"Hold up," Matthew said as the squad followed his command.

"What is it," Tom asked as he looked around their surroundings for any problems or activities. There were fewer trees around them as the forest was starting to thin. Tom didn't notice anything wrong but still waited for Matthew to clarify the sudden stop.

Matthew knelt down and touched the ground as he examined it. Kim watched as he poked the soil and noticed how soft it was compared to the normal dirt they've been walking on. Matthew then looked around and finally said, "There's a marsh up ahead."

"How can you tell," Kim asked.

"The soil is getting moist, and the trees are thinning out. Be careful where you step, there could be sink holes or possible quicksand. Stay close and quite." Matthew than proceeded forward. Again, Kim and the rest of the squad followed Matthew as they headed forward. After a few moments Kim noticed how the land was indeed starting to turn into a marsh. The few trees started to become smaller and less scatter around and the soil was becoming more like mud as she felt the ground become more squishy than normal. It wasn't long before they came into a large clearing devoid of trees with only tall grass and other smaller plant life stretching far out into the distance. "Looks like they went this way," Matthew said spotting a very faint outline of a shoe print and some tall grass that looked like it was chopped or knocked down and trying to regrow.

"Did she really cross all this," Kim asked looking upon the endless sea of grass for as far as she could see. She wasn't sure how her sister managed to even make it this far. Especially considering what they all been through in the past couple of days. Hell, she wasn't even sure how Matthew lasted as long as he did when he was stuck here.

"We'll find out soon enough," Matthew remarked as he moved forward.

Kim followed after Matthew as he led the squad through the thick mud and swampy like endowment. The soil started to become more thicker as it grabbed onto Kim's boots. They trudged through the marsh heading forward toward the distance horizon. Kim kept looking left and right for any danger but it seemed like this was the safest place they have been since they arrived. There wasn't a sign of commotion to be found as they continued their march forward. On the horizon Kim could see nothing but grass to the edge of her sight.

"Did Lulu make it across," Kim asked as wondered out loud.

"I don't know," Matthew replied dryly. It almost sounded like he didn't care.

Kim picked up on this and seemed to put her on edge, "What do you know," Kim mumbled. She didn't expect Matthew to hear her.

"What I do know," Matthew replied still not turning around to confront her and continued to move forward. "Your sister moved this way. If she made it to the other side," Matthew said, then pointed forward, "or died in this swamp, I won't know until we find her body."

"She's not dead," Kim shouted defiantly. Kim looked down at the swamp. "I know my sister she's still alive," Kim mumbled again. As long as Kim had hope for her sister, than she was still alive. At least in Kim's mind that was. Truthfully, ever hour longer that they didn't find a sign of her sister the more she started to doubt her own words.

It wasn't long before the trees that were behind them disappeared on the horizon at their backs, leaving only an open field of tall grass and sloshy water that rose up to their sheens. It made walking harder than before as every step was painstakingly harder to take. Every once in a while there was a small river or stream that they would need to cross but other than that, it was all tall grass. Matthew would stop ever so often or point out certain tracks before moving on. As soon as Kim thought that there would be no end to the ocean of grass, there was an object in the distance. She couldn't make out the shape but it looked like a bump on the horizon.

"Is that a mountain up ahead," Tom asked.

"Looks like it," Minnie answered.

"They headed that way," Matthew said as he picked up another track still heading forward. Matthew lead the squad through another small stream that rose up to their legs. Even though they had standard gear on, which was mostly water proof. Their weapons and other supplies were not in such material. It made crossing this larger stream a little more difficult, especially for Matthew's couple of duffle bags. When they crossed the deep stream to the other side, the squad took a quick break and checked their gear.

Kim looked up at the sky and noticed the twin suns were starting their decent, signaling it was past mid day. "Are we going to make it to the mountain in time or should we think about camp?"

Matthew looked to the still distant rocks. "We should be able to make it. I'd feel better if we weren't camped out in this open field at night. Let's eat and then head out in 40," Matthew said as he proceeded to pull out some rations and hand them out to the others.

Kim found a decent rock that gave her a nice seat as she sat down and started to eat. She didn't feel too hungry but knew she needed to eat. However as she ate she couldn't help but remember everyone else that wasn't with them right now. Charlie, Glen, Wesley, and Micky. How many more of them will they lose? Was this all worth it...

"Hey," Matthew said causing Kim to nearly fall off her rock. She looked up to see Matthew standing in front of her while she was zoning out.

"What," Kim asked watching Matthew take a seat near Kim.

"I thought you could tell me something about your sister," Matthew said as he started to eat his rations.

Kim was confused. "Like?"

Matthew just shrugged, "I don't know, maybe what her favorite book is? I mean," Matthew paused for a second, "You do know your sisters favorite book, right?"

Kim didn't know why that remark seemed insulting to her. She couldn't help but sound snippy in her reply, "Of course I do. Advance Quantum Molecular Physics by Lindsey Kame."

Matthew paused his eating at the response. "You serious? Who the hell reads that shit for fun?"

Kim couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. "I know... she's just a big nerd."

"No," Matthew said. "I've been around nerds. This sounds like mad scientist level to me."

Kim smiled, "Well... she does take after our parents. They were both scientist."

"Interesting, and you didn't get into research like them because?"

Kim shrugged as she took another bite of her rations. "I don't know. I just never found it as fascination as they all did. I mean it wasn't like I hated it, I just enjoyed something more..."

