armor. The plasma thrusters on their backs ignited with a crack, lifting them off the ground. Their boot thrusters kicked in seconds later, carrying them streaking into the lavender sky.

KRAIII-OOOOONGK!

The Titanosaur roared.

I could feel the booming sound vibrating in my chest from several hundred meters away, it was that loud. Not only was it booming, aspects of it were shriller than a Skrillex sample of a Skilsaw played over the PA system at a summer music festival. Godzilla himself would be impressed.

Due to the Titanosaur’s distance from the outpost, and with the much closer perimeter wall blocking my line of sight, I only saw flashes of the Titanosaur’s blood-red head against the purple backdrop of the jungle canopy.

My heart racing, I deployed my power armor and ran outside. Once everything ratcheted into place, I took to the air. Once I was above the level of the perimeter wall, I saw it.

A living, breathing gigantic dinosaur.

Not a tiny little 500 kg winged velociraptor like a Terrorsaur. This trax was ha-uge. With blood red skin, and mottled blue-purple stripes on his back, he matched the overall purple tone of the jungle foliage and the red soil. Natural camouflage.

Like many people, I’d been fascinated by dinosaurs since I was a kid. Over the years, I had visited the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles to see their dinosaur bones. They were huge. But this Titanosaurus Rex was exponentially bigger than any regular T-Rex skeleton I’d stood at the foot of, or any brontosaurs skeleton. Much bigger. It was difficult to discern the exact size from this distance, but it was gigantic.

There was one other key difference.

Unlike those museum skeletons, this thing was alive, covered in massive muscles and leathery skin.

KRAIII-OOOOONGK!

Let me tell you, having recently seen planet Jupiter with my own eyes through a porthole on the Artemis — and being the very first human being to do so — had been a once in a lifetime experience beyond words. I would treasure that experience forever. Seeing this Titanosaurus Rex now? An actual living, breathing kaiju? I was in monster paradise!

This was once in a thousand lifetimes.

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

KRAIII-OOOOONGK!

—: Chapter 18 :—

Titano was surrounded by a swarm of flying guardswomen in power armor. The scale differential was like bees attacking a grizzly bear. Some guardswomen were peppering him with blinding-bright purple bolt blasts from the wrist cannons on their armor.

Vwoop! Vwoop! Vwoop!

More deadly salvos blasted from the guardswomen holding big bolt rifles.

Chu-chu-chu-chu-chu-CHOOM!

At least one flying guardswoman wore heavier power armor than the others, and she carried an 8mm Kurkullan RG6 Liberator strapped to her back. She was the heavy artillery and was spraying death from the Liberator’s rotating barrel cluster.

BRAAAAAAAAP!

Titano didn’t stand upright like Godzilla. Like a traditional T-Rex, he walked with his body horizontal and his immense tail extended as a counterweight. Every swipe of his thrashing tail took out an acre of purple jungle or more. Although most flying guardswomen steered clear of his deadly wall of a tail, I saw one get clipped in midair. She went spinning, but quickly recovered. That was good because I needed to focus on neutralizing the thundering threat that was Titano before I tended to any wounded.

Time for me to do the impossible.

I used my rings to instantly increase my mass to Super-Ultra-Mega Beast Extreme size, quickly growing until I stood 100 meters tall. This was gonna be an Ultraman tokusatsu-style showdown fit for the history books.

KRAIII-OOOOONGK!

The second Titano roared, I charged him, hitting him with a wrestling-style clothesline that sent him slamming onto his back so hard it shook the ground like it was the 1960 Valdiva earthquake in Chile, and the shockwaves kicked the Richter scales up to 9.6. Amazingly, Titano hopped to his clawed feet, shook it off, whipped his tail, roared, and charged. But I was too quick. I came up under him, grabbed him by the throat in one of my giant Ultraman-sized Mega hands, picking him up off the ground so high, you would’ve said it was more impressive than The Big Show in WWE’s WrestleMania MCMLX. Yeah, you read that right, the 1,960th WrestleMania in the year 3,945 A.D., baby! Then, for my finishing move, I choke-slammed Titano onto his back so hard, the Richter went off the scale and tripped over to 11.0, making Nigel Tufnel proud. This one really does go to eleven. In other words, a new world record! The crowd goes wild and the ringside bell dings and dings and dings while I jump for joy under streamers and confetti falling from the arena ceiling.

Fade to blurry squiggles.

Back to harsh reality.

You know that point in the movie when you realize the hero just indulged in a murderous fantasy but didn’t follow through on it because it was just plain stupid?

This was that moment.

I already knew my ring didn’t have enough energy to size me up as big as Titano. Not even close. Even if I could manage it briefly, I doubted my size increase would last more than a few seconds. Not long enough for me to finish off Titano in a wrestling match, even without the pro-wrestling insanity. And worse, Titano would probably end up body slamming me onto the outpost, killing everyone inside.

Sadly, boring logic said I couldn’t Incredible Hulk my way out of this situation at any size. I’d have to Reed-Richards-of-the-Fantastic-Four my way out, and that meant using Titano’s size against him.

He had size — or should I say mass — to spare.

Mass I could extract with my rings and store as energy like I had with Hoppy the Tristurtian Gorlak.

I concentrated on MASS in my HUD until it flickered. Shrinking my opponents was my go-to attack move, and I’d used it numerous times to great effect. My guess was, it might go slow with an opponent as big as Titano, but it was the best option I had.

At that moment, Sergeant Kane and her squad carrying oversized energy rifles went swooping in toward Titano’s enormous
