Chapter 16: Theros *Ok, this chapter might get a little graphic b/c when destroying mosters, it's always fun to describe what happens to them every blow, so forwarned....*

I aim my laser gun at a the Thornin and fire, hitting him on the chest, the laser rips through his skin, shredding the organs as it goes through, bursting out the back sending a splash of green goo against the Voot. Kor leapt out of the Voot and fired several small missiles at the monster on the right, exploding him in a burst of green. Organs splatterd all over the ground as Xen leapt forward, sending a blow to the face of a pudgy Porkpousi, sending his flabber flying to the right, his head following, spining him backwards to fall on his back with a thud. Xen's spider leg came hurling down to pierce into Porkpousi's stomach, driving down into the flesh. The porkpoursi let out a wail of pain as Xen ripped the spiderleg upwards, tearing his fatty skin open in a straight line so all the goo and insides spilled out. Another Thornin fiered a series of thorns at him, two hitting him in his shoulder, knocking him back away from the blubbery carcass.

I turned from slashing another monster to fire at the Thornin, hitting him square in the head. It burst, sending splatters of green and pink flying every which way. A big red eye flew out and landed near my foot as I blocked an oncoming attack with my left arm. There was a stinging sensation as a thorn form a Tornin's attack lodged itself in my left arm. I screamed out, twirling around, loosing my balance and tripping over a piece of junk and falling to land on my back with a thud. The Thornin leapt towards me, standing over me as I looked up, recovering from my fall. He opened his palm and aimed it at me. Suddenly his body was blown away to the left with a sceech. In his place, Xen landed and looked at me before pulling me up. We turned and blocked an incoming attack from two more monsters. Suddenly something slimey wrapped around my waist and pulled me backwards. I dropped my gun as I flew backwards to face what had grabbed me.

I came face to face with a gigantic Theros. He held me up to his face, his tounge wrapped about my waist as he spoke, no londer prolounging his S's now that his tounge was busy.

"Ahhhh....I knew I would see you again."

"You! You ruined my SIR! You'll pay you stupid exile!"

"Really? What a thing to say right now. Have you looked about you? You seem caught in my snare now...don't you think?"

Suddenly, Xen flew in from the right with a sharp blade and swung it downwards on his tounge. Before he could slice through it, another tounge spit out of his mouth, wraping itself around Xen, squeezing him until he lost grip of the blade and dropped it to the ground. He squirmed, olny to cry out in pain as the sharp bumps on Theros's tounge scraped his skin.

"Nice try, but no luck! This is where you fall, my dear invaders! You kind did me wrong. So many years ago that was. Yes. I was the emporor of my planet, Derastt! But then your kind came along and took over. Sure, we thought we could easily beat you, but you were too powerful for us. You overtook our empire and took our planet as your own. I vowed revenge, but my people were brainwashed by your promises and banished me. I came here to rebuild my forces and take my revenge. Yes. But now that you're here to conquer this planet, I can begin phase one of my plan! Useing your skin, I can penetrate your systems and destroy the Armada from the inside out!"

"What?!? You can't do that! I'm still useing my skin!"

"When I get done with you, you'll have no need for it. I'm going to invade your brain and take over your body to use it to my will. After I destroy all these witnesses and reprogram your android, I shall make my move and nothing, NOTHING! Can stop me from crushing the Irkens!"

"That's Impossible! They'll know it's not me!" I say, hoping they will if it happens, my brain spinning for answers.
