Abadon cursed foully under his breath as the bullets seemed to make no real impact, hearing what Ty said, he pressed harder on the gas and spun the wheel, turning them around completely and speeding towards a dirt road. When the harpoon tethered the humvee to the beast, Abadon struggled to keep it straight, "C'mon, this thing aint meant to tow." Trying desperately to keep the wheel straight, under the helmet Abadon's face had turned red. When the rope was cut and the beast came crashing down to the ground, he slammed onto the brakes and turned the humvee around. The two men of the team patted Ty's shoulders, getting out of the side's of the humvee. Abadon powerred one of the dagger hilts with the jack socket on his suit, before handing it to Sumnor, "I do believe the next one was yours." Sumnor took the dagger gratefully, nodding at Abadon. He walked warily over to the beast, the dagger held firmly in his hand. Twirling it as he had been trained, the plasma blade now faced downwards, the hilt still in Sumnor's firm grip. When he got over, the beast snapped, though couldn't muster the strength to make a real attempt, he looked back, "I think you severed it's main nerve-endings, Ty!"The beast raised it's head and cought Sumnor's foot, though luckily it was between two teeth so no damage was done. he kicked wildly with his free leg, struggling in an attempt to get himself free. Abadon sighed, looking down at Sumnor, "Screw this," He took the duelling staff from his back, energising it and offering it to Ty, "Hunter's code, you injured the beast, now put it out of its misery."

Ty held onto the back of Sumnor's seat as Abadon slammed to a stop near the beast. She sank back in between both of them, giving them a small smile for the acknowledgements they had given her. She sat back up as both the men got out of the vehicle and made their way over to their catch.
Ty sat there for a long moment, thinking things over. How many more of these things were on this planet? There must be a huge mass of swamp land past that shed they were in not too long ago. They would have to find food, shelter, and extra ammunition now. The ship was totaled. Ty squeezed her eyes together, a headache coming around. They really couldn't take another one down like this. Abadon was right. The humvee wasn't meant to tow.
Her attention was caught when Sumnor yelled back at her. She groaned slightly and hopped out of the humvee. She slowly made her way over towards the guys, snickering as Sumnor got caught in the creature's teeth. "Easy there, killer..." Ty stood closely to Abadon, her ex pression shone surprise as Sumnor cursed at the beast and offered her the staff. She glanced back at Abadon as if to ask, Why? Taking a breath, she turns back to Sumnor and nods, her face somber. "Alright." She shrugs, walking behind the creature's head. "You know, we could just let the thing suffer and die slowly..but I guess a quick death is best. Abadon..I think you should take a blood sample after I kill it. See if you can trace it or something. Maybe we can go back and salvage some things from the ship.." With that said, Ty angled the staff and made a clean, clear swipe through the creature's neck, ending it's life.

Abadon held firm whilst Ty gazed at him, not waverring, wanting her to take it upon herself. "It's always better to finish your kills, Ty. Otherwise later on you leave room for doubts." He handed the staff over and smiled when she took it, though it could not be seen because of his helmet. He listened to her comment about letting it suffer, "Suffering kicks the survival instinct in, revenge drives the beast, if you leave it to suffer it will seek help and seeing as we're on a planter that seems to be roaming with them... it will most likely find it." Abadon nodded in approval as Ty made one quick, clean swipe through the neck. He walked over to the wund, pushing the side of his rig into the side of the beast's neck, letting a few drops hit the analyser on the datapad. He pressed a few buttons, disengaging his helmet to get a better view. "This thing's a hybrid of two species..." Sumnor ran over to him. "Oh now this should be interesting." He grinned at Abadon, it was rare for two species to mate, nevermind the rarity of an actually hybrid race. "The reader doens't say which ones, but looking at the horns on beastly here... I can hazard a guess at one of them." Sumnor grimaced at the thought, Abadon chuckled softly, "Aye, that little oold species that was never given a name... too vicious to be named, apparently." Sumnor shook his head. "No way, The Old Race? They hardly bred with eachother nevermind other races." The two engineers stood there dumfounded, staring at the body of the beast they had hardly managed to take down.

