Me: "Well I'm back and we have some people coming to stay to help me with my story"
Star: "Really. Who"
Me: "That is a surprise, so wait till they get here"
Crystal: "Come on can't you give us a hint"
Draco: "You know there not going to stop…right"
Me: "Yes I know. But I'm still not going to tell"
Tiamat: "Just tell us already"
Ryuu: "What the hell are you doing here?"
Rose: "She's here because she lives here"
Rose said walking right next to her.
Crystal, Star, and Ryuu turn and look at me.
Me: "What! She is one of my characters so she lives with me, like you're doing"
Crow: "Than were does she sleep?" Crow asked walking into the living room.
Me: "Uh…"
Me and Tiamat were blushing.
Tiamat: "I sleep in his room in his bead and he sleep on a hammock"
Star, Crystal and Ryuu start laughing rolling on the ground.
Crystal: "Oh my god you like her"
Me: "No I don't. She's sleeping in my room because I need the other rooms for my friends and the ones I'm adding aren't ready yet"
Before anyone could say anything else there was a knock at the door so I went to get it. When I opened it I saw my friend's The-Kei-Man, Ashe Shinkuri, and .Hearts.x standing there.
Me: "Kei! Ashe! Hearts! It's good to see you again"
Kei: "It's good to see you too, Ryuu" he said punching me in the arm.
Ashe: "How long has it been since we saw each other" she said hugging me.
Hearts: "It's been to long for me" she said also hugging me.
Me, Ashe, Kei, and Hearts walked into the living room to meet everyone.
Me: "Guys this is Kei, Ashe, Hearts. My friends"
Everyone: "Nice to meet you three"
Hearts: "You know you don't have to call me a friend brother"
Everyone "…Brother"
Me: "Yes. Hearts is my sister"
Me: "well why don't you three greet the readers"
Ashe, Kei, and Hearts: "Hope you like the chapter, read and review when you're done"
Chapter 10: Warfang
Draco, Crystal, and Star were waiting near the main gates. Draco packed everything and put it in the other dimension. He was wearing his dragon scale armor and cloak with the hood down, Draco had his bow and arrows strapped to his back along with a bag filled with dome blankets and food. Strapped to his waist was a green katana with a handle looking like a vine.
"Where are they?" Crystal asked.
"Who knows?" Draco replied.
"There they are" Star pointed at Spyro, Cynder, Jolt, Ember, Flame along with Crow, Ryuu, Rose, Storm, Shade, Toxin, Eclipse, and Tempest.
"What are you doing here?" Draco asked Crow, Ryuu, Rose, and the Elders.
"We came to see you off" Shade replied.
"When will you be back?" Rose asked.
"I don't know, but I promise I will keep them safe from harm" Draco replied and started to walk out of the city and everyone followed.
"Can you take care of Krystal for me Rose" Cynder asked and Krystal flew onto Roses horn.
"Sure" Rose replied. And the group started to walk out of the city.
"Bye" Crystal, Star, Spyro, Cynder, Jolt, Ember, and Flame said.
"Bye" Rose, Ryuu, Storm, Crow and the Elders replied.
"If were ever in the area we'll come and visit" Draco yelled.
When the group reached outside the cave Draco turned around and placed his hand on the side of the cave entrance.
"Illud per bonus may obduco illud per malum may non" Draco said in Latin.
The cave entrance gave off a black tinted aura around it.
"What did you do" Star asked.
"He put a spell on the entrance to Alliria" Ember replied "What did you use on it?" Ember asked Draco.
"It's a spell that only allows people with good intentions and have seen Alliria to enter and the ones with evil intentions to only see a cliff face even if there seen Alliria they won't see the cave entrance" Draco replied.
After that was said the group started to travel to Warfang, everyone started fly towards Warfang while Draco was running in his animal form beneath them.
The eight of them has been traveling all day and the sun was starting to set so the group started to set up camp in a clearing, Jolt was gathering fire wood, Spyro and Cynder were looking for something to eat and Draco was helping Ember with some magic spells and Flame, Star and Crystal were watching.
"Now Ember you need to remember that magic can copy the elements but it isn't the element at all" Draco said.
"Okay, but what do you mean by that?" Ember asked confused at Draco's words.
"Okay think of it this way, an element you use as a dragon if powerful but when using magic the power behind the element is less of that behind the element of the dragon" Draco replied.
"Okay I get it now" Ember said.
"Good" Draco replied and tossed an apple towards Ember, which she caught.
"I want you to close your eyes and concentrate on turning the apple into a pair" Draco instructed.
Ember was about to protest but Draco interrupted her before she could udder a word "Just do it" Draco said.
Ember just did what Draco instructed and closed her eyes and imagined a pair and when she opened her eyes the apple in her hand was a pair.
"Good, now try making a statue in front of you" Draco said.
Ember just tried it and soon a three foot statue of a dragon stood in front of her, "Now make it smaller" Ember heard Draco say.
With a great deal of effort Ember was able to make the statue smaller about two inches big. Draco walked up to it an picked it up and noticed it was a statue of Spyro, "this could be bad, I know Spyro and Cynder are a couple but I don't think anyone else know about it and I think Spyro and Cynder want to keep it that way but if I think about it I saw that Ember loves Spyro a lot and Ember hates Cynder when I last looked into her heart…yep this could get really bad" Draco thought and handed the two inch statue to Ember.
