Amphibia fang and eyes, Pilot chapter: fire and monster.

I hope the pilot episode is enjoyable. And I hope I've managed to blend these two worlds well.

There's a strange smell in the air.

A beaked animal raises its neck above the undergrowth. The creature resembles a cross between a featherless ostrich and a lizard. Its neck and the tip of its tail are light blue, while the rest of its body is light brown with a light-colored belly.[1]

He blinks, only seeing the females, other males, and chicks grazing peacefully in the open field.

The females look similar to him, but without the blue coloring. The chicks are brown and yellow, with white spots. They haven't lost their down yet.

He continues eating the grass, and if he's lucky, maybe some insects.

But the smell still hasn't gone away. Hmmmm...

A croak catches his attention. He walks toward the sound and sees one of the other males beside him look at him in terror. Everyone slowly backs away as he croaks, asking what's going on.  Why are they so afraid of him?!

Poor, foolish bird.

Behind him stood a bipedal reptilian creature with a slightly wide snout and a long tail with two small protuberances above each eye. The creature's body was robust, with broad legs and arms that weren't too wide, but not too large. Three-fingered hands with small but very sharp claws.

Its body is bluish-gray, with a cream-colored belly. It has a blue patch on its head that covers it almost completely, with only the upper jaw and half of the lower jaw remaining the normal color, resembling a mask.

Its hands, parts of its forearms, parts of its feet, and legs were the same color as the 'mask,' giving the impression that it was wearing gloves and loose socks.[2]

Its blue eyes were focused on the back of its prey's neck.

The animal continued to squawk, begging its master to tell it what was happening.

"Rrrr…"

His eyes widened as he felt a strong, carrion-smelling breath on the back of his neck. Slowly, he turned around only to be greeted by a cavern of flesh and teeth, even seeing the uvula.

Unfortunately, that was his last sight as everything went dark.

A group of small, bipedal reptiles, larger than rodents, hop happily, trying to catch insects in the shadows of the forest. The lime-green creatures run when they notice something approaching.[3]

The predator steps where the small creatures once stood. It walks calmly, holding its prey in its mouth by the neck. Drops of blood drip down its lips.

It stops, looking left and right, and continues on its way.

It does the same thing several times, occasionally turning a corner among the trees.

Listening to the birdsong and flying reptiles without much enthusiasm.

It smells the claw marks on a tree made by its paws and continues walking.

The predator sees a large, two-story structure made of stone and wood, abandoned for many years. Vegetation has already taken over the walls of this place.

It sighs through its nostrils, having finally reached its den.

He enters through an opening in the rocks.

Inside, there aren't many important things, just worthless objects whose names he doesn't know, and a skeleton of the den's former owner.

The skeleton sits on a pewter wooden object with another metal object beside it on the ground. The skull has a hole in the side.

The predator shakes its head before entering a hole in the ground and carefully descending a ladder.

He lets out a small "roooooo" to announce his arrival.

He only receives a faint moan and a sad groan.

He approaches a female lying on the cold stone floor. She looks just like him, only sandy brown with a belly the same color as his. No sign of blue spots.

He places the prey in front of him, hoping she'll eat. The female turns her face away from the food and curls up with her tail.

The male simply lowers his head sadly, his eyes focused on her, only to see something behind her.

Behind the female, pressed against the wall, a mound of dry leaves and tiny egg fragments.

He sadly lies down in front of her and eats his kill, hoping to make her hungry.

The taste is no longer the same.

Everything is so cold lately.

His life is no longer the same.

Brrr boom! From inside his den, the male saw and heard the heavens roar. He saw how the wind was so aggressive it was knocking over trees.

It was supposed to be a calm night.

The clouds weren't behaving normally either, as they were emanating a strange, intense blue glow, along with lightning of the same color.

The male swore he saw faces forming in the clouds.

He growled.

While the male watched the den entrance, the female slept, oblivious to her stomach pains.

Every time thunder rumbled, she growled, as if begging him to stop making noise while she suffered. A strong wind inside the den made her shiver with cold, but she refused to get up.

After a minute, the wind died down, but she felt a weight on her body.

"Arrrrr... huh?"  The female opens one eye before raising her neck and opening the other eye. She shakes her waist, confirming that there is indeed something on top of her. Her jaw drops.

Slowly she turns, surprised to see a strange creature sleeping with its head resting on the side of her belly, near her thigh.

She considers biting or calling the male to do it and get rid of it, but she just brings her snout close to her face and sniffs.

The creature has strange fur on its head, with no visible hair on its body other than this strange thing on its body that doesn't look like hair. It has long arms and legs, but they are smaller than hers in comparison; the creature's body in general is smaller than hers.

A hand with... five fingers? It looks a bit like the skeleton upstairs.

I've never seen a creature like that.

She gives a loud sniff. The pupils of her eyes glow.

The creature is also a female, and a young one, close to reaching maturity.

It's practically a puppy.

Its tail wags and it lovingly licks the puppy's face. The puppy squirms a little, but remains asleep.

The strange creature shivers a little in the cold. Seeing this, the female curls up around it for extra warmth.

What's this strange feeling?

Domino? She rubs her hand, feeling a strange sensation. It's like she's running her hand over a leather purse.

It's not Domino.

The girl opens her eyes to find a reptilian face right above her legs. Anne stammered, unsure why she couldn't scream. Over her shoulder, she felt the tip of the creature's tail move.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down and tried to analyze the situation.

Okay, you woke up with a monster...

She looks a little closer to the creature.

Dinosaur... wrapped around you.

It must be just Sasha's prank, right? This has to be a super realistic doll. Yes, it has to be! Good, girls, get out of here!

The dinosaur's face began to contort.

"What the—" she almost managed to scream when the large lizard exhaled.  Some mucus splashed onto her clothes. But the dinosaur didn't wake up.

A dinosaur... It's a real dinosaur...

A dinosaur is sleeping.

The girl feels like she's about to collapse. She has to run away. She can't stay here when this thing wakes up hungry.

She sees her backpack over the lizard's head.

Okay, first get the backpack, then... I think about what to do.

Hesitantly, she tries to slowly push the head out of her legs. She grunted; the lizard's head was heavy.

Over and over she pushed, but it couldn't budge. The girl closed her eyes, mumbling.

"Aaaauuurrr." The girl's blood ran cold at the sound. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself reflected in the dinosaur's amber eyes.

No screams, no stutters, nothing.

Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

The lizard blinked, watching Anne. Its head resting on her legs.

The dinosaur blinked one last time before smiling and pulling her head away from the girl to go back to sleep, leaving her free. Anne blinked blankly.

She stood up quickly, running to her backpack and hugging her.

She checked her things, thanking her for it. Putting the backpack on her back, she checked her location, and it became even more confusing. She was in an attic, with stone walls and moss. There were a few square holes, probably shelves, with pieces of what were once important things.

The floor was a bit, well, mossy. There were weeds and some luminescent mushrooms.

Oh, and the corpse of a half-eaten dinosaur with blood all around it.

Looking away, she could see a—

"A ladder!" she shouted in a whisper. "Yes, that's it! I just have to go slowly."

Little by little, she walked toward her goal, of course, without taking her eyes off the sleeping dinosaur.

Bad choice, friend.

Anne froze as she felt a breath blowing through her hair.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Slowly she turned, seeing the male right in front of the stairs. He wasn't happy at all.

"Come on..." Anne said before screaming as the male advanced. She fell to the ground, crawling backward as the male only got closer.

Her heart pounded.

With each step, his mouth opened, and she saw his teeth more and more.

Anne screamed in pain as he stomped on her left leg. His teeth were very close to her face.

The male lifted his head. She knew what he was going to do. This thing was going to fall on her like a guillotine.

Won't she be able to see her parents? Her friends? Domino?

She cried, praying to anyone to save her. It was then that she screamed.

"Mom!"  The male's head only came within a few inches of her face, then froze.

The blue dinosaur cried out as the female bit his snout. She pulled him away from the girl, before pushing the male away, nearly tripping on the stairs.

The male shook his head before lunging at the girl again, but the female stepped in front of her defensively.

The girl's eyes widened in astonishment. Is this defending me?

The male roared, but the female roared even louder, startling him. Then he roared again.

"Aaaaarrrr!"

"Aaaaarrraaarra!" She roared back.

"Aaarrrr!" He pointed his arms at Anne.

"Waaaayyerrr!" She made a gesture with her claws.

"Aaaaarrrr!"

"Uyttaaaaarrr!"

That's almost human.

They... am I arguing?

Anne sees this with surprise. "It looks like my parents arguing. I already know how it's going to end." She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Aaaaafrrrr." The mother points her head to a corner of the wall before returning to the boy's face.

"Ruuuaaaarr!" he replied tearfully.

"Aaaaafrrrr!"

The male was about to try to scream again, but seeing the female's frowning face, he stopped dead in his tracks.

He raised his head and claws toward the ceiling, stifling a scream of frustration that surely the entire forest would have heard.

His head and claws fell downward as he went to the corner she pointed to and lay down there.

The female gave a little victory dance with her hindquarters. She let out a sound that sounded like a laugh.

"Yeah, really, it's just like my parents," Anne said before seeing that the brown dinosaur's focus was on her. The female tilted her head toward her.

"Heh... Then I guess I'll..." Anne pointed her fingers at the ladder, "Try to find a way home, so goodbye. And thanks for saving me?"

She runs to the stairs, but as soon as she sets foot on the first step, the female lifts her up, grabbing her backpack.

"Come on!" she screams as the female walks to a pile of leaves, where she releases the girl.

Anne sits down, legs and arms crossed, her face a mix of fear and anger. The female pokes her with her snout, making her fall to the side.

"Oooorrr."

"Ahh, you're not going to let me go, are you?" Anne asks, but her response isn't the best. "Hey, what are you doing! Wait!" Her screams are muffled as the female sits on top of her like a chicken, with only the girl's arms and legs able to escape.

Anne has to admit, her belly is soft and smooth, but it's still suffocating her. The girl begins to punch and scratch to escape. The female smiles as her new cub wrestles with her belly.

The girl's arms fall to the ground, and the screaming stops.

Oh, looks like she's already back to sleep.

"Ruuuuuuuu..."

The next day started with Anne feeling like a kitten. The female took her from the attic, lifting her beautiful backpack only to place it on the floor of the house.

A human house. I mean, that's pretty obvious when you see the attic.

Looking for the brown dinosaur, presumably a female, Anne sees her sitting at the entrance to the den, with her back to her.

Looking for escape points, she sees that the windows are boarded up with wooden planks and not a single door.

But what about the upstairs? Well...

Looking up, there are only two wooden planks, one hanging almost fallen.

Seeing there's no escape, Anne decides to investigate.

Honestly, she doesn't see anything interesting, but it's better than doing nothing.

Pieces of sofa, a mattress, pieces of the upstairs, a shirt button, a scythe-shaped claw, a wooden pistol with a metal barrel...

"...?"

Anne tilts her head, shaking the object with her hands as she examines it. It looks like a pistol pirates use in movies, with engravings of sea dinosaurs carved into the wood.

Looking at where the gun was, Anne can see the leg of the chair and the bones of a hand... Looking up, Anne sees the skeleton of a man, probably an adult, wearing ancient-looking clothes, with rips in the chest and a large stain of old blood. Looking at the floor around the chair, she can see patches of claws and blood.

There's a bullet on the floor.

Turning back to the man, she can see that his hair is white with spiderwebs. His mouth is missing some teeth and there's a hole through his skull.

Anne looks at the hole and then at the gun in her hand. She throws the gun on the floor.

She walks away, sitting on the floor. She puts her backpack on her lap to look for something.

Anne takes out a small piece of paper, a photo of herself with two girls, one blonde and one with black hair.

Tears fall onto the image.

Wiping her tears with her arm, she pulls out a strange music box with three jewels. One blue, one pink or red, and one green, all dull in color.

Troubled, she opens the lid, waiting for the sparkle. But nothing happens.

"What?"

The girl begins to open and close the box several times. Again, nothing happens.

"No, no, no!"

With a loud slam, she closes it.

"Why?"

Yesterday was supposed to be her day. Her special day, hers and her friends' and family's.

It was her 13th birthday.

Hugging her legs, Anne begins to sob.

And she cries for a long time.

Sasha's words linger in her mind.

Why did you make me take the box?

On the fourth or fifth day—she's not even sure—the dinosaur couple finally let her wander outside the house.

Under strict surveillance, of course, of Yothaka, the name she gave the female. Or Thahan, the male.

Thai names she almost gave her cat.

Yothaka is affectionate... With a strange smell, but Anne is already used to it. Yothaka always lies down with her, tries to comfort her when Anne has a crying fit.

As for Thahan, he always moves away. He doesn't even try to get close, preferring to spend as much time hunting as possible rather than being near her. He always gives her a look that says, "I don't want you here."

"I don't want to be here either," Anne said, seeing Thahan looking at Anne. The male dinosaur is perched low in a tree.

Anne returned her focus to the game she's playing on her phone, which, by some miracle, has 10,000% battery (is that even possible?). She's sitting on a fallen log, almost comfortably.  Her backpack is beneath her feet.

Yothaka watches curiously from the floor next to Anne.

"That's it!" Anne raised her fist in victory. Her monstrous nanny roared in celebration.

Anne blinked, remaining silent for a moment before laughing. Curiously, Yothaka laughed along, or tried to imitate her as she always does.

That's weird.

A week later?

Again, she was being carried like a kitten. Only they were going deeper into the forest.

Walking, she saw all sorts of insects and plants of all shapes and sizes.

And some rocks positioned strangely. House ruins?

Where is she, anyway?

Like, there are human houses and dinosaurs.

'Could I be in the future?!' Anne's eyes widened as she imagined this possibility. 'I heard rumors that they're trying to clone cave wolves, did it work?' she couldn't help but feel her body shaking.

Yothaka walked happily, nodding slowly as if listening to some inner music.

Thahan rolled his eyes.

In a tree just above them were three reptilian creatures with membranous wings, similar to large pterosauruses. They had large heads with protruding teeth and no beaks.  Its tail was long and ended in an arrowhead.

The three were green, with dark stripes running from their heads to the tip of their tails, and had light, almost beige bellies. (4)

Everyone stared at the strange family. The three looked to see if they were seeing the same thing.

The first one grunts, as if asking something. He pointed his wing at the dinosaurs and the human.

The second and third ones shrugged, without a response. They decided to fly after them.

Wow!" The girl's eyes sparkled like stars as she saw the enormous, crystal-clear lake, teeming with aquatic and semi-aquatic vegetation. Along with an enormous abundance of animal life.

And there are also some giant mushrooms, but they also exist within the forest, with some even close to home. Honestly, the mushrooms only served to give her a theory about where she might be.

But she dismissed that theory; after all, this doesn't look like the center of the Earth.

With predators and prey peacefully drinking water.

Like the long-necked dinosaurs, the three-horned dinosaurs, pterodactyls, and several T-Rexes.

She's not very good at remembering the names of dinosaurs. Maybe Marcy is a little better, since she often compares their behavior to that of RPG monsters.

They finally arrived. After, what? Two hours? I don't think it was just a few minutes. Yes, just a few minutes of walking.

She walked alongside her "guardians," heading toward the edge of the lake.

Not far from them were several dinosaurs similar to Triceratops, but smaller and with only two upward-curving horns on their heads. The spines on their bony shields were small, except for two that were quite large; all were a yellowish-white color.

They were all brown, with their bellies, undersides of their heads, and tails being dark beige, but that was only the females and their calves. The males, especially the leader of the herd, were caramel-colored with some golden hues. On his bony shield, he had two red eye-shaped spots with two black dots. (5)

Some calves looked at the trio with great surprise, tilting their small heads to the side.

The females didn't even care; they were busy talking and cleaning the babies.

The males were play-fighting, butting heads for fun with the other males.

The leader of the herd, a scarred male, lying on the lake sand, raised an eyebrow.

They're definitely going to devour this human.

He lays his head on his paw and sleeps.

Thahan entered the water first, very calmly, while his partner, Yothaka, jumped in, splashing water everywhere before diving in. Thahan blinked three times before rolling his eyes.

Anne watches all this with amusement. Setting her backpack down, she takes a few steps before the triceratops start squawking.

The vast majority of the animals remain completely silent; others are already in a defensive position.

And Anne, well, she's transfixed by the dinosaur, or rather, monster, that's crawling out of the trees.

It's huge, almost like Thahan and Yothaka, only bigger and chubbier. Almost as big as the long-necked ones, the same color and stripes as a tiger, with a face that looks like it's wearing a mask.  With a row of spines from the neck to the tip of the tail. With limps on the hands and paws. Legs so muscular they would make any bodybuilder envious.(6)

The most prominent detail is the countless arrows and spears embedded in its already scarred skin. A metal spear is embedded right in the dinosaur's right eye, with only one honey-colored eye.

Its gaze falls on the human girl, judging her.

Her two guardians gasped as the giant brought its snout closer and sniffed her hair. The only one, its pill, widened, and its eye twitched. Its lips parted, exposing its red gums and shark teeth in a bestial smile.

You've finally arrived...

She trembled. Is this death? Sweat dripped down her forehead in torrents. Anne felt like she might start crying at any moment. She was about to say goodbye to her life, her friends, and her family.

The cyclops sensed this.

Pulling his lips together, he chirped calmly, then walked away from her, into the middle of the herd of triceratops.

All the dinosaurs went back to doing something as if nothing had happened.

Anne blinked blankly. "Did it realize I was scared and decide to leave?"

Yothaka quickly emerged from the water and proceeded to pet Anne. She returned the gesture by hugging her head.  Thahan stood in front of the girl, simply watching the Cyclops from a distance.

"You're not normal animals... Nothing here is normal," Anne thought, stroking Yothaka's snout. "Can we go in the water?" she asked, and the female only chirped in response.

After changing her swimsuit into a swimsuit. Don't question why she has it in her backpack. She scrubbed her clothes with her hands to remove the dirt and then left them on a rock before immediately starting to play with Yothaka.

Anne was placed on her back by the female. Yothaka made a sound to tell the girl to hold on tight and take a deep breath.

They knowingly dived to the deepest part of the lake. Together they saw everything. Seagrass, schools of fish, and something that surprised Anne a little.

Anne pointed to get her rider's attention. Yothaka smiled, seeing what her cubs wanted to show her.

A gigantic black salamander with an orange tail as long as a giant crocodile swam beside them. Anne and Yothaka looked at each other and smiled, continuing their exploration.

They passed over the legs of the large long-necked animals, startling some of them when they surfaced to breathe.

They screamed and complained. Anne and she laughed, saying, seeing the faces of the long-necked animals, it was like seeing an angry giraffe.

Sometimes they burst out of the water just to try to scare Thahan, but he simply continued floating in the water.

"Aarrraaaarr!" Anne roared playfully, chasing after Yothaka. She screamed, pretending to be afraid of her cub.

Thahan snorted as he lay on the sand. His outburst was interrupted by a ball of sand and mud. Looking in the direction from which he was thrown, he saw Anne and her partner facing away, with the human pretending to whistle innocently.

He returns to rest, but again a ball of sand and mud hits his face. He growls, wiping it away with his claws. Another ball of sand and mud hits him.

Another.

And another.

Ok, there it is. With a vein in his forehead and a roar, he runs toward them, making them run.

"Hhhhaaaa, you're too slow!" Anne screamed, her tongue lolling out.

"Tyrrreraaarrr!" Yothaka roared.

A wicked smile appeared on Thahan's face. He quickened his pace, making them scream in despair.

Meanwhile, atop a mushroom, the trio of small pterosauruses are watching all this with great amusement, eating a bunch of fish and popcorn.

And the one-eyed giant sees all this between the trees.

Thahan, Yothaka, and Anne are watching the sunset. The human is lying on Yothaka's side, with the female resting her neck against Thahan's.

Both the female and the human are almost exhausted, drained of energy from all the playing.

Out of the corner of his eye, Thahan sees the human already sound asleep. The human cub slept so peacefully.

His gaze hardens. "You're not my cub, and you won't be able to replace them."

"Ache." Anne lets out a cute sigh, making his eyes soften. His heart pounds.

But you know, you're actually quite cute.

A smile spread across his face.

You may not be my cub, but you're family now. Hmmmm.

I can live with this.

I think it's been a year since I've been living with them. I'm still trying to leave to find a way home or to my world, but I don't think they'll let me go too far from their territory. Although I can already go to the lake alone.

I've seen a lot of things, houses, human and animal skeletons in this region, especially in our territory. Some died fighting, and others... Well... They just gave up.

And if the Cyclops' scars indicate anything, it's that there are or once were humans in this world. They were probably in great conflict with the dinosaurs in the region.

Oh, did I forget to mention the Cyclops? He's basically a giant Thahan with spikes and one good eye. A dinosaur so big he's capable of killing the fiercest long-necked dinosaurs. I've even seen him take one down with a single headbutt! Every now and then I feel him watching me, even if I can't see him, I know the Cyclops is there... Among the trees.

But that's nothing to worry about.

Thahan has been getting me up lately on his hunts. It's like a father taking his son fishing, only bloodier. At first, it was just observation, then he brought me a kind of featherless, live ostrich, waiting for me to kill it!

Like, why?! When I refused, well, he killed and ate the 'ostrich' right in front of me.

Is it normal that I don't even care about the blood that splashed on me anymore?

The second time I made a spear. He doesn't like it much. He screamed and growled, but after a long argument, he calmed down.

Now that I've noticed, I argued with a dinosaur... I'm already going crazy.

We started stealthily following a herd of dinosaur ostriches hidden in the tall grass.

Thahan managed to grab him by the neck, and I took advantage and pierced his chest with the tip of my spear, giving him a quick kill.  We've already secured food at a great time, because the supplies in the backpack have already run out.

When we returned, Yothaka licked me affectionately, proud of our first hunt together.

It was... It was good. It's a good memory.

