A cloaked satellite kept its orbit despite the Black Yautja blockade. Cloaked perfectly and never expected, it was able to transmit images and data to the Prince's pyramid. The Prince sent a signal through the satellite to Yautja Prime indicating a turning around in the war. A Yautja armada was soon assembled and sent off towards the moon at a speed faster than light.
During the flight towards the moon, the Prince briefed the admiral of the Yautja armada. Lex was made present to see these discussions but was not seen by the admiral. The admiral appeared older and bigger than the Prince. The Prince was in a league of his own among the Yautja. He was relatively shorter, lighter, and slender than his peers. Yet, he was as fast as a human trained in martial arts, and highly trained in weapons technology. Lex could not help but realize the hormonal boost she received upon seeing the Prince defeat those Black Yautja warriors.
"I have reason to believe that the Black Yautja have been severely diminished on the surface of the moon. My satellite has also determined that their ships have been reduced to a manageable level," the Prince began.
"How did you manage to defeat the Black Yautja while confined to your fortress?" the admiral asked.
"I unleashed the Xenomorph onto the moon's surface, and as I have predicted the Xenomorphs have successfully terminated their clans," the Prince answered.
"The use of Xenomorphs as a weapon is controversial on Yautja Prime. Your methods shall be deemed classified until approved by the Royal Court," the admiral said.
"Of course," the Prince allowed. "The Xenomorphs will kill every living animal on the planet, but then they will start to cannibalize themselves. It may take some time before new life forms can be replanted."
"That is unfortunate but necessary. It was important to keep the Black Yautja from using this system as a base. Fuel prices should go down upon the reconquering of this system," the admiral said.
"Keep me informed on your progress. I would like to return to Yautja Prime as soon as possible," the Prince ordered.
"As you wish, Sir. You have earned it," the admiral said and then signed off.
The Prince then turned to Lex. "The gas giant planet has some Helium Three, which can be used in our fusion reactors. Interestingly, there is a higher than expected concentration of Helium Three on Earth's moon, and from time to time we have mined there."
"Got it," Lex said not overly interested.
"We will be departing from this moon to Yautja Prime, as soon as the armada clears the system," the Prince informed her.
"What of the humans Royce and Isabelle? Are we just leaving them here to fend for themselves?" Lex asked.
"Still concerned for those two humans? You are welcome to hunt them down and bring them to the pyramid. Once they are on board my ship, I will transport them to another planet that is hospitable for them," the Prince allowed.
"You're not going to send them back to Earth?" Lex asked stunned.
"They know too much. The existence of our race, as well as the Xenomorphs, is not to be revealed to humanity," the Prince said coldly.
"I told them…," Lex muttered.
"You made promises you couldn't possibly keep," the Prince said sympathetically, and then took out a vial.
"What is that?" Lex asked curiously.
"This drug can revert your DNA back to human for a temporary amount of time. Bring back the skulls of those two humans, and I will give it to you. I will know whether you have brought the right skulls. We did a DNA scan on those humans before we let them go into the preserve," the Prince offered.
"You're a bastard," Lex cursed angrily at him.
"You care so much for these killers of men. How many humans have these ones killed during their lifetime?" the Prince asked.
"They should be put in prison. Maybe they can be rehabilitated," Lex suggested.
"I suppose we could place them in the zoo," the Prince said thoughtfully.
"You have zoos?" Lex wondered.
"On Yautja Prime, our zoo has a collection of animal species from all over the galaxy. Generally, we don't hold humans in these zoos, because they are attractive game. However, if the female were to be pregnant and the male were to be physically disabled then I think it would work," the Prince said.
"You can't just make it happen?" Lex asked.
"I have a reputation to uphold," the Prince objected.
"I am going to go find them," Lex said boldly.
"If you do, I would like you to test a new weapon I have developed," the Prince said and then took out what closely resembled a super soaker gun made of an acid-resistant metal. "It contains the acidic blood of the Xenomorph. It is useless against the Xenomorphs themselves but should prove deadly to any other life form."
