Death's Rise (Plot B)

Result :

The Dune Scorpion inspects Alex's shell. Thinking that he is dead, the Dune Scorpion carefully wraps it's tail around Alex's shell and starts to carry him through the desert.

Alex: *thinks to self* Well, at least it beats walking.

After several minutes, a shiper shot rings out and the Dune Scorpion is hit. The Dune Scorpion dies afterwards and drops Alex's shell.

Alex: Would you mind explaining why you are presumably trying to shoot me?

Sniper: Sorry, but we thought you were some kind of monster.

Alex's eye twitches.
Alex: Is that some crack about how I'm a turtle?

Cloaked Sniper: No, I'm just mearly stating a fact. Freaks like you would kill humans without thinking twice, so I was just protecting myself.

The other cloaked figure sighs. If it weren't for the goggles they were wearing, Alex could see that the sniper was glaring at the other one.

Cloaked Sniper: What's your problem?

Cloaked Figure: *Feminine.* Nothing...

Cloaked Sniper: Whatever... *Turns back to Alex.* So what is a freak like you doing all the way out here in the dunes?

Alex's eye continues twitching.
Alex: Running away from Death himself. And what would you losers be doing?

Cloaked Sniper: Hunting for food. *Turns to the other figure.* Go get the scorpion.

The cloaked figure sighs and retrieves the corpse of the Dune Scorpion. She then drags the Dune Scorpion over to a Jeep parked a few feet away from the group.

Cloaked Sniper: Now if we are done here, we're leaving.

Cloaked Figure: What about him?

Cloaked Sniper: What ABOUT him?

Cloaked Figure: We can't leave him out here!

Cloaked Sniper: Sure we can. We just get inside the Jeep and drive off.

Cloaked Figure: He'll die!

Cloaked Sniper: And I should care... why?
