Go to the security room

"We need to get to the safe room. It's the safest option." stated Elizabeth.

Except for Doc, the other girls nodded. She was convinced that if they wanted to stand a chance against that thing they needed the black symbiote.

"What do we do about Tiana?" Helen asked with some hesitation.

They all turned to look at the bed where the woman lay.

"I think we can leave her alone." proposed the captain "It's not a danger for her because she's sedated and Nata... that thing is looking for Laura and me, so being away from her is going to be the best thing."

"And if Natasha has the same idea?" interjected Valentina more pessimistically.

"She might make it her mission to go after the other symbiote before us, she needs it for more power." Laura, understanding what her companion was up to, added.

"That doesn't matter now." Christen said determined "What matters is that we have to act and soon."

The five of them left for the security room with some trepidation.

To their good fortune, they arrived without incident and were pleasantly surprised to find that Natasha had not left the room where it had all started.

"What is she doing?" Helen looked at the screen in confusion.

"I think she's in the middle of a masturbation session." Doc stressed as, with her finger, she pointed to the various tentacles moving back and forth across her body.

"You're trying to take over a ship by masturbating? I understand that symbiotes have sexual tendencies, but this is already over the top." remarked Christen to then let out a small laugh.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Laura who was making her way through the group of women.

"I think it's feeding the symbiote." she mentioned somewhat worried.

"If so then we're going to ruin the party for her." pronounced the redhead taking control "So, if we do this and touch this..." she muttered as she pressed several buttons "Aha!"

Suddenly an alarm began to sound and that room was filled with red and white flashes. Through the security cameras they watched as the symbiote detached itself from Natasha's body.

"We've got her!" celebrated Laura with a certain calmness.

"Now to separate that thing from our partner and lock it up!" ordered Elizabeth.

They all nodded confidently at that order.

"You go ahead. I'll keep watch." warned Helen to then look at her girlfriend who looked somewhat reassured to see that her partner wasn't going to accompany her "Be careful."

"Yes my love." she gave him a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Everyone grab a communicator and let's go." ordered the captain.

After doing so, the four girls left the room and began to walk the corridors of the ship.

"We need to go to my lab to get a tank." said Doc as they kept moving.

"We should also go to the armory. If that thing is **** to sound we can use our stun guns." added Laura.

"I'll get the weapons." volunteered the pilot.

"I'll go with you." came the second her co-pilot.

Suddenly Elizabeth stopped and grabbed the redhead by the arm.

"Be careful. Yes?"

A smile broke out on her companion's lips.

"Easy, my queen, don't worry about me. Your noble knight will return safe and sound to protect you accordingly."

"You are an idiot." she copied the same gesture foolishly with a certain blush on her face.

"But you love me." she winked at him.

She ran off being followed by her co-pilot leaving the blonde with her gaze riveted on her.

"Yes...yes I do." she said softly with a hint of love and sadness in her tone.

Quickly the duo headed for the lab.

"Let's take that one." she pointed to a tank large enough to carry with their hands.

"And if we take the gravity gloves?" the captain proposed.

"In the lab I only have my own. Besides I don't think we can use them since they only work on solid objects."

"Give them to me, I'd rather know we have something just in case."

Doc started going through her cluttered desk until she could find them under a pile of papers. Looking up, Valentina came face to face with the symbiote that was desperately struggling to get out. Something inside her told her that she had to set it free, that they were going to need it.

"Doc! Come on!" insisted the blonde knowing what her partner was doing.

Refocusing she handed her gloves to the captain and, after taking the container, they headed towards where Natasha was.

When they reached the door that separated them from the creature they were met with a somewhat peculiar situation. The symbiote was going in and out of its carrier's body through all its orifices, trying to find some place in its carrier's body where the **** could not reach her. The red-haired girl did not look much better. Because of her connection to the red slime the suffering it endured affected her in equal measure leaving her kneeling on the ground clutching her head.

"We have eyes on the target." advised Elizabeth over the comm to her other teammates.

"Roger that, we're on our way." replied Christen "Don't do anything stupid."

"Of course not, we'll leave that all up to you." the blonde replied.

The duo looked at each other and then pressed the button that allowed them access to the place. With **** caution they approached towards Natasha only to realize that she was still submerged in her trance of pain.

"Any plans on how we're going to get the symbiote out of her?" consulted Valentina.

"We're not going to get the symbiote out of her. We're going to take her out of the symbiote."

She raised the gravity gloves and focused them on her partner's body.

"You said the glove is no good on liquid stuff, so let's go for solid."

He activated the device grabbing Natasha and began to move her away from the alien creature. The red-haired woman screamed and kicked as she felt her connection with that being being was being lost every time a tentacle was detached from her body. After a couple of minutes Elizabeth was finally able to free her partner from the control of that creature leaving her lying naked on the floor on the side.

"What did they do? WHAT DID THEY DO?" she complained angrily.

"Free you. That's what we did."

Suddenly everything in the place was back to normal. There were no more loud sounds and the lights had taken on their continued coolness.

"This can't be good." muttered Elizabeth under her breath.

"Helen!" shouted Valentina over her communicator without receiving any response from her girlfriend.

"Doc, I think we have bigger problems ourselves." the blonde pointed to where the creature was.

In front of them the symbiote began to rise to a terrifying size.

Nothing good was about to happen.
