Chapter 4-Unexpected Allies

Ken raced over to Rose, whom was lying in a pool of her own blood. Ken knelt down next to her and asked her, "Rose, what happened?"

Rose began to cry as she said, "Ken behind you, "and let out a final breath. Ken then blacked out and when his sight returned he felt his hand holding a hole in his chest. When he hit the ground he looked up and saw an Alien looking at his face. When the Alien opened his mouth Ken closed his eyes and felt the monsters toung pierce thru his head.

Ken awoke in a sweat and when his eyes adjucted he noticed he was in a prison cell, and by the looks of his surroundings, he was on a downed Military ship. He looked around for Rose, but she wasn't around. He heard his prison door open and saw a Predator walk in. He threw his fist at the Predator, angerly saying, "what did you do with her you son of a.."

Ken was cut off when the predator punched him in the face, knocking him unconcious. When Ken awoke, he was in a huge chamber shackeled to the ground. He guessed that it used to be the bridge. When he looked up he saw two, heavly armed Predators guarding an older, wise looking Predator. Ken got angry and screamed, "Who are you, where am I, Where's Rose?"

The wise Predator stood up and walked over to Ken, stretching his hand toward his head. When the Predators hand touched Ken, he felt like something entered his mind. The Predator closed his eyes and Ken felt a pulse go through the Predators hand into Ken's mind. The voice in his head said, "Human, I am Protos, the elder Predator, do not fear me, I mean no harm."

Ken's expretion went from angered to frightened as he said, "What's going on."

The voice in Ken's head said, "You friend, the one called Rose, is being cleaned and given a new pair of clothes. Ken, the mark on your shoulder, it is the sign of the Pretorian prophacy."

Ken put his hand on the mark and asked, "what are you talking about."

The elder Predator unhooked the shacel, helped Ken up and said, "500 years ago, this planet was known as Septaar, one of three Predator homeworlds. The other two, Plataer and Regarten, were destroyed by the Aliens during the Great Predator Revolution against the evil Alien. The five Elders brought the race of Predators to Septaar to build a new life of peace. Our species had developed a life of peace and prosperity. All the peace ended when the Alien armada attacked our planet, turning the beauty into a desolent wasteland of death and destruction. The Alien killed all of the elders, but myself, I was younger and a great warrior back then. My son and a group of scientists were sent to find able bodied species to help build a Predator super race. I had know idea it would take as long as it did. The Predators were near extinction, when I led a a remaining force of rebels to the hive. The assault on the hive lasted three days and we lost many warriors, but the rebels got to the queens champer and cased her into the abyss on the canyons. Now the aliens are planning a final attack on the Predator race for control of the planet."

Ken stood up and said, "where do I have to do with all of this."

The wise Predator took his hand off of Ken's head and walked back to his seat. He turned around and said, "After the battle a group f warriors descovered a secret room the Aliens didn't know about, and in that room was a tablet from the ancient Predators telling of the arrival of two being with the mark of the hunter that would lead the Predators to victory against there foes. Ken, I believe you are the prophet we were informed of, you can and the war."

Ken thought for a moment and asked, "what about Rose, what's her part in all of this."

Protos sat in his chair and said, "the tablet does not mention the fate of the women, but time has shown us that it happens the way you make it."

One of the Predators walked up to Ken and said, "I will show you to your friend, follow me."

Ken followed the Predator down the corridors and past a room. Ken stopped, looked into the room and asked, "what are they doing?"

The Predator turned around and said, "he ran from battle, getting many of my clansman killed, he has dishonored our race."

Inside the room, one Predator dropped to his knees, and bowed his head. The Predator in the room above pressed a button, and a large PredAlien ran out. The Predator tried to run, but he was torn to shreds. Ken continued to follow the Predator to an old Mess hall where a group of female Predators were serving Rose. She saw Ken, got up, and ran over to hug him. The Predator walked over to them and said, "Human, we have a long trip ahead of us."

Ken looked puzzled and said, "what are you taslking about?"

The Predator looked at Ken and said, "the prophecies say that the chosen ones must partake in a challenge, to prove his loyalty. The wise one told me the only way to prove you are the chosen one is to fight Gwartok."

Ken looked even more puzzled and said, "Gwartok?"

The Predator signalled for Ken to follow and said, "the PredAlien."

Ken became frieghtened and said, "what if I refuse?"

A Predator hit him in the back of the head and while he was falling down the Predator in front of him said, "you have no choice."

When Ken awoke he noticed he was in a room shaped like a collosium. There were Predators in the stand cheering for Ken. Ken had noticed, he was wearing a Predator combat suit, and saw Rose sitting next to the wise Predator. The gate opened and Ken heard a peircing scream from within. A huge PredAlien walked out of the cage and screamed with rage at Ken. When it pounced at Ken, he ran away. Rose began to beg for them to stop. The Predator that knocked him out was in the audience, andd he screamed out to Ken, "human, use the jetpack on your suit."

Ken noticed a device on his arm, the same that the Predator wore, only this one was in english. Ken pressed the button marked with the word jetpack and flew into the air. The PredAlien jumped at Ken, but Ken was smart and moved out of the way causing the PredAlien to hit the wall. The wall shook causing a Prdedator to fall into the battlefeild. The PredAlien saw this and ran over to the Predator.

The predator tried to run, but the Predalien jumped onto him and tore him into pieces. It the pushedshreds aside and jumped at Ken pushing him into the wall. It held him to the wall and opened its mouth. Ken saw the toung preparing to kill him so he did the first thing that came to his mind. He lenthened his blades and stabbed the PrdAlien in the head. The PredAlien fell to the ground and died. The Predators in the audience cheered, while Ken put his arms in the air and screamed to show his victory over the monster. Rose ran into the battlefeild and kissed Ken on the cheek.

The wise Predator walked into the frild and Ken said, "so Protos, am I the Chosen one or not?"

The wise Predator stood up, stretched his hand to the croud and said, "First light tomorrow, the chosen one will lead us into battle. Predators, Prepare to fight!"

The Predators cheered and ran into the field lifting Ken above there heads.
