Author's Note: Please be advised that I do not own Spyro the Dragon. I only own Blaster and Blade. If I had owned Spyro the Dragon, I wouldn't be saying this.


Chapter 2: The Artisan Home World

Blaster and Spyro began to run around the immediate area, collecting some gems and killing some Gnorc Soldiers. Sparx and Blade had to keep up with the two dragons, who were beginning to look at each other like brothers. Soon enough, the two Dragonflies were buzzing to each other.

"Looks like they are getting to know each other," Blaster said, picking up some gems and watching them magically disappear on contact. "It's a shame I don't know much about myself."

This happened to be the truth for once in Blaster's case. He was unaware of his previous adventures; completely unaware he was from a different universe. For all he knew, he was a rare, black and silver dragon running around with an extremely rare purple and yellow dragon, and had no memories of his earlier years. Eventually, Spyro began to speak.

"So, how bad do you think we could get him?"

"Huh?" Blaster replied, obviously not paying attention.

"Gnasty Gnorc," Spyro said. "How bad do you think we will get him?"

"Depends," Blaster replied, toasting a sheep-like fodder, and releasing a butterfly for Blade. "We want him burnt to a crisp, correct?"

"Well, that's what I want to do," Spyro said.

"I wanna to-…to-…" Blaster said, as if trying to stifle another sneeze, but was unsuccessful. The resulting sneeze caused ice crystals to come out of Blaster's nose and freeze the nearest sheep into a block of ice. This caused Blaster to pause for a second. "On second thought, if I can't torch him, I'll give him the cold shoulder."

"Okay, so, we are trying to get the gems and save the dragons," Spyro said. "So far, we have saved four dragons and found about 95 gems, but I don't know where the other gems are. We should have 100 by now."

"Search me!" Blaster replied. The two dragons searched the world over, but found nothing. Well, nothing until Blaster found a treasure chest they missed.

"Found them," Blaster said.

"Great," Spyro replied. "If we keep getting all the gems in each world, we'll have all the gems by the time we beat Gnasty."

"And how many are there?"

"Can't remember if it's 12000 or 14000," Spyro said. (a)

"Okay," Blaster muttered to himself. "There is a 2000 gem difference. Might be in-between. You never know." Blaster paused, thinking for a second before walking back out into the open with Spyro. "I have a quick question," Blaster said. "If the older dragons could easily take out this Gnorc character, why are they not doing that?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," Spyro replied. It was Spyro's turn to think for a second. After a few seconds, he remembered what the first freed dragon said. "So, what Nestor said was to find 10 dragons, then head to the Peace Keepers world."

"I counted four," Blade said. Blaster relayed the message.

"So, where do we go from here?" Blaster asked.

"How about a trip through Stone Hill," Spyro said, looking at one of the few portals in the world.

"And how do we go about doing that?" Blaster asked.

"Don't you know how to travel through portals?" Spyro asked.

"Look at me," Blaster said. "I'm stupid."

"I notice," Sparx muttered to Blade.

"Like this," Spyro said, quickly turning around and extending his wings to glide through the portal.

"Oh," Blaster muttered, unfurling his wings and taking off at a run to catch up to Spyro. Sparx and Blade were quick to follow. As the duo glided to Stone Hill, Blaster caught up to Spyro. "I still can't believe you told Argus to do that cool flash again."

"What?" Spyro said defensively. "It was a cool flash and I wanted to see if he could do it again."

Blaster just rolled his eyes before streamlining himself to glide faster than Spyro. The rest of the Dragon Realm needed saving.


Please excuse me for not updating in FOREVER…I have been busy with other fics. Please R&R. Flames will be terminated, suggestions welcome.

(a) Why don't they make SURE they know how many gems they've got?
