the Reaper landed with a crunch, in an alley at the side of the police station. it's rattling hiss echoed loudly in the empty streets. Jose glanced around in the police station, weapon in hand, knowing the sound was coming from somewhere near the entrance, but not knowing where exactly...
A series of crunches could be heard on the second floor of the shopping complex, the cause being the massive beast currently hunting within the building. Nemesis was getting irritable. restless. now that he had had a true encounter with this human, he was determined to make sure it didn't live to tell of it. he had pursued it for over 3 city blocks in a flat out run. the human had escaped twice thanks to luck. once when his chase was cut short by the ground collapsing under his feet during a pursuit, and again when the human managed to get behind a surprisingly sturdy barricade. he didn't intend to let him escape a third time. upping the pace, Nemesis moved on, the crunches beneath his feet constant due to shattered glass and other debris from the shops at his side. however, as he passed the entrance of one such shop, something gripped his leg and almost caused him to fall, Nemesis going down on one knee to stabilise himself. a low growl came from him as he straightened again, turning his head to face the attacker, a kreature with one large arm, and what seemed a small worm-like extension or perhaps the remains of muscle tissue from the other arm. the creature swung at him with it's other arm again, the arm stretching strangely towards Nemesis, who sidestepped the swing just as a set of claws burst forth from the 3 otherwise normal fingers. the arm was drawn back, a noticable recovery time visible in the creature as the returning arm caused it to go back a step. Nemesis made use of this time, charging forward and ramming the creature, which was 2 feet shorter than himself, the one armed monster tumbling back into the outside display of what turned out being a Sports shop, slamming right into the display and crushing the mannequins inside, and falling into a hole in the wooden bottom of the display. the creature heaved itself up and swung it's arm forward again, but Nemesis was ready for it this time, sidestepping it with alarming speed for his size, grabbing ahold of the arm, his strength crushing whatever bone existed inside the arm, and pulling it towards him, the creature stumbling forward, Nemesis sending one of his tendrils out of his free hand, which he had positioned perfectly to meet the stumbling beast, the tendril stiffening as the creature fell face first into Nemesis' hand, it's head being impaled by the purple-ish grey tendril, coming out the back of the head tinted red, the creature in hand falling limp, the tendril being pulled back into Nemesis' arm as he tightened his grip on the skull and lifted the creature off the ground, and threw it sideways over the railing down to the first floor, crushing a table in the external cafeteria below with a loud crash, plates, glasses, the wood itself bein crushed under the creature's weight, the sound of it echoing loudly throughout the area. Nemesis let loose a roar, before proceeding with his hunt for the human...
