Chapter 5: Dream Weaver dangers.

Meanwhile in Gnasty's world…

Gnasty Gnorc was in the middle of the hallways in his loot realm where he was in the middle of a meeting with some of the few gnorcs that was able to leave the Beast Makers homeworld shortly before Metalhead's demise. And the gnorcs were nervous to tell the news to Gnasty. Which was a tell tale clue to him that Metalhead might've failed to take out the dragons.

"So let me guess, Metalhead was unable to win the battle?" He said angrily.

"No boss. He didn't win." The Gnorc said.

Initially, Gnasty was hopeful that Metalhead might've won when he learned that he was receiving gnorc visitors to his place. And yet he just learned from his gnorcs that Metalhead has been defeated. Which had him hoping that at least it ended in a Pyrrhic victory, and that the four dragons also went down too. But he then ended up learning something that he never wanted to hear.

"A-and, about the dragons that we were sure might've died? T-they survived the battle… and are on their way to the Dream Weavers." The gnorc nervously said.

That had Gnasty feeling more livid at the news of the dragons surviving. As well as now feeling fear taking him, for he was sure that his minions could be able to beat the four dragons. And yet, they were still on the loose. Showing Gnasty that they're stronger than he thought, and that he has only one more strongest minion left to face them off. And if that minion fails, then that means he's next on their list.

And that made him pretty scared on the inside of the fact that he's gonna face them off if he's the last one standing. Which had him shivering. "Can I actually beat them? Could I be strong enough to defeat those four dragons?" He thought as he shivered. "Could I be able to beat them, and the adult dragons? How can I? How can I defeat those four dragons?"

"Uh, boss? Are you alright?" A gnorc asked.

That brought Gnasty back to the current times as he then glared at his minions as they all trembled under that nasty glare. "I want to know something." He quietly said.

"A-and… w-what is it, bo-"

"WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF BUILDING AND DEVELOPING METALHEAD?!" Gnasty yelled out, causing his gnorcs to flinch and back away in a panicked scramble.

"I-it was gnawty the bucktooth. He had a pretty intelligent b-brain regardless of the classic s-stereotype of being as dumb as a rock for his buck tooth." Another gnorc said.

"No it was Gnarl the aide, he should've told him to install a backpack onto M-metalhead sooner." Another said.

"I DON'T CARE WHO'S AT FAULT! IF THERE ARE ANYMORE ROBOTS THAT YOU CAN MAKE, THEN MAKE THEM!" Gnasty angrily yelled out.

"Ah yes, about that." The same first gnorc said.

"What?"

"We cannot make some more I'm afraid. Cause the d-dragons has taken back their s-swamp, and tore down our m-metal yard too. It seems that we might need to waste some more resources to make an army of these bots, that is if you don't mind us removing some metal off your buildings."

"Never mind then." Gnasty said, finding it impractical to build bots out of pieces of his fortress, whether taking pieces from Twilight Harbor, or Gnorc Cove. "We'll just have to count on our final strongest minion to fight against them. If not, then… I'll do it myself. NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"

The gnorcs wisely did as he told them to as they scurried away from him. Once all of them were gone, Gnasty climbed up the steps to his private chambers, and ended up calling through a hotline in his room to call his final minion.

After he dialed on his phone, and after the tone was finished, he was able to call his final strongest minion. "Hello?" A raspy voice sounded on the other end.

"Hello, is this Jacques?" Gnasty asked making sure.

"Yes, it is I Jacques the magnificent, AND TERRIBLE!" He suddenly shouted on the line, forcing Gnasty to move the speaker away from his face so he won't get deaf.

On the other end of the phone, was a creature that plenty of gnorcs would find horrifying. (Not as scary as Gnasty though.) He was a jester-eques jack in the box character only without the box. Having green skin on his face, a long chin that curled forward a bit while having a wide Cheshire-like grin over it that had sharp teeth being shown, bright maroon wings that has plenty of tears all over like somebody tore off some of his wings, and he had sharp claw-like fingers that was covered with white gloves which also had tears. He wore a jester hat that covered the sides of his face, a long sleeved renaissance performer's shirt, and he had a spring under him where his legs should be.

And he was holding a phone that Gnasty was calling him from. And he was wondering what he was being called for.

"And what is thy bidding M-master?" He asked with a small giggle.

"Listen up Jacques. There are four young dragons that are gonna be coming your way in a little while."

"Young dragons? Oh I always wondered what dragons taste like." He said with another giggle.

"W-well… you're about to get your answer. But I want you to go to your post, and wait for these four dragons to come your way. Once they do, then, well you know what to do."

"Ooh yes. I'll kill them for you master Gnasty! And I'll show all those gnorcs how it's done, MY WAY!" He shouted again.

"Good then. One more thing, I heard some rumors that they can now breathe another element. So watch out for their other element once they meet you." Gnasty said.

"Okay master gnasty. You can count on me about that. And I endeavor not to let you down." Jacques said. "Anything else? Hmhmhmhmhmh!" He giggled again.

"Just one more thing. If you take them out, report back to me, and we shall counterattack those fire breathing beasts. And we shall use what's left of those 'Four brave dragons' as our morale shock. Then we shall create our new age of gnorcs with you as my great champion. As well as hopefully revive Dr. Shemp, Blow hard, and Metalhead. And no dragon can stop us. Understand?" Gnasty said.

"Roger that. I'll make sure to end those 'four brave dragons' and I shall get my just rewards. OVER AND OUT!" He shouted before hanging up, leaving Gnasty alone to his devices.

Where he ended up walking around his room, practicing his mace-like scepter swings. Making vertical and horizontal swings with his mace-like scepter. Trying to practice for his battle against Spyro and his friends. He was determined to fight them, and rid the worlds of the dragons, and create a new era for himself.

Then suddenly he sat down in a fetal position. Knowing that should Jacques fail in his mission against the four dragons, then he's next for fighting them. Which is much to his horror as he didn't really think through his spell casting on the dragons, and what could happen to him once he misses one, or in this case, four dragons. Which thinking about it, had him feeling scared of what's in store for him once he meets them in person.

But now all he can do is sit and sniffle, feeling the pressure of the fact that the four dragons are on their way to face him. And there could be little he can do about it other than fight back. Even though he knew that he might fail himself. So he had to make sure that he will not by practicing his combat. So he kept on going regardless of his horror by using his rage to continue his training for the four dragons. Even though he believed that he's not gonna win that time.

Meanwhile… in a hidden location…

A dragon was walking through the halls to a meeting place in the castle. He had green scales with an orangish beige underbelly, green spots, orange rocklike spines that went down his back, and his tail tip that looked like a morning star (A/N The medieval weapon by the way.), that happened to look like a rock with large spikes sticking out. He wore a golden pauldron armor on his shoulder and forearm, his shins and feet, on his belt that he had wrapped around his waist which held a green cloth, as well as a bracelet on his tail, all of which had spikes on them, and he wielded a morning star weapon. Giving him two morning stars for weapons, and showing that he's a Peace Keeper.

He was going to a meeting that he was invited to after he felt a certain power, which came from the Beast Makers, which was shortly after he got frozen in crystal back in the Peace Keepers world and got freed by Spyro, and then he got an invitation from his friend awhile afterwards. Whom he was about to meet in the hidden room where meetings take place. He was nearly there as he thought about if the others felt it too. And if it's from the son of Nestor's as well as his three friends.

After making it through the doorway, he entered the room of the dragons and took a seat on the round table.

"I can see that you're a tiny bit late dear friend." A soft English voice said. Belonging to a dragon that just got illuminated by the sun after opening a window. Showing that he's a dragon with red scales and maroon spines and wings, and a beige underbelly and horns. He wore a wizard robe, or half of one on his left side which showed off the rest of his torso, and a belt. He also held a crystal ball in his hand that currently was showing thick mist. Showing that he's a Dream Weaver.

And there were other dragons that also got illuminated. Each of them showing themselves around the table, and what they look like.

Like a dragon with yellow scales and dark blue and yellow wings, having brighter yellow zig-zag mark patterns that looked like lightning bolts on his arms and legs and his tail, and having horns that curved upwards and had sparks being made on his horn tips. He wore a highway man's coat that was bluish gray, and another belt. Showing that he's Magic Crafter.

And a blue scaled dragon with white spines and horns that looked like they were icy in design, He wore a scarf and a long robe that is fluffy on the collar, showing that he's also a Magic Crafter.

And the other dragons were Nestor, Titan, Cosmos, and Delbin. Who also took a seat at the large round table alongside the dragons.

"Sorry that I was late Ignitus. There was a storm that kept me in my home in the Peace Keepers world." The green dragon replied in a deep baritone voice.

"Ah yes, storms are usually bad news. They don't help. They usually delay your trip. They often slow you down. They almost always waste your time. And so forth." The yellow dragon said.

"But nevertheless, you're now here Terrador, alongside my fellow guardians, as well those that have raised the four young dragons, and is also currently free from the crystal prison like us. All thanks to those four brave dragons." Ignitus said with a smile. "By the way, thank you for freeing me Volteer."

"Ah, it was nothing. Anything for a dear friend, a fellow chum, a brother in arms, and so on." Volteer said.

"But why would this Gnasty cast this spell on us? Doesn't he know that he's declaring war on us, which is a war that he'd be unable to win?" Terrador asked.

"I think it's cause he overestimated himself. He did have sort of an arrogant flare to him, thinking he's better than us." Cyril said.

"No, last I heard, is that one of us must've insulted him, called him bad names, pressed his sensitive buttons. And that made him angry, livid, enraged at us, leading him-"

"I don't care what possessed him into attacking us with that spell!" The red dragon said raising his voice a bit. "The point is that he has struck against us. And his gnorcs have attacked us too. But that's half a reason why we're having this discussion."

"What is the reason then? Does it involve the ones who freed us?" Terrador asked.