Ty stepped to the side, allowing Abadon room to get what he needed to figure out what they were actually dealing with here. She felt a little sick. not due to the fact that she just killed something, but because of how it was arranged. She couldn't really argue with both men's ideals, so she just stayed quiet.
Abadon mentioned that it was a hybrid. A hybrid of what? Ty wasn't really one to battle something made from two totally different species. She raised a brow and moved in closer to take a look at the new information herself. She stood there, watching the strands of DNA on the screen swirl around slowly, bits and pieces of it suddenly popping up and scanned. Wait..."There's four extra rows of DNA here." Ty wasn't the type to be a "scientist" either, but when she felt and saw something odd that didn't belong in the picture, she would point it out. "Look, Abadon." She pointed, not touching his screen.
"Do you think that means they are a little bit...You know...overpowered?" She bit her lower lip in thought, her brow furrowing. Ty kicked some dirt at the now dead carcass. She gave the staff to Sumnor and turned back to the humvee. They needed to get to a safer place than this. Didn't both of them notice it was much larger than the one they killed in the shed? Probably not. In any case, no sense in them standing here. Ty got to work on reloading the crossbow again, this time not tying the rope at the end of it. Her eyes darted up at the guys every now and then. "We need to get back to the ship. Salvage as much as we can. You two don't see what I'm seeing do you?" She stared at them hard, wondering what they were thinking.

Abadon looked at the extra DNA Ty pointed out, grimacing, "They've been injected with something... and if my mind is working right.... which after the knocks I took in that first bout with one of these things, I doubt... It looks like these were planted here.... and looking at what's happened to the people here, it's as if someone or something is testing a new weapon." He chewed the armour plate that coverred his thumb. "You're right, we really should get moving, but not to the ship, that thing trasked it, not going to be anything of extreme value."He thought about it for a moment, smiling at Ty, "Then again it's about time stop taking charge," He tossed the humvee keys to Ty and hopped in the back, sitting with his back to the back of Ty's seat. Sumnor hopped in the passenger seat, beginning to fiddle with a tooth that had came off when the creature had him in it's grasp. "Abadon.... When I was semi-concious and you two were trying to get me back to good health..." Abadon looked up and to the side, frowning slightly at Sumnor, "Did you really mean that thing we've always said, 'Fly together, die together'" Abadon chuckled softly, playing around with a missle. "Yeah, I've always meant it, you're the only one who's ever been there for me throughout my life... Helped me through all thatbusiness with finding out I ahd been chosen as the military's guinee pigfor all this training." He shrugged, "I love you, buddy." He smiled, this time it wasn't an awkward smile, this was one of the rare occasions it was sincere. Sumnor nodded, knowing he didn't need to say it back.

Ty sat there, listening to Abadon explain the reason for the DNA. It sort of made perfect sense. She was going to make a remark about who could have been behind such a thing, but instead, she had the keys of the humvee thrown in her face. "Wha.." She didn't get to finish the sentence as Abadon made his way behind the driver's side seat and sat down. She was a little dumbfounded at finding herself into a new position like this. Was she being a little pushy? Ty hoped not.
As Sumnor made his way to the passenger side and sat, Ty had the humvee started and moving out. She didn't really know where to go, but as they were landing, she noticed a mountain ridge in the distance. It seemed to have some foliage on it and maybe camping near the edge of it wouldn't be such a bad idea. They could find food there as well.
She moved her eyes to the side several times as she listened to the guys' conversation. A small smile was planted on her face as Abadon told Sumnor that he loved him. They must have been friends for a long time..Ty thought, feeling a little jealous at the prospect of it all. She didn't have anybody take care of her back when she needed help the most. But, that was in the past and she kept silent as she continued to drive through the desolate area. "I think we might find something interesting here, fellas. What do you think?" She said this in a calm voice, trying to hide back the uneasiness she seemed to be feeling.

