Chapter 7: Retaliation - War is hell, and we must make them burn so they don't fight back

I do not own Alien vs. Predator, but then again you already know that. Have fun, and keep up the Legends alive!- LongLoreLover

Dallas's face was what a picture of fear would look like. Held up by his hair had hurt, but seeing the nightmare that killed his brother was worse, because it was only an inch from his face. Its mouth was a waterfall of saliva, and the creature that portrayed Ms. Yutani hissed hungrily. "Yes, I will kill you, nose first." She opened her jaws, and through the muck and clumps of dead flesh and clothing Dallas could see the second mouth.

He smiled, and said, "Kill me, that way I don't have to see your face anymore bitch!"

Ms. Yutani snarled and prepared to kill him when the force of a small building slammed into her. Dallas let out a relieved sigh and fell to the floor before he saw Aliens sprinting towards him. He stood, paralyzed until a voice roared, "Get out of here!" Jolted alive, Dallas turned and ran faster than he ever did before.

Wolf punched Miss. Yutani in the head, dazing her slightly. Grabbing her tail, which had burst through her strap on her back, he swung her into another pursuing Alien. The Serpents stopped to get their higher ranking leader. Wolf looked to Dallas, and found the Fleshling's speed just sad, yet a quick bio-scan showed the Fleshling's heart at 150 beats per minute, and he was winded...and starting to slow down. Hating himself for not staying to fight, Wolf fled after the Human, no need to cloak now.

Dallas hated himself. He couldn't run, yet knew his life was on the line. His heart felt like it was going to burst, and he suddenly thought he may be having a heart attack. He tried to push himself, but then found himself on something's back. He screamed as he surged forward at car speeds, and froze when he heard the voice that told him to run.

"Hang on Fleshling. Use neck."Wolf barked, and Dallas obeyed. Wolf's frame, although lean, was still twice the size of Dallas's, and covered in fishnets. The Predator's skin was scaly, yet soft, like a human's skin. It was also extremely hot, Dallas could feel his legs starting to sweat. He suddenly became very self-conscious of himself, but that froze his brain finally caught up to recent events. He was on top of an Alien, the goodish one. Even clinging up on the Predator's back, Wolf was still taller, and his dreads kept smacking Dallas in the face. They were ringed with bones, and trinkets.

Then he looked behind him, and almost hurt Wolf's neck from the pressure. "Oh god man you've got to move!" He screamed into Wolf's mask, and the Predator sped up, but not before laughing, "I...female."

Dallas could barely speak, this race had females? And not docile ones? Dallas head began to ache, but then again, it was already throbbing from having all his hair stand on end, literally. A screech, and Dallas looked behind to see to see an Alien five feet from them, and still in the air. He screamed but Wolf stopped and turned, grabbing the Alien on either side of the head. Roaring mightily, she pulled the Alien apart, and the entrails fell down into the street, melting a straight hole down. Snarling smugly, Wolf pulled Dallas down from her shoulders.

Dallas was still stuck on the fact that one Alien just tore another in half with what looked like no apparent effort. And that stopped the other Aliens too, they stopped and looked to Ms. Yutani, who was snarling hatefully. Then Wolf shocked then even further, she punched Dallas in the stomach.

Dallas could hardly breathe, it felt like his chest had just been broke into his spine, and then torn completely out. He was so hurt his body froze, and he barely noticed when Wolf threw him to the Aliens. The creatures leapt back as if Dallas carried a bomb, still a little shocked. But then they recovered, and proceeded to pull Dallas to their base where the speech was. Dallas at this point recovered, and started screaming hysterics.

Wolf's Vision- A looming Abomination still stared at her, Predator eyes staring deep into Wolf's soul. The Fleshling was screaming, trying to fight against the Serpents's grip; stupid.

"No please! No! I beg you! No! Monster help me, please! No!" Wolf's face barely moved, and Dallas started to cry, he didn't want to die like this. He dug his feet into the ground trying to slow the pull. He then cursed at Ms. Yutani.

