Rage War Incursion 25

Hashori dropped Liliya and stepped forward to fight. The Xenomorph powered toward the Yautja, its clawed toes kicking up sparks from the floor. Hashori's shoulder blaster fired and the beast jigged sideways, the blast impacting the wall thirty yards beyond. Hashori crouched and fired again, angling the shot upward this time. She missed a second time, but the blast struck the ceiling just behind the charging monster, bringing down a rain of metal and molten parts.

One chunk of material struck its tail and it slowed, only a little but enough for Hashori to leap to her right, swinging her pike around in a powerful arc. The Xenomorph ducked to avoid the blow, but Hashori unleashed another fusillade of blasts from her shoulder cannon, striking the creature's abdomen and legs. One limb ricocheted back along the corridor. The creature screeched and thrashed, splashing its acidic blood. Hashori growled and fell back, scrabbling at her mask where it smoked and ran from the acid's destructive puch. Liliya also saw speckles of bubbling skin across her throat and shoulder, and her body armor was distorted.

Then it leapt, wider jaw opening to reveal the deadlier, slicker mouth inside. Hashori grabbed its tail and, using its own momentum, swung it sideways into the wall. It struck hard and thrashed around, finding its remaining feet again quickly and leaving melting patches across the floor. As it tensed for another spring forward, Hashori jumped across the corridor and pinned it to the wall with
her pike. The Xenomorph screeched. The pike had pierced its body behind and below its arced head, and already its blood was melting the impeding weapon. Hashori gestured with her hand, and Liliya pushed herself back along the corridor. The Yautja followed for a few steps, then zeroed its triumvirate of targeting lasers directly onto the beast's domed head.

"Be careful, when it dies it will-"

The blast came. Liliya closed her eyes and protected her face. Dead, the Xenomorph burst apart as if destroyed from within. Its parts bounced from walls and ceiling, acidic blood splashing all around.-pg 283-284 chpt.22
