Spyro was the first to wake up. He noticed he was stuck somewhere. He saw the large muscular green arms of his dad. He knew he was in the grasp of Nestor. He had to wait for him to wake up if he hoped to move.

Sparx flew in the air and waved at him. He wished him good morning and not to wake anyone up. He buzzed that they needed to rest because they were about to face The Sorceress.

"I know," the purple dragon whispered back. He looked around and saw his brother sleeping against Bruno peacefully. For the child, their first encounter was far behind him. It was all a misunderstanding and he already forgave Flame for it. He was glad they were good brothers now. After all, they were dragons and were good. He was certain the Guardian Dragons did a few things that caused a misunderstanding like his brother and him. It was the only reason.

Bubba stretched himself as he woke up, followed by the Peace Keepers who were quickly on their feet.

Trondo yawned as he noticed they were waking up, "Finally," he whispered.

The others followed suit with Astor being the last to woke up.

Hunter grumbled, "Do we have anything to eat?"

"Yes," Trondo put their meal on the ground, a few fruits and other plants he found around, "I went outside to collect them before morning. No one saw me, so there is no reason to worry about it."

They didn't complain at eat everything they could. They needed everything for the big battle. Once they were done, Astor waved at them.

"Follow me. I know the exit. We will get them by surprise, if they don't expect us," the mauve dragon walked forward and the other followed him.

Nestor gazed back at the statue as the spell came to an end. He wondered how his family ended up being rulers. He still couldn't believe it. He then followed the others and quickly caught up with Spyro as he tried to take the lead.


Chapter 59: Down With The Sorceress Part 1

The Sorceress grunted furiously. They got no eggs yet for the spell and Bianca didn't give any signs of life. It wasn't only that, her prisoner escaped, the others escaped because of the dragons too. She didn't know how to punish for them. She chose Bianca because everything seemed to go wrong because of her.

Her soldiers were talking to each other's, "Enough words with you! Get the eggs right now because they are all taken away by those accursed dragons!"

The Rhynocs panicked and quickly ran away to search for the eggs as if their lives depended on it.

The Sorceress sat on her throne. She never expected everything to do so wrong, "Those dragons. They aren't going to stop me!"

She waved her scepters. She wanted to take care of them herself, but she didn't know where the dragons were hiding, "Those two kids first. I'm sure that will break those adults quickly," she venomously smirked.


The dragons, the fairy and the cheetah followed the oldest dragon towards the end of the secret passages.

Astor put his hands on the wall and searched for something to open something. The two younglings did the same and after a few seconds, they managed to find a secret switch.

The wall suddenly began to slid and revealed it was a secret door. Titan went in first and looked around, "No one," he whispered.

The dragons walked outside of the secret passage.

Hunter recognised the place, "We are in the underground prison. I remember seeing that," he pointed at the door behind them. It closed and he saw the strange mark on it.

"The spell of the Sorceress didn't cover below the castle," Malefor commented with a grin on his face. He remembered when he smashed against the shield when he tried a surprise attack. He would never tell anyone about it.

The others nodded.

Zantor walked in front of them, "I'll be the one to handle the Sorceress. I can cast my spells quickly and block any curses before she can infect us. I'm also the best for this magic battle against her."

The dark purple dragon growled, "I am the one who shall take care of her. I-" he winced when he was wacked on the snout by his father.

"Son. Do not think of acting like an idiot. You might have a lot of magic and your bracelet, but it won't be enough," Astor warned him.

"But-" he was wacked again.

"Malefor. Zantor will take care of it. You can believe in us too. You aren't alone," Astor told him as he put his cane on the ground to help keep his balance.

Malefor sighed while he felt the paws of Spyro, "Fine."

"Don't worry dad. You are not alone. We will take all of them down together," Spyro tail waved a little with anticipation to save his siblings. He was the best big brother he could be for them.

The dark purple dragon gave in, "Okay. Don't worry. I will listen to my dad," he adjusted his loincloth, "I'll obey your command," he looked at Nestor.

The carpenter sighed, "I am NOT the king of dragons," he crossed his arms, "What is the best plan Titan?"

The orange dragon scratched his beard. He thought about it and Gunnar came by his side, "We know little of this castle and Astor couldn't remember every little detail," he turned to the green dragon, "What about you?"

Gunnar smirked, "We just need to get there and beat them. We cannot be discreet. We will quickly get caught," he crossed his arms, "We have little choice, but to act quickly."

"Thank you. We will fight the Rhynocs and the others who might try to stop us. We will let Zantor handle the Sorceress. We will protect him from any intervention," Titan concluded.

"Good. Any problem?" Nestor asked.

Bubba chuckled, "I'm ready to squish them and squash them," he punched his fist on his palm and smirked.

Bruno nodded as he grabbed his staff, "I'll prepare a few spells against them."

Malefor nodded, "If it goes south, I'll use my bracelet."

Everyone nodded and were ready to act.

Hunter grabbed an arrow and was ready to use it.

Sparx flew near his best friend and was ready to support him quickly.

Zoe didn't have enough magic to help them in battle, but she decided to watch their surrounding, so they wouldn't get hurt by the enemies.

