The next morning everyone woke up & ate breakfast before planning out where they'd go next. There were still 5 more minions of Zyzzelda to defeat.
"I'm not sure what other minions there are but we must use their weaknesses to our advantage" said Angel.
"The sooner we can free the others, defeat Zyzzelda & her minions & return home the better. I bet everyone's wondering where we are" said Chase.
"It might take us a few days to finish our quest & get home. I'm not sure how we even get back home anyways" said Elias.
"Maybe we'll only return home once we defeat Zyzzelda. The story we were reading was about us after all" said Kelly.
"Good point. Let's get ready to go. We have a witch to destroy" said Ryder.
After everyone finished eating they left the cottage & headed off. Soon they left the Enchanted Forest & headed for the Mystical Beach. It took a while but soon enough they arrived.
"Who do you think we'll find here?" asked Angel.
"I don't know. We'll find out soon" said Chase.
"This beach is beautiful. It's like we're at home" said Elias.
"It sure is peaceful here as far as I can see. What a lovely place" said Kelly.
"Let's keep going. 1 of the pups & 1 of Zyzzelda's minions is likely around here somewhere" said Ryder.
Everyone rode along the beach keeping an eye out for anything. As they walked down the beach they heard Marshall cry out for help.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE. SOMEONE HELP" cried Marshall.
Everyone rushed towards where Marshall's voice came from. They soon found a beach shack surrounded by giant crabs.
"We better be careful. I don't want to get pinched" said Angel.
"As long as we're careful we should be fine" said Chase.
"They'll be tougher to beat than the goblins since they have hard shells" said Elias.
"They'll be no match for our swords. We'll make seafood out of them" said Kelly.
"Let's do this. Come get us crabs" said Ryder.
The crabs began scuttling over to everyone snapping their pinchers. Everyone used their shields to block the crabs as they tried to attack with their swords. Despite their best efforts the crabs' shells proved to be too hard to break.
"This isn't good. How do we destroy the crabs?" asked Angel.
"I don't know. There must be something we can do" said Chase.
"Maybe if we blind them with sand we can take advantage of them" said Elias.
"That's perfect. They'll be blinded by the sand in their eyes making it near impossible to see what they're doing" said Kelly.
"Let's blind some crabs" said Ryder.
Everyone began grabbing handfuls of sand & threw them in the crabs' eyes blinding them. As the crabs recoiled & tried to get the sand out of their eyes everyone hacked their eyes off & began hacking, slashing & stabbing the crabs where they weren't protected by their shells. 1 by 1 the crabs were slaughtered & soon they were all defeated. Everyone then headed over to the shack & went inside. They found Marshall in a cage being guarded by an even bigger crab.
"Guys help. Get this thing away from me" said Marshall.
The giant crab scuttled forward & began trying to pinch everyone. They jumped out of the way & used their shields to avoid the pinchers. They found it hard to attack because of how big the crab was & how quick it moved.
"This crab is really fast. We're in for an uphill battle here" said Angel.
"Those pinchers could probably squeeze us to death" said Chase.
"Perhaps we can do what we did before & blind it with sand" said Elias.
"It's worth a try" said Kelly.
"Let's do it" said Ryder.
Everyone went outside & grabbed handfuls of sand before returning inside & trying to blind the crab with the sand. Despite their best efforts the crab used its pinchers to block the sand. Marshall then noticed the words "NO HOT LIQUIDS ALLOWED" in big orange letters on the wall.
"Guys you need to find a hot liquid. It'll weaken the giant crab" said Marshall.
Everyone began looking around for any hot liquids they could use. They soon found a giant pot of boiling hot oil & dumped it on the crab. The crab screeched in agony & pain as the oil burnt it. Everyone then made their move & hacked, slashed & stabbed the crab to death with their swords. Marshall was then freed from his cage.
"Thanks for rescuing me. I would've been crab food if I hadn't gotten out of there" said Marshall.
"That's 2 minions & pups we've destroyed/rescued. There are still 4 more each before we take on Zyzzelda. We better get some rest. It'll be a long day tomorrow" said Ryder.
Everyone had some food as they set up camp in the shack. Zyzzelda watched them in her crystal ball.
"Those rotten kids & pups have destroyed another minion & saved another 1 of their friends. If they think beating me & my remaining minions will be that easy they'll be in for a nasty surprise. I will become ruler of Pawmerica if it's the last thing I do" said Zyzzelda as she cackled evilly. Back in the shack everyone settled down to sleep. As Elias went to bed he thought about what the next part of their quest would have in store for them.
"It's anyone's guess as to what we'll deal with next. Regardless of where we go, what minions we face & which pup we save we're not letting Zyzzelda win. She's like an eviller version of Sweetie. Once this is all over Pawmerica will be safe from her tyranny & we'll be back home where we belong. We're ready for anything Zyzzelda throws our way" thought Elias as he drifted off to sleep.
