Fossil Fighter-Paleo legacy
Chapter 19- Bandits Last Stand
(Play Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: Let it Out)
Let it all out, let it all out
You don't have to act like everything's okay
(The sun shines brightly with the seagulls passing by. Five orbs of elements swirl before they shined softly and the title, "Fossil Fighters- Paleo Legacy" is seen before it turns to another scene.)
Pour it all out, pour it all out
'Cause I'm here for you
And you should know that I'm here to stay
(Tyrant is seen at the edge of the cliffs of Vivosaur Island, watching the ocean waves and the wind blowing around him, a soft saddened look on his face before looking at the medals of his dinos as they shined in his hands and he smiled softly.)
Know that you aren't the only
Person here who feels lonely
And that I really fully can understand
All of the things that you've been going through
(Rosie was seen with her arms behind her back as she watches the sun rise before she smiles. Holt looks at the cliff to see Ty as he smiles a bit with a clenched fist.)
Don't you ever give up on life
'Cause that's just not the right thing to do
(Ty walks through Knotwood forest as he recalls his past memories, before seeing memories of everyone he met on the island, smiling and looking up with his eyes shining bright, covering the screen.)
Just stay with me
And soon you'll see
If you would just live for today
(Twilight spins as she waves to the screen with a bright smile as her and Ty's parents were seen next with smiles.)
Forget the past
Make today last
That you'd surely be okay
(Ty was seen running through with the memories of his rich past before passing into the light of his bright future.)
Don't ever forget the bond we share
For no matter what I'll always be here
Next to you
And I know it's hard but you'll get through
(The scene was changed with Ty and Holt at the Fossil Arena smirking at each other as they tossed their medals out as their chosen vivosaurs were summoned and charged into a fierce battle of the century as they enjoyed their battle with bright energy.)
I'm here to stay
And here to say
That I promise I won't leave
(Peggy and Zoe ran to Ty and hugged him on each of his sides as the three laughed.)
Won't disappear
I'll always be here
And you'd better believe
(Dr. Diggins with his stego and Wendy were seen with smiles while the dino licked the scientist to the ground as Wendy laughed.)
Things aren't easy as they say
But just hang on in
And I'm sure that you'll be okay
(A young lady in a cloak was seen as she turned to the screen with yellow eyes glowing, as walked ahead and vanished in the darkness.)
Try your best because I know
You have strength within
(Ty was seen at the edge of the island with his vivosaurs in their anthro forms, snuggling against the fighter as he smiled at the setting sun and the five glowing orbs shined softly before the screen went black.)
The moment they returned to the island Ty and Rosie hopped off the boat. The area was quiet...too quiet. Ty put an arm around his wife to be's waist and pulled her closer. "I don't like this…" Ty breathed with a stern face.
"Neither do I…" Rosie nodded in agreement. They headed forward before they saw Beth and Sue running to them.
"Thank goodness you're both ok." Sue spoke in worry.
Ty glanced over as the four gathered together. "What happened? My sister told us something about Bullwort taking over the town or something…" The boy asked.
Beth nodded. "He did, e took over the Guild area, and is using the Richmond building as base of operations."
The pinkette gasped in shock. "What about my grandpa?"
"We don't know where he is." Sue answered. "We never saw him come to the Fossil Center when everyone evacuated for shelter."
"What about my parents and sister?" Ty asked the two staff members.
"Twilight is at the center, but your parents…" Beth sighed, "They were visiting the Richmond building last we saw." Ty felt anger boiling. The crystal on his neck slightly glowed, sensing his anger.
"Rosie, I'm going to the Guild area, and putting that bastard down for good." He spoke in a firm and angry tone.
The pinkette nodded angrily. "I'm coming too. He's got my grandpa." The fighter nodded as they ran to the entrance. There, they were stopped by two BB bandit lackeys.
"Sorry twerps, but no tours. Scram before things get ugly." One of the grunts smirked.
Ty growled. "Things will get ugly if you don't get out of our way." That was when the second paled.
"Shit man, that's the kid from the base!" He gasped in terror, remembering Ty's rage with his vivosaurs.
Rosie gave a smirk of her own. "Think we can get in now?"
"Do whatever, I'm outta here!" The grunt yelped and booked it into the guild area.
"Coward!" The first shouted at him before turning to the two. "He might run, but I'm not scared of you brats! Venator, crush him!" He tossed his medal and summoned his vivosaur to battle. Ty let S, U, and Nychus appear from their medals before they brutally beat the earth vivosaur. The grunt paled at the sight of his best vivosaur beaten in just seconds.
