Who can participate?:[/b] [Anyone]

Quest Time Frame (How long it takes):[/b] [Time will be wibbly wobbly]

Quest Setting (NDE/DE):[/b] [NDE]

Quest Synopsis:[/b] [From beyond the stars and out of the bowels of the Great Celestial War itself came two Generals. A King of Time and a King of Space. These two Lords found themselves in the Land of the Living, a place of rich culture, and more importantly, warriors both present and future. Gathering up armies out of time and space, and setting up a giant chess board at a converted Pacific Trench, the two plan to do battle. The massive spiritual energy can be felt or detected from anywhere in the universe, and these Generals would be more than willing to recruit or accept any sort of fighters for their vicious game.

Maximum Number of Participants:[/b] NONE

Overall Goal:[/b] [Win at chess]

Number of missions involved:[/b] [5] (Side Quests Not Included)

BASIC Synopsis of each Quest mission:[/b]

Stage One: The Herald. A Herald has been sent to all of the major areas of the universe. It calls for warriors of all groups to unite under one banner, of a King. The Kings of Time and Space both call for warriors to replace the ones that they have selected from Time and Space, as both Kings know that power has been amassing of late in the Land of the Living, the Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo. No set Difficulty, social Quest

Stage Two: The First Board. The warriors have been gathered for the first game, a simple board of chess. The special rules and fighters are, however, far from simple. Hard Difficulty

Stage Three: The Second Board With the First Board conquered for either side, the players are refreshed for a less traditional board. It has terrain and other obstacles, which make it more fun for the Generals. More fighters may be added, but some may also be removed. Hard Difficulty

Stage Four: The Generals Board. With the Second Board resulting in a fun match, the Generals have decided that it is time for the final match. They themselves will be the King pieces instead of a warrior from Time and Space. Hard-Extreme Difficulty.

Stage Five: The Clean Board. With the traditional chess over, the Kings wipe the slate clean and have a direct battle. Their armies may participate if they wish, battling among themselves or supporting/attacking a King. Easy-Extreme Difficulty (whether or not you get involved in the King Fight)

Recommended Class for entry:[/b] ANY

Special Notes:[/b] This will be a massive thread. The rules of the unique game of chess will be explained each time, but overall rules are simple. When two RPCs meet on the face of battle, there will be a cinematic fade to black. The chess game can go on around them, but they will have their PvP in the proper zone then the victor will be returned to the face of the battle. Another thing. Unless you have a specialized item, or find a specialized location, reiatsu and damage will not be fixed in between battles. Characters are free to use War Strategy in unique ways, and are encouraged to do so if they succeed in interviewing for a High Ranked Piece. Pawns, obviously, can not order around officer class pieces. I will be the Space King, Clock will be the Time King. For the first round at least.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

The Great Celestial War... The forces of Time and Space, revered as the Holy Elements by both warring sides has been going on since Time and Space were first formed. Over the years, the younger brother Time had fought with the older brother Space for dominion of the universe. Space occupied three dimensions, and Time only occupied one, though the one that it did control was considered of more raw potential than each of Space's individual dimensions. Combined, Space was always more powerful and always defeated his younger brother in combat. But Time was vengeful, and strong. He kept returning to the face of battle to try and kill his older brother. Their clashes brought order and form to the universe and started the Land of the Living on its path to having sentient life.

When the Land of the Living started to form potentially strong beings, Time began to hatch a plan. Working in the future and in the present, he gathered an army and marched upon the grand palace of Space. Feeling threatened, Space gathered up all of the powerful life forms currently on the planet and recruited them forcibly to his Army. But Time had the advantage. Gathering many different warriors from all time periods had allowed him to gather troops that were more advanced than the primitive warriors of Space. Feeling cornered, Space stole some of Time's troops for himself and banished the both of them to the Heavens. There, the battle consistently devolved into theft of warriors from Space's past, and Time's present, and so much confusion was caused and energy released that the stars were born. Every star visible from the Land of the Living was a set of explosions from Time and Space paradoxes that were rippling through the armies.

