The Ape: Final Cut

To Denver....

Feelings of disease.....

And a strange companion..

We surprisingly made it through the terminal and onto the plane with as little difficulty as we could have hoped for given the circumstances. One check-out operator did inquired, "This is your son Mr. Duke?". I took a second or two looking between the check-in operator and the ape then replied, "Definitely.". He raised his eyebrows, "Oh-ki-doh-ki" and that was it, we were through. It was only once we were aboard that I realized I still had my police badge from the Narcotics Conference hanging from my pocket. I handed the hostess our first class ticket, "R. Duke and son" she read aloud and was about to point us to our seats when a scream escaped from her mouth as her eyes fell up my profusely sweating face and then upon my alleged son. I had all of half a second to defuse the situation. Before she could compose her self I snarled, "I would think twice before you comment on the infirmities of my son..." I waved the police conference badge at her, "I'm sure there is no need to make a scene?" how was she supposed to know I was a doctor of journalism and not a cop. Fortunately, this poor woman who had rightly realized that I was attempting and succeeding to board a domestic flight with a monkey posing as my son, agreed with me and showed us to our seats. R. Duke and son were certainly attracting some strange looks, these were easily dismissed however with a casual question to the which ever on looker I made eye contact with, "I assume you'd like to know what makes me sweat like this?". The same hostess who had screamed at the appearance of my "son" came to take drink orders, "Rum and grapefruit juice for me and for my son..." the ape made a flatulent sound with his mouth, "A raspberry soda.". I slipped into unconsciousness as I drank my drink. The drugs had finally finished my energy off. I had a seven days worth of Las Vegas, LSD, mescaline, uppers, downers, laughers, screamers and an assortment of other things pumping through my veins coupled with chronic fatigue thanks to an extreme lack of sleep, comatose was the eventual expectation.

There was a sudden and loud disturbance in my blank peace of mind, reality came swimming back like a record being played backwards. Confusion rained down, movement, noise, where's the ape? He was no longer seated next to me, nor were the larger majority of the people in the first class section of the air craft, we had arrived in Denver. The fear and loathing set in, where is the god damn ape?! I had a sudden epiphany, the ape had cost nearly twice the original price because he was housebroken. As the occupants of the flight streamed for the door, I ambled in the direction of the toilet and sure enough there he was, defecating in the hand basin.

I let him finish and then led him out of the aircraft and into the terminal. I was now coming dangerously close to losing my grip on reality. I had barely slept for a week and had abused most of the stimulating substances currently known to human beings. Plus, I was now coming to realize that I had purchased an ape with no foresight into what I was going to do with him. I thought that now what be as good a time as the next to cut my losses and get the hell out of dodge, time to loose the ape. The god, gods or somebody/thing helpful must have been listening because the ape choose this precise moment to take off. He lumbered directly for a man of portly stature who was simultaneously consuming a donut and a banana. There was no time to wait around and witness the chaos, I straightened up and limped for the door. Five paces from the exit I was halted by a cop, "Hey there, buddy." you know its all going rapidly down hill when a cop mistakes you for somebody called Buddy. I turned to face my sins, "You were at the narcotics conference in Vegas!" he pointed at the badge dangling from my pocket, "I just saw a friend who got off a flight back from there. He told me there was some junky with an ape sitting in the first class section.". My thoughts suddenly strayed to the .343 magnum my attorney had abandoned me with. I decided I would have enough time to whip the gun out of my bag and drop this pig before he knew what hit him and then? Well hell, I thought, I'll go out with a bang; and this cop will have paid the price. "You weren't on that flight were you?" he asked. "Yes." is all I could manage. To my relief he started asking how funny it must have been to witness such a thing when he has distracted by a heavy commotion behind us, the ape had collided with the large, feeding human. "Christ almighty!" the cop yelled and bolted for the ape, un-holstering his pistol. A wave of calm washed over me, as the walls of calmness that hold the Airports together came crashing down around my monkey. Naturally, I about faced and walked out into the world, without a second glance.

Na'vi Allstars. Final Draft

My Name is Ebok and I am the Shooting guard for the Na’vi basketball team. The Na’vi people always had an interest in basketball ever since the Humans introduced the sport to us back home in Pandora. We had made peace after the horrid war that lead to the destruction of Home Tree. There are many humans that live on Pandora and there are just as many Na’vi natives living here on Earthy, we are able to live here as the humans kindly developed a breathing machine for us Na’vi to use which allows us to inhabit the planet. Basketball was the most popular human-engineered sport amongst the Na’vi people and we pleaded to have our places in the sport amongst the humans, that is, our own basketball team in the NBA. Eventually after many pleas and many forms of persuasion, Commissioner David Stern Jr. finally agreed to give us a shot. This is where our story begins and we had no idea of the challenge ahead of us.

I knew that this task would not be an easy one; the all-star team we faced was stacked with the best players in the league. Ranging from LeBron James all the way to Stephen Curry, these players were extremely skilled at the game and also had much more knowledge of the game than we did. We took the first two games no sweat but the humans came back with motivation to represent themselves as the top competitors of the sport and did they prove it.

They won the next three games by landslides, beating us by at least twenty or more points. We knew we had to come back with the same intensity they did in game six because if we lost this game, it would be the end of any Na’vi’s chances of ever playing in the NBA. At this point I realized, if they won the series doesn’t that mean that the match up of Na’vi vs. Humans in the game of basketball would be fair contest. So I went up to David Stern Jr. and said “If we lose this next game, doesn’t that mean that we can play in the league because it’s a fair contest between Humans and the Na’vi?” at which point Stern bluntly replied “Just wait ‘til the series is over.”
I stormed out of his office and made a huge Na’vi head shaped hole his door frame. I didn’t make an effort to duck because he didn’t make an effort to hear my plea.

Tip-off commenced and to my surprise us Na’vi had the ball. Possession wise, both teams had the ball for an equal amount of time. As for defense, they had the upper hand on us. As we were taller we had to bounce the ball quite high, which gave the opportunity for steal the ball and score many fast-break points. It was almost entertaining to see how fast the humans were able to race down to the other side of the court and how the players on the bench reacted every time a player would do a flash dunk or pass. Jake, our head coach, was yelling at us, saying that we needed to sharpen up and help each other out on the court. Jake had no idea how important the home court advantage was on this particular game, even though we had the upper hand in Height and Athleticism they still maintained to keep the scores leveled and hold the scores tied with their impeccable defense.

