An abomination, I called them that...no many called them that but they are classified as Cpytics...forgein creature from another land or world or dimension or where ever the heck they came from.
The one currently hunting me has a perculiar shape, it's upper body covered in sleck black scales resemble that of a human male, with two robust arms position on both ends. Anything below was that of a serpent as it continues pushed it body within the gaps of the doorway. It had no head...no neck to be a exactly, it was completely alien as far as things went.
Swish!
As I was trying to decipher if it had any form of abnormal tracking abilities.
The black tendrils from it left hand now impaling the chair I was sat in, ripped through the chair making a pathway towards me a few distance away.
"How?"
Thinking so, I leaped just before the tendrils has cutted me apart, neatly performing a tactical roll before hosting the modified handgun up and aiming at the headless Medusa like cryptic.
"It's limbs!"
With a calculated gaze, I pulled the triggered of the gun, sending bullets into it's right hand but before my bullet could strike it, the four tendrils originating from the same hand, moved with alienated agility swifty slicing apart the bullet with precise movement.
Bang! Bang!
I wasn't done thou as right then I shot two more around this time one at the left hand and the other towards its serpentine lower body trying to break into the train car.
As far as marksmanship went I wasn't particularly a prodigy like my archer teammate but as it stood now it was a perfect target with it's enormous build and all that.
"I see!"
Watching my two bullets effortless sliced apart I sighed and just then the tendrils shot at me one's again.
"No sight but It can perceive me."
Leaping as the tendrils impaled the area I was stood in, I placed my gun forth and unloaded another round this time at the tendrils which hit it's mark and shattered one.
"Their not particular durable."
Making a mental note I kept my breath still and slowly stepped back watching as the fragment of tendril I had shoot of fell to the ground.
"They don't seem to be alive either nor do they transfer pain to the target."
Making more observations while keeping track of how my more bullet I had left, I suddenly stomped the ground but the creature pay me no hind as it continuous struggling to break it's lower half into the train car. The force it held as it's serpent torse and everything below colloided into the cargo from behind sent ripples through the moving train but it wasn't that which caught my attention but the fact that the sound I made didn't attract it one bit.
To test a theory of my, I pretended to sigh and just then, the motionless tendrils bent and hacked forward like an axe leading me to duck to avoid being beheaded.
"I see...",
With my head now low, I began to ran forward pointing my gun ahead and shooting my final two rounds with gazed pass it's waist,leaving swallow wound over their.
By then the tendrils were chasing after me so taking out the finished ammo from the hand gun, I tossed the smoking piece of ammo aside and not to my surprise the tendrils diverted their attraction toward me to the ammo and brutal pierced it.
With no time to reload, I toss my gun at the creature and as it bounced of it's body, I took out a black dagger strapped to my waisted, then with a sluggish but potent strike slash at were my bullet had wounded it, tearing deeper into the wound and spraying it's blood onto my face.
"Arghhhh!."
It shrieked it pain raised it's left hand up and toss it around in hope of hitting the being that stabbed it and unfortunately for me I was quiet close so I was hit and the impact of those robust arms crashed into me, I felt I had been hit by a truck as my body was flung up and crashed into the metallic walls that confined the train.
"Cough..."
Spitting out a mouthful of blood I tried keeping my breath in check because the creature used heat signatures to track it's prey but....
"Fuck..."
It hurt like hell. Even if my tactical clothing I got from this job absorbed most of the impact, I was still human and being brutally sent crashing into a wall still hurt.
So I failed to keep my breath in check leading to me being stabbed by the three remianing tendrils .....
Feeling those foreign objects impaled my body I wad glad I made the right judgement in taking out one because it I hadn't, I would have been killed in one strike.
The deeper the tendrils dug into my body the more pain rocket through my body, I felt I was being operated on live without any anesthetic and by a sadist doctor at that.
It hurt so much I wanted to pass out and couples with the already pain I was feeling from having my back smashed into the train wall I knew I was just bidding my time but that sicko didn't want me to die.
I could feel it's presence looming over me, as the tendrils curcled within my body and lifted me up to face the abomination.
I was position right above the area it's head should have been but since it lacked one, all I could see was it's flat shoulder.
"Cough..."
Spitting out more blood which spill on it's shoulder, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine as the scales on its shoulders began to pulse like living veins, bulging and inflating till it popped revealing a deep grosteue tunnel leading down to it's stomach.
Horrified but too weak to struggle my vision soon was flipped upside down with my head position right above the tunnel, it's mouth.
Yes this was a cryptic and not even a month in this job I was about to die.
"I really shouldn't have abadoned my team."
Remembering the faces of the trio I had been assigned to, I sighed and soon my body was dropped.
"I'm sorry."
"You better be."
My savings grace came in those angry words as the abomination was sliced into hundreds of pieces before it could even eat me.
"Isis!"
Falling head face onto the now bloody ground, a hand forcefully grasped my leg leaving me hanging upside down at I started widen eyed at my savior.
