Indepth Plot *Under Construction**

[K2]

Warning: The following page is excruciating   long. Attempting to read it without break may make you go temporarily   blind from staring at a computer screen too long. For a much shorter   version, please see this topic. It is recommended that you enjoy the following content with a cold drink in a relaxed environment if possible.
   
     

Pre-Content Introduction/A Letter From The Author
   You've all been waiting for this. The  day that we write up in complete  detail the plot of Shattered Planes.  We've been working on this for  years, after all. The indepth plot here  itself is something we've been  working on in our spare time (mainly Hikaru and me with help from  others such as Nisorin and Koty) for the last six months or so. The  content, as I'm sure you'll find, is rather entertaining and the truth  is that about 90% of it was actually roleplayed, the rest being  backstory.

Since 2006, we've been RPing here. Well, not HERE. SP  actually started in June 2006 (June 12 or so, I believe) on a now dead  message board named CLTCG. It was under the name of "Opposing Kingdoms"  back then. It's lived on since then in many different forms with many  different administrators. Now, it's time you all know what that  roleplaying has entailed. What it's been about.

I'm only  releasing Part 1 right now. Part 2 needs some more editing and we  haven't even started writing Part 3 yet. We'll be releasing those parts  as soon as possible. However; I'm sure you'll find that Part 1 will be  more than enough reading material for some time. Until then, bare with  us.

Oh, and one more thing. This indepth plot may be indepth but  it's not as indepth as we'd like it to be. Each section is only a brief  summary of some of the more major plot events. Truth be told, each  section could, with minor exaggeration, be the size of a novel. There's  about 70 sections in Part 1 and 2 combined total. That's about 70  potential novels. So, you see, we couldn't possibly have written up  really detailed events of the plot and have it released this year (I  think it'd take us decades to write the OK in novel form).

Now,  this is almost entirely written from memory of past events. There has  been very minor editing when editing was needed (we removed rips and  what not -- or at least tried) and this plot doesn't cover EVERYTHING.  I don't remember half of the OK, really. What I did remember (and what  others, like Hikaru, remembered) is included here or in the next few  parts. Also, some events may be exaggerated or may have happened a bit  differently, but you know, it's nothing too big. As far as you're  concerned, this is the indepth plot.

Well, I  hope you enjoy. Again, please give Hikaru, Nisorin, Gaserlake, Kai,  Koty, Emily, and whoever else I may be forgetting a big hand. Also, you  guys deserve a hand yourselves. After all, you helped RP it. Finally,  I'd like to applaud all the roleplayers who helped RP it but can't be  here for one reason or another to cherish our success. There's so many  -- Logan (he still gets on occasionally), Derek, Virus.exe/Eric,  Xanacore, Mia, The Purple Thumb, Winter/Brandie, Xana Kawaii Angel, and  the list goes on longer than I can count.

Introducing...

Shattered Planes
A roleplay of life, curiosity, and magic.
 

   
 
 

Part One

 

Opposing Kingdoms Saga
 

  I. Completion:
    For more info, see the following topic: http://shatteredplanes.com/index.php?topic=2057.0
   
     It started with a race unlike anything we know now or anything we will   come to know. The ideas of dimensional planes -- the worlds we inhabit   -- and such had no meaning to this race in this realm... It was a  place  merely known as the North full of superbeings and the like,  capable of  things far beyond the power of today's Sage or Relorian...  These beings  were known as Perfection. They lived in the Beautiful  North in harmony.
   
    These  beings got bored with their perfect  existence, so they went out into  that which existed, leaving the north  into the white emptiness which  they called the Middle. They knew of  three other realms where they'd  come from, all in different  directions, but recalled nothing of life  there. Bored of their futile  existence, they used their remarkable  power of Creation to create life  in the East and West and, abandoning  their homes in the North, went to  live with their creations.
   
    The  creations, the imperfect saw  that these creators were so much more  powerful and demanded that they  themselves be granted power. And so,  the Perfect granted the Imperfect  the power of Destruction. Using this  power, the Imperfect rose up and  rebelled against the Perfect. So began  the war between the east, where  the perfect gathered, and the west,  where the imperfect gathered. The  war would have been the end of all,  but the perfect, seeing their  demise in sight, gave life to abstract  ideals, giving up all the  powers they had but two: Creation and  destruction. These were the two  embodiments not created, the powers the  perfect retained.
   
     Following the end of the war, only one  survived, besides the  embodiments who were awaiting a leader to rise up  from the Perfect. A  half-breed. Half-perfection, half-imperfection.  This gave birth to a  new concept... Completion. The embodiment of  completion, his birth  gave power to, and he rose up as leader of the  embodiments, and new  life was made by the embodiments over and over,  eventually the east  and west being destroyed. The embodiments ruled in  the middle and,  with completion, developed land there. Three realms  were created for  the embodiments to roam in.
   
    On the negative  side of the  middle, there was the land of fire, hell as it would  eventually be  called. On the positive side, there was a realm of wonder  and a realm  of mystery and beauty. The embodiments roamed these three  realm...  Completion, on the other hand, ruled the north. But he never  forgot  about the Perfect and Imperfect, even going as far as to create   spirit-less bodies in their image, the first generation of the   Incomplete (angels). The incomplete served him well..
   
    But  then,  they met other embodiments, and new ideals fueled their head.  Even a  few brave ones thought about trying to take the power of  Complete. But  none ever dared... Until Compete, wanting a brother --  someone to call  kin -- ripped his very essence in two. One half  Creation, the last of  the Perfect, and the other Destruction, last of  the Imperfect.
   
    Destruction  and Creation ruled as the  leaders of the embodiments in harmony for  years, but Destruction  watched as Creation began to create races with  the help of the  embodiments to live side-by-side them all. Destruction  did not  understand the embodiments, created by the Perfect all those  years  ago. Why did they want to create? Destruction wanted to destroy.  Which  is why he volunteered when Creation approached him.
   
    You   see, the Incomplete's foolish ideals eventually spread to the living.   In a great thunderstorm that spread to all living beings, cleansing   their souls, evil was spread. The thoughts of the Incomplete were   spread by the rain from the North. Perfection, sensing evil spreading   to his people, went to Destruction and spoke of a way to rid the evil   of existence. Condemn evil to the long-forgotten South. Destruction   took on the mission of ridding evil of life, by leading the rebellion.
   
     The embodiments knew what this war entailed... But the living knew none   the wiser. As religion after religion developed, the embodiments were   dubbed by the living as gods. The embodiments did not try to correct   them. They played the part of gods.
   
 
II. Dimensions And Sin Of Mortals:
  (For more info on the concept of dimensions, see the wiki article.)
 
     There were two dimensions which contained life. One was the dimension   of the humans. Mortals, those who lived on Earth. They would grow for   years, oblivious to anyone besides themselves. This was a race of   mortals who could not hope to understand the wonders of the universe,   but which would grow strong with intellect. Those on the planet Earth   would thrive and grow old, and watch as their children follow in their   footsteps.
 
  And then, there was other life.. Another dimension.  A  dimension of landscape similar to Earth, but with no stars, no  space,  and no science. While everything in the dimension of humanity  was built  on logic, everything in this other dimension was built on  magic. The  life here practiced the manipulation of this magic.. This  was a  dimension of wizards, witches, and mages -- almost all of which  could  be summed up into one name: Sage.
 
  Neither of the two  dimensions  knew of each other.. But they both existed. As mortals  would grow, so  would sages. Neither would be aware of each other for  quite some time.  And even knowing that someone else is in a room with  you doesn't mean  you can interact with them. Even if they had known of  each other, there  would be no hope of traveling the borders between  dimensions for many,  many years.
 
  Time passed differently between the two dimensions, because time was   different. There were times when a second would go by in the mortal   dimension and in the same amount of time, two hundred years would have   been lived in the sage dimension. There were other times when one   second would pass the same for both dimensions. Nature was quite a   funny thing in this regard.
 
  But things were not funny for all   people everywhere.. The fallen of Erebus, those who had been trapped  in  the South realm by Creation, now were in agony, as was "Him". As  beings  now of corruption, they needed malicious chaos and sin,  wrong-doing, to  be satisfied. It was because of this need for sin to  exist that "Him"  sent 'Lucifer' to the dimensional plane to introduce  sin to the  dimensions.. They would strive off of darkness, and man  would fall to  it.
   
    He started on Earth. There, he let the darkness envelop the hearts of man.
   
    III. Sin Of Sages / Scientific Understanding:
   
    Lucifer  arrived in the Sage Dimension to find that time passed differently  there. He had a vague amusement by sages and how they lived.. And so,  he introduced war to the people and watched as societies began to fall.  Sin entered the dimension.. And sages became sinners, just as humanity  had become. There, sages existed, not knowing of the concept of  dimensions at all.
   
    Fascinated with the way things worked, sages  now began to explore the fabrics of life more, even going as far as to  cross moral boundaries. Many societies began to devote themselves to  the understanding of things around them. Others devoted themselves  further to magic. It was in these days that witchcraft and such things  became somewhat dark as many witches went as far as to try to raise the  dead, becoming necromancers.
   
    Scientific communities rarely went  into much depth of science itself. Seeing the lack of observation in  existence as a bad thing, some sages came together to form a group to  try and protect everyone. While the group's primary goal was to act as  a sort of moderation of evil in life, group members often devoted  themselves to furthering scientific understanding. Because of this, the  guardians acquired many of the greatest scientists in the dimension.
   
    A  theory eventually came about of dimensions and a proposal that there  WAS another dimension somewhere, perhaps with life. The theory was very  limited at the time. It was often dismissed as a silly thought by some  scientists, though others relished the idea and devoted themselves to a  way of breaking the borders of dimensions and traveling across  dimensions. Many of the scientists who tried the latter were  Guardians.. and eventually, a young sage who tried combining the  scientific knowledge of the theory of dimensions with magic succeeded  in traveling to the mortal dimension, where a very young humanity was  discovered.
   
    After the guardians successfully traveled to the  mortal dimension, they made sure to keep dimensional travel a  well-guarded secret. They were the only ones who knew dimensional  travel was real, and they intended to keep it that way. However; as the  work of the Guardians got to be more and more about dimensions,  protecting the dimension became an almost impossible goal. Finally, a  decision was made.
   
    The Guardians were split into three  divisions. One division would remain positioned as the protectors of  sage-kind. A second group, made up primarily of a group which had  disabled their ability to use magic and devoted themselves entirely to  science, would travel to the mortal dimension where they would make a  permanent outpost and introduce certain scientific (and religious)  ideals to humanity (this group would later be known as the Aralangs).  The third group would experiment with creating other dimensions and  exploring the dimensional plane, and would eventually succeed in  creating a new dimension made entirely for the HQ of the Guardians.
   
    However; the Guardians would remain the only ones aware of the dimensions for a long, long time..
   
IV. The Two Tribes / Eter Empire
    The  Glacian Valley was an area in the Sage Dimension which was mostly  uninhabited. There were two tribes in the area -- the Suvian and the  Egallan. The two shared customs and trade, and basically were the only   government partners of the other. The two tribes both followed some   kind of ancient moral code of sorts which dictated behavior of  empires.  The code was almost sacred to each tribe.
   
    The Suvian  eventually published a document of content that violated the moral  code. This cease of relationship would result in a war between the two  tribes, also known as the Eter War.  After several years of war, the  Suvian Tribe decided to cut their  losses and flee the Glacian Valley,  leaving its entirety to the Egallan  Tribe, which would result in the  formation of the Eter Empire.
   
    The Eter Empire would proceed to  expand its territory far past the valley. They grew in numbers and  strength as they expanded. Eventually, the Eter Empire grew from a  small tribe to a full-fledged empire with several cities. Soon, much of  the dimension would fall under the rule of the Eter Empire.. And so, an  emperor was declared leader of the Eter Empire.
     
   
V. Suvian Nomads
Following  the Eter War, the Suvian people fled south of the valley to a nearby  mountain  range where they eventually settled. It was upon being  visited by a Christian missionary that most of the population  converted. Upon conversion, the  Suvian people eventually came to the  realization of the concept of dimensions.  They began a quest to gain  more information on this concept, and sent  out people to research the  concept. Eventually, they discovered  evidence of the Guardians. 
    Upon  discovering the Guardians existence, they began a series of   experiments to reach another dimension.. Eventually, they succeeded  and arrived in the Mortal Dimension.
   
