Hi! I'm back! If you're mad at me for not updating for a while
please don't be! I told you in the last chapter that I wouldn't be
updating for a long time because of all this stuff going on at
school. All of my teachers are getting really hard due to the end
of the year is almost here. My friends aren't helping much either.
They keep on telling me what animal they want to be in the sequel
to this story and it's driving me crazy! Oh! Before I start the story
I have to tell you that this is the edited version of this chapter. The
original version was not detailed enough so I erased the whole thing
and started from scratch. Now we can start the search for the first
spellstone in chapter 13! P.S. This chapter contains the WHOLE
Darkice Mines adventure, in other words it's really long!
Fox and Clay were silent as the rocky terrain of Darkice Mines came
into view. The reason for this sudden silence was the dream that
they both had on their trip to the mines. Many images flooded their
heads, the battlefield, the war, and the name. "Krystal", that wasn't
a name familiar to either of them yet Clay had said it and Fox had heard
it and remembered it like it was their dads' name. This name though, it was
even more familiar than that, it was like they were saying and hearing their
own names. That just wasn't possible though, neither of them knew any
Krystal. Both of them were having the same opinions of what that name
could belong to. It could be the name of a dinosaur on the planet that
they had yet to meet. It was possible that she was a person back on
Corneria who made a lying call to the heroes and only wanted them to come
down to the surface of the planet to meet her. The biggest opinion though was
that Krystal could be the name of the girl that owned Fox's staff. Both of them
hoped that this was the true opinion but neither of them had any idea of when
they were about to see her. As a matter of fact neither of them knew what
kind of animal she was. The two hoped that she was the same breed as them
but they didn't have their hopes up too high. They were just starting to think
about what she looked like when they heard their arwings make contact with
the surface of the mines. As the top of the arwings opened with a loud hiss the
two pilots jumped out and landed with a soft thud on the hard ground. As they
walked towards each other neither of them noticed the ring of lava that surrounded
the entire little piece of rock that they were standing on. It took about 30 seconds
before Clay came to by a loud pop that was given off by a lava bubble. When this
happened he remembered the bad experience he had last time he was near lava. He
groaned as Fox and Clay met in between their arwings, remembering the lava bath
he had about 7 hours ago wasn't a pleasant experience even though he knew he would
come back if he died again.
"Fox, Fox, FOX!"
"Huh, what?"
"Are you ok?" asked Clay even though he had an idea of Fox's distraction from the
mission.
"What, oh yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking."
"About the girl?" Clay butted in, hitting the nail right on the head.
"Yeah, and let me guess, you found that out by reading my mind?"
"Um, no not really."
"No? Then how did you know?"
"Well, you see I had this dream that we were at this one desert place and we were
fighting a whole lot of Sharpclaw. In the battle you got stabbed and were dying
when all of a sudden I mentioned this name called Krystal. I just read your mind to
see if you were thinking about the same thing as I was." Clay finally finished.
Fox had trailed back off into his little fantasy world of the girl while Clay was
talking.
"Fox!" Clay sighed as the vulpine was snapped out of his daydream.
"What?" Fox said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Did you hear anything I said?"
"Something about a dream on a desert right?"
"Well, yeah that's half of it. Just forget it, we have to keep going or we'll
never find the first spellstone!"
"Uh huh." Murmured Fox who again wasn't giving the mission his full attention.
Clay did his best to ignore him but Fox was starting to get out of hand now. He
couldn't blame Fox for being curious about his bitter sweet dream but still, it was
getting a little too distracting. They were just about to head up to the snowy part of the
mine when they heard a soft banging from Fox's arwing.
"What the?" Clay yelled causing a small group of rocks to collapse at the top of the
volcano.
The banging got louder as Clay approached the arwing when he realized Fox was still
behind him.
"FOX!" Clay yelled even louder causing a larger amount of rocks to collapse above
them.
"WHAT!" Fox yelled back to the extremely annoyed tiger.
