All the Light we Cannot See

Chapter 14

“Andrew! Georgy got words from the Americans. They said they’re sending in some planes to pick you and Andrew up.”

Max rubbed his eyes awake and saw Kostya standing in front of him. Max looked outside the truck, still in the desert. But the name “Andrew” shook him awake.

“Wait, Andrew is alive?!” Max couldn’t believe it, there was a huge crack in the medic tent. Surely he couldn’t have survived that.

Kostya nodded, “The other Soviets that survived were able to take him out before the crack. But unfortunately we can’t locate them.” A large rumble happened outside, the truck shook with so much force that an unfortunate soldier sitting near the open fell out.

“Ostanavlivat'sya!” The officer banged on the driver's back window. The truck then pulled to a heavy stop, having the other truck behind them almost hit them. Max was too weary and confused to say a thing as he hugged his vest tight. Max heard the officer shouting to the rest of the troops and they got out of the truck, Max assumed he might as well follow Kostya.

“What’s happening?” Max asked as he looked at the unhappy dark sky.

“Sir Aleksandr told us to get out, but we do not know why.” Kostya replied back as he cocked his rifle ready. The other soldiers did as well.

“PRIKHODIT!” A large explosion came down on a truck, the pieces flying around in pieces like a strong tornado. Max pushed Kostya down to the sand before they could get hurt, he clinged to his helmet as he laid flat next to their truck.

“We gotta get moving!” Kostya said, then ran off to get into the truck along with other soldiers. Max was about to get in as well when he saw a wounded Soviet soldier crying for help. He quickly ran toward the soldier and dragged him back to cover for the medics to help. Help quickly arrived and Max got back on the truck. Unfortunately the horror wasn’t done yet. Shots rang around them, Max could hear creatures roaring in the distance but close enough to hear.

The truck suddenly roared awake as it sped up in the sand. Max could see the T-34 mercilessly fall behind to the explosion and dinosaurs. Max then felt like something had knocked him out.

“Is this what you want Max? Death and terror?” Max tried to say something but something was holding him tight. “You leave me no choice. Max Lain.” The whisper came back, “Don’t worry, once you wake up your misery will end, so will your “Russian” friends.” Max wanted to shout, Russian? The Russian Empire was overthrown by communism during the first Great War, according to his father, who was also an American soldier who fought in it. Then suddenly he opened wide awake.

“EVERYONE! OUT!” Their officer shouted in English. Everyone with confusement, poured out, in the distance Max could see a large snowy whatever creature coming their way. As Max took a step back he felt his foot was on a different texture. Snow. The Snow Titan, it came out of nowhere in Max’s mind. And plus if it was the name for that large creature it surely didn’t look or sound nice. The Ice Titan threw a large icicle at them which unfortunately hitted a T-34 that wasn’t fast enough to shoot back. The uproaring flame seems to upset the Ice Titan even more.

“UKROYTES'!” Shouted their officer. Everyone scrambled and ran for cover, Max dived into a foxhole with Kostya right next to him. “OTSTUPLENIYE! Nam pora idti!”

Max kept his head down until all the explosions and shouting lowered. Kostya was the first one to peek out of the foxhole, who then looked at Max with a nod. When Max peeked outside the foxhole he could see the Ice Titan looking down at them, satisfied with everything destroyed. All their vehicles and tanks were destroyed, and they were all stranded on traveling on foot.

The Ice Titan took its last look and grumbled before turning around and jumped behind the mountains, which shook the ground. Soon after it left soldiers came out of its foxholes, some were injured while the rest were fine. Medics were scrambling around the place, doing their best to keep the injured and wounded alive. Max’s Officer was telling orders to his men while he talked to the radio man. The officer cursed and looked at the mountains, which left the mark of the Ice Titan.

The blazing fire provided a source of warmth to the cold soldiers, who were gathering around the fire, trying to get as much heat as possible. Kostya nudged Max on the shoulder and pointed to a group of soldiers lined up by rows while their commander shouted something to them. As Max walked closer he could hear the commander speaking, while Kostya translated for him.

He said an unknown base lay a few miles away from here, which the commander would send a handful of soldiers there, including Max. The last two surviving trucks which were still badly damaged were being loaded up by machine gunners, infantry, medics, and assault. There were no tanks to escort them safely through the snow as the minor damaged ones were being repaired. Max looked outside of the truck, a pack of wolves was following them, out of sight but fast enough to catch up to them. There were around 10-13 of them, but the sizes of the wolves were unusual.

