Oh. Well then, hm...my idea machine is out of order right now.

how 'bout a bunch of monsters collected somewhere, and trevor, camilla, and ula walk by, then someones screams or something, then Ethan and Mel come to investigate, then the yugolunite?

Yeah, that could work. Heres my part of the Nightmare:
             "Brian!” John hissed. This wasn’t the time to disappear. Thumping in his chest, John’s heart seemed like a swift, pounding, drum. “Brian, if you’re trying to scare me it’s not working!” he lied.
    The swamp didn’t respond. John took a shaky breath and told himself to calm down. This was all a joke, nothing to worry about, it didn’t matter…
    There was a crunch behind him. Whipping around, John could have sworn he saw movement. Just the slightest blur…
    There it was again! John contemplated whether to creep closer or stay put.       
     Either way, he’d be a goner. “Might as well die knowing what’s killing me,” he decided, sneaking towards the area of suspicion. On the ground at his feet was Brian’s camera, still playing.  He picked it up and pressed the stop button. He tried to rewind the film, but it turned out all Brian had caught was a flash of green grass, then a stormy gray sky.

brian is what Im calling the cameraguy for now.

we can call him Brian.


nice   
i think i'm going to start the battle scene if it will work.

Waffle27 wrote:

Okay, you can start the battle scene. What about the AN? Should I write a part where he fight the frogs or something?

er... he's a journalist. and the frog is a ghost. so maybe he somehow escapes?


yayz, battle scenez 
what should Mel turn into??

Mel will turn into a coyote for the battle scene. 
Your occupayition doesn't save you >   Okay, what should the Nightmare have then?/How should he escape?
Oh, I know! He could take the camera and then they would watch it repeatedly and catch a gimpse of the ghost?

maybe he trips, the tongue go over his head, he escapes, and they glimpse the ghost on the camera.

k, i will start on la escena de la batalla

okay, that sounds good.

I would do Trevor, Camilla, and Ula's scene, but I don't want to write the other's characters into the story. I don't think they'd like that.

That sounds really good so far!!!

finished.

i think Ethan is going to have to discover his powers for himself, except for throwing fireballs, which the yugolunite showed him.

The Yugolunite flickered and disappeared. They were on their own. For a second they stood there, frozen. Then Ethan turned around to face the monsters that would soon start moving and attack them. He pulled the pouch off his belt and scattered poisoned caltrops on the ground in front of them. Then pulled out both his katanas. The others followed his lead. Camilla turned into a tiger, Ula into a wolf, and Mel into a coyote. Trevor’s hands sparked with electricity. “Let’s do this.” Ethan said, right before the time wall wore off.

XXXtransitionXXX

With the bubble of frozen time gone, the monsters were now moving. Very quickly. Towards them. Then they stopped abruptly. To them, it looked like five seemingly harmless kids had become much more deadly, and three of them had turned into very mean-looking animals. Then their leader rallied them. Two Cyclops ran towards the group. One was fried to a crisp by Ethan’s fireball, and the other was zapped to death from the bolts of electricity shooting from Trevor’s hand. The monsters hung back at that, reluctant to engage with these creatures that were almost certainly not human. The leader called out threats, and the monsters charged, the first few falling from the fast-acting poison on the caltrops in front of them. The group reacted, charging at the monsters. Then they met. Blood spurted from wounds, and snapping sounds could be heard as tiger, wolf and coyote claws broke bones. Trevor, knowing that electricity could go into his friends if he hit the main group, instead electrocuted any monsters that tried to attack from different directions. Ethan’s katanas were like arcs of light, slicing into any monsters they came across. Monster bodies littered the ground. But the group was not untouched. A long gash ran down Ula’s flank from a myrmeke mandible, and Ethan’s head was bruised from repeated hits from a Cyclops. Even Trevor was injured, with a large cut on the back of his hand. But they were winning. There were barely ten monsters left, and they were retreating. Ethan reached into the pouch at his belt and hurled shurikens into monster’s foreheads and hearts. Trevor zapped them with strong bolts of electricity. And Ula, Camilla, and Mel formed a wedge shape and plowed into the monsters, followed by Ethan, slicing with the bo staff formed by screwing his katanas together, widening the path cleared through the few monsters. Then the only one left was the lead monster. It was a treant, a living, evil oak tree. A bolt of electricity from Trevor stunned it, then it was burned to ashes from Ethan’s fireball. The battle was over.

so now we just need their myrmeke encounter, then the yugolunite, then we can move on 

can we have a skyscraper that's controlled by monsters, then Ethan has to do an intelligence mission in it somewhere in the story? 

i haz an idea. how about the animal morphs use DNA? then if they get injured and morph, their injuries would dissapear, since injuries don't harm DNA. i got it from Animorphs, but i'm not sure if that would be copyright issues or something.

I never heard of ANimorphs until a few weeks ago.
I dunno if that would be copyright issues, because its not like they came up with the idea of humans morphing into animals, not sure about the DNA thing, but we could include it in a credits thing or whatever in our book.

yeah. we probably sould have a credits section in the back.
plus, they didn't rlly come up with DNA. or it not sustaining injuries. i just thought of it because it was in their book.

i've known about animorphs for a few years. i collect them.

In our books it would include:
-Cover (We should have someone do that at the end, maybe a couple of our illustrators so we can pick our favorite after seeing various possibilities)
-Dedication page?
-Table of Contents?
-Book! 
-Arabian Nightmare
-Credits
-About the Authors/collab group

dedication? how would we have a dedicatio page without anyone it needed to be dedicated to? we should probably have a ToC.
