And as in uffish thought he stood,

The Tentaspy, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the sewage pipe,

And burbled as it came!

The Sniper was deep in thought when the Tentaspy popped its head out of the water. "Boo!" he said, causing the Sniper to jump.

"Awww, that's no way to greet your friend." He said, apparently having his feelings hurt by the Sniper's reaction toward him.

"I never said we were friends." The Sniper retorted.

"It doesn't matter now. Are you ready?" the Tentaspy asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be." The Sniper said, placing his hand on the kukri's hilt. The Tentaspy noticed the Australian's knife and beamed.

"Good choice! All the others before you had such useless weapons. No class at all!"

"Just shut up and fight me!" the Sniper snapped at the creature.

"That's the spirit!" he shouted with glee. Then the Tentaspy's mood shifted and it became violent.

He leaped out of the water and landed on the walkway. The Sniper jumped out of the way, unsheathing his kukri. The Tentaspy, now on its tentacles, extended his claws and bared his razor sharp teeth at the Aussie. His eyes widened, the creature let out a fierce growl and lunged forward.

One, two!

One, two! and through and through

The vorpal kukri went snicker-snack!

The Sniper raised his weapon and slashed out at the Tentaspy. He managed to cut into the creature's tentacles, leaving deep gashes. The Tentaspy winced, but chuckled maliciously as he collected himself.

"You're good." He purred and grabbed the Australian's leg. He dragged him a little before picking him up and slamming the tall, lanky man down onto the ground. The Sniper let out a grunt in pain and rolled on his side.

"Shit…" he muttered, clutching his stomach.

"This is too easy!" the Tentaspy cried with delight. "I'm kinda disappointed in you, Sniper."

The Sniper didn't bother to respond. He noticed that his kukri had been flung across the room. Quickly devising a plan, he slowly lifted himself up, ready to battle the Tentaspy once more.

"You want more?! OK then." The Tentaspy said and ejected himself toward the man.

The Sniper ducked and rolled toward his kukri, quickly grasping it. The Tentaspy shipped itself around and sprung forward toward the Sniper once more. With a brutal scream, the Sniper raised his weapon and stuck the blade into the Tentaspy's neck. He hit the jugular vein, causing it to open and blood rushed out in a thick stream. The Tentaspy choked on its own blood and collapsed to the ground. The Sniper slipped out of the way before he was to be crushed by the beast.

He left it dead, and with it's head

He went galumphing back.

The Sniper eyed the Tentaspy. Its body twitched for a bit and then stopped moving. A stream of blood had started to form and drip into the sewage water. The Sniper leaned against the wall, exhausted and in pain. He either bruised or broke several of his ribs since his right side was killing him. He huffed and puffed, still eyeing the creature. It might still be alive. Slowly, he made his way toward the body. He nudged the Tentaspy with his kukri. The body didn't move, letting the Sniper know that the beast was good and dead. He pulled back the Tentaspy's collar, exposing his neck. With several good chops, he managed to sever the head off the body. With the Tentaspy's head as proof of his kill, the Sniper started back to his base, all while having a heavy and clumsy tread due to his injuries.
