Dimension Traveling: Beast Quest

Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I don't own Beast Quest only my own characters.

AN-I'm back guys and this should be the second last chapter of this fic the next fic will be called Dimension Traveling: Belgariad.

As they were nearing the desert Andrew spoke up, "You know. Malvel's been very quiet lately. It's a bit unnerving."

"Yes it is. Although he doesn't really talk that much. I suppose we'll see him later."

"Yeah, he will be there for our sixth beast so let's take the reprieve while we can."

"I suppose so."

The three friends rode into town to find many people wandering the streets. "I think its market day." Andrew said.

"You've got that right," A townsperson spoke up, "Would you like me to take your animals to get a drink?"

"Sure thing friend."

After spending the night at one of the town's hostels they asked if their animals could stay in town while they went out into the desert. The hostel owner agreed to look after the three beasts.

Tom, Elenna and Andrew walked out into the desert. At the outskirts of town he turned to the two of them. "Ok we take one more step and we'll be blasted with boiling hot air. So brace yourselves."

With that Andrew stepped out in full armour preventing the heat from reaching him. Tom and Elenna followed suit but stumbled back at the intense heat. Andrew stepped back over the ward line, "Ok that's hotter than I expected it to be." He then produced two cloaks that had the same enchantments on it as his armour. "Put these on it will stay the heat."

They gratefully accepted the cloaks putting them on immediately and stepping back out of the ward line. Andrew followed clipping on some go-go goggles in the off chance there would be a sandstorm.

After walking for several hours they reached a rocky area that lead down into a valley. At the bottom of the valley was a monstrous two headed beast with a snake's tail, a man's body and two snake heads. Coiled in its tail were a set of gleaming gold leg guards. Tom spoke up, "So we have to kill this beast"

"Yes and if we cut off its heads they will come alive leaving the dead body behind."-Andrew

"How will we do this?"-Tom

"I will attempt to negotiate with it and then kill or just kill it if that doesn't work."-Andrew

Elenna snorted, "You'd think that Malvel would stop using snakes for beasts."

"Yes you would think that."-Andrew

"Well let's start."-Tom

With that Andrew walked down into the valley.

Vipero turned to face him as he walked down. "Finally sssome food."

"Not ssso fassst sssserpent. I am a ssspeaker and you ssshall obey me."

Vipero was torn between obeying his creator or the speaker. Eventually the snake part in him won and he bowed his heads submissively. "What isss your will massster?"

"I have two ordersss. One hand over the Golden armour piecccesss you have. Once Vipero had done that he spoke again. "My second order isss to die. As he finished the sentence he released his Basilisk. It bit Vipero in the shoulder killing it in moments. Once the basilisk was back in Andrew's skin he collected the leg guards and took them up to Tom and Elenna. Tom quickly put them on and they both felt a rush of adrenaline go through their legs.

"Speed and endurance," Tom murmured

"Agreed," Andrew whispered back.

The three friends walked back into town with triumphant smiles on their faces just as the sun was setting. Andrew removed the charm stopping people from entering the desert and set the cooling charm to slowly deteriorate over time. They stayed the night at the same hostel before heading off the next day for the mountains.

Tom and Andrew had races to see who could get to a certain point they could both see through the Golden Helmet power while Elenna raced alongside them on storm and Silver leaped forward. They soon came to an apple orchard.

Tom sprang into a tree and handed down apples for those that would eat them. He soon jumped down and joined in with the apple eating. Seeing Andrew pensively rolling an apple in his hands, Tom asked, "Andrew what's wrong?"

"Nothing' wrong Tom. I was just thinking about starting an apple collection. It's just a stupid idea but still."

"You should do it Andrew."-Elenna

"Thanks Elenna. I think I will."

Just as they were packing up to leave Tom spotted a 'T' carved into the tree. "Hey guys. Do you think that 'T' stands for Taladon, my father?"

"I think it does Tom."-Elenna

"Yes it does seem so. You'll meet your father one day Tom and you'll go on a quest to save him from the curse he's under. And after that quest you'll then travel the seas to the land of Gwildor. Many secrets will be uncovered there."

They stood in silence for a minute or two before silently getting ready and leaving.

Soon enough they got to the town surrounded by mountains where there were festivities happening. "What's happening today?"-Tom

"It's the King's birthday."-Andrew

After a day full of activity at the festival. Elenna won them a place to sleep for the night at the coconut shy. Andrew released his Spinarak and Ariados to patrol the town and to follow Arachnid when it left town.

Andrew woke when he heard Tom struggling. He immediately felt the webs that surrounded them and cast an incendio to get rid of the webs. Elenna had woken up at the same time and was already on her feet getting ready. Andrew rose out of his bed grabbed his staff and made his armour visible. By the time he was done Tom had already put the Golden Armour on and was at the door.

They made their way downstairs and left some money on the bench for the woman who let them stay the night.

Andrew was casting some detection spells and couldn't find a trace of the wards he set up but he did find a recognisable magic signature, Malvel.

"Well let's get going and finish this quest guys."

"Sure thing." they both responded."

They followed the trail of spider webs that Spinarak and Ariados left for the three of them to follow. It lead them to a narrow path near the first entrance into the tunnels. It was here that they left Storm and Silver before edging along the path towards the other entrance.

They got to the other end safely where they found Spinarak and Ariados standing next to a hole in the ground. After calling the two pokemon back Andrew turned to Tom and Elenna told them his plan.

"Elenna, you go into the shadow realm and get the Golden Gauntlets while I release my Basilisk to scare Arachnid to death before killing it after you get the Gauntlets. Tom, your sitting out on this one but we'll all need to help we can get for the final beast.

"That's ok Andrew. I know there will be a lot of time when you won't be around to help us out."

"Yeah, so Elenna get down there girl. Lisk it's time to shine." He had finally decided on a name for his Basilisk.

Lisk burst out and after a quick conversation in parsletongue slithered down the hole with Elenna already down there.

Five minutes later Elenna faded back to the land above holding a set of gleaming, gold gauntlets.

Tom pulled on the gauntlets and felt his sword skills become more honed while Andrew skills with his staff improved greatly.

It was another ten minutes before Lisk slid back out of the tunnel dragging a giant spider and a currently terrified woman on the giant spiders back.

"Good on you Lisssk" Andrew hissed before Lisk faded back into his skin.

They helped the woman to the bottom of the mountain before leaving once more towards the plains.

One more chapter and we can move onto the next story in this series. See ya.
