Alien vs. Predator: Annihilation

Chapter 18: The fallen warrior

Drawing upon his final breaths, Valdez clutched his wounds. He was surprised at the fact that he had survived those blows. But his time was limited. Already his vision was beginning to blur. Objects began to swim in and out of focus. He saw the ship blasting off into space; no doubt away from this retched place.
He pulled out the detonator from one of his pockets. As he extracted the detonator, he gazed at the red button. He gazed at it as though it was the salvation he was looking for. Using his other arm, he pulled out a beer.
“Heh, no sense in wasting this, though I’d hope to drink it along side my comrades.†He said as he lifted the tab and raised the can as high as he could. “To you sons of bitches!†he declared as he drank the contents of the can, all the while pushing on the button.
His strength finally gave. His arm went rigid and it fell to his side, the beer spilling along the floor of the port. His sights turned to the timer set on the detonator.
T – Minus 10:00 minutes it read.
As the count down began, he started to reminisce the events that happen only moments before.

As he ran down the flights of steps a thought occurred to him. For once he wished it were someone else running down these steps in his place. Upon the fourth flight from the last, he encountered several Xenos trying to make their way up the stairs. They instantly took notice of his presence. The one in the lead let out a screech to alert the others behind it. Valdez pulled a pin on one of his grenades and dropped it over the side. The Xenos took no notice of the object falling past them. It landed on the second set of stairs. Its dinging sound caused the Xenos to turn in curiosity. Valdez moved way from the edge and shielded himself. The explosion caught the Xenos and killed them instantly.
“Yeah! Take that you mother fuck-“ Valdez proclaimed until he realized he had taken out a good chunk of the stairs. Shit he thought.
He descended as far as he could and risked everything to luck as he dropped. As he landed on some rubble, he did a sort of crouch roll and hit his back upon a steel pipe protruding from the wall. The jagged edge sunk into his body and extended out of his chest. He stippled an urge to yell as he grabbed on to the pipe with one of his hands.

T – Minus 8 minutes 27 seconds

“D-dam.†He said as he removed himself from the pipe.
It left a very large hole in his body. He pulled out his med-kit and quickly but inefficiently set to stop the bleeding.
“Just a few centimeters from the heart.†He said after patching himself up as best as he could.
He picked up his rifle and edged his way to the door way to the floor he had to cross to get to the generators. As he peered out side he saw many Xenomorphs fighting the hunters he had encountered earlier. He looked for a possible opening to get through.
At last he found one or it happened as he looked. The alpha Xeno and a hunter with a bloodied hand were going toward each other. This caused many of the Xenos and hunters to be forced out of the way. Valdez took his chance. As the two collided with one another, he ran through the chaos in front of him. Valdez ducked and weaved through the many tails of the serpents. Was it possible, he thought, that there was this many creatures in this colony?
Just as he was about to clear the mob a sudden jerk to his leg stopped him.

T – Minus 6 minutes 12 seconds

He turned to see a Xenomorph clutching his leg with its claws. But what shocked Valdez was that this Xeno had no legs. They had been cut off with apparently to be intense heat, judging by the burnt flesh along the cut. The Xeno tried pulling him down Valdez aimed his rifle at the creature and fired of a quick shot. The round pierced through the creature’s skull with ease. The Xeno went rigid and fell limp. Valdez removed his leg from its clutches and tried to back away.
The instant he turned, he met face to face a hunter. It just looked down upon Valdez through its mask.
“What do you wear a mask for? Is it to hide that ugly face of yours?†Valdez shouted to its face.
The hunter, though influent in human language, recognized the tone and swiped at Valdez. He quickly dodged the strike by rolling to his left. But upon recovering from the roll, he soon realized that he caught the unwanted attention of the Xenos fighting nearby. A few of them gave chase to him. Behind them was the hunter he foolishly mocked.
As he ran to the generators, he quickly glanced at the entourage that followed. Despite his pain, he turned on the spot and fired off a few grenades from his pulse rifle. A few of them hit their mark and sent pieces of them all over the place. The ones that didn’t hit stuck the hordes of Xenos around them. One of the Xenos leaped at him and sent him flying back a few feet. This Xeno was enraged at the death of its brothers and began to head bite Valdez. Valdez needed to think quickly, it was only a matter of time till the Xeno thought of something else. Valdez pulled out his pistol and fired a few rounds into the Xeno. Blood spilled from its body and fell on to his leg. Searing shot through him, but Valdez used this moment to throw off the attacker.
Valdez rolled over and tried to crawl away from the scene. Another stab of pain told him otherwise. A Xeno tail struck him from his back and lifted him off the floor. He saw his attacker straight in the face. Though he thought the smell of old dead meat was a bit of a turn off.
The creature tried to head bite him then and there. But sharp reflexes said other wise. A dagger stabbed the second mouth as it came out.
“Now, now,†Valdez said through heavy breathing, “no tongue.â€Â
And before his very eyes, the Xeno’s head came off. The body fell limp causing him and it to fall to the ground. Valdez removed the tail and got up. He turned to the decapitator who he quickly recognized as the hunter he mocked earlier.
“Crap,†he said as the hunter swiped and sent him flying into crates nearby.
With a crash, Valdez smashed several crates in, creating a very uncomfortable position for him as the hunter neared. It then began to extend its combi-stick and was readying to finish him off. Valdez tried to reach for his second pistol, but the hunter had other plans. It stabbed him through the chest.
Valdez let out a loud groan as the tip of the spear was removed. The hunter then continued to stab Valdez.

