Kjon's Audio Diary Log
The whole undergrowth was alive. Everywhere you looked they were there, screeching and screaming, climbing over each other, flowing through the jungle like a black flash flood. I'll be honest the sight terrified me. I wasn't afraid to die. But what about everyone else? I asked
The others had done their best setting up the defenses, making sure that line was secure and that the colonists were safe, but would it be enough to stop this. I hadn't seen a swarm this big since Crimer's Ridge ,and ,needless to say, those reminders weren't helping matters much. Could they fight that? Hell, I couldn't even fight this like I thought I could. The only place I had any room to fight the shadows were in the trees, but even then I couldn't stop or slow down. I had to keep moving or else they'd get me. And God help me if I fell! I thought about going back for them, but I couldn't. Besides what would I have been able to do to help turn the tide. It was painful to think about, knowing I couldn't go back and help, but I had to accept that. But that didn't mean I couldn't do nothing. If I could make it to the hive and detonate my wristbracer in the epicenter, that would give everybody else the chance they needed. The only one stopping me would be Weyland. Fuck him!
Eventually I was able to make it to the hive. It was one of Weyland's facilities. The place looked no different from the any other facility except for the addition of a small skyscraper looking structure on the side of it. How nobody had seen this, I don't know, but I digress. Getting in wasn't very hard actually, which surprised me, considering the fact this was the hive. Not that there weren't any shadows there, there were still a lot, but not nearly as many as I'd expected, especially for a hive this size. Weyland. This had to be him. He knew I was here, and he wasn't going to let me stop him. He was probably just making it look easier for me. I made a note of that as I went deeper into the facility.
I knew their had to be a underground area in this facility that would be perfect for a queen. I was able to find an elevator shaft that could lead me there, but guessing by the condition everything had been left in, I guessed that the shadows had destroyed the elevator car on their way out. I pried open the elevator doors poked my head down, and easily determined it was too far down for me to jump. "This is gonna hurt." I said to myself before leaping forward. I grabbed on to the cables, and began ridding them down. My hand and thighs didn't think that was a very bright idea.
My decent was suddenly halted when I fell into an elevator car. I was a little surprised the thing was still working, especially after I came through the top. "Going somewhere?" Weyland's voice came in through the elevator intercom. I didn't answer. I continued ascending until I reached the top of the facility. I didn't wait for anything and blindly charged out of the elevator. Nothing was there.
After making my blind attack I began scanning the area. I was at the top of the building ,in the skyscraper, I mean. It was a spacious architectural beauty, laden with fabulous Japanese/English designs. The place was held up by several large smoothed stone pillars ,granite, if I had to guess. The room also had several other offices around it made almost completely of glass, everything except for the flooring. In a way, the place sort of reminded me of Nakatomi plaza from Die Hard. The place had also been spared, quite literally, there was no evidence of hive resin or damage anywhere. Not yet at least.
As I slowly scanned my surroundings, I was suddenly smacked away by a shadow's tail. I got back to my feet as quickly as I could, but not quickly enough, as my attacker drop kicked me in the face. The blow sent me flying through one of the glass offices, almost causing me to fall out of the building entirely, but I managed to catch myself.
"Kjon Schaefer. As I live and breath." Weyland began as I pulled myself up. "I must admit I'm not surprised to see you're still alive ,given everything you've been through. But I must give credit where it's due, you truly are one relentless, tenacious son-of-a-bitch." Weyland clapped his hands in adulation. As he spoke I took in his new image. "But if you thought I'd let you destroy everything I've worked so hard to build, you were gravely mistaken."
"Wasn't expecting you to let me do shit." I responded. "Looking pretty good Weyland. Really is true what they say about owners taking the characteristics of their pets."
"Funny." He said blankly.
"Hey, I can't help that you're a ugly piece of shit." I said jokingly with a smile.
"Still the same immature disrespectful creature you always have been."
"Never heard that one before." I said sarcastically.
"I'm sure." He replied. "But if were going to be throwing insults, I must say you look much better than you did the last time I saw you." He said with a smirk.
"Thanks. Your old buddy ,Massey did this to me. And this was from Spears." I mentioned pointing at my missing left eye sarcastically.
"Yes, they can make a real mess when they want to, can't they?" Weyland continued.
"You tell me."
