Coming of the Gods

I do not own the predator character. Nor do I make any money from my stories. All names are owned by me with the exception of Shyann and Peya-Luna.

Chapter 3




____________________________________________________________________________________________________________




When the two bipeds started running, Di'tse'te wasted no time. He quickly went after them, knowing without a doubt that Lord Go'Jin would want them to retrieve a specimen of this species to be studied.

When Ra'jon'te saw his brother chasing the two bipeds, he ran swiftly to circle around them.
In a matter of seconds, he was infront of the alien forms causing one of them to slam violently
up against his massive body while the other biped ran straight by him not noticing the first one's fall.

Di'tse'te stopped his pursuit when he saw the first life form crash into his brothers' body. He was about to continue his pursuit to catch the other one when Ra'jon'te interrupted him.

"Brother, let that one go. We only need one specimen for now."

"The creature will undoubtedly warn her clan, what if they come looking for her?" argued Di'tse'te.


"Most living beings have been known to be unable to detect our cloaks. Besides, even if they could, our scanners did not reveal readings of any kind of technology on this planet, so I wouldn't worry about it." Ro'jon'te said, as he observed the small; visibly dazed biped shake its head and look around for what it possibly could have crashed into.

Peya-Luna and Shyann ran as fast as their legs could carry them, but after only a brief moment
Peya-Luna's efforts to flee were abruptly terminated when her body crashed against something awfully hard.

She fell flat on her back after the impact and struggled to stay focused as the daze from her collision mixed in with adrenaline and fear, blurred her vision.


After a few minutes, Peya-Luna could hear a varity of clicks and low growls that slowly brought her out of her confusion and back into the state of terror she was in before she collided with the unknown.

She shook her head and started looking around for what she hit, when she came to a terrible
realization . . . Shyann was no longer with her!

"SHYANN?!" She shouted, hoping all-heartedly for a response. But there was none.


Before Peya-Luna could think any further, one of the large beings she had seen coming out of the giant metal bird, seemed to appear before her out of thin air. She was consumed by fear as she staggered back to her feet.

Just as she was going to turn to run; the large manlike creature grabbed her and effortlessly flung her over his broad shoulder.


"WHAT ARE YOU!? LET ME GO!" She screamed, hitting on the giants' back as it carried her away against her will.

When Peya-Luna lifted her head, another large creature, almost identical to the one carrying
her appeared behind them out of thin air as well. This second being seemed to look at her intensely, as they made their way back to the giant bird.


After this second one appeared, she was just about certain that these large manlike creatures had to be Gods.

Although she was scared out of her mind, Peya-Luna became quiet and stopped struggling. She figured that she best not risk angering the Gods and imagined that they surely had their reasons for wanting to take her.

"Please let it not be sacrifice." She whispered to herself, thinking she was way too young to be
sacrificed now. She wondered if Shyann had managed to make it back to the village . . . Or had the Gods already taken her back to the giant bird?


_____________________________________________


Shyann ran as fast as she could and had reached the edge of the jungle by the time she had
realized that her sister was no longer with her. When she finally realized she was alone, she stopped and her eyes searched the outskirts of the jungle, desperately hoping she would see Peya-Luna erupt from the bushes at any moment.


"Peya-Luna!" She screamed, as tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"PEYA-LUNA WHERE ARE YOU?!" Her eyes frantically probed the surrounding trees.


Shyann realized with dismay that her sister had most likely not escaped the strange inhabitants of the giant bird.

With that in mind, she did the only thing she could think of. She ran back to Quatura to tell her father of the events that had just taken place.


When Shyann reached the outskirts of the city, the inhabitants watched her whip by. They could not help but assume something terrible had happened because the expression on her face was one of sheer torture. She ran until she had finally reached the speaking stone where her father had been talking to their people up until that moment.

" FATHER!" She cried as she collapsed on her knees in front of him.


"What is it my daughter, what has happened?" Henday said, he had never seen
Shyann in such a state.

"I think they have taken her; I think they've taken Peya-Luna!" She managed between sobs.


"WHAT?!" The middle-aged man shouted as his eyes widened with frightened concern for his
oldest daughter.

"THE BANTOO WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS!" Howled the enraged Quaturan leader as
he signaled to his guards.

