Rage: Rebellion in Metropolis
With the Robot Farmers of Robotica Farms assisted, and their problems taken care of, Spyro, Spike, and Ember returned to Winter Tundra and stepped out to where the Super Portal was located, allowing them to take a moment to do whatever they wanted before they headed into the tunnel that would take them to where the last realm of this homeworld was located, so they could help it and than head to where Ripto was waiting for them. The siblings were honestly surprised that they had reached this point at last, that they had restored order and peace to the majority of Avalar's realms, something that each of them felt had been a long time coming at this rate, and soon they would face the person that was responsible for most of what had happened to the various realms of this land, even if Winter Tundra hadn't been bothered by him. All they had to do now was help out Metropolis, take care of the problems they were facing at the moment, then clear out the Speedway of all the gems and the Orb that was hiding in that area, before they regrouped and headed into the area that their foe was hiding in, to put an end to his rampage at long last. Soon Avalar would be returned to normal, so that Elora, Hunter, the Professor, and everyone else could enjoy the peace that they had been enjoying before Ripto had accidentally been called to this land with Crush and Gulp, though all three of them were ready to take the fight to their foe, even if their foe wasn't ready for them to come and face him.
"So, are you guys ready to take on Metropolis and see what's happening to them at the moment?" Spyro inquired, as he knew what the answer was before Spike and Ember even said anything, because he was ready to bring this adventure to an end and start helping the Professor so he could find a way to send them back to the Dragon Realms, as Nestor and the other Leaders weren't going to believe the tale they had to tell them.
"Indeed we are." Spike replied, where Ember nodded her head for a moment, just to show that she was ready for their venture into the realm in question, to which they readied themselves to head into the tunnel and see what the final realm of Avalar had to throw at them, as he was eager to record their findings for the dragons back home, because this was going to make an interesting story for them to read.
Spyro smiled for a moment before heading into the tunnel that contained the portal that would take them to the last realm they needed to help, Metropolis to be exact, though it only took them a few seconds to head through the portal and see what the realm had to offer them, in what the realm looked like, what the enemies were, and what they needed to do to assist the residents. It only took him and his siblings a few moments to arrive in the starting area for the realm that they were heading to, though as they glanced around the metallic area that they had appeared in they instantly discovered that this realm was going to be futuristic, more so than the majority of the other realms they had taken on so far, and in the zone to their right and behind them rested a futuristic city, confirming their thoughts. Standing nearby, or floating to be exact, was a humanoid creature that didn't have any legs and seemed to be made out of metal, as the arms, chest, and the head sections seemed to be made out of metal, though the metallic business suit told them that the residents of this realm were similar to the residents of Robotica Farms, even if the designs between the two were different. Where the robot's legs would have been located rested some sort of cone shaped object that seemed to be allowing the robot to float in the air, without the risk of falling, though based on what they could see the robot was worried about something, or at least that was another thing they were assuming since it was hard to read a robot's face.
From where they were standing it didn't seem like the realm was in any danger, since there didn't seem to be any foes in the immediate area, so what they did was walk over to where the robot was floating at the moment, since they knew he would tell them what was going on and what they could do to assist him and the other residents of this realm, before they started their trek to where the exit portal was located.
"Spyro, Spike, Ember, it is good that you showed up, as this insurrection from the farms has gotten quite out of hand and we're losing control of the situation." the robot stated, to which the siblings raised their eyebrows for a moment as they heard that, mostly because there didn't seem to be any angry farm animals wandering around the area, but none of them were going to call the robot a liar, since the other one had been telling the truth and they knew that they would find some enemies at some point during their exploration of this realm, "We need someone, or a group of someones, to help us restore order! You three should make your way through this part of the city and find the Inventor Droid, as she has been working on something big, something that might be able to stop this insurrection."
