Cyrus was looking around near 78's testing chamber. Forgetting all about getting security and just finding a safe place to hide. He barely moved a few feet away from 78's testing chambers until he found a sealed off storage cabinet of supplies with a heavy duty door like the testing rooms, literally just across the hallway from 78's room, perfect for a place to hide that won't likely be entered by a vengeful alien. He swiped his I.D. card and entered the room, locking the one way entry door behind him.
Also making his way down the hallway but a slightly further distance was 78. Only 2 or 3 rooms across from where he was being held was a room full of bound xenomorphs the same way he was when not being tested, only these were clustered together and it looked to him as if they were being sealed there for storage. Spares for if the current experiments died or had to be eliminated. He found a big red button on the computer control desk and slammed his inner mouth down onto it, releasing all of his siblings in the room and other rooms along the facility, also setting off the security alarm.
"SECURITY ALERT. XENOMORPHS HAVE BEEN RELEASED. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. SECURITY ALERT. XENOMORPHS HAVE BEEN RELEASED."
"Gah! Stupid humans and their loud noises. Lets go brothers and sisters! Our Queen is still being held hostage!"
All the xeno morphs made loud hissing war cries as they all scirried out in different directions to slay any humans they find and find their Queen. He would make the humans pay for that, not just for capturing him and running tests, but for having the nerve to try and bind his siblings and Queen too. They were all going to die. All accept one. Not that he had feelings or anything, it was merely a case of "you scratch my back so I scratch yours". Being unbound, free and without any radiowave interferences from the computers his siblings had now shut down, he could clearly hear the calls of the Queen, as did his siblings.
"My children! I am being held in the lower levels! Free me and make my captors suffer!"
Within minutes the armed forces were trying to prevent their escape and assistance of the Queen, MArines were everywhere, holding up their guns and firing wherever they saw movement, they all found it almost laughable. They had no sense of aim or value to their ammunition resources. So oviously in the end they were no match for the hoarde of Xenomorphs against them. They all worked together as some of them smashed the lights, preventing the marines from seeing them even less than they already did and the rest crept up on them in the darkness and slaughtered them. 78 was one of these lucky Xenos that got to rip into human flesh and satisfy his need for revenge on the pathetic race.
"Just aim, shoot and do what you're told, humans. You were all merely built to serve each other."
Little did 78 realise the irony of his thoughts towards humans, as his hive lifestyle as a Xeno wasn't much different when serving the Queen. But in his lifetime, he wasn't aware that they were bothvery similar things.
Asuka was sitting where she collapsed before. She hadn't moved from that spot and was huddled in a ball, her legs puled in to her chest and her arms wrapped around er legs as she restd her head on her knees. As she sat on the chamber floor, she the alarm, knowing that 78 had succeded in freeing the other Xenomorphs, as she soon found out there were more of them, hearing multiple loud screeches and hisses from outside the chamber as well as multiple gunshot sounds. She looked towards the alarm siren, smiled and thought to herself.
"You did it 78. I'm glad I was able to make at least someone elses life happier."
She figured that nobody was going to bother her so she put her clothes back on, taking her time as the alarm went off in her ear and heard even louder sounds of more gunfire and screaming outside the chamber.
"I wonder if I'LL get to scream for you one day for real..."
Asuka paused and stopped her train of thought. Did she seriously just think that? She was still trying to process it herself and then comprehend what it meant.
"Asuka, You're one disgusting human."
She finished getting dressed, sat in a nearby corner and giggled to herself.
78 and his xenomorph siblings on the other hand, had practically cleared the entire secret facility section of the Weyland-Yutani building that Cyrus worked in. Completely clear and void of human life apart from two. Now just having to free the queen, 78 told his siblings that he had somehthing he had to take care of and that they should go fnd the Queen ahead of him. He rushed off in the other, bloody, empty direction to look for a certain someone, Cyrus. 78 didn't care for his name, he simply wanted to find and kill the human himself. Not just for making his short life a living hell, but his saviours life too.
He searched every room that was opened, looked at every detached head and peered into every nook and cranny that a human could possibly hide in. Nothing. Cyrus was nowhere to be seen throughout all the doors that were smashed open by him and his siblings, unless he returned there. 78 hurried back to where Asuka was and where he was previously being constricted. He peered through the window to see Asuka safe and unharmed. He gave a minor hiss of relif for her safety, which he quickly shook off. In the end, after hours of searching alone, 78 gave up on Cyrus, figuring that one of his siblings had butchered him so badly his face was unrecognisable among those he examined. Unfortunately not knowing that Cyrus was merely feet away from Asuka across the hallway and merely several feet away from the xeno himself. 78 made his way back to where he was originally headed, the Queen's chamber.
