Speed Is King

Whatever could be said of Elliot, he was after all still a member of the human race. He had his pride, his sense of belonging and his sense of comradeship and brotherhood with his fellow humans.

“I will make sure I repay the pain humankind received back upon the aliens a thousandfold!” Elliot swore in his heart.

The ground continued to shake violently as the energy beams impacted the earth with the power of a billion sledgehammers. Faintly, through Winter’s heightened sense of hearing, Elliot could hear the screams of the survivors begin their wretched and horrifying symphony.

He cut off the Beast-Link with Winter straight away. He didn’t need more anger clouding his mind.

Elliot opened his eyes slowly and upon finding that the blinding light had subsided, he immediately instructed Winter to continue.

“Winter, let’s go.” Elliot said softly.

Winter leapt into action without a word and sped through the grassland very quickly, each gigantic step of hers eating up tens of meters.

Very soon, they reached the aforementioned cave and found that it was perfect. It was large enough to house Brock and Winter easily, but with a narrow entrance that could only fit one giant beast.

The enemy’s greater number would be nullified and they would be forced to face Brock and Winter one at a time.

“Brock, everyone, come out.” Elliot summoned.

Brock’s giant frame, along with the wolves, hawks and the tiger immediately coalesced into form around him.

“Brock, please open up a small hole within the cave so the girls can hide. We’ll cover it with earth and all of you beasts can pee on the entrance to make sure the enemy beasts do not sniff them out if we end up losing this fight.” Elliot instructed his beasts mentally.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Brock’s incredible strength allowed him to quickly complete his task.

“Girls, stay inside that hole, and whatever happens, do not come out! I will get you both out after everything is over.” Elliot instructed them. He didn’t leave any instructions if the worst were to happen.

Both girls immediately nodded and squeezed into the small hole.

Elliot hesitated slightly and then produced two small knives.

“Take them. At the very least, if a heavily injured beast escapes me, you can kill him with these.” Elliot said. He didn’t say that if a heavily injured beast managed to escape him, he would probably be dead.

Jessica took them both from Elliot wordlessly.

“San Wu Kong. Do you want to join them? You’re still too little to fight in this battle.” Elliot said to his Lightning Apostle.

“My place is by your side, Master. In life. And in death.” Wu Kong simply said as he sat calmly on the branch of a small tree by the cave.

“Good. Then whether today ends in life or death, you’re no longer just my Lightning Apostle, but also my brother!” Elliot told him with fierce eyes.

“It is my honor.” Wu Kong said gravely.

Elliot nodded and then turned to quickly covered the small hole with a thick layer of earth, leaving only two small holes for his sisters to breathe.

“Don’t worry, and wait for my return.” Elliot said softly to them.

“We’re ok brother. Don’t worry!” Jessica said.

“Yes, go do your thing. Don’t worry about us. Shoo!” Jennifer shooed him away.

Elliot smiled silently and made his way to the entrance.

“I will win this fight at all costs.” He said to himself with clenched fists. “Primal Feline Warrior Beast Transformation. Activate.”

When he stepped out of the cave, it was as a fully enraged Primal Feline Warrior.

“Master. If you don’t mind, I would like to command your beasts.” Wu Kong said.

Elliot turned to gaze at Wu Kong with his ferocious yellow eyes. Powerful emotions were swirling within him and he was fighting very hard to maintain control. Elliot knew he couldn’t fight AND control his beasts at the same time.

They would be far more effective being commanded by Wu Kong who was a born genius and military strategist.

“They are yours to command.” Elliot said. “And take this as well. It will fully heal a single beast from near-fatal wounds.”

Wu Kong nodded as he received the small vial and immediately issued a string of commands. The hawks flew high into the sky and began to circle the area, looking for the first sign of the legendary beasts’ presence.

“Please summon your Giant Armored Mammoth first, Master. I will keep mine as a final trump card.” Wu Kong said to Elliot.

Elliot nodded and listened to his military strategist.

“Come, Giant Armored Mammoth.” He whispered.

A gigantic red mist appeared suddenly before Elliot. It was at least ten meters tall, twice Brock’s size. Brock and the rest moved aside hastily.

Whoosh! The mist suddenly disappeared.

And for the first time in many thousands of years, the Mighty Mammoth walked the lands of Planet Earth once more.

KRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The mighty mammoth’s trumpeting roar resounded powerfully!

Elliot studied his newest summon and nodded in satisfaction.

A full ten meters tall and probably weighing hundreds of tons, it was an incredible sight to behold.

It’s long ivory tusk curved wickedly; its whole body was covered with thick, black armor that looked like it could withstand a building falling down on it.

Most glaring was its thick and powerful trunk. It was fully encased with serrated and spiked armor that allowed it to double as a vicious flexible weapon.

BOOM!!

The earth shook when it stomped down with both its front legs.

“Giant Armored Mammoth. Take center position directly in front of the cave entrance. Brock, please stand twenty five paces to the mammoth’s right. Winter, stand thirty paces to Brock’s right. Master, please take Rex, Ellie, the wolves and the tigers and stand twenty paces to the Winter’s right.

If all goes well, the mammoth would be our pivot and we will flank and crush the enemy one by one from the right.” Wu Kong explained.

“Excellent idea.” Elliot growled as he stood at the ready and glared at the sky. The beasts would be delivered in spaceships, and so they would probably come from the sky.

There was no suspense regarding that.. Within fifteen minutes, five black alien spaceships burst through the burning clouds and streaked down towards them.
