Well, I'm writing a story, it's a story in and of itself, it's not pawning off of the series, but what I wanted was to have an homage to each movie in it.
Like in Alien, A soldier is walking through the ship, it passes by a cargo space, first he passes right by, then he comes back when he hears hissing. He walks in and sees only a crate or two, and a chain with something hanging from it. It isn't moving, so he figures it's just part of the ship, then he walks past it, and it attacks him.
From Aliens: A vent scene, where the man activates a full belt of grenades, that actually completely destroy the vent shaft, and throws the survivors into a hive.
From Alien 3: After chasing a Runner through the halls, he runs into his friend, and they excange 'I thought you were one of them!' and laugh, then they find the predator firing up into a raised cieling, and it drags on after that.
From Resurrection: The Predalien crushes the head of a marine, and then spits on anothers face causing him to scream in pain as his face disappears.
From Predator: The Yautja uses a small dart to paralyze his target, then fires a plasma round through his chest, then a marine finds his body and starts spazzing out with his gun.
From Predator 2: The incident with Gary Busey where the Predator attempts to kill him with a Plasmacaster round, but then has to resort to a disc to finish the job
From AVP: In AVP an Alien stabs a Yautja through the chest and raises him up to it's face, this time it's just an alien and a predator in the same room, and then the hunter stabs the alien through the chin with his wristblades
From Requiem: The infamous 'double headshot' except made into a triple headshot after the hunter finds a predator weapons depot, where he finds his own plasmacaster, another, and then a plasma pistol. Then, after his friend is killed, a marine charges the predator, except he gets killed, he doesn't get off easy.
As for the Alien designs
I wanted to make the ship a full tits-up hive, all walks of xenomorph life, instead of just one class
I posted this in another thread
The Tables I am using (of Yautja and Xenomorph Evolution)
Xenomorph
-Egg
--Facehugger
---Embryo
----Chestburster
-----Runner (The lowest age, the weakest form of Adult Xenomorph)
------Jumper^ (The runner, but with slight back-spine growth, and strengthened limbs)
-------Drone (The working class, overall body strength improvement over Jumper class, full back-spine growth)
--------Warrior (Backup fighters, otherwise they do the same jobs as the Drone, stomach and chest growth, no skin growth, only muscle and bone. Head skin begins to tighten, showing skull structure)
---------Soldier (The main line of defense, they do no physical work whatsoever, they do whatever deed is given to them involving the making of war, full body, muscular, skeletal, neural, et cetera increase, skin begins to molt, great increase of vision of skeletal structure)
----------Vanguard^ (largest lower-born* xenomorph. Increased physical being, similar to the bodily upgrade of the soldier, everything increased, muscles, bones, the inner-mouth-tongue begins to resemble that of the Prætorian's and Queen's. Extreme claw growth, two extra spear ends grown from tail, elongated inner-mouth-tongue, elongated tail. Back-spines sharpen, as a form of defense, Small quills grow from the tips of the bones of the skull)
*=Lower-Birth: Not specifically born, such as the Queen or Prætorian
Yautja
~Birthed^ (The child form, smaller physical structure, a stubbier form of the adult, learns to hunt with a spear, bow and arrow, and wooden or training versions of the weapons the aduly uses)
~~Teenager^ (A hunter of readied skill, but not proper age to hunt threatening game)
~~~Youngblood Pre-Trial (A hunter of proper age to engage in a Hard Meat Trial, but has not been part of one yet)
~~~~Youngblood Post-Trial (Same as above, but with enhanced skill, from surviving an onslaught of Hard meat)
~~~~~Young hunter# (A Youngblood with moderate hunting experience, both in teams and alone)
~~~~~~Hunter# (Same as above, but with a great deal more experience and skill)
~~~~~~~Warrior# (A hunter, but with vast experience. This is the phase in the life of a Yautja, where the fun begins. They learn (whether by Elders, or with their own unique style) to specialize their weapons)
~~~~~~~~Blood Warrior^ (A great hunter, a Role Model for all Yautja Youngbloods and Hunters, strong and audacious, but sagacious and clever as well)
~~~~~~~~~Neophyte Elder^ (A recently appointed Elder of a clan, a Yautja with hundreds of years of fighting experience, they participate in less hunts, but rather, supervise the hunts, and Trials)
~~~~~~~~~~Elder (The title every Yautja yearns to be appointed to, the strongest, greatest, most honourable Yautja who ever lived, their records often aspire to be broken by Youngbloods)
#=Real rank, but moved around a bit
^=I made this up, but am pretty sure people will agree with it, right?
The Predalien is just the same as the Predalien from Requiem, sans the crowned head.
Oh, the Predalien has a little more Yautja in it this time, it's a little more honorable, and uses a few basic pieces of equipment of the predator (like a pre-telescoped spear, or a knife)
Deaths: After the scene with the 'I thought you were one of them' they run into a kitchen, where the see the hunter shooting at the cieling, well, it never actually hits the alien, but does manage to bring the cieling down (no pun intended). The alien survives the fall, and jumps into the kitchen, one human gets away, the other gets grabbed and headbitten three times.
The Predator does the 'Juggle kill' from CJ
Multiple disc decapitations
I really don't have much of a dialogue or plot set up (well, I have a plot, just too long to explain)
Predators nickname is 'Tex'
Predalien's name is 'Clive'
Main Marine's name is never revealed
Setting: A Weyland-Yutani ship called the Makarov, it's absolutely huge, and later in the movie, Tex and Clive face off, and Tex acidentally blows a water valve, and as a result, the ship begins to flood.
