| [Introduction]
It is a world of desperation, chaos and uncertainty, men women and children coverted into beasts Bloodshed is as comman as anything... The Final Days of the Killer Instinct tornament have begun one contestant will walk away with either 3,0000 dollers in cash or the glory of being proclaimed the king or queen of the Street Fighters but no matter what we all know they're all losers, I mean winners 'cough' winners is what I ment |
 Twiga  Alice went down to the Basement, where the Manimals were celebrating the upcoming battle of TJ Combo VS Tanya the Black Knight. Alice had found a bottle of wine and decided to bring it along in order to celebrateAlice recieved a warm welcome by the other fighters, the Killer Instinct tornament made Ultratech exrodanorily genorous as organic food become availble to the common people (Though it was expensive) The Fighteers of the tourniment got whatever food they wanted free of charge regardless of weather they were man or manimal.. Alice wasen't aware that Nochi and Jervis had found her there, they hid in the shadows wanting to exactly what was going on...They were indeed curious "Just a few more fights left." TJ said "And Ultratech will have to give me citizenship if they don't the people will raise Hell!" The other Manimals cheered "I'm sure you'll do fine." Alice said as she began to mix and pour drinks for the others "Tanya is not going to be able to be ready for your signature move." "Yeah," A dinosaur-woman said "No one can withstand the brain blast!" Jervis and Nochi began to timidly move to the light they weren't sure if Alice would come with them... Meanwhile on Planet Black Beauty, Marzipan got out a newspaper called 'The Daily Galaxy' which reported all the news of the known universe. "This thing has got a whole page devoted to the Killer Instinct tornament!" She said "It says here that the next fight is going to feature Underdog Cheif Thunder of the Dakota Tribe." Matoaka gasped "Cheif Thunder...of the Dakota tribe? she asked "Yes." Marzi responded "Why you ask "I know Thunder..." She said "He is my uncle." That surprised everyone "Your uncle?" Zander asked "Yes." She said "He taught me everything I know about zoology." Everyone was quiet "You're afraid he'll get killed?" Jordan asked putting her furry paw on Matoaka's shoulder "Yes." Matoaka sighed MS (Twiga's note MS I'm afraid I have to edit your post how can Alice and TJ be in the same conversation with Matoaka? They aren't even on the same planet! That's why I put the worrds 'Meanwhile on Planet Black Beauty, TJ and Alice don't even know who Matoaka is!)Jervis and Nochi approached Alice, the Manimals stood still and did not move, they knew who they were... Jervis laid his hand on his daughters shoulder "Alice, darling." He said "We came to rescue you." Alice didn't know what to say, she took her father's hand and held it tight in her two hands "Papa.." She said quietly "I can't leave..." "Why?" Nochi asked "Look at the poor souls behind me," She said "Look at all the poor creatures who came to support TJ, they all have a reason to live because I'm supporting TJ therefore I'm funding there hopes that they will see their liberation" Twiga On Planet Black Beauty Zander squeezed Matoaka's hand"I know how hard it is, the thought of losing a family member." He said "My own mother died of an infection when I was six years old, I have trouble remembering her, I was so young, but I remember crying myself to sleep for weeks every night." Zander helfd her close and whispered in her ear "Tell me what you most desire at this moment." "I wish..." She began "I wish we could go to Paydran and save Uncle Thuder before someone does him in but I know that's impossable because if we retern to Paydran we will be killed by the robot police." MS (I didn't know honest! I thought everyone just popped in to see the fights! O_o SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!) Twiga Alice sighed and walked over to Nochi"I can't leave." She said putting a hand on his shoulder "It's not just these Manimals who are depending on me, If TJ Combo wins his citizenship than we'll be one step closer to liberating all of Paydran from Ultratech's grasp!" "So..." Nochi said "We should just walk right out right now and pretend this never happened?" "I didn't say that." Alice said sounding hurt "But Nochi I think you and Vodku belong on planet Athena starting a new life as colonists, me I'm a lost cause, my blood is already tainted with cat DNA so we could never have children, any child I would bear would be mutants." Meanwhile deep in the Sewers of the town of Moonport Fearless Leader the Griffin Manimal awaited a message from his followers. Fearless Leader's real name was Dimoni but very few people knew that expept for his own family who were hiddin far away so the robot police could not find them... Dimoni was regarded as a mentor to all the Manimals all over Paydran, even the ones who had never seen him and did not no what kind of creature he was but still they knew him... MS (Can you respond? Im sorry! D:)The Fearless Leader, was no doubt a griffin. Yet he was a hybrid of both human and manimal. No one would dare ask about his family even if they interrogated him. "Leader? I have news on a new sport Killer Instinct. It seems that this TJ Combo is heading to the top of the championship line. If he succeds then this could be an oppertunity for us. If he wins he might be granted citizenship." said one of his observeers. This however did indeed interest him. "I heard of that... But I never know TJ Combo would reach to the top like that." he said. Back at the arena. "I don't care! I came back so I could find you! That and Vodku came for Hikari. I just couldn't let myself go knowing your hurt. And no matter what, I WILL save you! I CAN get you back to normal!" he said. Alice looked away and sighed. "Nochi..." "No! I don't want to hear it... We came, all this way for.. I owe Jervis a favour and I intend to fulfill it! We came to save you from Ultratech and get you back to normal But.... Now here we are and you say we should just... just leave you? For what just because you are a CAT?! Who are you Alice? Who? Your certinely not the one I know.. I'd know you wouldn't give up but... I guess I was wrong to come here..." Nochi ran off crying. Jervis looked back feeling remorse for him. Yet what could he do? Twiga (Don't worry MS, you're forgivin, sorry for not responding earlier it's no biggie. But...Fearless Leader is a wolf? I thought in 'How the Seed was Sown' you said he was a Griffin did you...change you mind or something? )Jervis looked at his daughter, he sighed "Looks like my little girl has become a young woman." He said "I guess so..." She said "I'm impressed." Jervis remarked "Where all others would have givin up hope you saw an oppritunity and grasped it." He looked to the Manimals of the fight club "You managed to inspire people with your generosity and charity." "What are you going to do?" Alice asked "I'll be close by..." Jervis said "I know an old friend of mine who works in the eletronics district not to far from here, I can see that you have started something that could shake Ultratech to it's core and I don't want to ruin what could save all of Paydran." MS (wait... he was? Its been a while so I couldn't remember.)Alice nodded and smiled, yet it wasn't happy like. "Thanks. Though im a bit worried about Nochi... Maybe I wasted his time coming here for me.. Telling him to go back to Athena..." she said. Jervis patted her shoulders and hugged her. "Well you know Nochi... He doesn't give up on what he feel is important. He knows your goal but he doesn't know about giving up on someone... I'll go talk to him for you..." he said. Alice smiled again and hugged her father back. "Its so good to seya again dad... Im glad your safe as much as I am." Twiga (I'll just edit it to say griffin and OK?)Alice sighed as her father left the Basement she turned to TJ Combo. "I'm proud of you Alice." TJ said "You proved that you really care about all us Manimals and about all of Paydran." A large pteradactyl like creature lay his wing around her. "I was afraid of my next fight.." He said "I was afraid because I have to face a Triclops hyrid named Kave in my next match, but you just gave me streangh so now I know I can beat him!" MS (thanks. ^^)Alice turned around and hugged him. "Don't worry. Kave might be as powerful as he looks but he has heart. The thing is, he doesn't give up in fights so easily. Trust in your instincts and I know you can win. The pteradactyl smiled and chuckled. "Thanks Alice." he saiid smiling. Vodku arrived at the underground spot where Carther was suppose to meet him. When he arrived, he saw Lord Famiax tied up in a chair. "Did I miss the party?" he said. Carther chuckled as he took out wine from Faminax's bag which he doesn't really carry around. "Nope. It's just started. Thinking of name calling or humiliation?" he asked laughinf. Twiga Just as Carther was beginning to pour the wine, he felt a powerful sensation as he clutched his head"Vodku..." He said "Catch me, I'm going to faint..." Vodku cuaght Carther as he collapsed...What Vodku did not realize was that Carther was reciving a telepathic message from Fearless Leader! Carther came to in a few minutes when he snapped awake he turned to the computer and began to type furiously "What...Are you doing?" Vodku asked "I got a message from Fearless Leader..." The Wolf said "He has had a psychic vision!" "What really?" Vodku asked again "Yes." Carher said "He told me that I must hack into Ultratech's records and erase half the data there!" "What for?" "Because... Six Manimals who escaped the labortory before they were geneticly finished will retern to Paydran, if they retern and Ultratech regonyzes them they will be killed instantly!" "So..." Vodku put the piecies together "You plan on earising all of Ultratech's files?" "Yes." The Wolf said "With my Wolfsbane Virus!" MS Vodku tapped his chin a bit to think."You need a good hacker. I or Nochi can get you in the system. You can upload the virus from there! Luckily I know a PC nearby." he said. Vodku took out his bracelet which was a PC Bracelet and walked towards the door, Dragging Faminax by the chair he's tied to. "We need to get that droid to unlock a Teleporter to New Japan's Ultratech HQ. At least to the most secure and uninhabitant areas." Twiga Meanwhile on Planet Black Beauty Bill went over to Samantha, she was laying on the bed staring at the celing"I know, I know you're going stir crazy..." Bill said "I'll get you out of the building as soon as the coast is clear..." "What's going on?" Samantha asked "I hear a lot of swearing and trash-talk..." "Oh that's just Minsk and Marzipan having anouther bout of competion to see which one of them is a better cook." "Which one do you think is a better cook?" Samantha asked "I dunno..." Bill shrugged "Minsk is the one who is teaching Matoaka how to be a better cook but Marzipan makes a lot of stuff with meat in it, and being an Ox I can't eat meat..." Meanwhile Zander, Matoaka and Ichabod were seated at the dining hall table watching Minsk and Marzipan square off in one surreal cooking match! (Remember the show Beyblade? Think of that instead with cooking utensals and food instead of those yo-yo things) "So ..." Misnk said "How goood are you beets?" "Beets?" Marzi asked "What are you making Borsht?" "So..."Zander said "This is Minsk's Borsht vs Marzipan's Beef Stew.." He chuckled knowing in advance who would win..." "Guinness stout beer attack!" Marzipan said pouring a keg into her pot "Super pink Borsht suprise!" Minsk excamed lifting the lid on a radioactive pink brew of Russian beet soup! Marzipan gagged when she saw the pink soup "Aaah! My secret weakness!" And she ran out of the room queasy Twiga Ichabod sighed and shook his head as he went back to the loft to comfort Marzipan over her loss..."So...That makes it where Minsk and Marzipan both have one victory..." Matoaka said checking the score Zander chuckled "I'm sure round three tommorow will be the tie breaker..." Zander stepped up to Minsk's pot of Borsht, took the ladle and raised it to his beak "To the victor go the spoils I suppose..." As he sampled Minsk took her wooden spoon and knocked him on the head. "Ow! What was that for?" Zander asked "It's not done yet." Minsk scolded "You may have some when it's finished." "Would you deny a prince a taste?" Zander asked in his sweetest tone of voice "You're no longer a prince." Minsk said "Or have you forgotten?" Zander looked a little hurt at first but quickly regained his composure "Toche." He said "You're quite right." Meanwhile Ichabod was comforting Marzipan in their room "There, there." Ichabod soothed as he stroked her fur "It's OK...you can't win them all." "Soup was not made to be pink." Marzi said gruffly "I don't care how many colorful vegtables your using pink soup is just gross..." "Marzipan," Ichabod asked "I have a small question, instead of competing to completly differnt foodstuffs, Why don't you two agree on one food product you both make and see who can make it better?" MS Meanwhile, the next fight at the Arena was well underway. The pretedactyle was facing Kave the Triclops. It wasn't gonna be an easy though.Kave by appearence, didn't seem much of a fighter. Yet he practices and works out daily. And each time he wins his matches he gets one steop closer to reaching the High Elder's trust. Tiamat and Tanya asked him why the High Elder interested him, but his response was, 'He owes me something important. It's a long story and I rather not bore with details but it