Beyond The Tribe - alternative and parallel stories by the fans


SERIES 3

Episode I

Several months had passed, and CK and KT had heard nothing about Zootcrazy. They had searched everyday, asked everyone they had met. They would scout around wastelands of other tribes and see if they could spot Zootcrazy but nothing, and CK was losing touch on reality.
One night KT and CK were in the cave, still in a tip. There was silence; KT just looked a picture of her parents and CK just thought about Zootcrazy.
“I know who you are looking for and where she is,” said a voice from the opening in the cave.
CK turned round and looked at the figure “WHERE IS SHE!!!” shouted CK and he went towards the figure, “TELL ME NOW!!!”
“Hold on,” said the figure. “Calm down.”
CK grabbed the figure and pulled him into the light, “Loco??”
“Yes it’s me,” said Loco. “She needs your help. This’ll only work if you hear what I have to say.”
“How is she??” asked KT.
“She is fine. She was sold to the Locusts by the Nomads a few days ago. The only thing is Zoot is taking an interest in her.”
“How will we get her back?” asked CK.
Loco replied, “I have a plan…” They started to discuss the plan.
“How do we know that we can trust you? You killed Gameface, you hit me,” asked CK.
“Do you want to see Zootcrazy again before she wants to stay as a Locust?” said Loco. “We could easily enough forget that we ever met.”
“Of course I wanna see her again. What do you think I am?” said CK “We have been best friends for as long as I can remember-"
“Hey, HEY!!!” shouted KT. “Lets keep calm here, this won’t help Zootcrazy.”
“I’ll get back to the camp and I’ll met you again soon and we’ll put the plan into action,” said Loco as he left.


Episode II

“How do we know that we can trust you? You killed Gameface, you hit me?” asked CK.
“Do you want to see Zootcrazy again before she wants to stay as a Locust?” said Loco. “We could easily enough forget that we ever met.”
“Of course I wanna see her again. What do you think I am?” said CK. “We have been best friends for as long as I can remember-“
“Hey, HEY!!!” shouted KT. “Lets keep calm here, this won’t help Zootcrazy.”
“I’ll get back to the camp and I’ll met you again soon and we’ll put the plan into action.” said Loco as he left.

Over the next few days Loco met up with KT and CK. They discussed their plan, but meanwhile Zootcrazy was on the wastelands with Zoot…
“How’s it been going?” asked Zootcrazy.
“Fine, Ebony believes that I’m making you do slave work,” said Zoot.
“But what if she comes?” asked Zootcrazy.
“Well then you are keeping an eye out for strays while I’m eating,” replied Zoot. “She’ll never find out.”
“Thanks for the picnic, Zoot,” said Zootcrazy. “Why did you pick me when the Nomads where selling me?”
“Well” said Zoot, “Me and Ebony weren’t getting along very well, so I wanted to make her jealous. You were there at the slave market and I thought that a girl would make her jealous. So I picked you. I had to be tough on you at first, now…”
“Now what?” asked Zootcrazy.
“I think I’m in love with you,” said Zoot.
“Same here,” said Zootcrazy as her and Zoot kissed.
The night came, and Zoot and Zootcrazy were back on the wastelands. The Locos were shouting and mucking around. Loco looked round and crept away into the darkness of the nearby woods…


