Beast Wars Depth Charge Novels & Stories

Auditory texture like a saw cutting through bone, amplified to a volume that made my eardrums pop. The sound made the nanoweave of Neoma’s suit vibrate against her skin. My teeth rattled. "Wolfy?" Barzil asked. His voice was a low rumble. "What is coming?" I looked at the reading. Class 5 Kinetic Entity. Nuclear Core. Barzil-Steel Chassis. "He didn't just build weapons," I whispered. My throat constricted. I couldn't swallow. "He built a champion." The smoke swirled. Two burning red lenses, the size of dinner plates, ignited in the gloom. They glowed with a steady, pulsating heat.

A cold weight dropped straight into the pit of my stomach, completely freezing the air in my lungs. The Wolf’s eyes narrowed, a dark, wicked smirk spreading across his face as he watched the blood drain from my skin. He saw the exact second my defenses shattered, and he leaned over me once more, crowding my space until I couldn't breathe. "What if the price," he murmured, his voice dropping to a cruel whisper that vibrated against my ear, "is you not being able to survive holding it? What if that child literally tears you apart from the inside out before it ever sees the light of day? I mean... have you thought about how it's going to come out?”

Victor pressed the launch command. Deep beneath the ocean floor, the remaining twelve missile silos opened simultaneously. Massive steel doors slid apart in perfect synchronization. Inside the Whitmore Deep Facility, the AI voice echoed through the chamber. FINAL STRIKE SEQUENCE INITIATED Emma held her breath. Daniel leaned forward. Sophia folded her arms, watching the radar carefully. Lewis stood completely still. Outside in the dark ocean, twelve missiles shot forward through the water like silver spears. On the radar display, twelve fast-moving signals streaked toward the descending Covenant assault carrier.

All three heads turned toward the floor at once. Then it came. A sound older than words. A roar too deep for any machine, too primal for any engine. It vibrated in Ellie’s teeth, sank into her bones. A low, rolling rumble. Scales. Wings. Wrath. Ellie staggered. “What… what is that?” Cerebus’s golden eyes burned. His growl was not for the soldiers anymore. It was for something older. Something waking beneath them. The Chimera. Level 5 — Surface Exit

A big part of me feels like he doesn’t want to be here. “One time, he managed to crush the heads of 8 rogues while he was pushing through the crowd. I’ve seen it myself, and it was just pure rage,” Zeke excitedly explained with a large grin on his face as if he was talking about something entertaining. I blinked at him and looked at Amir, but he just shook his head at me. “They attack with fire, Brute hates fire.” Brute said, his voice was deep and monotone. I was surprised that he even spoke.

Closer, a little bit closer. ”Now! Fire the cannons!” I thundered, and the words had not died on my lips when I heard the resounding boom of the cannons firing, the black-spotted balls of flame climbing high over our heads to scatter into the plains underneath, dispersing some of the films, but the werewolves kept coming. “More! Don't stop firing!” I bellowed, just as the wave crashed into the gate and shook the exterior wall, the force of the gust swiping a few archers to plunge to their deaths below as the war cry of my troops rose, metal clashing with claw.

It seemed there was more to this underground depth than met the eye. Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed, shaking the entire space. Adrian watched as a massive figure made of lava emerged from the space before him. Despite the terrifying giant beast, Adrian showed no fear. Instead, he let out a slight chuckle and said, “Oh, what’s this? I didn’t expect there’d be such a creature hidden beneath the ground!” The giant beast roared and charged straight toward Adrian. The colossal monster’s every movement sent searing heat waves through the surrounding space. Its massive claws, as if capable of tearing the sky itself, reached out to grab Adrian.

I howl repeatedly, and I bet even the heavens have sighed in defeat. "And don't think of doing anything stupid. By the time you pull that trigger, I will have fed this damn thing two bullets already. Let's see if your weakling whore will bear it in her conscience." The monster howls in victory. At this point, Deep has no option than to surrender. He drops his gun to the floor, and the monster discharges a triumphant loud annoying howl. "Good, boy!" He mocks, turning to me, but keeping an eye on Deep still. "Now come to me, baby!" Ho orders me in his monster-soothing tone. He has turned into a complete varmint.

Trent I burst into laughter. “No!” Khloe nodded. “Yes. Me and the saleswoman had to talk him out of it.” “It wasn’t a real bear,” I protested. “All the same, it was ugly and just looked scary,” Khloe said. “I’m glad you opted for the other one,” Sade said. “Me too,” I agreed.

I can't possibly accept it. Before I knew it, Eros was gone, and I sat there, my eyes wide, all fatigue and sleep leaving my eyes. "Mate," my wolf whispered again, but hell, I would be damned. I would be so fucking damned.
