They all stood still, in fear that the creature would strike at the slightest movement. They were also worried because they didn't know how to kill it. Jake whispered to the group in a shaky tone, "alright when I say, spread out and shoot. We have to kill this thing now."
"Why?" Fox whispered back.
"This thing…I've seen what I can do…it can do a lot of damage and…" just then the creature jumped at then. "Move!"
They all jumped out of the way, separating themselves from each other. The Stinger turned around and searched for the others. Eric crouch ran behind one of the support beams for the catwalks. He looked over at the creature and aimed his rifle at him and started shooting. The bullets hit it but it had little effect of it. It looked over at him and jumped at him. Eric saw as it jumped and headed for him, but then felt someone grab and pushed him out of the way. He just got a glimpse as the stinger struck the ground, which he was standing on. The strike was so strong it penetrated the floor. Eric saw that Ethan saved him. Both stood up as the Stinger turned his attention to them. It turned and whipped its tail at them, but both of them jumped back and fell to the ground avoiding it. Just then they heard more gunfire coming from Jake. The attention was then drawn to him. Jake stopped firing and started moving away from it, but the Stinger moved faster and caught up to him. It swung its sword-like limb at him but Jake jumped forward and rolled on his back. He aimed his gun and fired his grenade launcher at him. It exploded in its face and had a little effect by making it stumbled backwards. But other then that it barely hurt it. Everyone else saw this and was shocked. Fox shouted, "What does it take to kill this thing!"
Jake got back on his feet and started running away, "I don't know!"
The creature recovered and started to pursue Jake again. Just then Wolf and Fox fired their blasters at it, which got its attention. Both of then ran when they saw it coming towards them. They jumped out of the way when it swung its tail at them. Fox rolled behind the conveyer belt and got back up to catch his breath. He looked to the side and saw Greg next to him and he was holding a cylinder tube. "What's that?"
He spoke without looking, "a small bomb with enough kick to destroy that thing."
"Then why haven't you used it yet!"
"I've been studying it. Its skin is really thick and tough, lasers and bullets can barley penetrate. So the only way for it to work is if I can get it inside it."
"How are you going to do that?"
"…I just have to time it right."
Fox was about to say something when he heard someone cry out in pain. He look out and saw Wolf stumbling backwards against the wall holding his chest. He could see some blood seeping out. Fox could tell that the creature slashed him with his stinger or legs. He then rushed out over to his side. Once there he crouched in front of him, "Are you alright!"
Wolf looked up and his eyes widen, "look out!"
Fox turned and pulled Wolf out of the way in time as the stinger struck the wall. They both then started to run off but it was behind them. the Stinger then swung its tail but Fox grabbed Wolf and fell to the floor. When they looked up they saw it approaching them. but then a small grenade hit it, making it turn its attention. They looked over and saw it was Jake who fired it. It gave them enough time to get away from it. Wolf had trouble so Fox had to help him.
Jake saw as the two got away, he started to think on how to kill this thing but nothing came. He then thought of something and took out his knife. He kept firing at it and it started to rush to him. it was about to attack but Jake then slid underneath it and struck its belly with his knife. It seemed to have a serious effect because it screeched real loud. He pulled out and was about to strike again but the Stinger moved and struck him with his tail. Jake flew until he hit the catwalk support beam. It started walking towards him, but he had trouble trying to get up and move.
Just then they all heard footsteps coming from the catwalks they looked up and saw a small group, then they heard them fire their weapons at the Stinger. Fox looked closer and recognized one of them, "Alex!"
Alex stopped firing and looked over to the source of the voice, "Fox! You alright!"
"Yes! Just keep that thing distracted!"
They kept firing at it but it barely hurt it. Fox looked over at Jake and saw him run and slide underneath it and struck it harder. Jake then dragged the knife across the belly making the cut longer and deeper. He retracted and it jumped away. Alex's group fired on it again, distracting it. Greg looked and saw it was preoccupied, so he ran out towards it. Once he was close enough he slid and thrust the bomb deep inside the cut and slid out from underneath it and ran away from it. After a couple of seconds they heard an explosion from inside the Stinger. They all froze as they saw it moving around unsteadily then with a loud screech it fell to the ground motionless. Jake moved closer to check to see if it was dead or not.
Fox looked up and saw Alex and the rest of his group climbing down a ladder they found. Once on the ground Alex rushed over to Fox and Wolf, "you guys alright!"
Fox nodded, "I am, but Wolf…" he looked over at Wolf, who was sitting on the ground still clutching his chest.
Alex was shocked at see that and kneeled down to him, "Wolf are you ok," he said in a concern voice.
He was breathing deeply, "yes…it stings a lot…but I'm fine."
Alex moved his hand away and looked at the cut, "Fox do you have a med kit?"
Fox nodded as he took it out of his pack and gave it to him. Alex started to treat the cut as Amy came over and saw him, "is he alright?"
"Who's this?" Wolf asked.
"That's Amy one of the scientist here." Alex said, "Wolf how did this happen?"
"That dang thing slashed me with its stinger."
Alex froze after hearing that, "Wolf…you may be infected."
Wolf's eyes widen, "What!"
Alex nodded then turned to Amy, "do you still have that case with the cure inside?"
She nodded as she looked for it. Wolf spoke, "how are you going to use it, there's nod treatment pod anywhere."
Just then he saw Amy pulled out the case and pulled out some type of injector gun and loaded one of the vials inside it. She then kneeled down at him, "give me your arm." Wolf was hesitant at first but did what she said. Amy then inserted the needle and injected the substance into him. He felt the substance flow through his body but then in a couple of seconds he felt his body get a bit weak. Amy then put it away, "there you should be good now, but you'll feel weak for a couple of minutes."
"Yeah I can feel it."
Just then Jake came over, "it's dead."
Everyone then gathered around. "That's a relief," Greg said.
Fox then looked around, "well it looks like we're all are together. That's good." He then turned to Greg, "Good job with the bomb."
"Like I said…"
"Greg?" Amy interrupted.
"Amy?" she then walked over to him. "I'm glad to…"
But he was interrupted when she punched his face. "How could you do this? Why! Do you how many died because of you!"
Greg rubbed the spot that was hit, "I'm sorry but I can fix this."
Jason then spoke, "Amy who is this guy?"
"That's Greg," she then looked back at him. "Do you want me to tell them or are you?"
He was silent for a sec, but sighed as he spoke, "I…I'm the one…who created this virus."
"What!" they all yelled.
Greg just put his hands up and backed up, "look I can fix…just don't…"
Jason interrupted, "why should we, one of my men died because of you!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't want it to be like this!"
"Forget It!" Jake yelled. Everyone then looked at him. "Look we have more important matters right now, we're deal with him once we get the back up generator up."
Jason then sighed in anger as he walked away. "Lets move."
With that they followed Jake to the generator. They passed the Stinger on their way, but they stopped when they heard a noise. "Look out!" one of them yelled at Jake. He looked over and saw the Stinger's tail headed straight towards him.
A/N: hope you like, i'm trying my best right now. i'll try to get the next one up soon.
