Suddenly Cyrus started to stir and shift, mumbling to himself to get up. The others encouraged him from the sidelines. After a bit the young elder dragon opened his eyes and looked around. One of his eyes landed on Randall and the other on Chaos, later giving a tired smile.

"H-h-hey-y Guy-y-ys-s." Cyrus said in his soft, airy voice. As he attempted to stand Tobias was there to prop him up. Cyrus looked much better and had regained some of his strength, though not all of it, but it was enough for the group to start walking. Since they appeared to be at the lip of the beach it was decided that they would follow the shore further downwards.

Randall took it upon himself to scout ahead while the others followed. Along the way Cyrus would occasionally wobble and bump into others while he walked, though they completely understood why. He literally almost drowned and an hour hasn't even past and he only has enough power to barely walk, let alone walk in a straight line. As the group continued forward Chaos suddenly stopped, black mist covering the surrounding floor and bleeding into the trees. Trinity caught sight of this and turned around, giving him a look.

"Hey, you good?" She asked. Chaos gave a quick nod before running to a nearby tree. He perked up and called Trinity over, not wanting to disturb Cyrus and Tobias, who was assisting him. She slithered over and looked down at what Chaos was so interested in. She could hardly make it out because of the shade made by the tree, the thin layer of mist, and how it blends in with the ground. But even with all that she saw what it was, or more specifically, who it was. Magnus. The Monoblos just appeared to be sleeping. Even though it pained her to wake him up from a rather peaceful sleep they needed to move. She walked over and tapped his face. Over the past years they all have been together they know of simple methods to waking certain individuals up, and to wake up Magnus you must tap right under his eyes, as it was the softest part of his face. He immediately stirred and opened his eyes.

"What?" He questioned. As he looked around for a second he realized who they were and his face lightened up. He pounced on Trinity and Chaos and wrapped them with his wings and embraced them.

"Oh I'm so glad you're alright mates." He said. Trinity and Chaos returned the embrace and replied that they were happy he was ok to. When Magnus caught sight of Tobias and Cyrus he ran up to them as well, happy that they got out of that whole ordeal. They informed him of Randall scouting ahead and Cyrus's current status.

"Are you alright mate, how are you feeling?" Magnus asked, concern in his voice. As Magnus looked closer he could tell Cyrus wasn't in peak physical performance, as the elder dragon leaned heavily on Tobias's side. Tobias was also glad he could help Cyrus for once. His species is very vulnerable to fire, and with Tobias having a fiery aura around him prohibited contact with Cyrus. But with Tobias current emotional level, his fire seemed to have dimmed and was now the feeling of a warm blanket. And Tobias happily lent that warmth to Cyrus.

"Do-o-on't wo-or-r-y abo-o-out m-e-e. I wi-i-ill be-e-e alri-i-i-it." Cyrus reassured. "I fe-e-ell be-e-etter-r-r tha-a-an I di-i-id ear-r-rli-i-i-ier." Cyrus explained as he removed himself from Tobias's side and stood up on his own. Magnus nodded, though would still keep an eye on him. Now with Magnus joining the group they continued to head more down the beach. Not long after Randall came swooping back. He landed and looked at them.

"Up ahead there are - hey is that Magnus?" Randall started but got completely sidetracked and nudged Magnus.

"Uhh, we would like to know what you saw." Trinity reminded, staring as Randall seemed to forget to inform them after interacting with Magnus. Randall, after being reminded got more serious, which concerned the group.

"Ohh right. Up ahead are actually Garrett and Kade. But the bad news is the whole reason they aren't with me. They're not that far down but I doubt they are going anywhere. Kade is really injured and can hardly move. It pained me to leave him like that." Randall explained, eyes filled with concern and worry. Everyone looked at each other and raced forward, even Cyrus somehow found the strength to run. After a while of running and following Randall he landed and directed them just a few feet into the forest.

"I'm just lucky I saw them." He said. He parted a few low hanging leaves and branches and revealing Kade leaning on Garrett, gasping for air and breathing sporadically. All of them gasped once they saw Kade's condition. His neck was stabbed by a rock and Garrett's left legs and side had blood trailing down it and making a small pool on the floor beneath him. Tobias couldn't even look at the scene in front of him without having to gag, feeling bile run up his throat as he stared at Kade. Garrett looked up and his eyes seemed broken and lost, like an abused dog. And behind all that was panic and fear. His eyes may not show it well, but if you know where to look, and if you know him well enough like they do, you could see it. Garrett isn't very expressive and likes to keep his feelings and thoughts well hidden, only opening up when the situation calls for it, and even then he takes on a more stoic face and voice. But right now this is the most emotion and expression anyone has ever seen out of him.

"Please, find some herbs and some water." He said almost in a whisper. This was so out of character for Garrett, and that really worried them. Trinity went to fetch water while Chaos and Randall handled the herbs. Tobias and Cyrus just stayed put and comforted Kade, who was in agonizing pain. But they also reassured Garrett. It hurt them so much to see their friends in such turmoil. Kade looked like he was on the verge of death, and Garrett look soulless. Sometimes Kade wouldn't move for a few seconds and they would have to rely on hearing his shallow breathing to identify if he is still alive or not. And since Kade doesn't have any eyes, it is impossible to tell if he passed out or anything and would have to talk to him and get a reply to signify that he was still awake.

