Zap And Screecher

Zyris lets out a roar at them again before it blasted fireballs at them left and right. Zap quickly flew dodging them one by one before hovering.  The giant mutated dragon pony swung its tail at him, attempting to swat him into his liquid hot death.  Zap pulled out his whip twirling himself around rapidly causing its tail to reflect back smashing against its face, harshly letting out a quick roar before going dazed.  Screecher nudged Screecher as he pointed at the tip of its horn.

"Try shooting an arrow there maybe that's its weak spot... Or... Somewhere else."

Zap blinked shaking his head pulling out the crossbow trying to aim at its horn but had difficulty due to it wobbling its head around and around. He closed his eyes pulling the trigger; the arrow was launched but missed horribly. Screecher slammed his talons gently on his shoulders.

"You were so close!"

The creature slowly got back to its consciousness, snarled at them.  Screecher gulped as Zyris took a deep breath and fully charged fire at them, Screecher screamed as Zap quickly flew out its path as it kept turning following them in hope to turn them into ashes. Pretty soon it stopped firing, panting now, giving Zap the opening he needed. He quickly pulled out the crossbow fired and managed to make a bullseye as the dragon pony roared in pain an agony having been electrocuted in a very sensitive spot.  It attempted to claw out the arrow once it did, it glared and growled at them as its horn started to glow yellow and its mane and teeth were starting to surge.

"U-Uhm, I don't like the looks of this Zap."

The dragon pony spat out lightning at them, Zap quickly shifted out of range before it fired at them again.  Zyris kept on blasting at them cutting them off in every dodge attempt.  He stared glaring at it before the dragon pony slowly charged up.  He pulled out his crossbow fired at its horn; once it made impact the dragon pony lets out another roar in pain and agony.  The dragon pony clawed out the arrow growling at them enraged.  Screecher hid behind Zap back while he stared back glaring as Zyris charged back up but this time fusing both fire and lightning together in a electrical heat beam.  Zap quickly pulled out his crossbow; the dragon pony slowly opened its jaws as both lightning and fire were forming together.  One second before it released its blast, Zap fired an arrow straight into its mouth before quickly flying out of range towards the other side of the lava lake.  It lets out one last long roar in pain and agony having it being electrocuted on its insides.  After a whole minute the dragon pony slowly fall to its side into the lava causing a wave of magma to hit the cliff side.  It slowly began to sink into the lava.  Screecher hopped off his back wiping the sweat off his feather covered forehead.

"Whew! That outta take care of that creep huh?"

Zap slowly nodded raising his left hoof leans it towards him.  Screecher pushed a small red button beginning transmission to Tinker.

"Well you can tell the villagers that they have no reason to fear. For that WE have slayed Zyris."

After he finished his sentence a loud cheerful screams could be heard from their transmission a mare voice spoke but it wasn't Tinker instead it was Life Saver.

"Amazing! I knew you guys could do it!"

"Life Saver!? How the heck did you--"

"Oh right after I told them about you two going to face that monster. I even asked if I could join you guys on your quest and your cousin even gave me this trans-communicator so I can keep in touch with you Zap."

Zap smiled wagging his tail as Screecher rolled his eyes.

"Oh brother."

"Oh by the way guys. The valley behind you will lead directly towards the east village. Just be careful to not run into trees and you should be fine. Good luck!"

The transmission ended as Zap looked at Screecher, and he slowly shook his head. Zap rolled his eyes at him with a smile before he sighed.

"Let’s just go Zap."

Screecher walked towards the valley as Zap followed.  Once they reached it they come across the four remaining primals that were back at the swamp as the one in the back of the group was carrying a large brown bag.  They all stuck their serpent like tongues at the two before fleeing from them.

"Zap we can't let them get away this time.  You fly I'll shoot."

Zap nodded quickly and flew after them dodging trees and rocks along the way.  Shortly they got close to the fourth primal as Screecher pulled out the crossbow aiming at its side before pulling the trigger.  Once it made impact it lets out a scream in agony of being electrocuted as it ran into a tree.

"Oh yeah!  That's one fly we won't have to worry."

Zap managed to catch up to the next primal as Screecher shot it down as well.  They suddenly entered a cavern where there was a red crystal all over its walls.  They catch up to the second one taking it down as well before reaching for the last one carrying the large bag.  It was heading towards a small hole that it could fit itself through and the bag. Screecher carefully aimed towards its right hind leg.  As soon as it was nearly close to the hole above the ceiling he fired making a bullseye causing it to shriek in agony as it dropped the bag Zap quickly caught it before making a quick landing.  The primal was slowly turned into nothing but a pile ash.  Screecher untied the small rope before opening the bag as it revealed more Lightning shards approximately one hundred of them.

"Great, more shards.  What’s next?  An Oracle right beside us?"

Zap blinked pointed towards his left as there actually was one beside him.

"..Huh."

They walked towards it as the glow from its eyes returned as the Oracle spoke for its final time.

"The ancient storm is coming sooner than you expect brave one… bring all four clusters of the ancient relic known as the Lightning stone for it will grant you the powers of the Lightning god.  Present me the one hundred shards for the last ancient lightning weapon."

They looked at each other for a short second before Zap pushed the bag slowly towards it as it levitated them out slowly merging them together.

"You are near the end of the path of becoming a hero young one.  But you are far from becoming a legend.  Here is a weapon that will cut through any metal."

The Oracle formed the shards into both a sword with a lightning bolt shaped blade along with a satchel to carry it.  They were levitated slowly down before the glows in its eyes faded away.  Zap strapped the satchel to his right side before grabbing the sword by the handle as the blade began surging.  Zap stared blinking before slipping it inside.  He dashed towards the entrance that leads to the east village but once they reached it, what came next shocked them as the whole village was covered in giant silky webs.
