I pulled out my trusty LED flashlight to take a better look at where I was walking, that way I don't trip on any tree roots. Okay, the looks on everyone's face when I felt that the ship Fugi stole blew up was PRICELESS! They looked like they had just seen a ghost and it was pretty funny, even FUGI looked surprised and he knew I could feel others emotions. But maybe not tragic events.

Crickets filled the eerie silence as the only other sound that could be heard was our movement through the brush, and I'm honestly quite terrified. Matt said he had a plan that would kill the Assassin with c4, but I genuinely don't think it will work as well as he thinks. This Predator is different to say the LEAST, he's fucking bulletproof and blade proof! I was slowly beginning to feel my anxiety return, but Fugi stuck by my side.

The next thing I knew, one of Jerry's men yelled in surprise. I looked and saw that he was being pulled up into the tree with a thin rope around his ankle, everyone pointing their guns up into the tree. I pointed my flashlight up into the branches of the tree, and there it was. The Mega Predator was sinking his mandibles into the man's head, ripping it clean off and spitting it out, human blood covered his face and mandibles.

"Okay now that's just SICK!!" I said, completely disgusted.

He looked down at us all while I shone my flashlight into his eyes, his yellowish orange orbs had a look to kill. The Assassin looked down at me, those eyes piercing into me like daggers. Fugi picked me up and began to run as I could not stop staring, the Mega Predator roaring loudly as Fugi carried me to safety.

A few minutes later, we were all currently safe as of the moment as we left the Predator in the dust. Fugi set me down gently as I was just trying to comprehend the sight I just saw as we kept moving. As we continued headed through the forest, 2 of Matt's team had gone off to cause a distraction for the Mega Predator. Which is honestly a brave thing for them to do, knowing that they'll more than likely get killed.

Everyone each then took cover behind a tree for cover, Fugi and I hiding behind a huge tree that had to be at least 3 feet in diameter. A crow or something cawed along with the crickets as the silence continued, I looked at Fugi who was just putting his mask back on. He noticed me looking and prepared his shoulder gun.

"Fugi, wanna know something kinda amusing?" I whisper, hoping to lift the anxious mood.

"You think now is a time for jokes?" He whispers back, quite serious.

"No. But what's interesting is, this assassin is more terrifying than someone who wants me dead. And he's a giant robot." I say with a smirk.

Fugi made no response, then a scoff cane from him, "Interesting."

There was gunfire in the distance, along with a "HEY!!! ASSHOLE!!!" I pressed against Fugi as I felt really scared for them, he gently rubbed my back to calm me down a little. It did work, until there was then a blast in the same direction as the men along with more gunfire. I could hear trees being bent as I could assume the Mega Predator was travelling through them.

"ALIEN!!!!" They yelled as they cane running.

"They act like they've never seen an alien before." I whispered.

The men then took cover as well hiding behind a tree, silence ensues once again as the crickets made the only noise. Everyone was ready to fire upon the beast for when it was nearby, including myself as I had my mom's handgun. I'm not sure what it's gonna do against a bulletproof beast, but I guess we'll see!

* * * *

The humans were prepared for the creatures arrival, clicking and hissing could be heard nearby. Fugi kept himself in front of the girl like a shield, seeing the cloaked Predator entering the vicinity. It was making all sorts of strange noises as it looked around, the beast then laughed as it lifted it's wrist and 2 blades shot at one of the soldiers.

The soldier was diced to pieces in mere SECONDS, causing everyone to flinch. Sky clutched onto her Predators arm with a look of terror in her eyes, then the guns began to fire. The Mega Predator then looked to the tree stump Casey Brackett was hiding behind, lifting his other wrist and firing a shot of plasma at it. The biologist was fortunately unharmed as she fell into the dirt as the others continued to fire, Sky lifted her gun and began firing as well not caring where she aimed.

She also happened to drop Fugis original mask, which she fumbled over herself to reach for. The masks eye covers then glowed a bright red, a gun appearing out the side of it and firing at the Mega Predator. It hit it square in the chest and pushed him back a good distance, he roared as it seemed to have hurt him. That was when the explosives were detonated, those of which set the beast on fire.

The Predator was still seemingly unharmed although it was ablaze, but it was attempting to put itself out. That was when the man with Tourettes pulled out a knife and began running towards the creature.

