Dragons of Orion and Elijah, the Stolen Man

Humanoid aliens and beast-headed warriors, who resemble the ancient gods of Egypt, invaded the Universe from a sidereal planet named: Janaidar, from their parallel universe over 5,000-years ago. Located in the Orion Nebula, the first planet the NuliZhu conquered was home to four kinds of high-technology, hyper-intelligent dragons. Thus enslaved, the Dragons-of-Orion were forced to help invade Earth. Once here, the NuliZhu and dragons spread across Olde Aerthe abducting samples of every race-of-man while building the ancient wonders of the world, which is why Earth has so many myths about ancient-aliens and dragons without actually having any.

Unable to resist the epidemic diseases of Earth, the NuliZhu got forced to retreat to Janaidar with their human captives. Following this, the Dragons-of-Orion made certain the NuliZhu forgot about Earth and Janaidar, and especially the Pillars-of-Thoth. Unknowingly after over five millennia, the NuliZhu have returned to Janaidar and begun abducting High Adept Alahna's people as fresh slave-stock.

Keeper-of-the-Archives for the Huan Long Shui Sisteren, Alahna knows all and races to save both Janaidar and the multiverse before the vicious NuliZhu rediscover the Pillars-of-Thoth and the artificial-sapience they created as the ultimate weapon-of-war: the WuShi. Forced to break the most-forbidden taboo of the Huan Long Shui and present-day Guardian Dragons of Janaidar by reactivating the Pillars-of-Thoth, Alahna invokes the WuShi unto a state-of-consciousness known as The-Creeping-Darkness to quest for a techno-warrior-sage across the multiverse. Thus making her apostate to the Sisteren and anathema to the Guardian Dragons-a capital offense.

Having been here before, The-Creeping-Darkness punches a transdimensional-arc through to Earth searching for Alahna's mythical savior. Unbeknownst to Alahna, it lays furtive plans to keep itself safe from all of them. Thus empowered to scan modern-day Earth, it locates a hapless man named Elijah as a suitable candidate for Alahna's needs, but also for its own secret agenda in transforming him into an all-powerful, cybernetic being called a Tech-Master. Sinister and silent, the WuShi will use Elijah to charge its accumulators with enough dark-energy to enslave the entire multiverse--including the NuliZhu. Will Alahna succeed? Will Elijah survive? Will The-Creeping-Darkness conquer the multiverse?
