           Alana shot the creature. As soon as the other soldiers heard the gunfire, they, too, began to shoot at it. The humanoid moved too volant. It was able to dodge the bullets fired by the soldiers. Finally, Captain Fernando was able to land a shot through its neck. It caught the creature's attention. It groaned in pain until it looked Fernando straight in the eye. It was no longer messing with the soldiers. Its eye glowed more carmine. As Captain Fernando reloaded his pistol, the creature pranced at him. It was about to attack the captain until Lewis punched it with the enhanced suit. He was thrown into multiple brick walls before it stopped itself using its sharp claws.

          The creature had stood up and said, "Si, si, strong fists."

          The crew was perplexed; they realized it had been a man, and there were no other creatures but him. It tricked them. The short silence was loud. I had pointed its finger at Captain Fernando before he was thrown into a wall by an invisible force, heavily injuring his left eye and breaking his arm. The creature manically laughed since he harmed an old man without touching him. Suddenly, Captain Fernando saw one of his memories of his father - a pirate - leaving him for a journey out in the seas. Then, his vision went black.

          The soldiers attacked the creature once again. But, instead of fleeing, it pounced on the crew. It blinded each of them by scratching their eyes with its claws. It kicked one of them into a wall, burying the poor soldier in heavy slabs and fatally crushing their skull. One tried to escape it by running back to GEA, but the man punched a hole through his stomach. Alana reported the situation to Donna. The colonel was about to send an emergency warning to the base, but a bolt of powerful lightning struck GEA. The powerful lightning caused all communication systems to jam and malfunction. It also damaged the rear wings of the aircraft. Jones and Donna panicked. But they didn't know they successfully sent the message.
