Fight for Survival (for E'Gona)

[queenofthehive]

The runners had caught sight of the marines long before they reached the hive. The queen had been preparing for their inevitable return for weeks and the hive was now ready for even their worst assaults

E'Gona watches them in silence. What started out to be a simple meeting with "I'Kani" (to hopefully play) has turned into something far more dangerous. The air is heavy with the feeling of impending threat and the Shadow hatchling finds itself growing fearful for its new friend. As the runners scale the walls the hatchling can hear the sound of gunshots. Glancing quickly to the Queen it can hear the growls and soon it catches sight of four more elders. It's about to chirp feeling the need to help but it refrains. When the time comes it will strike using what it knows best...Stealth.

No matter what happens it will not stand by and watch it's friends fall victim to the younger and more ignorant races.

The queen sees the little Shadow and freezes. Toi her it was like one of her own and with a chitter a pair of drones receed from the front to protect him

E'Gona suddenly finds the drones moving in to guard it and curiously it looks back to the elder, the one known as Queen. Backing away it watches as the younger race, the one known by it's people as 'Earthers' or humans approach with deadly flamthrowers. In horror it watches confused as to why this peaceful hive is percieved as such a threat to them

The drones understand perfectly, it is a manuever the hive used from time to time. As E'Gona starts to disappear the drones head off stopping to encourage him to follow along the way. The corridor is dark and Narrow. Finally it exits beneath some boulders and debris to the side of the hive enterence.

The drones lay prone in the grass watching the marines and the two trucks they had brought.
