Chapter 1

2 Days Later

The chestburster looked around the nest for food. It hadn't at for days and days. The more it searched the hungrier it got and also it got even more determined. Then it realized just one thing that he had to leave the nest. It pained him that he had to leave his birth place but he knew that it must be done and now too. The chestburster sniffed around looking carefully for a way out and found a tunnel that led somewhere. He didn't know where exactly but anywhere was better than here for now. It crawled the dark and creepy tunnel for an entire hour until he found a lighted entrance to a forest.

What surprised the chestburster was it was no longer dark. For it had seen light for the first time. The planet's sun was shining very bright at the chestbursters face. The warmth it had felt for the first time was both pleasing and a bit uncomfortable to it but it didn't care. Since it had no family xenomorphs to teach it that daylight was bad when in the open it didn't see how this affected him. Then out of nowhere a clan of Yautja came out of their camouflage. The scared chestburster instinctively hid underneath some trees. The Yautja seemed to be searching the nest for their fellow clan members. To the chestburster's surprise it could understand every single word they were saying. It was like an instinct that babies have knowing who their mother and father is.

This frightened the chestburster but he ignored this fact and concentrated on the Yautja. It lost its fear of them and followed silently behind them. They found the body of the Yautja the chestburster had killed when it was just a fachugger. The Yautja grew in rage when they saw the corpse.

"The xenomorph that did this shall pay for the death of my brother!" screamed out a Yautja in its native language.

An elder Yautja put his hand on his arm and said with ease, "Jukiluke, I am very sorry for the loss of your brother but you must remember the rules of the hunt. That even thought vengeance lies its heart the chances that you will meet up with xenomorph facehugger who should now be a chestburster are slim."

The Yautja understood what his elder was saying and nodded. They all started leaving and went towards the chestbursters direction. The creature returned back to its hiding place and stayed there. Then the Yautja named Jukiluke stopped in his tracks he grabbed the elders arm. Now all the Yautja stopped right there and looked at Jukiluke.

Jukiluke said softly, "Elder Trikon, I know that my vengeance shall never be fulfilled but I traced every DNA trail of the xenomorphs DNA it left on my brother Si' kiluki. But unfortunately I can't sense him until he is a xenomorph Drone stage but I swear to my brothers mark that I will find that xenomorph and slaughter him to pieces!"

This remark made the chestburster mad because it had lost its entire family because of this Yautja. But this Yautja called Jukiluke would never understand this maybe that Elder Trikon would but never Jukiluke. Never! It is a sin to not look at a situation from the point of view of another because sometimes they might be more hurt than you. The Yautja then left abrubtly after that. Now the chestburster still had to find a small animal to help grow him into a drone. A creature about the size of a cat or a dog. The problem was that it was miles for the next creature of that size. The chestburster started eating off small alien insects while it was searching hard. It finally found a baby R'oute bird which it was called in the Yautja language. The bird had a beak of spikes but this was a baby so it didn't have any now. Also it glided rather actually fly which gave the chestburster an edge against it.

The chestburster waited silently for the bird to come near using the darkness as a key it moved through the trees. Finally when the bird was busy on a worm the chestburster leaped and started choking the bird like a boa snake did with its body to prey. The bird couldn't make any sound so its mother didn't hear it sadly. Finally the R'oute baby fell dead. The chestburster took the baby's corpse and looked for a place where it would be safe to hibernate and eat the baby for its process to speed up. This would take at least a week so it would have to find a very safe place. Finally it found a perfect spot under the bark of a tree. This would his heavenly teenage period for now.
