Evolution of the Xenomorphs Ch 7
#7 of Xenomorphs
Author(s) Note: I just realized something; you wouldn't classify a Xenomorph as a Furry would you? I mean it doesn't have any fur yet it's not a scaly either.... Guess you just classify it as a Xenomorph.... still an awesome class. I wouldn't call them just plain Aliens either cause that just sounds like weak sauce compared to 'Xenomorph(s)'. Anyhow enjoy the chapter.

Without further ado let's begin
Location: The Hive, Time: 1:30 a.m.
Venotrix watched the human fall down the shaft disappearing in to the darkness as he went. She felt like she was forgetting something very important about this shaft but couldn't place a claw on it. Hmmm... what was it? Had something to do with 'guarding it with our lives' but I can't remember. Hearing 2 approaching Xenomorphs nearby she turned away from the shaft to confront them. Both of the Xeno's were warriors and stopped and gave a growl of respect at Venotrix for her being 3rd in command and all.
"You two, I need you to go down and retrieve a human in that shaft." Venotrix said pointing with her tail.
One of the warriors replied to this, "A human got in there?! Ow shit we better hurry."
"Why? It's just a fucking shaft that doesn't lead to anywhere important" Venotrix replied in annoyed tone.
"No where important?" the second Xeno replied, "Did you forget that we moved the egg down there? We can't let that human get near it or else both our Queen and mistress Zithoria (z-i-thawr-ee-uh)will be extremely angered if it is somehow destroyed."
The mention of Zithoria was enough to send chills down Venotrix spin but with the mention of the egg being in possible danger sent her pulse racing.
"Shit! You two get down their NOW!" Venortix yelled.
Both the warriors didn't need to be told twice as they sprinted off down the shaft to deal with the human. Venotrix was about to follow them down shaft too but a voice stopped her.
"Venotrix."
Turning back around to see the owner of the voice, she saw a warrior runner.
"What is it? Make it quick."
"The 2 humans you dealt with earlier have been taken to the Queen; also she wishes to speak with you."
"Now is not a good time the egg is in potential danger."
The sound of gun fire could be heard coming from within the shaft proving Venotrixs point. Without waiting for a response she took off down the shaft with the messenger right behind her. As they got closer the sound of gunfire kept getting louder and louder. Both Venotrix and the runner stopped, no more than 20 meters from the ground, in shock at the scene in front of them. The 2 warriors lay dead on the ground but what shocked the both of them was what the human was fighting...... A hugger......
The egg....... It hatched!!??
The human gave a yell of pain as an evident *Popping* sound could be heard from his shoulder. Gritting his teeth he slammed the hugger into the ground dropping a knee on it trying to keep it down.
"Impossible... it finally hatched, for a human!?" said the runner next to her.
A second popping noise echoed in the shaft followed with another scream of pain from the human. The hugger scurried out from underneath the human and made a lunge for its prey's face.
!!!!....
====
Time slowed down for Aaron as he watched the hugger get closer and closer to his face. Legs stretched wide with its long tail swaying behind it ready to clamp around his face and neck. His mind began working in overdrive trying desperately to formulate a plan of action to save his life.... unfortunately time wasn't on his side. For one second everything was slowed down, next everything speed back up and went black...... Immediate pressure arose around his neck and head as the hugger clamped down on him, trying to choke him out to begin its work.
Nnooo!
Aaron knew that trying to get the hugger off now would be impossible without killing himself in the process.
Seems I have no other choice.........
With limited oxygen stored in his lungs and his windpipe being crushed, he franticly groped around on the floor looking for his gun.
====
"What is he doing?" asked the runner.
Instead of prying at the hugger on his face the human was crawling around on the floor reaching out and awkwardly, patting ground (due to both of his dislocated/possible fractured arms) as he went.
"He is looking for something....." replied Venotrix who also was a little confused at the human's actions.
.... Wait a minute.....
A clicking sound was heard from the human.....
