(I decided to get a bit more into Luke's war story and his conflicts in his life and sorry again for the late chapter.)

Chapter 11

Tu'Raii stayed lowed down on the tall grass along with Tri'Lii. There were Yautja patrols searching the area for something. These Yautja were on their striles fully armored and fully armed. Tu'Raii knew they were looking for Du'Haii but when she heard them talking there appeared to be a human with them. Also the strange thing was he didn't appear to be their prisoner but he seemed to be commanding them. Tu'Raii went for a closer look.

"Okay! We know that both of them are heavily armed. Jukiluke would probably use the enhanced xenomorph as an advantage against us. He seems to lose his respect for his brother too so we know he will do anything and anything!" exclaimed Captain Luke.

A young-blood came next to Luke with a message, "Luke! I've gotten an updated map of our surroundings."

He handed over an electronic Yautja device that looked like a laptop touch screen. The device had a map in it and a surveillance footage.

"The footage contains our surveillance video of how the xenomorph nest has been behaving lately and we were real surprised by what we saw too."

Luke looked at footage and saw xenomorphs turning on each. Xenomorphs were loyal creatures and never fought against their comrades which was really surprising. It looked like a civil war in the nest. Tu'Raii was surprised when she saw this. The nest had gone mad for no reason and...they did this because Tu'Raii was gone. A war because of her. She underestimated the Queen. The Queen was really a good hearted xenomorph and cared about Tu'Raii and Du'Haii. After the footage had finished playing Luke looked at his Yautja men carefully. They hadn't really obeyed orders to him. They were really stubborn and were ready rip his head off just because he was human. Luke knew this and was ready for mutiny.

He had experienced mutiny himself a few years ago in Eastern China on Operation Red Snake. Luke started to remember that time 15 years ago when he was just a low ranking officer. His men were harshly drunk when they were in base camp. They saw Luke as an enemy rather than an allie when he kept yelling in their ears of how stupid they were to get drunk this much.

15 Years Ago, Eastern China in Rebel Territory- 8:30 P.M.

Luke looked out from his tent for enemy movement. There didn't appear to be rebel forces for 123 feet. Beyond that was rebel mortars, ammunition bunkers, supply tents, rebel outposts, snipers, armed Rebels with Aks, grenades, and RPG-2 Series, and some machine turrets. This missions was gonna be difficult under these circumstances but Luke was confident his men were ready for this. Luke took out his journal and started writing about his first day in the mission:

Dear Journal,

January 7, 2143

We shipped off in the morning armed with the latest in weaponry. As a low ranking officer I was required only to be equipped with a pistol which kind of sucks. My friends in the U.S. write to me everyday. My friend Bobby opened a new business that sells cars and other pieces of shit. Micheal finally got an auto-graphed football from his favorite football player. Finally my wife is pregnant. Yeah thats right shes pregnant! I wish I could be back at home and help her when the baby arrives but I can't now. I miss them all a lot and I hope I live to come back home.

Well let me tell you more about my men. They are good people and good soldiers too. I'm in charge of 7 soldiers. 7 reasons to stay alive and 7 lives to keep alive. The first soldier is Jack Stenson. He's a real genius and he can beat me chess anytime. That guys a pro and since he is so freaking smart I'm letting him be squad leader. Then theres ,Drake Robertson, the tough guy from hell. He'd whoop your ass hard. That guy's an original tough guy. I had to get 7 people to restrain him from a fight. Also Drake's brother Josh. He's the exact opposite of Drake. He is a soft guy and hates fights but the one thing he is good at that Drake isn't so good at is getting all the ladies. Yeah Josh is a real lady's man. He'd charm anyone to be his date even if they're idealists and you know how hard it is to get an idealist to go with you.

Next is ,Kevin Suks-Machis, the Nazis son of a bitch. Well he's not really a Nazis but he's German though. Kevin is another genius like Jack except he uses his smarts for pranks and tricks. The guys a fucked up gambler and poker player. He'll rob you of everything you've got and you'll wish you never fucked with him. Pete Smith is the name of this hot head. The slickest guy in our squad. Pete has a talent for annoying you and cursing you out. This bitch had got to freaking stop shoving his little lectures of how he's better than us all over our faces but the guy can be nice once you get to know him a bit more. Next theres ,Jon Shu, the Chinese kung-fu master of our unit. He's an admirable fellow. The only guy that can beat up Drake. They have a little rivalry in here. It's like WWII with these two. Well in the end of this conflict we'll see which one becomes the victor.

