Chapter 109: Ghosts in the Trees.

Thomas and Vessa came back from the briefing with the commander with a sombre air about them and the whole pride could feel it as they looked up from their seats in the Silk Spider.

"What's the deal guys?" Tezz asked as the pair closed the rear ramp of the APC and dropped down into their seats with the rest of their pride but they weren't the only ones present, all of Thomas's Hunter team were also in the crew bay.

"GMF is sending a grab team to transport the bodies of those sniper bugs we killed then we are going to move on to link up with Spectre one, command is worried about what else the bugs have got hidden in these trees, they think that snipers could be the least of our worries," Thomas said his voice sounding heavy with worry.

Tezz hopped off her seat and her armoured claws clicked on the deck plating as she walked up to him before hopping up into his lap to straddle it while facing him causing him to look up in surprise.

"Something tells me it's not the heavily armoured vehicles in this convoy that you are worried about, is it gorgeous?" she said softly as she reached up to stroke his cheeks with her armoured hands.

"Is it that obvious?" he asked softly as she held his face lovingly in her hands.

"Yeah and don't you dare be ashamed of what you are feeling, you are scared for the safety of the ones you love, you know we are going to be out there in harm's way and it scares you, this is perfectly normal, hell if you were a Raptorian male you would be inconsolable if they were told something like what you know," she said.

"Bit of a disservice to the brave Raptorian boys that we have in our ranks don't you think?" Thomas said with a soft chuckle as he looked up at the beautiful Raptorian girl sitting in his lap with her long thick tail trailing down his legs to his feet.

"The boys in the Clan's ranks aren't like the ones we have back home, I mean you have Remal Rainbowscale, half the girls on our planet would have cut off their own tail just to have the chance to take him to dinner let alone be sitting in his lap," Tezz said playfully as she gently bounced up and down.

"Are you trying to make me jealous?" Thomas shot back reaching out to grab her waist to make her stop bouncing but one little mistiming made him grab her rear end instead and made her tail shoot out straight.

"Looks like it's working," Tezz shot back with a grin.

"Remal Rainbowscale is mate hunted and claimed by a proud Yautja Seeker, your girls would do well to keep your eyes from his tail unless they enjoy being force-fed their own tails and then turned into a basketball hoop," Ziva growled from the front of the APC.

The pride all chuckled and Ziva growled again.

"What is funny small ones?" Ziva growled and they all glanced at Thomas.

"She is not joking, you think Raptorian girls are possessive over their males you haven't seen a Yautja girl with a bad case of the green-eyed monster, it's not pretty, they are equally bad when it comes to sneaky Raptorian girls trying to make their pride male jealous by insinuating attractions to another male," he said shooting an evil grin at his pride before giving a wink to Ziva.

"We would never betray our male, it was merely a joke!" all of them yelled at once jumping to their feet and forming a united scaly wall between him and the massive Yautja female who slowly lifted herself out of her seat in order to tower over them but to their credit not a single one of the pride even flinched as Ziva leaned down to look at them.

Then the large Yautja girl drew her mandibles up into an evil grin, "If I thought for even a second you were serious little one you would already be an ooman basketball hoop, ooman boys so love their basketball in the clan, maybe they would appreciate a living Raptorian shaped hoop as a gift?" she said with a surprisingly playful note to her deep resonating voice.

"Now she is joking," Thomas said gently guiding Tezz back from her stand-off with the massive Yautja woman and back into his lap gripping her by the ebum as he did.

"You believe us don't you?" Tezz asked looking up at him the playfulness had gone from her voice and had now been replaced by uncertainty.

Thomas chuckled and then lifted Tezz's chin in order to place a kiss on her scaly lips making her feathers ruffle in surprise.

"Oh my sweet scaly little love, if I thought for a moment that you weren't joking you wouldn't have to worry about her, you'd have to worry about me, let's just say we take infidelity and mate betrayal very seriously in the Clan, we take it as not only spitting in the face of the one who gave you their heart to protect but spitting in the face of the Eternal Huntress and now the Great Tree who guided you to them, let's just say there is no forgiveness in the Clan for such people, it's a one-way ticket to being exiled from the Clan and having all of your memories of us stripped away by a Seeker," he said and all of his pride looked absolutely amazed by this little revelation.

"Seriously!? The Clan will take your memories away from you?" Vessa exclaimed and all of the Clan members present nodded their heads in unison.

