Chapter 1

COTTON BLANKET HILL, in the whiteness world

cutscene:

news reporter: (is interviewing 3 sheep) "We news-broadcasters have heard that the Sheep-lands are currently in trouble. What's been going on?"

1st sheep: "Well, you see, there's this beast called the Ghastly Gnu...he lives far away...and now he's teleported himself into our lands! He wants to take over!"

news reporter: "Oh! This sounds like bad news!"

1st sheep: "Yep...very baaaaad news! And he's found a magic curse which can turn us into m-" *1st sheep gets zapped by a distant ray of light, and gets turned into a molten rock, unable to move or speak*

2nd sheep: "Ghastly Gnu made that happen! ...And he's also stolen all our chocolate lamb chops, and is planning on eating them to become stron-" *2nd sheep gets zapped by Ghastly's spell and becomes molten rock*

3rd sheep: "And he's ALSO scattered all the Furry Flies; and that's not good because the Furry Flies are needed to give magic to the flying sheep! And now all the Furry Flies are gone!"

news reporter: "And what do you think you'll do about all this?"

3rd sheep (paincking): "We don't know! ...Wait! I've got an idea! We shoul-" *gets zapped by spell and becomes molten rock*

meanwhile, spiral the flying sheep is safe inside his house, in cotton blanket hill. he is watching this news on tv.

Spiral: (hears the news report about ghastly gnu) "Aaah! Soon, the Ghastly Gnu will zap me, too! We've got to seek help, fast!"

Spiral (and his brown pet Furry Fly) head outside.

*spiral sees that there is another sheep outside, who's trapped in molten rock. spiral charges thru the molten rock to free the sheep who's trapped inside the rock.*

**RESCUED ZACH**

Zach: "Thank you for releasing me...Who are you, again?"

Spiral: "I'm Sprial - and I guess I'm the only sheep who hadn't been turned to molten rock. I was staying inside my house, where I was safe from Ghastly's spells, I guess. ..and this is my pet furry fly, named Sox. Sorry he has such a stupid name. Anyway, he's also the only furry fly who hadn't been kidnapped by Ghastly."

Zach: "Glad you're still safe!"

Spiral: "Yeah. Now I guess I'd better go free the other sheep from Ghastly's spell...and then I'll go defeat Ghastly Gnu, I guess!"

Zach: "Spyro, do you realize how powerful Ghastly Gnu is? He is almost invincible!"

Spiral: "You think I wouldn't be able to defeat him, eh? ...and I said my name's SPIRAL, not Spyro!"

Zach: "Oh, sorry about that, Spyr-Spiral. But seriously, Ghastly Gnu is so strong that not even 100 sheep teamed up together can get a chance to hit him once, before he sends out a giant spell that defeats them all in less than a wollysecond."

Spiral: "Okay...now I'm a bit scared..."

Zach: "I suggest that you go find Dexto, the great dragon, who lives up in the cloud-world above the sheep lands. It is said that Dexto might be strong enough to defeat the Ghastly Gnu...so you should inform Dexto that the Ghastly Gnu has invaded the sheep lands, and then maybe Dexto will come defeat Ghastly!"

Spiral: "That doesn't sound baaaad. But how am I gonna reach the cloud- world where Dexto lives? Will I have to use a baaaaloon?"

Zach: "I don't know! Hmm...just free the other sheep, and maybe one of them will be able to tell you how to get to Dexto's world! ...now, good- bye. I have to go play Super Moustache Bros."

1 SHEEP RESCUED

Spiral runs around Cotton Blanket Hill, looking for more sheep to free. The wind is blowing in his face. The snowflakes are falling from the sky. Spiral's feet leave footprints in the snow. Sox, the furry-fly, is following Spiral.

To the right, is a short tunnel leading to another field of snow. There are some small, grey gnu enemies in Spiral's path! They aren't very tough. Spiral charges into them to knock them over. But then there's a bigger gnu up ahead: a blue gnu holding an ice-club.

(WARNING: please don't confuse the word "gnus" with "guns!")

Spiral tries charging through this gnu, but the gnu is too big to be charged. It hits Spiral with its ice-club. (Spiral couldn't flame the gnu, because sheep can't breathe fire!) Sox the Furry-Fly protects Spiral from the hit, though. Sox can only protect Spiral from 5 enemy hits. Sox has just protected Spiral from one enemy hit; now he can only protect Spiral from 4 more.

