Fiction:Second Borealis Galactic War/Original/Coming of the Vague

The Coming of the Vague is the period of the in which, a mysterious extra-dimensional race, attacked Borealis, with the goal in mind to kill UNO for reasons they claimed are "beneficial to all".

The Vague's first move
The entire space station went on major alert. All of the citizens were scared and frightened, as the entire spaceship shook. Everything was on alert, and the citizens knew to head into the small, cramped eject pods.

"Just...DIE! FUCKING DIE!!"

That was all the spacestation could here. But the 's citizens felt no panic or fear, thanks to The System. The many escape pods left to the nearest planet, as the station was destroyed. Behind the space station, the s and s appeared, to clean up the mess; the mess of the space debris and the mess of.

The Vague's enormous spaceships appeared pitch black. It didn't seem to fit in with the universe. It was blurry, and strange for sure. But it would destroy everything in its path. As soon as UNO's ships started to fire at the Vague's ships, it would scream in pain. "NO! WHY??? THE PAIN...IT HURTS!! JUST DIE!!"

But despite their efforts, they were too late. The escape pods, the UNO fleet, they were too late. The shots that destroyed the Vague ship, they were too late. The Gyronic missiles that slowed the Vague's advance, they were too late.

There were no survivors.

Return of the Chosen
In the colony of Kamives, the Supreme Advisors were discussing on the expansion of the Collective's borders in Borealis, something that was halted due to the Xi'Arazulha invasion. However, this discussion ended when an alarm went on, and a Royal Guard soldier entered the room.

Advisor - Report. Royal Guard - The Devourer's Chosen are attacking! Advisor - ''What?! Call reinforcements quickly!''

The colony was under siege of a large Chosen fleet, led by Kernax the Striker. The vile watched the fleets clashing and soon contacted the colony.

Kernax - ''Heretics. This is your last opportunity to give up and surrender to the Devourer's glory.'' Advisor - ''We are free, cultist! We shall never side with Shu'ulathoi's demons!'' Kernax - If you insist in blaspheming, then so be it!

Kernax ordered his fleet to execute his famous "Deep Strike" maneuver. Soon, drop pods were launched from the Chosen spaceships, which hit the ground and released many, , and Kurm troopers in the middle of enemy lines. The sudden appearence of the enemy confused the Collective soldiers, who were slowly overwhelmed.

Back into his ship, Kernax and a group of Auatorom cultists prayed to a Shrine, while several floated and glew red.

Kernax - We wish this great sacrifice satisfies the need of our god's minions... Loron'Kikra - IM A SACRIFICE MAN SO SIK DIS IS DA BEST DAY EVA

The Loron'Kikra all exploded, and from a rift, a gigantic Val'dahr materialized. The demon teleported into the battlefield and launched a large ice breath with decimated the Collective's troops in a few instants. Kamives had fallen to the Devourer's Chosen.

Kernax - ''This is only the beginning! We will engulf his galaxy in our holy flames!''

Hachiman's Mission
Back in the, the news of the Chosen's growth reached the capital of the Indoctrinate Collective,. The Supreme Advisors discussed the situation, which quickly reached the ears of. She knew it was time to fight the entropic fog with its true opposite.

Thea'Nhirara materialized next to her student,, in her Rianth form. Hachiman turned his head to her and smirked.

Thea'Nhirara - My student, I think I've found a perfect training for you. Hachiman - ''Oh? What sort of training, Teacher?'' Thea'Nhirara - Well, it's more of a mission, but it will also train you considerably.

Using her powers, Thea'Nhirara showed images of Corruptus demons.

Thea'Nhirara - ''The Corruptus, a dark force of destruction, is expanding next to the Indoctrinate Collective territories of the Borealis Galaxy. This faction of Corruptus-aligned beings is known as "Devourer's Chosen". Have you heard of it before?'' Hachiman - Only when Koluap was telling me stories and news but...You want me to fight the Chosen? Thea'Nhirara - ''I want you to go to Borealis and meet with the archeologist captain called Baptarion Light. Your mission is to aid him in warding off the Devourer's Chosen from the Collective territory, and to discover who is behind their "corruption".'' Hachiman - ''Sounds easy enough. This "Baptarion Light", I assume he is trained in combat.'' Thea'Nhirara - ''Well, not exactly. He has some training but like I said, he is primarily an archeologist.'' Hachiman - Ugh, do I have to babysit him? Thea'Nhirara - ''What? No. He's more than capable of defending himself. After all, he's a cyborg Radeon, resistant, intelligent and capable of using essence.'' Hachiman - Why does that remind me of somebody?

