AN: Yeah, I know. 'Another story?! But you have Pirate's Life to work on!' Chill, I'll update this weekend. It would have been sooner, but I have a science fair project to work on. This story takes place right before "The Sucky Outdoors" episode. And you don't need to know much about The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon to understand this story; I'll explain anything that might cause confusion
Disclaimer: I don't own TDI or The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (which this was inspired greatly by). If I did, Duncan would have won TDI, and Ignitus wouldn't have died! Why'd it have to be Ignitus?! Why?!?! Oh, just read the story already!…Ignitus…

Ch 1: The Crystals
Camp Wawanakwa was unusually quiet. The campers' next challenge wasn't until tomorrow, so they had a small window of opportunity to actually relax. Well, relax as much as they could on a stupid reality show in a crappy summer camp hosted by a sadistic pretty-boy freak.
Duncan was sitting on the steps of the Killer bass cabin, carving a stick into a sharpened spear. Then, he stopped. He had felt a creepy rush, like something really bad was going to happen. He shrugged it off though.
This is a freakin' reality show created to make our lives miserable! Of course something bad's gonna happen!, Duncan thought as he continued carving.
Gwen looked up from her sketch book, just getting a feeling similar to the one Duncan just experienced. Glancing up to the sky, she saw a flash. At first, it looked like a star, but then it started to grow in size. After a few seconds, she could identify it as a meteor that was coming towards camp. She gasped.
"Look out!" Gwen shouted, pointing to the meteor. Everyone followed her finger to the falling rock. They all immediately scrambled for a hiding spot. All the campers had found shelter when the heard a crash. A few peeked their heads out to see the rock.
"Cool! A meteorite!" Cody said, coming out from his spot behind the mess hall. Owen cowered behind a tree.
"A-are you sure there aren't any a-aliens in there?" he asked, holding the tree trunk for dear life. Trent looked at him.
"I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as aliens, Owen." he said, coming out from behind the cabins. Cody walked up to the space rock to get a better look at it. Upon closer inspection, he saw something shiny and yellow poking out of the side.
"Hey, guys, I think I found something!" he said, reaching for the object. The other campers walked up to see what he was talking about. Cody pulled the object out of the meteorite. Holding it up, he saw it was a yellow and black crystal. The weird think about it was that it had been hand-carved into the shape of a dragon and it was attached to a string, like it was meant to be worn.
"Whoa. That's pretty creepy, the way it's already carved like that. Kinda like crop circles. Maybe there is a such thing as aliens." Tyler said, looking at the crystal in Cody's palm.
"You've been watching too many sci-fi's, dude. Aliens don't exist." Geoff said, leaning against the meteorite. Then, something in the space rock gleamed in the light, making Geoff inspect it.
"Hey, here's another one!" he said, taking out another crystal from the rock. Like Cody's, it was carved in the shape of a dragon and was attached to a string. However, it was white and stormy blue, instead of yellow and black.
"How many of these crystal things are there?" Owen asked, looking at Geoff's dragon curiously.
The campers then searched the rock for any more crystalline dragons. 8 of them had been found: Cody's yellow and black one, Geoff's white and stormy blue one, a brown and green one found by Trent, a brick red and scarlet one found by Gwen, a sapphire and sky blue one found by Bridgette, a forest and lime green one which Heather took from Lindsay (AN: Because we all know Heather would never get her nails ruined by digging in a space rock.), a red and orange one found by Courtney, and a navy blue and black one found by Duncan.
"What are these?" Trent asked, looking at the intricate carvings on his dragon crystal. Duncan shrugged.
"Some freaky crystals from space, I guess." he said, also observing his crystal dragon. Then, a strange feeling came over the campers. Not the feeling of dread Duncan and Gwen had felt, more like a woozy, yet numbing, feeling, almost like a tranquilizer. The next thing anyone knew, a bright flash of light overtook all of them, knocking them all unconscious.

AN:…Okay, I'm better. I'm done crying about you-know-who. The color of the dragon crystals might not match the characters, but you'll understand next chapter. Trust me. R&R!!!
