*The conditions of the weather were getting worse, the sand was hitting hard like splintered wood, this however, just seemed to annoy the hunters even more, their roars became more audible over the howls of the great storm.
The first stage had been cleverly set. Iseijin had led the warrior aliens to the base of the mountain and had began their early second stage of the diversion, the time was ripe.
Pred killer had now joined the small hunting pack of quinn and katam who were being led by the mighty alpha alien. They had sat in the shadows of the empty caverns and watched as the hunters had fought to battle off the first wave of young drones that daveberg had sent into battle.
Xenomorph remains were littered across the top of the mountain side, pit holes and corroded rock lay everywhere from the noxious spill of acidic blood, it had been a relatively easy first wave of beasts that the hunters had faced, but now, the tide was about to turn....
Peeling from the roof of the cavern, daveberg stretched his deathly black exoskeleton to the limit as he arched just slightly out of the caverns final exit and gently scouted for the nearest threats. The king of the aliens quietly hissed as impulses fed through his mind giving him a visual outlay of where to strike first, some of the predsators were recovering and looked distracted, whilst further down, the powerful K20 and docter were still fending off small spurts of on coming drones. Now was a good a time as any.
Daveberg coiled back round into the cavern and snapped open his maw, firing his second jaws out aggressively - quinn, predkiller and katam knew what this meant, they all hissed unison, it was time to kill.
The massive hulking black monstrosity that was the alpha alien leapt out of the cavern and let out an ear piercing shriek - the first predator never knew what hit him. The hunters blood curdled at the sound of the beast, before he could spin and attack the last thing he saw was the terrifying shadow of something incredibly big behind him, for the first time, it had almost looked like the sun had been blotted out - daveberg snatched the young hunter in a crushing grip and sank his claws into the side of the predator. Lifting him into the air, the alpha alien sank his claws in deeper, and with a sickening CRUNCH! it appeared that daveberg had broken the hunters ribs. Dropping the feeble hunter like a sack of bricks, the hunter hit the floor face first, with that, quinn, katam and predkiller lunged out of the tunnel and began to feast on the incapacitated hunter..
The ambush had finally begun........*
