Warrior of Darkness

Chapter 6


“That’s strange”

Jack Habonn looked over at his wife Holly with a questioning expression.

“What’s strange?”

“Remember that settler that didn’t want the shot this morning.”

“Yes I thought you went to talk with him.”

Holly looked at the computer screen as she talked. “I did and he said that it feels like something is crawling under his skin every time he takes the shot.”

“That’s absurd”

“I know but he was so adamant about it that I came back here and ran a sample of the serum through the computer.”

Jack came to stand beside his wife. “What the hell is that?”

Holly smiled at his unscientific response. “The computer says there is a foreign cell in the serum.”

Jack frowned. “Foreign? How did it get in there?”

“It cannot determine that but it somehow was placed there.”

Jack frantically ran his hands through his hair. “William is going to pop a vein if he finds out about this. Look I’ll take care of this.”

“You are going to go through the entire batch.”

“It is my department. Go get some rest for the bonfire tonight. I’ll be here for a while.”

Holly smiled and kissed his cheek. “Alright Jack but if you need help come and get me.”

He smiled as she walked out of the lab. Jack deleted the information on the screen. Jeremy crept into the lab looking around for his invisible enemy with his gun drawn.

Jack watched him. “Jeremy I assure you that none of the Ambassador’s associates are in here.”

Jeremy looked at the Doctor. “You don’t understand Lance said they could be anywhere undetected.”

Jack frowned at him. “Maybe you should not have put those chemicals in the clothing. You could have killed her.”

Jeremy turned quickly with his gun aimed as someone walked by the lab door.

Jack reached into his coat pocket for a hypodermic. “That was very stupid of you to try to harm her. She is a scientific marvel a product of two species that we need to explore.”

Jeremy looked at Jack. “He’s going to kill me.”

“Come here.”

The guard approached the doctor. Jack raised the needle.

Jeremy moved back. “What the fuck is that?”

“To help you calm down.”

Jeremy relaxed and Jack injected it into his shoulder. Jeremy felt a rush of heat and some pain.

“Is it supposed to hurt?”

Jack sighed. “It will wear off now go lay down in one of the beds in the ward before you kill someone.”

Jeremy held his shoulder and walked out of the lab.

Sudden pain in Jack’s head made the doctor hold onto the counter for support. He stayed there until the attack ended and then walked from the lab.


Alia had been standing there for fifteen minutes allowing the saliva to dry into hard mucus while Shadow watched her. Alia watched his hand touch her nipple to test the hardness of the mucus.

Alia moved away. “It’s dry.”
Shadow growled and touched her anyway.

Alia pushed his hand back and walked towards the lake. “I don’t want you think that you can touch me whenever you want.”

“Why not you told Ava you can not deny me your body.”

Alia turned to face him. He had removed his clothing.

“What are you doing?” She succeeded in not looking down to see what was jutting out at her.

“I have some on my body also.” He purred.

Alia stared at him. Shadow smiled and walked towards the lake.


Hara watched them from a distance Shadow towered over the female when she came to stand before him in the middle of the lake. She looked up at him speaking the Ooman language. Shadow was not listening to her though he was too busy scooping water up in his hand and letting it run down her body. Hara growled in anger. Shadow never paid her that kind of attention.


Alai gave up trying to deny what Ava said to him was not truth because he was not listening to her. She began to rub the warm water onto her body.

Shadow began to wet her hair. “Turn around.”

Alia turned and he slowly washed the mucus from her hair. Alia closed her eyes when he began gently rubbing her temples.

“Many females desire me Alia.” He growled lowly in her ear.

“Why aren’t you with them?”

“I don’t desire them.”

Alia felt his body press against hers. Her eyes flew open when something hard and very large touch her back. Shadow held her around the waist as he began to caress her breast.
Alia moaned and laid her head back on his chest. They heard a noise in the distance.
Rito stood at a tree not looking at them.

“The Oomans are here.”

Lance looked around at all the black creatures watching them and hissing at them through the flowers.

“Hey squirt why did he bring us here?”

Brian looked at Lance. “Because he hates you and he wants to punish me because I’m your friend.”

Lance smiled. “Oh yeah that’s right.”