"Why yes it does." Nestor said. "You see, a little while ago, I was in the middle of exploring the Peace Keepers and Magic Crafters world alongside Delbin after attempting to do some damage checking and control in the Dream Weavers only to be driven out by this Jacques creature. It was in the Peace Keepers where we were helping with the cleanup there that we heard about Spyro's deeds there, and we were in the Magic Crafters, where we met Cyril shortly after being freed from his own crystal prison, when I felt a power surge in the Beast Makers world. Then next thing you know, I got a message from you, Ignitus. Then on the way to this room, I met Titan and Cosmos, who also got a message from you. And then Volteer was also here with you in this room."

"And now you arrive, Terrador." Titan said giving him a superior's salute, causing him to respond with his own to address his superior. "We're all now here and ready to discuss the power surge. Correct?"

"Yes, your correct Titan. As for what happened to cause the power surge, well I feel that I have to tell you all Nestor, Titan, Delbin, and Cosmos that it involves Spyro. As well as his three best friends." He said.

"Oh dear. Are they alright? Are they hurt?" Nestor asked worried as is Titan, Cosmos, and Delbin.

"They're merely the former. They're alive and well." Ignitus said, relieving Titan, Nestor, Delbin and Cosmos. The latter of which happens to be Cynder's guardian after Cynder coincidentally was also an orphan like Spyro before her, since she was a baby that hatched out of her egg a couple months ago.

"But I confess, they were in danger. For you see, they were facing off against a gnorc minion in the Beast Makers, known as Metalhead. Whom they were able to beat." He said to calm the other dragons down.

"But Metalhead had some surprises up his non existent sleeves in the final stages of the battle, where he had some power left to do some damage against Spyro and his friends while they were weakened by the battle which would've ended badly for them. And then the power surge came, which they were able to use against Metalhead to defeat him, before being saved by the Beast Makers, and making a full recovery afterwards." Ignitus continued to say.

"That's my boy/girl." Cosmos, Nestor, Delbin, and Titan said, patting each other on the backs and smiling.

"But that's not the only interesting news that I'm about to give. I have learned that they've unlocked the ability to use a new breath. That being electricity. Now only the ancestors knows how long until they can know how to use the other elemental breaths, but I'm confident that it won't take long." Ignitus said smiling.

What Ignitus said surprised the other dragons as they had to take in the fact that Spyro and his friends were able to not only breathe fire, but also electricity too. And if what Ignitus says is true, they're gonna breathe other elemental breaths before too long. And that had them shocked, yet proud of the four dragons for having done so after coming so far from their beginnings as hatchlings in their arms.

Although they haven't gotten more farther yet since Gnasty is still around.

"So that means, Spyro isn't the only one to breathe more than fire as his breath?" Terrador asked.

"Of course Terrador, for his three friends that are named Cynder, Flame, and Ember are also able to breathe other elemental breaths too. And yet none of them are purple in accordance to the legend, but that's alright because now we have four." Ignitus said.

"What legend?" Nestor asked, with Titan and Cosmos also curious.

"The legend of the prophecy that was foretold to us, of a purple dragon with the ability to breathe more than one breath, that would save us from a terrible fate, yet now we have four dragons of different colors of scales that can do that too, which is the reason why I asked you and your fellow guardians of Spyro and his friends to come here. For I wanted to ask for your permissions if we would like to teach them how to fight like the chosen ones." Ignitus responded.

"What do you mean?" Titan asked, though he had a feeling he was gonna get an answer that he knew Nestor might not like. As was Nestor and Delbin.

Volteer then piped up. "What we mean, is if all four of those brave dragons may be taught by us, like they're going to a private school, like we're becoming their tutors, like-"

"The point is," Ignitus began, interrupting Volteer before he keep on speaking. "that we hope we may have your permission to teach them how to control their elemental breaths better, as well as teach them the ancient art of close combat, known as 'Dragon Kata,' in order to shape them into becoming the chosen ones and fulfilling their prophesy."

"Prophesy?! Chosen ones?! Spyro and his friends?! Why them?!" Nestor asked shocked.

"Are you upset dear friend?"

"I'm not. I did envision this day would come." Titan said, feeling proud of the four young dragons. "I just didn't think that it'd be happening while Gnasty is still kicking. And that it'd be all four of them. Besides Nestor, I'm sure that Spyro will make you proud, as Cynder would for you Cosmos, as Ember would do for her parents, and as Flame would do for you Delbin."

"Yes, as Titan said, Spyro seems like a surprisingly good fighter for an Artisan, and he does have at least more intelligence than those barbaric knights. Eh, no offence Titan and Terrador." Cyril said referring to the Peacekeepers.

"None taken." Titan and Terrador both said annoyed.

"I just… don't know." Nestor said nervously. "There are downsides of being a chosen one according to the books I read, what with the pressure of becoming one which could leave your friends envious or too supportive to a point of annoyance and being a liability, or the fact that he could be a target for the villains who'd want to kill them while they're defenseless and untrained, or possibly become a villain themselves thanks to their ego from becoming one. And that could be a dangerous journey to go on for my boy. And for his friends too."

"Yes, I'm aware of the dangers of that Nestor, but what if 'he' or the other dark villain, ends up returning to the dragon realms and we aren't prepared? What if there is gonna be another danger that rears its ugly head for the chosen one to defeat? not counting our current one." Ignitus said, referring to Gnasty gnorc. "Plus, what is it like to raise Spyro and his friends?"

"Well, he has an ego, and he does start getting arrogant about taking out gnorcs, but he does learn to be quiet and focus when I tell him to." Nestor said. "But I know that he might not be mature enough."

"Flame was like that for me too." Delbin also said. "Only he was a little more nervous about going into actual danger, and he is pretty clumsy, but my son is quite brave, and he has a heart of a great dragon. And he too listens to me when I tell him to.

And Cynder was pretty snappy shortly after she learned about her parent's… disappearance." Cosmos said somberly before continuing. "As well as due to her upbringing back in our home due to her darker scales. But she became more kinder as she grew a bit, and due to her friendship with Spyro and his friends. But I have some doubts about her's and Ember's-"

"Then I trust you all to raise them alongside us to help them with maturing. After all, we're not trying to take them from you and raise them ourselves, rather that we plan to give them like a private school. Just so that we can help raise them into proper chosen ones, so that we may be ready for any dangers that threaten us, including 'them'. I just hope that you all may give us permission to let us become their teachers and guardians too. And hopefully stop their chosen status from becoming public knowledge."

It took awhile for Nestor, Delbin, and Cosmos to decide whether to let Ignitus raise Spyro and his friends into chosen ones alongside themselves, or to refuse and simply raise them themselves without Ignitus and his friends entering their lives. After all, they know that there are indeed risks of becoming the chosen one, but there could be enough benefits too, and Ignitus had a point about what the dangers could be if there was no chosen one to defend them from any evils that threaten them.

Eventually, they ended up making a choice. "Okay. So be it. Just try not to be too hard on them. And please keep them safe from any dangerous enemy that they aren't ready to face." Nestor said while the dragons nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled, we shall teach them in how to become the chosen one after their current work is done in freeing the dragons. Which shouldn't be too long now as they're beginning to finish their job in the Dream Weavers now." Ignitus said, much to their shock.

"They're going to the Dream Weavers?! Oh dear, I hope they'll steer clear of that Jacques creature, he looks scary." Delbin said, having met Jacques himself.

"Let's hope that should they ever fight him, they are ready, and skilled enough to take him out before he gives them trouble." Cyril said.

"I hope so too. It'd be such a huge shame to lose Spyro and his friends before their chosen one status could take off. Which is why, should they be in trouble, then you all can find them and save them with our help against Jacques." Ignitus said, relieving their fears.

The meeting went on for a couple minutes, before it then ended on Ignitus's call.

Meanwhile… Approaching the Dream Weavers…

"I do hope that we may have a date in my homeworld once Gnasty's down, it would be so romantic and fun, don't you think Spyro? Or Flame?" Ember thought.

"Woah. Look at this place. It looks nice." Spyro said as Cynder and Flame nodded in agreement.

"Well there's other nice worlds outside the artisans, you know." Cynder said.

"After what I've seen, even in the paintings, I agree with you on that one." Flame said.

"I'm just so happy to be home again." Ember said as the four dragons approached their destination, which is the final dragon world in the fifth realm, known as the Dream Weavers.

Astor was only able to give limited descriptions about the Dream Weavers, saying that they're of humor and mirth, complimenting their dream weaving, and finding their place as beautiful (Other than dark passage.). But they were told that, according to Ember, they are keepers of peace in the night. From the floating island in the clouds, they fit through the dreams of their creations (Hence the name.), of the dragons and creatures through out the worlds, ensuring that they're protected from the nightmares of darkness, as they sleep. So if any dragon young or old ends up suffering such nightmares, they call on the Dream Weaver dragons for help.

And they had a world that happened to be pretty to look at. Pretty much close to the level of the Artisans, which gave them the nickname 'the Dream Artisans' from the other kinds of dragons due to how pretty their world is.

In terms of combat, they're basically like the Magic Crafter dragons in that they can cast spells. Only, that the Dream Weavers are more into casting illusions and more capable of mind magic. Being able to read minds, hypnotize gnorcs, and in more extreme circumstances, assault the minds of their enemies that they interrogate for answers.

And it is Ember's homeworld. Where Ember herself was born and raised, and she happened to be a rich dragoness since her parents were talented in their jobs, and they happen to weave special dreams for the good dragons that deserve them (Spyro being among them, who still remembers living in a giant castle with Nestor in it. As well as eating sheep ribs with a mystery girlfriend of his, who was merely a black dragoness.), and since her father is leader. An upbringing that she enjoyed, but she'd rather make friends with dragons regardless of their lower class, or even if they're (as the upper class dragons call them), peasants. And her friendship with Spyro and Flame was a good start for her, before meeting Cynder later on. Which led to their friendship that lasted to this day.

"Come on guys, let's free my people, and hopefully find my parents!" Ember said as she and her friends ran through the island before gliding to another island. Where they saw the portal that lead to the Dark Passage, and they met the monks of the world, whom in contrast of the dragon monks who are wise and calm, those monks were jittery and looked stupid. And they looked like they want to defeat Spyro and his friends.

