All of which exists in the universe, legend has it that there was a forest, a forest that sent unbearable horror to all those that ever enter it, and to return to the real world nevermore....

Once within the forest, the quintet, Tim, Ted, Tom, Tony, and Theodore, stumbled upon an abandoned tank within the uncharted forest. A group vote was done, and Theodore the mechanic was chosen to pilot it. Unfortunately for the Moose Poacher quintet, the Mini Moose 2707 had disappeared deep into the forest, and as dusk fell upon the poachers, the horrible terrors of the Knightmare Forest began to unravel....
