2. Chapter 2

Doctor who VS Predator CH.2

Note:This story is also set during Leela and K-9 mark 1's time with the Doctor and is supposedly set after the events of Robots and the Talons of Weng-Chiang,I am greatly into story continuity to make it more believable.

Thank you and enjoy the story.)

A few days later,a discovery was found in the amazon basin by a couple of travellers,the victim's bodies

While back outside,and in a secluded corner of the station,something began to form in the air and a strange grinding noise was occuring.

"VWORP"

"VWORP!"

"VWORP!"

A blue rectangular box with the words POLICE BOX appeared out of thin air and had landed on it's destination. As for the purpose,that's something the occupants inside were about to find out...and soon.

Inside the single control room,all white and grey colored with glass cirlces on it's walls,stood a single octagon shaped control panel with a rise and fall column in the center.

Entering from the doors was a trio of odd individuals.

One was dressed in a brown and dark grey outfit of overcoat,trousers,shoes,vest,a hat and a long multicolored scarf wrapped around him.

His hat sat down upon a mass of brown curls and his grin was a wide set of pearly white teeth.

He was the time traveller known as the Doctor and his companions were Leela,jungle woman from the future and K-9,trusty robot dog.

They were all carrying a set of some items and such for a little holiday.

The Doctor carried a single rolled up rainbow umbrella and carried a dark brown picnic basket while Leela carried another picnic basket and a rolled up blanket.

K-9 carried nothing,but was as set and ready as they were.

"Ah yes,yes!"said the Doctor as he placed the picnic items and attended to the controls.

"We should be now arriving on the peaceful planet of Dulkis for a little holiday..I did along with some other companions head there years ago,till we were interrupted by some blokes called the Dominators. Anyways,you and K-9 will like Dulkis very good planet..."

But when the Doctor looked over the readouts and opened the monitor it instead revealled...

"South America--SOUTH AMERICA?"he said in irratation.

"What--what's South..America?"said Leela.

"South America,mistress."began K-9. "is a continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atalantic Ocean; North America and the Carribean Sea lie to the northwest.

South America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemuller and Matthias Ringmann after Amerigo Vespuccii, who was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not the East Indies, but a New World unknown to Europeans.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometres (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5 of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,000,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.

It also has one of the most well known rain forest jungles in the world and---"

"Yes,yes---thank you for that..rather brief and tedious history lesson,K-9."said the Doctor annoyed."Now,moving right along."

Leela shook her head in disbelief as to how chattersome the dog could be.

"But doctor you told me the Tardis could take you any place you wish to go."she said.

"Did I?"he said.

"Yes you did."she said.

"Well...almost every time."he said. "This happens only once in a while,just my luck it had to do that of all days.

But since we're on the subject of South AM,

"It also has such splendid cities like Beunos Aries,and Rio de Janeiro,and the music festivals and bands they have here as well."

The Doctor then opened the doors,then they picked up their picnic items and out into the open air.

Once they stepped outside the Tardis,they found a small but heavilly littered alleyway with a pair of small buildings between them.

"Hmmm...must be tourist season around here then."said the Doctor.

"Affirmative,Master."said K-9.

"Is this a bad time for us to be here,Doctor?"said Leela.

"Er...no,maybe not. I just had a thought though,if there are tourists here,maybe we can hitch a ride to somplace more..spledid from here as well as from Africa."said the Doctor.

"What of the Tardis?"said Leela.

"No worries,Leela. he said as he went and locked the door. "It's always best prepared against every contingency any place or anytime,that's my good girl."

He affectionately patting it's side.

"Now,come along."he said.

The trio walked down the sidewalk laiden path and found a little merchants square with many people passing through it.

"Hmmm...definitely tourist season."he said. "Well...it's not going to detere us for anything,come along."

The trio walked through the crowds,passed many street vendors,soldiers,tourists and beggars until at last,they came across a large canteen building.

Sure enough,they had landed in a small village and tourist spot area near one of the major cities.

"Let's get in from the heat and crowds for the moment shall we?"said the doctor.

"Oh yes,let's."said Leela.

"Affirmative."said K-9.

The trio walked into the building and sat down around a sturdy wooden table with metal chairs.

Just then,an jamaican waitress.

"What'll I get you?"she said in jamican accent.

"Oh yes,eh..some water if you please."said the Doctor.

"Certainly."said the waitress.

While waiting,the doc overheard a large discussion group next to him talking about hunting and travelling.

One large individual standing atop a table was leading the discussion.

"I tell ya lads!"he said in scottish accent. "Dirk Mcgirk may have been trouble at times...but he was a respected hunter in most circles...save mine--haw haw!

But..it's a tragic waste for anyone to get killed in the midst of a jungle I tell ya! And searching for that rare white jaguar at that."

The man standing atop the table was seven feet tall,well muscled,had red hair,a gold earring in his left ear and wore a set of brown hunting gear and wore a large elephant gun on his back with a leather strap around his right shoulder.

