41 Chapter 41 Shuttles! (1/2)

”Ahhhh!” he screamed, rolling on the ground.The burning had intensified until he felt like he was being cooked on his back side.

”It's napalm!” she cried, running for the armory.

Dustin rolled on the ground, trying to put the fire out, but the pain, when he rolled onto his back, was so intense, he immediately rolled back off of it.

Suddenly, he was blinded by freezing cold clouds of white.He couldn't tell what hurt more, the cold or the hot.

(HOST HAS BEEN DAMAGED.RECOMMEND EVOLUTION CHANGE TO HEAL DAMAGE TO PLATES.)

”What?” he thought hazily, as he writhed on the ground.He could feel the pain on his back fading, as his healing kicked in.

(HOST HAS TAKEN DAMAGE TO PLATE SCALES.NORMAL HEALING WILL NOT REVIVE THEM.)

”Then,” he sat up as his back stopped hurting, ”Initiate evolution of this same form so they revive.”

(INITIATING EVOLUTION)

Dustin loved his healing ability, and really grieved for anyone who had to suffer from burns.They were the most horrible things he could remember having suffered.

”Better?” asked Olivia, holding a strange contraption he assumed was the alien equivalent of a fire extinguisher.

(EVOLUTION COMPLETE)

”Much!Oh God!You are an angel!”

”Well, I've been called better, but I'll take it,” she said with a wide grin.

Before he could groan, a Josagn rushed through the hologram doorway, and aimed his laser at them, firing off several shots.

Both blasts hit Dustin square in the chest, and he watched amazed, as the armor activated, reflecting the blasts back at the Josagn, and sending him flying back through the hologram doorway.Dustin fell back against the wall behind him, but he didn't waste any time and scrambled towards the last door.Why the hell did the armor just now decide to kick in???

Olivia grabbed up her duffle bag, and followed close behind him.He looked at her and she nodded.They both kicked the door open, and charged into the room.There were about twenty Josagn, waiting for them with weapons drawn.
