'''Zeus ARC Trooper Commander 003''', or '''"Scorch,"''' is the last in a line of specialized Advanced Recon Commandos developed by [[Sneezier]] using Yoshilier's genetic strain. Scorch is a first-generation clone, using cells directly from Yoshilier. Scorch made his famous stand in the Dark Ages, but has served with the core Yoshi Bodyguards even past their breakup. Scorch now commands the 1st ARC Trooper Regiment, which quickly has become the most feared regiment in the modern [[Star World Defensive Forces]].

== History ==

===Creation===

Scorch was created from the genetic strain of Yoshilier during Sneezier's Zeus project, a project to create better commando units for the Clone Army. Due to the immense cost, the project was soon canceled, but not before four Zeus ARC Troopers were created. One of these was Scorch. Scorch underwent intense training before being fielded in several engagements against the [[COUE]]. It would be worth noting that before the Dark Ages, he befriended his suits intelligent AI system, Erica. The two served side by side on many a mission. Scorch was sent back to Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters, taking defensive duty with his fellow Zeus ARCs briefly before the greatest calamity overtook Star World.

===The Dark Ages===

On the Zeus ARC trooper's watch, the Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters was overrun by the demonic menace. Two of the four Zeus ARCs died when trying to evacuate. Scorch and Zeus 004 made it onto a transport en route to Mushroom Kingdom before it was shot down. Zeus 004 was killed in the impact. Scorch lead the remaining Clones of the crash to Mushroom Kingdom, helping in it's defense and evacuation. After all denizens were evacuated, Scorch took what remained of the defenders and engaged Vaufendor's forces on open ground and taking some of their spawning portals. The battle came at a cost, causing a 60% mortality for Scorch's defenses, but it was a victory.

Knowing it would only be a matter of time before Mushroom Kingdom was overrun, Scorch managed to contact the fleet above, and took what defenders remained to evacuate the refugee camps scattered across the planet. His liberators moved through western Mushroom Kingdom, and into the Beanbean and Koopa Kingdoms. On the way, his forces gained volunteers, reinforcing his ground forces with what weapons the refugees and remaininG SWDF forces had, including tanks and aircraft.

Scorch's greatest failure came when he fought the demons on the Western coast of Star World. After hunting down a refugee camp that was under the saw of Vaufendor, the demons ambushed Scorch's liberators. Nearly all were killed. Scorch managed to escape with a small part of his forces, a majority of those killed by the elements or driven mad when the Titan revealed itself. Scorch's Zeus Armor, weapons, and his AI Erica were all destroyed by the metal-eating air emitted by the Titan. The loss of his friend and his army still haunts Scorch.

Scorch managed to retreat to a refugee camp, built out of a wrecked Starcruiser. There, he fended off the demon's forces, and watched [[Subsourian]] fight the Titan. When Sub nearly killed himself stalling the god, Scorch ran to the field, and carried him back to the camp, where he was given medical care for the remainder of the Dark Ages. He then was forced to defend the camp while [[Anubis]] faced down the Eater of Worlds, inevidably ending in a success.

===Service to the Yoshi Bodyguards===

Scorch managed to save the refugees, and was one of the few clone troopers to survive on Star World for the entire Dark Ages. He was promoted to Commander, leading the 1st ARC Trooper Regiment, uniting the remaining Advanced Reconnissance Commandos that survived through the Dark Ages. Scorch mostly served against the COUE up to their downfall, and was then reassigned to base duty.

His exploits with the Yoshi Bodyguards started when the base was raided by Bounty Hunters, each seeking information on the Alambic Sector's "Ultimate Power." It was Scorch that helped face down Gorea with Samus, devlivering several blows to the God-Creature iteself. Scorch returned to base, briefly aiding in a strange minimizing event for the Yoshi Bodyguards, forced to wander the base at a smaller size.

He then helped with several Operations on Pokeworld, helping [[Danny]] in finding his family and destroying the abomination that mimiced him, [[Dark Danny]]. Scorch was also leader of the group captured by Chozo sentry devices in [[The Shadows of Nor'Lesha]], breaking out of prison to contact the Federation, getting them off of the planet.

When the first battle of Finichia broke out, starting the [[Metal Wars]], Scorch was part of Sub's expedition to recover the Titan [[Dominatris]]. He personally fought the [[Necron|Necron's Nightbringer]], inevidably failing against his might, though he did survive the day.

Scorch would serve in many more Metal Wars battles, giving the 1st ARC Troopers fame. He personally delivered the bomb that devistated the Metal Army fleet in the Mid-Rim campaign, and his men held back forces in the Talon system, holding out against entire legions even with no reinforcements or cover. Scorch gained fame here, though he was there to help the Yoshi Bodyguards in several more missions, namely against [[Dark Danny]] and COUE remiants. He also served in a little known event involving [[the Cloud]], Operation: Cloud Hunt. He held down the base camp of Area 64, but was warped back to the "real" universe by a image of [[Topper]] with the rest of the clone army.

When the Yoshi Bodyguards broke up, Scorch was given no choice in the matter of joining the SWDF. His 1st ARC Trooper Regiment's fame, though, gave him access to many aspects of the SWDF life. He himself could pick and choose missions assigned to him, allowing him to work with [[Team TOT]] when he so chose.

===Modern Years===

Scorch's work with Team TOT was mostly limited to a major event involving a massive ghost Pokemon that threatened the sector. He was given permission to partake in aiding Team TOT alone, battling across space and time to fight the monster. In the end, Nocktor was destroyed, and Scorch brought back to Star World in time for the Metal Army invasion. With the aid of [[Frob and Bread]], his newly appointed honor guard, Scorch turned the tide of the battle of Fort Me'Chai, breaking their invasion in several sectors before they could gain a foothold.

Scorch then was assigned to recover Domanatris. He, Frob, and Bread arrived, just as the Copper Legion attacked the Yoshi Bodyguard position around the Titan. After all seemed lost, the Vhozon showed up, stating the Metal Army was a threat to them as well, as they had something in their posession with the cabilities to destroy everybody. Scorch used their help to defeat the Copper Legion, and took Domantris to Mekkai.

When Scorch landed, the three of them joined in the final battle against [[Metal Sneezier]] and [[Ultra Stuffwell]]. Scorch was given s atrange power through the battle, enabling him to speed through space in an orb of light. Scorch aided in the Metal Army's final defeat, and was given honors for his service to Star World.

Scorch appeared in the final battle against the Dark Perforation, as well. He personally fought his way through their defenses, eventually beating the Dark Perforation's core. However, in the final battle, his honor guard, [[Frob and Bread]], deserted the fight. Though it never was stated, Scorch was dishonored by this, as he personally vouched for their honors. He cannot figure out why they would abandon the battle, and is somewhat hurt by it.

Scorch continues to serve Star World, now resting from his previous victories. With command of his regiment, he has had little time to work with Sub or Team TOT. However, he knows his duty, and continues to serve against the enemies of Star World.

== Discrepancies ==

===Appearance in the Dark Ages===

Origionally, Sub had used a character in the Dark Ages named ARC Yoshilier, serving as Sub's assistant in manners involving the clone army. Scorch was supposed to be a renamed ARC Yoshilier, and was referenced to have served with Sub in the Dark Ages. However, Sub reintroduced ARC Yoshilier as his assistant in the [[Nightwind IV]], and created a backstory for Scorch's service, making the two characters seperate.

== Non-Canon Appearances ==

===[[Tick Tack Emissary]]===

Scorch appeared in the alternate-universe TTE, where he mimicked Falco in his moveset. Scorch was sent to aid Sub and Blizzard outside a jungle area, where they fought a clone of Blizzard. Scorch then called the [[Nightwind IV]] in, in order to persue Pichup's capturers. Scorch then commanded the Nightwind IV against the Ghost Ship, failing against it's magic, despite superior size and armaments. However, the Ghost ship was liberated, and Scorch used the Nightwind IV to lead the attack into Count Bleah's lair. The first attack failed, tunring Scorch into a trophy. However, after he was ressurected, Scorch helped beat Count Bleah, in the process nearly killing himself in order to save Sub.

====[[TRTDAHAN]]====

Scorch was sleighted to appear in this RP as a "door character," who is followed by the "real" main characters. Scorch was to appear in his Dark Age incarnation, where he would be raiding a demon camp in order to cover a group of fleeing refugees. This never happened, however, as he was never chosen before the RP died out.

== Personal Information ==

===Personality===

Scorch is a soldier at heart. He serves in battle with pride, and yet seeks little glory on the field (just the same, the 1st ARC's records are usually kept top secret). Scorch has a love for the Yoshi Bodyguards, and helps them with missions whenever the chance comes by. It has been referenced that he does seek a relationship, and, like Topper, is somewhat jelous of the other relationships of YB members. However, he knows that, being a clone, he would have no time for that, and must stick to his duty first. Scorch is strict on the battlefield, wanting only to see those under his command survive the day. No mercy is shown by him in war.

===Abilities===

Scorch's abilities are in his armor and weapons. His body itself is augmented with strength past that of a normal Yosi, with faster reflexes and better combat abilities. However, he relies on his weapons and armor to win the day, employing rockets, battlerifles, and explosives in order to defeat his enemies.

====Final Smash: Strafing Run====

Scorch, with his high rank, he is able to call in strikes from nearby SWDF vessels. These orbital strikes start with a bombardment of several fighters, which clear the area. Then, the ship fires medium range weapons, finishing up with a full bombardment of the area. The strength of this attack depends on the location. If there are local ships to call on, the attack is lethal. If not, the final smash is nearly useless.

===Family===

====Yoshilier====

Scorch was created from a cell of Yoshilier, cloning his direct DNA. He never got to meet Yoshilier, but he has heard of his exploits and death. Scorch considers him somewhat of a saint or guardian angel.

