jocelyn: she works in the p.r. wing of the cornerian acadamy, she got dragged into the night of horror by a phone call from a mysterious scientist
 
 

           &nbs p;  Corneria academy is the largest and most famous military training grounds in all of the cornerian alliance. Over a hundred of the best young pilots are trained here every year, but there is something else behind the training, a much deeper more complex organization. There are many hidden branches of the academy, some reputable, some not One such branch is the public relations branch, here people have been hired to deal with all the publicity and other events, such as taking complaints and other miscellaneous stuff. In this branch a young woman named jocelyn has worked for over the past three years, she is a soft yellow furred cat in her mid twenties. Jocelyn doesn't have that big of a job in running the pr wing, she just goes into work everyday like everyone else, nothing special about her or her job at all. It had been raining all day, and jocelyn was just about to finish the days work, she hated the rain, it alwqays made her depressed, and since it was a slow day, all she had to do was just sit at her desk and watch the rain. It was six o clock finaly, and she was just putting in her time card for the day when the phone beside her desk began ringing. ìhelloî said jocelyn wearily. ìbad.... this is very badî said a panicked voice on the end of the line, jocelyn was confused. ìhelloî she repeated in utter bewilderment. ìthis is bad, im telling you this is very badî repeated the man on the phone, then she heard a harsh scraping sound and the line went dead, Jocelyn waited two minutes before she put the receiver back, it had to be a joke, thatís all it was, just a sick practical joke. Satisfied with her answer she got up and left her cubicle and began to walk to the elevator down to the loby. She didnít much care for working on the second florr, but all the other levels were closed off to her level of security clearence, she often wondered what was kept in the secure areas, probably nothing she always told heself, just meaningless papers that noone cares to read. It was already dark outside and all of the other employees had already gone home for the night, even the security guard who normaly waits by the front desk till closing was gone, so the cavernous lobby was empty except for her. She was about to leave the front door into the parking lot when the security desk phone began to ring, curious, jocelyn picked up the phone, ìhello, is anyone thereî she asked.  ìI need helpî came the same frightened voice, ìthe basement.... god itís awful, it happened, it was a disaster, the basementî with that the line went dead. Jocelyn slammed the phone down hard, this was beyond a stupid joke, she began to think that the phones should be fitted with tracers so this kind of thing couldnít happen. She walked away to the doors once more but was stopped again by the phone, she walked over and picked it up, ìlisten you sick-o I dont know what type of stunt your pulling but itís not funnyî screamed jocelyn into the phone. There was an awkward silence on the line then the voice began, calm and haunting, ìdonít go into the parking lot, dont leave the buildingî. Jocelyn nervously looked out into the dimly lit parking lot, as far as she could see it was completely empty, not a sign of life anywhere, ìlistemî said jocelyn, ìiím hanging up and im leaving nowî. ìno, dont leave the buildingî came the voice again this time actualy panicked. ìwhy not, who are youî asked jocelyn, her anger reaching her fear. ìthereís no time for that now, you have to trust meî said the voice, ìyou are in grave danger, you must leave the lobby, go into the security office and lock the doorî. She didnít know what she was doing, but she hung up and walked into the security room anyway and locked the door, she felt very claustraphobic in the small room, she nearly screamed when the phone rang, it was a portable. ìhelloî she said shakily, ìiímî in the security rroom, now whatî, ìI know said that voice, ìsit down at the desk, this could take a secondî. She did as she was told. ìlet me explainî began the voice, ìyou are not alone in the building, we are not alone, there is something else in thereî. ìwhatî asked jocelyn nervously. ìI donít knowî said the man, ìcome down to the basement so I can explain this to you face to face, but right now, you need to trust me, can you do thatî. ìi... iíll tryî said jocelyn scared. Suddenly, she heard a