Chapter 8

As Green Hand began his work on Lex anther being is admiring his work on a distant plant in Hard Meat hive. This being is the PedAlien that burst form the dead body of Scar and escape from the Star Cutters Clan ship a year ago. He now stand at towering 9'8 and 367lbc his skin is a black as the hive walls his yautja like dreads flow down his long comb head as he look on the rows of Drones Hard Meat working at a bee-hive speed carrying unconscious humanoid beings form the ship that he use to escape form the Star Cutters Clan. Now he used it to being back hosts form other worlds. A voice inside his mind is calling to him from deep with in the Hive. That voices is the young Queen of this Hive and also his mate. He quick made his way to the Queen chamber in the center of the Hive only to be stop by to 2 Guarding that are posted at the enter of her chamber but when saw how it was they lower their comb heads and slow parted away let him enter. Once in the chamber he fall to one kneed saying telepathy.

PedAlien: (air like voice): you call me? My Queen.

Young Queen: (the same voice): yes, Double Mouth it is time for us go free my mother form her prison and get our vengeance on those who had imprison her.

Double Mouth: yes, we will my Queen but we must be careful our enemies may not have our numbers that we have but they do have weapons very deadly to our kind.

Young Queen: yes, I know all to well.

The young Queen couldn't help to think back to that ill fateful day. When a Queen hunting party came to the Hive. The Drones and Warriors was now match form the heavy arm yautja they released some devices that make a terrible sound that echo through the Hive wall causing the Drones and Warriors to roll in pain and letting them go unchallenged through the Hive which they quick may their way to the chamber wear she watch as the invaders put her mother and her egg shackrelled in chains before one of the invaders try to catch her but she run deep with in the hive only come out when they have gone leaving her to care for the now queen-less Hive. It took many years after that day for her to grow up to the size needed for her to lay eggs and even then she only was able to lay a small number of them because their wasn't enough food and hosts for to do so.

So without much of a choice she order the Hive to go into hibernate sleep in order to save them form slowed starving to death they stay in that deep sleep till her king come to the Hive. Now her Hive is alive and growing thanks to the one she had name Double Mouth because of his mandible jaw and inner mouth. Thanks to him and his ship she now have the hosts and food she needed for her and her eggs. Soon her and her king will lave the Hive together in order to free her mother and kill anyone that dared to stop them.

As they prepared to mark their journey Green Hand have been working carefully on Lex DNA mixing for a week now. Doing his last scanning of her before he wake her form her week long sleep as he was about to do so when Gray Knife, Cold Blade, BlackHeart, Dark Fire and all the unbloodeds come in the Med-Lab.

Green Hand (bowing his head): Elder, what's is this all about?

Gray Knife: the young ones wanted to be here when Alexis is awoke form her sleep that all Green Hand.

Green Hand just nod his head before returning to the task of waking up Lex. Once her tank was drained and laying sideways he open it and careful remove her air mask. It wasn't too long for Lex to open her brown eyes to warm sight of her yautja friends. After helping Lex out the healing tube Green Hand handed her WristBlades, Bootsandles, Wire-Mass and translator collar before asking her.

Green Hand: Alexis how do you feel?

Lex: wonderful that was the best sleep I ever had.

Green Hand (smiling a litter): well that's good to know Alexis. But is there anything that you can tell that seems different or strange now?

Lex (rubbing her arms and legs): well my bones and muscles don't hurt anymore other then that Green Hand no. But I do feel much better now.

Green Hand (looking puzzler): Mmm. I see Alexis to be on the safe side I don't want one to do any training for a day or two.

With that Green Hand give Lex anther head nod before leaving her with the others.

Gray Knife: Alexis it good to see you are better now. Cold Blade and me were quite worried about you.

Lex (lowing her head down): I'm sorry Elder I didn't mine to worry everyone.

Gray Knife just lift Lex head up by her chin and letting out small checker before guiding Lex over to her welcome back party. As Dicer walk over to her she notice that he was holding something the in his right hand.

Dicer (bowing his head to her): Alexis it is good to see that you are well.

Lex: thank you Dicer but what is that you are holding?

Dicer (give her 2 small skull): oh, this is for you.

Lex (puzzler look): what is this for Dicer?

Stone Hand: for the sparing Matches that you win over Cold Blade "blooded one".

Lexes look at the small animal skulls and decide that she will make a necklace of them when she gets back to her room. Once everyone have seen that Lex was back in good health. They all side their goodbyes and made their way out of Med-Lab. Only Cold Blade stay with Lex to escort back to her quarter.

On the way to Lex quarter Cold Blade told her that Hammer Fist Have finish studying her weapons and that he have be worry about her every since he hear about her week long sleep. So with that Cold Blade and Lex stop by Hammer Fist shop as they enter the shop Hammer Fist was cleaning a Glaive but stop as he look up to see who have came in.

Hammer Fist: Alexis, Cold Blade it's so good to see you my friends.

He said as he rise form his bone chair to greed them.

Hammer Fist (standing near them): so Alexis are you well now?

Lex (smiling): yes, Hammer Fist I'm better now.

Hammer Fist: that's good to hear Alexis now if you would excuse me I'll be back with your weapons.

With that Hammer Fist turn around and headed toward the back of his shop only coming back 5 minutes later with Lex weapons bag, arrow case and bow. Hammer Fist give the heavy beg to Cold Blade to hold while Lex took her bow and arrow cases. Lex and Cold Blade was about head out of Hammer Fist shop when he stop them and said that he have something to show them before they go to Lex quarter. He quick made his way over to his work-desk and pullout some weapons and walk back over to Lex and Cold Blade.

Lex: Hammer Fist what do you have there?

Hammer Fist: (showing the weapons to her): oh something that I made for you.

Cold Blade (crossing his arms over his chest): and there are?

Hammer Fist told them that after he had finish studying all of Lex Ooman weapons. He decide to make yautja versions of his favorite Lex Bass Knuckles and Hunting Bow

Lex: can I try them out Hammer Fist?

Hammer Fist (hold them out): by all mine go right ahead Alexis.

Lex try on her yautja Knuckles first once she slide them on her hands she notices the red button on the index finger knuckle on them but decide to ask Hammer Fist about that later. Like her other yautja weapons they was smaller then normal yautja weapons.

Lex (pointing at one of the red buttons): Hammer Fist what is this red button is for?

Hammer Fist: Oh something I add it Alexis.

Lex just decide press it fine out for herself once she did 8inc spikes shoot out the top of each Knuckles.

Cold Blade (looking at Lex hands): nice upgrade.

Lex (looking at her hands): you say it Cold Blade.

Hammer Fist: you like it Alexis?

Lex: like it I love it Hammer Fist, but don't you think that this upgrade a litter overkill?

Hammer Fist (laughing a litter): there is no such thing as "overkill" on the hunting grounds only honorable and dishonorable kills.

Lex just smiles at the mask Weapon-smith before she turn her attention to her yautja bow that Hammer Fist had made for her as well. Lex took off her yautja Knuckles and handed them to Cold Blade before pick up the bow.

Lex (looking over it): this is beautiful Hammer but I already have a bow.

Hammer Fist (hold his hand out): yes, Alexis I know but this one is far stronger and easily to carry if let me show you.

So with that Lex handed him her yautja bow to him. As she and Cold Blade look on Hammer Fist show them that just like her CombiStick it closed up by pressing two buttons on the handler. Lex and Cold Blade was very impress with Hammer Fist skills even more so when he show them her new arrow case and arrow heads that a made of yautja steel.

Lex: what about my exploding arrows?

Hammer Fist (with annoyance in his voices): I didn't upgrade those they are just fine as they are as much I hate to say.

Lex just gigglers at Hammer Fist before thanking him for all he had done and ask him can she do anything to help him.

Hammer Fist: Mmm maybe.

Lex: how about this Hammer Fist. Since I can't train with Elder Gray Knife for a while I come here and help you instead.

Hammer Fist thought about Lex offer and agreed but only she get Green Hand o.k. to do so. With that said Hammer Fist pack her new weapons in net beg and handed the to Lex while Cold Blade pick up her weapon beg and headed out of the shop. Once in Lex quarters she quick head over to weapons/trophy wall to put up her new toys while Cold Blade carry her weapon beg to her bedroom. As Lex had just finish putting up them up. She found her lesson keypads from her last lesson on her living room table right then Cold Blade came back into the room.

Cold Blade (holding it up): Locksoo, will it be all right for me to this to read?

Lex turn around to see what he is asking for as a smile came across her face when she saw that it was the Odyssey book that she brought with her.

Lex (holding her keypads): yes, Cold Blade you can take it.

Cold Blade (bowing his head to her): thank you, Locksoo I'll bring it back as I'm done reading it.

Cold Blade notices Lex holding some keypads and ask.

Cold Blade: those are keypads are form you last lesson with mother Locksoo?

Lex: yes they are.

Cold Blade: may I ask what was your lesson was curter lesson was about?

Lex: mating and the rules of mates.

Cold Blade: Oh.

Lex: Now I have a question for you Cold Blade?

Cold Blade: and that may be?

Lex: well I already know mating from the female side of things. What I like to know is the male side of it is like?

Cold Blade: very well then Locksoo, I will tell you.

Cold Blade expand to Lex that males have to prove themselves first by completed

Training hunts and then the blooded tail once they have done this any male can freely approach any female he wished to mate with. But unlike females males do not share their females with any male. If any male want their mate or mates they will have fight to the death for them.

Lex (eyes wide): Cold Blade why they don't come to agreement like female do? To me that is much easy then killing each other.

Cold Blade: because Locksoo for us males each female that we have is a treasure that is protected at all cost.

Lex: sound like you have done that before having you Cold Blade?

Cold Blade: yes, Locksoo many times for my mate Shadow Rose.

Lex (surprise in her voice): Oh, is she here on the ship or on home planted?

Cold Blade (with a sad voice): no. She dies on a hunt 2 earth years ago on my home word.

Lex (her head down a litter): I'm sorry Cold Blade I didn't mine to bring back any bad memories.

Cold Blade: no. Not bad memories just good ones. Locksoo do you have a mate or mates back on earth?

Lex couldn't help but to giggle a litter as she told Cold Blade that was the same question that his mother and sister ask a week ago. Never the less Lex told him what she told them. Lex was very surprise When Cold Blade being to ask her question about human pairing then mating. Lex answer Cold Blade questions for about an hour before he thank her for her time before he lift out. Laving her to studies which she did just that for about hour or two. Before she decided it's time to make a necklace out of the 2 small skulls that Dicer give to her for wining 2 Jehdin-Jehdin over Cold Blade. It took some time but Lex managed too ties the skulls together with some wire rope for her Powerpack. Please with her new jewelry she walk out her living room and headed toward her bathroom mirror for a quick look.

Lex was quite proud of herself as she look at the reflection of new necklace ever if it's a litter morbid to wearing skulls as jewelry but this is the way of the yautja and beside all of her yautja friends have them why not her. Lex retune to living room to do some more studies when she felt hungry pains knowing that she have hadn't eating anything for a week she was surprise that take so long for to get hungry so she quick made her way to the kitchen.

