darkSpyro

I haven't come up with a definite title to it yet, but it's basically about Starz VS Dragons VS Elves; the main plot describes how it happens. In this version, Spyro as well as many other dragons would be available to play as since it'll be converting squad like play. Online or offline mode with a team of six dragons of two squads. Spyro will still be the center of attention of course, but the female shero Sha Nai Nay is introduced in this story line. She's basically Spyro's competition & doppleganger (in a sense) since she has spent time saving realms as well. Flame, Ember & Cynder come back; other introductions of the prince & several other dragons come into play as well. It returns to it's roots of dramedy instead of just drama. Spyro's father will be witnessed through out the story a lot as well...

Time:
2 years after "A Hero's Tail"...

Main Plot:
In lands of imagination, the realm plates have been moving according to their timeline; but secretive recent events have caused them to hit a spiritual note that will spark controversy between certain realms of imagination. The plates were moving along their course till interference from a spell fell through. Factors of beings from the Crazoid Realm were in an uncharted area testing their usual evil deeds where they thought they were alone. Dragons, elves & stars got word on this event from the furry critter realm. They all went to the area to learn that if it wasn't abruptly stopped at that time, the furry critter realm may be under great danger. Sorcerers, wizards, warlocks, witches, hexens & craftsmen of all kind were summoned to lend a hand with a spell that would eventually thwart their plans & have them going on a scavenger hunt to check close by regions for any lingering dangers. This is where the trouble starts; the spell they were using was not yet tested. There for it would have side effects that would reach across many levels of reality. The initial shockwave of the spell not only killed off all Crazoids doing their experiments; it shifted planes of reality. Doing the spell fourteen more times made it so that the plates would intertwine in course & cause significant damage to lands in multiple realms... Months after the situation when many scientists picked up on the detrimental happening, fingers were being pointed to who caused the plates to intertwine. That's when the war would begin to happen, since there wasn’t a plan to fix it. Instead; words were said, blows were thrown, fetuses were abducted & plans were made. That is how the war started...

Chapter 1: Excellent Waterfall

Graduation day is here!! Spyro & the young dragons who have been tediously working for nine months for the forces of dragons; to Lollette the Dragon Trainer, she feels like all of them are ready for the big day. Fitting for gowns, their great caps & the roaring stadium! As the sun hits the noon mark over Artisan, the dragons file in one after another; the twenty four top dragons that are meant to help with the war will be honored. Lollette stands on stage along with Fuzionso the Elite General & Eruptus, one of the main Dragon Guardians. She walks up to the podium to give a brief speech…

Lollette stands at a height of six feet & six inches; her scales are a marvelous color of carnation with small specks of lavender & rose. She is the reason why Ember looks the way she looks; although some don’t think she’s a mother cause of her sleek body; Ember happens to be her fourth child. Lollette is four hundred & fourteen years old; but looks like a refreshing younger dragon. Her wings are incredibly girly & are still in perfect condition; no rips or tears. Her arch is perfect and met at the end with true carnation flowers. Her tail stretches out seven feet long & also has true carnation flowers on the end of it.

Lollette clears her throat for her brief speech, “Ladies & gentleman, we have gathered here today to induct our younger dragons into the 6th Battalion/1st Dragonettes. They have fought to prove that at a tender age, they will do what is right to ensure that our heroes of today, will remain heroes of tomorrow. Their integrity, their modesty, their just, their power; may be the light we need in order to ensure the safety of all the dragons across Artisan, Gravitor, Keshlor & Mahogany. The beacons of our dragons will remain protected for another millennium! The twelve names I call are the dragons we feel are the army we need to thwart the Elves & the Starz...”
Sha Nai Nay stands up, as well as Spyro & Brento; they are so sure of themselves that they will be the first dragon called as the valevictorian. The final exam of attendance, powers, integrity, tactics & the final interview allowed them to soak in their own arrogance…
Lollette says, “Sha Nai Nay, our royal valevictorian; shall she be a hero for the rest of her life!”

Spyro’s face turns into true disbelief as he was sure he would be called out first, since he’s charismatically the best young dragon ever! The steam pours out of his nostrils crazy! Sha Nai Nay stands up & walks to her spot on the stage, a special stage below the podium was built for the dragons to stage themselves for the rankings. She walks to the middle position on the bottom row as Lollette finishes calling out the names…

Lollette, “Brento, Spyro, Izzzie, Melta, Freddy, Flame, Ember, Drake, Chloro, Phytal & Cynder... Ladies & gentlemen, I present the 6th Battalion/1st Dragonettes!”

The stadium roars as the dragons remove their gowns, to toss them in the air with their caps! Although, Spyro still can’t grasp the fact that he didn’t graduate first; they carry on through two more speeches from Fuzionso the general in command of the platoon & Eruptus the sergeant in command of the platoon. Then they are commanded to go & see Gekko the Gate Organizer, to the north of Artisan. Spyro is still carrying the look of disbelief on his face as they run through the meadow to meet Gekko. Ember ends up asking him what’s wrong, then a heated conversation on who is the actual hero begins…

Sha Nai Nay, “First of all, don’t hate; you do not deserve it Spyro…”
Spyro, “If that’s the case, why is your father a villain?”
Sha Nai Nay, “I could careless about Red, more about myself & taking care of yall. We have to make sure, we are all heroes, isn’t that right Phytal!?”
Phytal, “Don’t drag me into it…”
Spyro, “There was this one time, when it was just Sparx & I! The days of our lives!”
Ember, “What about me?”
Spyro, “You’re you…”
Ember, “That’s not what I asked…”
Spyro, “Yes it is…”
Ember, “Spyro, do not tease me…”
Spyro, “Ember, do not agitate me…”
Ember, “Spyro, do you want to make it to our first mission?”
All Dragons, “HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!”
Spyro, “I will, but the problem is; I saw on documentation last night that I was first in line…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Hater…”
Spyro, “More like the truth…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Hater, more…”
Spyro, “Golden Child, I’m not sure which strings you pulled to get valevictorian, but to be truthful about the incident…”
Brento, “INCIDENT? If anything, you failed to comply with the wishes of the army. Feel like talking to Ripto again?”
Spyro, “And here I thought that princes had manners…”
Brento, “It wasn’t…”
Sha Nai Nay, “It wasn’t an incident! It’s going to be rich once your father finds out who you came after…”
Chloro, “Why is it a competition?”
Sha Nai Nay, “For the fortieth time! There can only be one hero in this world. I will not let Spyro out do me!”
Spyro, “It’s already been done…” All of the dragons halt in front of Gekko, Cynder looks up at her mother while Sha Nai Nay gives Spyro the evil eye. Cynder, “Reporting for duty!”

Gekko, “Hello young soldiers, we have a dilemma with a Starz fleet trying to take gems from the Glamorous Rock Maze; you will take the Excellent Waterfall all the way down into the entrance, which has been heavily guarded forty miles out so that the Starz could walk away with enough currency to spark a golem nightmare. We need for you all to act in haste, to regain control of the area or at least destract them enough so that our armies can cause significant damage to their forces surrounding the Glamorous Rock Maze. This gate will lead you to the top of the waterfall; keep in mind, you’re falling from the ozone layer, but you won’t be affected by the gravitational pull of the planet. The flight will take ten to fifteen minutes & I’m sure they have forces keeping you from accessing the Glamorous Rock Maze along the way. Be wise on which six will go for this mission & good luck soldiers…”

The dragons go into the gate, and file around the circular entrance around the waterfall that magically appears from space. They look in amazement as if it’s their first time seeing the waterfall. It’s that amazing every time someone lays their eyes on it. Izzzie & Melta begin to deliberate who will go down as team one, Spyro & Sha Nai Nay both volunteer just to prove a point; but Izzzie takes Drake, Flame, Phytal, Cynder & Chloro with her. They all jump down in preparation for the flight as the remaining six begin to count down ten to fifteen minutes…

Freddy, “So this is awkward…”
Ember, “I bet it is, for you…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Great, I won’t be too enthusiastic about this out come…”
Ember, “Me either, since you put it like that…”
Sha Nai Nay, “So Ember, what do you even see in Spyro?”
Ember, “He’s such a great guy, he saved us once; even when we were in town!”
Spyro, “Uhhh, change of subject?”
Melta, “This is a mission, let’s not forget training…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Let’s not forget he’s purple…”
Brento, “If I were purple, I would’ve been dead by now…”
Spyro, “Brento, you’re the one to talk; with your scared parents. You just got the ability to leave your bedroom!”
Brento, “Oh really? Bring up the child safety issues of parents huh? If my father was the color of egg plants, I would’ve been been dead by now…”
Spyro, “I outta bust you upside your head right now…”
Ember, “There will be none of that Spyro, you’re a gentleman!”
Spyro, “I do what I want!”
Melta, “Focus…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Focus on what?”
Melta, “Thank goodness I was awarded with squad leader. Check this out, everyone stop running their mouths, Freddy, don’t even open yours! Keep your minds on the mission!”
Spyro, “I’ll think about that, at least my father can actually protect a kingdom…”
Brento, “Really now? I guess you would think that you have the upper hand, Mr Third Place…”
Spyro, “Excuse me, I apologize; by the time I was seven, I was already a house held name & even mice knew me over your daddy…”
Melta, “This is going to be the longest ten minutes of my life…”

In the mean time, Izzzie & the other five dragons have successfully traveled most of the waterfall; she took the initiative to fly faster. While they are young, they shouldn’t have a problem with stamina; it’s how she treats everything. The faster they move, the more likely they’ll do damage to the enemy troops down in the Glamorous Rock Maze. As soon as the squad got their eyes on the troops down below, Chloro released a fog that surely hindered the sights of all the troops. While they moved along, damaging major components in the area, Phytal couldn’t help but to notice that there were a lot of them on the premises. The more she thought about it, the more the plan changed; instead of damaging them in a sightless matter, Chloro withdrawn the fog so that all of the Starz would see the dragons. Like idiots, they all came to the dragons, no hesitation at all. As soon as they were all in vicinity of a shadow, Cynder released giant horns that were completely invisible to all of the enemies. With energy from her comrades, the release from the explosion insured that each enemy would be taken to the shadows. With them being out of the way, the second squad began flying down as the first squad made moves to the lower quarters to cause as much damage as possible! The Starz had no idea what was about to surprise them…

Well, interesting, buddy, but too much militaristic at some parts... Othervise, good story

Chapter 2: the Power of Temple Raiding
Last night after completing the Excellent Waterfall mission; the dragons go their separate ways to rest up for the night because they have a huge mission planned for them tomorrow. Everyone is in high spirits; although Sha Nai Nay & Spyro spent forty five minutes discussing how not heroic each other are. Comparing & contrasting feats to one another; huffing & puffing with dumbfounded facial expressions towards lies & deceit. Majority of the other dragons fell asleep listening over how great Sha Nai Nay’s eight realm saving adventures are much better than Spyro’s nine realm saving adventures. There was no modesty in sight, but there was a lot of eye rolling & Freddy saying time out for no particular reason. The girls ended up having to pull Sha Nai Nay away while the guys pulled Spyro away. Before actually resting for the rest of the night, the dragons got a surprise visit from Sparx & Hyla. They came around to deliver great news about what they did at the Excellent Waterfall. Rejoicing & handing out a million high fives, they soon stopped to ask them who was the actual leading dragon in the mission. Chloro looked at Brento with a look on his face of “You really wanna ask that right now?” Sparx & Hyla didn’t disclose any information because the look on Chloro’s face, alas; they finally blinked a few times & fell asleep to the early morning.
After a special wakeup call from Sparx & Hyla; the dragons got up to a small private feast for them & then headed off to meet Gekko for a briefing at the gates. From anyone’s guesses, the dragons had a not so healthy conversation before reaching Gekko again…
Walking in an uneven pattern, the dragons walk with full stomachs & ear to ear smiles. Everyone was in a good mood till Ember had something to say…
Ember, “I had a dream last night…”
Phytal, “NOT AGAIN! Please don’t give a long story that will start a beef between you know who again…”
Ember, “Oh, it’s not even like that; I just thought I would share a volleyball match on top of a huge magic carpet…”
All Dragons burst out in laughter to the point where half of them are on their backs with their eyes closed…
Ember, “Stop laughing! It wasn’t all fun & games; it was an elimination match & ummm…”
Brento, “Here we go…”
Chloro, “Spyro, I think your name is coming up…”
Ember, “Spyro lost the game for the guys from Sha Nai Nay’s last spike…”
Chloro, “I KNEW IT!”
Sha Nai Nay, “That’s how it’s done…”
Spyro, “If by done, you mean spending more time with Ember to be more of an influence on her dreams than me. By all means, date each other…”
Ember, “But I want you Spyro…”
Spyro, “And I wanted another t bone, but they ran out…”
Freddy, “You know what would be real nice right now; if Sha Nai Nay & Spyro would just admit the love each other. Opposites don’t always attract, but a good thing about yall two; yall are two lamely famous dragons that can make more lamely famous dragons so I can go home & eat bun buns all day…”
All Dragons burst out in laughter, except for Ember, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro…
Spyro, “Freddy, who you get them from? The orphanage?”
Freddy, “You eat my father’s bun buns too so shut it up…”
Spyro, “Oh yeah, I forget sometimes; I never had to pay for those sorry pastries…”
Brento, “Uhhh, shut up Spyro… At least he has a relationship with his father…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Now Brento, you cannot take up for your cousin cause his father wears a pink apron. Your father most likely can’t hold a sword…”
Brento, “Wait a second! Didn’t I take you to see your father when you got back from saving a realm for the eighth time?”
All Dragons burst out with long Os, not knowing she has actually had face time with her father…
Phytal, “All of yall are in trouble…”
Spyro, “Ahhh, this is boring me; no one cares about ‘never been’ dragons…”
Sha Nai Nay, Freddy & Brento, “Never been?”
Spyro, “Yeah, never been like yall have never been anything. Anything relevant that is, keep in mind; my face has been on billboards & Rolex watches…”
Flame, “Spyro; can I get one of those watches?”
Spyro, “Yeah, you can; here…” Spyro pulls out a purple accented diamond studded Rolex watch with his face on the face of the watch.
Flame, “Nice!”
Brento, “And again, the lamest award goes to Flame for dipping his head in the blue water again…”
Flame, “Don’t hate me because he’s my bro!”

Chloro, “Not that word again! We should just run to Gekko, I don’t want to hear no more drama between yall. It’s like the second minute in class, yall two won’t shut up! Yes I’m talking to you Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. All that bragging is not called for; go drink a milkshake or something…”
Cynder, “Chloro, don’t make them vanish again…”
Spyro, “I’m not worried about that, Chloro needs to respect his elders…”
All Dragons, “ELDERS???????”
Spyro, “Yeah, me! DUH!”
Sha Nai Nay, “I remember this one time; the king of the yetis told me that I will always be more superb than Spyro.”
Spyro, “He doesn’t even use the word superb; do stop!”
Sha Nai Nay, “Like you would know Mr Saves the Dragon Realms All the Time!”
Brento, “He does know something; he knows that his father doesn’t respect him…”
Spyro, “Keep it up Brento & I’m going to bust your skull all the way to the white meat.”
Brento yawns as he continues to walk…
Freddy, “Iced…”
Ember, “Anyway, the dream was real fun though. There were fireworks involved…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Ahhh, silence it Ember…”
Ember, “But…”
Spyro, “Ember, I have a firework for you; it’s called the Stop Dreaming Firework…”
Chloro, “Don’t be like that to her!”
Freddy, “Yeah Spyro, I’ve read your diary. It has a picture of Ember on the front…”
Spyro, “And the award for the shadiest liar goes to, da da da dun! The bakery apprentice!”
Freddy, “Call me that again & I’ll show you what white meat really looks like.”
Drake, “What would I give for a memory erasing machine when we get up to Gekko…”
Izzzie & Melta, “I know that’s right…”
Spyro, “I wanna know where that diary is though…”
Freddy, “I’m pretty sure you can whip it out like you whipped that Rolex out.”
Flame, “Ohhhhhhhh noooooooooo, keep the diary locked up…”
Spyro, “I have no diary brainiac…”
Drake, “There, he said it; drop the subject & walk in silence…”
Izzzie & Melta, “I second that emotion…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Psych, I had Hyla scoop up his diary once. I read in the season of flames that he wished I was there with him because he failed to defeat a giant gnorc or something. I don’t know, I just yawned & closed the diary after knowing he wanted me…”
Spyro, “I don’t want you…”
Ember, “SPYRO!”
Spyro, “Yes lamb chops?”
Ember, “How could you?”
Spyro, “I DON’T HAVE A DIARY!”
Ember, “I DON’T TRUST YOU ANYMORE!!” Ember runs off hastily to get to Gekko, with Izzzie & Melta chasing after her…
Spyro, “She trusted me?”
Freddy, “For a hero; you sure are illogical…”
Spyro, “You shouldn’t be using that word Mr Easy Bake Oven…”
Freddy, “I wouldn’t have to if you didn’t act like a child who had everything handed to him, Mr Always First Out At Spelling Bees…”
Spyro, “I can spell anything, L O S E R…”
Freddy, “W U S S…”
Spyro, “You wanna do something about it?”
Drake, “Guys, your emotions are showing…”
Brento, “Drake, shut it up & let them fight!”
Spyro, “If we do fight; you’ll just jump in cause you don’t want your cousin trampled again!”
Freddy, “Trampled? Look here little boy; you’re a hero. Heroes fall, they don’t stand on all fours at all times…”
All Dragons, “Ooooooooooooooooooooo…”
Spyro, “That’s it!”
Phytal, “THERE WILL BE NONE OF THAT; why did both of them run after Ember like that. I guess I gotta keep yall in check. Get over there Spyro & you get over there Brento & Freddy!”
Chloro, “I like a lady that can take charge…”
Spyro, “Well I like ladies who do certain things that I’m not mentioning because I know someone will say something to Ember & her whole personality will change…”
All Dragons burst out in laughter again…
Brento, “Who are you kidding Spyro, you want to date Thomas…”
Cynder, “You wrong for that B…”
Spyro, “If I want to date Thomas, you want to date Freddy!”
Sha Nai Nay, “But you still want Thomas…”
Spyro rolls his eyes after Sha Nai Nay chimes in again…
The dragons continue to go back & forth, finally getting to Gekko three minutes before they were commanded. Ember wouldn’t look at Sha Nai Nay or Spyro. Everyone filed into a line facing Gekko where she began to talk about the briefing & saying this will be the only time where the dragons must branch out in pairs to cover all of the grounds for this mission because it’s dire that they do it as fast as possible & separately. They all look at each other with a serious look in their eyes; then Gekko discloses that the missions will take place in five different temples. Before she could move on to more words, every dragon put a grin on their face. Gekko noticed the weird smiles as she turned her head from left to right & back; then proceeded to name the temples. Then they broke character & started jump high fiving each other. Then Gekko had a straight faced look on her face; continuing with the briefing, she disclosed that the mission is within a time frame of sixteen hours & good luck. The dragons began to walk forward to the gate but Gekko had another thing to say…
Gekko, “One more thing young soldiers; this mission is so imperative that if you make one mistake. Your heads should explode, so make sure you all do it at the same time to where everyone is taken care of. Two dragons for each temple & two dragons as look outs; very imperative; I cannot stress how imperative this is. If I had a chart, the imperative meter would be off the page & you could see the surface of the sun. That’s how imperative it is Sha Nai Nay, Spyro, Brento & Freddy. May dragon essence be with you all & good luck soldiers…”
All of the dragons file into the gate to head to the Anciency Outlet, this area is located in one of the Elven Realms & houses great temples that are rarely touched by anyone who is not a tomb raider. The goal of the mission is to make it to the beacons in the Temples of the Sun, the Lands, the Seas, the Stars & the Temple of Energy. The dragons were more than excited for this venture; they were pumping each other up & singing cadences knowing today would be a great day for adventure.

Once the dragons walk up to the northern giant sun dial; they see four young dragons in the distance. Moving a little closer to the ledge; they notice that it’s Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto. They begin to shout their names & caught by surprise the four other young dragons turn around in amazement. Words were exchanged just a little; they were getting ready to embark on a mission where once again, information was top secret to the other young dragons. Wishing each other luck, the four dragons eventually turned around & took flight to their next mission while the twelve soldiers began to discuss who would be in pairs & who would keep a watch out while the other dragons are in the temples. Then Sparx & Hyla come out to assist the dragons in whatever they need.
Izzzie & Melta decide that the duos would be best situated as two guys & two girls. No one saw a problem with it; not even Sha Nai Nay nor Spyro; Sha Nai Nay would be teamed with Cynder while Spyro would be teamed with Chloro. The rest of the teams are Brento & Freddy, Drake & Flame, Melta & Phytal with Izzzie & Ember being the final two. For heavy insurance reasons, Drake & Flame will be the two to be the look outs with Sparx & Hyla. Sha Nai Nay & Cynder will take on the Temple of the Lands. Spyro & Chloro will take on the Temple of the Stars. Brento & Freddy will be going into the Temple of the Sun. Melta & Phytal will attend to the Temple of the Seas. With Izzzie & Ember taking on the Temple of Energy; all agreed that the beacon activation will take five hours from now, so in the mean time all of the dragons sat around for three hours going over who would be the lead & other miscellaneous mission information.
When the dragons were finally ready; they all wish each other good luck with a few added on words of unnecessary gauging effects. They all laughed then broke camp; Flame took Drake with him to the wall where Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto were standing to tell him in order to stay out of anyone’s site you have to be sneaky. Flame got low enough on the ground to where he had a vanish point of all of the sun dials in the Anciency Outlet. Having Drake & the dragonflies follow suit; he taught them exactly how he knows all the facts about Sha Nai Nay & Spyro’s adventures. Sparx & Hyla began to question him about certain things only those two would know. Flame answered every question correctly either the first time or the second time. Sparx & Hyla then flew off into the distance to have a heated amount of words over what Flame really knows. Then they laughed about it & decided to not take it so serious. Drake was asking a million questions a minute & Flame was too busy laughing at the questions, he couldn’t answer any of them because Drake wouldn’t let him get a word out. Their whole history lesson with Flame was just a none stop laugh stock the whole time while the other dragons were busy dodging traps, taking care of spirits, running away from carnivorous worms, flying away from pitfalls & climbing a mad load of stairs. It took them a while to get to the beacons, but they all got to the beacons in a good amount of time before their designated time mark. When the time came for the dragons to finally power up the beacons; Flame, Drake, Sparx & Hyla were so attentive it looked as if their eye balls were going to pop out of their heads. The power from the beacons were making their way through the channels to relight the northern sun dial, which finally looked like a giant pie with quarter slices of a million stars, a million waves, a million earthquakes & a million solar flares. The four look outs looked in amazement hoping no elves would come out of the wood work to see what’s going on. They sat atop the wall waiting for the dragons to materialize over the sun dial so they can get on with the next part of the mission. One by one the other dragons materialized over the sun dial hovering, flapping their wings until they could see again. They all landed on top of the giant sun dial looking around for the four look outs, they came flying down & everyone was accounted for. Melta was the first to say something about it being too silent in the region, then the energy around them began conjuring again; lingering to the western & eastern sun dials; then finally making its way to the south sun dial. The dragons looked at the intense light, then began walking back to the gate that would lead them back to Artisan so they can report information about the mission.
Not before Sha Nai Nay & Spyro looked back at the Anciency Outlet. All of the other dragons began to get an ill feeling about it; then Sha Nai Nay & Spyro turned around laughing…
Spyro, “We just got the most awesome idea…”
Sha Nai Nay, “How do you guys feel about activating the rest of the beacons?”
Drake, “NOPE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO; we are not getting in trouble…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Boy chill out; we have five hours left on this mission. Who is up for the challenge?”
Melta, “I’m not even going to let them talk me into this one; I guess I’ll play…”
Spyro, “That was easy; everyone else get in line, it’s time to pick which temples we’ll be going into…”
Sparx, “We have avoided actual elves all day; don’t you think it’s a good idea to keep on avoiding them?”
Spyro, “Aren’t you my road dog, so to speak? Get ready Sparx!”
Sparx gulps…
Phytal, “Well, I had fun today; so if you aren’t a chicken you’ll get in line Drake…”
Drake, “Where is my father when you need him?”
Spyro, “Probably off ripping elven armies to shred, now get in line!!”
Ember, “Come on Drake!”
All Dragons, “Come on Drake!! You can do it! Be aggressive!!”
Drake, “I’m with Sparx on this one; oh yeah Spyro, did you know that Flame…”
Flame, “At at at at at; he doesn’t need to know all of that.”
All of the dragons look around at each other after Flame abruptly interrupts Drake.