"You bitch! I hate you! I will come back, and I'll make sure you pay! Ah let me go!" Ms. Yutani turned to laugh, and that's when Wolf made her move. Sliding under Yutani's tail, which reacted to her hearing, Wolf gripped the tail tip with her right arm while holding Yutani's right. Shocked to have a Yautija so close, and on the attack, Yutani panicked, attacking with her second mouth. Wolf, not missing a beat, brought her left hand up, caught the mouth, and pulled it down while stabbing Yutani under the chin with her own tail. Acid blood spurted out but Wolf had already moved towards Dallas.

The Aliens turned to see Wolf flying kick one. It flew over the street and crashed in a heap before getting up. The second Alien by this time had time to defend against a kick by Wolf. It wrapped its tail around Wolf's leg before yanking Wolf forward. Off-balance, she fell forward, and the Alien leapt up into the air before releasing Wolf's leg and driving its tail into the ground. Wolf had already moved, and went behind the Alien. Grabbing its neck and head, Wolf shifted the head quickly, breaking the Serpent's neck.

The second Alien rose up behind Wolf, and tried to use its second mouth. Sadly, Wolf moved her head to the side, and twisted around, swinging her WristBlades and cutting off the Serpent's head. It fell off slowly, and the acid from the neck created a hole into the ground. Surveying her work, Wolf roared triumphantly, but not before turning to Dallas.

Except Dallas wasn't there. Growling in annoyance, Wolf cloaked, and switched to Sonic-mode. The landscape suddenly turned black, except for the outlines of buildings. And half a mile away, the sound of heavy breathing soon formed the outline of Dallas, finally reunited with Kelly, Molly, Deress, and Jerese. Still, Wolf would not let the Fleshling go without getting her dues for saving him...

Kelly brought her gun out and turned around when a trash can fell over behind her, Deress and Jerese mirroring her. Dallas yelped, with sounded more like a sigh since he was out of breath. Kelly also noted he was in terrible condition, his face still covered in fear, and his eyes glancing everywhere an Alien could be. Molly ran forward, and hugged Dallas. He stooped down but stopped when a voice hissed, "There you are." Dallas's blood turned cold as he thought of the PredAlien, the voice was hers. Suddenly, a hand curled around Dallas's neck, and he choked out a scream as he was thrown against the wall. Lifted off his feet, he started to choke, and gripped his hands around what was an invisible arm. An intimidating growl resonated from what seemed to be right in front of Dallas, and he stopped his attempts. Decloaking, Wolf stood in front of him.

"I got you Fleshling." Wolf teasingly said in Ms. Yutani's voice. Dallas's eyes widened and he exclaimed angrily, "It was you who said that!" Wolf snorted and replied, "Your skills of perception are as good as your strength. But yes, voice-changer allows me to change how I sound, so long as I've heard the voice before."

A pause. "Can you let me down now?" This earned Dallas a slam into the wall as Wolf pushed him back. He tasted blood in his mouth, but he gave Wolf a glare.

"Fleshling, you owe Wolf an apology for running off, and thanks for saving you."

"Saving me? You threw me to the Aliens remember?"

"Remember that you were being grabbed by the Abomination and I rescued you?"

That gave Dallas a pause. Finally he muttered, "Sorry." Wolf slammed him into the wall again. "Say it like it a honor!"she barked, and Dallas contemplated not doing such. But Wolf was in no mood to argue, so he said with his best fake happiness, "It is truly an honor that you rescued a puny human like me Wolf. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Wolf's mask was unmoving for at least a minute, obviously contemplating whether to kill Dallas for his easily noticeable use of sarcasm. Mercy won out, and Wolf's grip on Dallas disappeared. He fell on all fours, massaging his neck. Kelly cautiously approached, even her military training wasn't to keep her from being afraid. She wrapped her arms around Dallas, soothing him. Wolf's attention wasn't on them however, it was on Molly.

