Wolves and realms (book 1)

The army of the imperials

Atomicron marched along the hallways of the ship, her squadron behind her. She halted, turned to her units and gave them the order to continue patrolling without her. As for her, she entered a room through a nine foot tall black door to come face to face with her's and the imperial order's supreme leader, Gamma. 

"My lord. We have made many scientific breakthroughs using the sentinel technology which your forces retrieved." She informed

"What has our science team found out about this unusual technology?"

"The creature that this contraption is attached to is able to re-organise the position of deoxyribonucleic acid thus becoming a larger, more powerful form of the original. Observe."

Atomicron held one of the devices out, placed it on the floor and waited. Soon after, a green mechwing, about a foot long, scampered onto the object. It closed in on the mechwing. The keratin wings extended from the contraption. Then a green, thorny tail. As the creature grew, the silvery machine became more like armour than a cage.

"May I present to you a guardian mechwing." Announced Atomicron as a seven foot creature stood by her side. Gamma stood, withdrew a black blade and sliced at the creatures neck. The mechwing prepared for death but it did not die. Instead, the shadowblade hit it and left no more than a scratch. Atomicron took out another device, similar in colour to the first. She aimed it at the device, disabling it and returning the mechwing to its original state. Before the creature could leave, Atomicron shot it, causing blood to spill onto the cold, metal floor.

"Set course for the planet of voids edge, beta islands, base bravo." Commanded Gamma. "I have found a way to turn the tides of war into our favour. Duxon, Vulpex, prepare for the expedition."

"Yes sir." Replied the two captains.

Atomicron left the room. Her squad passed by her. She ordered them to stop and told them about the expedition.

Meanwhile, Gold was walking along in the cold landscape of tundratown. Amphitrite, Shardlight, Platinumcoat, Wilfred and Retnemrot walked with him. "Can you remind us why we're here? It's freezing." Complained Platinumcoat. "I'd rather be at the lab with no tools than in this weather." 

"We are here because someone wanted to show our new friends around the place" replied Amphitrite.

"Hey. I should be allowed to give a tour of my own home." Remarked Shardlight. 

Realmfoxy appeared through a portal nearby. "And I suppose that means your sister can give a tour of her watery world?" He questioned.

"Fine. I get your point." 

The ship passed overhead, slowly descending to land near the mountains. The group dismissed it. Later, Platinumcoat almost regretted complaining as he found many objects which he found useful. Gold was interested in the forest of curiosity. It was bound to have different creatures here, wasn't it? Realmfoxy was occupied looking at a group of weapons forged with reinforced ice. Who makes a weapon out of ice? Retnemrot and Wilfred took the time to become acquainted. It was Shardlight and Amphitrite who spotted the squadron of flamethrower-carrying troops first. "Imperial order!" yelled Amphitrite.

Wolves and cats began to panick. Dragons ran towards the commotion, trying to force the squads retreat. "We require dragon extermination units immediately!" Informed one of the units to the ship. Heavily armoured units with dragon symbols on their chest plates dropped in pods and began confronting draconians. The flame troopers hurled igniting gasoline at the nearby buildings. One wyvern fell. And a dragon. The fur of nearby wolves caught fire and they rolled in the snow to avoid burning. "Melt the snow!" Ordered the same unit from earlier to a new squad of flame troops. Realmfoxy withdrew his sword and ran at the commander. A four armed cyborg blocked his way. Vulpex. He withdrew four double sided lightblades and ran toward the realmfox. Retnemrot flew overhead, dropping chunks of ice at the unsuspecting soldiers. She landed to get more ice when she had a better idea. She placed her paw over a wyvern corpse and turned into the creature. Shards of ice were hurled at the opponents, backed up by Shardlight forming ice spikes and Amphitrite attacking with the melted snow. 

"Phase two" ordered the commander.

Units ran forward, rifles in hand. They fired. Wave after wave of blaster fire hit the draconians, wolves and cats however, no one hit the mechwings that flew around. More units came, this time with nets. They caught the mechwings. Gold charged forward into the heart of the army, threw his sword and watched it as he used magic to guide it at the enemies. Vulpex knocked down Realmfoxy and ran towards Goldmoon. The alpha now had to face the four armed captain and the army. Slash. Gold felt the heat of the blade as it carved into his flesh. It...stopped. Goldmoon took a glance at his surroundings to see that every soldier, every citizen, every shard of ice and flake of snow was frozen in time. 

"Long time, no see." 

Gold turned to see a familiar four eyed time demon staring at him. "What have you done, demon?"

"No. Not demon. I am far more than a demon. Otherwise I would have left you to die."

Gold looked down to see the watch around his neck as it glowed blue. 

"Nor am I here for the watch, Gold." Spoke the demon in a soft voice. He walked over to Platinumcoat. "It'd be a shame if someone were to die. Maybe I could help."

"Why would I allow that?" Questioned Goldmoon

"Does it look like you have a choice?"

Gold took the frozen time to his advantage, mapping out the locations of troops and routes that they could take.

"Start"

Gold was behind the army. He became a mechwing, flew overhead and dived into the middle of the army. He then became a dragon midway, spiralling to the ground as his own purple flames engulfed him. When he hit the ground, the flames dispersed, hitting troop after troop eventually killing half of the army. The other half was dependent on the movement of other units. One by one, the army fell until only Vulpex and Duxon remained. They teleported with two mechwings. Gold already knew what would happen to the poor creatures.