Hachiman thought for a minute.

Thea'Nhirara - ''Now, I want you to be cautions when you are there. As part of the training, I will not go with you to help. You must learn to trust your abilities without the need of a teacher.'' Hachiman - ''Huh? B-But what happens if I fail?'' Thea'Nhirara - If you fail, you must do what you can to escape death.

Hachiman nodded.

Hachiman - I'm guessing you won't be there to revive me. Thea'Nhirara - ''I won't need to. I'm sure you'll be fine.'' Hachiman - ''You can count on my, Teacher. I shall do you proud.'' Thea'Nhirara - ''I'm sure of that. Now, go to the spaceport and travel to Borealis.''

Hachiman sighed.

Hachiman - Do I have to walk? Thea'Nhirara - ''Well I won't be teleporting you around for the rest of your life. Also, one last warning.'' Hachiman - Hmm? Thea'Nhirara - ''They will try to tempt you into joining their side. Do not allow them! Expecially the Dark Apostle!'' Hachiman - ''Join their side? Dark Apostle?'' Thea'Nhirara - ''The Dark Apostle is the leader of the Chosen. She is a vile woman, blinded by madness. Do not let them tempt you, or all will be lost.'' Hachiman - Umm....Woman? Thea'Nhirara - Yes.

Hachiman gulped and nodded.

Hachiman - ''I understand. I will resist.'' Thea'Nhirara - ''Good. Now go, before you miss the spaceship.''

Hachiman nodded and ran off, to the spaceport. Thea'Nhirara waved as he left, worried about his future encounters with the black fog of the Devourer of Dreams...

Thr'aloy's Vague Fate
UNOL received a distress call from one of their colonies. A Vague fleet was approaching in a very fast rate.

- It appears they returned. - deyz dumbos i bet i can kill dem wiv only one hand Tuolog - ''No, Zr'Ahgltoh. You not have any idea...'' - ''Hmm... Perhaps we could send to deal with them? He's been whining for not fighting anyone for a while now.'' Thr'aloy - ENNIT MAN IM ITCHIN FER A FITE - ''I don't see why not. While you're at it, try bringing us a dead one or something so we can study it. You'll also need a fleet to fight in space.'' Thr'aloy - ''WELL DUH IMMA SEND A FLEET. SEND DA BIGGEST FLEET EVA ENNIT?? ANY FLEET BIGGA DAN WATS FORT DA VAGUE BEFOR COS DOSE FLEETS GOT BATTERED'' Yogtam - ''You have a point. Tuolog, what do you think of this?''

Tuolog shut his eyes and thought for a moment.

Tuolog - ''Send a sizable fleet. The Large Issue size fleet. We not want waste too many resources on this, yet we not want lose another world to them.'' Yogtam - ''Very well. Thr'aloy, prepare yourself.'' Thr'aloy - IM ALWAYZ PREPARED Yogtam - If that's so, then go on and show these monsters we will not die easily.

Thr'aloy walked out of the room, to leave to the teleportation room, where he'd teleport to the rest of his fleet.

Dalverat - ''He'll die soon. I'm sure of it.'' - Don't be so pessimist, Dalverat. Dalverat - ''I'm not being pessimistic, I'm being realistic. Thr'aloy will proably get himself killed carelessly, you know what the Loron are like.'' Zr'Ahgloth - ''NAH MAN THR'ALOYS SIK HE NEVA DAIS. I BET HES GONNA COME BAK WIV A BUNCHA VAGUE SKULLS TA SHOW OFF'' Tuolog - I not be so sure if I were you.

Tuolog shut his eyes and looked away, his facial expression showing that he knew something the others didn't.

Some time later, UNO's fleet reached the targetted planet, where the Vague fleet was visibly approaching them. Thr'aloy, in the leading flagship, set out orders.

Thr'aloy - ''YOO KNO WAT TA DO. YOO BIN TRAINED FER DIS. FIRE ALL DA CANNONZ!!!!''

The UNO fleet opened fire on the Vague fleet. The Vague were hit, and responded by firing their weapons which destroyed some of UNO's ships by stripping away their molecules.

Thr'aloy - ''WAT?!?! INCREES DA SHEELD FINGIES AN FIRE EVEN MOAR GUNZ''

Through The System, Thr'aloy issued orders and commands to target the weak spots of the Vague's ships, although the Vague ships were going down much slower than a ship normally would, and UNO's ships were dying fairly quickly...