The score was 150-149 to us, there was six seconds left in regulation time and the ball was in our possession. Jake had told all of us that once the ball is in-bounded, just hold on to it and draw the foul or drain the time out. I had got open, I yelled for the pass and the ball started coming towards me. Time slowed down, I started imagining many of my fellow Na'vi playing in the beautiful game that is basketball and the humans and Na'vi growing closer together and accepting each other as equals and living in perfect harmony. This was when it happened, from the depths of the court, surging from the ground LeBron James Leaps almost to my height and snatches the ball from its pathway to my hands and to the Victory of the Na'vi Natives, He drove down the lane and did a 360-windmill-double-pump-no-look Slam dunk to win the game. Even though we lost, it was a beautiful defeat.

As my fellow team mates and I commenced our way to the locker room we received a standing ovation from the crowd and the players from the other team. I was in awe at this praise for failure; at this point I realized they were showing us praise for taking on the best players of the game and coming out proving that they were the better than a bunch of 10 foot aliens. Amongst the people that were applauding us was Commissioner David Stern Jr., he came up to me and shook my hand and told me to come with him to the centre of the court. He then said “On behalf of the NBA I would like to congratulate the Na’vi Super beings on their efforts in taking on the Best players in the NBA. This however was an unfair contest in my opinion, because we at the NBA care about the Na’vi instead of giving them a team in the NBA we have decided create an organization for the Na’vi to play basketball and we will call it the NBO, the Na’vi Basketball Organization. No further questions.”

I was stunned at the fact that he still said that it was an unfair contest of basketball when we clearly lost, before I could even question him about what he said he had already left. I saw the humans shoot around for a bit after all the commotion over the new league and I realized why Mr. Stern said that It was an unfair contest. When it comes to basketball, you just can’t beat the humans, enough said.

Saw 9

''Class is cancelled for the day Mr Palmer, you will have to come back tomorrow to complete your presentation'', replied Judith, rushing of to the conference meeting that had started 15 minutes ago. Dammit said Dexter, rammaging through his glovebox looking for the good stuff, that always made him feel light and hearty.AAAH! He sigh's ''Mans best friend, WEED''. Dexter happily jamming to the beats of Snoop Doggy Dog making his way back home, ''come on baby smoke it'', he said to himself buzzing out to the crack he got extremely high on. Upon his arrival to Apple Tree Cottage before he opened the door taking that one last big breath of the breezy air filled with mists of marijuana and yelling out ''up your's Carter'' his neighbour from hell. He couldn't help, but notice this tape lying right beneath his glowing timberland's that red ''PLAY ME'' with red faded out ink which almost seemed and smelled like it was the blood of someone he had once known. Dexter drops his Battle star Galactica action figures that he enjoys collecting for nanny Fifi and from behind a big THUD struck right upon his ape like head as he took a mighty crash to the floor. The next minute Dexter awoke feeling slighty dizzy and getting fuzzy vivid visions of the bloody, grimy knifes, shackles, chainsaws, sledgehammers hanging around him in that slaughter house he was locked up in.


He looked scared and furious as if he was about to pee his pants, he screamed ''HELP! HELP!Somebody get me out of here'', but nobody in that abundant building could hear his merciful cry's. Suddenly a creepy voice zoomed over to him. ''Hello Dexter, I want to play a game''.''What, who said that, replied Dexter anxiously seeking for answers by swaying his head side to side, back and forth faster than the speed of lightning. For years you have been playing games with the ones you loved, but today i will play a game with you, one which will lead you to your next challenge and take you that much closer to saving your girlfriend Sarah's life. Dexter thought for a second, SARAH! That name sounds familiar. As you can see, Sarah is locked up inside a bear cage which is surrounded by sharp spikes and you have been straped to ths metal pole with a stretchy metal wire, which will allow you to reach over these rows of pins to grab a key that will open the strap around your waist and the door to your next challenge. You will get approxiamtely 45 minutes in which you must free yourself and make your way over to the next challenge to free Sarah, before you get sliced by these rows of choppers hanging from above the ceiling. The key to freedom lies within your hands. Do you think you have what it takes to win the game Dexter''. Jigsaw explained from the recorder. Dexter could hear Sarah's screeches from way past the walls, ''LET ME OUT YOU BASTARD! HELLLPPP''. ''Oh no, I cried, Sarah is in great danger I must hurry over to her'', I thought to myself as the choppers were slowly starting to make it's way over and slice me into two's. ''AHHHHHH''. The agonising amount of pain trembling throughout my entire body as I reached over to grab the key, blood sipping out of my abdomen and flowing out like a gushing river.''LET ME GO YOU BASTARD, THERE YOU WIN I GIVE UP, THE PAIN IS TOOO MUCH, I BEG OF YOU LET ME GO. LET ME GO OR I SWEAR I WILL DO TO YOU WHAT YOU DID TO MY GIRLFRIEND, THEN WE WILL SEE HOW YOU REPENT YOU ASSHOLE''.


The timer ticking away leaving me no option , but to bare the crucial pain and ''YESSSS, finally i got the key''. Dexter quickly unlocks himself and races through the exit tumbling onto the ground before the timer comes to a halt and the choppers get released as they take a serious fall to the floor. Then he sees another tape lying where he stood like a statue that red ''PLAY ME'', he clicked the red button once more. ''Hello Dexter'', ''OH NO'', I thought again as that tortures voice reappeared once again to haunt me. '' If you are listening to this, it means you have passed your first challenge, but before you can win this game you have to find a secret code which is hidden inside one of these 20 jars that contains Sarah's hair. In order to save her you must punch in the secret code on the pedometer to release her from this cage, but be aware that you only have 30 minutes to find the code and free her. Do you have what it takes to win this game and your love Dexter. Your time begins know. ''Sarah, Dexter called out, baby i don't know where to start'', '' well don't ask me this is your game so you decide, but please hurry the spikes are getting closer to me, AHHHH! It is very painfull, I'm terrified, I dont want to DIE baby'' cried Sarah. Confused and dazed out Dexter sprinting around looking for the code, stumbling over sharp blades doing almost everything in his own power to save Sarah, but with only 5 mintues to go and the spikes slowly starts to pierce through Sarah's body. Will he make it, will he save her and finish the game once in for all..... well you better stay tuned for saw 1o to find out.

