Chapter 2- Betrayal

Ken ran to the side of the building and looked down at the carnage below. The two species were covered in the blood of there opponents. A bullet flew from the window across the street and pierced Kens chest. Ken looked up to see Tom's menacing grin from behind the rifle. As he began to fall, he turned toward the girl and saw Rosemary O'Brian's lifeless body lying in a pool of her own blood. Ken began to fall to the ground below him.

Ken awoke in a cold sweat and jumped out of bed. When he stood up he felt the burning pain from his wound transfer to his entire body. In this split-second of pain, Ken fell to the ground holding his injury. When he got up he looked at the clock which was blinking on 12:00am. Ken looked out the window and saw the hall clock said 3:00pm. Ken ran out of the infirmary and down the hall to the briefing room, the whole time saying, "Crap I'm late."

When he slammed the door open, General Lith turned to him and sighed, saying, "Ken, where were you, the mission started a half hour ago, since you weren't here we had to send Tom Lueth."

Suddenly it hit Ken; Tom was let out early, and screwed with his alarm. Angry Tom sat down and put on the headset saying, "Marines, please respond, this is Sgt Lenson, come in."

A voice over the communicator said, "Lenson, this is Moody, where were you this morning."

Ken responded saying, "Lueth shut off my alarm clock,"

Moody laughed and said, "I know, he was bragging about it on the way down, don't worry your not missing much, just a two hundred year old ship full of skeletons."

Ken began to calm down when radio silence was broken by Lueth running in screaming, "Their coming, their coming, shut the door.

Moody asked, "what is it, what's coming Lueth."

Lueth answered, "This isn't just a ship it's the breeding ground for those creatures."

Ken jumped up from his seat and looked toward the General as another soldier screamed, "Their in the vents there right above us."

The sound of gunfire and screams came over the radio. General Lith looked at Ken and said, "Ken we need you to go down there and rescue Alpha team."

Ken ran into the gear room and got suited up for the rescue. Ken went to his locker and picked up his M-4 and Desert Eagle. As e was leaving a scientist stopped him and said, "What are you doing, we have better weapons for you."

Ken turned to the scientist and said, "These were my fathers, I guess you can call them my lucky charms, plus, a bullets a bullet, no matter how it's fired."

Ken ran to the pod room, when he was stopped by General Lith, whom briefed him on the mission saying, "Lenson, this is a solo mission to an area we've dubbed, Breeding Zone. Your primary objectives are to rescue Alpha squadron and destroy the Alien breeding ground, do you understand the mission."

Ken nodded his head and ran into the pod, and secured himself in the seat. After the countdown, the pod dropped toward the deserted planet. As the pod flew through the atmosphere General Lith's voice came over the radio saying, "Good Luck Ken."

After the pod had landed on the planet's surface, Ken climbed out and ran toward the destroyed ship his objectives were on. He entered the ship and ran to the end of the hall, where he sensed a presence around the corner. He moved against the wall and looked around the corner. He saw two Aliens communicating to each other with screeching noises. Ken held his M-4 close to his chest and let out a nervous sigh.

Ken turned the corner and fired at the Aliens on the wall. When he stopped firing, two bloody carcasses were lying on the ground. Ken ran down the hall and stopped at the sound of gun fire coming from the mess hall of the ship. Ken ran down the hall and put his ear up to the door.

Meanwhile on the other side of the door Colonel Moody's men weren't putting up a good fight against the Swarm of Aliens rushing into the room. Ken loaded the 100-shot clip into his weapon and kicked the door open. When he walked in he started mowing down the Aliens coming from the vent. When Alpha squadron saw their support their morale boosted and they began to fight harder. Colonel ran over to Ken's position and asked, "Did you come alone."

Ken turned toward Moody and smiled saying, "The General wanted to make it fair for the Aliens."

The Aliens, realizing that the Marines had overpowered them, went back through the vents from wense they came. The Marines cheered and ran over to thank Ken for the heroic rescue. A woman walked up and kissed him on the cheek as a show of gratitude. Ken looked at her and said, "Rosemary?"

She looked at him and said, "Please Lenson, call me Rose."

During the celebration, Lueth walked up to Ken and said, "We were doing fine Halfling."

Ken looked at him and said, "you shut off my alarm you no good son of a ..."

Ken was cut off when Moody said, "Stop fighting and let's get out of here."

Ken looked at Moody and said, "I have to finish my objectives, this ship has to go."

Rose looked at him and said, "The only way to blow the entire ship is to go to the bridge, but readings show that's the Aliens main breeding ground. Going there will be suicide."

Ken looked at Rose and said, "It's the only way, I have to."

Rose stared into Kens eyes and said, "Then I'll go with you, you'll need a medic."

When they started down the hall to the Bridge a group of aliens jumped through the vents and attacked the two Marines. Ken grabbed his gun and fired at the Aliens. One Alien came up from behind trying to attack Rose, when Ken pulled out his Desert Eagle and put a bullet in the Aliens head, killing it. He handed Rose the gun and said, "You might need this."

Ken kicked the door open and began to fire at the aliens inside. Rose ran over to the computers and began to type in the detonation code. Meanwhile, Lueth, Moody and two other Marines ran to their ship, when Moody heard the gunfire and stopped. He pulled out his gun and turned around. One of the Marines stopped and said, "Sir, what are you doing."

Moody looked at him and said, "Leave no man behind," and ran off toward the ship.

The one Marine followed Moody back toward the ship. Lueth turned toward the pilot and said, "Go, go, go."

The Marine looked at him and said, "We can't leave them here."

Lueth pulled out his gun and shot the Marine in the head, aimed the gun at the pilot and said, "Go now."

Back in the ship, while Rose was inputting the code, Ken continued firing at the Alien Swarm. The Aliens blood burnt Ken when it hit him. Rose turned toward Ken and said, "It's done, we've got five minutes."

Ken threw a grenade into the room and followed Rose out of the room; the Grenade exploded killing the mother Alien. Moody saw them running and said, "come on, Marines."

Moody notice the army of Aliens following his two Marines, so when they got up to him, he began to run. The one Marine fell behind so when he saw the three people run past him, his eyes followed them. When he turned back around, an alien stared into his eyes. The Marine got a scared look on his face as the Alien's tong went through his eye, killing him.

When the three Marines came to the door it had shut down due to the self-destruction. The only way out was a vent and the Aliens were coming up fast. Colonel Moody looked at Ken and said, "You two go, I'll hold them off."

When Ken helped Rose into the vent, he turned to Moody and said, "No, you can't die."

Moody reached into his pocket and said, "I've lived long enough, now get the hell out of here."

When Ken went through the vent, Moody turned toward the incoming Aliens and pulled a cigar out of his pocket. He he lit it and stuck it in his mouth. Moody pulled out a grenade and pulled the pin, sceaming, "come get me ya freaks."

Ken heard the grenade explode, turned around and said, "colonel!"

Rose tugged at his arm signaling for him to follow her. They ran to where the escape ship was only to see it fly away. Ken looked up and screamed, "Lueth
