Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties

The water inside the Hydrocage spun faster.

Inferon stood in the center, soaked, battered, and breathing hard.

His golden mane, once burning bright, now flickered weakly.

Every step he took made steam rise, but it was clear.

He was slowing down.

Across the arena, Brutaurus didn't slow at all.

The massive beast charged again.

It slammed into Inferon with its shoulder.

Sending the lion skidding backward across the flooded floor.

"Come on, Inferon… Hang in there."

The lion tried to roar, but it came out ragged.

He jumped back, claws lit with fire, and swiped.

But Brutaurus blocked it with one arm.

It then used the other to slam Inferon into the ground.

Fiona's visor flashed red.

Vital signs dropping.

"Chat… tThisis bad. Inferon's losing. Fast."

@GETHIMOUT: RECALL HIM NOW!!!

@TOOMUCHDAMAGE: Why is Liora letting this happen

@BrutaurusIsABully: That last slam was insane

@NotAFairFight: This is water terrain. Inferon's too outmatched

@SteamIsGone: His fire is barely lit

@FIONAHELPHIM: Scream at Liora or something!

@SovereignPain: I can't watch this anymore

@CallBackNow: He already proved himself!

---

Brutaurus roared, mist blasting from its back vents.

It stomped toward Inferon again.

Inferon forced himself up.

His legs shook, and his flames tried to relight.

He took one step forward.

But suddenly, a portal appeared beneath him.

"Wait… what's that?!"

From the back of the arena, Liora raised one hand.

"That's enough."

Inferon then vanished.

He was quickly pulled back into Liora's system.

Brutaurus roared again, louder this time, steam blasting in all directions.

It beat its chest and stomped, victory clear in its movements.

@FinallySafe: SHE CALLED HIM BACK THANK GOD

@InferonNeedsRest: He gave it all

@RespectToTheKing: Inferon didn't run—he stood tall until the last second

@SoreLoserWho: Nah he earned respect today

@BrutaurusScaryAF: I get why that thing has 7-star taming difficulty

@CALLBACKWORKED: Liora pulled him back just in time

@FIONYXYOURTURN?: Is Fiona gonna fight next?!

@EMOTIONALDAMAGE: Why am I crying for a flame lion??

---

Fiona let out a breath and slumped slightly in the air.

"Alright, chat…"

"Inferon gave it everything. But this time… it wasn't enough."

She looked toward the water-soaked ruins.

"That thing—Brutaurus—it's no joke."

She glanced at her Fionyx drone.

"And now it's still waiting."

Fiona's eyes narrowed behind the visor.

"Guess it wants a new challenger."

@DOITFIONA: YO FIONA GET IN THERE

@DuelistTime: You're next on its list

@StreamerVsBrutaurus: Let's GOOOOO

@FIONYXBELIEVE: Don't leave us hanging!!

@TestYourMetal: Come on queen, do it for the stream!

---

Fiona blinked.

"…Hell no."

She frowned and leaned toward the camera drone.

"Have you SEEN what it just did to a flame lion the size of a van?"

"I'm here to stream, not become soup."

Fiona sighed.

"Okay, okay… We'll scout from a safe distance."

"But we're not jumping in unless Lord L himself presses the fight button."

@SmartMoveQueen: Thank you for choosing life

@StreamerNotSacrifice: Finally, a protagonist with sense

@ObservationModeOn: Let's analyze instead!

@StillContentThough: This stream still fire

---

Fiona then caught movement in the corner of her visor feed.

"Wait—what is she doing?"

She zoomed in.

Liora was walking.

Straight into the Hydrocage.

Brutaurus turned its massive head, noticing Liora.

Its eyes narrowed.

Why was a small human walking into its domain?

For a moment, the Sovereign beast seemed genuinely… puzzled.

It didn't roar. It didn't charge.

It simply stared.

Fiona's jaw dropped behind her visor.

"She's actually walking in there?!"

"Alone?! With no beast out?!"

@ISSHESUICIDAL: SHE WALKIN IN RAW???

@BRUTAURUSCONFUSED: Even the beast's like 'yo chill'

@QueenEnergy: Nah Liora built different

@SheDidntFlinch: No jetpack. No Inferon. Just vibes.

@BrutaurusNervous: Why does HE look scared now??

@ThisIsLuxoria: This is how you assert dominance

---

Fiona leaned toward her drone, stunned.

"Chat… She's not even raising her weapon."

"She's just walking right into the Sovereign's face like it's a playground."

She hovered a bit lower to get a better view.

"I don't know what she's thinking..."

Fiona murmured.

"But if Brutaurus even twitches—"

Down below, Liora stopped five meters in front of Brutaurus.

The massive beast narrowed its eyes, nostrils flaring.

Liora smirked and spoke evenly.

"You're quite good."

She rolled her shoulders.

"But I want to see just how strong you really are."

Suddenly... liquid metal flowed from her back.

The silver mass expanded and shaped itself across her arms.

It transformed into a high-density rail bazooka that locked onto her shoulder.

The weapon lit up with silver-orange light.

Brutaurus took a step back.

Yes—the sovereign beast stepped back.

Fiona gasped.

"Wait—he moved?"

@HESTEPPED: THE BEAST MOVED BACK?!

@RAILBAZOOKA???: BRO WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS THAT

@WHOLEFUTURE: She pulled a missile launcher out of her spine

@NOFEARONLYSMOKE: That's not a tamer. That's an anti-tank unit

@BRUTAURUSCONFUSED: The Sovereign is literally rethinking life rn

@LioraLockAndLoad: THIS IS THE LUXORIA WAY

@WeaponQueen: Flame-user? More like mech soldier

---

Brutaurus let out a low growl, confused and angry.

It stomped once, cracking the ground beneath the water.

Liora didn't blink.

The weapon glowed brighter as energy lines locked onto the beast.

"Just warning you."

"This shot won't be fatal. But it'll hurt."

And then—she fired.

A beam of compressed kinetic plasma shot out.

It was faster than sound, slamming straight into Brutaurus's chest.

The Hydrocage trembled.

Columns of vapor exploded around the ring.

Brutaurus let out a roar of pure rage.

He staggered back, hooves sliding.

Its entire upper body was smoking from the blast zone.

It looked shocked. Enraged.

@SHESHOOTSHESCORE: LIORA JUST BLASTED A SOVEREIGN BACK

@SHEHURTHIM: Look at that recoil—that was real

@RAILGUNIMPACT: That shook the entire battlefield

@HEMADNOW: Oh he angry angry

@FlameAndFury: And she said that wasn't fatal??

---

Fiona's voice cracked into the mic.

"Okay! Okay! We are way past regular taming!"

She laughed nervously.

"Chat—she just shot Brutaurus with a back-mounted rail bazooka."

"And told him it was a warning."

She looked down at the battlefield, eyes wide.

"We're not just streaming beasts anymore."

"We're streaming warfare."

Brutaurus slammed its fists into the ground, letting out a furious roar.

And Liora?

She was already charging the next round.
