So keep posting reviews and check out my other stories okay. The winners will be announced on chapter 8. some people have been unhappy with Toms changes so I changed the story. Sorry if you guys were unsatisfied.
It had been at least 4 days since Tom had been brought to the hive and he had changed a lot. He had developed the ability to speak to the xenos and he had better night vision too and could even see in pitch black. He was looking outside through the hives entrance. Although he was allowed to look he wasn't allowed to leave. He felt the queen calling him in his mind that she needed him and he tried to resist but his body followed the queens order. As he entered he saw Sulasis at the foot of the queen. "Tom you are not yet proven in my eyes" he heard the Queens booming voice in his mind. He didn't know what that meant but he probably didn't want to find out. "Tom you will hep Sulasis with an attack on the intruders to our territory". A drone came in holding his pistol and his rifle. Tom quickly checked them over for damage and found himself surrounded by warriors with Sulasis in the lead. She warned him" if you try to escape I can overpower your body and control you until you follow commands willingly. Tom didn't want to experience that. He and the group left the hive and headed towards the road.
Phil was in the brig at the southern end of the base. During the weekly Base baseball game he had caught the commanders fly ball and that had pissed off his CO, The commander came over saying that was all he was good for because he couldn't even save his best friend. Phil had gotten so mad he had punched the man in the face hard enough to knock him unconscious and give him a broken nose. Even General Easthart had said that the man had gotten what he had coming to him. A man approached the cell and Phil recognized him as the general. "Hello Phil how you doing"? He was shocked why would a General even talk to a lowly Private. General Easthart followed with" I know you don't want to but I need you to show me the area where you were attacked. There's increased activity over there and it's making me nervous". Phil quickly shook his head yes. He wanted revenge for Tom and now there was a chance he could get it. "Also" Easthart added " I want you to be my personal bodyguard while we're there", He couldn't believe it, he was gonna be a generals bodyguard, Maybe his luck was finally turning good. Phil and Easthart quickly grabbed some marines and a APC and they headed north into the territory of the hive that Tom was in.
Tom saw the base in the distance. He was tempted to run to it but could feel Sulasis in his mind ready to take over him. He was standing over the entrance to the intruders lair and he did not want to go in. The entrance had webbing coming out of it and it was pitch black just a few feet in. He was in sight of the road and was listening to a vehicle coming up the gravel road. Just as he began to look back a drone pushed him in and the others followed.
Phil was looking out the APCs window when he could have sworn he saw Tom go into a hole in the ground. Phil couldn't be sure but he just saw Tom and he was okay. Phil promised that when he had the chance he would save him.
Tom had been in the tunnels for only a few minutes when his eyes adjusted to the dark, He saw a drone from the hive in front of him crawling on the wall. He turned the flashlight on his rifle on and took point behind the drone. They must have passed ten different bodies of civilians. When tom passed a skeleton wearing the same standard issue armor. Tom grabbed the double barrel 10 gauge pump shotgun the was on the floor near the corpse and took the spare shells from the skeleton." Sorry buddy but I need this more then you right now" he said to the skeletons grinning skull. Tom put up his rifle and shouldered the shotgun turning on the flashlight. He was a egg and was slowly moving around it when Sulasis relayed to his mind. "You do not need to fear becoming a host. Because of your changes the young one inside will register you as one of us". This made him sigh in relieve and now he could focus on staying alive. The group entered a chamber large enough to fit a queen. A screeching came from the roof and they looked up. A dozen drones came hurtling off the roof. Two of them landed on Sulasis and the 9 foot queen staggered. Tom ran to help her when two drones leaped at him. He tried to read their minds but just felt a hostile presence. The bigger one was tackled by a warrior from Sulasis's hive . The second one tried to stab him in the head with its smaller mouth. As soon as it shot out Tom dodged and as the drone pulled its mouth back he shoved one of the barrels of the shotgun into the drone mouth. Tom yelled"Eat this motherfucker" and pulled the trigger. Acidic blood splattered all over the opposing wall and the nearby combatants. Tom saw some on the bare skin of his hand but didn't feel his skin burning. He didn't think about it wiped of the blood and got back into the fight. He tackled one of the drones hanging onto Sulasis and began shooting it in the chest as fast as he could. Tom looked towards the small queen who looked back at him after finishing her other attacker.
