The shadow people sent to deter Princess ZoZo and friends had the ability to manipulate brains from what brains normally do. Brains are normally able to differentiate reality from the imaginary. The shadows quickly formed into different size and shapes of creatures. Some were with sharp teeth others were with long strangling tentacles but the most feared shape of all was when the shadow people were able to become the shadow of whomever they were sent to scare. Since Princess ZoZo had ballooned up her head so that they can float to their destination, that made her most vulnerable because the larger the brain the greater the power the shadow people had. And with that said, the shadow of Princess ZoZo began to emerge from the darkness. First, you couldn't even tell what it was that was forming. Maybe it was a foot , maybe it was a hand, but nevertheless it was a dark blob to start with. The last to form which seem to pop out of the blob itself was the head of Princess ZoZo.
Shadow ZoZo seem to have latched on as if sewn into the very fabric of Princess ZoZo's existence. The two of them started to toss and turn in the air, throwing a shadow kick here and right hook punch there. But the struggle to gain any ground to defeating Shadow ZoZo seemed next to impossible as they looked pretty much on par with each other.
Well, with all the tumbling and turning and somersaults in the air, it was not long before the rest of the gang lost their hold and started to free fall into the ocean.
"Splash!" was the sound they all made as they hit the surface of the ocean water at the same time.
"Quickly, climb onto my back and get out of the icy water before you all turn into icicles", Wally Whale bellowed to the others. Leo and Beh Beh climbed onto Wally's back and Crocky Dilly Kid took refuge swimming next to one of Wally's large fins. The water seemed to be some kind of deterrent for the shadow people as Leo and Beh Beh shock off the excess water. Now being fully awake, the shadows were no longer so menacing and actually started to retreat. Leo looked down at Crocky Dilly Kid with glaring eyes and a face so stern you would have thought that the lines were chiseled into his face. "I thought you were looking out!"
" I was watching out but I kinda fell asleep." was Crocky Dilly Kid's response.
"How can you be so irresponsible?" Leo roared down at Crocky Dilly Kid
"It's not my fault they came some suddenly and out of no where. You could have stayed awake with me, " retorted Crocky Dilly Kid
"We were suppose to take turns!" Leo was now all teeth and looked like he was going to dive into the water and pounce on Crocky Dilly Kid if it wasn't for the fact that Beh Beh was holding him down with her big white paw.
"Stop arguing about who's fault it is. We need to figure out a solution to help Princess ZoZo" said Wally.
They all turn their attention upward now and it seem as if Princess ZoZo was starting to lose the battle.
"How are we going to help her when we are down here and she is up there?" Beh Beh said with a hint of hopelessness in her voice as she watched the shadow boxing drama unfold.
