Prologue
"Predator language"
thought
In low Orbit over of the Earth...
Long Tusk growled as he watched the young hunters prepare for the hunting expedition. He was shorter and leaner than any of the others but his scars and injuries would make any veteran hunter proud. He had tusks like the other Predators, but longer as his name implies. He was not satisfied as he watched the trainees. He needed an heir the tribe and none of these warriors could even touch him in a match. According to the laws of the tribe the warrior that can defeat the current chieftain would be highly honored and the leader of the tribe of predators. He glazed out the window of the ship looking on the next planet to seek a worthy opponent. Later On Earth, China, Night time...
"Pop, don't make me go in there again!" Ranma struggled with his father as Genma was attempting to teach Ranma the Neko-ken.
"Get in there boy, don't be a girl!" Genma successfully pushed Ranma into the dark pit of cats. Genma instantly closed the hatch and smiled at the yowling of the cats and the screams of his son. Soon he will learn the Neko-ken and I will be set for life! Genma began to dream of a luxurious retirement... by living off his son of course. Then everything was silent. Curiously, Genma opened the hatch only to feel the greatest pain he has ever felt as he was mauled by his son.
On a roof nearby...
Long Tusk shivered as he turned up the heat in his hunting mesh. He was disappointed at what he saw. The inhabitants were not strong enough. The hunting parties could not find a good opponent either. None of them found an opponent worthy enough to hunt and left the people in their business. Their cloaking devices made them undetectable to plain site. Long Tusk turned up the temperature to the mesh. Why does this planet have to be so damned cold. He watched a man in a T-shirt walk down the street How do these creatures survive in such cold temperatures. Suddenly he heard hissing behind him. Ranma hissed at the strange figure, he could see ripples of the figure, and it gave off a strange smell. Long Tusk only stared at the boy in front of him. Why didn't I sense him? Long Tusk had to admit it was a challenging task to sneak up on a Hunter.
Ranma suddenly attacked at insanely high speed which caught Long Tusk by surprise and quickly dodge the attack. He turned around and glared at Ranma. Is this one challenging me? I see great potential in this one He felt a stinging feeling in his arm and looked down. His eyes widen as he saw a long gash down his forearm to his elbow and he grinned under his mask as he watched his glowing blood drip to ground. This should be interesting. Long Tusk extended his wrist blades and slashed at Ranma, who dodged and clawed through the breast plate of Long Tusk's hunting armor. Long Tusk fired his shoulder blaster only to miss his target and to be slashed several times in the legs. The battle continued for at least hours before Long Tusk manage to knock Ranma unconsious. Long Tusk looked at the still form. Then he looked at himself. He was covered in cuts and gashes. The armor he wore was now useless. Half his body was covered in his own greenish glowing blood. Long Tusk quickly opened a compartment that held medicines and surgical tools to mend his wounds. He looked back at the boy again, and then he picked Ranma up and jumped roof to roof toward his ship.
Years later...
The hunters cheered as Long Tusk was knocked out the arena. They would now have a new chieftain. Long Tusk looked at the young hunter that had defeated him and looked in pride of his pupil. On the arena Ranma (aka Outsider to the predators), he roared and the tribe roared in return. Ranma smiled as he walked down from the arena tiredly. Ever since Ranma was brought to them, his influence in human honor, and duty had spread throughout the tribe. They no longer kill sentient species for sport, instead the protected them from stronger and greedy empires of their own kind. Now the other species worship them as their protecting gods. The other Predator Tribes had thought of these ideas to be a weakness scorned them for their strange ideals. However, they respected the tribe because the warriors were fierce because of something called martial arts that caused many warriors of their tribes to leave in order to learn it.
In Ranma's cabin, moments later...
"I don't know if I should praise you or despise you" A tall predator spoke after the Ranma exited the arena. He was tall and bulky due to his muscles. He had bluish hunting armor and had a black stripe running down his forehead.
"Hmmm I know that you wanted to beat Long Tusk to be chief, Stripe" Ranma chuckled. He had his hair tied in a pig-tail and had a red band at the end. He was currently wearing his black hunter armor and polishing his hunting spear. He stopped to look at the blade fondly as he compacted the weapon. He then placed it on the wall next to his battle spear. It was obvious how the two were different, the hunting spear was a straight pointed weapon which was used for stabbing during traditional hunts, the battle spear, however, was a heavier weapon that resembled a double ended glaive which was great for stabbing and slicing. Ranma laid back down on his bed obviously tired from his match with Long Tusk. Ranma was a well muscled teenager now, but so much to be bulky, and lean enough to be doing gymnastics. He and Stripe had been friends ever since he became part of the tribe in the beginning. He had been named Outsider for obvious reasons because of Predator traditions, their warriors are named on how they look or their actions.
"What are you going to do now, Outsider?"
Ranma was about to answer Stripe's question when suddenly the door of his cabin flung open. A short predator wearing dirty green armor rushed into his cabin.
