Tutorial Part 2: Exiting

"Well, good luck." Titan moved over to the duct. "Only fools would stay and fight. Also pretty sure, the Xenomorphs are probably all have hatched by now. No reason to think, they won't swarm the place."

System: Acrobatics Check 25 Pass

It was easy to jump to the height and pull himself in. The others just looked at the door then at him. Titan dropped his hand down and wiggled it. Ripley pushed the girl up with the baby. She was yanked in and pushed pass him. It was a tight fit.

"Hurry up." Titan said none hurried. He felt Ripley grab hold so he yanked her up. She slid on pass but her butt smacked him in the face. "Hey!" She wiggled pass apologizing. "Your turn, Put the armor "away" and lets go."

"Someone has to hold them off." Gene rebutted.

"Ok, let me make this clear. Get up here, cause they will die without your help. I swear to everything I will kill them myself! You need to watch over them to help prove your Boss is innocent!" Titan poked his head out staring at the redhead. "Oi, Space Cherry, do you really not care what happens to the others. I am pretty sure Malfina's ditzy ass might be used as some rich's man's plaything. And if the Weyland corp finds out about her, ohhh boy. If they haven't been able to stay away all these years already."

Gene thought about it for a bit. Remembering what he has been through since coming here, he heeded Titan's words. Running over he hopped up without any help.

*Crunk!* The jaws of life got the door open enough. The Colonial Marines that made it through got ready to open fire.

*Tink, tink!* Gene dropped a present for them, unfortunately. It was a stun grenade.

*Flash!* The marines were blinded. But that was not all that happened. The Xenomorph in the container received the flash as well. It shrieked loudly alerting the others to its location.

"Well, you have defintely killed all of them." Titan said moving to the crossway areas of the duct. He turned down one way with the others following behind him. "Hey, go your own way."

"Well, you came from the duct. It makes sense you know where you are going." Ridley said behind him. The girl Newt, was behind her and Gene brought up the rear. "Hopefully you do not really lead us to our death."

"Nah, not our death. Your death." Titan stopped and waited a moment. Ripley saw why. Several of the Xenomorphs ran past them. A light glow from Titan's hands caused an illusion. They thought there was a wall in place. So they went around. "Phew, that was something. Getting tired a little."

"How did you do that?" Ripley asked.

"Magic." Titan said simply and started crawling across. 10 minutes later and they were at the end. "Time for a little jump jump."

*Kink!* The hatch was kicked up. It fell down for a while down below. So long, no sound was heard immediately.

"Ah, a crater. Always a crater."

"What are we gonna do now?" Ripley asked. She watched in horror as Titan jumped in. She wanted to scream when she saw him float back up a few minutes later.

"He really knows magic." Newt said. Gene pushed her forward and grabbed her by the waist. "Why are you pushing?"

"Because we have company." Behind Gene, a few Xenomorphs were coming. "They do not look happy. So jump."

"What are you crazy?" Ripley asked as he grabbed her to. "Dont you daaarreee!" She screamed as they all went over. "If we make it out of this, I am gonna kill you!"

"It will be fine." Gene looked down below seeing the exhaust vents turn. "Here it comes!"

*Wooosh!* The large turbines pushed them up a little. Slowly they floated up towards Titan who waited on the otherside. He was standing watching them and the Xenomorphs get pushed out of the duct one after the other.

"Well.. took you long enough." Gene dropped them next to him. He turned to see the massive amount of Xenomorphs that funneled out. Titan could feel the sadness wash off the young man due to his Pather power. "The messed up thing, they never asked for this. Ah well."

"You sound as if you almost pity them." Ripley said. Her eyes looked over dangerously at the almost endless tide. "If the fans kick on, they won't come over will they?"

These were smaller and looked to be slightly green. Modified or a new type, Titan didn't care enough right now. To difficult to get a sample of them right now.

"I do. They would make a very valuable army." Titan smirked. "If they developed a personality, then they would get rights." Once the fans started to spin again, he used the remainder of his energy to disable them. "Time to go."

*Vrrrrnnn!* The fans grind to a half. Several Xenomorphs fell in between the large blades. Their bodies severing from the impact. The special chemical makeup of the blood melting the fans mechanisms completely.

A few would most likely survive.

*Kabooom!* something down below exploded.

"That cannot be good. Hopefully, we make it in time." Ridley said in a hurry. She ran up to in front of Titan. "You have a way out of here right?"

"Huh? Nope."

"How did you survive all this time then?" Gene asked. He kept looking back to see if any ran up already. Slightly paranoid. It would take at least 10 minutes before the first one would climb up. Another 2 minutes to reach them.

