'Terror and Ecstasy.....mixed into my blood.
.....Could it be something I ate?'

Tuesday, December 28 1999, 1:25 am
I first saw nothing, nothing but Darkness,
I'd sworn I had my eyes open. If I was in a
dark room there would be a least a small
concentration of light. But there's no walls,
no light, no nothing! It's just pure black
space. Where the heck was I? Before I
could even think up a threory an errie
feeling just climbed up on my spine. Why
do I get the feeling this is some horror
movie prepraring for the 'Big Shock'? As I
looked on I now know what I was
preparing for. Visions flashed like as if
someone was switching channels rapidly,
all I could get a glimse of were animals.......
....All types of Beasts.....like Boars, Lions,
Crocodile and Falcons, All screaming in
pain! like someone was torchering them!
then Blackness dawned again, Now I saw
the beasts standing in front of me. They
were all lined in a group and looked like as
if they all teamed up and stayed as a pack.
They're eyes...is what puzzled me...They
all were flaming in rage, they didn't know
what they were doing, they were just
blinded by rage. Then a flash hid my vision
and then restored it and my eyes could see
that the Angry animals were replaced
by.......Angry Rabbits? I peered closer to
get a reason for this...only to find this more
puzzling. They look.....like me, Not by
character or features but Like my species?
No, .......are they Angoras? I also noticed
them wearing some sort of neck peices.
They were Beautifuly designed but each of
them had the same animals I saw etched in
them. My current observation ended when
the Beast's personality increased. Their
eyes glew more, They all snarled baring
their Teeth, Taking one step closer, Their
bodies full of hatred. They wanted to kill
me, nothing else was on their mind, they
just wanted me dead. What is this? Why
are they angry at me?
Voice : Because your Sinned, NightFire!
NightFire : HUH!?!
(NightFire quickly turns around, Suddenly a
stange oddly shaped Beast lunged at
NightFire and all became black.)
NightFire : AAAGGGHHH!!
(NightFire finds himself on his bed, he looks
around and only see his messy room
{NightFire isn't much of a cleaner})
A Dream? it was all a Dream? Was it?...oh
no! It's the same nightmare I had the other
night.
NightFire : >Groan!< Not again! What is
this? Some sort of Warning?
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Meanwhile back at the Castle, Quo-Avek
was trying to construct a new LightSaber.
However Elias FF walked into his room,
Quo-Avek was putting a few finishing
touches to the nozzle of the weapon. He
had it facing his face and was probing it
with a tool.)
Elias : Hey, Quo!
(Out of Startlement Quo-Avek accidently
turned the Saber on, the Beam would've
hit his face but Quo-Avek quickly pushed
the handle upwards and the Lazer Blade
just managed to singe his hair.)
Quo-Avek : elias.....
Elias : Yes?
Quo-Avek: DONTEVERINTERUPPTME WHENI'MWORKINGONANEWLIGHTSABEROK??!!!??!!!
Elias : Whoa, excuse me your
'HINNEY-NESS'! maybe if you
found a less dangerous hobby you
wouldn't get a Bald patch in the
first place!
Quo-Avek : Wanna say that to my Saber!?
Lori : AHEM!
(The two quarreling rabbits found Lori and
Spaz at the room entrance, The siblings
were dressed in their usual outfits only
difference was that they wearing
Backpacks and carrying some equipment
wrapped in covering. Both of the Game
Heros have their arms crossed and their
Right Foot tapping the ground.)
Lori : What are you two doing out of Bed?
It's almost Two o'clock in the
morning!
Quo-Avek : I was working on a new
Lightsaber till Jolly Boy showed
up and.....
Elias : Nevermind us, what are you two
doing all packed?
Lori(smiles evily) : To Get away from you
for one thing!
(To reply to Lori's Remark Elias gives a hurt
look.)
Spaz : She's Kidding! Since my Bro. and
Eva went off to their eerrrrm...........
(count's his fingers and mumbles
some math)..............second
honeymoon! It's been pretty quiet
in the castle. Face it, it's no Fun
without Jazz!
