Hearing noises and screeches of monsters, they went back-to-back, getting ready to attack.
"Jake, look out!" cried Kemi, pushing him out of a way before he got whacked by this tree-looking thing. It appeared to be a Greatest General, or GG. "What is that thing!" Kemi yelled.
"I don't know, but it sure is powerful! Maybe we should—Oh my god, no more blue gems! What shall we do?" Mika looked terrified, as if she seen a ghost trying to steal her away.
"Oh Crap… crap, crap…" Kemi mumbled under her breath. She thought she was going to die. "I'll shoot it!" said Kemi, trying to be proud of her self. 'C'mon, hit the target… Hit, hit, hit!' Thought Kemi, thinking she was hopeless.
"Bsham!" the arrow went spinning, right at the target. "C'mon, c'mon! Almost there, almost there!" Kemi said repeatedly to her self. "Swoosh!" The arrow went past the GG, and hit a rock, making a loud "Thwong!" noise before it stopped moving.
"Well, at least it can't move, but—Ahh!" yelled Mika. "What in the—!" Mika looked behind her, seeing a Horong, these purple things that know how to do the Mage skill, Sight.
"We're surrounded!" screamed Kemi, bawling. She was so sad right now, she could hardly move.
"Nothing we can do, for now. Only thing we can do is go up." Said Jake, grabbing Kemi and Mika and than quickly hopping up-wards. The Horings, who knew how to float, followed after them. There were at least 20 or 30..
"C'mon, we must race back to Payon, before we're dead meat!" yelled Jake, quickly forcing Kemi and Mika to run behind him as he grabbed onto her arm.
Kemi was still crying with fear; she didn't know what she should do. In fact, what 'should' we do?
We have no where to run, nor hide. All there is is just a bunch of Horong's everywhere, and GG's. "The exit!" Jake screamed. "C'mon, before we're killed!" Jake quickly hopped into the air, forcing Mika and Kemi to do so as well.
They've landed, something has stopped them. "Eek!" Kemi screamed, hiding behind
Jake. "A … a… dog!" Mika said, a Ninetails growling at them. "Oh my god!" yelled Jake.
"That's no dog, that's an Ninetails! They're tougher than any monster on this field!" Jake screamed. "Holy Light!" yelled Mika, sending out an Holy attack at the Ninetails. It yipped, but feeling no pain.
"It's too strong!" cried Mika, as the Ninetails bit her and a Horong hitting her on the side. "Mika! No!" Kemi sobbed. Jake tried to quiet Kemi down, but she wouldn't stop crying.
Mika fell, unconscious. Jake quickly picked her up and carried her on his back. "Mika, please, wake up, we n-need y-you!" cried Kemi, bawling and hiccupping as she tried to wake up Mika. It was hopeless… they were all surrounded….