"Tangible," Matthew offered.

"Yeah," Kim said agreeing with him.

"I know what you mean, Rebecca... she was a nerd too." Mathew chuckled. "I mean a big nerd. Always sharing her theories or research with me. I could never understand it but," Matthew paused before continuing, "She always got so excited when talking about it that I couldn't tell her I had no idea what she was talking about. I would just nod my head and try my best to act like I knew."

"Yeah..." Kim said completely understanding what Matthew was talking about. Being in a family that was so dedicated to science, she knew exactly what he was talking about. Then something struck her, it was that name. It was the same one she remembered hearing Matthew dream bout. "This Rebecca..."

Matthew paused again as he finished his meal. "She was my wife."

Kim looked shocked. She didn't recall seeing anything about Matthew having a wife or an ex-wife. Kim was about to question it when Matthew stood up and stretched.

"Time to head out," Matthew told everyone. He then offered a hand to help Kim up off the rock she was sitting on. "Anytime you are second guessing yourself about this mission. Just recall something about your sister, and let me know."

Kim stunned, how did he know she was doubting the mission? Was he able to read her that easily?

"I... um ok," Kim said as she took his hand and got up off the rock she was sitting on. Once everyone grabbed their gear they all continued their march forward toward the mountain in the distance.

They were a lot closer now the large mountain. As they got closer to the mountain some of the rocky features were presented to them, instead of just one giant rock it looked like a mountain range. As the squad pressed on further toward the large rocky mass Kim spotted some ominous looking clouds up ahead.

"Looks like it's going to rain soon," Becky stated.

"Thanks for the obvious point," Jack retorted. This got him a killer look from Becky.

Minnie spoke up next, "The rain... the rain isn't dangerous, right?"

"What, you think it rains acid here," Jack joked as he chuckled for a brief moment waiting for Matthew to correct him. Jack's hummer died when Matthew didn't comment. "It doesn't ... does it?" Jack asked now starting feel a sense of dread.

"Acid rain? Don't be silly," Matthew finally spoke up.

Jack let out a sigh of relief at the simple silly idea of acid rain. That was until Becky slapped him on the shoulder with enough force that he winced. "Were you worried," She asked grinning at him.

"Shut up," Jack replied.

Kim hoped the clouds would disperse but as they got closer it seemed the dark clouds got darker and larger. Luckily the clouds didn't seem to be moving very fast at all. They should easily be able to reach the mountains and find shelter before it started to rain.

They were getting closer and closer to the first rocky ground in quite a while, which Kim couldn't be happier. She was getting tired of the mud and always shifting ground they been walking on all day. Suddenly there was a large crackling sound as the sound of thunder was heard behind everyone.

Matthew turned around and looked at the noise. "Shit. We need to run." Kim looked back thinking she was going to see some monster heading toward them but to her relief it wasn't anything. That was until she noticed the horrifying looking storm front behind them all. It looked absolutely terrifying as the dark cast of clouds were moving pretty fast toward them from behind. There was a large lightning bolt arcing across the sky as some hit the ground way off in the distance. The thunderous noise returned as the sound of the lightening strike caught up to them.

"We're going to get caught up in this storm," Matthew said as he tried to hurry everyone along.

"It's just some rain," Kim started to say even though she felt a since of dread at the two storm fronts coming to collide with them stuck in-between.

"Not just some rain. This is a major storm. I'm talking about 40 inches of rain in an hour. This entire wetland is going to become a massive flood."

As if the storm wanted to prove Matthew right, a giant gust of wind came rushing past them as the storm clouds in front of them started to pick up speed from the sudden change in air pressure. The wind was so strong that Kim thought she felt herself get pushed back a little.

"We need shelter now!" Matthew shouted over the raging wind. "Toward the mountain," Matthew shouted again as they picked up their pace to get to the safety of the high ground with the large massive rocks. Just as they got close to the mountain the ground started to become more stable and rocky then the soft mud they been trudging through for the past couple of hours. This allowed everyone to move quicker. Kim felt the first droplet of water land on her head causing her to look up. Both large storm fronts collided with each other blocking out any light from the suns that were in the sky earlier, covering everything in darkness.

"Quick," Matthew shouted again as he pulled out some rope and started to attach it to himself. He handed the other end to Kim to tie herself to. It didn't take long before they all reached the foot of the mountain. By then the rain started to increase from just a few drops to a few more. Soon, as they continued their climb up the rocks searching for shelter, the rain jumped from just a few drops a second to a down pour. Kim grabbed onto a stable rock hold, as she pulled herself up off the ground and onto the rocky surface. The rain didn't let up as it increased to the point where Kim couldn't even see Matthew in front of her. Kim felt her foot slip on one of the slippery rocks. She quickly recovered from the stumble and grabbed another wet rock. It was a close one. Kim couldn't help but look down where she would have fallen down and gasped. Where there used to be the grass on the ground they were just on a few minutes ago, there already seemed to be a foot of water already. Matthew wasn't wrong when he said that there would be a flood.

"Stay close and watch your step," Matthew shouted over the rain as he continued to try and find a safe place from the weather.

Kim double checked her rope just to make sure if she did slip again she was secure. They continued their climb up in the hurricane like weather. Kim wasn't sure where they were going to find shelter from these strong rains and winds. The mountain seemed bare, with no place to take cover.

