Chapter 9 earthquake

Blu was flying through a black tunnel with a light at the end of it.

He was hearing a voice...

"Blu..."

Blu immediately recognized this voice.

Blu: "Jewel?"

Suddenly, the light became so bright that he became blind.

Blu slowly begun to awoke to find his loyal horse friend licking his face.

Blu: "Agro, stop! That tickles!"

Agro obeyed.

Agro: "You were making a nightmare; I wanted to help you."

Blu nodded in understatement before going back on his feet.

Then, he turned his head to see his friends, Rake, Arrancard and Sparky looking at him.

He then walked in front of Arrancard and kneeled to his size.

Blu: "Listen, Arrancard; I must tell you something. It's about the colossus I killed."

Arrancard: "It was a lizard, isn't it?"

Blu looked in shock as Arrancard knew what he was gonna say.

Arrancard: "Rake told me. Don't blame yourself; you simply defended yourself and it was to complete Dormin's quest."

Blu smiled as his friend understood the situation.

Speaking of which, he turned his head toward the hole in the roof ready to heard Dormin talk.

Dormin:" Thy next foe is...

The land where trees nary grow...

It sleeps in a dry lake bed...

A rude awakening."

The sentence finished, Blu immediately turned to Agro.

Blu: "Let's go, Agro!"

He said with jumping on her back.

Agro: "Here we go!"

She screamed with riding out of the shrine followed by Rake in the air.

(I'm gonna skip to the part where they arrive at the geyser zone)

Agro stopped close to a geyser which justly sends a jet of water in the air.

Blu: "Is there a problem, Agro?"

Agro: "No. I just wanna know; do you want to take a shower?"

Blu looked curiously.

He then noticed that indeed, his feathers were covered in mud from his previous fights.

Blu: "Yeah, a little shower would be good."

He said with getting down from Agro, putting his inventory on the ground and walking in front of the geyser.

Once another jet jumped out, Blu putted a bit of his wing in it to discover that it was pretty warm.

Suddenly, he heard a noise from behind him and turned to see that it was Agro.

Blu: "What are you doing?"

Agro: "Nothing; I just want to take a shower too. I'm not very clean neither, you know."

She said with showing some mud on her fur with her hoof.

Blu lightly blushed.

Agro: "Is there a problem?"

Blu: "No. It's just that... I'm not used to take shower with a girl."

Agro giggled.

Agro: "Well, it's not a bad thing, you know."

She said with joining Blu under the water jet.

Then, the two friends cleaned their body with the geyser's water.

Blu was rubbing his body with his wings while Agro was doing the same with her hooves.

After some minutes, Blu noticed that Agro was staring at him with a weird look.

Blu: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Agro: "Oh, for nothing. I-I just found you sexy, when you're wet."

She said with blushing a little.

Blu chuckled.

Blu: "You're aren't bad yourself, you know."

He said which made Agro blush even more as the two went back at cleaning themselves.

After some minutes, the shower was over and the two friends went back on the search for the next colossus.

Then, they arrived close to a huge cave which caught their attention.

Blu: "You think what I'm thinking?"

Agro nodded.

Agro: "Let's see this cave!"

She said with riding toward the cave.

Once they arrived in front of it, Agro immediately stopped.

Blu: "What's going on, Agro?"

Agro: "Do you recognize that sound?"

Blu looked curiously and listened carefully before putting a surprised look on his face.

Blu: "Ho no!"

Suddenly, something came out of the cave; it was a king of huge creature like Quadratus, but in a turtle form.

Despite being chocked by the creature's apparition, Blu managed to talk.

Blu: "AGRO! RUN!"

He didn't have to tell it twice as Agro quickly ran away from the giant monster.

While running away, Blu looked back at the colossus to, surprisingly, see that he was focusing a kind of energy into his mouth.

He immediately understood what he was gonna do.

Blu: "AGRO! RUN IN ZIG ZAG!"

Agro obeyed as Basaran (the colossus's name) shot many energy blasts which Agro managed to dodge.

Agro: "Geez! That was close!"

Blu: "We must find a way to put him down!"

Sometime after, Blu and Agro tried many ways to put the colossus down in vain.

Agro: "Darn it! There is no way to put him down!"

Blu was about to say something, but then, something else caught his attention; the geysers.

Blu: "Could it be... YES! Agro, I know how to put him down!"

Agro: "How?"

Blu: "We need to bring him to one of these geysers!"

He said with showing the closer one with his wing.

Agro: "Blu, you're awesome!"

She said with riding around to get the colossus's attention and make him follow them.

Finally, they stopped as the colossus arrived above the geyser.

All they had to do now was to wait until the geyser sends another jet of water.

Basaran started to charge a blast shoot in his mouth.

Blu: "Wait for it..."

He was sweating just like Agro as the energy into the colossus's mouth was getting bigger.

Blu: "Wait for it..."

Suddenly, just as Basaran was about to shoot, the geyser sends a jet of water under him lifting him in the air and interrupting his shoot.

Blu: "YES!"

However, something was wrong; despite being lift in the air, Basaran used his two right feet to prevent him from falling.

Blu: "AGRO! RIDE, NOW!"

Agro obeyed and ran straight under the lifted body of Basaran.

Once there, Blu quickly took his bow and an arrow in his wings and aimed it at one of Basaran's feet.

He quickly shot his arrow at it before shooting another one at the other.

Basaran lost his balance and fallen on his side making the ground shaking at the impact.

Blu: "QUICK! LET'S GET TO HIM BEFORE HE GOES BACK ON HIS FEET!"

Agro obeyed and ran toward Basaran's belly.

Once arrived in front of it, Blu, who was standing with his feet on Agro's back, jumped and grabbed the colossus's fur, beginning to climb up.

Once he arrived at the top, Basaran managed to get back on his feet.

Luckily, Blu grabbed a part of his shell to not fall down.

Then, he began running on the colossus's back, careful not to fall down as he was shaking hard.

Finally, after a hard running, he arrived on top of the colossus's head and immediately noticed the sigil on his skull.

Without losing a second, he grabbed his fur and used his sword to stab it making the colossus scream in pain each time.

Finally, after 4 stabs, Blu delivered a final one which made the colossus screaming one last time before collapsing on the ground lifeless.

As the colossus's body was getting all black, Blu jumped down ready for what's gonna happen next.

Suddenly, the black tendril went through his body making him feel pain and collapsing to the ground.

The last thing he saw before falling unconscious was Agro and Rake running toward him.