"Did you hear that banging from your arwing"
"What banging?" said the confused vulpine.
"Listen."
Again, the banging got louder and louder as the highly cautious warriors approached
the ship. Fox and Clay both took out their weapons and started to power up when they
were about 5 feet away. The banging got so loud that Fox and Clay did their best to
cover up their ears and hold their weapons at the same time. They were about 1 foot
away when the bottom of the cargo hatch burst open and Tricky came flying out
startling the two. When the prince saw them with their weapons aimed at him he lied
down on the hard surface and let out a loud whimper. Fox and Clay felt slightly
ashamed that they didn't remember Tricky was in the cargo hold in the first place
and quickly put their weapons away.
"Sorry Tricky." Apologized the vulpine.
"Yeah, we were sort of side tracked." Clay added on.
"Oh, ok. If you weren't really trying to hurt me then I'm fine. What was side
tracking you though?"
"Uh, nothing Tricky. We better get moving." Said Clay Franticly.
Clay didn't want Tricky to know about the dream that they had or else he would
start teasing them or do something else that would get on their nerves. He knew Fox
didn't want him to know either because when he was done saying this Fox whispered to
him, "Nice save."
They were about half way up the slope when Tricky again started questioning their
strange acting.
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? You've been acting strange ever since we got here."
"No, nothing's wrong Tricky! And I wish you'd stop asking that!" yelled Clay making a ton
of boulders fall at the top of the volcano.
"OK!! You don't have to yell! Right Fox?" Tricky looked to Fox to see whom he was siding
with.
"Huh? Oh, yeah sure Tricky you go do that." Fox said half-hearted tone.
Tricky and Clay looked at each other and sighed. Though Tricky was itching to find out what was
so secret between Fox and Clay he laid off to prevent anymore possible outbursts. When the three
reached the top of the boiling inferno they saw a dramatic climate change. Before their environment
was hot and full of melted rock. Now the surrounding setting was a cold and miserable tundra with
ice and snow everywhere that chilled anyone that entered to the bone! With their bodies warmed up
from the lava and the yelling Fox, Clay, and Tricky's bodies were beginning to hurt.
"Ow, my body, it's so cold!" whined Clay.
"Yeah, this is REALLY cold!" Replied Fox who finally found something to snap him back into reality.
"My breath turns to ice everytime I try to warm myself up! Hold on wait a second! My breath
is getting warmer and warmer." Said Tricky with a surprised look on his face.
"What? Tricky how can your breath be gett-." Fox was cut off due to a large burst of flame that
erupted from Tricky's dinosaur gullet. When this happened Fox had to dive out of the way of
Tricky's new fire frenzy, Clay had to leap 8 feet into the air and hover there for about 10 seconds
with the power of the sword since Tricky's flame covered about the whole path. After about 8 seconds
of this Tricky lost his breath and coughed up the last few parts of his enflamed breath. Fox walked up to
him with an amazed look on his face as Clay dropped down from his safety spot in the sky also with an
amazed and scared look on his face. Tricky looked up at them and chuckled being slightly embarrassed .
"Whoa. That was sweet! That was like one of those fire breathing dragons on Dungeons and Dragons
that I'd used to play back on corneria! Remember Fox?" Clay finally finished as he looked over to the
still stunned Fox.
"Yeah I remember. You are really good at that game, I could never beat you!" replied Fox.
"Man that game is fun!" yelled Clay making another group of boulder behind them fall back down
into the inferno.
"Uh guys, I think we have a problem!" Tricky yelled back his two distracted friends.
"Huh? What's wrong Tricky?" answered Fox who looked back to the troubled prince only to find him
surrounded by many armed sharpclaws.
"Tricky get out of there!" yelled Clay who drew his sword right after saying this to the trapped prince.
"I can't! There's too many of them!" replied Tricky who turned left and right but with no success of any
escape.
"We're coming Tricky!" Fox shouted as he and Clay ran towards the shapclaws with weapons drawn and
glowing with legendary power.
