A/N: My friend's dad can really do the Predator clicking noise! I mean i was talking to her on the phone and stuff and he did it! it was so fucking awesome! And also, i found this out after watching AVP a few times and if you pause the scene with the aurora borealis, i'm pretty sure you can see the t- like tribal symbol in the stars. It's brighter than some of the stars too. Check it out and tell me!

Plus, this chapter caused me to have MAJOR writer's block. So don't kill me with flames if it's not good. Just tell me what i should change. I saw that my first beginning to the chapter was horrible! It was the AQ going into the pred ship. Yeah right... so i changed it! Also, the magic she speaks when she is fighting the Queen was made by me so HA! You can't sue me! Here you go! RR!

CHAPTER FOUR: THE REVEALING OF DEI'R'DRE'S POWERS

Entrai becha: Magic, slay!

Lex watched Dei'r'dre and Hr'aen cloak themselves as they ran in the opposite direction. Further, to her horror, she saw what she was not willing to see. The Alien Queen, back and pissed. She cursed under her breath and followed the two hunters quietly. She lost sight of them for a while, but soon found them in an alleyway, backs to her. She crept into the dark alley and said.

"Just what do you think you are doing?" Both roared and whirled around, extending their wrist blades. Lex gasped and stumbled backward just at the right time. Dei'r'dre bore down on her, her mask reflecting Lex's frightened gaze.

"You pauk- de ooman!" She shrieked. "Never, ever, EVER follow us again!" Lex, with each word from the angry Dei'r'dre, was slammed into the ground as she was shaken. Lex gasped, just as screams were heard, coming from Time Square. "C'jit..." Dei'r'dre let go of Lex quickly and dashed off up the fire escape stairs. Lex followed them, not knowing what else to do.

"Guys, I'm fo-" She found the one of the two predators staring, horrified. She looked down and saw the Queen, lashing at the people with her tail and claws, shrieking something terrible. Lex looked for what the queen was so upset about and saw Dei'r'dre, her spear extended, throwing shuriken at it with speed she thought Scar didn't even have. She watched the predator dodge and roll away from the lashing tail of the giant alien, hoping to god she didn't have to help her out.

Dei'r'dre struggled, dodging and only able to throw shuriken. She couldn't get close to it because of the angry Queen's tail. Then, to her horror, the Queen pounced, one ton of angry kainde amedha landing on her. She screamed in pain, feeling the queen tearing at her mask. She thrust her spear, hoping to hit the Queen in a soft spot. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Queen bringing her tail up, the pointed, spear- like tip directed at her abdomen. She brought out her ki'cti- pa as a last resort and stabbed upward, slicing the kainde amedha's spear tail off half way. The Queen let out a shriek and threw herself off of the angry yautja, whipping her tail, spilling acid blood everywhere.

"Die, you son of a-" The last word was drowned out as Dei'r'dre shot mercilessly at her quarry with her plasmacaster. The Queen gave out a roar of pain and anger as the shots hit her in the abdomen, causing her to be thrown into a building behind her. She staggered up, but Dei'r'dre was already on her back, raising her spear for the kill. The alien whipped her head around and threw off the yautja with such a force, she flew one hundred yards away. Frightened, she looked at the ground and screamed, " Entrai becha!" Black tendrils of light swirled from her hands as she fell to the ground, as if being controlled, she pointed her arms in the direction of the Alien and a blinding light filled time square. Dei'r'dre looked down, and to her surprise, she was holding a sword of energy not unlike her own h'sai-de. Tendrils of black magic floated from her eyes as she ran what was like in slow motion at her target, the alien's movements also seemed slower as she jumped into the air, raising her sword and decapitating the Queen with one swift stroke, three seconds after, time returned to normal and she landed. She heard the alien's head and body hit the ground at the same time. But, she looked down and saw a hole in her armor, red blood gushing from the wound like a leak in a dam. She gasped and fell to the floor, pain consuming her. She opened her mouth and let out a scream, hearing Lex yelling her name, running down a fire escape toward her, Hr'aen following her. She looked at them both for a second.

"Thank..." Darkness consumed her and she blacked out.