"Well for as bad as you look, you're 'Hunter Siblings' must look a hell of a lot worse than you do right now, don't they?" He smirked. That struck a nerve. Weyland laughed when he saw my expression. "And come to think of it, the only person who'd still think you're handsome is that hideous mother of yours." He continued. That one made me want to kill. How dare he Mom hideous!
"Hate to cut the banter short Weyland, but I've got a job to do. And you're in my way." I said clenching my fist angrily.
"Straight to the point as always. Very well. If that's how you want it, Schaefer." He said as he stripped off his suit and shirt, exposing the rib like exoskeleton underneath. "Get him." He said. That's when I heard the screeching. Shit!
Two shadows leapt down at me from the pillars. I rolled forward before spinning back around, cutting them both down as I moved. Immediately afterward, I was tackled by another shadow. The creature had me pinned, and tried to head bite me, but I managed to move my machete under it's midsection and dissect it. I forced the shadow off just in time to dodge Weyland's tail, which he tried to stab me with. I foolishly grabbed on, and he ripped me back, slammed me to the ground, and threw me off. I slammed into one of the pillars, the force knocking the wind out of me. A shadow was on the pillar right above me. It tried to grab at my face, but I dodged. As it went for another attack I grabbed my smart disc, and sent it into the creature's face.
As I got back to my feet three more xenos charged me. The first one leapt at me, but I managed to throw it forward. I cut the second one down with my machete, and the third I decapitated with my smart disc. I spun back around and threw my smart disc at the one I'd thrown, killing it, and managing to cut another one that was behind it in half too. As I reached forward to catch my weapon, I was tackled from behind by another shadow. Before the creature could head bite me, I sent my elbow into it's face, dazing it long enough to move my right arm to cut it's right forelimb off. The creature screeched in pain as it recoiled back. That gave me the chance to roll over and kick the creature away, right as Weyland materialized beside me. He effortlessly lifted me up with his boney claws, before slamming me down. He went to stab me with his tail, but I rolled away in time.
Before I could retaliate, another shadow rammed into me. I grabbed onto the creature's ridged head, lifted it up, and slammed it down on another xeno that tried to help it. Sensing another one behind me, I spun around sending my machete into it's face, almost completely decapitating it at the jaw. As I attempted to remove the blade from the shadow's skull, I was smacked away by Weyland. He continued his attack by clawing at me, but I managed to force him back by swiping at him with my machete. After I did that though, he sent his tail into my already broken leg, thankfully missing the bone as he did it. I grabbed his tail, tore it out, and forcefully threw him away.
A shadow then tried tackling me from behind, but I was able to catch it and throw it into another shadow. Immediately after I did that, another shadow took a swipe at my back, sending me forward. I spun back around to cut at it, but missed. The creature retaliated by smacking me in the face with it's claw. As it went to make another attack though, I was able to cut under it's stomach with my machete, forcing it down. Not one second after that happened, I was forced down by three shadows. Two of them held me down as one began tearing into me. Thankfully my armor was able to protect me from any severe damage. I managed to move my feet underneath of it and kick it back. The one holding my left arm tried finishing me with it's tail, but I was able to fight my right arm out of the other monster, and impale it in the head with my machete. Instinctively kicking the other one away, I got back to my feet as fast as I could and ran dodging the shadows as best I could as I retreated.
I ran over to one of the pillars, where my smart disc had imbedded itself, grabbed it, and brought it down on a shadow's skull. After tearing it out, I spun around, throwing the weapon at the few shadows that followed me. After doing so though, a shadow slammed into me, forcing me against one of the pillars. The creature kept my right arm locked so I couldn't move it around, and it attempted to stab me in the head with it's tail. I turned my head, causing the creature to miss. The creature's tail ended up getting stuck in the pillar, but that didn't stop it from trying to head bite me. I brought my fist to it's face, but that did little to force it off. Right as the creature was about to make another attack with it's tongue, my smart disc returned to me. I was able to catch it, and used it to cut off it's left arm. The creature recoiled, briefly giving me the chance to bring my smart disc up, cutting it at the torso vertically. As that happened, four of them came charging towards me. I threw the corpse at them, managing to knock one away and slow another one down. The first one jumped at me, but I was able to catch it and throw it away. The second one tried to tackle, me but I side stepped. I grabbed onto it's tail and used it to swat away two other shadows.
