Ian:
Thank you very much, Liz.
Liz looks at Noah for a moment. Noah takes a deep breath before speaking.
Noah:
Happy birthday, Ian.
Ian:
What?
Luke looks at Noah, then at Ian.
Noah:
What? Can't I wish you a happy birthday?
Ian:
Well, you've never done it before. Why would you start now?
Luke:
Ian, just stop, ok.
Noah:
Forget I said anything.
Ian stands up and looks Noah in the face. Ashley and Jason stand up as well.
Ian:
No, now I think its time to tell you what I really think, Noah.
Jason:
Ian, just drop it. Don't ruin your party.
Ashley:
Ian.
Ian takes a step toward Noah, who appears to be getting angrier with each passing moment. Liz notices Noah's rising temper.
Noah:
Ian, just fucking drop it.
Ian:
No, fuck you Noah. For three years you have hurt and insulted Luke and I'm not gonna stand by and let you hurt my boyfriend, your brother, anymore.
Luke:
You guys, please stop.
Noah looks at Ian, then at Liz for a second, then back at Ian.
Noah:
You know what, fuck you faggot.
Liz:
Noah!
Ian:
That's it, queer basher. You're dead!
And with that, Ian rushes toward Noah and tackles him to the ground. Ashley screams for s brief second, Liz yells at Ian and Noah. Luke stands up and slowly limps his way over to the brawl.
On the ground, Ian pins Noah to the floor. After a moment, Noah knees him in the stomach. Ian gasps in pain as he falls to the floor. Noah gets up to his feet and walks out the front door.
Liz stares at Ian for a moment, then follows Noah outside. Jason rushes over to Ian and helps him sit up against the couch.
Ext. Warner house – Night.
Liz walks out through the open front door and she notices Noah standing in front of the house, looking out across the dark, open desert.
Liz:
Noah, what the hell were you doing?
Noah:
You see Liz, they won't let me even say one fucking nice word to them.
Liz:
Well, you have been a dick to them for three, four years. I don't blame them, but...
Noah:
Why do I even try?
Liz:
Because you love your brother. You want to have the ability to hang out with him again like you both used to when you were younger.
Noah turns around and stares at Liz. Liz starts walking toward Noah. After a moment, she gives Noah a slight smile.
Noah:
I'm sorry Liz.
Liz:
Maybe I can talk them into letting you speak or...
At that moment, we hear the Predator clicking sound. Noah and Liz turn and look up.
Liz:
Did you hear that?
Noah:
Yeah. Where did it...
Noah and Liz turn to look across the open desert. Standing maybe 20 feet away from them is the Chopper Predator. He turns, clicks again and suddenly cloaks. However, his eyes flash for a brief second.
Noah and Liz stare at where the thing was for a moment before turning and running back into the house.
Int. Warner house – Living room – Night.
We see Noah and Liz run into the house, Noah closing the door and locking it afterwards. Luke, Ian, Ashley and Jason stare at them, confused.
Ashley:
What's going on?
Liz:
There was... something out there.
Luke stares at Liz, then at his brother.
Luke:
What? What was?
Noah:
I don't know. I... I've never seen anything like it before.
Jason:
What happened?
Liz and Noah:
I don't know!
Noah looks at Luke for a moment, then walks over to him. Ian shoots Noah a nasty look.
Luke:
What should we do?
Noah:
Try and get a hold of father or someone.
Suddenly, all the lights in the house go out. The only light is coming from the night sky outside.
Liz:
Shit.
Noah:
It must have gotten to the generator out back.
Jason grabs a hold of Ashley. Ian walks over to Luke and takes his hand into his own.
Ian: (to Luke)
You ok, sweetie?
Luke:
I'm ok.
Liz turns and looks out the front living room window. After a moment, Noah joins her.
Noah:
You see anything?
Liz:
No.
Suddenly, we hear the Predator clicking sound. Everyone in the room turns and looks around, starting to get a little scared.
Ashley:
What was that?
Liz:
(after a pause) What we saw outside.
Noah takes Liz gently by the hand and pulls her away from the window.
Noah:
We shouldn't stay too close to the windows.
Liz nods her head in agreement. Suddenly, we see the head of an alien appear through the window. It roars at the people inside before it leaps through the glass and into the living room. Jason and Ashley fall to the floor.
Noah grabs Liz by the arm and pulls her away from the Alien and Luke grabs Ian by the arm as Ian stands in front of his boyfriend.
The Alien hisses at Ashley and Jason as they struggle to their feet. At the sight of the Alien, Ashley screams in terror. The Alien's tail sways back and forth, like the tail of an angry cat.
Noah:
Run! Get to the PTV! Go out through the back!
Noah, Liz, Ashley, Jason, Ian and Luke turn to run down the short hallway, toward the back of the house. Ian takes one of Luke's arms and throws it over his shoulder to help support Luke as they run.
Ext. Back of Warner house – Night.
We are now out back of the Warner house. After a moment, we see the back door that leads into the kitchen open up and Noah and Liz appear. They run out of the house and turn to look back. Ashley and Jason follow them, with Ian and Luke coming out last.
We see Noah turn to run toward the PTV, but he suddenly falls onto the ground, almost as if he hit something. Liz kneels down next to him. They both look up and we see something... fuzzy standing in front of them
It turns and looks down. We hear it make the clicking sound. Liz's eyes widen.
Liz:
Holy shit.
We see Ashley, Jason, Ian and Luke stop moving and stay at this... invisible thing standing in front of them (even though the Predators can cloak, we can still see their outlines).
Suddenly we hear a hissing sound. Ian and Luke turn around and look at the open back door. We see the Alien's head peaking around the corner. It screeches at the frightened humans.
Chopper POV: We see the Alien, glowing green in this vision mode. It looks up and continues to hiss at the panicked humans standing in front of the Predator.
Suddenly, the Predator de-cloaks and we see that it is Chopper. It looks down at the people, then up at the Alien. Liz helps Noah to his feet. Chopper walks toward the Alien, pushing Ashley to ground in the process.
Jason immediately helps her up and all six of them turn to run toward the PTV. Chopper looks over his shoulder once, then he turns to face the Alien. The serpent snarls at Chopper.
The young predator shakes his wrists and out of the gauntlets on both of his arms we see dual sets of wrist blades appear. After a moment, Chopper gets into a fighting position and roars at the Alien.
Int. PTV – Night.
We see Jason hop into the front seat and he puts the keys into the ignition while Ashley gets into the passenger seat. The back doors open and we see Liz get into the vehicle and we also see Noah and Ian help Luke get into the PTV. Noah is the last person to get into the PTV.
Noah, Liz, Luke and Ian are crammed into the back seat of the vehicle.
Ashley:
Oh my god Jason. Hurry!
Noah:
Come on!
Jason:
I'm trying.
We see Ashley look up, through the windshield, and watch Chopper.
Ext. Back of Warner house – Night.
Chopper roars again to confront the Alien. After a moment, the alien leaps at Chopper. The Predator raises one of his arms and when the alien gets close to him, he swings his arms, cutting the Alien across the stomach with his wrist blades.
The Alien falls to the ground, acid blood pouring out of the large wound in its stomach. Chopper looks down at the dead alien and makes the clicking sound. After a moment, he looks up at the PTV.
Int. PTV – Night.
Ashley screams. Noah leans forward and looks at Jason.
Noah:
Jason, get us the fuck out of here.
Jason:
Hold on!
Jason turns the keys and we hear the engine start. Ashley, Liz, Luke and Ian smile as Jason grabs a hold of the wheel and turns it.
Ext. Back of Warner house – Night.
We see Chopper watch the PTV turn to drive away. He reaches down and takes some type of gun out of its holster around his waist and he aims it at the PTV. We hear it beep for a moment before Chopper fires the gun.
We see it fire some type of small, spear-like object. We see it fly toward the PTV.
Ext. PTV – Night.
We see the small spear-like object strike the side of the PTV. After a moment the tip of the object starts to flash red.
Ext. Back of Warner house – Night.
We see Chopper watch the PTV drive off. We hear a screeching sound and Chopper turns back to face the house.
We see two Aliens on the back of the house. Chopper roars at the serpents. Suddenly, we see a third alien rise up behind Chopper. Chopper turns around and slices the Alien across the chest. The Alien shrieks in pain as it collapses to the ground.
Chopper turns around just in time to see one of the Aliens leap at him. Rapidly, we see a plasma caster rise up from Chopper's back pack. It aims at the Alien and fires a ball of plasma at the creature. The alien explodes into several pieces.
The final alien crawls along the wall of the house, watching Chopper. It hisses at the young predator. Chopper backs up slowly, also watching the Alien.
Chopper's POV: we see the Alien, again glowing green. We watch the alien for a moment.
Suddenly, the Alien leaps at Chopper. Again, the plasma caster turns and aims at the Alien, firing a ball of plasma and again, the alien explodes.
After a moment, Chopper makes the clicking sound again as he slowly walks toward the first Alien he killed, the one with the guts now spilling out of the wound in the stomach.
Chopper looks down at the Alien and kneels down next to it. He makes the clicking sound again as he studies the Alien.
Int. Ranch House – main serving room – Night.
We see Cameron, Warner and Dixon sitting at the bar. Emily is sitting next to Dixon, mending to the burns on his arm with a first-aid kit. The lights inside the restaurant are off, leaving the whole place in partial darkness.
After a moment, we see Gale walk out from the door that leads to the kitchen, carrying 3 bottles of water. She walks over to the bar and hands Emily one of the bottles. Gale then walks over to a table nearby where the teen boy and teen girl are sitting.
Gale hands the boy one of the last two bottles.
Teen boy:
Thank you very much.
Gale:
No problem. You two alright?
The teen girl shakes her head no.
Teen girl:
I saw my sister get killed, my father get killed, my mom get killed.
The teen girl wipes away tears from her face. The teen boy leans over and kisses her on the cheek.
Teen Boy:
Its ok, I won't let anything bad happen to you.
Gale smiles as she turns and walks toward the bar, where we begin to hear what they are talking about.
Warner:
...according to what Emily told me, these things first appeared inside the mines. That's where they came from and that's where they probably went.
Cameron:
So what do you think we should do?
Dixon:
We have to send out a message to someone, anyone nearby. We need help and we can't do this by ourselves. We won't survive a day without guns.
Warner:
There are a few handguns and shotguns back at the control center, but not nearly enough ammo to kill all of those creatures.
Dixon:
We're fucked, then.
Warner takes a deep breath, we can tell that something is bothering him.
Gale:
You ok?
Warner:
I have no idea if my sons are ok.
Cameron looks at Warner, then at Gale.
Cameron:
Where's Liz?
Gale:
I don't know.
Cameron:
Its gonna be ok, Gale.
Gale:
I hope so. I'm just... really scared.
We see Gale wipe away a tear from her eyes as she fights them back. After a moment, Cameron turns to face Warner.
Cameron:
What are we gonna do?
Warner:
Our best bet is to head over to the control center, send out an emergency message, call in Marine forces and... fight these things off for as long as we can.
We see Dixon nod his head as Emily finishes up cleaning the burn marks on his arm.
Dixon:
I'm ok with that plan. Its all we can do right now.
Emily nods her head in agreement. Cameron turns and looks at Gale, who is staring out the windows, observant.
Cameron:
I'm for that, as well.
Emily:
Me too.
We see the two teens walk over to bar. Warner turns and looks at them.
Teen boy:
I'm up for the Control center.
Teen girl: (to teen boy)
I'm going with you.
Cameron continues to watch Gale.
Cameron:
Gale, what about you?
Gale turns and looks at the group for a moment.
Gale:
Count me in.
Int. Med-center – waiting room – Night.
We see the deserted waiting room of the med-center. Papers are scattered about the floor, chairs are turned over and we see dried up blood patches here and there on the walls and on the floor.
After a moment, we hear the familiar predator clicking sound. Suddenly, through the open doorway, we see a blurry object walk into the waiting room and look around. After a moment, it de-cloaks and we learn that it is the Predator Acid.
He looks at one of the over-turned chairs and studies it for a moment.
Acid POV: We see the whole room colored blue, with several patches of orange and yellow here and there, where the blood is located.
Acid looks at his wrist computer and presses a button on it. It opens up and Acid presses a few more buttons. He continues to make the clicking sound as he does so.
After a moment, we hear a faint hissing sound. Acid looks up at the door that leads into the hallway. Acid closes his wrist computer and starts to walk toward the door, which is partially open.
Int. Med-center – hallway – Night.
We are now in the hallway, focusing on the door that leads to the waiting room. The hallway is almost in darkness because there are no lights on.
After a moment, we see the door open up as Acid pushes it open, slowly. He looks around the hallway as he continues to make the clicking sound.
Acid POV: We are still in thermal vision, which leaves everything in sight blue. After a moment, we see it switch to a light-green colored vision mode, which illuminates a small area in front of one of the doors. This area is slightly glowing orange.
Acid reaches down to his waist and pulls out the smaller hand-held version of the plasma caster, which we will now refer to this new weapon as the plasma pistol.
Acid aims the plasma pistol at the doorway where we see a small pile of... slimy skin laying on the ground; the shredded skin of a chestburster. Acid slowly walks toward the doorway and looks into the room.
Int. Med-center – Delivery room – Night.
We see Acid standing in the doorway. In front of us, we see the young mother from before laying on the bed, with her chest open and blood all over her body, the bed and the floor.
Acid slowly walks into the room, staring at the dead woman.
Acid POV: We see the woman laying on the bed, with no other color on her body than blue, dark blue. A black patch is located where her chest has bursted open.
Acid makes the clicking sound as he turns and looks out the door. He turns and looks at the dead woman for a moment before turning again and walking toward the door and out of the room.
Int. Med-center – hallway – Night.
We see Acid walk out of the delivery room and turn to look at the door that leads to the waiting room. Suddenly, as Acid turns to look down the hallway, we see an Alien leap at Acid and both creatures fall to the ground.
