Ricoice Note: this is the chapter I think everyone have been waiting for so here it is Lex and Cold Blade V.S. the Alienped and his crew in all out, drag out fight to the death and don't forget to read and review. I'm very sorry for not updating this sooner but you all know how life can throw you a curve ball or two but in my case it was six but I'm back now and ready to roll.

Chapter 9

It took Lex only a hour to reach one of the ten planets that was in this hunting systems where she place her ship in orbit and began to scan it to see what hunting level that it holds as she wait for the scan to be done she can't help to think is truth lee ready to hunt down and kill a living creature just in order for her to gain the respect of the clan.

But the answers to that question will had to wait as her ship let out a loud beep letting her know that the scan is done.

As she read the information she was shock to see that this planet that holds the rank that is three times above her own. That when Lex decide what better way to show the clan she can hunt just as well as any of them then on Honor rank hunting planet as she continuing reading she was amaze to discover that this planet that she name Wild Glacier because going though it's ice age's with one half of the planet cover in ice and snow and the other deep dark jungle but what made smile every more when the scan show both humanoid and animal life on each side. Now the question is which side to hunt on first?

Lex (thinking and looking at the view orb): well it been a while since I feel a nice cool breeze on my face.

So with that thought Lex begin bring her cloak ship down to the ice cover part of the planet deciding to hunt on this part for her first week and the other. As she landed her ship about eight miles from alien village where she had made her base camp. As the walk ramp of lower to the ice and snow cover ground that when Lex felt the cold breeze hit her unmask face before she said.

Lex (smiling): Mmm. Feels like home.

Before she put on her mask and turning on her armor heating system before walk down the ramp and on to the froze ground arm with her translator collar, wrist blades, glaive, combat-stick, Yakutia combat knife and Yakutia bow and arrows. She didn't feel the need to have all of her weapons and as well the extra weight could slow her down on the icy ground pulse she wanted to challenge herself and not having all of her weapons on would do just that.

Lex felt a little stiff in form her short trip so she decide that she would go for a run in order to stretch her legs and as well to see what type of prey she may fine on her run.

So with thought Lex close the door to her ship before turn on her cloak and the ship before begin her run about two miles from her base camp she found small ice hole were a small group penguins are fishing. But these penguins are far different their earth counter parts with pink and white skin with gold horn sitting on the top their heads much like a unicorn. Lex couldn't help but to smile at this sight before she turn off her cloak and kneel on one knee and to her surprise they didn't run form but instantly form a small circle around her.

Lex took off her mask and place on her belt before reaching out to one of them and pat it on its litter head which she got a happy chirp form him. Just them one of the others let out set of beers which cause all the others to run into the hole. Leaving Lex to wonder what do they know that she doesn't?

She got her answer in the form of loud and vizier roar that come from behind her Lex did a front roll and turn to face whatever is coming at the same time she pull out her combat-stick and extending it. Just then a 12 foot tall four arm alien polar bear with red eyes looking at her to his next meal. But Lex next had other plans just then the beast change at her with all the speed of a raging bull but Lex just simple jump over him which in raging the beast even more.

In that rage he made the mistake that Lex have been waiting for as the beast rise himself onto his back legs to let out a fearsome roar only to have Lex combat-stick thrown right though his neck killing him with one blow as the dead beast fall face first into snow cover ground with thunders clash. Lex wasted no time claiming her trophy but seeming that it's three times her size she couldn't do the traditional skull rip but instant she use her Wristcom laser like a scalpel to cut off the beach ball size skull head and raise it with both hands high above her head showing the Yakutia gods that she had made her first kill before let out a primal scream to let the all in hunting grounds know that she is here to stay before she place it back down near the dead body.

As she pick up her combat-stick before walking back over to her first trophy and give it a good look over before deciding that it's best for her to use her ship trophy preparation kit rather than her backpack one so with that thought she pick up the sever head and place a location beacon near the body just in case a snow storm cover the body.

It took her a little more time to get back to her ship but Lex didn't mind she was just happy to made her first kill and a was big one at that. Once back in her ship she took her time cleaning and polishing her trophy until it was shining like new car on a hot sunny day.

As Lex place her bear skull on her ship trophy holding area with a big smile on face knowing that this is first of many to come. Seeming that she had lot of daylight left Lex decade that she will continues jog to the alien village to see will be any more trophy she can clam before her first day ends.

Lex had just turn on her cloak and ship when out of nowhere a Mandala ship (Migratory ship) came flying overhead just inches above her ship heading toward the same alien village where she was going to but something inside her is tell her that she better get to that village fast and that what she did running at full speed so got there only about eight minters after the unknown Yakutia ship had landed nearby as she slowy and careful made her into village she can see that someone had kill the two guards that was post at the entrance of the village. As she made further into village Lex found more bodies each of them was kill with the sighs of a plasma caster have been use at close range but no signs of a fight making her bad feeling turn to rage and disgust she knew that no Yakutia would kill their prey without giving a chance to fight back at least not a honorable one that is.

Lex (with a angry and in low voice): Bad Bloods.

Without a anther word Lex leap onto the roof of one the villagers home which she could tell is made of ice and snow much like an igloo but much taller wasting no time she made to the center of the village where she did find two unmask bad bloods have gather all what seems to be like all women and children of a cat like people who are rearing thick fur clothing over their thin fur bodies. Using her mask zoom she could see that that the pair have taking off their mask but as well their power packs with their plasma caster sill on leaving them arm only with wrist blades and scatter guns which they had pointed at the fearful crowd just then one of the biggest of two bad bloods garb a young Cat woman by neck and lifting her off the ground before saying.

Older bad blood (holding the cat woman up and looking her over before turn his head to his younger partner): yes. This pussy cat will do just fine for my playtime little brother watch them and if any of them try anything kill them.

Young bad blood (with an evil smile and pointing his Scatter gun at them): with plesaer brother.

Without anther word between them the older bad blood swing his helpless captured over his right shoulder and carry her into one the empty homes while his baby brother the stand guard over their hostages. Lex had heard and seen more than a enough but she have been waiting right time to strike and that time is now. So Lex stealthier got down form her viewpoint and made her to the younger bad blood.

Lex knew when it comes to killing bad bloods there are no rules so she could have easy kill the honor less Yakutia with good shot form her bow but that would rob her the of pleasure seeming the look on his face when she kill him. So when she was just inches form he she turn off her cloak at the same time pulling out her glaive and extending to it full length just as her prey turn around to see what fool try to challenge him only to get one of her glaive blade into his chest and to add insult to injury she use her wrist computer to play back his voice saying.

Lex (looking into his eyes and in his voice): with pleasure.

That was the last thing he heard before she twisting the blade to the right causing him to let out a defying roar right in her face before lifting him off the ground and flinging him off her glaive like the pace of trash that he is. As turn to the house that the older bad blood have gone in for his so call "playtime" only to fine him standing at the door just wearing only his wrist blades with the look of shock and disbelieve on his face. Lex on the other is hand is as calm as cool breeze on a hot summer day close her glaive and place it back in holder before balling her first causing her Wrist blades shoot out.

Lex waited to see what this bad blood would do and not all to surprising the coward didn't evening try to avenge his brother but took off making a b-line to his ship with Lex hot on his heels. When his ship was in sight ship Lex knew it was now or never so jump high into the air pull out her bow and grape one her exploding arrows form her case pressing the arming button on the end and fire it into the snow that was few inches between him and his ship the blast forcing him to stop dead in his tracks. As she landed on her feet she can see that he prey had releasing his blades form his gauntlet and cheering at her like wild beast other than a Yakutia Lex dope her bow before releasing her own blades but she stood her ground.

His first swing miss her by a mile and second was no better it took all her shelf control not to laugh right in his face with one swing form her blades she cut off his hand at the Wrist Blades part before giving him quick kick to his stomach causing him to fall dead on his back. The bad blood got himshef off and up the snow cover ground to kneeling at feet.

Lex was about to deal the finale blow when he ask a question that she didn't expect.

Older Bad blood (kneeling and looking up at her): what are you?

That simply question took Lex a few seconding longer to answer. At the begging of this day she ask herself a simply question "is she ready to hunt down and kill a living creature in order for her to gain the respect of the clan?" she have the answer to that question in the form of two kills and third on it's way and the answers to his question.

Lex (look down at him with her blades arm up high in the air and in a heartless voice): I'm yautja something you once was.

