I answered all your reviews until the end of the chapter :)
Hello, at the moment I don't have beta reader, so you will probably see some errors (I write in Spanish first and then I translate into English) I'll do my best to continue improving my English and show fewer errors in my writing :)
"Do you know what's going to happen now!? That little piece of shit is on the loose and many more people are going to die!" Hicks exclaimed, his voice sounded exalted and furious, just thinking about the face hugger, a shiver ran down his spine.
Lex looked around, trying to visualize the little vermin, but to her fortune -or her misfortune- she couldn't see it.
She feared that the last thing she could see in the world, were several slimy tentacles coming towards her.
Eloise chose to get away from the group and return through the elevator, it was clear that Carl wasn't interested in killing the facehugger, he wasn't even concerned about the safety of his employees and the best thing she could do was seek her own help.
"What the hell is that!?" Fred said when he saw a transparent capsule with the specimen of a xenomorph, it was on a metal table with wheels and a couple of men were pushing it.
"Well, it's enough. Everything is under control", Weyland said.
"This isn't in control! Just disable the damn security!" Lex yelled.
"I'm not going to do that," Weyland said.
Fred pointed his gun at Carl, under the surprised looks of Lex and Hicks.
"Just do what Lex says, we're not staying here with all these fucking monsters." Fred said, then he glanced at the xenomorph and looked back from him to Weyland.
Carl cursed his luck and smirked before ordering a man to disable security.
Fred looked very determined to blow his head off.
The sound of the alarm finally ceased and the off-white light from the lamps returned to normal. Lex, Fred, and Hicks left the lab and took the elevator. Then the three continued until they reached the fifth floor of the facilities, when a scream made their skin go up.
Lex broke away from the men and ran as fast as her legs would allow her, she watched to Daniel kept leaned on a column as he clutched his chest and breathed heavily.
"What's the matter!? Are you okay? WHERE'S EMMA?" Lex questioned, each question containing more desperation than the last and her heartbeat was so rushed she could feel it rumbling in her ear.
"The monster! He's in the room!" Daniel cried.
"Wait here," Lex said, she kept running, almost striding forward as she stared at various mutilated bodies on the way, mostly guards.
She paused for a moment to pick up the pistol still held by one of the guards, he had a large cut on his neck that had almost decapitated him and his blood kept dripping, leaving a large crimson pool on the ground. Lex couldn't help but think of her sister and squeezed the gun tight.
She left the man behind and unlocked the gun; her hands trembled more out of fury than fear, there were dozens of armed men 'guarding' the facilities and they all seemed to be easily outmatched by only 3 Yautja hunters...
When she got to the room she kicked the door and pointed the gun, she was willing to kill whoever it was, just to save her niece.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Lex's gaze carried fire.
"Auntie Lex." The innocent little Emma fiddled with a small rubber ball calmly, as if not assimilating the chaos around her.
And Scar was checking his wrist device, he looked away from his to the brunette when he heard her screams, she lowered the weapon almost by reflex.
"S-Scar…" Lex whispered.
The shock prevented her from moving, was he really here? After everything she told him? When had he arrived?
"How did you get in?" Lex asked.
Scar pointed to the ceiling, as if it were the most normal thing in the world, Lex saw the huge hole and some pieces of the slab scattered on the floor, she felt a bit silly, obviously he had not used any doors.
Lex shook her head slightly to force herself to come out of her shock, then she advanced with determined steps and without thinking, she placed her arms around Scar's waist, she needed to check how tangible his body was, because she couldn't believe that he was there again, with her, not after practically insulting and offending him.
Regret along with her surprise swirled in her chest, she wanted to explain the reasons for the abrupt, bitter and unkind, parting from his.
And luckily for her, the warrior extended his long and strong arms around her, corresponding to her embrace. "I want to tell you so many things," said Lex, pulling away a little and raising her head.
"We have to go." Scar cut in, his indifference was the only layer that separated him from the feelings he felt for Lex.
"Daniel is outside." Lex said.
"There's no time, I must save you."
