Fandom Wars

[This story is incomplete and will be updated very slowly over time]

Prologue
In the known universe of the living exist four realms of existence. From top to bottom these realms are known as their human designations as the real world, cyber space, official fiction, and fan fiction. Only those from the real world have the ability to go into the lower three realms at sheer will as they are artifical creations from the real world. Those from the real world have the ability to bring entities inhabited by the fan fiction realm into that of official fiction, primarily through copyright and merchandise. The birth of cyber space came to be when the real world author HP Lovecraft constructed his fictional chaotic devil god Azathoth, unintentionally sending him between the realms of official fiction and the real world. Upon the birth of cyber space Azathoth was the sole fictional entity to have a mind of his own independent from his now deceased creator. Thanks to Azathoth's reality constructing powers he formed much of the life that would form the foundations of cyber space and had bring other Lovecraftian creations as his body guards. Over time humans of the real world constructing their own avatars in cyber space to have more access to official fiction, making the gigantic realm a superhighway of information and legions of various fandoms. After much deliberation Azathoth also ascended from official fiction the two most powerful franchises, in his opinion, to aid in his guard.

The first franchise was Demonbane, a giant robot franchise based heavily in literary works including those of his master and with Elder God Demonbane being confirmed as the most powerful entity in all of fictional history and served as the prime champion. The second was Warhammer, a fantasy and science fiction franchise with a massive mythos with some of the most advanced technology and powers ever conceived being granted from that realm; soon after this the Warhammer fandom pledged allegance to the protection of Azathoth to maintain the balance of cyber space. The six main entities of Warhammer were the second in commands: The Emperor of Mankind, Horus, Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh. At one point there was a seventh named Malal who was more powerful than any one individual on Azathoth's court. However, Malal was tossed out by humans of the real world for reasons known only to the council, although considering his prideful past many assume he was planning on conspiracy and was caught.

What little was known was that with Malal being tossed away, along with his followers, he was sent between the spaces of official and fan fiction, almost retroactive continuity or "retcon" erasing from existence, but failing. Malal used his followers which consisted of his own nightmarish demons and a legion of space marines called the Sons of Malice. The Sons of Malice were able to travel back into cyber space unlike his demons which were mere extensions of his being, but these marines were too few in number to cause any serious change on their own. Throughout the middle ages of cyber space the Sons of Malice used various forms of terrorist threats, but most of them were easily slaughtered soon after by the various fandoms they had wronged. Eventually the nine largest super-fandoms, fandoms formed from media rather than franchises, formed a coalition to stop the Sons of Malice which consisted of: The Animation Avengers, the Literary Librarians, the Tabletop Tenacious, the Movie Marauders, the Comic Crusaders, the Television Tribe, the Music Maestros, the Toy Tinkerers, and the Gaming Glory. These nine each forged masterpieces of raw data called the celestial stones, all of them having hive minded information across one another which allowed instant notification if anything within the super-fandom's juristiction went awry. Rumor has it within the high rankings of these nine groups that a tenth stone was created in case the other nine were out of control, but no physical evidence supported this.

The tokusatsu fandom was one of the few major fandoms not to be taken under the wing of any super-fandom as it had no one dominent media and as such did not acquire any of the benefits this coalition gave. However, a member of the Warhammer fandom named Clint L. Werner, an author in Warhammer's literature in the real world, became an administrator on the small site of Kaiju Phile to alert this coalition if the Sons of Malice ever formed a base their. While they never did, this ushered in a new technology that would be what set the following wars into motion: the core stats. The idea was originally to take representations of those from the realms of official and fan fiction into cyber space for battles. While most fandoms did not care for fantasy matches, the tokusatsu fandom was heavily driven into combat oriented methods. Clint had introduced this idea based on Warhammer codexes which gaved detailed information on all participants. Various inventors  eventually constructed this technology for gladitorial purposes, eventually constructing orb-like computers that contained all necessary data to replicate. Before long it was discovered that out of all the medias that were adapted, video game entities were the easiest to control.

Then he came.

He went by many names in several fandoms such as alienhulk2099, DuelGundam2099, Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion, Yapool Seijin, and Captain Shark, but for the sake of a consistent name his record simply referred to him as J. Very little was known about J before he entered to tokusatsu fandom, although he came with radical ideas and opinions that more often than not got deep under the skin with his peers. In the fantasy matches he brought forth many combatants that were exceptionally obscure and little to no familiarity with others. Nobody knows for certain if J was a great lier, insane, or if he genuinely believed everything he said; most agree that based on his speech he likely came from an educated or sophisticated background. He eventually became the primary core stat constructor on the site of Toho Kingdom which gained the attention of conservative mafias that ran TK's underworld and corrupt politicians and cops. Thanks to literal mob mentality and bribery to the site's moderators with the administrators not wanting to get involved for reasons still unknown to this day the fantasy matches were cleansed of video game and fan fiction characters with brawls involving more than 5 combatants be approved by corrupt officials.

