Chapter 8: The Spyrocitor
I never expected to get as many reviews as I did in my first month of writing actual fanfics.
Antiech: First month?! You've been here since December!
Antiroo: The Backie's Days of Christmas didn't exactly count as a fanfic. It was just a little thing he made up when he was bored.
Roo: He made us up when he was bored.
Wex: It doesn't matter how long he's been here or how he made us up! What matters is that he's got a stupid essay due in the next week and he won't be able to type so much until Saturday. Let's get this thing over with, Platypous!
Platypous: TTE owns nothing but us. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Nodek.
Roo: Nodek? What is it, Echish for nothing?
Princess Aquaech: Ce. Pueg, oh lo hicshtori! (Yes. Well, on with the story!)

After they had all donned winter outfits, the group of four set off for Winter Tundra to save Elora.
"Hunter, why aren't we using a portal to get there?" Spyro asked, "It's much faster, and Ripto could hurt Elora if we don't hurry."
"I believe that I have the answer for that," Clank said, "The Professor's invention is using all of the orbs' power."
"Oh, so it's your fault that Elora's in danger?" Spyro yelled angrily, "You just have to get back to your stupid galaxy so that you can be a hero, while my girlfriend is thinking of you all the time! Let's have it out, you and me, right now."
"No thanks," Ratchet responded.
"What's the matter? Are ya chicken?"
"Nobody calls me chicken, Dragon!" Ratchet said as he pulled out the Pyrocitor, "You'll regret you ever said that!"
"You did tell her, did you not?" Clank asked Hunter while the two heroes fought, "I promised you too many gems for you not to."
"Of course I did," Hunter replied with a small chuckle, "Spyro'll never know what hit him. Anyway, how close does the sensor say we are to the orb?"
"Apparently, it is only 100 meters away."
"Great! Now we can find Elora and help her before Ripto does anything to her"
"What about Elora?" Spyro said, taking a break from his battle, "What's going on?
"All right, Spyro, Ratchet, there doesn't seem to be any structures within a 100 meter radius, which is how far away the orb is located, for it to be," Clank said as he pointed to the Orb Locator's screen, "We all need to find an entrance to a seemingly underground cavern where the orb is located."
"Spyro! What did you do to the mountain?!" Hunter yelled when he saw the destruction where Ratchet and Spyro had had a flame battle, "You melted almost all of the snow over here!"
"Wait a second..." Ratchet said as he walked over to where Hunter pointed, "It looks like there's a door there." Sure enough, there was. Spyro, Hunter, Ratchet, and Clank walked to the door and they pondered what to do.
"I know!" Ratchet yelled after a minute, "How about Spyro and I use the Pyrocitor and his fire to melt the snow blocking this door and we can stop Ripto!"
Meanwhile, in Ripto's underground ice castle...
"I'll tell you for the last time, give me that orb!" Ripto yelled, echoing it around the room. "Or I'll make sure Dragon Boy gets it."
"I'd never give this to you, Ripto!" Elora shouted back, "You'll just have to take it."
"I will then, Goat Girl, and nobody can help you now."
"Hey, you, get your damn hands off her!" Spyro yelled as he landed on the floor, surprising Ripto.
Ah, so, you've finally arrived, Dragon. I see that it's come down to this yet again."
"Would you just give up, Shorty? If you quit now and you won't have to endure any more pain than you already did the last time I beat you."
"Not this time, Dragon, you see, I now have a powerful ally. He helped me get my power and army back and I helped him find a new planet to rule. We'll split the loot 50-50.
"Actually," an eerily familiar voice to Ratchet and Clank, who were listening from the doorway above, said, "I'll get the money, I'll leave you with the polluted planet."

Well, that's chapter 8, ending with yet another cliffhanger, and this time I meant it.
Antiech: He means that he won't be back for a little while, so chapter 9 will be sometime next week, no matter how many reviews he gets.
Yeah, sorry about that. I would have the next one up as soon as Wednesday, but this darn essay just had to come up.
Antiroo: Well, just remember, everybody, English class is evil and will only prevent fanfics, not help them. Review and we'll see you all next week!
