*Goren sees this over a surveillance camera in his office and grits his teeth as he walks over to a hidden control panel.*

Goren: Well they definitely won't survive my next trap!

????: But that would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Goren: Who...?

*Goren whirls around and sees a dark cloaked-figure seated in the spinning chair behind his desk.*

Goren: Oh, you.

Dark Cloak: As I was saying, killing them outright would be too quick and painless- and easy. I have something much more challenging in mind, Goren.

Goren: I'm intrigued. Go on.

Dark Cloak: They work best as a team and have an unbreakable bond between them. Break that bond. Then they will carry out the job for you.

Goren: This will be difficult... but not impossible. I'll do it!

Dark Cloak: This is a most resourceful group, I warn you. I don't want any mess-ups.

Goren: You can expect the best from me, sir. By the end of the tournament, they'll all betray and kill each other. I'll make sure of it.

*The spinning chair spins around, and the Dark Cloak disappears.*

~The figure from before and its familiar walk to a spot close to Goren from behind.~

Dragon familiar: Smart move, Sherlock.

~Goren rolls his eyes and turns around to face the figure and its familiar.~

Goren: You aren't allowed in here.

Figure: .......

Dragon familiar: Erm... what Mr. Mute means to say is...
Why would anyone take advice like "killing them outright would be too quick and painless--and easy" when dealing with these guys?

Goren: It's true.

Dragon familiar: So?! These guys beat Akujin. You take whatever chance you get.

Figure: ......

Dragon familiar: Yeah. It's probably the last chance we'll get, knowing these guys.

~Outside of the mansion, Yami chases Lord Kantii around the grounds. The courtyard is very spacious, with the front yard being the size of a football field. Hedges create a path along which Kantii runs. The others follow at a slower, more pleasant pace.~

Yami Yoshi: Get back here and take back what you said, you mangy--

~At that moment, Yami Yoshi feels a fierce cut in his bulbous nose, and stands still. Soon, blood drips from it slowly.~

Yami Yoshi: What was that?!

~Yami Yoshi looks to his left, finds nothing, then to his right, and sees a paper airplane headed straight at him. He stands still, perplexed. SwordMaster's OG Blade flies through the air and slams the paper plane to the ground as the others run up to Yami Yoshi.~

Chizu: Are you okay?

SwordMaster: ~gesturing to cut on Yami's nose~ Is that what the other paper airplane did to you?

Yami: What?

SwordMaster: You know, the paper airplane that stopped you dead in your tracks?

Yami: That was a paper airplane?! I guess. It must've been a pretty frikken' sharp one, though...

~SwordMaster walks over to his OG Blade and picks it up along with the paper airplane it took down.~

SwordMaster: Yeah... this thing is pretty sharp...

~Another paper plane whizzes by, hitting nothing this time.~

Middle man's voice: That was your last warning!

~The three black clad men hop out of bushes on another path far off to the right of the path that the OGers are on. Lord Kantii, who is near them, sneaks up behind the one on the right and grabs him, mouth first. The man jerks his shoulder up into Lord Kantii's head, then kicks backwards at Kantii's legs, making him let go. By the time the OGers get there, Kantii falls backwards, and the man prepares a paper plane to throw at Kantii.~

Middle man: He's a dead shot. Unless you don't want your friend to have his jugular vein in tact, you oughta back up.

SwordMaster: ~whispering to GORE as everyone backs up~ What do we do?

GORE: ~whispering to SwordMaster~ Just stall for time until we can come up with something.

Middle man: Good... now to the right...

~As soon the OGers do so, the ground under those on the right bends under those on the right. After everyone is on bending ground, the ground caves in to reveal a twelve foot deep pit.~

Left man: I'll go get the nets, and you're coming with us. We've still got those paper planes, too, so don't try anything.

Author: Yami Yoshi

Yami Yoshi: Hmph! I’m not letting these shatmuckers get the best of us!

~Yami Yoshi flutter-kicks out of the pit and is greeted by a barrage of paper airplanes thrown by the Middle Man.~

Yami Yoshi: Egg Shield!

~A translucent Yoshi Egg surrounds Yami Yoshi and deflects the incoming paper airplanes. Yami Yoshi sticks out his tongue and wraps it around the leg of the Middle Man.~

Middle Man: Heh heh heh heh…

~The Middle Man pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket, straightens it, and rubs the edge against Yami Yoshi’s tongue.~

Yami Yoshi: Aaahhh!

~Yami Yoshi flings his tongue over his shoulder and pile-drives the Middle Man headfirst into the pavement.~

Yami Yoshi: ~withdraws tongue~ Ow...I won’t be tasting anything for the next few days…hey! What happened to the other two guys?

