D A Y One: Early Morning, 53% Humid with clear skies. 68 degree Fahrenheit and climbing steadily.

Koen

Koen pressed up against a tall broad tree, his reddish brown eyes glared at the Hunter Nil. His eyes following the hunter’s jittery movements as Koen curses at himself quietly. How could he be so stupid to be caught so easily by this hunter. He should of moved instead of stay around for an extra night in the same area, thinking that he had time to relax and rest, but oh, how he was wrong about that.

He didn't dare make a sudden move for the hunter’s jerky movements could lead to unwanted consequences. The hunter already fire multiple shots before Koen surrender. Each shot closer than the next, until surrender was the only logic answer from being injured or worse, dead. His hands bounded by what could only be a rope, so his movement was limited anyways. Not to mention the Sun was up which meant he had been up the whole night. Exhaustion overtook any other emotions of anger and anguish, making him obediently keep still.

The hunter’s choice weapon, a shotgun, pointing straight at Koen’s chest just daring him to move.
Nil, the hunter, was radioing in his most recent capture. Cockiness and excessive pride was clear in the man’s voice as he exaggerates a tale of Bat Boy’s capture

Toyosi

Darkness. Even with her eyes wide open that was the only thing she could see. The heavy sack over her head shielded any light that leaked into the back of the truck. It was mostly silent but for the ragged or rapid breathing of the other people. The heat was unbearable, her forehead was laced with sweat and her hands clammy with perspiration. The zip ties that kept her hands confined and together digged into her wrist. Her sweaty hands held uncomfortable on top of her lap. Either side of her was squished from other heated and sweaty people crammed close together which eased the rough ride but also cause a slight feeling of claustrophobia to wash over her.

When the truck did finally abruptly stop, causing the new morphs to lurch into the person next to them, the back hatch opens up. A harsh light shine between the threads of the sack. “Get up and Move it.” A voice boomed, who ever it was forcefully got the people moving either by grabbing them and shoving one way or a hit in the back to get the person moving. Anyone who tried to rebel was swiftly beaten with the butt of a rifle and shoved along.

Toyosi held her breath, moving along closely to the person in front of her. Her feet shuffling across the truck bed’s floor. Once out of the truck, she was kicked in the back of her knees causing her to fall to the ground. She could hear others going through the same thing as they are being lined up

(Still editing other characters Start post. But everyone one is welcome to post a start now)

Fortress lumbered through the Forest pushing trees and the likes out of her way with a simple nudge from her armored arms or head. She had been following the scent of gun powder and the sounds of shots being fired throughout the night after they had woken the large morph up but wasn't having any luck in her search. Today was one of those days that she could remember a few things of her past but they were quickly fading and being replace by her feral instincts which at this point were very curious of what was creating a ruckus in her area. Fortress grabbed a branch of leaves and began chewing on them as she quietly lumbered her way unknowingly towards Koen.

 After a few minutes the morph reached the area with Koen and the hunter but unlike the other morphs in the area she didn't run and hide, instead Fortress stepped out into the open, within full view of both of the entities in the area. She huffed and looked at the hunter slightly interested in him, the gun he was holding looked standard, nothing but a 12 Gauge which would hit pretty hard but her armor was tougher. After she sized up the hunter she looked at the potential prey, she didn't know what to think about him but he was definitely a morph and though she didn't have a real opinion on the actions of anyone anymore she knew that she probably shouldn't like this. Her tail slammed the ground in a type of warning as it gouged out parts of the ground with the sharp scales.

ZYXON

Zyxon was swimming down the river, full from the piranha's he had just eaten. It was at times like these he was able to just relax, unless trouble showed up, which for him was rare, Hunters often were not properly armed to hunt him since spotting him was rare most days. He would come up for the river only to watch passing creatures and set puddle traps. He knew he would need food again soon, so he slowly swam over to a capybara for a prelunch snack.

Grabbing it he electrocuted it and pulls its stunned body underwater to kill and save for later. After which he goes up to check for any thing going on nearby. He hears the thud of the fortress who's name he knew from a hunter he fought towards the end of his morph, though because he still had some humanity he didn't kill the man, just stunned him and took his weapons. His instincts were telling him it was best to avoid fortress, so he did and sunk back down into the river to find somewhere to rest.

ALEX

Alex told himself that he was was going to be fine, that this all just a really realistic dream and he'd wake up soon. But maybe that would be just as bad. He was about to be evicted from his apartment with no job and family that wanted him to just become a functioning part of society, which he hated. So actually he wanted this to be real. As he came to realize this the truck came to a halt and he bumped into the person next to him.

