Chapter One: The War

Time had no value since the earth was abandoned long ago. It was useless as men no longer needed sunlight or the moon and the two races were born from one. They separated  in the hopes of keeping peace; however that did not work, because after splitting though the vortex between Magic and The Space Age,as they fight a war for glory, infinite power, and the Qobar. As Kyro the magician, seeks for the Qobar, Zhuux is still amidst the battle.

The Qobar was discovered by the human race, but little did they know the power within. They called it the Emerald of Fortune, and thought of it as another fountain of Youth myth. Yet, there was only one left within the vast space and time of the universe.

The lights flashed like steel, and fires bloomed like flowers, and the rain fell upon their

face like soft taps. Men screamed in pain, fury, and honor. It was a fight for reputation and glory. The defeated shall bring shame upon their family and the victors shall rise up to the heavens up above. This, however was not a civil war, This was known as The Seventy Year War of 403B, the stepping stone necessary to achieve a title that no mortal deserved. 

Legend has it that as soon as you break from the vortex, you can find a land of lush grass and singing angels. Yet, even with these Beauties, it says that even more dangers are there, waiting to devour anyone who dares put a foot on the carnivorous land. The plane was merely the first stepping stone to get to  the gem. Now, adventures await as mystery, dangers and adventure unfolds.

“Heal me! We can push off the right! Don’t let up!” The war effort was tiring. Seventy years of fighting has worn out the bruised-purple vortex connecting the two worlds as one. This could have meant peace, but peace was not an option. Blood and tears were mercilessly shed in front of the eyes of many men and women. Death was nothing. It controlled nothing in the eyes of the warriors, since their eyes looked upon one thing only, the Qobar. This was the battle of Plane 403B. Earning this ground would mean a higher chance of swiping the treasure. It was gruesome, with many lives lost.Yet, two heroes escape the battle and thrust themselves into much danger to end the war.

Thunder was booming, the vortex was spinning and the ground shook at the sound of guns firing. One mage punches the ground creating an impact that shakes the vortex. The air becomes thinner. The Champion, Zhuux was a handsome marine, ranked highest in his league.

“Crap, I’m out of ammo, GUARD ME, SOLDIER!” As Zhuux was running to get back to his ship, the Hecate, he got shot right before entering starboard. He hits the ground with a painful fall. An enormous gash appears on his shoulder and face. His nose starts to bleed. It was too quick, and he was fading quickly. Suddenly,a figure rose up and put him in the air and yelled with a deep voice, “ZENOBIA!”

“Let me into the armory, you b*****d, and I’ll shoot your a*s off!” But, his threats were empty as he levitated in the air, high above the ground.

“No… stop. Don’t….. come near me....” A tall figure swooshed down upon the figure. In a flash, Zhuux experienced a gut twisting moment of pain. It continued for a couple seconds but all was over when he awoke on a soft bed, upon the Hecate. 

“Where am I? What happened to me? WHO’S MANNING THE SHIP?”

“Sit down, you ungrateful bloodthirsty pig. Call me Kyro. I am your rescuer, and your freakin’ alive ‘cause of me. You’re very lucky to be alive” Zhuux spat on the floor. 

“Where are my units?” Zhuux glared at the man.

“Forget them, but what are you?”

“I’m a damn warlock, do you have any sense? I should have healed you and your body but I don’t know about your dimwitted brain. I think it might be permanently damaged . Now, man your own damn ship.” The space marine viciously scowled at the warlock and lumbered to the flight deck. He remains silent for a few moments then grumbled,“ What do you want and why did you save me from the gunshot?”

“Screw you, you know what I want. You know what we both want.” They glared at each other for a minute. Each were from a different race, but they make a connection.

“Are you kidding me?, You drag me out for nothing. I care nothing for the Qobar. It belongs to our race! I was fighting the war for my race, and now I’m here. Thanks a lot. Why do you want help me to get the Qobar, ya b*****d”

“Shut up and listen. The Qobar is more powerful than you think, It contains the imagination of the universe, and its darkest deepest desires. Achieving it brings you happiness the universe craves.”

 “What is this imagination you speak of?” 

“Well this imagination is more grand than my magic. I only want it to end the war. Do you not want to end the war? Literally, imagine the war stopping, the gem lets you do that.” The words rang in Zhuux’s ear like a bell. This would mean his struggle would end. His agonizing pain would vanish.

“Will the war end? If I steal the gem will my sufferings be over? Can I return to my family?”

“Yes, so help me clean up this madness.”, said Kyro. “Let us know each other well.” And so, the two talked about themselves with much pride and honor. Kyro was the son of Trine, the King of Magic. His family was rich, but like Buddha he lived his life as a poor man. He seeked his identity, and fueled his ability to create magic. He meditated and practiced. He was an isolated man, until the war came. He was called upon the front lines as a defensive player in the army, a suicidal position. Yet, he fought, determined to live.

