1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) Well, it was very exciting, it was. We all went on a boat and got to watch a video of Mister Zack. Then we had a tour of the island in the Jeeps. It was lush. When we got back, I was excited to see that [REDACTED] was there. I think it was a lovely idea by the Dungeon Master to have us meet her at the start of the new campaign. It was a bit mean when Coco decided to [REDACTED] me, though. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? Probably the part where I knocked [REDACTED] into the [REDACTED]. Oh, and when Chevy and I found a box full of seashells! 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? Accommodations? They were alright, I suppose. They should have got rid of the giant rats and snakes before we got there, though. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Well, seeing as I won it, I think I did alright, really. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Chevy was a lovely mentor! She helped me learn how to fish, and she helped save us all from [REDACTED]. And she's not afraid of giant rats, either! 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? Well, I think it was sooo scary when I found the giant rats in the beach house. I opened the curtain, and there they were, tearing up all of the linens and hoarding the Zack Coins for themselves! Oh, and fighting [REDACTED] was a bit scary, too. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. I didn't notice any of them measuring anything. Why? Do you think I was too short to go on the trip? I'm forty-seven in human years, you know. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? I don't know what that means, really. Winn's the one who's supposed to take care of me, and he did his best, he did. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? Do you mean the earthquakes and the lava? That was [REDACTED]. Everybody knows it. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? Ooh! Definitely! Can we go on another one next week?

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) Oh, you mean when my dream vacation was commandeered by the [REDACTED] your health and safety boffins [REDACTED] to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] on me [REDACTED] [REDACTED]? I mean the [REDACTED] ones. Obviously, they [REDACTED] my [REDACTED]. It was all a big joyful blur until [REDACTED] showed up and blew up our [CENSORED] boat. I'd rather not relive it any deeper than that, thanks. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? Probably getting to do keijo at the pool. You know, when we were still in the denial phase about what was going on. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? Four stars out of five. One star for the dining experience, though. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? It was rubbish. Rox and I should have won. We were just obviously both dealing with a lot of [REDACTED] [REDACTED] because of the whole being [REDACTED] on a deserted island behind a [REDACTED] [REDACTED] of [REDACTED] thing. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Rox and I were great together. Her keijo skills are ace. Oh, and she and I [CENSORED] that giant [REDACTED] right up. 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? L - O - L. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. Maybe not [REDACTED] the location of your next tournament to a [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [CENSORED] would have been a reasonable measure. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? Well, obviously they didn't pack enough factor fifty. And Steve shouldn't have been working on a [REDACTED] without proper [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? I don't remember the bloke's name. 'Doctor Scientist' or something. I think he was way more responsible than [REDACTED]. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? I'd rather eat a bunny. How do you lot keep [CENSORED] this sort of thing up so badly, anyway?