Lori : So Spaz and I decided to go on a
small camping trip to pass the time.
You Boys wanna tag along?
Quo-Avek : Hmmmm....well I got nothing
planed for a couple of weeks, I
think I have some time to
spare. Sure, Why not? I'd like
to go!
Elias : So do I! When do we get started?
Lori : Hold it, Mister! Your not making an
exscuse just to keep an eye on me,
ARE YA?
Elias :.........nope
Lori : Good, then we're off!
Elias : Where to?
Lori : Carrotus Valley! You guys have
GOTTA See the Sun rise from there.
It's an INCREDIBLE SIGHT!
Quo-Avek : Coolness! I always wanted to
go There. Let's move it, Gang!
Last one there is a Rotten
Dead Fish!!
(With that Quo-Avek darted forward to the
front gates with Elias and Lori following,
however Spaz was left behind thinking of
Quo-Avek's last words.)
Spaz : FOOD!? Where? Where?
(But Before Spaz could start to search, Lori
came back for him, She grabbed his ears
and Dragged him along.)
------------------------------------------------
Rats! I can't get any decent sleep forever
or what? What the heck is that dream
about anyway? Why is it Haunting me like
this? Darn it! It's been a couple of weeks
and that nightmare still taunts me. Why? Is
it because of Tension? Well any line of
work leads to tension, even the work of a
Guardian's. But why does my dream
doesn't leave me alone? Maybe I did
something Bad, That guy in my Dream DID
say I was sinned or something.
GGGGGGNNNNNNNN!!!! I'M TALKING
NONSENSE! I'M ACUALLY BELIVING IN
THIS CR*P!! WHY AM I BEING SO
AGITATED BECAUSE OF A DREAM!!!
I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO! I HAVE
TO DO THIS! I HAVE TO DO THAT! I
HAVE TO GET A LIFE!!!!!
I need some fresh air, right now!
(With that NightFire sat at his PC,
Connected to his internet server and
acessed his e-mail account.)
NightFire : Phew! That's much better!
(NightFire checked for any new mail or
messages but he only got 1 new mail
which happens to be a forward message
from Jazz to the Kingdom's Knights,
Warriors & Mercinaries saying that He and
Eva are off to Diamondus and he want's
them to look after Carrotus for him and to
also say Hi to Devan and his goons for him
in case they invade again.)
NightFire : Only 1 new mail and it happens
to be a FWD! Am I unpopular or
what! Well, Jazz and Eva
seems to be doing ok. That's
good for me to hear but I still
don't feel good enough. Maybe
a walk will help, Ya that's it! a
walk! That'll get my mind of my
troubles.
--------------------------------------------------------
(Meanwhile Spaz, Lori, Elias and
Quo-Avek have arrived in Carrotus Valley,
They were amazed at the beautiful scenary
the area had to offer, it even looks good at
dark. They took out their camping beds
and settled down. A small campfire was lit
to warm themselves from the cold Dark.)
Lori : Cool! The Sun hasn't risen yet, we
have some time till we catch it!
Spaz : Isn't the Sun too hot to catch, Lori?
Lori : Spaz, your sweet but a little oblivous
Elias : Hey guys! What's that!
(Elias pointed to a huge Beautiful
Mountain. It was dressed with assorted
vegetation, streams and pure atmosphere.)
Quo-Avek : That's the famous moutain of
this valley! there's a Temple up
there y'know?
Spaz : Yup! sometimes Jazz, Lori and I go
up there to Spar, Fun place for
Target practise.
Elias : Any particular person living up
there?
Quo-Avek : Just NightFire, He treats the
place like a Teenager's
Bedroom!
Elias : NightFire? I Haven't heard from him
since the last time we met.
Spaz : Come to think of it, He hasn't kept
in touch for a very long time.
Lori : Hmm....I wonder what's he up to
now?
--------------------------------------------
GGGRRRRRR!! I've been walking for a lot
of minutes now and I still don't feel better.
