Three black robed judges huddled beneath a colossal monitor, furiously taping away at the lettered keys beneath. Finally, they paused and a last button was pressed.

Battles that had taken place down on the planet below streamed through space into viewing screens across the universe. Aliens of all types eagerly watched the four battles, taking bets and choosing favorites. Somewhere on a small blue-green ball, a human child furiously took notes about the different aliens and weapons, hoping to maybe copy them somehow.

Beneath the hood, one of the judges grinned. "Let round two begin."

Alright! The judgments are in! The results were really close, so here ya go.

Nyx: score-75. Should improve use of comedy for a higher score.

Skullene: score-94.85. Should improve grammar for a higher score.

Benedict: score-83. Should improve use of comedy for a higher score.

Pepper and Mint: score-80.1. Should improve use of comedy and action for a higher score.

Shawn: score-74.3. Should improve use of comedy for a higher score.

Sancho: score-90. Individual category scores were not noted.

So there you have it! The winners for Round One are Nyx, Skullene, Benedict, and Sancho.

I've got something…special planned for Round Two.

Special events: The deadly ocean is rising, eating away at the coast. They will start at exactly midnight on the East (Ice and Forest sections) side of the planet and sunrise on the West (City and Desert sections) side. Sunrise is about five Earth hours from the planet's midnight. Competitors have only fifteen Earth hours (Planet Doom's day is thirty Earth hours long) to get to the only safe place available: the inland sea/lake at the continent's center. Due to the fact that some competitors are closer to the lake then others, all four of you will be teleported to a randomly assigned beach at the edge of a section before the ocean starts to rise.

Competitors will not be assigned specific opponents. You will all be battling against each other so that only the top two scorers will go on to round three instead of the best out of two battles. Therefore, competitors are required NOT to kill other competitors in this round. If a competitor is not found favorable by the judges, they will be eliminated via laser shot from one of the patrolling BR ships.

Competitors' Indexes have been provided with a timer and ocean locator function to show them that they need to get the heck to the center of the continent soon or else they're dead. Competitors can also find their location on the Index as well.

Now competitors just running would be very boring TV so two OCs have been sent to the planet's surface to keep you from your goal. The first: Cal the shapeshifter owned by . The second: Lucifer (a.k.a. Lucy) the bioengineered mutant owned by yours truly. Competitors can use one or both in their stories, but if they are about to die they will be beamed aboard one of the BR ships to get fixed up again and sent back down so you just might want to scare them away or convince them not to attack you. I'll give you guys their full bio-reports in the next chapter that will be up after I put this one up.

The word minimum for Round 2 is 4000. Put the title for this round "[Competitor's name]: Round 2 Season 1" and put in the story description whether or not you're putting Round 2 in the same story as Round 1 so that the judges can find your entry.

Don't forget! This round has the opportunity to get bonus points! To get bonus points, your OC must get a wound of some sort. Your entry can get up to ten points depending on how well it's incorporated into the entry.

Judges: Bonus points will be added differently into the competitors' scores so please send how much bonus points the entry should receive separate from the actual score.

Now, if you guys need to know anything, please contact me or ask the other people on the forum.

Entries will be due June the 4 unless competitors have disagreements with the date.

Nyx- Ice

Skullene- City

Benedict- Forest

Sancho- Desert
