Thought I'd make some changes to the battles in Requiem to make them a little more intense and realistic. Also added two, one with the PredAlien attacking the Predators on the scout ship and one at the swimming pool where that Alien stupidly gets speared.
Ship Battle
As the Predator continues to strip the skin off the Alien skull, the PredAlien appears in a reflection beside it. In a flash, illuminous blood covers the skull, as the Xenomorph grabs it violently by the neck, headbiting it and killing it instantly. The Predator studying a holographic orb, hears the commotion and dashes to the racket. Running down the steamy corridor and turning a corner, his vision fills with another Predator defending against something. As his vision switches, a large orange figure is seen standing there, waving it's tail madly at it's opponent. Detaching a Shurkien from it's side, it launches it at the beast. It glides through the thick, hot air effortlessly and slices through a row of tube-like dreadlocks. The PredAlien screetches and turns to his new foe. The Predator in front attacks with it's blades but is suddenly spun around by the tremendous force of the PredAlien's tail. Striking again, blood splatters from the hunters throat as a tail is sliced into it. Suddenly the PredAlien disappears from the other Predators view. The helpless hunter scans the area before it as it's fingers twitch with both fear and exitment. The ships engines roar as the Predator begins to stalk forward, unsheathing a pair of deadly blades. With a horrible growl the PredAlien in the pipes above, slams it's club-like tail into the mask, sending the owner flying across the room and into the wall on the otherside. Quickly looking up, the Predator see's that the bastard is standing right in front of him, unmoving, dripping rivers of slime onto his ships floor. The red laser on his mask suddenly appears and instictivley he shoots a blast of plasma at the monster. The PredAlien runs, dodging the shot and it burns straight into the hull. The body of the dead Predator is swiftly sucked into the gash along with the chains that line the rooms walls. The ship turns and plummets towards Earth, disappearing in a maze of clouds.
Sewer Battle
Wolf jumps into the grotesque water and bellows loudly. The otherwordly roar echos through the entire sewer system, awakening and stirring Aliens that lie in wait. Screetches fill the tunnel and many Aliens begin to charge down the tunnels towards the fresh meat. They crawl on the ceiling with awesome speed, their teeth shining in the moonlight from the manholes above. Activating a bar on his wrist gauntlet, the objects that Wolf positioned around the tunnels suddenly come alive with burning red energy. A few of the Aliens turn their heads to the lights behind them, but turn again and communicate to the fellow Warriors in front. Jumping from a wall like an olympic athlete, a lone Warrior attacks The Wolf, mouth ajar. A hot blast of plasma is thrust forth from a shoulder cannon and it sends the attaker flying backwards towards the 'cage bars'. As it hits the lasers it is instantly spilt into many pieces. Wolf focuses on another tunnel as three Warriors continue to charge. His targeting aimer successfully locks onto a target and the cannon shoots once again. Jumping to the opposite wall, the Warrior continues to chrage as the bolt of plasma disappears in a blast of rubble. The cannon shoots again at the target and it dodges once again, but hits another Warrior behind. As it slumps into the greasey water, the two surviving Warriors leap onto the ceiling and appear to run faster and faster in an almost perfect single file. The closest, leaps at Wolf while upside down teeth and claws beared. It's head it blown off as a blast of blue fills the dark tunnel, splashing it's acidic blood off the Warrior behind it. The Predator gets a sudden feeling of fear as the acid covered Warrior leaps at him tremdous force. It is too close to be shot at and it's covered in it's brothers deadly blood.
