2022-09-05 02:53:49He appear so brave in their eyes that they trusted him blindly. While they ran, his leg kicked against a rod, which was shaped like a spear and it attracted the monster which wasn't far away from these three. Ethan picked it up with a shaky hand and hide the girl behind him while cautioning them to keep silence since he had detect that this alien was attracted to them but the little boy couldn't hold his mouth still and winced loudly which made the monster shove his face and them. It sprang at Ethan who had already dropped the boy to confront this monster, which urgently wanted to devour him.
"Run!" He yelled at the children who were crying and moving back. Ethan wedge the rod in his hand while struggling with the monster which suddenly dropped dead on him, he knew he didn't kill it as he pushed it away and stood up as his eyes met an old man on a wheelchair. This man was pointing a gun at Ethan who raised his hand up. The old man on a wheelchair had killed this monster saving Ethan's life.
"Get in boy" the man ordered. He turned his back to see if the kids were still around intending that they would get along with the old man inside too but they were gone.
"Boy get in!" He said with a frown as he was trying to safe this lad who was looking puzzled from incoming monsters.
"Please I would come back, open up for me then" Ethan said mustering courage to go and get the two kids that he had assured to protect.
"Stupid boy, run off and die!" The old man commented slamming his door as he felt he wasted his time saving this lad who looked pathetic.
AT THE GROUND FLOOR.
"What's going to happen to us?" Yvonne asked pacing to and fro as they were 10 gathered in this place; horrified and troubled over the strange things that had occured within two hours and staying on the ground floor as some couldn't muster courage to return to their rooms with the thought that a monster might attack them.
"Die of course, what are the press saying about this?" Ollie cried as he couldn't control himself from lamenting over the terror that his eyes behold. Agatha whimpered at a corner for her child who had gone to school that morning, her hands were shaking as all toll lines were disabled and no one could communicate to anyone through gadget.
"Nothing!" Ken added quivering as everyone was left in fear of the unknown. At a corner sat Jessica and the young man treating the bruise she had when he pushed her to the ground.
"Stop acting like a good brother, fidel, it useless!" She hollered at him while letting out a painful hiss. Fidel swallowed without giving a response as he estimated the whole situation. He was a nerd who dedicated most of his time working hard to fulfill his sister's dreams as they turned out to be orphans. She had never appreciated him a bit but he didn't seem hurt as he tried his best to make her happy. He was quiet in looks and was intelligent in handling situations like that, even he was younger than most people around there, he was respected. In this apartment, most people barely knew each other as it was large and everyone mind their doings except those who intended to make friends.
"What are going to do about this?" She wailed as he raised a brow at her.
"Stay still" he said. He always spoke in a serene tone as though all was okay. Fidel stood up and glanced at everyone who murmured.
"We need to work together if we want to survive this!" He declared and Rodger scoffed.
"What? a child giving orders"
"Except you want to end up dying" Fidel cuts in staring at the old man who frowned and left to seat on the bench placed closed to the grocery store at that ground floor.
"He's right" Mrs Choi affirmed coming to stand close to Fidel. Jessica groaned and got into the elevator leading to the 11th floor which was where her room was located.
"Look!" Yvonne pointed as the big screen which was placed on a pillar woke up. Everyone's attention were drawn to the screen and they could see the minister was addressing the situation. He talked about what was going on in the country.
"Monsterization?" Ken repeated yelling loud as Mrs Choi beckoned on him to keep silence. Fidel stared at the screen and turned his gaze to where he had left his sister seated but she wasn't there.
"How can humans change into monsters? What's the cause?" Ollie asked. He was the kind who listens to long speech made by the press as he preferred it was told to him plain and clear.
"Humans deepest desires turns them to monster! It's not infectious, this is a period that everyone had to stay guard and protect themselves..." The minister wasn't done when they could see thorns coming out from his shoulder and he was switching to a monster. He suddenly changed his speech and said;
"We're all dead! No one is coming for us, save yourself from the monsters it could be anyone of you!..." He wasn't done when he was shot by a soldier whose face was unclear and the screen went blank.
"Arghhhh!!" Two women shouted disgusted by what happened to the minister. This action brought more fear to their door step as their minds were void as the vastness of a hole.
"We are doomed!" Yvonne cried going to seat with rodger who was unease where he was. She had broken the long silence. The firefighter had left earlier to observe the environment and search for people who were in danger in their various apartment.
"Pull yourself together Mrs" Fidel beckoned with a serious gaze at her while intending to go after his sister but suddenly a monster fell down from the roof which caused an uproar, as once again everyone stepped back for Fidel to handle it.
"Fire!" Fidel yelled dribbling the monster which had an eye on its head and its hand were triple. Rodger quickly got a match box from the grocery shop, picked a stick, tied a rag on it and set it to flame then threw it to Fidel, everywhere was covered with smoke. In a short while, the smoke subsided but the people could get sight of Fidel nor the monster.

