Chapter 129: Forbidden Mission Part 3

"Holy fuck!" Jace swerves backwards.

"Shit!" someone else calls, everyone fleeing from the crumbling boulder.

I'm back a few yards but I'm pretty sure my heart has stopped. I can't look away. All those tiny red eyes flickering, searching, as the entire Gorgen crawls over the fragment and plunges another sharp tooth into the remaining rock.

They are all coming.

"This way!" Sampson calls, racing from the rock formation with Clarence, Qippert, Werzo, Booker and Jace on his tail. I'm heading behind them but the Gorgen leg reaches out, swatting near Reid and I, blocking our path.

"Boss!" Tucker yells. "Fallon!"

Everything happens so quickly.

The Gorgen swings at us again, three legs cutting across our way and I'm momentarily paralyzed at the size of the teeth. I gulp, unsure what to do, where to go. How can something like this exist? In my second of hesitation, it leaps off the rock wall, aiming to separate Reid and me. It succeeds as Lalu takes the initiative and jets backwards.
