Author's Note: Well, after having received many e-mails saying I should put in Terminators, I've decided to do so. But keep in mind that I don't intend to give them a major role in this story. I want to stick more to the Aliens and Predators. As for Ripley, Dutch, Harrigan and the other heroes from the original Alien/Predator movies, I don't wish to put them in this story either. But there was one person who suggested to me that I put in a certain hero in 'Alien War' who has fought (according to this story) Aliens and Predators before. Find out who it is this chapter (hint: the chapter title is kind of the big give away). But again, I don't wish to give him a big role either. I think in the next chapter I'll explain more about how the Aliens and Predators came to Earth. And yes, 'Alien War' is going to be quite a long story.

Chapter 5

Part Man Part Machine All Cop

'Not bad for a human.' Lance Henriksen in 'Aliens'.

Davis walked down the pavements of Odaiba after having finished soccer practice at school. The streets were real busy and it wasn't unusual for Davis. It was early in the afternoon and his belly was already growling for food. Davis looked at his watch and saw that it was getting to almost 1 o' clock. He knew he had to get home soon. And besides, Dvais was always in need to rush when he was starving badly. At times like this he always took the dark long alleyway which seemed deserted all the time. And now was the right time to do so. But little did he know that alleyways weren't always the right solution…….

He whistled down the alleyway as he stepped over the large heaps of trash around the floor. Davis smiled happily down the eerie path, humming to himself. Soccer practice today was as usual, most enjoying. Davis managed to score six goals today with not a single injury at all. The entire soccer team and even his coach were quite impressed with his performance. He really showed true team effort. But then these thoughts of Davis soon vanished as he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind his back. At once Davis knew that he was being followed. But by who?

The footsteps would not disappear. The steps sounded like heavy leather boots with the metal parts clinking every time it hit the ground. They kept coming and coming at him every second, waiting to close in on him at the first second possible. Davis could not understand why somebody would be stalking him all this way at this time of the day, but importantly, why? He breathed in deeply, still trying to ignore the noise of the constant marching from his unknown follower. Davis immediately spun round quickly.

"Alright, Mister!……" said Davis to the thin air that had nothing to show him. All that Davis could see was the long narrow path leading back to where he came in.

"Davis, what's wrong?" said DemiVeemon inside of Davis' bag. Davis didn't answer and only shivered in fear. Something certianly was right about this place. It was probably time he ran for it before anything else would……

"Hey!" Davis jumped and turned round again to face a tall policeman dressed in black leather clothes. Davis looked up and saw that the policeman was wearing a helmet and his black shades stared sternly upon the frightened Digidestined. Davis' legs began to shake. "What are you doing here, kid?" Davis tried to calm himself down and cleared his throat.

"Um……just passing by…….I………"

"Kids like you shouldn't be in a place like this, you know. It's dangerous." The policeman said calmly to Davis, "You know, bad things can happen to those who wander around aimlessly into creepy areas like this place." Davis for some reason felt that the policeman was in fact teasing him when he saw his slight smile on his face.

"Oh, yeah!" exclaimed Davis, "And bad things can happen to those who sneak up behind other people's backs!" The smile on the policeman faded changed back into the serious looking face.

"So……the kid's got some serious attitude, huh? Well, then, we'll just see about that." The policeman took out his hand which opened like a giant spider and was ready to clutch onto Davis' brown spiky head. But just when the fingers were about to close in, the policeman paused. Davis looked at him in confusion as he laughed quietly to himself and spread his fingers out again. Instead of gripping Davis' head tightly in a firm grip, he just put his gloved hand in Davis' hair and messed round with it.

"Hey! Watch the hair!" said Davis angrily. After having played with his hair, the policeman folded his arms.

"Just watch what you say, kid." The policeman walked past Davis and marched through the alleyway from where he had entered. "Accidents can happen anywhere, you know, and I mean anywhere."

Once the anonymous cop disappeared, Davis just sighed and just continued walking down the path.

"What's his problem?" Davis said to himself.

"Davis?" said a voice in his bag.

"Yes, DemiVeemon?" answered Davis.

"Who were you talking to?"

"Oh, just some cop who thinks he owns the law. I've never seen anyone dressed like him before round here. That's odd. I wonder where he's from."

"Oh, don't let it bother you, Davis." Said DemiVeemon.

"You're right. I shouldn't be afraid of him. He's only trying to protect Odiaba anyway, isn't he?" a voice was heard just at the end of the alleyway.

"Hey, Davis!" Yolei waved at Davis beside Ken who was with her.

"Yolei! Ken! Hi you guys!" Davis waved back. "What's happening?"

"Ken and I were going to the shopping malls to look at some things. You want to come?" said Yolei.

"Yeah, why not? But hey, do you want to maybe grab a bite at my place before we go?"

"That'll be great! What about you, Ken?"

"I don't mind." Said Ken.

"Alright! To my place!" Davis jumped excitedly.

Elsewhere……

"Take a look at this guys." Izzy showed the photograph the strange looking shedded skin. "Willis sent me this through e-mail. He didn't know what it was and I was wondering if you knew anything about it, Joe." Izzy handed the photo to Joe while Cody looked at it with him. The small screaming children around them in the park didn't seem to off putting the young geniuses. Still, they could not find an answer.

