Screen fades in, and we see stars everywhere.

The Sulaco logo appears and we see the Sulaco flying through space, a little away from a blue planet.

We see a fully grown ALIEN, bleeding acid blood onto the Sulaco's floor. We get a shot of BISHOP, lying in his tube legless. HICKS bandaged like at the end of ALIENS. RIPLEY the same as she was at the end of ALIENS. The screen slides slowly to NEWT's tube where she is fast asleep. The ALIEN appears in the background, lying on the floor. Drops of acid are coming from its chest. It walks closer and closer to NEWT's tube, leaving acid behind it, which eats away the ground. Its head presses against NEWT's tube. The ALIEN opens its mouth and its second jaw appears and opens slowly.

A small fire is coming from the trail of acid the ALIEN has started. The ALIEN turns its head towards it. We see it looking at the fire.

The ALIEN turns back to face NEWT, and using its extra teeth, smashes through the glass of the tube. Then the alarm goes off and a voice comes from a speaker.

WARNING, WARNING. Hypersleep interrupted. Fire in sector 5G. Commencing emergency evacuation for hypersleep.

The ALIEN starts to roar and yell out in pain. It starts rolling fast on the floor, closer and closer to the fire. When mere inches away from the fire, the ALIEN stop moving and gives one last yell before its acid blood flies everywhere from the ALIEN's chest. It falls to the ground, its chest open and emerging from it is a chestbuster. This one was different from the rest; it has thicker skin and spikes on its long hairless back. Four small arms are visible, each with three sharp little claws.

The chestbuster silvers its way up onto NEWT's broken tube, and it slivers right up to NEWT's face. Then suddenly, before the chestbuster can do anything, a black webbed facehugger put itsself upon on NEWT, putting its long tail twice around NEWT's throat. {This is only seen as an x-ray like in ALIEN3}

The same evacuation process that was in ALIEN3 happens now, only a chestbuster was with them, next to NEWT.

The ship gains speed, and we see from a far away view the ship crash into the ocean.

Crash Land, on planet Fiorina (Fury) 161 disengaging three survivors.

Three cryotubes disconnect from the crashed E.E.V, floating and hitting on a windy, cold sandy beach.

The same as in ALIEN3 assembly cut, we see the surroundings of the prison. CLEMENS is running down as fast as he can to the cryotubes. CLEMENS comes to a halt of the cryotubes, and the one he was facing with a small crack in the glass opened upwards. It was flooded with water and NEWT was in there. CLEMENS acts quickly, he pulls out NEWT, and starts running with her, {like he did with RIPLEY} back to the prison. Once inside he sees two bald headed men.

CLEMENS: A military escape ship has crashed landed. There are two others down on the beach. Get them and bring them here...NOW!

They take a glance at NEWT and run off.

CLEMENS takes NEWT into a room and lays her on a bed. CLEMENS was worries she might have drowned and quickly starts to treat her. She had not drowned, she was alive but barely. She is out cold and is freezing except from the face. He covers her with blankets while one of the men who was sent to get the remaining survivors comes back. He is carrying RIPLEY, his hand on her ass.

CLEMENS: FOR GOD SAKE, GREGOR. Give her to me!

GREGOR with a dirty smile does as he was told and CLEMENS carries her to the room next door, placing her on another bed.

CLEMENS: There was another one. Where's JUNIOR?

GREGOR: Oh you know JUNIOR, if the other survivor is another girl...

CLEMENS: FOR GOD SAKE. These are people's lives!

But just then JUNIOR walks in holding in his arms HICKS. We get a close up and he still has his bandages on, looking the same as he was at the end of ALIENS.

JUNIOR: This is the last one

CLEMENS: Go and inform ANDREWS now!

JUNIOR: Fuck you. I don't take orders from you

CLEMENS: Go now or I'll--

GREGOR: Or you'll do what?

CLEMENS: Look, do this for me and I'll give you a good word with AARON. You'll get more cigars or something... just, please hurry.