started back at my home planet.' The two began to square off. The pteredactyle was cracking his, uhhh.. (knuckles?) and stretching. Kave was just twirling a small wooden rod in the air. "Just to let you know dinosaur. Im not one to kill, and I don't intend too..." he said. Kave flipped the rod one more time and caught it in the air pressing firmly extending it farther and long. "But that doesn't mean I will go easy on the fighting." Twiga The Prehistoric Reptile (Whose name was Rodan) Began the fight with a standard spinning upercut to Kave's jawKave didn't realize Rodan was so strong, he fell to the ground his nose bleeding, but he picked himself up wiped away the blood and began his counter attack, He charged, waving his wooden rod MS Kave swung his staff around trying to hit Rodan's vital points like his wings and limbs. He kept on dodgeing everytime and tried countering. Kave dodged as well, knowing that just blocking won't stop Rodan's strong attacks. Just in case he gets behind him, Kave opened his third eye which caught the attention of an Ultratech employee who was off duty and disguised."Whoa... And alien lifeform humanoid! Now this is an interesting specimine..." he said lighting a ciggarate. He took out his PC Bracelet and began typing on it. Rodan had to dodge his woodan staff. If he lands any blows on any part of his body, he'd be incapacitated in that specific part of his body. Steve Ellen The Ultratech employee read the reply message on his PC bracelet: Discovery of alien lifeform acknowledged. Obtain information but use caution. Kave landed a staff blow on Rodan's wing. There was the sound of a breaking bone and that wing took on a different appearance from the other one. But Rodan's long beak swung around and punctured Kave's shoulder. Not a serious wound, but it was bleeding, and the sight of blood excited Rodan into a frenzied attack. He stabbed at Kave with his sharp beak and Kave was forced to back up to get away from it. Twiga Rodan realized that with an injured wing, he would have to end the fight quickly or it would be the end of him!So Rodan took Kave's foot in his beak, and he began to swing around! He began to spin around faster and faster preparing for a seismic toss! Finnaly Rodan let go of Kave's foot and Kave was sent flying over the bleachers and into a window! CRASH! He went right through the glass and onto the pavement! The Ultratech employee looked out and saw him welted and bleeding but still breathing "He's still alive!" The Scientist said "Should somebody call an ambulence?" Rodan turned to the robot referee "Should we?" The Robot beeped as it remembered the rules "Killer Instinct states the Manimal contestants be left to die if left losing and not in a state of easy repair, however this does not apply to humans and alien life forms." 'Great.' Rodan thought to himself 'This game has an unfair advantage towards humanoids..' But still an ambulance came to take Kave away to the hospital, Tanya and Timant watched it as it went by... MS (Now that was a bit unrealistic there Twiga. How can any avian dinosaur lift a human with its small arms? Note that Rodan's wings are part of his arms and his blood veins connect to his arms. To put in words, his arms are a bit weaker yet more resiliant to damage. ) Twiga (I know that's why Rodan didn't lift with his arms he did everything with his beak)As Rodan was the winner of this match, he was allowed free treatment for his wounds... But his wounded wing ment he was going to be in a state of limbo for a while, not able to fight until his wing was better. And that was going to be trouble because he was supposed to be Cheif Thunder's next opponant! That left Thunder in limbo as well untill a replacement could be found. Meanwhile on Black Beauty, Zander lay on his bed and looked up at the celing, thinking about the past few hours. Matoaka came in she looked concerned "Is something troubling you?" She asked "I'm not really sure..." Zander said "I've just been...thinking about the past few monthes" "Is this about what Minsk said to you?" The Unicorn inquired "Not quite," Zander replied "It isn't what she said so much as the memories that came with it." He tenderly touched his rump, and flinched as if were still tender from the whipping he got monthes ago "I looked in the mirror earlier..." He said "And I saw that I still have scars on my rear from my whipping I suppose they will always be there to remind me to be humble..." Matoaka looked sad, she stroked Zander's feathers "Something else is troubling you isn't it?" She nickered softly Zander threw his arms over her shoulders and wept softly "Oh Matoaka." He breathed into her mane "You must understand, mating outside your species is among the most severe crime you can commit, second only to rape itself." Silver tears flowed into ebony locks "I am grateful that I am among such good friends at least you all still treat me like a person, if I were still back on my homeworld people would be afraid to touch me like I had a desiese." He kissed Matoaka "But I long to see my people again, I just miss them so much, but I can never go home again..." "None of us can ever go home again." Matoaka reterned Zander's kiss "We are all outcasts." Steve Ellen At the Killer Instinct arena the next fight had been quickly rescheduled. Now a hyena hybrid by the name of Happy Hungry would be battling a human - The Terrible Trojan From Tennessee - usually known by the nickname "Triple T". Triple T fought with a trident and net in the style of the old Roman gladiators. The crowd loved it. They cheered as he entered the arena in his bronze and leather armor. Happy Hungry fought naked. OK, not totally naked because he had fur all over him from the waist down and that hid the naughty parts. His face was terrible with a huge hyena-like jaw full of sharp teeth. Even though he was reasonably intelligent, he fought like an animal, all snarl and bite. The crowd liked that, too, so they also gave Happy a good applause. He raised his fists and gave out with his bloodcurdling hyena laugh. The crowd cheered. It would be a good fight. Happy charged straight at Triple T, dodging Triple T's trident, evading the net, and trying to snap at Triple T's heels. But Triple T was a fancy footwork man - he took dancing lessons on the side - and his feet did a dance that left Happy's jaws snapping at air. Happy snarled in frustration and tried a flying leap at Triple T's throat. Triple T saw that as the perfect opportunity to hurl his net over Happy but Happy twisted his limber body in midair and avoided the net. His jaws passed so close to Triple T's face that Triple T smelled his hyena breath. "Whew!" Triple T said. "Did you eat skunk for lunch?" "I'll be eating your nose for supper!" Happy snarled. Twiga Triple T was getting pretty tired of this fight he was generly low on stamina, he took one of the ropes of the arena and quickly made a noose out of it...He tied it around Happy's neck and jumped up to the rafters wear he hung up the hyena by the neck"Gak! That's cheating!" Happy said as he gasped "Not in the least." Triple T smirked as Happy did a little dance in the air Meanwhile Minsk had made Lunch ready for the others and everyone came out to join...Well maybe not Marzipan she was still sulking from her loss. Lunch had just barely begun when something or someone, tumbled out of Bill's room! "I regonyze her!" Ichabod exclaimed "That's the same wrangler who tried to capture Bill two nights ago!" Jordan didn't need to be told twice, with a little squirrel like 'Chrrk chrrk chrrrr" She sprung and was about to go for Samatha's throat when she was stopped by, Minsk of all people! "Now, now let's not fly off the handle like that..." She said grasping Jordan by her furry tail, "No sentence before verdict and all that you know?" Bill stumbled out of his room as well looking mighty embaressed.. "Bill?" Ichabod asked "Was that Wrangler girl in your room? Were you...allowing her to be in your room?" "I can explain!" Bill pleaded "Oh Gods please let me explain..." "Well of course you have plenty of time to explain." Matoaka said "We want to just what is going on!" MS (Well it seemed very unrealistic because his entire neck would break even JUST by lifting him at least his size even by the beak! Even if by flying. They had to be feral and twice their size.)Meanwhile, Kave woke up at the hospitle bed. He felt a singe of pain in his back. Feeling quite irritated that he had hit the back of his eye on the pavement. The only mistake people make is hitting a Trclops's third eye. "Well well well if it isn't our little alien specimen..." said an Ultratech Employee. Kave was a bit weak to get up, but he turned his head to see who it was that spoke. Unlucky him, it was an Ultratech Employee. Could he had seen his third eye? "You are the last of few remaining Triclops in this Galaxy I heard right? Soothsayers they called you too... I think we would love to learn more about you..." Kave groaned in annoyance. He couldn't come close to striking at the High Elder. The only revenge he had ever wanted, since he took him away from his family. Twiga (Well, that's because he IS at least Kave's size remember Rodan is named after the fictional Japanese monster, he's supposed to be big and anyway, if all Manimals are human hybrids than they all must be human sized)Kave didn't like this scientist one bit, he felt a dark aura generated by his body... "Hey you get away from there!" A nurse said "He's in critical condition he can't have any visitors!" The scientist bowed down to the nurse and slinked off "We will meet again Triclops." He licked his lips "You can be sure of that." Meanwhile Tiamat had moved in with Tanya, they now shared a luxery suite apartment high above the city Tiamat looked in her wallet and looked at the picture of Reg Shoe she kept as a keepsake. She met Reg, when she was 14 and he was 17, He was the heir to one of wealtiest Maisons in all of Gallia, She was a maid in a hotel. Before she met Reg Shoe, she had a lover, a dragon manimal named Malisarda he was a fighter in the Killer Instinct tourniment that year, he died as all of the Manimal fighters did, but he had come so close! Closer than any Manimal ever had to getting his citizenship, but he had to withstand the final test. For the Final Round of Killer Instinct ultratech had imprisoned a two-headed demon warlord known as Eyedol to fight all compeitors MS (I really didn't see much fictional Japanese monster movies except Godzilla. :P)The next contestent to fight the Eyedol was suppose to be a masked fighter, called himself The Reverend. But he got a terrible illness and he ordered to call him off the match. So now TJ Combo squares off with him. Alice was worried abvout TJ and hoped he'd be alive after fighting a beast like that. Meanwhile, Jervis sat with Nochi outside the arena. "Hey Nochi... Are you ok?" he asked. Nochi nooded a bit and sighed. "Yeah mr. Tetch. Im good..." he replied. He knew he wasn't really telling the truth. He sat down and tapped his hands together. "I know how you felt for Alice, well back when we all worked for Ultratech a year ago... But Alice wants what's best for you... Though she doesn't know about you that much, like personal like. You reminded me of your father years ago... Its good that your uncle came in before Ultratech did.." Nochi looked down the pavement and sighed but listened to Alice's father. "She wanted you back to Athena because she thought you be safe there... I guess people didn't see that you too have grown up... Even Vodku. Its not your fault Nochi, Alice is always a bit stubborn when it comes to herself and others. I was surprised you didn't even care if she was a cat. And you liked her for what kind of personallity she has. If you want to show how much you care about others Nochi, you have to show it, I mean visually and expresfully, you'd do something that's right inside your heart and let people know how you feel. If not words then why not action?" Steve Ellen "But what action, Mr Tetch?" Nochi said. "I can't invent it for you. It has to come from your own heart or it will seem false and manipulative. Just be yourself." "I'll try," Nochi said, thinking that the Alice's father was a bit fuzzy in the brain. Of course he would be himself. Who else could he be? On Planet Black Beauty, Bill finished his explanation. Matoaka was silent for a moment, looking off in thought. Finally, she looked at Bill. "Bill, you have done some foolish things in your time. You've made some mistakes. But this has to be the most foolish mistake yet." "What?!" Bill said. "Weren't you listening to me?" "Yes, Bill, I was listening and I heard a cute story about how a bull-headed young boy let an attractive Ultratech manimal wrangler talk him into letting her into the inner sanctum where she could meet and identify every manimal he knows." "No!" Bill said. "It's not like that! She isn't working for Ultratech anymore!" "Isn't she, Bill? How do you know that?" Twiga "I can speak for myself thank you very much." Samantha said as she faced Matoaka herself "You see I was conditioned to hunt down Manimals for a living but when I saw Bill 'the system' began to where off and I began to see manimals differntly and believe me, despite my tender age I've hunted down a lot of Manimals!"Matoka placed her dainty hand on Samantha's forehead and looked deeply into her eyes not blinking.. "I beilve you." The Unicorn said "Is this some of your Native American wisdom?" Jim asked "How to sense the truth?" "No Matoka said "This is called trusting your gut." Meanwhile on Paydran TJ Combo had to face the Demon Warlord