I'm back. Did ya miss me? No? Well that sucks. I almost missed you guys. I didn't really get any reaction to the last chapter so I guess it just was bad. I'll just have to hope a chapter of Atlas Action will have to suffice.
And if you've been keeping up with the world these past few weeks, just keep the world in your prayers, thoughts, hell even your discussions. The last thing we want is WW3 ya know?
As usual if you recognize it I don't own it.
I raised my hand to my ear and tapped the mini coms Clanker had built "Guys get some rest in and just provide me with overwatch… I got this down here. Atlas out".
I took a step forward towards the alien army and they crouched low to the ground, emitting a low growl towards me.
I didn't care and continued forward, my cap swishing from both the wind and the motions of my body.
A group of five charged at me and the world suddenly slowed down as I started to perceive the worlds faster than normal. I sidestepped the first Insectoid and as it slowly lunged passed me, my fist lashed out. The torsoless body slowly fell to the ground as I went to work on the remaining four. I spun around, my cape catching one in the face and dazing it as I sheathed my arm up to my shoulder through its chest. Snarling, I yanked my arm out and grabbed its spinal cord, ripping it's skull out with it before whacking another alien with said skull. The skull shattered and bone fragments ended up blinding the hit alien before I relieved it of the ability to breathe, my hand crushing it's throat.
I floated up in the air, time slowly returning to normal before I gazed out at the large horde that was getting ready to charge at me. I exhaled through my nose and closed my eyes.
The Viltrumite bloodlust was really getting to me but I can't find a reason to care, I was called upon to end this little incursion and I would do just that. With extreme prejudice.
"I AM ATLAS, PROTECTOR OF ALL WHO STAND WITH JUSTICE!" I roared out, my large fist clenching with my thumb pointed at myself before I tilted my body and kicked off the air itself, crashing right into the midst of the horde. I turned into a whirlwind of movement, my fists stinging the bodies of my enemies as I twirled and twisted around their wild slashes. I laughed savagely, my leg extending as I caught one Insectoid in the chin and snapping its neck audibly. A beep came from my com as I grabbed two of the aliens by the ankle and slammed them into each other, their bodies evaporating into a fine mist as the force I used destroyed their bodies. I floated out of the reach of the fodder below me and tapped my com "Atlas here, what's the issue?" I said, crossing my arm with a frown on my face as I was given the news of what was happening on the other side of the planet "The Queen or whatever is on the planet and fucking up the remains of the planetary army huh…. Sounds like fun to me". I smirked and turned my head back down to look at the corpses that littered the ground from me letting off a bit of steam.
Flying down to snag my cape off the ground, I quickly attached it to my shoulders before taking off towards where the big bad was currently tearing the planetary defenders a new asshole.
A loud screech sounded out as the gigantic, armored Insectoid ran rampant among the panicking defenders. Standing at what would have been forty feet in my old life, or roughly 12 meters tall, was a blue and gray monster of an alien. Spikes adorned its head like a twisted crown. It had no eyes, nose, or ears but what looked to be a domed head with a shark like mouth, with a barbed tongue that lashed out and pierced the pavement, barely missing a soldier that stopped moving to catch their breath.
A short neck led to a thick muscular torso that had four strong looking arms that ended in three fingered claws. It had 4 legs under it that looked like the legs of an elephant, only with claws. A long prehensile, segmented tail swung behind it with two long spikes on each side
I wanted to fight it. It was like my blood was singing to me, begging me to get down there and rip it to shreds. To tear it apart like it was doing the soldiers down below. I was dying to go help, the human side that remained after being reborn into this universe was screaming at me to go take it down but…. The viltrumite side said to wait.
I floated up high almost out of sight among the dark clouds and smoke that covered the sky, the flames of burning structures down below allowing me to see exactly what was going on.
The commander of this group of soldiers was barking out orders, his rifle firing non stop as he tried to regain a semblance of order on the ground.
I admired his attempts, but his troops were too incompetent to follow simple battlefield tactics. One soldier tried to rush up to the giant menace and ended up a smear on the ground for his troubles. The commander had a grimace on his face as he regrouped with the few he could get back in control of. They raced around the corner of a building that was somehow still standing, a miracle if you asked me. The Goliath Insectoid roared out, slamming its arms down into the land around it, making the ground shake each time. Right before one of the fists hit the building the soldiers were at I fell from the sky like a thunderbolt, and blocked it.
I gritted my teeth, the strain from holding it back was immense and I could feel my muscles straining under the pressure.
I LOVED it, nothing in this universe had put me under pressure until this moment. This feeling, I wanted it more than I wanted anything else.
Although I couldn't see it, a dark smirk came across my face. My inner warrior had come out to play.
Ok guys I hoped you liked this one, sorry I had to leave on a cliffhanger but I felt it was for the best to split this chapter up.
Atlas is a viltrumite so he will be extremely long lived. Eventually his current crew will die out. Feel free to send me an OC or three to rebuild it every few chapters, they can be OP or they can be strictly support.
Also my DBZ and my Naruto fics have the first chapters done and I also have a Worm fic in the works, but I want to get a few more chapters of Atlas out first.
Megatronus Out.
