Chapter 5: Battling Out the Phoenix

Elora, Hunter, Nazza and Bianca were all looking at the map that Spyro had of Volcano Island and walking at the same time. They saw that the island didn't have a lot of trees, since the Volcano in the center took most of the space and it actually looked deserted. While everyone was looking at the beauty of the island Nazza had something else in mind, "Can we stop and rest my paws are getting blisters from walking to much." He said looking at his swollen paws. Elora, who was walking beside him tried to comfort him, "Nazza, I promise, after we get the red rune we'll stop and rest and we'll go after the Yellow and Green rune tomorrow, Okay?" Nazza looked up at Elora, "Well...Okay." He said rather sadly.

While Elora was calming the blue wolf Spyro was studying the map of the island with Bianca and Hunter, "So, how do we get inside?" Hunter asked. Spyro looked at the map some more then answered his question, " Well, according to this map it says that there's a door on the base of the Volcano that will lead us right towards the rune." Everyone went to the Volcano and began to walk around the Volcano in search of the door. Hunter kept observing the Volcano's top and saw that a lot of smoke was coming out, "Um... Bianca do you think that the Volcano will erupt?" Bianca looked at the Volcano then looked at Hunter, "Hunter, this Volcano has been dormant for a long time. The last time it erupted was right after the Sorceress banished the Dragons to the other side of the world. I don't think this Volcano will erupt in quite some time." Hunter was still gazing at the mountain, "Are you sure?"

"Positive." Suddenly they both herd Nazza calling, "Hey guys we found the door!" Bianca and Hunter went running towards them, but when they got there their happiness faded away. They could see a wide shallow pool of lava surrounding the door, making it impossible to get inside, "Well, we can't go inside better go home." Hunter said turning around about to leave, but before he went Bianca held him by the ear, "Yow! You don't have to do that!"

"We're not going anywhere, Hunter. There has to be a way passed this door someway, somehow we'll find it." Bianca said letting go of his ear. Elora looked at the pool again and saw bubbles forming in the middle, "Look!" she said pointing. Everyone saw a flat, grey rock with some writing on it coming out and floating towards them. Elora walked up and began to read the inscription, "

What is at the end of every place,

happens two times in eternity,

And is at the beginning of every end?"

Everyone was confused with the riddle, "What is this for?" Elora said. Spyro walked up closer to see the rock, "I think you have to answer the riddle to get inside."

"I don't think there is a answer to this riddle, I mean how can someone know what's at the beginning of every end?" Hunter sat down on a rock and rested his chin on his hands. "For once Hunter is right. We need help! Who was the guy who invented to put an unanswerable riddle for someone to solve? It just doesn't add up. We're not some kind of brain genius. " Nazza said. Spyro thought for a moment. The statement that Nazza just said clicked something in his mind. Spyro quickly got to his feet and began to look for the talkie-pad and saw the it in Elora's bag, "Elora, hand me your talkie-pad. Maybe The Professor can help?" Everyone thought that was a good idea. Elora tossed him the pad and in no time The Professor's face was on the screen of the pad and Spyro started the conversation, "Hi Spyro! Did you get the red rune yet?"

"No not yet. We are in Volcano Island, though and we found a door that leads inside, but it's surrounded by molten lava and to get inside we have to answer a riddle, which is a brain stumper."

"Tell me the riddle, maybe I know it?" Spyro walked up to the stone in the lava and began to read the riddle:

"What is at the end of every place,

Happens two times in eternity,

And is at the beginning of every end?"

Spyro looked back at The Professor and saw him writing it down, "Hummm, this is a toughie." The Professor kept studying the riddle that felt like two hours. Spyro sometimes kept dosing off while the long pause, Nazza and Hunter were both sleeping on each other without even knowing and Bianca and Elora were waiting impatiently for the report, "Aha!" The Professor said abruptly. The shout startled Spyro waking Him up completely, Hunter and Nazza jumped up and fell on the ground and almost started an argument. And Bianca and Elora stood up to see what the Professor had to say , "Aha, what?" They all questioned enthusiastically.

"I've got good news and bad news, the bad news is that I don't know the answer..." Everyone rolled their eyes and sat back down murmuring, "and the good news is that I think it has to do with the spelling of the word, not the object it self." Spyro gazed at the rock, "Well, thanks for your help. Oh by the way, do you know what's guarding the rune? So we can know what we're dealing with here."

