werzbasky walked backwards, slowly, the things forehead spilt open, and a strong think appendige shot out, knocking werzbasky of the edge. He hit the ground with a thud, but the thing ignored him, more tenticles came from its back, and slashed at me and Gunner, we both fired, the bullets slicing the tenticles to shredds, but more and more of them came, a big tenticle lifted Gunner up. "Let go of her you ****ing asswipe!" i shouted, i fired at the tenticle, but it just made the creature even more angry. A huge arm banged the balcony, sending me to the ground, werzbasky had recovered, and was firing his double UMP's at oncoming scuttlers. I shot at the base of the thing, then i noticed some oil canisters to the left of the beast. But first i looked up, just to see it throw gunner at a wall, she fell, and hit the ground, hard.
She coughed up blood. Werzbasky ran over to her and protectced her from the incoming scuttlers. I circled the beast, firing at the base, but i was mearly wasting ammo, at least it hurt it. A tenticle picked up werzbasky, scuttlers swarmed over Gunner, i ran to her, and shot up all the scuttlers. Werzbasky has lifted high up into the air. He was screaming in pain, the beast mimiced his scream, and then cut him in half, just below the abdomen. he screamed and was thrown at the wall, "its toying with us" i thought. "OVER HERE" I shouted it looked at me, and tryed to grab me, but i dodged, and shot the tenticles to pieces. "were all going to die now" i said.
with 3 tenticles it lifted us all up, all hope was lost. Then the wall blew up, and Bishop and 3 marines in pryo armour came in, the beast was started at its new visitors and dropped us. The pryos burned at the base of the thing, some medics ran in, and carried werzbasky and Gunner out., Bishop and me back out, and the pryos followed. explosions were heard from the boiler. "Stop!" i said to bishop. I threw a napalm grenade into the boiler, fire went every where, burning all the escaping scuttlers, and the beast. We went out side, and loaded werzbasky and Gunner into a chopper, the 3 pryos went in as well. Me and Bishop followed.
the boiler was blowing up, but the beast was still alive, 8 huge spider like legs grew from its back, its arms fell of, and were replaced by 2 huge sythes. It the ripped it self free from the fall, and knocked down the wall, the boiler went up, but it was now out side.
the roters started turning, i heard something horrible, i turned to see the beast, it had grown legs and had followed us! it was now also twice as big! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I shouted. I jumped out, grabbing the last of the grenades. I ran to it, but i slahsed me aside, and went the chopper. I fired at it, and it looked at me, and screamed. "AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" shouted werzbasky from the chopper. He was laying down, firing his double UMP's at the things head, the .45 bullets tore through it, but it still was coming. It shot out a tenticle, and picked werzbasky up, he was still shooting, he still fired untill his ammo went dry, then the thing opened up its mouth, and bit his head off.
"BASTARD!" i shouted, i fired at it more, it dropped werzbaskys body, and picked me up, i droped my weapon. It was over, the chopper was now nearly away, just hovering. Then i remembered the grenades. "EAT THIS!" i said, and stuffed 4 napalm grenades into its mouth, and pulled the pins, it dropped me and i ran. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP the grenades exploded, the napalm burning the beast, it screamed, and tryed to morph nito all the things it had killed, but it was still on fire. It burned and screamed and then hit the ground, dead.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES" Ishouted in joy, the chopper landed, and the marines helped me up and closed the door. Gunner had broken 3 ribs, but would be okay. "what do ay think?" i whispered to her "not bad..." she said back to me. "Bishop, how the hell did you survive?" i said "i got the hint that these things weakness was fire, and i was picked up by these marines, they were on there way to the base to finish it off, but as we speak now, the base is being firebombed to hell by 2 B-2 stealth bombers, nothin will survive" "good work Bishop" i replyed. I heard the bombs going off as we flew away into the night.
3 days after the bombing, it was quite. A small husky walked away from the reckage of the base, it turned to look behind it, but then went on, into the antartic, dripping blood behind it...
...something survived.
