Dark Desires
Written by Pink

Prologue

A gentle breeze rolled along the hilltops of Ragol, carrying fallen leaves and puffs of pollen from the flowers. The breeze climbed, high along the land to where a figure kneeled, her fierce green eyes, glowing within the shade of a nearby evergreen, gazed at a ship passing overhead. She had seen this same ship many times before. The Pioneer 2, constantly orbiting Ragol. Why have these people come and disturbed this land? What possible benefit could they find here?
The figure, stood, the sun shimmering slightly off of her coat of brown fur. Her cat-ears perked up at the sound of the breeze, and she constantly keeps watching her surroundings, letting none of the creatures of Ragol take her by surprise. She truly was quite a sight. Wearing a loose-fitting, purple, tank top, and medium length, purple shorts, her pink hair stretched down to her waist in a long ponytail. Her claws gleamed in the sunlight, kept razor sharp so she can defend herself, and her tail, stiff and alert as she eyed the horizon.
As long as these people do not bother me, I see no reason in interfering with them. With this one last thought, the cat-like woman dashed off along the plains of Ragol, staying low and moving quickly in search of food, and living yet another day.

Chapter 1 – Biological Research

On board the Pioneer 2, a medium-sized FOnewearl, wearing a yellow and red divided skirt and top and red shorts, with wavy black hair with a large, red bow tied into it, walked along the commercial sector of the city. She was out looking for the latest news about Ragol. This FOnewearl had a particular interest with the planet and its life forms.
She stumbled across a large bulletin board during her search, finding an unusual advertisement on it. “What’s this?” exclaimed the FOnewearl as she reached out and took down the flier to inspect it more closely.

Attention: Hunters needed for biological study on the surface of Ragol!

All hunters interested please see Madam Vivian in the lab sector 7G.

This could be my chance to finally see more of Ragol. I think I’ll go check this out. The FOnewearl quickly made her way back to her apartments to get the supplies she needed. Her red Sato welcoming her with a friendly purr as she entered the room, “Now let’s see, what would I need to bring with me to Ragol?” she thought aloud.
Gazing about her room she set eyes on the small, uncomfortable bed that her room had come with, as well as the cheap dresser, a table, and a couple of chairs. “They had enough money to make all of the fancy shops, labs, and other technologies on this ship, but they couldn’t even give all the residents decent furniture… typical.” The FOnewearl grumbled to herself as she moved over to a small chest beside her bed and removed a Blue Ring, a Windmill, and a Double Saber.
With her Sato by her side and her supplies with her, the FOnewearl quickly made her way out of the room and off towards the lab sectors of Pioneer 2. She made sure to avoid bumping into anyone or disturbing anyone as she hurried across the ship. I always feel uneasy coming to the lab sectors… they are always doing such strange experiments here.
Eventually coming across the lab entrance she entered and found sector 7G where a small group of hunters were already gathered. Amongst the crowd, the FOnewearl spotted two of her friends. One, a large red RAcast, with a powerful Yasminkov 7000V strapped to his back, and the other, snuggled against his arm, was a dark purple HUcaseal, her metallic hair in the shape of a pointed, ponytail as she gazed at the RAcast. Quickly moving over to them the FOnewearl called out, “Striker, Raiden, hello!”
Striker and Black Raiden turned to see the FOnewearl quickly moving towards them. “Cranberry, I thought I’d see you here today.” Black Raiden replied as Cranberry moved up beside them.
“You’re just in time, Cranberry. Madam Vivian is supposed to arrive very shortly.” Striker stated, and the very second he finished, a short, pink haired FOmarl suddenly burst into the room. Wearing a red and black flowing robe, pointed at the shoulders, her hair tied with a black and white ribbon, her eyes glowed fiercely, bright red in colour.
As the FOmarl shoved her way through the crowd and made her way to a pedestal, there were many angry comments at how rude she was being. The FOmarl cleared her throat and waited for silence amongst the crowd within the small meeting room before continuing. “Good afternoon ladies, gentlemen… and androids. I am the one who called you here today, Madam Vivian. I have requested the aide of the hunters aboard Pioneer 2 because I desire to learn more about this planet, Ragol, and to figure out if there is some way to make the creatures that live on Ragol harmless. I propose to do this by collecting detailed biological data about each creature on Ragol so it can be carefully analysed to find out how we may be able to manipulate these creatures so they will no longer be a threat. You, the hunters, are to bring in, preferably live specimens for study here at the lab. The task will be dangerous and is not for the weak of heart, so I ask anyone who is not up to the challenge of spending long periods of time on Ragol, tracking down and brining in various creatures that I request, I recommend that you leave now.”
Vivian paused at this point in her speech. Her furious red eyes looked around the room for anyone leaving. Five hunters left after a moment, satisfied, Vivian continued, “For the first task you will all be working alone. I am doing this because I want to make sure you are all individually capable of looking after yourselves. I will pay you for your services so it should cover the cost of supplies as well as give you some money for your pocket. Now please talk to my representative at the main desk. You will receive a map clearly indicating the area in which you are to hunt, and the type of creature I am requesting. This may only be your first job, but I want every specimen to be living this time. Those who fail to bring in a live specimen that I requested will be dismissed. On the maps there will also be areas marked that you are not to tread foot on. These areas are very dangerous and anyone trespassing on this property may not find his or her self alive very long. Now without further delay… get to work!” As she finished, Vivian stormed out of the room in much the same manor as she entered, leaving the crowd angered.
“I swear, no matter how many times I see the woman, she still creeps me out.” Raiden stated once Vivian was clearly out of the room.

