SHELBY

Page Two

The crate Shelby was lending against is slowly moved away.  Shelby quickly hides under the tarp.  She sees a mysterious figure, draped in a black robe, move another crate.  This time a small one.  It opens the crate and gives a satisfied low laugh.  The mysterious figure walks away with the small crate.  Shelby is outrage.  He's stealing it.  Shelby tries to get Koda and Chase's attention, but they are too far off and don't hear her. Shelby decides to go after the figure herself.  The mysterious figure places the small box on top of a rock.  It is very pleased as it has finally found it.  The mysterious figure is distracted by a flash of pink that went by.  It yells, who's that?  The mysterious figure gets no response, and in the meanwhile Shelby has made it hiding by the rock with the small crate on top, concludes it must be hearing things.  The figure turns around, just as Shelby grabs the small crate.  It yells, get back here, as it fires at Shelby.  Shelby keeps running and managing not to get hit.  Furious, the figure fires a powerful blast.  The blast surrounds Shelby, causing her to drop the crate and fall to the ground.  The mysterious figure states, no one steals from me, as it walks closer to Shelby.  Swinging by rope, Tyler states, think again, and snatches the crate off the ground.  Tyler lands on the ground and asks Shelby if she is okay?  Tyler introduces himself as he helps Shelby up.  He reads her name tag and comments, Shelby Triceratops.  Catchy name.  Shelby asks, where did you come from?  Tyler replies, you know, just in the neighborhood.  Shelby points out, there is no neighborhood.  Tyler chuckles and passes her the small crate.  The mysterious figure reaches them and removes it clock, revealing himself to be a monster (Iceage).  Shelby asks, what is that thing?  Tyler replies, I don't know.  Met him in a cave.  But he sure wants that box.  Tyler dramatically reaches into his backpack and pulls out a banana.  He quickly tosses it aside and then pulls out underwear.  Shelby pretends not to notice and embarrassed, Tyler tosses it aside as well.  He reaches back dramatically and this time removes a small shovel.  Shelby asks, what?  You're going to dig us an escape tunnel?  Iceage yells enough and fires at them both.  The shovel manages to block the blast, and Tyler is pretty pleased with it.  Even Shelby is impressed.  Iceage continues to fire at them and Tyler manages to keep the blasts away with his shovel.  He even manages to knock one of the blasts back at Iceage.  Iceage is hit and is knocked against a tree, before landing on the ground.  Tyler and Shelby are very happy until they see the shovel is in flames.  Iceage gets back up and threaten them, you'll paid for that.  Tyler tells Shelby, your turn for an idea.  Shelby steps forward and states, fire at us and you might destroy your precious thing in this crate.  Tyler whispers, do you know what's in the crate?  Shelby has no idea.  Iceage responds, what I want will survive.  You won't.  Iceage fires at them again.  Explosions erupt around them and they both fall to the ground.  Shelby drops the crate and the contents spill out, including a pink crystal that looks a lot like the red one Tyler had found.  Tyler's crystal has also been dropped.  Iceage is happy to find two Energems.  This is better than I hoped.  The two Energems begin to glow.  Shelby tries to reach for the pink one while Tyler tries to reach for the red one.  Iceage sees them and threatens, don't even think about it.  Iceage uses his freeze blast on Shelby and Tyler.  They are quickly frozen.
