《Evolution of the Twin Xenomorphs》Chapter 5 Evolution
Advertisement
The Yautja slowly unequipped its armor, throwing the helmet and plasma caster aside. Its only weapons covered in xenomorph blood shining a light green. Even though it was taking off its armor, it still kept its eyes locked onto us showing no openings. The Yautja took an aggressive stance and roared at us as it initiated the last fight. This time, Jun didn't try to contend in brute strength but stood his ground firmly taking his own stance.
Jun's tail clashed with the Yautja's wrist blades and was pushed back several times until finding a small opening, striking towards the Yautjas face. The Yautja evaded the tails deadly strike in time but failed to evade it fully as a mandable and several dreadlocks fell to the ground. Neon blood covered the tip of Juns tail, but there was no time to celebrate as a blade came slashing across its face. A long, deep horizontal gash appeared on Juns head which caused him to retreat a few steps hissing furiously at the Yautja. When the Yautja was about to follow up with another stab to the chest, its own chest was pierced through by Juno. Blood gushed from the opened wound and spilling from its mouth, painting the earth a neon green, very conspicuous within the brown dark green forest.
Somewhere in another world
"Ugh.." I moaned as I looked down to my chest and at the approaching xenomorph before me. As I had expected, it opened its mouth wide and its inner jaw shot straight through my skull.
You are dead.
I threw the virtual headgear to my bed and shuddered. "That felt too real... They are AI's... right?" I questioned, as cold sweat appeared on my forehead and back. "Well, I'm not going to play that game again... but ill give it a good review"

Back to the Twins
『Jun!!! Are you alright?!』 My sister flicked the Yautja to the side retrieving her tail and worriedly jumped to me. We both rolled onto the ground to which I laughed lightly at her actions. It seemed as though she was crying and was nudging her head against mine, soft hissing leaving her mouth and soothed her down, patting her long head. 『Just a small scratch... Juno, we did it.』 『Mh... we did... it was a tough fight』 We returned our minds to the Yautja corpse and ate its brains as well as several chunks of meat. The wrist blades that were attached to its forearms slowly lost their glimmer and the red lights depleted until there was no more energy from it. We could only assume that the System was extracting the energy from within.
[Objective complete. New objective. Escape the enraged Yautjas and find the hidden Yautja spaceships.]
We didn't have time to dawdle and linger around so we swiftly left the murder scene. Our vitality was quite high so it didn't take long until we recovered from our shallow injuries. Still, we left a trail of blood which made it easier for the Yautjas to track us down. Hours had passed and we were now mostly healed, though the scar on my head is still there and doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon. The Yautjas that were tacking us down slowly lost our track, mostly due to the muddy terrains within the forest.

『Huh? So many points?』 Juno was shocked, but it made some sense. The Yautja was indeed a higher species than Humans as well as it is a monster of superhuman strength. Jun checked the Evolutionary path and was surprised to find another option.

『Predalien? But the 2,000 Evo points...』
『Wraith? System, can you explain what the wraith evolution is?』 Juno asked with doubt.
[Wraith, focuses on stealth and speed.]
『Short description...』
The twins discussed a little about the points and evolutionary paths, agreeing to max out their stats then choosing Wraith and Warrior respectively.
[Do you wish to evolve into a Xenomorph Warrior?]
[Do you wish to evolve into a Xenomorph Wraith?]
『Yes!』
『Yes.』
Tsss
Steam rose from our bodies as the energy circulated faster and faster. Our skins shed until there was a pile of dead skin beneath our feet. When we looked at each other, we were both impressed and marveled at the Systems' ability. Not much had changed with Juno's appearance besides becoming more sleek and streamlined. Her tail had also further extended reaching a length of 8ft. Jun now had a ridged head and stood at a taller height of 8ft.

Our all-around performance drastically increased, the most noticeable is our senses as we had detected something with a similar sent to the Yautjas. Juno stealthily approached closer to the smell while Jun followed a little behind since he wasn't as stealthy as she was. 『Jun, good news!』 Sadly, she didn't get to finish her words since the system alerted them in their minds.
[Objective complete. Extracting foreign energy source.]
Once again, the two were stuck with intense pain coursing throughout their bodies. The two hissed in agony, slashing at nearby trees with their tails to vent a little. It seems that the increased stats and new physique help alleviate the pain and reduce how long it took, as the two calmly recollected themselves and sat outside the ship which had uncoated itself due to insufficient power to keep the cloaking ability active.
[The System has an additional function. Rift Maker: Opens a rift to another world.]