Molly's huge eyes looked at Wolf, as the Predator knelt down. "Child, you afraid of Wolf?" Molly slowly shook her head, and Wolf realized the look was fear from all that had happened, and wonder. "You're the only monster that is good."She said, and Wolf nodded. She pressed an object into Molly's hand, and Molly saw it was an Alien claw. Molly held, and Wolf stood up. "You keep child. Wolf was pup once, knows what it like to be afraid. Wolf pity you, Serpents will continue to attack." Tapping her gauntlet, Wolf looked at a hologram and a bunch of symbols. Jerese, finally finding her voice asked the Predator, "What are you doing?" Wolf snorted and answered, "You have no eyes? Wolf call Father's Ship."

Once on the Ship, The Fleshlings proceeded to ask Wolf every aspect of herself. She found it quite annoying, but did so, as it allowed her to recite some rather glorious battles. "What's your name?" The female asked, and Wolf snorted. "Name Wolf in Fleshling tongue. Race Yautija, but your government call us Predators." The cockpit went silent until the male who Wolf nearly strangled asked, "Where'd you get your weapons?"

This got Wolf's attention and she asked, "You ask why?"

Dallas shrugged, a motion that always annoyed Wolf. "Your race seems very advanced in weapons, yet you still use spears. What the hell is up with that? Why not always use that gun you gave me?"

Wolf stared at him until Dallas turned away. Satisfied, she said, "Targeter need to lock-on, take three seconds. Weapon explode Serpents, bad at close range. Uses a tenth of percent of power. Adds up. Overheats, which is what happened to gun Wolf gave you. Also dishonorable, but if it can be seen you outnumbered when Council view Second Face(Mask), you allowed. Only Infestation Crew and Pups allowed to use without consequences."

Dallas automatically asked, "How'd you learn to talk English?"

Wolf was starting to get tired of all the dumb questions. "How you think?"she asked, and Dallas went silently. "All Yautija learn quickly, it only take three Earth days to learn full language. Also when in cryo, computer pick knowledge in brain, as it learn best when deep asleep. Female Yautija learn better than males, and don't have so much a problem with steady speech."

Molly then had a question. "Are you a mom?" Wolf went silent, struck by the answer. She answered slowly, "Female do not all have children. Race have warriors, so only bad warriors subjected to steady stream of mating. Your race have bad word for them. Wolf great warrior, so I no mate. Wolf have thought of having pups, my Father always wanted warriors to carry on his blood. And with the death of my Mother and two Blood Brothers, he was very insistent."

The ship again went silent, and Wolf snarled angrily. Turning around, she saw terror on every face. "Wolf sorry. Father's computer no want to corporate, and Wolf needs to access the rest of ship, but computer regulates door. Gauntlet slow to hack complex system, Peregrin design system." Thinking of Peregrin, the Falcon Predator brought rage to Wolf, but she pushed it down, she would bring the rage up when she was in combat.

Deress slouched back and said, "Tell us about yourself Wolf. We have nothing better to do, and Yautjian life sounds way more fascinating." Everyone nodded, and Wolf smiled under her helmet. Finally, a good topic.

"Wolf was born a pup, the first Female in clan, or as you call family. Brothers were Celtic and Scar. Both were younger, and went on the same Hunt to Pyramid on Earth. Celtic never returned, but Scar fought, along with a female to kill a Serpent Queen. He died, and was a Carrier. Ship crashed, and that is how an Abomination made it to Earth. Scar being Carrier was very disgraceful for family, especially with so much potential. Father pushed me into Hunts, and Wolf went to Earth to avenge brother. Mother died when Wolf was Thirty Earth Years during a bad hunt. Father lost eye from an Alien claw, and face wounds from an bad informed Hunt. Not much else about Wolf. Been in several hundred Hunts, often as Leader. Only failed one, the one my Mother went on. Battles glorious however."

The ship beeped, and Wolf stood. "Hack complete." Striding over to a platinum blue door, Wolf placed a hand on it, and it smoothly rose up. Dallas and the others followed Wolf into the room, and gasped. A central spire blasted at hundreds of red veins in paths of information. And all around it, weapons, weapons, gear, and more weapons. Some Wolf had used, others completely unheard of.

