Carter stomps his foot square in the center of Ian's chest, knocking the wind out of him. The shotgun flies past Carter and lands somewhere behind him. "mmm....feed....flesh...."
Carter slowley rose to his feet and began laughing. He lifted his hands into the air, giving the signal for two giant tentacles to pop out of the walls. The tentacles push Jones away from Carter.
Carter yells back as he makes a hasty escape, "Mr. X and I have insured none of you will survive!"
Carter got outside and pushed a garbage dumpster in front of the back door. He escaped down an open manhole, disappearing into the murky sewer.
a giant mass of tenticals, like some crazed octopus, or squid broke through the wall, ensnareing those in the room and lifting off the ground, several of the tentacles becan moving toward the chewing mouth.
Yon had watched the whole scene unfold before him. The man who seemed to be crazy caught Yon's eye, he had seen that man somewhere before, but where. His attention was brought back to the problem at hand by the screams of the others who were now entangled with the squid like creature.
Being on the far side of the room with Rick and Lewis, allowed them to flank the creatures side, allowing them not to be seen for the moment. Rick and Lewis stood in a daze, Yon knew they were in shock and fear at was happening.
Raising his 30/30 Yon took aim at what he hoped was the creatures head. With a whispered prayer Yon began to crank the lever on his 30/30, sending round after round into the creature. Soon Yon was joined by his two comrades, as they too began to unload into the creature with shotguns. Yon looked over to Rick and yelled, " Shoot those tentacle's, you must free those people!"
Rick quickly took aim and fired off three rounds at one of the tentacle's holding the man named Ian. The tentacle blew apart dropping the man to the ground, and causing the creature to let out a high pitched scream. Lewis kicked the mans shotgun across the floor to him. " Get your ass up, and help kill this thing!" yelled Lewis, as he pulled out his Mac 10 and unloaded a clip into the creature.
Terrified almost beyond rationalization, Dr. Jones begins screaming "AHH!"
Instinctively, the doctor begins firing round after round from the gun at nearly point blank into the tentacle around her waist. After the six rounds are expelled, and the tentacle nearly severed, she continues clicking shots off trying to fire again without realizing there is no more deafening boom coming from between her hands.
Ian feels death onrushing as the mans foot lands squarely on his chest. No bones are broken, thanks to his strong frame, but he can not breath. He tries to reach for his shotgun, but its well out of reach. He sees the tentacles come down and ensnare him. His arms flailing, there is nothing he can do to save himself. After he is released by a few well placed shotgun blasts, Ian reaches down and grabs his shotgun. He also unloads a few blasts till he is out of ammo. Enraged at his close brush with death, he starts to bash at the tentacles with the butt of the shotgun.
The tentacle beast flailed around in pain and agony, taking dozens of shells to it's thick leathery head, and several of it's tenticals being severed off. it swept one of the tenticals toweards the members off to the side continually firing at it. the tentical smashed into both of them, but the creature didn't see the result, as it slithered back into the hole and dissapeared thoguht the darkness.
Yon kept firing into the creature till his riffle clicked empty. he quickly began to reload his weapon when Lewis yelled out, "Watch out!" but it was to late. As Yon looked up he saw a tentacle coming towards him. Before he could react the tentacle smashed into Rick and him, sending Rick flying across the floor and Yon through the air. Yon smashed into a near by wall, the sensations of pain racked his body as he tried to stand. As he stood up he felt pain shoot up his side, he had broken some ribs. Slowly he slid back down the wall, still weak from the impact and somewhat immobile from the pain.
Watching the creature warily as it dissappears into the walls, Ian reloads his shotgun. He looks over at the men on the floor, goes to offer his hand then thinks better of it with what happened earlier. He rips of the sleeves of his shirt, using them as a bandage to stop the bleeding of him scraped hand. He turns to the man dressed as Elvis," You must be the Yon that the Dr was telling me about. Thank you for saving my life. I thought I was a goner. "
When the man does not say much, Ian checks the hole in the wall where the creature had gone. He carefully looked up the wall, putting his shotgun in front. He could see no trace of the creature at all. Sighing with relief, Ian turns to the men. "So have you found any clues as to what is going on in this town? Or at least some better weapons would be nice. "
Trembling and quite white-faced, Dr. Jones gets right up to the edge of the hole, running a finger over the edge as she looks to make sure the thing won't return.
"Thank god its gone. That creature was awfully scary. So what did you all find. I hope you were able to find some better weapons and at least some hand grenades. I am all out of them. "
Ian takes his shotgun and examines it. He sees that some residue is on the handle of the gun. Maybe this would help to determine ways to kill these creatures in the future. He takes a plastic baggie from one of the desks and gathers the evidence in it. He places this in his vest pocket for safekeeping. He brings his fingers to his nose and gets a whiff of petroleum. Maybe these creatures will have a vulnerability to fire. Ian plans to look for some type of flamethrowing apparatus in the armory.
