Daniel hadn’t been able to do much, and it turned out ok when they got to the source of the problem to find it being handled. Malcolm was up again, probably against doctors orders. But then again, when did any of them actually listen to a doctor? They were quite sure they were out of the woods when they noticed the creature was gone. Aw crap.
Elijha mentioned splitting up to look for it, and Daniel was going to agree when they heard the far off scream. Daniel wasn’t sure if it was the thing they were looking for, but it was a damn good start.
“It came from the labs.” He said, waving the group toward the lab as he limped along with the crutches. He wasn’t sure what he was going to be able to do when they confronted the thing, but they would find something out later.
“You, reinforcements, now.” He said to the mercenary who was tagging along. He nodded and started speaking into his radio.

Malcom rushed back towards the labs after he heard the screaming, grabbing a water fire extinguisher on the way. As he got to the door to the room the commotion was coming from he met up with Daniel and Elijah meaning that Rio...
"She's inside with that thing." Malcom pulled the safety pin on his extinguisher. "I've had the other troops seal off the base, only one route through here now and it's a route we can work with."
He kicked in the door, rushing towards the screaming figure and slamming it upside the head with the extinguisher before aimng the nozzle and spraying it with water.
"Get Rio to safety. I've got this." He instructed the guards whilst keeping the pressure on.

Child screamed in pain as she transformed into Beast. She wasn't about to let it's pray get away when it was this close. Beast reached for Rio before he was shoved away. He looked up at Elijha as she stood in front of Rio. He howled in frustration as he watched one of the guards pull Rio to safety. He charged forward only to be blocked by Elijha. As he swung she ducked under his arm and drove her fist up into his chest only to have him drive his elbow down into her back. She stifled a cry and was taken by surprise as he grabbed the back of her neck and threw her through the hidden door. It charged toward the group, but stopped as Malcom sprayed the fire extinguisher. Beast ran through the hidden door slamming Elijha into the wall as it passed by her, and rounded the corner.
Elijha sighed a bit as she pulled herself out of the wall and looked back to Malcom and Daniel. She staggered out of the doorway and leaned up against the wall. “I’m starting to wonder if I even have the virus in my body. I can’t even stop that think.” She sighed a bit as she rubbed the back of her neck. “This is getting a bit tiresome, but on the side note,” she said looking up to Malcom. “What exactly do you have planned?”

“Water hurts it, but we can’t do anything to it with what we have. We need…” Daniel said, stopping and thinking for a moment. “We need the lake!” He said with sudden realization. The lake that had almost been their death. With the ice on top. It was the perfect trap.
“We need to get outside. It’s after Rio, right? We need to get topside, lure it out there.” He said, waving them to follow him. The guards had gotten her back to the med bay, and their Scottish doctor was trying to help her in any way he could.
“Give me her jacket, Doc.” Daniel said. Taking it and draping it over his shoulders, he began walking out.
Sure, he was taller and broader than Rio, but he had the same hair color and skin tone. And to top it off, he was wearing her jacket. From behind, he just might fool the thing. And if it hunted with scent, he had her smell now too.
“Gimme a grenade.” Daniel said to someone. His plan was quite simple to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

"Classic or Flashbang?"
Malcom passed Daniel a bandolier handed to him by one of the mercs as Daniel explained his idea. Getting it right away Mal took out his radio and called up the people he had put in the security room.
"Listen fellas, we're going to need to herd this thing some more so find out where it went and start up the fire supression system. We need it out the.....east door."
Sirens went off as the sprinklers started opening up around the base. Other water tanks emptied into the vents to flush them out. Eventually the base was left with one dry path through it between the group and the exit closest to the lake.
"It's your show from here dog." Malcom grinned as the group got soaked.

