Chapter 5: The Second War

NOTE: I am now labeling who speaks Nina or Nona, to be less confuzzling. R&R ppl plz. And yes I like using chatspeak .

Nona cringed.

Nona: Oh boy. All I knew was that the portal was there…not where it led.

Nina: I'LL KILL YOU! As soon as we can figger out really whose world we're in.

Spyro was having no better luck.

"Is anybody really around here?" asked Bianca.

As if in answer to her question, a person actually saw the party, but (luckily)(really it depends on whose side you're on) not Nona or Nina.

"Lyke png! TNT released new pets! I pwn all!"

Everybody looked at each other. "You think TNT is the name of the portal?" said Hunter.

"I doubt it," said Bianca.

"You!" a shrill voice could be heard.

Nobody could be seen or heard. "What are all of you doing out there? Come where I can see you, behind this house."

The party had no choice but to move behind the old-fashioned house. Only a dark purple cloud was there.

Nina and Nona looked at each other then ran away into a tiny hole, but they both fit.

"I brought you here… a war has arisen once again in Meridell. And enemies are close by. One of who you are familiar with, the others you are not. And beware! There will soon be a traitor in your midst. Take great care. Go. Explain to the King that you are here to serve in the war."

"Hold on…who are we fighting?" asked Spyro.

"You will find out when you get to the king. Good luck." And without a trace, the cloud disappeared, without a sound or as much as a puff of smoke.

The party walked to the castle, trying to ignore the many strange looks, and remarks about TNT.

Everything would have been fine had it not been for the guard.

"Who goes 'ere, ey? We need no more troublemakers."

Bianca decided to speak up first. "We need to speak to the king about the…Meridellian war that's going on."

"Blimey. If it isn't what everybody's doing," he muttered.

Spyro had an idea.

"Did you hear TNT released a new pet?"

"They did!" and so the guard ran to…who knows where.

"How did you know about that?" asked Sparx.

"It just came to me," he said.

Inside the castle was glorious! But the throne room was quite hard to find…but it was right in front of them all. :P

Nina and Nona were really getting cramped in that hole.

Nina:Nona. We gotta get out of here. And we gotta fight! This could be our opportunity to show everybody we can kick ass!

Nona:Okay okay! Sheesh. But how to get to the castle and sneak I have no idea.

¬.¬ Just get out of the hole.

They both popped out and crept to the roof of the castle, Nina holding onto Nona's feet while she eavesdropped.

"Oh? I don't remember seeing you four around here." The king was saying, and his name happened to be Skarl, a fat dinosaur type creature he looked.

"We came from another world—you see Sire, we don't know what happened, but a portal opened up and led here. And then a purple cloud talked to us and said you were at war so well," Bianca looked at Hunter nervously, "we're here to help,"

"Recruits!" Skarl laughed. "This war is with Lord Kass. He's taken over the citadel hanging over Meridell again. This time, he's planning to terrorize Meridell too. You there, fellow. You look strong, but you have to learn to use a sword."

Hunter's eyes popped. "Whoa! A sword! I mean…thank you, sire."

Skarl chuckled. "And you," he pointed to Sparx. "Who are you?"

"I'm Sparx, but with all due respect sire, my place is with Spyro," he buzzed.

"I see. And you—you look like you could use some armor."

Spyro tried to object, but couldn't find a good excuse. "It just isn't movable," he managed to say at last.

"I'll have to see how all of you fight. Talok! Bring them to the training dummies."

Talok looked like a cat, except that he had armor. (If you are a neopet fan, I am describing a Wocky)

Nona: "Ugh…my head feels weird… Nina, you hag for a while and I'll hold you down."

Nina:"No way! My hands can't get tired but yours can. And…Meridell sounds evil, so maybe I can join their side. What do you think Nona?"

Nona:"You're crazy! Kass sounds way better than medieval stuff like Meridell. NOW PULL ME UP! And by the way, why are we speaking?"

Nina pulled Nona up and they slid down the roof but couldn't get hurt. Nina always landed on her hands, and Nona always landed on her feet.

Nona:I thought we were the ass-kicking team! Why do you want to fight for Meridell?

Nina:Oh come on, Nona. Often things like that are lies. MERIDELL is obviously on the side of evil. Maybe if you could just—

Nona:LOOK! We're never going to stop arguing about this, so let's just go our separate ways, even if we ARE twins.

Nina:o.o Fine. But you're not getting my cell phone when I die, you remember that.

So the war between Meridell and Kass was not the only one that was going on…
