Introduction and Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with ADV Films or the Japanese producers who thought up this unique and dark anime series. …And I'm not even a big fan of anime! I only own my own characters and ideas I've fit in to tie into the original plot.
For at least a few days I've thought of this story idea. An interesting what if… The summary's under the main title of course. Well, enjoy the prologue and let me know what you think!
RahXephon fans : I might be a little slow in making updates, because this fic isn't my top priority. My dark, dark Final Fantasy 8 fanfiction is. "Torture from the Devil Woman: Ultimecia." Even if you don't know about the game, there's some background info tweaked into the chapters every now and then. It's a really good read, I assure you!
Special thanks to Phillip R. Banks for providing the very detailed Mu Timeline! (look up "Mu TimeLine" on Google, and you'll see it!)
RahXephon: Angel, Ollin, and God
Prologue: The Tale of the First Angel, Instrumentalist, and Xephon
Earth. A planet that's small within the entire universe. A one of a kind. Why? The creation of mankind, of course. These hairless primates were one of intelligence the universe had to treasure.
For centuries, these inventive creatures had created fire, for starters. One of many good things. Moving onto building and constructing education. Transportation, written languages, electricity, and agriculture would be a few of the many things that highlight among the good things.
In equal to the amount of good things, came the bad. War, discrimination, organized crime and punishments. Yes, mankind had been on quite a journey, but all that was mentioned would be something for all of humanity to recognized.
The one thing hidden within the Earth was a race known as the Mu. A human race of blue blood. An empire that had spread throughout the world, once building dedication of their own continent. The first Mu colonies were in the early areas before it was officially known as South America, Egypt, and Burma. A separate kind of human race that were much more ahead of time than the other, with their advanced technology. For a time, these people were the superiors over the red bloods. Servants, to worship and obey…
Since the very early era of mankind, there was one man who has lived through many generations. He's studied the Mu. It was as if he had been blessed to have outlived any other human out there to do this. But, wouldn't this have been recorded? If he was well known, yes, but he wasn't.
He's known as Bahbem, well at least that's his surname. His first was not known to many. Bahbem in growing into a young man, had succeeded in creating an artificial god. The Xephon Project. Humanoid robotic figures hatching out of man made eggs. And within the system, a chosen human being, otherwise known as instrumentalist, would be able to pilot one of these. Probably were first created for domination purposes, for Bahbem was heavily dedicated to the Mu. But due to testing, the race of the Mu had been separated into a separate realm of Earth in result of a catastrophic failure. The blue blooded beings and their home continent had been stranded from the rest of the world.
This was the reason why the Mu were not well known for several centuries. Overtime though, Bahbem had been working himself to the bone in correcting the Xephon Project, for it was unstable. And due to it's technical events of experimentations with Mulian technology and power, one of the three eggs was smaller from the other two. A gigantic white egg on the isolated Mu Continent, the other two a black one, same size, and a white human infant sized egg. The Mulian gods must have taken Bahbem's invention into their own hands…
From the small egg, hatched a human infant. Shocked to his disbelief, Bahbem decided to take this newborn human and raise it. He found out it was a male. What was strange about this newborn was that in his next twenty four hours of life, the baby was in a deep sleep. Within the period, wings of purest white had grown out of the infant's back. Surely this was an amazing discovery! Well, the human child had to be kept in secret, or otherwise the growing independent race of the red bloods would grow suspicious. All in all, the baby grew up to be young boy, to a man, living a long and private life. Besides the wings, the aging was slightly slower than an average specimen of mankind. This eventually meant that this human, born in 1576 A.D. had lived up to a little more than the average life span of seventy to one-hundred-fifty years. In perfect health, the male named Lucas Bahbem lived up to one-hundred-fifty-two years, dying at the end of December, 1728.
In the next several years, the Mulian people had used Bahbem's Xephon Project to their advantage. Although it wasn't until 1700 A. D. when Bahbem regained contact with them and gave an explanation of the white winged man who was chosen a female, shown while still alive, the prophecy was made. The angelic human born would not grow the wings until after twenty four hours contact with the chosen instrumentalist with the next Xephon.
Among the explanation, Bahbem had mentioned when Lucas had become ill, he had become ill. He also had felt Lucas's emotions in the past. The most remembered was the long period of time with loneliness, lack of companionship.
This was an unexplainable phenomenon. The selected instrumentalist and the angelic human born would connect after the first twenty four hours. There was no certain age confirmed, and this special kind of human could not be predicted. It was tried again with the next newborn and chosen instrumentalist. No wings have grown from Lucas's offspring after the first day. Nothing. Perhaps it was a sign for the one instrumentalist to tune the world in harmony to the Mu's liking. The best of the best.
The Bahbem Foundation of this developed in 1900 A. D. In secret, he began to shape human development. In time one Mulian shall be conceived. Hopefully, this Mulian would be the one to receive not only the god like being, Xephon, but of the Xephon's angel.
Soon, one pure Mulian, and one other whose genes have the long gone descendant of Lucas Bahbem would arrange to meet…
