Something snapped.

In the deep dark recesses of my brain something clicked.

Something strange.

I had stopped thinking.

No more calculation of the velocity of my blade.

No more friction forces and the physics of the splatter.

Nothing

I had hit the zone, I had reached another level. And it felt fucking great . Me and DD began running. Once we began combat I just took swings at FH, i jumped and dived. I was beautiful, They all point and laugh, They laughed at me. They said i would never be able to hunt. Now watch me.

I was slowly hacking him down and he couldn't lay a hit on me. My muscles didn't need to be told, They knew what to do. My maul became an extension of my wrist, I was in a state of complete perfection.

Eventually i had reduced the Xenomorph to the floor. I began swinging towards the neck, Hacking and hacking at it. It was as thick as a tree trunk but i just didn't care. This wasn't a red mist, It was more. It was so much more.

The acid had worn down my maul until it was un-useable.

So i proceeded to put my foot on its chest, my hands on its head.

I looked it straight into the eyes and ripped its fucking head off.

I was dominant, I was king. Gods look at me and tremble.

A powerful and deep roar resonated through the forest, A kill had been made.

"I'm sorry" I said while falling to my knees. "I don't know what came over me. Sometimes i forget it's a team effort."

"You ripped his.." DD said.

"I know, We may have ships that approach the speed of light and the ability to destroy worlds. But when it comes down to it, We're all born of the same beast"

         “I finally caught up to Bloo. Now do what you guys gotta do.”
          -You what?!-
         ”I’m gonna distract Bloo, now you guys can carry on with that plan with the preggo and –“
          -You imbecile. She will kill you.-
         ”Yeah, but she’ll probably kill Red, too, and that’s what you wanted anyway, yeah?”
          -The plan was never to kill the royal parasite residing within your chest cavity. The plan was to prevent it from growing into a new Queen while this plan was underway.-
         ”…”
          -We have plans for the parasite. Plans involving setting it loose against the Elder Council.-
         I don’t…
          -I cannot spare the details as of yet. Just get out of there, and make sure the royal parasite does not escape from your body.-
         ”WAIT. HOLD THE FUCK UP. YOU… You aren’t going to take it out of me?”
          -I…
         Yes, we were going to take you captive and wait for the royal parasite to birth itself in controlled conditions within our ship. And yes, you would have been the host. We see no reason in taking it out of you. You are human, and therefore one of the closest living things to a “pure” host.-
         ”You bastard.”
          -Shit happens.
         ~~~~~~~ -
         ”Hey! HEY!
          GODDAMMIT.”

––––––––––––––––––

          -Come in. No, I know you have been busy, but this is urgent. Yes, exactly, our plans have been compromised. Get in there, take Jim in and spare Bloo for the time being. Kill the rest.-

––––––––––––––––––

          “Fuck. Fuck. FUCK.”
          ’jim sounds sad!’
          “Goddamn it. Now I have to steal one of their ships.”
          ’voice, where are you? jim is sad and I don’t know what to do!!
          *The bad old lady changed her mind. The bad old lady wants to kill you now. You have no choice – you and Jim will be dead now. I can’t help you.*
          ’oh nooooo’

Jim’s Journal #1

         “I found a recording device on me. ‘Pparently I recorded a bunch o’ shit, but I don’t remember any of it. Fuckin’ whack. I don’t know what the fuck drugs I was on, but I sounded like a whack British douchebag in an Italian dinosaur exhibit, like some Ben Stiller Night at the Museum bullshit. Anyway, let me describe what the hell just happened to me.”

         “So I was running for Bloo, and I thought I was doin’ a pretty good job. Suddenly, the Yautja I was talkin’ to just told me I was always meant to die, which is bullshit. I started running away when I tripped, and this Xenomorph I hadn’t seen yet decided to creep on me and lick me with its second jaw, which was shady as fuck. She looked like one of them female panthers, bein’ all sneaky and cat-like – you know, what the fuck are they called? A lioness with black fur? A DarkLioness?
         Anyway, so I thought this bitch was gonna kill me, but then she licks my cheek and hisses in the direction I was running toward. I didn’t know why, so then I started running again, but then she grabs my leg and pulls me down to the ground, but not to kill me – no, it was as if she was protecting me from something.

         And then she came.

         There she was: Bloo, in all her big ass crystalline glory. I never knew why she was whitish rather than black like the rest of them. But there she was, running toward me like I was a big ol’ fat salmon stuck between some rocks and she was a food-deprived Russian bear.”
          ’oh noooooo!’
          ’jim, move! jim! darklioness, reeza, help!
         ”I couldn’t move at the moment. I dunno, man. It was just terrible. I was paralyzed. It didn’t help that Red kept squirming around in my chest.”
          -Jim, you stupid asshole. Give it up. I have sent one of my “agents” to collect you.-
         ”Holy shit, you just don’t quit, do you? How are you even still talking to me?”
          -That is not important, as we both know how we have been talking to each other and there is no need to explain it. It is not like there is an audience reading our conversation. You are the master of redundancy. Now, when my agent, Concrete Hunter, takes you, do not struggle, lest he set your penis on fire with our special shoulder-mounted broom stick.-
         ”Fuck you!”
          -I see. We have no choice but to set your penis on fire with our special shoulder-mounted broom stick.-

––––––––––––––––––

          -Hello, Concrete Hunter? Ah, you and Deathdrop killed Bloo’s Alpha Male? Perfect. Let us see if that does not impress the Elder Council. Now bring Jim in as soon as you can. See if Deathdrop cannot help you. And then shoot Jim’s penis off.-

