Chapter 13: The Yellow Rune Holder.

While the gang plus Mell was walking through the blistering hot wilderness of Terra de Fuego, Bianca was in her cold-damp-drafty cell in the dudgeon, trying to think of a way to escape. The rabbit was pacing back and forth on the cold hard floor, "Oh, I hope Mell's alright," she said out loud, "I have to find a way to get out of here!" she thought. Bianca started to tap on the walls to see if there's a weak spot, but as always there weren't. When the Sorceress was still reigning, she made sure that there wasn't any chance of escape. Bianca just laid on her bed and was trying to go to sleep, she didn't have much, since she was so worried about Mell escaping and finding Hunter, Elora, Spyro and Nazza safely, but something inside her was saying that she was alright. So she closed her eyes and began to dream about how Spyro and her friends are going to save her from Ripto's grasp and with that she gave a smile and before you knew it she was out-cold.

Mell was still walking with the gang, Hunter finally slowed down a bit from his mini-hallucination a while back, and they were taking it nice and easy. Mell just kept thinking about Bianca, if she's all right or not. "Maybe Bianca's alright?" she thought trying to make herself feel better. Then all of a sudden she felt a small push on her side. She looked over and saw that it was Nazza trying to get her attention, "Hey Nazza," She said.

"I wanted to ask you a question that's been on my head from the time I met you," Nazza said. Mell was curious, What was the question that he wanted to ask? Nazza then asked his question saying; "If you never liked Ripto, how come you joined him in the first place?" Mell frowned, she actually doesn't really like talking about her past, but she knew she had to tell him sooner or later.

Mell told him the whole story from her past, from her dad and mom's death, all the way to her brother missing in the Jungle of no Return and about her taking Judo so she can one day over-throw Ripto, but she's to scared to do it. Nazza was shocked, he never knew her life was so rough. "So that's why you joined Ripto? He took you in since you didn't have a place to go?" Nazza questioned, Mell nodded, "We didn't have any place to go, he was the only one willing to help us, and I still regret 'til this day that I ever joined him." Mell turned to face Nazza, "Nazza, Ripto made my brother go into the most dangerous place on earth! Do you know that from the three hundred riptocs that went into the forest only two came out? I mean, Ripto made Tim go inside the jungle, on a wild goose chase that took almost all of the riptocs lives. Most of them either died or got lost and then they died." Mell took a deep breath, "I'm the only living family member in the Crocus family; everyone else died." Nazza came a little closer to Mell, having compassion unto her, "Mell, you don't know that Tim really did die. Didn't you say that the to riptocs that came out alive said that Tim got lost? He's probably still alive!" Mell looked at him in disbelief, but smiled at his encouragement, "Nazza, this incident happened 6 years ago when I was 7. I'm 16 now, and if Tim were right here now he would have been 21. Anyway there's a fat chance that he survived that wretched jungle anyway." She said.

As Nazza looked into her eyes he saw that her eyes were full of teardrops. Nazza wanted to learn more about her past, but he couldn't stand to see anybody cry or he'll cry also. "So Mell, is the rematch still on?" he said trying to drop the conversation. Mell wiped her eyes and looked at him confused, "What rematch?" she questioned.

"That rematch of Judo vs. Karate? You know, me vs. you?" Mell thought for a moment and remembered what she had said in the past, "Yeah, it's still on, and this time, I'll win."

"What do you mean you'll win? I won you when we were in Mermaid Lagoon, Oh, so I've been told, since I don't remember a thing."

"That wasn't fair, you were getting help by that stupid siren! This time it's only going to be Mano a Mano, you, me and the ring, nothing else." Mell said smiling. Nazza gave her a side grin; "You're on!" The two began to talk some more until they heard Elora yell, "Look! Up ahead!" Mell and Nazza stopped talking and saw Elora pointing to a mountain a long ways from where they are now. Spyro looked up to the sky and saw that the sun was almost about to set, "We'll never make it today." Spyro said. Nazza and Mell joined the three who stopped. "On contraire, Spyro, " Nazza commented, "Where there's a way there's a will and I definitely have a will." Elora smiled at Nazza, "Nazza, it's 'if there's a will there's a way,' not 'where there's a way there's a will.'"

