VICE and VESSEL - THE SHADOW WARS PART ONE: SWORD and SPINE

Set in a universe populated by humans, aliens, demons, creatures, robots and androids, and other entities, a universe filled with conflict, corruption, opposing generals and admirals of different backgrounds, deceit, uncontrollable, violent chaos involved with lower tier gangs and mercenaries, both expendable and shadowy background enablers, and largely close to overpopulation, a massive war is growing increasingly difficult by the day. At the heart of it all, one man has a mission to capture the Dark Lord of Power pulling the strings.

For years, the Master, an extremely powerful and vicious, if not malignant, entity and Shadow God otherwise known as DART VESSEL, would lure those he deemed unworthy into his Gactic Chambers, and with only one thing in mind each time: he sought to eradicate all those tricked into entering, from their very existence, in the ensuing chaos absorbing their powers in the hopes of growing immortal. Merely a pawn in a larger game, each and every one of them unsuspecting and vulnerable. None of them stood a chance. Merciless, unpredictable, and practically unstoppable.

Until..

One day, when the resistance led a fight that brought with them perhaps the most heroic of all their fighters, the intelligent warrior, the swift and cunning, the brave but wise VICE MERSIDISI, whose only goal was to capture the malevolent VESSEL, and know of all their secrets, finally ending the largest part of this growing universal conflict. Once gained, disposal of this Lord may be the only option. But time has shown and history has proven that you can only keep him prisoner for so long. And should you choose the route which leads to unadulterated bloodshed, you might only get one shot as is. For VESSEL, his powers can be tamed - they cannot be taken, and what's more is... they have never been weakened.
