A/N: I've had this idea in my head for weeks and now I can finally type it out and share to the world. This chapter is the origin of my character. This whole story is basically Predator meets ATLA. So... yeah. Enjoy.

I own neither the Predator franchise nor ATLA

The Dark Hunter

"Mom? Dad?!" Terin said while suppressing his tears as he sat right next to his 'sleeping' parents, but deep down he knew they were dead. (A/N: denial's a wonderful phase isn't it?)

Hours earlier

"But mom." Terin said in an award winning whiny voice. "I don't want to hear it, you're coming with us to this party whether you like it or not. Now, have Yin do her job and help you get dressed." Terin let out an annoyed groan and went to find Yin. Came from the high-class Akirai family in Gaoling. Oh how he abhorred the fact that he was supposed to be a gentleman, he shuddered at the very thought of the word. (I.N.H.) was anything but gentle. He was an 'impatient, reckless, and blunt little demon' at least that's what the last servant said right before she quit. He just smiled at that comment and took it as a compliment. As he walked down his mansion's hallways he saw Yin through the bathroom window. She was outside drying the laundry. (I.N.H.) walked around the corner of the hallway towards the outside.

"Yin!" shouted. She immediately turned around a little bit startled and bowed. "Yes lord Terin?" Terin rolled his eyes "I told you to stop that. It's just. Terin" Yin was about to bow again when he gave her a look "Yes Terin" he smiled "Better, now my mom wants you to help me get ready for the party" "Yes Terin" she said as she followed him into the house.

"This suit is itchy!" Terin said as he messed around with his fancy, linen suit. "Stop fussing you'll ruin it". Terin's mother told him. He let out a small pout as their carriage went about the road. Suddenly the carriage stopped. "What is the meaning of this?" Terin's father more demanded than asked. The driver came to his side "There are huge clusters of rock in the road my Lord" "Then pick them up!" he said in an angry, demanding voice. "We can not pick up all of the rocks in time for the party." the driver responded. Lord Akirai grumbled almost inaudibly. "What do you suggest?" The driver pointed towards a forest entryway. "If we take this route we can still make it to the party on time." Lord Akirai thought for a moment "So be it." The driver nodded and hopped back on the carriage and drove right into the forest.

(A/N: this is where predator comes into the story)

As Lord and Lady Akirai were talking about the other families that will be at the party, Terin started feeling tired. Just as he was about to doze off, he heard a large explosion and the carriage swung out of control. Everyone let out a large scream as the carriage tipped over.

Present (so to speak)

Terin slowly got out of carriage and looked towards the driver. His eyes were the size of dinner plates as soon as he saw it. It had the structure of a human but had the exterior of a monster. Then he noticed that the driver was being held by the hair in the creature's left hand. The creature raised his other hand and out shot two curved rugged blades from its wristband. Terin was in a trance. Part of him wanted to look away while another just wanted to keep watching.

He then saw the creature make a quick stab towards the driver's sternum and then retracted the blades back into its wristband. The driver made a quick gasp as this happened and fell to the ground when the creature let go. Terin looked back into the carriage and noticed his father's sword that he kept for emergencies. (Let's see, there's a weird creature outside that will kill me if I don't kill him first. Yeah I think this counts as an emergency). He slowly and quietly grabbed the sword and little-by-little he moved his head out of the carriage. He then saw the creature ripping out the spine of the driver. He gently stepped out off the carriage and snuck up on the creature. He almost gave away his presence when he heard the creature roar triumphantly. Terin figured it was now or never, when he was close enough he quickly lunged forth and put the sword right through the creature's back. This made the creature bellowed with pain. Terin put his foot on the creature's back to pull out sword. As he did this green liquid (that he figured was blood) poured out of the creature. By now the creature was on its knees. He then noticed that the creature was reaching for its bizarre looking wristband and without hesitation chopped his right forearm right off. The creature bellowed with pain, but it was still alive and conscious. Terin decided to end it once and for all and quickly slit the creature's throat. The creature landed on its stomach as green blood oozed out from under the fresh corpse.

Terin dropped the sword and fell to his knees shaking now realizing what he has just done. After a few moments of stillness He turned the corpse so that it was facing him. All around its skin was that of a reptile. It had long feet with sharp toenails, he continued up and noticed that it had human skulls for kneepads. He continued up again and noticed a breastplate. He glanced to the creature's left shoulder, which was covered by another skull (this time the size of a moose-lion). Finally he came to the head its face was covered by a metallic helmet with a skull shaped curve around the frontal and a rectangular curve that covered the medial section from the mandible towards the nasal. There was dark lens' covering where the eye sockets would be. Terin noticed a latch around the side of the helmet and out of curiosity decided to unlock it. The very second he did so, a quick burst of air that made him jump a little. After getting a hold of himself he started to take off the mask. He fell completely aghast when the creatures face was fully exposed. Its frontal was shaped just like the helmet, but surrounding that part was a rugged outline (like the kind you see from a volcano from an aerial view). He could handle the forehead, but the mouth was the one thing that gave him creeps. The middle of the mouth had a normal shape with jagged teeth, while the outline of the mouth was shaped like that of a spider-scorpion.

He must have been really lost in astonishment because when he heard a branch snap, he looked up and at first didn't see anything, then he saw the unthinkable, the air seemed be filled with electrical waves. Soon it revealed five more of those things standing just a few yards away from him. (Four with lighter armor and wore different looking helmets than the creature he just killed, while one in the middle who wore a cape and wasn't wearing a mask. He appeared to be the leader of group) and directly behind them was a gargantuan looking ship with curved sides and a pointed ends. He was brought back to the world when he noticed two of those things walk up to the corpse which had all ready begun to smell foul. They then positioned what appeared to be a medical hammock right next to him, placed the corpse right on top of it, and carried it back to the ship. The leader walked up to Terin and stared at him for a moment. After a while the leader told him to rise and follow him through body language. Terin hesitated at first but snapped out of it and hastily caught up to the leader and walked inside the spaceship as the ramp closed behind them as it flew off into the sky.

A/N: Yeah… Yeah. Let it all out. That made no sense! What does this have to do with ATLA? Just calm down it will all be explained in the next chapter. I also may need to update the title.

Please review.
