Giants Of Mars

Her beautiful face smiled and she looked directly in his eyes, and in that moment, it was clear to him that she was reading his mind; suddenly a flash exploded from Lexis’s head; her skull and brain matter splashed on to his visor, blinding his visual spectrum. His sensors glowed; a human form stood fifty feet behind where Lexis once was. Instinctively, Jason zeroed in on the infrared image, and unleashed a volley of smart grenades. The ground erupted in a concussion of smoke and fire, instantly killing the hidden man. Jason did not know that he just killed Learner Rotterdam. Jason frantically wiped at his visor, and he could now see her life’s essence on his hands.
He screamed, “No!” His head swelled with such a pain, he dropped to his knees balling over Lexis’s headless body. “I need you, Lexis!”
He stood up in a fit of rage but there was nothing he could do. Nothing would save her this time. Gazing at her in disbelief, Jason stepped backward away from her dead body until he bumped into some, “TIME.”
His body felt stretched when he accidently stepped into a Time Bubble that opened behind him. He was in a state of disbelief that she was gone, and he fulminated over Lexis’s death. He could not care what was happening to him until he glimpsed into the past before stepping out of the Bubble; where a group of men stood waiting to enter the Teserak at Chasm Fat Boy.
Jason’s rage had him pulling the trigger on his rail gun before he had even emerged from the wormhole, and in doing so he had cleared a path, killing everyone in his way.
The destructive rampage of the Humanoids, back on Mars, had altered the Quantum Foam Bubble. They damaged the miniaturized generator on board the Chameleon, sending Jason back in time to when the Teserak’s first Time Bubble opened.
Jason stormed off the Teserak’s platform, stepped over Sergeant Longcra’s dead body that lay splayed amongst the two Combat SYNs; and scanned his forefront, destroying anything that moved. Until in the namesake of revenge, he could not believe his fortuitous but insidious luck; there was Learner Rotterdam running next to Mitchell Thacker towards the Raven.
Captain Rengar Falger was inside the Raven when he saw a man emerge from the Teserak, blasting everything in sight. He immediately fired up the Raven’s engine but it would take a few minutes to move the ship. He watched the armored man fire a grenade, bouncing it off the Raven, where it exploded right in front of Learner and Mitchell. They both sprawled out wounded.
Jason walked up and pulled off Learner’s helmet and looked into his eyes. Learner was wounded but conscious, and when Jason was satisfied that Learner had recognized him, Jason grabbed his throat, and ripped the larynx from the man’s neck. Mitchell Thacker looked on in horror as blood fountained from his best friend’s body. Jason then grabbed Mitchell Thacker by the collar, stood up, and stomped on Learner; crushing his head, ending him once and for all.
With Mitchell in one hand, Jason bolted inside the Raven where he threw Mitchell at Falger’s feet, and forcefully spoke. “Close her up, and target the wormhole drive!”
Falger was frozen in a state of pure fear, when Mitchell defiantly yelled, “Fuck you, Bjorn!”
Falger watched Jason step on Mitchell’s balls, crushing them. The Captain of the Raven did not need any more motivation. Pointing his weapon at the back of Captain Rengar Falger’s head, Jason watched the Raven’s missiles destroy the Quantum Foam Generator.
