The sky was a chaotic tapestry of grey wings and screaming metal.

The transport plane, nicknamed "The Black Coffin" by Sterling engineers for its boxy shape and stealth coating, shuddered violently as another gargoyle slammed into the fuselage. These weren't the cute grotesques found on cathedral gutters. These were biological siege weapons bred by the Fenrir Council—creatures of animated granite and ancient sorcery, weighing half a ton each, capable of flying at transonic speeds.

"Starboard engine taking heat!" Marcus yelled, fighting the yoke as the plane banked hard to the left, narrowly avoiding a stream of acidic bile spewed by a gargoyle leader. "They're trying to melt the intake fans!"

Jack stood in the cockpit doorway, scanning the swarm. There were at least fifty of them. A swarm of flying nightmares circling their prey.

"They're mocking us," Jack growled. He could see it in their behavior. They weren't attacking all at once. They were toying with

    The race back to the Obsidian Lab was a blur of exhaustion and panic. By the time Jack and his team burst through the airlock, the red emergency lights were already flashing."Warning," the facility's AI voice droned, sounding distorted and slow. "System... integrity... failing. Unauthorized... code... injected."The main command center was a scene of digital warfare. Finch and Dr. Aris were running around like madmen, unplugging hard drives, cutting cables, trying to physically isolate the infected systems.On the main screen, a digital representation of the facility showed red zones spreading like a cancer. The nanites had infiltrated the ventilation system and were eating their way into the server room cooling ducts. They weren't just destroying hardware; they were rewriting software."They're bypassing the firewalls!" Finch yelled, his fingers bleeding from typing so fast. "It's an adaptive algorithm! It learns every time I block it! It's like fighting water!

    The tunnel shook. Dust rained down from the Victorian brickwork, coating Jack’s black tactical gear in a fine grey powder."That wasn't a charge," Marcus rumbled, pressing his hand against the damp wall of the storm drain. "That was impact. Heavy machinery."Jack Sterling stood still, his head cocked to the side. His mutated right eye—the golden slit in the black orb—was seeing things the others couldn't. Through the layers of rock and soil, he saw heat signatures. Massive, grinding heat signatures."They aren't just drilling," Jack said, his voice low. "They're hunting. They're triangulating our position based on the seismic echoes of our footsteps.""So if we move, they see us?" Catherine whispered, her breath misting in the cold air."If we move predictably," Jack corrected. He turned to Grog, the leader of the Rat King’s mutants. "Grog, you know these tunnels better than anyone. Is there a choke point? Somewhere narrow where their

    The entrance to the storm drain system was hidden behind a false wall in the facility's water treatment plant. Marcus used a plasma cutter to slice through the rusted welds, the sparks showering down like orange rain in the gloom.With a groan of tortured metal, the heavy iron grate swung inward.A blast of dank, cold air hit them. It smelled of rot, wet stone, and something else... something muskier. Like wet fur."Masks on," Jack ordered.The team consisted of four: Jack, Marcus, Catherine, and Haley (who insisted on coming because "if there's ancient tech, I call dibs"). They donned rebreathers and activated their shoulder-mounted tactical lights.The tunnel was massive, a brick-lined cylinder twenty feet high. A stream of black, sludge-like water trickled down the center channel, but the walkways on either side were dry."This architecture," Haley whispered, her voice tinny through the comms. "It's Victorian. Look at the brickwork. It's too nice for

    The Obsidian facility was alive again, its mechanical heart thrumming with the immense power of the rebooted cold-fusion reactor. But for Jack Sterling, the restoration of light had brought a new, deeper darkness.He sat in the isolation ward of the medical bay, a room constructed of transparent aluminum and reinforced polycarbonate. It was designed to contain bio-hazards, but tonight, it was containing him.His right arm was a landscape of ruin. The sleeve of his tactical shirt had been cut away, revealing the limb in its entirety. It no longer looked like human flesh. From the fingertips to the shoulder, the skin had blackened and hardened, resembling charred oak or cooled obsidian rock. Veins of molten gold pulsed rhythmically beneath the carapace, syncing not with his heartbeat, but with the low-frequency hum of the reactor deep below.But the pain wasn't in the arm. The arm was numb, a heavy, dead weight.The pain was in his mind.Scritch... scratch...

    The descent into the bowels of the Obsidian facility felt like a journey into the throat of a dying beast.The emergency lights were failing, casting long, flickering shadows that danced on the rusted metal walls of the service elevator shaft. Jack, Catherine, Marcus, and Dr. Aris stood in the cage as it rattled downward, past the labs, past the hangars, down into the bedrock where the air smelled of stale copper and ancient dust."Current depth: 400 feet," the elevator's mechanical voice rasped.Jack leaned against the wire mesh, his breathing shallow. His right arm was wrapped in a compression bandage, but the heat radiating from it was palpable. The confrontation with the mob, the use of the Alpha focus, and now the stress of the impending blackout were feeding the virus in his blood. He could feel it crawling up his shoulder, seeking his heart."You're burning up," Catherine whispered, touching his forehead. Her hand was cool, a stark contrast to his internal

    The sound wasn't the rhythmic marching of boots, nor the mechanical hum of tanks. It was worse. It was a roar—a chaotic, organic, terrifying roar that vibrated through the reinforced concrete walls of the Obsidian facility.Jack Sterling stood in the command center, his hands gripping the edge of the holographic table until the metal groaned under the pressure. On the monitors, or what was left of them after the electromagnetic pulse from the previous battle, the scene outside was a nightmare brought to life.Thousands of people.They weren't soldiers. They were office workers in torn shirts, mothers holding signs scrawled with red paint, teenagers with homemade Molotov cocktails, and construction workers wielding sledgehammers. They pressed against the outer perimeter fence of the industrial park like a tidal wave of flesh and anger."Death to the Monster!""Save our children!""Burn the Witch!"The chants were incoherent, overlapping into a
