"ATTACK!" Big Nasty shouted as he pointed to the city.
Bentley and Cleetus commandeered the big rig; Shiela and Zircon took the bathtub car; Agent 9 took the drill car; Hunter, Elora, and Bianca took the red car; and finally, Big Nasty and Spyro took the hummer while Sgt. Byrd took to the skies.
Meanwhile, the Cold Blooded members had their own modified motorcycles, complete with weapons.
The team rode in with determination and resolve in their vehicles towards the city.
Before leaving, Big Nasty gave each member of the team a walkie talkie for communication. He took his out and addressed them.
"Alright, listen fellas! You all know your jobs! Those boys aren't gonna take it easy on us so neither will we! You ready?!" he said.
"You know it!" said Spyro.
"Affirmative!" said Sgt. Byrd.
"Ehh...I guess so," Hunter said nervously.
"That's the spirit! Now let's do this!" exclaimed Big Nasty.
The team was now halfway to the city and at this point, it was time for them to split up.
Suddenly, the team noticed something in the distance. It was hard for them to tell at first as they were just silhouettes in the dust from the sand, but soon, they made themselves more visible, revealing themselves as a large army of rhynocs and gnorcs in cars and motorcycles of their own. But what was a real surprise to the team; specifically Spyro, Hunter, and Elora; was who was leading them, none other than Crush and Gulp.
Adorned in black leather jackets, the two commandeered a giant tank outfitted with machine guns. Crush drove while Gulp stood at the roof.
"Crush and Gulp?" Hunter observed.
"What are those idiots doing here?!" said Spyro.
"On errands for Ripto, no doubt," said Elora.
"You know them?" Bianca asked Hunter.
"Yep, they caused a lot of trouble for us back in Avalar," Hunter said.
"They may be short on brains, but they pack a big punch," said Elora.
"I'll say. I've still got sores from the last time I butted heads with em! Still toasted them though," Spyro said confidently.
"So basically, things just got harder and we'll probably, most likely end up as dead bodies in the middle of the desert...great..." Slither groaned.
Dirtbag and Zircon started to tremble before Toadstool calmed both of them down. "Easy, you guys. We can do this!" he said.
"He'sss right. And if thosssse two give you any trouble, Elora, jussst ssssay the word," said Spike Tooth.
"Oh, brother," Spyro said, groaning in annoyance.
Suddenly, a missile came flying in the team's direction. At the last split second, they all evaded.
"We have to get past these guys before we do anything else!" instructed Big Nasty.
"Right! Let's toast these chumps!" exclaimed Spyro.
Following Crush and gulp were a rhynoc riding in an ice cream truck with machine guns and spikes, and a gnorc riding in a vehicle with the front of a bulldozer and the back of a truck; two gnorcs riding a garbage truck with missile launchers; three rhynocs riding a Hurst with two side cars; and multiple gnorcs and rhynocs riding motorcycles with machine guns.
"To battle, soldiers!" Sgt. Byrd shouted before firing a couple couple of missiles at one of the motorcycles.
The ice cream truck fired and the bulldozer fired their missiles at Spyro and Big Nasty, but they managed to evade them, but then the bulldozer rammed into them, flipping them over. Luckily, they stayed on their wheels and fired back.
Hunter was trying to figure out which of the many buttons to push in his car.
"Try that one," Elora suggested, pointing at a silver button.
Hunter did so and a bunch of tacks came out of the back of the car and popped the tires of three of the motorcycles. But as Hunter was reveling in his success, the Hurst came in and started bumping him to the side.
As the garbage truck closed in on Agent 9, he pressed one of the buttons and made number of land mines came out.
"Oh yeah! Now we're talkin!'" he exclaimed.
However, the garbage truck barely evaded each of the mines and fired a missile at him which he barely dodged as well.
Toadstool and Dirtbag took out a couple of motorcycles, but then they both bumped into Crush and Gulp.
"HAHA! Take that, you chameleons!" shouted Crush.
"FROG and GILA MONSTER!" Toadstool corrected.
Crush and Gulp fired at the two, but they quickly evaded.
Meanwhile Spike Tooth and Slither took out some motorcycles of their own as well as Zircon and Sheila.
The garbage truck maneuvered in front of Sheila and Zircon, then opened its back hatch, letting out a pile of garbage onto them.
"Oh dear! I fear we may have our fur cleaned later, Miss Sheila!" Zircon expressed with great aggravation.
Sheila pulled back on the shift and drove out of the pile. "We'll worry about that later, mate!" she said to Zircon before firing her guns at the garbage truck.
Agent 9 popped the tires of three of the motorcycles while Sgt. Byrd took out two with his missiles.
The Hurst was bumping into Hunter and the girls and was close to knocking them over when Spike Tooth came from behind them. After closing in on the Hurst, he balanced on the seat of his motorcycle, and jumped onto the vehicle, then knocked out the two rhynocs in the sidecars. He then broke the top widow and threw the third rhynoc out before taking control of the Hurst.
"Wow! Nice work, Spike Tooth!" Elora said complementing him.
"Of coursssse! Anytime," said Spike Tooth.
Overhearing this, Spyro growled in annoyance, before turning his attention to the ice cream truck that was firing at him and Big Nasty. Just then, he got and idea.
"Big Nasty! Get me to the side!" Spyro commanded.
In response, Big Nasty drove to the side of the ice cream truck. Once there, Spyro poked his head out of the window and fired his water breath at the rhynoc, knocking him out.
"Nice work, boy!" exclaimed Big Nasty. "When this is over, remind me to give you a discount!"