====Clone Army====

Scorch's closest family is the Yoshi Bodyguard Clone Army, most of which were born in the same lab. He cares for their saftey, and puts it on himself when they die under his command. Due to anti-clone sentiments, Scorch, like all other clones, has had to stick to his clones for companionship. His direct relations were to the other three Zeus ARC Troopers, who were all killed in the Dark Ages. For now, he considers the 1st ARC Trooper Reigment the closest thing he has to a family.

===Items===

====AR55 Battle Rifle====

The AR55 is Scorch's customizable gun. The gun carries "universal ammunition rounds," which can be modified to a single-shot sniper format, a multi-burst mid-range format, a close range automatic format, and a "stun" mode. The rounds come in different variants: standard, scatter, armor-pericing, incinerary, explosive, and "safe." Currently, there is talk of a newer "energy" variant, being created at Scorch's request since the Dark Perforation battle.

====S7786 Zeus Class Combat Battle Armor====

Scorch, being part of an experimental program, was given a suit of prototype armor that enabled him to uplink with PS systems, lock onto targets via HUD, survey squad member status, and scan targets for upload into the PS database. This armor was destroyed in the Dark Ages, but [[Sneezier]] created a second suit, this one containing better versions of the same features. Due to issues with the interface, the origional "energy shield" aspect of the armor was scrapped, instead agumenting the armor for better defense all around. The armor improved tolerance, but does not make Scorch immune to radiation, and contains small oxygen tanks for underwater and space missions.

====ARC Missile Launcher====

New to Scorch's arsinal is the ARC missile launcher, standard for explosive or anti-armor missions. This launcher fires Deznium-tipped rockets that explode on contact. In addition, the user gets limited control over the rocket, allowing them to hit specific targets with ease. Scorch rarely uses this weapon due to issues with weight and size, but it was one of his key components in the non-canon [[Tick Tack Emissary]].

====Grenades and Mines====

Among other things, Scorch carries an arsinal of grenades and mines. These come in different variants, grenades being, but not limited to plasma, stun, frag, and incinerary, while the mines are trip, timed, and remote. Scorch uses these liberally, and has a good record with their effectiveness and accuracy.

====Other Supplies====

Though the above items are standard on Scorch, his arsinal varies with missions. He carries two side arms, in case of disarmamnet, and a built in arm blade for close combat. Usually, he has medical supplies on hand, and has a basic first aid knowledge. Scorch also carried around the destroyed chip of the AI Jessica, keeping it as a memour of a lost friend and a good luck charm.

===Residence===

Scorch wanders from base to base, never staying in one place for too long. With the transfer into the SWDF and the types of missions his regiment carry out, Scorch cannot hold down a set "home." He very rarely sleeps, and when he does, it is in outposts or on transports between missions.

== Interactions with other Characters ==

===[[Subsourian the Dark]]===

Scorch and Sub have got along since their meeting in the Dark Ages. Subsourian trusts Scorch, and had him as his sub-commander for a time before he was transfered to the 1st ARC. Sub and Scorch still keep in touch, the two surviors of may a mission. Sub's serious nature sometimes bothers Scorch, and he sometimes wonders if it won't be his end.

===[[Sneezier]]===

===[[Top]]===

===[[Oshy]]===

===ARC Yoshilier===

===Plashhi===

== Trivia ==

*Scorch's name was from the Star Wars: Republic Commando character Scorch. This was an explosives expert with a large temper. As such, the name and "clone" status are the only similarities between the two.
*Scorch, in [[Pokemon Platnium 3]], was protrayed as sarcastic and somewhat mean to other YB members, namely Top. Sub considers this interpretation non-canon, though the story itself is not. Sub blames Top.

208.31.155.254: I overuse Sub... I know I'm forgetting some stories.

''"Scorch, I want to see this war come to an end. I want to have civilians go about their lives without fear of invasion. I want to see our men on parade routes not tours of duty! I want to see every planet in this miserable, war torn universe free from the grasp of the Metal Army and us with the ability to prevent any future wars!"''

Subsourian the Dark (or Sub) is a Morph, a humanoid being created by dark magic long ago. He is currently a little under five thousand years of age, and at one point commanded an entire empire. He now is one of the last [[Yoshi Bodyguards]], leading the clone army at the rank of General. Sub is depicted as a tall, thin human with black hair, pale skin, and golden eyes. He is usually clad in sky blue robes, though he has been seen bearing Yoshi Bodyguard ARC Trooper armor. Subsourian is one of the oldest RP characters still active, having appeared in the Yoshi Military three years before the [[The Yoshi Bodyguards]] were created. He regularly appears in [[Topmonhit's]] stories and comics, and is one of the major players in the [[Metal Wars]] saga. He is on friendly terms with most [[Yoshi Bodyguards]], although he has earned the disdain and distrust of many.

= History =

===Creation and Escape===

Subsourian was created around 2200 BZ on the continent of Elibe. One of the most powerful dark mages in history, Nergal the Madman, had begun to create an army of Morphs to aid him in obtaining the power of dragons. Several Morphs were granted the emotions and personalities, Subsourian being one of the lucky few. Soon after his creation, a band of heroes from the neighboring country of Lycia raided Nergal's lair at the Dread Isle, killing Nergal and the bulk of his morphs. Subsourian was one of the few survivors to flee the destruction of the gate, taking with him his master's spellbook, the Twilight Lexicanium.

Subsourian fled to the mainland of Elibe, where bounty hunters searching for the last remnants of Nergal's army pursued him. After a war broke out on the mainland between the countries of Bern and Lycia, Subsourian fled the continent altogether, fighting refuge in a distant land with a band of mercenaries. There, he learned the art of war and tactics, and aided them in overthrowing a cruel dictator in their kingdom. However, in the last days of the conflict, Subsourian was forced to use his master's spell, Ereshkigal, to save his allies. The spell worked, but Subsourian, unable to control the spell, was hurled into the vortex of dark mana, and thought to be dead.

==The Yoshi-Koopa War==

===Out of the Abyss===

When Sub used Ereshkigal and opened up the vortex of dark mana, he was cast into the abyss between worlds, where all dark mana is spawned. Sub was sustained in a stasis there, and, for nearly two thousand years, simply remained locked between time and space.

One day, on the planet of Star World, deep in the Koopa Kingdom, mages were testing uses for dark magic. One of the spells they cats tore a vortex through a nearby town, destroying it an it's populace. The vortex was strong enough, however, to rip Subsourian out from the Abyss and into Star World.

For about five years, Subsourian wandered, disguised as a mere goomba, the lowest of lows in the Koopa Kingdom caste system. He was later conscripted to join the Koopa Kingdom's military, and served in their magi regiments, where he continued honing his skill for the arcane arts. Sub was forced to fight under the command of the Koopa king, Ludwig von Koopa the First.

All of this changed when Sub and his regiment were charged with attacking a small tribe of Yoshis. The Yoshis, who were divided into tribes at the time, were virtually helpless against their onslaught. When King Ludwig ordered the slaughter of a tribe who had saved their regiment from defeat, Sub was one of many who defected to the tribe to fight against Ludwig.

This defection outraged King Ludwig, and he sent his massive naval fleets (all of which using Renaissance Period technologies) to assault the traitors. Sub, his defected human ally Pentance, and the Yoshi leader, [[Yoshimire]], all formed together to defend their island from the attack. Thus, the first Yoshi-Koopa war began.

===Yoshi-Koopa War I===

The Yoshis rallied together, and defended from the Koopa attack. The battle was fierce, and cost many lives on both sides. In the end, however, the Yoshis prevailed, pushing back the fleets. The Yoshis launched a counter offensive to the Koopa mainland, which ended in a complete failure.

In the next three years, the two engaged in fighting for the Yoshi Islands, both sides having to ally with and fight off other Yoshi tribes. In the end, [[Yoshimire]] was able to unite the Donut Plains under his control, while the Koopa Kingdom still held the outlying islands near their territory. This is when Subsourian devised a plan.

Through the course of the war, Subsourian, who was now one of two Supreme Generals who advised [[Yoshimire]], had developed some primitive magi-technology. Two of his inventions turned the tide of the war. One was the mass portal network, with the ability to take in multiple people at once, allowing for swift army movements. The other was a manafire bomb, with the ability to blast through even solid iron, which was unheard of at the time.

While [[Yoshimire]] was beginning to push into the Koopa mainland, Subsourian sent in specialized mages to set up an entry portal near the Koopa's capitol building, the Koopa Keep. Then, Subsourian himself lead in a night raid and detonated several manafire bomb in his castle, destroying the Koopa Keep. However, King Ludwig survived, and pushed his naval forces deeper into Yoshi territory, setting up a Koopa Tower as his main base of operations.

Two more years past, and the war seemed to be going nowhere. However, an event soon came to unite both factions.

===The Starlite Invasion and the Ascension of the Yoshis===

All of this changed around 100 BZ when several technologically advanced transports descended from the sky on the Koopa's territories. They were the Starlites, a hyper advanced race from another world, who had sent a force to scout out Star World for its occupation. The military force took the Koopa Tower, and drove the Koopas away. They, they began to push into Yoshi territory, taking island after island.

In a desperate attempt at victory, the Yoshis and the Koopas allied together. They were still outclassed by superior weapons that rivaled even modern timeline weapons. However, what the allied factions lacked in technology, they made up in magic. The Yoshis and Koopas had managed to hold off the Starlite advance on a single naval base held by the Yoshis. After the victory, however, the Starlites managed to launch a nuclear missile on the island, completely annihilating it and its occupants. With such sheer power, the Yoshis and Koopas were demoralized.

However, drawn to this incident were the Axis, an alliance of worlds devoted to destroying the Starlites. With the Starlite presence strengthening on Star World, the Axis supported the Yoshis and the Koopas in their assault. In the end, the Elite fortress island was destroyed, and their presence was pushed off of Star World. In the final battle, however, the Yoshi ruler, [[Yoshimire]], mysteriously went missing. No one knows his fate to this day.

