"Predator Problem"
Georgia was the first to wake up. The team had been involved in a car crash after a creature of some sort jumped on top of the car and Mike swerved it then crashed. Alex and Katie stirred and slowly stared to awaken. They all got out of the car, without injuries. Mike and Sasha soon wake up and are helped out by the others. Jimmy was the last to wake up. He had a few cuts, but nothing serious. They helped him out, and everyone looked around.
“There was that thing”, Sasha remembered.
“Whatever it is, wherever it is, we need to find it”, Katie decided.
“Hey, what’s this?”, wondered Mike. He had found a trail of blood along the pavement. They all followed the trail down the woody areas. Something swung overhead.
“What…was…that?”, stuttered Georgia, clinging onto Alex’s arm. The object jumped from tree to tree quicker than a lightning strike. It jumped down in front of them, and the team started running. A gunshot came out and killed the creature. It came from one of the ARC soldiers. They picked up an anomaly nearby, and couldn’t get through to the team. They took the creature back to the ARC.
The examination results were back. The creature was some sort of a future evolution of a bat. Katie decided to call Claudia to see if she knew anything.
“Hiya. We’ve just found a new creature. It’s a future evolution of a bat. Do you know what it is?”, Katie told Claudia.
“Hi. We’ve come across them a few times, but we cannot communicate with them, and we wouldn’t have time before they ate us, but we just call them Future Predators. They see sound, so when you come across one, be silent”, advised Claudia.
“OK, thanks. Got to go now, bye!”, finished Katie, hanging up.
They all went out to the other car and drove off in the direction of the anomaly. This was their biggest job yet, and Katie made sure no-one went wandering off through the anomaly this time.
“If anyone does, there will be a punishment”, said Katie, sounding like a school teacher.
“Yes Miss”, Jimmy muttered to Sasha and Mike. They all giggled. They arrived at the forest again, and saw the anomaly quite clearly between some trees.
“You soldiers, search the area. We’ll stay together”, ordered Katie.
“If only we could block the anomaly…”, wondered Alex. They started to watch it until the soldiers got back.
A few hours later, the anomaly was still blazing, but no sign of the soldiers. Katie had called Ben and told him, and she was starting to get worried.
“You don’t think they got eaten, do you?”, Georgia worried.
“Hope not”, added Sasha.
“It’s getting dark, we can’t stay here much longer, it’s too dangerous”, decided Katie. Suddenly, another Future Predator jumped in front of them. Georgia and Sasha screamed. Katie shushed them. But it was too late. The Predator had locked itself on them, and was about to pounce. They ran away, but it was too quick. It jumped on top of Jimmy and started attacking him. Mike distracted it, and it started chasing after Mike. Mike led it all over the place, slowing it down. Alex ran to the car, and the girls went to see Jimmy. He was alive, only just though. Suddenly, a car came down. It was Alex, and he signalled Mike to get the Predator in the way. It was about to pounce, but this time, it wasn’t fast enough, and got sent flying. It was dead.
“We need to get back, now!”, ordered Katie.
They all went back to the ARC, apart from Jimmy, who went to hospital. A few of the soldiers that were still alive went to check the area the next morning. The anomaly had gone and no creatures were in sight.
That evening, the team were gathered around Jimmy’s hospital bed. They were chatting, and Jimmy told them that he could be out in a few days. They were so happy.
But far far away, they didn’t know that one Predator was still out there…