   
VI. First Genesis-Phoenix War

    North  of the borders of the Eter Empire, there existed two rival parties.  Dragons and Phoenix both took humanoid shapes but could change to their  true forms at will. The two 'sub-races' were frequently at war. One  group of dragons who had discovered a powerful magic called Genesis  existed as a military society, separated into Twelve Tribes, each with  leaders called 'Genesis Generals.' The Phoenix, meanwhile, mostly  belonged to a society known as the Phoenix Kingdom.
   
    After much  rivalry between the two parties, war eventually broke out. It consisted  of many long and bloody battles. Eventually, in an effort to end the  war, the Genesis Generals declared a meeting to be held at a secret  location that only they should know. Each General was instructed to  bring only one lieutenant along with them to the meeting.
   
    Far  onto a mountain long away from the main sight of the war, the Generals  convened. Somehow, the Phoenix discovered the location of the meeting  and took this as an opportunity to kill all the Generals at once. A  battle broke out, but the Genesis Generals were out-numbered. After a  bloody massacre, only one General survived.
   
    This General would  be imprisoned inside a Phoenix Kingdom jailcell. The Genesis society  crumbled.. And so began many hard years for the Genesis society, and a  time of success for the Phoenix Kingdom.
   
     
   
VII. Sealing Of "Him"
    Durring  the First Genesis-Phoenix War, Lucifer was very interested in the  battles. For years now, he had been in the Sage Dimension, watching as  wars broke out. This was one of the most interesting of wars to him. He  even met one of the Genesis Generals (the one who would survive in the  later massacre of generals) and spent time at his base. To Lucifer, it  was like personal entertainment.
   
    Sometime during the war, "Him"  created a rift in the dimension and was able to rise temporarily from  Erebus. He was angered that Lucifer had been gone for many years and  had come to see to it that Lucifer was brought back to Erebus. When  sages saw how terrifying "Him" was, they knew he had to be stopped.  Lucifer took the worrying of sages and used it to his advantage,  gathering the strongest of sages to help attempt to kill "Him".
   
    There  were four who united in battle against "Him", those being the Genesis  General (the one who would survive the First Genesis-Phoenix War),  Lucifer, a man named Chaos, and a young man named Zeridan (or as he  would later be called, "Zere").  The combined force of their unique  powers created a new kind of magic called Revelation Magic. With the  power of Revelation Magic, these four -- who would call themselves  among names such as guardians (not the same guardians as those who had  broken the dimensional borders) or Keepers -- sealed "Him" into what  they thought would be an eternal slumber in the depths of the plasma  ocean of Erebus.
     
   
VIII. The Great War
Many  races existed in the Mortal dimension, but they all mostly kept to  themselves, secluded on their own planets. However; after the arrival  of the Guardians and later arrival of the Suvian, many races began to  explore the stars with inner-stellar technology. Tension in the  universe began to build as empires began to ally with other empires.  Alliances were made. In the same manner, enemies were made.
   
    After  much tension in the universe, war finally broke out, with empires  taking one of two sides. The Guardians/Aralangs tried to stop the  fighting, but it only got worse. Many lives were lost. The war was one  of the bloodiest ones that the dimension ever saw. It would also set  the stage for territorial borders throughout the universe. After this  war, empires made sure not to cross paths with other empires in the  galaxy, lest another war break out.
   
     
   
IX. Second Genesis Phoenix War
Following  the release of the surviving Genesis General from the prisons of the  Phoenix Kingdom, hope spread amongst the scattered and neglected  dragons of Genesis. Many begin to gather and travel with the Genesis  General. Eventually, it was decided that a new Kingdom should be  created by the Genesis dragons, and the Genesis General was elected  king. This was the birth of the Genesis Kingdom, a Kingdom which  eventually would be declared an city-state with independence within the  Eter Empire.
    "Him" reawakened sometime in the year before the Second Genesis Phoenix War.  However; he had no memory of his former life. Upon awakening, he was  not in Erebus, but in the Genesis Kingdom.  He made his life there as  an alchemist, starting his own potion shop.  Not worrying about his  past, he grew acustom to his life there. 
    He was friendly with the  locals, and they befriended him. He  took on the name of Ararus. He  began receiving regular customers. He  was almost a doctor of sorts,  fixing medical potions. He had a real  unique ability for mixing  potions not seen by other alchemists in the  Kingdom. 
    He was also  a great sage. His powers were amazing, and he  practiced every day.  Life was great, and he lived to help others; Such  a different life  than his former one. All, perhaps, because his memory  was gone.. But  things would soon change. . He would receive a visit  from a cute,  young girl.. One who would change his life.. 
    The young girl was  out of breath when she arrived at Ararus's  shop. She was tired, but  she managed the words she needed to  pronounce.. Her fiance had been  kidnapped by rebels who had taken him  into the Genesis Forest  surrounding the Genesis Kingdom. With his destination known, Ararus   grabbed his coat and set off on a saga to find this young girl's   fiance.. 
    Actually, it wasn't much of a saga at all. In the  Genesis  Forest, Ararus found the man who had been kidnapped tied to a  tree.  Near the tree sat masked 'rebels' around a camp fire. With all   probability, these rebels were planning to extract the man's Genesis  Magic to sell. Genesis Magic was very powerful, and many people  probably wanted it. 
    It was no problem for Ararus to defeat these  rebels. A very  short battle later, Ararus and the man who had been  kidnapped were on  the way back to the Genesis Kingdom. However; before  they even left the  forest, they were stopped by a man sitting in a  tree. The man seemed to  have an interesting power known as Flash  Magic, which Ararus knew to be common to District 23, a group of rebels  in the Genesis Kingdom with no Genesis Magic. 
    This man, Zeridan,  introduced himself.. He commented that Ararus's magic was not ordinary.   Finally, he invited Ararus to join District 23.. And off he went. And   so did Ararus, back to the Genesis Kingdom, almost forgetting the   encounted with Zerdian.. Almost, that is, until he received another   visit. An even greater one. 
    He was back at his potion shop,  mixing a potion, only minutes  after returning from his adventure in  the Genesis Forest. He heard the  door to his shop open. He turned to  learn the identity of his new  visitor.. The Genesis King.. How  remarkable. What a visitor this was! What did the King want with  Ararus? 
    The King merely commented that he had gained intel that  Ararus  had met the one called Zerdian. The King informed Ararus that  Zerdian  was, indeed, a member of District 23. He also warned Ararus.  Warned him  how dangerous District 23 was. Ararus took this to heart,  but when  asked if Zerdian had mentioned anything regarding it, Ararus  denied  everything.. The King left, with nothing more to say.. 
    A  peaceful, sunny day. A guest arrived, the first of the day. He had   traveled a great distance to get to the Genesis Kingdom and demanded   the Kingdom Guard to allow him to give the King an invitation.. He was   granted permission and taken to the Genesis Palace. Once there, he  gave the Genesis King an invitation of sorts. 
    The invitation was  from the Eter Empire regarding a conference of peace. Upon receiving  the invitation, the Genesis King ordered a drafting of the Genesis  Royal Guard. Men began to be selected by the Genesis Military Drafting  Command.. And one of the men selected was Ararus. Ararus  was commanded  to come to the Palace, along with the others drafted, and  stay in the  Royal Guard Wing of the Palace for a week before the Guards  departed;  They would undergo training every day to prepare for the  mission of  escorting the King to the Eter Nation capital. 
    However; during the  week before the departure, men who had been  drafted began to die in  their sleep. After a series of odd dreams, it  began to dawn on Ararus  that he may be the cause of these deaths. After  a long week of  conflict, the Genesis King confronted Ararus, revealing  indeed that  Ararus had caused the deaths.. And the Genesis King helped  Ararus  control what he called his "Demon Spirit" which caused the  deaths. 
    Finally,  as the week ended, it was time. The group would soon depart to the  forest and begin teleporting (or instantly traveling with magic over  great distances). However; as they reached the treeline of the Genesis  Forest,  they heard a great explosion from behind them. They turned to  see smoke  coming.. From the Genesis Kingdom. So marked the start of  the first  battle in the Second Genesis Phoenix War.
    After  the first battle in the Second Genesis Phoenix War, Ararus was   selected as a soldier to fight in the Phoenix Kingdom. He was put in a   battalion instructed not to teleport to the Phoenix Kingdom, but   instead to cross the Genesis Forest to reach the Phoenix Kingdom. The   soldiers depart. 
    As they travel, Ararus learns the story of the  Dark Forest,  a part of the Genesis Forest.. He dismisses the myth of  the one-way  forest, but when he hears screams coming from the Dark  Forest, he runs  off to find out the cause of the screams.. Runs off,  into the Dark  Forest.. 
    Upon entering the Dark Forest, Ararus met  a man named Mokai.  Mokai expressed mass-confusion about his location.  In fact, Mokai was  in a great panic.. But as Ararus tried to calm him,  they ran into  further problems.. Problems regarding leaving the Dark  Forest. Were the  legends true?
   
    As the two tried to return to  the normal section of  the forest, they were stopped by a great force..  And then, a man,  claiming to be from District 23, showed himself to  the two. He informed  Mokai and Ararus that they were prisoners in the  Dark Forest now.  Prisoners of District 23.. Mokai, who turned out to  be a non-Genesis  sage, and Ararus would have to battle the District 23  man.. 
    Upon eventually defeating the man and escaping the Dark  Forest,  the two returned to the Genesis Kingdom. Ararus reported to  the Genesis  Palace, where Mokai was questioned. The Genesis King was  summoned and  Mokai told that he had come on a great journey from a  world called Xanacoria. Meanwhile, the question of getting Ararus to  the Phoenix Kingdom to join the battle was examined.
    Following a  short rest in the Genesis Kingdom after discovering  Mokai, Ararus and  Mokai travel to the Phoenix Kingdom to assist the  Genesis Kingdom.  Ararus is assigned to a squad in a mission to stop the  Phoenix King  from escaping the Phoenix Kingdom. The team locates the  Phoenix King  and his guard trying to escape the Kingdom and Ararus  battles guards  of the King in an attempt to get to the King himself.. 
    Following  the defeat of the guards, the Phoenix Kingdom  continues to flee from  the squad of Genesis soldiers, and Ararus leads  the squad after the  King.. The squad begins to travel, tracking him in  the Genesis Forest.   The chase ends in the conclusion of the war and the Phoenix King   revealing that the Second Genesis Phoenix War was a result of actions   taken by District 23. 
    Upon the resolution of the war, Mokai and  Ararus both go to  investigate the District 23 HQ after the guards sent  to arrest the  members are not heard from. Upon arriving at the  District 23 base, the  two are immediately captured and locked in an  Anti-Magic prison.. They are set free by Empathy,  who has come looking  for them. However; Empathy has set them free to  battle them - or at  least to battle Mokai. The two are forced to dodge  his attacks as they  investigate the now abandoned District 23 base. 
    As they read  documents in the base, they discover District 23's  plans to kill the  Genesis King.. And they realize they only minutes to  stop District 23.  They must warn the King.. But they must avoid Empathy  in doing so..  Alas, they finally escape Empathy.. But it's too  late. They arrive to  save the King too late.
   
   
X. Resealing Of "Him"
    One  month after the death of the Genesis King, Ararus is having dark   visions. Visions of a dark, evil figure. Meanwhile, what the King told   him weighs heavily on his mind. The King revealed to him that Ararus   had an inner-demon of great power.. Finally, Ararus decides there's  one  thing he must do. Make a memory potion to restore his memory  beyond the  time of his arrival in the Genesis Kingdom. 
    However;  Ararus soon discovers that he needs a bit of magic from a man named  Chaos in order to complete his potion. He begins to track down Chaos.   Luckily, he discovers, Chaos lives nearby. The Dark Forest.. Ararus   goes out to the Dark Forest to find Chaos, supposedly a hermit of   sorts. 
    Ararus finds Chaos, who lives in a hut in the Dark Forest.   Chaos reveals that Ararus needs no potion. Chaos knows of his past.   Ararus demands how Chaos knows of his past. Chaos tells Ararus that he   will reveal everything if Ararus can reveal that he is ready to gain   the information - by defeating Chaos in battle. 
    Ararus battles  Chaos and after a long battle, wins. Chaos  begins a process of  restoring Ararus's memories.. But when the event is  done, Ararus  starts to regret having his memories restored.. As he  learns who, or  rather what, he really is, his mind enters an unstable  psyche. He  returns to the Genesis Kingdom, feeling his powers are  slipping. 
    As  Ararus's psyche slips, he begins to contemplate suicide.  Finally, in  search of a resolution, Ararus goes back to Chaos, who  reveals to  Ararus what he must do. Let his identity engulf him. Ararus  must  accept who he is, and become one with it. He must not fight it, or  he  will fail. 
    Chaos traps Ararus in Erebus,  where he begins to  transform into a beast. The beast that he really is.  It is here that  he will again be placed in a prison. However; things  have changed. One  of the original four guardians has died.. A new  guardian will be  chosen and a saga will now begin. One that will not unfold for many,  many centuries.
   
