The Purple Xenomorph

Chapter 55.

"Why would the P'Tuera accept a SERPENT into their clan??"

"Believe me, I am asking the same question. It may be because when I was a drone, I eliminated the Super Predators all at once. I came to eliminate that Beast of a Yautja, I'm the one he wants to fight to the death." I pounded a fist to my chestplate.

The mother and father glanced at one another but didn't lower their weapons. A strained cough from my left caught my attention, I turned my head to see the fallen P'Tuera warriors Je'Trya had brought with him. But one of them was still alive, he was sat leaning against the wall of a structure. I knew this warrior, he was the one who took me into the small scout ship to find my father. I approached the warrior and examined his wounds, a penetration through his lower abdomen. Like one that Karna had suffered a few months prior, and fortunately his wounds aren't nearly as severe as they look. The warrior lifted his head as I knelt down in front of him.

"Xeno..? Is that you?" He warbled.

"What other purple Xenomorphs have you met?" I replied.

I began helping him to his feet, which was very easy as he weighed almost nothing to me.

"I'm good as dead, just leave me.."

"Oh shut up, your injuries aren't that bad. I got some medical supplies in my ship, I can get you patched up in no time. But I admit it would be easier to help you if I was still a drone."

The warrior struggled to walk as I held onto his arm as his support, we walked past the mother and father yautjas who only stared at us as we headed for the village gate. We exit through the gate and headed towards my ship, entering through the open door. We walked through the corridor and towards my room, the only place where he can rest peacefully. The warrior and I entered my room to see Nova once again playing on the gaming system, pausing her game to turn our way. The warrior was shocked to see the neomorph sitting on the floor playing a human game.

"What is THAT??" He clicked.

"This is Nova, I rescued her from a human facility on Earth. Don't worry, she's VERY friendly."

I took the warrior over to my bed and helped him lay down. After laying him down I went to the lone storage box near my bed, opening it to find my medical supplies. Grabbing the bandages and disinfectants, I returned to the warriors side and began to work. I did the same things that Kritos did after I had molted: Clean the wounds free of blood, dabble disinfectants on the wounds to prevent infection, then wrap with bandages. Once those 3 steps were completed, the warriors wounds were patched up and the bleeding had stopped. To be honest, I don't know how he's still alive from how much blood he had lost. At least he is still alive, but he must need some food to get his energy levels to normal.

"Nova, can you be a dear and get this warrior some meat from the 'freezer'?"

"Okay Mom."

The neomorph set the controller down and left the room to get some meat.

"Now, I need to get to the Capitol to face the beast."

"The Capitol isn't that far from here, maybe 50 kilometers north." The warrior clicked.

I perked, "Really?"

He nodded, "The P'Tuera warriors may have left Yautja Prime after some of our clan became cannibals, but we still remember our home planet like the back of our scaled hands."

"Alright fair enough. Tundra, locate the Capitol and get us there." I ordered.

"Capitol Located, embarking now."

The vessel began to ascend as Nova returned with some meat for the warrior, I took the beef and removed the plastic packaging before handing it to the Yautja. He graciously took it and scarfed the meat down faster than I could blink, he really needed it. Nova picked up the controller and went back to her game of Super Mario Odyssey. The warrior was rather confused as to what she was doing and what the Television was.

"What is she doing?" He asks.

"She's playing a human gaming console called the Nintendo Switch on a device called a television. It's her entertainment." I explain.

The warrior sighed and faced me.

"Xeno, that Yautja you're going to face, it's deadly. But it has little to no battle experience, and I understand that you trained with the newcomers for a while. You roughly match the hybrids size perfectly, perhaps in strength as well. Your amount of combat training will give you an advantage against him along with other qualities. I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I believe you may be Yautja Primes only hope."

(I'm so sorry it's short, but it's better than nothing)
