Daren and Daniel were standing next to each other in the main laboratory of Margaret Von Dennison. The two stood in silence waiting for Dr. Dennison to come when the sound of the lab doors opening sparked their attention. "Why the hell are you in my laboratory? Did I miss a corporate memo? I'm thoroughly sure that I didn't send an invite." Dr. Dennison said as she walked in and approached Daniel.
"We have some things to talk about." Daniel responded.
"No we don't. If by some reason you have forgotten that we don't talk, let me remind you by calling security."
Daniel laughed. "You're going to call the building security on a man who works in the building?"
"Oh, not you, your little friend. I don't even know him, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the clearance to be in here." Dennison reaches for the phone.
"He has all the clearance he needs."
"And why is that?" She says as she stops her pursuit of the phone.
"Daren is acquainted with your daughter, Analisa, and there's been an issue that needs to be resolved."
Dennison's interest to the matter began to peek. "What about my daughter?"
Daniel looked back at Daren. "I'll let him explain." Daren stood up and placed his hands in his pockets in a nervous way. "Well, Dr. Dennison, I'm friends with Krystal Shaw, and some weird things have been happening ever since our friendship started."
"Of course…" Dennison starts. "Anyone who gets near that freak of a child should expect "weird" things to happen. Don't even get me started about what she did to this building not too long ago."
"Well, I already know about that. What I'm talking about is how things have been going ever since your daughter has taken an interest in Krystal."
"Oh…" Dennison shrugs at the comment as if she was expecting it and takes a seat. "What is my daughter doing that has alarmed you?"
"A few things, but mostly because there are a good number of dead bodies at the high school Krystal and I go to, and I'm pretty sure Analisa is behind it."
Dennison smiles. "Well, it looks like my beautiful daughter is making her mother proud."
"What!" Both Daniel and Darren say in unison.
"Ana is on a small mission for me."
"What might that mission be?" Daren asks.
"That's for me to know. All you two need to know is that you two are no longer welcome in my laboratory." Dennison stands up. "Now, if you can please make your exit. I'm sure you know where the door is."
Dennison walked deeper into the lab as Daniel and Daren stood looking at each other. "We need to figure out what's going on." Daniel whispered to Daren. "Let's get back to the lab. I got some things I want to run by you."
Even though Daren and Daniel were having a hard time trying to figure what was going on, Analisa was having a hard time herself.
Analisa was on the floor, on her back, with Krystal mounted on top of her. Krystal's tail was seductively floating in the air back and forth, while her mouth was salivating with drool falling from her lips. The tips of Krystal's fingers had morphed into long black talons that were sharp enough to cut Analisa's skin with the slightest touch. Krystal slowly and gently ran her talon-like fingers across Analisa's face, being careful as to not to harm her features. "What are you doing? Krystal, get the hell off of me!" Analisa shouted. Analisa was scared beyond belief, but didn't want to show Krystal that side of her.
"Krystal? Who's Krystal?" Krystal asked and moved in almost a slithering nature. "Oh, that's right; Krystal is this young, fresh, untouched nubile body that I inhabit."
"What?"
"Oh don't act like you don't know who I am…Analisa."
"You're…you're the Xenomorph brain wave in Krystal's head."
"Yes, yes I am, and with your help, I'll be able to be the only one in my head."
"So, who exactly are you?"
"I'm surprised you don't know. I've already abbreviated my name to be known as Zara." Zara leaned in closer to Analisa, while placing her hand around her throat. "I've never realized how invigorating it was to be able to communicate with actual language. Telepathy becomes quite old and such a nuisance after a while."
"How are you speaking our language?"
"It was difficult at first, but merging Krystal's mind with mine while I'm speaking helps significantly."
"So enough playing around, what do you want?"
"I've already told you, "youstupid,insulatebitch", I want this body as my own. You're going to help me."
"Ok, one, I heard that. Have you forgotten that I have a psychic link with Krystal? Second, how am I able to help you?"
Zara stood up and began stretching, allowing Analisa to stand up."You know how to destroy the other side, Krystal. If you don't know, I'm sure you know someone who does."
"You want me to help you destroy Krystal's conscious?"