Eyedol, the Arena was differnt from the others it was in a facory on a bridge supended over a pool of lava! TJ was frightened of Eyedol, honestly who wouden't be? But he decided to pull out all the stops using the cybernetic implants in his brain in order to tire out Eydol's mind But when he used his brain blast a spark of electricity jumped out of his brain! "Holy crap!" TJ exclaimed as the burst of eletricity jumped out and hit the demon! Eyedol growled and knocked him down! TJ bruised his cheek as he hit the wooden planks of the bridge... "OK" TJ said to himself "That was weird." Eyedol charged and TJ had jump out the way to avoid the warclub that the demon wielded "OK TJ." The Merman said to himself "Think fast. Got to keep calm." He tried anouther brain blast more eletricity shot out of his forehead MS Everyone watched astoundished to see TJ's new power! The Demon had been struck 4 times by his electric blast and knocked him out! He was almost considered brain dead too. TJ was the winner again, but exausted himself from overusing his new powers. Alice and a few other of TJ's supporters came up to take him back to his room. Nochi and Jervis walked back in to see TJ carried away."Did we miss something good?" asked Nochi. "Hell yeah you did! TJ completely obliterated this demon! Ya should had seen it!" Alice exclaimed. The robot announcer, still declared TJ as winner, came down the stand and explained. "Miraculously, TJ has developed a new ability that surely earned himself in the next position. Eyedol surely was powerful but not mentally." it said. Twiga The crowd went wild! TJ was the first Manimal ever to win the Killer Instinct tourniment!TJ looked to the Ultratech employees "I believe you know what this means..." The two of them looked at each other...Now they had to give TJ Combo his citizenship! They handed him the deed declaring him a free citizen, they weren't just amazed he had managed to win, he had actually killed Eyedoll the Deathless! "Just one question." Asked a scientist "With Eyedoll dead who is going to be the final boss for the killer instinct torniment?" "Oh I'm sure you can open up your alternate universe portal and imprison anouther demon to be the End Boss." TJ said sarcasticly "Now if you excuse me I'm going to faint." So TJ collapsed and Alice and his supporters took the Merman to his room. Fearless Leader had seen it all from his magic crystal, he was impressed, the first Manimal to win the torniment.. Meanwhile Bill and Samantha stood before Matoaka and Zander "So..." Bill inquired "Can she stay?" Matoaka looked hesitant "Most wranglers have sub-dermal chips under their skin that moniters their movements at all times are you sure you don't have one?" "I'm positive." Marzi said "If she had any chip I would have heard it." "I think we should let her stay." Zander said "If she really wanted to kidnap us she would have done so, but we're all still alive aren't we?" Matoaka sighed "I suppose you're right." Steve Ellen Alice stayed up very late that night thinking about her plans to overthrow Ultratech. TJ now had his citizenship and both Alice and TJ had contacts inside the High Elder's palace. Carther and Vodku had erased some of Ultratech's records so that it was now safe for the Six Manimals to return to Paydran. (Alice didn't know about Samantha.) But what to do next? Suddenly Ultratech seemed very large and powerful and her efforts seemed very small and feeble. She put her head down on her arms. For the first time she felt the possibility of failure. Twiga Meanwhile on PLanet Black Beauty after Matoaka and Zander decied to let Samantha stay, Zander decied after so much drama he would retreat to his room for a nap.Matoaka thought that a nap sounded like a good idea at this point but Minsk had planned a cooking lesson on that day after lunch so Zander slept alone As Zander slept he felt warmph and comfort surround him, he felt himself begin to dream. He felt his Mother's hand on his cheek, in his mind's eye he saw his mother looking down on him. Zander knew this was a dream but none the less he was surprised "Mother!" He exclaimed surprised "What are you doing here?" "Zander." His mother Jezzle said gently "I came to speak with you..I know you have been banished from Ava because you married a woman not of our planet." Zander wept because he felt great sadness that his mother knew of his shame. "Oh Mama," He said weeping "Please don't be angry, I didn't mean to break the law I just ..fell in love..." "Don't cry, Little Fledgeling." His Mother said as she wiped away his tears "I'm not hear to scold you as your father was I'm here to help you." "You are?" Zander's heart lit up with joy "Yes." Jezzle said "You wish to see your people again do you not?" "Yes." Zander said "I do." "You may be with your people again if you are brave." Jezzle said "The way back to Paydran holds the answers you seek." With that the dream ended, Zander was confused about the dream's meaning but filled with happiness. Meanwhile as Minsk was teaching Matoaka about cooking, Minsk had to keep reminding Matoaka to focus as she seemed distracted. "Matoaka." Minsk said tapping her foot "In case you haven't noticed you just burned the pudding..." "Oh!" Matoaka exclaimed as she turned off the stove "Sorry about that." "Well it's not liked I ever really liked butterscotch." The mink said As she looked at the burnt goo in the pot. MS "I was just thinking about Zander... He sure has been... well kinda down. He never did tell me what it was." she said. Minsk picked up a small teaspoon and scooped up a bit of the burnt pudding. When she tasted it, it had kinda of a burnt yet still good taste. "It's not that bad. If it was left like that for a while it would be kinda crappy. But it's not your fault... I have my worries the same as you do." she said. Twiga Just than Zander burst out of the bedroom and wrapped his his arms around Motoaka's neck and kissed her!"Whoa!" Matoaka exclaimed as the kiss broke "Did you get into the birdnip or something? When did you get so frisky?" "I just had the most beautiful vison!" Zander exclaimed "My mother came to be in a dream and told me how I could be accepted by my people again!" "Oh yeah." Minsk said "He's definitly gotten in to the birdnip." "Wait..." Matoaka said "Zander what did your mother say to you?" "She said that the answers lie on the way back to Paydran!" Matoaka was sillent for a while as she reflected on what her mate had said, "Paydran..." She said to herself "Where my uncle is..." She turned to Zander, "It really was a psychic vison wasn't it? You Aves are clearly capable of seeing the future..." "Yes." Zander said "You see Matoaka it was all ment to be, we go to Paydran and rescue your Uncle from the Killer Instinct torniment and by doing that we'll find a way for my people to accept me again!" "Did you say you're going to Paydran?" Bill asked "Isn't that dangerous?" "Yes." Matoaka said "But since it's now the Killer Instinct security will be down." MS "Then we may have a chanc." he said.Meanwhile, back at Killer Instincts, Alice walked out of her room accidentally bumping into Nochi. "Oh im sorry about... Oh hey Nochi." she said. Nochi chuckled a bit and picked himself and Alice up. "Are you ok?" he asked. Alice sighed and rubbed her arms. She was unsure of telling him about what she thought. He didn't want to see her as weak because of Ultratech. "Well... Its just...Ultratech... Everything.... Its so big and our cause is so small... Im not sure if we can succeed." she said. Nochi patted alice's furry shoulder smiling. "Well, here's this. How did most of the Manimals escape Ultratech's grip? How did I and my brother hack into UT security? How was we able to find out where you were by kidnapping Lord Faminex!?" Alice squeaked and stared at Nochi. "Did you just say LORD FAMINEX?! You'd be endangering yourself to the extent!" "Don't worry. We got his replica robot to play it out. Faminex is in Carther and Vodku's hands. Besides, if you want to take down Ultratech, your gonna need my help and the Undergrounds help too. Don't think your alone Alice..." Nochi began to walk off while finishing his words. "Because there are those who seek the same goal you have." Steve Ellen Meanwhile Vodku had been practising his Lord Faminex impression, helped greatly by having the real Lord Faminex captured and available to study. "How about this, Carther? Listen: Guard! Bring me my waterpipe! Let no one disturb me tonight." "That's good!" Carther said. "You captured his snotty nasal whine perfectly." Lord Faminex huffed in his bonds. "You fools will be caught and killed. You will never get away with it. Let me go now and I promise I will never mention a word of this to anyone." "Ha ha ha," Carther said. "Good joke, Lord Faminex." "I think I'm ready," Vodku said. Carther nodded. "I think so, too. I'll inform you-know-who that our part of the plan is ready to roll." "I'll tell Nochi," Carther said, "if I can drag my little brother away from his girl-chasing long enough to talk to him." Twiga (Carther Steve? Did you mean Vodku and wrote Carther insted)On Planet Black Beauty, everyone got prepatred to fot their trip to Paydran. As Jim, Bill and Bob loaded up the Space Van with luggage, Jim saw Ichabod and Marzipan standing in the doorway looking at them "Don't you want to come to Paydran with us?" Jim asked "It's going to be heck-a-fun!" "I'd rather not risk being cuaght by the robot police..." Ichabod said somberly "And In case you haven't remembered Marzipan and I are want crimanals on Paydran, they know what we did!" "Correction." Bill said "They know what you did on the colony on Paydran's moon, on actual Paydran you're a virtuaul unknown." MS (Lol. XD I think you got it wrong Stevo. :P)Ichabod didn't really thought of that until now. He first met Marzipan on Paydran's moon. "Point taken. Ok. I think were ready if its ok with everyone." he said. Everybody nodded. Ichabod face palmed himself and sighed. Meanwhile, back at the Hospital, Kave was just recovering from his wounds. That was until he was sedative and taken away by Ultratech. "Be careful with him! Lord Mallibam wants him alive! And did you try contacting Faminex yet?" one said. "I tried but he ain't answering..." the other replied. Tanya and Tiamat were just about to visit the Triclops until they spot him carried by UT employees to a black Van. "Ohh... Crap.. Tanya remember that contestent back at KillerInstinct arena?" she asked. Twiga (Um...MS they don't NEED a shuttle in the escape from Paydran the six Manimals stole a Space Tour Bus from a Rock N Roll band it looks sort of like Lone Star's winnebago from Spaceballs)Tanya and Tiamat were extremely concerned when they figured out that Kave had been kidnapped so did the only thing they could do...They called TJ. "'lo?" TJ asked as he answered his cell phone "TJ this is Tanya." The Black Knight said "And we think Ultratech has stolan a friend of ours!" "Who might that be?" "Kave the Triclops!" TJ checked his new bracelet PC which he bought after he became a free citizen "Hang on, I'll hack into Ultratech's files and see what's going on." Meanwhile The Six Manimals (And their assoiated friends) Were on their Space Van on their way to Paydran. Bill cranked up the radio to the Moldy Oldy Station playing old favorites from previous decades (Like the 1980s ^^) The radio belted out Bill's favorite tunes from the Old Earth era before Ultratech. "Ooooh You got a nasty reputation when a sticky situtation, is down on me and you..." Bill than took out a wooden spoon and started singing into it like it was a micorphone "So...Is it true? They say there ain't nobody better..." Zander's ears coulden't handle much more of this shill assult on his his sense of of hearing so he turned off the radio... MS (................LOL! XD A ROCK N ROLL band?! XD I think I like that better. I really didn't know you posted they took those ships. Either that or my memory is bad. You can edit the scene where they talk about transportation if ya want.)"Oh my god! I think I almost gone deaf!" he yelled. Matoaka chuckled and smiled hugging Zander. "Don't worry. Hyperspace won't take too long." she said. Zander smiled and chuckled back. "True. Anyways, does bill always sing bad?" "Only when he's bored." Steve Ellen [VODKU ... not Carther :P]Bill plugged in some headphones. "Is that better?" he shouted. "Yes," Zander said. "Thanks!" TJ was on the phone with Tanya and Tiamat while he hacked into Ultratech's files with his bracelet PC. "I think I've got something," TJ said. "You ever heard of a place called Orange County?" "No," Tanya said. TJ studied the very tiny minimap on his computer. "Ultratech has an Advanced Alien Rearch Lab there. AARL. Ever heard of it?" "No, but I don't think anyone on Paydran knows every department of Ultratech. There must be thousands of them. How do you know Kave is in AARL?" "Because it's an alien research lab and because when I hacked into their daily log it said Consigned for research - 1 Triclops - name:Kave" "That sounds convincing enough. What kind of security do they have?" "Surprisingly little," TJ said. "I hacked into their network easy enough. It's a small lab. Looks like the head scientist is a guy named Doctor Probe." "Can we get at him?" TJ's fingers tapped on his bracelet PC. "I think so. He lives in an ordinary apartment block near the lab. And guess what? He's home right now." "How do you KNOW that?" Tanya said. "Daily log. And I sent him an email." "What?! Are you trying to tip him off? What's wrong with you?" "Calm down," TJ said. "It was just a phony IM saying his 'order was ready for shipment'. He