The moon rouse high in the sky. Jake was tired and the night was cold, the only warmth was from the fire. Jake was on guard duty.

ROAR!

"What was that?" said knuckle Joe.

Then a giant hairy beast with long claws, brown fur, and jagged teeth jumped out with fire red eyes of anger.

Meta-knight lifted his blade and slashed at the beast. Jake quickly tried to stab the beast in the arm. It quickly turned and struck his sword away. Jake couldn't escape as the beast struck him down. It was to fast to hit! Then it striked meta-knight and squashed Joe.

ROAR!

Then a flash of light in the sky charging towards them scared the beast away.

"What's that" mumbled Jake.

Then a star hit the ground in a field and a figure fell off. They ran over to see what it was. There lay a caped figure with a long skull mask with sharp edges at the chin. He then opened his eyes and stood up his eyes glowed yellow. He looked manly and brave… until he talked with his geeky voice. "Hi I'm Mahotsukai" everyone burst into laughter. "What? Hey if it wont for me that THING would have got you!" than the beast walks behind him.

"Well that THING is right behind you!" Mahotsukai looked and screamed then shot fire out of his hands.

"Ha the beast isn't moving strike it!" then Joe kicked as Jake and Meta-knight slashed. They quickly won the battle.

"Cool so you're a mage?" Mahotsukai nodded.

Then another one jumped up.

"Wait that's the guy we fought earlier" then more came.

"There's more! Well let's do this thing!" then they fought.

Mean while up the hill to hooded figures appeared.

The bigger one took of his hood he was Mangalore.

"You see there skilled opponents my apprentice" the smaller one nodded. Then the walked away.

Alex walks out of a hospital room. A large group of wadel-dees looked at him. Alex pointed at some.

"You watch my father, and you", he pointed to 9 of them, "come with me you will help me on my quest"
