Legend Killer

The Phantom of Flatwoods

[[West Virginia, 1952]]

The town of Flatwoods, West Virginia was peaceful. Especially now that the evening was approaching. Even with nightfall, this didn't stop children from playing their games outside their house.

However, this peace would not last long as a Bright, 8 meter aircraft flashed through the evening sky, after having broke through the atmosphere, and crashed down deep within the woods.

Not long after landing, The glowing aircraft soon started to crack and break apart as a long, slimy being slithered out of it.

It squirmed and wiggled until its tail split into 4 armored metal legs, allowing it to rise up to it's full height of 10'. Then a metal "skirt" morphed into existence around its legs.

Within seconds, its Ace of Spades-like hood split open to reveal an orange, mouthless head with 6 holes surrounding the area where the mouth should be. It possessed Shiny blue eyes with W-shaped pupils and an intense gaze. The hood straightened into a cowl behind its head with green tubes connecting it to the neck.

Surrounding its eyes and going down the sides of its head was rosette-marked fur that was still glistening from the slime. The flesh on its face glistened like fish scales in the moonlight.

Two muscular arms covered in grayish fur and metal parts stretched out from its muscular humanoid body. It had some cybernetic parts on the wide chest and ribcage that glowed blue in the dark woods.

Its sizable hands each had 4 digits and a swirling design branded on its palms. On it's back was a metal backpack-like device with a single latch on the top.

The alien turned it's head both directions, scanning it's surroundings, left and right and swirled it's head 360° to see behind it.

Once it finished it's recon, it took one step forward before hearing the voices of humans not too far away. From the sounds of it, it seemed there were multiple individuals.

The alien could point out a Raspy, male voice. And 5 younger sounding voices as well as a feminine voice among them.

Just then, the holes on his face sniffed the air and........ picked a more bestial smell. Also not too far away. Whatever it is, it's big.

Following the bestial smell towards a small riverbank, he was just about to cross when, in the corner of his eye, he spots something white moving up a hill at a hurried pace.

The air was then filled with the terrified chatter of the humans. Whatever he saw must be after them.

With a fiery determination in his eyes, the alien bolted for the white beast, it's four legs running as fast as it can towards it. The holes of the alien's face began to glow a distinct bluish color as He chased after the beast that ran upright like a charging human.

When suddenly

The beast jumped to the left of a few thick trees and vanished. Leaving the Creature completely dumbfounded.

He let out a low, creeky, growl as He slowly took small steps around to locate the white beast, when the sounds of feet came right from behind him.
