This is it! The final chapter! This is my fourth completed story! So exciting :D Took a little time to get this out…Just like with Notes of a Killer and the reason I took forever to put the alternate ending up, you realize this is the last chapter! No more! *Sob*. My parents also wanted me to get my college transfer applications in before the new semester begins because I won't have time. Concerning the other AVP plot idea I have decided to combine it to be the sequel of this story because I wouldn't have to adapt it much and in order to understand what happened you don't need to need this first before the sequel. It gets a tad bit OOC with the showdown between Scar and Sebastian. My apologies for the fight scenes, you guys know I suck at them :p

I have a new poll on my profile, I would like for everyone to vote on it, please :)

Dear Katy Perry, you wouldn't believe how many times I listened to your song "E.T." while writing this story! Thanks for making it ;)

To Alan Menken- *Grovels on the floor* Thank you for making the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack! I listened to it so much while writing this!

Anyway, here's the last chapter of BatB: AVP Style!

Beauty and the Beast: AVP Style

The duo stared each other down for a good few minutes before either made a move. Scar took a step to the right and Lex mirrored him, moving to the left. "Any rules to this duel?" She asked.

"No sivk'va-tai." He responded as his weapon was already removed.

"Good. Mine is upstairs." She grinned sheepishly, but not losing her focus.

Scar smirked, "Foolish mistakes like that could put you at fault during a battle."

Lex nodded silently. She was surprised how easily and fast Scar learned proper English from her. He'd adapted to the Earth quite smoothly. He was truly amazing. She couldn't help but wonder if she was really going to board the ship with him when the time came. Leaving her father and everything she held dear behind all for romance. Things like that weren't unheard of, people often left town for love. But she wasn't just leaving town, she would be leaving the planet. Possibly even the galaxy.

The duo continued circling one another for additional few moments, watching each other's movements. They stared the other down, waiting to see who would move first.

Scar smirked, "Let's test your reflexes. How easily can you dodge this?" He suddenly chucked his chakt-ra at her, standing confidently. Lex's eyes widened in shock, doing the only thing she could in order to avoid the attack. Her body bent backwards as her hands reached to fall onto the cold floor. The disc flew over her body, narrowly missing her skin, and embedded itself into the kehrite wall behind them.

He smirked again, "Not bad. That's an interesting choice of movement."

Lex grinned triumphantly, "You're gonna have to try harder than that!"

"Who said I was trying?" One of Lex's eyebrows twitched in annoyance. "Now we will test your combat skills. I doubt you can keep up with me...but we'll see anyhow."

Lex returned to her normal stance, "Don't shut me out yet, Scar. I've been training quite a bit."

Scar's gaze said one thing to her.

Show me.

They began walking toward each other once more. Their faces were blank to avoid giving hints to their first move. Lex silently kicked a small stone in the kehrite, hoping Scar would take notice. She saw Scar's eyes avert to the movement and she instantly leaped at him. She threw her leg at his chest with all her might. Scar quickly changed his stance and grasped her foot before her attack hit. Lex gasped in awe, she hadn't expected Scar to react in time to defend himself. She furrowed her brow in anger. All this training and she was still not fast enough! Lex let out a low growl, clenching her fists fiercely.

"You are still weak silly ooman." Scar's words were certainly an insult, but he meant them only as encouragement, even though it was far from it.

Lex scowled and replied sarcastically, "Thanks."

"Lex that was not meant to hurt your feelings." Scar released her leg as she placed it back on the floor. "You will get stronger."

"I am stronger! I'm just not strong enough to beat you!" She growled again.

Scar chuckled, "I am an elite warrior. You couldn't possibly hope to beat me."

Lex glared furiously at Scar. Her glare only dissipated as she saw his amber eyes were closed as he laughed heartily. Her mouth turned into a sly grin as she threw a punch into his stomach. Scar immediately stopped laughing as the pain set in. He grabbed himself, checking the damage.

He continued poking and prodding for a moment, "Hmm…not bad. But that was a cheap shot."

"I'm sorry, what was that? 'Foolish mistakes like that could put you at fault in a battle'?" She looked smugly up at the Yautja before her.

"Again. A cheap shot." He growled.

"No one said it wasn't allowed." Lex said playfully with a smirk dancing on her lips.

Scar un-Yautja-like-ly rolled his eyes, "True. But I would not dare try that with other Yautja. Nevertheless, you have become stronger and you will continue to grow stronger. I know this for a fact. I sense it inside of you Lex. There is a fierceness and strength waiting to be unleashed."

Lex smiled widely, "You really think so?"

Scar nodded and pulled Lex into his warm chest in an embrace. She kissed each of his mandibles as Scar nestled his face into her soft brunette locks. Lex didn't want to ruin the moment but a question was still tugging at her in the back of her mind.

