Predator If It Bleeds 3

"Movement!" Rosartz said. "Level two, zone four."

"Tew!" Halley said. "Got movement coming your way.Can you see-

"Holy shit!" Hanning shouted.

"Then the shooting began. Halley switched visual feed into her visor from her squads' bodycams, so she saw everything that happened next. Confusion, chaos, shooting, horror. And blood. Hanning from Tew's point of view, sweeping her com-rifle up and around and unleashing a hail of laser fire, peppering the bulkhead and blasting electronics into a starscape of exploding points. Rogers ducking down and rolling beneath the laser burst, then rising and being pinned to the wall by something penetrating her chest. Her suit hardened into protective armor, but not fast enough. She opened her mouth to scream and blood filled her visor."

"Tew staring, open-mouthed, terrified, as Hanning closed on him and passed by, shouting over her shoulder for him to hurry, focus on her, run so that- Hanning's vision blurred as she was plucked from the floor and smashed into the ceiling. Her bodycam flickered, then focused again as she struck the ground. Above her, a shimmering shape manifested as if from nowhere. It stood astride her chest, raising one foot and bringing it down onto
her face, again and again. Her bodycam gave out."

"Tew saw, and through his point of view, Halley saw as well. The Yautja was huge, head brushing the ceiling even as it stooped and stomped on Hanning. Sparks of white light sizzled across its armor. It wore bandages around its upper arms and wide thighs, and its traditional helmet was missing, revealing deep welts across its cheeks and around its throat. Tubes hung from these wounds. Its forehead was dotted with sensor points. If it was sick, it didn't appear to care."pg.27-28 chpt.1

"They've gone," Halley said. It was not the first time she'd lost a marine on a mission, but it was the first time such a loss had felt so hopeless, so wasted. The Yautja had crushed the three of them, like grinding insects beneath its feet."pg.29 chpt.1