muffled scratching sound on the door, she glanced over fearfuly trying to make out what it was. The scratching was comming from risht above the ventalation grid at the bottom of the door, the creature could be no larger than a dog whatever it was. ìwhat is outside the doorî demanded jocelyn. ìi... I donít knowî repeated the man, ìyou have to trust me, that thing is dangerous, do you see the ventalation grid in the celeing right aboce the bookshelfî. Jocelyn looked over the the large bookshelf on the opposite wall, sure enough there was a ventalation duct just big enough for her to fit into, she put the cell phone in her pocket and pushed a chair over and yanked the grid off. The air ducts were cold and cramped, she felt like the bottom would collapse on her at any moment, none of this seemed real to her, it was just to strange to be real. She wasnít exactly the type of woman to get scared easily, so the few times she felt threatened she trusted her instincts. Right now they were telling her to get as far away from the building as possible, she could almost feel something rushing up the air duct behind her. She began to hear a strange clanking sound, kind of like grinding metal parts comming from behind her, she crawled as fast as she could to the nearest hole in the duct system and dropped down into one of the administrative offices and shut the grate. She stood up and looked around her new surroundings, the office was dimly lit much like her own, there was a wall of windows looking  out on the hallway outside wich was also deserted. She decided her first move should be getting away from the hole in the celeing, she made her way to the back of the office and hid behind one of the desks in the corner. Suddenly her phone rang, she picked it up and answered, ìlisten, who are you, what was that thing back thereî she asked her voice shaking in rage. ìnot nowî answered the man, ìmy name is greg, does that help you at allî. Jocelyn was struggling to recognise the name, it didnít mean a thing to her, ìno, sorryî she  said, ìdo you work hereî. ìyesî said greg, ìbut im not part of the acadamyî. ìwhat do you do thenî asked jocelyn even more confused. ìiíll try to explainî said greg, ìyou work for the pr wing right, there are a lot of wings to the acadamy that donít deal directly with the acadamy, mine is one of themî. ìgo onî said jocelyng glancing nervoucly around the room, but it was still empty. ìI hate to have to be the one to tell you thisî said greg softly, ìbut your employers arent as moralic as you would like to believe, my operation is not exactly legalî. J?ocelyn didnít know what to say at all, ìwhy should I trust you thenî she asked her voice shaking. ìdamnitî swore greg, ìjust listen to me, if you donít youíll never leave this building aliveî. Jocelyn had had it, no one played wit her like this, ìall right, you little punkî she said loudly, ìthis isnít funny anymore, iím calling the police and there going to get me out of hereî. ìno donítî said greg paniking, ìthere in on it toî. ìyour insaneî screamed jocelyn as she turned the cell phone off, it seemed that this greg wasnít going to be much help, so she would have to get out on her own. She got up and began to walk accross the room, she got a little faster when she passed the hole in the celing, even though she didnít believe anything was up there she didnít want to risk getting hurt at all. She was just about to open the door when she head a dull thud behind her, she turned to see a small lump fall onto the ground, it was no bigger than a large rat, but she couldnít make out anything in the darkness, it seemed to move backwards slightly, she just watched it dumbfounded, then it flung itself at her. The creature burst into flames in middair and jocelyn had just enough time to duck out of the way, she watched the creature as it burst thru the window like it was a paice of paper. Jocelyn stumbled backwards into the office away from the flaming creature. The creature flamed once again thru the window melting a second hole in it, it sped accross the carpet at a blinding speed.  