Chapter 1 the Predator
In Separatist Territory a group of highly skilled clones were heading towards a Droid base. Leading the operation was Jedi General Koffi Arana.
"Target in sight General." A clone commando said.
"Wait something isn't right." Another clone said looking at the factory.
"What is it?" Arana asked.
"Theres no guards." The clone said making Arana look and indeed saw no one guarding the factory.
"Strange. Theres never been a factory or base unguarded before. Something is not right." Arana said before he and his clones moved to the factory.
"Wait hold on." A clone said spotting two droid bodies that had burn marks on the front. "I think something attacked them." The clone said getting Arana to frown before pulling out a hologram transmitter. Activating it the Jedi Council soon appeared.
"Master Arana. Have you located the Droid factory?" Master Windu asked.
"Yes, but theres something off. I believe someone or something might have already attacked the factory." Arana said.
"What makes you believe that?" Koth asked.
"There a couple droids out front with burn marks on the front. And the factory is completely unguarded." Arana said before his men opened the front door to look inside.
"What the?" One of the clones said seeing the factory was totaled.
"Someone definitely beat us to the factory all right." A clone said.
"Master Yoda...Was there anyone else sent here to destroy the factory?" Arana asked.
"No, sent only you we did yes." Yoda said before Arana felt something drip on his head.
"Huh?" Arana said before looking up seeing a few drops of blood coming down from the floor above. "I'll contact you when I have more information." Arana said ending his transmission before rushing up to the next floor before he came to a brutal sight. The people leading the factory were slaughtered with their limbs cut off and some of their heads were pulled off.
"Sir...Do you think Bounty hunters did this?" A clone asked.
"No...We're dealing with something much more dangerous." Arana said.
Above them a pair of yellow glowing eyes was seen before they vanished.
"Jedi." A voice echoed throughout the factory making Arana widen his eyes and his clones aimed their weapons in the air.
"I do not like this at all." A clone said before he was close to a shadow. Next thing that happened was a slash came swiftly before his head came off and fell to the ground.
"Tracker! Where are you?" A clone asked for the deceased clone before his neck was caught in an invisible wire making him choke before a hard pull came breaking his neck before dragging him into the shadows.
"Tracker! Cliff! Report in!" Arana yelled on the comms.
"Jedi." The voice echoed again making Arana and his three remaining clones get their weapons ready.
"Sir I think we should pull out." The clone commando said.
"Agreed. Stay close." Arana said as they moved to the exist.
One clone that got close to the shadows was pulled in before a blade pierced his skull without him alarming the others.
"Gear Shift?" The clone commando called out but got nothing.
"I don't like this." The other clone said before his head exploded from a plasma weapon being fired from behind him.
"Run!" Arana yelled as he and his last clone ran out of the factory. However the second the Commando clone walked out a spear of some kind was thrown at him hitting him in the chest making him let out gargled gasps before dying.
"Show yourself!" Arana yelled activating his lightsaber just as it started to rain.
"Jedi." The voice said again before footsteps we're heard and seen but the person was cloaked.
"What are you?" Arana asked before electricity was seen on the cloaked individual before his appearance was seen making Arana widen his eyes in fear.
"No! It can't be! The Jedi and the Sith wiped you out thousands of years ago!" Arana yelled before pulling out his communicator and contacted the council.
"Mastar Arana whats..." Windu tried to say.
"Master Windu! Their back! The...AHHHHHH!" Arana yelled in horror before the being charged at him before his blood was sprayed everywhere.
Later
"Master Windu! Their back! The...AHHHHHH!" The recording of Arana was repeated to members of the Jedi in the briefing room.
"They?" Anakin asked.
"Unknown I'm afraid. The Jedi have more enemies then just the Sith. What worries me is what happened to Master Arana and his clones." Obi-Wan said scratching his beard.
"Whoever attacked Master Arana and his unit also took out the Droid factory. We haven't heard anything from them for a day." Fisto said.
"Anakin." Windu said gaining his attention. "You, Aayla and your Padawan will lead a small search and rescue team to the planet and find out what happened to Arana and his men." Windu said.
"With pleasure." Anakin said as he and Ahsoka left.
"They have returned? Who's they?" Shaak Ti asked.
"I wish we knew. Whoever he was talking about brought fear to him." Obi-Wan said.
Later
Anakin and a small fleet soon emerged from Hyperspace.
"Think we'll find Master Arana and his men Skyguy?" Ahsoka asked.
"I don't know. Whatever attacked them means business." Anakin said.
Soon enough a few gunships arrived at the factory still the same as the day before.
"All right men lets go!" Captain Rex said getting them to rush out.
"Stay sharp. We still don't know what happened." Anakin said as they moved to the factory.
Moving inside the factory they saw the bodies of the droids around them.
"Why attack both Droids and clones?" Ahsoka asked.
"Not everyone agrees with this war young Padawan. There are some who believe this war has no meaning." Aayla said before feeling something drip on her Lekku. "Hmm?" Aayla asked before rubbing them before she saw her hand with some blood and looked up and gasped.
"Master Secura? What is it?" Ahsoka asked before looking up and also gasped.
"What?" Anakin said before he saw what it was. "Oh my god." Anakin said seeing the clones were skinned hanging above them with blood dripping down.
