Alien vs Predator: Extinction
This is loosely based on a game of the same name, except only one character is the same. The rest are my own...besides the Aliens and predators. Will contain excessive gore and coarse language.
Summary:
On the mining planet LV-742, a mining team is attacked. The survivors speak of 'monsters' and a team of marines are sent in to investigate.
It is there that they dicover they are not alone on this planet and that two races are battling against each other in a vicious war...and the humans have landed right in the middle of it!
All three factions face off as they try and survive, but to do that they must drive the others to EXTINCTION!
Mining For Bones.
Murray wandered aimlessly through the darkness. He had lost his torch and now had to fumble around in the abyss till he reached another miner. He called out into the nothingness but the only response he received was his own echo. "FUCK!" Murray threw his helmet into the wall of the tunnel and then attempted to stomp on it. He missed his helmet but hit something else.
It was hard and bony.
Murray bent down and picked up the object. He ran his fingers over a long ridged object which ended in a large round part. Murray searched his memory for anything that felt like this and ended up with a shocking answer. It was a human spine and skull!
Murray hurled it away and ran in the opposite direction, unsure if he was delving deeper of reaching the surface. He ran further until the ground beneath him beacame slick and shiny. "What the hell?!" Murray ran a hand over the new texture of ground. It felt organic yet mechanical at the same time. Curious, he wandered further along.
He stopped at a part of the wall that looked like teeth, sharp, deadly teeth...or fangs. He felt it and it was covered in mucus. Disgusted, he stepped back. He noticed that the teeth were set inside a mouth, which was part of a unusual head that resembled a sausage, only black, shiny and with head then connected with a bony exoskeleton that was it's body.
Despite the amazement, Murray still felt like leaving. This sculpture looked too life-like!
He continued on until he stopped again as he came across another sculpture...only this one was moving!! It raised it's head and it's lips quivered. It stared at him even though it had no eyes.
Murray ran. Faster than he had ever before, until he slipped. The ground sloped and he rolled down it like it was a slide. He hit the ground hard and bounced into a thick black object. He bounced off it and landed in a steamy puddle. He gazed at his expression in the reflective liquid and also saw the scariest thing he had ever seen.
It slightly resembled the other creatures, only ten times bigger. It's head flared out in a strange crest, sort of like a crown of bone. The monster roared and it waved its multiple arms, Murray counted at least four! It couldn't move. It's hide was attached to a huge worm like sac.
Murray let out a sigh. That thing won't move so he was safe...or so he thought. The giant monster hissed and spat at something in the distance.
Murray heard and felt a huge explosion. The whole area became hotter and Murray recognised the glowing brilliance of fire.
Marines! It must be the marines! They came to save me! I'm saved!
The smoke cleared and six people walked into the cavernous chamber. They were unusaually tall and had strange helmets. For some strange reason, every soldier had black dreadlocks, which shone in the semi-darkness.
These are some fucking strange soldiers! Maybe they are synthetic?
The smaller creature from before pounced from the roof and landed on one of the troops. The beast opened it's mouth wide and a tongue shot out. The tongue itself also had teeth and they bit into the soldiers mask and then into it's skin and then the brain. Bright green blood spurted out from the soldiers head and he spasmed violently before crashing to the ground.
The others crowded around the creature and attacked it with spears.
Why the hell are they using spears? Where the hell are the guns?!
One soldier gazed at it's wrist. A small device was built into it and it beeped. The soldier barked a command in a language Murray had never heard before. The soldiers then all took up defensive stances.
A creepy spider or scorpion of some kind crawled out of the flames. It lunged out at one of the soldiers and latched onto his face. The soldier slashed blindly and tugged at the bug that wrapped it's many legs firmly around his skull. It's tail coiled around the soldiers throat and strangled him.
One of his commrades thrust his spear into the scorpions back. It erupted in dull green blood which sprayed onto the fallen soldier. He rolled around and screamed in the same deep growl the other one had used.
What the fuck is going on?! These guys aren't human...so what are they?!
He felt a hand on his shoulder. Murray craned his neck to see the masked...person? He put his other hand over his mask and it clicked loudly. He pulled it off and revealed a hideous face. It was a dull yellow and had rigded scaly eyebrows. It's eyes were set deep into it's head and were quite small. Two mandibles flailed around in front of it's mouth. It roared and the skin around the mouth parted to reveal pink skin beneath. It's teeth were small but sharp.
Murray screamed as the thing whipped out a knife and drove it into his throat!

FURTHER UP THE TUNNEL
The miners all paused after they heard an explosion deeper underground.
"It's probably that stupid asshole Murray! The retard was probably playing with a lighter and the gases down here reacted and exploded." Jackson said. He adjusted his glasses. He was the mining engineer, he had too much brains to be hacking at rocks with ancient tools. He despised half the people he was supposed to supervise, so he pretty much hated his job too.
"Don't be so hard on Murray. I know he'd probably fail an iq test, but he's still a good guy." That was Timothy, a veteran miner, if you can be a veteran. His long hair was grey and wiry. It clumped together because it was caked in filth.
He was friends with everyone. Even when someone had bashed him and robbed him, he still tried to make idle conversation with his mugger. It was a story the others often told as it always resulted in laughter.
"I know you think highly of everyone Tim, but I need to pick out those with faults, it's part of my job." Jackson stated.
"Oh, so you're job is to be an asshole." Another miner yelled out. This resulted in a wave of laughter which faded quickly.
They heard a scream. Then another, and another.
Jackson turned his torch on and aimed the light down the tunnel. He saw two men running towards him, their uniforms caked in blood. "What the...?" Jackson started.
"MONSTERS!!!FUCKING MONSTERS!!!" The miners screamed.
Jackson tried to ask the question again, but they had already gone. He watched them leave and then turned back to the others.
Timothy yelled and sprinted towards the exit.
Before Jackson could ask, he saw why.
Two black insect like creatures had scambled up the tunnel. One started to gnaw at a miners face while the other had decapitated someone with a razor tipped tail.
Jackson turned and ran with the few others left. A scream came from behind him and he gazed over his shoulder to see another man get slaughtered by the strange animals. Jackson ran full tilt. He could see the surface lights now. He was so close. He was going to make it!
Something gripped his leg and he stared at the bug/thing that drooled over him. It's head arced back and it let go. Jackson looked up to see Timothy brandishing a pick-axe. The tip was melting from where it had penetrated the bony skull of the monster.
Timothy hurled it aside and picked up Jackson. They both fled to the surface.
This wasn't a very long chapter, but they will get longer. Hope you liked it. Please review.