Cynder, “Awkward…”
Phytal, “Ooooooooooooo Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…”
Sha Nai Nay, “What was that about Flame, you’ve been up to no good huh?”
Flame, “I plead the fifth… Now if you’re going to go temple raiding, make the decision now Cynder, Izzzie, Chloro, Ember, Brento, Freddy & Cynder.”
Cynder, “I guess I’ll do it; so this means we all go in alone right? But there’s like fifteen temples & it’s just twelve of us.”
Spyro, “We can do it; it took us no time to get to the beacons, we just waited for like two hours.”
Izzzie, “Way to assess the time Melta…”
Melta, “I was just making sure we all hit the beacons at the same time; my bad…”
Spyro, “Well, either way it goes; we are going to do the rest of the temples then branch off into teams of four to finish the last three. Might as well bring out the beauty of the ancients right?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Even in times of war, Spyro manages to sound like a big wuss…”
Spyro, “Well, we already know who’s going to be the last one done with their temple…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Oh; I was sure you would have a pun with that one…”
Spyro, “I do, it’s called never minding gold; you’re not platinum…”
All Dragons, “GOT HER!”
Brento, “I guess I’m in; it’s not like I wanted to get some sleep tonight.”
Ember, “It is four o’clock in the afternoon…”
Freddy, “I still want to take a nap & I would like to take it while I’m getting a sponge bath…”
All Girl Dragons, “Ewe…”
Chloro, “Let’s just get this over with already… Haha…”
The dragons start to discuss which temple they would go in & which temples would be the final three, since it took them an hour to get through the impressively long temples. Sparx & Hyla decided to keep the times after they stood in the middle of the Anciency Outlet & sounded off with a countdown. The temples were ran through so quickly, it could spin heads around; like he promised before it all started, Spyro smoked everyone by at least six minutes. He stood outside with Sparx & Hyla saying he knows for a fact Sha Nai Nay will be the last one done with her temple & as sure as the sun rises on a daily occasion; he was right. He was the only one on the ground laughing hysterically when she realized she got beat by everyone. Everyone was trying to get Spyro up, but he wouldn’t stop blatantly making fun of the slowest dragon who claims to be a hero. It took him six long minutes of laughing to finally feel the pains in his stomach. Then the other dragons started laughing once he finally stopped; they thought he looked like he found four kegs of beer & chugged his flying ability away once he tried to get the strength to stand up right again. Sha Nai Nay was not pleased at all; she took Ember, Drake & Freddy with her to take on the Temple of Sorcery. Spyro took Melta, Izzzie & Chloro for the Temple of Hexen. Brento, Phytal, Cynder & Flame tackled the Temple of Magic. Fortunately for the sake of avoiding drama; all of the dragons hit the beacon at the same exact time & exited at the same exact time. High fives were arranged, then Sparx & Hyla zipped over to the gate screaming to them are they ready now with their arms crossed. All of the dragons walked into the gate with their heads held down & their tails lowered. Spyro was the last to walk through, but before he did; he turned around to look at the wonderful site of all the beauty floating up to the ozone layer. Thinking; “This is what adventures are made out of…”

Great story!

Coming from a highly successful mission of avoiding elves & their drastic ways of always executing executions; the dragons are in good spirits even though they couldn’t look at the beauty of the Anciency Outlet. They walk through the gate & get back to Artisan in one piece to find three kid dragons flying around, looking as if they are waiting on something. Once the dragons got closer; they could see that it was Trent, Nikki & Five. The three of them had a gleeful expression on their face & when they finally realized that young soldiers were amongst them, they flew over to Spyro & the gang with great news. Having the soldiers pay close attention, Nikki began to tell them about a surprise & that they should follow her & the boys quickly. While they flew around energetically; the young soldiers followed on foot hastily. Everyone was wondering what happened; a lot of things were going on in their minds as they ran through a great amount of the capital. Then they all finally realized they were headed for the Artisan Airfield. It’s only used for occasional celebrations & what the elders have in store for the young soldiers today is definitely a celebration! When they come around the final corner; they hear a roar. Not just any regular roar from a whack football stadium; but this roar was so tremendous, that it shook the ground & made all of the soldiers stop. Trent, Nikki & Five flew into the stands to find some seats while the young soldiers stood in awe at the spectacle of confetti & the commotion of a marching band playing a very familiar tune. ‘the Tune of Dragonis Patton’; many drums & many wind instruments ringed the tremendous melodious Artisan favorite song everyone has come accustomed to over the years. The young soldiers began to run to the center of the field where they felt like they should go; in the center, Fusionzo; the father of Izzzie & Melta awaited them. Fusionzo did the sign to signal the dragons to get into a circle around him; once they got in position, he began to speak…
Fusionzo, “6th Battalion/1st Dragonettes; congratulations on a mission that will continue to do a lot of good progress for the Dragon & Elven Realms, I’m not sure who’s idea was it to light all twenty of the beacons, but who ever made that decision did a lot of good for the war at hand. I know that this war is dangerous to the young population but the sacrifices you all are making will not go unnoticed or unpaid. There will be a great time where all of you will be a part of the celebration, but for now; the morale you just bestowed on the citizens of Artisan have made them completely happy. This joy is spreading over to Keshlor, Mahogany & Gravitor; I want to know, who is responsible for this joy?”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro both step forward; they were standing on opposite sides of the circle so Sha Nai Nay moved around her head so that Fusionzo would get the picture to turn around & see who else stepped forward. In a commanding voice; he told those two to follow him. Fusionzo leaped into the air & took flight with Sha Nai Nay & Spyro following instantly. As children; none of the dragons are told where the good graces of powers come from, the Anciency Outlet is used to send the availabilities of the seasons, the primary elements, magic & existence to all of the realms. In times of war; it’s used to take everyone back to a mind state of valor & acceptance. Although, it wasn’t intended for all twenty of the beacons to be revitalized; Sha Nai Nay & Spyro made a dangerously great choice by doing it. Creating a much direr atmosphere for their comrades. When they got the news from Fusionzo, Eruptus, Heaven & several other generals & guardians; all they could do was look into each other’s eyes & realize how much work they would have to carry for the duration of the war. In all seriousness, they did not show their emotions throughout the entire speech of how much trouble they have caused; in the midst of all the joy they have released. It’s been several centuries since the last activation of all twenty beacons; so the amount of reassurance given to the starz, dragons & elves could be a good thing & a bad thing altogether. Neither one knew of the actually dangers of activating all twenty, because of the teachings they went through during the academy. All they knew was that the temples are sacred & they can make some of the most beautiful images any being could ever see. All they needed to do was follow orders & activate only five of them. Which meant that the dragons would be successful in a very important assault on the elves; that mission for the guardians was a success, but now that all forces in the war have access to ancient amounts of joy; their morale is going to be just as much as treacherous as the dragons’…
That discussion of the responsibilities the two young heroes were bestowed with when they decided to go temple raiding lasted for an hour. When they finally turned around to leave the northern watch tower of Artisan, they flew back down to the camp site for their group. They were finally able to feel free & show some emotion. The amount of excitement both of them had to contain could fill an entire aquarium up. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro have not been this excited together ever about what they deemed as an adventure. These two teenagers have not grasped the fact that there is a war going on; it’s more than just an adventure…
Spyro, “Well; we might have to play the baby sitter & the nanny; but I’m cool with that. Just as long as I get my evil thwarting on, I’m completely satisfied…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Boy; we about to tear the starz & the elves up! I just wish we didn’t have to swear to not tell all of the others…”
Spyro, “The thing I don’t like was, my father was there. I thought he was a busy man; with him having to be out there on the battlefield ninety seven percent of the day. I wanna know if he sleeps & where he sleeps…”
Sha Nai Nay, “L O L, hahaha; your father is a mean one isn’t he? I mean, can I be a breathing statue someday?”
Spyro, “If he would’ve moved, the whole dang watch tower would’ve fell…”
Sha Nai Nay, “You wrong for that…”
Spyro, “He’s my father, do you know how many times I had to close my eyes to keep myself from laughing?”
Sha Nai Nay, “One thousand, four hundred & twenty three times?”
Spyro, “Add about seven million to that…”
Sha Nai Nay, “So I take it that you don’t take your father serious?”
Spyro, “I treat him like I treat Freddy…”

Sha Nai Nay, “Wow…”
Spyro, “I’m just saying though; just because you make sure you can fly for forty eight hours all day at the height of the ozone layer, watching over all four dragon kingdoms; doesn’t mean, you’re that hot…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Oh, he’s hot alright; you saw those scorch marks on his wings. I swear he flaps them out of the ozone layer on purpose for no particular reason. I do wanna be as powerful as him for real though…”
Spyro, “For real though, I think not…”
Sha Nai Nay, “You have to be lying if you don’t want to be as powerful as your father…”
Spyro, “Actually, I want to be on a scale all of my own. This revolves around being famous, not infamous…”
Sha Nai Nay, “He is not that bad, you just need to let it go & love him…”
Spyro, “You would kill to have him as your father right? Wanna trade?”
Sha Nai Nay, “By all means; get the paper work, have my lawyers confer with your lawyers while we are on our next mission. IF there is a next mission…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…”
After reaching the camp; Sha Nai Nay & Spyro walk by Brento & Freddy’s tent to see that they are both knocked out. Spyro, “I guess they really wanted to take a nap…” Continuing walking through the camp, they see the other dragons hanging out & conversing about things. They join in on the conversation & have a splendid rest of the day. Resting up for the night & having a late wake up also helped them get rejuvenated. During breakfast, they were told to meet Gekko again for their next briefing at noon. The dragons did just that with Sha Nai Nay & Spyro walking behind them & staying away from the group just a little so they don’t bring too much attention to themselves with all of the smiling they have going on between them. Thirty minutes prior to noon; Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto were around because they weren’t tagged in any missions; just walking through Artisan leisurely. Without any hesitation, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro both run to them as soon as they see them & take them to a secret place to have a secret conversation…
Spyro, “We’ve been dying to tell someone this news…”
Zaina, “When did yall become, a we; I thought you two hated each other?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Girl; that was yesterday but guess what…”
Zaina, “What?”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “We just blew up the war!!”
Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto all look at each other with puzzled looks on their faces…
Quinto, “So; I think I can speak for us all when I say this. We don’t follow?”
Sha Nai Nay, “What we did at Anciency probably increased the work load for all of the soldiers, but for Spyro & I! It just created another adventure…”
Spyro, “We now have to basically take care of our battalion, but we can’t tell them why or anything. Due to the fact that both the starz & the elves have gotten the morale & power boost that the dragons got from that mission we wrongfully completed yesterday…”
Razor, “I guess they forgot about attention to detail…”
Spyro, “Why you sad Razor…”
Razor, “I can’t answer that question…”
Sha Nai Nay, “No, seriously answer it…”
Razor looks at the other dragons in attendance & lowers his head…
Ellix, “Supposedly, we are not to tell any of you what we are doing because it’s top secret…”
Spyro, “Those words are over used; anyway, just tell us…”
Quinto, “We are going to keep this a secret, so we don’t get in trouble…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Dude, if you want; I can zap you with one of my father’s wands whenever you want…”
Quinto, “I would take you up on that offer, but with what Heaven said on the last time we saw him; I don’t think I can take that offer…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Well, any other time you would take that offer, I guess being an operative for a war takes away your love of getting a few molecules zapped everyone once in awhile…”
Quinto, “Mmmm…”
Sha Nai Nay whispers, “Tell me what’s up…”
Spyro & Ellix, “I know you didn’t just whisper that…”
Zaina, “Why did yall just say the same thing?”
Spyro, “Just tell us why Razor is so sad, all of yall have the same expression anyway…”
Razor, “Look dude, I’m tired; I’m used to just sitting around eating bon bons all day. Not doing what some generals want me to do… Even though I’m highly good at it…”
Spyro, “So after all those times I asked you to follow me back in the day & you didn’t; I bet you are regretting them now fatso…”
Zaina, “He has never been fat that was a photo shopped image…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Anyway girl; I thought yall were the Mighty Mighty Four, but I guess they made a wrong decision…”
Ellix, “Like the one you & Spyro made yesterday?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Girl; I don’t know about all of that, but I had fun…”
Spyro, “It’s what we are used to doing anyway. If this so called war wasn’t going on, I’m pretty sure I would be off in the Unicorn Realms doing something I shouldn’t have business doing either…”
Zaina, “Yeah, we know all about that... Just don’t tell anyone, ok…”
Razor, Ellix & Quinto, “ZAINA!!”
Zaina, “Yall be quiet; I’m just giving him a skim of what we have to do. It’s a thirteen letter word that starts with R; we are usually those, but often we play as diversion medics. That’s all we can disclose, let’s go guys…”
Spyro, “Yall can’t go yet, we are going to need full on section details of what’s going on with yall…”
Ellix, “Like the other dozen times we told you, top secret; now go on somewhere Spyro!”
Sha Nai Nay, “Word from the wise; no matter what you are doing during this war. Remember; if you don’t tell Sha Nai Nay secrets, Sha Nai Nay tells your parents about your secrets…”
Quinto, “We get it! Jeesh…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro start to get getty with excitement…
Quinto, “We are deemed as the Help, the Diverse, the Ready & the Force. Four troops designed to adjust the way the battlefield looks & feels…”
Sha Nai Nay, “That’s it?”
Razor, “Yeah, that’s it; can we go now?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Wow that was deep… I wish I could’ve been a part of it…”
Spyro, “Me too; cause I’m all of that & a bag of chips on a Thursday night & I have a bowl of never ending dip…”

Ellix, “Well; while you two both stand there looking all starry eyed at the truth, remember to not tell my mother about that time a few months ago, I will appreciate it if you don’t tell anyone about the secrets Sha…”
Sha Nai Nay, “OK, whatever…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro stand in the empty loft while Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto leave; they are standing tall with their necks fully extended & stars in their eyes. They both think it sounds beautiful; they both also know that they are the Help, the Diverse, the Ready & the Force with just being one dragon. Five minutes after they realized they need to get to Gekko’s post; they make a hasty move in two different directions so they don’t cause any attention to themselves from the other dragons on their team once they get there. Spyro came running in while Sha Nai Nay came flying in. Two minutes before the briefing starts, the other dragons welcome them with high fives & good spirits. Something that they wanted them to embody from doing all of the temples from Anciency; they share quick laughs & a few more laughs at the expense of others before Gekko walks up with their next mission details.
Gekko goes into detail about Sandria Port & how it has been shut down since the beginning of the war. Although; the starz have left the domain powerless, there was a scheduled shipment of goods specifically meant for Gravitor & Artisan. The dragons are commanded to infiltrate the district as needed to get into carrier zone one so they can gather all of the goods they need in a rocket & have it sent off in a specific direction so it lands on an island in between Gravitor & Artisan. It sounds simple; but Gekko informed them that intelligence have mentioned troops stationed in the area since the beginning of the war & all should take heed to follow Flame during the infiltration part of the mission. After they send off the rocket, they will need to make haste to get to the closest gate as possible to return to Artisan before they are captured or killed. Gekko wishes them luck in the usual way she always does & the dragons go on about their business till sunset. Once the sunset’s completely; the dragons get to the gate & make it to Sandria Port.
With all of the power off, it just seems like a huge sea port of blackness until eyes settle in & can see a little of the darkness to make out the signs on the ground, the buildings, the carriers & everything that makes Sandria Port what it is. Izzzie & Melta stand in the middle of everyone to assess the situation; after a small briefing, they hand over the lead to Flame. He recounts the troops on the premises & gives everyone some vital information about stealth…
Flame, “Well, to be quite frank about how great I am with getting around. Take notes young ladies...”
All Girl Dragons, “Anyway…”
Flame, “In order to get by anyone at any given time; you just act casual. Listen to what they have to say & make them feel like you are up to nothing at all. In fact, sometimes you don’t even have to talk to anyone while you’re taking a simple stroll. Although; since we are on a very great mission where we must play with extreme amounts of stealth, I want you to remember what the word secret means… Do you follow?”
All of the dragons shake their heads…
Flame, “Kept from knowledge or view imbeciles; I swear, if I have to break character & use my awesome British voice one more time; I’m torching everyone!”
All of the Dragons, “OK, we get it… HAHAHAHA…”
Flame, “Follow me…”
Even though Flame can turn off the amount of glow his tail can give off; he simply leaves it at its regular tone. Anyone can see a red dragon walking down an unlit street; but for some reason the stars on deck are just walking around conversing with one another. Not paying attention that there’s a dozen dragons in the vicinity that are up to no good. Flame eventually sees a good place to go; he follows a side path that will take him to an area of Sandria Port so he can hop the fence & have others follow him without alerting any of the starz soldiers. Once over the fence, they see huge signs telling them where carrier zone one is. Amazingly; there are no starz within the confines of where they landed & where they are running through. Finally getting to carrier zone one; they get into the hangar & look around. Spotting all of the goods, each dragon begins to make moves to all of the cargo so they can magically set it inside of a rocket already located in the hangar. Naturally, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro stop while everyone else keeps moving. Without saying it too loud they tell everyone to stop moving because they can feel the presence of some other beings. Not knowing exactly what it is, Spyro tells everyone to regroup & scout the area. Like a huddle of gnats, the dragons all move with each other in a small closed circle around the gigantic hangar looking for something that isn’t there. Sha Nai Nay tells them that she can feel it & Spyro backs up her claim with Izzzie & Melta making sure everyone is keeping their eyes open throughout all of the darkness. Finally, Phytal picks up a psychic reading on something & her eyes catch something like a chameleon moving around. Not shouting; but quickly telling everyone to relax their thoughts allowed her to give them the mind she caught. Then she was able to link up to nineteen more minds; sending the information to the rest of the dragons made them tense up, so she spread her powers as far as she could & cased the entire hangar to reassure the map that she saw before leaving for the mission was proper. Phytal, “We shouldn’t use a shout & scare tactic; we don’t need a whole army after us…” Everyone nodded in agreement, then they heard an unfamiliar voice…
Supreme Starz, “Well look what we have here, a dozen dragons. I can think of twelve good reasons why my shift just turned into buttered pancakes…”
Izzzie, “When you have eyes on whatever star, you take that star out. Got that?”
All of the Dragons, “Roger that!”
Supreme Starz, “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait; what’s the rush? What’s your name young green dragon?”
Izzzie, “Sally Ray & if you harm me; you might find yourself turned into a tree… Captain Planet style…”

Supreme Starz, “Well Sally Ray; that is going to be pretty hard to do since it’s obvious you don’t want to bring attention to yourself. I know exactly what you guys want to do, but do yall really want to spark up a random jamboree?”
Melta, “Uhhh, no; but we would like it if we could just get this over with already. My daddy dropped a ring in here before the war started & all we want to do is get it back. We don’t want any trouble…”
Supreme Starz, “Lies & deceit, if no one knows Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. They have got to be idiots; besides, when yall got in here & bolted all in directions of cargo; it was clear that you were here to get the last shipment for the dragons. Nice try but I wasn’t raised by fools…”
Melta, “Well; a girl had to try…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Let’s just make this clear; if we can thwart all of you guys without setting off a fireworks show, we can leave unharmed right?”
Supreme Starz, “That’s not going to happen golden one…”
Spyro, “Well; we tried, LET’S DO IT!”
With out much warning, Phytal has already linked all of the dragons to the twenty starz inside of the hangar. All of the dragons were aware of the dangers & realized that anyone with light enthusiastic powers shouldn’t use their powers. Careful & wise on the decisions that they made, they were able to get rid of all of the starz. Fortunately for them, they were lucky enough to get rid of one of the prized generals of the Shadow Starz. An elite ninja assassin battalion full of thousands of troops; that specialize in the most worthy ways of warriorhood stood no chance against dragons that were detrimentally set on getting that rocket set on course. With Cynder being a major component, she was able to wipe out over half of them with other dragons incapacitating the rest without too much trouble. Well placed power attacks from Spyro, Chloro, Phytal, Brento, Izzzie & Ember cracked away at the Shadow Starz with full intent on success with this mission. Unlike yesterday; there was no time for extra play, but with Supreme Starz figuring that the dragons wouldn’t make the choice to use lightless powers; he failed the starz army. Once all starz were knocked out, the dragons drug their bodies to one spot. Phytal stood over them, watching all twenty telepathically so they were sure not to wake up. They didn’t have much time to move around all of the cargo; they needed to do it fast, Phytal is only a teen; she’s far away from harnessing her energy in this kind of capacity for this long. Although; she didn’t have to fret for long, because her comrades came through in a clutch; after setting up the rocket with all of the cargo, they gracefully walked the rocket to the runway needed to set it off in the direction of Gravitor & Artisan. Like blatant idiots; the starz just carelessly walked around the domain as if they didn’t see a huge rocket move out of a hangar & down a huge runway. The dragons were all standing thirty feet away from the rocket as Flame stood behind it, listening to them count to blast off. Once the countdown was over, Flame lit the fuse & ran over to the others then they all went into flight into the starry night. Heading back to the cliff in which they came from to embark on the mission; then Spyro had the fun idea of just mass plummeting fireballs onto the starz below. Izzzie & Melta begged him to stop talking about it; then Drake had to say something to really get him to shut up. Everyone laughed & flew directly into the gate one by one, succeeding in the mission without any extra play…

Amazing!

WOAH!!!!!!!!! You've posted like 5 pages in 1 minute! Great story

LOL, that chapter took me about seven hours to make. In the midst of cleaning things around the house, getting interrupted by a U-Verse representative, dealing with text messages & watching television can really stretch out the imagination process. Thanks though...

