Those from a different dimension would arrive, and save people from untold cruelty. The ground will shatter as ons will be brought to life. Dimensions once far away will close in like predators cirg prey. The undead will know fear. The Mazurians will knency. The sor races will know pain.-The Prophecy, ued

  "I'm just going to get this up and out of the way. Why did you do it? Why did you break the spatial barrier meant to keep the bulk of interdimensionals away? Why the swarm of assassins at the school?" I calmly top off my gun while asking the question. I feel like I'll need every bullet.

  "Don't you see Esstrey? They are interdimensionals! They have a great deal of experieh interdimensional travel! We return home, and no longer have to worry about this crazy world with monsters and dungeons!"

  "..." The world isn't crazy, only its people.

  "You yourself told me to keep the kids safe, so I will. I alo. With this we all go home, back to earth. Do you not miss your home?"

  "..." I'm not sure if there is a pe to return to.

  "The atta the academy was needed, and I'm sure as Spetsnaz you uand the importance of paralyzing enemy leadership before an invasion."

  "..." Keyword being importance, killing enemy leadership does more than make an invasion easier.

  "We go home Esstrey, all you have left to do here is help me destroy this silo. The Mindfyers promised a safe ride bae for all of us. If we fight, we only endahe childre. We don't have to fight, you are not the enemy I want."

  "I am the enemy you deserve. Russia does not iate with terrorists, or their hostages." The RPK in my cws sings vindictive hatred in my hands, and Ena responds by shifting herself away. The robot o me has already run off, no doubt taking a more defendable position for what is to e.

  Shifts in space appear along the treelihe clearing quickly devolves into the ever familiar battlefield, as mindfyers ehrough space, and leave through death. They unch multitudes of elemental attacks, their attacks rarely ect as most are stopped by a barrier of water. The attacks that do get through instead nd on my scales, and fail to do much due to my sheer size.

  Regardless of their effectiveness, my position is still bad, and I do not o fight alone. I slowly pull back to the ck, leaving a trail of corpses in my wake. Whenever I get the ce, I kill mindfyers with magistead. This battle will be long, and I need all the ammo. Arriving at the ke, I hear the sounds of battle. Nosks's ons are w overtime to thin the hordes of Mihe fight ends at my arrival, but not by anything I did.

  I catch a flicker of Ena before my ship detonates, killing the whole crew aboard. Dead mermaids rise to the surface of the water, crossbows still held in their cws. Many Mindfyers were caught i as well, disposed as paw to keep my forces in pce.

  "W-where the fuck is everyone?" I get no respohe ke is silent for now.

  "You all better not be dead!" Before I check for any survivors, bsts of magic hit the area behind me, more Mindfyers emerge on the beach.

  "Alright, here we go!" Justice hits the squid faced fucks hard. Their fident attitude from seeing my forces in tatters, repced with fear.

  "Kol da Nok! Bir lo zham!" Their guttural nguage is pain to the ears, I respond my sileng them. They want war, they have it. I charge at a few of the isoted ones, and rip their limbs off. Turned into docile little things, I deposit the dying Mindfyers into my water barrier to get carried with it. Carrying the meat-shields, I charge from group to group in the forested area by the ke. Every Mindfyer I kill is either joining my barrier, or turning into a decoration found in a ibal forest. By the time I reach the clearing with the silo again, I see a rger group of Mindfyers attempting to enter a hatch.

  "I AM STILL ALIVE, YOU FUG AMATEURS!" My PKM rips into the unaware and aware with ung equality. Non-physical barriers are pletely disregarded by the mass-produced pieces of lead. More portals appear, and I see Ena moving amongst them.

  Just as enemy reinforts arrive, their reinforts are hit with a wave of bck, and leaves corpses behind. Ky flies over the battlefield, raining down terror on the exposed interdimensionals below. A squadron of high ranking demons follow close behind her. Mindfyers e running out of the forest, and into the clearing, as anroup falls to well aimed crossbow bolts. Eden joins the fight with a group of Empire elite's, and the Mindfyers running from him quickly fall to aerial bombardment.

  Large flesh-beasts start appearing out of the portals now, and fire rge bsts of magic at the flying squadron. Ky gets hit in the side, and starts desding like a downed fighter jet. A few of her squadron fall out of the sky dead, and those who don't follow her to the crash-site below. I gesture to Eden to head for her. I'll hahe clearing.

  As I toss a few fshbangs at the flesh beast, I pull out the ballista sized crossbow from my back. The fshbangs go off, and all attackers are blinded. I had my eyes covered, and now my bolts tear through the flesh beasts. The bolts ly cut through, and their sheer size allows for multiple entments. The flesh beasts detonate, Urist's enters being well known for their explosive entments. Looking at the hatch, I see that they broke it open at some point. They must be trying to head for the missile.

  Jumping after them, I make my way ihe close quarters bat is no advao the squid-heads. The entire facility no doubt seems like one big death trap to the interdimensionals, who simply 't read the dires scattered about. Regardless of the inability to navigate on the side of the mindfyers, the bots are even worse off. Many corpses of bots are scattered about, and their wrecks serve as a remihat only living things cast barriers. Most of the maes seems to be maintenance as well, but that hadn't stopped them from putting up a fight.

  I reach the final door to the silo, and shred the Mindfyers attempting to breach the airlock. Behind me, I hear the voice of Ena.

  "You got way too far Esstrey, I should have just focused on shooting down the missile. Your 'friends' have been causing a lot of trouble for my forces upstairs." I smile, and turn around. Found you.

  Ena recoils in fear at seeing me, I smell her fear, and see her blood pump faster. Delicious blood. Of a different type of the blood c my body, but blardless. The fuel of life. The delectable aroma is interrupted by multiple things happening. A more advanced robot jumps in front of me, and pushes me out of the way just as space gets shredded, along with the robot itself. A rger signature of space magic appears in a nearby hallway as well, and a shoggoth begins filling the hallway with herself. The attacks unched by E interrupted by a ter-barrage of spatial magic. She attempts to retreat, but I leap into the mass of flesh that joihe fight. The inside looks like I am in space, surrounded by void, and the little stars that I know to be eyes. I quickly feel the void flesh shift around me, and I am unched.

  Barreling through multiple mindfyers who just ehe arena, I am unched with massive speed at my target. The crossbow and the PKM are left behind. Ena jures spatial magid rips me to pieces.

  I am turned into ky salsa, and Ena closes a bst door to keep Cathy at bay. The wounds ay body are numerous, normally I would bleed out within the minute.

  "Why did you make me do this? I never wanted you to hate me." Ena looks on me, and I reach a cwed hand out from one bleeding body to another.

  "I don't hate you, only svers get that privilege. I'm simply stopping a genocide." Ena's eyes grow wide at the realization that my voice is still calm. It is too te for her, all the blood on both of us turns into tiny spears, and eviscerate her body. The blood of her troops c me, my own blood, and her own wounds p out all dig into her. Her wounds explode, as my blood magic blitzes across her skin. Using my own body as a puppet again, I shove my to her chest, and pull out her heart.

  That's one less problem in the world.
