Chapter 3 – New Player
When facing a greater threat to their lives, the wolves will come together to fight the new threat.
For one of the few times in his life since he finishes his training, Russ found himself breathing heavily as he held up the kukri still in his right hand while his left hand opens and close several times trying to get his breathing under control once more. He and the Yautja had been going at it non-stop for what seem like hours with neither side giving an inch to the other. Russ's armor was cover in multiple cuts from the wrist blades it had been using when he hadn't dodge quick enough which was starting to happen more often. But he wasn't the only one who was getting cuts in and the Yautja had neon green blood dripping from his strikes at it able to cause some damage and coat the plants around them in its brightly colored blood. Looking closer at the alien he could see that it was breathing heavily as well from their prolonged duel.
I am not going to make it at this rate. It can quickly match me for stamina and strength on equal footing. If we don't end this soon this going be decided by who gonna drop dead first from exhaustion, Russ thought to himself as he shifted his stance. They had made several circles the area always sizing each other up and making feints at each other trying to entice the other into attacking. Russ looks closer at the Yautja face trying to get some insight about this creature, but he was getting nothing from it.
They once again stood across from each other staring at one another as Russ took a deep breath and gripped his blade tighter. At the same time, both warriors rushed forward their eyes watching for the slightest sign of an opening. Russ twisted to side as the Yautja swung its blade upward nearly slicing his left arm off again nicking his armor slightly leaving a scratch. As he twisted around, he brought his kukri knife down towards the side of the creature. But the alien jumps to the side once more as his blade sliced at air.
Cursing under his breath, he decided to test his luck and threw himself forward knocking the Yautja onto its back its dreadlock spread out on the ground. Russ quickly moves to sit on top of its chest before it could get up once more. While trying to pin the Yautja to the ground, he could feel it thrash underneath him as it realizes what was happening, trying to buck him off. He was soon able to sit on its chest with his hands grasping the creature's wrists holding them down above its head bringing his helmet closer to its face. He could see into its eyes, seeing the fighting spirit it had still burning in those emerald gems. The Yautja continues to struggle underneath him as he brings the kukri to its neck trying to get it to stop, but the look it gave back show it was not afraid of death and would welcome it. The Yautja lean its head back and present its neck more for his blade as they close its eyes. Every instinct and training told him to kill the alien here and now and be done with it, but something was stopping him from doing what he was trained for.

The Yautja looks up at its prey with fury and excitement as it sat on top of its stomach holding it down. It was furious that the prey was able to pin it down and had successfully conquered the warrior, but it knew that its prey had fought a good fight and it would be a glorious death at the hands of an incredible prey, no a fellow warrior! It could feel the warrior's weapon press against its neck and the Yautja continue to look up at the metal warrior ready for the final cut that would allow it to meet the Dark Warrior and closed its eyes and bared its neck for the final blow but it soon felt the knife removed from its throat. Its eyes open wide in shock and anger as the final blow did not come giving it an honorable warriors death. It snarls loudly and begins to thrash once more underneath its prey, but the weight of the soldier had it quickly pinned downed still. It watches the warrior's hand raise above its head and brought down hitting it head causing it vision and mind to go blank.

"Shit you are heavy!" Russ calls out to the unconscious Yautja as he drags it up against a tree and tying its hands behind the tree several times with vines hoping it will be enough to keep it in place. He moves around to its front and begins to work the armor and any gear it had off the creature hoping to reduce the lethality of it before it wakes up once more. The leg and arm armor came off the easiest, but the chest piece seems to be more complicated than the rest. He pops his knuckles once before digging them into what look like a split for the armor forcing them in. His hands begin to pull hard on the chest piece causing it to bend and twist under his grasp until he finally broke free from the back half causing him to fall backward with the front piece of armor in his hand. Russ slowly sat up from landing on his back he tosses the piece of armor to the side beside the other armor when he notices something about the Yautja in front of him. Oh shit…

The huntress woke up from the darkness to feel the coolness air brushing against her face and skin. She tried moving her hand automatically but was unable to by something binding them together behind her. Her body begins to thrash in anger but soon comes to a realization as she feels the fresh air and plants touch against her skin that her armor had been removed. The huntress's eyes look down at her body to see that she had only been left with her body mesh and the protection around her groin. A growl escapes her mouth as she looks up for the metal warrior to see it pacing back and forth in front of her as it seems to be muttering to itself in the Ooman's language, the orange visor continues to look down at the ground not noticing she had awoken yet. Her mandibles flared out in anger as she yelled out at the Yautja in the Ooman's language, "Why did you not give me an honorable death?! Do you plan on humiliating me?!" The warrior stops dead in its track as she spoke to it. She looks up at it visor trying to see past the orange visor in its helmet wanting to see what the warrior look like. The soldier moves forward to her and crouches down near her feet but well away from her kicking range. She stares at it wondering if it was staring back at her or what it was thinking about. She looks down to see her large breast were very exposed through the wire mesh and wondered if it was just staring at her like it was a piece of meat. Suddenly it spoke as it looks away from her, "I am sorry, I didn't know you were a woman."
The huntress' face was frozen in shock at its words and actions. She could not believe that this deadly warrior could act like a shy pup, but here it was looking away from her in what she could only assume shame and embarrassment at her body being bare in front of the warrior. The Huntress tried to wrap her mind around the warrior's words as the soldier move its hand to his helmet and begin to pull it off. For a second the Huntress was filled with excitement until the helmet was fully off and her face turns into horror at realizing she had been beaten by a little Ooman. The Ooman face was pale white and was showing a man who could only be somewhere between his twentieth and thirtieth season. The fur on top of it head was short and was a color of that sun but seem to be darker. The ooman eyes were the same color as the ocean it had seen on Ooman's homeworld, and its eyes look down at her, and it sent a chill down her spine as she realizes that he wasn't a regular ooman but something more. A real warrior.

Russ saw the look of shock and anger on her face as he showed his face. He didn't know why it would upset the female alien so much, and then its eyes lock onto his own, and it calm down significantly as it stares at him. He looks back at it not daring to break eye contact, but the Yautja broke eye contact first and tilted its head down to the ground and look down at it and mutters something softly. Deciding to take a risk, he moves over to crouch beside her as he leans his head closer and asks her to speak again. This time he heard her words clearly as she says, "I submit. I will be yours."
Before he could understand her words entirely a large black ship flew overhead, catching both of their attentions before it moves away from them. The Yautja he had tied up started to growl once more as she watches it fly by them. He looks at her as she only said two words, "Bad Blood." Well, that can't be good, he thought as he pumps the shotgun looking towards the new ship as it landed in the distance.
