(......Hm, indeed it is.......... *copy* *paste*)

All across the known universe, where the technology permitted, random holographic fliers appear, promoting a tournament of some nature. The flier read (often translated into various languages):

"Come, greatest warriors of the known universe, come to prove your worth! See what if you have what it takes to pit yourself against the best of the best! A prize far greater than money awaits who ever can come out on top!"

The fliers then begin to show the coordinates to where this tournament is being held.

“Raeean. You are needed in interrogation room four.”

Raeean Traanx turned her head, her mouth opening into a fanged grin. She turned her whole body and went to the man who had spoken to her. He brushed an unkempt lock of bright orange hair away from his yellow eyes to look at her. She was wearing a black trench coat that covered almost all her body except for her head and hands. Raeean stopped in front of him, looking at him with her orange eyes.

“Is it who I think it is?” she hissed curiously.

“It is Raeean. The one you’ve wanted to take a crack at since the war ended.”

“Wonderful. Take me to him.” She followed him, the light glistening off the thick scars that covered his greenish skin. He led her to the interrogation center to a door guarded by a man and woman, standing talking to them was the leader of the army. He looked over as Raeean passed the man that brought her. She bowed.

“I’m glad you chose me for this, sir.”

“You’re the best we have. I’m sure you’ll get what we need.”

“I will sir. Count on it.” With that she walked to the door and went in. There was a man, not of the same species, barred and bound to a metal chair. He looked up and glared weakly. Raeean walked until she was about four feet in front of the man.

“This is your last chance to speak. Be grateful I’m giving you a—”

“A female… is that the best your species can throw at me? I will never tell you anything.” He spat at her. Raeean only stared at him coldly. Her mouth parted into a grin.

“We’ll just have to see about that, now wont we?” as she spoke she held open her trench coat. In various belts, straps, and holders hung many gruesome and vile tools. Some looking like well constructed machines and others made of primitive stone. The door then closed behind her.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nesic stood looking at a copy of the blueprints for the structure they were building. His armor glistened in the light of Ueln, the planets main star. It was a beautiful white suit of armor with silvery swirling decorations all made from the strongest mixture of metal known to the universe, Iridium and titanium, made for him by the nine lords of Galiait. The armor covered his neck and shoulders, back, chest, and his long legs. A loud metallic snapping sound rang through the air. Nesic looked up to see the thick cords holding a huge I-beam snap.

“Look out!” The voice was Nesic’s. He ran and lifted his hands as the massive I-beam made of the same Iridium-titanium alloy plummeted through the air towards a man and woman holding architectural blueprints. As Nesic lifted his hands a wave of the ground matter beside the man and woman reared up and formed a slope around them, the I-beam hit the slope and rolled down loudly.

Nesic ran to the man and woman. “Are you alright?”

“Yes Nesic…” the woman replied “Thank you…”

“You saved someone again with that power of yours. I’m glad you were here to help us.”

“It’s really not a problem.” Nesic said slightly embarrassed.

“By the way Nesic, elder Roen wants to see you again.” The man said.

“The prophet, again? I wonder what I’m in for this time. Alright, tell everyone to check all support cords while I’m gone.” With that he left, running. He ran to the temple that wasn’t far from the build site. Walking in, he saw the elder standing, looking at a large painting.

“Nesic.” He said, with his back still turned. “I trust you kept Glen and Maikin safe. I have something for you.” Roen walked to Nesic and looked up at him, with a kind elderly smile. The prophet held something out to him. “You remember your last visit, do you not?”

“How could I forget, sir?” Nesic looked at the object, picking it up. It was a holographic flyer. He played the message. “An inter-galactic tournament? Do you really think I’m ready for a tournament of this scale?”

“Of course I do. You’ve been undefeated in all of our systems tournaments for several years now. And you need something more than you have here. Will you go?”

Nesic stared at the flyer. “Yes… yes I will go.” The prophet smiled.

“Be careful.”

“I will.”


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raeean walked out of the room after a couple hours. She was wiping her hands in a towel, cleaning them of dark blue blood. The leader of the Army walked over.

“No too bad was he?”

“No… the ones who doubt me always go out so fast....” Raeean smirked. “I have the information you need.” The leader grinned and walked, with Raeean beside him. She delivered the information she had gained then left when dismissed.

She sat on the edge of a cliff near her home. Cleaning the blood from her tools. When she finished she sat back staring at the grey cloudy sky. Something caught her eye, a glint high up in the sky. Raeean stared at it as it flew down, stopping in front of her, and then played the message it carried. She grinned and stood, snatching the flyer out of the air. “Perfect. Opportunity has shown itself.”