The Predator braces the impact as the Alien slams into him, but is sent flying backwards with it on top. Blood drips from the slavering creatures skeletal chest onto Wolfs scaley flesh and the Alien shoots it's inner jaw relentlesly at the masks souless eyes. Wolf grabs it by the neck and tries to force it back as the two struggle in the water. Moaning in pain as the acid begins to eat into his chest, he tries to slump deeper into the water. As his head submerges, his masks vision begins to crackle and the Warriors muffled screetches distort. Acid begins to drip onto Wolfs hands as he continues to force back the Warrior. Giving a loud roar of both pain and anger, he unsheathes his wristblades from his gauntlet and swifly stabs them into the Warriors piped neck. It's screams distort further as Wolf raises to his feet holding up the Alien with a single muscular arm. Acid begins to pour out of the wound and onto Wolfs hand; a price he knew he would have to pay. The Warriors tail suddenly appears out the water and the bladed end focusses on Wolf. Like a spear it beelines it's way to the Predators head, but is unsuccesful in landing a hit. Wolf dodges the lethal weapon and quickly takes out the planted blades and throughs his hand in the water. Blood spurts out of the Warriors neck but it's tail seems still fully alert. It strikes again at the old hunter and slides straight through his left arm, turning the water below green. The Aliens head twitches as it tries to ragain balance and return to two feet. It digs out the tail blade and splashes it in the water behind. The acid, while getting less potent, still continues to burn into Wolfs hand even though submerged. His wirstblades have completely disintigrated. Turning at the rising Warrior, the Predator jumps back and shoots two bolts of plasma, one from each cannon. The Alien squeels as it explodes in a waterful of slime and limbs.
Wolf returns his right hand to the water, moaning at the pain of it. He had willing lost a limb, but that was nothing campared to uncompleting the mission. No rest for the wicked however as more screetches echo through the tunnels, causing Wolfs head to turn wildly in the directions. Many more Aliens appear in his vision, but on the otherside of his laser trap. The group of five Aliens study the strange emitors, looking around and above for any possible way to get through. Two of the creatures behind, hiss at the others in front and disappear into a smaller tunnel close to the water. Wolf grabs his bleeding left arm as his cannons begin to fire repeatedly at the trio. They dart in all directions as the bolts glide through the lasers and explode all around them causing a storm of rubble and rock. Wolf growls in annoyance as he tries his best to lock onto the moving targets, that acrobatically leap from wall to wall, ceiling to floor. Giving up, the hunter once again goes to his wrist gauntet and bresses objects. The laser trap suddenly retracts it's lasers and the Warriors instantly attack. Uncoiling a large whip from his side with his arkward left hand, he swings it around the tight tunnel like a proud cowboy. The razored edges hit off the wet walls creating sparks that illuminate the dark tunnel. Roaring with exitment as one of the Aliens comes into range, he flicks the whip at it as it quickly coils around it's slimey body. Pulling sharply, the razored egdes cut into the Warriors hard exoskeleton, completely splitting it in half. The other two Xenomorphs suddenly stop before they come into range and begin to slowly crawl back. Wolfs fingers curl with triumph as he stalks towards the cowering prey. A few metres behind the Predator, eight tube like organs appear from the murk and large tails silently propel them toward the unwary enemy. With a sudden bust of speed, one of the submerged Warriors leaps for Wolfs right leg, grabbing it with awful claws. It's jaw is sent crashing through flesh and muscle and their owner groans with unimaginable pain. The other Warrior leaps, screaming like a banshee and grabbing hold of his right arm. The weight of the two Aliens is almost unbearable and slams one into a wall as the other continues to bite at his leg.
The walled creature is suddenly thrust into air and thrown into the water in an awesome display of strenght. A blast of blue and the Alien slowly floats to the disturbed water, dead. Wolfs leg begins to feel completely dead as the other Alien tries to rip it from it's socket. Flicking it's whip at the annoyance, it cuts straight into it's ridged head. The whip is stuck again and again and the Aliens head is slowly cut into fine pieces. Eventually dropping dead, The Wolf staggers as his blood uncontrolably pours from his horrid leg wound. The two Warriors that backed off earlier attack again, slithering across the celing like serpents. Further into the tunnel, a large figure appears from around a corner. The beast appears orange in the hunters vision and he instantly confirms it as the PredAlien. It's growls fill the tunnel as it slowly stalks toward her killer. With the two Warriors almost on him, Wolf again returns to his gauntlet. The laser trap remains lifeless however and the PredAlien walks straight past the emitors. Deafet almost devours Wolf completely, but he swifly presses a set of different buttons. A countdown begins from the gauntlet and a small orb is ejected from it's core. Catching it with his weak hand, the Predator launches it at the screaming creatures. Predictably, they turn statue and instantly retreat as the small ball lands in the water in front of them. The PredAlien too retreats, leaping at the dripping ceiling and grabbing hold of it's rough bricks. The orb continues to bleep faster under the water and Wolf drags his legs in the opposite direction. The bleeping silences and a blast of light appears from the murk, blasting the walls off and covering the place in rubble and water. Diving around a corner and into the water, the hunter just misses the intense heat of the blast as it passes over the surface. A while away, the two Aliens appear out of a manhole and dash for the shops in front. The PredAlien follows, but breaks through the concrete with her large head. Emerging in the middle of the road, she clicks with hunger as a diner comes into view.
