Aliens vs Predators: Last Rites
Chapter One: The Mission
14 August 2026
Niobrara Wyoming
Secret Military Installation
Code Name: Area 28-03
Current Mission: Classified
It was the hottest day ever recorded in Wyoming, however the United States military remained partly cool in a secret military installation. The temperature was recorded as 119 degrees. Deep down in the mountainous regions of Wyoming sat a top secret military base Known as Area 28-03 unknown to the United States. The site of the Base is unseen for miles away covered in perfect camouflage. Amongst the rural areas of Niobrara, a lone hummer was roaming through the streets driving toward the military base. The vehicle had slowly approached a military post approximately a mile before the base, a marine guarding the post stopped the driver and made the vehicle stop for a moment.
“I’m sorry sir I can’t let you pass without clearance.†the guard said.
The man hopped out of his truck and saluted, "Second Lieutenant Michael De Rosa, United States Marine Core."
The guard looked up in amazement and immediately saluted to De Rosa and said, "Yes Lieutenant I apologize to keep you waiting. I’m sorry lieutenant, I didn‘t recognize you at first." The guard responded.
De Rosa chuckled, "Its not a problem Private its standard procedure anyway.†he assured the guard.
"Thanks Lieutenant." he said in regard.
"No problem I'll see you around.†De Rosa hopped back in his Hummer and rushed himself to the base. De Rosa entered the parking area of the base and parked his hummer. He hopped out of his truck and walked up to the entrance.
De Rosa came to a halt right before the main entrance. He snatched his access card from the pocket of his military jacket. He slipped the card into the security system and entered in the access code: 2803206
Access Confirmed
Second Lieutenant Michael De Rosa
The Door unlocked, suddenly De Rosa started to get stressed out and his anxiety began to act up. He started thinking to himself, “what if I am late? What if I was supposed to check in during vacation? But then he began to calm down and all his worries and fear drained from his mind.
"Okay I'm here good, that’s a start.†He assured himself.
He walked through the first door that automatically opened once he slipped his ID through the security system. Once more we walked to yet another entrance, De Rosa gripped the door and he pulled it open.
"Hey Man!" Sergeant Jack Frost. shouted.
Frost was a lower rank than De Rosa but still a high ranking officer and was very respected by fellow marines. He was a sergeant of high regard and earned deep respect from his senior officers due to hard work and leadership.
"Holy crap man you scared me!" DeRosa said while holding his chest.
“Almost gave me a fucking heart attack man.†De Rosa exclaimed.
"Sorry about that Lieutenant.†Frost apologized.
"Not a problem Frost, how you been, where you been?†De Rosa asked.
"I’ve been pretty good, and just away." Frost replied.
“Yeah on vacation and stuff thats real nice." De Rosa commented.
“Sure it was pretty good, hey listen, you should go see the Lieutenant I hear he wanted to see you.†Frost suggested.
“Really?†De Rosa asked.
"Yes." Frost replied.
DeRosa roamed through the main congregation hall where groups of many marines were conversing with one another trying to catch up after a long vacation away from the base. De Rosa struggled getting through the hall. “Jesus, its like trying to get through a god damn maze.†De Rosa told himself.
De Rosa chatted with some of his fellow marines. Corporal Jarred Jean Ethers approached him. “Hey there Lieutenant good to see you again, Ethers said while giving him a pat on the back
De Rosa came to an end of the hallway up to the doorway to First Lieutenant Mitchell's office. De Rosa cowered in the corner of the entrance, “I hope the Lieutenant is not angry with me.†he thought to himself. Mitchell was at his desk smoking a cigarette. De Rosa slowly entered the office, Mitchell looked up at De Rosa.
“De Rosa! Sit down now.†Mitchell demanded.
De Rosa took a seat in the chair across from Mitchell’s desk. Mitchell looked at De Rosa and grinned, he than began to laugh.
“How was your vacation?†Mitchell asked.
“It was pretty good, yours sir? De Rosa asked in return.
“ I really didn’t have a vacation, I had to stay here most of the time making sure everything is up to date.†Mitchell explained.
