Chapter 9 A New foe

"This is." is all I could say before we suddenly fell. I heard a splash as we fell.

"What happened?" I question as we landed in a water source like a river.

"We... fell." Blood Stalk stated the obvious.

"Look both ways where we are going." I said as a joke, but I think they took it seriously.

"I... will." Blood Stalk said in a depressed voice.

"Its fine." I said to try and clear the mood.

I looked at the bottle with a black web design in my hand and I recognize it.

"This is a Smash bottle." I stated in surprise. You should only get this from defeating smashes, the monster of the week from the T.V. show. 

"How do we have this?" I asked as the hand puts it back without me telling it to

"Hey, I was looking at that." I said in annoyance.

"Not... a blade." Blood Stalk said as they continued to look for it.

"Where did you put that?" I said as I wanted to continued to look at it to see what the bottle was or if I could use it in some way when something grabed our leg and began to pull is in.

"What." was all I could say before being pulled completely into the water. I hit my head on the way down under water and spin for a few moments.

I could barley see in the water as we begin to submerged in what I thought was a shallow river turned out to be a lot bigger than it appeared.

"Give me a break." I said as it seemed I could speak underwater. I looked for the thing that dragged us down here and I see a light red tentacle looking thing on out right leg.

I tried to aim at it but I might miss and hit our leg so I look for the main body of this thing.

"Is it hiding? I can't see it." I said as I tried to hit the thing latched onto us. It didn't do a lot of damage to the tentacle.

"Ah, whatever." I said as I tried to shoot but the gun didn't fire correctly and the projectiles dissipated before the left the barrel of the gun.

"Are You Kidding Me." I shouted as the gun doesn't work underwater and we keep getting trashed around.

"Got to think, Got to think." I said as there had to be something I could do to get us out of this things grasp. An idea finally hit me as we hit the floor of this river or whatever body of water this was.

"Sting Viper" I shouted as the metallic wire tubs come out of my gauntlets and slash at the tentacle and left some wound on it.

"I think a few more hits and I can get us out of this, lets get some distance from this thing when we get to the surface." I said to Blood Stalk to try and make a plan after we got free.

"Alright, move the legs so we can get out of here." I said expecting a conformation but I got no reply.

"Blood Stalk?" I asked and got no response again.

"Oh my god, they cant breath." I said as I hastily swam to the surface, I seem to have control when Blood Stalk is not.

I breach the surface to get some air and tried to get to shore when something grabs my legs again.

"This is the worst, let go." I said as I freak out and hit the thing on my leg again struggling to make it to shore.

Suddenly my left hand moved out of my control and started to stab the new appendage and hit it with a sizzling sound.

"Out, out, out." I said in an almost chant as we got out of the water in a panic.

"Found... it." Blood Stalk said while breathing heavily as I didn't pay attention to what they said. 

"Good, you ok." I said as I'm glad that Blood Stalk seemed to be able to breath.

"Not... over." Blood Stalk said and I realize what they meant as a creature which I assumed was the one that grabed us.

It was a giant octopus with tentacles and crab claws along its body. There seemed to be yellow orbs and black lines that seemed to move along the crab parts.

"Ah, another beast." I said as the sea creature began to get on shore and we back up to get some distance.

I pointed the gun with my right hand at it and began to pull the trigger, but no bullets came out as only water dripped out of it.

"Come on already." I said as my gun seemed waterlogged and unusable.

"We got nothing, we need to run." I said as Blood Stalk has control over the legs again.

"No... we hunt." Blood Stalk replied ready to attack.

"Again? We don't even have any weapons' this time." I said trying to reason like last time, but I don't think it would matter. 

"We... do." Blood Stalk said as I look at the left hand In front of us.

I see a yellow glowing blade with red switches and valve on it. It also had red, yellow and green wires along the hilt of the blade and a yellow trigger.

"Fine, you won't change your mind anyways, so I will think of a plan." I said relenting to Blood Stalk determined stance.

The beast as made it to shore and the claw hands and tentacles approach 

"Eat your heart out." I said pretending to be brave in front of the onslaught.