"No!" Exclaimed Lex, Emma got up from the bed and walked to her aunt, hoping that she would not agree with the warrior, "I've to go back for Daniel, I won't leave without him."
Scar wanted to leave, she just wanted Lex to be okay, but he had to help her find the little boy or she wouldn't leave… or she would get mad and he didn't know what was worse. He didn't have time for a discussion.
The three left the room, Scar moved forward, they saw more people running fast and without stopping, while the shots didn't stop "they're coming for you, they're hunting you." Scar said.
Lex didn't want to lie to him anymore, he was here and he deserved to know the truth "I know" she was holding Emma's hand and holding the small pistol with the other.
Scar's steps were determined, steady, and his double blades were ready to attack.
But he stopped in the middle of the road.
"You know it?" Scar's voice betrayed his surprise.
"They're kidnapping humans who have faced other Yautja" confessed Lex
"Why didn't you tell me?" Scar questioned, sounding outraged, he was sure that if Lex had spoken to him sincerely, he'd have avoided a lot of trouble, he was upset, hurt and disappointed.
Old Ooman was right.
Lex swallowed hard, her voice always kept a strong tone, but this time it came out nervous "these people wanted to capture you and at the same time they was my only hope of keeping my nephews safe, they told me if I could help them to follow the trail of the Bad Blood would give me security." She tried to compress all the information to make it sound as reasonable as possible. "What else could I've done?"
"You could trust me, but you didn't. They weren't the only thing you had." Scar's words were the clearest proof of an understandable reproach.
"I'm sorry," Lex said, she couldn't see Scar's eyes because of his biomask, but still she could imagine the way he was looking at her and she couldn't keep her head raised.
She felt very embarrassed.
"All this time I thought you hated me."
"No, I don't hate you. I just wanted you to be safe, these people; you don't know what they're capable of." She started walking.
"D you think I'm not strong?" Scar did not know whether to feel annoyed or indignant, he advanced until he reached Lex's side.
"It's not that," Lex replied, "but… I care about you a lot and I didn't want to risk you." She paused, waiting for Scar to say something, but he just kept silent. "You don't have to forgive me, I was a fool."
Lex looked so tired, thin and mortified, Scar could tell the pale color of her skin, she did not have that healthy bright glow that she liked so much.
Finally he decided to talk.
"Don't worry, now I'm with you." He said confidently, reaching a hand up to Lex and caressing his mark on her cheek. The symbol of his clan.
They still had a lot to talk about, but at least for now the Lex's brief words were enough for Scar, she felt as if her shoulders were released from a great weight.
Lex smiled, it had been so many months since she had stretched her cheeks that her gesture seemed strange to her, was Scar's arrival a new sign to be happy?
"Daniel!" Emma ran to the boy and gave him a hug.
Daniel stepped back when he saw Scar and Lex waved her hands, raising and lowering them slowly as she mouthed the words 'calm down'
"No, no… he…" the boy began, his knees shaking.
"Sweetheart, he's good." Scar stood a few feet away, inspecting with his bio-mask for signs of heat and whether they belonged to any predator. "His name is Scar and he's going to help us get out of here." Lex explained.
"Is he good?" Daniel asked.
No, he wasn't. He was also a murderer, but there was no short way to explain the whole Yautja story to a ten-year-old boy, in the middle of a shootout, while they are being pursued by three other even more ruthless killers.
Lex decided to go the easy way "well, yeah. Now he is good."
Daniel wasn't very convinced, for him, Scar was another monster.
"Where are Hicks and Fred?" Asked Lex, Scar didn't pay too much attention to the first name, but he snorted with anger when he heard 'Fred', the last thing he wanted was to run into that bastard.
"I don't know," Daniel said, Lex nodded in resignation, wishing they were both okay.
They walked towards the children's room, Scar had left the ship parked on the roof, which at first glance was a mission not so impossible to achieve; in theory, they should just run and stay away from the bullets.
But in reality, it was not that simple.
Lex saw Scar's muscles tense; there were two predators in one of the rooms, some 20 or 30 meters from them, the glass walls allowed to see how they mercilessly dismembered a poor guard and didntt even bother to kill him first, they only ripped off his limbs when he was still begging for his life.
