Ellis sat in a tree overlooking a clearing where she was waiting for either Hoomans or Black skins (Aliens). She looked at the bandage on her right forearm stained with blood and remembered the Black skin that hurt her so badly and earned their race her wrath. Her original mission was to scout LV 187 for Hooman life and to bring back a trophy or two. She was tracking a small group of Colonial Marines when she came upon a Black skin and decided to have a bit of fun with this strange creature. She came up behind the creature with her wrist blades fully extended. The Black Skin had it's back to her and she smiled beneath her face mask that covered most of her head like a helmet rather than a mask. She never used her cloaking device because she found it cowardly and she had the scars to prove it. She raised her blades and before the Black Skin knew what happened its head fell to the ground spraying its acidic blood on Ellis's arm melting her wrist blades and the flesh where it landed. Ellis screamed in an almost Human female voice with pain and her skin sizzled and blistered. If she wasn't a medic with the Gurock (Goo-Rock) Army she would have lost her arm. She quickly cleaned it using Astak (As-Tack) (Blue liquid in a vile) and bandaged it. Her attention came back to the present as the sound of gunfire came from the clearing. She looked up and saw a scattered group of Marines running through the field and shooting in all directions. Then she saw what they were shooting at. An organized pack of Black skins emerged from the trees and were exterminating the Marines.

"Black skins." She said to herself.

She could here the screams as the soldiers were torn apart one by one. Of the 8 Marines that originally ran into the field only 3 were still alive and running straight at her. They were less than 100 feet from her when one of them fell with a cry of pain.

"Sara!!" One of them yelled and turned around to get her. "Jack cover fire."

Jack turned around and fired 3 round bursts taking a few of the Black skins down but there were still about 15 left and he was running out of ammo.

"Move it Tim I'm almost empty." Jack yelled.

"Are you alright?" Tim asked Sara as he bent down and picked her up.

"I think my leg is broken." Sara said.

They began running again and were right under Ellis when they stopped and looked around.

"Shit we're surrounded." Jack said as he dropped a Black skin that was coming at them.

"We're fucked." Sara said as she looked at the round readout on her rifle and it red 001. "Last round is for me I guess."

"If we're gonna die we're gonna die as Marines you take that last round and shove the fucking thing up the ass of the next Xenomorph that comes near you." Tim said.

"Well I'll have to ask it to turn around then wont I." Sara joked.

"Will you please save the smart ass remarks for later please thank you!" Jack yelled as he dropped another Xenomorph.

Ellis used her specially made ear piece to listen to their heartbeats.

'I hear 4 heartbeats.' She thought. 'but there are only 3 of them.'

She turned her vision from normal to heat and looked at them.

'I see so the female is with child.' She thought. 'An honorable hunter would never kill anything that is with child. But these Black skins are gonna kill her.' She shook her head no. 'That wont happen on my watch.'

Ellis jumped off the tree branch she was on and landed on the ground with a thud right behind Sara who turned around with a scream and shot her last round into the ground when she saw the nearly 6 foot predator standing in front of her. She was holding a spear in her left hand and her right was over a bladed disk on her hip.

"What the Hell is that?" Jack asked as he raised his rifle and pointed it at Ellis.

"I am not your enemy." Ellis said in perfect English.

"You speak English" Tim said.

"Focus on the problem at hand we'll talk later." Ellis said as the Black skins closed in.

Tim and Jack used the last of their bullets but the Xenomorphs kept coming.

"Sara." Jack said. "That last round of yours….Make it count."

"I already used it." Sara said still looking at Ellis.

"Get behind me." Ellis said and pulled her disk from its holster and threw it with all her might.

It blazed through the Black skins and half of them fell dead and the other's scattered.

"They'll be back." Ellis said as she caught the dick and put it back in its holster. "Is there somewhere safe we can go?"

"Our drop ship is less than a mile away." Sara said.

"Good lets go." Ellis said and picked Sara off her feet and slung her over her shoulder.

"Hey put me down." Sara yelled.

"You are too hurt you'll only slow us down." Ellis said as they started to run to the landing zone.

Jack and Tim dropped their equipment as they ran so they could run faster and Ellis followed them carrying Sara. They reached the drop ship that was being guarded by 10 Marines in less than 5 minutes and ran right for it.

"Lift off." Jack yelled. "Xenomorphs are right behind us."

He Marines looked in shock at the nearly 6 foot tall female creature that was carrying a fully armored Marine as if she was weightless.

"I said lift off." Jack yelled again.

All the men along with Ellis and Sara got on the drop ship and it lifted off just as a group of Xenomorphs got to the drop zone. Jack and Sara looked out a window as the ship opened fire on the Xenomorphs as it headed off LV 187.

"So who exactly are you?" Sara asked sitting down and strapping herself in.

"Or what." One of the Marines added.

"My name is Ellis." Ellis said taking off her facemask and letting her long black hair fall around her shoulders.

Sara and the others were surprised when Ellis set her mask/helmet on the floor and looked at them with beautiful blue eyes.

"You're human." Jack said as he looked at her incredibly cute face her body was covered with thick black armor but he knew she had a good body by the shape of her armor.

"Yes and no." Ellis said. "My parents were killed along with everyone else when our starship crashed on a planet inhibited by Tarkens (Tar-Kens) they found me and cared for me and trained me as one of their own. I am a Corporal in the Gurock army and I was sent to see if this planet had Hooman life."

"And then what?" Tim asked.

"We have been looking for a planet with Hooman life for years to set up diplomatic ties with them." Ellis said.

"Why?" Sara asked.

"Our planet is overrun with Black skins and we know that you are capable of helping us rid our planet of them." Ellis said.

"I see then you'll have to talk to our CO and he'll decide what to do." Tim said.

"So is that why you helped us?" Sara asked.

"No I was gonna watch and see how you did but the female is with child and my honor would be tarnished and only death would reclaim it if I let her die."

"With child? Sara?" Tim asked and looked at Sara who had her head bowed.

"I didn't want to say anything." Sara said. "They would have kicked me out of the Marines."

"Your father is a 4 star General. You know nothing would happen to you." Tim said.

"Who is the father?" Jack asked.

"Jimmy." Sara said.

Tim and Jack sat back in their seats and sighed.

"Did he know?' Tim asked.

"No." Sara said. "I was gonna tell him but he was killed before I could."

Alright get ready we're about to dock." The pilot said.

"Ellis as soon as we dock we'll take you to see General Caraway. Sara's father." Tim said.

"Thank you." Ellis said and put her mask/helmet back on and tucked her hair back in.