One of the shadows charged into me, and briefly struggled with it. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back. One of them had stabbed me with it's tail. I gave a challenging roar, as the creature did that. After the monster pulled it's tail out of me, I threw the one I was grappling with at it. Immediately after that, another one lunged at me, clawing me in the back, causing me to stagger forward. Another one took a swipe at my face. I tried to recover, but another one took a swipe at the back of my leg sending me to the ground. The creatures were beginning to swarm me, each one jumping in to make a move, before another one came in after it. This continued until one of them knocked me to my knees. Another one came in to attack from behind, but before it could reach me I kicked it away. Another two charged at me as that happened, both coming from two directions. Just as they jumped, I threw myself back, causing both of them to slam into each other. Another one tried to take my head off with it's tail, but I managed to cut it off before it could.
As I got back to my feet, I felt two boney claws grab me by the shoulders. It was Weyland. He effortlessly picked me up and threw me away. A shadow came at me from the right on all fours. Before the creature could do anything to me, I took it's face off with the machete. It distracted me long enough to allow Weyland to grab me by the feet, and throw me again. This time I hit one of the pillars face first. As I recovered, he grabbed ahold of me again and began ,repeatedly, slamming me into the pillar. Once he was finished he smacked me away. As I spun around to retaliate, I felt his tail slice into my torso. The cut wasn't deep, but it still caused me to recoil, allowing him too kick me in the jaw. I tried to swing my right arm at him, but he ducked. I tried again with my left, but he side stepped. He managed to catch me by the wrist, and skillfully threw me over his shoulder. He held onto my arm, which he skillfully twisted around my back, before kicking me in the back of my knee forcing me down. I was a little surprised that he knew how to fight like that.
I noticed he was about to ram his tail into me. I moved my leg up and pushed back, knocking him down. This gave me the chance to free my arm and retaliate. I quickly popped back to my feet and threw him over my shoulder, just like he'd done to me. I tried to finish it, by ramming my machete into him, but before I could, a shadow intervened, ramming into me and throwing me forward. I kicked the creature back as it jumped on me, but another one was on top of me shortly after. The creature grabbed me by the arm and threw me back. I went through the elevator doors, and found myself back in the car, where three shadows were waiting. I grappled with two of them while another took out the cars cables. I was able to dispatch the two, but before I could deal with the last one, I saw that it was almost finished tearing through the cables. I leapt back out just in time to see the car drop like a screeching rock, along with the shadow that was on it.
Before I could do anything else, Weyland picked me up and slammed me down on the ground. He kicked me away as I slowly tried to get back up. As I tried getting up, he charged, attempting to stab me with his tail as he did so. He was too fast, I couldn't react quickly enough to avoid it. I ended up sacrificing my other hand to protect me from his tail. The thing went through my hand easily, thankfully it didn't go any farther.
"You're slower than you were before." He said tearing his tail out of my hand before smacking me in the head with it. "Tired, aren't you, Schaefer?" He asked, before picking me up and throwing me into one of the glass offices. "It's a shame, isn't it? You've come so far, only to come up so short." He said as he approached. I struggled to lift myself up, but was too slow to do so, as he lifted me up and slammed me down on the desk in the office. "You know, Schaefer, despite what you might be thinking right now, I really haven't had fun toying with you like I have been. Personally I never did." He spoke as I tried backhanding him. I was too slow and he easily dodged. He then grabbed ahold of me and threw me in the office, right of the one we were in. "I wanted to kill you in the worst way, but you were still useful to me back then. Even though I couldn't control you like I wanted, you were still valuable to me." He said backhanding me as I tried to stand back up. "But no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, you always reminded me of the trouble your people put me and my predecessors through. We lost so much because of you!" He said as he held me down and began to choke me. "We could have had control of the perfect organism, but because of your species and their foolish traditions we lost everything everytime we tried! Just looking at you reminded me of how much pain your kind put my family through! But I was able to tolerate that. Even though I wanted to kill you everytime I saw you, you were still worth something to me. But no matter what I did you were always in my way! You and Hadrick!" He explained before slamming me into the window wall. The glass behind me broke easily, and I found myself staring down the edge of the building as glass and water droplets began showering on my face. "Out of all of the marines I had to deal with, you two were the only ones I couldn't be able to get rid of so easily, and because of that I've lost so much over the years!" He said angrily staring down at me. There was nothing I could do to retaliate, he had his tail coiled around my right arm, he was stepping down on my left arm, and he held me by the throat. I tried to force him off but I was too weak to. I even tried kicking, but that was even less effective. His features softened as he looked into my eye. "Although, for all the heartache you've caused me, you were the only marines who ever really were a challenge to me. That's something no one else has ever done before. Just by your wit alone you managed to not only survive everything I threw at you, but even manage to fight it back." He continued as his grip on my throat tightened. I could feel his claws digging into my skin. "I may hate your guts more than anybody else, but damn if you didn't have any guts at all. So be it. You didn't go down without putting up one hell of a fight, and although I hated every minute of it, I must say it was an honor." He continued letting out a short laugh. "But for as meaningful as it all is, none of it matters, just like this pathetic crusade of yours. But for what it was worth though, your mother, if she were still alive would be utterly disappointed by the disgusting failure I see in front of me right now. You went so far and did so much to regain your honor and save all those you could, but yet you've fallen so short. You've lost, you pathetic worm." He finished.