Elijha sighed a bit as she watched Daniel run out of the room with the grenade in hand. "That works and all," she said as she looked at Malcom. "But that thing wont step foot out of the cabin. The snow will stop it." She paused in thought and then sighed a bit. "I guess I'll help get it outside." Walking to the door she mumbled slightly "I hate cold weather . . . when does summer get here?" As she headed into the hallway she grabbed her coat because lab caused them to lose all track of time and she didn't know if it was day time. She reached Daniel before he headed outside. "Head to the lake I'll make sure I'll get that thing there. Do what you have to after that." Leaving him she took up a hiding place in one of the rooms.
The loud howl echoed up from the basement indicating that the creature was making it's way up to the cabin. She waited a bit longer and watched as the creature stopped at the door the mercenaries standing behind, but the creature didn't go anywhere. It was just as she thought. Stepping out of her hiding place she sized up the scene a bit. Rushing forward she slammed into the creature shoving him out into the snow. It howled slightly and slammed it's fist into her back knocking her into the ground. Spitting out a mouth full of snow she moved up enough to be able to dive into the creature's knees knocking it to the ground. She climbed to her feet grabbing it's feet, and sliding it across the snow.
With it kicking out it knocked her back causing her to hit the ice and slide across it. Beast climbed to it's feat and roared out in anger as it charged Elijha. As it hit the ice she slammed her fist into the ice causing it to crack. As it spidered out she took off toward the other side of the bank diving for the snow as the ice broke away causing beast to fall into the lake. Child surfaced fighting against the water. Elijha on the other hand crawled to the nearest tree where she sat down and leaned up against. She looked across the lake at Daniel. Everything else was left up to him.

“Now remember, if I fall through the ice, I want you to go. And get a rope. And save my ass.” Daniel said with a slight smirk on his face.
The group was outside in a few moments, Daniel on the ice and waiting. As soon as the thing came bounding out of the base toward the frozen lake, watching the thing as it came at him. It hadn’t wanted to leave the base, so self preservation won out over wanting a target. But, Elijha had made sure it would come out. Now, it was on the ice, and Elijha had made sure to crack it. He didn’t know if she was helping or if she just got lucky while she was trying to get away, but either way, it was in the water. Letting out screams of pain, trying to get out without much luck, Daniel drew his gun. He fired off several shots at it, hoping that water would get into the wounds and hurt it more. When he was out of ammo, he pulled the pin on the grenade and dropped it into the hole.
Now, it was time to get the f**k out of dodge. Doing his best to run on two broken legs and dwindling pain killers, he heard the explosion as he made it to solid ground. He promptly threw himself to the ground to take cover from any shrapnel that might go flying his way.

Malcom caught up with the others after the action had finished, stepping carefully out onto the ice next to Daniel and holding out a hand to pull him up. He held up a pair of thermal goggles and took a quick look under the ice. The large form of the beast was sinking slowly and cooling down fast. The ice might not even take too long to close over again.
"Nice work Danny. You beat the bad guy by ignoring every rule your parents ever taught you about ice skating."
The mercs and medics following waved the two men over to the edge of the lake where Elijah was waiting. The docs gave her a quick checkover before helping her back towards the base.
"Hope you two have had enough adventures for a while. After all that crap the only fire safety we have left is manpower until the pumps refill the water tanks. I'll send a few guys out to the military checkpoints and trade some stuff to keep the drinking water supplied but hooking up a jacuzzi might be out of the question."

With the help of the mercenaries they made their way into the cabin where a warm fire was waiting. She sat down in front of the fire as one of them brought a blanket over and draped it over her shoulders. She wrapped the blanket tightly around her as she moved closer to the fire. "Cold I hate cold . . . Lets try to avoid that for a while," she said as she looked back at the others. "Nice explosion though." She grinned as she looked back toward the fire.
"Well looks like you three had all the fun," Rio called as she came up from the basement.
"You look pretty good for someone who was just unconscious."
"It's a natural responses for the human brain to sound that would damage it. It temporally shuts down in order to block out the sound," she explained.
"My head hurts."
"I bet," Rio laughed as she walked into the kitchen, and returned with a cup of hot water and handed it to Elijha. "Drink this. It should help you warm up quicker." She looked at Malcom and Daniel. "So are you two done blowing up thing? If so we should work on getting this place up to par."
