Tanya felt pressured, really pressured. She hadn't been this pressured since the World War. The Alien before her was really strong. Too strong for her to run away and expose her back. Calming herself, Tanya relaxed. She had better chances of surviving if she kept a cool head.

She reached down and got some acid from a Xenomorph corpse. Bone Viper did not waver in his charge. It was strange, very strange, was he really confident in dodging the acid at such a close range?

Tanya threw all the acid in her hands at an odd angle. Bone Viper parried them all. She quickly got more acid and threw them all. Bone Viper again parried them all. Moving her hands quickly, Tanya threw a barrage of acids at Bone Viper. With confidence, Bone Viper parried them all.

Tanya charged in and stabbed her spear forward. Bone Viper parried her spear. She shot her tail and he parried it. She spewed acid from her mouth and he dodged it. The alien before her seemed untouchable.

Bone Viper stabbed his spear forward. Tanya tried to block with her hand but was too slow. She could only move her head back as Bone Viper's spear almost pierced her skull. An acidic vertical line formed on the left side of Tanya's face. It was her first injury in this world.

Tanya got down on all six and leaped a great distance. Bone Viper wondered if she was fleeing. Tanya grabbed Allen's sniper and aimed.

"Die!"

Bone Viper tried to dodge, but unfortunately for Bone Viper, Tanya was one of the best sharpshooters in her second life. The bullet tore through a small part of Bone Viper's stomach. Tanya had gotten rusty.

Shurikens from Bone Feather flew towards Tanya and she jumped into the air. She aimed the sniper toward Bone Feather. Shuriken from Bone Hawk came in and she was forced to dodge and parry them with her tail.

The four aliens along with Vale surrounded her. Tanya knew she could not win this fight. Especially with the few remaining Xenomorphs.

There was shaking and a Xenomorph Queen charged into battle with three Praetorians, she screeched. That was enough distraction for Tanya to get the fuck out. Bone Viper and Bone Hawk fired their Plasmacaster at Tanya but she dodged away.

The two roared angrily at the Xenomorph Queen. She had disturbed their battle. For that, she would pay. Bone Viper threw his spear and the Xenomorph Queen parried it with her tail. In his anger and fatigue from his fight with Tanya, he momentarily lost the capability to unleash his full power.

The Xenomorph Queen and her Praetorians along with many other Xenomorphs attacked. Bone Viper activated another spear and fought against two Praetorians. The Praetorians stalled him with no intention of letting him harm their Queen.

Another Praetorian along with the Queen charged at Bone Hawk. He was forced to fight the two. Other Xenomorphs rushed in to attack Bone Striker and Bone Feather.

Vale was backed against a tree as multiple Xenomorphs rushed at him. There was a shaking and another Xenomorph Queen appeared with a screech. The two Queens looked at each other and made a tactical agreement. They would finish the Yautja first. The two screeched and all surrounding Xenomorphs proceeded to only focus on attacking the Yautjas. Vale let out a breath of relief.

Bone Striker and Bone Feather desperately fended off the Xenomorphs. Bone Viper and Bone Hawk mowed down multiple Xenomorphs while fending off attacks from the Praetorians and the Queens. They couldn't charge any strong attacks to kill the Queens with all the Xenomorphs around. Without a doubt, the four Yautjas would die today.

Up above, Elder Claw had a choice, he could either chase after the four-armed Praetorian or protect his family. In the end, he had grown soft. The four-armed Praetorian could be fought at another time while his family would never be seen again if they died.

Elder Claw went down from the ship right above a Queen. The Queen looked up and Elder Claw cleaved her skull in half with the blades around his body. A Praetorian came in and he jumped kick its skull in half.

Multiple Xenomorphs Warrior rushed in from around him and he spun. The Xenomorph Warriors fell with acids spewing into the air. Not a single drop of acid touched Elder Claw. Two Crushers charged at Elder Claw and he went between them with blades punched into their body. The two Crushers fell and acid oozed out of them.

The last remaining Queen from Tanya's hive knew she could not survive a battle with the Yautja before her. Especially when Xenomorphs from the other hive were fleeing since their Queen fell. The Queen turned and tried to flee. Unfortunately for her, Bone Viper had already charged a strong attack and threw his spear. The spear tore into the Xenomorph Queen's body and she fell to the ground. She screeched desperately. Her Xenomorphs rushed in and desperately tried to protect her.

Elder Claw charged in and diced up the Xenomorphs. His sons joined in and helped. After a while, only the Queen was left. Elder Claw punched a blade into her skull and she became lifeless.

Vale looked around numb. The battle was over, it was finally over. He had survived somehow. It was amazing, he had never felt so alive. Maybe, just maybe, he could go home.

Bone Viper walked up to his son. His son was scarred and heavily injured. Even more scarred and heavily injured was his nephew Bone Feather, the Yautja had done his best to defend his cousin. Elder Claw came before the two and clicked.

"From now on, you two are Blooded within our Bone Clan. Be proud, you are strong."

Bone Feather and Bone Striker looked at each other. The two roared joyfully and proudly. They had survived, they had lived, they would continue on! As for Bone Striker legs which were no more, their technology could fix that.
