Yellow Gem| AVP Requiem (AU) Part 6.
(I am so sorry I've been inactive recently, not much motivation. So this chapter is the length of 2 of my usual chapters, just to make up for it! Hope you enjoy! Btw this is what she looks like as Xeno)
* * * *
The facehugger wrapped it's tail around the humans throat, a hard cough escaping her. She had dropped the scythe as the creature had launched at her, one hand on the creatures torso while the other was reaching for one of the discs upon her belt. Sky grabbed the disc and pushed a button on it, several blades extruded from it into a shuriken. Slashing the weapon at the creatures tail, it fell to the ground as she gasped for air and threw the facehugger away. The chestburster only watched as its sibling carrier scurried away, the human breathing heavily and rubbing her throat. She picked up the scythe, pushed the button and put it back on her belt.
"Fuck those things to hell and back...I ain't risking THAT any more by staying human." She coughed.
Sky then shifted back into Xeno, nearly hitting her head on the ceiling. The chestburster chirped and slithered up the purple Xenomorphs leg, startling her until she saw it was only the serpent. The pink snake wrapped it's tail around her upper arm as she continued on. The other facehugger eggs opened with 2 more of the creatures crawling out to see the large Xenomorph, instead of jumping at her they began crawling up her other arm. Sky shuddered and tried to shake them off, but they wouldn't budge.
She groaned as the small crab spiders decided to stay on her arm, continuing forward deeper into the nest and ignoring them. 3 more chestbursters slithered out from hosts and towards the xenomorph, climbing up her legs and towards her head. Sky grit her teeth with a disgusted whine.
"Why are these things so attached to me?!" She barked.
"What's the problem?"
"The PROBLEM is if I get back to the others and these things are still on me, the facehuggers could impregnate Fugi and Eclipse. The chestbursters aren't really the issue as they seem to be strongly influenced by me, but there is something else..." the Xenomorph slowly continued.
"What?" The relic asks.
"If there's more facehugger eggs, then there HAS to be a Queen nearby. Queen xenomorphs are HUGE, just about as big as Bumblebee or maybe even bigger. Then there's the Empress, then the Queen Mother...the largest Xenomorph there is. At an outstanding height of 15 and a half meters, that's even taller than Optimus is. She lays Royal Facehugger eggs, which create Queens. But any xenomorph can shed it's skin and become a Queen Xeno regardless of gender, before they become queens they become a Praetorian. Praetorians technically are around 9-12 feet tall." Xeno explained.
The relic was silent after her explanation.
"Sky...aren't you around that height?" The mini con asks.
Xeno groaned, "These things think I'm their mother, don't they..."
"More than likely. But on the bright side, they won't 'facehug' you!" The relic said happily.
Xeno/Sky shrugged as if to say "fair point". She continued onward, the 2 facehuggers remained on her arm and the 4 chestbursters had their tails wrapped around her muscular legs. There was an opening at the end of the twisting tunnel, she sighed of relief and took off running towards it. As she reached the end of the tunnel, she screeched to a halt as her body language read horrified at the sight before her. She covered her mouth both her hands, trying not to gasp.
There were dozens, if not HUNDREDS of Facehugger eggs. And right in the center of the horde of unborn embryos, was a Queen Predalien. Her dreadlocks fell over her shoulders as her very large head was pointed at the floor, her mandibled face withdrawn into the hard exoskeleton surrounding it. A huge egg sack was attached to the Queen, a new egg being laid every other minute. Several large bone like sticks were attached to her dorsal spines, keeping her suspended just above her egg sack. Just then the Predalien that had tried to attack the human dropped from a vent in the ceiling, the purple xenomorph was in shock as she ducked behind the corner.
"Oh dear God, we have a SERIOUS problem. The current Predalien isn't even the original one, the original became a Queen!" Xeno hissed.
"What does that mean..." The mini con asks.
"That means that all these younglings on me are HERS and might turn on me. Many Xenomorph, Predator, Human or whatever they attached to hybrids!"
