Chapter 14:End of the Xenomorphs

As fast as he could, the Mala'kak kept on running away from the horde of Xenomorphs and managed to find the bridge of the ship. The Mala'kak blocked the entrance with everything he could find, such as large scrap metal and massive debris. After fully blocking the entrance to the bridge, the Mala'kak began to turn his attention to the ship's controls and started to type in the coordinates of a location. Using an advanced flute, the Mala'kak summoned the map of the Milky Way universe and zoomed in on a specific planet. As he was typing in the coordinates, a pale tentacle started to move its way through an opening in the entrance. Afterwards, more tentacles started to close in on the unsuspecting Mala'kak and began to wrap him up. The Mala'kak turned towards the strange creature and resisted its binding, but it was too weak to fight against it. The tentacle creature then rammed its way through the entrance and revealed a large mouth with sharp teeth. The creature continues to wrap itself around the Mala'kak and begins to subdue him until the Mala'kak pushed one final button on the console. After being subdued by the large tentacle creature, it was revealed that the ship's destination is Earth.

Halkrath groaned as he felt pain all over his body. He opened his eyes to see the corpse of a facehugger next to him and his mask on the floor. As Halkrath put his mask on, he looked around his surroundings to search for Mr. Black until he found him being impaled by a piece of sharp metal scrap. Seeing that Mr. Black is not awake yet, Halkrath decided to remove the piece of metal himself. He slowly reached out to it and carefully pulled it out of Mr. Black's body. As Halkrath removed the piece of scrap metal, bright green blood started to flow rapidly from the wound. Afterwards, Mr. Black slowly woke up as he felt a slight pain from his wound.

Looking angrily at Halkrath, Mr. Black said to him, "What did you do to me ?! How dare you try to hurt me while I was vulnerable !"

Showing him the piece of scrap metal, Halkrath threw it away and said to him, "We are no longer enemies, did you forget ? After this is all over, it's just you and me in a duel."

Mr. Black looked at their surroundings and said, "It seems that we have strayed from our current path. We may be in the lower levels of the ship now."

"We need to hurry up and find a way to destroy this ship. That Mala'kak we met earlier would try to do anything to fulfill his people's desires," Halkrath said.

Mr. Black nodded and they both continued their mission to eliminate the Xenomorphs. However, Halkrath and Mr. Black started to hear the sounds of multiple Xenomorphs. Switching their vision to easily view Xenomorphs, the two Yautjas could see that there were legions of Xenomorphs and many mutated ones screeching or roaring at their adversaries. The massive Xenomorph army was enough to frighten the two Yautjas as they quickly ran away. The Xenomorph army began to chase after their enemies and overcame any obstacle that blocked their path. Halkrath and Mr. Black ran as fast as possible, but it seemed impossible to outrun the legion of Xenomorphs. However, the two Yautjas managed to unintentionally find their way back to the Xenomorph hive. They turned around to see the Xenomorphs catching up to them and decided to just keep on running.

Mr. Black shouted, "NEVER IN MY LIFE, HAVE I EVER BEEN THE PREY OF MY PREY !"

Halkrath responded, "How ironic that things have gone the other way around."

After constantly running from the Xenomorphs, the two Yautjas reached the throne room of the Queen. The only unusual thing was that the Queen was not in the room, laying her eggs. Even the Xenomorphs that were chasing them had suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on ?" Halkrath asked.

Before Mr. Black could say anything, a loud hiss filled the room and caused the Yautjas to turn around. They could see a Xenomorph Queen that was larger than any other Queens that the Yautjas have faced. It had large dreadlocks that resembled a Yautja's dreadlocks, but it was longer. Even the mandibles on its face had an unusual feature since they can fold themselves into a mouthguard. The Xenomorph Queen was also more muscular and seemed to be more menacing than an original Queen. Behind the Queen were Predaliens, who then moved in front to defend her. The Xenomorphs that chased them earllier had returned and spectated the two Yautjas. Halkrath and Mr. Black were confused about what was happening, but they decided to stand their ground and prepared for a fight. As the Xenomorph Queen roared at her workers to attack the Yautjas, the ship began to rock back and forth violently. Suddenly, an explosion occurred behind the Xenomorph army and killed most of them. The explosion not only caused the death of the Xenomorphs, but it created a large hole that led to the outside of the ship. Everything began to get sucked into space, but the two Yautjas grab a hold of a sturdy metal bar that was sticking out after the explosion occurred. The Queen, however, was clawing at the floor and tried to grab something to prevent her from flying into space. All of the other Xenomorphs were unlucky as they were all flying towards the hole and became stuck in space.

Halkrath shouted, "WHAT'S GOING ON ?! WHERE DID THAT EXPLOSION COME FROM ?!"

Mr. Black looked at the hole and replied, "THAT MALA'KAK IS DRIVING THIS WRETCHED SHIP ! LOOK !"