XI. Era Village 
    A  century after the Second Genesis Phoenix War, a great burst of energy  was released somewhere near the Era Village, a village built by Chaos  and his wife, Gloria, on the remains of the Genesis Kingdom. Chaos  suspected it might be the orb that the Genesis King trapped District 23  in, due to the feeling of the power released. He contacted the  Guardians who come to investigate, but nothing was found.
    Chaos's  wife, meanwhile, was in labor. That day, she gave birth to two twins --  there second and third children, with an older, five-year-old daughter  already having been born. The twins were very special.. They were the  grandsons of Mokai, who took the soul of the Genesis King, and had  inherited the power of the Genesis King split into two halves - White  and Black. A celebration occurred in the village.
    Zere, meanwhile,  had escaped his orb due to a small crack which allowed only he passage  from the orb. He stumbled upon the Era Village and discovered the twins  who were the heirs to the Genesis King's power. This prompted him with  a desire to kill the twins, but he knew that Chaos was too strong to  battle. In order to get access to the twins, he'd have to use cunning.
    Zere  took advantage of Hikaru, Chaos's five-year-old-daughter who had the  powers of a Phoenix. He convinced her that her family and friends were  all corrupt. After much persuading, he convinced her to unlock ancient  spells.. And kill everyone inside the Era Village. This would not go  over entirely as planned, though, when the powers of Genesis protected  the twins from Hikaru's attack.
    In a last effort to stop her  brothers, Hikaru sealed the ability to use Genesis Magic away from the  twins. It was out of their reach. The five-year-old-prodigy then  proceeded to follow Zere out of the village where she would be trained  for the next decade or so in advanced magics. Zere would train Hikaru  to use her Phoenix powers.
    However; Hikaru had not succeeded in  destroying the Era Village, as she thought. Gloria, wife of Chaos, led  the people of the village to take the village and dislodge it from time  during Hikaru's attack, leaving behind a fake village for Hikaru to  destroy. What Hikaru thought she had destroyed was actually well alive,  dislodged from time itself.. But Hikaru, the Genesis twins (who were  named K2323 and Kai), and Chaos were not taken with the village when it  was dislodged, and were left behind in the fake, destroyed village.
    Chaos,  thinking the village really had been destroyed, set off in agony to  start anew. Hikaru went off to train with Zere and grow stronger. That  left K2323 and Kai, infants, alone. And then, Konjan, a guardian,  arrived and took K2323 and Kai under his wing. He would take them to  the Guardian Dimension and raise them as sons for the next decade or  so. 
   
XII. Hikaru's Search For K2323 and Kai
     A  little over ten years after the destruction of the Era Village, Hikaru  began to search for K2323 and Kai, with a desire to finish off the  Genesis Dragons once and for all. When she finally found them, she was  faced with an entirely new challenge. Dimension travel. It wasn't  exactly something she could look up in a spellbook. Most people still  didn't even know that dimensions existed.
   
    When Hikaru finally  learned and perfected dimension teleportation, she arrived inside the  Guardian Dimension. Konjan, K2323, and Kai had just got back from  training within the Era Valley. Hikaru easily destroyed most of the  Guardians. She and Konjan broke out in battle, one-on-one, when Konjan  pushed Kai and K2323 through portals to take them back to the Sage  Dimension in order to avoid their capture by Hikaru. Hikaru would  proceed to turn Konjan into a mere, small boy with no memories of his  past.
   
    Kai and K2323 were seperated in the Sage Dimension. Kai  found himself in a desert of some kind where he encountered a desert  merchant. The merchant ended up trapping him inside a crystal in which  everything that ever occurred which related to him, and all of his  past, flashed before his eyes. He learned of Hikaru, who she was, and  what she had done many years before.
   
    K2323 was lost and alone in  the Era Valley. He knew that Hikaru was bad, and that he needed to get  back to the Guardian Dimension, but he had not yet perfected Dimension  Teleportation. Still, he attempted to teleport himself to the Guardian  Dimension.. And he ended up creating a permanent doorway to the mortal  dimension and breaking through a defense barrier the Aralangs had put  around the dimension to prevent anyone from teleporting to it -- a  spell way above the boy's skill-level, and a factor in his eventually  becoming one of the strongest of sages.
   
    The power which went  into creating the doorway could be felt all over. Hikaru, who had come  to the Era Valley after finishing in the Guardian Dimension, was among  the first to feel the power released by K2323's spell. She quickly  teleported to the doorway, but K2323 had already gone through. She  followed him into the doorway, not sure what was on the otherside. This  would be the beginning of a legacy unlike any other.
   
   
XIII. Humanity Meets Sages
    K2323,  upon going through the doorway he created, found himself in the Realm  Of Existence, a beautiful garden of some sorts surrounding a palace. He  was scared and confused. An Aralang came to him, investigating the  breech in the defense field, and found him. He helped K2323 piece  together what had happened, and took K2323 to Earth to show him it and  help explain to him about just who humans were.
   
    Gaserlake and  K2323 got separated at Earth where he would eventually meet Logan, a  man who had achieved a limited sense of immortality. Logan and  Gaserlake would eventually branch off of Earth in their own empire.  Gaserlake, upon meeting Logan, suffered a fall in which he developed a  case of amnesia, forgetting his past and who the Aralangs were. Because  of such, he was separated from his people for centuries.
   
    K2323  took the land masses of the planet Earth and made copies of them and  all of their people, before scattering them throughout the galaxy and  putting the land-masses and the people on different planets. He  declared himself the leader of these people and made his base in  Japan.. But not just any Japan. He put the land-mass of Japan in a  "pocket-dimension" - an area of space only assessable by going through  a black hole.
   
    The people of these planets were amazed by K2323's  power, having never before seen magic. K2323 used this to his  advantage, and he was treated well as an emperor. However; things would  not last in harmony for all time. Eventually, sages began to find  K2323's doorway and come through it themselves. Including Hikaru.
   
     
     
   
XIV. Bloodlines
    While  many sages came to the dimension, not all joined the forming kingdom  K2323 was building. Hikaru herself started a kingdom which roped in  many sages who opposed K2323's way of doing things. Many sages simply  felt that K2323, who was only a young teenager at the time, was too  young to run a society. Hikaru quickly managed to grow an army of  great, formidable power. K2323's kingdom was threatened.
   
    Both  begin building armies, though the style in which the armies were built  differentiated greatly. Hikaru took in students who she trained in her  ways of magic. Many of these students would become close associates and  apprentices to Hikaru, living under her watch in her castle. Others  would join the ranks of Hikaru's general, The Purple Thumb, who was  much more of a military man. This caused somewhat of a bi-partisanship  within Hikaru's military which made for much stronger base in attack.
   
    K2323,  on the other hand, had been less focused on training in his initial  time of leadership, whereas he was more focused on construction and  development. Communication was quickly developed through use of  K-Transmitters, television and radio-like devices of all kinds of  design. Among the greatest buildings first constructed in the K Empire  was the K Dome. It was a great tournament designed for magic sparring.  This is where K2323 trained his army in the arts of magic in  mass-number, and where he chose two of his students, Xanacore and Mia,  as his generals.
   
    One day, Kai showed up in the K Dome during a  training session with soldiers. K2323 welcomed the arrival of his  brother, and the two engaged in a friendly sparring match. After  trapping Kai underground and nearly crushing him with the pressure of  the dirt, K2323 was victorious in the match. In a more serious request,  Kai asked for land from K2323. He knew by now of K2323's spell in which  he copied land from the planet Earth and asked for some himself. As  Hikaru now owned the planet Earth, and as she and K2323 had tried to  reach a sort of peace, it was decided that Kai was to be brought to a  strip of land which had been named Boarder Line, designated as a place  for K2323 and Hikaru to meet on neutral grounds; Collectively, Hikaru  and K2323 decided to put Kai through a test before he gained land.
   
    Kai  ended up gaining land taken from Australia, and his planet was named  such. Now, each of the three were the major leaders of the dimension.  Each of the three had kingdoms.. And each of the three, potentially,  were in war; Political tensions were high. The countries were young.  Nobody knew who would attack.. Or when. And that was reason enough for  each three to build military power, Kai himself training stealthy  warriors who were named, "ninja".
   
    Eventually, after much  fighting, Kai kidnapped Hikaru and took her to a warehouse of sorts. It  was here that the two battled. K2323, Xanacore, The Purple Thumb, and  anyone else who tried to interfere were powerless. They watched as Kai  killed Hikaru.. But then, she came back to life, thanks to her phoenix  abilities.. As a little girl! Luckily, she soon found a note written by  her adult self which told her how to restore her age and memories to  her old form before she had been re-incarnated.
   
    K2323 was  eventually made aware of the secrets Kai (who had learned much from the  desert merchant he had met) and Hikaru held. He was made aware of the  fact that Hikaru was her sister, and what she had done. He even went  with Kai to meet their father in the Spirit Realm for the first time.  It is there that they decided to go on a quest to unlock the Genesis  Powers Hikaru had sealed within them as infants. They took off to  unlock ancient powers so great that they would have to quite possibly  kill..
   
    Little did they know, they were about to begin a journey greater than anything they had ever done.
   
   
XV. K2323 And Kai Unlock Genesis Magic
    K2323  and Kai's quest to unlock their Genesis Magic started in a mysterious,  ancient room of white. Complete white. White walls, white floors, and a  white table in the middle of the room with a crystal ball upon it. It  was here that Kai and K2323 saw the illusions of their pasts. They saw  the Second Genesis Phoenix War. Their ancestors. It was here that they  came to understand how dangerous of a foe their sister really was. How  damaging of a foe the Phoenix had been.
   
    K2323 and Kai went upon  many great tests. They had to kill. They had to battle dragons and  prove that they were worthy of obtaining Genesis Magic. If they could  do this, they would be granted their powers. They successfully  completed their trials and found themselves back in the Kingdoms with  their own staffs, a white staff for K2323 and a black staff for Kai.  They had no idea what had just happened, but in all actuality, the  powers of the Genesis King had been split into two: The White Genesis  Dragon and Black Genesis Dragon, each's power sealed inside the twins.
   
    One  of the first acts upon unlocking Genesis which was preformed by the  twins was a spell to prevent the threats of time travel. It had come to  their attention that anyone could time travel into the past and change  the reality of things. This was too dangerous of a problem. They would  create a spell only possible with their Genesis Magic. It was a spell  which locked time itself, preventing travel through it by any means.  Even freezing time became extremely difficult, if not impossible, and  if managed, only for a few seconds.
   
    They would continue to use their powers in great magnitude. This would eventually come back to haunt them..
   
   
XVI. Capture Of Hikaru
    K2323  and Kai were generally allied now. They agreed that Hikaru was the one  person they had to stop. After much collective effort and several  battles, Hikaru was, indeed, captured. She was handcuffed with  Anti-Magic handcuffs. It was in this time that she was brought to a  colony of K2323's kingdom which was ran by Logan (and Gaserlake).. The  city under the sea; Atlantis. Inside top-security prisons, many evils  had already been locked up. Hikaru, so far, was the most dangerous of  all.
   
    Upon staying in Atlantis, something happened. The darkness  inside K2323 and Kai began to boil.. And it would quite possibly be the  end of them all.
   
   
XVII. Genesis Demons
    K2323  and Kai were almost possessed. They quickly came to find out that each  of them were sharing their bodies with other entities. Darker versions  of them.. Almost as if they were demons. These 'demons' quickly left  the twins' bodies when they were able to become tangible. As it turned  out, extensive use of Genesis Magic had resulted in the formation of  dark creatures which spawned from the consciousness of both K2323 and  Kai.
   
