Doctor Who VS predator!
Ch.3
The next morning,the Doctor,Leela,Redeye and the rest of the hunting expedition were gathered at the entrance of the amazon jungles.
athered at the entrance of the amazon jungles.
They were all armed with rifles,guns,and a few with bows and arrows.
The Doctor simply wore his backpack filled with both provisions and a few devices he brought along for just such an occasion,as well as his always trusty sonic screwdriver.
Leela was always armed with her trusty knife and poison thorns,but this time had a bow and a quill of arrows with her as well.
"Alright then."said Redeye. "Everyone ready?"
"Ready as we will,Red,haw-haw!"said one of the hunters.
"That's what i'd like to hear."said Red. "Now--all of you and carefully...follow me."
The troupe then entered the jungle forests and made their way through the underbrush ahead.
"You ready as well,Doctor?"said Leela.
"As I ever will be,Leela."said the Doctor. "How about you?"
"I feel almost like home again here in these jungles."she said. "My senses and skills are all razor sharp today."
"Well..keep them as sharp as possible,Leela."said the Doctor. "For I fear that we may be in..for more than we think."
Minutes later,after trekking across the jungle brush,the group found themselves at a fork in the road.
"Hmmm..."said Red scratching his chin. "...it appears we have more than one way to go."
"So it would seem."said the Doctor. "Do you propose we split into two?"
"Yeah,I was about to say that laddy."said Red. "Alright lads,here's the gameplan..we'll split into two teams,my team with the Doctor,goes to the left,the team with Leela there goes to the right."
"And it just so happens,Redeye."said Keith a tall lean and muscular man with a beard and carried an army rifle. "I also have as much experience in leading a trek as you do so I will lead the way with Leela."
"What?"said Leela.
"Shhh--just do as they say for now,Leela."said the Doctor. "We don't want any trouble right now."
"Nor do I."said Leela in irritation.
Keith then wrapped a an arm around Leela's waist.
"It's alright now darlin'."said Keith. "I won't let anything happen to you,hee-hee..!"
Leela slammed an elbow into Keith's chest and shoved him off.
She then drew her in knife and had an intensely angered look in her eyes.
"YOU EVER---DO THAT AGAIN-----!"
The Doctor got between the two.
"Stop this at once!"he said. "Leela sheath your claws. "As for you,Mr.Keith...my friend here is not just another woman as you can see."
"Huh,I can see that..what...is she one of them foreign ones is she?"said Keith.
"You...could say that."said the Doctor. "But I warn you as well as she does...do not in any way take advantage of her...or the consequences could be dire. Do I make myself clear?"
"Er--yes,quite clear."said Keith.
"Good..now let's be off then,the prey we seek isn't going to wait on us."
"Thanks Doctor."she said.
"Twas nothing Leela."said the doctor. "But if he tries anything of the sort,wound him a good one..but no killing."
Leela nodded.
"Alright men...and lady."said Redeye. "We got ourselves a quarry to hunt down right now,so keep your eyes and ears open,your weapons cocked and prime..so watch out--FOR ANYTHING!"
"Oi Red...what about that white tiger that's also out there?"said one of the men.
"That...will be considered a major bonus while we're at it."said Red. "And whoever bags it,gets a heft bonus pay when this is over."
"Sounds good to me."said Keith. "Let's go!"
The troupe of hunters split up into two groups and too off down the dirt and grass paths that led deep into the terrirories of the jungle.
"This is it Doctor."said Redeye. "I hope for your sake and ours you're all you say you are with that jack of all trades stuff."
"Oh I intend to prove it,Mr.Hawkins,indeed I do."said the Doctor. "I've had experience in jungle dealings and occurances."
"Well...keep your eyes peeled..for anything."said Red.
While back with Leela and the other group...
Keith led the way.
"Alright mates,keep your eyes peeled and ears open for anything."he said. "There's no telling if that--thing we're hunting may be out here or not."
The group carfeully crept through the bushes and weeds along the path,ready for anything.
Just then,while Keith's group was hiking,the fat pudgy one with the moustache one had to stop to tie his hiking boots.
"Cor,bloody cheap pair,I knew I shoulda bought the better ones at the shop back in London before I went with this lot." he grumbled.
He tied them back up and then took out his whiskey flask for a drink.
"I sure hope we find that tiger instead of this...killer..."he thought. "Can't wait to get back to the misses."
Suddenly,before he could travel on,something grabbed him from the back of the neck and dragged him into the darkness of the bushes.
He was done for in exactly 2 minutes.
While back ahead with the rest of the group.
"And what kind of things have you hunted before,darlin'."Keith said to Leela.
"The name's Leela and not darling--and yes I have hunted and killed as many as you men have as well."she said. "Whatever this thing is,i'm ready for it!"
"You'd better hope so."said Keith. "I heard it's killen many men here before us,so be ready."
"I intend to."she said.
While back with the others,two men a few feet away,two men from the group were falling as one of them accidetally stepped into some quicsand.
"Hey--oh blimey--oi--Rick--help me out will ya?"said a heavyset men with long blonde hair.
"Cor,what you got into this time little brother?"said Dick his brother a man with black curly hair.
"I stepped into some quicksand,an'I canna get out!"he said.
"Alright,alright i'm coming,geez!"said Dick.