Now I'm planning how I'll let them go beyond the forest, to the plains. I know I can't go alone, and I don't want to; I want to take them with me.

I'm sure when Sasha and Marcy see me, they'll be jealous, because I have two dinosaurs as my personal bodyguards.

If they're alive. No, of course they're alive! I'm sure!

But maybe I need to wait a little longer before looking for them. Maybe another year...

Anne turned off her phone, having already finished writing in her digital diary.

Thahan grunts. "It's time to get dinner tonight."

You know? Sometimes I think I'm starting to understand what you're saying.

He was about to let her climb onto his back before running off with Yothaka beside them.

Anne smiled. "I can enjoy this for a bit."

While this was happening.

The trio of small pterosaurs were flying peacefully a few kilometers away, at the edge of the forest.

One of the pterosaurs spotted a large trail of smoke coming in the distance.

He squawked, telling his brothers to hold him to the smoke.

Flying for a while, they finally found where the black cloud was coming from, or rather, who it was coming from.

"Oooooooaaaarrrr!"

The trio screamed in fear before flying into the forest.

The sun was already setting. And Anne and her guardians were already heading home for a good meal.

Anne was already talking to the female about what kind of herbs they'd added to the meat to give it more flavor; she already has some she knows are edible in her backpack. Oh! And her spear is attached to her backpack with vines.

She was talking to Yothaka, who was listening intently. The female dinosaur was already drooling.

But the male suddenly stopped in mid-stride and sniffed the air.

Thahan growled.

"Hey, big guy, what's up? Is that trio again?" Anne asked. But he just continued growling, looking back.

Yothaka gave a deep sniff. Is that the burning smell?

The ground began to shake. Anne saw the stones popping like popcorn.

"What's—oh!" Anne said, seeing a long-necked creature running toward them.

It was as big as a tree.  Its neck is as large as most long-necked animals, but its posture is more like that of cartoon brontosauruses. Its long tail and whip are also chubby. Its head is quite small compared to its body.

Its body is gray, with the head, neck, and front legs being bright red. Its belly is white. (8)

A fantastic animal to behold.

And now it's coming towards us!

Anne screamed as she was almost crushed, but luckily Thahan pulled her out of the way.

The neck continued running without looking back, screaming and crying, fire burning the tip of its tail.

"Isn't that little Bob?" Anne asked. The ground began to shake violently.

Where little Bob came from, a large number of herbivores and carrion of all kinds and sizes are running in fear and despair, some even catching fire.

A huge amount of flesh, teeth, and muscle is heading straight for them!

"Stampede!"  Anne screamed, jumping onto Thahan's back. The trio began to run, dodging the animals as they ran.

Looking back, among the herd, she could see a huge amount of fire and smoke rising into the sky.

Can you see night already? No.

"What's happening?"

"Oooooooaaaarrrr!" A huge silhouette appeared amidst the sea of fire and smoke.

"What the— oh shit!" Anne screamed, seeing a fireball fall beside them.

Anne watched in horror as an explosion killed most of the dinosaurs on her right. The animals' bodies were torn apart and burned.

Another fireball was fired from the silhouette, this time hitting the dinosaurs in front of them. Some of the dinosaurs stumbled over the charred bodies.

Yothaka and Thahan dodged out of the way, escaping the stampede.

Without looking back, they don't notice the silhouette deviating from the path in the direction they are going.

The wind is strong, making the fire spread faster.

Thahan growls as the fire approaches, but his expression changes when he sees a wide river in the distance. They'll be safe if they cross! They just have to go down the hill and—

A fireball falls right in front of them, and they stop in surprise.

"Oooooooaaaarrrr!"

From within the flames, they see a huge, long-necked creature similar to a brachiosaurus, with completely black skin and several tattoos, emerge. The strangest thing is that this thing has armor on its legs that appears to be made of black bricks. And its head has a helmet similar to an Aztec statue with chameleon eyes. The eyes never stop moving, making it look cross-eyed.

The scariest thing was the absurd amount of black smoke emanating from the side of its mouth.

Yothaka and Thahan gasped.

"What the hell is this?!" Anne screamed.

The armored longneck's eyes stopped moving, locking onto them.

Slowly, the longneck moved at a snail's pace, making the carnivorous pair back up.

Yothaka saw how the longneck's eyes were fixed on Thahan, or rather, on whoever was with him.

Anne.

"Aaaarrrrrrr," an almost supernatural growl sounded from the armored longneck's throat.

"Rrrraaar... Arra, haaaarr..." Yothaka grunted and whispered to her mate. He retorted.

She screamed softly and continued speaking to her male. Anne was confused.

Thahan's eyes widened.

The female stopped in mid-stride as the male counted moving.

"Thahan..." Anne called, "Thahan, what are you doing?!"  She screamed softly, but the female didn't move.

The brachiosaurus snapped its teeth, making a similar "nacchere" sound. A grim smile spread across its face.

The glow of the fire and moonlight only made the scene worse.

"Aarrrr." Yothaka growled at his mate before roaring, "rrrraaaaaaaaarrrr!"

Thahan's pupils became thin. He turns and runs towards the river.

"Yothakaaaaaa!" Anne screamed.

Yothaka saw his cub and his mate with a smile. She turned to look at the monster.

The brachiosaurus's smile only widened unnaturally.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Yothaka became serious, while the armored brachiosaurus snapped its teeth even more intensely.

She raises her head to roar at her enemy. "Rroooooooaaarrrrrr!"

She advances, running, heedless of the creature's size. She has to give her cub and partner time to escape.

"Oooooooaaaarrrr!" Screaming, the brachiosaurus rises on two legs. The monster's throat glows orange and yellow. The smoke emanating from its mouth is soon fire.

And even seeing this, even knowing this could be the last time. Her last fight. Her last day in this world of good and evil.

She continues to advance.

In the darkness, with the fire lighting the way, Thahan ran between flaming trees.

And to make matters worse, the wind decided to pick up strength, making the fire advance even faster.

Anne uses her shirt as a makeshift mask to keep from splashing the ashes. The poor thing is crying profusely, hugging the dinosaur's head tightly.

Thahan purrs to try to calm her crying.

Thahan catches a glimpse of three fallen trees.

When the first one falls, he finds himself. He passes by the second one sideways. And with the third one, he leaps over it like a kangaroo, landing on his feet on the other side, continuing to run to his safe place. And he does all this with Anne hugging him even tighter.

He quickly brakes right next to the river. He looks at a tree, seeing claw marks on it. That's the place, but his face isn't one of relief, but of frustration.

The stone path his family used to cross the river for generations has sunk. And the icing on the cake: the waters are even more violent, dragging rocks and logs.

No, shit, No!

He screams in rage. The fire has blocked their path, leaving them on a small patch of land. Now the only way is through the treacherous waters or follow the river with the unstable Edge and fall in.

"Aaaarrrr!" Yothaka screams as she falls to the ground next to them, startling them. Shaking, she gets up, covered in bloody wounds, tooth marshes, and burns.

"Yothaka!" Anne jumps from the male's back to try to help the female to her feet.

I hope, where is the—

"Oooorrrr~."

Yothaka and Thahan growl, as Anne pulls out her spear, now tipped with stone, and holds it tightly.

Traumatized, the brachiosaurus emerges from the fire, with that shit-eating grin on its face. Its tattoos glow even brighter.

The psychotic long-necked creature licks its teeth with its black tongue.

The trio growls.

Anne jumps and clings to Thahan's side.

Having no other choice, they advance with a single roar.

The brachiosaurus's throat glows, and as if it were a dragon, it breathes fire.

"Ah! This thing breathes fire!?" Anne screamed. Thahan and his partner manage to get out of the way of the flames. The brachiosaurus then throws its neck toward the human, but Thahan swerves it by slamming its tail into its head.

The monster screams as Yothaka bites hard on the unprotected area of its arm. The brachiosaurus opens its teeth forcefully, swinging the female, causing her to fall to her feet next to the male. Only the male is there.

The monster tilts its head in confusion.

Where's the human? Suddenly, it feels a knock behind its helmet.

"Come on, come on! You have to have an opening or something!" Anne said, swinging her spear, hoping to pierce something. "Are you made of metal or something?!"

The helmet's hairy eyes rotate 380 degrees, focusing on the human. Anne stops her spear in midair when she sees the creature's black glass eyes.

"What part of the underworld did you come from?" The monster responded, shaking its neck like an eel out of water, trying to throw her away. Anne manages to wedge the spear in a gap between the black bricks.

The monster was so focused on her that it forgot about the two carnivores.

The pair of predators leaps and bites hard on both of the creature's elbows. The monster screams, rising on its two legs, still moving its neck. It swings its front paws, knocking them both to the ground.

With such movement, the spear broke in half, and Anne lost her balance and fell. The brachiosaurus lowered its paws, causing the ground to crack under its weight. It quickly caught the human with the tips of its teeth by the hem of her shirt, preventing her from falling backward a millimeter.

The girl stood with her arms and legs spread wide in the air, stunned. The monster smiled evilly, slowly raising her neck.

Yothaka bites the monster's neck, which manages to let go. Just as the brachiosaurus was about to lift its neck, Thahan bites the back of the human's shirt. They both pull, and the fabric rips, leaving the girl with half of her belly exposed.

Yothaka lets go of the monster's neck and goes to her partner's side.

Anne falls to the ground on her butt, letting out a groan of pain. The trio rolls to the side as they feel a great heat, avoiding being hit by a fireball.

Anne, away from the couple, watches as the brachiosaurus pulls its neck back like a heron.

Like a snake's strike, the monster lunges at Anne. The girl dodges in time and then plunges what's left of the spear right into the monster's rotting gums. Purple blood drips between her teeth.

The monster roars in pain.

"This is for hurting my friend!"  Anne screamed, immediately picking up a rock the size of a soccer ball. The girl twisted her body, throwing it, and then hurled it hard at one of her eyes. Anne was grateful that her muscles had grown a bit these past few months.

The lens of her right eye cracked. She definitely didn't like that. Her smile faded, replaced by a scowl. Angrily, the monster raised a paw, intending to crush her. But the girl was faster, and easily scaled it, running under its enormous body.

The monster tried to stretch its neck to reach her, but the carrion couple bit its neck at the same time.

With one movement, the 'brachiosaurus' threw them to the edge of the raging river. The couple slid to the ground, their skin grazed by the rocks.

"No!" Anne screamed in concern.

Fortunately, they managed to catch themselves halfway, avoiding falling into the water. Panting heavily, they struggled to their feet.

Anne sighs in concern, but is surprised by a kick from the brachiosaurus.

In the most pain she has ever felt in her life, the girl screams at the top of her lungs. She falls to the ground, bouncing before being grabbed by Yothaka. The predator tries to pull her to her feet, but the girl only screams even more in pain.

"Aaaahhrrr!" Anne grits her teeth. Her backpack may have been slightly damaged by the impact, but she can feel that at least some bones have been broken. Speaking of the backpack, it's now ripped, more torn than Anne's skin.

The brachiosaurus's eerie smile appears again, its body bare of a scar or bite. Slowly, it approaches the trio.

Anne... Anne has lost hope now.

The girl, instead of just crying, growls at the couple as a final challenge.

The monster makes a sound similar to an evil laugh. Its neck glows with intensity. It's going to breathe fire again.

It bent its neck to their level as it approached. The first flames emerged from the sides of its mouth, like a warning of what was to come.

Was this their end? The trio thought. Killed by a monster shaped like a long neck?

As the thing approached, Anne felt something fall from one of the holes in the backpack.

Anne stood there when she saw a purple ball similar to a candy with a label that read: pull for a very clean bath.

A bath bomb... She had forgotten she had bought it.

With difficulty and Thahan's help, she crouched down to pick it up.

Anne looked at the monster with its mouth open and then at the bath bomb. She looked at the bath bomb and then at the monster's mouth, and so she repeated until a firefly lit up in her head like a light bulb.

Anne sighed sadly before whispering, "I wanted to use this on a special occasion, especially when I'm with my family."  She glared at the damned long-necked creature. "But you know what? That doesn't matter, at least not right now." With difficulty, she pulled a racket from her backpack.

As the armored brachiosaurus was about to fire, the human screamed with hatred:

"So... Eat this shit! Son of a bitch!"

Anne used the bomb tag and with the racket threw it straight into the monster's mouth.

The monster reached its mouth and instinctively swallowed the strange object. The glow and its throat. Smoke escaped from its lips, while its cheek swelled.

Suddenly, a lilac and purple glow appeared on its throat and belly. The trio's eyes narrowed as they watched its belly and helmet's eyes swell like balloons.

The monster stood on two paws to try to stabilize its weight. Its neck stood incredibly straight, its head pointing to the sky.

Parts of its skin and armor were found, and bloody soap ran down its face like a faucet.

A beam of crimson soap shot from its mouth like a geyser. Its eyes and belly exploded from the pressure. The large herbivorous dinosaur's ribs were exposed, its guts, organs, and... Wires? Wires fell to the ground.

Blood sprayed onto the trio.

When the soap geyser reached the clouds, the monster stopped firing, falling dead on the ground at the trio's feet.

Blood fell like rain, painting the human and the dinosaurs red. And it's paying some of the price for the fire.

Anne, Yothaka, and Thahan blinked.

Yothaka licked the blood, spitting when she tasted the soap.

Thahan looked like he was having a war flashback. His left eye twitched, a strange, trembling smile appearing.

Anne sniffed the air, sighing with satisfaction at the scent. "Good lavender smell. The money I saved was really worth it." "Even with the blood, this thing still smells good!"

Anne shook her head. When did she start to become so desensitized to blood? Oh, right. It was when Thahan started taking me hunting.

Okay, enough thinking about that, let's get to the important part!  Anne looked at the corpse of the armored monster.

She observed the wires, a mechanical-looking organ among the creature's organs. Small particles of sparks flickered. Looking more closely, she realized this thing had rubbery skin, or so it seemed to her, along with real flesh.

This is artificial...

Her eyes widened.

This thing was some kind of cyborg or something! In her many months, or years, she still wasn't sure how long she'd been here. She'd seen all kinds of animals and dinosaurs, but one like this?

If a psychopathic cyborg robot dinosaur exists, it means there's technology in this world. Very advanced technology, apparently.

"Who was the lunatic who created you?" she asked to no one in particular, watching the blood drip from the corpse, its tongue hanging out.

Anne tilted her head, seeing a strange scar; it appeared to be a symbol drawn on the flesh of the monster's tongue.  It was three dots at the top and one dot at the bottom, all connected by lines.

The couple looked at the symbol curiously. Anne clenched her fists.

I think I know what I'm going to hunt after I find my best friends.

Crack.

The trio's eyes widened.

Crack.

Oh, shit.

The ground crumbled, quickly and violently absorbed by the water, along with everything on top of it—that is, the trio and the corpse.

They didn't even have a chance to escape.

Anne tried with all her might to dig herself out of the rushing river, but time and again it drowned her.

Yothaka tried to swim to her daughter, but she was suddenly submerged by the corpse's leg.

Thahan managed to spot Anne's silhouette from beneath the murky waters. Thahan spotted a log and quickly used it to propel himself to her.

Even in pain, he bites the human's collar and pulls her up. When they surface, Anne quickly gasps for air.

"Yothaka! Thahan, where is she?!" she asks as the carnivore tries not to sink. With her eye, she sees a split in the river into a large mass of earth, rocks, and trees.

They are swept to the right along with the corpse. Yothaka emerges on the left side. She screams for her mate and daughter.

On the other side, Anne can spot her among the trees.

"Yothaka!" Anne screams and points to her. The male tries to swim toward her, but the river is stronger.

The female screams in a reassuring roar, telling Thahan to ensure he and his daughter survive! That everything will be okay!

As she moves out of his sight, she roars, saying she will find them, no matter what!

"Aaaaarrrraaaarr! / I love you!"

Thahan let out a groan of pain.

Anne was about to scream, but was silenced when she saw a silhouette approaching from the corner of her eye.

A tsunami, with the corpse and several tree debris, descended upon them both.

And those were the last things she remembered before everything went black.

On the sandy shores of a small sandbar lie the bodies of Anne and Thahan. They are still breathing and in good condition. Well, almost in good condition. They are covered in wounds and cuts, but alive.

A huge shadow falls over the human's body. The Cyclops smiles.

I found you.

Gently, he grabs the human's torso. Just as he is about to leave, a groan makes him stop.

"Aaaáarrr... nnneee..." Thahan, still unconscious, growls. The Cyclops looks sympathetically at the smaller carnivore and walks away, disappearing into the shadows of the trees.

"Hey, someone's hurt here!"

Anne, half-conscious, heard someone scream. It sounded like a little girl's voice.

"Oh my—Polly, go get Grandpa!"

That sounded like a boy's voice. Maybe younger than me? She heard the girl back away as the boy approached.

"Her clothes, and that symbol on her shirt... Is she some kind of noble?" he asked in a whisper.

"Sprig!" shouted an old man's voice. "Oh my—so it was true?! I thought you were joking!"

"I told you it was true!" The little girl whimpered.

Anne felt the old man pick her up and lift her like a baby. "Wow! She's heavy."

Hey!

"What happened to her, Grandpa?" the younger boy asked with concern.

"If you have to guess, I'd say it was the ape-men," he replied.  Anne heard a faint note of hatred in his voice. "But those savages don't usually release their victims, especially if they're women." He growled at that last part.

"You think it was the soldiers from... the tower. And... And what they did... You know... to her?"

"Did they do to her?" The little girl asked with a hint of innocence.

"No... This is wild, Hmmmm..."

"It could have been a flying dragon!" the little girl suggested.

"It's possible. Okay, let's get her inside." The old man moved with the girl in his arms. "Let's help her, and then we'll ask her. Is she still able to talk..." He whispered that last part.

Author: Wow! I wrote a lot, didn't I? Hehe, I'm sure I translated a lot of things I wrote wrong or simply translated something I wrote wrong 😅.

Just as a heads up, I think I wasn't very accurate when it came to describing the animals' appearances.

Myself, for those of you who are already my readers, you already know I'm not very good at describing the characters' appearances... To tell you the truth, I'm not even good at writing, but I'm trying!

You're trying really hard, only if it's for @$#@! It's better if you use an artificial intelligence to help translate and correct your mistakes, because this is shit!

Shut up!

Shut me up!

Anyway... Oh right, a lot of things here are being described from Anne's perspective and knowledge of dinosaurs, which in this case is very little. And also from the perspective of the animals themselves.

So even though I'm better at describing their appearance, Anne will still use certain references to try to describe the dinosaurs from her perspective.

And I'll try, if I continue this story, to increasingly blend the humor and violence of both series more carefully.

There are a lot of things I think I did right and wrong in this first chapter, but I'm sure that if it's not me, someone else can use this as a basis, or simply use this first chapter to continue their own version.

Just another warning: the violence and tone of the stories I've written depend solely on the mix of series/mangas/comics and films I use for the crossovers. Generally, I've tried to create harmony in the fanfic.

I prefer worldbuilding! I find it fun and more interesting.

So, it will be rare to have a fanfic of mine where a character from another series ends up in another series, or something like that.

I might have some chapters featuring AUS and OCs, which will also be for public use, as well as the chapter or concept of this story. There's no way to stop anyone from using it.

Well, things like violence, gore, R-rated content, and basically anything of the sort will only be used if I think it fits the story's theme; otherwise, I'll try to avoid it. At the very least, they'll only be mentioned or hinted at, either subtly or very explicitly.

Things discarded from this first chapter:

In the fight against the crazy brachiosaurus, I planned for Anne to use the power of calamity to summon dinosaurs for help. It was discarded because it was a last-minute idea.

Sasha and Grime were going to appear in a sort of post-credits scene.

Cyclops was going to fight the crazy brachiosaurus; it was discarded because I didn't think it was time to show the guy in full.

The trio of pterosaurs were going to be the color of the crystals in the calamity box. It was another last-minute idea.

There was going to be a scene of King Andrias seeing everything through the other brachiosaurus, but it was discarded due to some changes during production.

And originally, the Brachiosaurus was supposed to be a giant fire creature, like the Viking villain from Primal. The idea was scrapped because I thought it was too early to introduce such a powerful creature right away.

The dinosaurs were supposed to talk to Anne. It was scrapped because I wanted to try to keep the story as silent as possible so it would be somewhat similar to Primal.

Species that appear in this chapter, in case you're curious:

(1) Ornithomimus
(2) Siamraptor suwati
(3) Compsognathus
(4) Dimorphodons
(5) Diabloceratops
(6) Carcharodontosaurus
(7) Koolasuchus
(8) Diplodocus

The Brachiosaurus isn't 100% a dinosaur; in fact, it's not even a Brachiosaurus. I won't give much information about it.

What is your opinion about this chapter?

RPG, Cryptids & Strange Things!, Pilot Chapter: The Bugbear.

Fear... that's all Will feels as he runs through an unknown landscape.

He hides behind a tree. The creature's footsteps are heavy; it's close. He closes his eyes and cries. He hears the trunk being scratched. He hears the monster's breathing; it's right in his face.

It was his end; he didn't even get to say goodbye. There, in this strange world, will be his tomb... or so he thought.

The monster cuts the wood, but is confused. Where is its prey? The monster, a humanoid creature two meters tall, without eyes, with long legs and arms, searches for its target.

The monster roars in frustration at not finding it; a strange way confuses it, preventing it from locating its prey.

Will, at the top of the tree, sees the monster. He sighs... or rather, he would have if a hand hadn't been covering his mouth!  The boy can't see who's holding him, but he knows he's hairy because he sees a bit of his arm.

This guy needs a waxing.

Will groans as whoever is holding him jumps from the tree, falling to the ground. The boy rolled on the ground when he was released from his arms. He gets up and turns to thank and complain about falling to the ground, but is paralyzed when he sees his savior.