"Was far out from this area. Hopefully, the atmosphere is still stable. If not, you might die and the girl and baby to." Titan could remember from the memories everything was fine when he left. But a lot could have happened since then. Like the Colonial Marines advancing to out there. Or an asteroid shower. "Should be fine."

"How are you going to survive then?" Ridley did not like how composed he was.

"Genetic engineering."

.

- Some Time Later-

.

No Xenomorphs chased after them. However, they came across a few Colonial Marines. The few areas that could be avoided were. As for the others, Gene made sure to knock them out only. His response was to have bodies to slow down if they were attacked by Xenomorphs.

The colonial Mariners were stripped of gear and placed inside the few convoys they had. Titan, Ripley, and Newt put the gear on. Besides Newt, the other two looked fine. The baby had a vest on just in case.

"So that kid had its genetic sequence messed with it I take it." Titan said breaking the ice. "I mean besides its body temperature mostly staying the same and no breathing problems despite the dust in the ducts and the stale artificial air, what else could it be?"

"How could you tell?" Gene thought it was odd as well. But he had no proof himself.

"Just Observations. I even put the baby to sleep when I first met you all. So far no problems occurred from doing so. Not really normal."

"Not normal to drug a baby." Ripley said a little angry.

"Would you rather a crying baby that could have distracted me during Gene's surgery or giving you away in the duct's?" Titan rolled his eyes at her. "Plus... not my baby."

"Well no." Ripley was a little bit upset still. But he had a point. But one thing stuck out again. Titan always spoke in a way that hinted he would be fine. 'Why is this colonist so weird?'

Entering the forward outpost ended things. A beacon was set up to Gene's ship. His friends were fine apparently. The problem was the Colonial marines. One of their ships was in bound as well. With only enough time for the few to leave.

On the ground, Titan watched as a few Xenomorphs were in the lead. The Colonial was chasing them down. Stretching out his Pather power in a direct focus, he latched on in that direction. The emotions of the Xenomorph telling all he needed.

The Colonial Marines had subdued the Queen and killed the others. With Titan having led the others to their death in the chase, it was an easy win.

But the Xenomorph in the lead was the one he met earlier. It led the others to him.

"So go ahead up and go. I will deal with these guys." Titan stepped out the hatch. To keep them from even attempting to follow, he crushed the controls with his Biotics. "Besides, the air you have in there might cause a problem. You and I know you will not do well without it. Right, Gene?"

"Tch, yeah." Gene said sadly. Titan never gave his name so he wouldn't be able to tell his User. Without that, he wouldn't be able to find him either. "We will see you again right?" Titan said nothing as he moved forward. "Dammit!"

*Vrrrp!* Up above the Outlaw Star sent a hatch tube down for them to get in. Inside were holding latches. As well as a few harnesses. Newt held tightly onto the baby. Ridley held tightly onto Newt. Gene held tightly to the bottom as it shot up.

"Hmm, they are out of visual range. Hopefully, they do not back around to view." Titan watched as the tube still rose up. Underneath it was a part of the structure. In case the tube ripped away or fire started. It was a gamble but they wanted what was in the structure. 'System has a sense of humor. Making my work station the location of the other User's many extraction points.'

Up above, the Colonial Marines did start opening fire. A warning shot that went wrong. It tore a hole in the dome of the place. Venting atmosphere immediately.

The air in the area would last only a few minutes.

The ground team immediately broke off to retreat. Not wanting to risk a fight or any trouble on the ground. The Xenomorphs kept running towards Titan.

A blue Paragon Option lit up around them. Titan was tempted to fight them but left it alone. A small unneeded risk. Choosing it, the Xenomorphs stopped in front of him. Up above the Colonial Marine ship was dropping a bomb to wipe Titan and the Xenomorph out.

"Biotic Shielding." Titan activated the spell creating a dome over them. As the bombs rained down, the underneath gave way. Burying them down below. "Well, this has been fun."

"They have captured our Queen." A Xenomorph hissed at Titan. The others did not move and watched him. Their instincts telling them, he was like them. But more so. Even more so than their Queen. What are you?"

"A King?" One the others said. It was more feminine in a way. The biotic strands coming off all of them, identify who they use to be and what they use to be. They were mixed between a few Colonial marines and Gene's team. "Do we follow you now?"

"Perhaps. But I have a better idea." Titan reached out with his Pather abilities. Bringing up the genetic memories from the host they burst from. 'Pather: Rewrite.' As the biotics pushed them down to keep them from hurting him or each other, his Pather power buried the genetic programming they developed over the years. He also tied them to the one that he first spoke with. He led them towards him, so it was something at least.