Flame ended up charging down the small one with the armored belly while Ember tried to charge the winged one. Only for the winged one to grow taller causing her to only feel like she hit a wall, before getting saved by Cynder torching the now tall monk. Before gliding to the larger island that has a castle on it. Where they saw more of the monks as they started to change shapes.

"So, why are they changing? Wait! What's that?" Spyro asked before he realized that there was some sort of blast that hit the monks, causing them to change. Then he followed the path the blast came from and then saw a cannon on the floating island that was in the center of the world, and happened to be higher than the other islands.

"So, I guess if we take him out, the cannon is all ours and we can change those monks to how we want them, right?" Flame asked Ember.

"Yep. Even though with our electric breaths, that's not necessary. But hey, maybe that cannon has a use, so let's make use of it once we reach it." She said before they all charged and fought the monks with their electric breath, taking down the large armored ones with their electric breath. Which makes up for being unable to defeat the armored enemies with their fire breath. So they felt that the monks stood no chance against them.

First though, they decided to go through the walkway to the courtyard of the castle, where they quickly saw the Crystal Dragon. So they shattered it to release Lateef.

Lateef has a deeper shade of blue on his cyan scales, he also has ears with the right one having a gold earring, and feathered wings that had stars painted on like they could be seeing space in those wings. He wore two pieces of cloth around his neck and waist that had golden trims on them, as well as a golden necklace with tassles and a rope belt. And he happens to be balancing on his tail next to a small pot that holds pink glowing rocks.

Lateef is the leader of the Dream Weavers and a monk. Who unlike the monks that the quartet fought against, happens to be wise and spiritual. His wisdom is legendary, and his intelligence and charisma is what made him a good leader of the Dream Weaver dragons, as well as his knowledge of his mystical arts which helps him with his dream weaving.

And despite his lack of any resemblance, he is Ember's father.

"Welcome to the Dream Weavers Spyro. And welcome back Ember." He said with happiness when he saw Ember with Spyro as she hugged him after he got on his feet.

"Oh daddy! I'm glad that you're okay. I hoped that you didn't get hurt beyond getting trapped in crystal. I'm so glad that my hopes were answered." She said smiling.

"And I'm glad that you're okay too. It seems that Spyro and his friends have protected you well." Lateef said smiling at them. "By the way, where were you all when this happened?"

"In the Artisans world, trying to unlock the Sunny flight realm shortly after my glide training with pops. We were also talking to uncle Delbin when it happened." Spyro said.

"We were able to free them both, and then we learned that Gnasty was behind the attack after that. Which is what led to our journey here." Cynder said.

"But we also had to free the Peace Keeper, Magic Crafter, and Beast Maker dragons while we were at it." Flame said.

"Ah. Anyways, please come back to your home Ember, while I find your mother. She'd be worried sick if she finds out that you're still gone and in danger." He said.

"But daddy, I wanna go help Spyro and his friends rescue the remaining dragons here. They might need me." She said.

"But you cannot. What if you end up in danger by that Gnasty gnorc? What if he has enemies that can hurt you badly and your friends cannot help? What if-"

"I'll be fine daddy! Trust us, we dealt with hard minions before." She said.

"She's right. We had to deal with hard and tough minions to get here. Like Dr. Shemp, Blowhard, and even Metalhead. Especially Metalhead." Spyro said.

"Not to mention the metal spiders and beetles from high caves." Flame interjected.

"And we even got electric breath from it. Watch." Spyro said before breathing electricity from his mouth at a wall, much to Lateef's shock. "See, all four of us can do it."

"They're right daddy. So please let me go so I can aid them. They might need me." She said, begging Lateef to let her go.

It took some time passing for Lateef to make a choice. "Very well, you can go with them." He conceded, much to Ember's joy since she'll still help Spyro. "While you four are still freeing us and chasing gnorcs, you four must expect the unexpected. And prepare for what is not there." Lateef advised. "Also, please continue to guard and keep my daughter safe. I don't want to hear the news of my daughter's death once all of us are free and once Gnasty falls. And I don't want to break the news to my wife." He begged.

"Don't worry Lateef! We'll protect her like she's our sister! You can count on us." Flame said determined. Also not wanting to see Ember get wounded or killed on their journey towards defeating Gnasty.

"That's the response I hoped for." He said before flying away. Leaving the quartet to their devices as they decided to go to the cannon.

Soon, they got to the cannon, took out the winged monk that used it, and then used it on a pair of armored monks that blocked the doorway with stairs. Sure they could've used their electric breath against them, but they thought that it was more fun to charge them down. Then they saw a crystal dragon. Whom they touched to shatter the statue to rescue Zikomo.

Zikomo is cyan colored with a beige underbelly, and maroon feathery wings, with horns that curl inwards with a star that floated in between them. And he held a purple hourglass.

Zikomo is the right hand man of the leader of the Dream Weavers Lateef, and he is a time wizard, able to reverse time by at least five to ten minutes, as well as slow down time a bit. So if an enemy tried to attack Lateef, he'd slow down time, and they'd have enough time to react with a counterattack, or to make a tactical retreat to strike back.

"Hello Spyro and friends! Nicely done!"

"Thank you, but we'll be done once we've torched Gnasty gnorc!" Spyro said.

"Your welcome. But be warned. There is a final boss that you all might want to be careful facing against. But if he goes down, then Gnasty's left, and he's all yours." He said, leaving them smirking at what he said.

After Zikomo flew away, the quartet glided back to the pair of monks and charged them down, before climbing up the stairs, feeling curious about what they could go to at the top. Once at the top, they glided to the ledge before gliding to another high place on the castle where they saw a bunch of jesters jumping around.

"Okay Ember, know what they are?" Spyro asked, interested in learning about them.

"Clock fools. They cannot be killed by our fire or our horns. And I doubt that our electric breath can take them out too. But once we attack them, then good things happen."

Their response, had Flame charging them alongside Spyro, hitting them which caused them to fall down on their backs now unconscious as their hats turned into clock bells as they also had clocks beside them. Suddenly a pair round platforms ended up rising up like mountains, and they seemed to lead to an island that has a portal on it.

The quartet took that as a cue to traverse the platforms to that island before the jesters could awaken according to Ember, which would reset the platforms into becoming flat again. After all, she tried this before against the fools even before she met Spyro and his friends.

Once at the portal that the platforms led them to, they saw that it was another flight realm, much to their dismay. Even though they enjoyed the reward in treasure once they complete the challenges, the challenges were quite hard as they learned the hard way.

So they decided to draw straws again like last time, only with blades of grass on the island, to decide on who should take on the Icy flight challenge. Which ended in Cynder losing. "Well, crap. Guess the Ancestors thought that I'm long overdue for that flight challenge." She said, before jumping in the portal to take on the challenge.

Where it was quite as hard as her three friends told her, taking on the lighthouses, treasure chests, trains, and helicopter gnorcs. She was able to succeed at the challenge since it was not as hard as the Beast Maker's flight realm. But it was as hard as she thought it'd be, and even though she enjoyed the reward in treasure after completing it, she was glad it was over with and she hoped that Gnasty doesn't have his own in his world.

Once again, the quartet split up into different groups. This time Flame and Spyro decided to work together, and went to the dreaded Dark Passage, while Ember and Cynder went to Lofty Castle. Before uniting at the boss realm. Or a hard realm that they all might need to unite in like in Tree Tops.

In the Dark Passage, both Spyro and Flame entered the first cave through the floating mountainous island. Where right off the bat, they end up meeting the lantern fool and the dog and turtle.

"Aww, how adorable. I hope we can keep them as a pet after our journey to Gnasty gnorc is over." Flame said, finding the dog and the turtle as adorable while the lantern fool had the light from the lantern shining on them.

He would've walked to them, but Spyro stopped him. "Wait Flame, I've got a bad feeling about them. After all, that lantern fool is up to something, as I don't think he's just giving them away." He said.

Before Flame could ask why, the lantern fool ended up proving Spyro right as he blew out the fire in the lantern, causing the room to get dark. And in an instant the turtle and dog transformed into bigger, meaner, and stronger versions. With the dog growing big in the torso and its head while turning red, now having a large lamprey mouth that is full of fire, and the dog ears became devil horns. While the turtle also grew bigger in the torso area, having a bigger head and the metal shell also grew to where they can't burn it or charge it.

Cue the shriek of a girl dragon as Flame ended up scrambling back to where they came in as he screamed in fear at how scary the dog and turtle was. While Spyro flinched and backed away at first due to the surprise at the jump scare, but he simply breathed electricity at the dog when it tried to eat him. Before charging the lantern fool as the lantern grew to three times the fool's size as it crushed him while relighting. Causing the turtle to shrink to normal size before he charged the turtle down.

After they both got taken out, Spyro ran back to Flame as he trembled and shivered at what he just saw. "Oh dear ancestors, I should've listened to grandpa Astor when he told us not to go to Dark Passage. I always wondered what scared him about this place. Now I know why." He said nervously as Spyro ended up comforting him with his wings to calm him down.

"It's okay Flame. To be fair, I did get startled by what happened since I didn't really expect them to turn. Guess I should've visited this place often in my prior visits." He said.

"S-so were you s-scared of them too?" Flame asked looking as Spyro with surprise.

"Briefly. But it was mainly the jump scare that got to me. As for how they looked, well let's just say that they didn't back up their bark with their bites." He said with a chuckle. "Besides, I'm sure that you can face your fears and impress me if you put your mind to it." He said putting a comforting wing on Flame.

That had Flame calming down from his fears after some time passed, as he ended up making a small smile at Spyro. "Thank you bro. I hope that I'll impress you here, and become more courageous."

"That's my bro!" Spyro responded as he slapped Flame's hand before giving him a noogie.

After more recuperating, Flame and Spyro continued through the Dark Passage as they used the whirlwind after passing a non hostile fool as he let them pass since he knew that attacking them would result in them charging him again. Then they trotted right, leading to the outside where they were now walking along the ledge walkway. Which had the little demon dogs since the wall torches illuminated them. Which Flame ended up charging down out of revenge for scaring him.