"Now, let's try this again. Let us pass or," Ty snapped his fingers as his vivosaurs snarled. "You can be on my vivosaurs menu today." The color seemed to pale from the grunts body as the vivosaurs approached. Nychus growled before breathing out her nose on the grunt, revealing that it was only a cloud of dust left. "Heh, weakling." The boy snickered as he stroked the snouts of his dinos. "Well done ladies." The raptors purred as the group rushed inside. Rosie went ahead and called down the elevator to Richmond's office. Ty caught up with her as he returned his vivosaurs to their medals. "You ready to face that bastard again, my dear?" The pinkette growled as she cracked her knuckles.
"No one messes with my grandpa...or my parents in law." Rosie replied. Ty nodded as they got into the elevator and headed up to the top. When they got to the office, they stepped out and saw Bullwort in Richmond's chair, facing the window.
"Bullwort!" Ty shouted. There was no reply, but he slowly turned and had a smirk on his face.
"Well well well, look who finally made it, and I see you brought your precious girlfriend." The leader chuckled evilly.
"That's my grandpa's chair. GET. OFF!" Rosie snarled as she stepped forward to the desk.
"I'd be careful if I were you little girl." Bullwort smirked. "You could blow a fuse with that hot temper of yours, and I might have Frigi cool you down."
"I'm sorry, who?" Ty asked with a raised brow.
The man chuckled. "Frigi, the mighty vivosaur of ice. When I discovered about its power, I knew from that moment, I have nature's abilities in my hands." He got up and approached the two. "With this vivosaur at my disposal, I have become a god! I can rule not only Vivosaur Island, but the entire world! Ahahahahahahahahaaa!" The fighters glared at the man until a noise filled Ty's head. It was the sound of a female whimpering. It was strangely familiar to the male fighter.
"Please….help me…." The voice whimpered as if she in pain.
The fighter didn't know where it was coming from, but he knew he needed to deal with Bullwort. "You may have a powerful vivosaur, but it's nowhere in comparison to mine!"
"Oh?" Bullwort smirked. "Care to bet on that, little boy?"
"Please...don't make me...you're cruel…" The voice in Ty's head sobbed. Tyrant shook his head again as he pulled out his medals.
"Bring it, Bullwort!" He challenged and summoned Spinax, Venator and S-Raptor.
"Very well." The leader pulled out his own medal, which was black rimmed. "Behold! The legendary vivosaur of ice. Come forth! Frigisaurus!" He tossed the medal as icy blue light shined in the room before they saw Frigi itself.
It was a large bipedal sauropod vivosaur. It looked like a Salto with its body covered in an icy bone like armor instead of stone. It's body was light blue with red eyes and was the size of Perso, if not bigger. Ty gulped as he gazed up at the creature. "Whoa...that's a big one…"
Ty's teams growled. "How tough can it be?" S growled before charging at the sauropod.
"Ha! You think you have a chance!? Think again! Frigi! Dodge it!" Bullwort called. By his command, Frigi moved by shocking speed and evaded S's attack.
The boy gasped. "Shit, S get back!" The raptor turned around to look at her fighter.
Bullwort smirked. "Sub Zero Stomp." The sauropod moved in front of S before bellowing and rose on its hind legs. S couldn't move in time before the vivosaur bashed her beneath its feet creating a blast into the ground. The building shook as Ty and Rosie braced from the impact. Frigi stepped back to reveal S-Raptor's medal stuck in the floor.
"No….." Ty breathed in fear by this.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Oh look at you! Your face is priceless to see!" Bullwort bellowed in laughter.
Spinax and Venator snarled at the former police captain as they stepped back to guard their fighter and his wife. "Ty, I don't think we can stand up to its power. This is like the level-up battles, only this time we're the severely weak ones." Spinax growled.
Bullwort grinned. "Awww what's the matter? You're vivosaurs finally realize that they can't win and want to surrender?" His grin turned slier. "I haven't forgotten what my pathetic daughter informed me. I could use some beautiful girls at my beck and call when I conquer the world." Ty felt rage burning in his body as the stone glowed brighter on his neck. "Oh? Did I strike a nerve? Your face is priceless. Maybe I'll take that harem of yours. They'll make perfect play toys."
"If you so much as lay one finger on them, I'll tear you apart." Tyrant fumed as his pupils became slits.
"Oh I'd like to see you try." Bullwort smirked. "As long as you can beat Frigi of course, but that won't happen. In fact, I might chain you so you can witness those whores under my wake. Every, single, day." The boy clenched his fists as his teeth grinded together.
"Now you've DONE IT!" Ty roared as the gem shined brightly until he shifted into his dragon form. "I'll be sure nothing of you is left, you sick fuck!"
Bullwort yawned. "Right, Frigi end this with Ice Age."
The ice vivosaur lowered her head as she made contact with Tyrant's. "I'm sorry." Ty heard it, and realized...the voice he heard before was Frigi's. With a shrilling cry, Frigi released a large amount of ice, blasting Ty and his team back with fierce power. His team's medals blew back towards him as the boy shivered and hugged himself tightly.
