Building better worlds. The slogan for the infamously powerful Weyland Yutani corporation spreads across all human colonies for millions of light years in multiple sectors. Where they were responsible for setting up dozens if not hundreds of colonies around the galaxy they often performed with their own goals in mind. Alien life wasn't something new. Everyone knew of it now and they were mostly seen like animals. But two species in particular caught the interest of this company. The stealthy and killer shadows known as the Yautja and the parasitic infestation known as the Xenomorphs. Each had been studied for years across multiple facilities. But these creatures often led to blood shed in their wake. But one man was able to secure a facility of great security and purpose. On a small moon called LV-116 a facility housing a rare live specimen for the past eighteen months was built with vast security. Housing a few hundred people and many armed guards the base was well equipped. But the thing about working with unpredictable creatures is that they often surprise you.

Charles Frollo Tenebres was the supervisor and leader of the facility. He was an expert in what he did and what he did was revolutionary. Being an older gentleman in his early fifties he carried a wisdom about him but a brutal fury contained within his humble look. A bit over a year ago a Yautja was found assaulting a colony for sport. The creature however failed when it tried to leave and the result was a dangerous injury. Being secured by Tenebres's forces and brought back they operated on it and kept the hunter under heavy drug sedation. He had a bomb implant placed into his neck as a security measure and was placed arms and legs spread on a observation room. He was kept in the minimal for his species and had numerous scars. For years he was experimented on with both chemicals and eventually in combat. Being made to fight numerous creatures to the death the data gathered was incredible. But when he was caught Tenebres got a damaged but salvageable ship full of their tech. This led the facility on LV-116 to gain new weapons and equipment. From plasma turrets, a variety of visual fields and even stealth tech the forces here were above all others in tech and would rival the Yautja themselves.

In his white and pristine lab coat the gray haired Charles looked down from an observation window to the raised table where the captive Yautja was held. One mandible seemed broken off and several wide scars were across his body. The dreadlocks seemed to have a couple missing and the yellow skin glared in the lab lights pointed at him. The table was at a 100 degree angle pointing him up the two floors to face Charles. Though the glass was one way he knew the doctor was there. The creature clicked its mandibles as its hands and feet were heavily restrained and a drip in both wrists keeping him sedated. Tanks behind the table contained many liters of the right chemicals.
"We have a special surprise for you today my friend. A very special fight I believe your species are familiar with." Charles says over the microphone. "In an hour you'll get to fight one of our home grown Xenomorphs and show me just what you're capable of." He shuts off the microphone and smirks to the creature. The Yautja clicks and stares at him. A hateful blood lust in the beasts eyes but with a faint glimpse of defeat.

Ghost had been the last member of his clan for many years. So to hear that one of his fellow Clan members was captured infuriated the Predator, both at his fellow Yautja for being capture and at the ones whom are keeping him caged. He searched for LV-116, only using the last signal from his fellow Yautja's ship. With that, he discovered in a scan where he was being held, a large fortress with what looks like weapons derived from Yautja technology, which only furthered the beast's anger. He began to get close to the planet and went in, activating his cloaking around his ship and went in to land and bring a brother home.

LV-116 was a habitable but rough world. With orange and red stone deserts which spread for hundreds of kilometers and small trees and weeds covered the landscape. Built over looking a vast gorge was the facility on the world. The facility was massive. About four kilometers around and was set up like a small colony in a circle like fashion. A hanger and landing pad were located on the Eastern and Western sections of the facility while the main building sat in the center. It was around twenty stories and the largest single structure. The whole facility was walled in and three smaller buildings were inside it. These were only single stories and were spread around evenly. One the walls were several heavy anti air guns. Each capable of blasting a military grade dropship to pieces with one round. These scanned about for any movement of large enough objects. Anything larger then a small car would be targeted and if found a threat fired upon. Numerous marines were around the base for security and a large drop ship began its decent from orbit.