T – Minus 4 minutes 56 seconds

After twenty minutes of torture, the hunter raised its spear for the final time.
Translated from Predator language: “Now I will end this you hairless ape!†it spoke.
Suddenly a tail wrapped around his neck and pulled him back. Valdez passed out from the pain that went through his body.
He awoke later to his current state watching the timer ticking down till the explosion.
He slowly started to lose all sight. The numb feeling was quickly spreading through his entire body. Darkness filled his eyesight. All went dark. Valdez lay there broken and bruised, but he died knowing he had accomplished his goal.

Alien vs. Predator: Annihilation

Chapter 19: For honor

No words could describe what was going on. It was as if two colossal forces were clashing, almost like Titans in Greek mythology. One born of mans flesh, the other of the stars….
Ravage and the alpha were going at it like there was no tomorrow. Predator elders would tell of this battle. That is, if any of them ever witnessed it. Ravage was alone; no one would come in the nick of time if he was caught off guard. He had to win, even if the cost caused him his own life.
After the Alpha had thrown him across the room to the other side of the hive, it began its advance. Ravage had few minutes before the clan would start its cleansing of the complex. He had to win within that time frame. He quickly dodged left as the Alpha in its rage sent a metal plate that had came loose in the previous engagement flying his way. He returned the favor with smart disks. As they flew through the air, the Alpha managed to swipe at a few, knocking them off course and into the surrounding Xeno’s. One of the smart disks managed to sink into the Alpha’s chest. As it dug in, the Alpha let out a terrible screech of pain. Ravage took his chance to take it close quarters. Although it had a slight advantage in this field, he could only last so long taking it out at a distance….
Just a few feet from the creature, he noticed that several Xenos had moved from their ranks and pelted straight to him. He had only a few moments to defend him as half a dozen bulldozed him. With his combi-stick the only thing between him and the flashing, drool covered teeth, he had to think of something quick. His prayers were answered as the Alpha recovered and swiped at the Xenos apparently enraged at them for attacking its prey. It continued to swipe until all the Xenos were gone. Then seeing Ravage, it quickly tried to dig its claws into him. Ravage leapt back, just enough to keep out of reach of the claws and trust the combi-stick forward.
Success! It struck the same place that the smart disk hit. He pushed with all his strength to press the creature back. He then noticed he was the one moving, not the creature. As his forward most hand made contact with the exoskeleton of the Xeno, he tilted his head up. It was one of the most disturbing things Ravage had ever lay eyes upon. The thing looked as if it were smiling…
With its right arm the Xeno brought it crashing down upon Ravages body. The force buckled Ravage’s legs so he was force to a short crouch. Then it followed up with a side swipe with its left sending him flying a few feet. The monster then grabbed at the combi-stick and snapped it where it was most visible entering the body. It examined the opposite tip for awhile before deciding to send it into its owners own body. During this time Ravage recovered and pulled out his sacrificial dagger. As the hulking behemoth neared Ravage swiped. It sliced straight through the Xeno’s wrist disconnecting the arm and sending a streaming flow of acidic blood his way. A fair amount splashed on his armor. As Ravage busied himself with removing the decaying armor, he took no notice the Alpha withdrawing…