The Prince handed her the weapon and Lex was tempted for a second to use it on the Prince's face. But no doubt there were Royal Guards in cloak that would immediately kill her. "Thanks," she said and walked off.
Lex went into the forest and used a hologram topography map to aid her. She figured the humans would try to take the high ground, so she began her hike towards the tallest hills in the valley. The Prince had placed a tracking device on her suit and was monitoring her movements. He realized that at their current pace, the Mutant and Lex would intersect.
"What are we going to do?" Isabelle asked.
Royce took a bite from the beast Isabelle had killed. "I don't know. Just survive I guess."
"What kind of life is that?" Isabelle wondered.
"It's the only one we got," he said simply.
"We have to get back to Earth somehow to deliver that information on Osama Bin Laden," Isabelle said.
"He'll eventually be killed or die of old age," Royce said dismissively.
"He killed over three thousand of your citizens," Isabelle reminded him.
"And we've killed twenty times that many in two countries, so let's call it square," Royce replied.
"You have no loyalties to anything or anyone. How did you get so fucked up?" Isabelle asked.
"I was part of a Special Forces unit, and every so often one of us would get killed. Sometimes it would be enemy fire, and sometimes it would be an accident. We weren't recognized for our service, there were no state funerals, and those we left behind were never told the reason for why we were gone. In 87, we lost five men in Guatemala, and no explanations were given. We were used as tools," Royce said bitterly.
"You volunteered for that, and you knew the risks," Isabelle countered.
"Don't you see? We're not alone any longer. There are alien races on planets all over the galaxy. They don't care if you're an American or an Israeli. None of that matters anymore, because they can do whatever they want to us," Royce said.
"You know what I think. I think you were sent out somewhere, and you did something you regret on orders. And you hate your country for making you do it," Isabelle said.
"How would you know something like that?"
"Because I had to do the same thing for mine."
Lex continued her hike even as it became night. She was most vulnerable now since the Xenomorphs didn't give off heat signatures. Eventually, she saw a heat spike on a hill. The only explanation was that it was a small fire in the distance. Believing the source to be her two humans, Lex continued her march.
The next morning, after sleeping in a tree, Lex continued her pursuit and found the burnt wood on the ground. She looked around only to hear the click of a gun. Lex deactivated her cloaking device, and put her hands up; she was terrible at this tracking business.
"Turn around," Royce ordered.
Lex complied showing herself to him, but he didn't recognize her with her Xenomorph armor. "It's the one from before," Isabelle said upon noticing her feminine shape.
"How do we know that?" Royce asked suspiciously.
Royce was suddenly thrown like a rag doll to the ground. Lex backed away, as she saw the Mutant advance on him. Isabelle quickly fired on the Mutant, but he healed immediately from the gunshot. The Mutant took her rifle and snapped it in two with his bare hands. Lex targeted the Mutant with her plasma cannons and fired on the Mutant. The shot missed the Mutant by an inch. He slammed down on Lex's shoulder damaging the plasma cannon and knocking Lex to the ground.
Royce got back to his feet and blasted the Mutant with shotgun shells until he ran out of ammunition. The Mutant was hit with a few dozen pellets but was healing quickly. Royce then got a broken-off branch and swung at the Mutant. The Mutant blocked the branch with his wrist shattering it. The Mutant then punched Royce to the face nearly knocking him out.
Lex used her cloak and snuck up behind the Mutant. She took out her acid rifle and sprayed it on the Mutant. The acid hissed violently on the Mutant's flesh. Lex squirted more acid on the Mutant, as he charged her. The Mutant caught her right arm and slammed down breaking it. Lex dropped her weapon and was hit hard to the face nearly cracking her mask open.
Pistol bullets suddenly slammed into the Mutant's head. The Mutant had been shot in the right eye but was still able to function. "What the fuck," Isabelle wondered.
Lex extended her blades and stabbed the Mutant to the side. He whirled around and backhanded her with his lower arm. Royce kicked the Mutant to the gut as hard as he could with little effect. Lex threw him her spear to defend himself with. The Mutant advanced on Royce, and the two dueled with their weapons. Royce worked to avoid the four-bladed arms of the Mutant but was getting cut none-the-less.