The ship was of military design and was holding a dozen passengers, two crew plus two pilots. The ship began to descend from the sky cracking the dusty wind as it made its way to the landing pad. Charles Tenebres was informed of this and by the time the ship landed he was in the control center for the main facility.
"This is Doctor Tenebres requesting a full run down on the delivery." He says as the radio crackles and another voice speaks.
"Understood Doctor. This is Sargent Odonnel and here is the cargo manifest coming through now. Twelve convicted criminals from the prison colony of Gamma 312. What do you need them for Doctor? These men were for death row?" The Sargent asks.
"That's none of your concern but I ensure you it's all fine. Now resume your orders Sargent that's what you're contracted for." Tenebres responds.
"Yes sir my apologies." He says as the radio cuts out and Tenebres receives the data. He smirks as he watches the cryo frozen men be taken into the facility.

The scan showed the heavy Anti-aircraft guns. Since seeing as how this building had Yautja derived weapons, he wasn't taking a chance with his ship and landed a distance away. He kept his ship cloacked as he prepeared for this hunt. He grabbed his Bio-mask and put it on, but also his wrist blades, combi-stick, two shurikens, his plasma caster, and some laser traps. After getting everything ready, he de-cloaked his ship long enough to exit and began making his way to the fortress. He got on a ridge a distance away and used his Bio-mask to scan the fortress for entrances.

The base was extremely well fortified. Cameras kept the whole base under constant watch. No space larger then a few inches would be hidden from a cameras site. Guards patrolled armed with pulse rifles with improved visuals and ballistic rounds for slightly greater impact. The base was prepared for a possible Xenomorph outbreak or Yautja attack. Tenebres spent years studying both creatures and had built this facility to contain them. It was a safe bet to say he thought of most angles. However no system is perfect.

Inside the facility Tenebres was looking over the specimen list. In the secure containment levels they had a total of twenty four Xenomorphs. Tenebres interest led him to testing DNA combinations. Inside the facility he produced more then the standard human breed. He examined numerous potential hosts and through some deals recurred numerous animals for testing. Wandering to a viewing window Tenebres looked inside. Lights shinned around revealing two Xenomorphs in split cells. Each cell had a turret mounted on the roof should the creature have a chance of breaking out. The window was one way. The cells were split by a wall and the Xenomorphs inside seemed to be drones. They looked up to the glass and one seemed to be examining it.
"Clever aren't you." Tenebres says looking down the hall. Further down were more viewing areas and above each cell was data on the specimen. The ones he is at say 'Xeno-Drone-01-Mature' and 'Xeno-Drone-02-Mature'.

Ghost made clicking sounds, irritated ones as he saw them with pulse rifles and how secure the fortress was. This was definitely going to be a great hunt indeed. He activating his cloaking as he climbed down the ridge, making his way to the fortress. He made more clicking noises, this time curious ones, as he looked through his different visions, making clicking noises as they changed. He saw the hidden camera's, which were hidden well and thought to himself on how to enter the fortress. He began to look around the compound for a way to get in, silent as a ghost as he moved around.

The Xenomorph holding cells went on for some time. Tenebres stopped by and checked on each. Eight were Drone, six Warriors, four were Runner Drones which were spawned from a feline or canine host, two were Warriors but bulkier as they spawned from Gorillas and the last four were another type of Warrior spawned from a buffalo. These had horns similar to the host and walked on all fours much like the Runners. They had the same rigid heads as warriors. Each one had their own cell and Tenebres had great data on them. From growth times to habits and even feeding behavior. They all fed using their inner jaw. It would seem to be the only way inside their body as their inner jaw sat on a muscular series of jaw muscles. They ate meat and could be seen to survive with the minimal supply. Tests revealed even water could sustain a Xenomorph into adulthood. These were some of the traits which gave Tenebres the respect of the creatures. But they did have some other specimens. Twelve Ovomorph eggs were kept in a cryo stasis for use. They were bred from a queen on another facility. Tenebres kept them under heavy turret guard not risking any escapees. Ovomorph eggs were what holds the Facehuggers. Considering they act much like a separate organism Tenebres thought it best to use a word to describe this other life form in the Xenomorphs life cycle.

