Title: Aliens Alternate Ending: Part One
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, Twentieth Century Fox owns that right, I'm only using them for a bit of fun.
Warning: Sense this is my first story it probably will suck a bit. But I couldn't help but picture Ripley and Hicks and Vasquez and Drake together so it's worth a shot. All feedback is welcome.
Description: (Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection didn't happen, alternate ending to Aliens. I'm planning on making this a series.) Ripley, Hicks, Newt, Bishop, Lieutenant Gorman, Vasquez and Drake make it back to the Sulaco only to find they brought a few guests with. R/H and V/D pairing. Mature content warning for violence, death, bad langue and imitate relations.
Prologue: LV 426
"Where's Vasquez?" Hicks shouted behind him at Drake and Lieutenant Gorman. "I'll go" the Lieutenant said turning back down the shaft from which they had come. Worry flashed through Drake's eyes as the shooting from an M-41A Pulse Rifle started. "Go" Drake yelled at Hicks as Ripley and Newt disappeared around a corner ahead. Hicks hesitated for a moment before following Ripley and Newt into an air shaft, where he could finally stand up. Rubbing his knees slightly, Hicks helped Newt over the gap, to the ladder where Ripley was waiting. The sharp sound of rifle firing was growing closer. Hicks and Ripley looked back as Drake emerged struggling heavily while trying to drag Vasquez through the small opening. "Here" Hicks said offering his hand to Drake, helping him get Vasquez over the gap, who was cursing insults in both Spanish and English as the molecular acid burned deeper into her leg. "Lieutenant!" Ripley yelled over the screeching and gun firing in the tunnel. "Newt stay here, Hicks watch her" she said crossing back over the gap and into the tunnel, finding Gorman only a few feet in front of her, firing at what looked like a wall of aliens, who were rapidly approaching. "Come on we have to go" Ripley yelled, firing her own rifle at the aliens. Grabbing a grenade Gorman pressed the button down, throwing it into the aliens. Grabbing Ripley's arm they ran to the end of the tunnel, barely grabbing onto the ladder before the blast from the explosion hit them. Newt screamed, losing her balance and falling into the gap, barely able to grab a pipe. "Get her!" Ripley screamed franticly as Hicks jammed his rifle, stopping the movement of the fan like device. Leaning down he was able to see Ripley grab onto Newt's jacket before she slid down the tunnel, her voice echoing up "Ripley!" "No! Newt, we're coming stay where you are!" Ripley yelled down the tunnel, fighting Hicks as he tried to pull her back up. "We'll find her, we'll find her but we have to move, NOW!" He yelled, the screeching from the aliens growing louder. Reluctantly Ripley got up and followed Hicks up the ladder where Gorman and Drake were waiting, with Vasquez draped over his shoulders. The five of them ran down the corridor, following the beeping of the small black device, which tracked the small device Hicks had given to Ripley, who in turn gave it to Newt.
The five reached a part in the corridor where the beeping became a flat, steady noise, conveniently where Newt's small fingers reached up through the floor yelling "here, I'm here." After trying to pry the floor up Ripley said "climb down honey, we're going to have to cut through." "Ok" Newt murmured scared as she climbed back down into the water, rubbing Casey's head. Hicks had almost cut through when an Alien came up behind Newt taking her. Newt screamed but by the time Hicks and Ripley kicked through the remaining part she was gone. "She's alive, god damnit she's alive" Ripley screamed fighting Hicks as he pulled her back up trying to reassure her "I believe you, she's alive but we've got to go, NOW!" He pulled her up and the five resumed running down the corridor, towards an elevator. But before they could get the door shut an Alien came towards them. Hicks killed it, but some of its blood got on his armor, burning through it. By the time they got the armor off, it has burned through onto his chest. Ripley helped him out of the elevator and towards the second drop ship, where Bishop was waiting. "How much time do we have?" Ripley asked helping Hicks in while Gorman followed helping Drake with Vasquez, who was determined to walk up the ramp. "Plenty, 26 minutes" Bishop responded. "We're not leaving" Ripley said "We're not?" Bishop asked confused, shutting the ramp behind him. Ripley explained as he flew towards the Atmospheric Processor. Loading an M-41A Pulse Rifle, Flame Thrower, Grenades, and flares she walked down the ramp towards another elevator. "See you later Hicks, make sure he doesn't leave" Ripley said turning around. Hicks looked over smiling "Dwane" Ripley smiled back "Ellen," "Don't be gone long Ellen" Hicks said, holding gauze over his eye. Ripley smiled, running towards and elevator, going down as far as it would go, sub-level 2. Getting out she turned on the tracker, following the signal, watching for aliens. She reached the end of the signal only finding the small wrist device, but no Newt. Ripley started to cry, when she heard Newt scream. Running towards the noise she destroyed the eggs nearby, and killing one of the approaching aliens. Freeing Newt of her restrains, she continued on into another room, where she met the queen. Emptying her gun into the nearby aliens she then used her flame thrower to destroy the eggs, highly irritating the Queen. Using the grenade launcher she destroyed the long cord coming from the queen then ran to the elevators. Just as the queen showed up the elevator got there and they reached, where the second drop ship should have been, only to find that it was gone. "Bishop you asshole'' Ripley yelled, holding tightly onto Newt. Turning back around, the other elevator came to the top, opening to reveal one very angry looking Queen. "Close your eyes" Ripley murmured softly into Newt's ear. Closing her eyes, she waited for their death when Newt exclaimed "Ripley look!" Turning around she saw the drop ship, with its ladder down a few feet in front of them. Pushing Newt up she quickly grabbed on, pulling herself up, next to Newt and running quickly inside. Closing the ladder they ran further in, sitting down as Bishop began flying towards the Sulaco as quick as it would go, in order to avoid the blast. A few seconds after the reached space the explosion hit them, shaking the drop ship and blinding them in a bright light. But they were safe, now far away from LV 426 and within sight of the Sulaco. Everything seemed to finally be going right.