Then some man with a loud voice yelled "Get up and move it" not wanting to really to deal with the being dragged out or hit in the back like he could hear others dealing with, so he quickly walked out, And was then forced to his knees. "If you wanted me get on my knees you couldve just asked. No need to be rough" after that he got hit square in the jaw and fell over. Who ever that was had a nice right hook.

@Life

Bam Bam, Sauntered through the plants, spotting some truffles he stopped to eat. Then he heard the gun shots his head bolted up in surprise. Then he heard the slams on the ground. Thinking there was a fight he picked up one of the large truffles and ran to see if there was anything to scavenge.

Koen

One of Koen bat-like ear twitches slightly, his attention quickly shifting towards the spot Fortress appears from. He wasn't sure of what to think about the morph or how much a threat she was to his wellbeing as she came into view. His eyes snapped back to the Hunter Nill, his weapon lowering only slightly when the man’s gaze fell on Fortress after she had gouged the ground with her tail.

A look of uncertainty crossed over the Hunter's face as he paused for a moment to think. The look quickly shifted into a scowl. “Don't think about anything cheeky you bulky freak.” Nill growled, jerking his shotgun to point at Fortress.

Toyosi

The same man who yelled before yelled again. “If I hear anymore smart remarks or talking, I'll let me guys have some fun.” He snickers. His boots crunched on gravel as he walks around. “Alright, taken them off.” One by one the sacks over top the heads of the new Morphs were ripped off.

Toyosi immediately squeezed her eyes shut when the bag from her head was ripped away, allowing her eyes to slowly adjust to new light. She didn't dare move from her kneeling position for fear of what the men would do. Her eyes wander around slowly, seeing the other row of captive people as her eyes quickly counted. There wasn't very many of them, all together they equaled fifteen.

Her eyes wander some more, looking around the cul-de-sac like road. Jungle surrounded the outlet, and men and women geared up with weapons of sorts and camouflage. Almost guarding the area.

A woman stood out from the rest, her clothing wasn't camouflaged and she seemed bare of any weapons. But she lead against a tree with a sort of aggression air. A smirk dancing on her lips as her grey eyes looked over each captive with admiration.
@Raizin

Lei

"Ssssssss," she mimicked as she handled a baby anaconda. It squiggled and bit in her direction, fearing for its safety. In the trees she stayed, waiting for something to grab her attention. Lei could smell many near in the area. Far off she heard grunts and threats, maybe the new comers. As the anaconda seemed to tire out, she walked branch to branch, approaching silently to a guarded area. She stopped once the "noodle" had begun to get more restless. Probably safer at this distance

Fox kept his eyes tightly closed, not wanting to know what surrounded him. His first thought was of course, the worst, hunters ready to shoot his head off, large scary dogs on chains that barely held them back, and a large spiky fence that was the only thing that separated him and the outside. Delta's ears twitched when he opened one eye, his curiosity getting the better of him. His other eye popped open and he counted 14 more monsters. He didn't bother to count the hunters, he knew there would be too many to outrun.

Fox was slightly surprised by the lack of a threatening fence, and instead found the jungle area quite comforting. Ears still twitching, he glanced at the fallen morph next to him. The one that bumped into him on the ride. The "person" looked similar to Delta, which was uncomforting but gave him some solace. He wasn't the only one that got smashed with what was considered a rodent.

Delta didn't realize he was staring at the fallen rat man and was clearly not paying much attention to the smirking woman that kept looking at them like a predator looks at prey.

@Raizin

Fortress took a step towards the hunter completely calm even when the hunter aimed the shotgun directly at her, she slapped the ground as her instincts were telling her to become hostile. In the distance she heard a mass of sounds that were slowly building but the only thing that interested her was the hunter infront of her right now. Fortress knew that there wasn't a single round in that gun that would injure her but just to be cautious she slipped her tail up infront of her body, none of the words that he said flew right over her head and she just wanted to scare him off at this point.
@Life

ZYXON

Swimming down the river Zyxon heard the truck of new recruits, and had one of his rare human thoughts 'half dead by next week'.he continued down the river digging small trenches that most animals wouldn't notice when there coming in, unless they had faced St-eel before or had a keen eye. And since he doesn't leave the river unless it's raining or recently rained he is one of the lesser known but powerful morphs out here especially in water. And lucky for him everyone needs to drink water at some point.

__________________________

ALEX

Alex brought himself back up and decided it was better to stay quiet. He gave the guy who seemed worried about him a smile to show he was ok. And looked at all the faces of the people who had been kidnapped, none were familiar. He also noticed a lady who's facial expression made him feel like she thought he was a trophy she was about to earn. And all these men with guns made him think he might be.

@Life@LordofthePies

"If they let us run, circle back. They never expect you to circle back," Delta whispered to the rat man.