She said to him before pluge her blades into his neck and pull up bring his head and spinal column out of his body as she let out primal scream of victory into the slowly darkling sky once she had place her new trophy safely in a net bag Lex was about leave the body were it at to rot but she had ideal that the people of the villagers would like very much so with a smile on her mask face she grabbed the right ankle of the headless body and pick up the sever hand and her bow dragging back to the village. When she got she find that the villagers had gather all the dead bodies of their love ones who was kill by the bad bloods and propagating them for burial and helping the young female that the older bad blood took into the house for his so call "playtime".

Lex use her mask scan to see what are her injurers and for what her scans shows that have few crack ribs and her left arm is broken but no sign of her being rape but that knowledge didn't make Lex feel any better but what she was about to do will.

Lex releasing her blades form her gauntlet and quickly began skinning the dead bad blood once she finish the cat woman who was attack by older Bad blood came up to and to the surprise of Lex her translator collar had some problem changing their language into English but after a few more tries it work.

Young cat woman (looking at Lex): I said who are you and why are you here?

Lex didn't answer her question at first just slow remove the holes form her mask before removing her mask slowly revving her face to the shock of the young cat woman and her people.

Lex (looking at her and in a clam voice): my name is Alexis woods of the Black Claw Clan and I came her to do some hunting but in stand I found them.

Young cat woman: my name is Vell and on the be half my village I thank you for kill those two monster but tell me why are dress and arm like them but you are not of them?

Lex (with a small smile on her face): that's a long story Vell but tell me why there are so few warrior guarding you?

Vell told her that all men had gone on the hunt and won't be back until the next full moon.

Lex (smiling at her): well then I think sick around until they come back.

Vell and other villagers were very happy to hear that news and watch as Lex took off the younger bad blood wrist blades, loincloth and the holster for his Scatter gun before skull rip and skin him before dragging both of the headless to the at the entrance of the village and hang the skin and headless bodies as warning to all dare to come and hunt on mark grounds when she jump back down to Vell ask.

Vell (looking at her before pointing to the bad bloods skin): are you going to use those hide for anything Lex?

Lex (shaking her head): no. They are all yours Vell. In fact I kill a bear just few miles for your village I go get and bring it back here seen that you guy can better use out then me anyway.

Vell (shock and fearful look on face): yes, but you need to hurry they maybe some wolfs that caught the scent of your kill and Lex be careful I would love to hear like to her that long story of yours.

Lex (smiling at her): don't worry I will.

She said to Vell before putting on her mask back on and making her way out the village and to the body of the alien bear that she kill easily on that day. But as she was about to Drag the headless body back to Vell village the howl of a wolf stop her dead in her tacks it.

Lex use her mask thermal mode to see that she was facing a pack of 12 wolfs that appear just a few feet in front of her who had spikes coming out their back in a line form top their heads all down to the end of their tails with each of them had sable tooth fangs and the fact that they are the same size as a full grow lion didn't help matter ether it seems that her new friend warning was right on the money.

But Lex was not one bit afraid just the opposite she was over joy that she get to make some kills and this time it real prey "not some honor less bag of bones" she thought before she pull out her Yakutia bow and extending before grasping one her arrows form her arrows case and ready herself form good fight.

And what good fight it was the six sable wolfs change at her a full speed ready to ripe her apart but Lex stood her ground and took out three of them with headshots causing to clash into the snow before other three was just to close for a good kill shot forcing her to use the blades on her bow to cut them down as try to leap at her.

Once the last the sable wolf fell dead the alpha male and the rest of the pack come change down at full speed determined to kill Lex and vaguer the falling brothers and sisters but when all said and done only the alpha male is left as Lex and him face off Lex slowly close her bow and put it back on her backpack before reaching down to right boot to pullout her 12 inch blade form it and ready herself just as she did the alpha change at her with such speed that it took Lex complete by suppress and now she was on her back with the alpha on top her trying to bite her head off but Lex quickly stab him right in his mount killing him with one blow.

Once Lex had kick the dead alpha body off her she wasted no time claiming his head as her trophy before the tied him and the rest of the bodies of his pack together thinking that Vell and her people can use them. Once she had everything ready she begain to drag all the bodies back to the Vell village.

As she return she was greeted by cheers of joy that she had come back unharm and safe once they had finish skinning and butcher the bear and wolfs. Vell and the rest of her village hosted a big feast in honor of Lex for saving them form the bad bloods and also bring back the bear and wolfs for them. At the end of the feast Lex told them all that happen to her on earth and her training as a blooded yautja their was in shock form such a tell but not the fact you would may think.

Vell (with a shock look on her face): you telling us that the yautja have not just males as warrior but females as well?

Lex (confuess look on her face): yes, but why that is so surpassed to you Vell?

Vell: my people believe that males are born to became hunter and warriors while female are born to be mothers, caretakers and other female readily things.

Lex (looking around the group): what happen if a female want to a hunter or warrior?

Village elder (with sadness in her voice): she will be mark as outcast and force to leave village never to able to return.

Lex (looking at the elder): oh I see. I guess you knew someone didn't want to be a traditional female?

Village elder (looking at Vell and back at Lex): yes, my older sister Jewel.

Vell (almost yelling at her): what?! Grandmother you told mother and I that she kill by a pack of wolfs!

Vell mother (looking at Vell before her mother and in a clam voices): Vell. Clam yourself mother is what you told Alexis is ture?

Village elder (looking at them and in a sad voice): yes, my daughter it is true. But I think it's time let you and my grand daughter knew the truth about my brave sister.

With that said village elder call everyone attending before tell her tell about twenty years ago her and older sister Jewel have very close since they where little but Jewel had always like hanging around the young hunters and warriors and for a time the chief of the village at the time allow her to do so in time Jewel learn the ways of the hunt just as well as any male in the village but when she come of age to be marry she refuse all the young warrior that come for her hand saying "she wanted to be a huntress not some male house slave." and for her defiance she was banister form the village.

Village elder (looking over the faces and pulling out a big book before handing it to Vell): but she didn't go far because every time that we are in need of hids or meat she would provide it but in the end she die alone just few miles from our village but before she left us with one more gift. This book is record of all her kills and hunting technique that she learn over her life and think it's time for you have this.

Vell took the book with good hand and before looking at her grandmother

Vell (holding it and looking at her): I will take great care of this grandmother.

Village elder (looking at Vell before looking back to the crowd): I know you will child. There is one more gift that my sister Jewel had left us she told me this one day I was home alone and she seek in to see me I ask her why she don't give up this path she had choose. She told me this "a new path always need a preson to travel it so others can follow." I didn't understand her words until today it is time for us females to follow the path my sisther have prpeapeir for us.

With that she turn to Lex and ask her to help make weapons and teach them how to use them as well of course she argeed to help but ask.

Lex (looking at village elder): but what are you going to say to the chief when he and the others retrun?

Village elder (looking at Lex with small smile on her face): that it will be some big changes around here.

Lex laugh a little at that remark before Vell ask more about her wrist blades and her other weapons before showing her were she sleeping at for the night and once she was setller in Vell wising her goodnight before leving her to rest. The next morning Lex aworking to the sound of her wirstcom beeping once she stop the beeping and look to see what cause the her wirstcom to go off and to her surprise to see that a Arbitrator Man'daca ship (Migratory ship) had just come in the planet atmosphere and headed toward were she is.

(Lex thinking): what would being Arbitrators here?

But with one look to the skulls of the bad blood that she clean last night before headed to bed give her answers and she quickly realize that her head might be joinging them.

But never the less she got dress before putting the bad bloods heads in a net bag before headed out the door to face her fate.

Just before the Arbitrators ship landed by the bad bloods ship just outside Vell village Lex told Vell and the other worry villagers who thought that anther bad bloods ship what is going and told them to stay in the village until she come back form talking with the Arbitrators hoping that what she just said wasn't her least words.

Once Lex reach the Arbitrators ship she could see that they were several Yakutia standing by their walk ramp of their in a line all of them a wearing full armor and weapons but what surprises Lex somewhat is that they are female as well and the tallies one them is wearing a long black and sliver cape. But all thoughts was put aside when kneel infort them before plance the net bag that hold the bad bloods skulls and said.

Lex (kneeling with her down): I am Alexis woods of the black claw clan and I yield my trophies and head to you Arbitrators.

For a time the leader of the Arbitrators look at her before before she said.

