This is a story I had on the LMBs. I will be changing it slightly (spelling errors and such) so bear with me if you remember it.
Razar. King of Profit. by Torahvision
"A box of what?!" I asked, still not convinced that a 'Box of Nothing' was valuable. "You see, it is nothing and you don't have nothing!" Eris continued her attempt to persuade me into the deal. I still thought it was some kind of scam. I glared at her sternly, "Do you know how stupid you sound, my friend?" I was genuinely trying to aid Eris in retrieving her brains. "Let's discuss it." Razcal squeaked. We all huddled in a group around him, shooting glances back at Laval and Eris every now and then. "I don't buy it." I whispered hoarsely. "Yeah, but we don't have it!" Rizzo cried quietly. Rawzom cleared his throat, "We stole Laval's speedor anyway. By trading it back to him, we lose nothing and gain nothing." He smiled wisely. It made sense to me, so I agreed, "Ok, your mistake." We broke the huddle and returned to our customers. "Alright, we'll trade." I snarled, as much as a bird can snarl through a beak. Laval smiled smugly. "Good! Can we, uh, get it now?" Laval asked anxiously. "Why, of course you can." I replied slowly. We made the exchange and Laval left with his little pet eagle close behind him. I turned to my group. "Rawlin! Ripnik!" Two ravens landed in front of me and saluted. I lowered my voice, "Initiate apprehension of Golden Chi." "Why don't we keep it for ourselves?" Rawlin wondered aloud. "No questions, that's my policy. Now move!" The ravens saluted once more and flew off in the direction of the Golden Chi. After they had gone, my eyes landed on a bumbling Rogon. My best sucker, err, customer around. I approached him with expert salesmen tactics. "Ello Rogon." I greeted sweetly. "Duh... eh low." He grunted as he acknowledged my presence. "Are you in a risk taking mood today? Most all Rhinos in a survey of Chima have said 'yes.'" I prepared to trap him in a clever ploy. "Yah, sure." He smiled mindlessly, continuing to walk. "Well, how does this 'Box of Nothing' sound to you?" "Like... uh... nuthin?" "Exactly! And that's something you don't have, yes?" "Uh huh." "So what would you like to trade for it?" "I don know. What ya want?" "How about those three speedors there?" "Sure!" He snatched the box from my hands, shook them vigorously and ran off. I grinned happily and began parking the three speedors by our shop. Rawzom stepped over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Rawlin, you truly are the King of Profit." I turned and grinned. "Thank you, my friend. What a compliment."
That is the first piece of my story. I hope you enjoyed it. Don't worry, there's more to come.
Rawlin landed in front of me, breathing heavily with fear, "The Lions... they're right on our tail." He gasped and handed be a satchel. I opened it and met a bright gold light. It was the Golden Chi. I glanced up at him, "Well done, my friends." I smiled proudly. "Go! Ripnik's been captured!" Rawlin pushed me toward our parked Raiders. "I'll distract them!" To my surprise, a Lion leapt around the corner. "Gotcha!" He lunged at Rawlin only to have his legs swept from under him and a chi pulsorz blast fired into his chest. I gasped in shock. Rawlin looked up at me very seriously. "Git!" He pulled another Snypax blaster from his hip and charged around the corner. I could hear pulsor blasts in rapid succession as he battled it out with the Lions. Fear gripped me as I saw some other blasts land in the sand in front of me. The satchel fell from my talons, causing the orb to roll out. I quickly seized the orb off the floor with my bare talons and raced for the Raider. "He doesn't have it!" I heard a lion growl behind the corner. After a shuffle of paws, I caught sight of the lions in the corner of my eye. "There he is!" I leapt off the ground and glided up into my Raider. I pulled a small pulsorz pistol out of one of my pouches and fired at a Lion, missing. He ducked for cover giving me enough time to ignite my vehicle. It roared, lifting off the ground. It intercepted multiple Lion blasts from the ground. I manned my Raider's pulsor cannon and fired at the Lions. Again, they ducked for cover. I used the stall in the pursuit to head into the sky. "Whew... that was close." I wiped a sweat drop from my forehead. I still had the orb held tightly to my body for safety. The monotonous drone of the Raider's engine soothed my nerves. I couldn't return to the Ravens just yet because the Lions would head over there as fast as they could. Where could I go? I shook myself awake as I noticed the plane duck down. "Whoa!" I was really tired... why? Maybe it was due to all the excitement. I felt my head nod again. Shaking my head, I tightened my grip on the controls. "RAZAR!" Someone yelled. I jerked up on the controls. Zooming upward, I regained control over my aircraft and steadied it. I looked to the left where I had heard the voice, to see who was beside me. My eyes were met with a strange version of Rawzom. He wore an unnatural red suit with a red... no orange orb in his Chi harness. The air was colder too, not as warm as it had been a minute ago. I glanced down at my arm and realized that I was still holding the Golden Chi orb.

