CHAPTER 3 I SEE YOU

Lore walked over to the mangled ship and sighed at the sheer disappointment at not looking after his father's ship, Lore ducked his head under the monstrous misshapen door and went inside, what a mess he couldn't even tell what anything once was.

Lore made his way over to the weapon room and he could tell just by the cracked scanner glass that this door was not going to open, Lore looked around for something to wedge in the slightly distorted frame work of the metal door, he quickly picked up the sound of someone else entering what was left of the ship.

Lore turned to see Snipe looking at the huge scale of damage, Lore turned back around swinging his dreads as he continued searching for a suitable tool.

"Hey, Lore was this ship yours? Snipe asked

"No" Lore replied, not even turning to look at the young Yautja

"Then who's? Snipe eagerly asked

Just then another voice appeared deep and angry.

"SNIPE", "You know better than to even try and speak to a blooded warrior unless he has spoken to you first", Dalkar said looking with a disapproving stare towards Snipe.

Snipe dipped his head down and walked away from the wreckage; Dalkar had a large peace of hard metal pipe in his grasp and continued towards Lore to help him with the door.

Both Lore and Dalkar grabbed hold of the pipe and on 3 they levered the door open, before entering the room Lore nodded to Dalkar in appreciation for his help and then asked Dalkar how old Snipe was?

"Snipe is a very young minded 17 year old pup, his father is an Elder and he asked me as a favour to bring him along to see if I could teach him some proper Yautja behaviour, whilst out on this hunt", Dalkar explained whilst stepping into the weaponry room after Lore.

All the weapons were scattered on the floor as was the armour his father had given him, Lore picked the armour up peace by peace and dressed him self in it until he was wearing the complete set, he then picked up the black cape that represented his families honourable name, Dalkar took the cape from Lore and attached it to Lore's very impressive, spiked shoulder armours.

"You are very honoured to wear such cape Lore, you must of impressed more than just your family to be aloud to wear such declaration", Dalkar said as he nodded showing his respect to Lore.

"My families honour mean more to me than life, and my father is still a great warrior soon to become an Elder", Lore said in a very proud manner.

Dalkar nodded again as a sign of respect and helped Lore look for the blades and the mask that went with this great armour.

"Found your blades, and this must be your mask, how did you come across this mask it's an Elders champion mask? Dalkar asked as he held the mask carefully in his hand.

"My father was awarded it by a great Elder for the discovery of knew technology from a species never been encountered before", Lore said not wanting to delve into his mothers past.

"Which species is that? Dalkar asked.

"Taraziles, you should of herd of them, the information for them will be in every hunters wrist device now", Lore said as he finally found the long sword.

Couple of seconds past without a word so Lore turned to look at Dalkar to see his mouth wide open and his mandibles slightly spread in amazement.

"Your father is Taronzebkjarl, I should of known", Dalkar said and then walked straight up to Lore and placed his hand on his shoulder, " It is an honour to be on this hunt with you Lore" Dalkar said with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

"Dalkar, the oomans to the east are getting closer", Young Snipe shouted into the ship with a fixated gaze as he saw Lore in his armour.

Lore and Dalkar walked out the wrecked ship and made there way to there camp area, Snipe picked up some weapons and placed them in holders around his waist belt.

"Snipe, put your mask on and switch to cloaking" Dalkar said and also placed his mask over his face and switched to cloak mode, Lore took the great mask in both his hands and placed it carefully over his face, it was a perfect fit.

All three of them started to make there way through the forest, Lore and Dalkar where very silent and well trained to be as undetected as possible, where Snipe on the other hand clumsily snapped a few branches and tripped up twice, the third instalment of a trip was caught by Lore, Lore de-cloaked and looked straight to the transparent image he had before him "Snipe you are going to give our position away", Lore spoke quietly 'But, with a serious warning.

Suddenly the hunters froze as oomen voices could be herd from straight ahead, Snipe held his large blade tightly and as he did the leather from his hand armour made a large cracking noise, the oomans went quiet and Dalkar and Coledren felt like killing the pup there and then.

Lore's heat scanner showed that Dalkar had gone to investigate what the oomens were doing, Lore turned to face the pups now un-cloaked form, Snipe looked to the forests floor as he knew he had messed up big time.

"They didn't hear, they have walked further up an oomen track and are attempting to make a fire, we should get in position and watch to see what there up to", Dalkar suggested.

Each hunter positioned them self's in the back ground of the oomans camp site, even Snipe managed to do this without any noise, they stayed in their cloaked form and scanned the oomans for weapons.

Lore's scan indicated that there where 4 males and 1 female ooman, all without weapons, Lore switched to a heat scan and carefully scanned each ooman, all was normal for an ooman apart from the female, her scan wasn't as red looking as the others, her scan was red but with a ripple of blue shimmed that ran up and down her body.

After a few minutes 3 of the males got to there feet and walked off into the forest, Lore received a message from Dalkar saying him and Snipe where going to follow the 3 males, Lore stayed looking to the remaining male who was resting against a tree and nodding of to sleep, the female turned in her seated position and looked dead straight in Lore's direction, could she see him?

Her gaze was firmly fixed on his position, the female rose to her feet looked at the ooman male as if checking he was still asleep and started to walk towards Lore, was his cloaking device working properly? He raised his hands in front of him to check, it was fine, the female stopped 3 feet from Lore as he tensed up, she knelt down and started to gather some branches, Lore started to relax, until she said

"I see you hunter, do not even try and harm these unarmed humans or I will drop you to your knees, and tell that to your friends too", the female said in a quiet 'but, serious manner.

Lore reached out and grabbed the females arm tightly as she was about to turn, Lore didn't take to kindly to the fret and rumbled a deep growl in his chest, the female looked at him with a look that could kill, he released her after hearing the sleeping male stir, Lore stepped back a couple of feet after getting a message from Snipe saying that the other males where on their way back.

Lore, Snipe and Dalkar re-grouped and talked about the humans, Lore told Dalkar about her detecting him even thou he was cloaked.

"You think that's the strangest thing, her seeing you. What about her speaking our language? Dalkar said whilst watching the play back mode on Lore's wrist device.

"What is she? Snipe asked.

"I'm not sure she has ooman DNA as well as something else" Lore said whilst still watching the play back and focusing on her shimmering curvy silhouette.

Dalkar started to send a message to the other hunters who were watching the heavy guarded building, as he finished the message he noticed Lore still staring at the paused image of her.

"What are you thinking? Dalkar asked

"Nothing of any importance" Lore replied as he got to his feet and walked off in the opposite direction.

Snipe looked at Dalkar, Dalkar just shrugged his huge shoulders and carried on sending the message.