––––––––––––––––––

         ”DarkLioness’s arms shot toward me, firmly grasping my torso for a second before throwing me out of Bloo’s way. The speed at which sh tossed me caused me to black out for a few seconds. Goddamn, those things are faster than they let on. And then you won’t believe it, another one of those red Xenomorphs darted toward Bloo! She head-butted Bloo right in the neck, knocking her over a good 15-20 feet. This Xenomorph was a goddamn giant compared to the normal ones – what, 9-10 feet? And she was fuckin’ bulky.”
          ’reeeeeeza!’
         ”This giant red bug glanced at me and then back at Bloo. A big ass amount of dust clouded this little patch of ground in an otherwise dense forest. For what seemed like an eternity, she, Bloo and DarkLioness only stared at each other while pounding the ground and snarling. I was fuckin’ frozen, man. I had no fuckin’ idea what to do.”
          *You bitches. Get the fuck out of my way.*
          `HA HA HA. FUCK YOU.`
          ’reeza, just give her back darklioness, maybe she’ll go away!
         wait, that voice…
          oh
          noooooooooooooooooo
          she is the bad old lady!’
          `OH MY GOD, FINALLY.`
          *I just want Jim and Hedy.*
          `AND THEN WHAT?`
          *And then nothing. I want nothing to do with Red.*
          `REALLY?`
          *Yes. So I’m going to kill her. Tie up loose ends.
But first I’m going to kill you and your new fuckbuddy, DarkLioness.*
         ”This probably only went on for a minute or two, but I was so goddamn frozen in the moment. SO frozen.
          `JIM IS SO FROZEN RIGHT NOW.`
         ”The giant red Xeno reminded me of my favorite rapper, RZA, from the Wu-Tang Clan. I don’t know why. There’s virtually no reason for me to think this. But if anyone actually gets to read this journal entry, I’ll call that huge big bug Reeza, just for easy reference.
         Anyway, like I was sayin’, they just stood there in a sort of Mexican Stand-Off until Bloo began inching toward my direction. Something was off about this. She didn’t even look at me – it was as if she only did this to piss off the smaller Xenomorphs. Then her entire body vigorously shook like a jackhammer into concrete. This is when Reeza and DarkLioness switched positions with Reeza holding her spot in front of me as DarkLioness taunted Bloo. They went at it like fuckin’ roosters at a cock fight, twirling and ripping at each other’s skin with no mercy.
         One of them bellowed confidently as the other squealed in pain. Again, Bloo pounded the ground. Lioness flipped upright and slammed her tail into Bloo’s side, briefly shocking her. Goddamn! Small as she was, Lioness could hold her own. She then vaulted onto Bloo’s shoulder and bashed her in the face, further knocking the blue behemoth backward. They both snapped to opposite ends of the field, arms ready.
         Reeza attempted to strike, only to miss and have her tail smashed into the ground by Bloo’s foot. This stunt dug a small crater into the ground. The impact was astonishingly loud – debris exploded into every direction. DarkLioness’s body shielded me.
         With a loud THUD!, Bloo rolled over and lobbed DarkLioness at a nearby tree, attempting to nab me in the process. Reeza battered Bloo’s side and sent her tumbling into the same tree that previously stopped Lioness’s flight. Shit, dude. You should have seen it. Bloo soared incredibly smooth for a Queen, especially one at her age and size. This greatly testified to Reeza’s strength.”
          `GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU BITCH.`
         ”What a strong motherfucker.”
          `I AM A STRONG MOTHERFUCKER.`
         ”She wouldn’t stop roaring. She was obviously very proud of what she just did; her bark was terrifyingly deafening. It echoed all throughout the forest, foreshadowing the rage that was ‘bout to come. But Bloo got up without a second thought, as if what just happened didn’t faze her at all. In fact, she was still smiling. Did these assholes have emotions? Jesus Christ.
         DarkLioness was briefly stunned by Bloo’s own screams, which stopped Reeza’s roaring. Bloo’s dirty white complexion, slathered with dirt and saliva, beamed with the type of raw aggression you’d only expect from a thug looking at a cop. Shit was absolutely terrifying, man. You’d have to see it to believe it.
         SO terrifying.”
          ’you’re a bad old lady, bloo! reeza, i want them to help you!’
          `ARE YOU… ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?`
          ’yes! i don’t want you two to die!’
          `OKAY, BUT THEY’RE NOT GONNA LIKE THAT I WOKE THEM UP FROM THEIR NAP.`
          *Who is “them,” and why should it matter? Just give me Jim you blubbering twatfucks.*
         ”I ain’t no weatherman, but I’m pretty sure it’s rainin’ bitches!”
          ’noooo’
          -Concrete Hunter? Deathdrop? Get in there quick. It sounds like they are about to kill each other. Stupid assholes.-

Patiently Tawganator sat and waited for Badapple to finish his meal bequeathed by DarkLioness. Keeping a look out for any more Hunters that might try to sneak up on them. Though he didn't watch the hungry Runner fill his gullet with the flesh of the slain beast, the sounds were enough to make him sick to the stomach, and the smell was getting almost unbearable. Tawganator had considered partaking in this rare cuisine but the taste of Human is what he craved. It had been so long.

Just then the horrid roar of a dying Firehunter echoed through the forest followed by a deafening silence of the world. Tawganator and Badapple both stood there in a state of disbelief to what they had both just heard. Tawganator tried but couldn't sense the presence of Firehunter any more. About to signal to the others to move out he noticed the odd fact that DarkLioness was gone. There was nothing they could do for Firehunter, he was now dead so Tawganator took Badapple with him to follow the trail of DarkLioness.

Moving through the vegetation at an impressive speed (Badapple holding back so Tawganator could keep up) the two came upon the most curious of sights. DarkLioness and big Warrior that they did not recognise doing battle with the Queen Bloo. Tawganator was furious. Why was DarkLioness with this Warrior against there Queen?

Badapple was quick and came to his Queens aid and moved to attack the unknown Warrior. Tawganator was about to join against the traitors but the Human Jim caught his attention. Were they fighting over food while the beasts were killing? The moment he felt it Tawganator began to understand. The new Queen.

Bad apple hissed seeing the queen being attacked by The warrior, Leaping to Bloo's side He screeched, and attacked Dark lioness. "YOU BITCH" He screeched and tried to kill the warrior with his inner jaw before being kicked off by Dark lioness. Bad apple looked at the new claw marks in his gut and acid pouring out making the grass and ground steam as it became goop from the acid. Bloo screeched and looked down at Bad apple who again crouched down on all fours screeching. The battle had begun

"Ever wanted to see two queens rip eachother apart?"

