Chapter Two


The next morning, George was awoken by a heavy weight pressing down on his belly. Opening his eyes, he saw that it was Spyro bouncing on him to wake up. "Morning little guy." George said with a smile. "I can see that you're hungry, I bought you lots of lamb while you were asleep."

Carrying the little dragon to his chair, George got a large lamb chop from the fridge. "It may take a while to cook though."

Not wanting to wait for his breakfast, Spyro snatched the lamb and spat a stream of fire on it, cooking it instantly. "That's one hot flame you got there little guy. Just make sure to be careful whenever you use it. I don't want the house to burn down."

Nodding, Spyro dug into the meat and gave a satisfied burp once he was full. "I wonder... Do you have any parents? I might need to ask that Moneybags guy where he got your egg from."

After guzzling down ten breakfast smoothies, a dozen pieces of toast with jam and an entire box of cornflakes, George got a leash and attached it to Spyro. "Just so you don't run off and get into trouble. I'm sure I can try to convince anyone who sees you that you're just a dog in a dragon suit."

On his way back to Moneybags, George was suddenly knocked down by a dinosaur like creature with a club in his hand. "Ow! What the hell was that for?!" George shouted.

"Hand over the dragon and no one gets hurt!" The dinosaur demanded.

"No way!" George responded, picking up Spyro. "He's staying with me! You guys could hurt him.."

"I'll force him out of your arms then!"

"I'm outta here!!"

George ran for the hills, but the creature was still hot on his tail. "There's no way I can lose him.." Then all of a sudden he felt his feet lift off the ground. "Huh?. Spyro are you flying?.."

Looking down, he saw that they were as high as the birds flying by. "Whoa! I better hang on tight so I don't fall. Good thing that guy can't fly right?"

"Yeah!" Spyro chirped. "Yeah yeah yeah!"

"I never knew you could talk. I think we lost him. Let's find a good place to land little guy."

Eventually the duo landing in a clearing near John's house. "George you could have called me first to say that you're coming over."

"Well I didn't really expect to give you a surprise visit. I was running from this weird looking dinosaur, rhino hybrid thing that talks! It was trying to take Spyro from me. Good thing he flew us here."

"Really George?.. Okay I guess I did see a cheetah running on its hind legs around here. Nearly ran into Cyn. What was his hurry?"

"He might have been trying to find us as well.. Well I hope we don't see any more weird creatures.. Like a life size rabbit that knows magic.. Or a giant ape that wants to kill us all."

"Yeah.. Well come on in, no point standing around here."

Upon entering the house, George set Spyro down and let him wonder around John's large house. "Purple puppy!" He heard Julian say. Then all of a sudden Spyro squeaked as he felt the toddler tug at his tail.

"Careful now Jules." John told him, gently prying his hands away from the tail. "Be very gentle with our guest."

"Okay Daddy. Sorry Puppy." Julian said.

"That's alright Julian. He's a dragon really, his name's Spyro."

"Hello Mr. Spyro. I'm Julian!"

But the little purple dragon was more focused on the newspaper on the table. "What's this say?" Picking up the paper, George didn't need to read any further than the headline. "Monsters invade Liverpool! Those look just like that Dino thing I saw on my way to Moneybags' shop! There's more of them?.."

"And that's not all." Cynthia interrupted from the living room. "There's some red dinosaur that's hacked into all the TV stations and won't stop ranting about how much he hates dragons."

"What could he have against them?."

"Not sure. But one thing's for sure, he could be after you since you're raising a dragon. You, Pattie and the little guy can stay at our mansion until this whole situation blows over."

"Thanks.. I'd better call Pattie and make sure she's okay."

Meanwhile at a TV station, saying the red midget was cross was definitely an understatement. "You let them get away?!" He roared.

"Bu-but master Ripto, they flew away. There was no way I could catch up with them.."

"I don't want to hear any more excuses out of you! Now go and mop this place clean!"

"Yes sir.." As Ripto's henchman sulked away, he tried to think of a new plan to capture the Beatle and his dragon companion. "What is one thing that these things called humans like most?. Well I know that the four boys they call Beatles sure sing a lot about love.. That's it! I can capture the one that the human loves the most and hold her here in exchange for the escaped dragon! He'll join the rest of them in my treasure vaults and I will be able to rule with no one to stop me!"

"He's a purple dragon master Ripto.. Didn't that big, hairy guy want him for some reason?"

"I told you to shut up! A purple dragon you say? Well that ape said he was important for some reason. Well as long as I can rule this world he can have the purple nuisance. I'll send my two best men for the job. Crush! Gulp! Get in here right now!"

Immediately two more dinosaur like creatures burst in. One was bright pink with tiny wings and standing upright with a club in his hand. The other was a dark green color with steel armor on him and two missile launchers attached to it. "You called?"

"I want you two to find out more about this human. See who he cares about the most and capture them! Then he'll have to exchange the dragon for the love of his life!"
