<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>1st Squad Chapter 2: El Demonio Invisible  </strong></span><br/><br/>As first squad finally approached the believed location of their objective thick jungle which had practically formed a wall of green seemed to suddenly to give way to an obviously man made clearing of the jungle's underbrush and smaller trees. But the scene that greeted 1st squad was anything but what could have been expected. At the center of the clearing stood a strange looking device (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/images/games/avpextinction/predators/predator10.jpg). Instead of the technicians and mercenaries who would have been expected to be working on the machine there was only emptiness and silence.<br/><br/>Beside the machine lay a pile of what looked to be the remains of several rifles and other guns that had been melted and destroyed under extreme heat. They were little more than useless slag, after a moment or two a single wet drop of liquid landed on Yui's shoulder. If any of the squad looked up they would find the source (http://media.cinemasquid.com/blu-ray/titles/predator/344/screenshot-lrg-05.png) of the drop of liquid.<br/><br/>As the bodies swayed there was a sudden explosion of noise! The distinctive report of a pulse rifle firing on full auto could be heard. Along with the terrified shouts of a man on the verge of losing his sanity. "Die you mother fucker!!" the voice shouted as the shots continued "Just fucking die!!" The shots grew louder and louder, anyone looking at their motion detector could see that there was someone or something on squad's right flank. Then almost as suddenly as the firing had started a new sound could be heard. It was only made once, and it seemed to be a mix of an electrical discharge and the hiss of steam. As soon as it sounded the pulse rifle firing stopped and a split second later a man (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs37/i/2008/283/1/6/Hyperdyne_Contractor_by_ChainsawDroid.jpg) fell through the brush into the clearing. A large hole blown straight through his chest. The firm THUD of something heavy landing just behind the body. Every motion detector in the squad confirmed it even though each marine's eyes did not. There was something in the area of the body!<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>3rd Squad Chapter 2: Its a Trap!! </strong></span><br/><br/>The door to the colony slowly began to slide open, on average it took roughly 15 seconds for a door of this size to open. It was a massively thick device, built to a pre-determined standard for all Weyland-Yutani colonies and designed to be able to protect any colony from any hostile environment, weather, or natural animals. As such the door, and the walls of the colony, had proved more than enough to insulate the building's inside from motion sensing devices, but as soon as the door began to open and there was now a crack of air between the door and the wall each person's motion sensors began to ping out the movement of at least 4 contacts behind the door.<br/><br/>Five seconds later the source of the motion was no longer in question. From just inside the colony the sound of three pulse rifles and a shotgun began to ring out as whoever was inside opened fire on the marines. The projectiles whizzed past the squad, one shot impacting with Cooper's body armor. While the man's vest did manage to catch the bullet and save him. The concussive force of the round was more than enough to knock the wind from anyone.<br/><br/>Suddenly from behind the sound of an electrical discharge could be heard, this sound was followed immediately by a loud whine. A bright red beam, no thicker in diameter than a dime, impacted against the back Mengsk's shoulder. Burning through his armor, through the skin and muscle below, and through the other side of his armor as if it nothing even there. While the beam was obviously powerful, it's lack of size meant that the wound was nowhere near fatal, or even extremely damaging. The weapon was obviously meant to kill in one well placed shot. Which had been meant for the Mengsk's head but for what ever reason had managed to miss.<br/><br/>
