Chapter 4

What the Hell is That?

Renji sighed, as he used a pick to clean under the horseshoe of the horse they had passed to him. It was a grey speckled beauty, it was already packed down with all the gear that he and Grimmjaw would need. Grimmjaw's horse stood off to the side, already packed with gear, it was a paint. It's brown splotches stood out on its white fur. "Better be fast, we don't want to be stuck on a couple of canters!" Renji called to Tosen.

"Those snake things couldn't travel that fast!" Grimmjaw murmured as he walked past Renji, who glared at him.

Tosen put food in the packs.

"For all you know, they could fly!" Renji called back to him.

"What'd you want, the Colt, or Aaroniero's old rifle?" Grimmjaw asked holding them up.

"Rifle," Renji smiled, starting another rock paper scissors game that he won rock over scissors.

"Hey Grimm! Here's some Swiss cheese and some bullets!" Tosen called, passing them to him.

"Oh, thanks," Grimmjaw took them gratefully.

Kenpachi and Soi Fon pulled up in their truck, "You guy's all set?" Kenpachi asked hopping out of the truck.

"Bout as ready as we'll ever be." Grimmjaw nodded.

"Soi Fon and I are gonna drive around a little, see if we can't find them college boys. Tell them to get their asses back to town."

"Good idea, we'll swing by Szayel's place, see if they went into Bixby or not," Renji nodded.

"Wait a second guys," Soi Fon shot out, "Ya'll gonna need to take something that packs more of a punch than that thirty-thirty! Why don't you take one of our Browning Auto's? Better than that, why don't you just take my model Seventy," She grinned, passing Grimmjaw her gun, "It's three-seventy-five H&H Mag."

Grimmjaw took the gun, smirking at Renji, "Well, thanks Soi Fon. Well, I hope I don't need to use it."

There was a sudden scream coming from Tosen's store, Aizen was the only person missing. Kenpachi pulled his gun out, pointing it towards the store. "GAAAAAA! IT'S GOT ME! IT'S GOT ME!" Aizen yelled, running out with the dead snake-thing around his neck.

Nel screamed, Renji stared at him in surprise, and then he started laughing.

"AIZEN!" Tosen yelled.

"Dammit Aizen," Kenpachi yelled running over to him, pointing a finger at him, "You came that close. Too close. No more games." Kenpachi ended in a calm voice that scared Aizen more than when he had been yelled at. He walked off back to his truck.

"Aizen, one of these days some one's gonna kick your ass," Grimmjaw growled at him as Renji and him rode off.

Everybody watched them leave, Nel waved, as they rode off in the morning air.

They rode hard to Szayel's place, the tarp was waving in the wind. The car was missing, it seemed as if nobody was home. However, you could head muffled music from somewhere…Renji walked up to the mobile home that had been Szayel and Yylfordt's temporary home, "Szayel?" He looked inside, not finding anyone. He walked over to Grimmjaw, who had been examining the partially built house. "Man, I hate this shit."

"Wait a minute, the car is gone," Grimmjaw pointed out, "We just missed them, that's all."

"Where the hell's the god damn Golden Oldie coming from?" Renji asked, wandering over to where the music was playing. His foot bumped into something metal in the ground, he knelt down near it and the music was louder there.

"What the hell is this?" Grimmjaw asked digging at the thing in the ground.

"Ya' got me." Renji sighed, digging next to him. After a few seconds they uncovered a small round symbol, that was blue with silver letters that read 'FORD'. It was attached to the grill of the car, that Renji had tripped on. The headlights were still on.

As they were riding away, "Ok, here's the plan. We don't even stop, we ride like hell!" Grimmjaw called to Renji, "At night, we keep on going! We walk the horses!"

"That there's the plan!" Renji called back, "I mean god damn, what the hell are those things! How could they bury a whole station wagon?"

"No! Why would they do it?" Grimmjaw called back the better question. When suddenly the horses stopped running, rearing back.

"Come on! Git! Git!" Renji called to his horse, "Tosen wouldn't know a decent horse if it bit him in the ass!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, they got wind of something they don't like," Grimmjaw called pulling out a gun.

