CH. 8- One More Battle

Scar stood up and looked over the crumbling ice. Lex began to stand up too. Celtic and Jaslene looked at them from behind the snowmobile. The two stayed there quietly.

Scar looked at Lex. 'Damn.' he thought. And she looked at him. 'Damn.' she thought. Scar began to take off his mask. 'Well this is it!' they thought.

At the same time:

'Can I love her?' 'Can I love him?'

'No!' Lex thought exhaling. 'Absolutely not!'

Scar roared. She shook a little. 'Well she's not running away!'

She looked into his eyes. Celtic and Jaslene happily watched. 'Well okay, he's not the ugliest I've seen. I guess.'

He took the finger from a string on his belt. She watched intently. Then he held it up. She noticed the mark. She turned her cheek to him. She closed her eyes as the acid blood touched her skin. As gently as he could he made the mark.When he was done they looked at eachother.

"They're as good as married." said Celtic. Then he and Jaslene ran out from behind the snowmobile. Scar and Lex looked at them.

"Jaslene!" called Lex in disbelief. The two women hugged. The brothers exchanged warm looks. Then the ground began to shake. The four looked over as the ice broke and flew into the air. The queen Xenomoph popped out. Celtic and Scar growled as they put Lex and Jaslene behind him. They all backed up as the queen drew near. Scar cocked his blades and shot them out as Celtic pulled out a disk and threw it at the queen. She roared. Then Scar got his disk out too. The queen swung her tail knocking both Celtic and Scar back. Jaslene and Lex ducked down, but were left open to be attacked now. Lex looked to Scar as Jaslene looked to Celtic.

Scar stumbled to his feet. So the queen slammed her tail into him again. He was knocked to the ground. She was about to stab him when Lex came up and stabbed her with the make-shift spear. Jaslene went to Celtic. He was bleeding badly now. There was noway he could fight. He gave her his other disk

"Use it when you think we've won." he said. "No sooner. I will be okay, just be careful."

The queen flung Lex and fell into a burning building. Lex stumbled to feet. She noticed the acid blood was soaking through her jacket. She quickly took it off and began to run. The queen yanked the spear out, then began to rush after Lex. She ran for the water tank with the queen at her heels. When she reached it she crawled under. Jaslene went to Scar and helped him up.

"Celtic?!" he said.

"He's injured, but he said he'll be okay." she replied.

"Lex?!" They looked to the tank. The queen was almost to her. She pushed the tank back and was about to take a finishing bite when Scar jumped over and speared the queen right in the face. She shrieked and turned away. Scar landed proudly.

"Stay away from my woman!" he roared.

Lex got out from underneath. Then she noticed the chain laying on the ground. She looked to the tank. Quickly she picked it up and tried to pull it over. There was not enough slack. Scar came to her aid and pulled the beast closer. Lex got the chain around a piece of the tank. That's when Jaslene noticed what Celtic meant. The queen broke part of the spear off. She aimed her tail for Scar.

"Got it!" shouted Lex. Scar looked at her. Then suddenly-

The queen shrieked her loudest. Her tail was cut haft way through. Scar and Lex looked in shock. The queen missed her target thanks to Jaslene. Scar and Lex quickly broke the remanding part that held the tank on and fled. The queen was dragged off the cliff and into the depths of the icy water. Scar and Lex looked over the cliff proudly. Then they looked over to see Jaslene kneeling next to Celtic.