After the battle, the Yoshis and the Koopas were offered massive advancements in technology if they would ally with the Axis and aid their war effort. The Koopas refused, not wanting any more to do with the war. The Yoshis, now under the rule of Subsourian, took the offer. Subsourian, however, was unpopular among many of the allied tribes, due to him not being a Yoshi himself. He offered the tribes a choice to stay on the planet or leave in space, and colonize a new world. Out of the twelve tribes united under his rule, three took the offer.

The Yoshis were horded aboard Axis ships, and sent into space. The tribes that abandoned their homeworld were deemed "Dark Yoshis," a term that stuck with them through their legacy. This would not be the last time they would see Star World, however.

==The Reign of Subsourian==

===The Settling of Greenflame===

Around the year 150, the Axis granted the Yoshi Tribes a planet to settle on. This was a largely barren plot of land on the fringe of the known universe, known as Tarsonis. This was an oxygen rich planet, though filled with psychotically sensitive hostile creatures. Subsourian ordered the ships to settle near an ocean, and began to found a metropolis with the help of the Axis. Within ten years, the city of Greenflame was fully functional, and a crown jewel on a barren tract of space.

The Yoshi race, unknowing of democratic leadership, crowned Subsourian as their new Emperor, a role he did not take lightly. There, he sought to help the Dark Yoshis establish a new life, using Tarsonis's large mineral reserves to trade with the Axis.

The Yoshis were not the only race in Greenflame. After several years, the Durians, a race distantly related to the Zoras of Hyrule, sought new a homeland, as their planet was destroyed by the Starlites. Subsourian set up a large aquatic sector of Greenflame. A mass influx of Durians swept in, making them the second largest ethnicity in the city.

Subsourian then fufilled his side of the bargain to the axis, and formed a massive army out of the Yoshis he had, known as the Imperial Forces. The Imperials were not many in number like most of the races in the Axis, but developed amazing magi-technology, such as the Nightwind, Subsourian's first capitol ship, and the Metal Titans, which were thought to all have been destroyed until recently. Subsourian appointed [[Gigey Foxer]] and [[Mia Takahashi]] to lead the Imperials, and even set off into battle on his own in some circumstances.

===The Axis Wars===

Not much is known on the Axis wars, other than it had spanned since nearly 1000 BZ, when the Starlites first obtained space travel and the ability to conquer other worlds. Their leader, Skylar Luyez, an egotistical creature who's life span far exceeded the war. He sought to bring the entire universe under his rule, and for the time, he had the resources to do it.

It was about this time the Vhozons were recovering from their near annihilation by the Necrons, preventing them from stepping in. Also weakened at this point were the [[Celestial Architects]], whose numbers were dwindling close to extinction near the rise of the Starlites. Due to the Chozo's nonviolent nature, and the Starlite's distance from them, conflict between the two was minimal. With no powers in their way, the Starlites would have trampled through the universe. However, invaded planets banded together, forming the Axis, with the express purpose of blocking the Starlite advance.

The Imperials contributions in the field of arcane studies were immense. Several battles documented showed old tribal spells created by Yoshis back on Star World being used in battle. Also documented were the massive Battlecruiser warships, and the five Metal Titans created by the Imperial force.

The Axis pushed back the Starlites to their home world of Starel, and proceeded with a land invasion. Subsourian himself headed the attack in his capitol ship, the Nightwind II. The battle was an immense failure, almost costing Subsourian his life as well as the lives of millions of others.

Starel did fall about three years later, when their Luyez was assassinated by one of his own officers and the entire empire broke into civil war. The Axis took this chance to strike, and cleared up the remaining forces. However, by this time, the Dark Yoshis were having problems of their own.

===The Second and Third Yoshi-Koopa Wars===

While the Axis wars began to draw to a close, Subsourian wondered what became of the Yoshi's homeworld of Star World. He sent scouts back to the planet to discover what had become of the tribes that stayed. The scouts reported a grim realization: King Ludwig von Koopa I, who had been prolonging his life by use of his mages, had reclaimed several Starlite weapons and began to use them on a conquest of Yoshi's Island. Subsourian acted instantly, sending in Imperial troops to Star World under General [[Mia Takahashi]] to quell the imbalance of power.

The Koopas, though equipped with high technology, had very little experienced in it's use. Subsourian first ordered the destruction of their moon base, and then focused in on King Ludwig's stronghold, the jungle island of Keyhaul Key. General [[Takahashi]] bombed the island with napalm charges, destroying Ludwig's massive naval force in one fell stroke. Ludwig and his officers just barely escaped, and called for a ceasefire. The King then made his way inland, his naval power crushed.

Two years later, however, Subsourian struck at the Koopa Empire's mainland, eager for revenge for past crimes of the king. The Imperials managed to make it to their new underground base camp, before another event called them back to Tarsonis.

Ludwig's Starlite technology was destroyed, and the Koopa Empire reeled in defeat for centuries to come. The anti-Yoshi sentiment between the two only grew as King Ludwig passed on, and his decedents took up the throne. However, the Emperor was having throne issues of his own.

====Subsourian vs [[Sneezier]]====

Between the time of the ceasefire and the third Yoshi-Koopa war, the terms between the Koopa Empire and the Imperial Yoshis were distant, and yet the two kept in contact. One specific event happened in this time that changed the two leader's perspective of their world forever.

Crown Prince Ludwig, from the modern times, had taken a time machine created by Egad and went back in time to rally two famed leaders to their cause. He deceived them both, making them believe that the Koopa Kingdom was on the brink of extinction, and Mushroom Kingdom was invading the remainder of the world. Subsourian and Ludwig put aside their differences for the period, came came back with the Crown Prince to help him.

Their orders were simple: they were to hold a space station against the invading armies. The station, unbeknown to the two, was a superweapon targeting Yoshitroplis. Mexous Sniffin Sneezier and a young Yoshi named PB were sent in to disarm this weapon, and faced Subsourian in combat. Though close, Sub was faced with far superior technology, and was defeated. Crown Prince Ludwig was later to follow, allying with his future counterpart to kill off Sneezier.

Then, Bowser revealed his plan, unknowingly overheard by Sub and Ludwig. Sneezier and PB fought Bowser, but was losing, until the two stepped in on their side, destroying the station. The two were thought to be dead at the time, but escaped back to the past in Egad's time machine, promptly destroying it to ensure no more tampering with the past.

===The Foxer Coup and Exile===

Back on Tarsonis, year 500, Subsourian's growing power was unnerving many below him. Several attempts were made on his life, none successful. Until one of the most powerful men in the Empire decided to make a grab for his seat.

While his forces were away, and Sub was alone at his throne, General [[Foxer]] took his Honor Guard and caused a riot in the city. General [[Foxer]] himself faced Emperor Subsourian in combat, almost defeating him. However, as an act of kindness, he allowed him to leave with a group of loyalists. Sub boarded the Nightwind III, allowing to crew to go into cold sleep. [[Gigey Foxer]] disabled Sub's hyperdrive, and sent him on a long exile.

There, Subsourian drifted in space, his loyalists in cold sleep. He remembered Star World, a land the Imperials had forsaken, and slowly began to drift toward the planet with what little he had.

Eventually, the Nightwind III encountered a COUE vessel. The Confederation pirates ordered them to be boarded, but Sub refued, firing on them. Eventually, the [[Yoshi Bodyguards]] intervened, saving the Nightwind III. Subsourian was grateful, and, knowing some of the members from the time travel incident, was offered to join. Unknowing of anything else in the strange, new universe, Subsourian and his crew were all honorary [[Yoshi Bodyguards]].

==Service in the [[Yoshi Bodyguards]]==

===Pre-Dark Age and the Rise of the Clone Army===

Sub's service before the Dark ages was scattered, and many times, away from the primary group of [[Yoshi Bodyguards]]. Sub worked hard against the COUE and Darkcorp remains, organizing Yoshi regiments to fight against their fleets. His actual battle service was limited, though when he did get the chance to actually fight, he was in he thick of battle, sometimes battling General Mysertio himself.

Then, on the planet Yoth, Supreme Commander Mack unleashed a new weapon to turn the tide. The Yoshi Bodyguard Clone Army was in motion, and, though the battle for Yoth was a failure, Subsourian and Sneezier built upon this newly founded clone army with their magi and tech skills. Sub, in particular, trained a majority of newer clones in combat arts, even producing some magi regiments of his own, as well as a personal honor guard, Dark Squadron.

Using parts of Mexous's Cyber Bell Vanguard fund, Subsourian also ordered the creation of a new fleet for the clone army. Several obsolete SWD and Cyber Bell Vanguard captiol ships were reconditioned and refitted with better weapons and armor, including Subsourian's own Nightwind III, remade into the Nightwind IV.

For a while, all seemed at peace. The COUE battles began to turn to their favor, Darkcorp had been all but wiped out, and the [[Yoshi Bodyguards]] became a force to rival the very Star World Defensive Forces.

Then Subsourian was tested with his greatest challenge yet.

===The Dark Ages===

When the Yoshi Bodyguard's primary leader, Yoshilier, was killed by his son, Summer, and hell broke loose. The remaining Yoshi Bodyguards scattered from the headquarters, going to different sections of the universe. Subsourian stayed behind to defend the Headquarters, when a demon attack overran the clone fortifications. In a last ditch effort, Subsourian fell back to a warp portal Sneezier had created, and set it to overload. The resulting explosion leveled part of the YB Headquarters, and destroyed many an invader.

Sub and the remaining clones ended up on a unknown ice world, searching for s crystal capable of destroying demonic manifestations. They were able to take the mine, when Space Pirates captured Sub and his group. They were thrown on slaver vessels, and disarmed. Sub activated the emergency signal in his PS, but the remaining YBs were too caught up in their own affairs to respond. Seeing no hope, Sub allied himself with an alien race also enslaved, the Lost, in order to escape. Sub and the Lost High Templar Trema both managed to liberate a Lost carrier, and almost escaped, when the Space Pirates brought in reinforcements.

