Chapter 36
I managed to handle the Speedway with relative ease, getting 3 eggs in the process, two belonging to Jewel and one belonging to Shoutfire. I named Jewel's babies Kobe and Jessie and I named Shoutfire's kid Sara. I then exited it just as I saw Sizzle exit the crack with a smile. "Whoo! I feel powerful! I feel like I can do some real damage now! HAHA!" Sizzle exclaimed, me noting that she was much faster than before and she looked incredibly hyped. "That egg must have had some powerful magic. It seems it made you not only speedier, but it made you so tough, you can not only break apart any kind of chest, but you can also damage regular enemies that don't have armor!" Zoe smiled at her. "That sounds awesome! She can put it to the test in the Dino Mines," I smiled. "You betcha, Blaze! Let's go! Yahoo!" Sizz exclaimed as she rushed into the portal ahead of me and Zoe, both of us giggling and chasing after her, seeing that Sizzle had already gotten the attention of a large green dinosaur and rushed him, taking him out with her speed and me gasping at the strength she now possessed!
"Oh my word! Remind me that from now on, no more caffeine for you," I smiled at Sizzle. "Oh heck yeah! By the way, I already found a dragon egg in this place! Here, I'll show you where it is!" Sizzle smiled as she zipped around a house nearby and I followed with my wings to see an egg hidden behind the house on a cliff along with a few gems. I then touched the egg and it hatched into a baby dragon boy dragon that had some patterns that looked like they were from Beast Makers. And the egg belonged to Shoutfire too. "Dan is your name," I smiled at him, the baby dragon smiled as he warped away. "I feel some magic inside this cactus! Flame it! Go on!" Sizzle smiled. "Calm your non-existent tits, Sizz," I smiled at her as I burned the cactus and it dropped a purple gem afterwards. We then proceeded back to the original area and Sizzle and I handled the other dinosaurs while also gathering gems in the process, us eventually coming upon a jail with a sheriff trapped within. "Gosh darnit..." he groaned.
"Something wrong, sir? Did you lock yourself up accidentally?" Zoe asked him. "No, I wish. I was coming in here to check up on my prisoner only to find he somehow got away again. I came in here to look for clues and one of them rotten dinosaurs locked me in! Now they're causing havoc around the town and there ain't nothin' I can do about it," he frowned. "Don't worry, sheriff. We'll clear out the dinos and find some way to free you. Just sit tight, we'll find some way to get you out of this mess," I smiled at him. "Thanks miss dragon," he smiled as I proceeded out and attacked some more dinos with Sizz helping me, the sheriff gasping from behind us. "Your dragonfly companion is quite tough!" he gawked. "Yes, I know," Sizzle smiled as I turned a corner and attacked a dynamite throwing dinosaur in the process. We collected the gems and proceeded forward and into another building, attacking a smaller dino atop a turret with my charge as Sizz's body bounced off the metal turret.
"I'll handle the turret dinos, Sizz, okay?" I smiled at her. "Okay, fine," she smiled back as we proceeded on some more and after dealing with some more gun slinging dinosaurs, we saw the next part was a flooded mine shaft. "You think you can handle being outside of my mouth for this part, Zoe?" I smiled at my fairy fiance. "I don't mind," she smiled as we flew into the waters and I started to take out dinosaur seahorses while collecting gems, looking at a cracked wall with intrigue. I smashed through it by swimming quickly with horns in front of my head, smashing it through and seeing a dragon egg on the other side. When I hatched this one, I immediately gushed at the baby boy being born with a pacifier in his mouth, which was doubly cute as he belonged to Heloise! "Romey," I smiled while underwater, the dragon baby warping away afterwards and Zoe and our group collecting the rest of the gems before popping out on the other side. "Whew! That water is a bit chilly, but lucky us, we don't need air to breathe underwater," Zoe smiled. "And lucky me, when a dragonfly enters water, a bubble surrounds us so we can breathe," Sizzle smiled.
After that, our group proceeded forward while taking out more enemies until we came upon something that looked off. A wall that looked quite weak compared to the rest of it, which was on the other side of the jail. "Hmm... idea. Ramming time," I smiled as I started to charge the wall, me bursting through it and bursting through a second fake wall before stopping right in front of the sheriff. "Well I'll be! So that's how my prisoners keep escaping! I need to get to fixing that right away... here, take this dinosaur egg before it hatches and causes more trouble," the sheriff said as he handed me a Dragon Egg that belonged to Heloise and I smiled at how it was the last egg she needed. I touched it and it hatched into a chubby dragon with gray skin and wearing glasses. She then sneezed and the glasses flew off of her, me giggling at that. "Kiki," I smiled at her. "Jumpin' Jehoshaphat! That's the cutest lil' dinosaur I ever did see!" the sheriff smiled.
"It wasn't a dinosaur, bub. She was a dragon baby. Have you seen any other eggs like this?" I asked him. "Well, I think that I saw one of those dinos take one into our water well and I think two other eggs were in an area occupied by the Bailey Gang, a nasty gang of dino outlaws that is the worst gang in all of Dino Mines," the sheriff said. "I say we go after the Bailey Gang first," I said with seriousness, me and my allies rushing out of the cave and to a portal nearby that I had a feeling would lead to the Bailey Gang. On the other side, we saw a deputy guy look a bit upset. "We're here to go after the Bailey Gang. Can you point us in the right direction?" I smiled at him.
"You're just in time! They're planning to try and steal something big and take it back to their hideout in the bank. I don't know why they're stealing these giant eggs instead of loot..." the deputy said. "Most likely hired by the Sorceress. Let's take these thugs out!" Sizz said as our group proceeded forward and started to attack the different dinosaurs of the Bailey Gang, them all being composed of gun slingers and dynamite throwers. They posed no threat at all against my flames, Zoe's magic, and Sizzle's increase of power. We managed to attack all of them before we took out the final one and he dropped a dragon egg that belonged to Jewel, me gasping at how this was her 60th egg! "Time to hatch Jewel's final egg," I smiled as I touched it and it hatched into a female dragon with blue skin and her doing a cartwheel upon being born. "Sharon is your name, cutie," I smiled at her, the baby warping away as we then collected the rest of the gems around the place until we went to the bank and found another dragon egg, this one being one of Shoutfire's babies. "Your name is Sergio, little guy," I smiled at him as he did a back flip and then warped away.
We then went back after collecting 700 gems and went into the water tower next, us rushing into it and seeing that it led to an underwater mine shaft. And it was in a high-speed tunnel on top of that! "I'm going in!" I smiled as I rushed into the tunnel and started to swim effortlessly through the mine shaft, having to use quick reflexes to avoid some falling rocks, collapsing beams, and tons of stray TNT crates. Once I reached the end, I grabbed the egg and I instantly got warped back to the start, the egg hatching into a boy with brown skin and it being Shoutfire's final child. "Your name is Elliot," I smirked, the baby warping away soon after. We then went back to the portal and left through it, running into Spyro on the other side and him smiling at me. "How many more eggs do we need?" Spyro asked. "As far as I know, we only need three more to go. Two belonging to me and Zoe and the other one belonging to you and Ember," I smiled. "Then I say it's time we took the fight to the Sorceress. You in?" Spyro smiled. "Let's get back my kid from her ugly ass," I smiled as the two of us proceeded into the Sorceress's lair and our magic opened the door up for us, all of us entering and preparing for the fight for the fate of one of my two babies.
