JT sprinted, behind him the roar of a very angry four-armed giant echoed through the woods. The giant was angry; he had been shot several times, by the man he was chasing. Glancing back, the massive creature ate up the distance between them easily with his immense stride. Gritting his teeth, JT hopped over an outcropping of tumbled boulders, hitting the loam on the other side with his shoulder, rolling smoothly into a firing position with the carbine pointed at the giant.
Depressing the trigger, feeling the short, sharp recoil as three more round raced down range, striking the giant in one knee. The blossoming of three angry red dots slowed the massive creature a moment as he looked at his knee.
“Shit…that is not good…”
The giant, roared again, pulling an orb from a satchel, an orb as large as JT’s head and it was glowing. Not waiting to see what it did, already coated with the ectoplasm and hurriedly gooping it on his rifle, a soft translucent glow emanated from the rifle, “Oh thank God!” he muttered as he whipped the rifle up, drawing a bead on the chest of the humongous being.
Again the rifle barked, three short retorts filled the air as once again a tight grouping of shots raced towards the giant, only this time when they hit, the giant paused in his action. A confused look crossed his face as he felt his incredibly wide chest. There was no angry welts this time, no the bullets had pierced his iron like hide and hit the vital organs protected by the thick slabs of muscle and bone.
A grimace crossed the giants lips, as he spat, his right arm lifting to throw the now blazing orange ball. Not waiting, JT fired again, three more rounds hitting the chest again, as they did the giant threw the ball with all his might, however as stated the bullets had struck the giant again. These bullets causing him pain, a pain that the giant hadn’t felt before, a pain that caused frothy red to spill from his misshapen lips. His lungs had been shredded by the bullets.
The ball stuck with tremendous impact twenty feet shy of the rocks, erupting in a flash of heat and concussive energy that knocked JT back about fifteen feet from his protective barrier. Sitting up, the man peered through the smoke, and he could not see the giant. Scrambling to his feet he held his rifle ready as he moved forward slowly, when he heard a bubbling laugh.
“You won this round human. But I will be back, we will fight again and I will kill you next time!”
Stepping up to the massive body, the giant glared into JT’s eyes.
“Hey man no hard feelings. You came after me, I told you I really didn’t want to fight. I am still trying to understand this whole damn thing.”
Squatting next to the giant, he placed a slimy hand on the man’s shoulder, “Look bub, anytime you want to do this again is fine with me. By then I may have figured a way out of this crazy dream.”
The giant chuckled, “Until next time then.” and died.
Rising to his feet, JT searched the giant, finding the satchel only with heavy orange balls inside. “What the hell am I supposed to do with these things?’
Depressing the trigger, feeling the short, sharp recoil as three more round raced down range, striking the giant in one knee. The blossoming of three angry red dots slowed the massive creature a moment as he looked at his knee.
