FOR THE HIVE!!!!!!!MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

*The heat was stifling on the surface of ZX2, the towering burning out sun loomed over the small planetoid casting eerie shadows over black sinewy mold like abstractions that were littered across the landscape, it was hard to believe there used to be a settlement of human life here. The only thing that stood out now was the huge organic/mechanical abomination in the far distance, the slimey like secretions covered the old space shuttle hanger like a tight fitted glove, small sections of the large hanger bays could still be seen, parts of old shuttles jutted out here and there with the viscous fluid dripping from them like leaking taps, to look at this place was like looking into the eyes of a bad dream, it was un-human, it was...alien.

The inside was attrociously hot, covered from floor to ceiling, this..HIVE was covered in the sickening black web like material, stringing up row upon row of putrified dead humans on the wall like some kind of gallery of death. In the main hanger bay the floor seemed to have been totally dug out, tunneling under ground it would seem into a large chamber. Deeper into the gloom, the shadows appeared to be alive, movement danced across the shallow lighting of the massive underground chamber, the beasts that had ravaged ZX2 all those years ago began to writhe with life, the sound of dripping slime and chitinous bodies crawling along walls could be heard, that is untill, the chamber shook, shook with the thunder of a primal scream, the wall seemed to come alive as a hulking figure, towering over her brood slipped from out of the darkness. The queen had awoken. By her side, a battle scared warrior alien, wounds telling tales of many wars, the alien crawled forward and seemed to adress the rest of the dreaded monstrosities before it. Looking down at her children, the queen again let out a pitched shriek.....*

For Blood And Death My Brothers And Sisters

Quinn heared Daves call to arms and left Brentopias side, he aproached he looked at Dave and then to the ridge. Dave roared and Quinn ran into the open directly at the Predators but then the sand storm approached and right before he is shot by K20 the sand engulfs him. he is going to kill some unbloods to get K20 angry, so he sneaks by and heads to the drop pods.

"Tis time the B!tch Is Back"

*Daveberg had seen enough. His battered exoskeleton clicked as tendons and bone stretched into place whilst the mighty creature rose to his feet. The alpha alien stood at full height, lifted his glistening pitted head into the air and let out a chilling shrill hiss, it was time to take their hosts.

Debris and dust flew everywhere as the hideous monster leapt from his resting place, wounds still leaking with the noxious acid. The ground almost should under the weight of the huge beast as he landed in front of the two predators, crouched and ready to attack. AVPFREAK, dronewarrior and lsejin stepped aside, their leader now back amoung them.

Docter and K20 looked anxiously at eachother then both stood arm to arm, they knew this was the test, the one battle that would claim glory or death. Both hunters roared at the massive terror that was daveberg.

K20 pulled a shuriken whilst docter followed suite and pulled a smart disk. Too little, too late.

Daveberg was on them - leaping through the air in a blur of spittle and teeth, the alpha alien extended his body, clasping onto docter tearing fresh chunks from his body whilst wrapping his tail arund K20's neck and tackling both to the ground like paperweights. The hunters hit the ground hard, and like that, the alpha alien was on them again, with his tail still firmly wrapped around K20's neck, daveberg reached out slashed docters face mask with his talons sending hot sparks showering in the air. This was going to be the end. Daveberg shrieked out for his warriors to join him, but something over shadowed even his war cry.

A belowing howl from deep withing the old hanger bay that was now the HIVE, reverberated around the whole area. Imiediately, all four aliens stopped their onslaught and look up at eachother. It was the queen. She was in danger.

Knowing what to do, daveberg nodded his torn carcus toward the direction of the queen, letting go of his iron grip on K20. There were more pressing matters to attend to. In a flurry of limbs, the alpha alien, AVPFREAK, dronewarrior and lseijin scurried away to their queen.