    These 'demons' caused much destruction in the kingdoms.  K2323 and Kai personally battled them. Sometime in the battle, Hikaru  managed to escape, in which time she became stranded in Australia,  still handcuffed and on the run (though she eventually got the  handcuffs off by breaking them on a rock). K2323 and Kai had bigger  things to worry about. How would they defeat these darker versions of  themselves!? What were they to do!?
   
    Eventually, the battle  ended. K2323 and Kai managed to trap the demons inside a void of some  sorts which only the twins could enter or leave at will. The demons, as  such, could not leave. They eventually diminished inside the vortex due  to not being able to handle the energies it was made of, resulting in  their deaths and probable admittance to hell. K2323 and Kai decided  that they would minimize the use of Genesis Magic.. Even so, Kai knew  what the brothers had to do -- They had to go and train in their  Genesis Magic and get control over their powers so that this would not  happen again.
   
    And so, they prepared for departure.
   
   
XVIII. Marriage Of Emily and Demonkiller
    While  little is known about this event in history, it is known that it did  occur. Emily, a follower and close friend of Hikaru, was to be married  to a demon killer in a nice little chapel. K2323 and Kai were known to  attend, though Hikaru was still somewhere in Australia at the time, in  handcuffs. After Hikaru freed herself, she came to the wedding, where  it was interrupted.
   
    The event was one of the last times that the  major powers of the universe were together that Millennium. After many  displays of magic (such as animal-transformation) at the wedding, and  much fun (and a few fights, of course), K2323 and Kai took off. Emily's  marriage would eventually end and she would follow Hikaru in taking  advantage of the absense of the twins and training.. As well as  destroying much land of her brothers.
   
   
XIX. Thousand Year Break
    K2323  and Kai trained for the better part of a thousand years in their magic.  They spent their time mostly in the Sage Dimension, learning the  secrets of their ancestors. And learning to control their powers. After  centuries of mastering their Genesis magic, they came to ask themselves  if they were quite ready to return home. They decided that they were  not ready, but they did need time alone to train apart from each other.
   
    In  this time, most sages had learned about the guardians. K2323 himself  had gone around informing some people of the Opposing Kingdoms, of the  guardians, and of many other things he had known for much time, in an  attempt to gain followers. Many people begin to experiment in actually  creating dimensions. Soon, Chaos, who had escaped the Spirit Realm and  in fact changed his appearance a great bit through use of magic in  order to avoid being found by former foes, created a spell which used  the properties of the 'dimensional sea', a sea of information and magic  he had learned about in his time in the spirit realm which actually  bordered the dimensional plane (or collective of dimensions) to create  a dimension. Many people soon found out about this spell and followed  his example.
   
    K2323 ended up visiting the domain of Chaos, not  realizing that the man was his father because of his change in  appearance. K2323 stayed inside the palace of Chaos within his  dimension as a personal guest for much time. He eventually found out,  though, about a power Chaos had called Mayhem which allowed him to  cause utter chaos in the hearts of men. While Chaos had limited control  over the power, K2323 felt it was of too much power for Chaos, and that  it would make Chaos corrupt. And so, K2323 stole it and took off to the  Kingdoms.
   
    Kai, meanwhile, had decided that he had not yet  mastered his powers. He was not ready to return home. He decided that  he would make a clone of himself to go home and rule his kingdoms for  him. He gave the clone strict instructions to tell those who it met  that it was a clone; A mere representation of Kai. Unfortunately, as it  would turn out, the clone had its own agenda.
   
    Over the thousand  years, Hikaru came to rule most of the Kingdoms. War basically crushed  her brothers' domains. Her army came to be the major force of power  throughout the universe. Basically, she was in control. Times were  truly dark for all who had opposed her administration before.
   
    She  obtained, during this time, some sort of book which had been in  possession of K2323 and Kai. It was described as a book which could  control an evil force of some sorts which could go as far as to "suck"  magic from those it encountered. This likely describes how Hikaru came  to obtain a book called the "Book Of Revelations" which was a spellbook  for Revelation Magic, a magic made by the Keepers in order to seal  "Him". Hikaru, luckily, did not awaken "Him"; She didn't even know much  of the book at the time. She would, for the next several years, study  the book.
   
    Most people in this time had focused on dimensions.  Nobody even suspected that, within the sage dimension, there was a  society living in an entirely different universe. The society was an  advanced magic society, but something went wrong. They were forced to  abandon their universe and come to ours where they learned of the hype  about dimensions. This group, the Relorians, made a trek to the  Kingdoms where they began to study universes and see if they could  return to their own.
   
    After much studies, they departed from  our universe, but not before leaving some Relorian couples behind if  seen possible; This would contribute greatly to history in a few  decades.
   
   
XX. Jikore Arrives
    Following  the end of the thousand years in which K2323 and Kai had gone to train,  Kai (or rather, his clone, who was acting secretively as if he were  Kai) had started a resistance against Hikaru's army. He and K2323 used  their great increase in power from training to regain control of their  kingdoms. War loomed in the balance with the powers of Hikaru's  kingdom. However; the war never got underway, as a great foe of sorts  came about.
   
    Jikore was a messenger and high ranking subordinate  of Chaos. He traced K2323 to the Kingdoms after K2323 stole the power  of Mayhem from Chaos. He warned all in the Kingdom that K2323 was angry  and that he was coming. Soon. After many battles with the one named  Jikore, everyone prepared themselves. Whoever Chaos was, he was coming..
   
   
XXI. Chaos Arrives
    Chaos  arrived in Atlantis, looking for K2323. Logan told Chaos that he should  leave Atlantis. Chaos caused a bit of destruction before taking off to  find K2323. He didn't find K2323 immediately, and generally caused a  lot of destruction. Nobody seemed to notice the true identity of Chaos.  All in all, he was a foe to the Kingdoms.
   
    Many people tried to  stop Chaos. He was battled in great frequency. He eventually even  managed to possess Chaos and seemingly surpass any method in which  K2323 might regain control of his body. However; K2323 did manage to  regain control of his body by placing his consciousness inside an  android until he could later gain control of his own body again.
   
    Chaos  used the power of a white cross of some sorts to attempt taking away  K2323's Genesis powers in revenge for the steeling of mayhem. He also  managed to retrieve the power. However; before Chaos could get the  powers of Genesis, he was defeated by the three sibling sages (K2323,  Kai, and Hikaru; The nickname 'Sage 3' had been used often lately to  represent the three as a whole).
   
    Even after Chaos was defeated,  though, nobody knew that he had been the father of the Sage 3; The Sage  3 presumed their father to still be in the Spirit Realm.
   
   
XXII. Halloween
    In  Halloween of the year after the return of routine events throughout the  kingdoms, Hikaru invited her siblings to a party of sorts at her palace  to celebrate an event talked about all over by many cultures in many  lands called "Halloween". Kai and K2323 were skeptic about the party.  There was a good chance that it was a trap. It would not be the first  time which Hikaru had tricked the two in such a manner. Still, the  brothers came.
   
    Sometime during the party, a treaty was made  between the three which called for peace between the three. Many days  later, the treaty would be destroyed and war would return to the  Kingdoms. Still, for a short time, there was peace between the  siblings. Even so, that did not mean absolute peace existed. There was  still another foe which the siblings would have to battle together..  Eventually.
   
   
XXIII. Treaty Nulled
    In a fit of some sorts, Kai destroyed the treaty from Halloween. War returned to the Kingdoms.
   
   
XXIV. Assassin
    A  man named Assassin (named such because he was born to be a great  assassin) who was part of a council of killers was hired by Jikore, who  suspected Chaos had been killed, to destroy those within the kingdoms.  Assassin showed up and made great trouble throughout each and every  kingdom in the land. He generally could not be defeated as he was quick  and powerful. It took much fighting to kill him.

[K2]

XXV. War Of Atlantis
Hikaru used K2323's spell to copy land from the Earth and place it on planets, creating a whole new series of planets which were up for grabs. This prompted a considerable flux in political tension as a new goal for conquest of the galaxy began. However; the Sage 3 was not the only party involved in the attempt to gain new land and expand their domain. The lost city of Atlantis's inhabitants, though under colonization of K2323, also attempted to gain land from the oppurtunity, with consent from K2323 as Emperor and ultimately the overseer of all events that go on in the colonies. While K2323 obviously had no problem with the establishing of these colonies, Hikaru and Kai, who each shared a personal dislike for Logan, were determined to crush the efforts of colonization.

The war over these new planets consisted of several small skirmishes, mainly between Kai and Logan, with various outcomes. Hikaru, meanwhile, was also plotting against K2323, who was backing up Logan. The war reached a high-point on territory identical to Earth's country of France. After continuous fighting on the planet, K2323 wiped out Kai's new settlements there with a super bomb of magic. There were no survivors.

Following the tragedy, Kai and Hikaru approached K2323 in an attempt to end the war. If necessary, they would use force. However; they did not suceed in their attempts at first. They were left with one option; Careful strategy and recruitment began to begin the full invasion of Atlantis.. and elimination of K2323. The project was named Project: Mexico.

K2323 was, at the time, in his bedroom in Japan, working at his desk, when Project: Mexico took action. Emily, a part of the project, arrived in the bedroom and attempted to seduce K2323. She kissed him with a poison lipstick upon her mouth. K2323 died of poison at the lips of someone he genuinly cared for. Upon death, his Genesis powers were automatically transfered to his twelve-year-old son (who had never met the man) in the Era Valley who lived with his mother, having been born in the thousand years in which K2323 was away from the Kingdoms. A spell also activated which sent a message to the son, informing him of everything K2323 had been through, and telling Kaleb that he now had inherited the throne of K2323's domain.

Project: Mexico in this time also attempted an invasion of Atlantis. However; they ultimately failed in their attempted invasion. They stopped in their attempts to invade Atlantis and even allowed it to retain minimum control over certain territories of the universe. Atlantis stopped fighting over more territory. In this time, Kai revealed that he himself also had a son named Ryuu, and Hikaru created a failed clone of herself named Hikari which she called her daughter.

Emily, feeling guilt, revived K2323 who ended up taking back his empire. His son became a high ranking government member of the kingdom, but generally was weak in magic without genesis due to lack of training.

XXVI. War Of Darkness
After being revived by Emily, K2323 one day was near Australia when he felt a great surge of power appear, a new magic signature. He appeared to its source; An Australian garden. Under a pavilion, he saw Kai, who he went to talk to. He questioned Kai, asking why he was suddenly so much stronger. Kai asked what he was talking about, telling K2323 that his training had made him stronger.. This was the real Kai. It was in this moment that Kai realized that his clone had not followed his orders to reveal itself as simply a clone.

K2323 and Kai took off to find and stop the clone from further governing Kai's kingdom, but they found him too late to stop what would happen next. The clone had just completed the summoning of the Genesis Demon Twins, Assassin, and Chaos. The sudden freedom of these four at one time, along with minor assistance from the clone, was devastating for everyone. It resulted in a war which would be known as the War Of Darkness.

In this war which effected the entire universe, the army of summoned troubles used creatures from the shadows as their army. The battle resulted in much destruction, but eventually the foes were defeated. All except the clone of Kai (who took the new name of "KiaB") who had now gone missing.. In his time of absense, he would shed himself of Kai's body to prevent threats of Kai being able to find and destroy him. KiaB spent the following few months learning many new techniques and spells, as well as gaining new contacts which would eventually prove useful..

But not at that time, for he was acting in the shadows. Everybody else was focused on.. Excel.

XXVII. Excel Tournament
Following the War Of Darkness, K2323 informed Hikaru that he was hosting a tournament which he had hosted once before and had made into a per-mill or so event. It was a magic fighting tournament -- Just for fun. The prizes were minimal. It was just what was needed for the Kingdoms, as the war had caused much suffering. And so, everyone was informed.

Training quickly began. Guests were invited. Among the guests were the child form of Konjan, who had no memories of K2323 or Kai, as well as someone named 'Zere' who K2323 mentioned to someone that he was hosting at the Realm Of Existence palace. K2323 had no idea who Zere was.. Or what he had done in the past.

