Character / pov

We ran.

Almost to the edge of the island.

The sun had already risen and I didn't want to run anymore.

But I had to.

The lizard thing was definitely searching for us if it wasn't busy with Kong that is.

Maybe Kong killed it.

Yeah that it is it be optimistic.

James told Mason to go to the top of the mountain and signal the boat with their flare gun.

That they got from wherever, how long have they even had that.

Did they pick it up somewhere? Maybe.

She leaves us, briefly hugging me before she ran towards the mountain.

We too started running again to wherever it is Conrad was leading us, probably the boat.

Cole stops and we turn back to look at him, he had dropped his gun and was hold the Grenade ready to pull the pin.

I realise what he was doing and my eyes widen.

Mills tries to stop him from doing it, but we pulled him back and Cole pulls the safety pin holding down the safety lever and turning to face the crawler that was fast approaching.

He let's go of the safety lever.

It hits Cole aside and he crashes into the side of a mountain, which promptly blows up.

We continue running in the water,  as it advances on us.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, we're gonna die.

It's not far from us when it was smashed in to the ground.

Kong had jumped on it.

But it didn't seem fazed it just got up and turned to King and they both got ready to start fighting.

A flare goes of in the distance from the mountain James had told Mason to go to earlier, we all stop running once where a decent distance away and turn to look at them fight.

Kong grabs a tree to use as a bat, he swipes his hand over it and all the branches snap leaving a clear but 'sharp' stick.

The thing on the other hand was snarling at Kong sticking its freakishly tongue out.

The two run towards each other and Kong hits it square in the face.

Like one would hit a Baseball or a tennis ball, maybe even golf.

The tree broke from the force of force of the swing, baseball then, but the thing gets up quick.

It latches its tail around Kong, slithering around like a snake, it does some weird thing, resulting in Kong being thrown quiet a distance.

He lands in an old boat place and the chains had wrapped around him, preventing him from getting up.

The crawler, that was now very close to Kong with out him being able to do anything, looms over him, pushing him down with one of its giant claws.

It's about to bite Kong before it gets shot at by bullets.

We turn to see the point of origin and see the two scientists on the boat, coming towards us.

The guy's shooting at the crawler and the girl steering the ship.

"Come on, let's go," says James grabbing my hand and he starts running to the ship the others following.

We run as best we can thru the water, I'm going to have the best sleep of my life when this is over.

We start getting on the boat James and I helping them up.

Suddenly the gun jams and the guy shooting curses, trying to fix it.

Hank goes over there to unjam it or whatever, while we watch as the crawler comes closer to us.

I see Kong try to get up from the boat, but he's still stuck and won't make it in time.

"Could you hurry up, please," I say to Hank.

"Don't rush me," he says, as he fixes it or whatever.

Kong roars loudly as the crawler comes closer, "I said please," I say anxious.

A flare plants itself in its head and explodes, making it roar in pain and distracting it from us and momentarily disorienting it.

The flare had come from the mountain that Mason was on.

"Clear," shouts hank, making me focus, the others reply the same.

They start shooting at the crawler again, it doesn't seem to be damaging or injuring it at all.

It only seems more Irritated.

"Come on you bastard," I hear from my left, from a voice I have come to recognise, since I focus on it to much.

I turn and see James running somewhere, away from the boat might I add, and the crawler turning to follow him.

The crawler begins to follow him, but a rudder plants itself in its side, making the crawler roar in pain.

The rudder was attached to a chain and that chain held by Kong.

Kong pulls it back towards himself and we watch as he fights, this time having the upper hand with the rudder.

He throws it into a mountain which just so happens to be the mountain Mason was on, she screams.

I unfurl my wings as I see her fall.

I go fast nearly hitting the mountain,with my speed after catching her.

Turning around, I go back to the boat, or at least a bit further from the fight.

Which wasn't very far from us.

I spot the tail of the crawler heading to us and make a split second decision.

I throw weaver in the water and try to dodge the tail, thinking I was faster then I actually was.

Safe to say I did not dodge it.

It hit me.

And I fell into the water unconscious.