"Don't worry, we'll find the Inventor Droid and help you guys out." Spyro replied, knowing that most of the residents that they encountered, when they first arrived in a realm to assist them with whatever problems they might be facing at the moment, were happy after having confirmation that help had arrived, before he and his siblings moved away from where the Droid was floating and focused on the task at claw.
The first thing they did was pick up the couple of gems that were nearby, giving them a good view of the other part of the city that they couldn't access, before they smashed the pair of metallic vases that were beside the Droid and quickly picked up the gems that had been inside them, which was when they headed into the tunnel that was in front of where they had appeared. That was the moment that Spyro, Spike, and Ember found out that the Droid had been correct in what he told them, that the enemies of this realm were farm animals, as the one that standing on the other side of the tunnel was a bipedal cow that seemed to be wearing a suit of some kind and a bubble-like helmet of some kind, though his weapon was a gun of some kind, one that was different and the others they had seen so far. As they got close to the cow he raised his weapon and fired a beam, a laser beam to be exact, in the area in front of him and moved it side to side, no doubt to keep them from assisting the Droids of this realm, but in that moment Spike noticed that all they had to do was jump and glide over to where the cow was standing. Once they knew what to do Spyro quickly glided over to where their foe was standing and landed behind him, where he used is tail to trip the cow from behind, allowing Ember to glide above him and slam her hardened tail into his exposed chest, knocking the cow out and releasing a Spirit Particle in the process, before they entered the chamber that was in front of them.
It was in that moment that the siblings discovered another Droid floating near an elevator of some kind, where they picked up the four green gems that happened to be resting around the elevator, before heading to where the Droid was waiting for them, as the elevator seemed to be the only way for them to move forward, making them wonder if something had happened to the device in question.
"With all of the budget cuts that we've been experiencing, the elevators need serious work!" the Droid commented, informing the siblings that there was something wrong with the various circular elevators that were scattered throughout this realm, meaning that whatever information the Droid could provide them would be quite helpful as they explored the rest of Metropolis, before the Droid focused on them for a moment, "As you can see, this one is stuck, though I suspect that if one of you were to whack it you would be able to get it working again."
Spyro, Spike, and Ember glanced at each other for a moment, as it seemed strange that a maintenance Droid would think simply whacking an elevator would turn it back on or fix whatever was wrong with it, but that didn't stop them from climbing onto it, which was the moment that Spyro and Spike gave Ember some room as she used the Headbash on the elevator and caused it to shudder for a few seconds, only to sink into the floor as it headed down towards the other room that it was connected to. When the elevator came to a stop in the small room that it brought them to, and allowed them to get off it without having to worry about it leaving on them, the siblings spotted a small tunnel that lead to the next area they needed to explore, where they found a pig that happened to have a decent sized missile strapped to its back, or maybe it was a rocket due to the fact that it was larger than the missiles they had seen in the past. Before any of them even moved towards the tunnel they picked up the four gems that were around where the elevator came to a stop, where all of them were yellow colored, before they focused on the tunnel, where the pig ignited its rocket and raced towards the area that they were standing in, but in the seconds before it could hit them Spike snapped up a barrier and let the pig hit it, protecting himself and his siblings from the explosion that followed. Once that was done he lowered the barrier and picked up the three gems that were to their right as Spyro and Ember knocked the next cow onto its back and quickly knocked it out, allowing them to move a little before they spotted a bipedal cow, without any armor on and happened to be holding a shield in one hand, blocking the way forward.
Instead of attacking the cow instantly, like they did to all of the other enemies they had seen so far, the siblings took a few steps back and made sure they were out of the cow's sight, as he looked ready to attack anyone that tried to pass him and wasn't part of the insurrection, which was the moment that they turned to each other for a few seconds, as there was something they needed to talk about before they went any further.
"Okay, who in their right mind gave farm animals weapons?" Spyro inquired, though the look in his eyes told both of his siblings that he was hoping that Moneybags wasn't behind what they had discovered, especially since he was going to be in hot water once they told Elora and the others about his involvement in the war between Zephyr and Breeze Harbor, but even then he knew there was a slim chance of his hope being correct.
