The Voracious tear

:

Planet Orolo

The Voracious tear was the codename given to the main area of space the evil swarm had been probing into Spartari’s outer planets from the even further outer rim. In a straight line, hundreds of star systems have fought and lost against the Swarm, however, this particular fleet had diminished in size and only a small splinter remained, as the larger portion seemed to have vanished without a trace.

The Military planet Orolo was on the border with the neutral worlds and was heavily defended because of that reason. As such, the Spartari Phalanx, knights and planetary defenders, alongside much appreciated special forces, would be able to stop the splinter fleet here. The battle was still ongoing, but from the looks of things, Victory was all but Spartari’s.

On the planets surface, on the major defensive front, A woman was straddled upon a long deceased Basilisk queen guard and was endlessly punching it while screaming. “Where is my baby!”

The Phalanx stationed nearby were terrified of the woman. She seemed so normal at first and any Swarm beast that came close to her simply began spasming and screeching in agony, making for easy kills, but she was clearly unstable and unpredictable.

After punching the freethinkers corpse to a pulp, She moved onto the next elite corpse to try again, screaming the same thing over and over.

Not to far away from the woman, another woman dressed head to toe in black spoke up. “Should we try to stop her? Scouts report another swarm is heading this way in a moment.” Alpha 4 clutched his chest tightly upon hearing the suggestion. “If you want to try, be my guest. I am not getting anywhere near her like that.” He said as the phantom pain of his chest caving in resurfaced.

“Sorry, I am confused, why has Omega 2 gone bonkers? Did I miss something?” Beta 8, a child? Said from behind his mask. It was then Alpha 2 who looked over at Omega 2 and sighed sadly.

“Her mind snapped just under two decades ago after losing her child to a swarm attack.” She started. “Well, duh. I remember that, I mean why is she suddenly going extra cuckoo?” Beta 8 said, interjecting.

“Right. Well, recently, Omega 2 has for some reason had the epiphany that her baby survived the invasion of the planet she was stationed on and is convinced that since the swarm literally devoured the world out of existence, that they kept the baby captive all these years for some nefarious purpose.”

Beta 8 was wearing a mask, but as he looked up at Alpha 2, it was evident that he had an expression that said. ‘What shit are you spewing out your mouth?’ He then looked over towards Omega 2 who was crying with rage as she was puncing another corpse screaming the same question again and again.

“Thats deranged, the swarm can barely think past the next morsel in front of them. How are they going to understand the concept of hostage taking? And even if they could, why would they take one random baby and never do it again anywhere else we have engaged them?” Beta 8 questioned. Find adventures at freewebnovel

Alpha 2 sighed before looked back over at Omega 2. “I know, I know. However, she is currently our best weapon against the swarm so she needs to come to this realisation on her own. She is one of our omega’s, She does not follow the rules so we must protect her from doing something stupid.”

As Alpha 2 said that, a rumbling was heard in the distance. Not to far away from her, A Spartari Centurion shouted. “Another wave! Load all weapons! Artillery! Begin fire at will! We hold this ground or we die! A thousand victories!” “A thousand victories!” The phalanx Shouted back in a thunderous roar.

Gabrielle seemed to regain some clarity upon hearing that shout and began to look around. Upon seeing the evil Kidnappers sending more victims to interrogation, she smiled gleefully before running back towards the defensive entrenchment.

Upon reuniting with her squad, she smiled happily as she took off her face mask as she had gotten bug bits in her breather and she needed to swap it out. “They are sending more meat for me to interrogate! Aren’t you excited? I could find out where they are keeping my baby hostage.”

The squad looked among each other a moment. Hugo’s advice to respond to Omega 2 was do not engage her delusion, but be supportive of her actions. As such, Alpha 4 responded while hiding behind Beta 8′ small body. “That is great Omega 2, good for you. You show those bugs who is boss!”

Gabrielle smiled ferociously at Alpha 4, making his shrink even further behind Beta 8 before she turned away and climbed onto a nearby rampart as she waited for the Swarm to get closer. However, a look of concern emerged on her face when what came over the horizon was not standard Swarm chaos, but what appeared to be a heavily trained cohesive blob of bugs in perfect formations.

“By my sons beating heart, what am I looking at?” She murmured in both fascination and worry.

Jewel was experimenting as her beloved would say. Her Ships were now full to the brim of human Biomass and needed to be returned to her on home world so she could feast and grow stronger. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Since she had a bunch of ships left over after storing most of her other ships to the brim, she decided she would use one of Apollo’s tactics she had observed him doing over on the Ker’min front when he was a little cutie.

Jewel would purposely expel all of the bio forms left on these ships to cause as much damage to the prey species as possible and to also ease her hunger by losing these forms at the same time. It was a win-win and she would get this biomass lost back in her next invasion.

The fortress world she was currently observing was a lost cause, she knew this but also knew that the defenders would take heavy casualties trying to defend. That was the status quo everywhere bar one location.

In that one location, someone or something kept on frying her Psionic link from her bio-forms, leaving her blind to what was going on. As such, Jewel decided to investigate with her main conscious personally. Using an array of 27 Agitators, Jewel fully descended onto the planet with her true mind.

The affects were immediately noticeable. Her presence, both smartened her lower castes allowing them to attack and ‘think’ clearer while also empowering their biomass to function more efficiently, making them stronger and harder to kill.

Jewel stalled a few hours as she began creating Bio forms from different galactic fronts with the biomass she had gained on this planet so far to see how they would fare against this prey species. She also made a special surprise for whatever was causing her to lose her connection to her limbs.

After using all the biomass available to her, Jewel began a synchronised attack everywhere on the planet. She also used the opportunity to cease the Orbital battle as she began crashing her ships into the planet for a touch of chaos and to open up new fronts behind others.

As Jewel came over the ridge where she kept losing contact with her limbs, She noticed the enormous prey fortification and knew standard wave tactics would only fail here. She also noticed that as she appeared, the prey began firing long range explosive ordinance towards her.

Not having to think or relay orders, Jewel began moving her newly created bio forms into position while her drones and warriors began packing tightly together so she could protect herself better.

Just behind the ridge, A group of fifty bio forms lay down and aimed their tails into the air. At the end of a tail was a cone like mass that would fire out of the tail due to incredible pressure build up.

These Bio-forms were created to counter an enemy Jewel has great difficult against. She uses them to shoot down the enemies gauss bombs that atomise her bio forms before she can get close. She saw no reason to not experiment with these on more basic explosive projectiles.

As the artillery began its descent from the air, the new bio forms did not need to aim as the millions of eyes in the general vicinity acted as their vision and fired their cones upwards. The cones shot out of the tails and immediately broke the sound barrier. A few seconds into its flight, the cones fragmented open and turned into shrapnel as they tore through the artillery shells, causing them to blow up mid air.

Back in the Spartari lines, the centurion in charge had noticed the anomaly with their explosives going off before hitting the ground. He had no idea what was causing them other then the multiple booms that would occur before each one was destroyed mid flight.

The Centurion was not dejected however, for he had thousands of shells and would not mind wasting every single one if it meant the swarm would just sit there for it allowed the rest of the troops even more time to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Perhaps fate heard his inner thoughts however, as as soon as he thought that, the swarm began its advance towards the fortification.
