[ WP ] Every planet in our solar system has a `` champion '' being that takes on the attributes of the planet itself . The `` champion '' from the sun has created an army to destroy the planets and the 8 ( or 9 ) champions must save the solar system .

Pluto sighed as he checked his watch, he hated being late to his first Astral Summon, but it wasn ’ t his fault that his travel to the Astral Temple wasn ’ t as short as the others ’. Warily, he enter the room, where the other Avatars sat. Arguments were already filling the room. Quietly, Pluto slinked to his throne, smaller than the rest, and sat quietly, paying little attention to the roaring of the other Avatars and hoping he wasn ’ t noticed. 
 
 Finally, when the arguments were soon to come to blows, Jupiter, who had remained mostly quiet until now, spoke in his thunderous voice, only a whisper to him, but an explosive bellow to all others. “ Enough. ” 
 
 The other Avatars fell silent at his voice, even hot-headed Mars listened to the command. Jupiter rose from his seat, almost scraping his head against the ceiling, and folded his arms. “ Once again, you forget the purpose of this Summon, and resort to petty squabbles. It ’ s a wonder we ’ ve held out for so long with buffoons like you. ” He shot a stormy glance at Pluto. “ Now that our new member has finally arrived, let us get to business. ” 
 
 “ When will it end, Jupiter? ” Called Neptune, “ Is there even a point anymore? How many times have we sacrificed to keep these Sunspawn at bay? How many more times must we continue to do so? ” 
 
 Sunspawn? Pluto wondered. He had no idea what they were referring to. 
 “ As much as it takes. ” Saturn replied. “ We can not let these things spread. It will be the end of us all. How they ’ ve been able to survive on a dead planet is anyone ’ s guess, but if they can corrupt even a corpse, there is no telling what can be done to us. ” 
 
 Mercury nodded his heavily scared head. “ Even now, their corruption feeds Sol. It won ’ t be long before his power is too much to contain and he eradicates my sister and I. ” 
 
 “ That may be so, ” Spoke Uranus. “ But it will also take the Sunspawn with it. It is then that we can strike Him directly. ” 
 
 Venus ’ fiery body flared as she shrieked. “ You suggest that me and my brother just sit by and allow us to be sacrificed? You monster! ” 
 
 Uranus huffed. “ Sacrifices must be made. After all, it was your sister that brought the Sunspawn here. ” 
 
 “ You bastard! ” Venus rose and stepped toward the Avatar. “ I say we sacrifice you! Maybe Sol will find you so revolting that He will just leave! ” 
 
 “ You are welcome to try, little vixen. ” Smirked Uranus. 
 
 Venus stomped closer to the Avatar, her hand raised, but Jupiter tapped his foot, shaking the room. “ Silence. ” He whispered. 
 
 After a long pause, Pluto raised his hand, “ Um. I ’ m sorry for asking a dumb question, but I don ’ t quite understand what ’ s going on here… ” 
 
 Neptune scowled. “ You see, Jupiter? This is why we shouldn ’ t have invited this pipsqueak. He ’ s much too far away to- “ 
 
 Jupiter ’ s stormy glance was enough to silence him. “ With this new threat, we need every able body we can get. He may be small, but he is all we have at present. ” He looked back to Pluto. “ Where to begin… ” 
 
 Mercury chimed in. “ Allow me, sir. ” He wrung his hands and sighed before he continued. 
 
 “ Certainly, you know of the Sunspawn. A corruption created and empowered by Him. In ages long passed when we were still young, there were nine of us, even before we reached out to you. Now there are only eight, including you. Gaia, and my sister Theia were also among us. In those times, Sol was what we believed to be a benevolent being, a shining eye watching over us. A demigod, He called himself, of the most divine making our goddess Via Lactea had to offer. We believed Him, for his might was unmatched. ” 
 
 He paused solemnly. “ By the time we found this to be false, his corruption had already infected Theia. Sunspawn, we called them. Insignificant on their own, but together hold the power to destroy us. Theia, Mother grace her, was driven mad by their infection. In her maddened rage, she set out to eradicate the rest of us. With no hope, it was Gaia who came to our aid. We could do nothing but watch the battle, the chaos. We were not yet strong enough to aid our sister. Even Jupiter, though he dwarfed them, was not strong enough to intervene. We watched as the two consumed each other. It was Gaia ’ s sacrifice that saved us that day. ” 
 
 “ But that wasn ’ t the end of it. Sol ’ s Sunspawn were resilient. Though the vast majority of their existence was eradicated in that titanic battle, the infection could not be cleansed and arose again on their conjoined bodies. Though we were much more powerful by that time, our best efforts could not put an end to it. Mars and Jupiter sent a meteor and Neptune flooded the planet, but nothing could stop it. ” 
 
 Venus spoke. “ For ages, the Sunspawn have unknowingly fed Sol. So much so, that it won ’ t be long before He bloats. When this happens, my brother and I will be consumed. Followed by our sister and Gaia ’ s remains. ” 
 
 Pluto scratched his chin. “ But if Sol takes the Sunspawn ’ s home, won ’ t the Sunspawn die as well? ” 
 
 “ Exactly, ” scoffed Uranus. “ A necessary sacrifice. No, I ’ m not proud of it, but what other chance do we have now? Let the false god end His own creation. When this happens, the force will be enough to drive us away to a safe distance. ” 
 
 “ The Sunspawn are not so dumb, Uranus. ” Growled Mars. “ I am on the Front, I have seen their advances. One of the evolutions of the Sunspawn is far superior to the rest. It has already discovered how to leave its world. I ’ m sure it knows of His plan, and will thus seek to invade us before its demise. Already, its drones have breached my defenses and prepares for an eventual expedition. Though our bodies at present can not contain them, their adaptability can and will find a way. And this will be long before He bloats. First me, then the rest of us. ” 
 
 Neptune blinked in astonishment. “ Then, there is no hope. ” He looked at Jupiter fearfully. “ What do we do? ”
