Chapter 1:
They had been watching them for nearly two days. Behind cold expressionless eyes she watched as the ships readings showed on her screen. Among the many accessories of her suit she prized it's ability to bring the information she needed right upon her eyepieces. Though she had many things in common with her current prey she was not to be mistaken for Yautja. Where they were all bulk and brute strength she and her race were sleek and light. They're suits covered them from head to toe giving them the ability to sustain and repair their bodies but also to attach and integrate technology. She clicked her metal claws upon the ship's consol contemplating her next move. The Yautja had no clue that they were even being tracked, much less unsuspecting prey.
Meanwhile onboard the Yautja ship...
K'trak'iin watched his clan's Unblooded train fiercely in the keh'rite. This would be the third group to go down to the planet. These were the weakest of the clan and as such he had felt that he did not need to lead them himself. He growled, disgusted, as he watched a warrior young and proud be overpowered by one of the just recently blooded warriors with ease. With his luck this batch would all be killed and cleansed from his clan. K'trak'iin's clan had been relatively large to begin with but now with his recent hunts more had flocked to join. While this caused him to beam with pride it gave him no end of irritation when weak Yautja attempted to join. He tugged on one of his ari'nii'ede thinking of the last two Sacred Hunts he had leaded. Such fine warriors had been made that day, a true credit to his clan. He had killed many kainde amedha bringing back only the one that had nearly taken his life. Crouching above him quietly the kainde amedha had not attacked him with his brethren but waited until K'trak'iin had taken down three drones. Not anticipating another attack in the lull the drone surprised the Yautja—if K'trak'iin had rolled a second later the blow he received with the tail would have been fatal. Instead it was K'trak'iin who drove his spear into the drone bestowing the final blow. Bringing his mind back to the present K'trak'iin called out to Vr'telk, the one presently overseeing the Unblooded. Vr'telk walked over to the K'trak'iin with a frown of frustration. He respectfully waited for his clan leader to speak first even though they were close friends.
"You look unhappy Vr'telk."
"How can I not be?" Vr'telk gave a disgusted grunt, "this last group is a disgrace—you see that one over there? He's fallen down on his own 3 times in practice! I don't understand how he even survived to live so long!" K'trak'iin laughed, mandibles clicking, as he sighed to himself—for what he had to say next would infuriate Vr'telk even further. "Well then it's a good thing I'm sending you to guide them through their Blooding ritual."
"WHAT?!" Vr'telk roared, "K'trak'iin you can't be serious!" K'trak'iin's hairless eyebrow rose, though they were friends he was still their Clan leader. Vr'telk turned a darker shade of green then bowed his head, "It would be an honor clan leader." With that said he turned on his heel and went back to training, stopping only to scream at an unfortunate Unblooded in his path.
Planet side...
A seeding ship had been sent and already bodies of local wildlife with burst open chests lay about the grassland clearing. The sleek bodies of drones ripped apart lay festering along side their hosts. Within the nearby forest another single drone ran at top speed. Something was catching up, and catching up damn fast. It stopped for a moment unsure of which way to go. It heard for only a brief moment the snap of a twig, turning its head it faced another Alien. But something was different about this other alien it was sleeker, stronger...and hungry. Screeching its fury the smaller alien turned its head from side to side. Slowly it was surrounded by more of these similar looking though wholly different aliens. Its screams were the last thing it heard as the others pounced and consumed its acidic flesh.