One day, two Generals, one from each army, were displaced from the Time and Space locked battlefield by a simultaneous attempt to both steal the other and protect the first. The resulting anomaly thrust the two into the Land of the Living, where they awoke. Having fed upon the energies of Time and Space for eons, they were stronger than anything the world had ever seen. Locking themselves in the Pacific Trench for the World's safety, they sent Heralds formed of their own essence to all of the major hubs of reiatsu. They went to Hell, the Land of the Living in many places, the Seireitei, and Hueco Mundo. The Space King sent his troops through portals that led them directly to each major hub. The message that his heralds spoke were always the same. "The King of Space is recruiting for the most prestigious battlegrounds in the universe. The most powerful warriors from all across the galaxy and beyond will be participating in this grand game of chess on a massive scale. Step up and be recruited as a Pawn, or stand to the side and recruit for officer positions. Honor, Glory, and Riches await you."

A drift had opened in the Pacific Trench, power flowed out and a Herald was born. Past, Present, Future, all meant nothing to the Time King. The Time King, General of the Time God, the Loyal servant Given Life, Given Power by his God had been sent to the Land of the Living after the battle with the Space God's General. Locked in the trench he sent three Heralds into the parts of Time needed for powerful troops. Past, Present and Future will connect into a single battle.

All three of them dressed in futuristic attire, their faces covered in a grand black opaque dome, their robes colored blue and black. A single black clock on their backs, they spoke of a single message. "The Time King has offered his hands to the strongest of warriors! Time has always been against you! Aging your loved ones! Aging YOU. You can not escape the hands of Time for we will all age and decay into nothingness, but fear not. The extension of Time's hand has allowed us to offer you a prize. Serve him, become his Soldiers, his Officers, the leaders of his army. Time will offer you a single reward, Immortality, he will offer your loved one's Immortality as well. You will no longer cease to Age, your bodies will not become ravaged by time, your minds will not become sick of living for so long. You will become a part of time itself! Power beyond your wildest imaginations!" this was the most tempting offer that Time had.

For riches lasted a while, Time would of destroyed any riches they had, the winners would age into nothingness wile he could save them from Death. Space was ever expanding, Time was never ending. Time never ends, Space has to stop somewhere. The herald extended his hands to whomever accepted. "You will participate in a game of Chess! A Massive Scale Battle Field that you will conquer! Become the Pawns, the soldiers of Time, or go for the leaders, the commanders of temporal rifts! Time is malleable!! You will be able to show power over Space! Immortality! Power! A New Life Awaits you! You will be forever Immortalized!"

[Taien Hadohou]

It was another seemingly normal day in the Seireitei. Of course, the phrase 'seemingly normal' sort of lost credit when it was applied to a society of spirit purifying ghost swordsmen. Taien Hadohou, Vice-Commander of the Kidou Corps, was having a fairly good day so far. He'd finished the rest of the paperwork off that he'd been given for the day, and he had supervised the non-seats of the Corps in their daily training. They really were improving, more and more of them were able to show up to Kidou Sparring each day. Grinning at the thought, Taien breathed in deeply and let it out in a long contented sigh.

However, peace rarely lasted for very long in the Seireitei these days. A massive surge of power radiated outward from somewhere nearby. Blinking and staggering a bit, Taien turned towards the origin point of the energy. He had no idea what it was, but it was freaking massive! It dwarfed even that of the Captains, maybe even the Captain Commander! Was it the Vandenreich? Had the Emperor come to end it? Or was this something new?

Taien shrugged, and dashed off towards the source. Whether it was an enemy or not, he needed to be there, to help beat off an assault or otherwise. What could possess this kind of power? Taien's grin was growing every second as he tried to imagine what could produce such power. Even his own not inconsiderable powers were a pittance before the power radiating outwards. It wasn't long before Taien came in sight of the... What was that?

"The King of Space is recruiting for the most prestigious battlegrounds in the universe. The most powerful warriors from all across the galaxy and beyond will be participating in this grand game of chess on a massive scale. Step up and be recruited as a Pawn, or stand to the side and recruit for officer positions. Honor, Glory, and Riches await you."

