Black Warrior backtracked his steps. The yautja metal of his boots scraping quietly across the steel vent.
Taking a left down the long corridor, one he'd missed earlier, he found a vent leading to the outer edge of the ship. Looking below, there was the 2 marine females, and now, the marine holding the xeno at bay had joined them. They walked east, their footwear leaving deep impressions in the coarse sand. The sun had begun to fall oncemore, the heated rays of the ball of fire were dieing slowly, and the heat was morphing into a chilling cold. Soon night would be upon the planet...
When the trio were a good distance away, the warrior tensed. His muscles coiling with force, suddenly shot forward, nudging the vent. The force was light enough to pop it from its place, sending it floating down to the sand.
The creatures hulking form bounded with a leap to the ground below. Small particles of sand and debris lifted into the air, raining in a small shower around the silhouette of the Balatu warrior. This went unnoticed by the 3, and they walked on, unaware that they had a god of death watching their every move.
Atlast, they came into a darkening forest. A ways from the crash, but here it was, the trees towered above, thick trunks and scattered bark covering the line of vision. Black Warrior leaped into one of the trees, its thick branch surprisingly supporting his heavy frame. Various shades of blues, greens, yellows and reds scattered themselves across his visor in a large swoop. Thermal vision picked up 3 heat signatures. The invisible hunter leaped through the trees, concealing his location and keeping his place amongst the forest while stalking his prey.
three red lasers focused in the direction of the trio, with no plasma caster, its only function was to get a better view. With a sudden movement, one of the females took to the trees,
“RUN†the female grunted “NOWâ€Â
The 2 humans had begun to run as the woman tackled a foe. Zooming in through the trees, Black Warrior saw a spacecraft of yautja origin. He also saw a warrior of Hunter's Moon, by the name of Concrete Hunter. The female and Concrete began to battle.
Turning his mind away from the yautja and human, he looked at the 2 marines. They began to sprint, running blindly through the dense foliage and hanging branches of the trees. The forest was swallowing them whole, and soon they would be gone, no traces.
Black Warrior sprinted through the treetops, staying only a few feet behind the marines, but being above them. Through the rustling of the leaves and heavy breathing of the marines, a shout was heard.
"What is Shadow doing?!..Wait, i need to stay calm, she knows what she is doing, and she wants us to run...to get away from..."
the female marine said to her male companion, who appeared to be mute, as he simply used signals and opened his mouth without a word said. Before her sentence could be finished however, he words were cut short.
A resounding boom rang through the ears of the marines as a flurry of leaves rained down, and trees shook. Leaves and foliage hung in thick clumps seemingly in mid air. Two yellow flashes appeared, the beasts ghastly eyes revealed themselves to the prey.
The mute swiftly pulled his sidearm and let loose a clip of rounds. The bullets richocheted and blasted bark from trees, one bullet producing sparks as it grazed the metal of the invisible beast's mask. In an attempt to reload his gun, the magazine dislodged and hit the forest floor. Instantly the hunter was upon him. Black Warrior's massive black fingernails dug into the military issue uniform, lifting the marine from the ground and tossing him into the trunk of a surrounding tree.
The other marine, the female, shrieked. She had fallen backwards in the struggle, and was now mindlessly struggling for her own sidearm.
A overbearing pressure clamped around her throat. Nikki was struggling for breath as her slender form was lifted off the ground with ease. Electricity raced up in a humanoid figure, the creature stepped seemingly from the land itself out of invisibility and into the marines vision. The massive yautja stood 7'7" tall, greenish black armor plated the vitals of the creature and silver streaks followed randomly. Scars and injuries riddled both armor and body alike. The marine was now face to face with a God of Death, of one the fiercest set of hunters in the universe. A monstrous roar echoed throughout the surrounding area as Black Warrior challenged his prey, who was still furiously clawing at her holster.
The scaley hand had a grip of death, and the thumb of the monster rotated the marines head. Hanging by the neck, a dogtag fell from its place.
The name read...."Nikkie Murray, Alpha Draconis"