I don't know why but I get the feeling that
I'm being watched......by more than two
sets for eyes! Maybe it's my nerves! But
I've been having this feeling ever since I
started walking! Wait, I think I'm doubting
my feelings. Maybe I AM in trouble.............
....right now. I looked at my hand weapons
only to see my sword and sheild glowing,
which means..........DANGER!
(NightFire arms himself with his sword and
sheild and turns to his apporching enemy.
But he doesn't see anything, he looks at
random directions but finds nothing. He
finaly looks down and sees a pack of Dogs
sitting quietly and panting and observing
NightFire's actions. NightFire put's his
weapons away relieved that it's all a false
alarm)
NightFire(smiling): Hey you guys, run along
now. I got no time to
play with you.
(The Dogs remained still and quiet, they
gave nothing more than a blank expersion,
like they were almost asleep, something
like a zombie's attitude.)
Wait, this doesn't seem right. My senses
still warn me about Danger, and only these
dogs are here. There's something wrong
about these Dogs, All the animals in this
area are supposed to be asleep right now,
they don't wake up or let anything wake
them up at this time. And the Dogs I meet
in this area are usualy hyperactive when I
see them. Also I've never seen these dogs
before, they seem to be dark minded, This
is NOT the way the Dogs act. As I bent
down a little to catch a glimpse of their
eye's, At first I saw Lifeless sub-zero
temprature in their pupils but then suddenly
it glew to Burning Red in Rage.......The
same eyes I saw in my dream! If they don't
act like Dogs or behave like Dog then it
only means.........
NightFire : They're not Dogs!
(To NightFire's surprise the Dogs all
growled at his remark and then lunged at
him like as if he was their prey. NightFire
took off on his heels avoiding the pack, He
made haste and ran like crazy as the
Persuit Began!)
NightFire : THEY'RE NOT DOGS!!!!
(NightFire ran fast though careful in his
tracks. For the persuit came to an end
when NightFire approached the edge of a
cliff, He turned back only to see the pack
of Dogs cornering him to the invisible dead
end. NightFire took a step back with only
results in the Dogs stepping forward.)
NightFire : WHADAYA WANT FROM
ME?! WHY DO YOU WANT
TO KILL ME?!?
Voice : Because your Sinned, NightFire!
NightFire : WHAT THE..!?
(Before NightFire could react, one of the
Dogs lunged at him just like how the other
beast lunged at him in his dream. NightFire
took a couple steps back only find out that
he just steped on the last small peice of
earth on the Cliff, with his foot on the edge
NightFire lost his balance and fell over. As
NightFire Yelled as he was falling the Dog
just looked over the Cliff.)
NightFire : Hooboy! Only one chance!
(With that NightFire pulls out his shield and
points it to his upcomming landing area.
Nightfire Channels his energy through the
sheild, the Force Feild grew strong, If
NightFire's right the Feild should be strong
enough to bounce him of the base on the
mountain. His theroey goes successful but
the sheild was strong enough to break
some rocks of the base and started a tiny
landslide. NightFire was Repelled off the
base of the mountain. Now he was falling
on the Forest grown at the base of the
mountain. The Trees slowed his fall and
then then finaly his body met the ground.)
NightFire : Ouch! what hit me?
(To respond Nightfire's question, a small
rock from the tiny landslide fell smack on
NightFire's Forehead.)
NightFire : Thanks for answering my
question!
Ow! I feel tired, Weak. Who Were those
dogs? The Dogs! I looked to see the Dogs
and they're gone! vanished! No wait, I see
something. I see a faint outline from where
I fell. They're not Dogs, I can't make it out
very well but I Think they're...............
...Rabbits?First....Beasts...Then....Rabbits,
............Just...like.....my........dream........
(With that NightFire passes out.)

--------------------------------------------------------------
9:12 am
Darn it! Why do I always have to be in this kind
of fix!?
