well anyway here is capters 1-5
AvP: Frozen in time
Chapter 1
The soap like pieces of ice rush around in the howling wind. Touching the ground softly joining with the rest of fallen ice creating a blanket on top of the small of Bovertoya. Broken whalebones lay frozen in the ice frozen forever in the cold harsh winds of the Antarctic, frozen in time forever. The whalebones lay scattered from the creature of immense power that had plowed through them two hundred years earlier a huge crater still lays from where the greatest battle on this planet took place a battle of hunter and prey. The battle that killed the Wayland expedition still rages on two centuries after a never ending battle a battle that will continue till the end of time. The hunt goes on….
Lex the sole survivor of the Wayland expedition returns to the world, the world of facts and numbers the world of logic it is the world of the company. A company that does not think it right to tell the families of those dead that their son, daughter, brother, sister father or mother was killed by galactic hunters and black serpents with acidic blood.
Two hundred years later Ellen Ripley would encounter the same serpents and history would repeat its self.
2179
After pressure from the government (what is left of it) the Wayland-Yutani Company decide to take action.
Of through the large glass entrance doors of level 207 of WY tower are the offices of the power players in the company. The sun beats down on the wooden desk reflecting a shine, wood is a hard thing to come by these days only the elite have anything made of wood it became more valuable than gold or platinum in the late 21st century when Wal-Mart took ownership of all the worlds forests allowing access to those companies that could pay a billion dollar price tag. Wayland-Yutani is one of those companies harvesting as much wood as possible how ironic that one of the most common things on this planet and yet it is so scarce that’s what money does. It is an honor to have a desk made out of the most valuable substance of the planet. An elbow rests of the polished wood the elbow of a man that did not like his job nor did he consider himself one of the elite his blue eyes staring out onto the New York landscape everything he sees is owned by the company from the building he works in to the pizza shop on the corner of the street below. The suns glare reflects off his slick black hair.
He gazed out the window day dreaming his job was boring he got paided well but it was dull everyday the same today he had not even got a piece of work he just sat gazing waiting, waiting for the time to go home so he could have his dinner sleep and then get up and go back to work the next day. “Sir†his secretary trying to get his attention “Mr. Rogersâ€Â. Rogers snaps back into reality “huh, yeas Mrs. Goldsmith†the woman looks annoyed “the senior executives want you now the say its important†“what’s it about†“I don’t know but you have to get up there nowâ€Â. Rogers sighs and mutters to himself “just when I thought I could sleep†he secretary hears him and gives a look as if that he should have known better. Rogers gets up and grabs his coat from the back of his leather chair “better go see what those @ssholes wantâ€Â. He walks to the elevator and disappears behind the cold steel doors.
Level 500
The elevator doors slide open with a screeching sound there was no view from this height only cloud. The slick man stepped out of the luxurious box that traveled up and down thousands of times a day. The room was a large reception area cold, quiet and sterile. Only the sound of the head officer’s secretary typing away her eyes fixed at her computer screen “you can go in Mr. Rogers†she orders him in a solid demanding voice. He walked up to the gold plated doors both opening as he walked up to them this room was more relaxed a purple tinge on the walls and all wooden furniture. Semi circle desk sits in the middle of the room a large leather chair sits in the middle the high back of the chair shrouding his face in darkness “hello Mr. Rogers†the dark toned voice snaps. Rogers looks curios to see the mans face “um hello si-†is all Rogers can get out of his mouth before the dark figure snaps again “Mr. Rogers we have called you up here for a special assignment you have been selected to go to Antarctica in search of archeological discoveries you must select a team and bring them up to speed your flight leaves in 10 hours you have to be on it anything you and your team find down there is to be sent back here and I mean anything got thatâ€Â. Rogers has a state of shock on his face “sir with respect do you thin-†the shadowed mouth speaks almost angered by Rogers comment “your job is to do what we tell you and if that involves going to the middle of nowhere than you will do it my secretary has your travel plans I want you to memorize Alexa Woods report and brief your team on it good day Mr. Rogersâ€Â. Rogers turns around his feet twisting the soft office carpet he walks out of the comfortable atmosphere of the office into the cold harshness of what the company is really like cold, heartless and bitter he did not know how this woman could stand being in this room all day. He walks over to her and without even glancing at him she hands him his orders “good luck Mr. Rogers†she wishes him in her cool crisp voice. Rogers walks back to the elevator and stands in the box the computerized voice talks to him “where would you like to go?†his look oer and discomfort cover his face “level 207 please†the doors slide forward sealing him in as it goes down 293 floors.
