Chapter One

Long time ago, towards the end of the twenty-second century, mankind had moved forward with their civilisation. Earth is no longer our only home. Different planets play a part in providing humans with a place of comfort for them to start their new home. And so one spaceship of The United Nations landed on the surface of Dustromedian just a few years before the new century arrives. The crew was made up of nine different royal families and a few hundred civilian families. The first thing they did was to find the strongest spot for a signal to connect with Earth. And so they did. A mark they stated on a piece of blank paper as the letter "X". Explorers were sent out to venture the small planet. Also to fill up the blank paper to become a map. Soon X became a big city. The only city in existence on Dustromedian at that time. Then the special diamonds were found in many different spots all around the planet. There were so many. And incredibly shiny and attractive. Not long later, X's scientists figured out the unique abilities of these diamonds. And they dig them up and brought it back to X. The heads of the royal families gathered around their meeting table discussing about the diamonds and plans to start a fixed currency on the new homeland. Soon, the leader of all the heads, head of the Williams family, found out that the diamonds can not only strengthen their connections with Earth but also they could speak and report to their leaders back at the primary homeland. And so words spread. News, and almost everywhere on Earth people know about the amazing planet of Dustromedian. Unlike Mars, Dustromedian has similar air quality as that of the Earth. No one is needed to wear spacesuits when they go outside. And facts about the amazing diamonds also spread around Earth. Even Mars heard about it. A few years passed and another spaceship arrived from Earth. A spaceship that belongs to a private company named Hayden. Some went to live in X while the others build another city with the permission of the royal families. They just named it after their company. Many years passed and the next generation took over the ruling for both X and Hayden. The new leader of Hayden wanted to expand even though X has a bigger population than them. So he went on and build another city without acknowledging the royal families. A was built with very fine structures. The new buildings are mostly made out of the diamonds they selfishly digged up most of it, leaving behind many craters with a few of them left. However frustrating, the royal families conducted a peaceful meeting with the leader to talk about this inappropriate action. But the leader didn't care about whatever they were saying. Instead, he offered them something. Which is whoever agrees to let him do whatever he wants on this planet, he will give them to rule A which he planned to make as the capital of five other cities. All the royal families disagreed except one. The Jax's. He agreed and the leader offered him A. The Jax family soon separated from the royal families. And as promised, the leader built four other beautiful cities. All the cities were named after the last few letters in the alphabet. Population grows and people moved into the new cities. A fixed government was created, led by the Jax's. Official laws by Hayden. The royal families knew they were not part of it. The leader had said before, which is to make A as the capital of five other cities. But there are six now. They knew that it's a matter of time before the leader will influence Jax and all other cities that already have a stable government to attack them. The leader had manipulated them good. He was cunning. And so the royal families planned to strike first. They have a big population of loyal citizens who would fight for them. And so the first war on Dustromedian began. X was strong, even though facing six different cities combining forces. Because X has an advantage. They have connections with Earth. Knowing this, the leader decided to just bomb the entire city even though he knows, that would destroy their connections with Earth and cutting resources from coming in. Jax found out and opposed this idea. And he changed sides to help the royal families against the leader. Hayden now stand alone. Because having given Jax the control over all the other cities. Hayden should be in his control too but the leader didn't want to give in without a fight. After weeks of worthless war, the leader finally decided to use his one and only tera-nuclear bomb, the one he planned to use earlier on X. He bombed A with it. Many of the Jax's died. Only a few and other poor families escaped in time because of a warning from a spy who's part of the Williams' family. Sadly the spy was later caught and killed by the leader. The entire city of A was destroyed. Nothing was left except dust as residue. All the diamonds from the building were in pieces on the surface. None was destroyed. The tera-nuclear bomb can't destroy it. The leader took all the diamonds with him back to Hayden. There was a short few months of peace. Peace for the leader. No one dared to oppose him again because they feared that he will release another one of the bombs. Years went by and a new generation took over. Carlos Jax, the last of the Jax's at that time, he decided to build a new city from scratch. The royal families permitted. But Carlos' main intention is to rebuild his family's legacy. Deep down, his hatred for the leader is burning wild. His first action to insult the leader was by reuniting all the cities except Hayden under one nation. The nation of Dust. X was the capital and his and the other cities are all under it. All was given the name zone. Zone X, Zone L, Zone W, Zone Y, Zone V and Zone A. But little did Carlos know that the leader was no longer in control back at Hayden. He was dying and his son had taken over the role. The leader's son, Thomas, was not like his father. He simply likes minding his own business, don't care about other cities or whatever not related to him. So Carlos big plan to bring Hayden down just to get back at the leader was worthless. But he didn't know that. A few years passed and the economy of the zoned cities were booming. Many more newcomers from Earth arrived in Zone X which played an important part as an intergalaxy station for travellers from different planets. The royal families decided it's time they gave all the zoned cities a name so that tourists won't get confused. So they just combined the word zone and X for their city, Zonex. The other cities were given a brand new name or a name starting with its own letter. Valtora for Zone V, Xelona for Zone L, Yula for Zone Y and Warhem for Zone W. Zone A was the biggest city now, soon to overtake the population of Zonex. All due to Carlos' hard work and determination to reach his goals. Many more advanced architectures and technology was built into A. The royal families were proud of him. For what he have become, to them, a different version of Jax that betrayed them last time. So they made A as the capital of all the united zoned cities. The first thing Carlos did to honour this acknowledgement is to name his city with a new unique name. To include all the other cities' initials in his. Avawexiyouz. First letter A for his city, then V, W, X, Y and Z. Then the time when Carlos was ready to take revenge came. He first sent a group of workers out to dig up the diamonds. But they found only very little amount of it. All that was left was just the unwanted, and not-very-shiny diamonds. And Carlos suspected the leader was behind it. Indeed Thomas was the greedy man. He also knew that the other cities will be mad if they found out. So secretly, he built a city deep under the surface. No one knows where he is. At times, they noticed his men, exploring the surface but they never catch their exact location. Everyone found out that Hayden has gone into hiding when Carlos sent a group of soldiers to attack the city. The old city has been abandoned. The royal families had disagreed with Carlos' plan to attack. This increased his anger even more. He even thought that they were against him and were on the leader's side. This resulted in a short fued. Fortunately there were no deaths.