Suddenly there was a strong gust of wind that caused everyone to hunker down till the wind stop blowing as hard. "We need to find somewhere safe from all this wind and rain," Tom shouted over the wind and rain.

Kim agreed as Matthew tried to spot somewhere safe, but it was nearly impossible to see through the storm. Suddenly there was a flash of lightening in the distance that lit up the dark. Kim was able to see out in the distance and couldn't help but gasp at the sight. The sea of grass was no where to be found, it was replaced by what looked like a raging ocean that flooded the entire ground.

"There's a cave just a little further," Matthew shouted to everyone as he urged everyone to continue their journey. As Matthew lead everyone further up the mountain they came to a siding on the mountain that looked to drop all the way down to the raging waters below.

"Where's the cave," Kim asked looking around.

"It's just a little climb down," Matthew told everyone.

"Climb? Down there," Kim asked pointing toward the sound of crashing waves against rocks.

"Watch your footholds," Matthew told them as he started to climb down the side of the cliff.

"This is insane," Jack shouted over the winds. Almost if on cue the wind picked up even more threaten to toss them off the cliff.

"Just follow him," Tom shouted as he urged the rest of the squad to climb down.

Kim did her best to follow Matthew as he was already a good distance ahead. This was definitely insane, scaling a mountain in this storm was suicide. The sounds of waves grew louder as Kim headed down the rocky terrain in hopes to find shelter from the hazardous weather. Finally, she felt a soft tug and heard Matthew shouting into the storm, "This way." Kim followed the direction of the rope as she felt a hand help her climb up onto a flat surface as the rain suddenly was blocked out. "Keep going forward," Matthew told her. Kim followed the wall that she was touching and found a gaping hole in the side roughly her size as she squeezed inside and waited for the others. It wasn't long before the others joined her in the dark cave.

"What's that smell," Jack asked sniffing the air.

Kim didn't notice it until Jack said something. It did reek in here. It smelled kind of rotten or sulfurous, a disgusting smell.

"Did something die in here," Kim asked.

"You don't want to know," Matthew said pulling out a device that looked like an orb. Turning it on it gave off a nice warm light that filled the cave with light. Kim was able to look around and noticed how large the cavern was. The walls around them gave them just enough room to sit across from each other and have a little leg room as the walls arched upward to the ceiling above. Looking deeper, the cave seemed to go on as the light couldn't reach the back of the cave and died out giving Kim an uncomfortable feeling about what could be hidden further in the dark.

"Are we safe here," Kim asked wondering if whatever that smell was, came from something living or was dead.

"Safer here, than out there," Matthew said.

Kim looked to the small round opening that they crawled through and into the ragging storm. The sound of the hollowing wind only seemed to pick up as the rain increased to the point that there was a waterfall coming off the cliff side.

"At least it's warm in here," Tom offered as he sat down near the light, "We should explore the rest of the cave to be safe."

Matthew shook his head no, "We'll be fine as long as we stay close to the entrance." Tom was going to argue but figured it was best to listen.

"How long is it going to rain," Kim asked Matthew.

"I don't know. Could be days, or a few hours."

Becky and Jack took a seat nearby as they seemed to try and get comfortable up against the curved wall. "It smells so bad in here," Jack complained again.

"Shut up," Becky replied as she held onto her gun and looked into the dark end of the tunnel.

"Can I get that bag," Matthew asked pointing to one of his duffle bags that Kim was carrying. Kim grabbed it and handed it over to Matthew. "Thanks." Matthew opened the bag and rummaged round until he found a small box that he was looking for.

"What's that for," Kim asked. Before he answered her, Matthew used his left hand to open the box to show it held some tools and mechanical gear.

"For my arm," Matthew said as he proceeded to detach his right arm.

"It's a fake," Kim asked shocked. Matthew proceeded to use various tools in the box to tinker with his arm.

"Yeah, it works most of the time but, sometimes when it's in water long enough it can get a little buggy."

"I didn't know you lost your arm," Kim said.

"Why didn't you regrow your arm," Tom asked curious. Like most people who are born without a limb or lost a limb due to whatever reason, the medical bays on the space station could regrow and reattach limbs. Most people would choose to do so rather than have a mechanical one like the one Matthew had.

Matthew paused at the question, "Because, I made a promise to myself. I wouldn't replace the arm I lost until I got my revenge."

"Revenge for what," Jack asked.

"My wife, Rebecca."

"You mentioned your wife earlier," Kim said recalling their quick conversation that day. "What happened to her?"

Matthew paused his repairs on his arm. He started to recall that horrible time that he and his wife were left on this planet trying to survive.

Years ago...

"Hurry up Matt," Rebecca called out for Matthew.

"I'm coming," Matthew shouted as he grabbed some of Rebecca's equipment from the research ship and brought it out to her. "Here you go," Matthew said placing the large device that he had no idea what it did on the ground.

"Not there over there," Rebecca laughed as she pointed where she needed it.

"Now you tell me," Matthew grumbled as he picked up the heavy device and moved it. "What is this for anyway?"

Rebecca shook her head no, "I told you I'm not allowed to tell you."

"Oh come on Honey," Matthew huffed. Rebecca shook her head again and kissed him.

"Government secrets and stuff. You know the deal."

Matthew rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just make sure you hurry up, we need to be off the surface in the next 30 minutes at the latest. We've been here a little too long for comfort."

"Will do sweetie," Rebecca said. "Ron, how's the schematics looking."

