Chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell
------------------------------------------------

The plane hits the ground, and in a large uproar of smoke and flame, a palace of evil, a dance of death is made, 'The Scar' is made. The boy turns to see this, but turns back to his original position, still miffed at what exactly is going on. His glasses have some dust on them, but that is quickly erradicated by some saliva rubbed onto his shirt.

'Same happen to you?', asks a distant voice, which seems to be getting closer, to the overweight, scared little boy.

'Who are you?', asks the child.

'Hi. I'm Badgerman. I've been here a few hours, we got shot down too...', he says, staring down at this child, who he seems to perceieve as the perfect stress toy for all their anger and emotions. That's at first glance, however, and you cannot judge a book by it's cover. Badgerman was smart enough, and had enough experience in short life to know that. 'Who are you?', inquisitive about the name of his potential victim, he asks.

'Erm...why do you wanna know my name?'

'I wanna know who I'm gonna be spending my time on here with...'

'Well...'

'Well...what!? What's your name?'

'I don't like to tell people my name, because they usually make fun of me. They call me a different name normally...'

'What's that?'

'Look, just drop it, Ok?'

'No, I wanna know your name. Tell me...'

'All right...Kazama...', and those three words alone cause Badgerman to stare at Kazama strangely, before bursting into a fit of laughter, joking around, and hitting Kazama on the back of the head, knocking his glasses to the floor. 'Look, if that's your attitude, just forget it, Ok?'

'Sure, whatever...Kazama!', which starts Badgerman off again. After seeing the look of destain on Badgerman's face, he quiets down, sits down and listens to whatever Kazama wants to say, whether he wants to or not. However, he notices that something else has caughty Piggy's eye, much lightening up his mood.

'Hey, what's that?', and with that, Kazama crawls over on all fours to a small hedgerow, where something peeps out. Curious and unsure, Kazama crawls over further and reaches in. What he pulls out also leaves a little mystery, but is soon cleared up by Kazama and Badgerman's collective interlect - 'I think...it's a...conch or a shell or something.'

'Ok...whatever...'

'Look, we can make a sound with it!', says a still-experimenting Kazama. He blows and it makes a loud noise that could clearly be heard all over the island.

'Lemme see that...', and with that, Badgerman snatches the conch and blows into it. 'Heh, so it does...', says Badgerman, as he begins playing with it like it's a new toy. He improves at his new found skill quickly and blows hard. From the side of the mountain, we see a number of children, ranging in shape, size and age, emerging from The Scar, where the plane crashed, where the sky is lit by the brimstone. Kazama is startled, questioning their mentality.

'Badger, they might be dangerous!'

'Nah, they're with me.'

'So, who are they?'

'Well, that's KR there, and his choir members - Iron Monkey, Whitestripes, Microchips, Phi11ip and Kerrang. Oh, and over there is Swander, and the two brothers, Redpath and Quinty. Oh, yeah, and Linx. They're a bit clingy, so don't approach them too fast.', says Badgerman, as if the leader, as if he had been on the island for months. But then again, he was a natural born leader, and everyone around him new that, even the unobservant and dim Kazama. 'Right, time for an assembly or something - we've got rules to devise, and we need a chief.'

'You be chief Badger!', says a small boy, with a shrill voice.

'Sorry, Micro, but we're gonna have a vote, so you can have your say then. So, let's do a vote.'

'Why do we need a vote anyway? I can see they all want you to be chief, and I don't care. Why do we even need a chief anyway?', asks an inquisitive Kazama.

'Look, that's the only fair way to do it, so who votes for Kazama to be chief?', and as that is said, the entire assembled group goes quiet, and no hands are raised. 'Alright then, who votes for me as chief?', and with that, all the hands raise, a few-half-unsure, but nonetheless, they all want Badgerman to be the chief, and so it is done: 'Ok then, the results speak for themselves - I am the chief, and that's that. Now, we need some people to make a fire. Who will do that?'. As if under his spell, several hands raise, and Badger nods his head in acknowldgement, as he does the same for several other choire groups, until we get to the final one. 'Hunting then?', and as the only few left, KR and his choir (or littluns, as they will be known through this spoof) raise their hands in acceptance. 'Right KR, we need you and your hunters to go out and kill every other night for food. Do you underst...'. Before he can finish, they pelt out into the night in search for weapons.

