A couple of snorks had escaped from the jail and were on the run on the outside of Snorkland, they ended up reaching a point in the back country called the Outback. What is the Outback? It's one of the most dangerous environments out here in the ocean, land of the weird and unusual as well. The hoodlums didn't know what hit them, there were the sounds of octopus growls coming from all direction. The gunfire of SSHDG weapons continues to zap the water with sound, before they know it they stumbled upon a hidden IED and it exploded.

The blast cripples the crooks and their pursuer reveals himself, he was a green snork wearing a long sleeved shirt with dark green sleeves and camouflage pants suited for a forest on land. He walked over to the hoodlums with a rifle, a special rifle rigged to shoot bullets through the water like torpedoes. Beside him was a green octopus with white eyeballs, the snork's personal companion.

"Who are you?" asked the hoodlums.

"The names Radioactive Seaworthy," said the snork, "And Welcome To The Outback."

He then aimed the rifle at the two hoodlums and fired two shots, killing them.

The story made it on the Snorktown Newspaper the next morning, it was no surprise Radio (as he is usually called) had taken the title Snorktracker since he had been doing this for months on end. He usually had helped with his neighboring Feral Snorks, Snorks who had lost their minds after being driven insane in the Outback. They're usually mostly criminals and the Snorktown Police happily gave their troublemakers serving Life Or Death Sentences to Radio where he drove them insane and they became his neighbors for life.

The entire gang was at AllStar's house for a massive dinner gathering and happened to have seen it on the paper, and learned the incident that way. All the families were gathered in the Den and happened to be talking about him. "Man, Radio is doing quite well out there in the Outback." said Dimmy, "Now I see why he never wants us to go over there and see us."

"He barley comes over to see us these days," says AllStar as he sat down the newspaper, "I wanted to spend time with him more."

"Because he's your decedent after what you did to a Nuclear Waste Barrel?" asked Dimmy.

"That too," sighs AllStar, "Man, I'll do anything to spend time with him."

"Why not you call him?" asked Mrs. Seaworthy.

"He never answers," says AllStar, "And when he does answer, he simply tells me that he's busy."

"That snork never likes to be around with other snorks," said Dr. Gallio, "It's just he and his octopus Rex out there, along with those Feral Snorks I keep hearing about."

There was a knock on the door and AllStar got up to answer it, it was Radio at the front door with Rex by his side. "Radio!" cheered AllStar as he hugged the green snork.

"AllStar," said Radio as he hugs him back tightly, "Luckily I'm here to see you, on official business from the governor."

"Wellington?" asked Mr. Seaworthy.

"Yup," said Radio as AllStar lets go of him, "You want to here it from the Governor himself?"

That's when Governor Wellington stepped through, with Junior by his side. "Radio's performance on capturing Snorktown's Most Wanted had captured the imagination of all of Snorkland, Corky asked me to put his skills to the test against the best Snork in Snorkland. That mean's you AllStar.

"Me?" asked AllStar.

"Yup," said Junior, "We're going to have Radio hunt you down as you reach from Point A to Point B in the Outback."

"The Outback?" asked Mrs. Seaworthy.

"Da Outback," said Radio in a southern accent, "It's the best place to find decent Bluegrass tunes."

"So are you up for the challenge?" asked Governor Wellington.

"Well, of course!" agreed AllStar.

"But the Outback is dangerous AllStar," noted Casey.

"Your right, that's why Occy's coming with you." said Radio, "Just for fun."

Occy leaped into the air and landed by AllStar's side in response, "Okay then, tomorrow meet up at the police station." said Governor Wellington, "Don't be late."

After the Governor and his son leaves, Radio walked up to AllStar and placed his hand on his shoulder, "You might need to get some rest AllStar, your going to need it." he says.

The next morning, at the police station. The gang arrives to the police station and Radio was there waiting for them, along with Rex who was just sitting there with a smile on his face. "So far so good," said Radio, "You wanna begin?"

"Yes," says AllStar, "What do I need to do?"

"Simple, get from Point A to Point B." said Radio, "That's it, but you cannot have any outside help. No help from your friends, just you and Occy. And just to make that clear, you'll be dropped off at a location in the Outback blindfolded and when you take off that blindfold you wait for the flare then start running to the finish line. I won't know where that finish line is, but it would be marked for you to find."

"Is there any other rules?" asked AllStar.

"Yeah, you'll be provided with a compass and a map." said Radio, "You're free to take some items with you but it must be items you can use, oh and no pictures of family members."

Why?" asked AllStar.

"Because when you think of them, your going to think of me since I' am your family member." said Radio, "Now there some rules for me, one is I can't obviously kill you and second I have to keep the pressure on you until you give up, I can't just tackle you to the ground and capture you that way because it would be way so easy. And I'm also going to be using non lethal bullets for my rifle and shotgun, so I'll be shooting you with them."

"Your going to be shooting at me?" asked AllStar.

"Until you go down, and if that's not enough for you I have other non lethal weapons at my disposal." said Radio, "All classified."

"What happens if I get hurt?" asked AllStar.

"What, you think you would be pulled out of the game by a simple cut or scrape?" asked Radio, "Your safety is your responsibility, no one is going to help you if you break your leg or something except Occy. But man, you best have strong ankles."

"Are you sure you wanna go through this AllStar?" asked Casey.

"You can back out if you want, but you might disappoint Snorkland and the Governor might not me to happy." said Radio, "But I won't care either way, it's your call."

"I'll do it!" AllStar simply says.

"Great!" said Radio, "And one more thing, there's going to be special caches for you to find and I might have some help with the locals just to up the anty."

"Caches?" asked AllStar.

"To help you get to that Point B." says Radio.

"Alright, when do we get started?" asked AllStar.

"Right now," said Radio, "The next time we see each other, you better run."
