Chapter 217
The red dust storm boiled around them, the cavern vibrating with the last echoes of war. Jack Parker stood tall, the dragon dagger glowing in his grip, his visor gleaming like molten steel. The swarm had come with fury, but it was meeting something greater—something ancient.One stroke. Twenty. Thirty. Fifty.Each slash cut through alien flesh and obsidian armor, the dagger humming louder, brighter, its energy spiraling into the dust-filled air like lightning chains from another world. The shrieks of the creatures rattled through the cavern, but their numbers dwindled.And then, suddenly, something shifted.The aliens stopped pressing. Their red eyes, once a wall of fire, flickered uncertainly. Their clawed feet scraped back across the stone, their bodies quivering like predators scenting their own death. Thousands remained, but none dared step forward.One by one, they stepped back.And then—as if answering some silent command—they melted into the storm itself. Their forms dissolved
Chapter 216
The red-eyed swarm tightened. Their shrieks rattled the cavern walls, their claws hammering against the DragonGP’s failing shield. The air itself seemed to quake under the pressure.Jack’s jaw clenched. The dagger’s case pulsed faintly, its hum alive, as though it too sensed what was coming.With one sharp motion, he unlatched the case and drew it.The dragon dagger slid free, its blade aglow with an otherworldly brilliance—light that wasn’t light, sound that wasn’t sound. The humming deepened until every ribcage in the DragonGP seemed to vibrate with its song. Sparks of energy crackled along its edges like chained lightning.Emily gasped. “God… it’s glowing—”Sarah’s voice broke into a whisper. “No… it’s answering.”Jack didn’t hesitate. He thrust the dagger toward the swarm, the blade catching every red eye in its reflection, and then he moved.The DragonGP’s hatch hissed open.“Jack—wait!” Ryan shouted, ripping free of his harness. “You’re not going alone!”Jack didn’t even glance

The red eyes multiplied. At first there were dozens—then hundreds—blinking into existence against the crystalline spires like a swarm of scarlet embers rising from hell itself. They moved forward in eerie synchronization, emerging not only ahead but behind, encircling the cavern like predators closing in. The air vibrated, heavy with their presence.Inside the DragonGP, the tension was a living thing. Lena pressed both hands against her ears as if to block out a sound no one else could hear. “They’re everywhere!” she screamed, her voice cracking. “Jack, they’re everywhere!”Matilda clutched Jackson’s arm so tightly her nails dug into his suit. “We can’t outrun that—look at them, there’s too many!”Jackson’s camera shook in his trembling grip. He wanted to capture it, to record proof of this nightmare, but for the first time his hand refused to obey. “Dad… they’re not just chasing us—they’re hunting us.”Jack’s hands remained locked on the controls, his knuckles firm, his jaw set. Not
Chapter 214
The DragonGP slid across the Martian plain, its hum low and steady, like the purr of some great beast perfectly at ease in its own domain. Dust veiled the stars above, but the glow ahead remained unyielding—brighter now, bleeding into the horizon as though something beneath the planet’s skin was trying to break free.Inside the cabin, no one spoke for a long time. Each of them sat locked in their own silence, eyes fixed forward. Jackson clutched his wrist-com, fingers twitching with the urge to snap another photo, but even he hesitated this time.At last, Ryan broke it. His voice was rough, low. “Jack… how far are we going? Because this—this feels like stepping off the map.”Jack didn’t take his eyes off the horizon. His voice came steady, unwavering. “That’s because we are. Science hasn’t touched this place. No probe, no rover, no satellite has mapped what lies here. Every meter we travel now, we’re charting for the first time in human history.”Emily shifted in her seat, her fingers
Chapter 213
The DragonGP hummed forward, its repulsor fields humming louder as dust began to sweep across the plain. A storm was building somewhere beyond the canyon, pale red clouds spiraling upward and stretching across the thin sky like a veil. The glow from the depths of Valles Marineris still pulsed faintly behind them, but Jack’s gaze remained fixed ahead.“Strap in tighter,” Jack instructed, his voice steady but edged with something sharp. “Mars is shifting. The winds here are not like Earth’s. They’re older. Wiser.”Jackson glanced out the wraparound projection of the DragonGP. Dust swirled like liquid flame, curling around invisible currents. He snapped a photo instinctively. SNAP! The storm froze in his wrist-com. He whispered, “It feels alive.”“It is alive,” Matilda muttered, hugging her arms to her chest. “It’s like the planet is breathing.”Jack gave the faintest nod. “Good instinct. Mars doesn’t move without purpose.”The DragonGP surged faster, its shielding activating. Blue light
Chapter 212
The silence after Jack’s words hung in the thin Martian air. The group stood still, their visors reflecting the mountain’s impossible breadth, their hearts heavy with the knowledge that Olympus Mons wasn’t just a monument of nature—it was a reminder that Mars had secrets still locked away.But Jack didn’t let them linger too long.“Come,” he said, turning back down the ridge. “Olympus is only one face of Mars. There’s more you need to see.”They followed him, boots crunching softly against the red dust. Their steps carried them back toward the slope, where a sleek silhouette waited in the distance—a gleaming vehicle crouched like a dragon of chrome and obsidian. Its body was sculpted into aerodynamic lines, shimmering faintly under the stars. Its wheels were like orbs rather than tires, hovering just a breath above the ground, leaving no tracks behind.Jackson blinked. “That… is that a car?”Jack’s visor tilted toward his son. “Not just a car. The DragonGP. Built to travel where no ro
