(Is it open?)
(Yes)
"Go for it!" Luca assumed his fighting stance.
"Hey guys! Jordan's down for the moment!" Cato yelled, preparing himself to fight on top of the roof.
Missy turned to Cato. "What?"
In the instant that she hesitated, something slammed into her, knocking her to the ground. Something that resembled claws scraped at her face, neck, and arms. Pearls of blood appeared. Missy screamed and kicked, but the creature had wrapped a tentically (…yup) hand around her arm and began dragging her back to the pod.
Missy was strong. Missy was brave. She put up a fierce outer shell. But in that moment, she'd never been more terrified. Blood trickled down her face and her eyes glistened fearfully with tears as she looked at Luca, completely, utterly helpless.
Luca dove towards them. "NOT MY MISSY YOU BUGGER!" He tackled the creature to the ground. "GO GET OUT!"
Cato picked up Jordan’s sniper and, praying that he wouldn’t hit his friends, fired at the monster. He hit his target, but the bullet grazed off its skin, angering it.
"Luca, Luca," Missy's breaths were ragged. She couldn't focus on anything. Its arm released her and it howled. Her ears were clouded. Where it gripped her, there was a bruise. "Luca-" Missy fumbled for her grenade.
Cato took a step back and stumbled as the monster reared its ugly head and turned towards where ther bullet had come from. “Guys! Why wont this stupid thing die?!”
Luca slammed against the ground. The creature, though bleeding heavily, seemed unaffected. It screeched at him. "Rude…" He muttered. It's beak snapped at him. He tried to push it off, struggling against it's surprising wait.
Missy's fingers wrapped around the grenade. She shakily pulled it out, yanked the chain, and threw it into the pod. She heard it clatter around for a second, then the metallic horror burst into pieces.
//how many are there
The alien on top of Luca screeched, then fell still. Luca opened his eyes. He sighed. "You okay Missy?"
(Well the lines of red were made out of pods so they're scattered all over the nation)
//ahh i get it now…. are there more where they are or are they moving on from their current location?
(The plan is that they're gonna be out in the Fields of Asphodel (plains right near their gas station) and their gonna hold down the fort that night from the invasion)
Missy relaxed slightly when the pod blew up. A piece of metal whizzed by her face. One sliced at her hair as it flew by. Oh Lordy, she hurt. She could barely move. Strong. Strong. Missy pushed herself up but did nothing more than take a few steps, stumble, and fall to the ground. Pain sliced up her arms. Blood pooled all over her. She closed her eyes and felt lightheaded. Everything was fuzzy.
(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH O_O)
(Hey girly! For kicks Astrum could be asleep in the station)
Luca heaved the bug off of him and stumbled over to Missy. "Where…where does it hurt?"
(Mmk. O~o)
(You okay hun?)
//i gtg so um just say Cato is with you if you move
"Everywhere…" Missy hissed. She couldn't remember when she gritted her teeth.
(Okie dokie)
Luca grimaced. "Okay uh…….I'll carry you back to the station. I think Astrum can patch you up."
