Blood And Rain - The Creature

By Silver Knight




The world is in full of darkness, creatures roam the streets, only the fittest and brave survive, four people are trapped inside a coffee shop for several days, a intelligent creature appears, battering the door, all in army uniform, drool dripping from his fangs, he smashes the glass door and heads around to the next door, then, a troop truck arrives, two of them, unloading soldiers, the creatures backs off and climbs the walls of the city, the men run to where he was, they order the four people to get out, it isn't safe.

The troops mount up, and follow the creature, the screams from him give his position away, they end up coming to a tall warehouse like building, theres several creatures surrounding the doors, and the marines take them out swiftly, then, they proceed to the entrance, covering each others backs, 4 scientists in biohazard suits come out, carring a box with a nuclear symbol, 4 men wait outside to make sure it's secure, they stand on top of the trucks, the other creatures may not be smart, but they are strong and fast, and can easily overwhelm someone on the ground, even better if they are in numbers.

They are inside, and shut the doors, it's fairly dark and damp in here, but the warehouse has a big building built onto it, going straight up, a tower block. They proceed past the shelves, the abandonded boxes, stuff from the old world, of captialism. A soldier runs up to the door to the tower, another proceeds to kick it in, and they storm the tower floor, killing 4 creatures, the rest of the men and women following up the stairs, the lead man doesn't notice the creature on the ceiling, before it's too late, it drops down, rips at his flesh, he screams, the gun falls behind him and tumbles down the stairs, the creature tears his throat and slices into his guts, the other soldiers on the stairs fire, and the creature falls silent.

They proceed to the 2nd floor of the tower swiftly, stepping over the body of there fallen conrade, there is no time for sorrow, this head creature must be stopped... As they go up the tower, the light gets brighter, so bright that the marines have to cover there eyes with special glasses, they are now on the 5th level, they notice blood on the floor, endless blood, no corpses, just blood, they slowly walk accross it, and man slips, he yelps, and marine quickly puts his hand over the mans mouth, and pulls him up, covered in blood the man is shocked, gazing at himself and then staring into space, the man who helped him up, pats him on the sholder, and points to the stairs.

On the next floor, the stepps have turned into ledges, from big to small, it's a long way down bellow, one false move on them, and your a done for. The scream happens again, the marines hold their ears, it penetrates them, causing some marines to drop there weapons, and fall to the ground, a woman falls to far, and falls down the pit, blood rushing from her nose and ears as she waves her hands in the air. The scream stops, and a wall caves in from above, five creatures dive out, fangs bearing, and rip through two marines instantly, the other marines fire, taking out two, but the other 3 keep coming, another marine gets beheaded, a clean swipe to the face, and a scientist gets pushed off the edge, the creature with him, it tears at his suit, he takes his pistol, and shots the creature first, and then goes to kill himself, and he disappears from sight.

They try and make there way along the ledge quicker, but thats hard when it's so thin and unstable, they get to the point where they can launch rops into the ceiling, to swing across to a door with a control pad, they attach the ropes with a few tries, and swing across, the scientists, attach the box they were carring, and swing it along, the rope snaps in one place, the men yell in terror, the box... A marine attaches another rope to the ceiling, and dives after the box, and attaches it, but then, he slips and falls, he manages to get one hand on the box, and holds on for dear life, a marine with a scar across his face nods at the woman with her rifle raises, he long brown hair blowing from the generator fans above, she fires, a clean bullet, it hits the man and he falls off, the box slides to the other end, and the 3 scientists already across pull it up.