I turned and began springing. Never a moments peace. Not once.

Why cant i have the normal hunts, Where you kill Xenomorphs.

No fucking conspiracy, No unnamed adviser that i have to obey. But the worst thing, The WORST thing is that i keep getting leaves caught on my mask's tusks. It make's me look like I've been giving a tree cunnilingus.

The only reason i do this is because i like my fingers.

.:Res ms aser fasd rpif:.

.:Excuse me?:.

.:Sorry, It's hard to swap between Yautja and Human language, Can you hurry up:.

.: You realize that nowhere in the "Do this or we take your fingers" agreement does it say i cant come over to your little hidey hole and gouge out your eyes :.

.:Are all hunters this agressive?:.

.: I'm one of the nice ones :.

Suddenly, A bead of liquid hit my arm.

* Fizzle

A gentle sound of pitter patter began.

"It's raining, We need to take cover in the temple" I said in that politely spoken urgency I'm so very good at.

As Concrete took off, Deathdrop looked down at the decapitated monstrosity.

"You ripped his head off." he repeated stupidly. This predalien had represented something, had been a demon to be overcome. It was fate that had brought them together in mortal combat, and Concrete had ripped it's fucking head off.

"So much for for a settling of accounts, you anticlimactic piece of shit!" he yelled, kicking the corpse for good measure. Cetanu's balls, even the Xenomorphs had no sense of drama anymore...

His mandible tapped the recording button inside his mask.

"Note to self: stay near Concretehunter if you want to stay alive."

Deathdrop tore into the trees after Concrete. "Where the hell are you going?!"

That was when it started raining. Oh, that was beautiful. The way things were going, all his equipment would seize up just as they entered the hive. He put the thought out of his mind and continued after Concretehunter.

          -Sorry, it is hard to swap between Yautja and human language. Please hurry up.-
          .:You realize that nowhere in your “Do this or we take your fingers” agreement does it say I can’t come over to your little “hidey-hole” and gouge your eyes out.:.
          -Are all you Hunters this aggressive?-
          .:I’m one of the nice ones.:.

––––––––––––––––––

          -The weather seems unfavorable at the moment. This presents nothing if not a nice little challenge.-
          .:It’s raining, we need to take cover in the temple.:.
          -You speak that in a politely spoken urgency, and you seem very good at it.-
          +Where the hell are you going?!+
          -He is running to a nearby temple, though that action will prove to be a giant waste of time. The monsoons showering the planet typically last days, you stupid assholes.-

––––––––––––––––––

          -Dto, how goes the stew?-
          .-look, it’s finished-.
          -Dto, this is the worst piece of shit I have ever tasted.-
          .-shut your hole you-.
          -Shame to your family. Shame to your cow.-
          .-ok phone well maybe i won’t do any tracking for you, remember who found bloo-.
          -How the fuck did I get stuck with a Youngblood in this shitstorm? Has no one else survived this ordeal? This tiny fucking shed is driving me crazy.-
          .-maybe you should talk to jim again-.
          -Your first and undoubtedly last intelligent suggestion. Get me my fucking fruit. You are a jackass.-
          .-i cum from royal blood so fuck you-.
          -I am sighing really hard in your general direction.-

––––––––––––––––––

          -Jim, you stupid asshole. Give it up. I have sent one of my “agents” to collect you.-
         ”Holy shit, you just don’t quit, do you? How are you even still talking to me?”
          -That is not important, as we both know how we have been talking to each other and there is no need to explain it. It is not like there is an audience reading our conversation. You are the master of redundancy. Now, when my agent, Concrete Hunter, takes you, do not struggle, lest he set your penis on fire with our special shoulder-mounted broom stick.-
         ”Fuck you!”
          -I see. We have no choice but to set your penis on fire with our special shoulder-mounted broom stick.-

          ’oh noooooo’

––––––––––––––––––

          -Jim is a stupid asshole.
          He does not realize he is crucial in my revenge against the Elder Council. After The_Doctor and PREDATORv2 complete their quest with the pregnant human, I will amass an army of human clones to host the royal I. Raptus’s new hive. This royal I. Raptus, “Red,” must be born of a pure-bred human, and so the host she currently resides in is the most ideal.
         Do you not see the genius of my plan, Dto, or are you as stupid as your father, who was a fool to challenge Deathdrop Sr. while the latter was on his drugs?-
          .-what ladder-.
          -You. Fucking. Idiot.-

––––––––––––––––––

          *DarkLioness, I should have left you to die on the exploding human ship 700 years ago. This bullshit ends now.*

DarkLioness was pondering her situation. Her mother was yet to be born, her host was still alive and that left her vulnerable to attack. In order to keep her mother from being killed, DarkLioness would have to face off against Bloo. That traitor, how DarkLioness felt disgusted calling that THING her Queen! Tied to serve Bloo but now she knew what was the truth. There was a new Queen and the new Queen was indeed DarkLioness real mother and she would protect her at all costs, even the cost of her own life. It was in her blood, it was her purpose in life to make sure the Queen was safe and protected. DarkLioness was a Warrior after all, a creature born for battle. DarkLioness made a plan to find the Human and get it somewhere safe. She could careless about Humans in her mind Humans were nothing more the food, hosts and nice for venting her pent up anger on especially during battle. DarkLioness kept low to the ground, Bloo's vile stench was in the air which meant that broad was very close. She refused to refer to the smell as a scent! Bloo wasn't worthy of such. Bloo was no different than the Hunter she mutilated and ate alive as far as DarkLioness cared. She just had to keep Bloo away from Mother and the Human.