"Scar?" She hesitated. "When the time comes…do you…still expect me to come with you?"

This time Scar hesitated, "I have also been thinking about that and I have decided that if you truly wish to stay on Earth, so will I."

Lex beamed, she'd never been this happy or excited in a long time. But her happiness quickly faded, realizing an important fact.

"But…Scar…you'll be leaving behind your old life. I thought you wanted to go home?"

Scar frowned, "Of course I do…but I've become too attached to you to leave you behind."

"Really? You seriously mean that?" Scar nodded silently, gazing into her chocolate orbs.

"But before any of that happens we must defeat the kainde amedha and this Sebastian."

oOoOoOoOoOo

"Wow, Sebastian we've recruited a lot of people!" Thomas exclaimed, staring out at the crowd before them.

Sebastian smirked, "Yes, we have. We have seventy-three men willing and ready to fight. Surely this must be enough people to defeat those monsters."

Sebastian spoke to the crowd now, "Gentlemen! You have all been selected to partake in a small battle, us humans and two alien races. One race is colored midnight black and extremely fast. Their bodies are sleek and have many appendages, including a long dangerous tail and sharp talons. Their blood is acidic, so avoid it at all costs! It does not seem to have a weakness, but guns are the most effective against them."

He paused, hearing the gasps of horror and shock. 'No weaknesses?' They whispered over and over. "Yes I know, it seems pointless and impossible, but I've killed one. We must aim for the skulls. Now for the other alien, I have not personally seen myself. I know of someone who has though. He described the being as ridiculously tall. At least seven feet and it was bi-pedal. Its skin was mottled with a tan-ish green color. It also has claws but no tail. Instead, it wears armor and a mask. It has immense muscles, suggesting it is very strong. This one you must be even more careful with if you encounter it. When we arrive at our destination, it may have a female human with it. This woman is very special to me; she is to be my wife." He smirked.

Thomas joined in, "Yeah. So if any of you find her, escort her out of the battlefield and to safety. Do whatever it takes." Thomas received a nod of approval from Sebastian.

"We'll be leaving in a few moments and we should arrive in a month. Get your things ready for departure."

Soon after, Sebastian, Thomas and the other seventy-three men departed from Alexandria, heading back to their town, where dangers awaited them.

oOoOoOoOoOo

In the month that Weyland had been reunited with his daughter, he was promptly taught some of Scar's fighting techniques. Scar refused for him to be useless in this interspecies war. Of course, Scar would not go easy on him. He would always repeat that his people's elderly could fight just as well as he in their old ages. Weyland never backed down though; he pushed through the pain and agony, training harder and harder every day.

Every day, Scar would check the screens in the basement, which Scar eventually told them was his trophy room. He searched the area via the screens; he also said that he set up security cameras around the vicinity, to keep watch on anything that seemed like the kainde amedha group. After they attacked Lex's town, the kainde amedha headed away from their location, came back to the town, and were on their way to arriving at Scar's domain.

Lex had convinced Scar to make Weyland a set of awu'asa, and Scar reluctantly followed her orders, but he'd only had enough time to make a chest plate. Weyland assured Lex that was all the armor he would need. Scar managed to remove a communicator from one of his old masks and made a head-set for Weyland to wear since he did not have the proper time to craft an entire mask.

oOoOoOoOoOo

Lex awoke with a jolt, and she quickly sat up in the bed. Warm arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into a rock-hard chest. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." A masculine voice whispered into her ear.

Lex smiled and closed her eyes, leaning into the warm body, "That's alright Scar, I was never a deep sleeper."

The being shifted beneath her, "Huh? Who is this Scar, Alexa? It's me, your husband, Sebastian!"

The brunette opened her eyes in shock, turning her head to see there was no mottled green-yellow skin under her, no impossibly large muscled body. She lifted her head to see the face of the person, and found no sharp mandibles, no long sensitive dreadlocks that begged to be tugged on, and no sexy deep set amber orbs that stared into her soul.

Instead, she in fact saw Sebastian's ugly mug.

She screamed.

"Lex!" Scar shook her body violently, trying to wake her from her stupor. She shot up as her eyes flew open to see Scar staring at her concernedly.

"Lex, are you alright? You were screaming in your sleep…" He trailed off with a hint of worry in his voice.

She gasped, "Yes…yes I am fine. I just had a nightmare." She shuddered. "A very bad nightmare."

"What about?"

"I was married to Sebastian." She gagged as the words came out of her mouth.

Scar chuckled, "Is that all?"

"Yes! It was terrifying because I wasn't with you!" She punched his arm playfully.