In the middle of this field of snow, Spiral sees a tower. He goes into it; there's an elevator platform taking him up to the roof of the tower. Spiral walks around the roof; there's another flying sheep up here, trapped in molten rock. Spiral charges into the rock and frees the sheep inside the rock.

**RESUCED LEAPY**

Leapy: "Spiral, my friend! How about a hint on gliding?"

Spiral: "You bet!"

Leapy: "Just press X twice to glide."

Spiral: "Great!...and is there any way I can completely fly, instead of just gliding?"

Leapy: "Not that I know of. But maybe you'll learn it later! ...have patience... Now, anyway, try gliding, and landing on top of the wall that surrounds the perimetre of the snowy field. Oh, and when you get there, there's a green furry-fly over there, that Ghastly had stolen. Capture it!... the Green Furry Flies can give you new magic powers, once you've found a certain number of these flies!"

Spiral: "This one better teach me about flying!"

Leapy: "Well, just go get that green Furry-Fly and find out what it will teach you. Anyway, good-bye for now. I have to go find my missing shoe."

*disappears*

2 SHEEP RESCUED, SO FAR

Spiral glides from the roof of the tower, and lands on top of the wall surrounding the perimeter of the snow-field. There is a green furry-fly flying around here, like Leapy had said. ...but first, Spiral also notices there are some ice-spiders crawling here too. Spiral charges into the spiders, to turn them into butterflies, which Sox can eat to regain health. Sox eats a butterfly; his health has now gone back up to 3.

Now, Spiral and Sox approach the green furry-fly which will teach Spiral a new move. Spiral catches the green furry-fly.

Green furry-fly: "I'm glad you found me...We furry-flies provide all the magic and powers for the flying sheep! ...each time you find a certain number of green furry-flies, we'll give you a new ability! I'll teach you a new ability right now: you can now spit cottonballs by pressing the O button! O, and you can press the ^ button to aim the cottonballs you spit."

**1 green furry-fly found**

Spiral jumps back down to the ground at the bottom of the snowy-field. Spiral passes by the big blue gnus with the ice-clubs, again. The gnus that are too big to be charged. Spiral sees he can spit cottonballs at the gnus and it will defeat them! The gnus drop zems, when defeated. Spiral picks up the zems. (At the end of each level, I'll tell you Spiral's total # of zems.)

Spiral walks back to the field where he had started, and spots a huge stone building here; its door will only open when Spiral shoots a cottonball at the switch that's above the door. Spiral shoots a cottonball at it; the door opens; Spiral enters. He shoots cottonballs at several big blue gnus in here; they drop zems. Then there's a huge pit in the floor, which Spiral glides over. On the other side, there's a pesky-looking brown groundhog here, holding a bag of money.

Spiral: "Who are you?"

Groundhog: "They call me Greedybagz. Everyone hates me; they all say I'm too greedy and it's annoying how I'm always asking people for lots of zems..."

Spiral: "Oh. Anyway, I've gotta go. Talk to you later."

Greedybagz: "Not yet! First, pay me 100 zems and I'll open the back door..."

Spiral: "Grrrrrr...do I have 100 zems?"

100 ZEMS NEEDED

-spiral has 130 zems.

Spiral puts 100 zems in Greedybagz's bag, then Greedybagz opens the back door for Spiral. Then Greedybagz leaves; thank goodness.

Through the back door, Spiral comes out at a small backyard of snow. There is another sheep here, trapped in molten rock. Spiral charges into the rock & frees the sheep.

**RESCUED FLUFFY**

Fluffy: "You see the portal nearby me? It will take you out of this level, and out to one of the home-worlds, The Whiteness World. ...but first, I'd like to tell you a story. There was once a parrot named Paul, who lived in the branches of a coconut tree in Italy..."

Spiral: "AAAAAAAAH! GOTTA GO!"

Fluffy: "See you later. I have to go write the three-hundred-thirty-nineth chapter of my story...I hope that Ghastly Gnu hasn't turned my pencil into molten rock, too!..."

Before Spiral goes through the exit portal, he sees some zems nearby, which he picks up, in case he meets Greedybagz again. Then, after picking up these remaining zems, Spiral exits the level.

total sheep rescued: 3

total green furry-flies found: 01

total zems: 200
