IN THE LAST EPISODE OF DRAGONBALL Z!

"Boo like explosion! BOOM!"

"Another villain that claims to be the most powerful being in the universe."

"Hey Trunks, how come you could easily defeat what was back then the most powerful being in the universe, but you couldn't defeat a bunch of robots?"

"Hmmm..."

"Shut up! It's not my fault!"

[CHAPTER 6: YOU ARE TERMINATED]

=Previously on 24=

-ELORA-

'Stop arguing!

'Elora!' said Spyro.

'Hey Nazza,' said Elora. 'Spyro, I need you to help me out.'

'Hang on,' said Spyro, 'where'd Sparx go?'

'That's what I need help with. Sparx has been kidnapped!'

Nazza cracked up laughing. 'No, really, what do you need help with?'

'I was telling the truth.'

Spyro cracked up laughing. 'Come on Elora, tell us what the problem is.'

'Uh, Spyro, she *is* telling the truth.'

-NAZZA-

'Not now, I'm hungry.' He took a spoonful of the mousse.

'Uh, that's the stuff you put in your hair.'

-NAZZA'S BRAIN-

Suddenly God appeared in the clouds. 'Nazza, wake up.'

'Not now, I haven't finished killing Mario yet.'

-SPARX-

'What did he say, Spyro?'

'He says you can shove it up your butt.'

-BEAR-

Suddenly a grizzly bear entered the room, kicking down a bit of cave - which was actually just cardboard.

-RAVAGED WOLVES-

Suddenly ravaged wolves ran out, and growled. Nazza and Spyro turned and ran...

[CHAPTER 10: YOU ARE TERMINATED]

'Check.'

Hunter examined the chessboard. He saw an opening, and took it. 'Checkmate.'

Elora realised Hunter hadn't moved his king and took it out. 'I win.'

'Damn, how do you do that?'

They sat there for a while. Hunter sighed.

'Hey,' said Elora, 'did you just hear something similar to Spyro screaming?'

'No.'

===

Spyro, still screaming, charged up the dark rocky path, followed by Nazza and Sparx.

'Sparx, can't you shoot your acid-saliva at the dogs?' said Nazza.

'No use,' said Spyro. 'He only shoots acid-saliva when he needs to sneeze. I don't think we have a pepper-shaker or a dust-covered dog anywhere near us.'

Suddenly a chunk of roof fell onto Nazza, covering him with dust.

'Oh well,' said Nazza. 'We'll just have to get eaten by rabid wolves.'

Spyro charged, broke open a door out of the hidden base (which was strange since there wasn't a door there to begin with) and flew out into the air of the Ocean Speedway.

Nazza leapt, held his breath and closed his eyes. Suddenly he realised he wasn't falling at all.

'Wow! I'm flying! I'm flying!'

He then heard a buzzing noise. He turned his head and saw Sparx. 'Wow! Sparx is carrying me!'

Nazza, Sparx and Spyro turned around to watch the rabid wolves fall to their deaths in the ocean.

===

'Checkmate.'

Elora took out Hunter's king. 'I win.'

'That's the seventh time you've beat me!' said Hunter. 'How do you do it?'

Nazza, Spyro and Sparx appeared out of one of the portals and began panting heavily. 'Hey, Spyro! Nazza! You found Sparx!'

'Yeah,' panted Nazza, 'but we nearly got killed.'

'How come?' Elora wondered.

'We were attacked by a bear,' said Spyro, 'and then a giant monkey set some savage wolves onto us.'

Hunter spun his finger around his ear, doing the cuckoo-sign.

'We're telling the truth!' said Nazza. 'Even ask Sparx!'

'No one understands Sparx,' said Elora. 'What gave you the impression that he talked?'

==FLASHBACK==

He ran up to Sparx's cage, opened it and Sparx buzzed happily. 'What did he say, Spyro?'

'He says you can shove it up your butt.'

==END FLASHBACK==

Spyro chuckled nervously and smiled sheepishly as Nazza turned to stare at him.

'Well, you're safe now,' said Elora. 'Have you got all the keys?'

'Yeah,' said Spyro. He pulled out the magic journal, then slapped his forehead.

'What did you do this time,' said Hunter.

'We forgot to get the last key!' said Spyro.

'You'd better go back and get it then,' Elora decided.

'But the giant monkey might set the wolves on us again!' said Nazza.

'Okay then,' said Elora huffily. 'Hunter and I will go get the key.'

