Battle Cry

He's gone. Watching in utter fascination as the space ship takes off, I am suddenly surrounded by a complete silent darkness. "He's gone now Lex, it's time to move." I try to run in the direction where I believe is what is left of the old whaling station…but my body is frozen in place. The only thing I can feel is the pain of breathing in the icy air. "I can't move, I can't see but I will make it. I know there is a rescue team on standby waiting for us from Weyland Industries, just hang in there record breaker Alexa Woods and they find you any minute now."

A noise in the distance breaks the eerie silence. Still being able to hear seems to be the remaining sensory Lex has left at the moment. What is that sound? It seems to be getting louder. It does not sound like a chopper, or a human footstep. Maybe is that hunter! If their advanced technology can get him here, I'm sure his people can fix his body. I know he would not just leave me here to die. That's him, it has to be. The sound is close now, starting to see some movement, it's blurry but I can still barely use my eyes to see something shifting in the snow.

Lex's stomach drops as the movement finally forms into a shape she knows all too well. Out of the darkness like a demon from the depths of hell, a serpent from below strikes quickly at her head with a set of double locking jaws. Lex feels a sudden jolt of pain…

"Someone get in room 501, she is screaming again!" echoes through the hall, bellowed by a frightened night intern. "Why isn't she hooked up to the IV drip?" the head nurse calls out after arriving at in the room of the private unknown medical facility. As the nurses hurryingly make their way toward Lex's room, they find her screaming and thrashing her body in a furious panic. The drugs are wearing off and her nightmares are so severe Lex that is actually bending the rails surrounding the hospital bed in a wave of furious panic.

Most of the nurses are reluctant to approach this patient in her current state and they end up just piling in at the door to her room to see what is going on. The head nurse marches in and pushes the incompetent staff aside as she plugs the drip back into the IV. "There you go, go back to sleep for me and no more nightmares this time" the head nurse firmly orders Lex. "Everyone who does not need to be in here needs to get out" was her next command to staff as they started to crowd the private room.

As drugs in the IV enter her body and start taking their effect, Lex begins settle down and relax. She feels the soft bed underneath her body but also starts to notice a slight soreness in her wrists. She slowly opens her eyes and finds that her wrists are strapped to the rails of her bed. There are little lights everywhere, blinking and beeping. A large woman is looming over her with some type of equipment in her hands. She can see that this woman is speaking to her but Lex cannot piece the words together as the gentleness of peace begins to fade in. She feels her body start to float and her mind reaches into the vastness of space towards a massive creature with green eyes, long black dreadlocks and heart stopping battle cry…

By the time the Yautja starship arrives at the home planet, Scar has almost completely recovered from his injuries. Now a blooded warrior, his missions will soon begin. This is what Scar has trained his entire life to do and he is more than ready to begin the hunts. Standing before the leaders of his tribe they review his trial at the Pyramid. Scar keeps an unemotional disposition while watching his little ooman on the view screen.

Although it is not forbidden to choose a human for a mate, Scar knows that Lex would not survive life on his home planet and he cannot live on hers. Scar tells himself that after a few completed missions this little creature will be pieces of a distant memory. Scar and the Elders view the finale of the trial.

As Scar sees the Xenomorph queen line her tail to impale him on the screen before, he felt a hard notch in his stomach. His body has a strange tingling sensation as he watches this beautiful, tiny little creature appear out of nowhere and stand between himself and sudden death. A strange emotion is going through Scar's mind as he watches Lex impale the enemy with her spear, this strange little creature saving his life again.

Until this moment in time, Scar did not fully absorb that particular incident in his mind until he sees Lex's actions laid out in front of him. "Why did she do that?" Scar is wondering to himself as he peers over to the tribal leaders who are watching these events unfold with a thorough detail of their new blooded warrior.

After the viewing, Scar is dismissed to his personal quarters. He takes a moment to replay the video stored in his mask. He allows his mind to go back to the little human female as he begins to hear "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