"NO FATHER! ...It was not the Bantoo . . . " Shyann spoke; still, haunted by the visions of what
she had witnessed.

"WHO THEN?! TELL ME SHYANN!" Henday shouted as he picked his daughter up by both arms bringing her to her feet in a fraction of a second.

"I don't know what they are ( her father's eyes grew even wider at her words), they are larger than
any other men I've seen, their skin is like the skin of lizards and their hair is like many black serpents coming out of their heads!"

Henday's eyes gazed into nothingness and his face took on a troubled expression as he took in his daughters’ words.

"Where did you see these strange men?" He said; looking back into Shyanns’ terrified eyes.


"They . . . they came in a giant bird made of metal . . . It was shining like a sun in the sky . . . We went
to see where it had landed and when we got there, those strange men came out of it. One of them came up behind us, but it was transparent . . . like water! We were frightened so we ran away."

"Other people in the city had come to tell my guards that they had seen such a thing in the sky, but I had not believed it...until now." Henday spoke as if he were talking to him self.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry father...I thought she was with me, I didn't know she had stayed behind. I thought she had fallowed me!" Shyann cried as she fell back down on her knees; her
mind filled with guilt at the thought that she had left her sister behind.

Henday kneeled infront of his daughter, cupping her face with his hand as he spoke.


"Shyann, I believe these creatures you speak of must be Gods . . . Only the Gods could have such powers."

"That's what Peya-Luna said Father!" She said with a glimmer of understanding.


"If the Gods have come down from the sky to claim Peya-Luna, they must surely have good
reason to do so." The Quaturan leader spoke with conviction as he rose, bringing his daughter
along with him.

"What should we do Father?"


"We must go to the Gods, we will greet them with offerings and ask them why they have taken Peya-Luna."

After those words, Henday ordered the cities' three wise men to follow him into the jungle.
Led by his daughter, the leader and his men made their way through the trees with offerings
of gold and fruit for the Gods.

"She seems to have quieted down." Di'tse'te observed.


"Yes , she is no longer tickling my back!" Ra'jon'te chuckled as he started walking up the ramp
of the ship.

"Brother, go in and prepare the bio-chamber for our guest" Ra'jon'te spoke, as he stopped at the top of the ramp.

Di'tse'te quickly entered the ship and went to the bio-chamber to purge the ships' atmosphere.

As soon as this was done, he activated another mechanism, designed to replace the purged air
by the air contained in the atmosphere surrounding the ship. When his task was complete, Di'tse'te used his gauntlet to advise his brother that the chamber was ready to receive the specimen.

Ra'jon'te knew that the creature he had on his shoulder would most likely suffocate within a matter of seconds inside their atmosphere and therefore, he had very little time to
make it to the bio-chamber once he was inside, (thankfully, the ships’ designers had thought of this and so it was not to far from the entrance).

When he opened the ships' door, he immediately started running. When he got to the chamber, he could already feel the small bipeds’ body jerking on his shoulder as she coughed and gasped. He wasted no time opening the door and throwing the small female into the air lock, immediately closing the door behind her.


As she laid there on her side, her breathing started to become even again as she rolled onto her back looking around as she did so.


_______________________________________________


When the Gods had arrived to their giant bird's opening, Peya-Luna noticed the one carrying
her making more clicking and growling sounds to the other one. She figured that this had to
be their language.


As she concentrated on these and other thoughts she observed the skin designs and attires
of the one that carried her. His skin was a dark tone of green with dark orange and black stripes.
She was absolutely amazed by it and by the craftsmen ship on the armor he wore.

Suddenly; Peya-Luna was forced to brace herself tightly as the massive body beneath her started running without warning. Before she knew it, the air going into her lungs started burning like fire! She couldn't breathe any more because her lungs desperately tried to expel each breath she took in.

In a matter of seconds, she was projected into an opening and before long, breathing became less painful and she was able to focus once again. She slowly turned to her back and looked around, trying to make out where she was. She knew she was surely inside the Gods' metal bird because strange lights danced all around her.

If she had ever had a doubt about these manlike creatures being Gods, they were all but gone
at that moment. These strange lights that danced around her were not fueled by any fire, and
therefore, they could only be the result of the Gods' powerful magic.

