Tremors: Generations

Chapter 1

      Hot Dunes in a summer day boiling at 105 degrees a town in the desert scarce of water this time around.
A man of climbing a telephone pole fixing it is working almost drops his tool box. "Woah shit, oh thank got I got it," he spoke. A police officer came out over watch checking he doesn't break anything checking time to time on town cell service tower. About an hour of fixing it sweating he comes climbing down. "Okay it's fixed every phone in town should be working just fine now." The guy says. He goes to his truck putting his tool box in the trunk and gets in his truck. The truck not working doesn't start as the battery of it ran dry of battery. "Hey Officer Clare can you help me get my truck up and running the battery just died?" He asks. She takes out her gloves and  jumper cables out. She talks to him. "So I heard your planning on leaving tomorrow afternoon heading out to see the world." She spoke. "Yeah I just seem to be tired of the desert you know I mean Solace is great and all but don't you ever want to see Hawaii and go whale sighting or see Japan." He says. "Well you have big dreams don't you." She responds back to him. "Well it's either dream big or go home and I'd rather dream big." As after attaching the jumper cables to car battery to car battery and she charges it up giving his truck some battery. It then makes a engine running sound showing the truck is working again. She stops the charge and takes off the cables taking them back and they drive back into town.

A welcome sign holds on the left side of the road, and it reads:
Solace, NV
Population 30
Founded 1879

      Right side a motel and on the mirrored right side is a bank.
Next to the bank a saloon and on the other side of the road a general store as the next building was the police station on the next block. Officer Clarice drives back to station and the handyman drives home for afternoon 45-minute lunch break. Getting out of his truck turning it off. He walked to his RV door seeing his father on a chair with bottles empty around him and a pizza slice on his chest. The RV cold dark and damp barely holding he feels disgusted he has to still live in this and opening the door sees a disgusting display of his father. "Disgusting, dad you know I have been pulling around most of the work lately, right? I mean I'm not only trying to get money for myself and trying to help you like I should, but I am getting paid to pick up the trash and fix the cell service of this town while you're here drinking away the money I earn. Being honest I don't think I can last another week not even a day here in Solace anymore. Dad I'm moving out."  He said. No response. "Dad?" He spoke asking if he the father even heard what his son said. "Huh, oh right, right, whatever you say Nickolas just let me think about it." he said. Nick seeing his dad in condition is the worst thing he could see, and he showed a humble face to him. He gasps with sorrow in thinking reminding himself why their struggling. "Listen I know it's been hard since mom's- passing but we just can't hold it with us we have to solve this together I'm here for you. I'll take you with me if you promise not to drink anymore." Nick said. "Thank you Nicky you're the best son a father like me could have." He said down to Nick. Nick covered his dad with a blanket tucking him in front of the playing TV he would turn off. Nick reached in for a drink and grabbing a soda finishing it making himself a sandwich he would then leave seeing his father sleeping as he heads out to work. As he pulled out a small device an MP3 playing music. as he would start listening to his songs. First one playing one he connects to. 
The words has sung as he drove would start to play, "Summer has come and past the innocent can never last wake me up when September end-" the song went until the radio went static as his truck shook a bit as something had occurred a tremor. "Huh we're not even on a fault line." Nick said. 

      The shaking stopped elsewhere in a mineshaft in a cave miners are mining for silver. One of them stops to take a break another keeps going as the one with the cart behind the two is pushing the cart as silver from the mining miners are put into the train cart. The man pushes it to the outside with it half full. "Well," Said the prospector of the mine. "There seems to be less then last mining session from last year sir" The cart pusher said. The prospector had to think for a moment as walking into the mineshaft. "We have been mining for about 2 months already as that is at least the most we could get just out of the time we've mined here." Said the cart pusher. "Well then, Everyone I have an announcement to make due to a silver shorting I am shutting the mine this will be your last day to collect any left over and have the pay for your shortcoming ends with the jobs you have now in this mine." He spoke. Everyone went ahead and collected their selves one piece knowing the scarcity of them it wasn't worth fighting for and collected it at calm pace one sliver of silver for each person working. Until they heard something. Something above all of them stopped. Lanterns in the mineshaft were moving and one fell hitting the ground dimming the place. then it stopped. The people looked around them. The last miner grabbed their own piece of silver looking around and not at what they grabbed grabbing something hard and solid but not a piece of silver he looked down to it and he spoke. "An egg?" The miners heard him and looked at it. "Huh, I wonder what it goes to?" One of the 7 of them said. One of them from behind got snatched under the ground unheard. then 6 left the other grabbed from above and sucked into the graboid's mouth the miners didn't even know unless they looked back. When the 4th one heard from behind the tongue went back in the ground. He screamed and with a flashlight shined it at what looked like an eyeless snake. "Oh my god!" Went one of the surviving four still in the mine. "What is that?" Another said. "I don't know but I don't want to find out." Said one of the four. "I agree let's get out of here." Said one looking and turning back seeing the egg hatched on the ground. "Uh, guys the egg is broken." He said. The others heard this and spoke, "Let's get the hell out of here" and they started running. What was in the egg darted out hitting one of them burrowing the person in the ground now three people left. A graboid circling the place then with tongues from under one of the miners were grabbed from the legs hard with its snatchers gripping hard into the skin where blood started to ooze out of him. The graboid brought him down knees in ground as the one left tried to pull him out successfully but had no legs the guy with bitten legs off crawled and the surviving miner with legs picked him up but the graboid grabbed the back of the injured guy and took him down under as the miner with legs tripped over the railroad for the cart and got up and out. The graboid followed as the Darter or baby version went after missing every shot the last surviving miner got an axe as soon as he exited and threw it like a boomerang hitting the Darter with a lucky shot killing it.