Without hesitation she sent a message to the leader of the army, and after getting approval she went to her ship. Punching in the coordinates she set up for the jump into hyperspace. Taking off it took but moments for her to leave the atmosphere of Natriss. As her ship took off into hyperspace she walked through her ship. She was more than certain there were things she could learn for herself, and her planet. Hopefully even some new tactics, maybe even find some new weapons. Raeean looked out of a window as the stars flashed by.

The sound of footsteps rang through the abandoned warehouse, turned a corner, and left the corridor in silence, only for the silence to be once again disrupted by more footsteps, these ones softer, and quicker. "You can't escape, Alluvin," Dante said, his voice ringing through the halls. "Someone offered a mighty high price to see you dead. I intend to make good use of it."

Despite the confidence of his words, Dante knew that he would not catch up to his target at this rate. If he left the office building, it would take a while to find him again. That was time Dante did not want to waste. Drawing his sword, Dante made several quick slashes to his leg, grinning. As he saw blood trickle down, he summoned his power, feeling it gather inside him, and began running faster.

It wasn't long before he could see Alluvin, running, panicked at the new-found speed of his pursuer. "Like I said, Alluvin." Dante chuckled, his voice calm as he got closer and closer. Alluvin turned a corner, the last stretch before the exit of the building lay ahead of him. Dante pulled out his AR-6K, the net-attachment already in place, and aimed nonchalantly at Alluvin. With a smirk on his face, Dante pulled the trigger, and saw Alluvin ensnared. With Alluvin incapacitated, Dante took his time walking towards his struggling body. "Did I mention that the buyer wanted you alive? I hope I didn't mislead you." Alluvin's eyes widened with terror.

"Oh yes, don't think I'd be as foolish as to say that in advance. It's always the same with those simpler mercenaries. 'Tell them they're wanted alive, they won't put up as much of a fight'. Idiots. Every mercenary worth a damn knows that being taken alive is far worse than being killed on the spot." Dante chuckled as Alluvin began struggling again, more fervently, this time. Grabbing the net, Dante began dragging Alluvin from the warehouse, meanwhile calling his client on his com-link.

"Yes. . . Yes, he's alive. . . No, he hasn't said anything to me. . .Just get to the pick-up point and bring me my money. . .Good."

The pick-up point was right by the warehouse. Nobody was around this area that didn't want a death wish, or wasn't about to exact one on somebody else, so Dante didn't fear being caught.

The deal went smoothly, and Dante got his money. It was while he was counting it that he got the invitation. He couldn't help but laugh. "Perfect." He said, and immediately prepared to leave for the tournament.

One night, Gwendolyn was working on an invention for a man that had been needing a new tracker for his home, because he kept losing his things. She moved from the machine and looked at it. "It needs something..." She said as she walked over to a drawer of bolts and other gaggets that she invented, and pulled out a twisty wire. "Here we go." She said, walking back to the invention.

Just as she was about to put the wire onto it, a letter tube came shooting down the pipe that carries mail. The tube moved out of the mail pipe and floated over to her. She grabbed onto it, and opened the compartment, inside was a flyer.

Gwen pulled it out and it started playing a message. "A tournament. Sounds interesting. I think I will attend and get more attention for my inventions." She said as she put the tube and flyer down, to finish the new invention quickly.

As she finished it she put the small traker into the tube and walked over to the mail pipe. She put it in and pushed a button. Immidiately the tube when up the shoot and out of site. She walked back over to the flyer and put it in her pocket.

She had a dark look on her face as she walked over to an invention that she made when she was 20, it was a pod of sorts. She sat down in it and typed in her desired destination, and the pod door closed. A mouth peice moved over her mouth and she closed her eyes, when she next opens them she will be at the tournament.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Doctor, I dont know whats wrong with my shoulder.. it just doesn't stop hurting" said a patient, her back to Dr. Martis, her shirt is off but she kept her bra on.

Martis, moves his hands to her shoulder and she gives a shudder, "Sorry, my hands are a bit cold" he said, his voice sickly-sweet. He started moving his hands around her shoulder amd she gave small winces. "I'm afraid your shoulder is sprained"

"Sprained? But I dont even remember falling or any-" She then let out a loud cry of pain as he bit down onto her shoulder with his venomous fangs, sending poison through her veins and she falls over onto her side.

