If I Went Somewhere Else

Blue Gem| The Predator. Part 12

*   *   *   *

The Mega Predator aimed at the humans as they began to run up the hill, his wrist gauntlet firing a shot just ahead of Matt and downing a tree in front of them. The humans ducked for cover behind the fallen tree as the Predator came trudging up the hill, Sky took out her handgun and turned the safety off. Both her and Matt rose from the tree as the beast roared, it's mandibles flared angrily. Matt took the first shot and shot one of his mandibles clean off, Sky followed up and shot another right off. Glowing blood spurted from his wounds as he attempted to cover them.

Matt was refilling his weapon as Sky was ready to switch magazine cartridges, the Mega Predator leapt into the air and landed right behind them. The beast grabbed Matt and threw him 20 feet away, Sky quickly changed out the cartridge and fired at the Mega Predator. He whipped to face her and grabbed her by the arm, lifting her off the ground and throwing her into the trees beside him. She grunted as she hit a tree and fell into the dirt, the brute leaving the human boy to deal with his father.

As the alien approached the man, he was ready to kill him with a shot of his wrist gauntlet. Then from atop a short cliff, Casey uncloaked and jumped onto the Mega Predator. She began pulling on his dreadlocks and firing her gun, but the Predator managed to shake her off and send her to the ground. The creature began stumbling backwards, holding his eye as Matt then pushed himself into the beast. It sent both him and the alien over the edge with a loud roar, the Assassin then slammed into his crashed ship.

But Sky was behind him in her xenomorph form, she decloaked and swing her bladed tail at his arm, cutting it clean off. The Mega Predator growled in pain and looked at his severed arm, seeing her behind him and grabbing her by the throat. She yelped as he lifted her off the ground, clawing at his arm leaving deep gashes. He roared as he was about to throw her.

But then 2 blades pierced his right eye, he roared in agony and dropped Sky as she changed back to a human.

Something just shot the Mega Predator, I saw 2 familiar looking blades protruding from his eye. Then a familiar roar bellowed from the trees, along with the sound of heavy footsteps running our way. Another Predator launched from a cliff and used it's shoulder gun to fire at the Mega Predator. But this wasn't any other Predator...I recognized the bio mask all too well. I felt my heart light up.

"Fugi!!!" I say gleefully.

Fugi roared as the Mega Predator had leapt back onto the higher cliff, my Predator came and to help me up.

"You're okay! I thought you were dead!" I said to him.

"Of course I'm not dead. What, you think the brute slamming me into a tree was going to kill me?" Fugi said as he helped me up.

"Well, when I saw your blood splatter against it, yes! Don't you EVER scare me like that again!" I punched him in the arm.

He chuckled as he rubbed his arm. I noticed Matt picking up the Mega Predators severed arm and placing a strange device on the wristblades, it looked like an alien grenade. Oh boy. Matt yelled something to Casey and she pushed some button on some device, a beeping ensued and Matt shot the wristblades into the Mega Predators leg. The Assassin roared as the blades penetrated his lower leg, then an explosion occurred.

Fugi and I ducked for cover as we were pretty close to the blast, once it had cleared, we heard a loud thud against the ground. We look and see the Mega Predator laying on the ground, bleeding and limbless. How does an explosion take away only his arms and legs?? Logic. Fugi and I along with Matt, Rory and Casey approach the downed alien.

"Not so tough NOW, are you?" I sneered.

Fugi went and took his wristblades out of the Assassins eye, causing the brute to flinch and more fluorescent blood to flow. The Mega Predator was softly saying something in his native language, Matt then pulled out his giant handgun from earlier and aimed it.
