Chapter Fourteen: The Climax of the Story

About two hours later, when they had all of the ideas set out, they started to walk towards the room that Bubbles had been the other day. Their plan was to first acknowledge that they had Bubbles (so Claug wouldn't fry them) and then bring him in. Bubbles, of course, had his bow and arrow's hidden, hoping that somehow they would be able to find a weak spot in the dragon's thick skulled head. Any way, when they were a reasonable distance from the Dragon's Room, they yelled, "WE HAVE YOUR THIEF WITH US!"

"REALLY? DID YOU SEE MY LAMPOST POSTER?" Claug asked.

"YEA, I GUESS." They yelled.

"OK, BRING HIM IN THEN." Claug replied. So the group of Dworcs brought Bubbles, who was getting ready to shoot his bow, like all of the Dworcs.

"WHY, HERE IS MY LITTLE THIEF." Claug said.

"You don't need to yell, we are right here." Gandork reasoned.

"And you don't really need to live, because I am right here." Claug threatened.

"Actually, I do need to live, because if you kill me here, I will just come back later." Gandork reasoned.

"OK then." Claug said. He then scooped up and ate Gandork. "That should teach him some manners."

"Why would it?" Gandork asked, crawling back up to Claug's mouth. Gandork then shot a lightning bolt in middle of Claug's mouth. Ouch, Bubble's thought. Anyway, all of the Dworcs and Bubbles pulled out their bows and pointed them towards Claug in a threatening stance. Claug, now getting kinda mad at Gandork, didn't notice. Bubbles then noticed a weak spot in Claug's head.

"THE EYES. IT IS THE EYES!" Bubbles yelled triumphantly, not knowing that the Dworcs were running away. Bubbles noticed something odd, though.

"Gandork, why do you always die when we need you?" Bubbles asked. Of course he didn't get answered. Bubbles pulled his bow back and shot.

"OUCH!" Claug said, having not noticed that Bubbles was still in the room. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

"Why do all of the enemies ask that when we are one on one?" Bubbles asked, loading another arrow.

"I don't really know." Claug said, stopping to think. Bubbles then shot.

"Can you stop that? I'm trying to think!" Claug said angrily. Bubbles loaded his last arrow. Now this was not just any arrow. This was called the Black Arrow, and it had never missed the target.

"This one is for you, Gandork the WhateverColorYouAre." And Bubbles pulled the trigger. Actually, he let go of the string, but that doesn't sound as good. Anyway, the arrow went right towards Claug's eye. and missed.

"Now I told you to stop that. I am going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Boogers." Claug said.

"My name. is Bubbles." Bubbles said. Claug then shot three fireballs at Bubbles. Suddenly, as the fireballs grew near to Bubbles, the book became slow motion. Bubbles then leaned back until his back was parallel to the floor. He easily dodged the first one, but the other two ripped off a little flesh.

"How did you do that?" Gandork asked.

"Do what?" Bubbles asked.

"I've never seen anyone move that fast." Gandork said.

"It wasn't fast enough." Bubbles pointed out, looking down at his scars. "By the way, what's the new robe color?"

"Yellowish-Green." Gandork said. Of course Claug just stood there and listened. Bubbles then heard a loud sound that sounded like a crackling fire. Claug had taken all of the shares, and he had set the floor on fire! (I did say that it was wooden, remember?)

"You here that? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of your death." Claug exclaimed. Claug then flew out of the room. Bubbles looked around. Bubbles and Gandork were inside of a burning room, and there were two ways out. By flying out the roof, or by them both excepting death and hope I am generous enough to let them come back. Bubbles looked around the room. It was now empty, except.

"The Black Arrow!" Bubbles yelled, running to pick it up.

"It is no use to us now." Gandork wisely pointed out. Bubbles, however, had a plan. Bubbles set the arrow on fire, and shot it up into the blue sky.

Long away, in a town on the foot of the Single Mountain, a scout was startled. He could have sworn that he had seen a burning piece of wood fly from the mountain. However, he thinks he was just hallucinating, so he goes back to his daily life.

Meanwhile, back in the Single Mountain, Gandork had given up all hope. Bubbles determined to finish off the adventure or die trying, which he thought was going to happen, was thinking of ideas. He soon gave up and tried to play back the adventure. He soon remembered something.

"Your motorcycle! You can call your motorcycle!" Bubbles exclaimed.

"I knew you were good for something! Now let me think of the spell." Gandork said.

"I remember!" He then said these mumbo-jumbo words, and a few sparks flew from Gandork's staff. After a few minutes something flew over head. It was the motorcycle, but there was someone on it! It was a Thing!

"Looking for this?" It asked.

"Actually, we were. Hand it over, please." Bubbles said, showing him the flower. The Thing then jumped off of the motorcycle. Gandork jumped on to it.

"Hurry, he will be burnt with the rest of the room." So Bubbles jumped onto the motorcycle.

Thorninyuras and the rest of the Dworcs were in dismay. They saw their leader get eaten and could here the angry call of Claug, thinking Bubbles was also dead. Thorninyuras, finally defeated, led the group out of the Single Mountain. They looked around at the blue sky, looking for a sign of Gandork. They could see none, but they could see something bad. The Dragon!

"Please.don't.hurt.us." Thorninyuras barely managed.

"Why should I spare you. you freaks." Claug spat. "You set up a plan to kill me. Let me tell you what." But he never got a chance to. He soon got rampaged with the arrows of the group.

"You think that hurts me? I have armor, you stupid BEEB." Claug said. However, Thorninyuras refused to give up.

"Reload.Aim.FIRE!" He kept barking. Claug, being a little preoccupied, did not notice that there was a little motorcycle near the top of his head. Bubbles then jumped onto the top of Claug's head, wielding Gandork's longsword, which was three times larger than he was. It went deep into Claug's head. Gandork then took out his staff and shot fireballs into Claug's face.

"How do you like that, huh?" Gandork screamed. Claug screamed in pain.

"STOP, STOP!" He yelled.

"Why should I spare you. you freak." Thorninyuras said. After a long, boring fight, Claug finally dropped down dead. There was one mistake in the plan, which you probably noticed.

"BUBBLES!" Gandork yelled. Bubbles airsurfed on Claug, and jumped off right before it hit the ground.

"He needs to brush his teeth, what ever he ate last stinks!" Bubbles said.

"Shut up." Gandork said. "OH BEEB! I BURNT THE STOCK!"

"What did you say?" Thorninyuras asked furiously.

"OH BEEB! I BURNT THE STOCK!" Gandork repeated. They soon made their way to the top of the mountain, where there was a nice patch of trees, and spent the night. Bubbles woke up in middle of the night. Blubber was on watch, but Bubbles had an idea.

"Blubber, I am not able to sleep, let me take watch." Bubbles said.

"Well, I might get in trouble." Blubber said.

"No, you won't." Bubbles said, taking out his flower.

"I'll take your word for it." Blubber said, going to sleep. When Bubbles made sure all of the Dworcs (and Gandork) were asleep, he snuck down to the fallen dragon. Carefully cut the hide off in a shape about the size of his old armor, and sowed it together to make one sweet armor set. Bubbles put it on, and it weighed less than his normal clothes! He then went back to the camp, woke up Blubber, and told him he would try to sleep again.
