Hello friends and here we are with another exciting story in the world of The Crimson Xenomorphs (Too cheesy? Be glad I didn't say adventure, this ain't some kid's book). This is the sequel to The Crimson Xenomorphs so if you haven't already read that, it would be a good idea to do so before reading this. Now, I proudly present you with 'Sins of The Father'!
Sins of The Father
Chapter One: A New Beginning
After a few minutes of praying out in the field, I opened my eyes and stared at the small crudely made figure I had made a few years ago. It was made of stone and about the same size as a tombstone. It served as a memorial for a fallen friend. It was not perfect but it was the best I could do, though he deserved to have his statue made of gold by the best sculptors and encrusted with jewels. Besides without him, I never could have defeated the Crimsons and destroyed their hive. I have not seen them since that day. Crimsons… horrible abominations created by my father in diabolical labs to be used as killing machines. Obviously the whole experiment backfired when they made them stronger and about ten times more aggressive than a normal Xenomorph. It seems that whenever I met a Crimson, chaos was soon to follow. I was captured and transformed, mutated into an abomination myself. I was injected with some sort of chemical mixed with Xeno DNA and it turned me into some sort of Human / Xeno hybrid. It was painful. Extremely painful, as if white hot knives were jabbing me repeatedly.
The figure had carvings cut into the bottom. They said "In memory of Kig-Char. A brave and strong Yautja who wanted nothing more than his friend's safety. He was not a merciless killing machine like the rest of his kind and he is the reason why we are still here today. He was a good friend and he will be missed." I stood up and stared at it a little longer, thinking back to painful and happy moments. The memory I keep coming back to is his death along with the whole ordeal. I looked down and observed the many scars across my body including the ones I received at the time fighting a praetorian and the ones I received from the various cuttings and injections I received during my experiment. Those weren't my only scars. My mind was scarred. Each night I have the same dream. I keep going back to the kidnapping of the town and Tali turning into a Crimson and killing me. Every night I wake, covered in sweat and panting heavily. I rubbed my face and sighed.
"Dad? Uncle Salazar wanted to speak with you."
I stood up and saw a young female Xenomorph. She had no tale and she had a tongue instead of an inner mouth, like most Xenos have. This meant that she spoke verbally instead of mentally. Obviously, she was my daughter.
"Of course Catharine. Come." I said as I held her smaller hand and walked back to the hive, side by side, father and daughter. It has been six years since I destroyed the Crimsons. Catharine in human years was roughly twelve years old. Being the child of a human and a Xeno, Catharine grows faster than a human but slower than a pure Xenomorph. The hive itself has changed much. It has expanded out as well as the families that occupy it. The casualties of the "battle of fire" left the hive with little people but finally we have restored and expanded. I still remain as the most trusted royal lieutenant. I've been known ruthlessly exterminate my enemies my enemies when they threaten the hive and especially when they threaten my family.
After some walking Catharine asked "Are you okay? You don't look so good."
"Oh, I'm just remembering certain memories, good and bad. I'm fine, don't worry" I smiled at her. She smiled back and giggled. We were close to the hive and we soon met a familiar figure. Catharine let go of my hand and rushed towards the them.
"Aunty Alice!" She cried.
"Hello little one." She said, crouching and hugging Catharine. Alice is my little sister and is similar to me and Catharine as she had gone through the same experiment as I had. She mutated soon after I got back from my fight with the Crimsons. She is no longer the little girl she once was. She has fully matured into a woman and maintains a close relationship with her niece.
"Alright little sis?" I asked, slightly jokingly and smiling.
"Yes, thanks Aidan." She giggled "Did Catharine tell you that Salazar needed you for something?"
"Yes, she did. Any idea what he may want?" I asked
"I'm not sure but I've noticed a lot of people around are uneasy. I get the feeling something's going to happen. I don't know what but I'm sure that's what he wants to talk to you about. Do you feel it too?"
"Yeah. I feel like something's a little off. If everyone's feeling like this then it's likely more than nothing."
"Best not keep him waiting then."
"You're right. Take care of Catharine, will ya?" I said and hugged them both before running off to the hive to see what's been getting everyone so riled up.
Sorry that the first chapter to the sequel is a bit short but I wanted to upload on the 28th. Problem is, I'm away this weekend possibly without my laptop and/or internet. Just think of this as a sort of reveal trailer. Anyway, I hope most of you are glad this sequel is happening and if I gain more followers (and if I come up with more ideas), this could have the potential to become a trilogy. Please review, I always love to hear what you have to say about the story and if you have enjoyed it so far, remember to follow and receive updates when I release a new chapter. As always my friends, have a nice day ;)