Finally last but not least Mario Falcone. Now Mario's my favorite guy in the unit. He has the skills of a good soldier but he's always mysterious. I've heard stories about his tough life in Sicily, Italy always in fear of a local Mafia. The DeFraz family Mafia has a war with Mario's family the Falcone family. I don't understand all about the whole mafia life but Mario looks like he's been through a lot. He told me himself that one of the reasons he became a soldier in the U.S. Instead of Italy is because he wanted to get away from the Mafia war.

Now thats all 7 men of my unit. We haven't seen any action of fighting yet but I know they will each fight to the death and with dignity. There is just one thing that concerns me though. A few hours after we landed and prepared our threat Mario reported talks of mutiny within my squad. I don't know if this is a serious hazard but I just hope that things will remain cool for now.

Luke put down his journal and sighed. He was frustrated with the thought of his own men trying to kill and overthrow him. It had been a long day and he was starting to wish he had never entered this god forsaken war. Luke put a pistol against his head. Why? He thought Why am I the one to command these mutinists? Suddenly someone crashed through the door. It was Mario and he was badly beaten up and looked like a junkie from L.A. Luke dropped the pistol from his hand in shock.

"Mario, what the hell happened to you?" Luke asked him.

"Sir, the soldiers have gone mad. They want to kill you and rip your bones apart. They're all drunk mad too so nothing you say will stop them."

Luke started to think about the situation. This was not good but what could he do. Luke then looked at the pistol he dropped and popped an idea.

"Mario get a gun and start firing at their feet. Remember these guys are our allies thought they don't seem to show it so don't kill them but only injure them to prevent them from hurting us. Understood?"

"Yes sir!"

Mario took out his own pistol and went out into the forest where the soldiers were walking around drunk. He stayed down to avoid detection from the guys and he also went behind a tree. Mario breathed steadily and leaned his pistol to aim Pete. Trying to keep the pistol steady he put both hands on it and targeted the feet. Then before Mario could fire Luke came out of his tent with a fully automatic Torush. He spotted Pete and fired but instead of between the legs Luke made a killing shot. Pete's body collapsed dead on the ground. Mario looked at the corpse in horror. Luke had killed one of his own men. Mario faced Luke shocked and terrified. Then all of a sudden the rest of the drunk soldiers came out of the bushes with armed Torushes and fired at Luke. Luke jumped to the side and dodged the bullets behind the tree Mario was at.

"I thought you said to only aim for the legs?" ,asked Mario in a terrified tone, "I thought you didn't kill your own fucking kind?!"

Luke just stared at him with a blank look. He was sweating a bit and exhausted but was fully alert still. He put his hand on Mario's shoulder.

"Son, there are times when a soldier has to make some tough decisions. Especially know. When you are a bit closer to my age you might understand things better. I know I could've just shot him in the foot but I wanted to make a point to the other soldiers. Let me see...they should surrender in 1...2...3-"

"We surrender!" yelled a voice.

Luke and Mario got out of their cover and saw a familiar face, it was Jack Stenson with his Torush dropped. The mutiny had stopped and was over. Killing Pete was a really wise move although really cruel. Luke had hoped that doing that had taught them a somewhat lesson. They were all sent home but under charges of treason though. Luke was gonna get a new squad tomorrow to replace the other but Mario was going to stay. Mario was awarded the bravery medal for standing up to his mutinist squad members, the purple heart for his injuried, and the medal of honor for his outstanding performance in the battlefield after the war was over 2 months later.

Yautja Base Camp

Luke squatted down looking through the horizon. It had been 15 years since that incident. He wondered if his pal Mario was still alive at Earth and if so what was he doing. Luke couldn't imagine a sweet guy like Mario saying 'Say hello to my little friend!' to a group of rival mafia junkies. Luke laughed at the thought. He had then forgotten all about the fact that the Yautja he commanded also were wanting to kill him. A couple Yautja were sneaking up behind him with plasma rifles. Luke then heard one of the Yautja make a crunching noise when he stepped on a leaf. Luke then picked up his own plasma rifle. He then speedily looked behind and fired his plasma rifle at the Yautja behind him. The Yautja leaped back dead. The other Yautja coming for him fired but Luke dodged the plasma particles and blasted the Yautja into pieces by throwing a Yautja plasma grenade.

Luke looked around and the dead bodies and the Yautja he killed. This was almost the entire squad and only 3 were missing from the death list of Yautja. The 3 living Yautja saw the whole battle and now they had somewhat of a respect for him now. Luke faced them with serious eyes. The 3 Yautja went down on their knees and bowed to him in respect. Luke smiled for the first time since he had took command of these Yautja. He saluted to them showing his appreciation for what they showed and signaled them to follow them. It was a nice and warm day outside but they had better things to do than play a childish game no matter how fun it was.
