The gang had a good meal and all but now, they all was summon at last to see Santa for his plane for the search of the stones and all was good and ready to go. Jake was the one that was excited to go and wonder where he will go first.
"Ok gang it is time for you to start your journey at last but I will have to split you all up in two group if you do not mine." Santa began to say.
Every one was silent. No one said a word. They were all ears. Jake was not sure what but he wanted to know were he was going badly.
"Luigi, Jake, comes forward." Santa said. Jake and Luigi did so they were in the front of all the others. Luigi, this is a hard one for you but I believe you and your group can handle this one. You, Sonic Lucario and Jena will be searching for the water stone it is lost in the ocean somewhere and it could be on an island. However, the Icestoned should guide you to it some how."
"Jake I want you to search for the moonstone ok, it is hidden somewhere in the New York City. I am not sure where but the sunstone should help you find it. Your group will be the people that you met at Denver."
"Santa you think it is a good idea to have me Spyro and Cynder out in the open like that?" Rudolph asks in worry.
Santa had a sad expression on his face. The city been attack by Glints evil dragon pawns. The people have flee the city I am afraid and many have also have been captured and are hidden In the city and I think Jake should know this. Jake, your father has been taken prisoner. I do not know how he got captured or got there but I have heard from the wind sprit that he has." Santa said glumly.
Jake's jaw drop and he was in shock of the news." Dad." Jake whispered to him self." I have to save him Santa. I have to get to New York City as soon as I can!" Jake panic.
Calm down Jake he is alive I assure you. But you will not be able find him that simple Jake the city is huge and many building had bin knock down and it is a mess down There and I need you to have one more person with you to join the group. I have sent Clarice to bring another brave man to help you on your mission Jake. He should be hear right now."
The door open and a person with a hood on, step in the room along with Clarice who was right behind the stranger. He took his side by Jake.
Ahhh…good timing my friend I believe Clarice has told you why we need your help am I right?" Santa Chuckled
The hooded man look at Santa and smile but is could not be seen. "Yes." The man simply said. That is when the man remove his hood to show him self and Luigi and Jake was the one to see him who he was.
"Link!" Both Jake and Luigi said at the same time. Link turn to look at Jake who had his jaw drop and staring at Link with wide eyes. Link then seen Luigi. Link smiled at the green Plummer.
"Hello Luigi it nice to see you my friend I hope you holding strong." Link said kindly.
Luigi went to Link to shake his hand and Link gladly took it.
Jake still was stun. After Links greetings with Luigi. Link looks at Jake and smiled at him as well.
You must be the one name Jake I believe. Well, not what expect but who am I to judge. I see that you have a sword. Are you skilled in the way of it young sword men?" Links ask. As he brought his hand out to Shake Link hand. Jake closed his mouth and look with pride and shook with a smile on his face.
"Wow Link I...I can believe your here and……Wow this so c..c..cool!" Jake stuttered. Link could help but smiled and Chuckled at Jake's behavior. Even every one chuckled at Jake. Jake look embarrass.
"Listen up every one." Santa began to say witch got every one attention. "Now that Link is here he will be going with Jake. Clarice, since you have the same ability as Rudolph who can open portables to other world that I gave you and to be fast you will be going to help Luigi groups is that aright?"
Clarice giggled. "Of course I help them Santa and I have no problem with that at all Clarice said and look at the group she will be going with. And smiled. I will do my best to help as much as I can."
Santa smiled and took out two small red bags and gave one each to Luigi and Jake for their group. Link, Jake Luigi know what is this bag is for and it will come in handy for you it hold many and many item that you will need.
Jake look it the red bad and look in side. His face had a disappointed look. "Umm Santa?" Jake began to say. I do not think you put any thing in it Jake laugh nervously.
I show you how it works later Jake just hold it for now Rudolph chuckled. Jake shrugged and put the bag in his backpack that Shadow had on him. Which will make it much easier for Jake to withdraw his sword when need to. And shadow did not mine at all of the back being on him he kind of like to have it and it was just right for the backpack to stay put and not slide to his side.
"Umm. Santa I have one more thing to say before I go, and it you not mine asking and this is of the subject Ummm.. am I still on your good list Jake ask Sheepishly with a nervously smile as he scratch his head.
Santa smiled. I'm sorry Jake your not. when a boy or girl no longer remember me and believe no more and the wonderful world of the north pole the name of the these children on my list are no longer on, it disappear with out me doing any thing but in my heart the name never leave me but I have no right to interfere unless I have a good reason to see them or bring them here and you are one of them for the most greatest reason of so far but, I still make it out of my way drop of a few gift for you my dear boy.
But that all I can share with you all for now. It is time for you to get going when you are ready I must go and search for the Starstone and I must leave now say your good bye to each other and be ready to make your move and be careful.' Santa said and said his good bys to all the heroes and disappeared the wind.
