We know what happened that night on Blackwood Mountain, but how would events be affected if two of the most dangerous species in the galaxy were present as well?

I haven't actually played Until Dawn, but I've seen Let's Plays of the game, and I thought the story was really well done. This idea was just something that popped into my head.

Warning: Major spoilers for the plot of Until Dawn.

Disclaimer: I do not own, Alien, Predator, Until Dawn, or any other franchise I may reference during the course of this story.


Prologue

It had been nearly a year since the disappearance of Hannah and Beth Washington on Blackwood Mountain. Search and Rescue teams had scoured the area, but they could find no evidence of foul play.

Slowly, the friends of the two teens had attempted to put their lives back together, and Josh, the brother of the Washington twins, had invited his friends back up to the lodge for the anniversary of the death of his sisters.

For various reasons, they all agreed, unaware of Josh's plans for when they got there. However, the culprits who had caused the death were still lurking on the mountain, waiting for the oppurtunity to strike yet again. But unknown to everyone, the mountain was going to get some new visitors.

Visitors who were not of this Earth.


"Are we ready?"

"Everything's prepared. We release the specimens now, and while they set up shop, so do we."

"What about the locals? I doubt they're going to like this."

"This is an isolated location, yet it has enough pre-built infrastructure to support the specimens. Human contact will be minimal."

"It better be. I'd rather not become food for those things. Still though, wouldn't it be safer to find somewhere even more isolated?"

"The experiment calls for variables. We won't learn much if we dump them in the Arctic circle and they decide to go into hibernation."

"Fair enough, but why even come all the way out here? Surely, there are locations closer to home that fit all the requirements."

"Does it matter? They told us to conduct it out here, and that's what we'll do. We get scientific data, and you get your pay."

"Alright, I get the point. By the way, how far are we from the initial drop?"

"Two minutes. Be ready to release them."

"Understood."


The Wendigos had been starving. Ever since last year, the only humans who had been on this mountain were their captor, and the young man who had been coming and going for the past month. It was so frustrating to be so close to food, and yet unable to reach it.

A low rumbling noise drew their attention, and several Wendigos rushed towards the source. However, one stayed behind, looking over the head of its first victim. It hadn't been that long since the spirit within had claimed a new body, a little less than a year ago, in fact.

And still, she missed them all. Her friends, her family. That's why she kept the head. It was nice to have some company.

Her musings were shattered by the shrieks of her fellow Wendigos, resonating through the mines. These sounded different than normal, almost... terrified. Similar in tone and pitch to when their opponent used his fire.

However, more noise filtered through the crescendo: It sounded like a cross between hissing and screeching. The Wendigo stiffened as the death scream of one of its brethren filtered through the still silence, followed by the howling of its released spirit.

The Wendigos were no longer the most dangerous predators on the mountain.


"What the- What are those things?"

"Unit 782 encountered them as he attempted to set up the cameras to monitor the process. It seems we have an unexpected variable here."

"Well, these things may not be a match for the specimens, but we're going to be running on limited feeds."

"What's the status of the cameras Unit 782 was supposed to set up?"

"782 is in several pieces and his remains have been recovered. We're running on limited supplies as is, we can't afford to lose any more in attempting to install cameras during a brawl between two hostile species of these animals."

"I guess we lose some entertainment value there... what do we have, exactly?"

"Mainly the bio-readings from the specimens. We can send some forces to keep an eye on events, but they'll have to stay at range for their protection."

"Do it. The circumstances may have changed, but we need to get something out of this."

"I just hope these things are the only surprise we get."
