New chapter, Same Craziness
Enjoy
Spyro and Johnny had been brought to the arena sooner than they had expected. Oddly enough, Cynder and Sparx were with them. They had been standing outside the gate leading to the coliseum for a while now, waiting for someone to let them in.
"Guests of the arena" the orange parrot's voice rang. "We have just received exciting news about some of our combatants. Shall we bring them out?"
A loud cheer erupted as the gate opened. The trio stepped out nervously out into the arena.
"It has come to our attention that rumors have been going around that these three are of great importance" the red parrot yelled. "So tell us: what kind of greatness can you offer? Ah don't answer that! The only thing great you have to show us… is GREAT PAIN!"
"Bring out the Executioner" the orange parrot yelled.
The door under Skabb opened once more. What appeared to be a giant Roman gladiator but fatter stepped out and laughed right at them.
"This… can't be good" Sparx moaned.
The gladiator started the fight by charging straight at them, swinging its sword wildly. They managed to jump out of the way and began launching attacks at the creature. However, it kept using the shield it was carrying to block the attacks.
"Now what" Cynder asked.
"We need to get rid of the shield" Spyro told them.
"Easier said than done" Sparx laughed.
"I'll handle it" Johnny said, letting Cynder backhand Sparx with her wing.
Johnny then reached out and grabbed the shield telekinetically, making it rise into the air. The gladiator, noticing what was going on, let go of the sword and grabbed the shield with both hands and Johnny threw it towards the wall, making crash into it before dropping into the poisonous water that was surrounding the arena.
"Uh… well, not how I had planned it, but it still worked" Johnny shrugged.
"Well, well, it seems we are amongst greatness aren't we" the red parrot said mockingly. "These three have defeated everything that we could throw at them".
This caused a new wake of jeering at the group.
"Fret not, o faithful fans" the orange parrot said, restoring order. "Tonight… we have a special bonus match. These three will fight against each other to determine the true champion!"
The crowd started cheering at the sudden addition of the new fight. Spyro, Cynder, and Johnny looked at each other and sighed.
"Just like old times, huh guys" Cynder asked with a kind of dry humor behind it.
"Yeah" Spyro laughed. "But how are we going to get out of this?"
"Relax you guys" Johnny said. "Just put on a show while I try to figure a way out".
Unfortunately they never got a chance to execute this plan. At that precise moment, a small group of Dreadwings dropped in from out of nowhere and started bombing the ship. Spyro, Cynder, and Johnny were blown apart when one of the bombs exploded in front of them, though Spyro and Cynder were standing right next each other.
"What's going on" Spyro coughed.
The smoke from the fires the bombs caused was making it hard for them to see. Not only that but they couldn't tell why the Dreadwings were attacking them.
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing" Johnny's voice said through the noise.
Spyro and Cynder looked up in shock. One of the Dreadwings had grabbed Johnny and was holding him in a position where he couldn't fight back. They also saw what seemed to be the armor from the attack on the Temple signaling the retreat.
"Guys" Johnny yelled down to his friends. "I'm in trouble! I need assistance!"
"Johnny" Cynder screamed.
She tried to chase after the Dreadwings, but Sparx managed to get in front of her.
"Whoa, slow down, Cynder" he yelled over the noise. "I like your enthusiasm but we have to worry about our own safety".
"I don't care" Cynder cried. "Johnny never turned his back on me and I'm not going to turn my back on him".
"Cynder, Sparx is right" Spyro said. "Johnny can take care of himself. What's important right now is getting out of here before it's too late".
With a heavy heart, Cynder followed Spyro and Sparx through the entrance they went through and down the tunnel. The straggling pirates that were caught off guard from the attack were easy prey for them. When they got to the prison area, they found that Mole-Yair was standing at one of the farther cells.
"Spyro, Cynder" Mole-Yair yelled when he caught sight of them. "My companions are still trapped in their cells and the chamber gates are locked. We have to find a way to open them".
"Ok" Spyro nodded. "Sit tight. We'll come back for you".
