Doctor who VS predator Ch.6
The Doctor and Leela were now face to face with more of the alien's own kind,but this time there were not one but two Predators this time.
Leela was about to take aim with her bow,but the Doctor cautioned her.
"No Leela,not here."he said. "They've taken out Redeye and his best hunters like they were innocent fawns."
"But we can't let them get us,Doctor!"she said. "They're vicious killers!"
"That I know."said the Doctor. "But we need a new strategy and get back to the Tardis at once. Now...step back slowly and get behind me."
Leela reluctantly did so while the Doctor took out his sonic screwdriver and something from his backpack.
He adjusted his handy sonic device to a certain setting and readied the white object in his other hand.
"Now listen,Leela...when i say run--run,understand?"he said.
Leela nodded.
"Good."said the Doctor.
The two Predators were slowly skulking towards them,both ready to strike.
The Doctor then took a deep breath,then activated the sonic,letting off another high frequency hum.
"EEEEEE!"
The two Predators ears were attacked by the sonic shrill,causing them to drop their blades and clutch their ears in sheer pain as they cried out.
With them momentarilly distracted,he then threw the white pellet at the two aliens and a blinding flash erupted before their eyes,momentarilly blinding them.
"RUN!"said the Doctor.
The pair then ran as fast as their legs could carry them while the two Predators struggled to get their bearings.
"What did you use?"said Leela.
"Just a little boom and flash is all,nothing special."said the Doctor. "Now come on,we need to get back to the jeeps and back to the Tardis!"
The two Predators meanwhile managed to get back their senses of sight and sound.
They then gathered their weapons,activated their stealth systems and took again to the trees.
While back through the entrance of the jungle,the Doctor and Leela managed to get back to one of the jeeps.
"I'm driving--i'm driving!"he said as they got in.
They got in,he started the motor and they took off.
Suddenly,before they could get farther down the road,something blasted off their back tires,causing the jeep to swerve out of control.
"OOOOOHH--BUGGER!"cried the Doctor as he and Leela jumped from the jeep,causing the vehicle itself to crash into a ditch.
"What happened?"said Leela.
The Doctor looked up and saw the same two Predators hanging down from the trees,like a pair of vultures ready to strike.
"Our..our friends did."he said glumly.
Leela fired an arrow at them,but the Predators jumped to the ground.
The one on the left,lunged at Leela,knocking her bow out of her hand and then knocked her to the ground,pinning her down with it's foot to her neck.
"Doctorrr---gaakkkk!"she cried as she struggled.
"LEELA--NO!"said the Doctor.
But before he could attack,the other Predator grabbed the time lord by the back of his throat and lifted him upward.
"N--no--not this again!"he said.
The two Predators were about to kill their intended prey.
When suddenly..
The same white jaguar suddenly appeared before them,and it's eyes let out a sudden white flash of energy.
The four beings then found themselves in what appeared to be...darkness.
"What--were are we...doctor?"said Leela.
"Leela...where are you?"said the Doctor.
The two Predators were there,but chanted to each other in their own alien tongue.
"Ah,I see our---'friends' made it did they?"said the Doctor.
Suddenly,a single light came up in the form of a single candlelight in the middle of the room.
And then,a voice spoke.
"That will all be quite enough."it said in an aged female voice.
"Who th--?"said the Doctor.
The Jaguar then appeared before them.
"The..jaguar?"said the Doctor.
"Doctor..you know that animal?"said Leela.
"Indeed I do."said the time lord. "It..saved me for the previous alien that attacked..and it..spoke to me..telepathically at that."
"T-telepath..?"said Leela.
"I'll explain later..if later occurs that is."said the Doctor.
One of the two Predators began to approach the Jaguar,but as it got close enough,it was knocked away by a blast of unseen energy and fell to the floor.
The second Predator helped it up and was about to attack as well,but were both suddenly stopped in their tracks,unable to move.
"What--what happened?"said the Doctor.
"I--or that is we did,Time Lord."said the same voice again.