Jocelyn turned and ran as fast as she could, but she was trapped in the corner. The thing got c,oser and closer, just then she spotted a large fire extinguisher behind her, she grabbed it and began to spray at the creature in midlunge. The creature let out a unholy screamm of paina nd it seemed to shrivel up into a tiny ball. She bent down and touched t gently, it was way to hot to pick up, so she grabbed a nearby ruler and lifted it ont one of the deskes and turned the light on. She almost screamed when she saw the thing, it looked like a cross between a baby frog and god knows what, and it was dripping with a sickly colored slime. Just then the phone rang, she picked it up, ìdamn it all to hell greg, tell me what is this abominationî screamed jocelyn in pure rage. ìim not gregî answered the voice almost playfuly. ìwho are youî asked jocelyn even more confused. ìim a freind answered the voice, it sounded male, but it was strangely high pitched, ìall I want to do is help you, donít listen to greg, he is in ot itî. ìin on whatî asked jocelyn her head spinning in confusion. ìthe projectî answered the man, ìmy name is foxin, dont be afraid of me, like I said before, im trying to help youî. ìall right foxinî said jocelyn shakily, ìwhat is this creature I just killedî. There was a stunned silence on the other end of the line, ìwhat, you killed itî asked foxing stunned, ìthatís impossibleî. ìno, im sorryî said jocelyn, ìbut it is possible, I used afire extinguishe on itî. ìyou foolî said foxin panikec, ìwhere is it, are you watching it nowî. ìyeahî said jocelyn, ìitís lying there deadî. Just then, the creature began to convulse on the table, it was melting, in one quick blinding motion, the creature melted into a ball and formed a creature about the size of a large dog, except it had what looked like insect legs. The thing let out a gutteral cry and lept off the table and into the air ducts and away from the terrified jocelyn. ìnow do you believe meî asked foxin. ìI guess I have no choiceî said jocelyn, she was still very shaken from watching the creature escape like that, ìwhere are you anywayî. ìim in the executive office on the sixtieth floorî answered foxin ìthe executive officesî asked jocelyn surprised, ìdonít you need heavy clearence to access those levelsî. ìyes you doî answered foxin, ìI am pretty high up in the acadamyî.   ìgoodî said jocelyn, ìthen you should know what is going on, what is that creatureî. ìnot nowî said foxin coldly, ìiíll explain everything when you get to the top floorî. ìalrightî said jocelyn wearily, ìwhatís the quickest wayî. ìyour near the lobby rightî asked foxin. ìyeahî said jecelyn. ìalrigh, itís simpleî said foxin proudly, ìjust take the service elevator up to the thirtieth floor and iíll guide you from thereî. With that the phone went dead. Jocelyn walked out into the lobby and she went into the small service elevator and she was about to press the button for the thirtieth floor, but she stopped. What about greg in the basement, she didnít have a clue who to trust, they were both pretty strange characters. She reached up and pressed the thirtieth floor button, she hated basements, but she was also never very fond of heights, she guessed she would be visiting foxin after all. The elevator grinded to life and began the long ascent, she began to feel very nervous, she was very vulnerable in the elevator, that creature could get in and if it did, that would be the end of her. Suddenly the cell phone went off again, ìhello, who is it this timeî asked jocelyn angrily. ìitís me gregî answered greg. ìohî said jocelyn, ìlisten, iím sorry but I have something I have to deal with before I can meet you, do you know who fxin isî.  There was a dead silence on the other end, ìno, you must not listen to him, he is in on itî said greg terrified. ìWhat the hell is going onî asked jocelyn, ìhe said the same thing, now one of you give me a straight answer or im just going to call the police and let them sort this thing outî. ìno, you canít call the policeî begged greg. ìall right, then give me some answersî demanded jocelyn, ìwhat is this thing after meî. ìalrightî said greg with a defeated sigh, ìhave you heard of something called the threashold projectî. ìyeahî  said jocelyn, she had, it was just some stupid rumor though, it was specualted to be anything from biological weapons to money laundering, but they were all lies werent they. ìitís not just a rumorî said greg, ìa few years ago, some of our scientists picked up a strange disturbance in the basement, we later found it to be a hole in the very fabric of space and time, we had no idea where it lead, but after a lot of testing, something came thruî. ìwhatî asked jocelyn already beginning to peice the puzzle together. ìsomething sent a baby thruî said greg, ìwe kept it and raised it in the lab watching it for two years, it lay in a coma, unresponsive to anythign, until a few days agoî. ìwhat happenedî asked jocelyn. ìit