'Fine with us,' said Nazza.

'Speak for yourself, dog,' said Spyro. He turned to Elora and Hunter. 'I'm fine with it.'

Elora growled angrily, making both Hunter and Nazza jump back.

'You get used to it,' Spyro whispered to the blue wolf as Elora left with Hunter following. 'She does it a lot in bed.'

Nazza stared quizzically at Spyro as a broad smile came across his face. Suddenly he was in a different place...

==IN SPYRO'S BRAIN==

Elora growled angrily. Spyro watched as a lump in the bed sheets emerged to reveal it was Elora. 'Why can't I find those bedmites? I knew it was a bad idea the minute I laid eyes on Hunter...'

'You've been sleeping with Hunter?' Spyro asked.

'No way,' said Elora. 'You're the only guy I'd sleep with.'

'Aww, shucks,' said Spyro, smiling embarrassed-ly.

'I was joking, Spyro.'

==IN THE REAL WORLD==

'Uh, so was I,' said Spyro. Then he realised he was back with Nazza, standing near the Ocean Speedway portal.

'Whatever,' said Nazza. 'What do we do till they get back?'

'Sit back and relax,' said Spyro. The two laid down on the grass when suddenly the place felt a lot colder.

'What's that?' Nazza asked.

'Probably nothing,' Spyro replied and went back to sleep. Suddenly the sky grew dark, rainclouds appearing out of nowhere. Nazza shivered, as the place grew colder and colder. He suddenly felt really strange, like all the happiness had been sucked out of him.

'Uh, Spyro, I think you should see this...'

Nazza shook Spyro with both paws but Spyro just ignored him. He was on his own...

'SPYRO! WAKE UP!'

'What?!' said Spyro angrily, sitting up. 'I wanna get my beauty slee - uh-oh.'

The two looked up at the person standing in front of them. The cold seemed to come straight out of this person, and they suddenly felt as if the world was about to end.

A figure cloaked in black held out a bony hand...

===

Hunter and Elora arrived at a house which was on top of one of those towers coming out of the water of Ocean Speedway.

'I'll knock on the door,' said Elora. But before she could Hunter had already knocked on the door.

The door was answered by a black man. 'Come in, come in.' Elora was about to ask him about any keys when suddenly her and Hunter were dragged into the man's house.

'Uh, do you know anything about these keys?'

He pulled out a pad and started writing. 'Number nine, makes us do stupid things!'

'Uh, excuse me -'

'Shut up, Lookdammit. Jesus Christ, stop clawing up the sofa.'

'Sorry,' said Hunter.

'Lookdammit, stop going on about keys.'

'My name isn't Lookdammit -'

'Shut up. Jesus Christ, let me talk.'

'I'm Jesus Christ,' said Hunter.

===

'Who - who - who are you?' Spyro stuttered.

'I...' boomed the cloaked figure. 'Am...'

'Hurry up, hurry up, we don't have all day!'

'I...am...here...to...kill...you...'

'Please don't kill me!' said Nazza. 'Don't be cold-blooded!' Suddenly he pointed to Spyro. 'Kill him! He's cold-blooded!'

Spyro shot out flames and suddenly Nazza was a dog covered in charcoal.

'I...first...need...to...experiment...'

'Are - are you a Dementor?' Spyro asked.

'No...'

'What's your name then?'

'I...am...known...as...'

'...'

The two sat in silence as the rainclouds swirled up above.

'I...am...Da Dark One...'

===

'God, *Bill Cosby* is more entertaining than this...' said Elora with a sigh.

'You shut up, Lookdammit! I'll have you know my name's Bill Cosby!'

'Aargh!' shouted Hunter and Elora simultaneously. Hunter stopped clawing the furniture, and the two ran as fast as they could.

'Hmm, they're a mile away and they have my shoes.'

===

Da Dark One reached out and grabbed Spyro with one hand, and Nazza with the other.

'Well, he's not the Grim Reaper,' said Nazza. 'If he was we'd be dead.'

'I'm going to try to send some of my men - err, guys to help me,' Spyro whispered.

'Your men are already dead.'

===

'That was close,' said Hunter as he approached the end-level portal.

'Yeah,' Elora replied. 'That guy was a total psycho!'

They were about to return to Summer Forest when a small white dragon appeared.

'Who are you?' Elora asked.

'You better not be Billy Cosby...'