"But you said your character Xeno was Xenomorph, Yautja and Human."
"Yeah, she is. But there's one difference, she has actual emotions like a human and never listened to her Queen. A red metallic powder was the cause of her genetic mutations, which is why I-Xeno looks this way. I'm vastly outnumbered!" She growled.
* * * *
A Queen PREDALIEN. Fugi said that there was no way a Queen was nearby, well he was half right. Because when we first got here, we were at least 2 or 3 miles from the nest. So maybe the regular Predalien did some impregnating further away, I can only assume at this point. Now what am I going to do? The 2 facehuggers a and 4 chestbursters that still clung to my arms and legs chittered, but then the chitters turned into words.
"M...Mama..." I heard one of the chestbursters say.
I stared at the one who spoke, my eyes wide underneath my glass dome.
"I'm sorry, did you just speak English?" I ask it in English.
"No Mama, only xenomorph." It squeaked.
Oh great, I can now understand the xenomorph language. At least they understand English. Maybe I can understand Fugi or Wolf since Xeno is part Yautja too, but I don't know. But I DO know that I need to get around that Queen and get into that vent in the ceiling. All Xenomorphs possess the ability to climb walls and ceilings, I just hope that Xeno can too. I tapped my chin with a clawed finger, looking around at the nests walls and ceilings. Perhaps this is worth a test, I place my hands on the wall.
"Mama, what doing?" One of the facehuggers hissed.
"Just testing something, sweetheart. All of you, be careful okay?" I whisper to the creatures.
I jumped and place both my clawed xenomorph feet on the wall, closing my eyes and expecting to fall off and onto my back. But I never did, I opened them to see my hands and feet clinging to the wall. Taking a few awkward steps up the wall to the ceiling, I now hung upside down like a bat, the tip of my tail dangled just above the floor.
"Hey look at me, I'm Spiderman!" I giggled.
Shannon snickered as I began to climb out of the tunnel and into the Queens chamber, sticking to the wall like glue. I moved very slowly as the small alien babies clung onto Xenos muscular frame, trying to not get the Queen Predaliens attention. Or any other Xenomorphs attention for that matter. I keep glancing back at her, but she wasn't paying me any attention as she was simply communicating with the young male Predalien. But now that I can understand their language in the form, I was eavesdropping.
"Son? What happened to you? You're bleeding." The Queen hissed.
"I lost the future host, mother...I'm very sorry." The Predalien hissed and lowered his head.
"Cheer up, you can find another one easily." The Queen nuzzled her youngling.
Awww, this Queen has a heart! Well, to the Predalien anyways. Who knows, maybe she plays favorites. The male Predalien slowly lifted his head with a growl.
"It was an overconfident female, she had a firearm and fired it as I was harvesting another female. Oh how I want to kill her with some of my own, I can still smell her sickingly sweet scent!" The Predalien roared.
Oh well that's as comforting as a hemmoroid, but bad and ugly WAS going to try and use me as a host. Well news flash! I can kick your ass in my Xenomorph form! Ohhhh now I see why he called me overconfident, I get a little confident at times. I'm about halfway up the wall towards the vent entrance, cautious of moving with the babies on me. They still haven't noticed me or the young ones clinging to me yet, which I consider a wonderful thing. That was when another Xenomorph decided to crawl up the wall in front of me, I gasped. The serpent halted and very slowly turned it's head to see me.
This Xenomorph had ridges upon its head, translucent razor sharp teeth, a long and jagged spined tail, 4 fingers on each hand, and a very dark puke green skin color. The 4 chestbursters and 2 facehuggers clung onto me tighter as this new xenomorph just stared at me silently.
I hissed slightly as to say hello.
"Pickles." That's what came out my mouth.
The Xenomorph tilted it's head, confused as hell at what I just said. Then it leaned forward to sniff me, I held completely still as it did so. It leaned back, growled then let out an unholy screech. It hurt my ears, or earholes, because I was in such close proximity. I threw a punch at the xenomorph, hitting it square in the dome. It yelped as it then lost its grip, falling a good 2 or 3 stories. Like I said, this chamber is HUGE. The xenomorph landed in a pool of water, slowly getting up and shaking the water off like a wet dog.
