3: "The Domino Effect"
. . . Several billion years ago . . .
Empty black nothingness with a dim light flickering, after a while a huge explosion appeared changing that. Releasing protons, neutrons and electrons as well as other particles. As time passed galaxies begin to form and planets.
"Beautiful, don't you think" Said an alien voice
"It became from nothingness to something wonderful." Said another voice"
"Yes well, It would not be like that for long" Said a third voice.
Finally seeing the aliens, a glowing white humanoid like aliens clothed in white cloak. Behind them are some sort of "space ships" that appears to almost engulfed in white light.
Our sister is correct, some of us are beginning to see future events of this new existence. But they will come to past in a few million-billion years." Said the first alien.
"That is very interesting, but why wait and let it come to existence. We saw this reality come to life we should inhabit and take it for our selves." Said the fourth male alien.
"No! We will not interfere with the natural growth of the species in that reality" Said the second alien.
"What species are you referring to, there is no life in that place." Said the fifth alien.
"In this realm it might be hours or even years before we see a species come to existence, but in there, it takes longer. Young one, we are not taking this reality for ourselves. We are not going to do what you ask and that is final, understand!" Said the third alien.
The fourth and fifth aliens walk away with out saying anything else.
"Watch them, and make sure they don't attempt to enter that reality. I will inform the High Council of what has transpired here." Said the sixth alien to the first, second and third aliens, then just turns into pure light energy and flies towards the tall, white fortress.
"How can we be denied this! That reality is suppose... no, must be ours. No... no, no, no... it will be ours." Said the fourth alien.
"And it shall, but there is a problem. The High Council will be on their side, we wouldn't be able to take what is ours." Said the fifth alien. While the two aliens were discussing their plan, they came across a sign saying "Great power comes with greater responsibility. The question is, how will this power be used?"

"High Council no disrespect intended but there is already life in that reality, our place is right here. We must not interfere with the natural progress of their evolution and prevent any of our kind from inhabiting their reality" Said Anuk.
"We have to agree with Anuk said one of the six aliens standing beside her. We have reason to believe that Kor'Ak, Lo'Kar and probably many other are attempting to take control of that reality." Said one of the aliens.
"Even if this turns into a civil war between our people?" Said the First Council Elder
"Is this what you want Anuk, a civil war?" Said the Third Council Elder.
"A civil war is already at hand, it all happened when that reality came into existence." Said Kur'Ak.
"I sense a dark and horrifying future if this war comes." Said the one of the council elders.
"We are forgetting about our sacred rule, which states that no Guardian is to make contact with a lower life form their reality that didn't achieve higher plain of existence or ascension, unless it has been approved. And as long as I remember that I have never broken that rule for six-million years and either have these six people who are standing beside me. But unlike Kor'Ak and Lo'kar who choose to ignore that rule will use their powers and proclaim themselves as gods to those mortals." Said Anuk
"Great power comes with greater responsibility" Said Kur'Al.
"It seems civil war is unavoidable." Said the Second Council Elder.
"There might be a way to prevent a civil war from ever happening if, we manage to convince both Kor'Ak and Lo'Kar to stop their insane idea." Said Kur'Al.
"We all know that both Kor"Ak, Dal'Har and Lo'Kar have one thing on their minds, and that is their lust for absolute power." Said Anuk.
"The war between the different factions has made him and many others power-hungry. Said Kur'Al
"They believe that harnessing the "darker side" of their abilities will give them an upper hand against other factions. Sooner or later they won't be able to control their own abilities and will be consumed by them, that why we must act now before we are too late." Said Thwar.
"The council agrees, convince them and make sure you succeed because the repercussions could be severe if you fail." Said the leader of the council.
"Understood." Said Anuk.

