--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The enormous fleshy shape continues to move through the water, straight towards the Nightfury. However, before reaching the stealth supercarrier, it dives down, leaving Freedom of Justice looking over the edge of the dock.

All of a sudden, the creature leaps out of the water. Its enormous maw spreads unnaturally wide as it snaps onto the back-end of the supercarrier and anchors itself in place by gripping onto the ship.


(Thomas Scott): GET THE HELL OFF!


Freedom of Justice begins firing off plasma blasts at the creature, blowing off chunks of it with each blast. Although it's visibly injured by the assault, the creature continues to clamp down on the Nightfury; it now begins to consume the ship.

As the Warmonger prepares to fire again, he notices something strange and lowers his weapon; the beast's wounds are already healing at an incredibly fast rate. Mere seconds have passed, and already most of its wounds have healed up. The creature, still paying no mind to the machine that was just shooting at it, continues to tear up and devour several parts of the supercarrier.

As it continues doing so, its skin starts to change, beginning to show an almost mechanical look to it. Freedom of Justice, not one to simply let it devour the single largest flying vehicle in history, takes a few steps back before running full speed at the feeding animal and tackling the creature. Both of them fly straight into the water, with the rest of the Nightfury and part of the dock coming off with them.

The two combatants land with a thud on the seafloor, and the rest of the debris falls down with them. Both get up and are now facing each other; Freedom of Justice watches the beast intently. The creature, now greatly angered by its opponent interrupting its consumption, lets loose a low and alien-sounding roar.

At this signal, the Warmonger preps both of his electrified blades and charges forwards; the creature charges as well. Both combatants collide, with the resulting collision sending out a concussive wave that kicks up a large amount of sand.

The beast cries out, for the pits of its arms have been pierced by Freedom of Justice. In response, a large opening forms over the animal's left shoulder that emits a yellow a glow.

The Warmonger moves his head to the right just in the nick of time to dodge an energy blast before moving back to position. However, before he can continue with his assault, the creature fires again, prompting the machine to dodge again.


(Thomas Scott): Goddammit, just die already!!


Freedom of Justice forces his blades upwards, cutting clean through the creature's body and severing both arms off at once; it cries out in pain and backs off a bit. It looks down to the seafloor, and the Warmonger notices its arm stumps beginning to regenerate.


(Thomas Scott): Oh no you don't!


Now aware of its regenerative capabilities, the Freedom of Justice charges in with blades raised. However, anticipating this move from its opponent, the beast quickly looks up and lets loose an energy blast from its shoulder "cannon", blasting the machine a fair distance away.

Now seeing that it has incapacitated its opponent for the moment, the creature turns its attention back towards the Nightfury and heads in its direction; it begins to feast once more. The creature consumes over half the ship, and its size slowly grows.

As it continues to consume the supercarrier, its skin begins to take on a dark black colour, the texture changing to resemble that of a machine. However, before it can finish, a sharp pain is sent through its body, and blood spurts from its maw as it rears it upwards.

The Freedom of Justice has his hand shoved straight into the beast's back and continues to push it in deeper, until he then shoves it in so deep that he begins to lift the creature.

It continues to roar in pain; more and more black blood erupts from its mouth.


(Thomas Scott): Try regenerating from this, you bastard!


Out of the blue, blue light flashes from the creature's mouth, and, for a brief moment, nothing else happens. Suddenly, a blue explosion erupts from the creature's neck, completely blowing off its head and leaving only a scattering of chunks around the main body, leaving the Freedom of Justice's plasma cannon arm sticking out from the neck stump.

The beast's arms, which had nearly fully regenerated, cease healing; the lifeless body slumps over. Freedom of Justice pulls his arm out of the body with a bit of difficulty, shaking off the excess blood and gore, and begins making his way back to the refitting station.


(Feng Lee): [COMMS] Thomas! We lost you there! What happened?

(Thomas Scott): Sorry, Feng. Just a bit of P.E.M.F. trouble. I'm fine now, but the Nightfury is gone.

(Feng Lee): [COMMS] What?!?

(Thomas Scott): The P.E.M.F. ate it. Alright, I'll grab a trip on the next carrier. Meet you guys at the convergence point.


As the Warmonger leaves, one of the P.E.M.F.'s hands twitches.
