Chapter 4: Project XP
Roe'han
woke up to someone moving around near him. He cracked an eye open
Anthony had the nerve to sneak into the room. Roe'han smelled that
Alexus had her full strengths back. He purred into her ear knowing
she knew what he was saying. She purred back and shifted into his
arms. His head jerked up at what she purred to him. Anthony knew they
were awake now.
"So the both of you are awake?" he said
smugly.
She purred to him informing him that something wasn't
right. He only nodded in understanding. Anthony was getting pissed
about being ignored. Without thinking Anthony moved closer to the
pair and tried to get at Alexus. The Predator snarled.
"I
suggest you leave before I get and let my blood kill you."
"Your
blood is still inactive."
"I wasn't talking about my blood
in my veins. I meant my blood, as in my mate."
She slowly rose
from where she was sitting allowing Roe'han to get up. "He
strength is great even without his weapons."
Roe'han stomped
forward to make himself as threatening as possible. Men in black
suits came rushing in. They all had guns and they shot Roe'han. He
realized they were trank darts. He wrapped his arms around Alexus
every time they shot he took the dart instead of her. His movements
were getting sluggish.
"Roe'han stop, please," she pleaded
in the predator language.
"I'm not going to let them hurt you
or our child."
Tears began to stream down her face.
"Enough!"
Anthony yelled. "I want the girl unharmed. She's carrying
Predator blood within her now."
The men in black backed away.
Roe'han was getting dizzy. His legs were getting weak. Suddenly
they would support him anymore and he crashed to his knees. Alexus
went down with him. He stroked her hair and tried to give her a smile
but her tears stopped it.
"Mate... mine..."
"I know.
Roe'han..."
Anthony waved to his men to get Alexus. Roe'han's
grip on reality was slipping. The men stepped closer causing Roe'han
to roared dangerously. His grip on her tightened. The men were able
to grab hold of her and drag her out of Roe'hans
grasp.
"Roe'han!"
He tried to get up but failed to do so.
He watched helplessly as they dragged his mate away from him. The
smell of her tears made him try again and again to rise. Darkness
finally took over his senses.
With Alexus...
Alexus
kicked and fought against the men as they dragged her away. She
watched as the proud Predator fall into darkness.
"Roe'han!"
"Stop
screaming Alexus with as much tranquilizer as he has in his system he
can't hear you. Besides he will pay for what he has done."
She
was dragged to a white room and chained up in a corner. The chains
had her sitting down with her hands above her head. Not to long after
they dragged Roe'han in and managed to get him up on the surgery
table. The men in black left. Alexus was left alone with Roe'han's
unconscious form.
Three hours later...
Men
in white lab coats came in. Alexus's eyes narrowed as she snarled
dangerously. One of the men was Adrian Star, the head of Project Zero
AP.
"Ah Project Zero. Thought you got rid of me did you?"
She
only snarled. Anthony walked in beside Adrian. The scientist wrapped
his arm around the boy. "I see you've met my son."
The
scientist turned to poke and prod her mate. While their backs were
turned she came up as far as she could and bit her hands drawing her
acidic blood. Due to her Predator and Xenomorph heritage her teeth
were sharp. She sat back down and let her blood work it's magic.
The iridescent green blood dripped down her palms onto the metal. It
began to eat away at the chains. The blood wasn't working fast
enough. They began to cut his tanned spotted skin.
"We've
administered the ant-tranquilizers and he's not waking up."
"Then
let's just work on him. He's strapped down so he's not going to
move."
Tears began to fall again.
"Roe'han," she sobbed
into her up raised arm. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect
you."
"Stop crying you big baby," Anthony snapped without
even looking at her.
The fool had her katana strapped to his back.
As if that idiot could really use a blade like that. That
blade was created to withstand any and all poisons.' she
thought darkly. Finally the chains gave way. Slowly rising to her
feet she crept over to Anthony. She drew the blade without him even
realizing it and drove it into his father's heart. The blood
sprayed all over her. A vicious smile graced her features. Blood lust
was in her eyes, but it wasn't in complete control.
"That's
for the pain you caused me and my mother."
