The two Myrrs spotted a clearing in the forest and landed there, setting Shive down to the ground as lightly as possible.
"Bleh, you've gotta carry Shive on your own now." Xeno-Myrr grumbled.
"Huh? Why?"
"I've been disconnected from you through the shadow for almost a day, and you know I have to come back every night. See ya later." Xeno-Myrr ignored whatever Myrr was going to say after that and 'melted back into a shadow stay and reconnecting with Myrr.
"Grr, she picks the worst of times." Myrr sighed then knelt down next to Shive, "We should be safe here for now, hopefully that Zanpoktou of your is right that the Zakus will stay near the city."

Shive nodded, his throat recovering slowly but surely.
What, you think I'm wrong? Why would they bother to come here? The people are in the city. People are their hosts. 'Nuff said. Hakaisha huffed.
Shive stared absently back at the city. So many people had been lost within just an hour... but that wasn't the main thing bothering him. His facial muscles clenched as much as they could, along with his fists. He let that b*stard go again!
Unaware to either, something was watching them from the shadows, planning an appropriate attack.

"Sorry for extending a bit more caution then we had before." Myrr replied dryly. She didn't dare mention a certain demon possessed person to Shive though, knowing his thoughts wer centered on that person... monster.
She didn't know if there was anything she could say to cheer him up, so she just hugged him, lightly because of his wounds.

Shive's eye drifted over to Myrr as she hugged him, and he smiled weakly. He was getting his strength back, that was for sure. And that was when the scales on the back of his neck stood up, his ears perking. His eyes widened and he started shaking in fear as he looked behind Myrr, and Hakaisha herself was silent.
Take a Xenomorph, then smooth down it’s entire body so it doesn’t appear biomechanical. Chop off the lengthened part of the head, and replace it with a Praetorian-esque crest, and a row of bony ridges running up the entire length of the head, and two small, beady, dark, dark-blue eyes. Give it another smaller pair of arms just below the larger, and slap a pair of black pterodactyl-esque wings on its back. Finally, remove the inner mouth and enlarge its teeth, also removing their ‘lips’. On either side of it's head is a horn-ish protrusion that curved forward slightly at the end.
It was standing right behind Myrr. Shive wheezed, trying to get her to turn around.
"Myrr... get behind me..." He gasped silently.
However, the thing wasn't actually looking at them, but at Myrr's shadow. It looked up at Myrr and cocked its head, its tail swishing behind it, and it turned back to the half-dragon's shaodw.
"It's... in your shadow?" The thing asked in a voice exactly like Myrr's.

"If you mean my dark half, then yes, it is."
'Hmm? Someone's taking an intrest in me? I've had connection for a decent time, so seperation again won't kill me.' Xeno-Myrr said. Myrr's shadow seemed to lift itself up as it disconnected from her, taking the form of Xeno-Myrr.
"Why hello there, I don't recall seeing you before, save for now. Just one question, who are you?" the hybrid asked.
"Sorry, she lacks my manners to a degree." Myrr commented, earning a glare from the other Myrr.

The thing cocked its head again, then raised its head into the air and let out a long, high-pitched hiss. Shortly after, two other creatures exactly like it landed, and it clicked and hissed to them rapidly. They turned back and looked at Xeno-Myrr, cocking their heads in return. Finally, one of them stepped forward and asked Myrr in what sounded like a little girl's voice,
"Are a Xenomorph? You smell and look like one, but not quite."
The other two glanced at the others, then back at Xeno-Myrr, waiting a response. Meanwhile, Shive was shaking so badly his armor was making clinking noises. He was covered in cold sweat, and his hands were clenched tightly.

"Eh, at best I'm half Xenomorph. But I have human and dragon traits as well, human traits most noticably in the eyes and the presence of hair, and dragon traits most noticable in the wings and, had it not been given a Xenomorph blade, the tail. Of course, there is always the foot talons." Xeno-Myrr replied, taking a sense of kinship to these Xenomorph-like beings.
"So, what brings you here?" Myrr asked the Xenomorphs. She was scared herself, her mind creating nightmares of Xeno-Myrr and these creatures taking offence to their presence and attacking them, but it didn't show in her features.

The three chittered to eachother again, and the one yet to speak stepped forward and replied in a voice like that of a middle-aged man's,
"Well, we were out on a routine hunting trip when that lovely darkness popped out from the city, allowing us to come out. We saw you three fly in, and well, we WERE going to kill you, but your Xenomorphic friend here caught our attention, and we were curious."
"We can't hunt in the sunlight, because it burns our hides and blinds us." The little-girl voiced one stated.
The other one cocked its head towards Shive and Myrr, the former now deathly still as he observed the scene, wide-eyed.
"You gonna eat those?" It asked Xeno-Myrr.

Xeno-Myrr scowled a bit.
"Hell no, and I'm not letting you eat them either. You may not have known this, but I need the female half-dragon to survive, because I am her shadow. I'm not letting you get the dragonkin since those two happen to be a pair, and I'm not one to let romantic relationships get broken up, unless its just me toying with them a bit. Not to mention part of my Xenomorph traits come from a Mother Queen." Xeno-Myrr replied with hiss.
Internally, Myrr sighed in relief, knowing that her shadow was still somewhat on their side. Though, she was wondering how these varieties of Xenomorph came to be.

