11:00a.m.

Katie and Victoria have been walking and searching for hours.

Katie: My goodness. It sure does get hot here.

Victoria: I know right? I'm about to take all my clothes off and go the rest of the way naked.

Katie: Yeah. I'd like to see you do that.

Victoria: Well its hot out here. And these boots hold in heat.

Katie: Here. Pull your hair back. It will help.

Katie hands Victoria a ponytail holder. Victoria takes it and she pulls her hair back.

Victoria: Alright. But I don't know how much good it will do.

Katie pulls her hair back as well. They walk on. They come to a 2 way path and they stop.

Katie: Hm.

Katie crosses her arms.

Victoria: Hey look at that.

Victoria points out smoke in the sky.

Katie: Smoke. That means there are people near by.

Victoria: Right.

Katie: Okay. Which way do we go? Left or right?

Victoria: Take a look at the smoke. It will be a short cut if we take the right path.

Katie: You think so?

Victoria: Yeah.

Katie: Alright let's go.

They walk down the right path.

Victoria: If we find a lake. I'm gonna skinny dipping. I gotta cool off.

Katie smirks and she shakes her head.

Katie: Alright. Fine. I'll probably join you. It is really hot out here.

They walk for about a mile and they find some foot prints in the dirt.

Katie: Hey. Look at that. Foot prints.

Victoria: Yeah. Some kind of fight went on here.

Katie gets down on a knee and she looks at the foot prints.

Katie: Hmmm.

Victoria: Somebody got ambushed here.

Katie: Yeah. And from the looks of the foot prints. They got ambushed by 10 or 12 people.

Victoria: Yeah.

Katie: Oh. And look at that.

Katie points out a set of foot prints running away from the others.

Victoria: It looks like whoever it was got away.

Katie: Unless there was more than one. Maybe only one got away.

Victoria: What are you saying?

Katie: Maybe Mickie and Rebecca got ambushed. Maybe only one got away.

Victoria: Ohhh.

Katie: And look at the foot prints. Whoever made those foot prints was barefoot when they ran away.

Victoria: How do you know they were running?

Katie: Look at how far apart they are.

Victoria: Oh yeah.

Katie: Do you think Mickie or Rebecca could have made these?

Victoria: Well. Mickie goes barefoot like all the time at home. But I don't think she would be running around barefoot out here.

Katie: Right. Unless she got ambushed.

Victoria: Dang. It would take some strong monsters to ambush Mickie and make her run.

Katie: Now I'm really worried.

Victoria: Hm. Well I guess we better find them and fast.

Katie: Its also possible these could be Rebecca's foot prints.

Victoria: Yeah. Rebecca likes running around barefoot as much as Mickie...but I still don't think she would go barefoot out here.

Katie takes a closer look at the foot prints.

Katie: Hmmm. No. Not possible.

Victoria: Why?

Katie: Rebecca has small feet. While Mickie has big feet. Whoever made these foot prints has big feet and they are the perfect size for Mickie's feet.

Victoria: So...Do you think their in trouble?

Katie: That would be my guess.

Suddenly the guy walks out again.

Guy: Hey uh. Pardon me but could you help out a fellow American who's down on his luck?

Victoria: I got this.

Victoria takes a coin from her pocket and she flips it to him and he walks off.

Katie: Who is that guy anyway?

Victoria: I don't know.

Katie: Okay. Let's follow these foot prints. Come on blood hound.

Victoria: Hey.

Katie: No back talk. Down on your knees you dog.

Katie bonks Victoria on the head.

Victoria: Oh!

Victoria drops to her knees.

Katie: Now. Follow those foot prints!

Victoria: Woof! Woof!

Victoria follows the foot prints. Katie follows her. Victoria follows the foot prints for over a mile. Victoria comes to a place where the foot prints go around a tree 3 times and then move on. Victoria stops and she lays on the ground like a dog. Katie pets her like a dog.

Katie: That's a good girl. Keep following those foot prints.

Victoria howls and she follows the foot prints. She comes to a place where the foot prints go into a cave. Victoria stops outside the cave and she howls.

Katie: Is she in there girl? Huh? Is she?

Katie leans down to Victoria. Victoria licks her cheek.

Katie: Ohh!

Katie makes a face as she steps back and she wipes her cheek.

Katie: Why you!

Katie grabs Victoria by the pony tail and she pulls her up to her feet.

