Name's Jim. Housewares.
Unending BE - episode 30100
The minotaur's saliva was definitely acid too, albeit to a lesser degree. Fortunately for Jim, it was also very, very slimy and slippery. He managed to roll free just as the horrible beast smashed its horned head on the floor just about where Jim's throat was half a second before. Jim saw his forearm wound -- he'd rather not have, however,
since his left hand was now kept attached to the rest of his body by just the bone and what was left of the metal armor. He couldn't feel the hand anymore. The adrenalin flow within him was so strong, however, that he only felt a slight hint of pain.
"YOU WILL DIE !!!"
Jim managed to get back on his feet and face the beast again. The weak point, he thought. Got to find the weak point.
The animal quickly turned to the guards and the twins to see all three (four?) of them still in dreamland. Jim darted across the room landing on the guard who didn't get smashed by Mr. Black before, and frantically searched him for some kind of weapon.
Before Jim could reach the Malorian carried by the guard, the monster formerly known as Mr. Black was already charging him again. Jim rolled out of the way and let the minotaur smash its head and fall on the guard. Jim laughed at the beast's stupidity (that charge on a steel wall knocked down both itself and the guard who didn't get KO before, after all) but stopped after a
second or so. The minotaur was rising on its hooves again, hands again full of green acid. On the wall were two very distinct horn marks -- the horns themselves were just slightly dented, if anything.
"Oh, shit."
The minotaur began to chase Jim all over the place until he was completely out of breath. He found himself standing in a corner, panting heavily. The minotaur charged again, possibly for the last time. Knowing that it was over, Jim tried to cover himself as best as he could. The last thing he saw before the impact was his left hand finally falling off as the acid burnt away the last of the bone.
However, what would be a nice closing scene complet with GAME OVER caption was far from over. Jim was very lucky in that his arm's stump was aimed straight in front of him -- and surrounded by the armor's metal, which was very sharp. The monster didn't see Jim's hand giving up and found himself with a bone and some steel in the bollocks. Being a battle-beast designed to withstand five direct
bazooka hits, Mr. Black wouldn't have suffered very much from it if it wasn't for his human instincts taking over.
The minotaur covered its balls with its hands, completely forgetting about the acid.
The really inhuman screams of pure pain that followed were more than enough to wake up Sharon and Sandra, who --having four arms -- didn't have difficulties in taking a guard's super-sized handgun and emptying its clip into Mr. Black's head.
Jim woke up at home, in his bedroom...