Zere, in search still for revenge against the Genesis King, sought to kill K2323 and Kai, putting an end to the Genesis Bloodline. He did this by gathering power from numerous sources around the Kingdoms. He eventually ran into Kai, who, having seen Zere through the crystals the desert merchant he'd met centuries ago, tried to fight against the man. Zere placed a seal on Kai which gave control of Kai's will to Zere, making Kai susceptible to Zere's orders.

When the tournament came about, there were many matches -- and many new faces. Among the strongest of those present were newcomers Angela (who turned out to be a sister of Emily) and a man named Blue Zero who's hair seemed to change color when he was fighting. At one point in the fight, Konjan's fighting broke the spell Hikaru had placed on him long ago which had changed his form to a child. Konjan began to release a great amount of energy and was escorted to an area of wilderness; Zere followed Konjan and absorbed this power being released, causing Konjan to stop giving off energy. Konjan had fainted on the ground.. but was an adult again, with his memories returned.

The tournament was starting to heat up when suddenly, Zere made his move. It all started with Kai..


XXVIII. Zere's Invasion
Zere's invasion occurred in two intervals..

After Zere had so much power, he was able to find the orb the Genesis King had trapped his people in and release the spell. His people were free and most of them aligned with his seeking of revenge. He took the spirit of his deceased wife, who he had stored inside his own arm, sealed, and unsealed her, asking her to help him in creating a land for their people to live in. This was how the land known as Midnight Align came to be. It would be the place where the spirit of Zere's wife, the 'Midnight Mistress' would linger half-alive.

Zere and his people arrived at the K Dome where they interrupted the tournament. They attempted to kill K2323, and anyone who got in their way. Their invasion was only made possible with the help of Kai acting from the inside, because of his seal. Everything was going good.. and then K2323 removed Kai's seal. Or so he thought.

Kai acted as if the seal had successfully been removed, fighting alongside K2323. Kai helped Zere stage his death. However; this was only an act. The tournament continued as it had been planned. Round 2 came about, and a recess was declared. The tournament would continue in three days in a new, grand Excel Arena.

When Round 2 came about, everything continued as planned until the semi-finals. Kai vs Emily. It would be one of the last battles.. But right before it began, Kai, still being influenced by Zere, attacked K2323 in the Viewing Deck of the Excel Arena. When Emily realized what was happening, she chased after him and began to battle him. It was in this time that Zere arrived.

K2323 was in the viewing deck, in a thrown, babysitting a child-like Hikaru (who was as such because she had died during the tournament), when Zere arrived and succeeded in killing K2323. He almost did the same to Hikaru when Emily arrived in the room. She fought Zere, creating a bubble around the two so that they could fight. However; eventually, she realized that Zere was too strong. She took Hikaru and fled.

Emily and Hikaru arrived in the Spirit Realm, looking for K2323. They found him, and he revealed an idea. He would use the chains of time which he, along with his brother Kai, had locked time itself with, to tie Zere to death. Zere would take K2323's place in death, allowing K2323 to return to the mortal plane. K2323 preformed the spell and put an end to Zere. For awhile..

Kai was disqualified from the tournament, though his seal was removed. Emily was declared the victor. The day was saved.

XXIX. Atlantis War For Independence
The people of Atlantis had become fed up with the suppression forced by being a colony of K2323. They sought independence, and would use force if they had to. And so, they began to attack the kingdom of K2323, prompting his reply by doing the same to Atlantis. He and Logan ended up fighting one-on-one..

The fight got so intense that a curse within Logan activated, causing for the birth of a split personality of sorts known as Dark Logan. Dark Logan, which created its own body, caused the fight to be postponed. K2323 fought Dark Logan but, coincidence, lost control of his Genesis Magic, prompting the birth of a third Genesis Demon; The Golden Genesis Demon. K2323 and Logan were overpowered. They drew an end to the war, K2323 granting Logan independence.

XXX. Formation Of The Anrufe
Dark Logan and the Golden Genesis Demon together fought against K2323 and Logan. Eventually, the fight split into two different fights, but it started off two against two. K2323 eventually used his genesis magic to reseal the Golden Genesis Demon.. But not before the opening of a hellgate was caused by the pair. This prompted the arrival of several demons as well as certain escapees from hell. It was generally very chaotic.

Dark Logan and Logan fought against each other hard. Logan managed to overcome Dark Logan many times through pure intellect. However; eventually Dark Logan got Logan down. Logan was about to be defeated when he heard voices -- voices of those he loved, telling him he could defeat Dark Logan, reminding him of his heritage and the powerful bloodline he was a part of. Logan managed to defeat his alter-ego.

Eventually, most of those who had come from hell were sent back to where they'd come from through many powerful spells, and the hellgate was closed. Only a few survived by forming an alliance. It consisted entirely of those who had escaped from hell. And their leader? Someone who had not come from hell, but who knew these escapees very well..

The leader was KiaB; The members were Chaos, Zere, Assassin, and the Genesis Demons. And the name of the organization was Anrufe. They would seek power by conquest; Conquer all that they could. Get revenge on those who had killed them in the past. And this time, they would not fall. This was the start of their prime.

XXXI. Twilight
It all started when Zak Kent arrived from the future.

In an alternate timeline future of the roleplay, a man named Zirridian had gained the powers of an energy called Twilight. He'd used this energy to conquer the entire universe, crushing all foes. The only one who had been able to stop him had been Logan Kent. Almost defeated, Zirridian built a time machine to go back in time and stop Logan from ever being born.

It would come to be known after this event that the use of Twilight Energy somehow bypassed the lock on time created by K2323 and Kai.

Zak Kent, in this alternate future, knew that Zirridian had to be stopped. Before Zirridian left, Zak sabotaged the time machine the conquerer had planned to use, causing it to cause Zirridian to slowly leak into the time he was traveling to, giving those in the past a chance at defeating the foe before it fully materialized. And then, Zak went back in time as well. Back further than Zirridian had gone. Back to warn the past.

The past, our timeline: Logan Kent, upon hearing of the news of the coming threat from the future, assembled his foes to help him battle the man. They thought they'd have time to defeat the man, but the Anrufe eventually found out of the imposing threat and went to help it. They found the energy called Twilight and used it to speed up the arrival of Zirridian.

Zirridian quickly arrived in the past and recruited a young leader named Derek who had just gained control of a planet which had been replicated from the Earth country of Germany. Derek, the anrufe, and Zirridian battled Logan, Zak, and other allies. The battle was looking bad for Zak and Logan when suddenly Hikaru arrived.. and helped her enemy, Logan!

The battle ended in retreat on both sides. The exhausted parties went to recoup and prepare for war.. But Zirridian put an end to the threats of war by informing Derek that he was leaving to a foreign galaxy for reasons unknown. Derek was to raise an army in the kingdoms and represent Zirridian. This was the formation of the Twilight Empire.

XXXII. Starclan
The Suvian, over the centuries, had formed into an empire which called themselves Starclan. The Starclan had become very advanced in both magic and technology. After a sage discovered their planet, quite a few people took notice of their existence. Their home planet, Planet Star, was even chosen as the location for a meeting between Emily and K2323.

Jeff Star, leader of the Starclan, came to the two during their meeting to investigate their arrivals. Emily, offended at the interruption, through the leader into a wall with such strength that the man flew through the wall; His impact with the ground formed a small crater in the ground as well. The death of Jeff Star marked the beginning of a gradual decrease in advancement for the Starclan. And it also marked the date of the exposure of the Starclan to those around them.

XXXIII. Ball Of Jeffery Star
Jeffrey Star was the son of Jeff Star. Jeffrey took the throne after his father's death. His policies were much different from his fathers and perhaps were part of the eventual downfall of the Starclan Empire. Jeffrey focused much more on relations with other empires. He actually once held a ball for the major political factions of the galaxy.

The ball marks the date at which the end arrived for an era in history. The ball was one of the last times that peace existed in the kingdoms under the dominance of the Sage 3. Most of the important figures of the kingdoms were present for the ball. All were suspicious of the Starclan leader, of course. Political tension was high.

The political tension generated by the ball would cause action to be taken by several parties. This action would be the awakening of darkness..

XXXIV. Kai's Soul
The event revolving around Kai's soul which occurred after the Starclan Ball was ultimately responsible for many things. It was the end of the era in which the Sage 3 controlled the universe. It was also the event that would allow mortals to gain control of the universe through use of technology. Ultimately, the event is considered the fall of an era. As such, it is a major event in the history of the plot.

In the Excel Tournament, Ino had gained control of Kai's soul, the organ in every sage's body which not only allows them to use magic but allows manipulation of their will. As such, even though Kai had been able to use magic for the last few months, he could have been stopped at any time. Ino took the time to sell the soul in this time. The soul went through many purchases and ended up in the hands of many.

In the time of about a month, Kai was a living puppet for whoever got their hands on his soul. Depression kicked in. Kai decided to end it all.. By committing suicide. Or so he made it seem; He went to the Dragon Twin Vortex where he and K2323 had once trapped the Genesis Demon Twins. Here, he created a door to take him to another dimension where he would train. However; the energies of the vortex caused a flaw in the door..

While Kai successfully teleported to another dimension, the door sent surges of enormous amounts of energy into Erebus. Kai was slowly but surely awakening "Him" quite by accident. While at the moment things would be safe, the time would come when "Him" would awaken and reak havok on all. Kai would learn of what he'd done durring his time away and send a message to K2323 instructing him to take Ryuu and Kaleb into training to prepare for the arrival of a certain darkness.

K2323, ignoring the orders of his brother, assured that Konjan had sealed away Kai's soul so that it could not be further toyed with and had his son and nephew trained by his former master while he took off to another dimension to search for his brother.

Part Two

XXXV. Ten Year Gap
In the time following the departure of the Genesis Twins, there was a significant revolution in space conquest as technology came to replace magic. Hikaru and some of her followers left the dimension to explore other dimensions. With the Sage 3 gone, other sages almost completely went into hiding or exiled themselves from the universe. The universe was in turmoil. A few sages tried to maintain the kingdoms they had been a part of, but ultimately failed.. And then, the mortals came.

Atlantis. Those from the lost city rose from the planet Earth and went out to take land for themselves. Taking after the attempts of the magi-technological empire came many societies made up of other races without magic in the universe, as well as a few with magic. The Twilight Empire, Atlantis, and many others would eventually come to form together in a strategic alliance known simply as, "The Alliance".

Meanwhile, the Sage 3 underwent vigorous tasks. Hikaru and her followers explored the universe and increased their strength. Kai eventually settled down in a utopian society where his magic advanced well beyond usual. It was here that he learned to advance another techinque known as Boshi Liko as well. K2323, meanwhile, chased after Kai and trained much as well. It was a time of great improvement.

However; not all great things last. The Alliance would soon meet their first enemy.
XXXVI. First Sage War

The Alliance faced a relatively strong foe one time who followed an odd religion of some sorts. The threats of war with this foe was being discussed at a meeting between The Alliance leaders at Boarder Line, now the location of the Alliance's headquarters. In the last ten years, the Alliance had gained control over most of the land which had previously been under sage control. They did not anticipate the return of a significant sage power. That's why they were all surprised -- and somewhat afraid -- when both K2323 and Hikaru appeared inside their meeting room at Boarder Line.

The two sages had happened to return on the same day, which was very surprising and a complete coincidence. The two siblings observed that The Alliance had gained control over most of the universe. They were not happy with The Alliance's ways of using technology to advance their empires. K2323 raised the issue to the brink of threats of war between sage and mortals. Hikaru, on the other hand, viewed the conflict as stupid, and she exiled herself to the Outerverse.

K2323 negotiated with the Twilight Empire and The Alliance over regaining some of his taken land. Japan had hints of Twilight influence but still remained mostly independent, but much destroyed due to countless incursions over the last decade with The Alliance. K2323 regained The Realm Of Existence as well. The terretory that had been brought to existence from the Earth country of China remained in the hands of the Twilight Empire. K2323 was grateful for the partial return of his land, but bad ties still existed between K2323 and The Alliance.

War soon broke out. The war was led by K2323 and in opposition to The Alliance, representing magic in a crusade against technology. K2323 gathered an army of sages all over the universe of several different factions, some of which who were from his previous army. This army of sages was led by elites known as Chains, directly under K2323's command. This army went to battle, fighting mainly against Logan and inhabitants of the Lost City of Atlantis.

