Melonheads

The night streets of Topeka were filled with a variety of sounds.

Screams, screeches, snarls, flesh getting slashed, punches hitting their Marks, tiny growls, biting and light barking.

What a noisy night.

Melonheaded humans surrounded the Flatwoods monster as he ran down the streets, slashing the heads off any that got too close while holding the small dog in his hand, who's barking nonstop.

Two of them lunged at Him before he backhanded them away. Ace screeched furiously as he leapt on the side of a building, using his claws to stick onto the brick wall.

He watched as the melonheads all crowded around the wall, trying to reach him.

Ace sighed in frustration. This has been going on all night. The second he killed the albino woman, these creatures ambushed him. And have been seemingly endless.

Ace threw the puppy onto the roof and swung himself onto the roof right after.

The puppy barked aggressively at the crowding Melonheads, its little teeth bared.

Thinking quickly, Ace tries to come up with a solution to wipe them out. Lower the numbers.

Then it hit him.

The Flatwoods monster pointed his hand at the growing crowd of Melonheads as his palm began to glow with radiant colors.

His eyes briefly flashed yellow as he unleashed a Neon blast from his hand that decimated most of the Melonheads below.

The puppy bounced around enthusiastically after witnessing the Neon Blast. Ace pulled his hand back as the once expansive crowd has dwindled down to 5 or 9.

With alot of broken, burned bodies scattered around the street.

The surviving Melonheads all ran away from the scene and back into the woods. Ace screeched at the retreating Melonheads as they disappeared into the dark woods.

With that done. Ace grunted in pride as he turned and headed for the ledge, ready to leap into the next building. What stopped him, however, was the puppy's barking.

Sighing frustratedly, Ace grabs the puppy and leaps onto the rooftops of the buildings before landing on the edge of town.

The sound of Crushing paper alerted Ace to the bottom of his front right leg. He plucked it from under his foot, albeit tearing it up, and brought it to his face.

On the paper, was a half torn picture of a disemboweled creature with goat features. He couldn't read any of the writing though but he recognized those woods. He passed by them while on the way to Topeka.

But the picture was strange though. What did that to the creature? This wasn't Ace's handiwork but it comes close.

Whatever did it must be dangerous. Very dangerous.

Ace grinned at the thought of fighting a monster that deadly. Tossing the paper away, Ace sprinted out of town and down the empty road surrounded by woodland.

But little did he know, that he was being followed.

The one thing Ace seems to never fail at is getting where he needs to be.

The alien kept up the fast pace as he held the puppy in his hand and traveled down the narrow road towards Kentucky. By this point, he could smell the carcass of that goat creature. That carcass will bring him closer to its killer. That's when the challenge begins.