Abadon stretched out and closed his eyes in the back of the humvee, deciding it best to rest his eyes.When Ty said something about finding something interesting, he pushed himself up onto his knees, "Aye... it's closed off, probably best for hiding out from those things." He played around with a small combat knife he took from the side of his boot, "He looked around, surveyying the area when he noticed something up ahead, "Is that the symbol for the military on that tent over there?" He squinted his eyes, not able to make out whether it wsa exactly. Sumnor pushed up in his seat to look over the edge, "Yep, that's the one, I remember from the inside of that stupid fricking helmet." He laughed slightly, pulling up his pulse rifle that he had by his feet, "Though the camp doesn't exactly look inhabited, so I think it best we go prepared." Abadon nodded, unclipping his plasma cutter. "If you let me out here I'll go through the bushes, might be best to scout ahead." He hopped over the side of the humvee, crouching low behind a bush while his helmet engaged. "Why is it whenever you see something good it's followed by something crap." He moved ahead cautiously, checking the ground for explosives. Sumnor hopped into the back, manning the harpoon just incase anything came up behind Abadon. "Okay, I've gotta ask, something was said between you and Abadon near that crate... Am I allowed to ask whether anything's going to happen?" He grinned coyly, shrugging his shoulders, "As you may or may not know I'm gay so it's not as if I'm jealous." Abadon continued to mvoe ahead, before realising he'd walked into a clearing. He stood up straight, looking around, chuckling softly as he realised it was just a camp that a team ahd left behind, turning around he put his index finger and thumb in the corners of his mouth and whistled sharply, "It's clear!"

Ty noticed the tent before Abadon had said anything about it. She nodded, taking a glance back at him. "Yeah, it seems like it." She listened has Sumnor suggested that they go prepared just in case anybody was still living there. Still, it looked like nobody had kept its occupancy for long.
Abadon noted that he could scout for them, so Ty swirved to a stop not too far from the campsite. She sighed and cut off the vehicle. The sudden silence was overbearing. Right now, Ty wouldn't mind a little noise even if it meant to kill another one of those creatures again. There were many things running through her mind, and it seemed Sumnor had to add to her tension. Ty turned to face his back. She just smiled, crossing her arms over her chest. "But you are. I can tell. Do you really want to know what was said?" Out of a habit of nervousness, Ty bit at her lower lip again trying to figure out what she was going to say to Sumnor. She didn't like it that he wasn't facing her. She liked to view the expressions of people's faces when she was talking to them just to see if she had given them any kind of reaction at all.
"He wants to try...with me. About all that was discussed. ...I haven't even known you guys that long. Maybe you a little longer than him, but still. Plus, I've never been into anything serious...I'm not really sure I could handle it.." She became silent for a few moments. A whistle could be heard and Abadon shouted out, "It's clear!" Ty eased back against the seat and looked in Abadon's direction. "I haven't given him an answer yet." She stared at the back of Sumnor's head for a few seconds before turning the humvee back on and driving to where Abadon stood.

"But you are. I can tell. Do you really want to know what was said?" Sumnor chuckled, letting himself drop to his knees as he turned around and rested his chin on Ty's shoulder, "Well obviously I'm jealous, I've had something for Buer ever since I met the guy, but he's a straight arow in that department and I just want him to be happy." He scratched the back of his head, "Oh and by the way, next time we get on a ship you're so cutting my frecking hair."
He chuckled slightly, stopping when Ty started talking again, "I've no doubt you can handle it, i might not have known you long but I'm sure you're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for." He smiled, looking up as he heard Abadon whistle and call out, "God, that man has the tact of a Zardan." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abadon stretched as the humvee rolled up to the camp, before looking through various papers with graphs, not particularly caring about things like that. "Boring science mission I think." He leafed through a few laptop files, his eyes widening as he stumble upon something, "Oh.... crap... According to this the government placed these things here a little over three days ago... Get this though, the reason they left, the things have been breeding like crazy, they only placed six here and now the entire planet's populated."

Ty snorted at Sumnor's comment on cutting his hair. No freaking way. She couldn't do that. She had to admit for a gay guy, he looked devilishly handsome with long hair. Chuckling softly, she turned her head to him. "No way, dude. I'm not going to touch it. A little trim, but I'm not cutting all of it off, haha! You look really nice with long hair." When he made the comment about Abadon, she grinned at him. She soon pulled up to the spot where Abadon stood and cut the engine off.
Ty got out and went over to one of the tents. The place seemed to be even more barren than the fuel station. She noticed several computer monitors and stations scattered about, electricity gone. The laptop that Abadon found seemed to still be charged as he was looking through a few things. Ty walked over to him and stood beside him. Her eyes glanced down at the papers that were scattered everywhere. "Science mission? What kind-.." She was cut off when he suddenly exclaimed that the government had placed the beasts here not too long ago. "Oh, so it's one of -those- missions...Well, they really screwed it up now..Only six? Are you sure there wasn't some other life force here?..." Ty reached over, looking through some of the papers. All of them just read data. Strange data at that. A lot of qualitative jibberish that she didn't understand. "Hm..." She stood there for a moment, then walked over to the other tables which seemed to be moved haphazardly around.
She moved to one of the table stations, pressing a few buttons to see if the screen would show up anything. Nothing. No juice. Ty moved to the next one, pressed on the controls and after a few clicks and beeps, the screen started up. "Aha...So, what do we have here?..." She shifted from folder to folder, checking all of its contents. A few of them caught her eye and those were the ones that were labeled "Top Secret". "Oh, Sumnor...Got a job for you." She grinned and looked over at him. "I think both of you would want to see what I've found.." She smiled.

