SPACE
In the darkness of space, a Predator spaceship soars across
the stars.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
Due to the Hunter records Ive
translated, this is how the war
between the two species began.
INT. PREDATOR SHIP COCKPIT - ORBIT
A Predator sits at the controls of the ship. When a beeping
sound emits from the controls. The Predator presses the
buttons on the controls.
A hologram navigation screen appears in front of him. It
shows targeter aiming at a planet on the screen. The
targeter zooms in on the planet.
It shows an image of an Engineer temple, like on LV-223 in
Prometheus, with the targeter aiming at it. He starts
pressing buttons on the controls.
INT. PREDATOR SHIP MAIN ROOM - ORBIT
The Predators gather in a round room, like Predator 2, when
a hologram projects in the center of the room of the
Engineer temple. The Predators look curious.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Hunters intercepted an SOS from
the Engineers at least a hundred
years before the Prometheus
mission. At least around 1990.
The Lead Predator, lets call him DARWIN motions to the
Predators.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
Curious. They went to investigate.
2.
SPACE
The Predator ship flies toward the nearby planet.
EXT. UNKNOWN PLANET - NIGHT
The Predator ship lands on the planet slowly. A ramp lowers
from the ship and the large pack of Predators exit the ship
and look ahead of them.
They stare at the large Engineer temple, the round stone
temple with the skull atop. They look up at the human skull.
Even more curious.
The Predators approach the temple working like a SWAT team
toward the entrance with Darwin leading. They walk to the
opening in the temple and slowly walk inside.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE CORRIDOR - CONTINUE
The Predators enter the temple finding the tunnel like
hallways like in Prometheus. The Predators walk through the
tunnels looking around.
When the Predators find something in the hall. Its a dead
Engineer in a Space Jockey suit lying on the ground. The
Darwin examines the dead Engineer. Hes been dead a long
time.
POV: DARWIN VISION
The Predators vision stares at the dead Engineer. His
vision changes showing an x-ray under the suit showing the
albino, bald Engineer underneath.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
It is unknown if the Hunters were
aware of the Engineers or
encountered them before. Maybe the
Engineers were as just a mystery to
the Hunters as they were to us.
He continues to lead the group down the hall. When they find
a pile of dead humans, primitive humans like Neanderthals.
Piled up like a holocaust picture.
They examine the bodies. They all have holes in their
chests. The Predators are curious. So they continue on down
the tunnel.
They find a large door and slowly enter the room.
3.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE STATUE ROOM - CONTINUE
Its like the Ampule Room, a large round room with murals on
the 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 all
over the room. Darwin walks up to one of the eggs and
crouches down to examine it.
POV: DARWIN VISION
Darwins vision stares at the egg. His vision showing the
Facehugger moving inside.
The egg slowly hatches. A Facehugger slowly crawls out of
it. The Predator doesnt even flinch. When the Facehugger
leaps out of the egg and Darwin catches it in midair by the
tail.
The Facehugger swirms trying to escape the Predators
clutches. He stands up still holding the Facehuggeer. Then
throws it on the ground and crushes it under his foot.
The Facehugger is dead, but it left burns on his sandle, his
sandle is slightly melted with steam coming from it. The
Predator tilts his head to the left curious.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
It is led us to speculate that the
Xenomorphs have been around for a
long time due to the Xenomorph
murals in the Engineers temples
and that the ship on LV-426 was as
old as the ships on LV-223, 2000
years, give or take.
The Predator in the back sees something running pass the
room down the hall. He roars at his clan getting their
attention and pointing. The Predators head out of the room.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE CORRIDOR - CONTINUE
They run out of the room watching the creature disappear
around a corner, it appears to be running on fours and very
fast. The Predator run trying to follow it.
4.
INT. ENGINEER SHIP BRIDGE - CONTINUE
The Predators follow it into an Engineer ship bridge, the
round room with the control chair and the telescope
navigation, 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, but
not very well. His vision changes to many setting, but its
too late, the Alien pounces at him.
The Alien tackles Darwin while the other Predators back away
confused.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The other Hunters didnt intervene
because they couldnt make out what
the creature was on their vision
settings. They had never seen it
before.
The Alien stares at him and opens its mouth revealing its
mouth-tongue, but Darwin kicks the Alien off of him
launching 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 a
setting where he can see the Alien who appears in blue on a
red background and his targeter aims at the Alien.
His gun aims at the Alien and fires hitting the Alien in the
chest blowing him up into balls of acid. Acid blood splashes
everywhere burning holes on the floor.
The Predators are amazed. Darwin bends down and looks at the
body. 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, and
draw their spears. Darwin motions and clicks at the
Predators.
5.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
After examining the acid blood the
Hunter mustve warned them not to
get to close to the creatures and
tell them what vision to set their
helmets too.
They look around trying to locate the creatures.