"S-s-s-sooo….c-c-c-c-cold…" The dragon boy shivered as his limbs and wings wrapped tightly around himself before he became encased in ice.
"TY!" Rosie called before the blizzard hit her and she froze as well.
Bullwort stepped forward and laughed in victory as he eyed the two ice sculptures. "Hahahaha that was too easy." He tapped in ice encasing Tyrant. "Guess I'll have to wait to get those medals. Frigi, melt him please."
The sauropod glared at him. "No...I can't and won't…"
The man glared angrily at her. "You dare defy your master!?" He pulled out a device and pushed a button on it sending massive shockwaves through her body. Frigi roared in pain as she fell to the ground. "Do. As. I. Say." He ordered.
Frigi breathed low and whimpered. "N...never….besides, I make ice...I can't melt it..."
The BB bandit leader snarled. "Very well, then I'll take the delight of watching you squirm." He released his medals as his sauropods awakened. "Boys, do as you wish with her." The vivosaurs grunted as they surrounded the legendary beast and rubbed against her.
Frigi shivered and growled. "You...won't win...Igno...will stop me and you." She snarled at the man.
Bullwort smirked. "Oh I would love to see the day, but for now, time to be punished." He sat back down on his chair and snapped his fingers. The male dinosaurs growled as they took turns mounting her.
"You're fucking si-AHHHHHHHH!" Frigi cried when she felt one of their members ram into her as the beast started thrusting. Bullwort leaned back in his new chair as a few grunts walked inside the office.
"You called for us boss?" One asked nervously.
"Yes. Make sure all of you are on high alert and make sure no fighter finds Igno's fossil." He ordered. "Also, bring these two down to the police station and lock them in a cell. I'm sure my daughter would love the company." The grunts nodded and started dragging Ty and Rosie out of the office. The bandit leader smirked as he continued to watch Frigi being punished. "I wonder how much those two brats are worth to their folks…?"
(Meanwhile)
Bailey sat in her cell at the police station as she was curled up in the bed. She was afraid. With Ty gone, her father took over the island, and now, she was back in the cells again. "That...fucking asshole…" Bailey sobbed. "I'm his fucking daughter, how could he do this to me?"
"Get them in here." A grunt spoke. Bailey looked up as she gasped, seeing the grunt drag Ty and Rosie in and opened her cell. "You got new roommates bitch." Rosie was cursing the grunts out as her body was still frozen except for her head. The bandits rolled their eyes as the shoved in the large ice block containing the gem covered dragon and locked it again.
"Rosie!" Bailey got up and ran to her. "Are you alright?"
Rosie sighed and faced her friend with teary eyes. "They got you too?"
The girl nodded. "Father grabbed me out of the bloom and locked me up in here. He told me if I misbehaved...he'll order his grunts to…..to…."
Rosie's jaw dropped in shock. "That's horrible…"
"Yes...and now my dad will take over Vivosaur Island thanks to that vivosaur he has...but I know Ty will stop him." The blonde sniffed as she looked at the frozen dragon.
Rosie frowned. "Unfortunately, he can't."
"What do you mean?" Bailey asked.
"Ty fought it with the best he could...but even his vivosaurs and his dragon form couldn't stop it...Frigi is too strong."
Bailey's eyes watered as she kneeled next to the ice block. "Then that means...Ty's inside?" Rosie nodded. "He's completely sealed inside it, and he's in that dragon form? Aren't dragons cold blooded or something?"
The pinkette sniffed. "Yes, but I don't even know how we'll defeat Frigi now. Not even Ty's best vivosaurs can beat it."
Bailey was about to say something when a door opened and a small bandit waddled over to their cell. "Rrrrrr?"
"Rex?" Rosie asked in surprise. "What do you want?" The dog barked and revealed a pair of keys. The dog fumbled with the lock until it clicked and the cell door slowly slid open.
Bailey sniffed and wiped her eyes. "What? Did my father send you here to get me?" Rex looked down at his uniform with a snarl before slashing the bandit's logo to shreds. Both she and Rosie watched in surprise.
"So...you wanna help us?" The pinkette asked. Rex barked again he ran behind Bailey and nudged her to the door.
"W-wait, I can't leave Ty and Rosie here." Bailey spoke out.
Rosie sighed with a sad smile. "There's no choice, I'm still frozen and Ty's a block of ice. You can't do anything for us right now. We'll be fine." Bailey frowned before she nodded and approached Rosie and gave her a kiss.
"I'll be back as soon as I can." She promised before running out with Rex. The dog gave a quiet whimper and gently closed the cell again. The two former bandits sneaked out of the police department as Rex lead her to the Fossil Center. They entered as the dog lead her down a hall to the next area, which was an elevator and took them to the warehouse of the center.