Chapter 2
Rogers sits back down at his desk still shocked by the news the sun slowly drifts away into the horizon as he looks at his screen trying to find suitable candidates. Darkness envelopes the skyline as the sun shines on another part of the planet part of the planet where a hunt begins.
The desert is dry, waterless and a wasteland just like the Antarctic except instead of freezing ice there is hot sand miles and miles of sand. The desert is calm today no sand storms just the heat of the suns rays only few creatures can survive here creatures that live underground on reptiles. This is Iraq a country now deserted nothing but a few company rebels live here now the company owns the army so they have patrols out every now and then. Franticly feet destroy this calm as a man an American is running his ripped off sleeves wrapped around his brown hair his face covered is sand he is drained for 2 nights he has bared the sand and the heat but he can take it no more he coll in the sand lifeless. He does not care anymore about life or living he just wants out of this desert then a crunching noise brings him back he glances in front of his face and sees a footprint in the sand large humanoid foot print another one near his torso he realizes that he is doomed looking up he sees the camouflaged mask of the hunter it turns of its adaptive camouflage reveling its masked face its flat front bears down it has inscriptions on the sides. The creature picks the man up with one thrust showing its massive stature holding by the throat he begins to gurgle and choke with a little thrust the hunter throws him into the nearby sand. It reaches up grabbing two cords that run from its helmet to its back it pulls them out a whooshing sound of escaping air fills the soundless wasteland. The man is afraid very afraid after seeing what it did to his teammates he was part of an American platoon on patrol in Iraq when they saw a meteor or what they thought was a meteor. One by one they got picked off by this alien he had hatred for it, watching as it took its mask off showing its true face this made the American even more scared its crab like mandibles twitching, its red and yellow eyes staring into him it was gruesome the man spoke “your one ugly mother f**ckerâ€Â. The creature looked at him as if he had heard that many a times the American had one chance his knife in his back pant pocket it was his only weapon. He started to form a plan putting some sand into his hand he throws it into the creatures red pupils blinding him making him vulnerable he takes out his knife and leaps onto the creature stabbing it in the chest. The creature is unharmed it acts as it did before its fluorescent blood runs onto the American’s shirt the hunter lets out a sign of amusement. Suddenly his wrist computer lets out a series of beeps and clicks the creature seems annoyed the American still hanging onto the blade in its chest astounded, shocked that he had failed. It puts out its right arm two long blades about two feet long extend from a silver gauntlet the man looks at them knowing death is here the blades fling across with the creatures arm digging into the American’s heart. He can’t feel the pain he looks at the hunter as his eyes begin to blur the image of the alien fades and his mind dies. The hunter throws the lifeless body into the sand and it walks off into the back to where ever the hell it came.
Still Rogers sits at his desk reading up on Alexa Woods report he finds the tale of Hunters and beasts believable after all anything can happen and he knew it was a rumor that the old Wayland company had sent a team down to investigate an ancient pyramid.
2 months later
The cold blasting weather of this frozen hell rages on surrounding a large glass dome and its occupants. Rogers stands arguing with Major Robertson an army general in charge of the tactical part of the expedition, the room is the largest in the complex it is artificially heated the two men debate over their find. “We should leave it until we are certain of its capabilities†says Rogers in his darkest tone of voice Robertson looks into Rogers’s eyes with anger. “We are here to investigate, research and bring back anything we find we have been here for 2 months how much longer do you want to stay here†“and what if this thing wakes up you want to try and transport this thing†“simple we lock it in a cargo container†Rogers turns away from the man angered by his stupidity. A blonde haired lady walks into to the room she is the archeologist her body is sleek and slender she looks like she should be a model rather than an archeologist.
