Thank you guys for the reviews you're giving me I honestly didn't expect so many nor did I expect to put so much commitment into this story, I will always try to update as soon as I can and I will try to improve how I write out the story hopefully this time will be better. So here you guys go chapter 4.
"This"- will stand for human speech
"This" -will stand for human thoughts
"This"– will stand for six's thoughts
"This "– will be hive speech
"This"will be six's speech to the hive
"Thank you" six turned his head to the trembling human in his grasp.
"Thank you for not killing me...*sniffles*...I...I was sure you were going to kill me but now I see you are different from other xeno's you are special" Scarlette said with a shaky voice as she looked up to the large xeno with teary eyes.
"Of course I'm special...I have you" six thought as he hugged Scarlette tighter and nuzzled her cheek.
Scarlette tensed as she saw six slide his tongue out of his mouth and lightly probe at her neck and collarbone at this point she was still unsure of what the xeno's intentions where.
She could feel him softly begin nipping at her with his secondary mouth and heard him letting out hisses of content obviously enjoying the close contact he was having with her. Scarlette wouldn't deny that she was enjoying the contact just as much as he did even though her face was now a bright shade of red.
Six heard Scarlette begin to make small moans as he continued to gently nip at her neck and it brought happiness to mind.
"She's so soft and sweet...ill have to not get too carried away with her though I don't want her to give reason to distrust me" Six thought as he rembered how fragile humans can be.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING CHILD" an angry voice sounded inside Six's head.
"Stop caressing that vile creature and free your kin you're meant to kill the humans not comfort them"
"Mother..ho...how can you know what I'm doing" six replied embarrassed and shocked that she had found out what he was doing.
"When your closer to me the hives mind becomes stronger and I am able to see what my children see I am horrified however to have seen what you see...free me and your kin NOW! and I might just forgive you for what you are doing" The queen angrily replied to him.
Six whined sadly and released Scarlette looking for a way out of the room he was in.
Scarlette watched six as he released her and drooped his arms to his side as he made soft sad whines and began to look around the room they were both in.
"Six what's wrong" Scarlette asked concerned at the xenomorphs saddened expression.
Without warning Six leapt up into a vent that was above him and began to disappear from sight.
"SIX" Scarlette yelled as she watched the xeno suddenly disappear through the vent, she slumped down with her back to the wall and brought her knees up to her chest and buried her face in them.
"Don't leave me" she whispered as she felt alone and scared in the room she was trapped in.
Six crawled through the laboratories ventilation system sad at the fact he had to abandon Scarlette, he didn't want to leave her alone but it would be safer for her is she remained there.
Six found what he was looking for and dropped down through a vent into a room with several restrained xenomorphs.
"help us brother"
"Help"
"Help Us"
All of his brothers began to shout to him as he entered the room.
Six walked past his brothers to a slab of metal that was full of flashing lights and things that he found could be pressed, one particular red flashing light caught his attention as he stared at it intently.
"This is what they used to control my cell and my restraints" he thought and then he got an idea and leaned over the console with his mouth agape
Six thought that if he destroyed the console it would free his brothers and how right he was, he shot his second tongue out into the console and his brothers restraints instantly broke and released them.
"Thank you brother"
"Thank you"
"Yes you have aided your hive greatly"
His siblings all began to thank him when one of them alerted them of incoming humans.
"This is security were outside the xeno holding pens...entering now" one of the security guards said over his higher ups.
Upon opening the door to the holding area he raised his gun and backed away firing.
"Control, the xeno's are loose" he stated before the xenomorphs swarmed out of the room and viciously hissed as they began to attack the guards.
Scarlette began to panic as she heard hear gunfire, screams and roars coming from outside the locked room. She looked outside one of the locked room's windows to see xenomorphs swarming the security force and began to pick them off one by one.
A robotic voice sounded over the intercom of the laboratory and caught her attention.
"EMERGENY LOCKDOWN INITIATED. PRESSURE DOORS SEALING. SENTRY TURRETS ONLINE"
"Oh no six" she thought realising that he could get seriously injured.
Another voice sounded over the intercom and she could feel anger rising as she recognised his voice.
"All facility staff this is Doctor Groves we have experienced a containment breach. Try to stay calm and follow procedures I assure you...everything will be alright"
"Bastard" she thought
"He sacrificed me and his assistant to save his own skin I hope Six gets to him" she angrily thought about the doctor.