Head Arbitrator (in clam and deep female voice): rise Alexis of the black claw clan I and my follower Arbitrators are not going to clam the head of any yautja who did the honorable thing.

After letting out mental sigh of relieft she did ask before respectful asking the lead Arbitrator her name and what was the crime or crimes of the two bad bloods?

Arbitrator Rune (looking at her and smiling under her mask): it's Arbitrator Rune young one and as for their bad bloods crimes are drugging and trying to rape one the daughters of their clan elder as well trying to kill that elder who caught them in the act but somehow got away form them with their heads sill on their shoulder before stealing a ship. We been looking for them two weeks since then but thanks to you they have got the deaths that they desevers.

Lex (bowing her head to her before pointing at the bad blood ship): it was my pleasure and honor to do so Arbitrator Rune. But my I ask what are going to do with their ship?

Arbitrator Rune: not at all Alexis when head back to the homeworld we have follow us back on autopilot but now I have a question for you.

Lex: and that question is?

Arbitrator Rune: do you mind telling us about your time with Elder Gary Knife and his clan? We heard so many rumors about you it would be nice to get the true form you.

Lex (head to one side): what kind rumors Arbitrator Rune?

Arbitrator Rune and her team just laugh for a time before she expand to her that their rumors are not bad just stories about her deeds with her elder and clan.

Lex: Oh. Well let clear up something then.

Lex told them all that happen to her snice joining her clan needless to the say they shock on the news of the DNA mix and she is now mated to Gray Knife elder son Cold Blade but they were very please on how she hander Dicer and Striker. Once finish her story her story also told them what had happen to Vell and others thanks to the bad bloods and as well her plans to stay with them until the chief and the rest of the males return form the hunt as well teach them the way of the hunt and how protect themselves.

Arbitrator Rune (looking around at her team who give her a head nag to her before looking back at Lex): well then we will stay as well and assist you anyway we can Alexis of the black claw clan.

Lex was shock and puzzler on why would a team of Arbitrators would want to stay to help her guard and teach people that they haven't even met yet? But she wasn't going start question a Arbitrator or look a gift horse in the mouth. So Lex turn and lead Arbitrator Rune and her team into Vell Village.

For the rest of that week Lex, Arbitrator Rune and her team stay with Vell and her people who weclome them with opening arms as they begin learning the way of the hunt by them and as well using the book that Jewel had left them. Lex and Arbitrator Rune was very surpuress on fast Vell and the other young females of village cautgh on to their teaching and by the time the chief and the hunters return would return every unmate females learn everything they need to know on the hunt and thanks to Lex and the Arbitrator Rune weaponsmite each of the had their own Wrist Blades (which most them like to have them one on each arm),combi-sticks, glaive and yautja combat knifes but much to the surprise of Lex and Arbitrator Rune they didn't any of their high-tech weapons saying "they as a people are not ready for such weapons."

To said that the chief of Vell village and his hunters and warriors was shock beyoue words where they are greeted to the sight of not one but three aliens ships park by the enterers of their village as well all of their females are standing side by side wearing strange weapons on their bodies or holding them with seven very tall aliens females and one not so tall one wearing the same weapons on them plus masks and armor standing by them as well would be a understatement.

But when the chief and his company was told all that had happen while their was away by Vell Grandmother and their wishing for the future of their village and to the surpress of Lex, Arbitrator Rune and her team he agreed and accepted his all of his villages females wished.

That night all the females of Vell village cook big fest to celebrate the safe return of the chief and all his hunters and warroirs as well their new right to the hunt all thanks to Lex, Arbitrator Rune and her team who was the guess of honor once again.

The next morning Vell, her mother, grandmother and all the females of the village give gifts Lex, Arbitrator Rune and her team was surprises and happy to see that her gifts are made for her kills had made so far. The first is a black hooded snowsuit and boots made form the fur of alpha wolf the second is a white fur coat made form the fur of the alien polar bear the third is a necklace made for the sable fangs of the pack that she kill and the last gift is a very large trophy bag made form the skin of the bad bloods.

As for Arbitrator Rune and her team gifts were bone and Jewel Necklaces and armbands to thank them for all they have done before she, Arbitrator Rune and her team had leave in order for Lex continued on with her trophy hunt and Arbitrator Rune and her team for their hunt more bad bloods.

Lex, Arbitrator Rune and her team thank them for their gifts before making their way out the village and to their waiting ships that are power up and to ready to go.

As she, Arbitrator Rune and her team reach the walk ramp to their and Lex to her they all turn around for one last at the village that they come to as stangers but now leving as friends. Before walking up their ramps and into their ships as there slowly rise off the snow cover ground with Arbitrator Rune and her team headed higher into the sky and into space with the bad blood following close behind while Lex headed to south toward the jungle part of the planet.

Rain is poring down hard onto the top Lex shuttle deep into the jungle were it had been park at for the second week her of trophy hunt and today is the last day of her hunt she wanted return to the clan ship that morning but a huge thunderstorm roll in fast and she decide it best and safer for her to wait for it to pass then trying to take off in such bad weather but been stuck in her ship for god knows for how long is not she I use too this past week and with that thought Lex turn her chair around to face her trophy wall that sitting on the right side wall of shuttle form all the kills that she had made over the past two weeks her garze started with the skulls of the pola bear, bad bloods and the alpha wolf.

Before lowing her eyes to the ones she had kill this week started with the skull of a alien tiger that bone plates all over his body making his very hard to kill but in the end she pin the armor beast to tree with her net gun but in stand of finishing it off with one her other wepaons she just let the razor sharp wires to do the job for her as they dig into it's soft underbelly killing it.

Next to that one is the skulls of human like spiders that caught her by surprise while she was removing the skull of the armor tiger with her Wristcom laser she didn't notice them in time and indeed up being warp up to head to toe in spiders web which cause her to fall onto her back before the two spider humans begin to pull up thinking that she will be far better dinner then the tiger but they made the mistake of not warping her tighter because Lex grab her smart disc for it's holder on right thigh form under the web cutting herself free and falling head first but she turn into a back flip and landed on her feet before she took arm and throwing the bladed disc at them killing the first one by cutting him in half who was sill in the tree while his partner jump down to only to get it's head taking off as soon his claw feet touch the ground as the Smart disc return to the waiting hand of Lex couldn't help but to think "three kills one day on the first day is started to be my trade mark."

The next two skulls was clam on the same day as well when she found very large village of human like raptors and who was having a contest to see who was the strongest among them the winner get a chance to fight the king for his throne.

Lex watch as 6'6, 230lb raptor man who had made himself a set of armor out the bone plates of one those of armor tiger that she kill the other day. Killing his strong but unarmored foes with his steel double headed axe until he was the only one standing and that when the king stood and look right her as if she didn't have on her cloak on and said.

Raptor king (looking down at the armor warrior before looking at Lex): Bone Claw you have shown me and all that is here today that you have no honor in your soul but I think their someone here that will teach you today that warrior who have no honor will die with no honor.

Lex couldn't agreed more with the King statement as she jump form here view point onto the sanded ground of the arena and trun off her cloak in full view of the shock and very surprise Bone claw and the crowd. Holding her spear gun knowing that his armor those have a weak sopt the visor of helmet was jut big enough for see though but Bone claw knew this as well. He change at her full speed lowler his head making sure that Lex couldn't get clear shot only rising head when was close enough to swing his axe at her but Lex just side step his attuck each to time he did until armor warrior had lost his temper changing at her with his head and axe held hight but that was a gave error on Bone Claw part with the speed of a master gunsluger pull her spear gun for her right hip and firing two spear darts at him hitting him in the eye's though his barin and out at back of skull and helmet killing him were he stand.

Lex took her time as she took off the now dead bone claw helmet, chest and back plate before flipping him over plaguing her claw hand into his back to grap hold of his spinal column and with a smooth move she pull it out form the dead body and held it high into the air as she let primal scream that was somewhat overshadow by cheers of the crowd but as soon as the king and his son who have been watching the games at his father side jump down form their chairs with heavy armor and arm gurads as well who made a circle around before pointing their spears, long sword and axes at her.

As for Lex she just place her new trophy in net bag before looking around the circle that the king gurads had made around her before turn her attening to king and his son and to the surprise of Lex the king told his men stand down before thanking her for killing Bone claw and before tilling her the real reason on why there are having these game for inorder for the king to have to die battler with honor but seeing with the dishonor way Bone Claw fight he knew that won't be a good knig so when he saw the outline of her cloak body he knew that the gods had answers his prays for a champion.