Just before the two could reach Tricky they were surrounded by an even bigger group of sharpclaws. Even
though the enemies didn't attack, Fox and Clay still kept their weapons up for protection against any type of
surprise attack. During the stare down between good and evil Fox and Clay saw something different about
these sharpclaws than any other that they'd faced before. They were blue!
"Fox, these sharpclaws look really weird! I mean, they're blue! All of the other sharpclaws that we've faced
have been like a light brown!" Clay finally finished.
"Yeah, they are blue but we've face blue sharpclaws before remember?"
"What?!? We've never face a blue sharpclaw!"
"Yeah we have! Back at Snowhorn wastes we face a couple of them. You probably don't
remember because you didn't get a good look at them!"
"Hey yeah I guess you're right! Maybe only the blue sharpclaw can take the snow and cold
but not the heat like the brown ones." Clay answered the correct vulpine.
"That seems to be the case." Fox said only taking his eyes off the sharpclaws for a split second
to look at the sharpclaws that still had Tricky surrounded.
"Why are we just standing here? We should simply tear through these guys like tissue and save
Tricky!" Clay whispered back to Fox.
"You're right let's get'em!" Fox finished in a loud and brave tone as both Fox and Clay rushed the
group of sharpclaws that held them from getting to Tricky.
At the same time the sharpclaws that surrounded them charged as well but with many casualties.
The sharpclaws were so clumsy that when they started to charge their enemies they swung their weapons
about, injuring sometimes even killing each other! When Fox and Clay were surrounded there were about
30 sharpclaws, by the time the battle started there were only 14 left! Fox and Clay looked at the bumbling
monsters with embarrassed looks on their faces. When the sharpclaws finally reached them Fox smacked
one in the face giving it a good sized cut and blew it's head off with a powerful fire blast. At the same time
Clay stabbed two right through the stomach at the same time making a good amount of blood splash on to
his sword and then spun around in a full circle and sliced the heads off of another 6 sharpclaw. Now only
6 enemies remained, 3 were fighting Clay and the other 3 were with Fox. Both Fox and Clay wanted to try
out the magic strength of their weapons so Fox twirled his staff around a couple of time before he pointed
the weapon at the three and a large blue energy blast flew out of the staff and hit the sharpclaws at full
power and knocked the sharpclaws back so hard that when they hit the rock wall behind them they left
a large amount of cracks in the barrier and Fox could tell that they were dead. On the other side of the
battlefield Clay was having a good time as well. Clay did an imposing slash at the sharpclaws and
stuck his sword deep into the ground so that only about half of the blade and the handle were visible.
After a couple of seconds Clay's sword began to glow a bright yellow, when the light was almost
unbearable it stopped. The sharpclaws opened their large white eyes and looked around not knowing
if the attack worked, but Clay knew. The Sharclaws, thinking that the attack failed, got wide grins
on their scaled faces but quickly stopped when Clay stood up with a grin on his face! The sharpclaws
suddenly realized that it was a delay attack and tried to run but it was too late. Large bolts of lightning
blasted out of the ground right where the sharpclaws were and they screamed in pain as about 100,000
bolts surged through their prehistoric bodies. When the attack ended the 3 cooked bodies fell to the
ground with soft thuds. Fox and Clay carefully stepped over the many corpses as they walked towards
each other. When they met at the middle of the battlefield Fox started to put his staff away as Clay
wiped off the last few drops of blood on his sword.
"Well, that was fun." Joked Clay as he put his now clean weapon away.
"Yeah, we had a pretty good practice." Fox chuckled while he looked at the dead animals on the
cold ground.
"Wait, where's Tricky?!?" Clay yelled to Fox who started looking around franticly for the
forgotten prince.
"There he is!" Fox shouted back to Clay.
