[@CloseEnough] [@Sohtem]

Brick saw Eden go down and panic began to set in, he raised up the minigun and frantically pulled at the trigger, only to be greeted with a rough grinding sound.
"SHIT!" he yelled "It's jammed!" He saw the creature close in on her location, then saw it roar and back off a little. Eden still had some fight in her it seemed. Brick rushed to clear the jam, then he fed another belt through the receiver.

"Joe" he said, moving to hand over the minigun "Give me the shotgun. Take this and cover me. Aim carefully, because if you shoot me in the back, I'll fucking kill you"
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" the older man asked
"Something stupid I'm sure" he replied as he leaped down to the ground and began running across towards the beast. The minigun roared back to life behind him and he saw the beast turn, crimson blood flicking from its wounds. Brick had little time to aim, so he just started shooting, blasting the creature twice in the knee. He saw it take a swipe at him, so he jumped back, narrowly avoiding being torn in two. Or so he thought. Searing pain tore through him as he dropped to the ground, one of its claws had ripped down his right shoulder as he dodged, leaving a nasty gash through which blood began to flow. Brick saw the creature moving in for the kill, so he let instinct take over. He jabbed the butt of the shotgun into his wound and began firing in the general direction of the monster's face.
