(602)

Turning to where the scream came from, I saw that Jamie was missing. What had just happened, I didn't know.

I ran towards the others in the group who all seemed to be scared and confused.

"Come in 602. Come in. What is happening?" Chris' voice cackled over the comm. I ignored him though because there were more important things to think about.

"Where's Jamie?"

They all shrugged and only Alec spoke, "We don't know."

"Guys TURN AROUND!" Paul screamed at us. Following the suggestion, we turned. What we saw wasn't something we were going to like though.

Out of the smoke came a figure carrying something in front of it. The figure was about 8 feet tall, green scaly skin, and had a tail protruding from its back. Two wings also spanned off of it.

The weird creature was holding a set of MJOLNIR armor in front of it that looked empty. From the bottom of the body area of the suit the tail was protruding. The armor matched that of Jamie's. What did this creature do with her?

The creature marched towards my allies and I slowly. During the slow march, he threw Jamie's body into the fire of the pelican. The creature's eyes fixed on my allies and I, not blinking even for a second.

Grabbing the pistol on my belt, I fired at the creature. Paul followed suit. The others were too much of a group of cowards to do anything. The bullets simply bounced off of the creature for the most part. Some sunk in, but they had little effect. The bullets we were using were about 1000 times more powerful than our normal Spartan's counterparts and could blow away anything. Why couldn't it hurt this thing?

Camie screamed as the creature got nearer. It pointed a finger at her and a small purple beam emitted from it. The beam flew at the screaming girl and penetrated her armor around where her heart was.. She fell onto her back as the creature drew nearer. Her vitals showed that she was fading fast. I continued to fire bullets at the monster until I needed to reload. Grabbing a clip from my belt, I continued my fire at it.

The creature walked over to the downed soldier and stabbed her below the stomach with his tail's stinger at the end. Camie moaned in pain as the tail impaled her. I saw the tail grow a lump that slowly traveled down the tail until it reached his body. This happened over and over again until I noticed that Camie's body slowly started to fade.

In horror, I stopped firing as I watched the gruesome event befall my ally. The creature laughed as Camie disappeared into nothingness. All that was left was the shell of her armor.

I closed my eyes and turned my head away from the gruesome scene. It was just too much to watch. That was sick the way the creature sucked the life out of her.

"That was delicious. Time for my third course." I hear the creature say in a scary voice. I can also hear it lick it's lips. Opening my eyes I realize that Paul is the closest to the beast.

Paul kept firing at the beast while it charged at him. Its shoulder connected with him and sent him flying. The monster jumped up and brought its elbow down on Paul's head. Kicking him to the ground, Paul's status bar showed that he was unconscious.

I shot at the creature with the pistol, but I ran out of bullets. I grabbed my shotgun from my back and I ran at the monster to save my ally. The creature turned right as I pulled the trigger on the shotgun and blew him to pieces.

His bloody body fell to the ground.

"602! Please report!" I just realized that Chris was still talking to me over the radio.

"I don't know how to explain this, but some weird creature just shot down our pelican and has killed two of my team-mates. Please send help as soon as you can."

"Already on it. I'm sending a recovery team. What is the condition of the creature?" He said to me.

"Well, I just killed it with my shotgun…," I started to say as I realize the creature is now standing, even without half of its body, "scratch that. Somehow it's not dead," then, the creature regenerated its body like new. I was starting to get scared, "and now is perfectly fine. Just bring some reinforcements as soon as you can!"

"I'll get there as soon as possible. Just hold on until we get there."

(Chris-417)

""I'll get there as soon as possible. Just hold on until we get there." I say over the comm. to my friend.

Looking over my desk, I hit a button so I could talk to my personal pilot.

"Nick get a Pelican ready to go ASAP. Tell Hunter, James, Dominic, and Leslie to come to the hangar."

"Why? What's the occasion sir?"

"Your other relative is in trouble."

(602)

"Hurry Chris, damnit." I swore to myself. This was not good. How was that thing able to regenerate?

Shooting the creature again with my shotgun, it just regenerated.

"This is fucking bullshit!" I yell. Alec and Callie are scared to hell by this creature while Paul is unconscious, and Jamie and Camie are dead so I'm fighting by myself at the moment.

'If I end up like Jamie or Camie…that means I'll never be able…I can't lose. I won't lose. My dreams will come true.'

(What do I do to ignore them behind me?)
(Do I follow my instincts blindly?)
(Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?)
(And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?)
(Do I sit here and try to stand it?)

Passing by Callie, the monster wraps his tail around her and stabs her in the chest. She struggles and tries to get out of his grip, but her body slowly fades away. I shoot at the monster again, ignoring the horror of my ally's death and putting it behind me.

Shoot. Bam. Reload. Shoot. Bam. Reload. it was a tiresome process, but I was trying to win no matter what so it didn't matter.

Alec turned to run from the creature that had just reformed right next to him. He got about 10 feet before being shot by one of the creature's energy beams. Alec landed on his stomach and tried to crawl away from the battle like the coward he was.

The creature however had different plans.

He walked over to Alec and simply stabbed him as he tried to crawl. Alec screamed as he slowly began to be sucked into that tail of the monster. I saw Alec stop struggling and I knew he was gone too.

(Chris-417)

I checked over all of my gear. One of the people I actually care about was in trouble and I needed to help them. I needed to make sure that I was ready to help without any chance of something going wrong.

"Hey Chris. Why are we here? What's going on?" Hunter-316 asks me as he enters the hangar. Right after him came the others.

"602 is in trouble and we are all going to help. Any questions?"

"Shouldn't 602 be able to deal with anything? I mean come on, 602 is smart and tough enough to get out of any situation. Why do we need to help?" He replied.

"The problem is a creature that so far has some killed 602's team-mates and it can seemingly regenerate. So, if it can take on 602's squad at the same time, it can definitely just beat one of them. So, we're all going to help. Now if there's no more question's, get all of your asses moving."

"You seem really tense." James says absent-mindedly to me.

"Well, everyone here should be. 602 is all of our friend, and Nick and Dominic's sibling. That's why I'm effing tense!"

"Sheesh. All I said was that you were tense." He replies.

"Shut the fuck up James. Hey Nick, can you drive this thing any faster?" I ask the pilot.

"Sorry, but no sir."

"Alright."

'Don't worry 602. We're coming.'

(602)

I shot at the creature and then it turned it's attention to me. Running at me, it was laughing and seemed confident that it was going to win. But, I was one of the strongest future Spartans, so I wasn't going to lose.

I punched the creature in the face to stop its charge. It stumbled and I shot it. That didn't hurt it, so I shot it again. Then it reformed and jumped at me.

I couldn't shoot it since I needed to reload, but the creature still was shot. I turned to see that Paul had gained conscious and was shooting with his assault rile. The monster growled and pointed his finger at Paul.

The finger emitted multiple beams this time and they all flew at Paul. Paul dodged one, but the second, third and all of them there after hit him and he screamed in pain as he started to fall with his finger still on the trigger. He fired straight in the air as he fell to the ground.

The creature jumped over to Paul and stabbed him in the back with his tail. All that was left was Paul's small set of armor.

The creature turned its yellow eyes at me and smirked with its beak of a mouth.

"Now little deary, just give up. You can't kill me. I'm the invincible Cell. No-one can beat me."

I didn't know what to say back to it, so I just kept quiet. Why did he call me deary? Is he weird or something?

He once again charged at me. This time I threw my gun to the side and decided to fight hand-to-hand with the thing that called itself 'Cell'.

This was going to be intense.
