John-

Today we left for the military. As we snuck in, we chose to go straight towards the briefing room. It wasn't difficult to get past the gate. We scouted enough to find a weak point in their defences. Once in the room we heard the general talking to a small group of commanders.

"Men, we have found the location of the biggest attack yet. At paronamic beach, coming out of the sea, at least 48,000 of them are coming."

"We have had so many casualties already, we must try to prevent any more."

"This attack is so close to this base, we must send all the troops we can to prevent it."

"It starts today at 4:00. We are loosing this war. Have your squadrons ready to leave in one hour. Dismissed."

And then we ran.



Eddie-

We were there when the fighting broke out. Right there on the front lines. Well, me and John at least. Carter was sniping from a nearby mountain top. Chicken.



Carter-

The starting act of the starfish was to send out the first wave. And no, not a line of troops, but a literal wave. When the wave rose out of the sea, it splashed away all the rows in front of them. They were exposed. Giant tsunamis pelted the troops around them. A nemesis that was capable of telekinesis with water? Insane. Next came the first 1,000 starfish riding a giant wave. I had to zoom all the way in, but I got a few with my suit's built in arm lazer. Most of my hits did nothing though, I learned to kill them you'd need a direct hit towards the center or else they'd just regenerate. I discovered several neat features of the suit during the battle. One wrist had rockets attached, and I had at least 3 things strapped to my back. The first of which was a super sniper blaster, much better and more stable for my current set of work. The second was a bow. The third was a rucksack with a large open compartment just for arrows. Curious, I fired a few. Some were normal, some were special. One exploded on impact, another poisoned so the starfish couldn't regrow. One contained a neat device at the tip that sent lightning in twelve directions, and for each starfish it hit, it added another device just like it, creating a chain, then a web, then electrocuted them all. Another arrow contained a web that trapped, stunned, and electrocuted its contents. More useful still, inside the sack I found a grenade that electrocutes the area around it. I missed, but that didn't matter. I hit the wave. It's made of water. Suddenly, the force of a million lightning bolts struck each of the starfish. Issue: I had very few of those.

Next the second part arrived, with 8,000 starfish riding it. We were all too shocked to do anything. The wave hit the ground and all the fish leaped through the air, surrounding and tackling many of the troops. 

A new jet of water containing 20,000 starfish curved around the mountain on both sides, meeting back up on the other side, heading straight for the base. In panic, I ran in circles before falling into a concealed pit, leading into a dark cave...