~Suddenly, an iron net surrounds Yami Yoshi and pins him against the ground.~

Left Man: Gotcha, lizard!

Author: Golem

~As he holds down Yami, the right man looks back at Lord Kantii, who has a severe cut in his throat and is making strained gasps for air. He is pinned down by an iron net similar to the one Yami is in. Both men holding Yami's net down get up, but Yami can't get his net up off of the ground, even though nothing seems to be holding the net down.

GORE-ILLA first helps SwordMaster jump out of the pit, and he engages the three in combat while avoiding planes and nets. Next Chizu jumps out with GORE's help and walks over to Kantii. She kneels down and works her magic on his throat. However...~

Chizu: The wound is too serious, you're going to need medical help.

~Kantii responds with more gasps and Chizu gets out cotton gauze to hold against the wound.

Back in the pit, Culex helps GORE and AaronGuy out of the pit. GORE charges past SwordMaster and tries to use his metallic arm to deflect a paper plane coming his way. However, its edge cuts pretty well into GORE's forearm. While this takes place, AaronGuy sneaks up behind the trio and grabs a bag the size of two fists from behind the left man. The right man notices this and flings a plane at AaronGuy, who dodges to his right while tossing the bag over the three men. Culex, just climbing out of the pit, catches the bag. He opens it and finds many shiny silver balls inside. The one on the top falls out, spreading out into a full size iron net after it hits the ground.

The right man readies a barage of paper airplanes to toss at Culex while SwordMaster runs towards Lord Kantii and Chizu.~

Chizu: He's in really bad shape, he needs to get to a hospital soon.

~SwordMaster picks up Lord Kantii and presses the gauze, letting Chizu let up her grip on it.~

SwordMaster: Don't worry. There's a town not too far from here.

Author: GORE-ILLA

*The right man tosses a squadron of paper planes at Culex, who responds by tossing one sphere so it spreads into a net in midair and takes the hit from the planes as it flies through the air. The right man swears and reaches around for more planes, but then the iron net flies into him and pins him to the ground.*

AaronGuy: Now let's see who you are...

*AaronGuy squeezes his hand through the net and pulls the hood off revealing... another hood. Aaron tries to pull that hood off, but he winds up getting bitten and retracts his hand.

SwordMaster rushes across the lawn with Kantii hanging from his shoulders as Chizu runs alongside them. But they are pursued by the left man, who continues flinging paper planes at them.*

SwordMaster: I can't take many delays!

Chizu: Leave this to me!

*Chizu turns around and leaps over the planes, drop-kicking the right man to the floor. Rightie quickly recovers, but this has given SwordMaster time to safely escape.*

Yami Yoshi: Hello?

*Yami Yoshi is still trapped beneath his net as the middle man approaches with a paper plane in hand, the tip of which extends to a deadly length. Yami shrinks back in fear, but the middle man is uppercutted by GORE. They grapple until GORE swipes the paper, and the middle man flees.*

Middle Man: This was your last last warning!

Chizu: Well they got away again...

AaronGuy: Not all of them! (motions to the left man in the net)

Author: Golem

~Three men in yellow ponchos hop up out of bushes from behind the man in the iron net. Their faces are hidden by the length of the hood on the ponchos. The ones on the right and in the middle grab the net and haul it in front of them, while the left one takes the lead and takes out a palm-sized gray device. He clicks a button on the device and a translucent shield like Yami Yoshi's egg shield appears around the poncho clad men. Yami Yoshi throws a Dark Egg at it, but the shield is unaffected.

The leading man clicks another button on the device and they disappear.~

Yami Yoshi: Where'd they go? ~looking frantically about~

SwordMaster: They're fleeing, let's just get this guy ~motions head to Lord Kantii~ to the city.

Author: Yami Yoshi

~An auroral glow casts over the mansion courtyard, signaling the arrival of dawn.~

Yami Yoshi: Shoot…the tournament’s starting soon! We gotta get back inside the mansion!

GORE: ~sarcastically~ Hellooooo…remember the elevator incident? I really don’t think Goren intended us to participate in this tournament!

Goren: Did I just hear my name?

~ Dressed in a red velvet robe and wearing a pair of yellow, banana-shaped slippers, Goren casually walks up behind the OGers as he smokes a pipe.~

Goren: Good morning, OGers. You know, I just love taking early morning strolls through my courtyard…

Yami Yoshi: Cut the crap! You better give us a really good reason why we shouldn’t kill you right now!