"Given his access to weapons, and all sorts of military weapons, I'm willing to blame Moneybags," Ember replied, but even as she said that she sighed, because it seemed like she was blaming the bear for every problem they found as they explored Avalar, or the majority of the problems anyway, and neither of her brothers could blame her for thinking that way, since Moneybags hadn't done anything to show that he was on their side.
"We would have to ask one of the rebellious animals to figure out how they got the weapons they're using against the Droids of this realm," Spike added, because while he knew that his siblings wanted to figure out what was going on, to this realm anyway, he knew that the answer could only be gained from the animals that were attacking the Droids, something that was going to be hard since all of them seemed highly aggressive and didn't want to talk about anything, before he took a moment to think about something, "anyway, we're going to need names for the enemies we've seen so far, and I already have a few ideas on what we can call the three types we've seen so far."
Spike's suggestions on the names were simple, as the suit wearing cows he felt should be Space Cows, the pigs were Rocket Pigs, just because that seemed to fit them more than anything else, and the cows that didn't have suits could be called Blaster Cows, as he was positive that what those cows did with their guns was different from what the Space Cow had done with his weapon. Spyro and Ember thought about the names for a moment, not even surprised by the fact that their brother already had names for the enemies they had encountered so far, but as they considered the names they found that neither of them could actually complain about them, as each name fit the type of enemy in question and would give them a good idea of what they should expect if they found one of those foes further along the path they happened to be following, something they knew would happen. As such they returned to the path they had been following and dodged the blast that the Blaster Cow fired at them, to which Ember approached their foe and watched as it raised the shield it was holding to protect itself from the front, leaving its backside exposed as Spyro walked around it and flamed their target in the back, causing it to fall in the process. There happened to be another Blaster Cow to their right, up some steps and just so happened to be guarding a pair of metallic vases, so while Spyro and Ember dealt with that foe Spike turned his attention to the pair of Rocket Pigs that were guarding the next passageway, along with a Space Cow, so all he did was take a few steps forward and use his barrier to protect himself from the incoming attacks. The moment the Rocket Pigs were taken out, and the smoke cleared, Spike struck the Space Cow with one of his Arcane Missiles, knocking the cow off the floor and sent it flying over the short gap that was behind it, though as that happened he heard the sound of his siblings breaking the metallic vases.
He barely had to wait at all as Spyro and Ember returned to him, to which the three of them jumped over the small gap that was in front of them and landed in the next small room that they would be walking through as they made their way to where the Inventor Droid was waiting, where they found two gems and a pair of metallic vases, stuff they quickly dealt with before heading down the passage that was in front of them. The next chamber just so happened to have three more Rocket Pigs standing near the middle pillar, to which Spike wasted no time in blasting all three of them with his Arcane Missiles, knocking them around the chamber and taking them out so he and his siblings wouldn't have to worry about them or the explosions that came from their rockets. The did, however, pick up all the gems that were in the area and smash the couple of metallic vases that were nearby, along with Spike throwing up another barrier over the very short tunnel that would take them to the next room, mostly to take out yet another Rocket Pig before any of them could be hurt by that type of foe, before they found a ladder that could be climbed. At the top of the ladder they found a platform, with a slightly raised section to their right, that had a circular metallic chest resting on it, along with a gem to their right, though that was when they noticed a second ladder that would lead them to an area that looked like one of the Droids might be in need of some assistance, but since they usually helped the other residents out after they took care of the main problem, even if it meant backtracking to do so, Spike kept the location of the Droid in his mind as he and his siblings started to turn and leave the area.
That was, of course, followed by Ember hardening her tail as she lashed out at the circular metallic chest, though as Spyro started to open his mouth, however, Spike stopped him and beckoned to the ceiling of the area, as it appeared that there was no way for a missile to easily get into this area, so letting Ember smash the chest now was a good thing, and not even a few seconds later she busted the chest to pieces and collected the gems that had been inside it, allowing them to continue moving through the rest of the obstacles this realm had to throw at them.
