All right so here we go with the next chapter and sorry for taking so long. Again I explained why I have been busy, but now we are going into the chapter that I have been looking for a long time. I think for those who saw the Predators movie from 2010. So, I hope everyone is ready and will like what happens here.
Also, thank you guys for the support of the story. I appreciate it and glad how things are going here. How will things play out with what happened to the others? What did happen to them?
Who kidnapped them? Where did they go? Will they make it back? Or will there be some deaths?
Check out the chapter to find out and now time for the disclaimer. I don't own anything from Star Wars or from the Aliens vs. Predator universe. I only own my OCs, who appear in this story. I also don't own this quote below. All right, enjoy the chapter everyone!
Chapter VII
Unknown location
What's going on? Why does it feel like I'm falling? Ahsoka thought as she feels the cold air brushing agaist her face and body.
She begins opening her eyes slowly, but her vision is blurry. She begins rubbing her eyes, until she noticed the air hitting her face. It kept her vision blurry until she moved her hands over to her face to shield herself. It is then she realized she really is falling.
She looks around to find herself falling to what appeared to be a dense jungle below her. She looks around wondering how she ended up here or where she fell off of. She couldn't remember what happened to her, but knew she needed to find a way to save herself. She then feels something attached to her back and knew it was some kind of parachute.
She grabs it and tries to use it, but it wouldn't open. She thought maybe it malfunctioned and braced herself. It soon began making some noises the closer she got to the jungle and the chute opened. It helped slow her decent and keep her from falling to her death. She sighed in relief, until she feels it detach from the pack once they got close to the trees.
She used her reflexes to grab the branches and make her way down to the ground. She lands on the ground and looks around to find herself alone. She tried to remember once more how she got here as her memories slowly started coming back. She remembers heading to Mandalore, going to see her husband, and then…nothing.
It was then she realized she had her children with her and begins trying to call out to the Force. Trying to find sense her children or anyone familiar. To her surprise her connection with the Force here feels weak. It's as if this world is not strong with the Force and couldn't use it to help her.
Suddenly she looks up to see someone else falling from the sky too, but the parachute opened for them. She rushes towards where the person will land figuring someone else must have been brought here too.
As she runs to the person her memories continued coming back. She remembers being in the cockpit flying her ship. With Barriss in the back taking care of the kids. She then remembers a bright light engulfing her and then passing out. Fear soon begins flowing through her body as she feared her children are in trouble and have been taken.
She arrives to the area where the person she saw fall. However, to her surprise she couldn't find anyone. She looks around wondering where the person is at. She kneels down and finds a large footprint on the ground along with claw marks on the tree.
It is then she recognized the footprint, but before she realized it something appeared behind her. She turns around and is hit in the face by a large Trandoshan. He grabs Ahsoka and slams her into the tree with his body hands on her face. As he tried to crush her, but Ahsoka managed to move her hands over to grab his arms and jumps up to kick him right on the snout.
He loosened her grip and leaps up delivering another kick, but this time under the chin. She tried using the Force, but was too weak that it didn't push him far enough. He lets out a loud roar as he swings his hands at her. She leaps over and his clawed hand hits the tree getting him stuck.
Ahsoka sees he is stuck and pulls out her lightsabers. Activating them as she moves them near his neck.
"I should have known you were the one that brought me here, Trandoshan. Although, I am surprise you didn't try shooting at me in the back or take my lightsabers," said Ahsoka as she kept her weapon close to his neck.
"I did not bring you here, Jedi! You are the one that brought me here to kill me!" said the Trandoshan as he hissed at her.
"First of all I am no Jedi anymore and secondly you are lying," said Ahsoka who didn't believe him. "I know your kind kidnap people and hunt them down like we are animals. I know because your kind kidnapped me once and tried to kill me."
The Trandoshan began calming down and begins to laugh. "First of all I don't hunt others for free like my kind does. I prefer getting paid for my hunt. Secondly, if this was a hunt then why would I like you keep your lightsabers, ex-Jedi?"
Ahsoka soon realized he is right. The last time she was kidnapped the hunters took her lightsabers and destroyed her com-link. So, if this was another Trandoshan kidnapping they would have taken her weapons away. She backs away, but kept her guard up.
