"So, your majesty." I said conversationally, flexing my claws,"How does one become a queen? Are they born into it, or are they chosen through combat?" "Newmolt, You can't be so stupid as to challenge the queen!" she said. "So the answer?", I asked. "If I am killed, on of my palatines will molt into a new queen, after consuming royal jelly." "So that's what that is, interesting, this is all very interesting." I said, and lunged for her. She was faster though and blocked with her tail "Coward!" She slashed her tail at me, cutting some skin "Is that the best you can do!?" We attacked with our tails, blocking each other's attacks. She let out a strange, high pitched screech, and these giant cocoon like things on the walls opened up. Soon there were nine odd new xenomorphs, these ones nearly as big as the queen! "No! I want her head on my wall, and I want the satisfaction of knowing I did her in!" "My lady! Are you sure?" "Of Course Senpi, my king." "Are those your last words?! DIE!!" I shot my tail at her, but again she doged! How infuriating! "Your majesty!" Android said, "Can a facehugger latch onto a xenomorph?!" "Don't be silly n-- I don't know! It is unethical, but a Newmolt, hmm." I shot my second mouth out at her, but she sacrificed her arm to block it. "Fool! Self Sacrifice to save yourself is counterproductive!" I slashed my tail out again to be met with her's "Is it really?" When she released her tail, she destroyed a wall "Destroying your nest are you? Is that helpful?!" I leapt out of tail range into a hallway, and she followed suit. "Let me kill you, it will be faster!" "Never! Senpi stand back!" Aww, how adorable! She wants to protect her king! I've found her weakness. "Your 'Senpi' will have to be with me, or die, if I become Queen. Not if, When I become Queen. Stop guarding him." "AUUGH! SHUT UP!" She shot her second mouth out at me, easily dodged. She will fall soon. We locked tails again, I sliced off some flesh, leaving her screaming. "Did you get hurt?" I could feel her rage, it was powerful, but not as powerful as my desire though. I shot my mouth out, but again, she doged. I felt something crawling up my leg, and to my surprise, it was a facehugger! While I was distracted, the queen shot her tail again, and it went through my left shoulder!I screeched angrily at her, but she had me pinned. In an attempt of desperation, I shot out my mouth at her head, hitting! But her head was impenetrable. "So this is it, really." She was about to kill me, but she had let go for too long, and I rolled out from under her. "I think not!" We clashed our way down the hallway, connecting tails, shooting mouths, and slashing. We came to a hallway with many dead xenos, and a dead princess! "Ha! Your princess is dead! Your palatines and pretorians will die soon as well! I will rule!" "You sound like you are trying to reassure yourself, Newmolt." She knew nothing! I was born to rule! I was an upgraded queen! I was a Yautmorph! As soon as I was queen, Android would die, all rebels will be killed and I will rule this planet and others! Then I remembered something the queen said, what was it? Ah, yes, something about, jelly, I think. Yes! Royal Jelly! Something about feeding it to make a new queen. I could consume it and gain more power than two queens combined! I slid past her, back into the chamber, and looked around. Where was it! There! By the ovamorphs! I raced as fast as I could to the jelly "Finally! It's mine! All mine!I would have the power to kill the queen! HAHAHAHAHA-!" I suddenly felt a sharp pain, the queen! "Fool, you can't escape me so easily, the jelly is nothing for you." I sensed nothing, and then my heart stopped.
