Ch.5 Reborn
"XeYori?" Kim said with gasp as she turned to look back at Tiara and the others.
"What the fuck could have possessed you to do that!?" Shego asked as she walked over and grabbed Tiara by her collar.
Ron quickly walked over pushed Shego back. "I know you're mad, and I want answers too. But don't you ever put your hands on my wife again." Ron said glaring at her.
Shego returned the glare. "Wife or not, I don't think you understand the severity of the issue." Shego said to him.
"I understand that you need to back the hell off." Ron said standing in front of Tiara.
Kim rushed over. "Guys stop it, we're not supposed to be fighting amongst ourselves." She reminded them.
"You're right princess. If anything we'll talk about this after I destroy XeYori." Shego said flaring her hands up.
Shego didn't even take her first step when she another voice. "Back down Shego."
She turned to see Nick Fury, Black Widow, and her sister Destiny Go walking up.
"Shego." Black Widow said with a deadpanned expression.
"Natasha." Shego answered with an uninterested glance.
"What the hell is going on down here Fury?" Shego asked. "Why the hell have you been keeping that murderer alive?"
"She's essential to destroying the three sisters. Fight fire with fire Shego." Fury answered.
"Bullshit Fury. Like you can control her. She can't even control herself." Shego said her hands still covered in plasma.
"Project X-01's sole purpose is for xenomorph eradication." Black Widow told them.
"Not anymore consider your little science project terminated." Shego said as she charged XeYori's tube.
Shego was stopped as Destiny crashed into her. Destiny tackled her to the ground in front of XeYori's tube.
"Traitor!" Shego called out.
Destiny ceased her actions for a moment, as Shego's words stung her. However that second was all Shego needed to remove Destiny. Shego rose up quick, but Destiny was quicker as she grabbed Shego's right arm and pinned it behind her back. Destiny then pinned Shego to the wall, away from XeYori.
"I'm sorry Shego, but I can't let you destroy her." Destiny said.
"Why because Fury said so? You really have forgotten what it meant to be a Go didn't you. Unlike you I'm my own person, I don't let others make life decisions for me." She said as she struggled to free herself from her older sister's grasp.
"How did you get her corpse, I thought it was disposed of by the military?" Kim asked.
"I liberated it from them." Destiny said. "I was the only one who could."
"I guess breaking and entering as well as stealing runs in the family." Shego said with a sly smirk as she deactivated her powers.
Destiny relaxed her grip on Shego and let her off the wall.
"You know you're making a mistake right?" Shego asked her sister.
"If the end result ends in the deaths of Xita and her sisters then I know I've done some good." Destiny said.
"And if it doesn't how does that justify all the people we've sent to their deaths?" Vivian asked.
"They knew what they were fighting for, and the perils that came with it, we all do." Betty said.

Outside the base
Several soldiers were stationed around the base. The sun had set, that meant there was going to be a lot of xenomorph activity. They were right to believe so as a group containing fifty xenomorphs sat perched behind some rocks eyeing the perimeter.
They were they because of an odd presence they were sensing coming from deep within the base. They were drawn to it and was ordered by Xita to uncover whatever the humans may be hiding. The xenomorphs were all lurker class. They specialized in sneaking around and avoiding detection. They were led by one praetorian class xenomorph, and this xenomorph was special.
Among the day Xita and her sisters began their attack they had harvested several people, all of the metahuman or mutant varity. This praetorian was born after a facehugger had successfully harvested Nightcrawler.
The praetorian hissed as it directed the lurkers to take their positions. The xenomorphs spread out around the base as the praetorian crept closer. It hid behind a rock as a spotlight swept by slowly. It knew the watch towers would have to go first. It waited for the spot light to pass it by before focusing on the tower.
There was only one person in each tower. This was going to be easy. The praetorian tapped into its harvested ability and vanished in an instant. It reappeared behind the guard, who turned when he heard something land behind him.
The first thing he saw was the praetorian's clawed hand shoot out and grab him covering his mouth so he wouldn't scream out. The praetorian lifted the man up and shot forth quickly with its right hand slicling the guards head clean off.
The praetorian let out a quiet snicker like hiss as it watched the body drop down to the ground. It quickly spotted the next tower and teleported to it. Tis time the guard didn't get a chance to turn around. The praetorian covered the guard's mouth as well before stabbing its tail through his back killing him.
