Monsuno: Project Cerberus

'Cerberus' is the Storm prototype for a mass produced K9 unity on steroids to patrol cities, act as guard/attack dogs and raid illegal Monsuno fight rings as well as illegal Monsuno essence trading.

⚡⚡⚡

Helena Griffin is the daughter of the scientific Daniel Griffin, head of his own Storm funded laboratory, Helena is astmathic and despite having to be monitored closely at all times manages to live a rather normal life but her condition makes it hard for her to keep up physically with others, her father, sensing her loneliness, came home one night with something hidded under his jacket, a stray puppy named Taffy.

The two grew very close and Taffy now works as her personal service dog and best friend, despite being a rather sizable pitbull, Taffy is nothing but sweet and gentle, always at the ready to comfort Helena during her asthma attacks while Helena comforts her as well during thunderstorms, which her canine companion is afraid of. Daniel, on the other hand, his workaholic ways made him a very forgetful and fidgeting man that is always on a hurry. This would have undesired consequences as, one night, being called for a work related emergency in the middle of a heavy storm, Taffy, protective as always and sensing his distress, escorted him through the door without him noticing and on his hurry he left the front gate open which allowed her to keep following him outside of their home. A bright lightning followed by deafening thunder made Taffy panic and run into an incoming car, ending her life instantly.

Consumed by guilt and unable to face Helena, Daniel carried her beloved guardian's body in the back of the car and, secretly, put it through the process of Monsuno creation using already existing blueprints of a prototype: Project Cerberus.

Reincarnated into a mighty creature, Taffy immediatelly recognized Daniel and, with her personality intact, it was as if she was never gone...

Merverse Part 1 | Part 2

rated M, gore, trauma, death, war, betrayal, language barrier. Echo/Fives(/Rex if you squint)

Fives is a pretty experienced dude, as these things go. He’s a sergeant and a raider and he is good enough to be on the team of The Marine, MSgt Ward. He loves what he does and he is skilled at it.

He’s never seen anything like this.

He’s in the weird zone now where his body is doing all the things it needs to do to survive, but his mind is feeding him a constant stream of bullshit like how the sea really does look like wine, Odysseus had it right. He was a warrior aboard a ship too, and damn.

The blood in the water is going to be attracting sharks. He scans frantically, trying to locate his troopers, Jester, or Hound and Grizzer. Slick’s boys are supposed to be holding the other side, but he can’t tell in this clusterfuck.

Too far away to easily get to, he thinks he sees Top’s distinctive dark beard …and the way the grunt with him moves, that’s Jester located. Bacara’s got him, he’ll be alright. Fives is probably going to get his ass chewed by his master sergeant for misplacing his shiny, but his kid isn’t alone and he has better than even odds of making it with that kind of buddy. That’s more important than Fives’ pride.

Lt Tano and Gunny Faie are still in play, he sees by the pop of smoke to his starboard, but they aren’t his concern. Where are the rest of his boys?

He puts two fingers in his mouth and whistles sharp and loud, then moves. It’ll get SGT G’s attention at least, and when his ears perk up, Hound will notice. He can’t stay where he whistled from though, too much of an enemy target there.

He’s not even sure who the enemy is, at this point. Everything is insane, storm thrashing, water roiling, thunder and lighting, shouts and screaming. There’s some kind of whirlpool happening, and his mind goes Greek Classics again—Charybdis. Now all they need is a six-headed monster to eat squads at a time and a bunch of sirens trying to drown them.

There’s a surprising amount of solid surface for a sea battle, though very little of it is level. Ships have toppled and collided, wreckage and flotsam making a half-submerged shifting maze.

He hears the scramble, splatter, wet patter, and jingle of Sergeant G coming out of the water. He acknowledges her and looks up for Corporal Hound, who should be right behind him. Empty space.

Grizzer runs up to him and noses his knees, turns twice for ‘follow me’, and runs back to the edge of the deck, leaning down. Fives goes to see, maybe Hound is still climbing. Maybe he sent Sergeant G to Search.

It is not Hound.

Well. It is. It’s just …not anymore. His body bobs in the water nearby, dead beyond a doubt. Ravaged, nearly in half. Grizzer is whining and pawing at the deck edge. She must have rescue-dragged the body of her handler the whole way here. Fives’ heart goes out to their K9. “Good girl, Grizzer; good job, girl,” he says with tears threatening in his throat, ruffling the dog’s ears.

Taking his blade between his teeth, he goes down the side of the platform and into the water with no splash. It’ll be gory, but he cannot leave a fallen brother behind. He secures Corporal Hound’s remains above deck as far above the waterline as he can, marking the location and hoping this wreckage doesn’t shift and sink before they can retrieve him.

“Leave it,” he commands the mastiff, knowing it’s not fair but necessary and might save Grizzer’s life.