"And who pray tell..are we?"said the Doctor.
Appearing behind the feline was a large green glowing orb.
"What..is it?"said Leela.
"That..I hope..is something we will find out."said the Doctor. "Anyways,how..how do you know that I am a time lord?"
"I know of many things on this planet ever since you first came here,Doctor. In your past 3 selves,your recent companions and adventures..everything that ever was since we came here."
"Well yes..that is all very well indeed but--who are you exactly?"said the Doctor.
"I..and my sentinel here..are from the planet Xindu,we are of the alien intelligence from the farthest reaches of the galaxy. We Xindus exist in our spiritual forms from our bodies and have the ability to take whatever form our spirit desires."
"Ah..yes,the Xindu...yes,I had heard stories about you from my people when I was a boy."said the Doctor grinning. "I had never met one--until now that is."
"Indeed,not many of your people or anyone have come into contact with our race,Doctor."said the Xindu. "As for myself..you may call me..the guardian. And this..is my sentinel."
The Jaguar changed shape and took on the form of a tall and sturdy being of blackness and glowing yellow eyes.
"Oh eh--how do you do?"said the Doctor.
The sentinel nodded.
"Unbelievable!"said Leela.
"Anyways,er..guardian--I--we thank you and your sentinel there for aiding us earlier. But..what exactly do you--want of us..I mean,why are we here?"said the Doctor.
"And excellent question,Doctor."said Guardian. "And not one without an answer. We..have been the guardians of this jungle over this continent for many years now. And we have protected it from many likes of either human..or otherworldly like yourselves.
I had my sentinel disguise himself into a rare animal to lure out and chase away any hunters who crossed here sporting defensless animals and rob the forests of it's sacred plants and trees.
And then...those--three now two that is..creatures came down here and dared to play sport with either animal or human as well..and was racking up quite a bounty count at that!
And then the two of you came along--!"
"Oh yes,that..look,guardian..I am terribly sorry for all that commotion we caused..but it wasn't entirely our fault. We..took a wrong turn somewhere and decided to investigate what commotion there was in the locals."
"You didn't have to get involved,Doctor."said Guardian. "We were planning to chase out the aliens ourselves. But...it seems that you may be of some use in doing away with the two creatures and anyone else who would come along here in the future."
"We--we are..?"said the Doctor."How?"
The Guardian chuckled.
"I--propose a test for the both of you against the aliens."she said.
"You Doctor,like your race have a natural affinity for science in driving your foes into utter submission."
"Well yes..it is a nack I suppose."said the Doctor.
"I shall assign you,your Tardis and your--dog in facing the Predator back in the city here in South America."
"And as for your companion there,I see she literally has the same savageness of the aliens in her,she shall face the other alien here in the jungle till only is left standing and the same goes for you as well,Doctor."said Guardian.
"Oh,must we?"said the Doctor.
"Yes,I am afraid so."said Guardian."You and others violated the amazon,we must initiate trial by combat for both you till one remains. If you both win,the aliens will be defeated and sent back to their homeworld. But..if they win...they shall go free..just not here in the amazon after this that is. And of course,you'd both be dead of course."
"Well that doesn't sound very well fair to me."said the Doctor annoyed.
"Your decision is not yours to make,Doctor."said the Guardian.
"If you wish to escape from this,fight the alien hunters,and win."
The Doctor turned to Leela who was also looking a bit worried.
"Doctor..?"she said.
"N-no..you can't do this...Leela,wait!"said the Doctor.
But before he could protest further,he suddenly found himself in the heart of the local city many miles outside the rain forest.
"LEEELAA--NOOOOO!"he cried and found himself in an alley with his Tardis,and it was raining.
"No."he cursed.
While back in the amazon,Leela was alone,armed with the few weapons she had.
"Doctor...DOCTOR?"she called.
Meanwhile,the two Predators were on the prowl,the gold one was in the amazon with Leela and the silver one was on the hoof in the city,searching for the Doctor.
The real hunt,was about to begin!