"SHIT! NO!" Venotrix yelled at the top of her lungs and dove towards the human, arms stretched out in front of her.
An angry hissing noise came from the hugger as it withdrew its tail from its host's neck and slammed it on the human's hand. A muffled Hhmmfff was heard as the human dropped his gun yet again. With that taking care of the hugger returned its death grip on the neck squeezing the wind pipe and muscles surrounding it.
Venotrix landed a few feet from the two and gave a huge sigh of relief.
THAT was fucking close..... crazy shit tried to kill himself.
The human began to weakly punch the clinging hugger on its face as he slowly continued to suffocate. A few seconds later he lay motionless on the ground not breathing. The hugger acted quickly and parted the lips to the mouth and inserting a long tube like structure down into the throat (Is it just me or does the huggers 'tube thing' look like a giant cock...... coming out of what looks like a vagina in the movies...... -_-) supplying needed oxygen to the human.
*Sigh* "We need to move them to a more secure area" spoke up the runner.
"Hhmm I suppose your right, the Queens chamber would probably be best for now till we deal with the rest of the humans here."
"Right.... Do you want me to carry him?"
"It's not that I don't trust you or anything but since I am both stronger and faster than you 'I' will be carrying the both of them. You can go retrieve his gun and carry it if you want to feel useful."
"Yes ma'am......."
Using her long tail Venotrix lifted the humans limp body and set it carefully on her back wrapping her tail both around her and the human to keep him from falling off. With that taken care of she started the long trek to the Queens chamber with the Xeno runner right behind her. Other Xenomorphs they passed on their way there gave looks of shock, surprise, confusion, and some anger at the hugger on the humans face. Mumbling amongst themselves at what they saw and what it would mean for them all now.
Just as well. If I didn't witness what I saw happen I would be skeptical about this whole thing too. But still..... why did it choose a human? Granted this one's by far different from others I've encountered but they are all a weak pathetic race that sticks their nose where it doesn't belong.
The human stirred on her back a mumbling sound coming from him as he seemed to be coming to from his black-out. The hugger tightened its tail around the neck and squeezing down on the humans face causing the human to go silent once more.
Aww..... looks like love at first site to me.
They all finally came to the entrance of the Queens chamber guarded by several warriors at/near the entrance. A figure emerged from the entrance that Venotrix quickly recognized and gave an annoyed growl at the person (creature? I don't which to use here.....).
"Rocxis, what the hell do want?"
"Just a friendly chat is all" said Rocxis still smiling, "the Queen was starting to worry about you and I was about to go looking for you."
"Spare me the lies; you just wanted an excuse to lecture me on something that I have neither the interest nor responsibility for just to make yourself look good."
"Perhaps that too, but what I do want to know is where you have been during all this time while the group of humans ran around like they owned the place."
"I did what you failed to do as 2nd in command and caught the last three humans."
"Congrats do want prize for it? Maybe the Queen will let you keep one of them as a reward for saving us all" Rocxis mocked.
"Unfortunately the one I would have picked is taken now..... But I still got some time to have fun with him before he dies."
"Does he feel the same way for you as you do for him?"
"As if I'd stoop that low smart ass and even 'if' I did I bet he would be way better then you."
"Please. My 20 inch would leave you passed out on the ground from all the orgasms you'd have."
"I heard your only a size 10, how fitting for you."
"Who told you that?"
"Doesn't matter, did you happen to notice the 'hugger' on his face or are you too busy trying to peek underneath my tail?"
"Hmm.... No but I did see the gash across your chest, don't tell that human did that to you."
"Yes he did, surprisingly he knows how to fight."
"Pfff I would like to see and be the judge of that."
"You can't kill him."
"Says who? He's just a fucking worthless human that no one will miss."
"Again you fail to notice the most important things.... makes me wonder why the Queen put you in 2nd command. The 'hugger' on his face is from the egg but obviously you can't tell the difference between it and a normal hugger."