"Bailey!" Diggins spoke as he approached her. "Thank goodness you're ok."
"I'm alright, Diggins." Bailey said. "I have Rex to thank." The dog barked before she saw Twilight approaching.
"Where's Ty?" She asked in concern.
Bailey frowned. "Ty...tried to fight my father….but...his new vivosaur, Frigi, beat him, even in his dragon form."
The female fighter's face filled with worry. "Where is he now?"
"He's still in the police station…" Bailey took a deep breath. "Trapped in a block of ice."
The others in the room gasped in shock to hear this. "You mean he was frozen solid?!" Diggins exclaimed. Bailey nodded.
"You're lucky that bastard didn't do anything worse to him." A voice spoke as they saw Snivels and Vivian approach with Rex.
Twilight whipped around to face them. "Worse?! My brother is stuck in a block of ice! He can't breath or do anything to free himself! If we don't help him he'll die in there!"
"Maybe so," Snivels piped in. "but if you go and battle Bullwort, you'll suffer the same fate. That vivosaur is too strong to defeat. He demonstrated its power to us, defeating over 20 high powered vivosaurs, and took them all down without breaking a sweat."
The blonde girl whimpered as she fell to her knees and sobbed. Holt placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. "I don't...want to lose...my brother!" Twilight cried out through her tears.
The area was silent. They knew they can't beat Frigi, not alone. "There has to be a way to beat that sauropod of his…." Diggins muttered. Twilight wanted to save her brother, but she knew the others were right.
"Ty…" She whimpered before she felt an unknown force hit her. A vision was seen in her eyes, a large and massive predator roaring with the rumbling waves of lava and fire piercing the skies and grounds. "What was…?"
Vivian sighed as she turned and walked a few feet away from the group. "...There might be a way…"
Twilight shot her head up. "Please! Tell me how!"
The green haired woman looked at her and sighed. "Well…." Twilight jumped up and gripped her arm tightly wanting to know more. "Apparently, when the boss went to the Digadig tribe to get the information he wanted, the chieftain had mentioned this other vivosaur. Some kind of fire predator that could rival and counter Frigi's ice."
"So then we have to talk to the chieftain to know more about this fire predator." Holt spoke up. Twi nodded as she replayed the vision from before in her head.
"So...that vivosaur I saw...can help me save Ty?" She thought to herself.
"Come on Twi, we can't waste time." Holt informed his girlfriend. Much to everyone's surprise Twi gripped his wrist a bolted out of the center dragging Holt behind her.
Twilight and Holt took a boat and booked it to Knotwood forest. Twilight was not gonna waste any time in getting the info she needs to find out vivosaur that can defeat Frigi. The pair soon came to the heart of the digadig tribe where the chieftain was standing quietly. "Ah, the young fighters, digadig. How nice to have visitors." He greeted warmly.
Twilight bent over to catch her breath as she tried to talk. "Need to...know about...Frigi and...counterpart." She wheezed.
This got attention from the village as they panicked. "H-How do you know about this!? Don't hurt us! Digadig!" The chief spoke in fear.
The girl whimpered before looking up at the chief with teary eyes. "I'm begging you. My brother is in trouble, and if we don't find a way to beat Frigi he'll…" Twilight couldn't bring herself to speak of what might happen to her brother.
The chief saw her tears, knowing this was a serious matter. He sighed and looked down. "Millions of years ago…the mountains that made up this island were locked in a vicious battle with the ocean. The waves crashed on its shores carving at the rock while lava spewed from the mountain." As the man spoke the second name the vision again flashed in the girl's mind. "It wasn't until my ancestors offered a set of fossils did they finally end their catastrophic conflict. An apatosaurus fossil was sent below the ocean waves while a tyrannosaurus fossil was gifted to the lava mountains."
The information was taken in by the two before Twilight heard a strong voice filled with fire and warmth. "Mt. Lavaflow…." It spoke in a male tone.
"Mt. Lavaflow!" She blurted out of the bloom.
The chieftain was shocked but nodded. "Y-yes, that was where the tyrannosaurus fossil was sent, digadig. It was sealed long ago by our ancestors. Assuming Bullwort hasn't found it, it should still be there somewhere."
"How did you know that, Twilight?" Holt asked curiously.
"I….I keep seeing visions of Igno, and….I heard his voice." She answered.
"Y-you...heard him...speak, digadig?" Breathed the chieftain in awe. Twilight nodded to him, confirming his answer to her explanation. His eyes closed as he gave a bow along with many of the nearby tribe members.
"W-Why are you bowing to me?" Twilight asked with a blush.
"Only a chosen one can hear their voice and wield their power properly." The chief explained. "Unlike that buffoon who took control of Frigi for his own greed. You have been chosen by Igno to battle alongside him, digadig."
