"Damn, why do I keep pushing myself into these positions?" Flaxis muttered to himself as he hurtled through the Paramite caves. Flaxis was fast enough that he was catching up on Sal and the other sligs. The only weapon Flaxis had was his katana, since Sal had stolen it from him only minutes before.
He overtook one of the sligs, and, braking suddenly, did a reverse-tackle onto it and knock it down. Quickly, he slit its throat with the katana, and then took its gun. Not as good as mine Flaxis thought, but it'll have to do. H finally caught back up with the remaining group, and opened fire. Bullets streamed through the barrel, hitting 3 sligs and killing them. Other stray round sent some to the ground, crippled or injured. He shot them all to end there suffering before the paramites found them.
As Flaxis had just thought that, one of the survivors of the ambush squad was grabbed from a hole in the wall. Flaxis ran past the hole, the slig's screams as he was eatten alive in his ears. The same thing happened 2 other times, leaving one lone slig, who finally did the smart thing, and turned around and ran back. Flaxis found his body later outside the cave, killed with what looked like Vykker bone saws.
Flaxis finally reached the end, wondering where Sal was, when he saw Sal eagerly pulling and pushing away rocks from a cave in. From the other side was the sound of gunfire and yelling.
"Who's there!?" Flaxis yelled. Sal turned around, and motioned for him to join in.
"I'm playing a game against these other people! It's see who can get a hole in the rock first! I think I'm winning!" He said. Flaxis immediately thought of Darvek and Frex. He did the only thing he could. He grabbed his assualt rifle, and then joined in.
