The bullets hit the charging Carnotaurus, but they didn't seem to kill it. Instead, the animal howled and swerved away, its flank smacking into Persephone and sending her sprawling, the carnivore disappearing from sight yet again...
Jack watched the event from the other side of the room, debating whether or not to move and help Persephone. That was when he heard the snort behind him. He spun quickly, but couldn't even raise his gun before he was sent flying backwards a short distance, landing hard on his back. "Sonuvab**tch!" he growled, only to see the second Carnotaurus appear before him, the creature having a nasty-looking wound across its flank, exposing the muscle underneath. Jack grimaced as the animal snarled at him. Even as it opened its mouth to strike, it was interrupted by a voice: "Hey, ugly!" The Carnotaurus turned to look at the doorway, seeing Barnes standing there, rifle aimed at it. Jack quickly scurried backwards as he realized what was about to happen. "Try eating this!" Barnes snarled, firing the underslung grenade launcher...
There was a terrific BOOM as the grenade hit the Carnotaurus in its gaping wound, absolutely nothing to protect it as the grenade exploded on contact. The force of the explosion tore the Carnotaurus' entire left side apart, and it collapsed with a howl of agony, blood and guts splattering across the floor and shelves. Jack coughed with disgust upon smelling the charred flesh. "Jesus Christ, LT! Was that really necessary?!" Barnes quickly helped the stunned Jack to his feet, saying, "Yes. Yes it was. Where's Persephone? I saw Bruce back there, but--" "She's fine. I think. Another of those d*mn things is hunting her over there." "Let's get a move on, shall we? We'll make mincemeat out of that lizard!"