'I'm Snowflake,' said the dragon. 'Have you heard of a Gigas crystal?'

'A giga-what?'

'It's this crystal,' said Snowflake. 'Kinda hard to explain.'

'Err - sorry, we need to leave,' said Hunter suddenly. 'Bye!'

Hunter took off through thin air, dragging Elora along with him. 'Strange,' said Snowflake. 'The exit's behind me.'

===

Spyro watched as vultures circled the dark sky above.

'Say, that's a nice boik,' said Da Dark One suddenly.

'Huh?' said Spyro.

Nazza's eyes suddenly lit up. 'That's the exact same line Robert Patrick says when he meets the cop after chasing someone out of a mental asylum!'

'And that means...?'

'That's what the bad guy says in Terminator 2 Judgement Day.'

'And that means...?'

'I'll bet this guy's just a robot!' Nazza scratched at Da Dark One's face, to no avail. 'Oh well, so much for that idea.'

Spyro squirmed, screaming 'No! God no! He'll kill us all!!!' for no apparent reason. This only made Nazza even more confused than before.

'What's your plan, Das Dorken Ein?' said Nazza.

'Huh?'

'It's German for Da Dork One.'

'And that means...?'

'Just shut up, Dark One, and do whatever you're gonna do.'

'Affirmative.'

'You don't say affirmative or some shit like that, you say "no problemo". And if you really wanna shine them, try "Hasta la vista, baby".'

'Nazza, what the heck are you talking about?'

'I'm trying to confuse him,' Nazza whispered.

'No you're not! You're just reliving your memories of Terminator 2!'

'True, true.'

'WASSUUUUUUUUUUUUP!'

This last phrase (or word), spoken by Da Dark One, scared the heck out of everyone within a ten mile radius.

===

'What'd you do that for?' Elora asked.

'Do you know who that is?'

'Yeah, why -'

'That is the ultimate evil,' Hunter said. 'Also known as Snowflake.'

'She's not evil -'

'You don't know the half of it,' Hunter replied.

=FLASHBACK=

'Hey, can you give me thirty cents?'

'Nope.'

'What about some of those delicious Doritos?'

'Nope.'

Hunter stared angrily at her. 'GIVE ME FOOD!'

'No, you crazed homeless man.'

=END FLASHBACK=

'She called me a homeless man!'

'Well,' said Elora, 'technically you *are* homeless -'

'She thinks I'm a man! The nerve of some people...'

===

'Well, are we just going to stand here all day?'

Da Dark One didn't reply.

'I think he's asleep,' said Spyro, who was now observing those vultures for lack of anything else to do.

'Wake him up then,' said Nazza.

'I'm not gonna wake him up,' said Spyro. 'You wake him up.'

'No you wake him up!'

'No you wake him up -'

'No you wake him up!'

'No you wake him up -'

'No you wake him up!'

'No you wake him up -'

'SHUT UP!'

'He's awake now.'

===

'Snowflake's not that bad,' said Elora. 'It's not like she's evil or anything.'

'Do you think being sent back in time to assassinate the president, the navy and Spyro is evil?'

'Yeah, but -'

'That's what Snowflake's gonna do! Luckily the navy's located in the Ocean Speedway - uh-oh.'

Snowflake pulled out a rocket launcher, aimed at the navy base and fired.

'Hasta la vista, Navy.'

'Oh my god!' said Elora. 'She *is* evil!'

===

'Why did you wake me?' boomed Da Dark One.

'If we're going to be killed, you could at least be consistent and get the job over and done with,' said Nazza.

'Okay then,' said Da Dark One.

'Great work, Nazza,' said Spyro.

Da Dark One walked toward a portal they'd never seen before, carrying the two captives.

'Could you fill us in maybe?' said Nazza.

'My CPU is a neuro-net processor. A learning machine.'

'Oh no, my obsessive nature towards Terminator has rubbed off on him!'

Spyro rolled his eyes. 'Explain your plan to us, Da Dark One.'

'I have created an inter-dimensional portal to my lab.'

'Lab? More like...something Da Dark One would find insulting,' said Nazza.

'More like a trashcan?'

'No,' said Nazza, 'he lives in one.'

'Say,' said Spyro, 'is your room-mate Oscar the Grouch?'

Nazza and Da Dark One stared at Spyro as if he was a freak.

'You're a freak,' said Da Dark One.

