It was a slow day in Tuefort an auto-ceasefire was called and the teams weren't called back into battle at all that day, So some of the other Blu Scout boys decided to have some fun telling stories about the "Monster in the blu sewers." "Some say that Red medic's grandfather tortured and experimented on one of Blues spy's back in the day, jus' ta figure out where our intelligence was. Turns out the shape shiftin' moron didnt know squat. Well later that night the spy started feeling stange while he sat in his cell from all those experiment things...so he called out for help an-" "Shut up Lucas...we've all heard that story. No point getting' all worked up for nuthin'." "Well princess James nice of you to finally join us." Lucas joked. "And yea' we have heard the stories but no one was ever allowed down there. Suspicions? Hmmm?... yes." Lucas smirked trying to prove his point making the other boys begin a conversation. "Well sure you can have your suspicions...i think the tunnel just runs right through red base aswell and they closed it off jus' so we wont have any night time attacks." James shrugged. "He has a point Lucas." One of the boys sitting next to him said. "Fine...Lets go down there tonight." Lucas said starting an uproar of conversations. "Fine." James said instantly, literally muting the boys from their conversations looking at him slightly shocked.
Later that night Lucas, James, and a few other boys out of shear curiosity, Snuck passed some of the other men in the base and slipped past the sewers barricade into its tunnels. It was dark, wet and murky. There was just about enough light to see about a foot in front of them. "Should've brought a fuckin' flashlight..." Lucas mumbled and echoed down the halls. Suddenly the boys started walking in knee-deep water and gradually went waist deep. "Awh man! I didnt want to get this wet guys im goin back." one of the boys said slightly angry with the situation and leaving. "Pussy" Lucas mumbled. The boys walked farther down the tunnel and came to an open clearing and a platform. "Well thats interesting." James said walking farther out tword the platform. As he stood up on the platform he noticed, a type of slimey goo on the platform. "What the..." He whispered touching it. "Let me see" Lucas said pushing past him slipping on it and falling back into the water. James laughed as Lucas pulled himself back up. "what the hell is that?" "I dont know maybe its like some type of algae. You know like in those ponds?" Lucas said poking it. "Algae is green you idiot. That looks almost blue." "Uuhh...guys..." One of the scouts chimed in a whisper. "What?" Lucas added aloud looking at the two other scouts, to whom, had a very scared expression on their faces. Suddenly Lucas and James were engulfed in a shadow from behind them. The two boys instantly started running back into the tunnel just booking it. "James..." "What.." "Please tell me for the love of god thats you behind me..." Lucas said with an open gaze at the platform floor. "Im right beside you idiot." The two boys paused and turned to see a very tall slim figure hovering over them with some type of tentacles. "A-AHHHHHH!" Lucas screamed bolting for the tunnel just escaping the things tentacles. James whipped around, digging his toes into the platform and pushing, forcing himself to slide on the goo and back into the water. He swam as fast as he could, but failed. A tentacle wrapped around his ankle and yanked him under the water and pulled him out infrount of the creature. James coughed up water and noticed he was upside-down infrount of the thing. "qui êtes-vous? Que voulez-vous?" "I-I'M SORRY I'LL LEAVE!" James said shaken up. The things shoulders un-tensed and his head tilted to read the "Blue" logo on the boys shirt. "You are from ...Mann-co B.L.U?" It said curiously. James stopped struggling for a moment, "Y-yes..." The figure shifted James and released him standing up straight. "I was from Blue as well...so you shouldnt be that bad to me..." James looked at the Figure curiously. Scars trailed its body, along with tentacles and scales trailing his torso. "Who are you?" James finally asked. "Please forgive me, My name is Rhain." He said with a bow. "s-so the story's are true?" "You look frightened." Rhain said with a laugh. "But...what they did to you..." "Its in the past now. I apologize if I frightened you or the other other young men." Rhain said slightly disappointed. "Boys is more like it." James said slightly angryly. "Sorry my name is James" He said sitting and rubbing his ankle. "Did I hurt you?" Rhain asked curiously, with his defensive mood completely over-run. "ah...a little. Ill be ok though." Rhain bent down looking at James' ankle noticing a slight bruising and red marks from his tentacles. Rhain slithered his tentacles around James' ankle massaging it gently. James blushed slightly. "Thanks." "Sorry for making you so stressed James." "Im not stressed." James lied. Tentacles slithered up James' wet back and started squeezing lightly. "Your muscles say different James" Instantly James' face went red-hot at the way Rhain whispered, or just nearly coo'd at him. "I-I... u-uh..." James said pulling away slightly. Rhain tilted his head and smiled warmly at the stuttering boy. "You what?" Rhain whispered moving very close to the young scouts face. A tentacle slithered up scouts leg and massaged his inner-theigh making him gasp slightly. "I-I should go...dont want the others thinking you ate me." "If you must Mon petite...I did enjoy your company...so lonely down here." Rhain said hesitantly with a smile. "I-I'll come back...promise." James said shifting up jumping in the water and running down the tunnel ways.