Q1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) A1. We all set off for a day on an island. I got all my [CENSORED] prepared, like booze and crisps, so we wouldn't go thirsty or hungry. I was well up for the trip. It sounded like a right laugh and I was looking forward to spending the day with my lass, my friends and the rest of the crowd. I didn't think we'd get stuck there for a week or whatever though. If I'd known, I'd have brought along more booze and clothes. Especially underpants, like. Anyway, we get there and who should have tagged along but [CENSORED] [REDACTED]? I mean, Jesus. Of all the people to show up and spoil the party. I don't think anyone was happy to see [REDACTED] other than Tanwen, but even she was over it by the end. Q2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? A2 You're really pushing me here. I mean, a lot of it was a [CENSORED] nightmare. I suppose the beaches were alright though, if you ignored the ring of [REDACTED]. It was grand getting to go to Zack's party pad too, and seeing John Doe there was a lovely surprise, so it was. I'd been wondering what happened to him after he went to that women's prison. Q3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? A3. I've stayed in worse. There was this time Jimmy, Mikey and me went to an all-nighter in Dublin and stayed at a friend of a friends. [CENSORED], that place was filthy. They had a dead hamster in a cage on top of their fridge and the mucky mark in the bath tub looked like it'd been there since Moses was a young fella. Q4.How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? A4. I did alright. I felt like me and Hollywood had a bit of an easy ride skipping two rounds to get to the semi-final. I'd have preferred to make it there on our own merit. Sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles though, and if we hadn't have done so well before that, we wouldn't have got the bye. I had a right laugh fighting Bucky Boy and Max in the radio station and then the final itself was [CENSORED] mental. I mean, you've seen the footage, there was an actual [REDACTED] there. I'm still not sure how we [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. Q5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? A5. It was grand, so it was. Henry is a lovely young lad. I thought he might be a bit stuck-up at first, being used to the Hollywood lifestyle and all, but he got on with it like the rest of us. Fair play to him. Q6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? A6. There was a big [CENSORED] off snake in the cottages that I had to scare the [CENSORED] out of with my fire. In the jungle some [REDACTED] [CENSORED] spit something in my eye and it all swelled up. When we got to the volcano, Chevy almost [REDACTED] me but then I found out she was just the warm up act for the main attraction. I swear [REDACTED] wanted to [REDACTED] us all, [REDACTED] was all crazed and [REDACTED]. Thank [CENSORED] Tanwen [REDACTED]ed her. [REDACTED]'s hopefully gone for good now. Q7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. A7. You tell me. I don't know what the [CENSORED] they're playing at most of the time. I mean, I've been as loyal as I could, but I'm starting to think they like it when things all kick off. Maybe that they're putting us in the way of [REDACTED] on purpose. I wouldn't put it past them to plant [REDACTED] there. That's something to think about, isn't it? Q8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? A8. I think they were all just doing their best to cope, like the rest of us. Tom and Lou were having a bit of a meltdown I think. Steve and that other camera lad from the jungle had a rough old time of it too. Q9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? A9. [REDACTED] and the mad [REDACTED]s. I'm not sure if they were in it together though. I can't imagine [REDACTED] wanting to share the power. Q10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? A10. What exactly do you mean by a growth opportunity? I'm gonna finish the season that I've signed up for, but after that, you can [CENSORED] right off.

Q1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) A1. We set off for what seemed like a wonderful day ahead. I dressed in one of the new swimsuits I'd brought along for my time on the cruise ship and was feeling in the mood for fun and relaxation. When [REDACTED] showed up I thought it was all part of the plot. It soon became apparent that wasn't the case. Q2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? A2. I enjoyed winning the keijo contest after I'd gotten over my nerves about bashing my butt into the boys. I also enjoyed the fighting, though I didn't do as well as I'd hoped against Albert. He's very tough. Q3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? A3. Perfectly pleasant for the most part. I've spent time sleeping outdoors before and it was nice to look up at the stars. Q4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? A4. Very disappointed. I feel like the form I had before the island, in the Odyssey competition, was formidable and I came out of it with a flawless record. I'm not sure why I performed so poorly against Might and Magic. I hope Coco didn't feel too let down by me. Q5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? A5. It was fun while it lasted. Coco is one of the fighters I admire most in the competition and I was grateful to receive her wisdom and guidance. She's always been super sweet to me. Q6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? A6. Yes, against the giant [REDACTED] that [REDACTED] Coco. Also when fighting the science [REDACTED]s who were attracted by ABBA. One of them tried to take a bite out of me. Q7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. A7. I honestly think on reflection that they were as surprised as everyone else to see [REDACTED] there. Why would [REDACTED] be? The whole science situation though is slightly more suspect. Surely they must have checked the place out and realised those things were going on? It's not like an operation such as that can have been set up overnight. Q8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? A8. No, they all seemed to be doing their best to survive like we were. I have every sympathy with them. Q9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? A9. Like I said, I think that the organisers really do have to take responsibility for not checking things out more thoroughly. In the case of [REDACTED], I think [REDACTED] just saw [REDACTED] chance for [REDACTED]. Although...how did [REDACTED] know we were going to be there? Was that publicised beforehand? You don't think someone leaked the information, do you? Q10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? A10. That is a very vague question. Please provide more information before I can offer a response.

