I turned toward the sound and stared as I saw my son be pierced through the shoulder by a beam of light which was emanating from a rifle held in the hands of one of the attacking forces. I snarled and let my power rage forward blasting him backward and rushed to my son's aid. I healed him to the best of my ability then started hunting for my mate knowing that things were going to be very bad if I didn't find her, make sure she and my son were safe, and join the other assassin's in their defense of our lands. I started hunting throughout the village for her even as the enemy started blowing up the huts around me and destroying the ground with energy beams. I snarled as I saw my wife hiding behind one of the huts and a group of enemy soldiers approaching her. She was protecting several children and seemed to be arguing with them about going into safety.

I rushed over and blasted the enemy with multiple streams of energy feeling a bit of my body's reserves be drained in the process then handed our son to my wife and whispered in her ear "I love you, but you must run. Find as many women and children as you can and lead them out of the village. The other assassins and I will buy you time along with the men of the village." She nodded and ran off leading the children away letting out a howl to attract the other females to her as the male started rushing the enemy. I watched as the first wave of craftsmen to approach them were mercilessly gunned down by their weapons and the second wave managed to attack them with crude weapons made out of farming implements and tools of their trade. My fellow assassin's used their magic to shield them as much as they could before using our natural ability to teleport behind the enemy and start killing them methodically.

When they realized what we were doing they shifted their formation so that no one had their back unguarded and forced us to attack from above and below. When they realized we were the bigger threat they started to attack us allowing the craftsmen to start to overwhelm them with sheer numbers. It seemed like the battle was going in our favor for a little while when suddenly the enemy's numbers tripled as more warships appeared. They blasted the farmers and craftsmen like they were mere ants and one started targeting the children. My wife saw what was happening and appeared in front of the beam taking the brunt of it and nearly being destroyed. At that moment my world started to shatter and I went into a berserker rage.

I started tearing into the enemy soldiers like a wild animal and ripping them apart all the while using my abilities to blow their ships from the sky. My brothers in arms, and the commoners, all took heart from my terrible carnage and fought with renewed vigor snarling, and tearing into the enemy with a passion that would never again be seen on my planet. In the midst of the carnage several groups of assassin's, and even the craftsmen, from other villages appeared to bolster our forces; however even as our ranks increased our enemies ranks increased tenfold. I snarled and started releasing more and more energy even as it felt as if lead weights had been placed in each and every part of my body.

I watched as commoners, merchants, and assassin's alike fell all around me. The enemy's body's littered the ground, and I glanced to the side to study one I'd just felled whose helmet had fallen off. He was a reptilian, which actually surprised me. I hadn't thought that the reptilian species had had a chance to evolve on any other worlds, yet it appeared they had and were much more war like than my own people. I sliced another in half and gasped as I saw it was a vulpine, rather than a reptilian as I'd come to expect. This caused me to renew my spirit wondering why this group hadn't come to us and asked for peace rather than starting a war that they could not be allowed to win.

I watched as my people continued destroying the ships and stepped back to regain some energy before continuing the assault. I noticed that they would occasionally take the girls who were of age up into their ships with collars around their necks. This caused me to start raging and blasting away like mad letting my energy surge. A few other assassins also noticed and all of us started releasing the restraints we were normally forced to wear to destroy the ships with wave after wave of energy. Even more of our brethren started to do the same as the head of the order said that we were allowed to telepathically. The invaders seemed completely surprised as the tables turned completely due to all the ships we were destroying and energy we were releasing. They were overwhelmed for a while then all of a sudden their numbers started to increase again as their final wave of reinforcements must have arrived. I snarled and redoubled my efforts caring about nothing but protecting my family.

Slowly I felt myself starting to lose consciousness as over exerting myself took its toll on my body and mind. I looked to my left and right and saw that those beside me had already fallen due to enemy attacks and forced my body to go on. Suddenly I heard someone shout my name and glanced over to see one of those I counted as a brother pointing at my mate and son's location. I followed his hand and saw an enemy battalion approaching them. My wife picked up the blade of a fallen enemy and ran the closest one through then two more suddenly swung their blades and sliced her into three pieces. As she fell she swung her blade one last time taking the head off the one to her right and coughed up a stream of blood.

