Why is there nothing here?' the complains as it continues to go in the wrong direction. It was Constantly pulling itself down the metal hallway as fast as possible, searching for more flesh to eat. Only having two tendrils at its disposal, it moves with unnatural speed. Constantly spewing out a tendril grabbing the ceilings wall and floor in a spiral pattern making sure it doesn't miss anything until it hits the steaming metal pipe.
[Minion (unnamed) has taken damage -5 hp]
[Minion (unnamed) hp 70/75]
A yellow screen appears in front of it, 'Just what do these odd numbers mean exactly? Does my creator have one too?' it thinks to itself. Looking around, it notices a lot of destruction and burns marks and a vent that looks as though it was blown up with some chunks of burnt flesh everywhere.
Not sure why there was such a thing there, it curiously formed a mouth before eating a small piece about as big as a fist.
[Minion (unnamed) has eaten 1lb of burnt creator's flesh +5 health]
The little one lurches, and the only mouth it has bites down so hard it looked as though the teeth were about to break from the intense pressure as a feeling of pure rage took over 'Who hurt my creator!' frantically looking around its eye flickered red and its vision got blurry. The little one quickly lashes out at the wall next to it with a tendril making a whip-like motion causing numerous slashes against the wall peeling away the metal.
Finally venting its rage, a puff of steam exits its mouth as it sees significant gash marks where it struck the wall. Finally, looking down, it begins to think clearly,' I will do everything I can to get my creator out of here, but why do I have a feeling something was off?' then it remember what its creator said 'I need you to help scout the way ahead for me and leave behind as many corpses as you can, right now we are prisoners in this place and need to escape' is all it remembered. A feeling of dread came over it.
'I went the wrong way!' it thought it looked at the open vent. 'I might be able to get more speed if I go down this way. Man, it will be awkward seeing it again. It quickly moved into the vent before shooting itself as fast as possible.
'Just what could that be' quickly stopping at a vent cover before peering through. a few minutes passed of the same repeating scene when it began hearing the rush of footsteps. The group of people stopped when one of them screamed, "Wait," when another one of them seem to look with practically no color in him, dripping with sweat yells back, "what is it?"
The first person takes a container filled with something to their mouth before speaking, "Anyone notice how that thing only attacked us after we mentioned the bombs? is it possible for it to have any intelligence?"
Looking at the group below, it was noticed that many of them were all panting and spread out. It looked for a target finding one furthest from the group leaning against the wall while everyone was looking at the two talking and listening to the conversation. 'Seems as though some creatures got past my creator by accident, I should bring as many as I can back to make up for my blunder,' it thought, not wanting to waste such an opportunity, it quietly popped up the vent covering before quietly making its way toward the individual.
Still listening to the conversation, one of them continues speaking, "Listen, why would it try to hide from us in the vents when it could've come after us at any moment? Why did it only get Robert after we talked about blowing it up? A mindless animal wouldn't know what we were saying, and that thing is smart, and who knows how long it has been watching us from the vent."
One of the larger ones, finally managing to catch their breath, then spoke, "wait, are you saying this thing can understand what we are saying?"
The creature, finally making it above its target, quickly using one of its tendrils to cover the man's head before lifting him into the air. Before making a largemouth eating him in one bite, not letting a drop of blood left.
[Minion has consumed foreign flesh +158 max hp +158lbs]
Happy about its increase in size, it quickly looks at another soldier nearby with their back still turned away; oblivious to what happened, the Minion began to head over to its next victim.
Another one cries out loud, "Game over man, Game over, how can we fight something that keeps growing bigger and bigger? We're all going to die here, aren't we?"
The Minion quickly then uses a tendril to wrap around the man's body before rapidly drawing him in its mouth in under a few seconds. 'This is going to go bad fast; I need to get rid of as many of them as possible.' when an idea came to mind, quickly heading to its next victim.
One of them then shouts, "I don't know, but what I do know is that it knows that explosives and maybe even fire are dangerous to look around you. Doesn't this look like one of those scenes from a horror movie? We should assume the worst-case scenario that it is either intelligent or it has already experienced combat with the bravo 7."
It formed a mouth, quickly tearing a hole in the man's back before heading inside, quickly devouring him from the inside out, making him twitch in and spasm as his bones, muscles, and organs were being eaten at a rapid rate, making him fall on his back covering the hole.
"Hey, we got a man down over here!" a soldier says, looking down to his fallen comrade.
Another man shouts, "support his head and hold him down. He is having a seizure!" before rushing towards himself only to be stopped by another soldier yelling at him, "you fool, stop, something isn't right."
Five other soldiers nearby grab the convulsing man's limbs and support his head as much as they could while pieces of bone and blood popping out of him.
The Minion only thought, 'They should've listened' as it forms two tendrils going out of the man's chest quickly going in one eye to the other of each soldier forming mouths on each one hollowing their insides adding more to its main body leaving nothing but skins behind. The last man was unfortunate, only having lost one eye. The creature transfers itself into the man causing him to inflate like a balloon taking over its lungs and vocal cords to communicate, saying "res.... for.... creator" before a yellow eye that was initially in the eye hole looks at them while the other one gets eaten.
A man with a minigun lets out a hail of bullets on the creature while a tendril comes out with numerous mouths and teeth, quickly tried blocking or catching the shots.

Another one desperately screams, "What are you waiting for? A great invitation shoots the bastard!"
Not waiting, a few of them start screaming and shooting their guns at the Minion. Another one then hit another square in the face glaring before saying, "Do your job." At the same time, a fatter soldier runs down the hallway, leaving them all behind.

'This is going to be annoying,' the Minion thought, trying to reduce the damage it was taking as much as it could from the onslaught of bullets forming another tentacle with mouths and eyes outside the skinsuit before saying gurgling blood, "ki... them... all." The Minion begins walking forward with inverted knees as it quickly starts getting thinner. In contrast, the tendrils reach more prominent before one of them quickly extends, piercing the soldier with the minigun straight in the chest.
It begins eating the man's heart and organs out, causing the man to cough up blood and bits of matter before screaming, "Get out of here. This isn't something we can beat!" before suddenly he is pulled directly into the walking corpse where it bisects into a massive maw before eating him. He screams in agony as his flesh, blood, and bones breaking with every bite.
[Minion has consumed foreign flesh +136hp +217 max hp]
"Fall back!" one of them finally shouts as he watches his group get decimated by the creature.
The Minion, just about ready to go after them, suddenly lost a portion of its sight when a message showed. 'What happened?' is all it thought as a yellow screen reveals itself.
[Minion has taken damage from sniper -20 health – 10 max hp]
It quickly pushed new flesh in the open wound to regain some vision to look for its attacker when another takes off a chunk of its bicep.
[Minion has taken damage from sniper -30 health – 15 max hp]
Quickly noticing that the shots are coming back from which it came from, it promptly used its tendrils to pull itself up off the ground and into the vent as the soldiers kept shooting at it. Quickly noticing its lack of vision due to the skin, it quickly eats the rest of the corpse before throwing the skin away down below.
The creature focused entirely on killing this enemy rapidly rattles in the ventilation shaft when after a few minutes, it sees a glimpse of the fat man carrying a large rifle running down the hallway. The creature angrily thinks, 'oh no, you're not getting away from me'' It quickly exits the vent then immediately lunges at the man taking his left arm off. The man screams as the pain of losing a limb is intense.
[Minion has taken healed 22 hp]
The only thing the Minion thought in that one moment was, you're going to pay for that'' Before generating two tendrils and numerous mouths over its central mass before eating the man alive. His screams echo throughout the hallway as he slowly devours, warning his comrades of what is to come.