POV: PREDATOR VISION
Their visions wipes changing from vision to vision until
they finally can see it, theyre surrounded by Aliens all
over the walls in the shadows.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
And so the war began.
The Aliens and the Predators clash. The Aliens leap off the
walls and attack the Predators while the Predators try to
defend themselves with their weapons.
Plasma bolts flying all over blowing the Aliens to pieces.
The Aliens impaling the Aliens with their tails. Predators
slicing with their wrist-blades.
Aliens slicing them with their claws. The Predators stabbing
them with their spears. Aliens tackling the Predators and
biting their heads with their mouth-tongues.
Its an epic battle with Aliens swarming all over the
Predators. The Aliens outnumber them a hundred to one but
the Predators have the upper hand.
The Alien numbers begin to dim, but a lot of the Predators
were dropped down to only five. The last five Predators slay
the last of the Aliens.
The surviving five stand in amongst the battle field,
surrounded by dead Aliens and dead Predators all over the
Engineers 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. He
rips off its head and holds up to his four brothers and
roars. His brothers throw their fists in the air and roar as
well.
6.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
After years of hunting humans and
others, this was one of the best
challenge they had. They wanted
more.
Darwin walks over to the control panel of Engineers ship.
He presses the buttons on the telescope like machine in the
chair.
When they see holograms of the Engineer appears in the seat.
The hologram of the Engineers suit opens and he steps out
of the chair.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Hunters, like us, were able to
activate the Engineers holo-log
records.
The Predators watch it all happen. The Engineer walks to the
entrance of the room where he meets with more hologram
Engineers.
They Engineers walk to the other end of the room with
Predators just standing their curious as the Engineers leave
the room.
The Predators are about to follow them out of the room, but
when they reach the exit, they come back with Neanderthals
who seemed to have been captured by the Engineers.
They escort them like they are in a slave labor camp. They
escort them to the other end of the room where the other
Engineers entered and exit. The Predators follow.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE CORRIDOR - CONTINUE
The Predators follow the holograms back into the hall where
the Engineers escort the humans to the room where they found
the eggs.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE STATUE ROOM - CONTINUE
The Predators enter the room and watch the Engineers place
the humans in front of the Alien eggs as the eggs hatch and
Facehuggers attack them.
7.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Engineers mustve brought
primitive humans to the planet to
breed them with the Aliens.
Probably for bio-weapons.
The holograms change like a disturbance in the feed, the
Engineers disappear and just shows the humans on the ground
with the dead Facehuggers next to their heads.
The Predators continue to watch the holograms. When human
bodies start convulsing, when the Chestbursters explode from
their chests.
The Predators are intrigued. The Engineers enter the room
and pick up the Chestbursters and place them in little
cages.
While the other Engineers pick up the bodies and carry them
out in the hall. The Predators follow.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE CORRIDOR - CONTINUE
The Predators follow the hologram Engineers out into the
hall 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 the
hall. When theres another disturbance in the feed where the
Engineers disappear.
And two Engineers appear running from the Xenomorphs. One
Engineers gets caught by an Alien and bites into his head
killing him.
While the other Engineer gets away. The Predators follow the
last Engineer out of the hallway back into the ships
bridge.
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 readies
for take off, the hologram solar system showing all around.
When an Alien crawls up to the chair, opens his mouth, and
shoots out his tongue into the Engineers head. The
navigation and the holograms disappear.
8.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Engineers holo-logs gave them
everything they needed to know
about the Xenomorphs.
INT. ENGINEER TEMPLE STATUE ROOM - NIGHT
The five Predators each pick up an Alien egg very carefully,
one at a time and carry them out of the room.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Hunters took the Xenomorph eggs
back to their ship. All of them one
at a time.
Darwin notices something he hadnt before. He saw an egg
behind the statue in a small, closet like room. Darwin walks
over to the egg.
POV: DARWINS VISION
His vision changes to see the inside of the egg. The
Facehugger looked different. This one had sharp parps on its
back. A Queen Facehugger.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Predator didnt know what the
creature inside this egg was, but
he knew it was different from the
others.
Darwin takes the egg.
EXT. UNKNOWN PLANET - CONTINUE
The Predators carry the eggs to the ship, walk up the ramp
and enter the ship. The ramp rises and closes. The ship
hovers off the ground and takes off for space.
INT. PREDATOR SHIP STORAGE AREA - ORBIT
The eggs sit in a small empty room and Darwin presses a
panel on the side and a door slides down closing the room
keeping the eggs secure.
9.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
They may have a race of Aliens, but
they have so little. They needed to
make more.
INT. PREDATOR SHIP MAIN ROOM - ORBIT
The Predators stand around in the main room clicking and
roaring at each other.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Predators mustve speculated
that there is some way to make more
of the Aliens. They might not have
known how, but they wanted to find
out how. They decided to test them,
like scientists.
