This promises to be a long one.
Prologue
An Unknown Galaxy
20-something years ago…
As a nearby nebula burnt a beautiful colour of violet, there was a major battle happening on the nearby planet of Serene. Alien ships swarmed round it like wasps, some were black and shaped like mantas, they were the ones opening fire upon the planet. The others were dark blue coloured ships that were more stream-lined and had three tails at the back, the top two joined to make a kind of spoiler. The blue fighter ships fought to protect their home planet from the invaders. Laser fire sped in all directions, hitting alien ships and making them burst into flames.
The invaders' mother ship was lurking nearby, it bared a resemblance to Saturn but was completely made out of metal and its rings were held in place by an electromagnetic field. Its fighter ships buzzed around it and more continued to pore from its hangar bays, as if new soldiers were coming out of nowhere. The fighters made their way to the outer atmosphere of Serene and tackled the planets defence fighters.
Down on the planet surface, the Serenians looked to the skies as the fight raged on. They had aqua blue skin; their eyes were yellow like a tigers. Their hair was long and shone in colours of silver and green as the light reflected on them.
On the outskirts of the capital city of Tranquil, the Empress of Serene and her daughter watched the battle in the sky from their palace. The daughter saw the multi coloured lights flicker across the night sky, she looked at her mother, she was worried for her husband, he was the Emperor of Serene and had joined his warriors in the fight against the invaders. The eight year old looked back to the skies, "Mother, why do these beings intend to harm us?"
The mother looked at her daughter as she put on a brave face, "There are creatures in the universe who believe in nothing but conquering all other life forms, these beings are ruthless and heartless creatures who want to rule as many worlds as they can so they can expand their empire. Your father defied them as is now fighting to keep our planet safe and to free the enslaved galaxies from these beings that call themselves Pandorians, led by their leader, Nemesis."
The daughter looked to the skies once more, bright lights flashed then slowly faded, "Do you think father will be okay?"
"Of course he will, Eclipse." The mother held her child close and spoke quietly to herself, "Please, be okay."
Inside the mother ship of the Pandorians there was mass activity as sparks and soldiers flew in all directions, Pandorian drones escorted prisoners to the bridge where Nemesis was stationed, giving orders to his commanders. Pandorians were basically little green men, their heads were flat like frogs and their eyes were orange and they walked on two (bendy) legs, in a way they looked like frogs but they wore metallic armour and were far more sinister.
The prisoners were presented before Nemesis who stood above them from his observation deck, "More prisoners from the Serene Alpha Unit." Blared one of the drones.
"Aah, Alpha Unit, tell me, what is your pitiful leader plotting to stop me?" Nemesis asked calmly.
At first there was silence from the Serenians, then one spoke out, "We'll never betray our President, and we will never surrender to you!" This was met with cheers from his fellow comrades.
Nemesis closed his eyes and simply smiled, then he opened his eyes again, "Oh, but you have already surrendered to me. In fact, you will rejoice in joining my cause for universal domination. Computer, activate the DNA accelerator!"
There was a beep and then a large device came down from the ceiling, the prisoners were motioned to the centre of the floor with the device hanging over them. Glass barriers closed all around them and the device spread out different arms as if the prisoners were in some sort of weird blender. At the base of the arm was the DNA core, it was oval shaped and had a white gem in it, the gem flickered like there was a fire within it. Then the lights dimmed and the mechanism began to rotate, the gem began to sparkle and then the whole thing erupted thousands of different colours, the prisoners disappeared from view but their screams of pain could be heard as Nemesis looked on, smirking as he smoothed his beard.
The device shut down and retracted into the ceiling, as the smoke cleared, the prisoners stepped forth, their DNA had been mutated making them half Serenian and half Pandorian. Their skin was now Serenian blue with Pandorian green scales added and their heads were now hairless as their eyes were now blood shot and red rimmed. They stood in formation with their minds now conditioned to serve their new master, "All hail, Nemesis!" they chanted.
"Indeed, now get to your fighters and take down every single defence, I want that planet!" Nemesis ordered, the hybrids bowed and marched to their designated areas. One of the commanders who bore a deep scare across his face walked over to his leader.
