With a total of 22 orbs (jumping in Cloud Spires was a shocking time), Alex and Hunter decide to go to the hottest spot in Molten Crater, the Tiki Lodge.

Unfortunately, it was closed. The yeti continue to bang opened the door but it wouldn't bulge.

Alex scoffed as he stomped across the raggy wooden bridge to a raceway track. A figure dressed in a yellow cloak was on the track, mocking the two and laughing, asking to be killed.

Worse part, it had an orb.

"I'll take care of this joker, go to Seashell Shore and see what Sheila is up. We'll rendezvous at the blimp" Hunter said as he ran onto the track, chasing the thief.

The cheetah ran ten laps before tackling the thief down, getting the orb back.

But there was no time to celebrate as he was push down on the concrete with a lot of force. Hunter looked in front of him.

A new thief in a red cloak holding a another orb moon him before running, a trail of smoke behind.

The track had arrows blinking off.

Hunter got up and start to run, going fast like the thief.

In the castle, Malacore was pacing around while Darla bowed on one knee. "We lost Cornocs in Sunrise Springs. Is your mother and father up to something?"

"Yes Master. She's doing nothing but my father is. They have an new ally with them tho. A yeti named Alex."

"I've heard about a sighting of a yeti. I thought it was Bentley's brother but he's not so bright to fight against me. Whatever they're doing won't defeat me."

Darla smiled in agreement. "She's still weak from your last battle with her. Bianca should know her place when it comes to you Master."

"I'm putting you in charge of this "Alex" yeti. Get rid of him. You know the consequences of failing me, right?"

Darla nod her head, not making eye contact with her master. "I won't fail you again."

Slick landed on his feet. Daphne was kinda impressed with the sudden approve. She couldn't tell if he practice or one day he sucks, the next day, he's good. Either way, she smirk as it was time to advanced magic.

"In sparring, it's not just about magic. It's also and fighting hand to hand. This here..."

Daphne's paws crystallize with spikes sticking out. "My crystal paws can stab and shoot crystal. There's more, but I don't want to tell you all my magic."

"Use your magic to create your own weapon."

Slick close his eyes, creating his weapon in his mind. One weapon came in mind. His hands glowing, energy forming into a ball.

But the ball pop, leaving the wizard in training disappointed.

"It's okay. We got time to create it. But first..." she smirk, aiming her crystal weapon at him.

Slick's eyes widen with fear for what was coming.

Darla walked inside a dark room, making sure nobody followed her. Locking the door, she lit up some purple candles and sat down on a stack of gems. She removed the hood on her head.

"Forgive me. I feel it again, the power of her... I need your guidance. I can't fail again. I won't do it again. Show me again the power, and I'll let nothing stand in our way."

Darla stick her arm out, her palm open. Her eyes opened, changing to purple.

"Show me, Sorceress, and I will finish what you started."

In front of the apprentice was a large picture of the Sorceress. Darla got up and a gust of wind blew the candles out.

Hunter, Sheila, and Alex walked into giant room where an air balloon was set up. Bianca and the citizens of Sunrise Spring gasp at their appearance. Gasp of terror.

"What happened to you, Hunter?" Bianca asked.

"Thief *pant* really *pant* fast" Hunter said. He had cuts and bruises from tackling the thief and missing it a couple of times

What happened to you two?" She asked Alex and Sheila. They were covered in bruises and sand.

"Seals" the two angerly said together.

Alex went to battle Bruno and his super sharkmarine 3000 with a small and barely working speedboat. Bruno wanted to avenge his brother, Bluto and almost destroyed the yeti.

For Sheila, she saw the seals making a defensive change, creating a castle sized sand fortress with cannons.

Unfortunately, the Cornocs took over that fortress.

Bianca shook her head. "Oh I'm so sorry. But at least we got all the orbs in this world. Get some rest and tomorrow we'll travel to Midday Garden."

The three heroes fell over on the marble floor, sighing in exhaustion. Rest was definitely needed.

After teleporting the three back to the cottage, Bianca got her book and sat down near the window.

"Do you mind if I join you?"

Bianca turn to see Alex awake beside her. She nod her head, answering his request. The yeti sat on the other chair, looking out of the window.

"Is it always morning here?" he asked.

"They don't call it Sunrise Spring for nothing."

Alex chuckled at the sarcastic remark. He saw the book Bianca was holding. "Nothing like a good book to read."

"Yeah. I use to read this to my daughter. It was her favorite bedtime story. It was the adventure that changed my life. If it wasn't for Spyro, I-I would've never met the love of my life and I would still be the Sorceress' lacky."

"I'm guessing Spyro is Hunter's best friend. He seems like a awesome guy with a awesome name. But nothing like Parasol Flameheart."

Bianca tilt her head, confused. But let it slide.

"What happened to her?"

Bianca sighed as memories replay in her mind. It wasn't something easy to talk about.

"Her name is Cassino but I call her Cassidy. My beautiful baby girl. She was magically gifted, thanks to me. She understood spells I taught. She would levitate Hunter's food. It was always funny."

Her mood changed to anger.

"Malacore saw the magic in her and wanted her as his apprentice. Him and I battle each other. When he won, he took Cassidy. He put an age spell on her, causing her to be a teen and making her magic stronger.

"When I went to confront Malacore, she was there. I couldn't hurt my girl. But she could, striking me till I was down. Malacore strip me of my powers and I watch as my daughter was about to kill me. But she didn't.

"I don't know if I can face Cassidy again."

Bianca wipe the falling tears and Alex pat her on the back.

"We'll get to her and see if we can get her mind back to normal. It's not going to be easy, but we'll get to her."

The two smile as they were got ready for the next and the journey ahead.
