Leviathan’s eyes go wide as he realizes that they are surrounded by enemies, backing up slowly he arrives at the Humvee door. Climbing inside he sees B8 is still trying to hack the computer, taking the keys and sticking it into the ignition he starts the engine “Forget the hacking and drive!”
Glancing at its master the wires retract into its palm “Master, Right away” grabbing the steering while it pushes the pedal hard and the Humvee is instantly propelled forward through the brush “Master, where to?”
Glancing out the window he sees a beast chasing after them, the creature is running on all fours, three toes on each foot ending in razor sharp green claws. Each step it takes causes the ground to slightly sizzle, its body is lean like that of a lion but as you get closer to the tip of its tail is slowly formed into a crab like pincer. Its head looked like that of a bat, huge ears and piercing fangs. From the sides of its mouth a yellowish gas constantly rose, leaving behind a trail as it ran, any plants that came into contact with the gas would visibly start to wither. The creature was running faster than they were driving, constantly gaining ground.
“B8 drive faster! Faster!”
“Master, with the amount of vegetation in the way unless you want me to drive through the thickest bushes with no idea what we might run into, this is the optimum speed for travel”
Gnashing his teeth he rolls down the window, and sticks the gun out of the window and starts to open fire on the creature. As bullets sweep out from the gun a smile forms on Leviathan’s face “Take that you bastard!”
As the bullets near the creature it begins to leap from side to side, sometimes jumping, and sometimes ducking causing every bullet to miss. Seeing this causes Leviathan’s eyes to go wide “I refuse to believe I cant hit you!” trying to take better aim he continues the hail of fire. But as the creature dodges the bullets its speed slows down causing his aim to worsen.
“B8 I have an idea, head towards the mining camp” continuing his firing with one hand he takes the ammo clips from the pouch to get them ready.
----------------------------------------
A large blue hologram is looks down at a human male, the hologram’s features are indistinguishable. The human male is of medium build with neatly cut dirty blonde hair, dressed in some sort of military fatigues and combat boots. The most distinguishable feature would be his robotic hand peeking from under his sleeves. “Major Fang, it took a lot of effort and resources to get you to establish that mining camp secretly without the first prince finding out, if the third prince cant acquire the metal from that site we will lack the funds to advance our causing his highness, you, and me will be finished!”
Major Fang looks up towards the hologram revealing a cybernetic eye “Don’t worry adviser, the beast in this forest where fierce but after we built the wall no more miner drones or patrolmen have been killed”
The hazy blue figure nods its head “Good, I won't be able to contact you anymore as this is to risky, in three months time when you leave and sell the ore we can move onto the next part of our plan when the funds are available, over and out”
As the hologram fades Major Fang presses a button on the control panel turning off the hologram communication device. Looking out the window overlooking the mining camp he sees a Humvee approaching in the distance “James and Thomas are back, I wonder what they found” Pushing a button on the control panel to open the gates he heads out to meet them.
----------------------------------------
As the Humvee enters the clearing the gate of the base comes into view “Fuck we made it to the base but I didn't think there would be a wall!” turning around he sees the creature gaining on them, taking aim he continues firing. After a few seconds *Click click* “Dam that's the last of the ammo, all that's left is B8’s rifle” hesitating on weather to take B8’s rifle or not he notices the gates of the base start to open.
As the gate opens a swarm of people exit the gate dressed similar to the two men from before, green shirt and brown pants with combat boots all carrying a rifle. As the last one comes out he is trailed by a man wearing military clothing. The first group of men form into a parallel line and drop down on one knee while the second group stand behind them, all aiming their rifles.
The man in the military uniform stands to the side and lift up what looks to be a metallic hand and points at the creature “Men, shoot down that Vandark for me!”
A hailstorm of bullets fire towards the Vandark, as the creature sees no way to dodge all the bullets its chest swells and it spews out yellow gas from its mouth. The yellow fog seems to have no effect on the bullets and they bombard its body.
Seeing the soldiers full attention on the creature causes Leviathan’s brows to rise “B8 circle around back of these people!”
Stepping on the peddle B8 drives behind the men “Master, what now?”
A sinister smile appears on Leviathan’s face “Ram them!”
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
The Vandark riddled with bullets closes in on the men as it puffs up its chest to release another attack, but before he does a smile appears on Major Fang “Charge complete” holding up a simple looking gun, he releases the trigger. As he does a beam of light materializes from the barrel of the gun, to the Vandarks head, and 30 feet behind it.
*Sizzle* The air itself around the beam burns as it materialized. The beam disappears as fast as it came. From the time the trigger was released, to the beam materialization and its disappearance not even half a second passed.
As the Vandark drops to the ground the Humvee finally makes contact with the line of soldiers. Plowing through the line of people was as easy as driving through paper in a vehicle designed to transverse dense jungle.