Scar kissed her forehead, "Well, it was just a dream. I'm right here." Lex sat herself in Scar's lap, and he let a purr rumble through his chest.

The duo continued to sit in silence for another Scar rose from the bed, "I need to check the scanners." He stepped over to the windows, opening the curtains and letting the light flood inside.

Lex grinned, "I guess we overslept. It's noon."

"We've been training non-stop. You coming?" Scar stood by the door, waiting for Lex.

Lex nodded, leaping up from the bed and tripped over the tangled sheets on the floor. "Oof!" She yelled before Scar swiftly caught her in his arms.

Scar smirked down at her, "You're welcome."

Lex stuck her tongue out at him. He quickly moved Lex's position from in his arms to hanging over his shoulder. She pounded on his back, demanding that he release her, but the demands were ignored. They exited the bedroom, walking down the hall. Weyland was coming up the stairs as they were going down them. He was sweaty and fatigued, suggesting he'd just finished training, and he noticed Lex's being on Scar's shoulder.

"I won't ask." He said simply.

Lex gave him thumbs up, "Good plan."

Scar continued his leisurely walk down the flight of stairs and down again the basement stairs into his trophy room. He stopped at the large wall with the bevy of screens on it. He then began pushing numerous buttons which Lex never could move her eyes fast enough to see which ones he was pushing. The screens changed to show thermal and geographic scans of the area. Scar thoroughly checked them, making sure he missed nothing. Nothing was spotted and he was about to turn the screens off when Lex interjected.

"What if they're underground? You know it's possible they don't like the cold."

"During my kainde amedha chiva-"

She cut him off, "Yes, I know. The Antarctic. Freezing your ass off cold, I know. But in the chamber where the queen was it's possible that there was heat in there. You never saw the queen until she was above the ground."

Scar studied the screens with scrutiny. Lex was right; it was possible that the kainde amedha were traveling underground to avoid detection. But that was so unlike them. They lived for surprise, but complete surprise was different. The queen never deviated from the norm, unless the queen was not present. Disregarding his thoughts, he accounted for their travel and estimated the arrival.

"They will be here."

"Huh? Here? When, Scar?" Lex was undeniably nervous.

"Tonight. After the sun goes down."

Lex shrieked, "What? Are you serious? That's in like five hours, Scar! We need to train some more!"

Scar shook his head, "No. We need to conserve our strength."

"But Scar…we haven't been training nearly enough! I could-"

The predator roared, "I said no, Lex. We don't have time to train and then rest! I would rather you be at full strength and energy though weaker, than the opposite and a hindrance."

Lex sighed in defeat seeing his point, "Alright. Do you know how many there are?"

"No. It depends on how many eggs the queen has laid and how many are infected. I do not know if the queen is even alive. One of the superior males can become the queen and continue laying eggs, but it rarely happens. The one kainde amedha that escaped had more than likely infected numerous things before I killed it."

"So it doesn't have to be a human?"

"No. Of course not. They are able to impregnate anything that has a mouth, can give birth to live pups and moves around."

"That includes you doesn't it…" Lex whispered.

"Yes. I will be fine. I am wise enough to know to not let my guard down around kainde amedha."

She nodded silently, "So what do we do until then? What about Ripley, Newt and the others? Can they be affected? Can they die? Or fight? Should we hide them?"

Scar growled at the flurry of questions, "They will be fine. During the battle I will have them encased in a secured area that even I cannot break through. It is designed to release them when the computer determines all of the kainde amedha are deceased. No harm will come to them."

Lex smiled for this reassurance, "That's great! But you didn't answer the first one."

"We wait."

oOoOoOoOoOo

The hours passed as Lex and Scar sat on the balcony, watching the sun ever so slowly go down over the horizon. They sat in silence, warily thinking of the foreboding terror that was to arrive. It was quiet, Scar noted. It was always quiet before a large battle. Lex knew this too, but her knowledge was from movies.

Lex also knew that she would have to make a decision once the battle was over. Would she choose to stay here on Earth? Or would she go to some far off place away from her planet? She would live on another world, another galaxy, another universe even. She would have to have to learn all of the Yautjan ways of life, cultures and practices. Sure, Scar already taught her some, but she would need to study everything. But the other problem was if they would even accept her into their world. Yes, it was true she was involved with Scar and Scar was the only son of an Elder, but it could not even matter. Scar's task was only to fall in love with her. Not to introduce her to the clan. Scar obviously knew this. Was this the reason he would just accept to continue living on Earth? Was Scar accepting this fact because he loved her?

Lex decided to herself that today was the day. She knew today was the day that she was going to tell him, after the battle was over. It would be perfect; she could imagine it in her mind.

