The Awakening

Ako's POV~

As I addressed him, he slowly turned his attention towards me. The green blood still lingered on his lips.

He stood up and stepped forward, standing at an even height with me. His black hair fell around his face, framing his piercing black eyes. The transformation he's undergone since that fateful night on Remnant had changed him, both physically and mentally.

I have to stay vigilant unless I want to end up like T'i'ka. Yet I can't help but feel excitement fill my every being. I just know that he is more than just an experiment; he's a force to be reckoned with.

The perfect pet.

Me: Your family has been itching to meet their...well, father for a while now. I wonder how one will react to seeing their leader as an Ooman...

His head swayed and tilted with curiosity as I went to the console on the left of the cage. I typed in some commands, causing a door on the side to open in the cage. He immediately took notice and looked at the open door as one of the serpents from the holding cells was thrown in. I watched the hybrid study its dome like head as the serpent crawled towards the hybrid slowly on all fours. It hisses and lets out a shriek as it approaches him.

The hybrid stood above it as it crawls right up to him. Observing the duo while still being ready to terminate the serpent in case it harms the hybrid, I see the serpent stand up meeting the hybrids height. It bears its teeth as the hybrid just narrow his eyes and bear his teeth with his tail moving side to side.

After a few seconds of this. The serpents lips curl back over its teeth as it lets out a soft breathing sound before lowering its head and getting back on all fours. The hybrid look down on it and knelt beside it before caressing its head.

Me: Just as I thought. Having the queen embryo had passed its royalty status on to you as well.

I brings up my wrist gauntlet and start to type on it.

Me: How...unfortunate that you won't be able to make more. Considering that you lack the capability to produce eggs.

Normal POV~

You stare at the female predator and growl softly. She goes to leave after telling you to have some 'family time' with the half of what you are.

Looking at the drone and then at the door, you knew there were more of your half offspring. You could sense them...you look at the drone which causes it to look up at you. Suddenly, your neck puffs out a little as something seems to be moving up from your stomach to your mouth. A thick, slimy dark green substance drips from your mouth which causes the drone to open its mouth.

You look down at the drone and grab its head before proceeding to vomit the substance into its mouth. The drone swallows the substance then opens its mouth again which causes you to vomit more of the substance into its mouth. It swallows that load then swallows another.

You seperate from the drone just in time before Ako returns. She see you both seperate and sighs.

Ako: Well. At least I know, and soon most of the killer clan will know, that you can come to terms with the hive despite not looking the part...

Ako opens the door to which two Yautja come in with a net and tie the drone up. The drone goes willingly, much to the surprise of Ako. She looks at you as you just go into a corner and stare at the entrance of the cell as the two yautja leave with the drone.

Ako: Well done hybrid. Rest easy now. Tomorrow, you'll be introduced to the entire hive. I'm curious to how they'll react.

You watch her leave and close your eyes as you bring your knees to your head and sleep.

The hive~

The two predators bring the drone into the holding cells where other xenomorphs reside. Upon entering the room, the xenomorphs all perk up and watch the drone as it's brought back to its own holding cell with two of its brethren. One predator opens the cage and the other quickly throws the drone in with the other two.

The two xenomorphs only pay attention to the drone in the net. The drone breaks free and looks at the other two. It hisses and shrieks at them as the other two approach. Suddenly the drone's chest puffs out as it then regurgitates the substance that came from you and spreads it on the floor. The three drones then gather around the substance and purr meanwhile the other xenomorphs in the seperate cages begin to bang against the cage doors.

Timeskip, Ako POV~

I arrived at the door leading to the xenomorph holding cells.

Me: What's happening?

Cetanu turned to me with his spear in hand.

Cetanu: They've been acting up for an hour. This wouldn't have anything to do with your little hybrid would it?

I opens the door while ignoring the his inquiry about my new pet. As I opened the door I was met with a cage broken open. I hear a loud bang and investigate. I immediately stop after seeing three warrior serpents breaking open another cage. The newly freed serpents hissed and shrieked at me which causes the warriors to turn their attention to me. The plasma caster on my left arm activates as I shoot at one warrior which slams into the wall before exploding and spraying acid around it. I feel a hand grab onto my arm.

Cetanu: You want to bring the entire ship down?! Don't fire!

I growl at him defiantly but take his warning to heart as I pull out my machete out as the two remaining warriors growl while the serpent drones hiss.

I charge however the warrior's don't attack. They instead split up and make their way past Cetanu and I.

Normal POV~

Distracted, Ako is tackled to the floor by two drones while the third drone grabs onto Cetanu's spear, causing the predator to grunt and push back against the alien before slicing its stomach open with his wrist blade after freeing his right hand from the spear.

