My warriors stopped rejoicing, and I could feel their heart beats thumping out loud. ~ Sam and Marsai were still running until they came across a creature. They didn't understand what kind of creature it was, and they moved back slowly. It was a scorpion man. He had scales all through his body, there was no part of his body that was spared from his scales. His muscles were big and intimidating and his tail was big and well curved with its stingers, looking sharp and dreadful. “Don’t panic.” Sam says to her, an escape plan forming in the back of his head.

Jagged, chitinous armor. Glowing, hostile red eyes. They were huddled together in the pouring rain, holding crude, glowing alien staves and makeshift energy shields. "What's wrong with their pathing?" Ren asked, keeping his crosshairs trained on the largest Scourge Brute in the center.

Please find the new water source and return before they bring the inventor to their base."

Moments later, Scar located Shane and his goons, creeping along on four legs downwind of the rebels, slowly advancing on to their direction , their tails twitching in impending attack. Damon and Scar came rushing out of the woods to intercept them. Shane spun and noticed the attack just as Damon came leaping at him with fangs bared.
