Tremors 3 back to perfection

Sean slowly got up from his bed with a groan before a pair of arms wrapped around him.

"Come back to bed." A tired female voice said making him turn and smiled seeing Tea in the nude.

"Sorry honey but I've got work to do." Sean said making her pout before he left for work.

Later

"HA!" Sean laughed seeing Burt on TV killing dozens of Shriekers with his new anti air cannon.

"I say this is a perfect test run." Lane said turning off the TV. "Now hopefully this is the last time we have to deal with these abominations." Lane said.

"I hope so. Goddamn department of interior has been on my ass for killing these things lately." Sean said before heading to the door.

"Where are you going?" Tom asked.

"To Perfection It's my week off and I want to spend some time back in the old town for a while." Sean said leaving.

Later

Sean drove straight to Perfection where Burt and Talbot were at.

As he parked his motorcycle he saw that Walter's niece Judi had gone a little far with the whole Graboid franchise.

"Oh boy." Sean said before seeing a building called perfection valley Ranchettes. "The hell." Sean said before Miguel parked right next to him.

"Hey Sean long time no see." Miguel said.

"Hey Miguel. What the hell is that?" Sean asked.

"Oh just some real estate guys out of Reno. They want to cut up the valley into parcels." Miguel said.

"That'll be a cold day in hell." Sean said.

"Burt and I said the same thing." Miguel said before Sean went inside seeing Talbot, Burt, Heather and Judi.

"Sean welcome back." Judi said.

"Well, this place has changed a lot since the last time we were here." Sean said.

"Hey if you're not three steps ahead your one step behind." Judi said.

"So I see. You're definitely doing better then Walter did when he was alive." Sean said seeing the various comic books on Graboids and shriekers along with numerous other things.

"By the way did you guys happen to get any parts from the Graboids or Shriekers out in Mexico?" Judi asked.

"Honey I think your overdoing this a little." Heather said.

"Heather this stuff is our claim to fame." Judi said.

"You trying to turn the valley into a theme park?" Sean asked.

"Don't you own dozens?" Judi asked making Sean snort in amusement.

"Dozens and one under construction A new sea world park." Talbot said.

"Well, this is a theme park kinda lady." Judi said showing a tour guide pamphlet with a woman. She had white skin light brown hair and brown green eyes.

"Desert Serenity Wheeler? Who's this?" Sean asked. (Serenity from Yugioh people)

"She moved in last month and has started this tour business." Judi said.

"I don't believe this." Sean said.

Later

"Hey, Sean." Mindy said walking towards him.

"Hey, Mindy I thought you were in college?" Sean said.

"Mom didn't tell you? I had to drop out we couldn't afford the tuition." Mindy said.

"Why didn't she tell me? I would have paid for it myself." Sean said.

"Thats what I said but she said she doesn't want to a burden as she said." Mindy said.

"Oh for the love of..." Sean said going into the store. "Nancy why didn't you tell me you couldn't afford the tuition you know I would have paid for it myself." Sean said.

"I know but you have a lot on your hands right now." Nancy said.

"Not enough that I cant help a friend." Sean said.

"Look honey it's our problem not yours." Nancy said walking out making him sigh.

"Stubborn woman." Sean said.

"I heard that." Nancy said making him sigh before walking back out as Serenity arrived with her tourists.

"Sean? Sean Ashburn Kruger?" Serenity asked.

"Oh so your Serenity. Look Honey I'd love to chat but I've got work to do." Sean said driving on his bike.

Later

The Graboid alarm went off all over the valley.

"Burt! Please tell me this is just a test." Sean asked.

"Negative. We've got another Graboid problem." Burt said making him sigh.

"I don't believe this." Talbot said in annoyance.

"Get back to town so we can go over the facts." Burt said.

"Yeah, yeah." Sean said getting on his motorcycle while Talbot got in his truck.

Later

"Far as we can tell theres only three of them this time." Sean said.

"How can you tell?" Judi asked.

"The last time they appeared I asked Rhonda to set up some seismic equipment to monitor the valley. Shows three signals from three different locations at the same time." Talbot said.

"So what do we do?" Serenity asked.

"Sorry honey but your little tour is over." Sean said.

"Sean we're not cut off this time." Nancy said.

"Oh no. No fucking way. If we call for help the department of the interior will come here and fuck up the situation." Sean said.

"He's right. We handle this ourselves." Talbot said.

Next morning

A small toy truck drove by the group as Sean controlled it.

"Did you reach Roland and Turok?" Burt asked.

"Roland took Turok on one of his safaris in Australia. They wont be back for a week. We're on our own." Sean said.

"I am getting paid for these right?" Judi asked before Sean handed her a few hundred bucks. "I'll take that as a yes." Judi said.