"Almost done another 10 minutes," Ron, another scientist replied.

"Good, as soon as your done let's start loading the ship up for takeoff."

Matthew looked around the open field and to the tree line that was about 100 yards away. Everything seemed fine. Matthew couldn't help but smile as he looked back to Rebecca who was busy working to notice him. She was just starting to show some signs of pregnancy. He could still recall Rebecca telling him that she was pregnant and that he was going to be a father. He couldn't be happier.

"Almost done," another scientist told everyone as he was still collecting data that was being produced by the research equipment.

The sooner the better. Matthew didn't want to sound like a pain but this wasn't the safest place to be conducting research for the government. There were 4 research assistance, Rebecca, and then Matt. A crew of 6 trying to collect information about something that Matthew didn't know, nor did he care. He was getting paid.

"Ok done," Ron told Rebecca. "I just got to-"

There was a loud snapping of tree branches in the distance. Something was close by.

"Shhh," Matthew said as pulled out his weapon. "Everyone get back on the ship."

"But the gear-" Rebecca started to say.

"Now," Matthew told them.

Ron was the first one to make it to the ship. Just as he was about to head to the cockpit to start up the ship something was thrown through the air.

"Look out," Matthew shouted. It was too late for Ron as a large boulder came slamming down and crushing the ship and Ron together. "Quick to the trees," Matthew shouted for everyone else to quickly run toward the safety of the trees as more rocks were being tossed through the air. Luckily, they made it to the tree line but any equipment they had was flattened by the hail of rocks.

"The research," one of the scientist said in disbelief.

"What do we do now Matt," Rebecca asked scared as she looked at the disastrous scene.

"We..." Matthew started to say as the worse possible scenario ran through his head. "We survive. The research was going to take 3 weeks. The government will know something was up when we don't return in 4, so that gives us 2 more weeks until they send a rescue party. We just have to last that long and we will be fine," Matthew said trying to reassure everyone, including himself.

5 weeks later

Matthew carried back a couple of small animals he had been hunting since that morning. It had been too long since they were stranded on this planet. The only survivors left were Rebecca and himself. Everyone else met grisly deaths from the dangers of this twisted planet. The only upside to lasting so long is that Matthew was starting to get the hang of the ways of the planet. Like how to hunt the wildlife or where certain areas that were home to dangerous Giantess. He also learned where some of the safest places were to hide from most the Giantess on his planet. All except for one. That purple one...

She was unique. She was smarter than most of the Giantess that Matthew escaped from. In fact, she had been tracking them for at least a week ago or longer. Luckily, he lost her a couple days ago when he and Rebecca slipped past her when she was sleeping at night. He wasn't sure how long it will take for the rescue to arrive but Matthew swore on his life he would keep Rebecca safe.

Arriving at the small camp that he and Rebecca were using for the day, Matthew tossed the animals near the campfire.

"Got dinner," Matthew said.

"Thank goodness, I thought you were..." Rebecca said sounding very worried.

"I wasn't gone that long," Matthew told her trying to calm her nerves down.

"Yes, you were," Rebecca angerly replied.

"Sorry," Matthew said trying to calm her down. "Next time, I'll take you with me, ok?"

"I just get a bad feeling anytime you're gone too long," Rebecca said trying to get Matthew to understand.

Matthew let out a defeated sigh, "I know but I have to hunt, there isn't a lot of plant life we can eat here, and our supplies ran out a long time ago."

"But-" Rebecca started to say but stopped. "If something were to happen to you then you'll leave both of us alone," She said touching her now more noticeable belly. "I don't think I could last without you."

"That won't happen," Matthew told her. "I wouldn't ever let that happen."

Rebecca nodded as she picked up one of the animals and started to help clean it like Matthew did with the other one. As they prepared their food she asked, "Do you think help is on its way."

"Of course." Matthew lied. He wasn't sure how long or if anyone was coming to help them.

"I felt her move today," Rebecca told Matthew out of the blue.

"You did? When," Matthew said excited about the news of his daughter.

"A couple of hours ago before you got back."

"And I missed it," Matthew said sounding disappointed.

"You'll get your chance," Rebecca smiled. "Ok done," Rebecca said finished with the food. Matthew cooked both animals and saved one of them for later, as he and Rebecca shared the other. It wasn't long before it was close to night time.

"We should head to bed to get an early start tomorrow. We'll be able to cover some distance from her," Matthew said referring to the purple Giantess. Matthew cleaned up their camp to make sure they didn't leave any trace of themselves to be tracked by the monster. Then Matthew helped Rebecca up into a nearby tree and followed up after her. This would keep them out of the reaches of any animals or Giantess looking for small things to eat.

"I love you," Rebecca said as Matthew made sure they were safe and started to close his eyes.

"I love you," Matthew replied as he gave her a kiss goodnight. It wasn't long before they were both asleep.

Matthew was woken up by a frightening feeling like he was being watched. As soon as his eyes opened he was greeted by an enormous purple face that was staring right at him. They been found.

"Rebecca," Matthew quietly said trying to wake up his wife. "Honey," He continued to talk as he kept his eyes on the enormous face that was in front of them. He was afraid any sudden movement might cause the Giantess to react.

Rebecca slowly opened her eyes.

"Don't move," Matthew said just as Rebecca looked at the same gigantic face.

"W-w-what do we do," Rebecca asked terrified at their predicament.

