Disclaimer: Still don't own AvP, Aliens, or Predators. I could almost cry for having to admit that. I just own these lovely characters and the plot line. All right, so my plot penquin says he owns the plot but I can take that from him. So hahahahahahahahaha Herbert the plot penquin!

I want to send big hugs and thanks to all the wonderful readers for this fic. It reall gets me to keep writing. Hope you guys enjoy this next chappy and continue to stick with me as I develop this story.

Basic Info

Human language: Normal font

Yautja language: Italic font

Nok: measurment unit about a foot and a half. Least that's what I say it is. I've been wrong before.

Chiva: kind of like a coming of age experience where the Unblooded Yautja must kill a hard meat and get a cool burny thing on their forehead

Unblooded: young who hasn't gone through the chiva yet

First Hunt: the first hunt an Unblooded ever gets to do. Their prey is chosen by the female leader of their clan and they are observed the entire time. Basically, a big ass test for mommy to make sure they aren't an entire failure! Oh, and its males only.

Chapter 4

One Alien, Two Aliens, Three Freaking Aliens!

One word pretty much summoned Airn's feelings. Whoa.

They were walking through the city of Vampire's people. She was right behind Vampire, some kind of mechanical cuffs around her wrist, ankles and neck, walking to whoever had bought them. Jake was behind her, hyperventilating as it was. The other two things were silent and resigned to whatever was coming their way. At the back of the group was a male, Superman she had dubbed him because of an S shaped scar on his chest, she had seen a few times with Vampire. He was almost nine feet and didn't seem to like to talk…or click. Whichever it was.

The buildings all seemed to be made of metal, with large glass windows and doors that opened like a fan. Most of them were pretty tall, several stories up. Vampire's building was decently sized, about half the height of the tallest. She had been on the second to top floor. When they had walked down she had noted that all other floors had doors that led to cage filled rooms too. Apparently, Vampire had a very lucrative business.

She knew he owned all of them—thank you Hal for the info—and had people like Superman that worked for him as sales reps. Basically Vampire was the CEO of SLAVES R US.

So why he was personally delivering his wares—which was a very odd way to think of oneself, really—Airn had no idea. But she wasn't trying to hard to figure it out.

She was too interested in observing what were probably the most amazing structures she had seen. The buildings around her were amazing to an archeology standpoint. Beautifully built, each decorated with different carvings and words. Some had creatures standing out in front of it, clicking at each other frantically. She could see large and small spacecrafts flying in the air, either coming to rest in port or leaving for the great black unknown.

George Lucas would be having a hey day if he were here.

Creatures like Vampire walked around, some in armor others in a mere loincloth. Males and females—who being larger than the men were pretty fucking obvious—going about their business. This was probably the business district of this city. How weird they were so similar to humans but yet so different?

Vampire must have caught her looking at the stuff in awe because he snorted, a very human expression for the creature.

"What?" she demanded.

He shook his head before gesturing around then pointing at her and then Jake, who was barely managing to walk much less enjoy the view. Superman kept having to shove him into place.

She gave a shrug, understanding what he meant. "Might as well enjoy what little life I have left."

He tilted his head, confused at her remark. Not the death part, they both knew why she was going wherever she was going, but the enjoying part.

"Just look at the amazing structures around us. Nothing on Earth could even come close to the amazing structures that your race has built. I feel honored to be able to view your incredible culture even if only for a short time. I've had the opportunity to view things most humans would never dream of much less admire as I do."

He seemed stunned by her words. He clicked a few things before turning to face the direction they were headed. It was after a twenty or so minute walk they ended up in front of a huge complex of buildings, all no more than three stories high. A housing complex, most likely for a very rich family.

Above the entrance she saw a single symbol etched into the metal. Airn couldn't help but think she had seen in somewhere. Somewhere on Earth.

They were lead across a path framed by statues of Vampire's race, most holding weapons she had seen a few times. The walkway was some kind of reflecting one, catching the suns—yep, multiple glowing balls. Two to be exact—light.

They entered a large foyer—well, that's what she'd call it anyway—covered in a white marble like stone with black walls that looked like obsidian. Correct her last assumption. Really, really, really, really rich creatures.

Airn quickly found herself meeting the lovely white floor as the fan doors opened to reveal…a couple of somebody she didn't have a chance to see. Vampire had pushed her face to the floor. Sometimes curiosity was not a good thing.

A few clicks came from Vampire, she knew his style of quick but concise clicks. He was responded by slower clicks and a couple of growls that were obviously female. She didn't know how she knew but she did. Hmm, maybe it was the bossy bitchiness that seemed to fill the air?

She then felt talon tipped hands grab her hair and hoist her up. Up we go! She made sure to keep her eyes downcast. It seemed like a good idea in her head. From under her lashes she was able to see the creature looking her over.

It was a female, that was for sure. At least twelve feet tall and arms the size of Airn's thigh, she was the biggest thing Airn had ever seen. The female creature was decked out in some seriously scaring looking armor, weaponry and jewelry—consisting of some small skulls—that sent Airn's oh shit meter of the board. This was a female Airn did not want to mess with.

