“That was the last transmission we received from the station.” said the captain, “the only clue we have on how to destroy fight them is this footage.” and he showed a video of two monsters biting a tire and exploding. “So we will be arming you with an air pump and drill. That station is an investment and it needs protecting. Dismissed.” and we marched to our capsules to be fired to port in the center of the earth.

“Welcome to our station. But I must warn you that these are fierce the will chase you and their fast and the Frygars spit fire so be careful by them and rocks down here tend to fall as you go under them we dont want cave ins. good luck!”

When it saw me a grabbed my pump and pressed the trigger. It inflated like a balloon and popped! From then on it was a piece of cake.
