(The Linkin Park music I've been listening has helped inspire me to write a bit deeper in Tu'Raii's perspective so I dedicate this to the Linkin Park songs I listened to. This chapter is also dedicated to the one I love. This chapter was written at a time I was typing in secret but I decided even though I had little time to stay up while making it I put extra effort in it.)

Chapter 9

Captain Luke

Luke woke up and found himself in a medical station. He then noticed he couldn't feel his legs or his hands at all. Luke looked around and saw instead of being surrounded by his fellow human soldiers he was surrounded by armed Yautja. Then Frutisene the young-blood Luke had helped avoid being killed by experiments showed up. He smiled at Luke and Luke tried to smile back but it was hard because of the pain of the pressure.

"Fellow Yautja can you let me be alone with this human?" asked Frutisene.

The Yautja around Frutisene nodded and left the medical room leaving Frutisene alone with Luke. The medical room was colored in a dark purple coating.

"How are you feeling my friend?" asked Frutisene.

"Like I've just been stabbed 10,000 times." replied Luke with all the strength he had.

"Sorry we couldn't do anything more but that was a major injury you took from that plasma charge but you would've been dead from any human treatment."

"Its all right as long as I'm alive. I guess you Yautja are more honorable than I thought. So I'm guessing that the rest of my men are all dead?"

"Sadly yes they are all dead but I had to go through a lot of trouble and lies to convince my fellow Yautja medics to fix you up and a matter a fact you're going to go through a little test."

Luke got shocked and responded "A test?"

"Yeah I told them that you fought better and more honorable than any human I met and so to prove it you have to do a little thing for the Yautja society."

"Like what?"

"Well theres this Yautja traitor named Jukiluke and you might know him as the person who found out that the unusual xenomorph is a hybrid. You need to find him and kill."

"Thats it but what about my fucking condition?"

"Your condition won't be a problem because we are currently injecting you with med kits that'll finally make you healthy in a week. Just one question what does fuck mean?"

Luke looked at Frutisene trying to prevent himself from laughing and replied "Its like a sexual remark."

Frutisene looked at Luke in a strange way then laughed.

"Some strange words you humans have in your language."

Luke smiled and Frutisene left the medical room letting Luke heal slowly. Luke relaxed and surprisingly went to sleep quickly. The medication that he was given was taking effect.

Tu'Raii

Tu'Raii was weeping as she saw the xenomorph drones in the nest chase away Du'Haii into the dangerous jungles. The Queen the came behind her. The Queen put her hand on Tu'Raii's shoulder trying to comfort her. Tu'Raii left the Queen still crying after that moment. The Queen followed her and had a lot of regret with her.

"We had to do what we had to do. He has a Yautja part to him that we can't afford to look twice," she said.

"Then you're going to kill my child too when he's born!"

"No because its not his fault that he has this half in him and plus you will be taking care of him as well so we can expect a child full of hope when he's born."

"Like how its not Du'Haii's fault that he's a hybrid! Didn't you hear what he said when he was explaining! His mother was raped by a Yautja and that Yautja killed his entire family!"

"He was never part of our family anyway. We kindly adopted him and look what has done. He was reckless and how come he never told us he was a hybrid."

"You monster! I used to think of you as a mother and the best Queen we've ever had! I love Du'Haii! And you reject him from our family because he is part Yautja! You adopted hybrids into this family before and when you finally meet a hybrid who's part Yautja you treat him like an outsider and make the entire nest attack him and take him away from this nest forever! I hate you!"

Tu'Raii then left the Queen when she was done. The nest was listening to them talk and weeped at what they had. They kept thinking why they helped get Du'Haii away. They had separated two lovers from each other. A sin like this was worse then killing. They all wept seeing how Tu'Raii felt. They didn't follow her not wanting to feel more regret then they had already felt.

Tu'Raii was in her nest spot preparing to leave the nest. She was leaving the nest with the will to find her love Du'Haii. She knew that female drones weren't allowed to leave the nest but she didn't care. She would find Du'Haii no matter what. She then left the nest while everyone was in their moment of regret. Tri'Lii then was the only one who noticed her leave for he was the only one to follow her. He followed her because he was always on Du'Haii's side and even when he found out he was a hybrid and part Yauja. So therefore he had no regrets since he made no move against Du'Haii like the rest. Oh no! She will get killed out there alone!

He followed Tu'Raii and quickly caught up with her. She saw him and ran faster.

"I don't want to stop you ,Tu'Raii! I want to help you find him!" exclaimed Tri'Lii.

Then after she heard that she stopped and looked at Tri'Lii. Tri'Lii looked at her in the eyes and started to admire her drone beauty and youth. Then he ignored that for he knew that thinking about her in that way would betray Du'Haii and he didn't want to do that. But he couldn't ignore the feelings he had for. He had loved Tri'Lii since she saved his life just about 2 years ago. Because 2 years ago Tri'Lii almost died falling off a cliff until Tu'Raii risked her life to save Tri'Lii. There were other drones around who could've saved him but they were all afraid but Tu'Raii wasn't. She saw a friend in trouble and she did what she had to save him. She more passionate and daring then most xenomorphs. Thats what he loved about her. Even though Du'Haii was the one that Tu'Raii truly loved he would still love her even if she didn't love him.

