Not too shabby

"Don't kill them!" Garrett shouted as the team leapt into action. An alarm was sounded, and another alien emerged from the ship after a moment, opening fire as well. Manifesting Sentinel, he charged forward and absorbed their fire while the SSTC followed behind him. Just before he reached the first of the aliens, the other fell into a hole that materialized under his feet; there was a scream, the sizzling pop of shorting electronics, and a small fountain of brownish blood erupted from the hole. Garrett engaged the first alien, only to have the alien grab his arm and use his forward momentum to throw Garrett into the side of the ship with enough force to knock him senseless for a moment. Spider engaged shortly after him, her speed and reflexes fast enough to easily evade the alien's blows until the alien hit a button on the side of its rifle. The barrel shrank and extended an energy blade, and suddenly Spider was on the defensive. Garrett recovered and turned to help Spider, but he was beaten to the punch as Splortch leapt from the hole in the ground and covered the alien. Within seconds Splortch had found an opening and forced himself inside the armor; the alien began to scream and jerk as Splortch devoured the alien within his own suit. "Splortch!" Garrett shouted. "Stand Down! NOW!!" Splortch ignored him, continuing to eat until the alien was completely gone, filling out the armor with his own body. "They're Shegath," he said finally. "There is no word for diplomacy in their language. They are a race of murderers and conquerors, and no one, not you, not Archer, not Sentinel, not your whole damned planet will stop me from giving them back what they gave to my people." Garrett was taken aback by the sudden hatred in the usually mellow alien. "All right then. Be prepared. I think they might have more around somewhere." |
