Chapter Two: Link The Mole

They set off under Blink's large Earth Pile and started their journey.

"Hope you have enough energy. Its quite dangerous down here. There are Blood Beetles, Mutant Flies, too many.."

"What are Blood Beetles and Mutant Flies?"

"Blood beetles suck blood out warm blooded things. Like us, basically. Mutant Flies are really huge flies but I can take care of them."

The underground place looked really dirty and messy. There was mud around everywhere and Blink kept slipping on it. Blink got out his goggles and kept looking around for any creatures behind or in front of them.

"I've heard weird noises down here the deeper I go guys," He said. "The more closer I go, the more noises I hear."

"What kind of noises?" Said Spyro.

"Just banging and crashing and weird stuff…I can't explain it."

They were quite concerned about that.

"Once I swear I heard a grunt of some sort, just something."

As though they felt like they were walking forever, they approached a large door, which was barricaded by rocks. Blink moved them out of the way. He didn't look happy…

"Ugh, Link!"

"What is it? Is it you, Blink?"

"Yes, it sure is! With a few of my friends, only two of them."

"Are - Are they safe?"

"Of course they are! There is Spyro, basically the hero of the Dragon Realms, and his sidekick Sparx."

"Okay, come on in."

They heard a sound of footsteps approaching the door and then a mole opened the door. A load of rocks came piling down after he opened it.

Link looked like Blink a lot, he had goggles like Blink and wore the same gloves as Blink. But he was very thin and he looked very dirty, just like he had been rolling in mud. He was still acting very nervous when they came in, and kept looking at Spyro and Sparx in a sharp look.

"Link?!" Said Blink. "How many times do I have to tell you? There is nothing to attack you!"

"Sorry, brother," he apologized, "I just keep thinking its Red The Dragon that is after me."

"But he can't be! He's to small to even touch you!" Laughed Blink.

"Laugh all you like brother, I don't find it at all hilarious. Do you know anything about Red, Spyro and Sparx."

"Of course! The Gnorcs planted the Dark Gems (the life draining stones that fuel Red's evil power). And Gnasty Gnorc their leader teamed up with Red for causing havoc over the dragon Realms. And then he had Neptune (the goddess of the sea), to do the same thing but she couldn't leave the water.

But then, when I went to Red's Laboratory, The Professor was captured! And he was forced to make the Gnorcs robotic. And when I tried to fought Red, he transformed himself into a Robot! But the Professor helped me to beat him and shrink Red down to a small size. He now remains in the Professor's Laboratory nearby and is inside basically a Tin Can! Trust me Link, there is no way Red can come after you!"

"True," said Blink.

There was a silence and everyone kept thinking of something to say, but then finally, Blink spoke.

"I keep hearing loud noises down here. Have you heard this, Link?"

"Yes… This is why I'm such a scared mole. I keep thinking its Gnasty Gnorc."

Everybody shuddered violently.

"He can't be back! Not a third time… I beat him in his cave!"

"Yes," trembled Link, "but that may not be the case. What if he returned by the Dark Forces."

"The Dark Forces?!" Wondered Spyro. "What's that?!"

"Well. That is a good question. The Dark Forces is a terrible thing…I can't describe. Apparently they are looking for a leader."

"I think we should go and tell the Professor; he usually chips in with our help," said Spyro.

"Yeah, we better go," agreed Sparx.

"Okay guys, I'll show you the way back up Spyro," suggested Blink.

"Oh! And Spyro? I want to tell you, If Red ever returns, you along with your friends can only help."

"What Link?"

"C'mon Spyro, its getting creepy down here."