However, in the nick of time, ARC Yoshililer and the Nightwind IV, along with two other capitol ships, moved in. The group had broken from their evacuation pattern to help Sub. Sub accepted their aid, and, with his new fleet, headed straight back to Star World.

Subsourian first began to set up base camp at the edge of a demon portal in the remains of the Koopa Mainland, hoping to stem Vaufendor's influence on the world. Sub held out against the first few waves of abominations that came from the portal, when Fazar noticed his presence. He launched a massive energy attack, devastating Subsourian and Trema's men. The Yoshi Bodyguard remains were forced to fall back.

However, Sub was not done. He moved into the ruins of Yoshioplis , and a fierce battle against Fazar's Black Dragonflight ensued. In the end, Sub had taken the destroyed city for his own. First, he attempted to break the dimensional barrier between Fazar's realm and his own existence, but failed, instead unleashing a demon wave on his own base. Sub then decided it would be best to track down the remaining Yoshi Bodyguard members, though with the HQ gone, the PS tracking systems would not function as usual. Sub had to rely on what radar they had,and noted a presence of [[Yoshi Bodyguards]] in a forest on the Mushroom Kingdom mainland. He wasted no time, and dispatched the Nightwind IV along with several search parties and assault teams to the forest, in hopes to save some of Star World's heroes.

Sub sent out several recon teams, himself heading the primary one, and set the Nightwind IV above the forest. His group first encountered Mexous Sneezier, who told him he was fine, but could not help him due to issues he was dealing with on his own. Sneezier warned him of the COUE presence on Star World before vanishing. Sub found traces of other members, but the only other Yoshi Bodyguard that was found was Comet, who was near death from poisoning and injuries. Sub took him back to the Nightwind IV, just as a recon team uncovered the location of Anubis, heir to the Yoshi Bodyguard leadership, in engagement with Fazar. Sub took this opportunity to strike, and just before Anubis was to be defeated, Sub airdropped several armored mechs to the location. Fazar and Anubis were both teleported away at the last second by Vaufendor, leaving Sub alone. Comet was brought back to health, but wanted to continue on with a mission of his. Sub granted him a small stuntfighter, and let him go off.

Back at Yoshioplis, Sub encountered a massive dark energy signature. Fearing the worst, Sub evacuated his forces to orbit. Just then, the Titans summoned themselves, releasing an energy that eroded away all metal. Subsourian's forces attempted to bombard the demonic entities from orbit, but no avail. Sub and Trema both decided to go in ceramic drop pods, and went down to face the Titans with a team of Lost warriors. On the surface, Sub met with Scorch, who was helping a refugee hub in it's defense. Scorch tagged along, telling Sub of a Fazar sighting west of them. Sub met with Anubis and a near death Fazar once again, but this time with the demon Vaufendor. Sub was to deliver the killing blow to Fazar, when Anubis stopped him, and asked him to leave. Sub obliged, saying he had a larger target, and warning Vaufendor that he would "cut the puppet from his strings." Sub and Trema then went to face the Titans themselves.

At first, the battle went as planned. Trema redirected the Titan's attacks to one another using psychic shields, and Sub struck at the weakened Titans. However, all of that changed when the Titans merged. A single blast of the combined Titan's power tore through the Lost defenders, and killed Trema. Sub, seeing no other option, unleashed a full Ereshkigal on the Titans. The blast was massive, and crippled the combined Titan, but put Sub to the very brink of death. Scorch carried Sub back to the refugee camp, where he did not wake until Anubis killed the Titans, Vaufendor, and the Eater of Worlds. Afterward, he was found by the SWD forces that secured the caravan, and taken to a military hospital.

===Post-Dark Ages and Reformation of the Yoshi Bodyguards===

Sub was put in intensive care for a long period after the Dark Ages, and eventually came out of the strain induced coma he was put in. However, he was still weakened, and for a time, would break down into coughing fits at random moments, with only a special potion to ease his pain. However, Sub was able to return to a reformed Yoshi Bodyguards, and saw to the founding of New Yoshioplis.

In later missions, such as the fight against the demon-form of Anubis, Sub provided air support and transportation, though too weak to actually participate in battle. It wasn't until Phazon hit Star World that Sub came back into action, fighting off several infestations of the substance, including a reformed Titan.

Sub had missed several other encounters with enemies in favor of reforming the clone army, which was all but destroyed in the Dark Ages. With the help of Sneezier and Scorch, Sub brought the army back up to strength, and began to bring the fight back to the COUE, which remained even after its defeat in the Dark Ages. Sub first tested the new army on Pokeworld, when Team Rocket began to play a trump card against the local population by mutating Pokemon, with results such as Dark Danny.

Sub really came back into action when Anubis came to Hyrule, a Federation no-tech zone. Sub was delayed due to political issues, but flew in to meet the group before they went to their doom on Koholint Island, the fabled island of dreams. In the process, Sub was hit by a storm, and crashed into the ocean. Sub contacted Sunset through a spirit transfer, but was cut off when the massive beast, Angler, devoured his ship. He was freed by the Yoshi Bodyguards on the island, and helped gain back the instruments, fighting a mirror image of himself in the process. In the end, Fazar was once again defeated, and Sub escaped with the rest of the Yoshi Bodyguards.

===Years of Chaos===

After Sub came back to Star World, there was very little time he was not busy with a mission. First, bounty hunters of the Federation raided the Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters. Sub defended the building, and teamed up with Federation hero Samus Aran in investigating a strange reading in the Alimbic Cluster. Sub and Scorch faced down the bounty hunters, and finally fought against Gorea. Then, when a strange shadow descended on Star World and caused an illusion of the Koopa Keep attacking Star World, Sub took to the defensive, holding the HQ against the illusions.

Sub then fought on Pokeworld again, defeating Team Rocket's genetic manipulation activities with the strong fist of the clone army. Sub then was warned of a Chozo derelict floating outside of Star World, and ended up on a massive prison world on a collision course with Star World. The prison harbored a fusion of the Metroid and X parasites, as well as the mad Chozo who created them. Sub and the Yoshi Bodyguards set the core to overload, and evacuated the planet with a Federation garrison.

When Sub returned to Star World, he found that a strange group of beings from Sneezier's future had invaded with force. Sub worked with the SWD and the Yoshi Bodyguards to fight the Plasmocs back, activating the Ion Cannon Defensive Network to destroy several of their ships before their soldiers became possessed with a demonic presence. However, the Yoshi Bodyguards were more than a match for the demons, and Sub himself aided in it's defeat.

Sub participated in a smaller known event where an online game began to manipulate reality, but was called away for issues against the COUE. It had turned out that the Federation had acted against Mysterio with the help of Coshi and Plasshi, and defeated their forces on Ryshi. Sub was ready to withdraw the clone army, when something had hit the universe.

A something that would cause more bloodshed than any war in history.

===The Metal Wars and Chaos Abounds===

As soon as the [[Metal Army]] struck the universe, the Yoshi Bodyguard Clone Army was mobilized, as well as the SWD and Federation forces. Sub himself had convinced the core Yoshi Bodyguards to help him escort a group of scientists to the location of a fallen Metal Titan from the Starlite period. After fighting through Ork, Metal Army, and Necron alike, and after a short alliance with the Vhozon, the Yoshi Bodyguards had finally claimed the Metal Titan as their own.

Afterward, Sub participated in several frontline skirmishes in the Metal Wars before being called back to Star World. Several factions had allied, and sections of Star World were put under eternal night, where they were mind controlled as they slept. Sub fought off what forces he could, but was shortly overrun. Top then came in with the rest of the Yoshi Bodyguards, and the group raided the villain's fortress, very nearly being defeated, but saved at the last second by an unknown force.

Soon after, Sub returned to the frontlines of the war, fighting in the Second Battle of Finichia, holding back the Metal Army from the Metal Titan. He then pushed to Sol, where he was almost killed when his Pelican crashed into the lava surface of the planet. Sub teleported out, and the force fell back.

Sub was then called back to support the Yoshi Bodyguards in a legal manner, having a large say in the politics involving the Yoshi Bodyguards. Subsourian was called to hold a trail of Topmonhit, who was accused to theft of several powerful relics. Top was found guilty, but both Sub and Top's Lawyer realized the jury was under a mind control. After a long journey, Sub himself helped face down Cackletta and restore the jury to their proper mindset.

Sub didn't return to the frontlines this time, however, as a stint with the chaos emerald caught his attention. Sub and the Yoshi Bodyguards hunted down Grodus and the X-Nauts, teething the chaos emeralds from their grasp. Sub and Top then took a group to find one hidden in the Pit of 100 Trials, retrieving it. Sub was to be shipped back to the frontlines, when an icy plague came over Star World, putting the planet in an Ice Age. Sub aided the Yoshi Bodyguards in finding their fallen comrade, Sneen, in Underwhere, and restoring balance to Star World's ecosystem. Sub was then called away to defend the Yoshi Bodyguards for their actions on Chronis, unsuccessful as he may of been. As a result, the Counsel mandated that the Yoshi Bodyguards be merged with the SWD after Mekkai was secured and the Metal Army defeated.

===The Last Yoshi Bodyguards===

The last mission of the Yoshi Bodyguards involved Coshi's homeland, which was invaded by a Plasshi immitation. The situation became sticky after Ryshi almost decided to declare war on Star World, and the Bugato Islands demanded the death of Plasshi. However, Sub rooted out the problem of Neo-COUE Porthexes, and balance was restored. However, shortly after, Top, Oshy and Topper left the Yoshi Bodyguards, causing everyone to go their separate ways. Subsourian, Scorch, Mexous, Sally, Coshi and Plasshi had decided to stay, holding devotion to the clone army and the mechas that still served.

This did not stop Sub from serving with old friends, and after a mission in the Upper Stream of Federation Space, Sub supported several former Yoshi Bodyguards in a raid on Bowser's Castle, but was defeated by Iggy Koopa. Sub then reappeared only to help Top fight off Lord Crump's mecha, but had to leave after a incident at Renton caused him to be called away.

