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 XXXI
The banquet being held was nothing short of lavish as various types of...food were laid out long elongated tables in the dining hall of the palace. Lex made a face as she walked beside Va'Ilu, noticing how nothing seemed appetizing to her. As if sensing her distress at having nothing to eat, Va'Ilu took her over to a plate full of fruit. She gave him a small smile and piled her plate with the fruits that seemed most...edible and friendly looking in her eyes.
The negotiations will take place after this. I will do all I can to secure the release of the Yautja, Va'Ilu said mentally as they returned to their seats at the head of the table.
Do you think it will work? The last thing we need is an army of Aliens running rampant on the planet. I've...encountered them before and I am not kidding when I say they will stop at nothing to either turn you into a host, or kill you on the spot.
Va'Ilu inclined his head in understanding.
We too have witnessed the destructive powers of the children of the goddess. The only reason why I allowed one to remain within the city was because of my sister's influence...and I have also noticed something different about this particular goddess.
She listens to Echo.
Echo? Is that the name of the Yautja who brought you here?
Yea.
Their mental conversation was interrupted by the Ez'is leader clearing his throat rather loudly on the other end, deliberately cutting off their sentences as the duo turned to look at him simultaneously.
"Forgive me for intruding but I am rather curious about your majesty, how is it that you came to be the bride of the King of the Re'Nloks?"
Lex stiffened slightly beside Va'Ilu as she looked to him uncertainly for guidance.
Do not reveal too much, fabricate a story if you must. My sister and I will be your witnesses.
She glanced over to where Va'Alu was seated and the latter gave a small incline of her head, the beads on her headdress tinkling softly as light refracted off the crystals.
"I was chosen by the handmaidens of the High Priestess in my dreams, and after several months of having the same message over and over, they appeared before me one day and took me to this planet. I've been Va'Ilu's wife since the day I was brought here," Lex said, lying through her teeth and smile at the same time.
The Ez'is leader looked to the siblings for confirmation and both nodded their heads.
"I see. It has been many moons since I last saw a human female as Queen. I mean no disrespect when I say this, as your genetic compositions are similar, so I am not surprised a human has been chosen."
Va'Ilu cleared his throat and steered the conversation away from her, something Lex was grateful for as she tentatively took a bite of a fruit that resembled an apple. Sweet juices exploded inside her mouth, nearly drenching the front of her robes if Va'Ilu didn't hand her a Re'Nlok version of a towel in time. She gave a small smile and wiped her chin with it while biting the fruit.
"Almost there," Scar said as the entourage spied a looming castle in the distance surrounded by a vast wall.
"Remember the Elders want us to scout and not do anything rash," Glaive reminded, giving Scar a pointed look.
"Shut it."
The group activated their camouflage and slipped through the gates unnoticed when the guards were distracted by a stray animal running away from the walls. The streets within were somewhat bustling and busy but given the time of day, they weren't surprised to find few people on the streets by then. The sun was starting to set so it was natural many residents began making their way home to rest for the evening.
"Up ahead," Dachande informed, signaling with a clawed hand.
"If Echo has done anything to hurt Lex..."
"We'll worry after we figure out where the hard meats are," Storm spoke.
Being careful to avoid bumping into the residents, the Predators decided to approach from the rooftops of the tightly packed homes. Despite their size and stature, they were actually rather silent when it comes to moving about quickly, their hunting and stalking skills having been honed to the highest senses. Machiko was...well given her status as a human, her movements weren't that audible to begin with.
Several tense moments later which involved Dagger nearly running into a local Re'Nlok, they arrived at the palace and quickly scaled the walls with their equipment. Scar split from the rest of the group and no one argued with him otherwise. They all knew how anxious he was to find what happened to Lex, and standing in his way would only worsen things for everyone.
Scar silently made his way through the corridor, following the map on his wrist-comp after scanning the entire building using the equipment given by the Ancients. There were several rooms that resembled bed chambers, and Scar decided to check there as it would be his best bet to find Lex.
The banquet finally ended after what seemed like an eternity to Lex as Va'Ilu escorted her back to her room. Her spirits were lifted after hearing the Predators from earlier were not to be sacrificed after all. Va'Ilu had used a considerable sum of money to purchase them from the Ez'is, and they were handed over once the payment was completed. They were currently being held in the dungeons but Va'Ilu assured Lex they were not being tortured nor imprisoned. They were to remain there until the Ez'is left the planet, then they were free to go back home.
Tomorrow will be a busy day, as the Ez'is want to see the Goddess for themselves. I must go and oversee the preparations alongside my sister, to ensure nothing goes wrong and there is no foul play involved.
Lex gave a nod of understanding and Va'Ilu left her alone in her room.
Just as she was about to peel herself out of the ridiculous robe the handmaidens made her wear, she heard something rustling outside and immediately whirled around, her hand pressed against the hilt of the dagger given by Va'Ilu to defend herself with.
"Who goes there?!" she demanded.
A muffled knock came from the door this time, and after giving the balcony a final look, Lex went over to open it. Standing outside was none other than the leader of the Ez'is, and he was looking rather tipsy. Immediately she placed a leg behind the door and stared out the crack. She had watched way too many movies back home to figure out what would happen if she let him in.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"M'lady...sorry to disturb you," the leader slurred, clearly in a drunken state.
"You should get going back to your guest chambers," Lex said as she attempted to close the door.
Unfortunately the moment her foot left the edge of the door, the leader barged his way into her room and tackled her onto the bed. Lex tried to scream but his hand covered her mouth, and both her arms were restrained over her head by the other hand. A gag was stuffed into her mouth somehow and that same hand trailed down against the robe covering her body, and Lex could feel his fingers grazing over the flesh of her stomach.
"Such a shame you're Va'Ilu's bride, you're more suited to be my wife. I will lavish you with attention and you'll bear my children," he purred against her ear, his fingers reaching down into that one spot she'd never want anyone else touching.
Just as her robes were about to be ripped off, a shuriken came flying from outside the balcony and lodged itself into the leader's back. He howled in pain and jumped to his feet, frantically trying to remove the weapon from between his shoulder blades. Lex sat up on the bed, her breathing erratic as her eyes shifted towards the balcony.
A familiar growl greeted her ears and Lex could feel tears pooling beneath her eyes.
"Scar?"
To be continued...
Review?
Oh shit, Lex was almost raped.
What's Scar gonna do to the poor leader? x3
See you all next time!
