Part 12:
The deathclaw jumped and launched its whole body towards Chen, but this time, Chen ran towards the lunging beast, drawing his sword. Smokes and dusts stirred and flew around the room as the result of the wind from their attack. A moment later , it was cleared, Chen can be seen crouching in between the deathclaw's long arms, unharmed, while the deathclaw's claw sank deep inside the floor and missed Chen. Chen was in a crouching position, with his hand holding the sword's handle and his left pushing the pommel of the sword, and blood was leaking out from the deathclaw's wound and onto the sword's handle. The sword was firmly planted deep inside the deathclaw's abdomen. Then Chen pulled out his sword halfway and gave the beast a deep slash across its chest.
Blood splashes out like a small fountain, as the beast gave a long scream and collapsed on the floor. Chen put his sword back into the scabbard and stood up, as he looked at his fallen opponent, but he fell down immediately and realizing that his wound from the previous attack was getting worse with each time he moves his body. As Chen struggled to get up, he heard a disturbing hissing noise behind him. Chen turned around slowly and saw the chest of the beast expanded and shrank slowly…
"The beast still lives" thought Chen. Before Chen could react, the beast had opened its eye and swung its claws to each of its side of the body. It missed Chen, but the floor was completely smashed and they both fell into the huge hole on the ground…
Both of them fell from the third floor till they hit the concrete of the ground floor. The noise of floors collapsing had alerted all the guards in the outpost and they began to close in to investigate the matter. Chen opened his eyes and realized he fainted from the impact of the fall, he tried to move his left arm and a sharp pain stroke him, and he realized that he had his arm was broken. Furthermore the SFS was still not done recharging, Chen knew that if he was to face the entire camp of mercenaries in his current condition, he would be not stand a chance … Suddenly, the rubble was busted through and five huge claws were right in front of Chen's face. Chen leaned backwards and knew it was the end for him.
One second past, two second past, and nothing happened. Chen opened his eyes and saw the claw froze in there and realized that the it could not strike further. It is appeared that the deathclaw, after falling from 3 levels, was still conscious and still attempted to attack Chen even though he was out of reach as its legs were pinned down by rubbles and beneath them was a large metallic water pipe supporting the rubbles, it was impossible for the deathclaw to get away like this. Soon Chen can hear concerned voices coming closer and closer. With SFS system depleted, and badly wounded, Chen knew he cannot fight his way out of this. Chen put his hand near his belt and looked at the grenade he picked up during the second level, and he came up with an idea.