"What…is that not what you want? Don't you want Krystal to become a killer? You want to control her for your own reasons. You're here for your mother, but your mother is not aware that you have your own agenda."
"My agenda is my agenda, no one else's, especially not you."
Zara walks closer to Analisa. "Are you going to assist me into reaching my goal, or not?"
Analisa got into Zara's face. "What if I choose to refuse?"
Zara smiled, and with a speed that not even Analisa could see, punched Analisa in the stomach, causing her to double over onto her knees. Zara then grabbed Analisa by the back of her neck and threw her in the air, hitting the ceiling and falling back down to the ground. Zara then kicked Analisa so hard that she flew across the room, hitting a wooden shelf and shattering it into pieces. Analisa fell to the ground. Coughing up blood, she managed to fight out the words, "I'll help you." Zara smiled and replied. "Of course you will."
Daniel was showing Daren a few things back in his own lab. After the failed attempt to gain any information from Dr. Dennison, they began to think of an alternate plan of action.
"So what are we going to do?" Daren asked .
"The first thing we have to do is find Krystal and Analisa. Until we find them, we really can't do anything."
"How exactly are we going to do that? It's not like Krystal's dad had her tagged with GPS or something. Wait…he didn't tag her for real, did he?"
"No, he didn't. He suggested it at one point in time, but I was able to convince him that it was pretty messed up to do something like that. We already had fucked with Krystal life enough; we didn't need to make it worse. Right now, I'm kind of wishing we did." Daniel began shifting his eyes.
"Something tells me that you have an idea. What is it?"
"Well, it's a long shot, but your remark about the GPS got me kind of thinking. We actually do have a way to pinpoint Krystal's location, you!"
"Me? How am I…wait….you want me to try to read Krystal's mind, don't you? She's too far, I can't do it. When it happens at school, it just happens, and we've always been right next to each other. I seriously doubt it'll work without being in the same room."
"I was afraid you were going to say that. I have an idea, something that'll boost your mind to the point that you'd be able to talk to her."
"You're not talking about some type of room, and machine that I can place on my head to locate any telepathic people in the world? If you are, you read way too many comic books."
"No, actually that would be cool. I'm talking about Krystal's Xeno side. What if we give you Xeno DNA? That should give your mind the added boost enough to link with her."
"Oh no man, I'm not turning myself into a freak like Krystal, or another one of your lab rats."
"Well, I have some bad news for you; you're already a freak of nature."
"What, the mind reading shit? I'm taking a wild guess, but I'm guessing it's all because of Krystal, not me."
"Really, well explain to me why you have Predator DNA in you right now."
"Uh…what?"
"When we had you locked up, we took some liberties that you weren't aware of. Don't ask me how because I'm not going to tell you, but we got a sample of your blood. I ran tests on it, and realized that you have the same signatures of the Yautja, also known as Predators, in your blood."
"Nah, you're fucking with me aren't you? There's no way that could be true. I'm one hundred percent human, and I'm proud of that mother fucker!"
"Think about it, has there been any point in time you've come in contact with Krystal's…bodily fluids?"
"Really, you're asking about exchanges of bodily fluids? If you're asking if Krystal and I have fucked, no we haven't. Sorry to disappoint you. All we've done is make-out."
"Damn, that wouldn't be enough to do anything."
"But wait; there was a moment where I got some of her blood on me. Not a lot, just a speck."
"When did this happen?"
"At school, Krystal had just gotten done shooting up something. I'm guessing her vaccine to stop her from going all alien on us."
"That would be it! Her blood is more viable ever since she's been infused with the hybrid. Skin contact would be enough since the blood would seep under your skin and into your blood stream."
"So Krystal gave me some type of alien AIDS? That's awesome, in a sarcastic way of course."
"Listen, we don't have time to play around with this. Are you up for some experimental testing that could help us find Krystal?"
"Wow, since you put it like that…why not, I mean what's the worst that could…" As Daren was talking, Daniel quickly took a syringe and stuck Daren with it in the neck. "What the hell man!"
"You only have a few seconds before you pass out. I just injected you with a modified version of what we gave Krystal. Congratulations…" As Daniel was talking, Daren passed out. "You're now a hybrid."
