ACT II
 

Broken Alliance

A Trade Alliance Corellian Corvette returns laser fire as it is pursued through space by the Dragon Guard warship, The Empress. The Trade Alliance vessel takes several damaging hits and is soon caught by the superior starships tractor beams. Trade Alliance troops along with battle druids prepare for battle. Lasers cut their way aboard. Smoke fills the corridor as the Dragon Guard soldiers in full battle armour, complete with their intimidating Dragon Headdress, storm the smaller craft. The firefight is swift leaving many Trade Alliance troops dead. Through the fire and smoke Queen Tetris Bloodaxe boards the captured craft. She quickly surveys the bodies, smiling as she sees no Dragon Guard among the dead, then strides onwards.

Tetris holds one of the captured Duro crew by the throat lifting him from the ground.
“A transmission was sent to this ship by Trade Alliance spies, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you?!” demanded Tetris.
“We’re a Trade Alliance ship, on a marketing mission?” managed the Duro.
“If this is a Trade Alliance ship where is the ambassador?” screamed Tetris, but the Duro was dead. Dropping the body Tetris turned to Diotrophes, the Dragon Guard Captain, “Captain tear this ship apart until you’ve found those plans, and bring me the passengers, I want them alive.”
Returning to The Empress Tetris Bloodaxe is joined on the bridge by Bail Ohmar, dressed in full Mandalorian Commando armour.

“The plans are not aboard the ship and no communications were made,” reported Ohmar, “An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting.”Tetris glared at the Castle Bloodaxe Lord Protector, “Then, Bail Ohmar, go and fucking get it!”
There was a moment of silence before Ohmar responded, “Well I was about to, your high and mightyness, but I wanted to know if you’re coming with us. We’ve tracked it to that moon we just passed, the second moon of Phebes.”
“Phebes?” came a voice across the room, it was Ares of Oldfort, Castle Bloodaxe Castellan, “Isn’t that the old sector capital?”Tetris turned and glared at Ares. “Yes, about two thousand years ago. And for sticking your nose in you can kit up too. Get your ass down to the docking bay!”


The Planet Phebes was once the shining jewel Beyond the Blood Drift, before the Blood War, before the Sith! Now the planet is a dead world, a radioactive wasteland. The second moon does support life. A small population supports a mining operation, but life is not easy. The moon is ravaged by heat storms, and prolonged exposure to non-natives can cause radiation sickness.

Tetris Bloodaxe exits her shuttle, flanked by Bail Ohmar, Ares of Oldfort and six Dragon Guard. After questioning miners in a local cantina Tetris flies her shuttle over to where the escape pod landed. The occupant is gone with the tracks leading in the direction of the Mining Corporation buildings. Taking the shuttle the NBO are greeted at the Corporation by a Gran representative who says that the transport with the escape pod occupant has yet to arrive, and suggests her highness wait. While they wait Trade Alliance soldiers with Droideka attack the Dragon Guard guarding the shuttle, but the Dragon Guard easily defeat them. Droideka also attack Tetris, but Tetris, Bail Ohmar and Taurus make short work of them. Tallum Tor, the Duro from the escape pod who has the stolen NBO plans escapes in his ship. Tetris gives pursuit and shoots down the fleeing Duro, recovering the plans.

Returning to Castle Bloodaxe things seem to be going, normally. Terri leads her new ‘puppy-dog’ into the throne room as a gift to Tetris. Only this puppy-dog is Lira vex dressed in nothing but a studded dog collar. Terri parades Lira, naked, around the throne room making sure everyone gets a good view of her in all her glory.  Tetris enjoys her gift, chaining her to her throne, but all is not as it seems when a ghost of the evil Lira appears to Tetris, warning her, the REAL bitch is coming back!



The Black Blood Guardians

Queen Tetris Bloodaxe, along with Athena, Jo'din and Taurus, travels to Archeron, the capital world now devastated by the Draygons, to search for clues about the Black Blood Guard. Evading Draygon sentry starships Tetris lands on the planet. The cities are in ruin with few survivors fighting for scraps.

Making their way through a giant crater a gigantic Krayt Dragon rises from the earth. In an instant Tetris leaps at the attacking beast. Landing on it's nose the Bloodaxe Queen tosses a primed Thermal Detonator up the creatures nose, then jumps clear. The resulting explosion kills the giant beast!

The group soon finds the remains of a hidden Blood Guard base. Using her access codes Tetris is able to retrieve information on the Black Blood Guardians, indicating a hidden base on the distant world of Argos, a world now controlled by the Trade Alliance.

Once on Argos Tetris finds the hidden Black Blood base, but her party is attacked by the Black Blood Guard. After a hard fought fight, against Black Blood Guard who are capable of using the dark side of the force, Tetris enters the base only to find Phantillios, the Blood Emperor, still apparently alive. Phantillios boasts how the events of the Blood Drift were of his making, and that he was never killed. Bail Ohmar, realising Phantillios is hiding something, shoots the Blood Emperor, closing the pocket dimension from where he is trapped.