Abadon grabbed a small metal crate and sat on it, clicking away at the laptop, leafing through dats, findings, results. "Oh, no.... you've all frecked it up this time." he sighed, finding some scrap paper and scribbling what he had found down, before cramming it into one of the many compartments of his armour. he continued to click away, but was interupted by a call from Sumnor. "Hey Buer, get your ass in here." Abadon clicked the laptop off, before picking it up and bringing it with him. He walked into the tent. "Hm, oh, guys, a little something, these things have human DNA pattersn written into their genetic structure, mainly the hunger part of the brain, they're made to eat humans.... I think these things were meant as weapons." He saw a water cooler, kicking the latch to open it and pulling out a bottle of water, anaylsing a drop before drinking it, better safe than sorry. "So what is it you called me in here for?" he stretched slightly, the boost effect of being reconstructed starting to wear off, his body starting to feel tired and therefore ache. Sumnor looked over at him, making a slight gesture with his head towards Ty, "She's found something, from her rection I'd say it's big." Abadon looked past Sumnor and over to Ty, smiling as he saw her clicking away at a computer. He walked over and pulled a chair over to sit back down next to her. "Oh, Sumnor, encrypted files on this laptop, your area of expertise I do believe." he threw the laptop to Sumnor, which was caught and quickly turned on. he turned to Ty, smiling awkwardly, "So have you thought any towards what we spoke about on the sorry excuse for a ship?"

A yawn escaped from Ty's mouth. She lazily tried to cover it, but failed. Giving up on how tired she was, she found a chair and sat in front of the computer she was working on. Her fingers worked furiously at the buttons and screen, searching for other information they could possibly hack into. She cut her eyes over to Abadon as he mentioned the creatures had altered DNA patterns. "So, these things were pretty much lab rats too, right? Not just some kind of weapon?" When she didn't get an answer, she turned her head back to the screen and continued working.
Ty slightly tilted her head in Sumnor's direction and asked, "Do you want me to send these files to you? I don't think they are embedded into the network on here. I could hack them to you and you can retrieve the information." She turned away and began to hack into the computer system's programming. It was such slop. No wonder they couldn't keep things under control. The best work in this piece of junk were the security codes for the files she was about to send to Sumnor. It seemed like a really big waste of time to her. With the loss of innocents' and a scientific study underway, a lot of things just spelt 'fishy'.
Ty never noticed Abadon making his way over to her until he was right beside her, talking into her ear. She jumped back a little. "Jesus! Don't do that..." She gave him an annoyed glance, but her ex pression softened a little when he finished asking his question. "I have...Thought about it a lot. What if we don't make it out of here, Abadon?" She said suddenly. "What if the people at that company knew that we would have to pass by, stop, and refuel? I mean, it all just doesn't make any sense." She looked up at him with a worried ex pression on her face. She was a lot tougher than this. Having been in a prison facility way back when had her grow some bigger knockers than most criminals she bunked with. She was just worried about herself and noone else. That's what you had to do when you were locked up. Watch your back, trust no one. Now, she was acting like a weakling. Why feel like this now? This probably not the worse she's ever been in, but the thing was that she had always been hunted by humans...Not creatures.
Letting out a tired sigh, Ty sat back in her chair and folded her hands behind her head. She stared at Abadon a few moments, doing that thing she always did with her lower lip, biting it until she either made it raw or bleed. "Until the end, at least. Just until the end.." She only said that to him, then stood and walked over to the water cooler to get herself something to drink. Her stomach suddenly growled. Well, Ty was even a bit hungry too. Imagine that...

