they say ignorance is bliss... i guess our unfortunate guard learned that the hard way. i wonder what would happen if the mane six meet our visitor, especially a certain rainbow-maned Pegasus if she sees the head of a pony on his wall... anyways, great chapter! keep it up, hope to see more soon!
2926237 mane six reactions based on my headcanon: Rainbow Dash: likely would try to ram him, and end up dead herself Fluttershy: Cower in fear of him Twilight Sparkle: ask him how how managed such a clean kill with a bit of fear in her voice Applejack: Look very pissed off at him Rarity: Horrified at the gruesome sight Pinkie Pie: Look at it and do/say something completely off topic (I don't really know what she'd do, but I wouldn't want to see the head of one of my buddies mounted on a wall)
I'll be brutally honest: this predator reads as being a pre-teen human having a tantrum, than a yautja blooded. Especially one of such a high rank, as you tell us.
Predators are creatures that 'speak' through their actions - they don't scream or cry out words in anger.
They track. They stalk. They hunt.
Their technology is also incredibly durable.
Realistically? He, your main character, would activate a beacon (note: as seen in supplementary material and games, yautja ruins thousands of years old can attract predator ships in as little as under six weeks, even when they've "moved on" from that part of the galaxy.
He would then most probably hunt the natives for trophies, pony or non-pony.
His mind-set, his train of thought, is too human. He's not a human, he's an alien.
A yautja wouldn't have approached the Equestrians - he would have hung back, camouflaged, used vocal mimicry to freak them out, and then hunt them when they scatter.
There would be a good chance he'd fight the Captains hand to hand like how his kind have since before in the movies, before taking their skulls.
If he was somehow defeated by Luna, the self-destruct suicide would vaporize a small city. If Canterlot is in range, that'd go bye-bye.
If you truly wish to capture the essence of a predator, convey his intentions through actions - show the reader that he's frustrated with a computer, like banging his first against the decking, not screaming, "Damn it!"
Perfect example? Aliens versus Predator: Requiem's introduction, when the Elder 'Cleaner' gets the distress call.
Youtube videos related to these - this includes gameplay and cut scenes, though Concrete Jungle is a very good example.
PREDATOR: Concrete Jungle. ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR 2 and its expansion, PRIMAL HUNT. ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR 3.
3053929 I see what you mean but honestly,the story is just begginging man. The chapter I'm working on right now ( which is about 50% complete) is more focused on the hunt. The main reason I'm not making him kill everything around him is because I'm focusing on the honour code that their species obeys you know.... Not killing beings that can't defend themselves, also if I made him communicate only through his actions, the story would be boring. I will agree though that I have made him have more of a human train of thought then that of a predator, which in the chapter I'm working on, and all future chapters that will come out, I WILL try my best to make him..... Less human.
Sorry that you didn't like the story, hopefully you will enjoy future chapters
alright everyone listen here. I'm very sorry that there has been no chapter lately but this is due to some family issues, school, and other annoyances. The newest chapter WILL more than likely be out by the end of the week and will be around 2500 to 3000 words ( Yes I know your probably thinking JESUS CHRIST one month and only 3000 words) I apologize.
But for now on ( since the issues have died down)) I will try my best to get chapters with at least 2000 words done by 2 to 3 weeks.
Thanks for your patience guys, and just a quick question: When I complete this story, would you want a sequel?
Luna was taken back by the hologram, never had she seen such advanced technology " Equestria..... our planets name is Equestria, same as the part of the planet you are on right now." she stuttered.
And here i thought that the predator was finished :/.
Well crazy ponies aside. Good chapter.
good chapter looking forward to the next one
He should throws his headless body at her and say "is this yours"
Blood, gore, fighting... This story is looking better and better. Keep it up.
Love the story. Keep it up.

Bitch, please! You can't kill him alone!

3320532 After reading that comment, your apology is of no use since I am freaking delighted to see you're coming back.
GREAT STORY!

No it's called Equis.