They stood together on the battlefield, where dead kainde amedha and humans lay, with Weyland and the others behind them in the distance. Sebastian and most of his crew were dead, the ones who didn't die ran away like cowards. The entirety of the kainde amedha group was eliminated and Scar made sure none were barely alive. Scar's muscled arms were wrapped around her in a tight embrace, thrilled she survived the war. Lex held herself as close to him as she could, her nails digging and gripping his scaled skin, nearly piercing it. He noticed but did not seem to care. Her mind was racing and her heart was pounding as she tugged his head down to her lips so she could say in a whispered voice… "Scar…-"

"Lex? Are you there?" Scar interrupted her thoughts, nudging her shoulder.

Lex jolted from her dream, "Huh? What?" She came back to her senses and stared at Scar, "What's up?"

"The kainde amedha are arriving. The scanners also sense a large group of beings coming this way as well."

The brunette scowled, "It's probably Sebastian. He more than likely rounded up people to come and 'rescue me'. I don't need rescuing and especially not from that sexist, heartless pig!"

Scar could sense Lex getting riled up over this Sebastian person and laid his hand on her shoulder. Lex in return placed hers over his and smiled. "Sorry…I know…stay calm. I can't lose my focus at a time like this."

He nodded and pulled on her hand to make her follow him. "I'm going to go put the others in the contained area, hurry and go change into your awu'asa. I will be there shortly. Put your mask on first and immediately activate the communicator. If you need my help I need to be able to hear you."

"Got it." Lex turned and ran up the stairs. She dashed along the hallway, wrenched open the door to their bedroom and stopped before her armor. Every time she looked at it, it was more beautifully crafted than it was the last time she stared. Scar truly had a gift for creating armor. She placed her mask over her face and engaged the communicator, just as Scar told her.

"Scar, do you read me?"

Scar's response was quick, "Yes, Lex. I read you. I am on my way."

Lex continued putting on the rest of her awu'asa and stared at herself in the mirror in the bathroom. Her reflection was different from whom she was months ago. After tonight, she would change even further. Scar entered the bathroom, towering over her. "You look like a true warrior."

Lex gave a half smile, letting her worries take over. "What if the clan won't like me?"

"I don't care what they think." Lex smiled at this comment but it didn't cease her concerns.

"What about your father?"

"I have proven myself in my task. It will be enough."

Lex leaned against the wall and crumpled into a ball on the floor. She sighed loudly, cradling her head in her arms. Scar crouched down next to her, not knowing what to say. In another moment, Weyland appeared in the doorway dressed in his armor, "Everything okay in here?" Scar shook his head and stepped out of the room so Weyland and Lex could have a father-daughter chat.

Weyland kneeled on the ground next to Lex, "Lex what's wrong?" The brunette was silent, keeping her head in her arms. "Alexa…" Weyland warned.

Lex gave an agitated growl, "What?"

"What's going on? Why are you in this mood? You need to be focused on the battle that is coming."

"I know! I'm just confused. I don't know what to do!"

Weyland quirked an eyebrow, "You fight?"

Lex knew her father was being sarcastic from his tone, "Ha ha, very funny. I mean with after the battle."

"We celebrate, Lex. What don't you understand?"

"Don't you remember what we were fighting about when Scar brought you here?" She paused and sighed. "When the time comes Scar needs to know if I'm going with him to his world or if I'm staying here. Scar is willing to stay here with me and I'm grateful for that…but I can't help but wonder what his world is like. What it's truly like. I want to learn more than he's taught me. I want to meet his father…I want to meet the rest of his clan, whether or not they like me because I'm an ooman. I want to explore! I want so much more than just living here in our town or here in this castle. I want adventure, where there's danger awaiting me to defeat it! I want-"

Weyland cut his daughter off, "You want a lot of things, Lex. We all do. All I want is for you to be happy. If Scar makes you happy, then so be it." He pulled Lex to her feet and embraced her. "No matter how far away you are, you will always be my sweet beautiful daughter, Alexa."

Lex was fighting back tears in her father's arms, "Are you sure? I don't want to leave you behind…"

"If you really want this old man to come with you, you can ask Scar to ask his father. But right now, you need to focus." Weyland wiped away some of Lex's runaway tears and smiled at her.

The heartfelt moment between the two was suddenly interrupted when a loud roar and an ear-splitting screech came from the other room. "Scar!" Lex ran out of the room to see Scar engaged in battle with a kainde amedha. Scar was on the ground with the kainde amedha on top of him, tail lashing out to strike. The xenomorph was about to attack when Scar threw it off of him against the wall. The predator reached for his chakt-ra and chucked it at the xenomorph, slicing the monster's head clean off. The severed head fell to the ground with a thump and Scar took no haste in opening a vial with a blue substance in it, poured it over the head, and waited for the liquid to dissolve the head until there was no more. Scar then walked over to Lex and Weyland, placing vials of the substance he just used in their hands. "Just to make sure they do not come back for a surprise." He explained.

