Their moment was cut shot when the alien Queen punch her way out the ice flood.

ColdBlade and DarkFire both know that this wear Scar die. But what they didn't know how brave their litter brother was as he stood he ground and give that bitch all the hell she could stand. But with a swing of her steel tail sending him in the air he try to get but was knock back down by the Queen she rise her bladed tail up for final stark but was stop by Lex as stab her spear into the Queen neck causing her to roar in pain and sending Lex frying as well but she quickie got up pull off her red Jackie that had some acid blood on it and run for her life .As for the Queen she pull out Lex spear and give chase Lex somehow magnet to keep her head on as the Queen try to bite it off before clawing under a old water tank .
