RED

Chapter 1

#TS 236T1's POV

   Only a few moments ago did the alarms start to ring, and drill their frustratingly annoying tune into my reinforced skull. I growled a spine chilling sound that I've heard the humans in white call, 'blood curdling'. I may not know what that means, but they...were...scared....

   The humans in white on the other side of the viewing window thing, left when the alarms sounded. I watch from my corner in my red room, the space outside the window. No one's there...no one's studying me...no one's guarding me.

   I rippled into existence, standing to my full height. A loud rumble in my chest was the only warning I gave, before leaping at the window. My fists clenched, and out front, shattering the window on impact. I stood up again, crawling through the new exit, and crawling onto the cold metal floor. Flexing my mandibles, I took in a large breath of the filtered air.

   "Go, go, go!", called a human from outside the door to my right.

   Tilting my head, I punched the thick metal door, sending it flying off its hinges. I bent down and crawled out the doorway on my hands and knees, folding in my pitiful wings, so they wouldn't be damaged by such a tight squeeze.

   I stood up again, instantly hitting my horns and head against the low ceiling. Hunched over now, I turn my head to see soldiers fleeing from my presence and scattering down other hallways.

   Then I saw it. The tiny female human with bright gold hair, and ember eyes.

#Gold-head's POV

   Fleeing the attacks from the south of the facility, I ran down the white gleaming halls. Pushing past the soldiers heading for the battle against our attackers, I managed to miss the terrified expressions on some of their faces. I thought for sure that they were only scared of the attack on us, but I was surely mistaken when I rounded a corner, and stopped dead in my tracks.

   Standing in the middle of the hallway, with its shoulders and wings pressed against the roof, stood the Frankenstein's Monster of our experiments. Red in colour, this massive creature was said to be a mindless killing machine. But standing frozen to the spot in front of it, with its beady red eyes, just staring at me...it seems like it's studying me.

   I took in a deep breath to calm my pulsing nerves, closing my eyes for just a moment. Opening my eyes again, I took a wary step forward. 'Our attackers are Yautja...they'll kill him...', I thought, holding out my hands, palm up, trying to tell him I'm no threat. 'Him?', I thought.

   He stood unmoving for a few of my wary steps, before suddenly turning his head down the hall behind him. Gun fire rung through the hall, accompanied by the slashing of metal blades, and the dinging of bullets reflecting off metal. They're here.

   "Come big guy!", I yelled, grabbing the big guys attention. He whipped his head around to look at me again. "We have to leave!", I called, beckoning to the way I came. He looked in that direction, before grabbing me with his massive bulky arm, and galloping down the halls.

   He was boiling to the touch. I began to sweat as he pressed me to his chest with one arm, while using his other to gallop and crawl through the narrow (for him) hallways. Other than his absurd amount of heat, and overwhelming tones of blood red, and thick steel-like muscles and all that, he was surprisingly gentle and dare I say comfortable to be held by.

   Turning into another hall, we barely managed to dodge a shot from one of the Yautja shoulder canons, as the alien hunters pursued us.

   Picking up speed, the massive red creature started growling loudly. His furry ears flicked around quickly, pinpointing the hunters following us. I grabbed hold of some of his dreadlocks as he held me tighter, while picking up speed.

   "We need to get out!", I yelled, trying to look around or over his shoulders but to no luck. His wings were just so annoying. He growled in an attempt to answer.

   'ROAR!'

   One of our pursuers roared loudly, making me flinch. Burying my face into the boiling mass of the monster holding me, I whimpered in fear as I may not live to see my glorious bestie again.

   Seemingly sensing my fear, the creature speed up even more, now just simply crashing through entire walls and doors. I shrieked in pain as a piece of debris hit my right shoulder, before we burst out into a field of damp green grass.

   We tumbled a few metres further, before coming to an abrupt stop.

   Laying me flat on the damp ground, the big red hulk stood up, staring at me. Before another blast from the Yautja shoulder canon, hit his flank and sent him flying out of view.

   Wincing as I sat up quickly, I looked to the left to see the smoking heap of red, stand up and turn to face the three alien hunters. He growled, and seemingly chuckled as he took a menacing step forward. I stared at his side in amazement as there was not a single scratch on him at all.

   Turning my attention back to the hunters, I swallowed nervously at the sight off them covered in thick human blood. 'Oh boi...', I thought nervously.

#TS 236T1's POV

   Holding my hands out to my sides and crouching low, I roared viciously at the three armoured, scaly humans a few metres from the human female. They returned the gesture, before leaping at me with their metal blades extended from their wrist gauntlets.

   Meeting them as they came down, I flared my mandibles, and bit down on one of their upper arms. Biting with enough force to break cement, I bit off the green hunters arm. He roared in pain and fury, before stabbing his blades into my flank. I chuckled, before turning my attention to the red hunter, and him by his masked face.

   With his face fitting perfectly in my hand, I squeezed with little effort. He clutched at my wrist, roaring and flailing around helplessly. After becoming bored with his fruitless labours, I crushed his mask and skull, before simply dropping him.

   Now while I had my attention on the now dead red human, the beige one was slicing at my back. I threw the green one away for now, focusing on the smaller, more ruthless one.

   Turning around I grabbed his leg and shoulders in each hand, before ripping him in half. Huh. Now I just noticed the blood is green and not red like it usually is... Hmm...

   "Ah!", screamed the human woman from behind me.

   Whipping my head around, my tresses arched in the air, as I brought my attention to the green human holding my human by her golden hair. He growled, and I reciprocated him a louder, more threatening one. Jerking his hand up, the female let out another cry of pain.

   Hissing filled the damp air around us, as the only warning for the green warrior.

#Gold-heads POV

   After the green, one armed Yautja got the red creatures attention, they both growled, before the creature abruptly vanished into nothing. The hunter standing above me tensed, seemingly worried, for the creatures sudden disappearance.

   Smirking, I remember a very clear rumour about the creatures many abilities. He could camouflage from even Yautja tech.

   A long hiss rippled through the air. It sounded so much like nails on a blackboard, that even the green hunter seemed to wince. Feeling the sudden release of my hair, I quickly look up to see an invisible force, plunge itself into the hunters chest, before ripping out its large heart.

   I froze at the sight, before coming to realise that the red creature actually used his mouth to kill the hunter. Green blood spilled from the gushing hole in the chest and the heart in his mouth.

   He un-camouflaged, dropping the green hunters body before eating his heart.

   "No!", I yelled, standing up and vomiting out my guts.