Sub lead in Renton's defense, where a Metal Army fleet sought to break through while the shipyards of Renton were disabled. Sub drove them back, and mandated a new shipyard be build with better defenses for a surprise attack. Sub then returned to Star World for a wedding of Vivian and Noshum in the Shadow Dimension, and when things went awry, Sub acted quickly, using his dark powers to destroy the Crystal Ztar, and locate the shards across the world. In the end, Sub cast a small Ereshikigal on the possessed Noshum, freeing him from the Ztar's control.

Once again, Sub returned to the frontlines of the war, raiding several planets in the Mobius sector that were infested with the Metal menace. He took command of a garrison there, and drove the Metal Army's last bastion of the Zinc and Cobalt back out of the system and into Lylat. Sub then left the garrison there, and returned to Star World after he had heard Top had inherited an entire Kingdom.

Sub aided Top in military matters, when the Kingdom of Shiver Star was invaded by it's neighbors. Sub, unfortunately, could not devote Yoshi Bodyguard forces away from the primary threat of the Metal Army. The kingdom fell, but Sub transported the diamond away from enemy forces before they could obtain them.

In pursuit of the mysterious Cloud, Sub and Sneezier sent in a force for Operation: Cloud Hunt. The operation failed, and Sub's forces were withdrawn with no casualties. However, he has come one step closer to finding the Cloud, and using it's power for the benefit of Star World.

==The Subsourian of Present==

Sub aided Team TOT in an operation against an unknown military faction operating in the Mobius Sector (recognized as the DPC later). He beat back Metal Top, and returned the Master Emerald into it's proper place. Almost immediately after, he was called back to defend Star World from a Metal Army attack, where he lead an assault on a Mantra Class Dreadnaught with [[Dark Squadron]]. Sub lost his PS in that battle, when [[Whirl]] attempted to contact him due to [[Slike's|Slike]] assault. The Mantra was destroyed, and [[Sub]] headed with Sneezier to destroy the Metal Army at Mekkai.

Though Sub has served for many millennium, Sub does not plan to retire, even as the Yoshi Bodyguards merge with the SWD. He still feels as though it is his honor bound duty to protect Star World from any threat, and stands firm in its defense.

==Non-Canonical Plot Moments==

'''Tick Tack Emissary:''' Sub appeared in an alternate dimension version in TTE, where he helped Blizzard and Scorch in finding Pichup. Sub then helped the band of heroes defeat Count Bleah, failing at first, but being recovered from the death-like state of trophyism. Several other items of Sub also appeared, such as the Nightmare, the Nightwind IV, and Lunari. While the story is canonical, the version of Sub is not.

'''Knights of the Sky:''' Back before the Yoshi Bodyguards, Sub founded a military organization to "defend the RP Boards." This involved Sub and his dragon-like wyrm, Luna, as well as a large group of warriors who raided those who preyed on weaker RPs. The organization lasted for a long while, but clashed with the canon of the Yoshi Military.

'''Super Smash Nsiders Melee:''' SSNM was a comic and story series Sub appeared in, resembling the Super Smash Brothers series. Sub was a slow character, with low defense, yet a very high attack. Also appearing were [[Yoshimire]], [[Gigey Foxer]], and Wisp, a character that Sub now regards as non-canon, as well as trophies of [[Mia Takahashi]], [[King Ludwig von Koopa I]], and [[Pentance]]. Sub's course was an abyssal plain where bolts of dark mana would strike contesters. SSNM contained many [[Yoshi Bodyguards]], but is still regarded as non-canon.

'''Forum Emblem:''' A comic series by Subsourian about the NOAs of old Nsider. It used Sub as a personage, but only to represent the user himself.

'''The Yoshi Military: Chapter 19:''' The 19th chapter of the Yoshi Military was a non-canon one made on Nsider 2, where Sub had taken the remnants of Star World out of an unnamed catastrophe that devastated the planet and took them back to Tarsonis. Sub then founded New Greenflame on the ruins of his old empire, but was warned that the Starlites had returned, and had destroyed the Cyber Bell Vanguard. The Starlites attacked New Greenflame, and in the end, Sub's second in command turned on him, damning them all. Sub managed to teleport a majority of the population away using a time traveling device known as the Chronosphere, and never returned.

'''Team Rocket/Magma:''' Subsourian also appeared in the Team Magma and Team Rocket RPs, though he was portrayed as a grey haired psychic that contained the DNA of a Kyogre. He had a shining Relicanth named Raynor, who could move through dirt as well as water. This version of Sub could communicate with Pokemon via his psychic powers. He was later replaced with "Alfred" in the canon of the Yoshi Bodyguards, and appeared in the incomplete [[Team Rocket Revolution]].

==Personal Information==

===Personality===

Subsourian is a very serious character, looking at a situation from the logical perspective of things. He can be sharp and cruel, but is very caring of allies. However, due to his age, he comes across as cocky and all knowing, which sometimes gets him into trouble. Sub is very intelligent, which makes up for his lack of raw strength. He cannot stand negligence, which is why he dislikes characters such as Blizzard and Koop.

Sub has different views on relationships and death than other members of teh Yoshi Bodyguards. Having lived for four thousand years, Sub sees any attempt at a relationship feudal, and pointless. He has stated before that he doesn't feel true love like mortals do, though it was said that he did have a relationship back when he was emperor. Sub's opinion's on death came out when he saw Sneen's demise. Due to seeing everyone he knew for the past four thousand years die, Sub is somewhat used to the death of friends, and his ability to shake it off so fast almost makes him seem uncaring. However, the millions of deaths he has sen through his years continues to haunt him.

===Abilities===

Sub is a very powerful Dark Druid, and revered as an Arch-Magi. He knows thousands of spells from his four thousand years of study. He usually fights using magic, but does have a pistol as a last resort weapon. Sub's greatest gift is his tactical mind. Many times, outnumbered and outgunned, Sub has turned the tide of battle. He also is very handy with a single handed sword, and still wields his blade, Lunari, into battle. As a last resort, Sub can also produce dragon-like wings, but only after having used a certain number of spells.

====Spells====

Sub's total collection of spells is rather large, contained in the Yoshi Bodyguard library. These are the spells he leeks in his spellbook, the Twilight Lexicanium. Many other, more common spells he can use without his spellbook.

*Flux
*Nosferatu
*Luna
*Eclipse
*Fenrir
*Gespenst
*Aura
*Guardian
*Selvor Fimbulvetr
*Eclipse
*Stone
*Apocalypse
*Shadowshot
*Ereshkigal

====Final Smash: Ereshkigal====

If the battle turns for the bad, Subsourian may unleash his ultimate spell, Ereshkigal. The spell starts when Sub summons a great ammount of dark mana, and pulls it all into a set point, sucking up all matter in the surrounding area and condensing it into subatomic particles. When the center of the mass reaches a terminal mass, the center explodes, causing a massive wave of destruction.

Though Sub has used lesser versions of this spell, such as to break the Crystal Ztar, It has only been truly used twice, once to suck him away into the abyss when he was back on Elibe, the other to destroy the legendary Titans. The true spell draws directly from his Quintessense, or binding energy between the soul and the body, and thus leaves him drained and near death.

===Items===

====Druid Robes====

Since his creation, Sub has had a special garb that allows him to better use magic energy. This garb has been reconditioned many times, and covers up most of his body. However, it contains many pockets and compartments, which allows him to carry many supplies necessary for his spells and his survival. However, it does hinder his ability to move around.

====Twilight Lexicanum====

The Twilight Lexicanum is Sub's spellbook, and the only one of its kind. It is the only spellbook in the universe to contain the full inscription of Ereshkigal, one of the most powerful spells of dark magic. However, it also contains hundreds of other lost spells. The book also contains notes and new spells created by Subsourian himself, and serves as Sub's main weapon.

====Lunari====

Lunari was Sub's sword obtained when he joined the battle in the Starlite Wars, forged by Char Guildmaker, the master smith of a distant Axis planet at the time. It has been infused with hundreds of mythical metals, as well as the blood of Subsourian himself. Thus, Sub is able to not only use it in combat, but channel spells through it as if it were his own hand. Due to Sub's lack of psychical strength, he rarely uses it, however, he does have skill with it, and can deliver very swift strikes for a man of his stature.

====ARC Trooper Pattern Armor====

When Sub is on the battlefield, he is usally in the streamlined shape of ARC Trooper Armor, a special Deznium Alloy that can reflect most weaker attacks. His is custom made from an elemental ore, which allows him to focus defensive spells through it. In it's normal state, it is white with a dark purple trim, but the suit of armor can change color if Sub so wills it, allowing him to blend in to the surrounding area. This effect is partly annulled by the face Sub rarely wears the helmet, preferring instead to "see war through his own eyes."

====Nightwind IV====

The Nightwind IV is Sub's personal battleship, a Command Class Battlecruiser, and classified as a Supercarrier. It is too large to land on a planet, so Sub uses it for high atmospheric or deep space missions, as well as a base of operations for planetary invasions. The first Nightwind was very crude, but contained the first magitech weapons on a starship. The first model was scrapped after two battles by Axis engineers to make way for the Nightwind II, which had more guns and a better reactor, as well as the trademark "hammerhead" appearance. The Nightwind II, however, was destroyed in the battle of Starel. Thus, Sub created the Nightwind III to command his operations in the Second and Third Yoshi-Koopa Wars. When Sub was sent into exile, Gigey disabled the ship's hyperdrives and weapons systems, and sent him into deep space. When Sub joined the Yoshi Bodyguards nearly one thousand years later, Sneezier reconditioned the ship and reformed it's weapon systems with superior technology, thus making the Nightwind IV.