--------------------

KR and his travelling circus finally stop running, and out of breath, KR looks around, sensing something around him.

'Hey, is there something there?'

'Nah, I don't think so KR', announces Kerrang, which puts KR's mind at rest, but brings back the excitement of the chase to him, and the rest of the troop.

'Ok, well, it looks like we've got some good weapons here. Let's gather them u...', and he is interrupted by a loud, snorting noise. What could it be, thinks KR? As the oldest in the group, he must stay calm and show good leadership skills, as he learnt back home. 'Alright, I think we might have an animal here. Get a stick and look around'. Another loud noise makes them all jump and as they're backs are turned in a moment of weakness, something runs through the creepers and past them, but they are observant enough to notice. 'Get it! Kill the pig! Take it's blood!', chants KR, as they begin to chase the pig. They catch up to it, but it is still a good lead ahead. KR lunges his bamboo stick forth and misses, but pulls a flick-knife out of his pocket and slashes it across the head, causing it to fall to the floor. 'We got it. Now, let's take it back to the camp and cook it.', and this alone sparks many a cheer from his entourage. KR goes to lift it up, but the pig quickly runs off, with bloody pouring from it's face. It gets a good lead ahead, and they decide to abandon it.

Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters
---------------------------------------------

Badger is huddled in the jungle near Castle Rock, as dusk passes. Ralph notices Redpath and Quinty, who are guarding Castle Rock under KR's leadership.

"Hey guys! What the hell did they do to you?", asks Badger.

"We don't wanna talk about it, but listen, we're on your side. KR's tribe are gonna be hunting you tomorrow, and they said something about sharpening their sticks at both ends.", states Redpath.

"I got a hiding spot right here.", shows Badger, hiding back into the confines of the secluded jungle.

----------

It is the next morning. Redpath approaches KR.

"I've found Badger's hiding place it's behind Castle Rock, in the jungle, next to those long creeper things."

"Thanks Red, now to try and drive him out of there, it's far too laden with stinging nettles for any of us to go in there with a stick and get out without a scratch from the stick.", adds KR.

A boulder rolls down, missing Badger by miles. Another boulder is rolled down, but misses smashing Badger. Other attempts of getting Badger from his hiding spot are unsuccessful, so they set the entire area on fire in desperation.

Badger begins to run from the advancing fire, making his way to Swander's mat of creepers where he hides and lays low. The savages advance with the fire, searching, hunting for Badger. They finally reach Badger's hiding spot, and Linx looks in. Badger attacks him, knocking him over, and begins running to the beach. Running wildly, he almost crashes into a large, tall figure.

"I was attracted by all this fire...So, was the stay all fun and games then?", says this man, who we presume is a Naval Officer.

He is surprised at the spears and face paint on many of the boys. Some are crying, many are confused.

"Everyone here then?", asks the officer.

"Two boys are dead...", replies KR.

Everyone is taken to a Navy cruiser.

The End.

Chapter 11: Castle Rock
--------------------------------------

"Assembly time, now!", states Badger. A crowd emerges, but Piggy, the twins and a few littl'uns are the only ones left to attend. "Why don't we all just go to KR and demand the damn specs back!? We're not savages and rescue is not just a game". Badger, Redpath and Quinty set off carrying spears, leading Kazama holding the conch.

----------

Meanwhile, the scene begins at Castle Rock.

"Halt!", orders Linx, but Badger blows the conch.

"I'm callinh an assembly, so hand back the specs!"

KR steps forward. He laughs at their request to return the specs, and a fight ensues.

"Grab the twins and tie them up!", orders KR, and so it is done.

Suddenly, interrupting the fighting, Kazama speaks up: "Is it better to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill!?".

