ACT III

Episode 1

Galaxy 4. Queen Tetris Bloodaxe commands the WARFORGED, a mighty capital warship, head of Ares Dragon Guard Fleet. The Dragon Guard are in combat with Nostect warships, and the Nostect are winning. Unable to penetrate the Nostect shields the Dragon Guard fleet is being destroyed! The Warforged is hit forcing Tetris (along with Bonjiovi and her clone bodyguards Anakiin and Paadme) to evacuate, teleporting to a random nearby world.

Beyond the Blood Drift. Ord Hellenia, a small outpost on a magma world on the edge of the 'drift. Achilles and Marcus sit in a cantina wondering what went wrong with their last attempt to find a new Hyperspace route out of the blood Drift. Marcus is convinced the route should have existed. Achilles goes to the bar as two Kel Dor Bounty Hunters from Guild Dorean enter. A blaster-fight ensues and Marcus is killed. Achilles flees only to be cornered by more Bounty Hunters waiting at the docking bay.
"We're taking you back to Gar!"

Galaxy 4. Tetris finds herself on a primitive world. Fortunately the locals know of the magic circle (Hyper-Gate), but she is unable to get to New Gar. Instead she returns home to Gar. The Gar Hyper-Gate is hidden behind the Temple of Ares, but as she enters the temple Tetris is caught in a trap set by the Marauders of Gar.

Gar. The Princedom of Prince Bloodbane. Tetris's cousin, Prince Bloodbane has recently been sheltering Athena, Ares, Livia and Lord Adomar following the Return to Gar of King Bloodaxe! But Bloodbane has his own problems, partly due to King Bloodaxe, Eldred the Bastard has been invading from the South. Athena, Ares & Livia join the forces to repel this invasion, and do so admirably.

Castle Bloodaxe. The Dungeon. Tetris is chained up, but she is not alone, also chained up is Bail Ohmar! Ohamr let himself get caught after discovering the Marauder trap in the Temple. He fills in Tetris, telling her that her father has taken the throne with the help of an army of Marauders. Not only that but the Blood Drift is now cut off as the Empire has mined the only hyper-route into the Sector.

Tetris's blood boils when she is visited by her former 'puppy-dog' Lira Vex! Vex taunts Tetris, even more so when she says she is going to marry her father, and so will be her step-mother! After Lira leaves Tetris has another visitor, Gorm. Gorm turns out to be a childhood friend of Tetris's back on Tatooine. He is now serving Wyrmblood the Hutt. He says he will do what he can to help.

"So you got yourself captured to rescue me? good plan!" retorts Tetris at Bail Ohmar.
"Tetris," replies Bail, "you're talking to the guy that escaped Kessell. This primitive dungeon of yours could never hold me." Bail grins, "especially when I planned for it."

Bail & Tetris start arguing. Bail goads Herman, the dungeon warden, into giving his chains some slack of that he can fuck the Queen! Herman does, but only for Bail to grab a hidden blaster set for stun! Bail frees Tetris and the pair make their escape through a secret passage.

Bail & Tetris break into the Bloodaxe starport and manage to get to Jo'din's starship the Makeshift. They soon arrive at Castle Bloodbane where Tetris starts re-grouping her troops.

With the help of Aphrodite, Tetris is able to assault Castle Bloodaxe forcing her father, Lira and the Marauders to flee.



Episode 2

Tetris tries to get life back to some form of normality at the castle.

Jo'din discover Achilles in the dungeon, he had been taken prisoner by King Bloodaxe. In freeing him a creature with many mouthed tentacles attacks from underground. Jo'din eventually fights off the beast.

Athena sees a stranger in the castle grounds. Confronting him he has the appearance of Darth Maul, but identifies himself as Darth Anhil. He calmly tries goading Athena by suggesting he has come to kill Tetris, and then to lure her to the Dark side. Athena says she doesn't care and takes him to see the Queen.

In the Great Hall Darth Anhil addresses Tetris but shows no regard or respect for her position or power - he does not fear her, or apparently anything. He offers her help, although is vague in what he is offering. Tetris says she's not interested, but Darth Anhil appears not interested in her response saying that he knows the future and he and his master are the only way forward. With permission he turns and leaves, much to the anger of Tetris.

Athena shows out Darth Anhil, yet they are stopped by... Hilda Ogen, the head Steward and cook! She warns off Darth Anhil who... to Athena's surprise and amusement... appears visibly shaken by the old womans verbal assault. Darth Anhil leaves very quickly.

Back in the great hall Paadme informs Tetris guards have reported an intruder at the Temple of Ares via the Hyper-Gate. The intruder is brought to the castle, an unarmed Borg Woman call Unimatrix, claiming to be sent by Lord Aragorn of the Tapani Sector* inviting Tetris to a Gala Ball, and having information vital to the Rebellion.

