Can I really blame myself, to the core which I was guilty by what choice I must have to do - affecting both future and past of myself trying not to step on the wrong tail of the road, I was struck by choice.
Does choice even matter right now in this situation between Vivian and my friend life? Kevin? Standing in between of the gap and Vivian has the pocket knife to the neck of my friend Kevin, to change, to change the future.
"Warning, LOCK-down initiated." The loud voice over the announcement buzzed over, my train of thoughts was interrupted causing me to throw back into reality focusing what to do. My body were pretty ready at the threatening state of my mind.
In a rapid movement, I leap into the right wall, holding on the wall as my claw were deep on etching in the wall - I leaped way more closer into Vivian, he smirked and pushed a 'little' deeper into the neck but not enough to hurt Kevin.
"You can't hurt me, I will hurt this little guy here." He said.
I was now eye to eye, looking straight at Vivian until a silhouette man was visible behind him with a grip of an empty assault rifle knocking Vivian onto his head - he groaned and released Kevin to the floor, Kevin ran to me and this silhouette man was actually Cade.
He kicked Vivian into the floor before knocking him with the empty assault rifle with a high grip on his hand - Vivian became focused and drew his knife and swung it into his chest which got caught while Vivian eye were stabbed by the assault rifle handle making him scream in pain and fall back.
My heart stopped for a few seconds before reacting what has Vivian did to Cade, he was bleeding and squirting his own blood to the floor - he had not lose that many blood though, but, I was so shocked. "C-Cade!" I cried out.
"Chris.. get help." he said, taking a glance to Vivian - I growled in anger yet still the guilt has been etched deep in my soul but I really wanted to throw him to obliviousness. "Kevin, get the emergency radio to your ass." I growled.
"Right." he responded.
I turned my attention back to Vivian who were opposite of Cade, pretty bleeding quickly and losing that much blood will certainly kill him in pain, just, to say that is enough of the guilt of the train thoughts. I turn my attention back to Cade who were breathing deeply but still alive.
No sign of cardiac problems, great.
His pulse however, was, lowering every minute was lose which is very worrying - the lockdown door that I was unaware of, slides open in the end of the hallway revealing the Medical Team and my dad, James. "Dad." I croaked.
"I know." he smiled hugging me about worrisome and such, uh, talking about Cade he was taken into the Emergency Room very quickly by their strength - it was very surprising they carried him fast enough to reach the emergency center room.
But, as quick as instant, Vivian loses his pulse when the second medical team arrives leading to his very criminal death - I was frowning the entire time he was examined by the Medical Team, I was too guilty for this.
"Assault Rifle in the eye, huh Cade?" Kevin said crossing his arm, surely the Medical heard it and silently acknowledged Kevin.
"He's sure a bad ass." My dad responded while I stay silent during this conversation.
A day passed, the time flew fast through the space but then today were was now the mission going to be established - since it was so delayed last day, we, were now was going to be ready this time and recovery was completed to Cade.
"Hey." Cade greets me with a heart-warming welcome, the preparation field was pretty huge - weapons were scattered into the wall for soldier to choose. The next thing I was doing, was a blur in my sight training from throwing a grenade and faster reload.
Much were learned this day, yet now was shown into the public that we have a Xenomorph helping my god damn naked ass, well, couldn't be bad enough right? Nobody stopping me to laugh all we want. "OH FUCK!" I screeched in pain as I accidentally threw a chair into my tail in this stealth training.
"OH MY GOD!" Cade laughed.
In other side, my dad was doing the Picard-like facepalm, my dad is officially Picard now and I'll love it so much - hours were passed now we were in a deploying truck but however my friends were separated between my truck.
They're different rank, so it would be organized without a noisy Cade in his playful form - I would be laughing if I imagined Cade annoying the soldiers back in the separate car and he was kicked and forced to get in my side.
Oh, that would be funny.
In instinct, I grabbed my AR-15 rifle as I was feeling somehow uncomfortable that the next road will be very dangerous - the lieutenant looked at me weirdly and asked, "Why are you..", however I waved dismissively.
"A instinct feeling, something gonna happen." I responded.
"If you're sure, brace for it, soldiers." he said to the others, apparently minute passed until suddenly a rapid beeping was heard in distance - "Proximity bomb!" the driver of the truck yelled as the car stopped abruptly and heard the car door opens as driver went out taking a hide before a loud boom was heard.
I was not fazed by this surprise, but, who planted the Proximity Bomb in the middle of nowhere to the road of the cave? I wouldn't be so sure but fuck man, that is too crazy. My claw was a bit tight on my glove though in tension. "I- yeah, you're right." one of the soldiers groaned.
I jumped off the truck and saw the dent and debris of the front truck scattered by the bomb - total damage was too much indicating it could not be drove anymore. "Fuck." I delivered the quote from Alien 3 my friends and me saw.
My friends got out of the truck to approach me and the front truck - they were unfazed by the damage and were calm just like me, I guess, that kind of thing would happen to people who plays video game.