When Clay turned around he expected to see Tricky being chased by a couple dozen
sharpclaws. Instead what he found was Tricky lying in the middle of an entire field of
dead sharpclaws, the ground was badly scorched and on top of all that he was sleeping! Fox and
Clay started to laugh harder and harder until they were gasping for breath. The constant
laughter woke up the slumbering prince, as he got up and looked around he noticed all of the
corpses on the ground but the thing that caught his eye was the two animals on the ground
laughing hysterically.
"What are you guys laughing at?" Tricky chuckled who started to laugh along with his friends.
Fox and Clay didn't want to hurt Tricky but they knew they should tell him.
"You." Clay replied still panting from his outburst.
"Me?" Said Tricky sounding a little hurt.
"In a good way!" Fox said quickly standing straight up and getting control of himself.
"What do you mean in a good way?"
"We mean we were laughing at what you did!" answered Clay also taking control of his emotions.
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, but what happened." Asked Fox even though he could basically tell the story.
"Well, when you guys started to fight the sharpclaws the commander ordered the other group
to kill me."
"So the commander was fighting us?" asked Clay.
"Yep, but right after he said that he got killed by one of his own men!" replied Tricky.
"Yeah, those guys are really stupid!" joked Fox.
"No duh! Anyway the sharpclaws got confused cause usually they get an attack pattern but since
the commander was killed there was no attack pattern! So with no attack pattern they attacked me
from head on. I thought I was done for when I suddenly remembered the fire blast that I learned
earlier. So I did the same thing as I did before and sure enough, in one blast every one was cooked
to a crisp!" finished Tricky.
"Wow!" Yelled Fox.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool." Said Tricky with a smug look on his face.
"Ok ok, enough of the bragging. We need to get to the bottom of the mines if we're going to find
that spellstone!" Announced Clay who was looking around for any sign of anyone that could help
them.
"Don't even bother looking for anyone Clay! Everyone's down in the mines!" yelled Tricky.
"What! How do you know that?" yelled Clay.
"Clay don't yell! We don't' want to attract attention!" Whispered Fox to the confused and
angry tiger.
"Oh, sorry Fox." Clay whispered back being a little ashamed knowing that it was obvious not to
yell.
"I know they're down there you guys!" Tricky said in a very self-confident tone.
"How are you so sure?" asked Fox.
"When you two were fighting, all of the slaves here were lowered down into the bottom of the
mines."
"What do mean by lowered?" Clay said in a curious tone as he examined the old resting spot of
one of the slaves.
"I mean that where ever a slave stood is an elevator that brings them to any level of the mine.
The elevators are camouflaged so intruders can't find a way to get down to the mines."
"Hey that's pretty smart! But how do you know that?" Asked Fox.
"Before Scales took over the mines we used them to mine precious stone that could be only be
found here without anybody knowing. The elevators were used to ship workers and stones up to
the surface where they were made into fine weapons. But when scales found out about this he
attacked full force on the mines, the workers tried to defend the mines but were easily defeated."
"What dinosaurs worked here?" asked Clay.
"Snowhorns, the same one that are now slaves here. When they were workers they could eat,
sleep and take time off. Now as slaves they only work, no food, no water, no sleep, and no time
to just relax."
"That's horrible!" Fox said in a very angry voice.
"It sounds just like Andross was ruling the planet!" Clay said in an also angry tone.
"Yeah, it is. My mom and dad have been sending spies to the mines to see what Scales has done
here. So far they've sent 7 spies, and so far only 2 have some back alive. The spies that were
caught were tortured to death and Scales watched every one of them."
"What an evil, uh, sharpclaw!" Clay managed to get out with difficulty.
"Well, let's go! We have to go free Belina Te and the others!" Fox yelled with tons of excitement
in his voice.
"Hey yeah! I forgot about her!" Clay said in a softer but still excited tone.
"Yeah, but there's one thing that confuses me." Tricky said in a confused tone.
"What is it Tricky?" Clay asked as he jumped up and down on the snow covered
elevator.
"The elevators can only work if someone activate the generator, but the generator
needs a special power gem to work and no normal blue sharpclaw would dare carry
the gem due to the danger of losing it. So the only person who could activate them
would be-."
