Chapter 16: Aliens
The Dark Nation, already a realm of unimaginable horror and chaos, saw the arrival of yet
another terrifying force—the Xenomorphs from the Aliens universe. These deadly creatures,
born from an alien species designed to be the perfect predators, now joined the endless ranks
of monsters and infected beings in the Dark Nation. Their arrival brought a new wave of terror,
adding even more chaos to the twisted world that was quickly becoming a living nightmare.
The Xenomorphs, in all their terrifying forms, wasted no time in staking their claim in the Dark
Nation. The basic Drones, with their black, biomechanical exoskeletons and acidic blood,
prowled the desolate streets, their silent movements and sharp claws cutting through the
decayed ruins. Alongside them, the deadly Facehuggers scuttled through the shadows, ready to
latch onto any living creature they encountered, implanting their parasitic embryos inside their
hosts.
Soon after the Facehuggers came the grotesque Chestbursters, violently erupting from their
victims and rapidly growing into more Xenomorphs. Towering over them all was the fearsome
Queen, the matriarch of the Xenomorphs, whose size and strength made her an unstoppable
force in the Dark Nation. Guarding the Queen were the massive Praetorians, stronger and more
armored than their Drone counterparts, enforcing the hierarchy of the Xenomorph hive.
The Xenomorph variants also made their presence felt. The swift and agile Runners, born from
quadrupedal hosts, darted across the landscape, while the monstrous Predalien, a hybrid born
from the union of Xenomorph and Predator, added another layer of ferocity to the chaos. The
eerie Deacons and pale Neomorphs, offspring of a different strain of Xenomorph, spread
through the land with their unpredictable and violent nature. The Crusher, with its massive head
designed for ramming through obstacles, and the Ravager, a large and heavily armored variant,
brought new levels of destruction to the Dark Nation.
Even more unsettling were the specialized Xenomorphs like the Raven and the spider-like
Arachnoid, each one bringing its own deadly skill set to the nightmare landscape. The
Synthetics, artificial life forms built in the image of humans, further complicated the situation, as
their loyalties remained a question amidst the growing war between light and dark.
With the arrival of the Xenomorphs, the Dark Nation was plunged even deeper into chaos. The
necromorphs from Dead Space, along with the zombies, infected, and monsters from countless
other universes, now had to contend with the unstoppable Xenomorph hive, adding yet another
layer of terror to an already twisted world. The creatures of the Dark Nation—whether they were
demons, monsters, or infected—were forced to adapt to this new and relentless threat.
As the Xenomorphs carved out their place in the Dark Nation, The One Above All once again
intervened to save the innocent. The surviving humans from the Aliens universe, who had
fought for their lives against the relentless Xenomorphs, were transported to the safety of the
Light Nation, where they could finally find peace from the horrors they had endured.
Among those saved was the iconic survivor, Ellen Ripley, who had battled the Xenomorphs
across multiple encounters and had become a symbol of resilience and determination.
Alongside Ripley came other survivors from her journeys—Dallas, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash,
and Kane, whose fates had been tied to the earliest Xenomorph encounter aboard the
Nostromo.
From later encounters, Corporal Dwayne Hicks, the brave Marine, and the young survivor Newt
(Rebecca Jorden) were spared from the nightmare of the Dark Nation, as was the damaged but
loyal Bishop, an android who had fought to protect them. Other Marines who had fought and
died during the battle against the Xenomorphs, such as Private Vasquez, Private Hudson,
Sergeant Apone, and Private Frost, found new life in the Light Nation. Even Lieutenant Gorman,
who had once faltered in the heat of battle, was given a second chance.
The survivors continued to arrive. Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, who had uncovered the origins of the
Xenomorphs, and her companion Charlie Holloway were transported to the Light Nation, as was
the enigmatic android David and the corporate executive Meredith Vickers. The crew of the
Prometheus—Janek, Chance, and Ravel—were spared from the horrors of their journey, as was
the once-powerful Peter Weyland, whose corporate greed had unleashed much of the horror on
humanity.
From later conflicts, Daniels, Tennessee, and the android Walter were saved, along with Oram,
Karine, Lope, Faris, Rosenthal, Cole, Upworth, and Ripley 8, the hybrid clone of Ellen Ripley.
Even the survivors from later films—Call, Johner, Vriess, Christie, Dr. Wren, Gediman, General
Perez, Purvis, Captain Elgyn, Hillard, and Distephano—were transported to the Light Nation,
each bringing their stories of survival and battle with them.
In the Light Nation, these survivors were greeted by the growing community of humans from
Silent Hill, Dead Rising, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days/Weeks/Years Later, The Walking Dead,
Night of the Living Dead, World War Z, The Last of Us, and Dead Space. Together, they began
to rebuild their lives, sharing their experiences of survival and endurance.
Despite the peace and safety they found in the Light Nation, the darkness continued to grow in
the Dark Nation. The Xenomorphs had added yet another dimension of horror to an already
twisted land, and with the arrival of the necromorphs and countless other monsters, the Dark
Nation had become a place where only the strongest and most terrifying creatures could
survive.