He gave a grin. "oh I was mistaken, it was a bite wound" He said, moving close to her face, "I'm feeling rather hungry, how about you miss? Wanna stay for lunch?" The womans eyes widen, as she tried to get away from him. "Ah ah ah Miss," He said, grabbing her arm, holding up a knife.

"I'm sorry to say we'll have to do surgery" He said, stabbing into her skin, cutting bits of flesh out of her, eating them as the womans eyes watch him in blood-struck horror, too shocked to even scream.

An hour later, Dr. Martis is cleaning up the mess of his last "meal", before his next patient would come in.

There was a knock on the door and the voice of a woman; "Sir, your next patient is coming in now."

"Ah yes send him in! I'm all set." He said to the woman and she opened the door all the way and a little boy of 5 years walks in. "Ah big boy Greg! Good to see you! Come on and sit right here!"

The boy walked up, and set right on the doctor bed, smiling at his favorite doctor. "Hewo Dr. Martis! I am here for my checkup!"

As Dr. Martis ran his checkup on Greg, a flyer disk flys into his room and onto his desk, he looked over to it, after handing a lollipop to little Greg, "I'll see you in about 6 months big guy, just keep growing!"

"I will!" Said the little boy as he run out of the room, Martis, then walked over to his desk and picked up the halo-flyer and it started to play the message.

"I see." he said, a wicked grin growing across his face, he moved the halo-disk into his pocket, and walked out of the room. "Mrs. Jones, cancel all my appointments, I have ergent business to attend too for a while. Sorry for the short notice." he said, and before she could get a word in he was out the door and off to space.

Alanna was running holding on to Mr.Fuzzy with her life. She was running though the darken woods, only tripping occasionally and keeping her eyes on the daylight ahead of her. Panting and silently crying, she ran not turning back once. When she hit the daylight, she slowed her pace down and looked out into the clearing she had just entered. She was tired and hurting all over her body. When her breath had returned to at least somewhat normal she yelled out to the sky, "God! That was the 15th house in a row this week!" She was clutching her rabbit close to her chest and she collapsed onto the ground, exhausted from running from her abusive foster home to the nice green clearing. The clearing was nice, rouning a bit around the woods, the grass was a nice shade of dark green, mildew on them still from the night for it was morning now. The trees were of normal suze now, not like in the woods were they were all huge and sticking out branches jsut askking for someone to trip on. Alanna was lying on the wet grass panting, and crying silent tears. Her bunny was near her left arm, it moved close to her and embraced her arm. Alanna looked at it and got up on to her lap. The birds were singing now, she picked up her bunny and hugged it close to her fragile chest. Mr.Fuzzy only laid limp while Alanna was talking to it, saying things like everything will be better when they got to the village up ahead. "Afterall, Mr.Fuzzy, I can hear their voices within." she said,at last. Mr.Fuzzy lifted up one of his white arms and wiped a tear off of Alanna's face. Alanna giggled and started to walk with Mr.Fuzzy in her arms.
---------------------------------------------------------------
They were walking when they got to the village, even though Mr.Fuzzy can't talk. Alanna looked about and didn't talk to anyone she saw in the village. There was this one man who seemed to have taken an interest to Alanna but soon walked away after Alanna gave him a look. Reading minds, she found the man's voice again, scrunching her face up at the thoughts the man was thinking of, she gave up and looked about for someone else. Someone had a paper and seemed to have been done with it, they placed it in the garbage. Curious, Alanna took the paper out of the bin to see it was a flier to some tournament. "Hey, Mr.Fuzzy! Maybe we can enter this!" she said out loud to her bunny. The bunny looked at Alanna and tilted it's head. "It'll be fun! Since I can control things-" she stopped herself because she didn't want anyone finding out she was telepathic and she could move things with her mind. She whispered to Mr.Fuzzy, "Because I can move ibjects with my minsd and maybe I could find a new mommy." The bunny clapped his hands and that was all she needed from him. "Now, we have to find a bus that goes to the tournament place!" she said. "Or maybe lift from someone?" Mr.Fuzzy shook his head, Alanna sighed, "Alright, alright," she said. "We'll take the bus." Mr.Fuzzy clapped his hands as they got on the space-bus and flew to the tournaments area.

Wheels hummed beneath him, carrying his small body up a cliff face. Beneath him, the man on the small plane shot at him with a small gun, but the shots were torn asunder by the roaring winds inside the canyon. Very little could be heard above that noise, but the sound of the plane moving closer was obvious. With a push of his legs, Kraven launched himself into the air, twisting in a corkscrew/back flip, length of metal streaming behind him.