bit and IM'd back 'what order?' Hey, why don't you guys visit his apartment and pretend to be delivery people?" "That might work," Tanya said. "All I need is a uniform." Twiga "That's easy." TJ said "All I need to do, is send go to Amazon.com and order and Ultratech employee costume "Dude this is getting seriously creepy." Tanya said "Like...it's getting so easy to cheat the system..." "You know something..." TJ said "I secretly think Ultratech wants to be destroyed." Meanwhile, The Space Van was nearing its destenation...Marzipan was watching Minsk through her cat eyes... she was talking to Matoaka "...She said quantam leap sounded like a stupid name for a TV show, but I beg to differ you see..." "I thought we were talking about M.A.S.H." Matoaka said "Yeah we probally were." Twiga In the back of the van Jim and Bob were talking."I say you just go for it you know, you just take a chance, move foreward, and Go. For. It." "OK." Bob said "I think I'll take a chance." Bob took a glass of water and poured it on his bare knee..."It tickles!" Bob exclaimed "You see?" Jim said "Now that's what I'm talking about Water on the knee...Commit to it!" "The pathetic conversation you're having pales in comparison to the one you're about to have!" Bill proclaimed as he entered wearing a leather tank top and pants "Oh great I can't wait." Bob said "I'm finally comitting to it!" Bill said dramticly "I've talked about it for year but I'm finally moving foreward! I'm going to join the Killer Instinct fights and win the Battle Royale!" Matoaka and Zander gasped "Bill are you nuts?" Matoaka scolded "We're trying to get my Uncle Thunder out of that horrible compitition, why on Earth do you want to join?" Steve Ellen Bill grinned. "What's bad for Uncle Thunder might be good for me." "That makes no sense,"Matoaka said. Bill waved his hand. "No. Listen. Uncle Thunder was dragged in against his will. He hates it. I'm going in because I want to win. That's the big difference. I'll have the motivation to survive." Bob shook his head. "Bill, you will get you ass kicked. They have every kind of weird alien, mutant, or hybrid that ever existed in those fights. They'll put you up against some 7-headed freak with an atomic-powered sword and after the fight they will carry you out in a box filled with little pieces of Bill." Bill laughed. "Don't be so dramatic. I'll insist on a "humans only" clause in my fight contract. Or at least nothing with more than one head. The fight owners are desperate for new fighters so they pay big money for them. Plus! I will be on television!" Bob groaned. "I knew it was a mistake to bring you to the big city." Twiga Unfortunetly nobody knew that Chief Thunder had not been dragged against his will fights but instead insisted on it, for the sake of the tribe, because his brother Eagle, had dissapeared during last years torniment, I mean it would have been one thing if he just died, that would be understandable, but nobody knew what happened to Eagle he just vanished...So as the Space Van neared its destenation, TJ approached the rest of the Manimal fighters who were still in the compitition (Excluding Tanya and Tiamat due to they were rescueing Kave) "I was talking with Alice one night and I got a really great idea," He said "No that I'm free why don't one of you try to sue for your liberty?" The other fighters looked nervously at each other "Dude." A Velicoraptor Manimal named Fossil "You can't sue Ultratech, there is no means of policing them." "No, If you'll just listen I'll explain." TJ said "Tanya is heiress to one of the richest Maisons in all of the Ousirria right?" (Ousirria is what used to be called Russia) "Right." Said the fighters "And Tiamat is her full-blooded sister right?" "Right." "Well I attempt to prove that Ultratech has been stealing children to furthur their own interests!" "Well duh!" Rodan said "Everybody knows that Ultratech steals children why do you think rich and middle class families never let their children leave the house?!" "So why doesn't anybody do anything about it?" TJ asked MS (lol Fossil. XD Epic.)Everyone was all silent. No one spoke a word, and they all held their heads down. "Why are we just sitting here? Why are we just doing nothing against them?" he asked. Nochi stood besides him coughing a bit. "Many people gotten Manimals out of Ultratech's hands before. Why don't we get the kids out from them? I mean come on. Me and Vodku gotten out Hikari. And there's the underground." he said. Meanwhile, Kave wakes up slowly only to find himself restrained to a bed, facing face flat. He opened his third eye to see who was over him and it was the Ultratech Scientists. Lord Mallibam was with them studying him. "Interesting... His eye actually has nerves. His optical nerves support his sight from behind his head. How does this happen?" he asked himself. Kave didn't let out a word and continued to watch them. "He's obviously not blind, or has no lazy eyes. He ain't seeing blur, nor is it affecting his head terribly... What is causing his sight?" Twiga Tanya was watching the scene from above she was ready to rescue Kave at any moment but the last thing she wanted was to time it wrong and screw it all up.She was wearing the white lab coat of a scienetist...She was perfectly disgused. Kave's third eye swiveled and regonyzed Tanya, his heart filled with hope MS Malibam looked back at the Disguised woman, Tanya, and lifted his glasses."Hmmm... You seem new..." he said. Tanya gulped a bit hoping he wouldn't spot her true self. "Are you specialised in bilogical concepts and genetics?" he asked. Tanya almost fainted from too much knowledge she doesn't understand, but nodded her head dumbfounded. "Good. I have to go anyways. I got a message back in New Japan from Faminex. Stay here and continue stydying." he said as he walked out the door. Tanya sighed in relif and walked back over to Kave. He sighed in relif as he saw her face. "I can see you recgonize me well with that eye of yours." she said. Tanya unlocked the braces on his arms and legs. Kave was able to turn around and stretch. "Thanks Tanya. My neck sure hurted laying like that." he said smiling. Steve Ellen Lord Malibam strolled back into the room. "I forgot my- Hey! What the hell is going on here?" Without thinking Tanya slammed her fist into his face and he fell down like a sack of potatoes. "Wow!" Kave said. "Great reflexes. I see why you win all your fights." "Thanks. If they always had me fighting fat old Ultratech lords I would be World Champion by now." "Uh... what should we do?" "I don't know, Kave. Does the word escape sound attractive to you?" Twiga Kave and Tanya, began their escape they found a garbage chute and Tanya decided it was the best route for escape"But this is a garbage disposal!" Kave exclaimed "I don't want to be diced up like a plate of leftovers!" "Lord Malibam would never recycle." Tanya said crossly "He'd just dump it, now let's go!" So the two of them made their way down the garbage chute and landed in a soft pile of trash MS Kave nodded and jumped into the chute. He landed straight into rotten fruits, fortunate too because rotten meat or other types were bad news. Then came down Tanya right after and landed on his back."Umm ow?" he said cringing. Tanya eeped and jumped out the dumpster and dragged Kave off as well. "Sorry bout that. Are you ok?" she asked. "Well besides my back everything is fine. Thing is, why was Lord Malibam and Ultratech so interested in my third eye?" Twiga Tanya rubbed the back of her head, "I'm afraid it must be the psychic magic of your third eye if nothing else..."Tiamat flew into the scene "I'm here the get you two out of here." She said "I'll fly you out of here." "Are you sure we won't be too heavy?" Kave asked "I mean both of us?" "Don't worry." Tiamat chuckled "I'm hybrided to one of the strongest dragon spieces in the world so I can easliy lift both of you." She picked up both of them and floated up into the air "TJ Combo said he wanted to talk to me when we got back." "I heard of that." Tanya said "He wants to talk about a lawsuit." MS Kave listened in and asked about this talk."Why what happened? Didn't TJ get his citizenship?" he asked. Meanwhile, Vodku, now successfully disguised as Faminex, infiltrates the New Japan Ultratech HQ. He was about to follow his orders to hack into the files until he was voiced out by someone. "Faminex! Your here! We thought you dissapeared! Listen we got BIG trouble now." said one employee. Vodku acted a bit dumb but to make sure he doesn't blow his cover, he disguises his voice as faminex. "Ahem yes? What seems to be the problem?" he asked in the most well known voice as possible. "Its Malibam! He was attacked by one of his scientist! Well at least WE thought. He think she might had been some spy. And his new Triclops experiment escaped!" Twiga (OK I have put up with it as much as I could but I'm getting tired of it, The lord's name is Femistox Fem-i-stox)Vodku sweat dropped but quickly thought up a lie. "Yes sir! Right away sir! I'll recover any lost data that may have been damaged, when the Triclops escaped!" Vodku got out a computer chip and installed into the PC, he pretended to be searching for damaged file but what he really was doing was unleashing the Wolfsbane Virus. As the three travelers were nearing their destenation Tiamat explained "TJ doesn't mean a lawsuit for himself." She said "He means one of us other fight club heroes sue Ultratech for kidnapping and molestation." "Molestation?" Kave asked "I thought sexual relations with Manimals was..." "The law says you can't have any form of intercourse with Manimals." Tiamat said "The law doesen't cover fondling or groping or poking with fingers and toys and a lot of scientists have busy hands." Tiamat seemed pretty knowadgable and the subject and Kave assumed that if she haden't been a victim of such things than she had witnessed someone else being molested. "But anyway, the whole busy hands thing is not the main point of what TJ was talking about..." All five of Tiamat's heads looked around to see if no one was evesdropping "What TJ attempts to prove..." She whispered "Is that Ultratech has been breaking it's own rules by stealing children from the rich and wealthy." "You mean like yourself?" Tanya asked putting a hand on her sister's shoulder "We were the children of one of the richest tycoons in the world, are you going to be the subject of this lawsuit?" Tiamat looked hesitent "Actually some of us were talking about Fossil, because he claims to have no memory of before he was turned into a Manimal, but his records show he has only been a Manimal for one year and he is 35 years old, so he coulden't be a street child or a convict child." MS (Im sorry! Its tough to pronounce his name! Don't get fucking pissy at me for a name I don't FUCKING UNDERSTAND!!) Twiga (OK, ok I'm sorry for sounding angry, I didn't mean for it to come off that way All Femistox means is Five-Six in anouther languge)As Tiamat neared the top of a skyscraper, TJ Combo was waiting for them, Aside from his new bracelet PC he also had a nice buissness suit, and a gold watch. "So Tiamat." He said as they landed "I'm so glad you can make it. About this lawsuit..." "Yeah do you think Fossil will be willing?" Tiamat asked "Fossil is not going to be part of this." TJ said firmly "But than who will... "Fossil's memory is faulty.. He can't be held up in a court of law, but you have real memories and more importantly you have a sister who will support you..." "But..." Tiamat said "I can't go to court." "Why not?" TJ asked "I would be under oath to tell the truth." "And....?" "I must not betray He-who-must-not-be-named!" "What does Voldemort have to do with this?" TJ asked crossly "No no! Not Harry Potter's antagonist the other He-who-must-not-be-named!" "I don't follow..." The Merman said irritably "Let me give you a hint." Tiamat said "He lives on the moon..." She gestured to the slither of the moon you can see daytime. "Well a lot of people live on the moon I don't see where you're..." Than TJ got it "You mean our leader?" "Why isn't I never understand what's going on?" Tanya asked "Ask the Triclops." TJ said "He was most likly reading her past with his third eye." "Um...No I wasen't" Kave said "I bumped it on the sidewalk, " Steve Ellen (Oops, I was saying Faminex, too. Sounds like a medicine, doesn't it? "Take Faminex twice a day to relieve symptoms of..." )Tanya put her hand to her mouth. "You bumped your third eye and it doesn't work anymore? That's awful!" Kave smiled. "Don't worry. It's just a slight bruise. I'm sure it will be much better tomorrow." TJ was sadly shaking his head. "It looks like I am going to have to rethink everything. If I can't use Fossil and I can't use Tiamat then who can I use?" "Do you have to use the word use?" Tanya said. "I hate it when people use other people." "Argh!" TJ said. "Don't I have enough problems without you criticising what words I use?" "I'm sorry, TJ. Hey, how about something to drink, everybody? We need to sit down and relax and think this through." Twiga Tiamat was extremely worried, she knew she had to do something, she was the only one sutible to be the subject of this lawsuit, but she was also a secret agent of HUG and she coulden't betray her true purpoiseShe remembered when she first met Reg Shoe When she was a maid in a hotel and her boyfriend had just died in the Killer Instinct torniment, Since Malisarda was a Manimal they coulden't give a proper funeral so they buried his bones at the city dump Twiga Reg Shoe first approched her at her boyfriend's funeral, He took her aside and led her