While slipping away DarkLioness heard running foot-steps and then a loud thud. DarkLioness was once again poised for an attack but whatever was running didn't sound right. It wasn't another Xenomorph and it certainly wasn't a Hunter. She could hear the creak of their armour a mile away, stupid things. DarkLioness continued to creep forward and right there, before her eyeless face was what she was seeking out. The Human! It looked out of breath but that didn't matter a whole lot. She could sense Mother within the creature's chest, she seemed worried which in turn made DarkLioness's currant mission more urgant. DarkLioness moved towards the creature which seemed surprised and frightend to see her. Normally this would have pleased DarkLioness very much but right now keeping the Human in good condition was a must. As far as she could tell the Human was a male, dark complextion and seemed healthy enough. Lioness extended her inner mouth near the Human's face, hmmm he would have been quite tasty but alas this was a meal she would not enjoy. Although she did go as far as to touch her inner mouth to the Human's cheek. After her initial check on the Human DarkLioness tensed when heard a low growl, turning the direction the Human came from. She hissed loudly and raised her tail up in a defensive position. Bloo. That bitch was hunting the Human which meant she was hunting Mother. DarkLionesss turned back around only to notice that the Human had taken off running! Damnit! DarkLioness bolted after the Human catching up to him in no time, she tripped the Human by grabbing him by the legs and pulled him down to the ground and gave a low hiss. Just as she had suspected Bloo burst from the trees running towards the Human and her. The Human was frozen in fear behind her but DarkLioness shielded him from Bloo, her tailed poised to strike at the brutes legs. The Human made a noise as if it was in pain, her Mother must have been moving around. Bloo was upsetting her terribly. DarkLioness made a mental note to rip Bloo's brain out of that ugly skull of her's when she got the chance. The speed at which Bloo was running meant she was going to trample the Human. Thinking fast DarkLioness grabbed the Human and flung him out of the way , to keep him out of reach of Bloo's slimy claws. Which were in fact slimy. She might have thrown him too hard but she wasn't sure yet. Before Bloo could do anything a large red Warrior that DarkLioness had never seen before came out of nowhere and proceeded to head-butt Bloo in her neck knocking her down. How come she had never seen this red Warrior before? Also, why was the Warrior almost as big as FireHunter? The mysterious red Warrior looked down at the Human and DarkLioness, huh, the red Warrior was slightly taller than herself but was bulkier.

Then Bloo snarled at them which turned her attention back to the deceptive Preatorian who morphed into a Queen. Her claws raked as she growled in unbridled hatred at Bloo. She had the nerve to order her and the red Warrior to move. What right did she have?!

*Over my dead body traitor! You are not my Queen nor my Mother. I will not move out of your way!*

The other Warrior taunted Bloo, then DarkLioness heard her mother speak. She wanted the red Warrior, Reeza was what she heard possibly from her mother, to give her back to Bloo? What was that all about? She didn't want to go back to Bloo, she hated Bloo! Until she heard the rest of what her mother said. If she were capable of it DarkLioness would have laughed out loud.

*Bad Old Lady? Sounds very fitting. Out with the old in the with new.* Bloo didn't like that part to much, too bad.

Now Bloo was going on about something called "Hedy". What in the eight levels of hell was a Hedy? Bloo said she just wanted Hedy, greedy old roach. Bloo was saying something about wanting nothing to do with "Red" Ah! Red must have been Mother's name. So she must be a red Queen! Of course! Besides red was such a lovely color, it was the color of the blood of the Humans. It always looked pretty whe mixed in with her saliva and bites of flesh and bone. Darklioness thought about the burst of blood that would come from the host once Mother was born. Red and red, how fitting. Then Bloo insulted Reeza and Darklioness. Wait what did she just call her? A fuckbuddy?! Ohhh she was going to enjoy tearing Bloo apart and watching Bloo die while she choked on her own tail when she shoved it down her throat. Then Bloo began moving towards the Human, which by now she learned was named "Jim". Jim?. What kind of name was Jim? DarkLioness and Reezz switched places, Reeza guarded Jim while DarkLioness faced off with Bloo. Bloo roared at the demented Warrior who screeched back at the traitor. DarkLioness decided to taunt Bloo and try to get her to do something stupid. She hissed and howled at Bloo in anger saying:

*Your time has come old one, are you scared? Does this remind you of when you killed OUR first Mother? You should know by now that if I weaken you enough to bring you to the ground, your death will be slow and agonizing.*

Bloo said something else but the Warrior ignored her, instead DarkLioness deacided reach out to her Mother, Red and to the mysterious Warrior, Reeza.

*Mother? Can you hear me? It's me, DarkLioness. I'll keep you safe and so will Reeza. Oh Reeza? How come no one has seen you before?!*

Ok enough chatter, time to kill the traitor. DarkLioness and Bloo charged at another slashing at one another with their claws, tails and their teeth. Bloo's tail slapped DarkLioness across her back, the sharp tip went deep enough to leave a deep cut on the Warrior's back. DarkLioness dropped to the ground on her side and shrieked in pain while Bloo roared in triumph at seeing the pain she caused. Bloo stomped on the ground, likely still celebrating.

*SHUT UP!*

DarkLioness flipped herself upright and int he process slashed her tail into the side of Bloo's body which was more than enough to shut her up. Now that Bloo was stunned for the moment DarkLioness leaped up onto Bloo's shoulder and used every ounce of strength she had to slap Bloo in the face with her tail. The momentum was enough to knock that traitorous piece of filth backward. Thinking fast DarkLioness leaped off of Bloo's should and back onto the ground, DarkLioness had her arms ready to tear at Bloo should she attempt to charge. That when Reeza charged Bloo and tried to get in a got hit but missed her mark. Bloo stomped on the red Warrior's tail causing dirt and rock to fly upwards into the air. DarkLioness realized that Jim was left unprotected and darted to he to keep the rain of debris from hitting him. Humans were a weak species and even a slight blow could knock them out or kill them, DarkLioness gave a growl of pain when a large rock smackhed her across her head she barely had time to turn and look at Jim when Bloo rolled over and struck her. DarkLioness was sent flying back first into a tree that crack on empact, DarkLioness dropped to the ground with a solid thud. She laid still for a few seconds, stunned and unable to move and hardly noticing Bloo trying to grab for Jim yet again, but soon enough she was back on her feet. DarkLioness shook herself before she shrieked in shock and darted away from the tree she had been slapped into. After all, she didn't want to end up being squashed by Bloo who had gone airborn and crashed into the same tree. DarkLioness looked in the direction Bloo had flown from and saw Reeza there, despite not knowing much about this red Warrior DarkLioness noted that she was very strong. Reeza roared triumphantly at her feat of tossing Bloo, or whatever happend, as if Bloo were a mere Chestbuster. Bloo was soon back on her feet her and appeared to be smiling.