Dick helped Rick out and the two were about to head back with the others,when suddenly...
A single and large net dropped over them.
"OI---WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS?"said Rick.
"It..it looks a net."said Dick.
"I can bloody well see that!"said Rick."What I mean is..what the bloody hell is it doing on us?"
As if in answer,the net suddenly,enclosed on them and placed both in a very tight and painful squeeze.
"AAAAAAARRRGHHHH!"the brothers screamed in unison. "HELP---HELP KEITH!"shouted Rick. "IT'S GOT US!"
"IT--IT'S THAT DAMN BLOODY KILLER--I KNOW IT IS---HELP!"
"What the hell----rick--?"said Keith as he came running after them.
But it was too late,by the time he got there,the brothers were pulled upward and sounds of flesh and bone being cut apart and several more screams.
"It's there!"said Leela pointing at one of the trees. "It's up there!"
"Bloody hell!"said Keith as he aimed his rifle and fired at the leaf and vine covered tree limbs.
"BLAMM---BLAMM--BLAMMM!"
After 3 shots,something came falling out of the tree,but as it crash landed on the ground,it wasn't the quarry they sought but...
"It's the brothers Grove!"said another of the hunters.
The brothers were still in the net,but their bodies were all twisted,broken and cut up,along with their very lives,dead.
"What--what happened to them?"said another of the hunters.
"It's here!"said Keith. "That--that thing is here with us!"
"If it is i'm ready for it!"said Leela as he got her bow and arrow ready.
The five remaining hunters along with Keith and Leela all stand firmly in a circle,their rifles drawn,ready for anything.
"Just everyone...stay still and calm...keep on your guard."he said.
Leela wasn't frightened,but she knew something was out there with them...something dangerous and ready to kill!
Suddenly,something fired from nowhere and hit the hunter on the left,slamming him into a tree.
"WHHAMMM!"
He then just hung there in mid air against the tree with a single metal arrow in his chest.
"WHAT THE HELL--YOU SEE THAT?"said another of the hunters.
"JUST SHUT UP AND STAY ALERT OKAY?"said Keith. "JUST STAY ALERT!"
Suddenly,another projectile came flying out of nowhere and slammed another hunter.
This time it threw him up against a flat rock surface and epanded into another tightening net on him,squeezing and cutting him to death!
"AAAAAAAARRRGGHH!"cried the poor man.
"ROGER!"said Keith.
"What's going on here?"said another hunter.
In response,a single claw came up behind the man and impaled him through the back,lifting him up at the same time as well!
"AAAAAAAUUUGHHH!"he cried before he died on contact.
"LOOK THERE!"said Leela.
Keith whipped out his rifle and fired away at the creature that was attacking them.
"BLAMM-BLAMM!"
But the creature jumped away before he could lock on.
The only pair of hunters that were left were Keith and Leela and they both stood with their backs to each other.
"Stand ready--we'll get through this!"she said.
"Whatdoyamean we,jungle lady?"said Keith in a frieghtened manner. "I never---NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ME LIFE!"
"You won't get through this if you act this way!"said Leela. "Just keep calm and leave it to me this time!"
For a whole minute or so,the two hunters stood completly still,waiting for the moment when their opponent to strike.
When suddenly...
"KAFLASH!"
A single blast flash explosion of energy,the two hunters were knocked off their feet and fell to the ground.
"OOOFF--WHAT TH--?"said Leela.
Keith got back to his feet,trying to see what happened when suddenly..
...a single metallic spear came thrusting out of the smoke at Keith,impaling him straight through.
"GGKKKK---Leeeela...rrruuuuuunnn..."were all he could get out before he died.
The creature pulled out the spear,and the final victim fell to the ground.
All that stood was Leela and the creature before her.
If Leela was Sarah jane or one of the Doctor's other previous companions,she would've taken Keith's advice,but she was Leela of the savage Sevateem tribe and she would never run from an opponent.
The creature stood with it's weapons drawn,ready for combat,as did Leela with her bow and arrows.
"I--I know not who or what you are..but you have killed many innocent people...even that fool Keith deserved no manner of death from you! Now,I shall stop you--or die trying!"she said.
The creature began to mimic her in a weird alien tone.
"I shall--stop--stop you or die trying--KKKKKK---DIE!"it said.
"What?"she said. "It..mocks me?"
The creature looked at it's quarry through strange infrared vision,colors of red,orange and green were shown as the creature looked upon Leela with great interest as to it's next battle.
Leela said nothing more,she simply aimed her bow and then fired her arrow.
But as she fired away,the creature jumped into the air and sailed down upon her.
"Now I got you!"she said as she whipped out her dagger and just as the monster landed,she swipped the knife across it's side,wounding it.
"SCRREEEE!"it cried in response.
Green blood squirted out from it's side through the camoflouge.
"Now I have you!"she said as she aimed another arrow.
But before she could fire again,the creature swung out a left leg and hit her in the abdomen knocking her down.
Once down,the creature stood and crouched menacingly over the fallen warrior woman.
She could not make any move,she shivered slightly to ithe creature's intimidation,but would not show any face of terror or fear.
The creature caressed it's left across Leela's cheek.
It then decided it was time to finish the hunt for it knew it found a good trophy for it's collection.
It then raised it's claw...moving in for the kill.
"Doctor--where are you?"thought Leela.