"If you are not behind this then who is?" she asked until she feels a blaster aiming to her head.
"We were to ask you the same thing, Jedi," said a familiar voice as Ahsoka looks behind to see it is Boba Fett in his Mandalorian armor. "Remember me?"
Ahsoka nods as she deactivates her weapons. "Boba Fett. I take it you were brought here against your will too?"
"Pretty much," said Boba as he kept his weapon to her head as he turns to the Trandoshan who broke free. "I told you not to wonder off Bossk until we know what we are up against."
Bossk hissed at Boba as he approached them. "I smelled someone familiar. I came to look who it is and I then found her. Can we kill her?"
"Wait, you didn't land here just now?" Ahsoka asked wondering who came here then.
"No, I did," a long sharp blade moves near Boba's neck as Ahsoka looks over to see it is her husband, Jake. "Move the weapon from my wife or you will die a painful way."
Boba Fett recognized the figure and moves his weapon away as he moves his hand up. "The demon himself, I am surprise to meet you here. I take it you are in the same predicament as we are?"
"I suppose I am," said Jake as he took the blaster and motions for Boba to join his friend while Ahsoka goes to his side. "You all right?"
Ahsoka nods in response. "I take it you don't know how we got here?"
Jake shook his head. "No and I'm missing some of my stuff so whoever brought us here didn't want me to keep all my toys."
"Enough talk!" Bossk shouted getting their attention. "If you did not bring us here then who did?"
Jake turns to Bossk and then to Boba before he asked them a question. "What's the last thing you two remember?"
Boba and Bossk turn to one another before Boba replied for them. "We remembered working on a bounty, we then heard a strange noise, and then a bright light before passing out. That's pretty much it."
Jake turns to Ahsoka who nods indicating she went through the same thing. He retracts his blades and tossed Boba his weapon back.
"Looks like we're all on the same boat. Someone brought us here and I bet there are others too," said Jake figuring they can't be the one only ones here.
It is then they hear some fighting going on not far from them. "Let's go!" said Ahsoka as she took off with Jake to follow the noise.
Boba sees where they took off and puts his weapon away. "Come on, Bossk."
Bossk turns to the boy confused. "Why should we go with them? Why don't we just kill them?"
"Because I want to know who brought us here and why before we do any killing," said Boba who felt that Jyun might know more than he is letting on as he took off to follow them.
As they rush over to the fighting Ahsoka and Jake could hear some familiar voices. "Let her go right now," one of the voices was Anakin who seems to demanding something from who they are fighting.
"Like I would give up the only thing keeping you two from killing me," said another familiar voice that Ahsoka recognized and looked angry. "Now. Put your weapons down and she will live.
"That's not going to happen. I suggest you two surrender so we can figure out what is going on," said another familiar voice that sounded like Obi Wan.
"I think it would be wise for you to surrender, Kenobi," said another familiar voice who Jake and Ahsoka recognized. "Unless you want the good doctor to die."
Oh Jake soon figured who the two criminals are talking about and rushes over to find Anakin and Obi Wan with their lightsabers out. With Darth Maul holding his weapon in his hand and Cad Bane with his blaster pressed against his hostage, Sherri. She is on her knees with her hands up.
"I suggest you drop your weapons or she will die," said Bane as he pressed the blaster more against her head.
Jake saw they didn't see him and used that as an advantage. He took out a Smart-Disc and tossed it. Cutting Bane's blaster in half as Sherri saw Jake and Ahsoka. She grabs a nearby piece of wood and slams it into Bane's leg causing him to scream. She moves out of the way as Maul tries to grab her.
Anakin and Obi Wan used the Force to knock Maul off his feet, but not enough to push him. Ahsoka and Jake reunite with their friends as Sherri runs over to them. With Jake giving her a quick hug as she quickly was placed behind them. As a shield as Bane and Maul recovered, while Bossk and Boba arrived.
"Glad to see you two," said Obi Wan who is glad they got some backup. "Although, I take it you two have no idea how we got to wherever we are?"