The next day Tetris leaves for the Tapani Sector via the Hyper-Gate.


* the hyper-lanes to the Blood Drift Sector is blocked by The Empire but there is a secret Hyper-Gate (Stargate) on a remote moon in the Tapani Sector that is known to Tetris and a few Pelagian nobles.



Episode 3 - Queen of Tapani

Tetris, along with Achilles, Livia, Jo'din, Anakiin, Paadme and Bonjiovi travel to Procopia abord a Royal Yacht provided by Lord Aragorn of House Pelagia. Tetris is given a suit at the Royal Hotel, Queen or not this is a luxury she is not used to.

Lord Aragon meets with Tetris to say he has invited her to tonights Gala Ball so that afterwards they can discuss business. Aragorn says he can do a better deal on an order of Chakram Starfighters that could in itself allow Tetris to make a profit of a million credits!

Tetris attends the Gala Ball, where Lords from all Houses are present as well as high ranking Imperial Dignitaries. Also present are Terri Lexgar (undercover spying on Commissioner Sleer) and Princess Leia, Melantha High Lord Bal Jaset*, several Imperial officers and Prince Xizor.

Tetris turns her attention to Lord Bal Jaset.
Later Tetris discovers that Bounty Hunter Guild Xeen guild Mistress Astra Xeen is here with an unusual offer. She has a holocube containing sexual images of Princess Leia. She was going to trade it with the Princess, but offers it to Tetris in exchange for Bounty Hunting rights Beyond the Blood Drift. Later Princess Leia is distraught when she discovers the Holocube in the Gar Queens possession.

As the evening moves on Princess Leia is recognised by Imperial Commander Malice, Terri had already told Tetris that the Tapani Security had been secretly replaced with Imperial Storm Commandos! Tetris helps Leia escape the Ball by dressing her as slave girl. Jo'din is able to help by using the Jedi Mind Trick FORCE power to distract some of the guards.

Leia is taken for safety to Tetris's private suit while Tetris herself calls on her limo to meet up with Lord Bal Jaset.

* In the Warriors of Gar Universe Lord Bal Jaset is a younger good looking man.


Episode 4 - Vexed!

On attempting to return to Gar Tetris Bloodaxe finds that the Gar Hyper-gate has been disabled. She suggests trying another 'gate, and Bonjiovi recommends Archeron, capital world of the Blood Drift.

On Archeron the Hyper-Gate is deep inside the Royal Citadel. The Gate-Room is vast with a gantry from the Hyper-Gate stretching over an apparently bottomless pit. Tetris is soon met by Dragon Guard and Diotrophes where it is agreed the capital ship The Empress will take her to Gar.


Meanwhile on Gar...

Lord Adomar reports to the Castle Bloodaxe that Marauders have overrun Jadzia's regiment and taken control of the Temple of Ares. Although Adomar and many denizens of Gar would not see the tactic advantage of that, Athena, Castellan Ares and Bail Ohmar all know that the Gar Hyper-Gate is hidden behind the Temple.

A plan is devised. Lord Adomar will lead the main force of Bloodaxe troops against the Marauders, though he will try not to engage them in combat, otherwise it would be Bloodaxe swords against Marauder blasters! Athena, Ares, & Bail Ohmar will lead a small force flanking the Marauders and re-take the Temple.

The plan is sound. The battle is vicious but short. Adomar keeps his men alive while distracting the Marauder troops. Athena, Ares and Bail Ohmar fight past a little resistance, but are then confronted by Marauder reinforcements led by the Dark Sider Lira Vex!

Combat ensues and Lira is viscous, lashing out with The Force, attempting to crush Ares heart! But the Marauders fall and Lira is forced back into the Temple. Giving pursuit it is discovered that a large stone block has been put in the Hype-Gate archway, rendering it inactive. But Athena, Ares and Bail are in the narrow passage way leading to he gate room. Lira Vex summons up the Dark Side and using The Force hurls the huge stone block down the passage. The block knocks out Athena, and knocks Bail and Ares off their feet. Ares is bleeding badly. Bail tells him to get out while himself dragging Athena to safety. Ares remains, blaster in hand, but Lira is not done. Using the Force she slams Ares backwards into the cave wall cracking several of his ribs in the process. Ares is coughing up blood, his vision blurred and he can hardly stand, but somehow he manages to raise his blaster and fire. Lira's evil grin is quickly removed as the blaster bolt burns a hole in her chest. She falls to the floor, not dead, but nearly.

Tetris Bloodaxe returns to the Castle with news that the Hyper-Gate is now working and her sworn enemy Lira Vex is in the Dungeon! PARTY!