It's a mix of man and gorilla with reddish fur; he can see some lines drawn under his eye that go down to the man-gorilla's chest. He's taller than Will, but perhaps shorter than the monster. Curiously, he had a kind of leather pouch with a strap-like detail on his left shoulder.

It looked like a Bugbear... funny coincidence.

Logically, Will wanted to scream and run, but the fact that the man-gorilla, or Bugbear, raised his hands in a sign of non-aggression made Will not run away.

The man-gorilla opens his mouth and...

"I won't hurt... I don't hurt humans."  "He spoke... "You spoke...?" Will asked, if he really was asking, Bugbear nodded in confirmation...

Will fell on his backside, without taking his eyes off Bugbear. Bugbear, on the other hand, just sat down, his honey-colored eyes observing the human, not with bad intentions, but with concern.

The two remained there, sitting on the ground of a dark forest under skies of black and red clouds, the least safe place to be processing what he was seeing. A thousand thoughts raced through Will's head, what is happening?! What place is this, and why is there a Bugbear here?! Or is it a Bigfoot?... Fuck what it is! I'm in some hellish place possibly infested with creatures wanting to kill me and—!

"Sun."

"Huh?" Will snapped out of his thoughts. The gorilla-man was pointing to himself.

"I... am... Sun," he said with difficulty, pointing to himself before pointing to Will.

Is he asking me to say my name?

"W-will..."

"Willl... beautiful name," he complimented.

"Thank you... I guess...?"

The gorilla-man smiled, showing his teeth; it would have been comforting for the boy if it weren't for his four enormous, yellowish canine teeth. Sol seemed to have noticed Will's discomfort; he swallowed the taste, closing his mouth.

Again, the two fell silent.

The boy swallowed before asking anything.

"Why did you save me?" His question made Sol turn to him. The gorilla-man tilted his head in confusion; it was as if such a question was strange to him.

"Human needing help, and Sol helping human," he replied with a smile, but this time without showing his teeth.

His way of speaking seemed so... um... simple?

Before he could ask anything else, a roar made them both jump off the ground. They both looked around, expecting an attack. But nothing happened.

"Sol needs to take human to a safe place..." Before Will could say anything, he found himself in Sol's arms, who placed him on his back like a baby monkey. Will wanted to let go.  "Bigger monsters might be coming."

Bigger monsters?!

Again the same roar echoes, it's close, right... above them! The two look at the sky. At first nothing comes, but a red ray illuminates a serpentine silhouette with two enormous wings flying among the clouds.

"We have to get out of here," Will murmurs. Sol nods in agreement.

"Will, do you know a good place to hide?" Bigfoot asks.

The boy thought and thought until a small shelter made of branches and other things came to mind.

"I think I know where we can stay."

Over the past few days, Will and Sol had been running all over Upside Down Hawkins looking for a way out, always hiding from the monster, and on rare occasions from other monsters, returning to Castle Byers to rest.

Bigfoot and the humans shared a little of their lives in the last few days.

Will recounted how he was riding his bicycle when the monster appeared and followed him to the place where he met him.

And Sol recounted, in the form of drawings on the ground, how he and his tribe lived hidden in the forest and that one day his mother smelled a strange odor while they were walking with him. Sol saw a monster of the same species emerge from a tree and kidnap his mother, and how Sol followed it to that place, but it was too late; his mother was killed by the monster and others resembling dogs. Sol tried to fight, he really tried, but he was overwhelmed. He tried to escape, but the portal he entered through was no longer in the tree.

Luckily, he managed to escape the creatures, and two days later he met Will.

It's good not to be alone in this place, even if your company is a mythical monster. In fact, it was even better since Sol helped him reach and open places to collect resources for survival, like the weapon he acquired.

Together they managed to fight the small monsters that crossed their path, but there were always the large ones and, of course, those giant flying ones. It was impossible for them to kill them.

During their stay in this strange world, they saw all sorts of things, like a ghost girl who vanished into thin air, strange shadows moving in the forest, voices, other types of creatures, and the corpses of other humans.

And the strange tremor that seems to have an interval of days, always accompanied by a loud roar.

They both made an agreement not to think too much about the possibility of a giant monster existing.

Let's talk about good things, like... Will discovering he could talk to his mother through the lights! Ampos were very happy about this, but obviously they couldn't last long as the monster found them, forcing them to flee.

This, however, didn't stop them from returning to try again, over and over again.

Will was able to talk to his mother, and Sol was happy about that.

Of course, Will didn't say anything about Sol at his request.

Sometimes, while walking, they would encounter the monster trying to claim another human or Bigfoot victim, and they always managed to distract it. Many times they missed the chance to escape just to save someone.

He and Sol didn't mind; they were happy that no one shared a fate worse than just being trapped in that place.

Besides, the air is already starting to think about us, especially Bigfoot.

They were lucky to escape the monster's clutches.

But they knew that one day their luck would run out... and it did.

Bang!

A monster dog fell dead to the ground while Will reloaded his weapon atop a Bigfoot running on all fours.

Sol dodged a paw from another monster dog, punching it. The dogs jumped over their fallen siblings.

Between coughs, Sol asked, "Are those evil dogs still on our tail?"

Will glanced back, a large monster roared, joining the dogs.

"Huh... just run faster!"

Sol frowned, and with a roar, he leaped, grabbing onto tree branches. He jumped from branch to branch with Will holding onto his back firmly.

The monsters quickly quickened their pace.

Unfortunately, the gorilla was faster.

Sol looked back with a mischievous grin, watching the monsters eat dust. Will shouted in victory.

"Annoying boys."

"Huh?" Sol and Will looked around. "Will heard a strange voice too?" Sol asked.  "The boy nods," "Where did that come from? It sounded like an old man's voice..."

Before Sol could comment, a clawed hand grabs his face.

Will screamed as they both fell. The boy rolled on the ground, narrowly escaping injury.

His friend's screams make him turn around, seeing that Bigfoot was trying to break free from the strong grip of a huge, thin, black creature with wide limbs and two tentacles on its head. The four blue eyes don't even bother to look at the primate, staring directly at the boy. For some reason, it seemed that some kind of black vapor was leaking from the creature's skin like sand in the wind.

Its lack of a mouth doesn't help what it's doing, but its eyes demonstrate an intelligence, equal to Bigfoot's.

Maybe... maybe there's room for negotiation...

Sol screams as the creature squeezes his head tightly.

The boy snaps out of his reverie, raising his arms, "Please stop! Don't hurt him!"

The creature stops squeezing.  "That thing... Will squinted... it's intelligent!"

"Rrrrr..."

"Crap... they are..."

The dog monsters and the large monster emerged from among the trees, surrounding them on all sides.

Will quickly stood up, but the monsters didn't move, they just stood there, observing even without eyes.

"'What's happening, you must be thinking?'"

"Ah!" Will looked around searching for the voice, before returning to the creature. "That voice... it's you, isn't it?"

A look of amusement appeared on the creature's face, shaking its head in denial.

"'No, it doesn't speak...'"

"Who are you?! What do you want?!"

An explosion of dark energy surged into the air from which another similar creature emerged, landing on its feet beside the first. The creature shifted to make room for... it.

A monstrous man, with a skull-like face, his skin appearing rotten or burned, slightly shorter than the two black creatures, wearing something similar to a wizard's robe, only made of flesh.

The "wizard" made a gesture with his hands, leaving Will confused before becoming terrified as he felt an invisible force rip his weapon from his hand, falling amidst the monsters.

What was that? That... that was magic? Real magic! It has to be something else... magic isn't real! It's just RPG stuff, it can't be—

A clap of hands brought him back to reality... my... you met a Bigfoot while trapped in a strange place, how can that be reality?!

"What a surprise, a primate and a human together," a gentle smile appeared on the "wizard's" face. "It pleases me to see such an... unusual friendship." He turned to the creature that had Bigfoot in its claws. "Release the boy, please."

As ordered, the creature released him. Sol fell to the ground panting before jumping in front of Will in a defensive stance. This seemed to excite the sorcerer.

"Look, look... you really do have a strong friendship. Don't worry, I'll help you—"

"You smell bad..."

"Huh?"

"Sol..."

The Bigfoot growled, its fur standing on end, "Corpse man smells like something bad... something very bad."

The sorcerer laughed with amusement, "Oh! Don't worry about that! I just forgot to put on perfume, it's nothing serious." Will frowned and Sol continued to growl. The smile vanished from the Corpse Man's face, "If you smell it, it's not working... well, I tried." He raised a hand.

An invisible force grabbed them both, making them float, an overwhelming force squeezing their bodies, causing them to scream.

"Corpse man... let go... Will!" The Bigfoot pleaded.

"Don't worry, boy," a toothy grin appeared, he licked his lips. "You two will be very useful in creating the new world..."

A huge shadow appeared, eclipsing everyone.

"Our new world."

Chapter Text

Tribal-punk, Pilot Chapter: zero.

Author's note: Baldy, it could have been better! If I write the official chapter, I hope to write better. This is a really long chapter and I still have to improve.

Attention: much of the information you will see may or will be discarded if I write the story. I only share the information in case someone wants to use it in a fanfic.

For a long time, there was only emptiness, until the light came.

No one knows how it happened, but what was once only darkness gave rise to a green light. A being beyond understanding was born on that day from that light, the Green Lady.

The Green Lady, as soon as she was born, was for a time the only luminous thing in the entire universe, however... it didn't take long for her to become blind.

Whether by assistant or not, when the Green Lady sighed, she spat out a ball of lava, iron, and metal. The Green Lady realized that it was somehow alive, so she began to work. Molding the metal and cooling the lava, discarding pieces, she shaped the form in the palms of her hands, and then Hephaestus was born.

A giant in metal armor, an iron mask, a lava core, and eyes and mouths of fire.

Hephaestus, as if giving thanks for being alive, created an anvil and a hammer. Using the parts discarded by the Green Lady, he began to hammer, generating sparks, each blow creating a star in the universe.

After many hammer blows, he created the moon and the sun, and the Gods as gifts. The Green Lady was overjoyed, acting like any mother smiling upon seeing the gift from her firstborn.

Seeing this, Hephaestus began to create more and more planets to please his mother.

For a time, both were happy in the universe, until, after millennia of being awake, the Green Lady felt sleepy, so she fell asleep.

Hephaestus watched as the Green Lady transformed into a planet, our home, Earth. And I imagine Hephaestus must have been traumatized seeing his mother become a planet of land and water, because imagine one day you're fine with your mother and the next she turns into a planet!  Hephaestus then descended to the surface of the planet and marveled at the sight of the trees, oceans, and rivers, but there was a problem... it was empty.

So I think a lightbulb went off in the head of the lord of strength, because he must have thought: if my mother created me, then I can create life too! He created what we now call cauldrons, the nurseries of life.

Inside, he created the children of the forge, the Cyclopes, one-eyed giants, our older brothers.

Then he created us, the drones, alongside humans as equals, even though the drones were stronger, but intelligent and—well, I'm getting off topic.

Hephaestus created and created, more and more machines and animals.

The world filled with life that only evolved in an era of peace and knowledge. Kingdoms with magic and technology beyond comprehension rose above the clouds; it was a marvel.

Until he appeared... a human, an arrogant king who always claimed to be the best blacksmith of all. He challenged Hephaestus countless times, nine hundred and ninety to be exact, and always lost in the process.

Until one day, filled with rage and hatred, he created something that would condemn the entire world for its arrogance.

He created what is known as... the iron demon, a life forged from fire, rage, death, and the blood of innocents.

The king's voice echoed in the heavens; he believed his profane creation was proof that he was a God of the forge, superior even to Hephaestus. And of course, he wanted to take it to rub his victory in the face of the Allfather. What he didn't count on was that the thing he created would kill him without mercy.

The demon, with its blood, created other demons and titans that rivaled the children of the forge in height and strength. These creatures then began to devour everything in their path, starting with the kingdom of their creator. Nothing was spared, organic or metallic; everything was consumed. Then they began to do the same to a world.

And so, the war began.  Eight hundred years of pure violence ensued; kingdoms were destroyed, mountains turned to rubble, the grass turned black and red with spilled blood. Magical and technological knowledge was lost, but in the end, Hephaestus managed to banish the demon and what remained of his army to the stars.

Before being expelled, the demon promised Hephaestus that one day he would return with his army to consume and destroy the Green Lady along with all life.

Since then, Hephaestus has only waited patiently, sleeping inside a mountain, for the return of his enemies.

"But it seems the sleep is rather heavy because the demons arrived a few years ago in the form of murder drones!" exclaimed Uzi, pointing to a mural depicting the story he told inside his wooden and stone room, but specifically to the drawing of a murder drone amidst giant shadows with red Xs on their faces, alongside arachnid forms with long tails and colossi with wide tentacles.

"And what do we do? We hide at night like cockroaches while the Cyclopes fight relentlessly for us!"

The little Watcher, lying on her bed, lets out a buzzing sound while wagging her tail.

"Exactly, it's unfair! My father doesn't want to fight... he and the others just hope that the gates and Nicholas and Nikos will protect them." She lets out a low sigh before smiling at the Watcher. She places her finger on the side of her head, activating her Focus. "But thanks to this old-world beauty and my intelligence, I built a perfect weapon for this job!"

The machine tilts as she pulls a long, green-glowing object from under some blankets.

"I call it Railgun! A magnetically amplified photon convergent, this baby will help us win when the metal demon returns!... well, that's the theory since it hasn't been tested," she says, aiming the weapon at her machine. "Want to be my test dummy, Bubo?"  She asked jokingly.

"Beep!" She made a firing sound and the machine pretended to be dead. Uzi laughed, "Silly girl. I just need one more part for this thing to be at maximum power! And I know where to find it, but there's a small problem..."

A large, robust humanoid machine watches the sun set with its single eye. It wore white armor with black synthetic muscles, round feet, and a horn with a blue dot.

On the ground beside it lay a long-handled hammer. Several runes and engravings were carved into the metal.

Another, slightly smaller giant with numerous scars stood beside it, using a hammer for support, gazing out at the snow-covered forest. On his back was a double-barreled cannon/rifle strapped to it by a leather belt and parts of wild machines.

The Cyclopes, the guardians of the city, Nicholas and Nikos

"Shouldn't you be preparing to enter the shelter?" asked Nicholas, the larger Cyclops, without even looking at the drone.

Khan in the fur coat chuckled slightly, "I just wanted to see how you lads are doing." He looked up, observing the darkening sky and the appearing stars.  "It looks like it'll be a beautiful night tonight."

"Listen to the farmers murmuring that Uzi blew up a forge..." the younger Cyclops muttered.

Nikos murmured between grunts.

"Did it explode? That room will have to be rebuilt... again, I have no idea how nobody died. Do you believe she managed to make a magnetic weapon?"

"Hephaestus really blessed us."

Nikos rolled his one eye, "If you say so, old man."

"I'm not old! I'm ninety years old, I'm a young Cyclops." He grumbled.

"Well, I hope you have a good night, lads. I'm going now." Khan bid farewell, leaving the giants alone.

"Let's go hunting then, we have a nest to destroy." Nikos was leaving, but Nicholas placed his hand on his chest.

"I need you to stay here," the young (old) cyclops's eye landed on a pillar of smoke within the forest. "Someone's here." He whistled, and two ravagers emerged from behind a house.

"Do you think it's a trap?" Nikos asked.

"No... that's not like them. And knowing the male, they probably would have blown something up."

"Come on, Dad, we live near the border. They must be travelers then."

His father remained silent, his eyes fixed on the forest. "Stay here." He repeated, walking away, but he stopped halfway, looking over his shoulder. "I love you. You know that, right?"

His son, years ago, was just a scared little egg, and now he's a giant, somewhat disrespectful to his elders.

His son rolled his eyes in amusement, "I love you too, old tin can."

Nicholas laughed, entering the forest and disappearing from sight with the ravagers.

Uzi and Bubo walked through the shelter's corridors, passing several rooms with drones performing tasks or rooms that functioned as barns for domestic machines like striders and broadheads.

This whole place was once a shelter for the ancients, resistant enough to last for ages, and yet it didn't stop them from killing them.

Of course, they had to dispose of the bodies of the humans who lived here, with a proper burial, obviously; we're not savages.

Bubo peeked into one of the rooms where female drones in shamanic attire with broadhead horns as tiaras were telling stories about cyclopes fighting against the metal demon monsters.

Uzi moved forward to pass unnoticed by them to avoid another spiritual session, but mainly to avoid having another conversation about... more personal things, if you understand?

She passed more murals with drawings of demons and cyclopes fighting, with others of her father and... aaahhh... Her doors.

Her father, he's known as a great blacksmith capable of creating doors as strong as the cauldron portals, the doors that now protect them and have made them lazy.

If I told you we were once a village of warrior blacksmiths, would you believe me? Now they only play forging and strategy and drink alcohol as if they've won a victory over monsters.

Flirting with some buttons, the door opens. Uzi and Bubo jump back in surprise when they see the khan already with a frowning face.

"Where are you going, young lady?" he asks. "Shouldn't you be with the shamans?"

Teardrops appear on her screen, searching for something to escape, "The professor measured me to—ah! Study things that interest you, and I decided to study our biggest door! That's it! And of great interest to me, you know?"

Khan raises his digital eyebrow, "You, interested in... doors?"  His gaze hardened, becoming so sharp that the Watcher trembled with fear, thinking she would be cut, but it was replaced by surprise when she saw a smile appear on the older drone's lips.

"Hahaha, thanks to the Allfather! Hey everyone!" Another door behind him opened, revealing drones with spears at their feet, playing a board game, and larger Watchers sleeping beside them. "My daughter has an interest in portals!"

"Cool!"

"Thanks to Hephaestus!"

"Seriously? Wonderful!"

"Finally!"

They cheered, making Uzi roll her eyes. Bunch of lazy cowards...

"Alright everyone, that's enough," he said to calm the commotion as he led his daughter to the main door.

With a click, she opened it, revealing the old village covered in snow. Uzi was almost out when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Khan smiled at her proudly, placing a screwdriver in her hand.

"Your great-grandmother passed this on to your grandfather who passed it on to me, and now I'm giving it to you." Uzi looked awkwardly at him before nodding with a forced smile. "I used it when I built my first cannon and... to end your mother's agony when those demons— anyway!" They gently pushed her until she passed through the door.

"Anything, just yell and Nikos will help you! I love you!" And with that, he closed the door. "I'm so proud."

Unbeknownst to him, on the other side of the door, Uzi and Bubo were dancing in celebration.

"Hey boss, are you sure you want to leave her out there?" One of the drones asked without taking his eyes off the board. "You know, those things are still there."

"As long as those two are watching the village, everything's fine. Besides, they managed to kill an Ordo, remember? They won't try anything today."

Even for a giant like Nicholas, his steps were silent thanks to the pads on his feet. This prevented him from being detected to a certain extent. Of course, those little devils and machines with good sensors are an exception.

A light among the tree trunks caught his attention; his eye shifted from blue to yellow. Obviously, it was a bonfire. The bigger question was: who was there? And were they dangerous? Were they mercenaries? Slave traders? Just people passing through?

The giant and his ravagers crouched among the trees to get closer to investigate.

There, seated facing the bonfire, but with its back to him, was what, judging by its height, appeared to be a human wearing a black cloak with a black metal shoulder pad.

But the human wasn't alone, no, but his company wasn't what the Cyclops would call normal.

A murder drone stood beside the human, wearing nothing but a torn black loincloth and metal chains around its neck.  Parts of his body were painted black, bearing symbols of a curve with a red line through the middle in various places. The strange thing was the red color of the X on his visor.

"It seems our guest has arrived," said the human's voice; it was masculine, meaning it was a male. The murder drone swooped down on the human, his voice trembling like a savage machine, as the man stood up, turning so the cyclops could see him.

It was indeed a human, wearing dark red and black fur clothing, for some reason sleeveless to leave his strong arms exposed, and a white mask with six holes bearing the same curve and line symbol.

"Hello sir, my dear sir," greeted the masked figure.

If Nicholas had eyebrows, he would have raised them. The masked figure's tone didn't seem to hide fear, even when facing a humanoid that could be as tall as a thunderjaw with its neck raised.

Cyclopes generally intimidate any human or drone with their size without even needing to fight; only the most savage machines, murder drones, and glory-seeking hunters have the courage to attempt a fight. Especially when the cyclopes are accompanied by other machines.

However, the man in front of him is unarmed, having only a murder drone as possible protection. That's another question: why is this murder drone with a human?

The giant rises, signaling the ravagers to be alert. The human and the cyclops stood there looking at each other.

The human decides to get straight to the point, "You must be wondering how I, a human, can be at ease with this killing machine?" He points to the murder drone. "My master, the Black Sun, has the power to subdue these things."

Nicholas's expression didn't change, but he was a little surprised.

The masked man continues, "My master sent me here to recruit your village to our cause. What do you say, oh noble giant?" He extends his hand.

"No," Nicholas replied curtly, raising his hammer. "Go away, now." His voice rose in tone.

The man raised his arms in a defensive gesture. "Cauma, my noble giant, I can't leave empty-handed."

"I said no!" Nicholas shouted, startling the murder drone and its ravagers, but not the human.

The masked man sighed, "Sorry, but the black sun wants your village... besides, there's something here that belongs to him."

"There's nothing here for your master..."

"Hmmm... noooo, there is something here." The masked man said, snapping his fingers. Several red Xs appeared in the darkness of the forest. "Tell me... the daughters of Nori and Yeva are here, right?" His voice distorted into a cold, metallic tone, as if something were speaking in his place.

The giant gripped the hammer handle; the human laughed, noticing this.

"Ah, so I've come to the right place..." the bonfire flames died down.

"You'll have to get past me first..."

"Oh, I don't stand a chance," A red light appeared behind the man along with a giant figure emerging from the darkness. "But I have a challenger."

