>>5414803The three men you just tackled don't seem like they're going to get back up immediately... so you decide to deal with the guy shooting at Cylia first.
Before you can do that though, you hear two more men running at you from behind, each coming out of opposite apartments. This was exactly what you were worried about... before you took out the others.
Cylia, for her part, charges at the man firing on her from the doorway. Just before reaching him however, she disables her shield and drops down into a slide, kicking the man's feet out from under him.
She looks like she's got that, so you'll worry about yourself for now. Both men are charging straight at you rather than firing on you, so you assume they have melee weapons as well.
You twist your body to meet them head on, while simultaneously taking a couple steps to the left so that they don't reach you at the same time.
What you see when you turn around is somewhat surprising. Unlike the usual soft, blobby, over-inflated mess that most aliens appear as, these two have some definition.
One of them looks like some kind of... frog... thing? The other is clearly insectoid in nature, and has rather large, meaty-looking claws that seem like they'd really hurt if they got hold of you.
You were planning on just kicking their asses like usual, but now you're not so sure to handle this. Either way, you're out of time to think so you just have to try.
The insectoid-dude reaches you first, and predictably tries to get you with his claws. You duck under his initial grab and gut-check him, but his stomach isn't as soft as you were expecting...
This guys has an exoskeleton! You're gonna have to hit him harder than usual if you want to take him out.
Since your punch effectively did nothing, you follow through by turning it into a hard shove, knocking the insectoid-man back.
At this point, the frog-dude reaches you as well. He reaches out towards you with one hand, so you grab his arm to stop him... oh. Oh no.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" You scream, finding his skin to be disgustingly slick and slimy, like someone blended up an aloe plant and dumped it on him.
Frog-man grins as your iron grip fails, your hand simply sliding off his arm as he glomps onto you, somehow sticking to your body despite how slick he is.
His tongue shoots out of his mouth like a gecko and wraps around your neck, tightening as he tries to choke you. It fails completely as he lacks the strength to do so, but it's <span class="mu-i">so fucking disgusting</span>...
"Eww, eww eww EWW EWW HE'S TOUCHING MEEEEE!!"
Frog-man makes some seriously disturbing chittering noises before spitting a wad of extra-thick goop into your eyes, blinding you.
You can't take this anymore. Positioning frog-man between you and the wall, you slam yourself into the concrete almost hard enough to knock the wind out of yourself.
Unfortunately, you can literally feel this guy squishing out of the way as if his whole fucking body is one giant booger, meaning you take the brunt of it.