"Just one moment." The Professor walked out of the screen then he came back with a book. The Professor started to flip through the pages, "The Guard of the red rune is a phoenix, a bird made of fire. You know I have a friend that's a phoenix, he lives in-". "Well, thanks for the information Professor." He said quickly not wanting to hear one of his ever ending stories. And with that the screen went dark. When Spyro turned around he saw Elora glued to rock and studying the words. Spyro walked up to her, "The Professor said-"

"I know, I know, I'm just trying to figure the puzzle out." She interrupted. "Well, don't you want a break first?" he asked. Elora shook, "We, just had a break." Spyro smiled, "Yeah, two hours worth. That guy can sure think. Well, if you need anything or discover any new info. On the riddle, give a holler." Elora nodded Spyro left her with the stone. When she saw she was all alone she began to concentrate; she was very good in solving riddles and puzzles. After spending almost thirty minutes on the rock she began to put pieces of the puzzle together. "Lets see...The Professor said it had to do with the spelling. Hmmm, 'At the end of every place...' P-L-A-C-E... It has an E on the end. What about 'two times in eternity...' Eternity has two E's. And 'At the beginning of every end.' The answer is E again! I got the answer!"

Elora stood up and saw her friends still puzzled about the riddle, "Hey guys, I got it!" Everyone looked at the faun. "Got what?" Bianca said. "I got the answer to the riddle! The answer is the letter E!" At the minute that she said that, the riddle rock disappeared and stepping-stones started to rise making a path to the door. Everyone was amazed at Elora's quick thinking, but still a little confused about the answer, "Elora, how can the answer be the letter E?" Bianca said still stunned. "The riddle says, 'At the end of every place...' if you spell it out, Place has an E on the end. And,' happens two times in eternity...' Eternity has two E's. And finally in, ' At the beginning of every end.' End starts with the letter E also. So the answer is the letter E!" Everyone was impressed with Elora's smart move. And followed her through the lava and passed the door to retrieve the rune. Once everyone got inside the door shut and the stepping stones disappeared.

While the group had things to do, and Phoenixes to battle, Ripto has his own problems. Ripto and none of the armies were hurt, only Ripto's pride was. The small reptile finally made it to Volcano Island without a boat, "Finally I got past those wretched creatures." Ripto turned around and saw that not one of his riptoc army died in the shark attack and they were all coming ashore, "I can't believe this! I'm mourned on an island with a bunch of lizards that are so dumb that they can't even remember their own name! ". Ripto sat on a rock holding his scepter to the sky with fury.

"I can't believe that, that...stupid feline outwitted me! Next time I see that cat and his friends they're going to pay!" he said with a evil tone. Ripto stopped and turned around and saw Ruben, Nezzer, Gulp, Crush and the other riptocs all tending to their sores and small cuts, not even paying attention to him. "DID YOU ALL HERE ME? OR DO I HAVE TO MAKE SOME FACE REARRANGEMENTS?!" The whole riptoc army stood up straight and saluted, "Yes your evilness." they all said at once. Ripto gave a smile, "Good, now lets move out!" the small sorcerer climbed on Gulp and led the whole group towards the Volcano. Once there he saw the same pool of lava surrounding the door that Spyro and his friends saw. Ripto climbed off of Gulp and went to the edge of the pool of magma. Instantly the same rock came out with the same riddle. Ripto took a closer look at the stone and began to read the riddle:

What's at the end of every place,

Happens two times in eternity,

And is at beginning of every end?

Mell walked up to Ripto and saw the riddle rock and read it too. All of a sudden her thoughts were interrupted with Ripto's rough and harsh tone, "What's this, crap?" Mell stared at him and rolled her eyes just before Ripto caught her doing it. "I think you have to answer the riddle so you can go inside, your excellency." Mell said. "How dumb can you get?" She thought. Mell saw Ripto turn around and walk back, "I can't stay here all day doing childish things! I have the world to conquer!" He said out loud. As Ripto walked passed Gulp and Crush he over heard the dumbest conversation in the history of dumb conversations, "Nu, Uh! It's A, B, C, D, G !" Gulp yelled at Crush. "How should you know you didn't even pass kindergarten when we were in school, and its, A, B, C, D, P !" Crush yelled back. Ripto began to walk towards them, he couldn't resist commenting on their argument, "Look what I have to deal with around here!" he thought.

