FanFic Series- Based on A Dan Trachtenberg Film - Predator Badlands (2025)

Master List Introduction

Time In Movie: Before - 33:58 - 45:20

Part Two, Part Three, Part Four

—————————————————————————

Notes: This story is made up and inspired by the movie. It’s also a self insert story but still story driven and character driven. I have some self control. While mainly around the reader. Of course this story is a little different since it’s not Transformers.

Here the main character/reader is another android like Thia and Tessa. But a rogue one. Not much is known about their back story but I’ll give snippets to help give an idea. Decided to make their gender ambiguous. I mean they are robots but with feelings why not. I chose the name Helix because ‘space’ and thought it fit with the other main character's name. You can agree or disagree if you like. It’s up to me anyway.

Like my other works, these chapters will be long. And yes, will have some Dek x reader. If you don’t like just skim over or don’t read. Though no real smut in this story just mostly flirty jabs and mostly wholesome moments with the team. Well as much as I can add in of course. (Also if you somehow still haven’t seen the movie, please watch it. It’s so good and we really need a sequel!)

This first chapter is really short and is suppose to just give us an idea of the character we’re following mostly. But trust they will be explored more in the later and longer chapters! Hope you all enjoy and see you for the next chapter!

Before

Genna - The Death Planet

-Kalisk Destruction on Muthurs Team)

Hour- (Earth Time) 0600am

Dawn doesn’t rise. Just yet. The destruction was left for what appears like days. The only form of light coming from the vehicles lights that shines over the destruction. Upon the wreckage crawls around a little lizard creature. Chittering and sniffing the air. Its purple eyes blinked at a certain droid that catches its attention.

Crawling on top of the back of another broken Android. Parts of their legs and arms are seen at the side. The lizard sniffs and sits for a moment. Slowly blinking.

SNATCH

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…” The lizard screamed as it’s thrown after a hand grabbed it. The hand coming from the Android once beneath it. With a few wiring sounds. The Android slowly leans up by one knee they had. The other missing the rest of their thigh. Having both arms but missed a hand. Groaning softly, kneeling up the best they can.

The light only gives a form in their silhouette.

Sitting more against the floor now. The Android reaches towards their hand and leg. Torn apart by the creature from days ago. Looking over at one of the vehicles a bit far. Leaning down back to the ground. They crawl. Holding back a pain seen in their eyes , but not of their lost limb. But in thought.

Making their way closer, they’re able to get a table with a soft thud after hoisting themself up onto the table. Grabbing a couple tools, holding the side of their hand in their teeth as the other hand is still connected, using the laser tool to connect their hand to their wrist.

Their eyes showed better in the added light.

Giving a small hum. Watching closely as they repair themself. They use the same tool to attach their leg to the part of the thigh once again. Once done, thanks to the small light in a vehicle with whatever power it has left.

Try to use the other tool to heal the scar on their cheek. One that goes across their cheek at a downward angle towards their lips on their right cheek.

Unable to fix it. The tool broken. Letting out a deep sigh. They glance at the window in front of them on the table. Staring at themself thanks to the small light and the darkness outside. staring at themself. Half of their form seen. Having wavy long hair to just their shoulders, their uniform dark-grey.

Their body though not clear on gender. Shows a figure of slim and muscle. Chest heaved slightly. The faint sound of two women can be heard in their head. Closing their eyes quickly as if scared, but also certain as they thought about the memory.

“Come on you two! Today is the day!!” A young womans voice squealed as the memory faint but at the same time so clear. The young woman in the memory having short blond hair and a wide smile. Another following her with a calmer and more soldier like walk. But a smile formed on her lips as well. Slightly taller. The two looking like they can be twins.

But the woman glanced back at them with a certain look. Her lips firmin almost a frown. The other, the happier one. Looked back at the two when the other looked forward once more.

The young woman going to grab the twos hands with her in the middle. Continuing on talking about the mission and everything. Soldiers then seen beyond the light of the memory, the three taking the lead. The Android themself, turning their head towards the side of the vehicle driving a couple feet from them. Not looking so damaged until a sudden roar caught their attention in the flashback.

Shaking slightly from the memory. The Android slowly and steady gets off the table. Steadying theirself, taking slow steps in the small space. Their head then slowly turning towards the sun, dawn rising very slowly.

The sun shinning at their eyes. Tears seemed to almost form in their eyes but quickly stopped themselves. Turning their head away for a moment. Looking forward once better. Walking forward, they follow the now faded tracks by the Kalisk. The wind making it harder when looking at the grass to the sand.

In the light more clear. Their uniform like a mix of the females and males uniform. Dark grey, short sleeves. Walking with a belt carrying two guns. A dagger. And a larger shooter, hands clenched following their current leading trials.

Their search starting.

—-------------------------------

Stepping through the forest, their eyes start to wonder. So too do their mind. Walking deeper, they sit down. Soft whirring of their body hear, trying to not overdo their system. Chest heaving slightly. Their hand rising to their cheek feeling the scar left on it.

Their eyes closing. Returning to the flashback.

The more cheerful Android, taken and thrown by the Kalisk! Grabbing a weapon, the Android shot at the creature and tried to make haste. Only for the other, more serious Android to stop her.