"Y-Y-You...r-r-really...t-think...I...g-give a...sh-shit...a-about...t-that?!" I asked him, struggling to talk as he continued choking me. There was a brief pause. My struggling became weaker. I was losing too much air.
"You're right. This has gone on long enough." He said. "Anything else you'd like to add?" He said as he prepared his tail.
"Y-Yeah... You forgot about something..." I told him.
"And what would that be?" He asked.
"...What about Jenny?" I asked.
"What?!" Weyland queried ,perplexed. This brief distraction gave me the opportunity I needed to throw my legs around his throat and throw him off of me.
"What about me and Jenny?" I asked as we both got back up. "You know, gone for four months, she was with me the whole time? You seemed really pissed about that, but you didn't mention anything about it the whole time you were kicking my ass." The topic clearly caught his attention, and I could tell he was not having fun with it. "If you're going to bring my mother into this, fine. How's about we talk about Jenny? Now, with all do respect, she is not a bad girl. Actually, she's a pretty outstanding young lady. She helped me out a LOT while the both of us were gone, and I don't just mean hunting ,if you know what I mean." I said with a little bit of snark. Judging by the look on his face, he wasn't too happy to be reminded of that. Weyland growled aloud before charging. I kicked a board from one of the desks towards him, which he slipped on allowing me to gain a bit of distance between us as he recovered. "Now I can't say it was all fun and games. We went through some pretty rough shit, but I enjoyed every second I spent with her!" I said with a bright smile. Weyland's grey face began to grow redder and redder the more I spoke. He charged again, screaming as he did so. I pounced, leaping off of one of the pillars as I did so. "The training, the hunting, the interesting conversations we had, the numerous cuddle sessions, Oh! and did I forget to mention she taught me how to dance?" I asked. That got him seething. Weyland growled angrily as he came after me with his claws out. He tried to tackle me, but I ducked, caught him under the torso, and threw him forward. "What? I'm just telling the truth. She really did teach me how to dance. What's so bad about that?" I asked with a sarcastic smile.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Weyland cursed, giving a screech as he did so. He actually sounded a little like a shadow As he attacked I noticed he was slower than before. I was still exhausted, but he was less focused, putting more energy into each of his swings ,exhausting himself. Because of this, I could have time to dodge his strikes. That and he also kept the other shadows from attacking for some reason, probably because he wanted me all for himself. I calmly dodged each swing he made, before backflip kicking him, sending him to the ground. That gave me the chance to grab him by the tail and throw him. He went into one of the offices, crushing the furniture inside.
"You know Weyland, I actually wasn't all that interested in her at first. Not to say I didn't think she was pretty ,she's absolutely gorgeous if you ask me, but man did she take after you quite a lot. Boy oh boy! When we first met, we were at each others throats! But you know what happened? I actually grew on her. Yeah! I know! I couldn't believe it myself either! How could someone like her ever care for something like me? After all the shit we went through those first couple of weeks, that was the last thing I ever expected would happen. But you know what, it turned out I was wrong about her. She's nothing like you at all. She just didn't know any better because she has a liar for a father! I know that seems hard to believe, but she sympathized with me after I told her about all the shit you put me through, and after that her care for me only grew!" That pissed him off even worse than before. "She came to me! I didn't come to her, because even after we stopped fighting I still didn't want to be with her because I didn't want to lose anybody else. But she wanted me to be happy, and that's what she did! I just returned her kindness by showing her the same care she showed me, something nobody else could! I was in love with her! Hell, I still love her!" I explained enraging him even further.
