Chapter 4 - Part Four

The scene changed to an open area where a bleeding Dora limped. Swiper playfully slashed the air, showing Dora what he will do to her once he captures her.

Swiper was shivering in pleasure. Finally. After all this time. Dora was finally at her lowest. It was finally time to take revenge for all those times she said, "Swiper, no swiping!" and then him snapping his fingers with a sad face saying, "Oh maaaaan!" do you know how many objects, how many toys, and treasures he couldn't get his hands on because of that stupid cursed technique of hers?!

Finally, it was all about to end.

"Is this..." Dora panted, falling to her knees. "How the great Spanish Explorer is going out?"

There was so many things she hasn't done yet. Like getting her salary for the month. That was extremely important. She needs that in order for her family to survive the coming days...

Swiper flicked his sword, sending Dora's blood off it. He childishly raised a hand at Dora. "Dora, no dying. Dora, no dying. Dora, no dying! Hahaha!" he sneered with a smile. "Just kidding. You're dying today."

Dora's eyes turned dark. "You know, Swiper... there was one friend you haven't seen for ages. A friend I had back when I was just a child. He was so cute and innocent when he was a kid.."

Swiper raised an eyebrow, thinking that Dora was just stalling for time. "Who? Benny? Isa? Tico? or was it... The Big Red Chicken?" Swiper blew a raspberry at her. "Doesn't matter since you're still dying."

Ignoring the dumb fox, Dora closed her eyes, remembering the good old times. "So cute was he when he was young, but as he grew... my Familia were scared, so I had to send him away, when I met him again afterwards, he was so full of rage."

Suddenly, the lights from the streets were turned off causing Swiper to look around in panic.

"Now, Swiper... do you prefer English or Spanish?" Dora asked the question with her arms raised, her left positioned over her right, hands closed into a tight fist.

"What did you..." Swiper looked at Dora with a confused look.

Dora sighed. "No answer? Fine. I'll do both. Estúpido. So let me introduce you to an old amigo..." the area was soon swamped by shadows. In her stance, Dora focused, her eyes gradually lowering, exhaustion due to the circumstances of her current act.

She stared at Swiper, before whispering her incantation.

"Hola, Soy Dora..."

The howling of Baboons, the drumming of Gorillas, the screams of a variety of primates chanted into the air like a song, a song introducing death as well as harmony in the making. At the end of life, there is death, but in the very beginning before death, there is life. This is the circle of life, and as of right now, that swiping fox is at the bottom of the food chain.

A frightened Swiper took a step back as a large cocoon, surrounded by ropes and steel wires, appeared right behind Dora.

"Sacred treasure swings, from vines atop of trees~ From memories beyond, a friend like no other..." Dora's eyes grew sharp. "I summon Boots, the banana devourer!" from behind Dora, a mouth ripped right through the cocoon, snapping the ropes and the wires, a large and muscular arm filled with blue fur, flew out and gripped the outer chains, snapping it in pieces with a pull.

"Hey. You filthy foreigner." Dora called out to Swiper, who was so scared that droppings came out of him.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention, Since he has been sealed for so long by the Spanish Bindings, Boots hasn't been fed in over, hmm, a decade I believe? So..." behind her, Boots emerged from his cage. Standing tall like a giant, muscles popping up all around him, his face set in a scowl, which showed off his fangs. His wild eyes looking forward with drool coming out from his mouth.

The behemoth's chest heaved with every breath. Stomach growling which shook the streets from just its sound alone.

"Good luck. I'll see you on the other side." Dora mockingly saluted. "Adios amigo." she was then sent flying with a single wave from Boots' arm.

Crashing into the street's walls, Dora slid down, blood dripping from her face.

Swiper's body was frozen. His pupils dilating at the sight of the unconscious Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Boots took several steps.

Thump Thump Thump

Swiper turned his head to face the giant monkey. He then noticed the red boots that the monkey wore on his feet. "Boots... Y-You're Boots? Impossible." thinking back to the past, a little money giggling with laughter walked next to Dora while eating a banana. You're telling me that Boots became... this thing? This monster...

"Wait..." Swiper stepped back.

Boots didn't listen. All he thought about was how hungry he was.

Swiper's paws waved frantically in the air. "Waitwaitwaitwait! Oh, screw you! Eugh-Damn it!" he turned to run, but tripped out of fear. He started crawling backwards as Boots extended his right hand towards him.

"Wake up! Y-You damn, explorer!" those were the last words Swiper said right before Boots' hand grabbed his face.