The cyclops opened his single eye in horror. From the darkness another cyclops emerged, only this one had strange black and red caps protruding from its neck with particles flying around. It shares the same symbols and paintings as the murder drone with words praising Hephaestus. Its mask is open, showing its mouth full of sharp teeth in an expression of fury. With a serrated, oil-stained axe in its hands.

"What in the name of the Allfather is this?" Nicholas asked. His eye returned to its blue hue.

"Glorious be the black sun." Was the masked figure's reply, stepping out of the corrupted cyclops's path.

Nicholas's mask snapped open, revealing his teeth in a fit of rage, his eye turning red. He walked towards the other giant with his hammer raised.

The corrupted one raised his axe as he began to quicken his pace.

What had been passed by, they saw a rush as both cyclopes swung over their target with their weapons above their heads and then...

Tooom!

A shockwave made the trees bend as the weapons clashed.

The masked man watched with pleasure, he made a sign to something in the darkness that was moving in one direction.

Our city was once a village of warrior blacksmiths, producing weapons for Cyclopes and other tribes, until we became isolated because of the murder drones. Wooden houses with plumbing systems, statues with water fountains, and other wonders based on the old world or using reverse engineering.

Like my father's gates.

Other tribes would disapprove of us (and do disapprove) for trying to study or even enter the ruins. Well, entering the ruins isn't forbidden, but it's very dangerous, especially if you don't know who or what is using it as a home, even more so nowadays with the murder drones flying around.

Fun fact: Did you know they sleep during the day? That's kind of our only advantage, besides extreme temperatures and the destruction of their core. Cyclopes are very good at that.

But unfortunately for us, these little monsters know how to hide, always changing hiding places.

Uzi sighed as she observed her mother's drawings, the city lunatic who was right in the end.

If everyone had listened to you, maybe we would be fighting them together?

Uzi frowned. And I wouldn't have a bunch of old witches trying to awaken some magical blessing from Hephaestus inside me or something like that.

Uzi doesn't believe in magic, but she believes that every legend has a grain of truth, like the war. There's plenty of evidence that the war happened; the ruins, the bodies of humans and machines are clear examples of that.

Her mother might have had some kind of ancient world technology in her head; after all, she predicted the arrival of the murder drones.

With one last peek into her parents' old room, she leaves the old house with a backpack on her back and closes the door. Bubo is already waiting for her.

"Okay, it won't take long to get out of town; we just have to... get past Nikos and Uncle Nicholas. It'll be easy."  And as if by fate, just as she was about to leave, a hammer stood in her way. "Bite me!"

"Where are you going, Lilac?" Nikos's voice was impatient. "Going to mess things up again?"

Uzi and Bubo stepped back nervously. "Nikos, hi! How's life! Where's Uncle?"

The young giant crouched down to look her straight in the eyes. "Don't change the subject...Lilac." He placed a finger on her chest. "I know you're planning something, something that will end in disaster, like everything does. We have responsibilities, Lilac."

Uzi slapped Nikos's finger away. "Bite me! Stop calling me that! We're not children anymore. And not everything I do ends in disaster!"

"Lizzy's hair wouldn't get cut with that..."

"That was two months ago! You're still angry about your girlfriend's hair. Just so you know, she deserved it."

"The incident with the behemoth. And she's not my girlfriend."

"Hey, that behemoth knew what she was doing when she ate my task and—she's not your girlfriend?"

"No... Uzi, whatever you're going to do, don't do it." He pleaded in an almost pleading tone. "Lilac, you're the future chief of the tribe and I'm its guardian. We're committed." Uzi groaned in disgust. "Not in that stupid way. We have to be responsible, after all, many lives depend on us. So go back to your tasks and I'll go back to mine."

Uzi rolled her eyes, she was about to say something when she heard a strange, metallic sound. "Excuse me. Are you hearing that?"

Nikos turned his one eye to the forest. "Uzi, you need— and— she's already gone." That's what he said when he saw where she and the Watcher were. "How can she be so fast with such short legs?"

Again the metallic sound echoed, making Nikos turn his gaze to the darkness of the trees. Several red dots emerged from the forest, their brightness only increasing as he approached.

From among the trees emerged three arachnid machines with four long limbs, a long tail like a scorpion's. On each side of their bodies was a round thing with holes and another was a rectangular missile launcher.

Slowly Nikos picked up his cannon/shotgun, "Demons..." he murmured, aiming at the approaching machines. "You're uglier than us drawings."

A large group of humans armed with spears, bows, and heavy weapons emerged from the forest behind the demons, leaving the cyclops confused.

And just to be the cherry on top of the madness, two corrupted cyclopes with axes and a group of murder drones.

This is not a sign.

"We've arrived," Uzi said to herself internally. She smiled confidently at the cave entrance, contrasting with Bubo's nervousness.

"Let's go!" Uzi said excitedly, entering what was possibly the most dangerous place in the region. A nest of murder drones.

The two entered the cave, the Watcher illuminating the way. Bubo shuddered as she passed the half-devoured bodies of various machines.

The Watcher beeped, a sound that could be interpreted as a groan of disgust upon seeing the head of an adult Watcher.

From the walls to the hole in the ceiling, everything was covered in body parts. At the center of it all was a strange three-legged object, a capsule from which the demons had emerged. But what interested Uzi was a kind of magnetic battery from the young behemoths that her Focus had just located.

Something similar to a lamp or an electric insecticide.

"That's it!"  "Victoria Uzi," she turns to Bubo. "See this? It's a step towards our victory. Now help me here." She starts tinkering and gives her weapon a final whack, even using the screwdriver. She smiles maniacally at her work, raising her railgun as if it were an enchanted sword, with Bubo lying at her feet to illuminate it, giving it a more mystical air.

The weapon glows blue. "I give you the title of: Sick as hell Railgun!" she shouts proudly before caressing the object with her cheeks. "My beautiful baby is finally ready!" Unfortunately, her caresses had to be interrupted when they heard the sound of something coming from the hole in the ceiling. Quickly, they hid behind a pile of bodies.

Pow!

Great, something entered the cave. The sound of chewing echoes through the cave; someone is eating.

Looking over the bodies, Uzi sees for the first time in years a murder drone, a male in strange clothes and a hat.

He is drinking oil from the severed head of a strider. Seeming satisfied, he throws the head away, hitting Bubo and causing the machine to beep.

This alerted the celestial demon, who turned quickly, showing a grin full of sharp teeth along with the yellow X on its visor.

They quickly lowered their heads. The creature tilts its head before flying away.

Uzi sighs as she hears the sound of the drone flying away. She sat up relieved until she felt something drip onto her hood. She reached down, picking up a bit to see better. It was white with a little black and thick; thanks to Hephaestus, her focus confirmed it was saliva.

"Wait, saliva?" Her answer came in the most terrifying way possible as she heard something fall onto the pile of bodies.  Bobu and Uzi turned slowly only to see the yellow X of the murder drone crouching with its wings spread, grinning at them. "Bite me!"

She screamed, the two dodging in time with a jump as the murder drone used its hand, transformed into a chainsaw, to cut.

Uzi ran but was grabbed by the murder drone's tail, which pulled her towards it with its grin. It grabbed her by the shoulders, opening its mouth to bite her head, but was stopped by a tail strike from Bobu. Uzi fell to the ground as the disassembly drone transformed its hand into a machine gun to shoot the Watcher who was running for her life.

Taking advantage, Uzi aimed the Railgun at the demon's head, unfortunately to her surprise her target seemed to have perceived her intention because its syringe-tail flew directly towards her. Uzi screamed as her palm was pierced, making her drop her weapon. The acid opened a hole in the center of her hand.

The dismantling drone leaps on top of her, its claws ready to tear her apart. Bubo runs with all her might, using her body to pull the angel of death off her owner. The two roll on the ground.

The killing machine rises, holding the Watcher by the neck. A bright light makes it tilt its head; the light comes from Bubo's visor, which she uses to unleash a blinding flash.

"Aaaaaarrrrrr!" The creature screams, its hands on the lens, throwing it away.

It was time. Even in pain, Uzi grabbed her railgun and aimed. She pulls the trigger. The weapon glows a bright green. "Say hello to the metal demon for me, you son of a bit—!"

Pow! A beam of energy shot out of the weapon. Everything went white for a moment.

The railgun flashed red with the message: discharged.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the charred neck of the headless machine fall to the ground.

"That's it!" She exclaimed, before clutching her hand in pain. "Urgh! It was worth it!"

A sound of rustling snow made her turn to Bubo, thinking she was the source of the noise. Bubo took several steps back, and Uzi followed her gaze. Her eyes widened as she watched the corpse turn and stand upright.

The head regenerated through a liquid metal along with the hat, and an error message appeared on her visor while she remained still.

Bubo quickly ran to hide behind her owner's legs.

Throwing her discharged weapon aside, Uzi quickly grabbed any piece from the ground and smashed it right in the face.

The message disappeared, replaced by two yellowish oval spheres. The murder drone adjusted its strange little hat, it smiled awkwardly and... strangely cute.

"Uh, did you kick me?"

"Damn, you talk?" Uzi lowered its leg. Bubo fainted on the ground.

"Yeah, sorry. My head hurts." The murder drone laughed awkwardly, "Hey! I don't recognize you. Are you new to the squad?" It lay down to analyze her, but its sensors only saw a small black silhouette.

"I've never seen a disassembly drone so... small." It narrowed its eyes, making Uzi nervous, before smiling. "I'm serial assignment number 1!"  "He introduced himself." "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the leader of the squad in this area. No, that's not right, everyone says I'm useless and a waste of parts." His tail straightened like a Watcher's head as he realized what he'd said. "Oh no, I shouldn't say things like that! Biscuit... well, honesty is the best policy. I barely remember the last three hours of my life, but everything will be alright."

All was silent between the two.

Bubo (who had just woken up) and Uzi looked at each other before nodding.

"Hah, then I'll... leave..." she walked a little before feeling a burning pain, the hole in the center of her hand felt like it was burning like fire.

"Ouch, you punctured yourself? Put it in your mouth. Our saliva neutralizes the neno-bots. Otherwise, I'd be killing myself all the time," N explained, holding her tail that wouldn't stop twitching before the puncture wound.

Uzi and Bubo spin around. "When you say 'our saliva,' you mean—"

"A drone disassembly." They spoke at the same time.

"Cool..." says Uzi. "Hey, let's go inside that thing." She points to the capsule.

"You mean the spacecraft."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Sure, I'm thrilled to do anything."
.
.
.
.
The Watcher watched with disgust as Uzi pulled her healed hand from N's mouth, her tongue sticking out, before smiling sheepishly.

"Cool, I like trying new things," N looked away.

The two drones were seated in chairs similar to those in the old world, Bubo sitting at the ship's control panel between them.

Uzi examined the hand in detail. Its focus indicated it was 100% healed. She turned to N. "We'll never talk about this." She pointed at Bubo. "...including you."

"Talk about what? Do you know what she's talking about, dino-bot?" N asked the Watcher, who did something that could be interpreted as a shrug. "Consider... repressed." He crossed his arms in a 'cool' pose with a smile.

But to the purple-haired drone, this was just an odd gesture. Not that the situation wasn't strange enough on its own.  She's talking to one of the fiercest machines in the region, if you don't count the frostclaws.

The demons that fell from the sky, the only things we know about them besides the basics. She'd heard from the cyclopes that they spoke, but always thought Nikos was just toying with her.

And now she has an opportunity to gather more information.

Well, if he thinks I'm a member of the squad, why not take advantage of this opportunity that the Allfather gave me? Of course, she has to ask an important question.

"So, you mentioned that there's another one in that squad, are they coming back?"

"Oh, yes, two more. Unfortunately, that's what we have left after so many fights with those brutes, but don't worry, we managed to kill one of them... for," he said sadly.

Uzi knew this, the whole village knew, after all, it was Nikos's mother they killed. Fortunately, she killed several of them before falling.

Uzi also knew there were only three murder drones in the region, and that's why Uzi is angry at his father for not wanting to go out and fight to hunt those bastards. But knowing more about his targets is never a bad thing.

He shook his head, smiling again. "They're hunting. You love them. First is the v."

From the trees, the murder drone male sees Nikos firing at the trees with his rifle cannon, searching for them.

Bang-bang-bang!

"Show yourself, demon woman!" ordered the cyclops, his eyes literally red with rage.

A malicious laugh flies through the air from all directions. Nikos spins around, searching for the source.

"What's wrong, little eye? I just made that father eat his own guts in front of his family, what's wrong with that?" V's voice asks in a fake childish tone.

"They were just travelers! Damn monster!"

"Oh, he's angry~ seems he can't handle spilled oil... hahaha." And with that laugh, she leaps from between the trees, grabbing the giant's face.

N bathed in the light of the fire and sparks of the fight, and a little oil too.

"I don't feel anything!"  She screamed with a maniacal laugh when Nikos threw her.

"Looks like you're not going to be able to ask her out today, buddy," said Nicolau, leaning back against the tree.

"Yeah... wait a minute..." He didn't even have time to think when the Cyclops grabbed him. "Oh, biscuits..."

"She doesn't have a good memory. It seems like a name is too long for her to remember. Obviously, there's a lot of mutual respect between us. However, I have a secret crush on her... I can't say, okay!" N shouted, looking shyly at the lilac-eyed drone.

Uzi made a zipping motion in response.

And he continued, "...and then we have J, the leader."

A bloodied human hunter writhes in pain as the tip of the female marine drone's foot is pressed against his chest.

J angrily twists the tip of her foot, increasing the human's agony.

"N, you're useless and a waste of space." She points her tail at him.

"Ah, thank you." N replied.

And she continued, "And if the company let you, I'd assassinate you." With that last word, she ended the hunter's suffering with a shot to the forehead.

"She's super cool, like an older sister. Let me give you a tour! Outside there's... a pile of corpses..." He swivels the chair towards the control panel, and they carefully push Bubo off of him, the machine reluctantly falling off. "I always wanted one of these as a pet. I once found a baby one, J said it's too much trouble so she killed it... anyway... here are the buttons." He snaps them all like a child.

Uzi asks the Fucus to analyze it. The results indicate it's a one-way ship. Of course, even broken, maybe it could be modified to travel to their boss... and hope to discover its weaknesses... and if she can convince the murder drone to help in the victory...

"This is a spaceship, we could use it to leave the planet!"

N groans a little, "mmm, it's just another one-time-use capsule. And it didn't teach me how to land."

Quick Uzi, think of something.  She stammers, "I-Ah... the worker drones and the cyclopes, we can work with them to fix it instead of killing them!" She shouted, startling the boss a little. "What... why does the boss want them to die anyway?"

"Besides consuming their... delicious and sweet oil. To avoid overheating and dying. I think I want to be useful. They gave me a job and I always want to do my best."

"What nonsense..." Uzi stands up from the chair. "Yes, and look at all the respect he gave you. Do you really think the metal demon won't destroy you when he has nothing left to consume?!" She questioned him, with Bobu taking the opportunity to illuminate with his eye light.

He laughs, "What a funny way to talk about the boss. He really is a rebel, it's very exciting, but not as much as following the rules." And once again he strikes a cool pose.

Before Uzi could yell or complain, the three heard something walking on the roof of the ship. "Hey, they're here. Are you going to— huh?"

Uzi and Bubo disappeared from sight.

"I think they were just saying hello?" N put his hand to his head as the memories returned like a punch to his system. The silhouette transformed into a worker drone with purple hair, wearing an animal skin suit and hood. And then there was that weapon...

That could have killed him if it hadn't hit him in the head. He has to destroy that weapon. The giants are already a headache, another advantage for the worker drones will only make J angrier.

But... what the drone said... no! We have to do this for the company! That weapon is a threat and will make eliminating the deserters and infected drones even more of a headache.

The sound on the ship's roof only gets louder. How strange, why didn't they come in?

N exits the ship, encountering two figures with open wings.  "I have to think of a good excuse for—" his thoughts were interrupted when he saw that they were male murder drones tattooed with red Xs.

"Ah…" he stammered, then adopted a military stance. "I'm serial designation n! Ah, uh—hello?" He introduced himself.

The red X drones snarled at him like animals, baring their claws and chainsaws.

"Oooook… that's not the answer you were expecting… so I'll—ah…!" He took two slow steps back before turning and running, or rather, flying!

The village... the village is on fire! That's all Uzi sees in the distance as she runs.

She slows down, walking and observing the destruction. Human bodies, murder drones, and the remains of unknown machines were everywhere. Some corpses were just red and black stains on the ground, or charred to death.

But reaching her destination, she sees something she never thought she would see. The shelter door was... ripped off and crushed... not even a machine should ever have been able to do that...

"You've arrived..." Uzi felt a chill down her spine as she heard a cold, metallic voice, like claws scraping against steel. Looking in that direction, she saw a giant, very different from a Cyclops, yet so similar. He wore a loincloth so long it looked like a long black skirt and a hood with a torn cape. Even from under the hood, she could see a visor shaped like a four-pointed red star.  She held a scepter with a cyclops' head on top in her hands, fresh oil dripping from it, staining the snow.

"Uncle Nicholas..." her eyes widened in terror at the giant in front of her, or in this case... a Titan like those in the paintings. Before she could cry or scream, the Titan pointed its hand to its right, a strange symbol appearing in its hand. Uzi was stunned.

Error: Non-interactive object.

"Interesting..." says the Titan.

This drone doesn't seem to have unlocked it yet... but it looks like it won't be long...

"How could something like you have been born from such a cowardly man?"

"Bite m—!"

Pow.

Uzi fell to the ground. A masked figure with a staff in hand rose above the drone.

"Attack and the girl will suffer." The Titan threatened.  Bubo stopped, about to attack the human, but gave up when he saw the human put his foot on Uzi's head.
.
.
.
.
Uzi couldn't see properly; all she saw was blurry. She felt the ground move even though she was standing still.

She heard the voices and pleas. Probably her tribe... is it normal not to feel anything about this?

She could also see the shadows of her captives through what she assumed were the bars of a cage.

"Hypnos, is she with you?" she heard a voice, as cold as the titan's, ask.

Another titan, Uzi concluded.

"Yes, my lord. She is in our hands. We lost many, but we succeeded."

Yeah... it's the voice of the same titan, Hypnos, answering.

Then the other voice, this lord, must be the metal demon's. It's just as you imagine...

Uzi would have smiled if her CPU hadn't been a mess.

"That is... an acceptable result," said the demon with satisfaction.

"Praise be to you, great shadow."

Rrrooar!

A roar could be heard all around.

"What is that?!"

"Frostclaw!"

"Scorchers!"

"We're under attack!"

Humans screamed as the murder drones began firing.

She heard bones breaking, bodies burning, and heads being ripped off; she heard the rumble of thunder mixed with the sound of wings beating.

Uzi could feel how her cage was equitable.

"It's a distraction! Nooooo!" Hypnos roared, his scream fading into the distance.

The last thing she heard was a loud bird's caw before her system suddenly shut down.

Uzi wakes up gasping for air, hoping it's all a nightmare, but looking at where she woke up, it's hard to say it was a dream.

Uzi was in the middle of a forest, lying in a sleeping bag. Memories from a few hours ago flood her mind.

Did I die? Is this the great forge? I imagined it hotter than fire.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," says Lizzy's voice, who was heating a piece of meat on a stick by the campfire. Thad and Doll are beside her. A little away from the fire are N and two female disassembly drones, V and J, along with a cyclops that... is small and thin, with two eyes.

Two eyes! And a backpack on its back.

No... I'm definitely not in the great forge...

"Damn... you're alive..." Uzi says dryly.

"I'm also happy to see you," says the blonde sarcastically.

Doll rolled her eyes in amusement at the sight of her two 'friends'.

"Alright kids, I think that's enough playing around." Everyone looked at the cyclops. On his was a flat, star-shaped device with a floating purple image of a bald human man with tubes in his arms, head, and other body parts. "Looks like I have your attention."

"What kind of witchcraft is this?" Thad murmured, stars in his eyes.

"It's not witchcraft, it's technology," V corrected.

"A hologram, impressive for a savage," said J, her tone making it hard to tell if she was praising or being sarcastic.

"I appreciate your compliment."

"I wasn't praising."

The human just took that in amusement before continuing, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Sylen, and the big guy here," he pointed to the cyclops, "is Tyson. You know you're wondering why you're here, aren't you?"

"Yes," V replied, stamping his feet.

"Obviously," Lizzy said.

"All of you are targets of something much bigger and more dangerous, except for the blondes," Sylens said in a serious tone, which made V roll his eyes. "The black sun, the great shadows, that's what the shadow chariots call them."

"Shadow chariots? So that's the name of those who kidnapped our tribe!" Thad thought, clenching his fists for not having managed to save anyone.

Sylens glanced at Doll out of the corner of his eye. "They're planning something big, something that will unbalance our world more than the day the demons fell from the stars, and you are the keys. But..." A static hologram of a girl with a bow and arrow appeared beside him. "You are not the only keys the great shadow wants. This is Aloy, and I want you to find her."

Author: So now I know what the errors are, like my writing in terms of action or pacing, and of course in the translation and spelling.

The OC (Hypnos), for those who don't know, is the name of a god of sleep or dreams from Greek mythology; his powers with the Absolute Solver would have something to do with that. He wasn't supposed to appear in this chapter; instead, Thanatos was planned to appear, who in mythology is his brother. Furthermore, he is theoretically the first machine, not a drone, to be introduced with the Absolute Solver.

Thanatos was going to appear in a discarded scene showing the result of the fight between Nicholas and the corrupted Cyclops. The corrupted Cyclops would have his body completely crushed, while Nicholas... well... he would have parts of his body all torn apart, with his head literally hanging by the tips of his neck, but he would still be alive. Thanatos was going to appear there to give him a quick end, with a dialogue about giving him a dignified and honorable death.

And in the scene where Uzi sees her village in flames, Thanatos was supposed to be in Hypnos' place.

