Earthspark Rumble Novels & Stories

Chapter 162: The City of Mirrors The morning sun over Santiago was unusually harsh, bleaching the colors from the mural in the EmberRoots courtyard. Sophia squinted against it, a faint headache pressing behind her eyes. She hadn’t slept much since the latest wave of disinformation—Eris’s fabrications still drifted through the network like fine dust, settling in places they hadn’t yet reached to clean. Raven walked in from the street, a backpack slung over one shoulder. He didn’t bother with greetings. “We found something.”

A planetary-scale engine designed to act as a celestial hammer. "They're de-orbiting," Elara whispered, shielding her eyes from the unnatural glare. "They aren't going to fight us for the surface. They’re just going to erase the surface." Jax sat up, his movements stiff and mechanical. The red lines on his skin pulsed in a slow, funeral rhythm. "We have seventy-two hours. Maybe less. I can feel the math in the air... the gravity is already starting to tug at the tides." The Call of the Deep Forest

: projecting the sixty beat rhythm of Earth directly into his marrow. Titan’s heart stumbled: then synchronized. His red lenses flickered and died: replaced by the sudden, brilliant gold of a wolf who had been found in the dark. "The Alpha is mended, but the world is still jammed," Muna projected, pointing toward a massive subterranean spire in the distance.

No better than what I have on my back right now. "Your stuff is crap," I say, eyeing a little kid as he hands over a shovel to a taller man with a stain-covered hoodie. "I expected the Rebels to have better gears. You know, considering your whole 'Get rid of the damn chimeras things and take back Earth' thing. You're going to need more than peashooters to take down their spaceship." "Oh, believe me. We have more. We just have it packed away at the current moment."

His cloak rustled, warmth for Mara, Sam’s fire his guide, the hum a challenge, spires looming, whispering doom. Lila’s map trembled, hazel eyes wide, voice a whisper, charcoal marking a rune. “These match the grove, Sam—spiral’s the core!” Spark yipped, fierce. Shine, Lila! Her hands steadied, map glowing faintly, courage blooming, the hum a threat, spires closing in.

It was incredibly cute. “It looks like there’s a ton of interference coming from the mine shaft that the orbs come from,” Rachelle said while Spitfire began packing her things back up. “It’s still Saturday. The Dirt doesn’t roll in until tomorrow night at midnight. We’ve got time. We need to be where Control’s backup can get to us and avoid being behind bars in the sheriff’s office when any of the supernatural shenanigans start.” “Which supernatural shenanigans?” Mitch leaned his head and looked up with his eyes in the direction the main mine shaft would be if we were outside.

It was the story of a species that had finally learned how to stop auditing its own soul. ​The Horizon-Shift ​"We’re receiving a signal from the Earth-Spire," Sophia announced, her holographic image now steady and bright. "The 'Black Bloom' has reached the 100-percent saturation point. The Dead-Zones are gone, Elena. The oceans are clear. The 'Rot' has been fully digested." ​Elena looked out at the red sun of Proxima b, then back toward the distant, blue-and-green spark that was Earth. ​"Then the first chapter is finished," Elena said. "Kael, prep the Vane’s Legacy. We aren't staying in orbit. There are three more planets in this system, and the 'Archives' say they have the iron-crust we nee

The moon's blessings and the guidance of the guardian wolf would be her companions in the journey ahead. Mara's heart pounded in her chest as she burst through the broken door and into the cool night air. Fear and adrenaline surged through her veins, pushing her forward as she ran without looking back. She could hear the echoes of her own footsteps and the rustling of leaves, her senses heightened by the urgency of her escape. Meanwhile, Lark and his men had returned to the small house after a quick trip to the car to retrieve some refreshments. As they approached the entrance, their laughter and chatter ceased abruptly. The sight that met their eyes was a stark contrast to what they had lef

After the communication with my dad, we offloaded the supplies we had brought. Jack gave us a quick orientation on how all the weapons worked. We got armed and battle ready. Carl gave us earpieces so that he could have communication with us since he would be leading us throughout the mission. He told us where to head as we exited the building. We gilt-ed from the facility and appeared on the surface over the building. I got on Ashton’s back and he used his super speed, ran as fast as he could heading in the direction that Carl had pointed us to. He gave us his spyware so that he could see where we were heading. We got near the ocean and we stopped.

Habang sina Dave at Rina naman sa iba pang controls. Medyo umuga ang spaceship at nahirapan si Mark sa paglabas namin sa Earth, pero napagtagumpayan pa rin naman namin. Halos sabay-sabay kaming napabuga ng malakas na hangin. Hindi ko aakalaing gano'n pala talaga kahirap ang lumabas ng Earth. Halos wala na kaming hingahan do'n kanina. Sa isang iglap ay bigla kaming nakarinig ng mga hiyawan at palakpakan.