“Mrs. Bagfield what do you think about this?†Robertson says with a hint of flirtation Bagfield doesn’t seem impressed by the man “I think both of you need to ask the company and find out what they thinkâ€Â. Suddenly a tall geeky looking man burst through the door his face almost twisted by terror “ you guys have to see thisâ€Â.
The four of them practically run down the icy stair case going down thousands of feet Rogers stands behind the tall geeky man still wondering what is happening Rogers breaks under the suspense of trying to figure out what is so urgent “Voog what is important Voog stops in his tracks looking at Rogers with a surprise thinking he had already told them realizing that he hadn’t he speaks “well its thawing†Voog continues down the stairs Rogers still questions “how did this happen we place air conditioners all around this thing†“well we think the air conditioners are not powerful enough†“you think or you know?†“For now Mr. Rogers we only think that is the problemâ€Â. Bagfield looks at Voog as if he is incompetent “so what exactly can we do Mr. Voog†“well Miss we can do nothing we have to move it†Robertson has a look of satisfaction on his face “so how we gonna move it?†“Well…. I had to call someone†Rogers looks with a state of shock “ you didn’t Voog†“I had no choice†Bagfield is confused by all this “he did what?†Rogers looks up at her “he called in the astro mine shipsâ€Â.
A humming sound fills the artic air as the ships draw closer to their destination below the ice Bagfield is still confused “astro mine ships?†Robertson is losing his patients with this woman “astro mine ships designed for cutting up large sections of asteroids and taking away mineral depositsâ€Â. Bagfield understands now looking at Rogers wondering why he is so upset with voog calling the ships in. suddenly as Bagfield is about to say something a large laser beam hits the top of the ice, the noise is incredible.
The beam travels from a node in the corner of the 500 m square platform there are four nodes one in each corner each node measuring about 3m. On the top of the platform is a round cabin this is the bridge of the ship inside sits 3 controllers in red chairs. Wayland-Yutani symbols cover the ships interior, captain Sam Core sits in his chair slightly in front of the two other men. He looks down to his comm. and speaks into it “hello down there estimated removal time twenty minuetsâ€Â. The message booms through all of the expeditions personal communication devices Voog responds with lightning speed “yes understood is the freezer ship ready?†unknown to them a transmitter activates inside the creature.
Chapter 3
In orbit
Two massive ships hang above Antarctica the Thei-de Thwei meaning Dead Blood in English and the Setg'-in Bpi-de meaning deadly end, the Thei-de Thwei is in command of Balatu clan lead by a mysterious elder that has adopted the name of Paya his past is hidden to him his clan seeks to capture a queen so the hunt can begin but the Nain-desintje-de clan has the same plans. They are a much more mighty clan led by the elder named Bakuub the two ships make contact the elder Paya speaks into a communications device “leave this queen is ours!†he says in another worldly language onboard the Setg'-in Bpi-de the blue dreadlock type hair swings as Bakuub’s head swings he snarls into his comm. Device “you leave this is our claim the mighty Nain-desintje-de clan will capture this queenâ€Â. Paya glances at his elders Cetanu and Yeyinde, Paya speks back into the comm. “you will leave you Pyode Amedha ooman†meaning soft meat human an insult in the hunter’s world. Bakuub is furious he looks at his elders and speaks back “you and your clan are nothing but a bunch of Lou-dte Kalei†meaning child makers, females. Paya is at his most enraged state how dare they dishonor his clan with that disrespectful treatment Paya screams into the comm. “ you are Pyode Amedha Lou-dte Kalei ooman and you will face the blades of death for you can not handle a queenâ€Â. Suddenly Cetanu puts his hand on Payhoulder telling him not to say anymore Cetanu addresses his elder “we should not waste our time with this queen schow it is damaged and may not produce good prey†a message comes in from the comm. “you...†Paya speaks into the comm. Before Bakuub can say anything “have the queen we will leave you good hunting for blood and honorâ€Â. The Thei-de Thwei moves off its light speed engines start and it zooms off looking for another queen leaving the other hunters to begin their hunt. Behind the moon a colonial marines ship orbits it is in shadow unaware to the hunters ships it is watching stalking, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the hunters this an operation that has gone on for years as the Thei-de Thwei leaves they decide to follow and the ship disappears into space ready to surprise the hunters but it is they who will be in for the surprise.