The alien pins Acid to the ground. It shoots out its inner mouth at Acid, but the predator moves his head just in time. Acid reaches up with his right hand and he grabs the Alien by the throat. The serpent screeches as Acid uses all of his strength to chock the Alien.
After a moment, we see the Alien collapse onto Acid's body. He pushes the dead xenomorph off of himself and he stands up. He looks down the hallway and we see another alien, crouching on the ground, looking at Acid.
Acid roars as he aims the plasma pistol at the Alien and he fires, sending a ball of plasma out of the gun and straight at the Alien, who explodes, sending acid blood and body parts all over the place.
After a moment, Acid lowers the plasma pistol and turns around... just as a facehugger leaps onto his helmet. Acid reaches up to try and pull the facehugger off, but after a moment of struggling, we see him collapse onto the ground; the facehugger still attached to his helmet.
Int. Jason's PTV – Night.
We are back inside the PTV. Liz, Ian, Luke and Noah are in the back seat while Ashley and Jason are up front. Luke is laying up against Ian's shoulder.
Ashley turns and looks back at Noah.
Ashley:
What should we do?
Noah:
I don't know. (beat) I think we should try and head to the Control Center. Maybe those things haven't gotten to the main colony yet.
Jason:
I hope so. My parents are visiting a couple of their friends tonight.
Noah turns and looks at his brother. After a moment, Luke notices and looks at Noah.
Noah:
Are you ok?
Luke:
I'm fine.
We can see, for the first time, Noah give his brother a genuine look of concern. Noah turns and looks at Ian. Ian looks back.
Ian:
Noah...
Noah:
Yeah?
Ian:
I'm sorry... for fighting you earlier.
Noah:
It's ok. I deserved it after all the shit I put you through over the past year.
Jason continues to concentrate on driving through the open desert.
Jason:
I've never seen anything like those creatures before.
Noah:
Me neither. I doubt that they're even from this planet.
Ashley:
Well, who brought them here, then? Why?
Noah:
I don't know and I doubt that we'll ever find out.
Noah looks over at Liz, who is looking at him.
Noah:
Liz...
Liz:
Are there any weapon storages in Eclipse?
Noah:
Yeah... at the Control Center. There's a locked room at the center and my father has the keys to it.
Liz turns and looks at Jason.
Liz:
Jason, head for the Control Center.
Jason:
Noah... are you sure?
Noah:
Yeah, but we have to find my father first.
Jason nods his head as he continues to drive the PTV.
Int. Med-center – hallway – night.
We are again in the hallway of the med-center. We see Acid laying on the floor, with the facehugger laying next to him and the part of his mask that is over his mouth has melted.
Down the hallway we see the two dead aliens. Thin streams of smoke continue to rise from where the acid blood spilled onto the floor. We focus on this scene for a moment.
After a moment, we see the door that leads to the waiting room slowly open and we see the Genesis Captain walk through the doorway and into the hallway. His uniform is torn and his face looks a little bruised up.
As he walks through the hallway, slowly, he looks down at Acid's unconscious body. He stares at it for a moment before walking over to it and kneeling down. The Captain places one of his hands on Acid's mask and feels the texture.
Genesis Captain:
What the hell are you?
Suddenly, the body shakes and one of Acid's hands reaches up and grabs the Captain's neck. The captain struggles to free himself as his face grows redder and redder. Acid turns and looks at the Captain... and roars in pain.
Acid lets go of the Captain as he sits up and reaches up to his chest. The Captain lays on the ground, watching Acid scratch at his chest. We can hear the sound of flesh being torn and bones breaking. After a moment, we see Acid's chest bulge.
The Captain starts to crawl away as Acid's chest bulges again and again. The captain looks over his shoulder just in time to see Acid's chest explode, sending bits of flesh and glowing green blood all over the surrounding floor and wall.
Wiggling out of his chest, we can see what looks like a chestburster, but this one is different. The coloring is darker and most noticeably, we can see four little predator mandibles surrounding its mouth. Glowing green blood covers the predalien chestburster.
The chestburster turns and looks at the Captain, who is staring at it in shock. The predalien chestburster shrieks for a moment.
Suddenly, for the first time ever, we see the predalien chestburster leap out of Acid's body and leap toward the Captain. We watch the predalien chestburster travel through the air in slow-motion, watching in awe and terror as this hybrid creature flies through the air, toward the Captain.
Time speeds up to normal again and the predalien chestburster uses its predator mandibles to bite the Captain's neck. Red blood flows out of the wound as the Captain struggles to pulls the snake-like creature off of his neck.
Every time the Captain opens his mouth to scream, blood comes out of his mouth. He lets out a moan as the predalien chestburster continues to tear open his throat.
Int. Predator Ship – observation room.
We are now back inside the Predator ship. We are in a room that has predator symbols on three sides of the room and a large, digital screen of some kind on the forth.
We see Celtic standing in front of the room, looking up at the screen. We can see, on the screen, an aerial view of the colony. It seems to be playing back what happened earlier; we see Aliens crawling on buildings, leaping onto people, dragging others in the direction of the mining tunnels.
Suddenly, a loud beeping sound fills the room. On the screen we see a predator read-out and even though it is in the Predator language, we can tell that it is some kind of counter.
We see Celtic looking at this counter, flexing his mandibles as he does so. After a moment, he roars at what he must of read and walks out of the room.
Int. Predator ship – weapons room.
We see a large wall with different Predator tools and weapons hanging on it. After a moment, we see Celtic walk up to the wall. He reaches over and takes his mask off the wall and places it on his face. He makes the clicking sound as he does so.
We now see a brief montage of images...
- Celtic grabbing two shurikens off the wall and placing them on his belt.
- Celtic taking a plasma pistol and also placing it on his belt, in its holster.
- We see Celtic taking some type of case-like object off the wall and attaching it to his metallic back-pack.
Int. Predator ship – transportation pod room.
We see Celtic enter this room and walk over to a doorway that leads to another pod. He presses a few buttons on the panel next to the doorway to start the Predator countdown.
Celtic makes the clicking sound as we see him walk into the pod and the pod door closes behind him.
Ext. Atmosphere above Eclipse – Predator ship – Night.
We see the ship still flying over the colony. After a moment we see a flash of light on the bottom of the Predator ship; the pod being ejected from the ship and traveling down towards the planet.
Ext. open desert – Night.
We see the wide open desert for a moment, a few small bushes scattered about. In the distance we see the Eclipse colony, with smoke rising into the night sky here and there. From here, the whole colony looks dark, lifeless.
After a moment, right in front of us, we see the pod crash into the ground, sending up dirt and sand into the air. After the dirt and sand settles back down onto the ground, we get a better look at the cylindrical pod in the crater it made for itself.
We zoom in on the pod, sticking out of the ground. After a moment, we see the pod's door open. We hear the clicking sound come from inside the pod.
Int. Control Center – Main lobby – Night.
We see the lobby, acid burns on the walls and floor, blood splattered on the floor and walls as well. We see a couple of bodies scattered about the lobby, but they are all torn up and covered in blood.
After a moment, the glass front doors shatter. We see the outline of something enter the lobby. It de-cloaks and we see Celtic looking around the lobby. In his hand he is holding his plasma pistol.
He makes the clicking sound as he slowly walks toward an open door, aiming the pistol at the doorway. As he gets closer to the door, we hear the aliens hissing. Celtic looks around the lobby for a moment before turning back toward the door.
Int. Control Center – terminal – Night.
We see Celtic walk into the terminal of the control center. Several bodies lay on the ground, their chests bursted open and blood covering their chests. Celtic looks around as he slowly walks through the terminal, being very cautious and observant.
We continue to hear the hissing, which sounds faint and distant, but we can tell that it is coming from within the control center. We see Celtic walk through the terminal, slowly for a moment.
After another moment, we hear a screeching sound. Celtic turns around and looks at the doorway. He takes a couple of steps toward the doorway, making the clicking sound as he walks.
We again hear a faint hissing sound. Celtic turns around and looks around the terminal. He raises the plasma pistol. Suddenly, we see an Alien rise up from behind Celtic. It hisses, causing Celtic to turn around.
The alien grabs Celtic by the head and its lips quiver in rage. Celtic reaches down, takes one of his shurikens and opens it. Celtic takes the shuriken and jams it into the side of the Alien. The serpent shrieks in pain as it collapses onto the floor, its acid blood melting the floor beneath it.
Celtic stares at the dead Alien before reaching down and grabbing the shuriken. As he looks at the xenomorph, he makes the clicking sound. Suddenly, we hear the shrieking sound again. Celtic turns and looks down the terminal.
Celtic POV: We see three Aliens rise up from behind debris. They all turn and hiss at Celtic.
Celtic reaches down and grabs the other shuriken from his belt and opens that one up. Two of the aliens leap onto the walls and start to move toward Celtic. In one, impressive motion, we see Celtic throw the two shurikens at the Aliens on the walls, then he reaches down, grabs the plasma pistol and fires it at the third Alien, who leaps at the adult Predator.
The shurikens cut off the heads of the Aliens on the walls, causing their bodies to fall onto the ground. The ball of plasma strikes the third Alien, causing it to explode into several pieces.
After a moment, Celtic examines the dead alien bodies and the smoke rising from the acid marks on the walls and floors. He lowers the plasma pistol and puts it back in its holster.
Celtic walks toward one of the alien bodies and kneels down next to it. He looks at it for a moment.
Celtic POV: We see the Alien laying on the floor. In the green colored vision mode, the Alien gives off a faint orange glow. We see Celtic's hand reach down and touch the head of the Alien.
We see Celtic stand up and look toward the door on the other end of the terminal. Celtic starts to walk toward it, still being observant. After a moment, we hear more hissing. Celtic makes the clicking sound as he turns to look out one of the windows.
Suddenly, we see an alien leap out from behind a desk and toward Celtic. Celtic reaches out and grabs the Alien by the neck, holding it away from himself with as much energy as possible. The alien hisses and shoots out its inner mouth at Celtic several times.
Suddenly, we see a second Alien leap at Celtic. He reaches out and grabs the other Alien by the throat as well. We can see Celtic starting to struggle a bit as he tries to keep the two Aliens away from him. They shoot out their inner mouths and hiss and screech at Celtic.
After a moment, we see Celtic throw the first Alien halfway across the terminal. With his now free hand he reaches down, grabs the plasma pistol and fires it at the Alien.
Celtic turns to look at the second Alien before he tosses this one as well. Again he aims the plasma pistol at the alien and fires it. We smash cut to...
Int. Ranch House – Main serving room – Night.
We see Warner, Cameron and Dixon walk out the kitchen. Warner is now holding the handgun the teen boy had earlier. Emily, Gale, the teen boy and teen girl are standing next to a table.
Warner:
We're heading to the Control Center in four minutes.
Emily:
Is that handgun all we got until we reach the Control Center?
Warner looks down at the handgun, then back up at Emily.
Warner:
Yeah, but don't worry. I'm sure we'll make it to the Center before we encounter any more of those things.
Teen boy:
But what if they're waiting outside, waiting for us to walk out of here?
Warner:
I doubt those things are smart enough to set up an ambush.
The teen girl rests her head on the teen boy's shoulder. He wraps his arm around her, to hold her gently.
Suddenly, we hear the sound of glass breaking. Everyone turns and looks at the door that leads to the kitchen. Warner aims the gun at the door.
Emily:
What the fuck was that?
Warner:
Everyone, stay here.
Warner slowly walks toward the door. Dixon and Cameron stand in front of Gale, Emily and the two teenagers.
Int. Ranch House – kitchen – Night.
We are now in the kitchen. It is almost completely dark in here. We see pots, pans, glasses and plates cover the counters.
After a moment, we see Warner walk in through the door, aiming the handgun into the darkness. He looks around the kitchen, his eyes straining to look through the darkness.
Warner:
Is anyone in here?
We hear faint hissing sound. Warner takes several more steps into the dark kitchen. He turns to look at the door, then turns back. After a moment, we hear a slithering-like sound. We hear the Predator clicking sound.
Suddenly, we see Warner fall onto the ground. We focus on him on the ground and we see an Alien tail slither underneath his legs. Warner turns and reaches for the gun. We hear a loud hissing sound. Warner grabs the handgun and turns around to face...
... an Alien. Its lips quiver in rage. Warner stares at the Alien in terror, crawling away from it as he continues to stare at it. The Alien hisses at Warner again. Warner raises the handgun and aims it at the Alien.
Suddenly, the Alien turns its head to the left, then very violently to the right. We hear bones crack inside the Alien's neck. The dead body collapses onto the ground. Warner stares at the Alien body, then up at the air above it.
We hear Predator clicking as a figure de-cloaks: Celtic. Celtic turns and looks down at Warner. Warner stares up at Celtic, in shock. After a moment, Warner raises the handgun and fires it once at Celtic.
Glowing green blood explodes out of the wound on his abs. Celtic roars in pain as Warner stands up and runs out of the kitchen.
Int. Ranch House – Main serving room – Night.
We see Warner run out of the kitchen. Everyone looks at him in shock and confusion.
Dixon:
What happened?
Warner:
We have to get the hell out of here. Now!
Everyone turns and runs toward the front doors. The teen boy takes his girlfriend's hand into his own as they run. Cameron does the same thing with Gale.
Ext. Ranch House – Night.
We see Warner, Gale, Cameron, Dixon, Emily and the two teenagers run out of the Ranch House. The moment the teen boy runs through the door, we see an Alien fall on top of him. The teen boy screams, causing his girlfriend to turn around and scream as well.
Teen Girl:
Shit! Jake!
Teen boy:
Go! Run!
We see Dixon run up to the teen girl, grab her by the hand and pull her away. She continues to scream in terror. We see the alien dig it's claws into the teen boy's back, it's long tail withering in excitement.
The teen boy tries to fight off the Alien, but to no such luck.
Teen Boy:
Get the fuck off me, dick face.