K2323 was getting to the point of unlocking the powers within him from the Genesis Dragon; Unsealing the White Genesis Dragon, a beast brought about from the Genesis King's powers being split into two. Half the power of the Genesis King. This power would have been destructive. It would have destroyed civilizations. However; Logan managed to stop the transformation before it got too far.

With K2323's Ace-In-The-Hole down, the Sage Army had no choice but to surrender. A treaty was worked out, and peace was soon declared. K2323 came to accept the mortal empires. He even would embrace some of their ways. The Alliance and K2323's civilization both would advance significantly because of this war.
XXXVII. Reconstruction

The Sage War left much damage, which was only in addition to damages from wars over the last ten years. The reconstruction effort was one which brought about a change in the political atmosphere of the universe. Following the Sage War, K2323 and his followers reformed with Japan as a capital. For years, K2323's kingdom had been known as the "K Kingdom" and it had now been renamed as the "K Empire". The K Empire was admitted into The Alliance after the conflicts which had surfaced in the war were settled.

The Alliance placed an outpost in Japan, and continued to place outposts on several other sage planets. The Alliance made an effort to allow for magic within society, and the sages made an effort to accept and even use technologies instead of magic. The K Empire even developed entire companies dedicated to the creation of new military technologies. While at first, the technologies brought about from these companies were weak, they would grow in development with Alliance intervention, and go on to serve the common people of most all empires throughout the universe, and it would serve as a platform which would place the K Empire as one of the most sucessful civilizations of all time with superior military strength which meshed with civilian life in perfect harmony.

As reconstruction became an effort of all parties involved, discrimination lingered still in the air, but it would diminish over
time as the two kinds learned to accept each other.
XXXVIII. Sentinel

The Sentinel were a group who Alliance explorers encountered on a moon which seemed to exhibit forms of life. The Alliance's explorers were rendered unconscious by the natives of the moon and taken to a shielded base where it was revealed that The Sentential were very advanced humans. They had ships, weapons, and a strong military. They lived cloaked on the moon, hiding so that they would not be discovered and destroyed.

The Alliance came through and met their captors, squaring things over. The Sentinel allowed the Alliance members to leave. However; this run-in had marked the beginning of a time in which the Sentinel would be aware of conflicts in the universe. As time went on, the Sentinel would become a major force in the universe.
IXL. Orpheus

"Him" had been guarded in Erebus for centuries now by one Guardian. He was named Sakael, and he was a demon who had taken a man named Orpheus as host. Sakael, upon seeing that "Him" was slowly awakening, embarked on a quest to find the other Keepers of Erebus. His quest brought him to Japan..

But in traveling between dimensions, Orpheus regained control over his body temporarily. The human met and befriended both Hikaru and K2323. These friendships allowed him to gain considerable resources and he, for a short time, took off on a quest to gain control over land.

However; slowly, the influences of Sakael began to effect Orpheus. Eventually, Sakael and Orpheus were in control of the body in harmony. They confronted K2323 over the matter, when the two engaged in a fight which took them to the K Dome. It was here that the two would fight a major battle as K2323 revealed that he needed to sacrifice Orpheus in order to gain control over a new power known as Mercury.
XL. Hikaru's Death

The Anrufe's reawakening came about upon the Kai clone, KiaB, having come out of hibernation. This brought about the Anrufe seeking to gain conquest over the universe. This was made quite possible because of newer members of the Anrufe who had been added to the organization over the last ten years. The Anrufe's conquest rapidly spread throughout the universe.

One fight which occurred in the Outerverse started off between Green Zero, son of Blue Zero, against Hikaru. Green Zero was forced to retreat, and his grandfather, Zere, took over the fight. The fight ended with the death of both Zere and Hikaru. In Hell, Hikaru confronted Lucifer himself. There, she made a deal with the serpent: She would be allowed to return to the mortal plane if she killed K2323.

And so, Hikaru returned to the mortal plane to find Sakael and K2323 fighting in the K Dome. She took over in the fight when Sakael got weak, but eventually refused to fight, demanding to know the reason for K2323's attempt at sacrifice. Instead of killing Hikaru and Sakael, the weak K2323 flew away, leaving Hikaru to heal Sakael.
XLI. Planet Star's Destruction

Logan contacted members of The Alliance with a new plan to get rid of a common enemy: The Starclan. The Starclan had served as pests in the universe for much time. Logan's plan to eliminate their kind, if successful, would destroy the empire completely. It was a failproof plan which would go down as one of the greatest military strategies of all time.

The battle started by use of shield technology deployed by ships in orbit around the planet. They shields as barriers to trap the Starclan within their home planet, Planet Star. The destruction of the planet during the Starsmens' trapping came about, and it resulted in the end of the planet. However; many of the Starclan, including Starclan leaders, survived on another Starclan planet, Dragon Moon.

XLII. "Him" Awakens Again

After Hikaru failed on her end of her deal with Lucifer, she was brought back to Hell. Sakael accompanied Hikaru in the journey to Lucifer, where he defended her. It was then that he announced to Lucifer that "Him" was reawakening. Lucifer, shocked, agreed to the terms of Sakael: Release Hikaru from Hell.

However; Lucifer changed Hikaru's 'orb of recognition', the very factor that determined her being as alive or dead. She would continue to live, but she would exist as property of hell. This factor would go forgotten for several years by all but Lucifer. Hikaru's freedom was brought about for the purpose of defeating "Him", as she had come across the magic known as Revelation Magic, the magic which was used to seal "Him".

Hikaru and Sakael later returned to Hell to rescue Zere and Chaos (who had died in battle with Sakael), both of which were dead. Lucifer agreed to release the two Keepers. The group went back to their parties and first, not yet going to reseal "Him". It was in this time that the Anrufe eventually once more made a move against Hikaru. Zere fought Hikaru in the Outerverse, and later, KiaB took over the fight. The Anrufe gained conquest over the Outerverse, and Hikaru was taken into Anrufe custody.

Hikaru ended up being traded by the Anrufe to Lucifer in exchange for a hellgate being given to the Anrufe which would allow them to summon demons at will. Hikaru figured she'd be able to easily escape hell. She forgot that she was already owned by Lucifer due to the orb of recognition she currently held. Thus, she once more was within hell, dead. She'd been tricked into death.

Sakael arrived in Hell. He had once more come to rescue Hikaru. This time, Sakael traded his own freedom for the release of Hikaru, nullifying her latest death. She would remain with a red orb of recognition, but she would be allowed to return to the Mortal Plane. Sakael would become a demon once more within Hell. However; Lucifer allowed him to go and continue his current work within Erebus. It was now time.. To reseal "Him".

Several parties ended up meeting in Erebus in order to reseal "Him" before he completely awakened. The fight was a gruesome one. Hikaru was a key element of the battle, as she was the only one who would be able to completely seal "Him", thanks to her Revelation Spellbook. Sakael and Orpheus ended up dying for Hikaru as "Him" began to awaken.

Hikaru ended the battle by using a Revelation Spell, Mark Of Eternity, which binded "Him" with chains, which would forever be controlled by a single mark on a piece of paper (which ended up in the hands of the Anrufe as it was picked up after the battle by a member of the organization). The result? "Him" transformed into a baby, a newborn.

It was decided then and there that Hikaru would raise the child. In the Outerverse, Hikaru used an aging spell to turn "Him" into a teenager. "Him" naturally absorbed information quickly, and so, after reading the entire library of the Outerverse, "Him" had the knowledge required of a sage his age, including basic motor skills. Lacking the memories of his past, he took the name Koty.

Hikaru hid the truth of Koty's existence from him, and together, the two began working together in search of fulfilling Hikaru's new goal.
XLIII. Zharael Crusades

The Zharael Empire was formed by Hikaru in an attempt to defeat the Anrufe, Hikaru having personally been captured and traded by the Anrufe themselves. She and Koty led the operation, though they gained quite a few followers. They would show up at locations which the Anrufe were invading, and stop them. There were two major battles which came about durring the Zharael Crusades.

The first battle occurred on a planet which served as a theme park. The entire planet was commercialized. The Anrufe had taken control of it and enjoyed the revenue generated by the planet. Hikaru and Koty showed up to take the planet from the Anrufe. The planet was defended by Green Zero. Koty, in battleing Green Zero, duplicated Green Zero's power, resulting in a battle of illusions.

During the course of the battle, Green Zero showed Koty bits and pieces of his past. Green Zero would die in the battle, but what he had done would result in Koty eventually regaining complete memory of his past. The theme park planet was taken by Zharael. The Anrufe had dealt a striking blow to the Zharael which would be progressive, but the Zharael would still strike blows of their own.

On a city-wide planet, Jikore battled Hikaru and Koty. The result was the complete destruction of the planet. The Anrufe was devastated. They would now pull out their ace-in-the-hole. The Mark Of Revelation. It would be with this that they would assure victory. And defeat. The Anrufe attempted to reseal Koty.

In the palace of the Outerverse, the Anrufe wanted to reseal Koty. Lucifer showed up in person in the castle, going after Koty himself, separate of the Anrufe. Even K2323 agreed that Koty needed to be resealed. Only Hikaru defended Koty. Even with Hikaru defending Koty, it seemed that Koty went suicidal and.. killed himself!? Was the pressure of regaining his memory and being threatened by several parties too much, or was he just trying to stage suicide in order to escape?

It would all be revealed. Eventually..

Meanwhile, in the wake of the destruction, the Anrufe's members went missing, their land being taken by allied Sentinel. The Zharael, its purpose complete, collapsed, with Hikaru retaking her stance as a loner in the Outerverse.
XLIV. Sons Of Plunder

One group of the Relorians, the ancient empire who had left behind some of its people before spreading out to other universes, had formed an organization within the Starclan. It was known as the Sons Of Plunder, led by the couple of Nisorin and Celestie. The two Relorians gained significant control in the Starclan government in this time.

A council came about within the Starclan government. It was known as the Starclan Council. It would govern the entirety of the Starclan. The Sons Of Plunder had significant political influence in this council. It was through their membership in the council that they began plotting.. To take over the Starclan government from the inside.

However; for now, they simply bid their time.
XLV. Triad

A discovery was made by the K Empire following the wake of much destruction. A new galaxy. The K Empire made quick claim over most of the land in this galaxy, with the Starclan taking some as well. It was here that the K Empire learned many secrets of magic which had been placed in ruins all over the galaxy by an ancient group of sages centuries ago. They learned to use the magic to their potential.

One day, the K Empire and Starclan both discovered something of significant surprise..

Koty was alive, having taken one of the planets in this galaxy.

The three parties now decided to merge. The merging of these parties brought about the formation of the Triad Empire. In just a matter of days, the Triad advanced their magic and technological strength well beyond all enemies. They made it their goal.. To destroy The Alliance. They would use the K Empire's membership to achieve this goal.
XLVI. Fighting The Alliance

The war between the Triad and the Alliance came about when the Triad staged the destruction of an Alliance base on Japan. It was planed thoroughly. The execution would be handled by Koty and K2323 alone. They arrived near the base, K2323 acting as if he were taking a tour of the facilities. In the tour, he placed several bombs around the complex, only to be detonated by remote.

After K2323 left the facility, Koty destroyed it. This was the start of a short-lived war between the Triad and The Alliance.
XLVII. Triad Collapses

The Triad Empire collapsed at some point shortly after formation, ending their war with the Alliance. Koty created Nox by turning his soul, the organ that produced all magic within his body, into a dimension; He placed the gate to Nox on a planet under Anrufe control. The K Empire, meanwhile, gained an influx in land, and the Starclan began to focus on dealing with a high-level threat named Bane.
XLVIII. Bane

A foe named Bane made trouble within the Starclan for much time after the collapse of the Triad. Many blades, the military of the Starclan, could not defeat him. Bane's existence was troublesome for many within the Starclan. Eventually, an emergancy meeting of the Starclan Council was called to discuss ways to beat Bane, though no solution was found.
IL. Redclan War

The Starclan had been opposed by quite a few underground groups who plotted their destruction. Examples of this group were the Freedomclan and Blackclan. Neither suceeded in their goals immediately, as they never took direct action, but instead plotted by secretive means. The K Empire, in opposition to Starclan policies, battled the Starclan by creating a new branch of their military, the Redclan, aimed at completely destroying the Starclan.

