章 61: Tremors
2008
Nevada Perfection Vally
Talbot was taking a drag from his cigarette looking over the cliff of the Vally.
Soon he threw his smoke away and headed for the truck where Sean 11 years old now was sleeping in a sleeping bag.
"Come on kid wake up." Talbot said.
"Fuck off." Sean said making him sigh before seeing a few cows making him smirk before getting on the truck and started shaking it.
"STAMPED! STAMPED SEAN! GET OUT THE WAY! GET OUT THE WAY!" Talbot yelled making Sean panic and fell out of the truck looking around only to see a few cows making him growl.
"You dumb fuck." Sean said annoyed making Talbot burst out laughing. "That was not funny. I was a stamped once you know a year before we ever met." Sean said.
"Exactly how many cows are required for a stamped anyway like three or more?" Talbot asked.
"Whoever said it had to be cows?" Sean asked making him chuckle before Sean got some high tech equipment out and placed it on the ground.
"Can't believe this is the last day in the valley. Started to grow on me." Talbot said.
"Well I'm just looking forward to sleeping in a real bed for a couple months after this." Sean said getting some readings from his equipment before it bleeped green making Sean sigh.
"Nothing?" Talbot asked.
"Not metal no nothing. I cant believe Sam sent us out here to see if there was any gold or silver left in the valley." Sean said getting his gear out.
"Well this place used to have an old silver mine here back in the old days." Talbot said before they got back in the truck and drove off.
As they were driving they spotted someone.
"Who's that? Thats not the Grad student now is it?" Talbot asked.
"No he graduated remember? Must be the new one." Sean said.
"New one? Thats supposed to be a girl." Talbot said driving up to her.
"Oh come on." Sean said before they parked right in front of her revealing her to be a brunet. "Huh." Sean said.
"Hi. You must be Sean and Talbot. I heard a lot about you. My names Rhonda." Rhonda said.
"We deny everything." Sean said laughing.
"Hey listen have you two noticed anything unusual around here? My seismic equipment has been acting up recently." Rhonda said.
"Probably just some new tech at the base. We'll check it out when we get back." Talbot said before driving off.
"You know we could have stuck around to help her." Sean said.
"What do we know about seismic equipment?" Talbot asked making Sean raise an eyebrow. "Ok I don't know shit about that stuff." Talbot said making Sean chuckle.
"Might not know anything but you could have gotten to know her." Sean said.
"Why?" Talbot asked making Sean groan in annoyance.
"Damnit Talbot. You don't go for any girl unless she fits that goddamn list of yours from top to bottom." Sean said.
"Well sure." Talbot said.
"Yeah and its dumber then my hind end. I mean like that Bobby Lynn Dexter." Sean said making him sigh before showing the photo.
"Tammy Lynn Baxter." Talbot corrected.
"Don't matter. They're all the fucking same. Dead fucking weight. Oooh I broke a nail. Makes my fucking skin crawl." Sean said.
"Yeah well your just a kid you don't know how this works yet." Talbot said.
"Keep telling yourself that." Sean said before they headed into perfection to Changs market. Outside the store was Melvin a arrogant son of a bitch.
"Hey shit stain." Talbot said as they went into the store.
"Hey dip shit. Touch the truck and die." Sean said.
"Oh man I'm really shaking little boy." Melvin said making Sean sigh before they went inside.
"Hey guys." Heather said as they sat down.
"Hey Heather. Burt." Sean said as Chang handed them drinks.
"Ran into that new college student Rhonda." Talbot said.
"Apparently she's having trouble with her equipment. Probably some new tech on the base thats doing that." Sean said taking a chug from his soda.
"You know those college kids turn up oil or uranium or something out there. Next thing the feds will be at our door. Sorry time to move. Eminent domain." Burt said.
"Dude you have got to get a life. The government is not like that. The way you think you'll have a heart attack before World War 3." Sean said.
"We'll see." Burt said.
Later
Sean and Talbot were heading to the base.
"I'm honestly going to miss this place." Talbot said making Sean chuckle.
"Yeah I guess I will to." Sean said before seeing someone on the power lines. "Oh now theres one job I will not take without a high pay." Sean said before Talbot got a better look.
"Hey hold up. Thats Edger Deems." Talbot said making Sean look closer.
