Chapter Text
Another hunt was yet to be prepared, the last one wasn't as challenging as it should have been. Humans are made of public images and status, they cower and squirm like the most insignificant maggots there are when put to test, of course, that didn't matter for the trio, all they wanted was to have fun and rip some spines off.
They were in Dubai when word spread of a merciless killer, the human news made a big deal of him, got him the attention he sought, and that kept him going to the point he started to charge for the kills, pathetic, but just what they were looking for.
Spotting the damn idiot wasn't hard, he must have thought he was a genius, standing on a rooftop with nothing to shield himself, preparing to shoot someone in the crowd. Everything was going fine until Tracker reported another shooter a few buildings away, now this was unexpected, but not unwelcome. This shooter wasn't bad blood, they could tell, and he wasn't from this country either, probably worked for the local army, or some secret organization, humans loved making these up.
But what surprised more about him was that he was completely and utterly alone, no mission channels were set, no communication with any team, not a single soul knew this human was here and what purposes he had.
Until he set his aim to the mercenary's head...well, that was expected but surely not going to happen. He wasn't bad blood but maybe this time they could make an exception, "..Flash them and bring both to the ship", Berserker was always the one to pick the finest game for them, everyone had a pick, sure, but Berserker always knew what he was doing. Satisfied with the affirmative grunts of his partners, he glanced one last time at the sniper, who had his finger tightening on the trigger, just before Falconer stood behind him, his large hand mere centimeters from the human's shoulder.

Everything according to the plan, he just had to pull the trigger and leave, this bastard killed so many people, many lives put to waste and this only made his blood boil even more with anger. Just as he was pulling the trigger, he heard a crushing sound from behind, someone knew he was here.
Wasting no time, he rolled even further from the threat and came back to back with the parapet wall, looking around frantically while pulling his pistol from the thigh holster, he couldn't see anyone, but he heard something, but he didn't hear the mercenary's gun shooting either.
Looking around carefully now, still clutching the pistol for his life, something dashed in the corner and finally revealed itself, it was huge, had green mottled skin, a terrifying mask and even worse, it had armor, very good armor, his bullet didn't even scratch the surface of it.
That had apparently had angered whatever that thing was, as it charged for him, one of its hands holding some kind of metal equipment, he really didn't want to know what it planned to do with it.
Making a run for it, he ducked and tried to sweep kick the creature, being so big, it only lost its balance briefly. Taking advantage of that, sniper used his own weight to topple the thing down, quickly getting out of the way as it tried to grab his clothes. Getting up and picking the pistol from its holster again, the thing didn't get up, instead, looking at another direction, weird noises coming from its throat as it got up again.
Looking in the same direction the big green thing did, there was another just as big thing with no one other than the mercenary hanging off its shoulder, he was limp and dangling as the thing that held it seemed to talk and gesture to the green one.
There were two of them. Eyes widening and breath catching in his throat, Sniper let out the tiniest "Fuck." And ran for the edge, he had a plan of escaping this building before the two big monsters came and he was glad for that,all he had to do was jump into the dumpster down below and then run off to the crowd and disappear, seeing as none of the two big shits didn't move, he jumped with ease.
Only to be caught mid-air by the back of his tactical vest. Panicking he squirmed and kicked at nothing the best he could,he didn't see anyone,but the dumpster was right below him,all the efforts were in vain as he was thrown back to the middle of the rooftop area, surrounded now by THREE of them, the last one was the biggest, his skin was solid black, his mask had something's mandibles attached to it and it looked overall angry.
The three things started to make the strange clicking noises to one another again, Sniper figured they were speaking, occasional huffs and roars brought him back to reality, taking the hunting knife from its calf sheath, taking a deep breath, he tried stabbing the big one, and it sounded just as surprised as he did, surprise quickly turning to anger as he grabbed Sniper's hand and swatted him back down, as Sniper looked up again he was met with a blinding white flash and passed out from the intensity of it.
"Stop playing and get them both to the ship.", Berserker growled, stepping over the unconscious human and making his way to the ship, Tracker and Falconer trailing after him, each holding a human over their shoulders.