Abadon listened intently as Ty asked about what if they don't make it off the planet alive, to which his only answer could be, "I'll make sure we make it off this stinking crap hole alive." His eyes were drifting shut now, he was finding it hard to stay awake. he looked up and made himself focus as she started talking about how this was all a government conspiracy, "Possibly, I mean we've all been in soem pretty major trouble with the law in our pasts." He started playing around with a knife, spinning it around between each of his fingers. "It definately appears like they were trying to get rid of us... probably to avoid us finding out about this when it hits the news." He thought for a moment, "I mean, if there's anyone who'd want to investigate this it's us, so maybe that's why they sent us here to try and kill us." he looked at the knife he had in his hand, it was a new one, one that ahd been placed in his bag before he left. He looked at the base of the hilt, where the words, 'For you, Abadon.' he opened the handle and pured the contents out. In there was a needle and thread, the inside of the base cover a compass. He looked at the pictures that were in there, tey were of a man and woman, and he had never seen them before. "Ty.... What the hell is this..?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sumnor managed to get trough half of the files with ruprising ease, his fingers working at an unbelievable speed. "God these people really are--" That was when a stronger encryption poped up, which obvoulsy spiked his curiosity and he continued on hacking, smiling as he did so, revelling in thsi kind of work.

Finishing the bottle of water, Ty walked back over Abadon. It seemed that all of them were tired. That was the usual when one was healed in a chamber. Normal cells in the body had to catch up and that usually resulted in the individual becoming weak and extremely tired after a few hours. As she was walking back, Ty smirked at the comments Sumnor was making as he progressed with his hacking skills. "Getting anything, Sumnor?" She called out, flopping down onto her chair. The computer in front of her was blinking, scrolling through different files Ty had set up to analyze.
She listened to Abadon talk and watched as he twirled his knife. Ty was out of practice with her skills. Of course, all her skills weren't military type. Most of them she learned from the other thugs and killers in the prisons she been through. 'Street' skills. Those of a rogue, a hunter, the hunted. Ty had dozed off a bit when she heard Abadon call her name. "..What the hell is this?.." "Hm..What?" Ty sat up suddenly, rubbing her eyes some. She blinked and stared at his hands. Her eyes stayed fixed on the pictures, studying the faces intently. They seemed rather familiar to her, but she couldn't place who they were. "I..I don't know. Let me see..." She reached out, taking one of the pictures. The woman was smiling slightly, her hair long and curled. "It looks like a family photo...I don't know who she is." She only gave the other picture a couple of glances, at a loss with her memory. "Do you not know them, Abadon?"
Ty's computer suddenly flashed red. "Hello..." She moved over to it, clicking a few buttons then analyzed what was going on. "There's movement in the forest above us..And it's moving fast!" She quickly got up and went outside to the humvee. She noticed that the weather there was starting to get darker. Thunder rumbled in the distance, flashes of lightening soon following after every couple of minutes. "Dang it..." Ty cursed under her breath, removing the crossbow from the vehicle. She grabbed the remaining ropes and harpoons, getting ready to defend their findings and survive. "Sumnor, hurry up. Got some movement! Abadon..." She stood in front of him. "We'll figure that out later. Come on.."

Abadon stared at the picture hard, clawing through his memory to find some trace of who they were, not managing to find anything tangible. "Do you not know them, Abadon?" He looked up at her, his ex pression pleading for help, though he knew his answer, "I feel like I should.... But I just can't pull anything from my memories." He put his head in his hands, almost shaking with the growing frustration. "Why can't I figure out who they are, the knife is inscribed to me, someone planted it in my bag to trigger a memory, but nothing's coming to me." He stood up and punched a monitor, the screen cracking before the entire thing fell off the table. Sumnor cracked the last of the files a few seconds before Abadon's tantrum, standing and running over to him, trying to calm him down a little. "Woah, come on buddy, it'll all come in time, you just have to let it, pushing will just make it harder." Abadon sighed, turning around when Ty mentioned something moving towards them fast, from the jungles above. When she took control of the situation and was telling them to get some movement, he smiled, jogging out to the humve and grabbing one of the spare rifles in the back. "Now this is such good timing..." He checked the rifle over, making sure the safety was not on, Before aiming towards the trees, Sumnor grabbed another one of the rifles, standing besides Abadon, who nodded at him before concentrating on the tree line "Come on and give us a challenge."

