AN:
Tanya looked around at the captured humans. Most of them were unconscious but some of them were awake. Those who were awake were terrified of the sight around them. They were in a Xenomorph hive and they knew what would happen next.
Luckily for them though, the Queen hadn't laid any eggs yet. Without any eggs, there wouldn't be any Facehuggers for the humans. It wouldn't last for long though, the Queen was currently chomping at biological materials. Once she gathered enough, she would start laying eggs.
A huge hulking Xenomorph came into the room. It was the former Warrior now a Praetorian. It bowed before the Queen. The Queen hissed and the Praetorian understood. It was to lead a group of Drones and attack the enemy hive.
With a Praetorian in the lead, they would be able to cut down the numbers of the enemy hive. As long as there was no other Praetorian or something of similar strength, they would have the battle advantage. Once they outnumbered the enemy hive from continuous attacks, they would then rush into the hive and eliminate the Queen along with the hive.
The Praetorian roared and multiple Xenomorohs around answered it. Tanya also felt the call and answered it. With that, the Praetorian led the Xenomorphs out of the hive. They traveled through the jungle quickly. After a while, they reached the enemy hive.
A Runner spotted them and screeched. The Praetorian roared and the Drones around rushed in. Multiple Xenomorphs rushed out of the enemy hive and the battle began.
Warriors battled against the Praetorian but couldn't do much damage against its mesoskeleton. With its immense strength, the Praetorian grabbed a Warrior and tore it apart. The Warriors around screeched and continued attacking. They couldn't afford to fail against the Praetorian.
Seeing the dire situation, one of the Runners ran into the hive. It quickly reported the situation to the Queen with a screech. The Queen quickly understood its hive was losing the battle against the Praetorian. It would have to step up to turn the tides.
With a great screech, the Queen pulled herself out of her egg sac. She charged out of the hive with multiple Xenomorphs beside her. With their Queen, the Praetorian would be no match for them.
Outside, the Praetorian sensed the incoming enemy Queen. It screeched and the other Xenomorohs around understood. They gathered around the Praetorian and prepared to kill the enemy Queen. If they succeeded, then they would have basically won the war for their hive.
Tanya didn't join and hid up in a tree. She watched as the enemy Queen rushed out of the hive with a screech. The Praetorian screeched and rushed at the enemy Queen with the Xenomorphs around it. Their target was only the enemy Queen. The surrounding enemy Xenomorphs didn't matter. All the sacrifice would be worth it if they killed the Queen.
The Queen slammed the Praetorian to the ground. The Praetorian roared and the Xenomorphs around jumped on the Queen to attack. The enemy Xenomorphs around tried to stop them.
Seeing the Queen distracted, the Praetorian quickly got up and slammed itself into the right leg of the Queen. The Queen's leg stood strong but she fell. The Praetorian didn't waste the opportunity and tore at the Queen with its claw.
The Queen screeched with pain and the enemy Xenormoprhs around rushed at the Praetorian. They were blocked by other Xenomorphs. Screeches from the Queen rang in the air as the Praetorian continuously swung its claws.
The Queen seemed to have enough and impaled the Praetorian with its tail. The Praetorian roared with pain and swung its own tail into the wounds it had inflicted on the Queen. The Queen screeched with pain and flung the Praetorian away with its tail.
Seeing the opened wound on the Queen, the Xenomorphs around rushed in and tore at her. One by one, multiple Xenomorphs fell. The Queen was on the verge of death.
Suddenly, two Predators appeared and started killing any Xenomorphs around. The sight stunned the Xenomorphs for a moment but they quickly recovered and rushed to attack the two Predators.
Unfortunately, they were no match, their number had already dwindled too far. The two Predators tore at the Xenomorphs and easily took them all down.
When they were done, they checked the Queen. The two couldn't have the Queen dying so early. It wouldn't be a good hunt if one of the hives won too early. From their scans, they could see that the Queen would recover after a while.
The Praetorian got up. The two Predators looked at it. It knew it couldn't win and decided to retreat. The Predators didn't bother chasing after it. Tanya followed after the Praetorian.
The two returned to the hive and reported what had happened. The Queen seemed to hissed with hatred. The two Yautja had brought her to this planet. A planet full of life and for the taking. A planet she planned on conquering and ruling alone.
The Queen hissed at Tanya and she understood. Tanya moved towards the Queen. The Queen produced some Royal Jelly and Tanya ate it. It seemed the Queen was impatient. With the Queen and two Praetorians, they should be able to take down those two Yautja.
Workers gathered around Tanya and guided her. She would be taken somewhere to transform. Tanya followed after them and was led to a spot to transform. As Tanya transformed, she thought of the two Yautja.
They seemed like an advanced alien race. She did not know what they sought but she would make sure to learn more of them. A life of retirement where she could relax. She would have to kill the Queen and become ruler of her own hive.
Outside the hive, the injured Queen went back into her hive. It wasn't over yet. She would make her own Praetorians and crush both the Yautjas and the enemy Queen.
