Arachnoia

"Soldiers! Today's the day we go to face your first S Ranked Tyrant, also known as Arachnoia." Commander announced to every soldier.

"She is Spider Lady type Tyrant. Be aware, she can release webs as well. They are so strong that if you try to take out by force, you can't, and even if you do succeed, you end up pulling your skin too." Parker announced. "In this mission, Captain won't be present. He is called by the General for some important task. However, he approved that Spec Ops would function according to Commander's orders, and in his absence, James Norman to be the In-Charge of the Squad."

"What? Captain won't be in this so much important mission?" Erik asked.

"Don't worry kid. We can handle the situation even without him." A man with slightly curly, light brown hair styled in an undercut and with small hazel eyes, replied to Erik.

"Aren't you getting overconfident Owen?" A relatively short woman with shoulder-length light ginger hair that has bangs swept to the left side and amber-colored eyes, said to the light brown haired man.

"Hey James? Can you really take care of our team?" An average heighted man with a slightly darker skin tone, asked James Norman.

"I know its a big responsibility but we'll do what we can. Don't forget we were handpicked by Captain. We can do this. Right?" A man with brown eyes and long blond hair which had a middle parting and a bun folded at the back to keep his hair tied, also with a small beard and a serious face told to the team. "We will do it Garrett, have faith in yourself." James said to the average heighted man.

"I believe you." Garrett replied.

"Phoebe! Owen! stop debating now please!" Erik said to both Owen and ginger haired woman.

"Alright! Listen carefully!" Commander called for everyone's attention. "Parker will discuss the plan with us."

"So James Norman, Garrett Graham, Owen Vincetti, Erik Spencer and Phoebe Rhodes. These are all your names right?" Parker asked.

"Yes mam!" everyone replied in unison.

"Alright! So Spec Ops team! You will all be ahead. Try to lure the Tyrant to other Ops members while we set up the trap. If required, Agent Lycan, transform. Got it!?" Parker told.

"Yes!" Spec Ops replied.

"And remaining team got it!? Remember how we practised?" Parker asked the other Ops members.

"Yes mam!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Alright then! Prepare yourselves! We leave in half an hour." Commander ordered.

Everyone saluted then left. The moment Erik was leaving the room, he met Madelyn and Aaron.

"Erik! How are you? Are you fine? Are you ok? Did Captain torture you a lot in the name of experiments? Please tell me!" Madelyn asked.

"Madelyn, Madelyn, let him speak. If you won't let him, how would he speak?" Aaron said, trying to calm Madelyn with a nervous laughter.

"Madelyn, don't worry, I am fine, earlier it was troublesome, but now I am lot stronger than before. I can deal with the stuff on my own." Erik replied.

"Are you sure you can do it? It is a great task. You know that right?" Madelyn ask with a concerned look.

"I will fight. Don't worry." Erik replied with confident tone.

"Let our Captain come, I'll personally look into this matter. How can he be absent while his team is going in such danger." Madelyn grunted.

"Sis! Chill! He's Captain. He has some other duties as well. Moreover, I am with his team, Spec Ops, you forgot? Everyone is worth 500 soldiers. Plus me, who can at least take on a Tyrant. We will definitely win without our Captain." Erik tried to assure.

"Erik!" Madelyn said with tearful eyes.

Erik hugged her and told, "All will be fine."

"Erik! Its time to leave! Aren't you coming!?" Phoebe asked from distance.

"Coming!" Erik replied to her.

"Its time to leave. All the best both of you." Erik said to Madelyn and Aaron.

"Don't worry we will." Aaron replied.

Few hours later

"James! We found the Arachnoia!" Garrett yelled.

"Alright! Remember your plan! And avoid its web at all costs!" James ordered.

"Alright!" Everyone replied in unison.

Arachnoia appeared out of nowhere, screaming on top of her lungs. She was a 10-ft tall Tyrant with Upper portion resembling a maiden and lower body resembling a gigantic spider. She had claws and shot webs from her mouth and abdomen.

She started shooting web while running faster. An intense chase begun.

"James! Shall I transform!?" Erik asked.

"Alright! Do it quick!" James yelled.

Erik's body twitched and suddenly, he started growing in size, and in no time he converted into the Lycan Tyrant. He quickly ran towards Arachnoia quickly dodging her web attacks, and at the end, he pounced on her head, and desperately tried to pull its jaws apart to break it, but suddenly, she shoots webs from her mouth which gets stick on his face, covering his eyes. Then Arachnoia makes a cut with her pincers in the back of his neck, which turned him back to his human form. Then she covered him in her web and started heading towards other Spec Ops members who saw the whole scenario in terror.

"What just happened here?" Owen asked.

"She took him." Phoebe yelled in shock.

"Darn it! Everyone! Don't stop! Run!" James ordered.

But it was too late.

Few moments later

"What happened to them? Why aren't they arriving?" Jacob asked.

"What if-" Ciaran begun but stopped immediately.

"No. Erik is with them, remember?" Selena countered.

"Uh oh." Aaron said. He quickly turned around and saw Madelyn missing.

"Madelyn ran away towards them! Quick! Lets follow her!" Aaron told his friends.

Aaron, Selena, Ciaran and Jacob followed Madelyn to reach the spot where Spec Ops should be present. On the other side, Parker was notified that Madelyn and friends left for Spec Ops' location. "We'll go there as well! Quick!" she said, and everyone deployed.

When Madelyn and friends reached, what they saw was horrifying. Every remaining Spec Ops member tangled badly in Arachnoia's webs, brutally killed. Owen's neck seperated from his body, Phoebe's back broken, Garrett's femur coming out of hips and James' head missing. It was traumatising.

"Where's Erik?" Madelyn asked.

"Probably the Tyrant took him." Aaron said, still can't removing his eyes from the corpses of Spec Ops members.

"I'm going for Erik." Madelyn said.

"Madelyn! Wait!" Aaron called but she didn't listen and left.

"Aaron! What's going on there!?" Parker's voice asked from distant.

"Spec Ops is no more!" Aaron replied hesitantly.

"What!?" Parker asked in shock. She quickly approached them and saw the whole scenario. She was dumb for a few moment.

"Where's Madelyn?" she asked.

"Erik was no where to be found, so we thought Erik was taken by the Tyrant. So Madelyn went behind the Tyrant to bring Erik back." Aaron replied.

"Is she nuts or what!? She saw this didn't she?" Parker said infuriated.

"Yes mam." Aaron replied with fear.

"Damn girl. (To a soldier) Quickly! Contact Lionel. He can handle the situation pretty well." Parker said.

"Ok mam!" the soldier replied.