When he got there, Crush and Gulp started a shouting match. "What are you retards arguing about?" Ripto said stopping the argument once and for all. "Crush, said that the alphabet goes, A, B, C, D, P! But I keep telling him that it's, A, B, C, D, G ! But he won't listen." Gulp stated

"That's because your wrong!"

"Nu, Uh"

"Uh, Hu"

"Nu, Uh" And so one. Nezzer and Ruben walked passed the three reptiles and just stared at them, "And I thought we were bad." Nezzer said giving a smile to Ruben, "Come on, lets get out of here before the boss sends one of his fireballs at us again." Ruben said giving Nezzer a small push. Ripto had enough of this nonsense and gave a yell, "ALRIGHT!!!!!" he yelled so loud that everyone stopped what they were doing including Gulp and Crush, "If I tell you the right way to sing the alphabet song will you two air heads stop it?!" Crush and Gulp looked at each other and Nodded in agreement.

Ripto gave a small smile before started, he was going to make this very interesting. "Okay, A is the first letter and it stands for you two being Abnormal. B is the second letter and it stands for you two being "burros" that's Jackass in Spanish. C is the third letter and it stands for Chaos, that's what you cause when you're around my presents. D is the fourth letter and it stands for Dummies, the official definition for Crush and Gulp. And Finally what you've all been waiting for, E is for you two being-"suddenly Ripto got cut off by Mell running up to him. "Boss! Boss!" she yelled. Ripto looked back at her, "Can't you see I'm busy!" he snapped. "The door to the Volcano opened and stepping stones appeared!" Ripto looked passed Mell and saw that she was right. "Well, why didn't you tell me sooner? Bring me a flying riptoc and do it now!"

Mell quickly obeyed his order unwillingly, and went. The small orange riptoc then left the two sidekicks and was heading toward the Volcano, "I never knew how saying the alphabet can be so much fun." he said taking his last step inside the Volcano with a flying riptoc by his side. Crush and Gulp just stood there letting the comments that Ripto said sink in. Finally, Gulp said something, "Wow... I never knew that the Alphabet means so many things about us." Crush looked at Gulp, "Well, at least he answered my question."

"Which was?"

"I always wanted to know what our names really mean, and now I know." Gulp nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I guess your right."

When our heros got inside the temperature started to get blistering hot. "I can't any further or I'll fry!" Nazza said. Everyone agreed with Nazza, "But we can't turn back now we are so close!" Bianca said encouraging them. "Besides, I know a spell that will make all of you heat proof." Bianca looked through her bag and brought out a bottle full of blue-sparkling powder. "When I pour this on you, the powder will keep your bodies refreshed as long as we stay in temperatures above boiling or in other words, The spell will be broken once outside the Volcano." Bianca poured the powder on everyone's heads including hers and in an instance they weren't hot anymore. "Wow, thanks Bianca! Is it just me, or is your magic getting better?" Hunter said. Bianca looked surprised. "Yeah! Remember when you turned Hunter's head into a frog?" Spyro said giggling.

Nazza turned around and looked at Hunter with a big smile. Hunter knew what he was about to do, "Don't even think about-" suddenly Nazza dropped to the ground laughing his heart out. "You! With a frog's head... I wish I was there to see it!" he said between laughs. "Stop it Nazza! You want the Phoenix to know we're here?" Elora said instantly shutting up the wolf. Nazza stood up whipping a tear off his face from laughter, "Sorry." Then they started to walk until they came to a ledge with five floating stepping stones floating in mid air leading to a huge circular platform with the red rune inside a glass case in the center. All around the platform was a 50' drop into a deep pool of lava. Spyro took a step forward, "Well, whose going first?" no one stepped forward, but Bianca.

She took one step on to the stepping stone then another, then another, then another until she made it to the other side and waited for her friends to cross, "Okay, whose next?" Hunter looked around and saw Nazza with a worried expression on his face and he got a plan how to get Nazza on the stepping stones just like Spyro got him in the water, "Okay, I'll go since I know I'm braver than Nazza." Hunter waited for Nazza to stop him, but he didn't hear anything. "I said I'm braver than Nazza!" He repeated. Hunter turned around and saw Nazza just looking at him, "I know what you're trying to do and it won't work." he said smiling. "And since your so brave go ahead, I won't stop you." Hunter was annoyed since Nazza didn't fall for his trick, " To smart for his own good, that little blueberry!" Hunter took a step on the stone and in five minutes he got across. Nazza was next and it took him ten sec. Spyro tried to encourage Elora to cross, but with her phobia of heights it was impossible. "C'mon Elora you can do it there's nothing wrong."

