Ruven left them to their fate. The creatures gather around them, enraged that they are in their nest. Chris couldn't believe what he was seeing, more than two dozen of them looking down on them from the trees, itching for a fight. The remaining soldier feels as though this was the end and went all out. He shoots his gun haphazardly all above him, the creatures disperse and manage to get to the ground past his panic attack. What Chris witnesses after that was unforgettable. They tear the soldier limb from limb within a few seconds, taking pieces of him to the top. What was left was a small puddle of blood, nothing more, nothing less.
Leon managed to pull him out of his trance and yells "RUN!"
They sprint for the top of the hill, in hopes of avoiding the same fate. One creature stands in Chris's way. He tries shooting it, but it moves in a flash, dodging each shot. It lunges for him. He manage to duck in time, right below the creature grabs him, and tosses it towards the bottom of the hill. They manage to reach the top and start running, but one comes out of nowhere and swats Leon against Chris. He falls to the ground, unconscious, oblivious to the creature preparing to kill him. Chris lets out a loud "NO!" before shooting the creature. It was too preoccupied with Leon to notice and was hit.
Chris empties his whole clip, but the creature still stands. It limps towards him, only to go pass him and ends up falling back into the nest, having others carrying it out. Suddenly, all is quiet, nothing happens. It was as if they disappeared. Chris frantically aids Leon, only to see one charge out of nowhere and bash him against the tree. He lays there next to him, falling in and out of unconsciousness. In their situation ,there was no escape. He hopes the comma sets in so he wouldn't know his fate. Suddenly, he was in blackness, only to awaken and look in shock, Piers.
Nothing could prepare him for what Piers did, static shoots out of him and repels the creatures. The last thing he can see is his expression as he looks down on him. He is soon unconscious again.
