~THIRD PERSON~

Everything around Fierce Fox was dark and still. Behind her was a circular metal door. Pale light surrounded her ship.

"Cam, Alice, come in," Fierce Fox asked, looking around. "Can you hear me?" Her response was a glitched sound. "I guess I'm alone." She frowned. "What do I do first…?" She observed the area around her. There were strange, broken ship parts below her, covered in sand. There was also a skeleton of some kind of large sea creature. Suddenly, a voice from her radio kicked in. It was fuzzy and hard to understand.

"Fierce Fox, it's me, Alice," Alice's fuzzy voice came through. "Don't worry, you'll b-b-be fine…" The sound cracked for a bit. "Just go… third… oom…"

"What?" Fierce Fox asked. But Alice had disconnected. "I guess she said go to… and then third 'oom'. So… go to the third room? That I can do." She headed forward, passing large, metallic rooms. They had metal walls, old ship parts, and were full of seaweed. Fierce Fox wasn't too fond of them. Especially when a strange sounding voice contacted her. It buzzed in some strange language.

"What was that?" Fierce Fox questioned. She continued, arriving in the second room. She drove upwards, passing pink containments of sea creatures. She got into the third room, which was full of metal, planet-like floating objects with splashes of pink.

"...ey," Alice's voice came through. "Push… uttons… get... reen things… put green things on… power slot… memories… explain third one… hard."

"Push buttons, get green things, put the green things onto a powerslot, something to do with memories… and you'll explain the third one because it's hard?" Fierce Fox estimated. Alice didn't reply. "I hope that's correct." Fierce Fox drove past metallic walls, finding a large, red button. She pushed it. A glowing, green, puck-like object popped out of the ground. Fierce Fox shoved it around the metallic walls which were lined with shiny pink.

It was slightly frustrating to push the green object through walls and other things. But Fierce Fox persevered and got the green puck to a glowing, green slot. Her head was suddenly full of images. They seemed to be about some sort of spaceship in the past, zapping away rats and discovering dinosaurs.

"What a rush!" Fierce Fox exclaimed. "It's like the images were being displayed in my brain!"

"Emergency power…" the glitchy voice said, along with alien speak. The whole ship glowed pale pink. It was far easier to see.

"Alice? Cam?" Fierce Fox asked, raising her brow. "Is that you?" She noticed the door that she had used to enter this space had suddenly closed. "Guess I won't be leaving that way."

Alice's voice returned, "... ood job. ...econd… green… hing… not here. ...utton to… open… een door. Go… first room… " Fierce Fox was still confused. She pushed a red button which gave her a second exit. Then she understood what Alice meant. She headed down, exiting the third room. On the way down, the containments turned on.

"Looks like these tanks are turning on..." Fierce Fox noticed. She stopped talking when she saw a large, terrifying creature inside a huge containment. "Wait, what is that?!" It looked like a snake with sharp teeth. It seemed to be staring right at her. "Whoa! That thing is huge!" She quickly left the room and down, going to the first room. It was like a maze, requiring Fierce Fox to push buttons to open different doors.

"Like… maze…" Alice's voice buzzed. "Push… fferent… uttons to… open… doors. Get… thing to slot." Fierce Fox obliged and found the green puck. She shoved it through the maze-like area of metal walls, feeling impatient. She wasn't fond of this activity. Especially with the doors and having to push different buttons. She was beyond relieved when the activity was finally complete.

Her head was full of images again. It was the rat being tested on, and a meteor bringing forth the extinction of the dinosaurs.

"Looks like something went wrong ages ago." Fierce Fox observed.

"...life support…" the alien buzzed. A glowing containment nearby Fierce Fox switched on, revealing a strange-looking sea creature.

"What are you saying? I don't understand!" Fierce Fox exclaimed. She sighed, gazing at the metal walls and the old tubes here and there. Alien writing was on the walls, too.

"...one more," Alice's voice appeared. "...in second room… big fish… at end, let fish eat… hing… go past… push button… get another thing… put it in slot… also… atch out for… ture…" Her voice cracked and disappeared.

"Watch out for 'ture'?" Fierce Fox asked. "What's that supposed to mean?!" But Alice was gone. Fierce Fox sighed and headed to the second room. She swam upwards, discovering the large, scary fish had broken out, leaving behind a smashed containment. "Is that the 'ture' Alice was talking about?" Fierce Fox asked, shivering. She passed the containment, entering a metal tunnel.

The area darkened around Fierce Fox, sending chills up her spine. She passed a hole in the wall, briefly spotting the glowing, red eyes of the creature. She moved forward a bit, coming across another hole. The creature tried to get her, but it missed. Downwards was a disposal for the green pucks. Fierce Fox grabbed one. She let the creature eat it, passed it, and pressed a red button on the wall. A gateway opened up.

Fierce Fox went through the gateway, returning to the area with the pucks. She grabbed another one and brought it the way she came. She placed it in the green slot, allowing images to fill her head. They showed an alien ship crashing into the sea, quite dramatically. A robot with a purple light powered on and scanned Fierce Fox.

"...Find me. Find me…" it said.

"... don't… ollow it," Alice's crackly voice instructed. "... go above… irst room… ture there… atch out… learn… story."

"What?" Fierce Fox asked. Again, Alice was gone. Fierce Fox sighed. She drove the sub through the first room, going up a tunnel on the ceiling. She was no longer in the sub when she arrived in this new area. She jumped up a rocky entrance, discovering a large, glowing, pink rotating screen. A chair was beneath it, seating a costume, Fierce Fox soon discovered. She sat on the chair and observed the screen.

"This whole time," she said. "You were the alien thing?" It displayed the images again, and some new ones.

"Yes, it was," a black, shadowy creature with, glowing, pink eyes approached her. "It trapped me down here with it."

"Who are you?" Fierce Fox asked, eyeing the creature.

"Let's just say a lost spirit," the creature informed her. "The prophesied hero has affected this timeline. Some things - such as me - make it different from other timelines. I am only in this timeline, like yourself. I was watching the prophesied hero, to see if she would help. It seems she fears me."

"Uh… okay," Fierce Fox said, raising her brow. "So… what do you want me to do?"

"It is time for this ship to return to its own planet," the creature told her. "As for me… I will be free, too. Thanks to you, mainly. It is most likely you'll see me again."

"I will?" Fierce Fox asked. She blinked. "I don't understand. Who are you?"

"A lost spirit." the creature told her. "A very lost spirit. Goodbye, Fierce Fox." Then everything in Fierce Fox's vision turned white.

~ALICE~

Fierce Fox appeared on the boat. She looked totally normal, thank goodness. Cam and I approached her, shaking her slightly. Her eyes opened.

"Spirit…?" she asked. She noticed us. "What… what happened?"

"You appeared here, just then." I told her. Suddenly, the ground rumbled. A gigantic ship appeared in the sky - the alien ship - its pink lights blaring. It took off, sending a sonic boom throughout the atmosphere.

"What on Earth was that?" Cam asked, his brow raised.

"Something out of this world." Fierce Fox answered, looking distracted.