I glanced down at my arm and realized that I was still holding the Golden Chi orb.
What's this? A time warp or something? I demand answers! MOOOOOOOAR!!!!!!
I looked up from the orb and stared in disbelief at my raven colleague dressed as some strange Outlandish flower. "Pull up!" He cried as I felt myself begin to dip down. Jerking hard on the stick, I leveled off again alongside him. I put my beak close to the intercom. "Where... are we?" "We're goin' to Cavora for a Fire Chi pickup." The speaker garbled his voice pretty bad. I must've heard something wrong. I pressed the button again, "Did you say... Fire Chi?" "Duh. What else did you think we were going to use against the Ice Tribes?" "ICE TRIBES!" I squealed in shock. "What dimension have I come to?" I threw my head into the seat's head rest. Glancing over at Rawzom's Raider, I noticed more orange and red accents throughout his Raider. "Fire Chi...?" I mused softly to myself. "Snap out of it, Razar!" Rawzom shouted. I decided I would play along for time being and attempt to learn what was going on before I made any moves. It suddenly hit me that Rawzom had said we were 'going to Cavora.' Wasn't there a force field around Cavora? I turned to Rawzom again. "What'll we do about the force field?" It seemed to take Rawzom a bit of thinking before he understood what I meant. "Oh, that! Remember? It's been taken away since the Phoenix arrived." Phoenix? What the brick were Phoenix? We finally arrived close to Mt. Cavora. There was a large, glorious Temple perched atop it. With my sharp raven eyesight, I could make out three majestic fire birds coming out to greet our arrival. I found that my jaw had somehow dropped so I quickly closed my mouth. After landing, Rawzom and I glided up the stairs to meet the Fire Birds. The first Fire Bird, evidently the leader, opened his mouth to speak. "Hello, Ravens." His voice resounded throughout my body, making every joint shake. "Hello." I had to maintain my strong businesslike reputation. "I am Razar and this is my colleague, Rawzom. We've come here for a... Fire Chi pickup?" I reached out with my left hand to shake his. He just stood there, mindlessly staring at me like I was a buffoon. "What?" "You, do not wear Fire Chi garment that we gave to you?" "Oh, it was itching a little on the back, so I decided to wear my old... inferior garments today." I smiled weakly, attempting to cover the lie. "Very well. Just be careful not to run into Hunters in those clothes." Completely ignoring my outstretched hand, he walked back toward the Temple. "Here is your Chi." I noticed Rawzom gesture for some of the Ravens who'd followed us to come and help out of the corner of my eye. I rubbed my hands together in anticipation. "Fire Chi... can't wait to see what the deal is with it..." I murmured quietly to myself. The Fire Bird, or "Phoenix", pulled a blanket off a crate. "There you are. Use it well, use it wisely." "Lagravis?" I wondered a bit too loud. The Phoenix smirked. "No. I am not Lagravis. I do believe I've already introduced myself to you. My name is, Phluminox." "Oh. That's a crackerjack of a name." I smiled playfully as his face fell into a scowl. *gulp* The ravens loaded the crate into one of the Raiders. "Time to go." Rawzom prodded, intruding into the awkward stare down. "Bye bye..." I waved slightly and followed Rawzom down the stairs. "That guy was a real skunk." "No, he's a Phoenix." Rawlin grunted in response. "Gah! I know that. It was just an expression." He suddenly turned around. "I swear I saw you wearing your Fire Suit before we left." "Yeah, um, I changed on the way here." "How? There was only you on the plane as the pilot." "I'm... Razar... heh heh... I can do anything." I presented the most innocent grin I could concoct. His eyes landed on the blue Chi orb in my chest. "Why do you have that in there? You could get frozen with that thing!" Without any consent of mine, he reached for the orb, pulled it from my chest and plugged in an orange one. I could feel the extreme heat of the orb as Rawzom shoved it closer to my chest. I attempted to back away but it was too late. The fiery orb instantly sent it's power throughout my body. I felt an insane heat surge through my heart, lungs, and stomach. The painful burning only became more painful. I saw my flaming image shoot up into the sky above me as I screeched in agony. My muscles tensed strongly as they were powered by the orb. My blood felt as if it were boiling inside me. The power was overwhelming and consumed me entirely in its comforting glow. The pain seemed to subside but I could tell that I was only becoming numb to it. Rawzom seemed very perplexed by what was happening. Suddenly, the orb and all the pain was sucked out of my chest. I felt a strong feeling of powerlessness and felt very weak. Then, everything went black.
