Merlin frowned. "So you are similar to a vampire then? And I suppose to become a fangire you have to have your energy stolen by one, much as to become a vampire you must be bitten by one..'

Scooby watched the clock, as he ate. 16 minutes had passed..

"I've not heard of those before." Odysseus said thinking on if he had heard of such a being over his long life.

Strut, Rime and their 2 guards arrived at the main nexus where the branching tunnels were located. Shurlup parts and shell casings littered the ground.

"We're here." Strut said, taking off his backpack. "Nick, Wataru keep guard as Rime and I set the charges."

Rime took off his backpack and took out the demo charges. He placed one of the charges at the corner of the nexus and placed another charge in the opposite corner.

Strut placed his charges in the walls of each of the branching tunnels.

"No, it doesn't work like that," Taiga said. "Fangire reproduce the same as any other race might. There are a few races similiar to us, but most have been wiped out."

Sparx's voice suddenly rang out from within the closet in something that a tone deaf person might call singing. "On top of spagetthi all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed!"

Nago groaned and covered his ears as the noise continued. "Make it stop!"

--------------------------

"All right," Wataru replied, watching the tunnels. Kivat flew down the tunnel and hovered over his partner's head.

Dixie covered her ears to make the horrible singing stop.. "My Gawd, Sparx, your singing's ATROCIOUS! I can telll you've never taken lessons.." "I have to put up with this for 20 more minutes?" She thought to herself...

Drake · **Reply #1865 on:** February 14, 2009, 02:49:16 AM

"Yes, you do," Sparx said in a sing-song voice. "What should it be next? I'll take requests if you want." He raised his voice towards the end so that the others outside could hear his suggestion.

Nick22 · **Reply #1866 on:** February 14, 2009, 02:53:31 AM

"How about "Dream Weaver"? Dixie asked. "Or do you not know that song?" Since he;s asking for requests, I might as well humor him" she thought..

Drake · **Reply #1867 on:** February 14, 2009, 02:59:12 AM

"I'm afraid not," Sparx said. "Oh, well."

He proceeded to decimate Dixie's ears with another round of the spagetthi song.

"Quick, someone suggest something else for him to sing," Nago begged.

Hoew about "Stop, or the pissed off Wizard will sew his lips Shut!" Merlin said, "I've heard some bad singing in my day, but you mmay very well be the worst singer I've ever heard, and I go back over a thousand years!"

Drake · **Reply #1869 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:08:17 AM

"Hey, that's against the rules!" Sparx exclaimed.

"Rules are made to be broken," Taiga said.

Brooklyn put his hands over his ears, his senses being more sensitive then a human's. He looked over at the Tourist.

"Reminds me of the Argo days. Some of those guys were bad singers too, especially when they had drink a bit. Though oddly Heracles was pretty descent even with no training. I guess from his being a half god."

"I don't suppose you have a spell or anything to help in this case?" Brooklyn asked looking at the Tourist.

The Tourist shook his head, "My knowledge of dragon magic is not that far along, "he said as he reached into a pocket with a hand, "but these will help, they are electronic earplugs and will block out some annoying sounds." He reached into another pocket with his other hand, "here is their remote control to tune them." He said as he offered them to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn wasn't sure about using strange tech, but the Tourist did help him before in their experiences together so he had learned to trust him. He put in the earplugs and started to fiddle with the remote control, glad it seemed to have simple controls.

"Ah, better." Brooklyn said after he had gotten the controls close to where he was.

"You should hear Mo sing, it is far worst, it is, it is." Ducky said.

"Me remember." Petrie said, recalling their trip to help Mo get back to the big water.

Drake · **Reply #1871 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:16:34 AM

"Do you have any more of those earplugs?" Nago asked.

"Why?" Sparx asked, sounding offended. "My singing isn't that bad."

"Yes, it is," Taiga growled.

Kor · **Reply #1872 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:28:18 AM

The tourist reached into his pockets and pulled out some more electronic earplugs with a remote control and offered them around.

"I've found it is handy to have extras of things around, and having pockets bigger on the inside then the outside simplifies matters." The tourist said as he offered them around.

Drake · **Reply #1873 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:34:29 AM

"I guess you're the only one who'll have the privilage of listening to me," Sparx smirked at Dixie.

Taiga and Nago placed the earplugs in and fiddled with the control until Sparx's banshee-like voice was no longer so dangerous to their ears.

"Thank you," Nago sighed.

Stripetail gestured and produced a number of earmuffs. Shaggy took one and slid them over his ears. "Man that feels much better" Shaggy said approvingly.

ressh! Rand Ri rhough RI ras ra rad ringer" Scooby tweaked his nose.
Sparx's 'singing' was loud enough to reach into the room where Cynder and Spyro were....

"I'd rather hear gunfire than that noise!" Deimos shouted.

Strut had placed his last demolition charge. "Hey Rime! We've got to wire the charges together."

"Not yet." Rime said. "I've got to place my last charge." He then placed the charge at the surface entrance of the nexus.

Rime then turned to Strut. "I've got the last charge."

"Good! Start wiring the charges together. We'll connect them to the detonator at the surface." Strut said. He was wiring some demolition charges.

Nick22 · **Reply #1876 on:** February 14, 2009, 10:15:14 AM

Take a pair of earmuffs" stripetail said, placing a pair over his ears. Sparx's singing was the worst he had heard in centuries, and that was saying something..

Kor · **Reply #1877 on:** February 14, 2009, 11:55:52 AM

"Has he had training to be that bad?" The Tourist asked glad that he had his earplugs in.

Ducky, Petrie, & Snoopy fiddled with their remote controls. "That is better, it is it is."

"I've not heard singing this bad in a long time." Odysseus said. "I think it would protect one from the sirens, or perhaps even drive them away." He said as he fiddled with the remote control. "This is far better then using wax."

Drake · **Reply #1878 on:** February 14, 2009, 01:11:21 PM

Spyro and Cynder were about to head back downstairs, but the two stopped and cringed as they heard Sparx's singing. They galloped down the stairs anyway.

"I didn't know he was that bad," Cynder said as they entered the room.

Spyro covered his ears. "I think he's trying extra hard to make it sound bad."

-------------------------------

"Heshin!"

Wataru looked up at the voice to see a man approaching them from the far end of the cavern. He had just perched a white and blue Kivat on the belt he wore and a white holographic snowflake appeared in front of him shattering apart and forming his armor. The armor was colored white. Two massive claw shaped shoulder pads hung over his shoulders. Chains wrapped around his wrists to his elbow.

"Shiramine..." Wataru gasped. He was stunned for a moment before he reached up and grabbed Kivat, letting the bat bite his hand and his belt appearing around his waist. He perched Kivat on the belt. "Henshin."

His skin turned grey and metallic, before shattering and revealing the red, black, and silver Kiva armor. The yellow lenses of his mask lit up.

"Hurry and finishing setting the charges!" Wataru said, jumping over top of the two to reach the other rider faster. The white rider caught Wataru in the face with his fist.

Serris · **Reply #1879 on:** February 14, 2009, 01:37:15 PM

"We're done!" Strut shouted, wiring the last charge.

Rime readied his rifle and took aim at the rider attacking Wataru. "Leave him alone or I shoot!"