"Me?" said a dark and sinister voice that practically came out of nowhere.
"Who said that? Show yourself!" Clay yelled as he and Fox drew their weapons.
"Oh no, I'd know that voice anywhere." Said Tricky in a horrified voice.
Before anyone could say anything else a green figure leaped out from behind
one of the huts and landed with a loud thud and many cracks as he had landed on the
leg of one of the dead sharpclaws making many of the bones break and bust through the
rough skin. When the ground was done trembling the 3 looked up at the imposing figure
and to their horror they saw the biggest, strongest, and most evil looking sharpclaw they'd
ever seen. And as they could tell this had to be the one they were pursuing, General Scales.
"You must be the one who is the problem behind all of this pain and suffering, you must be
General Scales!" Clay growled at the smirking general with his sword ready to kill.
"Yes, I'm the one and only Scales! I'm the one true ruler of Dinosaur Planet! I'm also
the end of you!" Scales laughed in a deep and low voice which made a couple icicles fall
at the top of the peak.
"Yeah, you like to think big but you're just a big coward! We'll be heading down to the
bottom of the mines and save Belina Te and the other Showhorns! But before that, we'll
be taking care of you first!" Fox snarled at the green goul also with his staff raised.
"Well you're right about one thing, you are going down to the bottom of the mines but
not by the elevators!" Yelled Scales in a very smug tone.
"What? But that's the only way we-." Tricky was cut off by a loud crackling sound just
under them.
Fox, Clay and Tricky all got dreadful looks on their faces as the ground cracked and
crumbled beneath them. As they fell the last thing they heard was Scales laughing
before they fell into pitch-blackness.
When the three woke up they were in a large room lit wall to wall with torches. As
they stood up Fox, Clay and Tricky all heard a soft sound of what seemed to be machinery.
The sound came from behind one of the walls but it seemed that the sound was everywhere!
"Where are we?" Clay asked his friends who were listening to find out the exact location of
the sound.
"I don't know, but we must be somewhere in the mines! That sounds like machinery going
on out there!" Tricky said in an excited tone.
"I mean what room are we in?" Clay asked in a more specific manner.
"It must be one of the storage rooms. The machinery is all around us outside these walls.
So to save everyone we need to get out!" Tricky replied with a worried look on his face.
"Which isn't going to happen!" said the same evil voice from before.
"Scales!" Fox snarled as the general landed with another hard thud on the cavern floor.
"Let us out or I'll blast us out!" Clay yelled at their smirking enemy.
"That wouldn't be too smart Claws!" chuckled Scales as he approached the heroes with a
small dagger drawn as his protection.
"You're going to fight with that little thing?" Fox laughed as he and Clay got their own
powerful weapons out and ready.
"Cocky aren't we? Well maybe the fact that I can move 10 times faster than you will
change your pathetic minds!" Scales laughed even harder.
"And maybe the fact that we're 10 times stronger and have legendary weapons will
change your demented mind!" Clay said in a very confident tone.
"With three of us and only one of you, we'll kick your butt!" Yelled the angered prince.
"If you don't remember, I have an entire sharpclaw army that I can sick on you at any
time I want!"
"Oh yeah. You mean those pathetic losers that we destroyed back at the top of the mines."
Fox yelled back at the crazy leader.
"Perhaps. But before we fight, I think I should show you why you shouldn't fight with
magic here!" Scales said in a very frightful tone.
The three got confused looks on their faces as Scales snapped his snot green fingers. Right
After he did that there was a loud rumble as the wall on the south end of the cavern slid
open and revealed one of the most horrible scenes ever to Fox, Clay and Tricky. There
were snowhorns with chains around their ankles and necks with blood stained everywhere
on them and the ground along with many fresh puddles. Sharpclaws were senselessly
whipping the poor animals even though they were pushing and pushing to their limits.
"You're terrible!" Yelled Clay who was ready to pounce on the general.
