Meanwhile, zombies continued to beat on the fence, rattling the chain link to an annoying, disjointed rhythm. All the while, more of the Scissor Tails appeared!

....Another appeared before Lex and Ali, crawling down the side of a transformer, hissing at them from behind! It leaped down at Lex, pincer's latched at her throat, tail swiping across Alison's face as it pulled Lex off the small rise of the platform and onto the dirt path a foot below! A third appeared, to gain up on Lex as she struggled with the one trying to bite her neck!

Lex gasped, eyes widened with surprise as she was flung from the railing onto her back in the dirt, her cross-bow pistol tumbling from her hands! She grabbed hold of the painful pincers digging at her throat as she kicked her powerful legs against the creepy centipede like creature's body! "GeT...OfF!" Screamed Lex's raspy voice, as her onyx gaze fell to another bug closing in on her head! Oh shit, they're fucking everywhere!! Mentally cried the escort, who proceeded to jab her high heels into the underbelly of the wriggling creature on top of her, all the while keeping its pincers from digging too deeply at her neck!

by Khristian Sat Oct 22, 2022 1:20 am

The sound of a shattering pot rang out as the bug recoiled from an impact, a green herb laying in the dirt from the pot as the bug was stunned. “Yes, dead on!” Khristian said to himself with a small fist pump, before continuing on to his task.

"Yeowch!!" Screamed Ali, feeling blood run down her cheek from the glancing blow of the creature's bladed tail!

She held up her hand, her face smeared with blood from the thankfully shallow cut that could have instead taken her eye! However, the former Canadian Mountie was pissed! "Fucking worm!" She screamed, swinging her legs around the rails, driving her boots down on the bug on top of Lex! "Sorry!" She spat, before she slid her shotgun lengthwise under the... neck? of the creature, and pulled the mouth away from Lex's neck as she held it back as if holding a person in a choke hold! "Hurry! Move!" Alison barked, wincing to hold back the squirming, disgusting creature! God, its weighs as fucking much as a full grown german shepherd! Christ!! She groaned, trying to peel it away from Lex!

Thankfully, the other bug was thwarted thanks to Khris' clever use of a flowering pot, the creature seemingly stunned if not outright dead! "Nice one!" She called out, smirking as blood rolled down her cheek, twisting and pulling the creepy crawly from Lex's curvy body!

[6/9 (sorta nice) Scissortails remaining...]

(Khristian's side)

The monster that Khristian shot with his new handgun in conjunction with the other was quickly subdued, its long body sliding off the catwalk and down into the dirt somewhere below after an eerie shriek!

Soon after, he dispatched another below him, one that would have began attacking Lex's skull had he not dropped the green herb atop it, making use of his analytical skills, luck, and timing.

After eliminating a pair of the creatures, another appeared on the catwalk, lunging towards him with its tail raised like a scorpion, attempting to jab and strike him with the pointed barbs, which displayed against the desiccated corpse that it could even potentially snap through bone!

(Sam's side)

Sam managed to stun the creature as she fell back, hitting its soft underbelly with her weight! Its pincers drew blood against her neck, but didn't impale her thankfully! Being stunned, the tail relaxed, as did the rest of its twitching legs, allowing her to break free of its hold!

(Alison and Lex's side)

The Scissor Tail that was hit by the flowering pot's carapace shattered like the clay pot! Its head oozed more of that disgusting, yellow-green slime as it wobbled and curled up dead like the other two had!

Thanks to Ali's intervention as well, Lex was free to move again- however!

SHINK!

The creature's scissor like tails stabbed into Alison's back! Driving like a pair of shivs the creature jabbed at her three times randomly against her back, drawing blood through her pale blue uniform as it tried to force her to let go of it!

Worse, two more of the creatures appeared, skittering across the brick wall of the building close to Sam, while the one she had stunned was slowly reviving!

"S-shit...!" Spat Alison, the pain of the knife like tail digging deep into her back was a reminder of... well, when she had been stabbed before! In Canada, there was this junkie who she confronted with her partner, and he took his eye off them for one moment before they were on top of the younger Alison! She was stabbed five times in the side of her chest... it was harrowing as hell.