Lex entered the fight and the two attacked the Mutant from both sides. Still, the Mutant was outdueling the two of them. Both of them fell to the ground with wounds. Isabelle picked up the acid rifle and sprayed acid on the Mutant's abdomen. Royce kicked the Mutant's leg and Lex slammed into the Mutant with all her weight. The Mutant fell to the ground with a thud. Isabelle walked up to the Mutant and sprayed acid into the Mutant's face. The acid ate away the Mutant's skin until bone emerged. Royce and Lex worked to keep the Mutant's arms down with difficulty. The Mutant screamed in pain, as the acid ate away his eyes. He threw Royce and Lex off of him and got back to his feet.
Royce took Lex's spear and stabbed the Mutant through with it pinning it to a tree. Lex took out a net pistol and fired a metal net around the Mutant. Weakened and unable to move, the Mutant suffered blood loss and acid slowly moving towards his brain. The three of them watched, as the Mutant struggled, and then died.
"We make a good team," Isabelle smiled in relief.
"My weapon," Lex requested using a simulated voice.
Isabelle carefully handed Lex her weapon back and then moved cautiously away. "You are to be removed from this moon. The Xenomorphs will overrun this place, so I am taking you to a safe location," Lex said vaguely.
"Back to Earth?" Isabelle wondered.
"No, you can't go back to Earth. You two know too much, and they won't allow you to talk," Lex said.
"We won't tell anyone. I will resign from the service, and Royce here knows how to keep a secret," Isabelle pleaded.
"I'm sorry. It is not up to me," Lex said.
"Then who is in charge. Maybe if I kick his ass, we can get a better deal," Royce said abrasively.
"No, you can't win. You can't even win against me," Lex said.
"To hell, I can't," Royce said, and then took a swing at Lex. Lex cupped his punch and then tossed him back to the ground.
"Where are they taking us? Another game preserve?" Isabelle questioned.
"It's like a zoo. You won't be hunted there, and you will be well supplied," Lex said.
"I'm not going to be in some zoo," Royce argued.
"It's either that or death," Lex told him.
"Then I would rather die free," Royce said angrily.
Lex aimed her acid rifle and sprayed a small amount of acid on Royce's leg. The acid quickly burned through his pants, into his skin, and started to eat away at the muscle. He cried out in pain and started cursing Lex. "Why did you do that?" Isabelle demanded.
"Humans are attractive game to them. The only way they would accept you into their zoo is if you were disabled in some way," Lex said.
Isabelle eyed Lex with horror. "There are only two options. You either become disabled like him…or you become pregnant. They won't hunt a pregnant woman," Lex said.
Isabelle stared at Lex in shock, and then looked over at Royce. "With him?" she wondered.
Royal Guards decloaked around them creating a circular perimeter. "You don't have any time left to decide."
The Prince was the last to decloak and took center stage. Royce slowly got back to his feet even as his leg continued to smoke. He limped towards the Prince with his empty shotgun and raised it over his head like a club. The Prince lazily blocked the attack with his wrist blades and then tossed Royce to the ground.
Lex and Isabelle watched uncertainly as to what to do. Royce got back up again and tried to hit the Prince again, but the Prince sliced his shotgun cleanly in half with his blades. Red beams were all over Royce's body, but the Prince didn't give the order. The Prince grabbed Royce's throat and looked over his skull.
"Impressive for a human," the Prince said in English.
"Fuck you," Royce spat.
The Prince laughed an eerie human laugh and gave Royce a dismissive gesture. "Place him in the ship for departure," he ordered the Royal Guard.
But Royce got back on his feet and tried to swing his long knife at the Prince. The Prince blocked the blow with his bladed wrist, and the two struggled for supremacy. Suddenly, Royce was hit over the head by the buttstock of Isabelle's broken sniper rifle. Royce fell to the ground knocked out.
The Prince checked Royce's vital signs and was convinced the human wasn't permanently damaged, and then looked up at Isabelle. "He had it coming," she said lamely.
"Come with us," the Prince said in simulated English.