Chapter 4: Meaningful Conversations
Upon the dragons fulfilling the last minutes of their mission in Sandria Port; all of the dragon counsel gathered up & had a dire meeting in the eastern watch tower of Gravitor capital…
Heaven, “Keep in mind; the Starz have not once said they knew anything about all of that energy corroding the plates of the realms but they do acknowledge being there that day. If & I use that term lightly, if they are telling the truth; then there should be no reason for them to be fighting & making an unnecessary ruckus about who was the culprit that allowed this to happen. Starz are way too prideful at times, I thought I was a push over…”
Virandy, “You are, but I will always argue against that, that the Starz may all be in agreement with their choice of words; it’s quaint that every single one of them recites the same line. Every time…”
Drendosa, “As far as I’m concerned; Brick & Dragonez both admitted that there was a lot of power going on that day…”
Brick & Dragonez, “…and regardless of all that power; there was no sign of something crazy like realm shifting pieces of reality because of all the power that was used.”
Eruptus, “We were there; but all I can remember is how strange the elven princess was acting. I can’t put my finger on it; but the way she was acting when certain people had their backs turned seemed very shady. If it wasn’t a star, someone from the elven realm had to have something to do with it.”
Dragonez, “I am positive no dragon did any of this; but the slander coming specifically from Mikru pains me.”
Fusionzo, “People of interests?”
Heaven, “Bizzare…”
Eruptus, “Princess Vizion…”
Drendosa, “Nivea…”
Brick, “Juggernaut…”
The Dragon Counsel, “Juggernaut?”
Heaven, “Juggernaut basically stood there the entire time silent just like me; if he had something to do with it, we would only know if Phytal was around.”
Brick, “Those poor children, I remember when I first held Phytal in my arms. I knew I would be the best mother; but now, bringing her & the other kids into a war doesn’t seem like a great plan.”
Heaven, “It is beginning to take a toll on the HDRF, if only they were as self motivating as Sha Nai Nay & Spyro are.”
Fusionzo, “Our next generation will be fine; don’t be too obscure, it’s the best decision we could make. I trust our children to carry out orders like any forty year old dragon. We can only hope that nothing happens to them.”
Dragonez, “Hope isn’t enough for me, Drake takes everything so serious already; we all know how much he despises disorder. Having war on little dragon brains at such an early age might develop another case of the Red.”
Lellona, “I highly doubt we are going to have another, ‘the Red situation’ for a very long time. The worst that can happen is one of them dies; it’s been preordained that all sixteen of them will have something to do with a new realm order some day. We barely have to trust Sha Nai Nay & Spyro; if they can save a realm in a matter of thirty hours with out our knowledge, our kids are safe.”
Lollette, “Not only safe, but very well versed on conditions; remember, they did graduate on the same scale as any extracurricular forty year old dragon. They are completely wise beyond their years, maybe story time from Sha Nai Nay & Spyro is what it’s all cracked up to be.”
Fusionzo, “That’s all swell & dandy, but we are forgetting about people of interests. Also, to mention; they are a battalion amongst themselves & I highly doubt Heaven & Eruptus will let something happen to the HDRF on any battlefield… Back to the important list, people of interests; Bizzare, Princess Vizion, Nivea, Juggernaut…”
Brick, “Juggernaut is an executioner; for such a job title. Shouldn’t he have been sharpening some blades instead of standing guard with four main knights, a witch & a crafts woman?”
Fusionzo, “That’s a good point, he’s on the list… Next?”
Virandy, “Psychoz…”
Lellona, “Unala…”
Brick, “Dioza & Dazza…”
Fusionzo, “That’s almost everyone who was there, let’s brainstorm on what could be the agenda behind the corrosion of inter realm plates; again & let’s have different thought processes this time. Also, Guard Angelo; can you bring Red, we need him for the next business of the counsel…”
The Dragon Counsel continues to converse about who they feel is behind the whole debacle of inter realm plates. Due to the overwhelming power they used months ago to wipe out a crazed division of Crazoids who were once again, experimenting & developing tools for the gnorcs; the overwhelming power has seeped into the lines of reality. Shifting the vibe of limbo, altering how gates work & causing drastic land mass changes in multiple realms. When scientists finally clued in on what was going on; they linked the mutated energy back to the day when the group of experimenting crazoids were blasted into nothingness. Questions were asked between so many groups of scientists; the scientists had great theories to what happened & ruled that if it isn’t stopped in time, a lot of capitals would be harmed at the same exact time. They brought the matter to the attention of the royalty & the counsels; then all of the individuals who were there that day during the execution of a few hundred crazoids, got into a heated debate on what happened. The dragons stuck to their case, the elves stuck to their case & the starz stuck to theirs. Everyone was saying that they had no idea that all this overwhelming power could be detrimental to all of the realms. Trying to put two & two together; everyone realized it was one of the magic, hexen or sorcery wielding holders; who altered reality in a sense. Trials were made, threats were made, promises came through & the war started because someone had a secret motive that day. With the starz being the prideful spirits that they are; they did not want to be slandered by accusations from their own scientists & other scientists, or questioned about it in any matter as well. Due to certain allegations; they were deemed as the ones with the secret motives, which quickly turned into a negative situation when they sent out important letters declaring war against the dragons & the elves. The elves retaliated instantly; thinking that the dragons had something to do with it & they started manning up instantly. The dragons were reluctant to get into the war; but due to the starz & the elves being adamant about protecting their integrity & history, they had to set up defenses & make arrangements. Way before the war was declared; right when the scientists started conferring with each other about details of an altered reality, the dragons had a sixth sense about a war starting & that’s why the young dragons were pulled into it. Although the dragons are serious about defending their realm & holding on to as much peace as possible, they have to remember; the starz & the elves are two of the most powerful & influential realms out of the twelve that exist…

In the mean time; Gekko awaits the return of the teenage dragons, she couldn’t go to the counsel meeting because she had news for them. As the dragons flew out of the gate from Sandria Port, they landed & filed in front of Gekko. Congratulations were in order for a hasty & well done mission; but not before Melta started asking questions about new intel regarding what were the goods they went to go get. Gekko told her about the beacon energy for the truce statues around the dragon realms they needed to keep brightened. Cynder questioned her mother about the motives of still having the truce statues lit for the dragons & starz, Gekko simply told her that the dragons must uphold some kind of generous sign that not all dragons are against them. For security purposes of trying to resolve what little they can during the war. It was similar to have protestors showing care for the other side, trying to get the dragons to understand that sometimes butterflies & dragonflies have to work together to keep a happy medium throughout society. After the young soldiers finally got Gekko’s drift, she announced that their camp is moving to Gravitor Capital, to take different missions that need their assistance. Izzzie & Melta surely didn’t have a problem with it; they haven’t seen their home in months, they have been wanting to show the other dragons several things but only if they have the time during this war. The dragons seem to feel positive about the situation since they are young & always looking for new scenes. Their attention spans go into hyper drive once they see a new place; which explains why they have succeeded in all of their missions so far…
After reaching Gravitor Capital; the dragons set up camp with the help of Sparx & Hyla. Things seem to be great as they are in complete high spirits; then Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto stops by their camp looking effervescent as ever, completely different from the other day Sha Nai Nay & Spyro talked to them. They talked for a long time due to no action going on at the moment; Sha Nai Nay & Spyro were puzzled about how they looked because they didn’t come from a mission the day they saw them walking through Artisan. Questions were coming from left & right; but like always, “Top secret…” Left their mouths at an alarming rate; everyone rolled their eyes & laughed, the great afternoon got much better when Hunter was in rumors that he was on the camp grounds. Spyro went looking for him as usual & everyone followed; it’s been a while since the old buds have joked around & shot the ish so to speak…
Spyro, “Hunter, finally! Man, it’s been ages!”
Hunter, “Spyro! BUD!! What’s going on?”
Spyro, “This annoying war is going on!”
Hunter, “Dude, tell me about it; I saw Blink & Sheila earlier & they were telling me some things about Bianca…”
Spyro, “Some things like what? Oh yeah, let me introduce you to the 6th Battalion / 1st Dragonettes…”
Spyro goes down the group of dragons, giving names & giving evil looks because they followed him. Then he introduced Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto. He skipped Sha Nai Nay for obvious reasons…
Sha Nai Nay, “So Hunter, where can I find Bianca?”
Hunter, “Oh, she’s with the Mahogany Capital; helping them out from there.”
Spyro, “I guess we’ll be kicking it with you the entire time we are here & I guess Blink & Sheila are over in Keshlor right?”
Hunter, “Definitely, but check this out; there’s rumors circling the Summon Volcanic, we might be in some trouble. If the rumors are true, everyone is going to have to break camp & go.”
Sha Nai Nay, “Oh lordy!”
Spyro, “Yikes, well fellow dragons; if that rumor is true, yall four; Zaina & them. Will definitely return to the solemn state you guys were in the other day.”
Drake, “Well, if that’s the case; we might as well go to Gekko right now…”
Hunter, “Don’t be telling her anything… This is to stay between us; Spyro, I have your back…”
Spyro, “I have yours too man, Drake…” Turns & gives Drake the evil eye…
Drake, “Screw it; if we have to go to the volcano, we might as well find out now. See ya!” Drake bolts off hastily while the rest of the dragons stay with Hunter.
Ellix, “Well, there goes an easy day off. If yall are going; we are definitely going, then we can all watch Heaven or Eruptus give orders again…”
Spyro, “Yall had to deal with that banana faced imbecile this whole time like that? Thank goodness I wasn’t considered for the Help & whatever…”
Ellix, “You love your father, so hush it up…”
Hunter, “You’re right Ellix, this one time…”
Spyro, “Hush it Hunter!”
Hunter, “I’m still going to tell… Ellix right?”
Ellix, “Yup; that’s me…”
Hunter, “Ellix is going to get the whole story about that time on that…”
Spyro, “Hush it Hunter!”
Hunter, “OK!”
Sha Nai Nay, “Look over yonder…”
Everyone looks in the direction where Sha Nai Nay is pointing to with her tail…
Ember, “I think it’s time to prep up!”
Sha Nai Nay, “You were right Hunter, I’ve never seen so many troops tripping over each other to get their things… Well, if we don’t hear that…”
The battle horn sounds off; signaling all able troops to report to their commanding officer as soon as possible…
Sha Nai Nay, “…horn…”
Izzzie & Melta, “No time to waste!”
Melta, “Nice to meet you Hunter…”
Hunter, “Everyone’s going, so you’ll see me soon enough in that volcano…”
Spyro, “There will also be a mad load of elves too; so survival tactics shall be amplified to the tenth power. Better get your powers ready & the last one to Gekko is a rotten egg!”
Everyone bolts off to the new command post where the gates are in Gravitor; trying not to be the last dragon there. Drake was standing right beside Gekko while everyone filed into formation. They all noticed that Drake had a humongous grin on his face; they all looked at each other in awkward silence, then he filed in on the end. Gekko began going over this emergency mission that would include ninety percent of the troops of Gravitor & Artisan combined to take out what the elves are doing at Summon Volcanic. Located in elven realm Mazzone; Summon Volcanic is an important place for summoners. Intel has it that the elves are trying to summon phoenixes to help them out during the war & it has been confirmed. They have summoned over two hundred phoenixes & about half of the dragon army is needed to stop the organization as soon as possible. The dragons are hyped up for this mission because this will be the first time where they’ll be included on a true battlefield with more allies; so they figured they will definitely be able to use their new found powers at will. Then they got their orders; then they weren’t so hyped anymore. The dragons are to fly to the terrain with all of the other regiments, but their task is to enter the volcano from the bottom; get rid of any troops while traveling up through the shaft of the volcano, so they can get to the source of the activity in the giant globe that has been summoned above the volcano to portal any phoenixes they can find through it. Majority of the work is left up to them, smiles turned into frowns except for Drake. Gekko gave him information on a specific task only he will be a part of & only he can do. The dragons are commanded to be at the army wide briefing in thirty minutes; where they will be on the second row in the middle column. Right behind the battalion that the HDRF belong to; things seem to be grim, hectic & surprising all at once. Izzzie & Melta are hovering over everyone, trying to boost morale & having a great time; while all of the troops pile into the prepping battlefield for Fusionzo to brief the entire army thirty minutes prior to executing the mission. Only to have Fusionzo release that half of the troops of Gravitor are already on their way & everyone should make it to the gates & get to their assigned flying formations so they can fly to their arranged spots of Summon Volcanic.

Hastily; everyone moved fast & perfectly to get to the gates. Once the dragons got in, they started to fly low to the level of the ocean surrounding the gigantic island. Like everyone else, they had sixty miles of flight time before they could get to the volcano. An ambush was in place for them; SHARKS! Sharks have been recruited by the elves as well to offer any kind of help to the elves as possible. Melta was leading the flying formation as usual during a conversation when the first shark attacked out of the water, almost taking her head clear off her body…
Izzzie, “Alright, let’s get into it! Melta, you lead off the formation…”
Melta, “Ai ai…”
Spyro, “Let’s go; I’m trying to bring forth a hurricane today…”
Izzzie, “Psych!”
Drake, “Spyro, why are you always trying to one up everyone?”
Spyro, “Dude, we are on a water front; if I can get the momentum & energy, there is going to be a hurricane or two…”
All of the Dragons, “Or two?”
Spyro, “Yes, or two…”
Melta, “Really; you don’t need to do all that, just get a move on everyone. Take up my lead…”
Melta begins to fly at seventy five miles per hour…
Ember, “Well, dang girl; how fast are we going?”
Melta, “As fast as I can get…”
Then Melta gets up to ninety miles per hour…
Ember, “This girl is insane; pick up speed guys!”
Phytal, “I’ve been meaning to ask… Sha Nai Nay & Spyro; why weren’t you guys there that day when they got rid of three hundred crazoid scientists?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Long story sweetie; but in short, I wasn’t invited…”
Spyro, “Why would my father want me around when he of course wants to be the center of attention?”
Phytal, “Spyro, I have told your annoyance that you shouldn’t answer my questions with questions!”
Spyro, “Look young girl; I will snatch you & drown you in this ocean right now!”
Phytal, “On to more important & things that can actually happen; don’t you think it’s strange that Princess Vizion was there but none of you were?”
Sha Nai Nay, “We hardly know each other girl; we all know how good I am in with the princesses of the yetis, the rabbits, the dwarves, the humans & the alligators. I barely know what Vizion looks like.”
Phytal, “So Hyla didn’t get any faxes that day?”
Sha Nai Nay, “I wouldn’t know, I was trying to get rid of Lord Fate. How he controlled that axe sword in that final battle still haunts me…”
Phytal, “Spyro?”
Spyro, “My father was there, I had to make an excuse.”
Phytal, “That’s it?”
Spyro, “Yup, pretty much doll…”
Drake, “Yall need to think about this, adults aren’t going to question a princess in the wrong place at the right time…”
Spyro, “It’s not like I can turn back time or want to. I just want this war over with, so I can go to the unicorn realms after we make truces again to find something yall don’t need to know about…”
Izzzie, “What are you talking about? The Frog Orb?”
Spyro, “I’m not saying anything about the Frog Orb, you’re so left field that your clover is about to lose some petals…”
Izzzie, “I just want to know why you didn’t go Spyro…”
Spyro, “OK, I went; but it wasn’t like I was down there with them when all of the craft was being summoned to wipe out the crazoids in the vicinity.”
All of the Dragons, “Oooooooooooooooooooooooo…”
Spyro, “Keep this information…”
All of the Dragons, “TOP SECRET!!”
As soon as the dragons said top secret, a shark emerged from the water & was inches away from taking Melta into the afterlife. She veered out of the way in enough time to escape the many row of teeth; everyone followed suit because formation training wasn’t exactly done once a week. It was done every day during their training & they know; if the leader is veering, everyone veers immediately after. Melta was alright but her heart was beating a thousand miles per minute, they had to ensure that she was breathing because the look of a killer in that shark’s eyes was adamant. The dragons were high enough in the sky that no shark could leap that far to get to them, until sharks with jet packs slowly emerged from the water…
Damien Drover, “Well, well, well; we may finally be the ones to take out the great Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. Get ready lads; because today is the day we get to dine on dragon stew!”
Eye brows raised, then the dragons started laughing so hard that they started slowly descending back down to the ocean. Then they caught themselves & stopped laughing; it’s been a while since Damien Drover showed his face. Although he has eleven other top ranking sharks with him; the dragons weren’t about to lose their time slot with the mission, they had to do something & they had to do it fast. By this time, Spyro already had momentum; he just needed energy. He started building power to the point where the dragons knew exactly what he was about to do. During the training sessions of the academy; they were advised & taught by the elders to tap into powers reserved for dragons of the age fifty & up. Using wise ways of giving the dragons new powers; they were able to do amazing feats which is a reason why they are a twelve man battalion.
The sharks didn’t waste any time; they knew something dangerous was about to happen, activating their jet packs; they began to assault Spyro directly. The other dragons had to do something to protect them, so they activated their powers instantaneously while Spyro was going for his third level attack, ‘Instant Hurricane’. Can’t take any measure but the drastic one when sharks are out & about trying to sink their teeth into everything & anything; three minutes later, his third level attack was on. A drop of glowing & shifting cream colored energy dropped from his mouth. Before it hit the ocean surface; winds were already coming along, clouds were already shifting & as soon as it hit the ocean surface, a huge dip opened up & a funnel came to life. Using his powers again; Spyro touched all of his comrades so they would be invulnerable from the hurricane. Then the sharks had no choice but to descend immediately at one hundred & thirty miles per hour back into the ocean so they could swim away from the danger.
Spyro, “DANG! The hurricane isn’t even close to the island, yup; going to make two today…”
Ember, “Oh Spyro; always with the bravery…”
Spyro, “Well; it’s motivating, just as long as Brento doesn’t get any brash ideas about moving the ground & sparking an eruption; everything should be fine…”
Brento, “Oh, you didn’t know; I had that planned as soon as Hunter mentioned something about a volcano. It’s going to be a hot day guys; let’s get to it!”
Spyro, “Just think about what I said beef head…”
The dragons get back behind Melta; getting back into the speed of ninety miles per hour, but instead of directly over the surface of the ocean. The dragons opted to stay in the sky as they continued to pressure Spyro about actually being there the day it all went down. Now that the secret is out; the other eleven dragons have to make a conscious choice on integrity towards the elders or towards Spyro. During the flight, Phytal mentally talked to Spyro about the situation. Trying to go through his memories of exactly what happened, it gave her insight on exactly how much power was used. She didn’t know exactly what happened, but she knows the words used by each craft induced being on the premises that helped powered the spell. All she had to do was make it back alive to look in any spell book in hopes of finding key words so she can put two ends together to stop the inter realm plates from going in wrong directions & killing hundreds of innocents at the same time…

Their usual flight formation; Izzzie & Melta usually are the only two that switch positions.

Chapter 5: Summon Volcanic
The dangerous dragons are over the island now; they notice all of the turmoil of dragons fighting elves on the back of unicorns all across the skies with some battling on the ground. Making sure their eyes are peeled for any danger coming in their direction. The dragons are making a bee line for the eastern vent that will lead them into the bowels of the volcano; so they can safely get up to the top without being spotted, to further have access to getting inside of the giant sphere atop the volcano. Keeping the formation tight; the dragons keep their eyes peeled as they fly directly into the vent, land & make haste to make their time slot. Taking out any elves in their path, the dragons come up to the vent & they all look straight up & realized seventy floors worth of flying directly up is going to be a challenge.
Brento then told the gang that it’s time for a little volcanic action; the ground rumbled once. The smoke started coming from the cracks in the ground, then a small pool of lava came up. Everyone told Flame to seize the situation; he took control of the lava; which wasn’t much. He ended up telling everyone Brento isn’t as idiotic as he may seem. They all laughed as smoke continued to get heavier & heavier. Then random elves appeared as a unit, the dragons made quick work out of them. After a minute of huffing & puffing; the dragons needed to fly all the way to the top to get to the sphere. Drake took this chance to use his skill called ‘Increased Death Ray’. He took flight & prepared to blast as much energy as he could skyward, with the smoke in the way; elves along the shaft of the volcano couldn’t see what was going down below. The smoke got darker & darker as it rose to the sky. After Drake released his powerful ray attack; the energy divided the smoke & penetrated the sphere. The dragons had enough time to get to the top to make it to the sphere before it closed. Twelve minutes were all they needed; the dragons got to flying as fast as they could, going in & out of the smoke to make sure they aren’t colliding with one another. In the midst of the smoke; they needed to dodge arrows as well, they were smooth with it.
By the time they reached the opening; smoke was billowing from the volcano heavily even though there was no actual eruption. Every one of the dragon allies knew that the dragons were a success with somewhat of the mission but because of the smoke. Majority of the army couldn’t see anything that was happening inside of the giant sphere. When the dragons finally penetrated the sphere; they could see many summoners floating around making preparations for the next many phoenixes they wanted to bring through. Then the dragons made out the huge portal they were using & as sure as the sun rises daily; a huge phoenix peaks it beak out of the portal slowly. Then it started talking…
Cardly, “Wait a second! What are dragons doing here?”
Everyone started to look around for dragons; all twelve of them were standing around the closing at the base.
Spyro, “Oh, hey guys!”
Blackamore, “What the hell are these dragons doing here?!?!?!?”
Blackamore is an elite army general for the elves. She’s a personal friend of the queen & has done a lot of major things for the elves over the decades. Right now; she is obviously not pleased about twelve dragons infiltrating the summoning sphere. In a bright array of powers; the summoners in the vicinity started to float around building up amazing powers to put an end to the dragons. Ember in the mean time; encased everyone in reflective crystals that bounced back all of the powers they just blasted. Even though the dragons didn’t take damage, they were launched throughout the sphere. Blackamore told the phoenix who was still peaking it’s head out of the portal, to help. The phoenix acknowledged; then the dragons started to fight for their lives.
Sixteen summoners & a huge phoenix head stared at the dragons. The dragons stared back, then they started laughing. Then it turned awkward; followed by random beams of energy from the phoenix head & power shots coming from witches, warlocks, sorcerers, magicians, summoners, techers & craftsmen. They had their work cut out for them. The fight was major; both Sha Nai Nay & Spyro had a smile on their faces while the rest of the dragons were in a pure concentration mood. Everything was moving fast, huge amounts of fireballs from the dragons. Great amounts of offense from the elves & the phoenix. The dragons put up quite a fight, after thirty minutes of pure mayhem in a giant bubble; they somehow out lasted them without taking too much damage. Ember best described it as, “What a workout!” After they incapacitated the elves & made the phoenix withdraw it’s beak; the dragons somehow found a way to close the portal. A breath of relief they took as the sphere started to dissipate. Smoke was still billowing from the volcano, they had no idea what was happening outside of the sphere. They had a brief conversation about what they should do because they don’t know what to expect after doing what they did. Phytal once again, with the psychic powers; checked in the immediate vicinity. She couldn’t sense anything; it was weird; then they realized that the elves in the sphere were about to fall out of the sky & roll all the way down the volcano. They didn’t want that to happen…
There were sixteen bodies to keep from plummeting to their doom; they had to do something to save them. With the little energy they had left; the dragons created multiple ways to make sure the bodies weren’t ripped apart by the jagged volcano’s outer shell. Izzzie placed a few bodies in a leaf styled parachute, Ember put a few in a crystal case; suspending them in time for a long period of time while they slide down the mountain, Brento did the same thing but with rocks & Chloro created a giant safety cloud for the remaining seven. So far, they have been able to carry out missions without actually having to end someone’s life. Even though they just did a great deed; the elves in the many helicopters waiting outside of the wall of smoke weren’t going to let them get away with foiling their plans of recruiting as much phoenixes as possible. Rockets ready, the helicopters were sweeping around in a clockwise circle; waiting to see who it was that destroyed the sphere.
When the dragons finally realized the sound of helicopter blades hovering they needed to do something & do it fast. Volcanic ash can be surprisingly detrimental to lung capacity; Melta told everyone to take the deepest breath they could & then plummet down back into the volcano as fast as possible before they needed to go back out for air. This kept them safe from a humongous barrage of rockets left in the big blue as they made haste back down into the volcano to plan a getaway flight. Once again, the dragons prove their value to their people; eventually coming out of the vent they went into, they flew over the island watching the battles take place & took the opportunity o surprise the helicopters that were still hovering around the top of the volcano. They were handled; then they flew back to the gate taking out as many threats as possible on their way back to Gravitor. Before they went back into the gate as commanded; the dragons had two minutes of down time. They all turned around & looked at the chaos that was taking place over Summon Volcanic; it was pretty yet ugly at the same time. They spent forty five seconds exactly looking at it, then Hunter came out of the gate on a giant dragonfly with several other cheetahs on the backs of giant dragonflies. Everyone went into the gate after saying good luck to Hunter’s unit & flew into the gate one by one until Sha Nai Nay, Spyro, Izzzie & Melta were left to where they started up a conversation with Hunter…