The alien screeches at the boy. After a second, we hear a faint humming sound. We focus on the back of the alien's head as it continues to pin the teen boy to the ground. We see three small red dots appear on the back of the Alien's head.
Suddenly, we see a ball of plasma fly out through the front door and it slams into the Alien, causing it's head to explode. The corpse collapses onto the teen boy, with so much acid blood spilling onto him, his face, chest and arms begin to melt. The teen boy lets out one final gasp before his entire face melts into a pile of flesh and blood.
After a moment, we see Celtic appear in the doorway, with the plasma pistol in his hand. He looks down at the alien's and teen boy's corpses for a moment. He looks up, in the direction that the others ran toward.
Celtic walks over the bodies and starts to make his way back to the Control Center.
Ext. Control Center – Night.
We see the rest of the group run toward the control center, with Warner leading the way. Dixon is still holding the teen girl's hand. Her face is wet with tears.
Warner:
Come on. We're almost there.
Just as they make their way to the front door, we see an Alien appear in the doorway. It turns it's elongated, eyeless head towards the group and hisses at them.
Everyone stops running and stares at the Alien in terror for a brief second. The teen girl lets out a loud scream at the sight of the alien. Warner raises the handgun up and he fires three bullets into the Alien's head. Acid blood erupts out of the wounds, splashing onto the walls.
Warner:
Ahh, fuck.
Dixon:
Is there a back entrance?
Warner:
We can try the landing pad entrance. Come on!
Warner, Gale, Cameron, Dixon, Emily and the teen girl run toward the concrete wall that holds the landing pad. Warner rushes up to the door and tries to swipe a card in front of a small panel next to the door. Every time he tries, the panel starts to beep.
Emily:
What's wrong?
Warner:
The fucking panel won't read my card.
Gale: (o.s.)
Holy shit!
We see Warner turn around and look in the direction that Gale is looking. About a hundred feet away, we see Celtic walking toward the group, with the plasma pistol still in his hand.
The teen girl, again, screams as the Predator gets closer and closer. Cameron turns and grabs the card from Warner. Warner raises the handgun and aims it at the Predator.
Cameron:
Let me try it.
Cameron swipes the card over the panel and after a moment, a little screen on the panel flashes green. The steel door opens and reveals the landing pad, with the shuttle still on the pad.
Cameron moves aside so that Dixon, the teen girl and Emily can walk through. Cameron reaches out and grabs Gale's hand.
Cameron:
We have to go!
With Celtic now 20 feet away from the landing pad entrance, we see Cameron, Warner and Gale slowly back up into the landing pad area. Celtic stops walking and raises the plasma pistol up and aims it at Warner. Warner continues to aim the handgun at Celtic.
Warner:
Come on, mother fucker. You make the first move.
Celtic tilts his head to the side and stares at Warner. He roars at the human after a second.
Celtic: (audio recording of Warner)
You make the first move.
Suddenly, we see something large fall onto the ground behind Celtic, from a nearby building. Celtic turns around and stares at it. Warner, Gale and Cameron do the same.
We see the Predalien, now fully grown, rise up. It's head is elongated, but about half as long as a normal Alien head. Dreadlock, similar to the Predator's, hang from the sides of the head. The creature is a little bit bigger than Celtic. The four Predator mandibles surround the slimy mouth of this beast. It's color and the texture of it's body is reminiscent of the Predator's. It stands more upright, like a Predator, than the normal Alien stance.
Warner stares at the creature in shock.
Warner:
What the fuck is that thing?
Gale:
Come on, let them fight this battle.
Warner nods his head as he, Gale and Cameron turn, close the metal door behind them and run into the control center.
Back outside of the landing pad area, we see Celtic get into his iconic fighting position. He roars at the Predalien as he tosses the plasma pistol aside. The Predalien roars at Celtic, it's roar sounding like a mix of the Alien's screech and the Predator roar. It's long spiky tail sways violently back and forth.
Celtic runs toward the Predalien, but the hybrid turns and strikes Celtic with it's powerful tail. The hit sends Celtic flying into the side of a building, several yards away. After a brief second, Celtic stands up and roars at the Predalien again.
The Predalien hisses at Celtic before it charges at Celtic. At the last moment, Celtic dodges the Predalien, causing the creature to smash into the wall. Celtic turns and punches the Predalien in the side of its body.
The hybrid turns and punches Celtic straight in the center of his mask. Celtic stumbles backward, but quickly recovers. Celtic shakes his wrist and his wrist-blades appear from the gauntlet on his wrist. Celtic charges the Predalien and jams his blades into the hybrid's chest.
The Predalien roars in pain as it reaches down and pulls Celtic's wrist-blades out of it's chest. Celtic slices the Predalien on it's stomach, causing acid blood to spill out. Celtic roars as he slowly walks toward the Predalien, who is screeching in pain.
Suddenly, the hybrid turns and slams Celtic across the chest with its tail. Celtic flies several feet backward. After a second, Celtic shakes off the pain as he stands up.
Suddenly, we see the claws of the Predalien grasp Celtic by the head. Celtic struggles to free himself. It's mandibles open up and the slime covered jaws slowly open, revealing the inner mouth.
Celtic roars, stabbing the Predalien in the stomach with his wrist blades. The hybrid screeches, dropping Celtic to the ground. Celtic rolls away from the Predalien. After a brief second, he stands up and stares at the Predalien.
The Predalien looks down at the ground, then up at the Predator standing in front of it. The Predalien roars as it charges at Celtic, knocking the Predator to the ground again.
The Predalien pins Celtic to the ground, hissing at the Predator. The mandibles spread open, again revealing the slime covered mouth. The Predalien hisses at Celtic, who slaps the Predalien in the side of the head with his free hand.
The slime covered mouth opens up, showing us the inner mouth. Celtic roars at the Predalien, who after a second shoots his inner mouth out at Celtic's head. Glowing green blood and pieces of flesh erupt out of the back of Celtic's head. The Predator lays motionless on the ground, with the Predalien looking down at it's kill.
With it's mouth covered in green blood, the Predalien stands up above Celtic's dead body and roars into the night sky. We watch the Predalien for a moment.
Int. Control Center – Communications room – Night.
We see Gale, Warner, Dixon, Cameron, Emily and the teen girl rush into the dark communications room. The whole place looks like a mess; papers are scattered on the ground, computer screens are smashed and blood is splattered on the walls and desks.
Gale puts her hand over her mouth as she looks around the room. Warner aims the gun into the near darkness, staying very observant. Cameron looks around curiously, mainly at the desks and computers.
Cameron:
Alright, what do we do now?
Warner:
We should try and find a computer that still works, type up an emergency message and scan for any nearby starships.
Gale:
How long will that take?
Warner:
Well, 5 minutes to type up a message, then possibly hours to try and find a starship that can reach us in time.
Cameron turns and looks up at Warner.
Cameron:
Don't you think we should try and communicate with Weyland-Yutani? I mean, they have other colonies in this system and maybe they can reach us faster.
Warner:
The corporation won't be able to help us. They won't know what the fuck to do.
Cameron:
You never know.
Warner looks at Cameron curiously, then starts to walk over to the door that leads to his office. Gale and Dixon follow him while Emily and the Teen Girl stand near the doorway, keeping an eye out.
Int. Control Center – Warner's office – Night.
We see Warner walk into his office, books and papers litter the floor. Gale and Dixon follow Warner after a moment.
Dixon:
Does your computer still work?
Warner:
Hold on, let me check.
Warner walks over to his desk and presses a button on the computer's monitor. After a moment, the screen turns on and the WY logo appears on the screen. Warner smiles as he looks up at Dixon and Gale.
Warner:
We're good.
Gale:
Thank God. Who are you gonna try and contact?
Warner:
(after a moment) Everyone. Especially the USCM.
Dixon:
Richard, it'll take the USCM weeks to get here.
Warner:
They always have star-cruisers passing by us, at least twice a month. Hopefully one of them is nearby.
Dixon:
I hope to God you're right.
Warner:
Me too.
We see Warner sit down at the computer desk and he starts to type on the keyboard.
Ext. Mechanical Garage – Night.
We focus on the deserted garage for a moment. It looks lifeless, like the rest of the colony. After a moment we see Jason's PTV drive toward the garage. We can faintly hear the hissing of Aliens as the PTV gets closer and closer.
Int. PTV – Night.
Jason and Ashley up front look through the windshield of the PTV. Liz, Ian, Luke and Noah look out through the side windows.
Noah:
Oh shit.
Ashley: (scared)
God no. Please God no.
Ian:
Damn. Those things must have struck here as well.
Jason:
Son of a bitch. That means that there are a hell of a lot more of those fuckers. (beat) Should we still hit the Control Center?
Noah:
Yeah, I guess.
Jason nods his head as he turns the wheel of the PTV to the right.
Ext. Mechanical Garage – Night.
We see the PTV move slowly past the garage. We pull back on the PTV, about 15 feet. We now focus on the ground, where we see some type of cloaked device laying on the ground. This object is giving off a faint, rhythmic beeping sound.
As the PTV gets closer and closer, the beeping becomes more intense. After a moment, the PTV is no more than 5 feet from this object and suddenly, it explodes.
We see the explosion rip across the dirt covered road. The PTV drives through the explosion as it starts to turn onto it's side.
Int. PTV – Night.
Everyone is screaming inside the PTV. The vehicle turns on its side as it crashes into another parked PTV in the road. Everyone falls out of their seats and onto the windows of the PTV. The windshield shatters as the PTV crashes into the other PTV.
After everything calms down, we see Jason and Ashley struggle to sit up. They both are bruised and have a few scratches on them. Jason looks over the side of the seat (remember, the PTV is on its side) and at the rest of group.
Noah is laying next to Luke, while Ian and Liz are laying on top of each other. Noah turns his head and looks at his younger brother, who is wincing in pain.
Noah:
Shit... Luke, you ok?
Luke:
Ahhh... my leg. It hurts soo much.
Ian: (o.s.)
Sweetie...
We see Ian turn sit up and look at Luke. He places an arm around Luke.
Ian: (cont'd)
Oh God, are you ok? Can you move?
We see a few tears roll down Luke's face.
Luke:
I don't know. It hurts.
Ian:
It's gonna be ok. I promise.
Liz:
We need to get out of here now. Whatever did that could come back.
Noah:
You're right. We need to leave. Luke, can you move?
Luke:
I... I think so.
Ian:
I'll help you.
Noah:
Me too. (beat) It'll be ok, Luke.
Luke looks at his brother, then leans over and hugs him. Noah holds onto his brother for a moment while Luke tries to fight back tears.
Ext. Mechanical Garage – Night.
We see the PTV, still laying on its side. After a moment, we see Jason and Ashley tumble out of the vehicle through the shattered windshield. Ashley stands up and looks around the area.
We see Jason kneel in front of the windshield and after a moment we see that he and Noah are carefully helping Luke out of the wrecked PTV. Once they clear the PTV, Noah helps Luke stand up and Luke leans up against the PTV. Luke reaches down and rubs the cast on his leg for a moment.
Ian crawls out through the windshield and walks over to Luke. Noah kneels down on the ground and reaches into the PTV, where Liz is still crawling through.
Noah:
Come on Liz, I got ya.
At that moment, we hear the Predator clicking sound. Everyone looks up and around the area.
Ian:
Oh shit.
Ashley:
Oh my God, hurry!
We see Liz grab Noah's hand and he pulls her out of the vehicle. As Liz stands up and leans up against Noah, we see Jason and Ashley start to run down the road.
Jason:
Come on guys, we have to go.
Suddenly, we see a cloaked figure appear in front of Jason. Jason turns to look at it just in time to have the cloaked Predator stab Jason in the stomach with his wrist-blades. Jason screams in pain as he is lifted up off the ground. Ashley notices, stops running and screams.
Ashley:
Oh shit! Jason!
We see blood spill out of Jason's mouth as the cloaked Predator drops Jason to the ground. After a second, we see the Predator de-cloak to reveal the Predator Blaze.
Liz, Noah, Ian and Luke stare at the Predator in shock. Blaze reaches to his back and pulls out a spear. He shakes it slightly, causing it to extend to its full length. Blaze looks at Ashley, who is motionless, too scared to move.
Suddenly, we see an Alien rise up behind Ashley. She doesn't have enough time to turn around and face the creature, because we see it's long tail pierce Ashley's chest. The tip of the tail is covered in blood and sticks out of Ashley's body. Liz screams at the sight.
Noah grabs Liz by the hand and starts to run around the mechanical garage. Ian and Luke watch him.
Noah:
Come on, there is another way to the Control Center.
Ian nods his head and helps support Luke as they start to run as well, with Luke having trouble trying to keep up.
Blaze POV: We see Ian and Luke (in thermal mode) run around and disappear behind the garage. We turn and see the Alien, with Ashley's dead body laying in front of it. We switch to another vision mode, this one where the Alien is glowing orange. We watch the Alien for a moment.
We see the Alien leap at Blaze. Blaze raises the spear and the alien leaps onto the spear, the weapon piercing the Alien through the abdomen. The alien withers in pain as it hisses at Blaze. The teenage Predator shakes the serpent off the spear and stares at the Alien corpse. Suddenly, we hear the hissing of other Aliens nearby.
As Blaze turns around, we see another alien leap out at Blaze. The serpent knocks the Predator to the ground, the spear flies out of Blaze's hand and falls to the ground several feet away. Blaze struggles to fight the Alien off of himself.
He head-butts the alien in the head, but the Alien shoots out its inner mouth at Blaze, but misses him by a few inches. Suddenly, appearing from behind PTVs, roof tops and from around the corners of buildings, we see six Aliens look at Blaze. They all hiss and screech at the Predator.
Blaze roars as the six other Aliens crawl rapidly toward the teenage Predator, slime and drool coming out of their jaws.
Int. Control Center – Communications room – Night.
We see Cameron and Emily standing next to a desk in the still darkened room. The teen girl is sitting at another desk, with her head laying down on it.
