Chapter 1: In Which We Begin Our Search

To preserve the FF.net standards, we've decided to pick teams from Fanfictionland. Therefore, each group will consist of two fanfic stars and one author. And we needed to make sure that the fanfic stars were of sound mind and body and could pose as an advantage to our search. So, Pokemon characters were pretty much ruled out. And Star Wars was in. Hey, they've got pilots, gunnners, Jedi, all that good stuff. And someone suggested we recruit some Sailor Moon sailor scouts, which was NOT my idea, but..hey, why not? Here's our 8:00-9:00 accounts. Each vehicle was equipped with a camera mounted on the dashboard, so as not to miss a thing..

Group 1: Kenobi, Jamie, Sailor Mercury- Dodge Ram with 4-wheel drive

Obi-Wan was driving, because Mercury wasn't old enough and Jamie has a tendency to run into trees, of which there were many around the highway. They were closest to the tiny town of Millington, where they had picked up KFC (A/N: I have no idea if there is actually a KFC in Millington. I just looked on a road map, okay?). Mercury was supposed to be navigating, but she was reading a book instead. Leaving Jamie as the navigator AND the gunner in the front seat. Kenobi was trying to act cool.

J: *pointing into a bush * LOOK! WHAT WAS THAT!?

M: Oh, shut up. You can't fool me any more. Slow down, Obi-Wan. Chill.

J: Well, YOU'RE supposed to be navigating. Don't know why I'm sitting in your seat...

O: Okay, okay, you two, cool it. This is gonna be a looooooong trip..

J & M: SHUT UP, KENOBI!

J: *attempts to crawl through the window into the bed of the truck *

M: AUGH! GET your BUTT out of my FACE!

O: *muttering * I am going to have to tape Mercury's mouth shut..that nasal high-pitched whine is making my ears ring...

Group 2: Anakin, Athena,Amidala, and Chibiusa- Toyota Tacoma with dart cannon

Anakin is driving, Athena is holding on for dear life, and Chibiusa is tied up in the bed of the truck. Apparently, we couldn't get Anakin without Amidala, so they count as one. Amidala is yakking on her cell phone. They are closer to Covington, which is full of traffic.

Athena: ACK! Anakin, DON'T!

Anakin: *has just veered around an eighteen- wheeler * What?

Athena: Oh, God...

Anakin: Man, this car is tight...hey, we've passed Covington, Athena, do ya want me to turn around?

Athena: *tightens her seatbelt * uh..yeah...

They are soon stuck at a red light, where Anakin proceeds to aim his patented Demented Creepy Lusty Leering Glare at the girl in the car next to them. Athena groans.

Chibiusa: MPH!!! *rolls around frantically *

Group 3: Delta, Luke Skywalker, and Sailor Moon- Armed hummer with big- ass tires

Luke is driving and has decided not to whine tonight, Delta is hanging out the window with a flashlight and earmuffs on, and Sailor Moon is whining. Incessantly. They are driving on the long and incredibly dark section between the two towns, which is forested on both sides. They have also opted to drive without lights, as they are the only ones out on the road, are driving very slow, and have decided that the massive floodlights of the hummer might scare off their prey. No one is saying much, except for an occasional whine from Serena. They are just thinking about how eerie everything is when a shape darts across the road and into the trees. Delta fires a dart and misses.

Luke: Quick, radio Vega! It's heading her way!

Hunters with Vega: Vega Pleiades, commanding a team of 30 armed deer hunters, all in camoflauge. They are patrolling the forest in 6 groups of 4, with 6 on deer stands strategically placed throughout the forest. Vega's radio crackles, and she listens to Delta's message.

Radio: *crackle * Vega, do you copy? We've got an unidentified object heading northeast through the forest and, well, our radar isn't picking it up, but it should be headed directly toward Frank!

Vega: *into the walkie-talkie * Yeah, I'll alert him..thanks, Delta. Over and out.

Radio: Over and out.

Vega then radios Frank the Deer Hunter, who is placidly sitting up in his tree stand having a Bud and listening to the Volunteers game on his Walkman.

(at Frank's post)

Radio: Hey, Frank, we've got an unidentified object coming your way.get ready and radio Team Four with Harry...they're in your sector. Tell them to have their weapons at the ready. Over and out.

Frank: Sure thang. Over 'n out.

Frank then contacted Harry's group, who was trudging through the underbrush in their snake boots. All four cocked their modified dart- rifles and ducked behind some bushes. The first sighting of the night.