10 Fanfic reviews

FAMILY GUY:
This Family Guy Fanfic''One murdock to many'' it really interested me because it was about Meg and her boyfriend Zack trying for another baby, and Megs daughter Maddie is unhappy with the whole idea of another child coming into the family that will get all their parents attention. Their were some really funny scenes in this episode and one of them that i thought was hilarious was when old man Herbert the pervert is telling Meg to have a baby boy instead of a girl. So when he gets older he will show him'' how not to touch people'' that quote just caught my eye and it instantly gave me a flashback of how Herbert admires Chris and he always wanted to give Chris some of his popsicles that he has stashed down in his basement'' DODGY''. Everytime an episode like this one comes up and it somehow involves Herbert the pervert in it, I just love to watch it, but in this case when I read this fanfic and it involved Herbert in it I kept on reading to find out what other funny things Hebert say's about young teenage boys and how he reminises about getting married to one someday. Also how he dreams of marrying Chris Griffin. One thing that did not interest me much was how Lois always interferes in Meg and Zacks conversation and keeps telling her(Meg) not to get pregnant because she is still a teenager. I actually want her to have a baby, possibly a boy since she already has a girl because I want to see more and more of what funny things Herbert will say and do once this boy grows up. Herbert is soo creepy, but hilarious at the same time.


ACCORDING TO JIM:
This Fanfic According to Jim was real interesting. It was about how Dana thought Ryan called her fat and ugly and then Ryan had to call up Jim and get advice from him as to how he cn make things right again. Then Jim ask's his wife Cheryl on how to resolve everyone's problems so he can just relax with his beer. Anyone who reads this will laugh alot as this tv show is very ammusing, it is a great source of family entertainment. I personally have to say that this tv show is way better than two and a half men due to the fact that it has nothing to do with sleeping with womens, but more to do with pleasing a women by gifting them cheaps items so they believe that they are being loved by their man. When really the guys are just sucking up to the women, it is kind of like what happens in my wife and kids. Hilarious.


THE SIMPSONS:
This Fanfic'' The Simpsons Dinner'' was nice to read at first because it was about Homer's sister in law's coming over for dinner. It was very easy for me to follow the characters in the first few lines. This helped me to get an idea of how funny it must have been that Homer keeps doing the wrong things that make himself go ''DOH'' everytime he heard Selma's and betty's name. However, I did not like the way this person wrote their fanfic review because this persons english is not fluent and their are heaps of spelling errors, which made the middle and ending part hard to understand when Flanders was telling Homer about how he is doing his job know. I think this fanfic lacks a bit of confidence in it and if the format and structure of this fanfic was well established then it would have been easy to understand it. Otherwise i give it 4/10


HOME AND AWAY:
I was just reading a home and away fanfic'' Who's that girl'' that really interested me and it made me want to read it further on to find out what has been happening. I have missed alot of home and away shows so these fanfic's on the latest home and away is really amazing because know I can just catch up on it here. This one was about Charlie being suspicious of '' who's that girl'' that is always calling up Angelo and wanting to meet up with him. Once you get the hang of reading a home and away fanfic you will never turn back, it will always leave you wandering what's to happen next. It is excellent.


THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR:
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air Fanfic''fresh prince see know evil crossover''was good. It was about Will trying to convince his uncle Phil to take the whole family on a roadtrip before school started. This fanfic was structured well and it made for a better understanding. Also it gave us an idea of how each character reacts to an opinion that each of the family members had made, especially uncle Phil as he was the one who always took everything seriously. So when Will told him about the roadtrip, uncle Phil wasn't all so keen at first , but later came around.


SOUTH PARK:
South Park is one of the funniest cartoons out, this south park fanfic was completely different to the rest. It was written outstandingly and so it was real easy to follow. This fanfic was about Cartman daring Stan and Kyle to date each other for a whole year and they will be payed $5,000 for it. It becomes hilarious when they both agree to turn gay , being fooled by Cartman that he will pay them for it.Which means I will have to stay tuned for the next fanfic review to find out what really happens, man I can't wait. It's fanfic's like these that make for a great entertainment for elder people. It is like a cartoon made for grown up's only.


SHUTTER ISLAND:
I found that this Shutters Island fanfic''I will follow you into the dark'' a real bore. I have seen the movie and have red this fanfic on it and personally I have to say that this literally was uninteresting. It is about a girl named Avie who's parents have sent her to a mental hospital on Shutter Island. This script was real hard to follow and it was not structured well enough for I to understand who is speaking at what point. This fanfic could have been better if its presentation techniques were well thoughtout.


TOOTH FAIRY:
This Tooth Fairy Fanfic is very good. The movie itself was amazing becasue it featured the Rock in it. This fanfic''The Tooth Fairy'' is an adapted version of the real one by an 11 year old who wrote this story about a girl named Alex, her best friend Amanda and Mikayla the Tooth Fairy. It is structured nicely and organisation is brilliant. She wrote it perfectly, and so it makes for a great read. I felt like reading more, but this fanfic is rather short so it finished quickly otherwise it was cool.


SHREK:
This Shrek Fanfic''Belonging in a family that cares'' is awesome. It is completely different to the original Shrek. This one has also been adapted like the Tooth Fairy movie, but this fanfic has been changed dramatically as the characters all have a different name. Snowgre instead of Ogre, he lives in the snow with his wife Snowflake and a adopted child named Kai. The format and layout of this fanfic is great and it has been structured in a way so we can makeout where the story will take place next which is excellent because then the reader will feel intimidated to read further on to the next chapter. Whereas, the others seem to be a collosal bore and leaves you feeling rather annoyed and uninterested.


SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS:
This Spongebob Squarepants Fanfic ''Be careful what you wish for'' is very funny. The person who wrote this fanfic wrote it on Squidward's point of view of how he wishes for Spongebob to just shut up permanantly because he talks to much which is funny as. It was written out well, had real good structure, and so it was great for reading and understanding everything.

Fan Fic Reviews

Zombieland

I thought this fanfic was very unoriginal. The author basically put himself and his little sister into a block of the story and twisted the actual events of what happened in the movie. The main character Ryan basically put himself in the part where the characters go to Bill Murray's house for a place to live and basically kills Bill Murray with a Ghostbusters pun at the end. Not much effort for a fanfic but it's pretty alright.

Chuckie FF

This fanfic was well researched and well structured. It had many of the elements the original story had such as gore, swearing, violence, cruelty etc. It opened up the idea for another sequel to the Chuckie series and it wasn't a bad idea too. This particular fanfic centres around the children of Chuckie and what Glenda, his daughter, goes through in order to resurrect he father so he can continue his streak of mayhem. The story ends leaving the reader with the information that Chuckie is back and is ready for a few more kills with the target of his ex-girlfriend in mind. Good ending to a decent fanfic.

300 Random

This fanfic was basically a random mockery of the movie 300, It lacked everything. EVERYTHING. I'd summarise it as basically a really bored kid with nothing better to do than to waste people's time thinking they are about to read some legit fanfic when it's actually a time waster. Enough said.