The Royal Guard shot a net around Royce and proceeded to drag him back to the ship. Lex accompanied an exhausted Isabelle on the path back. "So, what is this zoo going to be like?" Isabelle asked in a defeated tone.
"You will be placed in a habitat several miles long and wide. It will resemble a jungle like this, and you will have food at all times. You won't be hunted anymore there," Lex said with her mask's voice simulator.
"So, this is my life. Like a caged ape," Isabelle said bitterly.
"It is an opportunity to create a new human species on another planet," Lex said positively.
"Of all the humans on Earth, it had to be him," Isabelle muttered referring to Royce.
Royce was taken out of the metal net and placed inside the holding bay of the ship. Isabelle was placed in the same room, and the two were locked in. The Prince then ordered his men to begin packing the ship, a process that took most of the day.
At night, the Prince and some of his Royal Guards looked upwards, as they saw explosions in the sky. The Yautja Armada had already arrived, and the explosions were ships being destroyed; it resembled meteorites flying through the sky as debris fell into the moon's atmosphere.
Lex sat on the ground Indian style and was fairly bored by the space battle. When the battle seemed to end, the Prince took notice of her. "Let us go inside, and enjoy the feast."
The Prince set up tables resembling a square with a floor on the inside. A Yautja ship approached the pyramid and landed in a field nearby. A few dozen Yautja warriors exited from the battleship and were greeted by the Prince at the top of the stairs leading inside the pyramid. Lex was at the Prince's side, as he explained what was happening.
"The admiral outranks me in military affairs. He may accept my advice, but he is in command of the fleet, and his ship. I may give the admiral a performance review, and give it to my father who is the commander in chief of our armed forces. However, our armed forces are not like your own. We do not have permanent soldiers, but militias that eagerly volunteer for specific missions. Every male Yautja is obligated to perform some military duty during his lifetime," the Prince explained.
The admiral, captains, and several other officers walked up the steps of the pyramid towards the Prince. Each of them was heavily armed intimidating Lex, as they walked up. "Once they reach me, you are to kneel on one leg to them. Afterward, they will all kneel to me," the Prince stated the protocol.
The admiral was an Elder resembling the two Elders Lex had dealt with in the past. As they reached the final step, Lex knelt down and bowed her head. The admiral then knelt down before the Prince with his officers doing the same. "Rise Elder," the Prince said to his senior.
All stood up, and immediately the Prince and the admiral embraced in a warrior hug. Lex still had difficulty reading facial expressions but assumed they were smiling. "How went the battle?" the Prince asked.
"We lost two ships, but we destroyed eight of theirs. We are sending out hunting parties to track down any other ships in the system," the admiral reported.
"We shall celebrate the victorious dead," the Prince said sympathetically.
"Thanks to your little band, we were able to defeat them as easily as we did," the admiral said.
"Come in inside. We shall talk more," the Prince invited.
The admiral gave Lex a curious nod. "And who is this? Collected another one?"
"She is just a student of mine," the Prince downplayed.
The admiral chuckled, and then went inside with his officers following behind him. When they were inside, a lone Yautja exited the ship with a team of Yautjas behind him, some of which were female. "You shall kneel before this one. He is a Prince, but younger in rank than I am. He is my younger brother," the Prince said.
The younger Prince (referred to as Duke) walked up the stairs towards the Prince. Lex tried to see if there was any resemblance between the brothers but found none. They all looked the same to her. Lex knelt down as before to the Duke. The Duke and the rest of his escort knelt before the Prince. The Duke then stood up on his own accord.
"It has been a long time brother," the Duke said.
"Too long," the Prince agreed. The two clasped hands, and appeared to struggle against each other. After a short pause, the Prince forced the Duke's arm down. "Father have you sit behind a computer all day?"
"You will not defeat me in speed," the Duke said, and then quickly sliced through the air with his blades. Before the Prince could move, the Duke had his blades to his throat.
"You should be aware of your surroundings," the Prince said to the Duke.
"What?" the Duke wondered.
Lex's blades were at Duke's throat. The Duke turned in surprise to see himself caught. He quickly withdrew from the Prince and backed away from Lex. "What is this female's purpose?" the Duke asked.