"Master, 40% of the planets defences has been crushed so far!" said the commander.
"That's not good enough, where is the President of Serene?" growled Nemesis.
"We have yet to locate him master, but it's only a matter of time." The commander said, careful not to say anything that would get himself killed.
As the fight continued over the planet, the President of Serene had banded a small group of his fighters together for a full frontal attack; one of his men had managed to transfer info on the DNA accelerator before he was mutated. The President knew that if that device remained operational, all of his people would be turned into slaves for this race of megalomaniacs; he had to do whatever it took to put that weapon out of commission, permanently.
"Right," he radioed to his troops, "Red group take the left side and Blue group take the right side, the distraction should give me enough time to target the bridge!"
"Good luck, sir," the troops replied.
The fighters made for their positions, attacking the mother ship from both sides, leaving the President to fire all his weapons at the command deck. It was a direct hit as the bridge went up in flames.
Nemesis held onto a railing as the vacuum from the large crack sucked out drones, hybrids and Pandorians. Then the DNA accelerator began to bend as the force tugged at it before its core snapped off and flew out into deep space.
Finally an oxygen field was erected over the crack, sealing it. Nemesis straightened himself and saw the DNA core was missing from his precious machine, one of his generals managed to locate it, "Sir, it's entered the Vortex Maze, there's no way of recovering it!"
Nemesis slowly turned to look at the planet; this tiny world had stood in his way and now taken his ultimate weapon away from him, without the core the DNA accelerator would not be able to work, his calm expression turned into boiling fury, "DESTROY THEM! BURN THIS WORLD TILL THERES NOTHING LEFT!" he bellowed, his body shaking violently with rage.
The remaining Pandorian fighters began to rain down on the planet, with the mother ship now slowly making its way closer to Serene, preparing to eradicate the entire world.
Meanwhile, the DNA core floated into the violet nebula called the Vortex Maze, it was filled with wormholes that would open at different times and would take you to different locations across the universe. A wormhole opened up and swallowed the core, sending it across space and spitting it out near a green/blue planet called Earth.
As the core entered the planets atmosphere, it burst into flames and the heat began to melt the structure, twisting and bending its shape, the gem however remained the same. Eventually it fell out of the night sky and crashed into a forest in California, the fires died out and the cores smouldering form now resembled a large boulder with a white gem sticking out of it.
Several hours passed and the core now looked like part of the forest. Soon, a little girl came skipping up the hill, she had short brown hair and blue eyes. She was exploring her surroundings, looking behind trees and lifting up small rocks, she was fascinated with whatever she could find. Then something caught the seven year olds eye, it was a shiny white object sticking out of a rock. She slowly walked over to it, she had not seen anything so large and sparkly, she reached out to touch it and the gem glowed brightly, the girl brought back her hand in case it was dangerous, nothing happened.
The little girl touched it again; it was smooth and appeared to be loose. She grabbed it with both hands and pulled hard, the gem came out easily and the girl fell to the floor holding the white stone. No longer attached the core, the gems brightness died out, leaving just a pearly white stone. The girl ran her hand over it; it was very smooth and also very light as she held it. Just then a mans voice called out.
"Susan! Susie Q? Where are you?" called the man.
The girl got to her feet and ran towards the man who was struggling to get up the small hill, it was her dad. "There you are! How many times have I told you not to wander off on your own? You had me worried!"
"I'm sorry daddy," said Susan, "I just wanted to look around. Look what I've found!"
Karl took the gem from her daughter's hands; it was a white stone but it was two foot long, "That's quite a find Susie Q!"
"Can I keep it? Pleeeease." Pleaded his daughter.
"Alright, just as long as you don't tell your mother about your little solo trip, got it?" said her father.
"Thanyou, thankyou, thankyou!" said Susan, jumping up and down with happiness.
"Come on you little trouble maker, the others at the camp site will be wondering where we've got to!" said Mr Murphy, Susan took his hand and they both made their way down the hill back to their campsite. Susan carrying the white stone under her arm.
