Before I begin this chapter, here's a brief Q and A.

Owyn Ross: I know. But don't worry, he's still able to come back to being a member of his tribe someday.

D.J. Scales: Like I said to Owyn, he can still earn his place back in the tribe someday. As for him coming to the dragon worlds, let's just say that he still has another home in Avalar, and that he'd come to the Worlds to visit them there.

Filler Chapter: Pyra's fight begins.

Back in the Dragon Worlds...

"I told you, I don't know where else we're putting those eggs! We were just putting them underground!" The Gnorc said, tied to a rock.

"And we told you, to tell us where this 'underground' is." Valkyra said with a quiet growl, while standing beside Luna, and Pyra.

All of whom were back in the Peace Keepers Home World, as they interrogated the Gnorc that Pyra caught with the egg, and beaten the Gnorc up for it back in the Cliff Town. The Gnorc, though initially dismissive, and cocky towards the timid Peace Keeper dragon, was now terrified of her as her presence alone was making him nervous.

All while Pyra was still glaring at the Gnorc while being kept to her spot by Luna, whom was also healing her cuts that she got during the battle against the Gnorc that she fought against when he got some hits on her. But her fury towards the Gnorc was too strong for her to feel the pain from it as she beat the holy Tartarus out of the Gnorc, before chasing him to the Home World when he tried to flee, with Valkyra, and Luna following close behind her to interrogate the Gnorc once she's done.

As well as to ensure that the Gnorc also doesn't succeed in fleeing from them too.

All while the Gnorc was cowardly running away, regardless of running with, or without the Egg in his possession. Which he dropped on the way there, but the egg was okay.

Sure Pyra had a tear in her eye from the pain she felt when the phase of combat faded from her mind, but she kept herself from crying out since she was trying to show how much tougher she was than last time, and to keep up her angry appearance towards the Gnorc, so that he would tell them what he was doing with the egg that he failed to steal from the Peace Keepers.

"I could tell you, but what's to stop the remnant from branding me a traitor, and killing me for blabbing? And what's to stop them from killing you guys too if you dare to fight back against them?" The Gnorc then said.

"Really? Then what's to stop us from saving them the trouble, only finishing you off more slowly by doing so?" Valkyra said, glaring at him while speaking softly.

Which brought a shiver up Pyra's spine. She knows not to mess with the older Peace Keeper dragons after all. Especially if it's the mate of General Titan's.

"And, we dare to fight them alright. And we dare to not only take them on, but to take them all down, for the eggs that this 'Gnasty's teeth' rebel group has taken. And making their deaths by Gnasty's hands, a slap on the wrist compared to what we're doing to them." Luna said, continuing her heal of Pyra's wounds. Which were merely minor, and nothing to be concerning. All while Pyra was feeling relief from the magic healing.

"Heh, good luck with that." The Gnorc said, tipping his hat to her for the boast. "All I know, is that they have a hidden room in the same Realm that we were robbed in, by those 'Four Loathsome Lizards'. Not even I know where it is, in that Realm." The Gnorc said, confident that they would have to look all over the place, in every Nook, and Cranny, to find the hidden door to their hideout. And he's hopeful that by the time they do, his fellow Gnorcs would be prepared.

The dragonesses had a strong feeling of which realm he was referring to when he said that it's the Realm where the Four Brave Dragons were sent there to collect Gnasty's Gems for themselves, as a reward for their bravery against Gnasty, and his forces.

"And what do you plan to do with those eggs?" Valkyra asked. As Pyra was ready to pounce again, and clobber the Gnorc again to make him tell them. Which did bring enough of a shiver up his spine to tell them what he knows.

"We were gonna send them to the high bidder that hired us to grab them. And before you ask, No! I don't know the name of that person that asked for us to give him/her the eggs that he/she desires so much." He then said, telling them that he doesn't even know who the figure was.

As dismayed as the dragonesses were, they felt that they have the info they need on where they could find the Gnorcs, then interrogate them on where they could find out who the figure was, behind this situation that they were going to fix. So they thanked him before…

letting him go.

"You can leave now. But you better not grab another egg, or she's going to clobber you much worse than last time." Valkyra said. Much to Pyra's shock as she ended up seeing the Gnorc running away from them as fast as he could, with a sprained leg that was partly broken by Pyra during their fight.

"W-With all due r-respect, Mrs. Valkyra, b-but are you crazy?! He might take another egg once he recovers! And while we aren't looking!" Pyra said, wondering if Valkyra isn't going nuts from her time frozen in the Crystal.

"But he has to go somewhere to recover. Which is why we're going to be tailing him to his hideout, or any other ones that he could go to. After all, he could know where that hidden place is in Gnasty's former Loot Realm that they could be hiding out inside. Or at least, the other Gnorcs that's in the other hideout that he is going to, could know as well." Luna said, quickly knowing what Valkyra could be planning.

"Indeed my companion. We must make sure to step with care as we trail him. We don't want him to bail too early before he can lead us to our goal, little does he know." She said.

