[b] Enjoy. [/b] [i] Of all the damn places this thing could've been, it had to be Europa. I hate ice. [/i] The Hunter's sparrow left a heated trail on the ice. She tilted her sparrow, and swerved it to the right. In front of her was, as it seemed, a three-story building. It was surrounded with ice. From the northern side, the ice looked as though it had been blown back, towards the building. The Hunter maneuvered her Sparrow closer to the building. [i]ROOAAR![/i] "Ghost. Give me a scan in a sixty-five meter radius." Instantly, a digital-white beam shot out in a circle around the Hunter. "Nothing." Her Ghost whispered to her. The Hunter took a breath, she grabbed the sidearm strapped to her thigh. She quickly checked its magazine. [i]Shit. Nineteen rounds total. Alright Kelsey, it'll be fine. You've still got that Icebreaker. [/i] Kelsey moved away from the building, and out into the ice-fields. She knew it wasn't wise, but she had to draw the beast out somehow, and this was the easiest way. But also the riskiest. [i]ROOAAR![/i] [i]The beast's roarings were getting longer.. and louder. Either it was getting louder.. or I was getting clo-SHIT![/i] The ice beneath the sparrow shattered, the crack could be heard on Earth. Europa was a satellite whose "crust" was strictly ice. What lay under was water, and because Europa had no atmosphere, the water could bring the temperature several hundred degrees on anything the moment it was touched, even a ship. Kelsey looked behind her, and she saw something... both beautiful and horrifying, It was a monster, a beast. This beast's scales were colored a nightmare-black, water leaked from its open mouth. The beast was shaped like a worm, but had only its shape in similar qualities. The creature's mouth was unhooked, a set of four fangs protruded from it, the fangs dripped with an indescribable liquid, but from what Kelsey saw, it was bright blue. The monster's scales were also penetrated by orange crystals, the crystals were glowing with a beautiful light. The glow almost took away from its horror, but its horror surpassed its beauty. Kelsey pushed her Sparrow to its limits, the air around her blowing back her cloak. [i]Come on, come on![/i] Kelsey, like lightning, turned her Sparrow, facing it towards the super-massive worm. "Ghost! Autopilot this thing, while I look for a weak spot!" "Uh, Madam, are you sure there even is one?" "No. But I have to look! Here." Ghost took control of the Sparrow, with a machine whose reflexes were faster than any human, as well as driving-skill, Ghost handled the Sparrow with ease. Meanwhile, Kelsey had to look with a naked eye for the beast's weak point. The worm dove under the ice, and on its butt was a shining purple set of crystals. [i]There.[/i] "Ghost! Try and steady this thing!" Kelsey drew her Icebreaker, and placed it on the stern of the Sparrow. She wrapped her legs around the carriage of the sparrow, and her bosom against the seat, and her feet were pushing the bow of the Sparrow. "Ghost, I need you to bait out this thing. I need it to surface, and go back into the water!" Ghost complies, and slows the Sparrow down. It listened, and waited. [i]Swish..[/i] Ghost suddenly puts the Sparrow into full speed, and behind the duo was the massive worm-like beast. "Ghost!" Ghost slows the Sparrow once again, and Kelsey lines up a shot. With Ghost already driving, she has no spotter, nor any way of calculating the time or wind. This shot was completely blind. [i]Bang![/i] The shot reflected off the worm's scales. The worm's mouth opened up into what looked like a smile, a devious, evil smile. The creature suddenly ducked under the water, and rose faster than Kelsey could see. [i]ROOAAR![/i] [i]BOOM![/i] [i]CRASH![/i] Kelsey lay on the ice, and placed her hands upon it. "Ghost?" No response. She repeated it. "Ghost?" Nothing. She rose, and noticed she still has everything. [i]But Ghost.[/i] Kelsey looked behind her, the ice-fields were in ruin. They were cracked, and torn. Like a sword from the heavens decided to cut it. "Ghost?!" Her voice got louder, and the plea got longer. She repeated it, with no answer in return. She repeated it again, nothing responded. She searched in the surrounding area, not a sign. Kelsey saw her Sparrow lying on its side, and rushed to it. She flipped it on its right side, and saw a small, black figure on the seat. She bent down, and picked the figure up. "Ghost?" Her voice choked. The figure disappeared in thin air, and left behind a trail of white-bits. Kelsey kneeled. She let her tears fall, and they dripped down the inside of her helmet. "Ghost."