After finally removing the armor, he just then noticed that the Alpha was gone. Alert he looked around. The only thing he saw was the other Xenos readying themselves at Ravage’s demise. Sad, Ravage thought, they will never get that wish. Every screech and hiss jumped at him. He was well aware how much good it would do if the Alpha surprised him while armor less. He pushed the thought of himself being ripped apart, out of his mind. Just as he turned to see nothing, he took note at the fact that a shadow had fallen upon him. He knew there where less sources for shadows here. He dodged left just as the hulking mass of the Alpha came crashing down. The force was so strong, the Alpha managed to break through the layer of resin and smash the metal plating that lay below sending clouds of dust. Ravage switched to his electro visor and saw the Alpha advancing to him. He wondered how much visibility the creature had with this sudden obstruction. He decided to test it out. He moved silently to the creatures flank ready to move if it sensed his presence. It didn’t react at all. It just stood there aimlessly viewing left and right. Ravage closed in on it, careful not to touch the tail. Just a few feet, then he’d send the dagger straight into the creature’s neck…
The Alpha turned to face Ravage quicker than lightning, and back hand smacked him feet from him. In the flight, Ravage dropped his dagger. Ravage crashed to the ground in a crumpled heap. He struggled to get up. His hand felt something long and slender. His dagger he thought? No this is much larger than a dagger. He grabbed hold of the object and learned that he grabbed a Plasma Scythe. Bayne’s Scythe…
The Alpha darted forward, taking no notice to the object in Ravage’s hand. The Alpha neared apparently wanting to take a piece of Ravage’s flesh. Ravage activated the scythe that swung it. The Alpha barely had time to register the glowing object that appeared out of now where. It tried to dodge but it suffered a slice to its stomach. Deep enough to graze the back bone of the creature. It let out a howl of pain as more blood oozed forth. Ravaged thanked his comrade for giving him this gift from beyond the grave. Ravage readied himself and prepared for the onslaught from the creature. The Alpha charged forward, not caring for its wounds. It wanted the hunter dead. It rammed its head into Ravage. Ravage swung but the scythe missed for the creature moved too fast for Ravage to take out. He managed to slice the top most part of its head. It carried Ravage far back. He was determined not to lose the scythe…
The Alpha made contact with the opposite wall. The force of hitting the wall added to the force from the Alpha slightly dazed Ravage, but he struggled to remain conscious. He looked at the Alpha straight in the face. He wondered what it was going to do next. He got his answer only too soon.
The creature sent its tail into Ravage’s stomach lifting him up a few more feet on the wall. Its only good hand clutched Ravage’s throat. With one finger it pried the mask off Ravage’s face. He knew the end is coming and he wanted to greet it with all his rage. Just as the creature opened its mouth to attack, Ravage plunged his hand into the mouth and grabbed the second mouth. It tried to launch the mouth but with Ravage’s grip on it, it instead sent the mouth in the top of the skull where it exited out of the front. Blood splashed on Ravage’s face. The Alpha in one last burst of rage bit down on Ravage’s hand and began to pull left and right. Ravage felt the creature’s teeth rip through his wrist cutting all the muscle and nerves he had. Ravage brought the scythe up and sliced the remaining portion of the back that held torso and legs together. Together they fell to the floor. Both unwilling to die before the other. A suddenly explosion and a great ball of flames engulfed them. Ravage had succeeded in his goal. He allowed death to bathe him over, taking him to the after life. At last he felt nothing, no pain, sorrow, and anger, nothing….

----------
“What happened?†Leandros8 asked.
“It seems that the humans had one surprise left in store.†Vezok replied.
Aboard their ship, the surviving Predators and the Elder watched as the colony became engulfed in the fire ball that started just where the humans had left….
“What of Ravage?†asked Vezok.
“He wanted to avenge Bayne.†Leandros8 replied.
“I see,†Vezok replied, “so he forgot the reason why he and Bayne went down there.â€Â
“Which was?†Leandros8 asked.
“To decide who would be my successor.†Vezok replied not taking his eyes off the fire ball.
Leandros8 remained silent.
“Make a course for home.†Vezok commanded.
“For what purpose?†Leandros8 asked.
“To tell the council the deed that Ravage created. Surely they will see the greatness Ravage had done today.†Vezok replied.
“And what of the humans?†Leandros8 asked.
“Leave them. They have earned the right to live another day.†Vezok said.
The space craft cloaked itself and disappeared into the black void of space.
