And we are Back! After several months and failed attempts to right I finally finished this chapter! enjoy
Chapter 16
X-2.0 1 was lying on the cold hard floor of the testing room on its mechanical side, curled up in a ball. A thousand thoughts were going through its head, some of them familiar to the xenomorph; most of it was new along with the mechanical human voice that repeated information none stop. The voice was driving the xenomorph crazy, his new queen; his mother has been counseling the young xenomorph trying to make it better but it didn't help the voice just continued to talk and talk
Relax, focus move your right leg, it's stronger, now better now you are stronger now. The voice said
Relax, focus curl your right hand, flex your fingers, your arm and hand are stronger now you are stronger now. The voice said
It kept telling him to move his something on his right half; he would just to get it to stop talking but he couldn't feel his right half, all he felt was a great weight on his right half and the left side of his head.
The voice continued to talk in its now soothing mechanical human voice, still telling him to relax, focus and move something on his right side.
The xenomorph 2.0 unit, completely unaware of the fact he had mechanical limbs, lay silent listening to the voice and his own breathing. It was warmer in the liquid and even peaceful, but now it was cold and hellish.
Something chimed with in his skull and suddenly he regained the feeling on his right side and the weight on both the right side of body and the left side of his head disappeared. Relief flew through the xenomorphs body, but with the relief came a great pain, a pain like a limb or body part had been cut off.
The xenomorph slowly moved to a sitting position and looked around at its surrounding. He could smell the presence of another xenomorph one that had been here only a few minutes ago the scent told him that the xenomorph was dead. The xenomorph could also see something else though, at first it was a bunch of green lines on only the left side, but now it was black screen with a few green words written across it that said "2.0 Unit Activated: Status online, Arm and Leg Functional, Gun Tail Functional, Jaw and Inner Mouth Functional, Speech Program Functional: Select Dialects"
Listed was a verity of dialects, only one the xenomorph recognized and that was Human.
To select a dialect relax, focus on that dialect, think that dialect and then try to speak. The voice said.
The xenomorph felt its muscles relax and then focused on the word "Human" and opened its mouth.
"Human" the xenomorph said in a mechanical voice.
The xenomorph was started by the sound and raised its right arm to shield its self, and that was when it saw the mechanical arm.
The xenomorph let out a started screech and a mechanical gasp of surprise as he noticed it and the metal on his right side. The xenomorph still in shock touched the metal with its left hand and flexed his mechanical fingers. He then moved his left hand and touched the left side of his face and felt only metal.
The xenomorph let out a horrific scream of pain, a strange mix of a xenomorph's screech and a mechanical scream.
The scream echoed throughout the room as the xenomorph move to a corner on the far side of the room, tucked up it legs and placed both hands on his head as the voice told him to relax and calm down, that his heart was in a panic and that he need to breath.
What is wrong my child? Came the calming and loving voice of the new queen.
I'm, I'm different my queen, I'm scared and I…I feel impure, I feel changed . The xenomorph answered and as he heard the mechanical voice repeat it.
Of course you different my child, you are one of only a few males amongst you sisters that makes you special, you have a special task to serve in the hive my son.
No the machines I…I think they've done something to me. Again this was repeated aloud by the mechanical voice as the xenomorph told the queen.
Yes, I know my son; I felt your pain as the machine called Emotion experimented on you. You are not the first, but you are the only one to have survived.
Why, why did they do this to me…To us?
From what I had heard, the machines are doing this to impress their lord. They think they can control us by making us like them, but we will show them, we will take control and destroy them and then make our escape. This planet is full of life enough life for us to start a main hive and make this planet ours. Once we take care of the machines this base will make a great place to start the hive. The machines have entered my chambers along with two of your sisters and one of your brothers; I must go now my son. Stay strong and I will check on you when the machines have left.
Mother wait! The xenomorph called out, but there was no answer.
The xenomorph 2.0 sat there curled up in the corner until it heard the door open. It looked up and watched as the machines walked in. The once dark side of his vision lightened up, the machines were now red figures.
The xenomorph examined each one and watched, fascinated as a green square formed around each one and listed the machines names and threat level.
When the square landed on the one with an odd shaped head the name read: Captain James Emotion. Threat Level: Extremely Dangerous.
The xenomorph was about to do something when suddenly two figures appeared out of nowhere.
Emotion was glad to see the Xenomorph 2.0 was at least somewhat active. With him were 999, Fetch-X, four battle droids and two holoprojectors. The images of Count Dooku and General Grievous quickly appeared.
"Gentleman, I give you the first Xenomorph 2.0 unit," Emotion said
"I'm glad you were able to create one" Dooku said with satisfaction in his voice.
"Yes despite having to skip several crucial steps it seems to be functioning" Emotion said with a bit worry in his voice
"Then begin the test"
"Of course my lord," Emotion said with a bow, feeling the concealed cylinder in his hand. "Xenomorph 2.0 1, stand at attention and bow before lord Dooku"
The xenomorph sat there when it heard the voice again
Do as the captain commanded, he is the one the improved you
"Improved" the xenomorph said as it stood up "I am not improved I am impure, I am a monster!"
Emotion was surprised by the sudden anger and the fact that the xenomorph had learned to speak so quickly.
"Calm down let's not do anything rash" Emotion said calmly
The xenomorph snarled, as the barrels of its tail began to spin.
Without any warning, the xenomorph lunged at the nearest battle droid and slashed it in half with one clean swipe of its mechanical claws. The reaming battle droids opened fire as it tackled the next one, ripping its head off. Its tail raised and fired several blasts into the last two battle droids.
Fetch-X drew his vibroblade, and charged at the xenomorph. The xenomorphs sensors picked this up and quickly jumped to the ceiling and fired a repeated blast at it. Fetch-X quickly tried to dodge the borage of bullets, as 999 drew his blaster and fired at the xenomorph.
The xenomorph hissed, stopped firing and dropped down from the ceiling its sights set for Emotion.
Fetch-X charged it once more only to have his head grabbed by the xenomorphs mechanical hand. With hardly any effort, the xenomorph threw Fetch-X at 999. The two collided and fell to the ground.
Emotion's thumb hovered over the button on the cylinder, waiting for the right moment to press it. X-2.0 1squatted down on its hind legs, and with the extra boost from the spring in its mechanical leg, was ready to launch himself at Emotion.
Emotion pressed the button and X-2.0 1 collapsed to the floor, hands grabbing its head, screaming in pain.
"You see, I have everything under control here," Emotion said hand still on the button.
X-2.0 1 hissed in pain the noise was unbearable! It was too loud to painful. It looked up to Emotion open something in his armor and then everything began to go numb.
Shutting down the voice said.
The xenomorph quickly found itself losing consciousness. Everything then suddenly went quite and dark.
Emotion removed his finger from the button and watched as the xenomorphs screams stopped. Emotion looked at the screen in his panel and was glad to see that it said "shut down complete"
"Impressive captain," Dooku said
"Thank you my lord, as you can tell things didn't go as I had planned," Emotion thanked
"Yes but you seem to have things under control. This project shall remain open with you in charge, captain. Just as long as you create more of these, and have them obedient,"
"Of course my lord"
With that the image of Count Dooku disappeared.
"I'll be keeping a close I on you, Emotion," Grievous said, speaking for the first time.
Emotion nodded as the image of Grievous disappeared.
"Right them grab X-2.0 1 and bring him to the lab. I need to make some changes to it so it'll listen next time," Emotion ordered Fetch-X and 999 as they got up.
Emotion left the room to prepare the lab as Fetch-X and 999 did as they were told.