Many snowhorns were in wheels and were running around trying to please their master
but still got whipped.
"How could you be so cruel?" Tricky cried with tears streaming down his eyes.
"And that's what happens to the ones that don't work hard enough!" Scales yelled as
he pointed towards a gruesome pile of dead snowhorn corpses!
"You little green skinned slimy freak!" Clay snarled with loads of anger in his eyes.
"Before you maul me, I think you might want to reconsider!" Scales yelled back to
the three angry heroes.
Again Scales snapped his fingers and out of the shadows lead by a sharpclaw on a
rope was to the three's horror, Belina Te!
"What are you going to do to her?" Fox yelled at Scales who watched with pleasure
at the pained snowhorn.
"You'll see. Now this is what will keep happening to her if you don't surrender
yourselves and you weapons!" Scales laughed as he snapped his fingers once again.
The sharpclaw with the rope took out a whip and smacked Belina Te right across
the forehead making a good-sized cut appear on the mammoth's head. Belina Te
tried to pull away but she was too weak from work and torture to free herself. The
sharpclaw kept on whipping no matter how hard Belina Te cried. What made it even
harder for the three was that they could all understand her.
"Please, no more. Don't, stop. It hurts so much. Help me." Cried Belina Te as she
turned towards Fox, Clay and Tricky.
"Stop it Scales! If you keep this up you'll kill her!" Clay shouted at Scales.
"If that's what I must do to have you surrender, then let it be done."
The sharpclaw kept on whipping her and she kept on crying and now she was coughing
up blood.
"This isn't fair Scales!" Fox screamed trying to convince the general.
"You're right it's not. WHIP HARDER!" Scales yelled at the sharpclaw.
The dino kept on whipping with more violent slashes and Belina Te got down
on her large knees and begged for mercy.
"Please, mercy." She managed to cough up through all of the blood.
"STOP!" all three horrified watchers yelled in unison.
"You know what? It's still not fair! ALL OF YOU, WHIP HARDER!" Scales pointed
to the whippers of the other snowhorns and sure enough there was more screams, pain,
and blood than ever before.
Scales just laughed and laughed and Tricky cried harder than ever before. Fox and Clay
couldn't take anymore. They knew something had to be done but what? Scales was too fast
for both of them. Though Clay saw something that Fox didn't. Scales was laughing so hard
that he had his eyes closed the whole time. So taking advantage of this Clay ran straight at Scales
and leaped into the air with his sword in attacking position.
"Get him Clay!" Fox yelled as Clay came down on Scales with a mighty slash.
"This is for all of those dinosaurs that you've caused pain to Scales!" Clay roared
slicing Scales metal claw clean off.
Scales let out a howl of pain and tried to tend to his wound. Fox ran and picked up
Scales claw and chucked it at Belina Te's whipper. The claw pierced right through
the sharpclaws skin making blood gush out of the wound and stained the cavern
floor. The sharpclaw fell down dead as Fox and Clay ran over to Belina Te to
untie her from her ropes.
"Thank you so much!" said the relieved dino as she bounded around the cavern.
"Sure thing. Now lets take care of Scales!" Fox said as he looked around for the
general.
"Where is he?" asked Tricky as he ran up to the three.
"Right over here." Said Scales from the other end of the cavern. As the four could
see Scales had a new claw on his hand and had a smug look on his face.
"What? You had a replacement?" Clay yelled as he walked towards Scales ready
to de-claw him again.
"Sure I did! This claw is to important! I wouldn't walk around without a replacement!"
"You want to see my claws? They're natural so I don't have to worry about losing
them!" Clay snarled as he approached the general with both hands armed with razor
sharp claws.
"No thanks. I would, but I don't have the time! I've got to be going now!" Scales
laughed as he pressed a button on his belt and slowly started to disappear.
"Oh no you don't! We're not letting you leave until we get that spellstone!" Fox yelled
as he and Clay ran at Scales.
"You want the stone so bad? Well fetch!" scales yelled as he blasted a hole in the cavern
and to the four's horror took out the volcano spellstone and through it down into it!