Thr'aloy - OI MAN CO PILOT GET HEER Co-Pilot - Yes?

Thr'aloy picked the co-pilot up, and shouted at him.

Thr'aloy - YOO SED DESE WAS DA BEST SHIPS YOO CAN GET Co-Pilot - ''And they are! But these creatures have technology which is alien to us, they are literally evaporating our ships!'' Thr'aloy - IMMA SERCH DA DATABASE USIN DA SYSTEM IN MA HED AN IF YOOS RITE I WONT EET YOO NAO

Thr'aloy searched UNO's database and found nothing realistically possible in the database that matched the Vague's description.

Thr'aloy - ''NUFFIN. GIMME A REESON NOT TA EET YAS'' Co-Pilot - Because while you're shouting at me, they are charging up a massive laser at us... Thr'aloy - BUT DIS TECH CANT EXIST IN DA OONIVERS...SO WAT DA FUK MAN YOR EITHA LYIN OR DEYZ EXTRA DIMENSHONAL

The Vague fleet fired a large laser-like weapon at Thr'aloy's flagship, heavily damaging it.

Thr'aloy - SHIT MAN

Thr'aloy dropped the co-pilot.

Thr'aloy - K YOR OFF DA HOOK IF YOO CAN TELL ME WAT TA DO NAO Co-Pilot - We need to make an emergency landing and save as much people as we can before we are all sucked into space. Thr'aloy - kk

Thr'aloy issued the order via The System to make emergency landing onto the surface below. All personnell entered the escape pods and landed on the planet. The Vague fleet finished destroying UNO's ships, while a single pod followed their troops into the planet.

Thr'aloy and the emergency pods landed on the surface. The world was nearly devoid of life, with only a small forest left, where they had landed. Everywhere else was burnt down.

Thr'aloy - ...wat da hell man jus us? Trooper - Seems like they got here before us. Thr'aloy - '' ya dunt say. all da colonies is blown up an ded. so nao wat?''

The Vague pod landed next to UNO's one, and a single Vague slowly came out of it.

Vague - I knew there were survivors... Thr'aloy - ''JUS YOO? DIS IS GONNA BE EEZY''

The Troopers all got in formaion, and aimed their weapons at the Vague. Each of them fired rapid fire blasters at the Vague. The Vague shrugged off the damage, flinching slighty.

Vague - Accept your fate...

The Vague fired his own weapon, which evaporated most of UNO's forcesin a matter of seconds.

Thr'aloy - ....well shit. Thr'aloy prepared himself for combat, and attacked first. He uppercut punched the Vague soldier, and followed up by firing his pistol at the Vague. The monster was kocked away slighty by the punch, but Thr'aloy's bullets simply knocked off his skin. The Vague punched Thr'aloy with his gun arm, slamming him against a nearby wall with great force. Thr'aloy, after beign slammed, managed to get up. He charged back at the Vague, kocking it back hard with his shoulder, although hurting his shoulder badly in the process.

The Vague punched Thr'aloy with his hand arm again several times, and charged a blast from his weapon.

Vague - Accept your fate, UNO soldier...

The Vague fired his weapon and Thr'aloy's right arm was completely decimated, his muscle on his left leg also destroyed. Regardless, Thr'aloy still punched the Vague soldier, without screaming about the pain. The Vague kept beating Thr'aloy up, until he fell on the floor. The monster fired his gun at him again, making a large hole through his brain, while letting out a metalic roar. Thr'aloy lay lifeless, unable to move.

Vague - Yes...accept your fate...

Before the Vague could fire at Thr'aloy once again, the Omega Commander appeared on the horizon and fired its weapons at the Vague, tearing it apart. Zr'Ahgloth landed and grabbed Thr'aloy's dead body.

Zr'Ahgloth - HELP MAN FER ROZ'TAH'FLOKS SAKE

Zr'Ahgloth, with Thr'aloy's body, teleported back into the ship. In UNOL's chamber...

Dalverat - What did I tell you? Zr'Ahgloth - SHUT UP MAN DIS WULDNT HAV HAPPEDN IF YOO DIDNT GO AROUND CURSIN HIM Dalverat - ''Oh, so I'm to blam now? Well we'll see who's to blame for when I've sucked your blood...'' Zr'Ahgloth - ''YOO DO DAT AN IMMA CRUSH YA. OI TUOLOG MAN WILL THR'ALOY B ALRITE?''

Tuolog shook his head.

Tuolog - ''Take him to medical room. He need be on heavy life support.'' Zr'Ahgloth - GOTCHA

Zr'Ahgloth took him there.

