So who saw the new Predator movie? I personally liked it but the CGI kinda ruined it for me in regards to a certain character in the movie.
Summary: Lex thought she would never see the Predator that marked her with a mysterious symbol ever since the battle in Antartica. While leading yet another expedition, this time in the jungles of the Amazon, she runs into the very same alien that had been on her mind since. How will Scar react to seeing her after recovering from his near fatal wound?

Chapter XIII
"Are you sure this is the right direction?" Lex whispered as the small group made their way towards the last known distress signal.
"Yes. Map not lie," Scar replied gruffly.
Lex bit her lips and pressed a few buttons on her wrist-comp, pulling up a map that showed a beeping dot showing the location of the last known signal. According to their position, it shouldn't be much further. In fact, they should be right in front of the signal, and Scar suddenly throwing a hand out to stop Lex was proof enough they had arrived at their destination. Making a few signals with his hand, Scar directed the others to scatter and hide while they searched for signs of the survivor.
"What the hell is this..." Lex breathed as they approached the location.
"Trophies, from other species."
"I can see that."
This area had to be the base of the larger Predators they saw earlier. There were trophies displayed on stakes everywhere Lex looked, and some of them definitely looked like they belonged to a human.
She fought the urge the shudder and pressed close to Scar.
"Up ahead," Scar said.
Directing her gaze towards the giant tree looming in front of her, Lex saw a body tied around the base of the trunk and realized it was a Predator.
"Stay here," Scar ordered.
"No need to tell me twice."
She found a hiding spot and waited for Scar to approach the Predator alone. Someone tapped her on the shoulder and Lex whirled around, dagger in hand as her instincts kicked in. Glaive deactivated his cloaking device with his hands held up and Lex exhaled a breath of relief.
"Damn it Glaive! Don't do that to me!"
Glaive gave his version of a laugh but straightened up when Scar returned a while later.
"How did it go?" she asked.
"There is war, big ones pick on smaller ones, he is the last one left."
So it was a turf war of sorts?
"Are we going to save him?"
"I try but hear noise. Big ones return with more prize, we try later when they are gone."
Snow trailed behind Winter quietly while Javelin and Dart spent most of the trip bickering among themselves. Her mind was busy trying to wrap around the fact that there was a human female among their ranks. For a long time she had thought herself unworthy, being the offspring of a human and a Predator. Her mother died when she was young, trying to protect her from Bad Bloods who wanted to hunt her for her eyes. It was her Predator father who raised her, taught her to fight, to become a warrior in her own right, but even he fell victim to sinister blades.
Now she was the only one left of her line.
"You're awfully silent, even more than usual."
"I'm just thinking," she replied, turning to glare at Javelin through her mask.
"You're bothered about that human aren't you?" Dart asked.
"Nobody would think you're mute if you didn't speak Dart," she spat back.
"What is wrong with you? You're more bitchier than usual."
Snow raised a hand and was about to punch Javelin in the face when Winter grabbed her wrist.
"Enough," he said calmly.
She wrenched her hand free and stomped off ahead of the trio. Winter turned and smacked the other two upside the head for their antics.
"Stay here and make yourselves useful by catching us something to eat. I'll go talk to Snow," he ordered.
Winter found Snow deeper inside the forest slashing furiously at the surrounding trees.
"Snow," he called out.
A dagger came flying his way but Winter caught the projectile easily with his hand.
"Leave me alone," Snow shouted angrily.
"You need to calm down."
"No! You don't know anything about what I'm going through right now!"
The elite warrior calmly walked over towards his partner and gripped her wrist gently in his, exerting enough force to make her drop the blade on the forest floor. Snow knew it was useless to struggle against him, he trained under Wolf nearly his entire life, his strength was beyond hers.
"Breathe," he instructed.
Snow inhaled a sharp breath and let it out slowly, feeling the tension drain out of her body as she did.
"Better?"
"Let my hand go," she finally said.
Winter released her hand and Snow sheathed her daggers on her belt, the pressed several buttons on her wrist-comp to switch her view back to infrared. This was the first time in a while that she had lost control. The last time she did, Winter had to replace every single trophy in his room with new ones after the rampage she went on. Seeing Scar with a human female was not what drove her over the edge this time, but the fact that the Elders accepted her so easily whereas Snow had to prove her worth to not just the Elders, but the other Predators aboard the ship as well.
Then again, Scar did mention the human took down a hard-meat queen.
"I know why you're upset. It's the human female with Scar isn't it?" Winter asked, cocking his head to the side.
"What do you know?" she hissed.
"You're jealous the others have warmed up to her so easily, Scar of all Yautja right? We all know Scar prefers to work alone or only with Glaive, Storm, and Javelin. You're jealous he marked a human with the symbol of our clan."
Snow removed her mask and flared her mandibles angrily at Winter but deep down she knew he was right.
She was jealous.
Jealous of the human for being Scar's partner.
"Do you know why the Elders paired you with me?" Winter inquired.
"No. Probably because you're a Elite."
"They paired you with me because I see potential in you to become a great warrior."
"Behind you!" Lex shouted.
Scar dodged to the right and plunged his dagger into the back of the dog? alien? alien-dog hybrid that was trying to maul their faces off. Lex panted heavily as she stood beside the other Yautja. Somehow one of them triggered a trap and the next thing they knew, this weird alien-dog hybrid was chasing after them like no tomorrow. For the first time, Lex was glad Scar put her through rigorous training, otherwise she would have been dead within the first thirty seconds already.
They deactivated their cloaking devices and knelt beside the carcass.
"Who trigger trap?" Scar demanded, glaring at the other three Predators.
Storm shifted uncomfortably beside Glaive and Lex had a feeling it was Scar's second-in-command who did it.
"Idiot, haven't I taught you better?" Scar growled, slapping Storm upside the head for his stupid mistake.
"Do you always do that?" Lex asked curiously, wincing a bit when she heard Scar's hand come in contact with Storm's mask.
"They warriors, should know better."
Glaive got to work turning the carcass into a trophy, forcing Lex to turn away lest she throw up everything in her stomach from the sight. Skinning something to the bone and pulling out its spinal cord was still something she wasn't used to, and definitely won't be getting used to anytime soon. Speaking of food, Lex reached into the pouch on the back of her belt and felt around.
She still had several bars of dried meat left.
What the meat was, she had no idea and was sure she didn't want to know.
As long as it was edible and the taste wasn't too revolting, she'd take it.
"Hey Scar, can I ask you something?"
"Ask," Scar grunted, studying the map on his wrist-comp closely.
"That Yautja back there, Snow I think her name is? Do you two have some sort of history together?"
Glaive's hand paused briefly on the carcass while Storm made some sort of weird chirping noise behind his mask. Lex was even more curious now that the other two were acting oddly after hearing her ask the question.
"She former partner, before Winter join clan."
"So she was your former partner? Why do I have a feeling there's something more to the relationship between the two of you?"
"Snow like me, want me as mate but I refuse."
Lex blinked several times behind her mask.
Well then.
She definitely did not see that coming.
So Snow was interested in Scar but he rejected her advances?
Oh boy, no wonder she got a certain feeling earlier when Snow looked her way. Lex was just glad her face was hidden behind a mask at that time.
"Why did you refuse?"
"Winter like her, I not want to fight Elite warrior for her."
Things just got very complicated.
"I'm just going to shut up now," Lex said before switching her attention back to Glaive.
Scar was inclined not to say anything more and allowed her to observe how Glaive prepared his trophy.
