Bio
I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays. I find myself okay with GMing my own roleplays, but I would rather be involved in a roleplay where I dont have to build something all the way up and then regulate that role play as well as run it. I have many oc's as well, all made to fill in for different purposes.

@Aintitfun1997 and there it is.
Little Hotaru,... well okay she was 18, not exactly little anymore was moving down a side walk. The magnum pistol her father gave her tight in her hand. Her eyes constantly darting around the streets. When she thought she heard movement she ran and ducked behind a car. Only what she was hiding from wasn't on the other side of the car. As she listened she noticed it didn't sound like whatever it was, wasn't walking on sidewalk or pavement. She spun around to see the creature on the wall of the building to her right. It was stalking her, she knew this because she remembered it from before. It and the 9 etched into it's head. Suddenly bullets ripped into the building around it and it scurried off. When she turned to find the owner,.. what she saw was a man sitting in a hummer. His helmet all positioned perfectly on his head. He waved her over and she came to the hummer she saw a team of roughly four more soldiers. They were not Erika's team. One of which opened a door and helped her inside. She sat there thinking she could finally relax. Her clothes were covered in blood. When the soldier went to check her if she was injured she waved him off. "It's not my blood,.... it's my fathers. That same one you guys shot at.... it was the one who killed him. It must have followed after me to finish the job." She said. The other soldiers looked to her and then at each other. The whole city was going to shit and there was nothing they could do. The driver turned forward and slammed his fist into the dash board.
"Well at least we got one civilian,... lets get her across the bridge." He said and he stepped on the gas and the vehicle pulled forward. Nine came out from it's hiding spot and hissed. That one hiss signaled about a half a dozen or so more of its kin. Maybe more, to come out and chase the vehicle......
........... Erika's hummer was traveling down one of the streets of Manhattan, Erika turned around and looked at Blitz. "Not everyone has been evacuated yet,... we are to save as many as we can." She said turning back around. "We are also tasked with thinning the Xeno population, so like Mile said before. Both." She didn't know what Blitz's problem was but this was not the time or place. She had been a problem ever sense she was transferred to her team. As if it was Erika's fault that she lost her previous team. She simply just shook her head.
The hummer stopped when Miles noticed something. It was a pretty shitty looking vehicle barreling up the road. Behind it was a whole lot of shit coming their way. Who ever drove that vehicle must have pissed off one of the Xenomorphs and now the rest was chasing them. Miles tapped on the hood of the hummer. "You see that Jarvis,... handle it." He ordered. It did not take long before suddenly bullets began firing out of the .50 calibur ripping into the Xenomorphs around the beat up Voltswagon. The humvee itself even pushed forward taking to the second lane opposite of the Voltswagon threatening to trample and take out any of the bastards that got in it's way.
Nine was watching it all from the top of building. It was not enjoying what it saw. Her kin were being slaughtered by that large calibur weapon that the humans had. It made a hiss and suddenly the Xenos that were chasing the girls and the humvee stopped and retreated. She had a plan for them.... they were not getting off this island. Nobody was getting off this island. She turned and saw her other kinsmen. One, six, and ten. She made a hiss to them and they lowered their heads and backed away and took off. They took with them a great number of the xenomorphs. To do what nobody would know, until it was too late.
Erika looked past Blitz and David narrowing her eyes as she saw the Xenomorphs retreat. That was just as disturbing then what they just saw. If the reports she read on the things were true,... that only meant one thing. They were planning something and she didn't like it. With the humvee now right behind the Voltzwagon that housed Elyana and Kiley. There was little obstacles in there way as they made for the bridge. Erika did not like it at all.... that was way too easy. "Why do I get this feeling we are being led into a trap....." She
said not to particularly anyone.
David turned around and looked back to Erika. "You don't look at all surprised to see them. Well like you've seen them before." He said to her. She waved her hand side to side.
"Only in reports,... nothing special. I mean it would be smart to research ahead of time what our jobs would entail right?...." She asked and saw him raise a brow. This caused her to raise both of hers. She looked over to Miles tilting her head.
"You didn't tell them?" She asked and he simply ignored the question. She rolled her eyes and looked back to David. "Our division,... Miles division is incharge of dealing with alien life forms. Specifically, the things we just saw. Wayland Yutani corporation has faced them once or twice during their explorations beyond our solar system." She explained. This caused him to nod and turn around to stare at some of the creatures that had not yet vanished into the alley ways. "So our company brought them to earth?...." He asked.
She simply nodded. "Yup, they thought they could keep them contained and did a good job at it actually, however some organization sabatoged the facility and they got out. Once that happened shit hit the fan real quick." She said. David once more turned to look at her and nodded.
"I would like to know which stupid group thought it was smart to do that." He said. This made her smirk . She agreed completely. She then turned around and saw that the bridge was coming up. She gestured to Miles to pull alongside the Voltzwagon. He looked to her and then forward and did what she said. She was smart so he decided to take faith in her judgement. Once they were alongside the tiny car she rolled down her window. She then stuck her head out and made a motion for her to roll down hers and for her to stop the vehicle.

Jin and the police officers remained on the top floor barricading themselves in the offices using the desks and file cabinets. Trying their best to block any way in. Jin was not too happy with his current position but he was alive and couldn't really complain. Danny was dead,.... the closest thing to a little brother. He was always getting the kid out of trouble but this time he couldn't. He was likely dead now. Hopefully Taki was far enough away from this place and was safe. Then he thought of his fiance. He sighed and shook his head. You don't have the time to think of that kind of shit right now Yojiro. He looked over at the police officers. They just looked right back at him expecting him to tell them what next to do.
He simply rolled his eyes. "Look you know what to do, you are all officers of the law. You don't need me to hold your hands. Just because I took initiative and got you all up here doesn't mean I am in charge." He said. He sighed and cursed underneath his breathe. If his uncle saw him right now he would laugh. Jin Yojiro, taking charge of a bunch of scared shitless cops.
He then heard a pound at one of the doors. Luckily with the filling cabinet in front of it to keep it from getting slammed open. The monster on the other side would find it one hard time to get in. The windows were another story though.... they couldnt possibly block all of them. He sighed and figured it would only be a matter of time before they busted in.
....... Taki wasn't too far away. She had a friend with her this time. All she had was a machine pistol and him a regular .45 auto. They needed something a bit better. Therefore she decided to head towards one of the hideouts the Yakuza used. It should have some sort of fire power.

@Aintitfun1997 It's okay, preparing another post right now. It will be pretty awesome.
@Aintitfun1997 I am about to build some Xenomorph character sheets. Only ones with the numbers on their forehead. You didn't kill Seven off so tis good but for future prefs I will control the Xenos with Numbers.
Erika walked into the main office and looked at the person on duty. "I am here to see Miles is all,... he called me. You know what it's all about?" She asked. The officer just shrugged. She sighed and continued past him tossing the empty bottle into the trash can. As she walked down the hall she saw armed guards outside his door. Now she was starting to worry. As she approached they side stepped and one grabbed the door nob and pulled the door open. She nodded and stepped through. Not just every lieutenant but every major and high ranking officer on base stood in the room. She gulped and stepped forward the door closing on her way in. "Alright now that your all here...." Miles pressed a button on the phone sitting on the desk. "Repeat everything you just said to me General......"
"Forty hours ago a attack occurred on the Wayland Yutani building in central Manhattan. We don't know if it was terrorists or what, but the damage has been done. A few secrets we held within the labs below escaped. Xenomorph Class.... you've read reports about them before and know what to expect. We got a infestation on our hands. You will all be put to the task of cleaning it up. We have gotten reports from civilians of them being spotted all over the place already. Nothing to special just single glances of solitary specimens. They are probably not at full strength yet using the sewers to get around. Problem is it wont take long before they are. You people are to evacuate as many as you can and kill as many of them as you can if you run into them. Your orders are to shoot them on site. That is all dismissed." After that came static. Miles looked up at all the men and women that shared the room. A lot of them did not know what to do. They trained all their lives for this moment and now the day had come to put that training to the test would they be able to overcome this obstacle? Will they survive? or are they all fucked.
Erika looked up at Miles. "Well sir.... what are your orders." She asked. Miles looked right to her and smiled.
"Your orders are simple.... evacuate the city. We have enough soldiers here at the base to do it. My division will start in Manhattan. The rest of you will do the rest of the city. If you have contact with the Xenos you shoot them on sight." He said. He looked to the other men and women and they all returned nods. With that they exited the room and proceeded out side. Erika and Miles where alone for about a second or too. "Well lets go.... nothing more to do or say but our jobs." She said. Miles stood up straight and hoisted up his rifle. "Well lets hope it ends as beautifully as the General said it..."
--------------------
"From what I heard,... she lost a brother in the east. Do to one of them uprisings. Her father put her here to keep her from getting killed.. Funny thing is her job is a lot tougher then her brothers was." Jarvis said. He then looked to Blitz. "She is also are superior officer so giving her a bit of respect is expected. She ain't nothing she special. If she was truly given special treatment,.... she would be a much higher rank then what it is." He said. He then shrugged and went back to his work. "She also saved David's life once... nearly at the cost of her own from what I heard." He looked to the other man. "Right?" He asked. David simply nodded.
"Yeah l don't really want to talk about it.... lets just enjoy the day." David added. He leaned back and laid in the Jeep. Jarvis crouched down and as he did so he saw a few squads mobilizing. He stared in their direction as he continued to wash the jeep. "Is there some practice run that I wasn't told about?....." He said. Then suddenly came running towards them was Erika and Miles.
"Get your shit together guys,... we are finally mobilizing." Erika said. Jarvis looked to her and smiled. "Cool what planet we going to?... Mars?.....Saturn?" He asked. Miles put a hand on his shoulder.