"It is one of our most sacred laws because betrayal to the Clan is more serious than you can imagine, we see the fact that you are willing to betray your most sacred of vows to the one you were supposed to love and protect then you would have even less of a problem betraying the Clan and its secrets to outsiders, so in order to protect the Clan you will be removed from it, a Seeker will strip you of all your memories of the Clan and its secrets and you will be cast adrift alone in space with nothing more than a ship and some supplies, but it's worse than that," Thomas said.

"How could it be worse!?" Vessa exclaimed as she hopped up onto the bench next to him and cuddled into his side as the rest of his pride followed suit and piled onto him grabbing anything of his they could hold onto like he was about to be wrenched from their grasp.

"You think a mate betrayer would get off so lightly as to simply be cast out to wander freely?" Ziva growled and when the pride looked at her curiously.

"The Seekers pull every memory of the Clan but what they don't strip you of is the memories of the one you betrayed and the love that they felt for you, they will push their love and their pain into your mind and burn it in so no matter how long you live or how far you run it will follow you until the final day where you lie down your head and breathe your last, then comes the worst part, then you will have to try and justify your actions to the Great tree or the Eternal Huntress and all I can say is good luck with that," Ziva said.

"Wow and we thought mate betrayers were treated like shit on our world but the worst that happens there is that you get shunned and no male will come near you, word gets around real fast about betrayer prides and given that single males have their own little groups and like to talk word spreads fast," the pride said.

"Is as it should be, a boy's heart is not a toy or a plaything to throw around like one of the annoying plastic discs that Xenos love to play with!" Ziva growled.

"Hey don't you dare bash the sacred frisbee it's our king and queen's favourite sport!" a distinctly Xeno voice came from above them in the crew bay.

"They should try the same thing with smart disc is true Hunters sport!" Ziva yelled back up while banging her fist on the ceiling of the crew bay with a heavy thud.

"I'm pretty sure the Clan likes having walls and floors about as much as we like having fucking fingers!" the Xeno voice yelled back.

"Then you should learn to catch," Ziva grumbled before turning her attention back to the pride.

"My point is the Clan takes love very seriously, it is the most sacred thing to us as much as our duty and loyalty because all to us all are one and the same, Clan Mason was built on love and respect between two people who were supposed to hate one another, one because they were hunted by my kind and the other because they were supposed to be a weak prey species, but he showed her more respect and loyalty in the mere days that he knew her than her entire clan had done her whole life, it forged a union that would birth both a pair of legends and our Clan, their story reached out into the stars and drew in all of those who felt the same as they did, like their lives were lost and empty, that they were unrespected and unvalued by those they fought for, the Clan took them in gave them purpose and showed them who they truly are, this is what it is to be Clan Mason," Ziva said proudly.

"Well said sister," Thomas said.

"That sounds beautiful," Vessa said.

"It is and now it is something you will have to get very used to because now that you love a member of the Clan who loves you too you are now a part of the Clan, that is the nature of the Star Hunt, you found love with a member of the clan on a world far away from either ours or your own, this is considered hunting for love among the stars and you have caught your truest prey," Ziva said to the pride.

The girls tightened up their hug around Thomas.

"And now you know why I fear so much, it's also why I'm going to be riding with you on the MK5s," Thomas said and all of the girl's heads snapped up so fast their feathers took a moment to catch up with them.

"Wait! You can't you'll..." Vessa began until Thomas placed his hand on her lips.

"I'll be exactly where I belong, with my pride, if you take the risk you can't expect me to sit back and watch and at last count, we are down one rider so it falls on me to take the place of my fallen wife and before you even start arguing, I'm a Hunter of Clan Mason so just don't," he said.

Vessa looked around at her sisters but she could see the look of guilt in their eyes as well as the look of determination to protect their male, they all seemed to know that there was no way of dissuading him as they knew that he would rather die at their sides than to sit back and watch them die which was exactly how they themselves felt so how could they deny him that right.

Vessa turned to look at Ziva and she once again saw the big Yautja woman grinning at her.

"I do believe our new little sister is starting to understand the true heart of a Hunter, we are not content to watch those we love to throw themselves into harm's way unless we are standing shoulder to shoulder alongside them as is our earned right when you claim the heart of a Hunter you claim their sword as well and that is not before one of smart-mouthed Xenos yells giggity again a metaphor, a Hunter is the Sword of Clan Mason, the blade by which evil dies," she said before they all heard grumbling from above their heads by said Xeno who had been pipped out of their moment by Ziva's quick thinking.

