Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Alien films or the characters in the films. Knight, King, Bishop, and Rook are mine.
They say that whoever you're born as is who you are for the rest of your life. This is the lie that, unfortunately, most people believe. That's what they believed about me. But I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Knight. I am not human and I am not an earthly creature. I'm an alien. My kind isn't your typical kind of alien. We're Xenomorphs. We are feared and hated because of our terrifying appearance and our reputations. We are called heartless, bloodthirsty parasites. This is only half true. We are only parasitic in one stage of our lives, in which we are known as "facehuggers". (An appropriate name, if you ask me.) The majority of my kind are heartless and bloodthirsty, but there are a few who do not dwell in violence and don't go by their natural instincts. But I'm sure that Miss Ellen Ripley would say that all of us Xenomorphs are violent killers.
A long time ago, about 66 years to be exact, in the year 2122, Ripley and her crew discovered a ship containing thousands of Xenomorph eggs. A facehugger attached itself to one of her crew members and planted an embryo within him. When the facehugger fell off and died, Ripley and the others thought their crew member was fine, since he acted unharmed. But the embryo hatched and the baby, known as a "chestburster", burst from the host's chest, killing him. Within a few hours, the chestburster had grown into an adult. All six of the other crew members were killed. Only Ripley survived and managed to escape and blow up the ship with the Xenomorph inside.
Her escape pod floated in space for 57 years before she was rescued. Eventually, she led a crew of Marines to LV-426, a planet where a ship inhabited by Xenomorphs had crashed. Ripley and Marines only went there because they had lost contact with the human colony that had lived there. Ripley and her team discovered that all of the colonists had been captured by a Xenomorph colony and were cocooned to be used to spawn new Xenomorphs. Only Ripley, a little girl called Newt, a marine and an android escaped and blew up LV-426. Unfortunately, the colony's Queen had snuck onto their ship. When the ship reached the hanger, she emerged. Ripley battled the Queen and threw her into the vacuum of space. As far as I know, Ripley and the others returned home safely. That was nine years ago.
Unknown to Ripley, our Queen drifted to another planet, where she captured the inhabitants and used them to breed a new colony; my colony. Since the moment I reached adulthood, I was trained to kill. I was taught that all other species were my enemies. I was told that if I completed every assignment I was given without fail, I would rise in reputation in the colony. For years I was loyal to my colony and completed every assignment I was given, be it tending to the younger Xenomorphs or capturing more hosts for spawning. Then our Queen came up with a plan that made me question her. This is where the story begins. The story of the war that nearly wiped out every living thing on earth... My story...
