"Hojo was a cruel man. He captured me and my kind because he wanted to use our hearts for some nefarious purpose. He turned them into creatures of darkness. I alone managed to escape the chaos when their plans fell through. After that incident, Hojo and his men left our world, with barely a trace. I only wish I could've saved the hearts he sought to corrupt... Because of him and his people, my race is nearly extinct." He turned to John Smith. "And I'm afraidthe same will happen if your people try to claim this world as their own..." Pocahontas looked to Smith. "You would do this to my people?" "Of course not! My men and I are only trying to cultivate the land. Besides, there's so much we can teach you. We've improved the lives of savages all over the world. "Savages?" she asked offended. "Uh, not that you're a savage-" "Just my people!" "No. Listen. That's not what I meant. Savage is just a word, uh, you know. A term for people who are uncivilized." "Like me?" The more John Smith tried to fix things, the bigger whole he was digging himself. "Well, when I say uncivilized. what I mean is-" "What you mean is 'not like you.'" Pocahontas said as she held his hands. A small moment was shared between the two as a gust of wind blew by. "Ever feel like you're awkwardly in the middle of a romantic moment?" Nanaki joked to Luna. Before anything could happen further, distant drumming could be heard in the distance. "Drums... They mean trouble!" "Where?" I'll come with you," Smith volunteered. "No, I shouldn't be here and neither should you... You should go back to your people as well..." She turned to the rest. "I have to return to my father quickly. Something's wrong..." Pocahontas urged. "I'll scout on ahead.... I'll alert you father if I find anything," Nanaki said, before racing off. New Objctive! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"THESE ROOMS ARE COMPLETELY SECURED AND PRIVATE. THE DOORS ONLY OPEN ONCE A VICTOR HAS BEEN DECIDED." A red clock pierced the hands of Arctus and Karina reading '60:00.' "YOU ALL HAVE ONE HOUR TO COMPLETE YOUR TASK. NOW... BEGIN!"

"I have no more beauty than any other woman," Pocahontas said humbly as her gravity defying hair blew delicately in the wind. "Been learning about her culture and heritage. Turns out we've been pretty mistaken about these people back in England. Not to mention the fact that Ratcliffe came here to look for gold and build a new town here. Boy is he gonna be disappointed." "Will they leave?" she asked curiously. "Some of them might." "Will you go home?" "Well, it's not like I have much of a home to go back to. I've never really belonged anywhere." "You could belong here..." she mentioned hopefully. "Not sure I'd fit in much," smith replied. "Why would you want us to leave anyways? We're here to help colonize you and your people. Teach you how to better use your land. Roads, buildings, you name it!" Pocahontas shook her head. "I don't think that's what\s best for us. Someone from our village came across strangers from another world. They took him and they..." Before she continued, she looked to the rest. "Perhaps it would be best if her tell you himself... Follow me." Pocahontas nimbly moved along as she guided the rest of the group. It wasn't long before she led the group from the forest clearing to the edge of the cliff side. Looking over the cliff, stood a creature that looked similar to a mountain lion. With dark red and orange fur, the four legged animal turned to the group. John Smith prepared to raise his gun only for Pocahontas to lower it immediately. "Nanaki, we have visitors," she smiled, greeting the creature with a hug. The lion-wolf looking animal looked at them with kind eyes. "So you are outsiders from another world? What do you seek here?" "It... talks?" Smith asked uncomfortably. "Nanaki helps to protect our home. He knows first hand what dangers lie beyond the river..." Pocahontas replied. Choosing to go with it for now, Smith lowered his weapon further. "Well... For me, it would be danger, adventure, and a new lease on life. What else could a man ask for?" Nanaki looked at his weapon. "Your weapon.. reminds me of the ones THEY had." "They?" Smith asked. "The men who took me. They kidnapped me and my kind... and experimented on us. A man named Hojo referred to me as Red XIII. I'm not sure what he wanted, but I managed to escape. The rest of my kind weren't so lucky... From then, I vowed to protect this world from men like you." Hojo was the same name of the man who did experiments on Vincent from Beast's Castle. "Like me?" Smith asked. "Men corrupted by their own selfish desires. To take our land and outcast our people. To you, the Earth is just a dead thing you can claim..." "Hey, I'm not like them... And it's unjust of you to assume we'd all be the same because of one bad..." Before continuing, he looked back to Pocahontas. "And I see that's what you were trying to tell me." "Congratulations John Smith. You've learned to expand your horizons...." As Nanaki said this, a large wind blew several leaves past the group. A new sensation forming... LEARNED HOWLING WINDS!
Leak or Hoax?.... You decide!