Pool Battle
The Alien drags the torn, bloody corspe along the pool side as a thick river of blood trails behind it. It hisses as it throws the body in front of it and slowly opens it maw. It's inner jaw is jamed into the red flesh, it's teeth grabbing small chunks with every bite. The pool water refelcets off the carnange as the hungry creature continues to feed on the dead teenager. Sencing something behind it, the Alien haults it's eating jaws and goes completely still. Nothing can be heard but the ripple of the water but the Warrior knows that something is there. With a sudden flick of it's tail, the cloaked Wolf sneaking from behind, is thrust into the pool growling. Again, his vision distorts as the liquid begins to mess with the insides. As his cloak shimmers and disappears, he places his feet on the floor, turning to the direction of the Alien. Without a second thought, he takes a massive leap from the pool and lands on the other side, his bladed sandels crunching into the rusted tiles. He scans the pool for a fast moving green figure, but it is not there. He suddenly see's one at the pool entrance door, hissing at the Predator through the fogged glass. His cannons suddenly appear on his shoulders and Wolf blasts away at the creature. As per usual the Warrior quickly disappears out of sight as the bolts zoom towards it. A small drip of slime hits the top of Wolfs scarred mask and he barely hears it. From above, another Alien jumps down to his victim, aiming for his head with extended jaws. Quickly reacting, the hunter reaches for the falling beast, grabbing it's left arm that is splayed infront. Pulling it to the side before it touches him he throws it into the pool as it screetches with suprsie. His cannons lock on and fire bolts at his submerged enemy. The Warrior glides from side to side of the pool, gracefully evading them. As the plasma blasts are fired into the pool, the water is splashed in all directions, blocking a good view of the target.
The green silohette disappears in a blanket of blue, Wolf quickly reaches for his spear, and grips it tightly. He continues to randomly fire into the water but is prepared for an impact. As a shard of water clears, the green body reappears, dashing towards him like a torpedo. Roaring loudly, The Wolf strikes at the Alien with the spear as it is shuved right into his gaping maw. It squels with more yet more suprise as the jagged metal cuts through it's inner jaw and throat. Reaching for the pool edge, the Warrior makes a last attempt to attack and spears it's tail at him, impaling him in the side of his chest. Blood spills onto the tiles and cracks below. Tensing up his arms, the Predator throws the creature back into the pool, at it quikcly slides off the spear, unmoving. Aggrivating and in more pain, Wolf falls into his own pool of blood, clicking in aggony. He deeply breaths, trying to steady his thumbing heart. As he begins to settle however, an even more monstrous clicking is heard from outside, followed by an intense scream. Turning his head to the door, he see's two shadows moving quickly towards it, one towering over the other. Spotting a corridor at the other side of the pool, The Wolf takes a proud leap towards it, completely scaling the width of the pool. His blood makes an almost perfect line in the water as he jumps. Landing and turning again towards the entrance, he see's a terrified woman dash through the door, perused by the monstorus PredAlien. Fear ingulfs him and Wolf sprints as fast as he can down the dark corridor, blood pours even faster from his side wound. As the PredAlien glides towards the woman, who is now slumped in the corner sobbing, she spots the trail of blood that leads to the corridor. Her manibles quiver and she continues to engage the petrified woman.