After she had a big meal Lex decided its time for a good night rest. So putting her dishes in her dishwasher before headed to her bedroom. Once their Lex took off her WristBlades, necklace and translator collar and change into her night clothes before hoping into her bed letting out a small more of delight as she rested her head on one of her giant pillows. But something was wrong because no matter where Lex places herself she couldn't go to sleep. Right then she realizes that the times she fall dead to sleep is when she had spent most of the day training hard with Gray Knife and Cold Blade. So Lex sat up for a moment to think what to do.

Lex (thinking): Well, I could all ways take a hot shower that might work.

So with that Lex got up and out her bed and headed toward her bathroom only to come out a hour later with a red silk like towel warp around her and head. Holding her wire-mass and loincloth in one hand and her bootsandles in the other Lex dry herself off before sitting on the edge of her bed to dry her hair. Once that was done Lex just place her dirty clothes and towels in her dirty clothesbasket before hoping back into her bed again. Normality Lex would never sleep in the nude unless she just had make love with her boyfriend at the time but tonight she just wanted to see how the alien skin fur covers feel without her night clothe on. As she feel that sleep was about to take its hold on her a funny thought come to her.

Lex (thinking): I wonder do Cold Blade sleep in the nude?

The next morning Lex woke up feeling a litter differ then the other night but Lex just thought she was sill a litter sleepy that all. But as she got up and being to get dress for the day when she notices that her arms are bigger then they were last night and her fingernails grow very long almost claw like and when to light pink to black so Lex quickly finishing dressing and ran to her bathroom mirror to see what else have change. As Lex saw her reflective she was shock to that her light brown eyes turn to a dark yellow giving her a demoniac and yet exotic look. As she look for more changes yes indeed her arms, legs and her upper body are bigger but not in size but in muscle and hair is much long now stop at the edge of her backside and there was something else. The air was thin to her like when she was clamber on a high mounting. Right then Lex remember what Gray Knife and Green Hand have warning her about the unknown side effect

Lex (thinking): Well, at less I didn't grow mandibles.

She thought before leaving her bathroom and headed toward her room control panel in order to call Green Hand to see can he stop by to do a check up and also see can she get his ok to help out Hammer Fist at his shop for today. Lex was relieve to see that Green Hand was in the Med-Lab. She told what had happen and ask him can he stop by of course he said yes and that he would be over their shortly before turning off his view screen.

Lex decided she will wait for Green Hand to come by she might as well fix herself some to eat. Lex had just finished cooking her breakfast when her door bell ring.

Lex (sitting in dinner table eating): come in.

As Green Hand enters Lex quarters he quickly notices that Lex heat signature have change form Ooman to something else that didn't expect to see. Lex stop eating and got up form the table welcome him.

Lex: thank you for come by Green Hand.

Green Hand (with a black beg hanging over his shoulder): no need to thank me Alexis just doing my duty that's all. Now let's see what is happening to you.

He suggests that they go in the living room in order to do his scan. She did as he asks and Green Hand reach into his beg and pull out a black orb with red line around the middle and red a button at the top. Green Hand press it to the amazement of her it floated out his hand slow made it's way to her only stopping a few inch in forth of her before it letting out a red light which it slow made up & down and round her before floated back to Green Hand awaiting hand. Which he placed it on Lex living room and press the button on the top and a red 3-D picture of Lex came form the top Green Hand study the spinning picture of Lex form a time before saying.

Green Hand (sill looking at the picture): by the gods.

Lex: what? Is there something wrongs?

Green Hand: no. But this not what I was expect to see Alexis.

Lex: what do you mined by that?

Green Hand told her that her muscle and nervous system is now of that of a yautja female but in Ooman from.

Lex: sound like to me that the DNA mix's work.

Green Hand: yes, indeed Alexis tell me besides the physical changes is their anything else that you have done that would yesterday normal wouldn't do.

Lex: well, other then I ate more then user and I didn't get sleepy till very late last night. But why you ask Green Hand?

Green Hand: (pointed at the 3D picture or her): because your scan shows that you also have some of our psychology mostly our primal habits.

Lex (looking down a litter): well, there is just one more then that I wouldn't have done before.

Green Hand (looking at her): and that is?

Lex (looking down a litter): well, last night I slept nude.

Lex couldn't believe she just told him that but Green Hand just waver her embarrassment off and told her that all yautja sleep nude it just more comfortable that way.

Lex: Oh. Green Hand can I have your ok to help Hammer Fist in his shop today?

Green Hand took a quick look at Lex 3D picture again before turning back to her and said.

Green Hand: yes, you may go but I want you very careful and when you are done with Hammer Fist and Eldress class today came to see me in Med-Lab there are some more tests I like to run on you.

Lex: yes, I will be there Green Hand.

Green Hand give a head bow before turning to pick up his Med-Orb and being to make his way to Lex door when he felt Lex gape his arm.

Lex (holding her his arm): there is just one more thing I need to tell you to look at before you go.

Green Hand (turning to face her): yes, what is wrong Alexis?

Lex told him about her notices how thin the air was to her this morning.

Green Hand must have know this might as simple reach into his beg and pull out a strange looking mask.

Green Hand (holding it out): here take this and press firmly to your face and take a deep breath.

Lex took the mask and press it to her face although the mask was clear was made to be use by a yautja it work the same for Lex. As she took a number of deep breaths she was very taken back with the fresh air was giving to her. Before Lex handed it back to him.

Green Hand (taken the mask back): feeling better now Alexis?

Lex (smiling): yes. But why is the air so thin to me now?

Green Hand: it seems that not only you gain our muscle but our lungs as well

Lex: huh?

Green Hand expand to Lex that yautja and humans do breath the same air but yautja need other gas mix in as well.

Lex (looking sad): oh, so now I have breath yautja air for now.

Green Hand: yes, but don't worry Alexis soon you will be able to breath both. Is their anything else Alexis?

Lex: no. That's everything Green Hand and thanks you.

Green Hand: your welcome.

With anther head bow he was out the door Lex high ever walk over to her room control panel change the air to human to yautja it took 2 min or so for Lex notice the change. Once that was done Lex made her way out the door and headed for Hammer Fist shop.

Once she found the clan Weaponsmith, putting new Glaive on his wall display.

Hammer Fist (turning around and giving her a head bow): good morning, Alexis.

Lex (bowing her head to him): good morning, Hammer Fist. So what I can do to help you today?

Hammer Fist (walking over to his worktable): noting right now. But would like to talk with you and ask some question for litter wail that if you don't mind that is?

Lex (smiling): sure Hammer Fist what do you want to know?

Hammer Fist ask about the night she become blooded and about her training with Elder Gray Knife and Cold Blade.

Lex (sitting in a bone chair across from Hammer Fist): I'm also been reserving lessoning form Eldress Black Heart and Dark Fire.

Hammer Fist (with surprise in his voices): Oh and what have you have you leaded form them?

Lex: A litter of your history for now, the cast system, the gods and goddess, the rules of the hunt, and how to speak a litter yautja as well.

Hammer Fist: I see. Any subject that you are having trouble on?

Lex: well just one thing. I'm sill a litter confuse on the multiple mates thing tell me Hammer Fist have many mate or mates do you have?

Hammer Fist: I have 8 mates Alexis.

Lex: 8! Are they all on the ship?

Hammer Fist (in sad voices): no. All of them are on Home World.

Lex: So they all get along or do you have to play referee when you get home?

Hammer Fist burst into a deep laughter before telling Lex when males like him that has more then two or more mates. His first Mate or his most dominant female will have the right to get pleasing first and then his sec and so on.

Lex (with a smile on her face):Oh I see now. Have ever try all them at the same time?

Hammer Fist (rubbing the chin part of his mask): Mmm No. But that's not a bad idea ever if it's a litter danger to try.

Lex: I know what you mine Hammer Fist. Eldress Black Heart show me a video of a young yautja coupler mating.

Hammer Fist (laughing a litter): I can imager that was eye opening for you.

Lex: yes, very eye opening

Lex asks Hammer Fist more questions about his mates before asking about his duty as a Weaponsmith for the clan. To her surprise Hammer Fist makes and repair all the weapons, armor and mask for the entire clan all by himself.

Lex: don't you have apprentice to help you?

Hammer Fist: no. But there are times Alexis that I pay to the gods for one.

Lex: I can understand why Hammer Fist. But tell me why did you became the clan Weaponsmith knowing that you will have do all the work with out any help?

Hammer Fist expand to her that his family have been Weaponsmith for the Black Claw Clan ever since the clan was form. The duty and honor of been the clan Weaponsmith have been pass down too father to elder child. So when his father die 8 earth years ago it was his duty to take his father place as the clan new Weaponsmith.

Lex (in a sad voice): so you are continuing on with the family business.

Hammer Fist: yes.

Lex look around Hammer Fist shop for a moment before looking back at him and said.

Lex: form what I have seen you made for me and the clan I think your father would have been very proud of you.

Hammer Fist: I like to think so too Alexis. Now is there anything thing else you like to know Alexis?

Lex couldn't help but to smile at Hammer Fist knowing that the Weaponsmith wanted to change the mood of the moment for the better.

Lex: yes, there is one thing DarkFire told me that each yautja get a set of weapons depending on what rank they hold?

Hammer Fist: yes, that is correct.

Lex: well, do you have a keypad with a list on it? I like to see what the other ranks have that I don't have yet.

Hammer Fist (reaching into his work-desk pulling out a keypad and handed it to her): Ha! I see that you are very cockle one I give you that.

He said before getting out of his bone chair and slow walking to the back of he's shop Lex follow close as enter the back room. Lex was surprise to see that the back of Hammer Fist shop is actually a small workroom/living quarters it was fuller with all kinds of machines Lex guess to help him make all the weapons, Mask, and armor for the clan.

Lex: your shop is also your quarters?

Hammer Fist: why yes. But that's not what I wanted to show you this is.

He said right before walk over to a wall and press a button by the side of it to revive a beautiful display case of weapons.

Lex: Oh my god.

That all Lex could say, as she looks a pond a set of beautiful crafted weapons.

Lex (in a light voices): Hammer Fist what rank of yautja get these weapons Elders?

Hammer Fist (laughing a litter): no. Alexis these are the clan Honor weapons.

Lex: oh.

As Lex take anther look Hammer Fist begin tell what is the names for weapon and what trial that you have to do to get them.

Hammer Fist (pointing at it): the sword of Paya is giving to those who have kill a very lager prey.

Lex: like a hard meat queen?

Hammer Fist: yes.

Lex: and what are the names of the daggers?

Hammer Fist (pointing to them one a time): the one the right is the dagger of Thwei that one is giving those who have completed the blooded trial without spilling any of their blood. And the other one is the dagger of Cetanu that is giving to those who have kill 9 or more Hard Meats in a hunt.

Lex: only 9? But Hammer Fist I saw Scar take out 5 of them with his PlasmaCaster.

Hammer Fist: that just it Alexis to earn this weapon you have to kill them without using your PlasmaCaster.

