Chapter 3 Try Try Again
Summary: Viciousa tries to gather more information from the voice.
Wolf: The author owns nothing from either franchises.
Viciousa: BTW, a quick clear-up: In the first Unlikely Allies, when I rush in to save Ghost from the King & Empress Xenomorph; the author didn't mean the Rogue Xenomorph from the comics. Google 'King Xenomorph' & look at the black & white picture of a Xenomorph with tusks. That's the king the author meant. Sorry for the mistake.
The ship was on its way to Earth. Viciousa was sitting in the engine room currently trying to listen for the voice again. Ghost meanwhile, was sitting in his room reading some Earth to Yajuta dictionaries. Viciousa had been trying all day but still no luck. Yesterday when she heard it, it sounded angry. "What could be bugging it?" Viciousa thought. So far she couldn't even get a mental connection to it. "Whatever it is, it has strong mental barriers. Like it wants to be left alone… No matter, I think I can get through!" Viciousa thought. She so far couldn't get any answers. Not even an echo. Her brain began to hurt & Viciousa couldn't keep this up much longer. Suddenly, she heard something! "WHAT?!" the voice shouted. Viciousa winced but answered, "I want to talk to you. Please, tell me why your so angry? Tell me what I forgot. Please tell me & we can help." Viciousa groaned. "As IF! You must wait & see!" the voice shouted. "No! I want to know who you are!" Viciousa said. "You know! You know! You know!" it echoed. Viciousa screeched loudly in pain. "No! If I knew what you were why would I ask?!" Viciousa asked. "Are you trying to get smart with me?! I'll tear your BRAIN APART!" it howled. Viciousa roared loudly as her pain grew worst. "Don't! Please!" Viciousa cried. "Then HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!" the voice yelled. Viciousa roared again & passed out.
About an hour later…
Viciousa woke up on Ghost's bed. Her big head was wracked with a pounding headache. She hissed quietly & rubbed her crest. "That… voice..." Viciousa thought. "Thank goodness your awake. I found you passed out in the engine room. What happened?" Ghost asked. "I- Was trying to contact that- Ugh! Voice again to get more information." Viciousa groaned. Ghost pet her head gently & gave her a pill even a horse would have second thoughts about. Viciousa ate it & growled. "It tastes terrible." Viciosua snarled. "Xenomorphs can taste? How do you taste if you use your tongue as a mouth & throat?" Ghost asked. Viciousa made the head motion like she was rolling her eyes. "We taste with our teeth. Every time we take a bite it's like licking something with a host tongue. But anatomy aside, all the voice did was tell me that I knew what it was." Viciousa said. "I know this is a stupid question-" "Then don't ask it my brain has no time for stupidity. I don't even know what it is. I don't even know what it looks like." Viciousa said. "Did it say anything useful?" Ghost asked. "No. It just said to hurry. Whatever it is, it's strong, very strong." Viciousa groaned. "Drat, well, at least your going to be alright." Ghost said. Viciousa tilted her head in a weird angle & stared at Ghost funny. "What?" he asked. "What you just said, are you starting to develop feelings for me?" Viciousa asked. "What me? No way! That's weird, very, why would you even- Ew, that's so wrong of you Vici!" Ghost blurted. "Vici?" Viciousa asked. Ghost decided to shut up & leave the room. Meanwhile, Viciousa took a nap to get rid of the pounding headache.
Viciousa: Vici? Really?
Ghost: Remember, this is a weird author we're working with.
Viciousa: Right, R & R