"Alright lets...Aw hell." Sean said as a few trucks approached. "Nancy!" Sean said annoyed.

And sure enough the Government people suspended all Graboid hunting acts till one of them could be captured.

"I didn't know they would force us to leave." Nancy said to Sean who looked at her annoyed.

"Sure." Sean said sarcastically. "Just like you didn't bother to call me for help with Mindy's college tuition. Do you not ever listen?" Sean asked annoyed.

"Honey calm down." Heather said.

"No in not going to calm down. I dealt with these things twice and now their back where it began and we cant do shit." Sean said completely furious.

"Hold on. They said they wanted one alive. What if we get them one?" Serenity asked.

"Where are you going with this?" Sean asked before she held up a toy truck. "Oh I get you now." Sean said.

"What?" Talbot asked.

"We use this to lure one of the damn things and when it swallows it the worm will fall asleep with whatever drug we use." Sean said.

"Thats not a bad idea." Burt said.

"I have my moments." Serenity said.

Later

Sean and Burt were getting everything ready to trap one of the Graboids when someone parked next to them.

"Goddamn feds I told them to but out." Burt said.

"I think thats someone else." Sean said as a man walked out of the car.

"Burt, Sean long time no see." The man said before they recognized him.

"Mel?" Sean said surprised.

"Yup. It's been what? 13 years? Both of us turned out successful." Mel said handing him a card.

"What a second your that Real estate guy?" Sean asked.

"And you'd said I would never amount to anything." Melvin said.

"Come on Melvin you grey up here." Sean said.

"Exactly. Do you realize how good I can turn this place for families give thousands of jobs to other. Now don't tell me that isn't a good thing." Melvin said.

"I like this place the way it is." Sean said beofre the monitor beeped showing a Graboid close by. "Don't move Graboids." Sean said.

"Graboids?" Melvin said before Sean shushed him. "Are you serious?" Melvin asked before Sean glared at him just as a Graboid came out of the ground. Melvin quickly got in his car and drove off while Burt who got stuck in a barrel was eaten.

"BURT!" Sean yelled before sighing as the Worm was out of sight before his Walkie was heard. "Yeah?" Sean said.

"We have a problem." Burt said making Sean widen his eyes.

"Burt?" Sean said surprised.

"Don't have much air. I need you to get the Graboid to follow you to my place and cut him open." Burt said.

"Uh. Let me see what I can do." Sean said getting in his truck and drove off making all kinds of noise before the Graboid followed him. "If I have to do this one more time I swear I'm calling in a nuclear blast." Sean said before he approached Burt's house and drove right though the gates and the Graboid slammed right into the concrete wall. "Aw crap." Sean said before heading into the shed and got a shovel and chainsaw.

Heather driving up to her home got out of the car just as Sean used the chainsaw.

"Sean! What the hell are you doing?" Heather asked before Sean pried open the Graboid letting Burt out making Heather widen her eyes.

"I prefer we don't speak of word of this to anyone." Burt said in disgust.

"I'm good." Sean said.

Later

Heather had decided to go out of town till this was all said and done while Serenity stayed with Nancy, Mindy and Judi.

"Hey is that a Graboid?" Miguel asked seeing one on the screen.

"Yes but we should be seeing two of them." Burt said as Sean and Talbot pulled up in their old truck. "Have any of you heard from the feds? I cant raise them." Burt said.

"Not since this morning. They were chasing one of the Graboids." Talbot said.

"They were chasing it? It wasn't chasing them? I don't like that." Burt said.

"Uh guys." Sean said seeing of the feds walking to them before falling to the ground dead with a large amount of cuts on his body.

"Shriekers?" Talbot asked.

"Yup." Sean said before getting his laptop out. "Good news is we wont need any seismic readings to find them." Sean said getting thermal readings of seven Shriekers.

"Theres already seven of them." Burt said.

"Lets go." Sean said as they drove off to find and kill them.

Later

"Lets get another reading." Talbot said before seeing on the screen there were eight of them this time. "Damn they're multiplying like hell." Talbot said.

"Good news is that they're heading for that box canon down here." Sean said pointing to his right before hearing something and saw a Graboid destroyed their truck. "GRABOID!" Sean yelled making them rush to the rocks. A graboid with white skin came out of the ground.

"El Blanco." Miguel said before it went under.

"Aw hell it's an instant reply of what happened 13 years ago." Talbot said.

"Oy." Sean said.

"Sean you or Talbot got your Walkie's?" Burt asked.

"No their in our truck. Wheres yours?" Sean asked making him sigh in annoyance.

"On my hood." Burt said.

"Great." Sean said.

12 hours later

"Ok i've had enough of this." Sean said.

"Burt try this." Miguel said as he handed him a hand crafted fishing pole with dental floss. "Dentil Floss I always carry it." Miguel said making him chuckle before quickly grabbing the Walkie.