"Same thing, Okay, touch the rune." Nazza commanded holding out the green stone. Everyone did as they were told and touched it. Nazza closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Mell looked around and saw that there we're a flock of geese's in the air. Mell looked closely at the birds, at first they were flapping their wings fluently, but in a short period of time, the birds began to slow down their pace in flapping until it looked like they were frozen in time. Mell looked back at Nazza and saw that he opened his eyes and the concentration stopped. Mell just looked at him speechless, "Nazza, what did you do?" she asked.

"Mell," he started, "This rune gives us the power to be in hyper-space." He said. Mell looked around and saw everything very still, "So you froze time?"

"No, we are actually going so fast that the things around us looks still, but they're actually moving, but in slow mo." Nazza said. Mell was amazed with his ability, "So when you were battling Ripto in the Temple of King Cobra you were actually going into hyper-speed? That's why we couldn't see you when you were going from one place to another?" Nazza nodded. "Cool!" Mell said.

As they began to walk towards the mountain, they found out that in no time (and I really mean, no time) they got to the mount. "Wow, that was quick." Hunter said looking at the sun, which didn't move from its position in a while. Once Nazza started time again, the crew proceeded inside the cave that was in the base of the mountain. Inside it was dark and kind of spooky, but with Hunter's flashlight it brightened up the terrain.

When Hunter turned on his flashlight, the mount was damp and dreary. There were a few bats that hung from the ceiling above, but most of it was deserted. As they got deeper into the mountain, they entered into another cave. As they were walking they found themselves in a conversation again, "Who do you think is going to be the Yellow Rune holder?" Hunter questioned swinging his flashlight back and forth. "Hmmm," Spyro Hummed, "Well, I think since me, Elora and Nazza can't be the rune holder since we already are rune holders that means, that either Hunter and Mell could be the next one." Spyro said looking at the two. Mell was surprised, shocked actually. Her, The yellow rune holder? "I don't really want to be the holder of anything." Mell said.

"It doesn't matter, Mell." Elora said, "It's not you who chooses, it's the rune."

"Yeah, maybe Hunter will be the rune holder?" Spyro said. "Yeah Hunter could be the next rune holder." Elora agreed. At the same time the conversation started it ended as they saw light shining at the end of the tunnel. As they entered into the light they saw that they were outside. "Hey! We're on the other side of the mountain!" Hunter said. "Couldn't we have just gone around it?" As Nazza turned back to leave he saw that the mountain disappeared from view. "Hey, where did the mountain go?" Nazza asked. Spyro, Elora, Mell and Hunter turned their heads and saw that the mountain that they just came through vanished.

Suddenly a gust of wind began to blow making a sandstorm. Every grain of sand that hit the gangs fur or skin made a small cut. "Get down!" Spyro yelled covering his face. The group got on the ground; Spyro lifted his head and saw a cave with the light peering out from it. "Follow me, but stay down!" With each step that they took they felt themselves sink.

Soon the gust of wind ceased and the sand stopped stirring, but the gang couldn't move, they were stuck. Spyro dipped his hand in the sand and saw that it was, "QUICKSAND!" he yelled. Little by little they felt themselves being pulled in. "Can't we do something?" Hunter asked. Elora tried using the power inside of her rune, but for some reason it didn't work. There had to be some shield of anti-magic preventing them from using any kind of magic. Mell looked around and saw the cave with the light shinning, "I bet the yellow rune is inside there!" she thought. Everyone except for Spyro and Mell were all panicking, Mell had to do something before they all become goners.

As she looked into her pockets she found the arrow that she got from Hunter's bag when she was looking for them and the rope that Bianca gave her. Mell looked at the rope then at the arrow and got and idea. Mell gave a pondering look to Spyro and saw that he was thinking the same thing. "Hunter!" They both said as a union. "Take out your bow, quickly!" Mell instructed. Hunter was confused, but did as he was told. "Now what?" he asked. With out answering his question Mell tied the rope to the arrow and threw it to Hunter.

Hunter picked up the arrow, perplexed, but as he saw the cave with the light and the arrow he finally got it. Hunter smiled and put the arrow on his bow and shot it, making the arrow hit the rock wall of the cave. Hunter pulled on the rope to see if it was secure, "Okay everyone," Hunter said, "Grab the rope and follow me!" Hunter began to pull him self towards the cave, Nazza was the second to arrive to the rope then Elora, then Spyro.

