Hello, there. The Xenomorph King speaking. It seems that I lied to you. My story does not end on that fateful day when Alice left my planet and flew back home. If you are not familiar with that story, I will strongly recommend you to read my previous narrative(The Rogue Xenomorph). Now, I'm assuming all of you know who I am. I was once an average drone that came upon two human sisters. The two were named Abigail and Alice. They made me realize the importance friendship and bonds. This feeling made me do something no other xenomorph would ever think of doing, to rebel against the queen. Apparently, fate was on my side, for I was destined to transform into the xenomorph King, a being that only exists once every few centuries. I used this power to my advantage and overpowered the previous queen. Sadly during the skirmish, I was not able to save Abigail, Alice's older sister. However, I was happy to at least see Alice return to her family safely. I assumed that her parents had died when their ship crashed on our planet, but Alice's grandparents came to rescue her.
The story should have ended there. Alice is taken by her grandparents and I am left here to run this colony on the planet. Before she left, Alice even found a nice queen chestburster from the ship she came in that grew up to become a great subordinate queen that helped with reproduction, and moreover, she could produce eggs that laid chestbursters instead of facehuggers. Alice explained something about how scientists had altered the queen's DNA. So, I was the king of this thriving alien colony, and Alice was safe back at her home planet. What more is there to tell? Well, the problem was, Alice came back many years later with her own ship and crew.
Apparently, important information discovered by scientists about the advancement of technology was forgotten on the human ship that crashed onto our planet. After the chaos our xenomorphs attacking all the crew members and turning the large ship into an alien hive, the information did not seem to be a priority. But now, the humans realized they needed it, and they thought that the best person to send back to this alien infested planet is non other than the girl who had experienced the chaos here, Alice. I was quite surprised to see her back, and she was quite surprised that I did not recognize her….at first. Hey! Don't blame me, the last time I saw her was when she was ten. But enough of me summarizing this story, just here my narrative of exactly how the events went down.
It was any other ordinary day, living the life in a xenomorph hive as the supreme ruler. There wasn't really much to do in the past decade. There wasn't much violence, for no other beings came to our planets to put up a fight. It was relatively peaceful here. Our colony was able to thrive, especially because of the chestbursters being born directly from the Queen's eggs.
I wasn't a tyrant, mind you. I cared for all the warriors and drones in the colony. I was never oppressive nor did I resort to violence. There were a few individuals who did not follow my commands(probably due to the alteration of the queen's DNA), so in those cases, I did dispose of them. But overall, I was a caring Xenomorph King. I made sure the hive was protected and I showed love for my queen. However, one day, a heard a loud noise coming from the sky outside of our hive. I sent a few drones to scout the area.
They came back and gave me the news that a large ship was landing on the planet. They reported that the ships were filled with creatures they never seen before. I asked the drones if they looked like humans. I described what a human looked like to them. They all nodded and said that humans were on that ship. Humans! Why were they coming back? Were they here to set up camp and try to scrutinize our kind? This thought angered me. My priority was the protection of the hive. But then, I was reminded of what happened before with the previous Queen. The humans that had accidentally crash landed on this planet did not mean any harm to us. The previous Queen was just too aggressive and wanted to wipe them all out. I didn't want to be like the previous Queen. So I took a deep breathe and thought this through.
It was quite possible that these humans did not mean harm. Were they curious, did they need help. But as I began to think of the positive possibilities, it became more convoluted. It was more likely that these humans were prepared to do harm, because the drone mentioned that they had weapons. I ordered all the warriors and drones to go on defense mode. However, I ordered them to not kill any of the humans, but to bring them to my chamber as prisoners.
I awaited for further reports. After a while, a drone came into my chamber, informing me that a crew of six people approached the large abandoned ship where our hive was, but they carried no weapons. No weapons? What were they up too? I told the drones to tell the others to stand their grounds. I told them to be prepared for the unexpected. As a result, the warriors subdued the humans who tried to enter the ship. However, none of the xenomorphs killed any of them.
The humans were brought into my chamber one by one. Each one looked different than the other. They all seemed to be male. As each prisoner was brought in, I ordered them to be hung on the walls. I didn't really need hosts for the hive, but I wanted to "interrogate" these humans, for I did understand their language. However, the last prisoner who was brought on board seemed to be a female. She seemed like she was in her early twenties. Something seemed familiar about her, but I couldn't quite make the connection. When she saw me, however, her eyes widened and she seemed surprised. Did she recognize me? I ordered the drones to bound her to the walls like the rest of them.
"Hey!" shouted the female. "It's me, Alice! Remember?"
