Hello everyone! I sincerely do apologize for the long, long wait of the second chapter my version of an Alien vs Predator story. In this chapter, people do die but there won't be too much detail into that. But I really hope that this chapter was worth the wait. I've surely worked hard on it to try and make it longer, if not better, than the first chapter.
Hope you all enjoy!!

Just a sector away from PX-255, a Colonial Heavy Cruiser was quietly drifting in space, it's engines off but in appearance, it was quiet, very quiet. No communication static, no thrusters firing automatically to keep the ship still, no running lights, nothing. In fact the cruiser inside was dark, everything about the ship made it appear that it was dead in space, except for that it wasn't drifting or spinning out of control or anything that would indicate that there was a battle. No. The Colonial Heavy Cruiser was quiet, because it was operating under full stealth mode, as stealthy as a vessel this size and this heavily armed can become.
Although, as quiet the cruiser seemed to be, it wasn't all so much in a officers quarters. As we look further inside, we will see that, whoever these quarters belonged too, was very busy with their guest. The man has a busty female pinned up against the bulkhead, her large breasts squished against his chest as he plowed his long thick cock hard into her dripping wet cunt, and the harder he thrusted, the closer his balls came to hitting her ass cheeks from swinging around so much. Their lips pressed together to muffle the moans and groans coming from the both of them, as the woman clawed his upper back and shoulders from the hard pounding she was receiving, while his hands were gripping that wonderful ass of hers so tightly.
Both individuals engaged in deep inter...well why beat around the bush...sex, hot, sloppy, sweaty, wet sex. All the while the entire ship is undergoing stealth operations. And just as the man was reaching his climax, especially after the woman had came many times over, the rooms intercom went off, though with the volume as low as it can be but still enough to be heard. "First Officer to the Command Center...Immediately." it turned off before the man could reply, slamming his steel hard cock home inside the woman. Dumping his load right into her womb while the tip of his cock stretched her cervix open, as ropes after ropes of thick cum filled her up.
"Dammit." He sighed heavily after their lips parted.
"Sounds like the Commander is not happy." She said, grinning at him. "Thanks for filling the tank..." She winked.
He held back a chuckle, "Any time. If you ever need a refill." He winked back as he lowered her down onto her feet and then began to get dressed really quick.
"I'll know who to come to." She bit her lower lip before she began to get dressed, not as quick as he is though.
In a few minutes, he was out the door buttoning up his jacket. "I'd escort you out but I best get going." He grinned before taking off, making sure he was quick but quiet with his steps.
Moving on to the command center of the heavy cruiser, the Commander stood there on the command deck, staring hard at the screen before him. He could see it. Sensors can't find a thing on short or long range, nothing in a sector wide radius was showing up on the sensor display that sat to the left of the visual display. But he can tell that something is there. Something about the stars didn't look right, displaced some how. But before he could act, he needed a second opinion, a second pair of eyes and he needed it right now.
As though as his request had been answered, he felt the presence of his first officer standing beside him. The shift in the air, way some of the little bits of sound the stations to the right of him had somehow become softer. He was very well aware of his surroundings, and just a slight shift told him someone was there beside him. And the smell, said who it was.
First officer began to whisper, "My apologies, sir. I was-"
"This is not the time to be doing trivial things, Major. Make sure it does not happen again." The Commander interrupted, with a slight disappointment in his quiet voice.
The first officer frowned, "Trivial, sir? But making love is a form of art, something to be respected, cherished, and embraced."
The Commander had the urge to give the man the most stern look he's ever received ever since he came under his command, but he refused to remove his eyes from the very spot on the view screen. "Major, that is something reserved for the one who earns it. You waste it on those who wish to earn kudos with their section leaders. It may be an art to you, but it is sacred to me, and I find your use of it most distasteful."
The first officer sighed and accepted it as a defeat. He learned better than to argue with the Commander. Although, he began to notice that the Commander has not removed his eyes from the visual display. "What is it?"
"Have you heard stories about Colonial warships going missing whenever they reach a certain region of space?"
"Only that those who were lucky to survive, never saw the attacker... Why?"
"Look closely, Major. What do you see."
The first officer leaned in closer, staring hard at the spot the Commander's eyes had not left. At first he didn't see a thing, but then he began to notice some sort of distortion. Stars out of place, strange blank spots, something did not look right. "A cloaked vessel?"
Just what the Commander needed, a confirmation of what he was seeing. "There are classified files for Commanders eyes only. Some had information on a certain species that other commanders and admirals have encountered, species with the technology to cloak their ships... And their bodies. Not perfect, but almost impossible to see to the naked eye... Unless you look hard enough. Some Commanders call them ghosts, wraiths. Others... Call them Predators." The Commander finally pulled his eyes away from the screen and looked at his first officer. "And we just became it's prey."
The First Officer's eyes grew wide. "Then we've been detected."
"We all knew that stealth is almost impossible with a vessel of this size. It gives off too much noise, too much is exposed. It was only a matter of time."
"Then we strike first, before they do."
The Commander shook his head. "The second we power up the weapons, is the second they know we see them. And that is the moment we lose."
"Then what do we do?"
The Commander faced the control board before him and began entering commands, bringing up a text dialogue on the screen to the right of the display. "I have been communicating with various staff members. Working ways to improve timing on weapon charging, bringing shields online, even modifying our thrusters for advance combat readiness. Whatever that is out there, I fully intend to be ready."
The first officer stood there, reading the messages. "From what it looks, we are almost ready. I even see that they managed to put the shields on stand by mode, so they should engage at full strength the moment we go to battlestations."
"The only problem is weapons. They will still need a moment to charge to full power to be effective, including our main cannons. And even if they were ready, I am not even sure how effective our weapons will be against them or how strong our shields will be."
First officer sighed. "So we can't run without tipping them off that we know they're there? And we aren't even sure if we're capable of fighting them?"
The Commander shook his head. "We haven't engaged these creatures in enough battles to know what we are up against or to try to develop better defenses and weapons against them. But if anything, I do not intend for us to go down without a fight. You do realize what is next if we fail?"
The first officer frowned, as he thought about it for a moment. There was no space station, no listening post, nothing that he could think of except...a colony. "PX-255."
The Commander nodded. "Not only that Major. But also a Weyland Yutani Corporation research facility. Extremely Classified facility. And do you know the standing orders of any Colonial Military vessel in the vicinity of a Weyland Yutani Corporation facility if there are hostile contacts near by?"
"Defend it at all costs, sir."
The Commander nodded again. "Correct, Major. You may be insubordinate at times, reckless, leading by the seat of your pants...but I know you're a good man and I know you will understand when I say this: We will fight to the last man and woman on board this ship, even if it means total annihilation. If we can stop that unknown vessel with every single thing, down to blowing up our fusion reactors to take them with us, then so be it. Understood?"
The first officer stared at the man before nodding his head. "Understood, sir."