*What are you smiling about?*

She didn't get an asnwer but instead had to endure Bloo's annoying screaming. Oh yes, the first thing she was going to do was rip out Bloo's vocal cords if she could get closer to her throat. The mere thought of slashing through Bloo's throat sent a gleeful shudder through DarkLioness. Ah, what fun it would be to cause Bloo a slow death, as if she were nothing more than a pathetic Hunter. Now Mother and Reeza were talking about someone or something called "them", Reeza didn't seem to want to wake them up. But they were sorely needed now, whoever they were

*Mother? Reeza? What are you talking about? Of course wake these "Them" that you speak of! We need their help! Anything to to further weaken Bloo!*

DarkLioness moved closer to Reeza, Bloo was stilling snarling. She was really getting tired of Bloo speaking. So DarkLioness turned and roared at Bloo saying:

*For the last time.....SHUT THE HELL UP!*


DarkLioness heard an enraged screech and found herself suddenly under attack by BadApple who tackled her and snapped at her head with his inner mouth. DarkLioness dislodged the Runner with a sharp kick to his abdomen that tossed him a good six feet away from her. Bloo looked down at BadApple screeched when she saw him, no doubt over the deep claw marks in his abdomen. Such a pity really, DarkLioness actually liked BadApple. Oh well, she had choosen to protect her Mother over serving Bloo. So by default she and BadApple were now enemies and DarkLioness's enemies didn't have a good track record as for a surviving an encounter with her. But....where was Tawganator? He would have been around somewhere unless he was wunded or dead. DarkLioness looked around for him frantically and caught a brief glimpse of him. She made a mistake by turning her back on BadApple. Her attention was brought back to her new opponent when his claws dug into the back of her neck. DarkLioness dislodged the Runner again and took a swipe at him with her tail, missing him.

Where were those others that Red and Reeza were talking about when they needed them?

The long limb twitched, a tail jerked violently. It was dark, and Hedy was disoriented, there was a strange, dry material all around it. The Queen was nearby, two queens, one was hostile, one still unborn. Hedy sensed air coming in from a small opening in the bag, using its claw, it widened the hole until it came tumbling out into the fresh air. Looking from side to side, Hedy surveyed its surroundings and skittered into the trees without a second's warning, away from the Blue Queen, away from the Red Queen's host and protectors, and towards the first host it could sense. A predator, unable to move, pretty much already trapped in an area where the planet's acid rain would not touch it. Perfect.

The only issue was getting there, as the predator was a short kilometer off. Trapped in the jungle, clearly young and inexperienced. Predators don't get trapped that easily, or this one was simply stupid. When Hedy found the host, it saw the reason why the predator was incapable of movement. Its leg had been broken in a pothole in the jungle floor, its feeble attempts at keeping up a strong image were marred by infrequent groans of pain.

Hedy scuttled closer, the predator was unaware, weakening by the second, it removed its mask, attempting to breathe, and Hedy leaped straight onto the face, cutting off the young-blood's final roar of terror. The predator stood no chance, and soon its struggles ceased, and the body lay still.

Tawganator stood there in the rain watching what was happening before him. DarkLioness and Badapple killing each other, Bloo the Queen fighting against a new Warrior, the Human with the new Queen inside him. The situation was almost more than he could handle. He never felt right with Bloo as his Queen and something about the new unborn was familiar to him. And he was close to Badapple and DarkLioness, how could he call either one his enemy? The confusion of this situation was making Taganator angry, he couldn't decide on what action to take, his world was being drowned out by the rain.

DarkLioness screamed in pain as Badapple bit at her leg after dodging a tail swipe from the warrior, awakening Tawganator from the torment of his mind. Tawganator began moving in. DarkLioness began battering the Runner with her fists while he continued to gnaw at her leg. Tawganator grabbed the tail and one of the dorsal spines of Badapple and threw him aside. DarkLioness thanked him for the assistance and turned towards Bloo.

"Traitor"

DarkLioness felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and as the bladed tail tip pulled back, cutting into her even more, causing her to turn to face an enraged Tawganator. The Drone snarled at DarkLioness and with his long bony hand he puched her into the air, sending her into the feet of the large Warrior. "Traitor".

Bad apple landed on the ground with a surprisingly loud thud, He got back up ready to face Tawganator. But saw a different scene, Tawganator was apparently on his side,*Huh, guess that he didn't forget that he still owes me for cutting out the chip in his head* Bad apple thought. Bad apple hissed and leapt at Dark Lioness and Pinned her to the ground once again, only this time smashing his tail through Her other shoulder. Dark Lioness screamed as Bad apple dug further into the shoulder and more of her acid blood pouring out onto the ground. Bad apple hissed and was then scratched across the chest and some of his acid blood poured onto her face, just for more blindness Bad apple used a tactic he learned from Kirby. Bad apple spat out a large amount of acid onto Dark Lionesses face. She couldn't see. Bad apple hissed and mauled the top of Her head before being finally grabbed by the arm and chucked to the side like litter by Dark Lioness. "Screw Off!" Bad apple Screamed.

Grrr! Why wasn't Tawganator doing anything yet? Oh wait there he w-

DarkLioness growled in pain as the sharp tip of Tawganator's tail jabbed into her shoulder. What the hell?! Before she could react she was struck by the Drone and sent flying into Reeza's feet. Her shoulder hurt and blood poured from the wound, Reeza glanced down at her and hissed. DarkLioness hissed back to reassure her ally.

