Chapter 8 - Help's on the way
Tausha watched as Clay started up the ship. The shield slid up and they were able to see out of the control rooms window. Earth was right there, the huge blue planet floated in front of them. Clay moved the ship forward at super speed and Tausha was caught by surprise, she didn't have time to grab anything so she was flung back hard against a wall. It knocked the wind out of her, "A little warning would of been nice!" She was angry, Clay could tell by the tone in her voice. Clay just laughed, "Hold on, we are landing." He told her.
"Already? That was fast." Tausha walked up and sat in Clay's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
He looked at her funny and tilted his head to one side. Tausha glared right back at him, "What? This is the only seat in here, and I'm holding onto something aren't I? It just so happens to be you." She closed her eyes and smiled, while giving Clay a hug .
Tausha looked out the window and saw that Clay was landing inside a huge crater. "Oh my gosh! You did this? Mac is going to be so pissed!" She started laughing, "This is why Mac doesn't let me carry explosives anymore."
Clay landed the ship, they both put on their metallic masks and walked out into the crater side by side.
"Alright, lets find my friends."
Clay could hear people talking not too far away. "Someone is over that way." He pointed in front of them.
"Let's go see who it is." Tausha starting jogging in that direction she made sure to be stealthy as she did. She looked back to see if Clay was following and saw him finish locking up the ship, then put his cloaking device on. Tausha turned on her mask and saw Clay already standing beside her, she looked around and noticed five blobs of heat just ahead of them, it was obvious they were humans. She went to move forward but almost tripped over a piece of broken concrete, it was hard for her to see anything with the inferred vision, so she turned it off and moved forward with her normal sight. She wasn't able to see Clay anymore but she knew he was around, he was good at being really quiet.
Tausha moved up close to the five people and hid behind a building, she peeked around the corner and sure enough it was Brandy and Mandy. But they were unconscious and being carried away by three unknown people. Tausha looked closer and saw a dart in Brandy's neck, she was so furious that without thinking she walked out from behind her hiding spot and yelled at the three unknown people, "What have you done to them?" She didn't have her cloak on so she was easily spotted.
"Looks like we've got ourselves a witness." Kelley said as her and Steven started putting down Mandy's body. "You know honey, it's not Halloween." Kelley brought up her gun and was about to shoot, but Steven grabbed her gun and pulled it down. "Use the tranquilizer, you remember what Derick said!"
Kelley shoved Steven away from her, "I don't care what Derick said!" She was going to bring her gun up again to shoot Tausha but was stabbed in her side by an invisible object and flung into the wall of a building. Kelley grabbed at the spear sticking all the way through her and pinning her to the wall, her blood started sliding down the spear as it became visible, she died seconds later.
"What the hell was that?" Steven yelled as he dived to the ground. Only to hear heavy footsteps approaching him. He looked up but couldn't see anything, "It's invisible!"
Jason turned away from Tausha to see what Steven was yelling about, only to see Steven to be kicked through the air all the way to the wall Kelley was hanging from by an invisible object. Jason shot once at the shimmer in the air.
"Clay! Watch out!" Tausha screamed while charging at Jason.
Jason turned around to face Tausha, "It has a name?"
Tausha jumped at Jason ejecting her wrist blades, she was going to kill him for trying to hurt Clay. She jabbed her arm forward, ready to slice Jason open but he dodged her blow and caught her in mid air, flipping her over and body slamming her hard into the ground, her mask flew off and he laid on top of her holding her down. If he let her go she'd kill him for sure.
Clay heard Tausha yell at him, then felt the penetration of the bullet as it entered his arm. It didn't hurt him as much as it seemed, he was just pissed, especially when he saw the green blood trickle down his arm. He turned to see who had shot him and saw the male ooman on top of Tausha, that just pissed him off even more. No mere ooman male was going to touch Tausha, especially when he was around. He didn't even care about the other male ooman that he had just kicked, he was going to kill the one holding of Tausha. Clay roared a primal roar so loud that it made the hair on the back of every ones neck stand up.
Jason heard the monsters footsteps getting closer, "Oh shit."
Clay turned off his cloaking device and moved toward the male ooman on Tausha, he wanted this stupid ooman to see him before he ripped his head off.
Steven lifted his gun, "I see you now, you freak! Your gunna die for killing Kelley!" He was shaking really bad and his ribs ached, but he managed to shoot off four shots, then noticed he was using his tranquilizer gun. Idiot! He thought to himself, he had left his other gun back in the van.
Clay felt the four needles stab his back, but he didn't care, he was going to kill this male no matter what. Clay was standing above the ooman now, the blades from his wrist gadget sprung out and clicked into place. He brought his blades up, then started to bring them down, they would penetrate the oomans throat. Blood would splatter all over Tausha, but she would live.
Jason saw the blades coming right at him, but with quick thinking he flipped Tausha over on top of him, using her as a shield. If he was going to die, she would die first.
Clay held back, his wrist blades lingering right in front of Tausha's face. Tausha was terrified, he could see the fear in her eyes. He quickly took a step back and put his blades away. He would never hurt her, he cared too much about her to let anything harm her.
"Oh, so you won't hurt her." Jason never let go of Tausha's right arm, there was no way he'd let her hack him to pieces with her wrist baldes.
Steven had already taken off running for the van. When he got there he was stuttering so much that Derick and Chris couldn't understand a word he was saying. They finally calmed him down and let him explain. "There's a monster down there! He killed Kelley! And probably Jason! He's gunna to kill us! We need to go! Bullets and tranquilizers don't work on it, he's like the freakin terminator or somethin!"
Chris looked at Steven funny, "The tranquilizer didn't knock it out?"
"I put four darts into its back and they didn't even faze him! Jason put a bullet in him and it just really pissed the thing off!" Steven started to breath heavily, then he smiled, "But the chick that was with him had a really hot body, I don't know about her face but….Ow!"
Chris smacked Steven over the back of his head, "Who cares about some hot girl! We've got another alien species! You know how important this find could be?"
"That thing's not something you can just catch and study, it's a murdered!" Steven couldn't believe Chris wanted to catch the monster. "It killed Kelley!"
Derick was already grabbing more tranquilizer guns and net guns, he figured the nets would be strong enough because that's what they use to catch the alien bugs with. He threw a couple guns to Chris and Steven. "Lets go catch ourselves a new alien species." Derick started walking down into the crater, Chris followed.
"You can't be serious!" Steven was standing back by the van.
"Come on Steven! Don't be a pussy!" Chris yelled.
Steven pushed himself to move forward, his feet felt heavier than ever, "I can't believe I'm doing this." He met up with Chris and Derick, then they walked further into the crater, towards the creature Steven was so afraid of.
