"No, we will discuss this later." Flounder said as he stabbed the throat of a suffering creature.

Karin turned and threw her frying pan at the flaming spikes before pulling out two more knives and slashing at anything that came at her. "Don't die! You said you would fight me later!" She stabbed a couple more lizards with the kitchen knives and threw a steak knife into some serpent-guy's head.

Phillip snorted and smirked. "I see you're not squealing over some silly grubs from the ground," he gave a toothy grin, "or are you? ELLA!"

The ground rumbled and then giant roots split the ground open. Worms, grubs and beetles went flying through the air and landed all over Charles. The ice Phillip had sent up from the ground, shielded him. He stomped a foot on the ground and ice spurt out, like a virus, seeking the dragon's warmth. It grew up the monster's legs and Phillip swung his large blade, sending millions of shards of ice headed right for the dragon.

Ella was still stringing up lizards, crushing them, impaling them, tearing them apart. All with a smile on her face. Nymph Ella was more animal than human. A creature of dark impulses and desires. Like all nymphs.

" well to bad. Maybe we can talk after i kill some of those lizard freaks.!" Duck grumbled

Charles had countered attack with a big blast of fire. Before he did,he flicked a grub from his shoulder in an cailm manner. " teh,you Phillip, your just like grub.." his body temperature started to flare up again, melting the ice." Urg...i lost sight of him.." the hybrid snarl and flew up

James: I look at the couch and groan "He left? Couldn't even wait for me to finish my beer, for his sake, he better hope that Charles got him." I walk outside, walking in-between the lizard guys.

"Too bad," he grinned, "I sort of liked the girly you." Charles tried to fly up but Phillip wasn't going to let him off so easy. Ella sent springing vines up, to wrap around Charles' wings, binding them together. Phillip slammed his blade into the ground, sharp ice shooting up, reaching for Charles. If he fell as they hoped he would, he'd be encaged in ice so thick and so cold, it wouldn't be melted so easily. But just to make sure, the Demon Warriors lent their Prince their power, rock going to surround the ice, metal going to surround the rock, water going to surround the metal, wind surrounding the water, and fire surrounding the wind all in spheres around other spheres.

The ultimate prison. It would give them time to figure out how to reverse whatever had been done to Charles. They didn't want to kill him. But if he couldn't revert, they might have to. Red and Wolf were good at books and knowledge about obscure things, right? Maybe they'd be able to find something. Ariel and her friends were good at talking to a great deal of powerful people, so maybe they'd find something too. Karin had knowledge about powerful magic, maybe she'd know how to assist as well. And obviously Duck had what Charles' wanted. He could pacify any major threat to any other land by keeping Charles occupied here, giving him a reason to stay in one place. Ella and Phillip were more like guards. They didn't have access to the resources the others did. Ella was just a forest nymph and Phillip could only pull so many strings.

Charles had shot flames at the prison. " come on..really?" He said witg a sigh and tapped his foot in the ground. " oh...thats it..." he said with a smirk.

"humpty dumpty sat on the wall..humpty dumpty had a great fall...the normals are so silly...why would i be sitting on a wall?" A low voice said

Crater sat up,seeing a white cloaked male in front of him." Wait....i know that voice..."

" hey flounder! But me down man! I gotta fight those losers.!" Duck grumbled

When Flounder got to the beach he handed duck a small glass bottle of what looked like murky water. "Drink that, hurry up." He said as Sebastian submerged himself and after swallowing a mouthful of seawater grew a tail "Come on, we don't have all day!" He shouted, Flounder tapped his foot on the sand and waited.

" what the hell?! Is this some kind of voodoo water or something? " he drunk abit of it

It would taste sour and his mouth would burn as Flounder forced him to drink the rest and carried him into the water, when he touched it his legs would start burning and eventually a tail would appear. "Good, now lets get going." Flounder said as he submerged them both and took a mouthful of the salty water as well. "Start swimming Duck." He said as his tail started to form and he gently grabbed Duck's hand as they soon started to swim with Sebastian behind.

Duck followed behind the two, slightly confused." Where in the world are going? !"

"To the palace, I told you this." Flounder said slowly as they moved forward.

" look, i dont have any reason to be stuck in some palace! " He started to get annoyed

Karin straightened up from repeatedly stabbing a few more lizards. "Haaah... I hope this fight ends soon. I don't know how much more this body can take." Indeed, she was losing energy fast, and it was becoming even more clear just how ill suited her form was for fighting. On the upside, she seemed to be able to move pretty quickly as long as she had the energy, but a severe lack of stress durability and generally delicate form made it hard to fight effectively for very long. She was breathing hard and running purely on adrenaline now, though she was still determined to keep going until the threat was neutralized.

Flounder nodded and let go of his hand. "Go back then."

At home Ariel was wandering the streets and soon she found a strange man that appeared to be drunk walking. "Sir?"

James: I walk down the road, wondering where I am...

Gretel starts to brush of the steps to her house as Hansel carves a figure into a wood piece. For good luck he would carve a cat and then toss it in the fire place and watch it burn for streght he would carve a bear. And so on Gretel couldn't carve so she swept the kindling of the path.

Ariel continues to follow him and soon stops him. "Sir!"

Karin walked over to look at the prison that Phillip and the others had made. It looked pretty strong, to say the least. "Well, I should hope that nothing could break out of that. Otherwise I suppose we may be a bit outclassed here." Noticing the frying pan from earlier lying a ways away, she picked it up and looked it over. It was pretty dented. "Ella, I may owe you some new kitchen utensils."