The thing cocked its head, then chittered something back to the others. They seemed to be... laughing.
"A Queen Mother? Hmm, so that's why there were so many Xenomorphs a few months back."
It's tail lashed, and one of the others stated,
"And by the way, we're not actually Xenomorphs ourselves. We're-"
"Xenoliths." Shive interjected.
The thing snapped its head towards Shive, and it's head bobbed.
"Right. We're only distant cousins of the Xenomorph species." It stated, now using Shive's voice.
The one in front chittered something to the others, who in turn glanced at eachother with cocked heads, then shrugged and flew off. The first then turned back to the other three and crouched down, much like a dog sitting. It's tail wrapped around itself as it cocked its head, asking,
"So, you're the ones who exterminated that colony of Xenomorphs?"

"Eh? Those two couldn't hope to have done it on there own. You say light hurts and blinds you, right? Have any of you been near the part of that city where only one house had living beings in it before the entire place got demolished? And sorry for making that mistake on your species." Xeno-Myrr replied.
"Besides, the only way I know is because she knows. i wasn't around at that time."

The Xenolith's head tilted further, and it replied,
"Yes, I have been in that part of the city. I remember some jerk coming outside and blinding the crap out of me and some friends of mine while we were hunting. Why do you ask?"
Shive's eyes widened at that, and he started shaking again.
For the love of god, please don't tell them that was us... He thought, reffering to Xeno-Myrr.

"Hmm, just curious, considering I ha-" Xeno-Myrr got cut off by Myrr dashing forward and clasping her hands around the hybrid's mouth.
"That is ENOUGH out of you!" Myrr growled, towing the hybrid away from the Xenolithes. "Sometimes I wonder if you intentionally try and get us in trouble," she hissed low enough that only Xeno-Myrr would hear. The hybrid pulled Myrr's hand away and hissed back, "Why the hell do you keep ruining my fun?"
"THIS is fun to you!? You're just an insane b**** and I'm tired of you being my shadow!"
"Deal with it, girl, I'm here to stay."
Myrr just punched Xeno-Myrr in the face. The hybrid blinked, shaking the stars from her head. She grabbed a hold of and tugged Myrr's hair, making the half dragon screech.
In a sense: Cat fight.
A few minutes went by before the two Myrrs had their heads against one another with their fists clenched. Sparks seemed to fly between their eyes as both hissed at each other.

The Xenolith merely stood theree and watched, tail swaying back and forth. It shrugged and scuttled away into the trees, only to hiss in surprise as a black, scaled hand grabbed it by the throat, four red eyes glaring at it from the darkness. A cracking sound followed shortly after.
Meanwhile, Shive watched in confusion as the two fought, and his fist clenched.
"KNOCK IT OFF!" He roared, the sound reverberating off of the trees.
He staggered to his feet and walked over to the two Myrrs, glaring. He grabbed both of them by the shoulders and forced them apart until they were his entire arm's length away from eachother. He turned to Xeno-Myrr and hissed,
"Look, you may enjoy your 'fun', but as long as you're stuck in Myrr's shadow, she can keep you under bars for as long as her will holds, deciding whether or not to let you out. And you-"
He turned to Myrr and continued,
"You're stuck with her until who knows when. So, either put up with her actions or let her out."
He let the two go and spun around, limping towards the trees.
"So until you two start getting along, I'll be somewhere else. I'm sick of your damn s***."
He walked through the trees and paused, seeing the Xenolith corpse. He quickly covered his mouth and nostrils, muttering,
"Thanks, X. I never thought that damn thing would go away."
"No prob." A certain Zoanoid replied before bouncing away.
Shive nodded and edged away from the Xenolith corpse, continuing through the trees.

(OOC: *rolls off of chair laughing*)
The two Myrrs blinked in surprised, before looking at each other.
"So, exactly what is it you see in him again?" Xeno-Myrr asked.
"Shut it, whats to stop me from caging you up?" Myrr returned. Xeno-Myrr fell silent, then melted back into her shadow state. As soon as she got into Myrr's mind, she found herself trapped in a cage that was almost small enough to crush her.
'HEY! WHAT THE F*** IS THIS FOR!?'
"So that you stay out of my life and I don't have to listen to you whine and moan about how I keep ruining your fun. Now SHUT UP!" Myrr then casted the hybrid to a part of her mind where Xeno-Myrr would hopefully get lost and never come out again.
"Well, now that I think about, that is kind of rude... Even if she annoys me to no end..." Myrr mused, wondering if she should go back and at least give Xeno-Myrr a chance of getting out.
"...Nah, if she's so tough, she'll figure it out for herself."
Meanwhile, in Myrr's mind, the cage Xeno-Myrr was in landed in what appeared to be a desert... and didn't open.
"Um, hello? A little help here? Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you here! ...SOME ONE GET ME OUT OF THIS THING!!!!" the hybrid screamed futily.
Myrr, who didn't hear the hybrid's screaming shrugged to herself and went to find Shive.