On the Antarctic surface
A giant metal claw clings to the ice its segmented body travels vertically up to the astro mine ship a second ship much smaller than the first waits the ships has a big rectangle cargo hold.
Below the team finally reach the main chamber at the bottom of the icy stairwell a huge black creature petrified in a screaming state its tail in the air, its mouth wide open. Rogers taps Voog on the shoulder “what did the tests reveal on this thing?†“Well for one it has an acidic blood something we have never seen before, its body is made out of a hard exoskeleton and it is very hard thing to kill†Rogers doesn’t seem surprised “so its exactly what we think it is a …..What are we calling them now?†“It’s a xenomorph†“yes and this is what Alexa woods must have encountered and is it what Ellen Ripley encountered on LV-426?†Voog takes a deep breath “maybeâ€Â.
The cutting of the giant ice cube is done the metal claw begins to retract everyone in the main chamber look up as the roof of ice starts to retract upwards, light shines through the newly formed gap between the cube and the frozen sea. The claw hits the platform of the ship the cube is lifted into the air the ship moves off revealing the night sky to those in the main chamber. The second ship moves in it cargo bay slowly opens showing a large harness, the ship starts lowering the harness down into the pit a message comes over Voog’s comm. “strap the harness onto the cargo when it reaches you†“will doâ€Â. The black harness straps vibrate in the wind, and with a sound like coins being dropped the harness hit the floor Voog signals for three of his tants to apply the harness onto the creature. They run around frantic trying to get the harness on they defiantly did not want to be close to this thing CLICK the harness is attached all three of the tants back off fast to the other side of the room Voog sighs how did he get these cowards for helpers “its attached start pulling it upâ€Â. The harness starts to retract pulling the mighty xenomorph queen up when Rogers notices something a long gothic like chain connecting form the creatures back into the wall of ice Rogers yells into his comm. “stop the lifting!†Voog swings around furiously glaring at Rogers “why have you told them to stop!†“because look at its back†Voog swings around again his face about to explode with anger then he sees the chain.
Rogers grabs an ice-cutting torch and starts walking over to the chain suddenly Voog snatches it away from him “ill cut this thing off†Rogers is at his boiling point “FINE!â€Â. Voog walks to the chain and fires up the cutting device a bright red flame sparks start flying everywhere as the device starts cutting through. Suddenly Voog stops he could have sworn it just moved it must have been his mind he goes back to cutting then again it moved it must have moved Voog was getting scared he now wanted this thing gone he started cutting again. The flame burns through the ancient alien metal and it finally breaks Voog is relieved “ok its free start lifting†the harness starts back up again and the creature moves upwards Voog walks back to the others and glares at Rogers “see I told you there was nothing to worry about†suddenly the creatures tail darts for Voog the black spear hits Voog impaling him blood splatters on Rogers and the others, the queen is alive.