"What the hell is a Giggity?" Tezz asked in confusion.

"Long story but its something our Grand Patriarch says every so often when someone says something kinda sexual and apparently it has tickled all of the Xenos so now every time someone says anything that can be interpreted as sexual somehow a Xeno always seems to pop up just in time to say it," Thomas said.

"It's all in the comedic timing," the voice grumbled from above him.

"Well I can't say I'm happy about this but I think I understand it and yeah it's how I would want to go out, despite how it would be seen by Raptorian society at large, if I'm going to go out I'm going to do it with those I love at my sides fighting for them as they fought for me," Vessa said.

"This is as it should be young one, never feel ashamed for feeling this, this is how every true Yautja let alone every true Hunter feels, we fight for each other and for the Clan but most of all we fight for those we love and it is the Eternal Huntress given right of every Hunter to fight and die at the side of their chosen one, I am glad you are seeing this early, some oomans take years to figure it out or so our Grand Matriarch tells us," Ziva said with a bit of a chuckle.

"Well then I guess you'll be riding with me hot stuff, you wanna be in the front of the back?" Yexa asked and Thomas grinned at Ziva who banged her massive fist on the ceiling just in time to cause a Xeno screech from directly above their heads.

"Fucking spoilsports, you Hunters have no sense of humour I swear to the Eternal Huntress," a distinctly disgruntled Xeno voice grumbled from above them causing them all to laugh.

"Well I'm a boy who's always had a thing for a fine scaly tail end so I guess if I ride in the turret I get to spend the trip trying to count your ass scales through your armour now don't I?" Thomas said making Yexa make an eep noise before turning to look at him and breaking out in a massive grin that showed off her small but very sharp little teeth.

"Oh I get the feeling I'm suddenly going to enjoy this trip," Yexa said with a grin.

"Well you know without the impending problem of invisible sniper bugs hiding in the fucking trees waiting to take said scaly tail ends clean off, you might be better served using the gun to you know try to keep the snipers at bay," Tezz said.

"Is that jealousy that I'm not going to be counting the scales on your ass I hear my green-eyed and green-scaled little love?" Thomas said with a grin at her causing her feathers to ruffle in annoyance.

"You bet your fine human ass it is, our sister gets to have all the fun, we're gonna have to start a ride-along rotation assuming we don't indeed get said scaly tail ends shot off by the fucking bugs," Tezz said grumpily.

"You know that's not a bad idea, I think I might just do that, that way our husband gets to ride with a different wife every day we are on the road," Vessa said.

"Hmmm a different scaly little bum to stare at every day I'm beginning to think the Grand Patriarch is not the Eternal Huntress's chosen one, I'm beginning to think it might very well be me," Thomas said making all of his pride chuckle and swish their long tails in happiness at his loving and proud words.

The entire pride was kinda restless that night as they all tried to get some sleep before their ride out into the forest of death first thing in the morning, but it was also a result of all the teasing with their new human husband earlier that had gotten the girls of Alpha pride rather hot under the scales, especially as they were all currently cuddled up to various parts of him but with the snoring of the Yautja of his team currently reminding them that they had no privacy to act upon these feelings it was frustrating the hell out of them.

Thomas also sensed the frustration of his young wives but the way they kept tossing and turning, he suddenly found himself stroking both Vessa and Tezz's little scaly rear ends under the blanket they were all sharing.

The skin-tight undersuits they were wearing left very little to the imagination but also were tantalising enough to drive a guy crazy with imagination as his brain tried to piece together the picture of what their beautiful alien bodies looked like under those skin-tight torments.

As he began to gently creep his fingers over the exquisate and chiselled rear ends of both Vessa and Tezz he felt both of their long prehensile tails moving up and out of the way while also grabbing at both of his arms and pulling them down further signaling not only their consent but their yearning want.

Suddenly he felt soft kisses on both sides of his neck, he turned and saw two pairs of eyes glimmering at him in the darkness.

"I know it's not fair to take things too far while my sisters sleep as a pride's first time should be together all as one the way true pride should be, but that does not mean we cannot have a little fun to you know, relive some stress, what say you sister?" Vessa said in a near-silent whisper.