"I haven't got a clue." Said Joe shaking his head.

"It's definitely not from any kind of snake I know." Said Cody rubbing his head.

"Hmmm. I wonder if the others can tell us what it is. Or maybe even Gennai. Not even my computers can tell me what it is. This is really bothering me, you guys……" But as Izzy kept on talking, Cody's eyes widened as he saw a three people outside the park gates staring at him silently in an evil kind of twist. Joe and Izzy took no notice of Cody as they talked to each other.

In front of Cody's eyes, there stood 'Tai', between 'Matt' and 'Sora' on each side. They all glanced at him with the same facial expressions. They were so quiet. And their eyes were filled with nothing but emptiness. But most peculiar of all, their eyes seemed to slightly glow with an infra-red color. The three 'Digidestined' stared closely at Cody, Izzy and Joe. They listened said nothing and began to listen to the conversation between the three boys.

Cody turned back to the boys in the most panicking manner.

"Joe! Izzy!" cried Cody breaking a drop of sweat. "You're never going to believe what I just saw."

"What is it, Cody?" said Joe fixing his glasses.

"Y….you know Tai…..and Sora were supposed to be together right now at Tai's apartment? Right?"

"Right." Said Izzy.

"And….and….you know that Matt was….s…..supposed to be in New York performing a concert at Mimi's school?"

"Yeah." Said Izzy and Joe.

"W….w…….w…….well……." Cody began to point behind Izzy to where he saw the three 'Digidestined', who were now nowhere to be seen. Izzy and Joe looked at each other after having looked at where Cody was pointing.

"Well what?" said Joe in puzzlement.

"They were there! I saw them!" Cody said.

"Calm down, Cody, you seem a little tense this today." Said Izzy.

"Did you sleep well last night?" said Joe. Cody did all he could to settle down.

"I…..I guess I was just imagining things. Must be some……er……optical illusion. Sorry you guys." Cody gave a grin. Joe and Izzy stared at him for a few seconds before continuing on with their talk. Cody sighed and tried to get back into what Izzy was saying.

Elsehwere………

New York……..

"We welcome you to New York City!" the announcer in the airport said. Matt and his band came out of their terminal gate after most of the other people in his flight had left.

"Hey, Matt, come on! There's a limo waiting for us outside!" shouted Matt's band as they ran down the airport with Matt walking behind. Before Matt could catch up with them, however, screams crowds of girls and began to form from left to right, closing in on Matt and running at his direction.

"Um…..Just wait for me, guys! I think I'll be a bit busy here!" smiled Matt waving back at his band.

Matt's band had really grown big in Odaiba. It hadn't been s long since the girls in America were listening to his music. Matt was now almost a star. He ever wondered if he would be able to keep this fame up. But nevertheless, there was always someone Matt had minds on. And that someone was waiting for him at the school he was performing in.

"Okay, girls. One at a time. Don't push. And there's no need to panic." But before Matt could say more the girls ran directly past the blond Digidestined and their screaming grew louder as they all reached to the terminal gate from where Matt had come out.

Matt gasped in amazement as another person came out of the gate. It looked as if somebody else was also big in town too. Jealousy was not Matt's first thought as he saw what was happening. Instead he walked back to the gate and tried to see whoever else famous was on his flight as well. To his surprise, there also happened to be some news reporters trying to get through the crowd of cheering young girls.

"Today, New York's streets better beware, because somebody new is in town today!" said one news reporter.

"Yes, that's right! The NYPD is getting one of America's greatest Police Officers ever to exist!" said another.

"And here he comes!" the shouts of the girls rose to a high level that made Matt have to clog his ears with his hands.

A tall man covered completely in blue silver plating walked out of the gate. He wore a helmet which covered his head and only his mouth could be seen from all that metallic armor. Black shady glass on the helmet made him able to see properly. The strange looking man looked around at his surroundings. All the screaming girls and all those curious news reporters. He gave no reaction to any of them. Matt gazed upon the new celebrity. He wondered who he was.

It didn't take long for the armored man to spot Matt in the crowd. For a few quiet seconds he stared at the young teenager before approaching him slowly without hesitation. Matt stood still as the stranger walked up to him and took out his metal hand. Everyone else stared at Matt in great astonishment.

"Matt Ishida, I presume." He said.

"That's me." said Matt raising his brow and slowly taking out his hand to shake his. "How…."

"I've heard about you. You're pretty big in Odiaba, I hear. You should be proud."

"Gee, um, thanks." Said Matt.

"Nice meeting you, Mr. Ishida." The man said as he walked past Matt trying to get past all the people surrounding him. Matt turned back at him.

"Nice meeting you, too Mr…….."

"Call me Murphy." The man answered before he disappeared from the long corridor.

Author's Note: I really have a vague memory on Terminator and on 'you know who' at the very moment. Any info on them you may know please e-mail me, otherwise I might make some things wrong. And could somebody also please tell me the names of the other Digidestined from around the world? I still haven't got too many replies on that. Thanks! And once again, I can't promise when I can get the next part out. I'm very with many other stories so far. ^_^

BTW: Do you know who Matt saw in the airport?
