Chapter 29
Teresagatan
Michael enters through the outer gate and he sees that the elevator is down at ground level and he enters the elevator and presses button 4. Michael could have gone up the stairs but he is lazy and besides both he and Sven have walked a lot today and Michael is a bit tired in his feet, so he chooses to take the elevator.
The apartment building was built at the beginning of the 20th century but has been modernized since then and the elevator car itself is not very old but the elevator shaft itself is old fashioned and has an older construction with unprotected rolling cables by the elevator motor and when Michael presses the button the long steel cables are rolled around a giant roller which is next to the elevator motor. There are four cables on each side of the elevator motor so there are a total of eight steel cables that help pull the elevator up. Two of the steel cables are very worn and have almost broken off, but it is not noticeable. The company that does annual inspections of the elevator has not discovered how bad the two cables are. There is a strong emergency brake under the elevator car itself, but it has not worked for many years, so if all the cables break, there is nothing to prevent the elevator car from plunging down the elevator shaft.
The elevator shaft is usually empty but it has an unwelcome visitor today. The alien queen's warriors placed two eggs outside the second outer gate which is one floor above ground level. The outer gate leads to a large yard where there is a larger playground but also a soccer field where the young people usually hang out.
The first Alien egg was opened the previous night and a guest of the Rutger family was attacked by a facehugger and a Chestburster exploded from the guest's chest but luckily Henry Rutger managed to kill the monster before it became an adult Alien. Unfortunately, the Rutgers family's balcony broke due to the caustic blood, but the Chestburster died. Michael does not know what has happened at the Rutger family. He doesn't know them even though they live in the same apartment building as him,
The second Alien egg was opened shortly after Reine went down to the bottom floor. It's a youth with an electric scooter who comes close to driving right into the egg because he's not paying attention. The egg opens but the youth enters through the outer gate but leaves the gate open and he goes up to the third floor. The Facehugger jumps out of the egg and makes its way into the stairwell. Once there, it crawls around on the ground and manages to get into the elevator shaft through a larger gap in a partially broken wall that is right next to the elevator and it crawls up the long elevator cables.
The facehugger is at the cables that are between floor four and five when Michael presses the elevator button and the facehuggers body is pulled higher and higher towards the giant roller that collects the elevator cables. The facehuggers body is pulled higher and higher and after a short while, two of its long digits are stuck between the cables and yellow blood begins to drip from its digits. The yellow blood lands on the cables closest to the facehuggers digits and they begin to be corroded by the blood. The cables continue to be rolled up and a few seconds later the facehuggers body is right on top of the giant roller and its body is crushed by the weight of the cables. The elevator jerks when the facehuggers body is crushed, but Michael is used to this elevator jerking sometimes. The facehuggers yellow blood sprays everywhere in the elevator shaft and it sprays right into the elevator's electric motor and short-circuits it. The electric motor starts to smoke heavily and stops. The elevator has stopped between floor two and three.
Michael notices the elevator stops and he frantically presses the elevator buttons but nothing happens. Michael knows it's not a power outage because the light in the elevator is still on so he guesses it must be stuck somewhere. Michael has never been stuck in this elevator before and he already finds it uncomfortable.
The steel cable that is closest to the facehuggers body is among those that were most worn and it comes loose after barely a minute and falls onto the roof of the elevator car. The elevator car shakes as the cable lands on the metal roof and Michael gets so scared that he jumps in fear as he feels the elevator car shake and hears the loud thud and he looks up at the elevator roof worriedly. The yellow blood that is on the steel cable that has landed on the elevator car begins to corrode the metal ceiling of the elevator and Michael can faintly hear the metal being corroded but he doesn't know that is what he is hearing. The facehuggers yellow blood has started to drip onto the elevator roof and is causing it to start corroding in several different places including where the broken cable is. The yellow blood eats through the thin metal roof and penetrates parts of the elevator lamp and the lamp soon begins to flash violently as gray foul-smelling smoke seeps out from its sides. Michael looks up at the flickering and smoking lamp.
Perfect. As if being stuck in the elevator wasn't bad enough.
The fuse that goes to the lamp trips because there is an electrical fault in the lamp and it becomes completely dark in the elevator car. A little light from the elevator shaft seeps in at a few places, but Michael can't see more than a blinking red light by the elevator buttons. If Michael presses the red light an elevator alarm goes off and Michael starts to walk towards the red light but he hears a sizzling sound above his head and he moves from the very spot he is standing on. The sizzling gets louder and soon light seeps in from three holes in the ceiling. In the meantime, the facehuggers blood corrodes another cable and when the cable finally breaks, a loud screeching sound is heard throughout the elevator shaft and a few seconds later the broken cable lands on the roof of the elevator car with a loud bang and the elevator car rocks violently. Michael stands near the elevator door just in case.