“Oh that doesn’t sound to good.†De Rosa asked.
Mitchell took a puff from his cigarette.
“You know those things can kill you lieutenant.†De Rosa added.
“Yes I know De Rosa.†Mitchell added.
He then dubbed his cigarette in the ash tray and threw it in the garbage can beside him.
"Sorry for the interruption Sir but you said you wanted to brief us with a speech." Corporal Ethers asked.
“Yes I was corporal just give me five minutes and I will be out.†Mitchell asked of Ethers.
“Yes sir.†Ethers saluted and walked out of the room.
“Actually De Rosa we should go and brief our soldiers and
welcome them back. So lets go, we will finish our conversation another time.†Mitchell suggested.
“That is fine by me sir.†De Rosa agreed.
As the two lieutenants began to slowly make their way down the hallway to the main congregation hall to see all the marines.
Suddenly an alarm had set off, Beep Beep , that constant beating continued to sound throughout the entire base.
"What the hell is going on!" DeRosa shouted.
“I have no clue, this has never happened before. Ethers tell one of the scientists from our research center to get his ass over here." Mitchell ordered.
"Yes Sir!" Ethers replied. He then sprinted out of Mitchell's office and ran toward the research center on the northern sector of the base.
“What the hell is this?†A random marine asked.
“We do not know.†Mitchell and De Rosa answered simultaneously.
Many began to panic but some remained calm. Private Gomez and Corporal Destephano tried to take control over the infested hall, littered with worried marines. They were yelling at the others trying to calm them down.
‘â€ÂSir this looks like its some kind of signal.†Frost suggested.
“What kind of signal? And someone stop that god damn beeping!" Mitchell demanded.
Ethers returned with Dr.Khazmar head of the research department. In a matter of minutes the scientists had solved the problem. The beating stopped.
"Thank God." DeRosa said.
“Okay there appears to be some sort of signal and satellite disruption.†Khazmar explained.
"Where about?" Mitchell asked.
“Over LV-862.†Khazmar answered.
“What?†Mitchell chuckled.
“But all we had there were those couple of research centers there that is all. Plus that battalion of scientists and troops.†Mitchell said.
“Well there is some sort of satellite disruption," Khazmar responded.
"But how?" Ethers asked.
“I don't know I can't get a clear visual but the infered is off the chart, here take a look.†Khazmar told Mitchell.
The three Ranking soldiers followed Dr.Khazmar to the view screen, at first they could not see anything, but then Khazmar then changed the settings to infrared and everyone saw the red glow taking up almost three quarters of the screen. The three glared at the screen in amazement. "What the fuck is going on?" Mitchell shouted. He then sat at his desk and searched through his data files.
Mitchell found no records of anything over planet LV-862. Mitchell typed into his computer:
Current Mission: Unidentified Phenomenon over LV-862
He dropped his head to the cold surface of his desk in a mixed feeling of frustration and confusion. De Rosa walked into Mitchell’s office and saw his lieutenant leaning his head on his desk.
“Lieutenant?†De Rosa said.
“Yes De Rosa.†Mitchell answered.
“What’s wrong sir.†De Rosa asked in curiosity.
It‘s just not easy anymore De Rosa, these activities going on are just complicated. I just wish I had a good guess or an Idea as to what this is but I don’t.â€Â
“I understand lieutenant, I’m sure we will find an explanation.†De Rosa assured Mitchell.
“I hope your right.†Mitchell said.
The two left Mitchell’s office and met up with the other officers. Mitchell along with his squad leaders and their Lead Scientist Dr.Khazmar headed toward the congregation hall to inform their fellow marines of their new mission. Mitchell stood up on top of a large table with a megaphone. "Good Morning. I know today we were going to brief on any news and welcome all of you back. But I regret to inform you we have just found a most unusual discovery. Our new mission will be to investigate this discovery.
Private Gomez raised his hand.
"Yes what is it Gomez?" Mitchell asked.
“What exactly is this, what your talking about?†Gomez asked.
"Okay I'm getting to that right now. We found satellite distruption above LV-862.“ Mitchell explained.
Dr. Khazmar left and sprinted back to the research sector.
