Suddenly a man besides me disappears in a flash of black smoke, I look around, trying not to make a fuss. I look around and notice a big ball of smoke emerge behind us.
I scream at the realisation of what's happening, "WRAITH ON BOARD!"
A massive light grey monster with purple ragged wings and a slimy surface now stands in the cruiser, with a terrified man in its hand. Bucket stepped out of the crowd and his arms transformed into rocket launchers with a single grinding sound.
"Get ready, things are about to get real."
Multiple bullets and rockets strike the Wraith. I crouch down and get out my armour piercing gun, as if the Wraith knew what I was doing it lunged at me and swiped at me but I jumped back just in time, my armour piercer wasn't so lucky. Hank steps forward with his chain gun and defends me. The Wraith screams in pain and scratches him across the face, blood pours out. My friend Maggie steps forward and covers me while I drag him back to cover.
"Heal him God dammit!" She shoots a Shoot-gun shell in between each word. I get out my heal Ray.
"Maggie, Traps, NOW!" I say trying to find my ray.
She sprints around the monster, placing her harpoon traps. The Wraith grabbed me while I was off guard. I squirm to try to get free. But it's force is too strong. I fear that if it teleports I will be lost for ever.
"Help!" I look around and no ones firing, then I notice Makrov, running up with his electrical blaster. The Wraith was just about to teleport when it was fried, about the same time I was fried too.
"Val! Crap, Val wake up!"
I open my eyes a second and see Hank and Makrov standing over me.
"Next time get me out of its hands before you fry it." I say feeling dizzy and hurt.
"Don't you think it's weird they only sent one Wraith?" Asks Maggie.
"Probably just rouge." Says Bucket.
I think for a while, "or... It was a distraction."
