Main Storyline

== Introduction ==
Welcome to the main storyline of Torn Earth! 🎊
Stretching as far back to the very first post-it note penned in the fateful September of 2014, the main canon lays the foundation the entire universe that has grown forth from it. Albeit, due to acting as the starting point, its original content is quite infantile and very broken in fashion, thus leaving it a hotspot of requiring heavy maintenance on re-evaluation and rewriting the further one looks back on the storyline.
Because of this fact, the content ahead has been intentionally left somewhat vague as decisions continue to be made. Below is a general explanation of the concept of the story before it undergoes final touches. One can also look into this temporary portal where the original story was published (circa 2018), already featuring some retcons and rewrites for its time.
== Foundational Chapters ==
As of now, within Edition -1 and Edition 0 of Torn Earth, the main storyline is broken up into several (unstable) chapters.
=== The Start ===
This region of the story is not actually named, and is usually just merged into "The Merp Chronicles", even though such would not start until atleast about 10 or so post-its into the story. Many episodes of this era are lost, although they, in contrast now, did not hold much water, merely acting as the backboard for concepts to bounce off of and begin defining the stakes. This includes a few episodes of adventuring into old dungeons and fighting off monsters that have all since been retconned, as well as an evil villain that was essentially Creator 2's evil self, or something. Pay no mind.
===The Merp Chronicles (TMC)===
The Merp Chronicles, or "TMC", later renamed as "Corrupted Soil", then re-designated to as TMC within Torn Earth, is the starting platform of the entirety of the story. The series is written on post-it notes shared between two young classmates, and goes into lengthy and random adventures before entering into the next chapter.
====Plot====
The story begins on the first post-it note ever written, luckily retained vs the later undocumented ones.
Felix Kel (now referenced to as 'Old Felix') was minding his business, presumably at some random park within the lovely state of New Jersey for some reason. Suddenly, from the shadows, Joey, an extraterrestrial being, appears to him and tells him his "desk" being invaded (The beginning is totally fourth wall breaking, as several times in the first few post-its, the authors are referenced to on paper). Felix mysteriously has a grenade with him, which he lops at the alien being to defend himself. He then calls the FBI, which he happened to have on fast-dial. After being coerced by Joey, he agrees to help find a home for him, and then proceeds to run away from the FBI he just contacted with the alien creature they now pursue.
Luckily, there is a re-concepted rewrite of this starting story that can be found here.
Here also are the original post-its for your eyes to gaze upon. (So awesome right)

From here, the story picks up slightly with the help of later information: the secret government forces now realize they have a lead on their suspected extraterrestrial that they had been following for quite some time, and begin to make chase on the two, who have quickly bonded and already gone on some pretty random and silly adventures that take them to odd locations such as a mutant-skeleton dungeon, a deep-space dreadnought, a hole in the ground, and so on. This is where TMC actually picks up, after a lost digital episode depicts the two fleeing from some sort of entity. Joey ends up falling into a deep valley, where he.. lays an egg..? I really need to find this stuff.
Afterwards, the FBI finally catches up and happens to find him. Overexcited with this, the agents sedate and load him up into a transport truck, and begin a convoy towards the closest base of operations. This would have gone well, if not for the young Felix; who has magically now trained now in the art of bounty hunting, finds it and blows it up with his hand lol. From here passes a lot of retcon: they hide in a city that delves into anarchy as stuff randomly blows up, allowing the introduction of our first fellow protagonist, Henry, who happens to be going killjoy picking off agents from a rooftop. He momentarily battles Felix before clarifying that he's on their side. Joey has some sort of random evil arc, and flees from his friends, who chase him down after he gets abducted by other aliens (yes, amazing storywriting). Something blows up, they all fall out of the sky and miraculously survive, continuing chasing Joey through a forest before being yet again captured by MORE ALIENS, now revealing the first true antagonist, BLEEPS to the cast.
One really corny battle later, and he's defeated and- oh no: Joey is even more evil. The ship explodes (more falling), Felix confronts Joey about his condition, earning him a punch to the face that quickly reveals a bit of Felix's past life in a mercenary group (even though he's like, super young but, ok child soldier i guess) in a cool sci-fi past that exists because Creator 2 really liked that stuff and now it's a bit of a wormhole to deal with but that's ok I'll figure it out. After that, the ENTIRE group gets captured YET AGAIN whilst a new antagonist cult-like group is revealed plotting to capture Joey before yet another antagonist reveals himself.
