"Uh, Tripp?" Tor struggled, "I don’t think she likes me. She doesn’t want to go."
"Jelly, bad girl," Bonnie shouted at her, "Go with Tor. He’ll take you to Wool. It’s for your own safety."
Jelly bushed her tail out in a fit of rage, disobeying a direct order. She bolted out of Botanix, refusing Tor’s offer to escort her.
"Damn it, Tor," Bonnie screamed at him, "Go and make sure she gets to Medix."
"Okay!"
He ran through the door and into the corridor after Jelly, "Come back, girl!"
Bonnie held her fists up as a Shanta approached her. She roared at it, forcing it toward her, “Ever heard of Jitsaku, you ugly critter?”
She punched it in the mouth with such force, its bone-like frame cracked in two and released a jellied substance - possibly its brain - to the ground, “That’s today’s training over with,” she said, butting her palms together.
The tree spider-climbed out of the ocean. The sheer size and weight of the monstrosity created a mini tidal wave, clearing some of the Shanta away in seemingly extreme slow motion.
"What did Wool say?" Bonnie asked Tripp.
Jaycee’s turret cleared enough of the approaching creatures to enable everyone to reload.
Tripp replaced his Rez-9 with a full magazine and aimed it at the hoard of approaching Shanta.
"Tripp? Answer me," Bonnie took aim at the army of beasts with her K-12 Combat leg-firearm. The tree’s ungodly stomps cracked the ground. It creaked the top of its body and squealed into the sky.
Certain death was on the way.
"I only have one mag left," Tripp said, avoiding the question. "Jaycee, you got any fresh?"
"Nah, I’m out. I got like two left, but they’re for the turret. It’s the only thing keeping these damn space invaders from smothering us."
"Tripp!" Bonnie stomped her smoking, mechanical leg to the ground, catching his attention, "Are you gonna answer me?"
Space Opera Beta slammed to the ground. The thrusters died out. The vibrations in the ship came to a halt.
The trio were twenty seconds away from a stampede of Shanta and the unfathomably large God-like antagonist that stormed behind them, wanting to finish off the job once and for all.
"Tripp?"
The Shanta pummeled through the wall and flooded into Botanix in great quantity.
Tripp cocked his K-SPARK and aimed at the first of at least a thousand creatures.
"Get ready guys," Jaycee punched the back of the floor-mounted K-SPARK turret, "It’s do or die time."
BLAM-BLAM-BLAMM-MM!
The turret swung left and right, unleashing its final magazine at the swathes of approaching Shanta.
Tripp squeezed his trigger and blasted the first of the creatures to messy, pink pieces.
"What did Wool say?" Bonnie asked. "What’s up with Jelly?"
Tripp trained one eye on her and then immediately back to the approaching monsters. He hooked his finger around the trigger, prepared to take a shot at the next creature.
"She’s pregnant…”
