After Tegedar made it to the evac area & requested a sword he turned in the locket the fallen soldier hand so his family could have it.

--Base of Operations--

Indeed many Krith drones have fallen through each trial, there numbers were barely half of what they once were. When asked if they wish to continue they declared that whatever trial their Queens face they will face them as well.
Kriths all gather to prepare for the next trial. Each securing whatever weapons they think they need.
 
Tegedar’s new polearm sword is forged:

He practices relentlessly to be ready for the remaining trials.

--Hellword: Flamebane Grave--

Setting up camp proved to be extremely difficult, there was barely enough time between hail storms to setup camp. The Kriths team set traps & mines around the stronghold where possible but the hail storm slowed their progress to the point they were only able to lay 60% of the payload before the week was up, 40% was set on the ground surrounding the stronghold & the other 20% was set on the stronghold itself to act as explosive / reactive armour. Every heavy gun was positioned at turret openings in preparation for the coming onslaught. 

As soon as the first week ended the broadcast rang out. In less then half an hour small tremors started shaking the fort as a horde of crustacean horrors rushed out of the mist & at the forts. Several explosions illuminated the artic horizon as the crustaceans hit the first line of mines, as the creatures started eating their fallen the Kriths team open fired. Wave after wave came for them, they took turns firings guns from outside the fort as long as they could stand & firing from small openings in the fort.   

During the second week the waves of monsters come closer & closer igniting every row of mines, at times being right in front of the fort. The only thing that gave them a moments rest was the creatures feeding on their dead leaving a sea of broken exo-skeletons spread across the battle field.

The 3rd week started with the forts explosive armour erupting as yet another wave comes for the trainees. With food & ammo nearly dried up the Kriths team rushes out in escape vehicles as the last of their set mines go off. Krith warriors used half of their remaining mines to cover their initial escaped leaving a massive explosion behind them blowing their old fort in half & killing a whole line of creatures that were almost immediately replaced with another.

While being chased to the next fort siege guardians spewed volleys of corrosive napalm like steams at close by monsters, Havoc guardians unleashed their parasite drones on monsters that seemed too close, the parasite drones would only live long enough to kill 3 – 4 monsters before dying due to the extreme cold.

Finally making it to the second stronghold they rigged all the vehicles to explode as the monsters hit them to give them enough time to reload & start defending their new fort. Havoc drones started immediately eating so that their bodies could start germinating & producing more parasite drones.

Before the end of the 3rd week the team was forced to flee their second fort, as the waves proved too immense & violent. Several Krith drones gave their lives to let the others escape, they could be seen in the back ground fighting to their last breath. Fire, parasites, bullets, & swords thrashed out as each drone fell one by one. The rest of the group escaped out into the bitter cold desperate to find new shelter. They came up on a fort that was about to be torn apart, they fired on the monsters to help the Diyelian soldiers escape, the 2 teams joined forces & made a mad dash for the nearest stronghold.

Finally making it to another fort they found a very small group of soldiers that had already taken shelter, combined the 3 remnants barely made a full original team. At the end of the last week the Krith & their team wasn’t certain they would make, so they took several vehicles out to the evac spot & decided to fight until they were saved or until they died. Tegedar, Xerkhon, & Valgorr lead the rest of the Krith drones & Diyelian soldiers for one last battle. Tegedar gripped his blade as he & the other hive guardian’s unleashed large telekinetic bursts at the oncoming wave. Tegedar & the other fought with a strength they barely knew they had, Tarakith & Sivtress rained down as many psionic blasts as they could. Just as it seemed like they would die fighting the evac ships came down firing at the crustacean monsters. Everyone rushed the ship & jumped on nearly ready to pass out.

The Krith spent the first half the month healing & sleeping. The second half they spend preparing for next Hellworld.


-Lamirtiasch, Urkun-Iash's Great Plains-

Zagara: “Ah I see, we ourselves are new to metal, good question Irdihan, it is hard to explain so I will show you if you all do not mind.”

Zagara linked her mind with the Urkun-Iash leaders, using an illusion they seemed to float & then rapidly shot out into space stopping in the moons orbit.

“This is what your home looks like, & the large planet it orbits.”

After looking at their home a few moments a small replica of their star system appears between them & Zagara. She explains that each star is called a sun & each sun has several planets that spin around it, & many planets have moons like the one they live on.

After some time Zagara ends the illusion & gives the Urkun-Iash sometime to take in everything.
