Utah Extreme: Chapter 1, Part 1
#1 of Utah Extreme
A bounty huntress from a world of heroism and brave deeds is transported into a dark and unpleasent universe fraught with bizzare creatures that appear to have no interests but to do her harm. It is up to her and her alone to escape and find a way back to her home universe.
Utah Bard belongs to one Computer Dinosaur.
The whir of the suits air conditioning was the first thing the bounty hunter known as Utah Bard heard upon waking from her torpor. Her vision blurry, she could feel her arms trussed in simple rope and a figure to her left leaning down and looking at a desk. Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her, for she could swear that the figure was wearing an armor made out of...bones. The figure suddenly turned its head toward her and she was pertubed by what she saw: A red skinned alien, its eyes a pure white and its pointy, razor sharp teeth jutting out grotesquely like a mockery of a skinned horse.
"Ah, He is awake!" The creature spoke in a deep yet smooth growl reminiscent of a parched-throat lizard. "I do like it when They wake up..."
The bounty hunter slowly looked around herself; Her location was in a barely lit cell with a single lightbulb shining over her black body armor , placed in what appeared to be a dark cellar. Feeling her vision clear she focused her gaze on the nightmarish creatures desk while beginning to pull her ropes off with the strength of her power armor. What she saw made her want to hurry up; The desk was packed with various torture implements, from cleavers to garrote wires to pliers.
"Ah, there It is!" said the creature and grabbed what appeared to be a...portable woodchipper!? Utah began to struggle and thrash against her bindings, the ropes slowly beginning to loosen from her flailing.
The monster chuckled and spoke again in its raspy voice "He should struggle! More fun for Me!" She could see the red skinned beast rev up its overwrought tool of torture, its circular blades beginning to whir and screech in an unholy cacophony of sharpened steel.
The bone-armored monstrosity turned toward and began advancing to the chair she was bound to, allowing Utah to see the razor sharp blades up close and personal; It was now or never.
In a quick and bold dash she lunged out of the chair, arm's outstreched at the abomination coming to greet her. She dashed a mere few inches past the cannibal's murder weapon and hit it square in the stomach, causing it to stagger and drop its tool. Utah was taken aback by the monsters sheer and unmoving fortitude; A lunge like that would have sent any lesser person hurtling into a wall!
Her black armored body collapsed onto the cold concrete floor, right in front of the aliens steel-toed and booted feet. The bounty huntress looked up at the beast, her blood red visor concealing an expression of terror and fear.
"Me should curbstomp Him, but Me would lose good brains."
A white-clawed hand plunged down and grabbed her by the helmet, the sharp talons piercing her visor as if it were nothing! The giant hoisted her up, causing its big claws to sink further into her helm, the clawed thumb just barely missing her left eye. Her breath's became more heavier and panicked while the red monstrum let loose a chuckle most malevolent and sadistic.
Thinking of a way to escape she realised she could teleport anywhere in the world. Using a quick neural impulse she told her suit to move her outside. Her ray of hope was immediatly dashed as she saw the words „Location unknown!" flash before her eyes in capital letters while the monste r before her began winding up a powerful, clawed stab with its other arm. Thinking quick and feeling the sharp white claws press against her bright-red fur she pressed her armored legs against the creatures armored chest and leapt, freeing herself with a metallic screech and sending her body hurtling to the other side of the room. As she looked back at her attacker she could see it holding a torn-off quarter of her helmet. She quickly placed her left hand over the exposed part, her fingers touching the soft red fox fur and her eyes widening in disbelief; No metahuman managed to rip her up this badly before!
She quickly tried to rise only for the monster to pull out one of the biggest guns she had ever seen! The onyx hand-cannon's barrel appeared to be slightly bigger than her head! Seeing no other option's that wouldnt result in her being killed the red fox threw her arms in the air and shouted, her helmet filtering the voice to sound deep and masculine.
"W-what do you want from me?" The bounty huntress spoke, her voice shaky and panicked along her exposed eye which was distended from terror. The creature didnt feel like talking and turned its safety off. Utahs terrified eyes scrambled for a possible exit route and noticed a large amount of space to her right.
With panicked breath and tears beginning to well up in her sapphire eyes she rolled to the side just as her assailant fired from his ebony murder tool. A loud clang rang throughout the darkened cell as the gigantic round hit one of the steel bars, the sheer force of it causing the metal pole to bend outward fiercely. Ringing of metal echoed throughout the cell, making Utahs fox ears ache slightly yet producing no reaction from the crimson beast.
Metallic noises of scraping could be heard as the panicked Utah slowly tried to hoist herself upward. As she rose to her feet she suddenly heard another loud bang and an impact in her armored back that sent her slamming into the concrete wall and collapsing back down. „There had to be some way to beat this thing." She thought to herself as the muscly behemoth began to approach her lying figure.
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. With a shaky step she pressed her iron feet and leapt outward while winding up a punch. The huntress slid directly under the monsters legs. The horse-like thing let out a silent yelp as the armored figure delivered a heavy punch straight to its joy department. Hope began to rise for the red fox as she continued to slide backwards and into the steel bars, crashing into them with a clang.
As the creature collapsed to its knees Utah noticed the iron chair she awoke bound to. Sensing an opportunity she shot to her feet and ran staggeringly towards the chair. Her tears slowly began to fade and a hopeful smile began to form on her furred face as black metal arms gripped the steel folding chair. The red fox flung the chair into the air and grabbed it by its white legs . It was time to give this scum the treatment it deserves...
Turning her attention to the pained monstrosity she folded the chair with an upward toss and began to approach it. The red...thing reached its left arm out, thinking that the huntress was going to murder it when in fact she had the opposite in mind. The chair came down upon the creature, hitting it on the head again...and again...and again until it collapsed onto the concrete floor...
