Game on

Level 13: A Change In Scenery.

Approaching the Queen, I felt my heart pounding,trying not to draw attention to myself. "Keep to her left a bit." Victor whispered in my ear, directing my attention to a large switch at the base of the Queen's stand. Tip toeing around the massive foot, I managed to get by, just as the Queen let out a massive hiss. "She doesn't like you, does she?" He said, eyeing that tail with unease. "Shut up,and watch her." I snapped, reaching for the lever. Pulling it down, I received a small shock,but earned the sound of power humming nearby. "One down, two to go." I said, urging Victor to move. As we snuck around the back, I heard a small hiss, and saw out of the corner of my eye movement. Pushing Victor forwards, I leapt back as a Xenomorph lunged at me, hissing. Pulling out my flamethrower, I lit the creature up, causing its skin to bubble, and it to cry out in pain, causing the queen to struggle against her restraints. "Switch two is on line!" Victor called, dodging the flailing claws of the Dying Xeno. "Where's the last one?" I asked. "Up front. Bad news is, while Big mama here is all riled up, we can't get close enough without being made into kid kebabs. It would be suicide to go!" Victor said, glaring at me. Rolling my eyes, I, and slipped my hand into my back pocket, pulling out Ivan's explosive device. "I could slip this in her mouth, and get out before she bites my arm off." I said, trying to not let Victor see my shaking hands.

Damn it.. why did it have to be me to get pulled into this mess?

Watching Victor run to the front, I stuck the IED into my pocket,and started to climb the Queen, shaking as I slipped every now and then from her back. "Hey, you oversized termite! Over here!" Victor yelled, firing his gun at the Queen, but doing nothing more than pissing her off, and nearly killing me. I wanted to yell at him, but I bit my lip, knowing one sound would doom us all. Watching Victor dive around, and flipping the switch, I managed to climb onto the right shoulder of the Queen, and was engulfed by the pungent smell of death.

Damn. PETA would have a field day with this things living conditions..

Flipping a switch on the Molotov Hangover, I whistled,making the Queen's massive head to turn, stopping a inch away from my body. "Baby, jeez!" I cracked, waving a hand in front of my face. "You're pretty and all, but god damn! That breath just won't do!" The Queen hissed, slowly opening her mouth. "Here! Freshen up, why don't you?" I said, pushing a button, throwing it into the gaping maw, and sliding back down her back, hitting the ground running. I had made it half way to the others,when the Queen's giant tail took my legs out, making me roll three feet before stopping. Looking up, I saw the tail poised up, ready to strike. Rolling to the side as she struck, I sprang to my feet. "Light her up!" I yelled,diving towards them. Ivan pounded a button on the panel, and we were engulfed by bright, white light, as the Queen screamed, the explosive and electricity mixed,causing a large explosion.

Light... Darkness... Screams.... Laughter...

Where was I?

I felt my body being picked up,and my arms going over shoulders. I heard somebody shouting something, but it sounded like they were stuck in a bowl. I shook my head to clear it, and looked around. "Quinton... I think this is it. What you wanted." Ivan said from my right. Squinting, I noticed that everything seemed blurry...No.. not blurry...

Pixelated?

"Where are we?" I asked groggily, staring at the massive pixelated mansion before me. "I think... I think that's where Glitch lives." Victor said, easing me to my feet from off his shoulder. I stood there for a moment, regaining my balance, then walked forwards. "And that's where Tyson is." I growled, feeling a sense of eagerness fill me. "Let's get this guy. Once and for all. For Tyson... and for all gamers." Ivan and Victor into step beside me, faces drawn down into faces of cold hate. "For the Gamers." They intoned, eyes set on the mansion.
