Rivalry Revue 

Not too much later after a scandal in the real estate buisness, the incorporateds were like chilling in their house by the bayside, awaiting the latest event of epic proportions when Halifax got a notice from someone in the fighting organization that he'd been involved in.. that someone had taken notice of his fighting skills and wanted to challenge him along with some others who'd recently escaped captivity during the whole terzel xerxes affair.. and wanted to meet him head on the beach for a while, who was dragging along the recently escaped rynogoff who wanted revenge for some past, long held and pent up grudges. And indeed, he had brought along a lot of friends to challenge the incorporateds.. not really skilled, Halifax surmised, but they were pretty much well known even though they weren't amounting to much at the time.. So halifax, took up the challenge on his own since the rest of the incorporateds had some offtime.. and even set a date, and vowed to do this sort of challenge on his own despite the other incorporated's protests at the time. 

On the date, the Sangurians who wanted to challenge halifax, along with some wandering grey people came to shore.. a whole gang of them. Although one of them wanted to fight the Incorporateds single handedly, Rynogoff told him, "No.". 

Speedster, of course, wasn't too keen on the whole idea of halifax going to fight singlehandedly the 4 sangurians coming to shore, considering they had a lot of bad dreams lately about some future visions they'd gotten in their sleep, so while he contacted the authorities to keep an eye on the group who'd gathered to give Halifax a beating, as well as to have the sangurians escorted off later should any of them commit any more property damage.. Speedster sulked and sat down while crowds gathered, apparently to watch. 

Gazlennia also noticed something very odd about those that were keeping rynogoff company.. namely some former associates they'd faced in the past who felt out of place. Especially one who looked like carp a bit, though he seemed awfully young at the time. 

"Who the heck are those", Gazlennia said, "Because I sense something very wrong with them. Like they're not even human or something.. not that I've had much experience with humans during my time here." 
Casey replied, "Ohhh, they're some of those who were with Carolina when we were there a month or so ago.. one of our older enemies had them come by when this vulture had a distress. I hope they're not here to cause trouble indeed".
"Well, Casey, it's like they're somehow possessed. but don't ask me why. I just know sometimes, beings get really wierd ideas.. especially in caves", Carolina said as she walked by after she like took a shower, with her hat on. 
"Ohhh, you're so sure about that", Gazlennia said. "Because they like look like someone sucked the color out of them... like they're zombies or something."
"Ohh, don't be ridiculous. I'm pretty sure there's no zombies here yet, because it takes at least a week to like get papers for zombies to come by here, especially knowing how they eat."
"Eww, that's like so gross,", Gazlennia replied. "Because after all those hunters came by looking for like those pelts, it's been a bad deal for my people to ever, ever just let the dead should they get hungry!!"
Halifax then joined the two as he said "Ohh, man, I hope like, indeed, they're not to disturb me about renegade indeed as i like totally still have nightmares about him and his eating that vulture alive!" 
"Who indeed," said Gazlennia. And she turned to see someone join Rynogoff, a big , slightly bigger gorilla who looked pretty menacing, beat up and personally not  smelling very well.. like he'd washed up from the shore.
"Some idiot named Severn. Apparently he's got like these claws... and a real bad history of making earth a living hell somehow with the SCE's locales on earth. He's slow, but those claws could do real damage if i get too close to him. I think I could take him, and maybe most of his friends.. considering my ability to be in multiple places. This might get personal..", Halifax said...
"But really.. who are those grey people?", Speedster said. "For I really do hope, indeed, that they're not hostile.. after all, it's a pretty big galaxy with so much left undiscovered."
"SPEEDSTER, I'M HOPING THEY'RE NOT ZOMBIES!", Gazlennia said, unaware that speedster had pretty good hearing."

Halifax went to face the group as the grey people began walking onto the beach, silently and without much to say as they like began surrounding them. "Listen, you, If you're here to cause trouble, I'm here to face you.. And I've a feeling even in years to come I'll still be a force to be reckoned with, even when I grow older!", he said as Severn prepared to face off.
"Cause trouble", Severn like, said. "No, my friend, I'm here to like, make trouble. Just because Renegade like pretended to be you, just because your record was cleared, doesn't mean indeed, that we can just let you walk away.. especially considering your father! and some of the friends he's met over these long years!'
"Well, you've come to the right place for a fight. And I suppose you brought your own audience!!"
"It helps to bring in an audience as I can't fight as well when I'm alone", Severn said, "and i didn't come alone. You'll see from the sea something is like, coming out of there.. someone I call Hornball. He's not too pleased. "
"Yeah, well, ", Halifax said.. "I've had a history of not really pleasing people.. though I do hope I've got a girlfriend somewhere still.. the way things have been going lately..."..

And then Severn lunged as a battle began... with the like, crowds looking on.. 
as severn tried to cut up Halifax, but halifax, not really in the mood to be such a cutup, managed to evade the flailing blows of Severn...One of which hit Rynogoff by accident while he tried to gore Halifax.. causing him to fall back into the surf headfirst and float away dazed.. and then the carp- like sangurian  also dived in to try to save the sangurian but he couldn't swim very well in the surf.. So  while Halifax's limbs came off and struck Severn right in the head, causing him to fall back into the mysterious crowds that surrounded him...and though the crowds seemed stunned, none of them much made a sound other than 'uhhhh'... 

Speedster wanted to intervene, but Gazlennia tried to warn him.. "I have a bad feeling you should stay away from those crowds.. I mean, what if some of them try to bite you? They look kind of hungry."
"Nonsense, " speedster said.. "I don't think those are zombies.. because zombies probably would have like ate each other already."
"But then who are they", Gazlennia said.
"Beats the hell out of me", Speedster, "But if any of them eat Halifax's flying limbs I'm going postal".
Hornball then approached the shore, and charged at Halifax, almost goring him in the process, but Halifax managed to duck out of the way and kicked him with one of his feet.. and though Halifax landed in a heap of limbs, Severn was very much dazed, and tried to dogpile all the limbs..but the limbs floated off and all hit Severn at once.. causing Severn to yelp in pain and pass out. And though Hornball landed in the group of grey people, not one of them tried to help him as with Halifax's head, Halifax managed to knock out Hornball.

As the grey people left, and the two lesser sangurians decided it was better to swim out to sea , Halifax managed to put himself together as the sangurians left to regroup and rethink their strategy, and often, Speedster still didn't know who all those grey people were.. and as for Gazlennia, she felt someday she'd have to go investigate some of them in the weeks to come.. especially since Carolina had known them, a whole group of them. 

Because even if they weren't zombies, apparently.. they sure were scary. Even if Carolina did know them from somewhere.. And Gazlennia might wonder indeed , during the years Carolina spent in Xerxes, how many people did she know over the years she was there.. who might also have a grudge someday? 

As for Casey, he managed to get some more of his stuff put in his room that somehow got disheveled by mysterious forces some days while he wasn't there. , and as he stared out into the seas at night, and somehow wondered as he looked outside at times, while the surf pounded on the shore.. 

"Is it me or does Halifax have a lot of enemies out there, that even i don't know about? And If i ever go back to earth.. Why do i get the feeling I'm not gonna like it there? "
