I run into the room along with Tom and Sylus. I see Sol on the ground an assassin standing on his chest. I create a fire bolt the size of a watermelon and chuck it at the assassins chest. The fire hits the alien and sets it’s blood on fire. I focus on the fire and rise the alien up into the air . Then drop it on the floor a couple feet away from Sol. It screams in pain as Tom fires two bolts of acid at it’s face.
I look to my right and see Alyssa entangled in a mass of alien tendrils. I blast it all with fire and it starts falling off her. She screams and her eyes flash a light blue color. The whole rooms temperature drops and the tentacles around her freeze and crack. I rub my palms together and pull out my dual axes. The blades slowly glow as I power them up with flames. Two soldiers run up to the door but I deal with them quickly chopping off their legs. They fall and aim their cannons at me but I bring my axes down right in their faces.
There’s a wet shunk and then blood splatters over the blades. I pull them out which is hard since the blades are stuck in their skulls. I don’t notice the eight alien soldiers behind me until Sylus blasts a cyclone of air at me making me fall back. My right axe tears out of the alien’s face and I duck as their crimson lasers fly over my head. I surround my whole body in fire and turn around then stand. The crimson lasers are still heading at me but their slower.
I’m in shutter once again. I can now control it better since I had been messing with it a lot. I run forward and throw the front aliens into the air. Their still firing in midair. I swing my axe and decapitate two more. The other four are firing even more intensely. I dodge through the lasers and chop one of their arms off the brown blood spraying into the air ever so slowly that it looks like it’s frozen. The last three are standing in a triangle formation, two at the front one in the back middle. I just blast them with so much fire their bodies jump into the air and slowly start recoiling and falling.
I slowly shift back into regular time and see the alien’s fall all at once the three I blasted hitting the back of the hallway and their backs cracking. I hear a snarl behind me and blast fire into the face of the one armed alien attacker. It stumbles backwards screaming in pain. I grab it’s remaining arm and lob it off too. It screams more blood pouring from the wounds. “Phillip stop that’s enough.” Alyssa says walking over with Sylus. The alien keeps stumbling. Apparently Alyssa knew what I was thinking and she shook her head.
I did it anyway. I slashed my axe across it’s throat then tear my other axe out the aliens corpse then slash the soldier before me’s stomach open. It falls completely silent. “You didn’t need to do that.” Alyssa says then pushes past me into the hallway. There’s a loud popping sound behind me making me turn around. Tom is popping the egg like cocoons in the center of the room.
Jack, Mark and about four weapon masters were in the cocoons. Two of the weapon masters wake up quickly and carry their comrades. Tom carries Mark while I carry Jack. We all stumble outside and follow Alyssa.
(Sol)
It’s hard for me to walk being that every moment I step forward it feels like I’m taking two steps backwards. The poison is making me hallucinate I think following the shadow before me that I know is Sylus. He turns around and looks at me his eyes glowing white flames and his mouth filled with dark black teeth. He screeches at me and I stop moving the hallway twisting and turning around us. I step backwards and find myself stepping forwards. I shake my head and focus on Sylus’ face. It slowly shifts back to normal along with the rest of the room. “Sol you OK?” he asks the screeching turning into his voice. I nod and then rub my temples and say “I’m fine now let’s move.” He turns around and follows the others. Soon we hear another roar. This one shakes the ground and the whole hallway.
I get the feeling of danger again and duck as the wall beside me is smashed exploding rubble everywhere. A 16 foot tall lizard roars at us hitting the other side of the hallway. It’s scales are green and it has red eyes that and black pupils no whites just red. Its long black tongue whips out its mouth and licks the blood off its lips. Phillip turns around and runs at it flames dancing around his body. The lizard is built stockily with a muscular body and short legs. It grabs Phillip and throws him over it’s shoulder like a used toy. I blast the lizard in the face with energy which blinds it.
While it’s blinded I make blue energy to surround me then around my fists. “Sol?!” Alyssa yells from behind me. “Run!!” I yell as the lizard regains its sight. I grimace as I release all of the energy at once. It exhausts me but hits the alien hard. The alien flies backwards but kicks me in the face as its going down.
My whole world spins and turns then I hit my head on a wall and pain throbs in my head making dark spots cloud my vision. I yell in pain and succumb to the twisted hallucinations in the sides of my vision. I go unconscious for I don’t know how long. Then I hear the noises of running. Bright light burns my eyelids.
