Monster

It was instant, the world seemed to shatter, the air cracking and breaking open… and a huge pressure pressing everyone to their knees, the sheer density of the air that flowed out pulled most people down, against the silent sky… the air was destroyed.

The world seemed to stop, time halting in it's tracks as the monstrous arm came crashing out of the break. Its skin was a deep black, each segmented piece of exoskeleton ending in a jagged spike that crawled up the arm. Jutting away from the plated fingers. Its hand swept across the field in front of Mahon. Crashing through the company, its troops decimated in a fountain of blood and screams. Nobody could move, not even Mahon… everyone was paralysed in fear. Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity, the troops ran, like ants after a foot landed next to them, scrambling and pushing past their comrades rushing through the sand. Eventually the second arm tore through the rift, pulling it open for a monstrous red face to follow through, its matte shell like a mask, covering two pure white eyes, the face of a human. Its mouth gaping open in a roar. Its scratch defining, the vibrations pulling through the saliva dripping from its mouth, rows of teeth, well more like teeth coloured spikes rounded its mouth, the layers twisting and swirling as it cried out.

The monster pulled itself out more, its eyes trained on the armies behind Mahon. Hands glowing and burning with a bright blue light. The monster pulled its hands up to its face, ingesting its hands, the black blood pouring from its stumps. Its mouth blazing with a horrible azure, the jaws spitting out light as if it were guzzled water.

Then the monster opened its mouth, the spray of light pouring out, burning through the sand, a huge beam of light, crashing across the fields of soldiers, their bodies disappearing in an instant.

Mahon lurched forward, tears streaming down his face. His body flashing past the monster in an instant. However, the monster twisted its whole torso around, its body moulding and contorting to face Mahon, the empty blank eyes staring through him. Its hands regrew as it swung the huge gangly arms pushing past the air. The hands slapping through Mahon, his body splattering and splattered through the air. His body reformed and dying dozens of times as he was pushed against the ground, pulled into pools of blood to regenerate.

Mahon lay, drowning in the blood of thousands of slaughtered men. His eyes drifted in and out of consciousness. Slowly reforming his brain and eyes, he watched as a golden light erupted from the distance. Gilgamesh walked from the piles of ashes, the destroyed regiments and lined people. His yellow eyes gazed at the soulless monster. His body enveloped by a golden aura.

"Hahaha, hahaha, faced with an opponent the size of my palace, with arms that can wipe out armies, the strongest armies in the world. One would think I am scared, and I am, one would think I am sad, and I am. However, At this moment all I can think of is you… you foul disgusting distortion of life, so At this moment… I can think of only one thing, and that's getting revenge for all those who fell in my place, those who I marched, and even if I shall die, I am only afraid that you will roam this world, and destroy my people… take more of the lives of those I love with all my heart. So I stand on this field alone with only a promise. I will fucking kill you."

The king stepped forward, his feet steadily and calmly pressing against the sand. A dim golden glow radiating from his skin, the monster approached his red masked face towering above the king, its huge presence pouring out and pushing away Gilgamesh's cloak. The monster raised its arm, the spines interlocking over its head monster's hand and pushing down, Gilgamesh pulled his hand across his chest sweeping in the same manner. In an instant, a giant golden sword sliced through the monster's arm.

The colossus screeched and cried as blood flew from its hand,

"I will make you suffer the pain you have caused these men, I will make you suffer the pain of their families, and the pain you have caused me… forcing me to watch helplessly as you massacre my people."

Behind him formed thousands of spears, the monster stood back, blue pouring from its arm as it swiped at Gilgamesh. His frail body jumped backwards as the blue liquid poured over the ground exploding and melting the sand underneath, He spread his fingers out the beautiful spears launching forward, the heads looked like they were made from the sun itself. But the monster screeched, his mouth swallowing the gold, leaving three to pierce through its stomach. The black blood spread over the ground. The monster stepped forward its arm regrowing and smashing against the ground, Gilgamesh jumped into the air launched upwards further by a shield formed of the golden light, the monster seemed to smile as its arm swung upwards, the fist hooking through the air, the arc pushing for His limp body. Quickly a spear formed in his hand pushing Gilgamesh to the side, his body flailing past the first, almost missing it entirely… In a split second, his leg disappeared. His face twisting in agony he pulled his hands out, swords erupting from the air and crashing into the monster's skin, the scaly armour ripping apart with blazes of gold, as Gilgamesh fell to the ground. His grand armour was dirtied with blood, encrusted with charred and splattered sand. He snapped his fingers, the swords moulding into axes, the huge heads smashing and hacking at the regenerating flesh.

The Hulking monster stared up at him, blood leaking from its eyes and its mouth screeching at Gilgamesh's lame form. His body propped up onto a small shield hovering in the sky.

The Monster then grew deathly silent. Its body glowed a bright blue, the astral colour flooding from its veins and smashing through its skin. The explosion burned past its body. Through the blue mist formed four giant shields, enclosing the two figures in a huge explosion.

Mahon scrambled through the bodies, his fingers grasping at blood as he scrambled over to the crater. His body shuddering and breaking down, his limbs going limb as he saw the cold pale skin, the golden hair drifting in the sand.
