School starts in two days! I'm actually EXCITED, surprisingly. Sadly, this means I have less time to write. :( I'll try my hardest to get one chapter a day up, but I may end up making it a bi-daily thing.
Electric blue sparks flew from the trees. Donnie had retrieved his equipment from the lair and, with Glaedr's assistance, was crafting a weapon to kill Shruikan. Eragon was teaching Raph basic attack and defense spells. Saphira, Mikey, and Leo were huddled over to the side, making plans about the strike against Galbatorix and Shredder. Suddenly, Donnie shouted, "FINISHED!" Everyone watched as Donnie walked out from the trees, wearing a headset. "Lady-dragons and gentlemen!" he called, "Presenting….the new and improved….Glaedr!" A lanky metal robot with gangly limbs emerged from the trees. Its jaw creaked open and a jet of flame shot out.
"What did you do to him?!" Mikey screamed.
"I am alright, Michelangelo." Glaedr's voice emanated from the machine. The android's left arm opened a hatch on its front with unsteady movements. The golden Eldunari sat within. "This body allows me to assist you as more than just a voice."
"Like Cuaroc from Doru Araeba?" Saphira asked.
"Exactly!" Donnie exclaimed, "That's who inspired me to make this. Glaedr mentioned something about how he wanted to help, and he said something about Cuaroc, so I made this."
"It suits you, Ebrithil." Eragon stated with a smile, circling Glaedr.
"I cannot wait for the battle." Glaedr declared happily, "This is the best I've felt since I lost my body."
"Saphira and I determined that we need a blueprint of the Shredder's lair before we can go any farther," Leo said, "Though I have absolutely no idea how to get one."
"We've either got to steal one or draw one, because I'm pretty sure Shredder isn't going to give us one." Raph declared, adding a few foreign words to shoot a laser at Eragon.
Donnie stared at Glaedr's robotic body and said, "I might just have an idea."
Glaedr hobbled up to the door and whacked it with his hand. A Foot ninja opened it and stared at the creature before him. What he saw was an incredibly tall 'man' in a fedora, extra long trench coat, and tan gloves. "Hello." Glaedr rumbled, "I would like to see a blueprint of this building." The man slammed the door. Glaedr growled and bashed on the door again. Another ninja opened the door. Glaedr grabbed the man by the neck and hissed, "Bring the blueprint." The ninja wrenched himself from Glaedr's grasp and shut the door. A lock clicked. Glaedr turned his head toward Donnie, who was perched on a nearby roof, as if to ask, "What now?" Donnie shrugged and gestured at the door. Glaedr returned his gaze to the door and picked up a blue scroll that had been slid under the door. He would back in his arm and launched the piece of paper at Donnie. Donnie caught it and ran off across the rooftop. Rockets in Glaedr's feet ignited as he flew after Donnie.
"Got it!" Donnie cried, chucking Eragon the paper.
Eragon unrolled the document and examined it. "This is precisely what we need." He stated, "Thank you, Donatello."
"Don't thank me, thank Glaedr!" he cried, pointing at the droid hovering overhead. Its rockets abruptly stopped, and Glaedr plummeted to the ground.
"I really must thank you for this." He said, "You have given me something I believed I would never have again."
"It was nothing." Donnie answer, beaming.
Eragon flattened the page and laid it across the ground. Everyone flocked around him, studying the blueprint. For hours on end they plotted and planned and schemed, scrawling across the blueprint with the end of a burnt stick. They would finish, only to remember something or notice a miscalculation. After what had seemed like ages, Mikey whined, "Are we done yet?"
"Yes Michelangelo, we are done." Saphira decreed, "All that is left to do is put it into action."
"I believe we should wait another day, maybe two." Glaedr said.
"If Galbo is as dangerous as you say he is, we should go now." Mikey said.
"Mikey has a point, surprisingly." Raph stated, "If there's a vicious dragon and a wacko warlock out there, we've got no time to lose."
"They're right, Ebrithil." Eragon said, "The time for watching and waiting has gone. It is the time to act."
Glaedr remained silent, pondering. He declared with an invisible Eldunari smile, "You are right. Watching and waiting is an endeavor of the past. We must fight."
If anyone is curious, Glaedr's body resembles an Enderman from Minecraft. It is a silvery skin-like tone instead of black.
