Chapter 5: Passages
Mac-11: Here's my new chapter. Thank you those you who reviewed. Everyone Salvation is up and just to let you all know it's in the rated "R" section.
It was night. The time most of the humans rested. The time most of the Xenomorphs came out to hunt. The time the Predators come out to explore.
The clan was cloaked and they headed out to the ruins. Reco'de scanned the area with his vision modes. When it was all clear he gave the signal for the clan to follow. They looked around ruin and could find no entrance. Essra scanned it with a structural vision mode and found that the entrance was buried. "Looks like I'll need to make one," said Reco'de before blowing away a thin wall with his high caliber plasma caster.
They looked inside and saw it looked like an ancient Egyptian pyramid from the inside. The clan entered.
Some weird hieroglyphics were all over the walls. However on passage stood out. The letters were sticking out giving it a 3D sort of effect. Essra being the smartest of the clan sat down next to a wall and began trying to read them. The writing was unique and ancient. It was based on the same basic principles of their writing, but none of them understood it. "Well, can you understand them," asked Reco'de. "Hardly. All I've got is so far is 'They will get the weapons of the masters.' We need to go to the entrance. It's like I just picked up a book and started reading it from the middle." So the clan got up. Essra scanned the pyramid and found how to get to the entrance and they headed there.
Meanwhile…
Sean, Jason, Richard, Steve, and Meagan along with her shoulder camera were out on a night patrol. Actually they were patrolling while Meagan was doing a report on it. "Why are you following us again?" asked Sean as if making her refresh his memory. "I'm reporting on the night patrols to show that this Xenomorph infestation problem is under control," she answered. "But it's not under control," replied Richard as he took another sip of coffee. "Well, that's what I have'ta say or I'll get fired. (sigh) The media is a dirty business." Jason nearly burst out laughing. "I hope you know you just said that on camera," he remarked. She turned around and saw the bright and shiny lens of the camera directly in her face. "Uh oh. Umm… we can edit that part out," the reporter suggested. "Awww, but that's the best part," said Steve.
As they continued the patrol a large shadow disrupted the moonlight they were walking in. They looked at the moon and instead found a large shadow. It was blocking the moon. Richard turned on his shoulder lamp and they found that it was a large temple ruins. They all remembered them, because they saw them when they went to capture the alien. "Hey, Sean, want to go exploring?" asked Jason. "No, high command will kill us," he answered. "Come on… It shouldn't take that long. Just a little peak," asked Richard before taking another sip of coffee. "Well, your all against me aren't you?" he asked. Everyone nodded his or her heads. "Fine, but just a quick peak," answered the squad leader.
They headed toward the ruins unaware that the clan was already inside.
Meanwhile…
They had found the entrance and indeed there was the start of the message the Hieroglyphics was trying to give. They also found two large doors that were supposed to be the entrance. Essra sat down with her computer and tried to read out what was the first passage.
"Here lies the ancient race of hard meat that used to terrorize all races good and bad that it came in contact with," read Essra. "Well that was the first message," she said.
Mac-11: That's all I can do for now. I know this chapter was short so the next one will be longer. Anyone see the AVP movie? IT WAS TOTAL CRAP!!! How could one alien kill two preds in one sitting. That was screwed up!!! Well, remember to review if you want me to update.
