Furno's Log:

It was a pretty vague mission brief, we had no idea what we were facing or if we were even facing anyone for that matter. All I knew was that we were four of the best heroes Hero Factory can offer and if we can complete this mission then no one can. This time I was upgraded into the XL armor and looked quite good in it if I do say so myself. We each had new visors which can scan the terrain, improve combat and many other things too.
We finally landed on Argo IV and took our first steps onto the misty world. Their wasn't a lot of civilization on the planet. Most of it was based on extreme terrain in which many dangerous beasts live. They're are usually not looking for a fight but just very territorial. We had landed in one of the few cities and the strange thing was, it was silent. Nothing could be heard at all but the sounds of wild animals in the distance. 
"Stay tight team." I said. "We still don't know what's out their and I don't want to put us all at risk by splitting up."
They all nodded and we kept walking in silence.
"This place gives me the creeps." Bulk said to finally breaking the silence.
"Where is everyone." Rocka said while looking around.
"It looks like they all just dropped out of existence." Breez commented. "Look at all the belongings that are just lying about on the streets."
"Maybe we can find some answers up there." I said while pointing at the communications tower.
"Why their?" Rocka asked. "The planet's radio silent and no alerts were received."
"I know but It's possible the communications were jammed and even though no transmissions were received they still could have been sent." I replied.
"And they would have been stored on a database." Breez added.
"Good thinking, Furno." Bulk complemented.
"Thanks Bulk." I said. "Now let's go."
No sooner had I said that we heard heavy foot steps on the road in front of us. With my visor I could make out one, no two, no four figures through the mist, each varying in shape and size.
"Maybe that's what happened to the citizens." Rocka suggested with fear in his voice.
"No, their not citizens. They're animals." Breez said in the same tone as Rocka.
"Heroes! Stand your ground! Don't let fear get to you or you've already lost." I ordered, I was feeling more and more like Stormer everyday.
"You will not escape this planet alive!" They all said at once.
"We'll see about that." I replied.
They all charged at us and I prepared for their first strikes. Their were four of us and four of them so we took on one each. I was facing the one that my scan told me was called a Pyrox, a bull-like creature that lived in volcanic regions.
I blocked his first attack with my shield and the vibration knocked him off balance. I was then able to hit him with my sword and he was pushed back.
The brain on his back squirmed in agony and that's when it hit me. No not the Pyrox, but the fact that the Pyrox, and all the other creatures we're facing, aren't supposed to have these brains on them. It's a must be a parasite controlling them and making them do this.
I charged again this time I got behind the beast, grabbed the parasites tail and pulled it right off. The Pyrox clasped and lay on the flour, the parasite squirmed in my hand and I stood there victorious.
"Guys, pull the brains off the creatures!" I shouted to the rest of the team. "It's the only way!"

Rocka has all the details of what happens next in his log...