Post-RTZI Interview: Sarah

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) *Sarah thinks for a moment before answering.* The arrival on Isla Zaca seemed fairly normal. In fact, I was under the impression that it was going to be a simple promotional thing in an island resort. You know, fighting by day and having fun at night? We had a nice tour of the island on Jeeps, which was a cool touch. However, upon completing the tour, a mysterious [REDACTED] arrived and told us that we were being subjected to trials of some kind. I immediately realized something was not right, and I don't know how to describe it, other than, perhaps, supernatural? *She bites her lip and shrugs.* 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? Well, it wasn't all bad. *Sarah giggles.* There was plenty to see and do. The casino had turntables where I got a chance to put my skills to the test. There were a few dance parties as well. So it wasn't all bad. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? I was expecting better, honestly. I'd rather not say anything else for the time being. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? I may not have done so well in the tournament, but I'm not the least bit discouraged. I've learned where my weaknesses lie and how to improve on them. Winning isn't everything in life, and on the fighting circuit, it's not about winning but improving yourself! 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Rodrigo was amazing. I've never met someone who had such a unique fighting style. First time I've ever seen a matador fighting a human instead of a bull! *Sarah giggles loudly.* 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? Yes, I was in fear for my personal safety. There were several times I was in fear of my safety. For one, the whole thing with that mysterious being had me nervous as anything. Two, Rodrigo and I were [REDACTED] on a [REDACTED] to find supplies in an [REDACTED] hotel, and we were set upon by a strange [REDACTED] that was made of... I don't know. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. I would say they definitely did not take enough measures to ensure my safety. What on earth was going on there? 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? I believe they were negligent, as they should've taken more time to check this place out and make sure it was actually safe! 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? I do not know at this time. While I did witness that mysterious [REDACTED] I mentioned earlier, I do not know who truly was responsible for it. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? As long as it's safe!

Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? -- On the advice of my family's counsel, I have to decline to answer these questions without a lawyer present, as my answers might impact any future litigation related to these events. Thank you. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? -- I was able to develop and try out a few forms of magecraft I'd never used before, and they appear to have worked out. That's the nice thing about pro fighting; it gives you an opportunity to stress test new things pretty easily. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? -- I can tackle both of these questions together. Honestly, Albert blew me away, haha. I think most of our momentum in the tournament came from him, not from me. I think he's got a bright future if he keeps at it, but more importantly, he's also a good solid guy. Thank you for being my teammate, Albert.

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) Got sick on the boat. [REDACTED] [REDACTED] appeared. [REDACTED] sunk our ship and burned the trees. Then introduced [REDACTED]self as [REDACTED]. Folks got mad. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? Pools were nice. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? Bad. No food. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Bad. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Kenzo was great. 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? Yes. And no. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. Yes. No food. Not enough safety or security. No first aid supplies. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? Definitely. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? PFW. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? No.

Post-RTZI Interview: Kenzo

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) I had a mishap when attempting to add a tranquilizer dart gun onto my drone. I didn't find out what happened until I woke up on the island. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? The pool. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? Appearance wise it wasn't awful, but that was because Shock and Roll stayed at the cottage. There was talk about the Gemstone being absolutely hideous. If you want to talk about the cuisine or lack thereof well then we have to downgrade it to awful. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Disappointed. There were moments where I feel as though I failed Ishida-san both as a mentor and a teammate. He shouldered what I would consider an unfair amount of the burden due to my failure to execute. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? He was an excellent partner and he would have been asset to any team he could've theoretically been on. 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? I could do better than that. I have video footage of it kept in multiple locations with either entities I trust or locations where I can release it should anything happen to me. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. Considering having been [REDACTED] by impersonators of an individual who was rumored to be dead, a woman who is a case study in why Bell Biv Devoe's advice to 'never trust a big butt and a smile' is a thing, and put in a situation that's reminiscent of a bad movie adaptation of a horror video game, I'd say that they did not take reasonable measures. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? This is mostly directed at the production staff, who did not scout out the location to make sure that the only fighting that needed to be done was only at sanctioned fighting events, that access to food wasn't just locked behind gachapon, and people who think that we exist to be their [REDACTED] [REDACTED] weren't there. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? Oh. Blame can be laid at the feet of multiple parties. First there's Mr. "Rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated" who trusted Miss "Big butt and a smile" and got put to sleep with a tranq gun for doing so after letting her, Mr. "To Kill a Mockingbird" and everyone else from the off brand [REDACTED] Corporation reside on the island. Plus a lot of the reason our food supply was depleted was because of a psycho with a fiery temper. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? No.