"SHUT UP!" Weyland screeched as he clumsily swiped at me. I jumped forward, causing him to crash into the office behind me.
"You know, even for all you did to me, I honestly thought that you were a good father to her! But after everything I just saw, I have to ask you, what kind of a fucking father lies to their child, locks them up, and leaves them under the disciplinary care of a bunch of psychotic monsters like Zell-oah and Brick! You act like you care about her so much, but despite how protective you seem to be, to me, you don't show any signs that you love her like you say you do!"
"Shut... up!" He snarled.
"Awe, did I hewt the poowr wittle baby's ucky ducky fewwings?" I said in an annoying tone.
"I... SAID... SHUT... UUUUUUUUUP!" Weyland roared as he attacked me. I dodged each of his attacks easily. By the time he was finished he'd exhausted himself.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" I asked. He stared at me menacingly for a moment before turning to the shadows around us. They all began to look at me and hiss. He was going to have them swarm me again. "Hey, Charles!" I called.
"What!" he hissed.
"Come on, Weyland. Think! You know just as well as I do that's not the way to end it. I mean look at me. You've managed to kick my ass just fine without their help, and now after I've just given you the biggest reason for why you should tear me apart yourself, your going to make them finish it?" I asked. "Bull shit." There was a brief pause. The shadows didn't move an inch. "Come on, Weyland. Think about it. How much more meaningful would it be if you actually got to do it. After all the trouble I've caused. You know you don't want this. You want to see me suffer, cut your name into me, make me bleed. Think about that. To get rid of me all by yourself." I said as I slowly unbuckled my smart disc's sheath. I could see the thoughtful look in his eyes as he considered what I just said. He was interested.
He finally looked back at the shadows. They all hissed in compliance, before disappearing from the room completely. "I'm going to make you pay for deflowering my daughter!" He spoke clenching his claws angrily.
After they all left I painfully dug my claws into my right wrist, removing my machete from it. I gave it a brief look before throwing out of the building. "I expect nothing less than that." I said with anticipation. It was just me and him now. I'd finally get the opportunity to beat him alone. After everything he'd done to me, and my loved ones... I was going to enjoy this.
Weyland and I stood for a moment eyeing each other. The silence broke when he pounded his claws down on the ground and gave a screech. I returned by stomping my foot down and roared. He charged towards me on all fours. I side stepped, avoiding a swipe from his claws. He turned around and went for another pass. I side stepped again, this time bringing my elbow down on his back, slamming him to the ground. I picked him up by the throat, spun around, and threw him towards one of the pillars. He skillfully caught himself, before pouncing back off, and sweeping my feet with his tail. He went to stab me with it, but I rolled away just in time to avoid it. As I went to stand back up he swiped at me, cutting me across the torso with his tail. He spun around, attempting to smack me with his claw, but I blocked with my left arm. I followed by wrapping my limb around his, bending it. He retaliated by kicking me in the knee, sending a painful shock up my body. This allowed him to free his arm, grab me, and ram his skull into mine. He went to claw at me again, but I blocked again, this time with my right arm. I quickly sent my fist into his face, before grabbing my stump arm, and rammed my elbow into his torso.
He retaliated by swiping at my broken leg with his tail, forcing me down. He followed up by kicking me in the face with both feet. He then picked me up by the leg and slammed me down. I returned by kicking him in the stomach, forcing him down, allowing me to deliver another blow to his face. I quickly got back up and slammed my fist down on his face, forcing him to the ground. He made another attempt to stab at me with his tail, but I anticipated the attack and caught ahold of it, wrapping the prehensile appendage around my arm as I did so. Weyland took the opportunity to kick me in the groin, successfully knocking me to my feet. This allowed him to rip his tail back. It cut across my arm as it uncoiled, but I was still concerned with the heritage shattering blow. Weyland followed up by taking one of his claws and scratching me across the face. He then grabbed ahold of me and slammed me down ,face first, onto the ground. Before I let him do anything else, I sent my elbow into his gut, before bringing it up to his face, allowing me time to smack him away.