"Git!" Renji called to the horse, pulling out the rifle.

"Hold on here," Grimmjaw called looking around for the snake-like creatures.

"I don't see anything!" Renji yelled, "Anywhere!"

Suddenly Grimmjaw's horse was down, whining in pain, which scared the other into rearing up and dropping Renji so it could escape. The horse was making strange noises.

"You ok?" Renji aske Grimmjaw, crawling towards him.

"Yeah I am, what about-?" Grimmjaw started, but as the dust cleared the horse could be seen with three of the snakes around its middle holding it down. "God damn!" Grimmjaw growled.

"That's how they get you…" Renji breathed, "They're under the god damn ground."

"What the hell are they?" Grimmjaw yelled, watching helplessly as the horse struggled.

"Sons of bitches!" Renji growled, shooting one of the snakes off the horse. The ground they were standing on moved, "Must be a million of them!"

Suddenly, a loud growl filled the air, as the large worm-like creature surfaced. It had four beak-like structures, the snake-like creatures were just its tongue! It had a bunch of spikes poking out of its sides, and was a brown color.

"Nope, just one!" Grimmjaw yelled.

It turned toward the two men and let out an irritated scream, the snake-like tongues slid in the dirt.

Renji tried shooting it and walking backwards, but gave up shortly after Grimmjaw started running.

The creature dove back under the ground, moving quickly to catch up to them. As they ran, Grimmjaw's hat flew off, he watched it for a second then went back to watching where he was going. They came to a barbed wire fence, the same one they had put up days before, and ran next to it. The creature went directly under the fence, the posts bending back as it passed.

"Look!" Grimmjaw pointed, a cement ditch now blocked their escape. "We can make it! We can make it!" Grimmjaw called.

Both fell short, they had managed to grab the other side, but they both slipped, and slid down into the ditch. They tried to jump out. Suddenly there was a large bang from the other side of the ditch, a broken section appearing in the concrete wall of the ditch, followed by another pained scream. The guys looked at each other for a second then the wall that had started opening up.

"Stupid son-a-bitch, knocked itself cold…" Grimmjaw said with a smirk, as a snake-like tongue fell through the crack.

"Cold my ass, he's dead." Renji observed, "We killed him…We killed it! Fuck you!" Renji laughed, Grimmjaw relaxing behind him, when rocks fell from the wall above them.

"Hey guys! What's going on?" Ichigo asked, standing next to the fence on the other side of the ditch from the creature. "Did you notice anything weird a minute ago? I mean it just hap-"

Both men relaxed, understanding that they were in no danger.

"What's that?" Hichigo asked, pointing to the snake-like tongue.

A couple minutes later, "Alright, one two three!" Grimmjaw growled, using a stick as leverage to remove the cement blocking the creature. Its head shot out of the wall, making Ichigo gasp in shock from his place behind Grimmjaw. "Jesus Christ! Does it smell like that cause it's dead?" Grimmjaw yelled, wrinkling his nose.

"I don't see any eyes, must be totally subterranean." Ichigo guessed, looking at Grimmjaw. The creature was leaking pumpkin colored blood, and drool. "And those tentacles…"

"Yeah, ya' know I think they shoot right out its mouth." Grimmjaw nodded, "Ant they hook ya', and they pull ya' right in. And we stopped it before it killed anybody else."

"Look, this is important you know." Ichigo sighed, pacing a little, "This is like…Well let's just say it, this is probably the biggest zoological discovery of the century."

"Hey! Hey check this out, I found the ass-end!" Renji yelled, using both hands to lift it up. Hichigo let out a soft snicker at his wording. "Jesus, we really caught something here!"

Grimmjaw and Ichigo crawled up the ditch, with a little help from Hichigo.

"Wow…" Ichigo stared.

"Man." Grimmjaw sighed out in slight shock, "That's one big mother…"

"This must be the old boy that had your siesmo's working overtime." Renji guessed.

"Yeah," Hichigo agreed, touching one of the spikes on its body, moving it back and forth. "It must push itself along with these…All of them pushing at once that's why it moved so fast…I mean this thing had sensors tripping all over the place, no-!" Hichigo and Ichigo looked at each other for a second, then went to check something in their pack.