Post-RTZI Interview: Arisa

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) >> Honestly my memory there is a little hazy? There was some explosions, some Jeeps... vague recollection of a villain monologue? I'm sure I imagined that last one. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? >> Uh... I got to hang out on an island wondering where my next [REDACTED] was coming from under constant [REDACTED] from who even knows what. I guess that's technically a highlight? 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? >> Are you seriously asking this question? Like, for real, look me in the eye and tell me you're asking me this question. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? >> Given the ABSURD SITUATION I think I did okay? Obviously I could have done better in a few situations but I think I did pretty well, all things considered. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? >> Well the first one bailed on me entirely and the second one was a jerk to me from the second they opened their mouth so uhhhhhh can't recommend it, to be honest?! 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? >> I wanted to give a sarcastic answer to this but I was afraid some jerk lawyer would say 'see there was no issue' so: YES? ALL THE TIME? We had no real food, no idea if rescue was coming, and OH YEAH, a [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] that threatened to [REDACTED] all of humanity? What the [CENSORED], dude. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. >> Like, do I think they could have predicted [REDACTED] showing up and [REDACTED]ing everyone? No. Do I think all the OTHER garbage with the [REDACTED] and the mad [REDACTED]s and all that nonsense feels like the TINIEST oversight? YEAH KINDA. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? >> [Arisa brings her hands up, fingers and thumb touching, like puppets] "Hey, guys, we're trapped on an island with no food and might [REDACTED]." "Ultra bummer dude." "Yeah so I was thinking, instead of putting our efforts into finding a way home, we should keep doing our fighting tournament." "Oh what a rad idea, all the [REDACTED] will take our minds off the impending [REDACTED]!" 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? >> So many people I have lost count. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? >> Absolutely [CENSORED] not.

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) Are you talkin' about when that unhinged, crazed, PR [REDACTED] showed up uninvited onto an island with [REDACTED] advance security and that [REDACTED] been properly swept for embedded [REDACTED] containing [REDACTED] active parties intent on [REDACTED] us? -- Don't remember. Next question! 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? The [REDACTED] of tryin' to keep a tournament goin' while under constant [REDACTED] from a [REDACTED] [REDACTED], [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] [REDACTED]? Nothin' stnads out.... 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? You can't be serious. Next question. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? I would complain about bein' forced t'compete in those conditions wearin' even me out but we were all going through that. Frankly I feel like I only had one real fight and I got m'clock cleaned during it so all in all, thumbs down. Always the next match though. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Didn' work out. No shame t'either of 'em. Skye ended up taking the conditions here a litte too hard to continue and Arisa didn' jive with my brusque sense o'humor which, fair. Woulda liked a chance to smooth it out and keep going. She carried that tag team match. 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? Uh? Yeah? The place was crawlin' with [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]s and some sorta [REDACTED] [REDACTED]...[REDACTED]..I dunno what the [CENSORED] it was, [REDACTED]. The island was [REDACTED]ed by a [REDACTED] wall o'[REDACTED]! Next question! 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. I think I'm makin' my displeasure clear here. [REDACTED] they [REDACTED] and th'pattern of them letting [REDACTED] stuff go down and then [REDACTED] taking responsibility when things go [REDACTED] is [REDACTED]. At the -very- least they coulda involved some of the past seasons mentors that coulda kept the [REDACTED] in check or less likely to try what [REDACTED] did. I don't buy any insistence that they couldn't have been better prepared. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? Considerin' that some of them were in the same basic position as the rest of us ..I dunno what like..they coulda done but I'd say the lack of foresight and preparation extends to this question as well. So yeah. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? This feels like a trick question. *clears throat* ALL OF [REDACTED]. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? Braun stares, then gets up and walks out.

