SPACE

In the darkness of space, a Predator spaceship soars acrossthe stars.

DR. VINSON MARLOW

(voice over)Due to the Hunter records Ivetranslated, this is how the warbetween the two species began.

INT. PREDATOR SHIP COCKPIT - ORBIT

A Predator sits at the controls of the ship. When a beepingsound emits from the controls. The Predator presses thebuttons on the controls.

A hologram navigation screen appears in front of him. It

shows targeter aiming at a planet on the screen. Thetargeter zooms in on the planet.

It shows an image of an Engineer temple, like on LV-223 inPrometheus, with the targeter aiming at it. He startspressing buttons on the controls.

INT. PREDATOR SHIP MAIN ROOM - ORBIT

The Predators gather in a round room, like Predator 2, whena hologram projects in the center of the room of theEngineer temple. The Predators look curious.

DR. VINSON MARLOW(voice over)

The Hunters intercepted an SOS fromthe Engineers at least a hundredyears before the Prometheusmission. At least around 1990.

The Lead Predator, lets call him DARWIN motions to thePredators.


Curious. They went to investigate.

SPACE

The Predator ship flies toward the nearby planet.

EXT. UNKNOWN PLANET - NIGHT

The Predator ship lands on the planet slowly. A ramp lowersfrom the ship and the large pack of Predators exit the shipand look ahead of them.

They stare at the large Engineer temple, the round stonetemple with the skull atop. They look up at the human skull.Even more curious.

The Predators approach the temple working like a SWAT teamtoward the entrance with Darwin leading. They walk to theopening in the temple and slowly walk inside.

INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE CORRIDOR - CONTINUE

The Predators enter the temple finding the tunnel likehallways like in Prometheus. The Predators walk through thetunnels looking around.

When the Predators find something in the hall. Its a deadEngineer in a Space Jockey suit lying on the ground. TheDarwin examines the dead Engineer. Hes been dead a longtime.

POV: DARWIN VISION

The Predators vision stares at the dead Engineer. Hisvision changes showing an x-ray under the suit showing thealbino, bald Engineer underneath.


It is unknown if the Hunters wereaware of the Engineers orencountered them before. Maybe theEngineers were as just a mystery tothe Hunters as they were to us.

He continues to lead the group down the hall. When they finda pile of dead humans, primitive humans like Neanderthals.Piled up like a holocaust picture.

They examine the bodies. They all have holes in theirchests. The Predators are curious. So they continue on downthe tunnel.

They find a large door and slowly enter the room.

INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE STATUE ROOM - CONTINUE

Its like the Ampule Room, a large round room with murals onthe walls and ceiling, with a statue head of an Engineer.The murals are of Aliens.

But instead of jars. Its full of Alien eggs spread out allover the room. Darwin walks up to one of the eggs andcrouches down to examine it.

POV: DARWIN VISION

Darwins vision stares at the egg. His vision showing theFacehugger moving inside.

The egg slowly hatches. A Facehugger slowly crawls out ofit. The Predator doesnt even flinch. When the Facehuggerleaps out of the egg and Darwin catches it in midair by thetail.

The Facehugger swirms trying to escape the Predatorsclutches. He stands up still holding the Facehuggeer. Thenthrows it on the ground and crushes it under his foot.

The Facehugger is dead, but it left burns on his sandle, hissandle is slightly melted with steam coming from it. ThePredator tilts his head to the left curious.


It is led us to speculate that theXenomorphs have been around for a

long time due to the Xenomorphmurals in the Engineers templesand that the ship on LV-426 was asold as the ships on LV-223, 2000years, give or take.

The Predator in the back sees something running pass theroom down the hall. He roars at his clan getting theirattention and pointing. The Predators head out of the room.


They run out of the room watching the creature disappeararound a corner, it appears to be running on fours and veryfast. The Predator run trying to follow it.

INT. ENGINEER SHIP BRIDGE - CONTINUE

The Predators follow it into an Engineer ship bridge, theround room with the control chair and the telescopenavigation, with of course a dead Engineer in the chair.