Lex (looking at him): and how do you know about my kind?

The king told him that his father had face one her kind in combat and live to tell the story before asking her will she honor her role as champion?

Lex: yes I will.

So with the that said the king told her that she can use any hand weapon that she have on her and seeing that she just brought her Plasma caster, Scatter Gun, Spear Gun, Taps, and her yautja brass knuckles. So with not much of choice she put them on her hands before pressing the bottom on the side to shoot out the eight inc spikes that on the top of each knuckles.

As for the king he just pull off his red cape and handed to his son before saying that his nines inc claw hands and feet will be his weapons. But Lex did something els that shock and surprise everyone but the king that is as she remove all her weapons, armor, net bag with Bone claw skull in it, and mask leaving her wearing her black tub top, wire body mesh, loincloth and boot sandals.

Lex (looking at the king son): to fight your father on equal terms.

She to him befoe looking at his father who was more then ready to get this fight stared but Lex had one more question to and that is.

Lex (looking at the king and in fighting stance): I just wondering if I wasn't here right now and Bone claw was sill champion what would have done thing?

The king told her that he would had fight him and if he had kill him and then his son would had to him fight to see who would be king.

The king (looking a this son before back at her): I know this because I had to fight my father to gain my thone but I don't want my son to have the same pain that I had to carry all my life snice then.

Lex nag her head understandment before she and the king let out battle crys before they begain their battler and what a battler it was Lex had to use everything learn form Gary Knife, Cold Blade, and all her humans friends just to hold her own against the 6'7, 209lb with a six foot long tall that is just as deadly as any head meat and if wasn't for DNA mix she would be long been dead form blood loss form the deep cuts that's all over her body and pain form the three clack ribs but in the end her age and will win over his power and experience.

But for Lex it was a bitter sweet victory as near down to him just like she did with Scar so long ago and just like before she hear the last words of a being that that she came to respect and those last was.

The king (in weak voice and looking up at her): thank you, my champion.

With that the prince is now the new king and the crowd chanted his name for a time before he call for slinet before he turn to Lex and ask her can she wait till sunset in order give his father soul time to reach their ancestors before taking her trophy.

Lex agreed before turning form him and she slowly and painful putting back on her armor and weapons just before she turn on her cloak and left the arena but she didn't go far just high and far enough to take of her wounds with her med kit and once that was done she waited for the sun to set in order to claim her secone trophy for that day.

And that brings her to the last skull that she claim before her time for the hunt come to a end it was queen of race of human like praying mantis that she told by the new king the day after her battle with his father. Who have been killing anyone or anything come near the jungle that was not far form a small vilager in his kingdom and he had send some of his best warriors to kill them but none them have return.

It didn't take long for her to find out what had happen to the king man and the nest but the bugs was much smarter way that she would had guessed as they attack her in teams of four in wave after wave but thanks to her plasma caster, scatter gun and her training she made quick work of them but once all drones and warriors bugs were dead the queen was the last one to came out the hive and seeing that she stood ten feet tall while the other stood at seven to nine foot she was a litter more a challenge but in the end she too fine her end at by three of her fire traps.

Lex use the rest of her fire traps to burn the hive to the ground making sure that they will not become back.

But the skull of the queen wasn't the only thing she come back with that day the metal blades of the of the ones that she had kill will make great daggers or swords for her friends and family and seeing that got one hundred metal blades should be more then enough.

Lex turn her chair back around to see how much much longer she had to wait and form what her ship computer had show she sill have a hour or two to wait. So with not much else to to do she hook up her mask and wristcom to the her ship computer in order to make a video of all the kills she had made over the past two weeks to show the clan.

Once that was done she sill little time left to wait so she deiced to make anther video but this one will be just for her and Cold Blade of her using a waterfall washing off the green and blue blood form the mantis human that she had kill. Lex couldn't wait to see the look on his face when see this as she finish it was time for her take off and Lex didn't wasted no time in doing so and by the time she reach speace the clan ship was their waiting for her.

Once she had landed and lowing her ship walk ramp in ships bay were she was greeted by one of the Eldress aids/bodygurads who told her that the elder and eldress is wating for in the clan hall. So Lex quickly garb her trophy bag that holding all her skulls and a net bag with arm blades of the mantis before close her ship door before following Elderss Black Heart aid to the clan hall were she was once welcome to the sit of all the clan together and like before they clear a path for her in order to reach their Elder and Eldress who was sitting in their chairs with Dark Fire standing by her mother side.

Gray Knife (bowing his head): welcome back Alexis and I can see that you hunt want well.

Lex (bowing her head to them and hold the net bag in her right hand and the trophy bag over her left shounder): yes, Elder it want very well so much in fact I have made a video for the clan to see it.

Black Heart (smiling under her mask): Oh, have you now well the let's see it then.

With that Black Heart press a few bottoms on right arm rest which cause a viewing orb to reise form the floor a few behide Lex turn around plance the chip in but not before making sure it the right one first and press the bottom to start the video and for the next hour Gary Knife, Black Heart, Dark Fire and the whole clan watch as Lex made kil after kill until the video end.

But as soon that it did the whole clan let out cheers and roars for a shot time before they stated to chant Lex name until Gary Knife and Black Heart rise their hands to silent the clan.

Gary Knife (looking at Lex): Alexis you have indeed had a good hunt and you have show me but the clan as well you did with honor I'm very proud to have you as member of my clan and family. Now is their anything is else you like to tell or show us from your hunt?

Lex (smiling under her mask bowing her head to him): and I'm honor to be menber of this clan and family as well and yes I do have something's like to show and tell the clan but I need a table to do so Elder.

Gary Knife had table brought to her and she place her trophy bag and net bag down before pulling out each one of her trophy one by one in the order that she kill them in end before telling her elders and clan the stories behide each kill before showing them the arm blades of the mantis men.

Lex (looking over the clan): I like to say to all of you that bad bloods are good for something though.

A male clan member: and that something is?

Lex (turning around slowly rubbing her over her trophy bag): they make great trophy bag.

No sooner she said that everyone in the room brust in thunrder laughter until once again once Gary Knife and Black Heart rise their hands to silent the clan.

Gary Knife (looking over his clan and laughing a littler): and with that said I call this meet to close my clan you are dismiss.

And like before the clan made their way out the hall until Gary Knife, Black Heart, Dark Fire and Lex was alone who was very happy to see that she had return safe and sound as well with some many trophies. Just then Gary Knife and Black Heart Wristcom strated to beep.

Dark Fire (looking at Gary Knife): what is it father?

Gary Knife (looking at Wristcom before looking at her): Cold Blade had just return and he will be land soon.

That was all Lex need to heard as she quicky but careful started to putting her trophies back but stop when Gary Knife told her.

Gary Knife (one hand on her right shoulder): go Alexis we will make sure tht your trophies will be taking care of.

Lex (turning around and hugging him): thank you, Elder.

Was all she said before letting go of him and running out the clan hall and quickly made her way back ships bay. She made there just as Cold Blade is landed the Shadow Rose and lowing the walk ramp before coming down it. The first thing Lex wanted to do is jump into his arms like she have seen in so many movies and T.V. news stories of girlfriends or wife's soldiers come home form war now knowing why they do so but Lex hold herself form doing so as Cold Blade stop only inch from her and said.

Cold Blade (looking down at her as he rising his hand to touch the right side of her mask): Beautiful one, you have return as well tell me how did your hunt go?

Cold Blade expand to her that he in did fine the beast but at the worst possible plance a trial temple on planted that's not to far form hard meat infested planted with not one but two queens and nest full of hard meats.

Cold Blade (looking down at her before turning his head form her): I had no choice but to abanding the hunt and retun empty handed and with no honor as well.

Lex (reaching up turning his head to look at her): Cold Blade listing to me when I say this yes, you came back empty handed but there is no dishonor on asking for help or knowing when a fight is too dangers ever for a brave warrior to face alone understand.

Cold Blade (looking deep into her mask eyes): yes, my Beautiful one I understand.

Lex (unwarping her arms form him before taking his hand into her): good now let's go see our Elders and tell them what you have learn and see what we can do about it.