Four Bro's Fanifc

This fanfic is basically the aftermath of what happens once the movie is over. A quick scene to show how Bobby deals with his brothers death due to his actions. It's well structured as the writer doesn't mention what Bobby's whacking at and for what reason until the end. The fanfic also takes all the original material from the film and basically just picks up from where it left off, answering some questions about how the brothers mourned the death of their youngest, Jack. It was a good fanfic, well thought-out and well written.


South Park Grown Up Fanfic

I was expecting something comedic as I figured a fan of South Park would've gone for that approach. This south park fanfic was based on the future of the current South Park characters. It gives off a gritty and dark vibe as in the very beginning of the prologue we understand that Stan Marsh's parents have recently divorced and it is suggested that this wasn't a suprise to Shelly and Stan. When I finally decided to read the beginning of this fanfic I realised that it was a prologue and not a full story. It was a good prologue, it created suspense as to what happened to Kyle. This was a big suprise as usually in the South Park series the bad things usually happen to Kenny. This Fanfic prologue was very interesting and it had a good idea and basis also, I look forward to tracking this fanfic and seeing what this person comes up with in this particular fanfic about South Park.

Wizard of Odds

This Family Guy fanfic incorporated many of the aspects the original series which is why I found it amusing. As Family Guy has made parodies of Star Wars and well, many other things, this particular fanfic writer developed a very interesting parody of the wizard of oz. For example, Having Verne Troyer, also known as 'Mini-me', as one of the munchkins in the story and having Diane Sawyer as the Good Witch of the North. Completely random? Well that's a Family Guy Fanfic at its best. It was well structured but in the beginning of the fanfic I was lead to believe that the story had a lot to do with 'Herbert the Pervert' rather than another 'Bryan & Stewie adventure', I guess it was just for false entertainment but other than that it was a good fanfic.

'When First we met'-Family Guy


I was not impressed with this particular 'Family Guy' fanfic, simply because it was too dramatic. Family Guy is a show that is considered to be a comedy is is basically for laughing purposes. Browsing through other fanfics of Family Guy, there were many with the same aspects as the original show had; Aspects such as toilet humour and random flashbacks. This fanfic was obviously not meant to make people smile. It was written rather to over-emphasise the drama of the addition of Bryan into the lives of the Family. I've read better fanfic.

Son Of Hancock

I thought this Hancock Fanfic was really good. It gave the new character mystery and traits of Hancock,e.g. Facial Structure & Drinking Habits. This made it pretty obvious that the new character could very possibly be the Son of Hancock. The Fanfic created mystery within the new character and also made him seem like possible threat to Hancock which basically opens up the idea of a Sequel for the Movie. It was a short and sweet Fanfic yet it was the right amount of words for setting up a new story and I look forward to reading the next few chapters in this particular fanfic.

That 70's Show-'Burn'.


I thought this fanfic was ok. It did incorporate many of the traits the original script had such as immaturity, hangovers and the mention of marijuana. Although it seemed to be a decent fanfic, I picked up on something odd, where in my opinion it seemed that the writer used the wrong terminology in saying that Eric and Jackie got drunk of Hyde's ''special brownies''. Since these ''special brownies'' contain marijuana I don't think saying that they got drunk off them is the write thing to say as you don't drink brownies? Anyways, the fanfic was somewhat entertaining with Eric and Jackie getting back at the rest of the gang with a prank of their own with a happy ending as a resolve for the end of the story.

Avatar Fanfic


This Fanfic was well thought-out and well structured. It was easy to follow who was talking as the different characters in the Fanfic would talk in different ways about different things so it was easy to differenciate. It was quite entertaining as it was easy to see the writer of this particular fanfic was into Classic Rock music and incorporated the artists and song lyrics into the Avatar Fanfic, even though Avatar is based on 180 years into the future it was entertaining that there were some people in this particular time that still listened to Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. The character of Grace was well portrayed in the fanfic as it had some of the similiar traits of the original character from the Movie. e.g. Even though she works with children she still uses curse words and smokes etc. The new character of James was well described and well-portrayed, as he instantly gained fame amongst the Na'vi children which was amusing. I also got the vibe that maybe the writer of this fanfic simply just added himself into the story to see how it would turn out or maybe not. Overall I think is one of the better fanfics i've read.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Lock Stock and Three Hundred Smackers

This fanfic is help to explain the deviant lives that that four main characters in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels lead. I enjoyed reading this a lot, beside the five hundred thousand dollar dept that four men have dropped into their laps, they seem to have and abundence of luck; this puts a human spin on the characters in the film. "Lock Stock and Three Hundred Smackers" reads as if it could have been a deleted scene from the film, the dialog for the characters is writen in a London accent which helped me as a reader to visualise the scenario. All round, a good fanfic.

Na'vi Allstars. Draft 1.

Seattle needed a new basketball team as their team moved to Oklahoma, so I figured that we would start a new franchise. This is where we come in, the humans and the Na’vi had made peace since the war that took place on Pandora. They developed a breathing machine so we too could breathe on Earth. We took interest in the game of Basketball from the get-go as the humans that were in avatars explained the rules of the game. We pleaded to have our own team on in the NBA but they were many arguments as to the fairness of the game as we were 3 feet taller than everyone else in the league. To test this theory of fairness they assembled an all star team to take us on in a seven game series, much like the playoffs. This is where my story begins. My name is Ebok and I am the Shooting Guard for the Na’vi Basketball team.

I knew that this task would not be an easy one; the all-star team we faced was stacked with the best players in the league. Ranging from LeBron James all the way to Stephen Curry, these players were extremely skilled at the game and also had much more knowledge of the game than we did. We took the first two games no sweat but the humans came back with motivation to represent themselves as the top competitors of the sport and did they prove it. They won the next three games by landslides, beating us by at least twenty or more points. We knew we had to come back with the same intensity they did in game six because if we lost this game, it would be the end of any Na’vi’s chances of ever playing in the NBA. At this point I realized, if they won the series doesn’t that mean that the match up of Na’vi vs. Humans in the game of basketball would be fair contest. So I went up to David Stern Jr. and said “If we lose this next game, doesn’t that mean that we can play in the league because it’s a fair contest between Humans and the Na’vi?” at which point Stern bluntly replied “Just wait ‘til the series is over.”
I stormed out of his office and made a huge Na’vi head shaped hole his door frame. I didn’t make an effort to duck because he didn’t make an effort to hear my plea.

