| TERROR IN THE TUNNELS 2 |
| A man was out in his boat fishing in the New York harbour. He was an older man, going bald. His boat stayed in one spot as he casted the fishing line into the murky water. Beside him, in the boat, was a bucket of worms and his jacket. While waiting for something to bite, he looked over the edge and into the water. "Can't see far." he was right. You couldn't see very deep because it was so polluted and muddy and dark. Then he pulled back on his rod really hard when it began to move. He began to reel it in but then it was flung from his hands and into the water. He grabbed the ores and started to paddle, being very scarred of what was in the water. He paddled faster when something hit his boat from underneath, sending him flying and the boat turned upside down. The man began crying softly as he swam as fast as he could to the shore which was about a five minutes away. He felt something brush his legs as he swam. Knowing it was all over, he stopped and swam on the spot. Looking all around him, breathing heavily, he thought that maybe his life wasn't over and the creature had gone away. Then he felt the pain of sharp daggered teeth bite into his legs and pulled him under, as he began to scream. After a minute, bubbles stopped going to the surface and blood replaced the bubbles. Cpt. Harry Vrass, older then before(his hair turning white showing it), sat at his desk in the NYPD station, reading a paper. Lt. Don Conner walked in. "Hey Harry. You and Allison go out last night?" "No." Harry said with a sigh. "Ever since she was promoted to the newspaper instead of News on T.V., we haven't gone out much." "Oh." Then Harry passed him the newspaper he had been reading as Don sat down in the chair on the other side of the desk then Harry. Don glanced at the front page and looked up. "Do you think it's happening again?" "Impossible." Harry answered. "We wiped out all the Alligators 5 years ago." "Some how they came back." Don said. "We couldn't find anymore when we all went back down because they were hiding. The underground tunnels are so big we didn't even search have of them. We would've gotten lost if we searched anymore." Harry took over. "So you think they were hiding for 5 years like before-when they were reproducing in the tunnels, and decided to come back out now because their food supply had run short again?" "Maybe." "Oh man." then two other police walked in. One was dressed like a regular person, with a baseball cap on and the other was in a uniform. "Captain?" the baseball cap guy said. "Yes Derek?" Harry asked. "Me and Nathan were wondering if we could take this case? We heard you and Lt. Conner talk about it." "Sure. But Lt. Conner will help you." Don, Derek, and Nathan all leave. Allison Vrass, was at her desk at the paper building. She knew the guy that had written the article on the missing person and how some people think that it's the return of the alligators that the police tried so hard to keep under wraps. John Fron, the person who wrote the article walked in. "Ready to go?" "Just a minute." John was the regular newspaper person that you always see in the movies. Allison reached into her drawer and pulled out a hand-held recorder, a note book, and a pen. "Now I am." they left her office, on their ways to talk to some mole people that resurfaced. Becky and Hidey, 2 school girls that were in grade 10 walked down the street. Becky was sort of short with blond hair and Hidey was a little tall with long brown hair. Becky carried her books in her hands as they walked. "Did Josh dump you?" Hidey asked. "No. I dumped him. He's way over protective." as they walked by a manhole cover down a back ally, 2 men wearing black and had knifes drawn approached. "Look at what I found." Man 1 said. "Two sweet little girls." they were a couple years older. They began to move closer. "Down there!" Becky shouted. Just as the punks got to the girls, they jumped into the sewer and ran through the tunnels. The punks followed. Don, Derek, and Nathan were in a back ally taking to some surfaced mole people. "They were about the same size as the last bunch years ago." mole 1 said. "But they're not the same?" Don asked. "No. These ones look more like those dinosaurs." mole 2 said. "Dinosaur?" Nathan said. "That's impossible." "Something's down there." Don said. "It's no alligator and I know it's no dinosaur so we gotta find out what it is." "I'll go find the cpt." Derek said. He ran back to his car and drove off. Allison and John was in Times Square talking to