Lex: Oh my. I'm assuming that you don't be handing out too many of these Honor weapons. Do you Hammer Fist?

Hammer Fist: your assumption is right Alexis but today I do.

Lex: what do you mine by that?

Hammer Fist didn't answer Lex question he simply took out the sword of Paya and the dagger of Thwei and handed them to Lex and said.

Hammer Fist: these are now yours Alexis.

Lex (handed out to him): Oh no. Hammer Fist I haven't done anything in order to receive them yet.

Hammer Fist (soft pushing them back to her): yes, you have Alexis. Did you spill any of your blood when you were in the trail temple?

Lex: No.

Hammer Fist: did you kill a Head Meat Queen?

Lex: yes. But I didn't bring its head back.

Hammer Fist: yes, that is true but you did kill it and that what matter.

Lex just smiled and nodded her head in understandment before look at her 2 new weapons. Her dagger was in case in a Red diamonds incase sheath. As Lex pulls the red and gold blade form it's sheath it was made like her ceremonial dagger but instead of Hard Meat bone it was yautja steel. Lex looked at the blade for a time before return it to its sheath. Next was sword like her dagger it was jewel incased sheath but instead of red diamond they were black. Like before Lex pull the blade out of its sheath but unlike her dagger the blade was black and the edge was like a chainsaw and the rest was gold. Full with joy as she put her sword back into its sheath and turn to Hammer Fist and said.

Lex: thank you, Hammer Fist.

Hammer Fist: your welcome, Alexis

Once Hammer Fist close the display they headed back to forth of the shop. As they sat back down in their bone chairs Hammer Fist ask.

Hammer Fist: Alexis what were those questions you have for me?

Lex: yes, why don't I have a set of Ritual Armor?

Hammer Fist (laughing): because you haven't bought me any trophy for me to make it out of it or decorated with.

Lex: oh, well have any other Weaponsmith have every try to make armor out of Hard Meat skin?

Hammer Fist: yes, many have try all have fail.

Lex: all of them but why?

Hammer Fist: form what my fellow Weapomsmiths have told me have told me that Hard Meat skin would make exclusive armor but the trouble is that the hunters and warriors only been able to begin back bits and pieces Hard Meats which they try use for armor but it didn't work out like they plan.

Lex: oh I see. Now so many whole Hard Meats do you think it will take to make my armor Hammer Fist?

Hammer Fist: Mmm. 2 of them would do. But Alexis you don't think that I will secede were some of the best Weaponsmith of all the clans had fail.

Lex: as long I been able to bring back the Hard Meats you need yes. You did make my mask, weapons and armor?

Hammer Fist: yes but.

Lex: well then I have completed fate in you and your ability to make this for me.

Hammer Fist (smiling under his mask): very well then I will do best to make your new armor. Now is there anymore question Alexis?

Lex: yes, can you tell or show what is a Naginata and Maul?

Hammer Fist (pointing at a maul): well a Naginata is just anther word for Glaive Alexis. As for the Maul there one is on the left side of you.

As Lex turn to her lift to see that a bladed nightstick a smile come across her face as she thought of Mike and Leona would like this weapon very much. As she turn back to face Hammer Fist he was putting some oil on his yautja steel hand which Lex thought of anther question.

Lex (looking at his hand): Hammer Fist how do you loss your hand?

Hammer Fist stop he's oiling of hand and look at for a time before saying.

Hammer Fist: I loss it doing my blooded trail I was fighting with a Hard Meat and get my hand take right off before I made the kill. When retune home our healer offer to grow me anther hand. But my father told him that he could make me a better hand then one he was offing. And sure enough he did just that much to the surprise and anger to the Healer. I wise you would have been their to seen the look on his face Alexis when father show him my new hand and the rest is history.

Lex (point at his hand): I'm guessing that your father had a lot of orders for that hand of yours.

Hammer Fist: yes, many but father refuse them all. He told them that this was gift form father to son.

Lex: and they take it as that?

Hammer Fist: yes, Alexis once my father made his mine about something not even the gods can change his mine. Lex how would you like to learn how to make a CombiStick?

Lex: I would like very much.

So with that Hammer Fist and Lex headed back to the back of his shop and for rest of that morning Lex learn how to make that and as well a Glaive and WristBlades as well.

As the time come near for her to go to Eldress class but before she go Hammer Fist stop and show her a small black and sliver box and yautja Combat Knife.

Lex: what is this for? Hammer Fist

Hammer Fist (opening it): this is your clean/repair kit for your weapons and a stander Combat Knife for you Alexis.

As the box top slide open a small but powerful light come on showing Lex all the different tools and bottles that's was inside.

Lex (take it and close it): thank you I make sure I'll make good use of it and the knife too.

Hammer Fist: your welcome and have a good class today Alexis.

And with a head nod bow he turning around and making walking over to his work desk. As she walk out the shop. Not wanting to carry her new items around with her. So Lex made a quick stop to her quarters before going to BlackHeart and Gray Knife quarters for her class. Once their Lex was shock to see.

Lex (thinking): Gray Knife what he doing here?

She thought as she walk in their dinning room and found him sitting beside Black Heart and Dark Fire.

Black Heart: Ah! their you are Alexis. Is their something wrong?

Lex: no. Eldress but why is Elder Gray Knife here is there something wrong?

Gray Knife: no. Alexis noting is wrong I'm here to suggest of Black Heart here if I can't train you physical might as well try my hand training you mental.

Lex simile and give his a head bow before sitting down to have lunch. As they was eating Lex can see now were Cold Blade, Scar, and Dark Fire got their looks form Cold Blade is a mix between Gray Knife and Black Heart and Scar his Father and Dark Fire of curse their Mother.

Once everyone had their full they all walk to the classroom. When everyone had taking a sit Black Heart being the class.

Black Heart: Alexis I think its time for know the Clan allies and enemies.

Lex: ok.

BlackHeart explain to Lex the Clan have 2 allies the first is their sister Clan. The Dark Blade Clan the largest and the most powerful of all the yautja Clans and the other is the Star Cuter Clan a mid-size Clan with reputation of being skill in the art of tacking.

Lex: and our enemies Eldress?

BlackHeart (with hatred in her voices): The Shadow Spear Clan and their sister Clan The Ghost Walker Clan. They also have alliance and friendship with The Blood Skulls Clan as well.

Lex: why are they our enemies Eldress?

Black Heart careful explained to Lex their have been blood enemies every since The Great Clans war. The Shadow Spear and their allies have spill the blood of far to many of the Clan brothers, sister and friends to be Ever be forgiving.

Black Heart (showing their Clan symbol on the view orb): even now the Shadow Spears and their allies attack us on our lands on home world. Alexis if you see any yautja with any of these symbols on them. I want you to extremely careful around them if they have chance to kill you they will. Do you understand me?

Lex: yes, Eldress I understand.

Black Heart: good, now do you have any question Alexis?

Lex: yes, Eldress I do. How many clans are they and do all of them want to kill us?

Right then Black Heart, Gray Knife and Dark Fire bust into a deep laughter for a shot time before Black Heart said.

BlackHeart (sill laughing): there are over 100 different Clans on Home world and across our galaxy. And no Alexis all of them don't wise to end us just the Shadow Spears and their allies.

Lex: that good to know Eldress. But why do the Shadow Spears hate the clan so much beside what happen between you and them in the war?

Dark Fire: only one word came to my mine they are Jealous of us.

Lex: jealous but why?

Gray Knife: What Dark Fire is saying that the reason why the Shadow Spears have so much hated and Jealousy of us since the Great Clans war have ended. We and the others lager Clans have grown great and they haven't grow much at all since then.

Lex: Man. That is a long time but what holding them back Elder?

Black Heart: A great deal of things Alexis but the one that make my blood boil is that they sill in slave of they own Clan members.

Lex: what?

Gray Knife: yes, Alexis the Shadow Spears and many other of the smaller Clans sill believe and practice the old ways. "To in slave the weak and dishonor is the way of the hunter" is one of them. But we, the Dark Blades and the other lager Clans abandon the old ways long ago.

Lex: so what made you and the others give up the old ways?

Black Heart: time, growth, and great wisdom. Alexis

Lex: and that wisdom is?

Gray Knife: that not every yautja is going to be a great hunter or warrior but that dose not mine that isn't a placed form in their Clan.

Black Heart: yes, in did my love. You see Alexis in order for a Clan to fully work you will need Weapomsmiths, Healers, Builders, Caretakers, Weavers and many more then just hunters and warriors.

Lex: so since the Shadow Spears and other smaller Clans push their members to be only hunters and warriors they don't have many of the other parts that a Clan need to grow.

Black Heart: yes, now that the end of my lesson for today. Are their any more questions you like to ask Alexis?

Lex: no. Eldress

Black Heart (turning to her): well then, Dark Fire it's your turn.

Dark Fire (bowing her head to her before turning to Lex): thank you mother. Well today Alexis I be showing you what our home world look like and tell some things about it.

Lex: ok.

Dark Fire handed Lex a keypad before turn on the viewing orb. A red 3-D picture of a Jupiter size planted appeared. Lex listing as Dark Fire told her that the name of the yautja home world is Paya in honor of the God of warriors. Paya is home to 90 of the yautja population across 6 massive jungle cover continents. The other 10 is on colonial plants or on their clan ships in space. Paya also have 2 sun and moon making their days and nights much longer the Earth the other things that Paya and Earth have incoming that they both have wild and ocean life but Paya animals are far bigger, stronger, faster and more vicious then any animals on Earth.

Dark Fire (turn off the view orb): will that's everything Alexis. Do you have any questions?

Lex: no. I'm good Dark Fire.

Dark Fire (turning to Gray Knife and giving him a head bow): all right then, father it's your turn then.

Gray Knife (turning form Dark Fire to Lex): thank you, Dark Fire. Alexis my lesson for you today is all about the different types of Hard Meats.

Lex (shock look): there are more then one?

Gray Knife: yes, Alexis and each one is deader then the next as you will see here.

Gray Knife turn on the view orb and this time a 3-D picture of a Hard Meat egg.

Gray Knife (the 3-D picture change as he talk): all Hard Meat starts life as egg lay by a queen. Form that a FaceHugger or NoFace as we sometime call them. Their job is to implant a Hard Meat embryo into a host. Once on a host is slide a tube down the host trough were the embryo is implant in the cast at the same time releasing a drug in the bloodstream that ease all memory of the horrible event.

Lex (thinking): so that why Scar did know he had one of them inside him.

Gray Knife: the next stage in the Hard Meat life cycles is the ChestBurster which is really a baby Hard Meat bursting form the host chest and form that it take only a hour or 2 to grow to adult size.

Lex (thinking): only 2 hours!

Gray Knife can see in her new change yellow eyes that bit of info was very surprising to her but he continued on with his lesson.

Gray Knife: in it's adult form Hard Meats can change into 2 ever more deadly form.

Lex: what! That can't be true or is it Elder?

