272 The Incredible Nosk

Kevin, who was growling in a defensive posture a few seconds earlier, was now wearing a very funny expression, while Sarah, the only other female fighter in the mix, was as shocked as Jake.

Like him, she had encountered a Nosk before, and she remembered very well the feeling of helplessness one can feel when faced with such creatures. The exchange of pointers between a Nosk and a multicolored Alien Bubble was fresh in their memory and was enough to make them despair back then.

As flabbergasted as Jake was by this absurd turn of events, he hadn't let his guard down. Once the surprise passed, he mercilessly bombed the Nosk stuck in the ground with the needles under his control.