The first thing they did was let Spike power down the barrier that he had set up over the passage to the next room, a small place that had an elevator that was being guarded by one of the Space Cows, so Spyro jumped over the laser beam that was coming from their foe's gun and landed beside him, giving him the best chance to flame the cow and knock it down, allowing them to access the area. Once the Space Cow was taken care of the siblings collected the couple of gems that were around the elevator and then jumped onto the device itself, where Spike used the Headbash on the elevator to get it to move, just like Ember had done earlier, to which they discovered that the elevator took them to a level that was just below the area they had been walking through already. The moment they came to a stop the siblings climbed off the device and smashed the four metallic vases that were around the elevator's resting area, before they faced the nearby opening and jumped over the small gap that was between them and the passage that would take them right to where a second elevator was waiting. This one happened to have a number of gems resting around it, so they quickly collected all of them and then jumped onto the elevator, allowing Spyro to have a turn at using the Headbash to power something and let it raise into the air once it had been turned on, taking them to what appeared to be a park area of some kind, or maybe a place to view the night sky.
While Spyro and Ember looked around the area for gems and breakable items, like the glass vase that was nearby and the chest that needed a Headbash to break it, Spike threw out a pair of Arcane Missiles and blasted the pair of Rocket Pigs that happened to be standing near some electrified water, or an electrified pit of some kind, since there didn't appear to be any water in this realm, not inside the structures anyway. While he did that Spyro and Ember broke the glass vase and the bullseye chest that was near the Rocket Pigs, before Spike took them out, though once that was done they headed over to the walkway that happened to be the path they needed to follow and discovered something interesting, there was a Space Cow and a Blaster Cow guarding the way forward. The only reason that was interesting was because most of the previous cow enemies had been apart from each other, never standing so close to the other, and while many might think that this was bad it was actually rather easy for them to deal with the pair of enemies, as both Spyro and Ember glided to the sides of the Space Cow and avoided its laser, causing it to turn around as they rushed at the Blaster Cow. What that did was lower the first cow's defenses and let Spike blast it in the back, knocking it to the floor in the process, while Spyro and Ember dodged the incoming blasts from the Blaster Cow and let it lower its shield in front of Spyro's face, which was the moment that Ember attacked it from behind and knocked it out, allowing the three of them to continue along the walkway as they continued to explore the rest of Metropolis.
The siblings discovered that there happened to be a few gems along the way, though as they collected them Spike threw up a barrier and knocked out yet another Rocket Pig, one that came from the tunnel that was in front of them, one that would no doubt take them closer to where the inactive exit portal for this realm was located, before they turned their attention to the Blaster Cow that was in the way. Fortunately, thanks to the practice they had on the previous cows of this type, it was rather easy for them to get around the blasts and the shield that their foe had to use against them, which was followed by them flaming the cow and knocking it backwards through the tunnel, something that gathered the attention of a Space Cow that appeared to be guarding another elevator. None of them were even worried about this sort of foe, as both Spyro and Spike glided to their foe's sides and tripped the cow, allowing Ember to come crashing down on their target and knock it out, which gave them access to the elevator as another Spirit Particle was released into the air, though unlike most of the previous elevators this one didn't have any gems resting around it, meaning they could simply use the device and continue on their way. As such the siblings got on it and let Ember use the Headbash to get it moving, where it took them up into the air and gave them a decent view of the rest of the structure they happened to be in, where they did spot a few tunnels that went through the buildings, a number of gems and vases scattered everywhere, and a few sphere shaped constructs, ones that were connected to something in the electrified area.
