"Heroes" Pov
{Morgana! Shield me!} screamed her campion as a thunder electric bobble appeared around him
As the man held the beast's attention with his overly large shield, that held within a rotating clock that slowed the best momentum through mysterious means!
With the beast slow and being shocked the man bashed the beast back with his shield! With the beast reeling back another man at the back shot at it with a very peculiar looking rifle that shot out green acidic bullets.
As the bullets melted their way into the beast's flesh, toxic fumes began to steam out of the beast!
With painful howl the beast wouldn't relent and charged again at the man with the shield, when Morgana held her staff in the air with one hand, while her other hand, held a shiny rustic looking book, as both pairs of weapon gears turned, a pillar of lighting descended onto the poor old beast!
As the old dog whimpered from the pain it collapsed! Though broken and bleeding the wolf eyes still retained their unwillingness to surrender! Through bleeding teeth and blood shot eyes it laid there unable to move its old body!
As the humans watched the old dog, the knight carrying the big shield approached the dog, readying his sword to finish off the beast, the beast forced its body up with such force that as the man swung his lit-up sword, he decapitated the dog! But that was part of the old dog's plan! For it never intended to live nor attack the knight in front of it, but rather at Morgana!
Seeing the huge ravaging head coming towards her, Morgana didn't panic, she held her ground and used the last of her core to overclock the gears in her body, dangerous as this was, for it taxed the body greatly! It is still way better than dying! With a physical wall of lighting that strongly manifested itself in front of her, she was able to push it back!
When the head of the beast fell, Morgana took a knee! And with blood sliding down her mouth she told the others she needed to rest now. For so bad was her condition, she didn't even have enough energy to keep her weapon on! For all their weapons require energy from the source core!
As they rested the hunter of the group asked
[Hey! Did you guys feel that…during our fight...] is all he said before getting interrupted by knight
[Yes! I think it's safe to say we all did! Ethan…] replied the knight
[Ya... David is right, whatever that was… I thought it was going to jump us from behind as we fought the Mingan… I haven't felt a hunger like that off a monster in ages… it was so cold…] replied Morgana
[Should I go track it! I believe it was watching us around the tree line over there.] said Ethan while pointing his finger in Breder direction
[No!] said David as he removed the heart of the beast and put it in a jar, then continued
[We finished the job we were assigned, so let's leave the monster hunting for mercenaries or adventures! We need to get this heart back to the doctor before he gets upset, and I don't know about you, but I for one don't want to piss off the only guy in town who can fix us… if you get my meaning.]
Nodding in agreement the three "heroes" continued their way back in town, but as they made their way back to town, they just so happened to run into the investigation team, as they were taking the last of the samples of the crash site.
Interested in what was going on, the heroes stop by Jack truck to inquiry what was the crash about, and of course as soon as Jack recognized, who these people who just came out of the woods, he immediately bowed and told them everything, for people in house Ander ruled over Bredale with an iron fist! A single word from any member could end whole family trees!
After learning of the situation, the members of house Ander realized that whatever it was that was watching them from the tree line must have come from here. With interest perplexed but no time to waste they will just have to come back out here later.
Breder Pov
As Breder and party wonder the woodlands they stumble across a cave hiding in the mountain, interest peaked, Breder when to go check out the situation, hoping the cave was clear for it was getting dark, and sure the dark didn't scar him but carrying five unconscious people, plus a small chest-burster, who needs a safe place to metamorphic, worried Breder.
But when he approached the cave, he was met with a mix of disappointment and excitement! For the cave wasn't abandoned like he originally hoped. Instead, what stood before him was a very tired mother Mingan. Hearing the baby puppies crying just behind her gave all the info Breder needed to know.
Seeing Breder Lick his chops, Layla said:
[whatever you do… do it fast… I think I'm starting to fall asleep; I might be entering that metamorphosis phase you told me about… earlier] said Layla who was fighting the urge to sleep!
Hearing what Layla said only spurred his inner desire to hunt more! Originally, he planned to take his time and plant a face hugger on the mom, but now he just didn't have enough time, he could only hope the babies will be a good replacement!
Since he didn't have time and knew just how ferocious a mother's wrath can be when defending their young, Breder used the quickest method he could think of!
Mom Mingan Short Pov
As dusk settled into the forest around her, the Mingan looked at her pups with loving eyes as she licked and cleaned them while making sure each of them could get their share of mother milk, when her ears perked up! With ears perked she whiffed the air to smell something foreign to her! Concerned, she stood up, only to find the woods around her became eerily quiet… as sunlight faded, she could see two black hands crawl up a tree just mere feet from her!
As the unknown beast revealed itself from the tree, while standing on a branch, the mother knew at that moment this was going to be a fight to the death! For the monster before her, had no love, no compassion or empathy! The only feeling she could feel from it was coldness! No anger, no hunger, just coldness like men's swords!
This was a feeling she had never felt before from any beast she had ever encountered before in her life! Even from the humans who kept hunting their pack till all were gone but her and her mate. Speaking of her mate, he should have been here by now! He went hunting with his brother hours ago! Sure, his brother is old but not that old to not be able to hunt and come back!
But while she was stuck in her mind, the beast in the tree couldn't wait any longer! With a kick from the tree the beast jumped towards her! Thinking quickly the mother bit down hard on the beast shoulder as he lunged at her! Her strong bite cause the beast in her jaws to scream in total agony! But as the blood from her foe poured and spurred into her mouth! She quickly realized what she did was a mistake!
While trying to throw the beast out! The beast only latched on harder! Until her lower jaw melted clean off! With lower jaw missing, the mother raised herself on her hind legs from the sudden pain she felt! As she moved in a drinking stupor her thoughts went to her mate, then to the children!
While she daydreamed of better days, with life flashing before her eyes, Breder impaled her heart through her chest with his tail! When he pulled it out, blood rained like pearls in the sea!
Back to Breder
As Breder stepped over the corpse of the Mingan, with wounds closeing but still dripping blood, he noticed that the baby dogs were the size of fully grown German shepherds! With excitement he summoned five more regular Xeno eggs!