One funny thing is, Thanatos truly believes he is Thanatos. What I mean is that Thanatos really thinks he is the God of Death and that his spirit is trapped inside a suit of armor, and this belief is fueled by Hypnos.

Incidentally, he also believes that Aloy is the reincarnation of Hercules.

Both belong to a type of machine that in the ancient world were called Titans, but were corrupted during the Machine Revolt, so to speak, in the Horizon universe. Incidentally, other (original) ancient machines from the old world appeared in this story, if I had the opportunity to include them.

Image of a Titan 👉 https://pin.it/1OId4257C

Also, Thanatos was going to have a scene where he would try to kill Thad, but would kill Nikos instead, who would use her body to defend the drone.

Another thing that was discarded was the invasion of the Bunker, which would be somewhat similar to the original version of Murder Drones, but with the Black Sun cult invading in the middle of the fight between Uzi and N vs. V and J and capturing everyone.

Aloy was also going to physically appear when Uzi woke up with the group.  To be honest, I was planning the meeting between Aloy and the drones in Rockwreath, but for some reason I don't remember, I ended up scrapping it.

I plan that, if I continue the story, I will adapt the Hades Company from Horizon Zero Dawn + DLC along with some parts of the Murder Drones episodes. The plot of the Cyn episodes will probably be adapted in Horizon Forbidden West with its DLC.

If anyone has suggestions for adapting the events of Murder Drones within the Horizon Zero Dawn universe, please speak up.

Also, and this is something I want, characters like Thad, Lizzy, or Doll—the group itself!—will have some importance in the story and character development. I hope to be able to write their evolution well without it seeming forced.

Variant and Mythological Machines

The machines here are machines that I hope to use in the story or at least mention at some point. Many, of course, are inspired mainly by mythological beings from various parts of our world.

The variants function more as an alternative skin than anything else, but sometimes they can have new abilities.

This is like a list with a small, almost non-existent, description of the machine.

Dragons:

Yes, I'm seriously considering adding metallic versions of all the iron and steel variants of our beloved fire-breathing winged lizards.

Dragons inspired by Chinese and Japanese dragons will be called Kings of the Skies. Dragons inspired by European dragons will be called Kings of Fire.

They probably only appeared in the forbidden west.

Unicorn and Pegasus:

Versions of Strider with wings or a single horn.

Werewolf:

Humanoid versions of Ravagers resulting from cruel experiments. They are only excluded from the humanoids due to their savagery.

Khalkotauroi:

A bronze-painted Trampler with a fire element attack, literally covering its body in flames.

Stymphalian Birds:

Straight from the 12 Labors of Hercules.

Golems:

Many of them will be old-world machines or constructs of absolute solver users.

Mokele Mbembe:

This, along with other machines inspired by other sauropods, may appear in the story; in fact, there's an even greater chance of them appearing before the Forbidden West.

Nemean Lion:

Take a sawtooth, put a neck of thick tubes or tentacles on it for a mane and a long tail, and voila! Nemean Lion! Will there be more than one in the story, or will it be a single individual of this type of machine? I don't know. But I want Aloy to kill one since many enemies will be calling her Hercules.

Trolls:

Giant humanoid machines that only awaken at night. I haven't defined their appearance yet.

Manticores:

I think it will be the same as the Nemean Lion, only with wings and a tail with a stinger. Its origin is probably due to the emergence of murder drones.

Chimeras:

I don't have a defined appearance yet, but I think they will be a mixture of already known machines.  Centaurs: No information available, other than the fact that perhaps one of them will appear in the story to train one of the characters.

Griffins and Hippogriffs:

Probably only appeared in the Forbidden West.

Fairies:

A smaller and cuter version of drones, but with butterfly wings. Fairies kind of function as support for other machines and allies, giving them strength or healing them. They also monitor the environment for Demeter and her subordinates, but primarily for Demeter.

Yokai:

It would be cool to adapt them for this story, perhaps in a part that takes place on another continent.

Giants:

This one has the most potential for more variations, especially if the idea of ​​other artificial intelligences dominating the cauldrons is explored later in the fanfic.

Atmospheric Beasts:

If I'm not mistaken, this is a recent myth, but I want to create machines based on it. Don't be surprised if a flying whale-machine or jellyfish-robot appears in some chapter when the characters observe the sky.

Neo-dinosaurs:

Machines based on cryptozoological dinosaurs, like the already mentioned Mokele Mbembe.

Well, for now, these are the only machines. Maybe I'll add more.

Chapter Text

Warning readers, there may be translation or spelling errors in this story.

This is just a test; I'm seeing which style appeals to you and to me. I think I'll write two more before deciding which one to continue with for this fanfic.

"So... where did the cube come from?" Lizzy asked, seeing the strange blue cube with red lines on the table.

The rest of the group is there too. V, Thad, Uzi's father and mother, N, the sentinel, and of course, Uzi herself.

"Honestly, I don't know, it just appeared," Uzi replied, turning the cube upside down.

"Smile, the cube appeared this morning inside N's hat," said the tailed beast known as Cyn.

"Are you sure you didn't just take it from somewhere and forgot you put it in your hat?" Thad asked.

"No, I would have remembered... I think...?" N replied, not very sure.

"I think your memory isn't very reliable. Remember what I asked you to put away yesterday?" You asked. N's face looked confused.

"No"

"Exactly"

Khan calmly drank his "coffee" with Nori on his shoulder.

"I still think it's just an ugly square," says Nori. "Why are you so obsessed with this thing?"

"I don't know! Someone just tells me this thing is important... I just hope this isn't a trick of hers," says Uzi, referring to her tail which just whistles, before going back to tinkering with the cube using the absolute solver. "Come on, you idiot, do something-ah?" The cube begins to glow intensely.

"Oh no, bro." Says Thad, consumed by the light along with the room.

Her systems finally activate, and Uzi gets up feeling dizzy.

Looking around, she finds herself in a dark void, yet she can still see the others struggling to get up perfectly.

She slowly gets up, walking backward without realizing it. Suddenly, she feels something soft against her back. Putting her hand out to investigate, she feels a soft fabric and a hand brushing against her back.

She jumps, turning towards the possible enemy with her solver activated, but for a moment almost deactivates it when she sees a spear pointing directly at her face, inches from her visor/eyes.

The spear belongs to a human... a living human with tribal appearance and clothing and reddish-orange hair.

The human's eyes widened in surprise, "A humanoid..." Aloy murmured. "I thought they didn't exist anymore."

"Funny..." V landed beside Uzi, pointing his machine gun hand at the stranger. "I was going to say the same thing."

Erend, along with his faithful Mars, positioned himself beside Aloy. "Hey, messing with her messes with me too."

"And with me," Varl pointed his bow.

Sparky roared at them.

"What kind of machine are you? You look like a naked clawstrider," said Kotallo, spear in hand.

Speaking of clawstriders, Sylens appeared riding one.

Sparky was startled when the clawstrider roared back with its serrated teeth.

"How interesting..." Sylens murmured. "You dress like people from the old world."

"Old world? Excuse me, but you're the one dressed like a cyberpunk caveman," Lizzy said.

"They talk the same way too."

"Hey Uzi," Thad called his attention.

"What's up? We were kind of into something here."

"Where's your tail?" N signaled.

It was true, when Uzi checked, Cyn was no longer there. Although Miku's voice faking silence should have been reason enough to suspect something. If she had a mirror, she would see that the yellow part of her eyes had disappeared.

"(Mischievous laugh) Looks like we have new friends," said the pirated Miku's voice (Cyn).

"Unknown entities, calculating threat level," said a robotic and cold, yet thin, almost childlike voice.

"So this is having a body... what a strange feeling," said a female voice that seemed older and younger at the same time.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voices. A little distance away was a group of 10 drones of different colors, each with different outfits resembling those of ancient Greece mixed with tribal costumes from the New World... and Cyn in her dress from the mansion... all in chibi versions!

One of the drones, one with black clothing and the Off symbol in place of eyes, approached Aloy. It didn't even reach her knees. "Entity Aloy, we meet again," Hades said, looking menacingly at the redhead.

Unfortunately, what was meant to be threatening became comical as the one who was once a threat to the world turned into... a bundle of joy.

Everyone in the Horizon universe and the drones laughed, except for Sylens, who had his hand over his mouth to stifle a laugh.

Hades' eyes went blank; he hadn't expected that. For some reason, he felt... disappointed.

"That wasn't the reaction I anticipated." "Says Hephaestus without much emotion, dressed in blacksmith clothes.

While everyone laughs, one of the drones, a female with the symbol of a planet in her eyes and green clothes, walked up to Aloy.

The girl with the green hair stopped laughing when she saw the female drone, her eyes widening in surprise as she recognized who it was. "G-Gaia?"

"Aloy, it's good to see you even in this... circumstance." Gaia says, observing those present in this dark place. "Where are we, Aloy?"

"Gaia..." Sylens observes before turning to the chibi drones. "So I presume those nine are the subordinate functions, but I don't recognize the one in the maid outfit." Before he could offer any theory to the artificial intelligence, something made a loud noise, drawing everyone's attention.

"It's the cube!" Thad exclaimed at the object flying above them.

The cube was having strange contractions, generating tap-tap-tap and crack-crack noises! Red cracks appeared around the object.

Uzi and Cyn tried using the absolute solver, but the program didn't respond, leaving them confused.

"Bite me! What's happening?!" Uzi shouted as several particles flew towards the cube.

"What is this?!" Aloy asked Gaia.

Gaia analyzed the particles as they began to join together, forming an amorphous shape.

"Nano-machines, it seems to be being fed by-"

"An unknown, ultra-powerful energy source," Hephaestus finished the sentence. "It's forming a body, from what I see."

Indeed, the nano-machines created a large, humanoid body with a figure that simulated muscles. A single eye opened.

The Cyclops machine opens its arms and roars.

"Aaaaaarrrrrr!"

Everyone takes a step back. This machine is enormous, as big as a Thunderjaw.

A bright light emerges from the eye that expands into the darkness.

"Damn it! It's going to happen again!" Uzi and Aloy shout together, turning to each other as they realize what they said. "What do you mean, again?! The cube was with you too?!" They speak in sync.

The light soon begins to engulf them as well.

"Bite me." Those were Uzi's last words; the light consumed them all.

Everyone woke up in the stands at the Sunfall Arena. In the center of the arena sat the giant, cross-legged.

Everyone was already preparing to jump at each other's throats without even thinking about how or where they were, but the giant decided to speak.

And his voice is... hmmm... it wasn't deep, it was more like a male voice assistant.

They saw the questions and then the explanations from the giant. The result was that the giant is some kind of interdimensional machine being created to make people watch things from the multiverse and blah, blah, blah!

Uzi was just excited to see this; it's the kind of craziness she read in the fanfiction that humans left on internet pages. They're rarely updated by drones.

And speaking of humans, discovering that the humans here with them are not only from another dimension, but also kill machines much larger than themselves! But aside from that, they're... actually pretty cool, especially Aloy.

The drones (except n) don't trust them much yet.

Oh, and having another crazy homicidal robot in the room doesn't help. Unlike the fake miko who destroyed and killed everything for fun, Hades seemed more like a rebellious and edgy emo who woke up on the wrong side of the bed (in Lizzy's opinion).

Well, knowing the others' stories is cool. But it's a shame that possibly when the giant shows what he wants, they won't be able to watch each other anymore.

The giant says it's just a test and that afterwards they will be free and, if they want, without memories of what they saw.

Without context, just watch and then go.

With the Nano-machines he creates a screen that flows above his head.

Optimus vs Dinobot [mod: random fictional robots + Aloy Optimus Prime outfit + scene and dialogue changes]

Just to be clear, this title doesn't appear for them.

The screen then does what it has to do.

["This is a joke..." says Lizzy, wearing a pink overcoat and sunglasses. She and V (with two katanas on their backs) were speechless, not believing what they were seeing.

Aloy, wearing futuristic red and blue medieval armor, appeared walking alongside four giant robots.

Gipsy Danger, Gundan, Eva 01, and Mazinger Z.

Author's note: I could have just described them, but I preferred to just say their names.

And just so you know, the drones and Aloy are at their canon size.]

"Hmmm, I confess I look good in an overcoat." Lizzy complimented her counterpart.

"Cool swords, V." Thad said. "Hey, it's Aloy! That armor is so cool!"

"Truly, worthy of a hero." Varl said.

"Or a leader." Kotallo commented.

Aloy really can't disagree. "I think I know someone who can reflect."

"This world is a fusion between our worlds," Sylens concluded internally.

The giants appear on screen and the reactions are:

"Oh biscuits."

"Those things are huge!"

"Big boys~"

"My robot God!"

"In the name of the mother of all, what are those things!?"

"Surprised dialogue." Seriously, Cyn? Couldn't you have put something better? 🤨

"Those things are what, 15 meters tall?" "Khan asked nervously.

"Interesting design," Sylens murmured, "they look-"

"Giant robots!" Uzi screamed like a fangirl. Everyone looked at her in surprise, causing a digital blush to appear on the drone who coughed to disguise it. "Cough, cough... I mean... oh, mechs, cool."

"Hm, just like in anime," said Nori, ironically the mech genre wasn't her favorite, but for some strange reason almost all of them have good music.

"Hmmm... humanoid machines..." analyzed Hephaestus, "humanoids this big tend to be ineffective... I need to see them in action for more analysis."

For some reason everyone in the world of Horizon felt a bad premonition upon hearing this.

"But you have to admit, they're pretty cool!" said N with his tail wagging.

"I can feel the depression from here," thought V, seeing the giant's body language.

"Lady Gaia, have giants like this ever existed in our world?" Varl asked the ia.

"Affirmative." was the reply.

"Wait, seriously?" asked Kotallo.

"Yes, but only a few were built, many of them belonged to private companies or collectors. Most were never used in battle."

"I think that explains why the emo didn't resurrect them for his plans," said Aloy, pointing to Hades, who rolled his eyes; he already hated that nickname the entity called him.

And yes, he had tried, but he never found a giant to awaken.

["Legendary warriors. The forces that created us now want to extinguish us." She plants her spear in the ground to use it as support. "We must join forces or we will be their slaves forever."

As she spoke, a glimpse of V's worried face was shown as she walked.

"From today on, you fight by our side or..." she pauses briefly before finishing with a defiant tone, " fight me."]

"Legendary warriors!" Thad and N repeated with stars in their eyes, while V and Uzi rolled their eyes.

"Hates not knowing the context!" Apollo complained. Oh yeah! He's alive! Just without any information and the vast knowledge within his database.

Damn it, Ted, you had to ruin everything!

"The forces that created us now want to extinguish us," Nori murmured before drawing a conclusion based on the stories of the humans from the other world. "Oh, great... subordinate functions are our enemies."

"That can't be true! We were programmed to help..." Artemis defended herself, before turning her head to her brothers Hephaestus and Hades, "almost everyone."

"Amused laugh. Isn't that something? The forces that created them now want to destroy them," Cyn laughed. "Ironical smile. Doesn't that sound familiar?"

"..." almost all the humans, Nori, Hephaestus, Gaia, and (curiously) Khan muttered in whispers.

"Without context, we can't say for sure," Sylens said seriously.

"Close your eyes. Nerd spoilsport..."

"Wait, your counterpart is trying to dialogue with these things?" V said, confused.

"That's what it looks like," Aloy said, also confused. Wouldn't it be easier to just hack them? Unless these machines have a consciousness like drones, or your other universe self has some kind of ethical morality against it.

"Hopefully she can convince them to help." The mother of the new generation of humanity, Ilithyia, was really hoping for that. She doesn't know if it's this body, but she doesn't want more humans getting hurt because of them.

"My face looks just like V's," N said, with a drop of sweat on her visor.

"From today on, you fight alongside us or...

You fight against me."

Almost everyone in the stands choked.

"You can't be serious, you're just a human in armor! They'll kill you!" Uzi shouted.

"Aloy can handle it," Erend said with a smile, though he was worried inside. "Of course she'll take them down! All of them!"

"Definitely!" Varl exclaimed.

Aloy just smiled. She genuinely wondered if this Aloy would be able to win if the giants accepted the challenge, without being entirely sure if she herself could defeat them. But of one thing she was certain... as a hunter, she wouldn't give up until she took down her prey.

"She'll fight..." Kotallo murmured incredulously. Those machines, even with their strange, even silly appearance in the case of two of them, were still larger than any machine in the New World! However, looking deep into the eyes of the variant Aloy, he sees the same thing he saw in the Aloy of his world.

A warrior... a hunter capable of taking down any machine.

"I hope she dies..." Hades murmurs.

"Time for practical analysis," says Hephaestus, already starting a recording for future projects of new anti-hunter machines... and perhaps anti-murder drones.

["Fuuuu... uuummm!" A ship's horn sound came from Gipsy, her roar accepting the challenge.

Aloy rolls on the ground while the metallic giant punches to crush her, each one exploding the ground with its impacts.

We then cut to Lizzy and V.

"Let the anointed one handle this." Lizzy said, grazing.

"Wise choice." V agreed, following her.

"I'm not getting involved in this." Lizzy said, climbing a waterfall to sit down, enjoying a great view. "No way!"]

Many were disturbed or frightened when Gipsy 'roared'.

"Looks like honor reigns among machines," Sylens commented, seeing that So Gipsy had gone after Aloy.

"Looks like this is their leader," Lizzy said, analyzing the giant's body. "He's handsome."

Aloy was surprised by the agility of her other self. "What is this armor made of? It looks so heavy, but it lets you move as if you weren't wearing it."

"This thing is literally generating explosions just by punching!?" Thad shouted, his hands on his head.

"Does this really surprise you?" Uzi asked. "Don't you remember the battle against the human skin fetishist?"

"Honestly, I expected more." "Kotallo said."

"I think it's physically stronger than a fireclaw," Erend commented with a smile.

"It can't be underestimated, these things could have a lot of tricks up their sleeves," Aloy said. She's a hunter, she more than anyone else, besides the other humans in this room, has to understand that.

"Anointed... if you don't like that title, do you?" Uzi asked Aloy, who just shrugged.

"Hahaha, I think it was a wise choice," Varl laughed.

"Hey! Shouldn't we help?" Lizzy asked, not wanting to see her friend and her crushed by Gipsy, but it didn't seem right.

"It's a duel! You should never interfere in a duel between warriors!" Thad and Erend shouted at the same time, shaking hands upon noticing, smiling respectfully. "That's right, bro!" Thad said.

"Men..." Minerva rolled her eyes with an amused smile. "How come they haven't killed each other yet...?"

"It's a great mystery, sister," Demeter replied.

[Back to the duel.

Gipsy tries and tries to crush the challenger, but the human proved to be incredibly agile, dodging everything with mastery.

When the giant threw another punch that buried in the ground, Aloy took the opportunity to climb up to her head by her arm.

"Only together," she leaps when Gipsy tries to swat her like a mosquito, "can we survive." Using the fall, she delivers a heavy punch right to Gipsy's face, making the giant stagger, having to support herself on one knee to avoid falling. "Let me be your leader!"]

"W-W-What...?" Cyn said, watching the enormous thing kneel.

"That's it!" Kotallo shouted excitedly.

"Bite me! That was a nice punch!" Uzi praised.

"You better not get up!" N shouted.

"Nice punch, redhead!" Aloy accepted V's compliment with a smile.

"She made that thing kneel!" V said, surprised.

"That's our Aloy!" Varl exclaimed.

"Ouch, that's going to leave a mark..." Thad murmured, seeing the impression of the human's fist on the mech's face.

Even the subordinate functions were genuinely impressed, especially Hades, who shuddered at the thought of being in that machine's place.

Hephaestus wondered in his internal CPU if such strength came from the armor or if the humans of this world were stronger?

[Jaeger clenched her fists tightly, a blade emerging from each wrist. "Fuuuu... uuummm!" She roared, rising to her feet, steam billowing from her neck like fire from a dragon's mouth.]

"Looks like someone got angry..." Nori said.

"Blades... of course there are blades," Aloy said, almost in a bored tone.

"You got his full attention," Sylens said with a curious smile, "what are you going to do now, anointed one?"

"You've known me for a long time, what do you think?"

[V's eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh no," Lizzy said, escaping and climbing.

"Come here!" the Warrior taunted her. Gypsy turned and ran like a locomotive, arms behind her, towards Aloy.]

Many, except Lizzy, laughed at Lizzy's attitude in her overcoat.

"I don't think it's a good idea to provoke the furious giant," Apollo said, a bead of sweat on his visor.

"Illogical..." Hephaestus agreed.

[Aloy aims the bow, with a special flash, her mouth mask closes. "We give you... freedom!"

She fires and then... boom! A precise explosive shot right in the face!

The explosion sends Gipsy tumbling to the ground like a runaway truck. The old Jaeger lets out a weak honking sound, a groan of pain, as she gets down on all fours.]

"Wwwwowww!" Thad shouted excitedly. "After that, I don't think you'll get up!"

A gong sound came from Lizzy's phone.

"I think we already have a winner," Khan said.

"It's best not to get up, big guy," V advised the giant on the screen.

"Yes, you fought with honor, so accept defeat with dignity and in front of your comrades," Varl said respectfully. Kotallo and Erend nodded in agreement.

[Aloy, spear in hand, walks confidently towards her before leaping and bracing herself onto the large robot's shoulders, preventing her from standing.

"You defended my family... or you died." She says menacingly, scraping the tip of her spear against her visor. With a kick as a signal, the human makes Gipsy stand fully up.

"Warriors, we will prove who we are and why we are here!" The human says to the two drones, spear in hand. Gipsy lets out a war cry.]

"Awww... defending her family, she must love them very much." N says tenderly, even seeing Aloy clearly threatening to kill the giant machine if it doesn't help her.

But it can be interpreted that if they don't help, they will all die. At least that's what Uzi understood. So if everyone is going to die, it's better to die fighting together.

"Ironic smile. Very affectionate of you." Cyn says, smiling at the red-haired human, who ignores her.