The Nightwind IV contains four A-A Batteries, six Orbital Bombardment cannons, a primary Yamatto Cannon, several magi turrets, and a Dark Mana Cannon, it's weapon of last resort. Aside from weaponry upgrade, Sneezier also adds hanger space to carry fighter craft and mechs. The Nightwind IV has had a near perfect track record, and, when Sub is away, is commanded by ARC Yoshilier, an officer clone who served with Sub in the Dark Ages.

====The Nightmare====

The Nightmare was a Wraith Class Fighter created by Sub for the sole purpose of surface missions where the Nightwind IV could not penetrate. It contained four Gemini Missile pods, three A-G Turrets, and a miniature Mana Cannon. The Nightmare was shot down and destroyed in a battle against Conrad the Conqueror's Fleet. Sub plans to get a replacement ship, but for now, uses Pelican Dropships or the Wizard Gundam from the hanger of the Nightwind IV.

A similar version of the Nightmare was used in Tick Tack Emissary, which assisted Sub in his ground operations. Scorch had a similar Wraith Class Fighter, the Crusader.

====The Wizard Gundam====

The Wizard Gundam is Sub's personal mecha built by Sneezier, built out of discarded magi technology from the conversion of the Nightwind III to the Nightwind IV. The Gundam contains two beam swords, a mana rifle, and the ability to siphon mana from Sub himself and amplify its power. The Wizard Gundam's interface uplinks with Sub himself, allowing him to fluidly control its motions. The Wizard Gundam is stored in the Nightwind IV, and is Sub's weapon of choice for close quarters deep space battles.

====Commissar's Pistol====

Sub has also requisitioned a pistol standard of SWD political officers. The firepower has been drastically increased, and, due to tinkering by Sneezier, it can now draw from Sub's dark energy presence. Sub has used it as a weapon of last resort, when magic fails him. It requires no ammo, and can charge in any form of light.

====Other Items====

Sub also has, in his possession, many relics and magical artifacts he has hunted in his lifetime. He has given some of them to other Yoshi Bodyguards, such as PB, Sunset, and even Plasshi and Coshi's newborn, Sera.

Sub also has a field medical kit, in case of accidents. He also has a standard Yoshi Bodyguard Platinum Shroom, which is upgraded for Clone Army operations. Sub also has a full array of herbalism vials and herbs, allowing him to create potions at will. This was useful in the period where he required special potions to take him out of the coughing fits that randomly ceased him in the year after the Dark Ages.

===Biology===

Sub is a morph, or a humanoid creature created by dark magic. He is the last of his race, originally thought to have a lifespan shorter than a humanoids due to their unstable nature. Sub is different, however, for when he was sent through the abyss, his body was linked to the dark mana that is required for him to sustain existence. He heals very slowly, much slower than most creatures, but wounds that would scar others for life eventually go away on Sub.

Sub requires no sleep, though it does accellerate his healing and allow him to better use his spells. Many situations, such as [[Plot of Evil Dreams]] have had Sub staying awake for months on end, weakening him immensely, but preventing him from being left open to mind control of ambush.

Sub's blood is an odd liquid. It is still red, but very deep and dark, giving off a black color to it. Many rumors surround the effects of Morph's blood and its magic and healing capabilities, but Sub has never supplied it in large quantities, as it, like his body, regenerates as a slower rate than other beings. Sub's blood cannot be clones, part because Sub himself discourages it, part because his cells are sustained off of a set stream of magic, which cannot be replicated by simple cloning processes.

Sub himself is thin, tall, and wiry. He lacks psychical strength, but makes up for it in raw brainpower. His memory is enormous, but yet is somewhat beginning to fade. His hair is a jet black color, his skin is very pale, and his trademark feature is his bright golden eyes that almost seem catlike in their shine. His lifespan is unknown, but he has lived for four thousand years with very little signs of fading.

===Residence===

Sub has no "permanent" residence as other characters do. However, when he is not in the Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters or in a field tent, he is aboard the Nightwind IV, which is one of his last possessions from the Imperial days. The Nightwind IV is Sub's only true home that never shifts, and should he decide to quit the Yoshi Bodyguards, there he would stay.

=Interactions=

===Scorch===

Scorch has been Sub's clone friend ever since he saved Sub in the Dark Ages. Scorch holds Sub in high respect, and is usually seen on the frontlines with him. Scorch and Sub have recently gone separate ways, Sub attempting to root out the forces that Metal Top serve, Scorch fighting the Metal Army.

===ARC Yoshilier===

ARC Yoshilier is Sub's staff officer, and commander of Dark Squadron. It was ARC Yoshilier who saved Sub and the Lost in the Dark Ages. ARC Yoshilier is only seen on scenes aboard the Nightwind IV, and rarely interacts with other Yoshi Bodyguards.

===[[Top]]===

Top is a close friend of Sub, which is odd, considering Top's personality is opposite of Sub's. However, on many occasions, Sub has abandoned the frontline of war to help Top with his own, personal mission. His quitting saddened Sub, but he continues keep in contact with him, and help in on his missions.

===[[Oshy]]===

Oshy and Sub very rarely speak directly to each other, which is odd, considering how alike they are. Sub and Oshy still disagree on the military use of the clone army, which has caused a large rift between them. However, they are still allies, and serve as such.

===[[Topper]]===

Sub realizes that Topper distrusts him, and cannot figure out why. Sub has no personal cause against Topper, and respects him as a valuable ally as well as a powerful fighter. Sub gladly serves with Topper whenever the situation calls for action, and supports him whenever necessary.

===Noshum===

Sub, in general, dislikes the shadow people due to their service to many enemies of Star World, such as the X-Nauts, the Shadow Queen, and the Shadow King. At first, Sub disliked Noshum due to this, arguing with him in front of his very team. However, in the end, Sub saw Noshum's potential as a dark magic user, and his immunity to it's corrpution, and considers himself on good terms with Noshum.

===Sneezier===

Sub and Sneezier have been close, despite the fact they both fought eons ago when Sub was being tricked by Bowser. Now, Sub and Sneezier are the last commanding Yoshi Bodyguards, and continue to rely on eachother. Sneezier upgrades Sub's equipment with higher tech, while Sub uses magi-technology and enchantments to improve Sneezier's inventions. Both of them serve against the Metal Army.

===Coshi===

Sub and Coshi hold a high respect for eachother, one being a warrior, the other a mage. His help in preventing Plasshi from being executed by Coshi's people has earned him a high regard, while Sub regards him highly just in his willingness to put his life on the line for a complete stranger.

===Plasshi===

Sub and Plasshi used to study together, and Sub taught Plasshi of the three schools of magic. Sub was unable to help Plasshi with the liberation of her homeworld, which still saddens him to this day. Still, even through her childbirth, Sub continues to help train Plasshi and her daughter.

===Sera===

Sub's sees a great potential in Sera, a greater than in a previous student of his. However, he fears for Sera, that she will let the raw magical talent go to her head. He hasn't discussed any of it with Plasshi or Coshi, and continues to train her to use her magical abilities while they are still new.

===Powerbox===

Sub and PB were close simply because of Sub's interactions with Sunset. Both of them use magical arts, and thus Sub continues to help PB, giving him equipment and weapons from ages past to help him.

===Sunset===

Sunset was regarded by Sub as a pupil, who Sub sought to train to succeed him. Sub granted him much training and equipment, and gave him what experience he could. Sunset was showing much promise, when he vanished, and PB went off trying to find him. Sub continues to try to find the secret of Sunset's parents, and trains Sera in his place, but Sera's future continues to remain in question. Recently, Sunset reappeared, but changed. This, too, provides a deal of worry for Sub.

===Pyro===

Sub and Pyro did not get along at first, but the two formed a slow friendship. Sub can look past Pyro's random nature, unless it gets in the way with his operations. Sub lost almost all contact with Pyro after he left the Yoshi Bodyguards.

===Chibi===

Chibi and Sub have a love-hate relationship. Sub dislikes the work ethic of Chibi, and how little she aids the Yoshi Bodyguard effort to defend the universe. Sub has even used Chibi as a weapon when he laxed in battle. However, Sub will reluctantly come to Chibi's aid when she is in danger.

===Max===

Sub knew Max back in the old days of the Yoshi Bodyguards, and the two had some tension between them. Max openly distrusted Sub, and Sub thought Max was a maniac and unfit to be in the Yoshi Bodyguards. However, Sub and Max would put aside their differences for the greater good.

===Danny===

Sub and Danny got along well at first, but his constant taunting and gloating annoyed Sub to no end. Sub still helps Danny in his situations on Pokeworld, but other than that, keeps a distance from him.

===Dark Top===

Sub knew about Dark Top long before even Top did, seeing the dark energy within Top pooling into one mass, wanting physical form. Like all "Mirror images," Sub generally leaves the issue of their defeat to the image's caster, but, like Metal Sneezier, Sub steps in when Dark Top begins to threaten the safety of Star World or civilized life. He is also worried he has not seen the last of Dark Top.

===King Rexor===

Sub has rubbed elbows with King Rexor before, and continues to fight against his armies. Only Oshy probably has more dislike for Rexor than Sub, primarily for the reason that Rexor is a villain on Star World's soil. Sub himself has begged the Council to take action against him, but the Koopa branch blocks any attempt to uproot them from their homeland. Regardless, the Council authorized every attempt to rescue Apricot from Rexor, with very little Koopa resistance, and Sub has spearheaded each of these attacks.

===Slike===

Sub knows very little of Slike, but was defeated by him once when a union of villains outnumbered him. He sees Slike as an egomaniac with a large mech backing, but his competence worries Sub. Sub himself double checked the security of the cryo-chamber Slike was locked in, to ensure he would never escape again.

===Ripvor===

Ripvor and Sub barely know each other, but Sub views Ripvor as an insane terrorist hellbent for vengeance in any way necessary. He feels no mercy for him or his cause, and still is on the lookout for him around the globe. A ransom is placed on his head.

