The humans and stray alien had landed in a clearing quite close to where the boy supposedly was. The Predator assisted Sky out of the vehicle.

"Fugi, the painkillers began to take effect. You don't have to help me for now." She said.

He nodded, but stayed close to her as they began walking into the thick forest ahead.

"What painkillers?" Nebraska asked.

"Eh, just for soreness. I'm supposed to take them if the pain gets too intense." She said, which was true.

*    *    *    *

We walked for what seemed like miles, which it probably was because we had to land a few kilometers away to avoid being spotted. Fugi and I were further behind the group as he would not leave my side, despite me not feeling any pain anymore. For some reason, the map that Rory was drawing back in the RV crossed my mind. Like its really important. He says it was just out of boredom, but now...I'm starting to think it's something more.

"Hey Fugi, remember back in the RV where Rory was drawing a map?" I whisper to him.

"I heard him say so, yes. Why do you ask?" He whispered.

"I don't know why, but I feel like he wasn't drawing it out of boredom...I think there's something more to what he was doing." I say.

Fugi suddenly stopped, as if he realized something. I almost ran into him he stopped so fast.

"The ship I stole from the Assassin, it had crashed somewhere. The boy must've figured out the coordinates with the technology that I assume that 'Matt' had stolen from me. They took the child to the crashed ship." Fugi said.

My eyes widen, "What?! You're saying that a 12 year old boy figured out alien technology and found a crashed ship, which you stole from the guy trying to kill you?!"

Fugi nodded as he then began to pick up the pace. He ran past the others and startled them, I ran past them to catch up with the Predator as he ran much faster than a regular human.

"Fugi wait!" I exclaimed.

Fugi did not listen as he continued to run further away, but he eventually screeched to a halt at a cliff covered in bushes. I caught up to him as he kneeled down behind the bushes, I was about to say something when he have the 'Shhh' finger and gestured me to kneel. I kneeled down, a feeling of anxiety washed over me. The alien looked over the bushes, pointing down into an embarrassment of a canyon. I peeked over the bushes, and there it was.

The crashed alien ship. Military vehicles surrounded the vessel and had up electric fences around the vehicles, wow talk about overdone. Who's gonna randomly waltz into a canyon? Oh wait, I secretly smirk. But then I see the small boy along with the black man from the loft, he practically dragged Rory towards the spaceship. I clenched a fist as I saw him being pushed up to the front door.

"Fugi we need to do something." I say.

"Yes, I know. Take this." Fugi offered a small silver ball.

I look in between him and the silver ball.

"Uh...?" I awkwardly took it.

"It's a cloaking device, one of my several." He took out another.

"And how do I use it?" I ask.

"Simple, give a slight amount of pressure and the camouflage will activate. The same for when you want to become visible again." Fugi explained as he cloaked.

I look at the cloaking device in my hand, sighed then slightly squeezed the device. The next thing I knew, I was invisible. WHOAAAAA!!!! Now this will be a GREAT thing to use against the cons! Fugi then stood up and began walking down a slope that was only inches from us, I got up and followed him. Thankfully it wasn't too steep or we would've fallen to our deaths.

"Follow my lead, and they won't be able to see us from certain angles." Fugi whispered.

"Alright." I whisper back.

Okay like, am I a madman? Here I am, a complete novice, following a Predator while cloaked into a heavily guarded military area? Yeah I'd call that insane. Fugi and I cautiously walked around a few military guards as they were completely oblivious. Halfway to the crashed vessel when we heard the doorway to the ship hiss open, Rory stood next to the keypad. Damn kid, you're pretty damn smart.

Fugi and me were at the bottom of the ramp to the entrance when Rory and the black man walked into the ship, we walked in after them. This would be considered my second time inside a crashed spaceship, very cool. Only, this ship was nothing like the one back in Transformers. This one is very smoothly done and not all jagged with pieces of metal poking out everywhere. As the ship wasn't very big, we saw right into the main area.

"Hook up to the main control panel, I want everything that runaway Predator has and translate it. Who knows where that beast could be..." the black man said, I'm gonna call him Jerry.

Fugi looked towards me as Jerry had said that, quietly chuckling. Oh if only those idiots knew. A guard that was with them put a finger to his ear, com link. He then looked to Jerry and Rory.

"There's been a breach." He said.

