"That's one huge alien...", Carmen stated in surprise. "The general wants us to kill THIS!?", John asked. "Hold on, why doesn't it attack us?", Bryan looked confused. "Maybe it is waiting for us to do the first move?", Marc theorized.

The alien is huge. Huge, I say. It's height is half the big hall.  It is a bipedal, with arms which, if the adjective fits even if they are aliens, are muscular. It has a big red eye at it's face. Its fingers are tentacles. And on its chest is another eye. We are convinced it is a weak spot.

"Ok, if we are to finish this, we should make a move!" I readily exclaimed. They nodded and drew their guns. I took my favorite desert eagle. Don't question my weapon choice because of how intimidating the enemy looks. At the same time we drew our weapons, it crouched a little. Is it a battle stance? I think so.

"FIRE AT ITS CHEST!", Marc commanded. We all shot at the monster. It shielded itself with its arms and charged towards us. Ow... We all got knocked back. That was a hard blow. It then returned to where we first saw it. It looks like it's challenging us to defeat it. Well, yeah, we would.

I took another second to inspect the monster... Eh? Two blue gem-like things are sticking out from each shoulder. It looks like another weak spot. How do I know? When I was a kid, I was someone who spent 12 hours for gaming. Boy, those were good days!

I whispered to the troop, "Those gems on its shoulders look like a weak spot.". "And how would it help?", John asked curiously. "Didn't it just protect itself with it's arms?", I countered his question. "Oh, I get your point.", Bryan is as swift as always.
"Alright. I'll aim now because I'm itching for credit.", Carmen said.

Carmen aimed her two Berettas at the left gem, and shot it with the guns. The monster looks worried. "I think it's working." Marc said. We then helped Carmen shoot at the gem. After a few volleys, the arm detached! The arm then dissolved into green liquid.

"It worked!", I was happy that my idea worked. We then put another few rounds on the other gem. The same happened. The alien is roaring. It is so loud, my ears hurt.

"Fire at the chest!", Marc commanded once again. We all aimed, but it charged at us again. It sent us flying to the other side of the room. My face feels hurt. The alien is now running around the room. It looks heading for our direction. "Run around the room!", Bryan ordered. "Why?", I asked. "There's no time, do it!".

We all ran like crazy. "Shoot while running!", Carmen said while trying to run very fast. I aimed my Desert Eagle at the monster that's chasing us. I managed to put a few rounds on it. Its running slowed down every time I managed to put a round. "Uhh, I need to reload. Can anyone else shoot?", I asked in a hurry. Marc replied, "I can!". He then happily planted bullets onto its chest. His ammo ran out, too. But now the monster looks infuriated. Bryan put a few more shots with his sniper, without using his scope. Then the eye dissolved into liquid. What now?

The monster went quicker until it is in front of us, and wiped us by bashing onto us. It then did another charge. Ugh, it's painful. We were all weak. The alien then regenerated it's arms, and it gathered force onto its arms, to give us the finishing move...

Just when we thought it was over, a grenade went flying into the opening of the monster. "Guys, stand up and run!", John had enough strength to toss a grenade and stand up. We gathered the remaining energy in our bodies into our feet and ran as fast as we can away from the alien. It then exploded into green smithereens.

"What a battle that was...", I said while I was catching my breath. "Ahh, I smell credits", Carmen joked. We all managed to laugh even after the experience. "Well, that clears today's mission." Marc stated. "Let's go back to camp." , John insisted. "Yeah, we need rest.", Bryan added. We marched outside the building, and to our jeep. We started heading home. What a day this was.