With that said Cold Blade and Lex walk hand in hand out the ships bay to their Elders quarters were they found them at the dinner table were a big meal had been made form which Cold Blade and Lex are more then happy to join them and once everyone had fill Cold Blade told his father, mother and sister what happen on his hunt for the beast before showing the scan that he took of the trail temple and the Man'daca ship (Migratory ship) that the beast took form the Star Cutters Clan when he made is blooded and deadly escape.

Black Heart (smailing at him): then you are in deed wise my son for listing to your mate words.

Dark Fire (looking at him and smiling as well): I'm happy as well Cold Blade but tell me how do we know that the beast would just leave on his ship before we get their?

Cold Blade had notices as well and ask her mate about how did her hunt go which Lex more then happy to tell him all that had heppen to her on first ture hunt and when she had finish Cold Blade was more ready to see her tropies and the video but that had to when they got a call for Gray Knife on Cold Blade Wristcom to meet in the Unblooded training room in ten minters.

But if they are not please with your work Striker I will take that body part of yours do I make myshelf clear young one?

Striker: yes, I understand Blooded one, may I ask you a question about your clan?

With nothing els said Striker took the net bag form her hand and quickly return to his work. As Lex she told Hammer Fist that she will bring the video of her trophy for him to see it.

Hammer Fist (bowing his head to her): well then please come back as soon as you can then Alexis.

Lex just laught at her friend before making her out of his shop and to the clan med bay where she find Green Hand is working on one the young bloods that she beating up but this time he had a big baseball size hold in his right shoulder but stop when Lex had enter the room.

Green Hand (bowing his head to her): Alexis it is good to see and what bring you to see me?

Lex (smiling at him and bowing her head to him): to see you and ask how go's the research on that question I ask you before I lift for my hunt and as well get my med kit refill.

Lex just smile as she watch Green Hand made quick work of the injury young blood before sending on his way and that when he told he indeed look in to see can she have childing with Cold Blade which is that she have a fifty-fifty chances to have a child with Cold Blade.

Green Hand (looking at her with sad look on his face): I'm sorry Alexis I wish by the gods I have better news for you.

Lex (with a small smile on her face and hold her med-kit in her hands): Don't be Green Hand I know you did everything you chould do. Now I know me and Cold blade have a chance to have a child that more then I know a two weeks ago.

With that Green took her empty med-kit form her hands before turning away to go get her kit refill which only took him a few minters for him return with her kit ready to use again. Lex thank him once more before head back to her and Cold Blade quarters to see had her yautja husband have done the task that she have him to do.

As Lex enter the room she could see that Cold Blade had already done one taks is set for him all her trophies are on their trophy/weapon wall in the order that she kill them in. She took a long look at each of them before making her way to their bedroom were she find that had also put away all her trophy gift before she find him in the viewing room watching the video that she had made very close. Lex couldn't help but smile as she saw the look of pure lust that on his face as watch the video of her washing all the green and blue blood form her body and now is enjoy warm water to flow over her tone body for a time before she turn form the waterfall and made the short walk over to her mask and that when the video ended.

Lex (walking into the room with sexy smile on her face): enjoy the video, Cold Blade?

Cold Blade didn't answer his mate until she was in his arms and lap before telling her did so before asking question about her hunt which Lex was more happy to tell him all that had on her trophy hunt before she ask did he read the book that she ask him to read while she on her hunt. Cold Blade just laught a little as he told his mate had done so.

Lex (getting off his lap before pulling him to his feet): well now let's go see what you how well you learn.

Cold Balde just smile as he let his mate led him into their bedroon before he show her that he was a very good study and by the time for them to get ready for the Braiding Ceremony Lex had to stop hershlf for smiling to hard form the loving that Cold Blade have giving her the rest of that day but in the end she and him put on their dress outfits and made to the same room that Lex had her temptress lesson but this time it for the real thing.

Once Gary Knife, Black Heart and her aids who are dress in their temptress out along Dark Fire as well who all standing side by side waitin for the Unblooded to come in. they didn't had to wait long as the room door open and all six of them walk in took their place in front of their temptress who Lex couldn't but to notice that Dark Fire is pair up Dicer before Gray Knife and Black Heart order the Braiding Ceremony to begain.

Everyone the watch as Gray Knife plance their red hot heair ring's on each of their deads at the same time watching for any sign of pain form them but when it was all over with all six Unblooded had pass the pain part of the Ceremony. But Lex and Cold Blade knew the ture test is yet to come and the first one's who try to pass this test is Steel Claw, Shaper and Edger and all of them fall horrnable each of them barley lasted three mins into their dances.

Now it's Stone Hand, Sharp eyes and Dicer to try their luck and so far there are whole not better then their comards because the only thing that move on Stone Hand body was his eyes as they move to follow his temptress as she dance for him but that was all and as for his brother Sharp eyes he didn't even try to follow his temptress moves but stood their like a stone statue.

But now it's Dicer turn and as soon the the temptress song begain Lex and Cold Blade could see that Dicer and Dark Fire are in their own litter world together were she was didn't care about anyone or thing but Dicer and vices versus. So much by the end of dance Dicer had fall to his knees in front of looking up at Dark Fire who hadn't notice that she had took off her top midway doing her dance showing that is there her bare chest but she didn't care the only that matter her now that Dicer had pass the test mending that he can opening court her to be his mate which she could see that is writing in his eyes but also fear of her reject him also that when she deciced time easer that fear form him.

Dark Fire told Dicer to rise form his kneens which he did not once taking his eyes off form her before she said to him.

Dark Fire (looking into his eyes): yes, Dicers I Dark Fire of the black claw clan want to be your mate but their something first we must do first before me and you can be together.

Dicers (doing the same and in weak voice): and that is?

Dark Fire (wicked smile on her face): that I let our Elders to tell you.

With that Dark Fire turn aroud to pick up her top and return her plance on line laving Dicers standing with very confuess look on his face until Eldress Black Heart said.

Black Heart (looking over all of them): Stone Hand, Sharp eyes and Dicers congratulate you all have pass and have the honor you to go with Cold Blade, Alexis and Dark Fire on their hunt for the breast.

No soon had their Eldress had said that statemates Stone Hand and Sharp eyes face had the look of shock and disbelief as for Dicers he just smile as he now know what his further mate wanted them to do.

Gary Knife (standing beside her):we will be their in two days take this ready yourselves for the hunt.

With that both Gary Knife and Black Heart call the Ceremony to a end. Once every had left Cold Blade and Lex talk to their Elders about doing some more training before going on the hunt.

Gray Knife and Black Heart on what their new daughter in law had in mind but when she expand that Stone Hand, Sharp eyes and Dicers are now faces hunders of hard meats and as well having two females on the hunt as they going need to leard on how to fight as a team not as lone warroris. So she plan to Quick fix and his team to make target drones that look and fight like Hard meats drones and warriors.

Black Heart (smiling at her): that a wonful ideal Alexis we will Let Quick Fix know that you and Cold Blade are on the way to see him.

With that Cold Blade and Lex made their way to Quick Fix and his team once their Lex told her about ideal and ask him can he and team have the a six hundred of them ready by tomorrow morning and all he said with a smile of on his face is.

Quick Fix: it will be done Alexis.

With that Cold Blade and Lex lift him and his team to their work and return to their quarters for a good night rest. The next moring Lex and Cold Blade was the first ones in the training room wearing their armor and weapons they wll have on the hunt. For Cold Blade he choose to wearing his ritual armor as for his weapons he choose almost all of his ritual weapons but his warrior dual plasma caster would be a better choice for this hunt then his one but more powerful ritual one.

As for Lex she is wearing her stander armor but her weapons are a mix of her human weapons and yautja ritual ones which are her two MP5 with three hundred rounds chips tape together and desert eagle and as for her yautja weapons her ritual plasma caster, combi-stick (the one she got form the elder of the Star Cutters Clan) wrist blades, glaive, three middle size shuriken and ceremonial dagger.

It was Cold Blade and Lex both told Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers and Dark Fire that they will be paction how to work together in teams of two starting with them.

Lex (looking at them and standing by Cold Blade) me and Cold Blade will go first just watch and when it's your try to as we do.

With that Cold Blade press a bottom on his gauntlet active the first thirty hard meat robot drones who came right ground and wasted no time changing at them like real head meats but Lex and Cold Blade just use their long range weapons to take down as many as they could before the ones who remain they made quick work of as a team not as two warriors.

