Ali felt the ship being locked into place and tightened her grip around the egg and braced herself as the landing gear lowered. She was going to have to hold still until the humans were killed by Aglaia; she didn't want to get shot at. She could hear Ripley thanking the android, Bishop, for saving them and Ali almost gagged. Suddenly, Ali heard Bishop cry out. She lowered her head slowly and peeked out to see a barbed tail protruding from Bishop's chest. Bishop cried out again as a white, milky substance poured out of the wound and his mouth.

Ali? Aglaia called out.

"I'm here, my Queen," Ali replied.

Good, stay where you are. No matter what happens.

Ali pulled herself back up into the landing gear and sighed. She knew that Aglaia could take care of the issue herself, but Ali couldn't help but worry.

Throughout the fight, Ali couldn't tell who had the upper hand. Ripley seemed to have gotten some robotic help because there was the constant sound of hydraulics. Suddenly, Ali could hear a huge door being opened and Aglaia screeched. Ali heard Ripley cry out and then a loud crash. She wanted to peek out and see what was going on but she didn't want to risk being seen, especially since she didn't know where Newt was. Suddenly, there was a siren and a strong gust of wind pulled objects across the ground; Ali was safe since she was still up in the landing gear. She heard Aglaia screeching and she couldn't take it any longer; she had to help her.

Ali! Stay where you are! Aglaia cried out, This plan must go smoothly.

What's going on? What's happening? Ali asked.

Aglaia didn't respond. Ali realized that her Queen's presence was getting weaker and weaker. The wind had stopped and there was strange calm over the area. Ali started hyperventilating; she had never been far enough from the Queen where she wasn't able to feel her presence.

"Aglaia?" Ali called out but there was no response.

Fury clouded Ali's vision for the second time. Her best friend was dead and now her Queen was gone as well. Ripley and her friends were going to pay for taking everything away. Ali made a promise to avenge her family.

The silence wore on but Ali remained frozen in her hiding spot. She wanted to make sure they were frozen and asleep for the return home before she made her move. Finally, she grew bored of waiting and jumped down to the ground, being careful to keep the egg from slamming into the ground. The Warrior followed her and landed gracefully.

The sleep chambers weren't that hard to find. She stared down at the four of them, their faces free of fear. Bishop was in a strange bag that was probably to keep him alive after his run-in with Aglaia. Next was Hicks, he was bandaged heavily on his chest and eye. Ali leaned closer and saw that he had been burned badly from an alien's blood. Ripley was in the next chamber after Hicks, she looked normal, all anxiety gone from her features. Last was Newt, her hair was brushed and clean and her face was also in a calm peace.

Ali smiled as she stared over them. She set the egg down on the ground and the Warrior did the same. It then turned and ran off; following the orders given to them by Aglaia. Ali went over to the controls from the sleep chamber and found that they weren't too hard to figure out. She pushed a button and the lid for the chamber next to Bishop opened up slowly. Ali then punched the appropriate buttons after that so she would have time to get settled in the sleep chamber before it started. She lay down slowly and closed her eyes. Just as she drifted off to sleep, her red lips pulled back into a smile.
