Chapter 5.5: The Unseen Forces Move

Mark’s Group – Escape from the Nightmare Cave

The cave collapsed behind them, sealing in the twisted flesh-beast that had once been human, arachnid, and parasite combined. The explosion from the Titan Mecha's cannons had bought them time—but not much.

Mark coughed as dust filled the air, gripping his rifle tightly. "Everyone alive?!"

Jonathan’s hammer slammed against the rock, clearing a path. "Not dead yet."

Sophie pulled Rhea to her feet, both of them covered in dust. "We can’t stay here. It’ll find another way out."

From behind the rocks, the grotesque mass of fused corpses let out a chilling, gargled shriek. It wasn’t dead. It was digging its way out.

Mark looked to the Titan Mecha, its plating still smoking from battle. It had just enough energy left for one last powerful burst.

Mark: "Jonathan, take the survivors and MOVE! Rhea, cover our exit!"
