Hey, everyone, this is my FIRST crossover ever, and I'm happy to post the first chapter to you all. For the Monster fans, I do need a super fan to help me with some personalities, reactions, etc. For the Alien fans, please go easy on me, I literally went from what I know off the top of my head, to what I found online. Some of you may not like what I do with the Alien, and that's okay, I want feedback on how I can improve on writing it. In the end, I hope I'm able to lure you into continuing to read the story once you finish this chapter. Also, my grammar isn't the best, so again, go easy on me, reviews are helpful, flame reviews are irrelevant and won't be acknowledged. Other than that I hope you enjoy. (One last thing for my followers that have read either of my other 3 stories, the DxD fic will be on hiatus due to the fact that I haven't even started the next chapter, but I will get to it eventually. The H.O.T.D fic is canceled until further notice, I haven't been in the mood to write that one. And for my Brothers fic, a new chapter is on the way but not for a while)
*Warning: Containment Breach Detected! This Facility Will Go Into An Immediate Lockdown! Please Make Your Way To Designated Bunkers Until Given The All Clear! Anybody Found Outside During the Lockdown Will Be Shot!*
All Throughout the halls and rooms, a prerecorded message played alerting the unaware of their current predicament. Many hated the routine drills that went on in the facility which would constantly interrupt their work and progression. In fact, most wouldn't even acknowledge that there even was a fire or intruder because they had done it so many times. But this current alert was one that even the stubbornest of employees would turn their heads not out of curiosity, but fear. A containment breach was not to be taken lightly because if anyone was found outside of their safety bunkers they were to be shot on sight, but there was another reason that made people drop what they were doing and quickly "walk" to their assigned bunkers. A breach meant that one of their specimens escaped from containment and was now on the loose, being both uncontrollable and unpredictable.
The whole facility was constructed right underneath an abandoned factory, which rested on top of a hill overlooking the city. Many levels were added to assure plenty of space and to lower the chance of escape. The specimens were located on the last level and were placed in either tubes or clamped down in specially designed rooms only accessible by those with high ranks. The only chance they had of escape was if someone released the restraints and opened the doors, but this was a special case...
"Containment room is clear, no sign of specimen X-2, it seems to have intentionally cut itself to melt its restraints. Also, the ventilation shaft has been broken into, be cautious while moving around the vents." A man said, looking around the wide room with his shoulder light, wearing M3 armor, and carrying a M240A1 flamethrower. "Also, remember that we're not being paid to kill it, only to bring it back alive. Use your flamethrowers to keep it at a distance, and when it's cornered capture it with the net gun, we'll drag its ass back if we have to."
"Roger that, we're currently entering the mess hall now to see if it came in for a midnight snack" A voice from the man's earpiece responded with a laugh.
"Don't get cocky, you know as well as I do that things can go south in a flash, let's just get done and have a beer when it's over." He said into the mic, letting out a yawn as he stretched. This wasn't his first time dealing with specimen X-2, there have been multiple escape attempts in the past, and every single one he was called to re-capture it. But all the other escapes were caused by carelessness, like the time someone spilled coffee on the control panel for the doors and restraints. However, this new attempt seemed a lot more desperate and irrational, which confused the man greatly. "Poor thing must really hate being locked up and treated as a lab rat, but hey, I'd lose my sanity too if I were in its place." He said shaking his head as he looked around the room once more before leaving.
"This is fucking bullshit, why am I always called into work while I'm watching my show." A man complained sitting down at a table, grabbing a half eating sandwich and taking a bite. He was wearing the same M3 armor and carried a M240A1 flamethrower by his side. His body was bulky while his face bore a full black beard, which complimented his black crew cut hair. [Nickname: Bojack]
"You mean that soap opera you always watch? What is the man getting into an affair with a woman this time?" Another man said with a laugh, as the other rolled his eyes. He was younger than the first and also wore the same armor with the addition of a helmet which covered his buzzed black hair. In his hands, he carried a net gun, which is the only non-lethal takedown that they have. [Nickname: Hopper]
"No, you dumbass...it's the woman who's having the affair." Bojack added, looking at the now empty tray.
