Worm starcraft

ch1

They were going to kill children. No, this was unacceptable.

The group of 30 Azn Bad Boys had chosen the wrong night to go breaking the law. Lung would be a problem. Still if I went in quickly there would be little he could do to stop me.

Connecting to the swarm took less than a moment. Pulling more of the dog sized creatures to me would take a few seconds, so my entrances would need to be flashy and chaotic enough that their reaction would be disorganized. Plan in mind the operation was a go.

I leapt from the roof, my enhanced musculature cushioned my landing and a second later I had already passed half the group.

As they started to react, aiming guns in my direction I had passed the rest. With Lung directly in front of me only a few would dare shoot.

My Swarm was close enough now that they could be heard, only a few more seconds and the first few would be close enough to see.

I had more important things to do though, Lung was my target and I needed to take him out as soon as possible before he became tough enough that we could not hurt him faster than he regenerated. Anything but a pushover he reacted admirably and shot a quick jab. I did not doubt that with his enhanced strength even this would be damaging enough to buy him time. So I ducked underneath and was inside his guard. My hair-chitin, voluminous as it was, did not follow me fast enough and managed to get tangled around his fist. My movement was now severely limited. Thankfully I was both too focused to let the pain of it tearing at my scalp distract me and I was already close enough.

I forced as much strength as I could into my strike taking the momentum the charge had left me with and jammed my arm into his chest. The pain and shock of the attack startled Lung and gave me the moment I needed to plant my feet, grip what I was fairly sure was either his heart or a corner of his lung and tear it free.

His cry of agony only a few seconds after my appearance panicked some of the gangers.

At the same time, from both entrances into the alley, my 'dogs' tore in and attacked the rest.

A few managed to get a shot off while my swarm viciously tore them apart, splattering blood and viscera over the surroundings.

In front of me Lung collapsed. His regeneration was already at work. It would likely not be fast enough to save him. Still he had fought an Endbringer to a standstill, I would be cautious. Swiftly I knelt down beside him and used my right hand to grip his head and turned him to look me in the eyes. My right deposited the pulped remains of his heart on his chest. Tilting his head back a bit so I had a clear shot at his throat I speared my hand through the concave of his throat, up through the back and into the majority of his brain. I kept my hand in place to stop all possible regeneration, simultaneously directing the the rest of my swarm here as they finished off the last of the group.

When silence fell, the gunshots having stopped and the last of them was dead. I directed the ten of my still living dogs to take the body of Lung back to the lair and the evolution chamber. Perhaps there would be adaptations the swarm could benefit from.

The other five were directed to eat the remains of the gangers. Waste not want not, after all.

I walked off as I directed my attention back to the rest of my swarm that was patrolling the city now. Brockton Bay's genepool was in need of a serious trimming.

The fight had lasted two minutes from start to finish, five minutes later the bodies were gone and only the blood and remaining small viscera that wasn't worth eating remained.

Two minutes after that the undersiders arrived to find nothing. Tattletale was terrified. The rest only worried.

AN: Spoilers: Taylor as queen of the swarm. I was reading Worm fanfiction and eventually got severely annoyed with the bullshit no kill stance of most authors. So here Lung gets taken out more or less immediately, Emma, Maddison, and Shadowstalker either get killed with a shiv to the back or assimilated into the swarm depending on how high profile I want to make the kill and how OP the swarm would be. The next chapter would be a flashback to show how she built up the swarm and how the bitches three were dealt with.
