So who saw the new Predator movie? I personally liked it but the CGI kinda ruined it for me in regards to a certain character in the movie.
Summary: Lex thought she would never see the Predator that marked her with a mysterious symbol ever since the battle in Antartica. While leading yet another expedition, this time in the jungles of the Amazon, she runs into the very same alien that had been on her mind since. How will Scar react to seeing her after recovering from his near fatal wound?

Chapter XI
The thick vastness of the forest stretched on for miles and miles as the ship finally broke through the atmosphere, giving Lex a good view of the planet for the first time. The location instantly brought back memories of her time spent in the Amazon rainforest, and a smile broke out on her face. Thankfully her helmet hid her expression from view because she didn't want Scar to see her smiling like a creepy person to herself.
"We arrive," Scar said, piloting their ship to land in a secluded area before activating the ship's camouflage.
The group disembarked the ship and activated their cloaking devices, then began trekking through the lush jungle. Lex was glad she had armor because everywhere she looked, there were dead bodies littering the entire forest floor. The last thing she wanted was to be pricked by a skeleton. She definitely did not want to experience that goop thing Scar used on her hand again.
"Careful," Scar warned.
The group stopped and hid behind a large tree when their masks picked up traces of footsteps and noise from ahead.
"Humans?" Lex asked, pressing a button on her helmet to filter out the sounds.
"Yes."
Why are there oomans here on this planet? I thought it was only other Yautja like us, Dagger chirped.
We'll find out soon enough.
They continued their surveillance until something caught Lex's eye.
"Up there," she pointed out.
The Predators followed her finger and saw things falling down from the sky.
What is going on?
That must be how they get their prey to this planet, Storm noted.
"There's voices up ahead," Lex said.
The group continued to stealthily make their way towards the source of the noise. Soon they came upon a clearing and noticed a group of armed humans accusing one another of bringing each other to the planet. One of the guys somehow managed to talk the others into calming down, only to start right back up when another new person stumbled into view from one of the bushes.
Should we hunt them? I could do with some more ooman trophies in my room, Dagger said excitedly.
No. Our priority is to rescue the sain'ja the Elders discovered. Securing him is the most important.
Dagger seemed disappointed but Scar was the leader of the group and his word was the final say. Lex pushed a few buttons on he wrist-comp and a partial map popped up with a beeping circle.
"The captured Predator should be nearby," she said.
"Wait," Scar stopped the group from moving and indicated towards a direction in the distance. Switching to infrared vision on her mask, Lex could make out three outlines in the distance that suspiciously resembled Predators, only there was something off with the silhouettes.
"They're so much bigger..." she breathed in shock.
"Not same as us. Different Yautja," Scar confirmed.
"But...there's only three of them."
"Either here for dtai'kai'dte or they are ic'jit."
"Or maybe both?" Lex suggested.
Scar made a noise in agreement.
"But why are they so big? I thought you guys were huge but...they're enormous," Lex whispered.
"Different tribe. Not all Yautja look same," Scar explained.
They're going after the oomans.
Glaive pointed a finger towards the humans, drawing their attention back to the armed group. They were slowly moving through the jungle while scouting their surroundings the entire time, never once letting their guard down. The group was able to see the other Predators tracking them through their Bio-Masks, but Lex felt pity for the humans who were unable to see anything.
A part of her wanted to shout and warn the group about the dangers they were going to face, but the more rational side of her prevented that from happening. The worst case scenario she didn't want to happen was for the larger Predators to hunt them down instead of the humans. However, it didn't mean she wasn't going to help them if the opportunity arose.
"Should we warn them?" she whispered, gripping Scar's upper arm tightly.
"No. This not involve us. We go," he replied.
"Wait!"
The armed group suddenly took off running when they heard rustling noises all around. Switching visions on their masks yet again, the smaller entourage could make out figures chasing the humans from the shadows. Lex studied the images carefully and realized they resembled canines, only more muscular and bulky. This was definitely not a dog from Earth, because these canines had thick armor and spikes growing on their backs.
"What are those?"
"Not know. Never seen before."
We should kill one of them as a trophy, Storm suggested.
After we save the sain'ja, Scar remarked.
