Nine drew ever farther from the hive and was now right dab in the middle of Kentucky. She had just started around a corner and watched as the group drove away. She hissed as she recognized one portion of the group from the ones that got away. She looked to several other xenomorphs, lesser ones then herself and hissed. Her orders to them were simple. That them and and several other of her kin in the area would follow the group and will not stop hunting them until they were taken or killed. Each one of them deserved a quick and painful death. However, something she did not expect happened. A rather large helicopter of gunship flew in and above them and before she could react it's guns began ripping into her kin. The bullets only ripped into them though and not her. She did not understand nor did she really care. Then the gunship turned to its side and she saw a man aiming a very complicated looking rifle. It was radiating with energy and suddenly it was all released and when it hit her everything went black. Her body hitting the floor as she fell into a deep slumber. The man with the rifle felt a hand pat his shoulder. He looked up and saw a man in a white jacket and circular glasses. "Good job soldier, thanks to you we now have the original batch,... well some what the original batch. Thanks to them getting out we lost a few but oh well." He said. He then looked up at the convoy the group created that was now a good distance away. The sound of their helicopter was silenced so they would not have heard it. However, he was surprised with so many xenomorphs around that there was such a large group of survivors. This intrigued him to the point he had to investigate back at the lab. The turret had a good amount of room in it and inside you could see the large racks with the shells that it fired. Each one looked like it weighed a ton but in truth they only weighed about a hundred pounds. Jarvis smiled and closed the hatch behind them. "Yup this be our home, seeing as we pretty much lost the places we lived we chose this giant as our home. It comes in mighty find handy for the xenos can not punch through it no matter how much they try. Well them spitters are a bit of pain in the ass but we usually target them first so they don't melt any holes in it. Other then that we run the bastards over or hit them with the cannon." He explained as the tank pushed forward behind the convoy of trucks. He looked through his view point towards the first truck. He sighed and knew what was going to happen and he hated it. He shook his head to get his mind off of it and looked over at the jerky. He grabbed another stick and tossed it to her while grabbing one for himself. "I love these things,...helped me get off alcohol to tell you the truth. Every time I felt the urge to drink I just ate a few of these things to get my mind off of it. Now that I killed one habbit I should focus on killing the other ,but eh... maybe when I finish these cuban cigars off. Liberated them off a abandoned police depo." He said with a smile. Bakki looked to Blitz and then back forward towards the trucks in front of them. He sighed knowing that both their jobs just got a lot harder. Kiley wasn't the problem. It was her father. He wasn't going to say anything sense Kiley and Jarvis could still hear them. He just let his feelings show through the whole thing. "Well today is going to be a long one...." He said. Erika sneezed as she drove and looked up in front. "Someone must be talking about me,.... bet it is that ungrateful bastard known as Kiley's father." She said and she felt Miles hand on her shoulder. "I trust you to make the right decision when the time comes...." He said and she looked to him and then forward again. "Yeah,.... but I don't like to have to make it, but I know I am going to have to." She said. She knew she would have to kill Ralph. She could feel the animosity from him and she knew he would endanger her and her crew. She would be damned if she let some drunk bastard harm any one of them. "Jin,... when we get there you keep good care of Hotaru. If that bastard even makes an attempt to hurt her or anyone and me or Miles is not around you put him down. Understand?" She said as she looked at the rear view mirror. "Don't you worry,... I will take care of him. We come too far to let that man cause it to fall apart. Kill one, save a hundred." He said. He understood the stakes and they were high. It pissed him off more then anything. Not only did they have these Xenomorphs to deal with along the way but now they have a drunken man to watch out for. He swore if he ever harmed Hotaru or anyone of their group. Kiley's father or not he would kill him. Hotaru was mainly silent. She felt sorry for Kiley because what if it was Kiley that ended up pulling the trigger. She knew it would hurt her more if she had to do it. She knew herself couldn't kill her own father. She sighed and once more slid over and looked out the window. It was so much easier when all they had to worry about where the monsters hunting them.....
