What Happened to Royce Explained - Predator Hunting Grounds Lore - Isabelle Returns to Earth

what's up everyone carlos here there's been  an update to predator hunting grounds on   august 31st of 2021 and with it are some new lore  pieces connected to isabelle she was seen in the   predators movie in 2010 she was briefly mentioned  in some collectible tapes from the update back in   july but this new update has four extra tapes  that go into her story she speaks to agent keys   about her time away from earth it also includes  a small bit of information about what happened   to royce after the comic book sequel this is some  new lore that we can dive into so here we go when   she returned back to earth via an alien spacecraft  she's picked up by an organization that keys is   working for she landed within mexican airspace and  was picked up along with a spaceship she was in   she explains her story while being held unlawfully  keys looks over her impressive service record   and wonders why she suddenly went awol isabel  says she was taken but specifically abducted   agent keys believes she's made contact with an  aggressive alien civilization one whose culture   is deeply saturated in the ritual hunting of  other intelligent species isabelle knows about the   incident that occurred in valverde when dutch's  team was attacked by a hunter agent key says   we already have the ship we just want your story  after that you can go home but she's not sure   if she can trust them his response is that  they are trying to stop these hunters and by   the look of the inventory in that ship she was  in she was also within the spacecraft they found   alien jawbones thermal netting predator armor  and a bolt action sniper rifle ballistics   say that it's been fired a lot as a way to make  things a bit more fair keys would give a little   intel about his role in the situation he's part  of a task force directed by the united states   government to assess and respond to a very  real alien threat one that attacked first and   continues to do so with impunity isabel would ask  how many have been on earth but keys is unable to   share that type of classified information isabel  assumes they just don't know exactly how many   but keys is aware that isabel has  killed one of these alien creatures   and he wants to know more especially since she  commandeered an alien spacecraft and successfully   piloted it back to earth he's one of the few  people on the planet that will believe her   he promises to do everything he can to take what  she tells him and use it against these monsters   and so she begins sharing her story moments before  her abduction she was on a mission after this she   went into hiding but refuses to elaborate on other  details however she is able to describe being   abducted she had fallen asleep during the mission  and when she woke up she was falling like in a   nightmare it was a parachute insertion like a halo  jump by the time she realized what was happening   the shoot opened on its own from that elevation  she was not able to recognize anything to her   it was only a jungle during the time of her  abduction she believes she was not on earth upon   landing within this jungle she did a supply check  on herself and began to recon the area she assumed   that she could be on earth maybe somewhere  she's never been to it soon became obvious that   this was not earth the combination of flora was  wrong too many species together that shouldn't   have been and others i could not identify at all  not long after a landing she spotted an american   mercenary a mexican cartel enforcer and a spetsnaz  special forces soldier debriefing each other she   thinks they were all deployed to the planet at  the same time over the course of a couple of hours   they found two american criminals a yakuza  enforcer and a member of a sierra leone ruf   death squad it didn't take long to see what they  all had in common killing because of the situation   they were all in they agreed to work together to  find a way out of the jungle there were no signs   of civilization this was not earth over a short  time it became clear that they were being pursued   hunted by something some type of hunting animal  was used to flush them out after this encounter   they concluded that the planet they were on was a  kind of preserve they were brought there as prey   out of the entire group there were only two  survivors herself and the american mercenary royce   during the comic book adaptation of the 2010  predators movie isabel goes into more detail   about the guatemala incident in 1987. an american  spec ops team went into the jungle she read the   debriefing report about it which was classified  this creature hunted them it was invisible in   our spectrum it was relentless a killer a true  predator she tells them about the time she went   to guatemala with her spotter archuleta she was  part of a mission to take down some nasty rebels   the report she read about the 1987 incident was  hard to believe she thought going to the jungle   might give her some answers she wanted to expand  on her mission by searching for clues of what   really happened there the debriefing said the  creature was beaten but it killed itself with   a powerful explosive the bomb site proved the  report had at least some basis in fact she never   mentioned to her partner archuleta how she felt  she was being watched how the jungle kept talking   to her archuleta thought she was just crazy but  things got worse when her partner got captured   it was all her fault she never should have sent  him off the mission to look for invisible things   while she was looking for aliens she forgot about  the other horrors around her with about 20 enemy   soldiers around archuleta she could have taken  down a few of them but she might not make it out   alive all she could do is watch as her partner  was killed by the soldiers who captured him   his death was on her she carried that burden  all this time she says to agent keys killing   does not keep you alive we infiltrate complete  the mission and get out we were trained to survive   not to butcher civilians earning the trust of  royce was difficult at first he worked with them   because he saw it was tactically advantageous he  saw the other members as disposable when they were   trying to identify the enemy he used the other  members as bait to lure out the enemy someone died   even if nobody on that list was that trustworthy  isabel knew royce was the best chance she had   at getting out alive and she was right they  were the only two that survived this encounter   but they got injured while they were hiding to  recuperate they grew close she was hoping to   return to earth with royce if they had not marked  him the hunters saw royce as some kind of champion   he killed a hunter survived for so long they  must have thought he was worthy so they gave him   predator armor this is referring to the comic book  sequel to predators the story continues with royce   and isabel still trapped on the game preserve they  survived for a long time but one night a predator   finds their campsite to drop off a package  then leaves royce is given predator armor to   fight against a giant four-armed predator isabelle  says that there were times royce had spoken about   how he secretly enjoyed hunting men that it was  dishonest to think otherwise this is somewhat   linked to the prequel comic book story of royce's  mission in africa his backstory shows that he was   hired to take out specific targets for the right  price he's not there to rescue people he's just   there to eliminate a target and get paid when the  predators gave him that armor it was like the gods   telling him he was right all along that's when i  lost him royce would then use the armor's cloak to   find a landing site he took isabelle to it and  there was some kind of dropship and a smaller   skiff she thought they would both take the skiff  but roy said he wanted to meet them face to face   i argued with him pleaded but there was no point  whatever connection he had to humanity to me   died in the jungle his ship disappeared into  the clouds and i was alone the last thing agent   keys wants to know is how isabel was able  to pilot an alien spacecraft back to earth   she says that before royce left he was able to  unlock and ready both ships using the computer on   his armor i don't know if he could have done more  or if he just didn't care to but it responded to   me as though i were one of the hunters everything  was in their language because she was trained in   naval navigation some things made sense out of  practicality and others i figured out through   trial and error time was difficult to judge there  but i slept several times as i worked it out there   were so many controls with images and holograms  she even assumes the hunters are not that smart   they saw so many of them but there were no  engineers or techs no one ever performed   maintenance if something broke they would just  abandon it she thinks it all works for them but   they don't know how it works agent key says that's  been a running theory about these hunters isabel   was going through a planetary directory for hours  until she found earth she grabbed her supplies   and started pushing buttons in the directory until  the ship rumbled and then she sat down and prayed   she fell asleep soundly for the first time in a  long time when she woke up there was earth huge   and blue the ship wanted a landing zone but i  could not read the locations so i chose at random   before they finished the conversation the ow  ella thanks isabel for her assistance and he   gives her his card in case she wants to help out  again she says she'll think about it and says   goodbye agent keys and that's the closure to the  story of isabel i like how the lore was connected   to the comic book sequel even if royce is out  there looking to meet predators we don't know   what happened during this journey of his maybe  we'll find out or maybe this will remain a mystery   the end if you want to see the video about royce  getting predator armor i covered that comic book   story which is a sequel to the predator movie from  2010 and if you want to see royce's early story   from when he went to africa i'm going  to leave links to those two videos so   check