"When I say, climb down. I'll distract it."

"What," Rebecca asked scared at what he had in mind.

"Trust me. Head east, I'll catch up."

Rebecca was about to argue with him but it was too late Matthew was already pulling out his hunting knife as he prepared to do something stupid.

"Go!" Matthew shouted as he went for the Giantess head on.

To Matthew's horror he watched as the Giantess move away and head toward Rebecca who was trying to climb down the tree. "NO! Look at me!" Matthew shouted trying to get the Giantess attention back on him, but she wasn't distracted by Matthew.

It didn't take the Giantess long to snatch up Rebecca from the tree.

"Let me go," Rebecca yelled to the Giantess that didn't listen. Matthew felt his blood freeze as he watched the purple Giantess bring Rebecca up to her mouth.

"I thought I lost you two," the Purple monster said out loud.

Matthew froze in place and gapped at the perfect human langue she was speaking.

"You... you can speak," Rebecca asked just as stunned as Matthew. It was a talking Giantess.

The Giantess just shrugged nonchalantly, "Yeah, although I haven't meet anyone else like me. This is weird."

"W-w-what's weird," Rebecca asked.

"Talking to your food," The Giantess said as she brought Rebecca closer.

"Stop!" Matthew shouted.

Finally, the Giantess turned her head toward Matthew, "How about you come down from there and I promise not to eat her."

Matthew didn't know what to say until the Giantess moved Rebecca a little closer to that smirking mouth of hers.

"Wait!" Matthew said as he quickly jumped down from branch to branch. "There I'm down. Please let her go."

The Giantess didn't say anything as she proceeded to sit down and then lay on her side looking at Matthew and Rebecca, who was still trapped in her hand. "This is so fascinating. I thought I lost you two, but then I smelled smoke and then to my wonderful surprise there you two are. Sitting in a tree just in front of me. What joy," The purple titan said giddily.

"Please, I came down from the tree, just... just don't hurt her," Matthew said trying to get the Giantess to let his wife go.

"But where's the fun in that," The Giantess asked sounding disappointed.

"What do you want," Matthew said upset that the monster was playing around with them.

"Do you know how boring it is not to have anyone to talk with, even if it just food," The Giantess said smiling at Matthew and then looking to Rebecca. "I want to play a game. I promise that I'll let you both go if you win."

"Game?" Rebecca asked scared at what that meant.

"Mmmhm, you look like a strong morsel," The Giantess said to Matthew. "I'll give you a chance to save this one," she held Rebecca close to Matthew just enough that Matthew could almost reach out and grab her hand. "I'm going to swallow her whole." The Giantess started to bring Rebecca who was starting to panic at the word swallow. "And you have to save her." The Giantess laid down on her back.

"Wait, wait don't," Matthew said but the Giantess held Rebecca close to her purple lips and dangled her above her mouth.

"Annnnnnnd start," The Giantess said with glee as she opened her hand and let Rebecca fall through the air and land on the awaiting tongue that was about the same size as her.

"NO!" Matthew shouted as he sprinted toward the Giantess and quickly jumped up on her skin and tried to climb her.

"Better hurry," The Giantess said as she tried to work her tongue to get the fighting women in her mouth to slide down her throat.

"MATTT," Rebecca screamed for help as the enormous tongue was succeeding in its attempt.

Matthew grabbed the fleshy skin as he hauled himself up the side of the Giantess and onto her stomach. As Matthew made his way up the side of the stomach and on top of it, Matthew turned toward Rebecca. He looked up the body and between the enormous breast that were out in the open he could see his wife's hands trying to hold onto the purple lips as she was being sucked on. Matthew wasted no time as he ran again on the wobbly fleshy ground as he attempted to reach his wife before she was swallowed whole. There was the sound of moaning as the Giantess was taking pleasure in the women she was tasting with her mouth. With food in her mouth she said, "Taste soooo good."

"Hang on," Matthew shouted as he ran between the 2 mountains that were in his way. He quickly jumped up toward the Giantess face and stood just at the top of her mouth.

"HELP," Rebecca screamed as her hands slipped from the lips of the Giantess and the tongue started to direct her down into the open throat that was awaiting her. Matthew could see the awaiting gaping hole below Rebecca wanting to snatch her up.

"NO," Matthew shouted as he dove forward and reached out and grabbed her arm with his. "I got you," Matthew said as he tried to pull Rebecca up but found it hard to hold onto her with one hand. The enormous tongue started to wiggle around. It jutted out and poked Matthew in the face as it tried to separate him from Rebecca. "Damn you," Matthew growled from the strain of trying to keep his wife from being eaten while an enormous slimy snake assaulted him.

The Giantess giggled as she again tried to talk with her mouth full, "Don't let go..."

"Damn it," Matthew shouted again as he fell forward and half his body was pulled into the mouth. Matthew had to use his other hand to hold onto the Giantess' upper lip as he pulled himself out of the mouth. "Almost," Matthew huffed as he slowly pulled his right arm out of the Giantess's mouth. "Just a little more," He said as he was about to extract his entire arm with his wife attached to it. "I got you," Matthew said.

"Hurry," Rebecca said. "I don't know how much longer I can hold-"

That was the last thing Matthew ever heard from his wife as the mouth he was on, suddenly snapped shut cutting off his right arm and sealing his wife away. Matthew flew back from the sudden loss of weight and fell down on the Giantess throat. Matthew was too shocked to feel any pain as he got to witness a large wiggling bulge work its way down the giant purple throat of the Giantess. He could hear muffled screams as the bulge quickly disappeared.