What the hell is going on? Was that one of the elevator cables that broke?
When the second lift cable breaks, two other lift cables start to press harder against the facehuggers body and they also make several holes in its body. More yellow blood starts to spray out from the facehugger and a large part of the blood lands on the roof of the elevator car and Michael watches as there are more and more holes in the roof and after a very short while there is a very large hole in the roof. One of the nearly corroded elevator cables that has come loose crashes into the elevator car and is very close to landing on Michael. There is still corrosive blood left on the elevator cable landing in the elevator car and the floor Michael is standing on is also beginning to corrode. The holes in the ceiling are getting wider and Michael understands what has happened.
Michael decides to call for help so he can get out of the elevator before it's too late and he presses the red button. After a few seconds, a voice is heard from a speaker near the red button.
- Elevator service ab. What has happened?
- Well, I'm stuck in an elevator at Teresagatan 12 and I think several elevator cables are coming loose. It's a small Alien stuck in the elevator shaft and it's bleeding corrosive acid.
- Oops, that doesn't sound so good. I'll send a team right away. What floor is the elevator stuck on?
- Between floors two and three, I think.
The two steel cables that press against the facehuggers body smoke heavily as they are corroded and finally they break and there are loud bangs throughout the elevator shaft and whoever MIchael is talking to also hears the loud noises. Michael is starting to get a little nervous.
- It would be good if your team could hurry.
- We call the fire department and the rescue service in case we don't make it in time. They have equipment so they can pull you up from the elevator car. I'll call them right away and tell them what's going on.
- Good. I stand as close to the door as I can.
- It's good because then there will be less strain on the elevator car.
The two broken steel cables land on top of the elevator car roof and one of the cables penetrates through the largest hole and large amounts of corrosive acid drips from the cable and the floor MIchael is standing on begins to smoke and corrode. Michel walks away from the speaker and stands even closer to the door than he did before. Michael can hear several of the other elevator cables sizzling and creaking and when he looks straight up to where the elevator cables are he can see the facehuggers crushed body and large amounts of yellow blood still dripping from it. The corrosive blood lands on both the elevator cables but also on the floor of the elevator car and the hole in the elevator car is getting wider. There is an even louder crackle from the elevator cables as more corrosive blood lands on them and they are corroded even faster.
I don't want to die. Not like this anyway
The sounds from the breaking and cracking elevator cables have attracted several of the residents of the apartment building and they stand in different places in the stairs talking to each other and they wonder what is going on. Another elevator cable breaks due to being corroded by the facehuggers blood and the broken elevator cable falls through the hole in the elevator car ceiling and down through the hole in the elevator car itself and disappears into the elevator shaft below the elevator car. Michael walks towards the big hole in the ceiling and looks up at the elevator cables and some of the facehuggers yellow blood lands in his hair and it starts to smoke heavily and hurt his head. Michael tears at his hair and tries to get the caustic blood out but it doesn't seem to work. Finally, he rubs his hair against one of the walls of the elevator and it seems that some of the corrosive blood in his hair ends up on the wall and begins to corrode it instead.
Michael thinks it's strange that his staff at the group accommodation haven't called to ask where he is. Michael usually only meets Sven for a few hours and Michael thinks they have been away for many hours. Michael picks up his cell phone and it shows that it is only 1:30 p.m. So he hasn't been away as long as he thought. Michael can see that there is no cell coverage in the elevator so he can't call the staff and tell them where he is. Michael shines his cell phone flashlight to see if he is near the elevator door at floor three but the elevator is closer to floor two than three so the elevator door is high up and Michael can't reach for it.
There are several cracking and screeching noises as the elevator cables are eaten away by the facehuggers blood and Michael counts how many elevator cables are holding the elevator car and there are only three elevator cables and they smoke heavily as they are eaten away by the facehuggers blood.
Not good. Not good at all.
The elevator cable that is the most worn breaks and falls into the elevator car and disappears down the elevator shaft and now there are only two elevator cables holding the elevator car. Michael moves himself so that he stands against the elevator wall so that the elevator car weighs as little as possible. When the frayed elevator cable breaks, it is no longer an elevator cable that presses against the facehuggers body and it falls into the elevator car and the blood corrodes a part of the floor that has not yet been corroded. The plastic floor of the elevator car is smoking as it is corroded and the smoke enters Michael's nose and mouth even though it is closed and Michael feels like he has to cough but he doesn't dare to cough because he knows that there may be vibrations in the elevator car.