moved in itís sleepî said greg, ìit was determined that the subject needed to be eliminated, so they sent a tem of there clean men into kill it, but the thing killed the clean men and escapedî. ìyour telling me that whatís trying to kill me is from another demensionî asked jocelyn unbeleiving. Suddenly the phone went dead, jocelyn banged it a few times but it was useless, she heard a faint clicking sound comming from the elevator shaft followed by a loud thud on top of the elevator. She froze still almost like a statue, she didnít even breath, then the scraping began, the beast must be trying to get into the elevator. Jocelyn fell down and hid in a corner prepared for the worst, then as soon as it had started, the scratching stopped. She slowly got up but kept a sharp ear out for anything unusual, now she heard a soft clicking, followed by a hollow snap. Her heart stopped the instant she heard the noise, ans she felt as if her stomach had done a backflip, the elevator had been cut it was going to fall. Not knowing what else to do, she pried the top grate of and climbed onto the top of the falling elevator, she could barely stand uner the sudden gravity change. She blindly jumpd off the falling car over the wall and grabbed onto a nearby service ladder. The elevator continued to fall and it crashed deafingly at the bottom, jocelyn was shaken, but safe. She followed the ladder all the way down to the ruined elevator and out into the basement, it would look like meeting foxin would have to wait. The base ment reminded her of a hospital she had once interned at before she joined the pr wing of the corerian acadamy, her original intention had been to be a nurse, she had wanted to do something to help people, but she just couldnít take the endless sea of viloence she encountered at the hospital so she just quit. She remembered the exact last day as a nurseís assistant, she had seen this seven year old boy who had been shot nineteen times by another seven year old boy over some toy, that had been to much for her, she had resigned right after the three hour surgery failed to save the child. She had failed as a nurse as she had failed at everything in her life, even with relationships she was awful, she couldnít respect herself enough to make anything work. Well none of that mattered, she was lost in the basement with some thing from another dimension after her, if this greg was telling the truth that is. She pulled out her cell phone and did a star 69, and in a moment she had greg on the line. ìalrightî said jocelyn, ìiím in the basement now whatî. ìokî said greg, do you see a yellow line on the floor, that leads to the lab areas, follow that till you get to a door marked hazardous materials and iíll direct you from thereî. Jocelyn put the phone away and began to follow the yellow line, sure enough it lead to a door with the hazardous chemicals sign on it. Suddenly the phone went off again. ìhelloî said jocelyn. ìhello, ìitís me foxin, where are youî. ìoh, itís youî said jocelyn, ìim in the basement after that thing cut the elevator down on meî. ìsorry about thatî said foxin, ìyour not talking to greg are you, he is lying completelyî. ìwhy should I believe youî asked jocelyn. ìlet me explainî said foxin ìit looks like your not going to be getting up here anytime soon so it canít hurt anythingî. ìalrightî began foxin, ìhave you ever heard of something called the threshold projectî. ìyesî said jocelyn, ìgreg told me all about itî. ìhe probably lied to youî said foxin, ìiíll tell you the truth about the threshold project, a few years ago, there was an outbreak of a strange disease in the southern regeion of aquas, rememberî. ìyesî said jocelyn, the outbreak had been the biggest thing on the news for months it even cut out the venom/cornerian war. ìanyway, it was our job to find a profitable cure for the diseaseî began foxin again, ìwe were using an advanced for of cell regeneration to fix the dying cells, but something went wrong, one of our patients began to overgrow their cells, and they began to breed these awful creatures, like the one thatís been after youî. ìyou mean thereís more of themî asked jocelyn. ìmany more of them, they are kept in branch offices all around corneria, they have all been dormant until now, we believe they are hibernating, the original patient is still in deep sleep, we believe the creatures are itís way of finding foodî. ìand what happens if this creature finds enough foodî asked jocelyn. ìwell thenî said foxin, ìthe patient will probably