There was an anomaly near the graveyard planet Robespierre.
An extremely large source of energy was being emitted from a nearby sector.
The source had been steadily growing for several days and had swelled to
enormous proportions. Anar K, Rotkennk warrior and son of K'OS had been
dispatched several days ago by the Overmind commander to track the energy
source and neutralize it by any means necessary. Beyond that he had no
idea what to expect. His orders were very straightforward, but something
about the mission seemed odd. K was sure the Overmind leader knew more
about the mission than he was willing to share, but he didn't care either way.
A mission was a mission and once he succeeded he would forget all its
details anyway and move on.
K only cared about one thing. Strength. He knew
he would do anything to attain it, but the will of his father always came
first. It was his father K'OS who gave orders to the Overmind commander
so that his will be done. And K'OS' will was absolute.
It took two days for K to arrive at the graveyard planet in
his nameless cruiser, one fit for a small crew of people though K often only
traveled alone. After sensing a very familiar energy signal, he touched
down on the arid red and grey terra. K got out of his ship and surveyed
the planet, standing at nearly seven feet in all black and silver. The
huge mounds of skulls in the distance reminded him of the pale yellow skull
shaped mask he was wearing. He could sense all the nanomachines in his
body adjusting to the planet's bare atmosphere. The nanites needn't work
too hard, since only a small part of him was biotic anyway.
The ancient mask Darcell, which had formerly belonged to his
long deceased brother of the same name, was floating closely behind K on his
left. Darcell was huge, about the size of K's upper torso and shoulders
and was intelligently sentient. The lower part of Darcell's mask was navy
and purple with dark green spikes coming out the front of it while its upper
headdress, which looked like large bat ears, was black with grey tips.
The signal K felt earlier was very faint yet he tracked it expertly and
found his brother, the Rotkennk warrior and herald Nexus, who K affectionately
called Xen. Xen was trapped beneath a massive pile of mountain rubble
with only his head and left foot visible. Like K, Xen wore a huge yellow
mask on his face as well. His had sharp yellow horns atop and to the
sides of it.
K: "Xen! I didn't know the Overmind dispatched
you too. Even stranger considering that I last heard of you being near
the Endo system not too long ago."
Xen: "I wasn't dispatched like you, brother. I'm
afraid that curiosity got the better of me. I came here as soon as I
heard of a powerful mass of uncontrollable energy in this sector. I just
knew someone was wielding it, or attempting to."
Xen was a wreck of scrapes, bruises, and Rotkennk blood
which was teeming with microscopic nanomachines. Smoke and heat rose from
underneath the rubble pile where he was buried.
Xen: "My ship's instruments were going haywire and I
followed the trail whilst sensing this amazing power the whole time. That
curiosity led me here."
K: "And how did you come to find yourself so
comfortably buried here, brother?"
Xen: "Our conquering Rotkennk nature led to my
downfall. The owner of these coveted mysterious powers made short work of
me, but I was persistent and gave him a round two and three that he'd not soon
forget."
K: "That you also lost I'm sure."
Xen: "You always know what to say to comfort me.
Yes I lost, but I'm done sleeping now and ready for the next round.
I didn't even get to transform when I fought him. This time I'll be
more prepared."
K: "Sure, brother. It would greatly please our
Overmind commander if we would neutralize this growing energy source and
collect its remains."
Xen: "I can see why he'd want that. Things are
now starting to unravel back home. There's some really shadowy experiments and
manipulations going