Episode III

“Loco, what are you doing? You're not meant to be here,” said KT as Loco entered the cave.
“I know, but the plan has to be changed. I've seen something that changes everything!” Loco replied worried.
“What? What’s happened? Is Zootcrazy ok?” asked CK panicking.
“CK, calm down. Loco tell us what you have seen,” said KT.
“Ok,” said Loco as he sat down, “I was walking back from our last meeting and Zootcrazy and Zoot were sitting down on Greendale, the nearest field-“
“So what’s wrong with that? Zoot might have made her,” said CK.
“Let him finish CK,” said KT trying to keep everyone calm.
“Thanks KT,” said Loco. “On this picnic, they were laughing and talking, I watched them for about half hour. But just as I thought nothing of it and walked away I heard something I was hoping I’d never hear the leader of the Locos saying.”
“What?” said CK, “Tell me.” CK stood up and started pacing up and down. “Something’s gonna happen to her.”
“CK, calm down,” said KT. “We will find out away to solve this no matter what.”
“He said 'I love you', she said the same,” said Loco.
“What?” shouted CK.
“No, you must have that wrong Loco,” said KT.
“I not wrong because they said that and then kissed. They are in love with each other!” shouted Loco.
“What are we gonna do now?” asked CK in shock and panic.
“Go ahead with the plan tomorrow,” said Loco.
“We can’t,” said KT. “We are not ready.”
“Ok then, Saturday,” said CK. “Tomorrow we get everything ready, we then go ahead Saturday evening. Loco can you be ready on time?”
“Defiantly” said Loco.
“Then you better get back before they wonder where you are,” said KT.
Loco left the cave, quickly and quietly, while CK and KT started getting ready.


Episode IV

“Ready?” said CK.
“Sure thing,” said KT.
Saturday had come; CK and KT were about to leave, with rucksacks full to the brim, all to start the plan process. They left the cave and headed to ward the wastelands.
“ZOOT!!” shouted Ebony, “ZOOT!!” She sat on the top of the car. The other Locusts joined in.
KT and CK arrived at the wastelands. “What are they doing?” asked KT.
“Well from here, it looks as if the are shouting Zoot,” said CK sarcastically.
“I know that,” said KT, “But why?”
“You don’t think...” said CK.
“Let hope not,” said KT as they carried on watching through the day.

Night was dawning upon them. “Lets put this plan into action,” said CK as he pulled out an inflatable from his backpack and started blowing it up. “I knew living in a novelty shop would come in useful,” he said as he took a big breath.
“What are we going to shout? We can’t shout 'Zoot',” said KT.
“I know, get ready for phase 2,” said CK.
KT left CK and started running to the other side of the wastelands. CK reached into his bag and got out a walkie-talkie. “KT, are you there?” asked CK. He got no response. He tried again and again until he got an answer.
“Yeah, I’m here,” said KT through the walkie-talkie.
“ Are you ready for the show down?” asked CK.
“Sure thing Plan: RZC starts in 10…9…8” KT said as she continued counting down, “2...1”
CK put the walkie-talkie back into his bag. “HEY!” shouted CK, “EBONY!!! COME OVER HERE!!” CK started running but he dropped his walkie-talkie onto the ground in a ditch.
“Ebony,” said Loco. “Someone over there in the woods is calling you.”
“What are you lot waiting for,” shouted Ebony, “It could be him! Loco, Slave and Daniel stay here with me. The rest of you go!”
The Locos ran toward the woods. “Daniel, You still with me?” asked Loco.
“Yeah as long as I’m in this tribe,” said Daniel.
“Thanks mate,” said Loco.
“If anything goes wro-“
“I know, you have nothing to do with it”


Episode V

“CK, CK are u there?” asked KT through the walkie-talkie.
Locos arrived through some bushes to find CK’s planted inflatable. “What?!?” said one Loco.
“I don’t believe it,” said another. “We'd better go back and tell Ebony."
“CK, where are you?” the walkie-talkie blared out.
“Hang on guys,” said a Loco, “Did you hear that?”
“It came from over here.”
“Look here,” said one Loco as he found the walkie-talkie. “Someone’s settin’ us up!”
Back at the police car the Locos rushed to Ebony. “Well, was it Zoot?” asked Ebony.
“No,” said a Locust.
“Who was it then?” Ebony demand. A Loco showed the inflatable. “What, it was a blow up doll?!”
“But we did find a walkie-talkie, Ebony.” The Locos gave the walkie-talkie to Ebony. She looked at it and then the walkie-talkie burst out with “CK, where are you??”
“DAMN!!!” shouted Ebony, “It the slave's friend.” Ebony went over to Zootcrazy and grabbed her, “What do you know about this?” Ebony demanded.
“Nothing, they don’t even know I’m here. All they know is that the Nomads took me!!” replied Zootcrazy.
“Well,” Ebony said, “Your friends aren’t getting away with this!!” Ebony went onto the bonnet of the car, “Locos, Search the wastelands!!” The Locos split up into small groups and went towards the edge of the wastelands.

