One year later…

Location: Col Sector 237-15B-279 KB-451: Human Colony..

As I look around the canteen to which a few survivors congregate, one of the women walks up to me in a white lab coat with a USM logo.. Her name is Genevieve Mcalan.

Her black skin tone shining in the oled lighting.. I check her chocolate brown eyes and they are almost soulless.. Like she knows everyone here is going to die..

"We've lost another colonist after the attack.. If those things keep this up.. We won't last the next few days.. I know we owe you nothing.. That you simply were passing by.. But now you know the situation.. Are you going to let us die like this? Or will you help us?"

I look around.. And all eyes are on me..

"I happen to hate the USM with a passion.. But it doesn't mean i will let the denizens of this colony die like sick cattle.. Just say the word.. I'll help if i can.." I see the scientist perk up..

"Follow me.. I may have something that will help you.."

I follow her through the damaged corridors of Savannahs Haven.. And we come to a room..

With only one weapon.. It looks cobbled together with several magazines and small grenades.. She swipes her keykard and the glass door slides open with a swish.. It is stored in an old weapons station..

"Take this.. It will help defend you against the serpents.. I hope you succeed where others have failed Jonathan.. Thank you.. Thank you again.. If we don't see you again.. We will assume the worst.."

I give her a single nod and leave the room and take a left..

I take the aisle then walk on out.. I then head to the coordinates that professor Mcalan gave me.. It is a cavern where most have gone in groups to kill the Xenos.. Only they are either dead.. Or unaccounted for.. Swirling howling winds.. Dust and dirt kicked up making it hard for my crappy human vision to cut through at least 5 metres in front of me.. My black and yellow trench coat and black boots are caked in dust mud and dirt. Sev is in the distance to the east.. Coming away from the colonists I get the feeling they'd sooner shoot him..

I'm heading to a cavern.. My Xenomorph senses are heightened.

I feel.. Something.. Trying to.. Reach inside of my head.. Sev feels it too.. I can just feel him leaking agitation.. Who is trying to wriggle into our minds.. I stop..

Before me is a maw of darkness.. A dangerous but no less welcoming invitation.. They are here..

Sev slinks up behind me hissing with a choked hack.. He's angry.. I bring up my new toy.. An M24A pulse rifle.. Something the colonists managed to patch up and get working.. It comes with a yellow ammo count panel, High explosive tip rounds. And a 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher. Perfect for fireworks..

My vision pulses.. But i still feel.. That presence.. But as we enter.. I feel like I'm being watched from the corners.. And I hear the sinewy movement.. Yet every time I turn there's nothing… Sev also seems.. Zoned out.. He's mine ye bastard!

"Hey.. Hey Sev.. Oy! Snap out of it!" He growls shaking himself off..

We walk on in.. To a familiar sight..

Secretions all over the cavern walls..

And not only that i see my cousins.. How cute.. A family Reunion..

I feel their eyeless faces on me.. And the presence.. Begins to get stronger the further in the hive we go..

If it wasn't for my handy Xenomorph vision I'd be walking in pitch black.. But the constant white pulse illuminates the way..

We reach an opening but before we enter.. I hear.. Breathing.. Hissing heaved breathing.

As i enter.. My eyes widen.. Eggs.. Everywhere.. Xenomorphs crawling from the ceiling with inquisitive intent..

But the main presence in this room.. Is the huge.. 20ft colossal xenomorph at the far side of the camber.. Her crown splayed out like a magnificent plate.. Of ridged bone.. Her head unfolds from her bottom section revealing large teeth.. Her hiss.. Long and coarse..

I lower my weapon slightly and nod…

I look at Sev who is stood defensively to my right..

I look back at the monarch.

"Hello.. Mother.. I'm back.."

Author note: And that is it! Alien:Eidolon is over! This is just a small tiny dose of what to expect in the next story! A new direction a more robust J.C still with his unique charm.. And Sev as ominous as ever.. Who will also become more fleshed out as now he also has to deal with the threat that is his cousins! But these Xenomorphs are not your run of the mill terrors..

This new story is currently under planning, it will take a while because i have new projects lined up including existing ones..

After A Bad Stsr is finished, I'm moving on to a fantasy story featuring Dragons. All relevant information can be found on my profile..

Thank you again everyone.. Stay awesome.