some moles. "That's what they looked like." said one of the moles. He had pointed to one of the pictures Allison had shown him. "That's impossible." John said. "That's what the experts thought the iguanodon looked like at first. But it ended up they put the dinosaur together wrong." "Some experts." Allison mumbled. "That's what it looked like I tell ya." the mole said, beginning to rise his voice. "We'll look into it." John said. They left the mole and went over to John's car and hopped in. "What animal today looks like that?" John asked circling the picture. "I don't know. None that any zoo has. It's defiantly not an alligator or crocodile." "What is it?" Harry was In his office, getting his secretary to tell anyone who asked for him to tell them that he was busy. "Where are you going, anyway?" the secretary asked, pushing her glasses up her nose. "I'm leaving to warn my wife not to get involved in this." he grabbed his jacket and opened the door. "I don't need the media rushing to conclusions that aren't true." then he left, slamming the door behind him. The secretary looked back down at the computer and continued typing. Outside the NYPD building, Harry walked down the steps onto the sidewalk. "Cpt?" Harry turned and Derek was there. "What? I'm kinda in a hurry." "Me and the guys found out some information on the creatures in the tunnels." "We don't know if it's a creature." Harry said back. "It could just be a psycho..." Derek cut him off. "Mole? A psycho mole? I heard about last time. I read it in the paper. You know the tabloids said "police sargent denies possibility of alligators under New York. Says psycho mole is at hand." "Derek?" Harry was getting impaintent at this young cop. "Sorry. The moles say it was a dinosaur." "Impossible." "I know. It can't be alligators because they wouldn't have mistaken them for dinosaurs." "They're probily lying. They know it was one of them." "But..." "No buts." Harry headed for his car and climbed in. He rolled down his window and as he drove off, shouted back to his rookie, "and don't tell anything to the media!" Derek watched Harry drive off. Becky and Hidey was stumbling in the tunnels because they could barely see and they were still running from the punks. "Hey Rebecca, I think we lost them." they slowed down and then came to a complete stop to catch their breaths. They listened but didn't hear anything. "I think your right." Hidey responded, brushing back her brown hair. "Common, we got to find a way outta here." they started to walk down the tunnels. They walked over some debris and lots of garbage. "I'm going to be late for dinner." Hidey complained. Then Becky stopped. Hidey saw her and stopped too. "What is it?" "I heard something." "I didn't." Hidey whispered. Then she did. It was a sound of soft feet on the ground and something dragging. The two girls turned around and faintly saw a shape of a creature. "Is that a lizard?" Hidey asked. "I don't know. But it looks like some kind of reptile." a pause as the creature still walked closer, clearly not seeing them. "It has something in it's mouth." Hidey informed Becky. Becky said, "Hang on." she kneeled down, took her bookbag off, and felt around inside it. "Ah ha." she pulled something out that Hidey couldn't see. Becky stood back up and put her bookbag back on. "What's that?" Hidey asked. "My mini-light I always carry around." Becky turned the light on and shone it up. Both girls screamed at what they saw. In front of them, was a giant reptile. About up to their waste. It walked on all fours with a tail that slid across the floor. It had a head almost like a dinosaur or a big lizard. They screamed even louder when they saw what was in it's mouth-one of the punks that was chasing them, dead, blood on the reptiles teeth. The creature dropped the body and hissed at them. The girls turned and ran faster then they ever did. "Is...it...coming?" Hidey asked in between breaths. "I think..." "Becky?" Hidey asked still running. She didn't hear any other running. She stopped and turned. Not to far back, the giant lizard had Becky in it's jaws. "Help me." Becky cried weakly. "No!" Hidey yelled as the creature chewed on her friend. All Hidey could do was just stare because she was in shock. When the sounds of the thing crunching on her friend became to nerve-racking, she turned tail and ran. Don and Nathan were waiting in the ally for Derek to return. "What do you think it is?" Nathan asked. "Not an alligator. But there is something down there." then Derek walked around the