"I'm not surprised." he said nonchalantly with a shrug.
A loud piercing horn was heard from the mountainous area breaking the windows of the back truck and mirrors, it did not hurt my Xenomorph ears or any other people ears, but the worst pain I have ever inflicted is throwing a chair on my FUCKING tail.
"What the fuck was that?" My dad cursed, it was pretty normal actually - my parents were famous of sprouting curse word in front of his son or myself. Eh, wasn't too bad to learn them, ha! I hissed in amusement.
"I have a sneaking suspicion that they retrieved our technology and modified it." I said loud, sending a shiver down every spine imagining a full blown xenomorph using nuclear bombs. A buzzing sound was heard and it was apparently..
a FUCKING.
Drone.
It was Military-Grade Drone, a bit rusty indicating it was scrapped and stolen and there was a familiar goop on the drone which raised the suspicion into success that our tech was indeed stolen by the Xenomorph with stealth.
My inner jaw was sprouting up my maw, opening and suddenly it shots up in a bonus with also acid giving the acid liquid a boost to get into the drone, however, it was instantly melted to the scraps and gooey plastic.
And, you do know, that is my fucking first time using the inner jaw and I have a trick under my sleeve. "Mmm, nice." Cade groaned in disgust as soon Kevin said that, he was practically calm like he meditated thousand time.
"Come on, let's go." I said with a shrug of calmness.
In our way, we encountered something running past and zipping through the trees which is the way we're going to come to, we, officially began paranoid of our surrounding thinking there is somebody watching our every movement.
And, in the stupidest thing ever and coincidentally - a storm were rolling, like those stupid horror movies before you enter something - a storm would be rolling over to come and say, 'Hey! Look at those stupid incoherent humans! Let's rain!' but no offense to Nature.
Right?
Entering the huge forest area, I began to smell different ground and material which I did not recognize right away but extra-terrestrial came out in my head - I was urged to walk faster so I did telling others to walk faster including myself.
A rumble was heard practically from the storm, it was very chilling rumble that sent shiver down my spines until suddenly a Xenomorph reveal itself - he has a scar between his throat and strokes of red and orange and a 'strap' watch into his arm.
He was somehow familiar.
I took a step and he followed the same motions, I have no words what to say but I kept walking until we were each nearby in front - in close sight he had a bad scars around his legs and tails like he was in war.
His domed head was strangely glinting, then I saw a mark of something chilling - it was hexagon signature and has a light blue circle in the middle because the hexagon was colored Navy blue. But the creepiest thing when I lifted my hand to touch him he followed my movement.
I brought my palm into his and suddenly I realize this was a mirror - "A.. mirror, but I'm different not like this." I say loud, the mental voice was echoed and duplicated but the other myself was..
Real voice, its mouth was moving instead of mentally.
"Holy shit." Cade cursed with Kevin in sync, they had a theory coming up in their hand to come, what was this thing?! "A future mirror, that cannot be true." my dad said.
"A different phenomenon of space and time, from Zeta Reticuli?" dad said again, he was too absolutely shocked - and approached the mirror, the others couldn't see themselves which means it was only for me.
"I.. cannot believe this." I say with a sigh, then I was tempted to break this but the mirror did it jobs first - sending us into a shock of white light that covered us and encased our sight ever. It hurt my sight and others visions.
But then, we were suddenly in a different place and it was vast and clear skies, the ground was rocky and mountainous - but where are we? "Those rock formation are weird." The Squad Leader said gazing at those weird rock formations.
"We need to find shelter." My dad planned.
"Maybe that cave under the mountain right there, sir?" lieutenant, Brandon said pointing at the far away cavern, it was enough for us but I don't trust a single cavern after the first accident. "Alright, keep your eye open and wide, be alert."
Then off we go into the cavern, took a solid 15 minute to reach there but eventually the cavern was empty and enough for us to hide and my friends caught a vision of a ore embedded in the stone of the cavern.
They said it wasn't Earth ore.
"We.. got teleported?" Brandon gaped.
"Alright, I will find some fresh water, trees and such to make a shelter, equipment and find a way to get back." Dad said, however, I whimpered thinking we were such far away from our star if we got teleported.
Then we have the same meaning of meeting the original Xenomorph.
"I will go with you, dad." I say sternly, he sighed and looks down - he seems hesitant but then he finally answered after a few moment, "If you say so, just don't push the terror and fear." he answered with a smile.
"Roger that." I winked.
I stood and followed my dad into the light of this rocky vast ground, finding for resources and hope to get back to our planet and our world. My dad were heading north and directed into the hills far away but he has emergency MREs and emergency drink.
And pocket of water carrier, and 6 water bottle, we will be able to carry that much water back to shelter but as with me I carry an axe, my favorite AR-15 for protection. "Wherever we are, we have to get ready."
"No matter what."
"Ready."
"Engage."
"GO!"
