X Sonic Novels & Stories

The cicadas sing to the full moon as I stir, unable to completely fall asleep. I’d forgotten how beautifully annoying these things were. Even with jet lag falling asleep is difficult. Hmm... that’s not a cicada. Stirring again, I reached my phone as the screen lit up, my ringtone blaring into the silent room. It’s after Three AM right now... “... who the hell is calling at this...” Oh. My annoyance crumbles and a smile plasters across my face at the caller ID.

And they were screaming a single word: "Awaken!" [The Defensive Line] "Open fire!" Sebastian ordered from the command center, watching the tactical feeds. The automated sonic cannons along the perimeter spun up. WUB-WUB-WUB. A devastating wave of low-frequency sound hit the first wave of cultists. Blood burst from their ears and eyes. Normal men would have collapsed, completely incapacitated. The Ascended merely staggered, shook their heads, and kept charging, firing their assault rifles wildly at the base.

The notion of such a specialized ability intrigued him, even though he remained cautious. "Tell me more about this 'Sonic Resonance,'" Scott urged, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinized the man's expression. The escaped man nodded, understanding the need to provide further explanation. "With Sonic Resonance, I can generate focused sound waves, amplifying them to destructive levels. I can shatter glass, destabilize structures, and even incapacitate enemies through sonic blasts. It's a powerful but dangerous ability, one that the rogues wanted to exploit for their own gain."

The sonic effect skipped everyone who wore the device, including KR members. Vinsen sensed the sonic screamer even before Kayla thought of screaming. He stood on the top of a tower he knew by the solid structure, wasn't susceptible to the sonic effect. With his mind, and hand motions, he controlled the power of the sonic with his eyes closed. He trapped the effects within the borders of V Empire premises, directed the movement of the sonic effects, and told it whom to kill and who not to, what to destroy and what not to. The trees stopped moving, and all KR members and wolves were unharmed, but V Empire and everything related to them got destroyed. The vampires in the tower burst at the soun

I had to use the environment. "I can slave the yard’s old acoustic sensors to a localized loop," I said, my mind racing as the "Architect" pivoted to industrial sabotage. "If I can get the old steam-whistles and the foundry sirens to trigger on a delay, I can create a 'Sonic Screen.' It’ll blow their eardrums and mask your movements." "Do it," Enzo said. He was standing over a massive, rusted anvil, sharpening a machete with a whetstone. The shick-shick-shick was the only heartbeat the room had.

But Damian pointed to the figures around the wolf. They were Shadow Claw warriors. They were holding instruments. Horns. Drums. "They aren't just watching," Damian said. "They're playing. They're creating resonance." "Sonic tuning," Kai said, standing up. "It's not magic. It's acoustics. The sphere is crystal, right? Or star-metal glass? It vibrates. If you hit the right frequency, you can shatter it... or you can stabilize it." "We don't have instruments," I said. "We have voices," Wulfric said. "And we have the room." He tapped his cane on the floor. The sound echoed perfectly, a pure, ringing note. "This chamber," Wulfric said, looking up at the domed ceiling. "It is an echo chamber. A pa
