A new threat to humanity

"D-Did, you just speak to me," the child said with a hint of fear in his voice. Luke looked at the child for a bit before opening his mouth.

"Do you understand me?" He said once more.

"Y-yes I understand you," the child said as he stared at look with fear visible in his eyes. "Good," Luke said as he moved his head away from the child.

"Where are we?" Luke said as he stared at the child.

"I don't know," the child said.

"Hmmm?" Luke looked at the sky for a bit before looking back at the child. "Why are you here?" he said as he looked at the child's missing arm.

"I don't know; I was brought here by my mother to celebrate something."

"What happened to your mother?" Luke said as he stared at him. The child began to tear up before crying. He then pointed at something, and when Luke looked at where he pointed, he could see a torn-up body.

"Ah, I see," Luke said before staring back at the child. Luke began to contemplate something in his head before nodding.

"Would you like to come with me?" Luke said.

The boy looked at Luke for a bit before asking, "Why?"

"You don't have any parents correct, and I don't think you can survive out here by yourself for very long. Also, all the nearby towns have been overwhelmed by the creatures, and there is no sight of civilization for miles. " The last part is false since there is a nearby town held up by a military force. Luke doesn't know what force they are a part of, but seeing how many there are, they are most likely a secret force or a recently made one.

"So will you like to come with me? I will treat you as my son if you would like, " When Luke said 'son', the boy flinched for a bit before looking at Luke for a bit.

The boy opened his mouth for a bit before closing it and just nodding. "Good now climb onto my back," Luke said as he laid his body on the ground.

The boy got up and tried to climb onto his back but failed when he tried to grab Luke's back with his missing arm. "Allow me to help," Luke said as he used the blunt part of his weapon tail to pick the boy up and place him on his back.

The boy was scared at first but then calmed down when he felt Luke's warm body. For some reason, the warmth made it feel as if he was snuggling a big fluffy dog, even though Luke had no hair on his body.

"Hold on," Luke said as he used his weapon tail to hold onto the boy more tightly. "Wh-" before he could speak, Luke began to run through the woods. The destination was, of course, his home at the research center. Luke looked at the sky and finally noticed that it had become nighttime. as he stared at the sky he noticed that there were no stars in the sky, "how strange?"

As he ran through the woods, he could see various types of creatures attacking others for some odd reason. He was about to stop to see why these creatures were attacking one another but remembered the boy on his back.

"I'll come back once I take this boy back to my cave," Luke said to himself as he continued running through the woods.

In the deepest parts of the forest, a creature referred to as a 'Night Shade' could be seen walking towards a cave. Its left eye could be seen pulsing and bulging. The creature didn't care about the eye, or it didn't care about anything but going into the cave.

It didn't know why, but it felt as if something was calling it into the cave. When it entered the cave, the pulsating eye soon began to grow more and more. The Night Shade didn't care and instead just fell onto the cold floor.

It began to breathe heavily and rapidly. It didn't know why, but for some reason, It felt more at peace in this cave than anywhere else.

The creature soon began to close its eye slowly. As it was closing its eye, it felt something pop on the side of its head, but it didn't care for it was now able to sleep.

As the creature shut its eyes, it could hear a voice. "Thank you, Mother, for taking me to this beautiful home. Do not worry; I will survive and hopefully meet Father, " the voice said. The voice sounded relaxing, and it could feel a soft, warm hand pressing on its head. The hand began to slowly pet the Night Shade's head, and this helped the Night Shade finally go into its slumber.

"Mother, you may rest now. I will go out and find my father. But I must first prove that I am worthy to be called his son, " the voice said as it looked out of the cave.

The sky was turning dark, and if indicating something terrible, no stars could be seen in the sky. The only place showing light was in a place the voice could remember father hates.

A place that held creatures that father hated for disturbing his peace.

The voice soon walked out of the cave when the darkness fully blanketed the night. It began to walk towards a smell. As it walked toward the smell it could feel various things happening in its body. It did not mind this feeling and only focused on the smell.

Once it reached where the smell is strongest it could see the torn-up body of the creature its father hated. It grabbed a piece of the creature and put it in its mouth.

