Moem The Beginning

These powerful beings were more than synthetic replicated flesh over metal with a computer chip for a brain. They were the most advanced robotics of their type. They had been created for one purpose. Their sole objective was to destroy all human life. So far they had managed to wipe out half of the smaller planets in the known galaxy.

The three larger planets, Melina, Betrix and Terra were next. Melina was the smallest of the trio and was already targeted for invasion. The peaceful planet was occupied with under fifty percent humans mostly unarmed. The rest of the planet was inhabited by friendly aliens who co-existed in peace without so much of a hint of the impending danger heading their way.

Mahakala, self proclaimed Lord of the dark worlds and the leader of this vile war, had long ago vowed to avenge the deaths of his wife, Iberia and his two sons, Phaltos and Ithen. He was a young man then, full of hope and belief that he was fighting a just war.

While he was off fighting for the Federation, his wife and children had been captured by the Moabs, a fierce band of outlawed renegades who had grown in numbers large enough to pull a surprise attack upon a remote military outpost of Melina where his wife and sons were living.

They were kidnaped along with the visiting President of the Federation, his family and military staff. Negotiations began.

Things did not go well. Miscommunication and slow delivery of the renegade's demands of money and aircraft resulted in the deaths of his wife and sons. Expendable because they held no leverage, no bargaining power in the outer worlds.

Eventually deals were made. The President, his family and staff were released. Mahakala's's family came home too. In metal coffins. But nothing was done to avenge their deaths and eventually the whole matter was swept under the carpet.

When Mahakala protested this outrage, he was reassigned to a far distant mining outpost on the planet Bergun. He would remain there isolated with virtually no physical contact with the outer worlds for ten years.

Mahakala thought of little else but how to overthrow the Federation and bring it to its knees. The grim atmosphere of Bergun gave the brooding Mahakala time to think about how he would accomplish such a feat.

To start, most of the men working in the mines were prisoners. Hardened criminals with life sentences and no prospect of parole. Mahakala quickly released them from their prison cells offering them freedom if they would fight with him against the Federation.

From one man in particular, Mahakala learned the art of black magic. The type of magic he delved into was beyond the normal spell casting, soothsaying, or levitational powers. This particular magic involved the molecular changing of his body through shape shifting.

One minute he was human and the next he was a powerful necromancer with super human strength. He was also taught how to leave his body and enter other realms and dimensions at will. It was there he learned many secrets of the universe which eventually enabled him to become a supreme being in his own right.

Of course, there were other highly evolved beings who also had these same powers which Mahakala had to reckon with. But his power was stronger and he quickly defeated many of his adversaries. Over the years his evil grew and knew no boundaries. Innocent lives were sacrificed as the recruited victims he sent into battle died for his evil cause.

Mahakala would then snatch their spirits and send them to the Bardo, a black hole in the universe, where they would remain enslaved to him until they were reborn once again to do his evil bidding.

With the help of the world's top scientists who had been kidnaped and forced to live on Bergun where there was no hope of escape, his robotics were built to perfection. In the last five years unstoppable cyborg killing machines were sent into space to destroy all planets with humans living upon them.