      "The hell are those things. What the hell are they?" The survivor said and asked himself. He looked around to see if anyone else were as lucky as him but no one on the ground he thought they must have been gotten too. "How am I gonna get out of here?" He questioned with a fright. The survivor remembered his phone and pulled it out. "Please let me have a bar", he said pulling it out. Seeing 2 he was saved and called the police to pick him up. Ringing the graboid came out of the mines and the tongues came out of the ground and the guy quickly ran onto a rock nearby and doing so the graboid shot its tongues out. "Hey Hi, police please help me I'm out at the mines and there's a monster here help me." He shouted through the phone making the deputy get blasted by it the deputy gave the pickup task to Officer Clare and she went out quickly getting in her car turning on the sirens and car and heading out to the mines. She sped for a mile out to the eastside hills and coming over to the mine site and she saw the beast trying to get the miner. "Clare OVER HERE!" He shouted. "Stay there, Mason." She said as she took out her Glock and took fire at the tongues not knowing that is not the main threat but shooting it off and telling Mason the surviving miner to get in the car as she started taking fire. As she started though it brought attention, and she ran into the car and started to drive off away from the mines. The graboid following from behind the car she driving as fast as possible the car got stuck by the graboid as it caught up and threw the car off the ground toppling it over. They were only so close to the city by a mile. "Don't move it'll leave if you don't move, probably." Said Mason. "How do you know?" Clare asked. "Trust me it followed my steps to the rock and the car I'm sure it's sound if we don't move we'll be okay." He said to her. They didn't move. The graboid coming circled and not hearing anything left the place. The two were crawling out and were spotted by someone. Seen by Nick he opened the door helping them up and bringing them in the truck taking them back into town. 
       Into the police station the other officer Mark came running and Deputy Calvin ran to the Clare and the miner seeing them hurt. "Clare what the heck happened?" Asked Calvin. "There was something out there some big thing. I don't know what it was. It lifted the car and we were stuck in the car for some time. Nick brought us in." Clare said. "You're lucky I was there coming up I was heading over to the warehouse for fire wood for Shaun." Nick spoke about his reason why he was out there. In the station there was callings and Deputy Calvin had brought up. "It ate the workers and there's more of them too." Spoke Mason. "Well then that might be the reason for the missing people but I can't have y'all running a mock with your little fantasy of an animal for the cause of these disappearances unless you can prove it to me." Calvin had to say to them how hard it is to believe that an animal was the cause. "It flipped the car over," Said Clare, "It ate my friends and the rest of the miners," exclaimed Mason. "Like I said I can't help and even if I were what do you want me to do tell the town and cause a panic. Even if it true we have to make it a prior mission to keep it unheard of the townsfolk and make these so called creatures either driven away or get rid of them." Said Calvin. Clare, Mason, the only witnesses and saving them Nick decides to tag along to see what's going on. "Come on if there is any place I may think of that might have answers it's somewhere not far from here. A place abandoned with one person looking after it. Quite interesting how it went down might give us some answers." Nick said. "Alright take us there." Spoken Clare. The three went in and the deputy said as they walked out of the station that if there is something out there to hurry as he is worried about the town as well. 
      The three of them Nick, Clare, and Mason are in the truck and on the road Nick drives them out. "The place I'm taking us to might have some answers I just hope the guy is still there." Nickolas said.