Gray Knife: yes, Alexis it is true. The ones that you and Scar face in battler are call Drone Hard Meats. Their place in the Hive Order is to take care of the Hive it shelf as well fine food, host and define the Hive with their lives. The second Hard Meat form are Warrior Hard Meats their place in the Hive Order is provide a sec line of defense and seeing that they are bigger, stronger, faster and have more armor then the Drones making them the perfect blockers for who every get pass the Drones and the last form are the Guardian Hard Meats as their name surges Alexis their Place in the Hive Order is protect the Queen if any invader that some how get pass the Drones and Warriors. Guardians are giant beasts that are cover in very thick armor and they also have the ability to spit their acid blood at you with deadly aim but they do have a weakness they are much slower then the Drones and Warriors but what they lack in speed the gain in power.

Lex (looking at the picture of a Queen on the view orb): And that just lave the Queen now doe's it Elder?

Gray Knife (looking at the picture as well): yes, Alexis the most deadly of all the Hard Meats just her size alone will make even the bravest and strongest yautja run in fear.

Lex: now that I can believe Elder because that was the first thing that come to my mine.

Black Heart: yes and that would the choice for many others. But you and Scar didn't flee. You stand your ground and battler a being that have ended the lives of countless yautja and you were victorious.

Lex (with a sad look): yes. We did win but at the cost of Scar life I would never made it out of the trail temple or kill that bitch with out his help. He's the one that should have gotten the Star Cuter ritual CombiStick then me.

Gray Knife: yes, Scar would have made it of the trail temple but he wouldn't be abler to kill that Queen without your help Alexis.

Lex (confuse look): Elder how could you say that? Scar was much bigger, stronger, and well arm then me.

Black Heart: yes, that is true Alexis but what I have seen form the video of the battler with the Queen you and Scar fight as equals that day. It's just the will of the Gods that Scar would fall that day in order for him to join them in the Great Hunting Fields.

Dark Fire: but mother in order for Scar soul to enter the fields he's body must be lay to rest and we can't do that until that foul beast is dead.

Lex (looking at Dark Fire and Gray Knife): Dark Fire, I already made this vow to your mother and now I make it to you and Elder Gray Knife. As soon I complete my trailing I will goon the hunt with Cold Blade and I won't stop until I bring back the beast head for you, your mother and father.

Gray Knife: I speak for all of us when I say that I have no doubt you will just that Alexis. Now that would be the end of my lesson for today unless you have any question?

Lex: yes, Elder I do have one question. Were did you fine the Hard Meats anyway?

Black Heart: that's a very long story Alexis. Are you sure you want to hear it?

Lex: yes, very much so Eldress.

Dark Fire: I like to hear it too mother.

Black Heart (smiling under her Mask): very well then I will tell you.

Lex and Dark Fire listing careful as BlackHeart began her story.

At the end of The Great Clans war the council of Elders order that the hunt would be the only way for young yautja males to prove themselves world to became adults instead going into battler with their follower Clan brothers and sisters. But the millennium long war had devastated Paya and what wild game that was left over wasn't much of challenge for anyone yet alone battler harder warriors and eager young males. So each clan modified their warship into spaceships in order lave Paya for better hunting grounds. It didn't take long for the space fairing Clans to fine many challenge prey. But one species that they will encounter will forever change the yautja race. That species is the Kainde Amedha or Hard Meats the product of bio warfare they were engineer to be the perfect organism of death and for that part they were just that so much so they almost kill off their creates before they was abler to stop them and gather all their deadly eggs and load them on giants U- shape cargo ships program to take it's hazardous cargo into their sun.

But 2 ships was places on uninhabited plants for safe keeping just incase they may be need it one day one of the 2 ships was found by a small clan ship that contact the council and the rest is history.

Lex: so when your and setter s found earth. It gives them the perfect chances to try the Hard Meats for the hunt.

Gray Knife: yes. But I want to insure you Alexis our and setters took great steps to make sure that the Hard Meat trail would never put your home world in giver danger.

Lex (looking puzzler): why is that Elder? I thought that yautja only view humans as noting more then prey?

Black Heart: yes, Alexis many yautja sills do have that opining but there are those like us that are being to see that your fellow Ooman are become a strong and honorable races.

Lex took in all with Gray Knife and Black Heart had just told her before saying.

Lex: well, Elder there is one more question that like to ask but it not about the Hard Meats.

Gray Knife: oh? What is your question Alexis?

Lex: why haven't any other aliens races have to come to earth beside the grays?

Gray Knife, Black Heart, and Dark Fire give each other puzzle looks before saying

All: the Grays?

Lex descent the gray skin aliens that have taking people over some time now to do who knows what to them on their ships before placing them back on earth.

Gray Knife: oh, the Black Eyes that who met.

Lex: yes.

Lex guessing that's what the yautja have name them Gray Knife told her that many Aliens races know about earth but must of them have decide not to come to earth until the human races is much older and also that they fear any yautja retribution for trespassing.

Lex: and the Black Eyes?

Black Heart: they have been warning repetition to lave earth alone but they sill do their experiment in defiance of us. One day we will deal with them accordingly.

Gray Knife: Are there any more questions you like to ask Alexis?

Lex: No. Elder that's it

With that said Lex was dismiss form class she quick pick her lesson keypads for today and made her way out of Black Heart classroom. Lex made a quick stop by her room to dope off her lesson keypads in her room before heading to the Med-Lab as she enter she found him sitting at a metal table looking over clear plastic sheets with red yautja writing on them.

Lex (walking up to him): Amm, Green Hand did I come at bad time.

Green Hand (looking up and standing up for the table): no, not at all Alexis I was just catching up on some reading. Now let's get started on your test.

Green Hand lead Lex to one the Med-Lab beds where he told her lay down so he can starts he's scenes of her. She did as he asks her to do before asking.

Lex (laying on the Med-Lab bed): Green Hand can I ask you some question seeing that I'm going to be here for a while.

Green Hand: yes, you may Alexis what is you like to know?

Lex: my first question is why is your hands green? Did you an accident or something?

Green Hand let a loud launder before saying.

Green Hand (sill laughing): no. Not at all Alexis the reason why my hands are Green because I have the mark of Keleer.

Lex: the Goddess of Healing. But what doe's have to do with you been green?

Green Hand: yes. You see Alexis when a yautja is born with any part of their body that is green that mines that yautja have been bless by the goddess with the gift of healing but for me it was a curse for a time.

Lex: a curse but why?

Green Hand told her growing with the mark of Keeler wasn't easy. He remember many of days as a kid that he got into fights with older yautja that pick on him for it as time pass Green Hand grew tire of being the outcast were his sisters and brothers was not. So using his knowledge he made himself a special black print to hid he's mark.

Lex (shock look): and it work?

Green Hand: yes and changing my name to Black Hand. I told everyone that the goddess had removed my mark that night.

Lex: and they believe you?

Green Hand: yes to my amazement as well.

Lex: so what was your life like without your mark?

Green Hand: wonderful Alexis I was now free to join the other young males in training for the hunt and the blooded trail without been seen as an outcast. But it seems that the goddess had let me enjoy my life for a time before coming back into my life in the form of two events.

Lex (sitting up a litter): and events were?

Green Hand: the first was when I met my mate Emerald she was a healer in training like I was but unlike me she far greater healer then me but that just my opining.

Lex: (smiling): so what happen between you too.

Green Hand told her after he done he' s Blooded Trail he ask her to be his mate for a time she said no many, many times before final saying yes but under the condition that he tell her the true about what happen to his mark.

Lex: and what happen?

Green Hand: I told her the true and by the goddess she understand why I hid my mark. But she said "that someday the Gods will show me my true path in life" and sure enough she was right Alexis in the form of the sec important event of my life.

Green Hand not long after that Green Hand was to go a Young Blood pack hunt on Earth. But once they reach Earth but instead of a pack hunt Green Hand would go a solo hunt which he didn't mine the change of plans this will give chance to show his Elder that he have what takes to become pack leader of the Young Bloods. But as he's Bullet Pod entering Earth atmosphere a small lighting volt hit it causing him to go off and cash landing. When he awoke from being knockout to found himself laying on a wood bed with 2 Ooman female stand over him as he slow move his head around to see what are they doing the taller one had just finished changing his bandaged on his right arm and now changing the left. Green Hand notices that she had her long black hair tire back with a red bow with a black sleeveless shirt and a pair of cutoff jeans and sanders. Younger one was wearing the same outfit but her hair wasn't tie back Green Hand guessing that the younger one is the older one child. As the child finished change bandaged on his right leg her mother give her a pat on her and a big smile showing her approval for a good job. They walk out the room hand in hand and a tall Ooman male come in and checks the bandaged and left the room.

Lex: so how long did take you to fully recover?

Green Hand: a week.

Lex: oh. So what happen next?

Green Hand told her once he had recovered he stay around the small village to protecting till he his clan ship return. He's way of thanking them for saving his life it didn't take long for Him to lean to spoke English and Spanish form the tall Ooman male which Green Hand was shock to discover that the Ooman male was also the village healer and leader of the village and that the two female was indeed he's mate and child. As the 3 weeks come to a end Green Hand have lean a great deal of things form his Ooman friends but the one lesson that stay with him for rest of his life that it is easy take a life but the will challenge is save one.

Green Hand: form that day for on I no long hid my mark and I continued on with my training as healer not long after that I was one choice few that had the honor of being train by the former ship healer. When the time come for him to choose a new ship healer he pick me to take care the clan.

Lex: What about Emerald did she become a healer too?

Green Hand: yes, she is now the clan healer on Paya.

Lex: Oh. Good for her.

Green Hand: yes, I'm so prod of her. But now Alexis that will be last question that I will answer for now I must begin those test now.

Lex nod her understandment and for the next 2 hours and half Lex under ever medicine test that Green Hand could run until he said.

Green Hand: well, that is the last I needed to run you could get up now.

Lex (get off the med-bed): thank you very much. Now like to ask something before I go?

Green Hand: yes.

Lex: do you have any helpers or do you have to care for the whole clan all by yourself?

Green Hand (laughing a litter): no. Alexis I have healer in training that help me with my duties. They offing are call half-healers on the account that there are not healers yet.

Lex (looking around the room): Were they? I haven't seen anyone since I come in.

Green Hand: they are all round the ship taking care of miner injuries that needed to be care of.

Lex (bowing her head): oh. So how did I do? Will I be able to go train with Gray Knife and Cold Blade or do I have to wait some day?

Green Hand took a long over all of her test resident before saying.

Green Hand (looking at her): you have passed the entire test with very good marks Alexis. I will tell Elder Gray Knife that you are ready to continuing your training as well that can change the air back to yautja. But before you go I have some to give you wait here for a min.

Green Hand made his way back to his desk and pull out a small yautja med-kit and walk back over to Lex and handed to her and said.

Green Hand: this you med-kit for when you go the hunt.

Lex (holding it): thank you, Green Hand

Green Hand: you are welcome, Alexis

They both turn around and Lex made her way out the Med-Lab and to her quarters. Once their Lex put up her Med-kit, weapons clean/repair kit in her Powerpack before putting her new Dagger, Combat knife and Sword. As soon she places the last one in it's holder Lex doorbell ring.

Lex (standing at her weapon/trophy wall): come in.

