A Paradise Corrupted: The Saga of Elysium

There was no year in which the event in which the foundings of three of the
four Sedas created the most glorious empire in the universe before the
Lirrans' time. So they named their time Creation Elysia (CE). The pact was
made on the world that they had so ravaged. For those who had died, and the
dying energy of the Planet that they were on...they called this world Elysium,
and set forth on a way to preserve this world's life, so that they could
inhabit it together. After finding mines of crystal that contained Elysium's
conscious memory and power, they began to use these crystals as a power
source.
Energa Materia, the Quantom Refractor. It dawned on them that the largest
ones could be used for the purpose of powering terraforming and eco-
maintenance systems planet-wide, possibly even farther. So came the creation
of the Eden Terraforming Macromanagment System in 530 CE. It was simply
called Eden by those willing to shorten the name. Technical buffs shortened
it to the Eden Macromanagement System in 683 CE, as it began to be used for
other features than just the maintenance of their colonies. It started to
be used to maintain data records, defense systems, the production of worker
and combat Reaverbots, and regulation of all laws that Elysium had. As
Eden's influence spread over the universe like a wildfire, it seemed like
paradise was finally achievable. Yet Eden was not a self-sufficient system,
as was soon proven when it nearly crashed because of a virus in 2310 CE.
Malfunctions were rampant for 50 years before everything was re-regulated.
it was ruled that security would need a greater improvement than the
Reaverbots. As capable as they were, they weren't human enough to give a
measure of protection that was effective, nor were they with the capacity to
overwhelm foes when fighting alone. Even in large numbers downing opponents
was difficult for Reaverbots anymore. For nearly 1000 years the government
and those placed in charge of Eden started to worry as their robotics
engineers were trying to develop a new type of robot worker, one more human,
yet also more powerful. In 3220 CE reports of a programming method known as
DNA emulation were sent to the government officials. The method was to give
nanomachinery a program that would make it simulate an organic cell. Their
progress in this method went extremly well, and they made the new type within
the decade, calling them ServoDroids. The first ten created were two Mother
units and eight Purifier units. The Mothers were responsible for the
management of Eden's core systems. The Purifiers were its guards, each one
given a persona program for access to Eden's systems should they ever be
corrupted again. ServoDroids weren't as common as Reaverbots as they were
more difficult to create, but the numbers were still staggering. Elysium's
resources were without limit. It's reach throughout the universe seemed
to have no limit, either, until Elysium encountered the Protoss at the edge
of the known universe. Having traded information discreetly with the Dark
Templar, who knew by far more than the Conclave about what was further out
there, Elysium's reach had almost jumped past the boundaries of the Protoss
Empire. Almost...
A strikedown of Eden establishing colonies surrounding the Protoss was
ordered by Mother Sera in 7564 CE. She felt that such an action would
threaten the already war-oriented Protoss into attacking them. So Elysium's
boundaries stayed the same so far. Another blow was felt when they had gone
near cursed grounds, and left them untouched as a respect of others'
superstition. Yet another limitation was handed to them when they found that
Eden was not permitting colonization outside of its influence. The government
suspected Sera was tampering with Eden law records without being given laws to
input. Yuna, the silent partner of Sera, did nothing to regulate Sera's
actions. Neither did the Purifiers sense the rat that was causing trouble.
In 9123 CE, Eden had given the command to move its station. To be more
centralized and protected. The one place that they could think of stationing
Eden was somewhere inside of Centra's orbit. An orbit that sat right on an
energy shield that Centra itself had cast. Inside there was another planet.
A special planet that housed a crystal with the power of life and death.
They chose there, seeing that if Eden were powered by that crystal, it would
have abosolute control over the universe. What a mistake that was...
In 11560 CE, Eden 2.0 replaced the Crystal Planet, with the Crystal of Life
housed in its core. The worst began there. Afterward, Sera had initiated
several projects between allies, and the contact with the Protoss, Conclave
or Dark Templar, was declared forbidden. All the portals formed between both
empires were shut down on Elysium's side. The Reaverbot Dragon Leyline was
created in 12320 CE. So too, was the Eighth Nightmare ServoDroid, Satiro
Abrea. Elysium's fall came faster than its grand rise. And all the humans
had Eden to blame. The last government positioned human, known as the Master,
had a dream about the fourth Seda: The Duelists, who hid themselves from the
ancient war millenia ago. Were they still out there? Were they faring
better, or were they hiding in Elysium? That very same night, Eden's records
started to go offline. The history of the universe that Elysium was had begun
to fade, and the Master worked with what was left as fast as he could, finding
that only one planet was not under Eden's control. There it was. The Duelist
Seda's hiding place.
Upon reaching them to implore that they help stop the destruction of Elysium
at Sera's corrupted hands, the Duelists told the Master that his paradise was
a fake, and that only when one had done their place in the universe that they
would find the real Elysium. The Master was abashed at this, yet also
intrigued. How was their world lush even after the Holy attack from Centra
during Eden's virus corruption? Then he had learned of the lifeforce of
Planets, and that even they had a conscious mind, and could speak. The
Planet's voice being the voice of every soul living on it and in it, even
those coursing through its energy. The Duelists final words to the Master
were that had he or his ancestors known this...Eden would never have been
created. They would have left Planet Elysium to die and move to a new world.
In their effort to do good, they had unleashed a terrible evil, one far worse
than Majin Buu. One that could, if completely shut down, destroy the universe
in one fell swoop without even trying. It was Eden. If it was destroyed, the
universe went with it. If it was shut off, the universe died anyway. The
Master went back to Elysium...wondering how to try and preserve what they had,
without Eden's shutdown being an end to everything. He then remembered the
Duelists powers to heal suffering planets, to restore and enrich them. And
then he went to work on creating the artificial Mass Population Models.
Only with the classification "Zeta" did he succeed in copying the powers of
the Duelists. With this success, he made sub-classifications and spread them
to various parts of the innermost regions of Elysium. Sending a little bit of
all the groups to Centra, as a mark and reminder of Eden. Sending them
whereever Eden had not touched with a single machine. Eden's power was
quickly breaking underneath of it's own weight, unchecked by Sera and Yuna,
who proclaimed themselves in charge of Elysium...


12380 CE...End of Beginnings and Beginning of Ends.

Satiro was deemed a traitor along with her partner, PP-8 X. Sera banished
both to a fledgling planet called Earth. X was put into stasis when Satiro
said that he would be a backup. 'Why' is what confused the people who would
wonder. Leyline was sealed in an unknown location in the same galaxy as
Earth. It was thousands of years of Elysium's time before Satiro left Earth.
A former shell of itself, and a virus was lurking about...one that was made
to attack only the Cetra...finding that the chaos ensuing was all predicted
by the Prophecy of Fading Eden.

"You will not succeed in your desires. Evil will dog your every step with
the murderous intents that you have here. Whatever good you do will be
engulfed and destroyed...ultimately...your end is everything's end. And the
end is Eden..."

Seeing such a burden on her own people was not the one truth she wanted to
uncover. What curse did the Duelists predict was going to befall them?
Did it have something to do with a dimension below? She didn't know, or
couldn't remember. Then it came to her to use the power of Leyline...which
it chose only her to be its key and master. Taking up everything that she
could, Satiro had decided that it was time to discover what Evil meant in
the Prophecy of Fading Eden...Eden itself or someone controlling the Crystal?
