Running Man: A showdown with the fate of the tribes at stake
The Soul Tree— Its fruit was a "civilized energy source," but it was also a disaster that brought war between the tribes. One day, groaning under the pain of endless war, the tribal leaders signed a peace treaty and decided to create a fair arena for competition. A tournament where representatives of each tribe compete and "the winner takes the fruit." The elite athletes who entered with the fate of their tribes on the line. We call them "Running Man." The Running Men and DV7 are rivals, and all members of DV7 have been brainwashed. To break that brainwashing, the Running Men must win the game, but DV7 is an incredibly powerful opponent...

His neck, arms, and legs can stretch.