Once the last robot head meat fall to the training room grass ground Lex call for Stone Hand, Sharp eyes next to try their luck against the metal head meat and it seems that two brothers had indeed watch Lex and Cold Blade battle as they had no trouble taking down many their attuckers at long range and the ones that did make it to them was put down just as quick.

And that how Lex, Cold Blade, Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers and Dark Fire speand that whole moring and late into that afternoon until the training room jugler ground was cover with broken and twisted meatal bodies of the six hundred hard meat drones. Lex and Cold Blade was more the please on how fast and well that Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers and Dark Fire work together no matter who was their parters was. So with that thought Cold Bald and Lex call their tranining to end and to told them all that they did very well but.

Lex (looking at all of them before turn to Cold Blade): the real thing will be much harder to kill then the metal one's you face today rember that well all of you but for now I and Cold Blade wanted to you take the time to rest and perpaire for the hunt that is coming. Cold Blade is their anything you like to add?

Cold Blade (with a small laught): No. Locksoo you said all that need to be said.

With that Cold Blade and Lex call their training to close and watch as Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers and Dark Fire made their way out the training room before following them as well. Cold Blade and Lex made a quick stop at their quarters to pick up the video of her trophy hunt for Hammer Fist that she promise to show him early on that day. Hammer Fist was very impress on how well his human friend first trophy hunt was and as for Striker he now see with Cold Blade, his elders and others in his clan know already that Lex is not a weak Ooman but a strong yautja that any clan would been honor to have in their clan.

For the rest of that day and the next Lex, Cold Blade, Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers and Dark Fire all rested and when the day came for they ready for battle each of them in their armor being sending off by their elders Gray Knife and Black Heart and her aids and other high ranking members of the clan.

Instade of use the Ner'uda or Bullet pods as the yautja call them to drop them off on the planted surface but for this special blooded trail they can use the Shadow Rose which Lex was more then happy to hear that news she wasn't all n about stuff in metal box and being shoot out like a cannoning ball.

It didn't take long for them to reach the planted surface and landed they made quickly made their way to the trial temple that is now the beast and his kind nest but when Lex, Cold Blade and the others made to clearing that was about mile form it they was shock to see a small village but as they made their way in it was clear that the village had been attuck by the hard meats as they walk by the dead bodies of hard meat and to the shock of Lex the bodies of humans as well but when she thought about it more it made more sense that the ancient yautja would take a small number human form earth to be honor tribute for the blooded trail as well expand why their was some ancient city and it's people just a disappear into thin air.

As they was about to exit a old man came out form under one the dead body of one the those dead hard meats which took Lex, Cold Blade and the others by surprise and own most got the old man shout full of Plasma Caster holes by her and Cold Blade.

Once everyone had lower their gaurds and Lex kneel down by the old man before ask him what happen. Thanks to her translator collar she was able to translate what the old one was saying to them and what is say was heart aching tale of loss as Lex he told them that his whole village come out to welcome the "Gods of the sky" as his people call the yautja even so it was not the time for them to come never the less they was full with joy but only to it turn to pure horror as the ship was not full with their Gods but death on four legs Lead by a demon who had the face of the gods the young and old warrior try to fight them off but in the end they only brought the rest of the village time to flee and hide form them.

He ending his tale with plead form to get revenge for those had die and for the disrespect that he and his kind have show to them.

Lex (looking down at him and holding his hand): we will do just that and more my friend but for now as soon as you are rested I want you to return to your people and tell them that the "ture" gods had return to put a end to that demon and his kind.

The Elder man just smile at her before telling her he will do just that before whising her and the others good luck before watching them make their way to trial temple along the way. As they did Cold Blade couldn't help to ask his mate on way she sill use her translator collar when she know how to speak yautja just as well own.

Lex (looking at him as they walking together): yes Cold Blade I can speak it but my vocal cords won't let me do it for long so it best for me to use it and beside comes in handed for time to time just like a few minter ago.

Cold Blade (small laugh): that it did Locksoo.

For the rest the way no one said word not even when they make the way up the steps and into the plasma caster room. Were Cold Blade and the others were shock to see that all three ritual plasma caster was laying on the top of the stone coften as Stone Hand, Sharp eyes and Dicers slow pick up one of them Cold Blade hand one to his sister that he was carry just for her to use. Once every make sure that their new weapons are in working order and place them of power packs. It was Dicers who ask the question that come to everyone mind as so as they saw the unbroking weapons laying their.

Dicer (looking at everyone): why did he just smash them when he took them out to start the trial temple?

Lex (looking at him and in clam voice): Because Dicer he doesn't want "weak" prey.

Needless to everyone got the full mending of that statemate but each them made vow to themselves that he and his kind will pay for that statemate before Cold Blade and Lex told the others to make sure that they set the timers of their waist com to go off every ten minutes as well kept their mask on until they are back at the Shadow Rose were they can make themselves with the "mark of blooded one" safety.

Lex (looking at each one of them and in kind voice): we don't want happing to Scar happen to any of you.

Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers and Dark Fire give Cold Blade and Lex small head bow before doing as their pack leaders as before all of them slow and careful exit the room and making their way into the lowler levers of dark and shadow full hallways of the temple.

But as soon all their timers started to go off the ceilings, walls and floods all started to change the hallway that the team of hunters were in and when it was finish Lex found her alone in room with six hard meat drones that turn the cones heads toward her.

(Ricoice Note) I made mistake in chapter eight on the number of kills for the dagger of Cetanu which was nine but I meant it to be six but I will change that as soon as I can sorry about that. Now that's out of the way back to the story.

At first Lex was about to blast the hell out of them with her plasma caster but she stop herself when she realize this a chance to see that she truly have the skills of her rank and also add anther honor weapon to her wall.

So with thought to her plasma caster to reture back to it's holder before doing quick look around the room that trap in is no bigger the half a basketball court and the ceiling about the same height so which mean for her of living though this fight is to kept her back to a wall and move and kill fast which she is planing on doing but before relisting her wrist blades and pull out ceremonial dagger form her right boot before saying.

Lex (looking at them and in her fighting stand): Ok, which one of you sons of a bitch want to be first?

As if knew what Lex was saying to him and his hive brothers the one nearness to her jump at her with all the furry of his kind only to get a bladed upper cut for Lex killing him in blow.

Lex: well that's one down.

She thought as she quickly pull out her blades form his nack and skull and let the before his acid blood could damge her wasit blades and hand but as soon the black body fell to the stone floor the rest of his brothers change at her.

Meanwhile Cold Blade and the other quickie made their way to were the door to were Lex room will be opening up when the temple change agin but they got their the welcome to sounds of hard meat battle and death crys for a short time and then noting.

When it was time for the temple to change once agin and the door to the room was open Cold Blade was the frist one enter only to greeded to sight of six dead hard meat drones and his mate/wife who had just finish tireing all her kills together before turn around to face her mate that she can tell was very happy to she is alright the same for the other even dor they all have their mask on she tell that saded that they miss to get the chance to become blooded.

Lex (looking at them with a smile under her mask): don't worry my young friends I have no dought in mind that will be more hard meats to go around and then some.

Everyone couldn't agreed more with her words before they quicky and quitele to bottom part of the temple were the queen cell is but not to surpiering their no queen or her brood but Lex, Cold Blade and the others didn't have to worry about the temple changing on them down here but doesn't mined they are any less danger.

So with not much of a choice the group made their way deeper into the temple lower level they hope to find the nest and their prey. Their wish was anwers as soon they enter the next room they were surrenders a full three hundred sixty degree by hard meat drone and warrors lead by the Alienped who standing at the back of this hord but Lex and Cold Blade and their team were as quick as lighting putting the backs to each other with their weapons at the ready to end any or all.

Dicer (arming his plasma caster at a hard meat drone head): so what we do know Blooded one?

Lex (with MP5 machine guns in each hand and her plasma caster at the ready): we kill them all!

No sooner as Lex finish those words all of them open fire into the wall of drone and warrors who crys of rage and death mix with the sounds of plasma caster, machine guns fire forming deadly music of death and blattle. Lex, Cold Blade and the others don't know how long the blatter want on or how many each of them kill but it seem it was more then eought for their so call leader to try to make a sick exit but Dark Fire saw him and warn her brother and sisther in law.

Dark Fire (taking out anther drone with her plasma caster before killing anther one with her ceremonial dagger ):that coward is trying to run go! Kill him and average Scar we can hander the rest of them.

