Aliens V.S. Predator 2
Joining the hunt
It had been a year since Alexis survived that hellish Antarctic night. During that time Lex found herself being hunted by the media who wanted to know what really happened that night. Of course they didn't believe her story that the ice cave that they was exploring just simply fell in and she was the lone survivor that was her story and she sticking to it. Unable to stay at home in peace, she decided to stay with her Aunt Ellis in hopes of forgetting that night; but unknown to her she was about to be visited by the Hunters once more.
Lex was sitting at the dinner table watching her Aunt Ellis fix up a big meal for them. For the past few months, Lex had been debating whether she should tell her aunt the truth about that night.
Lex (to herself): Aunt Ellis has been so good to me through all this she deserves the truth. But what if she doesn't believe me? Fuck, I find it hard to believe. She's going to think I have lost my damn mind.
Aunt Ellis is the only living family Lex has. When her father died, Aunt Ellis was there to help with everything. She had been like a second mother to Lex. Aunt Ellis could see that Lex had something on her mind so…
Ellis: Lex what's the matter, not hungry dear?
Lex looked up at her aunt's loving and kind face and right then she decided to let the chips fall where ever they may land.
Lex: No. It's not that aunty. Remember what I told you about what happened to me at the whaling station?
Right then Aunt Ellis turned off the cooking food and sat down next to her niece.
Ellis: Yes honey, what about it?
Lex: Well, that wasn't true.
Ellis: So what did happen then Alexis?
Lex: Well here goes…
Lex told her everything that happened that night, including the hunters and the black alien bugs. As Lex finished she looked up to see how her aunt was reacting to her story.
Aunt Ellis just gives Lex the biggest hug she could give to her niece.
Ellis: Lex why did you wait so long to tell me the truth?
Lex (with a surprise look): You believe me Aunty?
Ellis: Of course I believe you, but you didn't answer my question Alexis.
Lex: You had to ask. I mean this is the kind of shit that they lock up people for and throw away the key.
Ellis (half smile): That's true, but in your case they may just swallow the key.
Lex (trying not to smile): That's not funny Aunty.
Ellis (as she rub the mark on Lex cheek): Lex honey do you know what this mark means?
Lex: Yes and no. All I know is it hurt like hell when he marked me and from what Sebastian told me, ancient warriors used to mark themselves with the blood of their kills. I guess to them I'm a warrior now.
Ellis: Maybe so. Lex do you still have that spear thing that the old one gave you?
Lex: Yes I do.
Ellis: May I see it please?
Lex: Sure Aunty.
Lex got up from the table and headed to her room. She returned with the spear moments later.
Lex: Aunty, do you want to see how it opens out?
Ellis: Sure.
Aunt Ellis look on as Lex held up the space age weapon and pressed two buttons on the staff causing the blades to shoot out. Aunt Ellis gasped a bit when they did.
Lex: Want to hold it?
Ellis: Yes, but close those blades first.
Lex did and handed it to her aunt. She looked it over with her dark brown eyes and handed it back to Lex .
Ellis: Where did you have this Lex?
Lex: in my room in the closet I was going to hang it up on the wall, but every time I see it, it brings back all that happened to me.
Ellis: Lex I understand that you feel guilty to be the only one to get alive, but this is something that you can't just hide in some closet or under the bed. This is something that you must accept.
Lex: But Aunt Ellis, how in the world do I do that?
Ellis: I don't know, but if I was you I would start with these hunter aliens.
Lex: Ok Aunt, I guess I'll try find out something more about "our new friends."
Ellis: Good. Now help me finish the cooking so we can eat.
So with that Aunt Ellis got up and headed for the kitchen. Lex was about to follow her but decided to do something that her aunt suggested. She placed the spear just above the framed picture of her mom, dad and her when she was six before going to help her aunt.
Lex spent the next day at her local library looking on the web for any clues about the hunters. Unfortunately she didn't find what she was looking for. So she decided to call it quits for the day and try her luck tomorrow. As she pulled up to her aunt's house she saw a man standing at the door as if he was waiting for her. Once she made it to her door she got a better look at him. He was a tall black man with short cut hair that had to be in his mid 40's.
Lex: Excuse me sir.
As he turn around Lex could see that he had been in a few fights in his life because he had 2 long scars across both his cheeks.
Man: Yes, is there an ALexis Woods living here?
Lex: I'm her and who are you?
Mike (showing his badge): Oh, I'm Detective Michel Harrigar of the LAPD.
Lex: So what brings you all the way out here to see me Detective?
Mike: I'd like to ask you some questions about what happened to you a year ago.
Lex: Look! I already told the press and Wenly Inc what happened. Why won't you just accept that?
She moved him out of her way and got out her house keys and was about to open the door when Mike stopped her.
Mike: Because it's not true is it Ms. Woods.
Lex (turn to face him): You asshole! Why don't you leave me alone!
Mike (Shouting at her): I can't goddamn it because the some damn thing happened to me!
Lex turned to see Mike take off his hat and sit down on the porch steps.
Lex (sitting next to him): What do you mean the same thing?
Mike (looking at her): You don't want to know.
Lex: Yes I do.
So with a heavy sigh Mike began to tell Lex about his meeting with the hunter. Lex listened carefully as Mike told her every horrific detail that happened to him. As Mike finished up Aunt Ellis pulled up in the dive way.
Mike: Well, that's it Ms. Woods.
As he turned to Lex he finally saw the mark on her cheek, but before he could say anything Lex got up and quickly met her aunt.
