-------------------------------
Chapter 2:

Lex saw his arm arc up and prepared for her inevitable death. ‘Is this how I’m goin’ to die?’ she thought to herself. ‘by this big bastard’.
He brought his arm down, ready to kill her. But only seemed to have hit stone. Lex had moved her head to side to avoid the razor sharp point of the blade.
He got pissed. Here he could kill hard meats with ease, but here… he couldn’t even kill one difficult ooman. His mandibles clicked in annoyance as his prey was being so damn stubborn.
Lex felt his weight shift just slightly and took the chance. She managed to get one of her legs free, then wrapped it around his left leg causing him fall backwards on his back. In the process the knife was knocked out of his grasp. Lex reversed the positions so that she was on top not giving him the chance to recover. She grabbed the knife that had fallen out of his hand and instantly put it at his throat.
He was stock still not moving. He was too dumbfounded and surprised that a simple ooman had turned his own attack against him. Not only was he surprised he was pissed that he allowed it to happen.
“If you don’t kill me I won’t I’ll let you free. You are a worthy, honorable opponent”. He said in english.
Lex was struck dumb and a little confused. How could something not of this world speak in plain english? She didn’t know she was just very overwhelmed by her pinning him and him speaking english. “How will I know you won’t kill after I let you up, huh?” Lex asked incredulously.
“I’ll give you my word” he said benevolently.
“And what is your word worth?” she asked in the same tone.
“Just let me up and you’ll see”.
Lex contemplated on whether to let this creature up where then he would probably kill her or stay in the suggestive position they were in with the knife still at his throat or kill him right off the bat.
Lex decided to let him up, she still held the knife to his throat. “See, I told you I wouldn’t kill you” he said to her. “Well I’m still not takin’ any chances” Lex retorted. He sighed exasperated. “Fine, if it would help you calm down, my name is Scar” he said gently tilting his to the side wondering what her next move was going to be.
“M...my..my name’s Alexa Woods, Lex for short” she managed to stutter out in reply.
“I no longer have a qualm with you, so please take the knife off of my throat” Scar said calmly. Lex hesitantly lowered the knife away from Scar’s throat and took a step back from him. He proceeded to take a step towards her. They continued this little game of cat and mouse until Lex’s felt her back come against the wall. Where he brought his face just inches from hers. Lex started to breathe a little faster. She was minutely claustrophobic and hated being cornered.
What’s wrong?” Scar purred out. He really didn’t know what was wrong with and tilted his head to the side and clicked his mandibles in interested confusion.
Lex stared at his impassive mask; at how she could see her reflection in it. Then something caught her eye. It was shiny and jet black with a spear tipped tale.
‘Shit, not again’ Lex thought. Scar sensed the kainde amedha way before she even saw it. The hard meat crawled on the ceiling above Scar and lunged at him. Scar twisted around with speed unmatched. He aimed his cannon at the hard meat and fired. Missed. He fired again and hit the hard meat in the leg. The alien screamed in agony and anger as acidic blood spewed everywhere. Some blood got on Scar’s silver like armor. Scar roared and ripped off the burning armor before the acid could get to his skin.
Scar picked up his spear that was lying not too far from him and flicked his thumb causing it to elongate. Scar arced his arm and drove his spear into the kainde amedha’s thick skull. It squealed in pain before falling limp to the cold unforgiving stone ground. Scar roared his victory before walking up to the hard meat and started to dismember it.
“What the hell are you doin’” Lex asked in digust. “What does it look like ooman?” he retorted back. “I was just asking you asshole!!” she yelled at him. Scar got up and started to storm towards her as she started to back up against the wall thinking that wasn’t a good idea to yell at him. He shot his hand out and grabbed her by her parka lifting her to eye level with him. Lex started to squirm and kick to get herself. She dare not kick him in the nuts again for fear of what he might do to her if she did.
