Aliens – Nerima Hive

Let's pretend that I wrote something witty here about how I don't own Aliens, Ranma, Predator or pretty much anything else in this fic. Okay no that we're done pretending let's get on to the actual fic.

Chapter 7

Ranma was invisible at the moment and he was standing right next to his mother. The older lady had some sort of white thing stuck to her face. Ranma wasn't sure what it was, but she was pretty sure that it wasn't a good thing. She used the power of the Umi Sen Ken and stole her own mother away from the thing and out of the sticky substance she was in.

Ranma was about to leave when she saw Ukyou, Konatsu and two weird creatures enter the room. That was when Demon Queen gave off a very loud hiss and a roar. Ranma swore to herself as the multiple small demons swarmed into the room. There were so many of them that the young Saotome girl was having a hard time keeping her power up and avoiding them. It was complete pandemonium in the room. She could barely see in front of her, let alone her friends and the strange creatures they were with.

One of the aliens slashed at her with its tail and Ranma realized that she was losing the Umi Sen Ken. She leaped from alien to alien slashing and cutting them down as she tried to get to an exit. She found some space and jumped up to the ceiling, from there she swung herself along dealing with fewer aliens and slowly carried her mother out of the room and towards the place where Shampoo was hopefully still waiting.

Ranma dropped from the ceiling killing a creature as she dropped and landed next to Shampoo. The Amazon was madly slashing and cutting at aliens in front of her and they were easily being cut apart by the girl. Ranma looked down the sewers again at what was left of the approaching Alien horde. She put her mother's body down and said, "Shampoo stay behind me. I have an Idea."

The Purple haired girl quickly stepped behind Ranma and covered her back. With a predatory grin on her face Ranma looked at the approaching hordes and said, "Kijin Dai Ran Bu!"

The girl spun madly and sent vacuum blades crashing down the tunnel. Blade after blade sliced through concrete and alien flesh alike. When the red haired girl was done spinning she gasped for breath and then looked down the tunnel again. It was clear.

"Take my Mom and get out of here Shampoo! Me an that Demon Queen have some business left!"

Shampoo took Nodoka in her arms and retreated through the sewers. She passed alien bodies and avoided gaping holes created by acid, but she was not molested in her trip towards the Neko Hanten.

Ranma watched his purple haired fiancée leave and turned towards the large room. He looked in and it was still all out pandemonium. He looked, but couldn't see anything other than swarming alien bodies, until he saw a glint of white. It was Ukyou or Konatsu and it was on the floor. Ranma yelled out, "Ucchan! Konatsu! Are you alright!"

He received no answer and knew that he would need to get to them fast. Ranma slashed and clawed his way through the alien horde looking for his friends.

Konatsu was fighting beside Ukyou with the two predators. They were doing well against the alien horde, but more and more of the creatures attacked them every moment. They slashed and attacked and then it happened. Ukyou saw a sharp tail coming towards her, but was not able to make her screaming muscles obey her command in time. The tail slashed into one of her arms making it impossible to hold her sword up at all.

Konatsu was at her side immediately, but the young Kunouichi was having a hard time defending his mistress. He knew that the only way for her to survive would be retreat. So, he started to cut an escape for the two of them when suddenly he was in front the Alien Queen herself.

Konatsu looked at the gigantic creature in front of him and quickly struck at it. His twin ceramic blades merely bounced off her hide and she hissed at him swinging a great clawed hand. The boy blocked the hand, but was still sent flying across the room.

Konatsu slammed into a wall and his breath left his body, he accidentally dropped one of his swords, and fell to the ground in the middle of a sticky mass next to two large white eggs. The boy tried to free himself, but was having trouble fighting against the sticky substance while he was catching his breath.

The eggs in front of Konatsu slowly opened. He was just catching his breath and getting enough strength in his hands when a small creature came flying at him from the egg. Konatsu freed one hand and desperately swung his sword at the creature severing it in half. He gulped in a large breath of air and started to cut his other hand free. That was when his face was hit by something wet and slimy. The young ninja boy shut his mouth, dropped his sword, and immediately and put both hands on the creature to pull it off.

Konatsu yanked at the face hugger while he felt blackness closing in. The thing was choking off his air supply and making it harder and harder to pull against it. A few stars swam in his vision and he knew that he would not struggle for much longer. Konatsu took one hand off of the creature on his face and groped on the ground for the Ninjato that he had dropped. He cut his hand on something sharp and then took the whole blade in his hand. With darkness closing in even more rapidly he shoved the blade right into and through the creature that was on his face.

Konatsu screamed in pain as acid ate away at his once beautiful features and then he felt another sharp pain in his stomach. He looked over and saw one of the black aliens impaling him with its tail. He swung his sword again and cut off the tail. The creature hissed at him, but he merely shrugged and decapitated it. After that he examined his wound. Realizing that it would most likely be fatal in these circumstances Konatsu picked up his second sword that was lying next to the wall and waded into combat again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The predator with red ties in his hair fought on knowing that he might die in this hunt and yet treasuring every moment. His blade sang as it slashed into one large alien and made acidic blood spurt out. He grinned at that and continued his onslaught against his prey. Then he saw Ukyou lose her sword and Konatsu trying to save the girl. He decided to help his hunt brothers and followed after them. He arrived in time to see the alien queen send Konatsu across the room and start towards Ukyou. He screamed in protest and attacked.

