No answer came to the question the girl managed as she wearily inspected the monstrosity. Instead, the beast remained still, rainwater leaking down its form. A light mist escaped its maw as its hot breaths panted into the cool air. Like a confused puppy, the beast titled its head to the side, analyzing her words in its head. It did not move nor stand. However a sound did slowly rumble forward from its maw as it hung open.
"..W...wheeere.." Began a the bellowing voice again from within the monster.
"wheere...d-diid yooou...comee...froom..." Repeated the creature clumsily as it looked down over Evee's small form.
It was quiet for a moment before the towering chrome monster slowly leaned in. Then, from the beasts fanged maw, a long, pointed tongue darted out, stabbing the unsuspecting girl in the arm. The pain was instantaneous, like a jolt of fire spreading through the veins in her arm and quickly coursing through her body. The pain was intense but only lasted a few seconds before it all numbed away. After a moment a few drops of silver liquid leaked from the small puncture. The wound rapidly healed however, sealing itself up as if it never existed. Moments after the pain stopped, a rush of images flowed like broken memories into Evee's mind.
Techbreed. The first word that popped into her mind. Then, she could briefly see the chaotic images of a massive war between alien creatures. Numerous beasts all similar to the one in front of her clashed with other creatures, rending flesh and metal into the air. Beams of hot red light streaked across the sky and explosions shook the ground. Evee felt as if she was there, among the battle. The images changed to that of a group of armored alien soldiers, each accompanied by these,
Techbreed creatures as they marched into battle. The soldiers were loosely humanoid in appearance, save for an extra set of smaller arms. The monsters that accompanied them kept close, staying vigilant. A sudden explosion blew the scene away and Evee felt herself flying across a deep darkness, followed by images of the cosmos, as if she was roaming through the endless void of space. Just ahead, there was a small blue spec slowly getting close. Soon, it became the image of earth in the distance.
Another word entered Evee's mind. A name.
Beast. The visions stopped, and when they did, Evee found herself sitting where she was in the first place. It was all some kind dream even though it felt as real as day. Beast still hung over her, passing her an oblivious gaze as she came back to her senses. Her body began feeling a bit more energetic and invigorated, though subtle pain and soreness still tingled through her muscles.
