Before there
was man, before there was Earth, before there was Planet
Moon, there was the Island: a massive fragment of
shattered planet hurtling through space. One would
immediately think "asteroid" at such a
description, but this is by no means a dead piece of
rock. Even from a distance, its radiant colors and
surrounding waterfalls distinguish it as an anomaly
amidst the dark void of space. Around it, decayed and
splintered asteroids linger like wailful ghosts, jealous
of a true beauty they will never have. On this Eden
wanders the solitary giant, Kabuto. As far back as he
can remember, this has been his home. From whence he
came he does not know, apart from one obscure clue in
the form of the serial number 001, imprinted on his
stomach. He sits alone and longs for company, but the
only thing that has descended from the skies or landed
upon the shores is death and destruction. He now trusts
no one and guards the only thing that has been constant
for him: the Island, his home. And woe to anyone who now
sets foot on it! In the surrounding seas is a band of
survivors called the Sea Reapers. These women once ruled
the Island until they were forced to flee by their own
creation: Kabuto. Originally created as a protector
against alien threats, Kabuto at first obeyed, but as
time went by, he became conscious of his pain, his
loneliness, himself. His solitude drove him to madness,
and he turned on the Sea Reapers, decimating their
numbers and forcing the remainder back to their watery
origins. Out of this weakness arose a new leader, the
Sea Reaper Queen. Badly damaged from its latest battle
in space, the Meccaryn spaceship limps toward the
closest landmass capable of supporting life, the Island.
From orbit, the aliens scan for any possible threat.
There is none, for on this chunk of large but beautiful
rock only the most primitive of life forms exists.
Perfect! Time for repairs. Taking to their landing
crafts, they begin their descent into a world that holds
their only chance of survival and, unbeknownst to them,
a place where they will face Hell itself. Now, don't let
their slight frame fool you. Once encased in their large
body armor, they are ready for anything or, at least,
feel they are. They love a fight, and over time have
learnt how to best protect themselves when going up
against the ethereal sea women or that rather large
giant who dominates the Island. They must travel in
numbers and watch their backs. This teamwork has been
the key to their survival, allowing them to hunt for
their much-needed fuel and resources!!
