Terra 41 (As The Fur Flies)

Alicia 4 - Her name is Alicia and her tale is rather like that of Alicia D'Honaire (the Vixen), but before her world's Fred comes onto the scene things go differently by far! Somehow she and the entirety of the Manimal village got swept away from the Dragon's possession and into the hands of a mad human mage known only as the Doctor (not to be confused with either the Time Lord or the Voyager's Doctor). He had shrunk them down to something like only a few inches tall and placed them all inside a glass container, with a bunch of toy sized building and such to make a living.

The Fred of her world (who'd been transformed into a humanoid fox) arrived and they met briefly, but then fate stepped in and the whole lot of them got teleported to the playroom of the fox children of Manfox Fred of Terra Prime! At first, the children thought that the miniture humanoid fox was their father, somehow shrunk down into doll size, but they quickly figured out that wasn't the case!

Now, that all said, what happens next is rather involved, so we shall just recap the basics here, alright?

Okay, now the miniature humanoids who'd been swept into this room by Scott had not as of yet gotten assimilated by the special, rather invasive, nature of the Manimals of Terra Prime. The Chaos energy of Scott was still blocking it (but was rapidly getting depleted by the effort). See, the Manimals of Terra Prime used to be accursed human beings transformed by a modified lycanthropy we shall call "neo- lycanthropy". The creator of the neo-lycanthropy had been on a quest to create a new species entirely and had succeeded in sorts with the Manimals. The means that this now defunct mad creator had used to change the accursed humans into Manimals was still active, and but the Chaos energy would have converted the these new (miniture) guests as well. However, due to at first the Chaos energy and then the quick thinking of Calhoun by having them emergency beamed aboard and put into strict quarantine with force fields (and a few other high tech doohickeys) , the conversion was held off for most.

During the beam-out, not everyone had been gathered up by the transporters. . . . and stayed around long enough for the conversion to take place!

To make matters even MORE interesting, one of those converted gets rather attracted to the character and emotions given off by a bear Manimal named Manbear Synizn.....

....and falls in love with him....

Now, what does that mean, folks?

Well, here's the deal!

Now, because of what Scott did was considered by the Celestrials a dire offense....so dire in fact that there was a minimal ammount of inter- Office political manuvuering needed in order for the Alicia's destroyed Terra to be restored and the accursed humans in animal form put back there (to where they would have to sort out their own problems, alas, for themselves). The misguised Slammer ship is instead guided back to it's orignal target and let loose, destroying it's main target....the Homeworld of the Race. Their Emperor died then and there (as how it went at the end of the Enemy/Alliance war . . . as history recorded it, folks....can't change that history without serious consequences to all....including several Champions).

Nevermind, that's not important right now....

Ah, but what of Alicia, who is now a vixen Fox Manimal and Manbear Synizn (who's a bear Manimal).

Puts one's mind in motion (or is that "locomotion"?) when one things about it, I guess...

Again, that has all to do with the Manimals being one speicies, despite the different shapes.....

See, usually romantic relationships stays within the same kinds. That is, foxes with foxes, bears with bears, and so on and so on. However, that's not to say that relationships that crosses those lines don't happen. Not to say such relationships don't produce children. Oh no, nothing Platonic about those relationships. Also, I am not saying that the offspring is a hybrid of the two species. Rather, we found out that the romantic couple has one of three things happen: the male turns into a member of the female's group (for example: a bear Manimal turns into a fox Manimal), the female turns into a member of the males' group (for example a vixen Manimal turns into a bear Manimal), or both members of the duet change together into yet a new group (for example: the vixen Manimal and the bear Manimal turn into cat Manimals).

Given that the Matrix of Manbear Synizn is frozen because he's a Champion, we see that this Alicia transformed into a bear Manimal.

How exactly did that happen? Well, you may have missed it (was rather quick I admit) the first time around. Well, as far as she is concerned, come Hell or high water she's staying on Terra Prime. See, as one famous person out there once said: "It was a close run thing." Basically, she was one of several (as to be named yet if ever) minitures who'd been in the wrong place at the wrong time and thus didn't get included in the initial beam up. When that oversight was discovered, it was too late because the conversion from neo- lycanthropic cursed humans to Manimals happened in a a matter of seconds to her and those few others.

She and the others, as a matter of course, were medically (by magic) examined by Manbear Synizn to make sure that they were alright and adjusting well enough to their transformation. That said means that enough time was had for things to develope between this Alicia and Manbear Synizn...

Thus was why she fell for the manbear and thus why she became a bear Manimal.

And that said, because a lover of a Champion qualifies for Championship IF their love is true (and the lover is willing to take such a step), then she becomes a Champion when asked by Agent 4. . . .

Not only would she not ask to go back to the "undestroyed" Terra because of her new found love, she very well could not because being a Manimal meant being around the still accursed neo-lycanthropes would convert them into Manimals as well (and pretty much put to paid any chances of a cure for the curse being found).

So, after the human mages of Terra Prime were able to fix the miniturization of the accursed neo-lycanthropes (whilst Manbear Synizn was doing the same for the newest Manimals), Agent 4 teleported them back to their Terra. Once there, those neo-lycanthropes still had to fix their curse, but at least they had a chance, eh? That and they actually had a home to return to, right?

Now, all that said, Agent 4 (a Celestrial personification of Chaos) has something of a sense.....of humor. Oh, nothing more adverse for those neo-lycanthropes! They'd had enough happen to them today and for quiet a while, frankly. Rather, it was for some new Champion "recruits".

He rather likes complicated....chaotic situations . . .AND also knows of a validation Quest that needs to be taken care of that not only this NEW Champion could tackle....but some others as well.....

Some from this point in the timestream as well as uptime, where some special elfin women have just become Champions as well!

Throw in Dr. Who's TARDIS and we get a really complicated looking mess, eh?

Why so complicated?

Well, you know how Agents are.....

Has been restored to full size and now is looking to marry her new love, Manbear Synizn.

BTW, her heart belongs totally to the Manbear and her Secret Name, because of the circumstances surrounding her, is something quiet different than that of her still foxwoman sisters....
