The first Aliens versus Predator story centers on Ryushi, a recently colonized planet. The settlers on Ryushi raise animals called rhynth for export to other solar systems, and at the time of the story are in the process of assembling a shipment of the native livestock. Unbeknownst to the colonists, Ryushi is a traditional hunting ground of the Predators, and they are returning for their initiation rites. On board the Predator ship, the prey are prepared: an Alien queen lays eggs for delivery to Ryushi. Confounding the Predator’s safeguards, this queen manages to slip an egg containing the seed of another queen into the shipment…

Story/Spoilers
In issue #0, On board a Predator Mother Ship carrying a captive Xenomorph Queen, Un-Blooded Predators prepare for their initiation via a Xenomorph hunt. Leader of the hunting party, Broken Tusk, is preparing for the hunt before being alerted by a subordinate that fellow Predator Top-Knot won a recent fight to claim the right to choose their hunting grounds. Top-Knot ultimately challenges Broken Tusk, but is defeated by him. Broken Tusk chooses the planet of Ryushi to conduct his hunt, unbeknownst to him that a colony of humans had established themselves on the planet. Top-Knot instead leads another hunt on a marsh-covered planet that the party had seeded with Xenos. After a successful skirmish with the creatures, Top-Knot bloods a subordinate.

Next in issue #1, The inhabitants of the colony planet Ryushi are peaceful ranchers – men and women who lead simple lives. But their lives are tragically shattered as they become part of a “coming of age” ceremony for that race of deadly alien hunters – the Predators. However, the Predators’ prey are not the human inhabitants of Ryushi, but rather something far more dangerous – Aliens!

Next in issue #2, The quiet settlement on the planet Ryushi is turned into a battleground as the Predators clash with the vastly superior numbers of the Alien horde – with the few remaining humans caught in the middle fighting both sides! However, when it becomes apparent that the Aliens are winning, the humans and the Aliens are faced with a tough choice: trust each other – or die!

Next in issue #3, All hell breaks loose as the warring Predators begin their attack on the Alien brood – with the planet’s inhabitants caught right in the middle! Machiko has a plan to roust all the invaders, but what can she do alone, with only a gun at her side?

Finally in issue #4, Machiko’s only allies against the ever-increasing Alien horde are a lone Predator and a man on the brink of death!