“So what do you two make of all of this?” Cranberry asked curiously.

“I don’t like the idea of being separated from Raiden one bit, but at least it sounds like we’ll be able to go in groups after the first job.” Striker replied, showing concern.

“I don’t like having to go alone either, but I do need the money, and I really want a chance to see more of Ragol.” Cranberry stated excitedly. “Come on! Let’s hurry and get our assignment!” Cranberry dashed towards the main desk while saying this.

“Where did she suddenly get so much energy?” Raiden stated, laughing at Cranberry as they followed.

After a somewhat lengthy wait, each of the three had their map and their assigned species. “Well, well, well… I get to bring in a Savage Wolf. How… coincidental.” Striker laughed as he read his assignment paper.

“Aww… I get to bring in a Rag Rappy.” Raiden said, putting an obvious cuteness into her voice. “What did you get assigned Cranberry?” She asked curiously.

Cranberry’s faced looked pale as she looked at her assignment, not wanting to say what it was. “What’s up Cranberry?” Striker asked, getting concerned when seeing Cranberry’s face.

“Hildeblue…” Cranberry let out with a sigh. “Sure… let the Fire Mage go find the rare one. You two got easy assignments. Vivian owes me an extra quarter for this!” Cranberry shouted out, causing a few spectators to stare.

Raiden and Striker merely shook their heads at Cranberry’s reaction. “I’m sure you will find it eventually. At least they gave you an area where a few have been seen recently.” Raiden reassured Cranberry, patting her shoulder to calm her.

Suddenly a voice penetrated the crowd, demanding its attention, “All of those hunters that have received their assignment, please depart now for Ragol in the teleporter in the next room. This is not an option.”

“Well I guess this is where we part ways for now.” Cranberry commented sadly as she watched her friends leave towards the teleport, taking them down to Ragol. After a moment, Cranberry followed, set the coordinates that her map provided, and became engulfed in the teleportation energy as she entered the teleport down to Ragol.

As the teleportation field left her, she appeared in a small clearing within a thick forest. The shadows of the trees stretched out before her, the sun still rather high in the sky. “Well, I guess I may as well get looking. Come on Sato.” Cranberry stated and then readied her gear and made her way into the forest, not sure what to expect from the inner woods.