Everyone remains silent and hears his message. As Kazama continues his preaching of democracy, Linx slams the lever holding the boulder and it goes careening down. Badger dodges the rock, but the unseeing Kazama is struck, sending him flying 40 feet straight down and shattering the conch. Even KR is a bit surprised with Linx's quick and brutal action.

"This will you next, Badge!", states KR.

Badger begins to run away, and the tribe eventually gives up pursuit under KR's order.

Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses
----------------------------------------------------

Redpath and Quinty are collecting wood for the fire, whilst Kazama and Badger are sitting.

"That shouldn't have happened...It was just a mistake...", announces Badger, somewhat shaken up by the entire incident.

Jack walks past, the rest of the group in tow. "Now, let's try this again, who is on my side in this?", and all the hands, bar Redpath, Quinty, Badger and Kazama, raise, pledging their loyalty to KR.

"It was just an accident, and we just got caught up in it.", proclaims Kazama.

---------------

KR meanwhile is guarding his fort on Castle Rock, where Linx is always ready to use a lever to drop a boulder on intruders. KR has a boy tied up and beaten. His savagery is obvious now, and his face is always painted.

"This is what happens to anyone that crosses me, got it!?", states KR.

Badger is still pondering over watching the fire.

"Remember, Badge, this fire is a neccesity, you're right, we need it to get outta here...", announces Kazama.

"Yeah...", is all that Badger replies with, obviously shocked and upset at the death of Swander. He looks over to the twins, Redpath and Quinty and shouts to them: "Good work guys, we're doing what's right for the group! Jack's wrong!".

They finally concede to leave the fire and go to their shelters. They are woken up by unusual sounds.

"What's that!?", asks Kazama, worried, and breathing heavily.

However, it turns out to be KR and the tribe searching for fire. They break into the shelter and begin to fight for Kazama's glasses, cutting and knocking teeth loose in the process.

Chapter 9: A View to a Death
-------------------------------------------

A violent storm is raging on the island, while Swander finally wakes up from his faint. He staggers towards the beach to tell the other boys about his ordeal.

Even Kazama and Badgerman got in on the festivities, joining the others in the roasting of the pig. "You're all loyal to me, yeah?", asks Jack.

"We need to keep the fire alive!", interupts Badger.

However, this hardly seems to have an affect on any of the boys, who are already overcome by KR's leadership and ability to tell them what they want to hear.

"Come on! Cut the crap! What will we do without shelters?", adds Badger.

"Begin the dance!", orders KR, ignoring Badger, oblivious to any dangers.

And so the dance begins. Linx plays the pig, and as the boys begin dancing, even Kazama and Badger feel the strong lure to be part of the group, take part in this primal ritual. As before, the dance escalates into real attacking, but they are distracted by a figure emerging from the jungle.

"Its the beast! Kill it!", shout a few odd voices, and so they all begin attacking it.

Lightning reveals the beaten and dead body of Swander, which is then carried out to the sea by the current.

Gah, I gotta say that I agree with you here. Ah well, only five parts (four after this one) left.

Chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness
----------------------------------------------

The scene begins at the mountain.

"Alright, let's call a meeting.", announces KR, and so the group crowd into a circle. "My first issue is this beast. We need to hunt it!"

"Shut up, stop acting so hard. You and your hunters are a bunch of cowards!", proclaims Badgerman.

"Right, does anyone ELSE think that Ralph shouldn't be chief?", and with that, warrants no response. "So, who's coming with me then?" and KR runs off, tears in his eyes.

"Let's move the fire up the beach, I've got a feeling the beast is blocking it."

And so they begin to walk up the beach. When they get there, they realise that most of the gang did actually go with KR, and so only Badgerman, Swander, Kazama, Redpath and Quinty.

----------

Meanwhile, KR begins to hunt, and they come across something strange. Upon further inspection it becomes clear that what they have discovered is a sow and some baby piglets. Unknown to the gang, this is the spot where Simon goes to relax. "After three, let's get them. 1...2...3!", and with that, KR and Co. attack the group. However, the piglets escape whilst they impale the sow on a stick. They rip the sow's head off and place it on a stick, as a gift for the beast. "We'll need fire to cook this meat, so let's go."