Tuolog - I should have told you...I knew Thr'aloy not going to survive. - ''What? Why not tell us that?'' Tuolog - I not normally allowed to tell you future, remember? Kralgon Emperor - ''It's no big deal. We can always clone him back.'' Tuolog - You can, but there better ideas. Kralgon Emperor - Like? Tuolog - ''Well, the Vague want us dead, right? Let's annoy them and keep Thr'aloy alive. This show Vague we not let them kill us.''

The rest of UNOL though about it.

Yogtam - ''Well we'll have to to a lot of rebuilding on his body first. He lost quite a few vital organs.'' - From examination, Thr'aloy cannot be completely repaired with UNO's current technology. Kralgon Emperor - ''What then? Put him in a wheelchair?'' Tralkik Commander - No. The issue here is that he's lost all'' his blood, we can't repair his brain properly for his combat situations, his skin is too weak after being nearly evaporated, and he'll need new muscles. The designs we have for artificial nanomachine muscle strcutres are only prototypes. However, the has this technology.'' Feldosia - So we'll have to deal with Zaarkhun to rebuild Thr'aloy... Tralkik Commander - I am afraid so. Kralgon Emperor - ''Hmpf. Alright.''

On UNO's screen, appeared on transmission.

Falrik Zaarkhun - ''Ah, the Unified Nation of Ottzello. How's things been with you? Want to do business?'' Yogtam - Zaarkhun, we need your technology to rebuild the body of a damaged soldier. Falrik Zaarkhun - ''I see. You're refering to the technology used in my mercenary, Sollow, correct?'' Yogtam - Yes. Falrik Zaarkhun - ''All right, for the cheapest deal, you can send him to our medical center for us to rebuild him using this technology. Or we could sell you the designs for a much higher price...''

Yogtam looked at the rest of UNOL.

Yogtam - ''What do you guys think? Kralgon Emperor - ''I'm not trusting Zaarkhun with one of our soldiers' bodies. I'd also like to know the technology, should we wish to use it again. Yogtam - ''I see. Zaarkhun, we'll buy the designs.

Yogtam sent the medical analogy of Thr'aloy, and Zaarkhun sent the price for repair. Yogtma's eyes widened as he saw the price, but he paid willingly, and was sent the schematics for the technology necessary to rebuild Thr'aloy.

Kralgon Emperor - Something wrong? Yogtam - He sure wasn't kidding when he said higher price. Kralgon Emperor - ''This is Zaarkhun we're talking about. He used to scam people all the time in his old Consortium...maybe he hasn't stopped, or really doesn't want us to know the technology. But either way, give it at least a few days and we'll have a new Thr'aloy.'' Zr'Ahgloth - ''DAYZ??? DATS DUM'' Kralgon Emperor - ''It won't matter. When Thr'aloy's back, he'll be far better than ever before...'' Zr'Ahgloth - ''oh. fine den''

They could only wait now...

The New Thr'aloy...and New UNOC
In the UNOL chamber, things were going worse than ever.

Kralgon Emperor - At least a dozen colonies lost so far today. Yogtam - We did a grave mistake in not taking these creatures seriously at first. Tuolog - I see only worse times for UNO...future only get much darker...you must be very careful...

There was a grave silence, broken when Zr'Ahgloth charged in the room.

Zr'Ahgloth - WOOOOOOOOOT

Zr'Ahgloth jumped for joy, played a loud rap song and danced to it.

Yogtam - Woah what's going on? Zr'Ahgloth - THR'ALOYS BAK Kralgon Emperor - ''Oh? That was quickier than I though.''

A Loron, with metallic, orange and green skin walked in, the same height and appearance as Thr'aloy but with new armour as well as a new skin. The figure stopped as soon as it walked through, examining everything around it.

Valzo - Is that...Thr'aloy?

Thr'aloy didn't respond, continuing to examine everything.

Zr'Ahgloth - OI MAN SEY SUMFIN Thr'aloy - ''Examinin area...identified as allied territory. Individiuals identified as allies.'' Zr'Ahgloth - DARWISHI GET OFF THR'ALOYS HED Thr'aloy - ''Identified as UNOL. UNOL identified as superiors.'' Zr'Ahgloth - DEY TURNED YOO INTO A DUM ROBOT

Zr'Ahgloth shaked Thr'aloy and smacked him, who punched him back.