The Redclan War was a series of battles between the Starclan and Redclan. The Starclan actually advanced well beyond normal standards in the war. They eventually managed to strip the K Empire of almost all of their land. They, at one point, only had one planet to call home. However; the Redclan eventually reversed the tides of war and retook much of their own land. The war raged on as, at the same time, a new threat was born.
L. Artificial Intelegence

A group of Artificial Intelligence beings began to take control over land in a foreign galaxy. The Alliance spread the news of the conquest of the group. Many empires began to prepare incase the AI traveled closer to home. There were several countermeasures put in place by different empires. It showed the true technolgical strength of many empires.

The Alliance began to increase security and work on ways of minimizing transportation. The K Empire, despite its ongoing war with the Starclan, built two humanoid AIs to battle the enemy AI if necessary, using K2323's DNA to create the beings. Other empires began to mobablize troups. If battle came, all empires would be ready. Luckily, the battle never spread far from the foreign galaxy it had started in, far away.
LI. End Of The Redclan War

The Redclan War had raged on for awhile now. It finally ended upon K2323's visiting Dragon Moon to settle things once and for all. He there met in the Blade Academy, meeting place of the Starclan Council, with the Council Members. He came to meet the members of the Sons Of Plunder for the first time. He also came to learn of the threat named Bane.

In the council, the scores of war were settled. As an act of good faith, K2323 aided in the capture and defeat of Bane. The Redclan War was over.
LII. Xanacore's Return
The year was 2043. The K Empire denounced their old purpose of exterminating the Starclan and military focus returned to its usual aspects of monitoring trade routes and such. K2323, one night, was visiting the K Archives, an extensive library of information, much of it relating to magic. While there, an old friend showed up.. Xanacore, the general who had been absent for the last two years.

During this reunion, someone else showed up. K2323's sister-in-law. The two exchanged words briefly, but rivalry was in the air. Faith believed that K2323 had killed her sister. And it was obvious that with her around, trouble was to be expected. She made sure of this by secretly activating an ancient curse deep within Xanacore, giving her control of his will.

In the days that followed, Xanacore, once more K2323's general, was a vassal of the K Empire, and established a kingdom for himself which he named Xanacoria. The Xanacoria Kingdom, under K Empire law, swept across the galaxy and gained much political power within the K Empire. However; in all actuality, Xanacore was serving another. Faith.
LIII. New Anrufe Empire
It was clear that Faith did not come to cause trouble for K2323; She had another motive. As it turns out, she was under instructions of the missing Anrufe leader, KiaB, to come and prepare a new power for the Anrufe. An empire, not just an organization. And so, the New Anrufe Empire, a factional empire, was born, with Faith leading the initial faction.

The New Anrufe Empire caused trouble for many, and eventually grew beyond belief. Xanacore, who had secretly been serving Faith, eventually rose to power within this empire. He would eventually go on to lead the second faction of this empire in secret. Xanacore also, in this time, experimented heavily with clones. The New Anrufe Empire's formation brought about fear to all.
LIV. Relorian Independence
The Sons Of Plunder, the Relorians who were within the Starclan, had achieved political control within the Starclan at significant level. For over a year now, they had been preparing to take the Starclan from the inside. A coup. It was in 2043 that they were ready. The Relorian Independence from the Starclan would go beyond becoming seperate of the enity -- it would mean the complete dominance and end of the Starclan government.

It was on an ocean planet owned by the Starclan that the coup first started. The result was a battle between the Sons Of Plunder and Starclan forces. The Sons Of Plunder overtook the Starclan and eventually took control of its entire government. Dragon Moon was no longer the capital of the Starclan; It was the capital of the Relorian Empire.

While most of the Starclan's people were free to join the Relorian Empire, the royal Star family objected the takeover. Several factions began to develop within Starclan society, with the Star family at the head of the movements. Resistance. This ideal would result in the people's name being given by other governments: The Rebel Starclan.
LV. Rebel Starclan
In the days following Reloria's coming to power, the Rebel Starclan made their moves against the Relorian Government. The skirmishes between the two would eventually, though, come to an end. The Rebel Starclan, bitter in defeat, began to ally themselves with new parties. One such party was Faith's faction of the Anrufe, who the Rebel Starclan came to serve when several of their leaders became vassals of Faith.

There was a particular skirmish between the Rebel Starclan and Xanacoria. After the Xanacorians came to possess blueprints of technology being designed by the Rebel Starclan, tension rose. The Rebel Starclan and Xanacoria engaged in hostile action. Neither the K Empire or Faith's faction of the Anrufe came to represent their parties. This resulted in the Xanacorian's deceleration of war: The Black Crusades, an attempt to end rebel insurgency which ended up turning into a massacre on the level of genocide.

The Black Crusades' participants varied. The main participants in these assaults were the K Empire and its kingdom (which was basically a citystate), Xanacoria. It was about this time that Xanacore took charge of his own faction of the New Anrufe Empire. Following this time, Faith's faction of the New Anrufe Empire harbored many of the Rebel Starclan and would grant them land and stakes of the empire upon Faith's removal from power in exchange for their loyal services. When this deal ended, the Black Crusades would almost cause a complete genocide of the Starclan race.
LVI. Planet Star's Reformation

One territory which came to interest in the Black Crusades was the destroyed Starclan world of Planet Star, having been loss two years before by the Alliance's crusade against the Starclan. This planet was reformed during the Black Crusades. By use of spells, the rocks and debris from the area was taken and formed into a new planet. More advanced spells even allowed the area around the space of the planet to change to resemble its old form. And thus, a new Planet Star was formed, almost identical to the old one.. Under K Empire control.
LVII. End Of The Starclan
The Black Crusades charged on for several days. It's end finally came about within a series of attacks on the old regime leaders. The Royal Star family's top members were found and eliminated. Many times, this was a difficult task, as the Starclan had experimented much with cloning technology. Because of this, they often had 'backups' of their leaders which they used as artificial bodies. However; in the end, the Starclan was eliminated.

Faith, Xanacore, and K2323 -- despite any disagreements between parties -- joined together in Boarder Land to eliminate the last of the Royal Star Family. They brought in many members of the Starclan's royal family and executed them. Some parties were more aggressive, while others suggested imprisonment. The end result, though, was the death of almost every member of the Starclan race.
LVIII. Forgotten Empire
Koty, over the years, had given birth to three sons. His sons were born from his form. An aspect of his being was taken from him for every son born, and this aspect was used to create said son. His third son, Vincent, was alive with Koty in Nox. Vincent came from Nox to the empires to create his own empire to represent his father in the dimension.. And his army was an army of risen soldiers which he used necromancy to give life once more to, under his will.

The Forgotten Empire was what it was called. It took a hold of many planets. In its first few weeks, it grew to be a very successful empire. It made use of advanced technologies to do its bidding, in addition to magic. In its first few weeks, it successfully created a fleet of ships which could travel between galaxies. With this surplus in technology, the Forgotten Empire crushed owners of planets it wanted to acquire, taking the planets for themselves.

The Forgotten Empire even traveled to the New Anrufe Empire (under Faith)'s base, where they encountered Faith. They erased her memories and took her to K2323, her brother-in-law, removing her from power of her soldiers. With that done, Faith was left powerless, and the Forgotten Empire was well underway to formation.
LIX. Zirridian's Return: Twilight Reformation
Zirridian.. Founder of the Twilight Empire, long gone in another galaxy.

In the year 2043, he returned to take his throne. His arrival was upon good timing on his part. The Twilight Empire's government was in turmoil when he came back to it. It gave him the perfect opportunity to take his thrown and begin conquest, as he had planned to do for years. The fascist ideals of the Twilight Empire under this new regime gave it the chance to create new technologies to encourage its expansion in terms of physical, geological boundaries and the realm which the government of the Twilight Empire incorporated.

By 2043, Derek had mysteriously vanished. Rumors quickly spread among the people that a new government had taken charge. This new government came to surface soon enough. When it was revealed that Zirridian, founder of the Twilight Empire, was the one who had taken hold of the government, it all became clear. With the Twilight Empire in understanding of their leader, they followed his orders and began to advance the military through use of science and magic.

When the Twilight Empire began its military campaign of expanding its borders, other empires reacted. They began to secure their borders and defenses. A number of skirmishes occurred between the Twilight Empire and opposing factions. Among these opposing factions were the Relorians, The Forgotten Empire, and Alliance Empires. The Twilight Empire survived these skirmishes and showed their military strength through use of several technologies. Their magic was also great as they had spent years training their military in magic.

The Twilight's main weapon was an energy known as Twilight Energy. This energy, found naturally in the galaxy Zirridian had been away in, converted matter which it came into contact with into Twilight Energy itself. Thus, it replicated by eating matter. It was used in most of the Twilight Empire's weapons. Sometimes, raw Twilight Energy would be used on planets, turning the planets into Twilight Energy entirely.

The Twilight Empire was back, and they were a force to be reckoned with.
LX. Forgotten Empire Faces The Twilight Empire
Following Twilight conquest in much of the universe, the Forgotten Empire fought the newly-reformed empire quite a few times. Their fights caused an advance in both empires' military and caused an advance in science as well. The situation can be compared to a cold war of sorts. However; violence did occur between the two parties. Hostile meetings caused both societies to further their conquest of the universe.

To fight the Twilight Empire, the Forgotten Empire made use of an energy with ties to Nox. It came to be known as Dusk Energy, as its effects were similar to the Twilight Energy, only with a much darker signature. The energies, when in combat, negated each other. This Dusk Energy would come to be a central element in fights between the Forgotten Empire and the Twilight Empire. Their rivalry allowed production for Dusk Energy and Twilight Energy alike to skyrocket within their respective empires.

The Twilight Empire led advancements in ship technology during this period, though the Forgotten Empire's fleet technology advanced significantly as well. In this period, the Twilight Empire came up with several ship designs (such as the class "Twilight", a standard battleship) which rivaled other empire designs. They were able to successfully take much of the universe by storm. Their advancements allowed them much leverage over the Forgotten Empire, even when in combat against Dusk Energy.

Flood was a well-known class of Twilight ships. It was a ship shaped much like a donuts, round with a gap in its center. This gap would be replaced with a portal when the Flood turned on the specific function known as flooding. This portal would release tons of water from supplies in pocket dimensions completely filled with water. This water would flood entire planets, killing life on it and allowing for an easier invasion of the planet. The Twilight Empire flooded its foes, giving it the ability to win many battles.

As ship design increased, the Forgotten Empire found itself soon without a leader.

LXI. Relorian Diplomacy
With the Relorian Empire now stable and not facing resistance from rebel Starclan (many of the surviving Starclan had settled within Relorian Empire), it began to advance itself politically among the stars. In its coup, it had received support and recognition from several parties. These parties included the K Empire, New Anrufe Empire, and many others. The Relorian Empire began to meet with these empires and form alliances. These alliances would come in handy in later times.

Typically, leaders such as Nisorin and Celestie met with other empire leaders, going from empire-to-empire to discuss diplomacy. These leaders would meet in conference before feasts or drinks of some sorts. Terms of alliances would be made. Topics of the empires would be discussed. The empires got to know each other.

The Alliance Empires came to be good friends with Relorians. The Relorian Empire never officially became a member of the Alliance, though it was often considered by some as a member. Its affiliates within the Alliance gave it a chance to have ties within the organizations that ran it. This gave the Relorian Empire recognition by many others throughout the universe who were not affiliated with The Alliance, such as the New Anrufe Empire's factions and the K Empire.

Reloria would hold tight to it's alliances, and in due time, this would be of central importance to their survival; In the meanwhile, it gave them access to several planets which they peacefully became the government of.

LXII. The Forgotten Empire's Fall And Rebirth
Vincent was soon called back to Nox to help rule it. His departure meant the Forgotten Empire would soon have to find a new leader. Foju, Vincent's general, spoke up and took the job. His rise to power brought about several changes to government policies. In almost every way, it was a new government. And so, it came to be known as the Remnant Empire, as it rose from the remnants of The Forgotten Empire, taking most of its power for itself, and generally becoming stronger than its past entity.

The Remnant Empire was almost entirely in political turmoil. Foju achieved dominance by ending all fights within respective political branches. Operations of the Remnant Empire were closely monitored, and the Remnant Empire often acted more like an organization than an empire. Its leaders, below Foju, were a general known as The Commander, a nurse who acted as chief medical adviser, and several soldiers.

