Chapter 6
Woo! Last chapter. Get ready to be amazed!
"…three spells mixed together, will jam up the magical system of your power source. In this case, it's your egg Scepter. Just think of it as cars on a highway. The traffic usually flows nicely, but when the three spells are combined…it's like a traffic jam! The jam will enable you to have all three spells, but it will eventually explode. And you got a little added bonus with the permanent thing... "
"But my main power source isn't my Scepter! It's my necklace. All the power is stored in there!"
"Well, then I'd get that necklace off of you neck fast, or you'll explode. And trust me. It won't be a pretty sight."
"Oh, really? And you know all this…how?" said the Sorceress, fumbling with the clasp to her necklace, but not getting it open.
"I actually read through the whole book…unlike you, you know it WAS from my personal library in my house! And did you also know…wait…what time is it?"
"Three in the morning!" yelled Spyro from the other side of the arena. Elora had already fallen asleep.
"Well…in that case…" said Ripto,
"The magic in your necklace should cause you to explode any minute now!"
"Huh?" said the Sorceress. Her necklace started to vibrate, and send sparks flying everywhere, and she started to glow a very bright pinkish color. The magic raised the Sorceress into the air, and then she fell down and landed on the hard floor. Once the glow faded, she seemed to be alright, but when she got up again, it still wasn't over.
"You'll be dead in a little while, you know." Said Ripto slowly. "And guess what else?"
"What?"
"I know the counter curse."
"THEN SAY IT! NOW!" yelled the Sorceress.
"…what's in it for me…?"
"I won't post these pictures of you in your bunny slippers all over the internet." The Sorceress held up a camera.
"Grr…FINE! I'll tell you the counter curse, if you hand over the camera." Said Ripto, not wanting to be the laughing stock of the entire world wide web.
"NO DEAL!" yelled the Sorceress. "How do I know it's the real counter curse?"
"Well how do I know you don't have copies?"
"JUST MAKE THE DEAL ALREADY! I WANNA GET OUTTA THIS DUMP!" yelled Spyro from across the arena.
"Alright, alright! We'll just have to trust each other on this…I mean…if we don't make the deal…you'll be dead anyway, and me and my bunny slippers will be all over the internet…so neither of us will benefit…" said Ripto.
"Fine…" the Sorceress agreed.
"Alright, here are the ingredients to the potion that you have to drink in order to reverse the effects. It'll all be back to normal when you take this…"
An hour later…
Ripto had returned from his Chateau with a special orange potion that cleared her necklace up from any unneeded magic debris.
Spyro was in a wheel chair, since he couldn't exactly walk on one leg and one arm only, Elora was fine, Ripto was on crutches and covered in Band-Aids, and the Sorceress was normal too.
"Heh…those pictures were pretty funny…" said the Sorceress.
"I don't want to talk about it… HEY! I put the pictures in my back pocket…but now they're GONE!"
"It's alright, Ripto…they probably just fell out of your pocket when we were at the lair. It's alright…no one ever goes there anyway. I never even go there." said the Sorceress.
"Alright…no one?"
"No one."
Three days later…
"Whoa…" said Spyro as he walked through the doorway of the Sorceress's Lair. Elora had lost her necklace while she was there, so Spyro was going to go find it for her.
"Ah. Here it is!" he said, as he saw a chain with a charm lying on the floor on the edge of the arena.
The platform was gone, and everything was back to normal now, but just as Spyro was walking towards the exit, he spotted something other than blood laying on the ground. It was a digital camera.
"Hmmm…" he wondered as he picked up the camera.
"…property of …the…Sorceress!" he read aloud, squinting to see the small words printed on the side.
"Can't hurt to look…"
"…ha! Ripto in Bunny slippers! Well…he's gonna get what he deserves for trapping me and Elora in that Chateau!"
As Spyro walked out of the Lair and into the dark night, he muttered something that sounded suspiciously like, "…Internet, here I come…"
The End
I hope you enjoyed reading the story, it was very fun to write and was also my very first. So that's probably why it's not the greatest, in terms of plot, grammar, among other things. But I think it's cute :) and I really hope you liked it! I recently went back and updated the chapters, fixed some spelling, things like that, so it's better than it was. Nonetheless, when I published this I promised an epilogue but never added one, sadly. But here it is. Hooray!
Epilogue
Ripto- Yes, Ripto did finally get a cookie. Crush made them, and Ripto got poisoned and spent two full years of his life in the hospital, looking for a cure. He stayed cooped up in his Chateau for quite some time afterwards, due to an embarrassing scandal that surfaced after that little "internet" incident with the bunny slippers…He and Spyro continued to have many battles after this, only one of which he won. If you happen to count breaking into Spyro's house in the middle of the day and clubbing the Dragon on the head with a Scepter and making him go into a coma as a battle, then yes…he won one battle.
Spyro- He married Elora and became vice president of the Forgotten Worlds. Aside from the minor coma he had later in life, he lived on to be a healthy Dragon.
Elora- She settled down and got married to Spyro, and later became president of Avalar.
The Sorceress-After the battle, the spell still wasn't over. The Ruler of Avalar and the Forgotten Worlds, condemned her to work for the rest of eternity at "The Boulder Farm." She also had to pay a 100,000 gem fine as penalty for combining three spells. The catch was that all the money went to Ripto, since it was his book. She also had to pay for all the damage she did to the realms.
Scorch- He took over the Fairy Worlds by force, and is now their dictator. He also owns a cookie factory.
Buzz- He works at Starbucks.
Gulp- He got married and had 5 children.
Crush- He became President of the Forgotten Worlds. Amazing.