“Put me down you son of a…” She was cut short when she heard screeches coming from the corridor. Six more hard meats were coming at them and fast. Scar dropped Lex and pivoted on his heels and spun around with inhuman speed. He aimed his cannon and fired hitting one as it dropped to the ground dead. He shot a few more times and killed four more. But when he shot again the one hard meat that was still standing dodged the shot. This kainde amedha was bigger and older than its brethren and had a piss coloured grid pattern on its head from a net gun. Scar instantly knew that this particular hard meat had run into one of his comrades and won the battle. He knew that his comrade had died an honorable yautja death. But the thought of his friend dead unlocked the rage inside of him. He roared loud enough that it shook the pyramid. Lex had to cover her ears to protect them.
Scar raced forward to the hard meat clashing into it full force and knocking it into a pillar. The pillar shattered from the force of the blow. The hard meat fell to the ground and struggled to get up. But Scar didn’t allow him the privilege. He took the hard meat be the tail and swung as hard as he could then let go. The kainde amedha shrieked as it flew threw the air hitting the far side of the corridor hard. Scar sprinted and reached the hard meat as it got up. He tensed his muscles and his wrist blades extended and he swung, but the hard meat was a little too fast and dodged Scar’s efforts. (You little piece of shit!) Scar swore in his language as the hard meat knocked him down and jumped on him pinning him to the ground.
Lex all the while was flabbergasted at the whole scene that had unfolded before her. It had happened so damn fast she could hardly keep up with the fight. She saw that the spear had fallen from Scar’s hands, so she bent down and picked it up. There was a fire inside her that was willing her to live to survive this ordeal. There was a sudden urge and fire in her eyes as she charged forth with a battle cry that matched Scar’s.
Scar looked up from his position on the ground and saw the soft meat heading towards his location as he heard the cry. ‘What the fuck is she doing?’ Scar thought. Suddenly, the hard meat that was on him was gone. She had rammed it in the chest. It shrieked in pain and anger. It swung its tail. Les saw the tail coming a little too late and it hit her full force. “Uhh” she cried out as she hit the wall hard on her back. Lex could feel her vision going dark and blurry. She reached with her hand behind her head and touched the spot the spot where her head had also hit the stone wall. She brought her hand back around and saw that a slick crimson liquid was on it. She instantly thought that then and there that she wasn’t going to survive, either from blood loss or by the kainde amedha.
Scar got up and took out his shuriken (the star blade thingy) and threw it at the hard meat. The hard meat turned around a little too late as the shuriken sliced threw its hand severing it. It squealed in even more pain. ‘Quit this foolishness and come back to me my offspring’ said the queen into the hard meat’s head. Instantly the hard meat bolted to a passage way and left. “Son of a bitch” Scar said. ‘Now where is that ooman?’ he thought to himself. He darted his head to the left at a sound his dreadlock like hair flying at the sudden movement. The ooman was lying on the ground eyes were half lidded and he could sense she was losing life blood fast. He walked menacingly slow over to her and bent down by her side. He took his finger and brushed hair away from her face. All the while purring in the process and not knowing he was doing it. The ooman was a true fighter she had a fiery soul that wanted to be protected at any cost. ‘She has guts’ Scar thought. “You are worthy and for that I will help you” he said to her. With those last words Lex gave in to the blackness of unconsciousness. Not knowing what he would do to her but also didn’t care. She oddly enough felt safe in his arms as he picked her up oh so carefully so that he wouldn’t further injure her. Scar didn’t know why, but he felt a nagging on the inside that told him this particular ooman was special very special. His felt something else close to a needing kind of feeling as this ooman snuggled into his chest for warmth. He couldn’t understand what it was or why he felt this way and clicked his mandibles in annoyance. He only understood that if he didn’t get her out of this area and to a safer place she would surely die. As he was about to leave he heard a deep rumbling sound coming form the pyramid. It was beginning to shift again and started to move. He quickly grabbed his knife and spear that the alien had pulled out of itself earlier and began running threw the narrowing corridor with the ooman called ‘Lex’ in his strong arms.
