Gauntlet

"Pedro..." Vince called.

"Yes?"

"I thought I told you to search his gear..."

"I did...."

"THEN WHERE IN THE NINE PITS DID HE GET A SQUEALER FROM!?"

".....I do no-"

"It's because you've been gambling too much you're negligent now, aren't you!?"

"....I-It's not like that.... it just.." Pedro stuttered.

"You.... we're gonna have to discuss your punishment when we get back..."

"Don't you mean if!?" I shouted.

"Relax Rookie, you won't die under my watch... Arthur how's the shield coming?" Vince roared, Arthur simply did a thumbs up while his Automaton was chanting in a strange tongue, in next the moment a blueish hive patterned dome enveloped all of us except Bradley...

"Won't he die!?" I asked.

"Nah.... they won't risk touching Brad or that greasy little bitch.... they hate fire afterall....! Hey kid you okay? you looked drained!" Barney bellowed.

"Yeah.... just a little.... hot!" I muttered, seriously it was a million degrees in here! I noticed it when we left the cave but it got worse when Bardley started chucking fireballs at the bio beasts.

"Yeah I feel it too.... though I did warn yah about the jacket.... even under the Armour too!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Anyway, how we gonna get outta here? I doubt Bradley could hold them off for long!"

"Do one of us make a break for Lord Darius? Maybe he'll help?" Barney suggested, everyone fervently shook their heads, myself included!

"You want to disturb him? More so when he's having his biweekly naps? If the Bio beasts won't kill you on your way, Lord Darius surely would!" Arthur's Automaton cried, while Arthur himself shook like a leaf!

"Biweekly naps.... Anyways we can't stay here and hope of the best either!" I stated.

"The Rookie is right.... Our conventional weapons are useless against these creatures.... Running isn't an Option either.... I guess we hold them off with our abilities until something else comes up!" Vince barked.

With that.... He bent over to one of the shadows of the Bio beasts, the one on his right and grabbed it! He grabbed it and pulled with all his might until the shadow started to stretch! The Bio beast.... Bio beast 2 I guess (Haha! That sounds like a bioshock spinoff!) The creature's egg shaped body contorted and squelched as it's shadow was toyed with by our Grumpy orc!

"Its like something outta a scp!" I blurted out, I didn't care though! Hearing and seeing how ridiculous his power were two different things! Yikes! If the bio.... no that thing is definitely feeling pain! The gurgling noises and squirming is a sure sign of it's discomfort!

He stretched and pulled....

He stretched and pulled....

And then he squeezed the shadow until it shrunk to the size of a baseball! Bio beast 2 shrunk with it! He picked the shadow off the ground and swallowed it whole! Bio beast 2 dissapeared along side its shadow!

"Mmmm Tasty!" Vince laughed, it was a rather.... sinister laugh befitting of the torture esque porn he had me witness!

".....Jesus Christ, are you all this savage?" I muttered, Vince frowned at that.... uh oh! He doesn't like that! He looks real mad now!

"Relax Vince! I'm sure it's one of the Kid's.... Slangs! Haha! Probably means cruel or something!" Barney interjected, Yes! Yes it does! Thank you Barney! Vince is starting to mellow down after hearing that!

"....Yeah we really need to know what your story is, the way you talk is too stupid for my liking!" Vince roared, he had this dangerous glint in his eyes, and they were directed at me!

"How many more can you take out?" Pedro asked

".....2 at best before I'm full!" Vince said.

"Hmmm, my powers are useless here, I can only multiply metals... Barney?" Pedro said.

"Same! They'd just gobble up my Doubles... what about you Kid? Arthur? Anything?"

Arthur shook his head, he was already pretty taxed, 4 of the Bio beasts kept slamming into the shield, I guess that was enough to keep his hands tied! The others are being occupied by Vince and Bradley...

What could I do? Dreadline? No.... they'll just bully the poor guy.... The RJs? They'll be a good distraction and they'd be able to keep coming back no matter how many times they're destroyed, added bonus would be their new humanoid form can use swords and spears thanks to Cece.... but I doubt they'd be the right fit here for these behemoths, that leaves....

"Well guess you're up Mr Mothman!" I cried, Mr Mothman(Tentative) The Bug like robot Tattoo on my right palm emerged, It was just as freaky as I remembered him from my dream.... It's deep black eyes stared at me longingly.... awaiting orders.....

"Eh..... try to....I don't know stop one of them!" I said pointing at Bio beast 6.... Mr Mothman raised 4 of its sword like arms and did a salute before flying towards the creature.

"What.... is that supposed to do to it? Tickle him? I'm disappointed in you Junior..." Pedro voiced, Barney nodded in agreement, I decided to ignore them because I noticed something strange about Mr Mothman.... he was small... like really small for an insect, if you didn't notice the distinctive wings of a moth you'd think it was a mosquito at first glance.

One more thing was it's Sword like arms.... they had a certain curve to them.... almost like Sickles but not quite right.... if I had to say they were like...

"Esmarch Plaster Knife..."

"What?" Vince said.

"It's a tool surgeons use..."

"...."

If Dreadline was like my Vanguard and The RJs were like my Infantry, then this Moth would be the closest thing to medical unit I have meaning it's powers needed to be something in that department.... I hope!

Mr Mothman flies straight to one of the eyes of Bio beast 6.... it... it... entered under the skin of the eye! Gross but it's clearly has a game plan or something....

"Kid.... please tell me there's something else in your Arsenal.... maybe that centipede from be-"

"Wait!"

Something is happening bio beast 6! It's shaking like crazy while making obscene sounds.... maybe it's pain but it sounds too.... yeah I'm just gonna imagine it's in pain! Yeah, Way better!

It's contorting its body.... it's shape is changing, it's becoming more streamlined, more sleek... it looks a lot like...

"Mr Mothman!" I Cheered.

Bio beast 6 sets its sights on its other brethen and rains hell upon them! All to the cheer of Me and My team.