Ra'a'shi was pulling out his ki'its-pa from a kainde amedha when a scream echoed throughout the air. It was Dei'r'dre.

"Re'en! Come with me!" He roared. Re'en threw his quarry down and sprinted to his friend's side.

"What's wrong Ra'a'shi?" He asked, extending his ki'cti-pa, looking for any more kainde amedha.

"Dei'r'dre is in trouble." Ra'a'shi yelled, already running, not bothering to cloak himself. He entered a disaster area, spotting a dead alien queen and Hr'aen and Lex the ooman trying to comfort a figure. He recognized her white hair and skin color and ran over to her. Hraen unmasked her and set it aside, putting his hands on her wound and applying pressure.

"Dei'r'dre!" He whispered, brushing her cheek with his taloned hand. She stared at him with watery eyes and gasped for breath. Re'en brought out his medi kit and brought out a syrum. He applied it onto the wound and it closed with a thin layer of skin. He then applied another salve and the wound healed completely. Hr'aen was gasping.

"Hr'aen, what happened?" Re'en asked, placing his taloned hands on his shoulders. Hr'aen looked at the wounded Dei'r'dre with both frightened and concerned eyes. Re'en shook him. "Hr'aen!" Hr'aen's head snapped back to him.

"She... she..."

"She what?" Hr'aen stared at him.

"She said an incantation... and she did magic."

Ra'a'shi couldn't believe it. The way Hr'aen explained it, it sounded as if his daughter was a spell caster. He stared at her as Kur'ab and Kab'al helped her up. His daugher did magic, but how? He knew that she was not a normal ooman, but still... could she actually be that different?

"Hr'aen, are you sure that she did-"

"Yes, she did." He looked over to Lex, the other ooman. She stared at him unflinchingly as he walked slowly toward her. "Even I saw it... though i don't know if i believe it." Ra'a'shi stopped about a foot in front of her and stood up to his full height. "And, if this is an accomplishment, she also single handedly took down that." She added, pointing to the decapitated carcass of the Alien Queen. He clicked his mandibles and nodded. He turned to Hahkek.

"Is Dei'r'dre alright?" He asked the new warrior. The youngblood nodded, holding his trophy over his shoulder, wrapped in acid proof rope and tending to Dei'r'dre's abdomen wound. She winced a little, but other than that, she showed no other signs of pain. Hr'aen also wrapped her hands in cloth because the magic burned them raw. She tried to get up, but Ra'a'shi told her to sit.

"But, I must mark myself." She gasped, trying to get up again. This time, Ra'a'shi didn't stop her. Holding her stomach, she limped to the dead body of the alien, snapping of one of the fingers and dipping the tip of the claw in the pooling blood near the severed neck. She etched three parallel lines onto her other cheek, blood slowly trickling down her chin. Her blue eyes seemed to glow as she supported herself on her spear, letting only Hr'aen and her father to help her. But before she walked away, she turned to Lex.

"Alexa... would you honor me by coming to my home planet?" Ra'a'shi looked at Lex, smirking at her sudden look of surprise. Dei'r'dre smiled.

"Uhmmm..." Lex couldn't believe it. Dei'r'dre acted as if she hated her, the just decided to show a bout of kindness now? "I don't know... it seems a little odd. You acted as if you hated me, but now are acting as if I'm you're best friend. Why?" Dei'r'dre smiled.

"We both are different in our own ways. You, I don't know how, but i can tell you are. As for me..." She looked away. "I'm just a human with the gifts of a yautja and the powers of a spell caster." She looked back at Lex, whose eyes had softened.

"How am I different?" She asked. Dei'r'dre shrugged.

"I don't know. I can just feel it, I guess." She said. They both laughed.

"Well, I guess I can come with you." She looked at the ruined buildings. "It's not like I have anything to lose here." Dei'r'dre nodded. The two new allies walked to the Queen's head and knelt beside it. Hr'aen helped Dei'r'dre preserve her trophy, the Queen's head and with Lex's and Dei'r'dre's help, lifted it off the ground and carried it to the ship, the survivers following them to the ship, ready to head back to their homeworld, Lex included.
