Science Fiction

The

Predator

Marshall Mason

"This piece was inspired by my passion to draw and write about the Predator movies.  These two chapters are a fan fiction based on what happens after the Alien v.s. Predator Requiem movie.

This story takes place after Colorado is blown up by the government, and a Predalien is on the loose with a whole Xenomorph army with it.  There is one Predator that can save earth from destruction and a take over from the Xenomorphs"

Chapter 1

I woke up not feeling right wondering if I’m dead or still alive. I felt my chest where the chest burster had been but it was healed,though, no stitches. I started to think that the pyramid, the girl, and the hunt, was just a figment of my imagination or just a dream. I leaned up and felt no pain of broken bones. I changed my sight to ex-ray and saw only part of my rib cage. Then, I changed it again to thermal to see that my bones had been replaced with Xenomorph fingers. I looked around to see that I was still on general’s ship. I thought about my dream or vision again remembering how those Xenomorphs killed my brothers. I got up and looked out the window to see that the dream was real and that we were still next to earth.

Chapter 3

My pod landed on Antarctica’s hard ice. I got out of the pod and looked back to see that my pod left a big crack in the ice. I looked around and the place looked just the same when I left the first time. I had a flashback of when I was in that pyramid. I thought of my ancestors that were brave enough to even participate in the hunt, and my brothers and I were some of them. I turned on my cloaking device and got back in the pod. While the pod was getting higher in the sky, I looked at my calculations to see where the other pod had landed. I got a signal and saw that it landed in Colorado. My pod took me there and I landed next the other pod that landed here before. I walked towards the alien town. As they call themselves, humans. The general, technically my dad, said that humans are weak minded, scream a lot, mo---- well, general hasn’t taught me that word yet, all he told me is that every human he’s encountered has said that he is one. All there was to see in this deserted town, was a blanket of ash that covered the whole town. Even though it was night the smoke rose so it made it even darker. I climbed up a building and everything was just black.

I turned on my thermal heat signature and saw that there were no people here. As I jumped from building to building, I started to hear some noises. I stopped and calculated that it was a human. It wasn’t talking like a normal human though, with how they pronounce words. I looked around and got a heat signature. I went towards it but it was only a child. I got down in front of it and turned off my cloaking device. On the inside of my mask I learned how to speak human words and said, “Everything will be alright.”

The kid started to scream so I turned on my cloaking device, grabbed the kid, climbed up a building, and ran towards the hospital. When I got there, there was a heat signature bigger than I’ve ever seen. I was walking towards the people and when they saw the kid they were screaming louder than banshees. You see, the thing is that our cloaking devices aren’t fully invisible, they leave a blurry outline of where we are, but we’re still pretty hard to see. Then, people came out of the hospital with guns, tanks came, and soon enough I was surrounded. I just smiled to myself and said, “I haven’t had this much fun since I lived in the jungle.”

The tank shot at me and I spun around as I got out my hand blade and cut the bullet in half without it exploding. I turned off my cloaking device and everyone gasped. I pulled out my plasma gaster and the military men shouted, “Put down the gun!” I didn’t listen to them and I hooked it on my left shoulder. “FIRE!” I jumped in the air and started to shoot the tanks with the surge that came from the plasma gaster. Then, I pulled out my spear and started turning the people into kabobs. I threw a bomb into the tank as there was a large explosion sending men flying. I pulled out my shuriken and threw it at all of the guns as all of the tips got cut off. A light shined on me and I looked up to see a chopper getting ready to open fire. I shot out a net right at the propeller as the chopper went twirling down.

Then, I saw a woman come running to the seen. I said out loud, “Alexa?” She looked confused then had a sudden look of realization in her eyes. I got shot right in the arm as I dropped the spear. I looked around but saw no one. Alexa came closer to me but I got shot again. Falling to the ash covered ground, I looked up and a heat signature appear, as a man covered in cold mud said, “You’re not going to blow up on me again,” then knocked me out.