He was Redeye Hawkins,supreme hunter of all Europe and the world over.

So,what do you propose we do,Redeye?"said another hunter with a moustache and plump belly. "Inform the military of some kind of...killer out in the amazon?"

"Certainly not!"said the Doctor. "We--that is you all and myself--are gonna trek out to the amazon,hunt for not only the rare tiger..but find and snuff out that..thing that killed Dirk and the others."

There were many murmering and chattering in response to Redeye's proposal.

"But..."said Redeye. "If any of you were to succeed in helping me nab them both...a hefty reward of 10,000 pounds will be rewarded handsomely to ya as well. How about it now?"

"ALRIGHT YA,COUNT ME IN AS WELL!"

Were many of the shouts of approval from his posse.

"Oh,just one more thing,Mr.Hawkins."said one of the hunters. "What...exactly did this..killer look like to anyone else who may have seen it?"

"Not sure...really."said Redeye."Before Dirk and the others went off to--meet their maker,heh-heh...there were reports in the amazons...just recently that is...of..something.

Some say they saw some sort of...transparent looking--thing. Something that went as quickly as it came. And reports of finding slain and skinned bodies hanging about in the jungle. No doubt from--the attacks of--that thing."

"Hmmmmmm..."replied the Doctor smirking in response. "...now doesn't that sound familiar?"

"What's going on Doctor?"said Leela.

"I'm about to find out,stay here."he said.

The Doctor walked around to the table.

"Excue me..sir?"he said to the cheif hunter. "But I couldn't help overhearing your conversation,since I have been listening to every word.

I understand you are hunting for what you call...a killer?"

"Yes,and who might you be,laddy?"said Redeye.

"I..?"said the Doctor. "I am...the Doctor...scientist for military and scientific purposes and jack of many trades."

"Oh,you are eh?"said Redeye. "So what are you offering and for what price?"

"Oh,no price whatsoever my friends."said the Doctor. "I just ask that you enlist the help of myself and my..companion over there for assistance. It appears I..may just know what this--thing is that you are attempting to hunt."

"Wha--you do?"said the chief hunter. "What could it be?"

"That..I intend to find out like the rest of you."said the Doctor. "What do you say?"

"Very well...doctor."said Redeye. "But no funny business now..or else you get the shaft end of our guns,got it?"

"Oh absolutely."said the Doctor. "So..when do we leave?"

Redeye consulted his watch. "Exactly...20 minutes from now...we ride many miles from here and head into the Amazon basin and it's deepest jungles. So..I advise you and your lass there to pack whatever provisions you need and be back here with the rest of us."

"Most certainly,Mr.Hawkins."said the Doctor. "Leela and I will be along with you in a moment."

The Doctor then turned to his companions.

"Hmmm..."thought Redeye. "He's a bit of a queer one,but we may need all the help we can get on this one."

Minutes later,back at the Tardis.

"Change of plans,Doctor?"said Leela.

"Yes,i'm afraid so."said the Doctor. "You see..Leela...I have something called--a hunch."

"A..hunch?"said Leela.

"Yes...anyone can frequently get it."said the time lord. "It's when you get a--feeling that something isn't quite right--or you suspect something."

"Affirmitave,master."said K-9. "You must get them quite often."

"I have experience to do so."said the Doctor. "I suspect there's something out there...that I may have come in contact before..and that's what we intend to find out."

The Doctor and Leela packed their provisions into a pair of heavy duty back packs and both were strapped to their backs,and the Doctor also took along some unusual scientific devices."

"These...we may need."he thought.

"What of myself,Master?"said K-9.

"Well...K-9..."said the Doctor glumly. "I'm afraid you'll have to sit this one out this time this time. The jungles i'm sure you're data banks can recall is not a very rugged area for one such as you."

"Affirmitave,master."said K-9. "I would not be able to function properly in such a wet climate. I will stay and guard the Tardis."

"Good dog--Good dog!"said the Doctor patting it's head. "We'll be back before you know it."

"See you later,K-9."said Leela patting it's head.

"Yes,mistress."said the robot dog.

Once they made it back Redeye,The Doctor and everyone else took a group of jeeps and headed north from their destination,the Amazon raniforest of South Am

There,they set up camp and got their weapons and everything else ready for their hunt.

"By the way,Mr.Hawkins."said the Doctor. "Would you happen to have any..photos of what this..skinning looked like?"

"Certainly."said Redeye as he fished into his back pocket. "Feast your eyes on this gruesome feature.

Red produced a small but detailed black and white photograph of something in the jungle that was taken several weeks ago.

It was a photo of 4 hung upside bodies that were nude,dead and their very skins removed from their bodies,leaving all bloody and dried corpses of the poor victims that it occured to.

Their heads and spinal cords were also missing,a truly gruesome sight.

"Hmmm..yes I see."said the Doctor.

Leela looked over his shouler to see.

"Uuughh...what happened to them."she said."Were they---skinned,like an animal?"

