Prologue
Washington, D.C.

The sun had long ago set; the streets of D.C. were dark and foreboding. Raiders, ghouls and super mutants lurked the ruins. The nuclear apocalypse of 2077 had left the world as a horrible wasteland. Humanity was lucky to survive... at all. But life wasn’t restricted to Earth, oh no. Life was out there in the cold expanse of space.

Many light years away from the Sol System were species that had been fighting for millennia; the first species was a humanoid. Taller than a man, stronger and smarter too they were a warrior race, hunters without equal. The other species were parasites, they would use other species as hosts and took on certain traits from the host, and they were deadly killers without remorse.

The hunters saw the most perfect prey in these parasites and so they took them to planets like Earth that were bountiful with life. Here the parasites would breed and then the hunters would come to take part in the most ambitious hunt of all time. The hunters came to Earth and found humanity. At that time humans were not completely aware of the world and had no idea about anything that was in the stars. They worshiped the hunters and in turn were taught how to build and the hunters used the humans to build pyramids around the globe. Here the hunt began and the hunters would fight until they were victorious. But sometimes the hunters were overwhelmed but they ensured nothing stayed alive.

The hunters were aware of the Great War they watched from afar and mused at the weakness of humans to allow their planet to fall into such disarray. But soon they had to check out the planet and to their surprise found that the human race hadn’t become extinct. They still hung on and this was a good thing for the hunters they could once again hold the hunt.

Chapter 1- To Hunt A Hunter
Washington D.C.

It was night time in D.C., the streets were littered with the ruins of the war. Corporal Eric and his squad made their way through the debris, they were on a important mission. They were tasked to capture a specimen for the scientists of the Enclave to study, they were also told to bring the specimen back alive.
Eric and his men loaded their rifles and turned on their night vision goggles.

"Sir, we are nearing a ruined metro station" said Private Johnson.

Eric looked over to the young man who was in his early thirties.

"Let's move out people" ordered Eric.

As the squad filed through the street towards the metro station a lone figure moved about. The hunter looked down upon the squad of men, he wore a http://www.plasmainfusion.com/400014_press01-001.jpg which gave him infrared vision. He slowly made his way down the brick wall of the building he was on. He silently dropped to the ground and followed the squad, because of his cloaking device he needn't worry about being discovered.

Eric and his squad stopped at the metro station, Eric looked around to make sure that no one was around. When he was satisfied that there wasn't anyone around he and his squad descended into the metro.

"Turn on your flashlights" ordered Eric.

His men obeyed.

The hunter watched as the men went into the metro he followed them, they were unaware of it but they were walking into a trap.

Private Johnson was at the back of the line he stopped and looked around he looked back to the squad but they weren't there.

"Corporal sir, where are you?" asked Johnson.

"Over here" came a voice to his right.

He headed towards the voice. He heard a weird clicking noise, he could just see someone standing at the back of the room he was in. He walked towards it, what he saw but made him freeze like a statue.

The hunter stood there looking at the human who was looking towards him, he stepped forwards. His http://images.wikia.com/avp/images/4/45/Blades.JPG at the ready, the human started to walk backwards. The hunter strode up to him and with his left hand grabbed the human by the neck picking him up. The hunter examined the human's face.

Eric looked around Johnson was no where to be seen.

"Private." yelled Eric.

There was no answer. He and his men headed back towards the entrance. They turned the corner and saw their quarry who was standing over the body of a man. The creature looked up at them, with their torches on they could clearly see the http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/8600000/AVP-Scar-predator-8633599-1024-768.jpg. It was big and bulky and wore a mask. It stepped towards them.
The creature roared although it was muffled by its mask it was still a mighty roar.
One of Eric's men had enough and ran towards the creature.

"No" yelled Eric.

The creature easily decapitated the man with a swipe of its wrist blades.
Eric was smarter though and grabbed his pistol and shot the creature in the chest. The bullet broke the skin but didn't do any major damage it wasn't meant to anyway. The creature strode forwards but suddenly it fell to one knee, it snarled in annoyance and then fell to the ground.

"This is Corporal Eric, get a verti-bird over here" said Eric through his radio.

"Understood, we'll be there within the hour" came the reply.

Eric and his remaining men grabbed the creature and dragged it out of the metro.