“We must stop the Kalisk!” She stated.

“You fight your monster! Thia needs us!-” SLAP! The sterner female Android placed a harsh slap on them suddenly. Causing them to pull away from their thoughts from the sudden memory

A small gasp escaped their lips in the present. Their eyes traveled left and right. “What if…” They started. Asking themself.

Seeming to be focused on almost daydreaming. A worm tree sneaking to their side. Only to be slapped by the Android while they continued looking forward. The creatures whimpering softly. Only to soon get angry. It then about to strike with its mouth opening, preparing to strike within the second. Only for them to stab it from under with a long wide dagger.

Standing as they pull the dagger out.the creature falling flat against the floor instead of slowly pulling back from the damage. The Android then walking forward.

About to walk deeper into the tree worms territory, the sun nearly set. But at the far end, the opposite side of them. Their head turned quickly. Their eyes visions scanning the far away area, birds seen a bit closer as well. But there are signs of three life forms. But of what? Maybe the other two woman? But the third?

Their eyes almost becomes hopeful. A smile almost threatening on their lips.

“Worth a shot.” They say suddenly. The hope in their chest making their inner self come out a bit. Making haste their foot steps in front of the other. Turning on their heels towards the very direction. Using their sensors in their ears. They’re able to use the technology to hear from afar in that very direction.

The language different to one of english. Using the world translation. They’re able to make out the last few words. Hearing a foreign voice but doesn’t slow their run.

“I will feast like the Kalisk! My enemies food is mine Tool!” A loud voice in a different language yelled. Causing their head to turn in a pace.

“It’ll actually really bad for Yautja you see. Because in your special system of the-” The voice was cheerful. Quick wit and filled with enthusiastic facts. Thia. Without hesitating, making quick haste towards that very direction. Running around the large field to the very direction.

It had to be her!

----------------------

Night (42:40)

Sneaking closer to the group, it completely night once more. The Android sneaks crawls behind a rock. Watching.the group carefully.

Around a fire were three. ‘A Yautja?’ They though to themself. ‘Why didn’t my scanners pick him up. I’m more damaged than I realized.’ It must be that. But then they noticed a small creature. A pup, there isn’t really any record of it on their reports or scans from days before. Looking to the left. ‘Thia!”

They almost jumped with joy. But their smile lowered when they saw her state. Yet she continues to smile. So her….

They continue to listen, keeping themselves hidden behind the large rock.

“I think she’s marking you. She wants you to be apart of her clan.” Thia stated with a smile, The Yautja growling.

“I have no clan!” This perked their interest. Though they didn’t understand why. Suddenly their system starts to malfunction. The sound of another, same voice as Thia only, a strange tone added to it caused them to stop listening.

‘I only accept her request because of you! But if we die! It’s on you!’ the voice said in the Androids head. Not realizing they were making noise.

Kneeling, from behind a large shadow appears from their back. A bright red sword in claw. About o attack until Thia was quick to grab the Yautjas other wrist. “Wait!!!!” Thias voice is heard. The light from the sun casting little light. The Android turned their head towards the two, Thia looking closely. “It can’t be..”

Thia spoke in a soft whisper.

Standing tall, the Androids face is seen from the light of the fire. Their eyes sharp as they stare down at Thia. her smile only growing when she finally speaks. The Yautja and small creature both letting out a small growl.

“Helix?......”

“.....Thia.”

Juji is Mallacht’s only son. Mallacht ended up siring many offspring in his life, but ironically he ended up with only one son who was banished from his dame’s clan. His dame died in childbirth and with his piebald pattern Juji was seen as a bad omen, the clan leader was prepared to perform a quick mercy death before the clan’s elder matriarch took him in and called for Mallacht and Cwtch to retrieve the infant. Mallacht was quick to retrieve his son and spare him from the trauma he went through. Cwtch quickly took on the role as adoptive dame and matriarch of their little family made sure Juji knew his dame’s clan and kept in touch with the elder matriarch. Now Juji sticks out like a sore thumb (he mostly inherited his mother’s desert genetics), but his appearance doesn’t hinder his ability to socialize and roughhouse with the other jungle and forest young bloods who enjoy testing out their strength against the badlands yautja.

A freak accident when Juji was a youngster cost him both his legs. His quick thinking saving the other youngsters that had been exploring the jungle environment and learning survival skills under the watch of their dames. Mallacht had tried to keep his son from injury as best he could but the youngster’s stubbornness and refusal to leave the other youngsters cost him. Upon learning Juji’s sacrifice, Mallacht’s adopted guild and healers banded together to make the youngster a pair of bio mechanic legs that could be updated and configured to his body and needs as he grew into adulthood.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

I’m not prepared for the emotional trauma of Predators Badlands. So I had to make Mallacht the best sire ever and create a young blood character around Dek and Kwei’s age range. Those boys need an emotional support yautja friend.

Bonus: that friend has a protective sire, caring ooman matriarch, and a weird earth guard pet who would readily welcome yautja teen slumber parties in their territory and home.

za'tour

shes a lone hunter like most yautjas , unable to carry pups so she used her anger and frustration into something she can do.