Michael thinks he hears several voices approaching the elevator and it doesn't sound like any of the tenants are talking to each other and Michael hopes it's the fire department or the emergency services that come to save him but he doesn't dare shout. The elevator cables continue to crack and the floor of the elevator car where the facehugger is now so corroded that it falls down the elevator shaft together with the facehuggers dead body. Michael hears someone above him open the elevator door and he lets out a shaky sigh of relief. Someone shines a flashlight and the bright light blinds Michael.
- I see him. He is standing very close to the elevator wall. I send the harness down to him. You okay down there?
- I'm fine, but hurry up. There are only two lift cables that hold the lift car.
- I can see that. I'll send you a harness down. It is very heavy. Put on the harness and close the long locks at the stomach and legs. We need to attach the wire that goes to the harness and when that's done we'll pull you up as fast as we can. Is that okay?
- It's okay.
Michael raise his feet as best he can and raises both of his arms so he can receive the harness. Michael watches as the harness is brought down to him and when it has come down far enough Michael starts to put it on and the man was right, the harness is very heavy. When Michael has the full harness on, he has a little trouble closing the long locks at his stomach and chest. The harness feels too small, but Michael pulls his stomach in as best he can and manages to lock around his stomach and chest. Just when Michael has locked the last lock, a terrible bang is heard and the second elevator cable crashes through the elevator car and down the elevator shaft. Now it is only a lift cable that holds the lift car. The people above Michael are shouting at each other and they sound scared.
- Is the wire secured yet? We must hurry before we lose him.
- Very soon. I have to screw it in a few more turns to make it really hold.
- Okay. Hang in there.
Michael looks up at the open elevator door above him but he can't see any of the people rescuing him. Michael looks down at his pants pockets and sees that the money is sticking out quite a bit from the pants pocket and he doesn't want anyone to suspect anything so he takes his wallet out of the back pocket and pulls out the thick wad of bills and puts it in his wallet. The wallet becomes difficult to close, but Michael puts it back in his back pocket. Michael suddenly feels someone pulling the wire attached to his harness and a sweaty face becomes visible above him.
- Then we start pulling you up. It is good if you move as little as possible.
- Sure, no problem.
The wire is tightened and after a few seconds, Michael feels that he is no longer standing on the floor of the elevator car, but is on his way up. It's slowly going up, but Michael is of course very happy that he's no longer standing in the elevator car. The single elevator cable that holds the elevator car is still creaking, but the sound changes now that Michael is no longer standing in the elevator car. Micahel can see the facehuggers yellow blood dripping from the giant roller that collects all the elevator cables and each yellow drop running down the lone elevator cable causes even more smoke and sizzling noises to form. The black elevator cable continues to smoke and sizzle while the yellow drops move further and further down. The sizzling is not a positive sound and the smoke irritates Michael's throat.
When Michael gets higher up, he can see those who are rescuing him and there are seven strong firefighters standing on the stairs. Four of them pull on different parts of the wire while another stands right in front of the door, looking down at Michael as he climbs higher and higher. A few other firefighters keep curious onlookers away and explain that the elevator is unfortunately shut down. When Michael is only a few meters from the open door, the elevator cable starts to crackle and the four firefighters and the man standing in front of the elevator pull Michael up very quickly so that he is lying on his stomach on the floor.
There is a loud bang and the last elevator cable breaks and the entire elevator car falls down the elevator shaft and a few seconds later there is a terrible roar that almost shakes the apartment building and a lot of dust is stirred up from the open elevator door. Michael is lying breathing and he is so terribly happy to be alive.
The four firefighters who pulled Michael up celebrate that they managed to pull him up in time and the leader of the task force is very pleased. They have done a very good job.
The front door to Michael's group accommodation opens and Krister shouts on the stairs.
- What's going on? What is that loud noise?
Michael makes a noise and it's enough for Krister to hear it's him and Krister walks down the stairs to the third floor and stands looking at the open elevator door and Michael lying on the floor with a metal harness around him and all seven firefighters . The closest firemen look at Krister with irritation.
- Don't stand so close. We are working here.
- It's okay. He is a staff at my group accommodation. I live on the fourth floor.
Krister walks up to Michael who has not yet gotten up from the floor.
- What have you done now? Did you destroy the elevator?
- No, it's a facehugger that has entered the elevator shaft and it got crushed and its blood has destroyed all the elevator cables.
- Right. About that. I suspect you are the one who placed the facehugger there.
- No, it isn't. I don't know where it comes from.
