Kjon's Audio Diary Log

Aug 25, 2621

In the time that I'd spent living with Goliath and the Drukathi, they had me rest. I'm not sure how long I stayed with them, couldn't have been any more than a week or two I guess. Having defeated their leader in combat, spared his life, and their freedom, I was more than an honored guest, and not wanting to offend them, I graciously accepted. Besides, I needed a break. The Drukathi spared no expense for my comfort; if I wanted something I received it, and if not the punishment Goliath would give would be severe. Thankfully for them it never came to that.

I mostly just spent my time alone in the room they'd given me, or I was with Goliath. He was the only one who I could communicate with since none of the other Drukathi knew my language. He wanted to know about what had happened in the time since we'd last met, and I also took the time to learn their language. Needless to say it wasn't pleasant, but I took it as patiently as I could and paid attention. I was only able to learn the basics of their language, but it was enough according to Goliath, and afterwards I became a little more social with the Drukathi.

Although the stay with was a pleasant ,and definitely unforgettable experience, it couldn't last. I had to go back, the colonies needed to be protected. Goliath was a little disappointed, but he understood I had responsibilities to take care of. I did agree to stay one more night with them to rest before I left. As I did so...

I awoke in the Peaceful Forest of the Spirit World. Questions of what and why I was here began popping up in my mind, but I knew I would receive answers to them soon.

"Kjon." Mom spoke. I turned to see her. She still wore the beautiful sleek angelic dress I saw her wearing last time.

"Mom!" I exclaimed excitedly as I happily embraced her. She nuzzled my forehead with her mandibles lovingly as she hugged me.

"My sweet little suckling, it is so good to see you again." She said as she held my head up to absorb my image once more. Given how sudden this was I wasn't to the point of tears although seeing Mom again did make me choke up a little.

"It's good to see you too." I said as I held her tightly. Even for how much I'd grown Mom still dwarfed me, and she had to bend down a little in order to be at level height with me.

I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and turned to see my Hunter Siblings approaching.

"Michellle! Rich! Guys!" I exclaimed joyfully. "Ah, es beuno verte de nuevo ,mi Hermana." I said as I hugged my ooman sister for all she was worth to me.

"Me alegra de verte tambien ,Hermano." She replied with a gracious smile.

"Good to see you too, big guy." Will spoke.

"What's up ,Wacko. Rich? Taylor?" I greeted the rest of them.

"Paradise is nice. Sure wish you could be up there with us now." Taylor said with a short smile.

"You and me both ,bro. You and me both." Although I didn't didn't consider it to be so bad where I would kill myself, I still thought my life had very little value. "W-what are you guys doing here? What's going on?" I asked curiously noticing frowns beginning to form on their faces.

"I hate to say this Kjon but our visit is job related. We came to alert you about what's going on on KJ-147." Richard said with a focused look.

"Alert me of what?" I asked him.

"Of the dishonorables." A'rgr-lo answered in a agitated growl. He was standing beside Julia.

"The bad blood army you fought against before is back and they've begun invading the planet." Julia clarified in a focused glare of her own. "They've also allied themselves with Weyland and those Task Force slimebags. They've been herding the colonists like cattle and there sending them off to the slaughter house for impregnation."

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"It is true. See. They have also taken your friends hostage ,my suckling." She pointed down at the ground with an angry look on her face. There was an image of Ch'ris, Rachelle, Hadrick, and... Jenny! My heart sank into my stomach when I saw them imprisoned, but my shock quickly turned to anger. My rage intensified when I saw the image shift revealing ZELL-OAH! She was standing beside a massive purple super Yatja. Although I could not recognize him, his voice was unmistakable. BRICK! I saw the two of them lovingly nuzzle their mandibles together. I felt my claws stiffen and twitch angrily as they formed fists.

"THAT ALBINO BITCH, AND THAT WORTHLESS BASTARD!" I roared as I slammed my fist down on the image causing it to disperse into fog. "Sorry." I apologized, the unholy expression on my face did not leave though.

"Indeed. N'yaka-de has sent us to tell you of this. He wishes for you to save the colonists and to make trophies of them." A'rgr-lo said with a growl.

"What?" I asked a little perplexed.

"The Lord wants you to save his people Kjon, just like you have been." Rich told me.

"No I understand that, but the other part? Do you mean he's letting me kill?" I'd never taken the life of an ooman or a Yatja before, and judging by what A'rgr-lo had said it sounded as if that is what N'yaka-de wanted me to do. I'd made a promise never to kill an ooman ,ever, a promise which I'd extended to my own kind because of how similar we our species were.

"Yes Kjon. The Good Shepherd is asking you to do this." Julia answered. This was unheard of to me. I had made a promise to my Master that he was now requesting me to break. I wasn't even sure I could do so, especially not after what I did in New Hadley's Hope.

"N'yaka-de understands you've made a promise to him ,my pup, and he is pleased that you've kept it, despite all you have endured. But things are different now. N'yaka-de wishes for you to defend the colonists and your friends and to do away with the evil this army has brought ,permanently." Mom growled.

