Gauntlet II

Gauntlet II is the seventh chapter (in this case, Episode) of Deathmatch. It is preceded by Gauntlet, and succeeded by Hunter.

Synopsis
Still trapped in the ruins, The Participant is attacked by one of the four aliens searching for him. After a brief firefight, The Participant kills the alien with his last grenade. He is then confronted by the other aliens, and they chase him around the building. The Participant guns one down, and eviscerates another with his axe. The last alien disarms him, and tries to break his spine over the railing of a balcony. The railing breaks, and both of them are sent over the edge, with The Participant grabbing another railing, and the alien grabbing his legs, and then climbing up on his shirt. The Participant manages to grab his axe again, and cut off a section on his shirt, sending the alien to fall to his death below. With his last ounce of strength, The Participant pulls himself back onto the balcony and collapses in exhaustion.

Behind the Scenes
This was Asylum's second most favorite chapter to write, his most favorite being Breakthrough.