The door hiss open and in came Cold Blade holding Lex book that he borrow the other day.

Lex (a shock look on her face): Cold Blade you have done reading it already?

Cold Blade: yes, Locksoo and I have to say it was better then I first thought.

Lex: oh really now? Well can you tell me what was you favorite part or parts?

Cold Blade: it will be my honor Locksoo.

Lex wasn't to surprise that most of Cold Blade favorite parts was the battlers, the Trojan Horse, and when Odysseus and his son Telemachus whole sale slaughter the nobles suitors that came to marry his wife Penelope in order for one them to become king and take over Odysseus kingdom.

Cold Blade: they got what they derive for courting a mated queen.

Lex just nods her in understanding. Cold Blade turn his attention form Lex to her trophy wall and said.

Cold Blade (looking at her wall): Ah! I see that Hammer Fist have given your Honor weapons.

Lex: yes. He told me that he doesn't get a chance to give out to many of these why is that Cold Blade? I thought every yautja on the ship would love to have these.

Cold Blade: yes, Locksoo many yautja have desire them but only a few have the skill and courage to company the trails for them.

Lex (looking at him): Cold Blade do you have any Honor weapons?

Cold Blade (pointing at her dagger): just one Locksoo the dagger of Thwei.

Lex: oh. Cold Blade care to join me for dinner?

Cold Blade (bowing his head): why yes and thank you for invite me.

Lex: your welcome Cold Blade and besides this why you can tell me how your day want the unbloodeds over a nice hot meal which by the way will be done in a few minutes.

She said as walk form her trophy wall to the kitchen Cold Blade watch quintile as Lex made their meal. Once Lex finished her and Cold Blade sat down for dinner where Lex ask him how was he's day with.

Cold Blade: very good Locksoo the unbloodeds are show that they had what it takes to striver the blooded trail but.

Lex: but what Cold Blade?

Cold Blade: today I have stop 3 of them for almost killing each other.

Lex (putting down her fork): I hope it wasn't Dicer and his friends.

Cold Blade: no it wasn't them it was the other 3 the Unbloodeds Steel Claw (a 7'6 tall yautja and 320lbc age: 107 in human years 17) Shaiper (a 7'3 tall and 220lbc age: 108 in human years 18) and Edger (a 7'2 tall and 238lbc age: 107 in human years 17).

Lex: so what started the fight?

Cold Blade: (take a bit out of his food before answering Lex questions): believe it or not Locksoo the started over whose favorite weapon is best on the hunt.

Lex (a look of disbelieve): your right I don't believe you.

Cold Blade: well it's the true Locksoo. Steel Claw said his WristBlades is better then Shaiper Spear gun and Edger said a Maul is better then all of them. What they will have lard is it's not the weapons it the yautja that wheel them.

As they continued on their dinner conversation Cold Blade ask.

Cold Blade: Locksoo do all female Ooman know how to cook food this good?

Lex let out small laugh before saying

Lex: well most do but their some males that are far better then me at cooking.

Cold Blade: I fine that hard to believe Locksoo.

Lex gave a warm smile at him before he asks.

Cold Blade: Locksoo will teach me how to cook as you say?

Lex: ok. Cold Blade but like you to teach me something in return.

Cold Blade: and that might be?

Lex: Mmm. How about frying your ship?

Cold Blade: deal. But I think it's best for you to learn all the different types of yautja ships first.

Lex: and how do I fine that out Cold Blade?

Cold Blade: the information that you need should be on your room control panel.

Lex: ok. Cold Blade I'll take a look at it later.

Cold Blade thank Lex again for dinner and told her will see her in the training room tomorrow. Before helping her put away their dirty dishes in the dishwasher before heading out her door. Lex on other hand walk back into her living room pickup her lesson keypads form today and studying them for about 2 hours before walking over to her room control and said.

Lex: Room shows me all types of yautja spaceships.

Lex studied this info till it was time for bed. So with a quick shower Lex was in her bed once again without her night clothes now knowing that it's part of the yautja way of life to sleep naked and also Lex have to admit to herself that it made her feel a little naughty doing so. As Lex can feel sleep taking its hold she had a big smile on her face knowing that tomorrow she will restart her training.

The next morning Lex woke up very early and then she normally would and couldn't go back to sleep. So Lex decided to get early start on the day. Lex dress and had a quick breakfast before putting on her translator collar and grabbing her WristBlades, mask, CombiStick and was out her door. Once in the training room Lex found that the training room was very eerie quite without Gray Knife, Cold Blade and the other there. But never the less Lex got over it and did some stretching before putting on her mask and begin practicing with her WristBlades and then her CombiStick as she perform the moves that she have lean over the past few weeks her mine return to last night with the dinner she had with Cold Blade it has been a long time for Lex to have such a good time with anyone other then friends and her aunty. She begin to wonder is she starting to have feeling toward Cold Blade other then just being good friends.

Lex (thinking): Nan. It wouldn't work anyway he's a yautja warrior and I'm just an Ooman that happen to get herself blooded.

Lex laugh at herself a little before return her forces on her practicing. An hour later Gray Knife, Cold Blade and the unbloodeds come in the training room which all of them was shock to see that Lex was already there.

Gray Knife (bowing his head to and walking up to her): good morning Alexis I see that you have started with out us.

Lex (turning to him and bowing her head to him): good morning Elder. I got up early then I normally would and couldn't go back to sleep so I came here.

Gray Knife: (cutting her off): it's all right Alexis you don't have to expand but seeing that you are already warm up I propose a little training exercise.

Lex (looking puzzlers): what do you have in mine Elder?

Gray Knife wanted to see how fast and stronger Lex have become since having her D.N.A. mix. So he told her that she will spar against of the one unbloodeds if she able to knock them off their feet and then he will send anther to take his placed this will continued on until she have beating all six unbloodeds or one of them have beat her.

Gray Knife (standing by the unbloodeds): are you ready Alexis?

Lex (in her fighting stand): yes, Elder I'm ready.

Lex first opponent was Stone Hand as soon he gat the go ahead form Gray Knife he charge at Lex like a runaway train but Lex stood her ground and waited until StoneHand was about to run her over like a dog in the street but she simper step aside and use her CombiStick to sweep his feet right under him causing him to fall face first into the training room jungle flood. At first everyone But Gray Knife and Cold Blade was in sock on how easy Lex beat Stone Hand before bursting into laughter at him as he slow got up for the jungle flood holding his head and slowed walking back to he's sill laughing comrades. Gray Knife and Cold Blade on the other hand just shank their heads in a disappointment as walk by them.

Lex sec opponent was Sharp Eyes but unlike his older bother he didn't charge into battler but simply walk over to where Lex was standing and give her a head bow before getting in his fighting. Lex and Sharp Eyes look at each other for a sic or two before trading each other lighting fast jabs as the sparks fry form their CombiStick as the sound metal hitting metal echoes around the room as well the cheer of Stone Hand and the others for Sharp Eyes as for Gray Knife and Cold Blade watch silent. Lex and Sharp Eyes look like their speed seem to be equal until Lex speed up her movements unable to kept up Sharp Eyes had his CombiStick knockout of his hand and quick sweep kick he was on his back looking at Lex with disbelieve that he had loss as well.

Once Sharp Eyes was back over with his brother and fellow Unbloodeds. Now it's Dicer turn to try his luck against Lex. Dicer had already seen 2 of the best Unbloodeds beaten by her.

Dicer (thinking): maybe a surprise attack would work.

He thought as slowed walk toward Lex before going into a dead sprint right at her but unlike StoneHand charge Dicer jumper over and did a half roll flip over her. Lex did a half roll and lap at the landing Dicer and before Dicer could rise his CombiStick up full Lex landed two sharp jabs into his ribs before sweeping his right leg form under him cause him to fall dead on his back.

Lex (standing over him): nice try Dicer.

As Dicer got up and made his way back to StoneHand, SharpEyes and the rest of the Unblooded. Once back to their Lex can her he's fellow Unbloodeds gave him words of preys and encouragement for giving a good try. Gray Knife send Steel Claw, Shaper, and Eager against Lex but the outcome were the same all of them were beating by her.

Lex (looking at Cold Blade): well, it seem that just leave you and me Cold Blade. Are you ready for our rematch?

Cold Blade (pulling out his out his CombiStick): yes. I have been looking follower to it. Locksoo

As Cold Blade was about to walk over to her to begin their match but Gray Knife stop him and said.

Gray Knife oh no. Alexis Cold Blade won't be your next opponent.

Cold Blade (head to one side): well not me father then who?

Gray Knife (looking at her and unhooking his cape): it will be me my son.

Lex (thinking): Oh Shit.

As Lex watch as Gray Knife handed his red cape to Cold Blade and begin to take off his armor. Lex couldn't believe this is happening she is about to fight a yautja Elder the earth equivalent of a Special Forces team and a kung fu master all into one.

Gray Knife have watch Lex matches with the Unbloodeds and was deepen impress but he wanted to see her full potential for himself and besides this will give a chance to get in a litter sparring time in as he finish taking off his last piece of his armor. He extending his CombiStick and put on his mask before making his way to Lex. But as got closer to her he feel nerveless and fear coming form Lex.

Gray Knife (standing a few feet form her): Alexis there is no need to fear me just relax your mine and when you are ready try to get me off my feet like you did the others.

Lex (thinking): Oh, that easy for him to say. He ante the one who about go up against a yautja Elder.

She thought before taking a deep breath and got in her fighting stand. Lex slow creeping over to him holding her CombiStick as thought as she could as she careful began to circling him like a shark in the sea sizing him up looking for any weakness and form what Lex have seen he have none well none that she could see anyway. As he just standing there holding his golden CombiStick by his side as it shine in the rays of the training room artificial sun make glow like it's a holy object then a weapon. Lex notices that Gray Knife body look very much the same as Cold Blade without his armor and cape on. The only difference between him and his son that Gray Knife have many battle scars on his back and chest. She circle Gray Knife one more time before stopping in fort of him. Their look at each other as Cold Blade and the unbloodeds patiently wait for the match to begin.

They didn't have to wait long as Lex let out a fearsome battler cry before charging toward Gray Knife only stopping an Inc form him and let out a fury of powerful swings at him. But Gray Knife just simply rise his CombiStick block Lex blows as if the was noting. Now it's Gray Knife turn to attack in the form of 3 powerful swings which Lex block 2 of the 3 blows but the third blow she block broke her CombiStick in half.

At that moment everyone but Gray Knife that is thought that she would have quit seen that her weapon broking but to their surprise Lex just took her 2 broking parts her CombiStick in her hands and use them like kendo fighting sticks. Letting a fury of swings and kicks at Gray Knife but just as before he block her attack with easy.