All while staring out and seeing another mountainside walkway in the distance, which they felt that they could glide to, but they decided against it since they knew they can't, as they too looked out on the dark sky of the Dark Passage. Finding it to be pretty looking with the purple color and the stars, even though it's associated with the demon dogs and turtles that changes size and shape in the dark and light. Which Flame instantly despised due to their fearsome looks. Which also had him hating the lantern fools since they cause the dogs and turtles to transform when they extinguish the candles.

It's a good thing Spyro was so brave against them, otherwise he'd be in trouble in the Dark Passage against the Demon dogs and turtles.

Speaking of which, they got to another cave to meet more of them, which could've had Flame screaming like a girl again. But he held it in as he and Spyro had an idea, which is to synchronize attacking the fool, then the dog and turtle together. So on a count of three, they rushed in the cave as Flame and Spyro used their lightning breath on the fool to electrocute him and light the lantern, then Flame charged down the turtle while Spyro took out the dog. Soon they were in the whirlwind that took them straight to the crystal dragon on top.

Which they touched to release Kasiya.

Kasiya is a pink scaled dragon with a blue-ish, green-ish underbelly, who wore violet wrist armor and leg warmers, a blue nightcap with holes to his horns, and the left side of his face is marked with green colors. And he was balancing himself on his tail, while balancing a golden flask that had blue bubbles floating out of it.

Kasiya is a potion maker like the Magic Crafters, especially as he made similar potions like they do. Only he was different from the Magic Crafters in a few things. One is that he also mainly makes potions that also helps dragons and whelps sleep, as well as enhance their brain functions as they sleep. Second is that he obviously is a Dream Weaver, who also happens to tell riddles and happens to modifies dreams to a less scary environment. And third, he happened to be a drunkard who often enough, was easy to tire as he was often sleepy through the daytimes of the Dream Weavers despite working hard, and he enjoys the bubbling drinks like the golden flask on his belly.

"The enemies you both see here can be frightening. But you should watch the fools." He said a bit tiredly.

"We'd rather flame the fools!" Flame said, determined to brave the Dark Passage. Much to Spyro's approval.

"Now you're both thinking." He said with a yawn before laying back on his tail to nap the night away as both dragons ran past him.

Where they immediately went up against a devil cupid. Whom tried to hit them, but they saw it coming as they both decided to breathe lightning on him and electrocute him, making him vanish in smoke as they proceeded forward. Only to find another cave where there was another demon dog in the dark. Luckily for Flame, the fool turned on the lantern before he noticed them, turning the dog small. Which Flame and Spyro took advantage of as Flame charged down the dog while Spyro charged the fool to prevent him from turning the lantern off.

They proceed into the cave, only to then see two more demon dogs and another fool. But Spyro was ready for them as he torched one of them while Flame torched the fool to turn the lantern back on as it crushed the fool, before Spyro took down the other dog after it got small again. "Hah! See Flame, they aren't that tough! Just-" He said, but Flame's gasp interrupted him as he looked back.

And saw a red demon dog running at him at high speeds down a large step. Which Flame felt that it's gonna result in the demon dog reaching Spyro before he could react. And possibly eat Spyro whole once he gets to him, and Spyro would be unable to do anything about it since he wasn't fast enough as he braced himself for the dog's teeth. But it never came.

When Spyro opened his eyes, he saw that the dog was frozen in place, before shattering into pieces and leaving behind a green gem as an enraged Flame also charged against the fool, who also got electrocuted and crushed by the lantern as it lit up and changed the turtle back to being Small, before it too got charged and vanished while leaving a gem behind. All because of Flame, who took them all out as fast as a bullet.

For in his eyes, Flame felt fear going through him as he saw the demon dog charging Spyro, like he was going through slow motion. Before seeing that Spyro might not be able to survive that, and that gave Flame another emotion, which is anger. After all, if he didn't stop the dog from eating Spyro, he could've lost his big brother figure, and that made him enraged at the dog for trying to do that, to where he dug his claws into the floor, as he bounded and sprinted forward, and breathed an elemental breath on the dog without thinking. Which ended up being ice. Then he took out the fool, and then the turtle in quick succession.

Now Flame was standing there as Spyro was staring in shock at what happened in front of him, with Flame was catching his breath as he was prepared to defend himself from more demon dogs. When he calmed down though, he also was shocked at what he did too. While Spyro ended up feeling impressed towards Flame as he congratulated him. "Whoa. That was awesome Flame! I swear, I knew you could do it!" Spyro said, proud of him.

"Uhh… Thanks. It was nothing." He said stroking his head spines.

"More than that is more like it! And, was that ice that I saw that demon dog frozen in? Did… did you suddenly freeze that dog?!"

That had Flame realizing with shock that he breathed ice on the demon dog that tried to eat Spyro. "I breathed ice? Wow. Hehe, how ironic." He said with an awkward chuckle.

"Either way, that was awesome! I knew you'd impress! And I believe you faced your fears?" He asked.

"I… I guess I did." Flame said smiling.

"Can I do it too though?" He asked, before he decided to test the water, and see if he can breathe ice. Which he did on the wall, much to his amazement. "Awesome! Guess we're having snow cones for celebrating with after we beat Gnasty. But until then, let's keep going!" Spyro said smiling as he ran ahead. "Coming bro?!"

"Right behind you!" Flame said excitedly, following close behind him.

---

"Those guys again?" Cynder said as she saw some enemies that she never thought she'd see in a while. Which happened to be the gnorcs with the metal bellies that she remembers fighting and defeating in Dark Hollow.

Only this time, they happen to be floating up and down because of the balloons they were holding onto.

But Ember was merely grinning at that since she knew the weakness of theirs, being the balloon itself. So she merely waited for the balloon to be at their level, before torching the balloon and earning the blue gem while the large gnorc fell to the bottomless pit. "Don't worry, they don't get any harder." She said smiling at Cynder, who just shrugged and smiled back.

Then both of them glided to another part of the floating island of the Lofty Castle, taking out some flying puffer birds along the way, before gliding to another floating island to take out more of the platypuses and breathing fire on the balloons to make the metal bellied gnorcs fall to their doom. All while collecting gems, and rescuing the fairies from the cages that the gnorcs trapped them in.

"Okay girls, let's help those dragonesses across." One gold dressed fairy said before casting a whirlwind spell on the platform, creating a whirlwind to a courtyard of the Lofty Castle, which both dragonesses took to glide to the crystal dragon on the upper part of the courtyard. Which they shattered to release Mudada.

Whom was also a sorcerer Dream Weaver dragon, green scaled while having horns and wings that are made of plush material, while also having a plush star on his tail tip. He wore a blue vest, and he's holding a fairy doll.

If there was a dragon that exemplifies the term 'gentle giant', Mudada would be it. Considering his soft spoken demeaner regardless of his bottom heavy size, his gentle design of having plush horns and wings, and being fond of young whelps, (A/N Not in that way you sick fracks!) pretty much to the point where he'd protect them from any kind of harm even from the nightmares, and the fact that he's pretty smart for looking like a whelp in a grown dragon's body, Mudada is one of the more endearing dragons at least in Ember's eyes.

"Fairies are always on your side, Ember, and Cynder." He said making his fairy plush wave at them.

"Good to know." Cynder said a little awkwardly before moving on with Ember through the courtyard's upper parts. Before dropping down to the lower parts after taking out the devil cupids. Where she met a rare sight. Red gem chests where they have a gem pop out of the top for them to grab once they torch or charge into it. Usually those chests have either blue, yellow, or even purple gems inside, but here, they have red gems inside. Which confused both Cynder and Ember on how there isn't more of them.

But they didn't think about it much as they just took those gems and other gems while finding the chest. Which they knew they need a key for. So they had to get back to the upper area of the courtyard. So they tried to look for a whirlwind, only to see the fairies in cages again. So they freed them from the cages to have them create the whirlwind back up, and continued onwards.

Which brought them to a figurative fork in the road, where they can go left where the line of puffer birds are which leads to the tall tower, or to the right where they would be heading onto another floating island. After admiring the scenery of the Lofty Castle, they decided on the former, as they breathed lightning on the puffer birds before also electrocuting the devil cupid. Who ended up hitting Cynder with its arrow, turning Spryte darker blue. Soon, they got to the tower which they entered.

Where they took a whirlwind immediately to see where it'll take them. They ended up reaching the top of the inside of the tower where they saw that they have a curving glide path with the gnorcs holding balloons, and caged fairies. With a grin, they both glided as Cynder torched the balloon gnorcs while Ember took down the cages to free the fairies. Though the gnorcs ended up vanishing while they fell to the floor, which she admits doesn't look like that big a drop, but Cynder remained focused on taking down the gnorcs during her glide.

All while Ember was in the middle of taking down the fairy cages, only to miss one on the way down to the other platform that they both knew would be a whirlwind platform. Much to her embarrassment since she could've got them all in one glide, which would've been awesome for her.

But Cynder was there with her. "Don't worry Ember, just learn from your mistakes of what happened here, and I'm sure you'll get them next time. Besides, there's only one fairy to free now." Cynder said comforting Ember with her wing. Which she appreciated.

"Thanks Cynder. You're right, there is only one left." She said smiling at her. "Stay here it won't take long." Ember said before running back to the whirlwind, then soon, she was gliding back down intending to free the fairy. But she missed just short of the cage on her second try, much to her embarrassment.

"Here, I'll try it out. Be right back." Cynder said before running back to the whirlwind, and soon, glided to the cage trying to reach it with her charging horns. Only to overshoot that target and land on her horns with a cartoonish landing. Much to Ember's amusement.

"In my head, I thought that it was gonna be cool." Cynder said while lying on the ground, facepalming with her wing in embarrassment.

After stifling the rest of her giggles, Ember ended up taking the whirlwind again, and glided down to the caged fairy. This time, she used her fire breath while adjusting her neck upwards to free the fairy, who joined the other free fairies at the whirlwind. "Thank you, Ember and Cynder for taking out the gnorcs and freeing us. Now, let us reward you." One of them said as they created the whirlwind up to the tower's top room.

