A clash of thunder roared through the sky, like a wounded beast shrieking with pain. A lone monster had entered the atmosphere. Edmund Bask, riding inside his menacing steed, Hellhound. 2500 tons of pure death and steel. Heat and force powered on at it, but it´s shielding did it´s job marvelously. Descending down from the heavens at decreasingly slow 600 miles per hour, it´s thrusters working overtime to slow it down. Oh what a sight it was, the massive bipedal mecha, a terrifying sight to behold. At the front of it´s head, bizarre metallic teeth the size of semitrailers was gleeming. Two thick club-like appendages adorned the end of each of it´s long arms. Portruding from it´s back, were four cylindrical missile tubes. Genocide: "Genocide to operator, I have detatched from the carrier and entered the atmosphere. Touch-down in 54 seconds." Operator: "Copy that, Genocide. Surface scans shows little activity in your sector. Head over to C-47 when you make your landing." Genocide: "C-47? That´s miles from here. Why didn´t we drop down over there to begin with?" Operator: "Command wants you to make a sweep of the area first. Our instruments have been going haywire everytime we´ve attempted a planetary scan. To put it bluntly, we don´t know what we´re dealing with here." Genocide: "No issues scanning the landing sector?" Operator: "A cakewalk." Genocide: "I don´t like this.." Operator: "Just focus on the mission. The contractor is handing out a lot of resources for clearing the planet of any unwelcome entities." Genocide: "..They want us to empty the planet." Operator: "That´s what they said." Genocide: "A planet." Operator: "Big payday." Genocide: "It´s going to take a week, at the least!" Operator: "Consider it a vacation." Genocide: "Fuck you, man." Edmund flipped a switch. The mech braced itself, and hit the ground violently. Rock and soil was blasted away, a cloud of dust shot up. Hellhound was prime, and ready for action. Edmund looked at a screen, "What´s that, girl? You picking up some movement to the east?.. Yes, you´re right, we should start there." The massive metal monster started walking towards the source of movement. A mile away, Erde and co was about to come face to face with the Beast of Paradiso.