Acting quickly the praetorian teleported again. It appeared in the next tower and stabbed its hand through the third guard and teleported once more to the fourth and final guard. It grabbed the man and crushed his windpipe. It finished the guard off with its tail and then looked around to see that the other lurkers were in place.
There were a dozen guards patrolling the perimeter on the ground. It climbed to the top of one of the towers and reared up. The praetorian let out a screech that attracted the attention of the patrol unit. When the unit turned to see where the noise was coming from the lurkers pounced.
Acting quickly the lurkers stabbed the soldiers, dealing fatal blows. The praetorian looked on from above and saw that there was one more guard it overlooked. It hissed to the others to stop her as she was making her way to sound the alarms.
The woman looked back to see several of the lurkers chasing after her. She raised her gun to fire as a lurker lunged after her. However the lurker was faster and knocked her to the ground, causing her to drop her gun. The woman was able to push the xenomorph from off of her and she quickly scrambled to her feet. She dodged another lurker as it attempted to pounce on her. She smiled when she saw she was in reach to the alarm, and pushed her body to run faster.
However just before she could hit the alarm, her right hand was covered in green fluid. She quickly realized it was the molecular acid of the xenomorph. She clutched her wrist with her left hand tightly as she cried out from the pain. However she was about to be put out of her misery. She was hit again by the molecular acid this time in her chest and once more again in her abdomen.
The acid worked quick and dissolved the woman of her insides leaving her remains to rot on the ground. Looking on from above the praetorian looked out into the distance. There it saw the others it had stationed a little further back. These xenomorphs were a special breed as well. On their crowned heads were several pouches of concentrated molecular acid. The green fluid practically illuminated them in the light giving off some appearance of a multi-eyed being.
These breed of xenomorphs of were called spitters and they served as the snipers in the xenomorph army. Now with the perimeter now secure they just had to get inside and begin their mission.

From inside her tube XeYori began to stir. The sound of voices arguing back and forth stirred her from her slumber. Brushing her locks of ivory white hair aside she peered from her tube and the beings outside. Her mind was a lot less clouded than before and with her vision now clear, she could see those standing outside her tube.
XeYori's eyes widened at the sight of two women. The long haired raven woman with pale green skin and the red head. He somehow remembered them but from where? XeYori began thinking back in her head, her memories piecing themselves together, as they rushed at her like a flood.
"I re-remember.." XeYori muttered as an image of herself fighting Kim and Shego at Kim's house played over in her head.
Her memory showed how she bested them with ease, even wounding the red head. Her next memory shifted to fighting Shego in the rain, and there it seemed she had the upper hand until several others intervened, a young man and two older looking individuals.
"I killed them.." XeYori muttered as she remembered slaughtering Shego's parents. "Even still…" She muttered.
Her next memory was of her final battle against Team Possible. She had an army of those like her, they were mere moments away from victory until she was defeated. XeYori recalled the loss of her arm and she looked it over to see metal instead of flesh.
"I remember everything, now. I am XeYori, Queen of the Xenomorph race. I am second to none! And at long last.." She said as she grasped her breathing apparatus tugging at it. "I will have my revenge!" She said removing the apparatus.
Outside Kim and the others were still debating on the disposal of XeYori.
"I'm telling you if we don't kill her now, then it will be too late. The moment you let her out of that tube, is the moment everyone here dies!" Shego said.
"Shego's right." Kim added.
"Then tell me how are you going to take care of Xita and her sisters?" Betty proposed.
"You let us handle that." Ron said stepping up. "However, until you are ready to destroy that bitch in back, I'm taking my squad and family to another location."
"You can't do that!" Betty said. "Your squadron is a key component here, you do that and the xenomorphs will overrun us. Mr. Load they are your friends you convince them."
Wade sighed. "There isn't anything I can say, once they've made up our minds, there's no changing it." He admitted.
"Widow, stand guard over X-01, make sure no one gets in." Nick Fury ordered.
Black Widow nodded as she walked over and sealed the door shut, locking the others out. She walked over to XeYori's tube and gazed at the xenomorph queen. She looked up and saw that the creature was awake.
"You're awake are you? Good." She said as she stepped closer.
Xeyori pressed her hands up against the glass as she tried to get a better look at Widow. Widow got closer pressing her hand against the glass. She placed her left hand over XeYori's metallic right hand amazed by the size difference. XeYori's hands were three times as bigger than her owns, but that was thanks to the growth hormones they fed into her body.
"You killed a lot of my comrades during your reign six years ago when you destroyed Global Justice. I would like nothing more than to put two bullets into your head, but luckily for you, you still have use." Widow said to the xenomorph.