===[[Dark Perforation Crusade]]===

Sub read about the DPC, long ago. He knows the myths and legends surrounding them and their master, Dark Perforation. However, not even Sub was prepared when they revealed themselves in invasion after invasion, taking advantage of the Metal Wars to hit undefended planets. Sub aided in the defense of Star World from their assault, and helped in the battle against The Dark Perforation. Sub himself was defeated by Minorbu, although he attributes it to lack of troops and supplies.

===Metal Top===

Sub saw Metal Top as a threat during the Darkcorp conflict, but now knows of his role in the DPC. Metal Top is no more of a threat to Sub than The Dark Perforation's weakest minion, in his eyes. However, he targets him only because of his past crimes against Star World and his conflict with Top.

===Eli===

Sub only came in contact with Eli during the Area 64 Hostage situation, and found his purpose; to reunite the Yoshi Bodyguards be defeating the leadership of the SWDF. However, Sub knows of his past efforts against the SWDF, especially destroying their fleet at [[Renton]]. He sees him as no more than a terrorist, but is perplexed at the mana-remnant on his body that mirrors the one of Enni.

===Anubis===

Sub and Anubis have always been against each other ever since Sub came close to killing Fazar in the Dark Ages. Anubis has a strong distrust for Sub, and Sub sometimes doubts his leadership skills. Regardless, Sub followed Anubis unquestioningly, even against his own better judgement. When Anubis left, Sub saw it as the end of the Yoshi Bodyguards.

===[[Sneen]]===

Sub always enjoyed Sneen's company, though he knew of his distrust. However, Sub knew he was competent, and fought alongside him, even after his death. At Sneen's death, oddly enough, Sub was one of the lesser impacted, stating that he had seen the death of almost everyone else he knew, and Sneen was no different.

===Koop and Blizzard===

Both Koop and Blizzard are the bane of Sub's existence. Their random nature, and complete disregard for the severity of the situation they are in prevents Sub from liking them in any way. Sub keeps his distance from the two, but is sometimes forced to help him.

===Tron===

Despite Tron's personality, Sub likes Tron a lot. He has great respect for his staying in the Yoshi Bodyguards after it's breakup (however unintentional) and sends him on missions of great importance. He thinks that behind his somewhat idiotic appearance lies a more intelligent creature.

===Enni===

Sub knows very little about Enni, but respects her in her willingness to help. He is saddened that he could not do much about her mission, but gave her what information he could on the last YBs. He is perplexed at the mana-remnant that surrounds her body.

===Whirl===

Sub has respect for Whirl's intelligence, and knows of his relationship with Evelyn, which gives him a bit of amusement. He thinks of Whirl as a capable fighter, and knows of his feats in the Yoshi Bodyguards, even though Sub and Whirl were always fighting on different fronts during their service together.

===[[Lucky]]===

Sub remembers Lucky from long ago, but really never developed a true friendship with him. He knows he is a capable fighter, and a good person, but not much more than that.

===Metal Sneezier===

Metal Sneezier is the current target of Sub, but Sub does not regard him as the primary threat. Sub will constantly taunt Metal Sneezier, and after Operation: Cloud Hunt, Sub sees Metal Sneezier as a figurehead, and sees the real power of the Metal Army as somewhere else.

===Ultra Stuffwell===

Ultra Stuffwell is what Sub sees as a true threat, and the true power behind the Metal Army. Sub regards him as the single greatest threat to the universe, and has set bounties on his head and rewards to anyone who has any information on him.

===[[Hey You]]===

During Operation: Cloud Hunt, Subsourian and Sneezier were sent into the Cloud's alternate universe to seek it's power. In the end, it was Hey You who took the power away from the Yoshi Bodyguards, and prevented it from being used to benefit Star World. Sub has despised Hey You ever since, nearly taking violent actions against him. His random nature also is a sharp annoyance to Sub, but he still has fought beside him when it was necessary.

===The Cloud===

Sub is intrigued by the Cloud, and wants to study its power for use to keep peace in the universe. Sub sees the Cloud as irresponsible and uncaring, and hunted him to his own universe twice. The Cloud constantly alludes Sub, and it is not rare for one of them to shoot or throw something at each other when the Cloud appears and vanishes.

=Trivia=

*Subsourian was not always portrayed as a Morph. In his first incarnation in an RP was as a dark blue Goomba, working for the Koopa Keep, which could use magic and had a robot suit. After he defected to the Yoshi Military, Sub was changed through magic to a human, and used the sprite of a orange faction colored "Guy" sprite, from Fire Emblem 7. After that, Sub's backstory was put in full, forming him into a morph. Since Sub lacked recoloring skills, he simply used Nergal's sprite from Fire Emblem 7. Later, he recolored it with blue robes, to resemble the "Knights of the Sky" he lead at the time. The robes color stuck, and is the way it is today.

*The same "Subsourian" came from the way Sub (the user) used to misspell the name of the Subrosian race from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. The misspelling stuck with him, and thus his main RP character was named as such.

*Sub has died twice in his stories, once in the Elite (Starlite) War, the other in a raid against the Zelda Military. Neither of these deaths are counted as canon.

Grodus Rising

2009-03-30T12:16:33Z

208.31.155.254:

''“For even in the ashes of defeat, we have been able to achieve victory. Not only is the seventh emerald now in our grasp, but the ultimate weapon of the Metal Army is now in our use. We have had much sacrifice, and yet we are stronger for it. Let it be known, from this day forth, that the Secret Society of the X-Nauts has achieved triumph over the most powerful forces in the universe. Let it be known, that Lord Grodus, has risen once again!”''

'''-Grodus, 7-5: Only in Death'''

Grodus Rising was a single story created by [[User:Subsourian|Subsourian]] used to parallel the [[X-Naut|X-Naut's]] quest for the chaos emeralds in [[Oddtastic Adventure]]. It is the story of the seventh, lost emerald, and [[Grodus|Grodus's]] attempts to claim it and the ultimate power that comes from all seven. However, in the end, Grodus found another type of power, one which made him one of the most powerful rulers in the universe. Many characters were introduced or reintroduced in this story, and many unrelated plotlines were crossed, impacting their future.

=Story=

==Background/Prolouge: Midst the Chaos==

The story begins three months after [[The Blackest Days]], where Lord Crump's inept leadership ended up crushing the [[X-Naut]] Armada on Chronis. Grodus has turned to a new master plan; he would distract the enemies of the X-Nauts with a petty territorial squabble, while he would go after the [[Chaos Emeralds]], seven gems used to achieve ultimate power, which had been scattered in their last attempt to steal them in [[X-Chaos]]. Grodus had each one of these emeralds tracked, and was preparing to distract the SWDF, when something went wrong.

The Red Emerald, held in a [[Galactic Federation]] research facility, was raided by [[Ultra Stuffwell]] and his Steel Legion, who took the emerald and destroyed the facility. Grodus caught wind, but could not track the emerald's signature. Grodus sent his newly promoted second in command and close friend, Admiral [[Stalvick]], to Star World's Fahr Outpost in hopes of finding information on the emerald's whereabouts.

==Chapter 1: Winter Assault==

At first, the X-Nauts tried an all out assault on Fahr Outpost, but that failed, and almost destroyed Stalvick's forces. They retreated, but were picked up by a rebel group who were wandering the Fahr Wasteland. This group was lead gby [[Litera]], and contained several notable members as [[Eli]], a inventor with a shady past, [[Paper]], a former hero now in dire straits, and [[Amphy]] and [[Christopher]], two sentient Pokemon who joined to gain wealth, and possible some technology to bring to their homeworld. Litera told Stalvick of a back route to the base, and asked only to join the X-Nauts. Stalvick approved, and formed the first Conscript regiment of the X-Nauts.

When they first reached Fahr, Eli and Paper disorganized the defenders, creating snow drifts that tore down the walls. Then, Amphy and Christopher came in with a double volt tackle, destroying the artillary that had destroyed the X-Nauts before, and disabling the base's power. Then, the X-Nauts came in, cleaning up the defenders. Stalvick then ordered Litera to take his men into the central building, and to secure it's databanks.

When they entered, Paper noted that the building was the Gadd Instillation, a famed military research station founded by Professor Elvin Gadd in his early years. They ran across a strange block, which Christopher activated. The block came to life, revealing itself to be [[Teen Angst]], an information block captured by the SWD. Just then, several soldiers come in to engage them, and Amphy attempted to shock them. He missed, hitting a containment cell, activating it. Inside was a raptor named [[Ripvor]], who killed the SWD troopers and offered his services as a mercenary to the X-Nauts. They agreed, and went on.

Before they reached the terminal, a [[Church Protectorate]] member named [[Sister Maya]] came to oppose them. The battle was long, and nearly resulted in defeat, but Eli came from behind, freezing her before Litera knocked her out with sleeping powder. Litera declared the place secure, and the X-Nauts quickly raided the computer terminal. Though they did not find any information on the whereabouts of the missing emerald, they found that [[Doctor Eggaman]], famed Mobian scientist and villain, was the leading source on the emeralds. Stalvick ordered all of his forces back to the fleet before the rest of the SWDF came to investigate.

==Chapter 2: The Renton Shipyards==

The attack on Bowser's Castle had just begun by Mario, creating an international incident on Star World. Grodus made a pact with the Shroobs, and sent the bulk of his fleet to Star World to oversee his operations. However, he was worried about interferance from their massive fleet, as they lacked the manpower to take on fleet battles after [[Chronis]]. He ordered Stalvick to raid the SWD's primary base at the Renton Shipyards (a formerly secret location, but found when Fahr's databanks were raided) and stall the SWD while taking as many ships as they could. Grodus stated that the first of the Conscript's payment would be any ship they captured personally.

The attack began, where Eli crashed his transport into one of the docks, coming out to steal a Blade Class Cruiser. Upon liberating it, he gave it the name ''Sylloderriga Jet Mk V''. Amphy and Ripvor landed on a nearby dock, where Ripvor destroyed the SWDF cannons while Amphy took care of the transport and it's tech crews. Amphy ran into a Federation Invasionary Transport, naming it ''EHUSGHVY26UJ79/:blunderface'' by the random letters he typed in the keypad, while Ripvor took a hidden Merciless Class Stealth Ship, naming it the Raptor. Nearby, the X-Nauts had taken command of a YSS Windfish, the largest vessel every produced in the Alliance of Worlds.