She dropped the gun-

Thats what this bug was to her now, that junkie that used to haunt her dreams- it was like the demonic visage of what that person truly was... a lowly pest.

-grabbed each side of its biting head-

*CRUNCH*

SCUM.

Alison twisted the creature's head off, twisting and turning till the gross creature's head spewed out that vomit coloured blood from its squirming neck! "RAAAH!!" Alison roared, tossing the head aside, stumbling as she grabbed the railing of one of the platforms! "I'm... fine!" She spat, kicking the corpse away from both Lex and herself, before the sound of more skittering bastards caused the woman to turn her head toward's Sam's direction! "Sam, move!" She coughed, drawing her Browning HP, firing a couple of rounds at the bugs sticking to the wall!

by Samantha Kamura Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:19 am

Sam quickly rolled off the squirming, disgusting bug, her hand against her bleeding neck, before she lowered the .357 and fired the magnum round into the squirming creature's soft underbelly! "Fucking bastard...!" She spat, before hearing Alison screaming in agony, or fury... or both!

"Alison!" She called out to her partner, noting the woman's back was a river of crimson down the blue uniform. She looked pretty banged up, but the bug that did it... looked worse. Much worse. She screamed at her, and raised her handgun, shooting past the Asian-American! Sam ducked and glanced back at the creatures hugging the wall, hissing at her! "Crap, how many of these things are there?!" She cried, crawling under the railing, falling to the dirt path surrounding the power station. As she got up, she looked over to the new girl. "Here, use this for now!" She exclaimed, handing her the stockless Benelli M3 shotgun, as she pointed to the other transformers that needed to be turned on. "Just keep Ali safe, I need to hit the other switches." She explained, before looking up to Khristian. "Khristian! I'm going to switch the other breaker, make sure you hit both of yours as well!" she called out, before heading for the other switch, located past a row of the caged in machines.

by Khristian Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:25 am

Khristian opened fire on the charging insect, popping off another five rounds, then stomping on the head and walked passed. “Got it!” He called back to his fiancée as he approached the enclosure.

by Lex Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:27 am

Lex gasped, hand's roughed up from the pincers, but managed to backcrawl away from the creature, thanks to Alison's handling of the beast. Still, she felt responsible as Alison took a beating from it, and after grabbing her bowgun and the shotgun the officer dropped, setting it beside Alison, checked on the bleeding woman. "Holy shit, thanks... you okay, do you need something for the pain?" She asked, before she was suddenly given a shotgun by the other officer, Sam. Blinking, Lex put the bow aside and grabbed the stockless weapon from the officer and turned her attention to the creatures whom Alison shot at with her handgun. "Okay." She gulped, and hip fired the shotgun towards the direction of the two creatures hugging the brick wall! She really wondered what happened to Camelia though, and hoped these things didn't eat her alive...

[3 of 9 scissortails remain]

(Lex and Alison side)

With Alison removing the head of the Scissortail in spite of the injuries she sustained, the gruesome act yet removed another obstacle from their path. The zombies outside the 'pen' so to speak, continued banging on the fence, drawn by the blood and the sound of gunfire by the survivors. The two scissortails which hugged the wall dropped down as they were fired upon, buckshot bouncing off one's carapace, while the 9mm rounds plinked off the other; however one lost one its many legs and the other part of its tail as they broke off and began skittering under the raised platforms and between fragile machinery...!

(Khristian's side)

The creature jabbed at the air as Khristian took a step back, firing five shots rather swiftly and well placed given the close range and his familiarity with weapons due to his time on the range with his fiancée. As he got to the enclosure opposite of the office, he would see the large, yellow stencilled letter and number: A 4

The lever was pulled into the 'down' off position, and had he turned around, he'd see A 3 was printed on a box past the corpse and where he slain the recent Scissor Tail, and that the catwalk connected to it sort of 'figured eight' around a pair of massive towers- and that another path lead to that enclosed office with the card reader, which was clearly off given the lights on the reader didn't glow, nor did any light within the office seemed to be turned on.
As it was, other lights (which were labelled) in the event if there was something besides a power failure next to the A1-A4 panels appeared to be off- suggesting, hopefully, that simply someone pulled the levers down.

