Hostages of Trazibar Story

I'm completely done the first quarter of the conclusion, so that's good. I'm still filming the rest, but I'm taking the pics out of order (like one whole scene then another), since these final scenes are so long and elaborate. I'm not sure how this will go, especially when it comes time to edit them. It could be faster or slower, I'm not sure yet. But anyway, even though I'm almost done school, I've still got a bunch of tests coming up, so I probably won't have a whole lot of free time to complete this in May. Therefore, I'm still looking at it being done and released sometime in June. BTW, this conclusion is utterly enormous; I won't say how long, but let's just say it's massive. I've also made a new poll. Hopefully some of you are watching this, so the poll isn't pointless.

There's a lot going on in this story, so hopefully it should never get boring.

That and TRMS

Bittersweet news: the end is almost here. Like I stated earlier, I'll be ending all series/game story related stuff with the conclusion of HOT, so much will be left unexplained (whether or not I reveal most of my cancelled future plans remains to be determined). Anyway, filming is all done and now I just need to edit some more pictures, but I'm hoping to complete it this week. Once it's all done, then I'll release the rest of it (days 5-8) at a most likely weekly period. Please make sure to catch up, since this is my last thing and I've spent over a year working on it to try and make it as good as I can. I promise that despite this entire story being so massive, it will be worth it. Watching/reading this would mean a lot to me.

Everything is now completed! The "second half" of HOT is now ready to be released. Here are the release dates for each part:



I'm skipping Friday the 3rd because I'll be away then and most likely wouldn't have the time to get it up. But it's not a big deal considering this is the last thing for me. I hope those who pay attention to the series board will catch up on this and be able to finish it out with me. I know this feels like it has taken forever, but it was a lot of work getting it all done. The entire HOT story took me a little over a year to make and is roughly 60,000 words and over 4,000 pictures, so that gives you an idea of how much it is. There will be some trivia for each part (I've tried to make it shorter than the previous ones) and I may decide to post some info on things that may have occurred later on. I hope you all enjoy it when it's been completely released.

It's a little late, but here is Day 6: Rising Tensions!

As always, links to individual sections of each day (intro, voting, conclusion) are available in the main post.

Day 4: Splitting the Last Hope


• Battery packs are what are keeping some of the droids operating so long, since that was a minor plot hole in part 1 of the prologue, and this is the reason/excuse.
• Captain Falgo is contacted by Razorg mentally during the night, and there Razorg discovers immediately that the prisoner has escaped from the Tower of Belafona.
• Falgo tries to make up for his mistake by informing Razorg of the off-worlders he found. Razorg then gives Falgo one last chance to redeem himself. If the off-worlders he found are not aligned with the ones helping the rebels, Falgo’s still useful as well as those with him. If not, he’ll die. Razorg will contact him the next night for an answer.
• Also during this telepathic conversation, Falgo informs Razorg of Barst, Bane, and Reik along with Silver Fang and how they caused him to lose the prisoner. Razorg decides he’ll ask if any of his servants have heard of these mercenaries and bounty hunters since they sound powerful. He especially thinks that the name Barst is familiar, also hinting at how Barst is important in the grand scheme of things like Zachary has spoken before.
• Commander Storm and Oliver talk about their pasts with one another. Storm’s story was about fighting on a planet where the natives would kill them in brutal ways, and he hated seeing his brothers be lost during that battle especially.
• Oliver’s past was linked to Cyoreia and Lord Suglaram, showing that just how Peter’s life had been changed by Lord Ottaratop, the same had occurred with Oliver, but with another servant of Razorg’s.
• In part 2 of the prologue, part of Oliver’s initial description was that his eyes had a look of sadness to them (his figure does too). This is the reason for that.
• Silver Fang and the forces of Cyoreia accompanying them run into the rebel group chasing after Ottaraatop, and they fight. In the end, they have to split in half, like the title of the day suggests. Silver Fang goes after the half led by Zachary while the forces of Cyoreia stay and fight Bartholomew’s half. The two halves plan to rejoin outside the walls of Murtagro and go from there.
• At the start of the conclusion to day 4, one of the orcs fighting Bartholomew’s half realizes that they’re all going to die, so he decides to run to Murtagro to warn Lord Ottaratop that the rebels are still chasing him. It just so happens that this orc is the same one that delivered the message to Lord Suglaram from Ottaratop in the first place.
• Zachary’s half managed to evade Silver Fang, adding to the losses the bounty hunter group has been having recently.