Lex retracted her blades and wondered herself what her purpose was. "She is the lowest ranking member of my Royal Guard," the Prince said.
"Then why is she in your presence like this?" the Duke asked unconvinced.
"So that I may humble you," the Prince replied.
The Duke glanced at Lex, and then back at the Prince. Lex studied his face, and could make out anger and shock, and then acceptance. "I have been humbled," the Duke bowed before his older brother.
"Come inside. The celebration awaits," the Prince invited.
The Duke and his escorts entered into the pyramid leaving the two of them alone. "That was a bold move," the Prince said amused.
"I'm sorry. It was reflex," Lex said.
"Never apologize for being too loyal to me."
Inside the pyramid, the guests were already seated but immediately rose up once the Prince entered the room. "Please be seated and enjoy yourselves," the Prince said to the crowd.
The Prince then turned to Lex. "You will sit next to me, and it is best if you don't talk."
The Prince placed himself on a throne with the Duke to his right, and Lex to his left. On the other side of the square facing the Prince was the admiral's table. Next to the Duke were his several wives. Lex expected them to be flirting with the Duke to gain his attention like prostitutes. However, they remained seated and made small talk only with themselves in a respectful manner.
The Royal Guards entered the room and served plates on the table. Another group of them placed metal pitchers filled with an unknown liquid. Lex noticed that it was red, and feared it was blood. The Royal Guard then took their seats on the side of the square. The Prince took the pitcher and filled Lex's glass.
"What is this?" Lex wondered.
"It is similar to alcohol produced on Earth, but the process and the fruit are different," the Prince explained.
"Has she never drank before?" the Duke asked amused.
"There is no shame in being ignorant of vice," the Prince chided.
Lex cautiously took a sip of the drink, and immediately felt a burning sensation down her esophagus. She managed to maintain herself, and not cough. "It may be too much for you to handle," the Prince said.
Lex felt the effects of the alcohol in her system and enjoyed it. After all the anxiety she had gone through, she needed a drink. She took the glass and drank it all quickly. The Prince simply stared, as she sustained the drink. "Care for some more?" the Duke asked filling her glass.
The Prince considered Lex, and then back to the table. He stood up, so all could see him. "For five years, we have fought for this moon. We fought for fuel of course, but we also fought for the game preserve our ancestors had painstakingly built. Thousands of years ago, this moon was devoid of life. But our ancestors terraformed this moon, created the atmosphere, and restored its magnetosphere. They built it to be the exact modifications of Earth; so that we may be able to hunt the best humans had to offer. The Black Yautja dishonored our ancestors by stealing this moon from us and declaring it their own. Our past leaders offered to share the hunt, but they refused. Now, they have been defeated, and the moon is now ours once more," the Prince said.
The Yautja banged their fists on the table creating a pounding noise. Not wanting to look odd, Lex pounded the table as well with lower enthusiasm. "Many of you have hunted the Xenomorphs as a rite of passage. My brother has just recently killed his first," the Prince said, which created a laugh from the others.
"I offer a new hunt. It is a Xenomorph with the DNA of a Black Yautja. It is heavier and stronger than that which was created accidentally on Earth, and killed by our respected comrade," the Prince said while displaying a hologram of Hybrid's appearance.
Lex cringed, as she heard Wolf mentioned. She and a nuclear bomb had played a part in the Hybrid's demise. The admiral and the other officers stared at the hologram and appeared to have an interest in this new prey. "Upon my arrival to Yautja Prime, I will enlist anyone who wishes to hunt Xenomorphs on this moon. I expect the Xenomorphs to have cannibalized themselves within a short time after they have killed all animals on the moon. I give you the opportunity to enlist first," the Prince offered.
There was some chatter among the Yautjas, as they discussed the Prince's proposal. "Now, let us eat, drink, and celebrate this victory," the Prince said.
"Another?" the Duke offered once Lex was finished with her glass.
"Please," Lex welcomed it. After that speech, she needed to get herself wasted.
"Offer drinks to your own consorts," the Prince said annoyed.
