Draz'nar and the others were on edge as gunshots were fired and screams filled the air.

Kae'She walked up next to Draz'nar, her eyes glued to the wall. "What…What do you think is happening out there Draz'nar?" she whispered to him.

He glanced at the female next to him, "I have no clue…" he whispered back.

Kawn-ra growled, "That's just damn peachy!" He sat back down on the ground, a fierce scowl imprinted on his face. Cetanu chuckled darkly at his friend's attitude but was drawn back to the sound of gunshots and screams.

Suddenly, something broke through the glass and grazed Draz'nar's arm. He winced, and then his eyes went wide with understanding. "EVERYONE GET DOWN NOW!" As soon as the words left his mouth, bullets started breaking through the glass wall that was their cage.

When it was over with, everyone looked up to see a scared scientist with platinum blonde hair holding their armor and weapons. "T-take them! Quick! Before she sees!" He cried.

Merit and Kwan-ra looked to Cetanu who looked to Draz'nar. With out a second thought Draz'nar marched up to the human and grabbed the armor and weapons. The human ran away screaming in terror.

Draz'nar tossed the other males their stuff. "Come on…we should be prepared for what ever is out there."

Liz looked around for one of her experiments. She spotted it not to far off.

Leaving the safety of her desk she walked over and pressed the activation button. "This'll show that little freak…"

XxX

Scar landed the ship next to Draz'nar's and looked back at the two females. "Alright…we're here so now what?"

Lex was messing with something and She'bnari didn't answer. Suddenly there was a beep and everything went quiet as She'bnari flipped open her communicator. "Yes?"

"Dammit that better be you She'bnari!" Draz'nar's voice cracked over the link. Lex and Scar looked at each other in relief and She'bnari fell back into her seat.

"Yeah this is me…where the hell have you been!" She practically screamed at him out of worry and relief.

"Never mind that! I'm sending you our position and dammit get here fast!" the link was cut and everyone just sat there silent for a long time.

Scar growled and fired up the ship again. "Well let's go get him shall we?"

Cetanu looked over at Mea as he put his wrist gauntlets on. Silently he pulled out one of his daggers and tapped her on the shoulder. Mea turned to him and he pressed the handle into her hand. "For you."

Mea looked at the beautiful dagger with wide eyes. She looked up at Cetanu her face full of appreciation.

Merit looked sheepishly at Kae'She. She was stretching and getting ready to fight. Knowing that he would probably get slapped for this later…he walked up behind her. "Kae'She…"

The female turned around just in time to be kissed by Merit.

He pulled away slowly and waited to be slapped or punched. But neither of those things happened. He opened one eye to see Kae'She staring up at him in shock. "Did…did you just…?"

Merit nodded his head, part of him was still waiting to be slapped but instead he felt Kae'She's arms wrap around him in a hug. Merit's face flushed a bright green and a Yautja smile spread across his face.

Kawn-ra was watching and almost gagged but managed not to.

Kristen grinned, she thought that it was sweet of him to do that. She noted that Grid seemed very on edge. "What's wrong?" she hissed to him.

Grid's head snapped in her direction and he slowly relaxed. "There is a queen somewhere in this place…"

Kristen nodded, and took mental note to tell everyone about his warning.

Draz'nar looked at everyone. "Come on. We have to go now…I just contacted my friends…they should be here soon so we have to find Pred then get out of here."

Everyone but Kawn-ra nodded. He on the other hand snorted. "We should just leave that little freak here."

Draz'nar's amber eyes blazed and he smacked Kawn-ra hard across the face. "Never…ever call my mate a freak! Do you understand?" Kawn-ra glared at him but nodded his head. "Good now lets go."

Everyone walked out of the cage and into what looked like a battle field. Mea wanted to puke. Bodies were lying everywhere some drenched in blood and others so mangled you couldn't even tell if it was human once. "What on Earth could've done this?" She whispered while scooting closer to Cetanu.

Everyone got an answer though when a body was thrown across the room with a still firing gun.