"Good Ember, you learned how to use changing magic. Now I want you to learn the rest on your own" Draco said and walked over to Flame, Star and Crystal with Ember close behind him.
And right when they reach the three Spyro and Cynder come back with the food "Foods here" Spyro called carrying a buck and Cynder carrying on too.
Everyone went over and ate there meals with little conversations mostly about Draco and his powers.
"Speaking of which, Draco what exactly is that form you used when you were traveling all day?" Crystal asked.
"That, that is my animal form or if you want to call it my panther form, it's what my species looked like millions of years ago, of course I'm the only panther to be able to do it and no one knows about it in Dimensia" Draco replied "In a way I think of it as making up for me not being a dragon" Draco added and took of his cloak and placed it on the ground and transformed into his animal form and laid down on the cloak and everyone noticed he looked more like a dragon with his wings out and on his side, not counting the fur and shorter neck and all.
"Come on its time we rested up for the arrival at Warfang tomorrow" Draco said and yawned placing his head onto his crossed paws.
"He's right, time to rest up" Spyro said and both he and Cynder laid down next to the fire, Jolt climbed up into a tree and slept on a branch. Ember lied down near the fire also and Flame lied down next to Ember but not as close as Spyro and Cynder were. Star and Crystal were looking for a place to sleep but they were actually looking to see I anyone was awake, which they weren't. Both Star and Crystal walked over to Draco and lied down on either side of him and fell asleep fast from his warm fur, unknown to the two that Draco was awake and placed his wings over them which they just snuggled closer to him. Draco smiled at this and soon drifted off to sleep.
The morning came and everyone was started to wake up from the sun entering the clearing, everyone except Draco, Star and Crystal.
Everyone was staring at how they were sleeping, both Star and Crystal were on either side of Draco with his wings on top of them and Star with her head on his back and Crystals head on top of Dracos.
"That is…cute" Ember said looking at the three.
"I wonder how they would explain how this happened" Jolt asked smiling.
"I'd say they did this when I was sleeping last night" a voice replied startling the five of them.
Everyone looked at the two sleeping dragons and half dragon to see that Draco had one of his eyes open and staring at them.
"H-How long have you been up?" Spyro asked.
"I've been up since the sun started to come up" Draco replied opening his other eye.
"Why didn't you just move out from under them?" Flame asked.
"Because I can't" Draco replied.
"What the big bad panther doesn't want to disturb their sleep" Ember said sarcastically.
"You could say that, but I'm just to confortable to move" Draco said smiling.
Everyone started to laugh at Draco's comment including Draco and Star and Crystal started to stir from all the laughing and soon woke up.
What's everyone laugh…*yawn*…ing about" Star asked.
"Oh nothing really…just that you and Crystal are laying on me again" Draco said and both Star and Crystal glanced down to see Draco their smiling. Both of them were blushing so bad it actually showed through the black scales but it was a deep shade of violet color, and looked away from everyone, but didn't get up cause of Draco's wings.
Draco stood up and stretched and the sound of popping joints could be heard in the clearing and transformed back.
"I'll go and grab up some breakfast" Draco said and walked into the forest.
"Alright spill" Cynder said as soon as Draco disappeared from sight.
"What do you mean?" Star asked.
''I mean how did you two end up sleeping on either side of Draco?" Cynder replied staring at the both of them.
"Uh…well…it was cold last night and there was no room near the fire and Draco's fur is really warm, so we slept next to his" Crystal said lying about the first part.
After twenty minutes of talking, Draco returns with two bucks over his shoulder and soon everyone started eating in silent.
Half way through their meal Jolt broke the silence "Hey Draco I've been meaning to ask, what are you going to do about your wings when we get to Warfang?" Jolt asked.
"Hide them" Draco replied and started thinking for a moment before adding "I should have enough energy to keep them hidden."
"How" Flame asked.
"Like this" Draco replied and stretched out his wings and concentrated, soon a small black flame appeared at the tips of his wings and stretched to the joints on his back. To everyone it looked like his wings were being burned away. After his wings disappeared Draco picked up his cloak and threw it on.
"What did you just do?" Ember asked.
"I just used the Shadow element to turn my wings invisible" Draco replied.
"Now how about we get going" Draco said and turned back into his animal form and started to walk off. Draco turned around before entering the forest "Are you coming?" Draco asked.
Soon everyone was up in the air and Draco was running underneath them. They traveled the whole day with the occasional break once in a while but the group was able to see Warfang in the distance when the sun was starting to set.
The group was able to make it to Warfang when to sun disappeared over to horizon. The eight of them were walking to the front gates, Draco wearing his bandanas and hood again and walked into Warfang.
"Warfang looks a lot like Alliria" crystal said looking around.
"That's because all the great cities were built to look the same for all the races" Draco replied making everyone confused.
"What?" Spyro and Cynder asked.
"Okay there is a city for each race. Warfang for the Dragons, Alliria is the lost city but it used to be a hub for all the races till it was lost, Gavrell or Dimensia as it is now called for my race the Panthers, Aerie for the Cheetahs, Liwet for the Moles, and Sariel for the Manweersmalls" Draco replied.
"Really" Star asked "There is a city for each species?"
"What about Avalar? The cheetahs that live their only know about other villages" Spyro said.