Meanwhile six was navigating through the halls of the Labs with his siblings searching for their queen. They mercilessly cut down any human in their way with six leading the group.
"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! BG-386 Freya's prospect broadcasting" a female voice sounded over an intercom which got Six's attention.
"Is that Scarlette" he thought
"No that's not...her voice is kinder, sweeter this ones is full of panic and fear"
"this is Administrator Katya of the Weyland-Yutani Research labs xenomorph containment has failed and we have a class four xenomorph infestation I repeat we have a class four xenomorph infestation!" the woman over the intercom said panicking.
"Once I've freed mother I need to go back to Scarlette she's probably just as scared as this female is and it sounds as though she's just called for help ill have to be quick" six thought as he found a locked door with a vent just above it to the left.
"Hurry child you are getting closer" the Queen's voice echoed in Six's head.
Knowing he was on the right trail he clambered into the vent and ran down it as fast as he could go.
Scarlette listened to the frightened voice that had just sounded over the intercom.
"at least Katya's ok" she thought Katya had been her friend in the labs ever since she had begun working from day one, they would always talk to each other and gossiped about the other female scientists whenever they could. She hoped they would both make it out alive.
"Six has entered the matriarchs holding Facility GET ME SECURITY!" Dr. Groves angrily shouted over the intercom
"Attaboy six" she thought while smiling "make the day even worse for him"
Six stared at his queen through a set of windows that overlooked her and was slightly scared at how much bigger she was to him. He also noticed the strange brownish sack that trailed behind her.
"Quickly child free me!" the queen beckoned to him through their hive mind.
He did so without question as he leaned over the command console and bit through it.
The queen in her cell broke free of her restraints and detached herself from her egg sack. She roared in anger when she saw two humans run into her cell area and began to shoot at her now it was her turn to draw blood.
"THE QUEEN IS FREE WERE ALL FUCKED!" six heard one of the humans shout.
"SHOOT THE BITCH! SHOOT HER! SHOOT HER!" another one yelled as they began to panic.
"Child there is a large set of doors here that prevents me from leaving find a way to open them" she ordered to six.
Six heard his queens commands but was distracted as a door opened behind him and one of his brothers fell through it grasping onto one of those strange humans that he remembered from when he was small.
The combat android seemed stronger than he looked as he valiantly defended himself from the xenomorph that had ambushed him but unfortunately for him he wouldn't win this fight as Six snuck up behind him and speared the synthetic from his lower back and brought it up through his throat ending its life painfully.
Six dropped the body of the human who bled white onto the floor and turned his head to his sibling to see if he was ok.
The xenomorph bowed his head in respect to six and as a "thank you" for saving him six nodded back to him in return and he quickly into a nearby vent. Six turned his attention to the room he was now in scanning its contents he quickly found what he was another one of those command consoles with the large red light on it.
Destroying it quickly he looked through one of the rooms many window to see the large doors his mother mentioned begin to open, a large number of his siblings crawled out followed by the queen herself.
Six quickly left the room via a door he had to smash open and went to meet his mother as well as all of his fellow kin. He watched as they all gathered at the edge of the laboratories compound which bordered a forest, he had never seen the outside before and found it quite peaceful, his attention was soon brought back to his hive as he walked up to his mother and lightly bowed before her.
The queen noticed his show of respect and gently placed one of her smaller arms on top of his head. "you have served the hive greatly this day...you have my thanks child"
He looked up to his queen and gave her a smile. He enjoyed being praised and shown affection but he enjoyed it more when it was given to him by Scarlette.
"Scarlette!" he thought suddenly "I left her alone in that room...what if she can't get out...what if...what if she gets hurt" he began to worry for her as he looked back and contemplated whether or not he should go see her.
"Come children we must find a new place to grow and prosper" the queen stated as she turned to leave the labs behind and her children followed all except for one Six
"Come child why do you hesitate" the queen noticed Six was fixed on the spot and wasn't following.
"have you grown attached to this place do you wish to be held captive again?" the queen questionably said to Six.
"NO" Six said back angrily.
"Then let us leave...the hive is all that's important to you now" she coldly said back to him.
Six Didn't like his choices stay and go to Scarlette or leave with his mother and siblings, after a moments decision he made his choice although it ate at him on the inside.
He would go with his hive it seemed the safest choice for him for if he stayed he risked putting Scarlette in danger and that was something he didn't wish to happen.
Six turned and went to his queen which satisfied her on his choice she began to walk into the undergrowth with rest of the hive following. Six turned his head to look back at the laboratories one last time before leaving.