“KT!!” said CK.
“Why haven’t you responded to me over the walkie-talkie?” Kt asked.
“What??” ck said as he reached for the walkie-talkie. “It’s gone” ck said in shock.
“The Locos might have it,” Kt said in shock.
“Just get ready for phase 2” ck said. Kt started getting things out of her rucksack and so did ck…


Episode VI

Minutes later, Kt noticed some Locos approaching. “Ck, they're here” she whispered.
“Let’s go!!” said Ck and he ran through the bushes. “Come on then Locos!!” he shouted. Kt followed shortly.
Kt crept up behind a Loco, tapped him on the shoulder. As the Loco turned round she punched him in the face. “The fight has begun,” she said and the Locos realised they were being attacked.
Ck was armed with a baseball bat and Kt with tricks up her sleeves. They went into battle.

“Daniel, you still with me?” asked Loco.
“Why?” asked Daniel.
“We gotta help them in this battle!” said Loco.
“No,” said Daniel, “This plan has all gone wrong and I said I won’t help if it did.”
“Ok, see you around sometime, friend,” said Loco as he went charging into battle.
Punches were flying. People were kicking. There were screams of pain and anger. The Locos were too strong and there were too many for ck and Kt have a chance, but they were giving it they had.
“Send t1” shouted Ck as he got punched. He then got up and swung his baseball bat at the Loco. It hit the Loco on his chest and he went down.
Kt went behind a tree and out of her back got a bottle of fizzy water. “What are you going to do?” said a Loco, “Give us a drink!!”
“No” replied Kt as she shuck the bottle up and opened the cap. The water sprayed everywhere and the Loco went back to get out of the force of the water.
“HOLD IT” shouted Ebony. The Loco stopped and Ebony walked through with Zootcrazy at knife point, “Ck, give it up. Or she gets it!”
Ck said gasping, “What?”
“You heard, you’ve lost!” shouted Ebony. “One more move and she gets it. Locos grab them!”
Ck looked at Zootcrazy and she looked back, giving a wink. “Never!!” shouted Ck.
Zootcrazy elbowed Ebony it the chest, and she went down, “Now lets fight,” shouted Zootcrazy.


Episode VII

Once again everyone was locked in battle. Ck was fighting 5 locos at once and they were having a field day. Suddenly Loco whacked a plank of wood over one of them. The Locos looked puzzled. “Take Ebony hostage!” Loco said.
One of the Locos the grabbed Loco and got his penknife. “See you in hell,” said the Locust before stabbing Loco. He fell to the floor dead.
Everyone was still fighting, even Ebony was throwing punches. Ck saw Ebony’s knife still on the floor as he was fighting a Loco. Kt fell down to the floor as she screamed in pain. “We must end this now,” said ck as he picked up the knife and went towards Ebony.
“Ck? Ck what are you doing” asked Zootcrazy as she noticed what he was doing, She then went back into fight, blocking a Loco's move.
He grabbed Ebony and put the knife to her throat. “Everyone stop!” shouted Ck, “Or Ebony gets it” Suddenly everyone stopped fighting a looked at ck.
“Go on-kill me, cause if you think that I’ll beg you to save my life, you're wrong ck!!” said Ebony.
“But I wonder if you warriors think that Ebony!” Ck shouted, “Now, Locos Zootcrazy and Kt are now going to tie you to a several trees, then we leave with Ebony and when we are far enough a way we tie her up so you have to search for her!!”
Ck's plan went into action; Kt, Zootcrazy and Ck were in pain and now just wanted to leave, but they tied everyone up. “Make sure they can get untied,” said Kt, “We don’t want to kill them of starvation and thirst.”
After everyone had been tied, Kt, Zootcrazy and Ck still holding Ebony at knifepoint, left going into the forest…