Tip-off commenced and to my surprise us Na’vi had the ball. Possession wise, both teams had the ball for an equal amount of time. As for defense, they had the upper hand on us. As we were taller we had to bounce the ball quite high, which gave the opportunity for steal the ball and score many fast-break points. It was almost entertaining to see how fast the humans were able to race down to the other side of the court and how the players on the bench reacted every time a player would do a flash dunk or pass. Jake, our head coach, was yelling at us, saying that we needed to sharpen up and help each other out on the court. Jake had no idea how important the home court advantage was on this particular game. Needless to say, we got our tails handed to us with a one sided score of 155-107.

As my fellow team mates and I commenced our way to the locker room we received a standing ovation from the crowd and the players from the other team. I was in awe at this praise for failure; at this point I realized they were showing us praise for taking on the best players of the game and coming out proving that they were the better than a bunch of 10 foot aliens. Amongst the people that were applauding us was Commissioner David Stern Jr., he came up to me and shook my hand and told me to come with him to the centre of the court. He then said “On behalf of the NBA I would like to congratulate the Na’vi Super beings on their efforts in taking on the Best players in the NBA. This however was an unfair contest in my opinion, because we at the NBA care about the Na’vi instead of giving them a team in the NBA we have decided create an organization for the Na’vi to play basketball and we will call it the NBO, the Na’vi Basketball Organization. No further questions.” I was stunned at the fact that he still said that it was an unfair contest of basketball when we clearly lost, before I could even question him about what he said he had already left. I saw the humans shoot around for a bit after all the commotion over the new league and I realized why Mr. Stern said that It was an unfair contest. When it comes to basketball, you just can’t beat the humans, enough said.

Reservoir Dogs fanfic review

One Bullet

This fanfic is about Mr Orange and his thought to himself through out the film. Mr Orange is an undercover Police man who will be responsible for the jailing of Mr White who is trying to help him survive his gunshot wound. "One Bullet" gets the guilt Mr Orange would have been feeling through out the film very well. How ever, it was a little bit soppy for my liking, the characters in this film are very hardened people, it does quite fit that Mr Oranges starts referring to Mr White as "Father". It was a nice idea for a fanfic, far to childish for the for the film it was based on.

The Saga of Tiberius

Teetering on the edge. That's what his Chaplain had told him. Tiberius gritted his teeth as he struggled to find another handhold. He grinned fiercely. If only the Chaplain could see him now. Tiberius looked upwards.
"Only a little further" He thought. "Then, the truth."

As Tiberius struggled his way up the icy cliff, something looked down on him. The "something" smiled, showing rows of jagged teeth.
"YeS lIbRaRiAn, CoMe. I aM iN nEeD oF a NeW bOdY." It rumbled, its breath exhaling as sinister black gas.

Tiberius had almost reached the top when half his power armour shut down. The gears in his left arm, and his life support systems both deactivated at the same time, forcing Tiberius to catch hold of the cliff with only his right hand. He hung there for a while, unable to move, while his oxygen grew more and more scarce.
"This is probably a sign." He thought grimly. His power armour never failed. The machine spirits within the armour were probably trying to tell him something. He lost focus for a moment - his mind drifting back to the armour's maker...

"Martellus, where's this new suit you promised me?" Tiberius queried with a slight smile. "It's unlike you to be behind schedule." He faced the Techmarine Martellus in his own workshop - a place filled with pipes, panels, wiring and other components. Martellus turned from the suit to face Tiberius, his face masked with various mechanical devices, and a heavy breathing apparatus. Like most of his profession, Martellus believed that the more mechanical he made himself, the closer to the Machine-God he became.
"For your information Tiberius, this suit of power armour is not new, but old - very old. Its technology is difficult to understand, and even more difficult to repair." Martellus spoke calmly, his voice deep, with a metallic echo - indicating his voice box was at least partially mechanical.
"If it's that old, is there any certainty it will work?" Tiberius asked, concerned. Martellus let out a tinny sounding chuckle and returned to his work.
"Nothing in life is certain, old friend, except the victory of the Emperor, and the deaths of his Enemies." He intoned, almost like a prayer. He briefly glanced back at Tiberius again to reassure him. "Worry not. The ancients who designed this armour were far better crafters than any we now possess. Your armour will not fail you." Tiberius nodded.
"Call me when it is done."

Tiberius' mind snapped back into the present. His breath was hot in his helmet. He tried to force his left arm to move - praying to the Omnissah that the machine spirits would respond. For a few terrible moments, nothing happened, and Tiberius continued to hang there - thousands of feet up. Then suddenly his left arm reactivated, and Tiberius lunged for the top of the cliff. He still had no life support, so he quickly heaved himself over the edge, and tore off his helmet. Tiberius took huge deep gasps of the frozen air, as he lay on the very edge of the cliff he had climbed.

Finally Tiberius got to his feet and surveyed the cliff top. It was the highest point for hundreds of miles - a small plateau at the top of a truly huge mountain.
"What madness gripped me to make me climb this far?" He pondered aloud.
"I BeLiEvE I CaN aNsWeR ThAt."
Tiberius turned sharply in the direction of the voice. What he saw shocked him to his core. There, in the centre of the plateau, was a gigantic throne - made of corrupt black rock. Seated on the throne was a Daemon. A Daemon of the Chaos God Tzeentch. Shaped like a gigantic humanoid, but with the head and wings of a blue vulture, the Daemon was covered in white robes which bore the strange and sinister writings of the Warp. Its eyes burned with a golden fire, and its beak was lined with rows upon rows of razor sharp teeth.
"YoU cAmE sEeKiNg PoWeR." Said the Daemon triumphantly, its black breath staining the air. Tiberius recoiled in horror.
"I came seeking the Truth!" He yelled up at the monstrosity. The Daemon laughed maniacally, shaking the entire plateau.
"dO nOt DeNy It LiBrArIaN. AlL oF yOuR kInD dEsIrE pOwEr, iT iS tHe WaY yOu eVoLvEd. I cAn GiVe YoU wHaT yOu SeEk. I cAn gIvE yOu TrUe PoWeR."
Tiberius suddenly felt himself gripped by the same intense curiosity that had brought him here. The Daemon was right. Something inside him wanted the power it was offering. Then he remembered Martellus and his fellow Space Marines and his resolve hardened. He glared up at the Daemon with open hatred.
"I will not betray my Emperor, OR my Brothers, carrion!" He spat the last word like a curse. The Daemon's laugh became low and dangerous.
"EeEeEhEhEhEh..... ThEn Im AfRaId I mUsT mAkE yOu AcCePt... By FoRcE."

