Outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona
5:00 A.M. pacific time
(Skipper's POV)
"Kowalski status report!," I shouted. "We are approaching the cave that serves as the entrance to Blowhole's base," Kowalski said. "Building a base in the middle of a desert," I said, "Now that is exactly something Blowhole would do!" "Um…but we're not in the desert," Private said. "No we're still in a desert…who builds a city in a desert anyway," I replied. "Um…" Kowalski said, "the egpytains, the Syrians…" Kowalski listed several modern and ancient cultures that have cities in the desert. "Point taken," I replied. "What wrong with Phoenix Arizona?" Private said. "The heat," I said, "this place makes madagascar feel like the artic."
"That would be the fact that we're in a desert," Kowalski said, "and at night it's quiet cold." "Why aren't we here at night then," Private said. "Kowalski," I said, "tell private the reason we're not infiltrating Blowhole's lair at night." "scorpians, venomious snakes, coyotes…Need I contiune," Kowalski said. "What if it turns out Blowhole doesn't have a base here," Private said. "Then we'll get some free scenario training," I replied, "maybe throw in some desert combat drills." "I hear they added that at next year's Elitest of The Elite Competion," Kowalski said. "Ha! The North Wind won't be able to take the heat!" I said. "There also barring the Puffin Intelligence agency from competing and removing the battle simulation round." "Good," I said.
We entered the cave itself and walked into we found an metal door. "DO NOT ENTER! BIOHAZARD!" "Nice try Blowhole," I said. Kowalski hacked into a panel and the door opened to reveal another door with a "WARNING: Enter at your own risk!" "bring it on Blowhole," I said. Kowalski hacked into another panel and that door opened. "DO NOT GO PAST THIS DOOR!" "Oh…" I said, "we are going past this door!" Kowalski hacked into yet another panel and another series of doors opened. "YOU" "HAVE" "BEEN" "WARNED!" the final door read, "No trespassing…violators will be killed." Kowalski hacked into the door and it opened. We entered only to find another door. Unlike the other metal doors in front of it it was made of wood. "hmm…" I said. A message was cut into the wood, "Inturders be warned the only thing beyond this door is death."
Rico hacked up his fourbarrel rocket launcher and blasted the doors done revealing one final door made of iron, copper, and gold. Rico hacked up his crowbar and we carefully broke the door opened. We entered the room belong and found a deep pool of water. A signal walkway was the only way to the other side. Kowalski found a sign, "Foolish intruders beware…a series of dangerous traps lay ahead…including trap doors, viper pits, fire, crossbows, poison arrows, cannons, and spikes." "Skipper…see those pressure pads and trip wires," Kowalski said, "as long as we avoid them we should survive." We carefully traversed the trap filled walkway and entired the final set of doors. A message was carved into a rock, "IF you made it this far then I'm afraid your dead." We kicked the heavy wooden door opened and found ourselves in a chamber fill of treasure. "not interested…" I replied ignoring the treasures. In the back of the chamber was a display case holding the feather of the crystal falcon…and behind that was a indentation in the ground. In the indentation was a large pail of ash. Engraved on the cave wall behind it was a message "BEHOLD THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF THE PHOENIX!"
"This is definitely not blowhole's lair," Kowalski said. "Kowalski the Phoenix won't come back right?" I said. "Well Phoenixes are reborn in fire," Kowalski said, "so as long as we don't light the ash on fire we should be fine." "Oh uh," Rico said. We turned around and saw that the ash in the indentation was now on fire. "Opps," Private said. Rico faceplamed while Kowalski and I crossed our flippers and glared at him. "What…it was cold in here," Private said. The small fire that private started exploded into a massive firey blaze. In the center of the fire the ash formed into an egg with then hatched by exploding into a million pieces. And The Phoenix in all it's firey glory appeared before us. The firebird opened it eyes and glared at us his eye's full of fury.
"Thank you young private," he said as the fire died down, "Now you and your comrades are doomed." "I thought we defeated you!" I shouted. (flashback) "The Falcon was self-absored anyway," The Phoniex replied. "The Snow Queen is mine," The Fire Queen shouted. "That work really well the last time," Private replied. Anna knocked the Fire Queen out with her trademark send Prince Hans flying across the fjord punch. The Fire Queen crumpled and Kowalski returned her to her Universe...well the Doctor did most of the work. "She's lucky I don't like traveling to other universes very often." "So how do we beat The Phoniex," I said. "You can not defeat me!" The Phoniex shouted, "This is a foolish quest!" "For you," Elsa replied assuming her epic Ice Dragon Form. "You think a Dragon can stop me," The Phoniex said, "Those two dragons over there are trembling before me!"
"You know what they say," Elsa replied, "fight fire with ice!" A barrage of Ice was sent The Phoniex's way but he flew out of the way. "He's getting away!" I said running towards North's sleigh. Elsa shot into the air and followed the phoniex, "She's going up there without back up!" Kowalski shouted! "Oh no she isn't," North said grabbing me while Frost hopping aboard. "On comet on cupid on donner on dancer…" "Get on with it!" "Dash away! Dash away all!" North said, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night." "Was that really needed," Kowalski said. "What I can't help it." "Stormfly now!" "Now Toothless!" Astrid and Hiccup shouted. "This should be interesting," The Phoniex said as we attacked. While the Phoniex was distracted Elsa come from behind and froze The Phoniex's wings. "Fools" he boomed, "you will pay for that." He hit Elsa with his claws knocking Elsa from her Dragon form. But Elsa threw the last punch and shot an ice blast at the phoniex's heart. She was caught by Astrid who was following The Phoniex as he fell. "You fools," were the last words The Phoniex said. (end of flashback) "Yes you did," The Phoneix replied, "but fun fact…Phoneix's are born and reborn in fire." The Phoenix picked the four of us up in it's talons and smashed thru the cave's ceiling. The phoenix laughed evilly as he flew off towards the desert.