Max ignored the wolves as he looked at the soundless soldiers, still traumatized by what just happened. In the distance Max could hear screamings of wounded soldiers, crying and saying prayers. When they finally arrived and got unloaded, one soldier cried aloud.

“AAAAH!!”

“W-what's happening?” Max asked, as he looked around. Suddenly shots rang out through the air, and more screaming came.

“Run… RUN!!” Kostya pulled Max by the arm and ran off into the cave with the rest of the confused men.

As Max and the rest of the confused men ran into the cave, growling and bangs were heard behind them. Max didn’t bother to look back, cause if he did he might as well be dead. Finally they all took cover behind two large boulders and aimed out into the open. Meanwhile a wounded soldier was crying and shouting over his bloody leg while the medics treated him.

All the other soldiers tried not to make any noises, while one man scrambled to the front of the group and made an animal-like gesture. A predator was eating something, and it seems like there were more than one. Suddenly a loud shot rang through the room, and the standing soldier fell as blood spattered around him.

“Aufladung! Für den Führer!"

More war cries echoed through the cave as Max saw German soldiers charging toward them, with swords ready at their hands while the wolves that Max saw earlier were also running toward them as well.

Max and the other soviet soldiers started firing upon the Germans, but they were slowly approaching them. One wolf jumped onto an unfortunate soldier and started biting him until he lay motionless. It was so big it was almost the same size as a Jeep. Because of that, so many soldiers fled and some surrendered to the Germans, but were either slayed or eaten by the wolves.

As the lucky ones were able to flee deeper into the cave, they stumbled upon a fortress with a number and words carved into the entrance - 1915, English territory, Fort George.

“Get in! Come on!” Max shouted to the other terrified and confused soldiers. “It’s an ally territory.” Kostya was able to translate what Max had said and they all rushed into the fort. The only unfortunate and damaged part of the fort is that the entrance was left empty, with no gates or objects to block it.

Max counted the number of soldiers still alive, out of the 35 soldiers that first came here, only 16 were left alive. The walls were placed with machine guns and artillery cannons back in the rear, luckily, the troops were already preparing and reloading the machines with the rest of the ammunition that the English had left them, whether it was the British or American. The commanding officer of the platoon was fortunately alive, but had no idea what to do nor tell his comrades what to do.

In the distance there were shouting and barkings, as well as hooves banging on the ground and echoed like an alarm. With the five machine guns and the three canons, they all fired at once when the Germans came within sight. One by one they were being picked off, as Germans fell from their horses and the wolves fell to the ground. There was a machine gunner behind the entrance, ready to fire at anything that dares to come through. Everything was going well besides one thing, ammunition.

The first cannon went empty as the one beside it did as well. Luckily, the Germans seemed to not know their problems and were retreating, grabbing whatever they could out of the dead bodies. Soon after the shooting lowered, engines were heard outside the cave and fainted. Max guessed that the Germans had stolen their trucks. He grabbed his rifle and ran to the cave entrance, stepping over and on top of bodies. Their trucks were long gone, and blood streaks swept across the floor.

“Gospodi, chto nam teper' delat'?” Muttered their officer as he sat down on a rock, taking his cap off. The other soldiers soon surrounded around the cave entrance, some guarding the area.

“Direwolves, I believe they’re called.” Kostya said as he sat down next to Max. “Lieutenant said we have to walk at least thirty miles if we want to get back to base, it will take around 7-8 hours. We’re moving out in a few minutes.” Then he got up and walked away.

But Max didn’t hear anything Kostya had said, the images of men being shot and ripped apart horrified Max. He didn’t want to live anymore, he didn’t want to suffer in this mysterious place full of dinosaurs and weird creatures. Soon after their officer had ordered a move out, a little whimper came from behind the bushes. As the rest of the soldiers marched Max broke away and went to investigate.

Soon enough a little “Direwolf” pup laid there, shivering and whimpering. Max picked it up and looked at it closely. It was blueish and white. But before Max could do anything else somebody called after him.

“Max! Max!”

Max quickly put the pup into his coat pocket and hurried back to the platoon and marched off again.