Episode VIII

Later on, they came to the edge of the forest. Ebony had been tied up and the trio were catching their breath. “Now you leave me here, tied to this tree?” said Ebony.
“Pretty much so yes” said Ck.
“What do you mean pretty much so?” asked Ebony.
“We mean this,” said Zootcrazy. The trio got their revenge, dressing Ebony up like a clown - baggy trousers, clown make up and a big red nose.
“Revenge is sweet,” said Kt as they left Ebony tied to a tree looking like a clown.
“You won’t get away with this,” shouted Ebony.
Ck turned round and shouted, “It looks like we have. BYE EBONY THE CLOWN!!”

It has reached nightfall and the trio were in the cave. “We can’t stay here,” said Ck.
“I know but where are we going to go?” asked Kt.
“Leave the sector,” replied Ck.
“What?? No way are we are leaving the sector,” said Kt and Zootcrazy together.
“Well what else we going to do?” said Ck, “Loco after us, probably the Nomads and several other tribes. Not to mention what Zoot will do when he finds out about what we have done.”
“Zoot will never know,” said Zootcrazy saddened.
“What?? Zootcrazy,”
“Zoot’s dead,” Zootcrazy said.
“What? Tell us all about it” said Ck.
“Well he, went to visit his daughter, they live in a mall. Apparently one pushed him off the balcony, and he died” said Zootcrazy.
“How do you know this?” asked Kt, “cause Ebony didn’t.”
“One of their tribe came and told me it was part of the deal."


Episode IX

It all started when I was at the slave market, Zoot and Ebony arrived.
“Hi quaver,” said Zoot, “What talent you got for us?”
“Not much this week Zoot” replied Quaver as he approached Zoot, “just a couple of girls.”
We were sent out and Zoot recognised me and picked me. I was made to run make to the wastelands that night all that I could hear was Zoot and Ebony fighting.
“How could you let him go, Ebony” shouted Zoot.
“I didn’t mean to he just legged it” Ebony replied.
“That is the worst excuse I have heard” Zoot shouted back.
“I’m sorry-“
“Are you?” said Zoot “lets see. Get in there.”
“For how long?” asked Ebony.
“As long as it takes,” replied Zoot as this door slammed shut on Ebony.
Me and Zoot got close and I because his personal slave and we would leave the waste land.
“How’s it been going?” asked Zootcrazy.
“Fine, Ebony believes that I’m making you do slave work” said Zoot.
“But what if she comes?” asked Zootcrazy.
“Well then you are keeping an eye out for strays while I’m eating,” replied Zoot, “she’ll never find out”
“Thanks for the picnic, Zoot” Said Zootcrazy, “Why did you pick me when the Nomads where selling me?”
“Well” said Zoot, “Me and Ebony weren’t getting along very well, so I wanted to make her jealous. You were there at the slave market and I thought that girl would make her jealous. So I picked you. I had to be tough on you at first, now….”
“Now what?” Asked Zootcrazy.
“I think I’m in love with you,” said Zoot.
“Same here” said Zootcrazy as her and Zoot kissed.
Then he saw his brother one day and I found out that Zoot had a daughter and he was going to visit her. Days went by and I wondered the wastelands, I saw a boy crossing and I went up to him….
“Who are you?” asked Zootcrazy. The boy signed his name. “Paul, it that your name, what are you doing wondering the wastelands the locos will get you…”
He signed his story to me how he was with the mall rats and this bloke, Lex kept on having a go at him. So he ran away leaving everything, his friends and sister. I was amazed but he then told me that the leader of the locos had come to the mall and fell. He was dead. I couldn’t believe it…. A few days later we are dressing ebony up as a clown and here we are…