Once the elevator came to a stop the siblings turned around and jumped onto the cliff area that was in front of them, though as they spotted another Droid, this one standing near the inactive exit portal, Spike froze for a moment as he spotted the Powerup Gate for this realm, the only difference between it and the previous ones they had used as that this one had two symbols on it, the Superflame and Superfly symbols to be exact.
"Ah, Spyro, Spike, Ember, its good to see you." a voice said, where Spyro and Ember were looking at the female Droid that was standing beside the strange Powerup Gate, as they could tell that it was female based on the shape of its body and the metallic dress it was wearing, while at the same time their brother was staring at the Powerup Gate, showing that he was more interested in it at the moment, "I had heard that you were coming to assist me, though I wish to thank all of you for your efforts in thwarting this attempted coup, by stopping the pigs and cows that you fought to reach this point. Here, please take this item, which living creatures seem to like, as a token of our gratitude."
For the first time, during their adventure in Avalar, Spike barely noticed as one of the residents of the realms they had helped out produced an Orb as their reward for helping them, rather Spyro took it and let it rest on the ground for now, as he was sure that it would take his brother a moment or two to get over whatever he was feeling right now and then come back to him and Ember.
"And here I thought finding the Superfreeze Gate was amazing," Spike commented, referring to what happened when he, Spyro, and Ember found the ice version of the Superflame Gate in Cloud Temples, an ability that none of them were even expecting to find, and yet here they were, staring at something that none of them had even seen before, in fact the seven of them were likely the only ones that had laid eyes on this Powerup Gate, before he turned and faced the Inventor Droid for a moment, "What do you call this?"
"Its a first for Avalar, the first of several Combination Powerup Gates, designed to give the user two abilities when they pass through it, instead of one," the Inventor Droid replied, her tone suggesting that she was happy to see that Spike was taking such an interest in her work, especially since he wasn't someone that had worked on it with her, while part of what she said informed him that she had more of these planned and that the Superflame/Superfly Gate was only the first in a long line of Combination Powerup Gates that she intended to make, before she spotted something, "Though its a good thing you guys are here to test it out, as there is a group of invading sheep, using spaceships I might add, coming towards our position, with codes to get through the protective barrier!"
"Hold on a moment, how did they get their claws on spaceships?" Spyro asked, because now things were starting to make even less sense than they did when they first stopped and questioned how farm animals had acquired all of the various weapons they were using, and he could tell that both Spike and Ember were staring out into the area in front of them as three spaceships, with bipedal looking sheep, based on what they could see from a distance, quickly breached the transparent barrier and ended the area.
"Correction, sheep have hooves, not claws." the Inventor Droid stated, clearly showing that she didn't understand that dragons were the ones that used claws in place of hands, though it wasn't the thing that was bothering them right now, as they were more interested in Spyro's question than anything else as they kept their eyes on the spaceships, before the Droid spoke up again, "There are two possibilities, one that is rather unlikely and one that has a high chance of being the correct option. The former is that one of the other Droids gave the sheep the access codes, to attack us for some unknown reason, while the latter is that someone who has access to an arsenal of weapons and equipment was approached and struck a deal with the rebellious farm animals... and there are only a few people with that type of power."
"Let me guess, one of them is Moneybags." Ember said, though she was angry, because if they found out that the bear was behind yet another battle in one of the realms of Avalar, even if it wasn't a war like what was going on between Zephyr and Breeze Harbor, than she was going to take Spike's notes on the matter and give them to Elora, Hunter, the Professor, and whoever else needed to see it.
"Affirmative." the Inventor Droid answered, showing that she must have already assembled a list of candidates that had that type of power, at least the ones that she and the other Droids knew about to be exact, while clearly ignoring the fact that Ember was angry at what she was seeing and wanted to break all of the spaceships, to put an end to this and see if one of the sheep would tell them anything about how they got their weapons, "The others are Hunter and the Professor, both of whom are allies of Metropolis and haven't been seen here since Ripto started his rampage, so neither of them could be behind this attack."
