Chapter 22 back to Barkinburg

Hi guys. Sorry for the long waiting, but in these months I focused more on other stories and my drawings. By the way, I hope you like this new chapter.

Barkinburg had now become the new kingdom of darkness. The obsidian monsters had invaded all the streets of the cit , looking for all the inhabitants to enslave them. Even the elderly and children were taken to the castle to work. And whoever tried to go against the new king would be executed by Rakto.

Meanwhile, inside the castle. Rakto, now the new king of Barkingburg, sat on the throne to relax and enjoy royal wine. The dark spirit finished the whole glass and ordered one of his many slaves to bring another.

Rakto: this is the best wine I have ever drunk. I would say that at least in this city can do something ... now let's focus on the most important things. tailor!

Pierre De la senne, the court tailor, brought Rakto an elegant black dress with golden trim. Rakto wore his new clothes and strangely liked him.

Pierre: what do you think, my lord?

Rakto: acceptable clothing . Now I have to give a discourse to all my subjects

At that moment the royal waiter arrived with a glass of wine full to the brim. Rakto took the glass and began to sip the wine, but there was something strange in the drink: it felt a metallic aftertaste, almost as if someone introduced something toxic into the glass of the new king of Barkingburg , but strangely the poison had no effect, and Rakto didn't take long to find out who had poisoned the glass.

Rakto: apparently the royal waiter tried to kill me by putting arsenic in my glass ... STOP HIM!

Two obscure soldiers blocked the waiter before he could escape , and put him on his knees. Rakto approached threateningly as he pulled out his two secret blades.

Rakto: you really thought you could kill me with such a useless tool. let me tell you a secret: the simple instruments of death like poison can not kill me

The unfortunate royal servant didn't have time to realize that Rakto had stuck the blades in his heart. Immediately after the poor human fell dead on the floor. Meanwhile, Rakto headed out to the castle to admire his soldiers who had gathered together to listen to their sovereign's speech.

Rakto: my soldiers. Today is the dawn of a new age here in Barkinburg, our empire is finally back and soon we will also invade the rest of this planet and become unstoppable. the foolish who dare to hinder our ascent will be eliminated without mercy

All the obsidian monsters rejoiced at the words of their king . Shortly thereafter a dark soldier approached Rakto.

Dark soldier: wise words my king

Rakto: it was a trifle to fool that silly girl into believing that I would really kill my positive spirit

Dark soldier: why didn't you kill him when you could?

Rakto: I can't kill my positive spirit. He and I are the same living soul, and if one of us dies the other will disappear forever.

Meanwhile...

The air patroller had been traveling for an hour and Barkingburg was getting close . Everyone was preparing their armament inside the aircraft. The members of the Paw Patrol were aware that in this war they might have risked not coming back, but they would not have to back down at all, they would have saved Barkinburg even at the cost of their lives.

After the Battle of Adventure Bay. Ryder had created new equipment with new pup-packs containing weapons so that, if necessary, they would join forces with the warriors of the elements to protect Adventure Bay.

Shortly after setting up the new assault kit. Ryder stopped Rocky, the half-breed recycler, to remind him to give Astral something to very important.

Ryder: Rocky, didn't you have to give anything to Astral?

Rocky: oh right, I was about to forget it

The mixed race approached Astral and gave him a long rectangular box. The purifier opened the mysterious box and could not believe what was inside. just before they left, Rocky had repaired the golden sword of Astral, which had been destroyed during the fight with Rakto, and now he was delivering it to the purifier .

Astral: my sword! But how did you repair it?

Rocky: Nova, the metal warrior, taught me to forge the various magical metals. And so I managed to rebuild your sword all by myself

Astral: thank you very much. You're really a good dog

Meanwhile, Nova and Artica were still hiding in the bathroom and they were hearing what was going on Paw Patroller, and when the metal warrior heard that Rocky had repaired the Astral sword alone, he forgot completely that he and his sister had entered.

Nova: very good work, Rocky. I'm proud of you!

Artica: Nova, you're an idiot! We had to remain silent

Everyone looked the bathroom door. Flame had already guessed that his two sons would follow him to Barkinburg to fight the hellish demons. The two stowaway went out of their hiding place and Flame immediately began to reproach them for having disobeyed his order.

Flame: I told you to stay in Adventure Bay, and you disobeyed me as usual ! What do you have to say in your defense?

Artica: Dad! you can't always keep us aloof in every mission. We can fight too

Nova: exact. Now we are warriors of the elements in all respects, it is for this reason that we have received the powers

Unexpectedly, the leader of the warriors of the elements laughed. At first, Artica and Nova didn't understand why, Flame actually wanted to test his two sons. A true warrior of the elements would even have gone against the orders of his leader to save the world , and both have shown the courage and determination of a true fighter.

Flame: * laugh *

Nova: what's funny?

Flame: welcome on board

Arctic: are you not angry with us?

