SWEET! This is so cool! I'm typing 2 chapters in one day! My mom fell asleep so I'm

on as long as I want! Sorry, anyway Tricky has run away and Fox, Clay, and the sharpclaws are chasing

him! On with the chase and into chapter 6!

The wind blew through Fox and Clays' fur as they sped along the icy road chasing after the Prince

Tricky and the 2 sharpclaws. They sped past snowhorns, trees and went through many tunnels until they

spotted their enemies who had not yet found the prince either.

"Fox." Clay yelled from behind the vulpine, "I think we're close, we'd better get in front of these guys."

"Yeah." Agreed Fox and both of them did a speed boost, which made them catch up to the dinosaurs

tremendously. The sharpclaws saw this and started tossing mines at their persuers but were quickly

blasted away by shots from Krystal's staff and Clay's sword. Then to Fox and Clay's horror, they saw the

Prince Tricky running for dear life just in front of them.

"RUN TRICKY, RUN!" yelled both Fox and Clay in unison, which made Tricky hear them easily

and he leaped over the edge of a small cliff and disappeared.

"Fox, we still have to take out these two!" Clay yelled back to his leader.

"Right." Replied Fox and he took out the staff and started firing at the sharclaw in front of him.

All of a sudden the other sharclaw blew up and Fox knew Clay had made contact with the bike.

Clay put his sword away letting Fox have some fun firing at the last dinosaur, and finally the bike that Fox

was shooting at exploded and ended the threat, at least that is what they thought. Fox and Clay started

celebrating a little too early and forgot all about the cliff that Tricky had gone over just moments before.

When they were just a few feet away from the edge Fox saw the drop and tried to stop, but it was too late.

"We're going over!" Fox screamed at the top of his lungs.

"This is going to hurt!" Yelled Clay as the two plummeted off the cliff.

As they fell they noticed a spring right under them and coming out of it was Tricky!

"LOOK OUT!" Clay hollered down to the young earthwalker.

Tricky looked up and saw the two falling animals and ran out of the way just as they splashed into the

hot spring. Fox looked up he was in the deepest part of the spring even though it only reached up to his

knees. He saw Clay getting up a few feet away and as they were walking out Tricky started talking in dino

language again.

"W-What?" Clay coughed

Tricky started his message over but was cut off by Fox.

"We can't understand you."

Tricky yet again started his message, but halfway through slippy's translator kicked in and Tricky

was talking in a sensible language!

"-Hot spring or you'd be frozen by now!" chuckled the prince.

Fox and Clay had not heard the start of the sentence but they filled in the blanks.

"Why you little." Growled Fox as he reached out for the cocky prince.

"Wait until I get my hands on you!" snarled Clay also trying to catch Tricky in his rough hands.

"Hey I wouldn't if I were you! My dad is the king earthwalker and he'll bash you up!" Whined tricky.

Fox and Clay stopped and knelt down in the snow, exhausted from their adventure.

"I don't know if he'll be doing any bashing he has been captured, that is why we've been sent to

rescue you." Fox said in a softer tone of voice.

"He's been captured!" Yelled tricky now looking horror struck.

"Yes, that's why your mother sent us to find you." Exclaimed Clay.

"Is she, ok?" asked the prince with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Fox thought for a moment and then looked at Clay who nodded.

"She'll be just fine, but we need to get you home." Comforted Fox as they walked off on the road

to their next task: returning Prince Tricky.

A few minutes later the 3 came to a big lava pool with only one stepping stone in the middle.

"I guess we're stuck, I mean we can't jump across." Said Clay in an exhausted voice.

"Well, we have to try." Fox groaned.

Both him and Clay were very tired and needed food and rest but they had to wait until they got back

to Thorntail Hollow. So they climbed down onto the ledge, Fox took a deep breath and leaped across the

pool landing safely on the other side.

"Hey, it's easy come on!" Fox yelled back as he jumped to the other side of the pool.

"Ok, here we go." Clay whispered and he took a running jump over the lava with Tricky right behind him.

Both of them landed on the other side and did their best to keep their balance. Tricky was so anxious

to see his mom that he quickly leapt over to the ledge Fox was on and turned around to watch Clay come

over. Clay was about to jump when a shiny object stabbed him in the back making him bleed badly.

"AAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH." Screamed Clay in pain as he fell off the ledge heading for the pool

of lava.

OH NO! Clay might die! I'm just saying that to put you in suspense cause I know what is going to

happen! What, who, and why stabbed Clay? All will be revealed in the next chapter! PIECE OUT!!!!!