Trinity came back with water sponged in her tail and Randall and Chaos returned with a large amount of herbs. Trinity got to work. She is well trained in medicine and health by her mother so she created a think, putty material out of the herbs leaves and liquid, the salt water, and some sand. As Trinity was about to apply it to Kade's neck she looked at Garrett and Kade. Kade lowered his head so it would be easier for Trinity, while Garrett grabbed the rock in his trunk.

"On the count of three, quickly pull the rock out." Trinity ordered. Garrett nodded and Kade braced himself. Everyone around them looked away and Chaos forced the mist to disappear.

"One."

"Two."

"THREE!" She shouted and Garrett, in one swift movement, yanked the rock out and Trinity didn't miss a beat in applying the remedy. Kade screamed but stayed still, anchoring himself with his tail to the floor. The material started to harden and sealed the wound, protecting it. The Khezu started to catch his breath and relax. Kade didn't move but gave a smile.

"Thanks for the save guys." He said. "Now, if you will excuse me, I'm just going to lay here." He said, lolling his head to the side.

"L-l-le-e-et m-m-me-e jo-o-oin-n-n yo-o-ou." Cyrus said, hobbling over and resting next to Kade. Garrett seemed relaxed now, eyes no longer drooped and sad, instead his eyes looked tired and grateful. He even offered a very small smile. The Gammoth then stood up and walked over to the ocean to clean himself off. He was drenched with blood and had been laying in it for quite a while. It had started to dry as well and stick to his fur in clumps.

"Just don't get it wet and it will stick to you." Trinity informed while Garrett was walking back towards them. Everything below his shoulders was soaking wet, but he no longer had speckled of red everywhere on his blue tinted fur. Kade understood and slowly nodded and rested his head back down. Garrett had some water stored in his trunk to moisten Kade's skin, making sure not to get it on the seal, and instead on his back, legs, and tail. Kade sighed contently. Now the rest of the group can take a well deserved rest.

20 minutes passed and Kade felt a little bit better, though still in pain. And Cyrus was doing better, finally recovering from his ordeal. Garrett let Kade ride on his back as the group continued to walk. And not even 10 minutes passed before Randall reported finding others. He lead them to Grant, Lamar, and Yuma. Yuma was ecstatic to see the rest of his friends and he ran over to the nearest one to him, which was Magnus. He gave a smile and embraced the little one.

"Magnus!" Yuma cried out as his tiny wings outstretched and hugged Magnus the best he could. Magnus gave a warm smile and wrapped his wings around Yuma and held the little one close. At least Yuma escaped that ordeal unharmed. Yuma broke the hug and proceeded to run around and hug whoever was around. While Yuma was doing that the ones that escaped the young monsters joyful hugs walked over to Lamar and Grant, relieved they were alright as well. As Yuma made it his duty to hug everyone Garrett placed Kade down on the floor, leaning against a tree in the shade, and trying his best to keep Yuma away from him, in fear that the little Yian Kut-Ku could farther hurt Kade. Kade just wanted to rest. Garrett's constant moving was hurting Kade and now he needs a break to recover pain free. Magnus and Chaos played with Yuma to keep him distracted from the dire situation they were all in.

"I'm gonna get you." Magnus exclaimed, making his way towards Yuma like a leviathan, crouching so only his head, wings, back, and tail were exposed. As he made his way towards Yuma, who made no attempt to move, he swished his tail back and forth in the water to give the impression that he was swimming. Yuma just laughed along.

"Oh no!" Yuma shouted with a big grin on his face. Suddenly a dark spot started to approach Magnus from the side. So before Magnus could splash attack Yuma, Chaos jumped in the way.

"I'll save you Yuma!" Chaos interjected, pouncing on the Monoblos and slashing his face, redirecting the attackers path and saving Yuma. Magnus abandoned his mission and decided to float on his back, his wings just long enough to touch the sand below the water. So while Magnus floated on his back, Yuma came over and sat on his stomach.

"Attack!" Yuma cried as he repeatedly kicked up water and splashed Magnus in the face. Magnus tried to shield his face with his wings and hands, but Chaos came up from behind his and pulled them back, revealing his face and allowing Yuma to splash it further. Magnus had no choice but to take the slashes to the face and laughed along with Yuma and Chaos to their water fun. And while this was going on Kade talked with Grant and Garrett to ignore the pain, and Randall would occasionally pop into their conversations.

"How are you feeling now?" Grant asked, eyeing Kade's dark patch that currently covered his neck.

"Better." Kade weakly replied. He had to admit, he was doing a lot better. But talking still hurt, and he didn't even want to find out how difficult eating will be.

"You sure?" Randall suddenly said out of nowhere. Grant reacted, flinching back. Garrett just turned all his attention to Randall out of surprise, and Kade suspected he would be coming so he didn't even bother to move and look at their surprise guest.

"Yep." Kade said. For the next couple days, he is just going to reply with short answers, and possibly none at all. So what Kade did was watch his friends and relax.
