The Story of Dart: Chapter Two

Dart ducked and rolled as a dark shape lept at him. The shape snarled and started to make another leap but Dart switched on his Shrieker. Immediatly, the shape doubled over in pain, but Dart kept sprinting. The sound would attract other Guardians, more resistant to the Shrieker. And attract them it did! All around Dart, Guardians clawed and bit and scratched at Dart. His spidersilk jumpsuit protected him from the worst of the injuries, but even it would tear over time.

Dart could see the door out and was sprinting towards it when he tripped on a sleeping Guardian, dropping the package. Immediatly Dart jumped for the package, but it was swept away by the Guardians, further into the complex. The Guardians took advantage of his distraction, clawing as never before. Pushed by the pain and the Guardians, Dart ran out the door, leaving the package behind.
