MK4 Tales

For a moment, Elkay felt safe. He may have been travelling deeper into the facility, back the way he had come, but this time he wasn’t alone. The security had been neutered and he was being flanked by a Vahrga and a Banikan of all things. He was alive, breathing and no longer starving to … Read more

“Did you feel that?” Talok asked as the small train came to a halt. The three beings had managed to sneak in and get themselves on some sort of convoy of shipments. So far, they had remained undetected, hiding inside crates, boxes and carts on the convoy, avoiding the various organic machines that had inspected … Read more

Roars echoed across the dark skies as two dragons tore through the clouds. With each strike of lightning, the colossal beasts growled and clawed at each other, trying to knock their enemy out of the air and down into the ground below. They had been fighting for hours, neither of them willing to give up, … Read more

“So let me get this straight, the Allbirther’s base is 200km deep inside that fleshy mess?” Levik rubbed his eyes, realising he had vastly underestimated pretty much everything to do with this divine mission. “Yes.” “And we will have to walk along large stretches of it?” “Yes.” Talok also seemed concerned. Most of the mission … Read more

Elkay collapsed in a heap on the first piece of solid ground he had seen in hours. He took his time just laying there, desperately trying to get his breath back. He should have been assessing the situation, scanning for enemy combatants and working out an exit strategy, but Elkay was exhausted, hungry and thirsty, … Read more

“When you said you’d show me the universe, I didn’t think the first place we’d visit is a forested world that’s half-made of flesh…” Levik glanced at his co-pilot then rolled his eyes. They were looking for somewhere to land close to the edge of the flesh/forest boundary but so far there had been nothing … Read more

“A word please, Talok.” Talok looked up from his duties. He was in charge of almost all the security systems inside the nest and was rarely ever disturbed. In fact, he never even got visitors. Sure, he had automated everything years ago so that he didn’t need to actually do much, but that wasn’t the … Read more

Elkay watched as the little biomechanical robots clinked into the room through a small grate, sucked up the puddles of vomit off the floor then inserted the fluids into test tubes, before disappearing again. The forced injection of emetic drugs and Elkay’s subsequent vomiting hadn’t been pleasant in the slightest, but that wasn’t even close … Read more

Levik had been oblivious to the world around him for the past ten minutes. Everyone else had been running like headless slaughter animals, trying to pick up the pieces and work out what had happened. They all had families to deal with, relatives to call, things to sort out. Levik had none of that. Not … Read more

Chaos had erupted across the Vrekan capital. What looked like nothing more than a miniscule meteor landing in the city centre had turned into an epidemic, with exactly half the population suddenly being overcome with a feral rage, attacking all others on sight. High winds had spread the terrifying plague across the city, infecting anything … Read more

Epani looked on from a distance, inspecting the cold, twisted plains that surrounded Arkadin’s home. The Death God, much like Epani herself, was often a solitary being, but the fact that Yisini, the Goddess of Life, had been wandering around Arkadin’s property had made Epani both curious and suspicious. Unfortunately though, due to her massive … Read more

Yisini smiled as the door blasted off its hinges, smashing through the room and destroying one of her less interesting and important experiments. She coiled around herself, turning defensively to face her intruder. With a wave of her hand, multiple blood-soaked guards exploded out of the ground, taking the form of winged serpents, and started … Read more