Lex (hugging her): I'm not the only one Aunty.
She knew what she meant by that, as Lex turned to see that Mike was now standing there with a half-smile on his face. Lex walked up and apologized to him for what she said. Mike just waved it off.
Mike: I have been called worse Ms. Woods.
Lex (holding her hand out): Lex
Mike (take it): Mike
As they shook hands, Aunt Ellis urged them all to make their way inside. Once inside Lex told Mike the truth about the cold night and showed him the spear that the old one gave her. As Mike look it over, Lex could see in his eyes that he knew this weapon all to well. Mike handed it back to Lex and sat down in one of the living room chairs.
Mike (as he tossed an old pistol to Lex): I guess we both have trophies now.
Lex looked it over for a time before she handed it back to Mike.
Lex: Mike, did the ones you saw have the same mark that I have?
Mike (sitting back in the chair): No, just the old one who gave me the gun. By the way, what does that mark mean anyway?
Lex: I don't know for sure, but my guess is that to them I'm a warrior or hunter. Something like that.
Mike: Your probably right kid. From what I can tell these guys have a code that they live by.
Lex: Huh, maybe so. Too bad we can't just ask them.
Mike: That would be something now wouldn't it?
Lex: Mike, are there any more people like us that you know?
Mike: As a matter of fact there is. Damn!
Lex: What?
Mike began to look though his coat pockets for his cell phone. As he finally found it and began dialing a number, Mike explained that his friends Dutch, Anna, and Leona were waiting for him to call back. Once the call was made Mike told Lex that they were on their way. That was all Aunt Ellis needed to hear as she made her way to the kitchen. Lex and Mike offered to help, but Aunt Ellis told them that she would be fine. So Lex asked Mike some question about the hunters.
Lex: Do you know what they are called Mike?
Mike: Your guess is as good as mine Lex. But Keyes called them
Predators.
Lex: You don't think the government is still trying to catch one do you?
Mike: Who knows? If they are they are crazy as fuck.
At that moment a car pulled up. Lex and Mike went outside to welcome them. As they get out of their van Lex could see a tall white man with short spiky brown hair in he's 30s along with 2 black haired women. One is a short Asian woman in her late 20s with long hair. Standing next to her is a little Spanish woman in her late 30s with short hair.
Mike: Lex, I would like for you to meet some good friends of mine; this is Dutch, Anna, and Leona
All: Hi.
Lex: It's nice to meet you all.
Mike: Come on guys let's go inside.
At Mike's suggestion, they all went inside. As they entered the door the smell of home cooking hit their noses like a car wreak; a good sign that dinner was ready so they sat down for a good meal. Once everybody had their fill, Mike insisted on helping Aunt Ellis with the dishes. She agreed as that would leave Lex to talk with the others about their run in with the predators. Dutch and Anna were the first to tell their story, soon followed by Leona. Then it was Lex's turn to tell her story once more. When Lex finished, she could tell that all of them were taken aback quite a lot; even more so when she showed them the spear.
Dutch: You are telling me that there are even more of them out there and that there are also alien bugs that are just as dangerous as the predators?
Lex: Yes.
Dutch (rolling his eyes): Oh great, this just gets better and better.
Leona: When he took off his mask were you scared? From what Mike has told me they are some ugly motherfuckers.
Lex: Ha! Mike wasn't kidding you on that. But he wasn't all that bad. He did try to scare me again when he let out a roar, but I know somehow he was just teasing me. I just wish I knew his name.
Dutch: Sounds to me like you and him were friends.
Lax (smiling): Mmm. Maybe we were.
Anna: Lex, do you think there are any more temples out there?
Lex: I don't know Anna, but pray to God that they are all gone.
Leona: I hear that.
Lex: Now I want to know, how did all of you get together?
Dutch: That's easy.
Dutch told Lex that after his run in with a predator he was questioned by Peter Keys; the very same man that tried to catch the one that was hunting Mike, but ended up being cut in two by the predator disc weapon. After that, Dutch pulled some strings so he could get a green card for Anna so she can stay with him. It was six years later before Dutch finally met Mike and Leona. Soon after that she had a baby girl name Lenny. Now Dutch and the others spent their free time looking for anybody that had met and survived an encounter with a predator.
Lex: Well, were you able to find any more of us?
Anna: Yes, but they all have been dead for a very long time Lex.
Leona: What we do know Lex, is that they have been coming to Earth for a very long time and each time only staying around two weeks.
Lex: So you're telling me that we are the only ones!
Dutch: Unfortunately yes. But you are different Lex. You actually spent time with one of them.
Lex: Yes, but we didn't talk to each other. We just used hand movements and the time we spent together was running and fighting for our lives.
Leona: That's more then anyone us Alexis.
Anna: That's enough. Let's not fight over this.
Everybody was quiet when Mike and Aunt Ellis came out of the kitchen
Mike: Hey! Why is everybody so quiet? Is something the matter?
Lex: Oh, we just had a little disagreement that's all.
Mike looked around the room.
Mike: (Smiling) It's good for all of us to be together like this. We are a part of something special like it or not we're family.
Lex and the others smiled and let out a big laugh. They all agreed on his point. As time came for them to go, Mike and Dutch suggested that she come with them back to LA to stay for a while. She looked back to Aunt Ellis and with a head nod for an O.K. Lex agreed to go.
Mike: I'll pick you around 9:30am ok.
Lex: That is just fine Mike.
As they said their goodbyes, Lex's heart was filled with joy now that she knew that she wasn't the only one on the earth that had been touched by the predators.