Hunter tried his hand at taking out Crush and Gulp, but his bullets barely scratched them as they just rode through them before knocking him, Elora, and Bianca down.
"Elora!" shouted Spike Tooth.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to try and help as Crush and Gulp quickly took him out with a missile.
To make matters worse, the bulldozer crushed Zircon and Sheila's vehicle, forcing the both of them to retreat. Luckily, Toadstool and Slither were there to give them a ride.
"Thank you, Mr. Slither!" Zircon said with relief. "They are quite aggressive."
"Yeah, no kidding," Slither said.
Zircon noticed one of the rhynocs on a motorcycle trying to knock over Sheila and Toadstool and his expression soon changed.
"But so am I" he said aggressively.
Zircon immediately jumped off of Slither's motorcycle and rolled into the rhynoc's, running him down. Once he rejoined Slither, he returned to his composed demeanor. "My apologies!"
"Nice work, Zirc!" exclaimed Sheila.
Zircon bowed in response.
With the garbage truck still chasing him, Agent 9 drove backwards and activated the drills on his cars. "Hope you like Swiss cheese!" he cackled.
Agent 9 held back on the acceleration and the garbage truck ran into his drills. They managed to pierce through the front, but that did not stop the garbage truck from lifting him up. Breaking free of the drill, the truck tossed Agent 9 over it, causing him to launch out of it.
Crawling out of the car, Agent 9 was nearly ran over by the bulldozer until Sgt. Byrd came in at the last second and grabbed him with his talons.
The garbage truck then turned its attention to Spyro and Big Nasty. However, Big Nasty was more then ready for it. Pressing a button, he launched a pair of spinning pizza disks that sliced the truck in half.
"And that, Spyro, is the correct way to make pizza!" he exclaimed.
"Noted," Spyro said with a chuckle.
Just then, he and Big Nasty noticed Hunter, Bianca, and Elora vehicle-less and desperately trying to evade the gunfire and immediately drove towards them.
"We have to find cover!" exclaimed Hunter.
"Oh sure, Hunter. Let's find some cover in the middle of the desert," Elora retorted sarcastically.
"We could always hide in the sand," Hunter suggested, to which Elora and Bianca rolled their eyes.
Fortunately for the three, Big Nasty and Spyro arrived to save them and they all hopped into the hummer.
With Sgt. Byrd carrying him, Agent 9 fired away at a number of motorcycles.
Meanwhile; Cleetus, Bentley, and the bulldozer butted heads with one another.
"Eat bullets, big boy!" exclaimed Cleetus as he fired the missiles.
The bulldozer fired back with twin side machine guns and Cleetus responded with a series of cannon shots while Bentley used his club to swat them away.
"Back! Back, you uncultured, illiterate brutes!" shouted Bentley.
"Eeel-lie-lee-tor...what?" said Cleetus.
"Never mind," Bentley sighed.
As the two continued to fend off the bulldozer, Big Nasty and Spyro picked up Spike Tooth, much to Spyro's reluctance.
"Spike Tooth, are you OK?" asked Elora.
"Or courssssse. Thanksss to you," Spike Tooth said, holding Elora's hand,
Spyro shook his head, growling through gritted teeth.
It seemed as though Cleetus and Bentley's vehicle and the bulldozer were evenly matched until Cleetus got an idea. "Hold onto yer fur!" he exclaimed.
With a hard turn, Cleetus did a donut around the bulldozer, confusing the driver before ramming into it, knocking it down.
"Your style of vehicular commandeering is rather unorthodox but, it I must say it is effective," said Bentley.
"Unortho...are you insulting me?!" Cleetus said.
"No, that was a compliment," Bentley said nervously.
"Oh...well thank you," Cleetus said, smiling and chuckling.
Just then, Big Nasty communicated with the two as well as the others.
"Boys! We're close to the city, but these suckers are pinning us down hard! We need to think of something to get em off our backs!" exclaimed Big Nasty.
"Leave them to me!" said Cleetus.
"By yourself?! Absolutely not!" said Bentley.
"Hey, there aren't that many left. I can handle these bozos! You all need to focus on taking back the city! I'll be fine!" said Cleetus.
"I think Cleetus can take care of himself," said Spyro.
The rest of the group were incredulous about leaving Cleetus behind, as was Spyro, but admittedly, he did have a point. First and foremost, what was important was the mission.
"He's right! If Cleetus can hold the fort for us, we should go for it!" said Big Nasty.
After clearing out a few motorcycles, Big Nasty turned the big rig around and opened the back, revealing a number of small vehicles.
"Wow! I didn't know you had those!" Spyro exclaimed.
"First rule in making death vehicles; always make spares," said Big Nasty. "Assigned teams, take a vehicle and head to your destinations!"
Each of the teams got into a respective vehicle with Bentley being the last among them, but not before placing a hand on Cleetus' shoulder.
"Good luck, my friend," Bentley said.
Cleetus nodded before Bentley exited the hummer.
Crush and Gulp noticed the teams heading off and ordered them to be stopped. A multitude of motorcycles surrounded them, blocking their path. But Sgt. Byrd quickly disposed of them with his missiles and cleared a path for them.
"We can't let them get away!" shouted Crush.
Gulp nodded in agreement before the two drove towards Spyro and his friends. However, Cleetus immediately blocked the way.
"If you boys want a fight, I go 400 pounds of dragon right here for ya!" exclaimed Cleetus.
Crush and Gulp growled in anger.
Before joining them, Sgt. Byrd looked back to Cleetus and gave him a salute. "Good luck, soldier!" he said.
Cleetus saluted back as Spyro and the others departed.