Part 1/3: The Broodmother Lyrisk

3 hours, 45 minutes until Ascension…

The group of Argies approached the terminal of the obelisk after almost 30 minutes of flying. When they approached it, they set their Argies down just off the path up to the terminal. The group got off and walked towards the terminal. Sodden and his group stood on the left of the terminal. Dorack and his group, along with Red, stood on the right. Red walked up to the terminal and put the Artifacts in, along with the tributes. Sodden took out a cryopod, and Red started to throw out some, along with his group. Red and Dorack put two Rexes across from each other, standing close to the terminal device. They put the Rexes out in a circle until the group circled the terminal device. Then Red and Sodden walked to the device. “You ready?” Red said. Sodden then took a shotgun from his bag. “I’m ready for this. Let’s get on our creatures.” Sodden said. “Now, before we teleport, 10 people will come with us to the fight and 10 others will stay to guard the place. We don’t want anything ambushing us when we return.” Red said. Sodden nodded then threw out his Yutyrannus in front of the device, then Red threw out a Daedon. It had almost 100 stacks of meat in it. Sodden got on the Yuty, then Red walked to the terminal. Then 8 others, including Rod, Serenity, and Dorack got on some Rexes. Then the other 10 people walked to the path and went a little down the path. Red took out the sauropod vertebrae, the Titanoboa venom, the artifact of the Hunter, Clever, and Massive, and some other tributes. Red put everything inside the device’s inventory and a screen popped up. There was three fights available, the gamma, beta, or alpha. “You really want to do alpha?” Red asked. “Of course.” Sodden said. “Okay. Here we go.” Red said. He then clicked the red button and a countdown started. “Teleporting to Alpha Broodmother in 30 seconds.” Red got on a Daedon so he could help heal the Rexes and Yuty. “Okay, so here’s the plan. Sodden, Serenity, you two are on Group 1 of the Rexes. You’ll lead them towards the front of the Broodmother. Rod, Dorack, you’re on group 2. Lead them to the back. I have two Rexes that are mate boosted so that should handle the minions. They’re Group 3.” Red said. Sodden and the others nodded. “Teleporting in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5…” “Let’s do this. Journey Through All Creatures will prevail!” Red yelled. Everyone cheered in excitement. “2… 1… Transportation initiated.” Then a large green dome started forming around the platform, then it started spinning. It spun faster and faster until it collapsed and caused a huge WHOOSH, which compressed the group into a ball, containing the group, which was just energy particles now, that got launched upwards. The ball flew higher and higher until it left the dome surrounding the Ark. The ball traveled through a path towards the arena, which hung on one of the poles that helped the force field stay stable. As long as the large poles stayed stable, the force field would always be active. The ball traveled across the dome of the Ark, creating a green streak of light that looked like a comet. Survivors all over the Ark could see it. There was someone fighting the Broodmother. And that someone was the team that would save the Arks from C Tribe. Then when they hit the arena’s roof, the ball went through it and hit the platform inside the arena. Then the ball expanded and the group was back to their normal forms again. The green light disappeared. Then the Broodmother came from one of the large webs on the wall. It looked around, and screeched loudly as it started running at the Rexes. “Okay. Remember the plan. Charge!” Red yelled. Then Sodden had his Yuty roar, then it energized all the Rexes. The Rexes roared, then Sodden led his group to the Broodmother’s front. The Broodmother roared and released some acid balls. The Rexes and Yuty dudged the balls, then some Araenos crawled from the back and started attacking the Rexes. Rod led his group to the back of the Broodmother. Red led his Rex pair to the minions throwing webs at Sodden’s group. The webs were causing the Rexes’ feet to get stuck and not be able to move. The Rexes started crunching the spiders, but the spiders would keep webbing their bodies and biting. But the Rexes were really good and had great saddles. They weren’t taking much damage. At least, not until the Broodmother started attacking. It lifted one of its legs and swung it across the air, trying to hit the Rexes. Sodden’s Yuty roared again and then his group of Rexes ran at the Broodmother’s head to bite in its body. But it was very, very strong. It had almost 1 million HP. Its skin was going to be hard to penetrate, but the Rexes would overwhelm it if they bit hard and kept going. The Broodmother swung its leg to push back the Rexes, then the Rexes that went to the back started biting the Broodmother and trying to penetrate its shell. The Broodmother screeched then swung its back legs and launched more acid balls at the front. Some Rexes got hit and screeched as they started to topple. The minions were webbing the Rexes, but the Rexes were constantly getting repaired by the Daedon. The Rexes were stomping around and getting the spiders squished. But they were strong and kept biting, but eventually, some minions began to die. The Rexes crunched down some spiders roaming on the ground, biting their little teeth into the Rexes’ legs. The Rexes then got knocked back by the Broodmother’s attacks again, then the Broodmother launched more acid balls and roared in anger. It swung its back legs too, knocking