The Truth is Out There

Zarden nodded and moved to sneak aout the back and around some buildings to get a closer look from a different angle

From a shattered window he spied it , shuffling about aimlessly , it was a mass of lumpy wax like flesh , a twisted mockery of a humanoid pale and shining slick with a slime it trailed across the floor. Failed stubs of vestigial limbs hanged from it's deformed torso , and instead of legs it had the lower body of a slug or snail. From it this foreign aura poured out in waves , as though the entire world were screaming that it just shouldn't be here.

arden turned on the camera feed on his high tech spy glasses so the agent could see what he was looking at on hers, and waited for her opinion on it

"...W-what is that?" Her voice came through breathless..scared almost, something he'd never heard from her before, then he heard something rustling behind him.

The alien's reflexes kicked in, in an instant; he dived forward rolling forward and turning in the roll, firing several laser rounds at whatever was behind him. He was calm, for he had seen creatures similar to these before, unlike the agent.

From the thick brush a warped body fell , several steaming laser holes in it's flesh...it was a human this one, but warped ,changed. It's flesh was a sickly blue purple and it's veins were thick and visible , pulsing even in death.

Quickly, and unphased the alien would check in the direction of the slug monster to check if it had noticed him, he hoped so, it would give him an excused to take a trophy back from this little venture....

A flailing fat arm smashed through the window as soon as he turned around , reaching out for him as the monsters mandibles drooled .

Zarden activates his wrist blades and two predator style wrist blades appear which he uses to slice off the arm

Dark blood spewed out towards him , and hissed on the ground like acid.

"Oh hell it's like an obese xenomorph keep your distance" Zarden contacts his partner with their high tech stuff to warn her; as he stepped back away from it

As he backed away the beast let out a low groaning call that shook him , rumbling and echoing through the deathly quiet streets...then another echoed back, an answer. From the alleys and garages , from the shattered houses and wrecked cars they crawled , more of the creatures. Each deformed and wretched shambling about towards him, to rip out his soul and devour it , to mangle his flesh and turn him into one of them.

Meanwhile Kara was silently making her way through a small house , it used to belong to the Reeds if she'd read the mailbox right, poor bastards.

"Alright... Let's do this..." The alien said emptying his laser pistol into the horde before activating his second wristblade and charging it; it was becoming clear they had very different approaches

One of the shambling beasts took a swing at him with a barbed 'arm' as another attempted to grab him from behind.

He ducked both and drove the blades upwards, going through the creatures's jaws and out their skulls. Quickly he combat rolled out of the way so he didn't get bogged down

As he cut down beast after beast with ease , he began to feel the asphalt beneath his feet rumbling.

He leaped to the side, if he had dealt with Rigelian sand worms before, and he had; he knew ground rumbling meant dive as far away as possible.

Unfortunately for him this was not a sandworm , and he found himself quickly out of his element as a massive shadow loomed over him and a gigantic hand swooped down to grab the alien in an iron grip.

Well he tried jump out of the way anyway slicing at it with his claws as he did

His slashes had little effect , whatever massive beast this was simply paying no mind and lifting a foot up to crush him.

Deciding it was time to shadow of the colossus this shit, he darted out of the way before jumping on top of the foot

A low gurgle came from whatever it was as it reached down , arm a gnarled ruined mess of flesh , strange eyes and bony ridged spikes.

Rolling in between the creature's fleshy fingers, The alien quickly leaped onto the back of its a hand, plunging in his wrist blades in as he did, and began to climb.

The beast let out another pained groan as he climbed it's grotesque flesh , wracked with the fused together bodies of dozens of desecrated dead. The carrion golem groaned again as he climbed up , stepping over faces , arms and bodies, and from it's twisted mouth spat up a dark ectoplasm towards him.

Zarden leaped off the creatures arm to avoid the ectoplasm that he wasn't sure was harmful, but was definitely gross; just as it looked like he was going to plummet to the earth he grew a pair of angelic wings and began to fly upwards.

The house the agent found herself in upon cursory inspection of each room seemed to be the home of a fairly normal family, except for one room with a black door that was locked.