Hunter, “Wanna see some sweet action? Check this out!” Hunter pulled out a golden bow that seemed to shock the presence of the four young soldiers…
Spyro, “DUDE! Awesome…”
Sha Nai Nay, “That is awesome…”
Izzzie & Melta, “That is so awesome, it could probably pierce the sun!”
Izzzie, “Is that the Arc of Oro?”
Hunter is shocked by the guess, “Uhhh, yes it is Izzzie; how did you know about this?”
Izzzie, “Well; I learned about it when I was around five or so; I’ve always wanted one of those…”
Hunter, “I’ll keep that in mind; before the war started, I found this treasure & had it all looted. In that huge ship of abandoned treasure were thirty models of this awesome bow! If you want, I can hold one for you; I’m only working with fourteen super cheetahs during the war, the others are in a secret location…” Then he winks at Izzzie!
Izzzie, “YAY!”
Melta, “Girl; calm down!”
Spyro, “Hunter, dude; the sphere is gone but I guess your unit is the clean up unit?”
Hunter, “Dude, we are going to shoot down everybody; including your father!”
Spyro, “Dude! You’re the best!”
Hunter, “Only the best for my main man!”
Sha Nai Nay, “NO! You will not shoot down Heaven!”
Spyro, “Don’t interrupt the plans of assassination…”
Izzzie & Melta, “SPYRO!!”
Melta, “Do not be like that, your father is super kicking…”
Spyro, “Yeah, like loafers…”
Hunter, “Spyro, you are awesome dude!”
Sha Nai Nay, “Hunter, do you surf? There’s a beach ninety miles in that direction & even from here, I can tell you can get a few waves in before you must use that bow…”
Hunter, “Girl; I will get a signed autograph from your father!”
Sha Nai Nay, “NO YOU WON’T!!”
Everyone laughs hysterically, except for Sha Nai Nay…
Sha Nai Nay, “A he he hell; that wasn’t funny…
Izzzie, “You should’ve seen your face, here; look at it…” Izzzie holds up an invisible mirror…
Everyone laughs hysterically again…
Spyro, “I wish she would just leave already…”
Sha Nai Nay, “HAHAHAHA, I WILL! Just remember, your never ending bowl of dip is ending tonight!” Sha Nai Nay flies into the gate immediately after saying that…
Izzzie, Melta & Hunter, “Ooooooooooooooooooooo…”
Hunter, “Yup, she’s still threatening that bowl; good luck tonight…”
Spyro, “Screw luck dude; I have this! All of it!”
Melta, “Well, you are on a schedule; so make sure you watch out for helicopter regiments. They have rockets today, a lot of them… If you see a barrage; you might as well hop off your mount & go separate ways or else…”
Izzzie, “Or else what?”
Melta, “Exactly…”
Hunter, “What about the other four dragons; are they alright out there?”
Izzzie, “They’ll survive, they have Heaven & Eruptus watching over them. If you see them, tell Ellix that Spyro’s bowl of never ending dip, ends tonight…”
Hunter, “Passing on the message ASAP; see you guys later… Oh, Spyro; dude, hit us with some of that tail wind!”
Spyro, “Got it dude; but take out Heaven, I’m serious…”
Hunter sets off in the direction of all of the action with his unit & their golden bows while Spyro, Izzzie & Melta return to Gravitor. Where they follow Sha Nai Nay to their fellow comrades, whom are all standing in front of a very happy Gekko; like always, she is thankful that Cynder came back but even more happy that everyone is intact & the mission was a huge success. They are told to take a load off for a few days until something comes up. Not being able to be still at all; Phytal is still stuck up on the fact that Spyro was at least there that day. She wants to pick his brain again to find any kind of information about what was going on down on the fields before the major wipe out occurred. Using her powers of persuasion, Spyro agreed to let her pick his mind; telling her it might be a bad idea. She ensured him that the way that she sees minds; his secrets are totally safe with her unless, during that time he said something totally inappropriate with just Sparx around; again. Phytal & Spyro were alone for hours in a secluded spot of Gravitor capital; she got to roam his memory as he rested, going directly back to the day of the incident. When she finally got there, she played back the situation over & over again. Phytal wasn’t able to hear anything because he was so far away; but she was able to read the lips of every single crafty person in the party. Picking up on key words; she made a mental note for later, when she was done; she gently woke Spyro & thanked him for his time like always.
Hours later; the battle of Summon Volcanic was finally over, once again the dragons have pulled out a win over the elves. With much of the work being done by all of the teenage dragons; everyone was in great spirits. Although; as usual, the elders spent their time working with intelligence, deliberating positively, brain storming, prepping troops, keeping morale up & keeping an eye out on everyone who is important. After body count; the elders made preparations for the fallen, which they kept hidden from any young soldiers among the troops. Not knowing that something dire was going on with the Dragonettes. They were scheming & they were scheming good…
Phytal had all of the words she needed; all she needed was access to an elders’ ancient book of spells. In order to get that access at this time without anyone around would take a miracle to accomplish. She’s not the only psychic dragon around; she has to be very careful with how she acts around certain elders or else. Even Drake was supportive of the idea of figuring out what Spyro saw that day. After he said he had to say about the matter everyone applauded him, then he wanted to Increase Death Ray every last one of them. The only person they all could rely on to help was Flame. Since he is the stealth extraordinaire & all; he made up plans, because he has even had bad situations with guards. Then he thought; “Shouldn’t we just have Chloro ask his mother for the book for a while…” Everyone rubbed their heads & eventually agreed to try that first. To their surprise, Crazy Chloro walked out of the Supreme Hall with one of the Ancient Book of Spells; this one was a bright red, kind of like magenta but with blue glitter among the black wording & spine. The dragons needed a secluded place to go to; escaping the base, they were able to go to Izzzie & Melta’s mansion. Home of Fusionzo; currently empty due to the fact that all three of them are partaking in the war, they were literally alone & able to read the book. In due time, Phytal found all of the spells that were used that day due to keywords.
The spells were: With Genocide, Power Multiplication, Grounds Mixture, Borderline Diving & Spirit Splitting. After examining the spells & their effects, they were able to judge that none of those would do anything with harming any level of reality; visible or not. The mystery deepens; she mentions to her comrades that the elves were saying things completely different from the others at different times. Maybe they had spells much different & hidden from all other species or they had a devious plan going on all along. Either way, Sha Nai Nay wanted to read the book again with Phytal’s guidance. Reading everything over that Phytal read & adjacent spells; then she had the idea to check on reality altering spells. Going over & over them again, nothing seemed to add up that some kind of reality misbalancing energies were causing immense damage to all of the realms. Drake eventually chimes in with his unnecessary logic about, what exactly were the crazoids doing that Princess Vizion had a problem with in the first place. No one had an answer; now the dragons need to get information so they can come up with a solution for what happened. Since the elders & no one else can know about this, they need to be sneaky from here on out about exactly what they disclose with Gekko & anyone else they have to answer to. That night; they gazed at the stars, lying on their backs of the roof of the mansion. Restless minds, looking into the stars for answers they want to find…

Coming thru this b**** with a boss set swag; working on the next chapter... Somebody won't come out alive...

Chapter 6 Honeycomb Horizon
Lellona, “…surely the atrocities of war will not be forgotten; our children are sacred. We need to make sure their minds are safeguarded by actually preparing them to take a life.”
Heaven, “It’s pretty extraordinary that they haven’t taken a life yet; I use yet loosely. I just don’t have a good feeling about this week. Not with the intel that’s here about Honeycomb Horizon, the Crystal Palace of Starz & over at Jungle Chillers.”
Eruptus, “It’s ok; I’ll take any of the slack the young soldiers don’t pull off. Lollette did the right thing by gradually reminding the dragons that the afterlife is not the answer at the moment.”
Lollette, “Yes, surprisingly; they kept their happy faces through out the medium of training. I guess, having to be stuck around Sha Nai Nay & Spyro; they have no real reason to feel fear.”
Heaven, “Well, fear is a good thing to feel; it’ll keep them on their toes. You just can’t expect a teenager to take an actual life in something they didn’t spark.”
Gekko, “Unfortunately; it’s what I ask of them every mission. I haven’t seen battle scars yet, not through a mental stand point. It seems like; ever since the training, they have been in intense high spirits. Can’t say that about the HDRF; I don’t know what you two are commanding those four to do, but stop it!”
Eruptus, “Stop what?”
Gekko, “They aren’t expendable Eruptus; they are prized entities, you know what they mean to the dragon population. Keep them with high energy, the next time I see them slowly walking through camp; it’s your head!”
Heaven, “Calm down Gekko; you said you didn’t want your daughter in our unit for obvious reasons. They have been guarded the entire time as if they are the king himself. What’s going to happen is, you’re going to sip on some chamomile & hush it up!”
Gekko, “Heaven, I will end you!”
Lellona, “In other news; we should get to prepping for the mission to get rid of the poisoned honey. Any ideas?”
Saprisol, “There’s no amount of stealth against the bees unless we have Cynder scout through shadows the entire time. I don’t trust her to take on that huge of a mission by herself.”
Lollette, “I can’t believe they were bribed in order to do that.”
Heaven, “The feelings mutual; but that’s a lot of power Cynder doesn’t have yet. We can’t ask of her to do that, we’ll have to make up some tactical operation for this one. It’s way more honey to melt than I thought a day ago.”
Lellona, “Exactly; I thought we were going to deal with an easy twelve shipments; not thirty eight.”
Saprisol, “Garvel, have the map of the Honeycomb Horizon drawn up; we’ll need it asap buddy. Bring us several maps; we’ll need one for Gekko, the air strike team, one for Heaven’s unit & another for the records.”
Gekko, “Ok, this council meeting is adjourned; come here Heaven so we can have a one on one…”
Heaven, “Here we go…”
The young soldiers wake up on the roof of Izzzie & Melta’s home; occasionally returning to base to touch ground with Gekko during the two days of no action, the dragons spent their entire time at the mansion scheming good. All they needed was a lucky mission to get face time with Princess Vizion, Dioza, Dazza, Galiodo, Unala & Juggernaut. They needed answers & they needed them fast; everyone knows that Sha Nai Nay & Spyro have the irresistible powers of getting the information they wanted. Everyone vowed that if they got to either one of them; they would keep it on the hush so that answers would be made.
Eventually, the dragons got breakfast & returned to base to check in with Gekko. It took them a while to find her; as she was prepping for the next mission with a few other elders. Things seemed grim as they kept differentiating tactics for the mission, then more intel came through about more poisoned shipments of honey. Fifty million gems sure are going a long way for the starz; the situation is turning more grim by the second. Like always; the young soldiers are kept out of the loop until things are official. They have a feeling it’s going to be a day of action; they can tell by how elders are acting & the absence of majority of the army at the camp. The only thing they wanted was orders…
The dragons decided to walk through the Garden of Peaches, trying to keep spirits high; they began to talk to the mothers & baby dragons. Talking about the weather, how everyone is holding up, the next peach season, tonight’s ceremony, Heaven & Eruptus; it seemed like everyone was stable at the moment as they frolicked about with the kids enjoying the early morning. The dragons got a bucket of peaches & t bones steaks; devoured them so while talking about Sha Nai Nay & Spyro’s tales of the unknown. Going back to Spyro’s never ending bowl of dip; everyone enjoyed laughs & were wondering how the other four are doing. Brento gave an unannounced speech for no apparent reason, the laughs just kept coming. Freddy had it so that everyone got some high class pastries shipped directly from his father’s kitchen from another capital. Then Money Bags stopped through; he signaled Spyro to come & see him; one of his most prized customers, they talked about new inventions & a brand new ski resort. Spyro was all ears for it; but due to the war, he won’t be able to enjoy it for quite some time. They laughed, then Sha Nai Nay eventually joined in on their conversation. They invited Money Bags over to the other dragons to where some of them met him for the first time. Speaking of money talking; Brento said he would pay Money Bags if he permanently relocated Sha Nai Nay & Spyro for good. Money Bags put up an offer of four million gems; Brento said he would have the money ready after the war is over. Everyone laughed & continued to have a good morning till Hyla & Sparx showed up again to tell the dragons that they need to get to Gekko at a certain time for their next mission. They had all day to enjoy their time; eventually after returning to Izzzie & Melta’s home to deliberate more on how to get a set up with six suspect elves, they were faced with Gekko time again…

Gekko briefed the dragons about a fifty million gem mission; they all became starry eyed. Moving that kind of money around only meant they needed to do a lot of damage control. Throughout the entire briefing; Gekko didn’t say anything about the locale till the very end & the actual targets. When she said Honeycomb Horizon; all of the dragons instantly started jumping up & high fiving each other again to a straight faced Gekko. When they finally stopped; she closed the briefing to let the dragons go on their merry way. Over in the sweetest of horizons lay acres of unnecessary goodness for the tummy. All natural; this paradise of sweetness was about to have a huge awakening. The starz paid the colony of bees fifty million gems to poison shipments of honey that were being directed to the dragon realms & the elven realms. All the dragons wanted to do was get their slurp on; not today unfortunately. Their goal is to get over to a few sectors & melt all of the shipments; due to bees having heavy flight skills & being extremely territorial, any damage done to their land will create intense retaliation. This mission will test their accurate flying maneuvers learned in the academy. Sha Nai Nay, Spyro, Izzzie & Melta were the top flyers; their main focus will be spent keeping an eye out on everyone as fireballs are flying about to melt the gigantic crates filled to the brim with poisonous honey.
Coming out of the gate, the dragons walk to a ledge looking over an empty valley with a giant bee hive in the center of it. Magically, three eternal falls of honey fall around the hive from the ozone layer. This indicated that they will be messing with Bee Colony Imani; the highest ranked bee hive throughout all of the realms. They weren’t thinking about the danger they were in; they were thinking about all of that honey. Mouths wide open, tongues hanging low, drool pouring out by the pints; the dragons knew they couldn’t just go there for pleasure. It’s a good thing they all vowed to eat before this mission started; they had to stop the temptation of honey before it started. Once the motivational speech took place, the dragons looked throughout the dark night sky at the hive & got into their usual flight formation. Taking one of the many blind spot flights to the hive, the dragons eventually arrive to their sector of interest. At midnight, the bees are mostly sound asleep or enjoying festivities. Tonight; there was going to be an interruption. Even though the bees are beyond top secret with their information; intel led the dragons to the proper location. Standing in an empty lifeless corridor that lacked activity for hours; the dragons discuss which strategy they wanted to follow to take out the loads of honey…
Melta, “Anybody got a straw?”
All of the Dragons, “I wish…”
All of the dragons look at each other with solemn looks…
Freddy, “Silence, we need to focus on which strategy.”
Izzzie, “That’s right, we have to remember the bigger picture here. Safety of generations or food poison across entire realms; out of strategies A, B & C… I feel like B will best suit us, two straight lines across the entire sector. Eight in front, four in the back; Spyro, Melta, Sha Nai Nay & myself in the back. We’ll be behind fifty meters hitting any missed crates you guys didn’t hit & assessing the mission.”
Spyro, “Remember, when money is involved; stakes are much much more high than usual. You must be strong dragons to keep that line straight. Due to greed being able to get its grip on a lot of things at the moment…”
Melta, “That’s right; change in elevation is allowed, keep up with each others’ stride & make sure there are no breaks in formation. The center four will be Cynder, Ember, Phytal & Drake. You guys have to focus all of your attention to the crates; while Flame, Brento, Chloro & Freddy aim for crates but be on the defense when the bees finally send drones out to deal with us. We in the back will do cover to adjust the scenario. Any reason why we should go with a different strategy?”
No one opposes the strategy…
Ember, “Sounds perfect to me, we can handle this…”
Drake, “We will do more than handle this; we will make them regret the deal they made…”
Freddy, “Stop being mean dude; it’s not a good look on you…”
Drake, “I will throw up on you right now…”
Cynder, “Don’t do that…”
Spyro, “No, do it…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Spyro stop!”
Izzzie, “Freddy, mind your business. You’re supposed to be helping us, not creating frustration.”
Drake, “I haven’t beat him up in a while; let me wring him out…”
Freddy, “Wring me out?”
Drake, “Yeah; get my tail around your neck & slam you about…”
Freddy, “When you get that strong; dogs will finally be able to grow wings…”
Drake, “What is that suppose to mean?”
Freddy, “Exactly what it sounds like; when you can get that miraculous, miracles among others will come true. Until then, you ain’t a gangster…”
Drake, “Whatever strawberry shortcake…”
Freddy, “Alright Mr Whimsical…”
Melta, “Yall have issues…”
Spyro, “I still want Drake to throw up on him so I can laugh at it…”
Ember, “Only you would want that…”
Flame, “I would like to see all of that too…”
Izzzie, “Honestly, I want to see it more than them two…”
Melta, “IZZZIE!!”
Izzzie, “Girl; why you screaming?”
Cynder, “You better pipe that down…”
Spyro, “Well, we can do this whenever yall are ready; but do me a favor…”
Everyone looks at Spyro…”
Spyro, “When you up chuck, get Sha Nai Nay in your volley…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I thinks notta…”
Freddy, “Cuz, Sha Nai Nay Jenkins is looking at Spyro with those eyes again…” Addressing Brento while he’s looking over the corridor throughout the hive…
Brento, “I knew it! Yall were planning a wedding last night…”
Spyro, “Yeah; a wedding for your father & real mother to finally unite…”
Brento, “If you’re insinuating that I’m adopted; I will break both of your horns today…”
Spyro, “You go do something about it? In fact, if Sparx was here; I could have him whip out those black market adoption papers…”
Brento, “My father respects me; yours would rather look into the oven than look at your face…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I believe that…”
Spyro, “I also believe he was bought for four gems…”
Brento, “I’m not cheap!”
Spyro, “Well brainiac, you just admitted that you were adopted; happy now?”
Brento stands there with a straight face for a while, while everyone else is smiling except for Freddy…
Freddy, “You’re the color of bridesmaid dresses; good luck with the wedding plans…”

Spyro, “I know you aren’t trying to talk. They call you starlight when you sun bathing on the coast…”
Cynder, “Can we start the mission now?”
Melta, “It’s not time yet…”
Freddy, “They call me stardude actually; I have more star quality in me than your fakely produced video games…”
Spyro, “If they are fake; then why do I see the disks on your bedroom wall?”
Flame, “You have game disks hanging up?”
Freddy, “No…”
Brento, “You haven’t been in anyone’s room; but Ember’s closet…”
Ember, “I don’t have a closet, I have a garage & two attics…”
Drake, “You don’t have to lie Ember; we all know you are not that awesome…”
Ember, “I have a speed boat in my bedroom too…”
Cynder, “I can prove it; cause I’ve been on it…”
Spyro, “What color is it then?”
Cynder, “The same color as you moron…”
Spyro, “Oh…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Don’t act like you’ve never been in her room Spyro!”
Brento, “He be lying all the time!”
Spyro, “I don’t lie; I just give yall things that will make your resume sparkle…”
Flame, “Now that just sounded unnecessary…”
Spyro, “It’s true though, I told Freddy last night that his father wears a jasmine laced house coat when he’s not around, while he was trying to mack on a random group of girls the other day…”
Freddy, “There’s a word for that, it’s called a rooster with a barricade behind it…”
Spyro, “And I’m a pro at it…”
Melta, “Remind me to lose contact with Spyro, when this war is over…”
Chloro, “I heard yall were going to be roommates though…”
Melta, “Heard a lie…”
Chloro, “Be mine then?”
All of the dragons burst out into mild laughter so they don’t bring any attention to where they are…
Izzzie, “How slick of you Chloro…”
Chloro, “Well; everyone else had said something already. I just wanted to speak…”
Cynder, “It would be wise if all males would keep their lips together like this…”
Cynder holds out one of her paws & does a closed mouth gesture…
Sha Nai Nay, “I second that…”
Drake, “Hold on, I feel something coming up…”
Spyro, “DO IT!”
Izzzie, “No; don’t do it yet…”
Chloro, “DO IT NOW DRAKE!”
Cynder, “Yall need to pipe it down on a serious level…”
Spyro, “You nervous Cynder?”
Cynder, “Naw, not really; but I would like for us to start the mission; dialogue much?”
Freddy, “Yes, we like to hear ourselves talk; it’s called being a man…”
Chloro, “Which you aren’t yet…”
Drake, “Yeah, which you aren’t yet…”
Freddy, “Repeat people much?”
Ember, “Freddy, I have a mask for you to put on…”
Izzzie, “GOT HIM!”
Sha Nai Nay, “I swear, when yall go somewhere yall have never been; yall just lose all kind of character…”
Spyro, “That’s what I’m saying, but Freddy is serious about still being a loser…”
Brento, “That’s what Crash Bandicoot said about you last year during the Annual Realm Rallies…”
Spyro, “I wasn’t trying dude; I was just doing it to impress Dalia…”
Ember, “Why; I was the one that wished you good luck that time…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Here we go…”
Freddy, “What’s wrong girl? Ember got dibs on your future husband?”
Sha Nai Nay, “I will body slam you from the east to the west…”
Drake, “I wanna see that…”
Melta, “I think we all wanna see that…”
Izzzie, “OK, formation time; let’s do this!”
Spyro, “Wait…”
Everyone looks at Spyro for a few seconds…
Izzzie, “Well?”
Spyro, “I just wanted yall to look at me…”
Flame, “Let me hold up this invisible mirror…”
Flame holds up an invisible mirror as everyone laughs then takes off of the corridor to get into formation. Pacing themselves for the very long flight; the dragons spend the three mile flight before they actually get to the target zone building up energy. By the time Cynder lets out the first fireball; everyone is in the zone. They are very prepared for the twenty mile flight of the melting of more than seven tons worth of honey. It’s dire that they hit as much as possible for the safety of the dragons & the elves, but more so the elves since they are clueless of the wrong doing of the starz. The dragons did another great deed for the war. Not only being selfless; but making this particular mission fun & showing their true worth to the dragon realms. It simply set them up for the future that their parents were hoping they would have. This time; they definitely proved that they were a unit as they lit more than eighty percent of their target on fire, melting the poison that fifty million gems the starz spent. Even though a great order of retaliation happened with countless amounts of drones trying to stop the dragon order; they still prevailed with a successful mission. Zingers, stingers, tactics & fireballs; the dragons were definitely out numbered but with bravery intact, they settled a huge score with the starz once again.
Floating in the galaxy; a mix of luxurious & beautiful crystals make a powerful home. This home is the size of a three story mansion; but yet, houses power more than three hundred thousand compared to it’s vast beauty. Purple, pink, yellow, green, blue, red, orange, indigo, black, crimson, brown, clear, gray, lavender, turquoise & pine colored crystals make up this huge piece of art. Yet it isn’t art exactly; it’s completely transparent, but if you are lucky enough to go through the terrain; you can see weapons of mass destruction in it. It will be used soon…

Once I'm done typing this; I shall get back to working on Phytal. I have eight more dragons to draw after I'm done with her. She'll be added later on tonight. Here's a quick background into each of these four...

Zaina:
Zaina is the older twin of the new Elder of Fire, "Drendosa". She's thirteen years of age, has specialty powers over meteor & comes through with a breaking meteor on her tail. She's deemed as a special dragon because she has the ability to grow hair. Her locks are luscious & always curly, but this pretty girl dragon can pack a whallop; now that she has gone through intense academy training to be a weapon way before her years. Noticing the mark on her hind legs; it's the sign of Galactic Force. She was born with this mark on her hind legs in full detail & the same mark on the front of her neck with out the inner details.
Zaina's personality is very sweet & humble despite her crimson dangerous scales. She's a very honest, straight forward; but polite dragon who is known for her mental capacity of being able to hold attention through engaging speeches...