Joshua kept his hand away from his gun as the creatures snapped their teeth at them.
Marla moved closer to the Captain when the creatures began to approach. Shadow, False and Kayco entered the garden. The other creatures moved back.

Lance noticed the water dripping from Shadow’s dreads. “I think he’s pissed that we interrupted his bath.”

Alia appeared at the other end of the garden walking towards them wearing a white bra like top and a long white skirt with a long slit down the front. She was armed they could see the strap on her thigh as she walked towards them.

Lance noticed her wet hair.

“We interrupted his bath with her.” He said to Brian.

Cal smiled at her. His eyes were on her bouncing breasts as she approached.

“Captain you do know it is dangerous to enter their territory.”

“We made as much noise as possible. We came to apologize for the incident this morning and to offer our Medic to make sure you are alright.”

Alia looked at Shadow he nodded.

“May we go inside?”


They walked into the medical room inside the Castle and were in awe of the technology inside. Brian looked at Sal’van standing two feet from him and growling as he began to scan Alia with the hand held scanner.

“Take it easy I’m not going to hurt her.”

Sal’van continued to growl at him.

Alia was looking at the scanner as he punched in a code.

Brian looked up at the tall woman. “He’s not very friendly.”

Alia looked at Sal’van then back at Brian. “He doesn’t like anyone touching me but himself.”

“Is he your boyfriend?”

Alia raised an eyebrow. “No.”

Brian chuckled at her horrified expression.

Lance moved next to the bed that Alia was sitting on.

“Big boy giving you problems Squirt.”

“I’m fine Lance. He’s just over protective.” Brian answered as he finished his exam.

Sal’van growled at Lance who was staring him down.

Rito and Myx grunted at the Ooman taunting Sal’van.

False looked at Shadow. “Is he well?”

“Which one are you calling not well?” He grunted at False who hissed in amusement.

Lance continued to stare down Sal’van even as he came closer. “You’re protecting your friend and so am I.”

Alia and Brian looked up at them.

“Corporal back down now.” Captain Winters said glaring at him.

“Can’t do that sir we protect ours remember.”

Sal’van pulled out his blade.

“Is all you got?” Lance yelled at him as Joshua and Brian pulled him back.

False grunted in amusement at the Ooman’s death wish.

“What is this called?” Alia asked Brian as the vehicle moved closer towards the Ooman settlement that was being illuminated by a huge fire.
“It’s a really big fire where they serve lots of food and get plastered.” Lance said to her from the front seat.
Brian chuckled as the turned the armor-encased vehicle into the settlement.


Jack stepped from the weeded area next to the waterfall as Hara approached in the moonlight.

“You are late.”
Hara growled. “Unlike you I can not just leave when I want.”

He could understand her because of the translator she had given him on their first meeting with False. Two years ago when they were on good terms with False and his clan Jack stumbled onto Monk’s lab underneath the castle and was impressed by his experiments. Hara had been Monk’s assistant knew the desire from the Ooman it was just like Monk’s and she decided he could continue with his experiments. She smuggled the Alien cells to him so he could continue Monk’s work.

Hara could barely make out his bodyline. “What’s wrong with you? You look different.”

“Give me the cells.” He growled at her.

Hara smelled his scent on the breeze. “You have not been injecting this into your body have you?”

Jack took a step closer. He was taller than she was now. She took a step back.

“Give me the cells.” His voice was grating.

“No. It was not intended for what you are doing with them.” Hara turned to leave and he ran at her and tackled her from behind. She fell to the ground under the weight of his body and struggled underneath him.

“You have worn out your usefulness.”

Hara started roaring as the claws on his hands dug into her face and pulled her head back. His mouth opened four times as large as humanly possible and swallowed Hara’s head muffling her roars. His teeth ripped through her neck spraying green blood everywhere. Her decapitated body fell back to the ground. Jack rolled her over, ripped open her chest, and broke through her ribs to remove the heart and lungs, which he consumed.

He moaned in pure bliss as the hot blood ran down his throat and out of his mouth. Jack pulled the vial from Hara's hand and threw her body into the river.

He licked all the blood from his face and headed back to the lab.
