DC Gothic – Red-X
Part 20
Location Unknown
I imagined that it was a really hot day in this fake jungle environment that was the arena for today's fight, the Red-X suit kept me cool when it was warm and warm when it was cold. It was temperature controlled. But given the steam that was rising up from the floor I knew it must be hot.
Also I knew that since 'Orion' the Predator saw by heat that the steam was good cover for me. I might need since while my suit also had a cloaking device, like the alien did, I had no idea if it masked my heat or not.
I wasn't sure about that, but I did know that 'Orion' would also cloak himself as like me he would have quickly realised that this was not going to be a straight up fight. 'Orion' was going to try to hunt me rather than just kill me as quickly as possible.
Another thing I knew was the Predator would be cautious when facing me. 'Orion' had seen me kill a Xenomorph, and that those aliens were quite capable of killing Yautja. So I doubted he'd get in close unless he had to. I had compact explosives and a gun, which I never used but could, so if I was right he'd tried to take me out with the plasma weapon on this shoulder and then move in to take his trophy.
My mask gave me good night vision, as it was a suit meant for thief, but it didn't let me switch to infra-red and visibility was poor here due to the dense foliage. So I kept close to the steam and crept around as it was possible that 'Orion' would simply charge around because he might be assuming I'd run like in the fight with the other killer alien.
That was when I saw the Yautja, he wasn't cloaked so either he didn't have the equipment do that or he didn't know I could hide myself and had expected a fair fight.
When the plasma weapon the Predator's shoulder moved to point at me I realised that my cloaking device either didn't hide heat or his mask had switched to from a vision that did allow him to track me. Either way it it smart of me to turn off my cloaking device as it drained a lot of power, also it was smart of me to fire a sticky X at the plasma weapon.
My actions were indeed wise. The alien's shoulder mounted killing machine fire just as my sticky X impacted and that caused the weapon to discharge it's energy the wrong way which caused it to exploded.
'Orion' roared and then reached for what looked be metal disc. I'd seen Predator 2 so I knew exactly what the little device could do and the Hunter was faster than he looked. However I also was a fast git and was able to throw some Xs while my foe threw his disc.
One my throwing weapons embedded itself in 'Orion's' arm. His disc went over my head and cut the tree behind in two. I ended up having the dodge the falling truck too and when I got up the Yautja had gotten in close.
There was no point running if he could see my heat and I had no idea how big this jungle or what was in it so I nowhere to hide. I'd have to fight and hope that the Predator didn't get to make a trophy of my skull because while I might be immortal I didn't know if I could regrow a new head.
'Orion' took out his staff/spear and extended it. I did the same with my spear/staff only I extended mine further so it was bigger. Then to my surprise the alien weapon extended even more, but I was still able to match the length. Then the Yautja made sharp looking blades appear from both ends of his weapon but I only had one point.
"Oh well size really isn't everything" I muttered "And Raven seems to like mine anyway".
I really hoped that no one had been able to hear that, and to distract myself from thinking about getting to shag the Teen Titan even more I span my staff/spear so fast that to any human watching it would have looked like nothing more than blur. 'Orion' couldn't move his spear as fast as me but he was still able to show off a bit.
"Screw it" I muttered.
Our might weapons met as I tried to stab the Yautja in the chest, but the Predator was able to deflect my attack and then make one of his own. I was just able to divert the thrust and as I did that I kicked the Hunter. Which he didn't even seem to notice.
"Fuck" I muttered.
"Motherfucker" my foe replied.
'Orion' was far stronger than me so I kept ducking and weaving, and at one point I even managed to cut him there was a small amount of glowing green blood on the tip of my spear, but this meant little was members of that race had taken shotgun blasts at close range without being killed.
I had plenty of energy, but I knew I couldn't keep this dance forever and I guessed that my enemy knew the same. He was forcing to me keep moving. I never got a chance to do more than react most of the time and when I slowed for just a moment 'Orion' went for a overhead slash that I was just able to block with your spear. The Predator stopped moving for a moments and then made a clicking noise. I knew why he was either confused or perhaps even concerned: there are very few metals that would have withstood that blow. My last staff/spear would have been cut in two I was sure of that.