"That because some of the races moved out of the city to start small villages and over time they completely forget about the city but some of the old might know about the city but just never talk about it." Draco replied.
"But you won't see any of my race, their gone from this world, I'm the only one left." Draco said.
"Really, but Star and Crystal told us that there are a lot of panthers when they saw your memories" Ember asked.
"That's because all the panthers and the city got Jumped to another dimension" Draco replied.
Everyone including Star and Crystal stopped and stared at Draco. Draco turned around and saw their faces. "I forgot to tell you that didn't I?" Draco said.
They all nodded their heads.
"Well you know now" Draco said "Well are you coming or not because I don't know where we're going" Draco added.
Spyro shook his head to get rid of his surprised look "We're going to see the Guardians" Spyro said and took the lead and walked towards the temple in the middle of the city.
The group walked towards the temple and Draco started to see dragons, moles and some cheetahs looking at the group but Draco could tell they were looking at Star, Crystal and himself.
"Anyone notices that a lot of the people around are starting to stare" Draco pointed out to the group.
"Now that you mention it there are people staring" Spyro said.
When the group got to the plaza that was in front of the temple a group of dragons and some cheetahs walked up to Spyro, Cynder, Ember, Flame, Jolt, Star, Crystal and Draco.
"What are black dragons doing in this city?" a red and orange dragon hissed causing everyone around to see what the commotion was about.
"There friends, so leave them alone Inferno" Flame said bearing his teeth.
"I don't think so, one black dragon is enough and now you drought two more into this city, there nothing but trouble, there the Dark Masters pawns and nothing else" Inferno said hissing and bearing his teeth.
What no one noticed was that two of the cheetahs snuck behind the group with wooden swords and was about to attack Star and Crystal, but Draco noticed this when they first moved.
"Well if you won't do anything about them then I will" Inferno said and smiled when he and his friends saw two of his cheetah friends about to attack Star and Crystal and no one else did.
The two cheetahs were about to strike but in a split second Draco was in front of them, his back towards them and his Nature and a blue and white katana with a blue handle and white diamonds going down the handle with a small chain and at the end of the chain was a small icicle, that was his Ice sword and held both of the swords in his hands backwards and the pointed at the cheetah's throats.
"I wouldn't if I were you" Draco said in a dark tone.
Everyone looked back to see Draco with his swords pointed at two cheetah's throats with wooden swords ready to strike Star and Crystal.
Inferno saw this and became enraged when he saw that Draco stopped his friends and charged Draco but Draco side stepped Inferno causing his to plow into the two cheetahs.
"Come on let's get out of here" Draco said and started walking off putting his Nature sword back in its sheath and putting his Ice sword back in the other dimension making sure no one saw it disappear.
The group started to walk away and towards the temple. Unknown to the group except Draco that Inferno was even madder and charged at Draco with a comet dash. When Inferno got within feet of Draco, Inferno was smirking thinking that he got Draco but to his surprise Draco turned around and grabbed his horns and stopped his attack.
Draco slid back from the force of the attack. Draco heard everyone around gasp at what he just did.
"H-How is this possible, you're nothing but a cheetah" Inferno said scared from what Draco did.
"I have something to tell you, I. NOT. A. CHEETAH" Draco said and then threw Inferno clear over the crowd and into the street.
Draco then turned around and started walking to the temple, when they reached the temple Spyro, Cynder, Flame, Ember, and Jolt led them to the Guardians chamber and entered to see that the Guardians were discussing about something.
The Guardians turned around to see Spyro, Cynder, Ember, Flame, Jolt and three others enter the chamber.
"Ah Spyro, Cynder, Flame, Ember, Jolt. I was wondering when you would return" Terrador said.
"Yes, Yes, we were worried that you five were captured, from how long you were gone" Volteer said in his speedy tongue of his.
"And who might these three be" Cyril asked looking at Star, Crystal and Draco.
"These are Star, Crystal and Draco. They helped us when we were in trouble, well actually Draco did but we became friends with him and many others in Alliria" Spyro replied.
"Alliria" Cyril asked.
"The Lost city, but now it's used for all the black dragons that are outcasts to the other dragons" Star replied.
"And before you even ask about 'black dragons being Malefor's pawns,' there not and there are all good dragons to get along with" Draco said.
"Well it's good to meet you" Ignitus said changing the subject.
"Might I ask you what exactly are you Draco" Volteer asked.
Draco looked at Spyro and the rest of them and Spyro said "It's alright you can tell them, they will keep this a secret"
Draco nodded and took off his hood and bandannas "I'm a panther" Draco said.
The Guardians were looking at Draco with a surprised look on their faces
"W-We thought you were all extinct, eradicated, gone, dead…" Volteer said speedily.
"Volteer, we know that the entire panther race has been wiped out, and Draco is probably the last…" Ignatius said before Draco interrupted him.
"You know my race?" Draco asked.
"Yes we once knew your race, we even had friend, one in particular named Dimensia. She was our best friend till Malefor attacked their city Gavrell" Terrador replied.
"Then I'm sorry to tell you that she died Jumping the city, and all my people, we call her the Savior now, heck we ever renamed the city after her" Draco said.
"Wait, are you saying that all of you species are still alive?" Cyril asked.
"Yes, when Malefor attacked She Jumped the city to another dimension, but it killed her doing so" Draco replied.
"Then how did you get here, did your family stay behind?" Ignitus asked.