"Cut the shit you two, the boss wants this entire area swept and secured and we can't-do that with you both talking about T.V. shows." A third man chimed in, wearing only a white T-shirt and tan pants. The man had his black hair slicked back with gel, shades covering his eyes, a toothpick in his mouth, and a face that said he was irritated with everything. In his hand was a long electrical prod used to keep specimens at bay.
[Nickname: Slick]
"Hey Slick, shouldn't you be wearing some armor or a helmet at the least?" Hopper asked, taking a bite out of a discarded apple.
"I told you I hate wearing that shit, it hinders my ability to move. The helmet is even worse, my hair would be ruined the moment I put it on." Slick said pushing his hair back while walking toward the exit. "Now let's quit the chatter and find this fucker."
Both Bojack and Hopper took their last bites of the only food they had in hours and followed Slick out the door. They then walked from floor to floor clearing every room they came across until they reached the first floor of the facility. The men proceeded to the entrance which was a large door that lifted, leading to an elevator, big enough to fit a few cars. On the very top where the factory was, the elevator was hidden and made to look like the concrete floor inside. This way anybody who happened to wander inside wouldn't be able to notice it. Luckily for the guys, the door to the elevator was still closed, meaning that their job got a whole lot easier. All they had to do now was sit and wait for X-2 to make its move.
"Sir, we made it to the entrance and the door is still closed, we'll set up here to prevent its escape." Slick said into his microphone, waiting for a response from their commander.
"...Roger that Slick, use you motion scanners so it doesn't get the jump on you. I'll meet up with you guys soon, just double checking the rooms." Their commander responded through Slick's ear pie*Warning: Containment Breach Detected! This Facility Will Go Into An Immediate Lockdown! Please Make Your Way To Designated Bunkers Until Given The All Clear! Anybody Found Outside During the Lockdown Will Be Shot!*, who nodded and pulled out a device which was a box with a screen on it and a handle. He flicked a switch, turning on the device, causing the screen to light up. On it was a bunch of curved and straight lines which showed the distance of any living thing moving up to twenty meters away.
"Now all we do is wait for it to make a move..." Slick said with a smile, as he took a seat behind a desk.
(Twenty minutes later-)
"WHAT THE FUCK IS TAKING SO LONG!?" Bojack yelled as he kicked a trash bin across the room. "Are we even sure that it's trying to escape? Damn thing is probably too dumb to even make it's way up here anyway."
Slick shot Bojack a glare and walked up to him, a serious look on his face. "Please don't speak so poorly of specimen X-2, I can assure you it's not as dumb as you think."
"Back off Slick, we've dealt with it before, why are you acting all serious suddenly? You afraid I might hurt its feelings?" Bojack laughed a bit while Slick rolled his eyes.
"The last time we dealt with specimen X-2 it was found curled inside a closet. It also wasn't acting aggressively at the time, allowing the men to restrain it on the spot with no resistance. But something is off, we would've found it by now, maybe..."
"MAYBE it's hiding in the same fucking closet we found it in last time-"
*Badoom...Badoom...Badoom...Badoom...*
Bojack was cut off by the sound of the motion tracker, which was receiving a faint single that would appear and disappear. Slick gave him a look and slowly walked over to it, cautiously turning on his mic to contact their boss. "Hey, Boss...*Badoom*...you there?" Slick asked as the device continued its pattern.
"Yeah, I'm here, just a few floors away from your current position, what's up?" The leader said as Slick continued to look at the tracker, as it suddenly stopped beeping.
"Nothing, false alarm, hurry and get up here." Slick replied, as their leader acknowledged and silence ensued once more.
"You think it was X-2?" Hopper asked, looking around the room as Bojack shook his head.
"Could've been a damn rat for all we know, those motion trackers can pick up just about anything." Bojack said, inspecting his weapon to keep himself occupied. Without warning the ceiling lights went out, leaving the men in the pitch black before red emergency lights went on.
