Sh'Indrara see that the soothing medicine acts very quickly, the female Ooman, asleeps "She's much more calm, for the moment." Then get out of the quarters, going directly to the control room, where are the others who are still together, "You aren't wasting any time!" R'Kahr raises an eyebrow, "You got that right!" She sees the weaponry, "I see, you're not supposed to be near the hangar?" Brian turns to her, "Sh'Indrara they are here just reviewing the rescue plan, as well verifying certain details with the communication and signalling equipment."
The answer let the healer very satisfied, and hears the man "Another question, how is Bruna's mother?" The healer responds while crossing his arms, "Sleeping,the soothing medicine I gave her did imediatly effect. "Brad smiles, "In other words sleeps like an Angel!" 10 minutes later all of them, except Brian and Sh'Indrara, were direct to the hangar, "good luck guys!"
Brian stays with Sh'Indrara, "Want some help Ooman? The boy smiled, "of course, it is always better than being alone."She keeps abreast of the rescue plan, but before ask to an ETA to watch Angelica's room and warn them in case she wakes up.
Moments later both are keeping an eye on communications, so that everything goes according to plan.

In the lab;
"Boss the Xenos loose ... we must ... destroy ..." Then hears a scream from the other side.
"Iaurrrrrrrrrrg ..."
The silence is absolute, then Damien sees that his men start getting restless due the silence of the communications, "All of you just heard what happened!" Mark stands out, "Yes we heard ... the Xenomorphs in the cells on the lower floors are loose." The villain look to them, containing the emotions, this problem has to be solved soon as possible or else everything may become out of control.
Mark look for others, then stares at the boss, he begins to shake his Uzi,towards them "I know how to use it, and if all of you disapoint me, I will use it on you." Mark feels that Damien is about to explode, until listens him, "How these beasts got loose?" Mark gives voice to his opinion, "it seems that these beasts are smart, about to become loose ..."
Damien begins to pass his hands in his hair, "it is impossible these beasts have some intelligence Mark, they're just monsters that act on instinct, are irrational beasts!" Mark doubt the words of his boss, the Xenos can be a formidable weapon but also are intelligent.
Probably should have noticed the routines of the scientists and of the handlers, including opening doors, "trial and error ... are smart." Mark's eyes are bulging when think about, "Oh no ... is impossible!" Damien begins to observe his employee, their reactions of what are facing, "what's up?" Mark tries to disguise, "it's not nothing Damien." He doubts Mark's words, but continues to hear, "I will send someone to investigate what really happened." There is something that is "stewing" Mark's head, "Damien, do we have any Queen among our Xenomorphs?"
The question echoes in the villain's head, what makes a little in doubt, "to be honest I have no idea!" Mark continues, "it is no accident that we went to Colombia to pick up those eggs and Xenos, but suppose one of those eggs can born a Queen?" Damien with his usual arrogance responds, "We control it as we do with others!" Mark begins to see the true nature of his boss, "Damien if there is a Queen in the eggs or inside of the blind girl, we're lost, are you can't be in control any more!"
Damien's anger is raising, "what are you implying? We don't control these irrational beasts?! " Mark looks at Damien, "exactly, it is the Queen who controls them, your brother tried it but ended very badly, were the Xenos who killed those people on Zuma, and there was a colony of them in the sewers.
At the end who controlled was the Queen, although Diamantin thought were in control, this for many years. "
Damien is speechless, "I met your brother, worked together for a few years and I saw what he did with those creatures, which is why the predators ended his research." Damien begins to see what's really going on, "I'm still working in my brother's researches, including my revenge against this blind girl and against predators." Mark looks at him nodding, "I see Damien." Then turns to the other men, "I'm going to investigate what's going on." He comes out of there going directly to the lower floors.
"Didn't you hear what Mark said. Let's end with those Predators before they end up with our precious Xenomorphs! " Steve asks, "and Mark?" Damien puts the uzi in front of him, "don't question me boy, Mark is on it ... are you deaf?" The other had to swallow and follow Damien's orders, if they don't want to take a bullet in the head.
"Probably we have a infiltred person here, probably it was him who let the Xenos run.
I want you to find him and bring him to my presence! I will treat him personally. " Steve begins to see what kind of person he is, cold, calculating, power-hungry, arrogant, and a killer without mercy, "Mark had the courage in having said what I had thought, I wouldn't do it, or I could took a bullet in my head."Steve has no choice but to follow his boss, "I want the heads of those Predators!" And quickly drifted away.

Mark instead of going to the lower floors, goes towards the room where Bruna is, which doesn't take long, when open the door saw something surprising, the parasite that had grabbed her lays dead, and the girl has no acid burns or anything, just the injuries that Damien had inflicted when she was questioned, she remains unconscious.
