- Chapter 2 - A World in Chaos

While the Silver Crystal had already crashed, the Dark Crystal continued its path through the universe, for a really long time, fastening its pace.


In a remote world, known as Chisa, a great war had erupted. The three great countries of this world: Braha, Gist and Xion, had begun attacking each other. Why? They wanted each other lands, to control everything. They were Greedy.

With no doubt only one thing truly ruled this land, Chaos. Death started to be an usual thing. Destruction spreaded throughout the lands. Suffering existed within the kids that lost their family and homes to the war. The true victims were, after all, the townspeople of the three countries.

Forests were burned, landscapes were changed. For to this war, the sorcerers and engineers of Braha Castle had created explosive devices, and their rivals were able to recreate their destructive power.


Thousands of light-years away the Guardian watched over Chisa. Chisa was a lonely planet orbiting a giant red sun. No other planet existed here. It really wasn't an interesting star system. So... why was the Guardian watching? She expected a tragedy to this world. An immense comet approached this planet at a fast pace. In the center of it lied the Dark Crystal.


- Inside Braha Castle -

"How is the battle going?" - The King had asked his counselor.

"It is going very well my Lord" - The counselor answered. "We will conquer Gist at this rate. Though Xion is being a harder prey".

"Very well... then..." - The King said, when suddenly was interrupted.

"My Lord!!" - A hurried sorcerer entered the hall.

"What is the matter? Do not speak so hastily to the King" - Said the counselor.

"Are Gist or Xion turning the tide on us?" - The King questioned.

"No my Lord. A ball of fire. A great ball of fire in the sky. It is getting bigger and bigger" - The sorcerer replied horrified.

"What??" - Exclaimed the King. Still incredulous he left his throne and headed to the nearest tower.


The Dark Crystal approached Chisa rapidly. Its power had attracted rocks, asteroids, metal and ice in its path, thus forming a comet. To the eyes of the habitants of Chisa, a great ball of fire.


Silence took over the battlefield. The clash of swords, the roar of the explosives, the battle screams. All stopped in awe and fear of the great ball.

Horrified, the soldiers made their run, while their leaders stared at the event. The ball grew bigger and bigger every second.

"Is the sun falling?" - A soldier screamed.


The King of Braha saw the terror in the townspeople. And then he felt an impressive heat. It was so intense, something never felt before on this world. The King stared in disbelief as it literally passed over his head.


"That crash will leave a deep scar on the habitants of Chisa" - The Guardian thought. "It won't be as peaceful as when the Silver Crystal crashed, at least its world was depleted of life".


- At Gist Kindgom -

The King didn't had time to flee, nor the townspeople. The comet crashed in the center of the kingdom. Gist was erased from the map. The impact caused an earthquake that was felt all the way to Braha and Xion. Darkness filled the lands as dust clouds were lifted and spread. Where Gist once existed, only a great crater remained.


- At Braha Castle -

"Explain that!" - The King demanded to the counselor.

"Please wait my Lord, I have already asked my subordinates for news." - He replied, still scared about the recent events.

While waiting for the news, the King stared at the sky. It was getting darker. A dust cloud was growing over the kingdom. It was just the afternoon, but it seemed like it was dusk already.

A couple of hours later, a messenger came to give the shocking news to the counselor.

"I do not believe it..." - He said. "My Lord, Gist was destroyed".

The King stared at him. "Explain yourself!!"

"The ball of fire hit it... there is nothing left".

The King stood there thinking. Then he exclaimed: "Send word to Xion. We are calling for a truce".


- At the land where Gist once stood -

Everything was gone. At the center of the newly formed crater a black light could be seen fading, as it calmed. The Dark Crystal. A few meters away the sand moved. A hand could be seen emerging from the dust. A young girl emerged. Her appearance reflected she was in a clear shock. After walking a few meters she collapsed again, unconscious, just at the side of the Dark Crystal. But how come was she able to survive the impact and the radiation left by the comet? She was a chosen one, an unawaken Senshi.