"Manhattan,... turns out Xenomorph class species escaped from the labs. They have already been spotted in several places across the city. We are to evacuate the island and kill as many of those things we see." He said. Jarvis went white in the face at the answer. He always pictured to fight them on some distant planet ,but not on their home turf. What did Wayland do? He sighed and climbed into the jeep and positioned himself on the big gun on top. Miles took to the driver seat while Erika took to the passenger side. Miles was nervous and so was Erika. She knew she had a bad feeling something was going to happen, and it was a bad feeling. She sighed and looked to David and then Blitz. Once she felt everyone was secure Miles floored it. They joined what would seem like one big mobilization of vehicles. Mostly trucks, armored transports, and jeeps just like theirs.
-------------------------------------
Hotaru was located in her apartment, not too far away from Kiley's and Elyana's. A lot more fancier and more prettier of course. Hotaru sat there at the table eating some of her birthday cake with her father. Then he pushed a present towards her. "Go on open it..." He said. She looked to him and then the present and pulled the string and began to unwrap it. What she saw was a small case. The outside was leather with a steel trim. She pressed down on the cache and opened the box. What she saw was a .44 magnum. She looked right up at her father with a curious look. It looked a lot more shiny and it had even a few customization's. Such as a laser sight and a heavy looking frame. It sure was heavy and when she picked it up she could feel it. She then looked to her father. "A gun?"
"New York is a dangerous place,... you might need it." He said in response. She sighed and would have refused it ,but.... he was right. It was a dangerous city with all kinds of bad people in it. She looked over at the others and they were small gifts as well. When she pulled one in and opened it. What she discovered was a locket. When she opened it she saw a picture. On one side was her and her father. On the other was her Mother with her father. "I know you miss your mother despite her leaving us...so I put that picture in there." He said. She smiled and nodded. She quickly put it on and before she could grab another present she heard screaming. When she looked to the door she could swear they came from outside. She got up and was going to move towards it but her father beat her to the door. She walked ever slowly grabbing the .44 magnum of the table as she did. When he opened the door he saw a lady and her child run past the door. When he looked outside he pulled himself back in right away and closed the door and locked it. "What is it father?" She asked him.
"I don't know..it is some kind of monster." He said. She pulled her head back and looked to the door. At first she thought he was just trying to scare her. Then she heard a pound at the door. It sounded like something strong and heavy hit the door. Just with the first hit she saw pieces of the door begin to splinter. Then it hit the door again and the door cracked in half. She raised the gun up and aimed at the door. Her father moved to the table and opened the next gift and handed it to her. "It's ammo for the gun. Take it... and escape through the laundry elevator..... your small enough to fit inside." He said pushing her towards it. "What about you father?.... aren't you coming?" She asked. Now she was scared. Then it came through the door... it was big. Much taller then any human. It was also ugly and pitch black. As if it was full of emptiness. As it moved to regain its footing her father began to push her ever more towards the laundry elevator. She reluctantly climbed inside it. "Keep the gun and locket safe.... don't worry. Daddy will always be with you." Then suddenly something tore right through him as if he was nothing. She can see the sharp point poking out almost hitting her on the other side. What she saw behind him was it. It began to pull him away ,but before he let go he pushed the button that started the elevator down. The last thing she saw was a number on the beasts forehead. The number Nine.....
-------------------------------------------------
Jin stood in line at a coffee shop and then suddenly a gun shot was heard. Him and several patrons of the shop looked outside. "That sounded military grade weapon fire.... what the hell." He said. He found himself moving to the door and trying to steal a look outside. What he saw was about ten soldiers down the street firing their weapons. Terrorists? He thought to himself. Then something leaped out at one of the soldiers tackling the soldier to the ground. The other soldiers gunned it down but not at the cost of the soldier beneath it as he screamed in agony and was suddenly silenced. What the flying fuck is going on here? There was more gun fire and then another soldier went down. He looked to the police hub across the street and saw officers exiting the building to see what was going on.
He suddenly saw one of those things dart from behind the alley next to it. He reached into his shirt and moved his hand up grabbing the hand grip of his chrome .45. He kicked open the door and took aim and fired. The bullet tore through its head. However, it just stood there and turned its head. Fuck... that did nothing but piss it off. Or did it? The officers turned and saw it pulling out their guns and opened fire. With a few rounds from his own gun they took it down. He lowered the gun and ran across the street over to it. Joined by a old police officer and another who looked like he just left the academy. "What the hell was that....."
"I don't know Charlie but it's giving the men in green over their a run for their money." The old man looked up at Jin as he answered him. He heard a screech and as he looked up he saw another one sitting on top of a car. The number ten etched into its forehead. He aimed his gun up at it. The other officers did the same. Then suddenly more of its friends showed up walking like they were human. Then they lowered their bodies tell they were on all fours. "Charlie.... run your ass back in that building... don't think. Just do...." He said. Him and the other officers nodded and began to unload their weapons in a barrage of gun fire at the monsters as they backed themselves up into the building and inside. They locked the doors and proceeded to the desk.
The woman from before had ducked behind it. "What the hell is going on Charlie?....." The old man had the look of terror. "I don't know Dianne..... but whatever they are. They aint from this world." He said.
"Aliens?...." She responded and the room went silent and looked at her.
"What?... I know I don't look it but I have always been a ufo nut." She said. Jin rolled his eyes and looked to her side arm. "Best be prepared to use that cause it ain't over...."
Suddenly he heard screams from down below. "They got inside?.... how in the hell." George looked down the hall the led down below.
"Sewer drains son... we have sewer drains in the showers." He said. Jin cursed and looked to the other officers. "Let's go up to the second floor and barricade ourselves inside. It's our best chance." He said. Him and the other officers proceeded up and then he heard a familiar scream. It was Danny's.... He stopped for only a second and then continued forward. "Damn it...."
------------------------------------------
Taki stood inside the tea shop. She shoes tapping on the floor as she watched a video provided by Mr. Cheng. It was that of Danny stealing a very expensive vase from the a shelf. He wasn't even trying to hide the fact he was stealing. He even looked at the camera. A hand went up to her face and she began to massage her forehead. "How much did that cost?..."
"Five hundred...." He answered. She then looked to her boys who stood there. "He's at the police station on Broadway and Lexington.... Yojiro was around there too. Still might be. Go find him and tell him Danny stole from old man Cheng." She said. The nodded and proceeded to exit. She looked to Cheng and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Next time,... just call me and let me know. Don't just tell us no... okay." She said rather smoothly. She liked the old man. He was kind of like a uncle to her. Which is the only reason she let it slide. Theft or not... you pay your protection. He was a special case though. The old man nodded. "This months payment is on us this time... don't worry we will get your vase back. IF not... well Danny can come in and help you around the store." She said. She looked to her boys who stood in front of the glass window. She rose a brow and noticed that people were running. What she saw next was military hummer drove up and parked itself. The gunner on top opened fire on something. The soldiers inside got out and started firing as well. Okay now her attention was fully on what was going on outside as she stepped up to the window and took a peak. Weird ugly creatures from a horror film were running up the street and getting gunned down and not just the street, but along the walls as well. One such Xenomorph stopped and looked at the gunner. She could swear she saw sacks on each side of its head begin to glow and then suddenly it ejected from its mouth a massive amount of acidic spit. Not only did it melt the gun and the plate behind it, but some of the spit hit the soldier on the other side and melted him too. She grimaced and began to back up. "Boys we are parked in back right?...." She then saw her motorcycle right beside the hummer and she cursed. She then took a deep breathe and stood up straight. "Hate to say this boys but our only escape is our vehicles up front.... lets get out there and fire off a few rounds at these things and then take off...." She said. They looked to her and then back outside grabbing out their guns. Mostly small guns, like one had a mac ten and another had a simple barreta. She pulled out her handgun from underneath her suit jacket. She sighed and looked to the people with her. I am not dressed for this kind of thing right now..... She took a deep breathe and together they rushed out. The took aim and began to fire at the monsters. They took down a few with concentrated fire power. The soldiers even took a hint of the strategy and did the same. Targeting the same targets and using less rounds too.
However they were not there to help the soldiers..... One of the Xenos came charging and leaped tackling her to the ground. It hissed and was about to finish her of when it got a whack to its face by a broom. It didn't hurt it,... it looked over seemingly irritated. It rose up and moved to deal with the old man. She took the moment and kicked at its feet tripping it up. She then moved quickly to her feet with a flip. As soon as she got to her feet she put several rounds into it. Her men did not fair too good though as they were getting taken down. She moved to her bike and looked to Cheng...."Hop on. I will get you out of here." She screamed. He stepped forward and then was tackled to the ground. She aimed her gun and was about to fire but stopped. Cheng had his hand up and aimed towards her. "You get out of here Taki.... save yourself!... Now!" She hesitated for a second looking at the monster. It's head turned to look at her and she saw the number 6 imprinted on it's head. She closed her eyes as a tear ran down her cheek and she put the pistol in its spot. "I'm sorry!..." She said and hit the gas peddle and drove off nearly dodging a pounce from a Xenomorph.
Cheng looked forward and smiled. "You may have killed me but she got away...." The Xenomorph looked at him and they stared at one another. It was as if it understood what he said. If six could speak or even smirk it would. Likely say something under the lines of...' You think that a victory?... we will kill her eventually.' It then put its hand over the mans mouth and moved his head to the side and then its second mouth shot forward and ended the mans life. He was too old to be a host anyways.
