Mouse was huddled in a corner of a hallway, on the side of a locker, rocking back and forth. The sound of quick-paced footsteps could be heard echoing though out the hallway. Daren, who had gathered along with the rest of the students still at the school around the police tape that acted as the barrier into the gym, was searching the halls for Mouse.

When he found him, he found a shell of Mouse. Looking into Mouse's eyes, he saw absolutely nothing. Mouse was blankly staring at the wall across from him, and there wasn't anything that Daren could do to snap him out of it. "Mouse, hey Mouse, do you hear me? Snap out of it. What happened at the gym?"

After a few more minutes of trying to get through, Daren realized that he wasn't getting anywhere. He looked around, trying to figure out what was going on. Daren felt stupid after taking a second to think about it. "Krystal and Analisa show up at the school and now there are dead bodies in the gym." He thought to himself. It was so obvious that the two girls had something to do with it. He didn't want, couldn't believe that Krystal would have voluntarily been involved with the slaughtering of the cheerleaders. Analisa had to have been pulling the strings. In Daren's mind, it was time for the strings to be cut.

Daren ran out to the parking lot to his car, but leaning up against his Challenger was a tall man. Daren didn't know who the man was, neither did he look familiar. With a sense of urgency, Daren yelled at the man to get off of his car. "Hey, get the fuck off my car!"

"Wow, the language of kids now-a-days. What would your mother say if she heard that type of language?"

As the man spoke, Daren felt a little uneasy, like he had heard the voice before. "Who are you? What do you want?"

"I believe that you and I want the same thing…the girls."

"No thanks, I have enough chicks trying to jump on my dick. I don't need to go cruising for them. They tend to flock to my shit by themselves."

The man smiles. "Well It seems like the two girls you want the most at this point in time are no were near "your shit"."

"Do you know where Krystal is?"

"I haven't the slightest clue, but I do have a few ideas on where Analisa may be. My guess is your fragile girlfriend would be wherever Ana is."

"Are you going to tell me, or am I gonna have to beg."

"I prefer the begging to be on your knees."

Daren rolled his eyes and reached for the door, but the man slammed the door closed. "I don't have time for this. I need to find Krystal." Darren added.

"Let's just say you do find her, what are you going to do? Stop her? Reason with her? I don't think you're fully prepared to take on a Xenomorph, let alone a Xeno and Ana."

"Well then come with me. If you and Analisa are so close, I'm sure you can handle yourself."

"I can, but I have no intentions on testing my limits and possibly getting myself killed."

"Since you're so wise and all, what do you advise I do?"

"Drop the situation and forget about all of it."

"I'm not going to do that."

The man stood up from leaning on the car. "I figured you'd say that. In that case, I advise you go to the source of all of this, and start to ask questions."

Daren stared at the man and realized that he would have to talk with Krystal's father. "Listen; let me get your cell number so I can get a hold of you later." Daren opens his car door and reaches in to grab his own phone. When Daren crawls back out of the car, the man is gone. "Or not."

Miles away from the school in an old building, Krystal, back in her human form, is huddled in a corner, rocking back and forth the same manner as Mouse was at the school. Analisa watched Krystal, quietly cursing to herself for letting Krystal go too far. By no means did Analisa not enjoy what Krystal had done, it was the matter of it happening so early. Analisa had a plan. She had spent months going over every inch of the plan she had drawn up, and right now, it was at least a few months ahead of schedule with Krystal's recent outburst.

Analisa couldn't dwell on that anymore, she had to focus on the positives of it. Majority of the things that were skipped, due to Krystal, were things that were expendable. Analisa's perfect plan could still go on with the outcome that she had predicted.

Krystal had been in the corner for the last hour, just rocking back and forth and mumbling. At the beginning, it was cute in Analisa's eyes. After the first thirty minutes, it became very annoying. She tried to calm Krystal down and bring her back to reality, but nothing would work. Nothing that Analisa was saying was getting through to Krystal. Analisa began to wonder if Krystal was even aware of the world around her. Analisa took her battle gauntlet and slipped her left hand into it. Going all the way up to her elbow, it housed two foot long, sharp, jagged blades that could spring out in under two seconds. The force alone would rip through a man without any extra pressure applied by the user.

Analisa, with the opening for the blades pointed towards Krystal's face, triggered the blades to extend. With the blades centimeters away from Krystal, not even a flinch or twitch came from Krystal. Analisa's suspicions were correct. Krystal was totally gone from reality.

Analisa wasn't totally surprised by it. Krystal had just dismembered eight girls, while she was transformed, and was fully aware of everything happening. A moment of insanity was to be expected. Analisa retracted her blades and knelt down to be eye level with Krystal. "Whenever you decide to come back to planet Earth, I'll be here to talk. Until then, have fun in the dark." Analisa stood up and walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

There was only a little bit of light coming in through the one and only window in the room. As the door closed, Krystal's eyes shifted slowly towards the door, showing signs of her never "leaving Earth".