- Don't play dumb. I have already spoken to Sven and he told me what happened at the cafe and at the police station. He also told me that it was you who placed all the Alien eggs in the Kungsträdgården yesterday.
- That may be, but I actually don't know where this facehugger comes from.
The seven firefighters overhear what Michael and Krister are talking about and some of them look angry when they find out that this person was the one who placed the eggs yesterday. Michael gets up laboriously and takes off the heavy harness and he looks at the firefighters.
- Thank you for saving my life. Regarding this thing with the eggs, I have regretted what I did. It was wrong done by me. Can you forgive me?
The leader of the firefighters walks up to Michael and looks him in the eye.
- What you did was unforgivable but considering you almost died when the elevator collapsed I guess I'm not mad at you but you need to stop placing these eggs. We had to work several extra hours yesterday because of what you did and we are quite tired. Some of us didn't get any sleep until 2am last night.
- I understand. Once again, thanks for the help.
The leader of the firefighters nods silently and Michael walks over to Krister and stands next to him as the firefighters close the open elevator door and collect their used items.
Teresagatan (Micahel's Accommodation)
Michael and Krister remain on the stairs and watch as the firefighters work, but in the end they go up to the group accommodation and Krister locks the front door and turns to Michael.
- I've been thinking about this thing with the curfew and really, I'd like to lock you in a basement and throw away the key and have you locked up forever, but I'm not like that. You should be punished for what you did but I'm not sure if a curfew is the best punishment so we'll do it this way. You no longer have a curfew, but as soon as I hear even a hint that you want to deploy more Alien eggs, I will call the police and this time you will not be allowed to escape any punishment. Do you understand what I'm saying?
- I have understood. Thank you, Krister.
- It's not just me you have to thank. You should thank Sven and your family too. We have discussed this together and this was the best solution to the problem.
- Did Sven tell you that we met the Alien queen outside the cafe?
- Yes, he said that. He also said that you had stood under the Alien Queen's anus after she had laid an egg and you were completely drenched in her egg slime or whatever it was called. He also said that you had stuck your arms into her egg sac yesterday when you visited her hive. I wonder why you do such sexually deviant things.
- Ah, I just thought it was fun to get her egg mucus on me and yesterday I was curious how the silky egg fluid felt.
- But you have to understand that we feel as if you are doing gross sexual things when you meet the Alien queen. Would you like to have sex with her?
- That... It probably wouldn't have worked very well.
- But would you have tried anyway?
- No, I wouldnt.
- Anyway, I have decided that you will be allowed to see a psychologist once a week and that you will be able to talk to her about exactly what you want. She has a duty of confidentiality so you can tell all your innermost secrets and desires, if you have any.
- Okay, that sounds exciting.
Krister and Michael stand and look at each other for a long time, but then one of the residents calls for help and Krister goes to the person calling for help. At the same time, the door to the office opens and Mahom comes out into the corridor and he immediately walks up to Michael and taunts him. Michael hates Mahom because he is always so rude to him.
- I could have guessed that it was you who placed those eggs. You're so stupid in the head that it doesn't surprise me at all.
- I've already talked to the police about that, so you and I don't need to discuss that.
- I have to work extra because Helana died. Actually, I should have been at the hospital with my pregnant wife.
- You mean the one who has slept with all the men in your apartment building? You can hardly be sure that it is your child that she will give birth to.
- You have to watch yourself damn well so that no one gives you a hard slap.
- Ohh. Is it the tough guy talking? What hospital is she in?
- She is in Solna because it is the closest to where I live.
- Okay, Mahom, I.m going to my apartment. You don't have to bother me.
Michael enters his apartment before Mahom reacts and the first thing Michael does when he enters the apartment is go to his computer and go to Youtube and look for PredAlien. When he has found several good videos of a PredAlien, he pauses the video and starts massing in a monotone voice. Michael wants the PredAlien to exist in reality and its first victim to be Lydia, Mahom's girlfriend.
When Michael has finished the massing, he closes the web browser and goes to bed. He feels so incredibly tired from today's adventure and he needs to sleep for a few hours. Michael quickly falls asleep and meanwhile while he sleeps an adult PredAlien forms in the basement of Solna's hospital and it is already full of eggs which it will vomit down its victims throat
Slussen
A large gang of 14 people comes walking from the south entrance and all of the gang are young. The youngest in the gang is 22 years old and the oldest is 36 years old and they are going to take the ferry to Gröna lund. There is a long tunnel in Slussen and it leads to Skeppsholmen and that is the one the gang has intended to go through. Right now there is poor lighting in the tunnel that leads to Skeppsholmen, but these younger people have nothing to fear. They are tough individuals although they never cause any trouble. The gang talk to each other as they walk towards the tunnel.
