"Creature Incursion"
Guest Starring: Robyn Addison
Abby, Connor and Mia had gone to pick up Danny and Harry from the hospital. Before blowing up the ARC, Helen shot them both. Everyone was lived though, and both of them had finally been discharged from the hospital.
Cutter had been overworked by Lester all through the night, and had only just got out of the Home Office, which is the new temporary home for the team. He decided to have a quick orange juice in the pub as he’d ran out at home.
“Want another?”, came a voice from beside him.
“Yeah, OK”, mumbled Cutter.
“I’m Lily, by the way. Lily Nash”, introduced Lily.
“I’m Nick Cutter, but everyone calls me Cutter”, Cutter introduced himself. Lily passed him his drink.
”So, what do you do for a living?”, Lily asked.
“I’m…I’m a professor”, said Cutter, nearly giving everything away about the anomalies, “And you?”.
“I work in Matalan just down town”, Lily replied. Cutter’s phone rang. It was Connor. Connor told him that the anomaly that was detected before the ARC blew up is still there, with creatures roaming London, and they’d only just remembered.
“I’ve got to go, it’s work”, half-lied Cutter.
“Hang on, here’s my number”, Lily stopped Cutter. She wrote it on a piece of paper and put it in Cutter’s pocket. He then left and went to Oxford Street.
For 2 weeks, the team had been almost blind. They’d been too busy dealing with the ARC to even pay attention to the news and creature reports, and Cutter had been overworked so much by Lester that he forgot the incident with the Future Predator. They hadn’t even noticed how deserted London had got in just 2 weeks. Future Predators, Megopterans and Future Mutts were all roaming the streets of London, devouring anything they came across.
Cutter arrived at the anomaly site at the same time as Connor and co. did. Jenny, Claudia, Lloyd, Sarah and Captain Mitchell were last to arrive, and were quite lucky to survive after a Megopteran nearly crashed the car. Connor saved them by shooting it and Captain Mitchell did an emergency stop.
“How are we going to stop it?”, Mia asked.
“I don’t know, but it’s going to take a hell of a lot of work”, replied Cutter. All of a sudden, the anomaly rumbled.
“That’s not done that before”, Danny said, puzzled. All of a sudden, it let out a huge bolt of electricity and sucked all of the creatures in.
“Woah!”, gasped a shocked Lloyd.
“Why didn’t it pull us in?”, wondered Jenny.
“Why don’t we investigate it Connor?”, suggested Sarah. Connor agreed.
“To get the rest of the creatures in, the ones across London, we need to create a big enough shock to pull them all in”, Claudia thought.
“Claudia, you’re a genius!”, Connor praised her, “We need something electrical. Lloyd, see if you can get into that electrical shop and get me something like a TV”. Lloyd did so, and brought it to Connor. The TV reacted with the anomaly, also giving Connor a massive electric shock, nearly killing him, and sent a burst of electricity right round London, pulling all creatures in. But the force was so big, the anomaly sucked itself in and closed up. Connor dropped to the floor. Abby and Mia went to help him.
“Captain Mitchell, you get some soldiers to search all areas of London to be sure they’re all gone”, ordered Danny. Captain Mitchell got right onto it.
They went back to the ARC and were greeted by Lester.
“Next time, pay more attention!”, he scolded them.
Later that day, Cutter arranged to meet again with Lily at the same pub. An hour later, they were both sitting down eating dinner.
“I lied about my job”, blurted out Cutter, purposely, “I’m still a professor, but I work in a place called the ARC, the Anomaly Research Centre. We investigate these rips in time called anomalies. Sometimes prehistoric, or even futuristic, creatures come through and we have to send them back”.
“Interesting. Am I meant to keep this secret?”, wondered Lily.
“Preferably, yeah”, replied Cutter.