The Daemon rose from its throne and spread its wings, billowing black smoke from its mouth. It roared, charging forward. Tiberius roared back, standing his ground. He had no weapons, but Tiberius was a Librarian, his greatest weapon was his mind. The Daemon got close, and swung one of its clawed hands down at Tiberius.
"Feel the Power of the Righteous, Daemon!" Tiberius roared. His eyes shone with bright white light, and white flames shot up the Daemon's legs, spreading to its chest and arms. It staggered backwards, roaring in pain. Tiberius focused and his completely mechanical left fist began to glow the same fierce white as his eyes. As the daemon burned and screamed in pain, Tiberius whispered a last prayer, and then leapt high into the air - straight at the Daemon's chest. The entire plateau actually began to crack and crumble when Tiberius' fist connected with the Daemon's torso. The blow caved in its rib-cage, and in one surge of strength, Tiberius reached in and tore out it's foul heart. The creature began to thrash around wildly, its eyes rolling back into its head. Tiberius leapt backwards off the Daemon and lay panting on the last solid piece of the Plateau. The Daemon staggered and fell of the edge backwards, screaming and dying. It fell out of sight.

"Death to the Alien, the Mutant, the Heretic."

Twilight fanfic review

Brighter Moon

I have never personally read Twilight, hence I thought I would treat myself to a small, 400ish word fanfic on the epidemic that has swept the world in the last few years. Low and behold, I was disappointed. "Brighter Moon" is a fanfic about a crossbred Vampire/Werewolf that blessed itself upon the world by eating its way out of its mothers womb. This, of course, ultimately resulted in the demise of this poor women/wolf. As of 1918, when this beast reached the age of 18 it stopped growing and aging. It now resides as an abnormally beautiful human looking girl who, despited its heritage calls itself a vegetarian. By this it means it only drinks animal blood rather than human, not that it prefers broccoli over steak. This animals father has enlightened it that there is a family of such Vampire/Werewolf bread that also consider themselves "vegetarian". The story ends with the creature having long been curious of this family and was hence led to do "what I did". I was left bewildered and confused with the intention to investigate no further into twilight. However, if you enjoy Twilight, this was well written and coherent, I'm sure it would be fun to read.

Artemis Fowl fanfic review

Artie

"Artie" is an Artemis Fowl fanfiction set on his first day of primary school when he was four years old. I really like the idea behind this fanfic because I myself did wonder what he would have been like as a small child when I was reading the books. The author of this piece has captured the characters very well, right down to Butler scoping the environment (a primary school) for dangers. However, this is quite clearly rushed and unfinished as it is chock full of mistakes, it would have been nice to read an elaborated version of this story.

Trainspotting fanfic review

Untitled

I like the reality of this fanfic. Its clearly set after the film and places Renton right back where he started. He had the opportunity to run with the money but couldn't resist the drugs. It is an entertaining read if you are a fan of Trainspotting or if you feel inclined find out the happenings in the day to day life of a heroin junky. The description of the house Renton wakes up in and the people he is surrounded by is very vivid and quite startling, it could have been a scene from the film.

From Dusk till Dawn meets Pulp Fiction fanfic review

Jules and Vincent from Dusk till Dawn

This is one of the best fanfictions I have read so far. It was very amusing and the script worked perfectly for the characters and the scenario, I was imagining it as if I was watching it, the first time I read it. To create a dialog between Jules and Vincent (from Pulp fiction) that has not been written before and then place it into one of the best scenes in From Dusk till Dawn requires some skill. The writing style was consistent the whole way through, it didn't go into gory detail and was topped off with a great cliff hanger. All round, an thoroughly enjoyable fanfic.

From Dusk till Dawn fanfic review: round two

Old haunts and fresh blood

This fanfic is based on the one of the most prominent songs in From Dusk till Dawn. Its the song that plays during the scene before the vampires rear their gruesome heads and begin the feeding frenzy. I like this fanfic because it place the two characters it is about (kate and seth) in a waking nightmare from their experiences. During the film, the scene that the song plays during plays in is supposed to have a mesmerizing atmosphere, the girl who first turns out to be a vampire is performing a seductive dance across the table tops of the bar. That mood got in this fanfic. Very nice.

From Dusk till Dawn fanfic review

After the dawn

In my opinion, there is no better vampire film than From Dusk till Dawn. Its brutal, amusing and surprising, every thing you could ask for in a vampire movie. I have always wondered why Seth left Kate standing on the side of the road, in mexico, when her family had just been slaughtered, at the end of the film? "After the dawn" attempts to do away with this ending and it does work but, it would have been slightly more pleasant to read if Seth hadn't also been made into a sexual predator. Over all how ever, I did enjoy reading it and it worked quite well with the flow of story.

Tron fanfic review

Mirror

This fanfic is based on the movie Tron and is set 6 months from the end of the film. I like the way the story has been expanded on but i don't think the expansion when quite far enough. If you haven't watched Tron recently, which i wouldn't assume to many people have, it requires some heavy thinking before you get the hang of it. Still, short, sweet and to the point, an ok fanfic.

Stand by me fanfic review

Deafening

Stand by me is a film about four kids who walk into the wild to look for the body of a missing child, who is the same age as them. It is a story of coming of age and starting to figure out how the world works. This fanfic, "Deafening" is about the two central characters of the story, Gordie and Chris, both of which have a hard start to life. Gordie's older brother died before the time line of the film begins and Chris was raised in an abusive house hold.

"Deafening" is good description of the understanding Chris has of his best friend Gordie. Like many little brothers, Gordie viewed his brother Denny as being god like. He wasn't out to please anybody but Denny, Denny never put him down or ignored him or dismissed him. "Deafening" shows how Chris my have felt about he and Gordie's up bringings. He could be physically hurt by his father but in comparison to Gordie, his pain paled into insignificance. Chris' pain could be cured as soon as he was old enough to leave home. But, Gordie's could never and would never be stopped. The only thing i didn't like was the use of the world "like" to begin describing the intensity of a feeling.

Fan-fic Review

Jakes biggest fear.

I read this fanfic, but was not impressed. It seemed to lack ideas, it was simply a situation presented (aterryi being hurt). Jake seems corse and unthoughtful, quick to "kill the messenger" as it were, almost blaming norm for bringing him the bad news. The fanfic does not have an ending, it simply cuts off , with jake being sad/angry and looking for someone to blame. The killer is not identified, and the fanfic is left relitavly unfinished. We do not know if atteryi is alive or dead, but she has been impaled by a dagger with no hilt. There is a decent ammount of diologue i'll admit, but most of it is Jake exclaiming in anger or asking who did this to his mate. It is relitavly short, and it left me thinking "what now".


