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?

The screams of the Young-Bloods being slaughtered echoed loudly despite Lex covering her ears. Her eyes were snapped shut in an attempt to avoid looking at the carnage. It was all over too soon and by the time her eyes opened up again, the only thing that greeted her was pure carnage and blood. It seemed the Predalien had torn its former brethren to bits and pieces, sparing nothing in its wrath.
"You monster!" Lex cried as the Predalien turned its attention to her, only for Keera to screech for it to back off.
Echo clicked his mandibles together.
"No. I am not the monster here. My people are, they became monsters the moment they started experimenting on Keera."
By now the guards had come around to check on the status and many of them were repulsed by the sight inside the cell. They were not ready to see what the carnage would be like and many ended up passing out.
Eventually the doors opened again and this time Va'Alu walked in with her entourage. The High Priestess merely gave a curt nod to Lex and went over to the cells to admire the new Predalien that was standing there.
"Is this the new offspring?" she asked Echo.
"Yes, the ultimate offspring."
Va'Alu nodded her head in acknowledgement and said something to her entourage. Several of them stepped away from the group while Va'Alu focused her attention back on Echo and the newly born Predalien.
"We have prepared the proper stage for our deities to display their prowess. If you'd come with us please," the High Priestess said.
Lex stepped forward and tried to say something but the group pretty much walked past her swiftly before she even got a chance to open her mouth. Echo grabbed her by the arm and made her follow after them.
"Why are you doing this? They're innocent people! You can't just slaughter them like nothing!"
"I agree this has nothing to do with the inhabitants of this planet, but they will be my stepping stone to revenge. If they're so willing to offer themselves as volunteers, then who am I to deny them that glory?" the Predator responded calmly.
It seemed all the inhabitants of the planet were gathered in one place to watch their deities and give praise. Lex momentarily shielded her eyes from the bright sun after spending several days inside the palace. She could hear cheering and yelling from below as the audience shouted their praises. Va'Alu was wearing a regal ritual gown befitting the High Priestess of the planet, and her entourage were dressed in identical outfits. From where she stood, Lex could see several young Predators in cages being guarded, and immediately she tried to scan the surrounding for signs of Scar and the others.
There's no way they wouldn't have seen their fellow Predators and not come to save them.
It took a while of careful scrutinizing, but eventually Lex found Scar and the others camouflaged from sight, a little above where the audience were situated. It seemed they were biding their time to strike.
Thankfully it seemed Echo hadn't noticed anything amiss since he was too busy petting Keera.
Va'Ilu arrived soon after and the look of distress on his face said it all.
I have tried to convince my sister that this is a bad idea, but she cannot be swayed from her visions.
Your people will die if this continues! Is that what she wants? Lex responded, letting the other sense the urgency in her voice.
Their communication was cut off as Va'Alu raised her staff in the air. Everyone silenced themselves as they looked at their High Priestess in reverance.
"My people! Our deities have graced us with new children! Soon we will show the rest of the barbarians beyond these walls who reigns supreme!"
The audience roared in agreement as Va'Alu continued speaking.
Keera screeched and everyone looked at the towering Alien Empress.
"Bring the prisoners forward!" Va'Alu commanded.
The Predators were forced out of the cages and towards the offering pedestals where eggs were brought forth by other servants. Lex held her breath as the guards forced the Young-Bloods onto the stones.
"No! You can't let this happen!" Lex screamed.
A blast from a plasma cannon alarmed the entire crowd as the eggs exploded in unison.
Now!
Scar gave the order as the others fired their weapons in unison.
The eggs exploded simultaneously as chaos erupted below. The inhabitants of the planet screamed in terror and started running around, scrambling over one another in an attempt to escape death.
Scar jumped down and ignored the screaming citizens as the rest of his group made their way towards the stage. The Predator kept his eyes on Lex, making sure she was unharmed before looking towards Echo.
Echo said something to Keera and the hard meat queen screeched.
All the other hard meats that had been hiding emerged from their places and hissed at the Predators, including the abomination that had been born recently.
Kill them all!
What about the queen and Echo?
I'll take care of it.
Dagger ran on ahead and managed to get Lex out of harm's way just as one of the hard meats tried to attack her. Thanks to Dagger's lithe frame, he quickly made his way back towards where Scar was and put her on the ground.
"Scar!"
"Hide," Scar said to her.
"No! I can fight!"
"No armor, will die."
"Screw the armor! I can't just let them get away with this!" Lex argued, her stubborness showing despite her awareness that she was more vulnerable without her armor and mask to aid her.
The Predator growled and pushed Lex aside to blast a hard meat away as it tried to sneak up on them. The others were busy fighting off the serpents while a few were distracted fighting the abomination in a corner.
"Scar!"
Another growl escaped Scar's mandibles but the Predator pulled out a shuriken and dagger from his belt. He handed them over to Lex and growled again at her, as if telling her to stay alive no matter what.
"I'm going to get the Emperor to safety. He kept me from harm the entire time, I need to repay that."
"Go."
Lex ran off towards the palace while Scar focused his attention on Echo and the hard meat queen in the distance.
It's time they settled this once and for all.
To be continued...
I'm still alive everyone!
It's been a year since I last updated, wow.
Writer's block hits hard from time to time.
I'll try to be more frequent now with updates, but no promises!
Will Lex be able to save Va'Ilu or will disaster befall the Emperor?
Will Scar finally kill Echo and Keera once and for all?
See you all next time!