JUNIOR: Fine we'll go; you better give us a good word to 85.

CLEMENS: 85?

JUNIOR: AARON...

JUNIOR and GREGOR left the room muttering to each other.

We see outside, dozens of ox pulling the crashed E.E.V. On the right hand side, we get a look into the E.E.V and we see BISHOP's half body on the floor smashed up. Go into, a large room with many floors. Prisoners are everywhere, eating, smoking, and talking.

AARON: Alright people, settle down, settle down... Mr. Dillon.

DILLON walks into the center of the room, hands together head down. The prisoners do the same.

DILLON: Oh god, give us strength through this hard and difficult time that lies ahead of us. Amen.

EVERYONE: Amen

ANDREWS: All right people listen up, here are the facts. At approximately 0700 hours and E.E.V crashed landed. Three survived and a droid hopelessly destroyed beyond repair. One of the survivors is a marine, a corporal. He has been burned quite badly on one side of his chest and partly on the side of his face. I want you all to try and stay away from him until the rescue team arrives in about one week's time. I don't want Weyland not giving us supplies for a month just because you killed some corporal.

The prisoners start talking.

ANDREWS: Another survivor is a child, around the age of eight. The child is a girl...

GOLIC: A sweet little girl? I haven't seen one in ages... or touched one.

Everyone was looking around, giving each other a dirty grin.

DILLON: GOLIC remember...

GOLIC smiles at DILLON.

BOGGS: God I hate you GOLIC, such a piece of shit. As for me, I like my ladies not some stupid girl. Hate girls. Gave me such a hard time when I kidnapped them...

RAINS: I know what you mean, they make it so hard to make them take drugs.

ANDREWS: If any of you touch her I will see to it you go back to Earth with all the other child molesters in their prisons. Thirdly, the last survivor is a women... a lieutenant.

Everyone started to talk and Laugh an evil laugh.

ANDREWS: I know what you are feeling right now and I want you to all know this will be all over in a week or so. In the mean time I hope we can all hold ourselves together through this hard time.

MORSE: I would like to say that I am in this prison for rape and so are my friends here.

Everyone grins.

DILLON: What Brother means to say is we view the presence of an outsider a disgrace, especially a woman.

AARON: We are aware of that Mr. DILLON as we have said and it will be dealt with.

GOLIC: Mr. AARON, we are aware that you are a company man and if you have lied to us you will be dealt with.

ANDREWS: Mr. GOLIC, if I hear another word from you you'll go without a smoke for two months. Now shut the hell up.

ANDREWS looked at CLEMENS.

AARON: How are they?

CLEMENS: Well they seem to be all right. The corporal and the lieutenant seem fine. They should be coming around as we speak. As for the girl, she has a lot of water inside her; she almost drowned. I think maybe a day or so until she comes around...

ANDREWS: It's to everyone's benefit if no one sees them apart from you, me and Mr. AARON. Agreed?

CLEMENS: Yes of course.

Screen goes to HICKS lying in his bed.

HICKS: Uhhhhh

HICKS rolls over on his bed; his one eye that is not bandaged, closed. He puts his hand on top of his head and starts to cough.

HICKS: Ow shit, what the fuck?

He grabs the side of his chest with bandages on. He opens the eye that isn't bandaged. He starts to breathe faster and faster as he pulls off his bed covers. He has his army pants on.

HICKS: Shhhhhhit.

He grabs onto his injured shoulder and starts to stretch it. He then rips off the bandages to see that from his shoulder down to his elbow was heavily scared by burns. He rips off the bandage on his chest to see that the side which was bandaged is completely burnt. HICKS runs his hand gently up his elbow to his shoulder; his face in shock.

HICKS: Oh...my...god.

He then moves his face so that he was looking at a door.

HICKS: Hudson...Vasquez...NEWT...RIPLEY...RIPLEY...ELLEN, ELLEN!

The door opens and in comes GREGOR and CLEMENS. HICKS look at them.