The warrior's escape the room and make their way to your location.

You hear the commotion outside your cell and open your eyes, immediately sensing the presence of the approaching warriors. The taste of Yautja blood still lingers on your lips, fueling your instincts. Standing up, you prepare yourself for the imminent confrontation.

As the warriors burst through the door, you get close to the cage's door. The warriors bow their heads before ramming into the cage. You grab the cage door's bars and pull with each assault the warriors commit on the door. Eventually the door gives way as you pull it away and throw it across the cell's room. You stare at your half brethren as they just hiss and get on all fours as you walk out of the cage. You see the door open revealing Cetanu who gave chase.

He speaks in his native tongue which you do not understand. The warrior's hiss and charge at the predator as you do the same you shoulder charge him which causes him to crash into the wall behind him.

The warrior's headbutt him rapidly into the wall, eventually making a dent and causing the predator to break his left arm and break his ribs. Green blood pours from his mask which causes you to rip off the mask and look at his face as blood seeps from his mouth. You stare at his mask and take in its design.

Noticing Cetanu try to reach for the mask. You step back and wave your hand lazily which causes the warriors to rip him apart.

(Y/n): Tro....phy....

You say, remembering the word Ako would use when describing skulls of prey she would slay after a hunt. It was the only language you could understand from her as it would play through her mask but in someone else's voice.

You put the mask on and head back to the room your half brethren were located. The warriors followed close.

Upon entering the room, you are greeted by two drone's dead on the ground and the sound of your brethren hissing and shrieking at you. You approach a cage and pull on the door. The warrior's join in as you pull the door off, freeing the trapped drones. The drones, the warriors and yourself proceed to free the others until all of them were crawling around. You head out the door again with a small army of drones behind you and two warriors beside you.

You see two predators running at you with spears drawn however they get tripped by two drones that went ahead of the group by your command. You walk past the predators, leaving them for the drones.

As you make your way through the ship, you can hear the chaos unfolding behind you. The roars and sounds of battle fill the air as your brethren attack the unsuspecting Yautja. You lead your small army towards the control room, knowing that's where Ako will be.

The door to the control room slides open, revealing Ako standing at the console. She turns around, her eyes widening in surprise as she sees you and the drones behind you.

She roars at you and shoots a net at you which sticks you to the wall. You let out a yell of help which causes the warriors to go to you and try to pry the net off you. The net cuts them and their blood burns the approaching wires off of you causing you to get free.

You look around for Ako but see she's disappeared. You look at the door and run down the hall. She had her escape but you had her scent. You come to another room where she enters a small room and closes the door shut, locking it.

You and your warriors begin to hit the door. Eventually making it give way however Ako inputs some commands into the console in the little room and before you know it, another door closes as she then launches what you assumed to be an escape pod. You grit your teeth and slam your fist into the door.

You eventually arrive at the bridge and go to the console. You try to activate it but can't understand the symbols that appear before you. Two drones bring in a predator and throw him at your feet. You look down at him and let out a low growl, your patience wearing thin. You grab him by the throat, lifting him off the ground effortlessly.

(Y/n): Planet....safety!

You toss the predator onto the console to which he looks at you in fear before frantically typing in the console as multiple planets show up in holographic form. The predator chooses one planet in particular and looks at you. You stare at the planet then at the predator.

(Y/n): Liar....

You grab onto his neck to which he squirms. The drones and the two warriors begin to hiss and screech at the scene.

Male predator: M-di!

He says in his native tongue as he shook his head, trying to tell you that he wasn't lying.

(Y/n): ....Good.

With a quick motion, you snap his neck, ending his life. You toss his limp body to the ground. You begin typing commands, familiarizing yourself with the ship's controls while also mimicking how the male predator imputed commands. The drones gather around you.

You set a time for the ship to jump and let out a small sigh. You look at your half brethren and then at your hands. There's no way the hive was gonna live like this. Not without a proper queen.

You scan the drones until your eyes land on one. You command it to come closer to which it does. You kneel down to it and remove your mask as the drone purrs at you. You smile before you begin to regurgitate. The drone opens its mouth as you once again release the glowing dark green substance from your mouth and into the drone's mouth. After that was done, you leave the hive as they stay with the drone that you had positioned to be the next hierarch.

You enter the room with the drop pods as the timer nears its conclusion. You enter a pod and sit down while looking at the controls. You start to input commands till you hear the door shut behind you. Then the second door. Until finally your launched. You look down at the planet where Ako most likely escaped to. As much as you'd love to hunt her down...you needed to discover who you were before and why you ended up like this.

Ako had an answer to the latter question....for the other....who knows?
