Rated M for possible violence, blood and death
Disclaimer: AVP don't belong to me but to their makers, only Bruna the blind and the plot are mine
This time Bruna has to fight to stay alive, but in other way... to keep the little parasite inside, will use her training in martial arts, read to discover that.
The others are on their way to save her, but they have to trust in Brian and Sh'Indrara surveillance, but things will heat up a while.
Right now let's on with the story!
On alert
On the Mothership Brian continues to check what's going on down there, Sh'Indrara notice that the human is getting a little tired, then turns to him, "I think you should take a little break." The boy gets up from his seat, "I can't Sh'Indrara, the lives of my friends are in danger." She notices that he's a little stubborn, but nothing says, "you know what I want right now?" She gets surprised with what I just heard, "Eat anything, I'm starving!" She smiles, "I will ask an ETA to bring food and drink for both of us." Brian sits, "Then asks that Naxa juice." Moments later an ETA is called, Sh'Indara gives its orders, and the other obeys without complaining.
"Look at the monitor Ooman, here's a strange sign!" The man checks what's going on, "Actually you're right, Bruna's sign is stronger and it isn't everything, it seems that there are problems in the underground complex." She really notice the sign of her patient, "Actually you're right Ooman, but is short live, this means that the facehuger fell, Bruna can be minutes or hours of life, I can't say for sure."
Brian starts trying to access the cameras from the complex, "is it possible to access the complex surveillance cameras?" She gets serious for him, "our technology is much more advanced than yours, yes it is possible." He listens to the explanation and after a few minutes he get a clear image of the complex interior, and shortly after begin to examine every detail, "things are not famous." Sh'Indrara raises an eyebrow intrigued, "are in stampede, there's something in there."
The Yautja's technology is very advanced, it has to be if they want to be aware of the movements of their prey. Want to be a step forward if want to have the best prey, not to speak in getting the best females to carry their offspring.
And right now this technology is being used to help others out of danger, and in spite of the human that is in front of the console not understand the Yautjan symbols, manages to unravel what's going on with a little help from Sh'Indrara.
While examining the communications and the images appears the ETA with a platter full of food and drinks, and when the smell comes to Brian's nose, "Well I think our friend ETA brings our meal." He takes some fruit, "thank you my friend." ETA makes a bow and goes out leaving the two eating.
"I really needed to get some res tot my eyes!" Sh'Indrara nibbles a bit of naxa fruit, "you can be sure that Ooman, you're no good to me if you're tired.
Don't forget I'm the healer from this place. " He raises an eyebrow, "To me you're a good doctor, not a mere healer." And both continue to eat while they have a very nice conversation.
15 minutes later ...
"Now, we have to get back to work, the lives of our friends depend on us both!" She responds while sits, "I completely agree with you ... Brian. " The boy is satisfied because she called by his name knowing that won't last long.
Both begin to hear communications as well as the pictures very carefully, until they noticed something, "As you said previously Bruna's signal is too strong, it seems to me that has been moved to another location." So begins the access to complex images, "Humm ... strange, there's a fire in one of the rooms." He zooms the image when realize, "the eggs and facehugers are destroyed and can confirm that Bruna's not here!" He continues to examine the images from surveillance cameras until he can find out Bruna's whereabouts, "She has been moved to a secure area, and by the look of the room, I guess she's in the infirmary, which is on the first floor."
Sh'Indrara begins to examine Bruna's figure, "For as long I know she's OK, I don't see any signs of the Facehuger have" born." " Brian nod, "no doubt." There is another thing that captures their attention, "the alarm is sounding, it seems that something's not right." Sh'Indrara look at another image, "The Ooman are in total stampede, but in the lower floors there are ..." Brian looks at the same image, "...Xenomorphs, lots of it!
The lower floors are infested by Xenomorphs, is why someone triggered the alarm, but didn't turned the self-destruction. " They continue to view the images, do not want to believe what they see, a total carnage.
"This is crazy, Sh'Indrara, this Damien is insane how he allowed something like this?! I almost bet he's safe! " There was a movement that was caught out of the corner of his eye, "The Unbloodeds are fine, and from what I can see, are accompanied by two Ooman and appears to go in direction of something." Brian turns, "they colected trophies,Xeno heads and fingers , but as it's so dark I couldn't see if they have the Blooded mark or not."
But what makes species to Brian is the fact that the 7 Unbloodeds are accompanied by two men fully armed, "Could be allies? I doubt that Damien knows. " By speaking in person in question Brian begins to examine the images, start by looking for the villain's whereabouts, "where is that son of a bitch?" He stumbles unwittingly in the control room, what makes him really happy, "well, well our friend is here! That there should be security.