"Is she yours, or can I take her as well brother?" the Duke asked.
"You have drunk too much," the Prince said dismissively.
The food placed in front of them was from a number of different animal species. In front of Lex was a species of bird found on Yautja Prime. She found to her amusement, she could hold the leg in her mandibles as she chewed away at it. As a human, a leg or two would be sufficient, but as a Yautja she ate a bird the size of a turkey in one meal. The Yautja males including the Prince were eating much larger pieces of meat making Lex's meal look small in comparison. She wondered how they could all remain fit.
Finally, the music started to play, and it resembled music from ancient times. The Duke's wives started to play flutes and harps. The Royal Guard left their seats and then entered the floor. "What are they going to do?" Lex wondered to the Prince.
"They will do a modern dance for us. I would have you join them, but I am not confident you can stand," the Prince explained.
"Wait…I can dance. Do you know…how many clubs I have been to? I…hit the floor," Lex said.
"I am afraid you will hit the floor literally. If you wish to dance, you may do so in my presence alone," the Prince objected.
The Royal Guard took positions, and the music started. This music was electronically generated and reminded Lex of catchy tunes from the 1980s. They began by extending their hands outwards, turning around, doing a jog in place, hands outward again, a waiving to the side, waiving to the other side, a hip motion forward and backward, and then they created a circle in the square. One of them did some moves with his arms like a wave motion and then pointed to another. That one did some moves with his legs and then pointed to another. He proceeded to fall to the ground, send his legs up into the air, and then suddenly got up while pointing to the sky.
Lex stared at the surreal experience of seeing them dance to the crowd. She almost believed the drink was making her hallucinate. The Prince tapped the table to the beat, as they continued. The Royal Guards created a tight circle and did some dance moves while next to each other. Finally, they broke up, as the music ended. There was some amused clapping from the audience, as the Royal Guard took their seats.
"A superb performance. Now, we shall retire, and ready ourselves for the journey back home," the Prince said ending the dinner.
The Prince then considered Lex. "You will be coming with me."
"Sure, absolutely," Lex said while slurring her words. "Anything you say, Your Highness."
The Prince led Lex away from the party to his throne room. "You have drunk too much and are in danger of embarrassing me," he said to her.
"I don't care…anymore. You're a killer…dining with other killers. You've killed my people… the Xenomorphs…and those of your own kind. There are two humans in your ship that are going to be put in a zoo and never return home. Your race is evil…and I have to stop you," she said boldly.
"I am the future of my race. I am humanity's greatest supporter among my peers," the Prince said.
"And what about me? I am going to have to live through all of your hunts and witness every time you kill human beings. I don't want to…to live around people who skin humans and take their skulls as trophies. I want this hell to end," Lex said while trying hard to articulate her words.
"You have not experienced the benefits associated with the great privilege of being a Yautja citizen. When we go back to Yautja Prime, you will understand what I mean," the Prince said patiently.
"Once I leave this moon, I won't have any control over my life. I have to take control," Lex said, and then grabbed a spear with a scythe blade on the end.
The Prince stood up from his throne, as she pointed it at him. "You won't win," he said confidently.
"This isn't about winning. This is… about standing for something, and maybe my death will embarrass you," she said.
The Prince frowned, as she realized she was serious. "You are intoxicated and not thinking clearly," the Prince said.
"Don't patronize me," Lex said angrily.
Lex advanced on the Prince, and the two clashed with their blades. Lex shoved the weightless spear towards the Prince, and then swiped across, as he avoided her. She was having some trouble concentrating, but at least she was forcing him to move. The Prince kept a safe distance away from her spear and circled her. Lex charged him again, but he expertly dodged the blade. Grabbing the spear with his hands, the two fought for control over it. With his superior strength, he forced the spear out of her hands. The spear flew across the room.
