INT. UTILITY TUNNEL

They make their way out into the tunnel - BAM!

They turn, ready to come face to face with the terror, but it's too big to get through the doorway.

A moment as they catch their breath - then - THWIP!

Its tongue whips through the doorway and IMPALES Rupert through the stomach!

Rupert struggles as the tongue starts pulling him in.

RUPERT: Eric!

Eric doesn't move.

Leo, Kyle and Stan lunge forward and grab Rupert, pulling on him as the tongue tries to reel him in.

Rupert SCREAMS in agony as the tongue keeps pulling, but the trio manage to pull him off - freeing him from the tongue with a wet slurping sound.

Q-Beast lets out an enraged SCREAM and slams itself against the doorway. Cracks start to appear around it.

Kyle and Leo get under each of Rupert's arms and get away from it.

Despite being played by The Rock, Rupert ain't looking so hot.

Q-Beast lunges at the doorway again and again, widening old cracks and creating new ones.

LEO: It's going to get through!

They get to the stairway at the other end of the hallway.

RUPERT: I can't - I can't make it up...

ERIC: Leave him!

Rupert glares at him.

The doorway behind them is crumbling under Q-Beasts attacks.

Eric is at the foot of the stairs, itching to run up.

ERIC: Come on! Let's go!

Kyle spots something on the wall of the tunnel.

KYLE (to Eric): Hold him!

Eric reluctantly gets under Rupert's arm as Kyle moves to the side of the hallway, disappearing into darkness.

LEO: Kyle...

Eric tries to keep his distance from Rupert's blood matted shirt.

The Q-Beast breaks through the doorway!

KYLE (from the darkness): Through here!

Eric and Stan move Rupert toward Kyle's voice.

Leo and Jimmy follow.

Kyle stands in the darkness, his phone out, its light on, shining on an open doorway.

KYLE: Hurry!

Q-Beast charges down the hallway as Stan and Eric get Rupert through the door, followed by Jimmy, then Leo.

Q-Beast's tongue lashes out and narrowly misses Kyle as he lunges through the door.
