Chapter 12. Da'guande

As soon as the ooman began firing, Da'guande ran out of the path of the shots! He had been dodging for a few moments when he realized that Steg'-in was already wounded, and had no way to out run the blasts! He looked at where his friend had been, but only saw a body covered in green blood!

The moment he saw it, he stopped for a split second, and got hit by the burner in his shoulder! That jolted him out of his brief moment of grief and gave him a whole new feeling. Rage! He dodged more blasts, but ran toward the ooman instead of away from him! He activated his wrist blades, and tried to slash through the ooman's stomach!

It managed to move out of the way, but Da'guande still ripped his burner to shreds! The ooman pulled out another one that it had strapped to its back, and fired it right through Da'guandes ribs! It didn't fire nearly as rapidly as the other burner, but had the force of a ship ramming into his body!

He fell to his back, and the ooman pressed his burner on his head! Da'guande punched the ooman in the wrist, and twisted his own so that his blades sliced through its arm! The ooman jumped back in pain, screaming at the top of its lungs! Da'guande pulled out the naginata strapped to his back. It resembled a long glaive, but the metals that made up the handle were far more valuable, and thus the spear was reserved for elders.

He slashed across the oomans chest, and then his face, before a single drop of the blood from his arm fell! As it collapsed, it looked Da'guande in the eye, and the n'dui'se shoved the naginata through his!

As he pulled it out, he ran over to Steg'-in. The devoted hunter had dozens of holes in his body, and had lost plenty of blood! He was still breathing, but just barely! He spoke as soon as he saw his mentor.

"You saved me from as much as you could. Only a mater of time until I got into a situation I couldn't escape." He said calmly. "Goodbye, my elder."

It was only a few more seconds until he stopped breathing.

The moment was interrupted when Da'guande heard footsteps! The elder ran to a nearby door and pushed a button next to it. Soon the door opened and Da'guande ran inside, listening to the oomans that entered the room.

"Holy it! What the ck is that?"

"Who cares, it smashed the auto guns and killed Schwar!"

Suddenly, as Da'guande listened, the tiny room he was in began to slowly fall! He looked down, and saw something that made him want to scream! The floor was covered in yautja blood! He looked more closely and saw there was dry ooman blood under it, and lots of it!

After a few seconds, the room stopped moving, and a door opened behind him! He was so confused that he backed out the door without looking at his surroundings. But after a few seconds, his leg bumped into something! He turned around and looked at it. It was a hard meat egg, and it was opening!

He immediately shoved his naginata through the opening in the top, only for another face hugger to latch onto his mask! It began to secrete a small amount of its own blood on his mask! Not enough to hurt him, just enough to get rid of the thick metal helmet! He grabbed the monster and threw it to the other side of the room, and then he took of the broken bio mask.

He got a good look at his surroundings, and was shocked by what he saw! He was in a gigantic chamber, full of hard meat and their eggs! There were ooman corpses attached to the walls by large cocoons! Each ooman's chest had been blown open from the inside! He saw a large hard meat queen in the middle of the room, its egg sack clearly getting ready to create another monster!

He ran up to the door he had entered, but it was locked! There was a something written in ooman speak, but he couldn't make it out under all the blood smeared over it! He wiped it off and tried to read it, but a nearby hard meat attacked him before he could translate the words!