As the match continued on the unbloodeds was let out cheers of encouragement for their Elder as for Cold Blade he watch didn't know who he should cheer for his father or his friend. Lex and Gray Knife treaded each other a series of vicious combos but none of their attacks landed on their targets. As Lex and Gray Knife both take a jump back form each other to a break form combat and also come with battle plans. Lex was very proud of herself for lasting this long against Gray Knife but she knows not to let it go to her head knowing if she get overconfident she will lose to him as the Unbloodeds lose to her. On the other side of this was Gray Knife he is very impress with her skill especially when she continued on fighting with a broking weapon turning a disadvantage into advantage. Now she have 2 weapons compare to his one Lex is showing him even more then he was expedition today. She is truly is becoming a stronger huntress in his eyes but she have a long way to go before she able to beat him as she was about to fine out.

At that moment Gray Knife charge at her and like before Lex stood her ground thinking that Gray Knife was going to pull the same tick that Dicer try to pull but Lex was in for a surprises as Gray Knife did a perfect running back spin move with his CombiStick sweeping Lex right off her feet ending her match with Gray Knife causing the Unbloodeds to roar in cheers for their Elder for his victory. But instead of celebrating he's victor over her Gray Knife help her to feet and said.

Gray Knife (placing his right hand on her left shoulder): good match Alexis.

Before turn around and walk back over to the unbloodeds and to put back on his armor as he Cold Blade handed his father cap to before walk over Lex was standing and said.

Cold Blade (standing by her): are you all right Locksoo?

Lex: Yes, I'm fine well until I go to Hammer Fist that is.

Cold Blade (head to one side): and why would you said that Locksoo?

Lex (hold out her broken CombiStick): because Hammer Fist is going to kill me for this.

Cold Blade (laughing a litter): No he is not Locksoo this can thing happen more often thing you might think. I will tell father were you are going.

With that said Cold Blade give her a head bow before turn around and walk back over to his father and the Unbloodeds. While Lex made her way out the training room door once at Hammer Fist shop door Lex took a deep breath before go in hoping that Cold Blade was right that Hammer Fist won't get too mad about fixing her CombiStick.

Hammer Fist (sitting at he's work-desk and looking at Lex as she came in): Ah! Alexis your classics are done so soon today?

Lex (holding her CombiStick behind her back): no just that I need to ask you for a favor.

Hammer Fist (sitting back in his chair and crossing his arms): oh. And what can of a favor?

Lex: (hold out her broken CombiStick): can you fix this for me?

At that moment Hammer Fist got out of his chair and walk over where Lex was standing and took both half of her CombiStick form her hands and took a long look at them before saying.

Hammer Fist (with annoyance in his voice): Let me guess "this" happen when you and Cold Blade were sparring right?

Lex: no. Not with Cold Blade but with Elder Gray Knife.

Hammer Fist (head jerk back): What? You spar with the Elder?

Lex: yes.

Hammer Fist: please, Alexis tell me how did it go.

Lex told Hammer Fist what happen with her sparring match with Gray Knife as he repair her CombiStick. As Lex finish telling her story so was her CombiStick.

Hammer Fist (handing it to her): there you are good as new.

Lex (taking it): thank you Hammer Fist and I will try to be more careful with this time.

Hammer Fist: oh don't worry about it I have no problems about fixing any of your weapons Alexis. I know you take great care of your weapons unlike some of the young bloods I know.

Lex: but sill I know how much hard work you do and you don't need me adding some work on what you have to do already.

Hammer Fist couldn't help but to let out small laugh at because other then his mates and children he had never had anyone care so much for he's well being.

Hammer Fist: it all right Alexis now hurry back to Cold Blade and Elder Gray Knife they are probably wait on you.

Lex (turn to lave): oh right bye Hammer Fist and thanks again.

She said as walk out the door. Once back at the training room Lex fine that it was Cold Blade that was indeed waiting for her.

Cold Blade: Ah! There you are Locksoo ready to do some more training?

Lex: yes, but seeing that you and me didn't get our rematch at the began of class how we have it now?

Cold Blade (extending his CombiStick): that sound good to me Locksoo but let's make this best out of 3 wins to make more into rings.

Lex: (extending hers): deal. Shell we being?

With that said Cold Blade and Lex finally did had their rematch and what a rematch it was as both of them pull out all the stops in their first sparing match since Lex DNA mix. But in the end of the round one Cold Blade hold the led for now. As the start of round 2 begin Cold Blade was quite please with himself as he holds the first victory in their best of 3. But that all of change as Lex give Cold Blade a quick and painful defeat tine them with a win a piece.

Lex (in her fighting stand): well, well Cold Blade it looks like we are going to a third round.

Cold Blade (in his fighting stand): yes, Locksoo a round that I will win.

Lex: oh really Ah! Let's see about that.

As the 2 was about to square off Gray Knife stop them before walking over were they was standing and said.

Gray Knife: Cold Blade, Alexis I have a suggestion that you too might like.

Cold Blade and Lex look at each other for a sic before Cold Blade ask.

Cold Blade: and that may be, Father?

Gray Knife suggest to them that instead fighting with their CombiStick try fight Jehdin-Jehdin or hand to hand.

Lex (looking at Cold Blade): that sound good ideal to me. What about you Cold Blade?

Cold Blade (looking at Gray Knife): Me too Locksoo. Father what are the rules?

Gray Knife: the rules are simple the first one to that gets their opponent to stay on the ground to the count of 5 wins.

With that said Cold Blade and Lex close their CombiStick and took of their mask before getting in their fighting stands.

Lex (looking at him): now remember Cold Blade I want to hold noting back because I will not do the same.

Cold Blade (looking at her): don't worry about that Locksoo I will do just that.

They said to each other before circling each other for a time before stopping to look at each other for moment and as if a fight bell had ring they both come out their corners swing.

Cold Blade threw a powerful right cross that would have taken Lex head right off if she hading duck in time. In return she let out a set of jabs into his chest which injured Cold Blade but not by much as he retaliate with a combo of his own hitting Lex in the stomach and head which surprising to her they wasn't death blows.

As they battler on the Unbloodeds let cheers for both Cold Blade and Lex as for Gray Knife he Careful watching this tiebreaker match. Cold Blade and Lex let out Hellish combos a pond each other a killer paced for a hour until they have push their body to their limits of pain and abuse. But nether one of them wanted to loose to the other so they gather all their reminding strength for last clash.

Cold Blade let out a fearsome roar before pulling back his right arm and threw it with every thing had lift and arming for Lex head again but to the surprise of him and everyone else. Lex block it with one handed and said.

Lex (her eyes glowing yellow and looking into Cold Blade eyes): you not going to win this one not this time Cold Blade!

Right before she lap up and pull back her right hand and hitting Cold Blade right on he's chin knocking him out cold but that was the last of Lex straight as well she fall along side Cold Blade leaving Gray Knife no choice to count them both out and ending the match in a tie.

About an hour later Lex found herself laying on all to familiar bed.

Green Hand (walking up to her): Ah! You are finally awoke

Lex (sitting up and shaking her head): Oh. No I lost.

Green Hand: no. You and Cold Blade tie again.

Lex (holding her head down): Aaa that ever worse.

Green Hand just laughing at Lex a little before treeing Lex small cuts and blues before telling her.

Green Hand: Alexis, Elder Gray Knife want me to tell you that your training for today is done but he want to see you right after your class with the Eldress.

Lex (bowing her head): thank you for tell me and fixing me up again.

Green Hand (bowing his head): your welcome Alexis

But as Green Hand about to turn around Lex stop him and said.

Lex (hoping off the Med-bed): Green Hand is Cold Blade all right?

Green Hand: yes, he just fine Alexis he lift a few minutes before you woke up and.

Lex: and what?

Green Hand (bowing his head again): forgive Alexis but I only forget to inform you that he said that he will be waiting for you out side you're quarters for his cooking lessoning.

A smile come across her face as she was told that Cold Blade sill waited to do it ever after she had beat him up today. Lex thanks GreenHand again before heading out the Med-Lab and to BlackHeart and Gray Knife quarters for her class with her. Once their Lex have her normal lunch with them before going into the classroom Black Heart ask.

Black Heart: so Alexis how was your training go today?

Lex: in a word intense Eldress.

Dark Fire (head to one side): and why you said that Alexis?

Lex told them all that happen today in the training room needless to say that Black Heart and Dark Fire was complaint taken back on her victory over all the unbloodeds and the sparring match with Gray Knife and as well the best of 3 with Cold Blade.

Black Heart (looking shock): you were current to say you had an intense day Alexis.

Lex: yes, indeed Eldress but I have to say also it was the most fun I had in years.

Dark Fire (looking at her with a confuse look): it was fun for you when you lose to father and tie with Cold Blade?

Lex: yes, but not the way you put it Dark Fire.

Dark Fire (crossing her arms and smiling): well then how would say it then Alexis.

Lex smile and expand to them that normal she the one that is the teacher not the student but it have been a welcome change for her.

Black Heart: and have been a great joy teaching you our culture Alexis that bring us to our lesson today.

Black Heart Lesson was about the Braiding Ceremony. Black Heart told Lex that the Ceremony is a test to truly see that an unblooded yautja is ready for the blooded trail and adulthood in the form of two parts. The first is the braiding of red-hot metal hair rings to the hair of a Unblooded if he move or show any pain the braid is taking off reheated and placed back on. This go on until he's hair is company braided or he give up and fail the test. The second part of the Ceremony is the test of maturity once the Unblooded hair is braided he must stand at full attention and don't move what so every while a yautja female tempt him to move by dancing very seduction if he move or try to garb or touch the temptress he will fail the test.

Lex (thinking): extreme pain and sexual torture yep sound like a yautja party to me.

Black Heart: Alexis do you have any question about the Ceremony?

Lex: yes, just 2 question Eldress. The first is do all Clans have the same type of ceremony? And do females have the same Ceremony as the males do?

Black Heart: yes, Alexis many Clans have the same Braiding Ceremony as we do and other do not. And as the Braiding Ceremony for females we do have the braiding part but not the tempting part. Is their anything else Alexis?

Lex: no, Eldress that's it.

Black Heart: well then, Alexis that will be the end of my lesson for today. Dark Fire it's your turn dear.

Dark Fire (bowing her head to Black Heart): thank you mother. Now Alexis my lesson is to how to braid and tempt a male but first the braiding.

With that said Dark Fire turn on the view orb showing the whole painful process. Once the video was done Dark Fire ask Lex to follow her to anther room in order for them to have more room for the temptress dance. So Dark Fire, Lex and Black Heart got up for the table and made their way of Black Heart and Gray Knife quarters to a yautja dance hall. Where Lex was shock to see 3 yautja was in the dance hall too and 2 of them are wearing full body armor and weapons as they got closer Lex realize them, as the one's that was at her blood bath ceremony.

Lex (turning to Dark Fire): Dark Fire who are they?

Dark Fire: oh, they are mother aids that help her with all the ceremony she have to for the clan.

Lex: and why are they wearing weapons and armor?

Dark Fire: they are also mother personal bodyguards.

Lex was puzzler on way Black Heart needed bodyguards but never the less Lex deicide hold on to her question for later on. Once they made there way to them Lex can see one of Black Heart aids/bodyguards wasn't wearing armor but a red and black yautja-style belly dancer dress with round silver rings around the hip. Dark Fire told her the best way for her to lend it is to do it.

Dark Fire: but first I would like you to put this on.