corner. "As usual, Harry bassicly says that he thinks it's a psycho-mole." Derek told the other two. "That's it." Don said. "We're going down." he took out his phone and phoned a number. After a minute. "Harry, it's me Don. Me, Nathan, and Derek are going down into the tunnels to look for whatever's down there. We'll be back at the station in a few hours." then he hung up. "Answering machine?" Derek asked. "Yeah." they went to the closest manhole cover, pulled it off and went into the tunnels. Allison and John had written down everything that Don, Nathan, and Derek had said because they were on the roof directly above them and they saw the three go into the tunnels. "I'm going to follow them." Allison said. "Go back to the office and find out any possible creatures the mole could have been talking about. You know my cell number so call me if you find out anything." "Sure." John agreed. "When will you be back?" "I don't know. Whenever they are." "See ya." John said. Allison winked and went down the ladder to the ground level. Then she crossed to the man hole and went down. John climbed down the ladder, walked across the ally to the street and went to his car and drove away. Harry pulled up into his driveway and jumped out of his car and ran to his door. He walked into his house and called out his wifes name but there was no answer. He called the office. "Can you get me Allison Vrass?" "Is this an emergency?" the female secretary asked. "Of course it is dammit!" Harry yelled. "Hang on a moment, please." the line was quiet for about two minutes. Then secretary's voice filled the line. "I'm sorry. She's not here right now, but her partner, John Fron is." "Let me talk to him." a few seconds past and then John's voice was on the phone. "Hello?" "Where the hell is Allison?" "Who is this?" "Her husband, and police chief, Harry Vrass." "Oh Harry..." he started to drift off. "Allison's gone to cover a lead." "Where is she?" Harry yelled again. "I don't think..." "Tell me now or I'll have your but arrested before you can blink." "She went down into the tunnels and sewer." "What? And you let her? With a killer mole?" "It's not a human sir...." "Don't tell me what it is." Harry had enough of this kid. He hung up on him and then noticed the blinking light on his answering machine. He played it and listened. "Hey harry, it's me Don. Me, Nathan, and Derek are going down into the tunnels to look for whatever's down there. We'll be back at the station in a few..." Harry didn't stay around long enough to hear the rest. He had already got his gun and jacket and ran out the door. "Will she be alright?" Hidey's mother asked the doctor. "Yes. She's in shock but should come out of it soon. Maybe then we can find out what happened to her." the name tag on the doctor read-DR. FRIDETS. "When do you think she'll come out of shock?" "She's already a little better. We suspect an hour or so." "She was covered with mud and sewage when a friend of mine found her." Mrs. Muench, Hidey's mom said. "She called me after bringing her here." "Yes." Dr. Fridets agreed. "She told us that. When you came she was allowed to leave." "I ran into her as she was leaving. She said that Hidey was hysterical. screaming something about a big lizard. Then that changed to dinosaur." "She seems to have stopped the yelling and is just laying there staring into space. We should find out soon what happened." Then a nurse walked in. "Doctor? She's come out of shock." Mrs. Muench and the doctor rushed out of the room." Don, Nathan, and Derek was walking through the knee-high water with a flashlight to light up the tunnels. They walked over some debris in the tunnel and water. "What do you think it is?" Derek asked. "Don't have any idea." Don said. "What's that?" Nathan pointed as they fell silent. A few feet away was something balled up against a wall. The three take out their guns and walk cautiously towards the object. When they got there, Don shone the light over it. A dead body laid ripped apart infront of them. "What did that?"Nathan asked, backing away. "The creature?" Derek asked. Then there was a roar and all three turned. Not far away was one of the creatures. "What is that?" Nathan shouted as they all rose their guns. They fired at the giant lizard that was infront of them and the bullets ripped in to it's skin but it barely affected it. It roared at them and they fired again. Allison heard the firing and peaked around the corner. She saw the three cops firing at the lizard. "Oh my..." she said out loud. The creature