"Oh yeah he only wears that one jacket." Sean said before they parked under him. They got out of the truck and looked at him seeing he wasn't moving. "Man he must have been real drunk this time. EDGER GET YOU'RE FUCKING ASS DOWN FROM THERE!" Sean yelled but he didn't say anything. "I am not going up there just to drag his sorry ass down from up there." Sean said making Talbot chuckle before climbing up to get him.
"One of these days you're going to get your ass on a wagon and stay there." Talbot said before reaching the top and looked at him and widened his eyes. "Holy shit!" Talbot said seeing he was dead if the flies and dead look in his eyes were any indication. "Uh Sean I think we might be staying here a little longer." Talbot said moving him around.
"Why?" Sean asked before Edger's dead body dropped down making Sean widen his eyes. "DUDE WHAT THE HELL!" Sean yelled.
"He was already dead." Talbot said climbing down. "What do you think?" Talbot asked making Sean sigh before examining the dead body.
"Well thats odd. From the looks of things he died Dehydration. Lack of water in his system." Sean said.
"Doesn't that take a couple days?" Talbot asked.
"Maybe three or more. The maxim amount of time a human can go without water is a whole week." Sean said. "Get him in the truck we can examine him better at the base." Sean said.
Soon they got back on the road passing a construction pair.
"Whatever caused him to climb up those towers must have really spooked him." Sean said.
"Who isn't afraid of a riffle? Hell you still keep Quint's old riffle." Talbot said before they passed Old Fred's place only to see...
"The hell!" Sean said as they quickly stopped and got out seeing Fred's sheep were all dead.
"What in the name of god?" Talbot asked before seeing Fred's hat on the ground. "I don't like this." Talbot said picking up the hat only to see his head.
"OH FUCKING HELL!" Sean yelled in shock jumping back.
"Ok screw going back to the base we need to warn the others." Talbot said as they got back in the truck and headed back to the others.
Chang and Miguel were talking when Talbot and Sean came in with Melvin asking them about what they told him about Old Fred and Edger.
"Come on your both bullshitting me."Melvin said.
"Nope." Talbot said trying to use the phone only to find it not working. "Oh for crying out loud. Walter your fucking phone is dead." Talbot said before they went outside to the truck.
"Now look guys. You need to get to the base and get some help down here and step on it." Nestor said.
"Consider it stepped on." Talbot said as they drove off. "We just tried to leave this place one damn day to late." Talbot said to Sean who sighed.
"Don't be surprised if everyone we know between here and the next town is dead. LOOK OUT!" Sean yelled as a landslide of rocks was in the way. "Are you fucking kidding me? Is there a higher force at work here?" Sean asked as they got out of the truck.
"What are these guys doing? Blasting? HEY WHERE ARE YOU GUYS IT'S NOT LIKE THERES ANOTHER ROAD ASSHOLES!" Talbot yelled and Sean looked around seeing one of their helmets covered in blood.
"Uh Talbot." Sean said pointing to the helmet making his eyes narrow before they both got in the truck and tried to drive off only for Talbot to slam into the wall. He tried to go forward but couldn't.
"Jesus I don't believe this." Talbot said.
"Your hung up." Sean said.
"I am not." Talbot said trying to move the truck but couldn't.
"Your hung up you idiot. You're going to burn the clutch!" Sean yelled before Talbot got free and drove off. "You can break an axle like that." Sean said.
"Could you shut up?" Talbot asked.
"I'm just saying man." Sean said before they got back to the store.
"I thought you two would be at the base by now." Burt said.
"The road is blocked from a fucking landslide." Sean said.
"Mom!" Mindy yelled seeing something attached to the truck on the bottom.
"What the?" Sean said seeing a snake attached at the bottom. "Where the hell did that come from?" Sean asked.
"Next time I tell you I'm not hung up." Talbot said before Sean pulled it off.
"Never seen a snake like this. Might be a mutation or something new. Might also be whats killing everyone and everything here." Sean said.
"I'll give you 5 bucks for it." Chang said.
"20." Talbot said.
"Ok 10." Chang said.
"15." Sean said making Chang sigh.
"Alright 15." Chang said.
"I cant believe you guys." Nancy said making Sean smirk.
"Money is money." Sean said.