Daren entered Kevin Shaw's lab with an intensity that would cause you to think that he was looking for a fight. Everyone in the lab instantly stopped what they were doing and stared at Daren. "Where is Shaw?" Daren yelled. No one answered, they just continued staring. Daren walked over to a piece of equipment that looked very expensive and pushed it off of the table it was on, shattering it into pieces. "I'm not done yet. Tell me where the fuck your boss is and we can all be cool." They all continued to be silent. "Ok…I see how you want to play it." Daren went to break something else, but a voice from behind stopped him. "I'm starting to lose faith in our security in this building." Daren looked back and saw Daniel standing with his arms crossed.

"Where's Shaw?" Daren asked.

"He's not here. He's been out looking for his daughter. She hasn't been around much. I'm going to take a wild guess it's because of you."

"Actually, it's not. I've been wondering where she's been the last two days, and my question was answered this morning at school."

"She was at school this morning?"

"Oh fuck yea she was. It was hard to miss her, especially with the way she was dressed. But that's not the point. She was with this chick Analisa. That's who she's been with the last two days."

"Are you introducing Krystal to more of your loser friends? You're a great influence for Krystal. I'm sure Kevin is going to enjoy knowing that you two are still friends after what's been going on."

"So you know?"

"It depends, what is it you're asking that I'm aware of?"

"Do you know what happened at the school today?"

"You just told me, Krystal showed up with some new friend."

"No, that's not the crazy part. Apparently, all the cheerleaders that would pick on Krystal are dead. Their bodies draped all over the gym, fucked up beyond any and all recognition. It's like a fucking rabid pit bull tore them to shreds, but if that pit bull was about three hundred pounds and about six feet tall."

"Wait, are you telling me Krystal transformed…at the school?"

"I don't know. I was only able to see the aftermath of it. My dude Mouse, I think he was there during the whole thing and saw it, but he's too fucked up in the head right now to say anything to anyone."

"Holy shit!" Daniel began pacing back and forth. "Everyone out…NOW!" All the other people in the lab began to quickly file out, leaving only Daniel and Daren. "How can this happen?" Daniel asked.

"I was going to ask you the same exact question."

"I could easily bore you with the details on how this could happen, but I'm not. We can't waste any more time. We need to find Krystal."

"And that Analisa bitch. I'm not a hundred percent on it, but I'm pretty sure she's the one to blame for Krystal going E.T."

"Analisa…I'm guessing by the way you talk about her, you don't know her?"

"Nope. I first saw her at the rave I threw, the one I took Krystal to. She was there, and she was very interested in Krystal."

"What happened?"

"I could easily bore you with the details, but it's pretty irrelevant at this point."

"Analisa….Analisa….that name."

"I'm guessing you know that name?"

"I do, but I just don't….wait!" Daniel runs to his desk and begins looking for a file. "Do you know her last name?"

"Uh…" Daren didn't know Analisa's last name. Daren felt, for some reason, like the name was on the tip of his tongue. He closed his eyes and thought about it really hard. Just then, a flash of Krystal in the building, sitting in the corner was in his head. He opened his eyes and looked straight at Daniel. "…Von Dennison, her name is Analisa Von Denison."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah…I think. Why?"

"I now know why that name sounds so familiar to me. Analisa is the name of Margaret Von Dennison's daughter. Dr. Dennison works here, on the opposite wing of the building."

"Oh…ok, great. I guess we have a lead now, but you don't look too happy about this."

"You're right, I'm not happy at all. If what you're telling me is true, and Dennison's daughter is messing around with Krystal, we're in some deep shit."

"Why's that?"

"Kevin and Dr. Dennison have been rivals for as long as I've worked here. Dennison has been out to end Kevin's career longer than that. This can't be good."

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to pay a visit to the good doctor."

"Oh yes we do!"

Back at the run downed building, Analisa walked in the room and shut the door behind her. Krystal was now standing, looking through the broken glass of the window. "It seems like you're back to reality. I was starting to worry." Analisa said with a smile. Krystal slowly turned around and stared at Analisa with a ghostly look on her face. "You ok luv? You don't look too well. Maybe we should get you washed up. You still have blood on you." Analisa began walking towards Krystal.

"Why wash the blood from my clothes, when it's about to be stained by more." Krystal replied as she raised her head and brushed the hair from her face. Krystal's eyes were bright, lime green, and she was drooling. "Luv, what's wrong with you? I think it's time you need to rest a bit."

"I don't need to rest. I need to feed!"

"What, feed, what in the bloody hell are you talking about?"

Krystal's spine began shifting and rippling. The sight of it looked painful, but Krystal continued to stand as if nothing was happening. Just then, he Xenomorphic tail began to extend out of the small of her back. The entire length of the six foot Xeno tail was now effortlessly floating in the air, and Krystal was still Krystal.

Analisa was confused. Krystal was still human, but showing signs of her Xenomorph side. Analisa began to inch backward towards the door, but as soon as she had her hand on the door knob, Krystal, in a blink of an eye, moved across the room and had Analisa pinned up against the door by her throat.

"Where are you going…luv?" Krystal said mocking Analisa's British accent.

"Krystal, let me go. What are you doing?"

"I told you, my pretty…" Still mocking the accent. "I must feed!"
