Chronicles of the Demons
(Crossover: Star Trek Online/Zixx Level One, Two and Three)
We are the great Hargokk Empire.
The mere presence of our forces make the entire galaxy tremble before us but there is an obstacle. The Iconian Whole has repeatedly stopped our attempts to advance across the galaxy. A power like the Iconians are a great threat to the future of the Empire and therefore they must be destroyed.
Far Edge of the Alpha Quadrant
Planet Hargokk
Capital of the Hargokk Empire in the Milky Way Galaxy
A single robed messenger bowed as he entered the throne room of his Emperor who sat on the large throne, staring him down with yellow eyes that made the messenger feel like they were probing his soul and would burn him from the inside if he came with bad news.
Forunately he did not.
"My Lord Onccalon. I bring news of our alliance with the Dinasians and the Iccobar. They have agreed to our offer of an alliance and are gathering other likeminded races to aid us. The Iccobar request that they lead the assault on Iconia." The messenger stated, keeping his head bowed.
"Good." Onccalon's voice answered, echoing across the throne room. "Tell the Iccobar they have my permission to lead the attack. However make sure they are aware that I want the World Heart from the Iconian central archives. I will not tolerate betrayal or failure."
"Yes Lord Onccalon." The messenger bowed and quickly left the room.
In the following days the attack on Iconian and its colonies was seemingly a success only the alliance failed to recover the Iconian technology and the World Heart which had disappeared in the aftermath of the bombing.
Onccalon was displeased and he showed it when the Iccobar and Dinasian representatives arrived to meet him. "You failed."
"Our forces attempted to retrieve the World Heart but the Iconians had help. Allies who protected them." The Dinasian representative said, trying to excuse the alliance's failure.
"You think that is an excuse!?" Onccalon stood up, showing his hulking armored form in all its glory. "I wanted the World Heart and the knowledge of the Iconians and you could not fulfill such a simple task!"
"The Iconians are gone regardless. We showed them we are not as weak as they thought." The Iccobar representative retorted.
That was the wrong word to say.
Onccalon roared as he thrust out a hand and fired a bright beam of light that disintegrated the Iccobar where he stood. "NO ONE DISRESPECTS ME! GO BACK TO YOUR WORLDS AND TELL THEM I AM COMING! THE FATE YOU UNLEASHED ON ICONIA WILL BE NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT I HAVE IN STORE!"
That was the end of the Iccobar, the Dinasians, and the other members of the alliance as the Great Hargokk Empire unleashed its full military might on their worlds. One by one each species was rendered extinct by Onccalon's wrath until Onccalon himself was destroyed by another ancient race, the Gaanth who could not stand by and watch as more races were destroyed like the Iconians who they failed to save. The Gaanth would vanish shortly after, evolving into beings of light but as they evolved they sensed a great darkness, rivaling that of Onccalon and knew what it was.
The Iconians had become Demons of Air and Darkness and sought revenge.
By the twenty fifth century the Hargokks would be extinct while the Gaanth's legacy, the Network would withdraw from the Milky Way, leaving the people of that galaxy to their own devices.
Time would tell if the Milky Way Galaxy would become an enlightened place like the Gaanth believed.