The Remnant Empire had completed its formation, and this would give them the opportunity to fight their rivals, the Twilight Empire, as their production of Dusk Energy and products based off the energy continued, continuing where The Forgotten Empire left off in its collapse.

LXIII. Army Of One
Following the fall of Rebel Starclan activity, a political activist named Lord Montreal took action. Lord Montreal had been developing a technique which used inner-emotions to power energy-based attacks around the Fist, known as Fist Techniques. Lord Montreal used his Fist Techniques to gain support in building a new empire. This new empire, similar to the Starclan who Lord Montreal had great admiration for, came to be known as the Army Of One.

The Army Of One became a target in the view of several different parties. It was thought that they were a continuation of the Starclan by non-Starclan societies. This made them a target by several parties. They avoided persecution by advancing their skills. This allowed them to gain some political recognition, though they were mostly overlooked for the majority of the empire's short life.

With most everyone overlooking their existence, the Army Of One began to build. The result was an impressive fleet which was easily at their disposal.

LXIV. Xanacorian Empire
The Kingdom Of Xanacoria had existed for some time in peace under the K Empire, though by mid-2043 it was reaching its limits of political submission. Its people were speaking of rebellion. Xanacore, who had secretly been operating Xanacoria as a faction of the New Anrufe Empire in addition to a kingdom of the K Empire, knew it was time to take action. He began to organize his military for an invasion of the K Empire. His plan was to come into action when he met with K2323 at the K Dome..

However; the meeting between K2323 and Xanacoria brought about another scene before K2323 even learned of the planned invasion. K2323 told Xanacore that he was leaving and that Xanacore would now be the leader of the K Empire. K2323 was going to stop evil within the Twilight Empire.. An evil strong enough to threaten the entire dimension. To threaten everybody.

As it turned out, K2323 had come across intel that Zirridian was creating a bridge of darkness from the kingdoms to some source of great power. If this bridge was completed, it would threaten everyone within the empires. K2323 took off to destroy this bridge by traveling to the edge of the dimension where Zirridian had built a door of some sorts to this darkness. When K2323 finally reached this bridge, he battled Zirridian face-to-face..

The bridge was destroyed, and K2323 died in battle, but Zirridian survived and was well alive. He returned to the empires to find that Xanacore had combined his faction of the Anrufe with the K Empire, bringing about the formation of the Xanacorian Empire. And as for K2323? He had entrusted his Genesis Magic to the least likely of people, to be his once more upon his return, if it ever occurred: His father, Chaos.

LXV. Leadership Within The Xanacorian Empire
A series of leadership changed occurred throughout the times of the Xanacorian Empire. These changes would cause the Xanacorian Government to be viewed often as unstable. These changes in leadership would result in a complete renovation of the government by the start of the next decade. This new Xanacorian government would split into two separate parties and split the government in two.

These events began to occur following the battle between K2323 and Zirridian. In the wake of the battle, a somewhat supernatural creature was born, a mixture of chaos and order. This figure would be called Dmitri. Dmitri was a creature of absolute insanity. He helped give birth to an uprising in Japan which dethrowned Xanacore and many of his clones.

One leader who eventually came to power was a perfect clone of Xanacore, named Xanacore MKII, or XCMKII. XCMKII led the Xanacorian people to great reform. This reform would allow the people of Xanacoria a chance of survival. However; XCMKII was killed in a deadly battle alongside Relorian brothers by a Rebel Starclanner in a battle over..

Dragon Moon.

LXVI. Battle Of Dragon Moon
After skirmishes with both The Alliance and The Remnants, The Twilight Empire seeked to gain allies. It turned its attention to the Xanacorian faction of the New Anrufe Empire. A meeting took place on a large civilian ship named Rabbit Lorian owned by the Xanacorian Empire. Diplomatic relations did not go well and the meeting was adjourning early when Zirridian found himself being killed.. by himself.

Zirridian, after all, had been a man who had come from an alternate future timeline and ended up getting trapped within the present timeline. He had then started the Twilight Empire. The Zirridian who belonged to the present timeline found out about all of this and developed a plan to take the empire from his alternative-counterpart. On Rabbit Lorian, Zirridian killed the Zirridian who had started the Twilight Empire and took the empire for himself.

Following this historic moment on the Rabbit Lorian, the new Zirridian declared the Twilight Empire's new goal was to completely destroy the Relorian Empire, a supporter of the Alliance and ally of the Xanacorian Empire. A great number of Twilight ships took off to Dragon Moon for battle. Starting with an air assault, they quickly had an advantage over the Relorian Empire. The Relorian Empire's ground response was quick and efficient, but they took several minutes after attack to get birds in the air.

Later, men were dropped onto the ground and quickly scattered ground patrol allowing for effective invasion on the ground. With ground forces in combat, the Twilight Empire found its ships fighting several parties, including The Alliance. One Twilight ship, heavily guarded, was trying to penetrate the crust of the Earth.. And the mantle, all the way to the core.

When it became clear that the Relorians were gaining an advantage over the Twilight Empire on the ground, the Twilight Empire unleashed a secret weapon.. Zirridian began to transform into a completely giant beast. However; In the middle of transformation, Relorians made an attack which crippled the transformation process and turned Zirridian into complete smoke. This smoke floated away just in time as the Twilight Empire destroyed Dragon Moon, most of its inhabitants having been already evacuated by help.

This was the blow that would send the Relorian Empire spiraling down for the next decade.

LXVII. Formation Of The Nyx Federation
Following the Battle Of Dragon Moon, Zirridian could not be found. In his absence, three of his most trusted advisors took over for a short time. However; it was upon the decision that his return would not be swift, it was declared that the prince of the Twilight Empire was to rise to power. Valentine White, son of Zirridian, became the king. As king of the Twilight Empire, Valentine continued his father's crusade against the Alliance.

The fighting against the empire only escalated to a point of war. The Alliance was also fighting the Remnants, led by Foju. With the battles at a high-point, it ultimately came down to a truce between the Twilight and Remnants.. And in the middle of battle against the Alliance, this truce saved both factions. Their allying would lead to the formation of a federation..

It was decided that the two parties would merge into a single political entity, led by a ruling council. Valentine and Foju were the first two members of this council. With Nyx formed, the governments merged.. And so did the technologies of the empires. Nyx Technology began to develop as the Remnants and Twilight combined their resources. In the end, a new energy was created by merging Twilight and Dusk Energy. It was named Nyx Energy.

The Nyx Federation had been formed, and the Alliance would stand no chance. But the Nyx Federation was not done forming.

LXVIII. The Zirridian Merging
Slowly but surely, Faith had regained much of her memory, and gathered followers once more. She managed to not attract too much attention to herself. This allowed her much room to do as she liked. She did not conquer in big, flashy shows, but quietly took over planets. The New Anrufe Empire was on its way to rising again.

Meanwhile, following the Battle Of Dragon Moon, Zirridian, as black smoke, floated through the dead of space to a place which he had kept hidden for much time. A place of Twilight Energy. Inside this realm, he floated as smoke for much time.. Before he met another man floating in the Twilight Energy.. The two merged, becoming one. Zirridian had gained the ability to merge into bodies at will.

This new Zirridian traveled back to the mortal plane. Once there, he arrived at a location... which just-so-happened to be where Faith was currently living. Once Zirridian realized this, he floated to her bedroom where she was sleeping and merged his form with her. Now, three personas were one as Zirridian's final merge was complete. Zirridian was the new leader of a faction of the New Anrufe Empire... But this would not last for long.

[K2]

LXIX. The Nyx War Begins At The Battle Of Border Line
Upon hearing of the formation of the Nyx Federation, Zirridian went before his son and Foju and declared his identity. With this deceleration, he requested that the New Anrufe Empire be allowed to also merge into the government of Nyx. His request was approved. The Nyx's final member-empire became one with the other two empires. The Nyx Federation, now with five members in its ruling council (Foju, Valentine, Zirridian, KiaB, and an alchemist scientist), began to focus on what mattered most.. The war against The Alliance.

Plans of war surely were in the making, and for The Alliance, it would be a disaster. The Nyx Federation's fleet began to increase exponentially. The Alliance began to patch up disagreements with certain empires in order to recruit troops for a war to come. Mobilization began to occur on both sides. Troops were prepared. This was going to be ugly.

Finally, it arrived, as a fourth of the Nyx Fleet arrived over Border Line, headquarters of The Alliance. It was late 2043 at the time, and the new year was approaching quickly by universal time standards. Four Twilight Class Warships, a Faith Class, Two Remnant Classes, Two Flood Classes, Two Umbra Classes, and a carrier class with a permanent crew arrived. Each of these ships began to broadcast a new Nyx Technology field. Hyperspace Disruption, which prevented ships from hyperdriving within a large radius of the battle; It would take a ship several hours to arrive to the battle by normal space travel from outside the field.

The Nyx Ships began to fire energy-based attacks on the planet below. Nyx fighters were released to the planet below, where they began to storm the planet, attacking. In response, the Alliance ships which were in orbit around the planet began to fire at the Nyx Ships with their new energy beams. They released several fighters from a carrier class of their own. Rail-Guns also were used in resistance, and drones were used to attack as well.

The rest of the Nyx Fleet arrived, using the Nyx alternative to hyperspace, known as Drift Space. They began to fire ballistic shells at the enemy, doing significant amounts of damage, especially when compared to energy-based weapons. A special team of Nyx soldiers on the ground began to open a portal to a blackhole. The entire planet below began to be flooded with 'Nyx Water' which would allow Nyx Ships to use the planet to repair themselves.

This was the beginning of a great fight....

In the end, the planet was completely destroyed by the Nyx, blown up. Significant losses existed on the Alliance side, but the Nyx still had several ships. The Nyx War had just begun, and it was bound to be destructive. For everyone. This would be known to all as one of the bloodiest fights of the dimension.

LXX. Battle Of The Cross-G Cannon
The second battle of the Nyx War came as a reply from The Alliance regarding the destruction of their headquarters. They sent ships to the galaxy which the Nyx Federation was based out of, far from the Milky Way. Upon arriving near the Nyx's capital planet, they found themselves being attacked by a super-weapon... The Cross-G Cannon, the Nyx's ultimate defense weapon. It shot entire ships out of the sky.

The Aralangs quickly learned to adapt to the Cross-G Cannon and bypass much of its power. It was then that Nyx starships and fighters were deployed to assist in the battle. Many of the councilmembers of the Nyx Federation helped lead the battle. In the end, the Alliance retreated, and the Cross-G Cannon was safe, but the Aralangs had acquired samples of Nyx technologies as well.

Despite the outcome of the battle, this fight gave Alliance members hope that they would be victorious by the end of the war, and they kept fighting.. And fighting. And fighting.

LXX. Return Of The Anrufe And Koty
The rest of the Anrufe organization, without KiaB, had been following the leadership of Chaos. They eventually decided to return to the dimension, arriving in the Outerverse. There, Chaos alone went to a stone statue of Koty which stood in the Outerverse and placed the Genesis Staff in its hands. This awakened Koty, the statue becoming Koty once more. It was then that the other members of the Anrufe arrived on the cliff where Chaos and Koty stood.

The members of the Anrufe reminded Chaos that Koty was there enemy, and Koty warned Chaos that he should leave. The Anrufe took off as Koty hardened a protective barrier of sorts made of plasma around the Outerverse. It would be well protected. And the Anrufe were off to reclaim their land in Ground Island... And to wait out the Nyx War quietly.

LXX. Conclusion (Part 2)
The Nyx War occurred for a number of years, but it eventually ended. Its outcome? Both the Nyx Federation and The Alliance disbanded. The Alliance members saw that The Alliance had become corrupt over the last several years. The Nyx Federation grew weak as its leaders went separate ways.

This was the end of an epic legacy, this war. A legacy of flying magic-users and a legacy of flying ships. A legacy of magic and a legacy of technology. A legacy of learning and a legacy of love. The time following the Nyx War saw a great peace that the dimension had not known in years. The years would be remembered by many. The good, the bad, and everything in between.

But this was just the beginning of the story. Part Three is now. Part Three is yours to write. Parts One and Two just introduced the story, but the story's prime? That comes next, and that's being written now. It's being written by you roleplayers. And it's named Shattered Planes.