Razor:
Razor is the younger twin of the new Elder of Fire, "Drendosa". He came out of his egg two minutes after Zaina came out of hers. His specialty power revolves around blackhole energy & he changed his tail ornament from an actual none active (yes i'm aware i'm typing this as if it's not an official assignment for Language Arts, thanks) black hole to a razor at the age of eight. He's deemed a special dragon because he has the ability to grow hair. He keeps a faux hawk closely in resemblance to Nico Tortorella; where his is shaped to lean toward the right side in the front. Like his sister, he has the same Galactic Force sign on his hind legs & on the front of his neck.
Razor's personality is endearing & charming. He is definitely a black dragon though; even though he seems off putting because of his color, he is very charming towards everyone. "I love the ladies," has been a part of his vocab since he was seven years old...

Chloro:
Chloro is some what of an enigma. He is thirteen years of age & the son of the current leading Armory Consultant, "Lellona". He gets his front leg armor pieces & his tail piece from his mother on occasion. Now to explain the horn on his head; he is a special dragon basically because he has an odd number of horns & one of his horns is on the top center of his head. Some often argue that he was a unicorn in his past life; others say that it's just genetically possible sometimes. He has powers over Weather; where he uses his main horn as a lightning rod. His tail ornament has always been a death scythe; he has been partial to the grim reaper ever since he could make him out through childhood stories. Layers on layers on layers of information could be said about him; but one major consistent thing about him is that he will always keep a monocle over his right eye.
Chloro's personality is shocking & crazy; if given the chance, he will sometimes pretend to be a mental case just to see what psychiatrists will say to him. Deranged he will be; but if anyone asks him to use his powers to make a rainbow, he always does it with out an attitude...

Phytal:
Phytal is thirteen years old & the daughter of a renown sorceress who goes by "Brick". In average; psychic powered dragons come at a ratio of 1:15,000,000. Phytal happened to be the fifteenth one in the current young generation of dragons at this day & age. An automatic special dragon because of that; but another reason why she's considered special revolves around that she has four horns. Although; those four horns have never been seen. Instead, scientists say that her horns are in the form of the halo that has always been above her head. To match her halo; she keeps a ring as her tail ornament. Phytal is aware of her psychic comrades in all of the dragon realm capitals. Due to powerful elder dragons; they are able to communicate with each other at any time just as long as two are in the same realm.
Phytal's personality is based off of kindness & generosity. Whatever she does; she looks peaceful. It's easy to say once you see her white, lavender & yellow body gracefully strolling through cities. She isn't brave enough to self motivate herself to be like Spyro or Sha Nai Nay; but if she is given tools, she can make it work...

Sha Nai Nay:
Sha Nai Nay is a guiding light; so to speak. Her natural power is over light & she uses it often. Significantly; her scales are incredibly smooth but she’s most noticed because she is a golden dragon, out of the ratio of 1:770,000,000. She is of course a special dragon & is the 827,496,102nd golden dragon to have existed. Like the ancient times have in several tablets; golden dragons usually are birthed from orange, yellow or red dragons. Her father; is simply known as Red, the main villain behind A Hero’s Tail. Ever since she found out he was behind the wrong doing; she has spoken to him only once & thinks of never conversing with him again. As far as she’s concerned; “He can stay tiny forever for all I care…” Notice the two scars on her right front leg; she got those years ago battling an evil arena titan by the name of Lord Fate. Occasionally; she'll have dreams about that gigantic battle which saved the Dark Realms three years ago...
Sha Nai Nay’s personality is very high strung, friendly yet childish & sympathetic but snide. She got her code name from hanging around Martin Lawrence & his family a lot from the Human Realms. Once she found out he made a character named Sha Nai Nay in his television show; she has been calling herself that ever since. At times; she will definitely embody that character…

Drake:
Drake is an ordinary dragon; just like Spyro & Flame, he looks like a regular thirteen year old dragon. His tail ornament how ever isn’t ordinary; the tip of this small trident used to sit at the bottom of a statue dedicated to his father. Drake had the tip manipulated so he could wear it for however long he wants. He of course asked for his father’s blessing before he did so; his father is Dragonez. One of the top craft holders out of all of the realms; been that way for nearly two hundred years. He’s a magician who puts on shows for thousands during carnivals but when he’s not performing, he’s one of the most seriously dry personalities you’ll have to deal with. Seriously… Drake’s natural powers reign over Ray; where he can induce other elements & non-elements into ray blasts that can do severe damage. All he has to do is keep up with his father’s training regiments & he could be a great asset to the dragons once he reaches adulthood in his later 70’s…
Drake’s personality is a spitting image of his father’s. He is so serious to the point that you can attempt to make him laugh, but he’ll react incredibly distasteful if he doesn’t know who you are. He barely likes being around any of his peers as it is. Although; Drake has a definite serious side, he does break character when he’s around Spyro & Flame. Being around them; shows a more lighter mood personality; with the smile & laughter a youthful dragon should have…

Ellix:
Ellix is a special dragon with the heavenly gift of growing hair. She’s thirteen, yet already an extremely high commodity to all four regions of the Dragon Realms. Mostly due to the fact that she wears her hair like a human & her horns come straight out into two huge spikes. Also adding to the commodity; she is one of the few dragons that can hone ice powers & still use her flame breath soon after; accented with a small snowflake on her tail which has gained size over the years. She’s a very popular dragon amongst her age group; all of the guys want to be with her because she has a girl factor that is only distinctive to adult dragons. Her sex appeal is major by appearance already…
Ellix’s personality is some what sexy, some what cool & some what honorable. She never shies from honoring what she must; but the way she talks is way beyond her years. It’s natural; she talks like an adultress who is ready for action. Yet; she keeps a youthful cool vibe to who ever she talks to. Also; her vanity is an issue, if she sees a mirror; she’ll spend a lot of time in front of it…

Quinto:
Quinto is a definite special dragon; dragon orbs as tail ornaments have only been on fourteen dragons total. Both of his parents were two lucky dragons who also got those orbs upon birth. His are the faithful color of blue like his parents; they shine & glimmer like sun light dancing on the ocean tide. Other than that, this thirteen year old dragon is often confused for having the ability to grow hair. His box top & box back are simply fins; well connected fins that have always been up right like that. In terms of his body type; he spends a lot of time with older teen dragons, going to gymnasiums to build muscle. His bust is a lot more bigger than Spyro’s; look closely… In terms of his power; he wasn’t graced with his father’s electricity abilities, he was awarded with Oribtal Powers instead. Where he can create any elemental orb & dish it out for major amounts of precise explosions. At this tender age; he can only hone non-elemental energies. When he gets older, he’ll be able to access more elements…
Quinto’s personality can seem dull & slow; even though his birthname is Quickersby & he’s awfully cunning (notice the Japanese tattoo on his wing), he will appear to be a meat head only because he likes to go against the grain. Also; he can’t help but to be slow with how many times he has been zapped by his father. He loves the surge of electricity; it seems to have no effect on him since his father is the new Elder of Electricity. Ever since he was a baby; he has always felt the need to get zapped by his father, you can call him a masochist; but that’s highly unlikely & another subject. He often says it helps him master his slow talking ability; but it has also had a significant pull on his voice. Sounding completely like an adult versus any dragon in his age range up to seventy years old…

Izzzie:
Izzzie is the older twin of an Elite General who goes by the name of “Fusionzo”. Through out the millenniums, the ‘Kevonicus’ family has been know to be militant. That information alone determines how sheltered Izzzie is. Although, it also determines how natural her leadership skills are; a close eye has been kept on her, her whole life. She’s thirteen, has specialty powers over vegetation & has a four leaf clover as her tail ornament; which has lasted all these years. She is considered a special dragon because she has the ability to grow hair. Her entire trail ends at her hind legs; she wears her hair in a braided spiral. The sign of the clover is on her hind legs & she has one tattooed on her right wing.
Izzzie’s personality is something like honey; she’s entirely soothing. She’s a little bit more grounded than her sister; in terms of not being as out going. Yet; she has the natural ability to bring others together. She always says things like, “The truth will set you free…”

Melta:
Melta is the younger twin of an Elite General who goes by the name of “Fuzionzo”. Through out the millenniums, the ‘Kevonicus’ family has been know to be militant. That information alone determines how sheltered Melta is. Although, it also determines how natural her leadership skills are; a close eye has been kept on her, her whole life. She’s thirteen, has specialty powers over electricity & has a light bulb as her tail ornament; she switched it out from her original lightning bolt at the age of seven. She is considered a special dragon because she has the ability to grow hair. Her entire trail ends at her hind legs; she wears her hair in a braided spiral. The sign of a lightning bolt is on her hind legs & she has one tattooed on her right wing.
Melta’ personality is something like electric; she’s a loveable dragon, no doubt. She’s a little more high strung than her sister, but she tends to find the optimism in everything. She has always had the ability to bring other dragons together; she has never been involved in any concrete beef…

Brento:
Brento is the prince of the dragons; sure he’s brown but his distinctive horn pattern & his scale pattern goes right along with the blood line. He’s thirteen years of age, has specialty powers over earth & carries a golden fissure as his tail ornament. Unlike other dragons; Brento has been babied incredibly hard. He hasn’t left the castle grounds since he was born; even though he knows majority of his generation, his father will not let him leave. Not until the order of the war happened & Fusionzo figured out some key words to get Brento involved because of his natural powers.
Brento’s personality sure isn’t sheltered though. He has always had a beef with Spyro & Flame. With a cousin as crazy as Freddy; all he needed was his stories. Not as mentally deranged & free as Freddy, but he will definitely stand up for himself. He is definitely serious; but always stands up for himself…

Freddy:
Freddy is the under prince of the dragons; due to the fact that his father is the under king because he is the twin brother of the king. Conceived at the same time of Brento; Freddy is thirteen years of age, with specialty powers over star & has a tail ornament of a decorated black star. Unlike his cousin, he was free in life. To match is birthname of Freedomlot; not an adventurer at all, but he definitely has a mind of his own. Through out his childhood; he was tormented because his father is the lead chef out of all of the lands. His prime culinary skills revolve around baking, he was known for his bakery promises. He was simply deemed as the baker’s son, jokes on top of jokes on top of jokes. When he turned nine; he finally stood up for himself & has become one of the most deadliest tongues in a snap contest…
Freddy’s personality is definitely free; backed up by his ability to fly, he is not confined to anything. He ensures the feeling of freedom in orders mostly by saying, “My name is Freedomlot; so respect me!” Other than that, Freddy is buck wild!

Dalya:
Dalya is better known as the hero of the Gravitor Region. She’s thirteen years old, has specialty powers over Gemini (the multiplying super power) & has a liberty bell as her tail ornament with a matching locket of a bell around her neck. She’s considered a special dragon because of the ability to grow hair, even more so because of it’s weird color. Although, coming through at a brightened shade of lavender; she is always assumed as a softy. Yet; she is just as hard as Spyro or Sha Nai Nay. Currently; she’s over in the Candy Realms stuck on some drama with a few villains. She’s been MIA ever since the war has started & no one has been able to pin point her exact location. Unlike Spyro & Sha Nai Nay; she hasn’t saved the worlds in the double digits, she has succeeded in at least five advantures of thwarting evil…
Dalya’s personality is kind of hard to pin point; she is definitely mysterious, but mostly sought after because of her beauty. Not really into the vanity thing; she avoids taking compliments by simply saying thank you & changing the subject with hasty intentions. She has a thing for bravery; has always been attracted to it, so she follows it or who ever has it whole heartedly. Her intentions at this early age are to save those in need… She’s the eye candy of Spyro, Quinto, Flame & Drake…

Vital:
Vital is best known for being the young hero of the Mahogany Region. He’s thirteen years of age, has specialty powers over Afterlife/Ghost/Poltergeist/Fantoms if you will & was born with the omega sign as his tail ornament. Hasn’t thought about swapping it out yet; although his symbols on his front legs are completely different; although if you look close enough, you can see eyes & a big mouth of a ghost. Unlike majority of the dragons his age; he was able to tap into his ghost abilities by the age of seven. Being able to go through any kind of matter as if he was a ghost himself; this allowed him to be as sneaky as Flame, but unfortunately; he still can’t take Flame’s title away from him. Like his good buddy Dalya, Vital is unfortunately caught up in villainous capers & their espionage in the Humanoid Realms. He has been MIA since the war has started. Vital has saved the worlds a total of seven times…
Vital’s personality is endearing, charismatic, heart throb type. His girlfriend is Izzzie; he does a great job at sneaking past Fusionzo to get some time with her occasionally. They have been an item since nine years old. His relationship with Izzzie is just as strong as Melta’s relationship with Chloro. He treats everyone as if the golden rule is in effect at all times…

My versions of Spyro, Flame, Ember & Cynder...

Chapter 7 Within Crystals
Although; Heaven mentioned that he doesn’t have a good feeling about this week. The dragons effectively scarred the motions of the starz. Setting them way back beyond anything they could come back from in a short period of time. Drastic actions result in terrible reactions; now that the dragons have fried their plans so to speak, the starz will result in using their most detrimental post to wreck havoc on the dragons. This post has the ability to warp it’s entirety out of the starz realm into any other realm. Stationing itself like a space colony, completely over looking another realm. The dragons don’t need that, especially with the post having the ability to move with teleportation; neglecting any speed mechanisms. It can appear over any of the capitals & rain heavy punishment on them to their desires; in a matter of seconds. This post is called Within Crystals: the Crystal Palace of Starz; the dragons think they have gotten off easy, but with all the sweetness they just experienced; there’s just as much bitterness to match it…
Reporting to Gekko once again; leaves them with another successful mission. They are earning the graces of all of the elders. Although; before they are dismissed, they are informed that they will be embarking on another mission in the next twenty four hours. Intel has it that the starz are digging deep in their retribution pot to end the war today. The dragons can’t seem to figure out exactly what they are getting at; but they are taking the threats very serious. The young dragons go to their tents to rest up while things tense up over in the Starz Realm…
King Holgorr, they say he was once a griffin; when he passed, he became the prince of the stars. He has lived a glorious life, he has lived a great life, he has lived a beautiful life; yet someone so noble can be so prideful. Instead of being logical about his actions; he thinks that the dragons & the elves are disrespecting the starz with their motives of wiping out the crazoids that day. He feels that through out the dozen of millenniums of his universe; that the starz have never sparked harm intentionally. For anyone to feel that the starz will naively go against the humane society is like stabbing any of them in the stomach after smiling to their faces. Holgorr feels as if betrayal has set in; bogus accusations have turned his nobleness into a general. Through out his stay as a spirit; he has been a white star, where the star has spun clock wise on his forehead with his white vapor-ish body leaving a trail of a hulky gladiator. This man was a very strong griffin in his prime; even stronger as a spirit. As a king; he molded all of the nations to be strong entities, he had every man, woman & child train to be strong. Being a spirit is one thing, but being a star is a responsibility & they are commanded to cherish it. His decree is borderline maddening; but substantial…
In regards of the young dragons making nothing out of his latest ploy; he determined that it was time to end the war. Within Crystals is a marvelous tool used to celebrate crystallization & is often used to go around for museum trips. Right now; it’s being prepped to blast the smithereens out of every dragon capital & every elf strong hold. Acting fast as possible; Heaven & Eruptus alongside fourteen other main guardians have taken up the initiative with already taking up eyes on the rumors. Unfortunately; the expendable four young soldiers in their battalion would be used for bait. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro looked at them proudly as they walked through the gate with their heads held high hours before they would eventually have to join them. Only time would tell when the Dragonettes would have to join the already increasing forces & strike at the palace…
At one PM; the dragons were well rested & full, ready for all kinds of action; then the final piece of intel fell on their ears. Gekko told them that their weapon of true destruction was four gigantic cannons being installed to the castle. Which only meant; from heaven with hate, not knowing exactly how big the cannons are; the dragons went to the starz realm blind. Where they rendezvoused with Galileo; one of the main guardians; he’s holding down a strong hold close to the giant space where the Crystal Palace of Starz is located. He told the Dragonettes that the mission is code named Within Crystals because what they need to get to is within those crystals. Zaina, Razor, Ellix & Quinto were there as well; waiting for any commands, they were beyond ready just like the Dragonettes. Words were exchanged as they waited for some action…
Sha Nai Nay, “Well, well, well; looky looky, if it isn’t the Help, the Diverse, the Ready & the Force…”
Ellix, “Here we go…”
Zaina, “Girl; hush it up…”
Spyro, “Hey everyone; what’s happening now, is only a one sixteenth slice of what Sha Nai Nay & I have been going through all these years…”
Sha Nai Nay, “You mean one sixteenth of what only I have been going through all these years. You are not a hero dude…”
Spyro, “Ugh, not again with the lies of a wannabe planeteer…”
Zaina, “Captain Planet, has what to do with this?”
Sha Nai Nay, “I lied that one time when I said I would protect you; today, we’ll see how much of a hero you really are…”
Quinto, “Lying must be your forte then. I remember this one time when you told Dalya that you would take her to the great rainbow & fly her through the yellow part since it’s all sensational. You then said you would take me, that’s been about seven years. Own up or shut up…”
Ellix, Zaina, Razor & Spyro, “QUINTO!”
Spyro, “What are you doing knowing Dalya anyway?”
Quinto, “Dude; we’re dating…”
Spyro, “Not even getting into that; but on to something serious, sounds like we have four large cannons to get rid of…”
Razor, “We haven’t had our eyes on it yet; but there’s been surveillance, I do believe we have our work cut out for us today. Even though Eruptus gave us a get out of soldier free pass for the day.”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “Oh, yall coming…”
Zaina, “We have a choice; I would like to live to see my three hundredth year in life…”
Spyro, “You can’t live unless you face a little danger…”
Ellix, “As far as I’m concerned, there’s more than forty thousand troops lingering around this vicinity. Little is an understatement, if you want to be brave. Go holla at Ember, I’m sure she’ll rise to the occasion…”
Spyro, “E, you know I love you right?”
Ellix, “That’s not the point S…”
Sha Nai Nay, “The point is; we need to get yall four out there with us. By any means necessary; don’t be scared, be brave…”
Zaina, “I will try to avoid being brave for the moment; I don’t want my stuff cut up today…”
Razor, “She’s right; if anyone is going to do some cutting. It’s going to be the guardians, my razor is best saved for the future…”
Spyro, “Best saved for wussiness; how did yall get in this group of four. Granted; I don’t want to be with my father, but goodness. Take advantage of this gift or I’m going to bust everyone’s head right now!”
Sha Nai Nay, “You don’t even know how to do that, Spyro. But I saw you in that movie…”
Spyro, “What are you talking about now, Sha Nai Nay?”
Sha Nai Nay, “The Wuss Games; you were real good, when did you start acting?”
Ellix, “Here we go again…”
Spyro, “Well; let me say something first… If only I cared about gold & the movie was called Spyro the Dragon: All Hero!”
Everyone laughs except for Sha Nai Nay…
Sha Nai Nay, “Yeah, straight to dvd…”
Galileo, “Hey, everyone get over here!”

All of the Dragonettes & the HDRF go the room where Galileo is; huddled up & realizing action was going to commence soon, they waited patiently. Galileo began speaking as soon as all of the young dragons were in the room surrounded by other guardians. He went into detail about what needs to be done in the next thirty minute to stop the palace from teleporting, to get to the cannons & to dismantle all four of them. All they had to do were follow two particular guardians as they made waves through the troops in space. Unfortunately, the pass the HDRF had has been revoked because it’s mandatory that they go along with the two guardians. All they had to do was wait for them to return to the strong hold again. Sha Nai Nay, Izzzie, Melta & Spyro began building morale for their comrades while going over plans of what would really happen once they get into the palace. Floor plans might be available but with all the action that’s going on; only four dragons may be a sure in for the dragons. Then they came; Heaven & Eruptus flew to the strong hold & went to meet Galileo as quick as possible. When they got the game plan from him; they knew exactly what they needed to do even though Heaven was very reluctant on doing something with his own son. The dragons began to follow suit as soon as Heaven & Eruptus finally took flight for the palace…
Initially; Eruptus led the pack off, commanding everyone to stay closely together because of the many troops out there fighting with other guardians & other dragon allies. Their eyes were peeled as their hearts began to beat faster. All they could see was Eruptus in front of them with a giant particle cannon & a pretty impressive beam sword. Dissolving starz almost instantaneously upon getting to them; Spyro on the other hand wasn’t friendly about his father bringing up the rear with his beam double saber. Breathing & stopping every now & then; the dragons were itching closer & closer to the palace. Relying heavily on the guardians to make it all happen; here & there, occasional troops would lead a little might to the giant pack making strides to the palace. The young dragons also shot out fire balls in impressive tactics to keep their time bracket open as possible once they got to the doors. Seventeen minutes of heavy combat; they were finally there, no star in site; Heaven & Eruptus looked up at the door & took out a device. It took five minutes for the device to open up the door; but before it finally opened, an ambush of starz appeared from over the front walls. A total of fifty eight of them; most of them vanished within three minutes, almost twenty five of them instantly to the power of Heaven. The young dragons simply reacted with a, “WELL HAM!!” They helped in getting rid of the rest but after they all vanished; they still were in awe of what Heaven did with just one power swipe of his double beam sword. Spyro on the other hand was on the ground laughing & rolling as if he wasn’t at the threshold of the Crystal Palace of Starz. Once the door finally opened; he adjusted himself & ran into the palace with the rest of the dragons. Heaven has been in the palace a total of forty seven times; he already knows the palace, all he had to do was pin point the halls that would lead to where the cannons are being constructed. Through those halls lied action upon action; amazingly, the young dragons kept up with the two guardians as they survived volley upon volley of star energy. Even though the beauty of the palace was being totally ignored; sights from outside of the palace could be seen through the transparent walls. All of the lights significantly brought out the beauty of the center of the battlefield. Within Crystals; the dragons were about to get a rude awakening!
Coming to the Demolition Room; the dragons were going down the hallways fast. From behind; a small group of starz tried to stop them. Immediately; Eruptus jumped behind to guard the young dragons from the sudden blasts. Followed by Heaven leaping over him to take them out; Eruptus told the young dragons to go ahead into the room, they would follow suit soon. As soon as the dragons got to a certain spot; a huge crystal door slammed behind them. Phytal looked back instantly & could tell that a trap has been set. Then she looked up; quickly, five more crystal doors dropped after she leaped out of the way. All the dragons could do were look back in shock; adrenaline was surely set, but from the looks of it; Phytal could tell that other crystal doors sealed both Heaven & Eruptus in a tight spot. Sha Nai Nay, Izzzie, Melta & Spyro all reminded them they all had a mission & needed to get to the Demolition Room to handle business. Words were exchanged; the big boys ensured the kids that they would be ok & to take those cannons out because innocents rely on their actions in the next thirty minutes…
Izzzie & Melta had to think quick; right around the bend were the cannons & they need to make sure the teams were set right. With Zaina, Razor, Ellix & Quinto being nervous about every little thing they were doing; Izzzie & Melta needed to rely on Sha Nai Nay & Spyro to get them in gear. When they agreed on a plan, Izzzie told everyone about the tactics. From her perspective, if the dragons aren’t being prepped the way they think it is; to follow Razor & Quinto’s lead with ultra amounts of damage to one cannon till it’s dismantled completely. Then to finish off the next till they are gone. There’s only one problem, Michaelangelo is in the center of the room with several architects scheming ways of powering the cannons to the highest capacity possible…
Michaelangelo is a powerful spirit with powers of Hexen spells. All he need is four words & four gigantic hands will do his bidding. His star is in the color off red orange; it spins counter clock wise on his chest. Indicating he is high ranking amongst the power allegiance of the starz. His misty form is around the height of five feet, five inches. Yet; he looks incredibly stocky & well prepared for any physical altercations. One thing symbolic about him are his eyes; they are magenta. They phase in & out, bright to dark every five seconds. You can say he looks quite demonic with those bright eyes of his; but this good guy will stand behind the king of starz at any time…