Later at night
"15 lousy bucks." Talbot said seeing Chang was using the snake for pictures for 300 bucks.
"Dude knows how to plan ahead." Sean said.
"Look we arm ourselves, we set perimeters, we stand guard. Any of those snake things show up here, we make them extinct." Burt said.
"Come on, Burt, get serious." Nestor said.
"Yeah. You make it sound like a war." Miguel said.
"What do you people got against being prepared? Wheres the sugar?" Burt asked looking for the sugar.
"Rambo." Talbot said making Sean chuckle.
"Not that I have anything against his ideas this time but come on Burt the only ones who have any experience in battle are me, Talbot, You and Heather. Everybody else here is just regular civilians." Sean said.
"He's got a point." Heather said.
"Why don't we just call to base using Walter's radio?" Nancy asked.
"Use an old radio to contact a highly advanced military base? I don't think so. Besides we don't really use those things anymore. Everything is all digital now." Talbot said.
"What are we going to walk 20 miles to the base?" Burt asked.
"Nope. We die of heat stroke long before we get there. Plus those things are out there." Sean said.
"What about Walter's saddle horses." Miguel said.
"You're welcome to them." Walter said taking a picture of the snake with Melvin.
"Well shit." Sean said.
Next morning
Sean and Talbot were getting the horses ready.
"Brining along Quint's riffle?" Talbot asked noticing it was strapped to his back.
"I like this riffle. Besides I'm sure if he was still around he want me to have it." Sean said getting on the horse before Burt and Heather drove up.
"You guys all set?" Burt asked.
"As ready as we'll ever be." Sean said.
"Heather and I are gonna drive around and find that college student tell her to get back to town." Burt said.
"Hopefully she's still alive." Sean said.
"Hold on a sec. You two need more firepower then those guns." Heather said.
"I'm fine with what I got." Sean said. "This riffle belonged to an old friend of ours who got killed by a great white shark." Sean said before hearing Melvin screaming coming out of the store with the snake around him.
"ITS GOT ME!" Melvin screamed making Mindy scream as her mother pulled her away before Melvin started laughing showing it was a joke before Sean shot the snakes head making Melvin jumped back in shock. "Dude what the hell you could have shot me!" Melvin yelled.
"That was the idea dumb fuck. One of these days someone is gonna kick your little ass. Lets go." Sean said as he and Talbot went off.
Later
"Doc?" Talbot called out as they were at the doctors place but found no one.
"Car's not here so we probably just missed them." Sean said before hearing music. "Hmm?" Sean said confused.
"Wheres the goddamn music coming from?" Talbot asked as they looked around before Talbot kicked something in the ground making a clang sound. "The hell?" Talbot said digging the dirt out of the way and found a car buried in the sand.
"Holy fucking hell!" Sean said before they rushed back on the horses and ride away. "Ok heres the plan we ride like hell till we get to the base. We are in way our fucking heads." Sean said.
"I know. The hell are those things. How could they bury a car like that?" Talbot asked.
"I'm more concerned as to why." Sean said before the horses started acting funny.
"Oh what now? Walter wouldn't know a good horse if it bit him in the ass." Talbot said.
"No thats not it they got wind of something they don't like." Sean said getting his riffle. "Whats going on here?" Sean asked.
"I don't see anything anywhere." Talbot said before Sean's horse threw him off and Talbot's did the same before running away. Talbot rushed to Sean. "You ok?" Talbot asked.
"Yeah but what about my horse?" Sean asked before seeing the snakes attacking the horse. "What in the name of!" Sean yelled pulling out his riffle and aimed at them.
"Thats how they get you. They're under the goddamn ground." Talbot said.
"I can see that. But what are they is my question." Sean said before firing at one of them making it retreat underground again. Suddenly the ground started to break apart.
"Must be a million of them." Talbot said before something came out of the ground but it was a giant worm.
"Or not." Sean said as the worm opened its mouth revealing three snake like tongues. "RUN!" Sean yelled as they ran like hell. The giant Worm went underground and chased them. "Oh hell man. This is way worse then a great white shark!" Sean yelled before they tried to jump an aqueduct but failed and tried to climb up only for the worm to ram into the stone wall killing itself.
"Stupid son bitch. Knocked itself cold." Sean said as one of the snake tongues came out hanging.
