All right! This is chapter 9 in the saga. So far Fox and
Clay have the two weapons, they
found Tricky, and Clay died but came back to life! Again this will not be my last Fic and I already have
ideas for the sequel to this one! Here is a little hint, Clay gets a girl in it! Nothing new on the virus but I'll
tell you as soon as I find something. Now chapter 9.
"Wow." Clay whispered under his breath as the three looked over the cliff at the snowhorns below.
"Those must be the snowhorns I heard about, which means that we're in Snowhorn Wastes and that's right
next to the Hollow!" yelled Tricky in great excitement.
"Snowhorns?" Clay asked not taking his eyes off the giants below.
"Yeah, they're supposed to be really friendly but we wont need they're help yet." Replied Tricky
"Well, I guess we better keep going if we want to get back to the hollow before dark." Announced Fox.
As the trio walked down from the cliff they saw more of the habitat that the massive giants dwelled
in. They saw a large golden gate with a keyhole next to it, and right across the road a tunnel which
probably led to the hollow but there was something keeping them back, a huge sharpclaw guard!
"Fox, what is that thing?" Asked Clay clearly confused.
"I don't know." Replied Fox still staring at the guard.
The reason for Fox and Clay's confusion was the guard was as big as two Foxes and on top of all that he
was blue! Tricky clearly knew what it was though.
"Oh, I know what that is, it's a bribeclaw!"
"A WHAT!?" Yelled Fox and Clay in unison
"That is a bribeclaw, my mom told me about them when I was little."
"Ok, now that we know what it is, how do we get past it?" asked Clay who had his sword out.
"Well, I think you're supposed to give it the amount of money that it asks for, you know you bribe
it."
"All right, no problem." Said Fox as he walked towards the beast digging out about 30 dollars from
his pocket.
Tricky got a confused look on his face as if Fox had just shot Clay.
"Why are you giving it paper?"
Fox blushed and stuffed the money back in his pocket, he realized that cornerian money didn't work on
Dinosaur Planet.
"Ok, then what do you use for money down here?" asked Clay still staring at the bribeclaw.
"We use things called scarabs." Replied Tricky
"Say what?" Fox questioned
"Oh man not those little bug things" groaned Clay.
"You know about them Clay?" Said a very surprised Tricky.
"Yeah, I saw some when I was pursuing you when I came back to life." Announced Clay.
"All right then where do we find them?" asked Fox looking around on the ground.
Clay chuckled to himself and said, "well right now you can find them in my pocket, I thought they would
be useful since they were glowing so I picked them up."
Clay dug out a couple of brightly red glowing scarabs, which were scuttering around madly. Fox
took one look at them and he coughed in disgust.
"Will this be enough?" asked Clay hopefully who obviously didn't like the new items either.
Tricky looked at them and then got an excited look on his face.
"Yeah, that will be plenty!"
"How can you tell, they all look the same to me!" Fox yelled as Clay walked towards the giant.
Fox was right, all of the tiny insects were the same size and the same shape. The only thing different
about them was their color. About one-fourth of them were glowing a bright green, another fourth were a
dull red, and the other half were a very bright red.
"Ok, then which ones do I give him?" asked Clay who was sorting out the little creatures.
Tricky looked over them and then said, "give him 1 bright red, 1 dull red, and 5 green ones."
"All right, here you go big fella."
The bribeclaw looked at him with a surprised, pleased and horror struck look on his face.
"Um, thanks you can go but don't tell anybody or you'll be sorry!" snarled the blue beast as he shuffled
out of the trio's way.
The three looked at each other with excited looks on their faces and they walked into the dark, dank, tunnel.
As they walked into the tunnel they saw what looked like floating fire! They saw they were bats on fire but still
on flying around the room. As they tried to sneak past them the bats saw the trio and dive-bombed them!
"Look out!" yelled Fox as he shot one down with a fire blast.
Clay took out the second one by slashing it's head off and said, "are all the enemies here this easy, Tricky?"
"Not all of them, some are as hard as you can get!"
"Well, tell us when we are going to see some." Asked Fox as he looked into the corridor around the bend.
When they were a good distance down the hallway the three slipped and fell into a river with a very strong
current. Fox and Clay didn't know what to do and tried to swim back.
"It's okay" yelled Tricky, "this leads to the hollow."
Fox and Clay looked at each other and decided to trust their prehistoric friend and let the current drag them down
stream. When they got to the end the three climbed out and walked forward towards a large gate. When they reached the
gate they saw the beautiful landscape of Thorntail Hollow.
"Wow, it's been so long since I've been here, it feels great!" yelled and to Fox and Clay's surprise he jumped the
fence.
"Tricky, come back!" yelled Fox and Clay in unison.
Clay blasted away the fence and they watched as Tricky ran off towards the temple.
Great chapter! That was my longest one yet! Nothing on the virus, I'm starting to get impatient.
So goodbye for now, I want to go play my Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. See ya in chapter 10!