*Don't worry about me! Keep Mother safe!*

DarkLioness charged at Tawganator only to be attacked by BadApple again, who tackled and pinned her. She was slow in reacting this time and paid the price; BadApple's tail went clean through her already wounded shoulder, making her scream in pain. DarkLioness thrashed aroud in pain and in the process sliced her claws into BadApple's chest drawing fresh blood. Unlucky for the Warrior because the blood ripped in her face which obstructed her view. Gahh! Great! Just great! Now she couldn't-WHAT THE HELL?! BadApple spat a wad of acid into her face which completely blocked her sight. DarkLoness could hear BadApple hiss and before she knew it something was mauling and scratching at her head. DarkLioness screeched with both anger and pain before she was grabbed and tossed aside landing in a heap on the ground. DarkLioness hissed loudly in pain wipping the acid off her face with her hand, wincing as she moved her arm. Her shoulder was hurt badly but he wasn't disabled yet. She was still a capable fighter. DarkLioness slowly got back on her feet and looked at the two Xenomorphs with a faint sense of dread. Tawganator and BadApple had been companions of hers, particularly Tawganator. How could he not rememer what Bloo had done all those years ago? Did he not remember that Bloo had tried to kill them both 700 years ago? How Bloo morphed into a Queen and tried to kill their REAL mother? It seems that he didn't remember all of that, as for BadApple DarkLioness liked him well enough to share he most prized kill with him, well with both he and Tawganator: the Hunter she ate alive. The Drone and the red Runner hissed and growled at her with anger and hatred.


*Reeza, keep Mother safe while I handle the other two.*



So it had come to this huh? As much s DarkLioness would have hated to have to do this BadApple and Tawganator where now her enemies. And there was only one thing on DarkLioness's mind when it came to enemies: KILL THEM ALL! DarkLioness felt renewed by her fury and charged at BadApple first, he attacked her first so now he would pay the price for his slight. BadApple was ready for her to charge but he was unprepared for the level of viciousness she unleashed against him. She slashed her tail at BadApple's arm cutting into it and then tackling him at full speed and driving her inner mouth through BadApple's shoulder. A little pay back for the wound in her her shoulder which still stung. DarkLioness also took a small chunk of exoskeleton and flesh out of BadApple's shoulder, which she spat back into BadApple's face. Taking a page out of his playbook, DarkLioness spat a large wad of acid into BadApple's face as well and the slapped him across his face with her claws. They went deep enough to leaves some nasty looking gashes that would surely be scars when they healed up. Not that they would have a chance to heal up, corpses didn't heal. BadApple leapt back from DarkLioness thrashing his head back and forth and howling in pain, DarkLioness slashed her tail across BadApple's back several times like a whip. BadApple screamed in pain as DarkLioness sliced his back open again, and again and again. It must have hurt really badly. Not that DarkLioness really gave a damn about the Runner anymore. Before she could REALLY get into her attack she was tackled by Tawganator who tried to bite into her head. DarkLioness threw Tawganator off of her and turned her rage towards him.

*Funny you should call me a traitor when Bloo is the one who is the traitor. No matter about that though, now YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!*

DarkLioness charged at the unprepared Bloo and slammed into him kncoking the Drone to the ground. DarkLioness swiped her tail at Tawganator's chest leaving a wound, not deep enough to kill him yet but deep enough to cause a lot of pain. Good. He made another leap for her only to be smacked across the head by her tail, a blow strong enough to knock him sideways several feet away. Bloo roared at her but DarkLioness ignored her, she really wanted Bloo to shut up. DarkLiones slowly circled Tawganator as he writhed on the ground in pain. She'd wait for him to ge tup before she continued her attack. He was taking too long though and this only enraged her more.

*Hurry up and stand or I'll rip your vocal cords out and leave you to choke to death on your own blood!*

While waiting for retaliation Bloo hissed something at the Warrior that caught her attention.

*I'm not the one who decided to morph into a Queen against orders and then try to kill everyone! Plus you sucked as a Preatorian anyway!*

That Thing Outside the Shed

          `LIONESS, WHO ARE THESE TWO RABID MONKEY-FUCKERS, I WILL MERCILESSLY BEAT THEM WITH THE FOREBODING MIGHT OF THE INCREDIBLY LARGE AMOUNT OF “FUCK YOU” RESIDING WITHIN MY MIDDLE FINGERS, AND THEN I WILL TAKE EVERY LITTLE TRINKLE OF “UP YOUR ASS” PROTRUDING FROM MY TAIL BLADE AND SHOVE THEM UP THEIR NON-EXISTANT ASSHOLES AND THEN –`
          ’Reeza! Keep Mother safe while I handle the other two.’
          `OH, OKAY. COME HERE, JIM.`
          *But DarkLioness, I am safe! Ha ha!*
          -‘DarkLioness, you TRAITOR.’-
          ’Funny you should call me a traitor, Tawganator, when Bloo is the one who is the traitor. No matter. Now YOU’RE GOING TO DIE.’
         ”These motherfuckers were at it like ol’ Momz at a fuckin’ barbecue. God, Momz could never keep her hands off Pop’s cookin’. I wonder how they’re doin’ back in 2009.”
          *Ha ha ha ha! You’re Mother’s Xenomorph, for sure. There’s no other way you could be such a little bitch. If she were here right now, do you think she would be proud of you? Would you be her Praetorian RIGHT NOW? Her sweet little Praetorian? Do you think you were good enough for that? Please! You’re 800 years old and you aren’t MY Praetorian! Firehunter was a lucky little dipshit. I hated him more than you and he was still better than you. He’s dead and he’s better than you! Ha ha ha!*
         ”There was a lot of fuckin’ screaming. Could you imagine if they were actually saying shit to each other? God, it must be awful.”
          *Even as a Praetorian, I was completely above you.*
          ’I’m not the one who decided to morph into a Queen against orders and then try to kill everyone! And you were a terrible Praetorian!’
          ’and you’re mean!’

