"Hello, our sweet child," the female smiled.
"H-How...?" Crusher sniffled his tears. "I watch you die,"
"We heard your wish, kiddo," his father stated. "So we came to see you one more time."
Crusher smiled and drove towards them. "Mom... Dad... I miss you both so much,"
"We did too, Crushy..." his mother gently cupped his cheek. "but don't worry. Wherever you go, we will be there too,"
"We'll always watch over you," his father added with a smile.
Crusher smiled and took in their presence for as long as time would let him. His mother kissed his head before letting go.
"We love you, Crushy,"
"I... I love you too..." Crusher sniffled his tears as he watched the two spirits give him smiles before disappearing.
Blaze put a gentle tire on his shoulder. "Are... you okay?"
"I'll be fine," Crusher gave a sad smile.
"So... what will you do now?"
"Well... as the element dragon, I'll stay here to keep guard of the shapeshifters and this kingdom," Crusher replied.
"You will come back... won't you?" Watts asked.
"Sure I will," Crusher chuckled. "I wouldn't let my duties keep me from beating you all at the races, now would I?"
"I didn't think so," Blaze giggled.
"Well, I guess it's time to go?" Darington guessed.
"Yeah, we've got a race tomorrow," Starla agreed.
"I'll fly you all back home," Crusher offered.
"Thanks." Blaze smiled.
"No problem," Crusher shrugged and shifted his form into a large dragon, large enough for them to ride on. "Hop on!"
The group hopped on his back, and he flew off into the sky. They all gasped as they saw the brilliant view of the healing kingdom from above.
"Wow... it really is beautiful..." AJ sighed in amazement.
They all soon flew up and headed through the portal above. They came out from the ground, at the plain field of their world.
"Finally... we're home," Gabby sighed.
Crusher landed on the ground, and the group hopped off. He waited for all of them to be off then he took off into the sky again.
