Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone Chapter Four : The Daring within

"You thought you could evade me and capture the relic for yourself, but you were sadly mistaken, Miss Do... And now, you shall meet your doom!" Ahuizotle said. His voice sounded like he was gargling marbles, or for a better reference, he sounded like that new Batmare, from Batmare Rises.

He took out a small whistle in the shape of a cat, and blew on the tail. Out of the mouth of the whistle came the sound a cat makes when it just got stepped on, and suddenly, the big cats from earlier (minus the small one) jumped out from the bushes, this time holding ropes and weapons.

And then the small one came out from behind the tiger's leg (oh, there it is!) and rubbed itself up against the tiger purring as Ahuizotle started doing the evil villain's evil laugh and holding up the Stone. He did have a very good evil laugh. Must have been practicing.



Daring Do was tied up on a table in another little temple, surrounded by five cats and a jackal.

"You won't get away with this, Ahuizotle!" she said defiantly.

"Oh, but I already have," he purred, before walking over to a lever in the wall and pulling it. Suddenly the cieling started collapsing around her for the second time that day. Dang. Luck is not one of Daring's finer points.

"Aaauuugh! Not again!" she huffed. Ahuizotle waved at Daring and ran out of the room, followed by his cats. Then spikes shot out of the walls on either side of her and started moving towards her.

Then spiders scuttled out of the holes where the spikes were, snakes slithered from a hole in another wall, and then quicksand started pouring into the room! As I said, luck was not one of Daring Do's finer points.

"Quicksand!" Daring said and started struggling against her bonds.

"HURGH!" She grunted with the effort of struggling.

"It feels like the harder I struggle, the tighter the ropes get!" Her position was getting worse and worse, and Daring's hat fell onto her lap. Suddenly, looking at her hat, and then at the lever, and then at her hat, Daring got an idea. She pulled the hat back using her back hoof and mouth, and released it, where it started ping-ponging against the walls.

The quicksand reached above Daring's head and she had to hold her breath when the hat reached its final destination: the lever. It hit the bottom of the lever, causing the lever to swing upwards and the trap to work in reverse, sucking back up the quicksand and pulling back the walls. Daring broke out of her bonds and put her hat back on.

"Another day, another dungeon," she said as she straightned her hat.

Back outside, Ahuizotle was stroking the white housecat and chuckling.

"With Daring Do out of the way," he said whilst admiring the Sapphire Stone he was holding in his tail, "the world will suffer my duty at my hands. I AM VICTORIOUS! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He had his eyes shut while he was laughing, which was a mistake, because suddenly Daring Do swept from the sky in a grayscale streak and snatched the Sapphire Stone right from Ahuizotle's tail-hand.

"I'll take that!" she yelled she was swinging on a vine away from the scene.

Landing on a cliff, she taunted, "Better luck next time, Ahuizotle!" and put the Stone in her saddlebag. Not her hat.

"CURSE YOU DARING DO! AHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!" And when he made the laughing noise this time, it wasn't a laugh. Daring Do ran away from the cliff and away from the recent adventure she had hoped for when she was young.

And so, with Ahuizotle defeated and the Sapphire Stone secured, the world was safe and sound once again... Thanks to Daring Do!


The End.