The Experement

This fanfic was interesting to me. It started off seemingly uneventful, the main character "sam," His father works for the RDA and the avatar program, but he is secretive and dosent tell sam what he is actually doing there. Sam has a 'dream' which is very vivid and strange, where he is taken to his fathers lab and injected with some burning serym. The next day he gets in a fight with a kid at school and he beats him with one punch. His strength is upgraded. The story makes the reader suspect that it wasnt a dream that he had and he was actually been made a part of an experiment. i believe this fanfic was alot more professional than the one i reviewed above this one. It actually had me interested and i thought that it could blossom into a great short story.


Cold Comfort Castle
This fanfic was situated in the world of warcraft - Azeroth. It was a very professional fanfic and i was utterly impressed and almost blowen away by how good it was. It is about a mage who goes on an adventure to 'the alterac mountains' and his situation goes steadily from bad to worse. But he managed to keep himself alive, and even makes some allies in the process. I found this entertaining, and good to read. The way it was written was interesting and it kept me wanting to know what else happened. There were 12 chapters, none of them failed to please. This fanfic would be suitable to published and sold as a short story it is that good. The characters seem real and consistant, and the action is competetiant and keeps you wanting to know what happens next. A very good fanfic.



Bb's First Fight

This facfic was about the movie "kill bill." It was relitavly short as fan fics go, and i found it to lack structure, but it had some good ideas and it kept me reading to the end. But i found the actual writing and flow of the story wasn't appealing and some of it was hard to follow. A good idea but i think the writer could have spent more time on the actual creation of the fan-fic.


Dangerous Reunions
This fanfic was about the movie 'The lion king" I found it to be well written and interesting ! It seemed like there was certainly some unfinished business in it, and i would have enjoied reading some more if the author had posted it. The characters seem to be solid, and whats going on sure is interesting. The one flaw i found was that this fanfic was too short, I would have loved seeing what it developed into. It was well written, and it made me dislike the character 'kovu' who to me seemed like an egotistic prick, and kiara who seemed to be way too jelous and smug. But this is all props to how it was written, i am impressed.


One Giant Paintbrush
This fanfic is about the "trueman show" an interesting movie. The fanfic explores the idea of what truman did after he got out of the fake world. Truman is having a romantic time with sylvia, a woman who he had a brief contact with and they were both spellbound for eachother but he was unable to see her because she was removed from his fake world. In the fanfic he finally egts to see her again , and they are watching a sunset which is ironic to what happens in the movie. I found this fanfic to be abit bland, and unentertaining, but it explored soem good ideas.


A Tight Jam

This fanfic is about futurama. I found the characters to behave as they would in the program, but the story itself wasn't so good. There wasnt much going on storywise and i found it a little dissapointing. But i was impressed with how the characters behaved and acted, as i could picture them doing that in the cartoon. This fanfic was fairly brief , and it didn't strike me as anything particularly special.

Ferngully 2

This fanfic is about the movie ferngully. I found it to be commical, and very very long. it followed a steady storyline, and it did not faile to impress. I found it was largly good, but there were afew problems with the spelling and grammer that could have been improved, and i found parts of it did not make sense. To any ferngully fans (not me) i largly recomend you read this fanfic.


Artemis Foul; Human Talk Farie Talk

This fanfic was unentertaining to me, and i found it abit bland. It was brief also - and the characters didn't act how they should have behaved in the actual book. The fanfic was absed on artemis foul, which i found to be an entertaining and good book, but the fan fic just did not appeal. I disliked is so much because it did not flow well, the characters did not behave as they should have, and the actual storyline did not appeal.


To Kill A Mocking Boy


This fanfic was well written. It is about the book of peter pan, and i found the story had flow, the ideas were solid, and the characters seemed believable. I found that this fan-fic kept me entertained right till the end, i read the whole thing without a pause because i liked it. The writing seemed almost professional; and i think that the autho is an experenced writer.

Fan-Fiction in Review.

Here are a few of the Fan-Fictions I have been browsing, and my comments on them:


The Last Heir of Anasterian

"The Last Heir of Anasterian" is a fan-fiction based in the Warcraft Universe. It follows a group of Blood Elven Knights on their quest to locate the sole remaining heir to the throne of their kingdom. I found this piece of fan-fiction interesting, though the language use and sentence structure was clumsy. Despite its gramattical flaws, the concepts were well written, and the story itself drew me in. I wish the author had posted more chapters!

Secrets of Ulduar

"Secrets of Ulduar" is another fan-fiction based in the world of Warcraft. It chronicles the adventures of two rival armies as they are forced to work together to kill an evil God and save the land from annihilation! I found the flow of this story almost flawless. Its author is obviously well practiced in his writing, and as such, it is an easy read. The storyline is amazing - though it is really a retelling official Warcraft events. They are merely presented from a more personal perspective.

Asleep

"Asleep" is a fan-ficion based on the "Dollhouse" T.V series. It details some backstory which is missing from the Series itself, involving the first moments of the character "Whiskey" and her interaction with "Topher" when she first arrives in the Dollhouse. The writer was incredibly faithful to the canon of the series, and this fan-fic actually fits perfectly with the rest of the series. The way Topher and Whiskey are described match perfectly with their characters from the T.V series. The fan-fic only really covered two short scenes, but it carried a wealth of information for any fan of the series.

Jack and the Iron Maiden

This fan-fic is based in the cartoon world of Samurai Jack, where the evil Aku owns everything, and Jack is on the run from the law. In this fan-fic, he meets a homeless robot, and through an encounter with Aku's evil police, ends up breaking her arm. Samurai Jack feels responsible, and so, begins a quest to restore her arm. However, she is so grumpy and annoying that Jack comes under ALOT of stress trying to do so. As far as the writing style of the fan-fic, the Author seemed well versed in Samurai Jack canon, and a decent author, however it failed to hold my interest. There was too much writing wasted on describing insignificant events and details.

Upon a Star

Based in the world of the Movie & Novel "Stardust", this fan-fiction chronicles the adventures of Jacqueline & Everly as they fight to save Stars from being pulled from the sky and killed by Jacqueline's bitter brother. I actually found this Fan-fic to be exceptionally well written. The characters were full and well-rounded, with their own moral stand-points and perspectives seamlessly integrated with the rest of the story. The character Alvar too, is believable, not fake, as many fan-fictions tend to be. This story rang true, in both canon and character development. I wish it was finished.

