Drake panted as the two kept running. His partner was right, his legs and chest were burning wanting to rest, wanting to stop, and there was no way they could do this all forever. He noticed on Micheal's small map that the venting system seemed to go in one giant circle and it gave him an idea. "We need to split....ah ahah....up. I'll.....run into the next cross road and lure him ah ah.....you get the vent open while he's distracted." The vent started to come up quickly, and Drake pulled out his rifle. "Here we go!" he rushed down the other vent leaving Michael by himself, but to make sure the creature didn't follow he turned around shooting at the beasts head.
"Hey!Hey! You want me! I'm bigger and more tasty! Come on you ugly piss face!" he yelled firing more pot shots at it hoping he would give Michael enough time to open a vent.

And Drake's plan seemed to work just fine. Michael agreed to it since it only made sense to do this. He didn't feel bad, because he knew he had a job to do, and the quickest he did, the higher their survival rate. He quickly stepped into the direction of the vent and continued running straight for it.
The Worm flinched only for a moment as it became disoriented by the mixture of sounds. Michael's steps became small and insignificant quickly as Drake's shots muffled them. It seemed to be guiding itself by senses other than smell or sight. It was now following Drake into the curve.
Its gaping mouth suddenly parted, and it began to flash, illuminating the pathway briefly, and suddenly a sphere of biomatter was launched in the way of Drake. Contact with it would prove fatal.
In the meantime, Michael grabbed his portable rivet gun and began to take the vent down. "Damnit! It's got so many rivets...!" he cursed, but continued to work on it as fast as he could.

'Oh shit!" Drake said as he ducked in time to see the large sphere of bio-mater fly over his head and strike the side of the vent creating a big hole. It was acid! He cursed to his body telling himself he needed to run, run as fast as he could.
He could hear it roaring, it it gave chased. He could also hear the moans made from the corpses that acted out as feelers for him. The miner suddenly got at idea, and as he got some distance he spun around and aimed for the corpses. "Choke on it!" he shouted pulling the alt fire and launching a grenade right into the chest of the right corpse. The grenade exploding inside it causing pieces of flesh and other fluids to spray all over the vents.

The Worm cried out in pain as one of its feelers burst into pieces by the well placed grenade Drake shot. It squirmed and then suddenly fell to the floor of the vents with a loud crash. The remaining feeler retracted as its huge, grotesque maw remained open, drooling, and with several biomatter spheres dumping out of it. It wasn't moving now, but it wasn't beaten, either way.
Meanwhile, Michael had already taken care of 8 out of 10 rivets from the vent. He yelled, "Drake! One minute! Move it!" he called out.

"Bout time." he yelled running away from the worm. It wasn't dead as he could still hear it taking in air. He rounded the corner as fast as he could seeing Micheal at a vent. "I think it's stunned for now, but don't know how long it will last."

Michael nodded back to Drake as the second-to-last rivet fell off the grate, it was loose enough now. "'kay, last one. It'll be only a minute," he said, and got to work on using his gun to remove it.
Meanwhile, the Worm, with its remaining feeler suddenly starting to flail, began slithering its way through the canal. It was flailing, and it seemed angrier than ever. It already knew where they were! Its second feeler was the first thing to show from the corner before its bulky form began making its way towards them.

"We don't have a minute." Drake groaned cocking the rifle again. "Get it open now or we don't get out of here ever!" he shouted as he aimed taking pot shots at the worm in hopes to slow it down. The bullets hitting it's feelers, but it only seemed to make the thing angry. "Anytime Michael..."

The second feeler flailed and seemed to deflect shots this time. Michael gasped in fear but kept it together and worked as fast as he could. Eventually, a small cringe was heard and the grate fell off the vent, "GO!" he said, jumping out of the hole.
The Worm cried out, angered, and began charging their way. If Drake didn't jump out in time, then he'd be definately crushed into pieces by the giant monstrosity.

"Tramada mo!" Drake shouted jumping down the hole of the vent hearing monster crash into the wall. The sound of bending metal and squishing flesh was all he heard before falling hard onto the floor.
Drake groaned as his knees screamed in pain from the fall. "Join the miners, my dad says. You'll make good pay and rank." he remarked sarcastically as he got to his feet. "Michael you here?" he called out.

Michael coughed and dusted himself off. "That was the biggest AND fastest worm I've ever seen," he lamented, watching blood and gore dripping from the vent they had jumped out of. The Worm was nowhere to be seen, but it had definately knocked itself against the walls hard, to the point of wounding itself and retreating. "...seems we're safe. Drake, are you okay?" he then asked, checking his friend's vitals to see what color the RIG was flashing.