Goren: Oh? You must be referring to the elevator incident earlier…the mechanic must’ve forgotten to repair the broken cable…don’t worry, he’s been fired…~hastily changing the subject~… Aaanyways, I will need you all to report to the stadium at 8 ‘o clock sharp. You will each be assigned your opponent and then first round of the tournament will begin! I look forward to seeing you all there! Until then, I bid you OGers farewell!

~Goren’s eyes dart suspiciously side to side before Goren hops into a hedge wall and disappears.~

Author: Tyler

Chizu: What about Kantii?

Yami Yoshi: Yeah. What are we supposed to do?

SwordMaster: It's only 6:00. We'll take Kantii to the hospital and come back. We should be able to make it. Unfortunately, Kantii will have to forfeit.

Yami Yoshi: Yes! The cheesecake is mine! Oh, I mean, too bad. Let's just hurry to the hospital.

SwordMaster: Let's split up. We aren't all needed to carry Kantii. Chizu and I will take him to the hospital. The rest of you get ready for the tournament.

~SwordMaster jumps into an Italian sportscar that seems to have appeared from nowhere. Chizu gets in the back seat and lays Kanti down next to her with his head lying in her lap. They drive off into the sunrise to the nearest town, Talon.~

Author: Golem

~In the car, with the hood down...~

Chizu: Why are you helping Kantii? You're Defender of the Cheesecake.

SwordMaster: It's a man's life at stake, at least according to you.

Chizu: I realize that, but you could have just sent AaronGuy or something.

SwordMaster: Yeah, but I know the town best, so I should be the one to go. Logic is a little something I picked up from Legion.

Chizu: Look out!

~SwordMaster looks forward and is amazed to see that the car is on grass and rushing towards a large body of water.~

SwordMaster: But I only took my eyes off the road for a second, how could it--

~SwordMaster yanks the steering wheel, trying to make a sharp right turn, but as the steering wheel turns the car makes no change in direction.~

SwordMaster: Jump!

~Chizu quickly opens her door and leaps out as soon as the car touches water and begins to sink. SwordMaster and Kantii float, and SwordMaster grabs Kantii.~

SwordMaster: Yeesh... must've been one of Goren's traps... not very effective with a collapsable hood, though. That'll teach me not to drive random cars again. ~walks on land with Kantii in arms~

Chizu: I feel like making a comment about not picking up too much logic, but I'll restrain myself.

SwordMaster: I need you to take Kantii to the hospital. Luckily, we crashed pretty close to it. ~points up ahead to the edge of the lake to a plain white building~ That's the back of the hospital.

Chizu: Me? Why?

SwordMaster: I'm a wanted man in Talon. As in wanted for a crime. I can't get too close.

Goren’s Mansion, the Courtyard…

~Covered in leaves and twigs, Goren emerges from the hedge wall opposite the side of the OGers.~

Goren: ~brushing himself off~ Blast…I’ll have to eliminate the OGers from the tournament as soon as possible before those nosy brats ruin my plans…

Voice: Sir Goren!

~The janitor walks onto the courtyard, carrying an unusual vacuum cleaner-like apparatus on his back.~

Goren: What is it?

Janitor: I have extracted the souls from the dead combatants and have disposed of their corpses…

Goren: Excellent...just deposit the souls into the Soul/Energy Conversion machine…

Janitor: Yes, sir.

~The janitor walks back into the mansion.~

Goren: Ha ha ha! By the end of this tournament, I will have gathered enough quintessential energy to make me the most powerful being in the world!

~Suddenly, a rustling sound in the hedge wall causes Goren to spin around. Goren reaches into his robe pocket, pulls out a banana-shaped boomerang, and hurls it into the hedge wall. A shrill squeak is heard and a stunned squirrel rolls out from hedge wall with an exaggerated anime-style bump on its head.~

Goren: Whew…only a squirrel...

~Goren’s eyes pan the courtyard for any suspicious signs of eavesdroppers.~

Goren: Hmm…I better stop soliloquizing to myself before someone eavesdrops on my evil ingenious plan…not that it matters, for once I have achieved the ultimate power, no one will be able to stop me! NO ONE!!!

The other side of the hedge wall…

Yami Yoshi: OMG did you hear that?!

GORE: What?

Yami Yoshi: …that’s the sound of a breakfast steak sizzling over a hot stove! To the kitchen!

~Yami Yoshi races back into the mansion, while GORE follows with a slow jog.~

Author: Tyler

Back in Talon...

Chizu: Hold on, Kantii, we're almost there.

~Kantii gasps, trying to reply.~

Chizu: Don't speak.

~Chizu runs into the hospital~

Chizu: Help! This is an emergency!

~a doctor walks in~

Doctor: Hm. This seems very serious. 3rd degree papercut. Was this done by a paper airplane?

