Now I will tell you the tale of a new world. This world like Spyro's dimension has its own hero; his name is Pyro, and I will tell you his story.

Chapter 1: The Dragon City:

A long time ago an ancient species roamed the Earth. We thought they were myths and overlooked their existence. They have managed to elude us for centuries, now they return to reveal a truth long forgotten. These creatures were known as "Dragons". They once lived among us, but because of mans own greed they disappeared; or so we thought. Deep within the Earth lives a legendary place, known as the 'Dragon City'. Now the dragons live there peacefully, and according to legend had extraordinary powers. The city buildings were said to be made of stone, and to have vast amounts of treasure.

The dragons were led by one single family of dragons. These dragons had powers that surpassed all others and were amazing leaders. The current rulers were King Draco, (who was known for his brute strength and combat skills.) and his dragoness Gaia (who was known for her elegance, beauty, and flying techniques). Draco had red scales and golden curved horns on the top of his head in a z like shape; Gaia was blue with black horns on her head, but hers were straight and narrow. She also has a single tail blade; the blade is straight, sharp, and black like her horns. The kings and queens of the 'Dragon Kingdome' lived in a palace that could be seen by all. They ruled their kingdom with kindness and made sure to do what was best for their subjects. Draco was the one of the royal blood line and was an strong, wise, and compassionate ruler. Gaia fell in love with him the first moment she saw him. It didn't take long for them to become a couple and get married. They have ruled their kingdom and been married for a thousand years now.

Draco soon walked into the palace and into his bed chamber. As he entered he saw Gaia lying down waiting for him. She looked up and smiled at him as he came in. She then said, "Good morning Draco." He then walked over to her and nuzzled her lovingly as he said, "Good morning Gaia. How is he?" Then the two dragons looked down to something in her arms. They both had good news for their people; Gaia laid an egg and it hatched a few days ago. The two dragons now had an heir to the throne; Gaia had given birth to the future king of the "Dragon City". Gaia then said, "He's fine, still sound asleep." The baby dragon was asleep in his mother's arms nuzzling her chest; Gaia then bent down and licked her son's cheek gently so she wouldn't wake him. The young dragon smiled in his sleep still listening to the soothing sound of his mother's heart beat. Gaia then looked up at Draco and said, "You know it's about time we named him." He nodded and said, "Do you have any idea?" She shook her head no. Draco and Gaia were thinking of a name for the young prince; the name finally came to them. They both simultaneously said, "Pyro." They would name their son 'Pyro' for his eyes which burned like fire. Pyro was red just like his father; his horns however were shaped like his mothers, he also had two small golden blades at the end of his tail.

All across the city dragons emerged and headed to the palace to see the king and queen. The two rulers stepped out from their home and presented their son, to the other dragons, who were overjoyed to see the new king. Pyro blinked a few times before he fully opened his eyes to see the beautiful kingdom that would soon be his, or would it. Gaia then turned to Draco and licked his cheek; Draco smiled and did the same back to her. The crowd of dragons continued to cheer for the young prince who was laughing as he looked out over the city.

Gaia turned to Draco and said, "Maybe we should take him outside, so he can play." He nodded and placed Pyro on his back and they walked down the stairs. Pyro could already walk on his own, but he enjoyed the ride. Once they reached the bottom of the palaces stone stairs the other dragons stepped aside, and bowed to the royal family. The dragon couple walked through the city looking for a play area for their son. Pyro however was looking around at the enormous stone buildings all around him. The young baby dragon decided to get a better view. He climbed up his father's neck and sat on his head in between his horns. Gaia couldn't help but laugh at seeing how funny he looked. Draco laughed with her, because he thought it was funny too. It wasn't long before the dragon family arrived at a hatchling day care. This building was made so that parents could drop off their younglings and go to work. However today they just wanted Pyro to play.

As they arrived they were greeted by a brown dragoness. She and a few of her assistance were in charge of watching over the younglings. She bowed respectfully and said, "My king and queen it is an honor to have you here. My name is Jade. I am the younglings care taker." As she raised her head, the young dragoness giggled as she said, "And I'm guessing that must be the young prince." Draco looked up and laughed (he had forgotten Pyro was sitting up there). As he nodded he said, "Common Pyro, get down." The young prince looked down and surprised his parents by jumping off his father's head. He landed on his feet easily and turned to see his parent's shocked expressions. They were surprised at how agile he already was. Jade smiled and said, "Seems like he's fearless." Gaia smiled and said, "It would seem so."

