Turn Eight From out of the Darkness They Come

Post by Pale Rider » Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:30 pm

With a combined effort the men were able to lift enough of the grow to allow Tarik to crawl out from underneath the carcass. The men all settle down into a crouch, breathing deeply, the strain from lifting the massive beast from off of their comrade leaving them winded. Their rough breathing fills the silence of the tunnel as their ears clear from the whine of the rapid velocity rounds being fired from the SmartGun.

Thinking quickly the bruised and battered marine Tarik slips a belt into the SmartGun, rearming his weapon. At Tarik’s movements Altair straightens up and looks at his motion tracker, glancing down at screen he is rewarded with a sight that makes the hair on his skinned head stand up on end before he can speak the tracker begins to squawk its cry. “Lt, multiple bogies are approaching from the rear, they are nine meters (10 yards) and closing rapidly,â€

Joe didn't even have time to catch his breath. He quickly checked the nozzle burner on his incinerator unit and turned to face the direction of the oncoming movement. Joe was scared of what could be approaching. He wanted to spew flame and napalm in order to stop the rush, but somehow he kept his emotions in check. He quickly slid his finger onto the trigger and strained his eyes to detect anything in this darkness either with his IR or naked eye. His finger tightened against the trigger as he readied himself for an attack.

Joe yelled out his status, "I'm ready to fire!"

Joe could make out the figures and it was unlike anything he'd ever seen. He was sure they couldn't be friendly, and he was also sure he wasn't going to let them get any closer. Without even waiting for a response he opened fire. A jet of fuel and fire streamed out of the M240 Incinerator as Joe swept the flame around to the attackers on the floor, walls, and ceiling.

"Watch it! Seven total; coming on floor, walls, and three on ceiling," Joe called out to the other marines.

1....2.....3...
And with a hardy push the men freed Khan from his Furry Grave. "I outta mount this suckers head in my barracks room " Khan thought to himself as he yanked his Knife out of the Grows corpse.

He made quick inspection of his weapon, luckily enough it made it through with only a few scratches. He brushed the dirt off himself and reloaded his weapon.

The flame licks out, caressing the tunnel with its touch, the rush is halted as the scorpion shaped forms are embraced with its warm touch. Three are shattered in a hail of bullets as Tarik squeezes the trigger. The flames of the flame throw illuminate the tunnel bringing a new aspect of the tunnel to life. The walls which before seemed to be machined quality supports can now be made out to be secreted like the walls of a beehive. These walls ignite, causing the temperature to rise as the marines are forced to retreat from the heat down the tunnel in the direction of the grows frantic race for the surface, walking carefully down the tunnel, the Marines enter a chamber roughly 10 meters by 8.5 meters with tunnels extending to the east and west.

Khan watched as the "Scorpion" like creatures exploded one after another..."Two down....Another" before TK could finish off the rest the walls had started to catch fire throwing off his tracking sensor in the gun. The immense heat caused the entire squad to involuntarily retreat further into the darkness. Khan kept to the rear, ready and willing the open fire on anything that moved, he wouldn't take the same chance he had before with the Grow.

At this point there was no telling which way was up. Tarik wanted to go back the way they came they were already outnumbered once. They had done what they set out to do. Recon the tunnel and return to the surface. He wouldn't argue the point with the LT. If these were indeed the same creatures he had delt with before he would be the only one knowledgeable enough to assess the situation, but it didn't take an Officer to know they were digging their way out of a hole.