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) > Okay, first off, we were only supposed to be visiting the island for a three-hour tour. I didn't expect it to turn into some big Gilligan's Island thing! > Tom and Lou got us doin' a Jeep tour of the island right after our boat landed. When we come back, we see this big plume of smoke, and then this giant [REDACTED] wave hits us. When it all clears we just see the last bits of the boat sinking -- and [REDACTED]'s standin' right there! > Then [REDACTED] started droppin' all kindsa thees and thous -- and introduced [REDACTED]self as [REDACTED]. I done promised to keep that a secret right up till [REDACTED] went out and announced it to ev'ryone. > And then [REDACTED] said we'd have three trials and such! A trial of [REDACTED], a trial of [REDACTED], and a trial of [REDACTED]. The [REDACTED] was near 'bout all the animals and plants getting [REDACTED]ed up in the [REDACTED] wave. Though, come to find out later, [REDACTED] told us [REDACTED]'d made that up to get us fightin' each other. > Then [REDACTED] [REDACTED]ed down all the trees and put a ring of [REDACTED] 'round the whole island, before [REDACTED]in' off to the top of the volcan'er! 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? > It was pretty at night when the [REDACTED]s weren't snickerin' from the shadows. It was great fightin' folks again too! 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? > The rooms were nice! But I had to spend most of my time fishin' due to the food problems, so for me it was hot and sticky and my hair was a mess. So if I'm bein' honest, I warn't a big fan. Wouldn't'a hurt no one if they'd at -least- had some baggies of trail mix for us to gnaw on. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? > I thought we did great! I mean, dang, it felt like every single fight came right down to the wire! 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? > Oh, Tan's great! She had lots to share with me about D&D! We had a blast fishin', and we even found us a big crate of seashells. Plus, Tan had some really smart ideas in her fights! It was pretty awesome workin' with someone who tries so hard to do her best! 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? > Uh, yeah, didn't I tell you that first? > ... You mean -past- the first day? Oh, um. Loads coulda gone better! Um, like, I think everyone did their best with what we had to work with. But, like, when we were checkin' out the cottages, we stumbled on some angry [REDACTED]s, and one of the cottages had this big... big s- ... s-.. oh right, Tan called it a 'slow worm." Anyway. Big [REDACTED]. Zero stars for that in Chevy's book. > Also, like, while we were fightin' a tournament, Buck an' them were stuck dealin' with a horde of [REDACTED]s! I think it might'a made sense for us to pick the tournament up afterwards, y'know? Especially since [REDACTED] decided to pop [REDACTED] head up right -after- we were wore out from our finals match! And we had to beat [REDACTED] twice... woulda been three if Tan warn't dead set on [REDACTED]ing [REDACTED] into the [REDACTED]! 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. > Well, I don't like to cast stones, but it woulda been nice if they had security officers in place, like, -before- we landed. And maybe some fighters like our mentors from last year. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? > Again, I don't like to cast stones. Tom, Lou, and Steve did dang near ev'rythin' they could've. Only gripe I had is, I feel like havin' security stick with the fighters headed to the finals was just a bit offsides. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? > Oh, uh... speakin' of 'offsides,' I've been told not to answer that one. All's I can say is, ain't no one around me was part of that. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? > Naw, I'm good. You want another event, just rent out one big arena and let us rumble again. That's how it's done!