As I got up, he attempted to stab me with his tail. I blocked using my right arm, which it went into. Despite the damage, this helped me grip onto his tail as I swung him around, slamming him onto the ground repeatedly before throwing him away. I charged attempting to smash his head in with my fist, but he moved aside just in time. As I attempted to process that, he tore into the back of my head with his claws. I smacked him away with my stump arm. He went to take a swipe at me again, but I caught his wrist in my hand. I attempted to hit him with my stump arm, but he caught it. Before he could have a chance to stab me with his tail, I sent my knee into his gut, causing him to bleed a little from the mouth. He angrily retaliated by attempting to do the same, but falling a little lower, nailing me in the genitals again. After sending me to my knees, he scratched my right arm with his claws, before punching me. He then grabbed me by the face and threw me towards one of the glass offices.
He attempted to jump on me, but right as he landed on me, I put my feet up and threw him off, sending him forward towards the glass wall. He broke through and went falling off the building. I briefly looked down, but couldn't see him. I wasted no time on celebrating my victory, and began limping towards the elevator, initiating my wristbracer's self-destruct sequence as I went. Before I could finish, a immense pain shot up my body from my lower abdomen. I looked down to see a shadow's tail protruding through my lower abdomen. As the creature tore the limb out of me, I fell. The tail had nailed my spine, effectively rendering me paraplegic.
"Like I said. So close yet so far." Weyland. I had managed to throw him out of the building ,yes, I just didn't thrown him far enough. "This is for Jenny!" He snarled as his claws sunk into me, causing me to vomit blood. The pain was excruciating, and although I'd just been crippled in my legs, the fight wasn't over yet. I stared at the elevator shaft in front of me, then at my wristbracer.
"This is for Mom!" I spoke as I pressed the final button on the sequencer, loudly beeping as it began the timer. Before he could react, I tore the thing off and threw it towards the elevator shaft.
"No!" Weyland screamed as he tried to go after it. I wasn't going to give him the chance to reach it. Although I had disarmed myself, I still had an M4A3 on me just in case Weyland didn't make his shadows back off. I edged the weapon from it's holster, took aim, and fired. The shot hit Weyland in the lower back just above his pelvis. His lower body was limp, his screeching was excruciating. I'd also crippled his lower half. "No! No! What have you done, you idiot! You've doomed us both!" He hollered at me before trying to crawl his way to the elevator. I grabbed onto him by the tail and pulled him back. "No! Let go of me!" He cursed trying to force me off to no success.
"The damn thing's already started, we have seven minutes left! There's nothing you can do about it now!" I told him.
"No! No! No! No! NO!" He repeated pounding his fists on the ground in anger. I rolled over on my back and stared up at the ceiling. "I hope you're happy you incompetent moron! Now we'll both die!" He cursed me. I just ignored him. "Are you listening to me! You stupid son-of-a-bitch!" He continued. I didn't even get angry that he called me that, it wouldn't have mattered. Weyland crept towards me and attempted to claw into my face, but I caught him by the arm.
"Stop! Just stop! It's already too late! There's no sense in getting angry about it now!" I told him.
"You've ruined everything!" He cursed. Even though we were about to die soon, I was getting irritated by this. I at least wanted some peace and quiet before it was over. I twisted his arm and smacked him away. He tried to right himself, but I held him in place.
"There's no use complaining about it now Weyland! So just stop it already!" I roared as he weakly fought me back. He sneered back. He attempted to force me off again with an effortful screech, but was unsuccessful. He looked back over at the elevator shaft, before looking back at me. "It's over!" I told him with a low growl.
Finally ,pounding his hand down on the ground, he gave a agonizing scream of defeat. "GET OFF OF ME!" He screamed. I did as he requested. We both laid there on our backs for a brief moment of silence. "Are you happy now?!" He asked with a low hiss. "ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY NOW!?" He screeched.
"YES I'M FUCKING HAPPY!" I roared back.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE TO US BOTH!?" He hollered at me again.
"YES I FUCKING KNOW! AND THERE'S NO USE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TAKE IT!" I roared at him. He gave a snarled his, which I returned with a growl of my own, before the both of us pushed each other away. We stood there in silence again for another fifteen seconds or so. I pulled out a pack of Marlboros and a small lighter which I'd taken out of a small convenience store just before I'd left New Hadley's. "Want one?" I offered after taking a long drag of the one I'd just light.
"What the fuck are yo-?!" He hissed.
