"Quick, half of you come with me!" shouted Chillax, running to a spot far enough from the others so that whatever it was wouldn't be able to attack them all at once, if it did mean harm, and so that if one group was attacked, the other group could surprise attack the attackers.

John ran over to where chillax was standing

Melody got into her fighting stance, waiting for whatever was following them.

Cerilla stayed put, being the the other half staying behind.
Zerven immediately got to his feet and backed away from the bush's slowly. Not daring to make a sound.

There was a large roar and a huge monster leap from the bushes. It landed on the ground with a large thud that threw Zerven and Cerilla onto the floor.

"Aurel! Aurel!" huffed a tired voice. A man appeared from behind them, he looked much younger than Aurel, round about in his late teens. He had light blond hair stood out in the darkness. "T-The big m-onster thing," he gasped. "It broke free from it's cage!"

"What!?" exclaimed Aurel. She seemed both irratated and in disbelief. "You mean the Ma-Nage?"

"Wait, what?!" Hisashi said. "You actually keep these things alive?!"

"We can't kill it, its a long story which I can't explain right now. We need to find your friends fast," said Aurel hastily.

"Too bad, 'cause I'm gonna." Hisashi asked, before running off, back towards the ship.

John flew in with a slash at the creature

"can you run??" Melody asked Renji.

Chillax saw the monster appear and was ready for action. Since its attention was on the others for the time being, he concentrated his powers and sent a swarm of snowballs right at it.

"i dont have to" Renji said smiling softly at melody before holding a card up aiming deliberatly at the ground infront of Aurel "Arcbound Hybrid"

As the creature shot out of the card it let out a small squeel that sounded nearly exactly like a pig squeeling after being captured by a farmer. "hey buddy, how are you? i let you sleep a while this time huh?" he looked at Aurel then at Melody "lets go Melody" he hopped on the back and motioned for her to get on behind him.

Aurel jumped back and sighed in frustration, this boy was getting on her nerves. She turned to the blonde teen. "Gien, go with the bunch and assit. I'm sure you are well prepared appretience for this challenge," she told him, "I'll be back soon."
Gien nodded and speed after the others. Then, Aurel disappeared in the trees.

The Monster threw back his head and roared again. Pathetic mortals he thought to himself as the snowballs immediately melted as they touched his shell.
Cerilla scurried to her feet and wiped her stick from her back. Her heart beating like crazy. She spun it in a circular motion and a energy ball formed at the tip. Then she released the orb at the monster by swiping her stick in the air.

John tried to stab the creature with his sword

"forgot you had the bird creature..." Melody said, hopping on behind Renji "okey."

(click the links lol that one isent a bird its like a rhino)

"seeya shorty" Renji said, taking off fast and quickly catching up to Hiashi, and slowing down to run beside him. "stop, the best thing to do is get the element of suprise"

"Which would work better with stealth. Which your beastie doesn't have." Hisashi said, diving to the side to remain unseen.

(i did. and i got a picture of a squirrel. ^_^ cute squirrel)

Melody grab on tight since they took off fast.
"can we just get there. the group probably already getting attack and we are wasting time" she said.

The orb bounced off his shell and went right at Cerilla. She tried to dodge it, but it caught her and it threw her against the floor.
The creature snarled at Ben for damaging it's shell and swiped at it with a claw.

---
Gien caught up with the others. He hated having to run around all the time. "Maybe we you attack from above?" he suggested, out of breath. "With that bird?"

Hisashi, who had separated from the group to actually try and be surprising, made it's way to the creature, keeping low and preparing for a slash in the legs.

Chillax raised his arms and concentrated on the ground around the monster's feet to turn it into a thick slippery ice.
