First Wave

Humanity awakens unknown PEMFs from their slumber in a gigantic ancient machine complex, causing them to rampage across the globe. Their soul matrices provide them the ability to grow to incredible sizes, have limitless energy, and protection from incredulous amounts of damage, all of which are present in documented PEMFs such as Godzilla. After only a few have managed to be slain, their bodies were analyzed, and a mechanical equivalent possessing a humanoid structure and soul matrix catalyzed by a willing Human's soul/conscience was conceived, known as the Warmonger. Since they had all the same soul-based abilities as the unknown PEMFs, they were able to use equppied conventional weaponry and their own hand-to-hand combat tactics to subdue the creatures, eventually winning out in the end.

 

Aftermath

Warmongers are used in the follow-up nuclear war sapnning the entire globe, resulting in several decades of never-ending conflict and the mutation of documenteed PEMFs such as Godzilla into titanic entities several kilometres high. Eventually, world governments agreed to halt the Warmonger program and decommission them. Except for Japan, who was allowed to maintain one at a time due to the high losses they suffered during the first wave.

 

Second Wave

Fast forward several more years, and society has rebuilt itself, but an uprising of anti-soul-matrix supporters has occured around the globe, followed by a second emergence of the unknown PEMFs. Governments soon scramble to contain them, eventually having to resort to reviving the Warmonger program. However, due to the time between the creation of the Warmongers and the current age, the technologies for building them have all but been lost, requiring the revival of any stored models still functioning. Except for Japan. Which has maintained and updated the technology for centuries, thus leaving the country exceptionally well-defended with its modern Warmonger model.

 

The Big Question

So, the question remaining is this: what exactly is the deal with these unknown PEMFs? Most would conclude them as simple biological super-weapons intent on world destruction. However, that may not be the case. Studies show that the machine complex they were awoken from predates even the very first life on planet Earth known to have existed. As well, these particular PEMFs are composed of human souls, meaning their genetic make-up is entirely human. Additionally, their genetics have shown the capacity to produce life on their own, though this capacity hasn't been observed. Recent studies have shown that the genetic and mental structure of the creatures is at a stage comparable to an early-stage fetus, thus meaning the creatures seen are less than infants at their current state. Therefore, the question remains: what exactly is their purpose?

The story I propose is simple: it begins with a new and unknown life-form that came from far beyond the distant arms of our galaxy. The being is little more than a predatory organism that consumes anything and everything organic in its path. However, as it gorges itself, this life-form steadily gains in mass, eventually growing to an immense size. Not only that, but as the being consumes ever greater qauntities of human life, it steadily begins to take on a shadow of sentience. However, as the creature at last attains a truly massive size, roughly 250ft in height, it suddenly splits into two seperate beings - much in the same fashion as an amoeba. Yet, these creatures are vastly disimilar. One is possessed of the moral echoes left over from the minds of the countless men and women consumed by its progenitor, while the other is plagued by the fear, hatred, and greed that once existed within the thoughts of the individuals whose bodies compose its form. At this point, we have the story's main protagonist and antagonist: a pair of titans fashioned form Man's tissues and embodying the purist expression of Mankind's good and evil. Naturally, these fundamentally opposed creatures come into ferocious conflict, laying to waste vast swathes of land and cityscape in the process. Struggling to comprehend themselves and the burgeoning sentience growing within their minds, the pair of creatures can be likened to children attempting to come to terms with the concept of self-awarenss - and morality. However, at the end of it all, after they have caused incalcuable damage and nearly killed one-another, the pair of behemoths simply stop. Having at last gained awarenss in full, and the understanding of themselves that comes with it, the monstrous things simply gaze upon one another for the briefest of moments and then slowly to turn to part ways - never to join again. They have realized, in their fully-actualized sentience, that they are the purist personifications of Man's good and Evil - between which there can be no victor, regardless of how great it has become. This tale is known as "Disimulation".
