(A/N: So I was playing Alien: Isolation and let me tell you it's fucking awesome compared to the other Alien games I played. especially with the Xenomorph hiding from every corner and you don't know where he's coming from. that's how all Alien games should be! Hell even AngryJoe agrees with me! so I thought...why not make a fanfic of my favourite childhood Sci-fi movie Alien. I don't own Alien but my OC Dante.)

Alien: a strange turn of events

Chapter 1

(Dante's pov)

The Date is September 18, 2020. My name is Dante Vera. I'm 28 years old and I'm a Science professor at a university at Colorado. Science was always been my favourite thing especially studying alien life forms. I work as an undercover scientist working for the government on studying aliens and other unusual lifeforms. most of it is top secret so I not rather go on with further details.

I was studying in my room eating breakfast when I heard a knock on the door. the knock sounded quiet urgent too the way how quick the knock was.

"come in."

The door opened and I looked behind me to see Professor Matthews by the door. an scientist who takes my place most of the times when I have business to do and also works with the government just like me.

"mind if I come in?"

"sure."

He comes in the room and quickly closes the door.

"is everything alright?"

"yes but there's something I want to show you."

He shows me a letter and I was curious. I took the letter and started reading.

"a science team?"

"well more like an expedition team but yes. they were quite intrigue of your studies on unusual life forms that they want you to check some live specimens they managed to capture."

"I have a bad feeling about this...this is the first time someone from a different group other than the government requesting my assistance."

it's rather suspicious if you ask me.

"I know how you feel about the risks of seeing new species but at least you'll be protected this time. plus the government agreed to this if it's okay with you."

I sighed. in all of my times studying of new species I was always alone and there were times I was close to my death. something tells me that this may different and I may be dealing with something far worse than my previous studies. I look at the professor with a serious look.

"fine...I'll go. when do you think they'll get here?"

"they say they'd come once you agreed you come with them. I'll call them right now."

"I'll start packing my belongings."

"oh and Dante? be careful. who knows what species you're going to be dealing with and I would hate to hear my best friend die from what lifeform they want you to see."

"thank you for your concern."

the Professor leaves and I started packing my belongings and took my ID card from my desk and my revolver. the revolver is for safety percautions in case things get ugly. I always kept it close to me whenever I have to subdue a hostile lifeform.

After I packed up, I walked out of the university and waited. for maybe about an hour or so of me waiting at the front of the university, a car pulls up in front of me and rolls the window down. a man probably in his late 30's with sunglasses and suit on sees me as if he trying to see if I'm the real deal.

"Doctor Dante?" he asked.

"yes?"

"...come with me."

I carried my suitcase and went to the passenger seat. I put on my seatbelt and the man drives off. We were quiet for a minutes and I continued looking out of the window.

"glad you could join us. names Doctor Frederick Johnson. head of the science team. I've heard of your events 4 years ago. quite amazing. the discovery of big foot, discovery of aliens at Delaware. we could use someone like you in our team."

"so what are we dealing?"

"straight to the point. I like that. we found an interesting yet unusual lifeform that you might be interested on. check it out."

he shows me a photo of an alien that got me curious. this alien was something different. it had a black exoskeleton, Sleek and skeleton looking legs, a banana shaped head, two spikes jutted out of his back, a long tail with a sharp blade on it, no eyes on his face which pretty much tells tells it has a lack of vision and sharp teeth.

"what the hell...this is new."

"indeed. we need your help studying this thing so we can find out it's purpose."

"it's contained right? don't want that thing roaming around if it's hostile."

"sharp as always. yes it's contained. no need to worry about it."

"understood."

we stopped in front of some sort space craft and we got out of the car.

"here we are. this ship will take us to our base and we can get to business."

we got in the ship and sat on our seats. we buckled our seatbelts and the pilot started up the ship and flew the ship up to the sky.

"so...where are we heading?" I asked Frederick.

"I'm glad you asked. space. that's where we made our discovery on the thing." He said with a smile.

"I...see..."

I was worried. I've never been to space in my life I will admit that but that's not the point. I was worried of what that thing was and it's purpose. is it hostile to kill any living being it sees or is it something else?

"you okay?"

"yeah...just on edge of what creature I'm going to see...that's all."

Frederick shrugged and looked out the window.

for probably three or four days...

"we're here..."

I look out the window and I see a space base which somewhat reminds me of a space ship I've seen in Sci-fi movies when I was a kid but a bit bigger.

The pilot lands on a landing bay inside the ship.

"come on. I want to show you the crew." he said in a bit of cheerful voice as we got off the ship.

I looked around and I noticed a sign that says "Weyland-Yutani company." I never heard of this company so I was rather curious and suspicious about their purpose. as we got in the base, I was greeted by three scientists and they seem very surprised to see me.

"Gentlemen. this is Doctor Dante Vera. the son and successor of James Vera." Frederick said as he introduced me to the scientists.

"Nice to meet you, Gentlemen." I said.

they greeted me back with a somewhat cheery tone like they were my #1 fans and let me tell you...they never stopped talking about my past discoveries.

"okay, okay. that's enough. give Dante some room he had a long night with his studies. best give him some time to adjust his surroundings." Frederick said as he chuckled.

"Thank you, Frederick. let me know when you're ready with the Alien once I adjust my surroundings."

"will do. when you hear you're name being called on the intercom, we'll be in that room over there." Frederick said as he pointed at a room that says "Lab 018".

I nod and started walking around the base and at the same time loud banging noises were heard in the room Frederick showed me. I stopped walking when the banging stopped and I heard a loud screeching noise. the noise was so loud that I almost took out my revolver fearing whatever was in that room broke free.

a guard walks next to me and tells me there's nothing to worry about and that whatever was in the room was trying to break free and was never successful. I sigh in relief and kept looking around the base. what was in that room? this was the first time in my life that I'm both curious and...scared. scared that whatever is there...is going to be the end of me.

(So how was it? This is my first Alien Fanfic and right now I'm trying my best on remembering what the Xenomorph does in the movies when I was a kid so bear with me and let me tell you I find those species much more Fascinating than the Predators (no offense to Predator fans.) But that doesn't mean I hate the Predator so let's not jump to conclusions because it's my second favourite out of the series)