Which they took as they levitated upwards. "Thanks gals!" Cynder called out as they went up, before reaching the top with Ember to find a Crystal dragon inside. Which they broke to release Ember's mother, whom is a Dream Weaver named Lume.

(A/N Lume is a Galician word for fire. In case people don't know.)

She had red scales with pink tiger stripes on her scales, while having a pink underbelly with a hypno swirl, while she also happened to be pretty shapely like a mother. She has orange hair that trailed down to her lower back, and her horns had a sort of pink glowing swirls on them. She wore a purple wizard robe trimmed with white that was held up with a pink sash while also showing and a pair of japanese geta sandals.

Lume is an eccentric magician who happens to weave dreams, and she has a sort of energy to her if her glowing horns isn't enough of an indication. And she had a wise zen to her as well since she happens to be good at riddles, and she happens to be a great 'sensei' a title she prefers to be called by, as well as a mother to Ember.

"Ember?! You're back!" She said taking Ember in her arms. "Ooh, I missed you so much. I was scared that you got hit too when we all got frozen. Thank goodness you weren't." She said relieved.

"Hi mom. I'm glad to meet you too." Ember also said, happy that her mom is free again as Cynder looked on in relief. As well as a little bit of envy, but she isn't showing it as she didn't wanna ruin the reunion.

After the hug, Ember was put back on the ground. That was when things got a bit serious. "Anyways, listen mommy. All this was Gnasty's doing. He trapped all of you in crystal." Ember said.

"Gnasty did this!? That jerk! He shouldn't have done that, especially since you possibly went through so much to free all of us from our prisons." She said, believing that Ember went through bad times in her journey back to her home world.

"It wasn't that hard mommy." Ember said, only to shrink a little bit at her mom's slight glare, which she would use if she senses a lie from her daughter. "Okay. It was a hard journey at points. Especially… while going up against Metalhead." She confessed.

"I knew it. My daughter went through so much to rescue us. I'm so relieved that it didn't cost you your life. Although I'm guessing that you still want to keep going?"

"Of course I do. I can't leave my friends to do the rest of the work. They could need me. Especially Spyro and Flame." She said the last part to herself.

Rather than protest, Lume thankfully smiled down at her. "You remind me of myself when I was your age." She said, stroking her daughter's head. "Then I won't stop you. Just promise me you'll be alright, and safe with your friends while saving the rest of us. And taking out Gnasty's final minion."

"I will mommy." Ember said, determined not to break that promise.

"Anyways, thank you both for freeing me. The Supercharge can help you both get to new places in Lofty castle by the way. See where they'll take you both." She said, making them both grin as they still had fun with the supercharge. "Oh, and here you go my daughter." She then said, handing both of them the key they were looking for.

"Thank you Mommy. We'll do that." Ember said, giving Lume a kiss on her snout, before both dragonesses glided to the doorway behind them which was where they saw the supercharge path that lead down from the tower.

"Race you to the end." Ember challenged with a grin. Making Cynder grin in return.

"You're on!" She responded before she dashed alongside Ember through the supercharge path to where they're going next in Lofty Castle.

---

"THIS! WORLD! SUCKS!" Flame said after the umpteenth time he got beaned by the tin soldier minions. Yet still having a now green Sira.

"You said it bro! Those armor guys are a pain in our tail!" Spyro said, also hurting with a blue Sparx, and unhappy about the Haunted Towers.

The major reason being, is that there were tin soldiers all over the outside of the castle and the floating island they were on, who ended up using their helmets to flatten both of them. And their electric breath wasn't working well for them since the armored guys had nobody inside but merely air as they've learned the hard way a few times, as well as being too large for their charging horns to take out, and the steel was too hard for them to use their ice breath on them to freeze and shatter them so they merely had them frozen in place in a block. And they don't need to explain their fire breath at their current strength.

In other words, they were merely floating, animated full sets of armor that a dragon should be wearing, but there were wizards that gave them life of their own as they also used them and their direct spells to hurt both dragons. Which is much to their dismay as they pretty much got hurt by them enough to know that the Haunted Towers is not pulling any punches in terms of being a hard realm so far. Especially while one of which was blocking them from going to a castle.

And they were still on the floating island that they began on.

What doesn't help, is that there were gnorcs there too. As they ended up seeing one as he threw a grenade that exploded on them shortly after they entered the realm and busted down the closed door. And there were a few more as they kept going through the path on the island as they took some out on their way to the tin soldier minion that was blocking their path.

"EEEK! SOMEBODY HELP!"

They ended up hearing a girl's cries for help, so Spyro raced to the source of the noise while Flame kept focusing on the tin soldier minion, by crossing the bridge and charging down the wooden door, to see a fairy getting chased by a grenade throwing gnorc. Who basically was laughing like he liked the thrill of a chase, and taunting her about how there's no escape from him.

It's too bad for the gnorc though, since there is no escape for him too as Spyro electrocuted him, leaving him crispy from the shock before he vanished.

"Are you okay miss?"

The fairy that had orange hair and a purple dress gave a giggle as she descended down to his level. "Oh yes, I'm fine now thanks to you. Thank you for saving me from that ugly toad, Spyro is it?"

"Yep, that's me." He said. Before…

*CLANG*

The fairy, dragon, and dragonfly cringed at the sound of the metal armor as it hit the floor. Before a dizzy and frustrated Flame ended up entering the same room shortly afterwards as a cartoonish bump adorned his head between his horns, and with Sira invisible. The fairy, Spyro, and Sparx had to stifle their giggles at the sight despite Flame's lack of a dragonfly.

"Oh dear, are those wizards causing trouble again?" She asked, concerned for Flame.

"Yep. And those armor guys are all over the place. And one of them wouldn't let us pass. Guess we should've paid a toll to that guy instead." Flame said deadpan and annoyed.

The fairy ended up floating close to both Flame and Spyro's faces. "Oh, but I'm sure a pair of big, strong dragons like you both can be able to fight those mean piles of scrap metal, right?"

"Umm…" Both Spyro and Flame blushed.

That was when she got close to their snouts and kissed them there. "You both can do it. Surly you'll both do it for me?" She asked.

Both Spyro and Flame felt their faces start to burn as well as their scales as they started to glow from the energy, powering them both up. "Sure! No problem" They chorused before they both charged back to where the armor minion was blocking their path, daring them to fight him. Which is a challenge they were willing to take.

Sparx was buzzing out warnings and signals to stop both Spyro and Flame as they both were ready to make the armor minion eat his words, if he made any. Before they then breathed their powered up fire at the armor minion, destroying the metal as it buckled from the intense heat.

Something that surprised Sparx at the sight of it, while both Spyro and Flame ended up smirking at their handiwork. "Oh by the way bro, there is magic in a fairy's kiss. Just thought I'd let you know." Flame said.

"That's good to know. Guess this might make up for getting conked by those guys, right?"

"Sorta." Flame said before they both pressed onwards to the castle.

*Time skip*

"Hold your horns, here comes Spyro!"

"And his bro, Flame!" They both called out after they freed Lutalo.

He is green scaled with purple feathered wings, he wore purple and gold trimmed armor on his head and shoulders, as well as a large tail spade, and he held a golden lamp.

Lutalo is like a genie dragon, only he isn't a slave to the lamp, nor does he grant any wishes. Instead, he does the job of the other Dream Weavers, as well as cast any spells that a genie would cast right out of the lamp. But he isn't a genie of legend like they heard about.

And they were able to free him after they entered the tower while taking out the armored guys along the way with the help of fairy kisses, and taking out the mushrooms for the butterflies to help heal Flame's dragonfly to blue.

"Patience little ones, you'll both soon have the opportunity to challenge the one that matters most, Gnasty gnorc." Lutalo said.

"And we'll both be quite ready to take him out!" Spyro said happily.

That had Lutalo smiling at them. "Nice to see your enthusiasm. By the way, let me tell you a secret. There's a golden dressed fairy princess in this tower in the other section of this tower. Try using the supercharge to reach that section from around the outside.

"Golden dressed fairy princess? Sounds good!" He said as he and Flame ran back to the supercharge path, before they then used it to charge through the halls of the room to the outside, where they jumped back to the area they went to before they got in the tower, and then used the slanted floor as a ramp to jump to the right of the tower.

It was at this point that both Spyro and Flame felt that they might've made a mistake. "Haahh! Oh crap."

"Oh crap is right! We might not make it!" Flame said as he too spread his wings to glide.

"I guess… it was nice knowing you bro!"

"Likewise. Mother." Flame said bracing himself for his doom as he glided with Spyro as they believed that they might suffer an endless drop.

Or at least they could've, if they didn't see some flat land on the side of the tower that they were now gliding to, and they felt that they're in reach. Which they were, as they were able to barely make it to the flat land and to safety.

Now they were both panting from the close call to regain their bearings. "Whew. Close one." Spyro said trying to catch his breath.

"You said it bro. Thank goodness this flat land was in reach." Flame said as he looked around catching his breath, seeing that there was a balcony entrance with a whirlwind by it. Knowing that they can use it to float to the balcony. "Now let's see if that'll lead us to that fairy princess."

"You've read my mind." Spyro said before they both got on the whirlwind to the doorway after they caught their breath. After entering the doorway, they immediately saw a crystal dragon, so they shattered it to release Copano.

Copano, is also a Dream Weaver as he also does the job on his people's memo, but he also has a side job as a herbalist for tea. Especially the Sleepy-time tea that he drinks which kept him awake for his job, as well as exitable. Not to say that he never sleeps.

"Great work Spyro and Flame, you both have become a master of the supercharge." He said congratulating them both for finding him.

"No problem. Now, where can we find the golden fairy in this part of the tower?" Spyro asked.

"Why she's merely in that room over there. But be warned, as there are armored enemies in there too." He then said.

"Thank you for the warning." Flame said deadpan as Spyro also got annoyed at how there's more of them to face. They hope the gold fairy would be worth it.

They entered the room that had armors strewn on the floor, ready to be built into minions by the wizards, or worn by the Dream Weavers that would fight. Which had them cringing at the sight of them as they knew they might need to dash past them to get to the top of the stairs and to the wizard that was building them up.

