FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 9!
***************************************************************
The grey with the device in its hand started towards Merrow, but before it could do anything she touched both Big and Hammerskold on the shoulders.
“You’re both free of his hold, I had been waiting to do this but only got it to work now.”
She then reached over and touched Choopie as well and then flew up to the top of the tank. Hammerskold began firing at the greys, but they seemed to have some sort of force field surrounding them, so he switched tactics and aimed for the beasts instead. Big found a computer setup on the side of the tank. He went to it and saw that it was linked to the main server of the compound. Choopie looked for some kind of weapon and saw that one of the beasts that Hammerskold took down had a club of sorts. He ran over and picked it up, having a little trouble as it was a little big for him.
Creeping up behind one of the greys he swung at its head. Expecting to hit the force field he was surprised to find he connected and sent the little alien flying. The other two greys looked at each other then turned their attention to Choopie, before he had a chance to do anything he was lifted into the air and started to flail around. Getting a grip on himself he threw the club at one of the greys and knocked it out, but he was still being held up by the other one.
“Your attempts at escape are futile, you will never be able to get free from here!!” Boomed throughout the room as more beasts and a few more greys came in from all sides.
“Big, I hope you have some idea what you’re doing over there!” yelled Hammerskold.
“I think so….this system is just so, for lack of a better word, alien.”
“Well hurry it up we’re-“ he was cut off as one of the beasts swung at him knocking him clear across the room, he managed to hold onto the gun and fire at the beast until he hit the wall.
Meanwhile Merrow was busy at the top of the tank trying to find a way in.
“What do you think you’re doing up there little nymph? There’s no way into here if that’s what you’re thinking.”
“Not looking for a way in, looking to make sure there’s now way out.”
“What?!”
At that she placed her hands on the top of the tank and started chanting. The fluid in the tank started to swirl around as her chanting got louder. Her body started to glow brightly and the lead grey started to squirm as much as was possible inside the tank. Figuring out what was happening he started to scream filling the room with a cacophonous roar, changing to a slow gurgle. The fluid in the tank kept swirling around him then it started entering his body through any possible orifice it could. The greys and beasts fell to the ground from the telepathic screams, Choopie finally free fell to the ground as well.
Hammerskold, Big and Choopie all stared in awe at the brightly glowing Merrow and her magic assault on the lead grey. Soon all the fluid was gone from the tank, the lead grey looking like a more bloated, stretched version of itself. It clawed at the tank as its eyes grew enormous. Screaming again, the gang covered their ears then the grey imploded inside the tank refilling it with fluid and body parts.
“Aw gross, that’s just….aw man, I just threw up in my mouth, that was just wrong on sooo many levels!” said Choopie.
Merrow stopped glowing and let go of the tank then she fell towards the floor. Hammerskold ran over and caught her looking down at her as she passed out. The greys and the beasts all seemed to be out cold, Big tried to check if they were dead or not but was unable to tell.
They all turned at a sound behind them which sounded like a loud pop, and floating there with a look of terror on her face was Molly…..

FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 8!!!
“MOLLY!!!”
All four screamed and tried again to break free of the hold put upon themselves, but with the same result, nothing.
“What have you done with her?” asked Big. “How is it you have the ability to get her to ascend?”
“Ascend? Is that what you think I did? No she didn’t ascend, quite the opposite, she descended.” The creature chuckled, well more like chortled, as it was more of a laughter filled with fluids.
“What do you want with us? If we’re that much trouble why not just get rid of us all then?”
“I’d like to vote a firm ‘no’ on that Big,” said Choopie.
“What do we want of you? You would have found that out had you not escaped from the lab. We’ve been collecting specimens from this planet, and while we’ve have ample supplies, our encounters with those of your kind have been oh so rare.”
“Our kind? What’s he mean by that?” questioned Choopie.
“What I mean by that little ‘Goatsucker’ is all the different mystical or mythical creatures this planet has hidden amongst its dark corners. We’ve been trying to find more of you but have had no luck. The humans are fine but our attempts at alteration have been mostly failures. Our enforcers, we have been able to almost perfect, but we still have errors in the DNA of our subjects. We had hoped to try and see what we could do with any one of you, but then you had to go and cause that trouble I spoke about.”
“Yes we’ve come to understand that that is one of your reasons for being here, but there’s never been any proof of your existence. Let alone that you have set up shop under our very noses.”
“We have been here for longer than you think. While you’re government thinks that we come here in our ships, it’s the opposite. Our ships aren’t taking people into space they’re bringing them back underground.”
“And what of the ‘hole’ we found? What’s the significance of that?”
“Hole? What hole?”
“The one found in what we call
“Oh, yes. While it can be considered a hole, it’s evidently a poorly hidden vent.”
“Vent? What for?”
“So many questions, but I’ll humor you anyway. We need to exhaust our various duct work somewhere. It can get very stifling down here with all of the things we are in the process of doing.”
“That doesn’t explain how come people have experienced with regards to them.”
“Well we do release various radiations and waste at times from the vents. Some of what we use in our experiments can cause different effects upon your kind.”
“Now it makes sense. You said vents-how many are there?”
“It matters not just know that the problems with your atmosphere aren’t just your doing.”
“What?”
“Our little question and answer session is over I’m afraid. We’ve finished readying our other lab for you.” A door opened to their left and more of the beasts entered the room along with a few of the greys one of which was holding some sort of device in its hand.
“I believe you’ll be a lot more cooperative this time and to convince you to do so we have a little something special for the pretty little nymph here.”