(NightFire keeps running, pushing a his strenghth to
his legs. Avoiding the oddly shaped beast as he can,
The Beast kept bounding after him, this huge teeth
exposed.)
Rats! He's still after me! What IS HE!? His body is
still covered by shadow, I can't determin what he
is. He's huge. Purely masculine in power, I still
can't make out his shape. Maybe he doesn't WANT me
to make out his shape.
Voice : Why run away from me, Gaurdian? Why don't
you turn around and FIGHT ME!
Hey, That's Right! He Bullied me long enough! I'm
gonna show him what REAL Gaurdians are made of!
(NightFire stops and turns back at the unknown beast.)
NightFire : Alright Mr.Harassment! Your gonna get a
Hole punched through your body!
Voice : We'll see...
(All NightFire could see was the shadowy shapeless
beast, NightFire noticed a small neckpeice bonding
the Creature's neck, The beautiful design was the
same as what the other animal's wore.)
Seems like the Neckpeice he's wearing is the same
for the other animals, Which means they're with
him! They had animals engraved in theirs, For his..
.....I..I can't make out! But why? Can't worry
about that now, I gotta a scum ta polverise!
NightFire : Just ta show I'm a good sport, I'll
call your insurance company after
I'm done with ya!
(NightFire reaches for his sword and shield, but
to his dismay He relises that they're missing!
He checks for his twin LFG-1.1's, They're
missing too!)
NightFire : What the...? My weapons! My LFG's!
What happened to them!
Voice : Just what I thought! Your NOTHING without
your Weapons! You need to Fight with good
ol' fashion BARE-TOOTH!!
(With that the Beast lunged forward and took
Nightfire in his Huge Jaws, Excerting tons
of pressure, The Huge jagged Teeth crushed
through NightFire's Chest Armor and inserted
a Huge wound in his Back. NightFire screemed
in pain, everthing happened in an instant.
The creature hurled NightFire forward. Nightfire
felt helpless on the ground, his blood dripping
from his Back and other sides of his body,
chained to the ground with pain NightFire could
only see his own blood flowing from the Creature's
teeth, he was growing weak he could bearly listen
to the Creature's words.)
Voice : Lie.......Can.....Morf....Your..weak!
Pathetic! Get up, Fool! Get up! Get up!
------------------------------------------------
Elias : Get up! Get up! NightFire, Get up!
(NightFire woke with a start, he could see Elias's
Face in front of him.)
NightFire : Elias?
Lori : Lay still while we fix your forehead.
NightFire : Lori?
(NightFire looks back to see Spaz and Quo-Avek
applying some medicine on his forehead.)
NightFire : Spaz? Quo-Avek?
(NightFire looks back forward, since Elias is leaning
forward bandaging NightFire's head, Elias's Medalion
hung in front of NightFire's eyes. The Blood in
NightFire started to drain as the Medalion's design
flashed before his eye's. It's the SAME DESIGN FROM
HIS DREAM!)
NightFire : AAAAAHHHH!!
(All four of the Camping Rabbits fell back startled by
NightFire's scream. Without warning NightFire Grabbed
the Medalion for a closer look and then held it up to
the sun with Elias still wearing it at the other end.)
Elias : NightFire! What are you Doing?!?......
There's no doubt about it! It's the Exact same neckpeice,
except the Jaguar encripted on it is more pleasant. While
the other animals encriptions were angry and screaming in
pain. But Why Elias? What does HE know about this?
NightFire : Alright Elias! Sit down and Let's talk!
(With that NightFire Let's go of the Medalion, giving
Elias some air to breathe.)
