(Jane) Have you all found it yet? I filled the backpack full
*Helicopter sounds flying over* *speaker*
Come to the army camp, we have food, water, and protection
I repeat come to the army, we have food, water, and protection
I climbed out of the body of the brute, holding a gem a little smaller than my fist
I found it!
(Marcus) So we can get going now?
Yeah, im sorry guys these gems really have a pull on me, i thought the body would just turn to dust when the sun came out but I guess it doesn't go away after it's dead or something.
We all had backpacks on with food and water, i have the medkit the guns, and some clothes, i also brought my identification card to show that I was in the army, i always hated the rankings, of course, I strived every day to get to the top, and I got closer than most, but it was never for me
We started on our way to the army camp, its not to far from where i live, i always had this sneaking feeling that i wouldnt regret living close to the army camp, we got there about 3 hours after leaving my house, we passed a parking lot thats right infront of the camp, there was a long line at the entrance, we got into line and it took us about 2 hours till we got to the front of the line, they searched us
(Soldier) You're not allowed in with these guns with a gun license sir, we'll have to take these
Why the hell would I need that *pulling out my ID card*
I am Lucian Graves, I am 34 years old, I am a colonel, my number is Col-13397, this should be all the proof you need to let me have these guns, now go give this to your highest officer, or im leaving
The 4 soldiers at the entrance nervously glance at each other till one took my card and ran off, They're all privates from their medals, why is there no sergeant, after 15 minutes I saw a higher officer running with the soldier to the entrance, he saluted me
Good afternoon, Colonel. I'm Major Johnson. It's a pleasure to meet you. Let them in and get the line moving faster, we need everyone behind the gate before nightfall
The private saluted and said Yes sir
(Johnson) If you would follow me, Colonel Graves, our general died in an attack so I was put in charge, im the only high official here, those monsters are ruthless, i would like to enlist you if you would help
Yes I am willing to help till an official that is higher rank than you comes, you will do most of the paperwork and stuff, I'll coordinate everything for you, I always hated the paperwork
(Johnson) Yes Sir!
He seemed very fine with me putting the paperwork on him
What are the heavy weapons and ammunition looking like?
(Johnson) We have 2 tanks, one is out of ammunition, i requested ammo 1 day ago, the 2nd one has 2 shots left, we have 4 turrets and air defense turrets, ammunition should last us 3 days, we have enough food and water for 4 months at least, we also have a lot of medical supplies left
That's more than I needed but thanks, here is a monster codex that I made, I've fought a few and written down some of their weaknesses make sure to show it to everyone, and make sure to study it for tonight, now! Go!
(Johnson) Yes! Sir!
(Jane) Isn't that your only one though?
No I got 4 more, I need to make sure that this information is used
(Marcus) *laughs* That's awesome, I'm gonna need one of those in the future
You guys can stay in this tent, im going to walk around and make sure there's no other entrances that the mawlers could come from
(Jane) okay!
I walked around the base, the fence had no openings, i never heard any explosions from the other nights so I wonder how the tanks barely have any ammunition, we'll just have to make the 2 shots count, i walked around a bit more, giving some survivors some food and water, they will need it for tonight
When night came, it was foggy, the guns couldn't see anything, but the mawlers couldn't see us either, i was posted up with the major, i had my M4, most people read my codex so no one was making any sounds or even moving, we were just waiting for any sign of danger
(Fog) He-e-lp me, Help me please, they're coming for me
I saw the private next to me shiver a bit
*whispering*
Whats wrong private
(Private) It sounds like my mother, I wasn't able to get her here before she died
I felt a shiver down my spine, it's mimicking our voices, after that thought, I saw a private run from his station into the fog
Crap
(Man in the fog) Come out, im here to help!
Silence
(Man in the fog) Where are you, ma'am! Oh there you are, come on
A scream came from the fog then silence, we heard the sound as his body was crunched on by the mawlers, not much happened for the rest of the night
(Johnson) Colonel Graves! Do you have any idea what that thing was last night?
No, I have no idea, but it could mimic our voices so it has some kind of intelligence
*looking at the almost completely eaten body of the private*
The parts of him with padding were eaten, i wonder if they can't eat through the padding
Hey! Make sure everyone has some kind of padding and go get my friends, make sure they get some padding too
(Johnson) Yes Sir!
He ran off, i was standing in the middle of the street, i looked over to the parking garage building, in the door way to it was humanoid 6 foot tall figure, he was just in the shadow of the doorway, white pale skin, horns where its eyes would be, it had a gill like throat, its arms were like pikes, no hands, just a needle appendage, it had a mouth that was smiling, its teeth were like a sharks maw, it look muscular but also starved on hits head was hair that moved like tentacles, had a hole for a nose, and 1 spike on both sides of its head, my heart hurt, it felt like just seeing this monster make me was to run for my life, its too strong for me or anyone, it waved it hand over
(Monster) psst, shhhh *putting its pike arm over its mouth* I ju-u-ust want t-o spe-ak
I had a tactical knife hidden in my pants loop, so I calmed myself and walked close but not close enough that it would stab me, i was about 3 cars away from it
This is as close as im getting Mawler!
(Mawler) *chuckles* Ma-wler? Is that *cough cough* is that what you call us?
Yes, well ill probably call you a mimic mawler or something
(Mawler) Our species is called the azzukielume, we are a very adaptable species, my name is Opiquide and your name is?
I go by Lucian, Monster, what are all of your objectives here, were you all made here to destroy the United States
(Mawler) what? No, no, no, we appeared here, our world is more dark, it's always dark, never none of this
Light?
(Mawler) Ah! Light, very good, we will come for you soon, the light is only a temporary deterrent, I command these, what did you call them again, "Mawlers?"
Are you the strongest of your species?
(Mawler) *laughing loudly* Im not even close to the strongest, we have a ranking system on our world, it was weak to king, 10 ranks
How do you know so many of our words?
(Mawler) comes with the voice, I get them memories of who I eat
What number would you be on that ranking list?
(Mawler) 5
His tone was like glass scratching my ears, he's only a class type 5 and I feel under him 10 fold
(Mawler) Understand this human, we will be coming for you in 3 hours, if you are to survive, you can have my core and make yourself stronger with it
Core? Wait what, you can't come in the sun how do you expect to attack us
His smile turned into a frown, he took 2 steps out into the sun, his skin seemed to steam a bit but didn't burn like the others I've seen before
(Mawler) We are fine with your advantages human, we will fight in your sun
A loud screech came from above, a dinosaur-looking mawler was above on the top floor flapping its wings, its hands were claws, its feet were claws, its face was a mouth like the normal ones, and it could just fly
(Mawler) We will attack you with all the types we have at our disposal, I wish I could tell you more *but the smile inching back up his face* but I would have to kill you
He walked back into the darkness, so did the other flying creature, i walked back to the entrance to the base, thinking about plans to defend from this demon spawn