Chapter 4
The hissing scream of the mighty beast fills the chamber the tail lifts up taking Voog with it the harness is working caring the queen to the ship Rogers doesn’t know what to do he sees Voog’s pain stricken face. Bagfield is almost in tears “What do we do!†the creatures head looks from left right an ancient spear sticking out of its exoskeleton its tail moves to its side Voog screaming from the pain it brings the tip of the tail to its Voog is now face to face with the black monstrosity. Its twitch in the Antarctic as the harness brings the creature to the surface, its lips twitch up and down showing its teeth then on the seventh twitch it opens its jaw revealing is inner jaw its four dagger shaped teeth move up and down as the inner jaw prepares to move SHING the jaw moves down in to Voog’s skull the force c his head to crack open an explosion of blood fly’s all over the creature the it looks up and sees the cargo ship its tail moves violently Voog’s carcass fly’s off hitting the snow below. The harness reaches the end of its travel and stops the monster hanging the bottom bay door still open the pilot cant close them they are jammed, the creature’s tail hits parts of the ship piecing through the metal. The pilot shouts into his comm. “the doors are jammed I cant close it!†the creature hits the ships walls with its inner jaw back in the main chamber Rogers can see the problem the ancient chain that was attached to the queen has fallen loose off the creature and gotten jammed in the doors. Rogers looks around what can he do then he sees it an artifact found frozen a few meters away it’s a Frisbee like object with blades the hunters call it a shrieken, Rogers has no idea what this thing is but its there only hope of closing the bay doors he positions him self on an angle with the ship and throws the artifact it fly’s upwards as if it has a mind of its own it travels with speed too much speed for Rogers to have just thrown it the way he did. It hits the chain success the chain falls back down thousands of feet and lands in front of Rogers, the bay doors close sealing the creature in Rogers turns his mouth to his personal comm. “freeze that mother er†the pilot hits a bright red button a message comes up on his computer screen ‘liquid nitrogen released’ the bay fills with liquid nitrogen the queen screams in pain and then science the queen is frozen. The pilot takes a breath and leans over to the comm. “ok beginning transport†the cargo ship turns and speeds off in the distance. Rogers sighs he dreads thinking that the company will make him write a report about this one he turns to Bagfield and Robertson the three tants are cowering in the corner of the room their faces covered with blood splatter, the whole room is covered with Voog’s blood Rogers starts walking to the stairs he turns when he reaches the first step Bagfield and Robertson still frozen from what had happened “everyone wash up and then we are leaving the company got what they f*cking wantâ€Â.
In orbit the Yuatja ship sees the tracking beacon moving tracking beacons are placed in all ceremonial queens so that clans could not steal them but this queen had been abandoned, the Setg'-in Bpi-de moves slowly following the cargo ship from high orbit until it reaches its final destination Wayland-Yutani headquarters-New York.
Chapter 5
New York the city of the company this is where it all goes down all the companies meetings it is such a busy city, Rogers hates New York its all rush rush get you in get you out don’t ask questions, it is a heartless city. The transport he is aboard is rushing towards company headquarters they wont a report from all of them on what had happened why did they care if it was just an archeological exploration than why would they care something was wrong the company never cared about people only money the last time the held this type of inquiry was when Ellen Ripley was found 3 months ago floating in space. It had taken them 2 days to get back to civilization so the creature that they had captured could be anywhere but most likely it was still in New York so that was another reason Rogers didn’t want to be there. The transport ship is small about the size of a helicopter powered by to jet engines, the pilot looks over his shoulder and speaks to Rogers “we aren’t gettin communications from the city†Rogers looks blankly at the pilot “continue on†“yes sirâ€Â. Please please be a black out Rogers thinks to himself, the ship enters the towering New York city skyline the pilot looks back again “sir we are getting communications now seems there is some sort of long range black out no one can seem to transmit any signals any farther than the city limitsâ€Â. Rogers relaxes but he really should be getting more scared.
In orbit over New York
The Setg'-in Bpi-de sits final preparations are being made for the drop the elder Bakuub is arming himself attaching his wristblades he does not carry a plasma caster he only uses bladed weapons it is the purest way to fight. The communications black out was their work, Bakuubs elders approached him his second in command M-di H'chak speaks to his elder “the unbloods are ready for the hunt†Bakubb seems pleased “good now we waitâ€Â.
The transport ship touches down on the huge landing pad on top of Yutani Tower a giant Wayland-Yutani logo is painted on the pad, the ships slowly lets out a whooshing noise as the engines powered down the sliding door of the ship opened and Rogers, Robetson and Bagfield step out the sun shining down on them an African- American man in a gray suit stands waiting for them “hello Mr. Rogers†he says as Rogers walks towards him “and Mr. Rbertson and Ms. Bagfield, I welcome you all back to New York†Rogers doesn’t seem impressed “you want to tell us why we are here?†the man gives a small smirk “the company wants to thank you on your success†Rogers face fires up with anger “success one of our team was killed†“still his sacrifice to science is more than he ever could have done in life, studying this creature has been great it is such a interesting being†Bagfield sparks up at the man “who dare you…†the man has had enough of this “please come with me the company want you to see this before the meetingâ€Â. The man turns and walks to the stairway they are all hesitant to follow him, Rogers is the first to walk forward then they follow him Rogers p the man and stops “who are you exactly?†the man looks at Rogers “my name is Will Judgeâ€Â.
