A Larger Ground Ape suddenly broke formation and ran ahead of the others, its movement sharp and unpredictable as it twisted its body to evade the continuous stream of machine gun bullets, its heavy feet digging into the ground with each step while it held a thick tree firmly in both hands, the roots still clinging with dirt as it leaped forward, rolled across the ground to avoid another burst of fire, then rose again without slowing and hurled the tree forward with full force from as far back as the second line.
The tree cut through the air, spinning as it traveled, the sound of its movement loud and rough as it pushed through the wind, forcing the Lesser Ground Apes in its path to scatter to the sides instinctively as it rushed past them.
The tree struck the thin steel lines, for a brief moment… The ropes stretched pulling back slightly under the force, but they didn't break; instead the sharp tension held firm and in the next instant the steel sliced through the tree cleanly.