         ”Bloo stopped with her extensively boisterous cries and knocked Lioness up against a tree trunk. Absolutely awe-inspiring, and frankly, a little terrifying. Bark fragments erupted from beneath Lioness’s back and littered the entire battlefield; I dodged to the side without a second thought. Bloo’s tail swiped left and right with Lioness reacting accordingly. Neither of them would let up – scream, swipe, scream, swipe – eventually Bloo overwhelmed Lioness and straight PINNED her against that tree. Things were tense, man.
         The two other Xenomorphs would regularly switch between harassing Reeza and DarkLioness. They came outta nowhere, and I wasn’t gonna stick around long enough to see whether or not they would kill me.
         Reeza kept in front of me, but I could still see Lioness’s trembling body. Bloo kept her impenetrable grip on DarkLioness’s torso, inspecting her face with her gigantic inner-jaw. She was slobbering all over the place, unnervingly huffing and wheezing. Lioness ultimately broke free, but it seemed as if this was intentional on Bloo’s part – she clutched Lioness’s leg with expert timing and flung her across the field, RIGHT into Reeza. I barely managed to jump out of the way.”
          *Fly, child! FLY! Ha ha ha ha!*
         ”If one thing was fo’ sure, it’s that Bloo was a crazy ass bitch.”

It didn't take long, the Predator juddered and jolted, awake again as the demon was reborn from his chest, a final scream of defeat escaped his mouth before he exploded from within, his ribs gave way to something that would grow up to be mightier than anything he could ever have imagined. In a shower of green, a small, snake-like creature slithered from the body of its host, who, with his final flickers of vision, saw his own nightmare creep onto the ground in the ever-expanding pool of glowing green, stare him in the face, and screech in triumph.

FireHunter was reborn, and so quickly! Under a true Queen, but there was another Alpha here, and they would have to be disposed of. FireHunter's little body scampered back up into the old host, and with its sticky resin, cocooned the body. Its metabolism was in overdrive, it needed to recreate itself in time. Rapidly the cocoon broke down the chestburster and the host. The cells multiplied to create what had died less than an hour before. And in a span of minutes, the cocoon had grown and split, revealing a towering monster with slick black armour, almost twice the height of its host. Claws flexed, the black steel blended with the shadows, and if light were to touch it, one would see a slight tint of red.

FireHunter went back the way that Hedy had come. Crashing through the trees, determined to keep its Queen safe, it was finally free of the bonds that tied it to the Blue Queen, and it would return with a vengeance.

Well at least Mother was safe with Reeza guarding her and her host, Jim. Tawganator and BadApple hadn't yet regained their senses yet so that left Bloo open to a full out attack from the Warrior. She may have been smaller that Bloo but when she was determined to cause pain size didn't matter. DarkLioness charged at Bloo as fast as she could, hindered slightly by the wound in her shoulder roaring with rage. All she had to do was leap sideways and go for Bloo's legs-SMACK! DarkLioness shrieked as she flew through the air and smashed into the tree, hard enough to send bark flying everywhere. The Warrior was weakend by the impact and dropped to the ground and laid there for a considerable a few minutes. The loss of blood and her wounds sustained by battling Tawganator and BadApple were taking a toll on the demented Xenomorph. However, wounded or not DarkLioness wasn't going to give up this fight. If her actions meant the forfeiture of her own life then that would just have to do. As long as Bloo died and Red lived. DarkLioness hissed in pain as she stood up, the pain in her back and her shoulder seemed to have increased, when she turned to face Bloo she had to duck to avoid be smacked by Bloo's tail. DarkLioness charged closer screeching at Bloo before ducking a second time, the Warrior took a swing at Bloo's legs with her tail but the traitorous Queen moved quick enough to avoid be struck. Bloo screamed at DarkLioness and swiped at her again only to have her opponent return the favor. DarkLioness continued the exchange of swipes and bitter growls with Bloo, getting ever more closer to her target.

Perhaps a little too close, DarkLioness soon found herself pinned against the same tree Bloo smashed her into sending a fresh wave of pain through her back. She really hated that tree right now. Now she had something else to worry about, Bloo had a tight grip on her torso that hurt like hell. Was she going to rip her in half or crush her? DarkLioness didn't want to find her but her mobility was limited right now, plus the Warrior was left shaking under the grip of that traitor. A loud screech diverted DarkLioness's attention from Bloo back Tawganator and BadApple, the latter of which was creeping closer towards her. DarkLioness growled and swipe her tail at him, at least she could still move that. Tawganator was growling at Reeza who drove him back with a swipe of her claws only to find herself under threat from BadApple. Tawganator tried to get in cheap shot at DarkLioness by going for her leg, only to get smacked across his head with her tail. Reeza was still protecting Jim and Mother, now all DarkLioness had to do was break free from Bloo. Ick, now she had her inner mouth in her face and it didn't help that her drool was going all over the place. Plus her breathing was very annoying, very loud and annoying. Growling, DarkLioness thrashed a few times under Bloo's grip and was delighted when the pressure on her torso was reduced considerably. Only to feel Bloo's grip once again, this time instead of being on her torso the back-stabbing brute had grabbed her leg. DarkLioness hissed and curled her tail up to slice into Bloo's arm but it was too little too late. Bloo flung DarkLioness across the battlefield at high speed screeching, right in Reeza's general direction. This just wasn't her day was it? DarkLioness gave a short screech of pain when she collided with Reeza knocking them both to the ground, her already wounded shoulder was taking a beating. Reeza stood up first and roared at Bloo while DarkLioness crouched ont he ground needing a moment to collect herself. DarkLioness looked for Jim and noticed that the Human had jumped out of the way to avoid being crushed. Hmmmm.....that was quite intelligent. Bloo began taunting DarkLioness yet again much to the displeasure of the Warrior.

*I am not needed as a Praetorian at the moment Bloo. I'm sure Mother would be VERY proud of me, after all I'm not the one who turned against her!*


DarkLioness heard a faint screeching in the distance but disregarded it. Probably a Chestburster breaking out of it's host. If DarkLioness had eyes, she would have rolled them when she noticed Bloo was still ranting.


*At least I aged well during the past 800 years. I already knew of FireHunter's death, however it is YOUR death I look forward to.*

A crashing sound echoed in the distance this time, like something was tearing through them. But....what was it? Had Mother or Reeza contacted the mysterious "Them" they were talking about or was it something else? More so that crashing noise was getting closer and closer. Something was coming. Something big.


