Let The Games Begin

"How much longer is this going to take?" James asked Shadora impatiently "The longer this takes the longer that wretched parrot has them"

"I am aware James, he is doing something, I cant track them properly" The owl said

"What do you mean?" James asked

"Exactly what I said" Shadora "The system is acting weird"

"Let me see it" Penelope said as she walked over to the owl, looking over Shadora's shoulder she began studying the odd pattern on the monitor. After a few moments of silence Penelope began typing on the panel, Shadora watched curiously trying to figure out what she was doing. After she was done the pattern was no longer a jumbled confusing mess, it was a clear as the night sky. "There you go"

"How did you do that?" Shadora asking blinking at the mouse

"I spend a lot of time decrypting ancient scrolls and writings, it comes in handy" The mouse said smiling

"You are now my new favorite person" James said happily

"Thank you" Penelope smiled

It took about an hour for the three to reach the small island Arpeggio was on. It was a creepy looking island in the middle of the ocean, it was a small ocean the only thing on it was a circular ring next to a few trees. Rain was now falling hard and making things hard to see. James blinked as he stared out the rainy window at the small island. "That cant be it, you must have it wrong"

"No it is it" Penelope said simply looking at the small structure.

"What makes you say that?" the wolf asked skeptically

"Because" The owl began "His fortress is hidden in the air, the ring is a transporter"

The mech landed on the island and the three got out. "Quickly" Shadora said as she ran across the island, Penelope and James behind her.

"We don't even know where that ring will end up!" James shouted through the rain as the three raced across the beach. "It could take us right to Arpeggio and then everything will be ruined!"

"That is true, but a chance we'll have to take, the mech only has a limited amount of power left and it's just enough to get us from hear to the nearest land." Shadora shouted through the rain. "If we use it and Arpeggio has no energy sources that work for it then we have no way to escape this island." The three reached the golden looking ring and stared. Penelope sighed, James had a good point and so did Shadora so they'd have to be careful about how they approached this ring. "Now how should be go about this?"

"I don't know, I still say we shouldn't go through it at all" the wolf said crossing his arms

"Well fine you grow wings and get up there!" Shadora said getting angry

"Why don't you, you have wings go get up there and we can wait here" the wolf argued

"Wings and water don't work, furball"

Penelope sighed watching the two of them continue with there arguing. She took a moment to stare at the ring thinking of possible places it could end up. The logical one would be Arpeggio's main room, but there was probably a number of places that it could end up. Shrugging she walked in the ring, logical if you get teleported up it should teleport you back down, so if the coast was clear she'd just come back down and tell them. A small golden light swirled from her feet to her head and in a matter of seconds she was gone. Shadora and James continued arguing not noticing their other ally had disappeared. Penelope observed her surroundings when she reached the other ring. She was in a dark looking room, she could make out some metal and some boxes. If her guess was correct it looked like a weapon supply room. Smiling she went back through the ring and to the beach. Shadora and James were still arguing, shaking her head Penelope interrupted the two. "Come on. It's safe"

"How do you know?" James asked watching her

"I went through it while you were arguing, it looks safe to me" Penelope replied.

"Good enough for me" Shadora said as she moved onto the ring. James sighed and stepped into the ring with his other companions. Golden light circled then and they were in the weapons room of Arpeggio's air fortress.

"This way" Penelope said point in a direction. The owl and the wolf followed the mouse; they found a door and carefully walk out it, making sure no guards were present. The hallway was also dark; apparently Arpeggio didn't like the light. It made no difference to the three of them darkness helped them hide better. It was clear to Shadora and Penelope after about three hallways that this fortress was a maze, if you didn't know where you were going you were gona get lost. It was a fork in the hallways that made them stop. "Ok who's going which way?"

"I"ll go this way, you two go that way" Shadora said "One might lead to Heather and Benetly, the other might lead to Sly, either way we'll get what we need in a faster time. Penelope nodded and she and James took off down a hallway, Shadora watched them and went down the other one.

The hallway Penelope and James went down was very narrow, and very small, Penelope had no problem with it but James had to hunch over to avoid hitting his head on the ceiling. "Where do you think this leads? To the raccoon or to my sister and your turtle friend?" James asked

"I hope to Heather and Bentley, I still do not know how to snap Sly out of his state and maybe Bentley will know something." Penelope replied as they continued down the hall. "I have a hunch it will though, just by the design of this hallway it leads to Heather and Bentley"

"How could the hallway tell you that?" James asked confused

"It's narrow and small, Arpeggio would most likely want a bigger hallway for his presence" Penelope explained

"Oh that makes sense I guess" James said with a shrug. They turned the corner of the hallway, and it led to a room full of bars. "Yup you were right"

"Penelope!" Bentley exclaimed going to the bars.

"James!?" Heather exclaimed confused yet happy.

The hallway Shadora had gone down was a large yet curvy hallway, it was starting to make the owl angry, going in circles wasn't one of her favorite things. The hallway seemed to end rather quickly, what was beyond it was a crescent moon time area that lead to a large circular room make of what seemed to be stained glass. From her position she could make out two figures in the room, one was tall and the other was short. It was none other than Arpeggio and Sly. "Well that was fairly simple"

"Yes thank you" a voice said behind her. Shadora blinked and turned around; behind her were two of Arpeggio's guards.

"Thank you for getting caught close to our masters main room" the second guard said "Less of a walk" Shadora growled as the two guards grabbed her and threw her into the main room "She was trespassing"

"Thank you. Now go" Arpeggio said from his perch. They left and Arpeggio turned his attention of the owl. "Well, well Ms. Werks so nice to see you again"

"I'd say the same but I really don't like you" Shadora said standing up

"Aww, to bad. Oh well. So you managed to get out of jail" Arpeggio said watching her

"Yeah I got bored" The owl said crossing her arms "Can we just skip the pointless conversation and I take the raccoon"

"I don't think he wants to go" The parrot said looking at Sly "Do you?"

"Nope" Sly said simply

"See" The parrot said turning back to the owl "Are you going to force him?"

"Yup" Shadora said smiling "Let the games begin"