"No, I have Dimensia's power to teleport from one spot to another and ever another dimension, but no one knew about my power in Dimensia and no one else has this power, and I got exiled from Dimensia when I was five, so I came here and hid in the mountain range west of here" Draco replied "And before you ask why I got exiled, they did it cause I was different from everyone else" Draco added.
"Then why didn't they come back to the Dragon Realm" Volteer asked.
"Because everyone hates dragon now, all because Malefor attacked everyone started thinking that all dragons were the same, the ones that still liked dragons moved out of the city and started their own villages, and my family was stuck in the city with a dictator for a leader saying no one was allowed to leave" Draco replied, "…Can we stop asking about the city, I don't like talking about it much" Draco added looking down with a sad look on his face.
"Um…what were you all talking about before we interrupted?" Spyro asked changing the subject.
"We were talking about the annual fighting tournament" Ignitus replied.
"Really, so what's the prize this year, it better not be the position for Guardian like last year when everyone turned it down" Jolt asked.
"Hahahah, No Jolt, this year we uncovered a broken medallion that seems to have some kind of power in it" Volteer replied.
Draco took notice in this "If that is the missing piece of the medallion I have then that means my dad was here" Draco thought, "Can I see the medallion" Draco asked.
"Sorry Draco but only the winner of the tournament can have it" Ignitus replied.
"Then I'll enter the tournament and win" Draco said with a smile on his face
"Oh, no you don't. You're not entering without us" Flame said.
"Well I guess we'll have a really good tournament this year, I always wanted to see how your race fights" Volteer said to Draco.
"Then you're in for a surprise then because I don't fight like my race" Draco said.
"When's the tournament" Spyro asked.
"It starts tomorrow" Terrador replied.
"Then I guess we should go and sign up" Cynder said.
The group was about to leave when Draco remembered something. "Ignitus, can me, Star and Crystal have a room here in the temple" Draco asked.
"Yes, but we only have one room left so you're going to have to figure out who gets the room and who shares a room." Ignitus replied.
And with that the group left and signed up for the tournament and was back at the temple to get some sleep for tomorrow.
"So…who gets the room?" Star asked as the group walked into the temple.
"Well you can bunk with me Star" Ember said.
"Okay that leaves who gets the room me or Draco" Crystal said.
"Well I'm already bunking with someone" Flame said.
"Same here" Jolt said.
"And me and Cynder already share a room" Spyro said.
"Then that means that you two will have to share a room" Star said and smirked a little but no one saw it.
Draco and Crystal looked at each other and shrugged and everyone headed to their respected rooms, when Draco and Crystal walked into their room Crystal laid down on the bed and Draco took off all his armor and cloak and placed them down on the desk along with his Nature sword and transformed into his animal form and laid down next to the bed.
"You know you can lay on the bed with me" Crystal said, blushing a little at what she said.
"You sure" Draco asked.
"Yes I'm sure, and I don't mind" Crystal replied.
So Draco got up and laid next to Crystal and they both fell asleep next to each other.
The morning came and Draco got up first and noticed that Crystal was on laying her head on his, but this time Draco was able to lift her head and placed it down on the pillows. Draco transformed back and got dressed in his armor and cloak and switched his Nature Sword for his Fire, Shadow, Wind, and Time swords, slinging them on his waist and walked out of the room. He was thankful that Spyro and the others showed them around the temple or he wouldn't be able to find the Cafeteria.
When Draco walked in the room he spotted Spyro, Cynder, Flame and Star at a table. Draco walked over to them and sat down at the table.
"Morning you guys, so where is everyone else" Draco asked.
"Oh you know still sleeping, what about Crystal" Spyro replied.
"Same thing" Draco replied.
A mole walked over to the group and had plates filled with food and handed them to everyone and the group started eating, half way through their meals Ember, Jolt, and Crystal showed up and got their breakfast and joined them.
"So when does the tournament start?" Crystal asked.
"An hour from now" Spyro replied.
"Then we better hurry up and eat and get ready" Star said.
When the group finished they went back to their rooms to get ready except for Star, Crystal and Draco.
"You two are going to need armor if you're fighting" Draco said.
"Yeah we do, but we don't know where to get the armor?" Star said.
"Then follow me" Draco said and led them back to his and Crystal room.
When the three walked in Draco closed the door and turned too looked at Star and Crystal.
"Okay let's see here" Draco said to himself thinking of some armor to create with his Creation element.
"Ah. Okay you two hold still" Draco said.
Star and Crystal were confused but did what Draco told them to and the next thing there was a flash of light and they had to close their eyes but when they opened them they saw that they were wearing armor. Star was wearing black armor with yellow lightning bolts on the ridges of the armor and looked like it had the night sky on the armor. Crystal had black armor with dark pink crystals for the ridges and had some embedded in the armor too but they looked like the ones embedded in the armor were ice.
"Wow Draco this is the coolest armor I've seen, how did you do this" Star asked.
"I made it with the Creation element" Draco replied.
"Ready to go" Draco asked.
"Yes" Star and Crystal said at the same time.
The three left the room and headed to the front door of the temple and saw that Spyro, Cynder, Ember, Flame, and Jolt were waiting there with armor of their own on.
"Wow good looking armor you two have" Jolt said.
"You can thank Draco for the armor" Star said.
"Nice armor Draco, where did you get it?" Cynder asked.