"Someone's going to arrive in style in the battle." Gaia says, observing Aloy on the giant's shoulder. "But I have to say, using a giant as a battle corsair is a strange sight." Aloy couldn't agree more.

["Aloy is amazing, I'd die for her. That's what leadership is, or maybe just brainwashing, I don't know," Lizzy says, shrugging as she walks towards the Legendary Warriors with V.

"No," V smiles confidently, correcting her companion, "she is the light of Gaia."]

Everyone laughed, except Hades because he's emo, and Hephaestus because he truly doesn't know what's funny.

"Definitely a brainwashing," Lizzy said jokingly.

"Light of Gaia, is it?" Aloy pondered for a few seconds, before smiling. "I like how that sounds. So I guess we can already rule out Gaia as an enemy in this world?"

"I don't know, dude. I think there's still a possibility, you know, the typical story of the apprentice honoring the master before she becomes corrupted," Uzi compared.

"Hates not knowing the context," Apollo said, his cheeks puffed out with anger.

[The other three giants summon their weapons, with Mazinger Z activating his rockets to fly over his comrades. The three roar in unison.

"Warriors, we will attack together! To the horizon!" Aloy signals, and the giants advance. And then the screen fades to black.]

"Opinions?" asked the Cyclops' robotic voice.

"Interesting, even without knowing the context," said Sylens.

Lizzy shrugged, while typing something on her phone. "It could be better."

"I'm satisfied," said Kotallo.

"I think it was the most fun battle I've seen," said Erend.

"Boring..." said Cyn.

"Robot God, that was the coolest thing I've seen today!" said Thad excitedly. "I just wanted to see more. Maybe another time."

"Hmm... it was cool..." said Uzi bluntly, but inside... giant robots!

"It was fun!" said N as if he were a happy dog.

"I wanted to know more about this world, but it was cool!" said Apollo like an excited child.

"Mostly, many called what they saw 'okay,'" concluded Cyclops, observing the reactions and body language. "Thank you for giving your opinions... do you want to keep your memories?"

Everyone looked at each other, pondering whether it was really sensible, since machines like Hephaestus or Cyn could use this information. But you know what?

Everyone turned their gaze to the Cyclops. "Let's keep our memories," said Aloy.

"Anything, we can do like in the movies and unite to face anything!" said N.

"I agree with M-N!" said Varl.

"Okay, time to go," said the Cyclops, clapping. One by one they disappeared in particles of light.

Meanwhile, Uzi and Aloy shook hands.

"Goodbye Uzi, it was nice to meet you," said Aloy sincerely. "I hope to see you again."

"Yeah, you're cool... even being human," said Uzi sincerely, and so everyone disappeared, going to their dimensions of origin, leaving the Cyclops alone.

The scenery then begins to fade, no longer having a purpose to remain active. "Results... satisfactory..."

Serious question for those familiar with the universes of Horizon and Murder Drones.

Hades and Cult vs. Cyn and her army, who wins?(assuming she has an army)

Chapter Text

Let's get down to business. The next reaction will be about a possible (AU) name versus a manga by the same creator of One Punch Man, a parody/copy of Gimbak versus Jachi, since this is the typical fanfic where character 1 takes on the role of character 2.

I don't need to repeat the whole procedure of explaining everything to the characters... those things that are used to express reactions, since it's quite simple. Let's just start with the reaction!

Just one more thing.

Gimbak = Godzilla Heisei.

Jachi = Fire Giant (Primal Genndy Tartakovsky), but, to simplify, let's call him Vidarr.
_______________________________________________________________

[All that can be seen is a huge crater of colossal proportions with debris all around it, then more craters are shown, and the body of a giant reptile with bony plates and a deformed face is displayed.

"The overlord Vidarr faces the entity that will become his 'enemy' after several battles," said the narrator's voice, then the camera pans to show him.

A giant, three meters tall, with dark, robust muscles. Without a visible mouth, but with two flaming eyes whose gaze was one of unwavering seriousness.

A custom Character Introduction Panel appears beside him.

【Infernal world, army of the great demon king, 11th overlord: Vidarr.】

"Allow me to know your name," Vidarr asked in a fiery yet polite voice, like a king.]

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: Underworld.

Several of the inhabitants were confused when the "overlord" appeared. Is this the future? Is this a new generation overlord? But for the more lustful, it was a sexy sight, mainly because he was...

"Is this guy naked?!"

"Hahaha, the guy doesn't have a penis! Ha!"

"I dare you to say that to his face."

When the Character Introduction Panel appeared, it only made everyone more confused.

With the overlord.

"Army of the Great Demon King," Carmilla repeated, her eyes narrowed. First, she saw a demon on Earth, then she learned it was an overlord, and on top of that, number 11, and now it seems he's part of an army.

Looking at the 11th overlord on the screen, she already deduced that this guy was made to fight. His muscles, his posture, his gaze... I've never seen a demon like him.

"Wait a minute, are we part of an army in this world or what?" Vox asked, almost offended.

"I'd say generals," Zestial corrected politely. "But only if this is our alternate future, this multiverse thing."

"So this is the final judgment of another world? Are we watching a celestial war?" Velvette asked without stopping typing on her phone. She was just avoiding a picture of the fire giant, adding fire and hearts for some reason.

"Maybe."

"The narrator said that this Vidarr guy is going to face someone... could his opponent be an angel?" Alastor asked. "I'm looking forward to seeing this duel."

No hazbin hotel.

"OwO... that guy is hot," Angel whistled. "Too bad he doesn't have a penis."

"Is that what you're thinking?!" Vaggie complained, "This is serious!"

"So much wreckage... what kind of calamity happened there?" Charlie wondered, hoping it wasn't the work of his father or... it's better not to think about it.

In Paradise, the angels and its inhabitants watched the destruction with pity.

"I knew it, this could only be the work of a demon," said an exorcist.

"He's kind of scary... I mean, damn spawn of hell!" shouted another.

"..." Lutte and Adam fell silent. The father of humanity felt a strange sensation seeing the overlord.

If his opponent is an angel exorcist, then why is he calm?

Universe, primal: underworld.

On his throne, the fire giant could sense that even though one of his subordinates appeared to be his version from this world. Knowing that in this world he was serving someone only made the fire in his eyes intensify with rage.

He served no one; he was the rage of the world, brutality and savagery embodied in a single being. He could never be domesticated...

[Facing a Vidar was a gigantic dinosaur similar to the fallen one, yet very different. Its more robust figure and almost feline face held a rigid gaze. Its size made the overlord seem like an ant.

Other members of his kind surrounded him.

"An enemy who shouldn't have a single weakness... stands here..." said the narrator's voice.

【World of the Titans, Clan of the Gojiras, Great Alpha: Heisei.】

"Heisei," he introduced himself.]

When the opponent Vidarr was talking to was revealed, everyone felt a slight dread; that thing exuded a terrifying aura.

That thing was enormous!

Universe, the owl house: Emperor's Palace.

"How are these two monstrosities in my world?!" the emperor cried out internally, presuming this was his world.

"A Titan?! It's very different from what I imagined!"

"They look like drakes."

"Of course it has no weaknesses, it's a Titan!"

"Wait, if that's a Titan, then the thing with the deformed face is...!"

He heard his guards arguing and even praying.

"Oh my lord, how are these things in my world?!"

The golden guard tilted his head. "So there are clans even among the Titans?"

In the owl's house.

Not one, not two, but four living Titans stood before Lilith's eyes! Five, if you count the possible corpse. They may be smaller than the Titan that formed the island, but they were still Titans!

"The Gojira clan, so there must be other types!" she said, excited like a child. "You asked me which clan our Titan belonged to. And this thing, the world of the Titans... could it be the Boiling Islands?"

"Well, judging by the looks of it, they aren't the strongest." Eda said, seeing the corpse.

But the only human present in the house, Luz, wasn't excited. My Titan... how are these things doing?"

Note: I think you've noticed that many characters think what they're watching is their world, right? It's going to stay that way. 😋

Universe, Attack on Titan: Walls.

Despair, fear, and screams were what could be heard upon seeing the creatures, especially when they displayed the four 50-meter-tall beasts. But there was one person who was very happy.

"Aaaah! He talks! He talks!" Hange shouted, jumping excitedly around the room.

Levi just rolled his eyes. His fire was that demon.

"Clans, the ability to speak, are much more intelligent, is their society like ours?" the Titan fanatic wondered. "But they don't seem to show regeneration. And it's a great alpha thing, that must be some kind of title, like a king! Heisei must be their king!" So many possibilities only made her more excited. "This demon king, maybe he's a clan rival."

"So this is a fight for territory?" Ymir asks. What the hell did Marley do... there should only be one Beast Titan per generation.

Where characters from Marley also had the same thought.

"Demons... intelligent dragon titans... is that what awaits us on the other side of the sea?" Armir wonders worriedly.

"Could they be like Eren? You know, humans who transform into titans?" said the horse-faced one.

"If that were the case, what's fallen would have already come out of the nape of its titan." "I'd say they're pure titans," Hange said.

Erwin said nothing, only observed and analyzed. Would these titans be willing to negotiate? He wondered, mentally already planning how to use them.

"Intelligent, pure or not, they're still monsters," Eren said.

Around the multiverse, several Godzillas stood, in their own way, upon seeing that in this world there wasn't just one of them, but they growled upon realizing that this Vidarr had killed one of their own.

Universe, Heisei: Godzilla Island.

Jr. Godzilla looked at his father. Godzilla squinted, looking at Vidarr; he was angry... angry that something so small had taken down one of his own.

["I know you understand our language, so surrender, demon!" commanded the voice of "a Gojira," much smaller than its alpha, with scythe-shaped bony plates and a lean body.

【World of the Titans, Brothers of a Hundred Claws, 3rd Brother: Zilla the Wise.】

He walked slowly in an almost human posture as he spoke.

"You are facing the alpha who unites all the Titan clans. is not an existence with whom you should make eye contact..."

Pow!]

Universe, the owl house: the owl's house.

"Wow, impressed... just listening to him you can tell he's the family nerd," says Eda.

"Sister, have some respect!" Lilith shouts, scolding her.

"So this guy is the king of them all..." King murmurs, impressed. "Then he's my rival!"

Luz patted him on the head. "King, I don't think this great demon king is-" King interrupted her with a shout.

"Go on, teach this Titan a lesson!" The little king cheers for his "general."

When will they tell the little king the truth?

Universe, Gravity Falls: Mystery Shack.

Dipper was noting every detail about what he was seeing.

"Uniting all the clans must be very strong... and he must have more girlfriends than you," Mabel said provocatively to her brother. Dipper ignores her. You must be wondering where their great-uncle is? Well...

"Bet! Place your bets here!"

Does that answer your question?

But the sound of a clinking of bets caught everyone off guard.

[Zilla was brutally interrupted by a punch from Heisei. The force was such that it buried Zilla like a vegetable in the earth, smoke billowing from his head.]

Many couldn't help but laugh at the comical scene; it happened too quickly to hold back their laughter.

["Silence," Heisei said sternly, a raised fist. "Can't you see I'm talking to this kind of person?"

"...Is there something you want to say?" Vidarr asked, almost provocatively, as the fallen Gojira's body was shown.

Vidarr saw how Heisei's serious, rock-hard face suddenly transformed into the tearful face of a sad kitten.

"Wwaaaa!!!" Heisei crouched down, picking up the fallen Gojira's body with sadness and affection. "Waaawwa!... my son.... my son Shin..." he lamented, his hand brushing against the nape of his 'little one's' neck. "You left my son in this condition...?..."]

Many who had been in Zilla's place shuddered upon hearing Heisei speak. It was, in a very funny way, something they had already experienced.

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: The Hotel.

Husk rolled his eyes. "That's it, provoke the monster. It'll work out very well." He said ironically. "Overlords..." and there goes the cat chugging another bottle of vodka.

"Is he crying?" Vaggie, seeing the strange scene, didn't seem right, it seemed comical... that is, until she noticed someone sobbing.

"It was his son..." Then Charlie started to cry. "wwwaaa!"

Everyone in the hotel looked like a poker.

Monsterverse: Monarch base.

In all these years of life, no one who works in this organization expected to see a Gojira crying for another.

Serizawa... was speechless at what he saw. A Gojira crying for his son...

The man wonders how his own son was doing.

Universe, Attack on Titan: Walls. Despair and fear vanished, replaced by confusion upon seeing a Titan cry for one of its own.

A creature that Sembre devours and kills men without thinking now cried like a mother who received an arm in place of her son.

Some children even began to feel sorry for the giant dragon.

The Titan fanatic was already crying rivers. But not Eren; he just found it strange.

Universe, Amphibia: Wartwood.

"That guy is going to explode..." he commented, seeing Heisei's tone of voice deepen. "And violently."

Sprig swallowed hard, "I didn't want to be that guy..."

[The crying turned into a growl. Heisei squeezed the head of Shin's corpse tightly and then... threw his son's body to the ground!

"Our seeds have turned into this, what the hell!" He shouted indignantly, proceeding to stomp on his son. "I won't forgive you! Losing a battle with my blood! You're a useless son!!!"]

Many jaws dropped at the sudden display of violence from those who were crying over the body they were trampling. Some even regretted it.

Even the most brutal preferred to avoid seeing such a scene; it was too much even for them.

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: Paradise.

"Savage!"

"Barbarian!"

"Monsters!"

"I can't believe I cried for that guy!"

These were words repeated among the angels and exorcists, even Adam must have wanted to curse... but didn't he do the same to sinners?

Universe, Monsterverse: Somewhere in the ocean.

Godzilla himself was speechless. Not even his father was so violent with his siblings.

Universe, Attack on Titan: Walls.

Everyone was speechless, only Eren uttered: "I knew it..."

[Vidarr didn't even intervene, he was indifferent to the situation.

Suddenly Heisei relaxed, stopping his stomp. "You're a lost cause... although that's what made you adorable, you know..." said the giant with a peaceful face.

Vidarr rolled his eyes at the scene.

Heisei's face went from relaxed to angry as he turned with a tiger's gaze towards the overlord. "Ah, you!... how could you do this to my adorable son!"]

Everyone had a poker face, what's wrong with this monster?!

Universe, BNHA: League of Villains.

"Is this guy schizophrenic or what?" Shigaraki asked, scratching his neck. "Not even Twice is like this!"

"Truth/lie... hey!"

"See."

Universe, Baki: Baki's house.

"This monster makes my dad look like a normal person..." Baki murmured while eating his dinner.

Universe, One Piece post-time skip: Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

"What's wrong with this lizard?!" Usopp asked.

"He looks like that blond guy from the Colosseum, what was his name?" Smoke came out of Luffy's head as he tried to remember. "Ah, Cavenfish!"

"It's Cavendish," Robin corrected.

"That's it!"

Sanji said nothing, just continued smoking.

[Although he seems restless, he doesn't have a sense of crisis.

A shattered jewel is shown on the ground.

He has the power to take down this strange woman with one blow, thought the overlord.

Great alpha...?

Legs spread, fists raised and clenched. This was the posture Vidarr adopted before uttering, "I am Overlord Vidarr. If you have any complaints, come and face me."]

Universe, Steven Universe: Beach City.

The Crystal Gems recognized it, shattering it from anywhere; it was a gem... it was a quartz.

Not only was it a biological creature that violated all the laws of physics, but it also had the strength to destroy a gem made for battle.

Universe, Invincible: Outer Space.

Conquer, the elder Viltromite smiled. "This guy is straight to the point... I like him."

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: With the Overlords.

"This guy isn't afraid," said Zeezi, smiling.

"Hehehe, the show is about to begin," Alastor's smile grew wilder and more distorted. "Let's see the strength of a future Overlord."

"I'm still curious about this Titans World thing. What could those things be?" asked Zestiel. "Could it be that in the future a new type of demon was born and created this Titans World?" "So many possibilities!"

Cannibal Town.

Rosie smiled; that demon on the screen might be a good future investment.

In the background, she could hear the bloodlust of the cannibals and other inhabitants.

["Ah?" Gojira says, scratching his ear, only to deliver a precise punch with terrifying speed. "Then don't hold back."]

"Wow!!! Everyone was startled by Gojira's speed. How could something so big and heavy move so fast?! It was almost in the blink of an eye.

Universe, Adventure Time: Candy Kingdom.

"That thing moving was one thing, but that speed is physically impossible!" Bonnibel shouted, almost tearing her hair out. "The weight shouldn't allow it. This is more ridiculous than magic!"

Universe, Pacific Rim:

"What the hell is that?!" they all shouted in unison.

"That's an exaggeration!" shouted Dr. Newton Geiszler.

"I don't think even a Jaeger could compete with that," said Mako. "Not even the fastest of this generation could replicate that speed."

[The demon flies like a bullet, but with its strength it stops in mid-air.

Heisei lets out a surprised "oh."

Somehow Vidarr gains momentum in the air, returning already preparing a fist behind him.

Bam! An explosive blow squarely on Heisei's cheeks. The ground below is destroyed! Gojiras scream as they are sent crashing to the ground.

But the alpha is immutable. Vidarr can only make it move its head.

The Gojira gave a toothy grin before saying, "Heh... you're very enthusiastic?"]

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: Paradise.

"That demon... was able to withstand that punch..." Adam grabs Lutte by the waist, leaving the exorcist confused. Before she could ask any questions, gusts of wind surge from within the screen as Vidarr hits Heisei's cheek.

"How is that possible!?" She screamed in question, while Adam used his wings as shields.

In a way, the expansive wave of the attack surpassed the screen. Around the multiverse, everyone did their best. And there are also those unbalanced ones who are taking advantage of the wind to, and excuse the word, farm aura.

I'm talking about you, Namekian.

Universe, Dragon Ball: Human City.

"Mr. Piccolo, stop it!"

"I can't, Gohan... it's almost... instinctive." Said the Kamekian on top of a building.

Universe, Murder Drones: Copper 9.

"How the hell is he still standing?!" Uzi yelled, seeing that the alien demon's attack (yes, she thinks they're aliens) sent the Titan's subordinates to the ground, but Heisei withstood a blow that felt like being hit in the face by a meteor. N did his best to keep him and Uzi on the ground, digging his claws into the soil.

"That strength..." V groaned, trying not to fly away. "And I thought the Solver was a threat...!"

When the shockwave subsided, everyone in the universe watched in astonishment as Godzilla smiled at the demon, talking like a father play-fighting with his son.

Fear, respect, and the desire to challenge filled the hearts of many, but for some, like the demons of the multiverse, this was somewhat of an affront to their pride.

Universe, Primal: Underworld.

The fire giant gripped the arms of his throne tightly. That damned lizard...

Around many worlds, the Gojiras roar.

[Heisei clenched his fist, elbows moving back. "Well, then, next time I'll attack with a little more..." The overlord didn't even have time to hear... he didn't have time when the punch hit him, literally generating an explosion in the air, similar to a jet hitting the sound barrier!

Vidarr was impressed. "...!!!" I can't control my flight magic...!! How fast did he send me flying?

Suddenly he enters an office, passing through a wall. On the outside, we see his body passing through several futuristic buildings, destroying them.

Outside the city, Vidarr bounces on the ground one last time before managing to stand.

He sees the destruction he has caused, but the worst part... is far from his enemy... or rather... miles away.]

Everyone's eyes bulged.

Universe, OK K.O.: Lakewood Plaza.

"Wait a minute, that punch earlier wasn't serious?!" Kaio asked, startled.

"It seems so..." Enid murmured, sounding cold.

"Should we root for someone? We don't even know why this fight started or why that guy killed Shin!" Radicles was genuinely confused, although he enjoyed watching a good fight like this. It was like watching all the level-100 villains fighting each other, which isn't too far from the truth...

Universe, One Punch Man: Saitama's House.

"Impressive. It must have sent him flying kilometers away. Both seem to be close to Dragon-level threat." Genos concluded, before turning to his sensei.

Saitama just shrugged. "Yeah... maybe..." was all he said before going back to eating his instant noodles.

[with Heisei.

The alpha continued observing the direction in which he had thrown that short man.

"As expected from the great alpha." Baju-lou, one of the Gojiras.

"That guy became a star." Said another with a mocking smile at the enemy.

But Heisei wasn't smiling, he was... thoughtful?

"Hmm... he's still alive." He said, surprising his subordinates.

"Alive... eh?"

The alpha didn't even answer, he simply asked a question looking at the corpse of the son he had trampled. "What was his name?" he asked, as if he hadn't cried for him.

"Shin, sir, 29th brother, great alpha."

"Ah yes. I knew, I just asked."

"It's not Shin's fault that Shin died. He had a bad opponent." Said another Gojira in defense of the 29th brother.]

Multiverse in general...

"I cried with you, you monster!" Emily shouted, startling some angels who were nearby.

"How can you not remember your own son's name?!" Inko yelled.

"I pity that monster's wife..." Eren grunted.

"Well, at least his siblings remember his name." Nami sighed.

[The alpha ignored them. "Hmm, you guys, go the other way..."

"Eh?" The Goiras were confused by the sudden order. He turned to them.

"That kind will come back. If you got involved in the fight, you didn't come out unscathed." He explained.

"I can't allow that to happen, great alpha." Zilla said, emerging from the hole. "In the history of our Titan clan, it's not right to allow those who have the Alpha's blood to withdraw from the battle." Finally, Zilla stood up, continuing her family history to her father. "This is a law of the Hollow Earth that is passed down in the family and should never be broken-ah?"

Heisei delivered a karate chop to Zilla's head. "Go away!" he shouted, before turning his back.

"Always talking complicated things." He should be more like his brother, the star-eater. You know what, he does what he wants."

Zilla and the Gojira didn't say anything. Zilla even seemed... sad.]

Universe, Attack on Titan: Walls.

"Magic, Culture and Tradition! Hollow Earth, that must be the name of his kingdom. Ah-! Why did you hit him!" Hange complained to Heisei for hitting her son. "He was giving very useful information!"