Which is what was happening now as the wizard at the top knew that the dragons were in the same room now. So he rose the armor minions up to guard himself and the fairy princess against the dragons. All while ignoring the cries of the fairy princess that begged him to let her out.

So both young dragons had to run fast to the wizard and to the princess.

Easier said than done though, as they had to contend with the armors bashing them with their helmets, and even the last one blocking their way to the wizard and the princess's room. And they both knew that no purple dressed fairy's kiss could last long enough for them to reach the room and torch the armored minions. So they were forced to race to the wizard a few times without success.

Eventually, they succeeded as they both made it to the wizard to torch him before he could block them from making it to him and the fairy princess, before they torched him in celebration after he realized he's screwed. They both had green dragonflies from the armored minions though, but they continued onwards and torched down the door to the room where the fairy princess wearing the golden dress is.

"Well done Spyro and Flame. You both have made it." The fairy princess said smiling sultrily at them. Then she got somber. "I'm so sorry that you both got hurt on the way here."

"It's alright. We rescued you from these guys, and we've collected the gems so that Gnasty won't make more minions out of them." Spyro said, not blaming the fairy for getting trapped.

"And we rescued the other fairies too. And they gave us a power up for our fire breaths to use against them, as well as possibly our electric and ice breaths, but we didn't test them out." Flame said.

The golden fairy smiled again. "That's great. I'm glad that you both got help. Now it's my turn." She said floating closer towards their snouts.

"Wait! Let me guess. A fairy's kiss?" Spyro said.

The golden fairy smiled sultrily at both of them. "You betcha. But I'm a special case. For I'm about to grant you both a power up to your fire, ice, and lightning breaths like the others did, but this time it will last permanently throughout your journey through the Haunted Tower."

That had both Spyro and Flame feeling ecstatic about their reward that they were about to receive from the golden dressed fairy. After what they went through, it seemed overdue for them. "THAT'S AWESOME!" They both chorused excited for the reward, while the princess covered her ears at the reaction. Much to their embarrassment. "Uh, oh, sorry." They both chorused again.

The fairy wasn't annoyed though. "It's okay, I sorta expected that." She said with a little giggle. "But there is a catch. My power of my kiss over your breaths will remain active, as long as you both remain in this world. So once you leave back to the Homeworld, my magic will wear off on your fire, ice, and lightning breaths. So make it count before you leave. Now, are you both ready?" She said the last part sultrily.

"Ready!" They both said, before the fairy princess then kissed them both on their snouts. Then they quickly felt power going through them both like from the other fairies, except this one had more power to it as they grunted at the power surge flowing though them as their scales glowed and had glowing patterns on them only they were brighter. Soon they stood with grins on their faces as they both looked over each other.

"Good luck you two." She said, before they both charged out and proceeded to breath their fire, ice, and lightning breaths at the armored minions, making them all fall in droves whether they melted from fire, got frozen in ice to where they broke like glass under the cold pressure and their horns, or their lightning bolt that zapped them so hard like a lightning bolt from a stormy cloud that they got blasted into pieces, as they got their revenge on the armored minions in the room for giving them both trouble.

And it was cathartic.

"Hey bro. You know what?" Flame asked.

"What?"

"I retract my curses on this world. It's hard, but the reward that we just got, is worth it." He said grinning.

"I know. I wish we could keep this power with us when we fight the boss."

"I wish that too." Flame said with a small laugh, feeling that his troubles with Spyro in the Haunted Towers was worth it.

---

They were now in the boss realm where Gnasty's final minion is, who was said to be Gnasty's craziest and creepiest creation among the Dream Weaver dragons, as well as why the realm they're in is nightmarish with the lava and the dark grey skies like there was smoke blotting the sun.

And why not, as the quartet immediately met with the beasts of the realm that looks ugly, being the nightmare beasts with armor, and the bigger beasts with pink dresses and held daisies in their hand, and the clock fools like back in the home world, which they charge down to make things happen that is beneficial to them, as well as the aforementioned nightmarish realm with the lava and dark grey skies like there was smoke blotting the sun.

And he goes by the name of Jacques.

The dragons first took out the nightmare beasts, as well as the fools to raise the platforms for them to glide from to the other floating islands that they collected the gems on, as well as rescued Unika the musician dragon that held a harp, and has a violin for a tail. Whom thanked them for releasing him, and wished them good luck on fighting the boss of the Dream Weavers world.

Once they made sure that they have all the gems, and after they freed Unika, they got to the cave where they climbed down the stairs to the cave path where they saw both the crystal dragon, and Jacques himself at the end of the cave path as he bounced with a slasher grin on his face.

First they shattered the crystal dragon, freeing Revilo the knitting dragon who was made out of yarn that he was knitting that was green in color with blue stripes and parts of his body.

Revilo is a right hand man of Lateef the leader, and he happened to be a knitter who made clothing for dragons, as well as stuffed animals for Ember when she was younger, which made him also a nanny for her too. Which is a job he was proud of since he was a good babysitter for Ember.

"Any advice before this battle?" Spyro asked, seeing Jacques at the end of the cave hall, and knowing that it's him they're gonna fight.

"Advice? Hmm… A wise dragon once told me, 'aim high in life but watch out for flying boxes.' That's the advice."

"Uh, huh?" Spyro said, feeling confused alongside his friends. Nevertheless, he and his friends proceeded to Jacques himself feeling that they'll figure it out by fighting him.

"Ah. So this is the four brave dragons, isn't it? I have to say, I EXPECTED BIGGER!" He shouted out excitedly, making the quartet flinch.

"Well, too bad. You've got us. And Gnasty's all ours once you're defeated." Spyro said, feeling a slight shiver up his spine at Jacques's looks.

"Which is what we're doing here. Defeating you, for trying to turn my home, into a nightmarish landscape, and to take out Gnasty for trapping our friends." Ember said.

"Take out Gnasty you say? Well good luck with that. Even though I'm his final minion, I feel that Gnasty has saved the best for last. Being me of course." Jacques said with a giggle. "So I hope that you'll get used to this nightmare realm that you all are in, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THIS PLACE ALIVE!" He shouted, before he jumped to another island floating over the lava, with the dragon quartet in hot pursuit.

"Come back you coward! Toasty put up more of a fight than you did!" Spyro said, chasing Jacques to a corner alongside his friends.

"Ooh, but Toasty merely had sheep dogs doing the work for him. As for me, I HAVE THIS!" Jacques said as he pulled a box out of his pocket before throwing it at Spyro, who was able to dodge it. Before he and his friends came to the realization of what Revilo means by flying boxes.

"Now I get it. Now it makes sense." Spyro said, charging at Jacques to torch him before he could use another box to throw, making him bounce to another island to gain some ground on him. So he and his friends tried to chase him down, only to hear a noise of pain from Ember, causing him to turn to see Ember as she had stars around her head, and seeing Starr turning blue.

"Something hit Ember from behind! What happened?" Flame asked.

"I think those boxes were heat seeking." Cynder said.

"That complicates things. Okay guys, let's try to avoid the flying boxes!" Spyro called out, before they nodded and joined in the chase for Jacques.

Which lasted for a minute as Jacques kept on bouncing to safety while throwing more boxes at the quartet. Which they were able to dodge along the way to Jacques, and they were able to land a hit on him as well. Although since the floating islands that Jacques kept bouncing to, was getting smaller and limited in space, and due to the heat seeking boxes, they all ended up getting hit every time they tried to dodge. Turning their dragonflies blue.

Soon though, they were able to corner Jacques on the floating island that was under the one with the return home podium, which left Jacques looking back at them in 'horror.' Especially since Spyro froze his spring to the floor.

"Okay Jacques, there's nowhere else to run… or bounce to!" Spyro said catching his breath from the chase while his friends also got ready to take down Jacques too.

Only for him to start to grin much to the quartet's confusion. Before they then felt the Island disappearing under them while Jacques remained on the platform he was on, leaving them falling to the lava below until they glided back to the beginning of their boss's section of the realm to save themselves. Then they saw that a large arena was floating on the lava that was to their left. Which they guessed is where they're about to fight Jacques on as they got on it.

"Oh yes! You've all triggered my trap. And now you're all where I want all of you to be. IN THE PLACE WHERE I CAN SHOW MY TRICKS!" He shouted before tossing a pair of boxes on the arena as they grew to huge sizes while they descended to where they took up a quarter of the room on the large square arena.

"Watch out guys! They might crush us!" Spyro yelled out, correctly guessing that Jacques plans to crush them under the boxes as they started to roll around on the arena after landing with a loud thud. Due to their cube shape though, they were pretty slow to crush the dragon quartet as they ran around on the arena dodging the crushing weight on the arena.

Which is much to Jacques's frustration as he should've put more speed to the boxes, and they were as fast enough as it is being massive on the arena. So he decided to shrink them down to where they were as big as a desk, and add 4 more boxes to the arena so they'll have less room, and to make the boxes bounce to up the chance of hitting the dragons. And worst of all, create the mini boxes that would explode on his command, though with a slight delay. (Which is about to bite him later.)

Which slightly worked, as they were able to crush Spyro at least once, as well as catch his friends in his booms, turning their dragonflies green,

But Spyro, had an idea. Which he was able to communicate to his friends of what he was planning. Which was continuing to dodge with him, so that Jacques will think that they're struggling to dodge, which will hopefully lower his guard out of cockiness.

So they continued to dodge, and made it look like they were getting tired to make Jacques think he's getting the upper hand. Which made him cockily ease the pressure a slight bit while boasting. "I knew that Gnasty has chosen right when he put his faith in me. BECAUSE YOU DRAGONS ARE GONNA DIE, AND BECOME MY- huh?" Jacques tried to say, only to see a bomb box coming his way, which blew up in his face and destroyed his platform.

What he didn't know, was that he dropped his bombs on the floor of the arena with a timer on them. Which he didn't think would be launched up in the air against him. But that was Spyro's idea to use one of them to launch up into the air with his newly discovered breath, which is earth breath that sends out shockwaves, with his friend's help as they too used their tails to knock the bomb in the air, then use the earth breath to launch it, while aiming at Jacques himself.

