"I'm Spyro and this is Cynder," Spyro said.

Cynder glanced over at the cowering great dane. "What's interesting?"

Nick22 · **Reply #1401 on:** February 04, 2009, 08:37:50 PM

"Interesting.. A Great leader inside of a coward's body" Tarrax replied.
_
Ri'm rot ra roward" Scooby Protested weakly.
_
Your fear of me says otherwise. I can smell fear, I can smell cowardice, and many other things as well." Tarrax replied matter-of factly.

Drake · **Reply #1402 on:** February 04, 2009, 08:45:09 PM

"What makes you say Scooby is a leader?" Cynder asked skeptically. "I really doubt it's because of his smell."

"Scooby's not a coward," Spyro argued. "He's helped us out of a few tough situations."

Nick22 · **Reply #1403 on:** February 04, 2009, 08:49:26 PM

'My Cousin is not a coward." Dixie said strongly. 'And as for his leadership abilities, Well I haven't really seen much there.." She admitted.
_
Well then, if he is not a leader, then why is he wearing that ring?' Tarrax pointed a huge claw at the ring on Scooby's paw. "Who gave you those rings, anyway?"

Drake · **Reply #1404 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:08:57 PM

"A squirrel magician named Stripetail," Cynder replied. "Does the name mean anything to you?"

Nick22 · **Reply #1405 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:11:49 PM

At the Mention of Stripetail's name Tarrax gave them a second look. "You've met my master? "
_
Stripetail's your master?" Dixie said. "Yes, "tarrax nodded. "He must have seen something in you four to give you those rings, they are immensely powerful, and in the wrong hands could wreck havoc on the worlds.."

(OOC: I guess everyone's gone to the cafe? )

Nick22 · **Reply #1407 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:33:42 PM

(Not everyone. Ali and Ducky are asking if the tourist wants to join them for breakfast)
Tarrax nodded. "Well, i think you 4 best get going.. It was nice meeting you.. but don't come in that way.. ever again.."

Drake · **Reply #1408 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:34:17 PM

"Okay," Cynder said, making a hasty retreat towards the door. Spyro followed her.

Nick22 · **Reply #1409 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:37:51 PM

"Cpome on Scooby" Dixie said, half dragging her cousin out though the door, the last image they saw was aof Tarrax moving his huge clkaws in a geasture.
_
In a twinkling, they stood in the middle of the kitchen in front of Nick. "How did we get here.?' Dixie wondered as Atripetailcame up to them. "So where did you guys sleep?' he asked.

Drake · **Reply #1410 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:46:00 PM

"Well, the tourist was kind enough to provide us a place to sleep," Cynder replied with an amused smirk. "It was this big extravagent room, looked fit for a king. It also had a hottub."

"Welcome back," Nago said to the four of them. "Sounds like you got the best place to sleep of us all."

"You haven't seen any of the rooms in Castle Doran," Wataru said to Nago.

Nick22 · **Reply #1411 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:49:31 PM

There was also this giant dragon there that nearly made Scooby wet himself "Dixie said.
_
A Giant Dragon? What was his name?' Stripetail said, giving them both a loook.
_
His name was Tarrax.. or something like that' Dixie replied.
_
So, you were in MY house?" Stripetail said, a little taken aback. "Fascinating... I take it Tarrax wasn't too pleased to see the 4 of you in there.."

Drake · **Reply #1412 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:09:48 PM

"No, he wasn't," Spyro said. "I was afraid we would have to fight him."

"He recognized the rings you gave us," Cynder spoke up. "He even said something about Scooby's ring making him a leader or something..."

"Having a certain power does not necessarily make one a good leader," Nago said, briefly entering the conversation.

Taiga looked thoughtful at Nago's comment. He glanced down at his glove-covered left hand.

Nick22 · **Reply #1413 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:14:30 PM

Leadership abilities can often lie dormant inside, then rise to the surface in times of crisis. I Do not just give out power to just anyone" stripetail said firmly. "If Tarrax thinks Scooby can be a leader, then Scooby can be a leader. But he needs experience, and a great dose of self-confidence" He said looking at Scooby with a glance. "Tarrax is a terrible foe, trying to fight him, would have been a big mistake, even with your rings.." He said to them..

The tourist smiled, "I'd like to, but there's something I must see to first, but I may take you up on your offer in your near future." He said. He went over to the console. Jolee had whispered about something not feeling right about the tardis, some disturbance in the force & he had to admit he had felt something but he wasn't as sensitive to certain things as Jolee was and he didn't want to get the guests worried. He flicked a few switches and seeing the readout kept his features controlled, it was as bad as Jolee felt. He looked up, "You kids have a great breakfast. As I mentioned I may take you up in the offer in the near future, thanks though." He said to Ali. He then put his hands on the telepathic circuits area of the console and sent off a message to Gallifrey.

"Yeah, he didn't look like someone you would want to mess with," Cynder agreed. She hopped up onto the counter and leaned over the stove to see what Nick was cooking.

Nago glanced over at Scooby, seeming to size him up. Taiga and Wataru soon followed his gaze to the dog.

Nick22 · **Reply #1416 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:39:32 PM

So anyway, We have a little challenge going on today, between the boys and the girls.." Dixie began, and Nick pulled out a basket of fish.. Cynder's mouth began to water, Dixie had not been kidding the previous night when she had said Cynder was really hungry.
_
Yes?" Stripretail said.. "We'd like you to judge it. Its a 3 challenge bet, best of 3..First challenge, food eating contest. then a Shurlup killing contest, and finally, who can put up with Sparx the longest" Dixie said..

Drake · **Reply #1417 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:49:27 PM

"You're not interested in having a panel of judges?" Nago wondered.

"If I take part in your little event do I get excused for my previous behavior?" Sparx asked.

"No," Cynder growled at him, briefly looking away from the fish. "You have to do everythng we tell you to anyway, so it's not like you can refuse to participate."

She used the tip of her tail to spear one of the fishes and lift it up to her mouth, chewing on it in spite of the fact that it was still red hot. Sparx looked downcast.

Nick22 · **Reply #1418 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:51:45 PM

"Well, I think I'll add two more to make a total ogf 5. Event #4, will be a song/dance challenge, and #5 will be a knowledge challenge. And Nago and Nick will be my Co-Judges" Stripetail said.

Drake · **Reply #1419 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:55:47 PM

"Sounds good," Spyro said.

"Mm-hmm," Cynder agreed through her mouthful of fish.