------------------------------------------
Ramiro was on the third floor of what would soon be a office building. When it got finished that is. He was in a kneeling position and driving nails into the wall with a nail gun. He was playing some classic spanish music from his radio as he went about his work. Occasionally reaching over to take a swig from a 44 ounce soda he got from circle k. It was filled with Yutani lemon soda. It was pretty good. The work was pretty easy then it was a couple weeks ago when he had to use a giant sledge hammer. He smirked and shrugged it off. He was whistling and humming to the music. Then suddenly he heard something. A loud screeching sound. Loud enough he could hear it over his own music. He spun around pressing stop on the radio. "What the hell was that?...." He said. Then he saw a fellow mexican coming around the corner. "Did you hear tha...." He was about to finish his sentance but noticed something wrong with Javier. "Javier?.. what happened to you man?" This guy was much thinner then he was. Still a tough hombre if you tried to fight with him, but he wasn't the same man he saw this morning. He had the look of fear and his jeans were wet. Not with piss but with blood. He traced the stain to a spot in the mans pants. Blood was squirting out. Ramiro reached down to try and stop it. He could feel the mans breathing. The only thing holding him was a fire axe. Then it came around the corner. Tall black ugly. Uglier then himself and that was saying something.
"What in the damn hell...." It stepped forward and he grabbed the fire axe from Javier placing him against a bar making sure he was steady. The thing came forward ever closer to him. "You stay back now,... whatever the fuck you is." It did not seem to be intimidated and with a flick of its tail the sharp spear head flew forward towards him. He was barely able to block it. IT hit him with a lot of power in the swing. He swung back his axe taking a good chunk off. He thought he had the edge but when he went to swing again he saw it look to the axe head. He narrowed his eyes and then glanced over and saw it smoking and melting from the blood. He dropped the axe quickly.. "What the fuck... acid for blood? Now that is some fucked up shit right there." He said. He then turned and looked to the nail gun. He ran for it and the Xenomorph came right after him. He dived for the floor just in time to see it fly over him and through the wall in front of him. It smashed through it like it was nothing. He picked up the nail gun and saw it getting back up. He pointed and fired. The nail gun nailing it causing it to scream. Oh he did not like that... it was as if his ears were bleeding. He fired again and again. Trying to find a weak point. He then took a aim at its head and began firing. It rushed at him as he did so slamming its head into Ramiro. This action forced the nails in its head to go deeper inside it killing it. It did however leave a few good sized bruise marks on Ramiro. Ramiro remembered the blood and crawled away as fast as he could. He walked over tossing the nail gun down and just stared at it.
The gun was out of nails anyways no more use for it. Ramiro was breathing heavily. That hit knocked the wind out of him. He gulped and then heard snapping and then it hit him. "Ah....shiiiiiittt!" He screamed as him and the Xeno fell through the floor. They fell through the second floor and hit the bottom floor pretty hard. Enough that the lights went out for Ramiro.
When he woke up it was to something shaking him. He looked up and saw a woman leaning over him. She was young and pretty too. "Good your alive...." She said. He rose up and looked around and sighed. "What?... you thought you died and gone to heaven?" She asked and he moved his hand up left and right.
"Kinda..." He said. She smirked and rose up and offered her hand. "I saw you fall. Impressive that you took one on your own." She said. "Names Taki...." She said. Ramiro accepted the hand and with her help lifted himself off the ground. "Ramiro.... you can tell the foreman I quit." He said. He heard a giggle coming from her.
"Your funny for a old guy." She said.
"Hey I am old, but not that old...." He retorted. She nodded and pushed something up against him. When he looked down he saw a gun.
"Take it... I am going to need your help in this. It's owner doesn't need it anymore."
"Forty hours ago a attack occurred on the Wayland Yutani building in central Manhattan. We don't know if it was terrorists or what, but the damage has been done. A few secrets we held within the labs below escaped. Xenomorph Class.... you've read reports about them before and know what to expect. We got a infestation on our hands. You will all be put to the task of cleaning it up. We have gotten reports from civilians of them being spotted all over the place already. Nothing to special just single glances of solitary specimens. They are probably not at full strength yet using the sewers to get around. Problem is it wont take long before they are. You people are to evacuate as many as you can and kill as many of them as you can if you run into them. Your orders are to shoot them on site. That is all dismissed." After that came static. Miles looked up at all the men and women that shared the room. A lot of them did not know what to do. They trained all their lives for this moment and now the day had come to put that training to the test would they be able to overcome this obstacle? Will they survive? or are they all fucked.
Erika looked up at Miles. "Well sir.... what are your orders." She asked. Miles looked right to her and smiled.
"Your orders are simple.... evacuate the city. We have enough soldiers here at the base to do it. My division will start in Manhattan. The rest of you will do the rest of the city. If you have contact with the Xenos you shoot them on sight." He said. He looked to the other men and women and they all returned nods. With that they exited the room and proceeded out side. Erika and Miles where alone for about a second or too. "Well lets go.... nothing more to do or say but our jobs." She said. Miles stood up straight and hoisted up his rifle. "Well lets hope it ends as beautifully as the General said it..."
--------------------
"From what I heard,... she lost a brother in the east. Do to one of them uprisings. Her father put her here to keep her from getting killed.. Funny thing is her job is a lot tougher then her brothers was." Jarvis said. He then looked to Blitz. "She is also are superior officer so giving her a bit of respect is expected. She ain't nothing she special. If she was truly given special treatment,.... she would be a much higher rank then what it is." He said. He then shrugged and went back to his work. "She also saved David's life once... nearly at the cost of her own from what I heard." He looked to the other man. "Right?" He asked. David simply nodded.
"Yeah l don't really want to talk about it.... lets just enjoy the day." David added. He leaned back and laid in the Jeep. Jarvis crouched down and as he did so he saw a few squads mobilizing. He stared in their direction as he continued to wash the jeep. "Is there some practice run that I wasn't told about?....." He said. Then suddenly came running towards them was Erika and Miles.
"Get your shit together guys,... we are finally mobilizing." Erika said. Jarvis looked to her and smiled. "Cool what planet we going to?... Mars?.....Saturn?" He asked. Miles put a hand on his shoulder.
"Manhattan,... turns out Xenomorph class species escaped from the labs. They have already been spotted in several places across the city. We are to evacuate the island and kill as many of those things we see." He said. Jarvis went white in the face at the answer. He always pictured to fight them on some distant planet ,but not on their home turf. What did Wayland do? He sighed and climbed into the jeep and positioned himself on the big gun on top. Miles took to the driver seat while Erika took to the passenger side. Miles was nervous and so was Erika. She knew she had a bad feeling something was going to happen, and it was a bad feeling. She sighed and looked to David and then Blitz. Once she felt everyone was secure Miles floored it. They joined what would seem like one big mobilization of vehicles. Mostly trucks, armored transports, and jeeps just like theirs.
-------------------------------------
Hotaru was located in her apartment, not too far away from Kiley's and Elyana's. A lot more fancier and more prettier of course. Hotaru sat there at the table eating some of her birthday cake with her father. Then he pushed a present towards her. "Go on open it..." He said. She looked to him and then the present and pulled the string and began to unwrap it. What she saw was a small case. The outside was leather with a steel trim. She pressed down on the cache and opened the box. What she saw was a .44 magnum. She looked right up at her father with a curious look. It looked a lot more shiny and it had even a few customization's. Such as a laser sight and a heavy looking frame. It sure was heavy and when she picked it up she could feel it. She then looked to her father. "A gun?"
"New York is a dangerous place,... you might need it." He said in response. She sighed and would have refused it ,but.... he was right. It was a dangerous city with all kinds of bad people in it. She looked over at the others and they were small gifts as well. When she pulled one in and opened it. What she discovered was a locket. When she opened it she saw a picture. On one side was her and her father. On the other was her Mother with her father. "I know you miss your mother despite her leaving us...so I put that picture in there." He said. She smiled and nodded. She quickly put it on and before she could grab another present she heard screaming. When she looked to the door she could swear they came from outside. She got up and was going to move towards it but her father beat her to the door. She walked ever slowly grabbing the .44 magnum of the table as she did. When he opened the door he saw a lady and her child run past the door. When he looked outside he pulled himself back in right away and closed the door and locked it. "What is it father?" She asked him.
"I don't know..it is some kind of monster." He said. She pulled her head back and looked to the door. At first she thought he was just trying to scare her. Then she heard a pound at the door. It sounded like something strong and heavy hit the door. Just with the first hit she saw pieces of the door begin to splinter. Then it hit the door again and the door cracked in half. She raised the gun up and aimed at the door. Her father moved to the table and opened the next gift and handed it to her. "It's ammo for the gun. Take it... and escape through the laundry elevator..... your small enough to fit inside." He said pushing her towards it. "What about you father?.... aren't you coming?" She asked. Now she was scared. Then it came through the door... it was big. Much taller then any human. It was also ugly and pitch black. As if it was full of emptiness. As it moved to regain its footing her father began to push her ever more towards the laundry elevator. She reluctantly climbed inside it. "Keep the gun and locket safe.... don't worry. Daddy will always be with you." Then suddenly something tore right through him as if he was nothing. She can see the sharp point poking out almost hitting her on the other side. What she saw behind him was it. It began to pull him away ,but before he let go he pushed the button that started the elevator down. The last thing she saw was a number on the beasts forehead. The number Nine.....
-------------------------------------------------
Jin stood in line at a coffee shop and then suddenly a gun shot was heard. Him and several patrons of the shop looked outside. "That sounded military grade weapon fire.... what the hell." He said. He found himself moving to the door and trying to steal a look outside. What he saw was about ten soldiers down the street firing their weapons. Terrorists? He thought to himself. Then something leaped out at one of the soldiers tackling the soldier to the ground. The other soldiers gunned it down but not at the cost of the soldier beneath it as he screamed in agony and was suddenly silenced. What the flying fuck is going on here? There was more gun fire and then another soldier went down. He looked to the police hub across the street and saw officers exiting the building to see what was going on.
