Chapter 1
Military Personnel Mike Brunski looked out from his command post into the dead of night. Turning away he cursed under his breath and picked up his intercom.
"Nothing, I cant see a thing out there." He said into the small mic.
"Well keep an eye out there we don't want anyone getting in or out do we?" came the response.
"Why can't we just turn on the damn lights?" Mike said into the mic.
"Just hold your position soldier we'll turn'em on for you if we feel you need'em."
"Yeah yeah." Mike turned off the intercom and turned around to stare out into the inky blackness again.
The extra military precautions had been placed over the facility as an extra caution for any intruder three days ago. Some nut was breaking into nuclear factories and stealing radioactive material. Many were afraid that this would be the infamous Doctor Octopus but Mike had thrown away this idea remembering (like most sensible people in his opinion) that Doc. Ock. had been killed two years ago by Kain. (Remember? Check the Octo-Spidey series.) But it wasn't Mike's decision.
In quick response to the burglaries the government had placed strict security around all nuclear facilities until the fruitcake was caught. So naturally Mike as a lower level infantry had been placed in a bunker until dawn when he would be relieved.
Still staring out the window feeling very under-appreciated Mike saw something move in the trees. Quickly forgot it dismissing it as a squirrel or something like that until he realized it was getting bigger.
Unable to tell what he was seeing from this distance Mike grabbed a pair of binoculars and stared through their magnifying lenses at the moving object. Remembering that it was still dark he threw the binoculars away and grabbed the intercom.
"Turn on the lights!" shouted Mike.
The technicians obviously could hear the tension in Mike's voice because several seconds later the giant spotlights cut through dark sky like a hot knife through butter. Mike stared at where the thing had been, but there was nothing there.
Staring at the bare spot of earth he again grabbed for the mic. Feeling abit embarrassed he started to push the transmit button when a giant form fell from the roof of the bunker.
Mike hadn't seen what had fallen only heard it grabbed his Mk-47 from the wall and whipped around. Stopping short Mike stared at the. creature for several seconds then opened fire
He had barely gotten three shots off when the beast was upon him. Mike only lasted a split-second before the beast had snapped his neck.
