King of Thieves

Final Fight and A Wedding Finally!

Lance and Blaytz entered an underground tunnel and ended up in a large room.

"Amazing!" Blaytz exclaimed. In the center of the room was a floating gold hand. On top of the hand was a statue of a cloaked man. "There!" Blaytz pointed to the statue.

A shriek was heard and suddenly the ground started to shake, Lance and Blaytz being tossed to the ground by the shaking.

"Whoa! Feels like Hunk got carried away!" Lance said with a smile. Blaytz shook his head and stood up.

"No! It's the Vanishing Isle! The turtle is diving! We must climb higher!" Blaytz ran to the wall and upon hearing rushing water, Lance's eyes widened when he saw water rushing into the room they were in. Lance started climbing after his father, just as water started to fill the room.

Blaytz held out a hand and pulled Lance up to where he was. Water flowing behind them as they ran to get higher up.

Zarkon had been pushed to the tunnel entrance and had started to wake up. He stood up and glanced around.

"Almost there! Can't you see Lance? We were meant to do this together! Come on!" Zarkon heard Blaytz yell from inside. With a grin, he headed down the water covered stairs and headed into the room.

More and more water started to fill the room. Blaytz and Lance, however, had continued to climb. The golden hand not that far away.

"Come on Lance!" Blaytz yelled as he pulled Lance up to where he was standing. On top of a large bird statue, water spilling out the open beak. The hand just a jump away.

"Pity I didn't find this place years ago. This would be much easier if I were much younger," Blaytz said as he backed up a bit, getting ready to jump. Lance, however, caught onto his father's idea. Without warning, Lance ran past his father and jumped. "Lance!"

Lance barely caught the edge of it. With his strength, he started to pull himself up. But at the last second started slipping. Lance glanced beneath him and saw the rushing water still rising. With unknown strength, Lance managed to pull himself up.

"See, it pays to have a junior partner!" Lance yelled to his father as he held onto the statue. Blaytz sighed and smiled.

"Be careful! Don't touch the golden hand," Blaytz called out. Lance grabbed onto the base beneath the hand and pulled to get it free. Lance turned the hand slightly and was able to pull it free.

"Heads up!" Lance called out with a smile. He then tossed it to his father. Blaytz grabbed his cloak and used it to catch the hand. His cloak turning to gold at the presence of the hand.

"Ha ha! The Hand of Midas!" Blaytz exclaimed and lowered the hand to the statue he was on and touched the ground with the hand. Almost instantly, everything in the room started to turn gold. Even the water seemed to gain a golden colour. Suddenly, the roof of the room started to break, water flowing into the room. "Time to go, Lance!"

Suddenly, from behind, Zarkon jumped down and tackle Lance down.

"Nobody's going anywhere," Zarkon growled as he stood up and turned to Blaytz. "Give the Hand of Midas to me, Blaytz, or your son dies."

"Zarkon, your battle is with me!" Blaytz yelled back with a glare.

"Don't worry, Dad, I can take 'em alone," Lance said as he and Zarkon got into a fighting stance. Both ready to fight.

"But you're not alone. Not anymore," Blaytz said quietly as he stared at the hand. "You want the Hand of Midas, Zarkon? Take it!" Blaytz yelled catching both of their attention. Blaytz then tossed the hand to Zarkon who pushed Lance behind him to catch the hand.
