I'm back, did you miss me? Nope, I'm not dead. I'm really sorry I haven't updated in such a long, long time, I feel like such an ass. Its just I've been working on a bunch of other things, like my website, and I haven't had any time to work on this story. Sorry this capter is short.

Chapter 10

Dell'Nodi jumped just in time to avoid a swift blow from a Praetorian's sharp tail. It hissed and swung again, and the Predator ducked, side-stepped and cut off the tail's sharp spike with his bladed spear. Acid blood sprayed from the alien's wound. It screeched and then lunged at the yautja. Dell'Nodi ducked and slid under the large alien, stabbing its belly with his wristblades. He slid out from under it just in time to avoid its deadly acid. Although his wristblades were more resistent to the alien's acid than other metals, it still did some damage to his bladed weapons. The Praetorian was wounded but not dead. It whipped it tail at the Predator again, this time spraying acid at him. He ducked and rolled and threw his spear, which missed the alien by centimeters.

'Osoolazumme fired his plasma rifle at the other Praetorian. The large alien hissed and knocked into 'Osoolazumme with its large head, sending him flying into the wall, his shield flareing. The huge alien loomed over 'Osoolzumme, its secondary jaw about to extend. 'Osoolazumme quickley grabbed his energy sword, activated it, and stabbed the energy blade into the vicious xenomorph's throat. Though injured, it wasn't dead. It screeched it pain, giving the Elite enough time to roll out of harms way and was soon back on his feet again. The xenomorph, now bleeding acid, growled in fury, and charged again at the Elite.

Yoro Ulonde tried to stop it by firing his rifle at it. It then turned its attention towards the other Elite. It growled, and quickly lashed out its tail, spearing Yoro Ulonde in the neck. The Elite gurgled and choked on his blood before the alien jerked its tail away. Yoro Ulonde's body fell to the ground, his neck spraying purple blood.

Its time to end this thought Dell'Nodi. The mighty yautja warrior aimed his plasmacaster at one of the Praetorians. He fired the plasma bolt at the large alien. It hit it square on the head, blowing its cranium apart and spraying acid on the ground.

That's one down thought the Predator. What the mighty hunter-warrior didn't know was that the other alien was behind him. The xenomorph had realized that the weapon on the Predator's shoulder had quickly taken down its partner, so it decided it had to get rid of it. It quickly ripped the Predator's shoulder cannon off and threw it aside. Then it lashed its tail out and knocked Dell'Nodi unconcious.

'Osoolazumme knew he had to do something; the battle was too unorganized to acomplish much. He had to take matters into his own hands. The alien's exoskeleton is tough, but if he stuck a plasma grenade to it that should kill it. He took out a plasma granade. The creature's rapid movements made it hard for the Covenant warrior to get a clear shot, but when he finally saw his oppertunity, he activated the grenade and threw it at the monster. It stuck onto the creature's abdomen. It shrieked a high-pitched howl before it was blown into bits.

'Osoolazumme went over to Dell'Nodi. The blow had knocked his helmet off. 'Osoolazumme looked at the Predator's face; he had four mandables, just like the Elites did, and his skin was somewhat scaly.He had a small wound on his forehead and a drop of luminescent green blood trickled down from the cut.

"We'll wait for him to regain conciousness," said 'Osoolazumme, "then we will continue,"

I promise, I'll try not to take a break that long withoout telling you again. Until next time, bye.