“Was that a laser gun?!?” looking out the window he spots the man in uniform who fired the laser, pointing at him he turns to B8. “B8 hit that man!”
B8 quickly turns the car around and speeds towards the uniform man.
Finally getting a good look at the Humvee Major Fang sees that it is not one of his people in the car causing his face to twist in rage “You mother fuckers, who are you!” he begins to run towards the vehicle pulling back his right fist.
As Leviathan sees this he squints at the man while putting his fingers to his forehead. I’m going to kill you bastards! You ruined the plan! If the prince finds out I’m de-

Psi 3/20
Major Fang swings with his cybernetic fist in a moment of fury, as the fist makes contact with the car it plows through like a hot knife to butter, but it fails to stop the car as it rams into his body.
As the engine dies and the car comes to a stop he furrows his brows why didn’t he dodge? Is he crazy, thinking for a moment Leviathan opens his eyes wide “B8 quick get out and shoot him!”
B8 exits the car and begins shooting the man that is now attached to the front end of the car, but nothing happens.
“Was I mistaken? He's not some super powerful man, but just crazy?” getting out of the car Leviathan walks over and picks up the gun the man dropped.
Basic Laser pistol
Durability: 18/20
Damage: 40
Charge Time: 10
Range: 50 ft
“Now this feels like Sci-Fi!” walking up to he takes the holster from the uniform man's body, strapping the pistol to his waist. Looking over the man he notices that his entire right arm is metallic “B8 can you use this arm?” looking over at B8 with expectation in his eyes he points towards the arm.
B8 looks at the arm and thinks for a moment “Master, I wont know till I try”
“Better than nothing” nodding his head he looks around “I’m going to go look inside the base, judging from what we heard from the other guy this should be all the people. Kill anyone that survived being hit by the car, take all the ammo from the guns and anything that’s of value and bring it inside” pointing towards the uniform man “Also bring him in to see if you can do anything with his parts”
“Master, right away” gripping the gun it moves towards the group of people.
Seeing this Leviathan nods his head and moves towards the gates. As he gets closer he notices that the walls are about five stories tall and beyond them he can see a tower. Moving through the gate he grabs the pistol and pulls the trigger causing the charging processes to begin. After entering the gates the tower comes into view, the tower was only the top most part of the structure, it was actually a rather thin looking pyramid made out of some sort of black metal. The pyramid was about ten stories tall, about five stories wide, and six stories thick. Noticing that the tower was directly in the center of the base he continues to survey the surroundings. Directly behind the tower is a large hill with a hole leading down into the ground, presumably the mine shaft. On the right side near the wall was a fairly large wooden building.
As he walks further into the base he start to hear gunfire from the outside, turning his head back for a brief moment he heads towards the wooden building. As he comes towards the front door he puts hit left hand on his forehead while aiming with his right activating his Mind reading ability towards the wooden house, but picks up nothing.
Psi 0/20
Nodding his head he looks down towards the gun in his hand How do I discharge this?? Looking over the gun while still holding the trigger he doesn't see a way. Pointing the gun at the sky he releases the trigger, as he does the laser beam materializes and disappears leaving behind steam as it burns the air “Fuck this is dangerous” tucking the pistol back into his holster he opens the door.
As he walk through the door the first thing he notices are rows of beds, at the foot of each bed is a trunk “This...could take a while” walking forward he opens the first trunk. Inside the trunk are a set of clothes and a pouch, reaching out he grabs the clothes “This is the first set of clothes I’ve seen not stained by blood” no other information pops into his view “Does this mean it's just a normal item?” putting the clothes down he reaches for the pouch. After opening the pouch he finds 3 gold and 12 silver, moving towards the next chest he finds the exact same contents, only this time this time it was 2 gold and 32 silver. After going through all the chest he collected 140 gold 438 silver and 230 copper, after stuffing the three different coins into three different sacks he puts them in a backpack he found. Slinging the pack over his shoulders he heads out the barracks.
After heading out of the barracks he sees B8 standing there with a pile of guns and the body of the uniform soldier “Good job B8, did you find anything useful?”
“Master, all those men had on them where the guns. I thought it illogical to carry just the ammo because it would be easier to just get the gun, also the major has a cybernetic eye as well as an arm”
“Good, we can deal with the guns and the guy in a bit, but lets go check out that tower” Walking past B8 Leviathan heads for the tower.
“Master, I’m pretty sure that’s a ship”
Stopping in his tracks he turns around and looks at B8 as a smile creeps on his face “lets go!”
As they walk up to the ship they see door, getting closer allows them to see a control panel. Looking the control panel over Leviathan hesitates to touch it “Can you open it B8?”
“Master, I’m Not sure but it will take time” walking up he extends his palm causing wires to extending and attach to the control panel.
Nodding his head Leviathan heads towards the mines.