Episode X

The next morning the trio were getting ready for the day that would change their lives. Leaving the way of life they had gotten used to.
“Are you ready?” asked ck to Kt.
“Just about, this had been my home since the virus and now to leave it, to see it like this. It’s just-“
“I know,” said ck.
“One thing we need to sort out” said Zootcrazy.
“What??” Kt and ck said together.
“Our name, like our tribe” she said.
“How about Travellers” said ck.
“No! What about ‘vortex’” said Kt.
“That’s a brilliant name,” said Zootcrazy.
“Ok that’s our name ‘Vortex’"
Several hours later and the three were all ready to leave. “One thing before we go” said Kt, “I wanna set the cave on fire”
“What!?!” said Zootcrazy.
“It’ll be a sign of saying I’m moving on…”
“It’s up to you,” said ck.
“Stay there” said Kt as she went to the end of the cave. She came back with a petrol can. She opened the cap and started pouring it over the cave. She got out a match and lit it. “Good bye cave,” Kt said. She threw the match into the cave. Suddenly the cave went up into flames.
“Hang on” said Ck, “where is the rest of that petrol, in that can”
“In the cave” replied Kt, “I think”
“What!?!” shouted Zootcrazy, “ I think it’s time to run”
“Why?” asked Kt.
“When one of them flames hit the petrol in the can it’s gonna explode!!!”
The petrol suddenly exploded. “DUCK!!!” The cave went up and flame burst out. “HEELLPP!!!!”“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”


Episode XI

“Ha ha ha ha!” said Heather, “that’s a good one Josh!” Heather got up and went toward the campfire. She wore all white and had the tribe colours make-up, silver with red arrows, “xamberx get the sausages ready.”
“Ok, Heather,” said xamberx dressed in all oriental clothes. “Orca, put the sausages on the fire. Helena said she’d redo my hair.” She went into a nearby tent.
Orca stood up, “it’s always me” she said as she went to get the sausages.
“Helena” said xamberx as she entered.
“Yes, I am here,” said Helena peacefully.
“Well you said you would do my hair,” said xamberx.
“Yes I did say that,” she said as she got up from sitting on the floor, “Take a seat.”
“Ok” said xamberx as she sat on the floor.
“How about we go for a new style?” asked Helena.
“Sure whatever you think is best,” Xamberx replied.
Helena started getting things ready and went towards xamberx.
“While your doing my hair will you tell my about the future?” Xamberx asked, “You know your dreams of the future.”
“Sure” Helena said and she sat behind Xamberx and started brushing her hair.

Episode XII

Helena began, “In the dreams I have are in great code and I believe they are visions of the future...
There will be a small group of people arriving in the sector brings peace after the have been in a great adventure of hopes and power beyond there dreams, the have been in fights with the locos and their power struggle is not over yet.
This group will hold the Sacred one who will bring peace but that peace will be rejected through a fight for power. Their hopes for a new beginning will be shattered, as we the sector rulers will be scared of this hope.
As we continue our power struggle, they will fight for peace, for the chance to be who they want to be and have equal rights. They will have a few days before one of our beloved leaders takes the future into her hand and starts preparing for the battle that mean there will never be peace in this sector again. Everyone will be too frightened to believe what he or she wants to.
The power struggle will take place on the eve of a full moon and the witching hour will see a lot of pain and sorrow caused. This will not be civil. It’ll be a war! The war will last under 48 hours, and cause the sacred one more pain than anyone, and this person will lose all hope and go into a disbelief of what they see. the sacred one will lose more, he will lose his LIFE.”