Lex was about to check Scar for wounds, reaching her hand out to him, but he swatted her hand away. From behind his mask she knew the look he was giving her. It was not the time, nor did he need her help. When it came to things like this, Scar was always serious and Lex had almost forgotten that. It was one of the things she was going to have to get used to.

"We will stick together. They will over power us by numbers. If we are there to watch each other's backs it should be no problem. Do not go off on your own. They will notice and then you will be…how do you oomans say…shit out of luck?"

Lex snorted at his use of Earthling slang, "Yes, Scar that is the correct saying and okay, we won't split up and go off on our own. Right, dad?" Lex gave Weyland a look.

Weyland held his hands up, "What? Why do you assume I would do that?" He smirked.

"Seriously, dad. No screwing around." Lex said sternly.

"Alright, alright. Just trying to break up the tension is all."

Scar growled, "We don't have time for that. The kainde amedha are upon us and we must focus! Make sure your communicators are on in case we are separated. Do not leave the castle. It will mean open game. Lex, this Sebastian person is arriving with his comrades."

Lex scowled and changed the view on her mask, seeing it was true. "Oh, goody. Let's go greet him, shall we?" She gave a sly smile.

The trio ran down the hall, Scar was in the lead; following was Lex and Weyland bringing up the rear. They came across numerous xenomorphs but they were easily defeated. Scar killed three, Lex killed two, and Weyland had managed to finish off one that Scar had begun to fight. They reached the front door just as Sebastian and his men threw it open.

Sebastian was in shock at first, but his face reverted back to its usual smirk, "Well, well. Look what we have here, Thomas. It's the traitor Weyland. A disgusting alien...and what I've been searching for…my wife." Lex took a subconscious step toward Scar.

"The deal is off, Sebastian. I found Lex on my own. I didn't need your help."

"I don't think so. Lex will be my wife. Whether I have your permission or not." He sneered.

Scar growled, standing at his full height and towering over Sebastian. "You will do nothing with Lex."

"Is this the thing you've been hanging around Alexa? It's hideous! How could you stand being with it! I'll save you from the misery and kill it now."

"No you won't Sebastian! Scar is not hideous. He's not anything you think he is. You don't know him like I do, and further more you don't know me to understand anything about me." Lex retorted.

Sebastian was slowly piecing together things in his mind. The way that creature stood over Lex protectively, the way she spoke defensively of the alien. Weyland's disappearance for a month and now on Lex's side, fighting against him. No. It couldn't be. She…with that…that thing? Inconceivable! It couldn't be true! It couldn't be true that his Alexa was with that monstrous, disgusting, make-every-one-around-him-jealous sculpted bodied alien!

"Alexa! Don't…tell me you…with…him?"

"I'm sorry what? I don't understand babbling douche bag."

Sebastian was silent for a moment, regaining his composure, "Lex…please. Tell me you aren't with that…that alien!"

"I am." She smirked, seeing her response throwing him off balance. "There's nothing you can do about it, and nothing you can do to change my mind."

A scream of terror erupted through the halls of the castle, shocking everyone. Sebastian's men ran through the doors, absolutely terrified. The trio and Sebastian stared out the doors, trying to see what they were running from. As the sun had set, a deep fog rolled in, which constricted their view. Suddenly, a shadow of a single xenomorph formed in the fog. Then another one appeared on its left. Another one was flanking its right. This continued until there were about ten in the shadows. Then, with no warning they all leaped at the group.

Weyland grabbed Lex aside from the madness, into a side room. "Lex, Scar is missing."

She nodded, "I know, I saw. Sebastian is gone as well. They probably went somewhere to duel."

"They headed for the roofs. Up on one of the balconies I believe."

Lex and Weyland whipped around to see Thomas standing before them, silently closing the door. He held his rifle over his chest and he looked absolutely terrified. "Sebastian said it would be like this…but this…oh god, this is just insanity! I can't…I can't do this. I want to live…you guys have to help me. You've been around that alien, he must know about them which means you do. How do we defeat them?" Thomas was trembling in fear, barely able to stand.

Lex was sympathetic, placing her hand on his shoulder. "There really is no sure fire way to defeat them. You just attack. They don't really have a weakness."

"We're screwed aren't we?"

"No. We're going to survive this. I'll be damned if I die here tonight." Lex unsheathed her ki'cti-pa as Weyland took out his own sword that he'd brought with him from home. Thomas gulped, took a deep breath and opened the door from whence they came.

oOoOoOoOoOo

It was dark outside. The clouds were dark and the fog was so thick it was barely visible. Sebastian could barely see the disgusting alien that stood on the other side of the balcony across from him. Sebastian had told the alien that since it was his turf, he should get to choose where they battled. He easily chose the balcony. All Sebastian had to do was knock the alien off of the balcony and into the darkness below. Alexa would be his.