Zhuux was son of Borgog, Commander of the galactic naval force, He was the general of seventeen ships. He left his family to contribute towards the war effort when he was only 10 years old. He had no place anymore since the Kingdom of Magic destroyed his hometown. So he wanted to start a new life!

Suddenly, there came a loud flash and a bang. The world spun around them like a whirlwind.

“I TOLD YOU TO MAN YOUR DAMN SHIP, YOU B*****D!”

“SHUT UP!” Faster than the speed of light, the scene shifts. The Hecate had hit a green surface with a back-crunching impact and both of the passengers were in a daze. High in the air above the ship, a large figure was visible. The figure started its descent as the passengers of the Hecate started their awakening. The wind blew harshly as gray fog covered the clear blue sky. 

The old warlock was the first to awaken and shook the warrior awake. A once beautiful scene abruptly turned into a murder land. As they dreaded for whats to come, the figure found its way down to the surface and confronts the strangers..

“What the hell are you supposed to be?” 

“I come with a warning, ungrateful man. Beware the beast that lingers in the forest ahead you. One thing shall greet you with a knife in his right hand and poison in the other. Make a wise choice. He will not kill you, but leave you in…”

“Shut up. We’ll do this on our own.”

“Do not be so egoistic, and open your eyes to the dangers around you. He will leave you in pure agony and take an arm. I still feel his silver blade slicing through me, daily. Every day I wake up, my leg snaps, and my back breaks. Everyday will be agony if you do not escape this land quickly. Beware.”

With a sudden BOP the ghostly man disappeared. The sky gradually colored a warm blue, and the grass was nice and soft. Zhuux said grimly, “We better start moving. Hand me my rifle.” As Zhuux slung his rifle over his shoulder, he felt a different weight on his shoulder. Energy seemed to be going overdrive on his firearm as he rested his finger on the heavy trigger. He muttered, “What d’ya do to my gun?” Kyro smirks and mutters back, “Magic.” Zhuux smiles and says, “Screw you.” Zhuux, however, knows nothing about magic and interrogates, “Show me how to use it; how does this magic work?”

“Its quite simple, just channel your mental and physical energy into your barrel. A burst of energy should erupt, but you should feel tired after every shot.”

“Whatever”

As they walked out of the ship, Kyro spotted something in the grave forest and exclaimed, “Look over there!” I believe I see something.” Zhuux grabs his handgun and had it loaded, ready to fire. A flash of red eyes appeared in the darkness. They counted not one but, two, three, four, five, sets of vicious eyes. Zhuux started to aim his handgun at the red eyes, right before firing the shot. One of his units came out, a part cyborg. 

"What the crap happened to you Sargent?" Zhuux was shocked to see one of his units turn from his ships. “

“How did you end up here?”

 “Well, I was in the battle with you, and then a big bang happened. I saw that vortex falling apart, it was shrinking, sir. So, I jumped into the Hecate, and I was about to come out of the cabinet, but the ship lurched, sir.”

“That would’ve been your general’s crappy steering.”

“Shut the hell up."

“Glad you’re here, mate.” And, with that, the ventured into the dark, green forest in front. 

“Lets get a move on!” As they walked through the dark green forest. They found a lost spaceship that was crashed into a huge pit. Zhuux hopped on down the pit. As he gradually goes down the pit. Zhuux pulls out his flashlight, Then he starts to go through the abandoned spaceship. As he got inside the ship! He saw the dull, worn out name engraved into the side. Her name was the MASTER HECATE. Zhuux asked, the cyborg. Suddenly Kyro starts to examine the ship, Kyro mentioned, “We’re not the first to attempt to find the Qobar. Obviously these lads have failed.” As Zhuux was going through the ruins of the ship, He finds a shredded uniform. Zhuux’s examined it and noticed that it was one his space uniforms, But it was a higher class uniform. More zhuux examines it more, "This was my fathers space uniform!" 

As Zhuux goes through the ship, he sees the ruins inside it. He muttered, “One of my father’s ships.” A ghostly feeling goes through the ship as a chill goes down their spine. A light bulb falls down onto the floor and  Kyro went to checks the cockpit, to see if anything is there. As Kyro approached the door, He noticed that the door was locked. Kyro yelled  “abierto” Which means open in spanish. Then, the door instantaneously opens. There was a millisecond of silence, then a burst of heat and light radiates the room. They all shield their eyes from light and sweat. Once the flame dies, the light dims and they find another unit from neither space age or magic ancestry. None have dared to use any form of fire, because of the unspoken rule of not doing so.

“Wha---? Show yourself!”, yelled Zhuux.

“The name’s Jyotika, dimwit.” The figure stands in a large calm column of blue fire. As he uges the flames to die out, he steps towards them. He was a tall slim figure with a ghostly look on his face. One may call him handsome, but that is irrelevant.

“What are you two doing here?”

“We just found it. This is my father’s ship.”

“Come with us, seek for the Qobar.”