As Spyro took his step on rim of the cave, they waited for Mell. The quicksand was already at her neck; finally Mell grabbed the line and began to pull herself up. The gang was so busy cheering Mell on that they didn't realize that the arrow holding the rope to the wall was about to go undone. Mell began to put her soul into the pulling and began to yank harder, "I can do this!" she thought to herself. "If I can do it in Riptoc Boot Camp I can do this!" she thought as she tugged herself up on the fifth time, but as she did the arrow got undone and the rope with Mell still holding it was being dragged under the sand.

Nazza saw as the rope attached to the arrow was skidding across the rock floor towards the marsh. Nazza ran and launched forward grabbing it with his teeth. The gang went and took Nazza by the waist, "Heave!" Elora shouted, "We have to save Mell!" Nazza looked back to the quicksand and saw that Mell had gone completely under the marsh, but Nazza still didn't give up trying.

Mell was holding her breath for dear life while under the watery/sandy grave. Mell kept feeling herself being pushed up and she tried to push herself up also. She felt her heart rate slow down, as if death was awaiting her, but she didn't pay any attention to it and just kept moving up. She started to here voices in her head saying, "You're doing great Mell. Keep doing it! This isn't your time to die." Mell thought that she was going crazy; the voice seemed familiar to her, but now she had important things to worry about.

With one final push from Mell and a final pull from the gang she came flying out of the sand falling on top of the rim of the cave taking in deep breaths. Her scales were covered in muck from the marsh and Nazza could tell that she was tired. Mell sat up and shock her head, "D-D-Did we make it?" she asked. Elora smiled, "Yep, all thanks to you." Nazza came in and gave Mell a gigantic hug, "We thought we lost you!" Hunter raised an eyebrow, "We?"

"Okay, I thought I lost you." Mell really doesn't like being around mushy emotions, even if she almost died, but in this case she let it go. Mell got up and dusted herself off from the muck. After that incident, they were all set they entered into the mysterious cave. As they got inside they saw that it was an area type area, just like inside of the volcano, except that this arena was surrounded with sand swirling around in a sandstorm (Just think of the place in Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. The place where Eris lives).

The crew looked around and saw that the mood of this place was, gloomy; the color was all pale brown and the sky looked pale gold. As everyone took a step to the center of the arena a rough, grouch voice echoed throughout out the stadium, "Who dare enters the lair of the great Scorpion guardian, Guardian of the Yellow Rune?" The voice commanded. Mell looked around, but didn't see anybody, just sand, "We do!" Mell shouted.

"So, ye mortals want to take the Yellow Rune from my grasp, huh? Well ye can't just barge in and do that, thou have to play by my games and play by my rules! Don't think that since thou successfully passed my trial of the quicksand that thou art eligible to be proclaimed the Holder of the Yellow Rune," the voice said. For some reason, Mell and Hunter knew that the guardian was talking about them, "Many have passed the quicksand, but no one ever passed my second trial."

Everyone stayed quiet; "What is your second trial." Spyro questioned. There was no answer, but then they heard a loud noise as if something coming closer to them. They saw a shadow forming outside of the arena in the sandstorm. As the figure got closer the group could see the outline of the guardian and then the guardian itself. Once the guardian entered the arena, they saw that it was a scorpion, just like the Professor told them it would be. It was a Yellow Scorpion, with big dark eyes, and its eight legs were sharper then a two edged sword.

Everyone kept quiet and just looked at the magnificent beast. "The second trial is the mind trial. Ye have to pass through a cave…" a cave appeared out of no where, " Inside this cave thou will have to pass through things that have been twisted. If ye have a strong mind ye may proceed to receive the Yellow Rune as thine reward, but…" Elora, Spyro and Nazza felt their runes vanish from their grasp, "Hey! Where's our runes?!" Spyro shouted.

"Patience little dragon, thine runes art safe with me, if one of ye is successful in getting past the trials, all of ye may get thine runes back. But if all of ye fail, the runes have to go back to the original guardians. So, do ye mortals except?" The guardian asked. Everyone nodded. "Very well then, let the trials begin!" At the minute the trial began Spyro, Elora, Nazza, Hunter and Mell felt themselves beings pulled into the portal. They tried to run, but it was too late they found themselves beings sucked into the cave.

Elora was tumbling and twirling inside of the cave. When Elora finally found herself stabilized she opened her eyes and saw that Spyro, Hunter, Nazza and Mell were gone. She saw all of Avalar being burned to a crisp. As Elora walked on more she saw Hunter, Bianca, Agent 9, Sheila, Bentley, Srgt. Byrd and all of her friends in chains, as if they were slaves.

