A story taking place in the year 2050. Humanity has progressed to a technological peak, mastering space travel, and harbouring massive machines to wage their wars, and everything seemed to winding down to world peace. But the world was dying, a new home was needed. The countries of the world banded together to develop Project: EVACUATION, a project that would allow the entire population of the world to move on to greener pastures. Unfortunately, resources were also scarce, and humanity had to resort to taking resources from `Dead Planets`. On one such expedition, to a planet named Rygar IV, life was found. A small, nearly microscopic being, but still the most incredible discovery in space life yet. The being was taken back onto the ship as the planet was harvested.

Unfortunately, upon re-entry, the ship malfunctioned, and crashed off the coast of Africa. Salvagers immediately arrived on the scene, and began taking whatever drifted to shore. One man witnessed a strange little creature swim ashore, which he quickly put inside a small container he had brought along. Soon, the creature ended up in the hands of the African government, and the news leaked that it was like nothing ever seen before. The American government, having already retrieved what little they could from the crash, recognized the news of the creature from the reports from the ship. They regained the being, and returned it to America, where it was shipped off to a subsidiary of Area 51.

Initial research yielded little information, but eventually they discovered an unknown organ that seemed to expand when exposed to air. Before much else could be learned, the creature escaped during the night. Slinking through the desert, it slowly grew in size, until it reached a small nearby town. The creature...took shelter within a woman, and used her as a host, slowly growing inside her body. Eventually bursting free, the creature retreated to a museum outside town. This museum just happened to be getting a tour from a nearby school the next day.

To cut this short, it gets worse. Much, much worse.

This story provides examples of:

  • And I Must Scream: The Infected are completely aware in the first stages of mutation, and are in constant agonizing pain. They are often seen apologizing as they tear people apart.
  • Apocalypse How: Class X
  • Apocalypse Wow
  • Area 51: A subsidary, but essentially the same thing.
  • Body Horror: If one of the parasites gets in you, this is going to happen. Results vary wildly, but all are disturbing.
  • Combat Tentacles: The Krhashatha and a few of its spawn, namely Omega.
  • Cosmic Horror Story
  • Downer Ending: Almost all of humanity dies, and the Krhashatha is free to travel the universe.
  • Eldritch Abomination: The Krhashatha and its species.
  • The End of the World as We Know It: Literally. Ninety-nine percent of the population is killed and the planet is destroyed.
  • From a Single Cell: The Krhashatha
  • Gorn: A lot. There is eviscerations, mutilations, heads exploding and oh so much more.
  • Mind Rape: The Krhashatha can make people see things, like say...You're fighting it, and you think you've won, the Krhashatha will make you "see" your victory, when in reality, it's freeing itself and coming for you. Its touch breaks you free, and brings you back to reality. And don't stare at it for too long, lest your mind destroys itself.
  • Multiversal Conqueror: It is implied that the Krhashatha can rip open holes to other dimensions and realities. It is further implied it does this after the annihilation of one reality to move onto the next.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: The Krhashatha. Able to survive an internally detonated nuke, being sawed in half by an orbital laser, impalement, thousands of rounds of gunfire, a blast from an alien mothership, and having one of its hearts destroyed. Among other things.
  • Planet Eater: The Krhashatha
  • Precursors: The Krhashatha's species as well as the Gorgonoth. Although the latter came a few million years later.
  • Psychological Horror: The Krhashatha can, and will, inflict this.
  • Pulling Themselves Together: Take a guess at who has this ability.
  • Serial Escalation: How gory can the series get? How much ridiculous punishment can the Krhashatha take? How awesome will the next sequence of destruction be? How big will the Krhashatha get? How many cigars will General Rathus smoke?
  • Starfish Aliens: Once again, the Krhashatha's species.
  • The Stinger: After the credits, the Krhashatha is seen crashing into a planet. One nearly 50 times the size of Earth.
  • These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: The Krhashatha can mind rape like few others, as a Gorgonoth captain put so eloquently, "The Krhashatha is the progenitor, of its species, and all species. We are unaware how, but it, along with a few other members of its species, seemingly have all the history and knowledge of the universe stored in their minds. We...tried to harness some of this knowledge for ourselves, but it was futile. Our greatest scientists were driven insane, screaming aloud about how indecipherable images were speeding through their minds. One managed to tell me that the entire history of the universe sped through his mind within seconds...moments before his brain imploded. One of the scientists survived long enough to write a message in his blood. It was gibberish, describing how the images he saw were impossible, indecipherable, completely alien. Their minds tore themselves apart, piece-by-piece, trying to comprehend these creatures. I dread what this one can do to you. It is far more powerful than the ones we encountered."