Paper and Litera both landed on a dock, but as they moved to the ship, a cannon bolt blasted apart the dock, almost propelling them into deep space. At the last second, Litera teleported Paper to a nearby Leviathan Battlecruiser. Paper thought it strange that Litera knew magic, but thought little of it, and named his Battlecruiser the ''Scientifically, Of Course.'' On another platform, Teen Angst and Christopher moved out, when Teen Angst was hit by sniper fire. Christopher first thought her dead, but then flipped a switch on her back, activating her. Teen Angst declared Christopher her boyfriend, much to his displeasure. Christopher raided a Tempest Class Drone Ship, naming it the ''Christopher's Fire''. Teen Angst came into his ship, before Christopher ejected her into space. She floated into a small Setting Sun Class Vessel, which she named the ''Totally.''

As all of the ships went to the rendezvous point, a large fleet of SWD ships came out of slipspace. This fleet was headed by [[General Birdross| Birdross]], who ordered their surrender. Stalvick taunted him, and the space battle began. paper was hit by a blast from the ''Twilight of Hope'', the SWD flagship, and was almost downed, when he pulled back. Eli and Christopher came in, defending Paper, but just then Christopher decided to hit the capitol ship. However, the ship was too much, and almost destroyed ''Christopher's Fire'', when Teen Angst used her ship's dimensional recall to pull Christopher back. Amphy and Eli were all that were left of the Conscripts, and were pondering hitting the ship's Combo Cannon, when Ripvor's ship came out of nowhere, damaging the ship and destroying the Combo Cannon. Just as the Twilight of Hope was ready to open up it's other batteries, Stalvick's ''Defender of Heroes'' flanked the SWD fleet, destroying a bulk of their ships and forcing [[General Birdross| Birdross]] to retreat.

Stalvick took all remaining ships, and destroyed the shipyards that remained. Grodus then ordered the fleet to move to Mobius, in order to take what research Eggman had on the emeralds.

==Chapter 3: The Secret of Mobius==

While Stalvick moved to Mobius, Grodus had already raided Popstar and it's emerald. However, other factions had gotten in on the hunt, including [[The Yoshi Bodyguards]], [[Cackletta]] and her allies, [[Popple]], and [[Bowser]]. The greatest threat to Grodus, however, is [[Eggman]], who had already claimed an emerald from Star World. Grodus sees Stalvick's raid on Mobius as a chance to catch Eggman off guard, and uncover any projects he may have to turn against him.

When they arrive, the X-Nauts find Mobius is under an invasion by the [[Metal Army]] and it's Zinc Legion. The [[Federation]] and [[GUN]] forces had been dispatched to quell the invasion, but the entire planet was in chaos. Litera states that the invasion is the perfect cover to invade Eggman's Scrap Brain Zone, one of his central manufacturing facilities. Ripvor, Eli, and Christopher are dispatched to the surface, but their transport is shot down by Metal Army raiders. They crash in the streets, and fight off waves of Metal Army soldiers.

Meanwhile, millions of light years away, Doctor Eggman takes notice of the Metal Army attack on his base. He decides to pull his forces back to a central structure, puts up a massive shield, and activates a secret weapon he had been working on in case of such an attack. The central structure activates, and sends out a signal, deactivating all Metal Army forces in the area.

Stalvick calls a meeting with Litera and Grodus, who discuss this new development. Litera suggests that if the [[SWDF]] or [[Galactic Federation]] got hold of the device, that the cover for their invasion would be blown. Stalvick disagrees, stating they should take the device and use it to disrupt any Metal Army operations that get in their way. Grodus agrees with Litera, and orders a second team into the center of the base to secure the area so the AI Disruptor could be safely dismantled.

Teen Angst and Amphy use the ''Totally'' to warp behind the energy shield, and move through a wave of Badniks to destroy the shield generator. Teen Angst accidentally uploads a virus in the computer terminal, which overloads the generator, destroying it. Later, Litera, Eli, and a group of X-Nauts run into the AI Disruptor, and clear it our, battling a Metal Shadow that defended the base's computer terminal. The terminal states that Eggman, too, does not know where the seventh emerald is, but a scientist named [[Whirl | Tabbir Whirl]] did, and Eggman wanted his research. Litera calls for explosives, but is relived by a group of Elite X-Nauts under Stalvick, who say they will dismantle the Disruptor. The group pulls back, and discusses how to get a hold of Whirl.

==Chapter 4: The Hunt for Whirl==

As Grodus's crusade for the emerald continues, all factions step up their efforts to find all seven chaos emeralds. Recently, however, the Shroobs and the X-Nauts have broken their pact, depriving them of a good portion of their primary fleet.

Meanwhile, hidden above Mobius, the X-Nauts discuss how to capture Whirl. Stalvick states that they should first destroy the communication's terminal for the Federation, where all of their efforts are being coordinated. Litera and Eli, being the only humans, use captured Federation armor and a stolen dropship, and sneak into the communication terminal, first finding a transmission stating Whirl was in Station Square, the most defended location on the planet. Litera and Eli destroy the terminal, but just then, an air raid siren sounds. The two run to their transport, flying away just as a nuclear blast devastates the Federation position.

Back on the ''Defender of Heroes,'' Stalvick shows that it was the Metal Army who had used nuclear arms on the Federation base. Without their communication's network, they did not have the ability to counter the missiles. To make matters worse, they had twenty more prepared, many of them set on Station Square. Stalvick states that if Whirl dies, their operation is a failure. The remaining Federation forces and the GUN Defenders were planning a last ditch attack on the nukes, but the base's defenses were still up. He orders Ripvor, Paper, and Amphy to destroy their central shockwave air defense cannons before the attack begins.

When they reach the surface, the three fight through Metal lines, set up plasma charges, and destroy the cannons. Just as they leave, the Federation/GUN forces fly in, bombing the base and destroying the nukes before they could launch and detonate. This puts the Zinc Legion on the run, but Whirl is still hidden behind Federation lines.

Stalvick reviews some of the stolen transmissions, and locates the laboratory of Whirl. He searches for a mysterious item of importance to Whirl, one that required the Federation to keep the lab secret. Stalvick sends Teen Angst and Christopher to take the lab, where they find Whirl's female companion, [[Evelyn]]. Just as they were going to secure her, [[Metal Chaos]] appeared, disarming the X-Nauts and beating Christopher to submission. Christopher then notices an unarmed grenade that stuck in his back, and sent a thunderbolt at it, blowing Metal Chaos apart. Christopher then calls for Stalvick, saying he has Evelyn secure. Stalvick had her chained, and sent a message over her private communicator to Whirl: Come here alone with your research on the emeralds, or Evelyn dies.

Whirl came, meeting Stalvick and his fleet of ships. At first, the deal was going smoothly, despite [[Glerk | Glerk's]] worry. Then, Stalvick EMPed Whirl's ship, promptly flanking him with a bigger force. He stated that Whirl would be captured, and awaited trial by Grodus. Just then, [[Coshi]] came in with a fleet of Yoshi Bodyguard ships. He had been sent to help against the Metal Army, but noticed the X-Nauts, and stalked their operations, interveining when he saw fit. He beat back the X-Nauts, using clone troopers to take Evelyn. As the Conscript's tried to get her back, Metal Chaos got in the way, allowing them to take her to their [[Pelican]] and back to Coshi's ship. When Whirl's group was safe, he used three ''Setting Sun Class Ships'' to teleport away. Stalvick demanded that they be tracked, and Whirl be taken.

==Chapter 5: Revelation==

While Stalvick tracked Whirl, Grodus was setting plans in motion to claim all six emeralds in one strike. He is pressed for time, and demands that Stalvick secure the seventh emerald. He tracks them to a unknown planet near Holocate, where a Yoshi Bodyguard base is set, as well as oddly dormant Metal Army forces. Grodus himself orders Litera and Stalvick to make sure the Metal Army don't interfere, while the Conscripts find the research, kill Coshi, and take Whirl and his group alive.

The conscripts drop in the middle of a battle between Metal and YB forces, where Eli teleports them back near the target. They infilrate their way deep into the base, where Whirl was showing his research to Coshi. The Consripts made it to the computer terminal, where they found the emerald to be on [[Alinos]], in the middle of a large Metal Army fleet. Just as they were going to contact Grodus, Coshi came in, and a battle ensued. Half way through, sirens sounded, and Coshi disengaged from them. The data uploaded to Grodus, and Stalvick congradulated them, saying that the mission was a success. However, the success was cut short. Stalvick noticed that the entire Metal Army legion stationed on the planet had begun to attack from Litera's position, and yet Litera had moved his forces away. Stalvick contacted Litera, who stated he had seen no Metal forces in his area, and when ordered to move back into position, stated the signal was fading, and he would establish contact later. Stalvick ordered the Conscripts to evacuate the planet, and stated he had a personal matter to attend to.

The Conscripts moved through the base, which was being bombarded by Metal Army artillary soon after the transmition ended. They reached the rooftop, where they met Coshi, who was evacuating Whirl's group. Eli tried to attack him, but was shot by his gunblade, htting his leg. This bought them enough time to lift off, and, after some risky flying, Coshi took Whirl to his flagship, the Great Panaj. [[Jet Gundam]] then took the ship out of orbit, and sped into hyperspace toward Star World.

In the meantime, the Conscripts fought off several Ariel Zaku Troopers before a dropshop, commanded by Litera, came down to pick them up, Oddly enough, no Metal Army forces opposed them as they regrouped with the remains of the fleet. Litera informed the Conscripts that Stalvick had betrayed them, and they had to regroup with Grodus. Eli was sceptical, but his injury prevented him from saying anything.