----------

Back home, Badgerman is gazing into the sun when he hears something. He turns around, but nothing is there. He turns around again, disturbed by another noise to find KR and Co. running about like wild animals, raiding the place. "Hey!", shouts Badger, in an attempt to gain their attention, but it is futile, and just before they run off, KR turns around.

"Come join us at our feast, if you're man enough...", KR proclaims. KR then runs along to catch up with the rest of his clique.

"The fire's more important than that.", claims Badger.

"Er...why?", enquires Kazama.

"So that we can get rescued for god's sake!"

Kazama keeps quiet after this for a while, just sitting, gazing into the evening sunset. Whilst this is going on, Swander goes off to have some time on his own, in which he walks to his tranquil nature area, in which event he comes across the Sow head on a stick (Turbonutter).

"What the hell are you?"

"I'm part of you. We're going to have fun on this island. If you try to talk about the beast to any of the others, you will be killed by them, even Badger and Kazama."

"What the hell is going on?", and with that, Swander feels a faint coming on, and promptly collapses.

Chapter 7: Shadows and Tall Trees
------------------------------------------------

Badgerman leads the others up towards the mountain, many a thought racing through his head. "You know, we should really work on our appearence - we're filthy. We might be spending the rest of our lives here! We're so dirty, and I'd like my hair cut back about half an inch.", demands Badger. Ralph begins looking out to see, obviously many thoughts in his head, as just moments ago, only the short two sentences to stop his train of thought momentarily.

"We'll get home safely.", reassures Swander87.

Meanwhile, KR notices something on the floor, which looks like footprints of some sort. He gets closer, and beckons at the other hunters to come over. "Hey, look! I think we might have a trail here. Let's go!", demands KR. And so KR, the hunters, and even Badger run after the pig, sticks and all. Ralph lunges with the stick, and nails it into the pig, striking it hard. However, it escapes. A tribal dance is formed, and The Iron Monkey acts as the pig. Badger actively participates this time, and Iron Monkey is struck full on, hurting him badly.

"Let's keep going towards the mountain!", demands Badger. "Swander, go back and tell Kazama that we won't be back for a while.", and so Swander goes to do just that. KR then scales the mountain whilst the others follow behind, and he notices something in the distance.

"What the hell is that thing!? Its moving!", proclaims KR. The rest climb up, and see what they believe to be the Beast (the body being lifted by the parachute), they make haste to leave.

Chapter 6: Beast From Air
----------------------------------------

The sky fills with darkness as a dark figure begins to float down from the sky. It is Juicy Melons. However, he is dead. He flies down and snags on some rocks, his parachute lynched there also. However, the wind is too strong, and JM is blown further, into view of Redpath and Quinty, who look on, horrified at the sight. They run back to the camp as fast as their legs can carry them. 'The beast! The beast! We saw the beast!', claims Redpath.

'We saw the beast! But it was from air! It was a beast...from air! Yeah, that's right!', adds Quinty.

'What are you talking about? That's it, assembly everyone!', proclaims Badgerman.

And so the gang gathers together by the camp.

'What are we to do about this so-called "beast" then?', asks Badger.

'We should hunt it!', announces KR, in controversial fashion, scaring many of the littluns. 'I know, let's go right now!', and with that, and a tirade of cheers, KR and many of the troop move out to catch the beast. Badger decides to come along also, being a skeptic of the apparent beast on this island, cynical that they are in great danger. Kazama stays with the littluns, in an attempt to maintain order and security on the island.

KR and co arrive at Castle Rock, a place they haven't been before. 'Look's clean to me', states Badger.

'What are you talking about!?', says KR.

'What?'

'This would make a great fort! A little help here?'

With that, the others help KR push the boulder atop the rock over the edge, and now the place is usable as a fort.

'Right, now it's time to move on.'
