The air was thick with grit and smoke, a swirling miasma of heat and destruction that turned the already desolate ruins of Al-Jalhara into a choking nightmare. Crumbled buildings and jagged rebar stretched across the horizon, a graveyard of civilization, as antelope and deer soldiers fought a bitter war for dominance in the Dust Bowl conflict. This war wasn't just a clash of ideologies—it was a clash of giants.
Amid the ruins, a colossal battle raged. Towering over the broken streets, the hulking forms of two super-soldiers—the pinnacle of bioengineering—clashed with savage fury. The giant wolf, an embodiment of American ingenuity and aggression, had pinned the antelope soldier to the remains of a mosque's crumbled facade. Her gleaming horns, once a symbol of majesty, now cracked and bloodied, struggled futilely against the wolf's iron grip.
The wolf slammed her head against the wall, sending chunks of stone cascading down in a deafening crash. Each strike reverberated like thunder, and the iridescent pink liquid—her enhanced bio-fuel—spurted from her wounds in glowing streams, pooling at their feet and igniting faint sparks in the debris. The wolf's fist connected with her jaw again, an eruption of sparks and blood lighting up the apocalyptic dusk. Her cries, guttural and defiant, were swallowed by the chaos as the wolf's snarl echoed over the battlefield.
Below them, crouched in the rubble, a squad of antelope soldiers moved like shadows. Their hoofed steps were cautious, measured, as they slipped between the ruins of a collapsed minaret and the broken skeleton of a bombed-out apartment block. The ground beneath their boots was littered with the bodies of the fallen—mostly deer soldiers in Legion-issued fatigues, their lifeless antlers tangled in barbed wire, alongside the occasional antelope clad in the Colonial Vanguard's tan uniforms. The stench of death hung thick in the heat, mingling with the acrid scent of burning fuel and charred flesh.
Corporal Nasira, a veteran of countless battles, led the squad with a quiet hand signal. Her dark eyes burned with focus beneath her helmet as she directed her team toward higher ground—a jagged slab of concrete that jutted up like a natural barricade. The antelopes' sniper, Amira, settled into position, her long rifle gleaming dully in the dusty twilight. Her breathing was steady as she took aim at the wolf, who remained locked in brutal combat with their fallen giant.
"We take out the wolf," Nasira whispered, her voice a sharp hiss over the comms. "Then we retreat north toward the highway. Understood?"
The squad murmured their affirmatives, though their eyes darted nervously to the colossus above. Even as their super-soldier fought valiantly, her odds of survival dwindled with every crushing blow from the wolf. If she fell, the Vanguard's lines would collapse in this sector. But Nasira knew better than to dwell on what-ifs. Survival came first.
As Amira adjusted her scope, the wolf's ferocity seemed to reach its peak. It snarled, saliva dripping from its jagged teeth, and ripped the antelope giant from the wall, slamming her into the ground with such force that the earth beneath the squad's feet trembled. Dust and debris rained down on the soldiers, but they held their position, shields raised against the falling rubble. The wolf's glowing eyes scanned the battlefield for a moment before turning back to its prey, raising a clawed fist for the killing blow.
Amira steadied her aim. "Target acquired," she whispered. Her hoof rested gently on the trigger.
But before she could fire, the sharp crack of a rifle echoed through the ruins. Blood and brain matter sprayed across Nasira's face as Amira's head snapped back, her lifeless body slumping against the concrete. The sniper's rifle clattered to the ground, the barrel smoking as it rolled to a halt.
"Sniper! Take cover!" Nasira barked, her voice cutting through the haze of shock. The squad scattered, darting between chunks of rubble as another shot rang out, striking the ground where one of her soldiers had just been. The sniper was a ghost, hidden in the endless expanse of ruined cityscape, and their precision was deadly.
Nasira ducked behind a half-collapsed wall, her breathing ragged. Her mind raced as she tried to piece together the ambush. The Americans were everywhere, it seemed—an unrelenting force that refused to yield. She risked a glance over the edge of her cover and saw the wolf soldier turning toward them, its bloodied maw curling into a snarl. The colossal creature had noticed them now, and there would be no escape if it decided to attack.
"Smoke out!" Nasira ordered. One of her soldiers pulled a canister from her belt and hurled it into the open, a plume of thick gray smoke erupting to obscure their movements. The squad began to reposition, weaving through the ruins in a desperate bid to outflank the unseen sniper.
Above them, the antelope giant let out a final, guttural roar as the wolf drove its claws into her chest, silencing her forever. Her massive body slumped to the ground, shaking the earth with its weight. The wolf turned its attention fully to Nasira's squad now, its glowing eyes piercing through the smoke like twin beacons of death.
"We're not making it out of this," one of Nasira's soldiers muttered, her voice trembling.
"Shut up and move," Nasira snapped. Her mind churned with plans, each more desperate than the last. The Americans had the upper hand, and she knew it. But if they were going to die here, she would make damn sure they took that wolf down with them.
As the wolf's thunderous footsteps drew closer, Nasira gripped her rifle tightly and prepared to fight. The Dust Bowl had no mercy for the weak, and in this moment, she knew they were staring into the jaws of annihilation. But she refused to go quietly.