W-Y testing labs 1-23
Judge walks swiftly through the sterile corridors showing them the varied experiments until the reach lab 22, judge stops ad turns facing the group “now this is our new pet xenomorph†Judge pushes a button and a large section of metal moves up revealing the creature “as you can see we have it under control we also have worked out the creatures life cycle the one you captured is a queen of a sort it lays eggs containing a spider like alien we have nicked named a ‘facehugger’†Robertson is the first to speak “why facehugger?†Rogers looks at Robertson and speaks before Judge “because it hugs onto a persons face and lays another creature inside a host†Judge seems impressed “yes exactly†Bagfield suddenly realize how they would no this for sure “your using people as test subjects aren’t you†Judge softens “ yes under the companies orders we hav….†Rogers voice grows loud “how many!†“Well we had t…..†“how many!†“seventeen so far another ten gestating†“you s†Rogers slams Judge into the plastic shield separating them from the queen they glare at each other after 9 seconds Rogers turns and walks back the way he came Bagfield and Robertson do the same Judge adjust his suit and fixes his tie “what about the meeting?†Robertson turns around and starts walking backwards “ the meetingâ€Â.
The elevator takes Rogers and his team back to the roof where the transport ship still sits they walk out into the midday sky the sun reflecting off the buildings Bagfield stop Rogers for a second “why are we leaving why don’t we try and stop them?†she asks Rogers “it’s the company we cant stop them they will kill everyone on the planet as they get what they want, we cant stop them.†Rogers walks back to the ship Robertson is already onboard Bagfield looks back at the stairs she thinks of stopping them but knows what ever she does will do nothing. She walks back to the ship and gets in as it takes off she stares at the building wondering the horror that will come of this.
Lab 22
Judge enters the control room five men sit at a control panel each watching a different screen controlling the queens environment, the queen has laid many eggs her egg sack can barely fit into the enclosure. A man wearing a lab coat and thick gl walk into the control room and address Judge “we have a problem, a big problem†“what is it?†“you have to see it Mr. Judge†the scientist leads Judge to Lab 27 “one of them has escaped sir†the scientist says in a calm voice suddenly drool drops onto Judge’s head he slowly looks at the open vent shaft the drool continues to drip and with a quick flash of movement the creature leaps.
Aboard the Setg'-in Bpi-de
M-di H'chak gets into his drop pod they know that one of their prey has escaped it would only be time before the rest do and then the hunt will start the unbloods are all suited up ready for their first hard meat hunt Bakuub will be the last to come down he will launch the clan’s drop pods and then follow. The Yuatja hunters stand proud ready for the hunt Bakuub lets out a roar and the others follow the sound of hunters screaming fills the ship, Bakuub hits the control switch next to him and all the pod doors close launching them one by one. The bottom of the ship looks spectacular as 20 pods launch them selves bottom in an explosion each head towards the east coast of America, Bakuub gets into his pod and press the control on the inside of his pod the doors close and the pod is thrown into the planets atmosphere.
The Transport ship nearing city limits
Bagfield is sleeping, Robertson is playing solitaire and Rogers is gazing at the city he never knew from a transport ship the city could look so peaceful he looks up at the sky and sees something a red line running across the sky he wakes Bagfield “have a look at this†she ventures over to the window to see what he is talking about “what is it?†she says in a sleepy voice “look at that red line†as Rogers speaks another one appears and another till 20 great red lines streak across the sky. The lines continue and then stop one by one then a small dark brown object appears by this time most of New York had seen these objects and are watching them the pilot looks back at them “I think they are meteors†suddenly one comes crashing down hitting a building dust pours from the windows as the building implodes onto its self from the force of the impact another one crashes hitting the New York sidewalks causing a cave in as it continues on into the sewer. The pilot looks back again “you better put your seatbelts on†the third hits the transport ship the screeching sound of metal is all they hear, the engines stop and the ship starts loosing height “we’re going down!†the pilot yells. Rogers looks out the window he sees more of these things hitting buildings “what the hell is going on!!†the pilot yells out “five seconds till impact, four, three, two, one hold on!!â€Â
are you predator or prey?