Carlos no longer cared for the little amount of diamonds left. But the royal families do. They collected the remaining and brought back to Zonex, now intending to increase the connection with Mars and the other planets. A scientist from the Williams created the sphere that now we all know about. Being a peaceful person as his family has always been, he encrypted the initials of all the cities including Hayden into the sphere. The encryption was created to be symmetrical. And that became the strange symbol that has been mentioned in part one. Carlos was mad when he found out. He demanded Hayden has nothing to do with the other cities and does not deserve to live on Dust. But the encryption cannot be erased. Carlos planned to discover a way to destroy the diamond. The royal families refused to hand it over. Carlos was not happy, he motivated everyone including the other cities about the importance of sharing. He was referring to the royal families but didn't specify. That was a mistake. The other cities are already half independant. They still have to obey the laws set by Ava. But they could still have their own laws and make a decision only for the sake of their cities. Soon, a bigger war started. All the cities were fighting against each other for resources they demanded by force. Only Ava and Zonex stayed out of it. But a few months later, the cities realised that Ava has a greater amount of resources compared to them and they teamed up against her. Carlos immediately thought of a way to stop them. And he slandered Zonex, stating that they were the real enemy, creating a dangerous weapon that could even destroy the diamonds of Dust. Everyone was scared, they turned their forces on Zonex. And while Zonex was in a chaotic state, Carlos snuck in and stole the sphere. He brought it back to Ava and placed it at a power generator one of his scientists invented. And it powered up everything that Carlos had created and linked to the system. It was like the whole of Ava lighted up with technology. The techbots came to life. Before, it can only move for a few hours and then has to be recharge for a longer time. Now, it is continuously charging. The war ended after Zonex surrendered. They wouldn't believe the royal families when they said that they were not creating any weapon. So they surrendered. And a new leader was sent to rule Zonex properly under the laws of Ava. The royal families were spared because they took care of Carlos' family once. But they have to live like normal citizens in the city. Carlos sent the techbots to every city and installed the laws and the job of officers in them. So now they're already part of the police force. New laws were added and techbots emphasised them everywhere. Such as the curfew. Violence and injustice of the government could already be seen. But the cities were still hopeful and half independant at that time. They fought for their own rights. This caused Carlos to slander Zonex again. Zonex having the most patient group of people ever and had just fell into the hands of Carlos seemed weak to him. He said that Zonex was forming the most dangerous rebellion in history. But that didn't work on them. They realised it was all a lie because Zonex had just fell into his hands, so how can they already form such dangerous rebellion. No city can fight against Ava so an assassin was paid to assassinate Carlos. He died immediately due to a massive amount of blood lost. He left behind a very vengeful son, James, who was already eligible to become the next ruler. He was a young adult. The other cities wanted to take over but they were stopped forcefully by James. The first thing he did was to change all the rulers of the cities with rulers of his own choice, which mostly were related with him in blood. He called himself and them "superiors". And he tightened the laws and worsened the punishment for it. He didn't do anything to Zonex because the very next thing he did was bomb the city. The royal families had heard about it first from a family spy and they set the ruling system in the compartment where the sphere should have been. As a matter of fact, the sphere was the strongest power they ever had compared to the other diamonds. They found out that the not-very-shiny part of it is the strongest and hence very valuable. For their survival and their seemingly extinct reputation, they set the rules of the returning of the sphere and the blood sacrifice, that at least five royal families have to sacrifice in order for things to be set back how they should be. And just before James bombed the city, they scattered all around Dust, hiding, changing their identity, and surviving. Most of them gave up on trying to stand up for their rights. A lot of them were caught and sentenced to death. But not all for each family still has a few hopeful members. They mixed with the other citizens, just random people. And they learnt to survive, hiding since then. The Williams however made a deal with James that they would help him with everything he want them to do without retaliation if he promised to keep them alive. James agreed. But the Williams were already secretly building the rebellion. Which main mission was the cause to bring back the sphere and the royal families to perform the blood sacrifice. As for James, his scientists built many kinds of inventions like the dome for the cities. And he also alter history. Children at school are to learn whatever that is stated in the syllabus and rules forbidding the mention of true history is established. Many were brainwashed and to the future generation which is now, many thought that the domes were actually for their survival but it's just like a prison. And since then, it led to the story we all know today as mentioned in part one.
