Chapter 11: Tyranids (pt.2)
Continued from Chap. 10
As the Tyranid Warriors closed in, I blared a song from my speakers and charged. The first Warrior lashed out with it's talons, scoring my armor and leaving a scratch on my hull, I repaid the favor by smashing it aside with my power fist and leaving it a crushed mess. The second Warrior was more cautious and fired its Deathspitter at me. Knowing that the projectiles could melt through my armor, I changed into my power armored form and summoned my jump pack, and just barely managed to dodge the live ammo.
(And yes, Tyranids do use living ammunition, and it's as nasty as you think it is!)
I then summoned a Thunder Hammer and Storm shield and used my jump pack to leapfrog the Warrior and engage the Prime.
"You've messed with the wrong town, Xenos!" I snarled. The leader-beast roared in response and swung its Bonesword at me. I raised my shield and blocked the blow, only to be lashed by the whip.
Damn it, this isn't going to work! I'm gonna need to change tactics!
With that thought, I changed my weapons to the pair of lighting claws known as the Raven's Talons, Shadow Captain Shrike's signature weapons. When the Lash Whip came at me again. I sliced it in half, but left myself open to the Bonesword. That nearly cost me my life.
The Bonesword made a huge rent in my armor, if I hadn't been dodging, I would've been sliced in half!
As it was, I was severely wounded by the slash.
"AAAHH!"
Meanwhile, Sebaste took out the last Warrior with his Sniper rifle. He then leaped from his spot and ran towards the melee, summoning a Gravity Hammer in the process. Seeing him, the Prime turned and fired its weapon symbolites, giving me enough time to lunge forward and slam both Talons into the creature.
It let out a pained screech and turned, only to get slammed by the Grav Hammer.
"How'd ya like that, ya Alien reject?!" Seb taunted
Apparently it did not like it at all, and slashed with its remaining weapon at us.
"We've gotta take that thing down now!" I said.
Sebaste nodded, we both then retreated while summoning our more devastating ranged weapons.
I was armed with a Lascannon, while Sebaste was armed with a Plasma launcher.
"Ready...."
The Prime charged forward.
"Aim...."
It was now 30 feet from us.
"FIRE!"
Both our weapons fired at the same time, the grenades hitting first and sticking to the Prime before detonating. Both its Bonesword and spinefists were destroyed, leaving the creature roaring in pain, then the las-beam hit, killing it instantly.
We both stood there panting, looking at the devastation.
" Looks like another week of repairs." I said.
Sebaste nodded. "This is gonna be one heck of a report, no doubt about that!" he said.
I mumbled an agreement, wincing in pain from the wound I had gotten from the fight.
"Let's get you to the hospital, that wound looks like it could turn nasty."
I nodded and both of us headed over to Ponyville Central.