to his parlor in his mansionAt first Tiamat was afraird, she thought the rich young heir wanted something from her, something illeagal that would get her killed. "Do not be afraid." Reg Shoe said "I mean you no harm, I wish to discuss things with you." Poor Tiamat sucked on her finger and tried to look like a frightened child "I want to help the Manimals." Reg had said and that's how it all began Meanwhile the six manimals and friends had landed on Paydran in the wasteland. Marzipan and Minsk were still feeling hostle toward each other they seeked to find a tie-breaker to their self proclaimed- cooking battle ... Steve Ellen "Look," Marzipan said."I fixed some snacks we can carry with us as we hike out of the wasteland." She glared at Minsk. "OK," Minsk said. "I didn't make any snacks. You win, Marzi. Is that what you're waiting to hear?" "No," Marzi said. "I don't want to win by default. Do you admit I am the better cook?" "Sorry! I can't admit that!" Minsk grinned. "You are so competitive, Marzi! Like me! Hahaha!" Bill put his arms around both of them. "Well I just think we are all lucky to have two such wonderful cooks." Minsk and Marzi threw off his arms. "Quit trying to be the peacemaker, Bill!" Bill shrugged at Matoaka. "I tried." Twiga As everyone got ready for the trek through the Wasteland, Minsk looked around to make sure no one was looking and reached into the cooler and dug out her backpack.Inside her backpack she had what she hoped would be a secret weapon against Marizpan, a small batch of Oyster Stew! "I perfected this weapon so easily." Minsk said opening up the tupperware and inhaling the stew's scent, when everyone get's a taste of this they will have no choice but to declare me the ultimate chef." Than Minsk heard something in the distance, she looked outside and saw, Samantha talking on what looked like a satilite phone "Yeah I know!" She said "Look the reason I've haven't been talking is because the phone hasen't been working." Samantha listened to the person on the other end of the phone, she felt nervous for herself and for Bill "Well know that your phone is working than give me a status report!" Said Boss R.L. "Who are you talking to?" Minsk asked Samatntha quickly hung up "Nobody!" "Now don't be like that." Minsk said "You were talking to somebody." "Samntha noticed what was in her paws "Is that oyster stew?" she asked "Yes..." The Mink said "Well I know someone you can take that Stew too who will determane if you are a better cook than Marzipan." "What really?" Minsk asked "If you'll follow me." Sam said taking her by the paw She led her to a cavern, with a sign that said "Gentleman's Club." "Just submit your dish here." Sammantha said "And you shall be judged by some of the finest intellectuals in the world." Minsk should of known better not to fall for that but she was jut so determend to prove the better chef that she walked into the cave. When she walked into the cave, she found herself in darkness "Hello?" She said "Is someone there?" She felt something knock on her head she passed out.. When Minsk woke up, she felt a chain around her neck, she felt a the top of her head there was a bump, she wondered where her stew was but than she realized it was gone she opened her eyes to realize she was in the one place she never wanted to be, A black market slave auction! Minsk saw the sign above her saying 'Gentlman's Club Slave Auction' Minsk realized what sort of Gentleman's club this was, A place for rich crimanals! Hired Killers, Thieves and the like. Minsk realized she had been set up by Samantha but it was too late to do anything about it now, she looked around herself, she saw other Manimal women they all had been doped up to the point they were all sleeping with their eyes open. Minsk saw a couple of buyers walk by, she decided she would pretend to be asleep so they might not notice her She heard two people approch, they looked like a very handsome couple, both were tall and dark-haired, The man looked somewhat bored his blue eyes seemed to be yawning "Just think Edward." Said the Woman "Our very first houseslave!" "Yeah, yeah." The Man yawned "You just want something to tortue Rose." Samantha was horribly sad at what she had to do, But Minsk knew too much now... Steve Ellen "Where is Minsk?" Bill said. Samantha acted surprised. "Huh? How should I know?" "I saw the two of you go off together, but only you came back." Samantha looked Bill straight in the eye. "Minsk said she had to meet someone. She didn't say who." "Which way did she go when she left you?" "I don't know. I wasn't paying attention." Bill looked hard at Samantha. "Take me to where you were when you and she separated." "For God's sake, Bill! Minsk can go meet someone if she wants to, can't she?" Jim ambled over. "What's going on?" Bill told him what Samantha said. "That doesn't sound like Minsk," Jim said. "We better go take a look." Samantha rolled her eyes. "I don't understand why you guys are making such a big deal about this." "What's happening?" Matoaka said as she came by. "It's Minsk," Bill said. "She's missing." Matoaka quickly looked at Samantha. "She went off with you." Samantha laughed. "I'm sure you will understand, Matoaka. Minsk said she had to meet someone. I don't know why these guys are-" "You're lying," Matoaka said. "What?! I'm not lying! She-" "Enough!" Matoaka said. "Bill, make sure she doesn't try to escape. And now, Samantha, you will take us to Minsk." "This is ridiculous!" Samantha said. "I trusted you," Bill said. "But Matoaka was right about you." "You're going to take her word over mine?" "Yes. I've known her a lot longer than you. And I also know Minsk. She would never go off and not tell us where she was going. Something is very wrong and you have something to do with it." Samantha was silent. Things were not going as she had expected. Twiga Finnally she burst out with emoition "I did it for you Bill!" "Say Wha?" Bill said "I did it to protect you from R.L. My Boss!" "R.L...."Matoaka rubbed her chin "As in short for Real Life? I know him he's one of the biggest Scientist Lords in Paydran!" "Yes!" Samantha said "I didn't worry about him on Black Beauty because the great intergalactic distance made so the phone woulden't work..." "So he phoned you when you got back to Paydran?" Matoaka asked Meanwhile at the Black Market Minsk was trying all her best to pretend she was asleep so that she would be less likly to be bought. She saw the dark-haired couple near her and Minsk curled up in a fetal position and tried to hide her face and bare breasts from the others The Dark haired couple passed her by without a second thought and turned to look at a Seimian Jackel-Girl But than Minsk let out a sigh of releif, and that let both of them now she was awake The Man, whose name was Edward turned and said "High ho What's this?" Minsk quickly tried to pretend she was sleeping again but it was no use the Couple were all ready interested in her. A salesman walked by and Edward called him over "Sir, I have a question." "Yes?" The Salesman inquired "Most of the other slaves have been drugged to the point they are all practicly comatose but this one is awake..." "Oh I'm terribly sorry for the irregularity." The Salesman said "Let me get out my Soma and I'll have her..." "No!" Edward said "No. That's not nessisary I prefer a waking slave to a comatose one. "If you're sure about that." The Salesman said "Where did you get her?" Edward asked MS A few minutes later, Samantha was crying. Even though they had believed her, she was hurt emotionally. But when Bill went over to sooth her a bit, she slapped his face. "I WOULD NEVER BETRAY MY FRIENDS WITHOUT A REASON!!" she yelled. "I did it because R.L. would had plan to either kill or take you in Bill!" Twiga Bill touched his face where he had been slapped, he would absolutly stunned...too shocked to speak..."Where is Minsk, now?" Matoaka asked her tone was deadly serious "She's at the thieve's guild slave auction..." Samantha said "You mean... The black market?" Matoaka gasped "Only the thieve's guild would have a slave auction in the wasteland!" "I led her to a cavern and told her to walk in." Samantha said "If she hasen't been sold already she's probily still in the Auction house." Zander looked serious "We can't just enter a house of thieves unprotected we need something." He reached into his suitcase and pulled out a most magnificent sword! The handle was pure silver and the blade looked like a piece of the night sky formed into a weapon! The blade was made of deep purple amethyst, and images of silver stars and galaxies encrusted the blade like all the stars in the world "The Space sword." Zander said "Made by Avian Swordsmiths in the early years of our specie's history that has sort of been passed down along the royal family from father to son for generations." "You didn't lose that when they stripped you of your title?" Bill asked "I think they just didn't want Revel to posses the sword when I handed my birthright to him." Zander chuckled Meanwhile at the Black Market Minsk was afraid but also very curious about the man who was interested in buying her Edward read the plaque that was held above her cubicle that read she had an oral fixation, and 'loves to cook' "How do you know she loves to cook?" Edward asked the Salesman?" "Well she came into the cavern holding a pot of stew." The Saleman said "We assumed she cooked it, but we didn't taste it we fed it to the dogs..." 'My Magnum Opus...' Minsk thought to herself bitterly 'Fed to the dogs.' "I think you're taking to much interest in this slave." Rose said "So she can cook what's so special about that?" "It's certainly more than you do." Edward said coldly to his girlfriend "You seem to live only for sex." Edward took Minsk's chin in his hand, "So soft..." He murred feeling the fur "My mother had a fur coat but it was no where as soft as this!" Minsk growled a little and jerked her head out of his hand Edward grinned "She's got spirit" He said "More than most slaves do..." Minsk was obviously frightened by this Thief lord but when she looked at his Sky blue eyes she couldedn't help but feel there was some kindness and even some sadness in those eyes." "How Much is she?" Edward asked "Because I'm buying..." Steve Ellen "Oh no you're not!" Rose said. "You're far too excited about this one." "Ridiculous!" Edward said. "Are you going to be jealous about a slave? Do you think a man of my position would lie down with a slave girl?" "Ha! You're a man, aren't you? A man will do anything!" Edward turned to the slave trader. "I'm interested but I'll have to think about it." He winked his eye to let the trader know he would be back after he did something about his girlfriend. "You don't need to think about it!" Rose said. "Let's go have a drink, honey," Edward said. "They have great bootleg liquor here. You know that green minty drink you like so much?" "Mentholshine? I love that drink! But what a kick it has! Don't let me drink too much of it. I don't want to pass out." "I'll watch you like a hawk, darling, and make sure you stay wide awake." Twiga Edward took Rose to the bar and bought her the favorite drink.'Rose underesmated the enormous power of the drink because after one sip she felt rather tipsy. Edward smirked all she need was one more in order for her to pass out so he ordered anouther one... As soon as Rose took one sip of that drink she instantly fell off the stool and fell into a deep sleep. Edward smirked again and went back to where he saw Minsk He found her still laying there, still looking nervous but crurious...Edward turned the salesman and told him he world pay whatever price was needed for that slave. Steve Ellen Matoaka and Bill and Zander were on their way to the Auction House to rescue Minsk. Zander brandished his beautiful Space Sword. "Put that in its sheath," Bill said. "If we walk in holding a sword they will kill us immediately." "Sorry," Zander said. "What was I thinking? But if there is any trouble then this beauty will come out of the sheath so fast there will be friction burns." Matoaka chuckled. "Lately you have been going out of your way to be macho. Is it the Avan manliness season happening again already?" "I told you we don't have seasons!" Zander sputtered. "We are the same all year round. We don't rut like unicorns and cattle." "Hey!" Matoaka said. "Don't lump me in with cattle!" "Sorry. I'm on edge. How far is it to that Auction House?" "We're almost there," Bill said. Twiga Edward quickly made his purchase and and they were quickly teleported away out of the building, Edward carried his drunken girlfriend slung over his shoulder.Matoaka Zander and Bill came charging into the room but they realized far too late that the store was closing and that the Female Mink-Woman had already been sold "Gods Minsk ." Matoaka weeped "She was like a sister to me." They beat a hasty retreat out the caverns where Minsk was captured to avoid becoming captured themselves "Gods." Bill said "What can we do now?" Everyone was lost... Meanwhile at the Killer Instinct fights the other Manimal compeditors were hoping to follow TJ's example and become free citizens like him. Fossil was having his first fight in the torniment, The Raptor-Human hybrid was being tested against a regular Non-Anthro Raptor, this Raptor was called Jack the Ripper, but Mr Quirrel changed the name to Jack the Riptor to sound more thretning The fight was taking place in a blood stained gladiator pit like of the Old Roman Days only such a place could contain such a creature as Riptor Meanwhile TJ Combo was busy having a high power lunch with several