"REBECCA!" Matthew yelled as he witnessed his wife disappear past the throat of the giantess and to her stomach. "Nooooooo," Matthew wept as he started to try and punch his way to his wife through the purple skin beneath him. Matthew felt the blood leaking from his right arm as he now noticed it was missing too.

"So close," the giantess said with humor in her voice. "All well." Next thing Matthew knew he felt his leg get grabbed and pulled out from beneath him. "Time to join her," The Giantess taunted as she brought Matthew up to her face. Matthew suddenly felt his vision dim either from shock or blood loss. The Giantess watched as the man in her hand suddenly stop fighting. "Did you die? Oh, come one, it's just a hand." She waved the still body in her hand, trying to get it to move or responded. The Giantess brought he person closer to her eye to inspect to make sure that it was really dead.

Matthew came to and on pure instinct, and lashed out. Without thinking he used his left hand to grab his knife and slice at whatever was near him. He felt the blade collide with something and suddenly he was dropped down with a roar from the Giantess in pain.

"MY EYE!" Roared the Giantess.

Matthew must have sliced her eye when she was inspecting him. Matthew got up to his feet after landing on the ground. Matthew watched the Giantess rolling around covering her left eyes as she screamed and had blood coming from it.

"GAHHHHH," she kept screaming in pain.

Matthew's thoughts were in a blur as his survival instincts kicked in. He stumbled away from the monster rolling in pain. Grabbing at his shirt he quickly ripped it off and made a tourniquet. Matthew stumbled through the woods blacking out every once in a while. At some point the screaming vanished. Matthew came too and felt cold and tired. He tried to reach up and rub his head when he realized he didn't have a right hand to do that. Suddenly the events hit him as he recalled it all.

"nooo," Matthew cried as she realized he lost everything. His arm, his child, and his wife. Matthew could do nothing as he wept there waiting to die.

Kim couldn't help but feel for him. "What happened after that?"

Matthew reattached his arm. "It was 3 weeks later that I stumbled across other humans surveying the planet. They took me back home and the government grabbed me before I even took two steps off their craft. They wanted a full report and make sure I stayed silent. I thought about telling the public about the planet but..."

"You would never have been able to get a word out," Tom said.

"Exactly. I couldn't' fight them on it. So, I took the money and kept silent. I was going to get a new arm but..." Matthew paused. "I swore I wouldn't until I killed that monster for what it took from me."

"I didn't know," Kim said as she now understood Matthew more.

"So that's why you took this job," Jack said. "Revenge."

Matthew nodded, "Figured I would use you all as much as you were using me. Seems only fair."

No one seemed to judge him for that thought. "I just don't understand why the government would cover it up," Becky said.

Matthew shrugged, "I figured that if people know the truth about this place, they wouldn't be able to get people to survey the planet. Although why they want to study the planet so much, I can't say."

"About that," Kim said as she decided it was best to tell everyone. "My sister, she... she told me she found some ... Alphanium."

"What," Everyone asked shocked.

"How much," Jack asked.

"She wasn't sure but... a lot," Kim told them.

"No way..." Jack said astonished at the news. "That'll make us so rich!"

"Not if the government seizes it," Kim told him. "I'm guessing they plan to extract it after getting the location from Lulu after we rescue her."

"So..." Matthew said sounding upset. "Rebecca died for some fucking rocks?"

"Are you kidding me," Jack said trying to defend the government's reasoning. "Alphanium is the most needed mineral in existing. Without it, do you think the space station you call home would still be able to operate? There's a reason why we need that mineral more than anything else. If that means we need to sacrifice a handful of people every once in a while, then I say go ahead."

Tom barely had time to grab Matthew, as he went for Jake.

"You little shit! That's my wife your talking about!" Matthew went to reach for his gun.

"Stop," Kim said grabbing his arm and keeping him from pulling it on Jake.

Jake on the other hand didn't think Matthew would go for him. He quickly scrambled away from Matthew and deeper into the cave's depths.

"Calm down, he didn't mean it like that," Kim tried to ease Matthew down.

"Bullshit. Anyone who is willing to throw people's lives away for some fucking money or power deserves to die," Matthew spat toward Jake.

"Don't act like you wouldn't, you already said you that you let the government pay you off for your wife's death," Jake yelled back at Matthew.

"Shut up," Kim yelled at Jake. "You're not helping."

Kim looked back at Matthew. That last comment must have hit home because Matthew went limp against Tom and Kim. He stopped fighting.

"Matt," Kim called out to the now complacent person.

Matthew pulled away from Tom and Kim and sat down still looking distant. "You think I don't know that. I can't forget the fact that I let them wipe Rebecca from existence. She doesn't even show up on the manifest for the residence. She ... all her work was seized by the government. It's like she doesn't even exist, and I didn't even fight it."

"Matthew," Kim tried again, but Matthew just shrugged her off.

"Don't," He said. "Leave me be."

Kim didn't want to but... the way he was now, it was best to do as he said. Doing as he wished, Kim backed off and left Matthew alone. She instead went over to Jake and took him to the side.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What," Jake asked seeming confused.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with him?"

Again, Jake replied, "What? I just told him what I thought."

"Yeah, how his wife deserved to die."