"Well then, we'll take the fight to them and clear the skies, and see if we can't capture one in the process," Spyro said, as he knew that Ember would be upset over this, especially if Moneybags was actually involved in what they were seeing at the moment, but at least she knew what they were doing, while Spike seemed to get over what he was feeling since he laid eyes on the Combined Powerup Gate.
Spike wasted no time in slipping the Orb the Inventor Droid gave them into the Guidebook and then returned it to his satchel, which was the moment that he ran through the gate that was in front of them and took off, focusing his attention on the spaceships that were currently flying around the area, to which Spyro and Ember nodded her heads and followed after him, leaving the ground as they passed through the modified gate and took to the skies. The sheep, seeing them take to the air, did the smart thing and remained in three different areas, mostly to split the siblings up, and then fired on them when one of them got too close, showing that they were aggressive and that they were more than willing to attack dragons to complete their coup. Spyro and Ember simply rolled out of the way as the blasts came at them, recalling the training and lessons they received on how to fly, and returned fire as soon as the spaceships they were chasing stopped what they were doing, where they blew the ships apart with a well placed Superflame fireball, leaving Spike to deal with his foe, who he hadn't destroyed yet. Every time Spike's spaceship fired at him, as his siblings discovered, their brother would summon a barrier to protect himself from the attack and then, before his foe could repeat that process, he would reflect the blast back at the spaceship, damaging it in the process, though they could tell that he was trying to find a way to knock out the vehicle and capture the sheep that was piloting it. In the end, however, he simply blasted the spaceship he was chasing with a Superflame fireball and knocked it out of the air, just like Spyro and Ember had done, to which the three of them turned around and headed back to where the Inventor Droid was waiting for them, as it was more important to talk to her than it was to collect all the gems, ballooned vases, and everything else they had seen while they were flying around this part of the building the portal had brought them to.
"Excellent work! You three knocked those sheep right out of the sky." the Inventor Droid stated, once more showing that she was impressed by what they had done, in her own way of course, before she pulled out a second Orb for them to take, even though she didn't have a bag like all of the other residents they had assisted in the past, meaning she had to have some sort of storage area she was keeping them in, "Here, take this orb device as proof of your... oh no, my radars are showing that we have more sheep incoming!"
The siblings sighed, as they would have thought that quickly taking out the first wave would have told the rest of the sheep that they weren't to be messed with, but even as they considered that five more spaceships breached the barrier and passed into the area they were in, to which they headed back through the Combination Powerup Gate and took to the skies once more. This time around they wasted next to no time in attacking the invading sheep, where they split up and targeted three of the five ships, doing exactly what they did when the first wave attacked this area, and it wasn't long before the sheep that were piloting them were knocked out of the air, much to their surprise, allowing the siblings to focus on the other two spaceships that remained. The fourth one fell just as easily as the previous ones did, especially since both Spyro and Ember attacked it at the same time and from two different directions, allowing Spike to focus his attention on the fifth and final attacker, unless there was yet another wave after this, something he would have to find out once they were done helping the Inventor Droid out. What Spike was doing was studying the spaceship for signs of weaknesses, ones that he could use in his plan, and sure enough he found a spot that looked like if it was frozen he could knock the vehicle out of the sky, to which he flew close and envisioned what he did back in Cloud Temples, when he and his siblings first used the Superfreeze ability, and loosed a burst of ice instead of a burst of fire.
The results were instantaneous, as whatever was powering the spaceship was frozen in a matter of seconds and that, in turn, knocked the spaceship out of the air, where Spike watched as the vehicle crashed into the ground near where the exit portal was located, though as the latch to the control area opened he landed in front of the sheep that had been flying the spaceship around and stared at it, just to give the Inventor Droid enough time to cuff him.
