Ali shook her head. " I can guess who" She was interrupted as a sHurlup attacked her. She yelled in pain and it bit into her side with its fangs. "get off of me, you beast" She snapped, whipping her tail around and smacking him off of her. the shurlup went flying and smashed through a nearby wall. leaving a large hole.
_
Ali, please stop... that!" Nick said, under diress from Shurlups. "We already have a huge cleanup job facing.. us.. after this.. Bashing them through the walls, is only going to make things worse." he said swinging at the Shurlup with his club.
_ Dixie parried a thrust by a large Shurlup. She could feel its rank breath through her helmet. it was foul and reeked of mold and bad meat It made her queasy, and she stumbled. She stumbled into a direct blow from the Shurlup, which sliced iinto her side with a huge swipe. It didn't break through the armor but it did force it into her skin, and cut into it. She retched in a spasm of pain, and dropped her sword in falling backward. She backed into Scooby, who was being forced back himself. She braced herself agauinst him, and stopped her backwards momentum. this came at Scooby's expense however, as he was forced to turn away from the shurlup, in order to maintain his balance. 'Re rare retting rour rutt ricked" He muttered, as the Shurlup took a swipe at him. There were more Shurlups climbing out of the holes. there was now close to twenty in all. Dixie breathed hard, the cut was probably a deep one, as she could feel the blood dripping down her left leg."It cut me.." She gasped. " We need to get out of here... ret- retreat" She said breathlessly. The loss of blood was begginning to affect her. Heer vision was starting to become blurry, and Scooby took a swipe in the gut. Things were going very badly..

Try your rings!" Stripetail called out. Setting another Shurlup alight with his fire spell. "Do it now!
_ ROK!" Scoobby barked through his helmet. as he pointed his right fist at the shurlup. The Ring began to glowly bright. Scooby began to think.. 'RIRE!" He said loudly, and a blast of flame shoot out of the ring, hitting the Shurlup. This was not like Stripetail's magic, this fire could be put out by rolling on the ground. But it was the best he could think off at short notice. he turned to lok at Dixie, and she collaspsed into his arms. She was really starting to feel the cuts efects, it must have cut into an artery, because it was not stopping. "Take- take off my helmet.. please cousin" She whispered. "I'm about to pass out."