He suddenly saw one of those things dart from behind the alley next to it. He reached into his shirt and moved his hand up grabbing the hand grip of his chrome .45. He kicked open the door and took aim and fired. The bullet tore through its head. However, it just stood there and turned its head. Fuck... that did nothing but piss it off. Or did it? The officers turned and saw it pulling out their guns and opened fire. With a few rounds from his own gun they took it down. He lowered the gun and ran across the street over to it. Joined by a old police officer and another who looked like he just left the academy. "What the hell was that....."
"I don't know Charlie but it's giving the men in green over their a run for their money." The old man looked up at Jin as he answered him. He heard a screech and as he looked up he saw another one sitting on top of a car. The number ten etched into its forehead. He aimed his gun up at it. The other officers did the same. Then suddenly more of its friends showed up walking like they were human. Then they lowered their bodies tell they were on all fours. "Charlie.... run your ass back in that building... don't think. Just do...." He said. Him and the other officers nodded and began to unload their weapons in a barrage of gun fire at the monsters as they backed themselves up into the building and inside. They locked the doors and proceeded to the desk.
The woman from before had ducked behind it. "What the hell is going on Charlie?....." The old man had the look of terror. "I don't know Dianne..... but whatever they are. They aint from this world." He said.
"Aliens?...." She responded and the room went silent and looked at her.
"What?... I know I don't look it but I have always been a ufo nut." She said. Jin rolled his eyes and looked to her side arm. "Best be prepared to use that cause it ain't over...."
Suddenly he heard screams from down below. "They got inside?.... how in the hell." George looked down the hall the led down below.
"Sewer drains son... we have sewer drains in the showers." He said. Jin cursed and looked to the other officers. "Let's go up to the second floor and barricade ourselves inside. It's our best chance." He said. Him and the other officers proceeded up and then he heard a familiar scream. It was Danny's.... He stopped for only a second and then continued forward. "Damn it...."
------------------------------------------
Taki stood inside the tea shop. She shoes tapping on the floor as she watched a video provided by Mr. Cheng. It was that of Danny stealing a very expensive vase from the a shelf. He wasn't even trying to hide the fact he was stealing. He even looked at the camera. A hand went up to her face and she began to massage her forehead. "How much did that cost?..."
"Five hundred...." He answered. She then looked to her boys who stood there. "He's at the police station on Broadway and Lexington.... Yojiro was around there too. Still might be. Go find him and tell him Danny stole from old man Cheng." She said. The nodded and proceeded to exit. She looked to Cheng and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Next time,... just call me and let me know. Don't just tell us no... okay." She said rather smoothly. She liked the old man. He was kind of like a uncle to her. Which is the only reason she let it slide. Theft or not... you pay your protection. He was a special case though. The old man nodded. "This months payment is on us this time... don't worry we will get your vase back. IF not... well Danny can come in and help you around the store." She said. She looked to her boys who stood in front of the glass window. She rose a brow and noticed that people were running. What she saw next was military hummer drove up and parked itself. The gunner on top opened fire on something. The soldiers inside got out and started firing as well. Okay now her attention was fully on what was going on outside as she stepped up to the window and took a peak. Weird ugly creatures from a horror film were running up the street and getting gunned down and not just the street, but along the walls as well. One such Xenomorph stopped and looked at the gunner. She could swear she saw sacks on each side of its head begin to glow and then suddenly it ejected from its mouth a massive amount of acidic spit. Not only did it melt the gun and the plate behind it, but some of the spit hit the soldier on the other side and melted him too. She grimaced and began to back up. "Boys we are parked in back right?...." She then saw her motorcycle right beside the hummer and she cursed. She then took a deep breathe and stood up straight. "Hate to say this boys but our only escape is our vehicles up front.... lets get out there and fire off a few rounds at these things and then take off...." She said. They looked to her and then back outside grabbing out their guns. Mostly small guns, like one had a mac ten and another had a simple barreta. She pulled out her handgun from underneath her suit jacket. She sighed and looked to the people with her. I am not dressed for this kind of thing right now..... She took a deep breathe and together they rushed out. The took aim and began to fire at the monsters. They took down a few with concentrated fire power. The soldiers even took a hint of the strategy and did the same. Targeting the same targets and using less rounds too.
However they were not there to help the soldiers..... One of the Xenos came charging and leaped tackling her to the ground. It hissed and was about to finish her of when it got a whack to its face by a broom. It didn't hurt it,... it looked over seemingly irritated. It rose up and moved to deal with the old man. She took the moment and kicked at its feet tripping it up. She then moved quickly to her feet with a flip. As soon as she got to her feet she put several rounds into it. Her men did not fair too good though as they were getting taken down. She moved to her bike and looked to Cheng...."Hop on. I will get you out of here." She screamed. He stepped forward and then was tackled to the ground. She aimed her gun and was about to fire but stopped. Cheng had his hand up and aimed towards her. "You get out of here Taki.... save yourself!... Now!" She hesitated for a second looking at the monster. It's head turned to look at her and she saw the number 6 imprinted on it's head. She closed her eyes as a tear ran down her cheek and she put the pistol in its spot. "I'm sorry!..." She said and hit the gas peddle and drove off nearly dodging a pounce from a Xenomorph.
Cheng looked forward and smiled. "You may have killed me but she got away...." The Xenomorph looked at him and they stared at one another. It was as if it understood what he said. If six could speak or even smirk it would. Likely say something under the lines of...' You think that a victory?... we will kill her eventually.' It then put its hand over the mans mouth and moved his head to the side and then its second mouth shot forward and ended the mans life. He was too old to be a host anyways.
------------------------------------------
Ramiro was on the third floor of what would soon be a office building. When it got finished that is. He was in a kneeling position and driving nails into the wall with a nail gun. He was playing some classic spanish music from his radio as he went about his work. Occasionally reaching over to take a swig from a 44 ounce soda he got from circle k. It was filled with Yutani lemon soda. It was pretty good. The work was pretty easy then it was a couple weeks ago when he had to use a giant sledge hammer. He smirked and shrugged it off. He was whistling and humming to the music. Then suddenly he heard something. A loud screeching sound. Loud enough he could hear it over his own music. He spun around pressing stop on the radio. "What the hell was that?...." He said. Then he saw a fellow mexican coming around the corner. "Did you hear tha...." He was about to finish his sentance but noticed something wrong with Javier. "Javier?.. what happened to you man?" This guy was much thinner then he was. Still a tough hombre if you tried to fight with him, but he wasn't the same man he saw this morning. He had the look of fear and his jeans were wet. Not with piss but with blood. He traced the stain to a spot in the mans pants. Blood was squirting out. Ramiro reached down to try and stop it. He could feel the mans breathing. The only thing holding him was a fire axe. Then it came around the corner. Tall black ugly. Uglier then himself and that was saying something.
"What in the damn hell...." It stepped forward and he grabbed the fire axe from Javier placing him against a bar making sure he was steady. The thing came forward ever closer to him. "You stay back now,... whatever the fuck you is." It did not seem to be intimidated and with a flick of its tail the sharp spear head flew forward towards him. He was barely able to block it. IT hit him with a lot of power in the swing. He swung back his axe taking a good chunk off. He thought he had the edge but when he went to swing again he saw it look to the axe head. He narrowed his eyes and then glanced over and saw it smoking and melting from the blood. He dropped the axe quickly.. "What the fuck... acid for blood? Now that is some fucked up shit right there." He said. He then turned and looked to the nail gun. He ran for it and the Xenomorph came right after him. He dived for the floor just in time to see it fly over him and through the wall in front of him. It smashed through it like it was nothing. He picked up the nail gun and saw it getting back up. He pointed and fired. The nail gun nailing it causing it to scream. Oh he did not like that... it was as if his ears were bleeding. He fired again and again. Trying to find a weak point. He then took a aim at its head and began firing. It rushed at him as he did so slamming its head into Ramiro. This action forced the nails in its head to go deeper inside it killing it. It did however leave a few good sized bruise marks on Ramiro. Ramiro remembered the blood and crawled away as fast as he could. He walked over tossing the nail gun down and just stared at it.
The gun was out of nails anyways no more use for it. Ramiro was breathing heavily. That hit knocked the wind out of him. He gulped and then heard snapping and then it hit him. "Ah....shiiiiiittt!" He screamed as him and the Xeno fell through the floor. They fell through the second floor and hit the bottom floor pretty hard. Enough that the lights went out for Ramiro.
When he woke up it was to something shaking him. He looked up and saw a woman leaning over him. She was young and pretty too. "Good your alive...." She said. He rose up and looked around and sighed. "What?... you thought you died and gone to heaven?" She asked and he moved his hand up left and right.
"Kinda..." He said. She smirked and rose up and offered her hand. "I saw you fall. Impressive that you took one on your own." She said. "Names Taki...." She said. Ramiro accepted the hand and with her help lifted himself off the ground. "Ramiro.... you can tell the foreman I quit." He said. He heard a giggle coming from her.
"Your funny for a old guy." She said.
"Hey I am old, but not that old...." He retorted. She nodded and pushed something up against him. When he looked down he saw a gun.
"Take it... I am going to need your help in this. It's owner doesn't need it anymore."
@Aintitfun1997 I edited the post some.. nothing to worry about but you can give it a re read.... only Hotaru's part and Ramiro got a edit.
Planning on Nine being a constant pain in the groups backside.....
@Aintitfun1997@Alex T Crossman Well there's my post in for resetting the world. New York City is the starting point as usual.
