What's new people? I guess it's a bit much to say that this fic is doing really well. I'm amazed at how easy it is to write.
I have to say, things'll get interesting.
Chapter 7: Threshold
Bart
He was currently at the road with Milhouse. He'd noticed that they'd been in the ship a long time.
"Hey Bart." Milhouse sighed "They've been gone a long time. Do you think that spacemen got them."
"I don't know." Bart exclaimed "Let's just get outta here. This is boring."
With that, they rode their bikes in the opposite direction.
Little did they notice the Black shapes carrying Martin out of the ship, complete with Super-Face-hugger.
Martin
He woke up, sighing, looking around. It was sunny, and he was on dirt.
"Where am I?" He asked as he sat up.
He set his hands on the ground as he collected his thoughts. He felt something that was a bit like a crab.
"Yikes." He yelled, pulling his hand back.
Looking down, he saw what appeared to be an armor covered horseshoe crab/spider hybrid.
"Perhaps I'd best get out of here." He suggested to himself "Database and Wendell must have left already." He looked around, and spotted the nuclear plant "Perhaps I can ask the gate guard to call my mother for a ride."
He stood up, shaking on feet that felt like Jello. He slowly and shakily made his way to the nuclear plant, hoping not to lose his balance.
Miles
He hated his job. He was gate guard for the weekend. It may have paid okay, but it still sucked.
The power plant ran on minimal staff during the weekend. No one usually worked then.
He was currently watching TV when he heard something from the gate that sounded like someone.
"Funny," he reasoned with himself "There wasn't a car." He paused "Should probably look anyways."
He swiveled in his chair, and looked out. There, at the gate, was a chubby nerd kid.
Martin
He was greeted by a surly looking man with five o-clock shadow and neat hair.
"What do you want kid?" He asked, already annoyed.
"Could I use your phone to call my mother?" he asked.
"Are you sure you're not here to visit your parent kid?" the man asked.
"I'm positive sir." Martin replied "neither of my parents don't even work here."
"Fine." The man sighed "There's a payphone in the office building up ahead. After that, get out." He went inside, and opened the gate. "Don't go anywhere else."
Martin walked inside the gate, and immediately found the office building.
He tested the door, which was unlocked.
"Thank the maker." He sighed, opening it.
The office building was mostly cubicles, and all of them were empty.
"I should probably find that payphone." He sighed, looking around.
He'd been trusted to use the payphone and leave. He wouldn't betray that trust if it was the last thing he did.
Miles
He sighed. He knew the kid wouldn't try anything. He could tell already that he wasn't the type.
He figured that the kid would be fine. He went back to his TV, and switched to the weather.
Turns out, there was a storm gathering around Springfield, and thanks to the wind, it would arrive even faster than normal.
"Hopefully you're inside." Kent Brockman replied "It looks like the weather won't be able to put a damper on the convention tomorrow."
"Yipee," he sighed "Another convention that I'm going to have to miss."
He looked outside. Already, it had started to get dark and cloudy.
"Damn." He sighed "Storm sure moves fast."
Xenomorphs
They spotted the coming storm outside, knowing the perfect opportunity to move out of the ship.
Their biggest satisfaction possible was the use of darkness. They were creatures of the night, through and through.
It was almost impossible to say otherwise.
They slinked out of the ship, knowing full well how dark it was. They always moved in the dark, no questions asked.
They immediately caught the smell. The queen, she was almost ready. She would be emerging from the child soon. They'd have to act fast to insure her safety.
They crawled quickly, moving towards the outer fence of the facility nearby. As they moved, they did not stop.
They climbed the fence, moving without any trouble.
They knew that the queen would emerge soon.
They had to keep going.
They immediately found the source of where she was. It was a short, squat building with a few windows. They could hear the kid inside.
Martin
He was currently on the phone. He'd just told his mother to pick him up at the nuclear plant.
"I'll be right there," she sighed, hanging up.
"Now time to wait for mother." He announced. He put the phone back on the hook, and started to walk towards the door.
However, as he began to walk, he noticed he had difficulty breathing. He began to pant, and immediately fell to his knees, only about halfway between the phone and the door.
"This can't be good." He wheezed. He immediately felt something move around his solar plexus.
"No!" he wheezed, clutching the base of his ribcage.
He felt something begin to press against him, pulling further on his skin, painfully pushing out with all of its might.
"AAAHHH!" he cried, voice even higher than ever.
He felt something puncture his skin from the inside, and he felt nothing more.
Xenomorph
They could hear the Queen, high pitched, screaming as she emerged. They felt the glass up against them, separating them from her.
One of them clenched a fist, and punched the glass, cracking it with a noise even greater than the queen's scream.
Another then pounced, jumping into the inside of the building, immediately smelling the queen on the floor.
The one who cracked the glass followed him. A third stayed watch outside.
Miles
He heard the sound of glass crack. It came from the office building.
"Shit!" he called out "Damn kid tricked me." He swiveled around in the chair, and grabbed his gun. He was glad that Mr. Burns allowed him to carry one.
He got up, and made his way to the window outside. What greeted him instead was the worst thing imaginable.
It was a creature, with a long smooth head. There were no eyes to it, and he could see the inside of the creature's head.
He saw the creature had a skeletal appearance. Its whole form was infused with silvery flecks, shining, glimmering in the dim light.
He could see the worst part of the creature last. Though it had no eyes or nose to speak of, it did have a mouth. Or what looked like a mouth.
He saw a set of lips that dripped everywhere, covering the entire window edge with slime.
Slowly, he watched them ooze, leaving a clear fluid.
He reached to cock his gun.
"CCCLLL-IIICCKK" the gun made, ready with a shot.
The creature turned it's head, looking at him.
Miles slowly brought it up, hoping to shoot the creature.
As he brought it up however, there was a push down.
Looking, he saw the creature had put its hand on the gun, holding it down.
He looked back to the head. There was some movement.
The creature growled a low growl that was more akin to a stomach or a dog.
Next, it opened its mouth, slowly, dripping more ooze onto the window. This revealed a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, all around a second mouth, with even more teeth then the first one.
"Oh shit." He sighed.
The creature extended its second mouth, which was technically its tongue. It pierced his skull, sending brain tissue all over the place.
