Chapter 1 LV-426
Summary: This happens a few months before Ripley's trip to Acheron with the marines. Weyland Yutani heads to the planet to answer a distress signal.
It was a windy day as usual on Acheron. The people of Hadley's Hope, a colony on the planet were in trouble. A Xenomorph hive had grown in the reactor core & now the aliens were running amok. The people had tried to defend themselves but the population was dropping. They sent a desperate distress beacon to Weyland Yutani, the company that started it. "Sir we have a message from Hadley's Hope." a worker said. "Play the message." Henrick said. Henrick was a man in his early 30s whose only love was money. He didn't care how many men got killed so long as he made a buck. He had short brown hair, was medium height, a strong build & was quick to act. He had learned about strange beasts from the report Ripley was forced to write after the Nostromo was lost & was tasked with the job of finding them so he could bring back the creature that spawns Xenomorphs back for study. The worker played the message & it was a video. It said, "This is colonist 456-3 requesting help from Hadley's Hope. We are being overrun by these- (Gunfire in background) creatures and there aren't many of us left. Please- (Xenomorph screeches in background) Send help!" "Gather some soldiers! Alert Bishop! We've found Ellen's pets!" Henrick commanded.
Back on the planet…
The hive was getting new victims everyday. Deep within, a Xenomorph Queen sleeps. Resting on her massive throne, her name is Viciousa. A drone soon approached the queen. "My queen one of your patrol drones saw a ship arriving. What shall we do?" the drone named Seekara asked. "When the prey exit's the ship, take them alive." Viciousa hissed. "Yesss my queen" Seekara said, then she left the queen's chamber. "More victims for my spawn" Viciousa thought.
Outside the hive…
A dropship had landed & armed soldiers exited it. "You know your mission, she's the one that lays eggs, take her alive." Bishop said. The soldiers moved in & found the hive. "Masks on!" Corporal Matthew said. He was the highest ranked soldier in the group. He had no prior experience with the Xenomorphs & didn't even know what to expect from them. Matthew is 26 years old. He's the type of person who cares about his soldiers but will get mad if they don't follow his orders. Matthew has a short temper that can flare easily. The group put on gas masks & they flung grenades into the entrance. They exploded but released a large cloud. The cloud was a new type of chemical gas that causes paralysis when it touched the skin. A Xenomorph drone was the first victim. "Fan it in!" Matthew said. His team pulled out 2 large blankets & blew the gas deeper into the hive. Aliens were getting paralyzed left and right. Viciousa woke up suddenly & saw the large cloud. Her bodyguards were already paralyzed. She heard footsteps & felt a large chain wrap around her neck. "Foolish humans!" Viciousa thought. She stood up from her egg-laying & broke the chain with little effort. She couldn't see where the chain came from due to the gas & she couldn't smell the intruders. Viciousa, being a queen, wasn't being taken down by the gas so easily. She heard a voice & ran towards it, only to be caught in ankle shackles. Then her arms were tied down with flexible chains that tightened each time she moved. Her tail was thrashing this way & that but then it was weighed down by a heavy chain. "These chains worked like a dream! Take her away!" Matthew said. Viciousa screeched loudly as she was brought to the dropship & placed in a cage. "Sir, we have her, Feisty the Xenomorph Queen. We will return to base in 2 months." Matthew said in a message recording. "Feisty?! How dare they?! Giving me such a primitive name! I'll shred them to ribbons!" Viciousa thought.
Viciousa: Feisty?! Really?!
Me: Well… It could've been worst
Viciousa: R & R
