Chapter 8 : Αλφα (Alpha) Part 1.
The Sandworm's screeching comes to an end, the dizziness is lingering on everyone on the big cavern and the Creatures doesn't panic at all, on the contrary, both are portraying a firm but aggressive stance, as snakes ready to bite.
*Screech*
{That sounds different than before}
I perceived a slight movement above me, watching a long and giant hazel Caterpillar trying to sneak attack us by employing its natural colour as camouflage.

It is hanging on the stone ceiling behind us, and advancing slowly, the superior part of its body descends fast and menacingly with the maw's wide open towards my oblivious pair, the Pink Hair Girl.
I pull her from her right arm with my left hand, forcefully moving her to stand behind my back, avoiding the attack that was about to behead the Pink Hair Girl.
While simultaneously my right hand closes into a fist, hitting the Caterpillar's head downwards, making the Creature to lose its holding grip on the Hazel stone ceiling, falling face first against the stone ground.
I follow up my self-defense with another punch from my left, striking the head of the Caterpillar again and again, a total of seven punches in the span of two seconds.
{I didn't knew i was this fast, and the creature posess an exoskeleton, but it is not too resistant, the sensation is no different than braking a beer can with bare hands, started as a bet on highschool and becomes a tradition that reaches mt Professional Lacrosse Team, *Sigh*, those were good days}
My rambling doesn't last for long, as i punch the Caterpillar once again to ensure that really is death, splattering the contents of its head by deforming it severely.
{I overdid it, maybe i have a lot of repressed fury for the events that i go through prior to arriving at this place, plus the sudden attack, there is no way anyone can keep their cool}
—Are you injured?.
I hurriedly ask to the Girl, turning to see her with more attention, her pink hair is short, the height is about half a meter less than me, but her irises, wow, they are a beautiful lilac that glows with a lot of intensity.
{Why all the eyes i look at now appear to be so beautiful and captivating?}

—I did not receive any harm thanks to your intervention Mister Korvac.
—Good, but there is no need to thank me, we are teammates.
I comment to her while observing what is happening around us, the "Veterans" from both Teams are fighting against the two Sandworms with clear disadvantage even when is an 8 versus 2.
The Level 1 Sandworm has gained a chitinous plated white exoskeletal skin that is more robust than the one of the Caterpillars, receiving little to no damage from the punches and kicks that lands on it.
The opposite outcome transcurr with the Level 2 Sandworm, is faster, flexible, agil and skillfully dextrous, avoiding all incoming aggressions while striking an occasional bite on its attackers.
Lastly, there is other two attacks from Caterpillars to other pairs blocking the exits, one of the members die instantly being beheaded, while the other pair has one Integrant with an injured forearm.

{The numbers on the names keep appearing a lot, but this time gives me a different vibe, wait, couldn't be like an internal rank, or maybe my instincts have located more threats nearby but consciously i am unaware of them, that is feasible, and if so…}
»—Do not get fooled or lured by the Sandworms, there has to be at least 6 more Caterpillars hiding here.
My warning is timely, informing the remaining 16 people on the team, not including me, spiking their senses to be more cautious.
A trend that is immediately useful as other three Caterpillars attempt sneak attacks, two backing up the Sandworms and the last one unfortunately catches from its back another teammate of the pairs, killing him with an accurate bite that chomps and devours his nape.
Vinnval is near the event, being shorter than the victim almost by a meter, having the necessity to jump upwards to smash the head of the bug, pulverizing it in the motion, exploding the Caterpillar head's before it falls onto the ground.
{Holy smack dude!, How strong it is this Vinnval to be able to do that?!, especially with how small his body frame is!}

Checking the newfound attackers that reveal themselves, i decode the pattern, as the Caterpillars are eliminated by the Veterans, receiving injuries caused by the two Sandworms in the process.
»—There are only other 8 Caterpillars hiding!.
My estimated has to be precise, because gets the attention of the Level 2 Sandworm, who looks its sight directly on me, executing a spitting gesture.
A solid obsidian projectile surrounded by white marble energy travels moderately fast towards me, a bit above of what an illegally modified version of a Gotcha Rifle could do.
The threatening sensation is so disgustingly penetrating that i attempr to avoid the danger by moving slightly to my right.
The shot still manages to burns my left cheek just by the proximity of its trayectory, piercing my left ear as if were made of clay.
*Ahhgh*
I lost my balance with the impact and almost fall to the stone ground, the pain i feel and the ringing sound that i hear is intense, the slight burn from friction on the cheek is annoying with the itching that generates, and touching my wounded ear allows me to lear that most of it dissaper, and it is still bleeding but not too much due the burning effect of the ammunition.
The surprise on my face has to be a lot, and glancing to the Pink Hair Girl on my side, i saw her lilac eyes glowing with more brightness than before as the expression on her is obviously enraged.
She points out her right hand at the Level 2 Sandworm and creates out of nowhere a small bulllet of lilac light, shooting it against my attacker with a speed that surpass the sound barrier.
A direct hit strikes directly the Creature, or something like that, because a white transluscent ethereal coating surrounds its body silhouette, dissipating the lilac bullet so the Sandworm remains unharmed of the impact.
Gasps are sounds from almost everyone across the cavern, i am not too sure about what is the exact reason it is not clear enough for me to determined if is due to the lilac attack of light made by the Pink Hair Girl or the immaterial transluscent marble white protection of the Level 2 Sandworm.
The latter gets firmer in a posture that resembles the meme "What is that?, a Rival", followed by another spitting motion against the Pink Hair Girl.
She gets blasted by the projectile, but the lady never ceases to amaze us, since she is also capable of employing the immaterial protection to coat her body, but hers is not in a white marble translucent tone if not on a glowing lilac shade like the one on her eyes.
However, the bullet still keeps its advance, bypassing the protection, of course, with a greatly diminished velocity, hitting the Girl on the stomach.
*Ahhh*, the sound of her scream of pain is somewhat enticing and lewd, but that only managed to redden her cheeks in shame, flaring up her fury and conviction, repaying the aggression with the same treatment plus interests, launching lilac bullets of light from her both hands with a high accuracy between the Teammates in front and the avoiding movements of the Level 2 Sandworm.
—Clear the way and give her some space so she can take out the Level 2 Sandworm, meanwhile lets eliminate the other one and the Caterpillars first.
Urlgrend command is followed promptly by the others changing the approach of the fight.
Taking into account that i have no place in this all-out shooting between the Sandworm and the Pink Hair Girl, who has proved is more than capable of guarding this exit on her own.
I move to the side towards where i think another Caterpillar is waiting patiently to attack, sprinting with all my might and striking the wall with a punch, letting out some Caterpillar's fluids accompanied with a short screech that is silenced with my follow up punches, venting some steam and anger on each blow delivered to kill the Caterpillar.

The exoskeleton of this Caterpillar is sturdier than the previous ones, still a coating of transluscent aqua green started shine on my hands amplifying the the damage i deal to my adversary.
