Ch.1
The Amazon Rainforest,1958.
A trio of hunters armed with large elephant guns and dressed in white and grey hunting gear
They arrived in Eucador just the other day,showed their passports through costums,geared up and went to the local Amazon. Rumor has it that a rare albino jaguar was spotted roaming in the jungles of South America and Dirk Mcgirk well known hunter from the UK was going to be the one to bag it.
"On your toes boys,on your toes."said Dirk. "We're the first to locate that jaguar and i'm gonna be the first ever to mount that critter on my wall! And I sure as hell won't let that bloody Redeye Hawkins beat me to it!"
"Right on it sir."said Ted.
"We won't let you down sir."said Fred.
"Good,now...up ahead."said Dirk.
The green lush grass path led to a set of several paths that led deeper into the jungles they were in.
"Hmmmm...I thought this would happen..multiple pathways."he said. "All right boys,here's the plan. Fred,you take the left,Ted you take the right,and i'll naturally go ahead. And remember watch out for anything while we're here,any other animals,jungle natives,traps anything. Good work is so hard to find besides yours,got it."
"Yes sir."said the two men in unison.
"Brilliant,now onward."said Dirk.
The trio of hunters marched down through the pathways,ready for anything.
Ted carefully crept through the junglebrush,quietly stepping upon bushs and twigs that snapped under his boots.
Suddenly,he heard something rustling through the trees above him,and then...something fell near him.
"KRRASSSH!"
"AAAAAAAHH--WHAT?"he replied as he turned to see what it was.
Laying before him was the dead carcass of a vulture.
Ted lowered his gun and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hoo..boy!"he replied wiping brow. "Got to stay calm and be ready...for--"
Suddenly,a pair of hands came out of nowhere and grabbed him around the back of his neck.
"...anything?" were his last words before he was pulled upwards and into the darkness.
The rest was silence.
Fred meanwhile was searching around a slimy green moat filled with a few alligators.
"Yeah,you'd better stay in there ya bloody reptiles!"he snapped. "Or i'll make me mum a nice handbag outta ya."
Suddenly,he saw something in the bushes ahead of him,it was shrouded in darkness,but was crouching..like...
"A cat,a tiger--?"he said. "No---that's gotta be the rare jaguar itself! At last...i've found it!"
But no sooner than did Fred make his realization,did the tiger began to run away.
"Oh no ya don't!"he said as he took off around the moat and after it.
Fred aimed his gun and fired away at the tiger.
"BLAAMM!"
But despite his best aim,the bullet didn't even hit the fleeing animal.
Fred attempted to aim again,but before he could...
The animal vanished.
"Wha--what the bloody hell?"he said as he slowed down.
Fred was there,all alone in a field of grass with palm trees all around him.
"Aw dammit--I let it get away!"said Fred. "I'd better not slip this to Mr.Mcgirk..he'll have me looking elsewhere for employment. But..at least I know that the tiger really is here."
Suddenly,just as Fred walked underneath a nearby palm tree.
His foot was yanked and pulled upward along with the rest of his body.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH--WHAT IN THE BLOODY NAME OF SANITY?"he replied.
He had fallen into a classic rope from the tree trap.
"I don't believe this!"he said. "Oldest trick in the bloody book and I damn well fell for it,how stupid can I be?"
Suddenly,Fred heard a footfall,then another and another.
"Oi,is someone there,hello?"he called.
As if in answer,someone or..something grabbed Fred by the bottom of his throat and brandished a sort of--weapon with a loud clicking noise.
It was too dark to see who or what the stranger was...but he could see...a faint and shimmering glimmer,of a sort of metal.
"Eh--what are you--what do ya think you're bloody doing?"said Fred,now more addled than ever.
The stranger said nothing,instead he simply aimed the claw at the man's chest,pulled it back and then...
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"was all Fred could get out before he was gutted badly by the attacker.
All that left now was...Dirk himself.
The now lone hunter was quitely creeping through a large cliffside that led down to the rivers below.
"Errrgh...I shoulda known this was going to led me to a less--flat surface."he thought as he carefully walked across the cliffs.
"But no matter...i'll find that tiger--kill it and become Britain's greatest hunter ever--perhaps the wolrd itself,HAHA!"
Suddenly,something exploded in front of him where he stood.
"KAFLASH!"
"What the hell?"he said.
Looking up,and perched on the branch of a tree,was...something.
It was shaped like a human,but it's entire being was...transparent down to it's very skin and being.
You could see nothing excpet for the jungle foilage through it's shape,except for...one thing.
On it's shouler,a small puff of smoke flowed from what appeared to be a strange--projectile weapon of some sort.
Dirk saw what did it and suddenly became alert to the fact what the creature was about to do--fire again.
So...instead...he obliged in doing so instead.
He aimed his rifle..and fired.
"KA-BLAMMM!"
But it was of to no avail.
The creature simply leaped from the tree limb,allowing the limb to get shot instead into splintered pieces.
The creature then landed behind Dirk and in turn opened fire upon the hunter.
"KA-POOOW!
A small but powerful blast of white energy hit Dirk in the shoulder,and pierced right through his skin.
"AAAAARRRRGHHH!"he screamed in sheer pain from the blast.
His shoulder was turn open and blood seeped and poured from his wound.
He could barely stand let alone aim his rifle now that he was in so much pain.
The creature was about to fire again.
"Nooo---n-nnooo--DON'T!"cried Dirk as he run across the cliffs in a panic.
He then fell off the cliff and slid down the hillside and splashed right into the cold and muddy waters below.
"SPLLASSHH!"
The river current carried the wounded Dirk across the jungle area for several minutes,until he was washed ashore on a flat stretch of land and rock.
He laid there,gasping for air and grasped his shoulder which was now numbed by the cold waters,but still bleeding.
"What the---"he gasped. "--was that damn thing?"
As if in answer,the same creature suddenly stood over his intended prey.
Dirk gasped in terror.
"Noooooo...noooooo!"he moaned.
The creature still blanketed in camoflouge repeated the man's words in a strange alien tongue of mimickry.
"Nnnnnoooo----noooooo!"
The creature then said nothing else as it raised it's claw and came down upon his third and final victim,killing him in the end.
While this was happening,the same rare phantom jaguar saw the whole scene unfold and then turned from where it stood and sought refuge elsewhere in the jungle.
The hunt was over,but little did it know,the creature's hunt was about to begin again as a certain alien spaceship was about to make it's way to earth.
"It begins!"
"DR WHO VS THE PREDATOR!"
