"That was Ember." Blair said, hearing the pink dragoness's plea for help.

"Cynder can you two handle this dragon?" Spyro asked.

"Yea, Seth and I got this Spyro." She said.

"Alright then, Blair the two of us will go support Ember." He said, flying off with Blair following him.

"The two of you really think that you will be enough for me." He said, chuckling. "The two of you are just kids; you wouldn't even be able to give me a scar."

"We are not kids anymore. We are fifteen years old." Cynder retorted.

"Dragons live to be hundreds of years old, so as far as I'm concerned you are still kids." The scarlet dragon said.

"Alright you asked for it. Seth, you ready?" She said, turning towards him. He nodded at her, indicating that he was ready. "Alright let's do this."

The fire dragon blew a fireball towards the dragons. Both Seth and Cynder extinguished the fireball with their combined wind breath.

"How did you do that?"

"Your fire is weak; it does not have any power or heat behind it." Cynder explained.

"How dare you say that I have trained for years perfecting my technique. I have even reached the class of apprentice."

"Then that is the problem you see the two of us are in the master class." She said.

"No that can't be."

"I am sorry sir, but I cannot forgive you for what you said to her." Seth said, opening his maw. "Wind Element: Cutting Wind Breath." Seth shot out a spinning breath of wind that traveled from his mouth to the fire dragon. The dragon had no time to prepare for the attack, and was instantly cut up by the wind breath. The attack opened up cuts throughout the dragon's body. Blood began flowing out of the newly formed wounds; the dragon began falling towards the ground.

"I will not let anyone hurt you Cynder." He said, turning towards her. "Whether it be emotional, or physical I will not let any pain come to you. If somehow you do receive pain I will make them pay."

"Thank you, Seth." She said, nuzzling up to him.


"What's that?" Blair said, pointing to the figure in front of them.

"It looks like another fire dragon. Our spy said that there were four of these guys. I'm guessing that this guy is the second one." Spyro said.

"I'll take him on Spyro. You go on ahead."

"No we should do it as a pair just like Cynder and Seth. That way we can watch each other's backs."

"No Spyro, at times like these we have to split up so you can go on ahead." She said.

"It's just that last time this happened." He said, trying to focus on the main objective.

"We are stronger this time Spyro don't worry about what happened last time. Focus on the now, and go on ahead." She received a nod from him.

He flew over the dragon, and left him to Blair. She stopped in front of him, waiting for him to make the first move.

"Well look what landed in front of me. By the looks of it you are a fire dragon as well let us see which one of us is stronger." He opened his maw, releasing his fire breath attack.

The attack covered Blair, who did not move out of the way, flapping her wings she extinguished the fire. "You are not on my level. Two years ago that was the same fire breath that I would use. Let me show you what a true fire breath feels and looks like." She said, opening her mouth.

A burst of flame escaped her maw. The dragon used his wings as a shield in hope that it would offer some protection against her fire breath. The attack covered the dragon, and he soon found out how much deadly her attack was than his. He began to feel the attack's heat increase, and that it was increasing in size. The dragon's skin was beginning to burn. His skin could not resist this kind of intensity. Blair saw the dragon fall to the island below her, he had passed out from pain.

"I guess our spy's information was wrong. They are not master class level." She said, flying away.


"What are you doing?" Spyro asked, staring across to his opponent. The dragon had encountered a dark red orange dragon. The two had landed on a deserted island that was resting on a crater of lava. At the moment the red-orange dragon was taking a weird pose that Spyro was not familiar with.

"You do not know what this is?" He asked.

"The only thing that comes to mind is that you are taking a fighting style stance." He responded.

"Exactly this is the Dragon Fist Style." He said, rushing at the purple dragon. Spyro began dodging the dragon's attacks with ease, but saw that the dragon had no intentions of fighting him. He only wanted to stall.

"So that's your plan alright then I'll end this fight." He said, beginning to open his maw.

A cloaked dragon appeared behind the dark red-orange dragon. "Heated Dragon Fighting Style: Burning Paralysis." He said, punching the dragon's spine with both his fist. The dragon fell towards the ground unable to move.

"Who are you?" Spyro asked.

"Long time no see Spyro." He said, throwing away his cloak. The dragon underneath had red and blue scales. He was the same age as Spyro, but a little bit taller than the dragon. His body type was the same as Spyro.

"Blaze!" Spyro said, rushing over to greet the dragon. "Thanks for the help."

"No problem, but by the looks of it you didn't need it. You were about to finish him off."