I bet he's watching everything! Including the Xenos slaughtering all those people. " The female Yautja asks the boy, "what are you going to do now Ooman?" Brian was right, it was too good she had called him by name and sighs while responds, "Talking with our friends!"

Near the complex.
"Something doesn't smell right to me C 'Tack." Said Brad, the Yautja looks to the human who is getting a bit restless, "I don't know what's going on in there, we've been here about 5hours watching this complex and it seems that there is something out of place!" C ' Tack doesn't realize what's happening until the human receives a statement, "Brad can you hear me?" The lifeguard responds, "I'm listening you Brian, what's wrong?" Brian responds with a more serious voice, " there's trouble in the underground complex!"Brad frowning, "Explains Brian, what kind of problems?" Brian starts to report, " there is a fire inside the complex, and you won't believe ... the eggs that were inside the place that is on fire were completely destroyed." Brad smiles, but gets serious again, "and Bruna?" Brian smiled saying, "Wait a minute, haven't gotten there.
From what I could hear in communications and video images from the complex, the Xenos are slaughtering people who are on the lower floors and probably infected a few more. "Brad asks, "I suppose there's a Queen in complex..." C ' Tack stops Brad, "If there is a Queen in the lower levels, means that there will be Praetorians." The two humans they exclaim, "How?!Praetorians between Xenos?! " C ' Tack explains, "Are the Queen's gards ,and I can tell you both that aren't like the others you've met until now, they are as if they were the bodyguards of the Queen, not only to defend but also can copulate with her.
I can tell you they are fearsome opponents, Ooman, wouldn't have a chance against a Praetorian. " Brad responds, "Oh, I see, but if I have to lose my life, to save a friend, I will fight." Brian retrieves a little breath, "thanks for the info C Tack, but not yet finished, it seems the self-destruct feature hasn't been activated by Damien who finds himself safely in the control room.
I think he wants to capture the Queen, if trully exists a hive or other thing like that." Brad asks the same question, "and Bruna?" Brian responds, "She's in the infirmary which is situated on the first floor, apparently put there purposely." Brad breathe of relief, "thank heavens she's okay." Then turns to the Yautjas, "we have an ally in there." After telling to C'Tack which continues on to Brian, "Bruna is safe in the infirmary but is infected by the parasite." C ' Tack starts to get restless, "She should have a few minutes or a few hours of life Brad, we must hurry!" R ' Kahr just says to C' Tack, "we've been here for hours watching this place, when do we get in?" C ' Tack responds a little impatient, "in a few moments old friend, the human is giving us very precious information, vital to the success of our mission." The conversation is interrupted by Brad brings a big smile, "your Unbloodeds are fine and are 2 men with them, apparently made a truce with them to get out unharmed.
Another thing, they brought some trophies, and go to the lower levels, probably looking for the Queen. " C ' Tack back to R ' Kahr and Ma'Ruack, "our Unblooded are well, it seems they've already completed the Shiva, now they're going after the Queen, want to bring honor to the clan."The Yautja listens to Brad, "by the way, how's Mrs. Woods?" On the other side just listen, "sleeping like an Angel, the drug that their doctor gave her worked like a charm, she will not wake up so early."
The news they heard cannot be best, Brad looks to C' Tack that promptly begins to translate into all of them, "Guys let's invade that shithole!" Brad says with a smirk on his lips.

Inside the complex...
"I'm not in that horrible room." Mumbles Bruna, then puts her hand on the chest, "I feel something inside of me." Actually the small Xeno moves a bit, "Really I was infected with these parasites, but I will not die." The memory comes out, it is recalled to have helped the Unbloodeds to become loose and something has grabbed at her face, then recalled something else important, "the dream I had." A tear rolls by face, "Eric was my guide." Slowly get out of bed touching all over the place, " I'm in a place that smells like a hospital, should probably be in some infermery or something like that."Bruna's keen senses begin to detect all kinds of smells,"Really I am still within this complex, the smell of sulfur says it all.
Now I wonder, who brought me here? I need to find out before this little pest burst out of my chest. " She hasn't finished the sentence when the ventilation hatch on the ceiling falls, and then jumps a Xeno to the ground, smelling what's around it until gives by the blind's girl presence, and quickly goes to her, just like that is pinned against the wall, and begins to panic, and notices that's hissing"He's going to kill me without I can do anything!" She trembles all over, she had never felt so helpless as at that moment, but for her sake decides to stay very quiet or else can be killed by the Xeno.
He begins to feel the girl with it's second set of jaws, feels that the human skin is very soft and tastes like salt, and feels a mix of emotions too weird for a Xeno, when realizes she is blind as he, is being a little apprehensive.
The Xeno does something unexpected, puts his head in the girl's chest, which leaves her surprised and a thought pervades her mind, "He isn't trying to kill me, what is he doing?" Things start going very quickly and moments later the Xeno comes out fast as it came leaving Bruna stunned, stayed without knowing what happened during those 5 minutes, "But what gave him?" She breathes relief to be alive.