As he passed, the hooked end of the chain snagged onto the wing of the plane, digging in deep. The weight pulled the plane into a spin, screams of the doomed man from the cockpit. Kraven used his momentum to swing himself across the bottom of the aircraft, up on the other side, and then through the bubble of the cockpit, the screaming, smoking wheels of his treks slamming into the criminals face. Chunks of skin and hair splattered against the remaining dome. Kraven grabbed onto the murderer, and flung himself, along with his unwilling hostage, into the abyss.

The bounty was heavy in his pockets, but Kraven's heart was full. Another deed done, another bounty snagged. And a new challenge sat in his coat pocket, in the form of a holodisk. A smile stretched his lips underneath his hood as Kraven made his way towards his space shuttle.

She was captivated. Intranced, one could say. As Raeean sat in a chair watching the stars wizz past. She let out a sigh after a moment then blinked her bright orange eyes. For a moment the Natrion though she had seen her fathers in the passing stars, an approving grin on his face. Raeean grinned, then stood. Going to stock up on the things she would need for the tournament.

With a vast array of her tools of torture inside the folds of her trench coat, a sort of backpack with metal viles of potions and concoctions, and multiple projectile hand weapons on the thick belt holding her trench coat closed, she walked to the control deck of her ship.

Sitting down at the main control pannel she preped the ship for the decelleration out of hyperspace. Quickly the passing stars slowed down and then the ship stopped just inside the gravitational feild of Dalarus. The planet where the tournament is being held.

With some more typing and lever pulling a massive cloking device activated. Blending the ship with the space around it. She set the ship to remain in orbit and then walked through the large ship to a landing vessel. But before she entered it she got a Hover Bike from the hanger and brought it with her. She expected that it was very possible she would loose the Bike but speed would be on her side for a while anyway. With the Hover Bike she went into the landing vessel. The vessel blasted out of the hanger sheilds as they opened breifly.

The vessel landed quietly, and the ramp that was the door lowered down. Walking her Hover Bike down the ramp she looked around. It was a very strange forest-like turrane in the sector she had landed in. After she got off the ramp it closed. And with a comical "dweet dweet" it locked down. Raeean turned around, faced by a flyer simmilar to the one that had brought the message of the tournament, but much larger.

Instinct almost made her slam a fist into the flyer but she controled herself. She looked at it curiously for a moment and blinked when it bathed her in a purple light, focusing on the spot where her heart would have been, for just a moment. A full body scanner. With a strange metalic voice it said:

"Welcome to Dalarus. Prepare yourself, for the tournament has already begun."

And with that it flew away. Raeean watched it go and then mounted her Hover Bike. Pushing a couple buttons the Bike took off at immence speeds. Dodging and weaving between strange, gangly trees. The tournament of her life was underway.

Just as the pod was getting closer to the plant, Gwen opened her eyes quickly looking down at the planet. She started typing on her mini-keyborad, as the pod shot straight down.

As she was typing the mouth peice moved off. Her pod flew down, fast, gaining heat as is went. As it collided with the ground on an island, it left a long crator untill her pod finally stopped near water.

The pod door opened with a pop as she got out. She was a stunning woman with blue skin and a form that many women would die for, She was wearing tight spandex over all of her body, but her head hands and feet. On her feet she has animal skin brown boots. Her face would be perfect if not for a scar going arcoss her right eye. She turned around to the pod and closed the hood. "Well I'll need to fix this later." She told herself. As she turned see saw a flyer float down infront of her, her amber eyes glared at it.

As she looked at it, it bathed her in a purple light, focusing on the spot in the middle of her chest, then over her whole body, she eyed the flyer for but a moment. Then a strange metalic voice it said:

"Welcome to Dalarus. Prepare yourself, for the tournament has already begun." and with that it flew away.

"God.. I really hate being scanned." As she said that she looked out over the water to see a larger island. "Thats where I need to go." She said walking out into the deep water.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out in space on a strange looking craft, that most people don't see in their normal lives, Dr. Martis was setting coordinates, and looking back at his 'passengers' "Dont worry we'll be there soon, and I might not eat all of you by that time" he said, a sadistic smirk playing across his face.

Hour's passed and Martis ate and ate, gainning their life engery, making his power grow. "Aw looks like I lied" he said, turning his head to his last shaking victim. "I'd say I'm sorry I have to do this but that would be lying." his voice deep, soft, and dangerous, a crazed grin growing across his face, as he lept at the person, biting into him.