"I couldn't agree more sister, especially when our human pride male has such...talented hands," Tezz whispered in return planting a series of kisses on Thomas's neck as her tail's grip tightened on his arm and pulled his hand all the way under her tail and onto her incredibly firm ass.

Thomas had to bite back a soft gasp as he felt two very small but incredibly strong hands creeping down his chest raking their dull claws on him while seeking out the zipper for his suit.

"I think we may have to get creative to not make a mess sister, I doubt our pride sisters will appreciate waking up covered in our male's joy unless they were involved in giving it to him, don't you agree sister?" Tezz whispered softly.

Thomas felt them find the zipper and gently pull it down to expose his bare chest before those two little hands dove into his suit and began rubbing over his skin as they travelled downwards both seeking a very specific hidden prize.

As a Hunter Thomas was not content to simply lay there and take it, he was going to need to go on the counterattack, so with a bit of work and using both the length of his arms and the size of his hands to his advantage he managed to slide his hands right between his wives legs seeking out the secondary zipper used to allow them to go to the toilet easier which he found pretty damn quickly given his motivation.

Driven by the challenge of their human husband going on the counterattack attack both Vessa and Tezz quickened their pace in reaching their husband's hidden treasure, they both slipped their little clawed hands into his underwear and quickly began to stroke their fleshy prize.

"Ahh there it is, wow it feels like it's the size of my forearm, I dunno how the hell I'm gonna fit this thing inside me when the time comes but I am sure as hell gonna try," Tezz whispered and Vessa chuckled.

"We'll find a way, if the Guardian of Males pride can do it so can we and our husband is far prettier than the Guardian of Males," Vessa whispered back lifting her head to kiss under Thomas's chin.

Suddenly working in tandem both girls began to kiss down his body moving along the flesh that had been exposed by his zipper being drawn low, while they kissed lower and lower they moved the zipper down to free his manhood from its cloth prison.

The pair of them vanished under the blanket and Thomas had to bite back a gasp as he felt their lips and tongues making their way south towards the danger zone, he had to act fast.

Thomas quickly attacked the zippers that were between their powerful little legs and thanking the Eternal Huntress for being ambidextrous he managed to unzip them both at the same time before sliding his hands into their suits and bypassing their underwear by using the odd angles their small bodies were laid at to breach their defences and truly launch his own counter-attack in earnest, he might not have two mouths to attack them but he did have two dextrous hands and he was going to use them for all they were worth.

The scales between their legs were like smooth glass and silk rolled into one, they were so smooth and soft they felt incredible under his touch and better than that they were warm and sensitive to boot.

As his fingers slid over them he could feel their muscles flexing and bunching beneath their scales, he could hear their muted gasps from under the blanket as their kisses got further southwards and it seemed that his little Raptorian wives were not ones to be outdone either because all three of them arrived at their targets at the same time.

The fingers of both of Thomas's hands found two delicious little slits in those perfectly scaled hides that quivered and pulsed when he traced his fingers over those silken gates to the promised lands that hid behind them, but at the same time, his wive's lips found the pillar of human masculinity hidden under the blanket.

All three of them gasped at the same time, two of them from having large human digits slipping between their scaly lips and the other from a rather large fleshy digit slipping in between two pairs of scaly lips.

The three of them went on the offensive, but it was a quiet assault a silent assault, the only sounds were the unavoidable ones, like the slick squelching of fingers slipping between hot slick silken labia lips in search of little nuggets of pure joy that hid under hoods of flesh.

Or the sounds of two little tongues wrapping around a pillar of human flesh and then splitting up to attack two ends of the pillar in a two-pronged attack, one going for the jewels of his family name and the other going for the peak of the pillar and of his pleasure.

Thomas knew he had to split up his efforts too or these cunning and beautiful Raptorian girls were going to defeat him in the battle of love and pleasure and no Hunter worthy of their salt goes down without a fight, to do so would dishonour the Grand Matriarch and her teachings.

So he too split up his warriors, while one of his digit soldiers called Commander Thumb carried on the search for the golden nuggets of pure pleasure capitin middle set off on his own mission, this one to get to the core of the problem and this meant going where no human digit had gone before, deep into the core of the enemy.

Both warriors found their targets at the same time and mounted their attack.

He felt both Tezz and Vessa both tense up and fight to suppress their pleasure-filled moans as his middle fingers slid into their depths and his thumbs dug their clits out from under their fleshy little cloaks and began their attacks.

