Chapter 7
PROLOGUE
...
To be...or not to be. That is the question we all must ask ourselves. To survive is the topmost priority of all known life; alien or not, it is a primordial instinct built into our core being, giving rise to warfare, battles for mates, food, shelter. It is an act brought upon us by years of hell. To ignore it would be suicide. It is all life has known.

Chapter 7
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
NOTE: This entire chapter is about Bhu'ja!
...
Bhu'ja was consumed by a primal rage. His half-brother lay bleeding out as the nine foot tall Super Predator stood laughing. A fiery rage clouded his senses, all sense of cover destroyed. With ninja-esque agility, he jumped down to the ground, but never made it. The Super turned and backhanded him with the force of a locomotive. Bhu'ja saw stars. He slammed into a tree and literally left his indentation in it. He fell, the foot deep print of his body in the bark of the tree. The Super stalked over to him.
"H'ulij-bpe d/ yeyin. H'ko thar'n-dha, h'ko dhi'rauta," he snarled.
"C'jit dr'a!" roared Bhu'ja. He picked himself up. The Super Predator immediately roundhouse kicked Bhu'ja and knocked him down.
Pauk! thought Bhu'ja, ignoring the throbbing pain in his head. He got up and dodged another kick. A crack line disrupted his view of the world. The image in the mask was staticky. The kick had made a crack across the left lens. Bhu'ja spread his feet, arched his back, and spread his arms. He threw back his head and let loose a ROAR! The Super did the same. Bhu'ja growled menacingly and slowly allowed his long blades to slide out. They made a screetching sound that Bhu'ja was proud of. The Super had even longer ones. They were covered in Lar'ja's blood, and that really put Bhu'ja into a rage.
He produced a gutteral, animalistic, scream, and charged. The Super Predator was surprised, but quickly recovered, and parried Bhu'ja's attack. The blades clanged. The taller kicked Bhuja's chest, sending him spiralling. He stopped his spin and resteadied himself. He looked over at Lar'ja. He wasn't breathing. Suddenly, a feeling he had never felt crept up on him. He did not know what it was. It made him uncomfortable, unsure.
Bhu'ja then realized what it was. He was scared.
His heartbeat quickened. He grew even more furious. He refused to let Lar'ja die. He refused to believe it. He attacked with more ferocity than before. The blades clanged and created sparks. Smoke rose from the blades as they met with even more force than before. Sparks fell frequently. Bhu'ja saw a massive heat signature but ignored it. He was too preoccupied. Finally, he landed a hit. The Super roared and ripped Bhu'ja's blades out of his side. He swung, and Bhu'ja met it, tearing the blades in two. He roared like a lion. The Super swung his remaining arm, but Bhu'ja grabbed it in a vice-like grip. He squeezed. The Super Predator hissed in fury and pain. Bhu'ja squeezed even harder. The larger Predator roared in pain as bones cracked.
"Fuck you!" snarled Bhu'ja in English. He activated his shoulder cannon and fired. The Super's chest exploded outward, covering Bhu'ja's mask in green gore. More than it should've. Bhu'ja looked up. The Super's head was gone.
And standing behind the decapitated Predator were two beings. A human male that was very muscular, and a female Yautja with waistlength dreads. And surrounding the clearing was a massive wall of fire.
...
Woowee! Getting intense, eh? Of it is! You know that! What will happen? Will they escape? Stay tuned!
NOTE ON THE LANGUAGE:
H'ulij-bpe d/ yeyin. H'ko thar'n-dha, h'ko dhi'rauta: You are either crazy or brave. You have no strength, no cunning.
C'jit dr'a!: Damn you!
Pauk!: Fuck!
