Love Lasts Forever
Chapter 13: A Quarter Mile Left To Go!
Previously on Love Lasts Forever: Hamtaro and the gang really don't like the new path they have to follow. It's so dark and scary! They really don't have any trouble resisting the pleasures of the dirt road the mouse creature warned them about though. Until they see Bo on it. They're all happy that Bo's alive, and he convinces them to follow the dirt road with him! Then, Spat and Hamtaro both realize that this Bo is a fraud! It's actually Glacier, who challenges Boss, Hamtaro, and Spat in his new form, Inferno the Fiery Dragon! They fight it off, and then find their way to a safehaven where they can sleep peacefully. Now, they've passed the first half mile, and they continue their journey.....
Glacier sat on his bed muttering bitterly. "If-ow-only I had killed that-ow-one hamster!" Glacier was having his slashes treated. It hurt, but he could take it. Then, two other hamsters came to him. "You need something, sir?" said the one with black fur and a white spot around his left eye. "Yes, yang. Where's Yin?" A hamster came running into the room. He was white with a black spot around his right eye. "Sorry sir," he said, out of breath. Glacier then asked them to pick up the two suits of armor on the table. One suit was silver, and one was gold. "Go-ow-to the city-ow-gate. Meet-ow-me there, and-ow-I'll fly you-ow-to the-ow-Temple!" "Yes sir" The two soldiers took the armor and walked out. About five minutes later, all the cuts had been stitched by the means of this magic spell, Glacier turned into Inferno, and he flew the dressed-in-armor guards to the three-fourth mile sign on the path.
Hamtaro and the group were taking a break. They all sat down and had bottled tea, and talked about what would happed when they got to the Temple. They also wondered if they were lost for a moment, but Daisy said they couldn't be lost because they had seen the mile marker signs. They cleaned up their mess, and dug a deep hole to put all their trash in. Then, they kept going along the path. Later, they became 100 sure that they weren't lost because they found the paved road. The nice path had come up again, and the birds were chirping like crazy. Then, Spat walked up to Hamtaro. "Hamtaro, you know how the birds stop chirping when something bad comes?" Hamtaro nodded. "Yeah, well, if they do that, how come they don't stop when I go by?" Hamtaro looked at him for a moment. Then, Hamtaro smiled and said, "It's just like Pashmina said. You've changed. You're not a bad hamster anymore. You're just like us." Spat slightly smiled. Then, he just looked foward and kept going.
Glacier was already halfway through the quarter mile. He had already changed into Inferno, with Yin and Yang riding on his back. Inferno was talking to them about what they had to do. The soldiers were kind of tired, so they caught parts of what they had to do. " Guard the three fourth line.....Hamtaro and.....refuse passage.......if they fight.....hide bodies......ARE YOU LISTENING?!" Yin and Yang jumped. "Uh..Sure we are! We're listening!" Inferno scoffed. "No you weren't. Now-AH, FORGET IT!!! I'll just TELL YOU LATER!" They flew on, and Yin and Yang dozed off. Soon, Inferno told them to wake up because he was going to turn back, and they woke up.
They were still going, when all of a sudden, the birds went quiet! The group stopped and looked around. They could all hear the approaching beating of huge wings, and Hamtaro shouted, "Hide!" They all hid behind stones or under roots and listened as the wings stopped! Hamtaro listened for a moment, and then about two minutes later, the birds started singing again. Hamtaro peeked his head from behind a rock, and sighed. "Guys," he said. "It's okay now." Everyone came out from their hiding places and got in a group. Then, a rabbit ran by and they darted out of the way. Hamtaro and his friends went into the grass and watched as birds flew by and mammals and squirrels ran past. After the crowd, the hamsters went back into the road and Daisy said, "What was up with that?!" Then, Spat turned around and said, "Duck!" Everyone got down, and above their heads swooped an enormous golden eagle! Hamtaro shouted, "Run!" They darted down the path as fast as they could. Every time the eagle swooped down to catch them up, the hamsters would try and dodge it. Until once when it swooped and began to come back at Hamtaro, he had an idea. Hamtaro told the gang to keep running, and Hamtaro stopped where he was! Bijou and the others kept running, but they shouted, "Hamtaro! What are you doing?!"
Hamtaro pulled out his jewel-crested staff, and when the eagle swooped down, he grabbed onto one of its talons! As they flew into the air, Hamtaro readied his weapon, and when the eagle was just about a foot high from the ground, he slashed at the birds leg( he didn't cut it off)! The eagle screeched and dropped Hamtaro, and he rolled across the ground. Spat flew back and carried Hamtaro back with the group. The eagle flew away, and the gang slowed down. Boss almost passed out from lack-of-air, but Hamtaro held him up. As Hamtaro looked up, he saw a sign that said: You Now Have A Quarter Mile Left To Go To The Temple Of Heaven! Alas, there at the sign was two guards.
Next time on Love Lasts Forever: Hamtaro and the gang have to think about how to deal with the guards. Then, they decide that they have to fight. But, in a desperate time of their battle, they think of a rather amusing way to get rid of them. Then, they start off for the last part up the mountain. Soon they reach the Temple of Light, and there, on a gold stand, is the Scepter of Heaven's Light! They exit, eady for the journey back, but will have another thing to take care of...Something that will declare the lives of all....