Victoria: Ouch! Ouch!

Katie: What's the big idea?

Victoria: Whoa. Take it easy.

Katie: Just who do you think you are anyway?

Victoria: Sorry. I got carried away.

Katie: Make sure it don't happen again or else.

Victoria: Or else what?

Katie: Or else this!

Katie smacks Victoria in the face 3x then a bonk to the gut and a bonk to the head.

Victoria: Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh look!

Victoria points at some more foot prints.

Katie: Hey...Those foot prints were not there when we came here.

Victoria: Are you sure?

Katie: Yeah. We're being followed.

Victoria: Oh no.

Katie: Mickie? Mickie? Rebecca? Are you there? Can you hear me? Its Katie.

Victoria: Yeah and me too. Victoria.

They look around.

Victoria: Hey. Listen.

Katie: I don't hear anything.

Victoria: Right. I get the feeling something bad is about to happen.

Suddenly a branch snaps. Katie and Victoria are startled.

Victoria: Do you think its the same monsters that chased Mickie and Rebecca?

Katie: Maybe. Or it might be Mickie and Rebecca.

Victoria: Yeah.

Katie: Come on. Let's keep following the foot prints. I'm sure its just some kind of animal.

Katie and Victoria follow the foot prints.

Katie: Mickie! Mickie! Rebecca!

Victoria: Rebecca! Mickie!

Katie: This is just crazy.

Victoria: I know.

Suddenly a bunch of natives run out. Katie and Victoria are startled. They have spears.

Katie: Ummm.

Katie giggles.

Katie: Hi guys.

Katie elbows Victoria.

Katie: Let me do the talking. Watch me sweet talk our way out of here.

Victoria: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Katie: We come to you in peace.

The Natives look at Katie.

Katie: We mean you no harm. We looking for two beautiful young girls. You know...Girls.

Native: Girls.

Katie: Yes. Girls. We give you lots of nice things if you let us go.

Katie pulls out one of Victoria's shirts.

Katie: See pretty clothes.

Natives: Ohhhh.

Katie pulls out some shoes.

Katie: Nice shoes.

Natives: Ahhhhh.

Katie: Make em lots of good music.

Katie sets a boom box on the ground. The Natives scream and cheer.

Katie: We give you all this great stuff and you let us go free...How about it?

Moments later. Katie and Victoria have been taken to the Native village. Both are nearly naked with only small pieces of rags covering their boobs and private parts however. The bottom part of their outfit is made up of a thong.

Victoria: Great work Katie.

Katie: Ahhh. You and your short cuts.

Victoria: Let me do the talking. I'll sweet talk our way out.

Katie: Hey I tried. Man. My whole butt is hanging out. I feel so...so...I don't know.

Victoria: Well. At least we're out of those hot clothes and boots. I'm feeling pretty good.

Katie: Victoria.

Victoria: Yeah?

Katie: Shut up.

4:00p.m.

Rebecca is sitting back and she's trying to relax and rest her injuries. Her foot and knee are bandaged up good. She sits back and she has a glass of ice cold pink lemonade. Braun walks to her. Rebecca smiles as she looks at him.

Rebecca: Hi.

Braun: Are you uh...Are you okay? Your injuries I mean.

Rebecca: Yes. Thank you so much for asking.

Braun: Can you stand?

Rebecca: Yeah. I'm healing pretty good. It really wasn't a bad injury.

Rebecca stands up and she manages to stand on her feet. Even putting most of her weight on her bad foot.

Braun: Impressive. Then again you are a Saiyan. And Saiyan's heal fast.

Rebecca: I know. Isn't it great being a Saiyan?

Braun: Hm. Yeah.

Rebecca: So uh. Were you lonely without me last night?

Braun: I managed.

Rebecca: I was so so lonely last night.

Braun: Well if you ask nice. I'm sure Torrie would be more than happy to give you some company tonight.

Rebecca looks disappointed.

Braun: I'm glad to hear your okay. We Saiyan's gotta stick together.

Braun walks off. Rebecca watches him for a moment and she crosses her arms.

Rebecca: I got him the one night. Why can't I get him again?

Rebecca looks alittle upset.

Rebecca: Maybe...Maybe I wasn't good enough for him...Or maybe...Maybe I'm not pretty enough.

