They were running, running for their lives Tyrant quickly gaining on them. Every door they slammed, every corner they turned there it was smashing its way and cutting them off. This time, this time was different. Carl and Karen made it up a flight of stairs to the roof top. "We made it." Karen sighed in relief. The helicopter drew closer and just as it chunks of cement erupted in every which way. "Shit! Pull up, pull up!" The 'copter retreated back into the sky circling the apartment. They ducked and dodged. Rather large fragments struck Karen, blood ran down her head. She collapsed right then and there. And from the gaping hole a familiar sight came into view. No! We're so close! It looked different now. The left arm grew leaving traces of muscle exposed. The fingers merged into a claw. It charged with even greater speed than before. Carl jumped, the claw just barely nicking his side.
Automatic fire ripped at Tyrants torso. He looked up and saw that the guys in the helicopter were providing cover. Bullet after bullet, an entire clip was used up. As always it was un-effected. Carl rushed over to Karen. "Karen. Wake up. Karen!" She was not responding. Tyrant started towards his position, claw raised and ready to attack. More automatic fire struck but little was done slow it down. "Get us down there!" Someone shouted to the pilot. "Are you crazy?" After a while of shouting the pilot agreed and circled lower and closer to the apartment.
"Come on. Get in!" The man shouted. The distance was quite far but Carl was able to make the jump. Only problem was, he wasn't going anywhere without Karen. "We cannot leaver like this." He ducked just as more gun fire hit Tyrant, this time it stumbled back and fell into the hole. "Dammit, jump!" He shook his head. Two were fired, both hitting Carl in the leg he lost his balance and fell next to Karen's body. The man jumped from the cabin and motioned for the pilot to move up and drop a ladder. He hauled Carl up the ladder and laid him on the cabin floor then climbed back down for the other survivor.
Time was short, not bothering to check her pulse he lifted her into the cabin and laid her down. "Karen?" He sat up ignoring the pain in his leg. "She's dead." The man sat down panting. Not another word was said. The helicopter lifted from the scene. Tyrant came out of its little coma only to see its targets escape. In that instance with one fist it reached into its chest and clenched tightly. Moments later Tyrant exploded into a pile of smoldering flesh.
In the morning sky a bright object flew to the center of Raccoon. Immediately it detonated taking the rest of the city with it.
