Day 2: The Dam
For team 2, Lazarus was chosen to be both the medic and the leader. A veteran of the Third Mutagen War, Lazarus has seen a lot of blood shed. However, unlike most medics that would race to stop someone from bleeding to death; Lazarus would use his special device to bring them back to life. The team's main assault person was James Parnell. He was a soldier in the Sol Guard, and was a member of the "Rage Troopers." His main armaments were a double barrel shotgun, and a rocket launcher. The support member was an A.I. named Bucket. He ran Cabot's ship back when he was a Hub Marshall. When Cabot decided to head to Shear, Bucket downloaded himself into a repair drone chassis. He quickly modified his new body with a laser guided missile launcher, sentry turrets, a deployable UAV drone for a head, and a cloaking field. Lastly there was Maggie, a quiet woman who liked to keep to herself. The only person she seemed to enjoy talking to was Daisy, her 400lb pet Trapjaw. The drop doors opened and the four hunters (plus the trapjaw, Daisy) dropped down onto a metal grate on top of the Pike Dam.
"Bucket, remind me why we're here again," Lazarus said.
"Sensors have been detecting multiple electric anomalies in the surrounding area. I have analysed these anomalies, and I believe that they are coming from a stage-2 Kraken," the robot answered. The four hunters followed Daisy into the rocky jungle. They had traveled 200m when Daisy began to sniff the ground. "It's close," Maggie said. Maggie creeped forward another foot, but was thrown backwards by three bolts of lightning that struck the ground next to Daisy. "DAISY!" Maggie screamed as she raced toward her pet. Before she could get there a 30ft tall monster with multiple tentacles protruding from its back landed in front of her. "Based on the Kraken's size and strength, it has evolved to its third and final stage," Bucket said.
"Distract the monster. I'll get Daisy," Lazarus said as he activated his invisibility cloak. Lazarus snuck past the Kraken, and charged his special gauntlet. Daisy's vitals had flat lined, yet Lazarus wasn't deterred. Lazarus was unlike any other medic, because he had helped create a sereum that could do what no one else could. He pushed a button on the gauntlet, and one of eight vials that were filled with a blue liquid, drained into a syringe into Daisy's chest, and watched as life rrushed back into the hunter's body. "Come my new friend. We have a monster to kill," he said. Bucket stood behind a row of five droid turrets, shooting the creature with his arm mounted rocket launcher. The air became charged with static, and seemed to explode as the Kraken turned its focus on Lazarus. It created a sort of vortex, that it unleashed on the medic. The vortex slammed Lazarus into a boulder, before another three lightning bolts struck him. "No, Lazarus," Parnell exclaimed. The monster responded by firing another bolt of lightning. Parnell managed to dodge the bolt, but was unable to avoid the Kraken's tentacle as it wrapped around him. Parnell screamed when the tentacle began to electrocute him. A look of horror crossed Maggie's face, when the monster released Parnell's smoking body.
"You bastard! I' m going to make you pay," Maggie said, as she activated her jetpack and charged.