Ty had set up the crossbow just to the side, at an angle from where Abadon and Sumnor were positioned. "Let's hope it's not bigger than the last beast..." Ty spoke too soon. Just beyond the mountain ridge, the sound of booming steps was getting closer. The creaking and snapping of trees and branches could be heard from either direction; Ty was unsure if there was more than one headed their way. In the distance, the sound of thunder could be heard and the wind started to pick up.
Ty quickly looked over to the guys, letting out a soft whistle to get their attention. She gestured for them to get closer, but stay down..In an instant, a large bulking creature smashed through the clearing's treeline. It let out a tremendous roar; its' teeth glistening with saliva. The body on this creature was more obscure. One could actually seen the toned muscles in its' arms and thighs. There was great strength to be unleashed by this one. Like the others, the head plate was much larger but in the middle of it were pertruding horns of different shapes and sizes. Jagged spheres that seemed to be covered in caked blood and flesh. It was a horrid sight.
Ty closed her eyes for a second, feeling the ground shake with each of the creature's steps. "Jesus Christ..." She said in a breathless whisper. How many more of these were they going to have to go through to get off of this infested stink hole? The thought didn't come to her as quickly as the rain started to pour down in sheets. She stayed put, armed and at the ready, waiting for the creature to get just a bit closer...There! Ty had it in her sights. With a quick release, the crossbow shot out a roped harpoon and stuck the beast right in the neck, just like the other. This time, Ty had to jam the pully and hold the line still as she waited for the others to do something. If they didn't hurry, they would all be in for it.

Abadon looked over to Sumnor and grinned maniacly, "Fly together," Sumnor nodded, a more serious ex pression on his face, "Die together," The two sprinted and grabbed hold of the rope, shimmying their way up to the beast's neck and sitting as comfortbaly as possible. Abadon took a firm hold of the end of the rope, shouting down to Ty, "Cut your end and then try and climb up the tail!" He then tugged the harpoon viciously, causing the beast to scream out in agony and begin to gallop and buck, in a vain attempt to throw the humans off him. Abadon pulled it to the side, making the beast turn to one side and gallop towards the ships would normally be. "Oh she handles like a charm!" As they cleared a few hundred feet, the harpoon came out, Abadon panicking, "The bushes over there! Jump!" He stood upright on the back of the beast and kept as balanced as possible, before diving towards the heavy shrubbery below. Sumnor followed, however he went foot-first Sumnor looked behind the beast, seeing the roped harpoon not too far away, "Sumnor, I've got an idea, when I say duck, you duck." Not giving Sumnor a chance to ask about the plan, he sprinted for the harpoon, hoping with everything he was the beast would not realise. Diving, he grabbed it and rolled forward and up onto his knees, "Duck!" He launched it towards Sumnor, but as he ducked the sharpenned tip rammed into the rock cliff behind him. Sumnor saw what the plan was, grabbing the end of the rope and sprinting across to a tree across the clearing, tying it as firmly as possible, before yelling at the beast, "C'mon Nessy! I'm waitin' for ya!"

Ty watched in horror as both guys man-handled the beast in the only way they knew how. When the creature turned the opposite direction and tightened the rope on Ty's end, she swiftly cut it with the large bowie knife she found laying beside her. She then ran from her hiding spot, lunging onto the creature's tail. She drove the knife into its' tough, scaly skin and held on. She didn't know what the others were up to, but the beast let out a sudden roar, tail swinging high in the air. "Ahhhh!" Ty had slipped and was now flying through the air, right in front of the beast. Perfect! She thought as her body came crashing down hard onto the earth. "Aargh!!...Ooof!!.." She coughed roughly, her sides tensing up in pain. All of her ribs were probably broken. A trickle of blood was oozing out of her nose, and she almost lost her breath. "Ahh.." She took a deep breath in, her vision going a little hazy as she turned her head to the beast. It was roaring loudly; its' mouth dripping liquid heat, hungry for flesh. Get up! Get up now, Ty! She scolded herself, but she couldn't move. She let out a growl, gritted her teeth and rolled over only to be overwhelmed by the pain that shot through her body. She suddenly noticed the guys in the bushes...then the rope. "Drag me! I'm injured!! Get me out of the way! ABADON!!!" She screamed loudly as the beast let out its final roar and started charging at them all.