However, the damage J caused to Toho Kingdom's otherwise strictly conservative mentality was too serious to ignore. During the mob mentality it was discovered that if they used their core stat gladiators they could conquer the entire tokusatsu fandom. Within weeks this caused a violent civil war that permenantly damaged the fandom's reputation and costed the lives of hundreds of innocent people to the blood-thirsty barbarians. Eventually many influenced  by J attempted to use obscure entities with  core stats and with the aid of the fandom's largest site, Henshin Justice, and Clint the more rational individuals could fight the war-mongerers and their kaiju armada. The rationals eventually won with every kaiju site being under a permanent police state to prevent such atrocities from happening again.

Malal was impressed by how much anarchy and destruction was left in the wake of social disagreements. Malal had influenced J in his dreams to construct fictional entities based around the idea of core stats and on a massive scale, replicating entities from many different franchises and medias under one giant umbrella. J, unaware of this, would only work with video game entities, but adaptions were no off the table and Malal was pleased with his influences nonetheless. Malal also discovered that in his sleep J had the uncanny ability of "After-Sight", allowing him to see into the distant past at different points in history that had transpired, almost as if he had a direct link with time itself. J was even able to see a pair of zodiacs constructed from twelve different companies and twelve different franchises that formed a "kaiju code", a three dimensional map of various genetics, technologies, energies, and chemistry that could be used to slay any kaiju. Both of these zodiacs were united under a thirteenth zodiac pertaining to the company Banpresto and their all-star crossover video game franchise Super Robot Wars. Malal could not only construct the ultimate minion from this code, but he found something even better that he only caught a glimpse of: Azathoth's weakness.

Combined with stat replication capabilities, J eventually constructed the fan fiction setting called the Bloodstone Star, a giant star that, in its own canon, was populated by mercury based organisms called the metallites that organized the sands of time until one of them was tainted by a ring and mind controlled to slay his entire species and turn the star into a metallic fortress base where he replicated entities from across various universes. Said fan canon also allowed one survivor granted powers from dimensional entities that gave him a body to fight the replicated combatants. These characters were eventually given names: The surviving metallite would be named Digamma and the mind controlled metallite The Architect, later his real name being Heta; both names deriving from obsolete Greek letters to make them more distinct. However, Malal came across a serious problem, while J had massive disagreements with video game and brawl banning in the fantasy matches he was perfectly okay with fan fiction entities not being used and thus never created any for his own.

Malal eventually forced his followers to bring J to the inbetween spaces, but his will was virtually unbreakable no matter how hard Malal tried to alter his mind. No amount of rhetoric or disturbances or repeats of any of his memories could move him, almost like a hurricane trying to erode a mountain and failing every time. J eventually told him he was willing to help Malal on the condition that the kaiju portion of the tokusatsu fandom pay horribly for his mistreatment. Not wanting to waste this opprotunity to exact his own revenge, Malal unwillingly agreed. J was to summon the official fictional character of Morgoth from the JRR Tolkein Middle-Earth mythos, Malal instilled his hatred of Azathoth into Morgoth and slowly manipulated him from the shadows. Upon Morgoth being used to slay J his powers were used to give rise to J's creation Heta and used an unused warehouse site J built himself to house many core stats he constructed. Heta used this to form the site known as Pixel Galaxy with the Bloodstone Star acting as the core and Malal wanted to thank J to some degree so he had Morgoth order Heta to destroy the tokusatsu fandom.

During this time a game developer from the real world named Simon Strange created the site of Sunstone Games to form Colossal Kaiju Combat, a series of video games and trading cards that mass produced the ascension of fan fiction entities to official ones which gained massive appeal, espeically since trading card monsters could become video game monsters by democratic vote. Malal used this opprotunity to lead Digamma via influences of magic into cyber space to make him a video game character so Heta could use him if needed. Although Malal's plan only worked with Digamma gaining trading card status without video game status, within the course of months the vast majority of sites fell to Pixel Galaxy's gigantic armada of core stat replicants, most notably the Army of 1000 Kaiju, and Sunstone Games eventually became the last site of the fandom to remain.

The body guards of Azathoth soon took note of this and entered the fray due to out of control power, but with the exception of Elder God Demonbane they were neutralized by core stats, sending them back to the realm of official fiction, and would eventually become part of the Pixel Galaxy forces through replication. The Warhammer fandom also noted this as the vast majority of their Fantasy section had been neutralized soon after with the exception of the lizardmen as they were not adapted into video game format. The Emperor and Horus tried to have Simon surrender to form an alliance, but to no avail as Simon refused if it costed the fans their freedom, and soon had much of his fleet terminated when Heta used an extremely powerful weapon from the real world called the Magnavox Light Gun. Shortly after, Morgoth was neautralized by a core stat of his being constructed and activated, the Emperor and Horus made a second visit, this time Horus fought him with both of them being critically injured and had to return to the council. During the beginning of the rebuilding process Malal opened a warp storm using all the magic he could from his position to suck in Heta and Pixel Galaxy to an unknown section of cyber space where he took direct control of him. However, before this Heta had given Digamma a secret core stat as the final trump card should Sunstone Games ever need it with only Simon and his staff knowing that the core stat was on Elder God Demonbane. If they ever use it and neutralize Azathoth's otherwise invincible champion it would undoubtedly create an opprotunity for many power hungry individuals throughout cyber space to fight Azathoth to steal his throne and if Malal completed the kaiju code and an entity called the Omega Beast that contained this code he could easily defeat Azathoth before anyone else and reign supreme.