"Made them myself, their made of Trinium a medal so strong and light weight that it won't bend, break of get a scratch, no matter what" Draco replied, "Oh and it has a little something extra that strengthens you elements.
"Wow" was all that Spyro, Cynder, Ember, Flame, and Jolt, even Star and Crystal could say.
"Shall we get going?" Draco said.
And the group started to wake to the stadium for the tournament. When they reached it a mole asked them if they were participating in it, they said they were and the mole led them to a room for all the contestants were.
When the group walked into the room, they could see that there were ten more dragons waiting for the tournament to begin one of the dragons was a blue dragon with a white underbelly and light purple horns and wing membrane, he had an ax for a tail blade, another one of the dragons was a green dragon with a brown underbelly, horns and wing membrane, he had a mace for a tail blade. In the corner of the room was a light blue dragoness with a white underbelly, horns, and wing membrane, she had a snowflake for a tail blade, next to her was a yellow dragoness with an under belly of dark yellow and lightning shaped horns and tail blade, next to the yellow dragoness was a red dragon with a yellow underbelly and orange horns and wing membrane, he didn't have a tail blade but a lit flame at the end of his tail and it was going up his back to the back of his head where his spine should be. Laying down on a bench was a gray dragoness with white markings all over her body and a sword for a tail blade, next to her was a brown dragon with green horns and underbelly, he had a gray wing membrane and a triangular tail blade with spikes, next to him was a yellow dragoness with a gray underbelly and wing membrane, she had silver horn like Cynder and she had no tail blade what so ever. Sleeping in the another corner of the room was a white dragon with a light blue streaks all over his body along with light blue underbelly and wing membrane, he had a fin at the end of his tail.
"Well, well, well, what do, we have here?" and all to filmier voice said.
The eight of them look and see Inferno walking up to them.
"What do you want Inferno" Flame asked hissing at him.
"Just here to tell you that none of you are going to last in the first match especially the two black dragons and the freak in the cloak" Inferno replied in a nasty voice.
Flame was going to say something till Draco stopped him "Let's see about that in the fights" Draco said.
"We'll see about that" Inferno said and walked off.
"Why did you do that" Flame asked.
"Because I'm going to fix the fight and make sure I go up agents him" Draco replied smiling evilly.
Before Flames could say something two moles walked into the room carrying a box and a chalk board.
"Alright line up so we can see who goes up agents who" the first mole said.
Everyone lined up and reached into the box and pulled out a piece of paper with a number in it and showed it to the mole and the mole would write their name on the respected spot on the board.
Draco waited for Inferno to go up and when he reached in the box Draco waved his hand and a piece of paper flew into Infernos hand. After Inferno was done Draco went up next and reached in and waved his hand inside the box and ended up with the slot next to Inferno, who was his opponent.
"Well I guess I'll get to have some fun with for after all" Inferno smirked.
Draco didn't say anything but he did smirk under his bandannas know how much Inferno is going to eat those words. Draco waited for the rest of the contestants to pick a number, and when they were finished, "Alright here is the matching for the tournament" the first mole said.
"First match is Inferno vs. Draco; Second match is Frost vs. Ember; Third match is Quake vs. Snow; Forth is Shockwave vs. Jolt; Fifth Trinity vs. Bolder; Sixth Flame vs. Crystal; Seventh Flash vs. Star; Eighth Cynder vs. Heatwave; and ninth will have to skip a couple matches but its Spyro vs. Blizzard" the second mole said.
"Okay now will Inferno and Draco follow me to the field" the first mole said and the second mole left to give the matching to the Guardians.
Both Inferno and Draco followed the mole to the gates leading into the field.
(The First Match)
"Welcome to the annual fighting tournament" Ignitus announced getting the crowed to cheer for the event.
"This year looks like a good year, and whoever wins the tournament will receive this medallion with untold powers" Terrador announced out.
"Now the first match will be up against Inferno and a new comer to the city, Draco" Cyril announced out and the crowd again cheered out seeing the two walk into the field and into the middle of the field.
"Let the match begin" Volteer called out and for once in his life time he actually talked normally.
Both Inferno and Draco took up fighting stances, Inferno like all dragons do and Draco with him holding a pure gray broad sword with white markings that looked like the wind, all over the blade.
""I'm going to enjoy beating the crap out of you" Inferno said and charged at Draco launching four fire bombs at Draco, but Draco was able to dodge them, but while Draco was occupied with dodging the fire bombs, he failed to notice another fire bomb heading right at him. Draco thinking fast twisted his body and was able to swing his sword down on the fire bomb right when it was mere feet away from hitting, slicing the fire bomb in two and pacing by Draco on both sides of him, hitting the wall and exploding.
The crowd gasped at what Draco did and was wondering how he did it. But Inferno was done attacking and breathed out a stream of flames at Draco, again Draco dodge but wasn't fast enough as the bottom of his cloak caught on fire.
"Now let's see what you're hiding under that cloak" Inferno smirked.
"To think a stupid hot headed dragon would get me to reveal myself" Draco sighed which caused Inferno to get mad at the comment about him.
But before Inferno could say one word Draco threw off his cloak and bandannas.
Almost everyone in the stadium gasped and was surprised at what they saw. Draco could hear the people say things like "Is that a p-panther", "I thought they were all extinct", "This tournament just got a whole lot more interesting."