members of the Killer Instinct fights. Rodan, Tiamat, Tanya...Fossil was obviously not here because he was fighting and Kave was resting at Tanya's home "So Ladies and Gentleman..." TJ said "What have we learn so far about Ultratech?" "We learned they're a buch of cheaters." Rodan said "And Kidnappers." Tiamat added "Just one question." Tanya asked "Where is your sponsor Alice?" Shoulden't she be here with us?" "As much as I would like Alice to be here I'm afraid she can't Girlygirl buissness at Earthport and all that. By the way is everyone's lunch to one's liking?" Rodan cleared his throat "Well I personaly prefer my fish to be live and kicking but I'll settle for just raw and dead." "I don't mind the sashmi." Tanya said "Even though it's a little sour" "Yeah I noticed my sashimi was sour too." TJ said Steve Ellen Alice batted her eyelashes at the high-powered ultratech executive. "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Mashiyama." "Please, call me Muuki," he said. He was a short chunky man with a bald head. "Alright, Muuki. Would you like some tea?" "Ordinarily, yes, I would, but I am between flights. I am afraid everything must be done rush-rush. This does not anger you?" "No," Alice said. "It's fine. I don't mind rushing. I'll slip into something more comfortable right now." In her changing room she grinned at herself in the mirror. By getting rid of Mr Mashiyama before his time was up she would have a few hours to herself that Ultratech would not know about and there was something special she wanted to do, something that could only be done right here in the heart of Earthport where Ultratech had spies everywhere. Twiga Alice had gotten rid of the Japanese exeutive. Now she could sneak into the Main computer room.She snuck into the center of Earth-Port in her Human form as her time in Cat-form was up. She went to the Main CPU era, inserted a computer chip, labeled Cheshire Cat virus and began to distroy all of Earthport's files... Meanwhile in an apartment that borders between the wasteland and the main city of Paydran. Minsk, Edward and Rose teleported into the building When Minsk arrived she clutched her legs and doubled over in pain! Obviously she was not used to teleporting! "Are you quite all right?" Edward asked "Does it matter?" Minsk growled "I'm not a human, just a mink." "I was just trying to show you the proper respects." Edward said as he lay the knocked-out Rose on a sofa "I am aware teleportation can take quite a bit out of you if you're not used to it." He hesitated "Is that a Russian accent you have?" "Well yes,,," Minsk said "But don't we say Ousirria insted of Russian?" "Oh I don't care very much for the new termanology.." Edward said as he reached into the fridge "To me Ousirria will always be Russia." He got out a bottle of clear fluid, and handed it to Minsk...She sniffed it "Don't worry." Edward said "It's just Vodka it will help heal you after your ordeal through the Telporter." "You're almost as nice as a Moonport Man." Minsk said Twiga Minsk was rather sorry after she said that, she was afraid that she may have insulted her captor.Edward did not look angry at all but merely rubbed her between the ears like she was a dog, while Minsk found this degrading she knew she had to keep on her 'master's' good side if she wanted to stay alive. "I'm not insulted." He said "This courtesy is like second nature to me because I come from a long line of Gentleman Thieves." "A long line of thieves?" Minsk asked "You mean to say that..." Edward laughed "My fair mink I am a member of the thieve's guild, are crimes are legalyzed by Ultratech so no member of the guild has to pay with a child for their robberies, it is the UNlisenced crimanals that have to pay with a child for their crimes." Minsk nursed the bottle of Vodka as she considered that statement...She had only heard of the thieve's guild in passing whispers when she was a poor street urchin, none of the street urchins understood what the thieve's guild actually was but she assumed it was something to be feared, Most of them thought that the thieve's guild were child snatchers who stole children from the rich and the middle class. Edward turned to her, "Before you begin work, would you like me to give you some clothes so you don't have to walk around naked?" Meanwhile Back at the Wasteland Zander, Matoaka and Bill walked back to their flying tour bus with heavy hearts. Jim, Jordan and Bob were resting together in the back, Ichabod and Marzipan had removed themselves from the situation entirely. Samantha was waiting by the door, When she saw the three retern "Did you find you her?" Samantha asked The hurt and angry look in Matoaka's eyes spoke more clearly than any words ever could. With one deft movement Matoaka took the satalite phone from Sam and crushed it with her hoof. "I'll make sure R.L. will never hurt any of us ever again." She said coldly "And if you are truly loyal to us you must sever all ties to the Wranglers is that clear?" "Crystal." Was all Samantha could say Meanwhile at the Killer Instict fights Fossil was having a hell of a time defeating Jack the Riptor, he knew he coulden't last much longer he had been simply avoiding Riptor's attacks long enough...He had to think of a quick way to finish of the Non-Anthro raptor before he got eaten! Riptor tried to go for the throat again but Fossil just doged again and Riptor ran smack into the wall. Seeing his chance Fossil lept on Riptor's back and bit the back of his neck breaking it. The Raptor let out a horrific screech! MS Nochi cringed hearing the screech. Kave just clampped onto his ears shivering a bit. Fossil had killed Riptor and was declared victor of the fight.Nochi opened his eyes seeing the fight was over. "Well that could had went well." he said. Nochi looked over at Kave who still clampped his ears. "Kave man you ok?" he asked. Kave stared into the ring sighing a bit. "Something... Something very similar to that scream made me remember my home and my love one.... And how much I wanted to kill The High Elder..." he said silently. Steve Ellen Nochi nodded. "Don't worry, man. It's going to happen.""Yeah," Kave said. "But when? I'll be an old man." Nochi made a quick laugh then got serious again. "No... It will happen." His eyes were cold as ice. The mood in the flying tour bus was dark and heavy. Jim murmured, "Poor Minsk. I wonder where she is now..." Jordan patted his hand. Meanwhile, Minsk was feeling the effects of too much vodka. "I want to dance!" she yelled and began jumping around the room. Rose turned to Edward. "Are you sure you should give alcohol to a mink? Maybe it affects them differently?" Edward was laughing. "Don't worry so much. I'm just glad to see her feeling good. Minsk! Stop dancing and come rub my back." Rose glared at him. "You promised me!" Edward grinned. "Oops. Sorry. Minsk! Come rub Rose's back." Rose looked daggers at him. "I'm in no mood for this, Edward. Stop giving her vodka. I think you're asking for trouble." Twiga Minsk looked a little Tipsy, she leaned on the sofa and began to pass out.Edward looked slightly nervous. "I guess I shoulden't have given her Vodka, after all she is Russian..." Minsk began to clutch her head and Edward placed an ice pack on her head "I should've given her whiskey and diet coke instead." He said Rose smirked she stroked her finger on Edward's chin "You should not have bought that slave..." "You know..." Edward said trying not to sound nervous "She was the best looking slave..." "You disobeyed my orders." Rose said "You know what that means..." Edward gulped nervously Rose got out her paddle "You me, to the bedroom now." Edward dreaded this moment...But he knew he coulden't avoid it... Meanwhile at the Wasteland, Bill and Samantha shared a bed, but Bill kept his back turned to Samantha. "I'm sorry." Was all Samantha could say "I don't understand why you did it" Bill said "We could have helped you..." "R.L. is among the most dangerous lords in Ultratech." Samantha said "He's extremely powerful...I didn't know what else to do." Meanwhile at the Killer Instinct fights TJ Combo was hunched over a toilet puking his guts out "What's the matter?" Fossil asked "I think they put something in the fish at that Japanese restraunt..." TJ said as he puked "Now I've got a horrible sickness..." Fossil rubbed, TJ's back sympathetcly, Rodan entered the Men's room "I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" TJ wiped a bit of puke of his lip and cleared his throat. "Alice has downloaded some Ultratech files." He said "That have Fossil's origins on them." MS (Steve don't make Nochi act like he's a bad guy. -_- He's not cold or anything.)Nochi walked in hearing the conversation. "Where exactly did she get the files from?" he asked. Twiga "She downloaded them from Earthport's main computer...." TJ said as he got up "If this plan works we may be able to finally sue Ultratech for kidnapping.""What would happen if we lose a case?" Fossil asked "Woulden't we get executed or something?" "We won't lose." TJ said firmly "I'll make sure of that." The Four of them walked out of the men's room. Alice came to greet them "I have the files downloaded onto this computer chip!" She said in a hushed whisper "But we need to watch them in a place where no one will spy on us." "Why not the basement fight club?" Rodan asked "No one will spy on us there." Soon they were all down in the basement, Nochi got out his lap-top computer Steve Ellen (OK, MS. His eyes were warm as kittens?  )Minsk lay on the sofa with an ice pack on her head. What was that awful noise she could hear? Whack! Scream. Whack! Scream. It seemed to be coming from the bedroom. Groggily, Minsk stumbled over to the bedroom door and peeked in. Edward was lying naked with his arms tied to the bed. Rose was leaning over him administering a hard paddling to his fanny. Whack! Scream. Minsk stumbled back to the sofa and fainted. In her dreams she could still hear it. Whack! Scream. She had a nightmare about a hidden dungeon that she could never escape from where terrible things happened. Twiga After Edward had recieved his due punishment, he was realeased from his binds by dungeon mistriss Rose"There..." She said "Doesen't the consious feel clean now?" "Like hell!" Edward grumbled rubbing his backside "I'm going to sleep on the couch tonight." He went out to the parlor and found the other sofa, (Not the one Minsk was sleeping on) He pressed a button located on the arm of the sofa, ans it instantly unfolded into a sofa bed. Edward climbed into the bed and quietly wept to himself, Than he felt something warm and furry lie down next to him. "Is that you Minsk?" He asked "Yes." Was the only answer Normaly Edward would not have allowed a Manimal to share the bed with him but... MS (No. -_- Just try and not be too psycho. :P)He didn't bother, as he wrapped Minsk around with his arm and slept. Minsk's eyes opened and looked at Edward. She raised her head to see his eyes tearing down still. She scooted a bit closer and nuzzled. Edward closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep, one he hadn't had for a long time. Meanwhile back at the basement, Nochi finally decrypted the files from the chip that Alice took. It showed every single name of every person that was kidnapped. Even some high classified ones. "Wow this is big." he said to himself. Back at Ultratech HQ, Vodku still was disguised as Famnistox. He was close to the main super computer, after he gets on all he has to do is leak info for the underground. Twiga Alice pushed a button on the computer it stopped at a certain name.'Eagle Redfeather' it read in big red letters 'Former assitant leader of the Dakota Tribe, Nearly died in a in a near-fatal fall from skyskraper in last year's Killer Instinct torniment' "Eagle?" Fossil was confused "Was that my name before I became a raptor?" "I assume it is..." Alice said The computer had more to say 'Subject suffered from extreme amneisa after his fall' "And they turned him into a raptor!" Nochi finished the computer Fossil was sillent. TJ rubbed his shoulder "So Fossil, or should I say Eagle..." He sighed deeply "Are you ready to file a lawsuit?" "TJ..I can't..." The Raptor brushed his hand away "I can't risk my life for something as petty as a lawsuit, I'd rather risk it in the arena." "Besides..." He said "I can't remember my human life and that won't hold up in court if I can't remember anything..." MS Nochi tapped his PC and thought a while."You won't have to..." he said with a smirk. He stood up and began to walk out the door. "Anybody seen Kave?" TJ's eyes snapped open and looked at Nochi. "I know where your getting at Nochi... It might be a good idea but would he be able to see past amnesia?" he asked. Nochi waved his finger a bit. "Kave can read the past of someone right? I bet he could see deep into his subconcious! THat's where most forgotten memory goes." Steve Ellen "It's worth a try, I guess," TJ said. "Where is Kave?" Nochi looked at TJ. "He was right here a minute ago. Talking about..." "About his home and his loved one and killing the High Elder!" TJ finished Nochi's sentence. "You don't think he was serious!" "Oh, he was serious. all right, but I didn't think he meant to do anything. Maybe he's just gone to the restroom for a moment." TJ clenched his fists. "I'm worried, Nochi. Kave isn't impulsive, usually, but when he gets an idea in his head he doesn't like to let it go until he's done something about it. I think we better call the others and tell them to keep an eye out for Kave." Twiga Kave was hanging out in the back of the basement watching everybody with his two