Chapter 2 – A FOnewearl, a Hunt, and a Possible Loss of Sanity

Cranberry slowly crept her way through the shadowy woods, leaving marks on many of the trees she passed so she would not get lost. When Cranberry arrived at another small clearing, she stood straight up with her hands on her hips, looked around and stated; “Now if I was a Hildeblue, where would I be? It’s a big and dark forest with who knows what laying in wait to attack.”
She kept moving along the trees, being careful not to trip on the roots beneath her feet. Sato followed Cranberry closely, helping her keep watch. The pair of them kept walking for some time, the sun slowly making its way lower in the sky. “Okay Cranberry lets assess the situation. You’re in a big, dark forest, and getting darker by the second. You’re looking for a very rare creature and have to bring it in alive no less. It’s getting closer to night when there may be more creatures about, and you seem to have developed a habit of talking to yourself.” After an awkward pause, Cranberry finished, “What have I gone and gotten myself into?”
Suddenly a noise caught Cranberry’s attention and she swung around to look at where it came from, but she accidentally got her big FOnewearl shoes caught on a root and went tumbling face first. She fell and began tumbling uncontrollably down a steep hill. Cranberry screamed as she continued to pick up speed and tumble further and faster towards the ground below. The ground gave way below her, sending Cranberry flying off of a rather steep cliff. She landed on her face on the ground below with a large thud, lying motionless for moment.
After a few moments Cranberry let out a groan and pushed herself to her feet. After a quick Resta spell, Cranberry felt a lot better and decided to look around. “I wonder where on Ragol I just stumbled. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find a Hildeblue’s…” Cranberry cut-off as she caught sight of a large number of lights coming from an area deeper within the forest; she quickly made her way through the trees and positioned herself behind a large oak tree to gaze at the strange sighting she was witnessing.
What looked to be a large industrial station was located in the clearing in front of Cranberry. Smoke billowing from the vents above the building. It look like a large, metallic dome, with a wide opening at the front where the light Cranberry had seen was pouring out into the now almost pitch-black forest. Noises from within the station could be heard; the sound of machines working and pressurized steam being released. I’d better go check this out. Something about this place just doesn’t feel right.
Cranberry began slowly creeping towards the building, not knowing what to expect. She managed to make her way to the entrance, carefully poking her head around the side of the entrance to peak in. Cranberry could not see anything but a large entry hallway, going deep within the building, making its way downward. The entire place looked to be constructed by some form of stainless steel.
Before Cranberry could take two more steps, something suddenly impacted with her and grasped her, wrapping her arms hopelessly to her sides and wrapping her legs together. Someone kicked her in the back after this, sending her sprawling onto the ground. When she turned her head, Cranberry saw a tall and dark HUmar staring at her. A scar over his left eye, wearing standard black HUmar armour as he snarled at Cranberry, “You should never have come here!” the man stated with a growl, “You must be destroyed. You have seen too much.”
Cranberry went wide-eyed as the HUmar unsheathed his Sange, knelt down and held it at Cranberry’s throat. “Now is your time to die, FOnewearl.” he said as he gripped the Sange, preparing to slit Cranberry’s throat.
Cranberry gaped in horror at the weapon, only to see it suddenly fall harmlessly beside her. She looked up at the HUmar and nearly screamed when she saw his eyes glazed over. His mouth was dripping blood, and she knew that he was dead. The man was tossed aside revealing a dark figure. Cranberry stared at this figure; its glowing green eyes resembled those of a cat’s. The figure suddenly revealed its claws again and sliced off Cranberry’s bonds, “Go on, and get out of here!” a fierce female’s voice came suddenly from the figure, “I should have just let you die! Now get out of here before any other guards come!”

Unable to bring herself to move, Cranberry asked, “Who… who are you?”

“I said go! Don’t make me have to kill you myself!” answered the figure with a snarl.

“Please… I want to know the name of the one who saved me.” Cranberry pleaded, her legs still feeling like pudding.

“Fine… I am the one known as Pink. A creature of this planet.” Pink answered once more, getting impatient with Cranberry.

“From… here? You live on Ragol?!” Cranberry gasped, amazed by the statement.

“Yes, you and the rest of the scum that came on that ship, you’ve been doing what you please to the planet on which I live and because of you filthy scum it has become much more dangerous to live here.” Pink growled, suddenly taking Cranberry in her paw-like hands and yanked her to her feet. “Now get going! I have no more time to spend with someone like you! Just don’t get yourself killed.”

She shoved Cranberry back towards the forest, nearly causing her to fall flat on her face. “Well… since you know this place… you um… wouldn’t happen to know where I could find a Hildeblue would you?” Cranberry asked, deciding to take advantage of the opportunity.

“There’s a Hildeblue nest a little ways into the forest in that direction!” Pink thrust her claw out a little to the west of north. “Now get going before I decide to silence you myself.”