HICKS: Who are you? Where am I?

GREGOR: You're in hell, mate.

HICKS: Don't play fucking games with me where the fuck am I?

GREGOR: Watch your mouth, you nasty fucker

HICKS: Are you looking for a fight?

GREGOR: I think I've just found me one.

CLEMENS: GREGOR please, Corporal Dwayne HICKS has just crash landed. I need to explain to him what has happened. Please leave.

GREGOR: Fine, by the way... nice arm there.

HICKS: Can't say the same about your face.

They gave each other a look of hatred, and then GREGOR left the room.

CLEMENS: Right, now that he's gone please Corporal, sit down.

HICKS: Where am I?

He did not sit down. CLEMENS sighs.

CLEMENS: If I must, but GREGOR was right, you are in hell. This is a prison. You crashed landed here from wherever you came from in an E.E.V. Over twenty prisoners are here, all sentenced to life imprisonment.

HICKS: Where are the other three, Ellen, NEWT and BISHOP?

CLEMENS: By Ellen I assumne you mean RIPLEY, in which case she is here two rooms to the left of us.

HICKS: Is she alive?

CLEMENS: She's unconscious but she will live. She should awaken shortly.

HICKS: What about NEWT and BISHOP?

CLEMENS: I am sorry but I don't know which is which, but a droid has been found smashed in your E.E.V and a little girl about eight is out cold but she will live.

HICKS: BISHOP... can he not be repaired?

CLEMENS: Unlikely and most certainly not here.

HICKS: Why not here? Why am I here? Why am I not in a hospital or something?

CLEMENS: We don't have hospitals. I'm the doctor of this prison.

HICKS: I'm on a prison rock?

CLEMENS: Not a rock, a planet Fiorina 161.

HICKS: We're not on Earth?

CLEMENS: No but there is a rescue team on the way to take you back to Earth, in about a week's time.

HICKS: Oh my god...

CLEMENS: I'll have to give you an injection. It'll make all the drowsiness go away and make the pain in your arm less painful. We will have to check also if your wounds are okay behind that eye patch.

HICKS rips off the bandage revealing burns on his left hand side of his face above the cheek. HICKS blinks and we see a small scar across his eye, once he has blinked.

HICKS: That bad?

CLEMENS: I've seen worse, you're going to have to shave your hair, because of the lice.

HICKS: No thanks I think I'll just shower a lot. I want to see RIPLEY and NEWT.

CLEMENS looked at him, then took out a needle and injected it into HICKS. HICKS showed no sign of it bothering him.

CLEMENS: Come with me then.

They go through a long corridor, HICKS sees prisoners staring at him and talking about him. They come to a door. CLEMENS twists the door handle and opens the door. RIPLEY is inside on top of a bed, breathing slowly.

HICKS: Could I have a moment please.

CLEMENS: If you wish. Is she your wife?

HICKS: No.

CLEMENS nods to him and closes the door behind him. HICKS walks over and sits on a chair next to RIPLEY.

HICKS: RIPLEY...RIPLEY... Ellen.

RIPLEY: Uhhhhh N...Ne...NEWT.

HICKS: No Ellen {grabbing her hands} it's me... Dwayne.

RIPLEY: Dwayne...HICKS.

She opens her eyes and sees HICKS' face.

RIPLEY: HICKS...your face {cough} {cough}.

She puts an arm out and strokes his scarred face.

RIPLEY: Those bitches...but we got them HICKS...we got them.

HICKS smiles to RIPLEY and she smiles back. Then his face fills with fear.

RIPLEY: HICKS, NEWT!

HICKS: It's all right, Ellen. She's in the other room. Next to us.

RIPLEY: I have to see her. I have to know she's alright.

She makes to stand up but suddenly her leg gives way and she falls onto HICKS.

RIPLEY: Ow shit that bitch.

HICKS: What bitch?

RIPLEY: I'll tell you later I just have to... OW.

