Things were looking grim for the inhabitants of Khazan. The combined heroes of the realms tried to repel the War World forces, but for every one slain, twenty were ready to take its place. The champions were fighting a losing battle, and Khazan was paying the price as aliens were razing the city to the charred earth. And overhead, the ominous War World loomed ever closer.
Far from both Khazan and War World, another planet was slowly settling in an orbit around both. This new planet was a dull red in color, with no life on its surface and a great crack on its surface, looking like a six-sided star. Inside the crack, the planet was hollow, with long-dormant volcanoes and fields of frozen lava peppered the interior landscape. In the center of all, was a great tower. Inside this tower, mechanical devices buzzed, and robots performed their tasks for their master, the only lifeform in this place.
DeMonStar.
Created from genetic material from the criminal overlord MonStar, DeMonStar was designed to improve upon MonStar’s genetic material and make a being better than he. Stronger and smarter than his late “father”, DeMonStar had no interest in picking up the remains of MonStar’s criminal empire, rather he desired to improve himself and become a perfect being. In the ten years from his creation to this point, he already figured out a means to travel between dimensions. Now, he settled in his throne, viewing the two planets on a viewscreen.
“Computer”, he quietly said, “Identify the two planets.”
Analyzing…Analysis complete
Planet A, Khazan. Planet is situated on a multidemsional crossrift. Elements from other dimensions can interact with elements from Khazan itself or other dimensional elements. Travel from other dimensions from Khazan is possible.
“Interesting. And the other planet?”
Planet B, War World. Planet has been converted to battle platform. Inhabited by countless races and possesses near-infinite technology.
DeMonStar grew interested as he read the descriptions of the two planets. Near infinite technology and interdimensional travel were at his grasp.
“Computer, list probability that either Khazan or War World has capability to locate and retrieve the Moon Star of Limbo.”
Calculating…Calculations complete. Probability that resources from Khazan and War World can retrieve Moon Star, eighty percent.
Finally, he thought to himself, my birthright will be mine! With the powers of the Light of the Moon Star, he would bring his body one step closer to perfection. The time to act was now. He know that a direct confrontation upon either Khazan or War World would be folly, so subterfuge would have to be in order.
“Computer”, his voice rang out, “send a swarm of nano-probes to Khazan and War World. Have them analyze any areas, peoples, and technologies of importance, and report their data back here.”
Affirmative
From the tower, microscopic machines flew out towards the crack in the planet. As they reached the outer atmosphere, they scattered, and began the journey to Khazan and War World.
“Also, send out a fleet of Aero-Drones to guard the planet. If either planet discovers me, I must protect myself.”
Affirmative
From deep fields within the core of the planet, countless heavily armed flying machines swarmed from their docking bays and began to orbit the planets’ surface.
From his throne, DeMonStar watched the two planets on viewscreen. Soon, he shall have the power to reclaim his birthright. He shall improve his already impressive person, and becomes that much closer to perfection.
“Computer, I’m going to practice fighting. Inform me if anything of interest happens.”
Affirmative