-Day 1, August 15th 2090, -
".... Dear Rothius M. Brawn,
Father, I know it's been a long time sense I last sent you a email, I apologize for it. Especially sense it's because of you I have two new arms. It took awhile getting used to them ,but the augmentations are just fine. I even tested them in the field a couple of times and they are deadly accurate. Enough about that though, how are you? I know you and mother have not talked much sense I left for the marines. I am doing fine as usual. Life on the base in New York is going great. I have a feeling you had something to do with it. Even though it has been peaceful and all for awhile sense the last terrorist attack, but I got this odd feeling that something big is about to happen. You know, the type of feeling. I had it once before remember when our dog died. Well this is the same ,but I don't fear something like a attack from the rebels in the east but more so from the home front. I don't know what it is, but Miles just tells me to ignore it and enjoy what time I got left. I told you about Miles right? The Major in charge of my division? Well we are pretty close. I think I told you that too. Perhaps you can visit some time when your not so busy and we can all go out to eat some where. Just you, me, and Miles, for your sake I wont invite mom. Ever sense the debate you two had about what I should become you two never got along. I am still your baby girl though. Anyhow don't be a stranger, come by once in awhile or reply to these emails I keep sending you........"
It was another beautiful day in paradise, also known as the big apple. For some it was escape from their old lives across the ocean or from home back west. It was always so inviting but if you did not have what it takes to live in it you ended up in the bad parts of town for better or worse. However, it was the type of city that if you could make it, you could make it anywhere. Life was good for most people, some struggled and some did not. The ones who struggled you often found on the news, mostly because they decided to take a swan dive off one of the high sky scrappers on manhattan. There were all kind of people living in the city too, Italians, Russians, Japanese, Cubans, Mexicans and all kinds of different races. Some were forced to come here and some did so willingly. Either way they were here and the city did not look like it does now. It was a thing of the future, from light rails that could take you from one spot of the city to the other safely and quickly. Neon lights seemed to decorate the road ways from shops and stores of all shapes and sizes. It was something to behold of course. Almost like a Neon Tokyo, but it was New York.
Somewhere in New York at a army base close to the river, a alarm went off. Not some mobilization alarm or disaster alarm. A alarm coming from a clock on a night stand in someones private chambers. Erika's eyes opened slowly as she stared up at the ceiling for awhile before her hand reached out and slapped the button to turn it off. "Another day in paradise." She said. She rose up and checked the computer on her desk. Its monitor still on giving the room its only source of light. She could see that her email had no response. She sighed and blew a bit of hot air up her face causing her bangs to rise for a second. She wondered why her father would not respond to her at all. Is he that busy or is he just ignoring her responses? Is he that angry with her about deciding to become a marine instead of a doctor like him? She got up and reached a hand behind her to pull up her underwear and moved to the closet. She opened it and saw her uniform. It was not like your standard united states marine uniform. It was slightly different. Because we were in the time of age where corporations were able to build their own armies, hers was different. Wayland Yutani had indoctrinated itself into the American military though so she was still a soldier for the states, however she still belonged to Wayland Yutani corporation. She looked to the shoulder of her jacket and it had the Typical insignia of a large W and a Y in behind it. Under neath it it said "Wayland Yutani Corporation, Building better safer worlds for everyone. " She snorted and shrugged at the same time. That was right her father's company was in charge of building pretty much machines that could terraform worlds and make them live able. Mars and the Moon were the front runners of that project. After their success the company moved onto bigger projects. However, to say that was the only thing they did would be stupid and ignorant. With such duties they needed other assets to help out with the projects. They needed their own forces and soldiers in case shit hit the fan on some derelict planet and they needed to send out a task force to clean it up. Therefore they had military contracts and weapons divisions. Of course every corporation needs money so they branched out into other industries. Cosmetics, prosthetics, clothing, and yes even food. Now unlike most businesses that made food and sucked at it, her fathers was actually pretty successful at it. The cola tasted awesome and so did some of the snack foods they put out. They even had water that they claimed was from one of the moons of Saturn. She did not really think it was but who really gives a fuck. It is water, that is all you need to know. It did taste good though... even more so then the Fiji water.
After she put her jacket over her tank top and grabbed her pants she walked over to her bed and sat down. Here she slowly put it on fitting one leg in and then the other. Then came a fresh pair of socks and then her shoes. She then moved over to a weapons cabinet and looked to the datapad located on the right door. She pressed a button and a key bad slowly pushed out underneath it. "Please enter your four digit pin" came up one the screen. She quickly did so, these things were so sensitive and annoying that if you didn't do it fast enough it would telll you to do it again or that it did not get the code. Fail too many times and it locks up and then you have to call maintenance. Once she hit enter another device opened. It was a eye scanner and she sighed and lowered her face towards it and held her eye open with her fingers. The red laser shot out and scanned for only a second, causing moisture to gather and drop down her cheek. "Welcome, Miss Erika. I hope you have a beautiful day." The artificial intelligence said. She smiled and gave it a thumbs up. "I'll try...." She said as she reached up and pulled open the cabinet. She removed from it her vest that went over her jacket. It held two side arms and two slots on each side that held in them to magazines. These were strictly for the .45 autos. Next came the next piece of her equipment. It was the belt which held four slots for 5.56mm cartridges. Those were for the M41A pulse rifle which hung from its place on the far wall of the cabinet. These things were something alright. Much better then anything the army has. These things were a whole lot of kick assery, side from its regular arsenal it also had a 20mm grenade launcher as well. That alone made the marines of Wayland Yutani pretty formidable.
She took her rifle hooked up its sling and then swung it over her shoulder. She took from a shelf a few 20mm grenades and placed them in slots on her belt as well as a few stims. Stims were good for killing pain and stopped most wounds from bleeding. She then took a few regular frag grenades and then stepped back and closed the cabinet while she placed them in their spots on her belt. Once she was ready she moved over to a mini fridge and bent down and opened it. She grabbed from it a ice cold Wayland Cola. She was addicted to the things. After Wayland bought out Coke Cola and Pepsi they put out all kinds of drinks. That were even more amazing then what the companies had before. She did not know what else her father did but she sure did like the soda they developed. She twisted the cap off and put the top to her lips and took a long gulp from the soda. She drained it down to half way before lowering it. She then turned around and headed for the door and opened it. She was greeted by the sunny sky and green grass of the military base. Her place was kinda like a shack... a really expensive nice shack. Which was kinda funny in her mind. It had air conditioning, its own shower and toilet. Everything a girl needs... well the mini fridge wasn't there when she got it. That was her own little gift to herself. Beat making trips to the damn store or mess hall every day. She looked around and found soldiers doing their morning exercises and smiled tilting her head down and giving a slight wave in charge of the morning drills. He saw her gesture and nodded. She slowly began to head towards the recreation hall to check out on her men specifically, then she began to hear a noise.... a loud annoying beeping noise. When she looked down she saw that it was her arm. Her new augmented arms. She was basically half android.... well her arms were machine, mostly. Well up to her shoulder were all gears and machinery. A gift from her father so to speak. She raised it up and pressed it with a free index finger. "This is Erika how can I help you?" She said.
"You need to work on your introduction lady..... your supposed to say. 'This is Lieutenant Erika Brawns how can I help you?" Came back a voice. She snorted and chuckled a bit. "So court martial me then,... anyhow what did you want Miles?... oh I am sorry Major Miles." She said correcting herself. She heard a sigh. "You know if you keep sounding too formal with me people will suspect we have a thing." Came back the same voice.
"Hun,.... they already know. I mean we haven't been exactly covert about it. Now what is it?" She asked.
"Good point,... anyhow I need to see you in my office. I have all the other Lieutenants with me right now. It's urgent and you need to be here......"
----------------------------------------------------
Forty hours before...........
"How are the specimens?...." A lady in a large lab coat spoke. She stared through the glass. On the other side was a Xenomorph. Specifically labeled underneath the class was the number Nine. On it's forehead was also imprinted and cut into it the same number. That was her name Nine. Nine had been taken away from a clutch of eggs on a derelict planet. The egg she was in had been frozen and brought back to earth. It took nearly a hundred years for it to get here but it got here. When it did they thawed it out and then with a little help from the local poor population. She was born. A Xenomorph warrior,.... this warrior seemed far superior then the others they had made. Well that's what Lucy believed anyways. "She is perfectly healthy Doctor. Odd enough she has been rather calm and cooperative today." He said as he tapped the glass. Despite the irritating noise it caused Nine did not look over at him. Her gaze was placed solely on Lucy. She found it a bit disturbing at that. "Strange.... she is never calm... nor cooperative. I don't know how many times we had to gas her." Then suddenly the lights flickered. Lucy looked up at the lights and when they went back to normal she looked to her assistant. "Go see what that was...." She said. The man nodded and headed for a intercom.
"Hello Command,... this is Doctor Thomas A. Broch. What was with the flicker a little while ago?" He asked. There was a pause,..... a very odd pause that had never happened before. He was about to press the button again when a response finally occured.
"Do not worry about it,... we are handling the situation now.......... Sir what ever you do, do not shoot that....." gun shots could be heard. It sounded like it came from some automatic machine gun. Afterwards came a long static noise. What came after him and Lucy did not expect. The whole building shook violently and then the lights went off. The doctor had clung to the wall trying to keep his balance as much as he could. Emergency power had turned on and the lights went back on and when he looked around he saw Lucy staring wide in the eyes through the glass. "What is it Lucy?" He asked. He looked to her hand as it raised and pointed. "She is gone......" Was all she had said. The doctors face became that of panic as he rushed over and saw that the restraints had been destroyed and there was a large hole in the ceiling.
"What the...... we got to retrieve her before she....." In his panic he did something stupid. He moved over and opened the door and went inside the room. He moved to stand right below the hole and looked up. He looked back to Lucy. "She's not......." He said but then his eyes went wide once more. Right behind Lucy he saw a large pitch black object drop. It then rose up and stood right behind Lucy. "Lucy... she is right behind you, whatever you do don't...."
