The Starchild

The birth is finally over. Elevated in the center of you few last remaining hereos is a cosmic being of pure and untapped potential. The Starchild has, at last, been born. It is the universe's last and only hope.

Cosmo, The Moon Monkey

As soon as Scartax talk dimisses his uncle a screaming ball of dander and spandex leaps toward him gleefully. It is...

Collaspsar Uncaged

Emerging impossibly from the very heart of the sun, consuming its life giving brillance with its very presence in the true form of the great and terrible Collapsar. It's mechanical form is hundreds of times bigger than the Earth itself. Each artifical molecule of it's being a voracious Mechanation machine. It is the preprogrammed death of everything personified. It exists only to consume the universe. It is the undead soul of god uploaded into the ultimate killing mechanism. It is a computer virus designed to scourge away existance itself. And after untold millenia it is finally free!

Mondal Wa'Arbo and the Royal Navy of the Moon

The immense bridge of Scartax's father King Mentak's flagship, Lunarium, appears in the viewscreen of the Comet A lone figure sits pensively in the captain's chair reserved for the leader of the AB-Original race. At first glance the figure resembles King Mentak himself but as he speaks he is revealed to be the king's brother, Mondal. Mondal is Mentak's older sibling but, like most of the Ab-Original population, he was genetically incapable of manifesting super powers. His lack of powers bars him from claiming the throne. Instead he has spent the majority of his life serving as his younger brother's closest advisor and captain of the royal guard.

The Face of Gygek

Time around the Comet slows to a bizarre halt even though the Comet does not. Reality begins to shimmer all around you. In front of the ship appear the massive Face of Gygek, the focal point of all the Gray Emissary's Mon Kai cosmic power. It does not appear happy. You zoom right past it. It now seems surprised

Issue 2.19 Starchild

The Vanguard returned to the Forbidden Zone only to discover that there beloved solar system had been conquered by the entirety of the Zen Kai master race. Each of the inner planets have been colonized with training camps full of superhumans from Earth who have been taken prisioner and forced to fight to the death to prepare for the coming of the Collaspsar. Earth itself has been completely subjugated, the non-powered populated stored as transor energy batteries fueling huge gargantuan robots that render all other technology inert around them. The Zen Kai themselves have invaded enmass, all one hundred and twenty five surviving members of the immortal and nigh unstoppable race. The only refuge our heroes could find was the AB-Originals hiding on the Moon, locked in debate over the best course of action. With the return of Crown Prince Scartax the Vanguard united the squabbling Moon dwellers and led a raid to recover the final two missing Chakra Crystals of Ultimate Power. Once they possessed all seven the Vanguard chose to keep them instead of trusting them to the merciless Zen Kai warlords or to the conviving Mon Kai perservers. The Mon Kai that sent them on this mission, The Gray Emissary, was stunned and enraged by their betrayal. He demands the stones for himself so he can fulfill his murky masterplan. Instead the Vanguard all agreed to entrust them to Mayor Amanda Talbot, and in doing so reingited her miraculous pregnancy. An event that did not go unnoticed. At this every moment the Zen Kai are converging on the comet while inside Amanda has begun labor. To matter matters even more dire the Sun is collapsing in on itself, and from within the ever growing dark spot emerges the dreaded Collapsar itself.

The Leadership Council... of the Moon

The War Room of the Moon is a cacophany of overlapping arguements. There are four figures dominating the table, each with an entourage of servants, supporters, guardsmen and aides behind them. Projected over the meeting table is an illusion of the Earth below. The four council leaders are:
