(My goodness, this RPG is moving fast!)

The earth shattered under Iseijin’s massive weight with every bounding stride she made towards the direction of the commotion. Once a light-bodied drone; the female xenomorph had grown – or, more accurately, evolved – into a beast amongst beasts. Underneath the heavy, bulky armor of night-black chitin, corded muscles pulled and yanked and moved the bulky frame with near implausible speed across the barren landscape, kicking up rocks and dust with every thrust of her taloned claws. Though a xenomorph’s cowl usually remained rounded and smooth for much of their lives, Iseijin’s had begun to change along with her frame and flattened at the ends to create a small, flat crown around the end of her cowl, signifying the female’s maturity – both her age and sexually. Even with a Queen currently ruling strong at the Hive, female xenomorphs lived under constant social pressure to raise their status amongst the rest of the drones, but more importantly amongst other females. Should the Matriarch fall, a new monarch must rise to the throne as quickly as possible – this usually being the most established female drone. Iseijin’s current designation as Guardian made her a prime candidate for that position, and her body had already responded to the impulse with massive weight gain and speeding growth.

The trespassers’ intrusion onto this planet was a tempting chance for Iseijin to increase her social standing, and she drooled generously in enthusiastic apprehension of the feast to come. Be that this could prepare her for a future leadership – and a possible Hive of her own – was enough to drive the female xenomorph to tap the darker corners of her mind. The Hive was all that mattered to any drone, but one’s personal achievements should be dealt by one’s own hand. There were a handful of female drones, some active defenders and scouts. Iseijin was barely tolerant of those fems, and now could purposely see them as an enemy. To be rid of the trespassers and to be rid of female competition would be the prime situation for her, and was willing to do anything within her power to see that it would happen as so.

Iseijin slowed down as she neared the cragged edge of a ledge, and halted at its edge as she motioned her head in the direction of the commotion. Winds brought to her many scents – some of fellow Hive drones, while the rest were clearly unknown – but only the stench of other female xenomorphs brought a growl to her throat and displayed her teeth behind raised lips.

The Guardian reared to her hind legs and threw back her head to let out a bellowing roar that echoed many times before fading away into silence.

Beware, enemies of the Hive.

Beware, enemies of Iseijin.

(since your all ready shooting at me i have to fight heheh...but you wont last long!)

While vasquez was giving orders for the others to stand back, she didnt notice the xeno charging at her with full strength, while Hive_Tyrant was on top of her she saw his seconed jaw comming out for a strike, but she used her smartgun to block the attack, she noticed the seconed jaw went straight through the gun, destroying it.

She quikly kicked Hive_Tyrant off, as she got up she saw Hive_Tyrant run into a nearby cave, she chased after him.

It was too dark for vasques to see, she heard a low hiss, she turned around quikly, only to feel Hive_Tyrant clawing at her chest...shee screamed in pain as she felt blood drip from her body.

Donut and Drenton had been lying low for a while, hidden from the world in the dark, dirt caves. They had heard angry noises, and whispers coming from outside a small crack in the dirt wall. Humans were walking past, making strange sounds to each other, which seemed to be some form of communication. Niether Donut, not Drenton could make head or tail of this. A marine wearing a boonie walked past, holding a strange, box like object. It reminded Drenton of... A pulse rifle. Drenton looked around the room wildly and saw that allmost everyone else had a pulse rifle, and a few had some strange, long sticks...

Donut haed ed up, and when Drenton sensed it too, he glanced behind him. Somthing big was out there. Somthing... That... Was for the Hive.

Iseijin

Aeo had already made his way back to the ship when the sun began to rise, “Alright men we don’t know what this new day will bring so lets be careful when we leave alright.†he said as he filed his soldiers back into the ship one at a time.

While in the ship he began assigning a duty roster for the marines to use and a sleep plan for the rest. “Alright this is how this is gonna go. The Marines of Kilo Fireteam will have first rest period, while they are resting Alpha Team of Charlie Squad will be out on patrol with me and Bravo Team will begin the repairs for the ship and gather all scattered ammo from inside the ship. Is that clear gentlemen… We have very little time to get off of this rock and we need to get the ship ready for Hyro’s return so lets get moving.â€Â

This was the first time Aeo was in charge and he wasn’t afraid of failing in command… he was afraid of failing the men that looked up to him… he was afraid to lose more Marines.

Thoughts of everyone began to flood back into Aeo’s mind, “Now isn’t the time…†he said to himself as he chambered a round inside his pulse rifle. The shape the ship was in… it would take awhile to get it up and running but the first thing that the Bravo Team did was restart the backup generators which kicked the temperature control system keeping the ship nice and comfortable for those of the Marines inside.

Aeo began to reach for the door that would lead himself and the Alpha team outside, yet as he reached for the door it scorched his hand, he quickly pulled it away. “What the…†he said to himself as he grabbed the door handle and pulled the door wide open, just then he was hit with a hot bust of wind that knocked him back.

One of the team members saw this and closed the door quickly, “Are you alright Sir?†he asked Aeo as they lifted him up.

“Yes I’m alright,†Aeo said as he dusted himself off this was a set back for them… they wouldn’t be able to go outside in that heat… which ment they had to wait till nightfall to go out on patrols.


The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is for Good Men to do Nothing.

- Edmund Burke -

Shadowblade stood over the fallen gods of death, he had fooled the both of them. A menacing laugh erupted from his throat as he mocked them "this was all it took to best you? hardly worth my time". Stalker looked up from the ground "you.....you pathetic coward". Shadowblade simply laughed, "I hope you enjoy the sunrise" he said, before turning around & leaping into one of the entrenchments. The doctor's achilles tendon had been badly damaged & he was unable to walk properly, & the injury to the back of Stalkers' knee made it difficult for him to get to his feet. The entrance to the entrenchment was only a few meters away, as the wounded hunters began to crawl for the protection it would provide from the beaming sunlight which was looming closer & closer.

The xenomorph swarm continued to attack their other clan brothers, these creatures were undeterred by the burning heat, as they pressed on against the hunters. Cory & Black did not have the same luxury. They knew they needed to find cover. One of the xenomorphs leapt, as the sunlight began to beam down onto it's exoskeleton. The creature leapt atop Black as he struggled to release himself from the creatures deadly grip, as every second he was detained, he was one second closer to death. The xenomorph screeched as it struck out with it's inner jaw, smoke emanated from it's head as the sunlight burned into it, but it was not deterred, these creatures could withstand extreme environmental conditions. Out of pure survival instinct, Black shot forth his wristblades, stabbing the alien through the stomach & lifting it off himself as it violently thrashed back & forth during it's last moments of life. His armour melted off of him & he sustained minor burns to his stomach from the creatures acidic blood, but it was a small price to pay compared to being burned alive by this planet's scorching sun. Grabbing Cory, he knew they had to look for cover fast. Cory spied a small cave entrance not far away. What could be down there was not known, but it surely couldn't be as bad as the dangers up here.....could it?

Meanwhile, Stalker & the doctor were fighting for their lives, as they crawled nearer to the entrenchment. As they closed in, they could see Shadowblade standing inside it, mocking their feeble attempts at survival. Then just like that, the rogue hunter turned & began to walk away, leaving Stalker & the doctor to their "fate". Under his breath the doctor muttered, "you're not getting away so easily" as he struggled to draw his speargun from it's holster. As he lay on the ground, he drew the weapon, holding it out in front of him. "For K20A2" he bellowed, as the weapon discharged. The speargun round launched itself through the air at tremendous speed, as Shadowblade quickly turned back towards the hunters, startled by the doctors words. It was too late for him to move, as the speargun round slammed into his upper thigh, spilling the rogues blood against the rocks inside the entrenchment & dropping the hunter to the ground.

Although shadowblade had been dealt with, at least for the moment, Stalker & the doctor were not out of danger yet as the suns rays drew even closer to them. The doctor removed his mask & threw it into the trench. It was only getting in his way for the moment. Sharp stones & rocks cut through the two hunters as they crawled for survival, but they didn't care, it was a small price to pay compared to the fate they would recieve otherwise. Stalkers hand reached out, grasping the edge of the entrenchment. He dragged himself to the edge, pulling himself over into the trench, the doctor however was still on the surface. Stalker leant up against the trench wall, extending his hand over the edge to pull the doctor in. At that moment, the doctor turned his head towards the sun, his eyes widened as it's deadly beams washed over his body.....

Clinching his fingers into a fist back and forth to ease his hand, Cory stops in place after smacking his prey around. He glaced at his prey. Badly beatened. Cory's helmet was hanging off his face. A single mandible slide out. Cory slid the helmet back onto his face and squeezed it on tightly. He shook his head, waving his dreads back and forth. He held his bullet wounds and cut on his elbow. He whiped the blood off into his hands.

Kidd crawled toward Cory holding his chest with his right hand after the attack. Cory took a step closer to Kidd and then howled in pain from the bullet wounds. He held his wounds in and screeched his mandibles together letting out a loud snarl. Kidd started to get up as Cory step in and kicked Kidd in the stomach. His foot claws dug into his chest but at the same time threw him back. Kidd threw into the air and hit the back wall. Blood dripped out of Kidd's mouth as he leaned his back against the wall trying to get his cosousness back. He looked over to his dead comrad pinned against the wall in the steal net.

Cory stood strong where he was but wounded from his the bullet punctures. Kidd shook his head to snap out of his daze. Cory pulled his spear gun off his belt. Once Kidd cought site of it he was instantly awoke from his daze. It was too late. Cory aimed the spear gun right for Kidd. Cory pulled the trigger on the hand gun styled spear gun and blasted out a large spear. The spear whistled in the air as it sped toward Kidd. Kidd turned to his left to dodge the spear but their was no where to dodge. He was infront of a dead end and his dead comrad. The spear ripped into his shoulder and blood splashed all over the walls. Cory put the spear gun back on his belt and roared once more. Cory took off running towards Kidd. Kidd was pinned against the wall with the spear taring through his shoulder and into the wall.

Kidd struggled trying to pull the spear out of his shoulder as Cory neared. His hand pulled the spear fermly towards the Yautja and it tore out of his shoulder pulling a peice of Kidd's shoulder armor off. Blood ran down his cloths and dripped off the spear. Kidd was free. He got off the wall and rose the spear in the air like he was about to throw a dart. He threw the spear and it rippled into the air and smashed into Cory's right eye visor. Green blood instantly squirted out and drizzled along of the floor. He stopped in his tracks along with Kidd. Kidd was terrified to move closer to Cory who was howling in the loudest, monsterous noise he had ever heard in his life.

Cory gained controll over himself and seised the screaming. He grabbed onto the spear that was wedged into his eye and pulled it out like a twig stuck in mud. It can out easier and faster than it came out of Kidd's shoulder. Cory dropped the spear on the ground and it landed next to Kidd's broken combat knife.

He remained still. His hand slowly rose toward the right side of his helmet. He twisted a cap off the cable that held his helmet together. Air squirted out with a loud hiss. Kidd was also stopped in his tracks, watching the Cory reveal his face while the tensicity built up. Cory threw the cable over his shoulder and then both hands fermly grabbed ahold of the helmet with a strong grip. Cory lowered the helmet away from his face and there it was. His face with lage mandibles moving around. Two blooded mark covered each side of his head. His right eye tore open fromt the spear and a past scar going down that eye... Cory plunged his helmet onto his belt to stay. Kidd looked a bit frightened but he it didn't end his will to stop fighting. Cory let out a massive roar as his mandibles extended out and stretched his cheak skin out. While Kidd only cought a glimps of his face, the helmet had been put on faster than it was taking off. The cnapped together.

Donut and Drenton sat quietly within the dirt wall, listening to the muffled voices of the marines which hastily walked by. Every now and then small blasts of dust would blow into the two xenomorphs, irritating them and enraging them, there were times where Donut wanted to screach and hiss but she knew she had to keep quiet or they would be discovered.

Donut was shifting herself when she caught a familiar scent, one of a female xenomorph. Donut felt a sense of secureness, perhaps the other xenomorph could help her and drenton escape, after all, why wouldnt she? Drenton took notice of the scent as well, but he only faced donut as he too took on a different position.

In the darkness of the wall they waited, minutes seemed like hours, and the scent of the female grew and grew, but now, donut was not so sure that it would help them...Donut had a feeling of doubt spark within her, she began to think about what could possibly happen, what if indeed this female xenomorph was here to hurt her? After all, the Queen was close to her peak, and soon a female would have to take her place, donut was not suprised if the other females were violent about this.

Quietly "Donut" peeked through the walls cracks, Drenton nudged her arm, he sensed her feeling of concern. They would have to wait now, the female was coming, for good or for bad.

Stalker looked on as Shadowblade raced down the embankment & dissapeared into the caverns. He would pay dearly for what he had done. Turning back to the doctor, Stalker could see the pain he was in as he clutched his eyes. Stalker clenched his fist tightly with anger, the doctor had been one of his closest friends for many years, & now he was handicapped...because of Shadowblade. The rogue would pay with his blood for what he had done, Stalker would see to that. "Brother, are you alright?" Stalker asked the doctor "my handicap shall not stop me from doing what must be done" he bellowed, as he pulled himself off of the sharp rocks, & hauled himself to his feet.

The doctor tried to look around him, but he could see nothing. His vision had been completely lost. Although strangely, every sound he heard seemed to come across clearer than before. He would have to bend his new hancicap to his advantage, as he became more in tune with his other senses. With every step he took, he could hear the stones crunching under his feet, & the sound of the xenomorph blood searing into the rocks. It was as though the dormant potential within his other senses had been unlocked.

Shadowblade had retreated into the caverns, but he would not get away so easily. Stalker & the doctor neared the entrance, extending their wristblades as the hunt for the elder rogue began. Little did the two gods of death know what lay ahead.....

as vasquez threw her damaged gun asidce she took her pulse rifle off her back loaded and fired.
this time when the xeno attacked her she pulled her knife and stuck it in the xenos chest while roling outta the way to avoid acid. he did this the xeno screeched in pain. as she got up she shot at the xeno with her pulse rifle as it dodged the bullits she rean up and drop kicked the DArn thing as it fell back she was getting up from the gound.

Hive_Tyrant jumped on vasques befor she threw another rock, Tyrant used his tail to punture both of vasques's legs, unable to use her legs anymore vasques pushed the xeno off, she cried in pain as she couldn't feel her legs anymore.

Hive_Tyrant walked to the paralized body, and let out a loud screech meaning "anyone hwo opposes the hive shall feel our rath!!" he hopped on her, ready to strike with his seconed jaw...she moved her head so the jaw would'nt hit her face, but it hit her other arm.Vasques screemed in pain, when she saw her disabled arms and legs...

On his back, Cory looks through his thermal visionless visor. Seeing in actual Yautja vesion as Kidd gets up. Cory looks over to his left. His combistick rolled against the wall. Cory grabbed it and as Kidd walked up to Cory, Cory swung the combistick under Kidd's feet and ripped a chuck of flesh clean off his ankle. Kidd hit the ground shouting in pain.

Cory bends his knees into the air and throws them out landing on his feet. Cory glared down at Kidd once more. A line of blood seaps down his face from his head where he was kicked. Matching blood covers Cory's claw on his right foot. Cory r his combistick in the air aiming down at Kidd. Cory swings down towards the ground where Kidd looked into the reflection of himself on the shiny combistick. Quickly, Kidd rolls over to his right and dodges the combistick. The combistick punctures the floor in the hallway. Cory was kneeling on one knee trying to ripp the combistick out of the ground. Kidd had the advantage. Kidd got up and started kneeing Cory in the stomach.

After the continueous knees to the stomach, Kidd starts elbowing Cory on the back. Kidd's elbow smacks into Cory's plasma generator. Kidd holds his elbow in pain. He seemed to have broke it. Kidd howls once more. Cory seizes to pull the combistick out and smacks Kidd across the face with his left gauntlet. His melted side arm blade not only slices into Kidd's cheak but it digs acidic Xenomorph blood into it.

Kidd leaps back as Cory gets up. Kidd whips the blood off his cheak and gets himself together. Cory rises in full length. He tilts his head to the side and snaps it following with a snarl from his mandibles. While Cory did this, Kidd pulled out his combat knife out of his boot quickly and tosses it at Cory. He covers himself with his arms. The knife slices into the elbow of Cory's left arm. It went in deep. Cory squeels... Yautja blood had been spelt. "Thats for ma elbow, you smelly, ulgy beast!" Kidd says pulling himself together. Cory grabs the knife out of his elbow with his right hand. Green blood squirts out onto the floor.

He squeezes Kidd's combat knife in his fist and the handle snaps. The blade was ripped off the handle. Cory drops the broken combat knife onto the ground. Kidd looks into Cory's visors. He could almost see his devilish Yautja eyes staring back at him. The muscules above his eyes squinted together making a demonic glare. Cory swings his massive arms out and lets out a roar.

Kidd looks over to Hyro, and with a nod, he tells the Squad Leader of his action,"Sir, I'm going out to the other men who are outside. If you need us, give us a call." The tall marine walks away from the group and head outside. Looking up at the dark sky, he felt the difference in tempature as the sky slowly showing signs of Morning and he looks over at one of the Marines,"Is it just me or the air just got warmer?" The marine responded,"Sir, I did not feel any change in Tempature yet." Kidd then shifts his gaze up at the sky, knowing what they are on is able to support Life, but not able to reflect the violent raze of the sun, Kidd then suggested to them the plan, if the sun comes up, they would have a hardtime dealing with it. For the metal on their ship also this alien one also, may melt into the Floating Rock that they are on.

The Sergeant, then sits with the man on the guard for enemies, along with a few other marines. Kidd sat on the ground, with his back propped up against a rock, knees up, and head leaning down. He thinks of the crisis that they are in and tries to find a solution to their cause. One of the marines then move over and sat with Kidd noticing something on his face and asks him if he was wounded. Kidd looked up at the man in confusion, but after the marine, points to his own eyebrow, Kidd then openned and remembered it. The Sergeant told him it was nothing but a scratch that he had recieve in the crash landing. So the marine took his leave and return to his position, leaving Kidd to his thoughts, until it is his turn to Take Watch.

it was Kaizen he had found another way in he said lower ur wepons its only me he had come forward cory pointed his combi at Kaizens head cory obviously diddent trust Kaizen.Kaizen himself wasnt quite sure why he was acting this way it was aslike he had something to hide from the two preds but they continued through the cave until they came to four hall ways then they heard screeching coming from the hall ways it sounded like ailens

Cory and BW had gotten away from the harsh rays of the sun. The cave they used for protection was very humid, thick fog filled a long hall-way type structure in the cave making it hard to see but still still able to navigate,
the only sound that could be heard in the cave was drops of water that dropped from the ceiling & hit the floor, almost instantly evaporating as the temperature in the cave rose slightly. Both Cory and Bw were breathing heavily as the ran through the cave, they both stopped in front of a large pool of water. "looks like there is no way across" Bw said to Cory, but a smile came across Cory's face as he had an idea, "Lets go for a swim then" Cory said.....................

