A Destiny Unfulfilled

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.

Soldier: "Commander, we've confirmed this is the final holdout of the enemy, there are no other survivors."

Commander: "Excellent, now we eliminate them."

Image

Soldier: "But, they've holed themselves up in a storage room, and appear to be trying to signal for help."

Commander: "Then we've no time to lose."

Moments later:

Image

Commander: "Alright men, we kill these last troops and the facility is ours!"

Image

Demolitions expert: "Now, just let me secure the charge..."

Image

Demolitions expert: "There!"

Image

Demolitions expert: "3... 2... 1..." 'beep'

Image
Booom!

Image
As soon as the door exploded, the team unleashed a hail of deadly laser shots into the storage room and it's occupants.

Image
And almost as quickly the PLA soldiers returned fire.

Image
'swoosh'

Image

Soldier: "Look out!"

Image
Ka-Boooom!

Image
And in an instant, three soldiers and the commander were killed by the rocket.

Image

Commander: "Ugh, what happened?"

Image

Commander: "Wait, didn't I die?"

Image

???: "Indeed you did."

Image

Commander: "Um, who are you?"

???: "Who I am is irrelevant, Thalia Ahrendue."

Thalia: "How do you know my name?"

???: "I have my means."

Image

Thalia: "Also, where are we?"

???: "A vast expanse of nothingness that stretches on for an eternity, better known as the beige carpet."

Image

???: "Now listen. I've brought you here for a reason. There is a land that has been embroiled in conflict and war for a great many years now. Recently a great battle took place that finally brought about peace, but at a high cost, as a noble warrior and great hero was slain in that battle. I am charging you with continuing his task and protecting that land against all manner of evil.

Image

Thalia: "Surely you can't be serious."

???: "I am."

Thalia: "But what about Elves' war against the PLA?"

???: "None of that matters now. You died, remember?"

Image

???: "Here is your weapon."

Image

Thalia: "A poleaxe?"

???: "Correct. Your task is a simple one, I trust you will not fail."

Image






Image
'fwoosh!'

Thalia: "Hmm... Greener than I expected, but I guess it will do."

Image

Thalia: "Well, I should discover more about this place first. Surely there are some locals nearby."
Remember, as a wise man once said: "Nihil Est Quod Videtur"