Making his way to the lab he came across arguably he favorite sample. It was a small yellow container containing to liters of a Queens royal jelly. This was extracted from her egg sac and Tenebres wanted to figure out the effect it could have on the Xenomorphs. Insect species could have a strange effect when exposed to the queens jelly. This was something he intended to learn.
"How long until the next batch are ready for impregnation?" He asks a scientist.
"Approximately an hour. The Ovomorphs are being prepped as we speak." He explains. Tenebres nods.
"Wonderful." He wanders about looking over data. One piece was a recording a buffalo drone attacking the wall with its head. It dented steel but chipped its horns. Some mighty strength. It's bulk supported this.

Ghost found a spot where he could climb. He made clicking noises and switched to Night vision and began to climb up. He seemed to be on a landing platform, and they were taking frozen people inside. He made a quiet clicking noise, seeing there were humans with weapons around, and scanned the area for a way in. His cloaking kept him hidden as he stood in the middle of all this.

His scan showed a vent that he could get into, but it was ground level. He snuck over to it and waited to be hidden by the frozen people being transported inside. Luckily is was big enough he could get into, he to ripped the vent cover off the quickly went into the shaft, replacing the cover behind him.

In the security room something was detected. Motion and heat signatures showed something large entering the compound but it was unsure what it was. The cameras showed a large heat focused blob seemingly standing like a man. The footage was immediately treated as suspicious. Guards were put on note and once it seemed to disappear into the vents they were ordered to be checked. A man approaches the one giving this instruction.
"What's the issue? You called for an investigation team." The man in green says to the one at the desk. The desk man wore grey.
"Yes sir. I noticed a large heat signature which entered into the vents. It could have been a dust cloud and glitch but it was too consistent." He explains. The other man nods.
"Understood three men will be sent to investigate. I shall need the footage to look over."
"Yes Mr Marchel." He says sending the data to him. As he looked over it he sent out the three men to the vents. Each reported in and inside the building they went to the exists to that vent system. Two ended up in halls and another in the roof vent for a maintenance room containing several mechanical equipment.

Ghost moved through the vent, his clicking echoing in the vent's but not enough to hear at a conversation distance. He was not aware he caught on a camera and moved through the vent. He continually scanned until he reached what looked like a maintenance room. He then went to rip the vent off and drop in when two soldiers entered the room. He switched his vision to thermal and thought about his next move, waiting for his chance to kill.

The two men were armed with pulse rifles and they scanned the room. Looking up to the vent one raises his weapon with flashlight attached and looks up. Nothing seems to be there to the normal light. However with advanced sites they switch the rifles scope to thermal and look up. The soldier freezes for a second as he sees the glowing mass in the vent.
"Got something." He says as his partner walks in gun raised. Due to the vents bouncing heat and outside air the whole vent seemed warm but a mass of varying heats appeared inside which ticked them off.

Ghost realized he had been caught now. He backed up and waited for them to become less suspicious. After a few minutes of hiding, he could tell they turned their attention elsewhere. He slowly and quietly took the vent cover off and grabbed a laser trap. He tossed it on the floor in front of the door, knowing that it would get their attention as he dropped down into the room, still cloaked.

The metallic bouncing of the trap drew their attention as one went to look. However the heavy metallic thud caught the attention of them both. The size of the Yautja was too much not to make a noticeable sound. Looking through their scopes the soldiers saw the intruders heat signature.
"Hold it!" One yells. The door being opened and the yelling echoing. They each had their guns pointed and at the slightest movement would open fire.

Ghost had already had his wrist blades out when he hit the ground, making a scary metal sound as they left their holder. When the soldiers turned around and looked through their scopes, Ghost was already in motion. He made an uppercut like move, sinking his long, sharp blades through the soldiers torso. He made clicking noises as he lifted the solider up to his eye level, watching him bleed out and die, getting ready to turn to the next soldier.

The second soldier didn't give a moment. Once he saw his partner struck he pulled the trigger and held it firing dozens of rapid and quick bullets to their assailant. The clicking hum of the rifle ran out through the halls and this immediately send people in an alarm. Nearby workers called up to report gunfire and almost immediately a dozen men were sent in to ensure safety. The marine in the room however kept firing towards the hunter letting his friend bleed out on the blades. By this point he was already dead.