"Cold my ass. Its dead. We killed it. We killed it. FUCK YOU!" Talbot yelled laughing making Sean chuckle before some rocks slide down them making them jump only to see Rhonda.
"Oh its you." Sean said in relief.
"Hey, guys, whats going on?" Rhonda asked before seeing something bleeding in the wall. "Whats that?" Rhonda asked.
"Uh? We have no idea. Talbot got dig the sand off the body while I pry this thing open." Sean said.
"Yeah sure." Talbot said grabbing a shovel from Rhonda.
"Ok one, two, three." Sean said as he pulled a large stick to move the body further making Rhonda gasp in shock. "Oh good god! Does it smell like that cause its dead?" Sean asked as they examined it.
"I don't see any eyes. Must be totally subterranean. And those tentacles." Rhonda said.
"Yeah they reach out and grab you to pull you right in. Good thing we stopped it before it killed anyone else." Sean said.
"HEY! Hey check this out. I found the ass end. Jesus we really caught something here." Talbot said making them climb up to see the rest of the body.
"Holy shit. That is one big mother." Sean said
"This must be the old boy had your seismos working overtime." Talbot said.
"Looks that way." Sean said.
Rhonda was looking at some spikes on the body.
"This must be how it moves around. This thing had my sensors tripping all over the place." Rhonda said before her eyes widened and looked at her results.
"Ever heard of anything like this before?" Talbot asked.
"Oh sure Talbot. We all knew no just told you though. Oh come on man how the hell do you keep something like this a secret? Do you have any idea how much this body alone is worth to the government? Millions." Sean said.
"Hey both of you shut up." Rhonda said rushing to them. "They way I look at it there are three more of these things." Rhonda said.
"What?" Talbot asked.
"Three more? Great. We got to get back to the town and get the others out of here." Sean said.
"Wheres your truck?" Talbot asked.
"Over that hill." Rhonda said.
As they were walking to her truck Rhonda noticed one of her sensors working meaning one of the worms was close by. Talbot and Sean caught on.
"This way!" Sean yelled as they ran to a large rock and just in time as one of the worms tried to grab them and this one was missing the head of the snake like tongues. "Looks like the one who busted our truck." Sean said.
"Wheres yours?" Talbot asked.
"Over there." Rhonda said pointing to a cluster of large rocks.
"Oh man theres no way we can make that without at least one of us getting eaten." Sean said.
Hours later
"I think its safe to say that the worm is gone." Talbot said.
"Want to bet?" Sean asked throwing the shovel on the ground and the worm smashed it. "Thats why Edger didn't get off that fucking tower." Sean said.
"Hey guys I got an idea." Rhonda said.
"Look we're just going to have to run for it." Talbot said before Rhonda went to get a few poles.
"Run for it? We barley got away from the other one. Talbot your not thinking." Sean said.
"Who died and made you Einstein?" Talbot asked before.
"You guys better know how to poll vault." Rhonda said pole vaulting to the next rock making them widen their eyes. "We just stay where they cant get us." Rhonda said making Sean smirk before grabbing one of the poles she left behind
"Go one ahead we'll be right behind you." Sean said making her nod and moved on ahead. "That Tammy Lynn Baxter, she do much pole vaulting?" Sean asked trying to do the same but. "SHIT!" Sean yelled falling back down. Talbot chuckled before doing it better. "Showoff." Sean said making him chuckle before they all pole vaulted to the truck.
"Ok here we go." Rhonda said as they jumped in the back of the truck and Rhonda quickly got inside and drove off.
Later
"No you guys aren't listening. These snakes are just the tongues these animals are huge." Talbot said.
"I'm sorry. I'm having a real difficult time with this." Nancy said.
"You're not the only one. Walter, you reach Burt and Heather yet?" Sean asked as Walter tried to use the radio to talk to them.
"I cant reach them. I guess they're still driving somewhere." Walter said.
"Hey Rhonda, whats the name you call those things?" Miguel asked.
"Where do they come from?" Walter asked.
"Do we look like we know? No one in history has ever seen these things. Might be a mutation or something else doesn't matter though. The problem is they want to eat us like any predator does." Sean said.
"No name? We discovered them we should name them." Walter said.
