I realize that the title is getting old, but that's what it is. Here's part two of my story chain.

They were an odd group. There were about five or six of every sentient species on Oddworld. These, however, were different. They had established a hidden wildlife preserve that had many things, from Scrabs to Fleeches. There was one animal that they could not keep. The name used was Horrilizard, but everyone called them Demon Lizards. They came in all shapes and sizes, but only two possible colors: red and black. They also only had two eye colors: red and blue. Managing the preserve was tricky. The Glukkons, Sligs, and Vykkers all led undercover lives. They would act like any industrial member of their species, but as soon as their workday was through, they suddenly went from industrialists to environmentalists. They always felt horrible when they had to slaughter an animal for whatever company they "worked" in. But, for every animal they had to kill, they saved ten by earning money for food. Aside from money, they did this for knowledge. But one day, a wandering Slig stumbled upon the preserve. He ran to tell his boss, who spread the word. Soon, every industry knew, and they weren't happy about it. The team, however, was nonviolent. They never fought back, until, after a particularly nasty Flying Slig attack, they realized that they needed a guard. The Sligs had guns, but were afraid to fight because of their naturally submissive nature that was shared by all Sligs. Without a leader, they became cowardly and insecure. Sligs, though submissive, were extremely adaptable. One of the Vykkers suggested creating a hybrid Slig. One of the few types of animals that they had left was Royalsea, a whale-like aquatic mammal that worked well in a school as well as alone. They didn't like the idea of violence, but they had no choice.

Oops. I'm out of time. I'll post again as soon as I can. Feel free to reply at any time you wish.