Episode XIII

“Do you think this is true? Who will kill this sacred one?” asked Xamberx shocked as what she had just heard.
“I think all my dreams come true one way or another” Helena said, “I do not know who will kill the sacred one but it is ONE OF US!” she said carefully and peacefully.
Suddenly the tent zip was undone and Orca popped her head in, “The sausages are done come and get them before they all go.”
“We’ll be there in a min, I’ll just finish her hair” said Helena.
“Ok” said Orca as she left the tent.
A few minutes later Xamberx’s hair was done. “What do you think?” Helena asked she grabbed a mirror to show xamberx.
Xamberx looked at her hair, and her expression went from happy to shocked... “Wow that is a different” she said shocked. Her hair was in a bun and had gold and silver looking spikes coming out like a fan from it. Her fringe had been done with the same fan design.
“I said a change,” said Helena.
“I know you did.” Xamberx replied, “It just I’m used to the shoulder length with just gold streaks. It’s just the shock of having something different.”
“Ok Now for the food” said Helena as she helped xamberx from the floor and then the head out of the tent...
The boys in the tribe started whistling at xamberx when she walked out of the tent toward the campfire. “They like it” said Helena and both Helena and xamberx laughed...
“Hey nice hair xamberx” said Heather. “Helena you’ll have to do mine one day!”
Heather got up and fetched both Helena and xamberx a sausage... “Tuck in.”


Episode XIV

A wanderer came back to came, his name was Aria, and he wore plain clothes and had no special hair duo. “Leaders,” Aria said panicked.
“What? What is it?” said Heather and the 3 leaders got up. They were Heather, Orca, and xamberx.
“I knew something was wrong,” said Helena, she took role as an adviser.
Aria continued, “By xaviorty gauge, that water fall, there was an explosion by it...”
“Was anyone there?” Orca asked.
“That’s the thing,” Aria said, “if there was there ain’t now. The story is that a trio lived there and they were going to leave the sector...”
“We better go it to the office” said xamberx. They started walking away.
“Helena, you better come too,” said Heather.
They went into a big tent and the far end of the campsite. Inside there was an old half burnt table with several chairs around it. In one corner there was a box saying emergency supply.
“Take a seat Aria,” said Orca. Everyone sat down around the table.
“Now Aria have you anymore information on these three?” asked xamberx.
“I have spent all day finding out about them” he replied.
“Please tell all...” asked Orca


Episode XV

“Well, the trio have been through a lot. It started of with a boy and a girl the boy was taken prisoner. The girl went in search of him finding a traitor and a guy who was stabbed on the rescue mission. It turns out that the one captured managed to escape the locos himself, as he knew Ebony before hand. He and Ebony were friends before he got sent to a boarding school...
The guy who was stabbed was given a warrior funeral and his last words told everyone that the girl stabbed was this traitor. This entire time the two girl fought lead to locos getting closer and closer to trying to recapture them... Are you still with me?” asked Aria.
“Just about” said Helena.
“Yes I am is there anymore??” Orca asked.
“Anymore, there is a load... Two, a boy and girl that I started this with tried to escape the locos and ended up at a cliff... The only way out to jump. They both wouldn’t have survived, except this girl making the trio rescued them from the ice-cold water.
Then disaster - Nomads... They took off with everything including one of the trio. This girl was sold to the locos where she found love, with the leader of the locos Zoot... Her rescue plan went into disaster with another killing. But they did regain their member, Leaving Ebony tied up as a clown...
With being on every tribe’s hate list they decided to leave. But they wanted to leave the cave burnt to the ground and a sign of forgetting the past but the petrol can was left in the cave half full and it exploded... What has happened to them we don’t know...”
“Sounds like a tough bunch,” said Orca.
“I think if we let them live in our sector, we would make a grave mistake,” said Heather...
“Unless they join us,” said xamberx, “other than that I agree with Heather”.
“A grave mistake, our sector...” said Helena. “We don’t own the sector. We could make a mistake; we could cause more suffering, if this goes by what my dreams tell me. One of them could be the one.”
Orca got up from her sit in anger, “they are just dreams! They don’t mean a thing Helena.”
