Disclaimer: Don't own Predator, depressing but true. And does anyone know who owns Predator?
Special mentions:
Wow, I have a lot of reviews for the last chapter....I know you all want me.
wicked falcon: You hunger for more? Baby, I can give you more.
Tain89: You were sick too? You gave it to me didn't you. All the way from the United States. You and that thing with antlers that you keep as a pet gave it to me. That's right, I read your profile. What of it?
Ajestice: Welcome, oh, ardent reader. Your praise strengthens thy typing fingers, and expands thine ego. PS. You can say I'm good at story telling, but if you ask my mum she would say I'm good at bullshitting.
.eyeX: Yeah, I got the line by thinking 'How would describe myself in bed?'. Lol, but seriously...I am that good.
SesshiraRayu: I'm killing you! Quick, what's your address? I'll send and ambulance. (ha har har, you know I'm funny and Puntastic...ok, even I have to admit that joke was lame).
Ginstar3: Hey Baby. I can't recall what I meant, but lets go with what you said. I think I meant what I typed. But on a more important note, You're in New York? No wonder you didn't turn up at 8. Baby, I will give you the time you need to get plane tickets.
Dyanasty Artemis: Did you know that the penalty for not reviewing is death.....by amazing Yautja sex?
8yume: You can smell a break out? Wow, I wish I could do that (har,har. I'll just go drown myself with my lame jokes)
Lost Blonde: You really like my story, well, I really like you. It's just how things work.
Ezzakanezza: Ezza...I love you dude. Just thought you'd want to know.
Shadowdog85: You love me. Wow, you should fight with Ezza (as seen above) for my attention. I'll go sit on a balcony, so everyone can see how distressed I look when you fight.
RandomReviewer:....umm, your name is very explanatory. I mean you couldn't try to spice it up a little. You know, maybe Randomlyawesomeness, or Ravin'Reviewer, or Ididn'tHaveToReviewYouBitch. But in all seriousness, I appreciate your honesty in your review.
Elinai:...r u Ezza?
Nova was laying with her back pressed against the glass, feeling Ti'kon's warmth as it seeped through, pretending there was nothing between them, when the white gas started to fill her cell.
'Show time'
Ti'kon started growling, as they both watched it fill the roof of her cell. He really was sweet for an alien.
Smiling, Nova turned to him, "Don't worry Big guy, I'm use to this. I'm a big girl I can take care of myself"
She hoped to reassure him somewhat, and calm herself for what she was about to do. When the gas reached half way down her cell, she closed her eyes and relaxed, bracing herself she took one last breath in and held it.
'One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi...'
She counted mentally, feeling the air grow dense around her face. She could do this, she had been practising and timing how long she could go with out breathing. Nova felt her heart beating and forced it to slow down, beat slowly, use less oxygen.
'Thirty Mississippi...'
She was feeling uncomfortable now, but her body was taking the abuse well.
'Fifty Mississippi...'
Her head was getting light now, but she fought it, slowing her heart to a crawl.
Finally, the hissing noise of the vents sounded. Dragging the gas from her cell. Nova held her breath for a little longer not wanting risk all her hard work. When it felt safe, she took a tentative breath in. Her lungs demanded a full draw, but she paced herself, breathing in slowly, bringing her heart rate back up.
Her cell door opened and Nova heard people enter. She stayed still, forcing herself not to move. They had to take her out of the cell before she acted. Rough hands grabed her and lifted.
Two sets of hands.
She was roughly placed on a metal surface.
'fucking cold!'
Nova fought a twitch, as she felt her gown being torn from her. She heard a familiar growling sound in the air.
"Sullivin, check out big and ugly getting all pissed cause we're handling his chick"
'Damn right he's pissed',she thought as rough hands poked at her just healed stitches, 'and now so am I'
"Yes, we are stumped as to why he interacts with her"
A female voice coming from around her head.
"Messed up if you ask me, but this could prove interesting if we let it develop"
'How 'bout I develop my foot up your ass'
Nova fought the rage coursing through her. Staying limp when she really wanted to take action.
Hurt them like they had hurt her for years.
The two men and woman, checked all her vitals, prying her eye open and shining a light into it, she didn't even twitch, her time was coming.