"What are you?" Inferno asked.
"Me, I'm a panther warrior" Draco replied.
"T-Then that means that you are the second race that has magical powers other than the dragons" Inferno said with a hint of fear in his voice.
"Yep, and you want to know my specialty" Draco asked.
Draco could see that Inferno was thinking he was screwed. Draco quickly swung his sword releasing a wave of high pressure air at Inferno. Inferno was able to dodge the attack, the wave continued to the wall leaving a scar on the wall and another scar leading to Draco.
"My specialty is elemental swords" Draco said smiling evilly.
Draco then charged Inferno, when Draco got close enough he swung his sword down, but Inferno swallowed his fear and blocked the attack with his tail blade, and fired a fire bomb at Draco know what would happen at this range, when the attack hit Draco the fire bomb exploded sending Draco and Inferno in opposite directions.
Inferno walked out of the smoke panting heavily and looking at the rising smoke on the other side of the field. The next thing that happened was that Draco walked out of the smoke and didn't have a scratch on him.
"Got to say you surprised me there a little" Draco said and sheathed his Wind sword "But I'm better"
Draco unsheathed his Fire and Shadow swords and fused them together. Draco was smiling seeing Infernos expression, "Hey Inferno" Draco called out.
"What?" Inferno replied.
"I… Win" Draco said and swung his sword calling out "Black Flaming Dragon!" and an large black flame launched out of the sword and soon started to shape into a serpentine dragon and head right for Inferno. Inferno was so scared that he didn't dodge the attack and the attack exploded an impact with Inferno.
When the smoke cleared Inferno was in a creator unconscious.
Everyone in the stadium was quiet but then broke out into loud cheering, "The winner of the first match. Draco!" Terrador yelled.
Draco walked off the field and back to the waiting room while some moles came and brought Inferno to the healer. When Draco walked into the room the dragons that Draco didn't know just stood there in shock and Spyro, Cynder, Ember, Jolt, Star and Crystal walked up to him.
"That was a great fight Draco" Star said.
"Thanks" Draco replied.
"Sorry that everyone knows that you a panther" Crystal apologized.
"You don't have to apologize Crystal, sooner or later in the tournament I would've had to reveal myself" Draco said and put his hand on Crystal shoulder.
A mole soon walked in "Will Ember and Frost come up, your match is up next" the mole said and led Ember and Frost to the field.
(The Second Match)
"Now the second match is Frost vs. Ember" Ignitus announced out and the crowd cheered again as the two walked to the middle of the field.
"Let's make this a good fight" Frost said and took a fighting stance.
"Let's" Ember replied.
Ember made the first move and called out "Glacies Incendia" and fired a large blue fire bomb at Frost, Frost dodged out of the way and the blue fire bomb exploded when it hit the wall but when Frost looked back there wasn't a scorch mark on the wall but ice surrounding where the fire bomb hit.
Frost not taking another chance of letting Ember fire another one of those attacks charger Ember and fired a couple Ice bullets at Ember which she dodged and fired a stream of ice fire at Frost and hitting him in the leg and freezing him to the ground.
"Redimio thy inimicus" Ember said and chains shot out of the ground and started to wrap around Frost till he wasn't able to move.
"How are you doing this?" Frost asked.
"Oh, I've learned some magic from Draco when I first met him" Ember replied.
"Now what" Frost asked.
"This, levitas" Ember said and an arc of lightning hit Frost and knocked him out cold.
"The winner of the second match, Ember" Ignitus yelled and the crown cheered.
When Ember walked into the room Ember saw that some of the other dragons were talking to Draco, but the rest stayed away.
"…really you've been living in the mountains for ten years and haven't seen anyone…ever" Shockwave the yellow dragoness asked.
"Yeah…well till I rescued Star and Crystal from a group of apes" Draco replied.
"Making new friends" Ember said and walked over to them.
"Yeah, nice match by the way seems like you're getting the hang of the element" Draco said.
The same mole walked in like last time "Will Quake and Snow follow me" the mole said and left with the two dragons.
"Hey Draco how come you didn't get wounded when Infernos attack hit you" Trinity the gray dragon asked.
"That because of the armor I'm wearing" Draco replied.
"What's so special about the armor?" Bolder the brown, green, and gray dragon asked.
"It's made of dragon a scale's, that's why" Draco replied.
"Who gave it to you?" Heatwave the red, yellow and orange dragon asked.
"My dad" Draco replied.
"Where did your dad get dragon scales if you were in another dimension" Shockwave pointed out.
Draco cringed a little, and everyone noticed it, "What, can't you tell us" Heatwave asked.
"Should I tell them and trust them to keep this a secret or…" Draco thought and just looked into their hearts and found out they were trust worthy.
"Can I trust you all to keep a secret?" Draco asked.
"Yes" was all they said.
Draco nodded his head and took in a deep breath "My farther is not really a panther" Draco said "My dad is really a dragon" Draco added scratching the back of his head.
"What!" the four dragons said causing Flash the yellow and gray dragon and Blizzard the white and light blue dragon to stop watching the fight and look to Draco and everyone else.
"T-Then the reason you got exiled was because…" Trinity said but could finish her sentence.
"I'm half dragon" Draco finished her sentence.
"H-How…no wait…then…how" Bolder stammered.
"I don't know how…I guess my parents just loved each other" Draco said and right then and there Snow the light blue and white dragoness walked into the room.