Cold Blade and Lex didn't have to told twice firing their weapons together to make a hole into now smaller wall of hard meat just before making mad dash out the same door were their pery had just when out of just in time to see him making a run to the upper levels. Lex and Cold Blade knew that the beast might be leading them into anther trap but that a chance they are willing to take inorder to put a end to this hunt.

But it's seems that the fears of walking into anther trap hold turth just as the about to caught up with just few feet at the temple door when two Guardians hard meats fall form the black stone ceiling before and changing at Lex and Cold Blade with surpiseing speed that they couldn't get a good target lock on them.

As both of their plasma shot miss their targets Lex and Cold Blade knew that there are in Big toubler if they come up with something quick and that something was as cazy move that both of them couldn't belive work that move was them run at them as fast the can just as they were inchs form they jump over them at the same time Lex pull out her desert eagle and unload whole clip into her Guardian head kill it while Cold Blade pull one of his shuriken to his Guardian kill his as well before leanding on their feet but they didn't have time to cerbuity their win.

Because once their prey had once again had choose to run instand of fighting which to Lex and Cold Blade is really started to piss them off as they give chase again.

Meanwhile Dark Fire, Stone Hand, Sharp Eyes and Dicers had just finish off the last of the hard meats and now claming their first kills before rejoing Lex and Cold Blade they was about to go when Sharp Eyes stop his older brother form taking off his mask saving him form almost disobeying Lex and Cold Blade orders.

It's then that Dark Fire come up ideal and said.

Dark Fire (looking at all of them): mark yours mask not your skin we will have the elders do that honor.

Stone Hand and Sharp eyes took turn making each other masks as for Dicers he respectful ask Dark Fire would she mark his mask.

Dark Fire (with big smile under her mask face and in her sexy voice): it will be a honor and pleaser Dicers.

Bending down on one kneen before look up at Dark Fire who pull off one the dead hard meat fingers before slowly putting the mark of the blooded on his mask once she told him stand and ask him to mark her mask as well before kneeing down both knees.

Dicers (with big smile under his mask face and in happy tone voice): it will be a honor and pleaser my Dark Fire.

As they finsh Dark Fire order everyone to garb their new trophy and hurry out the door in hopes to catch up with Lex and Cold Blade to see they ever catch their prey and kill it.

Lex and Cold Blade are sill in hot pursuit of their prey as run form the trial temple into jangle who can't help to think to led them into yet anther trap but they come this far and they are not going to stop until he is dead or them. But when they reach another clearing they was shock to see that the beast is standing in the midder as if he decide to face them but this could just anther trap. So as careful as they could they walk up to their prey with their plasma casters arm and ready to blow him to hell and as well finale get to see their prey up close and personal towering nine foot and eight inches tall must likely weighing three hundred and sixty seven pounds his skin is black as night along with the body that is prefect mix of both of the yautja and hard meat hands tip with seven inch long deadly claws as well with a eight foot long bladed tail that is just as deadly and dangers as a queen that when he did something that didn't expct that something his wave his long boned index finger back and forth before pointing at his right shoulder before crossing his long and big arms over each other as he waiting for them to decide on accepting his request.

Lex (looking at Cold Blade before look back at him): I think he want us to take off our plasma casters off but their no way in the hell that we are going do that are we Cold Blade?

Cold Blade look at his mate before looking back at the beast that had set them up for two ambush and now it's asking for them remove one their most powerful weapon knowing some how that have do so in order to kept their honor but that doesn't mine what have to any less easier.

Cold Blade (taking off his dual plasma caster form his power pack before pulling out his combat-stuck and getting in his fighting stands): our honor demans we do so beautiful one.

Lex (doing the same with hers as well pulling out her combi-stick): I hoping you wouldn't said something like that Cold Blade oh well.

Once they did the beast slowy uncross his arms and getting in his own fighting stances with his bladed tail slowly swing left to right as the three fighters stand off form each other ready for anyone of them to make the first.

The ones who did made that first move was the team of Lex and Cold Blade who move as one not as two both defending as one when the beast relishing hellish attack of his claws and bladed tail on them but thanks to their team work it fail sending their prey rearing backwards. Now seeing that they have their prey on the ropes they push on their attack as one making him did the wrong move that left him open for both Lex and Cold Blade stabbing their combi-sticks deep into his black chest and though it's heart before each of them gearb a hold of his one his manblers and the others side of it's cone head before pulling with every last bit of their yautja strength and hated for this monster taking it off in one gory move.

With the beast dead head in their hands they reaise it hight into the sky before let out roars of victory over the dark jungle. But their celebratory was cut shot by a very diffent roar that Lex and Cold Blade had both heard before but wishing that wasn't they hadn't. As they slowly turn around sill holder the head of the beast only to see that the young queen have come to help her mate only to be too late as well his killers holding the head of her mate as their trophy but that change very quick as she move in swaing her right arm in one long swoop forcing them to dorp their prize on ground and them as well in order not be hit by the in rage queen but soon as Cold Blade and Lex stood up she swing again but this time Cold Blade jump up while Lex hit the deck again but only to watch in horror that the young queen rise her arm higher in middle swing hitting Cold Blade high into air and tower the deep jungle like a baseball being hit for a homerun.

Lex (looking at him frying away and screaming): Cold Blade!

The Queen had a sick and happy smile on her face as watch one of her mate killers frying into the sky and jungle hoping that he will dead painful dearth but she didn't forget about the other and try garb her but she roll out the way before quickly pull out her two metal stars throwing them at the her in nack but Lex didn't stand and watch her small victory.

She was run as fast as she could picking up her plasma caster in mid run before headed deep into the jungle knowing that staying in that clearing to fight the queen is crazy and very stupid as well she need time to her weapon back as on her power pack and also reloading her MP5s and desert eagle but she knows the only thing they could do to the Queen is piss her off even more then she already is so that leave her with her wrist blades, glaive and her last shuriken.

With clashing of trees hiting the jungle floor is the sight to Lex that queen had follow her in and now tearing the jungle apart looking for her but Lex quick jump high in the trees make sure see stay of the queen line of sight while she come up her plan to kill her. Once she came up with her pland of attack Lex careful made to the back of the queen head who is sill looking for on the jungle floor but aware that she was high above her getting to ready to stlike.

Lex (looking down at her) : oh don't worry bitch you will be joing your mate soon in hell!

She thought just before pull her glaive and extaning the blades as droping down onto the shoulders lifing her glaive high into mid-day ski before bring it down into the queen nack which cause her prey let out thunderis roar of pain and rage as she try to buck her off like cowboy raiding a mad bull at a rodeo and when that didn't work she try to pull her off but made sure that she was at the sweet spot were she can't reach her but acid blood is eating through her glaive that she have been using as hander.

So Lex jump down form the queen who is sill trying to pull Lex glavie form her the back of her nack but stop when she notces Lex letting out a roar of rage she change at head on. Not noticing that Lex is changing up her plasma caster to max and when she was just few feet form her. She fire the masses shot of hot plasma right at her neck that took it off.

As the headless body of queen fell on side and her head other both with a thunderis clash to the jungle floor just as Lex let out yet anther victoris roar but it was bitter sweet because her mate was not their see it she thought as she took off her now fry plasma caster before hearing something slow moving behind her spining around with her arm blades out and as her last shuriken in the other hand ready cut down anything that foolish euoght to think she easy prey right now only to see it was a yet anther hard meat but of someone else.

(unclenched her fist and dropping her shuriken before spiriting toward him yelling): Cold Blade!

There is no words that she can think or say that will be right the amount of joy that full Lex heart as warp her arms around his hips to make sure that she what is seeing is real.

Cold Blade (holding her as well and looking at the dead queen head): you are going to need a bigger trophy wall beautiful one.

Lex (looking up at him with a small laught): yes, I may need of one but tell how did you?

Cold Blade (looking down at her as he run his hand though her hair): live. I landed in a small but supries deep water hole not to far form were the queen hit me but I didn't escaper with out a halm though.

Lex ( head to right side as took a step back to look him over): why would you say that Cold Blade? Form what I can see that your fine other then beening a little wet that is.

Cold Blade decide it's best to show his mate then tell so with her watching he slowly and carefor took off his chest plate. As it fell to the jungle ground Lex a gasp at the sight of her very damge ribs chage.