*Reeza! I need you to keep a closer watch over Mother and Jim! Something else is coming!*


DarkLioness thought back to the Chestburster screech she heard earlier, wondering if the new addition would side with Bloo or Red. If it sided with Bloo then she would have an even better chance of killing it quickly. It would be unknown to her abilities thus making her kill easier. If it sided with Red then that would make this battle even. Bloo and Tawganator hissed at DarkLioness who returned the favor by coiling her tail above her back like a scorpion. DarkLioness could sense the presence of the unknown Xenomorph heading their way and wondered what it could have been. Yet another Queen to challenge Bloo or Red? Or perhaps a Predalien, after all there was only one Human on the planet and that would been Jim and he already had a host within. The Chestburster must have been a Predalien that hatched from a Hunter dumb enough to take off his mask. It's such a shame the FireHunter was gone, he was sorely needed right now.

Its amazing that the hunters hadn't followed Kirby when he ran into the several Hours ago but then again even a predator would have problems keeping up with a runner on a full tilt sprint through the woods, Kirby had even picked a small cave to wait for the hunters should they had managed to follow him but alas as the hours went by and no hunter showed up trying to kill Kirby, he finally felt it was safe to leave and report back to Bloo. Kirby was so focused on looking for any hunters that he didn't even notice it starting to rain.


Finally, as Kirby was running though the woods, Kirby heard crashing sounds coming from up ahead and Kirby was surprised that he saw a Predalien crashing though everything in the forest *FireHunter?* Kirby thought to himself as the Predalien continued to leave a trail of mayhem though the woods But then Kirby heard what sounded like Bloo in the far distance and the same way the Predalien was traveling. * Bloos free? Is it that time of the millennium already? If that was Bloo then I almost feel sorry for the poor Hunter that dared to enrage her...I remember hearing the story of what Bloo did to her mother; and it wasn't a hug of love ethier! Some thing about a head being shoved up the old egg chute...*


Something was off about this Predalien, as far as Kirby knew there was only one Predalien in the Hive and that was FireHunter, but this Predalien just seems...different almost....rouge. Kirby continued to follow behind the Predalien but kept his distance.

Bad apple hissed looking over at the magnificent queen. The tension was about to kill bad apple, he couldn't take it anymore, he began to creep up on Dark Lioness until she was thrown over his head by Bloo "Fly Bitch fly!" Bad apple heard bloo screech. Bad apple turned around and Dark Lioness stood up and leapt at bad apple. Bad apple launched himself at her and they linked arms crashing into each other,The warriors skull was much thicker than anticipated and Bad apple's skull was slightly cracked open. "Ouch" Bad apple hissed while disoriented. We both stood up though and Bad apple was ready for another attack

FireHunter burst into the clearing, the Blue Queen stood tall in the middle, being vocal as usual. The Red Queen's host sat on the edge, but that wasn't what bothered FireHunter in the slightest. Its vision turned straight to Reeza, the competitor for the Alpha position. FireHunter made a beeline for her. BadApple was swiped away with a ferocious back-handed strike and almost immediately Reeza was within its grasp. FireHunter dwarfed her, a solid two feet, maybe two and a half, separated them in height, it could sense Reeza's confusion as the huge claws wrapped around her head and FireHunter roared straight into her face before tossing her to the ground and bearing over her, tail raised, a display of dominance.

Reeza seemed unwilling to relinquish her position, but made no attempt to fight back. FireHunter's foot firmly held her tail down and its own tail plunged downwards through her chest, a screech of pain echoed from her throat. Her claws scrabbled on the dark exoskeleton, unable to do more damage than mere scratches. FireHunter was superior, and now she knew it, but the beast would have to tie up loose ends, to make sure she didn't ambush it later in a feeble attempt to re-secure herself as Alpha. FireHunter flipped her over, its own tail ripping from her chest and its foot planting itself on her back. Strong claws wrapped themselves around her tail and pulled it off, FireHunter quickly discarded the appendage and increased pressure on her ribcage, flattening her chest under a tonne of bone, chitin and muscle. Her cries became whispers as she weakened, and FireHunter reached down, grabbing a hold of both arms and tearing them off in a brutal show of dominance. Not just to Reeza, but to all of the xenomorphs, FireHunter stepped off of the competitor and lifted her crushed, incomplete body into the air.

FireHunter roared victoriously and pulled the ex-competitor in half, burning innards spilled on its chest and on the ground. The halves were discarded carelessly.

Knowing that this display of dominance would confuse the others as to its allegiance, FireHunter turned to the Blue Queen and leaped, striking her torso and knocking her over, FireHunter tore into the monster's side, but was quickly thrown off. It landed next to DarkLioness, and stood, knowing her allegiance to the Red Queen. FireHunter looked to BadApple, who was recovering from the initial strike, and roared. If he wasn't going to side with the true queen, he could suffer the same fate as Reeza.

The backhanded strike hurt Bad apple more than the cracked skull he had faced. As soon as it started it was over and Bad apple watched as Reeza was torn in half by Firehunter. "Shit" Bad apple hissed seeing Firehunter turning over towards me. "Uh Oh" Bad apple hissed and remembered he was a runner and did the only thing he could think of. "RUN!" Just as He began to run FireHunter broke after me. Bad apple ran into the forest escaping FireHunter

The enraged Tawganator watched as Badapple rammed into DarkLioness and started moving in to attack them. "Traitors. Kill them all." As about Tawganator was to strike at Badapple a newly reborn Firehunter burst his way into the clearing and knocked Badapple aside and unfortunately away from Tawganator. The sudden arival of the Predalien caused Tawganator to pause from his attack and observed the the pure power of the beast as it tore apart the Reeza as if it were nothing at all. Despite the glorious dispay of bloodshed it actually calmed Tawganator giving a moment of clarity. *What have I done?* He thought to himself.

With Reeza dead and his dominance asserted, Firehunter engaged with Bloo. Tawganator began lightly clawing at wound that DarkLioness made on his chest out of frustration with his recent actions. After the brief altercation with Bloo, Firehunter turned his sights towards Badapple which caused the Runner to do what he does best and run into the forrest. During which, Tawganator aproached the injured DarkLioness and attempted to apologize by making a low humming noise to show that it was sad.