The two Yautjas both looked at the hole and saw multiple asteroids flying past the ship. After the asteroids were gone, Halkrath and Mr. Black could see Earth in the distance. As the ship began to fly closer to Earth, Halkrath knew that he and Mr. Black must do everything they can to stop the Xenomorph threat.

In the lair, the Turtles were doing their usual things with the Mighty Mutanimals and the Hamato Clan. It had been a couple of hours since Halkrath had left and it caused everyone to become worried. Master Splinter, however, knew that he would be fine and had no doubts about Mr. Black. As Leonardo, Casey, Miwa, and April watched television, they turned to the news channel to see something unbelievable. The news reporter was talking about a ship falling from the sky, which caused everyone to turned their attention to the news. As they watched and listened, the news reporter showed the ship falling towards New York City. Everyone in the city began to evacuate as quickly as possible before the ship had crushed them all. Luckily, everyone had escaped and the ship violently crashed on the city and destroyed part of it. After the ship had crashed, the military began to investigate the crash site and decided to set up a wall to prevent anything from entering or exiting. This had everybody shocked and made them questioned about Halkrath being alive.

Miwa said to them, "It's pretty much up to us to see if Halkrath is still alive. If he is, then we have to make sure that the military do not capture him."

Leonardo added, "Yeah, I think that it's about time that we repay him for everything that he's done for us."

Everyone agreed to the idea, but Master Splinter said to them, "It is too dangerous since the military is around. I can not risk any of you being captured and experimented on."

April responded, "But Halkrath is our friend, he would do the same for us. Even if he would be captured by the military. "

Donatello also added, "Plus, we have invisibility devices that Halkrath and I made. There's no way that we'll be detected. "

Master Splinter sighed and said, "Very well, but be very careful. Who knows what the military will do to you all."

Everyone nodded and left the lair. Master Splinter watched them leave, but he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Back at the crashed ship, military soldiers began to enter the ship and started investigating inside it. The inside was dark and hard to see, but they continued to investigate. As they traveled inside, soldiers on the outside were unaware of the Turtles, the Mighty Mutanimals, and the Hamato Clan sneaking past their defenses. The three groups entered the ship and started to find their missing friend. Back with the soldiers, they came across the Xenomorph hive and discovered the corpses of the Mala'kak. As they were distracted, one soldier turned his attention to another room and left his allies behind.

As the soldier entered the room, he could see a trail of blood coming from the ship's bridge. The soldier got closer to the room and saw the corpse of two beings. One was a Mala'kak, who looked as if something came out of him, and a tentacle creature. When he went to them, a dark being snuck up behind him and grabbed his head tightly. The creature resembled a Xenomorph and had a head similar to one, but it ended at a point. Instead of a second mouth, it had another set of teeth that stretches out like a goblin shark. The teeth were not even sharp, but they did look more like abnormal human teeth. The creature did not have a tail, but it did have similar skin and body like a Xenomorph. The creature opened its mouth widely and began to take a bite of the soldier's head. The soldier cried for help, but it was already too late since the creature bit half of his head off. Blood and brain bits fell from the creature's mouth and the dead soldier was pulled away before more soldiers came to see what had happen.

The Turtles and the others made their way through the broken hallways of the ship until loud screaming and gunfires starled them. The noise went away after a couple of seconds and a loud screech filled the hallways. The three groups continued down the hallway until they reached a room filled with blood and organs from the soldiers. About seven of them were dead and the rest of the soldiers were shot. The scene was too gory for the groups since they have never seen this much gore in their lives. However, it did not stop them from searching for Halkrath. Suddenly, they heard something run behind them and they looked to see a small trail of blood. Michelangelo and Pigeon Pete were the only ones who became afraid, but the others kept their guard up. Afterwards, they kept on walking through the hallways until the Xenomorph-like creature began to follow them.

Meanwhile, Halkrath and Mr. Black became stuck under a heavy and massive piece of rubble. The Xenomorph Queen was also stuck under a massive rubble, but she kept trying to reach for the Yautjas. They were about a couple of feet away from each other and the Queen began to annoy them with its hissing and screeching.

Halkrath said to Mr. Black, "I wish we would have all died from the crash."

"Believe me, you are not the only one," Mr. Black responded.

The Xenomorph Queen kept on hissing and screeching while the two Yautjas just laid down on the ground. The loud noise began to attract the Turtles and the others, especially the Xenomorph-like creature. As the groups followed the noise, the two Yautjas could hear footsteps coming their way. They turned to see the Turtles and the others running into the same room, but the Xenomorph Queen began to swipe its claws at the incoming groups. Luckily, everyone dodged her attacks and went to help the Yautjas. Leatherhead and Dr. Tyler Rockwell lifted the debris off of them, while the two Yautjas escaped their imprisonment. Miwa, April, and Casey went to hug their Yautja friend, but Mr. Black was being glared at by the others.

Halkrath asked them, "Why are you all here ? It is too dangerous to be in this ship."