eyesHe wasen't sure about this whole lawsuit idea, he wasn't sure if the High Elder would tolerate a lawsuit against him and his company. Maybe he would have them all killed on the spot "We need a lawyer." TJ said "Preferably an alien one." "An alien lawyer?" Fossil asked skepticly "Where do we get an alien lawyer?" Rodan suddenly looked very nervous, he rubbed his wing "Did you say alien?" He asked "Yes." TJ said "Do you know something Rodan?" "Well sort of..." He said "You see I was raised by an alien family, Aliens called Aves ...My mother was an Ave called Mezzle." "Your mother?" TJ asked "Well they just sort of adopted me." Rodan said MS (I like to note that Kave's kind are NOT aggresive and murderous! Don't make it like he is!) Twiga Kave walked slowly into the light, shyly and timidly he made his way toward the others"I...can see his past." He said "My eye has healed now." He postioned himself so his third eye faced Fossil, he looked for his past. "I see all the way back to your last human moments..." Kave said "You were young and powerful..." He continued "You were battling an android, an Ultratech, Weapon-Droid being tested before mass production..." Fossil began to feel himself remembering his last human moments, he remembered the battle with the droid... "You put up a valliant fight, but the robot self-destructed and you were sent flying off the skyscraper where the battle was taking place." Fossil closed his eyes and saw himself being knocked-off the edge off the skyscraper, he saw his body plummeting through the air, and landing in...a dumpster.... Meanwhile at Edward's house, Minsk realized it was already noon she didn't want Rose to see her and Edward sleeping together...She slipped out of bed and tiptoed over to the bedroom, she could hear Rose still snoring... She wondered how anyone could sleep so late, but than she realyzed she was among thieves, and thieves do most of there work at night. She realized that she was still naked after 24 hours she was still naked She turned to the coffee pot on the counter and figured the smell of coffee might help Edward wake up, after all he did buy her to cook, she took the pot and placed it under the coffee machine Steve Ellen Sure enough, as soon as the smell of hot coffee drifted through the rooms, Edward sat up and rubbed his eyes. Minsk sat on the edge of his sofa bed and put the cup of coffee in his hand. "Thanks," Edward said and sipped the coffee. "This is good." Minsk watched him drink. There was something she wanted to ask him that she knew maybe she shouldn't ask but it kept gnawing at her. Finally she blurted it out. "Edward, why do you let Rose beat you like that?" Twiga Edward nearly chocked on what he was drinking, but swallowed anyway, and got back his bearings"That's a very tricky subject." He said nearly squeaking "When we first met she seemed very sweet and innocent but than she started indtroducing kinky stuff into the relationship, it's difficult to explain but She has a very strong will that she exerts over me, I don't like what she does to me, but I don't want her to leave, because if she does leave she'll probally take all that humiliating infomation about me and have it published somewhere for everyone to see." Minsk got out some eggs and began cracking in them in a bowl. "I'm worried about you." She said "That woman will surly be the death of you." "You may be right..." Edward sighed "You may be right." Meanwhile in the wasteland Matoaka was resting while Zander was drivng Matoaka tired after a long week becided to look in the cooler, she searched through various things, milk, eggs, beans...but she coulden't find the very thing she wanted the most...strawberries. "Hopeless" She said "It's just hopeless..." "What's hopeless?" Zander asked "You must understand..." Matoaka said as Zander pulled over the Space Van, in the shade of a cliff "That when we mammals carry our children on the insides of our bodies we get explicit nutritional needs...In a way you Aves are lucky because you get to keep the child outside your body..." "So you've got a craving for food?" Zander asked not sure he understood what Matoaka was getting at "Yes, I just promised myself when I first became pregnant that I wouldedn't be one of those self-centered wives who send their husbands out in the middle of the night to fetch groceries but...I'm not sure if this is a pregnancy craving but simply a need for my favorite foodstuff as an anti-depressant after Minsk got lost..." "Well will you just tell me what it is?" Zander blurted out "Strawberries..." Matoka said MS Zander cooed a bit quizzilly and asked what strawberries."They are fruit on Earth long ago. I bet they still are grown. They are very tasty. You would LOVE them if you tried~!" she said. Zander nodded and took out a paper and pencil. When Matoaka announced the types of food they need, Zander wrote em down. Steve Ellen Zander looked at his list. Did Matoaka really think he could get all these things in the Wasteland? He looked up. "Mattie! We have to get out of this Wasteland to find this stuff!" Matoaka was drinking apple juice through a straw from a little drink box. "No! No! Just look for a General Store. There has to be one so all the old prospectors can buy food." "Old prospectors? What are you talking about?" "The Wasteland is full of old prospectors. Didn't you know that? They are looking for gold and uranium and gemstones and the fountain of youth if they can find it." Zander shrugged. "I had no idea. What about the lost forgotten tombs of ancient kings?" "Yes, those, too. Old prospectors will look for anything. And they have to eat, don't they? And buy supplies? Therefore..." "I get it," Zander said. "Therefore a General Store. The question is: Where's the store???" Twiga "That is easily figured out." Matoaka said "If you'll come with me a second I'll show you."They both exited the Van and walked out to the cliff that Zander had parked under "Here in the side of this cliff." Matoaka said "Are cravings that prospector use to help each other." She gestured to several carved symbols in the rock "This symbol here means General store nearby, This one means sexy daughters... this one means massive grave in mine." "Maybe we should get out of here." Zander said nervously "Oh Don't worry." Matoaka said "We're not in any danger from Zombies." Zander went on his to the General store leaving Matoaka in charge of the van Along the way Zander felt like he was being followed, he coulden't see anyone, hear anyone or even smell anyone but he could feel there was someone near him. Suddenly he felt a great blow to his head, he blacked out. When he woke up he was tied up, he opened his eyes and saw he was in a science lab of some kind... Instantly he began to panic, Where was he and Why was he here "Welcome." said a female voice Twiga Zander looked up and saw a young female woman with golden hair enter the room."I am Lady Du." The fair haired woman said "I am your gracious and most beautiful captor." "Captor?" Zander asked "Than I'm being held prisonor?" "For a little while." Lady Du said "Until we have the information we need." "Than I am to be interogated than." Zander was beginning to get his bearings back. "Don't worry you won't be dead when we're finished with you." She said "We got an anonymous phone call from a member of the thieve's guild saying her boyfriend was harboring an unregestered Manimal in their apartment." "How do you know weather a Manimal is regestered or not?" Zander asked "Very simple." Lady Du said "They will have a brand on the bottam of their foot stating their speices and regestration number." Two gaurds came in bringing in a struggling man. "This Thief by name of Edward, harbored one..." Steve Ellen "What does the manimal look like?" Zander asked. Lady Du checked her report. "It says she was a mink type of-" "That's Minsk!" Zander shouted. "Yes! I know her!" Back at the van, Matoaka's super intuitive sense was buzzing. "Something has happened to Zander," she murmured. Twiga Zander suddenly wished he had not said that for by doing so revealed that he was the one who let the six Manimals out that year so long ago.Lady Du grinned "Rest assured we know who your Minsk is and soon we'll have all the rest of them A body was lowered down from the celing, both Edward and Zander could see it was Minsk. A giant spider dangled over The Mink's body "She will not be harmed as long as you both cooperate." Lady Du said "She is asleep as you see we drugged her." Zander gulped it wasen't just that he was fighting for himself know he had to protect the sleeping Minsk. Lady Du approaching Zander and stroked his beak, Suddenly with one deft movement she removed all his clothes, pants shirt and all! Zander gasped and blushed with embaressment. His knees quivered trying to hide his balls. "Oh My." Lady Du said After Kave had seen into Fossil's past it became clear that Fossil would be the one to be the subject of the lawsuit. But first they would have to help him restore his lost memories. "OK. Fossil." TJ said "Think back. What was was your favorite foodstuff?" "I like raw meat." Fossil said "I mean before you were turned into a Manimal." TJ said "I don't think I actually had a favorite before I became a manimal." Fossil shrugged "I think he's telling the truth." Rodan said "In the Killer Instinct sign up sheets they have you list your favorite foodstuff among other things in your like and dislikes colum." "What your favorite?" Fossil asked "Fish." Rodan said "I kind of said I liked sashimi." Tanya said. "I put down that I liked spirits the drink not the thing." "Everyone. Let's stay on task." TJ said tapping his fin "Whose got the next fight?" Kave asked "I dunno." TJ said "Against a reptile creature they call Gorjira and a robot...I dunno seems kinda boring I think." MS Nochi cuckled a bit."What would a robot would do if it wins the whole competition?" he said. "Maybe Turn it into a robot pub? They don't care what they do with money. They got what they already needed. Their so called 'logic.'" said Kave. Twiga The Robot and Gorjira were squareing of in a fight Gorjira was a hybrid of many differnt reptiles who appeared to look like a minerture Godzillia.Suddenly the robot screeced and seemed to be in pain even before the match began. "My sensors are picking up a disturbance." The Robot said. A phone jack wire oozed out of the back of his head and entered a phone jack plug. Suddenly the TV in the arena which had been dipicting the fight had suddenly changed, the image on the TV changed to a gritty Lab Security video, showing Lady Du interogating Zander. Zander was tied to two posts he was buck naked They saw him from behind everyone in the arena did everyone could see the scars on his backside. "So..." Lady Du said tracing the sinuous cruve of his back "What do you know of Matoaka Redfeather?" "Gorjira got impatiant with Robot's hold up and shook him in order to snap him out of it, but this only clarified the picture on the TV showing everyone the Alien's interogation MS Everyone yelled for Gorjira to stop and continued to watch the interrogation. Zander continued to defy Lady Due."I am getting impatiant. Either you tell me or I'll make your life a living hell!" she yelled. Everyone in the arena started hissing and yelling. When the others got back into the arena room to see what the yelling was about, they saw the video of Lady Due interrogating and hitting Zander. "Oh my god! Is that Lady Due?!" yelled Fossil. "Obviously it is. Isn't she married to an Ultratech lord?" asked Nochi. Steve Ellen "Ultratech sucks," muttered somebody in the audience. There was a gasp, but then others started saying it. Within seconds most of the audience was stamping their feet and shouting "Ultratech sucks! Ultratech sucks!" Security guards poured in from every entrance and pointed their guns at the audience. From the loudspeakers came the shouted command of the officer-in-charge: "Silence! Silence or you will be arrested for disturbing the peace! Sit down and be quiet!" Twiga That made everyone be sillent, The chanting stopped the gaurds saw that the Robot's broadcasting was the source of the trouble, so thet unplugged it from the wall.After the robot shut down and the anger in the room shut down. The guards told everyone that today's match was cancelled until they can figure out what went wrong with the Robot. Gorjira was very angry, this was his first fight ever and he wasen't even able to start! He had no choice but to go back his chamber Meanwhile in the interogation chamber Lady Du stopped hitting Zander and started examing Zander's body "You are so very human even though you have evolved on an entirly different planet." She purred she turned her eyes to Zander's balls she stroked his shaft. Zander let out a gasp! Even though touching his privates hurt less than when she was hitting him. The sensation of someone other than his loved one touching him on his secret places was much more shocking to his system! Lady Du grinned she found a way to get him to talk. She walked around to his otherside and looked at his buttocks, She purred "Despite being an alien you have perfect buttocks," She licked her lips "You were certainly much better looking than that Jacobite over there," She gestured to Edward who was tied to a chair bound and gagged..."His buttocks were, how do you say, asymetrical..." Edward growled furiously through the cloth gag, His blue eyes sparkled with rage, How dare this woman insult him to his face?! Lady Du, took a srynge and Zander got nervous Was this some instrument of torture. But Lady Du merely knelt down to his legs and drew