"Yeah right, you're trying to tell me that there's nothing wrong with crossing over a pool of hot-boiling molten lava? I don't think so!"

"C'mon Elora, you're much more braver than this. You escaped Ripto and solved the puzzle when no one else knew the answer. What if I cross the ditch with you?" Elora thought for a moment then she agreed. Elora took one step she was scared at first but then she remembered that Spyro was right behind her praising her the whole way through, "You're doing fine... Great... Just don't look down... there's no reason to be afraid." Spyro repeated the same statements over and over again. Then finally she made it to the other side. Everyone started to congratulate her on getting over her phobia, "Great job, Elora!" Hunter said. Elora blushed. Then she remembered the red rune; "Did you get the rune yet?" Hunter shook his head. "We decided for you to get the red rune for getting over your fear of heights as a little reward." Elora was so happy with the special gift that they gave her.

She walked up to the rune she saw that the stone shown a dimly red light with the picture of a flame engraved on it. As she was about to lift the glass case, her hands just went through the glass, "What happened?" Everyone ran up to her and saw the her hand going through the rune in the glass case, "It's a hologram." Bianca said. Suddenly the glass case disappeared and everyone stepped far away from the center. The center of the platform started to burn with fire then a bird flew out of the flames. The bird was a giant Phoenix. When the Phoenix flew a stream of fire followed him making the bird look like he had no legs. It had a yellow head with flames for hair and it's feather looks like a blend of yellow, orange and red.

When the Bird landed in front of the five the Flames disappeared and legs appeared. "Who dares enter the lair of the mighty Phoenix, guardian of the red rune?" It screeched. Spyro took a step forward, "We are here to retrieve the red rune we already got the blue one." He said taking out the blue rune and showing it to the bird. The Phoenix looked at the rune; " Ha! You five could have gotten the rune from the Sea Dragon by taking it while the Dragon slumbers. As for the red rune it's a bit tougher, for the runes dwells in the eye of the Phoenix!"

Everyone looked into the Phoenix's eye; they could see the small rock in the center of his pupil glowing a dim red. "The only way to retrieve to red rune is to battle me 'til death! If you mortals don't except, but see the great Phoenix you shall perish the consequences. Many had tried, but all had failed." Everyone was surprised. "Wait! There were others?" Bianca said widening her eyes. The bird nodded, " But they were not successful and I still seek the day for the one with courage and mostly wisdom to defeat the great Phoenix." Elora put her head down; " I definitely know that's not going to be me." Shethought sadly. "Do you creatures except the challenge?" Spyro looked at his friends; everyone nodded their heads slowly and cautiously thinking if they really want to fight this bird of fire. Besides, they didn't want to be a pile of ashes, but either way they would of turned into ashes even if they didn't want to fight. So they all firmly nodded towards Spyro's direction.

Spyro turned to the phoenix who looked to be as tall as a three story building, " We except." Spyro said with his battling face on. "Very well, let the battle begin!" The Phoenix wrapped himself in his wings and started to glow a blinding bright red light, then all became pitch black. Suddenly, they felt the ground change the lights came back on they saw that they weren't in the Volcano anymore, they were in an arena type area with fire burning around the room, so there will be no chance of escape.

Ripto and his companion quickly moved inside the volcano. When they got inside they saw that they were in an arena of some sort on top of a wall seeing the five in the center, "Look boss it's the-"Ripto quickly shoved his scepter in his mouth for his to stop talking so loud. "Shut-up you idiot! Let's watch the show and wait till it's over then we'll make our move."

Bianca quickly walked up to Nazza and Elora, "Nazza, Elora! Since you two don't have anything to defend yourselves from the bird I'm going to give you this..." Bianca took out two green bracelets and gave it to them. Nazza and Elora put them on, "Thanks...what does it do?" Nazza said looking confused. Suddenly the Bracelet started to make Elora's and Nazza's hands glow a bright green. "You point your hands to the phoenix and a green stream of electricity will shoot out. The magic is kind of low, but I think it will last through the whole battle. Just don't let the bracelets fall off or you'll lose the magic completely." Bianca said.