XeYori merely stared at the red head observing the agent.
"Tell me creature, how does it feel to be imprisoned? To know that you're life is in the hands of those you once sought out to destroy?" She asked her.
When no answer came, Widow merely just sneered. She hated the xenomorphs, she couldn't stand the sight of them. She raised her eyebrow when she glanced back at XeYori. There was something off about the creature but she couldn't place her finger on it, until she looked at the bottom of the tank she was floating in.
At the bottom were the breathing apparatus and the several other cords and IV's that were recording her condition. Widow looked up wide eyed at XeYori only to see the xenomorph queen smiling.
"To answer your earlier question, your hands are too small to hold some as great as I. Mine on the other hand.."

Outside the doors Team Possible's argument with With Fury and Betty remained at a standstill.
"A lot of good that'll do ya. I'll carve my way in and fry that xenobitch!" Shego said.
"You do so much as scratch that tank and I'll have you locked away somewhere so bad, it'll make XeYori's tank seem like paradise." Fury said as he got in Shego's face.
"I dare you." Shego said to him.
"You can't do that." Destiny said to him.
Fury held up his hand, telling Destiny to hold her tongue. However Destiny refused as she forced her way between Fury and Shego.
"I won't just stand here and listen to you threaten my family. I've been behind you on many things, but this is where it stops." Destiny said to him.
However before the argument can escalate even further, they heard Black Widow scream out. Reacting quickly, Betty and Fury rush the door, and open it with a swipe from a keycard. As soon as they do they are met with a dark room.
Fury motions for Betty to watch his six as he reaches for his gun. Betty nods as she goes to pull out her pistol. They take cautious steps as they walk in. Shego, Kim Ron and Tiara exchange glances before nodding.
"Wade get Tiara and Vivian out of here." He says to the young scientist.
Wade nods and takes Tiara to the elevator. Tiara mouths the words "Be Careful" to Ron as she is led away. Ron joined up with Kim and Shego as they used their plasma powers to illuminate the place.
They followed behind Betty and Fury, watching the shadows as they silently walked to the end of the room.
"Is it too late to say I told you so?" Shego whispered to Fury and Betty.
Both of them just merely ignored the pale skinned woman as they searched around the room. When they reached the end, Shego shined some light on the floor as she heard the crunch of glass beneath her feet. Looking down she could see that the floor was covered in water, as well as glass.
Kim reached down and picked up a shard, that had a piece of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s logo on it. "Shego." Kim said as she showed the shard to her.
Shego then directed the light to her right where XeYori's tank was, and found it was empty and shattered, as if something had broken out.
"Looking for someone?" they heard a voice say.
Fury shined his flashlight to their left and revealed XeYori's smiling face. However before they could react, XeYori, launched several tables up with her tail and then kicked them towards the group. The force of which they were impacted was great enough to knock them out of the room.
They all groaned as XeYori began marching towards them. Acting quickly Fury sealed the doors shut with a swipe of the card. He stepped back some a small smirk on his face.
"Do you honestly think those doors will hold her?" Kim said.
"Little girl those doors could stop Juggernaut if he was still alive." Nick boasted.
Suddenly they heard a loud hissing sound. Fury kept his pistol trained on the door as he watched a strange substance start to appear at its center. Soon the doors began to dissolve away, letting XeYori step through.
"I guess you forgot about the part where she can spit fucking acid." Shego said to him.
XeYori stepped out, and as she did was still holding on to Widow's body, by her crushed skull.
"What did you do to her?" Destiny asked.
"I merely showed her how much stronger the hands of a xenomorph are to that of a human's." The xenomorph replied.
"She's mine!" Destiny said with anger as she charged XeYori.
"Destiny wait!" Kim called out.
However Destiny wasn't hearing it. Black Widow was a close friend of hers and she was just killed by the creature she had brought back to the lab.
'I'm Sorry Natasha. I'll avenge you I'll swear it.' Destiny silently promised.
She ran up to XeYori and went in for a kick but, XeYori smacked her away with Widow's body, sending her and the deceased agent tumbling across the floor. Shego let out a growl as XeYori looked right over to them.
"Kim, Shego how long has it been? A few weeks, months?" She asked.
"Try six years." Kim answered, getting into a defensive stance.
"I see, you've all grown. Especially you Ron-kun." She said looking at the blonde. "I also see some new faces, some I recognize and some I don't." She said referring to Destiny, Fury and Betty.