Elora ran up to them, "What happened?" she asked Hunter. Hunter looked up, he had a beard and he was old, "Elora?" Hunter questioned almost not able to speak. "Hunter who did this to you? I need to get you out of this!" Elora said trying to take off his chains. Hunter coughed, "Don't worry about me, just save yourself before he gets you too!" Elora was perplexed, "Who?" she asked. Hunter looked pasted her and his skin went pale and his face looked as if he's seen a ghost, "ELORA! Run for your life before he gets you!" Hunter shouted. "Who? And where is this person."

"It's the same person who did this to us! He's right behind you! RUN!!" Elora quickly turned her head and she couldn't believe what she saw; it was Spyro, but not just that, he was wearing a purple cloak with a collar, "Spyro!" Elora said in shock. Spyro just looked at her in confusion, "Do I know you?" he asked.

"Yes, remember me, Elora? Remember we met when you battled Ripto?" Spyro shock his head, "You're playing tricks with me, and I never battled Ripto in my life. I would never do such a thing!" Spyro yelled. Elora was confused, "What are you talking about? You defeated him almost three times!" Elora saw that Spyro's eyes became filled with anger, "Don't say those thing about Master Ripto!" Elora widen her eyes, did he just say MASTER RIPTO? Elora looked around and saw Ripto's picture all over the realms. It looked as if Ripto took over Avalar! "Spyro what's going on? Why did you call Ripto, Master Ripto?"

"That's because I work for him!" Spyro shouted. Elora took a step back; she couldn't believe her eyes and ears. "No, this can't be happening!" Elora turned around and began to run, crying her eyes out. Suddenly she felt herself stop. She looked around and saw that she wasn't in Avalar anymore, instead she felt herself floating in pitch black, darkness, "Sorry," the voice of the scorpion said. "Ye weren't qualified to be the Yellow Rune Holder. Spyro, Hunter, Melinda and Nazza are still in, if they all fail ye have to stay here throughout eternity. But if one of them succeed ye go free." Then the voice disappeared; Elora was disappointed that she didn't get the Yellow Rune, but she was glad that she didn't have to see what she just saw.

Spyro was seeing himself tumble through out the air. Once he was stabilized he opened his eyes. Mell, Elora, Hunter, and Nazza were gone. He found himself in a realm filled with tons of thorns and spikes as he went deeper into the strange place he felt his heart sink; he saw that he was in a graveyard. "What am I doing here?" he asked himself. As he walked past some of the tombs, he saw one that caught his attention; it was a Grey tomb with a faun angel on top. As he went to see the inscriptions he saw that it had Elora's name on it. Spyro shook his head in disbelief. "This couldn't be possible! Elora is dead?" Spyro began to read the inscriptions on the stone:

"Here lies Elora Florenza

She was burned

At the stake

For disobeying the orders of…"

Spyro lost his voice when he read the last words. He couldn't believe his eyes. The stone said, 'she was burned at the stake for disobeying King Spyro's commands!' That couldn't be possible. Spyro slowly walked away and began to run away from the tomb stone, crying out, "NOOOOO!" Suddenly he felt himself stop. He opened his eyes and saw that he felt like he was floating a pitch-black darkness. Then he heard the voice of the yellow rune guardian; "Ye weren't qualified to be the Yellow Rune Holder. Ye and the faun had just lost thine opportunity. If Nazza, Melinda and Hunter don't succeed ye will be in this dwelling for all eternity!" Spyro forgot all about that the tombstone that he saw was just an illusion and not real life.

All of a sudden he felt something grab his arm and say, "Spyro, is that you?" Spyro couldn't see the face of the person since he was in pure darkness, but he could tell that it was Elora's voice, "Hey Elora, didn't succeed either?" Spyro asked.

"Are you kidding?" Elora said, "It's hard! You have to have a pretty strong mind to go through the trial that I went. I completely forgot that it was all an illusion, It…It felt so real!" Spyro agreed the two then started a conversation on what was their trial.