Miwa answered, "We wanted to know if you were still alive after the ship had crashed."

"We were really worried about you," April added.

Casey also said, "Yeah, it would be too sad to see you leave us."

Leonardo interrupted them and said, "Sorry to ruin this moment, but what do we do with that thing ?"

Leonardo pointed at the Xenomorph Queen, who was still hissing and screeching at them. Mr. Black walked up to it with his wrist blade drawn and attacked it violently.

After ripping its head off, Mr. Black said, "This wretched abomination has annoyed me for far too long. I shall just claim its head as my trophy."

Halkrath laughed and said, "It seems that the prey has become the predator."

Mr. Black responded, "Silence, I don't want to feel weak after what had happened to us."

"What did happen to you guys when..." Donatello asked before Mr. Black held a blade to his throat.

"Don't you dare ask about it, abomination !" Mr. Black said as he stared menacingly at him.

Donatello slowly pushed the blade away from his throat and said, "Okay, I get it. You didn't have to do that."

Mr. Black withdrew his blade and carried the severed Queen head. Everyone else began to follow him and they all left the ship together. However, the Xenomorph-like creature snuck up on Mr. Black and pulled him away. The Yautja struggled to free himself, but the creature held him tightly and took him away from the others. Halkrath followed them, along with the others, and drew his blades. They all followed Mr. Black and the creature to the throne and saw that there were still more Xenomorphs. The creature threw Mr. Black in the center of the room and let its brethren attack him.

As Halkrath tried to run to him, Raphael shouted, "The guy's gone, we have to leave this place for now."

Just as Halkrath began to leave, they all heard Mr. Black roaring at the top of his lungs. They could see the Xenomorphs being punched away, while Mr. Black slowly freed himself from their grasp. One by one, he sliced each Xenomorph with his blades and fired plasma bolts at the ones that could fly. Halkrath could see that Mr. Black was filled with rage and knew that he wouldn't submit to his prey.

As Mr. Black killed the last Xenomorph, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "I AM THE ULTIMATE HUNTER !"

He then turned his attention to the Xenomorph-like creature, who felt no fear from what had happened. They both charged at each other and fought to the death. The creature launched its second set of teeth at him, but it was caught and sliced off by Mr. Black. Screeching in pain, the creature backed away and began to swipe its claws at Mr. Black. However, the determined Yautja swiped his blades and cut the creature's arms. Knowing that it might not win, the creature fled the battle. Mr. Black launched a net at the creature, which trapped it on a wall, and carried it to his trophy. Everyone watched as Mr. Black took out a ceremonial knife and began to cut the creature's head off, making a new trophy. With two special trophies, Mr. Black felt victorious of defeating two Xenomorph abominations.

Mr. Black turned to Halkrath and said, "I was looking forward to our duel, but killing prey like this is much more exciting than I thought."

Halkrath said to him, "So our duel is no more ?"

"No, but for the first time, I feel fatigued," Mr. Black said as he carried his trophies away.

Before he went away, Halkrath said to Mr. Black, "We are the only ones left of our kind, but I don't think that it's wise to fight each other to our deaths. We should try to prevent our extinction instead of making it worse."

Mr. Black turned to him and responded, "Seeing that you care so much for these humans, I really do not care about your desires. However, You will do anything to protect them."

Mr. Black turned away and added, "One day, I shall return. For now, I will train until my bones breaks and my body aches. Farewell...brethren."

Afterwards, Mr. Black left the ship and the others followed before he activated his cloak and left swiftly. Halkrath stared at the sky and thought about his fight with Mr. Black in the future. He then shook his head and returned to the lair with everyone else. However, Halkrath felt a slight pain in his chest and placed his hand over it.

Miwa asked, "Halkrath, are you alright ?"

Halkrath replied, "I am fine, just a little pain in my chest."

They all kept on walking until a tranquilizer dart landed on each of their necks, except for Halkrath. He looked to see Weyland Yutani Androids gathering around him and the others. Then, Halkrath saw Karl Bishop Weyland walking in front of him with his hands behind his back.

Halkrath shouted, "How is this possible ? Unless..."

"Unless there are more like me" Weyland finished.

Halkrath was about to fire his Plasma Gun at him until his chest started to hurt him even more. He roared in pain and fell to the ground. As his chest began to hurt again, Halkrath began to grow unconscious. Just before he closed his eyes, Halkrath could see a glimpse of Weyland ordering his Androids to do something. Then, everything became dark.

Meanwhile, a man, who wore a black suit and tie with black glasses, watched the Androids carry Halkrath and the others away. He followed them to the destroyed headquarters of the Weyland Yutani Corporation, which is currently being rebuilt, and saw the captives being taken inside it. The man opened up a holographic map and stared at a familiar figure jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

Afterwards, the man followed the location of the figure and said, "I must hurry before Weyland tries to bring the Kraang back to Earth."
