ATOMIC REX: BALLAD OF BRAVURA

severed_press_ — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 07:20:28 +0000

Prior to the kaiju leaving the microcontinent on which they were spawned, several countries laid claim to the newly discovered landmass. In an effort to gain control of the island, two superpowers sent their newest weapons of war in the form of giant mechs into the area. These prototype mechs were piloted by humans and were able to greatly enhance the soldiers’ capabilities on the battlefield. When the two forces came into conflict, their battle awakened the True Kaiju whom the world would come to know as Atomic Rex! The nuclear nightmare laid waste to all but two of these early mech models, before beginning his domination of the western hemisphere. Twenty years later, these two survivors still roam the Earth, in mech suits that are not as advanced as the newer models the True Kaiju destroyed. One of these men is the pilot of Atlus: Codenman; Bravura. He seeks both purpose and direction to his life as he survives in a world dominated by monsters. The other warrior intends to use his mech to slay the two beings on the planet who have managed to best him in combat: Atomic Rex and Bravura’s pilot. As these two men are moving toward each other, Chris Myers is teaching his daughter Emily how to operate Steel Samurai 2.0. Chris knows that the burden of leadership is shifting from him and his wife to their daughter, and he is actively training her for that role. Bravura, Steel Samurai 2.0, the vengeance-seeking mech pilot, Atomic Rex, and a mixed band of marauders and mutants will all meet up in an explosive confrontation near a human settlement in Mexico, as the Ballad of Bravura begins.

With stellar monstrosities at their door, and the remnants of an angry pantheon waiting for an opportunity to destroy them utterly, humanity and Chimera are backed into a corner. If they fall, then all earths will topple, but Chimera’s love for Luke Davis and the rest of his adoptive family will drive the massive multibeast to hold strong and crush whatever foes are placed in his path, even if he must battle the Arena Champion himself. Aliens, gods, monsters, and giants battle each other as Gurral and Chimera clash with the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance!

The Newcomer suggests that on one of these worlds is a beast who can challenge Gurral. A beast who has crushed dozens of other kaiju. A beast known as Atomic Rex!The Newcomer manipulates both the Arena Lords and Gurral into sending the Smasher to battle and capture Atomic Rex so that the nuclear therapod may fight in the arena! When Gurral travels to Atomic Rex’s Earth a battle ensues between the two kaiju the likes of which the Arena Lords have never seen. As the monsters battle for supremacy the Newcomer’s true motives and the dimension shattering reasons behind them will be revealed.

MARSH THING

severed_press_ — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 21:17:00 +0000

The end of the world is nigh as two scientists with very different epistemologies have made the discoveries of a generation.

Rasheeda Flehr is a religious zealot who has believes she has found the means to unleash the Apocalypse. She feels that this discovery is a command from God to free the Horsemen and bring about the events prophesized in the book of Revelations.

The other scientist is Sarah Johnson a paleobotanist who has discovered a colony of ancient predatory microbes frozen beneath a glacier in Greenland. She learns that when these microbes are brought into contact with plant life they can control it and force it to take whatever form is needed to hunt down its prey.

As Rasheeda lets her discovery loose upon the world Sarah is faced with an impossible choice. Does she use the monster she has found to try and stop the apocalypse, or in doing so would she put the world in greater danger than it is already in?

Led by the titan Cronus, the Dark Ones unleash numerous monsters, demons, and giants from the realm of myth onto the planet with the directive to destroy all forms of life. Realizing that the monsters under his command may not be capable of defeating the hybrid, Cronus searches parallel Earths to find a monster who is strong enough to challenge Chimera. After scouring countless Earths, Cronus finds Atomic Rex. With his vast powers, Cronus sends Atomic Rex to Chimera’s Earth and sets the monster loose. The few gods that remain alive after the war with humans, discover Cronus’s intentions. The gods reluctantly ally themselves with humans and Chimera in an attempt to save the planet. Chimera and Atomic Rex will fight their way through the gods and monster of myth as they both head to the greatest challenge either one of them has ever faced in each other.