Pyra was able to see what her plan was, before quickly agreeing to it. After all, she trusts her, like a child would, for his/her mother, as she proceeded to join them in trailing the Gnorc as he was now on his way to the Gnorc Gnexus, via the hot air balloon, where they would go to Gnasty's Loot Realm from.

Which should not be a hard task for them since the Gnorc shouldn't really look backwards while going towards his Home World while on the balloon, while they fly behind him. (With Pyra flying after Luna casted her flight spell on Pyra's wings to help her fly, like in the Flight Realms.)

*Time Skip*

The dragonesses were in the Gnorc Gnexus now, as they kept their eyes on the Gnorc that was on his way to the Realm where Gnasty's Loot was, prior to the Four Brave Dragon's time there.

All while they also noticed the changes to the Gnexus, where the dragon head forts were demolished, leaving only the Portals where they were, on podiums. Not only that, but there was more land space that was on there, to where it looked like a metallic island with only the portals on it. Along with a few more portals. Some of which, lead to different places, including Dragon Shores.

After all, their war against the Gnorcs of Gnasty's army was over. But their battle against the Gnorc Remnants was about to begin.

And it was going to decide whether they would save the eggs, and defeat the Gnorc remnants before they rebel, or end in disaster, and have their eggs lost to them, while even Pyra would be dying by their hands.

And that is something that they refuse to let happen, as they were now in the Twilight Harbor of Gnasty's, where they were suddenly unable to see the Gnorc.

All they saw, was the lack of a fortress of Gnasty's, off in the distance of the daylight illuminated Realm, as well as the lack of other forts that the Gnorcs used in their defense of Gnasty, and the lack of machinery of the Gnorcs that billowed out smoke into the sky, and created rivers, and pools of goop that they all could've fell in, and was probably hard to swim in without sinking, or getting exhausted.

Twilight Harbor, now that it was in the daylight, looked pretty. But it also brought out some bad memories out of the dragons. After all, it was where some of their soldiers died, as the Quartet mentioned to them, during their journey through it.

And speaking of the Quartet, Pyra cringed at the thought of how grueling their journey through Twilight Harbor was, since she was told about how much pain they suffered through this Realm due to the commandos, and the gunners, shooting them in the scales with their nailguns. And she was scared at how this could've been the realm that the Four Brave Dragons would die in, concerning them.

Which is why she was thankful that they were all still alive afterwards. And she was also hopeful that none of them would run into any gunner, and commando Gnorcs in this place like the Quartet did.

And she did hear about the Peace Keepers, and the Beast Makers, mentioning the casualties too. And she was also feeling scared, and angry at how this Harbor was gaining the little reputation as 'the place where dragons die.' Due to the Gnorc's defense compared to Gnorc Cove, (Not that they had a chance of winning.) and Gnasty's counterattack, resulting from his fake surrendering that ended up killing most of the dragons that fought here, while refreezing Cosmos, and his right hand dragon, as well as Bruno and his right hand dragons, and driving away the rest of the group.

So already, even though she wasn't there with them, this place was bringing out bad memories from her. And she hated to think about what the Quartet would think about this place now, if they were to return here. Especially if there would be more of those commandos, and gunners that are still around, and causing trouble for the dragons.

But now it was just her, as well as Valkyra, and Luna, that was with her in this Realm, as they searched for the Gnorc that they were following.

"Where'd he go?" Luna asked confused.

"I'm afraid I have no clue. It seems that he knows that we could be here too. And now he is either hiding, or planning out an ambush once we get deeper into this Realm." Valkyra said, feeling that they might've screwed up, and provoked the Gnorc into hiding.

Or maybe, he knew that he'd be tailed, and so he lead them here to not only throw them off, but to have an ambush party prepared for them all, once they arrive.

Which had Pyra feeling dismayed when she realized that at this rate, the base of operations that is hidden by the Gnorcs, is probably going to be next to impossible to find for them, since they lost their lead to those places.

"What're we going to do? There's no way that we could find them now, without getting captured!" Pyra said dismayed, and agitated as she looked around at a fast pace, trying to see where the Gnorc could be going.

Not knowing that Valkyra suddenly had an idea at what she just said, which Luna noticed. And after Valkyra hiddenly told her the plan, she ended up agreeing to the plan. Her only concern was how Pyra was going to react to it once she learns what they plan to do.

Which is why, they ended up preparing her for the plan that they plan to pull.

*Small Time Skip*

The dragonesses were all tied up in the room, which looked like the room that the late Gnasty Gnorc fought the Quartet in, with a horrified Pyra hopeful that she won't end up getting killed as a small regiment of Gnorcs in Gnasty's Loot Realm was outside the room that they were in, preparing to interrogate them, feeling that the dragonesses have no power here.

Considering that they were chained in what looked to be magic disabling chains that would work on a Magic Crafter, it seemed to them that they were indeed powerless to break out.