It's only been a few hours since the girl was infected, "she's only a few hours of life!"So look around seeing that the eggs have not yet opened, then grab a jug of gasoline that's in there, starting to pour it all over the place, including the eggs, then with a small torch, the gasoline catches fire, then grabs Bruna, and left the room, placing her safely, "it's not fair to you Miss. Woods, being tortured by a man without scruples, there was nothing I could do or he would kill me! Sorry if I made you suffer, at this time I did what I could, I burnt these eggs! "
He takes her to a sheltered zone, to the enfermary, "Here you are, Miss. Woods, I can only hope that you hold off a little longer." He lays her on the bed letting her rest at peace.
He comes out of there going straight to the lower floors, moments after he sees passing some men running in panic,"If you love your life, Mark I suggest you to run. The egg room is on fire, and the Xenos are loose." Another scientist just says, "Some bodies are hanging in the lower floors, the Predators who are out there have done a lot of damage." Mark just says, "I just want the situation!" Another scientist just say with panic, "Didn't hear us?! Things are not famous! " Mark makes the ask, "who set the Xenos loose?" An answer is heard, "Nobody released them, they escaped, they killed one of their own to make a hole in the ground, it seems they had it all planned out!"
Mark is very thoughtful, "Mark they always observed, which caused me chills. Another thing ... these beasts learn too fast, that's why they got loose. " He comes out of there going straight to the upper floors, "he's crazy, he's going to die." Mutters one of the scientists.
Mark runs like he never did, wants see with their own eyes the carnage that are there, he want to report what happened to Damien, but nothing to say he set fire to the eggs room, or who saved Bruna.
In fact begins to see the carnage, Xenos and human bodies scattered around the corridors, until he saw bodies hung without skin, "is the work of these Predators, can only be, even Xenos are dead, hacked off."Then hears a hiss, and he turns watching one of the Xenos, "Don't catch me so easily Critter from hell!" And with two shots finishes him. Then get a machete from one of the dead guards, "Well you won't need this my friend!" More Xenos appeared and Mark fight, don't want to get killed by them.
He is pinned against the wall for one of them, "Son of a bitch." The beast seems to realize, starting by examining the human, "Weird, why don't you attack?"He starts to examine with his eyes the Xenomorph, "I've never been this close to a Xeno! These beasts is supposed to kill their victims in the blinking of an eye." Suddenly the Xeno stay still, "I don't smell anything good, I wonder if ...?"With a fluid motion the beast attacks, and when Mark thinks it's the end, the Xeno falls lifeless to the ground, he looks up at one of the Unbloodeds, with his spear buried in the head of the beast, the poor human begins to tremble, fearing for his life.
Bakuub begins to observe the human, knows that he had killed some Xenos, but he has to be on alert, because humans tend to attack the unknown without being provoked.
Then remove the spear from the Xeno's head who lies dead on the floor, and moments later put it on the back, "I just hope the Ooman understands that it can't harm."And begins to study it in more detail and recognizes him, he is one of the humans who captured them near the Pyramids and took them and the female Ooman to the Kainde Ametha eggs, starting to get in the mood to finish him, starting to show his displeasure towards the male Ooman.
Mark when sees the Predator making some strange sounds, fears for his life, but still didn't attack until it realizes what is happening, the Predator recognized him and isn't satisfied.
What he can do, to not be killed by him, so he takes a deep breath putting his hands in front making some gestures, to say that he don't want harm anyone.
When Bakuub sees that he is not attacking but showing that don't want, begins to relax, but not completely, and the Ooman's body language show, that he recognized him, perhaps wants to redeem himself of his errors? Then puts his hand on the Ooman's shoulder assuring him that won't do anything for the time being.
Mark breathes of relief, how the Predator understands body language? The answers will be discovered later, now has to escape unharmed from the Xenos's attacks and ...Damien, "Now I saw that due Damien's arrogance, everything is falling apart, and if I want to redeem myself I have to prove to this predator and Miss. Woods I'm sorry." Mark grabs his machete and uzi putting at the waist, and thenlooks to Bakuub,
"My friend let's get out of here!" And both ran out going straight to the cages and laboratories.
####
Both were seen by Steve who was also in the vicinity and decides to follow them, "after all the traitor is Mark ... but it is impossible because when the Xenos got loose, was with us." He begins to have an inner struggle, feels he should not say nothing to Damien, knows it is certain death for Mark, and the older man is a very rightful person, but just don't understand why he started to get involved with the wrong people, until remembers something he heard months earlier when both were alone.
Flashback
Mark was looking at some papers in the archives when appears Steve, "what's up?" The young recruit responds, "the boss wants your presence immediately." Then notices a file he has on hand, "what are you going to do with this Mark?" He puts a finger on the lips, "Shhh, don't say a word about this Steve, Damien doesn't know I'm here." The young raises an eyebrow interrogated, "He may not know who I am as a matter of fact, nor his late brother knew!"
The other raises his brow, but what's going on there? What Mark hides from everyone, so listen, "I'm one of the few survivors from the squad that was wiped out by Xenos for about 8 years." The other is in shock, "How did you survive?"
