A sweat bead descended Cloud’s head when he watched Naija get carried away with killing the Gnorc mutants. At least she had drawn their attention and with everyone running to make themselves useful, he felt he should do the same. Cloud raced down the tunnel after Fox, hoping that the others were able to survive the egg stealer. The creature seemed small and harmless. It was fast, but what more could it do but pick a pocket? As Cloud came across Robin and Shantae, his mouth fell open in horror at the sight of the human crawling out of what looked like a sack but with teeth…

The man begged to be helped, but he was infected. They didn’t have a cure for it and if he was going to mutate like the Gnorcs or even Gnasty, then Cloud would rather not let the virus get that far. Closing his mouth, the ex-SOLDIER frowned. His hands trembled as he reached behind his head to grasp his Buster Blade. Robin was trying his best to slow the spread, but they all knew the mutation was inevitable. The least he could do was put the man out of his misery. He drew his sword and angled the very end of its slanted edge downward.

Cloud had to tune out the man’s begging. He had to tune everyone and everything out as his eyes narrowed with concentration. He thrust his blade into the back of the man’s neck, decapitating him as his head tipped over and from his neck began gushing a black substance. A black bubble formed, swelling outward before it popped dropping upon the floor with a splat, a black slug that started to swiftly squirm away. Cloud thrust his hand out to it, in an action that would have been a Bolt spell, but he was out of mana.

[color=00a99d][b]“Shit!”[/b][/color] he cursed. [color=00a99d][b]“Kill it before it infects someone!”[/b][/color]