She lay there a few minutes with her blood leaking all around her then let out a shrill scream that tore my heart in two. I rushed over only to stop dead as an enemy put her out of her misery with a swift blow. I slammed a stream of energy into him causing him to explode as I watched more approach my son who was now guarding the children with a blade in his hand. He knew nothing about fighting, yet he seemed to have inherited my skills as he started slashing and cutting at the enemy, keeping them back and actually injuring many of them. Suddenly one started to circle behind the children and he appeared behind them. He cut the enemy in half before appearing back at his spot and being speared through the shoulder by an enemy spear. He snarled in pain and rage then tore the spear out and through it back into its owner's throat bloodlust filling his eyes.

He snarled and continued tearing into the enemy swinging the sword he'd picked up. I tried to rush to his aid only to be blocked by enemy soldiers as they rushed toward me realizing I was a bit more dangerous than the average member of my race. I snarled and blasted them more and more feeling my energy start to fade then let out a snarl of rage as one of the women was violated before my eyes. I attacked them with renewed vigor destroying everything between my son and I, only to be knocked to the ground just short of his location and held in a kneeling position as my son was speared through from multiple angles. He coughed up a thin stream of blood, and the sight of blood running down his once pristine fur sent me into a rage like no other.

I felt my body start to warp and change then seemed to see everything as if from a distance as what was left of my mind went into hiding and watched as my body went on a rampage destroying everything in its path. Friend and foe were destroyed until I reached my son's side. I stared at him and he smiled sadly at me whispering something I couldn't understand then his eyes closed for the last time. I growled softly as I set my son's body down and slowly climbed to my feet my eyes flashing with inner rage and pain. The world faded to red as I felt my body start to shift and change. As the changes started to slow down I started to attack everything within my reach. It didn't matter if it had been friend or foe; I wanted them all to pay for what had happened to my family.

I'd lost my wife, and now I'd lost my son, the only connection I had to her left in this world. I'd watched people I'd known all my life lay down their lives, but now it was all meaningless, my family had died for nothing, and now I was going to make everyone pay for their loss. My body moved as if it had a will of its own and destroyed the entire city, and everything within, before my mind passed into a blissful darkness. After that I only have the occasional vague image or sound remembered, as the creature within me was a loud to destroy and let loose its rage. The next coherent memory I have was when I was about to destroy the world. I'd finally come to the surface, at least in part, and was able to watch as my body sent a blast of energy into my planet's surface that drilled straight to, and overloaded, the core. I watched as the crust of the planet started to warp and shift, silently begging for it to destroy me when it exploded, however that was not to be.

As the planet was about to let loose an explosion that would rip apart all the surrounding worlds, and send several of them crashing into the sun, chains made of pure darkness suddenly wrapped around my arms, legs, and throat. A gateway made of pure malicious energy ripped open behind me and slowly started to pull me in. I vainly reached for my home world hoping beyond all hope that it would destroy me before the chains could finish their dastardly work; however it was not to be. I was wrenched into the portal which closed as the final wave of the explosion reached where I'd been standing only moments before.

My last glimpse of my home was watching as it exploded from the inside out and knowing that millions of innocent lives were on my hands. The only conciliation I had was that I'd destroyed the invaders. I silently hoped that they would be unable to trouble any other worlds as I was dragged through the darkness to a place that my people, and many other people from many other worlds, knew of only as the Abyss. As the chains tightened their grip I started to feel my consciousness slipping from my grasp and fought all the harder to hold onto it snarling the entire time.

The abyss warped and shifted all around me. I don't know how long it had been but I did know that I'd started to adjust to the void around me. The abyss and I were starting to come to terms with each other. I was too strong for it to consume, so instead it started to torture me. I felt as if I was burned one second, frozen the next, all the while that unchanging destroyed landscape stared back at me. It was barren; mountains hung off in the distance, lava flowed like rivers, alongside what appeared to be rivers of pure darkness. Hanging overhead within the darkness were small pinpricks of crystal, the souls who'd fallen victim to this barren wasteland that wished to own all worlds. I suddenly screamed as I realized just how horrible a place I truly had arrived at, and questioned what had led to my being here.
