{Characters}
Erik: {Me, the author of this story} A predator held in captivity by the Weyland Yutani Corporation. He's a rogue predator who was not named, so he goes by what the human scientists call him.
Charlie: {A good friend of mine who would like to be in my story} A mercenary human. He's a specialist who can handle about every situation and use any weapon or tool/gadget. He is highly spoken of and feared by mercenary and military personnel alike. He became well known when a salvage team found him in a large chamber behind a door blocked by a cave in with dozens of dead bugs around him and dead empress near the center of the chamber. Why the empress was there or how he killed the massive creature is unknown.
SSG: {He's an author on this site. His pen name is Super Spy Guy and he's a good friend of mine. I use SSG instead of his real name because I'm not sure if he's want me to use his real name} He works for the Weyland Yutani Corporation doing research on the extremely dangerous xenomorphs on planet LV-1207. He is a very smart individual and can hack into about anything with his computer.
Brett: {He's also an author on this site who is a friend of mine. He goes by the pen name bjrulzall} A marine who recently was assigned the job of traveling to LV-1207 with other marines to check on the Weyland Yutani operations. Why they were sent is not known, the higher-ups never told them. Brett acts as the commander of the marines and handles heavy weapons. (Rocket launcher, mini gun, etc.)
Jarron: {You guessed it! Another friend of mine. He's not an author on this site but would like me to include him} Another marine in the same squadron as Brett. He handles demolitions. (Grenade launcher, flamethrower, etc.)
Xarghal: {A fictional character} An extraordinary alien drone who is
Chap. 1: Let Loose
(In the cafeteria)
Solider: Where is it?
Other Solider: They told us it was headed this way, through the ceiling.
Soldier: Don't you have a motion tracker?
Other Solider: I do, but I forgot to change the batteries on it. It's dead.
Soldier: You dumb f-
(A gunshot is heard and a dead drone falls from the ceiling. The two soldiers turn around and see Charlie holding a shotgun. Charlie shakes his head)
Charlie: I'd hate to see you guys in the hive. (walks out door)
Soldier: Damn.
Other Soldier: Don't just stand there! Get a containment team up here to get rid of this things carcass before it burns a hole in the floor. I'll stay here and make sure it doesn't move. It might not be dead.
(The soldier runs out the doorway and through the hall to report what had happened. The other soldier just stands there and watches it, every second he was got more nervous, then he let out a shriek when he heard a loud noise behind him)
Soldier: Ahhh!
(He turns around and sees some dishes on the ground and a cat on the shelf)
Soldier: Whew. Stupid cat.
Cat: Hisssss!!! (runs away)
(The soldier has a puzzled look on his face. Behind him the alien get up and head bites the soldier. The alien then drags the soldier's corpse into a vent and starts feeding on it. This was no ordinary alien)
SSG: Man could this job be any easier! (Eats a few cheddar and sour cream flavored potato chips) I can't believe I'm being paid for this. (He is mostly bored with his job so he got a few screen sets and linked them to camera feeds so he can watch what's going on. Suddenly he drops the bag of potato chips and moves his face closer to the screen. He sees several scientists dead with several slash marks on them. There is some blood in the lab, but what disgusts him most about the scene is the scientist's heads. They are all gone, and the containment unit, which held the creature, was open. The creature was no longer inside) Shit! (Presses a button) Guard we have a problem! In lab 15 the contained specimen has gotten out! There are several casualties already! I would advise putting this station on alert.
Guard: What? Who is this?
(SSG presses the button again and turns off the intercom)
SSG: With that contaminant still running around we could be in a load of shit. (Takes out two odd-looking pistols) Glad I stole that artifact.
(Meanwhile in a hallway)
Guard: Hey, I just got a call from somebody. Said the specimen from lab 15 got loose and that I should put the entire station on alert.
Soldier: Heh. Probably nothing.
Guard: I dunno, he said there were casualties.
Soldier: Yeah alright. Let's go.
(They start walking down the corridor. Then a blue blast of energy comes out of a hole in the ceiling and very badly damages the back of the soldier. The guard turns around and runs back to see what happened to his now dead comrade. As he is bending over and looking at the soldiers back he hears a very rapid kind of clicking noise just in front of him. He gets up and looks at a large wavy area standing right in front of him. The wavy area then takes form and color to reveal a creature much bigger than he is with a mask on. He looks at it in horror as it takes out its wrist blades and punches a hole in his heart)
Erik: Stupid oomans. They don't even lift their weapon to try and stop me. (Erik cuts off the heads of the two guards to keep as trophies. Then he jumps back into the ceiling)
(SSG comes along)
SSG: (Looks at the dead solders) Damn. That thing was here recently. (Takes out his pistols)
(SSG continues down the corridor. Then suddenly a mercenary comes around the corner holding his shotgun at SSG. SSG puts up his pistols)
Charlie: Jeez. Thought you were that thing that got out of the lab.
SSG: You know about that?
Charlie: Yeah. Your message reached a few other roo-
(Charlie holds his shotgun up at a broken tile in the ceiling and doesn't move)
SSG: What is it?
Charlie: It's up there. In the ceiling.
SSG: Why hasn't it attacked yet?
Charlie: I don't know. It knows I see it. Maybe It's just not taking a chance.
SSG: You seem to know this thing somewhat.
Charlie: Yeah. I encountered one before on the last planet I had a job on. Never acted like this. It could be watching, waiting for the moment to strike with one blow for a kill.
SSG: Were you a hunter? You seem to know how creatures think.
Charlie: If anybody when through what I did they would be the same. Lets move out of this area.
SSG: It's gone?
Charlie: Maybe. It may want us to think that.
(They both move down the hallway and into the lobby, which has no room in the ceiling, just a few small vents for cooling and air flow)
SSG: (Thinking to self) This guy's a bit paranoid. I don't think that the creature was even there.
Charlie: Let's alert the station.
SSG: Yeah.
(In the generator room a worker is fixing a broken piece of equipment with a blowtorch)
Worker: Figures I get stuck with the crummy job.
???: Hiss!!
Worker: (Turns around and sees the drone standing there and becomes frozen in fear) H-h-h-h-h-h (The alien then head bites him. The torch falls igniting some gas. It creates and explosion igniting the fuel and opening a hole in the side of the wall. The drone was flung back by the explosion, but still conscious. He heard a guard shout, "What the hell happened!!" up the stairs. Knowing that more soldiers would be coming he decided to escape through the newly created hole. It was at the moment he just got away from the human building that he realized he could think on his own. He wasn't under the influence of the empress)