A voice of a female came flooding into the room, "Sir. we are about to arrive on the planet. Please take your seat and buckle up."

"Ah yes, thank you k-39" he said, wiping his mouth clean with a cloth, and taking a seat in the command chair, strapping in.

As the ship got closer to the planet, it slowed down, going into the planets atmosphere. As it broke through, it slowly landed in a barren waste land. The female voice spoke again, "We have safely landed, and the air is secure enough to breath, you may leave the compartment."

"Why thank you k-39" he said, getting up from his seat his body shifting into his Saline form. (ooc: as seen in his profile) "oh yeah that feels nice...." He said, streatching his tail out. "I hate that human skin."

He moved to a door and it opened for him as he slitherd out. He made it about 30 feet before a new flyer comes down infront of him, "huh?" a beam then shoots out and lands on his left hip, beeping acouple times before scanning his whole body.

"Welcome to Dalarus. Prepare yourself, for the tournament has already begun." with that said, he watched the flyer fly away, with a smirk on his face, his eyes darkening. "Hehe, Let the hunt. Begin."

Alanna was half asleep on the bus as they were approching the tournaments location. A faint tap came to Alanna's fragile face, Alanna woke up quietly and hummed a 'huh?'. It was the bus driver, slowly shaking Alanna, saying something, "Hey kid, this is the last stop. Come on, sweetie, wake up for old Davie." Alanna was awake now, looked at the driver. Mr.Fuzzy was staying still, as to not scare the bus driver. "Thank you, Mr. David. This is my stop afterall." she said and got up to get out of the bus, but the bus driver was holding her back. "Your not going to tournament are you?" he asked. Alanna looked at him, curiously and nodded her head. David seemed surprised and said it was too dangerous but wished her the best of luck. Alanna nodded once again and left the bus where she was met by a strange purple light. It statedat her chest then spread to the rest of her. A strange metallic voice then said, "Welcome to Dalarus. Prepare yourself, for the tournament has already begun." and it flew away to another person. Alanna was curous about it for a moment but then was concentrated on someones voice, no many voices. Alanna walked at a normal pace nad began to explore the depth of the weird looking forest. She held on to Mr.Fuzzy but Mr.Fuzzy protested and wanted to walk. "Alright, Mr.Fuzzy, you can walk." she said quietly in his ear. Mr.Fuzzy jumped from her hands to the floor were he began to walk side by side with Alanna through the twisted forest of darkness. The tournament began for Alanna and Mr.Fuzzy Bunny.

Kraven awoke from his hibernation chamber as the computer found him at Dalarus. A quick vitals scan showed it was habitable planet, without any harmful features. Aside, of course, from the large number of lifeforms scattered across it's surface. Lifeforms that were probably there for the same reason he was. And that meant they would all probably want to kill him. If they could, that is.

The launching hatch opened, and a large bundle fell out as the ship finished it's self-destruct sequence. For a minute, the bundle was pulled between gravity of the planet below and the force of the implosion behind it. The battle only lasted a second, with gravity winning out the day. With a small tug, the bundle fell through the atmosphere, catching fire almost instantly. Burning with white flames, the bundle shifted as it entered the lower areas of the atmosphere, then broke apart. Shedding the flaming remnants of the entrance material, Kraven let out a caw of pleasure as the winds gripped him again, entering a forest.

Chains and hooks wrapped around a branch, slowing his descent as he spun around it, throwing himself off towards another, continuing in this manner until he ran out of tree branches. Then, he just fell, enjoying the feel of the wind. Below, he spotted what looked like another tree branch. Angling himself, he landed in a crouch on what he realized was a hover bike, behind the driver.

Raeean's bright orange eyes flashed open and she let out a slight yelp of supprise. She hit a button quickly. A red flash enveloped the stranger for a moment, then downloaded information infront of her. With a grin her body shifted into that of the Strangers species. For a moment Raeean almost lost control of the hoverbike as she dodged trees just barely before she brought the bike to a searing halt.

Raeean quickly pulled one of the larger guns off of her belt as soon as she stopped the bike, Turning to look back at the person who'd fell from the sky. A supprised look glinted in her golden eyes.

"How nice of you to drop in." She said, her voice was slightly humorous. "And who might you be?" Raeean held the gun in his direction, as she reached into a fold of her trench coat, slipping her fingers, then the rest of her hand into a strange glove before pulling it back out. The glove had wires and microchips all through it, and strange transmitters at the fingertips of it. This was one of her favorite, slightly high tech, tools of torture.

