Predator: Start of something new

The Free Fall

Falling through the sky. Jack looks at the plane, the engine smoking. The plane falling. Slasher had killed all the others left inside. Something jumps from the plane, it falls like a dart. It appears. Green with a strange mask, the mark of Bloodshed on it's mask. Holding a katana behind it. The plasma caster having a hint of red, the rest gray. It moves quickly through the air. It stabs one of the members in the back. Even while falling it still has precise aim. Slasher is like Bloodshed, but he's green, and he's more skilled with a blade.

Jack gains control of the fall, he puts his head down, his legs and arms behind him like a dart. His body cuts through wind, gaining distance between him and the monster that had destroyed the plane. Slasher looks at Jack, realizing that the fall would kill a Yautja. Slasher's good with a blade, but his bravery out weighs his smarts. Slasher looks at his wrist, he starts pressing on it. He looks back to Jack, and starts to move toward him. Slasher's wrist beeping yellow, he gets closer every second. Jack grabs his gun, hard to move in the air.

The gun aimed at Slasher, he fires, but Slasher disappears with a flash of yellow. Jack looks back to the ground, it's not far. The others falling near him. Drop together or die alone. Jack opens his parachute in time, his speed starts to slow. He falls through the trees. The trees tall and large, the leaves spreading in his path. He puts his hands out to keep branches from hitting him. The team falling too. He closes his eyes, and when he opens them. He's dangling from the tree. The parachute snagged on a branch, he nervously laughs. He survived.

A smell of fire, burning. Jack looks up to see the plane in flames. It hits the ground with a loud explosion. The fire burning high. He hears the leaves. Another person is landing, screaming. The other team members must have been terrified from the encounter with that Yautja. "What the hell was that thing!" he hears. Still dangling from the tree. He grabs his knife and cuts the rope, he falls to the ground. It's much higher than he had thought. He lands with a crunch, luckily it wasn't him. He had landed on a branch, it hurt like hell.

Hell is a overstatement. You don't know hell until you meet Bloodshed. If there was one Yautja, and it wasn't Bloodshed. that could mean there's more out there. One things for sure, they won't leave this planet alive.

The ship hovering in the exosphere had a flash of yellow inside the main room. Slasher appears, and Bloodshed stands. He stands from his throne, the one they built for him. The one built for a king. Slasher moves closer to Bloodshed. Bloodshed raises one hand to tell him to stop. Slasher presses a button on his wrist. A hologram appears. A red hologram.

A map of the jungle. Bloodshed makes a swift movement forward grabbing Slasher's neck. Bloodshed raises Slasher up higher, choking him. Slasher grabs Bloodsheds hands trying to make him let go, but Bloodshed lifts him higher. He clicks commands and drops Slasher down. Slasher falls to his knees, gasping for breath. Bloodshed looks down at him, and clicks again. Growling at Slasher. He had failed, and nothing but victory goes without a consequence. Bloodshed sits down once again, the map had made him remember. It made him remember what had happened, his mask destroyed. An enemy had won against him. Ghost.

He had ordered one of the Yautja to fix it, but to leave a scar on it. A scar to remind him, so he never forgets that the human race is worth hunting. It shouldn't be long until his mask is fixed, the scar left will be the place that the human had shot it. The place that he couldn't loose. A rebreathing in the front of his mask. Bloodshed had no breathing problems, but the rebreathing changes the air. It makes it deadly. Deadly to show that Bloodshed is superior. It makes him angry, it shows his anger. He's deadly.

The mark of blood on his mask will be gone, but replaced by a unforgettable memory. His clan will still have the mark. He treats them terribly, but they are loyal. If they even think about betraying him, there will be bloodshed, and Bloodshed will be on top. The Fallen Clan would be no more, he would make a new clan. They're all replaceable, Slasher was trained. Any other can be trained as well. That's why he uses bad bloods, they don't follow the honor code, and they always come back. Come back cowering before Bloodshed's throne. They'll all die someday.

and when they do, Bloodshed will be the reason.

Jack and the team meet together, they all seem confident, but Jack knows that they'll all die. If there are more of those things out there. They have no chance. If Owen were here he'd lead them. He'd lead them to victory, but he's not. Owen is dead, and Jack will have to think for himself. He can't rely on everybody else all the time, not when they're here. A place where the Yautja will come for them, a place where they aren't safe. Where nobody in the world is safe.

They need a plan, one that'll lead them to victory. A plan that Owen would make, one that Owen would be proud of. The team starts to discuss what had happened. How long will it take for somebody to come looking for them, IF somebody comes to look. By the time somebody comes to look they'd be dead. They can't hold against a Yautja for long, they'd need to kill it. Not wait for reinforcements. This is a dangerous job, but an even more dangerous one to try and protect themself. Jack will lead, he'll lead like Owen would lead. Lead by example.

Jack yells over all the members of the team, they grow quite. "We can't just wait here, it's too dangerous. If we split up they'll pick us off, one by one. We stay together, and we kill the Yautja."
If the plan fails they're doomed, but without it. They're good as dead.
