Stellar Soldiers (New Version)

Prologue: Stellar Soldiers

The kosmimata jewels are ancient artifacts that possess cosmic powers, formerly belonging to the nebulan empire. It was a gift to the people and its emperor Indurcio, the jewels were given personally by the goddess Virgum as a blessing from worshiping her, those who wore the mythical jewels shall possess divine powers like deities from the above. The jewels can only be accessed by the nebulan emperor and his clan of priests, the moshigas. Though the empire is at the peak of its glory, Indurcio was a tyrant who aimed to expand his empire through conquest, enslaving those who were conquered and initiating wars against neighboring empires.

Murat, his younger brother and one of the priests of Virgum cannot tolerate such violence, he questioned himself how can he fight back if only prayers are his weapon? Then he started to make a stand against his brother, forming a hidden alliance with his fellow clan mates, however a snake told Indurcio about the plan of the rebellion and burst with rage and ordering his soldiers to eliminate all of the clan members with no mercy. When Murat finds out about his brother's plan, he calls eleven priests and priestesses to go with him at the sacred altar and take with them the jewels.

The guards strike the iron gate of Virgums' temple and proceed to kill the Moshigas at their sight. Screams of terror were heard from the outside, the citizens were scared to intrude or they'll be punished. However, Murat and his companions are ready to attack. Purple flames dance from the halls of their home, flaring the soldiers. 'What the hell is that?' The nebulan soldier shockingly says, but then he was answered by his co-soldier. 'I can't say, but the purple flames are burning me!' Murat ran swiftly to the walls and to the ceilings, pointing the ring at them releasing an attack. 'Ring of Guidance: Raging Star!'

The battle continued until dawn, and the nebulan soldiers retreated from the temple, since explosives were planted down and the attacks were just a phase. One of the guardians of the jewels sensed an explosive about to blow up and he quickly shouted for everyone to escape. However,it was too late, so many Moshigas were killed except those who possessed the jewels. Murat cried with a heavy heart, releasing a powerful energy from his body causing a shake to the grounds. 'I will bring justice to those who died and free Imperia to Indurcio's tyranny!

When the nebulan soldiers returned to the palace they reported to Indurcio the events in the temple. He was furious that Murat and his jewels were used against his army and soon he ordered to hunt him down together with his remaining companions. From the vast lands to the seas his minions search for them, desperate he involved the citizens of his empire to violence by burning their homes and locking them down to the dungeons just to find Murat and take back the jewels he stole. Across the seas, Murat collaborated with various empires who yearn to take Indurcio down, with the jewels in their possession, they use its powers to hide themselves and train.

Months passed, Murat declared war to his brother and by the time came, a mass of soldiers marched to the ruined empire with banners raised to the heavens and roars of currents. From the forts of the empire Indurcio is with his soldiers, and as he snaps his finger, explosives are thrown to Murat's allies starting the war.

'MURAT!' Indurcio shouted as he swung his sword to him, 'INDURCIO! To the other, and as their sword clashes the world turned bright. 'Teacher....teacher?' a gentle voice awakened, Etachi. 'Oh, Xiao I...I just had a weird dream again of the nebulan empire, why do I keep dreaming of it? He gazes curiously to his face, 'Teacher probably that the gods have given you clues on how to defeat those undead soldiers of the nebulan's'. He approved, 'You said it right, for many centuries those undead nebulans terrorized and destroyed the lives of many humans, they kept on multiplying like cells. I cannot forget that time when they invaded the star empire.