"Listen, you and your friends are in a lot of trouble, but you might be able to lessen your punishment if you cooperate with me for a few moments," Spike said, where he could see that the sheep was giving him his full attention, whether it was because he had no choice or because it was better than listening to the Inventor Droid he had no idea, but it gave him the chance to talk with the sheep for a few moments, "How did you and your friends acquire all the weapons that you used to attack this city?"
"Bought them from merchant," the sheep replied, not even surprising Spike by the fact that he could talk, mostly due to the fact that they had been intelligent enough to use weaponry and pilot spaceships, and there was also the fact that he and his siblings had encountered Toasty and the fact that he could talk, before the sheep remembered something else that might be important, "He stayed in shadows, mostly, but he had bag with green gem emblem on it and wore glass in front of one eye, though he happily took gem payment for weapons, spaceships, and access codes."
"This merchant, was he a bear by chance?" Spike asked, though while he was hoping the sheep would say no, just so he could prove Ember wrong, he was writing all of this down while the Inventor Droid seemed to be recording what their friend was saying, and he even spotted his siblings flying around the rest of the area, smashing everything that was on the various bits of land so they could collect all the gems that were in this part of the realm.
"Yes. Like I said, he mostly stayed in shadows, but when taking payment we got good look and saw it was a bear with glass, a bag, and good suit." the sheep answered, where Spike detected that he wasn't lying to them, he was being truthful and that meant that Moneybags was behind selling him and the other farm animals all the weapons, armor, and vehicles they needed for the coup that he and his siblings happened to stop.
Spike sighed as he nodded his head, allowing the Inventor Droid to inform the sheep that he had been a big help and that he was going to be escorted elsewhere, so they would be out of harm's way, though the Droid did leave behind one more Orb for their collection, to which he slipped it into the Guidebook as he watched his siblings, before making sure all the evidence they had against Moneybags was neatly compiled in a single place. By that he meant that one of his journals, one of the smaller ones to be exact, was going to contain everything they learned about the greedy bear since they arrived in Avalar, every deal he would have forced them to make, and, more importantly, everything he had done to disrupt the peace that the residents had been trying to enjoy, while highlighting the war that was raging between two realms, just to show what he was actually capable of when gems were involved. In fact, as he thought about it, he determined that it was rather frightening to even consider what Moneybags would let happen if someone gave him gems for something, and the best example was the war between Zephyr and Breeze Harbor, a conflict he sparked because he saw the opportunity to earn some gems from the two realms, and he was sure Spyro and Ember would agree with him. Moneybags needed to be stopped, it was as simple as that, where he resolved to tell his siblings the news as soon as they returned to him, giving him some time to collect his thoughts as he finished writing everything they discovered about the bear into a small journal, one that would be given to Elora the next time they saw her, and instructions not to tell Moneybags until after Ripto had been defeated, so he didn't have time to run away.
"Well, that's all of the gems collected." Spyro remarked, as he and Ember had taken care of everything that could have contained a gem, clearing out the rest of the realm in the process, meaning that all they had to do was help out one more Droid and this realm was done, before he and Ember turned towards Spike for a moment, "So, um, did the sheep tell you who was responsible for all of this?"
"Let's just say that Ember was right." Spike answered, to which he put his stuff away and headed down to the area that the elevator was resting in, the one that would take them back to the location of the other Droid they had skipped over earlier, where he could tell that his siblings were following after him and that both of them were shocked by the information that they had been given.
"Moneybags..." Ember growled, as she was way beyond disliking that bear, because at this point there was absolutely nothing the individual in question could do to make up for everything they had discovered during their adventure in Avalar and her siblings knew it, now all they had to do was find Elora, give her the information that Spike had prepared while they were gathering the gems, and then punish Moneybags for his crimes.