Rebecca looks alittle sad as she sits back down in her chair and she picks up her glass of pink lemonade and she drinks. Braun walks by Torrie's tent. Mickie walks up to him.

Mickie: Braun.

Braun: Yes?

Mickie: I need to talk to you. I agree to stay another night to let Rebecca's injuries heal and to help you defend your camp. But so far nothing has happened.

Braun: But anything could happen at anytime.

Mickie: I know that. But we've been away for a few days. Our family is gonna be worried about us.

Braun: Do they have a radio?

Mickie: Yeah.

Braun walks to his tent. Mickie follows. Braun walks into his tent and he points at the radio.

Braun: There you go. Your more than welcome to use it.

Mickie smiles.

Mickie: Thanks.

Mickie walks to the radio and she sits down and she tries to reach Trish.

Braun: I'll be out here somewhere if you need me.

Mickie waves to him. Braun leaves the tent.

Mickie: Trish. Trish. Can you hear me? Come in. Come in Trish. Its Mickie. Are you there? Trish? Come in Trish.

Mickie waits for a reply. Suddenly.

Radio: Crunchy Munchy's are the best. Looks delicious on your vest. Serve them to unwanted guests. And stuff the mattress with the rest.

Mickie makes a funny confused look.

Mickie: What?

Suddenly some Saiyan's are heard screaming.

Mickie: What's going on?

Mickie rushes out of the tent. A large group of aliens are attacking. 500 Grunts charge into the camp. 300 Elites. 400 Jackals. And 50 Hunters.

Braun: Its an all out attack! Everyone on your guard! Fight! Fight!

The Saiyan's start fighting back.

Braun: Stand your ground! Don't let them push through! They can't break us! Ahhhh!

Braun charges through a group of Grunts and he takes out 50 of them. Elites fire at Braun. Braun dodges and he takes an Elite and he throws him to the ground. Braun then fires off a Kamehameha Wave and he takes out 50 Grunts and 10 Elites. Mickie fires off a Super Kamehameha and she takes out 50 Grunts and 25 Elites and 10 Jackals. Braun frowns as he looks at her. An Elite charges Braun. Braun turns and he hits an elbow to the head. Braun then punches him in the face and he hits a big boot to the face. The Elite falls to the ground. Braun frowns as he looks over at Mickie. Mickie kicks a Grunt in the head and then she hits a punch to the gut on an Elite. A Jackal runs in. Mickie kicks it in the head. She turns back to the Elite and she sets up for a ddt. Another Elite runs in. Mickie kicks him in the gut. She then sets him up for a ddt as well.

Mickie: Ahhh!

Mickie jumps and she drops both with a huge jumping spike ddt. Mickie kicks up and 10 Elites charge in and Mickie fires off Gallick Gun taking them out.

Braun: She's strong. Alittle too strong for a female. She shouldn't be that strong.

Braun angers. He turns to a large group of Grunts and Elites. Braun fires off a Super Kamehameha and he takes out 50 Grunts. 20 Jackals and 10 Elites. Braun smirks as he looks at Mickie. Mickie hits a punch to the gut on an Elite and she flips him onto his back. He sits up and she kicks him in the back. Mickie then hits a boot to the head. She looks over at Braun.

Mickie: Hmm...Trying to prove your stronger than me huh? We'll see about that.

Mickie looks at a large group and she forms a Kamehameha Wave. She powers it up and she forms lightning in it. Mickie smirks and she fires off Super Lightning Kamehameha. She takes out 100 Grunts. 50 Elites. 100 Jackals. Mickie smirks as she looks at Braun.

Mickie: Top that...Pinky.

Braun angers.

Braun: How did she do that?! Lightning?! How?!

A Hunter runs at Braun.

Mickie: Braun! Look out!

Braun turns to the Hunter and he catches its arm. Braun flips it over on its back.

Braun: Ahhh!

Braun charges at another Hunter and he hits a big boot. A Hunter walks toward Mickie and it fires off its cannon. Mickie dives out of the way and she dodges. Mickie rolls across the ground and she gets up to a knee.

Mickie: Whoa. Those guys are packing some heavy fire power.

Mickie gets up.

Mickie: I'll fix that.

Mickie fires off a Super Kamehameha Wave. The blast hits the Hunter and it just bounces off his armor. The blast flies toward Rebecca.

Rebecca: Mickie!

Mickie: Whoa!

