"Man... I think that's the best night sleep i've had in a long while..."
A waking up Asuka thought as she felt the prescence of Lucifer still wavering ontop of her. She nudged him a little to check if he was awake yet.
"Lucifer?"
She tried nudging him harder.
"Luce! You awake yet?"
Her calls out to the xenomorph were abruptly interrupted by his responsive hisses of what sounded like annoyance. Sems like Xenomorphs weren't morning creatures either. Made sence since they camoflauge well with the dark. Lucifer crawled off of Asuka, but wrapped his tail around her waist as he did, just as an extra precaution he though he should take in case she was clumsy and fell off the branch. Humans weren't tree climbers with good balance in that aspect, after all.
Sonn after they both managed to get their bearings together, Asuka taking much longer than Lucifer, the Xeno Warrior picked up the fragile girl and swiftly manuvered down the tree trunk until they had reached the ground. Asuka stood up and brushed the dirt off her torn and tattered jeans. They both looked at each other. They both knew what they had to do.
"Lucifer... I-I'm scared..."
The poor girl folded her arms and began to shiver a little. Not enough for people to notice fear, but Lucifer could see Asuka was terified of going back there. Even the thought of it scared her. The warrior did the first thing that came to mind. Leaning up to her height a little, he mimiced the way she would press her forehead against his by placing his cold, black hands on her tiny in comparison shoulders, pulled her in closer and leaned their foreheads against each other like they've done many times before. But this time, Lucifer tried to do it the same way she does it to him.
"What am i doing? This is just to calm her down, nothing else."
Lucifer thought to himself as they kept their foreheads held against one another for a few seconds longer. The xenomorph was strangely feeling a little embarrased by this as he could feel Asuka's face heat up from blushing as a reaction to his method of calming her down. He backed away and reverted back to standing on all fours. Asuka looked back down at the Xeno and smiled while trying to hold in a girly giggle as she held her hands near her face to try and cover up her blushing red cheeks. She didn't need words, or in his case signs, for him to tell her everything would be alright.
"Thanks Lucifer. Now c'mon, lets go get my spaceship part back! As well as taking care of other things."
Lucifer knew instantly what the small human meant by 'other things'. That bastard was going to get the slowest, mostpainful death he had ever dealt to any human being or any other creature he had killed previously. He bared his teeth and snarled at Asuka all while making a low toned screeching sound. Asuka looked towards where Cyrus' mansion should be and started walking, Lucifer closely following beside her.
Meanwhile, Cyrus returned to his room, hoping he would find his fiance too weak to move or escape the house which would give him an excuse to rape her again. Unfortunately for him, she was sadly used to his 'methods' of punishment and despite how hard he hammered her, she found the strength to slip away.
"Dammit! She got away!"
An irritated Cyrus spoke to himself as he looked into the room, but looked down onto the floor and noticed a small object that was shiny and made from a peculiar metal. He recognised it as Asuka's charm that Marie gave her. He bent down and picked it up, smirking, knowing how much it meant to her and that she would almost certainly come back for it after she had recovered.
"Well, looks like there might be a round two in this game afterall."
He dropped the charm in his pocket and left the room to walk back downstairs to the luxury television room, complete with animal fur rugs and trphies everywhere. It disgusted Asuka to see such mistreatment of animals, but that's probably why Cyrus decided to style the room that way in the first place. The smug scientist sat down on the leather couch and turned the T.V. on to see the news reporting on the case of the abandoned Weyland-Yutani research facility. The reporter described it as 'an abandonment caused by a chemical fault in an experiment that lead to an epidemic of deaths that was sealed off in the building and that there were no survivors'. Cyrus snickered to himself at the rediculous news claims the reporter had made to possibly try and cover up the fact that there was a terrifying alien rampage, few survived and they could be anywhere.
"This is where the fucker lives?"
Lucifer signed to Asuka as they hid in some bushes in the back garden. Cyrus' house is surrounded by a huge gated fence, but he thought it would be a good idea to have three walls around his house but leave the fourth one for him to think of the forrest behind his house as an extension of his own garden. Nobody in the surrounding area dares enter uninhabited areas like the forrest so he had nothing to worry about when it came to intruders. The people nowadays were far too dependent on technology to even know how to plant a tree. Rather sad, really. But that being said, it was almost ridiculously easy for Asuka and Lucifer to sneak in and hide in the neatly trimmed bushes.
"He even controls the plants to his liking. Pathetic human."
