I'm gonna try a bit harder with this story, because I've re-watched all the movies, and I do mean ALL of them, and it reminded of why I wanted to create this story.
But enough blabbing, and onto to the story!
Your name- (Y/N)
Your favorite/eye color- (F/E)
Your hair color- (H/C)
Your Hair length- (H/L)
The two hour walk to base was horrible in your mind, but you were somewhat happy that it was only fifteen minutes away. You kept hearing your teammates making comments about how different your armor was to theirs. You weren't sure if they were either jealous, or sarcastic. It seemed to be a mixture of both. But one thing you were sure of; the whip-wielding woman named Rianna definitely didn't like you. She looked at you as if you were a little kid holding everyone back.
But your mind was elsewhere. You were trying to figure what it was you saw an hour ago when you first started figuring out your eye mask. The thing was a little bulky and heavy, but it leveled out your eyesight, giving you the advantage.
"Damn thing..."You muttered to yourself, scratching around the area where the mask made contact with your forehead. It was making it slightly itchy, and it was ruffling your (H/C) at your forehead, making you readjust it time and again.
"Why don't you just take the damn thing off?" You heard a woman's voice with a southern accent. You towards her and realized that it was Rianna. "That's making you look like of them."
"Look like who exactly?" You replied. Her tone was starting to tick you off.
"Who do you think? The acid heads!" She said rolling her eyes, and whipping her blonde ponytail. "Maybe you won't have to kill 'em. Maybe they'll take you in as one of their own."
"Maybe they will. Their company would be so much better than yours." You replied. You switched your vision to infrared, keeping an eye out for the same figure you saw earlier. "And their voices won't make me wanna drive scissors through my ears."
"Excuse me?!" She cried out, but you didn't want to fight with her anymore so you walked away, looking in every direction besides hers. She then grabbed your arm to stop you. "Hey, come and say that again, bitch!"
"What's all that ruckus! Smith! (Y/N)!" You heard the Lieutenant yell which made you freeze and straighten your back as he approached you and Rianna."Is there a problem here soldiers?!"
"Sir, she started it!" She said pointing to you before putting her hands behind her back, just like you had yours. You simply rolled your eyes and kept quiet. If you learned anything so far on this trip, was that your chief had a short fuse. "Sir, she made some rude comments sir!"
'What the hell... damn cow!' You thought to yourself, as you silently rolled your eyes under your eye mask.
"Sir, merely spoke my mind to her." You stated. The Lieutenant looked back to each of you. You kept your vision in infrared, so you could see that her body temperature began rising to her head. "It wasn't my intention to make her yell and stop the group, sir."
"Hmm!" He looked to both of you and you could see that he mainly looked at you. "Smith, keep your yap shut until we get to base! And from what I just seen, you were the one to get physical! Next time I see that bullshit, you're going back to boot camp!" He yelled at her which made her jump a little. "And (Y/N), keep your thoughts to yourself!" He turned away and looked at his watch. "We need to be in the base at 1900 hours, and we only got ten minutes left until the completely shut off the entrances. So thanks to you to, we're behind schedule! I expect you both to be quiet the rest of the way there! Do you get me!?"
"Sir yes sir!" You both said at the same time.
"Good! Now lets go before we're all xenomorphs meals on the go!" He led the team in front, and everyone followed.
You heard Rianna scoff before walking past you, subtlety bumping into your shoulder. You just shook your head at her, and kept looking out past everyone in infrared vision. Your mind like being on it's own rather than conversing with your team. It would've been nice, but the last time that happened, one of your teammates named Brad nearly crossed a line when he asked if you were single.
Being one of the two only women on the team made it a little difficult when most of the men probably haven't any relations with any women for months.
You shrugged it off, and just kept a lookout for the same figure. You weren't sure what it was, but you were going to keep it to yourself for a while until you figured out if it was a xenomorph or possibly a predator.
You switched your vision back to normal and gave your eyes a break. Looking around in a different bright eyesight was making your eyes hurt a little. While walking, you took off your eye mask, and rubbed your eyes a little to ease them a little. Feeling that someone was staring at you, you look over your shoulder and saw one of your teammates staring at you, but quickly looking away when they seen you abnormal (F/E) eyes. You couldn't make out who it was, but you were glad it wasn't the blonde bitch Rianna. But whoever it was, they certainly seemed scare after looking into your eyes.
You fixed your (H/L) hair and fitted your eye-mask back on. You open them and everything was clear again. You didn't look for the soldier who saw your eyes, because you were going to assume that they all would see your eyes soon enough if you were going to be working with them.
You switched it back to infrared, and looked far into the distance, and saw two figures. They weren't like the one you saw earlier; these ones were more humanly shaped.