"Nancy, Mindy, Anyone come back." Burt said on the radio.

"Burt?" Mindy said.

"Mindy we're pin down by this great white Graboid and need an assist." Burt said.

"You want Noise Burt? I copy that." Mindy said before playing some very loud music.

"That'll work." Sean said before Burt threw the Walkie to Sean who threw it even farther by at least a couple miles.

"Nice work." Burt said as the Graboid followed it giving them the chance to get their weapons and used an empty heavy box to make Burt's truck move on its own making the Graboid follow it.

Soon they went into the valley where the Shriekers started making some strange new noise.

"The hell are they doing?" Talbot asked.

"Always something new with these things." Sean said before Burt lite one of his home made bomb before throwing it at them and exploded.

"Well at least he hasn't lost his touch." Talbot said before they went to finish them off only to find nothing.

"Where are the remains?" Sean asked.

"Uh hey." Miguel said pointing to the rocks seeing some kind of husks of some kind each one in the shape of a shrieker.

"What they do now? Shed their skin?" Talbot asked.

"I don't like that at all." Sean said narrowing his eyes.

"Think they went underground?" Talbot asked.

"Somehow I doubt that." Sean said before they left to find Burt's truck only to find it flipped over and on fire.

"Oh Burt. I really liked that truck." Miguel said.

"Well..." Burt tried to say.

"Hey whats that?" Talbot asked seeing something moving behind the fence. What came out looked much different then a shrieker. (Look up Assblasters from the movie series)

"Oh come on not again." Sean said.

"Shrieker?" Talbot asked.

"Not anymore." Miguel said.

"Sean, Frank, Turok, Roland and I killed them under 12 hours in Mexico and Argentina." Burt said.

"So this is what happens when you don't? They just keep mutating?" Talbot asked.

"How the hell should we know?" Sean asked before the same heat sensor appeared on its head. "And the fucking thing still has the same heat sensor." Sean said aiming Quint's old riffle at it only for it to growl at them.

"Like to see it get all the way up here." Talbot said before it started shaking its behind. "The hell is it doing now?" Talbot asked before a small explosion came from its behind and flew above them.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me!" Sean yelled in disbelief before firing at it in the head making it crash down on the fence.

"Nice shot. Hey wait thats the same riffle you had 13 years ago." Burt said recognizing it instantly.

"Never leaves my side Burt." Sean said before jumping down to the dead body and pulled it off the fence and saw something that made his eyes widen. "Hey guys you better come look at this." Sean said getting them to rush down to him.

"What is it?" Burt asked before Sean pulled something out of it revealing it to be an egg.

"I think I know how this works now. First comes the Graboids then the Shriekers then these new things and they lay the eggs for the Graboids." Sean said.

"Makes sense. They fly towards a perfect spot to lay the egg." Talbot said before noticing two liquids red and white and touched each other before catching on fire.

"And thats how they blast off. Two separate chemicals in the hind end to give them enough power to fly off." Sean said before standing up.

Later

The group headed for Burt's home before they finally arrived.

"Talbot I need you to give me the bases frequency so we can call for help." Burt said.

"It wont work out here." Talbot said.

"Why not?" Miguel asked.

"We told you 13 years ago we don't use radios like these anymore everything is digital now." Sean said before a now named assblaster came through the roof.

"This way into the safe room." Burt said leading them into a secure room before shutting and sealing the door.

"What is all this food?" Talbot asked seeing lots of supplies in here.

"Worse. MRE's." Sean said making him chuckle.

"Whats wrong with MRE's?" Burt asked.

"Do I really need to answer that?" Sean asked. "The only good news is that I think its safe to say that these creatures can only multiply when they remain shriekers." Sean said before the Assblaster started melting the door.

"I don't want to take chance. Here." Burt said leading them to an escape hatch.

"Burt I..." Sean tried to say before Burt pushed him down. "YOU ASSHOLE!" Sean yelled before Talbot and Miguel joined him before Burt put a gas can by the melting door.

"Trick or Treat you son of a bitch." Burt said before going down the hatch and joined the others just as the house exploded.

"Burt?" Nancy called on the radio.

"Now what?" Burt asked.

"Burt, where have you been? We've been trying to reach you. You wont believe it." Nancy said.

"No, try me." Burt said.

"These flying shriekers we got one. It ate half the food in the store till it past out." Nancy said making his eyes widen.

"No, No! They multiply." Burt said.

"Not these ones. Just feed it...Burt?" Nancy called while Burt was absolutely speechless.

"Uh Nancy you probably should have called about ten minutes ago since uh...Burt kinda blew his house up to kill one so it wouldn't eat his food." Sean said. "I told you Burt." Sean said.