Angered, K20 and docter launched a barrage of plasma shots at the aliens to send them off, blasting craters in the rock face which opened into even more chambers within the mountain.....*

katam leaps on top of TD wrestling across the moutain floor TD slashes hard against the aliens mouth ripping through his second jaw, grabbing the back of the aliens head slamming it hard against the floor stoppin acid from covering him self TD pulls back his arm blade and strikes down hard on the neck slicing through taking of his head, TD slow crawls away from the aleins acid burnt body reachiung for his medic kit to try and save his leg

(katam good man u fight like a true warrior ur head will now be placed within my trophy room)

TD watches the eager young impressed with there determination of capturing the queen readying them seleves for what is going to prove there chance to be crownd the greatest hunters in space, arming himselve up watching each pod fly down to there mission TD steps into his own pod metaly laughing at those about to die is hunt, smashing down hard on the planets surface the pod is opened and out steps a mighty warrior armed to the teeth a quik vision scan is donw to watch any on coming trophys

K20 awoke from his meditation, he knew they had arrived at the planet his warriors pods had already left for the planets surface...the great hunter left his meditation chamber and prepared himself...taking his most savage and brutal weapons. Wearing his ancient armor and his battle scared mask K20 starts to make his way to the pods. As p the Predators remaining on board salute him and bow to him...then they start to beat their chests with their fists, as he draws nearer to the pod the beating pace increases and then they start to make low hisses and growls...this is the finest farewell on a hunt K20 has ever recieved...before boarding his pod K20 turns to his clansmen and bows to them show his respect for them honoring him...Making his clicking noise he enters his personal pod...and with that it speeds to the surface of the planet...as his pod shoots through the clouds of the planet a storm has gathered seemingly knowing they arrived and lettinthing else around know of their arrival...lightning struck the ground repeatively all around the pods and the shadowly figures that loomed near the pods...then a thunderous crash was heard and the warriors turned their head toward the sky...it was K20s pod...strike the ground with impressive force...a cloud of dust errupted around the pod...as the door opened K20 readied himself for his and his clans finest hour...as the dust fell to the ground a figure could be seen throught the dust...it was K20 the Elder of the clan Balatu...the air was thick and heavy, as the storm loomed overhead it set the tone for the battle behind K20 he could see the red sun signfying a bloody day and night ahead, sensing that Deathdrop and his clan was landing on the planets surface he knew this was a hunt of important signifcance...since his last hunt he had finally assended something he had been afraid to take for a millieum...now that he has he cannot deny the power inherent with being an Elder...letting out a monsterous roar...his ilk followed his lead and roar into the night...beating their chest the hunt has begun it is time and their enemies blood will run as rivers...but first the Unbloods must prove themselves...it is time...as he turns to his second in command the doctor, K20 nods and the doctor looks to the Unbloods signaling them to prepare for their hunt....

finally balatu clan would show their power finally they whould show their honor prove them selves worthy. they dark sky flushed around, the light of dying sun could bearly be seen if not at all the terrain crunched beneth their feet the carceses of the pods behind them they stuck together slowly moving along K20 and the doctor out a little in fornt of the rest of the clan. the barron wasteland they were traveling on was a good place to fight repeated lightning stikes hit the ground winds whistled through the other pods from the other clan started to open thunder crackeld through the air and a scretch could be heard in the distance this was hell a perfect battlefield for wat was to take place finally after centuries today was the day balatu would prove them selves


are you predator or prey?

ghola88 walked out of his drop pod seeing a already readied balatu clan in action he recognized the fermiliar doctor he growled and continued on the way. He walked across the barren land suddenly he saw something move a bull like creature ran out roaring. ghola88 growled fired his plasma caster at the beast but the beast dodged it. ghla88 roared and jumped on the bull slicing and dicing at its back. The bull shook ghola88 of, ghola88 growled and put his spear tru the belly of the great beast ghola88 snarled at the bull like creature, he took its skull and ran towards the hive hoping for more challenging prey.

Cerrata can feel his heart beating more menacingly by the second...It is not fear...Oh no, its anxiety! The sheer thought of being in a terrific and glory-promising hunt. Its like music to my ears, Cerrata lets out a small growl and chirps. Cerrata runs to his clan adressing the Elders. They nod towards him and Cerrata notices Ghola88 of hunters moon, they look at each other and Ghola88 nods approvingly. Cerrata walks ova and stands at the back of the clan. His anxiety is consuming him as he checks he has all his equipment. Its all there Cerrata thought. And looking towards what they were to be facing, though nobody can see it, Cerrata is grinning privately behind his hunting mask. Cerrata goes ova his gear again to check it is all working. Ghola88 is looking at him with his head lolled to the side, obviously it amuses him. Cerrata stops and calms himself with deep breaths and lets out a grunt to signal he is ready...Ready to prove himself.