They quickly found a set of boards on the outside of the ship that lead to an elevator. Unfortunately, the cannons that were there were firing off in a rhythmic fashion. Spyro and Cynder had to time the blasts to reach the elevator, which took them up to a floor where gas was leaking out of a series of pipes. While Spyro tended to the pirates that was there. Cynder pushed a set of carts in front of the venting gas, which caused an explosion in a nearby doorway. A few moments later, Mole-Yair and the rest of the Manweersmalls had floated up in a raft.
Merci, mon amis" Mole-Yair said. "I hope we can meet again… perhaps under better circumstances".
"Good luck, Mole-Yair" Spyro nodded.
They watched as one of the Manweersmalls piloted the raft away from the ship. In a few minutes, they could no longer see it.
"Hey, that Mole-Yair guy just gave me an idea" Sparx said. "Why don't WE get off the burning boat?"
"Not yet" Cynder told him. "We have to find a map that can get us to a place called the White Isle… and I think I know where to find one".
"You know I hate you right" Sparx asked her.
They then made their way back to the tunnel they used to escape the coliseum. A metal fence that had been locked earlier was now broken, letting the get to the upper deck of the ship. However, as they had learned countless times during this journey, nothing was that simple. A large group of pirates were waiting to ambush them once they got there. The more Spyro and Cynder defeated, the more seemed to show up. Finally they managed to punch through and take an elevator up to the masts, where a rope bridge took them to the other side of the ship.
After dropping back down to the floor, they had to take on yet another large wave of pirates, forcing them to use one of their fury pulses. However, once Spyro shot down a raft, the Blundertails were back.
"Did you miss us" one of the riders asked mockingly. "Its payback time for what you did to us back at the arena".
Right as he said that, a trio of bomb-carrying Dreadwings flew into the scene and actually did something that wasn't expected: they saved Spyro and Cynder. They each dropped their bombs right on top of the Blundertails, effectively taking them out of the fight.
"Ok, what was that about" Cynder asked.
"Who cares" Sparx snapped. "We don't have to worry about them anymore".
One of the bombs had managed to punch a hole into the floor. Dropping into it, they landed right where Cynder was hoping to go: Skabb's quarters. Spyro was surprised that he had a lot of treasure for someone as dumb as he was.
"Whoa… look at all this stuff" Cynder gasped.
"Oh sure, take your time" Sparx laughed. "It's not like we're about to fall to our deaths in a giant heap of flaming-".
"Well, well, if it isn't the purple menace and his little girlfriend" a voice said behind them. "I hope you weren't planning on leaving".
Skabb and the parrots had just made their way there. Several small burns had peppered his face.
"Yeah, especially since we have a score to settle chump" the red parrot snapped.
"Who are you calling chump" Sparx shot back.
"You, fool" the red parrot yelled. "You!"
"It's quite remarkably how much trouble the two have managed to bring here" the orange parrot said.
"You brought this on yourself" Cynder shot back.
"You gonna let him talk to you that way, doodle-brain" the red parrot yelled at Skabb.
Skabb, who for obvious reasons was very bright, nodded his head.
"Shut up, fool" the red parrot snapped. "Fire the cannon".
The small cannon that was hidden in the treasure chest on Skabb's back shot out a round at the dragons, who barely got out of the way. He then started hopping around, shooting his retractable hook at them. On several occasions, the hook got caught on something, allowing them to attack him. After a while, he started shooting pellets out of a hidden gun in his left wrist. Luckily, it kept jamming when he fired too much, again letting them attack the pirate.
Fed up with the way the fight was going, Skabb shot the window, creating a sizeable hole.
"This is where we part ways" the orange parrot said dramatically.
"So long chumps" the red parrot laughed as Skabb somehow flew out the window.
"What the- how is he doing that" Cynder asked.
"Who cares" Sparx said. "We can't just let them get away".
Spyro and Cynder stared at Sparx, laughing that he had even said that.
"Oops… did I say that out loud" he asked feebly.
Yes Sparx, you did say it out loud. I wonder what will happen next.