Mickie jumps in front of Rebecca and she knocks the blast away.

Rebecca: What happened?

Mickie: Those guys have some kind of crazy armor. They have to have a weak point.

Braun gets attacked by a group of Hunters and they pound him and beat on him. One has its back turned to Mickie.

Rebecca: Mickie do something! You got to help him!

Mickie: Okay okay.

Mickie fires off a Super Lightning Kamehameha and it hits the Hunter in the back and it blows his armor up and the Hunter growls as it falls to the ground. The Elites look shocked.

Elite 1: They killed a Hunter!

Elite 2: How is that possible?

Elite 1: Everyone fall back!

The Elites. The Jackals and the Grunts run out of the camp. The Hunters run as well. Braun is down to a knee. Mickie walks to him.

Mickie: Braun. Are you okay? That was some nasty shots you took.

Mickie holds her hand out. Braun looks at her. He then looks away and he gets up and he turns away from her.

Braun: Yeah...Yeah. I'm fine...Thanks.

Mickie: Okay.

Mickie walks to Rebecca. Braun angers as he looks at the ground then he looks at the mountains.

Braun: Saved by a female. Saved...by a female.

Braun angers more.

9:00p.m.

Seth is in the living room with his brother Roman. Seth sits back on the sofa.

Roman: How you holding up brother?

Seth: I'm getting really worried. Now Katie and Victoria are missing. Something is going on out there. I miss Mickie. I miss her company. I miss her cooking. I miss her warm hugs. I just miss her.

Roman: Well...At least you have a wife dude. I wish I was that lucky.

Seth: Dude. You need to get in the game and find your mate.

Roman: I thought I did...turned out to be wrong.

Seth: No no no. When you find your mate. It will work out.

Roman: I don't want to look at other girls though.

Seth: What do you mean?

Roman: Dude. I haven't talked about this much.

Seth: What's up bro?

Roman looks at the floor then at Seth.

Roman: Promise you won't laugh or make fun?

Seth: Sure thing.

Roman: Dude...I'm still in love with Rebecca.

Seth: I thought you got over her when she dumped you.

Roman: No. She broke my heart but I still love her. Never stopped.

Seth: Well...Maybe you should talk to her about it. Maybe she should give it another chance.

Roman: I don't know. I want too but...

Seth: If you are really in love with her...then you have to talk to her. Rebecca is a great girl. Give it a chance. Tell her how you feel. Did you ever tell her you love her?

Roman: No...I wasn't sure for awhile. Then shortly before the night when...her and Brooke double teamed me. Still don't know how that happened. I mean it was great. But it was something that just happened. Shortly before that...I knew I was in love with her. So I was blown away when she agreed to...sex that night. I was even more in love with her after that. Not lust. I enjoyed Brooke but not like I did Rebecca. Few days after that she broke my heart. I never recovered. I really would like a second chance with her. I never got a chance to tell her I love her. After she dumped me...I didn't see the point.

Seth: Well...Tell her now.

Roman: You think I should?

Seth: Of course. Would Mickie be my wife if I wouldn't have been brave enough to tell her my feelings? Probably not. But I was brave enough to tell her my feelings...and now I have a beautiful wife. And these have been the greatest years of my life.

Roman: Alright...Alright I'll tell her. I'll tell her.

Seth: Alright.

Seth smiles. Seth and Roman fist bump.

Seth: Go get her bro.

Roman: Wish me luck.

Seth: Good luck.

Meanwhile. The scene pans the Desert area. Some pirates are standing by. Mother Brain steps out. The pirates bow to her.

Pirate: Mother Brain. We have searched the Dersert and we haven't managed to find anything.

Mother Brain: Then keep searching. The entrance to the inner part of the ring has to be here.

Pirate: Very well. We'll keep searching.

Mother Brain: Have you seen anyone else? Any other aliens?

Pirate: Only the Elites and their army.

Mother Brain: Very well.

Suddenly a loud screech is heard. Ridley flies to Mother Brain and he lands by her. Mother Brain looks at him.

Mother Brain: Ridley.

Pirate: What's wrong Mother Brain?

Mother Brain: Ridley's hurt.

The pirates look shocked.

Pirate: Hurt? But how?

Mother Brain looks at Ridley.

Mother Brain: There's only one race strong enough to damage Ridley like this...Saiyan's.