Both of the girls tried to clamp their powerful thighs together but Thomas swiftly realised that they were not trying to keep him out, they were trying to keep him in and stop him from pulling his hands away from them.

Inspired by this aching want that both of his scaly little wives were showing Thomas began his attack in earnest, he began to swirl his fingers in earnest around their clits.

Their small bodies began to react of their own will and he could feel the girls fighting to suppress the sensations that he was creating for them both, the way his digits danced and swirled around their sensitive little nubs, but both girls were not going to go down without a fight, but then by little mouth that was currently trying to peel his foreskin back with her lips and tongue maybe that wasn't entirely accurate.

The pleasure that Vessa was currently experiencing was like nothing she had ever expected in her life, she knew what pleasure felt like as of course she had masturbated before, hell she'd even used the tip of her tail once or twice when she had felt particularly desperate, but somehow this felt so much better than anything she had ever experienced before.

It took all of her strength to not scream with pleasure and she knew that if she didn't currently have their male's delicious manhood in her mouth she'd probably been howling like a stuck Gresmlin.

Every swirl every rub every single tiny little ministration of those incredibly dextrous human digits was a wonder unto itself, Vessa couldn't explain why him doing the exact same thing for her that she would do herself albeit much more clumsily felt oh so much better than when hse did it for herself but his touch was simply electric.

Taking her cue from her pride sister Tezz began to suckle on the two fleshy orbs that hung directly below the large shaft that they had freed from his pants, the sparkling salty taste that saturated her tongue crackled like electricity on her tongue as she drew one of the succulent, plump orbs into her mouth and began to suck on it, it felt so full and she couldn't wait to see how much they contained.

This had become a war of attrition, who would stay the course and who would win the battle, the two beautiful and scaly little Raptorian warriors, determined to divide and conquer their pride male with a team effort and two-pronged attack on his most cherished possession.

Or the proud Human Hunter who was fighting on two fronts for the pride of his species and his Clan, who was fighting to gain entry to places that no human or indeed male had ever gone before, suddenly with a swiftness that came from not only learning how to fucking duck in the blink of an eye when playing dodge ball against Yautja girls taught, one digit breached the gates and was swallowed whole into paradise.

Tezz had to fight not to give off an alarm call as she felt their human's broad digit being sucked into her body, but it was that sublime and wriggling finger that was making her fight against her every instinct, it was the sneak attack on her tail hole that had caught her totally off guard.

Thomas was indeed a student of the Clan but this time he had taken a leaf not out of the Grand Matriarch's book which usually involved throwing said book at someone's head or possibly trying to force-feed it to them, but instead from their Grand Patriarch's book instead.

Their Grand Patriarch was a master of misdirection and subterfuge, he could have an entire room of trained Hunters looking one way while he was smacking his wife's ass and running off giggling like a school Xeno in the other.

Plus that act proved that boldness and bravery usually won the day and anyone bold and brave enough to smack tik eleth Mason's ass when she wasn't looking not only deserved respect but some kind of award for somehow being still alive.

So while his little scaly wives were distracted by his vibrating and rubbing finger neither of them had paid any attention to his thumbs suiting themselves up in their lubricated suits courtesy of the copious amount of Raptorian nectar leaking out of both of them, then like a good Seeker Hunter one-two punch he'd hit both holes at the same time.

The heat and suction of his Tezz's body were incredible, it was like having his finger and thumb stuck in a Chinese finger trap made of hot liquid silk, he doubted he could pull them back out now even if he tried.

Her holes were sucking him in deeper by the second and the stimulation both of them were creating was driving her crazy made obvious by the wait her tail began to flex and spaz out before coiling around his arm to prevent his brave warrior's escape back out into the outside world.

No there was only one thing this brave Hunter of the Clan Mason could do now, attack on the other front as well.

For a moment Vessa thought her pride sister had lost her mind, she looked like she was trying to force her entire own face inwards by the expression she was making and by the way her tail was going crazy, it wasn't until she saw her eyes roll back and her tongue loll out of her mouth in pure bliss that she realised what was happening and by that time it was too late.

Vessa felt a hot dextrous digit invade her body from the front and only a moment later another much thicker one attacked the back, she realised too late that her own body had betrayed her and had lubricated the invader like it was welcoming an old friend across the threshold of her temples, their pride male was holding her like a fucking bowling ball and it felt absolutely sublime.