turned and hissed at her. A light beam fell on her and then the creature moved towards her. "Allison, Run!" Don shouted. The creature moved fast and Allison turned and ran down the tunnel, the animal following her. In the hospital, there were two nurses, Dr. Fridets, and Mrs. Muench was gathered around the bed that Hidey was laying on. "What did you see?" Dr. Fridets asked. "It was a giant lizard. It killed some street punk and then it killed Becky." "What street punk? Where?" Mrs. Muench asked, concerned. "There were two punks that were chasing me and Becky so we ran into the sewers and we came across a big lizard." "If we show you several pictures of lizards, would you be able to tell us if it is the one you saw?" Hidey nodded her head. "Good." a nurse held up a picture of a small iguanodon and Hidey shook her head. "It was really big. About waist-high." The nurse held up a picture from a book of several dinosaurs. "Nope. None of them." The nurse held up a picture of what scientists first thought the iguanodon dinosaur looked like and Hidey nodded her head. "Looks really close to that but not quite. No horn and not as big." The nurse fished out a book and flipped through it. She raised it for Hidey to see the picture. "Yes. That was it!" Hidey shouted. The nurse showed the picture to the doctor and mother. "A Komodo Dragon?" Mrs. Muench said. "But how?" "I don't know." Dr. Fridets answered. "A few years ago there were alligators down in the tunnels and sewers." "Yes. I heard about that." "A police man named Harry Vrass stopped them from living. He killed them all. I think I'm going to call him." Dr. Fridets walked out of the room and down the hall. Harry was scared of being in the tunnels again. He had gone down the same way he had five years ago, through Central Park. He knew he wasn't the only one down there. Or at least when he first went down he wasn't. He hoped that it was still true. He had to find his men, friend, and wife. He faintly heard gun shots and a faint roar. "What the hell was that?" he took out his gun and rushed towards the sounds. John was typing on his computer in his office. He had been surfing the web for a while, looking for government files he could brake into. He had found one marked KOMDRA_5. It took him a while but he managed to hack into it. He began reading. After a minute his eyes went wide and he went over to a bunch of encyclopaedias. Allison was still running from the creature. She could hear it close behind her, hissing. She ran around the corner to the old train station that was now destroyed from 5 years ago. Everything was burnt black and if it was destroyed, it was falling apart. There were loads of alligator bones laying around. She ran over them, the bones crunching beneath her feet. Then all of a sudden, her phone rang. Allison stopped in her tracks and refused to move an inch, even after the phone rang twice. She didn't hear the creature anymore. She bent down close to the bones and took out her phone. "Hello?" she whispered. "Hey Allison, it's me John. Why are you whispering?" "Cause I just ran from one of the creatures and I know it's still around someplace." "I found what we have been looking for." "Spill it." "A couple years ago, the government created some kind of serum that if injected into an animal, could turn a cold-blooded animal to a warm-blooded one." "It's a giant lizard." "I know. Lizards are the most will known cold-blooded animals. So a bunch of scientists travelled to Asia and injected a group of Komodo dragons with the stuff. To test to see if it worked, they were going to bring the injected ones here to the states. "So no one would no about it if anything went wrong, they released them in the tunnels and sewers below here-where you and a few cops are right now." "I take it that the tests were proven positive?" Allison asked. "Yes. They forgot to tag the komodo dragons so they were bassicly to lazy to come back for them, leaving them here." "So they have been reproducing down here." "Not exactly. They only injected male ones. Don't ask why, the files never said. So they released five male komodo dragons in the tunnels and sewers. I did some researching on komodo dragons and found that they can swim, they just prefer not to. They can move pretty fast on land," Allison cut him off. "Yeah I found out the hard way." "And the most important thing about them is that if you get bit but survive, your dead anyway. They can put poison in you like a snake. And don't touch it. It can release the poison through it's skin