Spells and Louds.
Chapter 558: The tremors beneath pt.1.
(Somewhere outside of Royal Woods.)
It is early morning on January 26, and everyone is either awake, asleep or just trying to get some sleep back and we see a Multi-gunner I.F.V driving through the roads on the eastern side of the town and at patrol and two peacekeepers inside driving and manning the weapons.
"And so, if they think that it's a good idea to have the rhino tank park near the Grizzly's, then that's a major bad idea in that plan. Those things are wide and won't even fit."
"I could only guess that it did not end well."
"No it did not. They tried to park it, but then the Rhino tanks' engine breaks down and it turns out, there was a crack on the gearbox and so the Rhino tank was stuck in the middle of the tank driveway."
"Heavy duty traffic and chaos in the middle of the tank driveway huh?"
"Shit yeah, for 5 minutes. Then someone brings they're Apocalypse Tank in and uses the magnetic harpoon, to tow the rhino tank out of the way and everything went smooth to drive again."
"Glad that was taken care of and…. What in the sam hill is that?"
The two soldiers see a white car has sunken into the dirt nearby on the road. They stop their vehicle and get out. The two troops have their shotguns ready, and they have their riot shields up as well and with them is an assault rifle, just in case.
"Eyes up and keep a sharp eye on whatever is around you." They both look around and slowly approach the white car.
One of them looks at the window, the window of the back because the rest of the front is sunken in. "Maybe they lost control of the ride and fell into a sink hole. Shit happens, right?"
The soldier then looks inside and he sees something red. "Hang on. I gotta do something." The soldier uses his shotgun's handle and he breaks the glass three times and then uses his armored gloves to rip the glass off. Both men look inside and are horrified by what they see.
The insides of the car is coated in red. Red everywhere, blood, torn clothing from a man and a woman and they see some of their hands clinging to the door handles. "What the fuck happened here?!"
"Something's wrong, something's terribly wrong man." They both backup and look around. "This isn't good. We need to call HQ and tell them…."
They then hear a low grumbling sound, and they point their guns to wherever it is. "Eyes up. Something did this and it's still here." They switch to infrared and look through the forest for anything.
Then one of them looks to the trees and sees all the forest-dwelling Pokèmon are clinging to the trees and looking scared, some of them are looking to the ground. "Hey man, look at this."
The other peacekeeper sees this, and they could only guess. "Something must've spooked them."
"And whatever it is…" They hear another low growling and grumbling. "Is still here."
Then they see the ground moving. "What the hell?" It then goes closer to them and they begin to shoot at it.
The only thing left now, is the screams of the two soldiers, their shotguns that are now silent and the sound of something grumbling into the ground.
(Hours Later.)
A massive patrol team has been deployed and are searching through the woods through ground and air and are trying to look for whatever caused this.
Lincoln walks towards the empty IFV and then looks to the white car. "Anything?"
Luna looks inside. "Well, a lot of blood, guts and gore, but nothing else." Luna then steps away from the place. "Something came and something tore the folks apart, and the troops apart too."
They both look to the remains of the helmets and their shotguns that are bow broken. Lincoln kneels down and looks at the movement of the ground.
"Whatever did this, is total subterranean, and is likely to strike again." Lincoln then makes contact with the other troops and the team. "Guys, call off the search. I think whatever it is we're up against is underground and chances it could strike again, fall back to this point, now."
Lincoln then looks towards Linka and Leni. "Girls, anything from the plants?"
Leni and Linka place their hands onto some trees and then go back towards Lincoln.
"The only thing the trees say is that whatever was here, was deadly, very hungry, possibly angry, very big and underground and the two soldiers were taken into the dirt and are long gone" replied Linka.
Leni then explains what she heard. "The other trees also say that the white car was stopping to fix their tire, then something attacked them and the couple hid in the car and then something dug into the ground and dragged them under and then there was screaming and that's it."
Lincoln thinks about this. "Then this thing is total subterranean in nature, and possibly hunts using sound and vibrations. Way too obvious."
"Yeah, but we don't even know what it is" said Luna. "Or when it will strike again, or if it's gonna be alone." Luna pulls out her sword and looks around. "What the heck is going on here?"
Then Jack Cyber arrives, transforms to his original form and lands down. "Guys, tons of Pokèmon have fled from the forest and are making their way through the trees and all of them look damn right spooked. Even some of the larger and tougher ground based Pokèmon have fled or rocky grounds"
"Jordan is headed back here with Dominic and it seems like her Indoraptor knows something is there and it might be still in the area and possibly, hunting for whatever is next on the meal list."
This makes them concerned. "Where is Jordan now?" asked Lincoln.
Then Jordan arrives back onto the asphalts road. "Guys, something is in the forest, underground."