Following the signal on the map to where the Predator was supposedly held, the group came upon a clearing full of trophies and the crucified Yautja hanging from a totem pole. Scar deactivated his cloaking but signaled to the others to remain hidden while he went to confirm the situation. Lex was apprehensive and stuck close to Glaive in case something happened.
Who are you?! the Predator demanded as Scar approached.
I am Scar. We were given orders to rescue you from this place.
It's useless. You can't beat them.
Who is them?
The others, the stronger ones. They killed my entire clan and left me alive to torment me. You might as well just end my life here!
Scar was taken aback by what the Predator was telling him.
We saw the three you spoke of earlier, tell me who they are.
They have no names but I have heard the oomans call them Berserker, Tracker, and Falconer.
"Scar! They're coming! Get out of there!" Lex hissed when they heard noises coming from the back.
We'll be back, next time we'll save you.
If they haven't already killed me, sure.
Activating his camouflage to blend in with his surroundings, Scar and his group quickly departed the camp before the other three Super Predators returned.
Making their way from the camp in order to devise a plan for rescuing the Yautja, the group paused at the base of a tree and after checking the perimeter to ensure it was safe, everyone deactivated their cloaking devices.
"So what are we going to do now?" Lex asked, looking at Scar since he was the one who spoke to the Predator.
"Make plan, free fellow sain'ja."
"Please tell me we aren't going to fight those other Predators," Lex said.
"Elder said not to engage."
Glaive cracked his head several times as a way of protesting the order but Scar gave him a sharp look.
"We make plan," Scar said and the group huddled together.
-Somewhere on the other side of the forest-
Another group of Predators slowly made their way through the thick jungle, silently searching for any signs of their captured brethren. Leading the group was Winter, a seasoned warrior who trained under Wolf, and earned the title of Elite prior to joining the clan. The Elders were more than happy to welcome him into their ranks, but it took a long time for the other warriors to warm up to Winter, due to his unorthodox way of studying other fighting techniques besides those of the Yautja. What set him apart from the others back on the ship was his use of two guns used by humans, modified to fit his usage.
Snow trailed behind her leader quietly since the others didn't waste time associating with her. Her smaller size and mixed heritage made her a target for the other Yautja back on board the ship, even if her father was a renowned fighter. Not to mention her eyes, eyes with no pupils that seemed to stare into the souls of the other Yautja. It was this very reason Snow chose to keep her mask on all the time, except when in the presence of her parents or her room.
"We've been searching for the entire day, and still no signs of the captured sain'ja. Should we take a break and hunt something else for sport?" Javelin asked, having been asked to join the group by Winter himself.
"Tired already? I'm surprised," Dart said from behind his friend.
"Shut it. I hear something up ahead," Winter replied.
Keeping their cloaking activated to prevent being seen, the group made their way towards the source of the noise as indicated by their Bio-Masks.
"Oomans up ahead," Snow said briefly.
Indeed they could make out a group of humans, all armed, slowly trudging their way through the dense forestry. As much as Winter wanted to hunt one of them for a trophy, the Elder's words echoed deep within his mind.
"Our priority is the warrior."
The group turned and began leaving when they ran into another group of warriors.
Lex was trailing behind Scar after they made a plan to rescue the Predator from the others. Glaive lifted her up when she found herself lacking strength to climb over a tall tree root. One of the trees pricked her arm when she accidentally brushed against it, and Lex hurriedly looked her wound over.
"Pauk," she muttered.
The Predators stopped in their tracks and turned to look at her.
"W-What?" she asked nervously.
Did she just say what I think she said? Storm trilled, holding his stomach from laughter.
Oh yea. I heard it too, Dagger added.
"Why are they laughing at me?" Lex turned to Scar for an answer.
"You curse in our language."
"Oh..well...I've been hearing everyone say it on the ship and I kinda...yea," she admitted sheepishly.
That only made the others laugh even harder.
Scar suddenly held up a hand sharply to signal for silence and they immediately shut up.
Another group was slowly approaching their proximity and everyone drew their weapons in anticipation of an attack. Scar drew a dagger from the side of his armor and was about to leap out when he recognized the newcomers.
Winter? Scar called.
Scar? It's you.
The two groups deactivated their cloaking and stared at one another.