However when her eyes locked on Betty, XeYori began to smile. "I also see it's actually the real Dr. Director standing before me. Yes, I remember your scent all too well." She said as she began taking several steps toward her.
Shego ran up and tried to kick her, but XeYori grabbed her foot, with her right hand. As she did she lifted Shego up to her eye level.
"Anata ga zusan ete iru. (You've gotten sloppy)" She told her before slamming Shego onto the floor.
Shego cried out as she impacted the ground with great force. Hearing Shego's cries of pain brought a smile to the xenomorphs face. "Oh how I've missed that."
XeYori then raised her foot as she prepared to crush her under her heel. She stopped when her body surged with electricity, making her cry out.
"Heel." Fury said as held a small device in his hand.
XeYori dropped to her knees as her body seemed to be out of her control. "I can't….control my body."
"That's because it's not yours to control anymore." He said to her.
"Fukano…(Impossible)" She muttered. "How disgraceful." She said as she struggled to fight against the control.
XeYori grunted as she dropped to her hands. She let out a roar as her tail whipped about.
"All your abilities are now mine to control." He said to the xenomorph.
"Ie. (No)" XeYori responded. "There is still one thing I have…you do not control."
"What is that?" Fury asked with a smug look on his face.
"My pride!" XeYori roared as she began to stand back up.
Fury pressed some buttons increasing the voltage. "You keep this up and your nervous system is going to fry." He told her.
XeYori roared out again as she stood back up. She struggled to raise her arm as she was going to strike him.
"I thought I told you to heel!" He said.
"Nick move!" Betty called out as she began making her way to him.
However Fury was confident that he could get the xenomorph under control. Unfortunately he realized too late that wasn't a possibility. XeYori brought her mechanical arm down, but thanks to Betty the attack missed. However Fury dropped the remote in the process and it was smashed in the attack. Also as XeYori's mechanical arm made contact it released currents of electricity.
This surprised the others as well as XeYori.
"Nani. (What the)" She said as she observed her hand, looking it over. XeYori then looked the rest of her body over, and concentrated. She could feel the new surges of abilities flowing through her.
She raised foot and brought it down as more currents of electricity pulsed out. Her tail crackled with electrical energy as well, and she smiled. She had to admit, the humans made her a lot more powerful than she had previously been and she just had to thank them for it.
"We have to get out of here." Betty said. "She's too much of a threat to face without more powerful equipment."
"That won't do us no good." Fury said getting up. "Without that remote the only way to stop her is to cut into her, but there are no weapons down here like that."
"My swords." Kim said speaking up. "When Cortez constructed my swords, he made them from a substance that allows them to cut through steel. I'm sure wade has one of them repaired." Kim said.
"But your swords are back up in the base. By the time someone could bring them down here, we'd all be dead." Betty said.
"Then we bring her to the top." Fury responded.
"That's crazy, do you know how many people she'll kill?" Shego asked.
"I'll radio Wade, and have him order an immediate evacuation." Betty quickly replied.
"Again I repeat, do you know how many people she'll kill?" Shego reiterated.
"It's our only shot, things have unfortunately escalated to far." Ron said.
"Quickly, to the elevator!" Betty ordered.
XeYori gave a bewildered look, as her opponents suddenly turned tail and ran. Looking ahead of them, she saw that they were headed for the elevator. Like she was going to let Kim and Shego just escape.
She fired a stream of highly concentrated acid at the elevator. It sailed past them and impacted the doors. XeYori shoot forth another stream that this time snapped cables not allowing, causing the elevator to come crashing down.
"She destroyed it!" Ron shouted.
"It's ok." Fury said as he was holding an unconscious Destiny. "There is one more." He said nodding to his left, directing them to the one that was just mere feet away. "The only problem is that it can only hold five people." He said.
"And there is only six of us." Kim quickly pointed.
"Which means one of us will have to stay behind, until the elevator comes back down." Shego commented.
They went silent for a moment, as they exchanged glances on who was going to be the one to stay behind.
"I'll do it." Betty said.
"Are you insane, you'll be slaughtered. I'll hold her off." Fury demanded.
"I've still got one good arm." Betty said as she grabbed his gun.
Before anyone could protest she charged off towards XeYori. Betty knew that all she had to do was buy some time that she could surely manage.
"Hoping to buy some time?" XeYori asked. "You'll barely satiate my appetite."
"Shut up and fight." Betty told her.
"As you wish." XeYori said before lunging forward.