Entering into one of the actual-cool early chapters, a character known as "Apex" reveals himself to the group, having.... uhhh... I guess just everyone is out for Joey I guess- a vendetta against him. Anyways, bla bla fight and- oh no, someone flipped the self destruct switch! Everyone falls to the earth again and is fine lmao. It turns out Apex is actually this blind guy named Conner that Felix knows and used to work with (whu?)! Joey escapes the group, causing the three; Henry, Felix, and Conner, to work together to get to him again and prevent him from destroying anything or whatever idk.
Two seconds later, the zombie apocalypse is happening! We don't talk about this. After teleporting into a basement, it turns out that Joey is necromancer now, and oops, he infects Felix on accident, allowing an alter-ego known as "Anti-Felix" to awaken and take control of Felix and lead the group through the apocalypse as it suddenly ends. They then find a SPACESHIP and go to some RANDOM planet, get captured, and then murder a bunch of space pirates in their own base, revealing that Felix isn't Felix! Joey is nice now, and goes into his brain to try and help, before accidentally splitting them apart, making TWO FELIXES (ok i still like some of these ideas but obviously it could be written so much better).
One "Felix Contest" later, and Anti-Felix is sealed into a random mirror by Joey, allowing the group to chillax and go to their favorite local pizza chain
Floppy's Burgers.
Here they meet weirdos Michael Smith and Cameron at said burger joint, who then decide to tag along, when suddenly, OMG, A PLANET CALLED MERP IS APPROACHING EARTH NOW AAAAAAAA
Some old antagonists we don't really care about show up, initiate big fight, lose, and it's all over, having Merp explode for literally no reason. The crew, having saved Earth, go to a nice cabin in the middle of nowhere to take some time to relax (oh yeah Joey is fine now by the way). There, Joey decides to take a vacation-of-a-vacation himself, and randomly returns moments later discarding the idea, although this would later be revealed this was secretly his masquerading brother, known as Joel.
Other characters introduced in this period include Enigma and Lord Pliege, and some others- I guess.
===The Iquris Chronicles (TIC)===
Piggybacking on the momentary pause, the characters disperse into their previous lives to go do things: Felix returning to his old mercenary group to continue work. Here, he meets with his commander, and is given orders to embark on a new mission, which was secretly designed to take him out! Felix survives this however, finding out this was the planning of his nemesis Derth Bennet, who then decides to straight up murder the commander while he is distracted, and turn the faction on him claiming that he was the murderer. Felix escapes this, telling the story to the cast, but not before he gets sent to.. jail?
There's some random space jail part where Anti-Felix is back for 2 seconds and some other people, it's pretty light hearted. The Kydols get shown after Joey hops into a portal for a second or something to fight off some other dude. (I'll rewrite this all later I got distracted lol) Joel and Joey fight, make amends, break people out of jail, meet Mercury, and meet Mercury's friend Bradon. Some other Kydol named Zeph shows up to murder everyone with his sidekick Xaviar, they go back to that cabin where Joey gets poisoned and DIES, and some dude named Carson appears to try and help, before the team go on a vengeance arc to eliminate this new evil guy named Nimek or something, which then leads them right into the hands of..... I forget the other guys name lol.
They save the day and everyone is fine........?
=== The Ender Chronicles (TEC) ===
I haven't gotten around to these postits yet, but there's a lot of butt kicking, world saving, power finding, yadda cool stuff, and a whole lot of other chapters between this and the below I have to catalog. It really isn't that cool honestly- for the time sure, it was fun, but yeah, no new novel writing or anything. Are you actually reading this far anyway?
== The Golden Era Chapters ==
=== Side Story Time ===
Here's a little area that all the side stories mostly get accomplished, more relative to our actual time rather their timeline but, still kinda this area.
=== Something ===
I'm not sure what we named this part but it bumps just behind TNA.
Entering into the new era of paper comics (outside of the side stories which were all already accomplished), the story continues off from the completely forgotten and never continued arc of the biggest baddest villain at the end of the post-its.
We look to a random house, supposedly in the year 2021 where the group is chilling. The date doesn't make sense because there's a flashback of Carson being born that year, which makes no sense since supposedly the main canon began in like 2014 and he appeared in like 2015. I digress. In a few seconds, the house blows up as a bunch of people wearing weird pointy horn helmets come in and try to kill or capture all of the main cast!!! Henry takes the opportunity to shoot off a few of them, allowing Carson to escape, and be the one to try and free everyone with his return.