if it feels threatened." "Thanks. I'll try to find the cops and tell them and try to get out of here. Thanks." then she hung up. Don, Nathan, and Derek was following the trail that the creature had gone. They shone the light around and saw that it was balled up, sleeping infront of them. Nathan began to move towards it. "Nathan, back away." Don ordered. "I just want to feel it." Nathan put his hand on the back of it and slid it over the lizard. He pulled his hand away and walked away from it. "It's sleeping." Nathan stated. "Well it's blocking our way." Derek said. He raised his gun and fired at the lizard. It opened it's eyes and growled. Derek moved closer, thinking it was still sleeping. He was about to fire again, when it turned around with incredible speed and snatched up so fast, Derek couldn't react. The lizard sank it's teeth into Derek's chest and pulled them back out. Derek stumbled backwards and fell down. The creature rushed towards them. It reached u and bit Nathan's hand, the poison saliva, getting onto Nathan's skin. "Ahhhhh!" Don and Nathan turned around and ran just as the lizard leaped onto Derek and started eating him, Derek's screams echoing though the tunnels. Harry heard the screams closer them he had heard the gunfire not to long ago. Then all of a sudden, Don and Nathan come running around the corner and run into Harry. "What's going on?" Harry yelled at them. "A Giant lizard just ate Derek!" Nathan shouted. "What?" "It's true." Don said. "You are right about one thing. It's not an alligator." then the tunnel started to shake and the wall crumbled a little, then it stopped. Nathan's eyes were wide. "It was just a subway train on the other side of the wall." Harry said. "Where's Allison? She's down here someplace." "She was chased by one of the creatures a few minutes ago and we haven't seen her since." "Lets find her." Harry ordered. "Show me where you last saw her." Dr. Fridets was washing his hands in the sink in the washroom. He had phoned Harry Vrass but his secretary said he was out. Why would a komodo dragon be in the sewers? He thought. He thought he heard a faint sound. He turned the water off and put his ear next to the drain. He heard it again. No mistaking it. He faintly heard a roar. He jumped back and rushed out. Allison had walked down the tunnel away from the old station and came to the old alligator nest with all the eggs that was now also destroyed. "Ah, memories." she whispered. She heard a sound and turned but nothing was there. She turned back around and was staring into the face of an alligator! "Ahhhhhhh!" Allison screamed. Then she realized that it was just another skeleton with some of the flesh still on. She started to swap at the flies that were buzzing around. Allison started to move on when she heard her name being called. Am I hearing things? Then she heard her name again and regonized the voice. She turned around and went back the way she came. John had heard about the girl that was attacked on the news, so he rushed to the hospital to talk to the doctor. The nurse he talked to showed him Dr. Fridets's waiting room. After awhile, he was called in. "I'm hear to talk about the girl that was attacked by something in the sewers." John said. "I released her earlier. She seemed all better." "I don't want to talk with her. I want to talk to you." "Ok. Go ahead." John took a seat and took out paper and a pen. "Do you know that the creature was a komodo dragon?" "Yes. With the help of the girl, we found out." "Do you know that there are five of them? All males?" "No. I did not." Dr. Fridets sat down across from John. This was getting interesting. "I've got my partner down there and a bunch of cops. I need your help." "How?" John began to tell him about the secret files. Allison walked down past the other tunnel leading away from the underground station and ran into the cops. She hugged and kissed Harry. "I was so scared." Harry said. "So was I." Allison told him. "I found out a lot of information on this. She told them what John had told her. As she did, she noticed that Nathan was beginning to sweat but thought nothing of it. "Wo." was Dr. Fridets's only response to what John had just told him. "I know that since your already partly involved in this mess and that your a doctor, you might be able to come up with some kind of vaccine to turn the dragons back to being cold-blooded." "I'm sorry. I have no idea how the government scientists did it so I can't even reverse the process." "Think. Go through as many note books as