"Walter, forget the damn name!" Talbot said having enough. "Now Sean and I think we need to get the hell out of this valley and get to the base and let Lane take care of this." Talbot said.
"We're not equipped for this." Sean said.
"Hang on, kid. Let's not go off half-cocked." Nestor said.
"Somebody is bound to come check on us once they see the roads and the lines are down." Nancy said.
"Maybe. Once we failed to reach our standard check in point. Sam, will send out a small search party." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"Sean and Talbot still haven't reported in yet." Sam said to Tom on the comm screen.
"Probably just a small delay. Give them another 12 hours before sending in a small search party." Tom said.
"Will do." Sam said ending the communications.
Back in Perfection
"I think its safe to say that these things are heading straight for the valley." Talbot said.
"More then likely." Sean said.
"I'm going to get Mindy." Nancy said.
"She's ok I saw her playing in the street." Melvin said following her.
"That's what I like. Graboids. Thats it Graboids!" Walter said making Sean and Talbot sigh.
"Jesus Christ Walter." Sean said.
"We're gonna be sorry if we don't give it a name." Walter said.
"Where the hell are we even supposed to go?" Nestor asked.
"The only place I can think of is the base." Talbot said before Melvin screamed making Sean look out the window only to catch his basketball.
"I scared you, didn't I?" Melvin asked laughing making Sean growl.
"You fucking asshole. You are without a doubt a COMPLETE WASTE OF FUCKING SPACE!" Sean yelled throwing it hard at him in the face making Melvin hold his busted nose.
"Does he always curse like that?" Rhonda asked Talbot making him chuckle.
"He picked that up from Quint. A year ago he wouldn't even curse any small words. Quint was a good friend of ours when we hunted down a great white Shark that was terrorizing the small island of Amity. Quint was killed by the shark and Sean was the one who killed it with his riffle." Talbot said before they heard Melvin scream again making Sean growl.
"THATS IT IM KICKING HIS ASS!" Sean yelled going outside.
"I'm going to help you." Talbot said as they all went outside.
"MELVIN! Where is that fucking shit stain?" Sean asked before seeing Melvin up high looking real afraid. "Ok he wasn't faking after all." Sean said before one of the now named Graboids came out of the ground making everyone run off in separate directions.
"SHIT!" Talbot yelled as Nestor went back to his place and Melvin went into the shed while the rest went into the store.
"Quiet." Sean said in whisper before hearing something outside seeing Mindy on her pogo stick. "Aw hell. Talbot get her before." Sean tried to say before one of the Graboids went for her making Talbot rush towards her and grabbed her off the stick while Nancy rushed to them.
"Shh quiet both of you." Talbot said as the pogo stick went under before the Graboid threw it out its mouth. "RUN GET IN THE HOUSE!" Talbot yelled making them do that while he got on the truck.
"Talbot get off of there it will just suck it down." Sean said before another one came after him and Rhonda. "Shit!" Sean yelled as they ran. However Rhonda ran into barb wire cutting into her legs. The Graboid then surfaced and tried to grab her. Sean rushed back inside to find something to cut into it. Talbot quickly got a pickax and hit it in the head before helping Rhonda.
"Get out of your pants." Talbot said getting her to do that just as the Graboid using its snake like tongues got the pickaxe out of it. Talbot and Rhonda rushed back to the store with Sean who had an axe in hand and then everything fell silent.
Talbot was treating Rhonda's injuries.
"Ow." Rhonda said quietly.
"Sorry." Talbot said before he was finished while Sean smirked at him making him roll his eyes.
"So what now?" Miguel asked as he handed Rhonda some new pants and shoes.
"Well we cant really go anywhere. Those things can wait for days. Probably why Edger never got off that damn tower." Sean said.
"Cant you mess with the radio till you get on the military signal?" Walter asked.
"I told you we don't use those anymore. Everything in the military is digital now." Sean said before the refrigerator started whirring.
"Turn it off." Talbot said as they rushed to it.
"Pull it back." Sean said since they couldn't reach the cord. Once it was done.
"I got it." Talbot said before one of the graboids came out of the floor and grabbed Walter making him scream.
"SHIT GRAB HIM!" Sean yelled as they tried to pull him out but were to late once the Graboid went under.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Talbot yelled before another one busted up from the ground.