She said as one of Black Heart aids handed Lex a temptress dress in her size. Not feeling at all embarrass of changing in front of Dark Fire and others once Lex had finish changing Dark Fire and her assigning show Lex the temptress dance which it was very simile to earth belly dancers. It took Lex about to learn the dance and also that a temptress can go topless if she wanted to as well touch the Unblooded that she is dancing for. Happy on how fast Lex learn the dance Dark Fire dismiss her and Lex quick change back into her normal yautja change and out the dance hall and back to the training room were she that Gray Knife is sill waiting for her and sure enough he was their laying under one the tall trees that was in the room with his hands resting on his chest plant, feet cross and his head resting on tree it self. Lex couldn't help but to smile at the sight of a yautja elder kicking back and relaxing. Not wanted to work Gray Knife form his lap Lex quietly walk over were he was sleeping and kneed beside him.

As she watches him sill-sleeping Gray Knife she couldn't help to boulder what do yautja dream about when they sleep?

Lex (thinking): Ha. Probable killing something that would give me nightmare for weeks on end.

Right at moment Gray Knife slow wake form his lap. As he stretch his long arm and legs as well let out a yawl that sounded a littler roar but as he turn to see that Lex was kneeing beside him. He fought a litter embarrass about falling asleep while he was waiting for her to come form Black Heart class. But that feeling when away as Lex smiles and said.

Lex (smiling and bowing her head): did you sleep well, Elder?

Gray Knife (sitting up) yes, and how was your class today?

Lex (standing up): good Elder Green Hand told me you wanted to see me?

Gray Knife (standing up as well): yes, Alexis I have something's that I need to talk with you about. But first there something's that I need you to do for me come with me.

So with that Gray Knife and Lex made their way to anther tall tree that 3 lager red and black targets on the tree trunk that was spread apart equal. The first at the bottom, the sec in the middle and the last right at the tree braches begin at. Once their Gray Knife told Lex that this training exercise would be the last part of her CombiStick training all she have to do is throw and hit 3 out of 6 CombiStick that Gray Knife had placed in the ground in a row. So with head nod of understanding Lex pick up one of the CombiStick took aim throw it like a javelin hitting the first target dead center.

Gray Knife (looking at the hit target): very good, Alexis now try to hit the others the same way.

Lex: ok. I will try Elder.

Lex pick up 2 more CombiSticks form the ground and took careful aim and made 2 more bull eyes

Gray Knife (placed his right hand on left shoulder): well done and congeners Alexis you have complete your CombiStick training but their is just one more thing that like you to try for me?

Lex: what would you like me to do?

Gray Knife have seen today that have gain their strength and sandmen. Now he is cereus to see that Lex have gain there agile as well.

Gray Knife (taking off his Cape): Just try to do what I do Alexis.

He said as he handed her his red cape to her and once their to amazement of Lex Gray Knife just simple bended his legs a littler abet and leap into the air. As he flew up into the air he pull out all 3 of Lex CombiSticks for their targets before landing with a thunderous sound.

Lex (handed him his cape): you want me to do that?

Gray Knife (taking it and handing her one of the CombiStick): yes, Alexis just jump height as you can and mark it with the CombiStick.

Lex took a long look at the 20 feet tree before saying to herself.

Lex (thinking): oh what the hell here go.

Right before she bending her legs all the way and leaping into the air just Like Gray Knife only a min ago. But unlike she stop right between the third and second as gravity took it's hold on her Lex quick stab the CombiStick deep with in the tree trunk before falling back to the ground. Lex look at Gray Knife with the look of disbelieve she couldn't believe she just did that but a quick look up at the CombiStick that is formal placed in the side of tree is proof that she indeed do it.

Gray Knife: very good, Alexis

Lex: thank you, Elder

Gray Knife: now. Alexis I have some question that I have to ask you.

Lex: what would like you to know?

Gray Knife ask Lex about what she do when her training and class is done. Lex told him what she normal do after training and class.

Gray Knife: Mmm. I see tell me Alexis how much of the ship have you seen?

Lex: beside the Med-Lab, Hammer Fist shop and the training room other then that not very much Elder Gray Knife.

Gray Knife: well, then that will change as of tomorrow.

Lex (head to one side): Huh?

Gray Knife expand to her that he will give her a tour of the clan ship after her training tomorrow.

Lex: but Elder I also have a class tomorrow with the Eldress and DarkFire as well.

Gray Knife: don't worry about that we will stop by BlackHeart class before going on our littler tour.

Lex and Gray Knife talk about hour. Before she say her goodbyes and about head toward the training room door when Gray Knife stop her and said.

Gray Knife: Oh, Alexis for tomorrow just being your Glaive and Spear Gun you be training with them.

Lex (bowing her head to him): yes, Elder I'll will bring them. But there is just one more thing I have to ask before I go Elder?

Gray Knife: yes, what is your question, Alexis?

Lex: well since I completed my training with my CombiStick. Does that mean I completed my training with my WristBlades as well?

Gray Knife: yes, Alexis you have completed your WristBlades training but there are some techniques with them that I will show you later on. Is their anything else you like to ask Alexis?

Lex: no. That's it and thank you Elder.

Gray Knife: you welcome Alexis.

With that Lex hurry out the training room and to her quarters hoping that Cold Blade won't be too mad at her. Once she reaches her quarter's door she found that Cold Blade was sill waiting for her. As she approaches him Cold Blade got off the wall that he was leaning on and uncrosses his arms and said.

Cold Blade: Ah! There you are Locksoo.

Lex (walking up to him): I' m sorry Cold Blade for the long wait but Elder wanted me to do some more training with after my class today.

Cold Blade (waving it off): I already know Locksoo Father told me when I was in the Med-Lab. Tell me how did it go?

Lex: very good Cold Blade Elder told me that I have completed my WristBlades and CombiStick training today and tomorrow I will begin training with my Spear Gun and Glaive.

Cold Blade: that good to hear Locksoo. Now are ready for your first frying lesson?

Lex: Oh hell yeah.

Cold Blade let out a small laugh at Lex a sow before showing her the way to the ship bay. Once their Lex was shock to see that Cold Blade had 2 yautja fighter ships wait for them.

Lex: Cold Blade I'm going learning how to fry on a Dtai' k-de ship?

Cold Blade (turning to her and head to one side): why yes, we be using them today Locksoo. But tell me how did you know the ship name?

Lex (a small laugh): that easy Cold Blade I look up all the yautja ship info like you surges yesterday after you left.

Cold Blade had a big smile on his face as remember tell her how to fine that information over dinner. Now of course Lex couldn't see this because of his mask.

Cold Blade (sill smiling): well then Locksoo let's begin.

With that Cold Blade help Lex into her fork shape ship and show how to use the controls before jumping into his fighter. Setting the autopilot on Lex ship to follow his. As their engineers started up Lex said a quick payer to her before they fry out the ship bay. Once they got some dithers form the clan ship Cold Blade turn off Lex autopilot and said.

Cold Blade (on his mask radio): Locksoo can you hear me?

Lex (on her Mask radio): yes, Cold Blade I can hear you.

Cold Blade: good. Locksoo I want you to try to do what I do.

Lex: ok. Cold Blade.

For the next hour Cold Blade show Lex the base moves of frying which Lex learn very quick to do before Cold Blade show more advance moves which Lex learn very easy as well. Cold Blade can see that Lex will be excellent pilot in no time.

Now it's time for them to head back to the clan ship. But before make their way back Lex ask Cold Blade can she fry her ship back instead of the autopilot. Of course he said yes seen that she had already master every move that he had show her today and landing shouldn't be a problem and sure enough he was right as Lex made a perfect landing. Once they got out their ships Cold Blade and Lex quicken made their way back to Lex quarters for Cold Blade crooking lesson which quite eager to take seeing that he now have a taste for crook food. But as they reach Lex door they was surprise to see one of Black Heart aids standing by the door.

Lex (walking up to her): can I help you?

Black Heart Aid (turning around and bowing her head): oh, there you are "Blooded One" here this is for you.

She said as she handed Lex a small black and sliver box. Curse on what maybe inside Lex press the black button on the side and the box top open to show Lex it was her temptress dress.

Lex (Cold Blade standing beside her): my dress?

Black Heart Aid: the Eldress and Dark Fire wanted to give you this but you had already left before they could give it to you. So the Eldress order me to give this to and inform you that the Eldress is giving you promising to be apart of the upcoming unblooded braiding ceremony. That if you want to do that is.

Lex (bowing her head to her): thank you for bring me this and for telling me.

So with anther head bow she turnaround and made her way down the ship hallway. While Cold Blade and enter her quarters. Lex put up her mask and CombiStick before going to her bedroom to put away her new dress. Once she came back to the living room she that Cold Blade had already made his to the kitchen and is now wait on Lex again.

Lex (walking in the Kitchen): tell me Cold Blade why do you have so much presence when it comes to waiting on me?

Cold Blade: waiting is we yautja do best Locksoo and beside that give some time to think of way of a way for us break our tie aging.

Lex (rising one her eyebrows): Oh come up with anything Cold Blade?

Cold Blade: no. Locksoo do you have any thoughts?

Lex thought about for a moment till ideal come to her.

Lex (smiling devilish): Oh I have ideal but will have to wait after your cooking lesson Cold Blade to hear it.

With that Lex begin showing Cold Blade the based before moving on to harder things. Cold Blade was a very presence student and so have the make being a good cook. Once the food was done Cold Blade and Lex sat down and had dinner like the day before. As they finish Cold Blade help Lex put their dirty dashers in the dishwasher and the leftovers in the refrigerator.

Cold Blade (turning to her): so Locksoo what is this ideal of yours?

Lex: just follow me to the living room and I will tell you.

So Cold Blade follow Lex into her living room where she told him her ideal for their second tiebreaker.

Cold Blade (smiling under his mask): so you want me to play the role the of unblooded.

Lex: yes. And if you move or touch me I will win our tiebreaker.

Cold Blade: but I resist your temptation I will win.

Lex: yes.

Cold Blade: well then Locksoo you have yourself a deal.

Lex (walking out the room): good. I'm going to change now I'll be right back Cold Blade.

As Cold Blade waited for Lex to return his mine defeated back when he was truly an unblooded and about to under go the temptress part of his braiding ceremony. He had already passed the hair braiding part with frying colors but blocking out pain is one thing resisting a near naked female is anther. Just then his mother and her Aids come in the room along with his temptress and what a temptress indeed standing at 8'7 tall and about 244lbc with very long black dreads that come all the way down her back with gold and sliver hair rings on each one of them. Her black and white stripes body was the prefect mix of harden muscle and female curves but what got Cold Blade attention the most were her dark jade color eyes that seem to look right into his soul.

Black Heart (her aids by her side): Cold Blade are you ready to begin my son?

Cold Blade (bowing his head to her): yes, mother I'm ready.

