On a certain planet, Young Sector 99—
Bam…
Bam…
Bam…
The sound of explosions shook the entire region and sent deep vibrations through the ground beneath. The blasts were strangely rhythmic, identical and repeated at steady intervals, each impact separated by the same span of time, almost as if some colossal creature were marching across the land.
The earth trembled with every strike.
Dust rolled across the crimson terrain.
And the echoes continued.
Indeed, a few minutes later something massive emerged from the crimson stone forest.
Something enormous.
Something dozens of meters tall.
At first glance it looked no different from the surrounding mountains. Its body resembled an irregular mass of rock, rough and weathered like a piece of the planet itself. If it had remained still, it would have blended perfectly into the landscape and no one would have noticed it.
But it moved.
Slowly.
Heavily.