When the dragons all file into the gigantic room; some notice the cannons, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro notice Michaelangelo. It was quite quaint…
Spyro, “Boy oh boy; the day I would have to battle Ole Angelo. Remember how we used to joke about this a few years back?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Nope; but do you remember that time when Ole Angelo took us riding on stars in the Kale section?”
Freddy, “What are yall talking about?”
Spyro, “We are talking about that dude right there, the one with the orange star on his chest…”
Michaelangelo turns around as he notices the chatter, “I didn’t request more troops… Well I’ll be a stuffed sock puppet; if it isn’t a group of dragons here to burn out the party…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Are you making those cannons more strong than they should be Ole Angelo? You & your power tricks…”
Michaelangelo, “I need some Robitussin…”
Spyro raises one eye brow, “For what?”
Michaelangelo, “I’m about to be sick; it’s going to be heroes versus a hero. There’s nothing good about this.”
Sha Nai Nay, “Well, on the other hand; you could’ve had to deal with Heaven or Eruptus.”
Michaelangelo, “Well; I have a score to settle with Eruptus; so that would’ve been cool…”
Flame, “Hello; the name is Flame, what kind of score would that be?”
Michaelangelo, “One involving a gigantic arm wrestling contest; who loses is the man to die…”
Flame, “Ouch, well; I guess I have to say good bye to my father for once…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro start falling out laughing instantly at what Flame said…
Michaelangelo, “What’s wrong with them?”
Freddy, “That’s Eruptus’ only son & it’s obvious they find it funny…”
Then Michaelangelo starts falling out laughing with Flame following suit. The rest of the dragons & the other starz in the room start looking at one another with confused looks on their faces…
Chloro, “What I would do for a small pack of strawberry jam right now…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Tch; why did you have to ruin a good moment?”
Spyro, “Flame, up top!” Spyro goes for a high five & it’s quickly accepted by Flame…
Sha Nai Nay, “That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever ever ever ever heard in my life!”
Michaelangelo, “Oh man, well that was funny as it gets. Although; it’s time to cut the chitter chatter, I gotta make sure you guys don’t harm these precious cannons…”
Spyro, “How precious are they?”
Michaelangelo, “Precious enough to want to have them in a jewel box as collectibles, as soon as you shrink them like Katarzyna’s father…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Screw you Ole Angelo, let’s get it on!”
Izzzie & Melta, “Finally!!”
Izzzie, “SOUTH EASTERN CORNER, COUNTER CLOCK WISE; DO IT!!”
Upon command; the starz watch the dragons run & enter flight in the gigantic room to break the cannons apart. Michaelangelo sends a message to any general outside of the palace to send in reinforcements as fast as possible. Razor & Quinto began to build up power with Phytal, Drake, Freddy & Brento protecting them. The other dragons deliberately took on the starz in the vicinity while preparing to face any reinforcements who might come through. Two minutes into the heated brawl in the center of the palace powered down one of the cannons. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro were joining forces best to their abilities to tango with Michaelangelo. Their fight in the center of the room show cased rays of light with four gigantic hands barreling through powerful funnels of wind & fire. The three of them knew each other; the fight between them was much bigger than how Razor & Quinto kept executing cannon after cannon in two minute intervals. They seemed to have a lock on the situation as they got down to the last cannon. Michaelangelo then had to turn his attention to every dragon in the room since all of the other starz were incapacitated. Going to drastic measures; he began to use a spell Sha Nai Nay & Spyro know nothing about. Out of the floor; four more hands birthed, four huge crystal hands. Ember knew exactly how to counter this situation; but she needed the power that Phytal, Drake, Freddy & Brento were providing Razor & Quinto. Things were beginning to fall under the favor of Michaelangelo; as the four new much bigger & powerful hands kept double slapping Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. Chloro, Cynder, Izzzie, Melta, Flame, Zaina & Ellix were victims of the double slapping as well; Ember, finally with bravery; bravely heads for Michaelangelo instead of the hands. Disappearing five feet in front of him & as soon as he notices her; she disappears instantly to escape the giant fist making a bee line to intercept her. Right into the fist she went; then Michaelangelo couldn’t control that hand anymore. It started sinking to the floor fast, as soon as it hit the ground; a giant dragon head in the form of Ember’s emerged & swallowed Michaelangelo. Encased in the ground he was; nothing he could do but try to punch his way out of the ground. He was at least thirteen feet into the palace floor, everyone looked at Ember once she materialized again. Not realizing how successful she was; they kept congratulating her & telling her good job. Spyro had to bite his tongue for once; all Ember could do was blink her eyes flirtatiously at him. Then the last cannon was down; success!
Trying to leave the palace the way they came, they eventually ran into Eruptus & Heaven. They did a head count & surprisingly; Heaven had to bite his tongue. All of the dragons then hastily escaped the castle; due to only eighteen of them, they survived a great ordeal & stopped a massive attack. A celebration was definitely in order for them, they returned home with all of the troops & the casualties. Things were kind of grim; but pretty high at the time. Just a few casualties aren’t as drastic as entire cities being wiped out by those dangerously huge cannons. Chloro took a few snap shots with his electronic monocle; so he could show them to generals & intel after they get back to Gravitor. Once in front of Gekko again; the dragons were awarded with a successful mission. Although, this time; Gekko gave them a giant group hug as her eyes teared up. Like usual; Spyro raised one eye brow…

Chapter 8 Some Real Good News
Tides have been changed even more for the forces of the dragons. The young soldiers have had several missions in the past few days. Gekko has had them help out a dragon post over in Super Fogged Valley, use an ancient secret to change fate once again at the Ice Creek, destroyed a giant machine being built by the elves over in Mantis Columns, to venture into Mirror Land to learn why Ember was able to use the crystal palace in her favor & they have successfully help keep a yearly tradition of the Dragon Celebration moving forward. With their recent stints in history; repairing the king’s float that glided through the air to show a sense of pride for the dragons, building morality & to prove that all hope isn’t lost; made the elders open their eyes to the young soldiers yet again. Even though the most dangerous battle was considered to be at the Crystal Palace of Starz; the dragons still treated one another like their peers & as if it wasn’t as serious as Gekko made it out to be on a daily basis. Everything seems to be riding on the decisions of the generals, the king & the under king; but the young soldiers that are being led by Izzzie & Melta seem to be allowing Sha Nai Nay & Spyro to keep a hold on their psyche for the moment. The youngsters may not always get along, but their history with each other through the years has made a strong bond regardless. This bond is proving to be great for the elders as Razor, Zaina, Ellix & Quinto are being well kept as well…
On a beautiful sunrise to a Thursday morning; the young dragons wake up to yet another feast & are finally faced with something Gekko promised them for a week now. HONEY! It took her a while to get the amount they wanted; but good soldiers deserve a reward during war times, at times. For weeks; the dragons have avoided taking lives of any measure. Their actions always come with a humble reaction once they have thwarted their supposed foes at the time. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro have taught them survival tactics that the army didn’t cover. Due to their usual ways of heroism, they feel like good can be done without any actual harm taking place. Sure flame breath, some fireballs & horn ramming can leave bruises; the ultimate end has never been conceived in their minds. There’s a since of innocence Sha Nai Nay & Spyro have kept over the years throughout their many realm saving adventures. Their supposed speech to their buddies & comrades was a bit farfetched, eyes rolled but they got the gist of what was being said. Every day; the youngsters take heed to what Sha Nai Nay & Spyro have spread to them only to ensure their safety & their honor to the elders. The gift of honey from Gekko didn’t go unnoticed; before they sat down & ate their breakfast, they found her first to thank her even though Sha Nai Nay & Spyro didn’t think it was necessary. Once again; Gekko’s eyes lit up & a huge group hug captured all of them with Spyro raising an eye brow.
This day couldn’t have started off better; five past days of busy work out the cutlass left the dragons just ready for another mission. There was no news of things happening; even though the HDRF was nowhere to be found, because it’s top secret information; everything seemed at a hiatus. No orders, no troops training, no worries in the air it seemed; the youngsters with the rest of the population of the Gravitor Capital relaxed & enjoyed an easy morning to a much light hearted afternoon. The youngsters ended up at Izzzie & Melta’s to brainstorm again, the information they got from Ice Creek & Mirror Land only fueled them to find out who the real culprit behind the alteration of reality was.
During their exploits of Ice Creek; the dragons had to undergo an infiltration of a secret domain in the gnorc realms that housed an ancient set of entities. In order to access this area; they needed to find a rare gate that would transport them to it from the elven realms. Gekko is undoubtedly powerful; but access to the gnorc realms is mighty limited, she knows of a lot of secret ways to get around & fortunately; the easiest way was through the elven realms where there were no enemies to get in their way. Once at the targeted area; the Snowland was in the middle of light snowfall. It was beautiful; yet the creek still had water flowing through out it, the dragons hopped their way across the stone beds below the hills to get to their point of interest. Staying as out of sight as possible; they needed to stay in the direct creek bed in order to be undetected. They spent hours in the beautifully shivering atmosphere poking fun at one another & having completely random conversations till they arrived at the Wall of the Ancients. In its pure entirety, it’s an arched seventy five foot by seventy five foot curved all way down below the creek bed where the water doesn’t flow. Looking down inside of it; you can notice beautiful white glowing ivory bricks on the floor that light up the area. On the actual wall; you can either see a small display of cave man artwork, a lot of cave man artwork or no forms of early civilization. The day the youngsters set their eyes on this wall; it was their faces they were looking at, from the jump. Raising all red flags as possible; the dragons go down into the pit to start the ceremony to summon the ancient entities. Helios, Lismonia, Ariadne, Xochiphilli & Oenone were summoned as directly by simply saying their names in that order. It took them a brief moment for their raspy voices to clear & acknowledge the presence of who they have been waiting for. A very long & intense conversation lasted for more hours as the dragons were determined to find out who was the cause of the alteration of reality. The ancients then went on to ask them what they really wanted after three hours of discussing the trouble of the realms. To where Phytal, without skipping a beat; immediately asked about the spell that the elves were casting during the day of a massive crazoid genocide. Xochiphilli answered Phytal with the exact same spell that the elves spoke & chanted many of times but the elves had the proper equipment to make it work. Repeating after him on his command; Xochiphilli had all of the dragons repeat what he said down to the very last line. Then the dragons repeated it amongst themselves; only eight lines of treachery would be what the elves used. Once they said the spell; Izzzie & Melta both walked out of line to stand in front of Phytal. Feelings were not so high; but steadily moving likes a rollercoaster. They got a huge answer; but that was not the information the elders were looking for. In all due generosity; the youngsters bid a fare well to the ancients & left them at peace to the sights of the wall losing all of the artwork that was brilliant before their eyes; on their way back to the homestead, the dragons needed to come up with a lie to cover their butts from what they thought would be the elders ripping them all to shreds. Sha Nai Nay commenced one of her eighteen mile long stories & prepped everyone with it by telling them exactly what to say if they were questioned about it. In trouble they thought they were, but it actually turned out to be smooth sailing once they got back to the homestead…

On thin ice the dragons were; but Gekko had cut them slack since the Wall of the Ancients is kept out of all history books. All she could do was be happy that they all returned safely. Then the youngsters were free to roam for a while; while commands were being passed around about Mirror Land to where the Dragonettes would be the lucky battalion that would secure this mission. In the snow the youngsters went again; yet again to a place they have never heard of. Excitement ran through out their little dragon DNA; but they all know it was an important mission. Since they failed to secure information about true intentions of the Starz & the Elves; they had to go to & see someone about far life powers. The dragons were to learn why Ember surprisingly saved everyone during the Within Crystals mission. Ember might be the most light hearted, sappy young dragon there is; but what lies underneath it all is a giant heart. When her friends are in danger; she’ll pull out all of the stops her mother taught her when she was much younger. A firm grip on her powers she has; but during the Mirror Land mission, the other dragons were to learn a little more intense means of control. During heavy snowfall & nightfall; the dragons had to traverse through the giant terrain to create the dragon mark, gather major pieces, navigate Shatter Way & locate the Magic Mirror. Everything was simple until they had to find the Magic Mirror. Located within the confines of a huge mirror is a layer of a mirror that is a bit different from the rest of the mirrors of the land. This huge mirror is located on the side of a huge mirror infused windmill. On the south side of the windmill is a huge mirror that takes up the entire side & on that mirror is a shape of an octagon in the color of slight yellow. Very hard to see at any given time, very hard to find period since the entire region is pretty much mirror. When finally found within a small abandoned town; the dragons searched high & low for the slight yellow mark on the huge wall. It took them forty five minutes to find it; Chloro simply got tired of searching so he took a photo of the mirror with his electronic monocle & changed it around to where he could see any shades of pigments. In a matter of minutes; Chloro had everyone looking at the bottom right corner of the windmill wall. He touched it & a head started to emerge from the wall. This head looked like the normal size of a regular human's; eventually an entire shape of a human was looking at the dragons, standing still with his arms crossed. He addressed himself as Odiemus; everyone looked at Ember since she obvious already has the smarts of the situation. Ember explained the situation with controlling her powers & she wished that the magic mirror would guide them to the control. Warnings were said; but before he could finish, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro were fighting for first in line. Well; it wasn’t really a turned based scenario, before the dragons knew it; Odiemus was telepathically connecting to the dragons to show them a few things about why Ember did the thing that she did.
Spyro, “Yup; Instant Hurricane is gonna be used today!”
With a new sense of thought processing; the youngsters were able to put their powers to better use it seemed. They figured; since they have the smarts now, they might as well test it. Odiemus told them it wasn’t a good idea to just test them right away since they are in Mirror Land. He told them there is no reason to test; they were already powerful young dragons, all they had to do was believe in their selves. Blatantly speaking to everyone but Sha Nai Nay, Ember & Spyro; Odiemus eventually went back into the Magical Mirror. Then Spyro created a hurricane; it disappeared, every bit of the snow. Now they know why it’s called Mirror Land; high in the sky the dragons began to make haste back to the gate to return to Gravitor.
Those two significant days meant a lot to the dragons; now they are held up in the mansion trying to figure out how they are going to pin the spell on Princess Vizion. Brain storming hour after hour on this marvelous afternoon seemed to get them nowhere, they had no hardcore proof & they didn’t want to get on Gekko’s bad side. At 2:41 pm, they began to make their way back to the capital; off in the distance, they could see a large transport unit with a huge carrier behind it. They all noticed it but really didn’t pay it attention since they needed to get back to be a part of the Autumn Festival. Yes; it’s the first day of fall & the dragons are celebrating it like they always do. Once they make it to the festival grounds, they are calmed by the serene scene of browns, oranges & yellows. They make haste to get on the ferris wheel; it was huge, at least four hundred feet high. The tallest ferris wheel of all the dragon lands. Melta & Chloro get into a cart by themselves so they could chat it up about their budding relationship for some reason. Mostly everyone else got into other carts in a group while they all made fun of Melta, Chloro, Brento & Freddy for being coupled about it. They were on their second way around when they were at the top & noticed a star carrying a large cannon that looked awfully familiar. AWFULLY!

Izzzie, “Girl; what the heaven is that over there?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Everybody, GET READY!”
Spyro, “This is going to turn out to be one those days…”
Unfortunately the dragons had to burst out of their carts in order to prep for a battle; Melta, Chloro, Brento & Freddy eventually follow suit after they feel the rumble of the doors bursting on the adjacent carts. Her name is Nivea; one of the main guardians of the starz, specially crafted & trained in the art of war; her entire life has been the making of a prodigy. She is almost untouchable & today; she is a one woman sneak attack meant to destroy as much of the Gravitor Capital as possible…
Brickhouse Nivea, she was a famed R&B singer centuries past from the humanoid realms; when she passed, she became one of the most marvelous starz in history. She has lived a glorious life, she has lived a great life, she has lived a beautiful life; for a lady, she sure have worked against odds to become one of the top five beings in today’s time. Martial arts training in Tai Ji Qaun, Krav Maga, Vale Tudo, Ninjitsu, Tengu do, Fu Jow Pai, Eagle, Wrestler & Transcendental styles; studying mostly ways of ending fights in a quick instant with blows directed to joints & jugulars. Her power source seems to be a mix of Titanus, Plasma & Sound; a truly brutal combination that accentuates her true physical prowess, intensifies light energy & having the ability to serenade any being will always come in handy. Although her appearance doesn’t reflect a usual color scheme of magenta, pink or lady like colors; Nivea is pure crimson with white calves. A powerful mesh on her lower body, her counter clockwise spinning star is located on her back & is in the color of black. She retains a mighty hair length of five feet that glitters & sparkles in the colors of a starry night sky. Lastly; her eyes glow a powerful white & gleam as if they are always piercing spirits. She might’ve started off as a yellow orange star; but the more powerful she became, the more dark crimson she became. What she does in her afterlife is directly related to the honor she has for the starz…
Coming over the wall simply gliding with the initial bright orange crystal cannon floating over her would be right shoulder; she simply looks like she means business. Her first target; the ferris wheel, BLAM! One regular shot from the giant cannon went through the main joint of the ferris wheel & it began rolling with many dragons inside of the carts. Unfortunately; the only elder around was Gekko, she stopped the huge ferris wheel though; while the youngsters were flying in the direction of Nivea. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro made everyone stop to brief them about Nivea. Unlike Michaelangelo; there needed to be some information disclosed about this star. At the same exact time…
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO!”
Sha Nai Nay, “She is about to go ham; by all means, use every ounce of your will to take her down or else!”
With a sudden surge of fear; the youngsters were clearly not ready for this battle. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro could feel it as they looked at all of them.
Spyro, “Yall go take care of evacuation & let us handle Nivea…”
Izzzie, “OH MY LORDY! That’s Nivea? Everyone! Let’s clear out the capital now!”
Melta, “Guys take the west, girls; let’s get the east!”
Still approaching the inner capital, Nivea floats at an alarming speed with that giant cannon blasting as many times as it allows. Taking out buildings left to right, trying to get the judicial branch & the palace at the center; Nivea was uncontrollable. By the time Sha Nai Nay & Spyro got to her; they were trying to figure out a good plan to thwart her without damaging any more architecture. Remembering that she only has one weakness; they result to using banter about her past life career to try to distract her as much as possible while they try to look out for some kind of ice power up. In the mean time; they are trying to maneuver around so that most of her blasts are targeted to go skyward instead of downward. Successfully distracting her; Sha Nai Nay & Spyro finally figured out a good way to get rid of the cannon. Once the first cannon was dismantled into three pieces; Nivea simply snapped her right fingers & the second cannon came flying at high speeds from outside of the capital walls. Spyro rolled his eyes as Gekko came to their side.
Gekko, “Assessment?”
Spyro, “Nivea…”
Gekko, “Any ups on her yet?”
Sha Nai Nay, “I think she has the cannons from the palace; we just dismantled one of them, but we need ice to shut her down before she uses the other two…”
Gekko, “I can arrange that; just hold her off & keep her from damaging as much as possible. I’ll be back shortly…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “We’ll be up here!”

Gekko flies off to find the closest permanent ice power up she can. Nivea has the second cannon in her possession; all black with the number two stenciled on it. Instead of firing off right away, she uses some of her own power. A massive fall of stars came from the clouds on to the area. Making Sha Nai Nay & Spyro result to dodging them instead of watching her; during this volley, Nivea blasted a complete block of buildings & continued to move forward to the central palace. Once the stars stopped falling, she could sense that they were on her way back to her. Almost taking her attention completely off of Gekko but not quite fully allowed Gekko to almost get close in enough to slash through her torso; but Nivea dodged the impressively fast attack with enough momentum to leave the cannon untouched as well. Gekko continued to dodge blasts from the giant cannon while keeping her distance because Nivea was using her sound powers to hypnotize anyone who gets within a certain range of her. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro came from behind with fireballs, scorching Nivea’s backside. Then Gekko launched an ice beam, decreasing her momentum by a good bit. Nivea started to laugh; then the three dragons noticed a change in energy. Before Sha Nai Nay & Spyro could fly away as fast as possible, Nivea hastily sped through the air to stomp both of them to the ground & attempt to do it on Gekko. Gekko was fast enough to dodge the several attempts. At least until Nivea stopped appearing from above & descending at one hundred miles per hour to go into a series of trading blows while the cannon seemed to be powering up on its own. Nivea & Gekko were going at it hard; fighting each other in the sky, Spyro entered flight again once he got off of the ground & sent a wind blast to knock the cannon off of its source. Nivea felt it; then she had no choice but to do something to Gekko to get back to the cannon. With a few power hits; she got the best of Gekko then swung her by the tail into a building below them. Grabbed the cannon & then launched a sure fire powered up blast that decimated one eighth of the capital.
Sha Nai Nay knew something bad happened when the blast from the cannon was much bigger than before. With intense means; she controlled her powers enough to send a thinned lazer through the cannon to blow out the back of it. It was out; Nivea snapped her fingers again, the third cannon was on its way. A nice magenta color with a three on it; Nivea was mad at this moment but with her keeping the distance from the dragons, they couldn’t tell. Nivea began to put her titanus powers to use more. A lot of the debris she already brought upon the capital began to float, one pebble at a time. The cannon began to build up energy more as she blew up more buildings. Sha Nay Nai, Gekko & Spyro had to come up with a solution; there were no other elders around to support them. Gekko threw the ice power up to both of them so they could do what they knew could hinder her situation. Now; the playing field is even, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro had a short conversation about throwing ice balls & light balls. Bingo; they were hitting the six, all of the ice out there from the elder & the youngsters seemed to keep Nivea from blasting the ground more. Over a span of a few minutes; the third cannon was finally dismantled. Summoning the fourth only meant that drastic times call for drastic measures. The white fourth cannon was her last ditch effort to get to the center of the capital so she could hit her target. She tried to move as grand as she could to get a clear shot at the palace. Unfortunately, the dragons were in her way; eventually she started to ascend higher while defending against the dragons. By this time; the evacuation was nearly complete. The Dragonettes were closing out all of the population they could find to the closest gates. A few of them were circling three or more gates, making sure the injured got out first. Then when no one else was thought of being in the confines of the capital; they started to fly to the area where Nivea was to offer support to Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. Nivea was high enough in the sky at this point to blast a crater where the palace is structured. Gekko knew what she was doing; Gekko beckoned Phytal to talk to her telepathically so that she could get a message to the other dragons. Ember needed to be supported so that she could try to reflect the giant blast or the youngsters could all try to blast it to make it explode in mid air. They needed to think fast because Nivea was denying Sha Nai Nay, Gekko & Spyro to the point of no return. She took aim & with all the might she could muster into the overly powerful cannon, let out a precise shot that would level the entire palace & the judicial surroundings. Six thousand feet in the air with obvious amounts of energy showing the lands where it’s being harnessed looked entirely scary. It looked like the clouds showed an evil face in the sky as the shot left the long barrel. As the shot traveled downward to the palace; the sky turned charcoal with the clouds moving into a funnel. The blast turned from dark blue to white as it moved through the air creating several shockwaves along its path. The youngsters below got the idea of trying to blast the blast from the cannon in hopes of making it explode in the air. They lined up around the palace, made the decision to try to block it with their powers. One by one the dragons focused as precisely as they could & released strong rays of explosive powers in hopes of that the target as white as it is; won’t hopefully get to its target. Their powers spiraled to Nivea’s; spiraled & spiraled & spiraled & spiraled…

