As he ran through the gate, bright red eyes began to glow from all sides. He gauged the situation, there appeared to be many minions backed up by heavier mammals that he had found out in his research were called hildebears... only, they were supposed to be docile despite their size. The bizarre creatures flowed round to his left as if they had one mind, and suddenly without warning swarmed in. Claws and teeth, everywhere.
He cut through one of the minions only to find it replaced by another. Swathes upon swathes emerging as if from nowhere. Then, to his far right he glanced an opening in the ground. This was where many of the creatures were emerging from. When he saw an opening in the screen of enemies he pelted over to the caves gaping entrance, like two huge jaws. He opened his right and left arm compartments, from one compartment he threw a high explosive charge down the entrance to the cave, and from the other he took out a chemical charge and hurled it into the enemies.
Rapidly the demented animals became angered further, an in-experienced observer may have thought he had just sealed his own fate but the beasts had become so distraught with rage they had begun to slay each other. Soon all that was left was a bloody mess on the floor.
There was a dull thudding from behind. Dusk looked around and saw something that would have made his insides churn had he been a mere human. He gazed up into the eyes of a hildebear, but it didn't look like the others he had seen. It towered above him; it was a monster of a monster! It was covered in almost steely grey armour and its shoulder horns were gigantic. Its very mouth seemed to breathe the scent of death corruption and decay.
It lunged at him and his sword arm was ripped clean off. He dived for cover, behind some kind of pillar (he had learned from officials on Pioneer 2 these were built by the citizens of Pioneer 1 as a commemoration of their landing, but this he could not believe) and he quickly produced a small pistol from his left leg hatch with his remaining un-afflicted arm. Hot photon energy buzzed through the cool air creating waves of moisture as it flew to strike its' target right between the eyes. It did not seem to affect the lumbering beast in the slightest.
It suddenly looked as if it were about to vomit, Dusk moved out of cover to try and take advantage of the situation but then came something vulgar. A huge ball of pure decay flew from the beastâs jaws, it smelled of death and somehow Dusk knew this would be what it would bring. It struck his left leg, and instantly it rusted away as if it were as ancient as the rest of the planets relics, Dusk fell backwards into an unseen well, covered by undergrowth and he remembered no more. Darkness engulfed him, his screaming sensors faded-through one by one. Darkness he thought would be his reckoning for a crime he had not committed.