mutate into god knows what and that will be disasterous. ìwhat can be doneî asked jocelyn. ìfirst do me a favorî said foxin, ìgo into the door marked hazardous materials and look for something for meî. ìsureî said jocelyn as she opened the door, inside looked like a warehouse, and there were operating tables everywhere, on all of them were dead animals. ìwhat are all these animals doing hereî asked jocelyn. ìthey are the subjects from the aquas outbreakî said foxin, ìthis is where the creatures bring there kills, I have watched it sevral times from the cameras up hereî. Jocelyn felt a little better knowing that foxin could see her and that she was nsot alone, but did that mean that greg could also see her, who should she trust, right now there seemed to be more evidence for foxinís story but that could change any moment. ìlisten, foxin, I need to know smethingî said jocelyn, ìI need to know who greg is and why he would lie to meî. ìgreg is another scientistî sais foxin, ìwhen the cornerian govít heard about the falure of the threshold project, he was bought off into telling you some lie so that he could get you killed, his orders are to let noone escape from the acadamy period, and that means you and meî. There was a long awkward silence, then jocelyn hung up, she began to inspect some of the bodies, with her limited medicle knowledge, she was able to determine that the bodies were in fact infected with a sort of virus, so greg was after all lying. Suddenly the phone rang, jocelyn picked it up. ìlisten, you have to get out of the room, one of those creatures is returning with a victimî said foxin panicked. Jocelyn looked around the room frightened, and ran from the doorway and hid in one of the empty body bags. The door opened slowly and the dog-sized creature came thru, it looked like your average dog, but it had sores all over itís body and what looked like insect wings. The creature was dragging the dead body of a security guard behind it, it drug it over to a small hole and began to spin a thread around it. Jocelyn understood what was happening, it was making the body into food for onem of the dead bodies. There was nothing she could do but watch the spectavle of horror in front of her, suddenly the phone rang and her heart stopped. The creature looked in her direction and began to walk over to her. It began to probe the body bags, she held her breath and didnít move and inch. Finaly the creature turned and left the room. Jocelyn turned the phone on, ìhelloî she asked frightened. ìitís me gregî said greg softly, listen, I need you to get to me fast, are you in the hazardous  chemicals roomî. ìyesî answered jocelyn, ìwhere do I go from hereî. ìjust continue to follow the yellow lineî answered greg. Jocelyn turned off the phone and left the hazaradous chemicals room, she felt much better leaving the bodies behind, she continues following the yellow line until something struck her as odd, the lighting semmed different as she followed the corridors. The lights were almost ed now, and there was black blood everwhere, jocelyn realised this must have been where the creature had caught up to one of itís victims. Suddenly she heard a loud clanking from behind her, she turned to see the grate fom the air duct fall to the floor loudly, and a tall fox climbed out. ìyou must be gregî said jocelyn releived that it wasnít the monster. ìyes, thats meî said greg strangely calm, ìgood thing your here, there is something I wan to show youî. Greg walked of down the corridor without even a glance to see if jocelyn was following him, he didnít seem to really care either. She followed anyway, after a few turns in the complex basement, jocelyn began to wonder if greg had a clue where he was going, that dount dropped the moment she saw where they were going.  At the end of the hallway was a large pair of double doors, just like the entrance to an operating room, greg pushed thru them without even waiting for jocelyn to go thru, it was obvious to her that he didnít have a clue how to treat someone kindly. On the other side of the doors was a small room about the size of a police interrigation chamber, there was a one way mirror looking out on a highly mechanical looking room, there was a small glass dome in one corner of the room that appeared to be some sort of containment are, and there was also a large scary looking console on the other side of the room. ìwhat is thisî asked jocelyn confused. ìitís the work area for the threshold projectî answered greg, that was the