He would be OK. Or at least that's what Fox assumed from the smile. He would be alright, and if one that got immediately pushed around, he would be alright too.

The woman's steely gaze made Fox forget the thought of being alright. She made him want to run into the jungle or go back to sitting in the truck. He couldn't do either though. Delta just closed his eyes, waiting for them to speed up the inevitable. The thought of death made him shiver and then stand still. Not even a slight twitch of his ear. This was Delta moving the panic to the inside.

He wanted to go home, where ever that was.

@Life@Raizin

Alexandria

The carrier truck drove off after of minute of idling. The woman moves away from the tree she was leaning against and approaches the newbies, the same smirk still playing on her lips. "Look at all of you little cuties." She sighs happily stopping once she was closer. Anyone who tried to speak up was hit in the back with the butt of a gun."It's too bad that two of you will somehow die from dehydration and another three will died from starvation. Three of you will die from from poison not just from us but what the wonderful jungle has to offer, and than four of you will die from other animals."

Woe chuckles and claps her hands together, "But that just leaves four of you. That may not last long depending on if we want to just kill you or not. You guys are monsters-or will be-that need to be hunted, and what safer place to do it than in the jungle?" She turns her gaze away, looking at one of the hunters and gives a curt nod. The hunters pulls out their knives and starts cutting the zip ties that binds the new morphs hands together. "Who's ready to play? I'll give you guys a two minute head start. Staaartttiing...Mmm...now." Alexandria starts a timer on her watch.

Toyosi

Toyosi shakes her head, listening to the woman's words in disbelief. This wasn't right or felt real, this has to be some kind of sick joke. But how could someone go through such big lengths just for a joke. A hunter approaches her with a knife causing her to flinch away, but the man cut away the suffocating zip ties that held her hands together. She swallows, rubbing her raw and red wrist as her position relaxed. Her eyes darted around looking at the Hunters and the others, "This can't be real." She whispers under her breath, tears were already stinging her eyes as they formed.

Koen

The hunter Nill growls and fires one of his shots at Fortress. He backs up next to Koen taking an protective stance close to his captive. He wasn't going to lose his catch. "Get out of here, you hunk of meat!" He yells at the armored morph, waving one of his hands around to try and spook her. It was easy to tell, she makes him nervous. His jerky movements only seem to worsen.

Koen watches Fortress closely, no doubt she is a rare morph with her armored look. She didn't look to friendly either with her display of threatening aggression. A little out a small hiss baring his fangs when the hunter Nill entangles his fingers into Koen's hair with a tight grip. Being pulled up forcefully from the ground, his movement limited still. He struggles to get his hands loose or to get his hair free from the hunter's grip.

(Waiting in river near the sound of the truck leaving)

ALEX

Alex listened to every word the woman said by now realizing she was serious and that their lives were in serious danger. 'She made it sound like she had done this before which meant we weren't the first ones, and what does she mean by will-be-monsters?' he pondered this for a moment then realized he had to figure out what to do next. The guy next to him had told him if we they let us run to circle around. but he didnt know if they would just be waiting here so he might just run, definitely not near water that's where they would check first 'I'll have to go there tonight or tomorrow. And then I need a place for shelter but I haven't explored this place like they have no doubt so my only choice is to make shelter. And the final question to ask myself right now. go alone or attempt strength in numbers?' after snapping out of his serious train of thought he whispered to the guy next to him "head towards the water then curve right and away from the river if you want to meet up bring who ever you want i'll give you seven minutes" he wasn't sure that was enough time but he couldn't risk any more.

@Life@LordofthePies

Delta gave a small nod to his whisper buddy. He tried to picture the river to keep himself from freaking out in front of the woman talking about monsters. He didn't want to be a monster. River... river... river? After repeating "river" under his breath a few times he began to picture it. It had semi-clear water, a clearing next to it. Maybe even a bend. Some fishes hiding in river plants. Some trees on the opposite side. Fox hoped this is what it looked like. He kept adding details, not realizing he was spacing out.

@Life @Raizin

Lei

Many times had she encountered that woman, lacking in weapons and form but having the same "claws" and "fangs" of a monster. One of the only hunters Lei would avoid in this horrible game. Had she not been so skilled, shed been dead long ago by that woman's hands. She slightly shuddered, remembering the encounters. Lei hated her, would kill her if she could, but was still fearful of her. It may be for them as well, Lei thought. Though her sight was blurred, it would always be visible- fear.

The baby anaconda twirled in her hands once again, smelling another presence. The scent was present, but she ignored it as it didn't seem too near. Maybe another morph or an actual animal. I'll let this go soon, will find later Lei eyed at the river. She continued to watch the captives as she tried to tire out the snake once more.

