The Death Of Lee...(AU)

Description

"It all started like a normal day would, Waking up next to my beloved Zi-zi, Taking a Nice and Cold Shower, Getting dressed up for the day and eating breakfast with the whole family....It was an average everyday evening we would all have as usual.....Just another day in paradise.
 
But then, everything changed at 2:45 Pm....

I was sitting on the couch watching some tv with Xeelya, Xelexis on the couch and Xeeta was laying on my shoulder when Xanni walked into the room saying she saw really gigantic looking birds that look like they were on their way here.

When those words came out of her thoughts i calmly set down Xeeta before i flipped over my chair and ran upstairs and to the roof, Looking everywhere in the sky until i finally saw it......

These weren't gigantic birds....

They were Metal and not of the flesh.....

I knew exactly what brand of Ship it was after taking a glance at the large thrusters that were close to their 'wings'

It Was the Phoenix Legion's War Hawks, and by the looks of it They were headed straight for my house with Colonial Marine and Weyland Yutani dropships in tow.

Needless to say i was freaking out at this point, my brothers and sisters had finally found me and yet i have a feeling it won't be such a friendly family reunion as I thought it would be.

I sounded the emergency alarm and before i knew it everyone packed up their things, ready to go. I on the other hand was grabbing weapons and preparing to repel the enemy forces on there way here.

Running downstairs with my family following me, I opened a door to a secret tunnel underneath our house and ordered them to get in and make their way to the Liverpool as soon as they can, Xeena refused to go because she was concerned about me but i told her she needed to get the children out of here and to the Liverpool before she could so much as think about me, I hate to use it against her but as the mom it was her duty to protect her kin first before thinking about her mate.

She agreed with me and forced herself to leave with all the children to safety and promised to come back for me..

Now i was all alone in the house and i was going to do my damn best to hold off the enemy while my family would escape back into the Liverpool.

I knew what was already coming and took all the weapons down into the basement and hid as missiles collided with my house and destroying everything I built for my family....

Luckily the basement ceiling didn't cave in which allowed me to survive the air strikes but i could only imagine how my house looked like now, those bastards destroyed my dream house and drove my family away from me, this was going to be one hell of a fight because I was pissed at this point.

I put on my Shadow Armor and grabbed all the weapons i could carry and rushed up stairs, I pushed and then kicked down the door that was covered by debris on the other side to just look around and see my house in ruins, bit's and pieces of furniture, paintings and my suit buried underneath it all.

This was going to be a lot more interesting then i thought it would....I was out matched a 100 to 1....

Loading up my missile launcher, i began to shoot every last shell i had up into the sky towards the incoming ships making a second strike run and i saw one by one 9 ships get shot down and crash, causing the second air strike to be prevented, two ships accidently crashed into eachother trying to avoid the missiles and soon 11 birds were down.

I once again hid in the basement when they went around to make the next strike that hit the house ten times harder and while i was down there i began to set up for a final stand as i knew after the 3rd strke they would try to deploy soldiers to the ground for the assault on any leftover survivors.

My family had to have reached the Liverpool by now, if so then they might try to come back to rescue me....I can't allow that to happen, maybe if i had more missiles to shoot down seven more birds so they can make a quick landing and pick me up, but i decided that the missiles i bought back in the day were good enough....Now i have nothing left to provide cover fire for the Liverpool so i had to be the only center of attention while they get off this planet. 

I contacted Karen in secret and told her to lock my family in the cargo hold and get off world as fast as she can, lose anyone who follows and drop them all off on Zarria so they can be safe, Karen understood my orders and complied before telling me one last "Good Bye" before hanging up.

Now, they should be safe with Karen behind the controls of the ship, She knows what she is doing....Now to provide the distraction.

Colonial Marines and Weyland Yutani Synths patrolled the area looking for survivors after the last strike and were very surprised to see me jump from behind a collapsed wall of the kitchen and look directly at the end of a smart gun pointed in their direction as i shot them all up till there was nothing but bloody and white pieces everywhere.

Then it happened, a scout of the Phoenix Legion popped into my view and even thought everything in my heart told me to surrender i had no choice but to kill them with my revolver and watch their body hit the floor with a heavy thud, I killed my own brother in arms and yet i wasn't really broken up about it as I thought I would be, I was mad now and even though I might be hell bound for all that I've done I'm going to make sure i take all these bastards with me. I then proceeded to whip out my pulse rifle and carefully ambush the other members of the Legion who were approaching my location.

It was a Battle against over a hundred soldiers and i was doing a fairly good job against all the odds, it reminds me of one sole sniper who killed 20 people in my division who turned out to be a young space pirate. Luck was so far on my side as it seemed a very small little fleet was sent to this planet, so all i had to currently deal with were the enemy forces on the ground and no longer worry about those in the sky, they shot everything they had on this house and yet i was still alive thanks to the basement deep down in the ground with Several Layers of Metal used for spaceships giving me the perfect survivor bunker to stay alive, but that didn't stop them from dropping off more soldiers replacing the ones that i killed and were currently laying around the ruins dead.

The Final Hour, It was around six I believe, I could see the sun slowly setting in the distance and yet I still was dodging bullets that were still coming my way...It's been a couple hours since I had last seen the Liverpool left and now I was hugging whatever cover I could find as the synths started to overwhelm my position at a slow pace, Apparently they sent a small band of Colonial marines to handle a traitor and they were quickly dealt with in a few minutes with grenades and flame throwers, The Phoenix Legion for some weird reason retreated after I killed 30 of them and now all I had left were the Wey-Yu androids, But there were a lot of them then I originally thought and they were approaching me, making me panic.

