Author's note: Wow! It's been awhile. Got to make it up to you some chapter will introduce new Povs. I don't know how I can make you guys become aware of the change of person so I'll just do what I have just done below.

"A day! You gotta be shittin' me! We'll be fine pieces of protein by that time!"

We contacted the closest planet in our system which was Earth for extraction. I've got no qualms about getting away from those scary ass-faces but in a day? Their going reach this casino in about an hour.

"Pasada! Make yourself useful and grab a turret. We're gonna hold this position."

"Sir yes sir!"

For as long as I lived here there was nothing as bad as this. Guess God has another plan for us.

I sprinted to the roof and hopped onto the turret and flicked off the safety switch.

"Ian..."

"Huh wha...?" I shifted over to my side to see a fellow partner in crime, Scotty. He was manning the turret beside me.

"...Shit man! I'm shaking like a 9.0 earthquake and your as calm as a cherry blossom!" He gave out a huge sigh and then threw me a lopsided grin. "I heard Chancellor Granger preach unitology earlier. He thinks that the things that are coming are gonna be our salvation."

"Ha!" I couldn't help but laugh, "So we'll be saved when we get cut to pieces? That's very rich coming from a believer of a shit religion. What's worse is that they probably connections with CEC. The fucking CEC."

Scotty grunted in agreement. "Hey did you see that huge package that the Tetra government received at Cargo Department? The Captain kept going on and on about how that thing was responsible for what's happening. He even argued with Granger."

I tightened my grip on the turret. An argument with the chancellor of unitology? Isn't that bad for the Captain's health? Granger is one of the two most influential men on Tetra, the other being President Eastwood. Eastwood and Granger are almost complete opposites. Eastwood had the love and respect of his people and Granger has been swimming in the creek of controversy. There's numerous rumors about him ordering assassinations against people who opposed him and his precious unitology.

"Really? Must have been quite something."

"You fucking bet your ass it was! I thought they were gonna tear each other's throats out and eat'em."

(Malcom Phillips)

I never seen Holstrom Casino before but I know plenty about it. The place was a huge maximum security prison converted into a casino. Even though the government still calls it a casino, they still use the prison cells there.

As Allan sped us closer to the entrance, I got a better look at how big the casino was. How could I have not noticed something so massive?

"Mal, we're here. Let's go!"

We got out the car and rushed inside past the soldiers. We were greeted by a man with clip board.

"Ah! Your the last to come. Set yourselves up near the fountain." He pointed to the huge fountain at the center. "You'll be protected by Tetra's finest! Don't worry!"

We set ourselves up and just sat.

Damn this place huge. Most of the Tetra population are in here and the place is barely half empty.

"Excuse me guys but can we set up here with you?"

I turned and saw 2 girls and a woman, probably family.

"Sure, why not?" Why would I send them away? Allan and I are saints.

After they were done setting up, the two girls sat next to me while the woman began speaking with Allan.

"I'm Maria and this is Dahlia. What's your name?" One girl asked me.

"I'm Malcom Phillips but you can just call me Mal...hehe..." Dammit! Why am I blushing?

Who am I kidding, these girls are beautiful and look my age too! Maria had shoulder length red hair with glowing light blue eyes. Dahlia wore her hair in a ponytail and had deep dark blue eyes. Odd traits but I'm not complaining with the results.

"I don't think I've ever seen you before, which section did you live in?" Dahlia queried.

"Section 20, lived there since I was 5."

"Wow! We're from the other side! Section 2!"

Really? No wonder I didn't meet these girls. Tetra is divided into sections, 60 total. First 10 on one side, next 10 on the other and it keeps going. We could access the sections 31-40 and 51-60 but going to the sections across from them is a real pain. Standard toll fee is 13,500 credits. Only rich and powerful people go across which were not many.

After an hour of talking, something popped into my mind. What's going to happen now?

I asked around the casino and found out that we were going to be transported off Tetra to Earth. But it will all take a day! Those monsters are coming for us right now! There gonna be here and minu-

"Maker! There coming!"

I heard guns being fired and the frantic shouting from men. The monsters are here.

(Ian Pasada)

So many of them! Fucking A! I pulled the turret trigger and sprayed it all over them. Waves of them kept coming. Each line of monsters that were shredded to pieces were replaced by a new line.

"Get the grenade launchers! We'll send those demons back to hell!"

Couple seconds later, there was a barrage of explosions and smoke striking the incoming horde. They still kept coming...

There was sudden roar which made me jump. Out of nowhere came this huge...thing. It charged straight to the entrance.

"Shoot it down! Shoot it down! If it get past the gates then..."

We were too late, the monster had made it through.

(Malcom)

We heard a tremendous roar coupled with screams that followed. A huge monster slammed through the front doors. It started swaying its massive arms around, brutally swatting the poor people. What happened next was pure chaos.

"Upstairs! Let me through!"

"Mother fucker get out of the way!"

"Mommy!"

NO! Where was Allan? Where did he go? I quickly held Maria and Dahlia by their arms and ran for the stairs.

"Where's mother?" Dahlia was in tears.

"There's to many people going through there! We won't make it!" Maria cried.

Dammit! What are we gonna do?

Another gut-wrenching roar echoed the casino. I turned to see a hulk of mass charging right towards us.

Think Malcom! What can we do?

I quickly pulled Maria and Dahlia with me and ran through the slot machines aisle

No...no...NO...N-There! A door! That thing can't follow us through there!

We ran inside and shut the door. I immediately began looking around. What is this place? The basement. It was dark but not completely. My eye's caught more stairs descending.

"Malcom, let's go down more!" Maria squeaked. Dahlia nodded in agreement.

"Y-yeah good idea!" Are you kidding me! I'm so afraid of the dark my heart's gonna explode combined with the running.

We began walking down the stairs. How far does this thing go? It's so dark too.

Now that I've calmed down, I should think about what happened.

Shit! How can I be calm in situation like this! I don't know what happened to Allan and the monster has probably overrun the entire casino. Now I've got 2 girls to protect along with myself.

I suddenly remembered something and I felt around my coat for the plasma cutter. Holding it in my hand, I could hear Allan's voice.

I don't fucking know what those things are. But when your in a pinch and you really have no other option, shoot those things with this.

Allan...

I tightened my grip on the plasma cutter and followed Maria and Dahlia.

Down the steps into darkness.
