Putting the car in drive Nick began driving without a tire, his destination was only 5 minutes away on the GPS but that was assuming he was going the speed limit, which he couldn't due to his destroyed tire.
'I have to change out my tires for airless ones if I survive this, sure they're more expensive and harder to managed in extreme climates but it's better than having them popped every time I face off against an anomaly!'
The car was barely going 30 but Nick was wrestling it every step of the way, he also now had a hole in roof! The worry of a throwing star made out of bone flying in and stabbing him in the neck was so great that Nick ripped up the center console and used it to plug the hole, forcing him to only drive with one hand.
Suddenly a piece of bone smashed into his driver's window, it stuck in just half an inch into the bullet proof window but it was aimed directly at his head! Then another and another one, all three had been stopped by window but Nick was beginning to worry as the window look like a spiderweb of cracks at this point.
Nick feared more bones would keep smashing into it until the glass inevitably shattered, thankfully they stopped and Nick faced no resistance from the creeper.
The smell of the creeper has also disappeared, he should've been happy but Nick felt his worry only grow even further.
Foot to the floor, Nick was going as fast as he could as his GPS showed that he was just a few minutes away from the scrapyard and was starting to feel hopeful, but that hope was dashed the moment he checked his side mirror.
Off in the distance were two orbs of light that were hastily gaining in him, the closer it got the stronger the smell of fish got! It didnt take Nick long to realize those lights had to belong to the rusty old truck the creeper controlled!
Just as Nick felt like it couldn't get worse, the creeper climbed out of his truck and stood on its roof like a surfer!
With his truck that he could somehow control telekinetically, the creepers truck slammed into Nick's bumper as the creeper hopped on top!
With the shotgun raised to the roof, he began firing slugs that tore through his metal roof with ease but the creeper was prepared!
The creeper carried a large shield that appeared to be made out of bones woven together with vines, this shield blocked the shotgun shell without leaving even a chip in the bone!
Nick unloaded all of his shells into the roof as the siblings in the back screamed and covered there ears from the deafening noise. The shotgun didn't do any damaged to the shield but it did prevent The creeper from getting a chance to attack!
Dropping the shotgun Nick, Nick pulled out his large smith and Weston revolver just as the junkyard sign came into view! Suddenly a large hand shot through the hole in the roof and began choking Nick!
With the revolver in hand, he began firing upward only to see his bullets land squarely on his shield, denting it but not piercing though! With the gun clicking empty Nick had no choice but to drop it and rely on himself to deal with it.
Letting go of the steering wheel, Nick wrapped both of his hands around the Creepers. Suddenly Nicks arms began to grow white fur as his muscles and bones grew larger! His mouth widened as rows or sharp teeth filled his mouth, a mouth that Nick would immediately put to use!
Using the strength granted to him from absorbing a polar bear, Nick managed to lift the creeps arm upward as he chomped down with his mouth!
A polar bear has a bite force of over 1000lb, this allowed Chiba to rip off the creepers hand and spit it onto the floor! It took all of Nicks willpower to focus on driving, the taste of the creepers flesh left a revolting taste of rot and vinegar.
Not letting the revolting taste distract him, Nick looked up and saw the creepers eyes widen in shock as he looked at the half polar bear Nick. Its only remaining hand clenched tightly to his shield, leaving him no way of attack Nick unless he dropped it
There was a moment of silence as Nick and the Creeper had a staredown, both not willing to break eye contact when suddenly the wings of the creeper unfurled and he took flight back to his van.
Nick thought he finally caught a break when suddenly he felt something hit his car. Looking in the rearview mirror he saw that the creepers van had stopped chasing and was parked in the middle of the road, but the front of the van had a thick wire that attached itself to Nicks car!
'He shot us with his wench! The fuckers is gonna pull us in!' Nick's face slammed into the airbags as the car came to an abrupt stop!
Even if he was much stronger Nick was still an animal with a brain floating in fluids, the abrupt stopped caused his brain to smash into his skull causing a mild concussion. He didnt even have the time to groan as the the creepers winch began to dragging his car backwards!
Slamming his door open, a bleary eyes Nick nearly ripped off the back door from its hinges and allowed the two siblings to escape. Not being able to open up the trunk because of the wench, Nick could only rip up the backseat and grab the silver machete and glock he stashed there.
Normally he'd only use a silver machete if he crossed paths with a wendigoo, shapeshifter or werewolf but he couldnt be picky about his weapon at the moment.
His glock had been loaded with different bullets, silver, iron, devil trap, salt, etc. It was one of his emergancy pistols that he carried in case he didnt know what he was fighting. He doubted itd be of much use against the creeper but it was better than nothing.
By now the junkyard was in view and the hard part was over, he had a plan on how to kill the creeper but didnt know exactly how to execute it.
Controlling his power to receed his fur and mouth, Nick kept the strength of the Polar bear and ran full sprint at nearly 50mph! In his transformed state his injured leg temporarily faded away and he no longer had a limp!
Passing by the siblings, he hoisted them both over his massive shoulders and ran towards the scrapyard only illuminated by the streetlamps.
Shrieks of horror came from the siblings at the sudden grab but their faces went white in terror as they watched the Creeper.
"H-he just cut the winch! His truck is coming straight at us!" Derry screamed out.
Nick didnt need the warning, his nose was already smelling the foul odor getting stronger but he knew he couldnt outrun the creeper!
"Listen! You two need to power up this place and get the car shredder working! I dont care how, just get that thing working! Scream for me when its ready." Nick didnt way for a response as he gently threw the siblings at the gates of the junkyard and turned around to face the creeper.
Seething with hatred, the Creeper gave the two a cursory look before his eyes locked onto Nick, his missing arm having already been replaced with an arm from a corpse stored in his truck.
Just the look in the eyes of the creeper gave Nick chills, it was obvious that the only thing this creature wanted right now was to kill him!
