Writer’s Spotlight by Turqoiseangel I’ve decided to feature another of Alice’s stories, I hope you enjoy! Ghostly *~Prologue~*
There has always been controversy about what lies beyond the grave; if there is a spirit plain among the living that is walked upon by the dead.
There are skeptics who believe that ghosts and mythical beings are nothing but a child’s fantasy that has gone too far and poisoned the minds of the weak-minded.
Then there are those who believe in the spirits roaming the earth; some for closure and some for a more demonic purpose. Those people are called believers and there are a select few that dedicate their life to finding answers.
Why do the spirits roam in the land of the living? What are their purposes? Is there any way to aid them to the other side? These are just a few questions that are asked by the believers; but there is one question that is rarely asked.
Will the believers wish to know the answers in the end? There are some things that are kept a secret for a reason. This is a tale about two such people; one a believer and one a skeptic. Their paths crossed in the midst of a mystery that would take them both on the ride of their lives.
It all started with a house; one that held a dark secret that spanned hundreds of years. What resided there amongst the grounds was more than either side could have ever hoped for.
*~End~*

Jake MagnavoX’s Weekly In-Game Reports Ghoulish Gigs Attract Thousands of Heroes: An In-Game Report by Jake MagnavoX
Earlier this week, I had gone in game to check out what has the entire Cartoon Network Universe babbling about, and boy was it well worth the time! After two years, Dracula has decided to visit the Peach Creek Commons cul-de-sac to spice up heroes' Halloween celebrations.
However, Dracula's a little bit picky about what he has to sell the players. His inventory includes Pumpkin C.R.A.T.E.s from last year, new ones for this year, and some special Ben 10-inspired sets that help players transition into the Halloween affect. These special items can cost as much as 50,000 Taros!
Of course, the players are looking to host their own player-run events throughout October as well. Are YOU one of those people? Check out the first link at the end of this article to register your player-run event today! Visitors may also visit that link to make plans for which ones they may want to attend!
Sources also tell that the Cartoon Network Universe's leading team members are going to be planning some things for us all as well!
That's all I've got for you this week, everybody! See you next time, and I hope you enjoy the rest of today's edition of the Darklands Gazette!
The story of the Fusion Fighters- A Fusionfall fan-fiction by razorfang >>Pleased stay tuned for the next chapter<<
Mobile Suit of the Week by SFreedom
This Unit appears in the the six ep ova anime ,three years after the events of Char's Counterattack
RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (aka Unicorn Gundam, Unicorn, RX-0) is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, piloted by Banagher Links. When used for noble reasons by a pilot possessing the proper character, the RX-0 is the "key" to opening a mysterious object known only as "Laplace's Box".
Incorporating test data obtained from the experimental MSN-06S Sinanju, the entire frame is lined with psyco-frame receptors, drastically increasing the responsiveness of the unit and allowing it to be piloted like an extension of the pilot's body. In some cases, this responsiveness is so high that it appears the suit acts of its own accord without the pilot making any conscious actions. It utilizes a special "La+ Program" OS and a system known as the "NT-D (Newtype-Destroyer)", which activates the suit's psyco-frame and dramatically increases the suits performance.
In its normal mode, the Unicorn's head is similar in appearance to those of Londo Bell's mass-produced mobile suits, with the addition of a single, horn-like antenna extending from the forehead (hence the name "Unicorn"). In terms of its armaments in normal mode, the Unicorn is very lightly armed, with half of its built-in weaponry only being available in Destroy Mode.
Destroy Mode is the form the Unicorn Gundam takes when its NT-D System is activated. The transformation is marked by an expansion of the suit's frame. The armor seams separate and lock down into various hard-points, while the newly exposed psyco-frame emits a deep red glow (attributed to a psyco-frame luminescence phenomenon). In this mode, the mobile suit becomes taller and its head transforms to one having standard Gundam features, the visor and face guard transforming to reveal the mouth plate and the antenna splitting into a V-fin. In order to prevent its transformation being interrupted, its I-Field strength will be increased, at least temporary. Additionally a pair of beam Vulcan guns will be revealed on the shoulders, and two additional beam sabers will extend out of the backpack.In this form, the suit's psyco-frame scans the pilot's thoughts and directly transmits them to the suit's drive system; in other words, the Unicorn can ultimately be controlled by the pilot's thoughts alone. The machine's performance - its mobility in particular - is dramatically increased when the NT-D is active partially due to the exposure and activation of six additional thrusters. In addition to the performance boost, the NT-D also allows the Unicorn to take control of an enemy's psycommu weapons. However, the stress placed on the mind by manipulating an object more than tenfold the size of an average human is extraordinary.
