It was another regular day; sun shining and grass gleaming. Genki and party had just gotten out of a town and were making their way down a well trodden path on the search for the Phoenix. Everything was not as normal as it would seem at first....

"Holly! Where are we looking for next?" Genki questioned. This had become an old routine that started off everyday. The young boy had full faith in his whole group, and never failed to use any of their abilities without question.
Holly nodded and pulled the stone out from her shirt. She began to focus hard and the stone began to glow. A golden arrow pointed east. Holly never fully understood why this happened, but was very grateful.

"The stone says, to go... east!"

"Phoenix, here we come! Ha ha!" Genki shouted with delight.

"Chi!" Moochi chimed in, as usual. The duo sped off in front of the group, leaving everyone choking on a cloud of dust. Moochi found it easier to say "chi" than use complicated words.

"That boy never runs out of energy. If only there was a way to glue him to a tree..." Suezo said, sighing.

"Awww, don't be so hard on the boy. If it werent for him you wouldnt be teleporting around!" Hare said in a playful tone.

"Dont start with me, Hare!"

"Whatcha gonna do about it?"

"Say that again and Ill show you!"

"What-are-you-going-to-do-about-it?"

"Teleport!" Suezo had just finished his words when he appeared in the sky. "I'm gonna get you Hare!!!!!!" Hare moved to his right side two paces. Suezo fell to the ground, and the rest of the group sighed.

"Heh, heh.... Cut it out guys!" Holly said, embarressed.

"Maybe....I....should...........sit down." Suezo said, dizzy and lodged in the ground.

"Or maybe we can stop this foolery and start acting like we've got a brain!" Tiger of the Wind said, very annoyed. "If we quit the crap we can get to the next town before sundown."

"Sounds good to me." Suezo said. He dizzily started walking around and fell to the ground. The ground started cracking to the road.

"Earth......shaking......." Golem said, not the least bit excited.

"Eh? Help me Golem!" Suezo leaped and latched on to Golem with his tounge. The ground where he was fell into a huge ravine, and a crack met Golem's feet.

"GUYS! GET OUTTA THERE!" Tiger yelled.

Golem started running/leaping, but with each step made more of a gorge. At last, his foot slipped into the ground. Golem and Suezo stared at the hole, and the ground gave way. Everything fell into itself around the group.

"HAAAAAAAAAALLLPPP" Hare shrieked as he slipped into the ever growing pit.

"GENKI! MOOCHI! SAVE US!" Holly yelled in unisom with Hare. She prayed for the saftey of the group as the ground slipped beneath her feet....

Genki was far ahead of the group when he heard a large crash in the distance. He stopped abruptly and Moochi crashed into him. They toppled over and fell to the ground.

"Ow chi!"

"Moochi. Did you hear that?" Genki questioned. The pink monster nodded its head and pointed back a ways down the road.

"OH NO! THE OTHERS!" Genki yelled and sped off down the road.

"Wait for me chi!" The two hurried back to where a huge dark cloud loomed over...

***

Genki came back to find a vast valley of rock and barren swamp. How did this get here? Genki asked himself. He made his way down to the side of a cliff with Moochi following closely behind. He spotted a small body on the edge of a jut in the rock. He identified it as the body of Tiger.

"TIGER! Tiger wake up!" Genki shook the limp body. Moochi plopped down and started crying.

"Please be ok chi."

"Tiger be alright, please..." Genki stopped moving the blue body, and said to Moochi behind tears, "We gotta find the others..." As they were leaving, Tiger slowly twitched his ears and got up.

"TIGER!" Moochi and Genki both shouted.

"Genki, Moochi. *cough* Wh- Where are the others?"

"We dont know." Genki sighed. "What happened here?"

"The ground fell in. We have to find the others!" Tiger started to move, but stumbled. His leg was bleeding and smearing blood on the ground.

"Tiger, youre hurt chi!" Moochi said, pointing at his leg.

"I'll be fine, lets go!" Tiger said before falling.

"Stay here. Moochi and I will look for the others."

They drudged on in the green swamp sludge, searching for other members. Moochi spotted something reddish on the other side of a near by river.

"It's Holly and Hare!!!!" Genki shouted with glee. They swam over to the grassy knoll the two were on.

"They look fine! Chi!" Moochi said with relief. Moochi shook Holly awake. Holly blinked a few times, like she didnt know Moochi. Then she snapped back to normal and hugged Moochi.

"Im glad to be back. Are you ok?"

"Fine chi!" By that time Hare was up.

"Hi guys! I cant believe Im alive!" Hare said before kissing the ground. Genki noticed that Hare didnt have his pouch.

"Hey Hare! Are you ok?"

"Yeah, im great!"

"...Did you lose your sack of things?"

"Whoops! I must have lost those in the fall."

"I guess so."

"We gotta look for the others." As soon as Genki said that, Holly gasped.

"My pendant and knife are gone!" Holly looked on her right side for her talisman, double checking. Genki took note of this, and filed it away for later thought.

"You mean your talisman?"

"Right. Its gone!"

"Are you sure the stone is gone?"

"Yeah."

***

The two newly found members were reunited with Tiger. Then Moochi and Genki made their way back to the swamplands in search of the last two members. They came across Suezo, stuck in a stump of a tree.

"Get me out!" Suezo yelled, but it sounded like "mmmmmMMMMMMmmMmmMMmm"

"Suezo, listen to me! Zap out using teleport." Genki said.

"You can do it chi!" Moochi shouted in encouragement.

"TelePORT!!!!!!!!!!!" Suezo turned blueish purple and in an instant was standing next to Genki.

"Alright! One more to find!" Genki said, and it made Moochi smile.

***

Genki and group searched hard for Golem for the next four days, with no resulting prize. Everyone's spirits were low, and fell even worse off when Hare informed the group that they need to move on. They had a burial and made thier way to a town called "New Manic Town". Holly rented an inn room, and the group all came to the room. After a long silence, Suezo finally said,

"What now?"

"What do you mean what now?" Hare questioned.

"I mean what now as in we have no way of telling were the Phoenix is, no money, no Golem, and NO FREAKING IDEA WHAT TO DO!"

"We need to get jobs." Holly said. The group looked shocked, as Holly usually stayed quiet during yelling and shared her input when everyone was calm.
"Listen, we are in a rut right now, but we need to make the best of things that we have, not that we dont." Everyone nodded, and slowly agreeing with the idea.