(Sam's side)

After killing the monster with her newly acquired magnum, Sam made her way to A 2, and was nearly shrouded in darkness...

A weird... sort of webbing was spread across from the catwalks above down to the ground below. She'd see a yellow hard hat, orange clothing of a Knights Construction Co. worker laying face down in the odd, cocoon like material- their flesh lacking any moisture, and looking mummified!

With the A 2 panel so close, it seemed almost too easy...

As she got closer, a skittering scissortail slashed the back of her right leg with its razor sharp tail, before it dove into a path too small for Sam to follow in the weird webbing!

"Eyaaah!" Cried out Samantha in pain, falling to her knee as she swept the area with her magnum. She still had 5 .357 magnum shells left, and wasn't afraid to use'em on the bug! "Shit, that fucking stings like a bitch...!" spat Sam as she hobbled back to her feet, unable to find the skittering creature! "Okay... gotta activate this switch." She told herself, hobbling over to the caged in area, ignoring the corpses of construction workers as she yanked down on the huge lever! With some effort, the lever squealed as she pulled it downwards, the sound of voltage and a mechanical hum prevalent in the background. "Okay, thats all of them down here!" She called up to Khristian!

“Wait, A4? Did I already pass A3?” He looked around for a moment, noticing the box behind him. “Oh….” He remarked, doubling back and opening the box, reaching in and flicking up the lever.”

As soon as Khristian pulled the lever, there was a deep zapping sound. Electricity shot through the transformers and into the chain link fences, electrocuting anything touching the wire fence, zapping the zombies to the point their bodies burst with blood! The last few bugs in the area are frightened off by the power surge, leaving the survivors within safe... for the time being.

Nearby Khristian, the office he passed earlier with the card reader (that matched the color of the card key he found) began to light up. Another card reader, down by where Samantha was, lit up as the lights under the structure lit, allowing the woman to see more clearly. This card reader was for what looked like metal doors leading down into a maintenance tunnel which seemed to go past the electrified fence, and thus... may be a way out!

by Random Mobs Mon May 01, 2023 9:25 pm

As Khristian would notice, the only creatures that seemed to remain were rather docile, albeit obscenely large slugs crawling around the shed with the card reader:

However, through the windows past the guard rails, a visible prize lay ahead sticking out of a black duffle bag:

by Khristian Tue May 02, 2023 1:00 pm

Looking back at the door he passed earlier, he noticed the lit up keycard reader. “Well, if it’s working now…” he remarked, sliding the card through the reader, a soft beep confirming the door was unlocked. Inside he noticed another duffel bag, with the barrel of a rifle sticking out. “Why is there a… no, don’t question it, not enough time.” He groaned in confusion, picking up the new weapon:

“Huh, even has a spare magazine. Guess these guys were looking to hold out here for a bit?” He shook his head, walking out of the room and continuing with his previous goal.

by Ali Marks Thu May 11, 2023 3:07 am

Alison continued to discharge her standard issue HiPower on the bugs, just as the power revved on and illuminated the Substation! The remaining creatures hissed and skittered away, backing off as electricity flowed through the fence surrounding the substation now thanks to the officer's genius from earlier with the loose wires! "Hah... ah...ha..." Panted Alison, lowering the Browning, sliding it back onto her hip holster. "Finally... fucking pests...!" She spat, literally, walking over to recollect her gun, one hand bracing her abdomen as she knelt down to pick up the shotgun:

"Ugggh... God I need a medic...!" she spat, feeling blood rolling down her back, down her cheek! She had taken a lot of abuse from the massive insects, but was still alive. "Good job, Khris!" She called up to the man who was her partner's future husband. "Ughh..." She moaned, taking shells from her belt to reload her 870.
