DR WHO VS PREDATOR! Ch.5
The Doctor was still in the iron grip of the vicious alien hunter known as the Predator and was about to become next on it's hit list for skull trophies.
When suddenly...
Something bumped the Predator right in the back,knocking both it and the Doctor down to the ground.
"Ooof--I saw,what was that?"said the Time lord as he got up.
Standing before them on a small hill was a white jaguar,with glowing green eyes.
"What on earth or in the known galaxy?"said the Doctor in an astonished tone.
The Jaguar then looked at the Doctor,and it's eyes suddenly glowed an intense green,and the Doctor could hear it speaking to him telepathically.
"Wh-what--you want me to run---you'll...keep the alien at bay?"
The Jaguar nodded in response.
"Oh..yes,yes,must be going!"said the Doctor as he picked up his hat and ran off as fast as his legs could carry him.
The Predator got back up and was about to aim it's blaster at the time lord,but the jaguar jumped out between them.
The jaguar stared at the Predator in a hard manner with green glowing eyes,making it clear to not let the
The Predator growled,then aimed it's targetting system at it,then fired!
"KA-FLASH!"
But the Jaguar moved at a speed that was greater than any normal feline.
It then re-appeared beside the Predator and jumped at it again,knocking it down again with both feet planted.
The Jaguar then took off again,along with the Doctor.
"My,my..."thought the Doctor as he ran. "...a day still filled with suprises..a killer alien hunter and a jaguar that can speak telepathically.
But wait,how is that,and what kind of jaguar was that? I recognise it as a rare phantom jaguar,but how could it..have such strange powers?
Well...i'll try to find out that later..I must get back and warn the others!"
The Predator then activated it's camoflauge stealth again and leapt onto the trees and after his two attackers.
"I don't bloody like this!"said Redeye grasping his elephant gun. "What the hell's taking that bloke so long?"
"The Doctor might have run into that creature,"said Leela. "but I know him,the Doctor..he is a fierce and clever warrior himself."
"Do tell."said one of the men. "But what's with that silly scarf he keeps wearing?"
Leela just shrugged.
Suddenly,the Doctor came in at last,he took out his sonic device,activated it and the field went down.
"Well,doc?"said the lead hunter. "What's the verdict?"
The Doctor tried to catch his breath between words.
"I---the alien---is coming this way---get--ready!"he said.
"Alright then!"said Redeye smiling wickedly. "Okay then mates,you heard the man,get the net ready!"
The small troupe of hunters got out a large and heavy duty net and had it ready for their quarry just in case.
Red loaded his elephant gun while Leela got a couple of arrows ready in her bow.
"I certainly don't condone in killing a creature you know."he said.
"Hey,if we don't get it,it's gonna get us,Doc."said Red. "And who knows how many more will die at it's hands if we don't?"
"Well..in that case I guess there is no alternative."said the Doctor. "Here goes nothing and everything with it."
The Jaguar was running twice as fast as the Doctor did as the Predator pursued it as it ran and jumped along the trees from vine to limb.
Suddenly,the Jaguar saw the Doctor and his party dead ahead,it then jumped into a thick of bushes,hiding itself,but the Predator jumped down into the path of where they stood.
"THERE IT IS!"said Leela.
"Okay mates...OPEN FIRE!"
The hunters aimed their rifles and fired away at the Predator.
"BLAMM-BLAMM--BLAMM-BANG!"
The Predator was hit several times with gunfire while still in it's stealth form.
Sparks and blood began to fly as it's armor and weapon systems were bombarded.
Leela then fired off two arrows,therby hitting the Predator once in the left shoulder and again in the right leg.
The Predator cried out in sheer anguish from the blows.
"Good shot,Leela!"said Redeye. "NOW LADS--THROW THE NET ON HIM!"
The hunters then rushed in and threw the net on the Predator,but as they threw it on him,they soon learned the alien still wasn't giving up without a fight.
While netted,it fired off it's blaster again.
"KA-FLASH-KA-FLASH!"
It's blaster killed a couple of the hunters while the others scrambled for cover.
"DAMN DIRTY ALIEN!"said Redeye as he aimed his rifle.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!"
The Doctor placed his hand on Red's shoulder,nudging him not to fire and then got out his Sonic Screwdriver out.
"Allow me."he said and activated it.
"EEEEEEEEEEE!"
It's high frequency
disabled the shoulder blaster,causing it erupt and smoke to come out
of the barrel.
"Thanks."said Red.
"No problem."said the Doctor grinning.
The Predator writhed and squirmed through the netting as it tried to break free.
It growled and hollored in rage and pain,trying to get free.
"Oooo..he's riled now ain't he?"said one the men.
"He should be now that we got him!"said Redeye.
The lead hunter then aimed his rifle at the Predator and was about to open fire again.