containment pod where that creature used to liveî. ìwhat are you talking aboutî asked jocelyn, ìfoxin told me that thing out there was the product of the plauge on aquasî. Greg looked at her stunned, ìlisten, foxin is only trying to cover his own tailî said greg, ìthere was a plauge on aquas, and yes, foxin was in charge of finding a cure for it, but the creature came out of my research, not foxinísî. ìwhy would foxin want credit for creating a monsterî asked jocelyn even more confused. ìsimpleî said greg, ìitís about why I didnít want you to call the police, the police are in on it to, so is general pepperî. ìgenral pepperî asked jocelyn stunned, ìwhat does he want with that mutantî. ìsimpleî said greg, ìwere nothing but a test, the untimate soldier, if he could drop a couple hundred of those things on venom, the war would be over, not a single cornerian casualty, he  is just using us to see how effective the creatures areî. ìI think I understandî said jocelyn, ìand the person who created the creature would get a very high reward rightî.  ìcorrectî said greg. ìthen we have to kill itî said jocelyn decisivly. ìkill itî asked greg stunned. ìyesî replyed jocelyn with pure anger, ìif pepper sends those things down onto venom, think about the innocent civilians, and what will happen to a planet ovverun with monstersî. ìI guess he plans on nuking the planet thenî said greg carelessly. ìtell meî began jocelyn, ìwhat is in hazardous chemical room, why is the creature stockpiling bodies thereî.  ìthe creatureî said greg thoughfully, ìthe creature is not what we have to worry about, when the alien child killed the clean mean and escaped, it lay an egg in the body of one of the clean men, the egg hatched and is now what you see out there, the child is hibernating in the hazardous chemical room, waiting for enough food to make itís sfinal transformatonî. ìwhat thenî asked jocelyn. ìthenî said greg, ìwe have a full grown monster on the loose, we have been surveying the other demension, and these things grown to be about the size of a skyscraper, in short, corneria would be destroyedî.  ìso you seeî said jocelyn, ìif we kill the child, then we can stop it from becomming the giant monsterî. ìitís not that simpleî said greg, ìthat creature is guarding the child, it has sensors put up around it to smell aout any danger, if we go near it, we will have that monster on usî. ìI think I know what to doî said jocelyn obviously impressed with herself, ìfollow meî. Jocelyn led greg back to the hazardous chemicals room, it was still the same inside. Jocelyn walked over to the hibernating child and looked around for the sensors, sure enough, there were several large pod shaped sensors lying around the child, jocelyn took out a large bottle of air freshener and began to spray the sensors. ìwhat the hell are you doingî asked greg shocked. ìI wanít to confuse the ceatureî said jocelyn after she emptied the whole bottle, ìnow I need you to take me to the enviormental control center for the basementî. ìsureî said greg confused, they left the hazardous chemicals room and greg led her down another set of corridors to a small non-descript room with a computer and several moniters in it. Inside jocelyn fooled around with the computer until the monitor shoed the hazardous chemicals room. Just as she suspectd, the creature was snifing around the room cautiosly, jocelyn pulled the temperature level and leaned back and laughed. ìfreeze to death you little freakî said jocelyn thru her laughing. ìwhat are you doingî asked greg shocked. ìiím freezing the thingî said jocelyn, I did this before and it seriosly injured itî. Just as suspected the creature stopped moving and collapsed to the floor. ìnow we have to hurryî said jocelyn. She and greg ran as fast as they could back to the hazardous chemicals room, it was freezing in there, and the creature was lying dead on itís stomach, jocelyn picked up a lqarge knife from a nearby table and was about to plunge it into the child when she was hit with a flashback, of the hospital room, the child with 19 gunshot wounds. ìwhats wrongî asked greg. ìI canít do itî said jocelyn strained, the visons were to strong it was almost as if they were being fed to her by the child. ìlet me tryî said greg, ìhe took the knife from jocelyn and was about to kill the child when he dropped to the ground clutching his head. ìwhatís wrongî asked jocelyn, but she knew, something was very wrong with this child. Jocelyn took the knife, she was determined, no stupid vision was going