The spy, Sorrell, jolted from his sleep from the sound of screaming. Still half awake, he sat up, rubbing at his eyes tiredly and looked at the door. Was that Dolphus who was screaming? A crash woke the spy completely.

"What the hell?" He frowned as he stood up from his bed and peered out in the hall. His eyes widened when he saw the medic running up the hallway in his direction with a weird, freakish black creature scrambling after him. The spy immediately shut the door and locked it. Fuck that.

Sorrell heard Dolphus run by, along with the screeching of whatever the hell was after him. With a sigh, he went to quickly get dressed and grab his weapons.

...

Bogdan was already armed with his bear claws and standing out in the hall by the time Dolphus reached him, "GET BEHIND ME DOKTOR!"

In which the defenseless medic immediately did, crouching behind the heavy with his arms over his head. His body stiffened at the sound of the creature screeching followed by a crunch and warm fluids splashing onto the German doctor. It was obviously blood, but who's?

Dolphus looked up and his eyes practically bulged from their sockets. The damned monster had pierced through Bogdan's head and throat with one of its scythe like forearms. It slowly pulled its arm out of the heavy's forehead and let the lifeless body drop on top of the medic. Dolphus wheezed under the weight of his deceased comrade, determined not to cry out and catch the creature's attention as it turned away, seeming to have completely forgotten about the Medic it was originally chasing. Perhaps it had a short attention span.

'Damn thing is dumber than I realized. Then again, it was Hugo. Emphasis on was.'

Because it certainly was not Hugo anymore.

...

By this point the other mercs had waken up to the chaos that was Dolphus's screaming and Bodgan yelling for him to get behind him.

Sorrell was among the first to see what the monster had done to the heavy, aside from the medic, obviously, as he was still hiding under his corpse. Sorrell wasn't all that disgusted or disturbed from the injury in Bogdan's head, having seen worse as well as been through worse. But then again, he was never killed by a monster.

"Need help getting up?" Sorrell offered a gloved hand to Dolphus, who quickly took it.

"Thanks, Sorrell. I though that creature would get me."

"There's always respwan," Sorrell scoffed. Dolphus slightly ducked his head. That may be true, but death was never fun.

The two turned their heads as they head footsteps rushing towards them. It was the other mercenaries.

"What the hell happened here?" Brandon starred at Bogdan's body in surprise, "Who killed our heavy?"

"Hugo did... sort of," Dolphus scratched his head, "it was him, but it wasn't him either."

"You're making zero sense!" The soldier, Johnathan, frowned and crossed his arms, "either it was him, or it wasn't! It can't be both!"

"Uhm..." The medic looked down, "I... guess it was technically him. But he... he transformed into a hideous creature!"

"Is that why I saw all those medics running into the desert like a munch o' sissies?" Duer blinked. He had gone to get himself a midnight drink when a group of the visiting medics ran by. Originally he laughed at them, too drunk to even think that something was wrong.

"Yes."

Sorrell sighed, "We need to get out of this area and figure out what we should do about Hugo. He is likely searching for his next victim, so we should move silently."

"Yes sir!" Jonathon was immediately shushed by the others as they covered his mouth. Even the loud mouthed Brandon was being more quiet than the soldier. Sorrell just shook his head with a sigh.

"Mon dieu."