Holt blinked. "So you're saying Twi's going to have a legendary vivosaur to battle with?" The chief nodded before Holt slightly chuckled and smiled at his girlfriend. "Well, look at you. Looks like the god of fire has taken a liking to you." Twi flushed as she stared at her boyfriend.
"You two must not delay, digadig." The chief spoke. "While we speak, Bullwort will become impatient, and soon, our island will become a frozen wasteland." Both fighters nodded and retreated back to the dig site entrance.
Meanwhile, back at the old Richmond building Bullwort decided to have a chat with Mr. Richmond and the Paleos.
"Where is my grandaughter!?" Richmond demanded while he was restrained by cuffs and the bandit lackeys.
Bullwort snickered. "Relax Gramps, I haven't done anything to her...yet."
Ty's father snarled. "I swear, if you did anything to my son…!"
"Don't get your tongue tied up. He's with the pink haired girl." He spoke with a grin. "Though I can't say he's in a good spot." The bandit leader grinned as he pushed a button before revealing Rosie still slightly frozen and what looked like a blue reptile encased in ice.
"W...what is that?" Ty's mother breathed in shock.
"Oh? He never told you about his big secret?" Bullwort smirked. "Apparently he can turn into a giant dragon covered in gemstones." His grin turned darker. "I wonder how much I could get by removing those scales of his."
His father snarled and lunged, but was held back by the lackeys. "You put one finger on him, I'll tear you apart! You hear me!?"
"I wouldn't get so worked up. He'll be long dead by the time he thaws out of that ice block. He won't feel a thing." Bullwort sneered as he sat in Richmond's chair. "That is of course, unless you three would like to negotiate some terms with me, in exchange for the lives of these two."
"What are you talking about?" Richmond asked with a glare. The leader grinned and muttered something into a walkie talkie. On the screen the cell doors opened as a few lackeys walked in and surrounded Rosie. They each had grins as they crept closer to her. "What are you doing to my granddaughter?" Richmond asked again.
"Me?" Bullwort asked innocently. "I'm not doing anything to her. My men on the other hand...seem like they want to play with her."
This caused Richmond to pale, knowing what he was talking about. "No….you would let them…" The man smirked as the lackeys in the cell began feeling the pinkette up. There was no sound, but they can see Rosie was screaming and pleading them to stop with a blush on her face. "No! Wait! Please don't do this to her!" The old man begged in panic.
Bullwort grinned. "If you want them to stop then you'll have to give me something." As he spoke the lackeys were beginning to remove her clothes.
Richmond teared up and shouted. "I'll give you anything, I'll even give you my company! Just please stop harassing her!" He pleaded. Bullwort laughed in victory and ordered his men to stand down. They groaned but followed orders and threw her back in the cell and left. Richmond whimpered in defeat, but was relieved his granddaughter was ok.
"You sick fuck." Ty's father snarled. "Using that poor girl to your advantage like that."
The ex police captain snorted. "Like I care. My own daughter helped advance my plans when I prompted her to. And look where-" Bullwort stopped talking when he realized Bailey wasn't in the cell. He growled into his communicator. "Could someone explain why that sad excuse of a daughter isn't in the cell?!"
"Sir, we have it on camera. It was….Rex!? That mutt helped her escape?!" A grunt called from the cameras at the station.
"Grrr, I am soooo putting down that beast when I find him." The leader growled before turning to Ty's Parents. "Well, back to the matter at hand, let's talk about you two."
Ty's father glared at him. "We will not give you anything. If you think Ty is helpless you are sadly mistaken."
Bullwort glared at him, before a sly grin formed. "Maybe so...but you're forgetting...the little Richmond girl is going to be part of your little family, yes?"
"What's your point?" Demanded Mrs. Paleo. "Leave her out of this. She didn't do anything to you."
"You are right, but since your son is to marry her...that puts her in your business as well." The man chuckled evilly. "Do I really need to show you all what will happen to her if you don't give in again?"
Richmond paled once more. He knows this will not end well. "Please, don't let them do this to her!" The Paleos looked at each other with defeated frowns. They knew there was nothing they could do.
"You…..you win." Ty's father sighed. "Just don't hurt Rosie…."
Bullwort blinked for a second. "Hmmmph, you took all the fun out of torturing you with this."
"At least you have our company now." Ty's mother glared.
"That's true, however…" His grin returned as he walked around her. "I want something more."
"What are you getting at?" Mrs. Paleo asked with her glare. He chuckled while his hand roamed her body.
"I have to say, you're one gorgeous woman...so I think I'll take the liberty...of taking you too." He smirked.
Mr. Paleo seethed while his wife paled. "You keep your filthy hands off her, you sick bastard!"
"Oh please, what can you do to stop me?" Bullwort sneered as he groped his wife's breasts hard. The woman whimpered as tears of shame fell while her husband roared and struggled to rip him apart.