K20 standing on a high ridge surveys the surrounding area...scanning with each vision mode he cant find a trace of any Xeno...He saw how Ghola88 quickly despatched the bull...he was impressed he hopes that Ghola88 watches himself and doesnt get in over his head...K20 has seen to many of his kin be it they were clansmen of his or not killed...it sends him into bloodlust adding him in battle but he desregards logical thought and attacks out of pure hatered and a hunger for blood...turning to his right K20 sees Topdogg preparing himself for the hunt...K20 then starts a scan for Shadowblade and his ilk...finding nothing yet K20 has his clan fan out and look for respected Xenos to prove themselves K20 and his two seconds in command (the doctor and PREDATOR) wait on the ridge scan for prey...nothing this is strange to K20 where are the Xenos and where are the Rogues...with that he lets out another roar into the hollow of the night...hoping to attract any prey towards him...watching as his warriors fan out and look for their own prey he is confident they will come back victourious...as more and more of Deathdrops clan arrives K20 moves on with his two most trust warriors closely following...lightning cracks and flashes arcoss the pale red sky...revealing whats in the darkest shadows...this would prove to aid the hunters...as the rain starts to beat down his dark black armor goes from a dull black to a shining darkness...his blades wet seem almost surreal to look at in the next as each bolt of lighning is reflected off his shining blades...it is time...time for the blood to be spilled...blood would stain the ground of his fallen prey

With the objective to capture the queen and with her mighty Alpha protecting her this would turn into quite the battle...K20 has heard of this Alpha how his hive is littered with the bones of many of his fallen comrades, it seems this Alpha will prove to be a worthy opponent. as the the light rain turns to sheets of rain he knows it wont be long before the Xenos emerge from there burrows and make their way to find anything to kill...no matter the Gods of Death cannot be beaten...we are death we walk with death...and nothing can stop the onslaught that is coming...the Gods of Death will slaughter anything in their way

the rain beats down, darkness surrounds no light ecxept that from the lightning. the battelfield is drenched with the water, the rain spits on to the doctor's mask scanning around there is not much life how could that bull creature have survived in this waste land he thourght to himself. he didnt like this if there was native life then where were they y was there just that one bull. perhaps it was in the hive, maybe it escaped, maybe there was a chest burster in side it, it was very unclear. a lightning bolt hit the ground lighting up the battlefield but still nothing, where were they. more hunters arrived the doctor could still see the the bulls carcuss ripped to pieces. then a piercing shriek


are you predator or prey?
http://huntinground.tripod.com/

Cerrata hears the shriek...Within seconds it had amounted to multiple shrieks. Tehy were coming form in fornt of us. Cerrata pulls out his combistick and extends it...He is itching with anxiety. Lightning flashed across the battlefield once again and still nothing...Is this a game?? Cerrata thought. where are they...Obviously they are not in a hurry to die. Cerrata grips his combistick tightly and breaths in deeply and lets out an almighty roar, it is annoyance at the enemy's coy. suddenly a hand is upon my shoulder and it is ghola88, he spins me and points towards a hill where the rest of teh clan were facing... Lightning is striking even more fiercely and the rain is getting heavier...The shrieks sound once again. Cerrata is calm, Cerrata is ready. Without warning K20 lets out a roar also and points towards the top of the ridge... a silohuette atop of it...It let out a shriek and disappered from sight. I noticed one of the Unbloods moving forwards when Doctor grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back...Must be some sor tof trap i thougt. I gripped my combistick tighter, and checked my xeno-vision...Nothing.

the sun burning on pred killers head awakening him there infront of him was the queen shrieks a noise out all over the planet pred killer looked up at the queen and then looked around there was alll the hive looking around the planet and searching for food.pred killer got up and looked up at the burning sun heating the planet

"i am a killer, i am your fear"

