~ It was the end game. And now was the time to step up to the plate.
Shadowblade squinted his eyes, it was dark in these caverns. There! He saw it. His battered spear gun lay on the floor, about 20 yards in front of him. If predators could smile, then the rogue would have a grin from mandible to mandible. He knew Stalker and the Doc assumed he was out of weapons. Good, that's exactly what he wanted.
Steadying himself, Shadowblade got to his feet, and then began to cackle at the Gods of Death. With vivid green blood dripping from his mouth shadowblade spat, 'Is...that..the ...best... YOU CAN DO!?!'
A huge roar left the Yautjas mouth, nothing but evil intent in his eyes. 'K20 robbed me of my glory, now i will rob him of his clansman!'
With that, the rogue elevated into the air. Stalker knew what Shadowblade was going for and leapt into the air too, his neck wound spraying out droplets of blood across the cavern. In a fluid motion, Shadowblade spun 180 and connected a savage elbow to Stalkers chest, knocking the wind out of him. As the Rogue landed, Doc heard his clawed feet, Senses working in over drive, the Elder of Balatu struck out, wristblades slicing across the mighty rogues' thigh.
Blood sprayed out over the Doc as he drew back his wrist blades 'That should make things even know, you traitor!'
Shadowblade growled, Clutching his leg in pain, with the other arm he lashed out and slammed a fist into the Side of Docs head, making him stumble back.
In a blur, Stalker lunged forward, tackling down the Rogue to the floor from behind, Doc heard a rib break on impact with his heightened senses. Shadowblade grunted as Stalker slammed down onto him as the both hit the floor. With that, Stalker grabbed the rogues dreadlocks and drew a shuriken.
'I told you it didn't have to be this way, Shadowblade. All Balatu wanted was your alliance and friendship, you were our most feared warrior next to K20, but you threw it all away. Time to give it up' Stalker raised the glimmering blade, Hands shaking at the prospect of killing one of the most legendary hunters the yauja had ever known 'DO IT!' Screamed the Doctor.
Too late. Shadowblade grabbed Stalker by the throat and totally man handled the younger hunter, wrenching him to the side and getting behind him, Shadowblade held Stalker in a lock, and pulled his final suprise.
Doc could hear the rogue take something from his belt, Stalkers eyes widened as he saw the dull gleam of a shiv, a shiv made from an alien tail, being held to his throat.
'what's he got Stalker?, talk to me!' Doc was alarmed and waited for a response.
Shadowblade tightened his lock on Stalker and smiled as he lightly dug the dirty shiv into the hunters skin. 'i'd recommend you'd start reading Stalkers' last rights, Doctor, my old old friend.'
Doctor ground his mandibles together, what could he do? Wait. He could hear something. Something unfurling from above. Something...BIG. Doc froze to the spot and listened with horror.......