"Hey Ichigo, you ever heard of anything like this before?" Grimmjaw asked.

"Sure Grimm, everybody knows about 'em , we just didn't tell you." Renji shot out sarcastically, "Aw hell man, nobody ever saw nothing like this! We're really on to something here!"

"Well I tell you one thing, Old Tosen won't get his slick mitts on this for no measly fifteen bucks." Grimmjaw smirked.

"You got that right." Renji smirked back.

"Alright here's the plan, we need a flatbed."

"With a winch…"

"Yeah, five ton, maybe even…"

"No no, we don't want to winch it, don't want to winch it, it'll tear it all up…" Renji shook his head.

"A crane." Grimmjaw thought aloud.

"Yeah a crane with a liftin' straps!" Renji nodded.

"Hey, shut up!" Ichigo ran to the two, with some papers in his hand, Hichigo on his heels, "The way I figure it there are three more of these things."

"What?" Renji asked stupidly.

"Three more?" Grimmjaw asked nervously.

"I've got seismographs all over this valley." Ichigo started.

"If you compare the readings, here's one at three o'clock yesterday," Hichigo pointed as he explained, "And here's one three miles away at the exact same time, and that's two, and here-"

"Yeah yeah, we'll take your word for it," Renji shot out.

"Where's your truck?" Grimmjaw asked slightly worried.

"Just beyond that hill," Ichigo pointed, leading the way. As they reached the area where the two had been studying the seismograph, the pin started moving. Grimmjaw fell and yelled in surprise "What?" Ichigo asked in shock.

"Damn prairie dog burrow!"

"Little sons of bitches," Renji growled.

Hichigo stared at the moving pin on the seismograph, "Psst psst!"

"This way!" Grimmjaw growled, leading them all in the same direction.

"Up on that rock!" Renji yelled. All three got onto the rock, Ichigo, Hichigo, and Grimmjaw on the spot highest they could get, Renji stood in surprise, staring at the ground to spot the creature. Seconds later, a soft roar sounded near Renji, two snake-like tongues and one with a stump instead of the snake head shot out of the ground. Renji jumped up next to everyone else on the high part of the rock, holding the shovel he had used to unearth the last creature.

"Looks like the one that grabbed our truck!" Grimmjaw called.

"Where the hell's your truck?" Renji asked Ichigo.

"Right over there!" Ichigo pointed off towards a boulder, with a red truck next to it, about a football field away…maybe a little farther…

"Oh man, I don't think we can make that!" Renji groaned.

"At least he can't climb." Grimmjaw sighed.

"Oh man, the live one's smell worse that the dead ones!" Renji whined.

You could see it circle the boulder, small dust trails gave it away. They all sat on the boulder for a few hours, Renji staring off in the distance to try and figure out if it was gone.

"I got it, I got it, their mutation's caused by radiation…Or, no no no, the government built 'em. Big surprise for the Russians!" Renji guessed.

"There's nothing like them in the fossil record I'm sure…" Ichigo sighed.

"Ok, so they predate the fossil record…That would make them a couple billion years old…And we've just never seen one till now. Right." Hichigo giggled.

" I vote for outer space, no way are these local boys." Grimmjaw smirked.

Hichigo and Ichigo laughed at that.

"Well, haven't seen a sign for hours…Must be long gone." Grimmjaw sighed.

"Yeah must be," Renji agreed, "Hey, why don't you take a little stroll and find out?"

Grimmjaw laughed, Ichigo sighed, "Well we gotta do something."

Grimmjaw stared at Renji, and smirked, as if asking him if he wanted another round of their favorite game. Renji rolled his eyes, making his way to the edge of the boulder, towards the side with a bunch of two-by-fours. "Well, gotta do something, I don't know why we always has to be me every time!" He mumbled softly to himself for a moment, using his foot to grab one of the two-by-fours.

"Watch it Renji, he's got a good six foot reach!" Grimmjaw warned.

"Thank you Grimm," Renji growled in irritation, tapping the stick on the ground.
