Eli Shane and his friends strolled down a path. They saw Dr. Blakk cornering a young girl next to a ravine. But it wasn't the ravine cornering her; it was a giant wall of ice. The girl had long, curly black hair and wore a light purple dress.
"I've finally brought you to your knees," Blakk said as he loaded a Ghoul and took aim.
"Hey!" Eli shouted. Blakk turned around.
"Eli Shane," he said. The girl got up while Blakk took aim at Eli. But Blakk saw her out of the corner of his eye and spun around and fired. She fell on the ground, unconscious. Blakk got on his Mecha and rode off. Eli took the girl to the hideout.
She woke up, and then panicked.
"Where is my necklace?" she yelled.
"'Who are you?" Eli asked.
"I have to go back!" the girl said.
"Back where? The place where Blakk knocked you out?"
"Yes! He knocked my necklace into the ravine; I have to get it back!"
"Why?" Trixie asked. "It's just a necklace."
"'It is not! Who are you, anyway?" the girl asked.
"We're the Shane Gang. I'm Eli; this is Trixie, Kord, and Pronto."
"Shane? As in Eli Shane?" the girl asked. Eli nodded. "I'm Frina."
"That's a strange name," Pronto said. Frina ignored him.
"So, what's so great about your necklace?" Trixie asked.
"It gives me magic powers," Frina said. Trixie covered her mouth, failing to conceal her laugh. "It gives me the power to shape shift."
"Wow, can I wear it sometime?" Trixie asked.
"No!" Frina said. "Sorry. You can't wear it. Its power would kill you."
"Really?" Trixie said.
"Really. Only Denekks can wield its powers. There are seven Denekks in the world. Each Denekk has a custom made jewel in form of a ring, necklace, or bracelet." Frina could see nobody believed her.
"I guess Blakk's Ghoul hit you harder than we thought," Eli said.
"Come on," Frina said. They followed her to the ravine. To everyone's surprise, she jumped in.
"Frina!" Eli called. They looked down after her. Frina hit the ground hard, but was not injured. The ravine was not as deep as she thought. She walked around, looking for her necklace. Then she saw a flash of blue. She went over to a rock, where a butterfly with a blue gem embedded in the center on a silver chain had landed. She picked up her necklace and put it on. She looked up, to see Eli still watching her. Frina then climbed out of the ravine.
"I thought I finished you off, Frina," Blakk's voice startled all of them. Everyone spun around. Eli had his blaster ready, but Frina motioned for him to lower it.
"What?" Eli said. Frina took a step closer to Blakk.
"You really think one Ghoul could stop me?" she said. "You should know better." Blakk loaded his blaster and took aim. There was a bright blue flash, and in Frina's place stood a silver dragon.
"Frina?" Eli exclaimed. Frina, the dragon, took flight as soon as Blakk fired. Then, he created a wall of ice as soon as Frina breathed fire. The wall protected him from the fire, but not the dragon. She broke the wall. He fired a Ghoul and hit one of her wings. She fell to the ground. Blakk fired one of his "finishing blows". Frina shielded herself with her good wing. Suddenly, a slug fired at Blakk. Blakk dodged it.
"I didn't come here to fight you, Shane, "he said. "I came to fight Frina. And by the looks of it, I won against her." Frina stood there, frozen, in a position in which she bared her razor-sharp teeth at Blakk.
"You call this winning?" she growled softly. "All you did was prevent me from flying."
"I don't see you fighting anymore," Blakk said as he walked away. Frina breathed fire at the ground behind him, then turned human again.
"Are you okay?" Eli asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Frina said.
"If you're hit by a Ghoul that directly, you are not fine," Trixie said.
"Denekks can withstand much more than a mere Ghoul Slug," Frina explained.
