Spyro and Cynder decide to fly back to the desert, and search there once more. They fly over the ocean and begin to scout the desert. They stay above the mountains.
"Is that a volcano?" asks Spyro.
"Yea, if she's anyplace here, she would be in a volcano, or a snowy mountain, but there is no snow here." says Cinder, knowing Dark's love for lava and fly by the volcano and circle it.
"Dark, you there?" yells Cynder.
"Sparx, where are you?" yells Spyro.
"She's not here. Look, more smoke, maybe there is another volcano." says Cinder.
"Either that, or she's sleeping." says Spyro, knowing how Dark breathes smoke while sleeping.

Jak POV

Sig and I drive to the Metalhead nest, and begin blasting away. There are all kinds of Metalhead here, scorpions, centipedes, giants, and any other kind you can think of.
"Somethin's goin' down here. I don't like it." says Sig. As we get to the entrance of the tunnel, a giant metal head cuts us off. As I go to quickly switch gears, the cut that the animal caused, starts pounding, making me groan and stop moving my foot.
"JAK!" yells Sig and Daxter. I hurriedly use my other foot to stop the vehicle, inches from hitting the Metalhead and crashing. Sig shoots the Metalhead and continues shooting. We drive through the nest shooting every Metalhead we find. After an hour and a half, we kill the rest of the Metalheads, or at least the ones that didn't retreat. Then, we begin making our way out.

Spyro and Cynder

"Nothing, we've looked everywhere. I don't know about you, but this desert's heat is getting to me, I'm tired." says Spyro.
"We should make our way back to the ocean and get a drink." says Cynder.
"Good idea." says Spyro following Cynder back to the ocean. Soon, they are back at the desert beach.
"Looks like it's getting dark, we should look for someplace to sleep tonight. I don't want to be down here after dark, you never know what comes out at night in this realm." says Cynder.
"We should look for a small cave." says Spyro. They split up and search the nearby mountains for any small caves.
"Spyro! I found one." shouts Cynder.
"Coming!" replies Spryo. When Spyro returns, they both go into the cave.
"Roomy, and there are no back tunnels." says Cynder.
"Sounds perfect. I'm tired." says Spyro, curling up in the right side of the cave. Cynder curls up on the left side, and soon both dragons drift to sleep.

The next morning 3rd POV

Curiosity gets the best of Torn. He grabs a spare Peacemaker and flashlight, then heads towards the front door. He tells the guard to get help if he don't return in about two hours. Torn gets on his zoomer and flies to Haven Forest. It's pretty early, the sun hasn't even risen yet. He looks around before walking into the darkness. He sees something glowing in the distance, so, he turns on his flashlight and heads over. As he heads over, the sound of the water's rushing drowns out any other noise. Behind him, a bush rustles quietly. Torn doesn't hear it and continues walking. A Metalhead twice Torn's size slowly and quietly follows Torn, waiting for the right moment. Torn gets to the tall hill. He puts the Peacemaker in his waistband's holster and grabs a ledge. Before he can pull himself up, the Metalhead grabs his foot, pulling him down. The Peacemaker falls out of the holster and is smashed by the Metalhead, leaving torn with only a flashlight. Dark wakes at the thud from their landing. Not very happy at being awoken this early in the morning, she has pure anger in her red eyes. She hops down, being able to see in the dark. She roars with rage at the Metalhead. Sparx is awakened from the roar and immediately knows what s going on. He knows Dark hates being woken in the morning, and will rip apart anything that awakens her. Unless of course, there is a good reason.