"As I have foreseen, the council is on their side, we must act now!" Said Lo'Kar.
"Agreed." Said Kor'Ak
"What about the others, are they with us... or against us?" Said Lo'Kar.
"About one hundred and twenty-seven billion are with us, as for the other two-hundred billion, they are against us." Said K'Zogh
"It has to do, now lets see what this reality has to offer." Said Lo'Kar.
"What do you think you are doing!" Yelled Anuk
"Taking what is ours, now either join us or leave!" Said Lo'Kar.
"You are not taking the Great Ships to that reality nor you are going to conquer it." Said Anuk.
"I have been fighting the other factions since your grandparents were still young, I know what we have to do, what our true existence is. Now leave or die!" Said Lo'Kar at the same time he fired some sort of white energy blast on Anuk. She then quickly disappeared before she was hit. "Hmm, coward, but no matter she can't stop us nor will the others... destiny awaits." Added Lo'Kar.
"An untold number of our Great Ships are heading towards to the new reality!" Said Thwar.
"We have to follow them if we are to stop them! Said Anuk to the High Council.
"We know the risks, please we have to stop them." Said Thwar
The council members turned to each other and then faced the two aliens. "You may proceed." Said the lead council member.
At that moment Anuk, Kur'Al, Kagh, and the others who were in the council chamber transformed into pure light energy and disappeared.
"We understand... what... we must do." Said Thamnok
"It seems that some of our people have join Lo'Kar, we have orders to stop them. In any way possible." Said Thamnok to the others beside him.
At that moment they closed their eyes and bowed their heads and transformed into a bright energy form, many others followed them.

"Look at this magnificent sight my friends, soon this will become ours." Said Lo'Kar as he starred at the formation of many galaxies and planets.
After few moments a bright light appears which brought out many Great Ships.
A hologram appeared on board Lo'Kar's ship revealing a humanoid figure. "Lo'Kar, you have to stop this before we have no other choice but to stop you ourselves by any means necessary. We have foreseen the future of this realm, that this... Universe... is going to be inhabited by billions of different life forms." Said Rha'Kar.
"This is not our place to exist, we must leave it how it is." Said Anuk.
"No, never! This belongs to us, we are the rightful owners, and nobody and I mean nobody is going to take it away from us, not even you. We will create an Empire that will last for eternity after eternity and our enemies will either bow down to us or perish." Said Kor'Ak.
Anuk and Thamnok looked at each other and nodded. "Very well then we have to choice but to bring you back ourselves or destroy you." Said Thamnok.
"Destroy us you say, fool you're weak and pathetic you have only started to develop most of your abilities. You are no match for us and neither are you Anuk." Said Gun'nak.
As the universe continued to take shape, the opposite sides began to fight each other. Anuk and a few hundred others on her side transformed into bright energy and left the Great Ships to fight the others. Those who remained on the Great ships began to fire some sort of energy blast at the other Great Ships and at the opposing aliens on either sides. In the cross fire some of the planetary bodies that were forming were destroyed including most of the star systems that had already had formed hundreds of years before the battle started.

The war had lasted for tens of thousands of years and it seems that Anuk and the others have successfully stopped them.
"We have brought them before the High Council to answer their crimes," Said Cas.
"I have only one thing to say to you, and that is, even if you managed to stop us, many will soon realize the mistake they have made not taking over that reality and will join our cause." Said Lo'Kar to the High Council.
The council elders looked at each other, then one of them spoke "With the crimes like yours, you and the others who followed you will not be executed, but instead you will be banished from this place to that reality which you tried to conquer... without your powers. You and your followers will be thrown to the very edge of that universe, where all of you will exist until this reality is no longer." Said one of the council elders.
"Who knows how long that will be." Said Kor'Ak
"Think of it as life in prison, without your powers and knowledge that you posses." Said the leader of the High Council.
"We will have our revenge, you old fools, we promise you this!" Said one of the captured renegades.
"We are still forgetting that they have tapped into the dark side of their powers which makes them even more dangerous, they have to be executed at once. Even if their powers have been taken from them, they still pose a threat." Said Anuk looking at Lo'Kar.
Facing the council. "I don't have to remind you what happened six-hundred trillion years ago, same thing happened, the pure darkness took over one of our own and soon he went after our ancestors." Said Cas.
"They haven't tapped that far into their powers, our decision is final." Said the lead Council Elder.
As the she finished taking, the Elders raised their hands and took away Lor'Ak's abilities as well as his followers. At the same time he and the others disappeared into the far ends of the universe. The battle which happened is now over in the forming galaxy that will be soon known as the Milky Way Galaxy.
