Just then, the alien's hand moves, revealing the creature in the shuttle. Ripley runs and hides among the spacesuits and slowly slips into one.
Secure in the suit, she straps herself into a seat and uses the keyboard to blast the alien with gas from the pips.
The alien comes out spoiling for a fight, but Ripley opens the door. As the creature is blown toward space, it manages to grip the door frame. This thing does not want to die.
Ripley hits it with a harpoon gun sending it into the space. When the creature tries to crawl back into the ship through the engines, Ripley hits the throttle and finishes it off.