Tu'Raii then touched Tri'Lii cold cheeks softly. She then kissed him in the cheeks.

"Tu'Raii you would help me find Du'Haii no matter how the other xenomorphs at the nest think of this?" Tu'Raii asked.

Tri'Lii nodded a yes with a nervous expression.

"Tri'Lii you are unlike any other drone that I've met except Du'Haii. Thank you!"

She hugged Tri'Lii tightly. Tri'Lii tried hiding his tears because he wanted to tell her how he felt about her but not now though.

Du'Haii and Jukiluke

Jukiluke and Du'Haii made a run for it because they were being chased by armed Yautja with plasma rockets. Jukiluke fired his plasma rounds and dodged the rockets being shot at him. Du'Haii waited for one of the Yautja to fall dead so he could grab his rocket launcher. To his surprise these Yautja were a lot more careful and less arrogant then the young bloods Jukiluke faced last time. The Yautja council seemed to see that defeating Jukiluke and Du'Haii was harder then they though. After a while a Yautja finally fell to the ground dead from a plasma shot to the head. Du'Haii immediately grabbed the plasma rocket launcher. He dived away from the high speed rockets and blew up two Yautja with one blast. He then used his claws to rip apart the face of one of the Yautja. The Yautja went down on his knees in pain. Du'Haii then ended his misery with a tail slash.

There were 15 Yautja in the jungle 3 young bloods, 5 elders, 2 veterans, and 5 assault Yautja. They were all fully armed with rocket launchers, web launchers, plasma cannons, spears, and explosive charges. Jukiluke decided to try another maneuver when he saw that shooting shots and ducking rockets wasn't working well he decided to go towards higher ground.

"Du'Haii follow me but lets split up and flank these Yautja. Also be vary of how much ammo you have in that rocket launcher," ordered Jukiluke.

Du'Haii followed Jukiluke up and then split up at the point where there were two paths. Jukiluke went on top of a tree to snipe some Yautja below. He zoomed in for a clear shot with his mask. He locked on and fired slow but accurate shots. He sniper two of the Yautja following him. They were both young bloods which left only one young blood there. There was a total of 5 Yautja who were trying to kill Jukiluke. Du'Haii was being chased by 12 Yautja which lets say a lot. Apparently Yautja command made it a higher priority to eliminate Du'Haii then Jukiluke. Even though killing a traitor would've been a greater honor than killing a hybrid the Yautja thought of what this could mean for the future of facing the xenomorphs and made Du'Haii the top of their to kill list.

Du'Haii luckily had enough rockets to handle these Yautja. He waited for a group of them to get close enough to each other and blew them all up. This left 5 Yautja remaining like what Jukiluke was handling. Now it was time for phase two of Jukiluke's plan. Du'Haii and Jukiluke both ran and then went to a point where they met up but before they met in that area they planted mines behind them that wouldn't be detected even by Yautja scanners. Then once the two groups of Yautja got near the mines they all blew up killing all the Yautja on the chase.

Du'Haii and Jukiluke both sighed in relieve and then got weapons and ammo for future use. Du'Haii got rockets for his rocket launcher and Jukiluke took a lot of the gadgets the Yautja corpses had around them. After they finished getting the supplies they needed they decided to look for a place to relax and drink to rehydrate themselves. They walked and found a nearby waterfall with plenty of drinking water. Du'Haii then wondered what Tu'Raii was thinking and doing at the moment. He had no idea that she was looking for him at that moment. He wished he could see her one more time. Jukiluke was also wondering about his mate. He was thankful that she hated him at the moment because if she still had strong feelings for him she would be executed immediately. He wished that he could say sorry even though the consequences would be large for that apology.

Jukiluke then looked at Du'Haii and said softly "You know when I first heard of you I was full of hate and I bet you too were full of hate at that moment at me. But now we two enemies are sitting beside each other drinking water and helping each other. This is a lesson that should be found more in life that we don't always have to remain enemies with our enemies but instead try and befriend your enemies and forever embrace life for what it is worth. Now I feel like we are both brothers with similar experiences and tragedies. I guess I sort of think of you as a brother instead of an enemy now."

Du'Haii then smiled when he heard this. He gained some tears from his eyes but then Jukiluke hugged him and comforted.

"I feel the same about you Jukiluke now. But I just miss my mate ,Tu'Raii! Her beauty and personality I miss the most. And how she comfort me and made me feel happy but now look at me I'm not happy anymore now that shes gone!" exclaimed Du'Haii crying.

"Brother I feel the same way about my mate but hopefully in time we will be reunited with our loved ones." replied Jukiluke.

Du'Haii then wiped his tears and asked "You really think so ,brother?"

Jukiluke put his hand on Du'Haii's shoulder and exclaimed "I know so! You will be back with Tu'Raii!"

They both were then in that waterfall crying and hugging but were full of hope now.