"MAC NO!!!" The black haired man yelled.

But the human did not listen as he jumped onto the Predator, stabbing his knife into its head over and over. Sky ceased firing as she did not want to shoot the man who was kind to her, Fugi ceased firing as well. One of the soldiers were attempting to shoot at the beast but they were then hit with the Mega Predator's shoulder weapon, killing him. The man continued stabbing the alien when said alien had enough, he threw the man towards a tree.

The man was then impaled through the stomach from a stub of where a branch used to be. His friend yelled angrily and then unleashed his fury of ammo onto the Mega Predator, but the beast then used it's wristblades and fired them at the friend. The man yelled out in pain as he fell against a tree, his abdomen sliced open as his internal organs and a stream of blood came pouring out.

Fugi shielded the young girls eyes as the men were both fatally wounded. Although he was used to seeing such things, he did not want his human to become traumatized as she was more sensitive. He then helped her get to her feet, grabbing her bag and her arm. The Fugitive pulled Sky away from the gruesome scene while the others remained, fortunately unseen by the Mega Predator.

Fugi had dragged me away from what I could see was a war zone, and I was honestly terrified. Not of the Assassin Predator, but of seeing those men dying so brutally. My heart was racing and I was hyperventilating, Fugi clicked as he looked down at me. We were far enough away from the gunfire and yells of agony, around 500 yards

"Were you harmed? Did I harm your previous injuries while bringing you here?" He asked.

"No...I-I'm okay...physically anyways." I was mortified.

"You are shaking once again, you're terrified." I look up at Fugi.

I feel the tears begin to stream down my face, this time I don't try to hide them. I let my tears flow, I needed to cry. Both out of fear, and seeing good but looney men die at the hands of that BEAST. Fugi kneeled down and carefully wrapped his arms around me, clicking softly and gently rubbing my back.

"Good men, minus Jerry's soldiers, are dying in the most brutal ways I've ever seen..." I sobbed into his shoulder.

"I wouldn't say good, but know that I am not quite fond of humans." He said.

"Wh-What about me?" I sniffle.

Fugi sighed, "One of the very few that I find to be decent, as well as special."

I laugh between my sobs, pulling back to look at his mask. Fugi then wiped my tears away, and I felt that same feeling of safety.

"For the longest time...I thought there was something wrong with me...But now, I know that there was just a part of me I never discovered about myself..." I tried to get myself together.

Fugi nodded.

"Fugi..?" I ask, coughing to clear my throat.

"Yes?" He replies.

"What does Loute'kale mean?" I ask.

Fugi was silent, a growl escaping him as he stood. He turned his back to me as he clenched his fists, whatever this word I think means something offensive to him.

"Fugi, why won't you tell me what it means? I just want to know, I won't say it again knowing if it offends you." I say, much calmer now.

His head whipped to me, his dreads flying as they hit his back. But a heavy sigh escaped him.

"You won't like what it means." He says.

"Well, I don't like people dying in such a brutal way. But I guess I can't do much about that." I argued.

Fugi lowered his head.

"Loute'kale...means mate." He solemnly mumbled.

I was fucking SPEECHLESS. The Assassin wants ME as a fucking GIRLFRIEND?!? As that's disturbed and somewhat flattering that an alien has a crush on me, it's also comical. I tried to hold in my laughter, thinking of how well a relationship with a giant alien would go while I still have a mission to save my Autobot Friends. All outcomes point to "Oh hell nah!" I began to snicker at the thought of it, catching Fugi's attention.

"Okay, that is NOT happening for a NUMBER of reasons." I said, beginning to transition into laughter.

Fugi seemed confused, "Your reasons are?"

"1, I got my own mission to complete. 2, I don't got time for it. 3, My family would FREAK, but that might be amusing. And most importantly, I ain't interested." I said as I couldn't contain my laughter.

I wasn't laughing loudly, it was more like a hushed laughter. Fugi then seemed to relax, but then the scariest thing happened. A plasma shot flew by me and Fugi, scaring the hell out of the both of us. But the sound of it was really familiar to me, it wasn't the Mega Predator. Fugi turned around and readied his weapons, I looked by him and saw the one who wants me dead.

Lockdown stood there, for an odd reason at around 6 feet tall, with his mask on and his own handgun aimed.
