Stardust (story)

Stardust is the first side-story of Story I: The Judgement of Anubis and the first side-story in the Project IX.A mythos.

Summary
The original Stardust leader goes insane due to his known death count (234,422) and that he was locked up for not following orders. He manages to get out and thinks his soldiers are the people he killed and starts killing them "again". One soldier, along with five others, survive as that one soldier kills Stardust's leader in order to stop the killing spree. The six are made expendable due to the killing spree, but are kept as an emergency group by Sparson, as the soldier who killed the leader is made the new leader.

After a few months, the remains of Stardust are sent to Hoehem as for a plan get rid of the seven. They almost encounter a Black Fantasy as they hide from the black beasts and realize that Sparson only wanted them to die. Knowing this, they're forced to stay since they'll just be another plan to kill them afterwards. They survive most of the journey, and find the Stonehenge Base, seeing the remains of Subjects outside. They are attacked by Red Wolf, the only remaining part of Sub. Group 300, but the Stardust leader calms the stress down.

Red Wolf recounts the events of Subjects, and tells them that Black Fantasy killed the rest of his group all at once, but leaving RW the only survivor. RW also tells them that the AP/W-1000 Satan Rebirth Cannon is BF's goal and that the control were in there. The Stardust leader makes a plan using details from RW to create a confusion in the base so they can take out BF. The plan is used the next day as BF sees through it, but allows it to happen as long as it doesn't reach killing BF. RW with Stardust attempt to attack BF once inside and through security, but it looks hopeless as two of the eight are killed by BF.

Red Wolf uses the comps. inside to send a Hell Beacon to Mag as the group use the same plan from before to get out. They manage to barely escape, with most of Stardust injured and battered, but RW gets a Sparta ship to come and pick the group up.
