Failure

The announcement was simple.

'Since, the Zeus academy was so competent in dealing with my pets and my puppets. I am not going to give you the added advantage of knowing where you are going to be hit.

They will come at random and leave at random.

But be sure that this time, I am going to deal with you for sure.'

After the announcement was made, the Zeus team got extremely nervous. They just had that trepidation about how everything went bust whenever Sam said he would do something.

He almost always ended up doing it and in a spectacular way that made everyone else puke their guts out in resentment. They were expecting the beasts to come at them and they did.

Two random cities, with no clear reason or pattern that they could identify were hit at the same time.

One city was hit by the familiar tiger everyone knows. The other city was hit by the new pet Sam added to the fold. A bear.