Jake tried to look away, "That wasn't what I meant."

"It sure sounded like it. Do everyone a favor, and keep your opinions to yourself." With that Kim left Jake and headed toward Matthew to see if he was doing any better. He still was secluded from everyone as he kept his head between his knees trying to forget about the world.

It was awkward in the cave as the tension didn't go away. Hours passed by and no one said anything while the storm ragged on in the background. Kim looked outside at the darkness and could just make out the rain that was coming down as hard as ever. They were still stuck.

Out of the blue, Jake was the first to talk, "God it fucking smells in here!" Jake stood up from his seat. "What is making that smell," He grumbled as he started to walk deeper in the cave.

"Matt said don't," Kim told him. "We should listen."

"Really," Jake replied sounding mad. "Why shouldn't we? We have no idea what could be down there. For all we know it could be something dangerous. I saw we look. Besides we might find what's making that damn smell," Jake turned to the wall and kicked it, "We might be able to get ride of the stench," he shouted as he gave the tunnel walls another kick.

Kim was going to say something when she felt a deep rumble. It felt like an earthquake.

Matthew finally lifted his head, "What did you do," He asked looking worried.

"What," Jake replied confused at what was happen.

Kim was going to say something when she looked outside of the cave into the storm. She saw something in the distance she couldn't make out in the storm that was approaching fast. Before she could realize what it was Matthew got up and shouted, "Run!"

"What is it," Kim asked as she still tried to recognize the large object outside. Matthew grabbed her and started to pull her further into the cave. It wasn't long before she realized to her horror how big the object was. It was a large object, about the same size as the tunnel they were in. She didn't know what it was as it approached but as soon as it came close enough that it was at the entrance of the cave was when she realized what the shape was. It was like an enormous log. No it wasn't a log, it was a finger. A finger that belonged to something very much larger. It was only when the large finger started to enter the cave that Kim realized where they were. It suddenly dawned on her why the mountain looked weird and almost recognizable. She thought she was thinking it looked like someone was laying down on their side. It wasn't until now that she realized what it really was. Kim turned to Matthew who was still pulling Kim along with him and asked, "Are we..."

"Yeah," Matthew said as he did his best to escape the now approaching finger.

"What the hell," Jake yelled up ahead, "What is going on."

Kim swallowed as everything made sense. Why the smell that wouldn't go away, the cramped but hot surroundings, and the walls and floor they were surrounded by. She realized why nothing felt completely firm and hard like rocks. She spoke up, "We're inside it's ass."

"What," Jake yelled back to Kim.

"We're up a fucking ass," Kim yelled back to Jake as the enormous digit seemed to dig deeper trying to catch them. Jake must have stimulated the walls and woke up the titanic Giantess, who was just trying to get ride of an itch in her ass. The finger kept burrowing deeper as it tried to scratch whatever itch that they created. Kim stumbled and couldn't help but look back as the big digit approached them at an alarming speed. The finger was filling up whatever space that was in the cave, or to be exact the colon of the Giantess. It was catching up. "oh god," Kim whispered before Matthew picked her up.

"Keep running," Matthew told her giving her a shove forward. She didn't need to be told twice as she tried to pick up her speed.

"How deep do we need to go," Tom asked obviously not able to wrap his head around what was transpiring.

"Until she can't reach us," Matthew said as he stumbled over a fold in the floor.

Kim could feel the temperature rising as they went what felt like miles deeper into the intestines of the enormous Giantess. Finally, Kim looked back and noticed the finger starting to slow down it's chase. It finally stopped, giving everyone a breather as it stopped and wiggled a little unable to move forward.

"Oh god," Kim replied as she tried to catch her breath. She didn't know how deep they went. All she knew was that they weren't anywhere close to the exit.

"What is this shit," Jake asked.

Matthew took the light that was on his belt and moved it toward Jake. When they approached Jake, they could see clearly what he stepped in.

"Shit," Tom said.

"Literally," Becky replied.

"Oh god," Jake said trying to get his foot out of the mound of sludge he was in. "Disgusting," He commented as he yanked his leg out of the smelly waste. "Are we really..." Jake asked not finishing his question.

"It was the only thing close by."

"Are you kidding," Jake said. "You intentionally lead us up a giant ass."

"Where else did you want to go? Last thing I recall, we were in the middle of nowhere. This was the safest place around. If it weren't for this shelter we would have washed away with the rain."

Jake was going to say something but stopped himself.

"Jesus, now we know what that smell was," Minnie replied trying to not breath through her noise.

"Knowing doesn't help the fact that it still stinks," Becky commented taking a step back from Jake who reeked with the smell of the Giantess's waste.

"Now you know why I told you not to go looking for the smell," Matthew said.

"You could have at least told us where we were," Kim said feeling upset at the lack of information Matthew gave them.

"How would that have helped," Matthew asked.

"I wouldn't have agitated the fucking monster we're residing in right now," Jake told him.

"How does this help us now," Kim asked.

Before Matthew or Jake could responds Minnie started to cough, "Is it getting harder to breath," She asked.

"Now that you mention it," Matthew said he took turned toward the direction they just came from and shined the light in that direction. To everyone's horror they spotted the giant finger still there in place, blocking their path.

"Why is it still there," Becky asked out loud.

Matthew didn't have a response as he looked at the large digit that stayed unmoving. It wasn't long before the air started to turn stale and the smell started to build up. For whatever reason the finger wasn't going to move and without fresh air getting to them, the toxic gasses would build up.