@Life@Raizin

Alexandria starts making a ticking noise as she does. “80 seconds left, pumpkins. Don’t make this any easier than it needs to be. There's no fun in that." Her voice having a distorted sweetness. She turns around once more stopping her pacing next to a fellow hunted and lowers her hand with the watch. “Well, I guess some of you just need a little tinsy nudge.” In the blink of an eye, she grabs the hunter's sidearm next to her and without hesitation pulls the trigger as soon as she aimed for her target. A new morph falls limp to the ground, a bullet hole dead center on the guy's forehead. "60 seconds." She chirps with a innocent looking grin.


Toyosi gasp when the revolver was fired. Her heart rate spiked as she glanced over to the fallen captive. The man's eyes were already lifeless and red blood pooled out from the wound. This was very real, this wasn't some sick joke or a horrible nightmare. It was to real. With haste, Toyosi scrambles to her feet and rushes for the jungle reaching the end of the gravel road. In her head she was counting down the seconds anxiously. Adrenaline pumped through her system, as her only thought was to run away, get away before they kill her.

@LordofthePies @Raizin @LitCabbit

As soon as the gun went off, Delta bolted. It was time to use some of his nervous energy. He didn't even notice he had entered the jungle, his mind too focused on finding a river. Preferably the one he had pictured. Instructions still fresh in his mind he ran deeper into the trees. He didn't want to get left behind, and from what he understood being together against a threat is better than being alone. "Head towards the water then curve right and away from the river if you want to meet... I'll give you seven minutes."

"Seven minutes..." How many had passed? Fox began to slow down. He didn't think he was in any imminent danger. The threats were back there, so far away. Not as far away as he wanted. Delta slowed to a walking pace. He wondered if he would even find a river. He just picked a direction and ran.

So much for not being alone. He slowed even more, anxious and angry thoughts filling his mind. He was going to die out here. What's the point in finding the river, he was going to die anyway... Fox kicked a pebble. He froze when he heard the splash. His mind bucked back into overdrive.

Streams lead to rivers right? The river will lead to people. The stream will take me where I need to go. The stream will take me to safety! With a very happy hop, he began running alongside the stream, hoping to find the river and perhaps his salvation.

@Life @Raizin @LitCabbit

ALEX

Alex didnt waste a moment running away. That lady didnt look like she was here to hunt but she clearly knew how to shoot. he ran until he could hear water then just like he told the man next to him he curved right and away from the river. while running this way he saw a lady in a tree, but the lady was hissing at, or maybe with a snake. "What the hell?" He didn't bother going over to the lady out of fear she might not be friendly. After running for a while he stopped and decided to hide in a tree for the time being. 'I'll give him 3 minutes since it took me about 4 to get here' he planned to wait for the man so that they would have power in numbers. He wasn't sure what was going on here, but he knew he couldn't take anything going on lightly so he began to think about the entire situation while waiting for his new partner.

@Life@LitCabbit@LordofthePies

Fortress just continued to walk towards the hunter as the shotgun fired off and the slug ricochet off her tail and into a tree next to her that splintered easily as though in testemate to Fortress's armor's strength. She gave a small smirk and looked from her tail to the tree, there wasn't even a mark on her. She reach about 10 feet from them and stopped, if he left she would have just walked away as well but if he took another shot she would charge directly at him and tempt to flatten him.
@Life

The Hunter Nill growls in frustration, the damn morph armor was to strong for his shotgun. He curses under his breath, and drags Koen in front of him. He kept his strong grip on the bat morph's hair. The Hunter wasn't going to let go of his prize neither was he going to let that armor morph convince him otherwise. He starts backing up, dragging Koen with him. The shotgun was still being held up, but was going to be more of a last resort having only one shell left in the barrel
@The ghost in black


Toyosi was still running blindly, tempted to get as much distance as she can from that nightmare. When she did starts to slow down to catch her breath, she looks around with wild eyes. Nothing but trees and vines, but there was a whole lot more sounds from chirping birds or hollering monkeys to the creaking of branches.
(Editing still be same basic content)

Delta reached the river, breathing heavily. The river was almost what he imagined. There didn't seem to be a clearing or a bend though. He was content. He finally found it. Fox stopped running and stood, scanning the area. He spotted the soon to be companion standing on the other side of the river. Without really thinking about his actions, he waved to get the man's attention, probably unknowingly getting someone else's too. It seemed that Delta could be incredibly dense at times.

After flailing his arms around in the air for a bit, Fox decided he should probably cross the river to get over there. He glanced at the water, wondering if there was a slightly better place to cross. He didn't want to get sucked into the river by the current, so he began walking along the edge of the water to see if he could find somewhere not as deep to cross. Delta hoped there was nothing in the river that could really hurt him, but he could be wrong.