possible, but hurry. We need to find something." "I might know something. But I'll need your help." John smiled and rushed over. In the tunnels, Allison just finished talking about the files and about the info that John found out about Komodo Dragons. "Nathan got bit by one." Don said. Everyone turned to look at Nathan and saw that he was sweating a lot now. "So am I dead?" he asked already knowing the dreadful answer. "Yes." Allison said. "I'm afraid so. I have no idea how fast acting the poison is, but judging by how badly sick you are, I'd say fairly fast." "Great. Two cops down." Harry said. They heard a hissing and turned. There were three komodo dragons not far away, staring at them. "Run!" Harry shouted. Harry, Allison, Don, and Nathan turned and ran, the cops turning around and shooting as they ran. Nathan tripped on some trash on the ground and fell down. The others started to slow down. "No." Nathan yelled at them. "Go on. I'm already dead!" they turned back around and ran. The two dragons got right next to him and looked down. "That's right. Eat me!" Nathan reached over to a broken beer bottle on the ground and as one of the komodo dragons loomed above him, he rose the glass and dug it into the lizards' neck. As it screeched in pain, Nathan pulled it out and drove it back in. One of the other two rushed at Nathan and closed it's jaws over Nathan's head. The third komodo dragon rushed after the retreating people. "Faster!" Don shouted. "I think your buddy back there killed one." Allison shouted. "Good." Harry said, still running. "That's one down, four to go." they stopped in their tracks because right infront of them were two komodo dragons, hissing. They looked back and the other one that had been chasing them rushed towards them and stopped. The other one that had been chewing on Nathan rushed up. Then all four dragons ran towards the survivors. "This way!" Harry yelled. The three of them went down the side tunnel and the komodo dragons smashed into each other. "This way." Harry pointed out. They ran down some more tunnels and got to an opening. It was a giant room with mostly sewer water up to their chests and a metal platform in the middle. "What have we created?" John asked Dr. Fridets. "A type of very fast acting poison. It acts within seconds on anything that's alive.. Just something one of my friends from a zoo showed me awhile ago." "How do we get the komodo dragons to take it?" Dr. Fridets poured some blue liquid into the tube. "We don't have to anymore. Now it reacts to the type of atoms and molecules that makes up skin. Now we just throw some on them, and when it hits, their dead in seconds." "Great. What are we going to put it in?" John asked. "Smaller test tubes with lids. Just don't drop any and you'll be safe." they started to pour the poison into the test tubes. Harry, Don, and Allison were walking in the sewer water that was up to their waists. They suddenly heard a splashing sound and turned around. One of the komodo dragons weren't knocked out and followed them. It had moved into the water and was swimming towards them. "Hurry. Onto the platform!" Don called out to the other two. They turned and began to swim to the platform that wasn't too far away. "It's faster then we are!" Allison shouted, noticing that it was already close to her. It opened it's mouth to bite her, but she went under the sewage water and held her breath, staying under. Harry saw this and the creature just swam over Allison and moved towards them. Don just got onto the platform and when Harry got there, pulled him out of the water on to the platform. "Great." Harry yelled. He took his cell phone out of his jacket and water poured from it with some electrical shocks going around certain areas of it. "My cell phone is destroyed." then he got an idea. Just as Allison rose out of the water, covered in gunk, he yelled, "Allison get to the edge and out of the water!" Allison didn't know why, but swam to the edge, got out onto the dry sidewalk thing. The komodo dragon swam right up to the platform and was about to climb out of the water onto it, when Harry threw his sparking phone into the water, right next to it, electrocuting it. It didn't move for a minute. Then it turned to look at Harry and Don and started to climb out of the water. "Man!" Harry yelled. "Wait." Don said. "It must be electrically charged right now. If he fire a bullet at it, it might actually explode!" "Ok. Here we go." Harry pulled out his gun and fired at the incoming dragon. All he heard was a click. "Oh