It soon became intoxicated and began to devour the body. When it came back to its senses the body was nothing but bones.

"Grr*"

The voice heard a growling noise behind it and saw five Cyclops-like wolves staring at it. They didn't have any hair and instead just had a yellow hide covering its body.

One of these creatures launched itself onto the voice, but before it could do feel something empty. It looked down and noticed nothing but the rough ground. It stared up and could see its headless body standing there and a creature standing over its body. The body soon fell onto the ground the head of the creature finally closed its eyes.

The other creatures seeing how quickly their comrade was killed turned around to run away but stopped when they could see the voice standing behind them. Before they could do anything the voice raised its hand high up into the air and swinger its arm down, decapitating all the Cyclop like creatures.

When all the creature's bodies collapsed on the ground the voice pressed its hand on one of the dead bodies. The voice then lifted its hand from the dead body and soon a white pulsating bump appeared on the surface of the body.

"Excellent," the voice said as he looked at the palm of its hand. Soon a tendril that resembled Luke's second tongue slowly pierced out of its palm. It lifted its other palm and another tendril appeared.

Soon the tendril stabbed the dead bodies one by one making the spots they pierced turn white and pulsate.

The voice dragged the bodies one by one back into the cave and put them all into the entrance of the cave. It then went deep into the cave and waited. It stayed in the same spot for minutes or hours. It does not know and only knows it must wait.

The voice would occasionally eat bits of its mother, while also not trying to damage her bones. It looked back up when it hear a clicking noise.

It could see a creature that resembled a scorpion's body with the head of a snake looking at it. "A Scorp," the voice said as information about the creature flooded its head.

Scorps was a creature that had a body of a Scorpion, this includes its tail while having the head of a cobra. Their carapace was black with yellow swirls going up to its head. They are well known for their scavenger-like attitude, but they will of course go for any young animal even if it cost its life. Though they will mainly use their eyes can also hunt and attack by feeling for vibrations.

It put its hand on its head for a bit before lowering it down and standing up. "I see, well this will be fun," the voice said as it was about to charge at the Scorp. But didn't when it heard popping noises. It looked at the dead bodies and could see several paled skin creatures crawling out of a white hole that was in the body of the creature.

The small creatures had a mouth that resembled a bird beaks, arms that were long and elongated, and legs that were skinny as a stick but as long as a branch. The creatures had feathers on the back of their head and a tail that resembled Luke's weapon tail except for the fact that on the other side of the scythe part was another scythe making it look like a axe head. They also had the same amount, shape, and color of eyes that Luke had.

"They look like me," the voice said as it to looked like these creatures. Seeing this the Scorp launched itself at the newborn ready to turn them into its next meal.

As it reached one of the newborns, the newborn swiped its Cresent tail at its neck. The Scorp, at the last moment, moved its head away from the Cresent moon blade. But as it was ready to strike its jaw down onto the newborn it felt a sharp pain in its back.

It cried and turned around to see another newborn clawing at its back. It was about to strike the newborn but was stopped when two other newborns jumped on its face and cut both of its eyes.

The Scorp cried out in pain and involuntary took a couple of steps back. The voice took this as an opportunity to attack the legs of the creature.

The voice dashed towards the creature's legs and opened its mouth when it was close to one. The Scorp, feeling the rapid vibration, moved its head toward the voice. It was ready to launch its head but stopped when it felt more and more vibrations around it.

It wasn't one or two vibrations but multiple. The Scorp got confused for a bit but realized what was going on and tried to prepare.

But it was already too late.

The voice swung its Cresent moon tail at the Scorp's neck and was able to cut it off. When the head plopped onto the ground the voice looked at it for a bit before eating it.

Soon the newborns, which were running around the Scorp causing it to be confused, joined in and began to eat the head.

When all that was left were bones the voice looked at the sky and tried to roar. But instead of a roar, a burst of bone-chilling laughter left its mouth. The newborn soon joined in and began to make bone-chilling noises as well.

The noises they made resembled the cry of the Scorp when it was being clawed at and had its eyes cut.