The two looked at their hands in awe. "This will be a piece of cake." Nazza said with confidence, but Elora wasn't too sure about it. Suddenly, the Phoenix's voice echoed through the arena, "The battle will begin NOW!" At the minute he said now the fire around the room started to get taller and the arena started to get brighter. Everyone looked around, but didn't see the gigantic bird anywhere.

Spyro turned around and saw a gigantic fireball heading right towards them, "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" he said pushing everyone aside. The fireball missed them by a yard. Hunter looked around and spotted the bird flying with a line of flame following him. Hunter stood up, took out his bow and arrow and started to shoot the bird, "This will fix him!" As the arrows started to go through the Phoenix the wood from the arrows was actually making the Phoenix stronger. "Fools! Wood will only make the phoenix stronger!" It yelled. The Phoenix landed and started to attack the heroes on foot.

Spyro turned around and saw that the Phoenix was distracted by Elora and Nazza's electricity bracelet, he decided to take the bird by surprise. The dragon ran up to the bird and began to flame him, but nothing happened. Then Spyro realized his stupidness, " Wake up Spyro! How can you defeat a bird that's already burning by burning it!" Spyro thought, the Phoenix turned around and saw Spyro behind him, He lifted his wing and knocked him to the other side of the arena letting the blue rune fall out of his bag and injuring his right wing and foot. Spyro opened his eye weakly and saw the bird slowly coming towards him.

Suddenly something hit the bird in the back of the neck he looked and saw that it was Elora, Nazza and Bianca was the one. The bird turned around and started to go to their direction, while Hunter went to see if Spyro was okay. Nazza, Elora and Bianca continuously kept shooting at the bird with no luck. Then Nazza and Elora put their numb hands down from holding it in the air so long, also the bracelet weren't working. The Phoenix just kept absorbing the blows, and then Bianca put hers down also. Suddenly, The phoenix sent a fireball flying, hitting Bianca's wand and both Nazza's and Elora's bracelet knocking it out of their hand. "Oh no! What do we do?" Elora said. Nazza glanced at the Bird then to Elora; "I've got an !"

They all started to run, but the phoenix blocked them and took his gigantic wing and knocked them to were Spyro and Hunter were, but the Phoenix didn't see that he missed Elora who ducked right before he hit them. Everyone started to see the Phoenix moving in closer. Elora stood up and watched the bird setting its eye on his prey: a dragon, a blue wolf, a rabbit, and a cheetah. She watched helplessly at the bird inching closer and Hunter shooting his arrows to stop the bird with no success. Doesn't Hunter know that shooting arrows won't work! The Bird is made of fire...so to extinguish fire you need to have water!" Elora looked around, but didn't see anything to put out the Phoenix, then she saw the fallen blue rune on the floor making a dim eerie glow.

She quietly tiptoed and got it. As she picked up the rune it started to glow brighter in her hand. "If only I could use the rune...but The Professor said that the only one that can use it is the person who got it or by permission by the person." She looked at the rune and then at the Phoenix the bird was very close to her friends, " I have to act fast, but if I call Spyro for permission the bird will come after me...but if I don't call, this will be the last time I see them." Elora held the rune tighter and a tear rolled down her cheek from the difficult decision she had to make. Well, It doesn't hurt to try." Hunter just used his last arrow at the flaming bird and was now with out MO to defend them, "Oh no we're done for!" he said running up to Bianca, Nazza and Spyro, who was still hurt.

The bird positioned himself for attacking, but the bird actually looked sad, "Hmmm...to bad it had to end like this. The Phoenix thought that you were worthy enough opponent, but I was wrong. I guess my search is still not completed for the great red rune holder." He said. The Phoenix took a deep breath and was ready to erase them from history. Spyro closed his eyes and started to get ready for the pain that he was about to endure. Then they heard a sound, "Kehaaaaaaaa!" It sounded like someone was in pain. Spyro opened his eyes and saw the Phoenix scream bloody murder then flew into the air making his legs disappear and the flames reappear.

