Beowulf Alternate Ending Essay

All the men survived. They reached the warehouse at dusk. The large sliding doors were opened and there was a malevolent feeling around them. Beowulf told this men to wait with Unferth, “I will go alone. No one else needs to die today.” With that he vanished into the inky blackness. The doors slid shut. Beowulf turned on his flashlight because his armor was offline re-charging along with his night vision. He stopped at a ledge. Below was the flooded facility. When Beowulf was a child he had some red blood cells replaced with more efficient ones that allowed him to hold his breath for hours at a time. Beowulf shedded his armor and dove into the freezing water. His skinsuit keeping him warm and safe from electric circuits. He swam for two hours. His flashlight dieing.

Then he found her, the mother.

The smartest one. The red eye staring at him in the dark was all he could see. It tried to electrify the water, but that was no use with Beowulf’s skinsuit on. He pulled out his close quarters combat knife and lunged out of the water in the direction of her red eye. His flashing went off. He was hit with a metallic object and flong at the wall. The next thing Beowulf knew he was being picked up in two arms. The arms were a close mimic to human arms, but they were not. He could feel the arms crushing him. Beowulf grabbed the arms and pulled on them. Ripping the arms apart, he could see the red eye three and a half meters away. He kicked the machine grabbing him and jumped toward the computer’s eye again. Beowulf was hit again by the metallic square. He pulled out his handgun with a laser sight, firing at the eye. Missing, reaiming, and missing again, until, nothing but an empty cartridge was left in his gun. He was hit again by the metallic square. Beowulf held on to it this time, but was slammed into the wall at a bone crushing speed. He cried in pain. Beowulf reloaded and hit it. The lights turned on to reveal that he had killed only a

decoy.

Beowulf, angrily, began to swim to the top. He breathed in fresh air, tended and repared his wound with a special scanner. Beowulf began to climb a ladder leading to the top of the flooded pit he was in. Scanning the rooms as he ran the he soon found his enemy. The computer was in the same location as Ledinerge. The mother spotted him before he even entered the room. It moved its claw in to attack. Beowulf leaped through the air and grabbed it. He tore the wires from the machine and fell on his feet to the floor. Sprinting to the mother, he dodged everything it through at him. Until the mother dropped out the floor under him. He fell, darkness, then splash. More water, his eyes soon adjusted to the dark. Below him he could see creatures swimming. Some of them swam up to kill him. Those that tried were quickly killed. He found an exit. A small filter for the water. As he swam through he found a small hatch for a repairman to use. Beowulf climbed up it. He was a story below the computer. He ran up the flights of stairs. Making it back to the monitor room. He jumped onto the platform where the mother was. Grabbed his knife, again. Cut the computer in two and left.