"Well, one thing is for sure. Her health has improved since he arrived"
'Yes it has'
"We'll get more information from her yet, maybe her DNA is compatible with the Predator. If it is, it will open up whole new possibilities for the research"
'Those possibilities are none of your business bitch'
The table was moving and the swish of her cell door sounded in her ears. She widened her senses targeting their heart beats, and the sounds of them breathing. She easily located them.
A man at her feet, a man at her head, the woman to the side.
She was out of her cell, the door swishing shut.
A needle was being pressed into her arm.
Nova burst into action.
Opening her eyes. She grabbed the man's hand with the syringe. Surprised he offered no resistance as she jamed the needle up into the side of his neck, pressing down on the plunger, she calculated the force and placement of the needle, knowing she had injected the liquid under his skull, into his brain. The man fell. She kicked out, smashing her foot into the other man's face.
She was off the table in a flash, putting her whole weight behind it she pushed the metal table into the woman with a clipboard. Wedging her against the wall, winding her.
She turned back to the man who was not convulsing on the floor with a needle in his throat, and brought her palm up fast and hard into his face. A satisfying crunch rent the air as Nova forced his nose back into his head. Blood spurted from the wound as he fell limp to the ground, most likely dead.
Nova felt a twinge from her conciseness but ignored it, the asstards deserved this.
Swinging back around to the woman, she grabbed the gasping blond by the neat bun in her hair and slamed her against the wall next to a cell door.
"Open this door", Nova growled.
"Please-"
"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR"
With trembling hands the woman swiped a card hanging from a cord around her neck into a keypad and typed in five numbers. Nova memorised the code.
"Will this open all doors?", Nova hissed.
"No"
It was a lie, the blonds heart rate had kicked up with the word. Nova tore the card and cord from the woman's neck, ignoring her pained cry. Using her hair Nova slamed the scientist's face into the wall again, knocking her out, possibly killing her, she didn't care. They hadn't cared about her. They had turned her into this and now they were going to pay.
The door to the room hissed open and she was greeted by the sight of Ti'kon pacing in his cell. His turned to her, eyes wide, strange hair swinging.
"I told you I was a big girl. Now grab your bags handsome, we're busting out of this joint"
Nova didn't wait for him, she hastily threw on her discarded robe and dashed to the other cell next to hers, swiping and keying in the code. The door opened. K'on was waiting at the entrance.
"I suppose I have to take you too"
K'on growled and pushed past her to join Ti'kon who had reached her side. The two Yautja surveyed their surroundings taking in the bodies she had brought down with her bare hands.
"There is not time for taking in scenery guys, more people will be coming, we have to move"
Just as she said that the lights started flashing.
"WARNING, EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY"
A siren started to sound, annoying Nova with how 'B' movie this felt.
Nova heard a set of footsteps come running down the hall, and let her instincts kick in.
When the scientist turned the corner she was already moving with the freakish speed they had captured her for. Her arm out she collected the moving man in the stomach ,flipping him, she pushed down on his chest as he fell. He hit the floor with a crack, his head bouncing.
He was dead.
Wasting no time she was standing again, looking to the surprised Yautja.
"Well come on", she frowned at them, motioning them to follow.
Finally they started moving, and for big guys they were surprisingly fast and quiet, their feet making little noise as they ran behind her. Speeding down a new hall way with Nova leading, she listened for others. She found one. Veering of course, she burst through an unlocked door.
A man, no, a boy, he looked around sixteen, was rummaging through papers, hurriedly. There were computers everywhere about fifteen of them and a control panel of some sort in the corner.
The boy turned from his rummaging to see who had come in.
He screamed, a high pitched, my-balls-haven't-droped-yet scream.
Nova watched him clutch the papers to his chest, his eyes focused behind her.
Nova smiled knowing it was the Yautja who were spooking the boy.
"No, no, no", he said, "They aren't real they only have that dead one in that tube, with all that other stuff"
His words spured Nova into action. She was over the other side of the room quickly, grabbing the boy by the throat, lifting him up against the filing cabinet.
"What other one, are you keeping another alien here?"
