<strong>~ Pvt. Angelina DeSilva, 1st Squad, still battling the overpowering single hostile in the jungle clearing ~</strong><br/><br/>The stench of burning metal. The frantic report of gunfire. The primal cries and grunts of heated battle. The urgent movements of the marines as they each executed their individual deadly dance with the fearsome creature.  Each soldier striving to deliver a feast of death to the beast, while simultaneously attempting to avoid consuming that malignant meal themselves.<br/><br/>Her long dark hair plastered against her sweaty skin and her face a grimace of impotent frustration, it was as if Angelina didn’t even exist to the creature or for her squad. The multitude of deadly cartridges she had discharged from her pulse rifle had harmlessly rained down on the jungle floor as the creature avoided her attack with impossible ease.<br/><br/>As Zippo’s flames began to dissolve the molecular bonds of the steel netting and she was able to free herself from the melting metal, Angelina’s relief was meager and fleeting as she shoved her knife back in its holster. Turning in time to see Sarge’s perfectly placed 6-round smackdown do little more than further enrage the creature, she  grabbed for her rifle again, shouting her angry confusion to everyone and no one, “What the hell<strong>IS</strong>this goddamn thing?”<br/><br/>Seeing Rome regain his focus and take deadly aim with his powerful M56, and catching sight of Sarge rolling and grabbing his pulse rifle to take up an attack position, Angelina immediately hustled to close in rank as Sarge yelled to the squad,<strong>"OPEN FIRE! Don't give it a chance to move!"</strong>Crouching and taking a low knee to the ground, she brought her rifle into position and slipped her finger to the trigger of the underslung grenade launcher.  After carefully lining up the creature in her sight, she launched all four grenades in succession directly at the beast, the three marines unleashing their torrent of deadly projectiles simultaneously.  Hoping Yui and Senjo were able to do the same, Angelina didn’t let her focus leave the hostile for even a split second to check on their positions as she switched back to bombarding it with her rifle rounds, praying that the barrage of their combined firepower would at least force the creature’s retreat if they couldn’t actually kill the motherfucker.<br/>