Taking this chance I broke away from combat. I couldn't get past the alien's guard so I knew I had to try something else. I dropped the staff/ spear, then flipped and jumped while grabbing the branch of tree. I then pulled myself up and was just about to jump on to another branch when 'Orion's' spear hit my cape and pinned me the trunk of the tree. Thankfully for me I could remove the cape with ease. Robin must have foreseen something like this happening and had it possible to forgo the item of clothing if needs be.
The Predator roared again and his wrist blades made an appearance as he chased after me. 'Orion' was really fast on his feet for such a big fellow but not fast enough.
At this point I could have shot him but I didn't thinking doing that wouldn't do me any good as guns didn't with his kind, so inside I sent sticky Xs at the Hunter and he (assuming the alien even was a he) ended up stuck on the ground. He was kneeling and couldn't even raise his arms.
Unlike the xenomorph the Predator had no acid blood to spill and while the sticky substance wouldn't hold him for long it would be long enough for me to end his fight.
I jumped out of the tree and as I span my staff I realised that if 'Orion' had been armed with a net launcher he'd have won this fight, but he'd not been equipped to fight someone like me.
My staff/spear met the Predator's head and then I span again, this knocked off 'Orion's' mask.
"Shit Happens" the alien hunter said.
Him saying that made me realise that 'Orion' knew he was going to die and on some level he was okay with that. Which wasn't odd as on when Safari sometimes you get the lion and sometimes it gets you.
All it would take was one good thrust into the eyes and that would kill 'Orion' because no matter how many muscles or extra organs he had he still only had one brain.
But then I stopped myself because I wasn't hero and therefore I didn't need to kill him because he wasn't a monster. Sure he killed that one hero, but that didn't mean anything to me and in 'Orion's' culture killing a foe in a fight was moral. Who was I to judge.
Also I wasn't a villain so I had no desire to kill for pleasure or sport, and I was not going to end another life for the Traveller's amusement even it get me some sort of a reward.
I was a thief and I was out for myself. I wanted to survive sure, but I'd won. 'Orion' wasn't even trying to free himself he'd figured he'd lost as was just trying to die with as much dignity as possible. So I'd already won.
Sure if I allow him to live he going to go on killing . . . a lot, but it would be in some far corner of the galaxy and he might just be killing Xenomorphs, which was fine with me.
On the other hand he might come to Earth some day to hunt me down for the shame of not killing him in battle, but that might be years from now or he might even respect me for winning and just leave me alone. He wasn't human I couldn't predict his actions.
All that and more when through my head and I had my staff/spear at his throat and I was staring at his face.
"I win" I said as firmly as I could "This game is over".
That was when I felt the tugging sensation and then I was somewhere else.

My earlier fight had been longer than the last one, and not where near as scary and also unlike last time I wasn't emotional drained right now. In fact I felt pretty good about myself.
I'd defeated two powerful alien foes using my wits and my tools, and while Blackfire was most ignoring me Raven wasn't she even looking at me when she should have been paying attention to her friends and I knew those looks well. Raven was falling for me. Which meant it would be easy to get to spread her legs later.
Also while I was starving there was plenty of food and no one was bothering me as I ate. They were even serving cottage pie, which I just loved as my Mum has used to make it.
As I took a bite a dagger slammed into the table before me I saw 'Orion' standing before me. He had his mask back on, but the way he stood and his actions made me think he was going to try to kill me. Also at some point the Hunter had carved an X into his mask, which was strange because I'd won the fight.
"Trophy" the Predator said before walking away.
It didn't take me long to figure out what he meant. The dagger was made of advanced metals but wasn't something technological, the Yautja blew themselves up rather than be defeated but that hadn't been an option for 'Orion' so perhaps he had expecting me to try to steal his tech. Given that I hadn't, and the fact that I had defeated him he must have felt honour bond to give me something.