After a moment, we see Gale and Warner walk out of Warner's office. Cameron and Emily turn to look at the two of them. The teen girl raises her head up off the desk.
Emily:
So?
Warner:
We'll have to wait and see if anyone responds.
Cameron:
We should also send a message to the company.
Warner:
Why are you soo insistent on sending a fucking message to Weyland-Yutani?
We see Gale think for a brief moment.
Gale: (to Cameron)
You work for Weyland-Yutani, don't you?
Cameron:
Yeah.
Cameron's eyes widen as he turns to look at Gale.
Gale:
You know something. They know something. About these... things.
Cameron:
I don't know shit.
Gale:
Bullshit. You know what they are. I can tell.
Gale walks over to Cameron and looks him in the eyes.
Gale: (cont'd)
I can see it in your eyes. Tell us what the fuck these things are.
Cameron smiles.
Cameron:
What do they look like to you?
Suddenly, we hear noises coming from another room in the Control Center. Warner walks toward the double-doorway and aims the handgun into the darkness. Everyone looks at doorway.
Liz: (o.s.)
Mom? Mom?!
Noah: (o.s.)
Hello?
We see Warner smile as he lowers the gun. Behind him, we see Gale smile as well.
Gale: (yelling)
Liz? Hon?
Liz: (o.s.)
Mom, where are you?
Warner: (yelling)
We're in the communications room.
We hear what sounds like footsteps for a moment, then suddenly, out of the darkness, we see Liz and Noah, with Ian and Luke behind them. Gale smiles again and tears roll down her eyes. Liz rushes over to her mother and hugs her. Gale holds her daughter tightly.
Liz: (crying)
Mom... I'm sorry.
Gale:
It's ok sweetie. It's ok. I'm just soo happy you're alive.
We see Noah walk over to his father and hug him as well. We see a tear roll down Warner's face as he lets go of Noah.
Warner:
Oh God. I thought that you and your brother were dead.
Noah:
We're ok Dad.
Warner looks up at Luke and Ian, who sitting in office chairs, next to each other. Ian is holding Luke's hand tightly. Warner looks over at his youngest son.
Warner:
You ok, Luke?
Luke:
I'm fine Dad. I hope my leg isn't even more broken than before.
Warner:
What about you, Ian?
Ian:
I'm fine. (beat) Is there anyone else alive?
Warner: (shakes his head)
(pause) I'm sorry.
Noah:
What are we gonna do?
Warner:
We just sent a message out to any nearby starship, asking for assistance. All we can do now is wait.
Noah nods his head. Suddenly, we hear a beeping sound. Warner looks over at a nearby computer and a microphone. Everyone looks at the microphone. Warner walks over to it and picks it up.
Warner:
Hello? Is anyone there?
Voice: (o.s.)
Eclipse, this is the USCM battle cruiser Ironhide. We have received your S.O.S. What's your status, over?
Warner:
Ironhide, our colony is completely overrun with some type of alien creatures. We need immediate evacuation. Over.
Voice: (o.s.)
Eclipse, we can reach you in approximately 18 hours. Hold your current position. Over.
Warner:
Ironhide, if you can, please get here sooner. I don't know if we'll be able to make it through 18 hours. Over.
Voice: (o.s.)
Eclipse, we are going as fast as we can at the current moment. Barricade yourselves inside some type of structure and hold your position until we arrive. Over.
Warner:
(sighs) Yes, Ironhide. We'll do so. We are located inside the colony control center. We'll do the best we can. Over.
Voice: (o.s.)
Roger, Eclipse. Keep this microphone close to you at all times. We'll come as quick as we can. Over and out.
Warner puts the mic down on the desk. Everyone is looking at him, and he knows it.
Warner:
We'll go to the weapons storage room, grab what we can all carry, come back here, barricade this place up and wait for the marines.
Teen girl:
What is those things come in here and there is no where we can get out?
Warner:
(after a moment) If you believe in God, start praying to him. If not, let's hope that you have a quick, painless death if those things get in here.
There is a long moment of silence. We see Gale turn, look at Cameron, then back at her daughter. Liz is leaning up against the wall, with Noah standing next to her. He puts his arm around her waist and Liz leans her head against his shoulder.
Dixon walks out of Warner's office and looks at everyone. Warner turns around and looks at Dixon.
Warner:
See anything?
Dixon:
No. I don't even hear anything.
Warner:
Alright then, let's go to the storage room and get what we need.
Warner walks toward the doorway... only to have an Alien leap onto him and knock the gun out of his hand. Noah pulls Liz away from the Alien. Ian stands up and rushes over to pick up the gun. We see Warner struggle to push the Alien off of his body. Everyone backs up as much as they can. Emily and the Teen Girl scream.
Warner: (to Alien)
Get off of me, you ugly fucker.
Warner knees the Alien right in the stomach, causing the serpent to get off Warner. Warner staggers to get up. He looks at Ian, who is holding the handgun. Warner rushes over to the teenager, takes the gun out of his hand and shoots the Alien three times in the head. Acid blood spills out of the dead Alien's wounds, melting the floor away.
Everyone takes a moment to calm down and stare at the Alien corpse. Warner turns around and looks at everyone else, the now empty handgun still pointed at the Alien.
Warner: (in between breaths)
We need... the guns... now.
Suddenly, we hear the hissing sound come from all around them. Noah grabs Liz by the arm and gently pulls her to the center of the room. Ian helps a frightened Luke stand up.
Gale:
It's too late. They're already here.
Suddenly, we see an Alien come crashing down from the ceiling tiles and land on top of Emily. Emily screams in horror as the Alien hisses at her, then shoots out its inner mouth at Emily's head. Blood erupts out of the massive wound.
Noah ducks down behind a desk, pulling Liz down with him.
Noah:
Come on. Stay down.
We see Ian standing in front of Luke, with another Alien crouched down several feet away. His is holding a chair in his hands. The Alien screeches at Ian, its tail swaying back and forth.
Ian swings the chair at the Alien's head. We hear bones crack from inside the Alien as it collapses onto the ground. Ian drops the chair and continues to stand in front of Luke, in a protective manner.
We see the Teen Girl scream as another Alien crawls on the ceiling above her. She looks up, sees it and screams again. She turns and runs toward the doorway, only to have the Alien leap onto her. The Teen Girl screams again as the Alien pulls her into the darkness, screeching.
Warner runs over to the Alien that is still crouched over Emily's body. It turns its head and hisses at Warner. It leaps onto the ceiling and crawls over to hole in the ceiling that it jumped through. Gale stands under the hole, looking up.
Warner:
Mrs. Bennet, don't stand...
Before Warner can finish speaking, we see the claws of the Alien warrior reach down, grab Gale by her head and pull her up into the ceiling. We can hear Gale scream.
There is a moment of silence as everyone looks around in shock. Warner looks up at the hole in the ceiling. We see Noah and Liz stand up and look around.
Liz:
Mom?
Warner looks over at Liz.
Warner:
Ms. Bennet, I don't know what...
Liz stares at Warner, then up at the ceiling.
Liz:
Mom? Mom?!
Liz runs over to where the hole is in the ceiling, then she looks up at it. Warner tries to pull her away, but Liz fights back, starting to cry as she does so.
Warner:
Liz, please. Calm down.
Liz:
MOM!?
Noah walks over to Liz and grabs her. Liz buries her head into his chest as Noah holds her tightly.
Liz:
MOM!?
Noah:
It's gonna be ok. Let's just hope she didn't feel any pain, alright.
Liz: (crying)
Just...
We see Warner, Dixon, Luke and Ian give Liz a sad, sympathetic look. But not Cameron, he just stares at her.
Cameron:
Your mom's not dead.
Everyone turns to look at Cameron. Liz backs away from Noah and stares at the company man.
Liz:
How exactly do you know?
Cameron: (to Warner)
She was right. The company does know about these creatures.
Warner walks past his son and Liz and walks over to Cameron.
Warner:
What do you know? Tell us!
Cameron:
She's being prepped.
Luke: (o.s.)
For what?
Cameron:
You really don't wanna know.
Suddenly, we see Ian appear. He grabs Cameron by his shirt collar and pushes him up against the wall.
Ian:
You tell us right now, you fucking piece of shit, what you know about those ugly mother fuckers that have us trapped inside this building or I swear to God I'm gonna kill you.
Cameron:
Never thought I'd be threatened by a gay teenage punk.
Noah walks over and pushes Cameron back up against the wall.
Noah:
You either tell us what you know, or we will throw your ass out the door and let you become a midnight snack for those things.
Cameron and Noah stare at each other for a moment. Noah lets go and backs away from Cameron and stands next to Ian.
Cameron:
Alright, I'll tell you. Those things want her alive. They reproduce, grow inside of a living human being. Once she is impregnated with an embryo, she'll die, no matter what happens.
Liz:
Why?
Cameron:
These things are born by erupting out of their host's chest. Death is instantaneous. They're like... parasites, but they behave like socialized insects, like bees, wasps, even ants.
Warner:
These things are not ants.
Cameron:
I'm not dumb, Richard. They act together, serving and looking after their young.
Ian:
So, where do we find these... babies or whatever?
Cameron:
Look for the Queen.
Everyone stares at Cameron in shock for a brief moment.
Liz:
A Queen?
Cameron:
Yes. Like ants and bees, these xenomorphs all come from a queen. She's the only one who lays the eggs for the whole colony.
Warner:
How does the corporation know about these things?
Cameron:
Back in the early 21st century, a research complex in the Nevada desert was overrun with the xenomorphs. It belonged to the Weyland Corporation. They were struggling with financial problems and turned to the Yutani Corporation for help. Mr. Charles Weyland lost his life when the xenomorphs infested the complex.
Noah:
What do you know about those... humanoid things out there?
Cameron:
Not much is known about those hunters, however we do know... that they hunt the xenomorphs for a purpose. What it is... we don't know for sure, but it is very important in their society. Those hunters were also at the research complex back on Earth 200 years ago, doing the exact same thing they are doing here. But their weaponry, technology... it is soo incredible. Far more advanced than anything we have, even today.
Dixon:
Did you fucking know that those things were gonna come here?
There is a moment of silence.
Cameron:
Why do you think Weyland-Yutani set up a colony on a barren desert world?
Ian:
You unimaginable bastard.
Noah:
What about our lives, you son of a bitch?
Cameron:
I didn't make the rules, I just follow them. But the truth is... when it comes to the xenomorphs and the hunters... everyone is expendable, even me.
Noah chuckles for a brief moment.
Noah:
If we survive this, I'm gonna make sure that you explain what these things are to the government.
Liz:
Are you guys "playing" with these things on Earth, in your laboratories?
Cameron:
Never. We can't afford to have the xenomorphs on Earth. If one, just one hive escaped and arrived on Earth, the human race would become extinct within 3 years. They grow, breed, swarm, conquer soo fast... we'd have no chance at stopping them.
Dixon shakes his head, turns around and kicks a chair several feet away from him.
Dixon:
FUCK!!
Noah:
So, I guess its safe to say that there is a hive of those things here, on this planet. Where the fuck is it?
Warner:
Right before the center was attacked earlier tonight, Emily told me that there were attacks occurring within the mining tunnels. I guess that's where these things are coming from.
Dixon:
So this fucking hive is inside the mining tunnels?
Cameron:
The xenomorphs establish hives in dark, moist places, most of the time underground. The Eclipse tunnels is the perfect place for a xenomorph hive.
There is another moment of silence.
Warner:
Alright. We grab all the weapons we can get, go into the hive, locate Gale and any other survivors and wait for the marines to eliminate those fuckers.
Noah:
Or we can find a way to do it ourselves.
Liz, Luke and Warner look at Noah.
Liz:
What do you have in mind?
Noah looks at Liz for a moment, then shrugs his shoulders.
Noah:
I don't know. But according to what Mr. Company Man here said, we find this Queen and kill her. That should help us at least.
Warner:
Alright. Liz, Noah and Ian. You three come with me. Luke, stay here, with Dixon and Cameron. Dixon... make sure Cameron doesn't try anything.
Dixon walks over to Cameron and smiles.
Dixon:
Don't worry. We're not going anywhere.
Warner walks toward the doorway, with Noah and Liz following him. Ian walks over to Luke, who is giving him a sad look. Ian reaches down and kisses Luke on the lips.
Ian:
I'll be right back.
Luke:
I love you.
Ian:
I love you too. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise.
Ian backs away from Luke and follows Warner, Noah and Liz out through the doorway.
Int. Control center – Weapons storage room – Night.
We see the dimly lit weapons storage room. We can see handguns and shotguns placed on the walls. We see boxes on the floor labeled Shells and Magazines.
After a moment, we see the door open and we see Noah, Liz, Warner and Ian walk into the storage room. We see Warner walk over to the wall and grab two handguns. He places each of them in a pocket on his pants.
Warner:
Alright. Noah, you grab a shotgun, load it up with shells, then go over and load up one of those bags with as many shells as you can.
Noah:
Yes Dad.
We see Noah walk over to the wall and grab one of the shotguns.
Warner:
Ian, you do the same thing that Noah is doing. Liz, grab a couple of handguns, load them up, then grab a bag and fill it with magazines.
Ian and Liz:
Yes sir.
We see Ian walk over next to Noah, grab a shotgun and look at it. We see Liz walk over to the back of the storage room, grab one of the large, black bags and walk back over to the wall with the handguns on it.
We now see a brief montage of images:
- Noah loading up a shotgun with several shells.
-Ian placing several handfuls of shells into a black bag.
-Liz placing several handguns into one of the black bags. We see them land inside the bag along with several magazines.
-We then see Liz grab a handgun, place a loaded magazine into it and she places the handgun into her pants pocket.
Ext. Colony Control Center – Night.
We see in front of us, the control center, but we also see Celtic's dead body lay on the ground. We focus on the Predator corpse for a moment.