Suddenly Nazza and then Hunter appeared. The scorpion voice said the same thing for both of them. Finally Elora, Spyro, Hunter and Nazza found each other in the darkness, "That was hard!" Hunter yelled. "I found myself being drowned by Nazza. The weird thing is that I could breathe under the water, but I got kind of hydrophobic and I started to panic. Then I found myself here." Nazza widen his eyes, "It is hard." Nazza admitted, "I found myself running from Hunter. He looked as if he had gotten rabid or something. He was foaming at the mouth and everything. Suddenly I leapt off the cliff. When I finally crash on the ground I found myself here." Nazza said. Elora sighed, "I guess it's all up to Mell now. She's our only hope!"

Mell found herself walking through the riptoc army. She saw an executioner taking the lives of thousands of riptocs, by beheading them. Suddenly she saw Spyro, Nazza, Hunter, Bianca and Elora got up for them to get their heads chopped off. Mell felt a tear come down her face, "I can't take it much longer!" Mell found herself running up to the executioner. "Your not going to take the lives of these innocent creatures!" she command. The executioner just looked at her and put down his sword. He then took off the black cloth that covered his face.

As he did Mell gasped, it was her brother Tim! "Tim?!" she gasped. Tim didn't smile; he acted as if he didn't know her, "Get this girl off the platform!" he commanded. Mell felt herself being dragged away by two other riptocs. Mell didn't do anything; she just had her mouth opened in surprise. Mell didn't want to see her friends die or her brother become a murderer. Mell scurmmed all over trying to find a way to escape, finally she got her arm free and got a sword that was strapped around one of the riptocs belt. She quickly ran up to the platform and saw Nazza's head on the column.

Mell stalled for a bit, but then she came to life when she saw Tim raise his ax to chop it off. Mell's heart became filled with sadness and anger. Mell ran up to Tim and knocked the ax off his hand with her sword and grabbed him by the collar of the black robe that he was wearing. Tim once again took off his cloth that covered head. Mell pointed the sword at his throat, Tim just gave a sinister smile and laughed, "HA, HA, HA! Do you think you have the guts to kill your only brother?" He said. Mell's shoulder relaxed and her face unwrinkled, "Face it Mell your nothing! You don't have no brains, you can't fight, you'll never be able to beat Ripto…" Tim kept on saying other stuff.

Mell's mind began to race, he was right; she doesn't have the guts to kill her brother or to defeat Ripto. Tim stopped talking and looked back at Mell who was thinking it over. He gave a sinister smile, "Mell, let me make an offer. If you let me live and let me kill all your friends. Everything will be back to normal. You'll have me back. That's all you wanted, right? Of course you do, but if you kill me you'll lose me forever. Now what do you want? Your friends or me?" he asked. Mell didn't know what to think. All she wanted was her brother back to her, but she didn't want to see her brother kill here only friends!

Mell once again tightened her grip around Tim's collar and scrunched up her face again, "You're right Tim. All I ever wanted was you. I wanted so much to see you." Mell's eyes began to fill with tears, "Even if this is an illusion, I still don't have the guts to kill you." Tim gave a small smile of satisfaction and a tear rolled down Mell's nose, "But you're no brother of mine if you harm any of my friends!!!" Tim gave a frown as he saw Mell close her eyes and pull back the sword, "Mell what are you doing? DON'T! I'm your brother! IF you do this you're going to lose me!" Mell gave a little moan, "Good-bye Tim!" Mell pulled her sword back and pierced through Tim's chest, puncturing his heart.

Tim looked at his chest and saw the sword enabled in his heart. Tim looked back at Mell, "I hope your happy." He managed to say. After that, he fell; he was dead before he hit to ground. Mell watched as her brother lay motionless on the ground, and began to weep. Mell watched as her brother fell down, dead. Mell began to weep uncontrollably.

Mell wiped her eyes and turned around, but instead of being in the riptoc army, she was back in the arena where she came in. Mell saw the scorpion guardian come out from the cave that the travelers went it for the trials. Mell turned to face the scorpion, "Don't ever, and I repeat, ever make me do something like that again!" Mell hissed giving a sniff from her crying too much. The guardian smiled, "Oh, young traveler, ye showed thineself courage unto me. None of the other travelers could stand up to their trials, except for thee. Ye didn't run like numerous people did many eons ago. I bow myself to thee. Ye are truly the Yellow Rune Holder." Mell was shocked, She being the yellow rune holder? It couldn't be possible! Mell then felt something in her hand. She opened it and saw a yellow stone with a picture of a lighting blot engraved on it, glowing comfortably in her hand.

