IN PROGRESS

It was a forgotten planet, at the fringes of the Universe itself. Hundreds of forgotten years ago, a forgotten struggle had taken place between two forgotten races for a forgotten cause. In other words, it didn't exist. It was barren and rocky, with a normal temperature, neither hot or cold. It was the perfect place for the staging the plans that would decide the fate of the Universe.

His name was Zark. He served one cause: unite a team of fighters that would conquer the Universe. When the Universe first formed, he was one of the ones there. With a group of sixty people, each a different kind of species. Their task was to create planets, stars to light up the planets, and members of their species to live and flourish on the planets. Greed spread like fire in a dry field. It wasn't long before a group of six formed, and began killing off other members, destroying most of their planets as well. He was one of the six. Eventually the group of species dwindled down to the group of six. They had all swore not to betray each other, and peace remained for a short while. But corruption cannot be stopped. With his back turned, one of the group murdered him. The group, in turn, murdered the murderer. With four left, arguing continued, and an every-man-for-himself fight to the death ensued. When two were left, their powers clashed in a raging battle. Eventually one had the other beaten near death, but he unleashed a final assault against the other, killing him. Within minutes he succumbed to his own wounds. No creators were left, only their created species, left to wonder what the flashes in the sky were.

He had enslaved a follower to his cause. A small, scrawny humanoid who called himself Babidi. He forced his powers into a link with his mind: Babidi could enslave people, but Zark controlled them. Not only did Zark contain tremendous power, he had massive mind capability as well. To maintain control, he would project feelings of pain into disobedient followers, making them believe they were going through agonizing pain; in reality it was their nerves sending false messages to their brains. Like the other six creators, he was in Hell, the afterlife of evil fighters. In a corner where none were sealed, just him and the others of the group. It was the Hell of Hell. He couldn't escape it. But he could lure others there. Such as his first victim: Babidi. He projected an image of who he trusted most - a companion whom Babidi called Dabura. The hallucination beckoned Babidi to follow him, until he was in Zark's corner, where he unleashed his mind enslavement upon him.