When the large door of the room she was in shifted open and the Gods walked in, Peya-Luna did
the one logical thing that came to mind, she got up on her knees and bowed down to them, arms extended and face toward the ground as her people had always done when praying to the Gods.

"What is she doing?" Di'tse'te asked, amazed at the fact the small biped female had not scurried in a corner of the room at their arrival.

"Is it not obvious?" Ra'jon'te asked in turn.

"It is a gesture of submission. This creature is obviously aware that we are much stronger than she is, so she is manifesting submission, hoping we will recognize it rather than risking angering us otherwise."

The bipeds' high heart rate and rapid breathing were getting worse by the second, the poor thing
was clearly scared out of its mind as it held its submissive position, shaking almost uncontrollably. Ra'jon'te slowly walked over to where the small female was and purred as he reached down to her. She flinched and looked up at him when he proceeded to rap his large taloned hand around her tiny wrist and slowly pulled her up to a standing position. Her eyes never left his; nor did the expression on her face.

Peya-Luna's partly opened lips trembled and her eyes bore a look similar to that of agony as she looked into the Gods’ dark glass eyes. She was overwhelmed in every sense of the word, almost nearing a state of shock. She desperately tried to regain her composer but when he went around her and started undoing the thin leather rope of her dress, it was simply too much for her troubled mind to take and so her thoughts were almost immediately consumed by total darkness.

________________________________________


When Ra'jon'te started undoing the small female's animal skin attire, he had to catch her
because she lost consciousness.

"Good, we won't have to restrain her" He said nonchalantly as he set her down on the examination table and continued undressing her.

Once Ra'jon'te had finished undressing her, both he and his brother examined her body intensely.

"Aside from her skull and face, she is not so different from our females." Di'tse'te stated admireing the curves of her full breasts and hips.

Ra'jon'te nodded in agreement and walked over to the control panel, initiating a full scan of
the bipeds' body. A large half cocoon shaped dome descended from the ceiling; covering
the specimens' body completely. In less then a minute, the scan was complete, mapping
all the bipeds' bone, nerve, muscle and skin structures inside their computers' data base.

"Her scent is most enticing, don't you find?" Di'tse'te trilled.

"For Payas’ sake Di'tse'te, don't you ever think about anything else?"

"Rarely." (Ra'jon'te rolled his eyes at that)

"Now all we need are a few tissue samples." Ra'jon'te said walking around the table as the
dome came back up.

"It's gone!" Shyann gasped, arriving at the exact location she had seen the metal bird.

"Are sure it was here Shyann?" Her father asked, looking out to where she was looking.


"Yes . . . Look at those marks in the ground!"

"I see them daughter. Come let's get a closer look."

Henday and his men fallowed Shyann to where the bird had left marks in the ground. When
one of his men tried to walk over one of the marks. He was quite surprised when an invisible
wall prevented him from going any further.

"Look Henday!" The wiseman said in amazement as he pressed against the invisible force
with his hand.

Henday looked back to his daughter to share a look of wonder and slowly walked toward
Hadju, who was still looking baffled by the force at hand. Shyann stayed back to watch as the men pursuied their investigation, she had had more than her share of unusual events for the day.

"So it is true! The Gods have come down from the heavens!" Henday said with astonishment,
touching the invisible wall for himself.

"Ra'jon'te, we have company." Di'tse'te said, looking at one of the monitors on the wall.

"What are they doing?" Ra'jon'te asked as he finished taking some blood samples from the
specimen.

"Well, they seem to be intrigued by our cloak. They are touching the hull of the ship."

"How many?"

"I'm reading four heat signatures, three of which are larger ( he paused to look closely at
the screen). Judging by the general shape of their anatomy, I think the larger ones are males."

"Nothing to worry about, we'll go out and greet them in a few minutes. I'm just about done
for now." Ra'jon'te said as he finished inserting the sample tubes in an opening to be analyzed.

"Hey Ra'jon'te, watch this!" Di'tse'te chuckled, just barely grazing the thrusters' controls,
causing the ship to rumble for a few seconds.

He then laughed his ass off when the four unsuspecting creatures jumped. The two touching
the ship being scared so badly that they fell backwards to the ground and scurried quite a few feet away.

"Stop scaring the locals Di'tse'te, It's not nice . . . Funny (he added with a smile), but not nice."