As she looked up at the scorpion he gave her a smile, "But this can't be!" Mell said. But the scorpion didn't take no for an answer, "Thou art the official Yellow Rune Holder!"

"But what about my friends? Where are they?"

"Ahh, thine friends art all right. They'll be coming shortly. As for me, I have to be on my way. Be filled with joy for the prize thou received and don't forget the courage within thine heart." At the minute he finished his speech he started to glow a blinding light and the wind started to pick up. Mell covered her eyes to protect them from the wind and light.

Once she felt the wind die down and the light dim she opened her eyes. She saw that she was back outside of the mountian. The cave was gone and the sky was dark. "This has to be a dream." She thought. As she opened her hand the rune was right there glowing its yellowish eerie glow. Suddenly Mell felt a tap on her shoulder; she looked back and saw her friends had come out, just like the guardian said. "How did you guys end up here?" Mell asked.

"That's what we were about to ask you. We were all in pure darkness, until a blinding light made us cover our eyes and when we opened them again we found ourselves out here. We didn't get the yellow rune." Nazza explained. Mell gave a small smile (it was more of a frown than a smile), "I did." She said showing them the rune. Everyone gasped, "You're the yellow rune holder?" Spyro asked. She frowned a bit and nodded. Elora noticed that she wasn't to happy about this news, "If you're the yellow rune holder why aren't you happy? You should be proud that you were the only one who received the rune."

"It's not that," Mell started, "I'm happy and all that I got the yellow rune, but the trial that I have to go, I couldn't take it, it was to much." Mell said Beginning to walk away from Mount of Illusions. Hunter looked at her, "Oh? And what was your trial?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Maybe after we rescue Bianca." Suddenly she heard a gasp, "Huh! We forgot about Bianca!" Hunter shouted, "What are we going to do? What's the plan, Spyro?"

"Don't worry Hunter," Spyro said, "We just rescue Bianca and once Ripto is alone we jump him and get the runes back." Nazza just looked at him, "That's not much of a plan." Spyro started at him in annoyance, "Hey, I only had a couple of minutes to think about it, alright. Let's go back to the oasis and we'll figure out the plan there." Spyro said. They began to walk towards the oasis, once their Mell remembered something that Ripto told her that she forgot to tell her friends. "Huh!" she gasped. Everyone looked at her, "Huh, What?" Hunter asked sitting down on a log. "I forgot to tell you!" Mell said. "Right before I got code red, Ripto told me something."

"What?" Spyro asked. "He said that if you don't bring back the runes he's going to kill Bianca!"

"We already know that!" Elora said. Mell shook her head, "But there's more, He said if you bring the runes he's going to let Bianca go free and then he'll kill you all! Either way you put it; someone gets killed!" Everyone was shocked at the news, "This is terrible news," Hunter said, "I have to sit down, wait, I'm already sitting; then I have to stand up." Spyro couldn't believe his ears, "That snake was going to double cross us! What are we going to do?"

"We need to find a way to distract him and the riptocs while we get the runes back from Ripto. Believe me he won't give Bianca back to us if we don't give him the runes first." Mell said. While everyone was thinking a stray cold wind began to blow, and as if a sign from above really did heard them, a piece of paper that will answer their question flew into Nazza's lap. Nazza picked up the article and began to read the writing, "Huh!" Nazza gasped.

"What? What?" everyone said as a union. "Five people in critical conditions after a stampede of circus animals from the Avalar circus in Cloud Temples almost turned them into pancakes!" Everyone rolled their eyes. "Nazza, this is serious!" Mell said snatching the paper away from his hand. As she looked closer at the paper and into the picture of a raging elephant, Rhino, lion and hippo stampeding in the big circus tent it gave her an idea on how to rescue, Bianca, the runes and get rid of Ripto once and for all. Mell smiled at her master plan. "Hey, I've got an idea!" Mell said softly. Spyro, Elora, Nazza and Hunter all looked at each other surprised, "Okay," Elora said cautiously, "What's the plan?" Mell signaled everyone to huddle around her as they did she told them her plan.

As she whispered it out everyone began to smile, picturing out the event the she was explaining. After she was done Spyro gave a sly smiled to everyone, "You know Mell, I don't know where you get theses ideas, but that one was one hell of a good one!" Spyro said. "Yeah, so what are we going to do tonight?" Nazza asked.

"Get lots of sleep and rest, for tomorrow we put my secret weapon into action!"
