for Composer in War for Mobius: Rise of Chaos
Suggested by AutobotSonicFan
Centuries ago, there was an alien race known as the Ancients, who conquered and destroyed every living thing and every planet they lived on to ensure destruction to the galaxy. Then they arrived on the planet of Mobius, rich with energy powerful enough to make a supernova look like a firefly!!! They sent the youngest and most unique member of their race to scout Mobius, take its energy, and bring it back. He believed in peace and tranquility whereas his entire people and family relished in death and darkness. He thought he was the only one who wanted peace. But after saving the peaceful inhabitants of Mobius, specifically the Echidnas, an ancient tribe of peaceful guardians of Echidna Island, from a great flood that would have rendered them extinct, he saw he was not alone. His name was Chaos. Despite his name, Chaos tried to convince his people that they do not have to be monsters. But they were too greedy for power and killing than Chaos thought, and decided to eliminate the turncoat of their race. And so began the war. That was when Chaos created the seven Chaos Emeralds, each giving an individual nearly unlimited power. Altogether would make them invincible. But the Ancients desired victory so they copied his work and made a bigger Emerald to neutralize Chaos’ seven: the Master Emerald! In the war, both sides fought with their Emeralds, but Chaos had the entire planet of Mobius on his side while the Ancients had their robotic warriors known as the Titans, energized by the Masger Emerald. And when Chaos used the Emeralds on himself, he evolved into a form none of his people would dare to become: Perfect Chaos. Within minutes, he brought each of the super-powered Titans to oblivion.