Demon fang mountain Countless military trucks and armoured tanks with the AADAF central military base logo could be seen making their way over the rugged mountain terrain. Despite how bad the road was,the vehicles hardly shook all thanks to how well designed they were. At a single glance there were about thirty vehicles here! “Halt! Where here." Inside the drivers compartment of each of the vehicles General Lebronsky's voice could be heard causing every car to come to a stop. “Fall into formation now!" Giving the next order,the soldiers in each of the trucks quickly rushed out of the vehicles before falling into neat formations. Clearly they had practiced this for a while now. Walking out of the military jeep that he was in , General Lebronsky along with the other powermasters from the volunteering camps made their way over. “Men…were here. This is the lair of the Xenogenic Alpha blade. I'm sure that your leaders have already explained the situation to you so I won't

Afternoon. The time of the day when the sun was at its peak. Due to the special geography of Barnes city and it's environs it received a lot of sun daily. The highest temperature recorded in the day had once reached a staggering 41 degrees Celsius! While today's temperature wasn't that high it was still hot enough to cause one to sweat bullets. With how hot everywhere was the best thing to do right now would be to sleep and that was what the sentrys of the AADAF base were currently doing. While you might accuse them of slacking off on duty they couldn't really be blamed. Furthermore,the probably wouldn't have anything to do since the monsters that were supposed to attack them would be busy battling the Hellstrike expedition force so they really wouldn't have much to do. The strike force had left the camp over two hours ago and by now they should just be approaching the mountain range,the battle that would decide if humans could continue settling around this area would soon begi

Inside the AADAF central base. The sounds of equipment and artillery being moved around could be heard in the base. Countless personnel were on ground to direct and coordinate the activities currently ongoing. WOOSH, WOOSH, WOOSH! Over a dozen armoured vans wheezed by as they drove towards a mini parking lot where they halted while military grade trucks reversed so that the ammunitions and supplies could be placed in them. Operation Hellstrike commenced today! Well technically not today as it had started ever since General Lebronsky first tabled the idea. However,in a sense it was still right as this was the first time that something tangible would be done. Previously the only thing being done was just preparations,today was the day that they would really advance to put the operation in motion. “Today finally came!" Standing at the edge of the window of the finally completed command center general Lebronsky muttered under his breath as he watched the proceedings bel

On the highway leading out of Barnes city,a truck could be seen rushing past the buildings . There was a black motorcycle in the back while four people consisting of three men and a lady sat surrounding it. Inside the truck there were two men,one driving while the other was well not really doing anything bringing the total to six. Suddenly from one of the abandoned houses on the side of the road a tiger like monster suddenly jumped out with the intention of ambushing the truck. However,before it could even step on the asphalt,there was a bang and it fell on the spot having received a bullet to the head. Blowing the smoke off the tip of the gun,the shooter proceeded to place the weapon by his side while watching the number faces of his co travellers. As you might have guessed,the group was none other than Ethan and the five man group from earlier in the day. They were currently travelling together to the AADAF central base. Concerning the event that happened in the morning,

“Here this should be the place right? Looks like a nice spot.” Followed by the rumbling sounds of an engine dying off a black a motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the Freetown convienence store. Taking off the helmet,the rider turned out to be none other than Ethan. “Luckily I was able to get here before nightfall.” By now the sun had just fully set and everywhere had gone dark. He really was lucky. After removing the key from the ignition and ensuring that everything was set,he started to make his way into the store but not before grabbing his weapons. Pushing the double glass doors open,he entered with utmost caution while gripping the saber with both hands,the sniper rifle on his back. Taking slow steps to minimize the noise from stepping on the shattered glass he soon fully entered. There was no way anything would catch him off guard like this! After entering though it seemed like there was nothing to worry about as there was no sign of a monster in the vicinit

On a free express highway a dumb looking monster that looked like an dodo but with four legs stood in one of the bushes by the side of the road while glaring at its own reflection in a puddle of water. Today was the fourth day since it had last eaten and right now it was not an exaggeration to say that it could eat anything. While it could go out hunting,it dared not to as most of the monsters out there were stronger than it. It was just a rogue tier,venturing near them would be just like offering itself up for dinner! Thus it had devised this method of lying in wait by the roadside just to ambush it's unknowing prey and it was working out pretty fine as it git more food to eat. Ever since it had started this method it couldn't help but feel continuous pride in itself for devising this method. And it's prey you might ask? Humans of course!Since it couldn't hunt other monsters since they were stronger than it humans were the only meal it could affor-cough hunt!The
