Prologue: In a world that seemed as though it was a dream, a young girl fell from the sky like a lost star. With beautiful green skin and eyes that gleamed like rubies she was seen as a fairy like child, unwanted by the Earth's inhabitants. One boy alone showed her a scrap of kindness. He would bend at each of her desires giving her all that both thought she rightfully deserved. The young princess enjoyed staying in the strange world with the boy. Never before had a single being shown her such undying devotion. He had given her a handmade circlet the most flattering gift she had received. Unfortunately she had to leave it behind when her people came to take her back. She was not of that world and no madder how she pleaded, she wasn't allowed to stay or say good bye to the kind boy.

Chapter 1:

Furon Empire, Planet: Earth

The boy sat in the cleared woods, his friend was gone. The only friend he had ever had, as an orphan very little had been given to him. Even the place he stayed came with the price of grueling hard labor. How he missed her, he held her circlet close. It was so painful to be alone again, he didn't like it. He didn't want a world where she wasn't in it. His gold eye sparkled with tears; it felt like the world around him was tearing apart. Lost in his own sorrow he couldn't see that the trees around him were being torn by an invisible force. A shuddered sigh from the boy covered up the footsteps of the stranger that was slowly approaching. The stranger tapped the back of the boy's head and the boy fell unconscious.

"I'm sorry Zod," The old man spoke, "but it would be better for you to forget. He took the sleeping boy onto his strange vessel. The boys stirred at the sounds of arguing.

Somewhere in a ship in deep space

"How could you do this dad!" A purple haired girl shrieked. "I am a far better warrior than he'll ever be! I have been training for the competition my whole life and you just bring him out of nowhere and say that I'm not qualified anymore! He doesn't even know how to fight!"

"Now Gina, I know you're upset," her father soothed, "but he is my sister's son. He has to be our champion by law. That is why you will teach him how to fight. We need to win over the Phunk."

"What are you talking about?" Zod groaned, "Where am I."

"Looks like jerk wad woke up," Gina sneered.

"Gina! Be nice to your cousin!" The old man reprimanded. "I assume it's my job to explain what exactly we have gotten you into." He pulled out a map of the stars. Earth was at the very center and had a blue symbol on it. Other planets had similar blue marks, pink marks, red marks, or purple marks. "These are the four empires of the universe, each one has a specialty. What you need to know the most is that the Akia Empire," he pointed to the purple area on the map, "was once our ally in the civil war. You see our empire, the Furon Empire, separated from the Irken Empire. It was a civil war that was divided into two groups, people who like us wanted to gain planets trough treaty and breeding and people who wanted to gain planets through force. The heart of our empire is your planet, planet Earth. All of our people have human DNA in them, that is where you get all of your legends of monsters."

"Why didn't I know about this before?" Zod inquired.

"Our empire has tried to keep the two civilizations separate for cultural reasons. We have already tampered with human cuture and we don't want to forget our own. The 'beasts' some humans found were just some of the hybrids that have been caught hiding on Earth. The planet is used as a compass rose, thusly our Empire is East. All other people have steered clear of this planet because of the fearsome hybrids that have come out of it. The humans are… very adaptable unlike other races, any part of them will alter for whatever condition they are in. Well almost any part." Zod crossed his legs at the comment.

"What does this have to do with me?" Zod asked.

"In good time Zod, in good time. During the War the Phunk Empire tried to create a powerful source of energy that would given any being who consumed it tremendous power. I the process of making it however, they accidently created a deadly virus know as the Elidon virus. Irk wants to use the successful Abyss serum as a weapon, while Akia wants to use it in hopes to create a cure. The Phunk go where ever the serum goes, so we want it to make sure that the Furon Empire does not become all human and we forget our origins like you have."

"I don't understand, I'm human."

"Not exactly. You see your mother, Godiva, was half Irken. But right now we need to focus at the task at hand. A competition will be held to determine which Empire will absorb the dying Phunk Empire and thus the Abyss serum. Champions are chosen by strength and political status. You are the son of my sister the leader of the Furon Empire before the war, and also have lots of natural strength."

"That's another way of saying you are the closest to a pure blood Irken we have in the entire Empire and you're only a fourth. We are close to being breaded out by the humans so you are the only one who can keep up with the other aliens. I would go but you out rank me in breading by one eighth." Gina snarled.

"So you need to have me as your champion?" Zod asked, "I'll have to train as soon as possible right?"

"I hope you learn how to fight as fast as you understood your position." The old man smiled, Gina huffed and stormed down the hall. Zod shook his head. As much as fighting aliens on foreign planets seemed dangerous and deadly, it had to be better than working at the Inn. The fat inn keeper had been horrible to him, he had been hurt on multiple occasions for doing… something. He couldn't remember what he had done to deserve the punishments any more. That was the least of his problems. He would be spending the foreseeable future with a trained warrior who obviously had a chip in her shoulder when he was around. That still seemed better than caring boiling buckets of water in the dark of night.

AN: I thank all of you who have supported my fics and the Russian Roulette comic on DA. It really means a lot to me that you all have been so patient. If you have any questions feel free to ask me, this story gets a little complicated with all the characters, the four empires, and the war that previously happened in the story. Thank you once again, and I will update next Saturday.
