hi to all. This is my first fan fic that I had decide to write as I had this idea flowing through for sometime. It just wouldn't leave me alone. So feel free to read and review. Let me know where I managed to go wrong or something just didn't make sense. NO FLAMERS!!! Your criticisms are not welcome and are more then destructive to a young writer. Enough said, I'll get on to the story.

I do not owned the Predator or Aliens franchises. Though it would make a good living. But I do own the characters and am not making money out of them.

Prologue: Before Time.

A gentle breeze was in the air. It offered a little bit of comfort that the shadows of the rocky outcrops were able to feel. This day was hotter then usual with a bit more humidity in the air that the group would have liked. The giant trees gently swayed in the hot moist air praying for the rains to come. There was distant rumbling in the air as the promises filled the atmosphere with the crackling of the electricity that could be felt.

The legends of the hunters were passed down through the generations. As these tales were told, the hunters would continue to descend from the heavens to remain in the shadows unseen and unnoticed by the habitants of the young world.

Only on the most hottest of days in the hottest of years, would one be able to notice a shimming of light. But to look again, only to see nothing but the forest. The trees grew tall and straight, with the canopy providing the shade during the daylight hours. The humans toiled the land and raised their cattle and sheep. But most of all, they were multiplying in numbers. And the hunters watched on. Skilfully taking only the bravest and strongest of men.

The woman were very rarely harmed by the hunters, they had a strict code of honour that they lived by. As the time would pass, the legends seem to cease to exist. As humans grew and branched out to other areas, the hunters watched, waiting for that perfect moment. Years started to grow into the decades. The hunters existence faded into the distant memories of the primitive humans.

The humans way of life changed as the years gathered and the race was maturing. The hunters watched ever so patiently for the day when the humans would mature to their full potential. The decades were long and hard but still they watched. Only ever taking the strongest males. The humans thought they were safe, or so it seemed. As they reached their technology age, the hunters paid closer attention to the humans, they were becoming worthy.

Buried deep in the legends, are the secrets that were long forgotten. But the hunters did not mind this so much. As modern day approached, the hunters became a mystery and shadows sitting on the fringes of the human conscience. Monsters that stood as tall as trees and just as well built like them. They come out of nowhere, only to disappear just as quickly again. Making no noises to their presence, they carried themselves with quiet dignity and intelligence. These hunters were known as The Yautja.
