Creature in the Crater : 22
Klane fought hard against the paralysis induced by the creature's energy weapon. This time it was a bit weaker or he was stronger because he felt some control come back to his limbs as the creature landed the aerocopter and came to kill him. Yet there was not enough time! He was sure that now he was going to die and what would then happen to Lucalle and Ketha?
In this moment of desperation Suak attacked. Swooping down on the creature from the blind side he let his talons rake over its face, catching it by surprise. With a great roar of rage the creature turned to face the alegoyle.
"Pes.. ss.. tilential vermin!" it hissed. "Your kind has.. s.. been wiped out in all civilis... s.. ed systems. This wretched planet needs more pes.. s..t control. I will kill you too!"
The creature roared loudly as Suak made a second pass and its jaws snapped dreadfully close to the alegoyle, who wheeled out of reach and uttered two taunting cries "Suuuaaakkk! Suuuaaakkkkk!"
It was a standoff. With the creature alerted to its presence the alegoyle could do little to hurt it and dare not venture too close to those fearsome jaws. Yet the creature was unable to reach the alegoyle without taking to the air in its vehicle again or procuring other weapons.
It hissed in frustration.
