The Dark Beyond

Nightmare Part 1

He barely ducked in time as blood went flying everywhere and people screamed and ran for their lives. A few dead bodies flopped on top of him. Eventually the loud sound of Jose's giant machine gun came to halt. Nelson rose from underneath the dead body, frowning in disgust. "JOSE?!" Nelson exclaimed. "You're alive??!" Jose lifted his head just so, smiling crookedly. "Nelson. Finally done sleeping after I saved yo bitchass?" "Jose man!!!" Samuel yelled angrily, "What the hell are you doing!?" Nelson was surprised. He had never heard Samuel curse in all his 20 years of life. "I'm not taking no more L's," Jose said. "I'm on the winning side." "What happened to you??" Nelson asked, "You have red eyes!" "Fuck yea puto," Jose said with a grin, "I'm a new and improved me. The aliens the fucked up Tennessee? Ain't got shit on me or these new ones that found me. They're the Martians. I was weak." Jose paused to flex his huge biceps. "But these martians enhanced me. They found me, lost and angry. They gave me these red pills. They told me how they fucked up the other ones back in the day. Now that I'm with them, I'm finally strong enough to get revenge for my family that they killed." Jose frowned for a moment, then up'd his machine gun at them. "I got enough bullets to fuck y'all up right now. You gonna join me or stay down here with these weak ass humans??" "They turned you into an alien??" Samuel asked. "Fuck yeah I'm a Martian bitch!" Jose said, laughing maniacally. "I can't let this slide man," Samuel said angrily, balling up his fists, "You killed ALL these innocent people." Jose shrugged. "Ain't none of you gonna stop me. I was better when I was a human. Now that I'm more than that, you oughta walk away while you still can." Nelson frowned. Would this happen to him if took the green pills that the alien had given him? Samuel up'd his two pistols, aiming at Jose. "Yeah okay try to stop me," He taunted, readying his heavy machine gun. Just then, Anora flashed up from the dead bodies and sniped the gun out of Jose's hand. As he reached for it she sniped through both of his hands, leaving an open hole in both of them. As Anora was reloading, Jose snarled before darting out of the church. Samuel passed the box with the artifact in it to Nelson, and said, take this and do whatever it takes to finish the mission. I'm going to go kill Jose." Samuel ran out without another word. "I know where it is," Anora said, wiping blood off of her face. "Follow me." Anora darted out of the church, Nelson running behind her. She was really fast and nimble on her feet, and he had to run a decent speed to keep up with her. He felt the green pills in his pocket - which he decided to keep in case of a life or dead situation since it would make him increasingly stronger. He was afraid to use them now. They eventually darted into an alley way, into a trap door hidden under a few trash bags. Anora jumped down, and Nelson followed suit.

     The country guy seemed alarmed to see them fall into sewers entrance. As he noticed him, he saw that he was wearing a name tag today. His name was Zach. "Careful I almost done shotgunn'd ya," he said frowning. "We need to get to the Teleporter immediately," Anora said flatly. "ASAP. Code ASAP." Zach nodded, and motioned them to follow him. They jogged down what seemed like a series of fancy catacombs until they reached a door. With a code pad on it. Zach opened it for them as the heard aggressive yelling coming from behind them. It sounded like Samuel. Nelson frowned worriedly. "Come on," Anora said, grabbing Nelson's arm and dragging him into the room. The room was empty, save for a ceiling light and huge black burn on the red brick wall shaped like a giant door. Zach put on metal gloves. "Ya can't touch these here alien things with these metal gloves or it'll kill ya," he warned, and he turned to take a brick out of the wall next to the portal opening. He used the glove to remove a long piece of shiny metal, with an inscription written on it in some extraterrestrial language. Zach used it to stab the wall, and the portal opened. "We hid the actual machine behind this here brick wall," Zach explained.

      At that moment Samuel ragdolled into the room, smashing into the wall next to the portal before falling painfully on the ground. "Damn it...." he muttered. "I'll be taking that," Jose said nastily, walking into the room, and eyeing the technology Zach had in his hand. His hands had already healed from where Anora shot through them. "Well stick a piece of bread up my ass and call me a toaster," Zach proclaimed, "It's you." He whipped out a shotgun and ran up on Jose, dropping the alien tech on the ground. Anora aimed her sniper rifle. And Nelson clumsily took out his assault rifle. As Zach tried to shotgun him in the chest, Jose sidestepped fast enough to evade the shells, and snatched the shotgun out of his hand. Zach tried to throw a few punches but Jose took them without flinching. "Fuck out my face with that weak human shit," Jose spat, and backhanded Zach, sending him flying into the wall next to Samuel. Jose eyed Anora, who now shot at him. He used the shotgun to block the bullet, and threw it at Anora, who jumped out of the way but had the Sniper knocked out her hand. Nelson felt himself getting pissed off. As Jose approached her, he stood in between them. "Don't make me mad," Nelson said, temper rising. "You can't do shit about it," Jose laughed, "You couldn't beat me when we were both human. Now I'm Martian and you're  human." "You're not touching Anora," he spat coldly.