Now Jacques is falling into the lava with a scream, trying to catch anything to grab onto to save him. But to no avail as he landed with a splat in the lava, before sinking below the surface.

The dragons was celebrating their victory as they saw the boxes fade from their vision, believing that Jacques is gone now. Which leaves Gnasty himself as the only villain to face.

"Hahah! Did you see that? We just discovered a new breath! Look out Gnasty gnorc! We're coming for you!" Spyro called out to the sky happily.

"And we aren't giving you any mercy when we meet! Just you wait!" Flame said also happy.

"That's what you get for trying to destroy my home! Your last minion getting fried!" Ember said, hoping that Gnasty would hear all of them.

Cynder though, was looking around for any tricks that Jaqcues would leave for them, hoping that they aren't celebrating too soon after what happened with Metalhead.

Which is what Spyro was also doing when he noticed her doing that, as he too looked around for what could happen to them next. Soon he ended up seeing a rapidly descending object. "LOOK OUT!" He called out, making his friends look where he looked, then run away from where the object was going to land. Which was none other than a giant box that they were barely able to get out of the way of as it landed next to them with a loud thud, before breaking into a dozen pieces. Showing them that Jacques is not done yet.

And sure enough, he was able to crawl out of the lava onto the arena, hurt and burning, but still able to fight as he kept his wide grin on his face, and the bounce on his spring regardless of the burning marks on his skin which darkened his green face some, as well as the clothing that had some more tears on his shirt from the burns, while he also developed some skin peeling that seemed to show some red blood that was leaking on some of his face. Not to mention the boils that appeared on his face, and looked like they were gonna pop.

Hands down, the creepiest and possibly grossest sight they'll ever see out of a minion of Gnasty's.

"You four think you've beaten me? WELL I THINK NOT!" He continued to shout randomly. "Gnasty has made sure that I would be his best for last. And I intend to not fail him. So now it's time I stop messing around, after all, there's still more boxes where that came from." He said, summing another burning box only it was a large bomb. "Once this hits you all, you're all gonna be blown to smithereens, and possibly ashes, or even dragon parts! AND IT'S GONNA BE GLORIOUS!" He shouted with a giggle.

"Geez Jacques. Get some help!" Spyro said, exasperated with his insanity, regardless of how entertaining Jacques could be as a hammy stage villain back in the Artisans.

"HAHAHA! I feel that I should be telling you that instead. Because all of you are beneath me and Gnasty, and you all should be bowing to us! All four of you rotten dirty fire breathing iguanas cannot beat me since me and Gnasty are too strong that we're basically gods!" Jacques said a bit angrily.

"We will never kneel to you or Gnasty gnorc! You should be kneeling to us!" Cynder boasted. Impressing Spyro as he looked at her like he was nonverbally saying "Couldn't have said it better myself." which she noticed for a moment.

Jacques merely cackled again at her boast. "You think I would kneel to a dragon?" Jacques said, before he then sneered at them all with a rare furious look on his face. "Because your all gravely mistaken." He growled out before he surprised them with another move, where he had little bombs on his fingertips that was boxes which he thrown to the dragons in a underhand fashion as they were rolling fast to their feet. And before they could react, they all exploded like regular bomb boxes, causing their dragonflies to vanish.

"Oh and guess what." He said as he threw the bomb box at their charred forms as they looked on in horror, only for it to explode in confetti, showing that it's a fake bomb. "Those little bombs were my real surprise. WHAT A TWIST!" He shouted with a giggle, feeling proud of the fact that he just fooled the dragons into thinking it was his real attack as they stared in befuddlement. "And now with one more shot, you four are history! And I, Jacques will be the dawn of the new age of the gnorcs!" He said while bouncing around in the arena on his spring. "And I'll start by hanging what's left of you four on our banners, and marching you to the dragons, which will make them surrender out of despair to us, and become our slaves!" He gestured by holding an imaginary banner in a marching motion.

"Then the dragons shall be erased and the only masters of the six home worlds will be, JACQUES AND GNASTY GNORC!" Jacques called out to the heavens, with excitement as he walked closer towards the dragons.

Not knowing that he just lit the fuse on the ticking time bomb.

The thoughts of Jacques winning and killing all four of them ended up running through the quartet's heads. Which led to four emotions running through their heads. Which was shock, fear, determination, and rage. They were shocked that Jacques would go this far for Gnasty, scared of the possibility of the dragons being enslaved and wiped out by Jacques and Gnasty, which led to them getting enraged and determined to prevent that from happening. And that caused them to channel that emotion into their power, which led to their awakening of a new attack they were about to unleash.

Which began with them floating up a bit with their eyes closed. Before floating up together and glowing in the arena as the clouds full of lightning started to form in a tornado around Spyro and Cynder, while the lava rocks started to appear in the sky as they floated in the air while a ring wall of fire appeared around Flame and Ember, ready to be thrown down, while Jacques noticed what was happening in front of him as he looked on.

And he was showing another rare emotion on his face, being complete confusion, before turning into horror at what was about to happen.

"No. No! NO NO NO! GET AWAY!" He shouted in horror that time, as he threw some boxes at them, only for the boxes to be struck down by the flying lava rocks, or the lightning bolts. So he tried to book it.

But it was too little too late.

With a mighty boom like a thunderclap, the dragons unleashed their fury attack on Jacques as he felt himself getting both burned and electrocuted from not only the lava rocks and the lightning bolts, but also the shockwaves that the four dragons sent to Jacques which had him screaming in pain, as they obliterated him in one of the most shocking, and horrifying ways to die in all of dragon realm history. At least in the point of view of the gnorcs. While in the dragon's point of view, it was cathartic and amazing.

After the dust settled, there wasn't even a body of Jacques left in the arena. It was just soot, and purple gems where Jacques used to be.

Jacques was defeated.

The dragons had to catch their breath from the fury attack that they did after briefly passing out from the power of their attack that they used against Jacques. But nevertheless, they were happy that Jacques is gone now as the realm they were in started to repair itself and become daytime again, as they first had to catch their breath as they felt and saw their bodies having some remnants of electricity and fire on their scales like some sort of fading armor, and then celebrate their victory over Gnasty's final minion, which means Gnasty's all alone against them, and they know it.

And soon, so will Gnasty and his gnorcs minions.

---

Spyro and his friends, was now standing on the circular podium together, now healed with their dragonflies flying next to them, as they grinned at the crowd of dragons that was congratulating them for their victory over the last minion of Gnasty's.

Each of which was not only from the Dream Weavers, but also the Artisans, Peace Keepers, Magic Crafters, and even the Beast Makers that got out of their swamp to congratulate Spyro and his friends. While Lateef and some interviewing dragons was close by the quartet too. With Lateef nuzzling Ember for a job well done, alongside Ember's mother Lume. And she too is proud of Ember and her friends for their victory over Jacques.

"Spyro the dragon. You and your friends have officially rescued us from a dark fate, defeated Gnasty's minions, and reclaimed our treasure and the eggs from those thieves. How do you feel?"

"Excited of course! Because now Gnasty gnorc is left as the final obstacle in our path to become heroes of the dragon worlds!" Spyro said happily. "And I'm also happy to have saved you all, and I'm also relieved that you're all alright of course." He said, reassuring folks that he still cares for his friends.

"Thank you. Just one question though, how hard was your journey?"

"It was full of difficult moments, like in the Peace Keepers, one of the dragons was up high on a cliff, so it took some time for me to think about how to get to him, but I was able to free him. And Dr. Shemp was no pushover. Then in the Magic Crafters where we fought against the wizards, where they were more cunning and pretty intelligent compared to the gnorcs."

"Not to mention the metal spiders in High Caves." Flame interjected with a shiver.

"That too. Even though I wasn't there. And also, *Snicker* Blow hard was a challenge regardless of that silly name too. And don't get us started on the Beast Makers, and the gnorcs that kept on shocking us. As well as Metalhead." Spyro said shuddering as his friends cringed as well, still feeling a slight tingle when they think about their shocking moments. "And now here, is where we got to Haunted Towers where those armor guys were a huge pain. But the fairy kisses that powered our fire was worth it. Then we took out Jacques. Ooh! And check this out!" Spyro said before breathing out electricity, much to the surprise of the dragon crowd and Lume.

"Wow! He can do that?" Lume asked.

"Uh huh mommy, and so can we." She said, before she and her friends demonstrated their own ability to do that too, leaving the dragon crowd shocked again. Before Lume ended up hugging Ember again, expressing how proud she is of her for being strong enough to breathe another elemental breath.

"Not only that, but we can also do this." Spyro said, now breathing out his ice breath, then the earth breath, once again shocking the crowd. "Pretty cool huh?"

"And is that how you defeated the boss of this world? If not, then how did you defeat this final minion of Gnasty's?"

"Well, I don't think we can do that now, but when we were on the arena, and Jacques was boasting about what he'd do when he wins, we ended up getting angry, then we just… exploded I guess. We used our attacks where there was thunderclouds, and raining lava rocks, and we just obliterated him with our shockwaves of fire and lightning. I would be happy to demonstrate if we can do that though." Spyro said, talking about the elemental fury attacks they did on Jacques.

"You mean, you did the elemental fury attacks on that minion?!" The interviewer said shocked.

"Is that what it's called? And to answer your question, yes we did." Spyro said.

"If you can though, do you want to demonstrate?"

"Of course. So be it. Just give us a moment. Oh, and you might wanna stand back." He said, seeing if he can do it again. So he just tried to do the fury attacks alongside his friends to see if he can demonstrate it.

Much to even his own surprise, he was able to do it again as he sent out the fire fury alongside his friends, sending out lava rocks and a fire shockwave like last time against Jacques. Leaving the dragons speechless as they saw a pretty tired Spyro and his friends standing on the podium with the remnants of the fire on their scales, and soot marks and little wisps of fire left on the podium.