Suddenly, we hear the Predator clicking sound. After a moment, we see a cloaked figure de-cloak next to the body and we see Chopper kneel down next to his teacher. The Y is engraved onto his mask.
Chopper looks at Celtic for a moment, then places his right hand onto his teacher's mask. He lowers is head and makes the clicking sound again. We watch him for a moment while he honors Celtic.
After a moment, he removes his hand, raises his head and looks at Celtic's belt. We see Chopper reach over, grab a shuriken and places it onto his own belt. We then see Chopper reach down and take the plasma pistol out of the holster and place it into his own.
We then see Chopper reach over and pick up the small case that fell off of Celtic's back. Chopper looks at it for a moment, then makes the clicking sound again as he attaches it onto his own back pack.
After a moment, Chopper turns and looks at the Control center.
Chopper POV: We see the Control center, a dark blue color. We focus on it for a brief moment.
Suddenly, we hear the hissing sound of the Aliens. Chopper turns and looks around the area for a moment. After another moment, we hear the roar of the Predalien. Chopper makes the clicking sound again as he presses a button on his wrist computer, making him disappear.
We watch as the cloaked form of Chopper jumps up onto the roof of a nearby building.
Int. Control Center – Communications room – Night.
We see Luke still sitting in the chair, staring blankly at one of the smashed computers. Dixon and Cameron are leaning up against the computer desks, staring at each other, waiting for the other to do something.
Dixon:
So... what would have happened if you did call the fucking corporation?
Cameron:
They would have sent scientists here to study the xenomorphs.
Dixon:
Did you come here because you knew they would arrive?
Cameron:
We are told that if we do see a xenomorph to contact the corporation headquarters. We are never told when they will arrive. We never know. I actually doubted that I'd see one, ever. The last time we dealt with these things was about 60 years ago. That turned out disastrous.
Dixon:
What are you gonna do, now that they're here?
Cameron:
That's on a need to know basis only.
Dixon:
We could possibly die within the next 18 hours. What the fuck does the Corporation want these creatures for?
Cameron:
These creatures can possibly be tamed, to a degree, and used in the military.
Dixon stares at Cameron in shock.
Dixon:
How the fuck would the military use these aliens?
Cameron:
Biological weaponry is what the United States military is doing research into. These creatures could be used for eliminating possible treats in hostile situations. Imagine having an army of these things at your fingertips. You would be unstoppable.
Dixon:
You admire these fuckers, don't you?
Cameron:
Not for what they do, but for what they are. What they can be used for.
At that moment, we see Warner, Liz, Noah and Ian walk back into the room, each with a weapon in their hands and a black bag thrown over their shoulders. Luke looks up and smiles at Ian. Ian looks over at Luke and smiles back.
Warner:
Ok, listen up, everyone. Some of us are gonna go into the tunnels and locate any survivors we can. The others have to stay here and secure the building.
Warner looks over at Dixon.
Warner: (cont'd)
Dixon, do you know how to fly that shuttle?
Dixon:
All I do is assist the Captain. That's all. I've never flown a shuttle in my life, nor have I even gone through training.
Warner:
Ok. Then you are coming with me. Liz, you stay here with Luke.
Liz:
No, I'm going into that hive and finding my mother.
Noah:
I'm coming with you, Liz.
Noah gives Liz a comforting smile.
Ian:
I'll stay here with Luke.
Luke smiles at Ian, then suddenly winces in pain. He reaches down and gently rubs his leg, the one that has the cast on it. Ian walks over to Luke and sits down next to him, placing the shotgun and the bag loaded with shells onto the desk next to him.
Warner:
Alright then. Liz, Noah, Dixon are coming with me. So are you, Cameron.
Cameron:
I have no problem with that.
Warner nods his head. He turns and looks over at his youngest son and his boyfriend.
Warner:
Are you sure you can hold this place down?
Ian:
We'll lock the door after you guys leave.
Warner nods his head as he turns and walks out of the room. Liz, Dixon and Cameron follow Warner. Noah looks over at Luke, who is looking back at him.
We see Noah turn to leave, with a shotgun in his hand.
Luke:
Noah...
We see Noah turn around and walk over to Luke. Luke struggles to stand up, but he does so. Both Warner brothers look at each other for a moment, then hug each other tightly.
Noah:
I
am soo sorry, Luke.
Luke:
It's ok. I forgive you.
Noah:
I love you. I always have.
Luke: (fighting back tears)
I know. I know. Just... please come back safely.
Noah:
I promise.
Noah lets go of his brother, then gently and lightly kisses him on the forehead. Noah turns and walks out of the communications room. Luke watches the doorway for a moment. Ian stands up as well and wraps his arms around Luke's waist.
Ext. Control Center – Night.
We again see the front of the colony control center and again, we see Celtic's dead body laying on the ground, a small pool of green blood surround his head.
After a moment, we see Warner walk through the front door, aiming the handgun out in front of him. As he walks out, we see Noah (with a shotgun), follow his father.
Noah looks over and sees the Predator corpse.
Noah:
Dad, we saw one of those things at home earlier.
Warner:
I know. That one chased us out of the Ranch House, then it must have gotten killed by one of those other alien creatures.
Noah:
Liz, Mr. Dixon, come on.
We see Liz, Dixon and Cameron walk out of the control center's front doors, Liz holding a handgun and Dixon with a shotgun. They walk towards Noah and Warner, who are approaching Celtic's body.
We see Noah kneel down next to the Predator's body.
Dixon:
Fucker smells like shit.
Noah:
This one looks... different, older than the one we saw back home.
Liz:
Is that...
Noah:
Yeah.
We see Cameron walk over to the Predator body. He kneels down next to it (Cameron isn't holding any weapon, they don't trust him (would you?)) and looks at it for a moment.
Cameron:
Amazing. It's repulsive, yet beautiful.
Noah:
You find this beautiful? Jesus...
Liz:
Come on, we don't have time to look at that thing. We need to go into the tunnels and find my mother.
Warner:
She's right. Now everyone, move!
Noah stands up and follows his father, who is walking toward the building with the words ECLIPSE MINES printed on the front. Liz and Dixon follow Warner as well, being as cautious as they can.
Cameron is still kneeling next to Celtic. He looks at the Predator for a moment before standing up and catching up to the group.
Int. Eclipse mines building – lobby – Night.
We see the ruined lobby of the building. Chairs are overturned, blood is splattered on the walls, desks, chairs, floor. We briefly hear the hissing of Aliens, coming from the tunnels.
We see Noah enter the lobby of the building, aiming the shotgun into the room as he slowly walks in. He is followed by Warner and Liz. They each hold their handguns up, looking around cautiously.
Noah:
I don't hear anything.
Warner:
They could be setting up an ambush.
Warner turns his head and motions for Dixon and Cameron to come in. Both guys do so. We watch Warner, Noah, Liz, Dixon and Cameron slowly walk through the dark, silent lobby for a few moments.
Its eerie; all we hear is their footsteps and the movement of the magazines/shells inside the black bags Warner and Noah are carrying on their backs.
Int. Mining tunnels/ Hive tunnels.
We see that the tunnels are covered (walls, floor, ceiling) with the Aliens hive material. Water drips down from the ceiling, creating a very eerie and dark look to the whole environment.
Again, we faintly hear the hissing of the Aliens. After a moment, from around a corner, we see Noah appear, with the shotgun still raised. He looks at the walls with a disgusted look on his face.
Noah:
What the fuck?
Warner: (o.s.)
We must be inside the hive.
After a moment, we see Warner and Liz appear from around the corner. We see them walking down the hive tunnel for a moment, looking at the walls with a sick look on their face.
Liz:
Shit... that smell.
Noah:
Yeah... we must be close to the Queen, I bet.
We see Warner, Noah and Liz continue to walk down the tunnel, with Dixon and Cameron following them.
Dixon: (in shock)
Jesus Christ.
Everyone turns and looks at where Dixon is aiming the shotgun. We see, attached to the wall, a man covered in hive material. We see that his chest has erupted and dried blood covers his shirt.
Liz:
Holy shit.
Warner:
Is that what you were talking about, Cameron?
Cameron:
Yes. A xenomorph grew inside him.
Noah turns and looks at Liz.
Noah: (to Liz)
We need to find your mother, fast.
Liz:
I know.
Everyone turns and we watch them walk through the dark, eerie tunnel for a moment, looking around cautiously, with their weapons raised up.
Int. Control Center – Communications room – Night.
We see Luke still sitting in the chair, looking down at the floor. A look of hopelessness is on his face. After a moment we see Ian walks over, stand behind the chair for a moment, then lower himself to eye level with his boyfriend.
Luke doesn't turn around, he looks like he has been crying for a bit, but now he's stopped. Ian rests his head on Luke's shoulder.
Ian:
You ok?
Luke:
I'm fine. (beat) I'm sorry.
Ian: (confused)
For what? You didn't do anything.
Luke:
You're birthday has been in the shitter all night long.
Ian chuckles for a moment, causing Luke to smile as well.
Ian:
You're cute.
Luke:
I still owe you a birthday present.
Ian:
You don't owe me shit. All I want is for you to be strong. I love you and I will die to protect you.
Luke:
I'm not completely helpless. I'll do the best I can, sweetie.
Ian smiles, stands up and walk over to the closed doorway. Luke watches Ian walk away for a brief moment.
Int. Eclipse mines building – lobby – Night.
We are once again back in the lobby of the mining building. We don't hear anything and the lobby is still almost perfectly dark. We focus on the eeriness for a moment.
Suddenly, we hear footsteps, but at first, we don't see anything. After a moment, we see a cloaked figure walk through the smashed front doors, walk several feet into the lobby, and look around.
The figure makes the Predator clicking sound before it de-cloaks (Chopper). Chopper looks around for a moment before he starts to walk cautiously toward an open doorway. The plasma caster on his back-pack is raised up and looks like it is ready to fire at any moment.
Chopper POV: we are looking at the doorway in thermal mode, which we can actually barely make out anything (everything we see is dark blue). After a moment, the vision mode changes to another one, where it appears to be some type of night vision. We can now see the lobby and the doorway.
We see Chopper continue to walk cautiously toward the doorway for a moment.
Int. Alien Hive – egg chamber.
We are now inside a semi-large room, again covered with the hive material. On the ground we see two dozen eggs, most of them opened and dried up. Up on the walls we see a dozen people cocooned, it appears that most of them have become the victims of the chestbursters.
After a moment, we see Noah, Warner and Liz walk slowly into the egg chamber with their guns raised, through one of several entrances. Liz and Noah look at the eggs in shock.
Liz:
Noah...
Noah:
I know. Stay behind me, ok?
Liz turns and looks up at the walls. We see Warner follow Liz, with the handgun pointed at the eggs. They move slowly through the group of eggs, looking at them cautiously. We finally see Dixon and Cameron enter the egg chamber and they catch up to Warner.
Cameron:
I'm surprised that we haven't encountered any xenomorphs yet.
Dixon:
For God's sake, please don't jinx us.
We watch them walk through the room, looking down at the eggs. After a moment, they reach the other side of the room. We see Liz look up on the wall and look at the people cocooned. A look of sadness grows on her face.
Suddenly (we don't know why at the moment), we see her eyes widen and her mouth open, in shock.
Liz:
MOM!!
Noah, Warner, Dixon and Cameron turn, look on the wall and we see Gale cocooned up on the wall. Her head is lowered; she appears to be unconscious at the moment. We (the audience) can see an open egg in front of her, but they don't see it.
Liz rushes over to her mom and tries to tear the hive material off of her. After a moment, Gale raises her head and looks down at her daughter.
Gale: (weakly)
... Liz?
Liz:
Mom. Mom, we're here. We're gonna get you out of the hive.
Gale:
Sweetie... I want you to go.
Liz:
No. Mom, we're getting you out of here.
Gale:
Sweetheart... please listen to me.
Liz:
Mom... what?
Gale:
Just go. I'm sorry... please...
Suddenly, Gale looks up and screams in pain. Liz looks at her mother in shock, a look of helplessness on her face. Noah grabs Liz by the arm and pulls her away.
Noah:
Liz!
Liz:
Wait! MOM!
Gale: (screaming)
Liz! GO!
Everyone looks up at Gale as her chest bulges. We can hear the sound of bones breaking from within Gale's body. We can see tears pouring out of Liz's eyes as Noah uses all of his strength to hold her away.
Gale's chest bulges again. Warner raises his handgun and aims it at Gale's chest.
Warner:
I am soo sorry, Mrs. Bennet.
Warner fires the handgun once. Gale's body stops twitching and she hangs there, in the cocoon, lifeless. Warner holds the handgun up for a moment, a thin stream of smoke coming out of its barrel.
We see Noah holding Liz tightly as she buries her head into his shoulder, crying. Cameron and Dixon stare at Gale's dead body, unable to think of anything to say. Warner turns and gives Liz and Noah a sympathetic look.
Warner:
Liz... we need to get back to the Control Center. Please?
Liz doesn't respond. After a moment, we hear hissing. We can hear Liz begin to cry harder. We see Warner and Dixon raise their weapons and aim them at the entrances to the chamber. Liz pulls away from Noah and wipes her tears away as Noah raises the shotgun. The hissing continues.
Warner:
Be careful, people. We need to slowly back out of this chamber.
We watch them slowly back up towards the entrance that they came into the hive. We see the Liz is still staring at her mother's dead body, hanging on the wall. We hear another round of hissing sounds coming from all over the place.
We see that Cameron is only a couple of feet away from the entrance to the chamber. Suddenly, we see something move behind him. First we see four pipes rise up from the ground, then we see that they are attached to a body.
The Alien turns its head and its lips quiver with rage. Cameron turns around... just in time for the Alien to shoot out its inner mouth at Cameron's head. We cut to Dixon, who turns around and blood splatters onto his face.
Warner, Noah and Liz turn around and see the Alien. Dixon raises the shotgun at the Alien.
Warner:
Holy shit!
Noah:
Jesus fucking Christ.
