Carnage

"My name is Chandra." The man said to them. He explained that he had gotten into a cab and was then gassed, waking up here. Sally and Jim introduced themselves while exchanging weapons and they turned to introduce Stronghold and saw him sitting on the ground, resting against the wall. His eyes closed.
 "Stronghold?"
No response.
Sally ran over and checked on him. "S-Stronghold?"
He opened his eyes and smiled. "Sorry, just needed a moment to rest. Are you guys ready to go?"
"Yeah, but....but are you going to be okay?"
"I'm fine." He assured them again. He used the hammer to steady himself as he stood up and continued forward with the three of them following behind him.

Eerily, there was silence for several minutes, no sign of anymore lunatics. "Maybe....maybe it's over." Jim offered.
"Can only hope." Stronghold said.
They traveled down cell blocks, through hallways, down and up stairs, through more cell blocks and through a giant steel door to a new area. It was way different than the prison they had been in. It was much more wide open with a higher ceiling and bright lights. The whole room was painted white and the floor was stainless steel. "The hell?" was all Stronghold could ask.
"Is...is this it?" Sally asked. "Are we out? Are we free?"
"I-I don't know....this is...this is different that's for sure."
As Chandra followed them in and the door closed however, a metal gate slammed down in front of the door, blocking off any escape. "DAMMIT!" Stronghold turned to the gate and tuged on it. Nothing. "Damn."
"S-Stronghold?"
"Well....we're out of one prison and into another....the hell is this place?"
"I'm sorry." Chandra said.
"It's cool man. It's not your fault. Right now we just need to...to...."
Seeing Stronghold freeze up, the three turned as one to see what he was staring at. At the other side of the room, a giant, hulking, brute of a man walked into the room. His back was covered with bones protruding from his back, his muscles massive and engorged. A part of his face split open, revealing blood and bone.
This new enemy was different than the others were. This one, was not human.

The creature raised it's head and it's eyes, wide and bloodshot, fixed on them. There were hooks poking out of it's skin and peeling at the skin around the eyes. The eyelids had been cut off, as had the lips, revealing razor sharp teeth like a shark. In it's hand it wielded a bent sign.
"Shoot it."
"Stronghold?"
"JUST SHOOT IT!" Stronghold yelled at Jim.
He did so and took aim, emptying the rest of the handgun's ammo into it's chest. The bullets tore into it, causing black blood to spray out of it's chest. The creature kept coming however and swung the sign at them. The four heroes dived for cover and surrounded it. Stronghold attacked first, swinging the sledgehammer at it's ribs. It was a solid hit but the creature didn't seem fazed. It batted Stronghold away, sending him flying through the air and into a wall. Stronghold fell down to the ground.
Chandra tried next and slashed at it's back with the sword. Black blood sprayed onto his suit and the sword but once more the creature barely seemed fazed. It turned and punched him away but Jim caught him and fired on the creature once more, having reloaded with the extra clip. The bullets pierced it's flesh but they didn't seem to do anything to it. The monster swung the sign at him, knocking the gun out of his hand and then ran forward and grabbed Jim by the neck before he could recover and pinning him against the wall. It was about to crush his next when Sally jumped in and driving the sword into it's back. The monster dropped Jim and stood up straighter and flung her off. Sally hit the ground hard, knocking the wind out of her. The creature raised it's foot up and stomped on her, pinning her down. She yelled in pain. The creature was about to smash her with it's giant fist when Stronghold jumped in and swung the sledgehammer right at it's face as hard as he possibly could and actually made the creature back away, blood spraying from it's face. Gritting her teeth, Sally pulled out the daggers she had acquired from the previous battle and jabbed them into it's stomach. The creature kicked her through the air and Stronghold caught her. "You....okay?"
She spit blood out. "Ffff....fine."
Chandra fired at the creature's leg with the last of the bullets as Stronghold and Sally backed away. The creature fell down to one knee and Stronghold swung upwards with the hammer but it caught him with a punch. It grazed him but the punch still hurt like hell.
Jim threw the knives at the creature and Sally jammed the last of her daggers at it. It swung the sign at her but Sally just barely leaped over it and Stronghold blocked it with the hammer, but was still sent skidding several feet backwards. Stronghold ran forward again and slammed the hammer against it's knee and the creature hit his side with it's fist. He yelled in pain and was sent flying through the air. Fortunately though, the creature's knee was smashed now and it couldn't stand. Sally recovered the spare sword and running forward while Jim and Chandra leaped onto it's back to distract it and Sally stabbed the creature in the chest. The creature roared in pain and Jim and Chandra drove the other sword further into it's back and the knives in. It roared and thrashed and flung them through the air off of it. Stronghold flung the hammer at it's head, knocking it down. The creature fell to the ground and Stronghold limped over to it and just hit the monster with a brutal haymaker after haymaker after haymaker until it stopped moving and Stronghold fell down. "Please.....please tell me it's dead." He pleaded silently. Stronghold looked at the others. They were beaten and battered and almost as exhausted as he was. They picked themselves up and the four looked at each other.
"...Good.....work....team." Was all he had the strength to say.