"That's my dad, he's gonna come save me now." Rory said in the most "You are so screwed" tone of voice.

Wow, I love this kid! I need to say stuff in that tone.

"Oh is he? Well if it is your daddy, and I'm truly hoping it is, he's gotta be just about the dumbest motherfucker I've ever met. An ex sniper tripping a perimeter sensor? He's gotta be...creating a diversion." The moron came to his senses.

Rory looked towards Fugi and I, a slight smile upon his face. And little did he know, his dad was now in the room. I saw him come in, he was cloaked as well and was headed right for Jerry. Fugi and me just stood back as we both knew that Matt was pissed at them taking his child. Oh God help them! The worst thing to do is get in between a parent and their child.

Jerry was then hit with a punch straight to the jaw, sending him to the floor. Matt uncloaked, he was holding a tranquilizer gun. Me and Fugi uncloak also, scaring the shit out of the guard we stood behind. The ex sniper aimed the tranq gun at the guard, who only scoffed.

"What, you gonna kill me with a tranq gun?" The guard asked with a smirk.

"Well you took my boy, so yeah." He fired the dart into the guards eye, the man immediately went limp.

I walked past the now dead guard and up to Rory with a small smile.

"Hey kid, you Okay?" I ask.

Rory nods as his dad hugged him, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Jerry looked and noticed Fugi and me, I saw him get up and look in between the two of us. He then reached for his walkie talkie, but I quickly ran up and snatched it out of his hand. I threw it at the wall as hard as I could, it smashed into a million pieces as I turned back to Jerry. Fugi crossed his arms as he stood beside me.

"You're the one who took this boy, right?" I ask innocently.

"Maybe I-" I didn't even let him finish his sentence before I punched him as hard as I could in the nose with my left hand.

He grabbed his now bloodied up nose as I saw blood on my knuckles, I shook my hand to get the majority of it off. Matt and Rory looked at me with that 'Oh shit! Nice!' kind of look, Fugi patted my shoulder like a father would a son when the son made something for him.

"That was for taking an innocent child." I said aggressively.

"You fucking bitch!" He went to strike me.

But Fugi got in between him and I, removing his mask and roaring at the small man before him with his mandibles at full extension. He grabbed Jerry by the throat and pulled him so he was in his face, fear in the man's brown eyes.

"If you DARE to touch my ooman, I will rip your vertebrae out of your body and use it as a belt. Do you understand me?" Fugi said darkly.

Jerry nodded so quick I thought his head would fall off, Matt and Rory stared at Fugi as this was the first time he'd used his translator around the others. Also hold up wait, did he just call me his human?? The Predator released his grip on the black man as Matt then took over.

"Come on man, don't be difficult. Nobody's gotta die." He held a handgun to Jerry's head.

"Uh Dad?" Rory pointed to the guard upon the floor with a tranq dart in his eye.

"Starting now." Matt continued to hold the gun to Jerry's head as he headed for the exit.

Rory followed behind his dad, Fugi went to follow but I grabbed his arm.

"Fugi?" I say.

He turned his head towards me, his emerald green eyes looking into mine.

"Yes?" He asks.

"Did you just call me your human? Or uh, ooman?" I ask.

Fugi paused for a moment before nodding, "Yes. Remember? I told you it is tradition for a Yautja to protect the lesser being who saved their life. Therefore, you are my ooman."

Oh okay, I thought he meant that in a 'This is my girlfriend' kind of way. I mean it sure sounded like it, or maybe it was just my mind going nuts with thoughts. Although I guess it makes sense, I have a Predator as my protector now. But unfortunately, I don't know if he'd be great protection against the Decepticons let alone this assassin. And I still need to encounter Assassin to get the blue gem! I nodded as we then headed for the exit, I took out my mom's handgun and kept my knife at my side.

Once we reached the exit, I heard Jerry's voice.

"If he doesn't release me at the count of ten, shoot the kids kneecaps out." He said loudly.

I looked to see several guns aimed at Rory, a growl escaped my throat as I walked down the ramp with my gun visible. Fugi came up beside me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Ah yes, shooting a kid. Very manly of you, very manly of you ALL!" I said loudly, and very sarcastically.

Jerry then began to count, but not a few seconds later we heard an agonizing scream from an upper cliff, and a flare be launched.
