AVP Ultimate Prey 48

Demon Mother tilted her massive head away and raised her black hands in an instant, automatic reaction-the disk sliced through a black finger, sending it spinning away in a gout of burning blood. The Mother's scream... half pain, half rage.
The Warrior God rushed toward her, each powerful step leaving a splatter of glowing green on the rough stone floor. No one loses that much blood and survives... The Demon Mother's long tail slashed forward, black tailspike driving at the Warrior God's chest. A flash of the double blades knocked the tail aside. The Warrior God drew her arm back, ready to drive those blades into the beast, but the Demon Mother's undamaged hand swung in like a springing trap, sent the Warrior God crashing against the cavern wall with a thickening thud and another splatter of glowing green. The Warrior God fell to the cavern floor. The Demon Mother turned her head to look at Creen, who pulled his spear free from yet another ruined egg.

"Liyah," "he screamed, "kill it!"

Ahiliyah sighted down the shaft. With Creen's poison on the arrowhead blade, she only needed one well-placed shot to end the threat forever. The Demon Mother turned toward Ahiliyah and Creen.
Ahiliyah hesitated.

"Liyah, fucking shoot that thing!"

A huge target, not even fifty paces away. Even in the dim light, it was the kind of shot Ahiliyah could make in her sleep. Still, she hesitated. The Demon Mother took a step toward Creen. Then another.

The sparking disk whipped in, sank deep in the Demon Mother's neck. The black beast screamed again, louder than before, her crested head thrashing in agony. The Warrior God sprinted and leapt, bladed arm reared back, graceful death arcing through the air. The Demon Mother saw her coming at the last second, tried to react but it was too late--the Warrior God landed on her big crest, her weight driving the Mother down, knocking her over and smashing her head against the rock floor. The Warrior God jammed the blades through the top of the Demon Mother's black head-it sounded like an axe head thudding into a tree trunk. The Demon Mother's mouth opened, toothtongue
snapping out at nothing once, twice, a third time. Her huge legs kicked. Her clawed hands reached for the Warrior God but the monster's strength was already fading away to nothing. The Warrior God adjusted her footing and twisted her big
shoulders, dragging the deep-sunk parallel blades through the length of the Mother's skull. Gleaming teeth opened one last time. The toothtongue reached out, slowly, opened, then clacked closed with the
faintest click. The monster moved no more.. The Warrior God yanked the blades free, tipped her horrible head back, and screamed a victory cry.-pg.401-402 chpt.14
