“Every single atom in my body was designed before my birth,” Reavasai Cor put her glasses on as she read the last part of Ilean’s handwritten letter to herself again, “and enhanced after my death. I was designed for a singular purpose. To protect Life from Wyyvern? Class Threats,” she had never seen or heard the term Wyyvern anywhere else before or after this. She read on, “Wyyverns weave through my home Multiverse and make everything reality. A Wyyvern is sending the Titan’s here. I do not know why. I only know that he created you and your Realm. He is your God? He is the Wyyvern of the one true God? Created, by accident, of Heaven? and Hell?” These were all terms from an ancient religion from her home World long since dismissed into mythology. “If you won’t help me get to the God Wyyvern, then stay out of my way.” She had wanted to continue reading on, but then the ship shook, and she was able to read no more.

Under a copper moon, Ilean, a forty-three-foot long Wyyvern-forged Undead Tyrannosaurus Rex Apex, stood on the surface of a Flame Tsunami Class Titan as though it were solid ground. The Tsunami of Flame had not consumed or submerged the planet it had formed upon yet. She wanted to stop it before then and prevent it from moving on to other planets, but she could not see how deep it was, and she could not fly, so she decided not to eat it until she had found a solid land mass for which to stand upon. A fin of molten magma and rock rose from the flames to be bigger than Ilean, half circled behind her and then submerged before she could notice it. Upon noticing a sudden flourish in the flames, like a ripple on water, she examined the center of it and rolled her eyes with an irritated exhale as a mouth, seven miles in diameter, rose from beneath the flames. The four-hundred-ninety-mile long Magma Megalodon Leviathan Class Titan breached its gaping maw around Ilean. Its teeth were as serrated mountains that fit together perfectly it shut its mouth and swallowed Ilean whole. Then fell back into the Tsunami of Flame and exploded then imploded just beneath the surface. A three-toed foot breached and dug its talons into the Tsunami of Flame as though it were solid ground and Ilean lifted up onto the surface. She belched and became molten magma and rock. A tentacle of plutonium oxidized, becoming solid metal, as it breached the surface of the flames behind Ilean and then wrapped around her. The tentacle quickly overheated upon contact with the molten magma and melted as Ilean absorbed it through her skin. Then Ilean belched out a solid chunk that slowly drifted downward beneath the flames. A large explosion and a mushroom cloud were then followed by Ilean’s roar. A bellow erupted from beneath the flames in response.

Dropping into the atmosphere, “Did anyone else hear that?” Commander Taz Esque asked.
“Sounds like she’s already having fun,” Master Chief Reg Cor chuckled.
“Or in trouble?” rebutted Francis Utili.
“I found an Island,” Jessy Dryvv was the first to land planetside. “Careful on entry, I lost visual as soon as my boots hit the ground.
“You heard her,” Reg enforced. “Careful on entry and try to land together.” A strong wind passed, and a crack of thunder rolled as their radios all went silent at once. “Madoline, do you read?” no answer. “Stella do you read?” he couldn’t see three feet in front of himself. Taz! Clover! Jessy! Francis! Does anyone read!” No Answer. Then he saw woodland plantlife move like a serpent around a base structure. He looked up and beheld a winged dragon made of woodland plant life. Its majestic antlers were seven miles end to end and its wings fourteen miles tip to tip. Reg shot a few incendiary rounds into the Tree Dragon Primordial Class Titan causing it to rear back. Then he Rolled behind a nearby obsidian formation to avoid the Tree Dragon’s roar which shot forth like a ray of bright green energy that caused plant life to grow and consume all it touched. “Great, a Primordial, that means we are definitely on an Island,” he thought for a moment, “and I’ll wager this dense fog is coming from a Volcano Class Titan.” That was not his concern at the moment, his current concern was the Tree Dragon Primordial now staring at him from above the obsidian formation.

“Medical officer needed! Do you read! I repeat! Trella Solir’s dropship is down, and she is in need of immediate medical attention!” Madoline Cor had been screaming into her radio for what felt like hours as she slowly and carefully dragged Trella Solir’s mangled, still breathing, body to Betty, her tank. “I’m gonna get a hold of Jessy, and one health shot should cure ya right up.” She loaded her pistol after feeling a tremor followed by rain clouds. “Jessy Dryvv, do you read. Please be made of something Betty can break.” Then she remembered, “Betty has a regeneration life support system, she can heal you!” Then the tremors increased and continued to increase rapidly, “shit, time to get in,” she grunted as she carefully picked Trella up and into Betty’s cockpit and locked her shut just in time to jump out of the way of a giant ram made out of solid snow and ice. “Shit.”
“Language, young Lady,” snapped Trella.
“But it’s a…” Madoline argued.
“A Primordial,” Trella interrupted, “does not warrant foul language, Mad.”
“Just get Betty back to me,” Madoline replied. “I wanna see what this snow ram can do.”
“Don’t worry, Trella,” Clover Danil popped on the radio and through the dense fog just in time to block the Snow Ram Primordial Class Titan with his Mobile Fortress as the Snow Ram attempted to ram Betty again, “I’ll hold it off until you give Mad her tank back.”
“Any word from the others? Madoline asked.
“Nope,” Clover replied. “Nothing.”
None of them could see three feet in front of themselves, “Hurry up and get in!” Trella shouted over the radio after using Betty’s radar to get to Madoline’s position.

