(Third person POV)

The group emerged onto the other side and took in their surroundings as the portal closed behind them. They were completely surrounded by Pine trees, and the single full moon shone down upon the trees.

Felicia breathed in the pine scent in the air, it felt refreshing.

Char was the first to speak.

"Does anyone have a clue as to where we are?"

"I know!" Sandy piped up

"This is the planet called 'Earth' the planet where our ancestors originated from! And-"

She took in a deep breath through her nose.

"We are somewhere in America, and according to all the pine trees, I think we are somewhere in... Oregon!" Everyone was impressed with Sandy's knowledge, except Neo, who just asked, "What is 'America'?"

Felicia was curious as to how Sandy knew all this.

"How do you know all this?"

She asked.

"Oh, my father has taught me everything I need to know about distinguishing my surrounding, including where we are, just by using sight and smell!"

"America..." Char thought out loud.

"I think I remember my mom telling me about this place..."

Ona cleared her throat.

"We should probably get to our hunt, so what do you think we should-"

"I SAY!"

Neo suddenly interrupted loudly.

"That we start making the battle strategy and get this over with! None of you better get in my way, I'm going to finish it off!"

Felicia rolled her eyes at his outburst, while Ona and Sandy stared open mouthed at his words.

"It's not a battle plan hairball, it's a group hunt remember?! And hunting takes precision and patience. Who taught you how to hunt?!"

Exclaimed Sandy, obviously already pissed off at Neo's selfishness. "Besides, who made you leader?" Added Ona. "I purrsonally think it should be Felicia, I saw her pass her test, she fought like a true leader." "Thanks" said Felicia.

"But I don't want to be leader unless that is what everyone wants-"

Char, Ona, and Sandy raised their paws in vote. Neo scowled and looked away. Felicia shrugged her shoulders. "Alright then, I'll lead the way, but before we move, we have to figure out what kind of creature we want to hunt. There must be some rare or exotic creature in the area for us to be sent here after all."

Char nodded in agreement.

"I agree, but if we really are in Oregon, and if I recall what my mom told me correctly, Oregon isn't known for having any rare or exotic creatures. But if I can remember which place she told me about long ago..."

Suddenly, he was interrupted by a loud screech over head. Everyone jerked their heads up and to their amazement saw the biggest vampire bat (the size of a small car) they had ever seen fly overhead. Neo was the first to speak. "That bat! That's the creature we have to hunt!"

He exclaimed and started to run after it.

"Stop!" Shouted Ona. "We don't know if it is exotic or not, and we don't know how dangerous it is!"

"Does it matter?" He yelled back. "If we don't move now, we'll loose it!"

He then took off after it.

Felicia only took a second to think before turning to the others.

"For once I think Neo is right, bats usually travel in swarms right? Well that bat is all alone, so it is obviously rare. Most hunts usually take hours before a kill is made, and we can finish the job in just a few minutes, so let's go!"

The others, after thinking it through, nodded their heads in agreement and followed after Neo.

When they reached him, he was standing in front of a huge cave. He looked to see the others arrived.

"Good to see you finally caught up. It disappeared in there, we should make a plan now!"

Felicia nodded in agreement and they got started on their plan.

Once they were satisfied, they set their plan to motion. Ona and Sandy sneaked into the cave where the bat disappeared, while Char, Neo, and Felicia climbed up the outside of the cave. Char to the left, Neo on the right, and Felicia in the middle.

After waiting for the right moment, Ona and Sandy screeched their loudest, and scared to bat out of its cave.

The three waiting cats heard its terrified screech and prepared to pounce.

"On three. One, two, THREE!"

All three cats jumped and landed on the big bat, Felicia landing on its back while Char and Neo landed on its wings.

With three large cats on it, the bat became too heavy to fly and began to descend to the ground.

Felicia landed a killing bit on its neck, but before she could finish it off, the impact of the ground surprised her and she was flung off.

A loud thud could be heard when she landed.

She, thanks to helpful training, had landed on her feet, but she felt her shoulder dislocate. She hissed in pain and tried to stand up straight, but fell over instead.

After the bat landed, only semi-conscious now, Char and Neo wasted no time ripping at the bats fragile wings, making it scream in pain and try even desperately to escape.

Neo made to get to its neck to finish what Felicia started, but was stopped by Char's odd cougar roar.

"Don't move! If you remove your weight from the wing, it'll throw us both off before you can kill it! Hold your ground!"

It was then Ona and Sandy ran up and gasped at the sight before them. "Sandy, make sure Felicia is ok, I'll finish off the prey!"

Yelled Ona and ran toward the thrashing bat, leaping on it and adding the finishing bite expertly, cracking the neck bone, and making it go limp.

Sandy was trying her best to help Felicia get up, and helped her put her shoulder back into place. The others made their way back toward them. Neo, being the strongest, dragged the bat over with them.

"Is she ok?" Asked Char, looking over at her, feeling concerned.

Sandy looked up to respond, but Felicia interrupted. "I'm fine, just dislocated my shoulder. Nothing I can't handle." She said with confidence. The others nodded in relieve that their leader was not badly hurt.

"We should get back to Carnivora soon though, so the healers can treat you properly." Sandy said.

Felicia nodded in agreement. "We got what we came here for, so let's summon our portals and go home." Everyone got into a circle and summoned out their portal orbs with their minds and crushed them into the ground. The smoke trailed upward and a small portal formed, big enough for everyone to fit through. Felicia nodded her head.

"Everyone grab a part of the bat and push it through."

Char and Neo grabbed the head and pulled toward the portal, while Ona and Sandy pushed its long wings through.

Once everyone was on the other side, Felicia made to follow them, but suddenly, a loud roar distracted her. Flattening her ears, she turned to see a giant green monster with red eyes, big lower saber-teeth, huge wings, and fungi growing from its shoulders charging toward her.

Felicia turned and ran toward the portal, but before she could pass over, she was grabbed by her long tail and pulled away. She could hear the yells of the cats on the other side called her name.

Felicia, thinking quickly, morphed into her bobcat form and escaped the creatures grasp, but as soon as she freed herself, it's other giant hand closed around her body and threw her a couple feet away from the portal.

Felicia landed with a sharp thud, but she quickly jumped up again and charged at the green creature in front of her and the only way home. Morphing into a Siberian tiger (the biggest wild cat in the world), she unsheathed her most powerful weapons and slashed the creature with her extremely sharp claws and canines.

The creature roared and stumbled to the side, giving her the opportunity to turn into her original hybrid form and run back to the portal.

Before she could make it to the portal however, she could see it was already closing.

"No!"

She roared and leaped toward it, but the portal was already too small for her to fit through.

Before it shut completely, she saw her father, a look of pure shock and horror sketched across his face, as the portal closed forever.