Lincoln then uses the communicator. "Anyone still out there in the woods. Get to high ground and wait for aerial escorts to pick you guys up. Something's in the ground and is not to be trifled with!"
The rest of the team shows up back to where Lincoln and the others are. "Everyone here? Everyone accounted for? Who's missing?" asked Linka.
"No one missing, but I did drop my walkie-talkie and I saw it go into the dirt when someone was talking to it" replied Boomer. This shocks them and they all look towards him. "What?"
Then the ground shakes and they see something coming down the road and its Peter Sharp and his pickup truck.
"Is that my dad?" asked Sam. she looks closely. "Oh, it is dad. Where the heck was he all day?"
"Took him long enough. We need backup here and he comes in late" said Neil. "And where in the sam hill is Leon and Sergei?"
The truck stops and Peter Sharp comes out and he has shades. He then looks around and sees the white car. "There the hell you are, dude where have you been?" asked Neil.
Peter ignores them and he walks to the remains of the car and sees the insides. "Hell." He then looks to the movement of the ground. "Damn." He then picks up the shotgun and he smells something. "Oh shit. It can't be."
He then looks to the forest and he sighs. "Well, I should've know they'd be here."
They're all confused by what he's saying. "What? What is here?" asked Sunset.
But then they hear this odd sound of hissing and growling in the sky. "What the hell was that?" asked Lincoln. He arms his weapon and looks to the sky.
Peter Sharp grabs his sniper rifle and he arms it with heavy bullets used to hunt large animals. "Didn't think these suckers would come here, but they did."
They all look around. Then Peter looks up. "It's coming from the skies folks, look up and look alive!"
They all look up and then they see it, this odd looking beast in a sort of dinosaur looking nature, with flaps to the sides and its flying and growls with its large beak.
"Umm, what am I looking at?" asked Boomer. He backs up and readies his scythe.
The creature flies around and it looks to the ground, it then triggers a weird opening from its head and it locks onto the one thing with the most heat signature and apparently Boomer is the target.
"What the heck is that on its head?" asked Sunset.
The creature roars and soars towards them. "Let led fly people! Take it down!" Peter Sharp then shoot the sky with his sniper rifle and he sets it to automatic and so the others do the same and attack the weird flying monster with full force.
The beast staggers in flight and because of all the shots it's taking, the monster is knocked out of the sky and falls to the pavement.
They all stop they're attacks and look at the creature. Peter Sharp laughs. "Got your ass down, bitch!" Peter then races to the corpse and he look at it.
The other also go to the body and are horrified by this odd monstrosity. "What in the sam hill am I looking at?" asked Jordan. "What is that thing?"
"Kinda looks like a turkey and a Pterodactyl had an unholy baby" said Boomer. "Also, why the hell did it look at me for?"
Peter kneels down and he pokes it with a stick. "Sick son of a bitch. Never thought in my years since 1980 would I see one of these mongrels again."
They all look towards Peter and then Sam looks to her dad. "Dad. Talk, now. What is that thing? How did you know it was coming? What attacked the car and the troops earlier? What is going on?"
Peter Sharp gets up and looks around. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. This ugly son of a bitch you see right here, is called an Ass blaster. First discovered in the nice and peaceful monster filled lands, of Perfection Valley, Nevada."
Boomer is confused by the name. "Sounds like a porno film, dude."
"Yeah, well. Someone named them and so the name stuck and so the Ass blaster name stayed in place and now these big suckers from the fiery pits are here and kicking it hard for flesh, bone and heat. Which is why it was targeting Boomer" replied Peter. "They sense heat, that's how they see and hunt."
"But the bad news gets worse."
"What do you mean worst? How bad does it get?" asked Leni.
Peter looks to the dead Ass blaster again. "Well, if you got Ass blasters, then it only means one thing. Then we got ourselves some Graboids."
Sam then recalls. "Graboid, Graboid? Wait. That thing in your office that's the taxidermy head? That thing is real and is here?"
Peter then looks to his daughter. "You didn't believe me when I said I fought a Graboid?"
Sam scoffs. "Dad. I thought you were trying to scare me out of your office. I didn't even believe a single story about you fighting giant underground monsters."
Peter sighs and he gets up. "Alright, listen up. The Graboid is a very large and very predatory prehistoric worm from the Precambrian era, and they've been into a hibernating state and have been popping all over the world. Arctic, Jungles, Africa, Mexico and then the source of it all, Perfection Nevada. That is where the Graboid was first sighted and the town fought them all."
"The Graboid is big, ugly and very dangerous. Whe it tries to look for food or grab something, then it releases three tongues that act like small mouths to grab onto their prey and drag them into the big mouth. These large worms are nearly as long as an oil tanker truck and the largest and most endangered in record is El Blanco and resides in Perfection Valley, Nevada."