to stop her, she raised the knife but this time the visions came stronger, she almost lost reality completely, this time they were random pictures from her past, images that wouldnít have bothered her normaly, but under this light they looked scary and evil. Suddenly she was snapped back to reality, the creature behind her was moving, it was changing again. it almost melted into a puddle, this time it was bigger, the size of a person, except it was all wrong, it was furless and grey, almost like a dolphin, and it had two bright red eyes and large claws, and it walked upright. It began to wallk towards greg and jocelyn, it moved swiftly, almost mesmerising, jocelyn couldnít even move, greg grabbed her and they ran from the room back into the hallway and greg slammed the door shut and locked it. There was a deafening banging sound as the creature slammed itself against the door, ìhurry, use the air ducts to escapeî yelled greg, ìitís to big to follow youî. ìwhat do you mean meî asked jocelyn confused. ìyou go on ahead, I have some things I need to deal with down hereî explained greg. With that, he ran off leaving jocelyn alone. She ran for the air duct system and climed in just as the creature burst thru the door into the hallway. She collapsed  as soon as she was safe, she didnít know where she was going, but she knew she had to get out of the basement and fast. Suddenly the phone rang, she picked it up, ìhelloî she said. ìitís me, foxinî said foxin, ìwhere are youî. ìiím, on my way upî said jocelyn thinking fast, ìiíll talk to you when I get thereî. With that, she hung up and followed the air duct system back to the elevator shaft, she got back on the ladder and began to climb. It was a tourturous climb, but she finaly made it back to the first floor lobby. Once there, she took the second elevator, she prayed this one wouldnt fall. She felt nervous again the moment the doors closed and it began to climb. The floors flew past her, she just stoood there watching waiting for the elevator to fall, finaly it iopened up on the sixtieth floor. The executive offices were incredible, they had a huge wall sized window that looked out on the city below, in that moment jocelyn was determined not to let the creatures out into the city, she felt almost like the city was her child and she was protecting it. ìso, you finnaly made itî said foxin as he walked in from the shadows, ìI have been listening in on you and greg, he is lying, you canít trust a word he saysî. ìwhat is the truth asked jocelyn. ìthe thruthî said foxin almost laughing bitterly, ìiíll tell you what you can believe, first of all, there was a thrshold project, it was two projects really, gregís and mine, my project was a cure for the aquas plaig, his was to examine a disturbance in the space time continuim, sort of like time travelî. ìbut he failedî said jocelyn beginning to peice the puzzle together, ìand your cure created a monster, and he wantís credit so tat his project will look like a successî. ìexactlyî said foxin. ìI donít careî said jocelyn, ìall I know is that we need to kill this thing before the child wakes upî. ìhow would you plan on doing thatî asked foxin, ìI saw how neither you or greg had a chance at killing itî. ìThere must be a way of stopping itís mind control systemî said jocelyn hopefully. ìby the wayî said foxin, ìcare to know what greg is doing right nowî. ìI guessî said jocelyn a little confused, then she remembered the video camera system. ìobserveî said foxin with a dark laugh as he turned on a nearby moniter. On the screen was greg, he was in the enviornmental control booth, he appeared to be warming the office area up. ìwhat is he doingî asked jocelyn stunned. ìdonít you seeî asked foxin impatiently, ìhe is making the offices hot, so that the creature will come up hereî. ìwhy would greg do thatî asked jocelyn suddenly nervous, then it hit her, he wanted to take them out, greg was in it after all. ìyou know what he wants to doî said foxin. Suddenly they both heard a sickening cracking from the main doors to the exectutive offices, the creature was clearly visiable thru the thick glass. Jocelyn grabbed the control to the intercom, ìgreg, what the hell are you doingî she screamed in anger and fear. ìjocelyn, what are you doing in the executive officesî asked greg startled, ìyou have to get out of there, iím trying to kill that thingî. The easiest way out was the window, except for the sixty story drop to corneria down below. Jocelyn spotted the answer, it was the window washer