The rest of the marines wait for the signal from the scared man "Captain, orders?" the captain strokes his chin for a second, and throws off his glasses into the pit, he signals the marines closest to the door to breach it, the follow his orders and storm out, they are on the roof, it's raining, 10 creatures charge at them, whining, moaning and screaming. One with huge pincer like claws launches some blades from his four hands, they take our the 4 breaching marines instantly, a marine behind one of the breachers gets the pincer straight throught his body, and both of them get pinned to the wall. another marine rolls out the way, and takes a rpg off his back and launches it at the pincer creature, which is growing them back slowly, the rocket edges past oncoming creatures and blows up the creature, brown blood and gore goes everywhere, it leaves a huge crater in the floor, the rain slowly washes the blood down into the crater, bits of guts fly over the marines, but they hold firm. The marines left in front, fight away at the oncoming creatures, they are quickly dispatched, apart from one, with a huge armoured like body, which keeps coming, they throw sticky nades at it, 3 hit, 2 miss,and it takes away most of the shell, leaving the soft tender green goo undeneath it, the creature howls as the bullets penetrate it's skin, and it falls silent.

The marines surge there way forward, with the front creatures dispatched, they walk around the crater, only to hear cries of pain, and 2 more creatures climb out of the crater, a girl steps forward lowering her weapon, "amy? is that you, i saw you die a..." the creature comes up to the woman marine, and hugs her, the woman screams in pain as the creature devours her flesh with her body, the marines body is full of billions of teeth, the rest of the marines fire into the two creatures before any more damage can be done.

They proceed along to a high rised platform, once used for a chopper, but now, for the creature, skulls litter the path to the platform, and there the creature stands, a tall human like man, in a ripped and shredded suit, he bears a medal, he stares off into the distance, the rain washing down his blood stained face, he has several cracks around his body, blood oozes from the cracks, dripping down his body onto the floor. The marines approach and wait for the scarred captain to give them orders, he points to two marines and orders them up the ramp, "secure him".

They walk up the ramp, guns raised, "sir, come with us" The tall human like creature snarls at them, and then laughs, he says in a raspy voice "ive been waiting, his fingers extent and pull the closest marine to him, a woman, she cannot move, she tries firing the gun, and he melts it into her flesh, she sceams, "this won't hurt a bit my dear" and he licks her neck, she's crying tears running down her face and join the rain. "he uses his other hand and rips her head open, and devours her brain, guts spill out onto the floor, and he tosses her corpse off the edge, momments later a thud on the floor. The other marine stares in disbelief, he drops his gun, his hands shaking. The creature stares at him, a deep gaze, straight into the mans eyes, into his heart, into his soul, the mans insides inplode, he holds his chest, and falls to the ground, with his last ounce of breath he whispers "Commander...."

The scientists have opened the box, and took out a laser slowly they beguin to put it together, piece by piece, the creature gazes at the scarred man, "So Captain, whats it going to be" the creature licks his lips full of blood, with a huge blue tongue, wiping off the womans blood, he then brushes off his tattored military uniform and straightens his medals. He points a finger at one of the scientists, and moves his finger downwards, he splits in two, blood sprays into the air, his flesh slides down his flesh slides down whats left of him, and then he hits the ground, the suit only just covering whats left of his body. 3 Marines at the front fire at the creature, some hit the creature, and penetrate him, but he simply giggles "That tickles, stop it" then the creature does a huge evil grin, and the bullets the marines are firing fly back into them the men behind duck, but another marine takes it, blood sprays from the wounds, the men fall the floor. "You bastard" the man with the rpg fires, launching the rocket at the creature. The rocket hits the creature, it yelps in suprise, smoke appears all around, the marines gaze eagily, the man with the rpg, lowers his weapon slightly

The smoke clears, the creature stands there, the suit is missing from his left side, burnt black flesh now covers that side. The creature braces his teeth, the rocketeer shakingly tries to reload, the creature raises a arm, pulls the man into the air, he screams, tries to fire his rpg, but the rocket simply explodes in mid air, guts, blood and smoke fill the air, part of the mans corpse hits the ground, the woman with long brown hair vomits and the blood pours over her. Only 7 Marines are left, and 3 scientists, the scientists have built the laser and fire it into the creature, it cuts away at it's flesh, the creature screams , opens it's huge black wings, and attempts to fly off, the laser following it into the sky, the men fire away, the laser catches up with the creature, and puts a huge hole in it's tail, the tail falls off and the creature continues to fly. The captain throws down his bolter, stamps the ground, dammit !