The boy wasn't even fighting, he hung limply shaking in her hold.
"NO", he screamed, "I-I don't know. I was-wasn't supposed to go into that room. I don't have that clearance I just-just do computer stuff"
Nova loosened her hold somewhat, knowing the boy would give her information without force.
"What was in this room?"
"One of th-them", he nodded over to Ti'kon, eyes wide as the alien and Nova focused on him, "I though it was dead- it was in like a stasis-stasis tube thing. but then it mo-moved and I ran. I wouldn't have gone in if I hadn't seen the weapons...and stuff"
She felt Ti'kon draw close, noises busting from him, he was saying something in his language. The boy trembled hard in her grasp, and an unpleasant smell accompanied it. He had wet himself.
Why did he have to do that?
"Where is this room?", she demanded.
"Th-third floor, restricted section C"
"Why are you working here?"
The boy paused to drag in a shaky breath.
"Apprenticeship, Mo-mom said I should take it"
Nova blinked, the boy was so frightened that she hadn't picked up on his accent before but when he said Mom instead of Mum she did.
"What country are we in?"
The boy looked surprised, like this was a trick question.
"America"
Nova didn't let the answer phase her, she should have know that they had shipped her somewhere else to be experimented on. Mad scientists obviously had money, because she wasn't in Australia where they had stolen her from.
"You are very lucky boy. I'm gonna let you go, and you are going to run home to your Mum and say that you quit, and that the jobs too dangerous. Will you do that for me?"
The boy's head nodded franticly.
"Ok"
Nova released him, and watched in amusement as he tore out of the room.
She turned to the Yautja, and paused, they were looking at her strangely.
"What, he was just a boy"
Thinking they were upset that she let him go.
"He still lives with his mother and wet himself because you spoke", she said feeling the need to defend her decision. Ti'kon nodded once and she figured he agreed with her judgement.
"Well, are we off to save your tube friend?"
Ti'kon nodded, and that was all Nova needed, moving again. She paused before leaving the room to rip the fire extinguisher off the wall. It wasn't her choice weapon, but it would have to do.
Opening the door Nova had to quickly jump back as bullets whizzed past, narrowly missing her to hit the door instead, sending wood chips into the air.
Ti'kon was at her side instantly, taking her by the waist, he lifted her, looking her up and down.
"I'm fine Big guy, but I think the cavalry has arrived"
He placed her feet back on the floor, and Nova watched as he went over to the control panel in the corner. With a a growl he griped both sides of the device, and tore it from the wall, wires sparking and hissing in protest. He lifted the weight easily and strode to the door.
Moving himself behind it, he held it like a shield.
"St'ay", he grunted to her as he passed.
'Great, I'm crushing on Heman the alien'
She watched as Ti'kon calmly stepped out of the room, bullets sparking and deflecting off the control panel. With a war cry, he charged. Nova stood Still, heart racing and listened to the sound of guns firing, and then the screaming that soon followed. When the shooting finally stoped. That was all the signal Nova needed as she rushed from the room.
Ti'kon was at the end of the hall, dead bodies surrounding him.
There was five of them, all wearing black, packing some serious guns. Nova spared the Big guy a quick once over for injuries, before grabbing one of the dead men (one that Ti'kon hadn't crushed with the control panel), and striped him of his bullet proof vest. Dropping the fire extinguisher, she pulled on the vest, grabbed the two hand guns she found on him. Not having anywhere to put the extra rounds for the pistols wearing the flimsy gown that she was. Nova tore the man's boots off, and quickly striped off his pants. The boots were too big, but she pulled on the pants and tightened the belt until they fit, stuffing the extra ammo into the large black pockets.
She was off again, stepping over the dead bodies and avoiding the pools of blood. She touched Ti'kon's chest as she past him, reassuring herself that he was alive.
She could hear the sound of two more people running towards them, locating them easily with their thundering steps and heavy breathing. She turned the corner, and fired both the pistols. Quickly calculating where they stood, and taking aim. Both men fell with bullet holes in their heads.
She turned to the two Yautja behind her.
"Would you believe that was the first time I've fired a gun?"
Both aliens stared at her, making her smile.
"Yeah, I know I find it hard to believe too"