SPACE
The Predator ship flies through space. When it zooms faster
like light speed across the stars.
EARTH ORBIT
The Predator ship comes out of hyperspace into Earths
orbit.
MONTAGE: HUMAN ABDUCTIONS
We see humans all over the planet, picked up and grabbed by
the Predators, taken in the shadows from alleys, on empty
roads, fields, woods, anywhere they couldnt be spotted.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
They took humans from all over the
planet, enough for them to test on
the eggs.
SPACE
The Predator ship leaves Earth and lightspeeds through
space.
10.
INT. PREDATOR SHIP STORAGE AREA - ORBIT
In the storage room with the eggs sit the humans theyve
abducted, the eggs are hatched and the Facehuggers are on
their faces. One, the Queen Facehugger.
The door opens and the Predators pick up the bodies and drag
them out of the room.
EXT. UNKNOWN PLANET 2 SKY - DAY
The Predator ship flies above a jungle planet with the
humans theyve captured plummeting from the sky. Parachutes
open and they slowly descent into the jungle.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
They found an unknown planet to
test the Xenomorphs and dropped the
hosts onto it.
EXT. UNKNOWN PLANET 2, JUNGLE - DUSK
More Predators, led by Darwin, have already arrived on the
planet searching through the jungle. They find the bodies of
the hosts with holes in their chests.
They continue their search when they notice the area begins
to change. The trees begin to show Alien webbing all over
the area. They even encounter Alien eggs.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
Upon arriving, they discover that
their theory was correct. There was
a way to make more eggs.
They continue searching. When the Aliens come out of the
webbing and attack the Predators. They begin fighting the
Alien beasts.
They fight them off one by one with their weapons as the
Aliens 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 avoiding
and fighting the Aliens as best they can until they find
something they didnt expect.
Staring in front of them, is an Alien Queen, dangling from
her egg sack. They watch her lay another egg. Her head
extends from her head like a turtle and hisses at them.
11.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
Their discovery of the Queen was
everything they hoped for. A
creature to breed more of the
ultimate prey for them.
When theyre surrounded by more Aliens. They fight off the
Aliens with their weapons slaughter them as the Queen roars
in anger.
Most the Aliens have been wiped out, but the Queen is mad.
She disconnects from her egg sack and stands ready to
attack.
One Predator aims his shoulder canon at the Queen, but
Darwin props the gun down nodding no. Instead, Darwin stands
in front of the Alien Queen.
He aims his gauntlet at the Queen and fires a cord at the
Queen that wraps around her neck. He pulls hard on the Queen
as she resists.
The rest of the Predators fire their tow lines that wrap
around the Queens arms, legs, tail, and torso. The Queen
resists but it is no use.
With the Predators combine strength, they pull her down to
her knees. They strap the Queen down and drag her across the
jungle back toward their ship.
INT. PREDATOR SHIP, QUEEN CHAMBER - ORBIT
The Queen is strapped down in a large room and Darwin stands
among the other Predators. He throws his fist in the air and
roars, the others do the same.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
They have what they wanted. They
have the source of the ultimate
prey.
MONTAGE: BEGINNING
The Predators have converted the room into a chamber with
the Queen in a stockade where she has a grown a new egg
sack, with eggs laid onto a conveyor belt.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
(MORE)
12.
DR. VINSON MARLOW (contd)
They began breeding the Xenomorph
eggs and started their Xenomorph
safaris.
The Predators meet up with another tribe, Greybacks tribe,
the tribe from Predator 2.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
They even did deals with other
Hunter tribes trading Alien eggs
with them.
Darwin and Greyback shake hands and exchange Alien eggs.
This would Explain the Alien skull on the ship in Predator
2.
The Predators abduct more humans, breeding Alien eggs, and
hunting them on barren, unpopulated planets. Predators all
over fight the Aliens, including Greybacks tribe.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Hunters continued to abduct
more humans using them as hosts to
breed the Aliens and hunt them on
other planets.
The Predators are shown marking themselves with symbols on
their foreheads with the acid blood of their Alien kills.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
The Hunters began a tradition with
the Xenomorphs, where when they
make their first kill, they would
mark themselves with the
Xenomorphs acid blood.
Colonies are shown being built on other planets, a Predator
ship flies above the colonies dropping pods onto the planet
and colonies become impregnated.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
After the human race expanded
across the stars. The Predators,
every 15 years, to not draw
attention, would drop the eggs on
the colonized planets to cocoon the
colonists and would begin more
safaris.
13.
The Predators continue to battle the Aliens from generation
to generation.
DR. VINSON MARLOW
(voice over)
So it began, the first encounter
between the Xenomorphs and the
Hunters. The origin of their war.
For every war, has a beginning. Dr.
Vinson Marlow, October 3, 2185. End
of report.
