Alien Vs. Predator: Huntress
Prologue: Infestation
Blood dripped from the skull in his hand. It was the skull of a 'soft meat' or human as they called themselves. He set it down on the black metal table before him. He slid his finger across its forehead before grabbing a metal tube from the side of the counter. He pressed a button on its handle and the tube end started to glow with an odd blue shade. He pressed it the skull's bloody exterior. The blood and flesh burned away like paper to expose the white bone under.
After the flesh was burnt off he set the tube back and pulled out another object, this one was circular and had short metal bristles on the end. He pressed it too to the skull and it gave it a bright gleam to it, the polished skull sat before him, it tooth filled grin staring blank at him.
He gripped the jawbone and lifted it up of the still bloody counter up to look at it. Behind the skull was a wall of other polished skulls, not all 'soft meat'. One, the larges, was right before him in the middle; he set the skull down them looked up at his prize trophy, the skull of a queen 'hard meat'. The massive eyeless skull stared at him with its long fangs.
HISS. It came from behind him. He tensed up; he knew that sound to well. His eyes quickly searched for a weapon to use. His eyes stopped on his mask that sat on the counter next to the puddle of blood. On the forehead of his he saw the monster behind him. The image was distorted but it gave him his attacker.
He quickly grabbed at the tube he used to burn the flesh of the skull. Claws dug quickly into his shoulders, he felt the pain of the needle like fingernails as they tore through his armor. The monster swiftly mashed him down to the counter. His face smacked hard on the metal of the counter as the nails dug deeper. He kicked at the monster's legs from behind. He hit it but it still dripped his shoulders. As the monster regained itself he through his head back and felt the back of his skull connect to the thing's mouth. It flew back but pilled him back with it. They tumbled to the metal grated floor and he felt the monster's nails pull out.
The monster screeched in pain as it thrashed back up onto its feet before he did. He lay face down on the grating but quickly rolled over in time to see the creature come down upon him. A clawed hand slammed down on his face pushing it to the side so he still didn't get a good look at it. He felt the hot drool dripping from its fanged lips. He strained his eyes to see it. All out of the corner of his eye he saw was the monster's dagger like teeth pulling apart to expose a smaller set inside its mouth. The monster's hot breath panted at it's second set of teeth pushed out slowly toward him on it's long tongue. The fangs shredded and ripped at his neck. He felt the teeth digging and slashing deeper into his flesh. He tasted blood in his mouth till he saw the glowing green blood started to pool rapidly around his head.
His eyes felt heavy as he stared and waited for his now inevitable death. He felt the claws dig in once again, they buried into his scalp and his arm. He fought to free his one arm, the one that had his wristblades, Ki'cti-pa, but the monster overpowered him and kept it from moving up again. It sat in a crouch atop his chest; it's feet pressing on his chest. He felt the hot drool dripping over his bloodied face, as it looked him over.
A roar bounced off the walls of the metal hallway. He looked weakly up, another of his clan members stood there. The monster still holding him down looked at the other too. It let out a sickening screech as it leaped from his chest at the other clan member.
The other clan member grabbed the monster's neck as it hissed and clawed at him. The clan member tossed the monster hard against the wall and it squealed as it hit. The clan member's name was Guan-H'dlak. He had a thick metal mask over his face. The monster quickly grabbed the edge of Guan-H'dlak's mask.
The name of the clan member that lay staring was Bakuub, he stared at Guan-H'dlak as he fell back as the 'hard meat' clawed the mask till it had one of the mask's eyes torn open to expose Guan-H'dlak's eye. Bakuub stared in helpless horror as another of the Kiande amedha crawled out of the twisted piping above Guan-H'dlak. Bakuub tried to speak but his neck wound kept him from warning Guan-H'dlak of the danger.
The second monster leaped to the flooring, standing on its hind legs as it stared down at Guan-H'dlak. Bakuub clawed to his feet and pressed a couple of buttons on his left forearm control panel. The plasma gun on his left shoulder lifted and pointed at the two Kiande amedha. The gun started to hum just as it was preparing to fire.
Bakuub felt a hard smack it his chest and he was sent to the floor once again. The gun went off and tore into the roofing of the hallway. Piping burst and the whole hallway quaked and the hall quickly dipped to an almost 90 degree angle. Bakuub flew and hit his jaw on the piping on what once was the roof and fell toward Guan-H'dlak and the two monsters. He quickly grabbed one of the piping and hung there as another eruption shook the hallway. He heard the engines to the ship start to sputter and fail as the ship rocked again.
