In a mere second, POP! Bella's eyes widened as big as the eyes of an owl and she zoned back in and with not a moment to spare, she leaped off the rocks pulling her knives out and landed on the top of one of the creatures; stabbing the first in the back of its head, slicing the second's head off and stabbing the third one as well. She then flipped forward and landed on the cave floor, with Sue in between her legs, and went beast mode on the creatures. SCHWING! SCHWING! SCHWING! Bella sliced and stabbed them everywhere; in their mouths, across their chests, in their necks, across their necks and even slicing their hands off as they tried to grab her, as their pink blood splattered everywhere.The creatures tried to put their hands on her and bite her but her skill wouldn't let them. Whenever one was close to doing so Bella's lightning quick reflexes caught them and she reacted; so quick the other players were blown away, the viewers too whose jaws had dropped all the way down to the lap
"Players of Outlive, welcome to level 8," Lora's voice said to the viewers and the players who were standing in the middle of a medium sized transparent tunnel that connected the small shape ship behind them to the much bigger one in front of them. They were in outer space and right in the middle of a nebula that had clouds of dust and gas glowing purple, pink and blue and had over a thousand sparkling stars in it; and what a sight it was that both the players and the viewers were blown away by it immediately they saw it."Oh wow that is gorgeous," a woman watching on her laptop said."Oh man check out that view, very nice," a man watching on his TV said."Oh my gosh look at that, WOW," a girl watching on her tablet said."Wow," Bella said breathless as she and the other players stood looking around in complete awe; neither of them had ever seen anything like it. It was one thing seeing pictures of what space looked like but being right in the middle of it was absolutely spectacular.
The creature ran down the passageway towards the players and Bella pulled her other gun out, spun them both around like a cowboy and pointed them forward. The creature was just as Mandy had said; tall and slimy. It was dark grey in colour with the face of an angler fish but with bigger eyes and larger teeth that protruded outwards and huge frills on the side of its head. It had a few spines poking out of its back like a porcupine and had four hands like a praying mantis; hands it used to run that were slender and sharp like massive needles, with dinosaur-like legs that bent backwards. "Oh-my-GOSH!" a boy watching on his laptop shouted. "Aah!" two best friends watching on a laptop shouted as they moved in close to each other. Like all the other creatures OutLive had thrown at them this one too was straight out of a nightmare. BANG! BANG! BANG! Bella opened fire at the creature as the others were so taken aback by its nature that all they did was back away, with Mandy even losing her
Bella stood her ground and covered the other players with more head shots that blew the creature's up like watermelons, as on top of the wooden cabinet Mandy continued to freak out. "Come on Mandy you gotta move!" Den shouted. "Mandy come on, I'm right here. You're not going to do it alone, I'm right here," Sue said; she had even backed up a little more. "I can't," Mandy cried on. "I'm sorry I can't." "Ugh for cyring out loud Mandy, we do not need this right now!" a man watching on his laptop shouted. "I'm sorry do you not see the legion of aliens coming at you, this is so not the time to freak out," a girl watching on her tablet said. "You're going to get everybody killed." "Mandy please. You have to move or we're all going to die, please," Reggie said. "Mandy you can do this," Den said as he softly placed his hand on her thigh. "No I can't. I'm freaking out so bad." "I can see that but you are braver than this. Goodness Mandy you made it to level 8, all those monsters you've
"Help!" Reggie shouted on as he tried to pull the creature off of him but it was stuck like glue; and not only did its mandibles continue to crush his helmet but its tail began to coil tighter around his neck.The players sprung into action; one of their own was down and they were without a doubt going to do something about it."Mandy, Sue help him, we'll handle them," Den said and they quickly got to it, as the big alien creatures were much closer than they were before."O.k.," Sue said and ran to slide across the counter top and dropped in the aisle that Reggie and Mandy were in, as Bella and Den got up onto the counter tops and began to take as many creatures out as they could.SHRIEK! SHRIEK! SHRIEK! They went as they kept coming at them and BOOF! BOOF! BOOF! They were shot right in their heads and blew up, splashing blood and gut bits all over."It's crushing my helmet and it's choking me, help!" Reggie shouted on; seeing his life flash pretty close in front of his eyes.Sue and
"Oh heck no, absolutely not, count me so out," a girl watching on her laptop said. "Oh my sweet goodness!" a man watching on his TV shouted as he threw his hands over his head. He knew something was obviously going to happen but he didn't think that it was going to be that extreme. The players stood looking on as the giant tentacles slipped off the walkway and went back into the water as they then returned to the size of the other tentacles and continued waving about. "O.k. it's settled, we're absolutely 100% finding another way," Reggie said and was about to climb back into the vent but Bella stopped him. "Hold it, I'm pretty sure we said no to that," she said. "Look at what is before us Bella, there is no way we're going to make it to the other side without being completely squished and dying." "I know it looks bad but we can't go back." "She's right," Den agreed. "We losing time quick, we have to keep moving." "Moving where? Out there? Are the two of you in the actual high r
Bella ran on down the walkway with the tentacles splatting behind her. The danglings sacs began to shake as the maggot-like creatures inside started moving about faster; like they were about to burst out."Oh no, those things are about to pop open, that's not good," a boy watching on his phone said"Go! Go! Go!" a girl watching on her tablet shouted.Den, Sue, Reggie and Mandy stood watching on with their hearts in their mouths; she just straight up made a run for it and they were scared for her life; looking on and hoping that she made it.Bella reached the end of the walkway and sliding across the floor she then turned herself around whilst pulling her guns out and faced where she had come from, ready to shot anything that decided to come at her but nothing did. The second she was off the walkway the tentacles went back into the water and the dangling sacks stopped shaking; everything went back to the way it was and they all took a second to relax, giving out the hugest sighs of rel
Bella stood watch as Den, Sue, Reggie and Mandy walked up to one of the metal shelves and began to carefully remove from it the two drums of fuel; the two fuel drums that were the sole purpose of their mission, to return them to their ship in the time they had been allocated so that they could finish the level and call it a night. It sounded simple enough but it was far from it; the points Bella needed to have covered were many and the fuel drums each weighed a 100kgs and they had to make sure to get them off without bumping into or stepping on the creatures' tentacles that were dangling down the sides. "Oh man, those things are going to wake up I just know it," a girl watching on her laptop with her sister said. "Why are they so big?" her sister asked. "Oh my gosh they are so big they're seriously creeping me out. Gosh everything in this game is creeping me out." "Well they did promise us an experience like no other." "Yep and a job well done to them." The four managed to remov
