"Alright, enough fooling around, hold on guys!" Latch shouted as he took the wheel. "So what's the problem anyway?"

"Is there any way I can help?" Hotaru asked. "I may be a panda, but I'm sure I can help in some way."

Unfortuantely, by the time Hotaru had got over to Reggie the ship was already crashing through trees, and had crashed not long after. "No there's not."Reggie groaned. "Everyone okay?"He asked. "I am unharmed."Sarkaras said, standing up.

"Oof! Bears are pretty rock-steady, so an impact like this doesn't rattle us as much," Hotaru said. "Latch, what about you."

"Yup, just peachy," he called out.

Reggie headed over to the exit of the ship, with the wall opening and forming into a walk way. Reggie walked off of the ship and surveyed the damage.

"Okay, if we're going to be out here we better search for predators," Hotaru mentioned. "I don't think I have a problem. It's mostly Latch I'm worried about."

"And here we go," Latch groaned, responding to Hotaru's comment.

Reggie nodded. "If we can find a smoek trail we'll be able to track it to a village. Hopefully not an aggressive one."Reggie said. "Sarkaras, you know where we are?"Reggie asked. "No, but from the damage to the trees I believe we are in the territoy of Frothos beast."She said. "Dude, we just crashed through like, every tree in the forest. I think that's from us."Reggie said. Sarkaras shook her head and pointed to the left, where Reggie's ship hadn't touched. She was pointing at an area that had numberous trees uprooted. The trees were smashed, pummeled and flattened. In the center of the trees were several large eggs, easily the size of Hotaru or Sarkaras. "I would suggest we make haste and leave. Frothos beasts are not very kind, especially towards those that approach its nest."Sarkaras said.

"The Frothos beast, how tough are these creatures?" Hotaru asked. "Like what are their strengths? Are they bigger than I? I'm not saying I want to fight them in person, just that I wonder how tough these creatures really are."

"While a Frothos beast can be felled by a team of skilled K'zayl, I do not believe we will fair so well against one. Especially if its the mother Frothos."Sarkaras said.

"Sounds really scary," Latch said sarcastically.

"I... probably would not take my chances with one," Hotaru said. "Considering this is a forest, I would probably have to resort to using my strength and not use my fire roar, or else I might burn the jungle down."

"He shot a fireball at me," Latch mentioned.

"Why did he shoot a fire ba-"Reggie said before a loud thoom echoed through the woods. Sarkaras's eyes widened. "We must leave immediately."Sarkaras said. "Okay so where do we go?"Reggie asked. "Any where but here."Sarkaras said heading off. She stopped when a large stone-like ball slammed into a tree knocking it down infront of her.

"HOLY-HOWZA-WHAT-THE-PETE-SAKE-MINUTE IS THAT!?" Latch cried.

"Let me guess, that's the so called monster you mentioned," Hotaru assumed.

"Yes, it is."Sarkaras said backing up. Soon a large elephant-like foot slammed down onto the tree, snapping it in half. The rest of the Frothos beast appeared. It was almost as large as Reggie's ship. It had tons of armor plating on its legs, back, head, and tail. It had long curved flat horns that came from the head, pointed to the ground. It roared, and slammed its tail into the ground, knocking up rocks and dust. "Frothos beasts thankfully have poor eyesight. As long as we move slowly, and away from the Frothos beast it won't chase us."Sarkaras said.

"Right, I'll be sure to turn Mr. Bleeply off, too," Latch said softly, grabbing at his eye and dulling down the light shining through it.

"Now that I think of it, I don't think fire would hurt that thing anyway," Hotaru mentioned.

The Frothos snarled watching the small group closely. It let out a loud roar, slamming its front legs into the ground.

"Okay, I think it sees us," Latch stated. "Now what?"

"MOVE!"Sarkaras said. The Frothos roared and soon spun around, with its tail swinging down at the group. Reggie grabbed Latch and jumped out of the way, whilst Sarkaras shoved Hotaru out of the way. The Tail slammed down on her. She tried her best to stop the tail but was flattened by the club at the end.

"Hey, why don't you pick on someone who can fight you?" Hotaru asked. Hotaru ran after Sarkaras and tried to shove the tail off her.

The tail moved, though not because of Hotaru's actions. The tail swung, smacking Hotaru and sending him into a tree. The Frothos roared, as a large rock hit its calf. It looked behind itself at Reggie. "Think you could try that fancy laser eye pointer thing?"Reggie asked.

Sarkaras groaned sitting up. She coughed and hacked, glancing down at her armor, which had been thoroughly crushed. Thankfully it was easily removed. She glanced over at the Frothos's nest. She got up and went over to it, looking through the crushed trees, managing to find several spears and a large sword. She took them and glanced around, before digging through the brush.

Hotaru was a big creature. Not as big as the Frothos, but big enough that the tail only sent him staggering into a tree instead of flying right into it. Doesn't mean it didn't hurt though.

"Ha! Just watch," Latch replied. "Where should I fire at? How about the leg?"

"Shoot the leg, that thing's gotta be real heavy, we might be able to get it to hurt itself."Reggie said.