Thr'aloy - SHUT YA MOUTH LOSA Zr'Ahgloth - OI YOR ALRITE NAO? Thr'aloy - ALRITE??? AR YOO JOKIN???? I NEVA BEEN SIKKA MAN IM ALL STRONG AN I GOT SIK STRONG SKIN AN I PUNCH PROPA SIK AN IM JUS DA BEST SOLDIER I EVA BIN HURHURHUR'' Zr'Ahgloth - ''SIIIIIK. I THOUGH DEY HAD TURNED YOO INTO A DUM ROBOT LIKE DARWISHI'' Thr'aloy - Well, I can be a dum robot if I want to of course...BUT I CBA DATS BORIN Kralgon Emperor - I have to admit I'm impressed with the results.

Thr'aloy nodded.

Thr'aloy - ''Me too. This body is much stronger than my previous, inferior biological body. Zaarkhun's technology was very powerful, and it explains how Sllow manages to be so strong.'' Yogtam - ''Indeed. Still, never charge at the Vague like you did before, or you'll just get destroyed again.'' Thr'aloy - ''Don't worry. I couldn't have predicted how strong the Vague were, especially considering my inferior intellect at that time.'' Zr'Ahgloth - dats geeky Thr'aloy - ya moms geeky

The Kralgon Emperor suddenly had an idea.

Kralgon Emperor - ''Wait...this gives me an idea. Perhaps we could use this technology on other individuals, and solidify UNOC around it.''

Thr'aloy considered this for a moment.

Thr'aloy - ''That sounds like a good idea. A newly reformed UNOC is something I've wanted for a long time. If I'm given the resources and planning, I could work on it.'' Yogtam - Sounds good to me. Thr'aloy - ''From now on...I am Thr'aloy The Skull, with The Skull my new codename. It fits...as I'm the leader of this new unit, I'll have to be rather headstrong.'' Dalverat - ''Ooooh look how smart he is. Feh.'' Thr'aloy - SHUT UP DALVERAT GO SUK SOMEONES BLOOD Dalverat - Now that you mention it, I am kind of hungry. Thr'aloy - ''SO AM I MAN...EVEN THO IM MOAR MACHEEN DAN LORON I STILL NEED FOOD. AN I HAS GOOD APETITE FER KATEL...''

Dalverat prepared a Dark Gyronic blast before Tulog got into their way.

Tuolog - You both stop it.

Thr'aloy and Dalverat stepped back, both irritated.

Dalverat - Hmpf. Thr'aloy - Very well. Yogtam - ''So, let's use the System to find individuals who can be inserted in UNOC. It shouldn't be hard.'' Tralkik Commander - Processing individuals currently.

The Tralkik Commander scanned the DNA of each individuals, as well as their current conditions, and finalised the selection.

Tralkik Commander - ''In addition to Thr'aloy, Darwishi and Dalverat, we have multiple new possible members of UNOC who would be immediately valuable, and others of whom are a secondary possibilty for future members. We have a, a , a Zazane, a , and I've taken the liberty to create designs for a new perfect for tis role.'' Yogtam - ''Excellent. With all these individuals together, UNOC will be a force to be feared.'' Tralkik Commander - ''I'll simulate battles in which they canbe involved in, to ive tem a traumatic experience thatcould be beneficial to their preparation as UNOC members. Let's see...sending them to the Vague would be too dangerous...no, criminals within the Unified Nation will be too easy for them now...I've got it. We'll send them on battles against the Wranploer Legion, the Devourer's Cosen, wak them into Rogue Boyz ambushes and prepare some sort of mission that could turn them into the best soldiers they can possible be.'' Tuolog - ''Sending them to the Chosen would be biggest challenge. If they survive corruption, it shows they are strong willed.'' Tralkik Commander - Indeed it would...A series of events that could occur in the minimal time possible and the mininum resurces spent...I'd say two days and we've prepared them as UNOC members. Valzo - Harsh... Kralgon Emperor - ''It's war, Valzo. Of course it's harsh.'' Thr'aloy - ''Stand by, Tralkik Commander. We'll digitally make all the calculations and prepare blueprints for the UNOC members, to maximise their combat strength, if you wish to proceed?''

Zr'Ahgloth booed.

Zr'Ahgloth - oi quit bein geeky an lets get sum pizza alredy Thr'aloy - pizza lata man dunt ya wanna maek da sik troopas wiv us Zr'Ahgloth - ''WAT DO YA MEEN WIV PIZZA LATA? R U DUM'' Thr'aloy - FINE DEN PIZZA NAO WE PREPAR DA TROOPAS AT DA SAEM TIEM K

The two Loron friends left, leaving UNOL alone, sighing. Some things never change...