That was however mostly guesswork. They could just be race of sore losers and the dagger could have been 'Orion's' way of saying 'I am going to murder you soon' but I wasn't too worried. The chances of him finding me on Earth were low and even if he did well I'd proven that I could beat him now. But that didn't mean other members of his race, who might be far more experienced, stronger and better armed, might not hunt me merely for the challenge.
What I did know for certain was the dagger that was now in my hand seemed to weight very little yet it sliced through the metal table as if the steel was nothing more than paper. This would indeed be a great weapon in future fights.
I was just about to start eating again when Robin came over.
"Oh just go away" I said.
It was hard to tell what Robin was yelling about but it seemed to have something to do with me not killing 'Orion' when I had the chance, which was odd because he was suppose to moan about me killing people not sparing their lives.
"So its a problem when I spare the life of a killer" I argued "but when Batman does the same thing like with the JOKER every single time that monster escapes Arkham then it is alright, but if I do the same thing you have a go at me for it. You fucking hypocrite".
Suddenly I had lost my appetite so I stormed away.

"Your fearless is driving me nuts" I told Raven as she got ready for bed.
"He hates you because you wear his suit and keep beating him in fights" Raven replied from inside the bathroom "If you stopped wearing it you'd be able to be friends. You're really a lot a like".
Now I was glad I hadn't much dinner because I felt like I wanted to vomit. I was nothing like Robin.
"But if you took of the suit you couldn't keep beating him in fights" Raven the said while she brushed her teeth.
I wanted to remark on that but she was right, this suit was amazing and I still hadn't seen everything it could do. Without I'd just be an above average villain who happened to be immortal.
"At least your not as stubborn" Raven said as she came out of the bathroom "Robin takes everything so personally and never lets things go. You on other hand can relax".
I was staring at this point as she was just in her bra and panties, and she noticed me looking she got a little shy.
"Don't look" she ordered.
Quickly she turned off the lights and got under the covers. I'd already stripped down to my boxers so I was ready to sleep.
"You looked cool when you were fighting that Predator thing" Raven said as she edged over to me
She wasn't even going to make me work for so I decided to get to it. At first I just played with the inside of her thighs, causing her to gasp, then I softly kissed her on the lips.
Then with one hand wrapped around her hip, I held her still. I used the other hand to slowly rub pussy while inside her knickers. I then poked one finger into her opening, then I slowly moving it in and out until I had a rhythm going. All the while Raven moaned.
When she wet enough I pushed another finger into her. I found her clitoris and began to pinch it in-between my two fingers. Then I brought my mouth back to her lips for more kissing. I kept at it with my hands until she screamed out her orgasm I stopped kissing her at this point I could her calling out my name.
"What more?" I asked.
I could sell well enough in the dark without my mask on so I saw her nod.
"Beg" I ordered.
She went rigid in my arms, but only for a moment as she spoke.
"I want you inside of me, please".
That was more a polite request than begging but it was close enough.
We kissed passionately and furiously, pulling at each other to remove what little clothing we had while also trying to be as close together as we possible could. My hands were all over had while hers focused in one area. It felt as if she trying to push me inside her.
I sped things up and it felt so good to be inside her. The feel of her tight cunt was already trying to milk the cum out of me but it wasn't going to end that soon.
"Go faster...harder..." Raven gasped in my ear.
I pounded into her over and over again, trying to get as deep inside her as I could and she wrapped her legs around me as if she wanted to help. This went on until the inevitable happened.
"X!" she screamed as she orgasm while I was close to cumming inside here her muscles were squeezing and then she yelled my name again and I couldn't hold myself any longer. I came into her body in hot jets.
When we both brought our breathing under control again I slipped out of her and rolled over onto my side, bringing Raven with me. We cuddled and kissed lightly, and I saw that she was sleepy.
I was too so we fell asleep holding each other.
