ShadowHawk: hey folks here is brand new fic that Ominae agreed to workwith me on;) I thought to myself after viewing several Martin Mystery shows have the Predator in it. I mean we do see some the other aliens work for the Center. Any ways enjoy the fic.

Ominae: Hey, folks! Ominae here! ShadowHawk e-mailed me a few days ago and asked if I could help him do an MM story featuring the Predator since he read and reviewed my first MM story, Martin Mystery: New Allies. Also, military-trained Center agent Mark Sy is here too to join the agents at the request of ShadowHawk himself. I'm actually quite hesitant to do this at first due to my school life. But with some time off, I finally agreed to do this first chapter. Hope you guys like it! ;) Do check up on my latest MM story, Tangling with Shadowlaw and please do review. I get frustrated when I have little reviews.

ShadowHawk: He's not Kidding folks! ;)

ShadowHawk: I'll explain the weapons that my predator will be using in his hunt for human trophies. (For those who have played Predator: Concrete Jungle for PS2 or X-Box should know what they look like)

Wrist Blades

Two blades of equal length placed inside a metal type gauntlet worn on either the right or left wrist. This is a weapon "all" yautja equip themselves with that can only be used for close range fighting. When sheathed, the blades are unnoticeable. Balling the fists unsheathes them as opening the fist retracts them. Two more attributes are, the blades can double in length when the fist remains balled for a certain period of time, and on the first unsheathing the top of the wrist blades gauntlet can be cocked back, once, and once balling the fists again can propel the two blades through the air as deadly darts.

Shoulder Plasma Caster

A firing weapon placed upon the right or left shoulder. The usual weapon desired by all yautja for long range attacks following the movement of the wearer's head turning 180 degrees firing single but powerful plasma bursts

Combat Spear / Glaive

A spear usually made of wood and metal or just metal that is hung from the back. It is mostly used by the experienced hunters for close combat but can be used for long ranges if it were to be thrown as a javelin. The staff can be made of wood or metal with two large, vicious looking spear heads placed on the ends of the staff made of metal.

Telescoping Spear / Combat Staff / Combistick

A compact spear entirely made of metal that is hung from the back. This weapon is desired by most yautja and used for close range fighting but can be used as a long range weapon like the Combat Spear. It is self powered and can extend from it's compact length of one meter to two meters, a useful and deadly weapon, both ends are sharp that can slice through just about any material and can produce electrical charges when coming in contact with it's target.

Maul

A heavy weapon of blades and spikes, it's powerful spinning and crushing blows can penetrate even the strongest of defenses. It can kill a human in a single blow. The Maul is the most vicious melee weapon in the Yatuja's arsenal.

Shuriken

Like the smart Disc, this deadly weapon will come back, if it doesn't become lodged in a surface. Upon viewing this weapon sheathed it is just a flat device, but pressing it's surface projects six deadly blades looking like a star. It can cut through just about anything and impervious to acid.

Speargun

The Speargun is similar to a sniper rifle and can be fired from great distances, instantly killing victims. It can also attach their flesh, like a nail-gun, to a wall or solid area. It is the perfect silent ranged weapon, capable of firing multiple projectiles at opponents.

NetGun

The most gruesome and torturesome device in the yautja's arsenal. Used by some yautja that projects a metal net at it's target, the netting itself is sharp metal made of strong materials and is usually successful in capturing it's target pinning the victim to a wall or flat surface. On the edges of the net which connects itself to the flat surface are drills that not only connects itself to the surface but also winds the netting tighter and tighter until the victim dies. Though this deadly netting is only big enough to capture a fully matured human or something smaller. An older version of the netgun, number 7 on the full predator picture, was handheld. But now it is secured on the top side of the Self-Destruct Sequence gauntlet, a ball of the fist will send out one ball of net.

Self-Destruct Sequence

This device is worn by "all" yautja on the opposite side of the Wrist Blades, whether it is right or left. There are other added attributes to this device such as the mechanism that controls the thermostat of the wearer's suit, it's camouflage, heated 3-D map, and others. But it's main purpose is self destruct when a yautja has failed in a hunt or is close to being captured by it's target or enemy. The small device produces a large explosion that can wipe out ten city blocks. Also the top half of this part of the gauntlet can be taken off while the detenation is in the process of "counting down".

Chapter 1: Thrill of the Hunt

Predator MotherShip, outside Solar System - 2:00 A.M.

The Celtic Yautja named Kahless will be given a task that he shouldn't fail. He must collect as many worthy human skulls. He must survive this task in order to prove himself that he is a true Hunter, a true Warrior, and a true Predator. So the Yautjas prepared his weapons. Which includes his Wristblades, Shuriken, Netgun, Retractable Combi-Stick, Maul, Speargun, Retractable Glaive and his Plasma Caster.