Draz'nar felt a cold chill crawl up his spine as he and everyone else turned to see who or what had thrown the human. Draz'nar's heart fell to the pit of his stomach and he felt suddenly very sick at what he saw.

Pred stood there with a wicked grin spread across her face. She was in a position that reminded him a lot of a xenomorph. Her tan skin seemed to have a heavy tint of black in it now and her crimson eyes swept over them all like a wolf would its cornered prey.

Mea bit back a scream at the sight of her best friend. Kristen seemed to be doing the same as she clung to Grid. Kae'She was trembling in anger at the sight of what they had done to her new friend.

Kawn-ra's eyes hardened and he looked at Draz'nar. "Well what do you know…?" Draz'nar snarled at him then looked back at his mate. Her crimson eyes seemed to pierce through him like a cold blade. She wasn't the same…the oomans had done something to her.

(Preds POV)

I watched the newcomers with an eagerness that can not be explained. Their hearts all began to beat faster when they spotted me.

If at all possible my grin widened and the lust to kill passed over me in waves. A small shudder of excitement ran up my spine and I began to tremble.

Something else drew my attention away from them though. The wall next to me cracked. I slowly backed up as it broke completely and a Queen barged in hissing. My eyes narrowed into slits and I hissed dangerously back at her.

The Queen seemed to examine me but then looked at the beings that I had been examining not to long before. I snarled in rage. They were my kill! Not hers!

I hissed deeply in warning and she looked back at me. The Queen hissed angry that I had dared to oppose her. I didn't really give a shit now did I?

XxX

Draz'nar was in pain. Not physically but spiritually. He watched as his mate and the Queen hissed angrily at one another.

Cetanu noticed the pained looked that Draz'nar had then looked at everyone else. "Alright everyone…Kawn-ra and Merit, take the left side of the Queen." They both looked at him then each other. Nodding in agreement both of them got their weapons ready. "Kristin…you and Mea should go stand watch for Draz'nar's friends."

Kristin was about to protest but Grid nudged her in the direction of the door.

Cetanu then looked at Mea. She nodded slowly but walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek, "Be careful…ok?" Cetanu stared at her then nodded as well. "I will."

Mea smiled then dashed off after Kristin.

Cetanu then looked at Grid and Kae'She. "I want you two to take the right got it?" Kae'She nodded as Cetanu handed her a spear. "Alright everyone lets move!"

As they split into their groups and darted over to the Queen, Cetanu put a hand on Draz'nar's shoulder. "This is your battle my friend…be careful."

Draz'nar felt numb as Cetanu's hand left his shoulder. He knew what he had to do…he had to fight Pred. His love…his mate.

He took deep breaths and slowly took a few steps towards Pred. Her head snapped in his direction and a grin spread over her face. Draz'nar held his arms out. "Pred…please it's me!" He didn't want to fight her even though he knew that he was going to have to one way or another.

Pred slowly began to circle him. Her eyes glowing in blood lust and excitement.

XxX

The Queen hissed in rage as she was hit by two plasma blasts. Merit threw his spear into her leg and she screeched.

Kae'She noted that the Queen was distracted and looked at Grid. "Give me a boost!" He nodded. Kae'She put a foot into his hands and jumped while he threw at the same time. She twisted her body so that she landed on the Queen's back.

The Queen felt the added weight and hissed. She tried to reach back and grab Kae'She off of her but Kae'She kept firm on where she was.

Kwan-ra sliced the Queen's leg with his wrist blades. He jumped out the way as her hand sailed past him, Merit however was still to close. He felt claws sink into his shoulder and he flew half way across the room.

Merit landed hard on his back and gave out a pained growl. He hopped back up and ran as fast as he could back to his comrades.

Grid could hear the Queen calling him a traitor but ignored it to the best of his ability. He slid under her and cut her across with his claws. She roared and tried to stomp on him. Grid dodged to the right and managed to scratch her leg. The Queen snarled and kicked him hard. He flew back and landed on his side. Grid's skull pounded and he silently wondered if it was cracked or not.