The warrior tried to contain a hiss as Asuka snuck on ahead, him following behind, until she managed to reach and enter the back door. Lucifer followed, but with the hallways being well lit and made of white marble, he was forced to hide by clinging to the ceiling, under a piece of furniture or under something the casted a large shadow such as the staircase. Asuka kept her back close to the walls and shadows like her xenomorph saviour and headed for the staircase. Looking around for signs of anyone but seeing that the house was empty, she began to sneak up the stairs and signaled to Lucifer to follow her close behind.
"Just up these stairs and into the third door to the left, Luce. That's hopefully where my spaceship part still is."
Asuka whispered to the jet black warrior, but still looking forward as she snuck up the stairs as quiet as possible and a short way along the hallway until they reached the room she had been previously abused in. Lucifer could smell a strange atmosphere in the room, a foul one, but was able to figure out what it was from when Asuka told him that Cyrus had raped her. He tried his hardest to keep uiet and hold back the need to screech in rage, but found it ultimately difficult. Luckily he kept his cool for Asuka's sake. Just.
"Huh? It's not here anywhere..."
Asuka turned back to look at Lucifer, who was sitting in a dark corner, in worry.
"I swear it should be here, Lucifer. Where could it have gone to?"
The poor girl looked like she was about to well up in tears at any point, but she knew she had to stay composed in order for her to find her machine part. She walked up to the Xenomorph and pressed her forehead against his and tried to take a deep breath.
"It might have been dropped on the way out. Lets go back downstairs, but we have to go out the front door this time so this means we gotta be extra careful, okay?"
"Gee Asuka, if i didn't know better, id say you WANT to be caught, but then again..."
Lucifer tried not to hiss in rage. He had so much hatred for Cyrus and wanted to make his death a slow and painful one. Maybe Asuka was trying to lure him out but make it look like she wasn't? this time he was a bit confused towards her train of thought but did what she asked. The human quietly snuck down the stairs again, trying to keep quiet, looking at the floor as she did in hopes of finding her precious machine part.
"ok Luce, if we see Cyrus before he sees us, sneak up on him and end it. Got it?"
This was the part of the plan Lucifer liked the sound of. He couldn't wait to sink his teeth and claws into the monster that caged him and physically hurt his saviour. They snuck downstairs and Asuka didn't peek around the corner to the lounge before creeping past it to exit at the front door. Unfortunately, someone was already aware of her presence and stanting at the doorframe.
"Looking for something, Asuka?"
Asuka had a mini heart-attack and jolted around to see Cyrus standing right there. Not only that, but he was flashing her machine part in his hand, glistening it in the dim light of the room behind him. He had an almost cruel and wicked look on his face.
"Give it back, Cyrus!"
Cyrus snickered at the helpless girl before him.
"ha! Or else what, huh? You'll set your Xenomorph whore on me?"
"He's not my whore! His name is Lucifer now and if you don't do what I say, he WILL kill you!"
Without a second to lose, Lucifer bolted from around the corner, waiting for the moment to strike and tackled Cyrus to the ground, holding him down at his arms. Cyrus dropped Asuka's machine part in the process. The slightly excited girl picked it up and put it deep into her pocket where it wouldn't fall out this time. Cyrus instantly panicked and began to squirm around under the warior's strong hold on his arms, trying to get free. Both Asuka and Lucifer were somewhat enjoying the sight of him scared and helpless to do anything, like they had been once.
"I-I-I'm sorry, Asuka! I really am! Take your spaceship part and leave me alone! I'll never bother you again!"
Asuka walked over and turned the lights on brighter, standing over Cyrus as he wriggled in fear under Lucifer's strong grasp on him. She had an almost evil smile on her face asshe heard him say those words, but then quickly turned to a disgusted scowl.
"Like how you never respected me? locked me in dark rooms when I was younger? raped me? hurt me? tried to kill me?!"
Lucifer back up her words with a loud screech in his face along with an inner mouth stretched out only a few inches from penetrating his worthless skull. Cyrus could see in Asuka's eyes that there was no way he would be forgiven for what he had done to her. He stopped struggling and didn't say a word. The Xenomorph was just about ready to slash his face open, when Asuka turned and walked out the room, signalling for Lucifer to follow.
"If we kill him Luce, we're no better than he is..."
Lucifer turned his head round to her and hissed loudly in protest.
"C'mon, lets go..."
She couldn't leave it there though, she wanted to give Cyrus mental images he wouldn't forget.
"Folow me now and i'll reward you by letting you screw me later. sound good?"
Asuka said it in a way that told Lucifer to just go with it and do as she says, so reluctantly he released his grip on Cyrus and turned around to join her as she headed for the exit. Cyrus shakily stood up and stared at the backs of an alien and human he had been responsible for ruining some aspect of their lives at one stage.
"You make me sick. Both of you."
"Could say the same about you, asshole."