Betty rolled out of the way of her foot, and fired the gun. The bullet bounced off of her metal limbs as the xenomorph shot a blast of electricity from her right palm. Betty dodged but the impact from it hitting the ground knocked her back.
XeYori was quick to grab Betty in her right hand. The last thing Kim and the others saw before the elevator doors closed was Betty in XeYori's clutches.
"It would be a simple matter to crush you, but I wish to have some fun, I did just wake up after all." XeYori said.
Her right hand crackled with electricity as she funneled it through Betty's body. Betty screamed out as XeYori kept electrocuting her. XeYori stopped when Betty seemed to have passed out from the torture.
XeYori laughed. "I think I'll torture Kim and Shego as well." She said with a laugh.
However Betty wasn't out yet, as she quickly opened her eyes and snapped her gun up. She switched it the pistol to its secondary function and it emitted a wave of electrical currents. The waves would merely cause XeYori's mechanical parts to malfunction for a short time.
Upon malfunctioning she was freed from the xenomorph's grasp. Betty took this as her chance to put some distance between her and the former xenomorph queen. She looked back to see that she was still not moving.
Betty knew that XeYori was like a computer. Her systems had to reboot, which meant XeYori was taking a quick nap, however in a minutes time, she would be up and running again. Betty had to catch her breath her heart was beating ferociously, thanks to XeYori's shock therapy.
"Thirty seconds and counting." Betty said clocking the seconds until XeYori's reboot would be complete.
Taking a few more seconds to calm down, Betty then raised her gun. Her arm began trembling as she tried to point the barrel between XeYori's eyes.
"Ten seconds and counting." Betty said as she steadied her aim.
Betty fired the shot at the same time XeYori's systems came back online. XeYori caught the bullet in her right hand, and smiled. "Nice try, meinu. (bitch)" XeYori commented.
Just then they both heard a ding. Looking over they saw the doors to the elevator opening. Betty smiled it was time for her to go. Betty glanced over at XeYori to see that the xenomorph was still looking at the elevator. She supposed that XeYori assumed someone was going to pop out of it.
Taking this momentary distraction as an advantage she made a break for the elevator. XeYori then turned her attention back to Betty and began to shoot her streams of acid. Betty was quick to dodge the highly concentrated substance as she continued on her path to the elevator.
XeYori then made a leap towards the one eyed woman, landing in front of her as well as cutting off her path to the elevator. When XeYori landed, the shockwave knocked Betty off her feet. Acting quickly XeYori then swatted Betty with her left hand making her roll across the ground.
"Game over." XeYori told her.
"Try me bitch." Betty said getting up.
XeYori roared out as she charged Betty. She was going to swallow the annoying woman whole. Betty quickly switched the gun back to its secondary function, hoping to short out XeYori's systems one more time. When XeYori was close enough Betty fired the gun.

Minutes later
The alarms blared as everyone scrambled to evacuate. Kim and Shego was waiting on Wade to deliver her sword, only having enough time to repair just one of the blades. Destiny had been taken to safety, while Ron and Team Go handled the evacuations. A few of the supervillians that being Blackfire and Killer Frost were on standby, to provide cover fire on XeYori if she escaped.
Kim and Shego waited around the corner, when they heard the ding of the elevator. They rushed to corner, propping themselves up against the wall. Shego peeked around the corner as she saw the doors open. She tensed up as for a few seconds there was no sign of anyone in the elevator.
Kim peered around the corner as well. She let her enhanced genetics kick in, hoping to get a better look into the elevator, but it did little next to nothing in aiding her. She gestured for Shego to stay put while she goes and checks the elevator. Shego was about to protest against the idea, but Kim had begun making her move.
"Betty…" Kim called out for the Global Justice director.
She heard a small groan. She could tell it was Betty and she moved in closer. When she stepped into view, Kim's eyes widened. Betty had made it onto the elevator, but so had XeYori, as she had her tail pierced through the woman's gut. Xeyori had a twisted smile on her face, as she dangled Betty in front of Kim, gesturing or the red head to come and save her.
"Sorry…Kim…" Betty said with her dying breath.
And scene! This is the end here. XeYori has already claimed two lives, but how many more will she take and can she stopped? What of the praetorian xenomorph and the group of lurkers that have either infiltrated the base or waiting in ambush? All revealed in the next chapter. Also I've decided to call the praetorian Darkstalker, since I think it will be kind of bland to keep referring to it as praetorian every time.