“Anyway we saw on the infered read out, it showed something really large is out there. That is what our mission is, we will have to set down on LV-862. We are going to find out whats going on.†Khazmar came sprinting out of the research center with a paper in his hand. Khazmar finally approached Mitchell, out of breath, Khazmar shouted, “I got it! I found something! Look at this Lieutenant. Just look at these satellite images Sir.†Mitchell examined the images and asked, “what exactly is this?â€Â
“These seem to be space stasis pods.†Khazmar said.
“Like escape pods from a ship?†Mitchell asked.
“Yes sir.†Khazmar answered.
“What?†Ethers asked.
Okay this is really strange, we need to investigate this immediately, I can‘t risk those research centers getting damaged. Once more Mitchell made yet another announcement. “Attention marines! I want all weapons loading docks and all equipment prepared and ready on 16 August at 06:00.â€Â
"What Sir?" Gomez asked.
All the marines laughed in amusement, thinking Mitchell was being sarcastic.
“I expect your work to be done I will be inspecting your work soon." Mitchell announced.
“But that is not possible sir, your expecting us to load the ships, docking bay, and load all weapons in less than a day. That is preposterous sir.
“I mean it! I want all drop ship prep instructions complete, all equipment prepared and docking bay prepared as soon as possible. I will be inspecting your work soon.
“Yes Sir!" all the marines shouted simultaneously in hesitation.
The marines then immediately rushed into their designated work stations and began preparation. Everyone in the base spent a restless night in the base trying to get the entire preparation complete the first day.
Far out in the Dark void of space a large hulking mass of metal was drifting through the deep reaches of space. Its seemingly effortless movement was outmatched by its abnormally sheer size. Within moments a short stream of electricity blended the object seemingly to its surrounding. A large flame blasted from the ships main thruster sending it through space at an incredible speed. The ship’s engine heated up but then began to cool down and the ship began to slowly drift through space once more. Inside the ship lights started to flicker on in an exotic pattern revealing monstrous creatures pacing down long halls. The creatures stood moved similar to humans but were in a completely more advanced technological era. These creatures were of a savage species of that would stop at nothing to seek and claim, the skulls of honorable prey.
These creatures had a tradition, a tradition like nothing ever heard of. These creatures believed in a concept of the Hunt, but these creatures didn’t hunt regular animals these creatures hunted other savage species as well as human beings. A trial for a young one of these creatures was to kill a creature known as the “ultimate prey.†Standing at the front of the ship was an Elder known as Shivinyon. The Elder was the commander of that ship and controlled the actions that would take place. These “Elders†were known as the greatest of these creatures that have lived for thousands of years and have killed many different creatures. Standing beside him on stood two other of these creatures by the names of Placo Xaxaferon and Placo Blescallix. Shivinyon roared "Ka'rik'na Sertolic".
Placo Xaxaferon an ancient warrior paced down the hall to the right corridor to see Sertolic, a monstrous predator who was cleaning off his trophies, the skulls of honorable humans, aliens and several other exotic species of animals. Xaxaferon earned Sertolic’s attention and nodded to him, at that time Sertolic cleared away his trophies and walked up to Xaxaferon and the two shook shoulders. Sertolic began to slowly walk up to the front of the ship with Xaxaferon following him. While on the way Sertolic passed by several members of his hunting pack including Xerax and Guan Thwei.
Sertolic approached his Elder, Shivinyon he bowed before him and the two shook shoulders. His hunting pack then appeared behind him and they all bowed their heads before their Elder.
“Tyioe-ti launched." Shivinyon announced. “Nain-de Thwei, of Kainde Amedha and Pyode Amedha Shivinyon announced. Every creature present turned to each other and began to roar in excitement and triumph. They knew that it was that time, the time to seize the skulls of honorable. Shivinyon then announced, “Prepare.â€Â
All the creatures then separated from each other, and migrated toward their corridors to prepare for the hunt. Also for some of these predators it would be their, Kainde Amedha Chiva. It was time for yet another hunt for many predators, however for some it was the time for them to prove themselves to their elder and become warriors of the clan.