Lex extended her blades and went for a final charge. The Prince dodged her drunken moves with ease but did not attempt to stab her back. Grabbing her right arm, he unlocked the wrist blade. She tried to stab him with her left, but he quickly moved to her side. He unlocked her left arm blade disarming her. She kicked him to the gut finally getting a hit on him. He backed away momentarily stunned. Lex saw her chance and punched him to the chest. He lost his balance and fell into his throne chair. With the Prince seated, Lex put her hands around his neck to strangle him to death. The Prince reached for her metal bra and pulled her close to him. He then pealed Lex's fingers off his neck and extended his mandibles as he roared at her.
Lex stared at the Prince and lost herself. She moved her mouth towards him and intertwined their mandibles together. She then reached down and unlocked his belt. The Prince was about to throw her off but thought better of it. He retracted his blades and allowed her to continue. With the last of her humanity, she struggled with the Prince's wrists, so she could punch him again. The Prince threw her arms back nearly knocking her off the throne. She grabbed the Prince's legs to steady herself and became overwhelmed with sensations. She could feel him becoming hard underneath her, and how calm he was taking the situation; he didn't even consider her a threat. She hated and was attracted to this fact, and was reminded of the Prince's superior skills. He killed five Black Yautja all at the same time with a sword. How could she have any chance to win against something like that?
The Prince grabbed her metal bra to keep control of her, but Lex reached behind and unclasped her metal bra. Released from his hold, she pushed her hips against him roughly, as if they were still fighting. The Prince grabbed her breasts with his hands and began squeezing them both. Lex lowered her mouth and kissed the Prince's mouth similar to when she was human. She moved up on him placing her legs around his hips and grinding into him. The throne moved backward, as Lex kept herself on top of him.
"You're a monster and I hate you, but…," Lex said even as she used her hands to explore his muscular chest.
"If you kill me, this will stop," he said, and then massaged her breasts. Lex tensed up, as pleasure went through her body. Her breasts were twice as big as when she was human, and yet still proportional to her body. She had never experienced pleasure of this kind before.
"You will be safe with me," the Prince said softly.
Lex forgot what she was fighting with the Prince about, and lowered her right hand to his crotch. The Prince made no effort to resist but tensed up as she explored his body. She had never seen him naked before, or any male for that matter. Curiosity overcame her, and she unclasped his belt. Taking it off, and throwing it aside, she found him to be similar to a human male. She grasped him firmly and stroked until he was completely firm.
"Not bad for a beginner," the Prince said amused.
"I'm no beginner," Lex said deviously and continued her touching.
The Prince reached beneath her and grabbed underneath her with two fingers. Lex bucked against him, as she felt the two fingers on her. The Prince then used his thumb and circled her nub. Lex tensed up and arched her back towards him. With his other hand, the Prince raised her above him by firmly holding her breast. He then lowered her other breast onto his mouth. His mouth sucked on her breast tightly, and his mandibles wrapped around her breast locking her in place.
Lex made alien noises she had never uttered before. Her mind went into a haze, as she desperately wanted to go to the next level. She considered the possibility of mating with the Prince and having his child. She wondered what it would feel like to have a Yautja baby inside her for over a year. She thought about being a mother, and possibly raising the child to respect life rather than kill it. Children are more influenced by their mothers than their fathers, she figured. Would it be so bad to be the wife of a Prince? To be pampered all the time, make love, and lay in luxury as her belly grew.
"Alright Prince, take me. I'm yours," she said.
The Prince stroked her harder, and she suddenly gave a feminine roar as her orgasm fired off every nerve in her body. While her body jerked uncontrollably, the Prince allowed Lex to fall on top of him. With his free hand, he opened a compartment on his throne and quickly injected her to the neck. Lex felt a split second of betrayal and then slumped, as she fell asleep. The Prince carried Lex off the throne and laid her down on the floor. The Prince eyed Lex's naked body for a short while, and then put his belt back on.
"I know. You were always mine," the Prince said.
Lex woke up with a splitting headache and back pain. She realized that she had been sleeping on the hard floor the whole night. The Prince was on his throne looking at the visual monitor while stealing glances at her every so often. Lex checked herself and realized her clothes were gone.
"What happened, last night?" Lex asked. The details seemed fuzzy to her after the party.
"You attempted to kill me. It was not the first time, and probably won't be the last," the Prince said.