"No wait,we've captured it,I still don't think there's any need for killing it. I..know of some military friends who we can take it to,I--"said the Doctor.
"AW SHADDUP ALREADY!"said Redeye. "I did it your way...now it's my turn to bag the beast! STARTING NOW!"
"No,I beg of you--DON'T!"said the Doctor,but before he could stop him,two of Redeye's men grabbed the Doctor by the arms,restraining him.
"You heard the man curly cue!"said the hunter on the left. "Now let him do his work!"
"Doctor!"said Leela as she was about to intervene,but another pair of Red's men grabbed and restrained her.
"NO!"she cried as she struggled.
"Alright now--just you and me handsome."said Redeye as he aimed his massive rifle--and fired.
"BLAMM!"
A single but large gunshot erupted through the Predator's chest,then another one shot him through the stomach.
The creature then cried one last time in anguish and fell to the ground.
Redeye then carefully walked over to the fallen creature and took a closer look to see if it was still alive.
Sure enough,it was still breathing,but barely,as both it and the chest were soaked with glowing green blood.
"Heh-heh."he
said and then aimed his gun down on the creature.
"End of
the line,mate!"
Suddenly,some small red triangle shown on his right shoulder.
"What th--?"he said.
A single blast of white energy flew from the trees and hit Redeye in the shoulder,blasting off his entire arm and knocking him down to the ground.
Leela gasped.
"What was that?"she said.
"If what I fear may be right,the alien...may not be alone."said the Doctor.
One of the hunters let loose of the Doctor and tended to his fallen boss.
"Boss--you okay?"he said.
But just as he did so,another projectile blast came flying and hit the man in the side of the head,killing him instantly.
"NO---WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!"said the other hunter as he let loose of the Doctor and aimed his rifle at the trees.
He started firing.
"No-no--stop you fools!"said the Doctor. "You'll only antagonise it!"
"But we gotta do something!"said another of the hunters. "The boss is hurt pretty bad!"
Suddenly,befor the Doctor could come up with a plan,the assailant jumped down from the trees and landed in front of what remained of the hunting party.
It was the same size and shape of the first Predator,and was even in stealth mode like it,and even carried a large spear weapon.
"Another one Doctor?"said Leela.
"Yes."said the Doctor. "It would appear that this creature..has allies."
The last 3 hunters whipped out their rifles,ready to fight.
"One or a bloody thousand,they won't stop us!"
But just as the hunter made his statement,he was also shot in the back by something.
"Eeerkk--uuuuhh.."he replied before he fell forward and died.
It was another small but deadly metal arrow.
"Jack--NO!"said the second hunter.
The second Predator threw the spear and impaled the youth with it.
"Dropping like flies I see."said the Doctor.
The 3rd and final hunter of Redeye's troupe lost his nerve after all that happened and ran into the woods.
"Stop you damn fool--you'll be killed!"called the Doctor.
"Stay here or get killed in the woods?"said the man still running. "What's the bloody difference?"
That was all the man could get to say as a single claw weapon pierced him through the chest and killed him on the spot.
It was another Predator also in stealth form.
"Another one!"said Leela.
"Yes,so it would seem."said the Doctor.
Redeye awoke in a groggy state and saw what was standing over him.
"Eh--didn't I..just kill you?"he said.
The Predator mimiced his words.
"Kill..you..kill you--KKKKKKK!"it said and then activated it's blaster on him.
"NO STOP--ENOUGH ALREADY!"said the Doctor.
But it was too late,the Predator fired and blew Redeye's head right off.
The big bad hunter,was no more.
"Oh dear..."said the Doctor. "...well so much for that,even if he was a trifle barbaric."
The third Predator jumped through the air and joined the second one that stood before it's fallen ally.
Leela was about to take aim with her bow,but the Doctor motioned for her to stop and shook his head.
"Let's see what happens."he said.
The two Preadators turned off their stealth,revealling their true forms and both looked about the same as the first Predator,except the one on the left wore a silver armor and the one on the right wore a gold armor.
The first Predator was weak and dying but it managed to get a nod for them to do what they had to for fallen allies.
The other two nodded in turn and the one on the left unsheathed a short sword weapon and then proceeded to cut open the net,freeing the top half of the severly wounded Predator.
It then raised the sword high over the fallen one and then sliced off it's head!
Leela cringed slightly,but understood as well as the Doctor at what had to be done.
"They put him out of his misery,a somewhat honerable death I suppose."said the Doctor.
"Yes,they must have some sort of honor about them..these beings."said Leela.
But just as they finished the job with their friend,they then turned their attention to the Doctor and Leela,for they were all that remained of the would be hunting party.
"Uh-oh...I don't think we're out of the woods yet,literally that is."said the Doctor.
The two Predators drew their weapons at the ready and it looked like that the Doctor and Leela were in for the fight of their lives.