Everyone was confused then they looked straight ahead and saw Elora standing with the blue rune brightly glowing in her hand. The Phoenix turned around and started to dive towards Elora, but she sent a jet of gushing water out of the rune with full force hitting the bird in the face making him fall. "Now I understand! The only way to defeat the Phoenix is to fight fire with fire...or should I say water with fire." said Bianca. The Phoenix stood up and saw that most of his flames were gone, then he slowly turned his head towards Elora still standing her ground. "You're wise young faun, but not wise enough!" The phoenix took a deep breath making a jet of fire heading to Elora's way. Elora quickly got the rune and sent a jet of gushing water, but then the water and the fire collided and started to battle, which is going to be defeated.

Most of the times the fire would inch closer to Elora, but then she would push it away. She was concentrating so much on the task that she started to sweat blood, finally she put her heart and soul into the rune making the water jet grow wider and the force grow stronger. The finally Phoenix couldn't take it much longer and, "Shooooooooosh!" the Bird got pushed to the wall by the force of the water. When the gushing water stopped the Phoenix fell on his chin he weakly opened his eyes and saw that his flames were gone, "Truly this is the true red rune holder! Finally, my quest in search of the rune holder is complete." Then the room became pitch black again.

When the lights came back on everyone saw that the Phoenix was gone, and they were back in the Volcano on top of the platform where they began. Everyone stood still and with their eyes wide and there jaws dropped; looking stunned and amazed at the same time. On the other side of the platform laid Elora, exhausted from the battle. Once everyone was back too normal and aware of the situation Hunter, Bianca and Nazza walked over to Elora and Spyro limped, since he injured his foot. Spyro could tell that her breathing was shallow and deep, she weakly opened her eyes and saw her friends surrounding her, "Did we win?" Spyro came closer to Elora and smiled, "Yep, thanks to you!" Elora smiled back. "What about the red rune? Did you get it?" suddenly she felt something in her hand she slowly opened it and she saw the red rune glowing bright and warm.

She stood up and held up her prize; suddenly something zoomed by and grabbed the red rune out of her hand. She looked up and saw Ripto holding the stone in his hand while riding on a flying riptoc. "Muhaaaaaaa! Now nothing can stand in my-" suddenly the riptoc crashed into the wall of the Volcano and went diving into the lava, while Ripto landed on top of the platform with a "thump." Ripto Lifted his head up and saw the four running up to capture him and Spyro started to limp (Spyro couldn't run since his foot was hurt, but Ripto didn't know that). "Oh no, you don't!" he quickly snatched out his scepter and pointed at there direction making everyone stop dead. "One more step and that will be the last step you take!" he hissed.

Ripto knew he couldn't hold them there to long especially if Spyro is one of them. Then Ripto had an idea for him to escape and to get rid of the five completely; Ripto smiled at the five heros, a cold smile, "So the faun defeated Phoenix and escaped the fire. Let's see you escape this!" He quickly shot a fireball to the platform that made the floor start to shake and crumble. Ripto saw his chance of escaping and began to run towards the exit. Spyro saw Ripto running out and began to pursuit him, but with his injured foot it was impossible.

Ripto took his last step from the stepping stones and turned around seeing the five trying not to tumble, then everything crumbled making them fall into the lava with a scream that sounded like some one being skinned alive. Ripto grinned an evil grinned and as cold as he is he started to laugh at their cries, "Ha, Ha, Ha, So long Dragon! Now that I have the red rune nothing can- I have to stop saying that phrase... I'll think of another one later." And with that he left the Volcano right before a rockslide buried the entrance in and out of the Volcano, thinking that he will never hear or see the name Spyro the Dragon again, or will he? (Dramatic music playing)

End of Chapter 5

NOOOOOOOOO!Don't leave me Spyro! (suddenly notices that she's being watched by citizens who's reading the story) Oops sorry, a little dramatic there. I thought it would be funny that Ripto speak in a different language. So anyway, on to the questions. Will this be the end for our heros. I hope not and not only that, Ripto has the red rune! (Gasps all over the audience) What sort of chaos will he do now that he thinks the heros are dead? Do you think Spyro, Elora, Hunter, Bianca and Nazza will survive the fall? I hope so... What am I saying? I wrote this story so I know what's going to happen next. But you will need to read the next chapter to find out which is called Retrieving the Red Rune from the Wrong Hands. I know it's kind of long, but hey, it's the only title I can think of.
