Ishizawa smashed the creatures scrawny limb repeatedly, but the creature seemed to be covered in some sort of exoskeletal armour because his strikes bounced off harmlessly. "Help me out here guys" he shouted back to Mongo and Monks who came running down to help Jonsson and Ishizawa freeing O'brien from the iron grip. O'briend started panicking and only with the marines united efforts they managed to pull him clear - A short burst from Ishizawa through the fence struck the creature square in the chest and it crumpled up and fell, completely limp into the darkness below. Ishizwa kicked the fence down into the shaft to get a better firing solution on the aliens that climbed the walls up towards them. He was joined with Mongo together they started firing down the shaft. Mongo scored two consecutive kills, hitting both creatures in the head with short bursts - Their heads exploding like eggs. "Yeah, get some!" he shouted excitedly and flashed a grin towards Ishizawa.
Kurosaki, Quinn and Lippa worked quickly and placed the charges behind firing positions I and II. "Charges set, get the fuck out!" he shouted. The Marines withdrew slowly, all while firing supressive fire down the corridors. Heart fired his smartgun from the hip, sending sweeping arcs of death down the corridor. He killed one, two, three but they kept coming. Two dashed towards him, he fired at the first one sending a burst square into its chest killing it instantly. The targetting system changed targets and he felt the machinegun tug to the right - He squeezed the firing trigger again. Two rounds came out of the gun then it stopped. Automatically he quickly pulled the charging handle and fired again. The gun clicked again he then grabbed for a new drum of ammunition, releasing the old one with a deft twitch of his thumb. The creature charged closer. "RELOADING!" he shouted. He slammed the new drum in, pulled the charging handle and then the creature was upon him. The alien slammed the barrel to the right with a furious slash the barrel banging in the wall and crashed into Heart who hell heavily square on his back. The creature was immensly heavy and hard, it felt like having a truckload of large rocks poured unto his chest. Heart feebly tried to grab after his backup weapon, but his arms where pinned. He looked up and time almost stopped. He creature opened it's mouth, saliva dripping i large strings onto his face. The aliens tongue shot out and entered his skull with a resounding crack, his left eye popped out from the impact and blood gushed over his face. His body squirmed and rattled in cramps as he died.
Steiner raised his weapon and let go a long burst, engulfing the Alien killing it instantly. Steiner grabbed Hearts dead, now smoking, body with one hand, holding his incinerator with one hand. "Cover me!" he shouted to Dugan and Patch who had advanced further back in the corridor. "Hurry!" Patch screamed, glancing at the set charges on the walls. Suddenly several aliens charged down the corridor towards Steiner. He fired a long burst with the incinerator, but the aliens was out of reach and when he fired again his weapon sputtered a few times and died. He threw it to the side, ducking down as Dugan and Patch fired their weapons in unison. Dugan scored a hit instantly, severly wounding his Alien before striking it in the chest again killing it. Patch missed his first burst, hitting with his second and bringing down an alien, striking it in the chest and left arm. The 10mm rounds exploding inside it, ripping it's armored skeleton to pieces.
Steiner now freed from the weight of the incinerator grabbed Hearts body with both hands and started backpedalling quickly. Dugan reloaded and Patch fired at the two remaining Aliens more or less over Steiners head. Patch killed the left alien after hitting it several times all over, the creature almost refusing to die fell to the floor screaming and twisting violently. Behind the lone alien, whom lost three of it's hivemates in seconds, more came dashing. Steiner was just a few meters away now, but so was the Alien. Patch couldn't fire and just as Dugan slammed in his new magazine the Alien crashed into Steiner showing its spiked tail straight through his thigh. Steiner screamed piercingly and Dugan fired his pulse rifle in two short bursts. "Brrrrt-brrrrt" the rounds sawed the creature almost in half, it's guts spilling onto Steiners chest and face. But Steiner had already stopped screaming, his thigh bone shattered he was already unconscious from blood loss and pain. Luckily he didn't feel his face melt off him like a cheese thrown into a crematory oven.
Dugan threw a glance over his shoulder and he saw Morse, Stormhurst, Honeysett and Pitt scramble back from their firing position. He then saw the grey wall of aliens pouring towards him in the corridor. "Blow the charges Kurosaki!"
Moments later an almost impossibly loud explosion ripped through the air, the marines fell to the floor from the enormous shockwave. A rumbling of the roof collapsing and filling the tunnel with tons upon tons of debris was heard instantly, the round itself rocked. A split second later a prolonged panicked scream of anguish pierced the intercom which was cut short moments later. "Fuck! Mongo fell into the shaft!" Ishizawa screamed in shock, but were still holding together as he was heard continuing firing down the shaft with his gun.
"It worked, the tunnels have collapsed" Kurosaki concluded. "Lets go!" Dugan quickly lead the way into the air shaft, followed closely by Patch and Pitts squad.
