Power Room, Hades Facility, Northern Iraq

Sanchez heard the grenade detonate as he fired at the monsters closing in on them. He thought of his leader and friend. Imagining him pulling the pin and taking that creature to the afterlife with him. The sudden pain of the loss of his friend hit him hard. “Clarke,” he half whispered as if talking into the afterlife. For a second, he forgot about the surging death clawing towards him. Instead just stared towards the scaly beast that had taken his friend. It laid slumped at the far side of the power room. Not moving. Just a mass of scaly meat.

“Sanchez we gotta go!” Hawkins shouted as he cut down another creature that had closed in on them. He punched Sanchez in the shoulder hard, jolting him back to reality. “Sanchez! Come on man!” Sanchez spun round, back in the now. More creatures were pouring in through the door blocking their exit. Their skin changing colour to match the background like a chameleon, making the mass of death blur into one.

He nodded towards the control room where they had activated the power. “There! Move!” They both fired on the incoming monsters as they sprinted to the room. Slowing the beasts down with their bullets. They burst into the room. Sanchez instantly spun around and slammed the metal door shut as the creatures smashed against it. He locked it by sliding the large metal bolt across. The door shook and started to bend as the mass of death on the other side kept smashing against it. Clawing at it to get to their trapped prey inside.

“Shit! We are trapped!” Hawkins said as he aimed at the door waiting for them to burst through at any moment. More creatures leapt at the reinforced glass which vibrated violently as they tried to get through, but still held. Sanchez counted at least eight of them now. All clawing and tearing at the glass and door. Their deathly shrieks reaching them in the room. One smashed its head into the glass in rage. Its eight blood red eyes all focused on its prey. Its lipless mouth revealing razor teeth that glistened with saliva. The creature ran its long-forked tongue up the glass, leaving a wet trail, before it darted back to the door to continue smashing against it in a hungry rage.

He put his back against the wall next to his friend. Both aiming at the door which was slowly buckling under the destruction of the pack.

“Sorry brother.” Sanchez said with a sadness that cut into Hawkins soul.

“Fuck it. At least we are going out fighting! And together! Let's just take as many as we can!” They shared a faint smile and both nodded in camaraderie as they checked their weapons over, ready for the final assault that would bring their death.

The door suddenly bent inwards at the top. Claws appearing and trying to scratch further through the opening. Hisses and shrieks from the monsters echoed in the small room as they became closer and closer to breaching the door.