Memories flourish to the wind, as he remembered the nebulan soldiers' invasion of the star empire. 'Father, why are you running?' He questioned his father while carrying him, 'Son, the empire is under attack. We must protect our people no matter what!' While running, they were ambushed by hundreds of the nebulan army. 'The undead are here, Etachi hold tightly' Frightened, Etachi tightly clinched to his fathers' shoulder. 'Take that ring from the Stellar Soldier and eliminate him!' said one of the nebulan's and then the group roared attacking Hoshigo. 'Ring of Guidance 1st Blessing: Raging Star!' Hoshigo dances to the air, cutting the army with his sword. 'Ring of Guidance 2nd Blessing: Shooting Star!' He dashed straight to the army eliminating them all but Etachi was captured. 'Papa!' The nebulan soldier laughed maniacally, 'Don't you dare take one more step, or his throat will slit, surrender now Stellar Soldier of Guidance and hand us that ring you're wearing. Hoshigo struggles on what to do next, he can't attack or his son will die, by the the enemy's blade. The cries of his son worried him even more, 'Sword Art: Whirlwind Cut!' The nebulan soldier was beheaded, and the man saved Etachi from danger. 'Sidapa, thank goodness!' Sidapa was Etachi's friend, and idol, he is also Hoshigo's successor of the ancient ring and the next Stellar Soldier after him. Etachi was glad that he was saved by him, 'Thank you for saving me, big brother! He pats his head with a smile 'As always my little friend' Sidapa then turns to Hoshigo 'Teacher, the Stellar Soldiers of Light, Purity and the star army have evacuated the civilians to a hidden tunnel a kilometer from here and are ready to battle in defeating the nebulan army and their captains the crimson demons'. Hoshigo nodded and swiftly went to that safe area, and from there the "Rama" or the Highest Emperor, Hanzo guards the evacuations' entrance. 'Rama.' Hoshigo, and the two bowed with reverence, 'Hoshigo, Sidapa, and Etachi, hurry and let's go inside. Do not fear, I've been protecting the area with my nature art, come on!'

They entered the camouflage gates, leading them to a tunnel where the civilians are being protected. 'The army and your co-stellar soldiers are in position Hoshigo'. He faced Sidapa and asked him to guard his son, then Hoshigo and the Rama entered within a larger tunnel revealing a colliseum where the soldiers are divided into battalions, in amazement Hoshigo replied.'Indeed, with these army we can defeat those undead soldiers and there leader.' Hoshigo then saw his son, rushing into him crying and begging his father not to leave him, but he was held back by Sidapa. 'I apologize dear teacher, he was stubborn. Hoshigo paused him with his hand, 'Go now Sidapa and join the army.'Sidapa bowed and looked to Etachi smiling again as farewell.

Etachi whispered 'Big brother' with a sad look subsequently, Hoshigo pats his head, 'You'll meet him again, son.' With a silver lining he smiled and said 'Yes, I'll meet big brother again.' Hoshigo then turned to the Rama and asked him a favor in a whisper, 'My powerful ruler, if for any reason I cannot return alive, please take care of my son.' The Rama nodded, and Hoshigo kneeled down to his child, 'My dear son, take this ring.' He declined, 'But father you'll need that or else you could die!' He proceeds to put the ring to his son's finger, 'Son, this ring will protect you, your friends, and our people, promise me that you will be devoted in keeping them safe.' Without hesitation, he accepted the ring and its gem glowed. Hoshigo quickly walked away down to the coliseum; in Etachi's thoughts he said 'Father and big brother, I promise you, I will be strong.

The flashback ends with Etachi telling what happened next, 'After that, I heard a large bang, underground it was terrifiying since I was a child back in the days, father, big brother and both of your predecessor's were killed that night.' Xiao was surprised and asked again 'My and Haruto's predecessor?' Etachi nodded, 'Indeed, a crimson demon killed them. Luckily the glorious necklace and the purity brooch, teleported back to the empires of serenity and solaria when your predecessors were killed. I swear vengeance to those crimson demons and who is responsible for all of this to happen.' Etachi stands up from the tree he slept, letting the breeze kiss him, then Haruto shouts, "Big brother!" he pants heavily. 'Woah, Haruto you're all soaked in sweat! Here take my handkerchief and wipe yourself up" He smiled acceptingly, 'Thanks!' While he wipes, Xiao teases him, 'Geez you're such an idiot, you could've just walked here in our favorite spot, and now you look like a wet clown!' Haruto was then triggered by his response, 'Clown you say?' He questioned, 'Not gonna repeat it.' Both of them stared angrily, and Etachi claps his hands, stopping the ruckus, 'That's enough you two.' He sighed, 'What is it Haruto and you were running?' He said, 'The great Rama called us, and he said it is very important.' Xiao questioned him, 'How important?' Haruto replied, 'It's something related to the spawning of these nebulan soldiers.' Etachi's eyes open wide, 'Then let's go to the crystal palace quickly! Come on you two.' They proceed to travel back to the star empire, meeting the rama once again.
