A clang from the second floor gained a high amount of Mark's attention. Something heavy had just slammed into it, and he doubted that it was friendly. He set his gaze on the opening above him, waiting for his opponent to show itself. The flicker of flame danced on the ceiling, along with a great shadow; and then the shout of a beast which curdled his blood that made his neck hair try to escape from his skin. Much more so than that electric shock. The torchlight did little to illuminate the ceiling, but the shadow vanished as more clanging signaled a great creature on the move. The red glow shook about in what he presumed was terror, before disappearing altogether, but that wasn't what held his vision skyward. The sounds came from directly above him, and yet nothing seemed to be there. And then yet another roar reverberated within his soul; this time though, the tone was different. It was as if it had just fought something off, and wanted to make sure it had put the fear of God into it..

With a quick scan of the two entrance ways on the ground floor, he wheeled the business end of his precious electronic up to the ceiling, where it stayed for a fraction of a second. And there it was: absolutely nothing. Nothing but a very slight shadow, which moved with the change in lighting. It was the shape of a great lizard, and upon further scrutiny the subtle pattern of scales discerned themselves to his eyes.

It would appear he [i]did[/i] have an ally after all; it was 'Godzilla'.

The fraction of a second over, he returned his beacon to the floor facing position. It would have looked as though he had simply waved his arm in a circle while looking upwards to anyone watching him. To Mark, it meant a lot more.

He gave a curt nod to what he assumed was his teammate, before continuing to periodically survey all the entrances to the damned metal coffin he found himself defending. At the very least, he was happy he wasn't in it alone.