“Thank you!” Cranberry quickly let out as she scurried away from the creature, taking a quick look at the dead HUmar lying near her feet. There was a deep claw-like gash all up his back, and four deep wounds near the centre of his back. Cranberry swallowed hard when she saw this. I’m glad I didn’t bother her anymore than I did… if her claws can penetrate a HUmar’s armour so easily… I wouldn’t want to have to feel what it’s like to get claws in the back from her.
Cranberry made sure to keep in a straight path, heading directly in the direction Pink pointed out for her. I wonder why I haven’t seen a single monster yet. I’ve been on Ragol for hours and haven’t even spotted so much as a Booma yet. She continued making her way along the dark forest. Walking slower now because she cannot see the roots clearly beneath her feet. I don’t want to stumble down another cliff… that hurt.
Cranberry suddenly found herself face first in the dirt, a sudden shockwave had sent her hurdling towards the ground. As she turned around and prepared her Windmill, she saw what she had been looking for. The large Hildeblue stared down at Cranberry, rising for a moment to beat its chest with its large hands and cry out. Now how the heck am I supposed to bring that thing in alive? It’s huge! As Cranberry got up and quickly got out of the way of the Hildeblue she made sure to look at her surroundings. She looked at all the long, low-hanging tree branches scattered along the area. She tried pulling on one, to her surprise the heavy branch easily bent with her pull. This gives me an idea! Quickly dodging another swing of the Hildeblue’s fist, Cranberry shot a large ball of Foie at the monster’s back, causing it to cry out in pain.
Cranberry began to put her plan into action. Keeping the monster at bay with smaller balls of Foie, Cranberry looked around for the largest low-hanging branch she could find. Having to quickly leap out of the way of the monster’s ice breath, she shot a larger ball of Foie at it to get it to stop. The Hildeblue thundered towards Cranberry in a rage, wanting to squash her like an insect. Cranberry saw this as her time to strike, and giving the monster a little more encouragement with two more small balls of Foie, she jumped behind the branch she had chosen, pulled it back as far as she could manage, angled it upwards, and released it. The branch smashed the Hildeblue in the face, causing it to fall on its back, unconscious.
“It worked!” Cranberry cried out in joy, quickly running over to the unconscious Hildeblue. She kicked it with her shoe a couple of times just to make sure it was out cold. Cranberry reached into her pack and got out some photon-based rope she had brought with her. She began to tie up the Hildeblue, struggling immensely with its weight. The rope was strong enough not to break from the Hildeblue’s strength. Cranberry tied the rope tightly around the Hildeblue’s arms and legs, making sure it wasn’t going to be getting free before she wanted it to.

[pink]

Cranberry got out her map to check her position, and groaned when she noticed the teleporter was a decent distance away, although not so far that she should just Telepipe back to Pioneer 2. Looking at the unconscious Hildeblue one more time, Cranberry groaned “Oh this is going to suck…” Grabbing the end of the rope in both hands, Cranberry heaved, trying to get the big creature to move. Cranberry managed to get it moving using a rather large amount of effort, dragging the creature slowly along the forest floor. Quickly working herself into a sweat she heaved as hard as she could, wanting to get the Hildeblue back to Pioneer 2
She made her way slowly along the forest, her eyes now adjusted to the darkness around her. Pulling with everything she could manage, the teleporter coming into view a distance ahead of her. “Come on you big lug, let’s get you back to the creepy woman.” Cranberry joked, dragging the Hildeblue further. Stepping into the teleporter, she and the Hildeblue were quickly engulfed by the energy and sent back to Pioneer 2.
“Here’s your stupid Hildeblue!” Cranberry shouted at Vivian’s representative when she returned to the lab. “Next time get an android to fetch one of these things! They’re way too heavy!”

“Ah yes, you must be Cranberry. How nice of you to finally get back. Everyone else has been home for hours and has gone to bed by now.” the representative mocked as he looked at the expression on Cranberry’s face.

“Vivian owes me a quarter for this. GIVE QUARTER NOW!” Cranberry shouted with a fearsome look on her face.

“You will get the assigned payment and that is all.” the representative snorted as he tossed Cranberry a large sack of mesta. “Now just go back to your room and get some sleep. When next we need your services, we will contact you.”

Cranberry stuck her tongue out at the representative when he turned his back, then she turned and headed off to her room. Well that was the least amount of fun I’ve had in a long time. Every fibre in my body is aching. That crummy bed in my room is looking real nice right about now. Cranberry and her Sato eventually got back to the room, where Cranberry merely kicked off her shoes, fell onto her bed, and went to sleep.

Chapter End

Chapter 3 Teaser:

Cranberry managed to fetch herself the Hildeblue, but what other sort of work could Madam Vivian have for her? Just what exactly is Pink and why did she save Cranberry? Did Striker and Raiden succeed to bring in their much easier creatures? Find out, later on.

[Darkwolf30]

Wow nice fanfic. Took me awhile to read but its good.

[pink]

Thanks. I noticed that the copying and pasting process messed up all my paragraph indentations... hopefully that doesn't make it too too difficult to read.

[Darkwolf30]

Nope it was nice and easy to read and if flowed very well.