Rocxis cocky demeanor disappeared instantly at the mention of the egg and the word 'hugger'. Spinning around he took a good hard look at the human.... his jaw dropped. Just as Venotrix said the egg had hatched and chosen a host.
"It chose a human? The Hell! We offered it shit tons of hosts and it picked this shit!?"
"Would you shut-up! Or else the Queen is going to-"
"BRING HIM IN HERE NOW!!!"
Both Rocxis and Venotrix cringed from the load mental scream from the Queen and looked towards the entrance with a little fear.
"Nice going dip-shit. I was hoping to break the news to her easy but thanks to you I'm going to get my ass scolded for not telling her sooner. That and she is going to want to know all the details as to how this happened."
"None of that is my problem so I don't care."
Rocxis glared at the unconscious human before giving an angry growl and walking into the Queens chamber. Venotrix followed behind but stopped just short of the entrance.
Okay. Just say what you know and this should go by smoothly, maybe.
With that she entered and saw the Queen laying down on her cot (If can call it that.... It's more of a giant spongy spider web) ranting at Rocxis about security measures or something but stopped as soon as she got near.
The Queen was silent, staring at the hugger latched to the face of the human. She was in total shock for this would change the tides of many things for their race. "How long has he been in this state?" the Queen slowly spoke still looking at the hugger and human.
Venotrix uncoiled her tail around herself and the human, gently setting him down in front of her before answering. "About half an hour ago, I sort of....." Taking a deep breath and exhaling she continued expecting the worse. "Chased and knocked him down into the shaft with the egg."
"And you didn't pursue him?"
"I sent 2 warriors down after him. He killed them both with only his knife I believe and around that time the egg hatched. I went down when I heard gunfire from within and when I arrived I saw him fighting the hugger."
"How much of the fighting did you see?" This human must be an excellent fighter or have some other extraordinary talent or else the egg wouldn't have hatched.
"I only saw the very end. They were both locked up in a battle of strength & Stamina and the hugger disabled one of his arms. However the human kept up a good fight and tried to hold it down with his other good arm and a knee on top of it."
"So he's at least a quick thinker in battle but that shouldn't have been enough for the egg to have chosen him. For fucks sake we offered it countless Predators and it rejected all of them" inputted Rocxis.
"Yet he was still able to survive against it for at least 5 minutes. He obviously didn't have the strength to fight it head on so he fought it with strategy. Attacking from a distance when possible and kept countering its moves as best he could" Countered Venotrix.
"So he's a strategist too; A lot of good it did him for he still lost and now his life is going to end."
"And you are forgetting how long the pregnant-ion stage is going to last.... The hugger will remain on his face for a full 12 hours and after it comes off we still have to wait 1 week or 2 till our races 'new future' is born" Stated the Queen now looking at the human. "Until then we must guard this human with our lives and keep both him and the growing embryo well nourished."
"That in its self is going to be a problem.... With all due respect my Queen keeping this human in full health will be difficult. They are not built to live the life style we do nor do we have the necessary knowledge or supplies to help him if something should happen to him during the cycle."(Venotrix).
"Then you and Rocxis had better find and get what we need to keep him in excellent health for 2 weeks. I will watch over him for now but once we obtain what we need then you will be his personal guard Venotrix."
"As you wish my Queen" said Rocxis and Venotrix in unison.
"Good, now since we can't question this human at the moment go get what information you need from his squad. They should know everything we need to get and who knows one of them might be... Ow what's the word they use....... A Medic? Yes that's it."
"I'll take care of that" growled an anxious Rocxis.
"Don't kill them, or at least not in-tell this one wakes up" pointed Venotrix.
"I'm not going to kill them, just roughen them up a bit. I like my meat 'tender'."

"Ugh. My fucking head!" Mark slowly opened his eyes to see Nathan pacing franticly back and forth. "Hey Nath, what's going on?"
"Ow hey Mark glad you're up, I was starting to lose it."
"Lose what? Where are we?"
