Prologue

A galaxy full of stars, planets of unknown origin in the thirteen billion year universe…

On a faraway planet lit by planetary light, heated to the intensity beyond that of carbon-based life's tolerance, there laid many buildings where there was a race of people. To some, they were aliens. To others, they were of partnership in mating with human kind.

For those here who wanted a good way to look at themselves, they saw themselves as independent and a truly superior race. Their planet proved it, with light independent from the sun, maintained twenty four-seven. Silicone-based life was able to endure much heat, more times more than the average human can.

But beneath that layer of reality… was a race that was in a heated argument.

Some questioned why they made the aliens, most didn't. They were the mirror race of human kind. It could be said that they just didn't have much to go on at this point in conclusion to their alien's defeat. "How could the humans have been able to kill the Superior?" Lots wondered. Attending the Council of Orders, they were on the brink of destruction as their kind was dying.

An alien looked at the young-looking elder on the virtual screen made of extreme condensed heat. With elastic skin and lips, the elder spoke. "Hear me, citizens of our home Nanderthal. It seems the traitors have killed off one of our strongest creations, dubbed the Superior." Chatter broke about. People's eyes lit in response with flames of hatred as they stared hard at the image being shown.

In it, from the eyes of the last signal given from the Superior within the Hive, there was a floating fortress, dubbed the XG-70 making its way through the Carrier Beta. A young chestnut haired man pulled the switch and pressed the button to activate its beam.

From the conversation between the Superior and the one dubbed "Shirogane Takeru," it seemed that he was against their killing of the human race.

An ecosystem that was dying… Everything was vibrating from the talk and heat going above the norm. The Neanderthals, as they were called by the humans. They judged this human as a thorn in their side.

As to the reason why the planet was dying… it was because of the expiration date.

The Neanderthals knew their planet would expire someday. A self-sustaining planet that supplied everything from natural power to sustained light… These functions were failing. Their race was going to be wiped out soon because this planet… existed from the beginning of the universe.

Thirteen billion years… It was what humans called a "miracle" to have it for that long. Even the Neanderthals were amazed by this convenient planet.

As to how the self sustaining planet functions… that will come another time.

"No… This isn't good." The alien was pissed. "The generations have seen this debate over and over, and yet now they decide to admit it… Damn it, what has happened to our race? Has it really become this stupid over the years? We were such dumbasses. We were only borrowing from the planet, just like the humans have from theirs."

"Citizens, do not fear. Our planet will last as long as our lives will!" The elder spoke. "Our will lives in the aliens the humans dub 'Beta'! They will carry on our lives to the end, even if it means killing the entire universe!"

This is madness…! The alien grumbled as he saw the virtual screen switch over to Earth. "Our aliens shall take over the Earth and bring new seed to it! From that seed, we shall spring forth like leaves from trees!" Now this guy is just insane…! He begged to differ.

Body language, mouths… Every function was in madness. They were all going to melt and dissolve soon, whether they wanted to or not. They either died savages, or they died honorably. For the alien, he'd rather have died savagely instead.

According to the elder, their original DNA was implanted into the BETA… So if the alien died, then a new version of them would be born in one of the Hives throughout the stars.

He then sent a mental message to the universe in the form of a prayer. "Please, human kind, do not make the same mistake as us…"

Then, hours later, the people were consumed by the heat. Whether the planet was artificial or not, they would never know…

Author's Note: Who knew we needed silicone to actually have the stretchable skin and bones we have today? We need it to have healthy bones, good skin, and maybe a few other things. Plus silicone-based life would only exist on planets that are like ~600K hot (or whatever the K stands for).

Basically, the reason why we only have carbon-based life on our planet is because… the planet's probably like ~300K or something. I'm not a scientist, and doing this fan fiction, I found this very interesting, so… hope you learned something.

And carbon doesn't dissolve when it comes to water also. Silicone does so very easily, and is also not very good at combining with other elements and stuff, so go figure. Hence why silicone based life may be very rare in our galaxy. And why extreme heat environments work best for them.

Better not be Earth-centric when thinking about possible life on other planets. Not every planet is like Earth.