Ahsoka shook her head in response. "Your guess is as good as ours," she said before turning to the criminals. "I take it you both noticed how weak the Force is here?"
Anakin nods in response not taking his eyes off the criminals. "Right now our focus is on these two and figuring out where we are."
Bane used a nearby tree to hold himself up as he felt his leg where he got hit feel broken. "I am going to kill that witch for what she did."
"Relax, Bane. It seems we are outnumbered," said Maul before turning to Bossk and Boba. "Unless you two wish to assist us so we can get off of this world."
Bossk was about to join Maul, till Boba stopped him. "This seems to be more of your problem, Sith. Besides, those two over there still owe me some answers," said Boba as he points to Ahsoa and Jake.
"Answers?" Maul then turns to Jake and deactivates his weapon. "So, I trust you know how all ten of us ended up here then, demon?"
Jake kept his glare at Maul before shaking his head. "I'm just as stumped as the rest of you. Though judging from how the temperature and the appearance of this jungle I say we are not on any planet from the outer or inner rim."
"And how do you know that boy?" Bane asked as he took out his other duel blaster.
Jake stood up and turned to Bane. "Because dumbass, I have been on every planet in the galaxy. I have hunted down the most dangerous creatures in every environment from jungles, forests, deserts, oceans, swamps, snow, wasteland, and uninhabitable world. So, yeah if I say we are not from any planet from our galaxy then take my word for it."
"Oh I am going to blow your head away boy," said Bane who didn't like to be treated like an idiot.
"Try it and I'll cut your head off," said Ahsoka as she defended her husband.
"That is not the Jedi way, child," said Maul as he mocked the girl for her threat.
"She is not a Jedi anymore and I say you better watch yourself or I'll put you down like I did to your brother," said Anakin who threatened Maul for what he said.
"Don't underestimate me, boy. You don't know the full power of the Dark Side," said Maul as an argument soon broke out among the group until Sherri spoke out.
"SHUT UP!" or rather she shouted getting everyone's attention. "Now is not the time to be bitching or measuring our sizes you idiots! All of us were just kidnapped and dropped off on an unknown planet in who know what galaxy! We need to all just shut the hell up and figure out what is going on!"
Sherri begins panting heavily as she tries to calm down while everyone stares at her. She soon began clearing her throat and replied again in a calm tone. "Um I am sorry for that. It was rude."
Jake turns to the others and knew Sherri is right. "Well, since we know Maul didn't bring us here, Cad Bane didn't bring us here, Boba didn't bring us here, and this isn't a Trandoshan hunting game then who brought us here?"
Before they can respond they hear some sort of whistling sound coming from a distance. "You all hear that, right?" Ahsoka asked.
Soon the others begin hearing the whistling sound getting louder as Bossk begins hissing. "What is that?"
Boba uses his helmet to detect something approaching them and it appeared to be a large number of things. "We got company!" he took out his duel blasters as he backs away with Bossk.
"Ahsoka, defend Sherri!" said Anakin as the Jedi join with Jake, while Maul and Bane look on from where they are at.
"Now what?" Bane asked.
The creatures appeared to be some sort of Reptilian-looking canines that have scales around their bodies and spikes on the front parts of their heads.
Boba and Cad Bane opened fire at the creatures, but their blasters didn't take many of them down. Only three got killed and that is before the others got close to them. Boba and Bane used their rocket boots to get some air advantage, while Bossk tackles one of the creatures down and slashes it across the belly. Maul used his lightsaber to take down two of the creatures, but a third knocked him down and tried to bite him.
Jake used his wrist blades to pierce one of the creatures between the eyes killing it. While the other he slashed it across the jaw when it leaped to him. He sees Maul is in trouble and despite how he feels about him needed to help him. He threw a Smart-Disc and slashed the creature's head off.
Maul sees what Jake did and continued his fight with the creatures. Anakin and Obi Wan meanwhile used their lightsabers to slash the creatures down, but they kept on coming. One knocked Anakin down as he used his robotic hand to block the creature from getting to his face. He then pressed his lightsaber against the face and activates it killing it.
Obi Wan kicks it off and helps him up, but they are both attacked by more of the creatures. Boba sees this and fires at the creatures killing them.
