[michime]

The mantis let out a series of loud chirps like he was signalling for others or signalling his triumph over the intruder.  He ignored the alien's struggles easily enough since the struggling alien's arms and legs where held tight by the roots.  The mantis landed on top of the alien's body using his weight to trap the creature underneath him.  He moved his abdomen up and down getting himself into the perfect position.  Once he was sure the alien wouldn't escape, he bit the creature's shoulder before he injected his prey with some kind of venom. 

"Mate, mine, breed," the words cycled in the air as the mantis pulled his stringer out of Khell just a bit then pushed it back in.  He did this a few more times to loose the tight muscles then the stringer locked in place.  "I will give you my eggs now," the mantis stated even though his mouth didn't move at all.  'You will carry them." 

The tip of the mantis' stringer opened up spreading Khell even wider before a rattling sound started coming from the mantis.  "My eggs are moving toward you."  He explained as the rattling grew louder and louder.
