So now what? The shouts have stopped, so I don't know quite where they were coming from-- Xia slowed down at the shout.
"This probably sounds odd, but did you happen to be shouting a minute ago about rabid chipmunks?" she asked the girl, looking around. "I know animals in these woods never get sick, but I could've sworn I heard someone shouting...."

"Yha we were. Who are you, and what exactly do you want?" Dragus looks down and see's another chipmunk. "Ack, another one!" He steps on it, and it disapears in a puff of smoke. "Now that is odd..."

"If you're talking to me," Starla says, "I'm behind the tree."

OOC: Sorry, busy days... IC: "Well, it seems a lot of people are in this forest..." Cheshil says, looking around. "Well if we want to stop the collection of the swords we'll have to find Tryton Scorge in Darcthorn Town." Cheshil pauses for a second, "Do you hear that...? It sounds like... Water? We aren't close enough to the ocean to hear the tides, are we?" Cheshil looks up into the forest, "I think... Nah, couldn't be..." OOC: Let's make some more plot: cue ocean crossing!

Starla stood up and revealed herself.
"Yes, I do hear the sound, and it is coming from the south."

"But thats where Darcthorn Town is!" Dragus grabs hold of Souls Blite and Chaos and screams, "Shadow Pass!" Within seconds Dragus becomes a shdow and starts to move quickly south towrds the sound of water. Dragus soon arrives to the town, followed minutes after by the others. Dragus than reforms into his solid state. "My god, what the heck just happoned here?!" Where Darcthorn Town once stood is now a giant ocean of water. ((There, moved us all to the "ocean". Also, I love that Shadow Pass magic I made up Who needs a horse:P))

"What!?! How could this happen? Tides don't change like THAT! Unless... No, can't be..." Cheshil says in awe. "Well there goes our chance of finding Scorge. I heard he created Dragon's Cry..."

Starla jumps in the water and swims underwater, her eyes remaining open looking for answers. She reaches the bottom, but there is no town in sight. Starla realises she is running out of air. She started swimming up, but when she almost broke the surface, darkness shadowed her.

Dragus moves closer to the water and stares at it. He than tastes it. "Its salt water all right... but what could have caused it?" Dragus looks around and notice that someone is missing. "Hmm, that girl has been down there for a long time. Maybe I should go down there and look. Once again, I'm glad for my Shadow Pass power. You want to come Cheshil? I can use it on you too." ((now this story is getting somewhere ))

Xia stares at the water, all her confusion over evil rabid chipmunks gone. "You'd better hurry! Look," she says, pointing down at the body drifting just under the surface rather far from the shore. "There's a current, or she wouldn't be that far out. You'll have to fight it."

"Well, I'm going to jump in now. Shadow Pass!"
Dragus turns into a shadow and melts into the water towrds the figure. When Dragus reaches the figure it's not Starla, but of a old man. Dragus than starts to think to himself.
"What the heck? Who's this and wheres the girl? Well I better bring him up to shore. Shadow Pass."
The man turns into a shadow and is being tugged behind another shadow.

Cheshil sees Dragus lifting up another person, and says, "Good you found her... Wait that's not her!"
Dragus materializes, holding an old man.
Cheshil looks around, "We've got to save her!"
Cheshil reaches towards the person closest to him (Dragus) and yells, "STOP!"
Everything freezes around them both.
"I stopped time, now Dragus get her out! I can't hold this for long!" Cheshil says...

Dragus still a shadow, melts back into the water to try and find Starla.
"She has to be down here somewhere. What was that? It came from the ground."
Dragus moves closer to the "ocean" floor. Just than he notices another shadow like himself, and Starla. The Shadow has Starla tied up, and seems to be dragging her to a underwater cave.
"This doesn't look good, but I need to try and get her."
Dragus swims up and manages to find the shadow rope. He than tries to move it upwards towrds the surface, but The Shadow has a tight grip on it.
"Hmmm, this doesn't look good. Maybe I can cut the rope."
Dragus takes out his sword, Souls Chaos, but just before he's about to cut time starts to move again, and misses the shot.
"Drat, almost had it. I guess I should just follow her for now."
Dragus followers her and the Shadow to a underwater cave, and decides to tell the others. He starts to swim up to the surface.

Cheshil is panting, and barely standing, "I've bever held it for so long..." He starts to slump over, "Need... Rest...."
He sits on the ground and collapses. Within a few seconds however, he gets up.
"I'm.. Ok, really."

Dragus comes back up to the shore and notices the very tired Cheshil.
"I found her, but I couldn't get her. Time started to move again, right when I almost had her."
Dragus turns back into a full form.
"She was taken by some strange shadow creature. She was taken into a cave down below. I don't know how we can get there however, because its preaty deep under water."