"Why is it every time I open my mouth some shit has to happen-"
*Badoom...Badoom...Badoom...*
All eyes were on the tracker, except this time the signal was moving toward them. Everyone began to tense up, even Slick was feeling nervous as it came closer to their position. They flicked the safeties off their weapons and aim them at the door. At the last second, a knock was heard as the voice of their leader sounded off. Everyone sighed in relief, Slick walked over to the door and knocked back.
"Son of a bitch you scared the shit out of us, Boss, we thought you were X-2 for a second." Slick chuckled as he looked back at his friends.
"Haha, sorry about that Slick, I should've called you up ahead of time, now hurry up and open this door for me." The leader of the group said, given a tug at the door.
*Badoom...Badoom...Badoom...*
The tracker began picking up another signal coming from behind their leader, as Slick's heart dropped. The Boss noticed this and started yanking at the door handle, yelling for him to open it. Slick began to walk backward, refusing to open the door.
"Slick open the damn door you bastard!" Bojack yelled but was hesitating to help.
Slick wasn't listening and continued to stare at his leader, if the door was closed, the thing couldn't get in. Bojack, ran to the door to help but was immediately tackled by Slick. "Don't! You open that door and the whole mission is compromised!"
*Whack!*
Slick was punched in the face by Bojack, who got up and ran to the door. Quickly getting up, Slick was about to pursue Bojack until he took a quick glance at the motion tracker. In a second he saw the orb on the tracker go over the leader's current position at the door. Slick, dumbfounded, looked up at the ceiling to see a vent right over his head. A sticky liquid dripped down onto his face as he slowly reached for his prod at his side. Teeth began to appear, along with high pitch breathing, as specimen X-2 poked its long, domed head out into the room. Slick was about to strike with the electrical prod when he heard footsteps run up to him.
"Slick the fuck are you doing man!?" Hopper yelled as Slick's heart sank, seeing that X-2 had taken notice of them. The specimen dropped down, knocking Slick out of the way, and landing right in front of Hopper. The artificial light shined on the creatures elongated, cylindrical head, which rose above Hopper's as it stood up eight feet high. It had a skeletal and biomechanical body with four tubes protruding from its back. A long, spinal like tail with a blade tip could be seen moving behind it as it looked down at him. Hopper stood there in fear, unable to move as he stared at the mouth of the creature. Even Bojack had taken notice of what had happened and began to quietly equip his flamethrower.
"Hopper...Hopper, move away from it...I can't torch it with you standing there..." Bojack quietly yelled to Hopper, who still couldn't move or hear him. Specimen X-2 suddenly grabbed hold of Hopper's arms as he quickly snapped out of it and tried to break free. The head of the creature moved forward as its mouth began to open.
"Hey! Over here you fuck!" Bojack yelled as X-2 snapped its head in his direction, loosening its grip on Hopper. "Now Slick!" Slick could be seen running up behind X-2 and connecting his electrical prod to the specimen's body. A high pitch screech came from X-2's mouth as it completely let go of Hopper who quickly ran over to Bojack.
X-2's tail frantically whipped around and eventually contacted Slick who went flying into a nearby wall. "Now Bojack!" Hopper yelled as Bojack ignited the tip of his flamethrower. "Burn mother fucker!" He yelled as a stream of fire was released from the weapon, engulfing X-2, who began to screech at the intense heat. Bojack began to move up, forcing the specimen to move back with every burst. "Hopper! Pick up the damn net launcher and get ready to fire!" Yelled Bojack as Hopper complied and grabbed his launcher, but before he could fire X-2's tail smashed a sprinkler on the ceiling. In no time the water from the sprinklers started to affect the flamethrower, causing it to come out in delayed bursts instead of a continuous stream. Taking advantage of the situation, X-2 bolted toward the elevator, only to find it closed off. Slick saw that it was now cornered, and beckoned to Hopper to grab the net launcher, the Boss then used a few hand gestures to tell his men to surround X-2. It sensed the sudden movements of the men and froze up, causing them to freeze as well, turning the situation into a standoff, each waiting for the other to make a move. Until it shot its tail straight toward the elevator control panel, impaling it, causing the door to begin to open.