Pyro smiled at his parents but his attention was called away by a tiny squeak behind him. The little red dragon turned around to see a white dragoness behind him. The young prince cocked his head as he saw her. Being young he had never seen another dragon his size before. Actually he had never seen any other dragons besides his parents before. The white dragoness walked closer and Pyro backed up towards his parents. As she came closer Pyro took off and hid behind his mother's front forepaws. Gaia looked down and laughed as she said, "Or maybe he is afraid of something after all." Pyro kept eyeing the white dragoness who was giggling as he continued to hide behind his mother. Gaia lifted her paw and bent down towards Pyro and whispered, "Its okay. She's just like you. Go on." She used her paw to push her son towards the young dragoness. The little red dragon looked between his mother and the dragoness. Feeling secure with his parents close by, Pyro walked closer to the white dragoness.

He edged closer and cautiously sniffed her. The little dragoness giggled again and rubbed noses with Pyro. The young dragon was so stunned by the action he didn't see the little dragoness give him the slip. Pyro snorted sending smoke out of his nose and gave chase. The two little dragons were running through the adults legs. The two little dragons had started running in between Gaia's legs. The little dragoness was thinner and faster than Pyro and easily outmaneuvered him. She was planning on circling around and grabbing him. As she circled around he had disappeared. She walked out from underneath Gaia and slowly started looking around. As she took one last step she was tackled out of nowhere.

It turned out that the one who tackled her was Pyro. The little red dragon had climbed up his mother's tail and waited for dragoness to come looking for him. Young dragons have battle instincts built into their minds and they often use them when they play. Being a male Pyro was stronger and easily pinned the thinner dragoness to the ground. Pyro then leaned in close and rubbed noses with white dragoness. After that he took off quick. The little dragoness had a surprised look on her face. She then laughed and took off after him. Draco smiled and said, "Wow I didn't expect him to do that." Gaia nodded and said, "He's quite the strategist. I think he and that dragoness are going to be good friends." While they were playing three more hatchlings came outside. One of the dragons was blue with black markings along his paws. The other was green with a brown underbelly and small clubbed tail. The last dragon was silver and had razor sharp spikes going down his neck. Once they saw Pyro and the other dragoness having fun they joined in.

Pyro saw the other dragons coming and began to back away. The white dragoness however walked over towards them and started play fighting with blue dragon. The young prince's attention was caught by the silver dragon. He was scuffing up the ground and snorting. Pyro had no idea how to respond and turned to his father. Draco saw Pyro's confused face and got low in a battle stance showing him what to do. Pyro copied his father and got low as well. The silver dragon suddenly charged and rammed Pyro head on. The little red dragon rolled into his father's leg and felt a little dizzy. Pyro shook his head getting rid of his dizzy spell and took up his stance again. The silver hatchling once again scuffed up the ground and charged. This time Pyro stepped to the side and tripped the silver dragon with his tail. The young dragon fell over and flipped on his back. Draco was very impressed with his son's battle instincts; they were very advanced for a dragon his age. The silver dragon stood up and charged Pyro again. Pyro smiled and stood up on two legs. The silver hatchling jumped up in the air and tackled him. However much to everyone's surprise Pyro fell on his back and used his back legs to kick the silver hatchling over him and flip on top of him. Pyro being the victor backed off and sat down. Then he and the silver hatchling started laughing.

Before the adults knew it all the hatchlings were playing with one another. The happiness of the dragons was interrupted by an explosion near the entrance to the city. Something was coming that would change the dragons lives forever. Draco turned to Gaia and said, "Gaia take Pyro and head back to the palace. I'll see what's going on." Gaia grabbed Pyro in her jaws and started flying towards the palace while Draco flew off into the distance. Jade grabbed all the younglings and took them back inside. Draco was flying as fast as he could to face whatever was threatening his city. The large red dragon flew over the city wondering what could be happening. He arrived at the site of the explosion to see strange beings coming through the gate of the city. Draco dove to confront the enemy and met them head on.