After a few hours, the Xenomorphs were done changing. Confusion about what happened to them kept them quiet. Trying to understand would take a long time. But Titan received what he wanted and then some. Information on the Colonial Marines and the User they worked for.

System: Tutorial Complete. Would you like to continue?

Before he agreed, Titan rembered to use Indoctrination on them. It was buried deep inside. He just wanted them to survive and not kill people willy nilly. Just helping to reinforce the deprogramming from their creation. He would be able to find the leader in the group if they met again with ease.

"See you again sometime." Titan waved as he put them all to sleep. When they woke up, each would look human again. Sleeper agents for later. 'I wonder what will happen from this.' A rift opens taking his soul away. Just a small bit would remain behind in the body.

The first thing it did was leave. Exploring the place was next on the agenda. The other Xenomorphs that were dead could provide excellent genetic material still.

-History Strongest Disciple-

.

Titan walked out into his room. On the bed was a sleeping Lluvia and Kasumi. It was Lluvia's avatar the doctor that was here however. Lluvia went to work. A message was in his inbox to read. Seeing the wine bottles all over, Titan cleaned that up first while reading the System messages.

System: Tutorial Complete: Level Up 5x 83% of rewards obtained. Not an enemy of Colonial Marines or Xenomorphs despite deaths. Gene Starwind's User has been released from custody due to the provided information. The User has retrieved those that belonged to him. Vacating the Movie entirely.

"Hm the time there is extremely fast to here. Might not go back there." The System only gave him the info that was available to him due to the him there and what the Sleeper agents knew. "Leading that train of Xenomorphs defintely did it for me exp wise. But... the tally level up is to different. Need to switch back to normal."

System: Ridley, Newt, and Hope have joined as his Followers. Rewards are as follows... Common Pull x3, Armor Pull 3x, Companion Pull x2, Low Pull x1, Medium Pull x2, High Pull x4

"Good haul. Oh, need to look at the points I earned. Need to buy some Cultivator stuff. Already have enough Magic schools to re-study and martial arts already blended togethor. Defintely need more technology in my inventory to." Titan talked with himself as parts of his mind kept track of what he needed. It was a habit that would not be forgotten easily. 'Need an A.I. for help again. Already had a Digimon, and the other has a NetNavi, and Edi from Mass Effect. What to get this time?'

System: Points + 3421, Operator Points + 13,435

"Ehhhh, why so much as an Operator?"

System: Constant changes in the movie's future path has lead to higher difficulty. Several Operators have taken an interest. Operator Lluvia has sold the right to the place. It was understood User Titan would not take a vested interest in it. Once sales are finalized, additional points will be deposited.

"That is defintely true." Titan shrugged and dismissed the windows. Scanning the shop for anything useful as he went to take a bath. "Eh?" A slight stirring in his body from the level up.

*Babump!* His second and third heart-formed at once. All three now synchronizing togethor.

"Shhit thats smart!" Titan hit his head in the tub. The Guyver unit sped up and went around his body. In the corner of his eye, he spotted Kasumi laughing at him. "Not funny!"

"Hehe, but it is." She chuckled as she moved to the tub, Sitting down her hands moving in the water. "You should have checked your messages as soon as you got back. Lluvia spent a large portion of her points to get your body closer to what it use to be here. A gift since an emergency assignment came up for her."

System: Spirit Profound Realm Stabilized. All stats risen by 4.

"Haa already." Titan sighed leaning back into the tub. "Hey, suggest a good A.I. to help me with things."

"Wait till later. A lot of your stuff should be coming back soon. In a few weeks anyway. I am sure that is also why she sped it up. Try not to get into old habits. You will not grow if you use to much old stuff."

Titan knew what she was talking about so he didnt argue. The items in his Nether Heart were very much needed right now though. Some he never even got a chance to use. Like the Geth cells and the Super A.I. he copied from MightGaine in a way.

His mind already scouring the shop for a Transformer because of the last one. He never had one or a Minicon. Time to get one. But fate was not on his side. They were sold out in the shop. Even sold out in the Bargain Bin. Building one from scratch would be the worse thing ever. Still worth it though.

"Cultivation defintely is the way to go. Makes the bodies more healthy with the powerful soul. But a soul body is nice to." Kasumi said. She was reading a few different things while talking with Titan. "Then again, tech ruled most places we went to. Finding a balance was to hard. But the biomechanical traits we developed removed all that really."

"Yeah, but the soul affects so much of things in that case." Titan could see how easy it would have been for him to have gone a really bad route with his original mind setting. "I could have defintely went the cheap and easy killing path."
