Planet Tetro ~ Page 23

We heard them before we even saw them . Out of no where we were surrounded by a large army of insect warriors . There were still a few of the big ones left . The numbers were minuscule compared to how many normal soldiers had suddenly circled us . With their small size they still formed a thick intimidating circle around us three . We instinctively formed another triangle . Only this time we were back to back . Out of no where a bleeding , sweating , but smiling John says . “ Here we go guys !”

After making that shield with the vines , I decided to make a net as well . I was saving it as one of my trump cards. Now is a good time as any for me to use it . ( Imagine a lasso , but a hide bag at the end . ) I threw it at the warriors and it trapped a good amount of them . It was still only about 5 percent of them. As I tightened the bag by yanking the vine rope . The rest of them charged at us . I braced my vine shield and drill up for combat against the incoming swarms .

During the same moment Bulls Eye decided to use the metal tubes . He yelled mark while holding both and then threw one with all his might and took out about 2 percent of them . He put the other tube back in his pocket . Quicker than the eye could see he pulled out his two axes . He then proceeded to start spinning with his axes slicing up another 5 percent . He threw the other tube in the opposite direction that he threw the other one in . Thus taking out the same amount of soldiers as before . After that he touched the ground under him and yelled “ Mark! “

Concurrently after John saw Bulls Eye’s spinning axe technique he decided to try it out in his own way . He tied up what was left of his bag of rocks real tight and used it in conjunction with the club to do a spinning attack of his own . Although he did it with more vigor and twice as long . Giving him the ability to take out about 10 percent of them .

All of this occurred as they were charging at us . By the time they got to us they were still around 75 percent strong . Bulls Eye yelled to us , “ jump!” We listened and then he yelled match . The two metal indestructible tubes he threw at opposite ends came crashing together . Taking out 30 percent of them instantly . Most died as they were traveling towards each other and the rest were smushed in between my tubes . In the middle of battle I thought . Do I really want those back ?

We landed on the ground and continued to fight them close combat . They started to actually get stabs in . Just not as much as our first encounter , as we had gained privy to their tactics . Suddenly John hacked and spit some blood out . Then like a switch my vision became blurry . Bulls Eye yelled out . “ There’s something wrong with my sight “! . I could only assume we were all feeling the same side effects at that point . Coughing up blood and blurred vision . While fighting these sneaky opponents . The only conclusion for met to make, is that we’ve been poisoned .
