"DON'T!" RedBear grabbed the bow out of his hand. "You'll put a hole in the ship you idiot." RedBear made the bow disappear. "Now don't be stupid."

Lilly kept her eyes on the window of the ship, carefully navigating around small clusters of meteorites, "Can you guys keep it down back there? I need to concentrate. Or just go somewhere else on the ship. There's more than just this room, you know?"

"My apologies." RedBear walked out of the room and into the drop room, then he found the xeno scratching acid. "THAT THINGS GOING TO PUT A HOLE IN THE HULL!" RedBear yelled as he ran at it and tackled it, the acid blood dripping on it. "AAAAGGH!" He screamed in pain. "OPEN THE DROP DOOR!" He yelled towards Lilly.

Lilly immediately followed his orders, the drop door pushing itself open, squealing in protest. She prayed for his safety.

"Stay safe, and make it out of here for me... goodbye." RedBear then hurled himself and the xeno out. As they hurdled back down towards the planet they caught fire but he had something else he had, he had a xenomorph queen chestburster in his arms. "No more."

"Hold on," Lilly said, switching it to autopilot. She lept out of her seat and stood at the edge of the door, though she was too late to catch him. "RedBear!" she screamed, falling to her knees. She laid on her stomach, her arm dangling off, almost like she thought she could still grab him. "No!"

RedBear looked up and his heart pumped when he thought of Lilly. "She..." RedBear entered the atmosphere as he caught ablaze. "She'll make it at least." Then he hit the ground leaving a deep round crater. Then came that feeling in his chest. "Lilly!" He said into his ear piece. "Ohh..yeah." When he tried to teleport his...everything burned. Then he saw it, a facehugger coming towards him. When he tried to move he fell over and couldn't move. "Crap."

Lilly cried out once more for him, both arms dangling off the ship. "Red," she muttered, sitting up on her knees. Her father had salvaged the parachutes for his journey, so she couldn't of taken those, and she was hopeless.

She stood up, her face flaming scarlet, and slumped her way into the head of the shuttle. Lilly didn't think twice when she swerved the ship around and headed toward where he fell, determined to get her friend back. "Hold on. I'm coming," she said into the earpiece, though she wasn't sure if he could hear her or not.

Silver stood at the edge of the door with his bow drawn "kreenholo lu kreensaleet!" He fired the arrow and it stabbed into the ground and spirit wolves stood over RedBear "HES THERE!" He pointed at the wolves "FOLLOW THE WOLVES!"

Lilly nodded in his directions, swinging the ship at a downward angle, following the wolves. "Make sure there are no creatures around him," she ordered, determination clear on her face.

RedBear saw the ship. "Why?" He said under his breath. Then he looked back up the facehugger. But it was gone. Then he noticed the wolves. Maybe those scared it off. Then he tried to stand up again but failed. But nothing was broken...hopefully.

Lilly landed the ship and opened the door, signaling for Silver to help him inside.

He looked at Lilly and smiled but the pain made it fade. "Why? Why come back for me? You were so close to making it off this planet." RedBear said through the ear piece which miraculously survived. Then he used his energy to cool the crater so no one would get burnt.

From the distance a cloaked 'creature' was watching them from the distance. He typed into his wrist gauntlet and sent a message to all the rest of the 'creatures'. It then roared and left.

"I'd rather have all of us alive here then one of us having the danger of dying while the other two leave," Lilly replied through her earpiece, never taking her eyes off of him.

She then got up and grabbed his arm gently, pulling him up to stand, and carried him inside. She handed him a first-aid kit and headed back to the main room.

"Do you have the fuel to make it back up there?" RedBear grunted at the pain. "What if we can't find any more fuel? You and him were so close to escaping."