Even with the aid of the psyco-frame the pilot's mind can only endure roughly five minutes of operation before a safeguard is believed to activate, deactivating the psyco-frame and returning the mobile suit to its normal form. Furthermore, the system activates not according to the pilot's discretion, but automatically upon the detection of another Newtype. The system also directs the movement of the suit when active, and does not completely depend on the pilot for commands. By default, the system will automatically attempt to destroy any Newtype enemies it detects, but requires the pilot to give it a conscience so it does not merely become a killing machine.
Armaments:
■ 60mm Vulcan Gun Housed within the head. Hobby Japan lists it as a beam vulcan gun, though standard live rounds can also be used. ■Beam Gatling Gun A manipulator-operated, Gatling-style beam weapon capable of high-rate firing. This fully automatic weapon was equipped by the Sleeves to the Unicorn when the machine escaped from Palau. Though initially incompatible when given enough time the Unicorn's OS can adapt to and recognize the beam Gatling gun. Though fully automatic the beam Gatling gun's individual shots are not as powerful as a beam rifle as they are seen to only chip away at the armor of an AMX-009 Dreissen mobile suit. The beam Gatling gun was destroyed by the funnels of the NZ-666 Kshatriya.
■ Beam Magnum A highly customized beam rifle designed with an energy condenser, and is able to match the output of large mega-particle cannons. Normally, it functions like an ordinary beam rifle but utilizes a special E-cap magazine mechanism to produce mega-particle cannon yields at the expense of an entire E-cap battery. The Unicorn is outfitted with 10 spare customized E-Pacs on the back of its skirt. ■Beam Saber The Unicorn is equipped with a total of four beams sabers. Each forearm stores a beam saber and can also be used while attached externally to the arms, a mechanism inherited from the Sinanju. In Destroy Mode, two additional beam sabers deploy from the backpack in a design reminiscent of the RX-78 Gundam. Also, while in Destroy Mode, the Unicorn is capable of generating giant beam sabers, capable of effortlessly slicing a large piece of debris clean in half. ■Hyper Bazooka Standard-issue equipment to all Earth Federation Mobile Suits. However, its length varies between Unicorn Gundam's two modes. Fed with 6-round magazines. The rounds operate differently than a normal bazooka, as they explode before making contact and release small beams on par with vulcans. ■Shield A four-petal shaped shield that houses an I-field barrier generator; the feature is operational in both Unicorn mode and Destroy mode.

System Features:
■ La+ Program A unique Operating System that slowly reveals the path to unlock Laplace's Box once certain requirements are met. The program appears to be closely tied to both the NT-D and the Unicorn's pilot. Upon reaching Laplace at midnight Greenwich Mean Time, the program will broadcast the Universal Century inauguration speech and Federation Universal Century Charter made at Laplace in UC 0001. Ultimately, according to Daguza Mackle, the true purpose of the program might actually be to serve as a guidepost to test the pilot's heart as the program itself leads the pilot to the Box. ■Newtype-Destroyer (NT-D) System
■ Newtype-Destroyer (NT-D) System
It is unknown how the NT-D System exactly works, but it is only usable in the presence of a Newtype, though it has shown to also activate in the presence of Cyber Newtypes. The Unicorn uses its internal psycoframe and scans the surrounding area for Newtype brainwaves. If a Newtype was found, the system would activate and transform the Unicorn into its Destroy Mode. In Destroy Mode, the Unicorn Gundam's abilities are greatly increased and it can move at greater speeds thanks to the exposed thrusters. The NT-D System was also designed to combat Newtype mobile suits equipped with funnels. The system can take control of a enemy's funnel/bit units and use them against the pilot. The system is also automatically activated in the presence of a Newtype, but this can be subverted by the will of the pilot. The system itself lets the pilot mentally control the unit, thus making the unit immensely responsive to the pilot's commands. However, the system itself has a timer of 5 minutes, making sure the pilot will not die of fatigue; and will also immediately shut down if the pilot is in extremely bad condition
■ Weapon Device Driver When the Unicorn aquires a new weapon, such as the Beam Gatling Gun, the weapon needs to be converted before the Unicorn can actually use it in battle. This gives Unicorn an advantage by allowing it to use any weapon it can obtain, on the battlefield, without the need to return to the mothership for configuring.