I gave it my all for as long as I could and my ammo was slowly running out, I was getting tired and losing the will to continue fighting but I had to keep trying, I remained hopeful that maybe I will see my family again if I survive long enough but I was only human, I did as much as I possibly could to live and yet I was totally out numbered and there was no way in hell I could capture an entire space ship all by myself without being tracked down.

This was probably the place I was going to die in....

They were swarming at this point so I needed to get to another position before i would be over run, as I was running to another location that would've given me better cover, I was shot in the leg and fell to the ground In pain clutching my leg, I didn't have any time to myself and I was forced to pick up my pistol and shoot at the synths fast approaching. I tried to stand up and get out of the open but all I could do was crawl backwards shooting till my clip was gone.

I shot six getting close to me and then, one of them got a nice little shot and it managed to hit my right arm, causing me to fall down. Before I knew it I'm lying on the ground looking up and seeing those black suited Synths pointing their pulse rifles at me. There was no way I was going to be locked up in some room for several hours, made into some host or interrogated to reveal where my family was going, I wanted to be the one who chose his fate and not let someone else do it for me....But my choice would get me killed...Better then being captured I suppose... So I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small detonator thinking about only one important person in my life and apologizing to her before i clicked it.

"See You....In Hell..." All I saw was white after that...............................................

Weyland Yutani Synths Slowly responded after shooting their target and held their weapons firmly over him as they waited for orders, "Bring him back to us alive, we need to know where Eden and the rest of her hive's location" was what they heard from their commanding officer before they seen the detonator in his hands and clicking it, upon seeing it they opened fire as the traitor said what would be his last words....But it seemed that the detonator was a dud and didn't go off as the traitor was thinking.

Later, The Phoenix Legion re-grouped with the synths and patrolled the area to look for the aliens as they were currently planning on taking the body and bringing it back to the ship and waiting for further orders, but to the misfortune of two scouts searching for the aliens they found a ton of c4 hooked up in the basement with a timer going off, the last thing they saw underneath the clock was a picture of their target flipping off who ever took the picture....Almost as if giving the bird to the two not so lucky soldiers.....

The Explosion was large enough to destroy the entire area, Killing the Synths, A Division of the Phoenix Legion and destroy several warhawks and dropships as well. After the dust settled, A Weyland Yutani crew began to survey the damage caused and had to pull bodies and samples they collected before leaving the area. The body of the Traitor couldn't be found and was assumed by experts to have been destroyed during the explosion.

Lee 'Crowe' Moone, former Lieutenant of the Blood Raven division managed to take out a large army that was sent to capture both him and the Xenomorph that was taken from Oliva Station and find out exactly why this Soldier who shown a lot of promise in becoming a Colonial Marine decided to help free the creature, But it will never be known where the Xenomorph is with the only witness who last saw it dead.

The Moone Family, Lee's Children and Wife were able to survive thanks to Karen's pilot skills and land successfully on the Planet Zarria. But Xeena was a completely broken shell because she could feel her husband and Soul Mate no longer alive, She was shocked at his decision to stay behind and die in combat but she knew the real reason why he stayed and allowed them to leave him behind, his friends once did it for him and he did it for her and their children.

He Defended his Family and bought them time to escape while he fought to the very end to make sure they live a life free from the Company and never fear losing or be captured ever again.....

Xeena doesn't care how many years go by or how old she would be, She will always love Lee with all her heart and will wait till the very day she dies so they can finally meet once again.

After all, he saved them so they can live a longer life and Xeena believed he deserved to be properly thanked by her for saving their children.....Where ever he ends up......She hopes she'll be there with him...."


Now I know I promised I wouldn't do any more sad stuff, but it was on a night a week ago where I was really bored and began to make this epic looking poster, I then realized what I made so i knew i had to release it because this has to be my favorite poster I've ever done, I can see it being a movie cover or something because it's that cool looking...

This story is unique because if you look back on it you can see certain mistakes that were made and not thought of because it was one of those in the moment things, not enough rockets, not going with his family when it was possible he might survive just following them down in the tunnels. To explain it is simple, it's pretty much being thrown into a moment, people make a lot of mistakes in panic and this here is proof of it.

Lee could have easily survived if he made better decisions and thought about it for a second then just think fast and go with it. I believe the Lee we all know would go with his family and blow up the basement so the company cannot follow them in the tunnel...They would send air strikes to destroy the house which may be a better distraction and allow them to board the Liverpool and leave the planet, they might have to lose the people chasing them though but with their luck they will escape and live on Zarria for the rest of Lee's life..

What do you think? could Lee have survived? or would something even far worse happen? let me know because I'm interested in what people think.

The poster is epic indeed and would surely work as a movie poster. This whole atmosphere of war and destruction gives more than a hint on the drama that actually took place. 

Yes, Lee would've survived if he'd followed Xeena and the others to the Liverpool, because with enough explosives he would have blown everything to hell that Wey-Yu had brought along. He wouldn't have broken Xeena's heart and their life would've continued. But... that's just not how Lee is. He's the sort of person who'd rather die in a battle than running away. He believed to do the right thing, and as he hadn't much time to decide, the decision was made by the warrior in him. 

Still... If he had had the time to overthink his
decision at least once, he would've gone with Xeena. Letting her and his daughters go must've been the hardest decision ever. I wish he would've gone to the Liverpool with them to live a few decades longer and die of a natural death in Xeena's arms. Then again, Xeena would've been devastated either way.