Chizu: Yes. We were ambushed. Can you save him?

Doctor: Don't you worry about a thing. Just sit in here and read an outdated magazine. I like the article about the Albanian woman with the glandular problem that makes her give off extremely offensive B.O.

~So Chizu sits down and begins reading.~

Author: GORE-ILLA

*The OGers all gather outside the tournament room after dodging a few poison darts, knocking out some ninjas and avoidng trap doors.*

Goren: Thetournament shall commence in five minutes! Anyone who sin't here shall be disqualified!

GORE: Where's Chizu already?

Yami Yoshi: At least SwordMaster's there to help her...

SwordMaster: Hey guys!

Yami Yoshi: SwordMaster! Where's Chizu?

SwordMaster: Had to leave her... Don Talon has a price on my head.

GORE: So you abandoned Chizu and the wounded bird-man?

SwordMaster: Well... shut up!

*Chizu rushes in.*

Yami Yoshi: Chizu! You're alright!

Chizu: Kantii will be okay... but it looks like he'll miss the tournament...

*Lord Kantii walks in.*

AaronGuy: What the...?

Yami Yoshi: Hey Kantii! What's up?

*Kantii walks drone-like down the hallway with no signs of any damage. He walks right past the OGers and waits at the door to the tournament room.*

SwordMaster: Now things are getting strange.

*The doors swing open, and the OGers enter a room the size of the football field, filled with sixteen large mats.*

Goren: Each of you will be assigned an opponent to battle on one of these mats. After this, sixteen people will be left to fight in the arena tomorrow. The rules are simple: get thrown out of bounds, knocked out, counted out or killed out to be disqualfied. You may use any weapons you find necessary. Begin.

*Everyone huddles over to see the tournament chart and then rush to their assigned mats. Who will the OGers be pitted against? What other dangerous foes are funking up this tournament? Just what's up with Lord Kantii? Find out sometime in Member OG 7!*

Author: Aaronguy

~The first match commences~

Blonde Guy in Red Jacket: All right birdy, let's get this over with!

Kantii: ~just stares blankly at him~

Yami: Sheesh, what's up with that guy? Usually he'd be cackling or tossing insults or something.

Chizu: I know. I left him at the hospital, I don't know what they did to him.. perhaps he lost his voice?

Goren: Begin!

Blonde Guy: Let's go! HRAAAH! ~Suddenly hovers in the air, then flies at Kantii at a high speed~

Kantii: ~Ducks, then scrapes one of his two blades along the back of the Guy~

Blonde Guy: AGH! ~drops to the ground~ ~gets up~ Why you.. ~flies at him again~

~The fight continues. Kantii remains silent, and moves somewhat jerkily, like an action figure with arthritis. Finally, though, with a sucker punch to the sternum, Blondie goes down~

Blonde Guy: Gack.. No... I can't be defeated... I'm an obscure cameo.... I'm... S... Sp... ~collapses~

Goren: The winner is Kantii! He will continue to the next round, and... what the...?!

~The glass roof of the stadium shatters, as a blur of black feathers dive bomb down~

Lord Kantii: KRAAAW!! REVENGE!!

~Lands on the mat beside the other Kantii. The ground shakes as he lands~

Goren: What in the...?

Dragon Familiar: ~Floats beside him~ Er... hey.

Goren: YOU! I thought the plan was to kill him and take his soul!

Dragon: Well, one of the OGers managed to get him to a hospital before the Golem was made...

Lord Kantii: You miserable creature! Have at you! ~Rakes the hook on his foot against the other Kantii~

Other Kantii: ~stumbles back, but doesn't bleed~

Dragon: The golem is animated, but without the soul, it's not going to last long against the real McCoy. So, what's the plan?

Goren: ...We let him win.

Dragon: Buh...?

Goren: Just what I said. If we play dumb, maybe they'll think that little incident had nothing to do with us.

Lord Kantii: TAKE THAT! ~cuts off an arm~

Other Kantii: ~appears to be made out of some kind of clay~

Dragon: Fine, I guess you're right. There will be other chances to work wedges between the OGers.

Lord Kantii: AND THAT! ~smashes a leg~

Goren: Yes, indeed. And perhaps we should go for a... closer... member of the group this time...

Dragon: Such as?

Goren: ~whispers in the Dragon's ear~

Lord Kantii: AND THIS! ~flaps his arms like wings~

Other Kantii: ~falls back, shattering on the ground~

Dragon: Ohh... hehe... that works. Well, good luck! ~flies off~

Goren: ~nods, stepping forward~ Very well. As I was saying, Kantii is the winner, and shall be moving on...

Lord Kantii: ~just glares at Goren~