Now that they knew who was behind the farm animals getting all of these weapons, and the Inventor Droid even had proof that what Spike had written down was true, the siblings quickly made their way back to where the other worried Droid was located, so they could help him, get the Orb that he would offer them as a reward, and then get out of this realm before Moneybags fled from Avalar. There was a chance he could have done so already, after Ember beat him up outside Winter Tundra's castle, but they would have to wait and see what was going on when they returned to the castle to confront Ripto, though for now they focused their minds on Metropolis and nothing else, allowing them to quickly return to where the Droid was located. There the siblings found an ice ring with a bull on the other side, where the Droid told the three of them that the bull was actually in the armory and that they would need to use the bombs it was in possession of to defeat it, to which Ember jumped in there and started to engage the bull, leaving Spyro and Spike to watch as they both considered the fact that Moneybags was going to be labeled as public enemy number one, and he honestly deserved it at this point, given everything they've discovered so far. It would be interesting to see what happened when Elora and the others learned of his crimes, as in what sort of punishment they would give him, though that would have to wait until Ripto was taken care of first, as the bear might believe that he was in the clear and they didn't want to tip their claws so soon, so hopefully Elora didn't move until they were ready to do so.
In the end it didn't take Ember all that long to knock back the bombs and take down the bull, especially thanks to all the training that she received from Titan and the other Peace Keepers, where the Droid ended up giving them a 'visually pleasing reward', an Orb, that was added to their collection, though once that was done the siblings headed back towards the exit portal, as it was time to put an end to Ripto's rampage and punish Moneybags.

I hope that Spyro and Spike will hold back Ember once they see Moneybags again. She is getting very pissed off and I hope her anger doesn't make her do something rash.

Trust me, unless Moneybags is put in a cell for all of this, she's going to kill him in the next game when they see him the first time.
nice work
Metropolis:
Orbs Collected: 4
Gems Collected: 400
Irrefutable Proof: Acquired and Recorded!
Area Cleared!
Oh yes this was really good. The trio has definitely grown quite nicely into their roles as heroes and into their powers so far. Moneybags... Oh moneybags you stupid, stupid bear... you better hope Ember doesn't get he claws on you before Elora does... will definitely be a closed casket funeral should she do so, oh who am i kidding he could be buried in a pudding cup once she got through with him. Enjoyed seeing spike go full nerd over the powerup gate and absolutely loved seeing him use ice breath all he needs now is an electric style and he will have the big 3, unless he manages to figure out how to express magic as a pure beam, if he did i could use another pokemon meme lol. Another really great chapter, keep up the great work

yeah he a dead bear
Excellent job on the second-to-last chapter before the epilogue(s) to Ripto's Rage. The exchanges, action, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all well done in all the right places. Yeah, absolutely LOVED how the trio got absolute hard evidence against Moneybags as well as Spike geeking out over the combo-power-up.
Now, we are down to the last Speedway and the final showdown with Ripto. And, after that, Moneybags is going to be in HUGE doo-doo (though STILL not as bad as he's GOING to be in when "Year of the Dragon" rolls around). Safe to say, about the only one who is going to be even higher on the trio's manure list than Moneybags will be the Sorceress.
But I digress.
At any rate, definitely looking forward to the final battle AND the epilogue(s). As well as the interlude chapters before "Year of the Dragon"
And Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends.
Somehow I get the feeling Moneybags is gonna bolt. Still epic job
Excited to see the confrontation with Ripto. More so once the Professor releases the Super Combo Orbs for the battle. I hope that Spike and Ember gets to surprise Ripto after "dying" in lava, while covertly catching the orbs that Spyro may have missed.
SPIKE!! EMBER!! NOOOOO!!!
MUWAHAHAHA!!! Too bad dragons aren't as fireproof as they seem to be. End of the line, DRAGON!
You know, Moneybags has a nephew in the GBA games that is basically a smaller version of him. I think they literally just made his sprite smaller and called it a new character. Just imagine if Moneybags was taking all of Ember's beatings and the rap for all of these illegal dealings to keep his nephew out of prison. I doubt that will happen, but it would be funny.
At this point Moneybags... I just have one quote to say. "Oooooohhhh! You're in trouble!"
