Prologue. Krystal Leone.

Raindrops plummeted to the earth below like Bullets. The wind seemed to howl like a pack of starving wolves. The stormclouds were so dark, not even the light of the sun could penetrate it. Most creatures wouldn't dare to brave this weather. Most.

One Winged reptile, a Cloudrunner, was determined enough to fly through these dangerous conditions, the Cloudrunner was carrying a young white Lioness named Krystal on it's back. Krystal had just recently turned 14, on the night before her birhtday, she fell asleep in her bed and woke up in an unfamiliar fortress on an alien planet.

"I picked up a garbled S.O.S. call..." Krystal explained to the Cloudrunner.
"It said something about a Mountain in a storm!"
The Cloudrunner nodded.
Suddenly...FWooooosssssssshhh A large ball of red hot coals flew near the two's direction, barely grazing the Tip of Krystal's ear.
A Giant Galleon with a moving Dragon's head at it's bow seemed to materialize from the stormclouds. The Dragon head's roar was loud enough to break the sound barrier.

Krystal pulled her staff out of her backpack and pointed at the ship. The Cloudrunner circled around it and moved to the stern.
"FIREBALL!" Krystal shouted. Krystal shot many fireballs at the turrets on the ship's stern, The turrets retaliated with a bombardment of hot coals.
Krystal continued the fireball onslaught until both turrets went up in smoke.

"If i take out the propellor, i just might sink it..." Krystal thought to herself.
"I have an idea. Go lower!" Krystal suggested. The Cloudrunner nodded and flew lower so that they would be able to face the propellor.
"FIREBALL!"
Krystal shot several fireballs at each of the propellor's large blades one by one until each of the blades fell to the sea blow.
Suddenly a large, widely-plumed Blue bird flew out of the dragon's head, flew around the turrets, and the turrets were instantly repaired.

"Gah! Not again!" Krystal growled in frustration.
"Well, i guess i have no choice...FIREBALL!"
Krystal fired away at the turrets while dodging the hot coal onslaught once more until the dragon's head roared angrily and the ship turned around to face them as if the Galleon had recieved a mind of it's own.

Krystal and the Cloudrunner flew out of the way of the ship as it attempted to ram into them.
"Now or never...FIREBALL!" Krystal waited for the Galleon to come back for another round and then shot a few more fireballs at the Dragon's head this time.

The Head roared in agony as it burst into flames.

"Yes! We did it!" Krystal purred excitedly!
The Cloudrunner landed atop a mound of wood and coals that was once a turret, Krystal jumped off of the Cloudrunner's back and said graciously "Thank you for the help! I think i can handle it from here!"
The Cloudrunner then nodded and flew away.

Meanwhile, Krystal proceeded to explore the ship...

Chapter 1: General Scales.

Krystal Looked at the large ship around her.
"Nice Craftsmanship for a bunch of sharpclaws!" Krystal thought to herself, remembering what the Cloudrunners told her about the Sharpclaw tribe.

Krystal looked at the dozens of Winged Reptiles staring at her, one of them suddenly blurted "What are you doing at Cloudrunner Fortress? Are you an Agent of the Sharpclaw Tribe!" Krystal looked back at him confused and scared. "CloudRunner Fortress? Sharp...Claw...Tribe?" She asked.
"Glide! Stand Down!" A feminine voice commanded. The Cloudrunners stepped back and looked behind them, A Royally Dressed Female CloudRunner walked up to Krystal.
"I am Queen of the Cloudrunner Tribe. I am a Cloudrunner, this is our home, Cloudrunner Fortress! There're 7 other Tribes on this Planet, One of them is the Sharpclaw Tribe, a nasty bunch of bandits who have always wanted to rule Dinosaur Planet!"

"Dinosaur Planet? Is this where i am now?" Krystal asked. The Queen then nodded and replied "These Sharpclaws are, as you would say, 'Dumb'. They only know basic Survival instincts..."

Krystal's reminiscing was disturbed by a faint chirping noise, Krystal climbed up a set of stairs leading to the captain's quarters and found a young, Wine-Red Cloudrunner imprisoned in a birdcage bolted to the door.
Krystal said to the little Cloudrunner softly "What is your name, you cute little dinosaur?"
The Cloudrunner looked at Krystal and declared "My name is Kyte! Royal Heir to the Cloudrunner Throne!"

