More than a thousand Kessu and Kraktol crowd together inside the Bloodbearer’s largest facility, its Holodeck. Even with the chamber’s incredible size and ability to deceive the senses, its ability to contain more than a fraction of the ship’s crew proves limited. With so little space to sit in the spectator stands, many Kessu opt…
Admiral Rodriguez slowly walks through the lower decks of the Bloodbearer, a datapad in his hand, performing routine maintenance on the Bloodbearer’s coolant systems. Dozens of thin steel pipes line the walls, each one sending liquid nitrogen and other similar compounds to various parts of the ship. As the Admiral walks, he taps the datapad,…
In the skies of Tarus II, an unimaginably terrifying thunderstorm swallows the horizon. Covering the entirety of Hero City and all of the battlefronts, it swells to more than forty miles wide. Inside, Ose draws energy from the planet’s magnetic field, capturing small amounts of its potential to energize her ultimate weapon, Limitless Demonic Thunder….
Ose’s eyes lock onto the huge, lumbering behemoths rampaging within Hero City’s borders. Despite a distance of several miles separating her from the action, Ose still easily picks them out and observes how the Titans battle against the lone Hydra. What’s going on? Ose wonders. How could Titans appear here? We exterminated their entire species,…
Western Front, before the Hydra’s arrival. Emperor Ose and Archangel Uriel furiously battle one another. Their fists and feet collide with thunderous shockwaves, forcing a wide berth of empty space around themselves. Still morphed into her electrical Ultraform, Ose’s attacks rain down relentlessly upon Uriel. The Archangel protects herself with earthen armor while summoning Holy…
Recommended Listening Blinker’s psionic barrier explodes outward, blasting away Zamiel, Mephisto, and more than a hundred of Mephisto’s Wraiths. All of Blinker’s enemies cry out in surprise and alarm, with Zamiel the most surprised. Before he can react, Blinker rockets into the air and flies at him with her fist reared back. THUNK! Blinker smashes…
Recommended Listening Hero City’s Eastern Front. Zamiel, the Duke of Weaponry, howls like a madman. He summons a rain of blunted and bladed weapons, crashing them upon his adversary, the King of All Monsters, Kar. Still in his Sphinx form, Kar shrugs off Zamiel’s attacks as if he were a metal-plated tank being pelted by…
Admiral Rodriguez and his newly promoted First Officer, Soren Mudrose, stand on the Bloodbearer’s Bridge, gazing through its windows at the gorgeous green and blue planet ahead of them. A nearby monitor silently visualizes the Red-Tongue’s trajectory as it takes off, vanishing into the void without any fanfare. "We will head to the Core Worlds…
A full minute of silence descends upon all of the Kraktol and Kessu. Stricken with grief, guilt, and confusion, Drall and José’s loyalists alike look at one another, uncertain of what to do. Only Kisa’s choked sobs pierce the gloom, stabbing knives into the hearts of all present. Finally, Kisa speaks. "You… you killed him!"…
"Kill the Terran!" Drall bellows, while stabbing his finger in Admiral Rodriguez’s direction. "If any of you still intend to honor your Thülvik’s commands, then heed mine now! Slay that undying monster at all costs! Do not let his envenomed tongue sway your minds! Graaaaugh!" "Kyargh!" "Graugh!" Hundreds of angry howls erupt amongst the Kraktol….
