Alan "Dutch" Schaefer: Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer is the sole survivor of the mercenary team hired by the U.S. military and CIA dispatched to Central America in 1987. Schaefer was a specialist in guerrilla engagements and had been posted in both Da Nang and Cambodia during and just after the Vietnam War. Schaefer attended boot camp in 1967 and has a brother in the NYPD. Prior to events in Central America, Shaefer leaves the U.S. Army and sets up his own mercenary or private military contractor rescue team. The team have seen operations in Afghanistan and more recently Berlin, Germany. Schaefer is determined to keep his team as rescuers and will turn down any 'hit' operations. He was hired by the U.S. Army and CIA on a mission in Val Verde, under the belief that presidential cabinet members of Guatemala were kidnapped by guerrilla forces. After completing the mission the Predator kills his entire team off one by one until he is the only one left and has Anna airlifted out of there making him and the Predator the only ones left in the jungle. After setting up many traps, making improvised weapons, and covering himself in mud finding out that the Predator uses Thermal Vision to track him when the Predator finally attacks it takes everything he has to take down this Predator in which he succeds when luring him into a trap and nearly crushing him with a log. The beaten Predator then activated a self-destruct device for its suicide and to kill Dutch; however, Dutch survived the explosion and is rescued by the rescue helicopter that saved Anna. Shortly after being rescued in Val Verde and giving his account of the creature he fought in the Jungle he disappears without a trace.

''Can the original Predator fighter take on his futuristic counterpart however. One who is also a mercenary, but has faced against THREE SUPER PREDATORS?''

Royce: Royce did a job in the Philippines four years prior that his later employers would expect from him. Royce's last job before he was captured in a war-torn part of Africa. Later, he is betrayed by Bapoto and stops his would be killer. Three days later, Royce found the village he was supposed to slaughter and scouted it out. While he was scouting out the village, Royce noticed one of the mercs working for his target was someone who he worked with in the past and knew he wasn't a slouch. Even with sniping not being his specialty, Royce started to pick off some of the soldiers and mercs to draw them away from the village. Royce continued to bait the mercs out of village under the pretense that he was an amateur sniper out for the bounty on their employer. After he got the mercs out of the village, he returned to kill his target's personal security, and destroy the village by burning it and destroying the jeeps as well. Royce then attacked his target's fortified position killing everyone beside his target. The man attempted to barter with Royce and gave him the "speech on good and evil" before Royce killed him.He later wounded a mother in the same building that he just slaughtered his target. As he pondered on whether or not to save the woman, Travis and his men returned. Royce then took the opportunity to take out as many of Travis' men while they were grouped together. Royce later chased Travis down and killed him as a hunter watched from the shadows. Royce awoke in the middle of a free fall with a strange parachute strapped to his back. He comes across several others from different backgrounds that were dropped off.

 * Has Experience in the Vietnam War
 * seen operations in Afghanistan and more recently Berlin in his Mercenary Team

 * Along with Isabelle is one of the two Survivors of the Game Preserve

Melee Weapons
When both of these men fought against their Predator both men used a melee weapon of sorts to even things out a close range.

Dutch Wielded against the Predator

A Improvised Spear

Meanwhile Royce fought against the Super Predator with

A Combat Knife and a Predator Axe

Close Range
These two Merc's always carried a pistol as a backup weapon.

Dutch carried with him

The IMI Desert Eagle Royce carried with him
 * Clip Size: 9 Rounds
 * Caliber: .357 Magnum
 * Weight: 1,766 g (3.9 lb)
 * Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt
 * Effective Range: 50 m

The M1911A1
 * Clip Size: 7 Rounds
 * Caliber: .45 ACP
 * Weight: 1,105 g (2.44 lb)
 * Action: Short recoil operation
 * Muzzle Velocity: 825 ft/s (251 m/s)

So-Pro The Warrior's Edges
I give my edge to the M1911A1.

