Slash's ship landed in front of her hive. Slash stepped down to be greeted by most of the hive.
"Go to the back room and take the host bodies into the hive," Slash said. The aliens nodded and hurried into the ship. "Don't touch the camara," Slash called after them. Kitty walked off the ship and walked up to Slash. Breaker followed him carrying a dog body. "Breaker bring that body into the nursery," Slash said. Breaker nodded and moved into the hive.
"So this is your hive?" Kitty asked.
"Yes," Slash said.
"It is very large. How do you control of them?" Kitty asked.
"I killed their last queen so none fight back," Slash said.
"You killed one of your own kind?" Kitty asked startled.
"I have killed many traitor queens, she simply wouldn't allow me passage to exit her hive," Slash said. Slash stepped into the hive and moved down to the queen's room. She turned into her queen form and crawled up the wall. There she dug a large hole in the wall. "That is your room," Slash said. Kitty flew up to it and judged it.
"It will do for now," Kitty said.
"Kitty!" Dragon said waking up. Kitty used his tail to lift Dragon out of the pouch and onto his back. Suddenly a cry rang through the hive. Slash jumped down and ran to where the cry came from. There she found the human that had the gun crying out in tune with the child within him. Their cries combined and were making a high pitched squeal.
"Hush little baby," Slash purred. The child slowly stopped screeching. The human looked at Slash.
"Please I beg you kill me," the human begged. Slash lifted her tail and slammed it through the man's head. Spike walked up to her and licked some of the blood off her tail. Slash froze up.
"Slash what is wrong?" Spike asked licking her tail again. Slash's tail twitched. In an instant it curled up around Spike.
"You know what that does to me," Slash purred.
"Yes I do," Spike said. Slash pulled Spike closer and put her head close to his.
"And I know what this does to you," Slash said as she started to purr. It was Spike's turn to freeze up. Slash removed her tail and slowly backed away. Slash crawled onto the ceiling and blended into the shadows. Spike slowly started moving. He looked around and stared at the spot where Slash was. He slowly started moving toward her. Slash stayed as still as she could. Spike made it to her and he climbed on top of her.
"Slash," Spike purred. Slash started crawling back to her room. She kept freezing up as Spike placed his hand in different places. Finally she got to her room. They moved into the shadows. There they situated themselfs and slowly drew out each others pleasure. Finally they collapsed onto the floor.
"You are truly my king," Slash panted. Slash then returned to her normal form and moved away from Spike.
"What is wrong?" Spike asked.
"The hive is too quiet," Slash said.
"Your right," Spike said. Slash stepped out of the room and ran for the entrance. Spike followed behind her. They made it to the entrance and looked out to see most of the hive fighting a large group of humans. Slash moved forward rushing straight into the fray.
"Kitty! Dragon! Sara! Breaker!" Slash cried. Slash jumped over one human that had gotten through and ran as fast as she could to where she heard a faint cry. She found Breaker with one of his legs twisted the wrong way. Sara was standing over him fighting off the humans. "Breaker! Sara!" Slash cried.
"My queen!" Sara cried blocking a blow from one of the humans.
"No one hurts my family!" Slash cried. Slash's wrist blades came out and Slash drove them through the human who was attacking Sara. She quickly pulled them back out and jumped out of the way of gun fire. While in the air she spotted Spike fighting some humans trying to get at a wounded Kitty. Suddenly Slash heard a cry.
"MAMA!" Dragon's voice rose above the chaos.
"DRAGON!" Slash cried. Slash quickly looked around and saw a human running back to their ship holding Dragon. "My baby!" Slash cried. Slash started running toward the human with Dragon. A large amount of humans got in her way. "You will not get between me and my child!" Slash cried ramming her tail through one of the humans while grabbing her spear and decapitating a couple of people. She quickly turned on her cloaking device and jumped over the people. She ran up to the person holding Dragon and cried, "Dragon bite him!" The man cried out and held out his hand with Dragon dangling from it. Slash grabbed Dragon and placed her in her pouch. She then ran back to where Sara and Breaker were. She deactivated her cloaking.
"My queen we are losing!" Sara cried.
"Not for long!" Slash said. Slash crossed her arms and cried out, "Goddess of Death, bless me with your power! Mother! Father! Sisters!" A giant light flashed down behind the humans. Everyone stopped fighting to look as the light faded. There stood Slash's mom, Scar, their hive, a vampire, a little girl, and a girl with flowing black hair. "Lily! Chi! Beth!" Slash cried, "Help us"
"Slash!" Beth cried slashing through some humans. Beth, Chi, and Lily ran up to Slash.
"What happened here?" Lily asked.
"I don't exactly know but my forces are being decimated!" Slash cried.
"Well I haven't had any good blood in a while, I guess I could help!" Lily said jumping on the nearest human and biting into his neck.
"This will be good practice," Chi said drawing a sword. Chi ran to where the humans had gathered and started cutting them down.
"You want them as hosts?" Beth asked.
"They are dishonorable they will not taint my hive with the children that would come from them," Slash said. Beth nodded and she started to float.
"Oh powers of darkness bless me with your glory!" Beth cried. A black light surrounded Beth and Beth dived into the brawl. Slash picked Breaker up. She then ran to the hive and put Breaker down. She then ran out to where Kitty and Spike were. She helped Kitty stand and they moved to the hive. Slash then ran out to see the remaining humans being killed by Scar, and her mother.
"Slash!" her mother cried.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Slash cried running up to them.
"Grandma, Grandpa!" Dragon cried.
"Who is the child?" Scar asked.
"My daughter," Slash said.
"She is very beautiful," her mother said.
"She appears to have some predator blood in her that would explain why she is growing so slowly," Scar said scanning her.
"She is truly my daughter," Slash whispered.
"Mama," Dragon said curling up against Slash.
"My hive will help yours to rebuild the collapsed tunnels," Slash's mom said.
"What collapsed tunnels?" Slash questioned.
"The humans came with bombs and destroyed some tunnels at the entrance," her mom said. Slash looked at her hive and saw some holes from where the tunnels collapsed.
"They paid for their crimes with their lifes," Slash hissed. Spike walked up to Slash.
"We lost many children, but none of ours," Spike said.
"How are Breaker and Kitty doing?" Slash asked.
"They are doing well. Breaker is calling for you," Spike said. Slash nodded and went to where she left Breaker.
She put her hand on his head and asked, "How you doing"
"Not so good Mistress," Breaker thought.
"I shall heal you," Slash said. Slash moved her hands so they rested lightly on Breaker's wound. She started to mutter and a light spread from her fingers. Breaker's wound closed.
"Thank you Mistress," Breaker thought. Slash removed her hands as Beth walked in. Lily and Chi were behind her.
"They wanted to say good-bye before they left," Beth said. Lily and Chi walked up to Slash.
"See ya later sis," they said. They hugged.
"Later," Slash said as they vanished.
"So you have become more powerful," Beth said.
"Yes," Slash said.
"How powerful?" Beth asked.
"I can control my energy a little better and my life giving skills have become more acute," Slash said.
"Can you call upon your true powers yet?" Beth asked.
"Not yet," Slash said.
"I shall train you and your hive," Beth said. Slash smiled and hugged Beth.
"Thank you dear sister!" Slash cried.
"Come we had best see to that camara of yours," Beth said.