Flame: you have shown me the sense of duty you need for a warrior of the elements and this is more than enough to understand that you have the right qualities to face everything

Nova heaved a sigh of relief fearing the worst for him and his sister.

Meanwhile, Sweetie approached the princess, even the white terrier had decided to help the Paw Patrol with her boyfriend, Drake. The terrier was ready to give her good news even if she was a little embarrassed to talk about these things.

Sweetie: uh ... princess

Princess: what's wrong Sweetie?

Sweetie: * blushes * well... Yesterday evening, Drake and I moved on to the next step in our relationship and ... I'll probably be pregnant

The princess could not believe what she had just heard. she was very happy that Sweetie had found a boyfriend and that she had stopped forever with her attempts to steal the royal crown, but now she had one more reason to be even happier about change of Sweetie. The princess hugged her pet to show she would be at Sweetie's side throughout her pregnancy.

Princess: aww. Sweetie is wonderful, I'm so proud of you

After you have finished arranging the assault equipment. Ryder headed for the cockpit to see how far they were from Barkinburg. By now he could see the city in the distance, seen from a distance Bakinburg didn't seem to have changed, but it was clear that the darkness was in command of that city.

Suddenly from the coast of the city a great fireball was launched and it was directly directed towards the aircraft. Ryder didn't think twice and took the commands, making a sudden turn to the right avoiding the giant sphere. Nobody expected this turn, but fortunately all the passengers had their seat belts fastened. When Ryder returned the Air Patroller to the right position, Eris, the air warrior, approached Ryder to ask him what had happened.

Eris: why this sudden turn?

Ryder: a sphere of fire was about to hit us. Good thing I have the reflexes ready

Eris: let me take a look. Hawk view!

The hawk view was a skill of Eris that allowed him to see long distances, it did not take long time to glimpse of the dark soldiers who were reloading three catapults. The air warrior reported what he had just discovered, Flame meanwhile was ready to protect the Air Patroller.

Eris: apparently some dark soldiers have spotted us and are throwing fireballs with catapults

Marshall: oh no. They will hit us at any moment

Flame: don't worry Marshall, now it's warriors of the elements' turn. Eris and Doragon, come with me. Ryder, open the back door

The Paw Patrol leader opened the Air Patroller counter. Flame and Eris activated their wings and launched from the aircraft, Doragon activated his power and the dragon wings appeared from his back. Soon after, the three warriors of the elements found themselves above the Air Patroller.

Flame: use all your powers to destroy the fireballs. We must protect the Air Patroller

Just then, two fireballs were thrown at the Air Patroller. Flame and Doragon headed over the spheres to destroy them.

Flame: explosive ray !

Doragon: draconic blade !

The fire warrior had his target exploded with the power of his beam, while Doragon cut the burning ball into small pieces. Meanwhile, a third sphere was launched, Eris managed to intercept it just in time, but to destroy it, she had to increase her power.

Eris: super wing cutting!

Eris managed to cut the target in two parts with little effort, preventing once again that the ball hit the Air Patroller. The three warriors of the elements continued to protect the Air Patroller, but until they stopped the catapults, the aircraft could not land. So Flame came up with an idea.

Flame: we must destroy those catapults. Eris, you use the whirlwind; Doragon, evokes the dragon of justice and join the whirlwind of Eris

The dragon of justice appeared from the sword of Doragon. Meanwhile Eris realized a powerful gust of wind that was absorbed by the dragon. There were no more doubts: Flame was going to create a new move by combining the strength of three elements

Flame: pirosphere!

Flame threw the pyrosphere to the dragon of justice, who immediately swallowed it, the latter headed for Barkinburg beach and when it was close enough ...

Eris, Flame, Doragon: Dragon's Breath !

A powerful blaze came out of the jaws of the dragon of justice , reducing all three catapults to ashes. Unfortunately, the three warriors of the elements did not realize that a sphere was launched just before.

Flame tried to destroy it with his secret blades, but unfortunately he could not reach it. Doragon was about to be hit, but without the power of the dragon in his sword he couldn't destroy it, and would not even be able to avoid it.

Eris: mega sonic boom!

The air warrior used a large amount of energy to create a powerful shockwave that managed to break the great fireball. Unfortunately, however, the few energies that had remained were not enough to fly to Barkinburg , so she had to return to the Air Patroller, Flame and Doragon also returned inside the aircraft.

Hidrak: are you okay, Eris?

Eris: yes. I just used my powers a little too much ... did you have some elixir left?

The warrior of the forest gave a vial containing a purple liquid. That was an elixir able to give back energy to the warriors of the elements. Eris took the vial and drank the elixir and immediately recovered all her energy.

Meanwhile...

One of the dark soldiers went to Rakto to report what had just happened.

Dark soldier: my lord, the warriors of the elements and the Paw Patrol are here. And we fear that with them there is also the purifier

Rakto: so do not waste time , call the soldiers and tell them to attack them. Kill them all if you want, but Astral must stay alive

Dark soldier: yes sir

To be continued...

See you soon in the final chapter.
