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.
tHE sHADOW pEOPLE
They were floating for not long when the sun started to sink into the ocean depths for another night and the darkness began to creep along the ocean floor.
"Crocky Dilly Kid, I think we need you to keep your eyes WIDE OPEN for the night", said Leo.
"No worries Leo, you can count on me," and Crocky Dilly Kid opened his crocodile eyes even wider to illuminate their way in the dark. From a distance, all you would see are two large glowing objects that you might even mistake for the lights on a plane. Soon the sound of the ocean waves were moving in a sing song manner and had Crocky Dilly Kid yawning and fighting to stay awake.
"I'll just close my eyes for a few seconds, they wouldn't even know" Crocky Dilly Kid thought to himself. He let out another yawn, closed his eyes and soon was snoring and drooling away.
Far in the distance in the Land of Far Far Away the Wizard Lord had already caught wind of the rescue attempt and had sent forth his Shadow workers. These Shadow workers can only work in the dark and so without Crocky Dilly Kid's illuminating eyes, the Shadow Workers had nothing to worry about.
Shadow workers are an interesting bunch of creatures. They can take the shape of almost anything. And so they came riding the tail of the wind and quickly they started their task to try and frighten the group of LongYi rescuers.

Rescuing LongYi the Dragon
Once upon a time in a land called Zodo lived a Princess named ZoZo. Princess ZoZo isn't any ordinary princess as she possesses magical powers and some which she didn't know she pocessed. On this day, Princess ZoZo was venturing outside her white castle walls with her friends, Mr. Wally Whale, BehBeh, Crocky Dilly Kid and Leo the lion. As usual Crocky Dilly Kid and Leo were at it tumbling and rolling to see who was the tougher of the two and creating a humungous amount of dust such that you couldn't see two inches from your own face. Suddenly, far in the distance came Bun Bun running as fast as he can, panting out of breath by the time he reached the 5 of them.
"P...P...P....P," Bun Bun tried getting out the words.
"Catch your breath first Bun Bun. What do you want to tell us in such a rush?" Said ZoZo.
"P..P..P...Princess ZoZo, there is news from the land of Far Far Away that LongYi the dragon has been captured and is about to be sacrificed in the next few days."
At this point, both Crocky Dilly Kid and Leo stopped their play fighting and said simultaneously,
"Who would do such a thing?"
"The wizard lord. There is word that he has gone crazy as he is scared of his own death and so he plans to make the "dragons breath" potion. It is said that those that drink the dragon's breath potion will have lasting eternal life"
"What a silly wizard. We will just have to go and save LongYi." said ZoZo
"But how are we going to get there in the next few days, we won't make it in time" said BehBeh as she anxiously looked at the others.
"Not to worry BehBeh. From the looks of it, there is an easterly wind that is picking up" and with that said Princess ZoZo took a deep breath and blew into her thumb and soon her head started to grow bigger and bigger like a hot air balloon.
"Come on, hang on to me! We should get to Far Far Away Land in a day by flying there" By this time ZoZo had to shout down to her companions to quickly grab hold of her!
"P...P...P....P," Bun Bun tried getting out the words.
"Catch your breath first Bun Bun. What do you want to tell us in such a rush?" Said ZoZo.
"P..P..P...Princess ZoZo, there is news from the land of Far Far Away that LongYi the dragon has been captured and is about to be sacrificed in the next few days."
