Of Clichés and Tropes
Chapter 4- A Bad Day to be a Kett
Back on Planet Weird, the Kett had arrived. What they didn't know was they missed the Tempest by thirty minutes.
The Kett Ascendant from the cruiser, his wound patched and in a new set of armor, was steaming mad. "The escape pod is still there. But where are the Pathfinder, that Asari, and the Angara?! How did they escape?! Who got them off-world?!"
The Exalted Asari was next to speak. "The 'Asari' they had with them is not to be underestimated, even my absorption was not fast enough to deal with her biotic storm."
A Kett Chosen standing near the Ascendant turned his attention to his commander. "Maybe their ship, the-" He spoke the name with venom. "-Tempest somehow followed our long range FTL wake. Somehow kept up, and picked them up when they crashed."
Rustling was heard, and a large bush moved.
Another Kett Chosen approached. "Over here, possibly the specimens..." He raised a hand to part the bush.
A trident was thrust out, impaling the Kett through and through.
The Kett hacked blood, and died soon after.
The fiery demon who had terrorized the camp, then tried to exterminate the Pathfinder team had now set his murderous rage that not even death could quell upon the Kett. It ripped the dead Kett off the trident and glared at the other Kett.
The Kett Ascendant's eyes widened. "What is that?!"
The Exalted Asari readied her biotics. "I'll subdue it, for testing." She ran using her biotics. The new, unknown infernal creature was now going after the other Kett in the area, who were shooting it to little affect. She grabbed the monster from behind, and begun feeding on its life force.
However, the life force wasn't biotics, or bioelectricity. It made her insides burn, it was too dark and foul, even for her.
The demon's neck turned around a hundred and eighty degrees, staring at her with fiery eyes. And its arm twisted and grabbed her neck, and squeezed
The Exalted Asari was choking and blanching, she struggled to get free but couldn't. And her biotics weren't working. "W...What...is..this?!" Her windpipe was being crushed, and she felt as if her insides were being eaten up by the energy she absorbed.
The other Kett fired at the creature in an attempt to save their comrade.
The Ascendant was frozen in fear, and summoned the courage to activate his arm communications device, unusually for a Kett his voice was full of terror. "We need extraction! There's some...demon...monster...I don't know what it is but it's killing us! We need extraction now!" His fear clouded his hearing to their affirmative reply. He looked up.
And witnessed the demon crush the Exalted Asari's throat, and toss aside the corpse. And the energy she absorbed started to burn rapidly, her body was burning charcoal black right before his eyes.
The Ascendant took a step back. What is that thing?! And what is its power?!The Kett had never seen something like that. Something burning with infernal Hellfire and so full of hate that exceeded any hate he had seen or felt before.
The remaining Kett fired at the monster. Anointed let loose with their Soned assault rifles, but even that did little.
The monster stabbed a Destined through the eyes with the trident and ripped out the trident, then grabbed another Kett by the throat and crushed the Kett soldier's neck. The demon tossed the corpse aside and the creature's attention turned to the Anointed, it chucked the trident at one, killing the Anointed. The other dropped the gun, and went for the trident.
Upon the Kett grabbing it, he started screaming in utter agony while the same infernal fire engulfed its arm and spread, and the Kett was left on the ground rolling and screaming on fire before dying.
The monster turned on others, and broke bones and stabbed with the trident.
Soon only the Ascendant, a Destined, and another Chosen remained.
The Destined attempted to, out of desperation, stab the monster with a Kett Carfalon blade. The blade slid in, but the creature didn't slow, and grabbed the Kett. And the Kett was begging. "N-no! Let me go! I'll lea-." He never finished, the monster snapped his neck like a twig.
The drop ship came into a hovering position behind the Ascendant, and the Kett turned towards it. A Chosen behind him.
The Ascendant jumped into the hovering drop ship.
The Chosen jumped on grabbing the side, then started being pulled.
The Kett cried out. "No! Don't let the thing get me!" He was yanked away, and screamed in utter terror and agony before the screams were silenced.
The Ascendant shut the hatch, and slid down against the wall by the door.
A call came over the comms. "They're most certainly gone. Found a part of the road and surrounding forests burned, still heated from a ship taking off in a hurry."
The Ascendant shook, and sobbed; and the other Kett on the drop ship and hearing over the comms were shocked. They'd never seen a Kett do this.
They would soon find out what transpired, and they added a note to their star charts to stay away from the planet.
Jason Voorhees stood in front of the 'shrine' he made to his mother Pamela Voorhees. Her head had rotted, and he saw the worms and maggots on her head.
He felt the Hellfire burning strong inside of him and held the trident tight.
He glanced at the clock, which was seconds from midnight. And looked at the shrine again. He had done his mother's wishes again. And was content on returning until next time.
The clock struck midnight, and a Hell portal opened beneath his feet.
It wasn't his end. No. He was going away for a short while, until the next Friday the thirteenth when he would terrorize the next group of fools who dared to be in Camp Crystal Lake.
He sank into the portal, awaiting the time he could return again to continue what his mother wanted him to do.
