Fiction:Iron Soldier

Origins
On planet Zao, A marvellous creature evolved: the Sirwita. These creatures marvelled and amazed scientists from every corner of the galaxy, as they were a rare breed of solitary sentient creature, and with a lifespan of 20000 years, some of them could develop by themselves interstellar travel, while some of them were still stuck on hunting. Axqua, a Sirwita born in 248 555 973 A.TD. (after the [[Media:Disaster]]) Developed interstellar travel quite quickly, as he was a genius of his kind. He rapidly created a large company called "legendary enterprises", and created most of the captain tech we see today.

Xan, the first Iron Soldier
Axqua then aquired a powerful technology after the [[Media:ARX]] events, called "the suit". The suit was a simbyotic nanotechnological weapon, and was basically a giant mechanical anti-body. It would scan the technology it was trying to destroy, find a weakness and exploit it. But Axqua lacked the requiered gene to wear it and not go insane. He then created a galaxy wide campaign to find a commoner with the "ARX gene" but nobody showed up. Then, when all hope was lost, the scanners picked up a signal from Zao itself: Xan, a young Sarwita who had just discovered fire, had gotten the gene through radiation from the explosion of ARX. Axqua picked him up immeadietly, and offered him a job as a tester in his company.

Aquoa, The colony of Salvation
Xan was taken on Aquoa, a small colony on a moon of a gas giant on the outskirts of the galaxy. Once on the planet, he was fitted the suit for testing, proving it had great moving and mimetising capabilities, being able to become nearly completely invisible, flying higher than even the atmosphere and enaching the physical strengh, stamina and speed of its user. But before the data could be analized a misterious character named "Bunker" attacked Axqua's HQ on the planet, and threatened to kill him for "destroying his body". Aldo the colossus had a clear physical and size advantage, he was quickly dismissed by the suit's powerful rocketry. Axqua contacted Xan, and explained that somehow some bandits managed to breach his security and take his tech. Xan made short work of them, but discovered that the equipment had already been distributed, and that most of the bandits in the colony had at least a plasma pulse.

The Lands Beyond
Next, Axqua wanted Xan to test the suit in a harsh enviorment, sending him to a planet in the same system called Gemini. The planet had a "twin core" meaning it was basically to planets who ad collided and had yet to comepletely fuse together. After some successful testing, Xan found a bandit base between the ruins of an ancient civilazation, wich was using the unique magnetic frequency of the planet to bypass Axqua's security systems. Before he could stop them, they hit him with a magnetic blast, sending him in a catatonic state. All of a sudden, the suit did something totally unexpected: it turned sentient, Fighting the bandits for Xan. When he woke up, nothing was left: the suit had pulvirized everything. Axqua explained that as much as the suit could love him like a brother, it was still a weapon, and so did not understand mercy. Returning to Aquoa, Xan found it to be nearly completely destroyed by Bunker, who now was far more powerful than before, having joined the Grox to get vengance and turning into "Slaughter".

Revelations
In the ruins of Aquoa, Xan fights Slaughter to prevent more deaths, as his enemy was now a WMD at the service of the Grox. But before he could do so, The villain shot him with a powerful [[Media:Heat Ray]], Temporarly killing the suit. He then proceeded to explain that Xan wasn't the only one with the ARX gene. Not long before him, Axqua found Slaughter to be the only Quinal in the Galaxy to have the gene, and hired him. But when he proved not to be able to handle the suit despite having the gene, His boss quickly tried to dispose of him, completely destroying his back and head. Fortunately, his engineering abilities and paranoia led Slaughter to build a second, mechanical brain long before, on case something happened to the original, and so he created his armor. He also revealed that Axqua was perfectly aware of the bandit base on Gemini, and sent Xan there to bring out the true power of the suit.

With the suit still dead and his knowledge of its weakness, Xan decided that he could not live in a world were the behavior of people was dictated by weapons, and charged Slaughter in attempt to destroy the suit in the process. But the Grox came prepared and it is revealed that Slaughter's new body parts hide an anti-matter bomb, and the hole colony is taken with them.

Epilouge
It is seen in the epilouge that Axqua indeed survived the explosion, thanks to the technology of a Dronox whom had crashed two years before and traded it for new hydraulics for his legs (wich he never recieved), and is looking intensly for magnetic traces of the suit or Slaughter, but he is informed that those are the only two objects missing from the scan.

Trivia
-The Dronox mentioned in the Epilouge is an easter egg in the original adventure, "Iron Soldier". -In the same adventure, a King spoffit can be found near the tallest tower were Bunker is battled. In the description it says "it stands were heaven and earth collide."