"Do you fucking want one or not?!" I roared. He made no reply aside from giving me a dirty look before snatching one from the box. I tossed him the lighter and he light it.
"Was it worth it?!" He sneered.
"Was what worth it?" I answered back, only because I didn't want him to have to get loud.
"When you were with my daughter, did you enjoy deflowering her?!" He hissed again.
"I did not have sex with her!" I growled back.
"Bull shit!" He snarled.
"Weyland, I promise you on my soul, I did not have sex with Jenny!" I growled.
"How can I believe you?!" He sneered. I didn't answer him, I just kept staring at him angrily. The features on his face eased as he realized I wasn't lying.
"Y-you didn't?" He asked again.
"I spent four whole fucking months with her! If we wanted to we would've done so! Didn't you even think to ask her that question?! Besides what would even make you think that I would've done that, she wasn't even pregnant?!" I replied frustrated.
"She can't get pregnant." Weyland said.
"What?"
"When her mother was pregnant with Jenny, the xenomorph embryo and her embryo fused together. She would've died prematurely had we not intervened. While we were operating on her, we accidently damaged her uterus. She can never have children." Weyland explained. I didn't respond. Jenny could never have any kids. That thought hurt me worse than anything else did. "You really do love Jenny." He said noticing the look on my face. I returned his response with an unpleasant glare. We sat there for another moment of silence. "Was Jenny happy, while she was with you?" He asked.
A smile creased around my face as memories of those months flooded back to me. Jenny's beautiful smile, her innocent laugh she made whenever I cracked a joke, the precious moments we'd spent together. Those were the happiest moments of my life. But now... "I... I don't know." I said my smile disappearing.
"Not after what I did?" Charles asked for clarification. I nodded. He rolled over on his back and stared up. I didn't need to see the look in his face to tell he was thinking. "I ruined everything for her, didn't I?" He said. "I've ruined everything for my poor little girl. I'm a horrible father."
"Don't beat yourself up too much about it, Charles," Yes, I actually said that to him, "At least you're not like my actual dad. Fucker just disowned me and Mom, even when I wasn't at fault for what happened." I said with a growl. I guess the only reason why I said that to him ,other than the fact that it was true, was probably because when it came down to it, even though we hated each others guts, we both agreed on the fact that we loved Jenny. "Hey, Charles."
"Yes." He asked.
"I take back what I said earlier. For what it's worth. You did do your best to raise her." I told him. I could tell he was taken aback by that. Believe me, I couldn't believe it either.
"Thank you, Kjon. Thank you." He said softly.
"Is there anything else special about Jenny?" I asked him after taking a drag from my coffin nail.
"She has negligible senescence. That means she won't die of old age. In fact she can't age past her maturity, so she'll be young and beautiful for ,well, ever." He answered.
"You know, beauty doesn't just run skin deep." I told him.
"Yes, you're right." Weyland said with a smile. "But she's my daughter." He added.
"Yeah." I said before taking another long drag, which I promptly coughed on. "She'll live a long life, but never have any kids. That sounds very lonely to me." I said.
Weyland's smile reverted to a frown when I told him that. "Hey, Schaefer."
"Yeah."
"Thank-you, for making my daughter happy." He said his smile coming back to him.
"You're welcome. If I could I'd go through all this pain a hundred times over just to see one last smile on her face." I said with a smile
"So would I." He said before another moment of silence hung over us. Suddenly a thought came to me and I began laughing. "What's so funny?" Charles asked.
"You know, while she and I were together... I had a couple of episodes... and you know how she dealt with me?" I asked struggling to speak as I snickered.
"How?" He asked.
"She just kicked me in the groin... I just now figured out where she got that from." I laughed.
Weyland also began laughing after I said that.
This continued on for a couple of seconds. Finally it ended, when this blinding blue and white light enveloped both of us. I didn't hurt at all or anything. In fact I couldn't even feel it. Then there was darkness...
Fucking Finally! Sorry that took so long to make. I got distracted quite a bit while I was working on this one, and I also wanted to do my best to make this final fight special since it's the last one in the whole series. Also, I'm very sorry NeverNeverGirl that this one took so long to get to. I hope you, enjoy it. In the next chapter I'll be beginning the resolution of the story, and we'll see just if Kjon's hard work pays off. Also thank-you for helping me get to this point, I honestly do think I could've done it without you.