"No!" Fox and Clay yelled as they looked down the hole while Scales escaped laughing.
The hole was filled with molten lava and to Fox and Clay's surprise across the pit they
saw their arwings!
"Belina, you free all the other snowhorns. Tricky, Clay you two come with me to retrieve the
spellstone. Let's move!" Commanded Fox as they went their separate ways.
"Right!" Said the three in unison.
Belina Te ran off to free all the others and Fox, Clay and Tricky all flew across the pit to
their arwings thanks to the power of Clay's sword. When they reached the ships they realized
Fox's cargo hatch was still broken from when Tricky busted out earlier.
"Sorry Tricky, you'll have to stay here." Said Fox to the disappointed prince.
"Oh all right. But hurry!"
"Will do." Replied Clay as he and Fox jumped into there arwings.
As Fox and Clay lifted off they began their search for the spellstone.
"Fox, since this is the volcano spellstone, wouldn't just float on top of the lava?"
"Hey yeah it would! Good thinking Clay!"
"Ok, keep looking!" Clay said to his friend.
After a couple minutes of looking Clay spotted their target.
"Fox I found it! It's right by the ledge to the mines!" Clay yelled over the
communicator.
"That's weird. I was sure that the current of the lava would carry it somewhere else!"
Fox said to Clay over his communicator.
"I'm going in!" Clay said as he dive-bombed the stone.
He was about 50 feet away when it was just too hot to bear it.
"I can't take it! I have to pull up!"
"Nice try Clay. But now how do we get it?"
Clay thought for a moment and then got a great idea.
"I know! Here, I'm going in again."
"Be careful Clay!" Fox yelled.
When Clay was at the point where he couldn't take the heat anymore he blasted
right under the stone and sure enough it flew right up at him. Clay opened his top
just enough for the stone to fly in and land on his lap.
"All right Clay!" Fox whooped over the communicator.
"Hey Fox, the spellstone isn't hot at all! It's actually cold!"
"Cool! The spellstone's magic must have protected it." Fox said to Clay.
"All right, we have the spellstone now let's get Tricky and leave!" Clay said a little too
excitedly.
"Clay! I think we should talk to Belina Te a little bit don't you?"
"Oh, right. Sorry Fox." Said Clay being a little ashamed as they landed at the top of the
mines.
As they jumped out of their arwings Fox and Clay were greeted by hundreds of happy
Snowhorns and one Tricky.
"Fox, Clay! You did it! You got the first spellstone!" Tricky yipped as he bounded up to
the two.
"Thank you so much for freeing me and my tribe. I am forever thankful." Said Belina Te
who tried to do somewhat of a bow.
"Yeah, sure thing you guys. Hey Belina, do you think you and your dad can make up?" asked
Fox being real hopeful.
"Oh, I'm sure if I tell him that you guys asked for us to make up then I'm sure he'll do it as a
favor of thanks." Replied the snowhorn with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"That's great! I hope you two can see each other as soon as we get the planet back together!"
Clay joked as he Fox and Tricky began to walk away.
"All right, thanks everyone and good luck on repairing your lives!" Fox yelled back to the
crowd as the three climbed in their ships.
"Thank you Star Fox! We'll never forget you! You'll always be remembered as heroes in
our hearts!" shouted Belina over the slight roar of the thrusters.
As the ships lifted into the air the crowd began to cheer. They cheered until the ships were
out of site and while they cheered, Fox, Clay and Tricky all waved to them before they closed
up their tops and cargo hatches and blasted off towards dinosaur planet to return the first
spellstone to it's rightful place: the Volcano Force Point Temple.
YES! I'M FINALLY DONE! Sorry this took so long but I wanted to fit in the whole
mines mission in one chapter. The chapter wasn't much like the game so it took a bit of
my mind to make it happen. Hope you liked it! Now I'll start working right away on the
next one so you don't have to wait so long. See ya in chapter 14!
