Mutant

Thirty-Two

The alleyway began to turn green this time. Not dark. And Arch found the green light to be more eerie than the darkness.

He hastily turned a right corner in the alleyway, only to find five Zaragosts waiting for him hungrily.

"The boys coming closer," one of them slurred.

"The boss must not know." Said another.

One of the Zaragost drew out a colossal pistol looking machine and aimed. The large bullet shot at Arch but it narrowly missed by a hair streak.

The Zaragost aimed again. This time it wouldn't miss.

The bullet instantly shot at Arch, but then Arch stopped it when he held out his hands. His eyes were closed though, he didn't know if it had worked. But it did. The bullet had stopped its pivot in mid motion. Arch enclosed his hands and swiped it to his right.
This made the bullet turn around and zoom towards the group of aliens.
The bullet had exploded, knocking nearly all the aliens in all parts of the alleyway.

Nearly.

One of them had survived though. It was standing strictly and grinning up at Arch.

"Come at me asshole," Arch seethed, now regaining his courage. But when he blinked, the alien was gone.

"Where d-"

SMACK!!!!

The cold edgy hands of the Zaragost hit him right across the face. Arch fell back like a tossed bean. He hit the hard slimy ground of the alleyway and felt no use of standing up. He was doomed.

The Zaragost alien stood glowering down on him. It drew out a pistol and pointed.

"Bye bye boy!" The alien slurred.

Arch closed his eyes. A click-click could be heard from the gun and then..

GRAAOARR!!!!!

The alien was pounced on with heavy impact, instantly dropping its gun and banging head on to the ground.

Arch opened his eyes. He was still alive, but how?

Trembling with weakness, Arch stood up and tried to examine the situation.

The alien that was just about to shoot him was now lying on the ground with green goo pouring down from its torn head. And standing beside the alien was a dark furred creature. A wolf.

"What's up Archie," the wolf gruffed as it slurped down an eyeball.

"Damich? What are you doing here?"

The wolf didn't reply because all it could say was "Look out!!"

It quickly sprinted and then tackled another alien that creeped up behind Arch. They continued to tackle, but it didn't show like there would be a fair winner.

"Go on without me!" The wolf growled.

Arch hesitated.

"Go!!"

Arch quickly ran ahead, leaving the wolf to ramble on.

Now there was no other choice left, he had to find Ellie. Because next time, no one will be saving him.