"Looks like you won Snow" Blizzard said and walked up to her.
"Yeah, it was pretty easy…so what were you talking about before I interrupted" Snow asked Bolder.
"Oh nothing much, just guessing who would win the next match" Bolder replied and saw in the corner of his eye Draco nod his head in 'thanks for keeping it a secret'.
A mole walked into the room "Jolt. Shockwave your match is next" the mole said and Jolt and Shock wave followed him to the field.
(The Forth Match)
As jolt and Shockwave walked into the middle of the field the crowd was going crazy just waiting for the next match to start.
"The forth match, Jolt and Shockwave!" Cyril announced
"Let's see how good a fighter you are" Shockwave said.
All that Jolt did was smile.
"Let the match begin" Terrador yelled.
Right off Shock wave charged Jolt, Jolt saw this coming and fired a lightning bolt at Shockwave. Shock wave was able to dodge but not completely.
Jolt fired another lightning bolt at Shockwave and Shockwave countered it with one of her own, Soon Jolt charged Shockwave, Jolt jumped up in the air and was going to tackle her but Shockwave started to spin on her tail and created an electrical tornado. Jolt was surprised by this and was hit by the attack making Jolt fly towards the wall, but Shockwave wasn't done yet and stopped the attack and fired an electrical bomb at Jolt while he was still flying at the wall. Jolt hit the wall and soon the electrical bomb hit him and exploded, covering the field in a dust cloud where Jolt was.
"I guess you weren't much of a fighter after all" Shockwave said and was going to walk away till,
"You sure about that" Jolt said.
Shockwave turned around and looked at the dust cloud and saw it was spinning around something and soon disappeared, revealing Jolt in his Weather form.
"What the he…" Shockwave said but didn't finish when Jolt disappeared.
"Where he go?" Shockwave said to herself.
"Right here" Jolt said.
Shockwave looked up into the sky and saw Jolt was flying above the stadium. Shockwave was him smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" Shockwave asked.
"This" Jolt replied and a dark cloud started to form above Jolt, soon it started raining but it only rained on the field. Everyone was wondering what was going on till a lightning strike hit but it was heading for Shockwave. Shockwave dodge the hit, but another one struck her after dodging, and was flung at the wall.
"Like it...I can control the weather" Jolt said landing next to Shockwave.
"How can you control the weather?" Shockwave asked, struggling to get up.
"Draco taught me" Jolt replied and another lightning bolt struck Shockwave and knocked her out, Jolt made the lightning cloud disappear and turned back to normal and started to walk to the exit.
"…The winner. Jolt" Ignitus yelled, and the crowd cheered.
Jolt walked back into the waiting room and saw the looks of Snow, Trinity, Bolder, Flash, Heatwave, and Blizzard.
"Well done Jolt" Draco said "I taught you well"
"Wait you taught him that" Trinity asked.
"Yes. I taught everyone…something" Draco replied gesturing to Star, Crystal, Jolt, Ember, Flame, Spyro and Cynder.
Bolder was about to ask something but a mole walked into the room "Can Trinity and Bolder follow me, you match is next" the mole said and Trinity and Bolder followed.
No one talked after the two left, they just waited for the next match. It didn't take long, just ten minutes when they left Bolder walked back into the room along with the mole.
"Can Flam and Crystal follow me please" the mole said.
Both Flame and Crystal followed the mole to the field and walked to the middle of the field.
(The Sixth Match)
"The next match of tournament will be Flame and another new comer to the city, Crystal" Volteer announced.
"So let the match begin" Ignitus yelled.
Flame charged Crystal and released a shadow breath that was blocked by a crystal wall that shot up out of the ground. Flame was still charging at Crystal and then he pounced, going right through the crystal and tackled Crystal.
Flame was on top of Crystal but Crystal threw Flame off and Crystal slammed her paw on the ground and crystals started to grow on her armor, after the crystals stopped grow Crystal armor looked like it got some blades attached to it.
"That doesn't look good" Flame said to himself.
Crystal smiled and disappeared from site. Flame was looking around till out of his shadow Crystal tackled him and started a melee attack on Flame and then trapped his legs and arms in crystal.
Flame was struggling to free himself.
"Don't bother. That crystal is indestructible" Crystal said smiling at Flames attempts to get free.
Flame thought of something and closed his eyes and concentrated.
Flame was concentrating on his fire fury. Crystal saw what he was doing and backed away, when Flame released his fury it wasn't his normal fury this fury was black. Flame released a black fire fury and broke free from his crystal prison, when Flame was free he fired a black fire bomb at Crystal who dodged it, and Crystal fired a crystal shard at Flame who raised a black flame barrier and the shard shattered on impact with the barrier.
Crystal then slammed her paw on the ground and small crystals started shooting up from the ground around Flame and Flame was wondering what Crystal was doing.
The crystals around Flame started to pulse with electricity and then they shot a bolt of electricity at Flame shocking him to the point where he lost conciseness. The crystal blades on Crystal's armor shattered and Crystal walked to the exit.
"The winner is Crystal" Ignitus yelled and the crowd cheered.
When Crystal walked back into the room she saw Draco looking at her "Nice job, I didn't even have to tell you that the crystals could use electricity for attacking" Draco said.