He shoved his Naginata into the Queen's side and she reached out and grabbed it with one hand. She pulled the weapon out of herself and picked both the weapon and him up. So, the predator let go of the weapon and the Queen flung it across the room while attacking him with her tail. The predator dodged out of the way and unsheathed his claws. The Queen attacked him with her claws, teeth and tail and the predator was hard pressed to fight against her with only his claws. He dodged and spun away from attacks left and right until the Queen hissed again and brought her children into the fray.

The predator was hit from behind by one of the smaller aliens and then brought to the ground as three more landed on top of him. He was brought to the ground struggling against his fate. He felt pain as the creatures on top of him impaled him again and again, but he fought on trying his hardest to reach the panel on his wrist. His hand came closer and closer to the panel when suddenly both the panel and his wrist were gone. Green blood spurted from the stump and then his hand was held before him in a large black hand. He looked up and could swear that the alien Queen was laughing at him as he died. His final vision was of the young earth girl he had tried to save: She was lying on the ground next to him in her white ceramic armor; breathing slowly and evenly as if asleep; then he saw the Queen's tail start its descent towards her form…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The predator with green ties in his hair watched his alien brother go help the rest of the hunting group and then fought on. As he fought and killed prey he practically smiled. This was the glory of the hunt; this was the battle that every Yautja wanted to feel. Alone and surrounded he knew that only his skills with his weapons would bring him out alive today.

Thousands of other battles and their glories came to his mind, but his reverie was brought short as the aliens devised a new strategy and tried to leap onto his back. One of them was successful and he swung at it with his claws as another jumped onto his back as well. He tried his hardest against this new onslaught, but he was being hurt now and was going to fall to the floor. If that happened he would be helpless against this prey. He struggled on fighting against the foes in front of him and desperately trying to dislodge the three aliens that were clutching onto his back.

Tails pierced his back again and again and stars swam in his vision. He missed a block and felt claws cut into his shoulder, and then he felt claws hit the back of his knee and it could no longer support his weight. He started to fall to the floor when heard someone yell something and then suddenly the weight was lifted from his back and pieces of the aliens were scattered everywhere.

From the floor he looked up towards the voice and saw a small red haired girl cutting down three more creatures with her claws. He stared at the claws in shock realizing that they must have been given to her by his race. She looked at him and then raised her arms and shouted that strange phrase again.

The predator's shock became awe as the vacuum blade went from Ranma's hands and cleaved through more approaching aliens. He stared at the girl some more as she said something else. He was not sure exactly what it was, but her motions seemed to indicate that she was looking for something.

He smiled to himself and realized that this girl must be the tribe leader. She was most likely looking for the hunting party that she had sent. With that idea in mind he slowly tried to pick himself up. He fell to the floor and the tribe leader looked at his leg. She said something again and then pointed to the sewer exit. He shook his head and then tried to get up again. This time he was able to stand by using his Naginata as a crutch.

With the human tribe leader next to him the predator felt a bit more confident and limped towards where he had last seen the rest of the hunting party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ranma wasn't exactly sure what this ugly alien was, but she had saved it and tried to explain that she was looking for Ukyou. The creature didn't seem to know what was good for it as it limped by her side, but it had motioned for her to follow it and then they waded into more combat.

Ranma dispatched a few more aliens and looked at her partner. After that conflict the thing was even more bruised and bloody and yet it still seemed to want to follow by her side. She sighed and continued on trying to keep the worst of the demons away from her strange new friend.

The two of them waded through the thinning horde of aliens and came face to face with the alien Queen. Next to the large Queen were two dead bodies that of creature much like the one Ranma was with and that of Ukyou Kuonji.

Ranma stared at his fiancée lying on the ground and she screamed. It was an incoherent scream of anguish and rage. Then it was over and the red haired girl slammed into the alien queen with her predator claws unsheathed. The queen brought her tail up to block and Ranma just continued intending to cut the appendage apart.

The claws however were unable to cut through the tail. The tail lashed and sent Ranma flying across the room towards more eggs and sticky goo. As the Saotome girl started to rip herself free the rest of the Alien horde in the room started towards her.

The predator with green ties in its hair watched the human tribe leader be thrown across the room and wondered why the claws had no affect on the alien queen. He did not wonder long though, because he had to block an incoming attack from the giant beast.

He grunted with effort as his naginata blade clanged into the clawed hand, but did not sever it. The queen attacked again and he parried another blow, then he threw his disk weapon at her head. The blade spun in a deadly arc towards the Queen's head, but she raised a hand and caught the weapon. Thinking she was distracted the predator attacked, but the queen just turned his attack aside and slammed her tail home into his shoulder and knocking him to the ground. He rolled across the ground avoiding another claw attack and tried to stand up. He stood, but his injured knee gave out almost immediately when he blocked yet another attack by the Queen.

The predator made a decision and backed away from the Queen pressing some buttons on his arm….