Her leg gives way again, and she flings her arms around HICKS to stop from falling over. Their faces are inches away from each other, they stare at each other. HICKS moves forward, so does RIPLEY. They are mere millimeters apart when the door opens and CLEMENS comes in the room. He stands there watching them. RIPLEY gets up and walks slowly to CLEMENS.

CLEMENS: Hello, I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you. My name is CLEMENS and I am the doctor of this prison.

RIPLEY: Prison?

But just then a loud screaming noise is heard from the corridor.

RIPLEY looks at HICKS and HICKS looks at her. CLEMENS turns sideways to look down the corridor but HICKS is already running down the corridor, and he sees GREGOR and another man {JUNIOR} bending over and struggling to hold something.

GREGOR: Just grab the bitch for god sake!

JUNIOR: What do you think I'm trying to do?

HICKS runs towards them.

NEWT: RIPLEY!

JUNIOR gives a grin and gives NEWT a little spank on the butt as does GREGOR. They grin at each other.

GREGOR: For old time's sake.

JUNIOR: I agree.

HICKS is now behind them, their backs to him and before they even touch NEWT again HICKS has both of their heads and slams them together. They stagger and turn around, their hands on the spot where they had hit each other. HICKS grabs JUNIOR by the hand and spins him around. There is a click and JUNIOR lets out a yell of pain, falling to the ground. He tries to get back up but CLEMENS and MORSE pin him to the ground.

RIPLEY is now behind HICKS.

RIPLEY: NEWT! Come here!

NEWT runs across to RIPLEY but GREGOR grabs her by the wrist. As soon as he does so, HICKS pulleds back and hits GREGOR in the face with his fist. HICKS gives a short yell of pain, his whole arm was hurting because he had used his burnt arm and had stretched it too far. GREGOR spins around, and his nose is bleeding; HICKS had broken it. NEWT runs across the room and now hides behind RIPLEY. GREGOR runs towards HICKS, who is now on his knees, the pain too much. HICKS sees him coming and using what he has learned from his military training, sticks out his leg, and spins it around hitting GREGOR's leg. GREGOR falls flat onto his face on the ground but rolls over and attempts to get up. But HICKS elbows him with his burnt elbow, right into the stomach. GREGOR is winded and does not attempt to get back up. HICKS' arm is hurting like mad now; he picks himself up. NEWT and RIPLEY run over to him but JUNIOR has broken free of CLEMENS and MORSE and is walking towards HICKS. RIPLEY runs up to JUNIOR and hits him in the around the face. A tooth flies out of JUNIOR's mouth and he falls to the ground.

RIPLEY: Are you all right NEWT?

NEWT: I thought I'd lost you again...

RIPLEY: I'm here now. I'm sorry NEWT.

She huggs her and runs over to HICKS, who is looking at GREGOR.

HICKS: Still like my arm, huh?

GREGOR says nothing.

RIPLEY: are you okay, HICKS?

HICKS: I'm fine, Ellen.

CLEMENS comes over.

HICKS: Thanks...

CLEMENS: You're welcome. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have trusted them. Please forgive me, NEWT.

NEWT: Only my friends are allowed to call me NEWT... Call me Rebecca.

RIPLEY: I'm sorry CLEMENS, NEWT does forgive you...don't you, NEWT?

NEWT: No. They did mean things to me. They hurt me because he told them to.

RIPLEY: No NEWT he told them to go get you so you could see me. They are the bad people.

NEWT just holds RIPLEY's hand and coughs slightly. RIPLEY mouths the word 'sorry' to CLEMENS, and he nods.

HICKS: Thanks also to you...

MORSE just stares at NEWT, not blinking, and then he turns around and heads up the stairs but the stairs are blocked, however, by AARON, ANDREWS and a man called MURPHY who has a dog with him. They walked past MORSE, who seems keen to stay now. He has a slight grin on his face. The dog barks and runs over to NEWT, and starts to lick her. NEWT pats the dog. The dog suddenly stops barking and runs far down the corridor.

