Mindless Slaughter chapter 8

I don't own Aliens or Predators.

Slash was watching over the training. Beth was showing the aliens complex attack maneuvers and was putting the aliens into two groups.

"Slash I will need your help with the spell," Beth called out. Slash jumped down and walked up to Beth. "Hold out your hand," Beth said. Slash held out her hand and Beth put her hand above it. "Intuatonita protana," Beth said. A green haze floated onto the aliens. "Now then each group picks an area to defend," Beth said. Both groups of aliens moved to the opposite sides of the arena.

"What spell was that?" Slash asked.

"A spell that allows them to attack one another and not hurt each other," Beth said. "Now then fight!" Beth called out. The two alien groups started running at each other. They clashed and Beth turned to look at Slash. "What is is Slash?" Beth asked.

"I was wondering if I could select a few people to go on a hunt with me and you send us into the future?" Slash asked.

"Sure," Beth smiled. Slash walked to her room. She jumped up to where Kitty and Dragon were.

"Come on," Slash said putting Dragon in her pouch. Kitty stood up and followed her to Spike's room.

"What is it Slash?" Spike asked.

"We are going on a hunt," Slash said. They then found Sara and Breaker. They walked back to Beth and Beth looked them over.

"This is all you are bringing?" Beth asked.

"Yes," Slash said.

"Sure," Beth said walking outside. Beth then pointed at the air in front of her and a small ship materialized. "Get in," Beth said. They all piled in and Slash got to the controls. Beth then chanted a spell and the ship vanished.

The ship came out in space.

"Where are we?" Kitty asked.

"Around the planet Sitana, the year is 4002," Slash said tapping some controls. They landed on the planet. Slash cloaked the ship and they walked out. The ground shook and a giant came out of the trees.

"Interesting," Spike purred.

"Time to hunt!" Slash cried. Sara walked into the underbrush. Breaker moved after her. Kitty hunched down behind the giant's heal. "Spike get into the trees," Slash ordered. Spike hurried up. Slash then pulled out her spear. "Dragon you ready?" Slash asked.

"Yes Mommy," Dragon said gripping Slash's armor tightly. Slash nodded and jumped at the giant. She thrust her spear into the giant's stomach. Spike jumped out at the giant's face as it looked down. Sara and Breaker charged at its legs as Kitty slashed at the things heel. Their combined attacks forced the giant to fall over.

"He is nearly ours!" Sara yelled. Slash stood on the things chest and stared into its eyes.

"Goodbye," Slash said slamming her spear into the giant's heart. Slash then jumped down to the ground. "There has to be a human colony near," Slash said. They walked to the ship and Slash pushed some buttons. A map popped up. The computer shifted through the map zooming in.

"Human colony found," the computer said.

"Buckle up," Slash said. Everyone got in place. The ship took off and Slash aimed it at the human colony. The ship cloaked as it neared the colony. They docked and Slash slowly walked out. It was silent. Slash motioned for the others to come out. Slash slunk into the ventilation shaft. She moved to the control station. She jumped down and turned on the computer.

"Last journal entry," the computer said.

"The creatures have slaughtered everyone! I have managed to seal them in the safe room. I know I won't survive. If anyone gets this message don't go near the safe room!" the voice said.

"The safe room?" Slash looked. Slash quickly pulled up a map. She located the safe room. There was at least one warm blooded animal in there. "Everyone to the end of the rear hallway," Slash said over the intercom. Slash then headed down to the safe room. When she got there everyone was waiting around the door. Slash put her hand on the door but quickly pulled it back. "Hot!" Slash cried.

"You okay?" Spike asked.

"Yeah," Slash said. Slash released her wrist blades and slammed them into the door. Slash then ducked as flames shot out from the hole.

"What is in there?" Kitty asked. Slash picked up Dragon and handed her to Kitty.

"Stand back," she warned. Everyone backed up as Slash set up her cannon. She fired and quickly stepped back. A large shape came through the smoke. "Move!" Slash yelled as she jumped up. Everyone moved to the edges of the room. Kitty slunk down to the end of the hallway. A shot of flame came from the shape. It hit the wall next to Breaker. The smoke cleared and there was a large dragon. It was black with red eyes.

"Pretty," Dragon purred. The dragon turned to face her and Kitty. He took one step forward and Slash landed on its back.

"This will be fun," Slash said. The dragon noticed her on his back. He growled and spread his wings. He tried to bat her off him. Slash held on to the joints in his wings. The dragon tried to slam her into the wall but Slash held tighter. "Sara! Spike! Grab the tail!" Slash called out. Sara and Spike quickly jumped onto the tail and held on. Slash put one of her hands on the dragon's head. "What do you want to do?" Slash thought.

"Kill!" the dragon's thoughts shouted.

"I can help you kill," Slash responded. The dragon slowed its struggles.

"Why?" the dragon demanded.

"Because that is what I want to do as well," Slash said. The dragon stopped struggling.

"You kill?" the dragon asked.

"Yes, I kill. What is your name?" Slash asked.

"Draco," Draco said. Slash removed her hand the got off Draco. Sara and Spike got off Draco's tail. Kitty and Breaker walked up. Slash picked Dragon up and put her in her pouch.

"Everyone this is Draco, he will travel with us to help us kill," Slash said. Everyone greeted Draco and they went to the ship. The ship took off and Slash checked the map. "Lets see how Earth is doing," Slash said.

"What is Earth?" Sara asked.

"The humans original planet," Slash said. The ship quickly made it to a bluish planet. The ship landed. Slash stepped out and breathed in slightly. She started coughing.

"Slash!" Spike cried running out and handing her, her mask.

"Thank you Spike," Slash said putting it on. Slash looked down at Dragon to see her breathing slightly hard. "Sara get the extra mask!" Slash called out. Sara came out with a smaller mask. Slash put it on Dragon and the mask changed to match Dragon's face. Kitty, Breaker and Draco came out and could breath. "The air is bad for predators," Slash said.

"Aliens can handle a lot and it appears that Breaker, Draco and Kitty can handle it as well," Spike said.

"The masks help," Slash said. Slash stood up and started forward. Everyone followed her and they found the edge of the sea. Slash pulled out her spear and dipped the tip into the water. She quickly pulled it out to see the tip was slightly melted. "They polluted the planet," Slash said. Slash then opened her wrist computer. A map came up. Slash pushed some buttons and the map zoomed into a point about a mile from their location. Slash turned to look in that direction. "So that is where they are," Slash said. Breaker walked up to Slash. Slash got on his back and they started off. They passed a large amount of ruins. They finally found where the remaining humans were. The humans were in a building. Slash got off Breaker and opened the door. She slipped in and quickly closed the door. She creeped down the stairs. She walked over to a door. She peeked in and had to keep herself from gasping. The 'humans' were not looking human at all. They were more alien looking than Slash. They had tubes coming out of their faces. Their skin was purple and they had claws.

"Mommy what are those things?" Dragon whispered. The creatures twisted to look at Slash.

"Who are you?" one creature hissed.

"My name is Slash," Slash said.

"The thing you carry?" another moaned.

"My daughter," Slash said. One of the creatures came up. Slash scanned it and found it to be female.

"She is beautiful," she said. "What is her name?" she asked.

"Dragon," Slash said. "What happened to the planet?" Slash asked.

"War everyone dropped nuclear bombs on everyone. The only people who survived mutated greatly," the 'human' said.

Going to stop here!
