BrainSpyro's All-Stars: Escape from Cariboo Island

Chapter 7 - Brainiacs to the Rescue?

Just then, the sky began to darken, and the rain began to fall harder.

"I'm getting the feeling another windy moment is going to strike me." Komodo said to himself.

"The breath of the gods are calm," said Word Worm, looking up into the dark, looming sky. "Though their tears continue to naturally fall."

"Just so you all know, 'breath' means 'wind', and 'tears' mean 'rain'." Creative Cat whispered.

Poor Star Preformer started to slip, struggling to get the best grip she can on the surface slick with water. "HELP!" she hollared. "HELP! It's too slippery for me!"

"Don't worry! I am coming!" Data Head replied. Before setting his jet pack off, it fizzled out and failed. He took it off, and discovered that the batteries inside have died. "Guys, I'm afraid I can't. The batteries in my jet pack died."

"Your jet pack runs on batteries?" Lazlo asked. "How many?"

"Twenty AAA batteries. It must have been the powerful winds I battled earlier, which caused the batteries to fizzle out. I'm afraid we can't pitch in."

"Star Preformer...it has been such a wonderful experience knowing you." Word Worm sighed, as tears fell through the frames of his glasses. "It has been such a worthy sacrifice to the batteries in Data Head's jet pack. I...I...I bid farewell!" He started to break down in Data Head's lap. "We will never salvage her life!"

"Never say never!" I shouted. "If you say you can't do it, you can't! So, lift up those spirits, craniacs! If you let the stars shine upon your shoulders, you will help us rescue your starfish friend in a heart's beat!"

"There are no stars around except her..." said Creative Cat.

"Those are just my words of motiviation! They mean keep on going! You'll see why... Rain, sunshine, or moonshine, the stars will shine upon your imaginary wings, as the night breeze guides them along!"

"We really want to rescue my party favorite!" Lemmy added.

"Oh, knock it off, Lemmy."

"Time to help!" said Big Top, popping a lasso out of his head.

"Ain't nothin' gon'na stop us," said MC Ballyhoo. "For we'll save her life for future parties!" Ballyhoo began to twirl his lasso, throwing it towards Star Preformer. "Grab on, lil' girl!"

Star Preformer remembered how confident she was about being rescued from that tour bus crash. She thought she was done for, but she eventually have been successfully rescued. "I have the confidence!" She said as she grabbed the lasso.

"I lack care about what terrible thought struck me." said Word Worm, wrapping his tail around the lasso. "Cat, Data, lend us your grasp!"

Creative Cat and Data Head immedately grabbed hold of the lasso, and started to pull on a count of three.

"Guys, I keep thinking about falling..." Star Preformer sighed.

"Think about the time Spyra and us Cartoon Heroes rescued you and your crani-friends from that bus wreck." I said. "Think happy thoughts! Think of starshine! Think of rainbows!"

"Think of how much Cranium fans are obsessed with you!" Lemmy added. "Me included!"

"I think I have it!" What Lemmy and I said caused Star Preformer to gain the confidence to hold on to the hole of the lasso.

"You've got this, girl!" Lazlo cheered.

"Hold as much confidence as you can!" Komodo cheered.

Over time, the rain began to subside. The sun began to shine through the dark clouds. The three other craniacs continued to pull their female singing starfish from her despair.

"You are fine, I promise." Said Data Head.

With just enough confidence, and just enough strength, we have fully pulled Star Preformer out of her situation.

"M'am," I whispered. "You are okay. Get ready to open your arms, Data Head!"

Data Head began to open his arms out, as Star Preformer jumped into them. He tried to keep his balance, as he almost fell over.

"I thought I was in dead meat right there!" Star Preformer cried in tears of joy. "The three of you saved me! You know what? I'm sorry for risking myself and scaring you. I didn't know there was an easier way up Camel-Back Mountains."

"It's okay," said Creative Cat, nuzzling Star's cheek. "You just didn't know better."

"You travelers seem to know your stuff," said the camel head.

"Don't we have all six treasure orbs, Spyra?" asked Komodo.

"Of course we do." I replied. "Let's open that treasure chest!"
