"Beware Enemies of Phoenix."-Grifyth
PART 1: The Secret Hive
Grifyth sat shaken on the edge of consciousness darkness engulfed him but the sound of water dripping slowly off in the distance brought him back into the real world. He glanced around and cautiously took in his surroundings he had fallen into a hole after the Hive Queen he had been pursuing as a member of an elite hostile alien life extermination squad known as Phoenix had collapsed after being defeated by Grifyth and his crew. Realizing the ensuing earthquake had cause the ground to break away beneath his feet casting him further into the depths of the Infested Hive Planet. There was no light this far below the surface, the air was dank and had a musky scent, soft glows of green and red emanating off strange fungus from nearby rocks dimly lit the cavern walls. How many miles had he fallen below the surface? Grifyth thought grimly and then suddenly off in the dark he heard movement. The sounds of movement he had learned to recognize as a grim omen indeed during his time spent in the brighter surface caves. He dared to don his X-ray visors and he grimaced as he peered through the visors that clearly lit the cave confirming his fear as he looked once more upon his Alien foe.
The thrash and crack of a hoard of Alien mandibles and screeching claws as their stone like exoskeleton scrapped away against the stone was quickly making it's way towards him. Realising he had lost his Napalm Carbine in the quake Grifyths hands instinctively went to his Phoenix a pair of gold and chrome dual magnums rigged to fire masses of dark matter instantly vaporizing any foe, He groaned, the auxiliary packs were low on power and he was out of spares the long hunt for the Alien Queen had taken up most of his weapons power and he had not anticipated the sudden change of events. To his horror and dismay the roar of a Hive Queen... and another... and then another! echoed through the cavern halls shaking the earth beneath Grifyth and causing rubble and stone to come crashing down from the ceiling above. Fearing the gruesome death that would certainly find him had he stayed in the area he began to run as quickly as he could in the opposite direction of the pursuing Aliens. He ran through mile after mile of darkness and gloom he could feel his legs begin to ache from strenuous pace the vicious hoard of murderous alien monstrosity's were setting he knew he could not out run them sooner or later he would have to stand, Fight, and probably die.
That's when he saw it. A rock ledge a few feet off the ground large enough for one person to stand on... and fire into the faces of any unfortunate enemy race unwise enough to try and climb up after him. Grifyth scaled the rock and turned in time to see the terrifying noise that had been chasing him through the shadows take shape as a teaming mass of swarming red Aliens the Queen Grifyth could see was hearding her red children down the cavern halls towards the perch of rock where Grifyth had chosen to make his final stand. Almost instantaneously they were at the base of the stone pushing and fighting one another clearly jockeying for the best position to climb up the cavern wall. Each and every one wanted to be the first to tear into the succulent humanoid flesh that was known to be a delicacy to this particular breed of Alien and presenting the maimed corpse to their ruthless queen was an honorable and glorious victory. The Crimson Alien were famous for their brutality and blood lust. Grifyth unloaded as soon as one of the alien began to crest over the side of the ledge a single bolt of dark matter vaporized the creature.
Grifyth fired one round after another in rapid succession carefully targeting the heads of the vicious reds cackling and taunting the encroaching alien force as flashes from the muzzles of his chrome phoenix's dark matter bolts lit the cave around him. Grifyth lasted only a couple of minutes before he had been completely overrun on all sides. The long insecticidal limbs of his enemies lashed out at him seeking to impale him on their spear like exoskeleton but Grifyth masterfully parried and dodged each blow the tips of his guns adeptly weaving into the openings left by the Alien limbs dark matter flying turning his enemies to dust around him. The years he had spent training in the UC marines and the experience of many battles he had fought on foreign worlds as a member of Phoenix guided his every motion. He had graduated the academy with full military honors and earned the title of Weapons Master. But the Weapon Masters luck finally ran out. The auxiliary packs that powered Grifyths weapons went dark and his chrome phoenix would fire no more. Fighting desperately while unarmed he used his pistol handles as clubs and began to smash in the skulls of the oncoming army of Aliens. He was glad he had decided to wear his blade tech on the trip. The armor turned his every limb into a weapon each leg and arm was equipped with several lethal holographic blades. With each parry feint and dodge he put one extremity or another within striking range of the alien severing limbs and heads and cutting the aliens soft underside whenever the opportunity presented itself. The queen came over the ledge out of surprising Grifyth catching the entangled Weapons Master off guard and sending him flying into the wall at his back with one twist of its dense stone like head.