The other scientist
huddled into a corner.
"What's wrong with him?" she
snarled.
"We don't know," one scientist stuttered. "He
won't wake up."
Suddenly something heavy slammed into her. Her
katana slid across the room and landed under the surgery table.
Turning she saw Anthony. His eyes were glowing a deep green. Alexus
snarled at him.
"So I guess you were a test subject just like me
huh?"
"No, I am the ultimate project. I am half Xenomorph and
half Predator. Stronger and more Elite."
"Then why did you
subdue my blood if you could withstand it?"
"Part of the
deception my love."
"I am not and never will be your
love."
She leapt for him and he her. The two of them crashed in
midair. Their claws left deep gashes and their blood was flung all
over the place causing the familiar hissing sound. Alexus threw
Anthony into the wall and turned to the scientist.
"Get him and
yourselves out of here our blood will kill you."
The one that
had been bold enough to speak before nodded and began to push Roe'han
on the table out the door. They shut and locked the door. The fight
continued.
Outside...
Roe'han
slowly came to and groaned. He couldn't move due to the restraints
but he could hear the fighting going on, on the other side of the
wall. One of the scientist looked his way as he struggled.
"Where's
my mate?" he asked.
"She's fighting Project XP."
He
came over and unbuckled the large Predator against his fellows better
judgment. The Predator sat up and swung his legs over the side.
"Why
are you helping me?"
"We started this mess and you need to
help her finish it. Besides you spared my wife."
"The woman
who let us go?"
"Yes."
Roe'han staggered a bit but
watched the match through the one way mirror. His anger was mounting
as he watched the two of them fighting. Their blood splashed
everywhere. Anthony threw Alexus into a wall and she didn't get up
or even move.
"Alexus?"
She can't hear you
Predator,' Anthony's mind voice rang in his head. You're
mate and child will be mine.'
Roe'han's eyes dilated to
show his intense anger. The scientist guided him to the door and let
him in. The door was slammed behind him. Roe'han growled
dangerously. The two males began to circle around each other. They
were like a pair of wolves each wanting to be alpha male and control
the alpha female. Roe'han ignored the other male and went to
Alexus's side. Her heart was still beating.
"Don't turn your
back on me Predator."
"You hurt my mate and my child."
Anthony
leapt forward. The two males crashed together and hell broke loose.
Alexus
slowly came to. Her first thoughts were for her mate. A glint of
silver caught her attention her katana was kicked in her direction
she caught it. Slowly standing up she let her body balance itself
before she leapt forward when Anthony's back was to her. The sword
went strait through his heart. Anthony's blood splattered all over
the ground. Roe'han had enough sense to back away when she drove
the sword into his heart. Anthony turned and hit her so hard she hit
the wall. A dull wet crack was heard as she hit the wall. She lay
still on the ground. Anthony collapsed with a weak laugh.
"Alexus?"
Roe'han said desperately.
(you know I could be cruel and stop it right here... but I'm a nice person so I won't make you wait.)
Roe'han staggered over to her side. He collapsed beside her. The scientist rushed in with a lady that wasn't there before. They managed to get her away from Roe'han telling him they were going to help her. He sank down against one of the white walls and waited. He didn't even feel like taking Anthony's head for a trophy. Any other Predator would have due to the fact that this man hurt his mate while she was pregnant with his child.
Hours later...
The
female doctor walked in.
"We did what we could for her Predator.
We will see soon enough if our efforts were enough."
Roe'hans
head drooped.
"Do not fret Predator she's a strong girl. If
her pride isn't enough to keep her alive then you are."
"Thank
you."
The woman walked over to Anthony's body and yanked
Alexus's blade out of his body that was going through the floor due
to the acid.
"We had to subdue her blood to work on her."
"What
about the baby?"
"The child is unharmed. If you mate doesn't
wake up when the time comes we will have to remove the
child."
"She'll be awake by then."
"You can see her
now."
He slowly rose to his feet. The woman handed Roe'han the
katana. She walked down the hall. The woman lead him to a small room
that held his mate. Alexus was hooked up to a bunch of machines. He
leaned against the nearest wall and fell asleep.
