Anyone who controls this area has a good storage area. The ability to bring Earthling vehicles here allows good protection, and Mars makes a great place for a Supply Depot, or just a full blown Home Base.

The Shuttle crashed onto Mars.

"Grrr, Malak."

Xeno and BloodShot exited the Shuttle with Xeht. Xeno and BloodSHot faced Malak.

"Malak, I'm tired of you always interupting my ventures!!! BloodShot. Hyper-Mode, NOW!!!"

BloodShot bellowed in agreement. He flashed his patches, and Xenomorph mounted him. Xeno's Spines glowed in unison with BloodShot's patches. Xeno and BloodShot shared a golden hue, and readied for battle.

Xeno's voice was fused with BloodShot's 'voice'.

"Get ready, Malak. We're coming for you!!"

BloodShot charged, and Xeht watched. Xeht was amazed by the power they were able to generate when they were one.

Xeno fired his Golden Flame at Malak. It burned at him, and his Soul Angel. BloodShot tackled Malak.

(Oh, well, in that case...)

XenoShot(as BloodShot and Xeno are called in Hyper Mode) charged at the Angel. The KeyBlade Ultima Weapon turned, and the lock to the Soul Angel's heart was opened. The BloodShot half of XenoShot stabbed at the heart. XenoShot then blew more Golden Flame at the Angel, burning it's robe.

(Bioclone: If your character and his Soul Egdes are going to keep chasing us, please explain how your character knows where we are each time. Does he have spies everywhere? And please feel free to have your own adventures.)

Xeht, recovering from the pain he had felt, noticed the battle going on. He attacked with everything he had, but he was already feeling weak. But then, just when it seemed like he would die at the hands of one of Malak's sould edges, he began to glow gold, and enter the hypermode that he had resisted earlier. What was going on with him? Somehow, he knew this wasn't him doing this, that it was something triggering the Hypermode. Someone, something... or some things were forcing him into it, allowing him to when the battle. Then, his vision blurred. He lost conciousness, and it seemed to him that he was running on autopilot. When he regained control of himself, the battle was over, and all his enemies where gone. He was alone with Xeno and Bloodshot.

Xeht was lying on the floor, bleeding to death. Unable to do anything. He then blacked out.

When he woke up, he was in a strange and unfamiliar room, like a hospitle. "Where am I?" he asked. It was Xeno who answered him.

"In a hospitle on Mars. Youv'e been out for days. The doctors say you should be fine. They pulled out all the nanites. They were what was forcing you into hypermode, and making you feel bad."

"What? How did I get injected with nanites?"
"It must have been out in the winds on LV-426. You know we could hardly see out there. Anything could have happened."
"Bringing us back to why that Air-processing Facility had nanites."
"The guys here seem to know a little bit about that, but they woul'nt tell me until you woke up," said Xeno. "You are one lucky Predalien. The people here were reluctant to take you in, and even went as far as to try and kill you."

"Luckily, I was able to talk them out of it, however, talk is cheap, and I had to use my tail to do the talkin'." Xeno lifted his tail forward, and it was blood stained.

"Now that the Nanites are out of you, what do you plan to do? I wouldn't plan to do anything back at LV-426. You might get infected by Nanites again. Also, don't start worrying about BloodShot. Hes outside, helping the docs move some stuff around. I guess tehy are really starting to get te signifigance of Darwin IV's creatures."

Xeht looked over at a cup that was next to his bed. He read the label: "Spicy Ice? What's that?" He took an Ice cube, saw that it looked fairly normal, and put it in his mouth. It seemed like normal ice at first, and then.....

"AAAH! AAAAAAAH! IT'S HOT! IT'S HOT!" Xeht kept shouting in this comical manner for a few moments, and when he didn't stop, Xeno took another cup of what looked like regular ice, and shoved a whole handfull in. This drew and even bigger scream, although muffeled, from Xeht.