Hive Battle
Wolf scans the hospital room, cannon in hand. In it's beds, the expected mothers lie dead, their inners spread across their covers and the floor below. Switching modes, thin trails of yellow slime appear down the beds. They slither down onto the floor and wind their way to the darkest places of the room. A quiet growl begins from behind the unsuspecting Predator as the PredAlien descends upon him. With a effortless flick of her lethal tail, the hunter is sent crashing through a window and into the Hive tunnel on the other side. As his armoured back slams against the slime drenched wall, he focusses on the Queen in front of him. She stands there proudly, grinning upon him with a strange happiness. Grabbing the cannon from the floor, he aims it at the monsters head. As it prepares to fire, a Warrior suddenly appears infront of the PredAlien and hisses uncontrolably at the floored Predator. The room fills with an epic boom as the Warrior is blasted away and the PredAlien disappears. Picking himself up from the layer of broken glass, he unsheaths his spear and grips it harder than ever before. He hears the PredAlien growling but he can't make it where it is. Is it outside? At the other end of the hall? Above him? Behind him? Something is however as a long evil hand reaches out from a gap in the Hive resin. Wolf swiftly turns as a large pair of claws rips at his dreadlocks, the Alien screams with annoyance as it misses. Quickly retracting it's arm, it dashes back into the tight tunnel as Wolf aims at it with his gun. The bolt disappears into the darkness as he fires, but the Alien makes no sound.
From another small tunnel in front of the hunter, the Warrior leaps, hands forward. Grabbing him by the head, the horror forces him to the wall behind him. Both spear and cannon are dropped and they slide across the wet ground. Raising it's tail, the Warriror points it's blade at him as it strikes with it jaws. Wolf tries to force it back with both scaley hands and his right foot. Within a second, he Alien strikes at him with it's evil tail. Dodging quickly, the end is speared into the resin but is swiftly pulled back out. The tail is struck again but the Predator swings it's head again. The Alien retracts it's jaws and Wolf slams his mask into it face, the monters front teeth and broken at the tremendous force. As it's long hed is trown backwards, The Wolf grabs it by the right leg and launches it down the hall. Landing and quickly picking itself up, a spear tip appears at the end of it's ridged head. The Warrior stands there unmoving as the veins in it's brain begin to burst. Falling to the floor, Wolf turns as he spots another two Aliens charging at him from the far end of the Hive tunnel. Detaching two shurikens from his side, he throws them almost randomly as they continue to run across the tunnel walls. One Warrior jumps as a bladed start zooms towards it. The other Warrior leaps too, but the advancing shuriken is jammed into it's left leg as it leaps. It falls to the floor thriving as the other Alien contines to chrage at the hunter. "Jesse wait!" yells Ricky as he pursues the terrified girl. Looking down the Hive, Jesse is suddenly thrown to the wall as a shuriken digs into her side. The lethal ends stick into the wall causing the girl to hang there like a rag doll. Molly screams as her mother puts a hand in front of her. Ricky stares at her dead face as blood drips from her tender lips. A loud blast causing him to look to look down the tunnel as an Alien is blasted away with a shine of blue light.
Seeing the imposing figure standing there, he fills with rage and charges at the killer. Firing as he runs, he screams like a maniac as the bullets hit off Wolf mask and stomach. Wolf aims his gun at the fool but is suddenly pushed away as a Warrior appears out of nowhere. Dropping his cannon once again, the Alien pushes him into an elevator door. The two aliens quickly descend the shaft as they thrive and attack each other as they fall. Ricky dashes over to the gash in the door and fires a reign of bullets down the shaft. "Motherf*ckers!" Dallas runs over to his brother. "Ricky!" The boy drops his gun and defeat consumes his distraught face. Dallas looks at him with sorrowful eyes as he weilds own weapon. Spotting the cannon on the ground, Ricky picks it up and looks at his older brother with confusment. Ricky suddenly gasps as a tail is thrown through his stomach. The PredAlien holds him up as the pathetic human grabs the spiked club with pain. Grabbing his sides, the Alien rips him apart with ease and his body is torn in two. Dallas yells widly and takes aim at the creature. The bullets just bounce off it's hard body as it's mandibles drip saliva. Shooting at it's ugly face, Dallas walks forward as he fires. Groaning at the slight pain, the PredAlien quickly disappears behind a nearby door. As Dallas tightens his rifle tighter and stares down at the dismembered corpse, he places a hand on his wet head in both enragement and over powering sadness.