Scar looked at Falconer, his armor only covered the left side of his chest, his biomask was a dark copper color and had an elongated shape, decorated with some beak-shaped folds that made him look like a metal hawk. Metal protections protected his knees and thighs as did a leather loincloth, and his dreadlocks were brown.
Scar wanted to attack Falconer, but the probability of beating him while with Tracker was not very favorable.
And Lex didn't want him to fight, they could continue down another corridor to surround the area and avoid going through the middle and being seen by the two predators, but Scar started walking towards them, he hated them, those three fuckers had made it personal. They attacked Lex, they attacked his annoying partner and he wasn't going to let them get away with it.
"Scar, let's go," Lex said aloud, but he didn't seem to hear her.
Lex didn't want him to leave her, she loved him and facing those two predators alone was the stupidest idea he could think of.
"Where is he going?" Emma asked.
Lex remembered the pyramid, Scar was leaving decidedly, just like so many years ago and the feeling of despair she felt in this moment, was even worse than before "take me with you" said Lex, Scar turned towards her, his dreadlocks moved in a gentle sway and for a moment he forgot about the two predators.
Those same words had made his stop his steps 4 years ago in the pyramid "Lex, I-
"No!" Lex exclaimed angrily, "you don't have to do this. Not now, take us with you, to your planet, anywhere, but don't leave us. Don't leave me.
Scar tilted his head, analyzing the situation, as he always used to do. "Do you really want to go with me?"
Lex nodded, things were different now. No matter how much revenge he had, he had to prepare the ship for a quick escape and that ironically took some time.
The plan now was to get to the ship. Alive

Thank you trIchstEr99, 13Olivia96 and Zulaeva Gilyana for your favorites :)
NeverNeverLady Hi there! :-) I'm very glad that you liked the previous chapter, I hope this is also to your liking: D btw, Weyland will continue to be an idiot, ah and thanks so much for your understanding :-) sometimes real life is a bit overwhelming.
RKF22 Hello! :-) hahaha yes, there are many new problems for our poor protagonists, I hope you like this chapter! Thank you for reading:-)
predator1701 Hi! :-) Yeah, it turns out this turned into a crawler mess.
Lex is very upset emotionally and she believes that she's alone in all of this, causing her to make decisions that she would not make if she was okay. As for Weyland, he's taking advantage of that.
Personally I wouldn't touch any weapon of the predators even if they paid me for it, damn, you could kill yourself with some blade or an explosion and it is clear that these scientists don't know what the hell those things are :/ but you know, human curiosity…
And it's not just any facehugger, so there's a great risk that someone or many will end up dead (but I'll not say more for now hahaha)
When I saw the Predators movie I noticed that they really strived to hunt humans (although I think they could put more action, in the end like in all movies, the predators died)
I think Wolf will have a heart attack from all this and Scar will say: I told you so!
Our dear Weyland doesn't want to kill predators and that's why he doesn't want to use heavy weapons, he's an idiot.
Oh... how sad that other fanfic :-( poor woman, poor baby , it must have been horrible, but you said it, the Bad Bloods don't care about anything.
Thank you very much for your understanding! I'll try to find a balance between life and my hobbies, I love writing so I'll return as soon as I have time.
Thanks for following this crazy story, until the next chapter! :)
Sweet-Debbyh ¡Hola! :-) ¡Gracias por tu apoyo! A mí también me da gusto volver a escribir sobre este ship:-)
Sí, los problemas están creciendo, pero trato de que todo siga teniendo un poco de sentido (tanto como sea posible en el mundo de alíen y depredador), pues este fanfic es como un crossover y las cosas pueden salirse de control muy rápido jaja
Jajaja Wolf está muy enfadado con Scar (aunque tiene sus razones para estarlo) sería spoiler decirte cuál será su próximo paso a seguir, solo te diré que él estará muy presente:-)
Pienso mucho en los perros de Tracker, tal vez después tengan un buen uso más adelante xD
¡Gracias por leer! :)