How could I do this? I would never harm an ooman being or a Yatja. I couldn't. I'd promised.

"We're sorry we have to ask you like this ,Hermano." Michelle apologized to me.

"You're the best man for the job." Julia said her face less focused.

"Somebody needs to do this." Taylor said.

They are right. Someone must do this. The colonists and my friends need me right now. I would not do it for the colonists, not after what they did to the marines, but I shall keep my promise and protect them. I shall do this for N'yaka-de and for my friends ,no they are not friends, they are family. Although they do not love me, I still love them! I will do this for them! As for the Bad Bloods, the Task Force, Zell-oah, Brick, Weyland... after everything they had done ,not just to me, but to the marines, the colonists, my family, Pyode!... I could tolerate the pain they had caused me, but for what they have done to them is unforgivable! They shall know pain just as I do. For the evil that they have caused, I will make them suffer for every last bit of it! Upon coming to this conclusion my answer was easy.

"Tell N'yaka-de it will be done as he wishes." I replied with an angry ,yet eager growl.

"Give unto the Tarei-bsans (Unworthy Opponents/Prey) Nan-deThan-Guan (The Kiss of Midnight) ,my sister's child." A'rgr-lo said with an evil smile and a low growl which I returned.

"Give em hell ,bro." Rich added with a cocky smile.

"Ve a patear traseros." Mitchelle said encouragingly.

"Show em how marines kick ass." Julia spoke.

"Do not stop ,Kjon. They deserve to die. For what they have done to you ,my sweet little pup. For what they have done to us all. MAKE THEM SUFFER AS WE HAVE!" Mom said. She didn't do a half bad Pamela Voorhees. Her words brought a short smile to my face.

"Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma"

That brought a smile to their faces.

I awoke to the sound of hulij-bpe vayuh'ta ,restless air. Not panic, but a definite uneasiness. My gaze narrowed. The time for rest was over. It was time to go back. It was time to Hunt.

As I departed I could hear the Drukathi. They were uneasy. They had just discovered what I had.

"Send for the Mighty One immediately! He must know of-." Goliath paused. "Mighty One!" He called. "Your kind has begun to lay siege upon your world! Your clan is among their ranks!" His voice was but a whisper to my blind ear. I only growled to acknowledge him. "Mighty One! Where are you going?!" To skin them and hang their bodies up like pigs! He called for me. I turned into the kehrite ,the training room. The Drukathi had kept my weapons there.

"Mighty One?!" Goliath continued to call for me. Again I did not reply. "Mighty One, there is an army of Yautja plaguing the huma-!" He informed me again. I silenced him rudely with a growl as I made a sequence of hand gestures. Goliath had taught me the value of his species signs as he'd taught me their tongue. I pointed out of the window of the ship, towards the planet, then made the gesture of Ic'jit (Bad Blood). I signed that I would return to the planet, before making a slashing gesture across my face ,the sign of battle and death, as he had called it.

"Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma"

A quiet passed us a moment, before he again addressed me. "I shall assist you Mighty One." I was puzzled. "I owe you my life ,Mighty One. We all do. Let us Hunt with you." His intentions were that of honor and of sport. I had given him his life when I had the chance to take it, and was offering it for the Hunt. He wished for the chance to claim his revenge upon Ph-rills for what he had done to him. My people had wronged him too, just as they had wronged me. After I had shown them my honor, they had smitten me, banished me, insulted me, called me an U'darahje (Abomination), and worst of all they had also smitten Mother for it too. We shared equal understanding. Together we would show them what a true U'darahje looked like.

"Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma"

I smiled and nodded in acceptance to his treaty. He returned the gesture.

Although the Hot Season had left the heat that it had brought with had not vanished, and with it had come the Ic'jit. They were not honorable sport, but for what they had done to the oomans I had sworn to protect there was sport to be made of them. Seldom have I been able to cherish the Hunt, find the thrill that my kind found in it. This would not be like those times. I would relish in this Hunt. For it would also be my last. But that was of little concern to me. It did not matter whether I lived or died. I had a task, a Hunt ahead of me, and I would enjoy every moment of it.

"Ki Ki Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma"

For you Mother.

Done with yet another chapter finally. Sorry this one took so long to get to, I've been busy with school for the past couple days, and I had a bit of trouble with this entry, but I'm finally getting to the climax. It's been a long time coming and I'm excited for it. Also Thank-you again NeverNeverGirl for the comments. I'm glad you're still enjoying the series, and I promise I will get to the next entry as soon as possible. Also just a note, "Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma" Is Jason Voorhees' chant, it means Kill Kill Kill Mom Mom Mom, and since Kjon is partially doing this for his mother, and since he likes the Friday the 13th movies I thought it would be nice if I made him chant it himself. Anyway, Thank-you for reading, and I'll get the next entry out as soon as I can.