By the time 78 had made it to where the Queen was being held, she had already been released and started to setup the creation of a permanent hive in a different room nottoo far from her experimental room, the furnace.
"My children! This will be our new homes! it's the perfect environment and temperaure for new siblings to hatch from the fresh hosts you've brought me!"
The walls around the Queen were covered in people that weren't killed by the Xenomorphs but instead taken to become hosts for chestburster newborns. Because of the right environmental factors, one or two facehuggers were already hatching from the large collection of eggs the Queen had already laid in his absence to find Cyrus. 78 wandered about the newly created hive. Seeing as the Queen was already laying aa truckload of eggs, 78 easily assumed she had already chosen and mated with a xenomorph male in the hive to enable her to lay eggs. Sadly for him, he wasn't around when she was picking males, 78 felt he had done what he could in his own way for the hve, for himself and for Asuka, who he hoped was in the middle of escaping right now since one of his siblings shut the alarm off along with with most of the power.
Being free meant 78 no longer had to be adressed by a serial code number, same goes for al of his siblings. The thing with that however, was that Xenomorphs didn't really have names in the first place. They could only understand each other and reffered to each other a brother, sister, siblings when reffering to two or more and when adressing the Queen as "Mother" or simply "The Queen". It just meant they wouldn't have to be reffered to as a number any longer by white coated scientists behind bulletproof glass.
Asuka in 78's old chamber was indeed catching on that the massacre was over and she should escape while it was clear and the other Xeno's wouldn't hack her to pieces, like she just saw 78 had done to Carter and Majo when she stood up and looked through the glass. Cyrus unfortunately had the same idea and exited the storage room just as Asuka had carefully climbed through a large hole of shattered glass in the observation window and squeesed her tiny body through the forced open door 78 had broken. Cyrus exited the storage room and noticed Asuka before she noticed him. He quietly stormed up to her, making sure she cntinued to not notice and grabbed her arm, taking her by surprise.
"My entire career is DEAD because of you!"
He instantly started heading towards the elevator to exit the premesis, his tight grip pulling on her arm as he took her towards the elevator upwards to the main, non secret building.
"Let me go Cyrus!"
Asuka yelled out as loud as she could, hoping any Xeno would hear them and possibly kill them both. Any fate was better than being with him right now. Cyrus used his spare hand to cover Asuka's mouth to stop her speaking any louder or making any sense from her now muffled words. He dragged her into the elevator, already wating on their level, closed the elevator door and waited until a few floors up before releasing her.
Cyrus then pulled out a large syringe from a case in his pocket and before Asuka could dart away, he grabbed her by the waist, lifted her jumper up and jabbed her in the torso with it, injecting her with a thick, green fluid.
"As if i'm going to risk you being awake and running that mouth of yours off to the rest of the world!"
Asuka started to feel horribly drowsy after almost instantly feeling the effects of whatever Cyrus injected her with. She had horrible difficulty fighting her tiredness and exhaustion, to the point where after only a few mere seconds, she was on the elevator floor, completely knocked out like an animal that's been tranquilised. It was a fluid used to knock out wild xenomorphs if the white gas didn't seem to phaze them much, then they would shoot them with a tranquilizer full of the stuff. Every employee in the district had one in case of an emergency. But nobody really planned for a full scale Xeno killing spree. Just as they were about to reach the destination floor, Cyrus picked her up bridal-style and exited the elevator. A few concerned looks were given but were soon changed to simple "yeh alright" looks once someone said "too much excitement for one day?" and Cyrus replied.
"Don't you know it. Been all too overwhelming for the kid in one day."
He continued to keep an act up until he placed Asuka in the cars passener seat and drove off a short way before retaining his pissed off mood.
"When we get to my house, you'll wish you were never born."
As he drove off, the xenomorph infestation only grew even larger. The Queen ordered all of her children, including 78, to continue the massacre of the Weyland-Yutani building above the top secret classified labs section. They soon found the only elevator shaft and all swarmed upwards andsted open the elevator floor to spread their kill ratio amongst the innocent workers. The Xenomorphs killed many workers and visitors and captured more hosts in almost half the time they did before, considering this time there were no marines and everyone was defenceless. On his way to the elevator shaft, 78 passed by his old chamber once again to notice Asuka was now gone.
"She must have escaped. I'm glad I could grant her that much and ensure her safety as much as I could."
He went on with his siblings to take over the entire facility, but what both he and Asuka didn't know, was that for Asuka, the real danger was soon to come.
