The webcam hovers in front of the Phantoms. At that moment, a long, red horizontal line, not unlike a bar code scanner, sweeps over the entirety of the group. Several members cringe as the light passes over them, as if they were expecting something painful. "Intriguing." The voice mutters. "Jou have appeared to have developed the pack mentality." It remarks. "Jou are very unified in jour opinions. Zat muzt mean zis person is not vorth my time."
"How exactly does any of this factor into anyone's time?" DragonCamo ponders aloud.
"JOU VILL BE SILENT!" The voice commands. "I can assure jou zat zis is all factoring in to somezing very grand. Jes. Grand for me." It assures. "Ehh... maybe not so grand for jou. But jou are not important. Jou are but insignificant masses of particles in zis big univerze. Ahh ahhhh ahhhhh." The voice boasts.
"Real big talk coming from a glorified pricing machine." CommanderGame chuckles.
"Hey, hey, vhat is vit ze no silenze? Did I not say I vanted silenze?" The voice retorts, clearly hurt. "Vhy are zey not listening. I zought I made it clear vit ze hall 'jour lives are at stake' business, but noooooooo, zey just inzult me." The voice converses with itself, much to the confusion of the Phantoms.
"So, are you going to tell us which person you 'no longer have a use for?'" HDAZ stammers, finally mustering up the courage to speak.
"Jes, jes, I vas juzt getting to zat. But jou had the interrupting." The voice scolded. "Now zen... vhere is ze vone called DummyZ?" The voice calls out. DummyZ looks immediately grief stricken. He turns to his teammates with a look of shock and teary eyes. "Jour muzzer called jour phone. She vants you to pick up jour starched undervear from ze cleaners." This causes the entire group to burst into laughter as DummyZ's face turns a bright shade of red. "Jes, now to send off ze person I'm not needing." The voice continues. "CRYZTALHERO!" Crystalhero's eyes immediately widen.
"Y-Yes?" She stammers. An awkward silence ensues. "W-Well, what is it?!"
"I... I vas trying to zink of somezing vitty to say before I cast jou off into the depths of the univerze... but I got nozing." The voice admits. "So goodbye." The webcam's lens flashes red and Crystalhero is launched from the output. She screams as she's sent hurdling into the emptiness of outer space. The other Phantoms watch in shock. "Vell," The voice pipes up, "Zat vas fun, vasn't it? Now, ve have further work to do!" And the webcam hits the Phantoms with another beam...

Play & Repeat
The bright flash of light deposits the Phantoms in a courtyard lying in the middle of a brightly lit city. There they find that the Specters are already waiting for them, lounging about on a few benches or in the shade of an alien tree. Bravo looks toward the Phantoms. "So, you got rid of that deadweight, Crystalhero? Can't say I disagree with that move." He sneers.
"Yo, 'G, dat's a bit harsh, don'cha think?" Mrmorrises confesses with a stern, disapproving look.
"Yeah, how could you say that. That's awful!" Sparxis protests.
"Pft... big whoop. We're fighting for our lives here." Bravo snorts derisively. "One person gone means better odds for me."
"Gee, that makes me sound so grateful to be on your team." somePerson states in deadpan monotone.
"Ahhh ahhhhh ahhh! Very good, jou all made it." The Slavic voice interjects, drawing everyone's attention. A large television screen, with speakers on either side, hovers down in front of them. The screen shows an emblem of green fire, similar to the one on the UFO. "Now ve can continue vit zis grand test of mine."
"Don't you think we deserve to know something about what's going on here?" Parisruelz pleads, with large puppy-dog eyes.
"Of course not. Jou are ze hostages. And I am jour kidnapper." The voice casually dismisses the plea. "Jou have no power in zis situazion. So I vould suggest you simply bear your grins!"
"Uh, the phrase is 'grin and bear it.'" Underian corrects with an eyeroll.
"I KNOW VHAT I AM SAYING!" The voice angrily protests. "The great Antastom vill not be made a fool of!" It proclaims. Several seconds of silence pass before the voice suddenly speaks up, "Oh dear... I am not supposing jou could just forget ze part vhen I mentioned my name just now, could you?"
"Of course..." BrutalBash states with a grin.
"Vonderful!" Antastom proclaims.
"...Not." BrutalBash smugly continues.
"Grr... jou vill all regret zis. My next test vill break you like... like... like a zing vhich breaks easily zat I cannot zink of right now." Antastom weakly threatens. "So enjoy... ahhh ahhhh ahhhh!"

crystalhero37 (Eliminated night 1)
It is now Day 2!
Today's game mode is... Categories!
You will be given a category. As a team, you will then come up with a list of five things that fit into that category and PM it to me. Try to use the subject line "Day 2, [category name]." When I have both teams' lists, I will then compare them. Your goal is to come up with items that fit the category that the other team doesn't have. If an item is on both lists, it gets crossed off. The team with the most items not crossed off their list will get a point. First to 5 will win!
Example:
If I said the category is FRUIT, a list could be apple, banana, orange, pear, and grape.
We'll start tomorrow!
