what
was happening and no one could have planned on what happened next. It
had only been a few minutes and everyone was on edge reacting in many
different way.
Then it appeared. It came out of thin air. Parts of it seemed to appear
and disappear. I felt like the world itself was being torn in two. The air would
heat up and then immediately grow cold. I became harder and harder to
breath. It was then we saw what was happening. The Tritan had appeared
and pieces were breaking off like rain falling from the sky. Falling over our
heads. The sky was literally falling. People began screaming and running but
for those closest to the center there was only silence. No time to run. The last
sounded like a train tearing apart on its tracks. The Tritan burned and twisted
as it came out of the immer piece by piece raining hell down onto the ground.
I reached out for my mother’s hand but couldn’t feel her. Why did I let go in
the first place? I didn’t have time to react. I fell to my knees. The crowd
moved around me and shoved me bruising my sides and shoulders. If felt like
hours but it had only been a few seconds before I turned and looked to my
left. I found my mother lying on the ground. Everything after seemed to fade
to black. The Tritan screeched one more time as it positioned itself on the
ground in two colossal pieces less than a mile away like ship sinking on the
ocean floor devouring any poor soul stationed underneath. There it settled. I
watched as a cloud of dust came towards us like a tsunami. Everything had
gone silent or perhaps I had just gone deaf. Dust and ash flew out from below
the ship covering every in of the air. I could hear the Myra screaming again, I
wasn’t deaf after all. The closest to the epicenter were dead already, the ash
and air mixed together turning their lungs into cement suffocating them in an
instant. Others had become nothing more than black shadows etched onto
walls and the ground. It was their remains mixed with the debris of the Tritan
that surrounded me now. It was then we heard the cry of the beast…
The purge had begun.
The Purge
Some blame the Skrav for what happens next. Others blame humanity.
Truth is it doesn’t really matter. The Purge was the worst three days of my life.
The worst moment of my life began with my mother screaming my name
telling me I had to run. She was trapped lying on the ground a large piece of
the Tritan’s hull covering her broken legs. I was ten yards away from her
crying on my knees. I couldn’t believe one moment we were right next to one
another I could feel her gripping my hand and now it seemed we were miles
apart. I had bruised (if not broken) one of my ribs from where some Eek hit
my side to hard. I didn’t want to run. I didn’t want to leave my mother’s side.
I was the only person moving against the crowd towards the chaos. If I could
just stand up, if I could just get over to where she was. I imagined her holding
me in her arms, she was my angel, always there for me and this was my
moment to be there for her. Any moment now I imagined she would lift the
metal and push it away from her and stand. She wouldn’t die like this. She
shouldn’t die like this. She was my mom and she wouldn’t leave me like this.
She was my mom and she was screaming for me to run.
“We have to go now!” it was Aira; she found me and grabbed my
shoulder. I felt the entire world fall back into place and through the roar of
the crowd I heard the beast again. Crawling out from the ruins of the Tritan
came an animal, not far off from the kinds of kaiju you would imagine seeing
in a horror film. It had skin that was completely black aside from several
massive red tumors that seemed to cover its sides. It had spider like limbs
protruding from what I assumed were its shoulders and hips. Its face looked
like a mix between a crocidile and shark except that its jaw was broken into
three different parts; its teeth where
