Disclaimer- I own nothing in this except the Shadow Man, Trigas has probably already been thought up by some guy, but I'm not sure whom.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed, but to Masboy11, I doubt any of that 'admiration' will come out. It just doesn't seem to cross with me anymore. It MIGHT come near the end of the story (I doubt it though). And to Aurin Taco: I'll make sure to do that this time.

Chapter 10: The Call into the Meteorite.

Ness wearily trudged out of the town hall. He needed to get to the nearest inn. Although it seemed like he had to slash through were infinite. He finally managed to slash through enough monsters to safely be able to go to sleep in the inn. Ness, Paula, Jeff, Poo, the Princess, Pokey, Mr. Saturn and Dr. Andonuts were finally able to get to sleep in the inn.

A few hours passed, and midnight descended upon the night. Ness, quite full of energy, had got up, still in his pyjamas, to get a glass of water, so he could sleep better. Just then, he saw a shadow cross in the hall. A menacing shadow. He thought this would be a monster, so he got dressed, got his baseball bat, and followed the shadow, as it went around a corner into the room. He silently walked to the room and open the door.

He just had enough time to walk in and close the door before he realised just how much trouble he was in. There, almost being lined from wall to wall was a huge bunch of monsters. Ness tried to bash them with his baseball bat, but to no avail, the beasts seemed only to brush aside the attack. Then, before he could do anything, the beast descended on him, and the lights went out. Ness just had enough time to feel something jump on him before his lights went out. When the lights came back on, Ness was lying there unconscious. Unaware of what was happening. The monster the shadow belonged to slung Ness on his shoulder and walked off.

When morning came, it seemed Paula was the first one to wake up. She got dressed, and then went over to Ness' bed. "Good mor." she started, before realising Ness wasn't there. "Hmm." she thought, "I wonder where Ness is?"

She had a look around the room, and it seemed like Ness wasn't anywhere. Everyone was asleep. She had a look around some of the rooms, and realised that Ness wasn't anywhere. Then she went into a room. The same room Ness went in where he was captured. She had a look around, and as she was about to exit, she noticed something strange on the floor. Blood. Red blood. Human blood. Paula's mind was racing with about 50 questions. Just then, something shattered all those questions, and she heard a calling, in her mind. (A/N: Telepathy, obviously). ".Help." the voice seemed to call. "Who are you?!" Paula replied, hoping her telepathy would reach the person that was calling her. It did, of course (A/N: We weren't expecting that, were we? *sarcastic tone in voice*). ".Call.into the.meteorite.I need help.please." the voice seemed to be getter weaker and weaker until the voice simply cut off. At the end of this statement, Paula had figured out who it was. Her mind was screaming so loud every bone in her body woke up instantly. But all that could come out of her mouth was a feeble cry. ".Ness." she managed to utter. Paula instantly charged into the room yelling, "NESS IS GONE!!!"

Nobody woke up, or weren't yelling. After all, you'd want your beauty sleep, wouldn't you? A snarl came over Paula's face. She wrung out her Holy Frying Pan and. WHANG! WHANG! WHANG! Everybody woke up to the whanging of Paula's frying pan, mainly because they'd all been hit in the face with it. Then Paula, seeming to have gone completely insane with worry, just said, "Nesshasbeencapturedweneedtosavehim!!" Pokey just stood there and looked utterly confused. "What the.?" he asked as he was trying to make sense of what was happening. Paula was still anxious. "ComeonyouslowpokesgetupNessneedsourhelp!!!" "I believe," Jeff translated, "that she was trying to say that Ness has been captured, and she wants us to hurry up and get going to the meteorite." "We should go," said Dr. Andonuts, "After all, he is our friend, and there is no point in delaying a rescue." "And besides," Mr. Saturn stated, "I don't want to be hit in the face with her frying pan again!"

Sooner or later, after slashing through more monsters, our heroes reached the meteorite. They were bashed and bruised, but a bit of healing PSI and some PSI recovery gadgets and thingamabobs settled that easily. "Well," Poo remarked, "It is time to save our friend." Then Paula called into the meteorite, "Please, help us! Paula and her friends have found us and are chasing us! We need sanctuary. The meteorite seemed to shift, as if it were thinking. Then it stood still. Paula prayed her luck would hold. It did. The meteorite seemed to start glowing with power. Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck out and shot each of our heroes. They started shrinking within the bolt until they could go straight in to the meteorite itself. Our heroes seemed to fall down through endless worlds of colour, and strange blackness, and many strange walls. The worlds had been distorted! It seemed like in the mix between the real world and the world of the meteorite, everything had become disillusioned. And before anyone realised what had just happened, they landed on top of a ledge, and this ledge was above lots of enemy soldiers.

(A/N: YES! A cliff-hanger! So how our are our seven heroes going to make it through and rescue Ness without being pummelled? Wait for the next chapter, and maybe you'll find out.