But he has a hole in his head instead of his chest. Darwin

walks up to the dead Engineer in the chair and stares at it.He reaches over to touch it.

Suddenly an Alien drops on top of it and hisses at him.Darwin backs away and aims his gun.

POV: DARWINS VISION

His vision can see the Alien crouched in front of him, butnot very well. His vision changes to many setting, but itstoo late, the Alien pounces at him.

The Alien tackles Darwin while the other Predators back away

confused.


The other Hunters didnt intervenebecause they couldnt make out whatthe creature was on their visionsettings. They had never seen itbefore.

The Alien stares at him and opens its mouth revealing itsmouth-tongue, but Darwin kicks the Alien off of himlaunching him into the control chair.

Darwin stands up and looks at the Alien.

POV: DARWINS VISION

Darwins vision continues to change until finally he shows asetting where he can see the Alien who appears in blue on ared background and his targeter aims at the Alien.

His gun aims at the Alien and fires hitting the Alien in thechest blowing him up into balls of acid. Acid blood splasheseverywhere burning holes on the floor.

The Predators are amazed. Darwin bends down and looks at thebody. Theyve never seen an species like this before.Suddenly, they hear more Aliens hisses all over the room.

The Predators extend their wrist-blades, aim their guns, anddraw their spears. Darwin motions and clicks at thePredators.

After examining the acid blood theHunter mustve warned them not toget to close to the creatures andtell them what vision to set theirhelmets too.

They look around trying to locate the creatures.

POV: PREDATOR VISION

Their visions wipes changing from vision to vision untilthey finally can see it, theyre surrounded by Aliens allover the walls in the shadows.


And so the war began.

The Aliens and the Predators clash. The Aliens leap off thewalls and attack the Predators while the Predators try todefend themselves with their weapons.

Plasma bolts flying all over blowing the Aliens to pieces.The Aliens impaling the Aliens with their tails. Predatorsslicing with their wrist-blades.

Aliens slicing them with their claws. The Predators stabbingthem with their spears. Aliens tackling the Predators andbiting their heads with their mouth-tongues.

Its an epic battle with Aliens swarming all over thePredators. The Aliens outnumber them a hundred to one butthe Predators have the upper hand.

The Alien numbers begin to dim, but a lot of the Predatorswere dropped down to only five. The last five Predators slaythe last of the Aliens.

The surviving five stand in amongst the battle field,surrounded by dead Aliens and dead Predators all over theEngineers control room.

DR. VINSON MARLOW

(voice over)The surviving Hunters had a taste.A taste for Alien blood.

Darwin walks up to the dead Alien that he slayed first. Herips off its head and holds up to his four brothers androars. His brothers throw their fists in the air and roar aswell.

After years of hunting humans andothers, this was one of the bestchallenge they had. They wantedmore.

Darwin walks over to the control panel of Engineers ship.He presses the buttons on the telescope like machine in thechair.

When they see holograms of the Engineer appears in the seat.The hologram of the Engineers suit opens and he steps outof the chair.


The Hunters, like us, were able toactivate the Engineers holo-log

records.

The Predators watch it all happen. The Engineer walks to theentrance of the room where he meets with more hologramEngineers.

They Engineers walk to the other end of the room withPredators just standing their curious as the Engineers leavethe room.

The Predators are about to follow them out of the room, butwhen they reach the exit, they come back with Neanderthalswho seemed to have been captured by the Engineers.

They escort them like they are in a slave labor camp. Theyescort them to the other end of the room where the otherEngineers entered and exit. The Predators follow.


The Predators follow the holograms back into the hall wherethe Engineers escort the humans to the room where they foundthe eggs.

INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE STATUE ROOM - CONTINUE

The Predators enter the room and watch the Engineers placethe humans in front of the Alien eggs as the eggs hatch andFacehuggers attack them.

The Engineers mustve broughtprimitive humans to the planet tobreed them with the Aliens.Probably for bio-weapons.

The holograms change like a disturbance in the feed, theEngineers disappear and just shows the humans on the groundwith the dead Facehuggers next to their heads.

