Obsidian Mystery

Snake-Eater and his small group lead the way while Zombie lead Bali by pulling his arm like a small child. His eyes still haven't adjusted to the dark yet, Snake-Eater carried nothing, he needed no weapon while his two Unblooded carried am Assault Rifle and AK47. Zombie carried a machete, he preferred to fight with a blade weapon. Snake-Eater halted the group and looked around the corner, a Marine armed with a Pulse Rifle (gun that shoots electro-balls). Snake-Eater looks at the sign the Marines light shined on.

NEW WEAPONS

EXTREME CAUTION

Snake-Eater smiles at that. He then quietly sneaks behind the Marine and snaps his neck, the Marines body drops to the ground. Snake-Eater motions the others to come, Bali grabs the flash light and shined it on them then the Marine.

"You had to kill him?"

"What other choice do we have?" Snake-Eater asked.

Zombie grabs the rifle and hands it to Bali, he looks at it and takes it. He checks the ammo and loads it again. Snake-Eater looks at the doors but the sound of Warrior Xeno howls caused everyone to look down the hall at the room at the far end.

"Elder what should we do?" Clicked one of the Unblooded.

Snake-Eater slowly walks down toward the door, the glass window to his right showed Black Dawn in a glass case on the other side as well as a gun rack.

"There could only be one person who could make Warriors howl." Snake-Eater said with happy clicks.

Knight and Hitachi followed the frighten guard, he lead them into another hallway but he was attacked by a Face-hugger, Knight rips the creature off and the guard collapses. Knight crushes the Face-hugger in his hand and tosses it aside.

"You're not impregnated. Get up."

The guard staggers to his feet and points to the door at the far end.

"She's behind that door."

Knight smiles and grabs the guard, he walks over to the garbage shoot and drops the guard down it.

"Why did you do that?" Hitachi asked.

"Letting him live, all he has to do is walk outside and run for his life."

They then hear the Warrior Xenos howl, they cautiously walk toward the door. Knight reads the sign above the door.

"EXTREME CAUTION! Hmm."

Knight pulls the doors open and they walk in to a hideous and a terrible sight. A massacre, bodies of xenos, hybrids, humans, Face-huggers were everywhere. Either whole or in bits and pieces, blood and acid blood was everywhere, the small generator in this room had the lights going but even the lights flickered.

- - - - Hitachi's POV

I looked around the room, excited about what might happen next. I heard footsteps coming my way, from the door to my right, I got up against the wall and smirked, just like all those years ago. The door opened, a human walked through. I grabbed him, lifting him up to my level.

"Bali!?" I asked, "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Yo-yo-your Elder friend... Please let me down." He said, he was scared it could've been one of the hive xenomorphs.

"Oh, of course." I set him down gently.

"Hitachi?" A familiar voice rang in my head. I looked to through the door, into the hallway.

"Snakey!" I said, releasing Bali and hugging Snake as he exited the hall way. "I missed you!" I said happily, he hugged back, he's a very nice friend.

"I'm sure you've said that, but I missed you too." He answered back as best as he could in the human tongue. I pulled back examining him up and down.

"Look at you!" I said. "You're a High Elder now! How exciting!" I smiled.

"You're a Queen now, a lot bigger then you were." He looked at me up and down as well. "It's been too long, my friend." He said.

"Much too long, I am excited too see you! But not under these circumstances. Truthfully I was envisioning a time where we meet again somewhere not in danger... again." I giggled.

"I agree, but this is a big problem, a very, very big one and we need your help." He said.

"I know... I just, really wanted to see you out in Africa again, where we could talk and do what we wanted." I sighed.

"Life doesn't always go as planned." He said.

"Excuse my interruption but... I'd like to ask, is it 'Knaknook' or is it 'Hitachi'?" Bali asked.

"So you did hear what Knight called me, my name is Knaknook, Hitachi was a name given to me by an old friend." I said, Bali nodded.

"Ah, okay." He thought about it a moment.

"So, since I haven't seen you in years nor have I heard a word or rumor from you or anyone around you and I just now ruined my new robe..." I hugged him again, lifting him up this time. Setting him back down. Pointing directly at him. "Your going to make me an entirely new robe!" I said.

He laughed.

"Make? Nah, I don't know how to stitch, buy? Sure." He answered.

I sighed happily. "So... now what's do we do? I'm board out of my mine here." I would have rolled my eyes... if I had any.

"Who is this?" A Yautja asked.

"Her name is Hitachi, a good friend." Snake answered.

My mind sparked once more. I hissed. "Where's Bur? I want to rip him limb from limb!" I hissed. Snake laughed at my sudden change in character.

"Do not worry, I'm sure you'll get the chance sometime." He put his hand up. "Trust me, I know when you get mad, you hold a grudge against anyone who says the wrong thing." He smiled.

- - - - End POV

"You called?" Bur's voiced echoed in the room.

They all look at the small glass unit in the middle of the room, Bur stood on top of it tossing a dead Altered Knight Xenomorph the ones Knight and Hitachi encountered in the sewers.

"So it was you Bali, you're the traitor."

"You guys have been doing this for far to long! It has to end!" Bali said aiming the gun at him.

Bur hisses at Bali which causes Bali to hide behind Zombie instantly, everyone readied themselves as Bur taps the metal roof of the glass unit.

"She is a fine one, a perfect mate for me. I must say that our time together was spectacular. It's really sad she was put down."

This shocks Snake-Eater and Knight, in fact it shocked them all.

"You lie!" Bali shouted behind Zombie.

Bur laughs and shows them a strand of Outsider's hair.

"I'm not."

A dead human body was thrown at Bur which caught him off guard and something jumps onto his back, he yells in pain as the thing drove it's claws into Bur's back and it's fangs into Bur's neck. Bur was then thrown backwards as the thing stood there hissing at him. A human...

"Outsider?" Snake-Eater clicked.

She looks at them, sits down and waves to them. Her skin was covered in xeno and human blood, the lights showed little change on her.

"You sure did take your time, but I know you all were busy as was I."

"You did this?" asked Hitachi.

"Yep."

Outsider stands up and flips backwards landing on top of Bur's back breaking a few ribs and cracking his spine, she then throws him into the wall, he goes right through it.

"Never touch me again!"

Xenos appear out of the vents above her, she looks up at them. She dodges their tails and claws, she manages to grab one by the tail, she rips the tail off turning it into a whip, she eases her way to the others killing any xeno that got close.

"Quickly!"

Bali lead everyone out of the room and closes the door tight with Zombie's help. Outsider tosses the tail aside, she looks at everyone for they were all looking at her, in shock.

"What?"

Bali covers his eyes, they all look her up and down but Snake-Eater, he looks away.

"Your naked." Snake-Eater clicked.

"What's new? Being stripped before some freaks or having some smart-ass Triple Breed who wants to breed with you? Your pick cousin."

The xenos in the sealed room howl in pain and anger.

"You will not get away Outsider!" yelled Bur on the other side.

"Hurry we must get out!" Bali said as he pulls Outsider.

Snake-Eater pulls Hitachi from the door telling her they better move or they might be over run. As they near the end of the hall Outsider bolts to another hall and into another room, Bali knows his mission is to rescue her and the others but what was she doing?

"Where you going? This is supposed to be a rescue!" He shouted at her.

Outsider breaks the glass holding her swords and walks back to them.

"Forgot my swords."

"Oh."