As Bullwort continued to play with Mrs. Paleo's body, a new grunt came into the room and tapped his shoulder. "Forgive me for interrupting sir, but we just got reports of both Igno and the whereabouts of the other Paleo sibling."
Bullwort froze his body and pulled back. "Are you saying you haven't gotten hold of that little brat!?"
Ty's father breathed to relax before smirking. "Well, looks like you underestimated us Paleos asshole. Our little girl will be sure to put you out of your pathetic misery when she finds this 'Igno'."
The bandit leader growled to the grunt. "You're coming with me. When they reveal Igno we'll use our new device on it so it won't be a threat. After that, I could care less what you do with her." The bandit nodded as they left the room.
Richmond shivered a bit. "We gotta find a way to contact Twilight about this. If they find her, who knows what they'll do to her...or to my granddaughter and you, Mrs. Paleo."
Mr. Paleo grunted in agreement as he fumbled with his watch. There was a bit of static before he spoke. "Twilight, are you there?"
As Twilight and Holt entered the mountains to find Igno, her watch was speaking something out. "Twilight, are you there?"
She gasped and answered it. "Daddy? Is that you?"
"Yes, listen to me. I don't know how much time there is, but you have to hurry. Bullwort is on his way to your location." Her father explained.
Twilight gasped a bit. "What do you mean he's coming?"
"He knows where you'll be to find this 'Igno' he talked about, something about a device to make sure you won't be a threat to him. You must find this 'Igno'. If you don't, Bullwort will let his men...use you, along with your mother and Rosie." He explained further.
Twilight paled in fear as Holt gripped her waist and growled. "To hell he will."
"Twilight, you are our only hope to save us and this island...we're counting on you, sweetie." Mr. Paleo spoke softly.
"I'll save you, Daddy. I promise." Twi whimpered. The connection was lost as they continued ahead into the mountains. Twilight was afraid to what will happen, but then the voice of Igno spoke to her.
"Do not worry, child. I will guide you." He spoke warmly. "To reach me, you'll have to first stop the flow of molten rock."
His words confused the girl. "Stop the flow? How am I supposed to do that? Is it like there's a switch that can just shut it off."
Igno chuckled slightly. "Yes there is, child. There is a valve in the mountains that can stop the flow of the lava."
Twi blinked, "like a water faucet?"
"Yes, I will guide you to the valve." Igno spoke as he showed the vision of the path to take. The girl nodded as she lead the way with Holt trailing after her. The two took the path until they reached a door blocking their way. "To open the door, you must create a perfect statue of what you see on the door." Igno explained. Holt leaned forward and took note of an empty slot which resembled of a digadig tribe member, as if it was praying to its gods. He grabbed a nearby rock and handed it to his girlfriend. Twilight nodded before taking the rock, but realized she doesn't take a drill to carve the rock.
"Allow me." Scorpio beeped before scanning the empty slot and began carving away at the stone. Minutes later, the rock was carved in the desired shape. Holt took the rock and gently slid it in. The ground rumbled before the door descended into the ground.
"Ha! It worked!" Holt cheered before smiling at Twilight. "Twi, we owe Ty big time for him making Scorpio for you." The girl nodded as she slowly stroked the robot. The two pressed on and saw another door in the shape of a dinosaur. Scorpio once more scanned the hole and carved another stone. Holt put it on and they moved on when the door opened. They soon reached another room, which was filled with large and unbreakable rocks. "Now what?" Holt asked.
"The valve is hidden in a stone that can be destroyed. Look in the place where the stone circle the rock." Igno guided. Twilight rushed around looking for anything that resembled what Igno described. In the far corner was indeed a ring of rocks surrounding and oddly colored one. Scorpio verted into a pick as Twi cracked the rock open. As it crumbled away, the valve of was revealed.
"Ah! Holt! Over here!" Twi called happily.
"Nice job, Twi." Holt grinned before kissing her cheek. "Now let's get this closed." Both gripped tightly onto the large rusted wheel. They took a few minutes of sweat and muscle before they turned it before the ground shook for a moment. "I think that did it." Holt breathed.
"Now young one, exit this cave and find my chamber. It lies across the emptied lava river bed." Igno explained. The two left the room and saw the lava was now gone. They took Igno's advice and found the cave that was once protected by the river of lava. When they entered the caves, they felt incredible power of fire flowing in the room. "Very good, now please, retrieve my fossil so we may bring order back to the island." Twilight took her sonar out and found the location of Igno's fossil. She dug in the area before she saw it. A cherry pink fossil glowed from within its rock, waiting to be revived.
"Holt! We found it!" Twilight cheered as she grabbed it and hugged it in her arms.
"So you have." A voice spoke as the two turned and paled to see Bullwort and some lackeys. "Not that will do you any good." He grinned before whipping out a small ray gun and zapped the fossil rock.
