"If I had a copper coin for every time a desperate human tried to shoot me in the face today, I'd have three coins," I yelled, ducking under a burst of automatic rifle fire that chewed through the brick wall above my head. "Which isn't a lot, but it's infuriating that it keeps happening!"RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!"Keep your head down, Mia!" Adrian bellowed, his heavy shoulder slamming against the opposite side of the ruined archway as dust rained over his tactical helmet. "They have elevated firing positions on the secondary ridge! They're using military-grade suppressive fire!""Oh, military-grade?!" I shouted back, twirling my dark-fire blade into a reverse grip. "Well, I have contractor-grade dark fire, and it comes with zero warranty and maximum property damage!"We were pinned down in the crumbling stone courtyard of an abandoned mountain outpost three miles out from the HELIX map coordinates. The remnants of the raider faction—reinforced by a ruthless group of human core-hunters—had set

SCREEEEECH-CRUNCH! The reinforced bumper of our lead transport truck smashed through the heavy security gate of HELIX Outpost Seven, sending rusted steel fencing and barbed wire flying through the air! "Parking brake applied!" I cheered, hopping out of the passenger side door before the truck had even come to a complete stop. "And by parking brake, I mean smashing through private property!" "Mia, for the last time, wait for the vanguard!" Adrian shouted, leaping out after me with his hand on his sword hilt, blue lightning sparking wildly along his boots as he hit the concrete. "We haven't cleared the perimeter!" "The perimeter is totally dead, Sparky!" I yelled back, twirling my dark blade as I marched up the broad concrete steps of the brutalist, windowless facility. "Look around! No Walkers, no Runners, no giant mutated bears! Just an extremely creepy, oversized concrete shoe box!" Ethan scrambled out of th

"Is anyone else hearing that strange buzzing inside their teeth?!" Ethan squeaked, slapping both hands over his cheeks while his flamethrower rattled violently against his chest armor. "It feels like someone is running an electric toothbrush on my jawbone!" "It isn't a toothbrush, Ethan," Kai called down, his voice echoing from a higher metallic catwalk where he was frantically pulling a backup sidearm from his thigh holster. "It's a frequency! A massive, high-amplitude biological signal pulsing straight out of her body!" "She's reaching past the facility," Nora warned, looking at her flickering medical scanner screen as red error warnings flashed across the glass. "Her neural output isn't contained within this vault! The wave is radiating outward in a three-mile radius!" "I can hear them coming!" Leo roared, stepping in front of Nora with his heavy tactical shotgun raised. "The mountain tunnels! They're moving!" SCRRRRRRCH-THUD-THUD-THUD! The deep subterranean access tunnel

"That is not a boar, that is a steam engine with angry little eyes!" Ethan screamed, scrambling behind a reinforced concrete pillar near the settlement's main entrance as the ground shook violently under our boots. STOMP-STOMP-STOMP-BOOM! "Ethan, stop criticizing its eyes and open fire!" Kai yelled from the wooden watchtower above, racking the bolt of his secondary heavy rifle. "It's thirty feet tall, covered in metallic plating, and it's looking at the front gate like a snack tray!" "I am opening fire!" Ethan shouted back, pulling the trigger on his flamethrower and bathing the beast's snout in a roaring fifty-foot stream of orange fire! WHOOOOOOSH! The giant Iron Boar didn't even blink. The intense heat simply made the steel-like hide along its face glow a dull, cherry red. It let out a deafening, metallic snort that blew soot, ember sparks, and hot ste

"Do not let it chew on the tires!" I shouted, dropping low into a defensive stance as my dark blade ignited in a violent burst of black and purple plasma. "Those heavy-duty tires cost three crates of canned peaches and four gallons of diesel!" "I don't think it cares about your canned peaches, Mia!" Ethan shrieked, scrambling backward across the muddy dirt while his flamethrower rattled against his chest plate. "Look at it! It's got three heads, six legs, and a terrifying amount of personal boundary issues!" SZZZZZZT-CRASH! Before anyone could finish raising their weapons, the massive fifteen-foot beast lunged from the thick pine treeline! Its six muscular legs dug deep gouges into the mountain soil, letting it snap around mid-air with unnatural, sickening agility. The right head snapped wide open, spraying a thick stream of bubbling green saliva across the forest floor! HISSSSSSS! "Watch the corrosive spray!" Nora yelled from the rear, raising her tactical medical scanner while