"My sanity, we're in some sort of holding room at the moment and the exit is being guarded by 3 warriors."
"3 Huh? That makes since since there's 3 of us."
"Uhh, there are only 2 of us here at the moment. Not sure where Aaron is but he's not here."
"What?" Sure enough it was only Nathan and him with the company of 3 warriors at the far end of the room. 2 of 3 were talking while the 3rd was watching Nathan who was still pacing back and forth. "Hey uhh Nathan one of the Xeno's is staring you down.... like hard core."
"I know.... that's one of the reasons I'm starting to lose it. It's been staring at me since I woke up."
Despite the situation they were both in Mark couldn't help restrain himself at the joke that popped up in his head. "Maybe it's a female in heat imaging all the naughty things she could do with you."
"Wow! Wow! There's no way I'm going anywhere near that."
"You don't have to insert the plug, she can do that herself whether you like it or not" said Mark still teasing Nathan.
"Ok seriously stop it's not funny."
"Alright alright I'll stop... But still, why don't you stop making yourself interesting and just sit down."
"No I tried that and it only got worse. I could feel its cold glare on the back of my neck."
"Hehehe"
Nathan and Mark turned towards the door to see a 4th Xeno there and a big one at that.
"Hello. I trust the room we provided for you is to your liking."
"Could have gone without the 3 creepy guards but I guess its okay." (Nathan).
"Compliments of the Hive, anyway I'm not here for pleasant chit chat. I need some Information the two of you have."
"What about? If it's about the base's lay out your out luck we didn't get dropped off there."
"No it has to do with your human friend."
"Deceased or un-deceased?" asked Nathan.
"Un-deceased."
"That limits it down to Dave or Aaron" spoke Mark.
"No your friend Dave died 20 minutes ago, from what I heard he didn't taste very good." Rocxis gave a creepy smile as he said that making the 2 humans squirm a little.
"You piece of scum."
Still smiling Rocxis continued, "You can corporate or follow your deceased friend here and now."
"Don't know about you Mark but I chose follow."
"Fine. What is it you want to know?"
"Human autonomy and health mostly" replied Rocxis.
"Uh well, that's a little bit too broad for us. If you needed help with a map or something mechanical fixed we could have helped. But medicine is not our strong point so we only know the very basics." (Nathan).
"Such as?" (Rocxis).
"How to clean and remove bullets from wounds, treat burns, broken bones, and common illnesses. As far as surgery or operation reconstruction goes we wouldn't know where to start." (Mark).
A lot of fucking help these two are. "Tell me, are you humans mostly carnivores or herbivores?"
"Were omnivores but we prefer meat overall."
"And you have to eat it cooked?"
"If we don't want to get sick yeah but it probably wouldn't kill us or at least not right away." (Mark).
Going to need some access to fire then.... Damit all. "Congratulations you two just made my day more complicated and for that you get to live a bit longer."
"Why?" Nathan asked.
"Because you may be needed within the next week or two so get comfy for you're not going anywhere soon." Turning around and walking out Rocxis went to go find Venotrix to begin gathering the materials they would need.
Time: 3:00 a.m. Location: Within EV-697's orbit.
"So the humans beat us to the Hive did they?" Spoke a voice in the dark circular room with a red hologram showing the humans orbiting gun ship.
"This will not be tolerated! They will ruin everything we worked so hard to obtain." Spoke another voice in the room.
"We should be looking at this as an opportunity. They will distract the Serpents allowing us to complete our mission with relative ease." Said the third voice in the room.
A fourth voice answered the third. "Not if the humans have already begun their assault on the Hive. They are reckless and will end up destroying the one thing we are here to retrieve."
"Then we must quickly send in our warriors into the fray before we miss this chance. Once we have safely obtained the egg we can wipe out both sides of the field" re-spoke the first voice.
"What if the egg has already chosen a host?" (The 2nd voice).
"Then we must find and retrieve its host then."
*Yawn* It's off to bed for me.