Mark responds by displaying a tag with some weird teeth, "I killed a few facehugers and a adult Xenomorph, that's how I survived, but I couldn't do anything to save my comrades from their fate, and I want to avenge the death of all of them, included Eric Woods, which has a blind sister who also had a hard time due these Beasts from hell and Diamantin."
Steve doesn't know what to say, "that's why I joined Diamantin and later to Damien, and due all this I had to do some very unorthodox stuff." Steve gets to understand what's going on, "well Mark I will be on your side, but if I see that you're out of line I take care of you personally." Mark smiled at him while he reaches out to promptly was shaked by Steve, "Done."
End of Flashback
He continues to observe them repairing that both make a great team, smiling to himself, "I think I will follow your example, none tell Damien, he is a criminal who deserves to be brought to justice." And continues to run through the hallways until he receives a statement;
"Steve why you walked away from my group?" It loads the comlink which is situated in the ear, "decided to do a little investigating on my own boss." The voice on the other end is taken aback but still talking, "here is a total carnificine and it seems that these beasts know what they're doing, and smells fishy." On the other side hears, "what do you mean Steve? Explain yourself immediately! "Steve begins to look to the walls of the complex, "the walls are covered with resin ... " The dialogue is cut with an almost inaudible hiss, Steve hides from view of possible Xenos and Predators, and begins to see many Xenos to follow a defined direction, quietly follow them with a machete in hand.
The walk takes about 10 minutes, when he sees something that frightens him, in all its splendor is a Xenomorph, bigger than the others, has a huge Crest and an immense ovipositor, notices there are drones to take care of her and eggs coming out.
"The Queen." Damien continues calling, and Steve moves away from the area as soon as possible, before it was caught by Xenos, and there was one who tried to sound the alarm, but he arranged to kill it with the machete before proceeding.
"What's the matter Steve?"He answers while hiding from danger, "Happened what was feared Boss." Damien when he hears that starts getting nervous, and hold his Uzi, "I want to know what's happening, says Steve what you saw?"Steve gives a simple answer;
"The Queen."
Damien doesn't know what to do, if the eggs are hatched and the little parasites walk around loose is a matter of time until everyone on the premises and in the remaining Island are contaminated or killed by Xenos, a decision has to be taken, and he knows exactly what to do.
Damien goes to the upper floors as soon as possible, more precisely to the control room but was intercepted by a Xeno, who begins to assess the human, and when goes for the attack receives two clean shots to the head, "you're no match for me, vermin!"
It's just a matter of time before the villain gets to the control room, and then launches the alarm for the entire complex, but doesn't activate the self-destruct, he wants to preserve the Queen,his arrogance knows no bounds.
Then send the best men to the location where the Queen is, wants to capture her soon as possible and kill the eggs and their larvae in the process.
In the lower floors Mark and Bakuub joined the other Unbloodeds, and heard the alarms, "we gotta get out of here." But Bakuub just nod his head, and Mark understands soon, they want to kill all the Xenos are there and sighs, "Ok, I'm with you."
But hears the familiar voice of Steve, "I never thought you join forces to these bastards, but if it's for a good cause I will align." Mark asks, "what's going on so that the alarms were connected?" An answer is heard, "there is a colony of Xenos very close from this point, and is being controlled by a Queen, that's why Damien did sound the alarm." Mark just says with some distrust, "Damien will do everything to capture the Queen, and that will highlight their best men." Steve sighs worried, "His arrogance knows no bounds, evacuates the facilities but will not turn on self-destruction, he knows the danger but refuses to destroy the plague."
Then look him in the eye, "what are you going to do? Since you have here a team of weight. " Mark looks at Steve and Predators, "Mend what has been done ... Let's finish with the Queen and send these facilities blown up." Steve smiled, "well, follow me."
Mark signal to predators to follow Steve, Bakuub realized soon saying to others, "hunt brothers, let's follow the Oomans, it seems there must be something worth hunting."One of the Unbloodedds question Bakuub with a mixture of curiosity, " why don't you kill them? If you know that they're the ones responsible for our capture. "Bakuub replies, " they will be our way out, and because they are giding us directly to the Kainde Ametha Hive . "The others are satisfied with the answer, and they don't have any more questions.
At that time the priority of all of them is to make the Shiva without problems, while humans want to get out of there alive and end up with Damien's evil intentions.
Elsewhere in the complex Damien is in the control room watching every move including Mark group, "so... Mark decided to betray me, well he's not going to get out of here alive."And punch the console, dropping even more Xenos, " AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Now you will see who I really am! "
Ok folks this time Bruna is safe, she had some help from a unexpected allie, Mark
Why he did this? Very simple he knews Eric and was a good friend, part of the explanation is on this chapter, but I'll tell you more on later chapters ok?
Right now all want to escape from the Xenos, but Damien due his arrogance stayed behind!
Relax Bruna will be saved soon.
Stay alert for the next chapter.
I appreciate constructive reviews, thank you very much!
