A snippet thread, for stray ideas nothing much but hey! If people will like some of them, then there might be some new stories made from them in the future.
Never anger a Scottish Highlander
A.N.: A intro for a Highlander/PMMM crossover idea I had.
His name is Ewan Macleod, born in 1639, in the Highlands of Scotland and yet he still lives to this day. He is Immortal and through the 375 years he lived many lives.

He was explorer, freedom fighter, savior, researcher, husband and a father and many others.


Scenes of Ewan accompanying René-Robert Cavelier in his journey through Mississippi river, fighting in American revolution on in blue revolutionary uniform, providing sniper cover during storming of a concentrations camp in world war II, assisting with some chemical research, celebrating with everyone in control room as Eagle lender touches down on the moon, kissing his adoptive daughter forehead as she goes to bed.

He is not alone, there are many others like him. A confrontation between two Immortals almost always ends with one losing their head and power to the other.

Scenes of Ewan fighting other immortals throughout history chopping the head of a one and receiving Quickening.

I am a Watcher. Member of a group, dedicated to documenting the lives of Immortals. Always watching, but never interfering. And in all the time, I observed Ewan I saw he is not like others.

Ewan stands before defeated Immortal hands on the blade before stowing it and walking away, levering the other Immortal confused.

He does not participate in the Game and only takes lives of other Immortals, if they leave him no other choice. For on the day he become Immortal, a creature not of this world run afoul of him and took his sister's soul.

Ewan finds Sophie In her magical girl garb, she witches out, her witch kills him. He watches as another magical girl defeats Sophie's witch cleanses her Soul gem with Sophie's, Grief seed and then Kyubey consumes the grief seed coursing Ewan to scream in despair.

He swore on his family's name, that he will use his immortal life to seek vengeance upon the creature who took her away.

We see Kyubey enter a building in the Baroque era, only for Ewan to set it on fire burning it's body. It's observing an Indian girl in 1800's before an arrow pierces it's skull and we see Ewan lowering a bow. During World War II It's approaching a Jewish girl before a sniper shot splatters it's body and Ewan reloads his rifle. In 1990's It stars to approach Ewan's daughter before he runs it over with pickup truck.

He will never stop seeking the creature until he's head is taken of his shoulders. Yet he might not be able to stay out of the Game for much longer, for the Time of the Gathering is approaching and in the end, there can be only One.

I hope it will be you, Highlander.

OPAS Behemoth


Holden and Naomi were rounding the corner to the Behemoth's CIC when a hail of bullets forced them to cover behind the corner.

"Do we have a target lock on the Ring, yet?" Ashford barked out to one of the stations.

"Almost there!" the crewman replied.

Holden knew that they have to stop Ashford from firing the laser at the Sol Ring because if they didn't the Slow Zone's defense system would end humanity, but how? How could they do it without ending up as bullet sponges? How…

He looked at his gun as an idea come to mind. The very same idea that they wore using to convince the security system that they are not a threat. Maybe just maybe not fighting is the solution.

He looked at Naomi and solemnly said "I love you." Before tossing the gun around the corner.

"We're unarmed!" He cried out to the guards "Don't shoot! We're coming out!" He said before he and Naomi raised their hands in a sign of surrender and rounded the corner. The guard held their fire as Ashford looked at them with a sneer.

Around the Behemot ships started to shut down their reactors after the coll from Rocinante. Their captains choosing to trust Holden over Ashford.

As Holden and Naomi approached the entrance to CIC Holden began to speak to Ashford.

"I know. You're trying to save lives. I am too!" He said trig to appeal to Ashford. "But we're on the brink right now, because we keep reacting to things we don't understand!" He continued as they approached the door. "We're scared, we're hurt, and we're reaching for violence because we can't figure out what to do. But just this once, can't we try something else?" He asked begging Ashford to reconsider only for him to look down at the firing console on the command table.

"Ashford, you know me!"Naomi called out getting Ashford attention. "I stopped following fanatics a long time ago." She begged.

Ashford looked down at the console accepting the firing solution for the laser and then coldly ordered.

"Shoot them!" The guards aimed at Holden and Naomi. Was this it?

A yell from behind Ashford was heard as Clarissa throw a guard away from her and across the room before diving quickly toward Ashford tackling him into the table and momentarily knocking him out. That was all she needed as she leaped towards the power relay box just as the guards turned around and started to fire at her. She retched the box and took out the top power module before twisting it around. Just then a bullet hit her on the side causing her to grunt from pain but it came too late as she inserted the module back in causing a chain reaction that caused complete power shutdown on the Behemoth.

There was a moment as everything was covered in darkness. Then one by one, the ships started being released from the hold of the station in the center of the slow zone.

As power returned to the Behemoth and Holden and Naomi entered CIC and saw on the monitor the feed from the external cameras showing newly freed ships. And then another Ring appeared and another and another.

"I guess it worked." Holden said.

???

On a world that was saved from extinction a pair of young dragons one purple and one black were staring at the night sky. Then the black one noticed something appearing by one of the moons before pointing it out for her companion causing him to look that way. The pair looked on at the strange ring that appeared by the moon.

???

On a world with a broken moon, an astronomer was looking towards the stars when suddenly a ring appeared from nowhere and inside of it he saw strange blue space. He called out for his colleagues and asked for someone to call the General.

???

On a world of incredible creatures, some of those creatures sensed that something changed and stoped anything they were doing before looking up toward space concerning many of their trainers. This would soon spark a heated debate in the scientific community about what caused it.

???

On a world that was made whole, a warrior of Ice used his Kanohi mask to look toward a distant spot in space.

???

On a world of magic, a young alicorn princess looked towards the starry night thro her telescope as she suddenly saw something that looked like a ring pop out of nowhere in the distance.

Slow Zone

As the human ships burned for the Sol Ring no one on board knew just what they will find when they venture beyond the ring gates. But Holden know that he and the crew of Rocinante will be in the middle of it. After all, Miller still needed a ride to figure out what happened to the Ring Builders.