"(Y/N)!" You heard the Lieutenant yell. You straightened your back and to him. "Since you have the Advance EEV mask, can you tell me how far the base is from here?!"
You quickly calculated the distance between your team and figures you seen in the distance.
"Sir, I believe we're approximately twenty meters from base!" You said, pointing to the figures you saw after switching your vision back to normal. "I can tell you have two men standing outside in camouflage, Sir!"
He nodded with a little smile. "Good work (Y/N)!" He turned and began walking again. "Now you see soldiers, the outer shell of this base is made up of the same technology that gave of enemies, the Predators the camouflage ability to hide in plain sight. Literally." He picked up a rock, and threw it at the sky, watching it fall until it hit something, and tumble back down to the ground."This base is made of panels that are connected to control modules that hide everything under it, in the shape of a giant dome! (Y/N), can you see the outline of the base?"
"No sir, I cannot." You replied.
"Good, that means our countermeasures to be seen by the xenomorphs has worked to perfection!"
He led the team to two large trees, and stopped abruptly. "Lieutenant Williams of the XMTF here reporting for duty!" He screamed at nothing, but suddenly two men dressed in shrubs appeared from within the trees.
'Those two must've been the ones I seen!" You thought to yourself as they opened two doors that led to the base.
"Ten-hut!" One of the men yelled out as a man in uniform came out, and you saw that he had four stars that ranked him as general. You all quickly straightened up, with your chins up.
"At ease!" He said. "Soldiers, may enter in with your teammates that you will be working with in teams of three and there will three teams of three and one team of four, which will leave one of you running solo for the entire time you're here. We'll start with: Mason, Johnson, and Hilton, you three are the meta squad.
He went on and divided nine of your teammates into groups of three, and four were being selected for the last team. Your attention however was somewhere else. You felt someone staring at you, but you were standing alone. You quickly switched your vision to infrared again, and looked behind you and there you saw the same figure from earlier, staring directly at you.
You stood frozen as you studied it from afar. From what you could tell from the heat signatures, the figure was masculine, and at least 6'5' if not taller, the mask it was wearing was odd, and-
"Whyte, O'Neill, Carson, and Smith!" You heard the general yell, and it caused you to quickly turn your head back to him. "You are the Alpha squad. And that leaves... (Y/N) as the solo hunter! As she has managed to outrank you all on both the physical and mental training, she gets the rank of Private! If you all had the same scores as she did, maybe then you would all be in the same position!"
You looked around to see your teammates glaring at you. You simply just shrugged at them and smirked. You knew that your were going to get the solo hunter rank. As he was given the list f which cabins are whose, you turned your attention to the same area. But before you got lost in thought, you walked towards the General as he had called you up.
"Alright, (Y/N), you're the Solo hunter, which means you're the Nightwalker." He shook your hand as you stood in front of him. "I trust you understand what that means."
"Sir, it means I will be watching and guarding the caravans and ensuring they make it to their destinations safely and searching for any and all ovomorphs without compromising my position in the late hours, sir."
"Good work solider!" He says to you as you salute him, and to join your teammates. "Now soldiers, you will be stuck with your teammates for the rest of the time you are here. Meaning, you will dine with your team, you will sleep in the same cabin with your team, and you will watch out for all your teammates! Do I make myself clear?!"
"SIR YES SIR!"
"Good! Now Beta team, you're in cabin A1. Head out!" He yelled and three of your teammates start running towards the cabins off in the distance. "Delta team! You're in cabin B2. Head out!" Another three of your teammates headed out towards the cabins, "Echo team! You're in cabin C3! Head out!" He continued until he got to Alpha team.
"Alpha team! You're in D4! Head out!" The rest of your team left you, and you stood there alone, unsure of which cabin he was going to send you to.
And finally, Private (Y/N)! You're in Z1! Head out!" You nod to him, and run off to see who you are bunked with.
"A1, B2, C3..." You say as you walk by the cabins of your teammates, but not finding Z1, your cabin.
"Private!" You hear behind you. You turn and see Lieutenant Williams running up to you. "Your cabin is sectioned off from everyone else's."
"What?" You ask him. "Is my cabin outside the base sir?"
"No, since you have been ranked as Private, you will get you own cabin next to mine." He explained to you. You felt a little happy that you didn't have to share, but you knew that your teammates wouldn't let it go if they knew. Rianna will probably complain for sure since she's stuck bunking with two guys.
"I will show you where they're at." He says, running off in the direction of the private cabin in the far side of the base. You follow him, and soon, you see four meduim sized cabins numbered off Z1 through Z7.
Yours was the very first one you saw.
All your nervous energy about being ranked higher melted away as you saw your new private cabin.
You smiled in delight when you thought of how mad Rianna will be when she sees it.
Sorry it was long, but yea... I like writing.
Thanks for reading, and I'll be back soon!