Blinking, Taien thought about it for a moment, and came to a conclusion. It sounded like it was going to be fun! He stepped forwards.

"I suppose I'll try for an Officer's position. Taien Hadohou, Vice-Commander of the Kidou Corps, at your service. I am the second in command of our Corps, I lead the men in training and in battle along with my Commander, I posses both an analytical eye and a sharp mind."

Taien stopped for a moment before resuming.

"I have battled and trained with some of the strongest people in this world, and I have trained my own Commander before he became my Commander. I also posses a not inconsiderable amount of power."

Smiling as he finished, Taien asked a question.

"Do you require a demonstration, or will that suffice?"

Taien waited for the being's response.

Items

Item Name: F.O.R.M Prototype: Overwatch

Item Type: Time Piece/Defensive Instrament

Item Description: A fairly nice looking watch at first glance. Its completely black, save for the hands and the numbers. The hands and numbers are crimson red on the right half while the other half is sky blue. Normally all it does is tell time. However, with a press of a button, the watch takes creates a four foot purple circle of energy a foot from the surface of the watch. The circle of Reiatsu has a strength of 400, and deflects anything with lower Reiatsu strength than 400. The watch has four uses, and takes five posts to "reset". A second button on the other side of the clock face allows the strength to go up to eight hundred for one use, but it burns the energy in the watch out for a while, taking twice as long to recharge. As this is a prototype, there are some things wrong with it. While the watch could be used in succession, it overheats the circutry, causing it to burn out. As such, there is a two post gap between uses, otherwise the watch really will break. More advanced models will have it corrected, but until then, it breaks even once overused. It takes a Class 3 person to actually be able to use this watch's battle function.

OOC: Reserving slot in Time Army; Officer Position (Rook)

Thunder rumbled through the dark ominous storm clouds gathering on the horizon as the assembled forces of the Shinigami prepared themselves for an assault on Hueco Mundo, and the object of their mission - the accursed Hogyouku. Arrayed in three strike teams before the fluctuating and unstable Gartanta, each officer mentally prepared themselves for the mission at hand.

Due to the extreme shortage of capable officers, the three ranking officers of the Kidou Corps had each volunteered to be part of this mission. Their commander, Kyomei Kuchiki had chosen to join the primary strike team, and lead the assault on Hueco Mundo's champions, while his two ranking subordinates Taien Hadohou and Yuki Kaname had each volunteered to be part of the distraction team. Dressed in a customized black Shikakushō, decorated with lavender trim and copper accents, Yuki studied the Garganta critically while awaiting the order to launch the offensive.

Hmm... she thought.
While an impressive feat to say the least, I sincerely hope this thing doesn't collapse before we reach Los Noches, let alone it staying open long enough for us to make a return trip.

Frowning at the thought, Yuki instead turned her head to critique the assemblage of her peers before her and was immediately impressed by those she saw gathered. Not pulling any punches with this mission are we? At least that should give us a fighting chance although I sincerely hope this mission won't be a cakewalk though. I've heard the arrancar are extremely capable, and unique hollows.... Any one of them would make for an interesting opponent, so here's hoping that at least some of them are home to welcome us gatecrashers.....

Smiling ruefully at the irony of her unintended humor, Yuki psyched herself for the oncoming battle... Oh please let this be fun..... she thought as she grew restless for the order to be given.

Convinced that she was hallucinating, Yuki was momentarily caught off guard as three garishly dressed figures materialized before the Garganta. Dressed in futuristic black robes trimmed in blue, and shielding their faces behind opaque black masks, the three figures walked slowly and methodically towards the shocked shinigami, with each foostep taken in simultaneous synchronization with the steps of their peers. Turning her body in profile to the oncoming strangers, Yuki took up a defensive stance and, with one fluid and graceful maneuver, Yuki drew her zanpakutou in her left hand, and displayed it before her in a guarded, and wary grip; the name of a defensive kidou already forming on her lips.