One intentional capture later, Carson releases a great deal of Miga on the strange soldiers, the new and reputation-less Overlord watching his progress, moving some of the captured crew elsewhere to prevent their freedom. Meanwhile in some random bar somewhere on Earth, one Pike (from HZA) blows a radio up, and leaves. Yeah. Looking back, we see Xaviar switch sides to the Overlord's side, discovering Henry being aided by an unknown character known as Luke Dansford. He quickly subdues Luke in a bloody manner, and captures Henry, adding him to the captured crew. A nuke goes off I guess? I dunno.
Flip flip flip through some whatnot and oh no Joey is dead and Felix is a bounty hunter again. Joey shidded an egg out before dying, and it's up to Felix to keep it safe until he gets back, or, something? More power stuff, Pike appears, Terrance Lee joins too, the super evil Spectre Val is seen again (or wait he died what) giving orders to (guy who i forgot again). Umm big war in Europe? Big fight against (guy who i have dementia for) he dies team goes home, zombies, dude named Rift, Russia, Bleeps, Overlord again, Morians?!?!
Some stuff later and the three newest threats have appeared: the looming legends of the great Archegegis returning to power, the Morian aliens, lead by Kaxel, to destroy Earth, and The Overlord and his Empire destroying Europe and stuff.
Ono egg stolen. Go find and wow look there it is, introducing two new Kydols; Vax and Xy. Big Overtroop fight, before the crew goes to the Overlord's palace in Parisz and try to assassinate him, not before one unknown assassin helps with the job first and... he.. what? What even happened to him where'd he go how'd he just go back to doing his thing wha?!!?! I give up man.
The entire team decide that its time to chillax for a while, so they go to a cryofreezing facility in the new city-state of Orin, and take the chill pill for a bit. A bit which realllly breaks the lore because we can't tell if they unfreeze in 2041 or 2401 or what like, I screwed up sooo bad.. Anyways, this leads our characters into...
===The New Age (TNA)===
==== THE PHANTOM WAR ====
So things happened while they were frozen. World blowed up more ono scary, and the egg hatched, giving us Markus. What a cutie. The team finally thaw out, coming back together to readjust to the new situation, and see what the world needs saved now. At this point, the death of Spectre Val long ago angered the Morians, causing Kaxel, one of the sons of this strange entity, to seek vengeance upon Earth. Although they encountered far in space some time ago, they have now drawn close to Earth, and are preparing to invade and destroy it! A small space battle later, and Pike finds himself on some random alien planet (Jay..nan..?) where he meets a guy named Malcom Dark, who has been taking refuge from the Morian invasion (the topic of "did humanity colonize other places yet" is a talk for another time). Fight fight boom some Mors and they reunite with the crew! Yay. Meanwhile on Europa, Carson, Xy, annnd.. "Clark". Clark, check out a bar to get help from an ex-soldier Morian. They go to a stone thing that reveals the future to Carson super fast (wow it actually holds true even though we planned none of this out), they break through, fight boom bang, yeah. Meanwhile again, Henry, Felix, and.... Some dude named "Red" (no not Floppy Red) have breached the mighty Morian dreadnought, the pride of their invading fleet. They come face to face with a bunch of abominations before meeting Kaxel himself, who has apparently captured them ALL, except Henry, who saves the day with a taco (don't ask).
Big awesome fight later and one ship control broken and Earth is now home to yet another alien vessel exploded into some poor Eastern European city. The crew escape, but Kaxel, vengeful and pretty crippled, remains inert, waiting for another day to enact vengeance for his father.....
==== Dawn of Darkness ====
Here we see some more characters: Omega, Blur, Artemis Kel (return), and some other peeps.
The group leaves a bunker they took a few year break in after Germany suffers from the weight of the Third World War with the Empire. Narrowly avoiding being blowed up by an Overthroughian airstrike, the crew get lost in the local woods for a while, which, after a while, lets them seeOMG JOEY IS BACK.
Meanwhile somewhere, Omega raids a place, steals super important crystals, and needlessly murders lots of people. Oo bad guy oo. We get a face reveal and get to meet his sidekick Kyber after Felix is kidnapped during the group returning to society in.. Orin I think? Boom bang fight OMG JOEY IS ALIVE SUPER SPEED TO HIS LOCATION YAYYYYYY (yes real). Stuff happens, three factions fight each other, lore reveals, and oh no Rift took a lot of crystals now hes mega power and evil oh noo (Nox, child of Joey that came from nowhere, what have you dooone).
Legit 2 seconds later Felix throws a thing at Rift, it makes Enigma spawn, and he seals him into a pocket dimension. World saved. Woo.