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) Well, things started off pretty grand! The sun was out, the sky was clear, and the ocean was calm. I got to swim with some dolphins, which was awesome, until they started making fun of me. *The small girl flashes a smug grin idly picking at her teeth with one of her claws.* I got the last laugh on them though. Things went considerably downhill once we actually got to the island though. Before we could even really get a good look around some crazy [REDACTED] with [REDACTED] [REDACTED]s [REDACTED] up our boats and went on a full [REDACTED] monologue! I have no idea who [REDACTED] was but a lot of the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] were around for the [REDACTED] [REDACTED]s seemed to [REDACTED] [REDACTED], so I guess [REDACTED] must have been some [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. I'm also guessing [REDACTED] didn't have a great time because -wow- was [REDACTED] in a bad mood! Almost as grumpy as my Mom when she realized we were stranded without any air conditioning or Internet... *A pointed clearing of the throat from off-camera makes Max's eyes widen for a moment then she sheepishly looks away from the sound.* Anyways! We got off to a pretty bad start. [REDACTED] - that was what everyone called [REDACTED] but [REDACTED] seemed to get mad about it for some reason - went totally nutso and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] half the island. [REDACTED]ed basically everything bigger than a frog that wasn't us. That left all the humans in a pretty rough place since they didn't bring much supplies along. It wasn't supposed to be a lengthy trip. Fortunately, there used to be some sort of resort or hotel on the island and we managed to find some places to sleep that had a roof. Not that -I- mind catching some winks up in a tree, of course. On a somewhat related note, it turns out palm leaves are pretty bland. Don't recommend. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? Hrm! Well, other than being [REDACTED]ly [REDACTED]ed by a [CENSORED]ed off [REDACTED] [REDACTED], there was actually quite a lot of interesting stuff on the island! I got to visit my first casino, which was very noisy and flashy. I have no idea how people sit in there for hours, I thought I was going to have a seizure after ten minutes. We almost got to play volley ball but the ball [REDACTED]ed. I guess it was old. I caught a bunch of fish for everyone! Much better than palm leaves and -way- more tasty than the frozen stuff from the store. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? Great, except for the part where they didn't have any power for most of the trip. With proper air conditioning and a well-stocked pantry I bet it would make for a great vacation spot! You know, assuming they get rid of the [REDACTED]s and stuff first. 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Considering that I'm restricted to the lowest performance level of my operational capacity, it has been an interesting challenge working within those limitations. Compared to my opponents, who have been training how to fight in hand to hand combat for upwards of a decade or more, I think my performance has been quite satisfactory. There were some pretty awesome moments, like that I time I threw an entire casino machine at someone! Or when I dropped a giant disco ball from the ceiling! We ended up losing ultimately but I had a ton of fun and gained a bunch of practical combat experience that I'm sure will end up being useful in the future. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? I didn't get to spend nearly as much time with Mr. Buck as I would have liked. His transformation powers work different than mine but it would have been nice to see if I could copy a technique or two. He's really fun to play around with though! Much harder to sneak up on. I really had to work to catch him off guard. 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? Worried about my safety? Not... really? It's pretty hard for someone to pose a real threat to a [REDACTED] like me. Though I suppose if anyone meets the criteria it would be [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. That crazy [REDACTED], [REDACTED], ended up turning into a pretty gnarly [REDACTED] too. Gave me a good [REDACTED]ing, so he did! That how Tanwen would say it. Besides, I don't really experience fear like [REDACTED]s do. I was created to fight all kinds of scary [REDACTED]s! So if -I- got scared easily that'd make it hard to do my job. And [REDACTED]s aren't really a threat to anyone unless there's a -ton- of them. You can literally jog faster than them going at you full tilt. Or just climb a tree. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. Eh. I don't really think blame can be laid at their feet for this one. How often do [REDACTED]ing [REDACTED] [REDACTED]s with a bone to pick with [REDACTED] come [REDACTED] tropical resorts? Is there insurance for that? What even would they have been able to do to stop [REDACTED]? Hire another [REDACTED] to be our body guards? *Max looks thoughtful suddenly, tapping a finger on her chin.* I wonder what the going rate for that would be. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? I think they probably did the best they could under the circumstances. Ideally, there should have been a survival expert among the crew in case we got stranded for some reason. I would have been fine, of course, but Mom had a pretty rough few days. And if we didn't conveniently have someone who can control water there would have been a lot fewer fish to go around. It did seem really odd how insistent they were that we continue the tournament considering the circumstances. The NFG contract for commentators must be pretty [REDACTED]. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? [REDACTED]. I watched [REDACTED] do it. Though I guess we never found out if [REDACTED] was in cahoots with [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. Considering how much of a hate [CENSORED] [REDACTED] had for [REDACTED]s, I doubt it. *From off screen, Doctor Maeda's voice can be heard speaking the Gear's name sternly. Max withers under the tone, shoulders slumping.* Sorry, Mom... Um, I meant to say, it's unlikely that they were working together. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? Hel... er, Heck yeah! That was one of the most fun things I've gotten to do ever! [REDACTED] [REDACTED] from all [REDACTED], [REDACTED]ing for [REDACTED], roughing it in the wilderness! It was like a proper adventure! I hope they mix things up a bit next time though. Change up the locale. Maybe throw some more interesting [REDACTED]s at us. [REDACTED]s taste gross.