The loan pred bold as brass walked straight up to the hive's entrance and walked in without a hint of fear. Deathdrop moved deeper into the hive and stopped, scanned the walls with all of his visors then uncloaked, Still hidden deep into the hives walls bug-hunt watched as the pred scanned around the moment had pasted for b-h to launch a quick strike and now the pred was getting out of reach of a leaped attack, so with that in mind b-h slowly moved out of the crevice he was hiding in and positioned him self for a leaped attack..........and struck leaping off of the wall bug-hunt flew towards Deathdrop with out stretched arms and leg's hitting the predator with full force on to his back. Rolling on the floor with the xeno still attached to him DD managed to get a hold of b-h head and keep his inner jaw away from his head. Rocks and dust blew up in to the air as the pair of hunters crashed into the hives wall, with a lucky kick and an unlucky stop for b-h dd managed to push the xeno away from him giving him the chance to lock on to the xeno with his cannon, the shoulder cannon moved with a humm of it's hydraulics a pivoted towards the xeno and fired! stumbling to his feet and hearing the sound of the cannon fire with a deafening bang b-h just dropped in time for the plasma bolt to miss him and hit the hives wall starting a rock full with inside the hive, managing just in time to look up and see a piece of the hives roof fall towards him, b-h let out a small cry that was almost instantly killed as most of the hives entrance collapsed on top of bug-hunt killing him and burying him in to a rocky grave. Dusting him self down deathdrop new there was no chance of a prize skull so continued to go deeper into the hive.

Listening to the many shrieks K20 is impress with Cerrata's cunning...yes indeed they are coming from the front...and they know we are here...that was a Xeno up on the ridge they are toying with us...this cannot be we are the hunters not the hunted...Roaring in fustration K20 with his incredible speed bounds up to the ridge and confrims nothing is there...scanning the terrian again...he zooms into a strange looking structure it has clearly been infested by the Xenomorphs. He can see flickers of movement they are preparing as well...signaling to his clan that they are preparing to attack...K20 notices footprints in the dusty ground...yes they are fresh it was indeed a Xeno they had seen...but was this a drone or their Alpha...the wind had ruined most of the print so it would be impossible to tell...clicking with delight K20...is most pleased...they are strong these Xenos are going to be hard to conquer but K20 and his clan could do it...closing his eyes as the rest of his Clan reaches the ridge where K20 is standing he can sense something, something evil, and terrible...it is the Queen...she is here this means that the Xenos will be even deadlier than they orginally thought...this should prove to be most exciting K20 says to his ilk...the swarm is coming it cannot be avoid...but with K20 comes death to all that oppose him...he lets out a monsterous roar...crosses his arms over his chest and extends his lendary wristblades out to their full glory...shining like a lighthouse in the red sun they appear to be on fire...Roaring again with all his might K20 is ready...just as fast as he reached the ridge he was off again with his clan in close tow...however somewhere having trouble keep up the pace...K20 knew they would not be far behind...apporaching the hive with impressive speed K20 looks behind and is amazed to see that the clan is still there...he has taught them well...and that training will pay off today with BLOOD AND HONOR...letting out another horrific roar K20 hopes the bugs hear him coming it is time death is coming...and he is the reaper...

Quinn was awoken by the shrill screams of the queen he instinctively ran to her side to protect her. But when he got there he saw that she was not in danger but summoning all her children before her. Quinn found he actually liked the intense heat on this planet though he and his HIVE could survive in any almost temperature, the heat gave him a certain comforting feeling. he could tell that somthing was about to happen, and it would be soon.

"The B!tch is Back"

The cry's and moans in the hive grew, unrest was all around something was not right! Woken by the unrest in the hive B-H uncoiled his tail and slowly lowered himself to the hive floor. A small shimmer of light reflected off of the veterans inner jaw as he let out a yawn. Slowly moving off towards the queen he past the other members of the hive who were also starting to stir some things not right here. Picking up the past he clambered over the remains of a couple of humans which were long in decay and entered a huge cavern which was home to the queen, even the facehuggers in side the eggs began to stir thousands of the eggs lined the floor, and there she was partially hidden in the steam from the heat of the hive her majesty lay, pumping out egg after egg. The queens chamber was a hive of activity as her warriors began to flood into her hive and the drones carried on working picking up a new egg and placing it carefully down in a new position within the hive, just waiting to be awoken with the prospect of there being a new host and judging by the movement of the other eggs something was moving on the surface.
Moving towards the queen a young drone stumbled in front of bug-hunt's way and crashed in to him, with a snap of his inner jaw and a high pitched hiss b-h put the young would be back in his place, as the young drone bowed his head and slowly moved back out of his way. Meeting up with the other warrior leader b-h went to see what the queen want's her children to do.