Kae'She was still holding her own out on the Queen's back. Gripping one of the Queen's spikes she pulled herself to where she was sitting right behind the Queen's head.

She raised her spear and was about to bring it down when the Queen grabbed her leg and ripped Kae'She off of her back. Kae'She cried out as she dangled from the Queen's grip.

Merit roared and fired his plasma canon at the Queen's arm. The Xenomorph queen screeched as acidic blood rolled down her arm and she let go of Kae'She. Merit ran underneath her and caught her just in time.

He looked at her gently. "Are you ok?" Kae'She gave him a smile and nodded her head.

Cetanu looked at the two of them "HEY TALK LATER MORE ACTION!" Merit put Kae'She down and darted off to help Cetanu who the entire time was dealing with a swinging tail.

Kae'She growled. She needed to get back up there…She looked around for Grid and noticed him lying not to far away from her. She ran over to him. "Hey are you ok?" Grid didn't answer and Kae'She swore. He was out cold.

This wasn't looking good.

(Draz'nar POV)

I stared long into her once gray eyes.

They weren't the same…

My mandibles clenched tightly as we started to circle each other. Her red orbs once again seeming to cut through me like a blade.

They weren't the same…

I…I couldn't do it! I couldn't fight her!

Pred jumped at me and I felt her slam into me hard. I tumbled to the ground with her on top of me. There seemed to be an aura of disappointment around her that I had gone down so easily.

She wanted to fight…and yet I couldn't…not her.

Anguish ripped at my heart as I grabbed her arms. "Forgive me my love…" I roared and threw her off of me. She screeched as she flew into a pile of ruble that had once been a wall.

I slowly stood up and watched her. Pred's head snapped up and boy did she look pissed.

She hissed at me and stalked forward with the intent to kill.

I just stood there and opened my arms wide. "Please Pred! It's me!" I begged for some part of her to hear me.

Pred hissed and stopped in front of me. She raised her hand and was about to drive it through my chest.

I closed my eyes tightly and waited for it all to end, but it never came. I opened my eyes and saw Pred just standing there. Her hand only inches away from my left peck. Her red eyes seemed to gain some life and tears slowly fell down her cheeks. I looked down as I wondered why and saw the circle shaped scar.

Pred began to tremble, her red eyes tearing away from my chest to look up into my eyes. "Dr…Draz…nar?" Her eyes were still red but I saw her. Not the monster that she had become but her.

Not caring if she would stay this way or not, I pulled her into a tight hug and buried my face in her hair. I swear if Yautja could cry then I would be crying hysterically right about now.

She didn't hug me back but just leaned against me with wide frightened eyes. "Draz…'nar…" I felt her go limp against me and I looked at her. She had fainted.

Carefully, I picked her up bridle stile and looked towards the others.

My heart sank once again.

The battle wasn't going to well.

Liz left her lab room and went to the hanger bay that happened to have one of the alien ships in it.

Swiftly she opened the door and walked into the ship and sat down at the control panels. She was leaving this hell hole right now!

XxX

Cetanu ordered everyone to fall back. They all raced to where Kae'She was sitting with an unconscious Grid.

Kawn-ra growled, "Nothing we've been doing seems to work! We need help!" Cetanu looked at Merit who nodded in agreement with Kawn-ra.

Cetanu growled and watched as the Queen slowly stalked forward. She stopped and shrieked when two huge lasers burst through the ceiling and hit the floor around her. She looked up and hissed angrily only to have most of the ceiling fall on top of her.

Kae'She noticed Draz'nar running up to them with an unconscious Pred in his arms while everyone else was looking up at the ship that hovered over the broken ceiling. "Here comes Draz'nar!"

Suddenly Kristen's voice rang out. "A hoi there maties! If you want to live please hurry and get your asses over to the vehicle!"

Everyone raced up to meet the ship as it landed and opened up. Everyone raced on board and Scar closed it up again as they took off as fast as they could.
