Legend of the Sun God

By  Fali



Long, long ago, the many Gods of the Elements were worshipped on the planet
of Usenet. Specifically, in alt.flame, the Sun God was worshipped by a cult
of priests of Fire. Things were peaceful for a while, and the Sun God became
more and more trusting of the Humans. Then, one day, a powerful Priest
strove to become a Sun God himself and backstabbed the Sun God, stealing his
power to take it for his own. The angry Sun God attempted to fight the
Priest and his followers off, but, lacking much power in his humanoid form,
He was defeated. With only a small amount of power left to Him, the Original
Sun God left the planet, becoming a small star- only a mile long and less
that in width, right outside the Usenet planet. From there, for a year and
half, the star sat there. And slowly, the Star grew more powerful from His
(the Sun God) own power again.

The Priest took the name of the "Sun God" in place of the Elemental who
deserved it and reigned in that power for a year. Then, midway through the
next year, the Original Sun God's Star had grown powerful enough to go by
the Sun God's plan. The Sun God intended to let loose with all of his
remaining power in a small Supernova which would destroy not only the evil
Priest, but also the rest of the Usenet planet.

Several of the other elements pleaded with the Sun God to stop, but the Sun
God refused. Finally, the Moon God made his decision. With the assistance of
the Wind Goddess, the Moon God made a plan to stop the Sun God's angry fires
by enclosing the Sun God inside of a new Moon. So, the day came when the Sun
God began to let loose His flames onto the Usenet planet. The very heat of
the flames themselves hit the alt.flame area of the Usenet planet, killed
every living being there, and turned it into a ruined desert.

Before the flames could get very far, however, an unnatural Wind flew
through the vacuum of Space itself and turned the fire. The confused Sun God
did not realize He was being herded by the Wind Goddess until She had
enclosed all of His being inside a small area.

The Moon God used all of his power at that moment to form a barrier around
the Sun God's flames, a New Moon hanging over the Usenet planet, and to put
a race of people with His intelligence and knowledge onto the New Moon so
they could keep the Sun God at bay for centuries. These were the first
Lunarians.

These first Lunarians, among which was the Moon God Avatar (in one of his
early forms), established a high-technology civilization on the surface of
the planet. They breeded like Humans, ate various fruits and vegetables from
the Usenet planet, and established a single democratic government for their
people.

Millennia passed, and still these Lunarians managed to thrive. Until one
day, they figured out how to give their computers intelligence. That was
their fatal mistake.

Computer-run Gears, Robots, and other assorted combat technology fought very
suddenly and very fiercely against its creation, the Lunarians. With the
help of the current Moon God Avatar, a single family escaped the cities
before the other Lunarians were ultimately destroyed.

The Moon God Avatar realized the family that had escaped was not enough to
keep the Sun God's power at bay; already, He could feel the Sun God's rage
building anew. With His final strength, He once again created a new race of
Lunarians... but these ones had a fatal flaw. Most of them did not have the
collective power or intelligence to establish such powerful technologies so
quickly or keep the Sun God at bay for that matter. Instead, many of them
were simply as intelligent and powerful as any normal Human being while
others had intelligence and power that would have rendered them geniuses in
the original Lunarian civilization. The more intelligent, more powerful
individuals were dubbed by the next Moon God Avatar "Innocents" for their
inability to grasp the evils of human nature. While most of the new
Lunarians could not alone keep the Sun God trapped inside the Moon, even a
single Innocent could hold the Sun God back for as long as a century.
(Though most Innocents had no idea what an Innocent was, let alone that they
were Innocents themselves- later on, that was the case with Relm.)

The Innocents, however, were dying. They did not fit in with the typical
Lunarian and often were ridiculed by those who did not understand them. Many
were simply murdered, while others did not recieve proper medical care when
ill by untrusting doctors, while still others did not understand the
intensity of their abilities, became depressives, and committed suicide.

This left very few by the time Erik was chosen as the new Moon God Avatar.
By the time the Clone Wars begins, the only one left was an unsuspecting
Relm Arrowney. And soon, she was dispatched by Mr. X.

The Moon God Avatar, Erik, knew there was only one hope left for the Usenet
planet now. That was in the original family who had escaped the original
Lunarian civilization when its technology was destroying it. Members of the
family had since become part of the second Lunarian civilization. Due to
mating between the two forms of Lunarians, the blood lines had gotten
somewhat convoluted through time, and many descendants of the original
family had lost almost all of the original Lunarian blood.

There was only one Lunarian left with enough of the original blood to help
fight the Sun God's rage. That Lunarian was the great FuSoYa, political
leader and warrior for their causes. Unfortunately, the Organization had it
in mind to kill FuSoYa, and soon.

At first, Erik politely encouraged mating between the last original
Lunarian, FuSoYa, and the last Innocent, Relm, so they could continue the
bloodline and keep the Sun God from taking power again (this was before she
died) and FuSoYa vehemently argued against the very idea.

Erik became aware of the Organization's plans and, to save FuSoYa's life,
agreed to assist in the Invasion. The Invaders from the off-planet
subsection of the Organization invaded the Moon with their own agendas and
attacked the palace. Playing a double-agent, Erik put FueySoYa in the line
of command and had a surprised FuSoYa thrown into the Lunarian prisons(he
kept this from the Organization, who would have had FuSoYa assassinated had
they known he still lived). This kept the Lunarians somewhat disorganized,
and only organized enough to keep the Lunarian Invaders back. Erik spent
much time negotiating with Mr. X in the hopes of getting Relm to the Moon so
she might mate with FuSoYa and have child while she still had a chance. An
unsuspecting Mr. X seemed to be perfectly fine with Erik's plans....but
unfortunately had a hot temper, and killed Relm just after Craxton defeated
FueySoYa on the Moon, obliterating the entire scheme. :-)

With no leader, even a false one, the Lunarians became even more
disorganized. Erik was resignedly aware that the days of the Lunarians were
coming to an end. He and the Wind Goddess, Lehgraia, made attempts to unify
the Lunarian Inner Council enough to keep the Invaders back while he spent
time trying to figure out a way to save the Usenet planet from the upcoming
attack of the Sun God.

Soon after, during an attack by the Lunarian Invaders, the Sun God broke
free of the shackles of the Moon in a limited Humanoid form, raging for the
"Moon" and the "Wind" who had trapped Him for so many millenia.

Erik realized the only reason the Sun God had such limited power was that
FuSoYa was still alive. So, he and Lehgraia freed FuSoYa and his companions
and had them flee, knowing FuSoYa was the final hope.

Erik's decision, you see, was to stall the Sun God while FuSoYa fled, at the
cost of his own life. Then, the Moon God could put his energies into
FuSoYa's body- it stood a chance of working, though the Moon God usually had
his energies put into a body at birth so as to be a complete Avatar. The
Moon God had no choice after that as to what FuSoYa did and could only hope
that FuSoYa found some way to defeat the Sun God for once and for all while
he still could.

But, if FuSoYa can not find some way to defeat the Sun God in His limited
form with the help of the remaining powers of the Moon God within about four
weeks, the Moon will explode and the Sun God would be allowed to continue
His sinister plan to destroy the Usenet planet.....