The wall crumbled from the force of the impact for the second time this day Grifyth found himself once again falling into blackness.
PART: 2 A Deal With A Devil
He scrambled backwards as he hit the stone floor and snapped his head towards the gaping entrance his body had made as it crashed through the caves wall. The Aliens swarmed over every inch but they were being held back by some sort of magical barrier then he heard the telepathic voice of a demon speaking directly to his mind," It seems that like Myself you have gotten yourself into a bit of trouble." the voice spoke as though it were mocking him. Enraged but confused the Weapons Master managed to keep his cool, " You and I are nothing alike evil one." He replied evenly.
"We are both trapped in the depths of this vile planet forced into hiding or imprisonment in My case by the traitorous race of Scorn Alien that trapped me here. The impudent fools actually believed that I would not be free one day but I am eternal and had to wait not very long here when you consider an eternity. Now an opportunity presents itself there lie your pistols on the ground powerless and here is all of my demonic energy trapped in this cave and now we both might be free if you are willing to make a deal." The demons dark voice resonated through his thoughts hinting at freedom and a cryptic deal. Grifyth scrutinized every word the demon said trying to decipher what sort of deal the Demon could possibly want to make. "Get to the catch demon I do not want to spend an eternity in this nightmare." Grifyth spoke bluntly he did not enjoy riddles or surprises. " I will lend you my power sealing my soul into your weapons giving them energy and powers the like of which you have never known!" the demon sounded triumphant. Grifyth was cautious he had heard from UC Marine scientists that the demon spirits the Scorn enemy utilized were no small force to be trifled with but he knew there was no other choice. "What's in it for you?" he snapped at the demon within his mind. "Freedom of course! in exchange for my power you will release me from your weapons once we escape this place." The demon had read the mans thoughts already and knew he would accept before the words even left the Weapon Masters mouth. "I accept you deal Vile Creature!" grifyth roared at the nothingness that engulfed him and the demon in his head.
His weapons levitated into the air and the energy of the evil demon emanated from the pistols the power twisting and shaping the metal in a much darker sinister form. The four hearts of the demon materialized on either side of both guns the dark power pulsing along the sides of the weapon that itself was black as a moonless night. Grifyth reached out and grasped his new Demon possessed Phoenix in his hands. He felt a sudden burst of adrenaline and power as the ethereal energy of the demon made it's way through every fiber of his being. A sudden burst of power from beyond the magical barrier sent a group of the Alien Aggressors flying into the air. Grifyth shot from the entrance of the chamber like a bullet the combined power of the demon making him faster and stronger than any average field operative. With the unrivaled rate of fire and damage per second that could be attributed to a demon powered fully automatic dual pistols with dual barrels that were constantly spinning in clockwise counter clockwise motion as the Weapon Master rained death upon his enemy. He exterminated the hoard easily enough dancing adeptly in between his enemies pistols flashing brilliantly in the dark. He laughed maniacally as he fought his way into the darkness there was a very long ways to go to the surface. Grifyth fought brutally for every inch and when he finally made it back to the surface and to his Phoenix Head Quarters all were surprised to see him and in awe of his new found dual-pistols. During a debriefing the demon within the guns learned that the team would next be sent to hunt down the scorn... there was nothing the evil entity wanted to do more than kill the Scorn. Besides he had come to like having Grifyth as a host. He told the Weapons master he would stay within the Phoenix for as long as they would be used to destroy the scorn that had imprisoned the evil one for so long. Grifyth enjoying his new found strength was in no hurry to get rid of the Demon...
END.