Before he could finish his sentence he saw blood splatter about the glass window as a hole was punched through her head. Nine grabbed her body by the shoulder and shoved her away. Nine then pressed a button and then the doors closed Thomas inside. Nine let out a hiss. It's tail shattering the pad so he couldn't get out. What she did next was its own desire of revenge. His eyes went to Nine's hand as it moved towards a very familiar button." Nine,... don't do it. I was always nice to you Nine. Remember that.... it was Lucy who was mean to you. She deserved what you did but I was nice to you remember?" He tried to plea. The hand continued to move towards the button. Nine staring directly at him and then with a quick motion of its hand it pressed the button and instantly the vents shot out the very same painful gas that was used to put her out. None lethal to her kind but... for a human. It was highly toxic. All Nine listened to for the next ten seconds was his screaming until finally there was quiet. Nine hissed and looked about the hall way. She noticed a lot of her kin were out of their restraints just like her. What she did next was one by one release all ten of her kin. Once they were all out they escaped back into the vents and headed for their queen......
Five hours later Nine had reached the Queen's chambers with little time to spare she began to punch tiny holes in the Queens wrists where she was bound. Not enough to hurt her but enough to cause her blood to come out and spill onto the metallic restraints that quickly began to melt. Once the restraints were weak enough. The Queen broke free from them and with her kin she pushed through the door. What she saw was a man. The man was bald and he had some weird nazi tattoos on his forehead. "Them bastards thought they could just abuse alien life forms down here without consequence I will show them." He then made a gesture. " I made a large as hole in the side by the power generators. Should give you a escape route into the sewers...." He said, explaining. I suppose he thought the Xenomorph Queen would thank him... or spare him for his act of justice for her kin. However,.... She had no remorse for a creature that would betray it's own kind. She swung with her large sized hands so fast and so quick he couldn't react fast enough. His eyes went wide and traced down to his gut. He then saw blood began to leak out. "But..... I rescued you......." His top half then separated from his lower half and the lights were forever turned off for him. The Queen took his directions and proceeded the way he said to go. It did not take long before her and her kin escaped into the sewer system underneath manhattan.......

.........The Now.
Jin Yujiro was located on the other side of the island in the suburb of Broadway and Lexington. He was there at a police hub standing at a counter. "Look,... I am just here to collect one of my men. He said he had been arrested by one of your men and I came to post bail." He said his finger pressing up against the desk. He was not too happy either. "Look I am not happy he is here either....." He said and the lady rolled her eyes and then looked at him.
"Fine,.... but he is still being processed. Once he is done you can pay for him. Until then...." She said gesturing to a seat. "Please wait and let me do my job." She said. He moved into a standing straight position as his eyes blinked. Did she just sass him?.... He sighed and accepted what he heard and just went over and sat down. Damn pig.... can't they just learn to leave us alone. He heard the bell ring and looked to the door to see a very familiar woman walk in. One she did not quite feel like seeing right now. Well not that she was bad or anything it was just.... he wasn't in a good mood and right now she looked like she was in a good one. He did not want to ruin it for her. She looked over and saw him despite his attempt to hide his face.
"What Yojiro? not happy to see me?" She asked as she walked over. He could hear her high heels hitting the floor with each step she made. He then felt a rush of air as she sat down. He looked over and saw her face and for some reason he felt calm again. "You know Taki,... you have a way of calming a man when you look at them." He said. She smirked and sat back.
"Really? I was always told I scared men....." She said. It was his turn to smile as he sat up.
"Well they don't know you like I do apparently. What you doing here?" He asked.
"Oh I heard you were in the neighborhood and I decided to come over and have a chat.... why you here?...... Little Danny in trouble again?" She asked.
"Yup.... jay walking.....I swear its the little things he does that bother me." He said. She rolled her eyes and leaned in. "You know I could straighten him up for you?" She offered. He laughed it off and then looked to the lady at the desk. He then rose up and walked over. "Second thought... let him sit for awhile. He could use the time. Maybe he will learn to keep out of your hair hmm?" He said.
The female officer looked over and raised a brow. "Wow,... finally learned huh? That's the only way the boy is going to learn you know? You keep bailing him out and he will just do the same shit over again.... whose your friend? Your girlfriend?" She asked. He looked over Taki and he smirked. "Girlfriend?.... nah. She acts more like a older sister then she does any actual friend."
"Hey I heard that Jin Yojiro....." Taki snapped back.
"Uh-oh... she used your full name." The officer said. Jin looked over at her.
"Don't encourage her?" He shot back. The officer held up her hands in surrender and he had to chuckle. He then proceeded towards the entrance. He moved his hands to his pockets pulling back the white buttoned up shirt he had on revealing the toned tattooed abbs underneath. As well as the scar that was placed there. "Come on Taki... lets go." He said before exiting. As he did so he thought he saw a black object dart past across the street in one of the drains that the water on the street would escape to. He narrowed his eyes and wondered what it was. Too big to be a human....
.................. He suddenly felt a tug and he looked over to see Taki. "What is it? You look like you saw a ghost or something?" She asked. Jin shrugged it off and the question. "I don't know... you have lunch yet?" He asked.
"lunch? I didn't get to eat breakfast........" She said. She liked it when he offered to take her out some where. This was her chance to try and win him over again. She was always trying to get him and she would not pass up another chance. However, her phone rang and she sighed. "Oh come on.... just at the perfect moment too." She said as she reached into the pocket of her leather black skirt. She then removed from it a cell phone. A rather expensive looking phone too. She pressed on the screen to answer it. "What?" She said. The voice of irritated clearly present. She the hissed and blew air up at her bangs. "Fine I will be there......" She said and hung up. She looked to Jin. "Sorry maybe next time... old man Cheng ain't paying his protection money again." She said. Jin looked around at the cops and then back at her. "You know you just said that in front of a police depo right?"
She rolled her eyes. "So... its not like I am going to kill him or anything. It's probably not him though... he usually pays but now. Second time in the row. There must be something wrong and I plan to find out what." She said. She walked up to the street towards a black motorcycle. It was a kawasaki. She swung her leg over and then looked over at Jin. She lifted up her black helmet. "I will win you over Jin Yojiro.... don't think you got away from me." She said. He smiled and made a gesture.
"Your welcome to try Taki....." He replied and off she went. He sighed once more and looked around. Now what..... was all he had on his mind.
------------------------------------------
Hotaru sat at home. It wasn't a school day so today she was here. It was her eighteenth birthday. She was officially a young woman now. Well Japanese standards she was of age four years ago. Thank god she lived in america as a foreign exchange student. She still recieved cat calls though from horny men. Both American and Oriental decent though. She sighed. I suppose men are the same everywhere. She looked at the clock and was trying to decide if she was going to go out or not. The local book store was open now and she would like to look for a new book to read. She however, was just not feeling it right now. Then something happened. She heard the sound of her being buzzed at the door. She rose a brow and rose up. She walked over and stepped over towards it and pressed the button. "Who is it?"
"It's me Hotaru... its your dad." Came a familiar voice and her eyes light up and she went for the door and opened it. What she saw was her old man standing there with a cake and a few balloons. "What are you doing here?.... did you come all the way from Japan just for my birthday?" She asked.
He simply just lifted up his arms that held the cake and a few presents. She smiled and moved out of the way and gestured for him to enter. "Thank you,... I really appreciate it." She said as she took from him the cake and a few presents. She then helped him to the kitchen and placed the cake down and next to it the gifts.
"Do you have a boyfriend yet?" He asked and she turned red.
"No father I do not.... I am just not into the guys here." She said. He nodded accepting the answer.
"Your hunting for one like those people in those books aren't you?" He asked. She sighed and nodded. "It wouldn't hurt to look father....." She replied and he nodded once more.
She then moved to sit down at the table and she smiled at her father. Now she was glad she hadn't gone to the book store today. This was all she wanted for today. Just some time with her father. She then looked around the room and rose up. "You hungry father? You must have had one hell of a plane ride." She said. He looked up and tried to wave her off.
"I ate some on the plane." Was his excuse. She just shook her head.
"Father you know full well that that stuff doesn't count as food. I got enough don't worry" She said as she walked over to the fridge and opened it. To his surprise he saw a lot of stuff that you would see in the old country back home. "I could never get used to the food here,... I mean I like fast food but sometimes I miss your home cooked meals. Luckily there is a place called china town. They have all kinds of things you find back home in Japan. Even some of the sodas.... you know the kind that have the marble inside them." She said. He smiled at his daughter. She then began to pull out some food that she knew he would love. Including some squid... She put them on the counter as well as a few carrots and seaweed. Next came some already cooked rice. Once she had everything she needed she put her hands together and started to try and think of what she should make.
----------------------------------------------------
On the military base a rather large man was polishing a jeep. The man had a bald head and a rather large beard. It was surprising that his higher ups didn't make him shave. Luckily he was not in some ordinary outfit. He was with Erika and her group. He was just making sure the mud was all washed off seeing as it was refusing to rain. His hand then wondered off to a basket and grabbed a good sized piece of jerky and brought it to his mouth and tossed it in and chewed. Today was another non eventful day for him. He suddenly looked to his left and saw Erika walking up to the main building where Miles office was. He was going to wave but she was in her own little world it would seem. "Lucky bastard.... having such a fine little flower like that." He said mostly to himself. However, he remembered he was in the presence of one of his men. Before he could say anything his voice sounded off.
"Flower?.... well I guess you can say that. But you know what they say about Roses?" He said. In unison him and Jarvis said the answer. "Every Rose has its thorns.... "
"Yeah I know. She aint that bad though. You make her sound like a bitch from hell" Jarvis said. The guy shrugged. Jarvis just shook his head at the man.
