Chapter 4 - A Not so Friendly forest

With the creature's incredible speed, he quickly caught up with John. As the monster was about to stick its dagger-like teeth into him, John instantly jumped back, bearly avoiding its attack. The creature sped past John, hitting several trees and the process as it stumbles around. John continues to run. Once again, weaved past trees, the creature barely missed him as it tries to stop itself from hitting more trees.

"What do I do? It's just going to keep on chasing me, and it appears like it has a lot of stamina. So running away is out of the picture." John said to himself in a worried tone of voice.

While he continues running, he feels a sharp pain on the left side of his body. He then got lunch to the right. As the right side of his body hits one of the trees making a large cracking sound. John staggers, to sit himself up.

John slowly turns over to find the creature fifteen feet in front of him. "Just my luck, I'm about to die to this piece of shit. Hey! Any god out there who wants to lend me a hand!" John yells out angrily. As the creature bolts towards John, he can smell his hot, disgusting breath that smells of corpses. He sees flesh and rotten meat in it's teeth, for a second everything was slow.

As that second ends, he sees the creature flies off to his right. "That's what you get for not finishing what you started, you bastard!" Three yells out to the monster.

"You're alive, also is your arm okay?" John says as he watches Three's arms hang on what seems like a string of muscle.

"I'm good what we should be worried about is that I have one less leg. Also, there are only two of us to fight this." John's clone says

"Yeah you're right, but did you realize the monster's powers? Because I think I did." John asked.

"Yeah, I did notice super strength and speed. But that's not its only power. Super hearing it seems like, control of his bones" said Three.

"Well, here's the plan. I will step behind you, and then as the creature runs up towards us, we'll jump over it. As we do so, you'll through your arm forty to fifty feet away so it will hear the impact of your arm hitting the tree." John says quietly as both of them watch the creature struggling to get up.

"First of all, wouldn't it hear us hit the ground when we try to jump over it, which leads to the second issue trying to run when it hits the tree?" Three asked while he looks at his missing right leg.

"No, I won't be running, it can hear footsteps, after all, we will have enough distance so that you can run and distract him and then find a rock to repeat the process until your are far away from me." John whispered.

"Oh, you want to lure it away from you," Three replies as they both see the creature finally on his feet as it begins to stretch. John then quickly gets behind Three. Then in a split second, the creature launches itself at them. In haste, they both jumped as Three barely jumps over the beast with his one leg. Three quickly throws his arm while they fall to the ground, as they hear the loud bang of the arm hitting the tree.

"Sixty feet away, that's good now. We wait for the creature to follow the noise," John says as he hears the creature lunging toward the arm.

"What the hell? I thought it would take longer for it to recover... was I wrong?" said John to himself as he falls to the ground."

"I need to find Pone, that's the only way for him to survive." Six see to himself as he continues to run. While he runs, he sees Pone fifteen feet up ahead. "Pone it's me, Six, I need your help!" Six yells out. "What is it?" Pone asked as they finally met up.

"My original body is in danger, and we need to save him." Six says as he gasps for air.

"What do you mean by the original body?" Pone asked in confusion.

"I'm a clone, and my body is a danger, he's straight ahead of you, it might take around three to five minutes to get there if you run fast.

" Six replies to Pone, "No, it's okay. I can make it in one minute." Pone said confidently,

"Oh right, I need you to kill me, and the reason for that is when a clone dies, all of our memories go back to our original body. So please kill me." Six asked. "Understood, I will kill you." Pone agreed as with one strike from his scythe; six head come clean of.

"So just a minute, huh shouldn't be too hard, after all, we just need to stay quiet," John says while he watches the monster runs towards the direction and then stops twenty feet ahead of him. The creature starts to look around, he then launches itself at Three, ripping his right arm off.

"Wait, what... How did he rip off three's arm? Did he make a noise? No, that can't be it, but how then?" John says to himself. While Three stands there covering his mouth as he's unable to do anything.

"It rips off my arm, good damn my left arm." Three explained to himself

"We need to last just one minute, but Three is not going to last that long with one leg. I need time to make more clones." John said to himself as he starts making clones. Three looks down to see John concentrating.

"I guess he has a plan, so my job right now is to protect him." Three says to himself as he hops off to his right while the creature tries to attack him. He continues to jump above him as the spike's in the creature's back and arms get longer.

He continues jumping around as the creature as the beast speeds up his attack. Three began to get more and more tired to the point where the spikes grazed his head. As he jumped up, the creature shot out its spikes towards him. As most of them scratch him, three of them hit him.

"Damn it John, hurry up already; I can't last any longer against this beast." Three say to himself. They both stand there, both confused of the other well. Three begins to hop away from the beast as it chases him and flings its spikes at Three.

"I'm done!" John yells out to see three clones of himself. The first one resembles him the most besides it not having any hair. The second one has four arms, two on each side, and finally, the last one has bones coming off its back and arms. John sees Three's head in the creature's mouth as it drops it to the ground. And without step the monster crushes Three's head making blood and chunks of Brain fly out. John groans in pain as he holds his head.

You guys know what to do! Attack it!" John commands bravely. His clones charged at the creature, and the creature then grows bigger just as John can do. The beast gets on both of its legs as it darted at the clones, and starts ripping each clone's heads off.

"Fuck. Why weren't they able to last as long as Three?" Said John as he collapsed on the ground. He hears the creature's footsteps, and before he knew it, he sees the creature jump. John lies there as the creature soars closer and closer. He then watches the frightening creature burst off to his left. As he quickly looks over, he sees the beast pinned into the tree by a spear.