Dixon: (at the Alien)
Suck on this, asshole.
The Alien's mouth opens and we see Dixon jam the barrel of the shotgun into the Alien's mouth. He pulls the trigger and fires, sending acid blood erupting out of the back of the Alien's head.
The Alien collapses onto the ground. We see Noah, Liz and Warner lower their weapons slightly as they look at Dixon. Dixon turns and looks at them.
Dixon:
Everyone ok?
The three others nod their heads. Dixon turns to look at the alien... but suddenly we see a facehugger leap onto Dixon's face. It's legs grip onto his head and the tail curls around his neck tightly. Warner rushes over, kneels down and tries to pull the facehugger off.
Suddenly, we hear more hissing, but these sounds are much louder. Warner stands up and raises his handgun.
Warner:
Alright, move it! They're here!
As if on cue, we begin to see several Aliens appear on the walls, as if they had been there the whole time and blended in perfectly with the hive material covering them.
We watch as Warner, Liz and Noah run out of the chamber via another entrance. The Aliens crawl and slither on the walls, hissing at each other. We focus on the serpents for a brief moment.
Int. Alien Hive – hive tunnels.
We watch as Warner, Liz and Noah run down a tunnel inside the Alien hive. Noah holds Liz's hand in his own as they run. We watch them for a moment.
Int. Alien Hive – Queen's chamber.
We watch as Noah, Warner and Liz run down the tunnel and into a newer, larger chamber. After they make it several feet into the chamber, they stop and look around in shock.
We see more than two dozen eggs in this chamber. There has to be at least fifty or more eggs, coated with slime, on the floor of this new chamber. Noah stands in front of Liz. He aims the shotgun at the eggs near them.
Noah: (to Liz/ softly)
Stay behind me Liz, ok?
Liz: (in shock)
Ok.
Suddenly, we hear the sound of breathing, but it sounds like it is coming from something very large. We see Noah turn and look at his father, who appears to be watching something towards the center of the chamber. Noah and Liz follow Warner's gaze and we see...
... a large tube (an ovi-depositor), hanging low to the ground. It appears to be laying a new, slime and after-birth covered egg onto the ground of the chamber. As we pan to the left we see that this ovi-depositor is attached to a massive, white-colored, pulsating sac of some-kind. We can see the outlines of other eggs inside this sac, slowly moving towards the ovi-depositor.
We continue to pan, seeing more of more of this large egg sac. We see that this large egg sac is being suspended up off the ground by some type of sticky webbing that is wrapped around the egg sac and attached to the ceiling.
As we finish our pan, we see something large, monstrous almost sitting on top of the egg sac. The Alien Queen. Her large, impressive crown is looking down, almost as if she is asleep. (but not for long)
Warner, Noah and Liz back up a couple of feet. Warner raises his handgun up and aims it at the large, 16 foot tall Alien Queen. Noah aims the shotgun at the Queen as well.
After a brief moment, the large crown of the Alien Queen slowly looks up and at the three humans standing amongst the eggs. We see the actual mouth of the Queen slowly come out from underneath the crown. Her teeth are covered in drool.
Warner, Liz and Noah continue to stare up at the Alien Queen. After a moment, the Queen hisses at Noah, Warner and Liz. All three of them take a step back. Noah looks over at Liz and sees that she is terrified.
Noah:
Dad...
Warner:
I know. Just...
Suddenly, we see an Alien Warrior leap from the ceiling and onto the Queen's egg sac. It hisses at the humans as well. Warner aims the handgun at the Warrior. After a moment Warner turns and looks back at the Queen.
Warner: (to Noah and Liz)
Everyone, slowly move back towards the entrance.
Warner, Liz and Noah slowly take another step back towards the entrance. The Queen and the Warrior watch them carefully, drool dripping off of the jaws. Noah continues to aim the shotgun at the Queen.
Suddenly, we see several flashes of light from the tunnel outside, followed by the screeching of Alien Warriors. Warner, Liz and Noah turn and look at the entrance to the Queen's chamber. We hear the clicking sound of a Predator for a moment.
Suddenly, from outside the entrance, we see a bolt of plasma fly into the chamber and smack into the Alien Warrior. It's mutilated body falls off the egg sac. The alien Queen screeches loudly into the air, both in pain and anger.
Two more bolts of plasma fly into the chamber and slam into the egg sac, causing slime, flesh and pieces of eggs to pour onto the ground. The queen screeches in pain again. Suddenly, we see Chopper appear in the entrance. He looks up at the Queen and roars at her.
After a moment, the Queen looks down at him and hisses. Chopper makes the clicking sound again as he turns and looks at Warner, Liz and Noah, who are all too shocked too move. Chopper turns back at looks at the Queen, deciding that she is more dangerous target at the moment.
Liz, Warner and Noah turn and run out of the chamber. Chopper reaches over his shoulder and pulls out the small case that he picked up from Celtic's body. He presses several buttons on it and we see a Predator countdown clock appear on the little screen on top of the case.
Chopper roars at the Queen as he tosses the case into the center of the chamber, right underneath the egg sac. Chopper turns and runs out of the chamber as well.
Int. Alien Hive – hive tunnels.
We see Warner, Liz and Noah running down what seems to be an endless series of tunnels inside the alien hive. We watch them run for a moment.
Suddenly, we see an Alien warrior leap out from the wall and slam into Warner. Liz and Noah turn around and stare at the Alien for a brief moment. Noah raises the shotgun and aims it at the warrior.
Warner is grabbing the Alien's head, trying to keep it as far away from his face as possible. It's tail flails all over the place. The alien screeches as it shoots out its inner tongue at Warner. He turns and looks at Noah and Liz.
Noah:
Dad!
Warner punches the Alien in the head. Suddenly, Noah and Liz look up and we see three more Alien warriors crawling on the walls, hissing at the human characters. Warner looks at the other aliens, then at the one pinning him to the ground. It continues to shoot out its inner mouth at Warner.
Warner:
Noah, get Liz out of here. Go!
Noah:
Dad!
Warner:
Go! I'll hold these things off as long as possible.
Noah:
Dad, I'm not leaving you!
Warner:
Noah, just go! Get back to the colony center!
Noah stares at his dad, on the verge of tears. Liz tries to pull Noah away, by grabbing his arm.
Noah: (fighting back tears)
Dad...
Warner:
GOOOOOOOOO!!
Noah and Liz turn and run down the hive tunnel. Warner watches them for a moment, then turns back and faces the hissing Alien on top of him.
Warner:
Fuck you, asshole.
We see the Alien's lips quiver in rage. Suddenly, the Alien shoots out its inner tongue at Warner's head. We see it puncture his head; blood and brain tissue erupts out of the back of his head.
Smash cut to...
Int. Alien Hive – random hive chamber.
We are inside another darkened hive room. After a moment we see Chopper run into the room and stop. He looks around for a bit, making the clicking sound in his throat as he observes the chamber.
Suddenly, we see some large, dark figure rise up from the ground behind Chopper. He continues to look around the chamber, almost checking to see if there is anything important in the room.
Suddenly, we see Chopper turn around and face the dark figure... The Predalien. The Predalien roars at Chopper and smacks the teenage predator down to the ground with its claw.
Chopper lays on the ground, looking up at the Predalien. After a brief moment it reaches for the plasma pistol attached to its belt. Chopper grabs the pistol and raises it up and aims it at the Predalien. Chopper roars as he fires the gun, but the Predalien ducks its head just in time.
The hybrid creature hisses at Chopper, who is now standing in front of it. Chopper reaches down, grabs a shuriken off of his belt and slices the Predalien's stomach. The monster roars in pain as Chopper jams the shuriken into the hybrid's wound.
Chopper turns and runs out of the chamber, leaving the Predalien hissing and screeching in pain.
Int. Eclipse mines building – lobby – Night.
We see Noah and Liz run out of the double doors they entered and run through the lobby. We can hear both of them panting as they run for the front doors. Behind them, coming from inside the hive, we can hear the faint hissing of the Alien warriors and the roaring of the Alien Queen.
Int. Alien Hive – Queen's Chamber.
We are back inside the Queen's chamber. We see her mutilated egg sac laying on the ground, surrounded by the eggs... but there is no sign of the queen herself (oh shit). Beside the egg sac we see the Predator case. We see that it is only flashing three more digits, then two... then one... then no more red digits.
We see the case glow blue. Electrical sparks zap out of the case and strike the walls. Suddenly, we see the case explode, sending a wave of blue covered energy rushing through the room and out of the chamber, causing everything to explode.
Int. Alien hive – hive tunnels.
We see the wave of energy sweep through the tunnels. We see Alien warriors on the walls and ceilings, trying to outrun the explosion, but they don't succeed. We see the Aliens ignite into flames as the wave of energy and fire touches them.
Ext. Eclipse mines building – Night.
We see Noah and Liz run out of the building. After they are about 100 feet away from the building they stop, look at each other, then back at the building.
We see the eclipse mines building glow for a brief moment, then suddenly we see fire erupt out of the windows and doors. The shockwave causes Liz and Noah to fall to the ground.
We see, after a brief moment, the entire building explode and erupt into flames and smoke. Pieces of the building fly everywhere. We see the front half of the mountain start to collapse onto the rubble of the building.
We see Noah and Liz watch the landslide bury the ruins of the eclipse building for a moment. After a semi-long moment, after the smoke and dust settles, Noah stands up and reaches out to help Liz stand up.
Noah:
Are you ok?
Liz stands up and wipes dirt off of her body.
Liz:
I'm fine. You?
Noah stares at the ruins, we can see him trying to fight back tears, but we see one roll down his cheek. Liz walks over to him and rests her head up against his shoulder.
Noah: (quietly)
Dad...
Liz:
I'm soo sorry Noah.
They both stare at the ruins for a moment. Suddenly, we hear the predator clicking sound. Noah and Liz's eyes widen as they turn and start looking around. Noah raises the shotgun up and continues to stare into the darkness around them.
Noah:
Come on! Where the fuck are you?!
Liz:
Noah, shhhh.
Noah:
It already knows we're here, Liz. I'm not going down without a fight.
Liz reaches into her pants pocket and pulls out the handgun. She raises it up as well. We hear the clicking sound again. They turn around again, aiming their guns into the dust and darkness.
Suddenly, we see a cloaked figure appear behind Noah and Liz. Noah and Liz sense its presence, turn around and aim their guns at the figure.
The figure de-cloaks, revealing Chopper. We see Chopper reach around to his back, grab a spear and shake it, making the spear extend to its full length. Noah raises the shotgun higher, his finger ready to pull the trigger.
Noah: (to Predator)
Your move, asshole.
Chopper cocks his head while he stares at Noah. It makes the clicking sound again.
Liz:
Noah... it has better weapons than you.
Noah:
It brought those fuckers here. The same fuckers that killed my friends, my father.
Liz:
Don't do anything stupid, please.
Chopper looks at Liz, then at Noah.
Chopper: (playback system)
Your move, asshole.
Liz stares at Chopper for a moment, then she looks down at the handgun. After a moment, we see Liz toss the handgun onto the ground, several feet away from her.
Chopper looks at the handgun, laying on the ground, then up at Liz. It makes the clicking sound again. Noah turns and looks at Liz, confused.
Noah:
Liz, what the hell are you doing?
Liz:
Showing it that we won't harm it.
Noah:
Liz...
Liz:
Without that creature's help back in the hive, we won't be standing here right now. We may have been buried underneath all that rock, or even worse.
Noah stares at Liz for a moment, then at the Predator. After a moment, Noah starts to slowly lower the shotgun. Chopper makes the clicking sound again. Liz looks over at Noah, who sets the shotgun down on the ground, next to his feet. He raises his hands up into the air, to show Chopper that he is unarmed.
Chopper looks at Liz and Noah, then shakes the spear again, making the spear shrink to its smaller length. Chopper attaches the spear back onto his backpack, although while he does this he is still watching Liz and Noah.
Liz takes a single step towards Chopper. The young Predator growls softly at Liz upon seeing Liz. Liz raises her hands up as well.
Liz:
It's ok. We are not gonna hurt you.
Chopper stares at them, making the clicking sound again. Noah looks over at Liz.
Noah:
What exactly to you say to a hostile alien hunter?
Liz:
I don't fucking know.
We see Chopper reach up and start to remove several small wires that are attached to his mask. We watch him as he places both of his hands on his mask and remove the mask.
For the first time, we see Chopper's face. He carefully is eyeing Liz and Noah. He flexes his four mandibles, letting them stretch after being confined in the mask. We can see the Y burned into his forehead from Alien blood.
Liz and Noah stare at Chopper, shocked by what a Predator looks like without its mask on. After a moment, Chopper roars at Liz and Noah. We see their eyes widen as they take a single step backwards.
Chopper makes the clicking sound in his throat as he takes several steps towards Noah and Liz. They both keep their hands raised up, to prove to the Predator that they won't harm it.
After a moment, Chopper closes his eyes and slowly nods his head. Noah and Liz look at the Predator, then at each other. We see Chopper opens his eyes, then look up at Noah and Liz. Suddenly, we see his eyes widen.
Behind Noah and Liz, we can see something rising out of the rubble and dirt from what used to be the mining building. As the dirt falls off of the object, we see that it is the crown of the Alien Queen rising out of the ground.
Chopper roars at the Queen, causing Noah and Liz to turn around and stare at the alien queen, who is now standing at her full height of 18 feet. She shakes the rest of the dirt off of her body before hissing.
Liz:
Holy shit!
Noah reaches down, grabs the shotgun and aims it at the Queen. Liz stares in shock at the Queen. The massive Alien mother takes several large steps towards Noah, Liz and Chopper. The young Predator reaches for the plasma pistol on his belt and aims it at the Queen as well.
The large Queen roars at the group of warriors. Noah lowers the shotgun and grabs Liz's arm.
Noah:
Come on! We have to go!
With that Noah and Liz turn and run back towards the colony control center. Chopper continues to stare at the queen, with the plasma pistol raised at her.
