The angered Predator, still on top of the Xenomorph, yelled back and in response aggressively slammed the side of its head into the ground, preventing its inner mouth from being able to pierce into him.

"Can you explain why you want to kill him besides honor?"
-
Stalker lets out another series of clicking noises and snarls from under his mask. "[i]...Challenging. Mighty. Horrendous. The ultimate hunt[/i].."
-
"Maybe it would be better if you two found a way to work together, the best honor is in working with who were once your enemies."
-
He scoffed and laughed at the idea. His laugh was strangely close to that of a human. "[i]...Impossible![/i]"
-
"I'm friends with the king of hell and one of my crew mates is a geth, a sapient machine race that drove my kind from our home world. I know what I'm talking about."
-
He finished laughing, but did not consider what she said. To him the idea of mortal enemies working together was still an impossible one to understand.
-
"Are you so blinded by what you know that you won't consider anything that you don't know?"
-
He stands up and walks over to her. Regardless of how he slightly slouched down because of his knee, he still towered over her. "[i]It...cannot be..[/i]"
-
"Then show me why it can't. He's killing for survival and you're killing for honor, try to reason why you two can't find a way to co exist."
-
He snarled in her face. "[i]Survival....no. It...is mindless. Killing is..all it knows.[/i]"
-
"I saw its mind, this isn't some normal thing you hunt. It's smarter then you think."
-
He turned to look at the Xenomorph. Indeed it was much more than an average serpent. Stalker refused to admit to it however.
-
"You're scared that if it's smarter then you think, it has a soul. That killing it means you've killed a one of a kind creature."
-
He shook his head and placed both hands on the side of his head, still denying it.
-
"Just accept it, you'll feel better....."
-
He looked at the Xenomorph, then his knee, and then back at her. Maybe she was right. Maybe she was wrong. It troubled him.

-
"[i]....Disgraceful.[/i]"
-
"And why's that?"
-
He avoided the question and looked down.
-
"So, are you going to make peace with him?"
-
Stalker spoke ominously. "[i]...Why.[/i]" His statement was very general but strong as well. It was practically everything he had to say on the matter condensed into one simple word.
-
"Because I believe you two could be very powerful if you worked together...."
-
"[i]...Powerful for...what reason.[/i]" To Stalker, there was no reason to become more powerful. If he were to fail in a hunt, it was because he deserved to die.
-
"To hunt stronger things. To you, failure means you can't try again. To me, failure means I learned what not to do."
