Sounds of croaking, chirping, rustling and quiet roars sounded through the tropical space but the most quiet sound came from behind a bush. Night black eyes shun through the gaps of the green, looking straight through at a single animal. It resembled that of an Earth alligator, but with a short jaw and a much bulkier and bigger frame.
The leaves whistled behind the head that owned the dark eyes, but the man paid no heed to it, his eyes still fixed on the animal, waiting. The leaves exploded in a flurry, sending the man into a panic before being turned and looking into another pair of dark eyes reflecting his doom. A reptillian hand grabbed the man's neck.
SNAP.
The body fell limp, and Ruune released his grip.
"Pathetic..." He snarled quietly, inspecting the alien corpse. He had programmed the holodeck to create a hunter to hunt him as he did the same. Ruune looked ahead, seeing the alligator creature and wondered why the hologram had thought to think this would be a good place to ambush Ruune or where he might appear at.
Then he realized why, as the alligator had become very alert and aware of Ruune, as well as its comrades as more of the creatures appeared within the opening. Ruune growled to himself, he had made an amateur mistake.
Hunting usually meant the death of the being you were hunting, the hologram had seemed to take this part of the definition literal as oppossed to be still being alive after the hunt. In Ruune's eyes, even if he were to die in this program, the hunter had failed.
Blood pulsed through Ruune's veins as he stood there, calm as the creatures approached. Ruune had refrained from putting his armour specifications into the computer, therefore he had none save for the gauntlets he wore, the only thing stronger on him that his thick skin. He wore a simple shirt and trousers that had already looked like they were ready to tear and fall from his body.
At least he was armed, Ruune withdrew the scythe-like knife from the holster he wore along the back of his waist. The shing of metal slipping from it's confines was drowned out by the growing intensity of the growls and random snaps from the animals.
Ruune's eyes flickered across the approaching enemy, there were three and moving slowly. They were trying to make him back up, if there had been a wall behind him he would surmise they were merely pinning him into a good position for little room for him to run. However behind him, and around him was an entire jungle.
There were others.
The Hirogen's boots moved him forwards, avoiding the jaws that appeared from the bushes behind him. With surprising agility from a heavy being, one of the front creatures leaped up and Ruune intercepted the side of the animal's head with a powerful back-handed fist as he began to kneel.
With his bladed hand outstretched and the sudden plummet down towards the ground, the knife impaled into a second alligator creature right through it's jaw and into the ground.
Ruune let go of the knife's hilt and moved into a roll, avoiding a deadly dive from the third front animal, passing in front of the fourth that had been behind Ruune. They snapped at each other before their animalistic rage was centred once more on Ruune. The first creature he had hit with his fist, began to stir, joining it's brothers by their side, approaching Ruune for round 2.