[Phantom_RAcast]

It's interesting so far and well written. By the way did you get the character names from online players?

[pink]

Yeah. They're very good friends of mine. While two of them so far are my own characters.

I'll put up the next two chapters tomorrow.

Chapter 3 – The Mechanics of the Forest

Pink watched the creature she just saved run off into the forest, keeping a close eye on her until she was completely out of sight. Strange creatures these… humans… are. Clumsy too, getting caught so easily. She looked down upon the male human she had just slain in order to save the female human’s life. They’re rather weak too. She knelt down and decided to look through his equipment to see if he had been carrying anything useful.
“What’s this?” she exclaimed as she looked curiously at a sheathed blade by the human’s side. She picked the blade up and examined it closely, sliding her claws along the edge. Slight sparks jumped as her claws grinded against the blade. This blade happened to be a Sange, and to her unfortunate surprise, it wasn’t in very good condition.
She decided to take a moment to sharpen the blade using her claws, slight sparks continuing to jump, growing less numerous as the blade’s edge became finer, and sharper. This may come in handy in a pinch.
The sun had descended overhead, and the stars were starting to appear overhead. I wonder what that strange female human wanted. She seemed out of place here. Everyone else I’ve seen in this area wore uniforms, while she wore more casual clothing and that red bow… After investigating the dead human a bit more, finding nothing useful to her, she discarded the body into the dark trees and took the Sange and its sheath with her. Let’s see what these humans are up to in my home.
She had been investigating this particular human structure for quite some time, never actually entering the inside of it. She knelt low to the ground and carefully made her way to the entrance, leaning her head into the light-enveloped entrance.
Inside all she could see was a large, unadorned hallway. It was a fairly, roughly put together structure, with the original steel beams being used as a ceiling. Many different paths were strewn about the hall in front of her, but there seemed to be no activity. I guess now is a good time for some investigating… and if I disapprove… a bit of demolition! She ran straight into the hallway, the only sound she made was the tiny clink of the tips of her lower claws hitting against the steel flooring. Anything important will likely be in the centre of this structure. Her goal being the centre, she ran as swiftly and as silently as she could in order to avoid detection.
She stopped abruptly as she came across what looked to be a map on the wall. Gazing at it carefully she looked at the various stations listed on it. Security offices… likely don’t want to go there. Administration… that probably wouldn’t be a good idea either. Utility… that’s highly uninteresting. Biological and psychological experiment area… I’d better investigate; they may be tampering with fellow creatures of this planet! She quickly memorized the safest way to reach the experiment station and set off at a quick pace down more of the bland hallways.
As she ran deeper within the human structure, she started hearing very unusual noises. The sounds of grinding gears and active mechanical belts began filling the hallways. More and more branches lead to offices and storage rooms. One particular room caught her eye though. Food storage… well… I am a fair bit hungry… She crept up to the door and peeked inside the window. Two guards… this should be easy enough.
Watching the guards within the small room carefully, she slide the door open enough to squeeze in, and shut it carefully behind her while their backs were turned. She quickly slid behind a group of food crates. She knelt in the darkness there, keeping her eyes low so they would not reflect the light. She patiently waited for one of the guards to walk near her position. When one of the guards passed in front of her, she leapt out of her darkness and dug her claws into his shoulders, easily piercing his armour, and she sunk her fangs into his neck. She quickly released, letting him drop with a thud to the floor and she spit out the blood in her mouth while quickly running for the second guard who was trying to escape. He was getting a bit too close to escaping so she decided to take out her new Sange and throw it at the escaping guard. The sword quickly pierced through his abdomen and he fell to the floor, blood leaking out onto the floor.
Once the guard was clearly dead, she walked up to him, pulled her sword free, and cleaned the blade on the guard’s pants. Sheathing the Sange, she licked her lips and went to look inside the nearest food crate. Inside the crate was an enormous stock of fruits. Apples, bananas, pears, peaches, and grapefruit were all crammed together within the crate. I think I’ll grab a bite to eat before moving on. The security here seems to be rather poor; they must still be working on this structure.
With a smile, Pink scooped up a few different fruits and decided to make a feast of it. Gobbling down several apples and bananas and a few others somewhat quickly because of her situation. After getting her fill, she decided to take a storage bag from one of the guards and fill it with food. No point in wasting good food! She filled the bag as much as she good before it would become troublesome to carry then peaked out into the hall and set out for the experiment station again.
She was rather close to the station after leaving the food storage room, and after taking only a few turns, having to check another map along the way, she reached what looked to be the entrance to the experiment station. She poked her head around the corner very carefully so as not to be spotted, and quickly assessed the situation. I can see where all the security is now… it’s pretty heavily guarded. There might actually be enough of them to cause me some serious harm. She quickly checked around for any other possible entrance into the main room, spotting an air duct towards the top of the wall just above her head. It’s a bit cliché… but why not? Bending down, and pushing off the ground with great force, she leaped up to the air duct and dug her lower and upper claws into the wall so she would not fall. She quietly removed the metal covering of the air duct and climbed inside, replacing the covering as she entered it.
Her keen eyes allowed her to see quite clearly in the darkness of the vent. She crawled her way along, taking the turns she thought would most likely lead her to the main room. The light hum of a far away fan could be heard as she made her way, a slight clink being made from both sets of her claws. Coughing a bit from the dust rising into the air, she kept moving until she spotted a patch of light nearby.
Her prediction was indeed correct as she looked down into the massive room below her. Strangely enough there did not seem to be any sign of human activity in the room. Most of them must have gone to sleep…
She slowly climbed out of the vent, setting the metal covering within the air duct this time and she dropped to the floor far below her, breaking her fall a bit by somersaulting upon hitting the ground.
The room she was in was absolutely enormous. All along the outside rim of the walls there were what looked to be pods filled with creatures. A green substance filled each pod and the creatures remained motionless. A large electrode was also attached to each pod, and the cord from the electrode made its way to a gigantic computerized electrical supply that was attached to the ceiling. There was also a large gate at the far end of the room it looked to be used for transferring objects of incredible size. There must have been a few hundred pods scattered along the walls. Some were large, some were small, but they were all filled with the green liquid and they all had the electrode attached on the top. What the heck is going on here?