By touch begins to make the recognition of the room, until arriving at the door and tries to give the knob but without avail, "darn, now I can't get out of here, who locked me here?!" She doesn't have a clue, then decides to put her senses on full alert.
Start by picking up all kinds of sounds and smells and focuses the energies that emanate from that location, "Strange something doesn't feel right, feel panic everywhere, and if my keen smell didn't fool me, something is burning.
I wonder who set fire on this complex? " After sitting in bed thinking about the burning smell, "who did it probably should know why he did it." After smile, "Eh ... I have to thank the one who saved me."
Start to feel the typical pain from parasite trying to burst through the ribs, due to pain puts her hand on the chest,so decides enter in meditation to see if can delay the parasite "birth".
Little by little it starts to get into a trance and the pain was disapearing, and she felt relief, it seems that the little xeno quieted down, "thanks God! When I get that Damien, I'll give him the lesson of his life. " And smirks, imagine him begging not to hit him, "Feh ... then I'll make a trophy from his head." Not that she wanted to kill him, but people like Damien deserve it, but he should have a good time at their hands before turn him to justice.
She remembers well of its vibrations, the day she met him, he was so full of hate, he said she was the one who killed his brother and was absolved. Remembered well his words, even her mother was admired with his hatred.
Preferred in forget everything, it's better to not interfering on her dailly life, but has faith that the friends will come take her out of that horrible place and away from Damien.
With all that meditation forgets that her life is at risk, due the small parasite being quiet.

Elsewhere ...
"It was easy to get in." Referred C' Tack, while Brad encircles the interior with the look, "They must have run away, nor is there a Welcoming comitee, and the alarm hasn't stoped ! " And stick a finger in the ear, on the other hand C ' Tack is surprised with the response he just heard moments before, "first, let's start by looking for the infirmary and take Bruna out of here." The Yautja is questioned, "at least you know where it is?" He put the thumbs up, "on the first floor, Brian managed to access the images on this site." C ' Tack starts to run but the human calls him, "relax, you can still lose!" The Yautja didn't hear, Brad and the other Yautjas were after him, "he's crazy!" The boy Mumbles.
Ahead appear Xenos, and these are much bigger, and as expected the opponents are getting an impasse, Brad starts getting chills, "Are these the Praetorians? These motherfukers are huge, the others compared to them are microbes! "He continues to observe others, and remember something that C'Tack told moments earlier, " This mean that we must be near the Queen!"
That standoff lasted a few more minutes until one of the Praetorians begins to attack them, and as expected the Yautjas begin to defend themselves including Brad and Ch hkt-a , both could kill a couple of them, despite being lethal.
C'Tack turns to Brad, "These are the Queen's guards and as you noticed can be quite lethal, you need to be very careful and prepared for the attacks!" The boy nod, "Roger that, we're very close to the Queen, I suppose." C ' Tack defends itself from the xeno's attacks responding, "I doubt Brad, we're going to go to the 1st floor, and according to Brian, the Queen may be in lower floors."
Brad notices something in one of the Praetorians, "These are different, have a number engraved in one of the shoulders." And it's suspicious, "they must have been set out to get us." And manages to stab another.
Both were surrounded by a few more, Brad doesn't panic because knows what can be done, then evaluates them because he doesn't want to be caught unprepared, "These sons of bitches do not play, but I'm not going to perish!" C'Tack is satisfied because never thought that Brad killed a Xeno of that caliber very easily.
But both break the siege and went out of there, to go with the others who continue to fight against the xenos in question, and had trophies to the mix, and the Unblooded is pleased about it, he had already passed his Shiva, Brad realizes and gives him a salutation by touching him on the shoulder, which leaves the other puzzled, C'Tack sees the Young Blood expression, '"the Ooman just congratulate you."Brad breathe of relief, due that the young Yautja puts his hand on the man's shoulder in thanks.
Everyone keeps their walk to the infirmary, but along the way are finding drones and facehugers, and are being killed by the group, did not want to be infected or attacked by xenos.
Bruna on the other hand remains in deep meditation, she wants to survive until the friends arrive, and while the little parasite is numb, but her mind continues to work, her unwavering faith in his friends.
She is absorbed, oblivious to everything but feels positive energies coming near her room and outlines a little smile, since the energies were known.
"My friends will get me out of this dump."And outlines a little smile.
My God, the Praetorians appeared but our friends managed in kill them, they are bigger than the average Xenos.
But these Praetorians have a number, why? Due Damiens greed.
Bruna has faith that the friends will save her from that slum, but has to keep the little Xeno sleepy with her meditation.
I appreciate constructive reviews, thank you very much!
