C5: Don't Panic. PANIC!
Frost POV
"For the record, I blame you for this!" Cora shouted at me above the gunfire.
"ME?! How is this my fault?!" I asked Cora in a shout.
"You're the one who set off the alarm!" Cora replied with a shout.
"Would you two please just shut up?!" Pumzie shouted at the two of us.
Me and Cora mumbled as we kept low behind our shelters. I looked over my shoulder and quickly hid behind the piece of rubber. I looked over at Cora and Pumzie who were hiding behind a piece of broken wing from the spaceship. Apparently a bunch of ghouls decided to take up shelter in the spaceship. And they were the ones who were firing at us.
"What do we do?!" I shouted.
"We need a distraction!" Pumzie shouted.
"What kind of distraction?!" Cora shouted.
"What about bait?!" I asked in a shout.
"Too dangerous!" Pumzie shouted.
"Any other ideas?!" Cora asked.
"I might have one, but I need cover fire!" I shouted.
"That we can do. What's your plan?!" Cora asked.
"Just fire at my signal!" I shouted.
"What's your signal?!" Pumzie asked with a shout.
"You'll know it when you see it!" I replied in a shout.
Pumzie and Cora looked at each other before shrugging. I closed my eyes and focused on the last time I was in life-threatening danger. Every sudden started going quiet.
"Yes, release your demon." I heard a whispering voice that sounded like Death's.
I felt my body grow as my teeth turn into fangs. My claws got sharper as I felt my bones snap. My metal was replaced with a muscular arm that looked as if it was covered with black leather. It felt as if my skin was melting from my face and I grunted in pain. The pain soon went away and was replaced with power. So much power! I looked over at Cora and Pumzie, they looked at me with wide eyes.
I laid on my back before bending my legs as I shuffled forward until my feet were against the piece of rubber. I closed my eyes before kicking, causing the piece of rubber to fly straight at our shooters. They jumped out of the way and now it was the girls' time to shine. They looked over their cover before opening fire at the ghouls. I stood up and picked up the fire-axe, but as soon as I touched it, it changed. It looked, almost corrupted, but it glowed purple.
(Just pretend it's purple and not blue)
I got up and charged into the spaceship with a loud snarl. My head became clouded and I couldn't focus. I started hacking down at every living thing I saw. I froze when I turned a corner and saw a terrifying beast.
I snarled at it as a warning to back off and it snarled back. I lifted my axe and it lifted its axe. It's axe looked the same as mine. I took a swing at it and it took a swing at me.
There was a loud shatter of glass as the tips of our axes connected. I opened my eyes and saw just broken glass, that's when I realised that that thing was my reflection. I suddenly groaned in pain again before dropping to my knees, holding my head before everything went black.
I slowly begin to come to my senses. First my hearing, then smell and touch, lastly my sight and taste. My ears ringed a bit but it went away after a while and I heard voices coming from another room, the place smelled clean and a lot like a hospital, my fingers twitched slightly as I slowly sat up, I opened my stingy eyes and saw that I was in familiar medbay, it was Terra's. I smacked my cracked lips as I realised that my mouth was dry. I looked around for water, but I could only find a bottle of brandy. I sniffed it to make sure before drinking a bit to kill off my thirst.
I slowly stood up, nearly falling over, before walking over to the door. I pressed my ear against the door. I heard the voices more clearly. I heard Emily shouting, she sounded pissed and she was shouting about me. I guess she was shouting at either Pumzie or Cora, maybe both.
"You're actions were irresponsible! I told you not to take him to the ship!" Emily shouted.
"But he..." Pumzie started.
"No buts. What would've you done if he had a breakdown? He almost died in the crash!" Emily scolded, she sounded really pissed.
There was silence, followed by more scolding.
"I want no one going to that ship. The ghouls made nest there, what the crash didn't destroy, they will." Emily said.
"But that exactly why we need to go back there. To save the parts so that we get outta here. We can..." Pumzie started to protest.
"No! He believes that his friends will find him. And when they do, I'm not going to be the one to explain why he died. So that's final, no one is going to that ship, end of discussion. If you two can't obey simple orders, you can always go." Emily warned them.
"Wait!" I shouted as I opened the door.
The three of them looked at me in surprise.
"It's not their fault, Emily. I persuaded them to take me there after they told me no. I wanted to see if there was anything I can use to contact my friends with. It's my fault, punish me, not them." I explained.
They all stared at me in silence.
"In my office, tomorrow morning, 7 am sharp." Emily said while pointing at me before turning around and walking away.
While I watch Emily disappear, I didn't notice Pumzie and Cora having an agreement. As I turned around, Cora grabbed the collar of my shirt and shoved me into a room.
(Leaving ya all with a cliffhanger. You can guess what their agreement is. Glitch out.)