"Why am I naked?" Lex wondered.
"You found it too hot and your bed too soft for your liking," the Prince said amused.
"Did we?" Lex asked fearing the answer.
"Yes, and under Yautja law you are now my mate for as long as we both shall live," the Prince lied.
Lex gave the Prince a horrified look. "How could anyone prove we had sex?" she doubted.
"There is DNA evidence of my seed inside your body, and if you become pregnant that would confirm the analysis further," the Prince said casually.
Lex's mind went into panic mode, as she realized what she had done. Her memory of what had happened last night was starting to come back to her. "I can't believe…," she muttered.
The Prince chuckled amused. "No, we did not mate."
Lex immediately felt relief go through her, and the Prince noticed it. "If you decide to take my offer, you will do so while completely sober and sound of mind," the Prince said. "Now, dress yourself appropriately in formal wear. We will be leaving for Yautja Prime soon," the Prince ordered.
Lex wore a red hand me down dress from one of the Prince's wives. The Prince had a collection of his wives' things in case any of them were to accompany him on his hunting trips. Once he saw her in his wife's dress, he stared longingly at her.
The Duke entered the command deck nodding to Lex and formerly greeting the Prince. He appeared to have an upbeat glow about him no doubt due to a long love session with his wives. "May I accompany you to Yautja Prime? My destination is the same as yours," he requested.
"You may," the Prince allowed.
"How was your evening brother?" the Duke asked, hoping for some juicy details. "Fairly uneventful," he said shooting him down.
"I see. Mine was typical," the Duke said. He wasn't going to brag about his love life if it were to upstage his older brother.
"I'm sure it was," the Prince said doubtfully. The Prince did not approve of the Duke's promiscuous behavior, but that was a role for his father to handle. The Prince then clicked some buttons on his computer console. The ship powered up, and then rose in the air. With a small jolt, the ship shot through the moon's atmosphere and accelerated into space.
"Prepare for interdimensional travel," the Prince said.
The stars suddenly became brighter, and all that could be seen was light through the windows. The stars and their light then became light blue, as the ship headed towards them. Lex looked out the window for what was behind the ship, and saw red starlight, as the ship was moving away from those stars. "We will arrive at Yautja Prime within a Yautja Prime week," the Prince reported.
"I shall wait in my chambers," the Duke said giving the Prince a bow.
Lex looked out the window on the command deck and saw Yautja Prime for the first time. She read some of the information about the planet on a datapad as part of her education plan the Prince wanted to give her. The planet was 1.5 times the diameter of the Earth, and three times as massive. As a result, she would soon experience gravity stronger than anything she experienced before. The planet also had two moons, both of which were colonized. The planet was in a solar system similar to that of the Earth with a yellow sun although it was a little larger. Unlike Earth with its polar ice caps, Yautja Prime was warm planet-wide.
The sight of the planet filled Lex with awe, as she realized she was the first human to have visited multiple worlds. The outpost was her first planet, but that was merely a truck stop compared to this planet. This was the source of Yautja civilization. She could see the green oceans of the planet although they were smaller in size proportionately to that of the Earth. She could see the cloud formations, some of which resembled hurricanes.
The ship descended gracefully into the atmosphere, and then landed on a landing pad next to a large city. The ship opened up allowing the Prince and Lex to exit the ship. Immediately, she felt the difference in the air. The ship had artificially produced air common for the Yautja, but this was different. Her lungs were filled with the air, and immediately she felt energized. The gravity and atmospheric pressure were stronger, but nothing her frame couldn't handle.
Looking around, she saw the city in the distance. The skyscrapers were massive and taller than anything she had seen on Earth. Looking behind her, she saw the green ocean sending large waves crashing against the coast. She could see what resembled ships on the sea. There were a number of flying ships in the air, and the sky was orange with white clouds. She saw the bright sun high in the sky and figured it was around noon.
A platoon size force of Yautja was on the scene to greet the two Princes, as they exited the ship. The Royal Guards meanwhile worked to unpack the ship. "Shall we go?" the Prince asked rhetorically to her as their ride came up.