Igno grunted as the fossil rock hardened. "N..No...he...hardened the rock around me...I..I can't...release my power…."
Bullwort cackled. "Thanks to this imperva-ray that rock is now harder than a diamond." He smirked. "And thanks to you dear girl, you have made my life so much easier. Now, the world is at my fingertips, and nothing will stop me." The bandit leader turned to his lackeys before leaving. "Seize them."
The lackeys smirked as they chuckled as they advanced the two. Twilight paled and started stepping back before four V-raptors appeared and hissed with Holt in front.
"You wanna get to her, you gotta get through me, assholes!" He spoke angrily.
"Holt…!" Twi gasped in shock. The bandits sneered and summoned their own vivosaurs to their aid.
"Twi! Take Ruby and get back to the center! I'll hold them off as long as I can!" Holt ordered.
Twi shook her head. "I can't just leave you here!" A few vivosaurs advanced to them as Holt's Raptors except Ruby lunged into battle.
"There's no time, you gotta go, now!" He countered.
"I won't leave you!" Twilight spoke.
"DO AS I SAY!" Holt bellowed in demand with a firm glare. Twilight shook in fear as Ruby sprinted for her and placed the girl on her back before taking off.
"HOOOOOOOOLLLLTT!" Twilight screamed as his vivosaur carried her away.
Holt softly smiled. "Good luck Twilight. I believe in you." He faced the grunts as they too started their battle with the boy. "Bring it you fucking bastards!"
Twilight stepped back onto the docks of the main town resort. Her eyes were bloodshot as she still cried for her boyfriend. The boy's raptor whimpered and nuzzled her side as they walked back to the center. "Don't worry dear. He'll be ok. I know he will be." Ruby spoke while licking her gently. Twilight continued to cry as they walked inside where Diggins and the others were waiting.
"Twilight, there you are." Diggins breathed in relief but saw her crying. "What happened...and where's Holt?"
"He...he...stayed behind so...I could escape the bandits…" She sobbed. Diggins and the others frowned as the man hugged her.
"He did the right thing, and we're grateful for his courage in helping you escape." Diggins spoke softly.
Vivian noticed the rock in her hand. "I'll be damned, you found the fossil."
The blonde nodded. "Yeah, but...Bullwort shot it...with some kind of ray gun."
The bandits paled. "Oh shit...he must have used the imperva ray." Snivels spoke in fear.
Diggins frowned in confusion. "The...imperva ray? What does it do?"
"The imperva Ray has the ability to harden anything into diamond, making it impossible to break, or even get a scratch or crack in it." Vivian explained. Diggins grew shocked to this and pondered.
"Damn, if that ray can do that….Twilight we'll have to go to the lab and try to clean the fossil." He explained. Twilight nodded as she wiped her tears and followed him. As they got to the lab, they set the rock down and Twi took the cleaning tools. She tried hitting it with a hammer but it left no crack or mark to where she hit it. In fact, it seemed to only dent the hammer itself. She tried using the drill, but when she did it only dulled the tip. "Well, shit...I don't have any idea how to clean it if it only breaks the tools." Diggins groaned.
Twilight sobbed again and laid on Igno's fossil. "I...I'm sorry...I...I failed…."
Silence fell in the room before a new voice spoke. "I can help with your situation." The two looked at the doorway to find another blonde girl in white clothes approach them. "Young lady, please step back from the fossil." She spoke softly. Twi looked at her in desperation as she backed away. The blonde approached and then pulled out her own ray gun and fired. The rock glowed as the rock loosened up and started glowing red, Igno's power finally returning to full glory.
The scientist gaped at her. "How did…? What did…?"
"It is done." She spoke before walking away.
"W-Wait!" Twilight spoke up as the blonde looked back. "Why...did you help us?"
The young blonde gave a small smile. "Think of this as a way of repaying your brother, Tyrant Paleo for saving my life." She then walked out. Twi was astonished that she knew who her brother really was.
"Twilight," Diggins spoke. "I don't know who she was, but the readings on the rock are back to normal. This is our last chance. Clean the fossil as best you can." Twi nodded nervously as she picked up new tools and got to work. Every chunk of rock she removed seemed to evaporate into red dust.
"Keep going, child. I can feel my power getting stronger." Igno encouraged. Sweat poured down Twilight's cheek as the final bit of rock was removed. When the fossil was clean, it became enveloped in a bright red light as it shrank on its own. All that remained after the light faded was a black rimmed medal. "I am finally whole. It is time young Twilight. Bring me to Bullwort. My battle with Frigi, is now." The girl held the coin tightly in her hand as warmth flooded over her. She glared with determination as she raced out of the center.
"Good luck Twilight," Diggins spoke to himself, "we're all counting on you."