"Shall I make the first move or did you want to? Either way you're going to lose. Alexa is mine!"

Scar gave a growling laugh, "You're so ignorantly blind. In fact, you're so blind that you didn't even notice me move."

Sebastian gasped and frantically looked around for the creature. Forward, side to side, up and down, behind him! Sebastian turned around, and there was Scar, looking down at him. "You are one pathetic ooman." He sneered.

"It's your move." Sebastian stood on the ground, frozen in place. He was paralyzed in shock. He didn't even see him move. He didn't even hear him move. Sebastian's breath came out in hitches, he couldn't think, he couldn't speak, he couldn't breathe. The alien's movement was unforeseeable and unheard of. "If you're not going to move, then I will." Sebastian barely comprehended what he heard before he was kneed in the gut and sent reeling to the balcony floor.

Scar knelt down on one knee, "Just so you know; I'm barely using any of my strength." Sebastian coughed loudly, and threw up blood. He put both hands flat on the ground to stabilize himself.

"Lex will never care for you…she's just using you to survive this attack…" Sebastian slowly managed to say.

"I'd rather it be that way than her care for you. And I know she doesn't give a c'jit about you. She could care less if I snapped your tiny neck right now." Scar grasped Sebastian's neck and held him up to his eye-level. Sebastian struggled in Scar's grip, trying to wrench himself free. The predator's grip only tightened in warning. "Try as you might, but it's all in vain, little ooman."

"How do you know Lex isn't running away with her father right now? She's probably leaving you to die in this interspecies war."

Scar hissed, "No, she isn't. She is fighting like I taught her. She wouldn't betray me."

Sebastian laughed, "Are you sure? I'm sure that you have different customs than we do, and somewhere along the lines things got misconstrued. She doesn't want you, she's only using you. You're just a pawn in her game." The human saw how the predator's stance changed at his words. "Did you actually think she cared? Did you actually think she loved you?"

"You are lying. I know Lex cares. She told me."

"She's lying. Let me tell you a little thing about Earth women. They lie to you. Quite a bit, actually. They lie to get their way, to get your money. It's all a game to them. She doesn't care for you and she certainly doesn't love you."

Scar roared further tightening his grip, "Be quiet, you miserable s'yuit-de!"

Sebastian gasped, "Make me."

The predator was about to finish Sebastian off when he was suddenly knocked to the ground. Sebastian was thrown out of his grip and slammed into the balcony railing, landing with a pained yell. Scar quickly jumped up and saw a xenomorph before him. The xenomorph hissed, its tail lashing and its teeth were bared. Scar roared in response to the challenge. He stood with his feet apart and back arched, ready for attack. It leaped at Scar latching itself onto his shoulders, claws digging into the armor. Scar grabbed the other alien by the tail, using his weight to hurl the xenomorph at the wall. It crashed, leaving an indentation, but it quickly recovered. Scar rushed his opponent into the wall repeatedly, until it didn't screech in pain. Scar quickly unsheathed his dah'kte, slicing the head off. Scar then turned to see Sebastian covered in the kainde amedha, screaming for help. Their eyes met and Sebastian pleaded Scar to assist him. Scar smirked and walked away. One final yell was heard till there was no more.

The predator raced down the halls, ignoring all of the shrieks and screams. He was only searching for two voices. One familiar voice cried out in agony from one of the bedrooms. "C'jit!" Scar growled, pushing the door open, running toward the sound.

"Dad, no!" He heard Lex yell.

Scar rounded the corner to see Lex leaning over Weyland in the bathroom. Tear were flowing down cheeks as she cried into his chest. "What happened?" Scar asked.

Lex looked up to see Scar and leaped up to hug him. "A kainde amedha came from the shadows and attacked my dad. Thomas is fighting it right now…" As if on cue, Thomas appeared behind Scar, covered in his own blood.

"Killed it…" He choked out.

Scar picked up Weyland, carrying over to the bed, laying him in it. He did a quick scan of the body. There was no xenomorph waiting to burst out, but the damage was too great. He would not survive. It was possible to heal him if they weren't in the middle of a war, but not here and not now.

Lex continued sobbing into Weyland's chest. "It's my fault! I should've…I should've been watching him more carefully!" She wiped away her tears briefly, "Scar, is there anything you can do?"

Scar's eyes met Weyland's. Scar's serious stare needn't tell Weyland more. The xenomorph punched a hole in his shoulder and left claw indentations on his stomach where he bled out. His death was inevitable.

