Chapter 4:

"Oh man. Please be ok!"

"H-he's not dead...is he?!"

"...Uh, let me check..."

"HUNTER! Don't poke him with a stick!"

"Well how am I gonna check him then?!"

"How about checking if he's breathing?!"

"...Oooh...yup he's breathing."

Even though he was blacked out, he could hear the voices of Spyro's friends. It seems as though that last trample made him unconcious for a few hours. For all he knew, it would be the last one he would ever do again! Ripto opened his eyes slowly, to be blinded by the suns rays. They were in Summer Forest again.

Elora: Oh thank goodness your ok! (hugs Ripto)

Spyro(Ripto): Rrr...(rubs head), I think I have a migrane.

Hunter: I saw the whole thing! You ended up hit you skull hard on the concrete! You were out for five hours!

Spyro(Ripto): (glares and grids teeth) 'That little...GOOD FOR NOTHING-'

Hunter: Uh...you ok Spyro? You look angry for some reason.

Spyro(Ripto): THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS RUBISH!!!

Bianca: What's wrong?

Spyro(Ripto): What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?! I've been in this body for at least three days, and when I figure I'll get use to walking on all fours, I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU LOT!!

Hunter: Hey, its not my fault you beefed it! You don't have to be a sore-sport about it!

Bianca: Both of you don't start! Spyro just needs some rest.

Spyro(Ripto): NO MORE REST! NO MORE RECOVERY! I've had it up to HERE with you people! This place is worse than the Beast Makers World!

Bianca: Well sorry for helping out! Come on Hunter!

Hunter: I'll be happy to. See ya later Elora. (both leave)

Elora: Spyro, they're just trying to help. (hugs him) You need rest.

Spyro(Ripto): (shoves her) DON'T TOUCH ME! Its your kind that I loath entirely! I think there need to be changes around here!

Elora: W-what do you mean? I've never seen you like this!

Spyro(Ripto): DEAL WITH IT! You have to once I'm King!

Elora: Spyro, you know that I'm the ruler, and the elections don't start in a year from now! You never wanted to rule anything!

Spyro(Ripto): (grins evilly) That election can be arranged.

Elora:...Y-your scarying me Spyro. Stop it!

Spyro(Ripto): I suppose there are some things that you don't know about me, do you? Well your making this place a LIVING UNDERWORLD!

Elora: H-how could you?! I thought we had something special! (runs off crying)

Spyro(Ripto): The only thing that was special was the DIRT I ate! AND I DIDN'T LIKE THAT TURKEY EITHER! 'Stupid, moronic animals! I'll show them what the other side of Spyro is really like!' MUHAHAHAHA-eh-cack! Geez. I can't even chackle my own way with Spyro's voice box. BLASTED BODY!


Ripto's Lair:

Gulp: CRUSH?! WHERE'S THAT TORTURE DEVICE THINGY RIPTO WANTED?!

Crush: (uncovers ears) GULP! We're in the same room! Don't yell! What did it look like?

Gulp: Uh...it had spikes on it, with green acid fluid on them, and-

Crush: Gulp, all the tools have that!

-SLAM!-

The main door slammed open, making both of them jump off their feet. Spyro walked through, slumped over and bruised. He had to run through poison ivy filled forests, climb sharp edged mountains, almost got burned crossing the bridge to the lair, and ended up tripping over a rock in the way just to escape the Sorceress.

Ripto(Spyro): That lady...IS INSANE! SHE NEARLY KILLED ME!

Crush:...Had a problem this time, huh?

Ripto(Spyro): THAT'S IT! I HATE THIS BODY! Not only do I look like a shmo, but I can't be as physical as I was before! This place stinks on ICE!

Crush and Gulp huddled for a second and whispered a few comments.

Ripto(Spyro): My friends, my family, I'LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN!

Gulp: Uh...sir?

Ripto(Spyro): What?!

Crush: We came to the conclusion that...well, now we're starting to think that you really are Spyro.

Ripto(Spyro): (O.o) 'T-they believe me? They ACTUALLY believe me?!' Uh...you do?

Crush: Yeah. We figured...since Ripto doesn't have a PS2 around here, you end up with a portibal one.

Gulp: That, and Ripto hates pizza.

Ripto(Spyro): REALLY?! This is too awsome! Wait...then, why aren't you guys attacking me?

Crush:...Would it make any sense to beat up our boss' body? We do that, we'll never have him back.

Ripto(Spyro): Well...at least someone believes me. But I still need to get to my friends! Who knows what your boss is doing to them!

Crush: That's why we're gonna help you. When Ripto runs out of magic, he uses a back-up portal to mostly every world.

Ripto(Spyro): Are you serious?! What are we waiting for then?!

Gulp:...Not the Academy Awards.

Crush: (-.-) That made no sense what so ever.

Gulp: I KNOW! (cheesy grin)

Crush and Gulp led Spyro down the main hall to a blue door. The door opened to reveal a room full of old portal chambers! Crush turned on the one in the middle, which was a gold one. The portal lit up to shine the letters "Dragon Realms" on the edge.

Ripto(Spyro): Man, this is great! You guys are alright. I always thought you were evil, but I was wrong.

Crush: Yeah, your ok too.

Gulp: It's been fun!

Ripto(Spyro): (starts to walk, but stops) You know, once I'm in my body again, we'll have to go back to being enemies.

Gulp: Well...we gotta do what we gotta do. It was meant to be...

Ripto(Spyro): Thanks. 'Hang on guys! I'm coming!'

Spyro ran at full speed through the portal, where his body dissapeared within the light. The portal suddenly turned off.

Crush: (stares blankly at Gulp) Wow...that was actually...wise!

Gulp:(confused) What? I just read it off a label.

Crush: (-.-)...You'll never change.
