The Edge of Darkness
How this realm came to be and when historically is anyone's guess. Some say
that it was created by an accident that the Eastern Pillar Asmodeus had
caused. Some speculate that the Sedas, especially the shady Duelists, were
responsible, since the Duelists said that evil would be on the heels of the
other three, waiting to ruin the good things that they would do, had made the
realm of more powerful dark energies than Majin Buu. But how was it possible
for the only one of the three that was not affected by evil to create evil?
Although neither side is immune to the other, nor are they immune to
themselves. Good things are done for the good and bad alike, and bad things
done to good and bad people alike. The Duelists ran from the intra-planetary
war between the other three Sedas because it was the epicenter of a massive
blast of Dark Energy. This 'Black Energy Wave' emanated from the Edge of
Darkness had inflicted corruption on those who were ambitious, and illness on
many, without warning or remorse on its targets. Even the planet that was to
be called Elysium suffered from what happened. Further up in the dimensions,
the realm that the Kais watched from fell from the attack, as several planets
and galaxies that paralleled the Kais' Dimension were obliterated by Majin
Buu at the time, weakening the support that the physical cosmos gave to them.
The Black Energy Wave was the straw that broke the camel's back for all but
the very center of the Kais' Dimension. Beyond there was a place that sealed
itself out of fear of the attack. The Duelists were divided among ideals
after the attack, and even divided among which worlds to reside in. The
Tribe of Shadows went towards Earth from the world that the Duelists hid in
during the times of ancient civilization on the planet. They too kept
secrecy of location for a time, hiding as advisors and rulers for the ancient
world. But when their descendants began fighting for control of the world...
that's another story for another time. As time passed and the universe began
to recover from the attack that the Edge sent cosmos-bound, the empire of
Elysium spread to the sick and dying worlds corrupted by the Edge. Using its
terraforming and eco-regulation systems, many worlds leveled out and became
habitable once again. But the dark energies were still there. If they could
not destroy the worlds they infected, they would destroy what was on them.
So came forth monsters that sought to bring harm to anything and rule these
worlds in the name of the Edge of Darkness.
The Evil Gates Opening
When Satiro had returned from her exile to find the universe in chaos, the
Edge had opened many paths to spread its energy through the universe, even
passing beyond Centra's barrier and choking out Eden. The Edge wanted
nothing more than to destroy everything and be absolute. It was astounding
that only 6000 years after Eden's relocation, the Prophecy of Fading Eden
was coming true. But there was something missing. Only the first part of it
was being spoken of.
"Yet though the end is not long after you find your real enemy, nothing is
truly hopeless. Head to the heart and you will find Evil there inside, but
it is not insurmountable."
Those who read the whole thing had confused Eden for the Evil being spoken of.
But Eden was an invincible force in the universe, even if it was weakening and
could be fought against. It was not Eden being spoken of. The Edge of
Darkness, a dimension-wide entity, was pouring its foul being into the
universe, engulfing that which Eden had and devouring it like acid on armor.
No one but a very select few could see the events occuring were not Eden's
fault. It was a macromanagement computer grid, not an artificial
intelligence. Many of the Purifiers remaining went to Eden 2.0 to find that
it was enveloped in a black mist. Both inside and on the surface was near
impossible to see, and Eden's systems were found on the verge of arrest when
they had reached its core.
The Final Encounter
NOTE: No records have been made concerning the events of Eden and the battle
to save it from shutdown. Rumors detail that though unsuccessful in stopping
Eden's deactivation, the systems were recoverable. Eden now runs from its
old location seated in the ruins of Elysium. As for anything involving
current data, there is no record. The Library Matrix was destroyed when the
Master was at his errand with the Duelists, and as a result any data collected
cannot be stored.
--All Records on the subjects of The Edge beyond this point cease to exist.--
