Predators: Honor and Friendship

The two yautja that had arrived came and goaded their rival were being stared at by all of the heroes of Equestria

The first one was about to attack, but he was suddenly held back by his ally.

"Hound? What are you doing?!" The first yautja asked

The bloody handed predator known as Hound said to his ally

"(No, we can't attack now, they are more large in numbers, it's best we wait.)"

Hound looked and saw that he had a point when he saw both Crucified and the entire allies of Equestria got in battle stances and thus, knowing full well that they would not last long against an entire army.

"For once, I couldn't agree more Phoenix."

With that, the two cloaked away, but not before Phoenix threw an extra medicomp supply at Crucified, who caught it as Phoenix said to Cross

"Be ready, we'll come."

Crucified, with a fearless look replied "I'm not afraid of you."

The Bad-Blood then cloaked away, leaving the ponies and their allies confused as to what just happened. Crucified turned to them and walked away, until Twilight began to follow him said

"Um, why didn't they attack like you said they might?"

Crucified turned to the purple alicorn and said "There.. 2... of.. them, and ....alot... of... you.... remember?"

Twilight looked behind her and realized that he had a point as attacking head on would have been suicide. As she looked on, she saw the hunter leaving the battlefield, heading into the EverFree while still grasping his still bruised and malnourished chest. She ran over to him and said while teleporting in front of him

"Where are you going?"

Crucified answered "To... deal... with... them... like... I ...told.. you?"

"But your hurt! You won't last with those kinds of bruises on you!" Twilight protested

"I...did...against....Berserker, I...can...do.. it..to..them."

The other ponies and the dragon came in and joined the purple alicorn with looks of concern.

"She has a point, your body looks like it's suffering from the stress of not eating or resting properly." Fluttershy said in pity.

"But...I'm...alive, I'll..be..ok." Crucified protested to her

"No you won't! With how malnourished and bloody you look, who knows what's going to happen if you continue like this." Rarity said with a concerned tone

Crucified saw the looks of fear and concern they gave him and decided that for now he should get some aid and his condition too fight was too severe thanks to his injuries on the Game Preserve and from his fight with Berserker and relented, saying

"Very Well."

The ponies and Spike smiled and helped the injured predator, who slowly began to black out.

Crucified was on a hospital table. He was slowly beginning to awaken as he saw he was not only on a medical table, but the wounds on his body were wrapped in bandages. As he slowly got up, he saw the door left of the room open and a nurse with a white coat, blue eyes and pink hair in a nurse outfit and hat with a little open button on her top, showing some of her cleavage, arrive with a clipboard. She saw the yautja-pony hybrid slowly awaken and blushed at his muscles and alicorn state and blushed at his well trained body.

She noticed the yautja was awake and coming to as she looked and said

"Are you ok? Your body was beaten really badly."

"What...happen...?"

The nurse said "You passed out and fell because of your wounds and from my records on your body, your deprivation of eating or drinking any food or drinks, how are you feeling?"

Crucified nodded and said "I...fine...where... am.. i..and..my...things..?"

"Your stuff is on that table next to you. You can take them when you are fully healed. Right now your in the Ponyville hospital."

"Thank you....?"

"....OH! My name is Nurse Redheart. By the way, you have a few visitors."

He looked at the door and saw the girls and Spike heading over to him, he said

"Hello...again.."

"How are you feeling?" Twilight asked him with a smile of relief

"Ok...but...hungry." Crucified responded, with his stomach even growling to further add to his statement

Cross blushed a green color on his cheeks while the girls and Spike only gave looks of amusement at his embarrassed form at how he was.

"Well, you are looking pretty ok. Plus you don't look too malnourished." Redheart said

"Where....are....they?" Crucified asked the girls

"Where is who?" Rarity asled

"The...Bad-bloods...we...saw." Crucified responded in pain

The girls only looked at each other with blank expression as Applejack said

"There comes the bad part."

"Me and all the other allies of Equestria searched for them all around the Everfree Forest where they hid, but they disappeared." Twilight answered

"Plus they kept dead bodies of some royal guards as scarecrows and hung them as a way of taunting us. One even had a symbol on his chest." Rainbow Dash said in disgust

Crucified only looked down as he knew what that meant, his kind always hung and flayed prey that were either weak or unworthy and thus were doing so to taunt them or insult them. As he managed to gain a piece of his strength, he said to them

"I....feel...ok... now. How..long...I...out..?"

"For a few hours." Spike answered

"Nurse Redheart, is he ok to go?" Twilight asked

The nurse pony replied "Well Princess, he looks pretty ok so far, as long as he eats something as his b-day shows signs of deprivation of nutrition and vitamins from no food or water."

"Thank you again." Twilight said with gratitude

The yautja pony nodded and put hus gear back on. He followed the ponies out of the hospital. As they walked out. They managed to reach the outside of Ponyville and saw the residents doing their own thing. Some even gave a few looks at the yautja as he was accompanied by the Elements of Harmony and the Hero of the Empire.

As they walked, they reached the pathway of an castle, with Crucified a little surprised at how this kind of dwelling would've been in a village like Ponyville.

"So...Cross?" Rainbow Dash asked as the group walked

He turned his attention to the blue Pegasus

"We told you what we are, but what are you?" Rainbow asked

Crucified responded "I..am..yautja."

"Yautja?" Applejack asked

"My..race...also...call...predator." he added

"Why?" Fluttershy asked

"Yautja...hunt...to...show....honor...and...strength.." Crucified said

"How did you get here?" Spike asked

"I...don't.. know." Crucified replied to the dragon

The group continued to the castle as he was asked by the girls and Spike questions of himself, this would be a big day for the Jungle hunter warrior.
