"Research ship"

In a flash, river was halted. 'sister, I haven't removed the stasis field yet.' Jason commented with a deadpan (just role with it, in this story the aliens can show human facial expressions. I will come up with an explanation, do not worry about it), watching her get thrown back into her cell by the energy shield. 'you can thank me later.' He said as he removed the invisible wall.

He then opened a link to his 5 brothers 'please step away from your doors.' He said as he started releasing them.

When they were all out he was bombarded by thoughts and questions, hissing them into silence he told them they had to wait until they had full control of the ship.

With his command they left the room, but not before Jason destroyed the equipment. Changing into one of the scientists, Jason made the others retreat to the ventilation shafts. Thinking to himself, Jason leaned against the wall 'this ship is set to arrive in the _SystemHarTen. The humans have seen much activity from a hive there. I bet it is a new Queen; this ship must be ours before we arrive or there could be danger.

To the hive he relayed the message, 'go to the cargo hold, I am going to get some cribs.' They obeyed flawlessly.

Looking into his newest memories, Jason decided to start with the 7th squad.

After 1 ½ weeks of kidnappings, the ship was nearly panicking. The hive had a total of 68 cribs ready for birthing. He had taken out all of the military presence, all that were left were the crew and a few synthetics.

Jason had also grown close to his new family, and they had /unfortunately/ started to almost worship him. Stream had once asked if he was even Xeno. He of course said yes, but deep down he didn't even know.

His powers were so abstract that he had trouble comprehending it sometimes. It started with his first ability when he hatched.

His mother had told him what to do. He had crawled towards his sister, slightly afraid of what he was about to do. He had made her open herself, even though there was no crib to be had, and he had reached in her. With his tail he had found her core, and he had ripped it out of her and placed it within himself. The rush of strength was amazing, but then he noticed something. He had gained more than just power; her memories had come to his disposal!

Then his mother had forced him to take her own core, stronger than his sister's he had been forced to cut it out of her. But it hurt so much, killing his mother like that. But with the last bit of her life, she had made him promise her one thing… he had to be the Nex King.

He hadn't understood completely, but he had made that promise to her.

When her memories had hit him, he nearly blacked out. She had so many experiences, he had nearly lost himself. But, he survived it and remained himself. Following her last command, he had dug into the warm flesh of his gigantic father.

When he reached his core he was taken aback by its size. At 4 feet tall and with a circumference of 6 ½ feet, he knew he couldn't just absorb it. So he had cut it open and nestled into it. Going into a hibernation until his body finished absorbing it for him. His last thought was how much it reminded of his egg.

In three months time, he had finished absorbing his father's core. During his hibernation, he had also assimilated the total information into different areas of his mind to help prevent ever being overwhelmed again.

When he had awoken, he had changed. His body was still coiled, but he had for some reason lost his legs. His body resembled a large tail now. His skin turned completely red and became covered in black armor. He had also grown, his previous 7 ft length had increased to 13 ½ feet and he had gained 83 pounds. His blade had also become larger and sharper than before.

On instinct, he had turned around and shoved his tail completely through his father's chest. He then worked himself out through the new hole. Using his mother's memories, he had returned to her hive and changed again.

/

2 years had passed in the blink of an eye. His time was spent practicing his mother's abilities. He had gained her ability to change, but on a far greater scale. The more cores he absorbed, the more power he gained. And the more power he had, the more he could do with it.

He had evolved her changing into something much stronger. He could shapeshift, and he had discovered a new ability. He could talk, verbally.

/

Throughout his time on his home planet, Jason had assimilated his whole hive into himself. He also discovered just what his mother had asked of him.

It was an old story from the Fistmother's time. The Nex King was a force of nature itself. Invulnerable, unmatchable, and unstoppable in its desires it was. He was supposedly the first intelligent lifeform and gifted by the darkness all of his powers.

But one day, he just vanished. All that remained of him was a single plate of his armor, and even that was lost with time.

His mother had believed he could become the Nex King due to her and his father's combined abilities. And he was determined to never let her down. He would never break that promise, on his life.
