James opened the faceplate. He saw the silhouette of a three headed dog. It had two large ears. A single body and a tail. He thought, maybe not this time. He turned again and saw the silhouette of a large dragon. It had large, imposing horns. A huge body with massive wings. He thought this may be overkill. He turned again and smiled. James slammed the faceplate.
His body was engulfed in a brilliant, pulsating light. The air crackled with energy. James' body distorted, his limbs elongated. In a surge of radiant energy, James` features reshape, and his form took on a colossal, imposing stature. His height increased, his limbs became more robust, and his head changed into a massive, reptilian head. "Humungousaur," Humungousaur said.
"Him again," Saya remarked, her eyes narrowing.
"He looks like a big doggie," Shizuka said with a giggle.
"More like a dinosaur," Rei added, her tone serious.
Humungousaur, towering over them, looked at the Double Tap Perk machine. "I'm going to carry this back to the Humvee and strap it on top," he said, his deep voice rumbling.
"Okay, Danna-sama," Saeko replied. Jasmine nodded in agreement.
"Are you planning to collect them all?" Saya asked.
"Yes," Humungousaur replied.
"Space will be an issue," Saya pointed out..
"We will make it work," Jasmine said, smiling warmly at Saya. There was something about Jasmine's optimism that was infectious. Saya sighed but couldn't help but smile back.
Humungousaur lifted the Perk machine with ease. "So strong," Shizuka said, drooling.
"Lets go," Humungousaur ordered. They all followed Humungousaur down the stairs and out of the barn. Once outside, they all looked around and the sky seemed darker.
"This place is creepy," Shizuka said.
"It is," Jasmine agreed.
"You all can stay here, I will be back," Humungousaur ordered.
"Yes, Danna-sama," Saeko replied immediately. Humungousaur nodded and left towards the Humvee.
"You seem to take every order for him," Rei observed.
"I do, we all do," Saeko replied.
"I don't," Saya said, however her tone was very weak.
"I would follow him," Shizuka added, putting her hand up.
Humungousaur walked back to Humvee where he saw Yuriko and Lois. Both of them trained their guns at the large beast carrying a machine. "It's me James," Humungousaur said.
"James?" Yuriko questioned.
"Yes, it is," Lois replied as she lowered her gun.
"Another one," Yuriko replied.
"Yes," Lois confirmed.
"This is another perk machine," Humungousaur commented.
"Like the one we drank before?" Lois asked.
"The one with the special powers?" Yuriko said.
"Yes, it is," Humungousaur replied. He put the machine down and pressed the button. A bottle dispensed.
Lois walked over and popped the cap open. "It does taste bad," she said as she drank it all down. She wiped her face. "Yes it was bad," she added.
Yuriko saw her drink something from a dodgy machine. "Was it safe?" Yuriko asked.
"The other girls drank it," Humungousaur replied.
"Even my little Saya?" Yuriko questioned. "She is growing too big," she remarked.
"Yuriko, this might allow you to fire your bullets faster," Humungousaur replied.
"Okay," she replied. "But we will run out of ammo," Yuriko said.
"It works well with another one," Lois said.
Yuriko pressed the button and another bottle appeared. She opened the cap and drank it down. "This is awful," she said.
"The taste is not there but it works," Lois replied.
"Yes, it does but some we don't know what they do and even this one is a bit of a mystery," Humungousaur said. Humungousaur lifted the perk machine again. "I am going to put it on the roof of the humvee," Humungousaur added.
"Okay but we won't be able to jump out from the top," Yuriko warned.
"That is fine," Humungousaur said. "We can shoot from the windows like we did before," Humungousaur added.
"Okay," Lois agreed. Yuriko nodded. Humungousaur put the Double Tap Machine on top.
"We can strap it down, you can check on the girls," Lois said.
"Yes, keep them all safe," Yuriko remarked, winking at Humungousaur.
Humungousaur nodded. He picked up the Turbine and carried it back. He saw the girls looking around and chatting amongst themself. He smiled, at least they are getting along he thought. Shizuka was wailing her hands at something.
Humungousaur approached the girls. "There is a shed there which can be opened by this Turbine," he commented.
They all turned around and looked at Humungousaur. "Danna-sama, the last shed opened this way was a trap," Saeko warned.
"It could have ended badly," Saya added, clenching her fist.
"But we did get the Lasso," Jasmine said.
"It is worth the risk, the Lasso is much more powerful and has many more uses," Humungousaur responded.
"Uses," Shizuka said innocently. Saya saighed. Rei giggled.
Humungousaur put the Turbine down and it activated. The shed door swung open. "Aaargaah," a scream heard. They all saw a hulking, monstrous figure with a severely deformed and enlarged right arm. The skin on this arm appeared, cracked, and covered in patches of raw, bloody flesh. His head was twisted into a horrifying expression, with an open mouth revealing sharp, decayed teeth. Its eyes were sunken and lifeless. He wore a tattered blood-stained overalls. His legs were muscular and sturdy.
"A Charger," Humungousaur shouted. Before the girls could react, the Charger barreled towards Humungousaur. With quick reflexes, Humungousaur raised his arms, using it as a shield to block the attack. The impact was immense, pushing him back a few feet but leaving him unharmed.
Rei, with her M4W, aimed and fired at the Charger. She saw some of the bullets deflect off his skin. Saya, targeted the Charger's back with her Ray Gun. The red energy wave struck, causing chunks of flesh to disintegrate. Jasmine, aimed her Red Hawk at the Charger's legs, each shot creating large bullet wounds.
Saeko dashed forward and slashed at the Charger's kneecaps, making the creature stagger. Meanwhile, Shizuka, slightly panicked.
Humungousaur then punched the Charge in the stomach causing it to stumble back. "Grow," Humungousaur said as his body grew in size. He was now taller than the Charger by a considerable amount and punched the Charger in the head. It stumbled backwards. Humungousaur put his fist together and swung them downwards. He hit the Charger`s head again which caused him to fall on his back.
Humungousaur jumped into the air. He put his elbow forward and slammed into the Charger`s chest. It groaned in pain.
Rei changed to the shotgun underbarrel attachment and fired at the Charger`s head. She hit his ear causing a large wound.
"Stay focused, Shizuka!" Saya called out, seeing Shizuka panic.
Shizuka nodded, shaking off her nerves. She raised her shotgun, took a deep breath, and fired at the Charger's head on the other side. There was a similar wound on his ear. Jasmine used her Lasso of Submission and threw it around the Zombie`s neck. At the same time, Saeko jumped in the air. There was a grin on her face as she swung Slasher down and depicted the Charger`s head. The head went rolling away.
"Oh my," Shizuka said, looking at the blood gushing from the body.
Jasmine took back the Lasso. "This is the world which we should get used to," Rei remarked.
"We should but there are others out there," Humungousaur replied. The Ultimatrix symbol started to flash red as there was a bright light and he turned back to James.
Saeko jumped off the body wiping the blood from Slasher. "Let's move on," James said as he walked inside the shed. Saya and Shizuka followed him.
"It is dark," Shizuka remarked.
James walked around and saw a rectangle shaped golden box on the floor. He picked it up and smiled. "Claymores," James commented.
"Claymores, the one you put down, arm and then they go boom once someone walks past," Shizuka said.
"Yes, Rika told you?" James asked.
"I am smart," Shizuka replied, pointing to herself and smiling.
"They could be useful for traps," Saya said.
"They will, let's go and move to the house and get out of here," James stated.