"You're helping us?" Obi Wan asked surprised with what Boba did.
"Only till we know what is going on," said Boba who didn't like helping the Jedi, but right now he needs them alive.
Bane continued firing at the creatures, but they were getting tougher to put down. So, he tried using his flamethrower at them and it seemed to work. However, one jumped across the flames and tackles him down as it tries to bite him. Ahsoka continued defending Sherri until she noticed Bane is in trouble.
"Ahsoka, help him," said Sherri who got a 'are you serious' look from Ahsoka. "Just do it before they outnumber us."
Ahsoka sighed as she sees one coming at her. She stabs it in the face and then tosses it with the Force at the other creature. Knocking it off of Bane as he grabs his blaster and shoots the creature in the face killing it. He gets up and cleans his hat before turning to the Jedi before he goes back to shooting at the creatures.
Jake continued slashing at the creatures and was getting a little exhausted. He forgot how long it has been since he had to fight against prey that were resilient before. It was getting to him and he didn't like it. One came up from behind and tried to bite him, but Bossk got it off and bites it in the neck killing it before slamming it down.
Jake turns to Bossk and seemed surprised that he helped him. "Thanks, I think."
The creatures soon were reduced to only a dozen left as they prepared to charge again. However, they stopped the moment they heard a loud whistling sound. It caused the creatures to retreat as they fell back. Jake though out of instinct threw a small tracker at one of the creatures at it took off before regrouping with the others.
Bane sat on a log resting from his injury that he suffered from Sherri. Anakin is nearby checking his robotic arm to find it is functioning, but the damn creature almost ripped it off. Boba and Bane also checked their ammunition to make sure they have enough as they wasted a lot on the creatures. All while Maul stood over the bodies of one of the creatures to examine it, like Sherri is doing.
"Sherri, did you ever see anything like these things before?" Ahsoka asked as she kneeled next to Anakin and Obi Wan.
"I have studied every different species in the galaxy, including those that went extinct. These things though are not like the ones I have seen before," said Sherri as she continued her examination.
"Well, whatever those things were they took off running because they knew they couldn't beat us," said Bossk as he spits out the blood from the creature.
"You are an idiot," said Bane as he put a splint for his injured leg. "They didn't run away because of us. Clearly from that whistle someone or something called them off."
"The whistling called for them to attack and then called them off," said Obi Wan who agreed with what Bane said. "The question is why were they called off? Why not continue attacking us? They were clearly a challenge for us."
"Because whoever send them didn't send them to kill us all," said Jake as he turns to the others who all turned to him. "They were send to wheat out the weakest, test our strength, and try dividing us."
Bossk wipes away the remaining blood and agreed with the demon. "He is right. It is something my people do when they go hunting. But if what you say is true are you saying whoever brought us here is hunting us?"
It was then the group soon realized what is going on is starting to make some sense. "But the question still remains. Who brought us here?"
Sherri remained silent for a moment after what Jake said as she began thinking back what happened before passing out. What she found out before the bright light and before waking up here. "I think I know who brought us here."
"Well, if you know then mind telling us?" Maul asked wondering what this woman knows.
Sherri turns to the others and then to Jake as she lets out a small sigh. "I think the Hunters have finally arrived."
All right so that's the end of the chapter and yeah for those who have seen the Predators movie from 2010 this is going to be like from the film. With some changes here and there. Also, hope you all like who I brought in to be hunted down. I was going with an original group to be used here, but after how the stories have gone I decided to make some changes.
So, the group right now is Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Jake, Sherri, Cad Bane, Darth Maul, Boba Fett, and Bossk. Who is going to survive on this planet? Will they be confronted by the Hunters? Or will this group of Hunters be different from the movie?
How many would like them to be different or be the same? Let me know so we can see how things will go. Also, thanks to those who left the reviews for the story. I appreciate it and glad many of you like how this is going.
I will try not to take too long, but with my tests going on I make no promises that this won't take a while. Just letting you all know. If you like how things went then please leave some reviews, but if you didn't then don't leave a flame review please. Take care guys and see you all next time.
