Third chapter of the GSG vs. Predator saga. I'm a bit more proud of this than Chapter 2. And all you folks who want to see the Predator kill some random humans should enjoy this chapter (the beginning at least). Oh yeah, I don't own GSG or Predator. But ya'll knew that already.

Such Easy Prey

I left the girl strapped to the operating table and returned to the surface, ready to get some real hunting done. My two fights with her had left me a little drained of energy, so I decided it would be best if I didn't engage any powerful humans. Instead, I settled on a group of drunks whom I found in an alley. There were four of them, and each one was completely hammered, clinging onto each other for support and mumbling loudly and incoherently. I activated my wrist blades and slowly and crept up, ready to take them by surprise. When I reached them, I swung my arm and decapitated one in a single blow. Blood sprayed all around, and the headless body collapsed to the ground. His three remaining friends turned around and stared, completely stunned. I immediately activated my combi stick and thrust it into another ones stomach. He cried in pain, blood pouring from his mouth and stomach. I lifted him up and violently threw him into the alley wall. The two remaining humans tried to flee me, but their drunken states prevented them from fleeing effectively, so they just stumbled away. I lifted my plasma caster and fired it at ones head. The head exploded on contact, sending bits of blood, brain, and skull flying in all directions. The remaining human collapsed to the ground and was showered with gore. As I approached him, he desperately tried to get up and run, but his inebriated state prevented this, so he started to crawl away, sobbing and screaming for help. When I reached him, he turned on his back and cried something that sounded like "please don't kill me". But it didn't matter whether he was saying that, or "hey, that's a neat helmet", his fate was sealed. I lifted my combi stick and forced it into his head, and with one sharp twist, he fell silent. As I stared at my handiwork, I felt my bloodlust rise once again. My energy had returned, and I was ready for more bloodshed. But first, the old routine of dragging the corpses to the tops of buildings, skinning them, and ripping any good bones out. When I was finished, I scoured the rooftops, searching for my next prey. That's when I heard them, two men talking on the street. At first, I paid little attention to them. Then, I heard one say, "What do you think happened, Jean?"

I froze. During our first fight, the cyborg girl had mentioned a name. Jean. I immediately took interest in the conversation. I heard the other say, "What I'm more concerned with is who did it, and how they did it so quickly."

"Did you see the bodies?" The first man asked, "All stretched out, and that one guy with his spine ripped out. It wasn't natural."

"Yes, of course I saw them, but that's not important", The other one said sternly, "What is important is finding Rico before anything happens to her."

My heart skipped. So, the humans were searching for their missing cyborg. This was perfect. I raced back to my camp, thinking all the way how I could use this to my advantage. But when I arrived, I discovered I had something else to worry about; Coldyron, the pack leader, was standing there, and he didn't look happy at all.

"Where have you been, Killrine?" He barked. He was carrying the samurai sword he had won in a duel several centuries back, and he kept thumbing the hilt, as if he were preparing to unsheathe it.

I held up the bones of my victims. "Hunting" I answered bluntly.

He approached, looking angrier now. "You fucking idiot!" He shouted, "How can you be out hunting at a time like this?!? We have a crisis on our hands!"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Coldyron pointed to the robot girl, who was still strapped to the table. "That!" He shouted, "That's what I fucking mean!"

"Uhhh…I wouldn't worry about her, she's strapped down pretty tightly." I responded, a little sarcastically.

"No, not that you fuckhead!" Coldyron shouted, even more annoyed now, "That thing proves everything I've been saying for the past 10 years, and no one bothered to listen to me. But they'll listen now!"

I could feel in my gut the Coldyron was about to launch into another one of his conspiracy theories, but I made no objection (he was pissed off at me enough already). "Go on." I said with almost no feeling.

"The humans are onto us," Coldyron growled, "They know what we've been doing. So they've created this, they're ultimate weapon, to use against us! They wish to take our rightful place as the galaxy's greatest hunters! Don't you see? These little girls are the key to our destruction! The human's will overrun us with them!"

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"How else could she have known your location?" Coldyron replied coldly. "Face it, Killrine. You've been a goof-off all your life, but it's time to face the facts. The day's of sunshine and bloodbath's are over. This time, it's war. The human's are gonna try and knock us off the top of the food chain, and theses things are they're tools for the job!" He quickly unsheathed his sword. "But I'll die before I see the galaxy ruled by humans." He roared and rushed towards the girl, prepared to chop her to pieces with his sword.

"Wait, wait a second!" I shouted, grabbing him as quickly as I could.

He threw me to the ground and yelled, "Whose side are you on, you bastard?!!?"

My mind raced as I got to my feet. "Listen to me", I said, trying my best to sound like I believed what Coldyron had just told me, "If the situation is as bad as it is, then we can't just rush in with all our guns blazing, okay? We need to treat this matter very delicately. The humans still don't know we are aware of this, right. We should use that to our advantage."

Coldyron just looked at me for a few seconds, then eased up and said, "Continue."

I sighed with relief and said, "Alright, here's my plan: while I was out hunting, I overheard two humans talking. They're looking for the girl. So what I'm gonna do is plant a tracking device on the girl. Then, I'll put her somewhere where the humans will find her, they'll take her back to their base, and then we'll know exactly where they are. We'll be free to strike anytime and eliminate this threat. How's that?"

Coldyron was silent for a few seconds, then he began nodding. "Yes, It's perfect", He said, "Once we know where the humans are keeping the rest of the cyborg units, destroying them will be a piece of cake. Brilliant plan, Killrine. I knew you weren't a complete idiot. Not like that friend of yours, Glavius."

He began walking away. "I expect a glittering report by morning, so don't screw this up." He said, and exited my camp.

I looked over to the still unconscious robot girl. "See what I just did?" I growled, "I just saved your ass back there, after you tried to kill me…twice." I walked over to her. "Your names Rico, isn't it?" I huffed, "Humans have such weird names."

I injected the tracking device in her bloodstream so that the humans wouldn't be able to find it. With that done, I returned to the surface with the girl, and rested her against the wall of a dark alleyway. After that, I launched a flare from my wrist-computer into the sky, activated my cloaking device, hid behind trash bin, and waited, hoping that one of the humans searching for the girl saw the flare and was on their way. The first human who showed up, unfortunately, wasn't looking for the girl. I could tell just by the way he was looking at her. So I sneaked up behind him and decapitated him, dumping his body in the trash bin. Next, two more humans showed up, but they weren't my targets either. Two more bodies in the bin. Then, a pair of human police officers showed up. Their involvement would have been disastrous, so I smashed their heads together and dumped them in the (now completely full) trash bin. Then, the girl woke up, so I had to hit her with more sleeping gas. By this time, my frustration was slowly boiling over, and I was considering abandoning this post and going somewhere else, when a car suddenly pulled up outside the alleyway. Two humans, a male and a female, got out and rushed towards the girl.

"There she is!" The man shouted.

"How is she? Is she ok?" The woman asked, sounding very worried.

"Shit, she looks pretty beaten up." The man responded.

"Oh God, is this her blood?" The woman gasped, talking about the blood of my victims, which was splattered all over the alley.

"That doesn't matter," The man said, "We have to get her back to HQ. We might still be able to save her without there being any permanent damage."

The two humans picked her up, put her in their car, and drove off.

I stood up. Everything was going perfectly. Humans are such easy prey…