Luckily, his friends body was taking most to the bullets. A few hit and grazed his arms, which made him roar in pain. Luckily, the gun ran out of ammo. So when it did, Ghost shoved the corpse from his wrist blades as three red dots in a triangle shined from his bio-mask and landed on the soldiers head. They ran down his face and too his chest when the plasma caster shot a round of plasma at the soldier's chest, blasting a hole in it.

Ghost then walked over and picked up his laser trap he used as a distraction and replaced it on the wall before engaging his cloak and walking out the door, making sure to avoid soldiers and looking for his Yautja brother.

Only just being missed the Yautja made his way out but solders quickly found the bodies and triggered an alarm. Camera footage showed the plasma bursting through the other marine as it flew out the door. Due to the type of kills there was no doubt another Yautja was on the base. When the alarm was triggered the control room locked down the entire West wing which featured the area the Yautja was in and several labs including where the Ovomorphs were in storage.
"Security Breach Delta Lock-down initiated." A computer voice says. As the lock-down engaged heavy bulk head doors slammed shut every six meters in the hallways and all doors were auto locked and magnetic clams engaged with standard locking mechanisms. The whole section of the base with a metallic roar was quickly sealed up and all vents were as well closed and locked.

Charles had been informed and he got onto the comms to get an update.
"What the hell is going on there Marchel. Why has a Security Breach Delta Lock-down been initiated?"
"Sir we detected a heat anomaly and upon investigation we determined a Yautja had broken into the facility. The Western section of the base is in lock down and all turrets and cameras are set to thermal to bypass its cloaking." He explains. Charles looks rather surprised.
"A Yautja?" He says under his breath. His lips form a grin. "Perfect. Capture it alive if possible otherwise do minimal physical damage. We could learn so much from its corpse alone." He says almost with a sadistic glee. "Wait you said the Western section? Damn it the Ovamorphs. Get to work on securing that creature I don't have time for this."
"Yes sir right away." Marchel says returning to his work. Marchel was a middle aged man with short black hair and hardened brown eyes. He stood over this operation like any military sargent could as he prepared to try and capture the newcomer.

Ghost ended up getting trapped in a small area near the maintenance room and made very aggravated clicking noises. He deactivated his cloak and turned to the wall and charged his plasma caster. He fired a powerful blast at the wall, blowing a hole in it. He made his way through the hole and into what looked like a lab. He looked around and saw a scientist hiding behind a table with a dissected facehugger on it. He walked over to the scientist, scaring the scientist more. He made a humming sound as he switched visions, finding out that this man had not only a heart disease, but bad lungs. He looked at him for a second before the blades retracted and he turned, charging another plasma caster shot and blew a hole in the wall, making his way to it. He was now in what looked like a generator room.

The scientist ran for the panic button and slammed it repeatedly. This was an instant red light to the creatures location and within seconds two marines burst in. Each one had pulse rifles. From the control room doors were unlocked so men could get in and once they were in the doors locked again. The marines opened fire on the Predator and as the sound of fire lit up the area the scientist in the other room hid under a table holding his head down. The generator room had several walk ways and a large heavy plasma generator about the size of a small bus standing tall and encased in a protective armor. It was round like a tube and inside were four smaller tubes which were power cells. The railing they stood on put them several meters above the ground. This generator was made due to the captured Yautja tech and could power a great deal especially with the other four on the grid.

Ghost roared at them as he ran for cover behind the generator. He growled as he grabbed his two shurikens and readied them. Once he saw a delay in their firing, he ran out from his cover and threw the shurikens at the two marines, stabbing them through the chest and sending them flying back. He saw more marines enter the room and readied his plasma caster. He was about to fire when one marine hit his shoulder with a rather powerful shot, jerking his shoulder and making the plasma caster hit the generator's protective shield, destroying it and damaging it before he ran for cover again, roaring loudly in pain.