Taz drifted his new bike, the latest model, between Reg and the Tree Dragon Primordial and deployed an energy shield that blocked its roar, “Get on and help me kick this things ass, Sir!” Reg smiled and, after a running start, jumped on the back seat of Taz’s bike. “Good evening, Master Chief,” Taz closed the open cockpit for maximum protection. “We know you don’t really have a choice when it comes to Titan killing transportation, so I’d personally like to thank you for dying with me today,” having jumped off an obsidian formation and put the bike upside down mid-air, Taz opened the cockpit again, “Light em up!”
Reg immediately began shooting, “Taz, you crazy son of a bitch! I fucking love you!” unloading an entire clip of incendiary rounds right into the Primordial Tree Dragon’s skull. “Not good enough,” Reg said as Taz drifted to a perfect landing, “We need to burn its heart!”
Taz closed the cockpit again, “Yes, Sir,” he said as he sped away from the ray of plantlife that consumed all behind him and left an abundance of trees and flowers in its wake.
“Have you been in contact with anyone,” Reg asked.
“Only Jessy,” Taz replied. “She got a broken transmission from Madoline and most likely with her now.”
“Good,” Reg loaded another clip into his rifle, “let’s get this over with so we can regroup.”

Two tentacles, significantly larger than the first, rose from the flames oxidizing with eight other tentacles that were the same size as the first. Another bellow erupted from beneath the flames, and Ilean countered with her own still undisputed roar. Then a sudden sandstorm made it difficult for Ilean to see more than a few feet in front of herself and the first tentacles sent the Apex flying to another, then another, then another, as the Plutonium tentacles batted her back and forth through the whirling sandstorm. Ilean sunk her teeth into the next tentacle she hit and clamped down refusing to let go as the others tried to pull her off. The tentacle she held slammed her down onto the flames, but she did not let go as she anchored herself down and pulled the entire seven hundred seventy-seven mile long Plutonium Squid Leviathan Class Titan out of the Tsunami of Flames, over top of herself, and slammed it back down upon flames on her opposite side. Then she took a mighty leap into the air and saw, from the bird’s eye view she had gained, that the sandstorm was not a storm. It was a Sand Serpent Leviathan Class Titan. Making herself seven times denser and seven times heavier than the Plutonium Squid, Ilean fell through it and pulled its still-beating heart out with her. The Sand Serpent looked frantically for Ilean’s breach, but she came from its blindspot as an atomic explosion that engulfed the Sand Serpent like snapping jaws and swallowed it whole. Now back in her base form, Ilean landed on her feet with a thud and then belched becoming a cloud of sand. She then traveled through the air towards the sound of familiar mic chatter coming from a stormy island off in the distance.

Francis Utili crawled along an incline, seeing the light at the top of the seemingly infinite darkness until he almost fell into a large hole, “Great,” he muttered before rolling on his back and catching is breath. “Of course it’s a Volcano Class Titan,” he thought for a moment, “but what element is it spewing.” It definitely wasn’t harmful, but it caused a thick fog with a rainstorm raging within to cover a seven hundred seventy-seven mile diameter Island that seemed to be surrounded by an ocean of flames. “Well that’s a promising sight,’ Francis said sarcastically. Then he witnessed a Plutonium Kraken Leviathan Class Titan as big as the island he stood upon rise up from and then fall back down into the ocean of flames as though it had been lifted and slammed down. “What the? Hey, it’s the Apex.” he watched as Ilean suddenly flew into the air and then fell back down slamming herself into the Kraken. A moment passed before what looked like the Apex’s jaws, now massive and made of an explosion, closed shut over and swallow whole a Sand Serpent Leviathan Class Titan. Francis frantically tried his radio “uh, Master Chief Reg? Jessy? Does anyone read? Boy am I glad she’s on our side.” He saw her become sand and move toward his position. “Please be on our side.”

The entire Realm had been consumed by a Blackhole Class Titan. Only the solar system containing the Gia, a classification of Titan that is a living planet with life on it, where the Apex still remained. The God Wyyvern watched with a smile on his face as all things continued to play out according to his plan. “Finally, I have you cornered.” the God Wyyvern said with a smile, “I want to see what else you are capable of, Ilean” he chuckled.
