Doctor WHO VS Predator
Ch.4
The vicious creature hovered menacingly over Leela,ready to move in for the kill,when suddenly...
"BANG--ZING!"
A single bullet bounced off the back of it's body armor,catching the creature's attention for a moment as it turned around.
The Doctor,along with one of Red's hunters,a man with greying hair and an eye patch ran as fast as they could towards Leela and her attacker.
"LEELA!"said the Doctor.
"DOCTOR!"she said.
"There it is!"said the hunter. "Wha-what is it?"
"Whatever it is,that thing is what we're after,and it's using some kind of advanced camoflouge technology,done very well indeed."said the Doctor.
"I'm gonna shoot it again,this may be the only time we'll get a chance at it!"said the hunter.
"No wait,you stupid fool!"said the Doctor. "Leela's there!"
No sooner did the Doctor say those words did the woman warrior crawl away and ran from the creature for the time being.
"Alright,now you may fire."said the Doctor.
"Certainly."said the hunter.
The man aimed and opened fire,but just as he got the next shot,the creature jumped high into the air once again and fired off another projectile.
The man was hit right between the eyes and fell to the ground,dead.
"Oh dear."said the Doctor wearily. "That didn't quite turn out like i'd hoped."
The time lord checked the man's face,sure enough there was a strange metallic arrow lodged between his eyes and below his forehead.
"Poor fellow,good shot though for both of them."he said.
Meanwhile,the creature was back in the trees again and remained hidden.
"I'll get it this time!"she said as she was about to fire.
"Leela,don't fire,it's so well hidden in the foliage that we'll never be able to see it!"said the Doctor. "We need to regroup with the others and plan a new strateg
"Oh,right Doctor."said Leela.
But before leaving,she took up the rifle of the fallen hunter and left with the Doctor.
The creature meanwhile went elsewhere to plan it's own strategy.
The Doctor and Leela found Redeye and the remainder of hunters running towards them.
"Oi,we heard gunshots and the like,did you get the creature?"said Red.
"No,i'm afraid not."said the Doctor. "Leela and Keith i'm sure did,haven't you,Leela?"
"Oh yes,I certainly did."said Leela. "And that...monster was purely ferocious!"
She went into a bit of detail about what happened after that.
"Hmmmmmmm..."replied Redeye scratching his chin. "We definitely got more than a savage killer here,we got someone who's an able hunter himself! We need to plan a further strategy if we're to get it."
"I quite agree."said the Doctor. "And I think I may have a plan."
Redeye,the Doctor,Leela and the remainder of the hunters gathered around a large tree,some were smoking,some were eating their rations and some were cleaning and adjusting their guns.
The Doctor was discussing his plan with Red and Leela.
"So lemme get this straight doc."said Red. "You wish to try and follow the scent and trail of this creature to find out where it's hidden and then we can move in and strike as one on it?"
"Exactly."said the Doctor. "Your other group of men were picked off like flies earlier,save for Leela here."
"That--thing is well armed and very skilled. Perhaps one of the most skilled hunters i've ever seen in my life."she said.
"We're here to capture it not admire it,darlin'!"said Redeye. "And if we don't capture it,the damn thing may very well do us in like it did so many others!"
"Alright,calm yourself, Redeye."said the Doctor. "As I said,this plan I have along with the devices i've brought just might work."
"For your sake,you'd better hope so."said Redeye. "Now..what's the plan?"
The Doctor explained in simple and great detail as he gathered Redeye and the others in a small gathering under the shade of a giant tree covered greatly with plants and vines.
"Alright,this is the plan my friends."said the Doctor as he fished into his backpack.
He pulled out some long black wire and spread it all around across from where they sat adn around the tree.
Then,he pulled out a small generator device and attached it to the pump end of the wire rope.
He then switched it on and it let out a small humming noise which allowed the wire to pulse a strange energy glow.
"Oooo--lookit that!"said one the hunters.
"Just a poppycock light show if ya ask me."said Red in his usual cynical manner. "Just what are you trying to prove here,Doctor?"
"This..'poppycock'will save your very lives if you're not careful there,Hawkins!"said the Doctor. "In a manner of speaking,it's a small but powerful force field device which will protect you from all forms of harm great and small...and especially that--hunter creature we're facing.
What I need to do is hunt it down,lure it towards us so we can be ready to capture it."
"Sounds simple
enough."said Red. "But do you think you'll be able to face
it when it comes?"
"I've had some experience with this
same monster once..I assure you,I will lure and we will capture well
before suppertime.
Now,lean back,relax and leave everything to me."
"But what about me,Doctor?"said Leela. "You might need my help!"
"Not this time,Leela."said the Doctor. "You're skilled and strong yourself,but that things almost could have killed you if I hadn't came along. But I assure you,i'll be back soon--very soon."
And with that,the Doctor was off.
"Good luck,Doctor."said leela.
"Yeah,good luck doc,good luck!"said a couple of the hunters.
"Huh,he's cat food and you know it."quipped Redeye.
"How dare you say that about the Doctor!"said Leela. "He's achieved many a great things!"
"Ain't we all,Leela?"said Redeye. "I been hunting as long as anyone can remember,and I know it takes real guts and no mercy to get what ya want in this world,lemme tell ya that."
Leela ignored the unplesant company she was with and started to worry about her mentor.
"Oh doctor,do be careful."she thought.
Meanwhile,in another part of the jungles,in a small secluded temple area of some sort behind some bushes and trees.
