The Predators Hunt

Escape (Alien gore)

Within the deep, cold corridors of the Laboratory basements, tens, if not hundreds of xenomorphs lined the walls behind their tight enclosures.
Each one snarled, growled, and hissed out in fury. Their queen needed them. Their mother needed them.
Each day, they could hear her cries of pain and rage. Each day, they had to get more and more desperate.
So, like the last one, a xenomorph whirled around within its cell and sunk it fangs into its own tail, biting down hard. Bone snapped in half, and putrid green blood sprayed out of the stump like a fire hose.
Instantly, the glass holding the creature back melted upon contact with the blood. The xenomorph hopped out and began to sprint across the halls, covering as many enclosures it could. Each one burned and singed away.
All the others began sprinting out as well, heading for where their queen's roars were originating.
As for the one who was quickly starting to lose energy from blood loss, it had a different instinct. A different tactic for survival.
It leapt into the nearby ceiling vent and began making it's way toward where it had seen the captors take its future siblings.

I decide to stay silent the whole time. It's what's for the best.
Zadea stands by the Clan Leader as the ship is driven to our destination. Though I can't see his face, I can tell he's pissed.
Ya'ste, despite his bruised face, polishes some of his skulls with a cocky smirk.
Ha'theh silently tinkers with yet another gadget, he doesn't need to be bothered.
So, I lean against the wall furthest from them. It gives me time to contemplate.
Not having that glaive at my side feels like the time I got a fang knocked out in battle. Except, weapons don't grow back. Especially not ones that belonged to a deceased parent.
I'm sure father would forgive me.
He would've wanted me to give it to someone I care for. That's why I had it after all. I can still remember the day he gave it to me, right before...
Right before...
His words echo in my mind,
"Son, I must pass down this glaive to you. As it was passed down to me."
"What? No! You need it for your hunt!"
"Son, listen to me. One day, you will be a greater warrior than I, and I want you to be carrying this with you when that happens."
"But, what about -?"
" I promise, whatever happens to me, or you," he had pressed our foreheads together, "it will be in glory."
That was the last thing he ever said to me. Right before he boarded his ship. Right before he went on his hunt on some distant forest planet, without the proper equipment.
Right before.....he was defeated...and....
"Don't worry about me, I've got this now. My own little memento to remember you bye."
Her voice rings out.
She has the glaive now. She's properly protected and will survive.
She has to.
She has to.
She's not like father, she's so much more. If anyone deserves that glaive, it's her. She will stay alive, I know it!
Just then, I feel a rumble under my feet. Everyone looks up simultaneously. The ship has stopped.
Except, nobody is moving. Or saying a thing. Not even the Clan Leader is flinching.
What's going on?
I take a cautious step forward.
KA-KOOOOOM!!
The ship rumbles once again. I run towards the ships window to see fire and smoke billowing from the ground.
Something has exploded.
Everyone else does the same thing I did. We all look on, mouths agape, at the decimated ooman structure beneath us. Out of the fire and smoke, many, many serpents come spilling out.
Along with them, a piercing shriek shakes the ship once more. Only one thing can make that call.
The Queen Serpent emerges from the wreckage, her great crown-like head cutting through the smoke. Then her sharp, toothy snarl. Then her long, hulking, jagged body. Finally, she's free once her massive hindlegs lift her to her full size.
"C-Clan Leader?"
That was the first time I've ever heard Zadea stutter.
Breaking out of his trance, the Clan Leader swiftly rises and turns to us all.
"No time to waste! Everyone get down there and kill every single serpent, especially their Queen. NOW!"

(Hope this doesn't suck, it's been ages since I've written in this. Hope everyone had a good Christmas!)