"You could say that,darlin'."said Red. "We found them like this and had a photographer take a few shots of the sight. What we figured was that whatever it was that killed them..did that to them as well. The..thing must have also taken their skulls and spines for...trophies of some sort."

"Trophies?"said the Doctor. "Trophies of slain bodies..whatta gruesome concept."

"Oh aye,as I said,we're dealing with some kind of...killer here all right. And that's what really excites me here lemme tell you."

"Er yes..quite."said the Doctor. "Well..when do we leave for the hunt?"

"First thing tomorrow,doctor."said Red. "We'll split into 2 groups and well..we'll go over the rest tomorrow,it's getting late by evening we best turn in soon after dinner."

"Oh,most certainly."said the Doctor.

Minutes later,after a helping dinner of stew,rolls and guiness,the hunters and their two allies turned in for the night.

In the Doctor and Leela's tent,the Doctor laid down and read a copy of the National Geographic while Leela sat cross legged sharpening her trusty knife.A single lantern was lighting the tent.

"Can't sleep yet either yet,eh Leela?"said the Doctor not looking up.

"No..no not yet,Doctor."she said. "You see this almost makes me feel back on my home planet with my own people. We had many great hunts for food and sport back then."

"So this should come naturally to you then eh?"said the Doctor grinning.

"Most certainly."said Leela. "I can't wait to begin hunting again."

"Well,keep it in your stride,Leela."said the Doctor. "We may be up against more than we or Redeye and his men suspect."

"What do you mean by that,Doctor?"said Leela. "You said you had..hunches about this?"

"Yes,Leela,a hunch."said the Doctor. "Of course I may be mistaken,but only way to find out and yes..there is an interesting tale about that back before I met you and K-9.

It happened many years ago when I was on earth and working for a military organization called UNIT.

I also used to dress..and looked differently as well back then...oh those velvets I wore,ho-ho...and the Brigadier,oh yes good old Lethbridge Stewart.

Anyways..we were called upon a case to investigate a group of terrorists that were holled up in some bunker in another jungle area of sorts.

When we arrived,we were a little too late to apprehend them...we were a little too late."

"What happened?"said Leela.

"We found the group of terrorists were...all killed in the same exact manner that Red and the others found them in.

And when we started to investigate the area...yours truly suddenly spotted something that was about to escape."

FLASHBACK

The Doctor(In his 3rd Regeneration and wearing a black velvet suit with red cloak) was walking down a metal corridor that led to a nearby exit,when suddenly,he saw something emerge from around a corner and escape through the door.

"Great balls of fire--what was that?"he said as he ran after it.

The Doctor ran down the corridor and also burst through the door and out into an open back yard with a small brick wall around it.

There,he saw a strange thing..all transparent and blended in with the background in a sort of shape running across the lawn and jumping over the wall.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!"said the Doctor as he gave chase.

The Doctor also jumped over the wall and chased after the creature.

"I bet my roadster Bessie that's the killer--or i'm not a time lord!"he thought as he pursued the creature.

The creature then jumped onto a tree and scalled it to the top and began to jump across limb after limb and beyond many trees.

"No--it's getting away!"he said.

The Doctor then whipped out his trusty sonic screwdriver,adjusted it and then took aim at the latest limb it was on.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The sonic blast broke apart the limb,causing the creature to fall with a sickening scream.

"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!"

It landed into a nest of bushes and plants across from where the Doctor stood.

"GOT IT---EUREKA!"said the Doctor in joy.

The time lord ran across the jungle brush to where the monster had fallen.

But..by the time he got there and looked through the bushes...

"GONE!"he said. "Absolutely no trace of it!"

He looked around and stayed on his guard for any sign or trace of the creature,but..it appeared to be long gone.

"I don't understand this!"he said. "How..could..how could something like that just vanish so suddenly?"

The voice of the Brigadier then began to call for the Doctor.

"Doctor--doctor--what the devil are you doing playing in the jungle--get back here!"he called.

"I--i'm coming,Brigadier,don't get your trousers in a twist!"said the Doctor.

Reluctantly,the time lord placed his sonic device back in his jacket and returned to the others.

END FLASHBACK

"So..."said Leela. "You say you encountered one these...things once before?"

"In a sense,yes."said the Doctor. "Just hearing the details on this thing reminded me of what happened years ago with UNIT and myself. If it as an alien of some kind that is causing trouble for the inhabitants of earth both past and future,then i've got to find it,and stop it!"

"And we will won't we?"said Leela.

"I..i'm not sure,Leela."said the Doctor. "I never encountered something like this before in my lifetime as a time lord...but..first time for everything right?

Now,let's get some shuteye and be bright and bushy tailed in the morning,we have quite a trek before us."

"Right."siad Leela as she went to bed and the Doctor turned off his lantern.

While back in the jungles,the same creature in question was setting out it's trophies of skulls and bones across a flat rock surface and readying it's weapons for the next kill.

Soon...very soon...the Doctor and this..alien hunter would lock horns with each other...SOON ENOUGH!