We see the Alien Queen watch Noah and Liz, then look back down at Chopper. She roars at him as well before she starts running, smacking Chopper several yards off to the side with one swift motion of her giant left claw.
We see Chopper land on the ground, semi dazed by the smack of the Queen. He watches her running, almost in a full sprint towards Noah and Liz. We see that she covers seven feet with one motion of her legs.
Int. Colony control center – comm. Room – Night.
We see Ian and Luke sitting at a computer desk, looking down at the ground. We can tell that they might not have talked much while they waited for Noah and Liz. We can see that, upon closer inspection, that Ian is examining the handgun in his hand.
After a moment we hear the faint screams of Liz, shouting of Noah and the hissing of the Queen. Ian and Luke look up, confused. They look at each other, then we see Ian stand up and start walking towards Warner's office.
Luke:
Ian...
Ian:
I'm just gonna see what's going on. I hope they survived that blast we felt.
Luke:
But that was their voices we heard.
Ian walks towards Warner's office and steps in through the doorframe, we see pieces of glass shattered all over the ground.
Int. Colony control center – Warner's office – Night.
Ian slowly walks over to the broken window. We still hear Liz and Noah's shouts, followed by the screeching of the Alien Queen. Ian makes it to the window and looks out. We see him look down at the ground and after a moment we see Noah and Liz run by, in the direction of the ranch house.
Ian watches them run for a moment, confused.
Ian:
Where they fuck are they going?
Suddenly, we see the Queen run past the window, screeching in anger. Ian's mouth drops in shock. He stumbles backwards, almost falling over.
Luke: (o.s.)
What's going on?
Ian turns and rushes out of the office.
Ian:
Really terrible shit.
We see Ian disappear out of the room.
Int. Ranch house – main serving room – Night.
We see the darkened ranch house for a brief moment. Suddenly, through the open front doors, we see Noah and Liz run into the ranch house, looking over their shoulders as they run towards the kitchen doors.
Ext. Ranch house – back of restaurant – Night.
We see the back door slam open and Noah and Liz run out of the building. They run about fifteen feet away from the door, then stop, look at the back door and try to catch their breathes.
Noah looks over at Liz after a moment.
Noah:
You alright?
Liz:
How did she survive?
Noah:
I don't fucking know, but we have to stop her before she escapes this planet.
Suddenly, we hear a low hissing sound. Noah and Liz slowly look up and standing on top of the ranch house, on the roof, we see the Alien Queen looking down at the humans. Drool drips out of her jaws.
The Queen hisses again. Noah raises the shotgun and aims it at the Queen. We see her jump down from the roof and slowly start walking towards Noah and Liz, almost as if she is openly stalking them.
We see the Queen look over at Liz and she screeches at the teenage girl. We can hear Noah cock the shotgun, still raised up and aimed at the Queen.
Noah:
Hey!
The Queen looks over at Noah.
Noah: (cont'd)
Get away from us, you BITCH!!
The queen roars at Noah and Liz. Suddenly, we hear the roaring of a Predator. Noah and Liz turn and look up at the roof of the Ranch House. We see Chopper standing on the roof, with a full sized spear in his hand.
Noah looks back up at the Queen, who takes another step towards Noah and Liz. Behind her we see Chopper run along the side of the roof, leap onto the back of the Queen and jam the spear down onto her back. The Queen thrashes her head and body around in pain, knocking Chopper onto the ground.
Noah and Liz takes several steps backwards, staring at the Queen as she tries to reach her back and pull out the spear. We see Chopper stand up and roar at the Queen. The queen turns, looks at Chopper and screeches at him. She turns her entire body to face him.
We see Noah and Liz turn and run back towards the back door to the Ranch House, barely missing her thrashing tail. after a moment we them disappear back into the restaurant. We see the Queen slowly walking towards Chopper, hissing at the young Predator. We can see Chopper slowly reaching for the plasma pistol located on his belt.
Int. Ranch house – kitchen – Night.
We see Liz rush over to the sink and start looking around. Noah watches her for a moment.
Noah:
What are you doing?
Liz:
Are there any bottles? Anything like that?
Noah:
Yeah, why?
Liz:
Just give them to me.
Noah rushes over to a cupboard and opens it up. After a moment of looking he pulls out three bottles that slightly resemble 1950's coke bottles. He places them on the sink next to Liz.
She looks around for a moment, then we see her walk over to the other side of the room, pick up a semi-large thin plastic box and walk back over to the sink. Liz looks over at a confused Noah.
Noah:
What are you doing?
Liz:
Is this gasoline?
Noah:
Yes.
Liz:
Good. Can you pick up some cloth napkins and give them to me?
Noah:
Liz, what the fuck are you doing?
Liz:
Do you know what a Molotov cocktail is?
Noah:
Yeah... kinda.
Liz:
We need to help that hunter out there. This is the best way we can.
Noah nods his head, turns around and looks through several drawers to find some napkins. Outside, we hear the roars of Chopper and the Alien Queen.
Ext. Ranch house – back of restaurant – Night.
We see the Predator and the Alien Queen face off against each other. The Queen hisses at Chopper. Chopper's mandibles flex as he thinks up a new strategy against the Queen.
We see Chopper reach down, grab a shuriken off of his belt and the blades extend. The Queen screeches at Chopper as he tosses the shuriken at the Queen. The shuriken slashes across the Queen's chest, causing her to screech in anger. Acid blood pours out of the wound and strikes the ground.
The Queen charges Chopper, who crouches down, then jumps up high into the air and lands on the Queen's back. She screeches for a moment as Chopper pulls the spear out of her back. The Queen stands up straight, causing Chopper to fall off of the Queen's back. He lands hard on the ground, with the spear in his hands.
The queen turns around and looks down at Chopper, who is starting to get up. The queen hisses at him.
Int. Ranch house – kitchen – Night.
We see, on the sink counter, the three bottles with the gasoline poured in them. Two of the bottles have cloth napkins sticking out of the top. We see Liz stuff a napkin into the opening of the third bottle.
Noah is standing by the back door, with the shotgun in his hands. He looks over at Liz.
Noah:
You ready?
Liz:
Almost. One more second.
Liz places one of the bottles gently into her pants pocket. She grabs another bottle and places it into the other pants pocket. She picks up the third bottle and walks towards the door. Liz looks over at Noah. Outside we hear the roaring of the Queen and Chopper.
Liz slowly nods her head. Noah reaches out for the doorknob and grabs it. He looks over at Liz for a moment, then turns the knob and kicks open the door. We see Liz and Noah rush outside.
Ext. Ranch house – back of restaurant – Night.
We see Liz and Noah rush out of the kitchen, Noah aiming the shotgun up at the Alien Queen. Liz holds the bottle of gasoline in her right hand and in her left we see her flip a little switch on a silver lighter, causing a small flame to appear on the top of the lighter.
Liz looks over at Noah.
Liz:
You ready?
Noah:
Yes. Go!
We see Chopper, who is aiming the spear at the Queen, turn and look over at Liz and Noah. We can hear him make the clicking sound again.
We see Liz set the cloth napkin on fire (the one sticking out of the bottle) and she throws the Molotov cocktail at the Queen's back. We see the bottle slam into the side of the queen and a small part of her back catches on fire.
The Queen screeches in pain, then turns and looks at Liz and Noah. She screeches at the humans. She starts walking towards them, her long tail swaying back and forth violently. Chopper watches her approach Liz and Noah, causing him to roar at the Queen.
Liz pulls another bottle out of her pocket, sets the napkin on fire and throws it at the Queen, striking her in the face. Flames spread all over the Queen's lower jaw. She stops walking and scratches at the flames with her larger pair of claws, screeching as she does so.
Noah walks several feet in front of Liz, raises the shotgun and fires it at the Queen. We see several small wounds on her chest erupt with acid blood. The queen staggers back, still trying to distinguish the flames on her lower jaw.
Liz reaches down and pulls out the third bottle, but it accidentally slips out of her hand, falls to the ground and shatters. Liz looks down at the smashed bottle in shock.
Liz:
Shit!
Noah looks over at Liz, then back at the Queen. He fires the shotgun again, causing small wounds on her side to pour out acid blood. The queen continues to screech.
Suddenly, we see Chopper appear behind the queen. He raises the spear up high and throws it at the Queen, but her staggering around causing her to miss the spear and the predator weapon strikes the ground several feet away from Noah. He looks at the predator spear sticking out of the ground.
Chopper roars as he turns, runs towards the Ranch House and, impressively, jumps onto the roof of the building. He turns and watches the queen. The flames on her lower jaw have vanished and she is looking down at Noah. The Queen roars again.
We focus on Noah now...
Noah still has the shotgun raised up and aimed at the Queen. We can hear the Queen's tired breathing.
Noah:
Go to hell, you bitch!
The queen raises herself to her full height and roars in anger at Noah and Liz, who is now aiming her handgun up at the Queen.
Suddenly, from the roof of the Ranch House, we see a ball of blue plasma strike the Queen at the top of her crown. A large part of her carapace falls off and hits the ground. The Queen roars again, louder than we have ever heard her before.
The Queen turns and looks up at Chopper, who is aiming the plasma pistol at her. The Queen hisses as Chopper fires another ball of plasma at the Queen, striking the tip of her tail. The stinger on her tail falls off. The Queen turns, looks at her tail, then back at chopper and screeches again.
Chopper looks down at the Queen, then fires the plasma pistol again. The queen lowers her head and barely misses the plasma fire. She looks up at Chopper and roars. We see Noah lower the shotgun, run over and pull the spear out of the ground. Liz watches him.
Liz:
What the hell are you doing?
Noah:
Helping our ally, whatever way we can.
We see Liz smile slightly, but then she turns and looks at the Queen. The Queen's tail continues to sway violently from left to right. The Queen hisses in a challenging way to Chopper, who roars right back at her.
Chopper looks down at his plasma pistol, then at Noah, who is holding the spear. Suddenly, we see the Queen raise her large hand and swipe at Chopper. Chopper ducks the attack by leaping down from the roof and landing on the ground. The Queen looks down at Chopper and roars at the young Predator.
Chopper raises the plasma pistol up and fires it at the Alien Queen. The ball of plasma strikes the Queen in her side, causing a piece of her flesh and acid blood to fall to the ground. The Queen screeches and falls onto the ground, laying on her side. Her tail sways all over the place in anger.
Chopper walks slowly towards the weakened Queen. He looks down at the pistol for a moment, then drops it down onto the ground, growling as he does so.
Noah looks down at the spear in his hands, then up at the Predator standing several yards away.
Noah:
Hey!
Chopper turns and looks at Noah. Noah tosses the spear over at Chopper, who grabs it in his right hand. Chopper makes the clicking sound for a moment, then he looks over at Noah and Liz and roars at them. After a moment he turns and starts walking towards the Queen.
The Queen, who is still laying on her side, looks over at Chopper and screeches at him. Chopper roars as he walks up to her jaws. The Queens shoots out her large inner mouth at Chopper, even though he is a good two feet away.
Chopper raises the spear into the air, then brings it down violently onto the Queen's head, right where her jaws connect with the large crown-like carapace. The Queen's arms and tail fall like a rock to the ground.
Noah and Liz look at the dead Queen for a brief moment, then Liz turns and buries her head into Noah's shoulder. He holds her gently, a slight small on his face.
Noah:
You ok?
Liz looks up at Noah.
Liz:
I think I'm about to wet my pants.
Noah and Liz chuckle. They turn and look at Chopper, who is kneeling down next to the Queen and examining her. Noah and Liz share looks at each other, then they start walking towards chopper and the Queen's body.
Chopper senses Noah and Liz approaching and he turns and looks at them. Noah and Liz stop walking and look at Chopper as well. He makes the clicking sound as he looks up and down Noah and Liz.
Noah:
Do you wanna make the move or should I?
Liz: (thinks for a moment)
You go.
Noah:
You sure?
Liz:
Fuck yeah.
Noah looks at Liz, then he starts walking towards Chopper. As Noah approaches, Chopper stands up. This causes Noah to stop walking. Liz takes a few steps towards Noah as well.
Chopper flexes his mandibles at Noah and Liz. As Noah takes a step towards the Predator, Chopper roars at Noah. This causes both humans to take a few steps backwards.
Suddenly, we hear a beeping sound. Chopper looks down at his wrist computer and we see several small red lights blinking on the computer. Chopper growls at the flashing red lights, then he turns and looks over to his left, where we see dark, open desert.
After a moment of watching Chopper, Liz and Noah turn and look into the vast open desert as well.
Suddenly, we see some type of craft de-cloak, almost as if it has been there the whole time. It looks like some type of scout ship, parked on the desert floor no more than 50 feet away from Chopper, Liz and Noah.
Liz:
Oh my God. Look.
Standing in front of the scout craft is what looks like some sort of Elder Predator. He has longer than usual dreadlocks, wrinkles all over his large face and old, acid burnt mandibles. He appears to be wearing armor that looks like it should belong on a royal warrior.
The elder Predator makes the clicking sound as he looks at Chopper. He then turns and looks at Noah and Liz, roaring at them. After a moment Chopper walks several feet towards the Elder Predator and growls at him. The Elder Predator looks at Chopper for a brief moment, then he turns and looks at Noah and Liz.
Noah stands in front of Liz.
Noah:
Stay behind me.
Liz:
Noah, if that thing wanted to harm us, it could have done so already.
Noah:
Then what does it want with us?
We see the Elder Predator start walking towards Noah and Liz, followed by Chopper. When the Elder Predator is standing no more than a foot away from Noah and Liz, it looks them up and down, from head to toe. He turns, makes the clicking sound at Chopper, then faces the humans again.
We see Noah stand up straight and looks the Elder Predator in the eye.
Noah:
What do you want with us?
The Elder Predator makes the clicking sound at them for a brief moment.
Elder Predator: (through playback system)
Helping our ally, whatever way we can.