"Who would do this?" Rex asked seeing his brothers killed in the worse way possible.
Ahsoka after getting over her shock looked around and found Arana's lightsaber on the ground before looking in front of her.
"Master." Ahsoka called out making him rush over and widened his eyes seeing Arana without his head on.
"Whoever did this meant business." Rex said.
"Jedi." The voice echoed.
"We're leaving now!" Anakin said getting everyone to leave.
However as they got to the gun ships something grabbed Aayla making her yell out before something was injected into her knocking her out.
"Where's Master Secura?" Ahsoka asked before they saw her on the ground before something started firing at them and shot down one of the gun ships making it crash into the factory blowing it up.
"We can't stay here!" The Pilot said as they left.
Later
"What happened to Master Secura?" Windu asked.
"We have no idea. We saw her on the ground as whatever it was started shooting at us and took down one of the gunships. We have to expect the worst." Anakin said making everyone lower their heads.
"What did you see at the factory?" Plo asked.
"It was a nightmare. Someone skinned the clones and took off Master Arana's head." Ahsoka said making them frown.
"You don't think..." Adi Galia tried to say.
"It's impossible. The Jedi and the Sith wiped them out during the days of the old Republic." Piel said.
"The Jedi and Sith?" Anakin asked confused.
"We need more evidence to suggest one of the Jedi's greatest enemies have indeed returned." Windu said.
"What enemy?" Ahsoka asked.
"I'm afraid we cannot say right now. As we said we need more proof before we say anything." Shaak Ti said.
Meanwhile
"And your certain your scouts report is accurate?" Sidious said to Dooku in hologram form.
"Indeed. The Factory was destroyed completely and someone or something took General Secura away from her troops before leaving the planet. However that is not why I called Master." Dooku said.
"What else is there?" Sidious asked.
"I believe that the greatest enemy of both the Jedi and Sith have returned." Dooku said making him frown.
"Are you certain?" Sidious asked.
"There is little doubt in my mind master. I recognize the tactics the brutality the vicious killings and the technology and weapons. They have returned." Dooku said making him frown more.
"This is most unexpected. This could put my plans in jeopardy and not only that they could wipe us out like they nearly did the last time." Sidious said. Though most did not remember the details during the days of the old republic this enemy had no problem with the Jedi just the Sith. The Sith and Jedi had united to defeat this enemy due to the Jedi under the belief they were only vicious killers. In truth the Sith had manipulated the Jedi into believing they were the greatest threat in the galaxy and had to be stopped. The enemy was annihilated since both the Republic and Sith Empire united to stop them. But apparently some must have survived to rebuild their numbers.
Meanwhile
Aayla soon found herself in a room as she began to wake up strapped to a table.
"Your certain she is worthy?" A rather distorted voice questioned.
"I see in her eyes she is worthy to our cause." A more clear voice said.
"Very well. Proceed." The other voice said before leaving.
Soon a tall figure walked towards her revealing him in unique armor and strange mask with dreadlocks. (Picture the outfit as the starting costume from Predator Concrete Jungle while the mask is the Stalker mask from Predators)
"Do you know what I am?" The person asked circling around her.
"A monster." Aayla said getting him to laugh.
"A monster? Half true not fully though. Your Jedi nearly wiped us all out thousands of years ago. You all thought we were dangerous due to our tactics and brutality. And yet...They didn't see the bigger picture of what we were doing." The man said standing behind her.
"What you were doing?" Aayla questioned looking above her.
"We were purging the galaxy of crime and the Sith. But you were deceived by the Sith into thinking we were the greatest threat to all life. How wrong you were." The man said.
"So what are you going to do? Kill me?" Aayla questioned making him shake his head no.
"No. I want you to join us. The Jedi code is flawed not to mention the Jedi are all hypocrites. This war is proof enough of that and others. Where are the peace talks? Where are the negations? Where are the cease fires?" The man questioned making her look down seeing he was right. Did she agree with this war? No. She hated it. Hated seeing the galaxy suffer and the innocents caught in the middle.
"Our code is simple. We protect the innocent. Those who dare to harm others for cruel reasons or for amusement are guilty and are put down swiftly. And the Jedi...Couldn't see it. Their time is up. The ways of the Jedi and the Sith are over. Now our numbers are back up. Our allies have agreed to join us. I ask you...What is it that you desire? Do you desire order and Peace? Or do you wish to remain with the Jedi knowing one day they will fall by our hands? What is your choice?" The man asked making her think deep and hard on this.
Hearing all this she was beginning to see that the Jedi and the Sith were both flawed and nothing but lies. The Republic was greatly corrupted after years if not centuries of corrupted senators and Chancellors. The Separatists started this war to enslave the Galaxy. What was her choice?
"What are you exactly?" Aayla asked.
"We are Yautja. Or better known as Predators." The man said. "And I ask again what is your answer?" The man asked.
Authors Note: I just had this yesterday. I can honestly see the Jedi and Sith fighting against the Predators since they are brutal. Another Reason I made this is cause I am a huge fan of the series. Will the Jedi and Sith be able to stop the Predators a second time? Will the Galaxy accept their ideals and let them be? Will this story have lemons? Yes. And on another note Don't forget to check out my The Mask story if your a fan of the Mask and DC. Read, Review, Fav and Follow.