He also had with him the Self-Destruct device in case his mission ends in failure. At lest he would die honorably. Kahless will be launched to Earth after daylight. Kahless checks and prepares his weapons. The Yautjas escort Kahless to the Drop Pod (Seen in AVP Movie). Kahless then operates and gives the coordinations and the location of the hunting ground located in Mexico.

Outskirts of Mexico City - 2:20 A.M.

Darkness falls, the Yautja mothership launches the Pod with Kahless in it. The pod crashes down to Earth and is on land, now the hunt begins.

The Center, unknown location, somewhere in Canada - 9:30 A.M.

It was a usual day in the Center with personnel doing their everyday duty, monitoring their computers to make sure that the Earth is safe from paranormal or supernatural threats. A blue portal then materialized with 3 person walking out from their original location, which was one of the empty lockers from a deserted corridor in Torrington Academy, where Martin Mystery and Diana Lombard are students while Java was employed by the school as a janitor, cafeteria cook and gardener.

When the trio stepped on the moving walkway, two laser scanners appeared from the floor and began to emit a red beam that scanned the bodies of Martin, Diana and Java. With that done, the walkway temporarily stopped as a palm reader.

One by one, the three Center operatives began to place their own palm at the machine, which allowed it to check up on their unique signature to see if it matches with their official profile.

"Martin Mystery, clear"

"Diana Lombard, Clear"

"Java the Caveman, clear"

A familiar green alien in his hoverchair soon came around the corner as soon as basic security checks were performed on the three operatives. Billy was his name and among his tasks was to greet arriving Center agents and escort them to M.O.M.'s office since he is her personal secretary also.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey, Billy!"

Martin and Billy began to do their usual handshake, which made Diana a little irritated because she believed that Martin was influencing Billy too much.

"So Martin, how's it going with Jenny?" asked Billy while grinning.

"She's playing hard to get." replied Martin, smiling.

"Oh, brother!" huffed Diana with an angry face. Java couldn't do anything, but snicker instead.

Eventually, the moving walkway ended as it connected itself near the steps. From there, the three agents and Billy went inside the transparent elevator, taking them all the way to M.O.M.'s office on the top floor.

After the elevator stopped outside M.O.M.'s office, M.O.M. was typing in her computer before taking her eyes off the screen to welcome the newly arrived agents.

"Billy, please leave us for a while."

"Yes, M.O.M.!" Billy then left the office and entered the translucent elevator back to the ground floor.

"Morning, agents!" M.O.M. stood up and showed them to their seats.

"Today, you'll be heading to Mexico City."

"What's the news?" asked Martin, confused at her orders.

"The Mexican military has been called in to investigate a crash landing by a strange alien ship that was reported to them by the local police." M.O.M. took out a remote and pressed its red button, showing off a projector from the ceiling with the projector screen as well.

"But wouldn't Mexican troops take care of it by now?" wondered Diana as well. M.O.M. pressed the button again, showing off the alien ship that smashed itself near a rock.

In the background, it was shown to be the outskirts of Mexico City.

"That's the main problem. Mexican army officers have reported to us that they've sent some troops to check up on the strange alien ship. Apparently, they were massacred on site one by one while the soldiers tried to fight back."

"Do they know who or what it was?" inquired Martin.

"Unfortunately, no. The soldiers, before they were killed, said that they were fighting an unseen creature. This is bugging the Mexican armed forces for the meantime." answered M.O.M. with a worried face.

"In other words, it was using a stealth unit." came a voice from outside M.O.M.'s face.

The doors opened up and Billy hovered inside, followed by Mark Sy, one of the Center's most elite military-trained agents.

He was apparently summoned by the Center after taking a break from fighting terrorists back in the Philippines. "Hello, Mark. You'll be working with Martin, Diana and Java on this case." M.O.M. then handed a folder to Billy.

"Of course, M.O.M." Billy hovered near and handed the folder to Mark.

"This case would be most interesting to me." Mark leafed through the folder, checking it for interesting content.

"So when do we leave?" asked Martin while stretching in his chair.

"Right now." Billy pressed one of the buttons on his hoverchair console, opening a portal near M.O.M.'s office doors.

"Your liason will be Captain Rodrigo Gomez of the Mexican Army. His bio data is in the folder that I've gave Mark." M.O.M. then gestured to do a "go now" gesture with one of her hands. "Off you agents and good luck!"

"Mark!" yelled Billy. "Don't forget, we'll hand it your equipment once you made contact with Captain Gomez."

"Thanks, Billy." Mark gave a mock salute to the green alien before entering the portal. Martin, Diana and Java soon joined him and with that, the four Center operatives disappared from M.O.M.'s office and the portal faded away from her sight. "I just hope that the agents will be careful this time." pondered M.O.M. for a few seconds before resuming her computer work while Billy left her office to check up on the other Center employees in the base.
