Chapter 2: New Hunt
The female Bioraptor slowly awoke. Looking around, she saw the facehugger lying on the floor, dead. Without hesitation, she devoured it and the egg within a few seconds. Still starving, she began to ram the glass with all her might. After a few minutes passed, a crack began to form. Backing up, the female performed one last ram that shattered the glass and sent her skidding across the floor on the opposite side of the cage.
Shaking the loose glass off her head, her whooped several times in order to understand her new surroundings. She quickly sensed the presence of a potential prey item. Running off, she turned around the corner and found, at the end of the hall, a sleeping form. Slowly, she made her way over to it.
Grant woke with a start. Scratching his head, he could have sworn he heard something, but quickly forgot about it, thinking it was his imagination. Grabbing his bottle of whisky, he took a swig before hearing a scratching sound, like that of claws on a floor. Looking around, he saw nothing in the dark hallways. He said "I hate this job...what time is it?" and looked at his watch. Suddenly he heard a sound as if something was running towards him, and looking up, he screamed as a Bioraptor leaped out of the shadows, jaws wide open.

Tyrus swung his arm upward, his wrist blades severing a Bioraptors neck, decapitating it. He then pulled out a burner, which sent out a wave of flames directly in front of him, incinerating several Bioraptors and causing the others to go berserk as the light produced harmed their tiny sensative eyes.
Rage pulled a glaive off his back and swung it, slashing a Bioraptor in half when suddenly a second one tackled him from behind and pinned him to a wall. As it prepared a bite him, Grul swung a bola at it, knocking it off and electrocuting it.
Meanwhile Tarak and Krunol were setting up a laser net along the final tunnel in an attempt to hold the Bioraptors off long enough for an escape. A Bioraptor, sensing them, leaped at them when all of a sudden Grul smashed his combi stick onto its head, knocking it off course right into a blast from Tyrus' plasma caster. As this happened the final net was activated, holding off the Bioraptors...for now.
The Yautja begin to climb out of the caverns via the ropes, and as they just exit, one of the laser nets breaks. The Yautja begin to enter the ship when suddenly a large Bioraptor flies out of the hole. They see that it is an albino, and that it is blind. The Bioraptor screeches before leaping, sending both Rage and Grul flying backwards with a whip of its twin tails, and breaking Tarak's arm with a whack of its left wing before knocking Tyrus down. The alpha Biowarrior prepares to decapitate him when Tyrus grabs onto its head, snapping its neck with one twist.
Tyrus slowly gets up, and then roars, his arms outstretched. Lifting the body, he drags it onto the ship, the groups trophy. They would need to return homeward in order to get repairs. As they board, they all hear squeaks coming from one of the open side rooms. Looking in, they see a mass of infant Bioraptors hanging from the ceiling, most likely the same group that blinded Grul earlier. Rage slowly hits a switch, causing the room to be sealed off...they now had a new prey.
Their ship bursts off the moon just as the planet begins to eclipse the sun, shrouding the world in darkness...and filling it with the cries of Bioraptors.

Jack and Carl were heading back to the cages when they noticed blood on the ground. Jack says "Huh...Grant must have broken his bottle again...I just know that drinking will be the death...of...him..." and then noticed a severed arm on the floor. Carl begins to shake with fear while Johnson opens the nearby door, leading to the armory. He takes two assault rifles and hands one to Carl, saying "Hold it together man, or your as good as dead."
As they both continued forward, they found more and more of Grant. As they turned a corner, they came face to face with the female Bioraptor. The female, sensing the humans arrival, leaped forward, attacking the smaller one, who she presumed to tear apart.
Jack watched in horror as Carl was brutally torn to shreds, and then he ran for his life, fearing he would be next. Just then a group of workers turned the corner right upon the Bioraptor. Seeing the creature feeding on Carl horrified them, and they fled to as the female took chase. Seeing a door up ahead, they quickly enter the freezer and close the door behind them, hearing a thump as the female rams it.
The female Bioraptor attempts to break down the door several more times, only managing to jam the door...and damage the pipe controlling the temperature, shutting it down. She suddenly feels an intense pain from within her chest. The pain begins to throb, causing her to go beserk. She runs down several corridors before smashing her way into the kitchen before collapsing...dead. All of a sudden a cracking sound is heard as something attempts to break free from the dead Bioraptors chest. With one final push, a queen Chestbuster rips through the flesh, screeching.
The infant Xenoraptor has the head crest, and thus the echolocation, of the Bioraptors. She also has their wings and twin tails. Like a Xenomorph, she is covered in a black armor-like skin and has acidic blood and saliva, the latter being less potent. Finally, she has two pairs of arms ending in sharp claws, more Xenomorphic eyes protecting it from sunlight, and finally its twin tails end in Xenomorph barbs.
The Xenoraptor chestburster begins to survey its surroundings, noticing a nearby fridge that was forced open by the female Bioraptors struggles. The infant crawled inside and began to feed in order to prepare to molt into its adult form.

On the Yautja home world, the initiates were receiving medical attention after recieving their passage into adulthood. Meanwhile Tyrus returned to his trophy den with the dead albino alpha Bioraptor. As he passed several of his trophies, ranging from a stuffed Arachnid Warrior, several human skulls, Xenomorph skulls, and a robotic human-like skull with dull red eyes, he reached the "preparation" room. His task now was to clean his trophy, stuff it, and finally mount it. After this was completed, he would gather a group of veteran warriors to go after the thieves of the Xenomorph eggs.
