Aliens: The Royal Hives

Chapter 11: Entering the Hive

The King ran outside and saw the ship flying away into the sky. He looked around himself and watched Mayfield Station, now in ruins, overtaken by the Xenomorphs. He was free now. The remaining Xenomorphs ran out they stopped in front of him. 

The King groaned at them like a way of thanks and shortly after the Xenomorphs walked off in all directions. The King turned around to see General Grey crawling over the floor, trying to get away. The King looked at him and came closer. 

'No, leave me alone!' He said. 

But the King grabbed him and smacked him again knocking Grey unconscious again. The King looked at him. He turned around and began to feel for a nearby nest. He focused as hard as he could and finally he felt a large presence of Xenomorphs and even a Queen not far away. He walked off with General Grey in his hand as he knew he could use him for later.

'Come on, get the medical case or something.' Wolf said. Mitchell went to the cockpit and grabbed a large medical box. He ran back to Wolf, Francine and the others who were trying preventing Malcolm from dying. 

'Shit, I think I can see his insides coming out, cover it quickly, keep pressure!' Francine held her vest against the wounds to stop the blood, but it didn't help. Right as Mitchell came back, Malcolm was put on a pile of jackets, so he could lay down. He tried to scream but he was out of air and could barely breathe. 

'No, hang in there, please!' Francine said it with a sobbing tone. Mitchell opened the case and grabbed all the bandages.

'Here take it!' He said. Wolf lifted Malcolm up while Francine wrapped the bandages around him and as tight as she could. Malcolm screamed from the pain and to move his arms and legs. 

'We need to give him something against the pain,' Esther said. Mitchell searched and found a small bottle with a syringe.

'Is this something we can use?' He asked. 

'Yes, give me that, it will put him asleep for a while. Come on then, we need to do it now!' Wolf said. 

Esther filled the syringe and made it ready. Francine looked at Malcolm who breathing heavily and trying to speak.

'You are going to be fine, I promise you,' She said. Malcolm looked at her and slowed down his breathing and nodded with his head. Francine saw this. 

'It's okay,' She said. 

'Okay, I will give him the shot now!' Esther said. She pulled the filled syringe in Malcolm's arm. He kept breathing but it quickly slowed down and he closed his eyes. 

'Come on, we have to finish the bandages now and try to find something to disinfect the wounds with,' Wolf said. 

'There must be something for that in the case. Mitchell said and he searched again and found it. 

'Is must be something we can use.' They quickly cleaned the wounds and put the bandages around him. Williams came in and said. 

'People we are one hour away from the Odysseus, how is Mr. Joseph doing? We have stopped the bleeding, but we need to hurry, he will need emergency medical treatments.' Wolf said.

'I've already informed the ship to prepare their medical personnel, they will be waiting for us.' Williams said. He walked off to the cockpit. 

'You did great, all of you!' Wolf said.

The King walked through the landscape of rocks with the sun descending and making a complete darkness. He was still looking for the Hive and he felt that it was so close. But the pain from the severe injuries caused by the bullets and Wolf's grenade distracted him and barely made him able to move further.
