The Darkest Hour

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

The Darkest Hour

Post by Arkbrik » Sun May 30, 2021 5:24 am

(If you are interested in the story so far, check this page for links)

Image

Somewhere in deep space: The base of the Acquiriens.

Image

The mysterious Slayzer Discs are being studied.

"All right, tell me", Annabella Anning says. "What's the deal with these Discs?"

"I'm seeing an incredibly high energy output..." the robot Mechanik notes.

Image

"...and it just keeps rising! The Discs are exerting some kind of force outside the normal laws of physics! If this keeps up, it's going to cause a spacetime collapse!"

"Welp. That can't be good."

Image

Elsewhere: The famed Castle Knightalot, home of the Square Table.

Image

The castle's great hall is silent. Sir Dracus sits alone at the Square Table, pondering the Discs that have been won at such great cost. King Auris, his valiant liege. Lady Leonora, his brave comrade. Marvin, the wise magician. All have fallen, in the pursuit of these Discs. But what is Sir Dracus to do now?

Suddenly a scream is heard from outside!

Image

"Noooo! My hovel!"

A peasant gets his home smashed by... a space rock?

Image

The worlds are colliding. The Acquirien base and Castle Knightalot are moving towards each other, fast!

Image

Sir Dracus rushes outside, and sees what is happening.

"The castle will be smashed! How can I stop this, alone? This is the Square Table's darkest hour..."

"You are not alone, Sir Dracus", a familiar voice rings out.

Image

It's King Auris! Along with Lady Leonora, and Marvin the Magician!

The prophecy has been fulfilled. When the Knights of the Square Table face their darkest hour, King Auris will return to lead them once more.

Image

"The Discs are pulling each other closer", Marvin says. "The ones in our castle, and the ones the Acquiriens have. They will not cease until they are reunited."

Image

King Auris calls out across the rapidly shrinking field.

"Acquiriens! Hand over your Discs to us, quickly! Or we shall both be destroyed!"

Image

"That's a great idea", Annabella shouts back, "but how about you give your Discs to us instead?"

Image

"Never!"

Image

"Those fool Acquiriens refuse to see reason. We will have to take the Discs by force!"

Image

"Get everyone together! We're getting the rest of these Discs!"

To be continued... right here