The Black Blood Guard refuse to pledge their loyalty to Tetris Bloodaxe, but agree not to get involved in the affairs of the Blood Drift.

Tetris returns to Gar, with Bail Ohmar bitching about having to polish his armour again!



New Bloodaxe Order vs. The Draygon Empire

The Empire has blockaded the Blood Run preventing delivery of the new Chakram-Wing Starfighters. Queen Tetris Bloodaxe has a plan. Tetris locates a STARGATE within the Tapani Sector, and pilots are sent through. If the Empire will not let the starfighters be transported through then they will have to fight their way past.

However, Imperial High-Admiral Vale, who Tetris thought she had killed, was expecting this move. Over half of the new Chakram starfighters are lost!

Dragon Guard Fleet Marshall Valeria reports to Tetris that the Draygon Fleet is moving, and that they should be intercepted in the Asteroth System. Tetris commands her flagship, The empress, before leaving to lead a boarding party to capture the Draygon Warlord Carnifex. Carnifex and Tetris duel, and it is Tetris Bloodaxe who inflicts the killing blow to the fallen Carnifex. It is here that Jo'din realises that the Dark Side is starting to take it's grip on the Blood Queen.

The hero's return to Castle Bloodaxe on Gar with the Draygon starfleet all but destroyed. The Dragon Guard have been victorious and the Blood Empress, Tetris now ruler of the Blood Drift Sector.



The fate of the Blood Empress

Angus Yager, Captain of the Guard of Castle Bloodaxe, is in a panic. There is a strange fog in the air, with light rain, claps of thunder and flashes of lightening. Angus finds the castle Castellan, Ares of Oldfort, exiting the kitchens.

"Sir, sir..." calls out Angus, "You must come quick!"
"Why?" enquires Ares. "The night is late and I have a mug of ale and the serving wench Maria waiting for me in my bed chamber."

Angus all but drags Ares up the old stone steps to the castles inner battlements. Several guard are on duty, all looking over wall.
"Look sir," instructs Angus.
Ares shrugs, "What? All I'm going to see is the outer castle wall, the queens starship, a bunch of Dragon Guard milling around like they own the place, and beyond that a muddy swap and possibly Oldfort village. Though that's doubtful through this fog."

"But look sir," says Angus. Ares relents and looks out over the castle wall. Down the long high clifftops, down the long winding path, and he can just about make out through the fog the thick forests below with the twinkling of torch lights in the distance. Ares scratches his head.
"No outer castle."
"No sir," replied Angus.
"No Dragon Guard."
"No sir."
"No swamp."
"No sir."
"And we're on top of a cliff."
"No sir, I mean yes sir," said Angus.
"But the question is..."
"Yes sir?"
"Who's going to tell queen bitchyness!"

Things start getting worse. Not only has the castle apparently 'moved' but the foodstuffs have all gone off. Tetris leads a small party of Athena, Livia, Achilles and Bail Ohmar to investigate.

Leaving the castle the group find a stone obelisk, and a man appears. He says Tetris must prove herself, and gather the four stone tablets, then return here. He disappears.

Proceeding, the group first encounter an old building, that appears to be an ancient library. An ancient spirit asks three questions, which Tetris answers, before allowing them to pass.

Secondly the group has to pass through a traps room suspended over a chasm. Tetris manages to evade the traps and deactivate them allowing the party to pass.

Next the group reaches a building where ladies of ill repute offer services. Tetris must offer up a party member. First she chooses Athena, but Athena refuses, tells Tetris what she thinks of her, then turns and leaves.. Tetris then offers Livia. The Garbarian warrior is stripped naked and fucked by a group of strangers. Tetris continues alone. Bail Ohmar had no qualms with Tetris but chose to return to the castle nevertheless with Achilles and a humiliated Livia.

Tetris's final challenge is to fight off a Quadrut, a time-travelling defender of the gods. The challenge is tough, but the Blood Empress defeats the creature.

Tetris returns to the obelisk, catching up with Livia and Achilles. She inserts the stone tablets that she has gathered. The obelisk lights up and Tetris is engulfed in a bright white light. When the light is gone so is Tetris!

When the morning comes the castle has returned to Gar. There is no sign of Tetris Bloodaxe.



Dark Lords of the Sith

Tetris Bloodaxe makes an agreement with the Sith Lord, Chavekk, to become his apprentice and learn to use the Dark Side of the Force. Tetris gets transported back in time, to the era if the Knights of the Old Republic where there was no Darth, but many Sith Lords. There she must attend the Sith Academy.

Despite her superior combat skills Tetris fails to learn the Dark Side, twice being defeated in combat, and is ejected from the Academy, eventually returning to Gar in her own time.