Cyrus reached for his pocket and pulled out a small, loaded pistol, pointing it at Lucifer, then Asuka, and back to Lucifer again. The confused Xenomorph turned to look at his saviour in confusion but then saw she had a plotting grin on her face. Sure they'd be no better than him, but who cares? He suddenly got a rush of adrenaline and instantly responded as soon as the word left her mouth.
"Go."
Not a second had passed and Lucifer darted around and launched himself at Cyrus, slashing at his arm and sending his gunfire off and nowhere near hitting either Lucifer or Asuka. Cyrus switched hands he held the gun in and tried to aim and shoot at the Xenomorph but he was too fast at dodging to be hit by Cyrus' already terrible aim.
Despite not getting hit by any of the bullets, Lucifer was trying to think of a tactical strategy to get closer to Cyrus and attack him one last time. He knew the closer he got, the easier it would be for him to get shot at. The xenomorph wasn't so much worried about getting hit, but if the acid splayed enough to get on Asuka.
But Asuka knew she should hide and ducked behind a nearby couch so she was out of sight from Cyrus and Lucifer didn't have to worry about atacking and defending so much. The xenomorph slyly hid under a table, ready to take a risk and attack the deranged scientist's legs in an attempt to weaken him and make a more frontal atack less dangerous. Lucifer's tail snuck out in front of him and was inches away from stabbing Cyrus in one of his legs.
Normally Lucifer would have used the darkness to his advantage and strike from the ceiling, peircing his target through their skull resulting in instant death. This situation was different as the lights had been turned on by Asuka earlier. She was unaware of what exactly he could do with the darkness on his side, but he also figured that she'd want his death to be slow and painful, just as he did.
Lucifer stabbed his tail right through Cyrus' left thigh from behind to show a spear-like tail end showing in front of the scientist for him to easily see. In a panic, Cyrus shot at Lucifer's tail before retracting it and managed to hit part of the spearhead end. It wasn't until Lucifer retracted his tail at almost light speed, screeching in pain that Cyrus realised he had ust made his situation worse. As yellow acid blood spilt on the floor, Cyrus dropped his gun and knelt down on the floor, clutching his burning wound with his hands.
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!"
If a massive hole in the leg wasn't bad enough, the scientists leg was now eroding away so fast you could see it happening on him. The fact he clutched at it with his hands had just spread the acid to attack his hands, eroding them away too. He looked at his hands and continued to wail in pain and fear.
While he was distracted, Lucifer snuck out from under the table and stood behind him, growling loudly to intensify the fear within Cyrus.
"Please don't kill me! I'm sorry! I don't wanna die!"
Asuka, taking from the sounds of severe burning and Lucifer growling as well as Cyrus' pleas for survival, she decided to come out of hiding and take a look at her fiance in hislast few moments.
"I'm sorry, what did you say? Make it slow and painful for me?"
"no! please no, Asuka! I'm begging you not to kill me!"
She could see him practically tearing from his eyes in fear. He really didn't want to die. Neither Asuka or Lucifer could care less.
Acid blood dripping from the warrior's tail make several small holes in the carpet as Cyrus' leg had completely dissolved off and there were only stumps on the ends of his arms where his hands would have gone. The scientist fell forward but dodged the acid stains on the carpet around the small holes they created, leaning on what should be his hands.
"Stand him up, Luce."
Asuka spoke in a serious tone but with a plotting smile across her face as she watched Lucifer grab Cyrus by the hair and raise him up off the ground. Her fiance scared for his life.
"Gee Cyrus, with just one leg, there isn't much use for the other, now is there?"
She nodded to Lucifer, who gladly slid his open wound across Cyrus' other thigh, burning at his leg until that, too, had fallen off as an effect of the acid. He wailed in pain.
"I'm begging you Asuka! I'm sorry! I take back everything I ever did!"
Lucifer held up his tail, but Asuka raised her hand to stop him. She walked over to one of his antique vases on a table, picked it up and brought it over to them. She held it up so he could see it.
"See this vase?"
"Y-Y-Yes?"
She let go and allowed it to shatter on the floor beneath her.
"now say sorry to the vase."
"S-S-S-Sorry!"
Asuka paused for a moment, but then continued.
"Now look at the vase, is it fixed? Is it all better?"
"N-No..."
She saw his arms with no hands and sighed.
"pity. what use are arms without any hands on them. Lucifer?"
Lucifer sounded a pleasantly evil growl and did the same to Cyrus' arms as he did to his other leg. Let his acidic blood do the physical damage for him. The scientists arms fell to the floor beside his legs. He was now just a torso with a head and 4 burnt off stubs coming from his body. The only thing keeping him up was Lucifer grabbing ahold of his hair.