Once they got over their shock, they ended up cheering for Spyro and his friends, expressing that they defied their expectations when going against Gnasty and his forces. While a small group of dragons started to walk towards the podium.

Which speaking of whom, Gnasty was watching tv again expecting to see the news of Spyro's defeat, only to see Spyro as he stood victoriously and saying that he beaten Jacques. Now Gnasty was horrified of fighting him as he started to weep privately. Especially after the elemental fury attacks that they showed off.

"Now that we're all free, what do you plan to do next?"

"Why take down Gnasty of course, duh." Spyro said, responding like he heard a joke. "So if you're watching Gnasty, then say your prayers. Cause we're coming for you, in revenge for our dragon friends. And once we're done with you, your gnorc minions are gonna tell horror stories about us! That's right, we're becoming your booooogey man." He boasted again while drawing out the O sound on boogey man before making a small laugh. Leading Gnasty to turn off the tv to cradle himself nervously.

"Anything else?" Spyro asked.

"No need for more questions. You can go now." A new voice said, which belonged to Ignitus as he approached the podium alongside his fellow dragon guardians, as well as Nestor and his friends.

"Okay, there's nothing else to ask, thank you." The interviewer said, ending the interview with Spyro to make room for the dragons that joined Spyro on the podium.

"Pops?! Pops!" Spyro called before he ran to the arms of Nestor they hugged eachother while both Delbin and Flame also hugged as did Cynder and Cosmos. "Nice to meet you again pops! I'm glad you're alright." Spyro said happily.

"I'm glad you are too." Nestor said happily. "I'm also glad that your friends are fine too." He said as Titan also smiled at the scene.

Once the hugs were finished, the four dragons then noticed Ignitus and his fellow dragons. "Hello Spyro. I'm glad to meet you." Ignitus said, making a polite bow.

"Why thanks. Who's he pops?"

"Ignitus? Is that you? How did you get free?" Lateef said, surprised at Ignitus's presence as was Lume.

"Volteer was able to free me shortly afterwards when he rushed back to the Artisans after the four dragons missed me. Not that I would fault them for it, since I was in a hard to reach place that they couldn't find me in." Ignitus said to Lateef. "Now, about our negotiation?"

With a sigh, Nestor answered. "Spyro, Flame, Cynder and Ember, I would like for you all to meet Ignitus. And I believe you know his fellow members. Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador." He said, as the dragons introduced themselves.

"Hey yeah, I remember releasing you back in Dry Canyon." Spyro said pointing at Terrador.

"And I believe I freed you back in Dark hollow alongside Darius." Cynder said, pointing at Volteer.

"Nothing wrong visiting a friend from the Artisans." Volteer responded shrugging.

"And I believe you were in High caves in the spider caves?" Flame pointed to Cyril.

"Of course I was. And I have to say, thank you for destroying those metal spiders. They were scary business." Cyril said shuddering.

"Yeah, I know that feeling." Flame said also shuddering too.

"But why are they here?" Spyro asked. Before Nestor sighed again, feeling that it was gonna be a long talk.

*Time skip*

The dragons were now in Ignitus's castle in the Dream Weavers world, where the guardian dragons like Ignitus, Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador goes to for meetings, whether with each other, or with other dragons that they invite to that place. And they were currently having a conversation at the round table with the parents of the fourth dragon, being Ember. Whom was currently resting in a room alongside her friends. Even though she's overhearing their conversation alongside her friends since they're behind the door.

"So you're taking our daughter? And training her to be the chosen one?" Lateef asked in disbelief.

"Trust me old friend. I would not take your daughter. Rather than to give her and her friends a private school to help her train her new elemental breaths. As well in the dragon martial arts of 'dragon kata' while you and her friend's other guardians can still raise her." Ignitus said.

"But she's our daughter. And there are downsides to being a chosen one." Lateef said.

"That was my thought too Lateef." Nestor said to him. "I too thought about the downsides of that. And Ignitus told me that he was aware of them too."

"Then why? Why do you want our daughter to join?" Lateef said.

"Because it's like what I've said to them. What if 'he' comes back? What if there are other dangers that only the chosen one can defeat? Not counting our current one." He said, again referring to Gnasty. "Besides, her three friends could need her through thick and thin. And I'm sure it wasn't a pain to raise your daughter, was it?"

"Of… course not. It had its moments of difficulty, but nothing too hard." Lateef said, feeling that Ignitus has a point about why a chosen one should be made. "I just don't know if it's a good idea."

"I know dear friend, it could be a hard journey for a chosen one to go through that even I am hesitant in doing this." He said a bit sadly. "But it's for the better that we have the chosen ones ready for what's to come ahead of them. Especially while going up against either 'him', or the other dark villain, or the other dangers that could be dangerous for us." Ignitus said.

Lateef was in thought alongside Lume, thinking about the dangers of becoming the chosen one alongside her friends. While Lateef was hesitant, Lume was more supportive of Ember becoming chosen to help protect them from what the prophecy foretold of the dangers in the dragon worlds and the worlds beyond. Though she too is concerned for her daughter.

After all, if your own son/daughter was said to be a chosen one that would fight the dangerous evils, and go on dangerous journeys with her friends as well as going on quests, all of which has a possibility of ending in death, wouldn't you be hesitant too?

It took a little while, before Lateef ended up making a decision that made Ignitus softly smile.

*Time skip*

"Oh come on! You said I can take out Gnasty too!" Spyro said.

The reason why he complained was that he was gonna be left behind in Ignitus's place while Nestor and his fellow dragons are building up and joining an army that they were gonna make, to strike back at Gnasty gnorc, and hopefully take him down as revenge for trapping them in crystal. And they were not so willing to let Spyro and his friends join since it was gonna be a war zone in Gnasty's world. So they all agreed to let Spyro and his friends stay in Ignitus's place while they all fight Gnasty.

"I know Spyro. And you still can. After all, we aren't gonna kill him, but to merely imprison him for his spell casting. And should he escape, then I know who to send to take him out." Nestor said, putting on some armor alongside Titan, Delbin, and Cosmos.

"But why should we stay? We wanna go fight him too!" Flame said. While Cynder and Ember also begged.

"But you can't. The battle would be chaotic. And there is a chance that you and your friends could get hurt in the crossfire. Besides, Gnasty is stupid, but even he would know that once you and your friends fall, then so would we." Delbin said, finishing putting on his armor.

"And we refuse to let that happen. Not to you four. Trust us, it's for the better." Cosmos said.

"But… But…" Spyro said, trying to make a point.

"No buts." Nestor said firmly. Putting his figurative foot down. "Believe me Spyro. This is to prepare you for the dangers of the dragon worlds and the other worlds beyond ours. That's not to say we'll never let you fight Gnasty someday. Because someday, you shall." Nestor said, hugging Spyro again. "And I know that you'll make Gnasty look like a sheep with your new skills and power once you're done with him." Nestor humorously said.

The four dragons tried to come up with what to say to let them join. Only to come up with none. After all, they felt that they were right as it would be dangerous to run in the crossfire. And who knows what dirty tricks that Gnasty could pull on them in the chaos. As well as what other dirty tricks he could pull on their friends.

They ended up shedding some tears for a moment as they hugged their fathers, and in Ember's case, her parents. Both of whom were about to lead a regiment of the Dream Weaver dragons against Gnasty.

"Please, just don't die out there." Ember said.

"We won't. We promise we'll be back with Gnasty in chains. Just promise us that none of you won't be too much to handle for Ignitus and his fellow guardians. Especially while they teach you plenty of useful skills." Lume said, pointing towards Ignitus and his friends as they stood at the entrance of the castle. "Okay?"

"Okay. We promise." Spyro said.

After they said their goodbyes which lasted for a bit, with plenty of hugs and nuzzles, the dragons ended up flying away, wishing the four dragons, the guardians, and Ignitus good luck in their teachings before flying off into the sky, preparing for battle against Gnasty. While Ignitus walked toward Spyro and his friends.

"Don't worry Spyro. I can assure you that our teachings for you won't be too boring, or harsh. And I know that they'll be back someday." Ignitus said, putting a comforting hand on Spyro's back. As well as Cynder's.

"I know that too. I just hope they won't die out there." Spyro said softly. "I also hope that once they defeat Gnasty gnorc, they won't hog all the fun, and kill him. Isn't that our job?" Spyro humorously said, with his friends nodding in agreement.

"They won't die out there, I'm confident that they won't. And I know that they won't kill Gnasty either." Ignitus said. Then he got a bit somber. "Although I confess it. I have a feeling that it might not end well.

That startled Spyro and his friends. "Really?! How can you be so sure?"

"Being a Dream Weaver that can peek into the future does have its consequences." Ignitus said sadly as he walked back to his castle with his friends. "But let's worry about that later. Right now, it's time for your first day of school. In a figurative sense that is." He said smiling as he gestured for Spyro and his friends to come with him to the castle. Which they obeyed as they trotted behind Ignitus before entering his castle behind him.

---

And done.

Geez this was a long chapter. But I thought I'd expand the story a bit while crossing over the Spyro trilogies together. And for those who are wondering, yes. Ignitus was in the ending of the last chapter, looking through the vision pool to see Spyro and his friends leaving the Beast Makers homeworld.

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Laura Anderson of artstation for the idea of what Terrador would look like in Reignited. As well as Trix-master of deviantart for the idea of Volteer in the medieval highwayman's coat that I thought fits him well, as well as for Cyril's looks as a Magic Crafter with a winter coat. And finally, GroxIKavondarkside also of deviantart for the idea of Ignitus's looks. Though I'm sorry to him that he's a Dream Weaver in this instead of an Artisan. I thought that he would fit as either Magic Crafter or Dream weaver.

As for the dragoness in Lofty castle, I originally was gonna put Useni there. But eventually, I decided on a dragoness OC being Ember's mother Lume, for Lofty Castle. I just thought she'd fit there, since Lofty castle could be Ember's home too.

Finally one more thing.

I hope that you enjoyed the chapter,

please give constructive criticism, just don't be rude,

And do not forget to read and review,

and once again, I do not own spyro the dragon. It is owned by activision and toys for bob.