“Sergeant Torres!!” That’s Lt Garcia’s voice! He’s never heard such a beautiful sound in his life, not even when they’d been sobbing out his name —and not his last name— just the other day. They haven’t defined anything yet, only been tipsy and giggling together, sharing a bunk a couple times, haven’t even gone on a date. Fives looks around to locate them and his brain chooses that moment to remind him of sirens’ mimicry again. Cautiously, he goes on the move.

“Grizzer, Heel,” he commands in a hoarse whisper, and Grizzer’s ears go alert. She comes in close, and then Fives sends her around the corner, “Grizzer, Search.” She really is a good marine. Fives hefts his long knife in a reverse grip, not even trying to mess with his sidearm in this kind of wet.

Grizzer barks once sharply for contact and then makes no more noise. “Grizzer, good girl. Did you find Fives? God, I hope so,” Echo says, sounding exhausted. He doesn’t indicate duress, even though he’s apparently forgotten all of the approved commands. Good enough, even though neither marine has given the all-clear.

He comes round the corner and stops dead. The corridor tilts downward and is half-submerged. It is Echo there, crumpled against a bulkhead, wan and somehow diminished, but at least it’s not their midsection missing. They’re wet and bloody and have an emergency blanket wrapped around them. Their legs must be tucked underneath, but they’re too low to be kneeling.

Behind them, half-immersed with elbows out of the water, is a stranger. A very, very large, sharp-toothed, shark-finned stranger.

Sing to me, oh muse, thinks Fives a little hysterically. Monsters of the deep are real.

Doctor Who: The Five Doctors

I rewatched this story on 25 April 2023. It's not quite forty years after I first saw a version of it in Australia during an amazing thunder storm that put static through our video recording of it. I recall the nervousness of whether or not we’d lose the picture if the electricity cut out. Anyway, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen this adventure in a few different forms. The one I watched for this was the 1999 DVD special edition… Lawks, that's 24 years old now... Anyway, 20 years of a TV show! Not many can claim such a record…

We begin with a short pre-credit grainy monochrome clip of William Hartnell from when he farewelled the first travelling companion to leave the TARDIS. That was the first real time I ever saw him as Dr Who.

We then join Turlough sketching outside. In the TARDIS, we see a brand new console and Tegan in a new outfit. The Doctor and Tegan join Turlough outside, and the Doctor suffers a twinge of cosmic angst. Meanwhile, the Doctor (Richard Hurndall) is snatched up by a weird thing; he later pairs up with Susan. Then we go to UNIT HQ where the Brigadier (retired) is looking forward to a reunion… he should be careful about what he wishes for! The Doctor (Patrick Troughton) arrives and they are both snatched up by the weird thing. The Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is driving Bessie, when he’s snatched up by the weird thing. Sarah Jane Smith pays attention to K9 issuing a warning, but ignores him when he mentions the Doctor, and the weird thing snatches her. The Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana are punting on the Cam (a scene from Shada). The weird thing fails to snatch them. 

And then we turn up on Gallifrey, looking once more like it has for each time since The Deadly Assassin. This time, the Master is invited to rescue the Doctor who has been trapped in Gallifrey’s death zone to play the game of Rassilon. It’s a rather fun framing device for an adventure bringing in so many old friends and foes together, plus a few new foes. Not all of it makes sense — and there are hilarious trips and falls — but that’s fine. So many quotable quotes! Yes, I love this story.

Title: As The Rain Falls Pairings: Narvin/Leela Summary: As Narvin waits for Leela to return, he ponders on his own mortality as the rain falls. Set between Gallifrey series 4.

-

Narvin pulled his cloak tightly around him and shivered as he prodded the fire with a stick. Leela had been gone for a couple of hours and normally, he wouldn’t be concerned for he knew Leela was more than capable of taking care of herself but it was growing dark and the portal back to the Axis was due tomorrow morning. 

Thunder rolled across the sky and he flinched when a flash of lightning crackled like a whip unleashed at a circus to tame a mighty lion. Rain began to pour, and fell into a gentle soothing rhythm outside the cave that they sought shelter in. 

He only hoped Romana and Braxiatel were having a better time on the Axis than he was in this miserable cave.

There plan had been to gather supplies for the Axis, for they were running low on food and medicine and other necessities. Romana had suggested the two to split up, whilst she and Braxiatel fixed the computers with K9 as the computers had been playing up recently, thanks to the cheap second-hand machines Braxiatel acquired. 

Narvin had strongly argued that in an ideal situation, he would have been more suited to fix the computer given his engineering background, but Leela had given him a stern look, indicating that Braxiatel and Romana needed some time alone together to talk through things before she dragged him by the elbow, and threw the portal before he could so much as open his mouth to complain.