[pink]

Slowly, she approached one of the pods and whipped away the fog that was obscuring the view of the creature inside; the creature inside made Pink step back, a look of absolute disgust on her face. She hissed and glared at the pod, “These humans think they can just land here and do what they please to my home planet! This is outrageous! I’m sure there must be some of their own species that would agree too!”
“Now just who might you be?” a man’s voice called from the far side of the room, “I know you certainly don’t belong here. I also have no idea what exactly you are supposed to be.”
“What I am is none of your concern.” Pink sneered, “…and quite frankly, you are the one that is at fault here! Just what do you think you are doing to these creatures?!”
The man broke out in a fit of laughter and after a brief moment, snickered, “We do what we want to these creatures. Perhaps you would like a small demonstration!” He waved his hand towards the large gate and it slowly started to open. A huge boom came from the gate, growing louder and louder. It sounded almost like a footstep of some enormous creature. “Well stranger, I’d like you to meet one of our proudest creations, the Deteriosaur!”
The “Deteriosaur” came into view. It reminded Pink of a dragon with its large, lizard-like head and sharp teeth. Its yellow eyes staring directly at her, it also had large, spiralling horns on its head and a long tail covered by what looked to be very sharp spikes. The entire creature was covered in green scales, with yellowish scales on its jaw and lower belly. It also lacked hands, but its enormous feet and claws kept it well balanced. What caught Pink’s eye the most though were the gigantic tanks of green, bubbling liquid stored on its back. The casing around the tanks looked like glass, but it seemed a lot more secure than glass would be. A pipe of the same material came from both tanks and attached itself to either end of the creature’s jaw.
“I’ll show you what my pet here can do.” With another gesture the floor in the centre of the room opened up and a conveyor raised a huge chunk of bronze in front of the Deteriosaur. “Now then Deteriosaur… show this stranger what you can do!”
The Deteriosaur reared its head back, the green liquid began flowing from the tanks to its mouth and with a roar a great burst of the liquid shot out of its mouth and hit the bronze, melting it completely in only a few seconds. This isn’t going to be good…
“You two play nice!” The man quickly made an escape out the main gate and within seconds every possible exit from the room locked securely by a thick shutter.
With a deafening roar the Deteriosaur began charging at Pink. Well now… sealed in a room with a giant, mutated dragon-like thing that can melt most materials with a breath. Lovely… Pink hissed and growled at the Deteriosaur and prepared herself for battle.

Chapter End

Chapter 4 Teaser:

Pink versus the Deteriosaur! Who will win? Who will get to take home all the food? Who will be the loser who goes hungry? Find out in Chapter 5! Where it’s an all out war for who wants all of them apples!
