Fiction:Deathworld

'Welcome to the most inhospitable, most dangerous, most terrifying planet you've ever seen, welcome... to DEATHWORLD!'

''Deathworld is the new combat survival sport sweeping the universe, already aired in three galaxies, and banned in five! Each week a team of intrepid contestants from across the universe compete in a series of gruelling challanges for fame, fortune and glory, all the while trying to survive on a planet specifically terraformed to be as insanely lethal as possible!''

''So, you ask, what makes this planet so dangerous? Every single animal on this world is a hyper-evolved killer, and when they look at you, they see lunch, and while you're dodging and evading these biological death-machines, the very trees and grasses are trying to kill you too! Even if you somehow survive all these traps and snares, the planet's climate will make short work of the weak. From raging hot deserts to sticky, humid forests, all the way up to a frigid mountain glacier, it will take all the skill and cunning these would-be heroes possess to survive more than the first day.''

But, that's not all! We weren't just going to let a bunch of pansies walk on through in full armour, totting flamethrowers and machineguns, oh no! Our teleporter arrays strip the adventurers of any form of artificial protection, be it clothing, weaponry or armour. You're going in with only your fists, your wits and the three losers with you, buddy!''

''And if that scared you, wait 'till you here this! Our brave contestants are being chased night and day by our crack team of Hunters, and they will throw traps, obstacles and savage creatures straight in the path of whoever tries to best this mighty planet. No matter where they run, no matter how well they hide, the Hunters will be following them, watching them, studying their every move, and you get to see it LIVE on pay-per-view TV!''

So strap yourselves in, hold on tight and keep a pair set of underwear handy, 'cos the show is about to begin!
