Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Hunter and Hunted. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own AVP, Jim and John Thomas and Fox do.

(Unknown Colony.)

Dreads stabbed at a Warrior before decapitating another with his Comb-Stick, he ducked a tail from a third before he stabbed it through the chin with his Wrist Blades.

The lone warrior lunged at Dreads before he grabbed it and snapped it over his knee, killing it as he dropped it to the ground.

He put two fingers up to a mark on his mask, a mark he had burned on the mask with the blood of the first serpent he had ever killed on this planet.

He was hunting for a 'Praetorian' as he heard Humans called them, one had killed a gang of Humans…. He would kill it with his bare hands if he had to… Every serpent on this planet will die….

"Brother…"

Dreads heard before he drew his Smart Disk as he tossed it as 2 Warrior Xenomorphs, it split them apart and returned to his hand as his sibling leapt down as Dreads walked past his sibling.

"You should be at the camp…."

Dreads hissed as he drew his Wrist-Blades as his sister followed, he tracked a Xenomorph through the trees before firing a blast at the beast with his Plasma Caster.

He dodged the acid that came from the creature and brushed some of it off his shoulder.

"As should you, you cannot face this entire planet alone…"

Dreads heard as he turned to his sister as another Xenomorph screeched and lunged at him.

He caught it on one of his blades as it tried to claw at him while he looked at his sister.

"I won't let these Serpents kill me, sister… You mistake me for a simple weakling… A pup… I am not, father trained me to fight… As he trained us to command the clan if he fell…. I won't let these abominations destroy our legacy or our clan… So, with all due respect, sister…. Go back to the camp… Now…"

Dreads ordered as he growled out the last words of his sentence, his sister didn't yell or move.

She always was stubborn… The silence was horrifying, and unsettling… Not something Dreads preferred unless it was him on a hunt… Where he felt in his element.

"Brother… No."

She said as Dreads turned and growled, he didn't think his sister was weak, his sibling was one of the few allowed to hunt with the clan and their mother who was another Elder of their clan was.

But seeing these…. Serpents cut her down? Like they had his father? No, on his honor as the leader of their clan, he wouldn't allow this.

But still….

"Fine… But you will do as I say… We are hunting one of the higher serpents, the ones who lead the packs and guard the queens… One was leading a massive pack of Serpents through this area… We will hunt it, and we will kill it… And then we will hunt for the queen in 2 weeks…"

Dreads hissed as his sister nodded, Dreads leapt to another tree and turned to his sibling as the two Predators regarded each other.

"Don't use your camouflage… the Serpents see through it… I know the last serpent I killed before you arrived tried to kill me while I was hidden from its sight…. Your castor or spear are better used then being hidden…"

Dreads stated as he vanished to another tree as he brushed off his armor as his sister followed him.

Dreads heard a hiss and then whirling, something flew by his armored head.

The bullet impacted the tree next to him as he tired to react and managed to do so as he fired his plasma caster.

The android fell to the ground, its torso smoking as Dreads let out a war howl and lunged at the droids.

His sister followed as one of the droids tried to bring up its weapon before Dreads impaled it through the chest with his Wrist Blades. He turned and slashed another 2 with his Smart Disk before killing another with the Smart Disk he held as he tossed it at the droid and killing the machine.

Dreads hissed as another fired its rifle at him, he dodged the shots before firing his Plasma Caster.

The machine fell to the ground, smoking as a roar split the ear.

Author Note

Phew, another chapter down! Yes, I know it took a while to make this chapter, I was handling another story… I also want to point out Dreads isn't the best of leaders yet as you saw… He's learning… Next chapter will be soon but maybe in a few weeks and will show Dreads fighting a Praetorian. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