BW and Cory dived into the water, there masks still making them able to see alittle better up ahead. Cory stopped and looked ahead, he swam off into a small hole in the rocks, Bw followed and then they took a right and went straight up into a bright patch in the water.
Light reflected off of the 2 hunters helmets as their heads came up through the hole, they both got out of the water and into a large hidden cave, with 2 hallway like structurs going through it. Cory & BW took the left path. It was surprisingly easy to get through the cave, there were large crystals that appeared on the wall and seemed to illuminate the cave.

But there were footsteps echoing throughout the opposite end of the cave, was it the other fellow preds? or was it xeno's? Neither one knew, but whatever it was was coming straight for them......................................

Hive_Tyrant ran to the hive as fast as he can, regenerate, finally he came to a halt inside the hive's cave. Minutes later vasques stopped and watched in horrer as she saw hundreds of aliens comming out of the cave, Hive_Tyrant stepped out of the crowd with his regenerated arms and let out a loud screech wich meant "This is my kill!" the rest of the hive stepped back a couple feet, as Hive_Tyrant let out another screech wich meant "Your in our territory now!!" Tyrant quikly tackled vasques down hurting her disabled arm...

A set back shadowblade hadn't calculated. But one he would ammend. He had to - the sound of a dozen Xenomorph drones littered the trench he had escaped into - before him, nothing but empty darkness.

A growl spat from the rogues mouth as he listened intently, the scuttling of hard meat getting closer. From the corner of his eye he looked out and caught a glimpse of Stalker boldly crawling into the safety of the cool trench, bravely dragging the doc with him - perhaps K20 had chose fitting warriors to continue the Balatu legend....

It was then, that it happened. From the darnkness two Xenomorphs lept out at the Hunter, his hip still impaled to the wall. The first drone lashed out with it's claws, shattering what was left of Shadowblades mask, the rogue roared out in fury - the second drone lashed out with it's dagger ended tail but the rogue elder was too quick - grabbing the aliens tail he mightily dragged the drone forwards, pure hatred in his eyes, the hot spittle of the xenomorph showering the predators face. Shadowblade clapsed the Drones neck and forced the drone head first into the protruding spear coming from his hip, acid spewing over the weapon, melting it in seconds. As the spear broke away from his hip, shadowblade wrenched forward, tearing himself off the wall just in time to meet the second drone.

The xenomorph went in for a swift bite, teeth nashing - with one huge scaled hand, shadowblade slammed the beasts jaw shut and drove his wristblades deep into the underside of the xenomorphs jaw, roaring with authority.

Metal hissed and popped, the Yautjas wrist blades turned into a slimy pulp as they disolved. Shadowblade looked down at the two kills and grunted. Even wounded, the ever present arrogance was still there.

Claws on rock. Tails whipping. More xenomorphs were coming, and now, shadowblade was out of weapons. Looking deep into the caverns, the rogue knew it was time to get creative.

With an ironic growl, the predator knelt down beside one of the dead drones and rammed his hand into the aliens' throat, with a powefull tug, shadowblade wrenched out the Ebony beasts second jaw, again he did this with the other fallen drone. Stubbing them into the ground to remove any last trace of acid, shadowblade took one of the second jaws and prepared to make a crude weapon. pulling back the release cacth on his speargun, the rogue forced the aliens second jaw into the firing hatch, and loaded the gun. It wasn't pretty, but it would be extremely effective if it worked.

One last preperation before heading into the cavern - Shadowblade took the stump of his wristblade and stuck it sharply into the edge of one of the drones tails, pushing his foot onto the tail, he tore off the edge, roaring with delight, the hunter now had a makshift shiv, one that would do enough damage to continue his quest to get off this rock......
