431:Atlantis On Fire[III]

The battle raged on as Atlantis prepared its countermeasures. 

Hidden compartments along the base's towering walls slid open, revealing new weapons that shimmered in the dim light. These weren't ordinary cannons or turrets; the designs were sleek and alien-inspired, each weapon bearing glowing cores of vibrant energy.

Thin, cylindrical spires rose from the ground, their surfaces covered in intricate etchings that pulsed with blue light. As they powered up, a soft hum filled the air, growing louder until it became a sharp, resonant vibration. The tips of the weapons crackled with energy, sending arcs of electricity into the air. Slowly, they came to life, their glow intensifying as the molecular disruption beams charged within their cores.

With a deafening crack, the weapons fired.
