The passengers were focused. They felt confident that they were on the right track. They turned their attention to Peanut, who had been suspiciously quiet for some time. After attempting to make some excuses, Peanut started saying inconherent bunches of words and attempted to run down the nearest corridor. It wasn't far before a group was able to tackle their target and finished the job. The remains of Peanut began to quickly disintegrate, and as the last of the alien's body disappeared from the floor, the ship suddenly lurched to a stop.
Peanut, Engineer - Lynched Day 9
Somehow, he had made it. The Vic Viper was not in good shape, but he was alive, and the pilot was exhausted. The fire was gone, and now the corridor had turned into faces. Thousands of faces. They were all calling out in different voices, different languages. All of them speaking out in one horrific dissonant sound. The pilot occasionally could hear the sound saying something...it sounded like "listen", but that was the most he could make out.
He briefly considered turning the ship around and getting out before something even worse happened, but he had no idea if there was actually any way of escaping. He had battled through so many different obstacles the Bacterians had thrown at him so far, anyway. Why give up now?
Navigating the ever-changing living corridor, he spotted something in the distance. As he got closer and the room brightened, he realized it was an enormous head. It stared imperiously towards him, and the urge to shy away was unavoidable. Was this Bacterian himself?

"I was born out of the greediness of mankind. So long as humans exist, so will I..."
These words invaded the mind of the pilot. The words echoed in his mind, and continued to get louder and louder, threatened to deafen him. The pilot started to scream in pain, slamming the controls of the Vic Viper, firing all his lasers and missiles at Bacterian.
"Mankind is intriguing. They serve our purposes well. The empire will annihilate this galaxy with your help-"
The massive brain of Bacterian had no protection, and the impacts of the missiles blew it open. Bacterian bellowed in pain, and began to dissolve. All the faces around him yelled out in their languages, and the entire corridor began to shake. The pilot hit the engine to full power, and raced through an opening in the brain to an exterior corridor. He raced as fast as possible to beat out the crumbling planet.

The Vic Viper was barely holding together, but seeing the remains of the planet behind him, he knew the worst was over. He would hobble his way back to Gradius and need to wait for repairs, but any remnants of the Bacterians would be easily dispatched if they could even function without their leader.
"Father, you're free." he said out loud to himself. Space was quiet, and he talked to himself to make it feel a little more interesting.
A few days later, the passengers waited idly on the transport ship, which had no engine power since the host had disappeared. They had explored the ship completely, and found no trace of any alien life. Finally, they heard the sound from the comm console they had been waiting for. The military had arrived, 20 ships strong. They secured the sector and offloaded the passengers from the ship. Their hellish days of survival were finally over. Though some had been lost in the process, their efforts were not in vain.