Chapter 9: Times
Spiraling, spiraling, spiraling, spiraling; time seemed to prepare to halt. The ten dragons below watched hoping that what they planned for would happen; Sha Nai Nay, Gekko & Spyro were still trying to damage Nivea to the best of their abilities. Desperately hoping that some generals would come back from their missions to help out with the scenario, they were able to keep her busy again. They weren’t able to keep her from charging though, but when the powers finally reached the oblong orb of destruction; they collided immensely. The orb pushed downward again & again; the power of the young dragons were enough to fight it so it seemed. They held their own for a while; then the dragons started to send up fireballs to help their energy out. Eventually their powers formed an orb & then it eventually turned into a giant oblong orb as well. Nivea didn’t like this; she was hell bent on destroying that palace & with her impressive ways of always getting her way, her head was about to explode. Nivea’s embrace somehow increased it’s power ten fold in a matter of seconds. The fourth cannon was back at it’s maximum; she aimed the cannon after knocking the dragons back to shoot another oblong color changing orb to hit the palace. Gekko couldn’t allow this to happen, teleporting right behind the young dragons powers; she threw out every ounce of energy she had to make them explode.
If you have never heard a cloud cry; today, when rays of light bounce off of a shield of blackness; is when clouds of all kind get ripped apart by the energy Nivea possessed. Successfully; the giant orb the dragons some how created was strong enough to hold the first shot. When Gekko flew underneath the orbs & released a wave of energy that came from the ground much faster than the projectiles Nivea shot. Once that huge wave of shielded energy touched the dragon’s orbs, everything exploded. In the explosion, the concussion some how made the second projectile explode. The light decimated all of the clouds, there were none in sight. The buildings below all felt the rumble & walking inside any, there was a sense of disarray. The young dragons surely helped; but the best out of it all destroyed the fourth cannon in the uproar. Nivea, no where to be seen after all of the light dissipated; Gekko was on the ground unconscious.
After the passing of several hours; the young dragons were debriefing the generals & elders. Giving them all details about the sudden one woman ambush of one of the Top 5; the dragons did not feel safe at all, but the Autumn Festival was perfectly ruined. Nivea did at least one thing she was asked to do; although her main objective was the central palace, her optional mission was to cause as much distraught if not destroying the festivities. With no spirit in sight; the dragons seemed defeated, on the other hand our young soldiers were in high spirits & ready to go. Gekko came out of the infirmary unscathed & ready to take on the next mission. They dodged a huge bullet or two, so to speak; once repair crews were disbatched to repair the damaged capital, Gekko had orders to brief the young dragons for a new mission so they could get rid of their still; over zealous feelings from earlier.
Over night; all of the Dragonettes sleep off a little of the adrenaline to get rested. Adrenaline was on point to them all except for Sha Nai Nay & Spyro; they were used to close calls like that. They were just mad that the festival was put down & they lost their chance at the leaf design contest. They kept their anger all through out their slumber & woke up saying how they wish they could have had the chance to prove how great their designs were going to be this year. Psych! First thing in the morning the dragons got their usual feast & had to report to Gekko instantly for the final briefing. Scheduled for a little fun & ice; the dragons won’t be taking their frustrations out on the starz just yet. Over in Jungle Chillers, the dragons will get to take out a strong elven camp meant to train new soldiers. Usually, Jungle Chillers is a private domain for them but with what Sha Nai Nay & Spyro; it won’t be so private. They are still hot; in fact, they haven’t said much wise cracks the entire morning. Drake is thinking he’s not the serious one anymore; he’s still high from saving a sanctioned building & helping evacuate so many of the citizens. The Dragonettes enjoyed that the briefing wasn’t that long; but Gekko broke character & gave them all a giant group hug before dismissing them this time. The dragons made haste to the gates shortly after…

There is no snow in sight; just a huge gaping horizon of icicle platforms thousands of feet above a huge river. Instead of taking flight; which they know isn’t a good idea because archers could spot them at any given time, the dragons decide to hop on the platforms to take a long ride. For some reason; the Dragonettes are in a hyper mood & decide to have a conversation about ice cream…
Melta, “I could go for some triple chocolate ice cream right now…”
Chloro, “We can share a bowl; I’ll buy it for you later on today…”
Ember, “And when did you get money, money bags?”
Chloro, “I was born into it; in fact, I could get you some of that new flavor. It’s called the Wind of Spyro…”
Spyro, “Don’t say my name right now…”
Chloro, “Why do you have a chip on your shoulder? Oh my bad, I guess you aren’t too old to enter a contest aimed towards children…”
Spyro, “Yet, you trying to treat your dame like one…”
Chloro, “A bowl of ice cream is a sweet gesture, which is something you need but I guess your father neglected you of that…”
Spyro, “At least I have one…”
Chloro, “Alright Mr Test Tube…”
Spyro, “Whatever Sire My Little Pony…”
Melta, “Spyro, do we have to call your father?”
Phytal, “Please don’t do that, we need to be focusing on if we are going to see any of the elves who were perpetrators…”
Cynder, “If you want, I could get you some strawberry ice cream; let the grown folks handle that situation.”
Sha Nai Nay, “They don’t know the information we have; so you just need to shove a pint of lime down your throat & stop trying to evade an adventure.”
Spyro, “That’s right; grab your nads girl!”
Cynder, “I will end you…”
Izzzie, “I would like a pint of caramel all to myself…”
Spyro, “But would it want you back?”
Chloro, “You need to lighten up; still upset at that time your father dropped you into the trash can?”
Spyro, “I’m not in the mood for your five year old trivial inadequacities…”
Brento, “You can’t talk about anyone; you’ve been adolescently quiet all morning. Izzzie, give that boy a leaf or something…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Let me roll my eyes real quick…”
Flame, “Speaking of ice cream…”
Freddy, “Aren’t you the late one?”
Flame, “Izzzie, you have some peach in your freezer at the mansion right?”
Izzzie, “I’m tired of you calling it a mansion…”
Flame, “Well it is, girl!”
Izzzie, “You’re not getting any now…”
Flame, “Says who? MELTA!?!”
Melta, “I’m standing next to you, don’t scream my name again; you only get one of those a day…”
Flame, “I will take you away from Chloro…”
Chloro, “And I will turn you into a peach…”
Drake, “I could go for some dolphin flavored ice cream…”
Everyone stares at Drake with their mouths wide open…
Drake, “It ain’t my fault Breyer’s made that flavor…”
Freddy, “It’s called pineapple; why are you being such a dweeb?”
Drake, “I get it from you…”
Spyro, “I would really like it if everyone would just keep their traps closed the entire ride across this gap…”
Cynder, “Seems like you have a gap in your personality today…”
Spyro, “Someone else point out that I’m in a bad mood & it’s you versus the hurricane today…”
Phytal, “You need to calm your nuts…”
Spyro, “I am calm…”
Ember, “You want me to rub your shoulders?”
Freddy, “How weird…”
Brento, “Not on this platform young girlie…”
Ember, “Don’t ever call me that again…”
Brento, “Respect my royalty…”
All of the dragons laugh except for Sha Nai Nay, Ember & Spyro. At this time, Sha Nai Nay & Spyro have walked to the front of the icicle platform; patiently waiting for the ride to be over.
Ember, “Don’t let him talk to me like that…”
Melta, “You might be a prince; but you’re far from royalty…”
Ember, “I wasn’t talking to you Melta…”
Melta, “And Spyro is still gazing off into the distance for what reason?”
Ember, “SPYRO!”
Spyro, “May I help you lamb chops?”
Ember, “Protect my innocence…”
All of the dragons burst out into loud laughter; except for Sha Nai Nay & Spyro…
Ember, “Why are yall balling like that?”
Chloro, “You’re going to chase Spyro right into Dalya’s wings…”
Drake, “Actually; I have dibs on Dalya…”

Spyro turns around & walks up to Drake to say, “When you get the man power to do the things that I have done with out having to tap into your powers. Maybe you’ll be man enough to even look at her, until then; sit your seriously unnecessary super blue self down somewhere & think about all of the times I could’ve made you a man way before your years. Know you ain’t even a real dragon, you’s just a salamander!!”
All of the Dragons, “SPYRO!!”
Spyro, “WHAT!”
Ember, “I’m going to tell your father…
Phytal, “I guess I’m going to have to keep you from talking for the rest of this ride…”
Drake, “Naw, it’s cool; I’ll let it slide this time. I mean, I’m not the man trying to design a leaf for goodness sake…”
All of the Dragons, “Oooooooooooooooooooooo…”
Freddy, “Let me get this camcorder out…”
Melta, “Really dude?”
Freddy, “Yeah; you never know, they might just break out into a fight & a random icicle platform might have an orange scare crow propped up on it or you might see Nikki DeLouch & Tiffany Hines chilling out in the cut over there…”
All of the Dragons, “What are you talking about now, Freddy?”
Spyro, “Drake, I will show you the real meaning of wringing someone out…”
Drake, “And I’ll just be designing a new leaf during it. Maybe I’ll make a star…”
Spyro, “I would go to my corner & cry now; but I have palaces in my name around the realms…”
Drake, “Leverage, it’s for overly hyped nobodies…”
Spyro, “At least I have leverage; you’re probably one of those types who jump onto the table when a mouse is running across the floor. Eek, eek!”
Drake, “Just go eat some raspberry ice cream & hush it up; in fact, turn around & stand at the edge with your sour dough face. If Clay Face was a dragon…”
Spyro, “More like; if Superman was a dragon. Dead parents issues lately?”
Drake, “What are you even talking about?”
Spyro, “You know what I mean, visit that tombstone recently?”
Drake, “Well, at least my father would get a proper burial...”
Izzzie, “Stop before this goes too far…”
Melta, “All this male angst is killing my braid…”
All of the Dragons, “HAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
Sha Nai Nay, “I would like to enjoy the rest of this platform in silence; thanks…”
Freddy, “Go eat a pickle or something…”
Sha Nai Nay turns around & walks up to Freddy…
Brento, “Now it’s her turn…”
Brento & Freddy, “GULP!”
All of the Dragons burst out into laughter yet again…
Sha Nai Nay, “I outta bust you upside the head, right now!”
Melta, “Don’t do that…”
Izzzie, “Please don’t…”
Chloro, “I for one; would like to see some of his blood freezing up on this platform…”
Izzzie & Melta, “CHLORO!!!”
Sha Nai Nay, “Freddy, when I see your father again; I will tell him about that time you blew snot into his carrot mix. Do you think he would be proud of the baker apprentice if he found that out? I didn’t think so; so keep that trap closed before I knock your teeth down your throat!”
Freddy, “Super yikes! I would like to go on hush mouth now…”
Cynder, “I would like to sing a song…”
Sha Nai Nay, “And I would like some silence; so save your sotto voce for your mother when we get back…”
Freddy, “How are you going to try to bring up singing when we should still be talking about ice cream?”
Brento, “Wait a second; is Spyro crying? Boy; what you doin over there!?”
Spyro completely ignores Brento…
Flame, “ICED!”
Freddy, “They should make a new flavor; His Tears…”
All of the Dragons, “HAHAHAHAHA!!”
Spyro, “We don’t even have to do the mission; I could send you to the infirmary right now…”
Freddy, “What would Sparx do if he found out?”
Spyro, “What?”
Cynder, “He’s giving you something to think about so think…”
Spyro, “Hush it…”
Cynder, “Just trying to help, I have a microphone now…”
Sha Nai Nay, “You better not start singing…”
Cynder, “Your light shines the brightest, like two stars colliding; we’ll only survive if we fight it, don’t fight it…”
All of the Dragons, “Your light shines the brightest, like two stars colliding; we’ll only survive if we fight it, don’t fight it. Yeah…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Didn’t I say you better not start singing; well since yall on a roll. Hit them high notes on Old McDonald…”
Phytal, “Girl please; we are trying to sing this Jhene song…”
Brento, “What’s the title of it again…”
Drake, “You VS Them…”
Cynder, “Yup; that’s my jammer & we need to do something since we aren’t talking about ice cream anymore…”
Freddy, “I could go for a scoop & a donut, a glazed donut…”
Everyone looks at Freddy & then shakes their heads…
Freddy, “What did I do this time?”
Brento, “Just don’t talk for the rest of the year…”
Phytal, “I would dearly, enjoy that…”
All of the Dragons, “HAHAHAHAHAHA…”
Spyro, “Sha Nai Nay, should we do it?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Naw, we can wait it out; it’ll happen later…”
Izzzie, “What are yall mumbling over there?”
Spyro, “Don’t worry about it; keep those troops in line…”
Melta, “Well dang, what’s wrong with yall?”
Sha Nai Nay, “JUST BACK OFF!”
Melta, “Alright; keep your bald self over there! Tired of yall!!”
Chloro, “I wonder if they have a gumdrop flavored ice cream somewhere…”
Phytal, “They need to make a boysenberry flavored ice cream; I would devour that all the time…”
Brento, “You don’t need brain freezes; you’re a psychic, protect your membranes & make wise choices…”
Phytal, “I’m not the one; don’t talk to me like that…”
Freddy, “How many times do we have to say this?”
Brento & Freddy, “If you don’t have a royal neck piece; you don’t get a say in how we act!”
Phytal, “I do get a say in how much of your brain disappears…”
Brento, “And your head will roll; right into that ice cream bowl…”
Phytal, “At least I won’t be in a wheel chair with a spinning blade cap over my head…”
Izzzie, “Nice…”
Cynder, “It would be nice to sing a song collectively, for old times sake…”
Flame, “If we are singing anything; it’s going to be a scenario. We must make a musical out of it…”
Phytal, “Not on this platform…”
Ember, “Yes on this platform!”
Flame, “I propose the girls sing Jazzy’s “Wayzted”…”
Ember, “No, we aren’t doing th…”
Cynder, “Let’s do it; get to your places Izzzie & Melta…”
Izzzie, “But which parts will we be singing?”
Cynder, “Just get over here!”
Freddy, “I thought this was an icicle platform; not an ice rink.”
Melta, “Silence it Freddy! Us girls, just wanna have fun…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “This is going to blow, chunks!”

The Dragonettes continue to converse about which girl is going to sing which part of the song. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro are still at the front of the platform steadily shaking their heads wishing the whole ride was over already. Cynder, Phytal, Ember, Izzzie & Melta all agreed on which parts they were going to sing. Flame, Drake, Brento, Freddy & Chloro are trying to flip coins to see who is going to do the rap part of the song; Chloro is very determined to do it because he pulled out a double headed coin. None of the other guys didn’t care as much as he did, but when they started the jam session; it was all good times. Everyone was throwing their paws up while Sha Nai Nay & Spyro totally ignored the loud jam session provided by a boom box Chloro was randomly keeping in his capsule. Half way through their jam session; Sha Nai Nay & Spyro were at the edge with their heads down steadily shaking them even though the girls were hitting all of their notes. Since they weren’t paying attention, Flame & Drake began to prep small water balloons; then launched them at Sha Nai Nay & Spyro’s heads. SPLASH! They turned around then with a straight face; very displeased at who threw them even though they had no idea who threw them. At the end of the jam session; Sha Nai Nay & Spyro had giant water balloons made & they both launched them while the others were too busy waving their heads with their eyes closed. SUPER SPLASH! Got every last one of them; then everyone laughed, but they returned to the edge again. Izzzie & Melta weren’t too pleased with this; they were obviously not pleased at how Nivea left a dent in their mental state. Since then; all Sha Nai Nay & Spyro could think about was taking that anger out on this elven training camp. Snapping back at the other dragons just ensures they aren’t letting go of the animosity; the others surely would have to keep up with them today. In these times of war; the animosity that they are holding right now is exemplary & needed for the dragons to sustain their place in the war. Even though the first part of what Jazzy sings in “Wayzted”; “Want you, cause your energy takes over me yeah, I’m taking in more than I can handle…” The young dragons aren’t even concerned about the atrocities of yesterday & the what ifs, they are extremely happy with just saving the citizens they could…

Chapter 10: Jungle Chillers
Phytal, “We could just…”
Spyro, “Uh huh…”
Phytal, “…let somebody…”
Spyro, “Alright…”
Phytal, “…know about the…”
Spyro, “We get it…”
Phytal stops talking to look Spyro directly in the eyes… The icicle platform has reached its destination across the valley. Phytal is making a last ditch effort to get under everyone’s skin about doing something about the fragile information they have. On the other hand, Spyro just wants to shut everyone up so that Izzzie & Melta can brief them on the tactics they are going to pull off today. After they decide on a flight plan, Sha Nai Nay interrupts everyone with a plan of her own…
Sha Nai Nay, “I would like to submit an idea…”
Chloro, “Here we go…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Do you have any idea of what I’m about to say? Then shut your trap Chloe…”
Chloro, “It’s row dudette, it’s got da…”
Izzzie, “Alright; you two do not start up. Go ahead girl…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Since, I didn’t get to outdo everyone during the design a leaf competition; I propose that we make a competition out of how many elves we all can get rid of today. Any takers…”
Cynder, “I don’t know; the last thing we need is a bunch of high risk attacks coming from our side when we aren’t sure about all of their forces & any possible reinforcements…”
Spyro, “You should learn to live a little sometimes…”
Drake, “I’m with Cyn; we need to be careful, this is definitely a training ground but I would like to not have bows or spears aimed towards my cranium today.”
Spyro, “Could you have sound more noble & wuss in the same statement at the same time?”
Drake, “I would totally give a part of my heart to care what you have to say; but alas, design a leaf competition…”
All of the dragons begin to laugh, then Spyro shouts over them all; “THAT’S IT; THIS IS HOW IT’S GOING TO GO SHA NAI NAY!”
Sha Nai Nay, “Nice…”
Spyro, “Who ever gets rid of the most troops gets to body slam the person of their choice. Who’s in?”
Freddy, Brento, Sha Nai Nay, Flame, Chloro, Phytal & Melta; “IN!!!!”
Izzzie, “Melta?” Izzzie looks at her sister with a face full of displeasure…
Melta, “If anything; if I win, no one will get slammed; so don’t be giving me that look…”
Phytal, “I heard that…”
Melta, “Don’t be all up over here Phytal! Why do you want to do it anyway?”
Phytal, “I’m not disclosing who I get to body slam, but it could be either of you for all I care…”
Drake, “She’s going after you Spyro…”
Spyro, “I’m winning; Freddy will lose a cup of frosting today…”
All of the dragons burst out into laughter…
Melta, “OK, enough; we don’t need to be too loud…”
Izzzie, “No more shenanigans…”
Spyro, “Since majority of yall accepted the terms of the competition, we are doing it. No ifs, ands or buts Izzzie & Melta!”
Izzzie & Melta, “Alrighty then…”
Spyro, “Thanks, thank you green & yellow! It’s simple; who counts the most casualties wins the competition & gets to slam who ever they want to.”
Freddy, “When I slam Ember; it’ll just make your relationship with her more sour…”
Spyro, “OH QUIET OFF AT THE TRAP WITH YOUR SNARKY WANNABE A SPICE BOY SELF! Knowing good & well you can’t be slamming girls; let alone pick up a cupcake pan…”
Freddy, “So it was you spying on me from inside the cupboards, MADtv style?”
All of the Dragons, “Ooooooooooooooooooooo…”
Spyro, “It’s about to get heavy around here today…”
Brento, “How so?”
Ember, “Because I’m winning the competition again…”
Flame, “I would like to see that happen; but if you win, will you slam Spyro or Freddy?”
Ember, “I don’t know; it’s going to be a tough choice, come walk with me Flame…”
Flame, “I would rather be taken captive…”
Ember, “Get over here…”
Sha Nai Nay, “What is going on?”
Melta, “I have no idea, but we have at least ten minutes for the time slot…”
Izzzie, “Ten minutes is all Ember needs to freak up the day…”
Ember, “Young girl; I am not even going to do anything this time. Jeesh; Phytal, don’t be reading minds either…”
Phytal, “I guess I can’t now…”
Spyro, “Ember, I swear; if you do some whackadoodle ish today, I’m telling your mother about that time you ruined her cloak…”
Ember, “But…but…”
Spyro, “But nothing; I’m trying to handle this situation the best way real heroes do it…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Just don’t think you’ll get a high five for that…”
Spyro, “I wasn’t even looking at you…”
Sha Nai Nay, “But you were thinking it…”
Phytal, “Well; he was…”
Spyro, “OK, hurricane season it is today…”
Izzzie & Melta, “See!”
Izzzie, “Just ruined the entire day for all of us!”
Phytal, “I could just rearrange his memories real quick…”
Izzzie, “Don’t’ do that…”
Freddy, “It would be nice of you to do that; then we would see him on the special short bus with a hot pink helmet on…”
Flame, “Hot pink?”
Melta, “At thirteen; at freaking thirteen & I have all this lame responsibility!”

