Yes It does All you have to do is say 'time'. and the hour will appear on your ring  " Stripetail said. " He gestured, and Scooby's ring glowed , showing the time. "Here, it is 6:37 p.m"He said, glancing at the ring.Scooby looked at it, and it flipped to 6:38 "Ris Rhere ranything rhis ring rant ro?"

It won't improve your golf swing" stripetail cracked.

Dixie spoke into her ring "Guys, we need help here!" She said, as the Cobra-head approached.

Both Scooby's and spyro's rings glowed light brown. "it's Rixie" scooby said, breaking into a run.

Dixie's ring glowed as the cobra-head climbed through the broken windw. Bart Tossed the Suit on the floor as he moved backward. "Save me, and the suit is free!" he said, panicking as the menacing Cobrahead moved closer and closer.

"Stupid fangire," Kivat muttered from his perch on Wataru's belt.

Wataru groaned and pushed himself back to his feet. He raised his fists and waited for the fangire's next move.

"Armor up," Cynder said, the armor materializing form her ring. She hoped her makeover wouldn't be ruined before she even had a chance to show Spyro.

Seeing more opponents caused the creature to hesitate, but then he sprayed a white foam-like liquid from his mouth, aiming for Cynder. The black dragon gasped, freezing for a moment to long as the liquid flew towards her.

Dixie activated her armor, and focused "Fire!" She intoned and a fireball shot out her ring. it met the foam in midair and set it alight. the foam burned up iinches from Cynder's face. The Cobra face turned to look at Dixie, who cast another Fireball, but missed it by inches.

The cobra fangire leapt back from the fireball and Wataru jumped forward, driving a fist into its head. It stumbled back, but Wataru kept after it, landing blow after blow. The monster managed to grab his wrist and land a kick, before spinning about and letting go, sending his opponent stumbling.

Cynder leapt at the cobra with a feral roar, performing a front flip and slashing her poison covered tail tip through the fangire's shoulder. It growled and turned to retreat.

The Cobra-head's retreat was Cut off By Stripetail, Scooby and Spyro, who had come running at Dixie's call. Stripetail pointed his staff at the Cobra-head "Francia instantum."a beam of ice raced out of his staff, and hit the cobra-face straight in the gut. Within seconds it was frozen solid.

Wataru jumped to his feet as he saw the frozen fangire. He grabbed the red fuestle from his belt and placed it into Kivat's mouth.

"Wake up!" The bat exclaimed unhooking from the belt and fluttering around, the fuestle's melody playing as darkness descend on the sky and a large crescent moon appeared.

The chains on Wataru's right leg broke off and the wings spread open. He leapt forward and slammed his foot into the fangire. The ice on its body shattered and it went flying backwards. It landed on the floor and became a glowing multi-colored silohuette which shattered apart into little shards of glass. The chunks of ice that had been knocked off him meanwhile somehow landed on the floor in the shape of a bat-like symbol.

Wataru sighed. "Thanks. That one was tough."

"Thanks guys" Dixie said. 'now if you could give us a few minutes,  we'll finish up here and give you guys your gifts'; dixie said. "Just give us Five minutes"
_
Bart looked at Stripetail in awe. "You're like one of the mages from Dungeons and Dragons!"
_
What exactkly is that?' Stripetail queried, AS Scooby and Spyo left the store.

Deimos caught the bandolier and slung it across his shoulder. He quickly paused to load his rifle. "The control room is under attack."

Dr. Zanasiu and Strut were loading their shotguns.

Deimos heard the sound of gunfire. "We're almost there. Just one more floor." he said, looking at a large sign labeled "Floor 6".

'Great. If its not one thing, its another. How many Purity of Life Guys are there?' Nick grumbled, as he climbed the stairs, Stitch hanging by his clawtips from his shoulder. "Mesa not wanna get shot again" He said to Nick. "We're going to get shot at, Stitch, lets just hope they miss us." Angel continued to climb right behind them.

