Eco-Predator: A 'Chess' Distance

A Story by Abishai100

Eco-friend Amlan Satan camps in the Earth-rainforest only to become 'Acid-Man' (challenger to an alien-being with a dark pollution diary).

An eco-misadventure inspired by the iconic Predator series. Enjoy (and Happy Summer!),

A band of brothers, soldiers of the West, trekked into the rainforest of Earth to report on a strange local sighting involving a hideous and man-sized 'alien being' with glowing-eyes and razor weapons he'd been using to skin people alive and burn their dead bodies into ash, but nothing was confirmed, since this 'Predator' seemed only to hunt wayward campers inside the forests without any particular social role or celebrity status, even though they weren't necessarily vagrants/homeless. The soldiers were sent by the United States and the Predator-alien was apparently living rainforest area markings with messages about humans requiring 'punishments' for eco-pollution linked Earth global-warming issues. The soldiers prepared to engage this 'dragon-beast' hoping to wrought clues about this alien's intentions, were he real and not some random psycho/cult performing bloody-murders for some fanatical eco-terrorism gesture.

The soldiers from the United States carefully/methodically trekked through this dense and rich area of Earth rainforest, through waters and leafy terrain, in search of real signs of this alien 'Predator' whom they hoped was simply unreal and basically a human group/individual performing deranged acts of eco-terrorism!

However, the Predator was real. It had hailed from a faraway planet called Rai, and it crossed through a 'Stargate' dimensions portal on Mars before spying on human civilization from Earth's moon before finally settling upon Earth-terrain/lands as a stalking psycho-killer with a dark message. Whether or not this alien-Predator actually cared about eco-pollution was unclear, but it was certain he wanted human beings to feel ashamed/terrified in their own rainforest-backyards.

EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION: We've sighted the 'creature-being' inside the rainforest and it indeed has glowing-eyes and razor-weaponry capable of cutting-killing with extreme swiftness/terror, and we request some kind of helicopter support in this dense area before this 'dragon-beast' simply skins/murders all the valiant soldiers of our current rainforest-unit; report-ends.

A camper from Dartmouth (New England) who'd decided to engage his eco-conscious philosophy by spending some 'real-time' in the rainforest trekked to this very-same rainforest, unaware of the local-lore/terror and the underground/confidential solider emergency-transmission sent by the forlorn United States soldiers now trapped as hostages inside this Earth-area. This camper, Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow') was an eco-comics writer at Dartmouth and stumbled upon the skinned/dead bodies of the Western soldiers the Predator found/destroyed, alongside the eerie marked grounds-message, "Pollution yields passion which yields poison."

DIARY-ENTRY (Amlan Satan): Eco-activism is my great passion; I don't know what I'll 'achieve' in that rainforest, but I make Facebook-IQ comments about the values of posting ideations of social-work and human actions in this new era of global-warming oriented Earth-woes; I remain a Facebook diplomat before heading to this 'rich' rainforest.

Amlan Satan had a dream-vision before heading to that 'rich' Earth rainforest after completing that final diary entry. He dreamed during sleep he'd be required to carry with him into that rainforest some 'article' of great 'martial' self-defense, in the case that an 'omen-dragon' creature appeared to erase his contributions for eco-activism as punishment! When he woke from this very unusual message-dream, he decided to take with him to this special/unusual rainforest-camping trip a toy water-rifle inserted with a thin-glass tube in the shooting-piston (to be filled with hot-acid made from campgrounds basic chemical materials obtained from Dartmouth!).

While at the campsite, Satan (Amlan!) decided to go-ahead and make the hot-acid for his brought toy water-rifle and before he stumbled upon the Predator-alien's death 'souvenirs'/trophies in that rich rainforest, he'd already loaded/built his handy-dandy 'acid-gun' and was therefore/now a 'soldier' of fortunes. He became Acid-Man ('AM').

PREDATOR: How'd you track/shoot me down, Mr. Satan?
AMLAN: I 'smelled' your fury against humanity, I suppose, Predator!

PREDATOR: As you see, I lay here fallen before your eyes inside this rich forest, oozing my own 'alien' blood.

AMLAN: Why'd you terrorize this Earth, Predator?
PREDATOR: You can guess...my message was from the grave...remember my visage, Mr. Satan.

When Amlan returned to civilization, he blogged on Facebook, "I shot that eco-punisher in that rich rainforest with my 'acid-gun' and compelled the dragon-visitor to hail me as the Acid-Man I'd become...but I remain wary of what drew him to Earth...eco-poisons."