- Did you all see the last game in Hammarby? The referee was a complete idiot who just ruined everything.
- We saw. It was a wonder there wasn't a big fight after that match.
- Have you heard Konett's new record? Konett raps better than Roffet. There is more swing in Konett's songs as well.
- I've heard it and I think the song "Mamba" will be this year's big summer hit, even though it's about a poisonous snake. I love his crazy scream in the chorus.
- I saw that there were extra cheap prices on energy drinks at Hartas. Should we buy some when we pass by Hartas?
- We can do that, but it depends a little on which energy drinks are involved. I don't want to buy those Chinese ones he imports. They taste like shit, frankly.
The large gang enters the tunnel as they talk and their voices bounce off the walls and ceiling and the echo distorts their bright voices and turns it into a loud murmur that can be heard outside the tunnel but the gang can hear each other without issue. Several of the fluorescent tubes on the ceiling flash in an almost stroboscopic manner, giving a confused impression of the way the road is going and the general interior of the tunnel. Neither the guards nor those who maintain the lock have noticed the flashing fluorescent lights and this is mostly due to the fact that few people use the tunnel.
It is Fabian who goes first and he talks to Moa all the time because he likes her. The road in the tunnel turns sharply to the right and Fabian has poor vision and walks straight into an object standing right next to a wall. Fabian is close to falling over the object but he manages to keep his balance. The light is extremely poor in this part of the tunnel but Fabian sees something large and round in front of him and the object appears to have a leathery surface. Moa walks past Fabian and sees a similar object a bit away from the first one and she gets curious as to what it is and walks up to the object. There is a sticky sound from the objects in front of Fabian and Moa and Moa thinks it's a disgusting sound. Another sticky sound is heard some distance from where Moa is standing.
The others in the gang walk past Fabian and Moa and they see a long line of large objects along the wall and they get curious as to what it is. The only one who doesn't go to the objects is Gregor. He is suspicious of them and doesn't want to get into trouble. Gregor counts the objects and they are 15 in total and they stand in a long row. There are several sticky sounds at once and some of the gang back away from the objects.
- Woah! What the hell is that?
- I have no idea, but this doesn't feel normal.
Bubbling noises are heard from inside most of the objects and Gregor grabs some of his comrades.
- Come on! We leave those things. This doesn't feel safe.
The two facehuggers that are in the eggs that are in front of Fabian and Moa explode from their eggs and land in Fabian and Moa's faces. The first two facehuggers trigger an effect that happens when dominoes fall on top of each other and the other eleven facehuggers explode from their eggs one by one in an endless sequence. Each facehugger lands on his victim's face and Gregor sees what is happening and he quickly backs away. Suddenly, a sticky sound is heard behind Gregor and he turns around to see several Alien eggs standing behind him.
The facehugger explodes from the egg and lands on Gregor's face but it ends up slightly askew and its skin therefore does not meet Gregor's skin. Gregor feels the facehugger insert its elastic and slimy proboscis through his open mouth and down his throat. The outside of the facehuggers proboscis has a faint taste reminiscent of chili but Gregor isn't focusing on that right now. The others in the gang are lucky and become unconscious when the facehuggers inner skin meets theirs and the only thing they notice when they wake up is that their throats feel sore and that they have a faint taste of chili in their mouths. The facehuggers proboscis pushes deeper and deeper into Gregor's throat and he notices that he can't breathe through either his throat or nose but that the attacking creature is pumping oxygen through the proboscis and that allows him to still breathe in a way.
The facehuggers proboscis stops pushing down through Gregor's open mouth and quickly swells to twice its thickness, beginning to undulate at regular intervals. The undulation intensifies and after a few seconds, hundreds of small black eggs begin to shoot from the proboscis and they move down towards Gregor's chest in a flowing motion. Gregor can't feel when the eggs come out but he can feel the vibrations in the proboscis as they come out and he knows that the creature is filling him with something and he is not willing to let the beast do this. Grabbing a firm grip on the facehuggers tail, Gregor tries to pull the uninvited creature away from his face but he soon feels the long tail tighten around his neck and almost strangle him so he lets go of the tail. The black small eggs continue to shoot out from the facehuggers proboscis under high pressure and one of the many eggs has started to grow in Gregor's chest and it is growing fast. The egg in Gregor's chest changes into a small fry and it begins to eat the other eggs and grows even faster. Gregor cannot feel the fry and he does not know that it is in his chest.
