Chapter 10 - File 1.10 - “Warehouse v2”

"You sure it's coming?! Richard!"

"I'm sure! It should be right… above us!!!"

Sawyer has about half a second to look up and dodge out of the way before a large figure comes crashing down on them up from the containers. As containers and pipes began to fall down in front of them, a smoke cloud arose and Sawyer frantically looked around for the cryptid.

The monster in the smoke moved forward at them, but before he could even catch sight of it, Richard swung his axe with great force at the silhouette in front of him. He hits something, though it's tough and isn't staggered much by his impact. The smoke clears, revealing the cryptid.

Indeed, it was shaped like a large bear, though hairless, its dark brown skin a rough texture. Small pimples covered its body and face and its legs were like the prints before - four legs each like a large human hand but with only three fingers.

"Hey, you ugly bastard." Richard mumbles to it as his axe barely scrapes it and he retracts it. A smile, a twisted grimace spread across the Gumberoo's face and below it was a nasty looking patch of hair, like a beard if you could even call it that.

"Richard, watch out!" Sawyer calls out to Richard, who was met with a counter attack from the cryptid. One of its front legs is hurled at Richard's chest, sending him to the side, flinging him into a pile of mops. The Gumberoo then sets its sights on Sawyer, turning to him with the same grimace on its face and rushing at him.

It opens its mouth in an attempt to bite off a chunk of Sawyer, however it clamps its many human - like teeth and bites nothing, as Sawyer jumps out the way, dashing past it and slicing it with his sword. 

Barely a scratch on its skin.

After dashing behind it he instead tries to stab it. The cryptid swiftly turns around flailing its front leg at him. Sawyer's sword stabs into its arm, and once again he's met with his attack causing barely a dent to the thing. 

A gunshot rang out. A bullet from above hit the Gumberoo in the body, stunning the cryptid for a second.