------------------------------------------------------
........ At a construction site. Ramiro Alvarez returned to work after a lunch break. "Welcome back Ramiro... you have a good vacation?" The foreman said. Ramiro stopped and sneered at the man. "I was only gone for thirty minutes man.... lay off. Don't make me call the union rep. again." He threatened and the foreman glared at him. The foreman then headed back to his office and kicked a bucket.... a bucket full of dry cement. He hollered in pain which caused Ramiro to laugh. "Dumbass.... looks like one of your great employees forgot to use the cement to fill in the hole... again." He fired at him. He then moved towards his work space. It wasnt far... just a elevator ride up to the third floor. Nothing to difficult. As long as the damn boss got off his ass. I swear that man has it in for him for some reason.....
....As he moved to the Elevator he had this strange feeling he was being watched. Not by the foreman or any of the other workers. By something else. He turned around and looked all over the place in attempt to try and spot it. What he saw though was a figure. It was quite a distance away in a gutter. A black figure staring right at him. It was too far for him to really figure it out. Then he blinked and it was gone. He suddenly had a shiver down his spine and made his way towards the elevator. What the hell was that? He thought to himself.
".... Dear Rothius M. Brawn,
Father, I know it's been a long time sense I last sent you a email, I apologize for it. Especially sense it's because of you I have two new arms. It took awhile getting used to them ,but the augmentations are just fine. I even tested them in the field a couple of times and they are deadly accurate. Enough about that though, how are you? I know you and mother have not talked much sense I left for the marines. I am doing fine as usual. Life on the base in New York is going great. I have a feeling you had something to do with it. Even though it has been peaceful and all for awhile sense the last terrorist attack, but I got this odd feeling that something big is about to happen. You know, the type of feeling. I had it once before remember when our dog died. Well this is the same ,but I don't fear something like a attack from the rebels in the east but more so from the home front. I don't know what it is, but Miles just tells me to ignore it and enjoy what time I got left. I told you about Miles right? The Major in charge of my division? Well we are pretty close. I think I told you that too. Perhaps you can visit some time when your not so busy and we can all go out to eat some where. Just you, me, and Miles, for your sake I wont invite mom. Ever sense the debate you two had about what I should become you two never got along. I am still your baby girl though. Anyhow don't be a stranger, come by once in awhile or reply to these emails I keep sending you........"
It was another beautiful day in paradise, also known as the big apple. For some it was escape from their old lives across the ocean or from home back west. It was always so inviting but if you did not have what it takes to live in it you ended up in the bad parts of town for better or worse. However, it was the type of city that if you could make it, you could make it anywhere. Life was good for most people, some struggled and some did not. The ones who struggled you often found on the news, mostly because they decided to take a swan dive off one of the high sky scrappers on manhattan. There were all kind of people living in the city too, Italians, Russians, Japanese, Cubans, Mexicans and all kinds of different races. Some were forced to come here and some did so willingly. Either way they were here and the city did not look like it does now. It was a thing of the future, from light rails that could take you from one spot of the city to the other safely and quickly. Neon lights seemed to decorate the road ways from shops and stores of all shapes and sizes. It was something to behold of course. Almost like a Neon Tokyo, but it was New York.
Somewhere in New York at a army base close to the river, a alarm went off. Not some mobilization alarm or disaster alarm. A alarm coming from a clock on a night stand in someones private chambers. Erika's eyes opened slowly as she stared up at the ceiling for awhile before her hand reached out and slapped the button to turn it off. "Another day in paradise." She said. She rose up and checked the computer on her desk. Its monitor still on giving the room its only source of light. She could see that her email had no response. She sighed and blew a bit of hot air up her face causing her bangs to rise for a second. She wondered why her father would not respond to her at all. Is he that busy or is he just ignoring her responses? Is he that angry with her about deciding to become a marine instead of a doctor like him? She got up and reached a hand behind her to pull up her underwear and moved to the closet. She opened it and saw her uniform. It was not like your standard united states marine uniform. It was slightly different. Because we were in the time of age where corporations were able to build their own armies, hers was different. Wayland Yutani had indoctrinated itself into the American military though so she was still a soldier for the states, however she still belonged to Wayland Yutani corporation. She looked to the shoulder of her jacket and it had the Typical insignia of a large W and a Y in behind it. Under neath it it said "Wayland Yutani Corporation, Building better safer worlds for everyone. " She snorted and shrugged at the same time. That was right her father's company was in charge of building pretty much machines that could terraform worlds and make them live able. Mars and the Moon were the front runners of that project. After their success the company moved onto bigger projects. However, to say that was the only thing they did would be stupid and ignorant. With such duties they needed other assets to help out with the projects. They needed their own forces and soldiers in case shit hit the fan on some derelict planet and they needed to send out a task force to clean it up. Therefore they had military contracts and weapons divisions. Of course every corporation needs money so they branched out into other industries. Cosmetics, prosthetics, clothing, and yes even food. Now unlike most businesses that made food and sucked at it, her fathers was actually pretty successful at it. The cola tasted awesome and so did some of the snack foods they put out. They even had water that they claimed was from one of the moons of Saturn. She did not really think it was but who really gives a fuck. It is water, that is all you need to know. It did taste good though... even more so then the Fiji water.
After she put her jacket over her tank top and grabbed her pants she walked over to her bed and sat down. Here she slowly put it on fitting one leg in and then the other. Then came a fresh pair of socks and then her shoes. She then moved over to a weapons cabinet and looked to the datapad located on the right door. She pressed a button and a key bad slowly pushed out underneath it. "Please enter your four digit pin" came up one the screen. She quickly did so, these things were so sensitive and annoying that if you didn't do it fast enough it would telll you to do it again or that it did not get the code. Fail too many times and it locks up and then you have to call maintenance. Once she hit enter another device opened. It was a eye scanner and she sighed and lowered her face towards it and held her eye open with her fingers. The red laser shot out and scanned for only a second, causing moisture to gather and drop down her cheek. "Welcome, Miss Erika. I hope you have a beautiful day." The artificial intelligence said. She smiled and gave it a thumbs up. "I'll try...." She said as she reached up and pulled open the cabinet. She removed from it her vest that went over her jacket. It held two side arms and two slots on each side that held in them to magazines. These were strictly for the .45 autos. Next came the next piece of her equipment. It was the belt which held four slots for 5.56mm cartridges. Those were for the M41A pulse rifle which hung from its place on the far wall of the cabinet. These things were something alright. Much better then anything the army has. These things were a whole lot of kick assery, side from its regular arsenal it also had a 20mm grenade launcher as well. That alone made the marines of Wayland Yutani pretty formidable.
She took her rifle hooked up its sling and then swung it over her shoulder. She took from a shelf a few 20mm grenades and placed them in slots on her belt as well as a few stims. Stims were good for killing pain and stopped most wounds from bleeding. She then took a few regular frag grenades and then stepped back and closed the cabinet while she placed them in their spots on her belt. Once she was ready she moved over to a mini fridge and bent down and opened it. She grabbed from it a ice cold Wayland Cola. She was addicted to the things. After Wayland bought out Coke Cola and Pepsi they put out all kinds of drinks. That were even more amazing then what the companies had before. She did not know what else her father did but she sure did like the soda they developed. She twisted the cap off and put the top to her lips and took a long gulp from the soda. She drained it down to half way before lowering it. She then turned around and headed for the door and opened it. She was greeted by the sunny sky and green grass of the military base. Her place was kinda like a shack... a really expensive nice shack. Which was kinda funny in her mind. It had air conditioning, its own shower and toilet. Everything a girl needs... well the mini fridge wasn't there when she got it. That was her own little gift to herself. Beat making trips to the damn store or mess hall every day. She looked around and found soldiers doing their morning exercises and smiled tilting her head down and giving a slight wave in charge of the morning drills. He saw her gesture and nodded. She slowly began to head towards the recreation hall to check out on her men specifically, then she began to hear a noise.... a loud annoying beeping noise. When she looked down she saw that it was her arm. Her new augmented arms. She was basically half android.... well her arms were machine, mostly. Well up to her shoulder were all gears and machinery. A gift from her father so to speak. She raised it up and pressed it with a free index finger. "This is Erika how can I help you?" She said.
"You need to work on your introduction lady..... your supposed to say. 'This is Lieutenant Erika Brawns how can I help you?" Came back a voice. She snorted and chuckled a bit. "So court martial me then,... anyhow what did you want Miles?... oh I am sorry Major Miles." She said correcting herself. She heard a sigh. "You know if you keep sounding too formal with me people will suspect we have a thing." Came back the same voice.
"Hun,.... they already know. I mean we haven't been exactly covert about it. Now what is it?" She asked.
"Good point,... anyhow I need to see you in my office. I have all the other Lieutenants with me right now. It's urgent and you need to be here......"
----------------------------------------------------
Forty hours before...........
"How are the specimens?...." A lady in a large lab coat spoke. She stared through the glass. On the other side was a Xenomorph. Specifically labeled underneath the class was the number Nine. On it's forehead was also imprinted and cut into it the same number. That was her name Nine. Nine had been taken away from a clutch of eggs on a derelict planet. The egg she was in had been frozen and brought back to earth. It took nearly a hundred years for it to get here but it got here. When it did they thawed it out and then with a little help from the local poor population. She was born. A Xenomorph warrior,.... this warrior seemed far superior then the others they had made. Well that's what Lucy believed anyways. "She is perfectly healthy Doctor. Odd enough she has been rather calm and cooperative today." He said as he tapped the glass. Despite the irritating noise it caused Nine did not look over at him. Her gaze was placed solely on Lucy. She found it a bit disturbing at that. "Strange.... she is never calm... nor cooperative. I don't know how many times we had to gas her." Then suddenly the lights flickered. Lucy looked up at the lights and when they went back to normal she looked to her assistant. "Go see what that was...." She said. The man nodded and headed for a intercom.