no." then Don whipped out his gun and shot the komodo dragon, blowing it up, pieces going everywhere. John and Dr. Fridets climbed down into the tunnels and began following the muddy footsteps and imprints in the mud. "Are you sure this stuff is going to work?" John asked. He had an ammo belt strapped around him full of the test tubes and Dr. Fridets had a gun with the test tubes in it instead of bullets. He also had an ammo belt with test tubes full of the deadly poison. "Positive." "Good." they heard something sliding and turned. There was a komodo dragon rushing at them. "It'll be too close by the time he hit it." John warned. They turned around and ran, the lizard after them. Dr. Fridets turned his upper body around and fired a test tube at the komodo dragon but missed and hit behind it. The tube shattered, but none of it's contents touched the lizard. "Run faster." Dr. Fridets said. They did just that. At the sewer room, Allison had gotten on the platform with Don and Harry just as 2 of the remaining dragons entered the water and moved towards them. "What now?" Allison asked. "Pray." Don answered. "And hope for the best." "It'll be ok." Harry said. The two komodo dragons swam towards them just as John and Dr. Fridets rushed into the water and began swimming. "John!" Allison shouted. "This is Dr. Fridets. He made a poison to kill these lizards." "Get out of the water!" Harry shouted at them. The third komodo dragon entered the water from behind John and the doctor. The other two turned around and went under the water before John could see them, but not before Dr. Fridets could. "John, out of the water, hurry." Fridets warned. He swam as fast as he could to the side-walk thing and John started to but was pulled under. "John! No!" Allison shouted. John resurfaced just long enough to throw his ammo belt to the platform and then some jaws came back up and pulled him under. Blood rose to the top. Harry picked up the belt and took a test tube out. "Throw it at the komodo dragons!" Fridets shouted to him. On of the dragons surface and Dr. Fridets aimed his gun and fired at it. The tube smashed on the reptile's head, the poison seeping into it's skin. After a few seconds, it screeched and went limp, slowly sinking to the bottom. "another two left!" Don stated. One came up and Allison grabbed a test tube and threw it at the komodo dragon, hitting it's back. The same result as last time. "One left!" Don said. The last one rose and Harry threw a tube but it quickly went under and the tube exploded next to Dr. Fridets. "Ahh!" some of the poison went into his leg, but not enough to kill him. His leg became wobbly and he slid down to one knee. The dragon surfaced again and Dr. Fridets took off his ammo belt and threw the entire belt at it. It moved out of the way and the belt smashed against the side of the platform. "Here!" he threw the gun to the platform and Don got it. He took a couple tubes from the belt Harry was holding and reloaded the gun. "Die!" Don fired and just missed the dragon. Then all of a sudden the dragon was pulled under. "What the?" Allison leaned over the edge to see. Then the body of the dragon was thrown out of the water and landed back in a few metres away, ripped apart. A creature leaped out onto the edge. It had scaly skin like that of a reptile's. It had a head like a velociraptor (type of dinosaur) with two long horns/spikes under it's jaws. It's arms were long with 5 sharp claws on the end. The thing was on two legs but bent down. It hissed and dug it's claws into Allison's leg. "Ahhhhhhh!" Allison fell down into the water. Harry threw the ammo belt and Don fired the gun and the test tubes hid the creature at the same time. The thing moved towards Harry and Don and then dropped to the floor, dead. "What was that?" Don asked surprised. "That wasn't normal." then Allison swam to the surface and was helped out of the water. Allison and Dr. Fridets were both sent to the hospital. Allison only needed a cast and stiches on her leg, but Dr. Fridets was perminitly in a wheelchair now. During the next bunch of weeks, Don and Harry did some researching and hacking and found more government secret files. They had found out that the creature that they had encountered was genneticly engineered by the government scientists and they released it to kill the komodo dragons. It was only supposed to have a life span of 2 years but some how lived longer. Harry and Allison had two kids, Jerry-a boy, and Chesley-a girl. THE END TERROR IN THE TUNNELS 2 By: Jeff Long |