Minnie started to cough. "We can't stay here much longer."

"What do we do," Becky asked as she too was starting to feel the effects of the lack of air. No sooner did Becky asked this was there a groan deeper inside the depths of the intestines they were inside. It sounded like something was making its way toward them as everything vibrated slightly. Whatever it was it couldn't be good.

"What was that," Tom asked.

"This isn't good," Matthew responded.

Matthew didn't have any idea what to do as he looked at the large finger plugging up their only escape route from the depths of the cave. With it blocking them in they would soon find out what that sound was. Suddenly Matthew thought of something, a one in a million chance of getting free. "I might have a plan," Matthew said as he approached the finger that wouldn't budge.

"What," Kim asked coughing from lack of air. "What," Kim coughed again, "Do you plan to do?"

Matthew pulled out his knife from his belt. "I don't know if this will work. Just get ready to run." Matthew headed toward the finger. As he approached the finger, it started to wiggled as if it sensed his arrival. "Everyone ready?" The sound of gurgling echoed toward them, this time it sounded closer.

"Do it," Tom said as everyone was nearby waiting for the outcome. They didn't have much time.

Matthew didn't wait any longer as he plunged his blade into the finger. No sooner did the blade pierce the skin of the fingertip did a loud sharp gasp vibrate the chamber they were in. Suddenly with an alarming speed did the large digit start to move. Matthew almost didn't have time to pull his blade out of the enormous finger as it slide backwards as it was retracted from the colon they were in.

"Let's go," Matthew shouted as he and the rest of the squad moved forward running after the finger that was retreating at an alarming speed.

"I can't believe this worked," Jake said as they all sprinted forward.

Suddenly there was a noise behind Matthew as he did a quick turn to see what it was.

"Keep going," Tom shouted as he tripped over something and was laying down. "I'll catch up, just go!"

Matthew paused for a split second but followed Tom's order as he continued his run toward. Matthew watched as the enormous finger retracted out of the anus leaving a large gaping hole open allowing him to see outside. The rain was already starting to diminish. They were lucky as most of the storm was over.

"Don't wait, climb down as fast as you can," Matthew shouted to everyone as they approached the opening. As they all crossed the exit from the insides of the Giantess, they quickly started to climb down the skin of the Giantess and down toward the soaked ground below.

"Where's Tom," Kim asked as she noticed he was the only one not with them.

"He's-" Matthew started to say when there was a rumbling above them. Matthew watched in horror as the cliff, or to be more precious the Giantess's butt cheeks, started to move a little bit. "Everyone hold on!" Matthew shouted as he realized what was happening. She was about to fart.

No sooner did Matthew realize this did a loud sound fill the air and a huge blast of air exploded out of the cavern they were just in. Matthew watched as the enormous butt vibrated and shook them as it propelled toxic gas into the air and whatever else that was in the colon with them, including Tom. Matthew prayed that Tom didn't suffer as in a flash something that Matthew could only assume was Tom's body went flying at supersonic speeds and vanished into the dark sky as the Giantess empty her gut of all the gas built up in it. It took a couple of more seconds as the vibration of the fart slowed down to a stop and the Giantess stop blasting her fumes into the air.

Matthew couldn't hear anything for the next few moments but he could read Kim's lips as she kept shouting where Tom was. When Matthew could hear again he could hear how worried Kim was over Tom's safety.

"He's gone," Matthew shouted over his still ringing ears.

"What?!"

"Tom is dead," Matthew shouted louder so she could hear him.

Kim mouthed no, but Matthew was sure she said it out loud and he couldn't hear it.

"We need to keep moving, she's still active," Matthew shouted as he pointed to the Giantess who was now using her finger to scratch her anus, trying to find out where the itches went.

It didn't take to long for everyone to descend the Giantess. Luckily the rain slowed down to just a sprinkle of rain. The flood of water that was below them, retreated to just enough water to reach up to their hips. Matthew didn't waste any time as he helped everyone down off the Giantess and head toward the direction he thought the lost research crew might have gone.

Finally, after a while the ringing left Matthew's ears, and to his relief, he spotted trees in the distance. The water descended to about ankle high as they approached the first tree and the Giantess in the distance was now just a blurry mountain. Matthew waited until they were completely out of the marsh before he told everyone to take a break. Before Matthew could take a breather, Tom came at him.

"You got Tom killed," Jake said punching Matthew.

"Stop," Kim shouted trying to stop both Matthew and Jake from killing each other.

"You think I don't know that," Matthew yelled as he returned a punch. "You think I enjoyed getting Tom killed," Matthew shouted throwing another punch. "Or Mickey? Or Glen and Wesley? Even Charlie? You think I wanted them to die?" No matter how much Matthew tried to act like he didn't care, he did. "I didn't want anyone to die, but they did. And I'll have to live with it." Matthew shoved Jake back from their fight.

"Matt," Kim started to say.

"Don't," Matthew cut her off from saying anything. "I don't need to hear it. I'll help you find your sister, and then you all can leave," Matthew told them as he grabbed his gear.

"What do you mean by that," Kim asked. "What do you mean by 'you'?"

Matthew shot her a glare, "I told you the only reason I came here was for revenge. I'm not leaving until I kill that bitch." With that Matthew pushed forward further into the woods not waiting for the others to catch up.