Lex told him to sit down and pull out his med kit form his power pack and quicky tendly to his wornds. As Lex tend to her mate Dark Fire and the other had made out the trial temple and was about to follow Lex and Cold Blade by the location becons in their mask and power pack but stop dead in tracks when a small gourp of hard meats led by a very big warrior come out form the jungle holding either unconsciousness bodies of humans most likely they had found one of the village elder people hiding spots or a flash kill but drop them as soon they saw them.

Stone Hand (looking down at them as he ready is his Plasma Caster): the Gods are good to us more kills.

Dark Fire (doing the same): we don't time for this kill them fast.

Sharp eyes and Dicers: yes, blooded one.

And that what the did showing no mecy on them but midway though the fight battle crys form beind hard meats caught their attending as well of Dark Fire, Stone Hand, Sharp eyes and Dicers who just as surprising as their enemy to see human warroirs both men and women using bows and spears to make their kills forceing the hard meats to fight on both the forth and back which didn't take long for them fall.

Once that was done with Dark Fire and the others quickly made their way to Lex and Cold Blade only to be happy to see that they are alive and well and shock beyond words on seeing that Lex had kill anther queen the said can be said when all the warriors that help Dark Fire and the other saw it before leader of the gourp ask Lex and the others do need help getting her new trophy back to the trial temple.

Needless to say she agreed to the help not before Lex and Cold Blade ask Dark Fire and the other what had while they was chasing their prey about thirtd minters later they made their just as Gray Knife and Black Heart and her aids and other high ranking members of the clan come down the walking down form their Man'daca ship (Migratory ship) ramp but all stop in mid step as they watch Dark Fire, Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers along with thirty Oomans both male and female pulling the head of a hard meat queen by very thick vines with Lex and Cold Blade setting top it like two children enjoying their first a hay ride on the farm with Cold Blade holding the head of their kill on his lap.

As Lex and Cold Blade both jump down form the queen head as they did the others as join them as they all walk over to were their elders is standing before all of them kneeing down at the same time Cold Blade rise the head of the beast above head and said.

Cold Blade (hold the beast head high above his): I yield this trophy to you my elders.

Gray Knife and Black Heart both took in the sight of their childen, darther in law as well three new young bloods along with thirty Oomans both male and female kneeding with the head of young queen in the background. It was Black Heart who took the beast form her son hands before Gray Knife order everyone to their feet.

Once everyone did Cold Blade and Lex was the ones who told them all that had happen snice landing that morning once their epic story was done Gray Knife, Black Heart and all the others wouldn't believe that story but the poof of their deeds is their hands as well just a feet form them.

So Gray Knife begain the task of marking Dark Fire, Stone Hand, Sharp eyes, Dicers along with thirty Oomans who also earned the right to have the mark of the blooded while Black Heart order a hunting party made of her aids as well the clan most deadliest warriors to fine the other queen before having Lex queen head put on the clan ship as for Cold Blade and Lex they watch the whole thing to begain and end before making their way back into the trial temple to get the skulls of the two Guardian that they as well get Lex six whole hard meats but this time they didn't have to worry about the temple changing on them because that was turn off as soon as Gray Knife and the others landed. It took time no time find and get the heads of the Guardians before moving on to get her full bodies which Cold Blade couldn't help to as his mate that come to his mind as soon he walking in the room for the second time.

Cold Blade (picking up three of the dead hard meats before looking at her):

beautiful one why didn't you kill those hard meats with her Plasma Caster instand going hand to hand with them?

Lex (doing the same before look at him and slowly walking out the room): I had my resends, my husband.

Cold Blade (following her): and they are?

Lex (looking at him for a time before walking to the temple exit): one is I wanted to test myself to see I have the skill of my rank, two our friend Hammer Fist told me that he need at lest two whole hard meats to make my ritual armor and fanily I wasn't about to past up a good oppeturn to get anther honor weapon to go on my wall.

Cold Blade just let out small laught before let his right hand run though his mate dead locks as he look deep into her mask eyes before saying.

Cold Blade (looking into her mask eyes): honorable resends to have beautiful one.

Lex (looking at him smiling under her mask): yes very honorable said the smooth talker yautja warrior.

Cold Blade just laught at his mate comment before resume their walk to the exit once outside they was shock to see that hunting party had return with their paize in thick and heavy chains being put back into her cell both of them hope this time for kepts this time.

As Lex and Cold Blad reach the last step one Dark Fire and the others stood tall with all their trophies in net bags and their to hearts full with pride before Dark Fire said.

Dark Fire (bowing her to head them): mother and father have told me that the village elder and the leader of the blooded Ooman ask to speak with you before we leave Alexis and don't worry about your body trophies we will help Cold Blade with them.

Lex (putting down her three whole hard meats on the ground before looking at them all): alright then and thank you oh by the way congratulations to all of you and I have some free advices to all of you my young friends and that advice is don't let your new rank go to your heads like Striker and his young bloods because if you do the honor and gory you all have win today by your own skill and the blood that was spill will be fore noting as well you will disrespect to all have die or will die doing the same.

Lex let her words fry into the minds of young yautja friends before making her to the village were she happy to see that the village elder is the same elder man that she and other help earler that day before he introduce her the leader of blooded Ooman and all of his brave and young men and women who ask her about on how did she got blooded which Lex told her story and at the end she said her goodbyes.

Once back on the Shadow Rose and now heading back to the clan ship Lex was happy beyone words that all of hard work had pay off in the form of the beast death as well her first Guardian hard meat kill and anther queen kill this time with the trophy to show for it and now knowing that now she isn't the only blooded human in the galaxies which put a big smile on her mask face. But when she saw they was about to land in the clan ship form her seat next to Cold Blade that quickie change form that happy thought form just wanted to just dropping off the six whole hard meats to Hammer Fist work shop before going to her and Cold Blade room to clean her new trophies a good long hot bath with Cold Blade and bed.

But all of that was put on hold because as soon they walk down form the Shadow Rose one of Black Heart aids told Lex that she need to come with her to the clan hall which she did without question thinking that Gray Knife and Black Heart just wanted her to show the clan the video of the hunt like she did before but when she enter the clan hall she was welcome to a far deiffect then the others standing side by side was all the clan warrior rank yautja in their gold and black clan armor in two rolls one to her right and the other her left leading all the way to their elders who also in their clan as well.

When she reach the small steps that lead to their chairs she got down on one keen with her head down.

Lex: you call for me my elders.

Gray Knife (looking down at her): yes, we have Alexis we have something to show you but first rise my child.

Lex did as she told before hearing the floor of the clan hall open and slowing rise something up but unlike before it wasn't a giant viewing orn but her now clean queen skull. Needless to say that was shock on how fast they clean it but that was the first of many supries.

Black Heart (looking at her with small smile on her unmask face): Aliex woods of the black claw clan today you have brought this clan and my family great honor today and show all of us you have the skill far beyone the rank you hold now and for that skill we decided to give you the rank of warrlor for this clan.

No soon as had Black Heart said this all of her aids Cold Blade and Hammer Fist who are wearing their clan armor as well carry all of her new weapons and armor walk form the clan hall door to were she is standing before making a half circle.

Lex was shock beyone words on seeing all of her new weapons as well armor but turn around agin to face her her clan elders only to see that both Gray Knife and Black Heart had made their way down form their chairs and now standing side by side just before Gray Knife said to her.

Gray Knife (looking at her):but with this new rank comes with the vow of warrior.

Lex (looking at them with her head turn to one side): what is the vow of the warrior?

Black Heart: vow of the warror is a honor vow that a new warror or hunterss as we call female warroir to fight in times of war as well to protect each other as well Alexis are you willing to take such a vow?

Lex: yes, my elders.

With that said both Gray Knife and Black Heart gave the o.k. to begain which was to have Black Heart slowy take off all of Lex weapons befoe doing all her armor as well her booth sanyders and wire mash leaving her wearing her brown tub top and black underware before stated with the black and gold skintight bodysute that work like her wire mass but with more protecting for the wear before putting on her new armor and weapons and when everything was done Lex took the vow of the warrior.

Lex (looking at all the warriors in the hall in strong voice): I, Alexis woods of the black clan make this vow to all that is here I will give my life to the clan in times and to any of my bothers and sisters in arms this vow on my life, honor and blood.

But as soon she finish the hall was fell with the cheers of all who are their as for Lex she just smlie under her new mask Now knowing she is turely is a yautja in their eyes.
