Still don't own NGE or Alien.
15 years later ...
Shinji ran through he hallway towards the one room. Hours earlier, the First Child Rei Ayanami had given her life to protect the city. He still remembered what had happened...
FLASHBACK
Rei could feel the angel probing her mind and see it enter her body as a multitude of veins. Outside, the creature was a ring of light. Inside, it was nothing but a voice, taunting, cold, and unisex.
'Why do you fight for those who do not care for you?'
"I... I fight for..."
'You fight because it's all you can do, it's all you were meant to do.'
"No."
'No?' It tensed when it saw out of her eyes reach for the switch under her seat. 'What are you doing?' When she activated the switch, it could see what she was planning to do. 'Stop! You would still sacrifice your own life!?'
"It is what I can do."
"REI!"
The angel saw out of her eyes the teary-eyed younger Ikari. 'A lilum... that... cares?' It died along with Rei as the EVA exploded.
END FLASHBACK
Shinji was filled with sadness that he could not have been able to save her. But when he heard that she was still alive, he was rejuvenated. And now he was going to her room.
Room 241. He opened the door, and there she was, sitting on the bed, resembling when he first saw her. But something was different. She was...
"You're not Rei."
She looked at him out of her unbandaged eye. "You must be mistaken. I am Rei Ayanami, designated 1st Child, and pilot of EVA Unit-00."
He knew it. She was acting the same way she was before the 5th angel. He backed up slowly, then ran out the door, leaving a stoic yet bewildered Rei..
He slammed the door shut to his room, and collapsed onto his futon. He hadn't saved her. She hadn't survived at all. The Rei he knew was dead. All that was left was that imitator. Silently, he cried himself to sleep.
Misato watched him through his door, her heart breaking. Shinji was practically the only person left in her life who cared. Kaji was dead, and he would somewhat qualify. She turned, walked out the apartment, and went on her way to NERV, to speak with a certain doctor
"Ritsuko, you'll have to tell him sooner or later." Misato stood in the living room of one Ritsuko Akagi. Right now, Ms. Akagi was going on how the Rei at NERV wasn't the one Shinji knew.
"It's too risky. The Commander has eyes and ears everywhere."
Misato threw her hands up. "I give up." She walked to the door, but turned around and looked at Ritsuko. "Just remember who you're hurting the most."
Ritsuko watched her leave. "I know," she said silently.
Outside the major part of the city, the ship lay nestled among the crumbled buildings. Whether ignorant or fearful, the humans had not noticed the ship these past 15 years, which had enabled a dark force within grow.
Within the ship, if one were to look within, there were numerous eggs. These eggs harboured the seeds of a new race. A man suddenly ran past one of the eggs, fear etched onto his face. He ran until he could see the light at the end. He ran happily, until he tripped over something. He landed on his face, and managed roll over...
...and see a dead body, chest torn open. He screamed, scrambled to his feet, and ran into a 5 foot creature that smacked him into a wall, knocking him mercifully unconscious. The alien hissed, grabbed his leg, and dragged him deeper into the hive.
The Alien, or Xenomorph as many have come to call them, was bizarre in more ways than one. It was humanoid in appearance, but also insectoid. It did not have skin, but rather a shell of chitin. It resembled a human skeleton, save for several differences. It had no eyes or nostrils on its head, which had a banana shape. It had a human-like jaw with razor-sharp teeth; the teeth of a predator. Its hands had 3 digits, and an opposable thumb. Its tail, a bony 3 ft-long tail, had a sharp point at the end. Its feet had 3 bony, sharp digits with a final digit on the back. On its back, four tube-like spines stood up 1 ft. in the air, with a 5th 6 in. spine/spike on the back of its neck.
It brought the man into a massive empty room. Which wasn't empty. In the center, SHE lay prone on a giant sack. SHE was the mother of all, the Alien Queen. She was 3 times as large as the drone, the one the stood before her. She had 4 arms instead of 2, her tail was half her body size, and her skull had several matching crests on it. She sniffed the man with her sensors in her skull. With one massive arm, she picked him up and dropped before a dark wall.
The wall moved, revealing a gargantuan figure. The drones in that area moved aside, not out of respect.
But out of fear.
The monster revealed itself. It was the Alien King, overlord of all Aliens, and mate to the queen. Where the Queen had 4 arms, it had 6, all of them massive. Its tail was 3/4 its body height, and had a scorpion stinger at the end. Its skull was morely ridged, like a crown.
Barely looming over the Queen, he lowered his massive head. It carefully inspected the man, then devoured him. The Queen sensed his disappointed. The man was not a worthy host.
The Alien King dropped the remains of the human. Despite the fact that they had no enemies here on Earth, they were dying. Therefore, it was imperative that the 2 of them find hosts before the unavoidable happened.
The Alien King stepped over to the Queen, and nudged her softly. Even in all his power, he could be gentle if he wanted to be. The Queen sensed his next action even before he did it. She detached herself from the egg sac and stood beside the King.
On one accord, the 2 of them thrust their tails into the egg sac. Minutes later, out of the oviposter of the egg sac, 2 things dropped out. The drones nearby quickly picked them up, revealing 2 facehuggers. One bore the seed of the King, while the other bore the Queen's seed. The drones left the chamber, and the Alien rulers moved back to their previous positions.
The drones stopped moving a few miles away from the nest. They were close to civilization. They put down the facehuggers gently, as these were the only ones that could be produced by the Hive rulers. As the facehuggers scrambled away, they went back to the Hive, running on all fours.
The facehuggers scrambled away, and then took separate directions. The female went on until she came to a grate. Due to her size, she could easily slip through.
The male came to a wall. It was a good thing that the facehuggers had the wall-climbing ability of the adults. It began to scale the high wall.
After a good while, it sensed a potential host. It found an opening and slipped through.
The female had been going down the long opening for a while. When it came to another, it slipped through.
It found a human female in some strange fluid. After a quick analysis, it confirmed that the girl would be a suitable host for the Queen.
The male found the entrance, but the host it did not. It did not like the smell of this one, so it moved on. It found another room and slipped under the door.
The one it found was female. It needed a male host, so it left. It crept out of the room and into the hall. It found another door and slipped in.
The female could not get to the girl. There was something in the way, an invisible wall. It scaled the wall, to the top, and found a crack. The crack was to small, but that was easily remedied. It used its tail to cut a bigger crack, then slipped through.
The human it found was perfect. It was male, and of suitable breeding age. The male was asleep, so that would make it easier to implant the egg. It crawled towards the boy.
The female was floating in fluid. It seemed that to get to its new host, it would have swim. An easy thing to to. It swam towards the girl.
Simultaneously, the 2 facehuggers latched themselves onto their newfound individual host, wrapping their legs around their host's head, and wrapping their tails around the neck.
They inserted their own tubes down their sleeping host's throats. Within a matter of minutes, the implantation was complete. They dropped off their hosts.
The male crawled into a corner.
The female sank to the bottom of the tube.
Their jobs complete, the facehuggers died.
And that's the end of that chapter. I don't have to tell you who the hosts are. If you have questions on the Alien King, let me know in your reviews. Plz review my fics; I need reviews. Ja ne.
