A surface-to-surface missile struck the monster, fired from another nearby Warthog. The explosion shook the ground, and the familiar thump reached Ellis. The fireball faded away and the massive creature still stood there on the blackened ground, unmoved. The beast struggled forward, skin burning. It didn’t seem to feel any pain as it reached for the Warthog skidding past and yanked a soldier from the vehicle.
	Ellis gasped as it ripped the man apart. Blood sprayed through the air as limbs smacked to the ground.
	Another missile struck, and this time the beast toppled forward.
