User:RavenKing123/The Tale of Tankasus

This is the story of my gamemode, created by RavenKing123. This is basically all of the story tied together that is in Return of Lord Diep and Diep Story Mode, and is for lazy people who don't bother to pick apart the story ;). That does mean, however, spoilers ahead, since you can find almost all of this in the story of the mentioned game modes.

Ancient Times
In the beginning, there was only the Creator, nothing more. That was, until, he decided to make a world for himself. A world... of tanks. It was called Tankasus. He knew he needed a master copy, of all his ideas, that he would take pieces off to make his tanks. This "gene holder" was a monstrosity of a tank, with all the parts of tanks we know today. The Creator named this tank Lord Diep, who earned the nickname "The First One", and set to work building tanks. However, he realized that other tanks might try to kill Lord Diep, with evil intent, so he created a protector and brother, King Diep, soon to be known as "The Merciless One". However, these two rulers soon became corrupt in their power, and decided to take over the land of Tankasus, while the Creator obviously kept making tanks. They soon took over, and split the world in two. King Diep had control over all of the land, while Lord Diep took control of the people. This tyranny lasted for many years...

Middle Times
It was the Middle Times, that, finally, the Diep brothers started to lose control. Now, Lord Diep, since all his parts were being taken off to create other tanks, became unstable, and, as a result of that, started gaining unimaginable power. It was then our Savior, the Creator, noticed. Knowing he had to do something, he swept in, combining all of Lord Diep's parts into one measly shell of a body, severely weakening him. However, that wasn't enough to contain the power inside. The Creator then put Lord Diep into an age long sleep, inside the fortress he had once ruled from...

Once news of this reached King Diep, he retreated into his castle, a powerful stronghold, and ruled from afar. This fortress was guarded by The Sons Of The Merciless One, who were created by King Diep to serve one purpose: being gatekeepers of his castle. Since Lord Diep had been put out of commission, King Diep took control of the people of Tankantia, where Lord Diep's fortress and all the citizens of Tankasus resided, effectively becoming ruler of everything in Tankasus. King Diep started making those who lived in the once paradise of Tankantia fight against each other in mock wars. Soon, these wars became anything the tanks of Tankantia knew. For them, rivalries grew, until the wars needed no prompting. Eventually, the time when Tankantia was a true paradise was lost in the battle and bloodshed.

Modern Times
By the Modern Times, the Diep brothers had recuperated from their loss. Lord Diep, miraculously, awoke from his age of sleep. Disgraced to find his rule shattered, he plotted to exert his power over the tanks of Tankantia once again, from inside his fortress. Knowing his only protection, King Diep, was far away, he created The Sons of The First One, made specifically to be his bodyguards. However, he was still restrained to his confined form. One day, however, brought his downfall. It was the day when The Tribes Of The Fighting Legion attacked. Sure, they were scattered in a rivalry, sometimes more focused on killing each other than the enemy. But, eventually, they killed the evil Lord Diep. but, unbeknownst to any of them, the Creator had made a mistake. By giving Lord Diep two forms, he had unwittingly giving him two lives. Now freed from his confined form, Lord Diep Undying (Lord Diep's original form.), started attacking again. However, like all stories the heroes prevailed, and Lord Diep was rid from the land.

Meanwhile, before Lord Diep's death, rumors had reached King Diep of a trove of magical artifacts, buried under The Scorching Plains. Immediately, he sent out a legion of slaves, commanded by the Worker Overseer, a loyal servant King Diep infused with magical powers. However, before King Diep could dig up the entire Scorching Plains, The Knights Of The Fighting Legion attacked. Advancing through The Plains, The Knights defeated all of King Diep's gatekeepers, and gained access to the castle itself. Attacking the king, the heroes nearly killed him. However, King Diep was in his confined form, used because his original Undying form took too much power to stay in. He quickly turned into his original form. Just like his brother, though, he was slain.

Now, even though the Diep brothers were killed, they are still here in spirit. And beings that powerful will certainly come back. The battles of Tankantia cannot be put to rest. Although the brothers were slain, the evil they wrought will keep coming back to bite us...
