Okay, how many times am I going to be abducted by a Predator?? First Fugi, then the Mega Predator, and now Wolf! Fugi, Zeke and Eclipse are gonna be worried sick if I don't get back there. Wolf continued pulling me by the arm down a hallway headed only God knows where, that was when I saw a xenomorph nesting material tunnel entrance. SHIT. 

"Uh, Wolf?! What are you doing?!" I whisper and pull on my arm frantically.

Wolf growled at me as if to say 'Shut up', so I did. He FINALLY let go of my arm as we were only a few feet away from the xenomorph nest entrance, I felt my heart start beating 100 miles a minute. The Predator looked at me with his golden eyes, pointing at me and then towards the entrance.

"You expect ME to go in there?! ALONE?!" I exclaim.

Wolf nods with a gruff scoff. My jaw dropped.

"I mean you no disrepect, but if you think I'm going in there by myself you're INSANE. I'm nowhere near as tall or strong as you." I crossed my arms and stayed put.

Wolf then points his very sharp claw at the mark on my cheek, clicking and shaking his head. He held his arms behind his back as he looked into the entrance of nesting material, growling and making all sorts of sounds. I have no idea what he's saying, but I seriously think he's doubting my Predator scar.

"Are you saying I'm a coward and I didn't earn my scar?" I ask accusingly.

Wolf nodded.

"Do you NOT see the facehugger on my belt?? I'll have you know that I had to fight an ELEVEN FOOT TALL Yautja just to keep him from keeping me as his little girlfriend. I've also been up against 4 robots over 20 feet tall, so who are you to say that I'm a coward? You know nothing about me, Wolf! You know what? I WILL go in there and kill a xenomorph and I'll PROVE to you I'm no scaredy cat!" I snapped.

Wolf reared his head back with a brow raised, warbling something as I had just yelled at him more or less.

"Of course I don't know what I'll use to defend myself other than my-" I reached for my handgun and knife but they weren't there.

The Predator took my weapons out from behind him. DUDE!! Okay he's good I'll admit, but those are my only weapons!

"Great idea, take my only weapons." I said sarcastically.

Wolf rolled his eyes then reached for me and pulled a handle thing off my armors belt, handing it to me. I took it into my left hand and noticed a button on it, and me being me, I push it. The handle then turned into a staff, then a scythe blade appearing at the top of it. Holy shit I actually have a SCYTHE. He even pointed at a few other things on the belt that I recognized as shurikens, SWEET.

"I'll show you I'm not a coward." I said as I grabbed my bio mask and put it on.

Wolf nodded and growled as I took a deep breath and entered the xenomorph nest tunnel. Why did I agree to this? Probably because of my weird desire to prove something to someone. That and he probably won't let me go until I do. Well, wish me luck. If I die, I'm sorry Optimus and Bumblebee.

Sky slowly made her way through the slime covered tunnel, staring at the multiple humans plastered upon the wall. Men, women, children, patients, and several doctors were cocooned upon the walls, majority of them with gaping holes in their chest cavity from the xenomorph offspring.

"Dear God...I'm walking into a fucking nest, aren't I? Or the beginning of one at least." She asked herself.

She approached one of the people stuck to the wall, one without a gaping hole in the chest. It was a teenage boy, maybe 15 or 16. His eyes were closed as Sky went up to him, looking at his torso. The glass over her eyes then lit up yellow, then to an orange then to a pale blue. She stared at his chest for a moment, then lowered her head and sighed heavily.

"Fuck...infected. It'll burst any minute now."

His eyes snapped open and he saw her, his breathing rasped. It startled her to where she almost yelped, the boy had tears forming in his eyes.

"Please...k-kill me! I'm dead anyways..." He begged.

Under her mask, Sky was tearing up as well. She knew that the poor kid was going to die either way, so killing him swiftly would be putting him out of his misery and showing him mercy. The young girl slowly raised the scythe, the boy starting to cough harder.

"May your soul find peace in the afterlife..." Sky said and swung the scythe at the young teen.

The sound of a short gurgle came from the boy, blood spilling from his throat as she had slit it. Her hands were shaking at what she had done, even if it were out of mercy. The boys torso exploded, the chestburster launching straight at her with a loud screech. Sky gasped and grabbed the chestburster by the neck, the newborn squealing and viciously squirming.

She just stared at it. As the human said before, she couldn't kill a youngling.

I shushed the small alien in my hand, the chestburster quieting down. God knows what's in here Xenomorph wise, I'm just hoping there's no damn facehugger eggs in here although they're pretty noticeable. The chestburster was now quiet other than making little clicks. I just hope Wolf doesn't come in and see this.

"It's okay little guy, I won't hurt you." I whisper.

I let go of the little pink snake as it decided to slither up my arm and rest upon my shoulderplate. Okay am I a Xenomorph tamer now or something?? Because these things, not including the Predalien, really seem to enjoy my company. But maybe it's just Zeke and this one, the others will probably attack me. I continued deeper into the tunnel. Actually, no.

I don't need to kill a xenomorph to prove to Wolf that I earned my Yautja mark and name. What I NEED to do is get back to Fugi and the others, but big and grizzled back there I'm sure won't let me leave until I bring back the severed head of a Xenomorph. I can't, my heart just won't allow me to do it. So I must find another way out of here. Maybe there's vents or passageways deeper in I could crawl through.

"Come on little guy, we're getting out of here."

The little chestburster on my shoulder was curled up as I trekked through the water flooding the floor a good 4 inches, splashing with each step I took. Up ahead, I could see 3 oval like shapes in steam leaking from a broken pipe. Squinting my eyes and zooming in with my mask settings, I gasped in horror.

Facehugger eggs, and they hadn't opened yet. SHIT SHIT SHIT. Now THOSE things actually scare me, at least what's in them does. I took a few steps backwards,  looking to the small serpent upon my shoulder who lifted it's head.

"I gotta put you down for a second little buddy." I gently took the chestburster and put it down.

The baby serpent hissed as I looked back to the eggs, and one of them was opening. My eyes widen as I heard gross squishing noises coming from within the egg, little legs starting to peer over the edge of it.

"FUCK!!" I screamed.

The facehugger screeched and launched at me. I grabbed the repulsive little crab thing as its egg tube was trying to get in my mouth, it's tail trying to wrap around my neck. For a little guy, this thing is STRONG! I fight with the facehugger but then I felt my breath get cut off, the things tail wrapped around my throat.
