Sirens blared out into the night as a figure dashed along the corridor. It piled head-first into a guard, knocking him down before proceeding to shriek into the air. Grasping his neck firmly, it snapped with a horrifying crunch as more guards surrounded it. The scientist ran through, yelling frantically.

"How did he get free?"

The beast struck out and swiped at a guard, sending him flying. A gunshot blasted against his body. The bullet penetrated his arm but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever, it just caused more rage to build.

"Must've been that priest. I don't know why the hell he was authorised clearance."

The scientist snarled as he ran back towards his lab. As he did the beast turned and gave chase despite the rain of gunfire that was now blasting against his body. He tackled the screaming scientist and tore off one of his arms. Trying to escape, cowering, the best held him aloft and stared down the men with guns.

They held their fire as he flung the scientist into the crowd and leaped into action.

Diving down the corridor he ran past the medical bay door and turned a corner. There was a pile of old crates stacked against a door. With all his force, the beast smashed hard, shattering and splintering the wood in all directions. A security door was hidden behind the remains. He booted it and dived through as the door snapped against his force.

It led into a long, covered outdoor tunnel. Guards in the towers aimed with sniper rifle sights locked firmly onto Kristoff. He reached overhead and grabbed a metal pipe, snapping it from the roof which he used to bash against a metal panel overhead. The panel came free with the sheer force and he lifted it upright. Using it as a shield he ran along the corridor, blocking out all of the bullets that rained down upon him.

Finally he reached the gate at the end, broke through and ran through the forest clearing. A platoon of armed guards flanked him on all sides but he didn't stop running. The guards leaped out of the way as he barged through. Snarling with a rage the commander yelled out.

"Hunt him down!"

The guards saluted and gave chase on foot but the figure was moving at phenomenal speed and dodging through the trees before locating a cave. It charged through into the darkness. Safety for now...

A shrieking and roaring noise filled the air. Helios braced himself as the thunderous sound of powerful footsteps moved through the corridor. He shuddered and turned back to face the group.

"It's now or never. Move out!" He yelled. Roth opened the door and charged through with Waka, Vernon and Rob in tow. The others moved behind them as they turned a corner from the medical bay.

Curtis looked around with a puzzled expression.

"Was that turning there before? I thought this was a dead end..."

Roth looked back with a frown. "It's always been there." He said authoritatively. Curtis turned to the others and shrugged. It'd been a busy few days. It was easy to forget details.

The corridor ended by a security door which Roth opened. Shattered remains of crates lay around it. He stepped out beyond into a covered outdoor tunnel which was flanked by another two guard towers. At the end of the tunnel, a gate was sealed.

Roth turned to face the group. "It only opens from the inside. You need to shut this door immediately. We'll be back soon if we make it..." He said.

"Good luck in there..."

The group nodded as the three figures dashed along the outdoor tunnel. The door slammed shut behind them. The darkness seemed to seep under it.

The assembled group stood behind the door and gave sheepish looks. It was now or never. They charged down the corridor and past the medical bay where the figure was storming around, it gave out an unholy shriek as they moved past.

Running back to the cargo bay, they held their position as it came on the approach. Helios stepped out of the shadows and leaped in front of it.

"Come on big guy! You want a piece of this?" He yelled towards the monstrous figure of Kristoff. It shrieked and roared out towards him as it gave chase. He charged around the bay, with the figure in tow. The others held their position in hiding.

Reaching the entry-way to the corridor, Helios began to dash. This was too easy. He readied himself and....

"Shit!" He yelled out as he slipped over on the floor, sending himself toppling down. The group watched transfixed at the horror of the spectacle in front.

Kristoff grabbed his hand with a snarl as Helios screamed. Trying to crawl away in desperation, he struggled as the beast snorted and twisted with a gruesome snapping noise. Helios looked down at the stump of his arm, where his hand had once been.

"....Motherfucker." He said as Kristoff picked him up and hurled him into a metal wall.

Bloodied and still, Helios lay. He didn't get back up again.

The beast turned towards the shadows where the group were hiding. Ari looked around nervously before yelling "Run!"

They took flight and dashed behind masses of cargo that gave the bay a maze-like quality. Looking around to make sure everybody was accounted for, Natalie queried the missing person.

"Where's drr?" She asked nervously.

Still sitting in the shadow, rather dazed by recent events and not up to running much, drr looked on in a trance as the beast charged towards her. Hoisting her up into the air, he swung.

Her body arced into sickening view for the hiding group as it smashed against another wall and slid to the ground, falling as it did into an open grate on the ground. There was no thud or splashing noise. That thing must've been deep.

The remaining group looked at one another nervously. Things were not looking good. They had to make a go at this bait and run strategy or they were all done for. There was a creaking noise nearby behind another crate. ff_zero snuck over and glanced to see what was there. As he did Bryce jumped back in shock.

"Oh...it's just you guys. What are you doing here =P? " He asked curiously.

Objectives:
To bait and run Kristoff into the armoury, the group must each post to run towards a player. This is done by posting ##Run: Player name. This must be done publicly in this thread. Once a player has been run towards, that player must run towards somebody else.

Whoever has the last target in the thread will be the bait for the armoury.

So Bryce is back, but Drrr and Helios were killed? :o

Helios gurgled in the distance. The group turned to face him as he crawled upright. Sneaking away into the shadows, he circled around to join them. He was a little shaken, but otherwise seemed to be okay. He shuddered as he looked down at his handless arm with a slight sadness.

"That was a bit...unpleasant." He said.

Sorry I couldn't post last phase, I was silenced

:|

This looks familiar

*pulls out whip*

oh yeah kristoff....GARBAGE DAY :face:

Dear Kristoff,

SUCK MY DICK.

Love,
Helios

##run: natalie

Yeah, Vernon didn't post in the armory thread when I was trying to make conversation, all to find all the items were taken and he locked me in there for a phase...

I was just trying to swing ideas but he posted all his actions in his journal.

By the way...he has a gun and a medkit....if there's a way to get him off of those I'd appreciate it.

Welcome back Bryce. How are you feeling?

And where did Vernon get the gun and medkit?

I'm fine...I was hoping the voyage would last more than a phase.

We went to the armory when we went right. There was a medkit, rifle and something else sitting on the shelf...probably armor, I seriously can't remember.

I went to get them but I didn't come on until the morning after phase update...Vernon never posted anything so I figured he didn't log on...I didn't expect him to log on anyways, but alas he did and he took all the supplies AND locked me in the room for a phase.

*really far fetched, but it is the name of the game, maybe Kristoff will listed?*



##Use blood from floor to write on walls: "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

Wait...so why are Rob and Waka separated?
