I was freed from the metal restraints, but I couldn't just stroll out of the room. I could sense that there were people walking up and down the halls outside. I looked around the room for an escape plan, but I couldn't see where could possibly go. I turned my attention to the wall on the opposite of the door. There was silence on the other side, and I could sense that there was lots of room behind the wall. Perhaps it was a storage room? I knew I had to get out of the room before another human came in. I was about to charge at the wall, ready to knock it down with brute force. It didn't seem like a strong or thick wall, but I remembered that it was in my best interest not to create too much noise.
I lashed out on my wrist, causing my acid blood to bleed out. I directed my arm toward the wall and flung the blood onto the metal surface. Luckily, the walls were not made of special material and it immediately began eroding away. When a decent sized hole formed, I gently pushed down against the wall and more of the wall collapsed onto the ground. Vital mistake. I heard murmuring in the hallways behind me and footsteps approaching the room. Too late, I had to continue.
Without turning back, I hastily threw my body through the already collapsing wall and found that this "storage room" was actually the huge room that I had fought Specimen 14 in. Apparently, the room I was being treated in was on the second floor, for when I burst through the wall, there was no immediate ground under me. I wasn't prepared for it, but I ended up falling down ten meters to the floor. I landed on my feet, but it hurt from the injury. I quickly shrugged off the pain and I focused on my surroundings. There were people in this room currently. It seemed that they were not expecting me to appear all of a sudden. They were quite vulnerable and just stood there staring at me in shock. I believe they were preparing the grounds for another specimen test.
To speed things up, I let out a loud roar, that sent all the workers screaming for their lives. Without thinking, they all headed for the large exit, where they entered a passcode and then a door would slide open. Perfect! When I saw a door completely open, I began dashing towards it. One of the workers realized the mistake they made and tried to close the door again, but it was too late. I bolted through and sent the men on the ground flying. It's now time to play rough. I wanted to get escape and get back to my hive.
It seems that I have managed to escape into a hallway where the lights were dimly lit. I sped down the hall, not sure exactly where I was going. There was a set of double doors, but of course I was too large to fit through. Without giving much thought, I heaved my body at the wall and broke through. I was in a room filled with xenomorphs. There was probably around fifty xenos in this room and they were all held captive in a cell. This might have been the room where the company kept its collect of xenomorphs. I didn't know what to think. I have only been the King of one particular hive, so I wasn't sure if foreign xenomorphs would obey me or not.
All of them turned towards me. There was an awkward silence that lingered on and on. I was about to continue on until I saw all the xenomorph bow down. It seems my question was answered. The xenomorphs telepathically told me that they would follow my command. I asked them if they were aware of any release button. One of the xenomorphs pointed towards an electrical box. I used my tail and bashed it into the box which sent a large surge of electricity throughout the room. All of the cage doors opened and the xenomorphs were free. I commanded the xenos to capture every human, but not to harm anyone. I told them to bring all of them back to this room and keep them locked up in the cells. I wasn't going to risk Alice getting hurt, so I added the no harming humans part. I was thinking that hopefully one of them will find Alice so I could be reunited with her. I did care for her, but I also wanted to hear more answers. They obliged and all of the xenos dispersed, each xeno using a different door or vent to exit the room.
As all the xenomorphs disappeared, I went on my way as well. I heard people screaming in the hallways outside. I burst out of the room and found myself crammed in a white hallway, presumably made for humans. The xenos were doing quite well, for the hallways were void of humans, and I did not see a single dead body. The only thing I was worried about was that the xenos couldn't control their strength, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I trusted that they wouldn't hurt Alice. I veered down a turn in the hallway and bumped into a bunch of marines who were heading towards the commotion of the xenos. They stopped dead in their tracks when they saw my massive figure. They began shooting at me. The bullets didn't hurt all that much, but it was quite annoying. I used my tail and with one sweep, knocked all the marines onto the walls. I used just enough power to incapacitate them, but not kill them. I guess Alice made me soft.
Continuing through the networks of hallways, I came upon a large bolted door. I felt the wind on the other side. Surely, this was the exit that would lead outside, outside of this musty company building. I was desperate to breathe in fresh air, so I rammed my body against the sealed door. It gave a little, but it was still pretty firm. I gave another whack at it, but I didn't make too much progress. I heard a loud siren go off and entrances leading back to the hallway disappeared as walls rose up from the ground, trapping me at the corner.. It seemed that I had only one way to escape and it was through this door, to the outside world. Wait! I realized I still was oblivious to what planet I was on. Now, I was even more curious. I used my tail and began pummeling the door, finally, my sharp tail seemed to do the trick and the door finally broke away, letting light spill into the darkness of the building. I ran outside into the cool air, but before I could enjoy the moment, a huge net fell on top of me.
There were four helicopters above me, where the net was released from. Damn! It seemed that they were watching me the whole time. They knew I was going to appear from this entrance, so they just had to wait until I came bursting out. I can't believe I got fooled again. It was the same kind of net that trapped me the first time when I was in my hive. I felt the chemicals burning into my exoskeleton. An old man approached me, with a smug on his face. It was Alice's grandfather.
"Looks like xenomorphs aren't intelligent at all. I can't believe some people classify your kind as semi-sapient. I would say you're nowhere near sapient." remarked the man. I took that insult right to heart, and tried lashing out at him, but my arms were restrained. I could feel the chemicals affecting my body. I was beginning to feel tired. No! I couldn't let this happen.
"You have took quite a liking to Alice. She is nothing but trouble. I deducted that she was the one who released you from your restraints, didn't she?" he said. And to spite me, he leaned in closer to my face. "And, I'm not sure if you can understand me right now, but I'll just say it anyways. I don't care about Alice, I never loved her. I pretended to after her parents died just so she would be loyal and capture you. After you are detained, I'll use this situation as a perfect way for her to be executed for treachery and treason against weyland yutani!"
Oh, yes. I understood him loud and clear. I felt a wave of anger surge through me. I was determined...determined to send this man to hell! She was not going to lay a finger on Alice. I began pushing against the net that was burning my flesh. I ignored the pain and continued to force my way up. Alice's grandfather was startled and tried to move back. Coward. This made me even more determined. With all my strength, I used my claws and tore the net apart. All the workers around me were startled and began to move back.
"No way, impossible! No alien creature was able to break out of that net!" he cried. His eyes were wide with shock. I could smell his fear from a mile away. I dove down towards him and tore him apart. Blood splattered everywhere, and it felt quite refreshing to see this man die. But, I quickly realized my irreversible mistake, when I looked up and saw Alice standing in front of me, witnessing her grandfather's gruesome murder. She was there the whole time standing near the group of men behind her grandfather.
She looked up at me, and I felt that she also began to fear me, as she cried, "Gran….Granpa! W-why?"