They all have no clue if what he says it making some sense.
"Anything else we should know about these things, like the ass blaster?" asked Jordan.
Peter then shows them a picture from his truck. "Alright, so when a Graboid surfaces and stays on solid ground and does nothing, then it means it's ready to change. The Graboid will split open and release two or three small freaky monsters, called Shriekers."
"Shriekers hunt using heat sensors, like how rattlesnakes do. They're fast, small and fucking annoying when they pick up speed. Should they eat something, then they spit out a small ball that begins to form a new Shrieker and then it grows quickly. They communicate through the heat from their screams and coordinate as a pack."
Peter then looks to the Ass Blaster's corpse. "Then you got that ugly Mother Hubbard. The Ass Blaster, evolved from the Shrieker and have been evolved to take flight, using a mixture of chemicals in their ass which helps them take off and hunt from the skies. But they go into a food coma if they eat something cold."
"And then, when they land they lay the egg and the little bastard Graboid comes out and starts the whole hellish shit hunt again. Fucking circle of evil life and these monsters are in the fucking middle of it, and now they're here. I never thought they'd be here and I question how they came here."
"When you said you fought them, you did fight them?" asked Lincoln.
Peter Sharp sighs and he looks around. "I did. But, I wasn't alone, because someone helped me, a man who has fought these monsters since the first Graboid attack. A man who is known as the great monster hunter."
They all look to each other and then to Peter. "Who?" asked Luna.
Dropships fly by and they make their way to the forest to get the troops out of there.
Peter then grabs his phone. "Burt Gummer, and I am gonna call him."
Peter: Hey Burt, good to hear from ya man. How you doin' boy?
Burt: Sharp? Peter Sharp? The same Peter Sharp who fought with me on the wild desert of New Mexico? That Peter Sharp?
Peter: The one and only and the very same one who fought all three evolved sons of bitches with ya.
Burt: (Laughs) Well, I'll be. Good to hear from ya, didn't think we'd talk for some time after that battle with the Ass blasters from hell, so how's the family?
Peter: They're fine. Still fine, even with the death of the woman I live. I have been getting some odd life here in Royal Woods Michigan and I'm sure you know about that one.
Burt: Oh yeah, the Royal Defenders folks, and the Faunus and those weird animals, things and aliens? I don't know, the news isn't good where I am right now and where I am is not a good day either. Damn storm.
Peter: Yeah, I hear ya. Listen now I need a favor to ask of you, we got a little trouble here in good old Royal Woods, Michigan and I think the town could use your expertise.
Burt: (silence for 10 seconds.) No, it can't be. They've never travelled north before. Are you sure?
Peter: Burt Gummer I am staring directly at the corpse of the Ass Blaster we shot down and a couple in their car along with two soldiers were devoured by one underground freak of nature. So you tell me, Burt. What does it look and sound like to you?
Burt: I'm on my way. I'm gonna need a ride though, and my son is busy with something else in Florida.
Peter: We'll sent you a ride. See you when you get here and happy hunting's too.
Burt: Happy Hunting's indeed buddy, like old times my compadre.
Peter Sharp puts his phone away, and looks to the others. "And the legend cometh to our town." He then puts his gun back in the truck. "All we gotta do is wait for Burt Gummer to arrive and he'll have the plan to take down the monsters."
"Good, now all we gotta do is lock down the town and make sure the beasts don't spread like wild fire" said Lincoln. "We also need to evacuate every Pokèmon from the forest to avoid the Shriekers from eating them and multiplying."
"I'll call Gyro, he can do that one." Neil grabs his phone and contacts the guardian.
"I'm gonna go to the town and inform Mayor Davis, Sienna Khan and Executor Kal'Ladim." Jack Cyber transforms and he takes off back to town.
"I'll contact the outpost to get the schematics and the GST satellites ready" said Jordan. "Once he gets here, then we're gonna let him have access to the maps from space so he can pinpoint and tell us how the trap and plan he has works."
"I'll call some transport for Burt Gummer" said Linka, but then she looks to Peter. "Where is he?"
Peter then traces the call in his phone through the GPS. "He's uhh…… Somewhere near the Gulf of Mexico."
Then Leni asks. "Guys, are there any farms near the eastern side of Saginaw?"
(Somewhere far on the eastern side far from Royal Woods.)
A farm that houses chickens and also has a chicken factory is now empty, and the folks there have all long gone, eaten by something and then something shrieks into the air and more shriek with it.
To be continued…..
A/N: Well I'll be damned huh? Looks like Tremors is in the mix, you all know the film. Well, to some who know the film, this is gonna get bloody ruthless and very deadly real fast! Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