She knew that all the alarm calls in the world warning of an invader under her tail would not save her, it was already too late for her, her body was already succumbing to the absolutely divine pleasure of their pride male's thick dextrous digits swirling and stroking the nerve filled velvety flesh of her insides, with every single movement he made, every stroke, every delightful little touch bringing her ever closer to a release that threatened to blow her human loving mind into tiny bits, but she could not go silently int othe night, she had to fight, she was a proud Stalker of the Stars themselves, if she was going down she was taking their male with her.

So with one last desperate effort to drown their pride male in purest ecstasy and pleasure, Vessa stuffed as much of his maleness as would fit into her mouth and began to suck it for all she was worth, lashing the sensitive tip with her tongue and grinding that sensitive head along the roof of her mouth, trying to set fire to every nerve she could.

It worked.

Just as she felt the last bastion of her defences crumbling like cheaply made clay tiles she felt their male's manhood stiffen like a pillar of steel in her mouth, she felt it throb like a hyperdrive charging up and she knew that this was it, her chance to steal a draw from the jaws of defeat, to cascade all three of them into a unified bliss together, so with lone last coil of her long thing tongue she squeeze the tip and it happened.

Jet after jet of pure liquid pleasure fired from his manhood into her waiting mouth, painting every surface with the physical manifestation of his joy and pleasure, meanwhile her own body exploded from within, and both of her holes clamped themselves shut and trapped his digits within her, unwilling to release them until her pleasure was ridden out to its zenith.

Also by the look of pure silent bliss and by the vibrations that were passing through her pride sister Tezz was in the same state, her eyes had rolled up into her head, her tongue was lolling out and she was fighting as hard as she could not the scream the place down.

What was only a minute felt like a bliss-filled eternity, the three of them felt like they were floating on a cloud made of pure pleasure and fluffy love.

Two Raptorians and one human lost together in a love so profound that it embraced them like a silken web and suddenly Vessa saw it clearly, this was not a battle or a war, this was peace.

The three of them lay there panting and after finally releasing Thomas's maleness from her greedy little mouth Vessa tucked it back into his undersuit and zipped him back up, she also felt her body finally relax enough for him to withdraw his fingers from her though when they slipped out she felt and emptiness that she now knew was for him, these voids were his to fill, it was up to him and him alone to complete her and her sisters now.

Both Vessa and Tezz seemed to recover enough to crawl themselves back up and into their male's big strong human arms, they revelled in the safety that they felt in them wrapping around them to hold them tightly against his much larger body, though there was a strangeness to that.

As proud Raptorian females it was supposed to be their job to surround their pride male in safety and love, not the other way around, but she could not deny how safe and happy she felt in his arms and by the blissful look on Tezz's young face it was obvious that she felt exactly the same as she did.

Vessa looked up and saw Thomas looking down at her smiling warmly.

"Equal in all things my little loves, equal in all things," he said softly and finally she understood, this was the way of the Clan, it was the core of what they believed in, they were all equals in love and life with no-one more important than anyone else and all having their place and role.

The Clan's beliefs fit the Raptorian way so perfectly it was as if the Great Tree in her infinite wisdom had engineered it to be so, to bring beautiful alien males into the loving arms of open-minded prides and have them love them regardless of the differences between them, to have these beautiful aliens show them a truth so pure that it transcended species and even the vastness of the great ocean of black.

As she drifted off to sleep with her head nestled in the crook of his neck Vessa swore on the very fibre of her soul that she would not let the blessing of the Great Tree be wasted on her and her sisters, they would defend and protect this beautiful male that she had placed in their path to love and care for them, now and always.

The pride all awoke in the morning feeling refreshed with their three other sisters blissfully unaware of the trio's late-night activities, but Vessa swore to herself that when the next chance was given to them to find joy and bliss in their male's arms not one of them would be excluded from his joy and she did feel bad that they had missed out, though by the knowing grin that seemed to be plastered on Ziva's mandibles as she looked at the three of them the massive Yautja huntress truly did not miss a trick.

So finally with Thomas now taking the gunner's seat on one of their MK5s though much to Beta Pride's shock and surprise that Alpha pride would allow their pride male out into the open to face danger like this, the group readied themselves for the dangers of the forests, it was time to see exactly what ghosts were hiding in these alien trees.