"Lex…Alexa, my daughter…" Weyland gasped, his breath was short and frantic.

Lex's head shot up, "Yes…I'm here dad!"

Weyland inhaled sharply, "Lex, everything I've done I did it for you, even if the outcome was horrible. You have grown into such a beautiful young woman, my daughter." He turned to Scar, "Please…Scar…take good care of her."

"I will." Scar placed his hand on Weyland's arm in regard and then kneeled so Weyland could do the same.

"Lex…I wish I could have fought better for you…I wish I could protect you, but I trust Scar will keep you safe." He paused and gave a hacking cough, spewing his blood. "Alexa…always remember this…you will always be my sweet, beautiful daughter…no matter how far away Scar takes you. I love you, sweetheart…"

"I love you too, daddy…"

Weyland took one last breath, "Make those other Yautja jealous. Make me proud..." Weyland gasped and uttered a pained cry. Seconds later his eyes closed and his chest stopped rising.

Lex gave her father one last hug and kissed his forehead. "I will. I promise." She rose from her position to wipe away the last of her tears. Scar wrapped his arm gently around her waist comfortingly.

Thomas touched her arm ever so lightly, "I'm sorry for your loss. This would have never happened if it weren't for Sebastian."

"Sebastian is dead." Scar stated simply. "Eaten by kainde amedha."

Lex was glad for this fact, but it was not enough to stop the thoughts of her father's death. Scar tugged on her arm, "We must go. We cannot stay in one place." The brunette took one last look at her father and ran out of the room. Scar and Thomas followed her, going wherever she went.

A shrieking alarm burst through the screams and screeches within the castle, shocking Lex and Thomas to a stop. Scar's mind raced as he kept running, knowing what happened. "Do not stop! Lex we must go to the kehrite!"

"What, why?"

"Castle is going to explode! I am not leaving without my weapons!"

"What about the others?"

"They are all in there. Now hurry up!"

They jogged down the halls to the kehrite. Scar opened it with speed unlike any other time before. He rushed over to a case where the objects were. He put in a number of codes that opened it.

"Hey! What the hell is going on?" Verheiden yelled panicking.

"The castle is going to explode. We need you all to run as fast as you can!" Lex explained, helping them all out. Thomas was stunned at the sight, "I should ask, but now isn't the best time." The objects took to Lex's command and exited the kehrite as fast as they could, heading for the front doors.

Scar was ripping all of his remaining weapons from their spots; giving the ones he had no space for to Lex. "We have five minutes to get as far away as possible." Scar told Thomas and Lex while taking off in a sprint. Thomas ran like a mad-man, arms waving and screaming. Lex held back a laugh and was bringing up the rear.

The group quickly caught up to the objects whom were in the process of getting out the door. The alarm began to blare at a faster pace, indicating the impending explosion was arriving. Scar pushed them all out of the way, chucking them across the bridge, safely on the other side of the river. Scar stopped halfway across the bridge to pull of his wrist computer.

"Scar, what are you doing? We have to go!"

Thomas glanced back but continued running, helping the objects to their feet and move further away. Scar pushed multiple buttons before tossing the computer into the river below. It beeped rapidly, sinking to the bottom.

"My presence cannot be known. The water will make the blast less destructive, but it will still destroy the castle and everything inside it completely." He grabbed Lex and pulled her along.

The duo went as fast as they could for the next few moments, catching the others at the top of a hill. A hissing noise emitted over the hills as a blinding flash of light illuminated the sky. Another flash appeared, but this one was blue. The castle exploded violently as Scar told them all to duck and cover themselves from debris. Pieces of the castle landed all around them in crashes and bangs. Lex screamed as a block of concrete fell onto her back, wincing in pain. Scar moved Lex underneath him so that she was facing his chest. Lex could tell from behind his mask he was giving her a suggestive look. She smirked, smiling flirtatiously. Lex suddenly realized this was not exactly how she had imagined it, but it was almost the same. If she didn't do it now, she might not get the chance.

Lex reached up and removed the cords attached to his mask and then the mask itself. Scar stared at her with a confused look in his amber eyes. She gazed deep into his eyes while they bore back into her chocolate brown ones. Lex took a deep breath, "Scar…mi'zhade…"

Scar was taken aback by Lex's words. Did she really just say that? How did she find out about that? He didn't remember putting that phrase into her communicator's dictionary! Those words were so infrequently used that Scar had almost forgotten they existed, but Scar knew in his heart that he felt the same way she did. "Mi'zhade, Lex." He nuzzled his mandibles into her hair, breathing in her sweet scent.

