Trying to help the Marshalls escape the Land of the Lost, Enik uses the crystals within the Lost City to reach out through time. Instead of bringing something into the Land of the Lost to replace the Marshalls, Enik snares a Predator.
The Predator, plucked from a hunt on Earth, lashes out immediately, firing plasma balls around Eniks chamber. The kindly Sleestak is blown to pieces.
The predator tries to activate its comm units to find out where it is located. But the sound of the plasma fire has drawn more, primitive sleestaks.
The Predator hesitates, not certain what species it is facing. Then the Sleestaks stumble forward to grapple.
The Predator lashes out with wrist blades, decapitating the first attacker. The second Sleestak rakes it's own lobster-like claw ineffectively across the Predator's armor. It too is felled by the wrist blades- skewered through it's stomach.
The third Sleestak, shocked at the quick death of its comrades, steps back, hissing for assistance.
The Predator's plasma gun springs upm into action, finding it's target and firing.
Soon, more Sleestaks can be heard shuffling down the corridors of the Lost City. The predator activates its cloak and leaves Enik's chamber, intent on reaching the outside where it might be able to summon aid.
Avoinding the clumsy Sleestaks with relative ease, the Predator known as Scar reaches the main plaza of the Lost City. Still, it's wrist communicator fails to find any communication signal.
The Predator's pondering of it's situation is broken by the sound of a great behemoth approaching.
It is Alice, guardian of the Lost City. Alice smells the Predator's strange scent and begins searching the plaza for it.
Now the Predator is excited. Here is a trophy not seen in thousands of years. The predator decloaks, drawing a throwing disk from its belt.
Alice is unimpressed by the Predator's bulk and armor. She hisses and snaps at the air and lumbers forward. Scar hurls his throwing disk. It's many bladed arms slice into Alice's head, slicing back flash and gouging her thick skull. Alice bellow in rage and spins back, lashing out with her tail. Scar is sent flying.
Scarmbling to his feet, Scar draws his spear from his back and extends it as Alice roars in pain and starts toward him. With a mighty throw, Scar sends the spear right into Alice's gaping maw. Alien metal slices through palate and cleaves Alice's brain. The mighty guardian of the gate collapses to the courtyard.
Scar bellows in victory.
It is many days later. Scar inhabits the Lost City by himself. Outside, blizzard-strength winds whip around the Land of the Lost, threatenign to topple trees. In his chamber, Scar has collected a large collection of trophis: the skulls of Alice, Grumpy, Chakka, some strange, curly-haired human male, and a number of Sleestaks.
But the trophies have exacted a curse.
Strange glowing lights flyin the sky over the land of the lost, triggered by the imbalance left by Scar's hunts. The pylons scattered around the Land of the Lost glow and pulse almost in anger.
Scar waits patiently through the storm. Following his vanquishing of any creature of worth, he has dedicated himself to studying the Lost City and its strange crystal technology. The Predator has realized the secret of the Land of the Lost. But despite his imminent death in his temporal prison, Scar is still glad.
Here, the hunting was good.
