Chapter 4

You are late.

A message in red hieroglyphs appeared on his wrist gauntlet the moment he stepped out from the ship. He growled as he quickened his pace. He had spent the majority of his time in the training room on board his ship, but the female kept pestering him, he was pleased to get away from her and eager to join the hunt.

Gahtan had complaint about his late arrival but Bau'jah quickly diverted his attention. They were stalking a large male bearlike beast surrounded by two females, the plan was to kill the beast and let the females live. The male was big, thick furs with sharp long claws and teeth, mass muscles demonstrated the alpha status, it would be tricky as both females would attack as well. A perfect prey.

"First one delivers the fatal blow earns the skull." Gahtan whispered to his brother.

"Be ready." Bau'jah trilled in excitement as he reached his combistick.

All three beasts came at them at once, Bau'jah ducked the female's claw and gave it a solid punch in the torso, this earned him a minute to focus on the male. Gahtan already drew first blood from the beast, he dashed in to push the male beast away, the roars of the creatures sent pure thrill into his veins. He roared back as he charged in. These creatures were incredibly agile and fast, after a couple of rounds of restraining the females and attacking the male at the same time - his brother Gahtan slashed the male's throat with his sharp clawed hand. The females ran when their male fell. Bau'jah growled as he yanked his spear out of the creature's arm.

"Nice trophy for my wall." The green Yautja Gahtan purred proudly as he decapitated the beast.

"Indeed, brother. Next time, I shall be victorious." Bau'jah crouched to sever the claws and fastened them to his netting.

Ray was so bored she did a couple miles of run inside the ship and relaxed herself in the observatory, she was covered in sweat. Looking out, there was nothing outside but trees and plants, she sighed in loneliness.

A loud thumping broke her muse, she could feel the floor trembling beneath her feet. She quickly moved to the exit near the bridge.

Red was back but covered with the blue substance, she noticed the huge claws fastened around his waist, and a ghastly gash on his right chest, leaking out luminescent green blood.

"Oh my god, are you hurt?" Ray asked in concern as she ran up to him.

She was on an alien ship and had no clue where she was nor how to operate this ship, if he died that meant she was also doomed, she realized how much she relied on him now.

"Red, you are bleeding, are you ok?" She asked again.

"Stop insulting me, female." Bau'jah snarled, he found her question offensive. As an elite hunter, how dare she question his skills!

Wait...what did I do? Ray was totally lost at his outburst but still followed him into the weapons room, she watched him placing the claws on a metal slab and began to clean it. He used a laser emitter device to remove its furs, and once the creature's skin was exposed he reached another device to remove the gnarled skin with a perfect dexterity.

Ray pouted her mouth in disgust and then her eyes brightened.

"Red, can I use one of those...um... laser emitter thing? The one that you used to remove the fur?" She asked cautiously.

Red moved his gaze up from his task and stared at her. She knew he was waiting for an explanation from her.

"Uh...hm," She cleared her throat before continuing, "I-I need to shave." Her voice came out almost inaudible.