The 13 other facehuggers have also driven their proboscis into their victims throats and the eggs have started to squirt out into their throats as well but the victims are completely unaware of what is happening. Some of the facehuggers have an enormous power as they eject their eggs and some of the eggs accidentally end up in the lungs but they soon move away and flow down to the chest. Gregor doesn't know that the rest of the gang are unconscious although he could faintly hear some of them fall to the floor.
The eggs stop spraying out of the facehuggers proboscis and it becomes as slim as it was before. The facehugger pulls its proboscis into its body and detaches itself from Gregor's face. The other 13 facehuggers retract their proboscis as well and detach from their victims' faces and they run off into the tunnel looking for a place to die.
Gregor takes a firm grip on the facehuggers tail as soon as the beast is freed from his face and the little beast hangs on to its tail as its eight finger-like digits squirm wildly. Gregor intends to take revenge on the beast, it will get a taste of its own medicine. Gregor takes hold of the facehuggers proboscis and begins to pull it out. There are a few black eggs around the opening of the facehuggers proboscis and Gregor thinks they look like black caviar but they smell different. When the facehuggers proboscis is fully extended, Gregor inserts his middle finger into the proboscis and he makes sure that it fills the entire proboscis.
- So you thought you could do this to me without consequences? Now you get a taste of your own medicine, you bastard.
The facehuggers eight digits continue to sputter and Jennifer is the first of the 13 to wake up and she walks up to Gregor and wonders what he's doing.
- Why do you have your finger in that creature's.. thing?
- It did this to me, so I do the same to it. The beast that must have landed on your face did the same, right?
- I haven't had any beast in my face, have I?
- But I saw when they jumped out of those objects. Hmm, those objects are probably eggs.
- I have no memory of it. Can you stop jamming your finger into that creature's thing?
- Calm down, I'm just getting a little revenge. It doesn't matter, does it?
- It looks a little.. disgusting when you do that.
Fabian and Moa have also woken up and they approach Gregor and Moa grimaces when she sees what Gregor is doing. Fabian, on the other hand, is amused by what he sees.
- Well, that's how you are. I had no idea about that.
- I'm just taking revenge on it. It did something similar to me and probably you too.
- Hmm. I have no recollection of that. I just remember something coming flying at my face and then I woke up lying on the ground.
- What came flying towards you was exactly the same as this beast.
Jennifer stares at Gregor.
- Can you take your finger out of there now? You've had it for quite some time now.
- Well, okay then.
Gregor takes his finger out of the facehuggers proboscis and he starts to swing the facehugger around by swinging its tail and when it has gained good speed he releases its tail and the facehugger flies freely in the air until it crashes into a wall. Gregor laughs as the facehugger thumps into the wall.
The others in the gang have also woken up and some of them are confused and don't know where they are at first but then they remember where they are and where they are going. Some of the girls saw when the facehugger landed on the wall and they wonder what kind of beast it was and Gregor tells about what happened to himself. When Gregor tells about when he inserted his finger into the facehuggers proboscis, some of the girls react.
- But damn. That sounds very disgusting.
- Damn it.
Fabian walks up to Gregor and touches his shoulder.
- Maybe we shouldn't talk about that. You disgust the girls.
Gregor shrugs.
- Whatever. Shall we hurry so that we catch the ferry to Gröna Lund?
Everyone agrees with him and they walk faster and at the end when there is better light in the tunnel they start to run. When they come out of the tunnel, the whole gang sees that the ferry is at the quay and there is a mad sprint towards Skeppsholmen. But they manage to get on the ferry before the gangway retracts and the ferry leaves the dock. The ferry only takes 20 minutes before it arrives at Gröna lund.
Solna Hospital Maternity Clinic
Lydia is sitting alone in her own little delivery booth and she is really bored and she wishes Mahom was by her side but he had to work even though Lydia is about to give birth. Lydia is in her ninth month and if all goes well she will give birth tonight or tomorrow. Lydia has never given birth before but she is still not worried because every doctor she has met has assured her that everything will be fine. Lydia is not very surprised that she is pregnant considering how much sex she and Mahom have had. He doesn't think he's very special, but he's definitely her wild stallion in bed.
The delivery booth is very small and consists of a bed and a small table and only a long curtain separates this delivery booth from the others. Lydia can hear the other heavily pregnant women moaning and making other noises, but she herself is quiet right now. Lydia can also hear the nurses walking out in the corridor and she feels safe.
Lydia has recently been reading a book but she can't read any more right now and she wishes there was a TV in her delivery booth but as it is so small there is no room for a TV. The table next to the bed is fully covered with equipment that will be used when it is time for her to give birth.
