Beast Wars Depth Charge Novels & Stories

Then he would face the embodiment of terror. With supernatural speed, I darted across the street and dove into the alley between the two buildings. Bastard didn’t know he was dealing with an enforcer from the Volkovs, the notorious werewolf mafia, and my adopted family. Few outside of our pack knew we were actual werewolves and we liked it that way. My claws extended and I raked them down the side of the dumpster. I heard his heart rate speed up, and I smiled. “You stole from the wrong person,” I said, adding a growl at the end.

Of course Christopher Henry Jameson—also known as Beast- wasn't the average man. He stood 6'5" and weighed three hundred and two pounds. He didn't like the extra three pounds. He rather liked being in the two hundred weight range even if it was by just one or two pounds. Regardless, there wasn't an ounce of fat on his perfect body. Beast was muscles on top of muscles, yet not hulking like some of the others that worked in the Marine Corps division assigned to The Department of Home Land Security, or better known as DHS. Too big made you slow. He'd seen guys bigger than him hospitalized during the CRUCIBLE training.

"Goddess Descent!" *Boom*

The spear follows suit and fades away into nothingness. Erebus is stunned for a moment, before turning the entirety of Nirvana dark. I couldn’t see anything, but I could sense him moving around the darkness. I tried creating a star, but it was literally swallowed up. All of a sudden, I felt him coming at me with full force. Before I could even react, I felt myself being pinned down and I saw two emerald green holes flowing. They shone brighter and brighter until I finally realised that he was charging up his beams again.

Effective range: 2,500 meters) "20 tons..." Jake studied the behemoth before him and nodded with satisfaction. At this scale, even a full-on zombie horde wouldn't be able to stop him. But the part he'd been waiting for was just beginning.

Escape called, but wards stirred again, chamber doors sealing shut with a boom as shadow beasts reformed larger, eyes blazing fury. I drew the dagger quickly, potion's boost fading but determination steeled my stance. The first beast charged roaring, body massive and claws like blades. I dodged left and slashed its leg, blade biting ethereal flesh with drain pulling at my energy immediately. It swiped back, claws raking my arm deep with blood flowing hot, weakness hitting fast. I stabbed its side desperate, twisting the moonstone that glowed bright and dispersed it with a shriek.

If anyone owes anything, it's you who owes me. After hearing my words, Lydia's eyes filled with fury. However, the poison swamp's corrosion had already rendered her unable to speak. She could only watch helplessly as she was corroded bit by bit. Watching her sink beneath the poison swamp, coldness flashed through my eyes. "Come out. How cowardly of you to use your female as a shield." As soon as I said this, Marcus and the other beastmen from my previous life quickly emerged from deep within the jungle. The moment they saw me, their eyes held a trace of fervor.

The screams of the refugees echoed up through the ventilation shafts. "I will peel away your sanctuary," Malik declared, his fists trembling with the sheer, astronomical effort of lifting a million tons of solid rock. "And I will expose your weakness to the sun." The roof of the Deep Warren began to bow upward. The solid bedrock was cracking, yielding to the unstoppable force of the Apex. Then, a localized sonic boom shattered the windows of the surrounding city blocks. Malik barely had time to turn his head. A streak of violet light tore through the courtyard of the Boma, moving at Mach 2.

KABOOM. The mining charge detonated inside the pressurized shell of the Beast. The explosion was deafening. But because the charge was buried deep inside the thermal vacuum, the blast didn't go outward. It blew the creature apart from the inside, shattering the super-cooled obsidian into a million pieces of harmless, dead-gray pumice. A massive cloud of white steam and gray ash erupted over the plaza, raining down like dirty snow. Silence descended on Aethelgard. I lay on the hot cobblestones, my chest heaving, staring up at the darkening sky through the falling ash.

“No, it’s not a coincidence, the gymnasium is named after my family. Now that we’ve introduced ourselves, I trust that I’ll not have any more interruptions when I use the punching bag.” Evan Alston watched the threesome from his position against the wall. He had been as enraptured as everyone else at the strength and skill displayed by the tiny woman. It had been astonishing to see the woman defeat men three times her size. He became even more intrigued when he overheard someone whisper her identity. The Beast.