"Fuck! Hopper! Shoot the net launcher at it before it gets away!" The Boss yelled as Hopper complied, aiming the launcher and firing it at X-2. By the time the net reached X-2, it was already climbing the shaft but managed to wrap around its still visible tail, as it disappeared out of sight.
"Damnit! What are we gonna do now man!? It's game over for everyone if that thing gets to the city!" Hopper yelled in panic, as the Boss stood there in thought, while the other two looked up the shaft to see if X-2 was still there.
"Nothing…" Slick said, turning back around and walking toward the Boss. "Well, now what are we going to do? We can't call the authorities and say a bloodthirsty monster is about to go on a killing spree in the city, that'd be sure to cause a panic."
"No, we need to call Mr. Weyland and report what happened. Once he gives us the okay, I want you all to gear up and prepare, we're going on a bug hunt."
"I am wonder,
The wonder of man himself.
I am question,
The question man seeks to answer.
I am greed,
The greed man used to make me.
I am loneliness,
The loneliness I feel inside.
I am emptiness,
The emptiness of remorse and emotion.
I am fear,
The fear I bestow onto others.
I am perfect,
The perfect organism…."
"This is your creed, boy, the creed you will take to your grave. Memorize it, and burn it into your head, for it will guide you on your journey."
The boy looked at the man confused, as he repeated the words back into his head. He had a buzzed head of hair with blue eyes and only wore what looked to be a hospital gown. "I don't get it…" he said, looking at his hands. "I am none of these things said in the creed, why give me a creed that doesn't describe me?"
The man smiled and put his hand on the boy's head, leaning into his face. "That's because you are not what it describes….yet" The boy became even more confused by the man's words but then remembered why they were both here.
"That's why you want me to get inside that machine, so that the creed will describe me, right?" The boy asked, looking back toward the big machine behind them. The man patted the boy on the shoulders, then turned the boy's head to face him.
"Everything will be fine…"
The boy smiled at the man and walked with him toward the entrance to the chamber of the machine. The boy stepped in as the man closed the door behind him, leaving a small window, in which the man could be seen smiling. The boy smiled back, but when the man walked away, his smile faded as he became afraid of the unknown. The machine came to life as the noise of it powering up made the boy's stomach drop until he felt a pain from his backside. He looked back to see a tail starting to grow from above his butt. The same pain was felt on his hands as his fingers began to grow into claws, which caused the boy to scream in fear, but it wasn't his own scream, it had the sound of something unnatural. And as the boy looked at the window, the small reflection revealed that he was no longer a boy, but a monster….
A pair of eyes began to open, and as they focused, all they could see is the surface below. Realizing that he was in midair, he tried to move but realized that he was encased in something, something that stuck to his body. As he wiggled around trying to free himself, his movements disturbed something else nearby. A pair of red eyes glowed as they looked straight at the trapped victim, who desperately tried to rip the material. The eyes moved closer, eventually reaching the bit of moonlight shining from above, revealing a woman, but that's what it seemed at first. Upon closer inspection, she had multiple eyes, with short white hair, along with sharp teeth. The more she inched closer to the victim, the more it could see her, and what he saw, was the body of a woman, and the thorax of a spider.
"My my, you're awake….." The woman said as she made a wide grin as she got close enough to literally hang over her prey. "I wonder how much fun I can have with you before you break?" She laughed as she slid a finger down its cheek in a seductive way.
Hmmmmmm, I wonder who that sexy spider is and who the Hell got caught up in her web? Guess we'll find out in the next chapter, but I'd like to thank you all that read through the whole chapter and didn't rage quit due to errors. You guys are the people that make me want to write and don't be shy to post a review. It doesn't have to be a paragraph, maybe a sentence telling me what you think, it doesn't matter, as long as it isn't a flamer, and if it is, PLEASE explain to me everything in detail, don't just say it's shit, tell me WHY it's shit, thanks. I'll see you all in the next chapter!