"Outsider! A Black Razor tribe shuttle crashed on your home planet carrying bugs!" Shorty announced.
Ranma eyes narrowed, he remembered the bugs. Insectoid creatures that infect entire planets. The creatures had blood like acid and are extremely deadly. The Black Razor tribe was one of tribes Ranma disliked the most because they would often litter worlds with the eggs of these savage creatures with no respect to the inhabitants. They only cared about hunting the ultimate 'prey' and leave the planet to have the inhabitants to fend for themselves if the hunt failed. But Ranma had been watching Earth to keep himself from forgetting his origins and to remember his home and saw the rise of Crystal Tokyo. He was confident that the Sailor Senshi and Earth's armies could handle it, but Shorty broke him the bad news.
"And it was carrying a Queen!"
Ranma's eyes widened, if there was a Queen then there would be endless amount of bugs attacking no matter how many were destroyed. It didn't help when these monstrosities multiply as fast as rabbits. Ranma growled as he picked up his mask from the podium with Kanji carved into the forehead for stallion.
"Gather the hunting parties, we're going to Earth!"
Later, Earth, Crystal Tokyo...
Ever since the ship full of Aliens crashed the Aliens started to rampage throughout the world. Crystal Tokyo was a sanctuary because of the magical barrier set up by the Sailor Senshi, unfortunately the all Inner Sailor Senshi had to concentrate on the barrier. To make things worse the Aliens had built a nest near by preventing more people from entering Crystal Tokyo. Usually the outer Senshi had to provide cover for civilians wanting to come to Crystal Tokyo. Usually not succeeding. Today was such a day. A woman made a suicidal run to Crystal Tokyo. The Outer Senshi was caught unaware that a person would try such a thing. Soon thousands of Aliens gave chase on their next victim. The outer senshi soon started to throw their attacks at the Aliens. But as they take one down more take their place. But then there was a ship, which was white and really big, that was moving to the nest. The Aliens knew if they were to last on this world the nest was to be protected. A huge beam came from the ship set the nest on fire and burned all that was in the nest or close to it.
The Aliens began to shriek in outrage as they realize the nest was destroyed. The people in Crystal Tokyo watch in awe at the burning ruins that held so much grief and horror. The ship began to land and opened a large door. A tsunami of claws, teeth, and sickled tails rushed into the opening only to have a deadly volley of beams to cut them down. The people of the city gasped as the hunters rushed out of the ship and attack the Aliens. NeoQueen Serenity watched as the hunters clashed against the monstrosities that would have destroyed the city.
The Battle field outside Crystal Tokyo...
Stripe lifted a huge (and heavy) Beam cannon, aiming it toward the incoming enemy. The others noticed this and immediately leaped out of the way. A reddish beam decimated the area in front of Stripe. The Aliens' forces have already been cut to a half. Shorty quickly swung his sword leaving an Alien without its head and at the same time shot another with a scatter gun. Long Tusk threw his razor disks cutting several Aliens in half.
Meanwhile nearby...
The woman was running and stopped watch the battle between the Aliens and Predators. Kasumi heard a hissing sound and fearfully looked around but saw nothing. Suddenly an Alien came out of the ground rushed at her, she began to scream. She wasn't out of the evacuation when the first wave of Aliens first came because she ran back to get an heirloom that once belonged to her deceased mother. Her other family members was already in Crystal Tokyo with her father's friend during the time. She had somehow managed to hide from these fierce insectoid creatures but tried her best to reach the safety of the city.
A strange ripple in the air knocks the Alien off its intended target. She gasped as a hunter in black armor attacked the Alien with a wicked spear. The Alien dodged the attack and slashing at him knocking the mask off the hunter revealing his face. Kasumi eyes widened, it was a boy. Ranma charged with his spear, but a quick movement of the Alien's tail knocked out of his hands and leaped on top of him. Ranma grabbed both arms to hold the Alien at bay. The Alien suddenly opened its mouth and another shot out of it and nearly reached Ranma's face. Ranma mentally ordered his shoulder blasters to fire. Normally a Predator would have one, but since he was the chief of the tribe he was required to have two. Ranma extended his wrist blades slashed at the Alien's throat. That was enough for the Alien to back away. It hissed at him and cut Ranma's leg with its sickled tail. Ranma roared in pain and slashed at the Aliens neck in rage and removed its head.
Ranma took a deep breathe and looked over to the ship, apparently they have won the battle. Then he looked over to Kasumi, trying to remember Japanese that he hasn't spoken in so long.
"Are you alright?" Ranma asked her in a strange foreign accent.
Kasumi blushed at her savior holding the heirloom close to her heart. "Y-y-yes"
Ranma looked to city and watch the outer senshi walked toward him in suspicion. Ranma had only one thought at mind. Well, at least I'm home again
Author's notes
I couldn't get this idea outta my head. I also revised this chapter because it was too short with little detail so I hope this was better than the original.
