The Neopian Adventure: Part Five

Kapilino Coast

When Jake, Hairiru, Scotty, and Beth reached Kapilino coast, Jake asked Beth if he could use the registration tower. Beth said yes and that Hairiru had been to her house before and would show him the way. Jake panted as he climbed the stairs. His elongated body was not made for such a obstacle and he was having a extremely hard time. The only sound heard was that of Hairiru's claws tapping the floor as they climbed the height of the tower.

"This sure is a ridiculous height for a tower...why do they bother to make these things so high?" Jake asked.

"Well," Hairiru replied, "it's the architectural law that the town registration tower has to be the tallest building in the town. If it wasn't it would be awfully hard to find."

Jake had more to ask, "What was that weird electric move you used?"

Hairiru gave up climbing the spiral stair case and hovered in the center of the stair case to have a more comfortable chat. "That's an Electric Pulse. The longer you hold it, the stronger it gets. I've wandered those vast fields all my life. The Endless Plains, they're called. I know every grass blade in the dirt upon that field. The blinding move was a Tatsu Rainbow Flash. I just made the rest up."

The two finally reached the top of the tower. Hairiru waited as Jake entered the machine. "Hmmm.... which to pick..." Jake scanned them over until he found something interesting. As he pressed the button, the green aura shone around him again. He panicked but not as much as last time. His beak formed and reformed to become more like Hairiru's. The joints in his wings switched, and his wings twisted like sculptor's clay into fore legs with dog-like paws, his scales dried up his green fur. He felt as if his spine was stretched too far and he felt a small, piercing pain, like the prick of a needle at the tip of his tail.

Jake looked at the end of his tail--a spike-like blade had sprouted. His attention was suddenly drawn to his middle as two lizard-like legs sprouted out of his sides. His hind legs were scaly. He felt spikes rising out of his the back of his neck. Though it seemed to take an hour to Jake, it was more like ten seconds. Jake walked out of the capsule feeling very awkward not having the same pair of legs in front as in back. Hairiru stared at him. "That must be the great griffin. Very fast."

Jake laughed. "Well, if I can get used to this dual leg thing. I think I'm getting used to this whole transform thing though."

Hairiru laughed. "Well, I know what you mean. Once, I bought some potion from a guy in a cape. He said it was an ounce of each existing type of Negg squashed into a jar. I bought it for 50,000 NP. Heh heh, now what happened was I couldn't wait to get stronger, so as soon as he was gone I drank up as soon as I could, and you know what? It was a morphing potion. It turned me into a Shoyru. I went as fast as I could, which was pretty slow, with the puny Shoyru legs and when I got to him, I kicked his butt. He got me a refund and I had to go to the Faerie Queen to get changed back."

"That's a lot of NP."

"Wait until you see my account! Enough talking though, let's go!"

When Hairiru opened the door and Jake and him walked in to Beth's house, Polo and Beth were waiting with Juppies by the fire. "Well, I'm glad that you're here. Now sit back, and I'll tell you a story."
