Prolouge
The hunter began pouring on more speed, trying to get away from whatever the hell this monstrosity was as fast as possible. He wheeled left, cut right and turned another corner again before suddenly tripping over something.
Groaning before looking back at what had tripped him up he suddenly recoiled in horror. A dead yautja was on the ground; he back pedaled quickly before locking his burner on it and vaporizing the corpse before getting to his feet and started sprinting again.
Looking over his shoulder the young male never saw the staircase. He fell ungraciously tumbling head over heels for a good 20 feet till he came to a role at the base of the pyramid. The cold snow helped soothe the new set of aches he had gained from his fall. His masks HUD dimmed and buzzed, static coming in-between bouts of blurred images.
He stood wearily and almost jumped when he saw Roka'thwei in front of him.
"They're all dead brother, that…thing, got them, changed them, I barely made it out" he gasped
Roka'thwei didn't respond but simply cocked his head.
"Didn't you hear me?" Bala'thwei asked "We need to get out of here, we need to…" he stopped suddenly as his scanners finally came back online and buzzed in alarm. Roka'thwei was lit up all over, his entire body showing signs of unnatural cellular activity.
Bala quickly tried to fire his burner but a single bolt was all that made it before his shoulder cannon sparked in protest before dying, damaged from his fall.
Roka'thwei's midsection now had a small melon sized hole bored through it though he stood as if unaffected, at least for a moment. Suddenly without warning his spine bent backwards at an impossible angle before his chest began to split upwards severing where his head joined his right shoulder.
Large slimy tentacles burst from him as well as new limbs studded with horrific spines and teeth.
The last thing Bala heard before his life was ended by the abomination was the high pitched keening of his own shrieks.
((this is a teaser of a horror story I planned involving a crossover of preds and John Carpenters 1982 version of The Thing , state in your reviews whether you'd like me to continue it or not))