back Rod’s group. But the Rexes kept biting, trying to break through the skin. The Broodmother roared loudly then some minions came out of its back, and started throwing webs at the back Rexes. The Rexes started to bite the spiders, ripping up their bodies, then the Broodmother launched more acid balls at Sodden’s group. One of them hit the Yuty and it screeched in pain as it stumbled over a spider. It managed to catch itself then started attacking the spider. The Broodmother’s legs were doing some real damage. But so were the Rexes. Scratches began to appear on the Broodmother’s body. A few Rexes started getting bloody. It seemed like it would be a close battle. The Daedon was healing the Rexes, but some spiders were starting to attack it. Red used his shotgun to destroy the spiders. He pulled the trigger multiple times as the spiders tried to crawl over to the Daedon and bite it. But the spiders were being pushed back. Meanwhile, the Rexes were getting pushed back constantly by the Broodmother. It kept swinging its legs at the Rexes’ legs, while the Rexes were biting through it. It was down to 550K HP, and some small tears were starting to appear in the Broodmother’s body, with a very small amount of blood starting to ooze its way out. The Rexes went for the tear, which was on the back of the Broodmother, then it swung its back legs again and knocked back the Rexes. Then it launched a web out of its back and climbed up to the ceiling. Red tried to get it down by shooting his shotgun, but the spider roared loudly and in anger, then spit out some kind of acid. It landed on one of the Rexes, and the hot green liquid started burning through the Rex’ neck. It started screeching in pain, and the person who was on it put a sheet of gauze down to stop the wound, but the liquid just burst through the gauze, and the person yanked his arm away. The Rex started stomping around, dizzy and injured. It then started hacking up blood then tripped over a spider and slammed into the ground. The Broodmother leaped down from the ceiling and towards Red’s daedon. Red steered his creature out of the way, then the Broodmother landed on its feet, and one of its legs scratched a Rex. The person who rode the injured Rex ran towards a Rex that had no rider. Then all the Rexes circled around the Broodmother, and three of them ran at the tear in the Broodmother’s back. The Broodmother turned around and shot some acid balls. Then the Rexes behind it ran at the Broodmother and sunk their teeth into the tear. The Broodmother screeched as it swung its back legs to swat away the Rexes, but it was no use. The Rexes were biting hard, and their grip was very strong. They started to dig through the tear in the Broodmother’s skin, then it screeched and launched a acid spit from its butt, and it hit one of the Rex’s leg. Sodden’s Yuty kept on roaring and moving around the area to dodge the attacks and minions, but even that wasn’t helping too much. The Rexes began to run out of stamina from all their biting and running around. The Broodmother had caused the Rexes on its back to let go, but now its wound was bigger and it was bleeding out quicker. The Rexes had acid on their legs, and they started to lose health quickly. But they were dealing a ton of damage to the Broodmother. “If 30,000 health and 489% melee can’t stop the Alphas, nothing can! Keep going!” Red yelled. The Rexes did not stop biting the Broodmother, and the Broodmother did not stop launching balls, spiders, and swinging its leg. The battle raged on for a while, around 20 total minutes. After some time, the Broodmother was bleeding out on its head and body. It started to lose fluid from its injuries. However, the Rexes too were hurt. 2 Rexes had perished and the other 16 were injured, with wounds on their legs and back and only around 9000 HP left for most of them. The Broodmother was slowing down, moaning in a weak voice and starting to die down. The Rexes ran at the injured boss and knocked it into one of the pillars, and it screeched loudly as it fell over. Then the Yuty let out one more screech, and the Rexes started biting through the Broodmother’s injuries. Then suddenly, it was over. “You killed a Broodmother Lysrix (Alpha)!” The Rexes stood over the dead boss as it retracted its legs and went into its death pose. Then Sodden looked to the podium where they arrived and saw a green glow begin to appear. It formed the shape of a crate then the light disappeared. There was a green crate with the element and trophy. Sodden hopped off his Yuty and walked to the crate. He opened it and saw 148 pieces of element, along with a red trophy that looked like the Broodmother’s head. Sodden took out both of them and walked to Red. “We did it. We did it! One down, two to go.” Sodden said. Red nodded, then Sodden put the rewards in his bag. Sodden, Rod, and Serenity started putting the Rexes in their cryopods, then Sodden put his Yuty in a cryopod and Red put his daedon in a cryopod too. Then everyone walked to the terminal. “Teleporting back to Ark in 3… 2… 1…” Then suddenly, a green dome appeared around the podium. It spun faster and faster until it collapsed and compressed everyone into a small green ball that was launched out of the arena and flew across the Ark’s force field until it descended down quickly towards the green obelisk. It went through the dome and hit the podium of the dome very quickly. Then the ball expanded again and the group was back to their normal forms. The ten people that stayed behind walked from the bottom of the path up to the terminal. They set out their Argies, got on, and took off for Nudon again.