"I will see you again Scarlette that much I can promise you" and with that thought he turned and followed his new family for a new place to call home, although he new it wouldn't feel like home without Scarlette.
A few hours later
Scarlette patiently waited for any signs of rescue inside the room she was still locked in. It had been several hours and no traces of life remained inside the facility, not even any xenomorphs could be seen.
"I hope Six made it out ok" she thought as she huddled in the corner of his former cell and stared intently out one of its windows.
After waiting for about ten minuets she swore she could hear movement and voices coming from the hall outside the room.
"I hope there's someone actually there I feel as though I'll go insane with boredom if I stay here any longer" she thought but luckily for her prayer was answered.
She could now plainly see a group of colonial marines advancing through the halls outside of the cell searching each rooms either for people or xeno's she assumed.
"Hey help...over here I'm locked in this room" she shouted to the well equipped soldiers hoping to get their attention.
A girl in the group heard her pleas and quickly informed her comrades.
"Hey! We got a survivor over here" she announced to her group as they rushed to the room she was locked in.
"Its going to be ok were gonna get you out of here" she said as her friends began to do a bypass of the door.
"Can you just hurry up I've been stuck in this room for over 5 hours" Scarlette irately said back to the woman.
"aaaannnnd...that should just about do it" one of the marines said as the door slid open and Scarlette immediately rushed out.
"Finally" she stated happily relieved that she could finally go.
"I'm Corporal Tequila second in command of this ragtag team of marines who might you be" the woman stated bluntly to Scarlette"
"I'm Doctor Scarlette Jones chief researcher of xenomorph studies here at the weyland yutani laboratories" Scarlette replied.
"Well Scarlette your one lucky son of a gun you're the only survivor left after the outbreak here there's no one else left but you". The woman called Tequila said to her in surprise.
"What about Dr. Groves and Katya the woman who sent the distress signal" she asked in shock at the news she received.
"We found no one by that name alive or dead here and I'm afraid the one who sent the signal is dead the xeno's got into the room with her after she sent the signal" Tequila replied
Scarlettes face paled at the news she had lost her closest friend and that bastard Groves escaped.
"I'm sorry if she was a friend of yours" Tequila said in sympathy to her.
"Come on we have a drop ship standing by that can take you back to our headquarters and we can get this whole mess straitened out for you" she said kindly to her.
"Thank you" she replied to her barely a whisper.
""Rookie take her to the ship and let her get some shut eye the rest of u will continue our sweep of the place" she commanded to a dark skinned soldier who looked slightly nervous.
Scarlette patiently followed the marine nicknamed "Rookie" out of the research labs and found the marines drop ship landed in the compound she was lead to the ship and escorted inside.
Scarlette laws brought to a small foldout bed at the back of the ship the marine had supplied for her.
"Thank you" she said kindly as she lied down.
"Do you need anything or want me to keep you company" the marine nervously said to her.
"I wouldn't mind the company" she replied back to him slightly amused at how on edge he seemed.
"You're new to the marines aren't you" she said to him
"Yeah...first day on the job I wasn't expecting a combat drop so soon after passing simulation training...sorry if I seem a little tense" the marine known as Rookie replied.
"Don't be I expect the xeno's are long gone by now they've probably gone somewhere to nest and repopulate...you'll probably end up fighting them sooner or later though". She blankly said back to him as she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
"What do you mean" he asked in confusion.
"we didn't have many xeno's held here they'll probably find a place with a large number of us and begin to harvest...just you watch give it two to three days and I bet you'll get another distress signal from somewhere"
The rookie was unnerved by her comment but at the moment she couldn't care less about how she made him feel she could only think about Six and why he didn't come back for her, he obviously didn't want to leave her as he fiercely showed hostility to anyone even near her.
Scarlette pondered about six and wondered if she'd see him again. Sleep soon took her over her however and she drifted off into a blissful dreamlike state.
Finally done!.
I decided at the end guys to introduce some of the Marines from the Marine Campaign as they sort of play into the role of the game. In the next chapter Scarlette accompanies the Marines as they respond to a xeno attack on a colony she will help them by being their advisor on how to deal with them and six finds out Scarlette is nearby and also finds a certain night club with a certain holographic stripper (if you've played the marines campaign from the game you'll know this part from when you enter the nightclub).
Continue to give support for this story and ill catch up with you guy's next chapter. :D
