Maegan, once a towering Camazotz, now loomed as the colossal Nijiron the Rock Titan. Sparks crackled between the spines along his back as he stomped across the battlefield, each footfall shattering the ground.
"Is that... all you've got?" Maegan's voice rumbled from the beast's throat, warped and metallic but unmistakably mocking. "You call yourselves leaders?"
The five tribal leaders fanned out, circling him with weapons ready. Even together, they looked small beneath his towering frame.
"Spread out!" Lord Sunscales shouted. "Don't give him a single target!"
Maegan's glowing eyes swept over them with predatory delight. "Good... run around for me. It'll make the hunt more fun."
He opened his colossal fist, and from deep within, a pulse built. The air screamed as he smashed against the ground creating a level 3 earth quake that carved across the battlefield.
"MOVE!" Nyte Fang shouted.
The destruction annihilating everything in its path, soldiers, trees, even chunks of stone were vaporized instantly. The destruction was strong enough to level an entire village.
Father Hart slammed into the ground, antlers first, raising a towering wall of earthen rock to block part of the blast. It cracked and crumbled under the force but spared the others from instant death.
"His power is too strong!" the Monkey King shouted, slamming his power pole into the ground and raising another wall. "We can't tank those head-on!"
"Then we don't," Grax growled. "We move through him."
He charged, Ursen Axe raised, and slammed into the Spinosaurus's leg with all his might. Sparks flew as metal met metal, the blow staggered Maegan for a moment but did little more than dent the colossal frame.
"Pathetic, you axes and toys cannot hurt me, I am the rock Titan Nijiron" Maegan sneered, swinging hisfistl. The massive limb slammed into Grax and sent him flying across the field, crashing through a line of shattered stone.
Father Hart charged in headbutting Maegan sending sliding backwards.
Even on the Surface, Deer are majestic animals. Fun fact, a full-grown buck can launch itself over eight feet straight into the air.
"Graaaax!" Nyte Fang dashed forward, slicing upward with Gakimo.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
The blade carved deep into Maegan's flank, sending arcs of electricity spraying into the air, but the wound sealed as metal shifted and fused back together.
He raised his fist to strike her but she quickly created distance but she was still in reach to be struck by the debris form his strike.
"You're gnats," Maegan laughed, charging another blast. "Let me show you what real power looks like."
The blast fired again. Father Hart braced and leapt, slamming his antlers into the titans leg mid-attack, knocking his aim aside and saving Nyte Fang from certain death. But the effort left him vulnerable.
Monkey leaped into the air "Gray hair monkey, King fist"
His fist connected with Maegan sending him crashing to the gorund.
Nyte Fang "Incredible, stength for such an old man."
Monkey "Don't underestimate the primate"
Maegan quickly stood up, grinned, a predator scenting blood.
The Fall of a Leader
"Father Hart!" the Monkey King shouted. "Fall back!"
Too late.
Maegan lunged forward, jaws opening wide. Father Hart tried to leap away, but the titan was faster.
With a horrifying crunch, Maegan's teeth clamped around him, lifting the proud stag warrior into the air.
"NOOOO!" Nyte Fang screamed, sprinting forward.
Father Hart roared in agony, thrashing against the crushing bite, but the metal jaws held fast. Maegan lifted his head and swallowed him whole , antlers, armor, and all, with a sickening gulp.
Silence fell.
Then titan threw his head back and let out a triumphant, thunderous roar.
"ONE DOWN!" he bellowed. "Four to go!"
The battlefield froze in horror. Even the parasites stopped shrieking. The Animal soldiers who'd fought so bravely stared in stunned silence, their morale shattered in an instant.
"...Father Hart..." Lord Sunscales whispered, eyes wide.
The Monkey King dropped to his knees, gripping the ground. "He... he's gone."
Nyte Fang trembled, rage and grief twisting her face. "You monster... YOU MONSTER!"
Something deep inside Grax snapped.
The bear warrior rose slowly from the rubble, his breath heaving, eyes burning with primal fury. "You..." he growled, gripping his axe. "You dare... eat one of us?"
Maegan turned toward him, grinning. "You're next, bear."
"NO!" Grax roared, the earth itself quaking under his voice. "You'll choke on your arrogance!"
Abi flared around him, howling like a storm. He lifted his axe high, every muscle in his massive body tensing. "This is for Father Hart!"
He hurled the Ursen Axe with all his strength "Mammoth Rocket"
The weapon spun through the air, glowing with raw Abi as it accelerated, faster and faster, breaking the sound barrier with a BOOM. It screamed like a missile as it streaked across the field and slammed into Maegan's head.
The impact was colossal.
"GRAAAAAHHHHHH!" Maegan roared, stumbling backward. Sparks exploded from his skull as his spines overloaded, electricity arcing wildly across his body. His legs buckled. His massive frame shook.
Then the rock titan crashed to the ground, the impact shaking the valley.
Aftermath of the Fall
Nyte "He did it!"
Monkey "incredible"
Sunscales "Bears really are the Apex of all predators."
The leaders stood motionless, staring at the smoking body of the beast. Around them, soldiers wept and howled, chanting Father Hart's name through gritted teeth.
"Father Hart..." Lord Sunscales whispered again, his spear trembling in his hands. "He was the soul of the Deer. We... we needed him."
Nyte Fang clenched her fists, tears burning at the corners of her eyes. "He gave his life for us. For all of us."
The Monkey King rose slowly, eyes full of sorrow and fire. "Then we make it count. Every breath he bought us, we use it to tear that monster apart."
Grax stood over Maegan's fallen form, chest heaving, rage still burning in his eyes. "One way or another," he growled, "we end this. For Father Hart."
The air was heavy with grief and fury. The Animal Tribes had lost one of their finest. The war was no longer just about victory.
It was about vengeance.