a sample of blood which she placed in the put in the sampling computer. "This is a computer that anilyzes blood." Lady Du said "This is espially good for alien life forms, it will tell us if there is any substance on Earth, that you find poisonous." The computer made a DING sound and a piece of paper printed out of the Fax Machine...Lady Du took hold of the paper and read it. "OK, let's see here..." It seemed that from this Alien's blood he was capable of eating anything a human being could eat. But than she noticed something, a certain fruit was highlighted, it wasen't fatal to consume, but had a narcotic effect on the creature. "Interesting..." She said She went to the cooler in the room and fetched the fruit. Zander's eyes widened when he saw it, It was the same shape and color of a heart, it was a strawberry "Do you know what this is?" Lady Du asked "It's a strawberry." She said "It is the most lovely fruit in the world." "Is it poisonous to me?" Zander asked "No." She grinned "It will give you super orgasims it will give you the best sex you ever had." Meanwhile back at the Arena Fossil and Nochi stood all by themselves reflecting on what they just saw "Matoaka Redfeather." Fossil said "I remember that name, But I don't know from where she sounds like family." "Maybe she was of your tribe." Nochi said MS Fossil rubbed his chin thinking a bit. "You could be right... Maybe when I was human I might known her..." he said some more. Nochi sighed and frowned feeling remorse for the alien. The thought of his badly scarred body hurts him emotionally. "That alien.... I can't believe it... I wish there was something we can do..." he said. Twiga (101 additions, and yet we still haven't reached the end of the story 0_0)Fossil clutched his head as if he had a headache, "Ow..." The Dinosaur said "I feel as if I'm getting a memory rush." Nochi held onto Fossil to keep him from falling. "I remember..."Fossil said "A girl of 18 years of age, I knew her since she was very small she had eyes like starlight..." Than suddenly he snapped to life. "Matoaka is my neice!" He exclaimed "I remember now she ran away from the resevation because the Chief wanted to arrange her marriage to a boy of the other tribe. I helped her escape in the middle of the night and I never saw her again..." Fossil raised a claw to his lips, because certain things didn't add up. "What connection would my neice have to that alien?" He asked himself "Lady Du said she was looking for Manimals who escaped before regestrration..." Fossil looked on the bottom of his right foot. On his foot someone had taken a hot iron to his foot and and branded the words Raptor # X-51, he didn't remember the hot iron being placed on his foot but he assumed it was during his transformation from man to reptile... Than suddenly it all clicked...The Legendary Six...Six young Manimals who escaped the labs before their transformation was complete! Before they could be branded with a hot iron with their identification... Meanwhile at the Lab. Zander looked at the fruit in Lady Du's hand and was at the crossroads of thought...On one hand the berry was the very thing Matoaka was craving, the very thing he promised to get her..on the other he he knew he coulden't trust this Lady of Ultratech, she woulden't just give him anything for no reason, she had an ace up her sleeve. He looked to the table at the corner, Minsk was still asleep, wrapped in spider silk and a spider the size of a large dog was poised above her ready to bite. He looked to the thief lord, still bound and gagged to the chair, his eyes never leaving the Mink. Zander finally came to a conclutisn "All right." He said "I'll eat the strawberry if you promise not to hurt the mink." "That's easily managed." She said but she was laughing, almost as if he were the butt of the biggest joke in the world. Zander's long frog-like toungue snaked out, wrapped around the berry and pulled it into his mouth, he swallowed it whole... As soon as he swallowed something strange happaned to him, a great pain in his stomach formed, Lady Du, undid his restraints but Zander hardly noticed...He clutched his stomach and hot tears stung his eyes the pain was unbearable! Suddenly the pain switched position, suddenly his groin felt like it was on fire! He let out a moan as his tool became hard as a rock... Edward was watching the whole thing and he felt a deep fear inside him, whatever effect that fruit had on that alien it surly was the worst thing he ever saw! The cries of pain the came from the Bird's throat didn't sound remotly human. Zander felt raw lust overpowering his logic and his memory, his loins hurt so bad, one thought raged in his brain 'NEED SEX NOW' Suddenly Zander let out a most inhuman screech, he lept on top of Lady Du and began to thrust into her! "OH OH! OH GOD!" Lady Du screamed "SOMEONE! ANYONE! HELP ME!" The screaming woke up Minsk who managed to get away from the spider. She saw Edward tied to a chair and used her claws to free him "What is going on?" She asked "I don't know but I think whatever has come over him we need to snap him out of it!." Edward said MS (ROFL! XD And yay! Im all better now! No more anger. =3)Minsk and Edward looked around for anything to help Zander. They can still hear screams from Lady Due and Zander. Minsk looked around for a syringe. Anything that acts like a sedative. "Minsk! FInd anything quick! Anything that looks like a needle!" he said. Minsk searched around the table pushing other equipment until she got something that looked like a needle. Twiga Quickly Minsk stuck the needle in the back of Zander's thigh. Zander let out a high picth squak that sounded like a heron in pain. Edward grabbed the much thinner and lighter male by the waste and lifted him off the lady.Zander gasped for air, his eyes were red as if he had been crying...Semen dribbled off the end of his staff, weather or not he had an orgasm was anyone's guess. Minsk gasped when she took a closer look at Zander's tool, it seemed to have grown incredibly swollan! It had grown one inch longer in leangh and had big bulgy veins showing. As Zander panted for breath, he seemed to be reterning to a normal state of mind... "What happened?" He asked "You don't remember?" Edward asked "No..." Zander said "All I remember was a sharp pain in my stomach and..." He looked and saw "Oh gods..." Zander said "It can't be..." Lady Du lay helpless and panting on the floor, her panty hose ripped and thrown aside, her quirem bleeding. "I did this didn't I?" Zander asked putting his hands to his beak "I...raped her.." "You were drugged." Edward said placing his hand on the alien's shoulder "That fruit she fed you made you go off the deep end, if anything she asked for it." "That still does not change what I did." Zander seemed horrified himself "Zander." Minsk said "I think whatever she fed you caused your...meat to grow and swell..." Steve Ellen "It was a strawberry," Zander said. "The very thing Matoaka wanted me to find." "Well, you found them," Edward said. "Grab as many as you can and let's get out of here!" Matoaka had been sitting in the Space Van with her head in her arms, crying loudly. "All Hell has broken loose! I can feel it!" But then she looked up and smiled. "Something has happened to make things better. Oh damn this vague intuitive sense! I won't know what's really happening until I see Zander again, but I have to suffer all these emotional ups and downs anyway. It would be better if I had no intuition at all!" Gorjira sat in his chamber smoking a cigarette. Damn machine opponents! Too much connectivity. They should ban the internet from the fight arena. Now Gojira's debut as a fighter had been spoiled by some doofus robot who would rather show home movies than get down to fighting. Gojira smushed out the ciggie. By God, when he did finally get to fight he would show the crowd what teeth and claws could do! He let out a mighty roar that made all the walls of the fighters' chambers vibrate. One little fighter from a planet of pixies squeaked, "Holy Cow! What was THAT!? I hope I don't have to fight it!" Twiga Zander gathered the strawberries and quickly helped Minsk and Edward escaped.All the while the sensitivity in Zander's genitals was distracting even though he may have just had an orgasm he still felt like he wanted to come. They found their way out of the science lab, out an underground passage. Zander felt extremely cold despite the warm air of the wasteland. "Is something the matter?" Minsk asked when she heard him sniffling. "Minsk..." Zander said "I just raped a woman, how could I not be upset?" "Personaly I'd be more upset if a woman raped me than the other way around..." Edward said sardonicly "Ha, ha." Zander said coldly "Very funny. But that just shows your ignorance of my spieces..." Twiga Meanwhile TJ Combo, sat in his new apartment contemplating his future."Now that I've won my citizenship I wonder if Alice still needs me..." He thought to himself "If Fossil is unwilling to go through with this lawsuit I suppose I could ask Alice if she wants to sponsor Fossil." A knock on the door sounded...TJ opened the door it was Tiamat "Hi." She said "I just wanted to talk to you about something..." "And that is?" TJ asked "My involvement with Gallia." Tiamat said softly "And with their leader Reg Shoe..." Steve Ellen TJ sighed. "Surely Reg Shoe has forgotten all about you by now. Didn't you say you were only 14 when you met him?" Tiamat huffed. "That doesn't mean he has forgotten me. Anyway, the problem is that I haven't forgotten him. I sent him a letter." "What did you say in the letter?" TJ asked. Twiga Meanwhile at the Flying Van Zander and Minsk greeted Matoaka who was overjoyed to see them both."Oh Darling I'm so glad you're here!" She said giving Zander a big smooch. "And Minsk my sister of spirit I'm so glad you've come to us again!" She said nuzzling noses with the mink. Than she saw Edward "Who is this?" She asked Minsk Minsk cleared her throat..."Matoaka..." She said "This is Edward he helped me escape ..." Matoaka wasen't quite sure what to beilieve at first but she quickly got a hold of herself. "Come." She said "I'm sure you are all exsuasted..." As they entered Zander said "I got you the strawberries you asked for..." "Oh Zander thank you." The Unicorn said as she reached for the russack "Where did you find these?" "That's complicated to explain." Zander said "And I mean really complicated to explain!" He turned to Edward "Let me speak to her alone for a few minutes." "I've got no problom with that." Edward sighed as he collaped in a chair. They entered a private section in the van, Zander cleared his throat "Matoaka I have to tell you something...I was captured by a Lady of Ultratech, she took a sample of my blood and put it in a computer to see if there was anything on Earth that was toxic to me..." He sighed and ran his talons through his feather creast, now came the difficult part "She discovered that Strawberries would have a curious effect on me I had no way of knowing but when I ate the strawberry it caused me great pain and...Well let me show you..." He pulled down his trousers and Matoaka gasped at what she saw "Oh Zander!" She exclaimed "That looks so painful!" "It is." Zander said "But the worst part is my constant arousal, I want to come, but...I mean look at the size of my crotch now! There is no way we can possibly make love now my crotch is as long as switch blade knife!" MS After explaining what else happened, Matoaka gasped and stared down at the strawberries. Zander turned away and cried not facing Matoaka, fearing she hated him for that. But she laid her hand on his shoulder."Its not your fault love... Maybe it was mine for letting you get them in the first place..." she said. Twiga Zander touched Matoka's hand and smiled gently."Maybe it's not permanent." The Unicorn said "Maybe we can find a way to get it back to normal." "I sure hope so..." Zander said squeezing her hand "But...It just hurts so much." "Maybe one appitite can overpower the over, maybe if you eat something you'll get better." "Is it Marzipan or Minsk whose cooking?" Zander asked "I think Minsk is too tired to cook tonight." She said "Marzi said that if you came home safe tonight she'd make blackend tuna since she knows you like fish." Marzi and Minsk were glad that there rivalry had ended, Minsk said she would help Marzi make her dish since she was too tired to cook the entire meal herself. "I'm sorry I trided to prove myself better than you." Minsk said Steve Ellen "No need to be sorry," Marzipan said. "It takes two to compete and I do like to compete." "You're a good cook," Minsk said. "You are, too," Marzi said, "so let's get this dinner cooked." Later, when the meal was eaten and everybody was still sitting around the table, Zander said, "That was really delicious! Just what I needed." Matoaka nudged him and whispered, "Did it cure your problem?" Twiga Zander reluctanly turned his thoughts to his member again, he lightly touched it with his talons to see if it had gotten smaller...No such luck it was still as large as it was before."No..." He said so quietly it was almost a whisper "It hasen't." Matoaka felt truly bad for him, she felt guilty has if it were her fualt he had gotten this way "Maybe if I drink a little more wine it will soften me up." Zander said as he filled his glass with a little more wine He drank deeply from his glass and as he predicted he felt himself go numb everywhere He felt himself get sleepier he leaned his head on Matoaka's shoulder they headed off to bed The End! © Copyright 2009 Twiga, MS, Steve Ellen, (known as GROUP).