A peep hole of light broke into my dark haze, bringing me back into reality. I hoped that I was waking up from my dream about the Fire Birds and all, but unfortunately, "Phluminox" was towering over me, holding the orb that Rawzom had shoved into me. He was focused on Rawzom. I decided to pretend I hadn't regained consciousness so I could hear what they were saying. "How could you do that! You could have killed the bird!" Phluminox boomed threateningly. "Razar's taken Fire Chi before. This is someone else. I had my suspicions the whole way here." Rawzom placed his hands on his hips to counter Phluminox. Phluminox threw a suspicious glance my way after Rawzom finished speaking. "Hm. Take him back to your tribe and deal with him accordingly. He should be fine, now that our Tiger Guard has tended his wounds." Phluminox waved his hand toward our Raiders. "Alright then." Rawzom motioned for some Ravens to pick me up. Right as they were about to grab me, I gasped melodramatically. "Ugh, I'm... I'm... where am I?" I rubbed my eyes for effect. "Come on." The ravens helped me to my feet and escorted me to a Raider. I realized that it wasn't mine. "No, I need to take my Raider!" I protested, remembering that my stolen Golden Chi was still in there. The ravens grabbed me by my arms. "We're puttin' you in this one!" The meanest looking one scowled. I turned back at Rawzom. "Let me fly my own plane!" Rawzom nodded and the thugs chucked me toward my vehicle. "Thank you." So, after Rawzom said his goodbyes to the prude Phoenix, we set off for our Tribe. It was a cold, cold ride home. I kept seeing patches of white pillows down on the floor. I even saw a few Chimian children throwing fluff balls at each other. This was so weird! I snuggled against my precious Golden Chi for warmth, the only remnant of my dimension I had left. When we reached our home, it was warm. Very warm. I could finally move. I stashed my precious possession in my satchel and made my way to Rawzom. "I'll, uh, go get in my fire suit." I needed an excuse to get away from him for a moment. "Awright." He grunted, heading into our central building. As I brushed through the various ravens that were busily rushing about, perplexing thoughts kept pestering me. Why were all the ravens so... passive now. Rawzom hadn't tried to pickpocket me the entire way there. None of the ravens had, in fact, attempted to steal from their neighbor today. As I brushed past one, I lifted him of his Chi purse. Heh heh, too easy that time. I grinned, satisfied in my abilities. Then, the strangest thing happened. I heard the sound of my own voice yelling at someone. Turning, I was confronted with an image of myself, dressed in the same outfit that Rawzom had. He wore the same crest on his head that I wore. He... was me? "Rawzom!" He/I shouted. "How come you didn't take me with you on the Fire Chi pickup?" I gulped in anticipation as Rawzom breathed in to reply. "I did take you, Razar! You didn't wear your firesuit and you treated Phluminox like a stranger! And then, when I plugged Fire Chi in your chest, your body rejected it!" Rawzom confronted my alternate self squarely. The other Razar gulped. "I can swear on my life that I didn't go with you! I woke up and you guys had taken off already." Rawzom shook his head angrily. "You know what, Razar. I'm done with your games. Let's just go inside, forget about what happened, and enjoy the meeting." He smiled and they both went inside. Whew, at least Rawzom just let it go. I was now confronted with different courses of action. I wondered what would happen if I smashed my alternate self? I mean, I was the me from the past so it wouldn't matter right? What if I confronted myself and told him I was from his past? How would he react? Opening the top flap of my satchel, I peeked at my Golden Chi. My eyes brightened with enlightenment. "What if..." I muttered softly to myself.

Forget smashing your alternate self, what happens if your alternate self sees you? Isn't that a paradox all by itself?

(OOC: Man, you should continue this! You got alot of old things to resurface and resurrect! )
@thefreindoftfd, yeah I really do. I plan on it but I'm really loaded up with my moderation duties and stuff in other RPs at the moment. But I do have plans to rekick it.