We see Liz smile at the Elder Predator. The Elder Predator reaches out and places one of his big hands on Noah's shoulder. Noah is a little startled by this, but let's the Predator keep his hand there. The Elder Predator looks at Noah, in the eyes.
Noah: (to Liz)
What should I do?
Liz:
I don't know... do the same thing.
Noah raises his hand, reaches over and places one of his hands on the Elder's shoulder as well. We see the Elder Predator and Chopper lower their heads and make the subtle clicking sound.
Noah lowers his head as well. We watch for a brief moment this amazing event, two Predators giving a human the sign of respect. After a moment both Predators raise their heads.
The Elder Predator turns and growls at Chopper. The young teenage Predator flexes his mandibles, turns and starts walking back towards the scout ship. The Elder Predator turns and walks towards the ship as well.
Noah and Liz take a few steps forward as well. Chopper reaches the bottom of the ramp that leads up into the ship and stops, letting the Elder walk past him. After a moment Chopper turns and looks at Noah and Liz.
He looks down at the spear in his hands, then lightly tosses it onto the ground in front of Noah's feet. He nods his head, turns and walks up the ramp. Noah reaches down and picks up the spear.
Noah:
It's a gift.
Liz:
For helping him.
The ramp retracts back into scout ship as it lifts up off the ground. Suddenly, overhead Noah, Liz and probably the whole colony, we see the huge Predator ship de-cloak.
The main ship and the scout ship hover above the colony for a moment before turning and traveling up into the atmosphere, away from LV-026. We focus on Noah and Liz for a moment as they watch the ships disappear in the night sky.
Ext. Colony control center – landing pad – Night.
We see the landing pad, with the shuttle still sitting on the circular landing pad. After a moment we see the sliding door that is near the landing pad, attached to the cement wall that encloses the area, open and we see Noah and Liz walk in, exhausted.
We watch them for a moment as they walk towards the open ramp that leads up into the shuttle. Noah looks over at Liz.
Noah:
Are you ok?
Liz:
I'm fine.
Suddenly, we see the double sliding doors that lead into the control center open and we see Ian and Luke, who has his arm wrapped around his boyfriend's neck, walk out of the control center.
Noah and Liz look over at them and smile.
Luke:
Noah?
Ian lets go of Luke as Noah rushes over to his brother and the Warner brothers embrace in a warm hug.
Luke:
Oh God, I thought that you wouldn't make it.
Noah:
It's ok. From this moment on, I promise to repay you for all the shit I've done to you.
Luke:
It's alright.
Ian turns and walks over to Liz.
Ian:
Hey.
Liz chuckles.
Liz:
Hi.
Ian looks over at Noah and Luke. Luke steps away from his brother and looks around, worried for a brief moment.
Luke:
Where's Dad?
We see a sad/ angry look appear on Noah's face.
Noah:
I'm soo sorry.
We see a few tears roll down Luke's eyes. Ian walks over to him and holds him comfortingly in his arms. Liz looks at Noah, Ian and Luke.
Liz:
Does anyone know how to fly this thing?
Noah, Luke and Ian look at her and shake their heads.
Ian:
I think we should stick to Mr. Warner's plan; stay in here until the marines arrive.
Luke:
But... that's at least twelve hours away.
Noah:
I think its our best chance.
Luke and Ian nod their heads, turn and start walking slowly back into the control center. Noah and Liz look at each other for a moment before Liz walks towards the door as well. We see Noah watch them for a moment.
Suddenly, we hear a low growling sound. Luke, Ian and Liz turn and look at Noah, who is standing still with a disgusted look on his face.
Liz:
Noah.
Noah looks up at Liz... just as his chest starts to bulge. After a brief moment we see, not a chestburster, but the tip of an Alien tail come out of his chest. But this tail is not like the other aliens. We see Noah starting to spit up blood because of the attack.
We see, slowly rising up from behind Noah, the PREDALIEN!! Noah slowly turns and looks at the Predalien. The hybrid stretches it's mandibles wide as it roars at it's victim. The tail slides out of Noah's back and he collapses onto the ground, the collapsed Predator spear laying next to him.
We finally see the shock and terror that is on Liz, Luke and Ian's face.
Luke:
Noah!!
The Predalien turns its large head and roars at the humans. Liz looks up at the Predalien, then down at Noah laying on the ground. Luke takes a few steps back (he's learned how to move on his own in the cast) as Ian looks over at Liz.
Ian:
What the fuck do we do?
Liz:
Fight it.
Suddenly we see Liz run towards Noah. Ian watches her.
Ian:
Liz!!
The Predalien roars at her. As Liz reaches Noah's body the Predalien swings one of its large claws at her, but Liz ducks just in time. She picks up the spear, rolls on the ground and stands up behind the Predalien.
The hybrid swings its tail, striking her in the stomach. Liz flies several feet backwards onto the ground, but she still has the predator spear in her hand.
We see Ian watch Liz hit the ground, then he turns and looks at the Predalien, who is looking at Liz. It hisses at her. Ian runs towards the Predalien, screaming at it as he gets closer. The hybrid hears him, turns and slaps him in the face with its claws. Ian tumbles several feet away, on the ground.
Liz stands up and looks over at Ian, who is struggling to stand up. The Predalien takes several steps towards Ian, slaps him on top of his head, causing him to falls back down onto the ground. The Predalien roars at Ian.
We see Luke, shocked and unable to help, take several steps back until he is against the control center. We see tears continuing to run down his face. Suddenly, we hear a hissing sound. Luke turns just in time to see an Alien Warrior's head appear from inside the control center.
Luke raises his handgun and aims it at the Alien. The warrior screeches at Luke seconds before Luke fires three shots into the alien's head, acid blood flying out of the wounds. The Warrior screeches in pain and collapses onto the ground.
Luke:
Fuck you.
Suddenly, the Alien warrior slowly stands up and hisses at Luke. Luke stares at it in shock, then aims the handgun at it's head again and fires four more bullets. The alien withers in pain on the ground before finally dying, giving off one last death shriek.
Luke slowly slides down the wall and rests his head up against it.
Luke:
Again... fuck you.
We focus on the Liz & Ian vs Predalien fight...
We see the Predalien get into what looks like the Predator's fighting pose as it roars at both Ian and Li, who are standing next to each other. The Predalien's tail swings violently back and forth in anger.
Ian:
Go and pull Noah out of here.
Liz:
I'm not leaving you so that you can get killed.
Ian turns and looks at Liz, who is almost on the verge of tears.
Ian:
I'm doing this to protect the one who means the most to me. Get Noah out of here, Liz.
Liz nods her head and rushes over to Noah's body. Ian turns and looks at the Predalien, who issues a challenge roar. Ian balls up his fists.
Ian:
Come and get me, you mother fucker.
The Predalien roars and it rushes over to Ian, grabs him and pushes him up against the cement wall that surrounds the landing pad. Ian's head bangs up against the wall and the Predalien extends it's predator mandibles as far as it can.
We see Liz get on both knees next to Noah, setting the predator spear down next to her. She lifts his head up a little bit. We see blood coming out of his mouth and the large, blood covered wound in his chest from where the Predalien stuck it's tail into him.
Noah opens his eyes slowly and looks up at Liz, who has tears rolling down her face.
Liz:
Noah...
Noah:
Liz... it hurts.
Liz:
I know... I know.
After a brief moment, we see Luke limping over to the other side of Noah and he lowers himself down as well.
Luke:
Hey.
Noah: (looking at Luke)
Hey. How are ya?
Luke chuckles for a brief moment.
Luke: (about to cry)
Worried about you.
Noah:
Luke... remember what dad used to tell us during rough times. Don't forget...
Suddenly we hear Noah stop breathing. Liz looks down at him, fighting her hardest not to cry. Luke places one of his hands on top of his head, trying not to cry as well.
After a moment Liz looks over at Luke.
Liz:
What did your father say?
Luke wipes away a single tear from his cheek.
Luke:
(after a pause) Only we have the power... to light up the darkness.
Luke reaches down, grabs one of Noah's hands and squeezes it, tears flowing down his face. Liz slowly closes both of Noah's eyes, reaches over and picks up thee spear.
Luke looks up at her.
Luke:
What are you doing?
Liz:
Lighting up the darkness.
She turns and starts walking over towards the Predalien, who still has Ian pinned up against the wall. The Predalien shoots out its inner mouth, but Ian dodges it. The Predalien shoots it out again, and again, Ian dodges the attack.
We see Liz appear next to the Predalien, holding the predator spear in her hands. After a brief moment we see the spear extend to its full length. The Predalien turns its head and hisses at Liz.
Liz stares at the Predalien for a brief moment, then charges at it, with the spear pointed at the hybrid monster. We see Liz jam the spear into the side of the Predalien, causing the creature to screech into the night sky. We see acid blood pour out of the spear wound. Ian stumbles away from the withering Predalien.
Liz helps Ian stand up and they both watch the Predalien collapse onto the ground. After a brief moment we see Luke slowly walk, limping, over to the Predalien, who is now laying on the ground. Liz and Ian watch as Luke aims the handgun at the Predalien's head.
Luke:
Get the fuck off this planet.
The Predalien turns it's head and roars at Luke. Luke fires one shot into the Predalien's mouth, causing a small amount of flesh and acid blood to erupt out of the back of the hybrid's neck.
We see Luke drop the handgun as Ian walks over to him and holds his boyfriend from behind. We see Liz start to smile slowly. (during this brief sequence, we hear the Adagio theme from Alien 3 playing, the piece of score that we hear after Ripley falls into the fire at the end of the film.)
We see Ian, Luke and Liz turn and on the horizon, emerging from behind several mountains in the distance, the first of Eclipse's two suns rising into the sky.
We now see a brief montage of shots, while the score from Alien 3 continues to play:
-we see Liz, Luke and Ian smile as they look at the sunrise.
-we see a shot of LV-026 from outer space, with the two suns illuminating the planet.
-we see Alien and Predator bodies laying in the med-center hallway.
-we see partially destroyed living room to the Bennet apartment.
-we see the main serving room of the Ranch House.
-a shot of the colony control center with sunlight appearing from behind the structure.
Theme from Alien 3 stops playing.
Fade to blackness for a few moments before we fade to...
Ext. Colony control center – Day.
We see the control center again, this time the two suns of LV-026 are directly over the colony. We hear nothing for a few moments. Suddenly we hear a low engine like sound. Whatever it is, it is getting closer and closer to the control center.
After another moment we see a USMC dropship fly over the control center. We see that it's two wings are spread open and we see the landing gears emerge from underneath the dropship.
Int. colony control center – landing pad terminal –Day.
We see the inside of the terminal, the same place where we saw the large fight between Celtic and a group of Aliens. We see the mutilated corpses of the Aliens laying all over the ground and the acid marks on the floor and walls.
After a moment, at the end of the terminal we see a group of about six Marines start to slowly walk down the terminal. Five of them are holding the Pulse rifles and one of them is equipped with a smartgun.
We see them examine the walls of the terminal.
Marine 1:
Jesus Fucking Christ. What happened here?
Marine 2:
I don't wanna know.
Suddenly, we hear what sounds like faint footsteps from the second floor of the control center.
Marine with smartgun:
Shh. Did anyone else hear that?
Marine 1:
Yeah, I did.
We watch for a moment as the Marines continue to walk through the terminal.
Int. Control center – communications room – Day.
We see Ian standing next to the double doors, which are closed, and his head is up against the doors, almost as if he is trying to listen. After a brief moment he turns and we see Luke and Liz passed out, in chairs next to each other. Luke has his head resting on Liz's shoulder.
After a moment, we hear the sounds of boots hitting metal flooring outside of the communications room. We see Ian turn and walk over to Liz and Luke. He taps Liz on her other shoulder, which wakes her up after a moment, with Luke opening his eyes as well.
Liz:
What's going on?
Ian:
I think the Marines are here.
Luke:
You kidding?
Ian:
Hell no.
We see Liz stand up from the chair, turn and help Luke stand up as well. Ian smiles then turns and walks over to the double doors. He walks over to the panel next to the double doors and presses a few buttons on it.
We see the doors slide open and we see the six Marines standing just several feet away. They raise their pulse rifles (and the one smartgun) at Ian, Luke and Liz.
Marine 2:
Who are you?
Ian:
We are the only survivors of the infestation. The one that my father described to you.
Marine 2 nods his head. The marines lower the weapons.
Marine 2:
My name is Corporal Peters. Are there any other hostiles in the area?
Liz:
No sir.
Corporal Peters walks up to Ian, Luke and Liz.
Corporal Peters:
We have a dropship parked several hundred meters behind this building. We are here to give you protection off of LV-026.
Corporal Peters looks over at Luke and notices the cast on his leg.
Corporal Peters: (cont'd)
The Ironhide has a state of the art infirmary on board. We'll be able to help you with whatever injuries you have. (beat) Please follow me.
We see the Marines turn and walk back down the hallway, with Liz, Ian, Luke and Corporal Peters following them.
Ext. Colony control center – behind building – Day.
We see about a dozen Marines standing near the dropship. The large metal ramp that leads up into the dropship is resting on the ground. We see the group of marines from earlier, along with Liz, Luke and Ian, walk towards the dropship.
The other Marines turn and start to walk up the ramp. The group of marines follow them as well. We see Corporal Peters look at Liz, then he follows his men up into the drop ship. We see Liz turn and look at Luke and Ian.
Liz:
You guys coming?
Ian:
We need to say goodbye to our home.
Liz nods her head, smiles then walks up the dropship's ramp. We see Ian turn and look at Luke, who is staring at the control center and the rest of the colony.
Ian:
Are you ok, sweetie?
Luke:
Yeah. (beat) I just hope that we'll never see those things again.
Ian holds onto Luke lovingly, kissing him lightly on his forehead.
Ian:
Me too.
We watch them hold onto each other for a moment before we cut to blackness.
After a moment of blackness, we hear the clicking sound of the Predators one last time before we smash cut to...