Elias : NightFire : I Have no time for Sarcasm Elias! Where'd Elias : Wha? I already told you that my Father gave it NightFire : I Know you told me that! Where'd your Father Elias : I don't know! he never told me! NightFire : Put a Sock in it Elias! What kind of Sick Elias : Nothing! I swear! NightFire : LIAR! Gimme that Medalion! Elias : Noway! It's been with my family for generations! NightFire : I don't give a DARN! about no Traditional Elias : No! NightFire : Darn You! (NightFire was about to pounce on Elias but was held NightFire : Lemme at 'im! I'll tear him apart! I'll (Lori steps in front of NightFire, Defending Elias.) Lori : NightFire! Get a hold of yourself! NightFire : You Gotta Take That Medalion away from Elias(looking at the Medalion) : Evil? NightFire : Lori, Shoot him now! Or He'll Kill us ALL!! Lori : NightFire! Snap out of it!! (With that Lori Slapped NightFire in the face to bring NightFire(Hanging head in shame) : I'm So Sorry! I'm such (Seeing NightFire calmed down, Spaz and Quo-Avek let him NightFire : I don't know what came over me....I just.. Lori(Kneeling beside him): It's ok, It's all over now. NightFire : (Before NightFire could complete, Elias walked up to him Elias : You don't need to explain, I would've done the I don't Beleive this! What made my fly into a rage like Quo-Avek : Look, you really need to rest. You were in real NightFire : Oh? How did you find me? Spaz : Well, we were going on a camping trip, We stoped at Lori : Then we heard a Scream coming from the moutain, We NightFire : Of course, The cliff. The Dogs! Lori, did you Lori : Err..No, We didn't see anything. NightFire : No one or Nothing? NightFire : Elias : Well someone's gotta keep an eye on my girl and.. Lori (Looks back with a crossed face) : What? Elias : uh oh... Lori(Walks upto Elias) : S'cuse me, 'YOUR GIRL'? (Elias just, panicks. He hoped it wouldn't come to this Lori : I was right, wasn't I? You Just came along in ELias : Well,..I..errrr... Lori : DARN YOU! ELIAS! (Lori was about to pounce on Elias but was held And I thought I was Crazy? Lori : Lemme at 'im! I'll tear him apart! I'll Elias : Aw Man! What am I? Carrotus's Most Wanted? (Suddenly Spaz stepped Before Lori and Slapped Her! Spaz : What? You did it too. Lori : You can let me go now, guys. I'm ok. (NightFire and Quo-Avek let Lori go, She walked up to Lori : I can't believe you did this! Elias : Look, I...... Lori : Don't Give me any exscuses! If you came along NightFire : Exscuse me Beg Pardon, But What happened to Lori : Fine, Untill THIS moron Blew it all! Elias : But...... NightFire : Explanation?... Lori : He's always posessive over me, NightFire! He Elias : I just don't want her to be Kidnapped by some Lori : That only works for Eva, Elias! NightFire : Elias, I have to agree with Lori here. It Elias : I guess... Lori : Gee, Thanks NightFire. NightFire : Your welcome, now if you'd excuse me.... (NightFire turns away and walks off in a depressed manner, Quo-Avek : Hey, NightFire where are you off to? NightFire : Back to the hole I crawled from. Quo-Avek : Hey, you don't leave us like this when NightFire : It's not that. It's just that I can help Quo-Avek : Why don't WE help you? NightFire : You wouldn't understand my problem. Quo-Avek : I understand it has something to do with (NightFire stops in his Tracks and turns back at NightFire : How'd you know? Quo-Avek : A good Jedi knows everything! Spaz : When we found you, You were twitching in your (NightFire gives Quo-Avek a dirty look.) Quo-Avek(smiling sheepishly) : That's how a Good Jedi NightFire : (NightFire tells them about his dreams he has been having NightFire : So ever since then I've been jumpy about this. Elias : Well, I frankly think it's all due to tension from NightFire : But That's.... Quo-Avek : Ya, I think the 'Dogs' you saw this morning was NightFire : But... Spaz : Besides, I once had a nightmare that lasted about a NightFire : Really? about what? Spaz : Well, there was this nerdy evil Turtle named Devan, Lori : Spaz, that really happened. Spaz : Oh No! It's worse than I thought!! NightFire : Lori : No, it's not that. It's just that We think the NightFire : ............ Lori : There, now all we gotta do is get this of your NightFire : Kicking Butt.