So with a head bow to her son BlackHeart Aids walk form their Eldress side to the drums set on the left side the room while Cold Blade Temptress was standing of the right side of the room. But as soon the drummers begin to beat their drums in a high energy rhythm she came out of that corner with the grace of a ballerina but she dace with the full erotic power of her sex. Arousing Cold Blade to the point that he almost loss control of himself but Cold Blade will was far stronger then his sexual desire. Once his temptress dance was done she walk over to him and said.

Temptress (deep sexy voice): well, congratulates Cold Blade you have passed the test of matured and for that you have earned a reward.

Cold Blade (looking deep into her eyes): and what is my reward my Temptress?

Temptress (looking deep into his): a answer to a question but I will warn you choose you question wise Cold Blade if not you get a answer that will not like.

Cold Blade (smiling at her and rubbing his chin): then the question will be what is my Temptress name?

Shadow Rose (smiling and bowing her head to him): and the answer is Shadow Rose, Cold Blade son of Eldress BlackHeart.

And with that she turn form him walk over where his mother and give a head bow before making her way to the door were she stop only to give a playful smile to Cold Blade before finally leaving the room. And with that smile Cold Blade made a vow that day that the Temptress name Shadow Rose would be his mate and no one else.

Cold Blade had a smile on his mask face as his mine return to the present as hear Lex walking down her hallway. But once she step form it Cold Blade was caught off his guard as his yautja heart skip 2 beats as he look around Lex in her temptress dress. Even done Cold Blade have gating use of seeing Lex heat signature but never like this.

Cold Blade (saying it quietly ): Paya give me strength.

That all could say as a pond Lex in her reviving outfit. But he quick regains his consolers as she said.

Lex (waving her index finger back and forth): An. An. No cheating Cold Blade took off your mask.

Cold Blade small let out small laugh as remove his mask and put on his belt. Now remembering that it wasn't allow to wear it doing the ceremony While Cold Blade was doing that Lex walk over to her room control as she did her hip rings jangle soft caressing Cold Blade to look at Lex nice shape Ass very intensity. As she stop at the controls and look over the screen menu she was quite proud at herself for coming up with this littler game that they was about to play this is far better then fighting each other aging. As she found the music for the temptress dance she can feel Cold Blade eyes on but this is not unwelcome feeling she wanted Cold Blade not to able to take his eyes off her. Because Lex make a vow that she will win this second tiebreaker no matter what she have to do to do it. Lex turnaround and face Cold Blade and ask.

Lex (with a half smile on her face): ready to begin Cold Blade?

Cold Blade: I'm as ready as you are Locksoo.

Lex: Room. Play music.

No sooner then Lex say these words the temptress music fill Lex quarters as se begin to dance as well. Cold Blade watch very intense as Lex dance the same way as his lost mate did but with her own unlock stably that was her alone. About midway thought Lex dance she have notices that Cold Blade not once taking his eyes of her. But haven't move one inch to her yet and knowing that the temptress song will be going off it soon with it her chance of wining this second tiebreaker. So Lex decides to take their game to a hold anther lever Lex slow walk over wear Cold Blade was standing playful spin around as she did before stopping only a few inch from him. As Lex counter dancing for him she slowly turn her back to him and very sexy took off her black bar top and let it fall to the fog cover floor. But Lex didn't stop there she took a few steps form Cold Blade before placing her right arm and hand over her D cup size breast before facing him again for a belief moment before spinning around and cover her breast with her left arm and hand and that when Cold Blade had seen enough as he slow walk over to the sill dancing Lex as she was about to turn to face Cold Blade once again not knowing that he is right behind her she cross her arms over her chest. But as she spins around to face him again she was shock and surprise by Cold Blade as he grab on her arms and pull her into him.

At that moment the temptress song stop and a dead silent fill Lex quarters as she and Cold Blade look deeply into eyes. Lex can see that Cold Blade brown/yellow eyes was fill with a fire of sexual desire he wanted her right then and there. Not only she can see his desire for her but can feel it as well as a very "Big" bulge that poking her in her stomach coming for his under loincloth.

And she was right Cold Blade wanted her in every sexual way but as he look deep into her yellow eyes he could only see shock and fear in them. So Cold Blade slowly let go of her and took 3 big steps back before lowing his head and said.

Cold Blade: (looking at the floor): forgive me, Alexis I lost control of myself.

Lex was quite taking back on what Cold Blade just said but not form his heart felt apology but he call her Alexis not Locksoo.

Lex (arms sill cross and in a weak voice): It's all right Cold Blade I…Guess I got a litter care away myself.

Anther moment of silent fall between them before Lex said.

Lex (smiling): but I did win our tiebreaker.

Cold Blade (head sill lower and smiling as well): yes, you did Locksoo. But you have won this battler but our war is far from over.

He said just lifting his head a littler and smile before giving head bow and return she give him one. Before Cold Blade slow turn around and walk out of Lex quarters. No sooner then he left out Lex out a sigh of reflect as she uncrossing her arms. Lex was glade that samarium was over with but she couldn't help to smile just a little for wining their sec tiebreaker and causing the clam and cool Cold Blade to loose it a littler.

Lex (thinking): well, I guess I wouldn't make a bad temptress after all.

She thought before letting out a small laugh before looking for her temptress top. Once she fines it she didn't put it back but instead made her way to her bathroom for a good long hot shower. Once Lex had her hot shower and drying herself off before coming out her bathroom with her red silk tower wrap around her body and hair with her dirty clothes in hand. As she place them in the dirty clothes container before hoping on the eager of her king size yautja bed thinking about the very busy day she just had form her early morning warm up to the sparing matches that she had with the Unbloodeds, Gray Knife, and Cold Blade along with her class lesson with Black Heart and her temptress dance lesson with Dark Fire.

As Lex counter on her mine review of the day a smile came across her face as she thought of fining Gray Knife laying under a tree and the extra training with him and the friendly chat with him. But the most enjoyable part of the day was the time she had with Cold Blade form her first frying lesson to his first crooking lesson was the most fun time she had today other then beating all the Unbloodeds that is. But when her mine come to the tiebreaker temptress dance Lex had very mix feeling about that event.

Even done she was very happy about wining their sec tiebreaker but she was very surprise at herself. She never would had thought that she would do something so daring as to take off her top and give a peek-o-boo dance to anyone yet alone a person that she only had know for a good month but Cold Blade wasn't like anyone she had met before human or otherwise. She kept telling herself that did that to win the tiebreaker that all but that was a lie. She trusted him more then anyone her past boyfriends ever when he grab hold of her as scary as that event was somehow she knew that he wasn't force himself on her. As she thought about some she will never had anyone desire her so deeply. As Lex could feel sleep was taking it hold on her so finish drying her hair and clawing into her bed for a good night rest.

But it seem that Lex mine wasn't going to let her forger that very intimate and scary moment that easy. As she dream of that moment again but unlike the original this one got littler more interesting.

Lex found herself in the gentle and form hold of Cold Blade hands looking into his brown/yellow eyes full with sexual desire they stare into each other for a time. Before Cold Blade took his right hand form Lex right arm and gentle rub her Scar cheek as he did this he let out a deep catlike purr in order to clam her a littler and it did as she close her eyes and before opening aging looking deep into his eyes seeing that Cold Blade only wanted to please her with all his body and soul and decide to let him do so.

So Lex slowly uncross her arms and leaning her bare chest into his before placing her hands and caressing his mandible jaw Cold Blade close his eyes as he felt Lex small hands touching him softy. They counter caressing each other faces till Cold Blade unexpected pick up Lex in bridal form and carry her to her bedroom. As Lex was in Cold Blade powerful arm she lean her head on his chest careful not to cut her on his Wire-mass as she did she could hear Cold Blade heart beating so hard and fast that she thought that it would burst out of it.

Lex (thinking): well it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

She thought as her heart was doing the same as they enter her bedroom Cold Blade Careful place Lex on the bed before walking into a shadow part of her room. Lex couldn't see what Cold Blade was doing until he walk out the shadow and what she saw took her breath away. As Lex sat up on the bed she can see that Cold Blade had taking off his WristBlades and Wire-mass off only his loincloth remain on for now.

Lex was deeply turn on by final seeing Cold Blade well built body without his Wire-mass getting in the way of her view. As he got to the bed he got on one kneed while Lex slide herself to him and begin to caressing his heavy muscle chest feeling his reptile like skin for a time before lowing her right hand to his loincloth and playful caressing the "Big" Bulge. As she did the bulge got even bigger but this didn't frighten her not at all but only the opposite rising her arousing even more so much so she ask.

Lex (caressing his chest and the bulge at the same time): Cold Blade would you take this off for me?

Cold Blade: for you Locksoo I'll do anything you want me to do.

He said as he rise for his kneed and standing slowly remove his loincloth once gone Lex let out a small animal like grow as she look at Cold Blade 12 inc and 3 inc thick yautja maleness. Lex reach out and caress form the top all the way down and up aging stroking him softly causing Cold Blade to let out deep and rumbling purrs letting her know that he is enjoying her touch on his sex weapon very much. But Lex just thought of something that Cold Blade is going to love she stop her stroking of his harden dick only to give him a playful smile before licking and sucking his dick all the way down round and every were in between until she could feel that Cold Blade was about to relish he's alien cum all over her body.

She stop and sexy climb back on her bed while jesting to him to join her on the bed of curse he did just as soon he was on the bed with her Lex playful untie one the bows to her red temptress bikini bottom laving the other one for Cold Blade to get which he did just that and removing her hip rings as well. Final revealing her whole body to his light growling eyes laying beside Lex Cold Blade slow run his left hand all over her body form scar cheek to her hot and wet pussy and every were in between as if he was studying and memorizing every curve and line of her body.

Cold Blade stop his caressing Lex body to only look deep into her one more time before deciding on something that he wanted to try for a long time. Leaning over and spreading his mandible jaw a wide in order for him to kiss Lex on the lips. He was careful not to cut her soft lips with shape teeth on his inner mouth. As unusual as this "kiss" is Lex return he's affection by touching his tongue with her over his teeth. This counter on until Cold Blade break the passions kiss and slowly move his lager body over her and place his arms on both sides of hers in order not to put his full weight on Lex. As Cold Blade slow enter Lex wet pussy she let out a deep moan of pleasure as she felt only the tip of his dick which he move slowly and carefully pushing in &out of her giving her body time adjust to his size and Cold Blade was rewarded for his patient as he was now able to put more of himself into Lex wet pussy with every gentler stroke.

But Lex wanted more from her yautja lover then just his hard dick inside her. She wanted to feel her body next to his. So moving her hands form his hips to his back and neck she pull him down to her. Once Lex felt Cold Blade muscle chest touch hers she let out loud moan of pleasure into his left ear would be if he had them. While Cold Blade on the other hand warp his giant arms around her body as he push all of himself into her fighting the eager to cum deep inside her right then and there but Cold Blade kept his control and slow begin to fuck Lex with long control strokes. This joining of two bodies counter on their pleaser full union till they was about to cum together in ecstasy until Lex shaper woke form her erotic dream cover in sweat and said.

Lex (sitting up in her bed and in a weak voice): Cold Blade.

At that very moment Cold Blade also awoke form the very same dream and said.

Cold Blade (sitting up in his bed and in a weak voice): Alexis.