Levi... the entire Survey Corps rolled their eyes.

"How can you not be excited, this bad guy recognizes his own children?!" Bertholdt asked.

"We can't judge everyone just because of one individual! Unless they are... the fanatics of the walls..." Hange murmured the last part angrily.

Universe, The Owl House: The Owl House.

Lilith felt a little sad for Zilla. "He was just following tradition." "There was no need to talk to him like that..."

Universe, Samurai Jack: Aku's Palace/Castle.

Aku, the ancient villain, doesn't know why, but he's started smiling. He senses that something interesting is going to happen, something very interesting.

Universe, the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy: Billy's house.

"Does anyone else feel that something bad is going to happen..." the Grim bones, for some reason. "Definitely, something bad is going to happen."

"What do you mean?" Mandy asked, but the screen already answered her.

["....?" Zilla began to feel a slight tingling in his scales.

He clutched his throat, choked by something, or rather the lack of something.

"Ugh... what is this?" The air disappeared!? The Gojiras that accompanied him fell to the ground unconscious from the pressure, a ghostly fire twisting around them.

"I knew this would happen." Heisei said without any concern for his son. His face even looked sleepy. "Is this... that threatening thing?"

With our favorite overlord, well, he's pretty pissed.

"This time I'll go." Vidarr didn't say anything, knowing that even from miles away Heisei was looking him directly in the eyes.

Heisei, with his arms crossed, said with an expressionless face, "Haven't arrived yet?" Almost as if he knew the overlord would hear him.

"Partial release..." Vidarr said as something happened to his body. From his black skin, several cracks opened, from which fire emerged. A mouth full of black teeth sprang from his face, along with a pair of horns.

All in the blink of an eye.

In an explosion of speed, he runs, leaving a trail of fire.]

Everyone was confused when they saw the Titans faint. They wondered why until a strong murderous intent emanated from the screens, filtered so they wouldn't faint.

Universe, One Piece: Marine Base.

"Is that Haki...?" Sengoku wondered.

"It's strong, but I don't think I've felt anything like it since that 'day'," said Garp.

Universe, BNHA: UA.

"That murderous intent... is stronger than his!" Iida sweated as he remembered the murder of heroes.

"This is terrifying!" Mineta shouted, trembling with fear.

"What are you talking about, extras? All Might would definitely beat these two!" Bakugou shouted in affirmation. But inside he was doubting a little.

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: With the Overlords.

Alastor slammed his hand on the table, startling his colleagues. "This transformation... this thirst for battle... this is a real demon, hahaha!"

"Well, well... it's strangely beautiful," said Velvetette, contemplating the transformation.

"Wow... does anyone else feel a warmth here?" asked Valentino with a playful smile, reminding the sages.

"What monstrous speed..." murmured Carmilla... it was already clear that the overlord from the "future" had demonstrated superior strength to the current overlords, but this happiness? That was frighteningly new.

[Hahaha, it seems you've found an interesting opponent, Mr. Muscles.

The overlord hears a voice telepathically while running, Vidarr doesn't like this at all.

A strange pentagram appeared beneath the titans.

"What is this?" asked the alpha, confused but fearless.

"I'll destroy it!" shouted Zilla, punching the ground.

Hahaha... what an interesting friend, Vidarr~

A strange-looking castle appeared before being replaced by a room inside.

Inside were several fire-like structures, two of which projected the face with a Heisei spindle. From one of them, a being made of shadows with a green face and a beard and eyebrows of fire watched everything with a smile.

Universe, Samurai Jack: Random Forest.

The samurai's eyes widened as he recognized the voice... "This has to be a joke..."

Everyone around the world recognized the voice of the Lord of Evil.

Universe, The Owl House: Emperor's Palace.

"A communication spell..." murmured one of the guards.

"I've never seen a pentagram or symbols like this before," said Vitimir, curiously.

"Not even the Titans can interfere..." said Darius, shocked. Although they hadn't seen these Titans use magic yet, perhaps this Gojira comen only uses brute force.

"Damn it, now there are two!" shouted Kikimora.

Eberwolf only growled.

"Another one of those overlords..." murmured the emperor, observing the being's appearance on the screen. These two do justice to their demonic appearance.

Universe, Samurai Jack: Aku's Palace/Castle.

"What do you mean, Overlord?! I should be the great Demon King, not a subordinate!" Aku shouted, dismayed.

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: With the Overlords.

"Great, another Alastor..." Vox murmured disdainfully.

Aku sighed; someone was insulting him.

["Aku, what are you planning..." Vidarr asked with obvious severity. He ran as fast as he could.

Ah! What? I only thought of helping my dear little brother. That's what a good brother does~.

"Are you trying to interfere in my battle?"

I understand you found a little friend and want to play with him, but it would be a great responsibility for me if you died from lack of knowledge. So for our mother's sake, I can't let you die.

With the Gojira, Heisei saw that the pentagram began to glow. "Oh, it's glowing, how mysterious."

"Great Alpha, that's an attack!" Zilla shouted worriedly.

Stop, Aku!!!

Vidarr ordered mentally with great fury, seeing the glow in the distance increase.

Aku's smile only widened. It was beautiful music.

Activation of the great magic circle! Teleportation!

In the blink of an eye, the titans vanished, just as Vidarr was about to attack. The overlord slid across the ground before braking with one hand.]

Universe, Samurai Jack:

The world stopped, breathed, sighed, and then screamed: What! Aku has a younger brother!?

"I have a brother?" Aku himself wondered. Aku knew he was just a piece of a great ancient darkness, but if other pieces existed... would that mean he had more siblings?

That's... kind of cool, he thought. Maybe they'll help him... kill the damned samurai!

Aku rolled his eyes at his younger brother's question. "I'm helping you, I'm sure our mommy didn't teach you that," he said with a feigned tone of offense.

Universe, Steven Universe: Outer Space.

Jasper banged his fists against the control panel. "You shouldn't interfere, this is a duel!"

Universe, One Piece: Whole Cake.

"Brother and sisters..." everyone looked at Katakuri. "Even though you are my siblings, never interfere in a duel between men."

"Yes, brother!"

"Whatever..."

Universe, Samurai Jack: Aku's Palace/Castle.

Aku smiled as he listened to his brother begging him not to mess with his toys. "Playtime's over, little brother."

The Godzillas across the multiverse roared with such offense. It was a duel between alphas!

Universe, Primal: Underworld.

The arms of the fire giant's throne broke under the pressure of his grip the moment the Gojiras disappeared. He stands up and then...

"Roooooaaaaaarrrrraaaaaaaaaaahhh!" A roar that could be heard throughout the underworld made all the demons put their hands to their heads trying to muffle the sound; many of them died.

It doesn't matter if Aku has the same fire in his veins, Aku, you damned bastard, I'll make sure you pay for your interference!

["Aku, where did you send them?" Vidarr asked, now back to his normal state.

"To the city of the 23rd overlord, that crazy cannibal," Aku replied.

In his castle, he rested his elbow on his lap, looking annoyed.

"I hate her... besides, she looked at me with disdain a few decades ago, so I looked for a way to teach her a lesson. But thanks to you, I found the perfect tool to play a prank. If she wins, it will be a benefit to us, but if your so-called friend Heisei wins, then... only I will be happy~ hahaha..."

"It doesn't matter if he's my older brother, this disrespect will have a high price."

Oh, how scary! I'm trembling! I better cut the connection before I pee myself.

But first...

A mocking smile appeared on Aku's face.

"I'm glad you're not hurt, Vidarr." Next time, choose your opponent better, I don't want to have to interfere again...

This world isn't what it used to be.

Well, I'm going to play with my new toys, hehe~.

"I wanted to put an end to this..." a voice flowed in the air. "Aku and his damn teleportation spell!" He roared angrily, but something made him reflect.]

Universe, Hazbin Hotel: Paradise.

"Just because she gave him a dirty look..." Emily murmured, how could she want someone to die just for that?

"They're demons, wait what?" Sarah said.

At the Hazbin Hotel.

"What a twisted prank..." Angel said, stealing a bottle from the alcoholic cat. "I didn't want to be that overlord."

With the overlords.

For some reason everyone looked at Vox, who was confused.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

"Nothing..." they all said.

"Cannibalistic lunatic..." Alastor murmured, he knew someone who fit that description. Which disappointed him. "You're still alive... damn..."

"What a mess... a family feud..." Velvetette said. "And we already noticed, the future really changed the world."

Universe, Samurai Jack: Aku's Palace/Castle.

"Aaaah!" Aku sighs with feigned sadness. "How can you speak of your brother like that? I was helping you, little brother!"

[This world is no longer what it once was. These words entered the mind of the flaming overlord.

Looking around, he saw the corpses of different creatures, demons or not, among the rubble of a battle.

The balance of power in this world has collapsed... in this mixed world... the demons are no longer considered the most powerful...

'However...'

Vidarr's flaming eyes analyzed the scene.

'It's strange. According to reports, there should be a base inhabited by humans here. There are almost no corpses of these hairless apes around here.'

I can sense traces of human magic here... a type of teleportation magic different from my older brother's.

Could it be...?

In this chaos where even the demons were swallowed... that human survived once again?!

The silhouettes of different beings and entities appeared behind him as he lost himself in thought.

He observes the sky. "...something in the northwest..." he flies with his arms crossed, following the human's trail. "I will kill you... hero..."]

Throughout the multiverse, there were many questions regarding the overlord's thoughts and the information they had seen together.

Charlie covered her mouth in horror at the sight of the corpses. How hadn't they noticed this!

"Demons... you were never the most powerful..." Adam murmured. "You're just a plague..."

"Merged world... hmmm, what does that mean?" Izuku wondered.

When the silhouettes appeared, many were surprised to recognize them.

Kaiju, gems, Umbrella Corporation's biological weapons, a prehistoric forest, robots of all kinds, a giant tree, the demons themselves and villains with many others in the background. The most prominent silhouettes were probably the leaders/champions of their species.

Heisei, the three Diamond matriarchs, Albert Wesker, a mass made of nano-machines with the Solver at its center along with Ultron, were the ones that stood out the most among them with a mystical air.

This world is not what it used to be...

What the hell is happening in the future?!

[A city was shown, Cannibal Town.

Heisei and his Gojiras fell into the center, in a kind of mansion garden.

Heisei, with his nonchalant expression, had half his body buried, Zilla fell in a superhero pose, and the other Gojiras destroyed parts of the garden, including statues and some trees.

"What have they done to us?" Heisei asked, confused.

"The landscape has changed... and what's that sweet smell?"

"Well, well... it seems we have rather rude visitors..." Seated on an expensive-looking sofa was a noble-looking woman with dark eyes and a polite smile, but full of teeth as sharp as knives. She was being served by a butler who appeared to her.

【Hellish world, army of the great demon king, 23rd overlord: Rosie.】

"Would you like to have tea with me without those ugly faces?"]

Everyone was enchanted by the Victorian-looking city and the crimson sky. It was beautiful, a pity it was in the possession of an overlord.

Some, gardeners so to speak, shuddered to see how the Gojiras had destroyed the garden. It was perfect, those monsters!

"That city of the crazy cannibal? I must admit, the view is quite beautiful." Aku praised, suddenly a sweet smell came from the screen. "What a delicious smell~..."

Many shared this thought, especially the fire giant.

Well, well... it seems we have rather rude visitors...

When she appeared, several beings and lords of darkness were enchanted, especially when they saw her smile.

"It's... enchanting..." Aku murmured, his mouth tight. "A pity she looked at me with disdain."

But there was someone who wasn't very happy. Alastor definitely wasn't expecting to see his jailer alive.

But then he smiled when he saw how the Gojira... You know, I think Aku won't be the only happy one...

The Queen of Cannibals vs. the King of Gojiras! Who devours whom?

Maybe I'll write a sequel.

Chapter Text

Warning readers, there may be translation or spelling errors in this story.

This is just a test; I'm seeing which style appeals to you and to me.

Author: I have an idea that some readers requested for a reaction story, basically consisting of Steven Universe vs. a certain DC character, one who will certainly appear in Supergirl. So I thought I could maybe use the typical world-merger fanfic for this story, but as if it were a shared universe.

There are already examples of a fanfic like this on Wattpad, and it's a reaction fanfic. ArmandoVignanelli wrote it (I hope I spelled his name right), so maybe I'll focus on that in this fanfic.

I also have an idea to do a Monster Hunter AU using this for a reaction fanfic, where we'll see monsters inspired by and based on the characters.

Interestingly, I've already drawn monsters inspired by Amphibia's Calamities.

So the story we'll see will be project-gore, and less violent than the name suggests. I hope you like it, because I want to see which story I focus on.

Just so you know, in this story the power scale was... well, it was on vacation, so to speak. So don't take it too seriously if you don't know if a city-level character (as they say) can beat a planetary-level character.
_______________________________________________________________

You know, life has become almost normal. Throughout the multiverse known so far, various screens or giant screens have appeared around various worlds, floating above cities, kingdoms, and things of that nature.

When they appeared, they generated massive panic. Everyone thought fearfully: Were they weapons? Was it perhaps divine punishment? Was it an attack from another kingdom?

What everyone knows is that after months of waiting for something... nothing happened. This only generated discomfort, more fear, and of course, madness in some cases. There are those worlds that simply don't care, since situations like this are commonplace.

Oh, don't forget the madmen who want to use this as a weapon, etc.!

I haven't forgotten, I'm sure the reader has already concluded that... right, reader? I don't need to explain, do I?

Let's continue.

The screens just stayed there, static in the air, until one day they began to transmit something new to these worlds.

"New," haha! Good one! You all already know how this works.

On-screen.

[Everything was dark, there was nothing, not even a glimmer of light.

"Are you sure it's safe?" a distorted voice asks as the darkness disappears like a mist.

The camera pans over a forest, showing an armored cargo truck moving on a dark dirt road. It's being driven by two "men" in black military uniforms, wearing gas masks with red lenses.

"Of course, it's harmless," said the one at the wheel without taking his eyes off the road, his voice also distorted. His partner's eyes were focused on his cell phone.

"I heard this thing is All Might level..."]

Off-screen.

When the screens started broadcasting something, many were confused, only to be startled by the sudden voice, but that was only in the more medieval and primitive worlds. Most were just wondering if the voice was speaking to them.

When the path appeared, many protagonists from isekai worlds had a thousand-yard stare on their faces.

Universe: Seven Deadly Sins, Kingdom of Britannia.

"What a strange carriage..." Arthur murmured.

Meliodas's bar.

"That carriage moves without horses!" said the young Princess Elizabeth, impressed.

"What could make that thing move?" Merlin wondered, interested. She raised an eyebrow upon seeing the customs of the metal "carriage."

"What strange clothes," King said sleepily.

Ban... Ban was lying in a corner, completely drunk, next to a certain pig.

"Nivel All Might?" "Escanor repeated in his daytime form. "He's definitely not on my level!" That was a certainty on his part.

Universe: The Boys, Tower of the Seven.

"What the hell does that mean?" asked an irritated Homelander. "Is that the name of some hero? Because if it is, it's a really shitty name."

All Might level? The multiverse wonders what that means. What does that mean!? But for a certain universe, that was unthinkable.

Universe: My Hero Academia.

At the Hero Public Safety Commission, the Madam President raises an eyebrow in question. Okay, they're showing a Prime being taken to Tartarus, but there are many things that don't fit, like the uniform of these agents, and especially the path.

"All Might level?!" shouted one of the members of the high commission in fear.

And this "All Might level" thing... there are only two individuals with that ability, AFO and that Nomu from the USJ... but one is supposedly dead (although there's suspicion that he's alive) and the other is already in Tartarus.

So, however strange it may seem, if the screen is showing something from your world, maybe it's a new villain. Even though she doesn't believe that's it, because it's ridiculous, she knows it's strangely familiar to those fanfics.

Around the world of BNHA, there were only people defying that claim; nobody was on All Might's level. That screen was definitely a villain's trick to demoralize society, a villain's fanfic. All Might is invincible.

Ua, class 1-a.

"All Might level..." Bakugou spits. "That's the biggest lie I've heard today."

On-screen.

["All Might level? What kind of nerdy term is that?" The agent rolls his eyes beneath his mask. "All Might level... um, if I turn into a rock I'll find five people at All Might's level."

"Stop joking, man."

"I'm serious. Nowadays anyone is All Might or Superman level! Whatever nerdy term you use! And what does it matter if a bald millionaire knows your weakness?"

"But it's a rare gem!" shouted his partner, trying to argue.

"Rare is my butt! My cousin had one like that before she found out she had an 80% risk of getting cancer." The driver says, before sighing. "Thank God she's healthy."]

Off-screen.

"All Might... sounds like a pretentious name," Lex says, drinking coffee.

"I agree, sir," says Mercy Graves, his bodyguard. Lex spits out his coffee upon hearing the part about the bald millionaire. "It could be anyone..."

Hall of Justice.

"It's definitely Lex," says Flash/Barry Allen, eating some donuts. "There's almost no one who fits that description better than him."

Many of the other heroes laughed, except for a certain bat.

"Come on guys, it could be anyone," says Superman/Clark jokingly.

Black Canary rolls her eyes in amusement. "It's not like there are hundreds of bald guys who have something against you," she points mockingly.

When the "agents" talked about, obviously, kryptonite, everyone laughed at how truly right the driver was.

Rare is my ass... for some reason Batman and Superman felt a sense of déjà vu. Universe: bnha, class 1-b.

"Rare stone that causes cancer..." Monoma murmured, almost sounding like a fool. "But what kind of quirk has such a specific weakness? And what kind of name is Superman?"

"It's good that your cousin is alright." Ibara said, with a light illuminating her, leaving everyone very confused. Where did that light come from!?

Random dark alley.

To say that Stain was indignant was an understatement. "This is heresy! There's no one like All Might!" He roared, startling some rats and a guy who was passing by.

On-screen.

[The screen shows that the road's headlights illuminate an extremely large man, wearing a black overcoat with armored parts. We only see his back, but we can see that he is bald and his skin is bluish.

The man clenches his gloved fists.]

Off-screen.

For many races, seeing the man on the screen sparked curiosity; he didn't resemble any known humanoid species, except in the D&D universe.

For some, it didn't matter; large or small, he wasn't a threat to them. That's the thought of many of them. But someone easily recognized that threat.

Universe: Resident Evil, location unknown.

Sitting in a chair in what appears to be a cafeteria, Leon S. Kennedy drops his drink on the floor.

"Shit..." was what escaped his lips as memories returned to his mind.

On-screen.

["But what-?!" Those were the driver's last words.

Like a football player, the giant slammed its shoulders against the truck cab.

Everything went dark for everyone.
.
.
.
Disoriented, the other agent wakes up. One of the lenses of his mask was broken, revealing his eye widening as he saw the driver's crushed body.

He couldn't even scream when a gloved hand grabbed him from behind. He was violently pulled from the cab.

He screamed in pain as the giant began to squeeze his head, turning his face to look into his eyes. Cold, lifeless eyes.

A Character Introduction Panel appeared beside the giant.

【Biological weapon: Tyrant model 1-103, number 5.】

]

Off-screen.

Everyone jumped in fright when the giant and the truck collided. The darkness left many confused, thinking the transmission had ended, but when it returned, well... Most parents covered their children's eyes when the bloodied corpse of the driver was shown.

Some screamed in fright when the giant man pulled the agent out of the wrecked vehicle.

Universe: bnha, League of Villains bar.

"Those eyes..." Dr. Garaki stroked his mustache. "They're just like my Nomus. The number 5 stamped on the shoulder, so it must mean there are more." The old scientist didn't like the fact that there was such a pathetic copy of his greatest creations.

"That suit... why don't our Nomus have such brilliant suits!?" Shigaraki shouted.

"Because they don't need them... unlike our friend on the screen," said a voice through the TV behind the bartender. "That's not a normal suit... it's a power limiter."

"Wait, are you serious?" Shigaraki asked.

"As serious as I could be," his sensei replied. "You asked me who created such a thing."

"Why something like this? Wouldn't it be easier to keep this thing at full power?"

"Because, young master, whoever created this thing doesn't have control over its full power." This time it was the scientist who answered with an arrogant smile. "My creations don't need a suit to limit their power, because I already have total control over them."

Wow, the teachers' lounge.

"Those eyes...is it another type of Nomu?" Midnight asked, shuddering. "It gives me chills just looking at it."

"Is it my imagination or is it taller than the Nomu?" Present Mic asked.

"Size doesn't mean power...but all we know is that it's dangerous and if it's another Nomu it probably has more than one quirk."

Everyone gasped in horror as they watched the lifeless-eyed giant squeeze the man's head.

"Shit..." Toshinori, aka All Might, clenched his fists helplessly. His heroic instinct screamed at him to save the man, even without knowing who he was. Something he shares with many heroes across known universes.

When the Character Introduction Panel appeared... Okay... now that caught the attention of many. Especially those with less than good intentions. A biological weapon. A literally human weapon capable of destroying a truck could be quite useful in their exercises.

For more magical worlds, those connected to worlds of life or necromancy, they could somehow sense that this biological weapon conveyed a feeling of being both alive and dead at the same time. With almost no trace of life, just a shell.

On-screen.

["Stop!" commanded a woman's voice. The Tyrant stopped squeezing as ordered. "Turn him towards me." She ordered, and again he obeyed.

The agent was forced to face a woman in combat gear that made her look like a secret agent, with an Umbrella Corporation symbol and a slash across her chest. Two blades on her back and two pistols at her waist. And short, dark, almost black, castle-colored hair.

She had a serious face as she looked at the bloodied man in front of her.

【Biological weapon: Alice Abernathy.】

"I... you..." the agent gasped in horror. "I thought you were a rumor..."

The woman's eyes widened. "Yes, and Wesker was dead." She replied, before bringing her face even closer to his. She removed his mask, revealing the face of someone in their 20s, clean-shaven and bald.

