《Terror Infinity Remake》9 Realization
Advertisement
The spaceship left the planet, the NPCs and a few survivors looked at the wreckage where the Heroes stood tall, their, there was some guilt in some of the survivors that left them there, but Hera and Chrysa had non, they only felt pity for the survivors that mimicked their action of leaving with the NPCs, after all once the mission failed unlike themselves the other two that came along would die.
The Heroes that looked at the departing spaceship felt fear and uncertainty. They had already experienced those little critters, they didn't think the big ones would be easier to kill than the little ones.
But it was almost time, the sun was setting and they could barely see because of the lights they set around the entrance of the wreckage. Before long a small earthquake could be felt and as the night fell a sound like a tornado approaching could be heard as thousands of these creatures flew into the sky in search of food.
The shrill sounds that the creatures made hit hard on their ears. Before they were even ready the first beast descended from the sky and right into their barricade.
Only Tian shot as the others were frozen stiff, they couldn't even react to the sudden attack. Tian, who used Johns' shotgun did a really good job in blowing the creature's head away, letting pieces of flesh and blood to rain on the other players.
That shot was like a signal that the battle begun s hundreds of monsters followed the sound to their location, before long a serious fight for survival begun. Those without weapons could only tremble inside the wreckage as they heard the sounds of creatures walking above their heads.
It took them an hour and some wouned and even cripled players. In the end however they had made it, they had killed a hundred monsters and the barricade still held, it was their victory.
==Objective No 3 - Survive for 24 hours hours==
"We're fucked"
The players said as they saw the next mission. Although the quest would be complete by those in space right now, those that were stuck on the planet could only worry. It had taken them two hours to kill 50 additional monsters and finish the objective, their ammo was long gone and all they could do was use metal rods as spears in order to keep the creatures away.
"Does anyone have a plan?"
George shouted as they had all entered the wreckage and blocked the entrance.
"Can't we just stay here?"
Samson asked, even as the noise of talons and hammerheads hit the outer shell of the ship.

"If you had heard the things about the movie you would know that at some point these creatures will eat through the armor of the spaceship and get inside"
George said, causing everyone to panic.
"Isn't it simple, all we have to do is attack these monsters through the holes they make"
Tian said as he used his iron rod to attack one of these creatures, but he did nothing to it other than enrage it.
"How long do you think we can do that?"
George asked, knowing full well that everyone was already tired and multiple people were injured
To his words however Tian just snorted and turned around to continue hitting the creatures, causing them to stop destroying the ship. Of course there was only so much a single person could do, before long more and more holes appeared and more people begun to copy him.
An hour had passed and there was nothing they could do to stop the creatures from creating new holes in their defense. They even had people faint from deficiency of blood, due to their prior injuries.
What they lacked most was a certified medic that knew how to threat wounds, mostly because Tian wasn't intrested in wasting time on useless newbes that would die anyways.
Suddenly everyone's attention fell on a light, it was Nick whom had at some point begun to weld the holes with a torch.
It was insane to see him do so, despite the dangers, but he didn't seem to care much, the monsters were too irritated to approach due to the light of the welding torch.
"How long do you think we can survive?"
Jason asked George, who was now also using a metal rod trying to make the creatures go away.
"As long as we can, it's not like we're going to just lay down and die"
George said, but inside he felt a sort of despair he hadn't felt before. Even with all their hard work, it was inevitable that the creatures would get inside and when they did it would be the end of them.
"I think we should stop with prodding the holes with the rod, already two people almost lost their hands by doing so"
Jason said afraid that he would be the next victim of those monsters.
"We still have enough disinfectant and bandages"
George said, disregarding his words.
"But you said before that these creatures are drawn to blood, I wouldn't be surprised if all the creatures on this planet come here"
Jason's words caused everyone to think about it really hard, even Nick and Tian weren't exceptions.
"So what do we do now?"

George asked Tian who was not too far away. The others also looked at him, after all he was supposed to be the leader. Tian at the time had a headache, he never expected that being a leader would be so hard, all he wanted to do was fight off those monsters for as long as he could, escaping them was impossible since they could fly.
As time passed the number of creatures only increased, the creatures weren't able to penetrate the ship's hard shell, but the ship was only a wreckage of its past self, cracks and holes could be found everywhere, especialy after it's second trip to the settlement.
The most however weak point of the ship were the engines, the main engines were abandoned with the detatched sections of the ship, but the secondary engines were still there, they were like 4 holes that led the creatures into the ship.
The Heroes had no idea that the monsters had already begun to dig through the engines since the repeated knocks on the spaceship made it impossible to tell where the sounds came from.
The monsters dug through the machinery in the engines and stealthily made their way inside. An injured Hero that rested at the side of the engines was the first to scream as his back was dug right through by a monster's head, popping out from inside him like a scene from the alien movies.
Chaos bloomed as the Heroes were now doing their best against the monster that had made its way inside.
Tian slid next to it and pierced the iron rod into its neck, green blood splashing. Tian turned the rod towards himself, cracking its neck, his plan was to use its body as an obstacle for the rest of the creatures.
Problem was that the wall he was standing against was trembling, he was sure that in no time more and more creatures would emerge from it.
The other heroes were both horrified and inspired, there was no way they wouldn't feel inspired, what Tian showed them was the future they could achieve, the Hero they could become.
The monsters didn't seem as dangerous with Tian by their side. The next head that popped out of that wall was impaled by an iron rod and the alien slowly died as his blood dripped down the rod.
George held the rod as steadily as he could as the monster resisted, causing itself more and more harm.
Jason quickly pulled George back as the creature went on a rampage, if not for Jason, George would have lost a hand right then and there.
George panted as his hands were shaking, there was a deep fear accompanied by an even deeper rage, he was disappointed with himself, he knew he could do better than this. He took another iron rod from the ground and shoved it right into the rampaging creature, shocking everyone, even Tian with this newfound tenacity and courage.
Nick smiled as he saw the once chubby George, who now looked no different than an average looking middle aged man.
Nick could feel the anger from George's every strike, every time he jabbed at he beast with the rod.
Nick wanted to applaud this change, but he knew that it would only draw attention to himself if he did, but a warm smirk was on his face as he saw these newbes become heroes.
At a corner Mike looked at him with hate in his eyes, he just couldn't stand his stand on all of this. He knew that Nick was no weaker than Tian, he knew that Nick was probably even stronger than Tian since he was in this death game even longer. He just couldn't undrestand why Nick didn't take responsibility and help them at the frontline like Tian.
Even Mike himself was holding an iron rod, thinking of helping somehow. If not for his fear of Nick, he would have long Killed him for his attitude, acting like a god overseeing the mortals as they suffer to achieve something miniscule, when he could easily just give it to them if he wanted to. Mike felt disgust for this sort of person, but he could do nothing about it, his plan to use Chris against him went down the drain because of Chris and Samson wouldn't be stupid enough to try and face a monster similar to Tian.
Samson who was one of the wounded sat horrified on the floor, he had just seen another one of his grunts die. He was angry at Tian for killing one of his men, but the second death came too suddenly for him to even react, all he could do was puke by the gruesome scene of his "friend" dying to that monster. It could have easily been him that had died while siting against that wall.
Only now did they trully understand the horror of this game of life and death, but what could they do. Those wounded could do nothing but wait for their deaths, while those healthy and strong could at any moment use them as bait or a meat wall. Of course Samson never regretted bullying others or taking their stuff, he felt that it was the way it should be and thus Tian's actions were also part of that, he could only curse his own weakness.
