Eve spun towards Cassandra, hand out, shouting, “No.”

The distraction followed by the action did not spell the shield’s end. It sufficiently damaged the structural integrity of the barrier that when next it faced Echidna’s fists, it shattered.

The broken energy hit Eve and sent her tumbling across the room.

The monster roared. Doc and Omi began to fire while Grendel roared and pounced, and Sandra fled.

“Get out,” Omi roared to Hattie and Delilah. “Go now.”

At first, Omi and Doc had been firing into the beast’s mask-like face. The bullets seemed to vanish upon meeting the white sheet but did no damage. They moved to firing at the muscular torso.

Two of the beast’s hands met Doc’s chest like rocket powered sledgehammers, sending him screaming across the room, crashing into a work station, landing on the crumbling remains of two of Echidna’s previous victims.

“Go, go, go,” Omi shouted.

Instead of running, Delilah tried approaching Omi. Hattie grabbed the girl’s hand but could not pull her daughter away. Rising to her knees, Eve looked to them. With a flick of the wrist, she shoved Delilah, giving Hattie the impetus to drag her daughter down the corridor, away from the mayhem.

Bullets continued to smash Echidna’s chest but caused little pain. The only damage Eve could see was a tiny cut dead centre. Graham must have seen the same. He dived upon the creature’s back and bought his hands to the wound, trying to dig his sharp nails inside.

Despite the lack of a mouth, the beast squealed. One arm grabbed Graham’s left wrist. One grabbed the right. The third got the throat and squeezed, tighter and tighter. Graham tried to roar, but only a wheeze escaped. His hands went loose around Echidna’s torso, prompting her to release his wrists.

With all three hands, she threw him from her back, into the far wall. He landed in a heap and did not move.

Eve was standing. The whole bout had taken mere seconds.

Omi’s gun ran dry. He searched for a clip, but the creature shot towards him, grabbed him by the throat, lifted him into the air.

Now the guard hung above the creature. She pointed his face to her white mask; began to lower his helpless body.

Eve spied the hole in the monster’s chest. Graham had made it a little wider. Green blood seeped out and ran in a line down the bare torso.

Omi’s face touched Echidna’s mask; he screamed.

Eve pointed at Echidna’s chest. The beast howled. For a couple more seconds, she held Omi, then her hand unclasped. Omi fell.

She turned to Eve.

With one hand, she covered the hole in her chest. That wasn’t enough to stop Eve who used her mind to pull at the edges, ripping the flesh wider and wider, releasing more and more blood.

Despite the pain in which she must have been, Echidna began towards Eve. From somewhere, a low growl left the beast. Because of the ever-widening wound, she moved more slowly than she had. Still, if she reached Eve, it would be over.

The wound became a gaping hole, but wouldn’t kill her quickly enough.
