FINALLY! ANOTHER CHAPTER.

By your beloved Koolsnowball Disclaimer: you get the idea. I own noting but the half-animals and their world. OkeyDokey. Oh and yippy yay yippy joy! I finished the first book!

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

Right. Where were we? A yes.. ~*~ One of the crowd members had stayed behind to help unlock the cages. "Sorry about that," he said as he approached a cage, which so happened to have Aragorn in it. The first thing Aragorn noticed about the guy helping him was 1) that he was unlocking the door with his tail and 2) the tail had blades along the spine-like thing that continues down the tail. At the end of the tail (tail, not tale, so GET BACK HERE) there was a rather large, sharp blade. "What the hell?" Aragon said upon seeing the crowd member. "What?" said the crowd member in one of those snotty English accents "You act like you've never seen a half-Requin before." "He's from the main-middle earth Ralph, of course he's never seen a Requin before, dip head!" shouted Kendra as she approached the cages. "Oops, my bad."said Ralph. "Well allow me to show you" Ralph said. Well, to put it kindly, Ralph changed into a horse. Kinda. 'Cause you see, Requins are kinda like horses, 'cept they have-wait, in order to keep it simple, I'll just describe this one: Ralph turned into a creature that vaguely looked like a horse, except that it had a long, snake-like neck. The same thing went for the tail, like I described earlier. The back legs were like a horse's, but the major joint was raised a bit (to the point where it was level to the beginning of the leg.), and they had REALLY big blades (like the tail blade, but thinner.), since the back leg joints were raised, the leg below it was reeaaal long. The front legs, were, well, normal. The head was exactly like a horse's, but had yet another blade on the forehead. And finally, along the spine (you know, that big bone that runs from the head down to the [in case of animals with tails] tail?), more blades. The first thought through the fellowship's mind was 'demon horse'. But they kept their kool (snowball! [Sorry, catchphrase. And it's copyrighted! So ask before you use it!{okay, not really, but ask before you use anyhow}]) And just put on a smile while nodding their heads. ~~~ After awhile, Kendra and Ariel made Ralph stop posing and got around to the task of unlocking the cages. Once they got all three of the peoples out of the cages, they began their apologies, and asked if there was anything they could do to help them (this is the half-animals 2 the 3 fellowship guys, understand? Gooood.). To put in short, Aragorn said no and Legolas and Gimli said yes. "2 out of 3 says yes! So tell me, what could we do for you to make up for this big mess?" Ariel said, her 'guilty grin face' on again, this time (last time for sure) with blush. At the same time, Gimli and Legolas said: "Help us get back to Middle Earth!" "Rescue 2 of our friends!" "Yes! Both we can do!" Kendra said, before turning towards Ariel "Ariel, to rescue their friends, one would have to go behind enemy lines, face life-threatening danger, and risk getting recaptured. That's why you're going Ariel." Kendra said dramatically (up until the that's why you're going thing). "Fine!" Ariel said (with a dash of attitude). She then turned into a dragon and abruptly flew off. Before she disappeared into sky, she abruptly stopped, turned around and flew back down to earth. "Uhh, who am I rescuing again?" She asked Kendra slapped her forehead. "You idiot, you are going to fly to Main Middle Earth to rescue, uh, their 2 friends from, uh, oh, their worst enemy's grasp, yeah that's it." Kendra edged closer to the nearest fellowship guy, which so happened to be Aragorn. "Umm, what are your friend's names, what are they, and who and/or what is your enemy/enemies that are holding them captive?"

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~MUCH EXPLAINING LATER~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~

"I see. Well Ariel, what are you waiting for? Go already!" Kendra said after much explaining. "Why me?" Ariel whined. "'Cause you can change size at will, AND you're also the action lover so there!" Kendra shouted back at Ariel. "Fine!" Ariel said as she took off, mumbling about something that sounded like "bunch of lazy half-bums". "Great! While she's gone, I'm going to lead you through the Forest of the royal half-animals!" Kendra said, at the same time turning and pointing to a scary looking forest.

Now as we leave our group bombarding Kendra with little questions that she is ignoring, we go to Ariel, who at that precise moment reached the camp that had Merry and Pippin captive.

~#$~$#~#$~$#~#$~

To put it in quick currently the orc/ uruk-hai camp was in flames, and the orcs/ uruk-hai were either burning or dead. The last dialogue between Merry and Pippin before they were taken by the dragon was as follows: "Merry?" "What?" "I'm Hungry" "AAAAAAAAAAARRGH!" The dragon picked up the two hobbits before any violence between the two happened. The dragon was, of course, Ariel. After she reached a good height, Ariel decided to strike up a good conversation between the two hobbits. "Quit screaming before I decide to pitch you off at the nearest orc camp." "It talked!" Pippin shouted out. "I'm surprised you can too, pea-brain" Ariel snapped. "Hey, shouldn't you fly up higher in the clouds?" Merry suggested. "Why? Those orc's arrows are so poorly made, that they even can't go this high! And their aims are soooo terrible, that they couldn't hit me anyways- " Ariel explained before a loud, sick ripping sound was heard. "What was that?" Ariel had a 'guilty grin face' on again (this time no blush) and replied through clenched teeth "THAT, would be an arrow riiiiiping through my wing. Nothing big." Merry and Pippin simultaneously screamed like men (you know, like that high- pitched 'girl scream'? Yeah, that one). "To put it simply, this is one of those 'Aaaaaw crap moments.' "Ariel said sadly. "Don't you have some kind way to recover from falls like this?" Pippin begged. "Of course! I learned stuff like that during flying school! Now let me think." Ariel said as she closed her eyes, deep into thought. *FLASHBACK* Ariel was in the middle of a flying lecture. As the teacher drawled on, Ariel drew an unusually detailed (no, you're sick) water dragon. *END FLASHBACK* "Uhhh," Ariel said as she quickly devised another plan. "Do you have that emergency recovery plan remembered? 'cause we kinda need it now." Merry complained. "Aaaaaah, yes, just hide behind that scale that pops up." Ariel said, making a scale between the wings (where Merry and Pippin were sitting) pop up like a windshield on a motorcycle. Ariel then changed colour to an earthy brown and. her wings disappeared. "Hold on!" Was all Ariel said as she did a nosedive into the ground, with Merry and Pippin screaming all the way. Ariel hit the ground.and kept going on through like it was water. A few seconds later Ariel came shooting straight up out of the ground and ( Pippin: Merry? Merry: What? Pippin: I'm hungry. Merry: AAARRGH!!!) Back down again. This went on about 5 more times (with Merry and Pippin's screams in between surfaces) until Ariel finally crash-landed in a clearing. "What the hell were you doing?! You could've gotten us killed!" Merry screamed at Ariel. "Well, would you rather of had me crash, burn, and break everything, even you, instead of becoming an Earth Dragon?" Ariel retorted. There was an awkward silence "Thought so. Now all we have to do is wait for my cousin to come and pick me up." Ariel sighed. "Why do we have to wait for your cousin?" Pippin asked. "Because she has healing spells, and without my wing-skin, I can't fly, and flying is faster than walking is." Ariel replied as calmly as her patience allowed her to. There was a long silence. Then, "Merry?" "Arg. What?" "I'm hungry."

Merry could've sworn Pippin was smart enough to be doing this on purpose.

"Hmm, Ariel should be back by now. I'm going to look for her. Boys, try to stay out of trouble." Kendra said as she took off without waiting for the 'Boys' comments...

A/N: Will Kendra reach Ariel? Is Pippin really annoying Merry on purpose? Will he get fed?