When the group got back, they put all the Argies in the cryopods, then walked to the castle. Sodden and his other teammates put out the Rexes to heal. He then turned to Dorack. “Okay, you’re staying with the others to heal the Rexes. Okay?” Sodden said. Dorack nodded, then he, along with the others, walked to the Rexes. Sodden, Rod, Serenity, and Red walked back into the castle.

Dodo Tales (Ep18 S1) crystal lands person, if your going for reincarnation and hiveminds, then I can do this very violent scene. Do NOT read this if you can't handle blood very well.

"Sir, we caught one of them, the strongest and bravest as far as we know." A guard said

"One? ONE?! If either of the others know of my plans, then it won't matter" said a deep voice "sir give me one more chance, I'm

s- sure I ca-"

The guard found both of his hands held together tightly

"If two is not that much of a problem then this shouldn't be either." He said pulling out a small knife. "N- no sir, it's so small"

He did it so fast the guard didn't even notice, and he turned around and walked away, looking back and saying "a cut could bring down a mountain, we're all just too blind to see it." He looked back at the man who was laying dead in a puddle of his own blood, with a cut across his wrists...

Overseer (previous in Pterandon)

Chapter 20

As Fuzzball walked through the forest, it turned out to be a swamp. This made Fuzzball hard to walk due to the lack of land and mostly swamp water, but the Dodo’s could easily float on the water. “Uh guys, I feel like we’re being watched.” Sneaky said, anxiously. “Is it food?” Chunky asked, looking desperate and eager to eat anytime. “No, you fat, foods don’t walk.” Mocker replied. Buddy, which was on top of Fuzzball’s head, seemed to be very stressed about something. “Chirp! Cheep cheep! Chirp!” It went on until there was a rustle in the trees.

“I think we should hide.” Honeydrop said, looking worried like Buddy. But it was too late, a giant spider came rushing out of the trees. Looking mad. “Who dares enter!?” The large spider bellowed. “It’s the Broodmother!” Honeydrop whispered in Fuzzball’s ear. Everybody looked at Fuzzball, waiting for him to say something. “Um, a Ferox and five Dodos?” He replied. The Broodmother hesitated for a second, then looked down. “Hmmm, an ally. I suppose?” The Broodmother asked. “I guess?” Fuzzball replied, looking worried. He turned around to see the Dodos hiding behind swamp trees. A sudden explosion came near the distance. “It’s them!” The Broodmother shouted. She quickly did a stress call, this was Fuzzball’s and the Dodos chance to escape.”

“Guys, come on!” Fuzzball shouted to them as he tried to run. More explosion came, this made it even more difficult to escape. But the Dodos were catching up to Fuzzball easily. Along the way Fuzzball saw smaller spiders crawling on trees and scattering around, screeching loudly. “Hurry guys!” Fuzzball shouted as he saw land. Suddenly an explosion happened in front of Fuzzball, he fumbled back into the water. Fuzzball’s upper right arm was injured with a cut, but he was eager to get out. “Fuzzball! Hurry, come on!” Shouted Honeydrop as the Dodos was getting closer to the land. Buddy however, was clinging on Fuzzball’s head for dear life. Fuzzball saw the Dodos on land, looking worry to see if Fuzzball was gonna make it out of it alive. He finally got on land, panting for air. But somebody was missing. “Guys, where’s teeny tiny Bob?” Mocker asked.

All of them turned toward the swamp to see a dead corpse. The water around it turned red. It was Bob. The little Dodo, as young as 1, stayed dead still on the water. “Guys, we gotta go.” Fuzzball said as he quickly ran toward the flatland, with the Dodos racing behind. “Who did that?” Honeydrop said, looking very sad. Everyone else was very sad, even Mocker. “It must be the C.A.I.F.T or the Rockdrakes.” Fuzzball replied. “What are we gonna do now?” Sneaky asked, scanning the area. “We have to keep moving, to somewhere that we are safe.” Fuzzball replied. But really, he didn’t know what to do, he couldn’t save his kind nor stop the war. Most of all he couldn’t help his friends.

Fuzzball felt useless.
