Chapter 42 - Battle of Alphas Begins

As the full moon hung ominously in the sky, casting a pale, spectral light over Capital City, something unthinkable was happening.

Shadows, gigantic and foreboding, leaped from building to building, and the reflection of crimson eyes glinted like blood-red jewels.

Poki found herself caught in the midst of this surreal nightmare.

Her hand trembled as she held the selfie stick, the small screen before her filled with the spectacle that was unfolding atop the city's skyline.

"Babies... I-I don't know what these things are, but they're massive. Look at those eyes!"

She stammered, her voice a mix of fascination and terror.

The eerie silence of the city was interrupted only by the soft pitter-patter of unseen paws on concrete rooftops and the distant howl that chilled her to the bone.

She panned the camera, trying to capture the mysterious shadows that moved with unnatural grace, their outlines barely visible against the darkened sky.

The live chat was exploding with comments from viewers, their reactions a mix of disbelief, fear, and morbid curiosity.

[ OMG! What are those things??? They are huge!!! ]

[ Mommy Poki! Get out of there! ]

[ I'm literally shaking right now. This is terrifying !!! ]

[ Oh no! Where are the cute little kids!! Are they safe? ]

[ Are those… Wolves?! Their leader's the size of a plane! This can't be real. Someone, please tell me this is just a prank! ]

Poki's breath came in ragged gasps as she read the comments, her mind struggling to process what she was witnessing.

"I don't think this is a prank, guys,"

She whispered, her voice breaking.

"These things... they're real. I can feel it. I can hear them."

Her camera caught a fleeting glimpse of one of the beasts as it leaped between buildings, its enormous form silhouetted against the moon.

"I'm risking my life for ya'll my babies,"

Poki finally said, her voice filled with a realization of the danger she was in.

"But I'll keep streaming as long as I can. Stay with me, everyone."

And with that, her trembling hands gripped her selfie stick, still capturing the haunting shadows and crimson eyes that seemed to watch her, as the city itself held its breath, waiting for what came next.

As the shadows continued their ominous dance, a chill ran through the city, reaching even the hearts of hardened warriors like Brandon, who sensed a shift in the wind and turned his eyes towards Crystal and Jade.

"Take Baron, make sure he's safe!"

He shouted, his voice filled with urgency but tinged with tenderness.

Crystal looked up from within the military vehicle, her face pale but her eyes determined.

She pouted her lips, a signature expression that somehow retained her unique blend of strength and femininity even in the face of chaos.

With those words, she climbed out of the vehicle and ran towards Baron, her movements graceful and determined.

Her eyes met Brandon's, and there was a moment of understanding, a shared connection in the midst of chaos.

"My name is Crystal by the way… Hmph!"

She managed to say, a hint of playful defiance in her voice.

Brandon's heart skipped a beat as they locked gazes.

Something passed between them, a promise, a connection that went beyond the immediate danger.

"Keep our twins safe…"

He said softly, his voice carrying a weight that was more than just concern for their immediate safety.

Crystal's cheeks turned a shade of pink, and she nodded, her voice trembling as she replied,

"Be… safe…"

As she scooped up the cute Baron, he looked back at his father, his voice filled with innocence and longing.

"I want twoo help dwaddy~"

Brandon smiled, a genuine, warm smile that reached his eyes.

It was a smile filled with love and a promise of return.

His eyes lingered on Crystal and Baron as they retreated to safety, a fleeting moment of normalcy and tenderness in a world gone mad.

Brandon turned back to face the ominous eyes that glimmered in the darkness, their malevolent glow casting an eerie light over the landscape.

The full moon hung heavily in the sky, a pale witness to the impending clash, its light mingling with the crimson eyes to create a haunting tableau.

"Brothers and sisters…"

He said, his voice steady and powerful, echoing across the battlefield.

The words hung in the air, filled with purpose and determination.

His ethereal armor, a living embodiment of darkness, shifted and shimmered as its helmet closed around his face, hiding his sinister smile.

The armor seemed to pulse with energy, its black surface absorbing the light, turning Brandon into a silhouette of dread and power.

"FOR VOID!!!"

He roared, his voice carrying the weight of destiny, the promise of battle, the thrill of the fight.

The 200 Void soldiers, clad their respective ethereal armors, responded with a fervor that was both electrifying and terrifying.

"Void!!! Void!!! Void!!!"

They chanted, their voices merging into a battle cry that reverberated through the night, a promise of violence and victory.

With a surge of energy, Brandon charged forward, his black ethereal armor making him look like a bullet shot from the abyss itself.

*Vrrrrrsssssshhhhhhh*

His eyes were locked on the Alpha of the mutated wolves, a monstrous creature that towered over the landscape, its fur black as night, its eyes a burning crimson.

The Alpha wolf roared in response, a sound that was both a challenge and a curse.

The creature lunged forward, its massive claws aimed at Brandon's heart, its movements guided by an unnatural intelligence.

But Brandon twisted his body mid-air, narrowly avoiding the razor-sharp claws, his armor shimmering as it deflected the glancing blow.

With a thunderous impact, Brandon's shoulder slammed into the Alpha's chest, the force of the collision sending shockwaves through the very air.

The monstrous wolf was thrown off balance, its massive body tumbling backward as Brandon pushed it off the two-story building it had been perched upon.

*BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!*

The ground shook as the Alpha crashed down, a cloud of dust and debris rising from the impact.

But the battle was far from over.

The other wolves, their eyes glowing with malevolence, circled and howled, their voices a haunting symphony of death and destruction.

Brandon stood tall, his armor gleaming in the moonlight, his face a mask of determination and resolve.

The battle had only just begun, and the night was filled with the promise of blood and glory.

[ Holy S&*%!!! Brandon Void's the coolest!! ]

[ King Void! King Void! King Void!!!! ]

[ AHHHHH!!!! My blood's boiling!!! #prayforvoid !!! ]

"Void!!! Void!!! Void!!!"

The chant continued, a relentless drumbeat that fueled the warriors' courage and passion.
