We have held down this fort for days upon days after the quakes. Outworld is tearing apart. Purple dark clouds swirl, so much strange weather going on. We have defended this laboratory turned into a fortification from hordes of nether-aliens attacking us. The dark witch summoned 4 slime golems to guard the lab. The golems saved us.
When we finally left our fort to explore Outworld again, we found a changed landscape. Once dense forests; now scorched. Humongous craters span the horizon. Whole cities buried, covered with a green metallic-tar. Scarily deep down in the bottom of these gargantuan pits, emerald lakes emit steam.
I saw there was an exodus down below; masses marching down into the city-structure that survived.
They - we - were becoming spellbound. The pulling was immense, heavier-than-rain, and unstoppable.
The dark witch and I became part of the masses, our minds sucked into the huge crowds and we were led into an abandoned mall. Upon entering we were given various weapons by the sentinel-droids at the door. Millipede-bots crawled thru the piled bodies of fallen warriors we were replacing. Evidently, the millipede-bots were harvesting organs. Thousands upon thousands.
Inside the mall more and more people flooded in. We came to find out a giant T-Rex was roaming havoc that we had to kill. This thing wouldn't die tho. Even the slime golems, slinging their gooey pulling tendrils, couldn't bring it down. From the second-story balcony we machine gunned it with barrels of ammo and this thing wouldn't die. Maybe they gave it amphetamines or it was a cyborg. Many of us died. There was no escape, elevators were destroyed and only abyssal shafts remained. The stairs were guarded by spider-bots. Strange characters in lab coats abducted some of the survivors. These lab-coated droids took syringes into the abductees necks and drug them away. I survived the first round of this, but then they added these flying Gatling gun drones. I remember walking thru the crowds trying to stay calm as this may be my last day. The last thing I saw was the dark witch getting stuck by a spider-bot’s scalpelike claw.
I woke up somehow, outside the mall, on a loading dock where blood lapped up all the way to its edge.