'Anyway,' said Da Dark One, 'in this lab I have invented a machine that will make evil villains and all-round idiots everywhere rejoice.'

'What is this invention?' Nazza said. 'Because if it's soap, someone got there before you.'

'No, it's not soap,' said Da Dark One, 'or any sort of hair product for that matter. It's -'

'Mmm, hair product.'

'Ignore him, he's having a blonde moment,' Spyro stated.

'The invention is...'

'...'

'The invention is...'

'...'

'The invention is...'

'...a STUPID MACHINE!' Nazza interrupted.

'Exactly,' said Da Dark One. 'How'd you guess?'

They went through the portal and into the 'lab'. Trashcan was actually a more accurate guess, as there was no scientific equipment. Nor was there anything, except for a big black machine.

'This, my friends, is the STUPID MACHINE!'

'Hey! We're not your friends!' said Nazza.

'And what does this "stupid machine" do?' Spyro asked.

'It turns anyone who isn't stupid, into someone who is stupid!' announced Da Dark One.

'I can see who he chose for a test-run,' said Spyro.

Da Dark One threw Nazza into the lone seat of the big black machine, and put a headset on his skull. He moved over to the switch, and was about to pull it when...

'You know, it's not really going to have that much effect,' said a familiar female voice.

'Who the hell -'

'Da Dark One, meet Minerva and her sidekick Doomfeather,' Nazza announced.

'Hey! I'm not her sidekick!' said Doomfeather.

'I want to sidekick someone,' said Spyro, who was still in the hand of Da Dark One.

'We have come to rescue you!' announced Doomfeather.

'No idea why,' said Minerva.

'Minerva, I'd kiss you if you weren't my mortal enemy who I despise so very very much!'

Suddenly Spyro was dropped to the ground as Doomfeather pecked the [Mario] out of Da Dark One.

'Doomfeather, I'd kiss you if you weren't a guy!' said Spyro.

Doomfeather shuddered.

'You know, that machine looks pretty neat,' said Nazza. 'Such a pity it has no potential.'

'Hey, that gives me an idea...' said Spyro.

==IN SPYRO'S DEMENTED AND SICK BRAIN==

Spyro pulled the switch. 'Hehehe, burning birdies!'

==OUT OF SPYRO'S DEMENTED AND SICK BRAIN==

'Spyro, there's two problems with that,' Nazza stated. 'One, you don't electricute people who saved your life - or your demented and sick brain, at least. Two, it's not "the chair".'

'No burning birdies?'

'Afraid not.'

'Oh well.'

==IN SPYRO'S DEMENTED AND SICK BRAIN==

'Look Nazza, I found "the chair"! Come here birdies...'

===

'Uh, evil dragon, we were wondering...'

'Yes?' said the dragon.

'Err.' Hunter looked around nervously. 'Do you happen to have any keys?'

'Actually, I found one just before,' said Snowflake. 'But you can't have it unless you do me a favour.'

'What do we have to do?' Elora asked.

'Find Spyro,' said the dragon. 'Bring him to me.'

===

'You can't get away that easily!' boomed Da Dark One.

'I think we can!' said Spyro, pulling out a green machine gun. 'DIE!' A green laser shot out of the machine gun, and Spyro pointed it at Da Dark One.

'No! I'm melting! Melting...'

Spyro put the machine gun away. 'The fun of shooting someone with a pulse rifle.'

'Well, we gotta leave now,' said Doomfeather, flying off.

'Yeah,' said Minerva, who also flew off.

'Hmm, now what do we do?' Spyro asked.

'Spyro!' said a familiar voice. Hunter and Elora had just run up. 'You want the last Speedway key, right?'

'Yeah Elora, why?'

'There's a dragon that will give you the key if you show up,' said Hunter.

'Very well,' said Spyro, 'I'll go. Hey dog! Follow me.' Nazza stopped chasing a lizard and followed Spyro as he entered the Ocean Speedway.

===

'Ah, hello Spyro,' said Snowflake.

'Where's my key!' said Spyro. 'Hand it over.'

'Not so fast,' said Snowflake. 'First I need you to do something.'

'What's that?'

'I need you to assassinate the president.'

'How the hell is he going to do that?' said Nazza, who was dangling below Spyro.

'What the hell are you doing here?' said Snowflake.

'I'm helping Spyro get the keys,' Nazza replied.

'Whatever.'

'I'm not going to assassinate the president,' said Spyro.

'Oh well. Here's the key anyway.'