They walked until they reached the exit of the dungeon.

Titan raised his hand and made them stop. He turned towards them and nodded. He waved at the other Peace Keepers to come closer to him. The leader of those dragons took a deep breath. His feet danced on the ground as he prepared for his attack. He pointed three claws. He went to two. Then one finger. He closed his hand.

The Peace Keepers went outside first and the others followed.

Titan saw a few Rhynocs near them and with one swing of his axe, disarmed them. He followed with one quick sweep from his tail and knocked them out.

The others came at more of the Rhynocs and they quickly beat them.

Malefor pushed one he knocked out on the side and sighed, "This is pretty much the easiest fight we'll have."

They heard the alarm in the castle.

Spyro chuckled, "I bet the evil Sorceress is pissed about it. We went inside the castle with that barrier outside."

"Don't get cocky Spyro," Nestor warned.

The dragons pushed forward.

The carpenter went on, "Things can go wrong when you get cocky."

"Okay," the child replied.

Flame smiled, "Everyone will soon be free. Mom will be free too," he gazed at Bruno, "And I'll meet my blood dad and everyone at Dragon Realm."

"That's right Flame. Focus on this and don't let the enemy bring you down," he heard some of them coming. He quickly casted his spell and once Rhynocs showed up, he turned the ground into mud and they felt on the ground.

They were quickly taken care off.

One suddenly jumped and went to Astor.

"Dad!" Malefor yelled.

The mauve dragon wacked him up with his cane and knocked the enemy out. He chuckled as he put it on the ground, "I don't just wack silly children. I can wack them out."

The dark purple dragon sighed in relief. He put his hands on his knees and just wanted to asked his dad to stay back. It was too late for that.

"Let's go!" Bubba told them.

Titan took the lead and the other dragons went forward. More came forward, but one spell from Zantor sent them away.

They continued and defeat any oppositions to them. The two young dragons fought together against a few Rhynocs with Sparx who distracted them by flying near the bad guys faces.

They progressed until they reached the throne room. The dragons went in there and they closed the door behind them. The Peace Keepers kept the door closed. They grumbled as the enemies tried to force the door to open.

"Well… Well… You disgusting dragons are here now. I'm glad I didn't have to search for you," the Sorceress said as she clapped her hands in a mocking manner. She looked at the dragons. She saw brawl among them and little brain. Most of them weren't even magic caster. She had no reason to fear them with her magic. She stopped when she noticed the old dragon. She cuffed and tapped her scepter on her hand, "Well… Well… Look how we have here? I thought you would have turned to dust already," she took a step forward. She chuckled, "Astor. You look more dead than alive."

The mauve dragon frowned, "And you got fatter you accursed Sorceress."

The dragons snickered.

Hunter was a little nervous and gulped as the Sorceress began to release some of her magic out of her, "Guys. Careful. She is getting really mad."

Astor adjusted himself and raised his back. It was a little hard to do this, but he wouldn't show weakness to her, "Sorceress. You thought you could steal everything from us again? Guess again. We are here to take you down."

"You?" she grinned.

Malefor took a step-in front of his father, "All of us. You took everything from me when I was a child, you are going to lose everything," he pointed his claw at her, "My blood parents died because of you! You destroyed our kingdom! You tried to destroy our spirit! You failed! Our spirit is stronger! It is stronger than your curse! We managed to come back to our kingdom!"

Nestor sighed as he took a step forward, "You will not take a single wing from our child!"

"Nestor," Titan grunted as he brought his attention and the green dragon returned to help them maintained the door closed.

The Sorceress recognised the face of Nestor and scuffed, "You think you can take back everything? This doesn't belong to you anymore!" she didn't want to play with them and casted the safe curse as before.

Zantor jumped in front of them and used his cards to block the curse, "Sorry, but it won't be the same as before. I will not let you pass a single spell on any of us. This time, we are ready to deal with you. Our ancestors' pain will be at peace," his cards spun as a ball of energy went to her, "I'll take care of her! Block the Rhynocs!" he flew towards her and blocked many of her spells and began his duel against the Sorceress.

The dragons grunted as they held the door down. They knew it wouldn't be forever as it got harder to maintain it.

Bruno jumped back and casted his spell. He turned the ground behind the door into the mud.

The others heard whoever was at the other side and slid on the ground. It gave them a moment of reprieve.

They saw the Magic Crafter and the Sorceress fought against each other's. The spells flew towards each other's, but none of them managed to hit the target.

Meanwhile, Hunter searched around and pulled a table and put it on the ground. He took another one and created a wall. Once he finished preparing everything, he took his bow and arrow. He aimed at the door, "Brought some cover!"

They watched this.

"Spyro! Sparx! Flame! Take some cover when I say go!" Titan ordered.

"Yes!" they replied.

"Zoe, take some cover," Nestor told her.

"Okay. I can block the Sorceress spell if she tries to get you by surprise," the fairy flew away.

Hunter grumbled, "Wouldn't surprise me if she tries something like that."

As they resisted the door while the two mages fight against each other's.
