CHAPTER 5: DRAGON ON THE LOOSE
Sly, Bentley, and Murray were positioned on top of a cliff on a floating island in Skylands nearby the Ruins.
"Bentley, do you know if that Spyro guy is down there?" Sly asked him.
Bentley was looking down at the Ruins through a pair of binoculars. In the Ruins there were several strange looking creatures, from elves to walking trees and several different kinds of dragons.
"Not quite sure. According to what Ripto told us, Spyro is a purple dragon, and although there are quite a lot of them down there, I can't find a purple one." He explained.
"Let me have a look." Sly said to him.
Bentley then handed him the binoculars. He then proceeded to survey the area,
"He's right, I can't quite see any purple dragons....Wait! There's one right over there, by the hill!" Sly pointed out.
He then proceeded to take several photos of the dragon . He then showed the pictures to Bentley and Murray.
"Hm.....I'm no genius, Sly, but Spyro sounds a lot like a guy's name." Murray said, pointing out the feminine features of the dragon.
"It might be the wrong target, I'll email them to Ripto, see if she's the right one." Bentley explained.
"What makes you so sire he even has email?" Sly asked.
"Don't be stupid Sly everyone has email!" he reassured him.
---------------------------------
Ripto was relaxing on his throne, feeling positive that Sly and his friends would capture Spyro.
Just then an awful, ear-piercing noise was coming from somewhere.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE SOUND?!" Ripto screamed in agony.
He turned around, only to find his fax machine printing out images, along with some writing.
"Who even uses fax anymore?!" he asked himself.
He proceeded to pick up the pictures and started to read the writing.
We've got images of who we believe is the so called Spyro. If not, please return this message along with a picture of Spyro.
Thank you, Bentley
"No no no! They got the wrong dragon! Although maybe Maelfor might be interested in her. I'll send him a message later." Ripto said to himself.
He then proceeded to find a picture of Spyro and sent it back to Bentley.
--------------------------------
AN HOUR LATER...
Everyone was still on the cliff, waiting for a reply from Ripto, but almost all the strange creatures, including the dragon, had left.
"Hey guys, Ripto replyed to my message, with pictures of the target." Bentley explained.
"Okay, so now we got an image of the target, we just have to wait." Sly said.
TWO MONTHS LATER...
"WHEN IS THIS GUY SHOWING UP?!" Murray exclaimed, being bored having done nothing the past two months.
"I don't know! It's not my fault, maybe the writer got bored or something." Sly explained.
"What?" Murray asked
Suddenly a purple dragon matching the description, along with a anthropomorphic fish and a ferret looking creature carrying two golden pistols showed up
"Never mind that, I think that's our target!" Bentley interrupted.
"Let me see." Sly said, taking the binoculars.
As he peered through the binoculars, he could see the three creatures talking together.
"Man we sure owned Kaos this time!" the dragon said to the other two.
"Damn right we did!" The fish said.
"Okay, I think I'm going to go rest. You two can go hang out with the giants and the others." the dragon said to both of them.
"Okay, see you tomorrow Spyro!" the ferret said.
Him and the fish started to walk away.
"Wait a minute," Sly said, " that ferret called the dragon Spyro; that's the target!"
"Alright, we'll follow him into that cave. When he's not looking, Murray, you grab him form behind, and then you knock him out, Sly." Bentley explained.
"Got it." the other two said.
-----------------------------------
Spyro was walking through a cave, the other three were quietly following him from behind. Bentley and Murray peeked out from behind a rock.
"Okay Murray, go get him!" he said.
Quietly, he started walking up behind Spyro. Once he got close enough to him, he grabbed Spyro and caught him in a bear hug.
"Let me go!" he said, trying to escape Murray's grasp.
Sly and Bentley then emerged from their hiding spot and approached Spyro.
"Not until you answer some questions first." Sly said.
He then proceeded to hit Spyro on the head with his cane, knocking him out.
"Bentley, you still got that fire-proof rope?" he asked him.
-----------------------------------
Spyro woke up, tied in rope, with Sly, Bentley, and Murray standing over him. A lie detector was also strapped onto him, with a white helmet and blue flshing light on top.
"Before you even try to burn or cut your way out of that rope, let me remind you that that is grade-A kidnapping rope, built to withstand any kind of damage you could deal to it, wherther it be with fire or your claws." Sly said to Spyro.
"What do you want from me?" Spyro asked.
"Well aren't you nice to ask. We've been told by the wizard Ripto that you've been stealing valuable energy crystals from him, so pay up bub!" Sly retorted.
"You've got to be kidding me, that idiot actually tricked you into thinking he's the good guy?"
"Hey, don't call us idiots!" Murray threatened.
"Hang on Murray, how do we know your telling the truth?"
ONE EXPLANATION LATER...
"His story seems legit Sly, and the lie detector checks him out. Maybe he is right." Bentley said.
"Of course I am. The only thing I've stolen from him were all the treasures he's stolen from MY people!" Spyro explained.
"Hang on a sec guys, I think we need to talk about this one." Sly said.
The three of them huddled up.
"Okay, sure the lie detector said he was telling him the truth, but how do we know he wasn't using some sort of magic to mess with it?" Sly asked.
"He's got a point there Bentley" Murray agreed.
"You're right, maybe he did use magic or something." Bentley replied.
"Look, I could care less about who the bad guy is here, how about if we ask him if he'll pay us double than that Ripto guy, we let him go?" Sly asked.
"Fine with me." Murray said.
"Me too." Bentley added.
The three of them then broke out of their huddle.
"Alright Spyro, I suppose we could let you go, but only if...."
When they turned around, they saw Spyro gone, and a boy with spiky red hair running away from them, with Spyro in a high tech butterfly net.
"Hey, get back here with our bounty!" Sly yelled at the thief before he proceeded to chase him.
Bentley and Murray stood there, unsure of what to do.
"I guess we should follow him then right?" Bentley asked.
"Do we have any other choice?" Murray replied.