"AW SHIT! Get to the roof." Sean yelled as they rushed up. Rhonda jumping on the counters tried to get up when the snake like tongues pushed them over. "Rhonda jump!" Sean yelled.
"I cant!" Rhonda yelled before she was pushed out the window making Talbot widen his eyes and rushed up the roof.
"Rhonda! Don't stop. Keep moving!" Talbot yelled running to the edge to find her only to see nothing.
"Hey." Rhonda said climbing the water tower making him sigh in relief.
"You ok?" Talbot asked making her give a thumbs up.
"Hey! Where are you guys?" Melvin asked from the shed. "What are you doing up there?" Melvin asked Sean seeing him on the roof.
"Melvin shut up! Get up on the roof!" Sean said.
"No way!" Melvin yelled before one of the graboids tried to get him making him rush to the top.
"See why now? Dumbass?" Sean said before Talbot yelled for the others to do the same.
Soon however they heard Burt on the radio.
"Aw hell." Sean said before he climbed down and grabbed it before Talbot and Miguel pulled him back up. Talbot grabbed the Radio.
"Burt can you hear us?" Talbot asked.
"Talbot what are you guys doing back so fast?" Burt asked before Heather started making noise with the bullet. Doing so one of the Graboids heard all the noise and rushed to them.
"Uh oh. Looks like they're going for them." Sean said.
(Sorry but I'm skipping this part since we all know how this turns out. For those who've seen the movie you know and those who don't look it up)
"We killed that motherhumper!" Burt yelled on the Radio making everyone cheer.
"Nice work Burt! There are at least two more though." Talbot said.
Burt and Heather tried to shoot the one under them but couldn't since they couldn't penetrate through the dirt.
"We need a new plan here." Talbot said.
"Hey wait a second. Isn't there a bulldozer in the junkyard?" Sean asked.
"Yeah but its slower then hell." Talbot said.
"But its gotta weigh at least 30 tons theres no way they can lift that." Sean said.
"But we cant all fit on the bulldozer." Miguel said.
"We don't have to. The old trailer can fit everyone on it." Sean said.
"Hey guys he's to something." Rhonda said making everyone look to see the Graboid that broke Talbots truck was under the store before it was lifted up.
"The hell was that!" Sean yelled before they did the same to Nestor's trailer and tilted it over making him crash on the ground.
"Get off the ground Nestor!" Talbot yelled making him run to a large wheel that was on the ground.
"NO YOU IDIOT GET HIGHER!" Sean yelled before the Graboid grabbed Nestor and ate him.
"Ok so we'll get the trailer and get the hell out of here. But how? They'll just come after us." Talbot said.
"Doesn't Walter have a little tractor?" Sean asked.
"Yeah sure. Start him up and those things will follow." Miguel said.
"Not bad. Think it will work?" Talbot asked Sean before the building shook some more.
"Not like we got much of a choice." Sean said.
Sean and Talbot Lowered Miguel down to the tractor.
"So who's running?" Talbot asked.
"You. I'm not fast enough to get there." Sean said making him sigh before nodding. "All right Miguel start her up." Sean said making him do just that and started the little tractor up and the worms chased it. Talbot quickly jumped down and rushed to the tractor. However the little tractor tipped over.
"DAMN!" Sean yelled before the worms went after Talbot.
"Glenn stop they're coming! Be quiet don't move!" Rhonda yelled making him do just that when one of the worms surfaced.
"Shit this isn't good." Sean said.
Rhonda looked down seeing one of the piped on the water tower and quickly went down and busted it down making water pour down and making a lot of noise making the worms come to her.
"Nice work Rhonda." Sean said.
Talbot quickly got to the junk yard and attached the bulldozer to the trailer before starting her up.
"YES!" Talbot yelled before driving to the others.
Later
After getting everyone on the Trailer and picking up Burt and Heather the group of survivors were heading to the mountains to get to the base. However though the worms proved to be smarter then originally expected when they dug a trap and crashed the bulldozer and trailer.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Sean yelled in annoyance.
"Any more ideas?" Talbot asked before Burt threw an explosive at the worms making a loud bang before the worms made a screeching sound and ran off.
"Burt how many of those do you have?" Sean asked.
"About a dozen." Burt said before Sean saw a group of large rocks ahead.
