Frank

Frank was already having a crappy day with Gaia's onslaught, being thrown of the ship with Hazel and Jason only made it suck more. He was free-falling toward the ground at top speed. Thats when he remebered that he could shape-shift. He changed into the first thing he could think of that could support him and Hazel; a pegasus. Not the best choice of animal, but it could fly and support Hazel.

He flew next to Hazel, and whinied at her to get on. She threw her arms around his neck, and down they flew. Out of the corner of his pegasus eye he spotted Jason, slowing his fall with the help of the winds, but was clearly tired and was staggering. Frank was exshausted also, the battle had taken a lot out of him. He wasn't even entirely sure he could hold his form for long.

They finally touched the ground after five minutes or so of sudden drops, spinning ou of control, and losing form a couple of times. They all collasped on the ground right as they made contact, and Frank changed back to his human form. They all looked up at the sky, and Jason said,"Well that sucked."

Hazel gave him a look, and Jason held up his hands in defense. "What? We were all thinking it."

"He has a point Hazel," Frank said, taking Jason's side,"That really did suck." Hazel sighed defeated.

"I guess you're right, but we have to figure out a way to get to the Argo II, or at least find a way to contact them,"she said. She got up, and looked around as if she was checking to make sure a monster wouldn't pop up unexpctedly, which could quite possibly happen. She turned to them again,"You guys think you could bring us back up there right now?" she asked.
Frank shook his head. "Not at least for a couple of hours. I'm more exshausted than when we barely we're able to escape from Epirus." Jason shook his head also.

"Same here, that fight took a lot out of me, plus the VERY bumpy trip down took almost all the energy I have left." Hazel sighed, she looked very anxious to get back to the Argo II. We all are, Frank thought. Every time any of them were on the ground, all hades broke loose.

"What hit us any way?" Frank asked. It had been so sudden, he hadn't even had time to see what they were up against.

"I don't know, but whatever did hit us, it was big. No normal run-of-the-mill monster could have hit the Argo like that. That's why I'm worried; we need to get back up there and help them with whatever the hades was that thing," Hazel said. She was right. Not just any mo ster could have hit the Argo like that. Their friends were in danger while they were all here stuck on the ground like sitting ducks. He stood up.

"We'll, we can't stay here, Gaia, if not already, will locate us soon if we just stay here; we have to keep moving." Hazel and Jason both nodded, and then stood up. They all started walking east, being as where the rest of them would be headed anyway. They had only walked for a couple of minutes when, GROWL. The sound was unmistakable. A loud, clear growl came from the surrounding trees.

Frank drew his bow while Hazel and Jason drew their weapons. They were able to pinpoint the sound to a piece of shrubbery to their left. They all tensed, ready to kill any thing that came out of that bush.
Then came stumbling out a chihuahua, gazing up at them with amazingly cute puppy dog eyes. They all relaxed, and Hazel even cried out a little,"AAAAWWWWHHHH!" They all looked at each other and laughed.

"Are we really beginning to be that synical?" Jason asked,"To accuse a chihuahua of being a monster?"

"I guess we are," Frank said, letting his gaurd down. Then all of a sudden, he heard a,"RRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWHHHHHH!" Then Frank was on the ground, a full-sized Hellhound mouth inches from his face. The chihuahua had somehow fully transformed into a gigantic Hellhound, who's intent seemed to be to bite Frank's head off.

"HELP! GET IT OFF ME! IT'S TRYING TO BITE MY FACE OFF!" he cried. Both Hazel and Jason were both completely frozen from shock, but soon recovered and dove in to help him.

It was like trying to sumo wrestle with an earthborn; incredibly difficult. Frank was trying not to get his face bitten off while trying to avoid being stabbed by Hazel and Jason, who were trying to pry the thing off of him. Frank knew if he didn't transform, it would be hopeless, but he was really, really low on energy. So he made a choice.

Frank summoned all his power and transformed into a rhinouserous. He threw the Hellhound off of him and rammed him against a tree. It disinergrated into dust soon after that. Frank was able to change back human, but everything was going dark. He staggered under his weight. He heard Hazel call out his name, but it was too late; he was already fading into an inky darkness.