Back at the Richmond Building, Bullwort told the Paleo family and Richmond about his achievement as they were weeping and seething in rage. "Your chances of stopping me are now finished. The world is in my hands." The man smirked. There was a ding from the elevator door as it opened to reveal young Twilight. "Well well, look who decided to show up. Did your boyfriend play the hero and stay behind?"
The young blonde glared. "His sacrifice of staying behind will not go in vain. I'm here to stop you, Bullwort. But I'll give you one chance. Free my brother, free everyone you have captive and give me my family back, or I'll scorch you to Hell."
The man shook dramatically in fake fear. "Oh no, whatever will I do?" He snapped his fingers as several lackeys surrounded her. "Just kidding." The grunts reached out to grab her only to be met with a fiery aura. The grunts groaned in pain before passing out cold. "What?" Bullwort gasped.
"You will not lay a finger on this child, you foul being of twisted evil." Igno's voice echoed with power in the room, filled with anger.
Bullwort was shaking for real now. "No...impossible! I made that rock harder than a diamond, you couldn't have freed him!"
Twilight glared before the medal hovered out, surrounded by a fiery aura. "You'd be surprised to how we Paleos know others in our time in need." Bullwort's Frigi medal hovered as well, the auras of the two mixed and sparked.
"Igno…." Frigi breathed in pain, but voice filled with slight hope to see her long rival...but long time friend. "Please...defeat me…"
Bullwort growled. "Oh fucking perfect. Now that he's here their awesome powers are negated."
"You rely on power and believe you are a god. It's time I show you what power truly is, by the bond and connection between the fighter and their vivosaur!" Twilight stated as she grabbed Igno's Medal. "Igno, come forth from the flames of Hell!" She threw her medal out as it blasted out a massive wave of fire everywhere.
"I will end you!" Cried Bullwort as he threw out Frigi as she burst forth with blast of arctic wind. The two legendary titans emerged and faced each other. Frigi shaking by the abuse and pain taken earlier while Igno, who looked like a T-rex but with a fire mane and body stood ready.
"Hold strong my friend, this will be over soon." Igno promised.
"Ice Age!" Bullwort screamed. Frigi glared at the tiny human and laid down. "Whaaaaattt?!"
"You can't control a god, bullwort." Twilight spoke. "They can only follow the commands of the fighter they deem worthy. You are not that fighter to control her." She glanced at her own titan. "Do what you have to, set her free."
"Of course, my lady." Igno nodded before roaring. "Inferno Breath!" He blasted a massive stream of fire at Frigi, hitting her hard. She screamed in pain as her body let off tons of mist and as it filled the room.
"Do as I say you fucking animal!" The man bellowed at Frigi, who still ignored him. She flicked her tail and slammed him into the wall behind him.
"Burning Bite!" Igno roared before biting into her neck hard, blasting flames in her skin. Frigi screamed again as her power began to fail her.
"Almost there….one more attack...will finish me." She whimpered, tears falling, but she was smiling.
"Forgive me for having to do this."Igno growled sadly. He bit down once more with a deafening crunch.
Frigi cried out as the ice aura in the room finally faded away. Igno released her as she fell. The sauropod sobbed, out of pain and relief. She felt the pain in her mind gone...she was finally free. "Thank...you….." She breathed before vanishing in her medal. Igno roared in victory as he too retreated in his medal.
Twilight caught him and smiled softly, holding it to her cheek. "Thank you...Igno." Bullwort gave a groan of pain as he fell from the wall to fall, unconscious.
The elevators opened as some police officers came in. "We have arrested the bandits. They'll be sent to the highest security prison so they never bother the island again." They approached the bandit leader and cuffed him. "As for Bullwort, he'll be in lockdown...forever." They were about to leave when Twilight stopped them.
"What about my brother, where is he?" Twi asked in panic.
The officers looked in confusion before a pink headed appeared from the elevator. "Come quickly, he's still frozen!" Rosie cried. Twilight didn't waste a second as she entered the elevator and they ran to the station and into the cells, seeing the poor dragon still in the block of ice.
"We don't have much time. Place my medal on the ice." Igno instructed. The fighter quickly placed his medal down as his heat flowed into the block. The ice melted quickly as a puddle formed under their feet. When the last of the ice was gone,Tyrant's dragon form reversed back into his human body.
"Oh thank god." Rosie breathed in relief that they made it in time.
Twilight kneeled and held her brother in her arms. "Ty...please wake up…" There was several moments of silence. "...Ty…?" She lifted his arm and released it as it dropped limp to the floor. Horror filled the two girls eyes. "TYYYYYYY!"
Phew, feels good to finally have another chapter done and posted. So yeah, lot of shit went down and this could be it for Tyrant. Will he recover or will this be the last we see of him? Only time will tell. And to be clear, at this point I do have the rest of the chapters written. I just need to edit and post them.