"I-I-I'M SORRY ASUKA!"
She looked at his mortified face and grinned.
"Do I need to get another vase?"
The acid on the floor dried up accept for a small section behind Lucifer where his blood wa still slightly dripping but much less so and Cyrus' wounds were no longer wet with acid but dry, almost crusted limbs. Lucifer released Cyrus and let him drop on the floor with a loud thud. The xenomorph was about to slash at the breathing stump when Asuka held out a hand and yelled.
"STOP! Wait, Lucifer!"
Cyrus felt a small wash of relief come over him. Had his fiance dne everything she needed? Maybe she was going to leave him and he would hire engineers to make him top class prosthetics.
"A-Asuka?"
She stood over him, making him think she was going to let him go, but then she raised a foot and stomped down hard on his male parts. Not that he would be considered a manfrom all the inhumane things he's done.
"That's for two nights ago!"
"FUUUUUUUUUCK!"
Cyrus wailed in pain at the top of his lungs, tears rolling down his pained face. She raised her foot and stomped again, but harder.
"That's for 4 months ago!"
Again.
"That's for that night on your birthday last year!"
"That's for when I was upset and you punished me for being a 'crybaby' at 16!"
"That's for christmas eve when I was 15!"
"For my 14th birthday!"
"At that hotel when I was 12! It was your 16th!"
Holy shit.
Lucifer had no idea the sheer amount of times this monster had done questionable things to his saviour. She deserved better than a cunt like him. Asuka started panting in fustration and took a few steps back, seeing that Cyrus was heavily bleeding from how many times she had smashed his balls and how hard she did it. She stepped back until she reached the edge of the room entrance and muttered out.
"Luce, make him hurt one last time for me."
The xenomorph gave his human a sinister grin and thought of a perfect way to end his miserable life slowly and painfully. He swung around his slightly dripping tail and simply held it over Cyrus' torso. The scientist couldn't even speak after feeling immesurable pain in the crotch from his fiance's foot, but he was terrified of how he would die and even more scared of the way he imagined when he saw the Xenomorph tail dripping with blood above him.
Then a drop of blood fell from Lucifer's tail and hit Cyrus directly over his torso.
Another drop fell, this time hitting where a lung would be.
A third fell, hitting another vital organ. His heart.
Lucifer slunk his tail away and crawled back to watch his target suffer as dd Asuka. They were enjoying the show, watching and admiring how Lucifer's blood was creating burning craters that were eating away at the inside of his body, however then they heard someone call from another room.
"SIR?!"
One of the maids had just started her shift and ran in to check up on Cyrus in the room, but by the time she walked in, Lucifer and Asuka were gone and all they could hear were her screams in horror as her employer eroded on the floor at a rapid pace.
The murderous duo fled the house out the back door and sped off in the direction they came from. Lucifer making sure his blood didn't leave a trail so they wouldn't be followed by anyone later or traced by the FBI or some sinister organisation that wants to cover up anything 'alien' related. They're stil at it even after space exploration was declared possible for long time periods as well as the terraforming programs that could discover an alien race for all she knew.
As they rushed through the trees as fast as they could, Lucifer heard behind him the out of breath but also pleased human who had both saved him and that he had saved. His debt was done.
"Asuka. You are a good human. Be well."
He turned around and was about to speed off in another direction when Asuka stopped him.
"WAIT!"
"what is it?"
"Where are you going, Lucifer?"
"I must head back to my hive. The Queen will be there waiting for me and is probably wondering where I am and why I have been gone so long and sofar away from hertelepathic signal she uses to communicate to us. My debt is also repayed to you, so now I have no more reason to hang around. Goodbye Asuka. I hope you stay alive and well."
Asuka wanted to stop him, but he was too fast for her. Within moments, her warrior had dashed through the landscape and was nowhere in her sight. Just gone without a trace. The human fell to her knees and tears began to creep from her eyes.
"Lucifer... don't go..."
PHEW! XD
wow folks, it's been a while hasn't it? XD things like a big gap between chapters happen when you get a TROJAN show up as well as some other anti virus junk and you ry to type 2 chapters at once and your exams are coming up and you need to work on assignments and and and and now the chapter is up. XD
I will admit this one feels rushed. O_o But I'll go back over it at one point later on and fix it up a bit. XD maybe not make Asuka seem like a bit of a sue, but thats my views. XD
Again, don't feel shy to drop me a message or a review. how'd you like the story? is there anything you don't like or think i can improve on? I wanna hear ALL your wise words! :D
See you next time in Chapter 7: Asuka vs Wild! Stick around! :3
