Corrack came to the village. This time he had to be stealthier as the villagers knew who he was. He told the 5 soldiers with him to go to the house nearest to the entrance so he could make a quick departure. The soldiers did so, they surrounded the house and stayed within the shadows of the night. Trying to not let the moon light give away their pressence. Corrack stood watch and looked out for patrols walking around. His assault gun was always ready and any sign of hostile life he would kill. A low growl made him turn around. There stood the victim of his malicious attacks, Spider. He was without his pants yet he still looked fearsome. The 3 tentacals on his face vibrated with his snarling.
Spider: "What did i tell yer. I said i wunt hunt yer down if yer let the girl go"
Corrack: "And this is it,is it? This is were you tear me limb from limb? Tell me Spider...what possess you to do good? What makes you think these simple village people actually like you and are not just using you as a watch dog...come on, enlighten me"
Corrack took a step forward as he said this. He could see the surprise in Spiders eyes as he did. Spider expected alot of things from this creature but to approach him he did not. Spider tensed and growled again.
Spider: "I dont care whether or not these folk like me. They are good people and Yer want to corrupt them. Yer want to hurt them horribly!"
Corrack nodded in agreement and took aim with his gun. The laser sight switched on he aimed it for Spiders head.
Corrack: "True-True. I really hate it when people get my motives correct...i always have to kill them. Oh well...nobody's loss"
As he took aim he prepared to pull the trigger, but something stopped him. A sharp pain at the base of the back of his neck. He gasped and then snarled. A arrow from a tribes man had been shot at him. The tribes man stood there and prepared to fire another but Spider wanted him. Spider lunged and grabbed hold of Corrack's right arm and snapped it, he then flung him to the floor and picked up a rock. He held it high and brought it down on Corracks legs. Shattering them. Corrack screamed. He raised his left hand and stealy knives shot from the back of his hand (Like Wolverine in X-Men) he threw his arm forward and pierced Spiders chest. The snarl of the beast made Corrack pull the blades out and attempt to strike again. But Spider grabbed hold of his hand before he could connect with his skin and shattered the blades with the rock in his other hand. Corrack was vulnerable and disabled. He lie there...panting. He looked around to see if any of his infantry were around. He saw the group of 5 he had sent. They were disapearing into the forest. Complete with a family. In the darkness he saw Cyrus. Stood there watching, not doing nothing. He hurried the family of 3 along beating them with the back of his Magnum and watched as Corrack got mauled. Spider broke his rib cage and shattered his pelvis before leaving him and getting up off him. His weight had been the main thing to make Corrack vulnerable, sitting on Corrack he had been able to beat him with ease. As Spider got off him he saw Corrack raise a hand to the forest he was staring at. He tried to speak but blood spurted from his mouth and he slowly passed out.
Spider: "Take him to ther forest and leave him for the Paramites"
He spoke to the Tribes man softly and then turned back towards the forest. It was the same forest as last time. He knew Cyrus and the others were in that direction and he felt relieved they had not come to rescue him. Otherwise he may of been killed. Spider again applied stealth as he sneaked towards the forest. Quietly he climbed up a tree and jumped from branch to branch. Making sure they were strong enough at first. Finally he saw them. It looked like the whole group of soldiers were there. They were all stood up and alert. Their guns cocked and ready. The family of Mudokons were again near the cliffs edge. The family consisted of 1 female, 2 males. One being a child. Spider slowly crawled down the bark and analyzed the situation carefully. If he could get to Cyrus he could hold him hostage. They wouldn't try anything if they knew their leader was in danger...would they? Cyrus was near the Mudokon child and had his gloved left hand resting on his shoulder. Spider snarled and dropped down into the foilage. He slowly crawled through staying as low as he could. But that wasn't quiet enough. As one of the troops heard a branch snap and span around.
Soldier: "There it is!!"
The soldier shouted this at the top of his voice and aimed what looked to be a pistol at him. Spider growled and lunged forward. The soldier pulled the trigger and a wire shot out, piercing Spiders right shoulder.
"Ppphzzaap!"
The sound was like a electric fence. But the pain was far worse. Spider toppled over and fell. Lying there he looked up and saw the soldier smiling. The others closed in and fired there weapons. Soon Spider was unconcious.
Cyrus: "Good work men...now then...lets chain him up!"
:Morning:
Spider awoke in a different setting. There was no tree's. He could only see a couple on the horizon. The family of Mudokons were on the floor, cuts and bruises covered the father. To the right and into the distance Spider could see a Scrab herd. They were moving around the plains in their usual manner.
He tried to move. Jingling of Chains made him realise he was trapped and tied. The chains were tied down to small staples in the dirty, dried ground. The wrapped his arms up in a cross formation and went around the back of his neck and around his torso. He struggled some more to try and break free but realised he could not.
Cyrus: "I wouldn't do that if i were you. You may draw the Scrabs over here...and none of us want that do we?!"
Cyrus smiled proudly and crouched in front of him.
Cyrus: "You see...todat is a great day. Because today your going to see the death of a family that you caused. Your going to see them suffer one by one"
Cyrus pulled out his gun and hit Spiders face with the butt of it. Spider growled and stared up at him.
Spider: "I'd watch out what yer do ter them. Any scent of blood that drifts over to them and wer all doomed!"
Cyrus smiled and stood back up.
