Chapter 11
Once I heard that laugh, I immediately glared at the thief in question, him having a green cloak instead of a blue one and not having an egg, but a purple gem in his grasp. He then immediately ran away, but not before waking up a small and a large ape creature. "You handle the small fry, I'm going after that thief!" I growled at Spyro, having had enough of these bastards and not planning on letting this one out of my sights. I immediately ran after the thief before Spyro could respond, following him up to an area with a trapped dragon and going down a Supercharge ramp and him continuing onto another supercharge ramp. I kept rushing after him, matching his every move until he jumped onto some upper ramps on the supercharges until he jumped a great distance to a distant island, me seeing tons of treasure on the island as well as seeing a trapped dragon on the island. "Nowhere left to run, you annoying son of a bitch!" I smirked at the thief as he gasped at how I followed him so easily.
I immediately flamed him and collected the purple gem he had on his person, which was worth 25 units. I then freed the dragon and he looked surprised at him being rescued. "That was quite a ride, little one! You must've had some real skill to get here on your first attempt," the dragon smirked at me. "Yeah, but could you find an easier spot to get stuck next time? I was only able to get here so easily by following after that damn thief," I said to him. "Not my fault," he said as he then left in a puff of smoke. I then collected all the treasure on the island and flew back to the area with the trapped dragon, seeing that Spyro didn't go this direction, me wondering where he could've went. I then freed said dragon and he smiled at me.
"Thanks for releasing me, young one. And nice Supercharge trip you just did. I may have been trapped in crystal, but I saw that wild ride for myself," he smiled at me. "Nice to know you appreciate my skills," I smiled at him. "Anybody would after that ride... I could barely keep up myself," Sizzle admitted as she looked a bit tired. "You want to rest in my belly?" I smiled at her. "No, I'm fine, just keep going," she smirked back at me. She knew I was kidding. And even then, Sizzle would be absolutely fine if she were to get eaten by me. Mostly because dragonflies, when given to a young dragon such as me or Spyro, were unable to be harmed by the dragon at all. "Okay, now let's go and get some more loot," I said as we then proceeded to get more treasure and kill more enemies, me seeing Spyro get to the top of an area and seeing he was chasing a thief in a red cloak instead, which I smirked at.
"So, are you done being awesome, Blaze?" Spyro asked me with a smile. "Sure enough. How many gems did you get?" I asked him. "270. You?" Spyro asked. "230. Full quota no doubt," I smirked. "I finally beat you at something at least," Spyro snickered. "Yep," I smiled as we then stepped on the teleporter and we both reappeared in the Beast Makers. We then proceeded to the next portal and I noted that there were no more gnorcs or pigs in this area. "Nice job handling the baddies, Spyro," I smiled at him. "Thanks," he smirked back as we then saw the portal to Murky Temple and saw the name got changed again. This time, to Metalhead. "My guess is that this next boss will be a robot," Sparx said. "Nice thinking," I smiled at him as we went into the portal and we stopped on a dock at the start of the temple. We then moved forward a bit and I had to ram a metal-laden ape that was sent my way by a bigger ape!
"Hah! Dead! Let's go forward, wait... I see a hidden area down in that channel down there. I'm going for it," I smirked as I glided down below the bridge and into a small sewer of sorts, me finding some more gems as well as a key for a chest! "Oh yeah, I found a key!" I smiled as I then moved back out of the place and got some gems atop some buildings as I saw Spyro handling some more baddies and me helping out with the last few, which he smiled at. "What'd you find?" he asked. "A key and some gems," I smiled at him as we went down a slope and freed a dragon, who broke out afterwards and smiled at us. "Metalhead is all powered-up and ready to brawl with you. He's invincible because of how big he is, but he requires power from his power nodes in the temple. Take them out and he'll be all out of juice," the dragon said. "Thanks for the info," I smiled at him as we proceeded into the temple and saw a giant robot with a green Mohawk on him. He looked intimidating, but I simply ranf or the different power nodes, making a note not to charge them while they were red, as they got coated in electricity when that happened. Once they were taken care of, the enemies at the top that he was trying to throw at us all died and Metalhead then ran off to deeper in the temple.
"I'll go get the treasure and join up with you soon," I said to Spyro as I flew up to the area with the guys that died and collected tons of loot before meeting back up with Spyro in the final area, where there were more nodes to deal with and I saw Metalhead try to send a laser at us, the range and speed of it being so pathetic that we could literally walk away from it before it could connect. We then attacked the nodes one by one until all of them were destroyed, which was quite fun to do as the enemies at the top of Metalhead died as well as the robot himself powering down and disintegrating soon after into a ton of gems. "I'm going behind that waterfall to see if anything is behind it. You move on and wait for me until I get back," I smirked at Spyro. "Of course," he smirked as I flew behind the waterfall and smiled at the chest that awaited me there. It had a lock on it, so I put in the key and it opened up to reveal tons of gems! I then moved back to Spyro and saw he claimed all the rest of the gems.
"Yay! Beast Makers down, now all that's left before Gnasty himself is Dream Weavers, the dragons that make sure we have no nightmares," I smirked at Spyro. "Indeed," Spyro smiled as we got in the teleporter and warped back to the Beast Makers and approached the nearby balloonist. "Nice job getting everything up to this point, guys. The Dream Weavers await. Be careful there and expect the unexpected, especially in the different worlds such as Dark Passage, Haunted Towers, and Abstract Bluff," the balloonist said to us. "We're prepared for this journey. We've beat all the previous worlds before, this'll be cake," Spyro smiled at that as we got in the balloon and I smiled and closed my eyes for a small snooze. "Wake me up when we get there, purple," I smiled at my partner dragon. "Of course," Spyro smiled as Sizzle flew into my mouth to sleep in there, which I didn't mind at all. It was where she always slept and she found it the warmest place to sleep.
