When Lt Col. Longshot heard the screams, he saw Emile and Michael running towards him, from behind the debris, sprang out a hideous creature. The skin on its arms were ripped till flesh was seen, its teeth similar to sabre tooth tigers, and a tail with a blade looking figure at the end.

"What in the world is that?" shouted Emile as he ran behind Longshot.

Longshot didn't say a thing as the creature was crawling towards them with incredible speed.

"Damn it's fast.." thought Longshot.

Longshot then began to open fire, the creature flinched, but then started jumping around, and then, got out of Longshots sight. He then looked around, still no visual of the creature, but he could hear movement from all around.

"Hmmm... he's playing with us..." he thought to himself.

After a while, Longshot didn't hear anymore movement, it was all quiet. He slowly backed up to the HQ door, and said,

"Michael, watch my back, I'll get the door..."

"What the? Wait a minute... how..." complained Michael.

Just before he finished speaking, the creature jumped out of nowhere towards him. Longshot then quickly pushed Michael out of the way, and the creature landed on him, Longshot dropped his rifle, and the creature was attempting to bite his head.

"Hey! What's the big deal?" said Michael as he turned around.

"Get the hell off me!" shouted Longshot.

The creature kept trying to bite Longshots head, but with his hands on its neck, it wasn't able to do so, at least not yet. The creature growled and growled while Longshot tried to shake it off, Michael then took out his pistol and pointed it at the creature.

"DON'T SHOOT!" shouted Emile.

"What? WHY?" said Michael.

"You might hit the Lt. Col!"

"Damn... What do I do?"

"Kick it off or smash it with something damn it!" shouted Longshot.

Michael panicked and looked around for something he could use, but all he could see was debris and things that he cannot lift. Longshot still struggling with the creature, looked around and saw his rifle, it wasn't very far, he pushed one of his hands to the creature's neck and tried to reach for his rifle with his other. Emile was just kneeling on the ground praying, while Michael was still panicking, slowly trying to reach for the rifle, the creature got tougher to shake off. Longshot tried to punched the creature, but it only made it more angry and got even harder to shake off.

"Give me a hand already damn it!" he shouted.

Longshot was getting furious that Michael and Emile were of no help in getting rid of the creature. But after a while, the creature slammed both of his hands to the grounds, immobilizing him, and then raises its head, preparing to bite Longshot.

"Shit shit shit!" he struggled.

The creature then lunged its head at Longshot, but just before it managed to bite him, its head popped, and then suddenly its arm cut off, it was dead. Longshot then kicked the dead body away from him, rolled, grabbed his rifle and pointed it at the creature's corpse. Then he wondered what happened which he was grappled.

"Getting yourself into trouble again?" said a male voice from a dark alley.

"Who are you?" said Longshot.

"We have not yet met, but I've heard a lot about you..." the person said as he showed himself in a lighted area.

Longshot saw the man, he is armed with a contact beam and is wearing the same gear as he was, but his armor was grey in color instead of white and black. On his right shoulder was the military symbol of a 2 star general.

"Who are you?" asked Longshot.

"My name is Virgil Grey, General Grey actually..." said Virgil.

"General? What're you doing here? I thought this place was abandoned..."

"Yes, well, I was supposed to take team to demolish this place.."

"What for?"

"Government's orders, reason was classified...""

From a distance, they could hear roars and screams of people and monsters.

"I think we should save this discussion for another time yes?" said Emile.

"What the hell? And I thought you were still praying... Gah! Never mind! We have to get to the Eastern station..."

"Ah yes, let me plant a charge first..."

"Well you'd better do it quick sir, because I don't think we'll be alone anytime soon."

"T-t-there's more of them?" panicked Michael.

"Well you don't expect one creature we just killed to have done all this do you?" said Virgil as he set up a charge.

"Wait sir, I thought you said you took a team here, where are they?" asked Longshot.

"They're dead... All of them, poor bastards didn't stand a chance..."

"How'd you escape General?" asked Emile.

Before General Virgil could answer, they heard the roars again, and it seemed like whatever that's out there, is pretty close.

"Yeah no offense to you General but... COULD YOU HURRY THE HELL UP!" shouted Michael.

"I'm just about done! And... There! Charge set! Time to go!"

The four men ran as quickly as they could, and the charge set was about to ignite.

"3...2...1..."

There was a huge explosion of plasma and before they knew it, the whole HQ was ashes.

"We'd better hurry, the station isn't that far now..." said Virgil.

As they were running, Longshot asked,

"So what were those things anyway? It looked somewhat human!"

"Let us save that for later.." said Virgil as he stopped running.

"Why'd you stop? We have to go!" shouted Michael.

Virgil then pointed ahead of them, there were several weird looking creatures, this time standing up tall. With blades coming out of their arms, limbs from their abdomens, and half jawed faces.

"What the hell?" said Longshot to himself.

"Why not just shoot them all?" said Emile.

"It's futile, they're able to withstand ammunition.. they're... what the hell?..." said Virgil as he got a better visual at one of them.

"What's wrong?" said Longshot.

"That one, he was killed a while ago! What the hell?"

"What? Killed a while ago?" shouted Michael.

"Keep your voice down!" said Longshot as he shoved his hand over Michael's mouth.

But it was too late, those creatures heard Michael, and looked towards them.

"We've been spotted!" said Longshot as he pointed his rifle at them.

"Fall back!" said Virgil as he turned around.

But when the General turned around, there were more of those creatures, they were surrounded.

"Aw shit! What now General? There's nowhere to run." Said Longshot.

Emile then once again got on his knees and started praying, the creatures were getting closer. Longshot then started firing pulse rounds at their heads, it tore off their heads, but they still kept on walking.

"What the? He has no head! How could he still be moving?" he said as he fired more rounds on their bodies.

"Shoot their limbs! That's the only way to stop them!" said Virgil.

Longshot fired at their legs, but they were still alive and started crawling.

"No way! How could something stand that much firepower?" thought Longshot.

The General managed to dismember some of them but there were still many of them, soon after, both of them were out of ammunition.

"Damn it! I'm dry!" shouted Longshot.

"So am I..." said Virgil.

Longshot then pulled out his dual divet pistols and threw one to Virgil.

"Sir!" he shouted.

Virgil caught it and started firing at the remaining creatures, but it didn't have enough firepower and ammunition to dismember all of them.

"We're not going to last like this... damn it..." thought Longshot. "What the hell is on around here?... The hell are these ...things?..."
