Alright, guys, this is the seventh chapter my loyal readers, and I would greatly appreciate a bit more favorites and reviews, I would like a bit more love on this crossover story of my mine. Anyway, I want you all to enjoy my story, and without further adieu here's chapter seven, everyone.


Ch. 7: Ignitus you've returned

Spyro continued hugging Ignitus tighter and tighter, as he sobbed in joy. The large blue dragon gave a small smile, and hugged the young purple dragon back with his wings, and nuzzled him affectionately with his snout.

"Young dragon, it is great to see you again, my friend. Do not be sad, Spyro. I have returned once again." Ignitus said softly to the purple dragon.

"But how is this possible, Ignitus? We saw you die in the Belt of Fire in front of our eyes. How are you even alive and why are you blue?" Cynder asked in curiosity.

Ignitus sighed softly, and pointed for Cynder and the two to have a seat, which they did with no comment. He then petted Spyro gently on the head, attempting to calm the poor purple dragon down. He saw Spyro was no longer crying, and asked him to sit down with his three friends, so he could explain to them how he came back from the dead and became the new Chronicler.

"You four younglings ready?" Ignitus asked them.

"We sure are, big guy. Tell away." Sparx said.

"You see, after I sacrificed myself in the Belt of Fire, so Spyro and Cynder could reach Malefor's lair, and finally end his reign of terror on the Dragon Realms. My sprit was brought into the Chronicler's home, where he showed me Spyro and Cynder in their fight against Malefor, and when the great Ancients were finally able to seal him away into the crystal core of our world, I used what little energy I had left to appear before Spyro, and helped him realize his true destiny as the purple dragon, to save the world from destruction. Once my propose was fulfilled, the Chronicler passed his duties onto me before heading into the afterlife, my young friends. Once I became the new Chronicler, I regained my body and have new strength. I've been watching all of you very closely, even you, Bartok." He said to the floor.

"Hold on, you've been watching me too, big blue guy?" Bartok said as he chuckled nervously.

"Indeed I have, my little bat friend. I know you were once a minion to the evil wizard known as, Rasputin, and he's somehow entered the Dragon Realms now." Ignitus said as he sighed sadly. "But, I also bring more bad news, my friends. The Dragon Realms are in grave danger."

"They are, Ignitus? From what, or who?" Cynder asked.

"Even though, you and Spyro managed to defeat Malefor, he was able to break free from his crystal prison the Ancients placed him inside and escape once again, to wreak havoc across the lands." He said as he saw them all look horrified.

"What? No, it can't be! Not again!" Spyro shouted into the sky. "We finally defeated him, and now he's returned to destroy us all!

"Calm down, Spyro. Now's not the time to lose hope, my friend. Yes, Malefor did indeed escape, but his escape also came with a cost. You see, after he used most of his energy to escape the core, and when he finally returned to the Dragon Realms, he was severely wounded and almost too weak to even stand up, since then he's been within the ruins of Mountain of Malefor slowly recovering and regaining his former strength, so he could once again attack the Dragon Realms more powerful than ever before." He said to them.

"Okay, so the big evil dragon is back to terrorize the realm, but its weak and hurt to fight us, right? Well, let's just head to his lair, and finish the evil dragon off, once and for all, guys." Sparx said as he flew around Ignitus happily.

"Sparx does have a point, Ignitus. Me and Cynder could go there, and finish the battle." Spyro said as he stood back up.

"I'm afraid its not that easy, Spyro. Its true that the Dark Master has been weakened and vulnerable to attack right now, but his fortress is still well guarded and he'll have Rasputin right be his side, along with his other generals ready to attack you four, plus you're not ready to face him yet, young dragon." Ignitus said in a stern tone.

"I see, Ignitus." Spyro said as he lowered his head. "So, what do I do now, so I can be ready for the final battle?"

"You'll have to destroy Malefor's remaining generals, Spyro. When all his generals have been destroyed, then you may head for the Mountain of Malefor." Ignitus said to his purple companion. "And destroy all of his evil forces and his evil magic, once and for all."

"I'll do it, Ignitus. We won't let you down." Spyro said.

"Glad to hear it. Now, with that matter settled, I've got a special task for you four." He said.

"What is it, dude?" Sparx asked the blue dragon.

"Malefor has set up another mining operation in the volcanic lands of Munitions Forge, and stop his ape soldiers from gathering the Sprit Gems. The Sprit Gems provide Malefor with the energy he needs to rise once again to power, and we cannot allow that to happen, so I want you four to clear out all of the apes, and destroy the mine forever. Mole-Yair and some of the Manweersmalls are already there waiting for your arrival." Ignitus said.

"Okay, so we're gonna head into a dangerous erupting volcano to stop the apes from mining gems? Sparx said in a sarcastic tone of voice. "Sounds like a fun adventure, guys."

"Good luck, my friends." Ignitus said before turning to Bartok. "I'll be watching you, Bartok. Your love for Spyro and his friends is strong, and I know you'll help them out as much as you can."

"Gee, thanks, Ignitus. I'll be right there for my friends, no matter what!" Bartok said and flew into the sky, with his three friends.

"Next stop: Munitions Forge!" Sparx said as he flew past Spyro.

Ignitus watched the four young heroes fly off into the sky, and head towards the volcanic lands, ready to fight off Malefor's evil forces. He closed his eyes, and softly said, "May the ancestors look after you. May they look after us all."

Meanwhile at the Mountain of Malefor, Malefor, Rasputin and their ape armies are seen watching the four heroes heading towards Munitions Forge, all of them growling in anger and disqust.

"Those fools must not be allowed to destroy that mine! I need those gems recharge my powers!" Malefor roared in anger.

"I will take care of that pitiful dragon and the incompetent rodent, once and for all, Lord Malefor!" Rasputin said as he laughed evily.

"No, Rasputin! You've already failed me, and I have the perfect creature ready for those four." Malefor said as he smirked evily. "Da'growl, come forward!"

Just then, Rasputin and the apes suddenly see massive armored Hero Orc emerge from the shadows. They could see he was much bigger than the other Hero Orcs, had black armor all over his body, wields a giant enchanted battle axe, and has these two glowing green gauntlets on his hands. The Hero Orc's head was covered in glowing green fire, and its eyes were bright red.

"What is that thing?" Rasputin asked.

"This is my minion Da'growl, Rasputin. He's been remade by my dark magic, and transformed into a tool, only meant to serve me!" Malefor said evily. "Da'growl, you know your mission."

"Yes. I will protect the mines, and destroy Spyro and Bartok, once and for all!" Da'growl replied to his master.

Malefor then used his dark magic, and transported Da'growl into Munitions Forge, ready for his monster to destroy the four heroes, once and for all.


Un-oh, it looks like Malefor's created a new monster to destroy the four heroes. Will Spyro and his friends manage to destroy the mine, or will Da'growl put them all six feet under? What do you think will happen?

Read and review. The eighth chapter will be up within a couple days, my friends. See ya later! :)
