“What the is that OIK (idiot fool) talking about .. caves? “ A junior who had no recollection of the great war, blissfully ignorant. Atof knew as he muttered to himsel. I knew this day would come.
“YOU know we will NOT surrender. We are the kith and kin of the dammed.
The colonists who sought to eliminate to eradicate the BEAST.
No mercy NO choice to LIVE but to be sealed up to put out of our minds the BEAST not that we had reason to fear but because you were different from us..
To us you looked hideous.. like the images we had been born to recognise as the very semblance of the Iistu (devil) The truth was the image of the actual original Iistu looked nothing like your race BUT others altered the journals to record the Iistu to look just like your race.”
“Iistu” The young officer looked at Atof. “You are right they ARE Iistu.. “ He turns, screams at the others. “ We are in a war with the Iistu.. “ Followed by.
“Just remember our kith and kin, those who fought them in the Great war. The ones who gave their lives so we might LIVE.. NOW who is going to surrender are we going to dishonour our ancestors?”
Small arms weapons now on the battlements in a row pointed liken to what we might call pea shooters. NOW firing one after the other. OUI looked up watching as she turned lifted her wings to fly back behind the row of >
Catapults, call them that, cept these as they were soon to discover, were loaded automatically. Raised platform that now ejected liken to the hedgehogs on corvette ships during our WW 2.. a ball of fire?
Flnng up ejected at force towards the battlements. At first just a few. Atof knew what was unfolding. ” They are lining up setting the coding for the targetting arrays, gauging distance wind velocity and sheer.
WE ARE DOOMED.. The original race was almost primitive in comparison even back then to the colonists. NOW ?
A pause; silence. Then ‘all hell broke loose’ is about as apt a description as I can offer with what followed.
HUNDREDS of those things. The metal if we could call them that would best describe what it looked like
Slammed, against the battlements. It was like shooting ducks in a shooting gallery well IF you were as good a shot..
Lining up the ducks in a row to see them now pounded not shot down, not flung back to spring back up.
Blown to ‘smithereens’ hmm.. how accurate was that? 100%
Dust everwhere, pieces of hard GRANITE splinters tearing bodies into pieces.
I am not going to go into too much gory detail I know you get the picture.
As for those projectiles.. they shattered. into tiny fragments the shards well we know where they ended up.
Within no TIME at all, the death and destruction was on a scale that was beyond belief..
Surrender was out of the question. The onslaught from those winged beings, was savage as they sought out any that were still alive, still breathing. tore them limb from limb,
You see they had, for the most part, grown up with the legend of the ones, who had been attacked by these, well relatively speaking RELATIVES, KITH and KIN; colonists.
The ones who had taken over the planet, small sections at first before moving to establish, take over more and more.. of the best of it .. those who were its original inhabitants pushed aside.
Neither could speak the language of the other so misunderstandings if we can call them that were frequent and usually intentional by the colonists.
Force used when they considered necessary and that was brutal, savage and indifferent.
Those weird winged creatures gave them the jitters, no ‘jitterbugging’ going on..
Even if some found, the slaughter, the screaming, the DYING; was music to their ears.
 Spreading FEAR killing to enforce that TERROR was the nature of the BEAST
It was NOT what they deemed to be the BEAST.
HOW they finally rid themselves of in the terms of the FINAL SOLUTION.. says it all.
These creatures were as one with inbred hatred.. ONLY ONE of those murderers, was left alive. He remained to bear ‘testament’. Atof was spared by order of the one who was stood before him.. HUGE was an understatement.
True from a distance and here we are talking PERSPECTIVES ‘she’ looked small now in front of the one named ‘ OUI’ size is everything was about to get its biggest fan,.
With enough vittals, to see him walk the distance to the nearest settlement they let him go.
Atof knew, with what he had just seen a witness to that they were nothing like the former race they had brought to extinction,
Oui had surveyed the fortress well what remained of it. .
“Tear it down, every last block, dust it.. WHEN we leave and are safely out of this hellhole.
Use a flash asferon, from the heavens above, to release a high intensity energy burst, that will wipe it from existence. Use a Utranium mix to leave the ground irradiated. NOTHING will ever grow here.. only
DEATH, DESTRUCTION; DUST.