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. [REDACTED] 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? Island was warmer than Ayala's home, and the ocean made it a lot different. Not used to be surrounded by water on all sides, either. Forest not too different--lot more snakes, and other things. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? Ayala thought jungle was pretty warm and not so bad at finding food there... there was a hotel?? 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? No tournament this time--was on Island to hunt for treasure! Ayala was okay with that, many neo fighters were very tough, very competitive--Ayala still up for doing sponsorships, also! Call me! 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Ayala got to team for Braun while helping people through jungle--he very strong, and from [REDACTED]. Ayala wouldn't have got through jungle without him. Ayala also not sure how he not get fleas with big mane of hair like that... 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? YES, definitely! Ayala ran into wild jungle animals and [REDACTED]-bears--also [REDACTED] frogs! Frog [REDACTED]! And shark [REDACTED]! Ayala not like hunting things that [REDACTED] you. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. Ayala not upset about the [REDACTED]. Ayala just wish was told to bring more rainproof clothes for the weather... 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? Nope, not at all! Everyone was really helpful in getting through the time there. Ayala was kind of glad to be out in strange jungle again, jungle back home only has mountain lions and spiny beavers. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? Strange [REDACTED] man with glass [REDACTED] making [REDACTED] [REDACTED] underground! [REDACTED] [REDACTED]! Also [REDACTED]--oh, sorry, Ayala forgot not to use that word when JD around... But, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] people! Not expect those out on jungle island, at all. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? Yes, very much! Ayala love going on treasure hunting trips--next time there are [REDACTED] man just let Ayala know!

1. Please describe in your own words and from your own perspective the events that transpired on the day of your arrival on Isla Zaca. (http://motm.kicks-ass.net/log/idx/0012407.shtml) I fell asleep on the boat ride. I ended waking up afterwards. 2. What were some of the highlights of your trip to Isla Zaca? The pool. 3. How did you find the accommodations on Isla Zaca? The Gemstone... Ugh... 4. How do you feel about your performance in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? It felt like anything I tried against Albert was doomed to failure. 5. How did you find working with your tag partner in the 'Return to Zack Island' tournament? Sarah is amazing to watch. As far as training, we each do our own thing. 6. Were you, at any point, in fear for your personal safety while on Isla Zaca? If so, could you describe what happened? There was an [REDACTED] by a [REDACTED] lookalike on [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED], the Gemstone where I had to deal with some weird looking thing that partially ruined my defensive cape, and that crazy [REDACTED], [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] [REDACTED] who now has more power than sense finished the job on it. The dumb [REDACTED] kept calling me 'little man' when I was the tallest person there. And it's not like I'm so tall that one could call me little out of irony. 7. Do you feel that Professional Fighting Worldwide did not take reasonable measures to ensure your safety during the trip to Isla Zaca? If so, please expound. I don't know they managed to miss the fact that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] was on the island. Or for that matter how the Gemstone could fall to such a level of [REDACTED] and not suspect that something was wrong. 8. Would you consider any members of the Professional Fighting Worldwide team on the island to have been negligent in their duty of care to you or other members of the NFG? See question 7. 9. Who do you believe was responsible for the disruptions that occurred on Isla Zaca? While I'm not sure they were connected the idiotic [REDACTED] and whoever thought that [REDACTED]ing the island with weird [REDACTED] was a good idea. 10. Would you be interested in participating in further growth opportunities like the Isla Zaca trip in the future? No.
