Disclaimer - I own the Shadow Man and the Princess.I think.

Sorry for the (EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY) long delay, but I think I'll try to continue this now.

Chapter 11: Descent Into Evil's Domain

"How can we get past those enemy soldiers?" Jeff asked. "There's way to many." "I believe I'll get out of here with a PSI Farewell." Poo started, before Paula glared daggers and death at him. "I was kidding! I was kidding! Sheesh.as a matter of fact, I might be able to do something.Dr. Andonuts, how far down the road are they?" "Hmmm.apparently, they're all gathered in a two meter diameter from here." "Then I might just be able to pull this off." He then kneels into a praying position and starts murmuring to himself. "Ghosts of the Ancestral Spirit of the line of royal reign, for a while, please halt the passage of time, for these people must stop for my save!" Poo chanted Sparkles went down, and all the soldiers below were stopped dead in their tracks. "A Time Stop Passage. Useful. Quickly, let's get out of here, they can only stop them for a while." They quickly jumped off the ledge, and ran through a passage, while dodging through the guards, until they turned a corner, and then time flowed normally. "Nuts!" Poo hammered a fist into a palm. "Time flows normally, and I don't have the strength to do it again. We'll have to fight the other guards." "Fine, as long as Ness is safe." Paula said, then charged forward, whanging anything that got in her way sideways with the Holy Frying Pan. "Yowch." said Jeff. ".that'll hurt next week!". The others were running after Paula like crazy. The extent of seeing Ness had made her go completely berserk, as minor guards were whacked sideways, then finished off by some sort of weapon from the group running after her. Suddenly, two hulking figures towered in front of her. Even she couldn't whack THESE sideways. She had to stand and fight. The major guards towered over her, and the group caught up, ready to stand and fight.

***Battle Scene*** 1 of the major guards threw a fist into Paula's stomach, knocking her sideways. She used PSI Freeze Omega to retaliate. They just shrugged it off, and attacked again. Poo swiped with the Sword of Kings, but that didn't hurt, as it just grabbed the sword and sent it, and Poo, flying backwards. Mr. Saturn tried to headbutt, but they didn't even recognise he was there. Jeff shot his Gaia beam. But no matter what they did, nothing affected him. Meanwhile Dr. Andonuts, dodging his attacks, was slowly wondering about the two bodies.they always seemed to be an appropriate distance from each other, but they never moved separately. Suddenly he saw light gleam of a space between the two. A tube? A tube! "There's a tube between them!" Dr. Andonuts shouted. "Attack that and they'll lose their invincibility!" Doing as he said, Poo made a single slide and backflip while holding his sword directly in front of him, severing the tube while preventing himself from being hit. Suddenly the two guards began to stagger, and kneel down, becoming weaker and weaker. It seemed they shared a life support. Without it, they'd live, but they'd be much weaker. Paula retaliated by a PSI Fire. It incinerated them. Soon there were only smoking remains. Paula got her breath back, and began charging forward. "Congratulations, fools!" A huge voice boomed over the room. The voice of the Shadow Man. "I am impressed that you made it this far, but you will never even reach me, let alone defeat me! Hoohoohoohahaha!" "Oh yeah?!" Paula yelled into the thin dusty air. "Says WHO?!?" "Ah, the girl. Quite a feisty one, isn't she? No matter, she'll find out says who. My loyal and trustworthy servant, that's who! Go forth, and defeat that snivelling scum of an enemy!" Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was dark, but it seemed to be the size of a normal person. But anyone from the distance knew who it was. "No." Paula stammered, staring at the person in front of her. "No.it can't be!" This figure was wearing a baseball cap, and had a baseball bat in his hand. And a smile of bone-chilling evil.

(A/N: YES!! Anyone want to take a guess at who THIS is? (3 guesses, and the first 2 don't count.) Now quite an climatic showdown was about to bubble. If you can't guess who the person is (shame on you!), you'll have to wait until next chapter! MWAHAHA!)
