The next morning everyone woke up & planned out the next part of their quest. After figuring out where to go next & eating breakfast they left the beach & continued their quest. Sometime later they arrived at Ochre Canyon. The canyon was big & everyone felt like they were in a trench or deep pit.

"This canyon is huge. I've never seen such a big gap like this before" said Angel.

"Me either. I feel like an ant in this place" said Chase.

"I'm not sure which of the pups could be here but we should have no trouble defeating Zyzzelda's next minion" said Elias.

"These minions are easy to beat. We'll have them dealt with in no time" said Kelly.

"The sooner we can go home the better. This place really makes me feel uncomfortable" said Marshall.

"So far there's nothing here. This has to be 1 of the most deserted places in Pawmerica" said Ryder.

As everyone continued through the canyon they heard Rocky calling for help.

"HELP ME. I WANT TO GO HOME" cried Rocky.

Everyone headed in the direction of where they heard Rocky's voice. They soon came across a shelter surrounded by lizards.

"Looks like we're not the only group here. Those lizards don't seem too harmful though" said Angel.

"Appearances could be deceiving. They might be dangerous" said Chase.

"If we play our cards right we'll have them dealt with easily. Our swords should cut them down to size" said Elias.

"I bet Rocky's being guarded by a giant lizard in that shelter" said Kelly.

"The thought of it makes my skin crawl. Let's just get this over with" said Marshall.

"Time to kill some lizards" said Ryder.

The lizards noticed everyone & scurried towards them. They tried to use their swords to hack, slash & stab the lizards but the lizards kept scurrying out of harm's way. Then they noticed giant rocks nearby. They grabbed the rocks & began throwing them onto the lizards. 1 by 1 the lizards were crushed by rocks until they were all gone. After dealing with the lizards everyone entered the shelter. Rocky was being held in a cage being guarded by a giant lizard.

"Yay you're here. You have to defeat that giant lizard to set me free" said Rocky.

The giant lizard rushed forward & tried to stomp on everyone. They jumped out of the way & attempted to use their swords to hack, slash & stab the lizard to death. This had almost no effect on it. As they tried to figure out how to deal with the lizard Rocky noticed the words "NO GIANT ROCKS ALLOWED" written in big yellow letters on the wall.

"Guys find a giant rock. You can crush the lizard with it" said Rocky.

Everyone went outside & found a huge rock on a ledge nearby. They climbed up to it & began luring the lizard towards them. Once the lizard was in place they pushed the rock onto it which crushed it to death. After dealing with the giant lizard everyone returned inside & freed Rocky from the cage.

"Thanks for getting me out of there. I thought that lizard was going to eat me" said Rocky.

"You're welcome. 3 minions down & 3 to go" said Angel.

"Once we defeat the remaining minions & rescue Rubble, Skye & Zuma we just have to beat Zyzzelda" said Chase.

"We're making good progress so far. We'll complete our quest in the blink of an eye at this rate" said Elias.

"What do you think we'll deal with next?" asked Kelly.

"I don't know. All I want is to go home" said Marshall.

"We better get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow" said Ryder.

Everyone set up camp in the shelter & began eating dinner. Zyzzelda watched them in her crystal ball.

"Rats. Those little brats have defeated half my minions. They're only doing it through sheer luck. My remaining minions will make sure they never get to me. I will be queen of Pawmerica no matter hat happens" said Zyzzelda as she cackled evilly. Meanwhile everyone began turning in for the night. As Elias went to bed he thought about how well he & the others were doing.

"We're all making good progress in our quest to defeat Zyzzelda. Soon Pawmerica will be safe from her wrath. It's like we're trying to save Barkingburg from a villain like Snommis or Sweetie. Zyzzelda better be scared. We're not going to show her any mercy once we get to her. She'll be lucky to escape this quest alive" thought Elias as he fell asleep.
