Yesturday, Spyro was sure that he was going to win the bet, but today... he had second thoughts. Was he actually afraid? And if he was, what was he afraid of? It was just a portal after all. But Spyro remembered that he promised himself he would discover the secret. What he needed was to find out more about this portal. What he needed was a professional.
"BIANCAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
"WHAT?!" Bianca yelled at Spyro, who was... right next to her... Spyro was now at Bianca's house. He smiled and said, "I need a book."
"A book?"
"Yes, a book. About portals!"
Bianca rubbed the back of her head and answered, "Well, I dunno if I have a book about portals." She turned to her library. It was crammed with books... "So many books, so little space..." She muttered under her breath. She went over to the shelves, and started pulling out random books. "Sparx! Have you seen a big brown book with a diamond on the front?!" She yelled. Sparx came flying in the room. "Big brown book. Big brown book. Big brown..." He said to himslef. "Wait! I've seen... wait... no... never mind..." Spyro looked doughtful. No book. No portal. Then a little light bulb magically appeared over Sparx head, and it lit up with a ping. "Ohhhhhh! The BOOK. Now I remember! I was playing fetch with it with the dog." Sparx remembered. Bianca raised an eyebrow. "We don't have a do-"
"Here it is!" Sparx inturrupted, handing the book over. It was covered in slobber. Bianca took the book by a corner. "Gee... thanks..." She said sarcasticlly.
Spyro flipped through the book, searching for any information on portals. There was, but all of them were about those basic small ones. The abandoned one was much larger and had this sort of orb at the top of it. Probably there for power. "So, what exactly are you looking for?" Sparx asked. Spyro sighed and dropped his head on the table, and answered, "I'm not even sure anymore." Then just when he was about to give up and go home, the wind blew the pages to the side, revealing a missing torn page. Spyro looked at Bianca who just gave a blank look. "You don't think that missing torn page could be what I'm loooking for? Could it?" Spyro asked, but again Bianca had no answer.
"Why do you care about portals anyway?" Asked Bianca. Realizing that Spyro forgot to tell her, he decided to tell her everything. About the dare, the portal, and most inportantly... how LONG her house in away from the Dojo! Jeez! Bianca frowned, and shut the brown book right in Spyro's face. "I won't let you! I won't let you risk your reputation. You know what the heck can happen if you got caught?!" She yelled, but Spyro didn't answer. He didn't want to... "No. You are not going! And that's final!" Bianca looked around the room. "Where'd they go...?"
"Oh poop! It's 8:00 pm! We're going to be late!" Spyro cried to Sparx as they ran. "I just hope Flame didn't..." He didn't have the time to finish, because he was shocked from the large crowd that was around the fence that surrounded the portal. Charactorians, this planet is Charactoria so the "people" are called Charactorians, well anyway, they were all over Flame. "Are you really climbing the fence?" Some dragon girl asked Flame excitedly, clutching her paws together. "You are sooo brave!" She giggled. Flame smiled proudly as some other fan girls "Woo!" over him. Spyro pushed threw the crowd, and yelled at Flame, "What did you DO?!" Flame laughed sheepishly. "Don't worry, man. The watchman isn't on duty today!"
"And Tomas?"
"Doesn't suspect a thing! Seeee? I think!"
Spyro rolled his eyes. Climbing the fence is one thing. Doing it in front of a crowd... now THAT is just pressure!
"So? Are you ready?" Flame challanged. Spyro looked at the crowd, and back to him. "I'm ready." He put his claws through the chain fence, and started climbing. He stopped at the top and looked down at Flame. "Are YOU coming up or what?" Flame took a breath in and took a step forward. But before he even put his paws on the fence, someone cried, "STOP!!!" in the crowd. It was Bianca, who was followed by Tomas, the watchman, Spyro's sister Starlight, and Ember. "Spyro, don't do it!" Ember pleaded. "Young man! You are trespassing! Get down here at once!" The watchman commanded. "Spyro, if you go to that portal, you are in trouble mister!" Starlight warned. Sparx looked worried. "Maybe we shouldn't do it, Spyro." But Spyro ignored him. And then Tomas stepped forward. "Master Spyro, do not do it! You are indangering us all"
"Then tell me what's behind the portal!!" Spyro demanded. Tomas sighed and answered quietly, "I... can't..." Spyro frowned, and jumped off the other side.
"SPYRO!" Tomas yelled. Photographers took pictures like crazy as Spyro and Sparx ran to the portal. Behind them were the warnings and yells of all their friends and family. Spyro was tired when he reached the portal, and realized it was HUGE up close! Spyro took two steps back, and looked dissapointed. The portal wasn't working, the orb at the top was cracked and was burned out... He started a scene for nothing! If he went back, then he surely be in trouble! Frustrated, Spyro kicked the side of the portal. And just then, the orb started flickering on! Sooner or later, the portal was successfully activated! Sparx looked at Spyro. "Do you really want to do this?" He asked. Spyro looked at the portal, and smiled. "Yes I do." Then, they stepped in...
"Where is Spyro and Sparx going?" Ember asked worridly. Bianca took a folded peice of paper from her pocket. "Ember, I could have warned him. He's entering another glalaxy right now! Somewhere unknown!" She sighed. "I guess I was too late..." She crumbled the piece of paper and threw it on the ground. As Bianca left, Ember picked the paper up. "What's this, Bianca?"
"It's not inportant anymore!"
Ember looked at the paper, and unfolded it. It was the missing piece from the brown book...
A/N: WOW! I'm tired... Next chapter coming soon...