The dragons continue to converse about a few things while Spyro is being more than adamant about the competition. Eventually, Izzzie & Melta agree to it & make everyone else get in on the dragon games. Flame & Ember wrap up a conversation about who she really wants to body slam; but Flame doesn’t understand her angle. If she wins; she’ll try to make it so that she gets five dragons in the whole slam. All Flame could do was laugh, which made her start laughing; in turn making Phytal come around the corner with most of the Dragonettes following suit. Sha Nai Nay interrupted the laughter with reminding them that no one takes them serious & this is why. She held up an invisible mirror while they were still kind of giggling but not able to hold a mad face at what Sha Nai Nay said. Sha Nai Nay then splashed some hot candle wax on Flame & Ember. Trying to keep laughter to a minimum, Flame & Ember returned to a large amount of laughter then everyone else joined in on it too…
When the time slot was up for the taking; Chloro showed the map to the entire team & they all decided on areas they would take up for the assault. When they took flight; snow started to fall lightly, randomly; everyone thought about Ellix. Horns were sounded eventually, then fireballs rained down one after another with other powers being thrown around as well. The elves in training on the ground didn’t know what to do since it was a training ground. The dragons began to take up tallies; being as ludicrous as possible about the numbers they are achieving. At one point, Sha Nai Nay was thinking about using 1,000 as her body count. Chloro was thinking about 1,200,000; but he knew that he wouldn’t win with that number so he added another 750,000. At one point; there was a giant light channel, a hurricane, a giant boulder, electricity flying everywhere & an image of a fire god roaming around through the gigantic base. The dragons were throwing so much danger that it seemed unfair. Then; some dangerous offense almost took Ember out…
Dioza & Dazza were on the grounds; they eventually showed their faces after five major brewing powers erupted on the training grounds. Dioza summoned twelve gravity defying dalmatians with the power to breathe ice; their targets were set & the dragons began to defend & still offend the elves in training, increasing their numbers throughout all of the battle. Having the advantage of air; the dragons eventually made Dazza get in on the dragon games. Equipping twelve high ranking elves with suits of light armor; they were able to support the Dalmatians creating a sense of hiatus with the dragons tossing out fireballs. With Dazza’s intentions, the dragons stopped throwing fireballs; they were too busy doing damage control to the magical knights & the even more magical dalmatians. The fight continued for a good fifteen minutes, then the remaining training elves finally armed some arbalests to let the dragons have it. With as much force as possible; Drake, Cynder, Ember, Chloro & with Brento’s highest attack form created a strong attack to disable half of the training grounds so that arbalests that were manned from the lower hemisphere weren’t able to shoot arrows. By this time, Sha Nai Nay was trying real hard to manipulate the light armor on the knights. Ceasing the chance; she grabbed some of Cynder’s shadow energy & got one of the armors to take out the light ones, one by one…
Changing up the strategy, Dioza commanded the dalmatians to form a unit & hunt down the dragons one by one. With her having sight on them all in the air, she could maneuver them around to hopefully take out the Dragonettes. The dragons were escaping close call after close call; they had no idea who were supporting the dalmatians but another threat came about to support the arbalests. Giant hands with light swords began to show up; there were ten of them for each sector of the training grounds. This made the dragons move in a specific way so they couldn’t fly in any direction they wanted to. Izzzie began flying around to regroup everyone as much as possible, Melta went in the opposite direction; Phytal didn’t like the feeling of this situation, no one was prepared for this kind of situation but Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. They were handling most of the arbalests on the ground so that the other dragons could breathe; they were definitely gifted heroes of their time. The hands couldn’t cause any kind of damage to Sha Nai Nay & Spyro because of their superior flying & critical awareness. No matter how fast the giant hands of light kept swinging the swords; those two were escaping all of their attacks with ease. Everyone else; didn’t have that kind of luck, Brento & Freddy were having the hardest time out of everyone. They couldn’t move fast enough to get away from the light slashes, which exploded on them every time they tried to get into the air. Phytal eventually focused her mind good enough to find out Dioza & Dazza. Phytal then sent a telepathic message to Izzzie & Melta as fast as possible; by this time Izzzie got to Ember, Flame & Chloro while Melta picked up Cynder, Drake & Phytal. The eight of them began to make a bee line straight for the center of the training grounds; picking up enough speed to turn into magnificent beings of energy. All eight of them crashed into the bunker hard enough to knock Dioza & Dazza unconscious…
Ember, “Bonus points…”
The eight of them laughed only for a few seconds, then returned above ground to see that the dalmatians were still flying around rampant with intentions of scarring the wings of Sha Nai Nay, Spyro, Brento & Freddy. The look on Freddy’s face was mean, pure of madness. He was not into the whole situation of getting slashed through with terrifying light for a good four minutes. Sha Nai Nay went to help out Brento thinking that the other eight forgot their survival tactics as well. Spyro went to help out Freddy for a bit; which wasn’t needed, Freddy saw an untouched bunker out the corner of his eyes. In this bunker was a giant cross bow. Freddy dragged the giant cross bow out of the bunker then took flight with it. The black stars on his body glowed a nice vapor blue, then turned white with the rest of his body. He was building up as much energy as possible; he kept rising & rising, the chain of cross bow bolts were following suit. He was prepping to do his Starside Launcher attack; which allowed him to shoot cannons of plasma energy that detonated with beauty but served major amounts of devastation. Once he pulled the trigger with his tail, the training grounds began to be no more…
There was nothing Spyro could do; he made his bed, he would lay in it later. Freddy & the giant cross bow enchanted by his powers; ruined everything in sight. Phytal was thinking about melting his memory for a bit; so he can’t get his slam on to whomever he wants, all of the girls didn’t want to slam anyone but Ember; Izzzie, Melta, Cynder, Phytal & Sha Nai Nay didn’t want her to get any ups, but they weren’t thinking that Freddy would wipe out the entire training grounds. Chloro; even though he feels like he has bad blood with everyone in the unit, still recorded the whole unloading of the chain of bolts just so he can put it in Spyro’s face any time Spyro wants to yap off at the trap. Spyro was not pleased after the final bolt released & the whole training grounds was smoked out by Freddy…

After Freddy dropped the cross bow, he just said to himself; “Glad that is over.” The rest of the Dragonettes all crowded around him to begrudgingly congratulate him; he then began to hold it over everyone’s heads. “I graduated number six huh? Well, in sixty seconds; who handled the whole training grounds? Count it up, everyone!”; he said with much glee on his face. After the statement was over, Spyro just gracefully turned around while Sha Nai Nay said, “Although; you gracefully took sixty light sword swipes, let me see your chicken wings?” Everyone started laughing, even Brento. Freddy with much displeasure replied with, “I choose Sha Nai Nay…” Everyone looked at her & started laughing again; Izzzie calmly said, “You go be aight young girl?” Sha Nai Nay gritted her teeth then worded; “Oh, Sha Nai Nay is going to be alright…”
After returning to Gravitor once again; the Dragonettes returned to Gekko to do a debriefing. To her alarm; when she found out that Dioza & Dazza were at the training grounds, she instantly gave a group hug to the dragons. She instantly felt all of the damage Brento & Freddy took to their wings, she had those two rushed off to the infirmary. They weren’t in good condition; but this allowed Sha Nai Nay to escape the slamming which she wasn’t looking forward to. It’s a miracle that Freddy could harness that might under the conditions of his wings after being attacked by the giant light swords. Yet; he pulled off a feat that is relevant to the grade of both Sha Nai Nay & Spyro. After dinner; the Dragonettes went to camp to get rest for the evening. Sha Nai Nay, Phytal & Spyro all snuck off to have a secret conversation…
Phytal, “Let’s walk over there for a while; I wanted to remind you guys, we need to get to the bottom of this…”
Sha Nai Nay, “As a case of Murder She Wrote; you sure are interested in solving this dilemma…”
Phytal, “Yes; because I was forced in to it. If I’m already considered a prize for the future, I might as well start now.”
Spyro, “All this time; your lavender haired self could’ve been with Sha Nai Nay & Dalya. You have to stop being worthless & put your parents’ genetics to use…”
Phytal, “I have told you many of times to stop talking to me like that Spyro…”
Spyro, “I have told you many of times; I care for you, I’m yours but you are not mine though…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Ewe; as condescending as that sounds, I bet you care for Dalya too. Why haven’t you checked up on her this entire time?”
Spyro, “I hav…”
Phytal, “You have not; you’re not going to get any kind of leeway to escape the war. If anyone is searching for her, it should be her parents.”
Sha Nai Nay, “Well, Vital is missing too; but I’m surprised Izzzie hasn’t said anything about him yet…”
Phytal, “You know Fuzionso keeps tabs on everything his daughters say.”
Spyro, “Even more badly than my father.”
Sha Nai Nay, “There’s nothing wrong with Heaven…”
Spyro, “Well; he’s one of the reasons why the war started, I bet your role model’s head is exploding right now…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up! We don’t have to be rocket scientists to understand that it takes more than a regular working mind to explode. You have a problem with understand that gun powder needs to be involved?”
Spyro, “Girl, calm your nuts…”
Phytal, “The real topic at hand is how we are going to get everyone else in on stopping the war?”
Sha Nai Nay, “You could’ve told Gekko plenty of times already; why haven’t you?”
Phytal, “I want partial credit for this.”
Spyro, “If only modesty was one of your attractive points…”
Phytal, “No time for modesty; you guys gotta help me get my name in the record books before its too late…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I bet you would like a statue of yourself in your front yard too…”
Phytal, “Naw, I want it on the roof. That’s besides what I really want to do; you two, Dalya & Vital aren’t the only young saviors. It’s my time to shine & I would seriously like it if you guys helped me.”
Sha Nai Nay, “I don’t know, Spyro?”
Spyro, “Don’t look at me; she’s the one with the power to manipulate people at her will…”
Phytal, “That’s not how I operate killer.”
Spyro, “Well; you’re not exactly upholding your good girl image…”
Phytal, “I’m a soldier for war, are you upholding any of your images at the moment? Wait; you are, you’re upholding that one that makes you look like puckered lips after you’ve been hit in the face with a lemon…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Wow, neat way to calling him an a…”
Spyro, “Alright! Phytal, I must warn you; what heroes do always comes with a price. So; I want fifty thousand by sun up…”
Sha Nai Nay, “SPYRO!!!”
Phytal, “He’s just acquiring whatever he can get for a black market brain replacement…”
Spyro, “That exists as much as your idea of thinking you can help yourself…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Wow, I’m surprise you’re being this mean to her; she is not one of the fellahs…”
Spyro, “She hasn’t said please yet; so stop yapping…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Just saying, anyway; Phytal, I will help you if it means that much to you. You know me; real heroes help out whenever they are needed…”
Spyro, “I know you didn’t just wi…”
Phytal, “Hush it, Spyro; thanks boo. That’s why you’re everyone’s favorite.”
Spyro, “SPIT TAKE!”
Sha Nai Nay, “I am everyone’s favorite; who do you dream about Phytal?”
Phytal, “Her name is Sha Nai Nay…”
Spyro, “DOUBLE SPIT TAKE!!”
Sha Nai Nay, “You’re drooling again Spyro…”
Spyro, “Well, if old golden is helping; I’ll be going to eat some more steaks…”
Sha Nai Nay & Phytal, “Lazy…”
Spyro, “Do I need to save you guys any?”
Phytal, “Tch, I’ll pass; when we wake up in the morning, we have to make Drake a believer out of all of this…”
Sha Nai Nay, “He is the best to work on first; everyone else will come over once we shut Drake the hell up with his scary self…”
Spyro, “Well; at least you guys have said something true today. I’ll work on Drake; I guess I can offer my superb communication skills at a time of sensitivity…”
Phytal, “You’re not even invited anymore…”
Spyro, “What?”
Phytal, “You are no longer important…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Has he ever been important; but we might as well exploit him. He knows how to talk Drake into doing things he know he shouldn’t.”
Phytal, “Well, guys were made to please the ladies; better get on your belly & please…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I second that…”
Spyro, “Or, I could just let Drake sit off in the distance talking to Gekko. We all know he goes through with his threats…”
Phytal, “I guess, tch; just don’t be all bragging about it after you got him on our side. Completely this time; I swear, he flip flops more than the same brand on different people’s feet…”
Spyro, “What are you talking about now, brainiac?”
Phytal, “I’m saying, your dear friend is indecisive…”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “Like we didn’t know that…”

Chapter 11: the Beginning of the Shutter Grounds Campaign

Cynder, “Come on guys; why are yall lagging behind today?”

All of the dragons are eating a slow pace; while Sha Nai Nay & Spyro continue to persuade Drake in trying to stop the war by the wings of the Dragonettes. Cynder agreed a long time ago to Sha Nai Nay’s bidding about ending the war hastily by just those twelve. Unluckily; Drake is giving everyone the run around making them think thrice about the decision they are making at the moment. The morning wasn’t going to be good till Sha Nai Nay & Spyro convinced Drake that he needed to join the self made heroes in triumphing over the war. The breakfast sure was long; but Phytal wasn’t giving in easy, instead of letting others talk; she finally decided to manipulate someone telepathically. No one caught on to it till Drake started to not speak. Phytal was digging in deep to make him say that he will join them on going rogue. Eventually; she found a self vow, Drake would not believe anything Spyro says until he actually hears an elf admit to what happened in the Crazoid Realms. The only way to do this was to get to Princess Vizion herself or either Dazza & Dioza. Yesterday; they didn’t have that option, when Drake regained the ability to talk again; Phytal decided to take the memory from Spyro himself to show it all to Drake. This made Drake feel entirely reluctant on finishing his breakfast; not to mention going with the Dragonettes. A horned sounded; which indicated most of the units at Gravitor would be moving to a different capital. The dragons began to hastily eat; on Drake’s final gulp, he finally chimed in with…

Drake, “The eulogy in my head, hasn’t been used before…”
Izzzie & Melta, “Eulogy?”
Drake, “May my mother rest in peace; but I will join you guys on stopping this war as soon as possible…”
The Dragons, “YAYYYYYYYYY!”
Spyro, “Thank you…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I second that…”
Spyro, “You will not regret this buddy…”
Izzzie, “Alright dragons; let’s get to Gekko so we can go ahead & make it to Keshlor…”

All of the dragons make it to Gekko to be transported to Keshlor as a unit. Keshlor is the capital that represents the might of the dragons. It’s main colors are brown, orange, red & black; other than signs & any festivities, the architecture depends on those beautiful colors. The dragons all look over the cliff down to the capital from the gates zone. All of the torches are lit with black flames on the outer walls & orange flames within the vicinity. As always; the two flames a top of the center tower are brown & red. Gekko takes off with all of the dragons getting into a flight formation after her. Once they land in the camp grounds; she has a briefing prepared for them. It’s a personal mission, handed down by the king himself; he feels that only the Dragonettes can carry it out without getting caught. Once the dragons filed around Gekko; she began with the briefing…

Gekko, “Located in the Vinkory area of the Elven Realms; there are five castles. There’s a place called the Shutter Grounds. In this area lie five castles that hold five poltergeists. Prisoners of their own people, they have been slain & used spiritually for the sake of the elves. Tortured beyond a point of any detail; the poltergeists are bound to the castles for eternity. The only beings they cannot harm are elves; it’s a known fact that anyone who isn’t an elf that has stepped on to the castle grounds have not come out alive. This mission is imperative to stop any resources the elves are using through this war. Targets are called: the Blackening, Blaze, Crazoid, Paper & Grave Castles; occupied by Mithaniel Drickson, Mallozi Venectron, Justina Valodaienmol, Jamarra Menaiovendes & Neksapa Inosaki. These names should be familiar; they are the only, the Greater Evil. You know what they were capable of as elves; but as captive spirits held for eternity, they are much more worse now. Each castle is linked to each spirit, if you all can defeat all five of them; the castle won’t be able to drain them on the regular basis. We still have no idea where this energy is going; but in the inner sanctum, if they are knocked out for a long period of time to where they can’t materialize for at least seventy two hours; we as dragons will all be in a better place. Begin at 1700; be done by midnight tonight, good luck & use every bit of training as possible; survival tactics must be incredible today.”
Spyro, “Peace of cake…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I second that…”
Melta, “PEACE OF CAKE?”
Spyro, “Yes, peace of cake…”
Gekko, “Dismissed…”

The dragons all dip out to explore Keshlor; staying a group, tensions seem to be incredibly high. Gekko seemed to be very reserved today for such a high risk mission briefing. Sha Nai Nay & Spyro both are excited but not like all of the others. Drake feels that the vow he made to his mother is about to be shattered completely if he doesn’t survive today. Unknown to him; Sha Nai Nay, Dalya, Vital & Spyro all had a competition years ago that took place within four of the five castles. When they are sure they aren’t around anyone that can hear, Spyro tells the group about the story. Straight faces from left to right, up & down; Izzzie could only do one thing, walk away…

Spyro, “Izzzie?”
Izzzie, “Don’t even…
Chloro, “Well; I guess today has gotten more easy. I think we can all get back in time to participate in that water balloon fight…”
Freddy, “You’re going to lose anyway…”
Melta, “Silence!”
Spyro, “Izzzie, wait!”
Izzzie, “I said, don’t even…”
Ember, “Izzzie; don’t be like that…”
Izzzie, “I’m just going to the fountain…”
Phytal, “Well; are you at least happy that we aren’t going to die today?”
Izzzie, “Just don’t go there…”
Spyro, “Melta, what is wrong with your other half?”
Melta, “the Greater Evil…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Oh, you have a beef with the Greater Evil? Oooo, do tell!!”
Izzzie, “There is nothing to tell about it…”
Brento, “Girl; you better tell us that story!”
The Dragons, “BRENTO!!”
Brento, “Well; she might as well, we have at least a quarter of the day before we get over there…”
Izzzie, “Once upon a time; those serial killers effected me greatly in elementary a few years ago…”
Phytal, “I remember that; it’s best to leave the subject alone Brento…”
Brento, “Little girl got her panties in a bunch…”
Sha Nai Nay, “You’re not a human, so stop saying that…”
Izzzie, “I want you guys to understand this; even though the two vets have seen them with their own eyes, it is something unforgettable…”
Flame, “Naw, you just have a problem with ghosts; you gotta get over it girl…”
Melta, “Let’s all sympathize & not be simpletons about the matter…”
Flame, “It must be a phobia…”
Spyro, “Phobias are for chumps; are you a chump made girl Izzzie?”
Izzzie, “I’m about as much of a chump as you are…”
Spyro, “There’s nothing chump about me…”
Izzzie, “Then I guess you got your answer…”
Ember, “GOT HIM!”
Cynder, “Yes she did…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Well; if it’s any consolation, you don’t have to go in the castles with us; you can just wait outside. Besides, the fewer the better; we might’ve survived, but we know that a lot of us in the hallway at the same time is not a good idea.”
Spyro, “It’s not as Gekko made it seem; she was reading a piece of paper anyway. Which I’m sure was written by a butler & not the king…”
Brento, “What are you saying dude?”
Spyro, “I’m saying, I’m sure your father isn’t that bright…”
Brento, “You can get ended today if you want to…”
Melta, “There will be none of that…”
Spyro, “As I was saying; it’s not what it seems, all we need are two volunteers for each castle. It’s not a big deal honestly…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I volunteer Cynder & Chloro for this one…”
Cynder, “Why?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Becau…”
Chloro, “That’s not a good enough reason…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Let me finish; goodness gracious! Because you two have powers that would benefit us inside those castles…”
Drake, “Or we could all go…”
Spyro, “Not a good idea playa; the elves are not going to be in the region because they hardly go to the castles anymore. Not with a certain advance in magic; the last documented time of an elf going to the Shutter Grounds was over one hundred & fifty years ago.”
Drake, “I don’t believe that statement; I’m going inside those castles to help…”
Spyro, “Be my guest…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I don’t want that to happen…”
Chloro, “Well it’s not going to happen if I begrudgingly have to go in there…”
Izzzie & Melta, “Begrudgingly?”
Chloro, “Well; I’m not really going to put up a fight; I’ll just go in, handle business & yawn. Not in that order, necessarily; but I would take care of Sha Nai Nay & Spyro…”
Spyro, “Take care of these nuts on the back of your neck…”
The Dragons, “HAHAHAHA!”
Cynder, “That doesn’t mean I’ll be doing it though…”
Izzzie, “Cyn, I would really rather you go; it’s not like Mr Don’t Care is paying attention anyway…”

Everyone looks at Freddy lounging out against a wall several feet away from everyone else…

Freddy, “Ahhh…”
Phytal, “Lazy…”
Brento, “How about if I go?”
Sha Nai Nay & Spyro, “How about you pick up some speed when you’re flying…”
Izzzie & Melta, “I know that’s right…”
Brento, “What can I say; I like my rice bowls…”
Chloro, “But do they like you back?”
The Dragons, “HAHAHAHAHA…”
Brento, “They don’t have to…”
Ember, “Well back on subject; why can’t all of us go in, seriously?”
Spyro, “The castles are a lot of ground & you know spirits; they can show up anywhere they want to. All they have to do is think; one wrong turn & your life is gone…”
Ember, “Then how did yall survive years ago?”
Sha Nai Nay, “Being fearless, sweetie…”
Cynder, “Has nothing to do with fear; what did yall say to those ghosts to get clearance to see the castles?”
Spyro, “Nothing at all…”
Drake, “Nothing at all?”
Spyro, “Seriously; nothing, it’s useless to provoke them because if you want to waste your life instantly; all you have to do is put in a verbal & you’ll be confined to the walls of the castles for the entirety of your afterlife…”
Izzzie, “Yikes…”
Melta, “Yikes isn’t the word…”
Cynder, “I get the feeling I’m going to hate my life later on today…”
Brento, “I thought you were already there?”
Phytal, “Only because she has to sleep next to you every night…”
Cynder, “I know that’s right! HIGH FIVE!!”
Phytal, “I’ll take that!”
Drake, “Man, I do not want to do this…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Well, think of this; if you survive today while being at the Shutter Grounds, just think that you will have no problem ending the war with us…”
Drake, “Well; that kind of makes sense…”
Spyro, “You know what else makes sense?”
Chloro, “That your name is Spyro because you twirl around a lot?”
Spyro, “Don’t start Chloe…”
Chloro, “It’s a got da…”
Izzzie, “He said; don’t start…”
Chloro, “I heard a name at the end of that; I guess I’ll go prep the spinning table…”
Spyro, “Man; shush it up, I was trying to say that it makes sense that if yall survive; which is going to happen, that yall might as well gear up to end the war the way I intend to end it…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Nope; you could’ve prevented it, but you didn’t; so we are going to follow my lead on this…”
Spyro, “Follow these nuts on your eye brows…”
Sha Nai Nay, “STOP SAYING THAT!”
Spyro, “Stop these nuts!”
Melta, “We get it Spyro; go wash something…”
The Dragons, “HAHAHAHA…”
Freddy, “I would let her have that one if I were you…”
Phytal, “Just go to sleep or something dude… Jeesh…”
Cynder, “So; it’s going to be Sha Nai Nay, Chloro, Spyro & who else?”
Sha Nai Nay, “You gotta come with us girl; stop being a chicken…”
Phytal, “Should I do that Raven Symone impersonation of a chicken?”
Izzzie, “No, do not do that…”
Flame, “I would like to see it, but you need a chicken hat…”
Spyro, “Boy; go on somewhere…”
Flame, “Naw, if she’s going to bring it up; she might as well go over the top…”
Phytal, “Over the top of my nuts in yo mouth…”
Spyro, “I know she just didn’t…”
Cynder, “She just nutted herself to the top with that one…”
The Dragons, “HAHAHAHA…”
Brento, “Kids say the darnedest things…”
Melta, “You can’t talk…”
Brento, “I just did brosef…”
Melta, “I’m not a dude…”
Brento, “I can’t tell…”
Melta, “You can tell these nuts in yo mouth…”
Freddy, “She got you cuz…”
Brento, “Stay over there Freddy…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Back to business; stop trying to change the subject, wrong with yall? Don’t answer that; Cynder, just get ready; you can bring up the rear once we get there…”
Cynder, “Still ain’t doing it…”
Sha Nai Nay, “I did not want to ask Freddy to do this; so I’m not… I guess Drake; it’s up to you kid…”
Drake, “As long as I’m not sitting outside waiting to be hit in the cranium with something…”
Spyro, “You have to stop thinking like that; you’re going to create a phobia of your own…”
Izzzie, “Really Spyro? I’m riled up enough to go right across both sides of your face…”
Ember, “You don’t have to do all of that…”
Izzzie, “At this moment; I’ll do what I please, so everyone watch their mouths; as a matter of fact…”
Melta, “Please don’t say what I think you’re about to say…”
Izzzie, “Let’s give command to Sha Nai Nay & Spyro again…”
Drake & Cynder, “NOPE!!”
Melta, “Yall don’t have a say in this; silence. I thought you were going to say something else…”
Brento, “Something else like what?”
Melta, “You are entirely too close to me, back it up before I pimp slap a dude… Thank you; I thought she was going to say she was really going to back tail Spyro into smithereens...”
Izzzie, “Naw, not today; I’ll let someone else do that…”
Ember, “Someone like who?”
Izzzie, “You could do it…”
Ember, “Naw; I can’t hurt my boo, ever…”
Spyro, “And back on the subject of the castle; since I have power now…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Since I have power; Cynder, you’re going in. Drake; you’re sitting in the field…”
Drake & Cynder, “No I’m not!”
Cynder, “Seriously; I’m not about to play around with poltergeists…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Spyro & I will do all the work; all you have to do is play back up. You just let the heroes do all the talking…”
Phytal, “Nope; can’t do that, I volunteer; I need face time…”
Drake, “Face time with whom? If anyone is getting face time, it better be me. I might as well meet some infamous spirits before I die…”
Spyro, “Seriously dude; what is wrong with your conscious?”
Drake, “Don’t worry about my membranes…”
Spyro, “Well; you said it…”
Phytal, “And I said I want to get in all of those castles…”
Sha Nai Nay, “But we don’t want you in the castles though…”
Phytal, “But I’m the psychic of the group, chick…”
Sha Nai Nay, “But like I had said…”
Phytal, “Naw, but like I had said when I said it…”
Sha Nai Nay, “Look young one, it’s like I had said…”
Phytal, “How about you check what I had said…”
Sha Nai Nay, “No; it’s all about what I had said first…”
Phytal, “What about what you had said again?”
Sha Nai Nay, “I said we don’t want you in the castles though…”