Engulfed in shadow and darkness,a single being stood before a ball of green intense energy and light.
"So..."said the orb of green energy. "...we have been invaded yet again have we?"
The being in darkness nodded.
"Very well..."said the orb. "..you know what you must do."
The being crouched and changed shape till it became...a white tiger!
The tiger then took off out of the temple and into the jungle to do battle with their new arrivals.
While back in the jungles of the amazon,the Doctor carefully and quietly trekked through the junglebrush,seeking his prey.
He took out his sonic screwdriver and adjusted it to low frequency tracking,to enable him to trail this creature they were facing.
"I almsot wish I had K-9 with me on this."he thought. "He's a good tracker,he is after all a dog,but...with this non-firm earthground i'm sloshing across wouldn't do him any good, and he's not waterproof either. Ah well,use what you have and know and make it more I always say."
The doctor then aimed the sonic device in the air,activated it and a low frequency hum filled the air.
"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM."
He waved it to the left,then right,up and down,to and fro until finally...
"BEEP-BEEP!"it registed something come across from the north.
"Ah-ha!"said the Doctor grinning. "Pay dirt!"
The Doctor ran across the underbrush and swamp puddles until at last,he found..
A single plant with green blood spilled across it.
He took a closer look at it and took out a magnifying lens.
"Aahhh...green blood,it has to belong to that hunter no doubt."he said. "Leela said she injured it with her knife.
I must be nearing it now."
The Doctor then saw that he was some more firmer and muddier earth ground now as he saw...
"Footprints!"he said.
And then,he went off,following the prints one by one until...
He saw a small camp made up of large palm leaves,tree limbs and a campfire in the middle.
"I..think I found it."he said.
He carefully stalked ahead and adjusted his sonic device to a more powerful frequency.
Once there,he saw several hung and skinned bodies,skulls and skeletal pieces all laying about.
"Truly a gruesome collection."he thought. "This must be the place."
Suddenly,the Doctor heard a nosie from above.
"Ah!"he said in suprise. "He must be back--i'd better hide!"
The Doctor saw the nearest nest and bushes and dove for them.
No sooner than he did so,that the monster itself had returned to it's camp.
It sat down on a log,still in it's camouflauge state.
Once down,it activated something on it's wrist and it taken a full colored form.
"Ah,so it was camouflage."he thought. "But..what is it?"
The creature's skin was a pale yellow with dark green spots and wore a set of dark chrome grey armor on it's limbs,chest,waist and shoulders.
It had a sort of cannon and backpack affixed to it's back and a strange armored mask helmet was adorned to it's face.
The creature then reached into a green napsack nearby and took out a small metallic kit.
It opened the kit and set of strange metallic tools and devices were in it.
"Ah,I see..."the Doctor thought. "...it has a--medical kit of some kind. Nursing it's wounds."
The creature took out a small surrynge,injected the healing serum within it into it's wound,thereby healing the cut and then placed a small but clean sterilizer patch upon his mark. Good as new.
The Doctor now knew where the creature was and somehow had to keep it trapped here before he could get back to leela and the others.
Suddenly,he accidentally slipped and fell on a branch.
"Oof!"he went.
The creature then swung around in response as to was there.
It peered through it's mask with it's strange infra red vision it's race had,abe to see things that humans couldn't in the jungle.
It saw something moving from a few feet away from him.
It then activated it's cannon and targetting system.
A single red triangle formed and took aim at the shape that was in the bushes.
The Doctor then saw a small patch of three red dots aimed on his right shoulder and then saw the alien taking aim at him.
"Oh dear."he thought. "It's open season on me."
The alien then fired,the blaster at the Doctor.
But the Doctor managed to dodge out of the way at the last minute,causing the projectile to explode from where he lay.
"OOOOHH--OUCH--OOOUCH!"
Replied the Doctor as he rolled away from the blast,getting stung by it's spark as well as few thorns in the bushes.
He then got back to his feet and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.
The alien on the other hand had no intentions of letting it's quarry escape.
It felt around it's belt for a handy little disc on it.
The alien found the metallic disc,gripped the center of it,and it hummed and steammed to life,as electronic pulses and lights lit all around it.
It then aimed the disc at the Doctor,and threw it as far across the underbrush as it could throw it.
"Eh..?"said the Doctor turning to see what it was coming at him.
The disc flew straight at him like a deadly arrow or boomerang.
"Oh,dear."he said.
The time lord ducked and dove for the brush,the disc flew straight over him.
But as he got back up...
"Ha--missed me!"he tauned.
The disc came right back and slashed him acorss the left arm.
"AAARRR!"he cried as fell forwards.
The alien caught the disc and placed it back in it's belt.
With the doctor down,the alien moved in for the kill.
"Nooo...it mustn't end this way..."said the Doctor. "...i've got to get back to--LEELA!"
The alien then grabbed the Doctor by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up for the finish.
"Er..hello there,i'm the Doctor."he said half grinning. "W-would you like a jelly baby..I can fish one for you.."
"J-Jelly babies--D-Doctor--Doctor...Kkkkkkkk.."replied the alien mimicing the Doctor's words.
"Ah,so you speak english after all...good,good."said the Doctor.
But the time for fun was over,as the alien known as the Predator unsheathed his claws,pulled them back and was about to finish the Doctor in the same manner the other poor hunters were about to do.
"N-n--NOOOOO!"said the Doctor.
