Prologue: Deep in the Woods
Deep in the Everfree Forest was a brown rabbit grazing on a patch of grass. it stops for a brief moment to look to its left, it thought it heard movement in the bushes just a few yards away. After a few seconds it turned its head back to the patch of grass to continue its meal. Just then it thought it heard another sound in the same direction following it's instincts it runs for its life. Just as the rabbit dashes away, out of the bushes fly's out a Manticore, using its wings to increase its speed the manticore chases the rabbit with a hungry look on its face. The rabbit runs faster than it ever had before fear and adrenaline fueling its muscles not daring to look back, the manticore motivated by hunger continues to chase its meal.
The rabbit ran through low branches, bushes and leapt over rocks anything to put more distance between itself and the manticore. The rabbit accidentally runs into a clearing in the forest it was dark with only the moon giving it light to see, knowing it can't run forever the desperate rabbit runs to hide in the bushes at the center of the clearing. When the manticore reached the clearing it stopped dead in its tracks the rabbit watches in fear. The manticore looks around the clearing then with a worried look on its face it walks away as if it decided that the rabbit was not worth it. Exhausted the rabbit walks out of the bushes and into the clearing. It just realized now that it was in a part of the forest it has never been before completely unaware of the new predator that is quietly levitating towards it.
With its single red eye the new creature sees the rabbit along with the entire environment in red. Like a camera the creature zooms in on the rabbit, the rabbit flashes in its sight with the texts "SPECIMEN TARGETED" appearing over its prey's head. The Rabbit seeing a shadow over it in the moon light turns around to see a shiny orb with a red eye open up. Terrified it tried to flee but before it could move the rabbit was in the cold metal grip of the orb's tentacle. As the orb is bringing the rabbit inside its opening as if to eating it, the rabbit is desperately trying to escape only to fail and the last thing the rabbit sees is what little moon light disappears as the orb's opening closes with it inside. With the rabbit inside it the orb is the only thing left in the clearing and with a electronic sounding voice it says:
"SPECIMEN ACQUIRED, RETURNING TO BASE"