"Is that so? Maybe i could help you get out of here..." Krystal suggested.
"You need to explore below deck." Kyte explained.
Krystal then nodded and walked down the stairs looking for a way below deck.
Krystal saw a doorway and decided to see where it led. Luckily for her, the Doorway led below deck. Krystal walked down several steps and found a large room, in the center, A key rested gently atop a Metal Sharpclaw crate.
Krystal tiptoed into the chamber, hugging the walls, Looking for Sharpclaw Guards, when she discovered the coast was clear, She then decided to help herself to the key.
"I wonder if this opens the cage door..." Krystal thought to herself as she prepared to walk back on deck. Krystal returned to Kyte and unlocked the cage door.
"So was it this 'General Scales' who locked you into this cage or something?" Krystal asked. Kyte nodded and replied "He invaded my home and took me because he knew i was able to access the magic power of the Spellstones!"
"SpellStones? Krystal said confused. "It's just one mystery after another for me today..." She thought to herself.

Suddenly, a loud banging noise could be heard from the other side of the door to the captain's quarters. Krystal and Kyte ran downstairs and out of the way, when a very tall, armored dinosaur leapt out of the cabin and leered at them, noticing Kyte was free.

"General Scales...Tyrant, dictator, and ruler of the Sharpclaw tribe, and who might YOU be, animal girl?" The dinosaur said.

Krystal thought to herself "THAT'S Scales?" She remembered the queen Cloudrunner warning her about scales.

"The Sharpclaw may only know Basic survival instincts, but General Scales was born extemely intelligent...He was able to fashion armor and make weapons for his tribe, and built many war machines to aid him in his mission to rule Dinosaur Planet!" The queen declared.
"Uh-huh, so Scales is a bad guy..." Krystal murmured.
"Yes, he is an Evil General! He has defeated our army at Krazoa Palace and taken over many areas of Dinosaur Planet...Including this very fortress..." The queen said, suddenly downhearted. "He took my daughter, princess Kyte..." She said weakly.

"Gosh, i'm so sorry...Maybe i could help you get her back..." Krystal suggested. She showed the Cloudrunners her staff and said "I could fight him with this..."

The queen looked at her gratefully and said "If you insist, one of my warriors will escort you to Scales's Galleon...It will be dangerous, so i will give you time to make up your mind and prepare yourself for the battles ahead."

Snapped out of her thoughts by Kyte squawking defensively, Krystal replied "My name is Krystal! And i've come to investigate a distress signal!"

"A distress signal? This whole Planet is in distress!" Scales laughed.

"The Cloudrunner tribe told me about you, the Evil General!" Krystal said, pointing at him.

"My girl, i am not evil...I merely trying to rule a planet in fear, for a planet in fear will not fight against me!" Scales explained. Scales jumped in front of Krystal and grabbed her by the neck.

"Do you think YOU could defeat ME?" Scales taunted, dragging her on the floor.
Scales held her over the side of the ship and screamed "No one can defeat General Scales!". He then threw Krystal overboard.

Scales began laughing, unknown to him, the cloudrunner soldier had caught her and lifted her on his back, Kyte followed after.

"Now let's try to find the source of that distress signal!" Krystal whispered.
About an hour later, the Cloudrunner soldier that saved Krystal brought her to a large, mysterious palace. As Krystal got off Kyte's back, he explained.
"This is Krazoa palace, Dinosaur Planet's most sacred place...Scales's force may have already reached this place, so be cautious!" As the soldier flew back to his fortress, Kyte took flight and said "I will keep watch over the palace..."

Krystal studied her surroundings carefully, Floating, metallic jellyfish-like creatures, strange marble statues of large, birdlike creatures, sheet metal floors, an unreachable (for now) balcony above her, and to her right, a ramp leading to a way inside...

Krystal unsheathed her staff, jumped into the air, and stabbed the first jelly-creature in the top of it's head, impaling it. The second guardian attempted to ram, her. Krystal countered by swinging her staff at it like a baseball bat...The monster flew right into an indent in the wall and burst into robot pieces.
Krystal then pointed her staff at the reinforced wooden crates and bellowed "FIREBALL!".
A small ball of flame zoomed from out of the tip of the staff and collided with the crates, the crates then exploded.

Krystal progressed down the ramp when she noticed another robot jelly. She crouched behind a nearby broken column for cover, aimed her staff like a hunting rifle and whispered "Fireball!" A fireball flew at the robot, arcing it's inner workings...As it plummeted to the floor, Krystal came out of hiding to go further, that's when she noticed a large, short-legged, three-horned dinosaur lying on the floor in pain.

"An EarthWalker!" Krystal thought to herself.
Krystal bent down on her knees to talk to the wounded dinosaur.
"S-Scales...And his army have...Invaded this palace...I-It is not safe for you here...Leave for your own protection!" The Dinosaur muttured weakly.
