Chapter 7: Enter the Predalien Queen
Mac-11 CQB:
New chapter's up and running. Thank you all those of you who reviewed.The clan went out to hunt the next day. Sean and Jason went back to work and got medals awarded.
Merc'rk ordered his clan to hunt down the terrorists and they were searching for terrorist activity for a while. Indeed the city was much quieter without the Drug Lord's to screw things up. The clan was traveling through the city in a search for some fighting, but they found nothing.
They all meet each other on a tall building in the middle of the city. "We haven't found anything," said Shou'nk. "I guess the terrorists have nothing to do without the drug lords," said Essa. "Those attacks they made were probably a distraction so they could trade their goods without drawing attention to themselves," said Netak. Merc'rk looked to Reco'de. "Remember the tunnel where you first saw the hardmeat. Go back to that place and look for anything useful. The rest of us will go search the city again," he ordered.
Later in the after noon Reco'de went back to the sewer where he first saw the aliens. He decided that they had no other clues so he lifted all the rubble and went in. He entered the sewer and found the most fowl stench he ever smelled. He pushed a button on his mask that acted as an air freshener. He breathed the fresh air and continued down the tunnels. The Predator stopped at steel door that was pretty thick. He opened the door and saw a long tunnel. He went to the end and it stopped at a ledge. He saw several other tunnels with water pouring out of some. He looked down and saw about twenty-five feet below him there was eggs. He found the nest.
The Predator looked farther down and saw a large figure. It had his skin, mouth, muscles, and dreadlocks. It had an Alien tongue, arms, legs, and the size of a queen. Its bones stuck out of its joints like spikes and its mouth was dripping acid. It was apparently asleep at the moment. It sat there with its arms and legs curled up into a ball. It suddenly stared at him and roared. Reco'de activated his plasma caster and charged it. The hunter was about to fire until two Predaliens crawled in towards him. He stepped back and realized that almost half of the eggs were Predalien eggs.
Reco'de knew there were more down there and ran away from the area. He heard the Predaliens chasing him. While he was running he turned his plasma caster backwards and fired it at them. He hit and killed one. The Predator turned around and pulled out his wrist blades. Just then the Predalien's tail pierced his right arm. Reco'de slashed at it, but it was blocked. He kicked it in the ribs and knocked it back; then fired his plasma caster. The bolt of plasma ripped strait through the creature. Thanks to his advanced weaponry killing it was easier now, but he had to tell his leader and he couldn't fight the whole hive of predaliens alone.
He went back to the ship and waited for the rest of the clan to return. Meanwhile Netak was in a large building that was all one large room. It was a high school party in the school's gym. The room was dark. There were lights of different colors flashing everywhere and one in particular was flashing a bright white light rapidly. At the end of the room was a DJ playing some loud slow music. Netak was cloaked and standing on a high catwalk with some lights mounted on it looking down at the young humans. He watched the females dance and have some kind of mouth to mouth contact with the males. The Music changed and they went from slow dancing to wildly swinging their body. It was some kind of fast music with a beat to it.
The hidden hunter walked to the end of the catwalk and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. He closed his eyes and listened to the music. It was pleasing in a way. Just then an explosion came from the wall. Netak looked down and saw a large hole in it. Four predaliens crawled inside the gym. The humans panicked and screamed. Damn, females have an irritating scream' thought Netak. The DJ stopped the music and stared at them.
A predalien pounced at a teenage girl, who fell down out of fright. The Predator threw his disc at it and it ripped the creature into shreds. The others saw the disc fly back to Netak, now uncloaked. His disc was now faster and could keep up with them. The hunter jumped down off the catwalk and landed in front of the girl. He stood there for a moment looking cool.
Half of the kids ran out of the building screaming, while the rest watched. Netak grabbed his spear and it unfolded. The heated edges beamed on and it glowed a brighter red in the dark gym with its colored lights and strobe light. The DJ got an idea and put in a CD. Some fast dancing music that was perfect for a fight went on. The three predaliens pounce at Netak. He dodged the first two and as the third came by he slashes it in two with his spear. It falls to the ground leaking acid blood and dies. Netak apparently had gotten better at his skill. The other two predaliens instead of pouncing at him charged him. They reached the hunter in an outbreak of slashes and blocks. The music changed and went with the fighting. Netak was attacking and blocking both of their attacks. In all the slashing and fighting they suddenly see a limb fly of a predalien. Its fell to the ground and flopped around. The hybrid roared out in pain before its head was sliced off. The last predalien smashed its tail into Netak and he flew. The predator smashed into stereo. Netak got up and pulled out his disc. He threw it at the predalien. The hybrid dodged it and pounced at Netak. Right before it reached him the disc split it in half and flew back into the hunter's hands. At the same time the music ended and it was silent.
The victorious Yautja picked up their trophies and strapped them to his back. The girl looked at him with a smile. Funny how they always do that' he thought. The predator didn't care. He only saved her life, because it would be dishonorable to sit there and watch an unarmed prey be slaughtered. Netak folded up his spear and put it away. He jumped up back on the catwalk and exited the building. The hunter reactivated his cloak and went back to the ship wondering where four Predaliens could come from.