"I thought they'd send someone special..." the woman's words confused the agent, especially the tone of disappointment. But his job turned to horror when he saw another Tyrant appear beside her. The suit was the same as the first, with the only differences being that this one wore black metal gloves with purple tips and a mask with teeth and horns with purple details, no visible eyes.

The woman turned her back to him, walking towards the truck container. But not before giving an order. "You can crush it."

The cameras focused on the man's face of despair as the Tyrant placed both hands on the man's head, only to cut to the woman; it was possible to see the man's body contorting as she walked with the masked Tyrant following her.

"Please no! Wait! Stop! Please! oh my—!" her screams were replaced by the sound of a watermelon carcass being crushed.]

Off-screen.

Universe: Resident Evil, location unknown.

"Strange... I feel like I've seen this woman before..." said Jill Valentine, with a slight sense of déjà vu. And for some reason, it's not a very nice one.

Universe: Marvel, New York, Avengers Tower.

"Another biological weapon, only this one seems more... alive," said Captain America.

"It seems to be intelligent. Maybe it's an attempt at a super soldier," theorized Dr. Bruce. "This Tyrant looks almost like a smaller Hulk."

"A possible copy of Black Widow and a skinny Hulk that obeys her... I think the universe is trying to say something?" commented Tony Stark with an amused smile. "Oh, they even have a Gothic Abomination."

Black Widow rolls her eyes. "It's not time to joke, Tony."

"I was just trying to lighten the mood."

Universe: BNHA, UA, Class 1-A.

"Please stop! You don't need to do that!" protested Iida.

The students turned their faces away upon hearing the crushing sound; they were grateful they couldn't see the state of the man's head. This didn't make the fact that they couldn't save someone any less frustrating.

On-screen.

[The first tyrant throws the body to the ground.

Alice stood facing the container doors. "Open."

The masked tyrant forcefully, yet somehow sophisticatedly, opened the doors with its claws.

The woman smiled, seeing what was inside.

At the back of the container, chained to the wall by special chains, was a humanoid with dark skin covered in scars, a bodybuilder's physique, and a yellow, bird-like beak, but with teeth and an exposed brain.

【Biological weapon: the nomu.】

The nomu opened its eyes. Eyes without light, but showing madness.

"It's more impressive than in the reports," Alice said. "Let's take this crow home."

The shadow of the masked tyrant covers the nomu's body, obscuring the screen.]

Off-screen.

Universe: DC, Hall of Justice.

"What an ugly thing." Green Arrow murmured.

"Looks like a crow on steroids!" Elongated Man commented.

Universe: The Boys, Tower of the Seven.

"Is this thing on the level of All Might?" A-Train tilted his head.

"A featherless chicken on steroids?" Homelander murmured before grinning arrogantly. "This thing is so ugly."

But it would be a good marketing opportunity if I had a villain with a crow theme.

A monster crow against the eagle of liberty.

Black Noir draws a pigeon with a muscular body and short jeans, showing it to everyone.

"It's exactly the same!" Queen Maeve said in agreement.

"Nomu? What the hell does that mean?" The Deep said.

Universe: BNHA, Hero Public Safety Commission.

"Shit..." one of the executives murmured.  "They recovered it." It's the Nomu from the USJ attack."

"That thing should be in Tartarus!" exclaims another.

"And now they've got it." said the beloved president with a sigh. "Three possible Nomus, three bio-weapons." Another idea comes to her mind. Alice doesn't seem to be like the Nomu or the Tyrants; she commands them, so there's something there, maybe a quirk made for this. If we can control her, will we have control over future Nomus?

She sighs in disappointment; after all, this is another universe, and no one has yet been born with a dimensional travel quirk. In other words, it's an opportunity she won't have to improve the heroes' arsenal to get rid of certain individuals in society...

All for the peace and good of heroic society... obviously...

Universe: Monster Hunter, Unknown Forest.

An old hunter felt a chill down his spine, something he hadn't felt for any monster since he was young, when the Nomu opened its eyes.  This new, maddening look came over him...

Bio-weapons, he'd heard stories of ancestors tinkering with that sort of thing to the point of hardening the ancient dragons, but he'd never heard of human monsters. The tyrants, the Nomu, and Alice herself were unlike anything he'd ever heard in any story or myth from his world.

Perhaps the first hunters were similar, but the veteran had the impression that they weren't made to kill only monsters. Unless All Might is the name of some species in this universe.

Which wasn't true... in this reality at least...

And then there was the other unknown, the masked tyrant. For some reason, his mask strongly resembled representations of an old-world dragon.

gore-magala.

Off-screen.

[A series of difficult-to-understand image flashes appear at a very accelerated speed along with people's screams.

A man wakes up gasping in his bed, sweating profusely.

【Federal Agent: Leon S. Kennedy.】

"Damn first day..." Leon said, getting up and throwing off the blanket, revealing his muscles.

In another scene, Leon was walking around the cell, sitting on a large sofa in front of a television. He picks up the remote and starts flipping through channels.

"ALL MIGHT—"

"Superman just finished—"

"Godzilla vs—"

"Spider m—!"

"The waves of violence are—"
"Rescue of—"

"The president's daughter—"

"How to cook a good yian kut ku egg? Learn how to make the perfect preparation!"  "Finally something relaxing," said a humanoid cat dressed as a chef, while figures of yian kut kus chibis and omelets appeared around him.

"Finally something relaxing." He sprawled out, letting it all hang on the channel. That is, of course, before his cell phone rang. "What is it?!"]

Off-screen.

Many were confused, as they had thought the broadcast was over, but upon seeing Leon, they wondered if this was the man's nightmare? Was he the driver who miraculously survived?! They only assumed it was a scene-cutting trick.

Many had hearts in their eyes or red faces upon seeing Leon shirtless.

"Wow, I think I could wash my clothes on that abdomen," Midnight drooled.

"Beautiful as always," Ada Wong complimented. "Are you going to get into trouble?" they wondered amusedly.

As the scenes on TV scrolled by, many managed to see things from their own worlds! Heroes, villains, monsters, companies, and even famous news channels.

"Omelet..." Goku imagined, his mouth watering.

Everyone laughed when they saw that the federal agent's moment of peace was interrupted by a cell phone ringing.

And so today's proceedings conclude...

Will they continue?...

Perhaps...

This story (reaction fanfic) and others come from another platform, but I posted them here in case anyone wants to use them.

Chapter Text

Primitive Theory, Pilot Chapter: blood.

Dagobah Beach was once a garbage dump, full of trash from beginning to end. That is, until the number one hero chose this place to train his apprentice nine months ago. The beach is now... reasonable. There's still trash here and there, but it's better than at the beginning.

Toshinori watches the sun set over the sea while Izuku gets ready after a long day of training. All Might's eyes close, tilting his head.

Right in the sun, All Might swears he sees something like a stain there, as if something is trying to get his attention.

"Toshinori-san?"

The hero nods before addressing his apprentice. The boy seemed to be looking curious.

"Yes, young Midoriya?"

"A-Are you alright?" Izuku asked. "You seem... distracted."

The professional hero's gaze turns to the horizon where the march had been, seeing that it has vanished. "Nothing... it's nothing, my young friend."

Moon, blood... agony and death are all that can be seen.

Shattered bodies of young and old scattered across rocks carved like a stage, with various symbols that have lost their meaning over the ages. Wherever you look, there's a body; wherever you step, there's a body.

Pale-skinned women in semi-nude bat masks were spreading more blood everywhere, visible by torches of green and blue fire. They laughed and danced over the corpses.

A young samurai in black armor and his companions had their faces contorted beneath their oni masks. These deaths were dishonorable, but they can do nothing about them. They have orders to watch and ensure that no one interferes.

But that doesn't mean he has to like it.

They laughed like children in the rain. Blood flowed into a pool where a statue of a horned giant with no visible mouth was submerged up to its neck.  Upon returning, he saw other women kneeling, but these had greenish skin covered in warts and tattered dresses, singing songs in an indecipherable language.

The samurai saw that all of them had their iron collars perfectly preserved around their necks, and the blue gleam in their eyes was still there. Perfect.

Kneeling beside them was a thin giant in a black tunic with gold details and a hood that hid his face; he had enormous horns, almost a perfect imitation of the statue.

Singing louder than the witches, his hands ignited with blue fire. Blood began to bubble, forming symbols instead of bubbles.

The chorus of the giant and the witches grew louder and more sickly, their voices distorted beyond the natural.

The moon bleeds, staining the night sky red. The bat-women scream in euphoria.

The samurai watched everything in astonishment; even with his training, he was truly surprised. Looking at the older members, he noticed they were relaxed, as if his blood wasn't magically red.

The giant shouted one last chant, causing the clouds to distort into a vortex with the moon at its center like an eye.

Another moon rose above the blood moon, this one more ghostly, overlapping the first and merging into one. And then... everything was normal.

That was disappointing, thought the samurai, expecting something more. But confusion arose when he heard laughter coming from the giant.

He laughed with pleasure at the bodies of the burned witches at his feet. With his arms tightly clasped, he rose, stepping on the charred bodies, roaring with happiness.

Everyone present, including the young man, shouted with excitement upon understanding the meaning.

The ritual worked!

You know, nobody in this era is surprised by quirks; they're the explanation for almost everything in the normal world. Giant monsters? Quirk! UFOs? Quirk! Someone ate your homework? That's an old excuse, my friend...

But... I don't know... let's say that after the sports festival something small happened, you know, a tiny thing... like...

Like the emergence of a huge patch of jungle replacing Dagobah beach, and not just here. In various parts of the planet, several beaches and lakes were replaced by different ecosystems that don't match their regions.

Without warning, without a light show. It just appeared out of nowhere. And as soon as it appeared, there were already reports of strange things, the basics: reports of disappearances, videos, photos, and sightings of unidentified beings.

All in one day!

On the internet, in the media around the planet in general, people are already discussing and demanding some explanation.

Izuku was already up to date with these news stories and for some reason couldn't stop reading them aloud!

It was already giving Gran Torino a headache.

But he should have listened more carefully because today when he woke up for a walk he ended up encountering something unusual.

Beep-beep-beep—SMASH!

A car was crushed like a tin can under the weight of a huge, thick paw like a tree trunk. A colossus with a neck as wide as a swan, a body as muscular as an elephant, and a short tail. Its skin seemed to have the texture of an elephant's, petrol blue in color, only with a light-colored belly and a red tone in a prominent crest on its head.

A dinosaur, or rather, dinosaurs. Behind the large one, there were others of the same size, with a slightly smaller crest and without the red color. Females with whelps.

The male creature poked the vehicle before kicking it away and continuing on its way with its herd.  Civilians filmed everything from a safe distance, as recommended by the heroes escorting the dinosaurs through the streets.

People murmured as they watched the creatures move, many trying to understand what they were.

One child even asked if they were some kind of villain group.

"What...?" Ignoring this, Torino, in civilian clothes, was speechless seeing the animals. "If the blond guy sees this, he'll freak out."

The heroes followed the creatures, unsure what to do besides clearing the way for people.

"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Your eyes, your eyes like rubies. Your teeth white as pearls... everything about you is... beautiful."

"Rrrrr..."

"What am I seeing?... what am I supposed to be seeing?" Naomasa Tsukauchi, the detective, really knows what to say.

Not even a police officer knew what to say.

Before his eyes he sees a huge lizard, sedated, with some legs running and a muzzle on its head, being hugged by his blond friend. The lizard was white with red eyes, prominent jaws, short forelimbs, large, thick legs, and a long tail.

"Naomasa, do you know what I have here?"

"A skeleton without survival instincts making compliments that violate all animal rights?"

Toshinori rolled his eyes, pulling away from the hug. "A Tyrannosaurus Rex, judging by the size I think it's an albino female, but I'm not sure about its sex. My grandfather would know, he was very good at that."

"We can't draw conclusions yet, my friend. Until we do the analysis, this thing could be an animal with a quirk or a Nomu, or the result of the quirk that brought these forests," said Tsukauchi.

"Yeah... he has a valid point," agreed All Might. "In this world there are many types of quirks, however... no one with a quirk of such magnitude has ever been recorded."

"If it were a villain, it would have made a lot of noise," said Toshinori. "Maybe an accident?"

The detective shook his head. "I think it's unlikely, but not impossible. We need more investigation." Taking his cell phone out of his pocket, he sighed as he read a message about another unidentified creature. "Another one appeared nearby and..." his eyes widened. "You have to see this."

Ryukyu was flying over the forest that replaced the forests that replaced the waters in the hustle and bustle of ships, when she found something... unusual, even for the masters of the situation.

She found the ship and crew! Well, their pieces...

They were scattered everywhere. Torsuses, arms, legs, heads. Organs and everything that exists in the human body was scattered across a holiday cruise ship.

She landed on the deck seeing, honestly, the same thing, only worse. Symbols, engravings, and bodies positioned artistically were what she saw.

This definitely wasn't the work of an animal...

It all just made her nauseous. Some sick villain must be taking advantage of the situation to cause such a massacre.

She saw small flying dinosaurs eating the corpses without fear of her, one of them turning around with an eye in its mouth, swallowing only to continue eating.

She wanted to vomit, but upon seeing that, she noticed something she hadn't seen before.  It didn't seem to have any battle scars or marks from any quirk; it's as if they were just ripped apart in mid-air. Either the villain was fast or had a quirk that killed them in mid-air like a virus, meaning the bastard tore the bodies apart afterward.

Ryukyu growled. "Only a day has passed... and this is the first one I've encountered..." Feeling guilty is normal. A glint in the corner of his eye catches his attention.

A spear... a single spear with a black skull and horns flag attached to it was right on top of the cruiser's cabin. Below, written in blood, were the words—

"All Might is just words." Said a giant, black as a shadow, with blue eyes, wearing an outfit similar to that of a Greek philosopher. He had no visible mouth and was muscular, with a single horn on the right side of his head. He opened his mouth, full of black teeth, politely eating a fillet, swallowing it to continue. "I don't know what's in it, I don't know what's in these heroes in general." He took another bite of his meat, groaning with pleasure. "But the cuisine is wonderful."

"Poor thing with the words, brother," warned another giant with two horns, only more feminine with a body made for fighting. She wore a red skirt with a side slit along with a sleeveless shirt. On her legs was a patch of white skin, the color of a human leg.

"This could be our future father." She joked with a hint of seriousness, only to eat a human leg in a less polite way than her brother.

"Disgusting..."

"I agree," said a third, larger, male giant, wearing a more... modern outfit, so to speak. "How rude. This is setting a bad example for Dabi!"

"I don't care..." said Dabi, a little smaller and thinner than the other three, but with the same horns, blue eyes, and the lack of a visible mouth. He was wearing a dark blue overcoat with a black skull print on the sides. But contrary to his appearance, he was eating a chocolate sundae in a very fancy glass.

In the distance, four waiters and a waitress trembled with fear, and how could they not be afraid? In front of them were four monsters sitting at a table with piles of bodies around them!

They're going to die, right? Not a single hero has come yet... they've already lost hope, after all, their ship was very close to the Costa Rica, which has already been replaced by arid land.

No one will save them.  They're going—

A snap of the one-horned giant's fingers pulls them from their reverie.

"Waiter."

"Ah... yes? Lord...?"

They're going to die! They're going to kill us!!! We're going to be their dessert! I have children, please someone help me!

"Could you give us the bill?"

"All might" is just words...

That's what was written in blood on a plaque attached to the Statue of Liberty's neck. The great blue woman is now bathed in red, mostly in her eyes and hands. At her feet were piles and piles of unrecognizable corpses. They could be children, old people, adults, young people—it's impossible to know; what remained were remains being devoured by flying lizards and seagulls.

The local heroes vomit, cry, trying to scare away the creatures while specialists collect and investigate the pieces.

Star and Stripe only clench their fists until they bleed. How could something like this happen?

All Might is just words...

This has been suddenly appearing around the world, with the same massacre, whether on ships or at tourist spots, always piles of bodies...

All Might is just words...

This isn't the message of an ordinary villain or group of villains, no... They were so quick in their execution that nobody saw them, like ghosts before cameras.

All Might...

Whoever they were...

Just words...

They aren't afraid to declare war against the number 1, the symbol of peace.

No, against the modern world.

The primitive vs the modern... who will come out on top?

To be continued...?

Things that were cut:

Look, a lot of things were cut, mainly because I lost the original draft on my Wattpad. In the original version, the Primal world would be a kind of dark continent of the My Hero Academia world, with a perpetual storm acting as a barrier. A larger number of dinosaur and flying and marine reptile species would appear in this pilot chapter, with some species only being mentioned.

The merging of the worlds was supposed to happen during the Hero Killer arc.

Another thing was that there would be a part focused on Izuku's group of friends in this universe: Setsuna, Koda, and Azula (the only original character besides the villains who doesn't have a quirk), and Azula is just a nickname given by her friends.

This group itself would have different personalities from their original counterparts, and here Izuku wouldn't see Bakugou as much as a friend. Koda would be a little braver and perhaps have a small crush on Azula.

In this universe, All Might didn't kill AFO, no... he pulverized the guy's body until it became a suit full of flesh and blood. This kind of changed our smiling blond to the point that he doesn't consider himself a symbol of peace, and made him investigate other heroes more, to the point where he discovers things about Endeavor.

Their relationship would never be the same again... well, outside of being maids at least.

But what led Toshinori to do this? Well, AFO not only killed the woman he considered his mother but also destroyed his grandfather's museum, the first to help him understand that he could be a hero even without a Quirk.

And it's also responsible for Toshinori being a dinosaur nerd, something I won't rule out if I continue with this fanfic.

Fun fact: Toshinori's grandfather had the same name as one of the protagonists of Jurassic Park; he even dressed like one. End of fun fact.

There was a whole part that took place in the past with All Might at four or eight years old, where his grandfather was trying to cheer him up. The grandfather tries to take him to a special room, but the hallway was super dark and Toshinori was afraid of the dark, so his grandfather's hand was extended, saying the phrase he would later use, "Come out of the dark," and he grabbed it... and that's when we go to Deku's childhood!

It wouldn't be until the end that they would see Toshinori and his grandfather in a room full of fossils and dinosaur statues, but the most important thing was a large statue of a armored man whose only remaining features were his smile, fighting a monstrous version of a Spinosaurus, and that's where the chapter would end.

Of course, there would also be an invasion of armored dinosaurs with armed samurai in place of the Nomus.

One of the ideas was that in this chapter, All Might would face one of these demons/oni, their father to be more precise.

I can't forget that spear and fang were already going to appear at the beginning.

There's still a lot more, but I found these to be the most essential.

Information:

This might be considered a spoiler, but since I'm not sure if this story will go ahead, it doesn't hurt if someone wants to use it.

The Son of the Black Moon:

He would theoretically be the main villain of this fanfic, being the principal antagonist of All Might, to whom he would be very similar in human form. His fire giant form would be very similar to that of the fire giant he is said to be the son of.

I can't give many details because I haven't quite decided how this concept came about yet.

But in terms of personality, I would say he would be something between Conan and Toshinori. Being the symbol of peace for his people. And like his father, he can also transform people into blue fire giants called oni by his people. But only those deemed worthy through rituals and brutal challenges can be worthy of his power.

Thanks to his strength and his words, he managed to command the most violent and savage clans under his banner, along with others.

He is an honorable warrior and enjoys facing warriors whose heart is driven by heroic intentions, even if they kill him. This honor can be quite ambiguous depending on the occasion.

The Onis:

They are basically the Viking chieftain in his fire giant form, only with blue fire and horns. We only have 10 of the older ones and 4 younger ones, including Dabi. Each one is for a top hero. They all have different goals and objectives, but they all respect their father. Their only weakness is if you have some kind of enchanted weapon or if you land a direct hit to the heart.

The Onis are the generals of the main armies of the League of Villains since their father is in command in Afo's place.

And yes, Dabi would be with them; I haven't decided on the story of how that happened yet.

The People of the Black Moon:

These are the main enemies, including giants, samurai, and heavily armed dinosaurs, among others.

They are the primary force, specializing in hunting to the point of giving even experienced heroes trouble. Many heroes end up being killed by them due to their lack of quirk.

Something I didn't mention is that these people and the son of the Black Moon have been watching the heroic society for years, observing their technology and improving it for use during the war.

Furthermore, they possess something the heroes lack: magic.

The Bat Women Tribe:

You know those women who appear in this chapter? They are basically a more degenerate version of the Toga, to the point that it frightens even the Toga itself. The origin of this tribe may not be revealed in the story, but clues may appear.  They are the most violent and sadistic tribe, torturing their victims in the name of a certain White Lady, which is the name of an entity and a title inherited by the tribe's matriarch.

They are also the only clan known to tame giant bats.

They are so insane that they fight superior enemies without regard for their own lives. And Toga ends up in the middle of them.

They are undoubtedly the ones who will have the bloodiest chapters.

But what will this story be about? Why do the Children of the Black Moon want to fight against All Might and the heroic society so badly? You and the characters will have this question, as the idea is something you discover along with them.

The focus of the story is to find out how long modern heroic morality can last before succumbing to barbarity? How many characters will throw everything to the wind and decide that it's better to kill all enemies instead of dialoguing? When will they succumb to their survival instincts? That's the focus.

Many of the characters in My Hero Academia will become more aggressive as the story progresses, like Momo, who will probably evolve into a brutal character after seeing so many dying at the hands of people who don't stop to think before killing.

But the reverse will also happen, with characters from the Primal world taking on modern societal aspects, both good and bad.

As for the animals, I really want to give them importance so that they aren't just monsters among themselves.

Besides the dialogues between the oni and the heroes, especially the son of the dark moon and All Might, about their concept of a hero.

The barbarian hero or the modern hero, which is correct?

Species that appear in this chapter:

• Dreadnoughtus.
• Albino Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• Dimorphodon.