The Predators continue to watch the holograms. When humanbodies start convulsing, when the Chestbursters explode fromtheir chests.

The Predators are intrigued. The Engineers enter the roomand pick up the Chestbursters and place them in littlecages.

While the other Engineers pick up the bodies and carry themout in the hall. The Predators follow.


The Predators follow the hologram Engineers out into thehall where the Engineers throw the bodies into a large pile,the pile theyre looking at now.

The Engineers carry the cages of the Chestbursters down thehall. When theres another disturbance in the feed where theEngineers disappear.

And two Engineers appear running from the Xenomorphs. OneEngineers gets caught by an Alien and bites into his headkilling him.

While the other Engineer gets away. The Predators follow thelast Engineer out of the hallway back into the shipsbridge.

INT. ENGINEER SHIP BRIDGE - CONTINUE

They enter the room to see the Engineer jump onto the ship,the Jockey suit forms around his body as the ship readiesfor take off, the hologram solar system showing all around.

Darwin notices something he hadnt before. He saw an egg

behind the statue in a small, closet like room. Darwin walksover to the egg.

POV: DARWINS VISION

His vision changes to see the inside of the egg. TheFacehugger looked different. This one had sharp parps on itsback. A Queen Facehugger.


The Predator didnt know what thecreature inside this egg was, but

he knew it was different from theothers.

Darwin takes the egg.

The Predator ship flies above a jungle planet with thehumans theyve captured plummeting from the sky. Parachutesopen and they slowly descent into the jungle.


They found an unknown planet totest the Xenomorphs and dropped the

hosts onto it.

EXT. UNKNOWN PLANET 2, JUNGLE - DUSK

More Predators, led by Darwin, have already arrived on theplanet searching through the jungle. They find the bodies ofthe hosts with holes in their chests.

They continue their search when they notice the area beginsto change. The trees begin to show Alien webbing all overthe area. They even encounter Alien eggs.


Upon arriving, they discover thattheir theory was correct. There wasa way to make more eggs.

They continue searching. When the Aliens come out of thewebbing and attack the Predators. They begin fighting theAlien beasts.

They fight them off one by one with their weapons as theAliens slaughter most of them, its an epic war between the

two species. Most of the Predators are slaughtered.

The Predators try to retreat moving through nest avoidingand fighting the Aliens as best they can until they findsomething they didnt expect.

Most the Aliens have been wiped out, but the Queen is mad.She disconnects from her egg sack and stands ready toattack.

One Predator aims his shoulder canon at the Queen, butDarwin props the gun down nodding no. Instead, Darwin standsin front of the Alien Queen.

He aims his gauntlet at the Queen and fires a cord at theQueen that wraps around her neck. He pulls hard on the Queenas she resists.

The rest of the Predators fire their tow lines that wraparound the Queens arms, legs, tail, and torso. The Queenresists but it is no use.

DR. VINSON MARLOW (contd)They began breeding the Xenomorpheggs and started their Xenomorphsafaris.

The Predators meet up with another tribe, Greybacks tribe,

the tribe from Predator 2.


They even did deals with otherHunter tribes trading Alien eggswith them.

Darwin and Greyback shake hands and exchange Alien eggs.This would Explain the Alien skull on the ship in Predator2.

The Predators abduct more humans, breeding Alien eggs, and

hunting them on barren, unpopulated planets. Predators allover fight the Aliens, including Greybacks tribe.


The Hunters continued to abductmore humans using them as hosts tobreed the Aliens and hunt them onother planets.

The Predators are shown marking themselves with symbols ontheir foreheads with the acid blood of their Alien kills.


The Hunters began a tradition withthe Xenomorphs, where when theymake their first kill, they wouldmark themselves with theXenomorphs acid blood.

Colonies are shown being built on other planets, a Predatorship flies above the colonies dropping pods onto the planetand colonies become impregnated.


After the human race expandedacross the stars. The Predators,every 15 years, to not drawattention, would drop the eggs onthe colonized planets to cocoon thecolonists and would begin moresafaris.