"Uuum!" Xeno hestated. He grabbed a cup of water, and prepared to spill some down his throat.

A small robotic figure opened the door and rushed in. "DON'T!" Was his only word. He snatched the cups away, and explained that water would just make the spices react worse. "Use this plant!" He shoved a blue leaf down Xeht's mouth, and the shouting died down a second later.

"The spice used in these ice products is a mineral from here on Mars. It's a smashing hit with all the residents here on the planet, but there are several different levels of it. 1-5. 5 has the highest legal amount of spice on it, and it looks like that's what your'e friend here got. Probably a prank to antagonize this Predalien for the enjoyment of others. I'll have a talk with the medical staff assigned to you."

"Thanks!" said the gasping Xeht. "But could you please get someone who could explain what the nanites are for? That's what's troubling me at teh moment. I've got a very bad feeling about it. "

Xenomorph laughed. Whoever pulled that prank has a good sense of humor.

"Hah. But really. What are nanites?"

The robot answered, "I believe that are nanobots used for various things. We use them here for medical uses, however, we have never seen the kind that was in your friend. They were built to tear at nerve cells, and replace them with other nanites, which is why your friend went crazy, and went into Hyper Mode."

"Nanobots, huh? Maybe some can be built to combat other nanites."

"But those were our nanites," said a deep voice. It belonged to a Predator, who stalked in behind the robot.
"Yours?" the robot asked.
"That's correct. You must realize, there is a war about to break out between four factions," the Predator said. "It's the Autobot's and Decepticon's war, but now other creatures are starting to get pulled into the mix. Our species, for example. The Decepticons located the Air-processing units on LV-426 years ago. They saw the aliens there as well. The decided to find a way to control all of them. They built Sound emitters that could be used to heavliy influence the queen.
They lost the battle for the Allspark centuries ago, and with it now destroyed, they have found the second best weapon for causing extinction throughout the universe: the aliens. The Autobots had spies among them, and they planned to interviene. But they were discovered. That's why there were nanites in the facility. The Autobots came to us for help, and now we are using Mars as a base camp. If they gain control of the Aliens, they could easily and very quickly raise an army to wipe out every life-form in the universe."

"So, a war is taking place between these AutoBots and Decepticons?"

Sparks flew from the KeyBlade as Xeno lightly tapped it on the floor, like someone would tap their foot.

"Well, the Decepticons are evil, no doubt. I wonder if we can use their own strength against them. Turn the Aliens against them, instead of killing inocents."

"Right now the only thing we should worry about is you two," said the robot. He turned to Xeht. "Your stablility is only temporary. We've managed to patchyou up, but only for the moment. We need to use a special procedure to save your life. You will both gain, and lose much."

"What do you mean?" asked Xeht.
"We need to take your brain and heart, and transplant it into a machine. Something that resembles you, but you'll be bigger, stronger, faster, and more powerfull over-all. You'll be like an Autobot, and we'll even be able to make you have the ability to transform like the others. However, you loose every other organ to artificial replacements, and you'll have to take long hours to recharge."
"No way! I'm not going to be transformed into some strange robotic! No offence..." replied Xeht.
"None taken. But I'm afraid it's our only option. It's either that, or death. And being a transformer is much better than that," he turned to Xeno. "It's also available to volunteers, if your'e interested."

Xeht thought a few minutes. Then he started to fell terrible again. Being angry was making him worse! "He needs the E.R.! Now!" were the last words he heard before he blacked out.

(A quick question. Goji3754, do you WANT to be half robot, or would you want to go with something I have in mind? It involves my Draco side.)

(Yeah, Half robot. I'm in a Transformers/AVP-R craze right now, so I thought this would be an interesting angle. It opens up som many possibilties, and I've dcided to wing it and see what happens. Plus, this'll give Malak a harder time when next he pops out of nowhere. I know what you have in mind, and it's interesting, but lets save that for a character with a purer heart than a Predaliens.)
