chapter 8: You Little Fools!

'In Winter Tundra...'

Elora, Hunter, and the Professor were at work on the Superportal, hoping to access Dragon Shores from there.

"I think I've finally come up with a way to access the Dragon Worlds form the Superportal!" he said, motioning to a big red crystal in the middle bit of the top of the portal. "This power crystal should give us the extra boost that we need. Just a few more calculations to set it up..." He paused impressively as he did some research. "I think I have it! Excellent! Everything is finally ready! We're going to need a lot more orbs, but with the power crystal boosting it, the superportal should work again!"

Unfortunately, the Professor had celebrated too soon; for at that moment, a bomb rolled in out of nowhere, at his feet. Then suddenly, with the most tremendous BANG, it knocked him, Elora and Hunter over, and blasted all the orbs and the power crystal off the superportal! It turned out Ripto and Magnifico were the ones with the bomb, and they weren't down yet!

"So, you thought you had gotten rid of us!" Ripto said. "Well, I'm afraid not!"

"You got that right!" Magnifico said, wielding an unlit bomb. "We persuaded that fat bear Moneybags to sell us a few bombs!"

Elora saw the power crystal. "Quick, the power crystal!" She whispered. The Professor attempted to grab the power crystal, but Magnifico stopped him. "Oh, no, you don't."

"Don't even try it, book boy, or you'll be the world's smartest pile of ashes." Ripto threatened.

Then, that mean sneaky Ripto grabbed the power crystal! "This is just what I need for a new sceptre!" he declared.

"Hunter, do something! Quick!" Elora said.

"Errr, hey! Give that back!" Hunter yelled at Ripto - Who just promptly ran up the stairs to the Winter Tundra castle, followed by Magnifico. Elora glared at Hunter for his stupid plan. "Well, I tried!" Hunter said innocently.

Ripto laughed evilly. "You little fools! After we destroy you all with my new sceptre, I'm going to rename this place 'Ripto-Magnificia'!" he said, then he laughed evilly, as he raced into the castle.

"Not even your pathetic lizard friend will save you now!" Magnifico called as he ran after Ripto.

This was a disaster! Without the Power Crystal, the superportal wouldn't be able to reach the Dragon World! Elora, Hunter, and the Professor could only watch as Moneybags was thrown out, and, like Summer Forest and Autumn Plains before it, the Avalar banners were replaced by Ripto banners!

Ripto and Magnifico were soon gonna be very sorry they messed with Spyro the Dragon!