A Shruiken taller than Wolf, bombs shaped like Human babies, a Shoulder Shield, hundreds of Plasma guns, a Plasma gun that had hundreds of holes in it, a Knife that glowed blue, a shield covered in Electricity, and more. Striding over to Plasma Casters, Wolf grabbed two, and hooked them onto her shoulders. They flashed, and then moved side to side, Wolf clicking. She grabbed the Knife that glowed blue, and a Knife that seemed to be made from a Xenomorph. She tucked three nets into her Gauntlet, several miniature Shruikens, and a white laser of some sort. On her legs, she put three round objects that were completely silver. On her chest, Wolf put a plate of armor that resonated orange, like the Twins. She checked her whip, and then put it back, satisfied. Then she went to a suit. It was for her father only, and for the most important of circumstances. Shoving her left arm into a slot, the wall started to move.

Individual pieces clicked into place and slid over her, applying a gel so Wolf felt nothing. A sleek, long black gun started to form, becoming a massive plasma cannon. It charged up, and a meter showed up in the corner of her mask. Shoving her other arm in, the wall moved around it too, putting another black gun around Wolf's forearm. It jutted out two feet, but Wolf was smiling. She knew she'd kick ass. Then she threw her whole body into the wall.

Her mask gathered a fringe, and her whole body was soon covered in armor. A gleaming Plasma Sword vibrated on her hip, blue and looking like gaseous lightning. It contrasted with her gray armor. Looking at the humans, she strided over, each step a heavy plunk, but still graceful. She pointed her black gun to a spot in the back. Dallas led the others over while Wolf went back to the bridge.

Guns of every era stood in neat rows, labeled by time period. Colts, Winchesters, swords and spears, some futuristic stuff like AI bullets, heat vision, Sonic pulsors, a Viral Cannon. Dallas and Molly stood, flabbergasted, but Jerese, Deress, and Kelly moved forward quickly. Throwing away her Colt.9 millimeter, she picked up an A94, an experimental gun. It had the build of a Stoner Gun, but was jet black, and actually fired lasers. She then took a couple grenades, some sonic grenades to disrupt echolocation, some flash grenades to disrupt sight, a grenade launcher, and more. She took off her shirt for a green military form. Over it, she placed on a vest of titanium and kevlar. She tied on some army boots and put on a black baggy jean. She picked up a clear piece of glass and asked, "Dallas, what do you think of this?"

Dallas shrugged, and heard Wolf snarl from the other room in annoyance. Curious, Kelly tried it on. It snapped to her face, and a HUD flashed to her face. It then wrapped around her head and Kelly breathed in a pressurized breath before laughing, "This is amazing!" Dallas couldn't help but smile too. She took some other ammo and clips before giving Dallas a shotgun. "For close encounters." she said, and Dallas nodded.

Jerese and Deress both outfitted themselves some punching gloves made of metal and a non reactive coating so the acid wouldn't burn through. They had face masks, and knifes the size of small swords on their waists, along with some nasty looking Ray guns. Dallas took some extra slugs, and gave a gun to Molly, who regarded the weapon with horror. Kelly took it from her and said flatly, "She's not coming." Molly didn't protest.

Going back into the bridge room were a group of bitchen soldiers. They were ready to fight, but they needed to make sure. Wolf looked over each of them, and saw that Dallas donned a S63 Quadbarrel Shotgun, two Sonic Pistols, a shield of Alien hide, and a jetpack. He had a determined look set on his face, and Wolf nodded to him, which he returned. Kelly told Wolf, "My daughter is not coming with us." Wolf nodded to this too. "The little one will be safe." She knelt down in front of Molly, and gave Molly her spear. "My Father gave this me. It is now yours child." She petted Molly's hair and then tapped her mask against the girl's face. It almost looked like a kiss. The moment passed, Dallas asked Wolf, "What do we do now, Predator?"

Wolf growled, "Now, we fight back..."and cloaked.
