Chapter 2112 2.110 So the question is, who exactly is she?
After all, she may have already lost the chance to mutate a second time. Because, logically speaking, in the world of science fiction, vampires are also mutants.
"Captain, there are uninvited guests hiding outside the camp." The Chen sisters, who were in charge of 24-hour vigilance, immediately received a pop-up alert.
"Who is it?" Captain Nine-Tailed zoomed in on the uninhabited area framed by the pop-up window and used supercomputing power to precisely depict the mysterious guest in stealth mode.
"It's definitely a Predator."
The Predators are an alien race in the Predator universe and its derivative storylines, also known as the Yautja. This race evolved from their ancient ancestor, the Hish-Qu Ten (or simply 'Hish'), and possesses humanoid physical structures, enabling them to survive in Earth-like atmospheres. They acquired advanced technology by overthrowing the alien insectoid Amengi Empire, forming a unique hunting culture centered on honor: "The Yautja hunt neither prey nor allies, but all things."
Male Predators operate under a hierarchical system, divided into Unblood, Young-Blood, Blooded, Elite, and Elder ranks, with hunting Xenomorphs or other alien creatures serving as a rite of passage into adulthood. Their hunting follows strict rules: they only kill creatures capable of resistance, obtain trophies through ritualistic dismemberment, and activate self-destruct mechanisms on their gauntlets upon failure. Their hunting equipment blends high technology with primitive weaponry, possessing interstellar travel capabilities, and is equipped with an active camouflage system capable of invisibility, shoulder cannons, wrist blades, and microcomputers with self-destruct functions. This race has visited Earth for centuries; a special group, "Bad Blood," was banished for violating honor codes, while "Super Predators" are equipped with even more advanced weaponry.
For humanity, the most captivating aspect of the Predator society, with its strong sci-fi and primitive feel, besides its technologically far superior capabilities, is its green, fluorescent blood. It's widely believed that green blood can extend a person's lifespan far beyond the limits of their species. This has led to the assumption that Predators might be cold-blooded creatures, thus possessing a strong affinity for hot and humid environments, and that their armor is even said to have built-in heat-insulating mesh.
So here's the question: Are there any female Ironbloods?
The answer is obvious (?).
The mysterious guest who sensed being spied on through her hunting instincts was none other than the female Ironblood.
Based on the Predator's backstory, the Predators are an ancient matriarchal interstellar civilization.
The supreme leader, whose title is "Predator Queen".
In fact, like the Xenomorphs, the Predators are a purely and rigorous matriarchal society, with the Predator Queen as the supreme ruler of the entire planet. Of course, these powerful female hunters are not chosen because of their beauty. The Predator Queen is the most powerful and deadliest hunter among all the female Predators. Even more cruel and bloody is that the queenship is not hereditary. Every few years, the Predator planet holds a selection ceremony for the Predator Queen. Only the matriarchs of the most powerful clans can defeat all their equal competitors and be crowned queen, stepping over countless corpses.
Once a new queen ascends the throne, a group of female hunters from the tribe will be selected as her personal guards. They will only be responsible for protecting the queen and will not participate in wars or hunting.
"Wait." Further scan results astonished everyone: "It's human!"
"Could it be the legendary 'Little Knife' Noguchi Machiko?!" Wu Chen was incredibly excited!
The female Predator, Machiko Noguchi, was originally the commander of the human ranch planet Ryushi. Humans there raised a rhinoceros-like quadruped for export. Unfortunately, this colony was also the sacred hunting grounds where Predators had historically bred aliens and hunted them for rites of passage into adulthood.
On this day, a Predator ship from the Topknot Clan arrived on the planet Ryse with a captured Alien Queen to "seed" her (using the eggs laid by the Alien Queen to "seed" the Aliens). The adult Aliens would then use her as the ultimate prey for the "Blooding Ritual." However, the previous seeding attempt went awry; the Alien Queen laid a Queen's Egg, which hatched on a Ryse rhinoceros and secretly established an Alien nest on the colony. Later, a Predator hunting party led by Elder "Broken Tooth" landed on the colony to conduct the hunting ritual. Machiko Noguchi, relying on human technology and her personal combat skills, ultimately fought alongside Broken Tooth to kill the Alien Queen. However, Elder Broken Tooth was mortally wounded and died. Before dying, he was moved by Machiko's bravery and used his Alien blood to leave his tribal mark on her, completing the "Blooded" ritual and accepting her as an honorary warrior. Thus, Machiko became the only human left on Ruishi Star. She donned the Predator's equipment: wrist blades, clan-customized armor, a mask, shoulder cannons, and a plasma pistol. As an "honor hunter," she welcomed the newly arrived Predators and began a new bloody hunt.
After living alone on an alien planet for two years, Machiko Noguchi, once again alongside an underage Predator, captures and kills the Alien Queen, thus gaining entry into the Predator clan. However, the Predator's honor and clan rules cannot tolerate a human like Machiko Noguchi. The female Predator Machiko Noguchi repeatedly violates the Predator's rules and is gradually ostracized by the lower-ranking Predators. Under the dual pressure of human morality and honor, this human warrior ultimately betrays the Predator's honor, fighting alone against both the Predators and the Aliens, personally reclaiming the meaning of her existence…
Although she found her own "path of glory," her act of hunting her fellow Predators led her to become a Badblood (predator Machiko Noguchi, a female Predator, chose to eliminate the Predators on her planet in order to avenge herself and protect humanity). She spends the rest of her life in a three-way hunt between humans, Predators, and Xenomorphs.
Seriously, it couldn't possibly be "Little Knife" Machiko Noguchi, could it?
However, the timeline is incorrect.
The timeline of the latest Jurassic World 4 only extends to 2027.
At that time, humanity was not yet capable of interstellar travel, let alone colonizing other planets.
Therefore, it is clear that this female warrior with human, alien, and Predator genes is not "Knife" Machiko Noguchi.
So the question is, who exactly is she?
Or to put it another way, in the timeline of the Predator storyline, which humans have gained the Predator's approval?
In *Predator 1*, Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, a special forces major, outmaneuvered Predators from a clan of jungle hunters in the South American jungle, ultimately becoming the sole survivor and killing one of the Predators himself. While his actions didn't explicitly demonstrate the Predator's "approval," his status as the first human to kill a Predator earned him the Predator's respect, foreshadowing later plot developments.
Michael "Mike" Harrigan in *Predator 2*: The Los Angeles Police Department's deputy captain, in his duel with the Predator, not only defeats his opponent but also gains the approval of an elder of the Lost Clan. The elder presents him with an ancient trophy—a flintlock pistol engraved with "Raphael Adolini 1715," symbolizing the Predator's respect for human courage and combat skills, and hinting that the Predator has long been active on Earth observing humanity (this pistol was a trophy the Predator obtained in 1718 during a battle with a group of pirates).
Naru from *Predator: The Hunt* is an 18th-century Comanche Indian warrior who, in a life-or-death battle against the Feral Predator, a warlord clan that first arrived on Earth, successfully hunted him down using her intelligence, courage, and survival skills, earning the Predator's respect. The Predator's return suggests her story may have been passed down among her people, making her one of the very few legendary cases of a human gaining Predator recognition.
Later in the story, it is revealed that all three individuals are in cryogenic hibernation, awaiting the arrival of the new hunting season in "Predator: Lord of the Kill" to be awakened again.
Since they are human female Ironbloods, the Native American girl Naru is clearly the closest to the correct answer among the three.
But is that really the case?
