Chapter 4: Noobies no more

The commander knew his platoon didn't stand a chance so he ordered them to retreat to the APCs. They all began making last minute shots and ran to the APCs.

Just then they saw Jason who was shooting with what looked like the best aim ever. Every time an alien came out of its hiding place he shot it in the head every time. An alien was creeping up behind the commander and by the time he turned around the aliens claws would have sliced off his head, but Jason also quickly gunned it down. The commander and all the other marines noticed this and immediately considered Jason a "salty" marine.

While Jason was gunning down all the aliens on one side the predators had their hands full on the other. Shou'nk didn't know what to do at first. Essra was using the spear gun and taking out the aliens one by one when a praetorian came up and stabbed her. Essra roared out in agony. Its claws sank deep into her stomach and she dropped her spear gun. It pulled out its claws and let Essra fall to the ground nearly bleeding to death. Jason ran over and began shooting the large armored alien. As he went for the praetorian four other aliens were coming at him from behind. The praetorian slashed at him and cut his gun in half while knocking him to the ground. Shou'nk was angry with the aliens now. They hurt his clan mate and were about to kill his new friend.

Just as the Praetorian was about the make the final blow Shou'nk jumped in front of it. He turned to the four drones that were running towards them and in one swift motion threw the disc while kicking up Essra's spear gun into his hands and turning around. He faced the large armored advancing creature and unloaded a full clip in its head while slowly stepping back. While he shot the praetorian the disc went to the side of its targets and as they came by it swooped across them, giving them clean cuts across their stomachs. Then as they leaned over it immediately came back and cut off all their heads. After the praetorian was dead another alien pounced at him from behind and he dodged it by jumping and doing a back flip. While in the flip he reloaded the spear gun in mid-air at an amazing speed. As he landed on his feet he tri-shot the alien. The spears went though its head instantly killing it. Another alien pounced at him from a tree. He ducked and as it passed over him he tri-shot it in the gut. The drone was dead before it hit the ground. Shou'nk stood there triumphant. In one last movement he stuck out his hand and caught the disc.

His clan stood there amazed; staring at their so-called "freshmeat" as silenced passed by. Just then more Xenomorphs came and began over running the base. They headed to the commander's APC and jumped inside. The driver drove off with all his passengers (or survivors) and all the other APCs.

Today was a good day for all of them. Shou'nk and Jason had both proven themselves in combat and got the respect they deserve. The commander gave Jason a medal and Shou'nk was blooded. Doun'ch was sitting next to the commander and conversing with him. "What is the location we are currently approaching?" "A base in the colony that used to be here." As they could see they were moving into the abandoned human civilization.

Essra was using the medicomp on herself while she was in the back laying on a bed for the injured. It was annoying to the soldiers hearing her roar a lot because of the pain. She looked around and saw they were in the city. "So that's why the hardmeat don't own this area of the civilization," she said in a weak voice.

They drove into an underground tunnel. They went on for what seemed like an hour, but was only twenty minutes until they reached an armored blast proof door. The commander got out and talked to a guard at the door. After five seconds of talking he got back in, the doors opened, and they drove down to a large supply room which was filled with humans, marines, some colony survivors, and cargo. It was the human Head Quarters.

Essra was still a little weak from using the medicomp. The medicomp will heal a predator, but it takes out all of its the energy. They carried Essra out and put her in a marine's bed. Shortly after she feel asleep.

The Predators came up to the general and the general was surprised at first. The General pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the predators, but the commander stopped him. "They are on our side, sir."
