Mr. Sho chuckled a bit when they left the room. He sat down, to wait for them to finish up. "Riichirou is making our scores go down a little. Sometimes I wonder if he is doing it on purpose..." He said, talking to himself. Surely even a 12 year old would know to lock up after himself by now.
Naoya already shot the stone-lizard-alien he met in the hallway when they first broke out. He would stay down for a while, because of the stone-like body it would take a long time for the anesthetic to wear out of its bloodstream.
Since the school wasn't in a lockdown the last alien must had been in one of the class rooms. Because last time, it was on the roof, and there the space was so open it didn't take too long for the alien party to bring it down. It must be confiding in a place where it would be harder to skate around.
Naoya was not just hurrying to get everything finished now, he also wanted to test his skills. When he first versed this alien Mirai and Riichirou were there helping him out. They worked as a team, and no one was necessarily a weak link, everyone was doing fine for their age. But Naoya hated help. He wanted to know that he would be fine on his own with something like this. He really wanted... to be powerful.
"You should wait for your team mates..." Naoya's borg muttered as his master focused his attention on the classroom windows.
"Silence!" Naoya answered, even though it was hard to make out what the borg said. The point was, that the borg was talking to him. It was already sitting my head, that should be more than enough for him! Such words were a common thought. Since he hated aliens.
Then finally, he caught sight of it. On the second floor. It looked around 6ft tall. It had massive hands, with four spikes for claws on it's veiny muscular hands. The back legs looked like undefined limbs, and the tail was long with a few feathers at the tips. It also had few feathers on the shoulders, and head. The eyes were very catlike, the neck was undefined, and the head and belly resembled that of a whale. Its name was the Galtos.
A single glance was all it took. Naoya didn't even pass the classroom windows yet, and it opened its mouth and attacked through the windows-- shattering one of them. What came out of its mouth resembled bandages, hundreds of them. Much like the drills, but with a different function. To wrap around the victim and squeeze them to death. Naoya had intentionally fallen on his knees and let the momentum drag him under the attack as he leaned back to let it come over his body without touching him.
He took shelter behind the door of the classroom, and watched as the creature retracted the bandages. He knew that he didn't have much time until the two arrived, which was why he skated so fast to find it first. Knowing at that attack length, it would take around 30 seconds for the alien to be able to attack again-- Naoya barged the door open and shot his stun gun at it. But with a flick of the alien's tail, the bullets were dispersed.
The alien faced him, still retracting the fibers into his mouth. It raised the feathers on its head, and blinked with a transparent eyelid.
Naoya stood there at the door. The alien finished retracting his previous attack. In a split second the bandages flung towards him again, and he dodged to left, hardly in time. A bandage caught onto his skate, but a shot of the gun kept it at bay.
He tried to shoot it a couple more times from where he was, but he alien flung the bandaged over his head, and across the room so that the bandages would get hit, and not him. It did so while it was still retracting its shot.
"Tsst!" Naoya said. Knowing that he had run out of time.