Jake look at the empty spot that Santa was in and was stun. "Woe, I never knew Santa could do that." Jake said in awe.
******************************************************************
Are heroes were out side of the shop in the snow and was saying their good bye to the other group. Rudolph was now looking at Clarice as she talk to Luigi of what they plan to go and search. Jake saw this, smirks, and went by Rudolph.
"So Rudolph are you still scared to tell her how you feel yet." Jake chuckled
Rudolph turns to look at him and had an embarrassing look on his face. Moreover, he look around if any one else was hearing this then he look at Jake. "Well Jake between you me I was never in love with her, I was just happy to have her as a friend she was the only one that was truly a friend to when I was taking lesson to fly and all.
I guess now that we are older I have more deeper feeling for her now Jake and you're the first person I told you this so do not say a word please." Rudolph with his head down and playing with the snow digging it with his hove in it.
Jake smiled and pet Rudolph on the side of the neck. "You should tell her how you feel right now. who knows you may not be able to see her again. I know I should not say that but just incase Rudolph it may be your last." Jake said and turn to say good bye to the others.
Shadow and Jena nose touch each other. I guess you can say that is how wolves kiss. "I will miss shadow. Make sure you are safe and protect Jake. I know how much he means to you but I still want you to be careful." Jena said and licks him on the cheeks.
I will be fine Jena it is Jake I am worry about he is never careful." Shadow chuckled "I to want you to be careful Jena I want to come with you and all but Jake need me more. I hope you under stand. Jena I do love." Shadow said and gave her a lick on the cheek.
Well this did not go how I want it to be but so it sound good I hope. Well enjoy
I do understand Shadow do not worry about it I will be fine." As the two wolf couple talk Rudolph took a big gulp and went forward to talk to Clarice who was talking to Luigi still. As he got close to them, both Clarice and Luigi turn to look at him.
"Umm Luigi may I talk to Clarice alone for a moment please I have to tail her something." Luigi smiled nodded and went to say his good bye to Spyro and Cynder.
Clarice….I want you be careful when your are out there. I do not want you to get hurt ok." Rudolph said shyly. Clarice smiled and went closer to rub her head under Rudolph chin. Rudolph did not see this coming. But he soon smiled and could smell a musky smell that Clarice had which Rudolph like.
"I will be fine Rudolph; I can take care of self you know I can." Clarice said as she stop rubbing her head on him to look in to Rudolph's eyes. He to stared in her eyes he felt loss in them he was in love with her.
"Clarice, I…want you to know that I…lo…I love you…with all my heart I wish to be with you for the rest of my life that is if you want to as well." Rudolph said boldly
Clarice was taken back of what Rudolph just said. "Rudolph, I…you know I want to be with you for the rest of my life for I love you as well." Clarice wisped happily to Rudolph.
Rudolph smiled and lick her on the cheeks. Clarice did the same to Rudolph and both reindeers' touch nose to each other.
Jake smiled at this and was happy for them he then at the sky. He wonders if his brothers are ok as well. Jake hope his father was fine and nothing bad has happen.
He remember that day of the plain crash when he and his two brother thought they loss him for good. But after there adventure on Dinotopia and the searching of the sunstones that they need to power up the island before it broke apart and be destroyed he and his brother went beneath the earth or so they think they were but in the cave of the thousands and thousand of sunstone. That's where they shockingly discovered their missing father Frank Scott, was alive and hiding and missing this whole time.
Now Jakes father was missing again but he knows he's alive or so that is what Santa has told him. "I'm coming dad I will save you and I will help save this world."
Link walk behind Jake and put a hand on Jake shoulders. Jake turn to see who it was and Smiled.
"Do not worry Jake I will help you fine your father he is alive still just like Satan has said do not worry." Link said warmly Jake nodded in agreement.
Luigi went up to Spyro and Cynder to say good his bye to them but be he did both dragon tackled him to the ground playfully.
Luigi was surprise that they did that but could help but laugh as he got back up to look at the two dragons.
" You two be safe now Spyro, Cynder do not let any one out of your sight be close and be strong for one another. Luigi said gently to them.
"You know we will and same for you Luigi we know you be fine." Spyro said and rap a wig over Luigi and rub Luigi chest with his head and step back for Cynder to do the same thing.
I hope we all fine the stones soon and make sure we get it back to the sky temple. Cynder said as she and Spyro went back to jakes group. Every one said their good bys and went to the group they belong to.
Clarice opens her portal and before she went in she look at Rudolph who was looking at her as well. She blush and went in to the misty portal and all and her group followed.
Rudolph sigh and open his and went it to the misty portal that will lead them to new York city. Jake was the first one go in then Shadow, Spyro, Cynder, Link then Rudolph.
"I hope I do see you again Clarice, I really do love you now and now I miss you." Rudolph sigh and jump in to the portal.
Hope you all like it but got to go for now. so see you soon.
