"Due to the positive reviews my rant got, I posted another chapter, this timeI'm rebutting the points Avimus posted in a review." Neo says.

"First I would like to welcome, AVIMUS!" Avimus walks onstage and shakes Neo's hand.

"Thank you all!" Avimus shouts to the crowd.

"So let's get started!"

Neo pulls out a remote and pushes a button, the screen behind springs to life showing many pictures, photos and texts.

We all love ranting! I could rant all day about things if I wanted to. That's why I want to write a little critical response to your "logical ranting." I'll address your points in "logical" order.

"Yeah, me too" comments Neo, pulling out a sheet of paper and reading it.

1. The planet's explosion wasn't a matter of gravity. If it was, then yes, the planet would probably have imploded, but that was simply not the case. Spyro reversed the flow of time using Convexity (And yes, Convexity is not a real concept, but neither is the game a real situation. It's fantasy, an escape from reality. Not everything has to follow the laws of our world, and even then, there are always exceptions to laws.). Aside from the fact that Spyro caused the switch, it could very well have happened in the real world. Time is much different than what we think it is. When we think of time, we think of seconds, minutes, and hours, past, present, and future, but that's only human perception. Time is not the same everywhere in the universe, and through Einstein's physical definition (rather than philosophical), theorists have argued over the possibility of time dilation, the variance in spacetime over multiple positions. I don't pretend to completely understand time, nor does anybody else, but "scientifically," it's possible.

You can't manipulate time. To even travel through time, you need to travel faster than light, that's not scientifically possible since Einstein's theory states that the faster you go, the heavier you get. Also Einstein says that the faster you go the slower time flows for you. So that proves the "Time-Travel" theory wrong. If you travel faster than light, then the outside world would progress faster than you so you're basically waiting for time to pass instead of traveling through it.

Spyro did not reverse time, if he did, then he'll reset The planet to before the destroyer destroyed it which means the destroyer would re-enter the volcano and destroy the world again. The world would be stuck in an infinite loop!

By the way, time slows down to when it stops completely inside the event horizon of a black hole. If Spyro generated enough energy to reverse time, the power he unleashed would destroy the entire universe.

2. There are countless crystals below the surface of plants, especially salts. Salts have an extremely high melting point. For instance, table salt, NaCl, has a melting point of 800 degrees C. That means that crystals remain solid at extreme temperatures. Of course, I can't combat the fact that the dragons were at the center of the planet on a stone platform, but this is again, fantasy. That fact does not detract from the value of the work.

Right, right and right. I failed to take into account about the Chrystal's melting point. However, even if it was fantasy, the heat would kill everyone. Also the distance from the outer layer to the core is far too short for a planet, or even a moon, if you calculate this, Dragon Realms would be the size of an asteroid!

3. That probably all happened, but if you look at my first explanation, the rebuilding of the planet was more of a question of time. Those effects were therefore reversed.

4. Have you ever heard of the tardigrade, the water bear? I love those little organisms! They can curl up into a ball, freeze for 10 years and dry up into a state of less than 3% water, and then revive themselves, good as new. Additionally, he didn't grow (I mean, Étranges Libellules, the producers, made him look really old, which was sort of annoying, but technically, he was the same age). There's no more scientific explanation to it.

If you looked at Spyro in DOTD you'll realize that he changed shape dramatically, even the producers stated that he's grown. You can see the visible difference!

5. I'll start with the belt, because there wasn't a way around it. It surrounded the land like a huge dome, not an open cylinder. Malefor would have noted that fact. As for Cynder, she was overwhelmed, and she'd only just regained her sense of free-will and self-necessity. Add to that that she was locked into chains and sapped of energy.

If you looked at the cutscene, the belt was not a dome, it was only a big column of fire that went around the globe, another fact is that if it's a dome, THEN DIG UNDER IT!

Malefor wouldn't have noted the fact, he's an idiot, he didn't have the logic to kill Spyro and Cynder while they were trapped inside the crystal. He could've also summoned the destroyer earlier. Malefor is not a bright one, infact, he's not even remotely dim, his lightbulb is PITCH BLACK!

We'll never know what Cynder thought exactly. But you do have a point.

So, you probably now think that I'm a diehard fan and a geek. I'm none of the former and more of the latter. I personally don't like the turns that Spyro took after the original, which is why I'm now writing Fanfiction! In my opinion, the characters were quite well-developed and likeable in the game, but I won't criticize you for not liking the plot or the personages. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and I respect yours for that reason; you either like it or you don't.

I had a fun time writing this, a ranting fun time. Debating is just my sort of thing, you know? Best of luck,

-Avimus Celsec

"Thanks Avimus, without you this chapter wouldn't have existed!" Neo shakes Avimus" hand. "So let's give him a big round of applause!"

"THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Avimus shouts.

Neo and Avimus bows and walks offstage.
