- "Hey, Dean," Brockton yelled as he crouched and rolled the globe toward the wrestling monsters. "Catch."
- The hunter turned at the sound, but that only allowed the alien to slice his flesh again, spilling more green blood onto the ground. Dean howled and staggered. He'd lost a lot of blood. Then he saw the object rolling on the ground, and it seemed to galvanize him. He twisted and lashed out with a vicious back-kick, knocking the insect alien back. The thing hit the wall and rebounded, but it was enough time. Dean ducked and snatched up the ball, pivoted and smashed it against the wall.
- The ball shattered, splattering against the wall with a blueish goo. Dean used his hand to scoop as much of it as he could. And, as the alien leapt at him with its jaws open and toothed tongue again emerging, Dean drove his left hand into the creature's mouth. Its outer jaw clamped down, and the inner teeth likewise tore at the flesh on Dean's fist.
- But the true damage was done. The alien recoiled sharply, pawing at its mouth with its one remaining hand. It stumbled sideways, obviously in terrible pain. Dean snarled and kicked the creature away,
- sending it sprawling on the floor. In shock, April saw that the remaining blue goo was dissolving the flesh on Dean's hand. But the alien had ingested the majority of it, and it was doing far worse to that creature.
- Doctor Kupihea and the other two stared in horror as the blue dissolving liquid wreaked havoc on both creatures. The skin on Dean's hand peeled down to the bones. He wobbled but stayed on his feet.
- Meanwhile, the alien was being eaten from within. It managed to push itself back onto its knees before collapsing onto its side. Even as its severed stump burned into the concrete floor, the blue goo melted the creature alive from within. Its chitinous chest collapsed inward as tissue and muscle dissolved. Blue liquid emerged from its joints and its mouth as the creature melted away.
- Dean looked down at the creature's rapidly dissolving shell. His broad chest heaved from exertion and pain, but he raised his foot and stomped on the gooey remains. Then he raised his good arm in the air and emitted an ear-piercing howl of savage victory.-41-42 chpt.1