Both guns fire a powerful round and while the Desert Eagle has more rounds then the M1911A1. The M1911A1 is more lighter, and has a lesser recoil then the Desert Eagle.

 Edge Royce 

Mid Range
For when things got up close and personal both of these men relied on the power of shotguns

Dutch fought with

The Mossberg 500 Royce used this shotgun as his main Weapon
 * Feed System: 5+1 to 8 rounds; internal tube magazine
 * Caliber: 12 Gauge
 * Action: Pump-Action
 * Weight: 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg) to 7.5 (3.4 kg)
 * Muzzle Velocity: 403 m/s (1,325 ft/s) for 12-gauge
 * Effective Range: 40 m

The AA-12
 * Clip Size: 32 Round Drum Clip
 * Cartridge: Frag-12 rounds
 * Action: Full-Auto/API blowback
 * Weight: 7.3 kg
 * Muzzle Velocity: 350 m/s (1,100 ft/s)
 * Effective Range: 200 m (FRAG-12 ammunition)

So-Pro The Warrior's Edges
I easily give my edge here to the AA-12.

The AA-12 is fully automatic compared to the pump-action shotgun. Has more rounds compared to the Mossberg with a 32 Round Drum Clip, and Fiees Frag-12 Rounds. Which easily beat out the Mossberg in every way.

 Edge Royce 

Long Range
To engage their enemy from Long Range both men used a Assault Rifle to engage from Long Range

Dutch used this gun as his main weapon of choice

The AR-15/SP1 Another Weapon was his
 * Clip Size: 30 Shots
 * Caliber: 5.56 NATO
 * Action: Direct impingement / Rotating bolt
 * Muzzle Velocity: 975 m/s (3,200 ft/s)
 * Effective Range: 400–600 m (avg 547 yd)

Custom Explosive Tipped Torque Bow Royce meanwhile after his Battle with Berserker started using
 * re-curve bow
 * enough strength to send arrows completely through trees
 * explosive tipped arrow and spear by removing the explosives from his M203 ammunition

The Plasma Caster
 * 180px-Royce_two_months_later.jpg range energy projector capable of guiding armor-penetrating plasma bolts at distant targets
 * weapon's bolts explode in a burst of plasma shrapnel that damages other enemies near the point of impact
 * weapon's attack range is greater than the Predator's visual range
 * There are two main ways of firing a plasma caster that have been seen in the films.
 * One is a faster, but more explosive and more unstable gold-colored charge. The other is a safer, but slower and less explosive blue-colored charge. The plasma caster can be charged by the user to fire more powerful shots that are even more damaging to prey.

So-Pro The Warrior's Edge
I have to give my edge to the AR-15/SP1 and Custom Explosvie Tipped Torque Bow.

The reason being is because they will be much more lighter to wield then the Plasma Caster which could lead to fatigue in the battle.

 Edge Alan "Dutch" Schaefer 

Battleground/Situation
The Battleground will be on the Predator Game Preserve

Situation: Dutch is captured by the Predator's and is to be sent to the Game Preserve when something happens and he is transported instead to the future of the game Preserve. It has been 5 months since the end of the events (in the Predator's Film) Royce and Isabelle have by this time found other survivors human, as well as other alien races who learn their language. A new group of Predator's arrive on their ship and Royce's group see this and must come up with a plan to steal the ship so they can get off the Game Preserve. Dutch meanwhile sees this ship as well and needs to come up with his own plan to get off the planet before things get worse for him.

 Cunning 

90-90

Edge Even: Both of these men were cunning in their ways to defeat their Predator foe. Dutch and Royce both used mud to hide themselves from the Predator's thermal vision. Dutch was able to make a multitude of traps for the Predator. And Royce was able to use fire to his advantage as well to take on his Super Predator foe.

Being able to tell the way the sun had not moved since him and his group got "there", was able to know about the background's (minues Edwin) of each of the group memebers without even knowing them, as well as tell that they were the prey of someone or something after the attack of the Hell-Hounds and tell how Cuchillo's dead body was a trap set for them.