Kraven didn't move much, but a chain suddenly snaked up over the shoulder of what was now a Crow like him. It wrapped around her neck, and stayed there. The younger Crow turned his head slightly, and stared at the other with his glowing eyes.

If it would please you, I would prefer not to have violence so soon upon my arrival. I do believe we can be civil with this. Kraven said directly into her head.

To show his peaceful intentions, he leaped down lightly onto the ground next to the bike, arms at his sides, the chain that had been menacing the other Crow now laying pooled at his side.

Raeean looked at him curiously, putting her gun back on her belt, and peeling the glove from her hand before slipping it back into its rightful spot in her trench coat. With a small huff she lifted one leg and swung it over, coming to a standing position on the ground. As if in agreement she let her hands rest at her sides, like the stranger before her.

"My name is Raeean. What might yours be, and how did you come to fall from the sky, stranger?" She blinked her gold eyes once, then stood unblinking.

Nesic walked around his home picking up his bladed gauntlets and securing them on. Gracefully he turned and walked outside. His father sood outside the gate of his home.

"Hey pops..."

"Son. Promise me you'll return..." He said, hiding the fear in his voice.

"I promise pops. Don't worry about me." Nesic bent down far and gave his father a hug. "Hopefully I can win this tournament...If I dont, oh well. I'll just come home." Nesic ignored the itching thought that it might not be so easy to come home in one piece, if at all.

"Alright...Well get going then. And take this." As his father spoke he reached up with a necklace in his hands. Nesic bent down and let him clasp it around his neck before straightning back up. It was a white pendent with two small openings in the side of the longest part, and a tiny orange crystal imbedded in the bottom of it. His father stared up at him. "I and the other lords of Galiait made it for you. Its made from the same matireal as your armor.. so you wont have to worry about it breaking. Its an amplifier. For your power... so hopefully that will help..." His voice trailed off.

"Thanks pops..." Nesic put a hand on his fathers shoulder. "Stop worring about me." With a final hug Nesic went to his ship, taking off out of the athmosphere, then off into hyperspace.

As Nesic's ship came out of hyperspace he took in the sight of Dalarus. It seemed to have terrain of all sorts. From mountains to feilds. And from woods to marshlands and swamps. Nesic knew that this would be a very chalenging tournament.

After landing he pressed a button on his command pannle. The "skin" of the ship that made up the outer hull shudderd and twisted forming to th shape of a large boulder and changing color to blend itself in with the surrounding ground matter. Nesic stepped out of his ship, coming face to face with a flyer.

As he looked at it, it bathed him in a purple light, focusing on the spot over his right collar bone, then over his whole body. A strange metalic voice sounded a message:

"Welcome to Dalarus. Prepare yourself, for the tournament has already begun."

Alanna was still walking though the forest with Mr.Fuzzy walking with her. She then saw light at the end of the dark forest, looking like the clearing of the one she say earlier this morning. "Hey! Mr.Fuzzy! Look! Light!" she cried out in happyness. Not realizing the woods echoed she was pretty loud, but by the time she realized it it was too late. From the tree tops one of the contestants looking like a lizard shape human came out with sharp claws. Alanna took one look at her attacked and his eyes widen, he screamed once and very loudly while Alanna could feel herself in him. She was slowly tearing him to shreads from the inside out, finally his body had enough and he was ripped in half. Alanna looked proudly at the bloody corpse and she skipped along to the light with Mr.Fuzzy at her ankles, holding on to them. Once in the light, she saw very weird looking human, he was a male. He was huge to Alanna, very tall and scary looking. Alanna was digging into his thoughts, he seemed to have winced as if he realized someone was in his thoughts. He was a construction worker, or something like that. Alanna was curious so she started walking up to him. Mr.Fuzzy protested this time, shaking his head as if to say it was a bad idea to approche the man. "Mr.Fuzzy, it's too late we're already exposed we might as well talk to him." she whispered to him. Mr.Fuzzy stayed silent and didn't move. Alanna sighed, picked him up and stated walking toward the man. "Excuse me, sir." she said in a sweet innocent voice, and tugging on the mans pants lightly. "I appear to be lost, sir. Where am I, sir?" she asked, putting on a great act of being the lost, pathetic little 6 year old that she was. She held Mr.Fuzzy tightly like a little girl would whom was scared and frail. She awaited the man's response.