The woman whose delivery stall is next to Lydia's starts to laugh at something and her laughter echoes between the delivery stalls and Lydia smiles at the laughter because it sounds so lovely and happy. Lydia sees a doctor moving just outside her delivery booth but she can't see the doctor's face but she guesses it's the lady with the thick glasses. An alarm goes off a little further away and the doctor starts walking away.
The alarm continues to sound and Lydia suddenly hears a scream of horror that quickly dies down and it scares her. A few minutes later, Lydia hears heavy footsteps outside the delivery booth and she involuntarily pushes herself against the bed. It sounds like something is dripping onto the floor and when Lydia looks under the long drape she can see something transparent dripping onto the floor at very regular intervals. Lydia smells a strange scent that she has never smelled before and it tickles her nose.
The long curtain is pulled apart and a large creature becomes visible and it advances towards Lydia with quick steps. The creature appears to have an exoskeleton and is dark grey/dark yellow and its head is curved and elongated like a long banana but it looks ridged towards the end and ends in long braids. The creature also has two large growths around a large jaw and they resemble an insect's mandibles but are very large. Copious amounts of transparent drool flow from the creature's jaws and some of the drool flows into Lydia's bed because the creature is standing so close to the bed. The creature has a large ridged chest under its large jaw and it also has two large arms that end in razor sharp claws and Lydia can see blood dripping from the claws. The creature also has a very long and thick spine-like spiky tail that ends in something resembling a narrow spade. The creature doesn't seem to have any eyes but it seems to be watching Lydia and she is trying to make herself as small as possible in the bed.
The creature makes several loud gurgling noises and moves even closer to the bed and opens its large jaw. The creature steps forward so that it is only a few centimeters from Lydia's face and the two growths around its jaws hold her head as if in an iron grip. Lydia sobs quietly. She doesn't want to die. The creature opens Lydia's mouth with the help of one of the growths and she strongly resists. An inner mouth protrudes from the creature's jaw and penetrates deep into Lydia's throat.
The creature makes several chuffing noises and Lydia sees how the creature's throat swells up and a few seconds later, Lydia's throat is filled with some smelly goo and several large oval things. Lydia feels the creature pumping her throat full of goo and large oval things. It almost feels as if it is vomiting in her throat. Lydia feels the first large oval thing move down her throat and whatever it is, it reminds her of a small candy egg. The first egg-like thing is immediately followed by a new one and another and another while the smelly goo also follows. Lydia doesn't want to swallow what she's being fed but she has no choice but to swallow because the inner mouth is pressing so hard against her throat. Lydia's throat fills with five egg-like things but then the creature pulls its inner mouth away from her throat and stands looking at her. Lydia hopes that swallowing the egg-like things will not have any adverse effect on her unborn child.
Lydia feels very vulnerable as she lies in bed with the creature in front of her and she feels orally raped. Lydia looks at the creature with teary eyes and sobs out a few words.
- Why did you do this to me?
The creature doesn't answer but stands and stares at Lydia but then it walks over to the next delivery booth and pulls aside the drapery and walks in to the pregnant woman. The pregnant woman begins to scream loudly when she sees the creature coming towards her and after a very short while a male nurse comes running. The male nurse catches sight of the creature and he grabs its rear dreadlocks and pulls them hard. The creature pushes its thick and spiky spine-like tail through the nurse's stomach and after a few seconds the end of the tail protrudes through the nurse's back and large amounts of blood pour out of its mouth. Lydia turns her face away to avoid seeing what is happening. The PredAlien's tail has drilled through the male nurse's body and it is still hanging on to the tail but the PredAlien makes an irritated motion with its tail and the body comes loose and falls heavily to the floor. Lydia hears the heavy sound as the nurse's body lands on the floor but she doesn't want to hear the sound.
Lydia hears the creature make that chuffing sound and she knows what it means. Lydia has a pain in her back and she lies on her back in bed and folds down the backrest so that she is almost lying down. Lydia closes her eyes and tries to think about how exciting it will be to give birth when the time comes. After a few minutes, Lydia hears the woman next to her delivery booth start to cry and she opens her eyes to see that the creature is now standing between the two delivery booths and seems to be looking at Lydia and the other woman.
Lydia feels her baby kicking her stomach and she is relieved that the baby is moving. The child kicks again after a few seconds and this time it is a stronger kick. The unborn baby does a third kick and this kick is the strongest so far and it feels uncomfortable but after the third kick the baby doesn't seem to move anymore, at least not right now. Lydia doesn't want to look at the nasty creature so she closes her eyes again and thinks of her wonderful husband Mahom.