The beings he saw before him were different from the animals he was used to seeing around the city. These creatures walked on two legs and had strange appendages. The strange beings attacked Draco, but he unleashed his fire breath and forced them back. It wasn't long before the warriors of the city came to battle the strange invaders. One of Draco's warriors took a close look and suddenly recognized the strange creatures. He turned to Draco and said, "Your majesty I think they are humans." This caught all the dragons by surprise. Humans were supposed to live in a separate dimension away from theirs. So what were they doing here in the first place? One of the humans ordered, "Soldiers charge!" Soon they all attacked the dragon's full force, without warning, and guns in hand. Draco turned to his soldiers and yelled, "Dragons ATTACK! Don't let them get past this spot!" Hearing the order the dragons charged and met the human soldiers head on. The dragon's being twice the size as the humans had the advantage for the beginning of the battle. However the humans seemed to have the dragons outnumbered as more and more came from the hole in their wall. Draco noticed the human's vast numbers and gave his soldiers the order to use their powers.

Back with Gaia everything was in panic. She could see the battle even from where she was flying but her first priority was her son. She arrived at the palace and ran inside. She then ran to her room and locked the door. She put Pyro down and curled her body around him for protection. She thought they were safe until she heard a sudden bang outside.

Back at the battlefield, the battle between the dragons, and the humans was fierce, and neither side was willing to let up. Bullets were flying, elements were being fired, and explosions engulfed the whole area. Soon once again the dragons had the upper hand and were driving the humans back. However Draco soon had uneasy feeling that this was too easy, and he was right. The humans he and his soldiers were battling were decoys. The humans were here looking for something and they weren't leaving without it. One of the human leaders was leading a stealth group to the palace and he was making sure not to be noticed. Draco had ordered his soldiers to wrap up the battle while he went check on his family; the soldiers all nodded and continued with the battle. Draco flew over the city seeing the massive destruction the humans caused. As he arrived at the palace he received a shock. His home had been attacked. The humans had taken his wife and his son and Draco was furious.

He leapt into the sky and searched for the humans. After looking he saw his dragoness and child inside a strange case surrounded by humans. Draco dove down and intercepted them; Gaia was happy to see him but the humans weren't. Draco was prepared to fight to the death for his family, but the humans were prepared with some heavy artillery. Draco attacked using his intense fire breath burning most of the soldiers severely. Most of the soldiers regrouped and used missiles to attack the dragon since normal bullets barley had any affect. Draco was pushed back getting repeatedly hit by the oncoming missiles and did his best to keep attacking back. Gaia could only watch in horror as the dragon she loved was being attacked again and again.

Draco had finally had enough. He closed his eyes, and summoned the ancient power only his family possessed. A golden light engulfed Draco and shined over the soldiers, who could only stare. Soon the light flashed and wiped out the remaining soldiers and their weapons. Draco soon emerged from the light exhausted and wounded with a smirk across his face. He walked over to the cage Gaia was being held in to make sure she and Pyro were safe. Gaia gave a sigh of relief but she was still worried about Draco who was wounded during the fight.

As soon as the red dragon got closer to the cage, a soldier stepped from behind and said, "So you're the one were looking for." and shot Draco in the neck. The giant fire dragon soon felt dizzy and his vision was fading, at first all he could see were shapes, and shadows, but soon all together he fell to the ground. The soldier had shot Draco with a tranquilizer dart that had a fast acting sleep agent in it that could affect any animal. The soldier then ordered the others to put Draco in the cage with Gaia. After the soldiers captured the dragons they ordered a full retreat.

All the soldiers fell back to the entrance they all came from leaving the dragons to celebrate; however what the dragons didn't know was that their leaders had just been taken. It had been a few hours since the dragon family was transported. Gaia bent down and whispered, "Draco? Draco can you hear me? Draco?!" until her voice finally reached his ears. He finally woke up to Gaia's voice; they were being transported to a government facility in the human world. The soldiers were teasing the dragons in the cage when one of them spotted Pyro asleep. The soldier stared at the small dragon and said, "Look boys, we caught a small one to"! Gaia noticed the soldiers hand moving toward Pyro, and hissed at him. He quickly pulled his hand out, and backed away from the cage.