MURPHY: Spike!

And he too follows him. ANDREWS cleared his throat.

ANDREWS: I am Mr. ANDREWS. I am in command of this prison. You will be gone from this prison with in a week or so. You should remain inside your rooms until the rescue team arrives, so that we can avoid events like this.

RIPLEY: Why will it take so long for them to rescue us?

ANDREWS: I'm guessing that Mr. CLEMENS has not told you where you are or how you got here.

NEWT: RIPLEY, where are we?

HICKS: NEWT, honey, why don't you come with me. We can wait for RIPLEY in the other room.

NEWT looks at HICKS then and she lets go of RIPLEY's hand and grabs HICKS'. They go inside the room where RIPLEY was in her bed.

RIPLEY: So you gonna tell me or not?

ANDREWS: You are on Fury 161 maximum security planet. There are rapist, killers, child molesters here.. and the worst people of mankind.

RIPLEY: Fuck...

ANDREWS: Mr. CLEMENS will stay with you during your visit to keep out of trouble. That will be all. I hope you enjoy your stay.

RIPLEY: Hard not to.

He turns around and goes up the stairs as did AARON. RIPLEY looked at CLEMENS and he looks back.

RIPLEY: So you're a prisoner too?

CLEMENS: NO.

RIPLEY: But you have a barcode on the back of your head.

CLEMENS: We should get you and your other two friends a shave because of all the lice. You might have to shave your personal parts as well.

RIPLEY: That's not very fair to a girl to have her shave her head.

CLEMENS: She can take some of my special hair spray, it won't stop the itching completely but it will do. I only have enough for one...

MURPHY is running after spike.

MURPHY: Shit...SPIKE...SPIKE!

He is in a dark tunnel, with water ankle deep. He can hear the water flowing powerful and fast in the large tunnel next to his.

MURPHY: Shit...the water pipes have broken.

A huge fan is visible at the end. He runs down until he is a few feet away from the fan. He looks to face the wall blocking his tunnel and the water tunnel. He bends down and sees water coming out of a small hole, which he could have fitted his head through. There are burns around the hole.

MURPHY: Fuck! We could have a flood if we aren't careful...probably that dick GOLIC.

A small whinning noise comes from behind MURPHY. He jumps and spins around to see Spike hiding in the shadows.

MURPHY: Spike! There you are, you okay?

He goes over and pulls the dog that was lying on the ground, out of the shadows. He yells with fear, because what he has just seen is a black facehugger attached to Spike; its long tail wrapped around Spike.

MURPHY: SPIKE!

He crawls closer and turns spike around, about to carry him. He lets go again in shock. Slimy, sticky grease was all over Spike. MURPHY ss stunned. He takes a flare out from his pocket. He lights it and the fire spreads light and reveals a small ALIEN Hive.

MURPHY: What...the...fuck...

He suddenly steps in what appears to be dead yellow skin, as if a snake has shed itself. He picks it up with one hand. Suddenly, a hissing sound is heard from above MURPHY. He looks up but all he sees is the top of the black hive. Then suddenly in such quick speed you can hardly see anything, MURPHY sees the hive move slightly, and then he sees a jaw open and out comes the ALIEN's second jaw. We can see the ALIEN's head slightly and it is different from the other ALIENs before. It has layers of hard skin, which was a cross between red, silver and black. It has a small black spike along its back. The ALIEN's teeth have slime coming from it. Dripping onto MURPHY's face.

MURPHY: Shit...

The ALIEN drops down onto all fours and we see by a quick glance that the ALIENs tail starts not at its waist but half way through it, it has not one but two long spiky tails, each with a sharp poisonous ends. It stabbs one tail into each into MURPHY's Knees. He yells with pain but a second later and the ALIEN has hit him around the face with its tails. He spins and falls to the ground, out cold. As the ALIEN drags him into the darkness, his flare rolls out of the shadows and into the now kneedeep water.