Death of the Undead

A brilliant short story based in the world of the online Webcomic "Looking for Group". It tells simply and shortly of the death of one of the main characters: Richard the Warlock. While it was in no way canon, it did shed an interesting light on the possibilities of changing the Comedy genre into a Tragedy. While in the Comic, Richard always escapes death, and indeed seems more or less immortal and unkillable, this short fan-fiction starkly contrasts that aspect of the comic - lending him mortality and pathos along with it.

The Longest Night

I actually looked this one up as a joke. I didn't understand for the life of me why someone would write a fan-fiction on a movie like "Music & Lyrics". However, having read it, I can see that it captures a very small moment and makes it shine. "The Longest Night" has suprised me with its intense and accurate characterisation, and its use of dramatic subtext to impose tension upon the otherwise innocent situation.

Today I Met a New Friend

This fan-fic was brief, set in the world of the movie "Donnie Darkko". It explored a very interesting perspective on the movie - that of mental illness. It portrays Donnie not as some revolutionary with metaphysical powers, but as someone who sees hallucinations and suffers from multiple personality disorder. Intriguing, but brief.

The Convict in Me

This fan-fic was based on the "Chronicles of Riddick" series, and shows some inner dialogue of one of the central characters from the series "Jack", the girl Riddick mentors, and then falls in love with. The movie has a tragic end for her, but leaves much unexplained. The fan-fic helps to shed a little light on some of the movie's loose ends. Not very well written however. A bit disjointed, I had to concentrate fairly hard to make sense of the constantly shifting perspectives.

Power of the Space Marines

This fan-fiction was actually a parody of actual canon novels in the Warhammer 40k Universe. It accomplished its purpose - as a short spoof of how godly and overpowered the Space Marines appear in every story written about them - in comparison to anybody else. The writing was good, in that it did not detract from the purpose, and certain stylistic elements actually added to how ridiculous the Space Marine appeared to be.

Jakes Last Stand

Jake Sully, of the Na'vi, had conquered the human invasion to Pandora. They had sent those foul alien creatures back to their dying planet, and with them, the corruption and sadness that had come with them. But they had done some serious damage to the forest, that was irreversible. They had destroyed Hometree, and with it, the home of the Na'vi. Without a home, the Na'vi became a tribe of wanderers, left to explore the unknown reaches of the forest in search of a new home. Jake with the help of the clan leader was leading the search party, to find a new home for the wandering tribe.

"Jake, come here" Said Atteryi, "I have found more bloodmoss." This was a valuable herb, that was used to heal wounds and cure a rash that was caused by a vile weed of the forest devilweed, which upon contact with, made the skin itch and bleed.
"Great work" Jake said, "Norm has a bad rash that needs curing, bring it to him." Atteryi did his bidding obediently. She was respectful of Jake's leadership, as he flew atop the great beast whose kind had only been tamed and used as a mount three times in Na'vi history. All of the clan respected Jake almost as another clan leader, Tsu'tey - he commanded that much respect.
The southern reaches of the jungle were unexplored by the Na'vi and it was believed that they went for many miles. Jake believed that they would find their new home in this section of the forest, but Atteryi wasn't so sure it was a good idea to go to those unexplored reaches; "There are reasons we have not gone there Jake, the beasts that roam those parts of the forest are far more formidable and aggressive, and the plants are noxious and poisonous, the water undrinkable."
"Atteryi, we have nowhere else to go. I see you look to the southern reaches and see a place that is uninhabitable, but I am certain we will find a new home there. An oasis in the desert of beasts and poisonous plants. If we have enough bloodmoss to neutralize what the dangerous plants do to us we will be okay, and if we keep to the air then the beasts that roam in those parts can't hurt us. I understand that we can't journey in the air the entire time, our mounts need to rest and sleep, but if we spend as little time on the forest floor as possible, I believe our losses will not be as bad as what we gain."

Atteryi looked at Jake, and something passed between them, and she knew that his mind was made up. They had a bond, and Atteryi knew when Jake set his mind to something that it would be done. They were to go into the most dangerous parts of the forest and search for a new place to claim as their own.

The people were ready for the journey, and they looked forward to finding a new place to claim as their own. They flew over this unexplored jungle, but it was hard to see the ground or in fact anything due to the coverage of trees. Jake realised that his idea of flying over this land was not going to achieve them anything, and he discussed with the Tsu'tey what their approach should be.

"The way I see it, our only means of exploring the forest and actually seeing how the land is formed, is by travelling on the ground." Jake said, urging Tsu'tey to listen to him.

"The beasts that live down there are primitive, and they will attack us if we venture too close to them, or go near their young. I would forsee a lot of Na'vi deaths, if we take this approach." Tsu'tey replied.

"But we have no other choice! Our home has been destroyed by the sky people, and we have nowhere else to go. This is the only path we have that can get our people a safe home once again."

Tsu'tey nodded his great head with reluctant agreement, "Yes, your words have merit, Jake Sully. Very well, we must do this."

The tribe began its pilgrimage into the dangerous and unknown reaches of the forest, not knowing what lay ahead, but knowing that destruction and ruin lay behind them. But their spirits were far from broken, Jake had instilled upon the people a sense of happiness and hope, as if his powerful words had been absorbed by the people and accepted.

But this was before the first attack happened. A Devilsaur, a 35 foot beast resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, lumbered into a clearing near the clan, who were travelling through the undergrowth. They saw it before it saw them.

"Jake" Atteryi croaked "that is one of the most feared beasts in the entire jungle, they are a rare breed, but it has been our misfortune to meet this one so early in our travels. We must try to be quiet, and slip away before it notices us, or that will be certain death."

But before she finished her sentence, its head turned in their direction, and its large slitted eye saw them. Jake saw a cruel intelligence flicker in that eye, and it reared upon its hind legs, and let out a roar so loud, the very trees shook, and all the nearby birds took flight. Jake stood, in front of his people, and faced this monstrosity. He had nothing but a cruel blade in his hand, and his wits. The other Na'vi backed off, but Tsu'tey came to his side, a wry smile upon his lips.

"I do not mind meeting my end by your side, Jake Sully, you are an honourable friend, and I relish the opportunity to die fighting next to you in battle."

Jake grimaced, not taking his eyes off the beast. "I have done much Tsu'tey, and I do not plan to meet my end by this creature. Step back, I will do this alone."

But Tsu'tey coldly refused. The beast saw what the two Na'vi were doing, and it bellowed at them, covering them with its foul breath.

"COME ON" Jake roared, as he prepared to spring.

TESTING !!

Whoop!

Whoop!