She was a really dark green with a waxy white color on her abdomen extending from her neck to under the loincloth—which didn't really need any further exploring, thanks—as were the undersides of both arms and inner legs. White flecks sprinkled the funky crown of a head the race had.

She was also flanked by six males, all around seven feet that favored her in coloring, though not attitude or size. Sons, maybe?

An angry click was aimed at her. Ok…what the hell was she supposed to do with that? Don't know what your fucking saying, lady! No speaky clicks! Try human languages!

The next growl was aimed at Vampire, who responded with some very submissive sounding clicks. Guess he didn't to mess with Godzilla's sister either.

At a certain sharp click one of the males stepped up as Vampire released her head. Airn nearly gasped when he started speaking, not with clicks, but in Chinese. A language she knew!

"My mother commands you look upon her, filthy human!" So it was insulting rough sounding Chinese, but least it was something from her world.

And Chinese she wasn't arguing with. She slowly let her eyes wander up the very large female to rest on the face.

She was more than used to the mandibles by now. No surprises there. The tusks on her mandibles were tipped with gold that had some kind of etchings in it. Her dreadlocks went down to her butt, some five feet from her head and the longest Airn had seen, and were covered in silver and gold clips. The little spiky things that extended from the eyes to the dreadlocks looked like deadly spikes, harder than Vampire's ones looked. White flecks sprinkled the funky crown of a head the race had.

She clicked at Vampire, who responded quickly. She then said something to the son that was talking to Airn.

"You master here thinks you are suitable as the first trophy for my son. A mere human female. Why is it he thinks that?" Who knew Chinese could sound so utterly oppressive?

So one of the lessons she had been given was that these creatures were big on trophies. Hal had said something about it either being the skull—with spinal cord sometimes attached—or pelt of something they had killed. The more trophies you had, and the bigger and harder the kill it was, the more respect you had. Not really sure if she liked the fact they were asking whether she thought herself worthy to be their wall ornament. But who was she to argue with a huge ass alien female?

"I know not why my master thinks this. I would not argue with his claim as I am but his humble slave but I know nothing of the workings of his great mind." That sounded good. Bit Old English maybe, but as good as it was going to get.

The female obviously understood her because she snapped something at Vampire. Vampire was real quick to respond the question, even glancing over at her, which Airn saw out of the corner of her eye. The female chirped something to her son who relayed the message as is.

"He says that you have a warrior spirit that he finds interesting." Airn was hearing the son but looking at the female the entire time, know these were her exact words. "That you fought against your captors, even managing to scar one, in a way he didn't know a human female could. That you are even stronger fighter than some of the warriors he has seen. Are you a fighter, human? Are you a hunter? Are you as skilled as he says?"

Airn looked Godzilla—what else was she going to be called?—dead in the eyes. Here goes nothing. "Yes, I fought against my captors and if I scarred one, all the better. You ask if I am a fighter, I say no. You ask me if I am a hunter, I say no. I am a warrior. I fight to survive and for honor. While I highly doubt my skills amount to anything your race can, I will not go down without a good fight."

All right, she was going to be killed where she stood. Head ripped off to be sent rolling on the pretty white marble like floor that Jake and the other creatures were still looking at. She had had a good life. Nice fulfilling life. She had done most of the things she had always wanted to.

River rapid riding, bungee jumping, skydiving, climbing a mountain, climbing a mountain barehanded. She had visited two of the counties she had always wanted to. Went swimming with whales. Did a dive with jumping great whites of the coast of South Africa. Yeah, her life had been pretty damn good.

And here she was going to die on some alien planet God knows how far from Earth, in some rich aliens complex, with the only other human in probably a thousand light years cowering on the floor about to shit himself, because she had smarted off to a twelve foot Godzilla wannabe female. Hmmm….never saw that coming.

What Airn had never seen coming was the laughter that rippled out of the female. The twelve foot female tipped her head back and started howling. Okay…that was either really good or really bad. Airn dared a glance at Vampire, who seemed just as surprised at the reaction.

The son that had been translating looked at his mother like she had just said she wanted to be a human girl too. Airn was willing to bet he had thought her blood would be painting their walls. That made two of them. The other five were all looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

When the laughter came to an end, Godzilla sent a few chirps to her son, eyes sparkling with enjoyment. The son looked liked he'd been smacked in the face, the much surprise crossed his face before he translated.

"I like you, human. I can see why your master is so fond of you. You have a warrior spirit to you that would do any of us proud. You are certainly brave to say something as that to my face with no trace of fear. There are many proud females of my own race that would not even say that to me. Yet, you, a mere human, say it with such conviction, that I must honor your spirit. You are indeed a strong warrior. You will make a very fine opponent for one of my sons."

"I am honored by your words." This was said with a bow. Lets not press anymore of her luck today. She had managed to threaten Godzilla and keep her head intact and then get complemented by the twelve-foot female. Fate only dealt so much good karma to each person and Airn wasn't too keen to find out how much she had left today.

Told you O'alt's mommy is a bitch. Just goes and scares the hell out of poor Airn! Who all thougt Airn was going to be the new paint on the wall? I know I did. And I'm the one writing it! Goes to show you that you never know how a fic is going to turn out! Lol. Hope you guys enjoyed. I'm working on the next chapters as I post this one! Trust me, its gonna be good.
