The young prince of the Earthwalkers, Tricky, was glad to have all of the

dangers of Dinosaur Planet behind him. However, he still craved the adventure that had come into his life while traveling with the Arwing-flying Fox McCloud. He remained with his parents, to one day fulfill his duties as the Earthwalker King.

After nearly a year of peace on Dino Planet, Tricky's adventurous side finally got the better of him. He longed for the battles that had shaped him ten months ago. One day, as he was wandering through Thorntail Hollow, searching for a thrill which he had not found since Fox left, he heard the tell-tale roar of Arwings above him.

A beat-up looking Arwing landed close to him, and a large, blue falcon stepped out. Tricky, who had been expecting the occupant to be Fox, was taken aback. The falcon looked at his surroundings, then took a step towards the bewildered prince.

"Are you that annoying little dinosaur Fox hung out with when he was here?" The falcon didn't wait for an answer. "Come with me. I have a mission for you." Tricky immediately ran after the falcon, who was already getting into his Arwing. Tricky willingly climbed into the cargo hold, and they took off.

"What are we gonna do? Are we gonna have fun? Huh, huh, huh?" Tricky couldn't contain his excitement, and jabbered nonstop. After a few minutes, the pair reached an active volcano, which everybody stayed away from. Hovering over the smoking opening, the falcon opened the cargo hold and lifted Tricky into his arms.

"There," he said, pointing into the fire below. "We need to put something on that part of the magma, or it will destroy the planet." Tricky looked up at him skeptically.

"How will that stop it?" He asked. The falcon shrugged.

"I dunno. I just wanted a reason to throw you into the volcano," He stated as he dropped Tricky unceremoniously into the bubbling magma.

Tricky was finally gotten rid of, and I got my hatred for him off of my shoulders.