Lydia feels her stomach start to rise, but at first she thinks it's just imagination, but after a short while she opens her eyes. The creature is still standing between the two delivery booths but that's not what Lydia is focusing on the most. Lydia watches as the stomach rises and rises and the stomach shouldn't be able to get this high but it is and it continues to rise and Lydia can see it with her naked eye. Something in the stomach starts to push out the taut skin and it looks like big bumps pushing up the stomach in three different places. Lydia thinks that it definitely can't be the baby making these bumps but something else.
Lydia's stomach feels like it's about to explode and she moans loudly because it hurts so much. The taut skin in her stomach is pushed out again in several places and the big bumps move as they push the skin up and Lydia thinks the shapes under the skin look snake-like and she hates snakes. The belly of the pregnant woman who is in the delivery booth next to Lydia's also begins to rise and she is sobbing loudly but Lydia is not aware of what is happening to the woman. Suddenly Lydia's belly stops rising and it almost looks like it starts to shrink instead and Lydia feels grateful. The belly of the other pregnant woman continues to rise and loud grotesque noises are heard from the distended belly. Lydia watches as her own belly shrinks and shrinks but something is still pushing the skin up in several places and the bulging bumps are even more visible now. Soon the belly is as thick as it was before it started to rise.
The skin on Lydia's stomach stops being pushed up and she is very grateful for that and she closes her eyes again and thinks about her child. Lydia hopes the baby is fine but she hasn't felt any more movement from it than when it moved a third time but Lydia thinks the baby might be sleeping.
Suddenly, there is a feverish activity in Lydia's stomach and the skin begins to be pushed out again and the bulges are fully visible and they are pressing in five different places at the same time. The stomach begins to rise again as it jumps and bulges with the frenzied activity. The bulging bumps are very large and it feels like they are pressing much harder than they did before. Snake-like forms are fully visible under the bulging bumps and Lydia can feel something squirm in her stomach and it almost feels like several freshly caught eels are moving in a fishing net. The stomach of the pregnant woman in the delivery booth next to Lydia's has not shrunk, but there are continuous strong bulges all over her stomach while continuous grotesque noises are heard from inside the stomach.
Lydia looks at her belly as it bulges wildly and continues to rise and it's almost as distended as it was before but the pressure keeps building and Lydia finds it hard to breathe as the grotesquely distended belly presses against her lungs and throat. The stomach is constantly pushed out by five huge bulges and the five bulges move continuously under the taut skin. Lydia feels her stomach with one hand and she can even feel the five lumps through her skin with her hand and they feel hard and move constantly. Lydia wonders how these things can move so fast and so much considering she has a big baby in her belly. Lydia's stomach is pushed out extremely much in three different places and the three shapes that are clearly visible under the skin remind her of something. Lydia's stomach continues to rise and there are grotesque stretching sounds from her stomach and back. Lydia can now only take tiny breaths because her stomach is so grotesquely distended. Five bulges become visible again and they push harder than they ever have and Lydia's body bends upwards.
Lydia's stomach explodes in an extremely large geyser of blood and she has time to see five snake-like beasts inside her stomach before her field of vision shrinks to zero and goes dark forever. Lydia also manages to see that her unborn child is gone. It is no longer visible and she understands that these five beasts have eaten her fetus. Blood continues to spurt from the giant hole in Lydia's stomach and she dies from the blood loss. The five Bellybursters scream out their birth cries and the sound echoes between the walls and the birth booth. Five new lives have been born but they do not bring any good to humanity, quite the opposite. The PredAlien looks at its five newborn cubs and feels content. The five Bellybursters make their way out of Lydia's stomach and approach their new parent, the PredAlien.
The belly of the pregnant woman in the delivery booth next to Lydia's bulges wildly and her whole body bends upwards and she can hardly get any air anymore. Five large lumps continuously press against the grotesquely distended stomach while they move like freshly caught eels in a fishing net. The woman's belly continues to rise and there are great ripples across the taut surface as something inside the belly moves incessantly. The woman watched as Lydia's stomach exploded and she has a feeling that the same thing will happen to hers and she has no high hopes of being able to survive this. Actually, it was mainly her husband who wanted children and she agreed to it, but she regrets it now.
The stomach of the other woman explodes in a giant geyser of blood and body parts and five bellybursters are seen in the destroyed stomach and the fetus that was there earlier is eaten. The five bellybursters scream their birth cry and the sound echoes around the ward, startling the other women who are in their delivery booths
