So, the Carters vanish. POOF!!!! And they're gone!!!!! And then Buddy walks up and slaps you on the back and says "It's okay now!!! Things will get better."

And then you're waking up. You feel different. Not yourself. More animated, as it were. Your clothes feel different. Like you're wearing something else entirely. It feels more silky and smooth. You feel that your Chaos Katana is in your left hand, and your Ordered blacksmithing hammer is in your right. How could this be? It was miles away. But it is.

And you hear a crowd of people cheering "Tad-e-usz!!! Tad-e-usz!!!" It's the kind of thing you might expect to hear at a baseball game for a star player. Or perhaps at a cage fight. Rooting for the hero.

And you haven't opened your eyes yet.

Breathe..........................................................curiousity and worry and self regard overwhelm shock for a moment...open my eyes a crack.

OOC)For this post, I am going to take complete and total control over your character's actions. There is a perfectly valid story reason for this. I assure you, your character will neither be harmed, nor harm anyone else, regardless of what you might be thinking. I am only going to do this once without your consent. (Although you will probably consent to it later.) Also, you will have a whole boatload of new skills when I'm finished. So just roll with it for a minute.

Amid the cheering and screaming, you hear another voice. Mechanical in nature. It's saying "QUARTER ALERT. QUARTER ALERT."

And then you spring to your feet, energized and ready for action. Looking in front of you (Which is the only way you can currently turn your head to look) you see a cartoonish landscape, like something out of a video game. You're looking at a stage. There's a whole stadium of spectators cheering "Tad-e-usz!!! Tad-e-usz!!!" And you're facing a cartoon warrior. A ninja or samurai. He's got a pair of hatchets in his hands. Then a voice comes out of nowhere and says "Stage One." The opposing warrior moves towards you. You jump up into the air. Perhaps 20-25 feet. You bring your blacksmithing hammer down onto his face. Blood flies and then disappears. He slashes at you with a hatchet. You feel an impact, you see blood leave your body, but you feel absolutely no pain. Just an impact. It doesn't hurt at all though. Then you spin around and slash at him viciously with the Katana in your left hand. More blood leaves your opponent's body. Then his body flashes twice and disappears. There's a door in front of you. You batter it open with your blacksmithing hammer.

You are now in a hallway. Coming at you are a dozen similar warriors to the one you just defeated. You pulls back your blacksmithing hammer. You see a large black ball of Order energy form around it. Then you make a throwing gesture. A block of ice comes off of your hammer and impacts the first guy coming at you. He flashes twice and disappears. You pull back the Katana. This time, it's enveloped by a white aura. And you make a throwing gesture. A large, bright fireball shoots off of it and impacts the next guy. His body bursts into flames, and then flashes twice and disappears.

Then you run forward full tilt, swinging both weapons wildly. You plow through the first 3 or 4 guys like a lawnmower. They flash twice and disappear. Then one of them hits you. Then you cease to exist for a moment. But then the world is back. For about 5 seconds, you see the world flashing. And for that 5 seconds, you feel powerful. Like nothing could hurt you. And you plow through the remaining guys. And you reach another door. Bashing it open, you hear a voice say "Stage One Complete."

You are now standing in a spaceship hangar. And again, it is animated like a cartoon. You run over to one of the ships and get inside. Setting your weapons down in the seat next to you, you start the spaceship. You see through the view screen outer space as the ship takes off. Then a bunch of ships are coming at you. You fire the ship's weapons at them. They flash twice and disappear. Then one of them fires at you. You see the ship explode from the inside. You're engulfed in a fireball. But it doesn't hurt a bit. You just feel impacts. Then you cease to exist. And you come back. For five seconds, the world is flashing around you. And you feel invulnerable. You fire the ship's weapons at more ships coming at you, and they flash and disappear. You're flying like an ace. Like you've been doing this all your life. It's natural to you. You shoot down dozens of ships which all flash and disappear. And then you're facing a monstrosity of a ship. It's like the Death Star and the Battle Star Galactica had a baby. And it is ugly. You fire the ship's weapons at it, and you see you're causing it damage. But just not enough. It fires an energy weapon at you. Again, the ship explodes in a fireball. This time though, there's no flashing. You just cease to exist.

From nowhere, or perhaps from everywhere, you hear a male voice say "Man, Tadeusz rules!!!!"

And then you're looking at yourself. An animated, cartoon version of yourself. He's dressed in a silky ninja type of outfit. And he says "Good work Tadeusz Two!!"

And you have the following new skills.

1@1 Great Jump
1@1 Order Ice Attack
1@1 Chaos Flame Attack
1@1 Pilot Spaceship
1@1 Weapon Dependent martial art, using Katana and Blacksmithing hammer. B7@1
Fast-aggressive.
Attack Multiplier: 2.