"Sorry!" I say.
"Who are you?! And why do you have my children?!" I heard a loud hissing.
I slowly turned my head to see that the Queen Predalien and her son were glaring daggers at me, well I'm busted.
"The name is Xeno, Queenie. And hey, they attached to ME!" I say in English.
The younglings clinging to me looked in between their Queen and I, assumingly trying to determine who is their true mother.
"You are not their mother, but a thieving bastard!" The Queen screeched.
"At least I'm not sitting around all day and night doing nothing but laying eggs. And like I SAID, THEY attached to ME." I smirked.
The Queen roared in fury at me, if only she could actually move with that huge egg sack. I then started moving faster towards the vent as it was only 10 feet away. That was then I heard several hisses below me, I looked down to see more serpents entering the chamber and starting to climb the wall. Oh I better book it. I took off towards the vent as I felt "my" younglings cling to me so much tighter that I think they could cut off blood flow. Or in my case, Acid flow.
I reached the vent and entered it, booking it straight up, then meeting at a crossroads. Left, right, straight. I could hear the serpents getting closer, so I went left and crawled as fast as I could.
* * * *
Sky after a few minutes fell out of a vent, yelping and hit the floor face first with a thud. Her weight was apparently too much for the air duct, the chestbursters and facehuggers were alright as they had moved to cling to her back. The purple xenomorph slowly got to her knees and rubbed her banana shaped head, grumbling something inaudible. The baby aliens slithered back to their previous places as back in the nest.
One of the peach pink snakes hissed at her, cocking it's head. Sky sighed.
"Technically, yes. That was your real mother." She said.
2 other of the serpents screeched at her as she got to her feet.
"Hey, I may not be your biological mother, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you. It's called adoption." Sky looked around the hall she had fallen into.
A sign read Children's area, the Xenomorphs heart sank in her chest.
"Can you 6 jump off for a second?" She kneeled and placed her 6 fingered hand on the floor.
The 4 chestbursters and 2 facehuggers crawled/slithered off of her frame and rested on the floor, facing their adoptive mother. Then Sky began shapeshifting back to her normal human self, her Yautja armor shining in the dim hallway. 3 of the chestbursters and the 2 facehuggers were frozen in shock, but not the one lone chestburster she had gained from the dying teenage boy. Sky removed her mask and placed it on a hook on her belt.
The facehuggers looked ready to pounce at her, but the human pointed a finger at them and gave a firm glare.
"Don't even think about it, you two. If I wanted to, I would've killed you already in my Xenomorph form. But I didn't, you know why?" She put her hands on her hips.
The one peach colored serpent slithered up Sky's armored leg and up to her shoulder, the other chestbursters hissed. The facehuggers still looked ready to launch themselves at her, but she continued the glare.
"I didn't because I have a big heart. I care for just about anything as long as it isn't trying to kill me, including you 5." She pointed to the younglings in front of her.
The 3 serpents lowered their heads in shame, the facehuggers did as well. Sky looked to the spider like creatures, she then snapped her fingers as if she got an idea.
"Hey you two." She whispered.
The facehuggers perked, listening to the human.
"Tell you what, I know someone who I wish would die in a ditch, if I encounter him again I will allow you to harvest him. But you will not attempt to harvest without my permission, as you've never seen him. You get a host, and a bad guy dies. That's what I call a win win, deal?" Sky asked.
The facehuggers launched at her, wrapping their tails around her arms and clamping on tight. It startled her as she thought they would harvest her instead, but she sighed of relief and chuckled.
"I assume that's a yes. What about-"
Before she could finish, the remaining chestbursters slithered up her legs and hung on tight. Sky gave them a warm expression before looking to the relic upon her arm with a smirk.
"Decepticons, say your prayers."
The human then went looking for a stairwell. But as she passed one of the rooms, the gems began to pulse with light.