"Hello Command,... this is Doctor Thomas A. Broch. What was with the flicker a little while ago?" He asked. There was a pause,..... a very odd pause that had never happened before. He was about to press the button again when a response finally occured.
"Do not worry about it,... we are handling the situation now.......... Sir what ever you do, do not shoot that....." gun shots could be heard. It sounded like it came from some automatic machine gun. Afterwards came a long static noise. What came after him and Lucy did not expect. The whole building shook violently and then the lights went off. The doctor had clung to the wall trying to keep his balance as much as he could. Emergency power had turned on and the lights went back on and when he looked around he saw Lucy staring wide in the eyes through the glass. "What is it Lucy?" He asked. He looked to her hand as it raised and pointed. "She is gone......" Was all she had said. The doctors face became that of panic as he rushed over and saw that the restraints had been destroyed and there was a large hole in the ceiling.
"What the...... we got to retrieve her before she....." In his panic he did something stupid. He moved over and opened the door and went inside the room. He moved to stand right below the hole and looked up. He looked back to Lucy. "She's not......." He said but then his eyes went wide once more. Right behind Lucy he saw a large pitch black object drop. It then rose up and stood right behind Lucy. "Lucy... she is right behind you, whatever you do don't...."
Before he could finish his sentence he saw blood splatter about the glass window as a hole was punched through her head. Nine grabbed her body by the shoulder and shoved her away. Nine then pressed a button and then the doors closed Thomas inside. Nine let out a hiss. It's tail shattering the pad so he couldn't get out. What she did next was its own desire of revenge. His eyes went to Nine's hand as it moved towards a very familiar button." Nine,... don't do it. I was always nice to you Nine. Remember that.... it was Lucy who was mean to you. She deserved what you did but I was nice to you remember?" He tried to plea. The hand continued to move towards the button. Nine staring directly at him and then with a quick motion of its hand it pressed the button and instantly the vents shot out the very same painful gas that was used to put her out. None lethal to her kind but... for a human. It was highly toxic. All Nine listened to for the next ten seconds was his screaming until finally there was quiet. Nine hissed and looked about the hall way. She noticed a lot of her kin were out of their restraints just like her. What she did next was one by one release all ten of her kin. Once they were all out they escaped back into the vents and headed for their queen......
Five hours later Nine had reached the Queen's chambers with little time to spare she began to punch tiny holes in the Queens wrists where she was bound. Not enough to hurt her but enough to cause her blood to come out and spill onto the metallic restraints that quickly began to melt. Once the restraints were weak enough. The Queen broke free from them and with her kin she pushed through the door. What she saw was a man. The man was bald and he had some weird nazi tattoos on his forehead. "Them bastards thought they could just abuse alien life forms down here without consequence I will show them." He then made a gesture. " I made a large as hole in the side by the power generators. Should give you a escape route into the sewers...." He said, explaining. I suppose he thought the Xenomorph Queen would thank him... or spare him for his act of justice for her kin. However,.... She had no remorse for a creature that would betray it's own kind. She swung with her large sized hands so fast and so quick he couldn't react fast enough. His eyes went wide and traced down to his gut. He then saw blood began to leak out. "But..... I rescued you......." His top half then separated from his lower half and the lights were forever turned off for him. The Queen took his directions and proceeded the way he said to go. It did not take long before her and her kin escaped into the sewer system underneath manhattan.......

.........The Now.
Jin Yujiro was located on the other side of the island in the suburb of Broadway and Lexington. He was there at a police hub standing at a counter. "Look,... I am just here to collect one of my men. He said he had been arrested by one of your men and I came to post bail." He said his finger pressing up against the desk. He was not too happy either. "Look I am not happy he is here either....." He said and the lady rolled her eyes and then looked at him.
"Fine,.... but he is still being processed. Once he is done you can pay for him. Until then...." She said gesturing to a seat. "Please wait and let me do my job." She said. He moved into a standing straight position as his eyes blinked. Did she just sass him?.... He sighed and accepted what he heard and just went over and sat down. Damn pig.... can't they just learn to leave us alone. He heard the bell ring and looked to the door to see a very familiar woman walk in. One she did not quite feel like seeing right now.

He laughed it off and then looked to the lady at the desk. He then rose up and walked over. "Second thought... let him sit for awhile. He could use the time.

"Sorry maybe next time... old man Cheng ain't paying his protection money again." She said. Jin looked around at the cops and then back at her. "You know you just said that in front of a police depo right?"
She rolled her eyes. "So... its not like I am going to kill him or anything. It's probably not him though... he usually pays but now. Second time in the row. There must be something wrong and I plan to find out what." She said. She walked up to the street towards a black motorcycle. It was a kawasaki. She swung her leg over and then looked over at Jin. She lifted up her black helmet. "I will win you over Jin Yojiro.... don't think you got away from me." She said. He smiled and made a gesture.
"Your welcome to try Taki....." He replied and off she went. He sighed once more and looked around. Now what..... was all he had on his mind.

Hotaru sat at home. It wasn't a school day so today she was here. It was her eighteenth birthday. She was officially a young woman now. Well Japanese standards she was of age four years ago. Thank god she lived in america as a foreign exchange student. She still recieved cat calls though from horny men. Both American and Oriental decent though. She sighed. I suppose men are the same everywhere. She looked at the clock and was trying to decide if she was going to go out or not. The local book store was open now and she would like to look for a new book to read. She however, was just not feeling it right now. Then something happened. She heard the sound of her being buzzed at the door. She rose a brow and rose up. She walked over and stepped over towards it and pressed the button. "Who is it?"
"It's me Hotaru... its your dad." Came a familiar voice and her eyes light up and she went for the door and opened it. What she saw was her old man standing there with a cake and a few balloons. "What are you doing here?.... did you come all the way from Japan just for my birthday?" She asked.
He simply just lifted up his arms that held the cake and a few presents. She smiled and moved out of the way and gestured for him to enter. "Thank you,... I really appreciate it." She said as she took from him the cake and a few presents. She then helped him to the kitchen and placed the cake down and next to it the gifts.
"Do you have a boyfriend yet?" He asked and she turned red.
"No father I do not.... I am just not into the guys here." She said. He nodded accepting the answer.
"Your hunting for one like those people in those books aren't you?" He asked. She sighed and nodded. "It wouldn't hurt to look father....." She replied and he nodded once more.
She then moved to sit down at the table and she smiled at her father. Now she was glad she hadn't gone to the book store today. This was all she wanted for today. Just some time with her father. She then looked around the room and rose up. "You hungry father? You must have had one hell of a plane ride." She said. He looked up and tried to wave her off.
"I ate some on the plane." Was his excuse. She just shook her head.
"Father you know full well that that stuff doesn't count as food. I got enough don't worry" She said as she walked over to the fridge and opened it. To his surprise he saw a lot of stuff that you would see in the old country back home. "I could never get used to the food here,... I mean I like fast food but sometimes I miss your home cooked meals. Luckily there is a place called china town. They have all kinds of things you find back home in Japan. Even some of the sodas.... you know the kind that have the marble inside them." She said. He smiled at his daughter. She then began to pull out some food that she knew he would love. Including some squid... She put them on the counter as well as a few carrots and seaweed. Next came some already cooked rice. Once she had everything she needed she put her hands together and started to try and think of what she should make.

On the military base a rather large man was polishing a jeep. The man had a bald head and a rather large beard. It was surprising that his higher ups didn't make him shave. Luckily he was not in some ordinary outfit. He was with Erika and her group. He was just making sure the mud was all washed off seeing as it was refusing to rain. His hand then wondered off to a basket and grabbed a good sized piece of jerky and brought it to his mouth and tossed it in and chewed. Today was another non eventful day for him. He suddenly looked to his left and saw Erika walking up to the main building where Miles office was. He was going to wave but she was in her own little world it would seem. "Lucky bastard.... having such a fine little flower like that." He said mostly to himself. However, he remembered he was in the presence of one of his men. Before he could say anything his voice sounded off.
"Flower?.... well I guess you can say that. But you know what they say about Roses?" He said. In unison him and Jarvis said the answer. "Every Rose has its thorns.... "
"Yeah I know. She aint that bad though. You make her sound like a bitch from hell" Jarvis said. The guy shrugged. Jarvis just shook his head at the man.

........ At a construction site. Ramiro Alvarez returned to work after a lunch break. "Welcome back Ramiro... you have a good vacation?" The foreman said. Ramiro stopped and sneered at the man. "I was only gone for thirty minutes man.... lay off. Don't make me call the union rep. again." He threatened and the foreman glared at him. The foreman then headed back to his office and kicked a bucket.... a bucket full of dry cement. He hollered in pain which caused Ramiro to laugh. "Dumbass.... looks like one of your great employees forgot to use the cement to fill in the hole... again." He fired at him. He then moved towards his work space. It wasnt far... just a elevator ride up to the third floor. Nothing to difficult. As long as the damn boss got off his ass. I swear that man has it in for him for some reason.....
....As he moved to the Elevator he had this strange feeling he was being watched. Not by the foreman or any of the other workers. By something else. He turned around and looked all over the place in attempt to try and spot it. What he saw though was a figure. It was quite a distance away in a gutter. A black figure staring right at him. It was too far for him to really figure it out. Then he blinked and it was gone. He suddenly had a shiver down his spine and made his way towards the elevator. What the hell was that? He thought to himself.