Dixie helped take the helmet off of Cynder "Alright let's see what the damage is... " She peered at Cynder's face. "Everything looks fine.. No problems that I can see." She gave Cynder the helmet back,  turned and picked up the suit off the floor, meanwhile Bart was revealing his inner geek to Stripetail, explaining Dungeons and Dragons to him, at length, and explaining why an Elf was better than a Mage. Dixie showed him the suit.
_
It's on the house' bart said excitedly. "Man, I've longed to talk for YEARS in this much detail about D&D.."
_ How would you like to work for me, bart? You certainly have a very vivid imagination. As for pay, you'll be compensated very very handsomely, enough so you can finally move out of your mother's basement" Stripetail cracked.Bart shot him a look. "What would I have to do?" "Anything I ask.." bart frowned.

Spyro went over to examine a nearby store, while Cynder followed Dixie. She placed the helmet back on after Dixie had announced the make-up was okay.

Wataru meanwhile watched the glowing ball that rose from the cobra fangire's shattered remains. He had no idea what happened to a fangire soul that wasn't destroyed, but he wasn't sure he wanted to find out.

Kivat flew over to him, the wake up fuestle floating back to its place on the belt, while Wataru grabbed another fuestle. He placed it in Kivat's mouth.

"Castle Doran!" Kivat shouted. After a moment, nothing happened, just like when they'd tried summoning the Bashaa magnum.

"You should know up front that we're heading back to someplace rather dangerous," Cyner warned Bart.

Hey, I'll go anywhere as long as it pays good. This place barely covers the rent, and my boss isn't exactly the nicest person..' Bart replied.
_
As long as you do your job well, The pay and benefits will be substantial. ' stripetail said.  Bart went over another person who had come in. "My shift ends in 5 minutes anyway, I've been here since 6 a.m, so I'll accompany you guys..
_
Dixie took the suit ana turned to the newcomer, whose name was Richard. "We can wraopp that for you" He saw. "So, Bart, you're finally quitting this place, huh. '
_ just put in my two weeks for me, I'm going.. er.. on vacation.."Bart said evasively. Richard shrugged, ans he folded the suit put it in a box, and wrapped it in paper, with pictures of airplanes it. "KInda lame, but its a flying thing" Richard smiled at Dixie, who swiped her credir catd,  signed her name on the printout, which Richard put into the boc, in an unwrapped corner. he tidied everthing up and Handed it To Dixie. 'There you go Mam. Bart, take lots of Pictures.."
_
Dixie, a smile on her, faced, Tucked the Package under her arm, and headed out, followed by Stripetail, Bart and Cynder.

"All right," Cynder said hopping out through the broken store window, glanced over at Spyro. She wondered where her present was since he wasn't carrying any bags, or anything of the sort.

Wataru sighed as the fangire soul floated away. His armor turned grey and shrunk into his skin.

Wataru shot one last look at the fleeing ball of light before he and Kivat walked over to the rest of them.

Cynder glanced around. "Nick and the natives are missing."

"I guess we should go find them," Spyro said.

Scooby nodded and took off towards the stairwell.

"First Let me Shrink those for you" Stripetail said. "Minimus" The spell took but a second and two small dresses, a tiny suit, and small box stood on the ground before them. "Tap your right wrist" Stripetail Directed "You two Cynder"

As Dixie did as she was told she was anmazed to see the compartment reveal itself. "Just put your dresses and syuit in there. I've already shown the boys.."Stripetail smiled."Cynder you can hide your gift in yours"

Cynder tapped her wrist. The compartment snapping open. He grabbed the small box and carefully stuffed it in.

"Everyone seems to want your armor," Kivat remakred to Stripetail as he and Wataru started after Scooby and Spyro.

"The Kiva suit has been used by the fangire kings for generations," Kivat said with a mishivious smile. Wataru cracked an eye at the bat, a little annoyed with his bragging.

--------

"I suppose we should wait til we get back to the cafe," Spyro said. "Maybe it would be better to wait until the shurlups are dealt with too..."

He really didn't want to wait so long, but he thought it be better to unveil the gifts afterwards. When Malefor had been defeated a massive celebration had taken place. He thought a celebration might be the best time to give a gift.

 Let him brag, I've seen it in action. The Armor is actually dependent on the both of you..My Armor is a bit different...but I can tell what a fine piece of armor looks like, and yours is, Waturu, a fine piece of armor.." Stripetail said.
_
'So when should we show the boys our gifts?' Dixiue whispered to Cynder.
