The Arrival and the Escape

A ship soared through Earth's atmosphere, and landed on an island in Lake Superior. It was a Yautja spacecraft. Onboard were a crew of Yautja workers and hunters, and the leader and owner of the spacecraft was the Eldest of the crew. It was a transport vessel, transporting xenomorph facehuggers to a pyramid, but there was mechanical issue, and they had to land. The Elder stood in the view port looking over the vast body of water. Two workers held a stretcher like object which carried three tanks that held facehuggers towards the containment. The hunters sat in a room surrounded with skulls meditating.

Two mechanics working in the engine at the bottom of the ship by the rockets continued to work with the tools. One of them, using an electric prod, gave the ship a sudden shock. This caused the ship to shake, and one of the facehugger tanks to shift. The workers did not notice, and after placing the tanks in their proper spot walked away. The mechanic gave the ship another shock, and this time, the facehugger tank fell, and crashed on the ground. The facehugger was free to infect. Fortunately all the Yautjas had their masks on so it could not infect them. But on the vessel the Yautjas were transporting two Utahraptors to be cloned on their planet, for the hunt. Conveniently, the facehugger wandered into that area, and the raptors did not have any facial protection.

When it fell to the ground and died after impregnating the raptor, it was not long before the chestburster appeared, but it was like any other chestburster, all its teeth were needle sharp, it was bipedal, and on its feet were two razor sharp claws. It then dashed out of the containment room at full speed. One Yautja walked into the facehugger containment, and noticed the shattered tank and the missing facehugger. He ran towards the alarm button but before he got far, the full-grown Raptor Alien fell of above and gored the Yautja with the massive claw. The mature xenomorph was a sight to behold, it was big, bigger then the warriors. The head was the classic xenomorph shape, but had two vertical ridges in the middle, and in the mouth were nothing but needles, needles, and more needles. The tail was a built in whip, and on the tip was a three tipped prong. The torso and feet resembled that of Utahraptor (with the typical xenomorph details), and the arms were typical xenomorph arms, but were three fingered and resembled Utahraptor claws.

One Yautja who heard the commotion ran into the room and saw the Raptor Alien standing over the mauled worker. He immediately fired his plasma cannon, but the Raptor dodged it. The worker activated the alarm, and the Elder and the hunters strode into the room.

"There is a xenomorph loose in the ship, it has already killed someone," said the one who activated the alarm.

"Find, and kill it," said the Elder.

The Yautjas split up. One of them found something, but not the Raptor, but the broken tanks of more than ten other facehuggers. And another found something even worse, a huge hole in the ships side, the favehuggers and the Raptor had escaped.