"I am not in the mood for this." Burt said annoyed.

"Uh shouldn't we worry about El Blanco?" Talbot asked.

"Nope. With all that noise he should have been driven far away." Sean said before a group fo Assblasters appeared. "Well fuck. Nice going Burt." Sean said before seeing a boat and a blue tarp. "I guess Turok was right. Nature does provide." Sean said before they got on the boat and drifted down the hill to the junkyard hitting a sign.

"What the?" Burt said before seeing a billboard with Melvin on it. "The little turd." Burt said.

"Uh oh." Sean said seeing an Assblaster above them just as it saw them making them run.

The assblaster landed on the other side of them before Sean and Talbot pushed some junk on it crushing.

"Now what?" Miguel asked before the rest approached them.

"In here." Sean said as they rushed into an old trailer.

"If I had at least one gun I could kill them all." Burt said.

"We have everything we need here." Sean said.

"The hell are you talking about?" Burt asked.

"Burt this is a junkyard theres tons of stuff we can use to make a weapon strong enough to kill them." Sean said.

"Like what?" Burt said.

"Well I was thinking of a unique potato gun but instead of potatoes we shoot a flaming arrow." Sean said.

"That could work." Miguel said.

"Ok what do we need?" Burt asked.

"Well for one we need something with alcohol to launch to arrows. The rest of the pieces are simple enough. Come on lets go." Sean said as they left the trailer and went to find the parts.

As they were looking for parts a large explosion occurred.

"HA FUCK YOU!" Talbot yelled.

"Glenn what the hell did you do!" Sean asked.

"I got one! He blew his ass up!" Talbot yelled.

"Nice!" Sean said impressed.

"Don't get cocky that still leaves three." Burt said.

"Yeah, Yeah I know." Talbot said before finding some pipes.

Later

The group soon made it back to the trailer.

"We got everything?" Burt asked.

"More then enough." Sean said beginning to put everything together till it was finished.

"How many times have you done this?" Miguel asked.

"A couple dozen times." Sean said.

"Do we have a lighter?" Talbot asked.

"Burt does." Sean said.

"How do you know?" Burt asked making him look at him with the I know you look. "Damn right I do." Burt said pulling out a lighter just as an Assblaster appeared.

"Loaded." Talbot said inserting an arrow with a flaming rag.

"Wait for it." Sean said waiting for the right time before it came into sight. "Now!" Sean yelled firing the arrow at it making it blow up due to the chemicals in its body and in the process some of the flaming guts landed on another Assblaster making it blow up as well. "HA! Double kill." Sean said before seeing the last one. "Reload." Sean said before it charged right at them.

Sean grabbed the head before he snapped its neck.

"You couldn't have just done that to begin with?" Burt asked.

"No. Cause for One if I got to close to it the damn thing would have tried to shred me." Sean said before the trailer shook from the Albino Graboid.

"Damn! How does he always know where I am?" Burt asked before his watch beeped. "The watch. The ultrasonic signal." Burt said about to take it off only for the Graboid to shake the trailer again and fell out.

"Burt you ok?" Sean asked before seeing he was caught in wires.

"I'm caught." Burt said before El Blanco came to him.

"Shit! Give me that thing." Sean said taking the watch.

"Sean get out of here." Burt said.

"Shut up Burt." Sean said before getting the watch. "Hey ugly you want it come and get it." Sean said making it chase him before Sean got on a truck and mocked him.

"Hang on." Talbot said getting some pliers out. However the Assblaster they trapped in junk got free.

"AW FUCK!" Sean yelled before getting an idea and quickly used his magic to make the watch sticky. "Talbot, Miguel hurry up." Sean said.

"Working on it!" Talbot said.

Sean got closer to them before throwing the Watch at it making it stick and El Blanco came up and ate the Assblaster before running off.

"Nice throw!" Talbot said.

"Just cause I was smarter then most kids back then doesn't mean I didn't have normal moments in my life." Sean said chuckling.

Later

The Assblaster the girls caught was sold to Sean's company to be relocated to Pangea along with El Blanco.

Sean was in the valley waiting for someone.

"Hey Sean." Melvin said approaching him.

"Hey Mel. Listen I got a proposal for you if your interested." Sean said.

"Oh yeah? What is it?" Melvin asked.

"This." Sean said showing a news report of a once slum area on Coruscant being rebuilt by the Alliance. "If you leave the valley as it is I'll place you in charge of this operation." Sean said.

"Really? Sean come on. Look around you theres nothing here." Melvin said.

"I know and I like it that way. Besides I don't think anyone is going to move here after having a second Graboid problem." Sean said.

"Well...I don't know. Do I get full credit for this project?" Melvin asked.

"Of course. And in the process make some easy money." Sean said.

"Alright Deal." Melvin said shaking his hand.