"Yea, but you did it with just your paws."

"Yea, it's thanks to the new fighting style I learned." He said.

"So I take it that you achieved Master Class as well?" Spyro asked.

"Yea, they gave me Master Class rank E."

"Wait rank E?" Spyro said in confusion.

"You didn't receive a letter?" Blaze said, wondering why Spyro didn't. "Maybe they forgot to give you one. Anyways I'm surprised that they sent you guys."

"Wait so you're the spy?"

"Yea I came here on my own. I thought that one of the Guardians was going to come, but I guess that they thought that you guys could handle it. Listen Spyro there is still one last dragon that we have to worry about, and another that I suspect could be traitorous."

"Who do you think that it could be?"

"The dragon that was hanging around Cole, Magmus."

"Alright then let's go." Spyro said, flying towards Cole.

As they were flying Spyro was tackled towards an island by another fire dragon.

"Spyro!" Blaze called out.

"You go on ahead; I will take care of this guy." He said, watching Blaze fly ahead just like he had been told. Spyro looked at the dragon in front of him and saw something strange about him. His eyes were giving off a dark red light.

"Who are you?"

"Defeat my pawn, and find out purple dragon." He said, breathing fire at Spyro.

He dodged the dragon's attacks and proceeded to open his maw, releasing a medium sized ice ball. It froze the dragon's fire breath. Spyro began covering his wings, hind legs, and forelegs in electricity. He flew towards the dragon, who could not keep up with Spyro. He saw that Spyro had covered his body parts in electricity so that he could increase his speed by some amount. Spyro began pummeling the dragon.

"Alright that is enough." The dragon said, before collapsing onto the ground. Spyro witnessed as another dragon made its way out of the fire dragon's body. A large scarlet scaled dragon stood in front of Spyro. "Long time no see purple dragon."

"Who are you?" Spyro asked.

"You don't remember me. I guess it is because when you first met me I looked like someone else." He appeared in front of the purple dragon, surprising him. "Let's see what the future holds. Does that ring any bells?"

Spyro jumped back, he tried remembering where he had heard those words before. "You, but how can it be. You were a cheetah."

"It was all a trick so you would not become suspicious." He said, backing away from Spyro.

"What do you want?"

"If you impress me I will tell you who I am." He said, smiling at him.

"Alright then, but from the looks of it unlike every dragon I have met here. You are actually a threat." He said, closing his eyes, and opening them to reveal that they were now highlighted dark purple.

"So you finally mastered those eyes." He said, throwing multiple punches at Spyro.

"Yes, and I can also do this." He said, incasing the dragons legs in earth. "And this Ice Element: Freezing Wind." Spyro began using his ice breath, but at the same time flapped his wings. The ice breath traveled further across the island. It began freezing a third of the large island. Spyro stopped his attack once he saw that his opponent was frozen solid. He began walking away.

"Not bad kid," the dragon said, shattering his frozen prison. "You've impressed me enough."

"How did you get out of that?" Spyro asked stunned.

"Because I am beyond your capabilities Spyro, but nonetheless you managed to impress me. There is no denying that you have grown since the last time I saw you. As a reward I will tell you who I am. I am the Judge of Dread: Syx, which means that I judge those who hate themselves."

"A Judge, so you judge the dead?" He asked.

"Yes, and even though I was asked not to inform you of this. I want to see what you will do with this information. One of our members is returning very soon. I believe that by the end of today he will be back. The Judge of Corruption: Malefor, with him our group will once again be complete."

"No that can't be he is dead."

"Yes, but with your help we brought him back Spyro. We used your blood and power to reawaken him. It took two years, but he will finally be freed of his crystal prison. I know what you are thinking where will he appear? There was a small town built by a cult devoted to Malefor. It is located where the Well of Souls used to be. They will be able to tell you his location once he escapes" He said.

"If what you say is true then just like the last time I will stop him." Spyro said, stepping forward.

The dragon smiled at Spyro's confidence. "Before I go I would like to ask. Do you still remember the prophecies I told you about during our first encounter?"

"Yes, and I still don't believe that they will come true."

"Still in denial I see it is pretty apparent that one has already come true. That other dragon is no longer with the rest of you. Was that not one of the predictions? I told you that the two of you would seek out different paths."

"Well that's just one, and from what Cynder told me about the prophecy you told her. As it stands now it is impossible for that prophecy to be fulfilled."