cradle, ìfollow meî said jocelyn decisivly. She picked up a wooden cane from one of the desks and began to bang it against the window. Withing a few strikes the window broke out and the path was clear to the window washer cradle, she and foxin climbed onto the cradle and began to pull it towards the roof. It took what seemed like hours, but they finaly climbed onto the roof, it was almost dawn now and the city would be waking up soon, it seemed so close yet so far away. Jocelyn and foxin just stood there, they didnít know what they were going to do, ìjust wait hereî said foxin, ìI have called for help, we should be picked up soonî. ìwaitî said jocelyn panicking, greg said the police where in it toî. ìyou are far to trustingî said foxin laughing coldly, ìI just called general pepper, he will be quite pleased to know that the weapon in completeî. ìnoî said jocelyn with more emtion than she thought possible, ìyou are not using this creature as a weapon, I will kill you and the damn thing myself before I let that happenî. Just then the creature burst thru the sixtieth floor window and lept up unto the roof with jocelyn and foxin. Jocelyn backed away as far as she could from the creature, foxin just stood there staring at it. ìnow for the final testî said foxin darkly, he pulled out a small round bomb and threw it at the creature. The creature was caught in the explosion, but it was not fire, it was a freezing mist that left the creature frozen. Jocelyn knew what was going to happen now, the creature was going to mutate again. Suddenly greg appeared from the sixtieth floor window and climbed up to the roof. ìjocelyn, dont g near that thing, itís not deadî yelled greg as he joined her by the edge of the roof. ìwell, looks like you are both here to witness my moment of gloryî said foxin laughing, ìneither of you will escape, no one will know that this creature was created by gregís experiment and not mineî All was silent of the roof of the cornerian acadamy, jocelyn and greg and foxin were just standing there staring at eachother. Suddenly, the beast on the roof began to melt, everyone was speachless, it was mutating again, this time it liquified, it poured down the side of the building like candle wax, and it rested in a pool in the streets below. It began to harden and form the beasts final form, it was the size of the acadamy, it was huge. The creature looked like a giant lizard, it raised itís head back and began to gather some sort of electrical current from the surrounding air. It had itís sights on jocelyn greg and foxin, itís blast would surely kill them all. At the last moment, jocelyn saw an explosion on the creatures back, it was from a helicopter, and general pepper called out from the door. ìyou have done a very good job everyone, the creature has proved itís usefulnessî. The monster turned itís attention on the helicopter and began to draw another bolt of electric fire, the helicopter flew out of the way just in time to avoid it, and sent a second spray  of rockets at the beast. The beast got a rocket right in itís mouth, it stopped cold and crashed into the ground leveling several nearby building. Everything was finaly over.
 

      Several hours later, jocelyn and greg were explaining the whole story to general pepper, about how foxin wanted t use the creature as a biological weapon. General pepper sighed deeply as they finished their story, ìim sorry, but it would appear that you to know something that is dangerous to you and meî. He motioned to two bodyguards who walked over to his side, ìyou know what to do, the usualî said general pepper laughing darkly. The two men pulled out their guns and pointed them at jocelyn and greg. Jocelyn leaned against greg so that she wouldnt have to watch, and greg did the same with her, two gunshots later, there was nothing standing in general peppers way of intergalactic domination.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

    The sun was rising slowly over the venomian capital, all was quiet, except for a lone helicopter flying over the city, it dropped a small container into the dirty ground, several containers began to fall from the sky, and the helicopter pulled out. One of the containers opened and six small creatures in form one crawled out, like all the other pods. The creatures scattered around their new environment, they would soon begin to feed, and grow, and reproduce, they would change several times, and venom would be no more, the creatures began to feed as the unsuspecting city slept.