"Will the next two contestants follow me" another mole came in holding a clipboard "…um…Star and Flash"
So Star and Flash followed the mole to the field and walked to the middle.
(The Seventh Match)
"This is going to be easy" Flash said smiling.
"Oh you think so" Star replied sarcastically.
"Oh I know so, you're weak and cause you're a girl" Flash said smiling.
Star got really mad hearing that, but before she could say anything the Guardians announced the fight.
"The next match will be Flash and another new comer to the city, Star" Cyril announced.
"Let the match begin" Ignitus yelled and the crowd was about to cheer till Star slammed her paw on the ground and a cosmic beam erupted from the ground beneath Flash. When it was over Flash was standing up, his entire body scorched and soon fell over unconscious.
"…Uh and the winner is Star" Ignitus said.
Star walked to the exit and after she left the field she could hear the crowd cheering.
She walked back to the room and walked in to see a mole waiting.
"Okay then now since Star is back, will Cynder and Heatwave follow me" the mole said.
Cynder and Heatwave followed the mole to the field and heard the Guardians announce the next match.
(The Eighth Match)
Cynder and Heatwave walked onto the field and to the middle of it.
"Let the match begin" Ignitus yelled and earning a cheer from the crowd.
Cynder wanted to finish this match quickly and released her fear breath on Heatwave, but Heatwave was able to dodge the attack and counter with a comet dash at Cynder who activated her time element and moved out of the way and behind Heatwave. To Heatwave it looked like Cynder disappeared.
When Heatwave stopped and landed, he was franticly looking for Cynder till.
"Looking for me" Cynder said behind Heatwave before unleashing a tornado at Heatwave which threw Heatwave towards the wall. But when Heatwave hit the wall he burst into flames and disappeared. Cynder was shocked by the and out of nowhere Heatwave tackled Cynder to the ground but Cynder phased through the ground and did an upper cut slash on Heatwave causing him to be thrown back a few feet.
"This is going to be a tough match" Heatwave said.
"But I'm going to win" Cynder replied.
"Oh and pray tell how are you going to do that?" Heatwave asked.
"Like this" Cynder replied.
And Cynder disappeared using her Time element. Cynder soon appeared right next to Heatwave and started attacking him with slashes and melee attacks till he soon fell to the ground exhausted from the attacks and breathing heavily.
"…you win…good fight" Heatwave said before passing out.
"The winner is Cynder" Ignitus yelled and the crowd went wild.
Cynder walked back to the room passing Spyro and Blizzard walking to their match led by a mole.
"Good luck Spyro" Cynder said as she passed him.
"Thanks" Spyro replied.
(The Ninth Match)
"Here it is people, the ninth and final match for today, Spyro and Blizzard" Terrador announced as he say Blizzard and Spyro walk to the middle of the field.
"Let the match begin" Ignitus yelled.
Spyro and Blizzard take up fighting stances and circle each other. Waiting for the other to attack, they kept this up for a while till Blizzard shot and ice shard at Spyro who dodge and shot an electrical bomb at Blizzard and charged him while Blizzard dodged the attack, he was unaware that Spyro was charging him and ended up getting tackled by Spyro and Spyro started slashing Blizzard.
Blizzard getting hit managed to throw Spyro off and attack Spyro with ice claws, Spyro dodging most of the attacks, till Spyro launched a fire bomb at Blizzard who got hit and was thrown back by the explosion. Both dragons were painting and trying to catch their breath.
"Got to say you're not that bad of a fighter" Spyro complimented Blizzard.
"Thanks" Blizzard replied.
"But I'm winning this fight" Spyro said and disappeared.
Blizzard was looking for Spyro till Blizzard saw the shadow underneath him grow. Blizzard looked up and saw a giant bolder with spikes come at him, Blizzard dodged the bolder, but when the bolder hit the ground Spyro shot out of the bolder and shot a bolt of electricity at Blizzard and hit him knocking him out.
"The winner is Spyro" Ignitus yelled and the crowd cheered.
Spyro was walking back to the room and saw that Cynder, Draco, Crystal, Star, Jolt, Ember, and Flame saying god by to Snow and Bolder and was waiting for him.
As Spyro walked up to the group "Let's go back to the temple and get something to eat" Spyro said.
"Sure I could go for something to eat" Draco said and the group started walking back to the temple, as the group was walking back to the temple the people that didn't go to the tournament were staring at Draco because he wasn't wearing his cloak anymore.
When the group reached the temple they saw the Guardians waiting for them.
"That was Extraordinary, exhilarating…" Volteer started but was cut off by Terrador.
"Volteer sip it we know it was exciting to see all their fights" Terrador said.
"How pray tell you did you use…those attacks Draco?" Cyril asked.
"What do you expect from a half dragon" Draco replied.
The Guardians stared at Draco, mouths open and eyes wide as saucers.
"What did you just say?" Ignitus asked.
"I said I'm half dragon, and before you ask any more questions, your find out after the tournament if finished, right now I'm hungry and tired" Draco said and left to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat.
Draco and everyone else got something to eat and headed to bed to rest up for the next fights. When Draco and Crystal were in their room Draco took off his armor and put his swords back into the other dimension.
"Uh…Draco could you help he take off my armor" Crystal asked blushing.
"Sure, since I made it and forgot to show you how to put it on I can do that" Draco replied.
After the armor was taking off both of them crawled into bed and fell asleep next to each other.