Cyrus: "Thats the plan"
He walked over to the adult male and dragged him up roughly. The other soldiers sat and watched. Some stood near Spider and guared him, guns pointed at his head. Cyrus picked up the father and took him further away from the group and closer to the Scrab herd. He was still along way from them but he didn't want to get too close. Just incase.
Cyrus: "Hey...wake the other two up"
Cyrus pointed at one of the troops sat down. The soldier walked over to the child and woman and abruptly shook them awake. The child was still weary and disorientated. While the mother was awake straight away. She looked at Cyrus and screamed. Her scream was loud and full of fear and she started to stand up but got fiercly kicked back down by the soldier who woke her. Cyrus put the gun to the Mudokons head and laughed. The Mudokon was injured and could barely stand let alone fight.
"BOOM!"
The bullet went through the Mudokons head and spattered the brains everywhere. Chunks of black gunk littered the brown dirt. The body collapsed onto the ground, its right leg twitching.
Spider: "Nooooo, yer gonna pay fer this Cyrus. I am gonna tear yer limb from limb"
Cyrus: "Now-Now...lets not decide how i am going to die until i have finished. Bring the female up"
The child was sobbing in the mothers arms and the mother was clutching her child for dear life. The soldier pulled the child away and flung him across the ground. Then approached the mother and picked her up and dragged her towards Cyrus. She was screaming "Muderer" and how she would avenge her husbands death, but Cyrus was vaguely phased by this and just hit her and beat her til she lay on the ground near her dead husband. Cyrus smiled and put his foot on her neck. He turned to Spider and winked at him.
Cyrus: "Shall i make her go unconcious first Spider...or shall i make her suffer?"
Spider snarled his words and tried to struggle free. He saw the child weeping on the floor and wanted to help him. Hold him tight and protect him. But couldn't. He turned back to Cyrus.
Spider: "If yer gonna kill his parents at least spare the child. Dont kill im, please!"
Spider pleaded but Cyrus took no notice and killed the mother with one shot to the head. He purred and turned his attention to the child. The Scrabs in the distance could smell the scent of blood and were forever drawing closer to the group. But Cyrus did not care. He bent down and grabbed the childs leg and dragged him to the bloody corpses and flung him into the blood. The child screamed with fright and tried to get away but Cyrus put his boot on the childs back and pushed him deeper into the blood. He turned to Spider.
Cyrus: "This is were it gets interesting"
He smirked these words and took his foot off the child. Moving away from the child he stood in line of sight of the Scrabs and waved his arms in the air. Attracting their attention. The Scrab herd picked up pace and began to run and spread out in their usual hunting fashion.
Cyrus: "Come...lets get out of here. They are closing in quicker than i had anticipated!"
Cyrus ran by the child who was now standing up and knocked him down. The other troopers had already set off and now Spider couldn't see any of them. He could only hear snapping of branches...which meant there must of been a forest a couple of metres behind him. This motivated him to try and break free. He had to get the child and climb into one of the tree's. Cyrus approached him and pulled out his gun.
Cyrus: "Here...let me give you a hand"
He aimed the gun at one of the chains and pulled the trigger. The chain snapped and fell away. This didn't loosen the grip alot. But if he kept jigging about he may manage to slide out to freedom. As he kept jiggling he watched the Scrab herd close in...they were screeching and snapping at each other. Each one trying to get ahead of the rest. The Mudokon child stood up for the second time and saw the Scrabs closing in. His scream sounded more like a small childs than a boys. Spider broke one arm free and tried to get the other one free but failed.
Spider: "Quick kid. Come 'ere and 'elp me out!"
The child turned to Spider and then turned back around to the Scrabs. He made a mad dash towards Spider but got struck down by a Scrab that had come from the side. Spider saw Scrabs use the pincer trap many times. They split up into 3 groups. One going to the left, another to the right and then another driving down the middle. Eventually they surround their prey and strike. Spider was determined not to let this happen, but realised it was too late when he saw the other pack join and surround the child. There jaws snapped at the childs legs so he collapsed. The screeches were deafening and made Spider wish he was deaf himself. The child screamed as one by one they edged closer.
Child: "HELP ME...PLEASE...SPIDER...MOMMY, DADDY!"
The parents lie in the pool of black blood. Having 7 Scrabs surround them and devour the corpses. The child on the other hand crawled away from the ever nearing Scrabs. Covered in his parents blood the child was a very appetising meal for the Scrabs. And as one lunged forward so did the others. The first was grabbed hold of his ankle and dragged him closer with a vicious pull. He slid across the rough ground and screamed. The other creatures snapped at him and pulled tiny amounts of flesh of his skin. The dominant male then lunged forward and grabbed the child by the waist, rasing the screaming victim high in the air it shook it and tore the body in two. The innards of the child flung everywhere landing on the ground and some landing on actual Scrabs. The two halves dropped down on either side of the Scrab and the feast began. The snarling and guzzling of flesh made Spider feel sick. He pulled himself out of the chains and looked behind him. A tall tree was appealing to him and he lumbered towards it. The pains from the phasers that were shot at him the night before had eased down, but was still twinging a little bit. He pulled himself up in the tree, hearing the little childs screams echoe in his head. He turned back around and saw the Scrabs finishing the last of the corpses off before turning around and heading off. All chittering as if saying what a good meal it was. This was when Spider could feel the darkness inside him rising. Revenge showed its nasty head. And the killer instinct inside him surfaced. He had killed 2 of these creatures with ease. This time he will make it all of them....