"Ok heres the plan. Once they come back throw another one of those bombs at them and then once they run off we rush to those rocks." Sean said.
"You got it." Burt said throwing another bomb and the worms bolted. Everyone rushed to the rocks before getting on safely.
"Now what?" Talbot asked.
"We're going to have to wait till..." Sean said before an idea came to mind. "Burt if we got one of these bombs in them would it be enough to make them explode?" Sean asked.
"Sure but I don't think their dumb enough to just eat anything." Burt said,
"We'll see." Sean said getting some rope together and tied one of the bombs to it while Talbot and Rhonda threw rocks out in the open till one of them showed up.
"Alright get back." Talbot said as he lit the bomb and Sean threw it out there. Sean slowly dragged it back before one of the Graboids swallowed it.
"GET DOWN!" Sean yelled before.
BOOM!
A large unground explosion killed the worm making its guts splatter everywhere.
"Just like the great white all over again." Talbot said making Sean chuckle.
Soon they did the same thing again till.
"Well look who it is." Sean said seeing it was the worm with the missing snake tongue.
"Give me that. This one is mine." Talbot said throwing it out there and just when the worm pulled it under it spits it back out and the bomb lands on the other bombs.
"SHIT RUN!" Sean yelled as they scattered away from the bombs just as they blew. Talbot was able to get one bomb before they blew. Sean, Talbot, and Rhonda were off the rocks.
"What are you doing out there!" Burt yelled as they tried to run but a Graboid came out of the ground before it went back under due to the lack of noise.
"This one isn't going anywhere." Talbot said.
"Well I'm out of ideas. Unless you want to use that bomb to scare him away. The best thing we can do now is get back to the rocks and wait till a rescue team arrives." Sean said.
"I got another idea." Talbot said before running to the cliffs making the Graboid jump out making Sean run with Talbot along with Rhonda.
"What are you doing!" Sean yelled.
"I GOT A GODDAMN PLAN!" Talbot yelled as they ran to the cliffs.
"This better be one hell of a great plan!" Sean yelled as they came to a stop and saw the worm heading right for them. Talbot shortened the fuse. "Light it already!" Sean yelled.
"Not yet...Now!" Talbot yelled as he threw it at the worm only for it to land behind him.
"To far your threw it behind him!" Sean yelled before it went off making the worm go faster. Sean and Rhonda got out of the way. "Talbot get out of the way!" Sean yelled before Talbot jumped out of the way.
"YEAH!" Talbot yelled as the Graboid went off the cliff. "CAN YOU FLY YOU SUCKER! CAN YOU FLY!" Talbot yelled before it went splat having its guts splatter everywhere. Sean and Rhoda walked to him.
"Where did you get an idea like that?" Sean asked.
"Stampede." Talbot said making Sean burst out laughing.
Later
Sean and Talbot were getting the truck fixed as Soldiers from the base arrived.
"Wonder what happens now." Sean said.
"Probably be on alert for more of those things." Talbot said before Rhonda approached them with a camera.
"Smile." Rhonda said before Talbot placed his hands on Sean's shoulders just as she took the picture. "Burt loaned me his camera." Rhonda said.
"Yeah he loaned us these wheels too." Sean said before Talbot got rid of his old girlfriend photos.
"Well hopefully I'll see you guys around." Rhonda said as she walked to her truck.
Sean slammed the hood down making Talbot look at him and Sean gave him an annoyed look.
"Alright fine." Talbot said before walking to Rhonda. "The hell would she want with someone like me? I'm just a grunt she's working on getting her PHD." Talbot said to himself. "Rhonda wait." Talbot said walking up to her. They just looked into each others eyes before they kissed each other.
"About time you dumbass." Sean said to himself laughing.
Present
Turok was laughing his ass off at the end of the story.
"Ah I remember this incident. To bad theres not more of those Graboids. Would have been an interesting hunt." Roland said before Talbot and Rhonda walked in.
"Well speak of the devils." Turok said.
"Huh?" Rhonda said.
"You told them that old story about 13 years ago didn't you?" Talbot asked making Sean chuckle.
"What can I say? You were an idiot back then." Sean said making Rhonda giggle at her husband.
Meanwhile in Mexico
A large cluster of unknown eggs began to move around before hatching into large worm like creatures.