Stopping a few meters away, seemingly without concern for the hostile welcome, the three masked figures raised their hands in unison and spoke as one. "Relax Kaname-san. The Time King offers his hands to the strongest warriors. Time has always been against you, aging your loved ones and aging you itself. You cannot escape the hands of Time for we will all age and decay into nothingness, but fear not. The extension of Time's hand has allowed us to offer you, Yuki Kaname a prize. Serve him as one of his officers and help lead his armies against his enemy, the Lord of Space, and Time will offer you a reward: Immortality, for you and your loved ones."

If the appearance of three mysterious figures was not threatening enough, a momentary glance about her revealed that all her fellow officers appeared frozen in place, or more accurately... frozen in time based on the fact that they appeared to be caught in a surreal still-life of the moments leading up to the assault. Caught in a moment between moments, each was frozen in a statuesque pose, some in mid-sentence, some in mid action. Realizing she was out-classed, and had no chance of defeating these figures should combat errupt, Yuki relaxed her stance and lowered her blade, but kept it in hand lest she be forced to defend herself in a losing battle.

"If what you say is true, what need would you have of me when almost any of my fellow officers are more powerful than I; or... for that matter, why come to me now and not when I have reached the heights of my potential? I have only just been promoted to Third Seat, and while an achievement.... I have yet to even attain Bankai let alone what I might be capable of in two, four, or even a dozen centuries from now. Wait..... does this mean that I die on this mission and that this is the final moments of my life? Is that why you have chosen me now, and not some time in my future?"

Waiting patiently for Yuki to finish her questioning, the expressionless masks gave no encouragement to the increasingly suspicious officer. When at last it appeared that Yuki had finished her line of thought, they responded simultaneously, their three voices meshing together eerily into a single resonate voice."Nothing of the sort. From your limited, linear experience, you have and will be approached several times in your "Future", however from our perspective, we are simply approaching you in multiple time-frames at once. We find it interesting that you consider time in such a finite and limited fashion, and that while we are talking to you "Now", in each instance... you have asked similar questions. Time is relative, and it is all now."

If they have already approached me in the future, then they must already know what my answer is going to be? If that is the case, why do they bother making me this offer in they know the answer to begin with? mused Yuki as she contemplated their cryptic response. Just as she was about to question them along this line of reasoning, they continued speaking. "The future as you understand it is but a potentiality from your present point, however from our perspective, it is all Now. As such, while we can assume with a great deal of accuracy that you are probably wondering why we make you this offer, and may be questioning whether your answer has already been pre-determined, and pre-destined, know that we are incapable of knowing which possible future you will choose in any given moment. As such, the choice remains yours whether to accept our offer, or decline."

Realizing that these cryptic figures meant her no harm, Yuki sheathed her zanpakutou, and relaxed her guarded stance while she contemplated their convoluted words that caused her brain to ache with confusion. "Before I agree to anything, I need to know what you need from me specifically. You mentioned leading an army against the Lord of Space? With your pick of generals from anywhere (or is that anywhen) in time, what need do you have of me specifically?"

"Should you accept our offer, you will participate in a game of Chess! A massive scale Battle Field that you will conquer! You and your fellow chosen will become the pawns, the soldiers of Time, or become the leaders, the commanders of temporal rifts! Time is malleable. You will be able to show power over Space! Immortality! Power! A new life awaits........" ........"I don't need the sales pitch, so you can skip it. A game of chess hmm...You guys went to a lot of trouble for a game of chess, but I'm guessing that, if the power you are displaying now is anything to go by, this won't be any ordinary board game..... Sounds like fun. I accept. I've seen the movies. Just remember to bring me back to this exact moment in time as I have an important mission to complete once we are finished."

"As you wish. If you would be so kind as to follow us, we will take you to the staging area, where you will be informed how this game will proceed." Turning about face, the three figures walked slowly toward the Garganta expecting their recruited officer to follow. The closer they approached the shimmering black portal, the more their forms began to fade, and dematerialize in front of her. Shrugging her shoulders, and thinking to herself that nobody will believe her story when she returns, Yuki followed the three figures into the unknown.