Moments later the sound of explosion ceased and only the rubble was left. The group stood and gaped at the destruction that was left behind, staring in awe. Then they turned and celebrated heartily, thanking the gods it was over. Scar was the only one who did not celebrate as he was looking up into the sky. Lex poked him, "What are you staring at?"

"My father is here."

Lex was completely dumbstruck, her mouth was dry and her limbs were stiff. She was about to meet Scar's father. The being that sent Scar to her in the first place. The reason any of the past months' events had occurred. She didn't know whether to be excited or terrified. "…You're kidding…right?"

"No."

"Wh-where is he?"

"He is on the ship. It is cloaked so you can't see it. It is landing in the clearing over there."

"Uh…I…I don't think I can do this."

"Why not? It's just my father." Scar chuckled, "And a few other clan members."

Thomas interrupted their conversation, "Um…hey guys I don't want to bug you but we have company."

Scar and Lex turned to where Thomas was referring and saw multiple Yautja standing before them. The one in front, Lex immediately knew was Scar's father. He had a regal stature about him, carrying his mask with their clan symbol marked on it between his arms. He had more bristles on his forehead than Scar did which suggested they represented age. He was at least a foot and a half taller than Scar and his armor was the same, although Scar personalized his. Scar's father had a long flowing crimson cape that fell to the backs of his knees.

He took a step forward as did Scar, waiting for his father to move first as it was proper custom to let your superior do so. His father laid his palm over his Scar's shoulder and the gesture was returned. "It is nice to see you, father."

"Indeed, it is my son."

"Why have you arrived on the planet?" Scar inquired, not wanting to involve Lex yet.

"I've been watching over you for the past month, your trial's end date was soon. We saw the explosion and came to investigate. I find you, this ooman, ooman house hold items that can speak, and this…woman."

Lex flinched, his words did not sound pleasant at all. Scar motioned for her to come to his side. She slowly walked over and Scar instantly slipped his arm around her waist. "Father, this is the woman I have completed my task with."

When neither Lex nor his father said anything, Scar nudged her forward, and shot her an expectant look. "Huh? Oh, oh! Hello, my name is Alexa…Lex for short. It's nice to meet you, Elder Swift."

Swift nodded, "The greetings are returned, little ooman. So…you are the earthling that my son has taken a liking to."

"Sei-i, that's me."

Swift was shocked, "Well, well my son, you've taught her some Yautjan?"

"Sei-i, father, she wanted to learn and it brought us closer together."

"That is…quite interesting. Well, by all means, you have completed your task. You are permitted re-entry into the clan, Scar." Swift's mandibles formed into a smile. "Come. We must leave now. Surely the other oomans will have heard the explosion and will come to investigate." The elder turned back around and headed for whence they came, but stopped when he noticed Scar was not following.

Swift growled, "I said 'come', Scar. Leave the ooman behind. Kill her and the male." Thomas yelped out in surprise.

Scar hissed and hid Lex behind him, "I will do no such thing. Lex wishes to come with us."

"The ooman wants to be a part of the clan? That's hilarious!" Swift laughed heartily.

"Father, she's learned the ways of our people! I taught her our cultures, our language! Ones who learn these things can never return to their old lives! You told me that! Lex has killed at least ten kainde amedha, which is equal to the kainde amedha chiva. She has proved herself worthy. I deemed her worthy enough to learn!"

Swift roared, "Be quiet, Scar! I will have no more of this. She is not coming!"

Lex saw that things were about to seriously go down the shitter. Scar and his father were glaring at each other, mandibles flared and Scar was about to arch his back in anger. She knew she was absolutely crazy for coming between two feuding Yautja, but it had to be done. She stomped her way in between them putting her palms on either side of her, touching both of their chests. Swift stiffened immediately and barked out, "You have quite the gall to touch me, ooman."

She faced Swift and stared him straight in the face, "Elder Swift, please…give me a chance to prove myself. Scar sees potential in me. Don't throw away a chance to view my prowess for yourself. If I am deemed unworthy of joining the clan, then you can do away with me however you please. Just one opportunity is all I ask."

Swift growled low and angrily paced back and forth. He continued for a few moments and stood before Scar and Lex. "You have my permission to board the ship. But do not think that the other clan members will accept you easily. You will not be treated with the same respect as Scar gives you. Mark my words."

Swift pushed a button on his wrist computer and the massive ship they were to board de-cloaked in front of them. The other Yautja went inside and Swift walked up the ramp, stopping outside of the entryway, waiting for Scar and Lex. Lex quickly bid Thomas and the objects well. She asked Thomas to take care of the objects. Scar silently led her up the ramp. Lex wanted to look back and wave goodbye, but she feared she'd have second thoughts. The three of them stood in the arched doorway as it began to slowly close. The door slammed shut as Scar and Lex's fate were sealed, unknowing about the future to come.

The end!
