Chapter 3: the cave and what is inside

When the reached the cave Josh stopped in awe at the size of the cave. It was at least two miles high built into the side if a mountain. The cave also had ten creatures in front of it. The natives rushed at the creatures throwing spears and shooting arrows as they went. Most of the creatures went down before they know what was happening but two of the heard them coming and were ready. The creatures swiped everywhere taking out a lot of natives. Josh pulled out his sniper rifle and shot the creature on a spot were its tough skin was already ripped away. The creature fell down with a piercing scream. The other one was taken down by a couple of missiles from Samus. From deep inside the cave there was a low rumble and the ground started to shake. Creatures started to pour out of the cave and swiped at the natives. Missiles and sniper bullets filled the air as Josh and Samus tried to stop the steady advance from the creatures. Josh ran out of bullets for his sniper rifle, dropped it, picked up a grenade, took of the pin, and threw it into the crowd of creatures. It detonated with cloud of smoke and when it cleared the creatures were shaken but not dead. He threw most of his grenades in the group which finally brought them down. He pulled out his assault rifle and started firing at the heads of the creatures finding that shooting them on the side of there head took them down the quickest. He relayed this to Samus and he saw a lot of blasts hitting the side of the creature's heads. After a while Josh realized that unless they found a better tactic that they were going to loss. He looked into the cave and saw strange green gases flouting around. He fired a test rounded into the gas and it caught fire. A massive inferno flew out of the cave and enveloped all of the creatures they were fighting.

"That works" he said and started to walk into the cave. After about an hour of walking they started to see goop on the walls and hear a distant humming that gradually got louder. They turned a corner and found themselves in a huge mile high dome with creatures in it at least 4 times longer then the ones outside. Without pause he threw a grenade at the nearest one. It turned to him without even flinching and opened his mouth. A low gurgle started and flames burst form his mouth. Josh rolled out of the way and felt the hair on his neck singe. He pulled his last grenade from his belt and waited for the creature to open its mouth. Without even pulling the pin he lobbed it into the mouth of the surprised creature. The flames came out of its mouth and the grenade went off. The creature fell back into another creature which angrily ripped its head off. There was only four creatures there so if they concentrated there fire they might be able to take them out. Josh pointed at the nearest creature and the natives started shooting arrows at it. It opened its mouth and two missiles knocked it back. It tried to blow fire again but instead its head exploded. The others charged at them learning from the mistakes of there brethrens. One ran strait at him, and no matter how much he shot at it it didn't stray form its headlong path. It rammed him in the center of his gut sending him into the opposite wall. He woke up a second later, but he couldn't feel his left arm. He staggered to his feet and picked up his machine gun and fired at the one that knocked him down. The gun clicked empty but he couldn't find anymore ammo. He picked up his battle knife and ran towards the beast with an angry yell. The creature had its head down, snapping at some natives. Josh jumped on the top of its head and started stabbing it repeatedly. The creature roared up in rage and pain. Josh climbed its head and started stabbing into the creature's soft mouth. He jumped back when he heard the gurgle in its mouth. Fire bellowed out of its mouth and it wined in pain again, the fire on the cuts hurting him. Josh found its eyes and stabbed them repeatedly. The creature finally shock him off and he fell into a pile of rocks. Even his body could not handle that much abuse and finally gave out or something happen to his spin. No matter how much he tried to move his body did not budge an inch. He watched as the creature he had blinded ran headlong it the wall and snapped its own neck. He looked over at the other beast as a salvo of missiles hit it and killed it. They had done it all, of the creatures were dead and there were many eggs around them. With that thought he pasted out.

He was in a strange house with beautiful view of an ocean. He looked up in the sky and even though it was day he saw two moons in the sky. He heard a sound behind him and slowly turned around. He saw Samus standing there in a beautiful dress.

"Morning husband" she said with a smile.

"What did you call me?" he asked confused.

"Husband of coarse, what else would I call you" she said moving closer. Something didn't seem right, he never remembered marring, but then she kissed him and he forgot about everything. About a minute later they stopped and he just held her close. She gave him a seductive smile and said

"Wake up you foul!"

"What?" he said and then felt a lurching sensation.

He woke up in his bed in the native's village. It was all a dream? He sighed to himself and opened his eyes. Samus was standing over him about to hit him

"What did I do?" he said sarcastically.

She looked at him happily "you're awake finally" she said and hugged him.

"I'm fine but my left arm feels funny." He said when she let go.

"We did it we got the egg" she said and lifted up an egg. For some reason he felt odd but he shock it off. "Are employer probably has a way to watch us and will get a ship down here soon so we better be careful" he said and helped him up. That odd feeling in his mind started again and stronger then ever, without him thinking of it he walked over and picked up his knife. He had no idea what he was doing. His hand came up and he know what the odd feeling was

"RUN SAMUS!" he screamed. She just stood there confused. "That man must have changed my brain to kill you run." Then he lunged at her. She could not move fast enough outside of her suit so in no time he was on top of her and had his knife up about to kill her. He used all his strength to make his arms stop. "Run" he said in a whisper, tears running down his cheeks. She kicked him back and ran to the door. "I love you" he said as she was about to leave. She turned below him a kiss, ran to her suit, and quickly got it on. He ran at her with the knife still in hand. She easily blocked it and picked him up. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"There is only one way off this planet the natives showed me an old ship a little ways off, you are coming with me." She said.

"But I can't stop" he said in a struggling voice. She then punched him in the face.

The next thing he remembered he was strapped down in an old rickety ship. He looked over and Samus was about to step out of the door. She looked over at the grunt he made trying to stop his body form trying to kill her. She walked over to him and took off her helmet. Her eyes were filled with sadness. She bent down and gave him a long kiss. He felt so happy that it seemed that his body had stopped trying to kill her. She put on her helmet and walked out of the door. After a second he noticed that his body was not trying to kill her.

"Wait," he said "it stopped!" He knew that she couldn't hear him through the thick door. He slumped down his mind filled with dread. He wouldn't even know if she returned the feelings he felt.

End…or is it?