"Believe in what you want purple dragon. Just remember that currently there are many things that you and the Guardians should be worried about." He said before disappearing.


"I do not want you to leave." Magmus said.

"I need to leave because they need me at Warfang. I have to teach the new generations of dragons. I have already taught you everything that I know." Cole said.

"Fine then I can see that there is no reasoning with you. Lave Element: Lava Spit." He said, opening his maw, and shooting out a glob of lava.

"Fire Element: Fire Wall," Cole said, breathing out fire that took the form of a wall. It protected the dragon from Magmus's attack. "Do not do this Magmus, nothing will come out of it."

"If I become a threat to this city then you will have no choice, but to remain here as its leader." He said, flying lower towards the crater of lava. "Lava Element:," he said, placing his claw on his mouth. "Volcanic Awakening." He formed a small drop of lava on his claw.

"No! Do not do that Magmus."

"To late teacher." He said, letting the small drop of lava fall towards the lava crater.

The volcano began to shake with fury it was evident that the attack had forced the volcano into erupting.

"You fool, I was going to choose you as the new leader, but it looks like now you are going to be its destroyer." Cole said, flowing higher up into the air. He saw that his information had shocked Magmus. He put his paws out in front of him, and formed a circle with them. "Fire Element: Heat Divider."

The lava wall that had been encircling Flame and Ember began disappearing. They felt the heat from it begin to lower. The two looked up and saw that Cole had done something to make it disappear. The two were once again able to fly away from it. They flew towards Cole's location. They saw that Cynder, Seth, Blair, and what appeared to be Blaze were making their way towards him as well.

"Long time no see guys." Blaze said, joining up with them.

"Took you long enough to show up." Blair remarked.

"So what is the situation here?" Blaze asked.

"It seems that the volcano is going to blow up. I am afraid that I am going to need everyone's help if I am going to have any chance in stopping it. First are any of you wind dragons?" Cole asked.

"We are," Seth said, pointing to himself and Cynder.

"Ok when the volcano erupts, I will need the two of you to clear the skies of any black smoke. Do not let it reach the city. Judging by your scales, I'm guessing that all of you, excluding her are fire dragons. The three of you will encircle the volcano. If lava begins flowing towards the city the three of you will have to come up with a way to stop it. I will remain here, and find out a way to stop the lava from flowing out."

"That will not end well for you." Spyro said, arriving.

"I might perish, but at least the city will remain safe."

"Then let me do it." Magmus said, flying towards them. "After all this is my fault."

"Are you doing this because you feel sorry for what you have done, or because you believe that I am disappointed in you?"

"No I want to do this because it is my duty as a citizen. Since you are leaving this city, there is no reason for you to risk your life." He said, diving down towards the lava pit.

The dragon entered the lava pit. The others watched as the lava in the crater decreased in volume. The dragon was pushing the lava back into the volcano. He was stopping it from erupting. The dragon came out of it. His skin was boiling from the intensity of the heat. He landed on a small island. The dragons flew down towards him, Ember began treating his wounds.

"Did I do it?" Magmus asked.

"Yes, I am very proud of you Magmus." Cole said.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted teacher, I don't believe that I deserve the title of leader for this city." Magmus said.

"Your earlier actions certainly proved that, but what you did just now shows that you are on the right path. I will let the citizens decide who they deem worthy of becoming the next leader meanwhile you must let those wounds heal."

Cole took Magmus back towards the temple were he would be able to receive further aid for his wounds. The dragon explained what had happened to the older dragons. They agreed not to punish Magmus for his actions since he had stopped the eruption form occurring. Cole told them that he would let the citizens decide who the next leader should be. He walked back towards Magmus in order to say his farewells.

"I will be going to Warfang now, Magmus." He said.

"Yea, I understand. I hope that you will be a great contribution to them." Magmus said.

"I hope that one day you will be this city's leader." He said, turning towards the exit. "I'm sure you'll do just fine on your own. After all, you are my student."

Cole flew back down towards the entrance of the Fire City. Where he reunited with Spyro's group.

"Alright are all of you ready?" Spyro asked.

"I believe we are, let's get going." Cole said.

The dragons flew off back to Warfang.


(A/N): The reason why this chapter took so long was because I decided to combine two chapters. The pacing in the fights were also much faster than previous ones. I wanted to show off that Spyro and his friends can now deal with enemies that would have been a problem for them two years ago very easily. This chapter was mainly to show off how much they've grown, and advance the plot of the story. I know that quality wise this chapter was not the best. Future chapters will be better.