And it was because of a trap that the Gnorc had in place for them, being that he had them following him to the Twilight Harbor, where he then had them following him into one of the rooms of one of the buildings of Twilight Harbor, where once they were in the room, he had them surrounded by at least fifteen gunner Gnorcs in the room as they all had their rivet, and nail guns trained on them. With claims that they happen to be magical rivets that has fire, to help burn them, and wind nails to increase their piercing power against them.

It was a bluff though, and even the Gnorc himself was a little surprised that they actually fell for it when the dragonesses all surrendered, but the Gnorcs were overjoyed too, since they have their first prisoners to interrogate, and make an example of, if only to show the rest of the dragons that they are more of a threat than they realized. As well as showing them that they could be more dangerous than even Gnasty himself.

Which, even though that wasn't their intention, it would also be a plus in their eyes, since they could bring him back, (If they're able to, if they are able to use magic too, and if magic could be used that way too.) and show him how much they've grown stronger than last time, and of course, they'd become his most elite guards in the process as they conquer the rest of the Dragon Worlds together.

And that was something that Pyra was horrified about, as she hoped that she won't die the same way that her parents did. And by the hands of those Gnorc remnants no less.

While Valkyra, and Luna was putting their own life on their hopes that their plan will work. Which they were confident that they could.

"What'll we do?! What'll we do?! I don't wanna die!" Pyra said, trying not to panic, as per Valkyra's instructions.

"We won't die, little one. Just calm yourself. We'll make it out of this little room once they're done with their interrogations. And knowing their boastful nature, they should give us something that we may use to benefit our mission." Valkyra said, still confident that they can get out. "Now just remember what we told you, deep breaths whenever you're gonna panic." She said, reminding her of her lessons that she took from them, and from Ignitus, whenever she gets stressed.

She obeyed, taking those deep breaths that they said, would calm herself, and stop her from panicking. Even though she feels that she might, once the Gnorcs end up threatening her with turning her into Crystal, and actually plan to go through with it once they're done with her, or if she doesn't tell them. Not that she's going to tell them some info regardless of their threats, or torture.

All while Luna looked at Valkyra with the look that nonverbally said, "I hope you know what you're doing." to her.

Before Valkyra could respond though, the door opened, as one of the Gnorcs entered it, with at least four more Gnorcs behind his back. Before they then lined up single file behind the leading Gnorc, and to the right of the one wearing bandages.

"I'd say, look at what the cat dragged in, but then I'd remind ourselves that we're not cats, we're Gnorcs." He said.

Causing both dragonesses to roll their eyes at him, feeling that the joke was lame. And that it's only a figure of speech, that he missed the point of.

"But well done Gnit. You've proven yourself as having surprises up your sleeves. Regardless of being a nit." The leading Gnorc said to the Gnorc that had bandages on him.

Before the other Gnorcs proceeded to also give him their congrats for his survival, and for his leading them into the ambush that led to their capture by their hands.

Showing the dragonesses that it was the Gnorc that they were tailing to this place. And they were smiling on the inside at the fact that they were able to find him here.

"It was no problem, my comrades. I could've brought an egg to you guys, but I had a run in with that small one there." The Gnorc said to the leading one, gesturing to Pyra.

Whom was trying not to tremble hard enough, especially when the leading one was getting closer to her.

"This girl dragon gave you those band-aids? She doesn't look like much." The leading Gnorc said, scanning his eyes over her. Even grabbing and squishing her face a bit with his chubby fingers. Much to her uncomfortable nervousness.

Echoed by both Valkyra, and Luna. As they hoped they could stop the Gnorc from going through with… more than that, once they break out of the chains.

"But then again, neither did those four dragons. Especially compared to Gnasty's might, no less. And yet, look what happened to him." The leading Gnorc said, feeling that there could be something special to her too. Especially compared to the Four Brave Dragons.

"His demise was a tragedy. And the beginning of our dark age, that we've been brought to. May he rest peacefully." The other gnorc said.

"Indeed comrade Gnorm. And yours truly, fellow General of this remnant, Gnasir, shall hopefully lead us to our new age, by sending them to the rest of their kind, in pieces." The leading Gnorc, known as Gnasir, said.

Much to Pyra's horror, as she was hyperventilating, trying not to panic at that if it'd involve freezing them all again.

"But first, we must teach those dragons, what happens to those that disrespect our master's legacy. Even as he was slain by those four iguana's." Gnasir said.

"And that's what we'll do to you guys too, if you don't stop this Egg stealing business." Luna said.

The leading Gnorc was merely smirking at them in response. "And disappoint our employer? No thanks. She'd be unhappy about the news we'd give, if we obeyed you." Gnasir said, not knowing that at the least, he told them the gender of their 'employer' that hired them for the eggs.

Which narrows down the search of who 'she' is, if only a little bit.

"Which reminds us. Who is your employer?" Valkyra asked.

"As if we'd tell you guys. After all, we did insist among each other, and the employer that the dragons should not know where we are, if we are to survive, and thrive among each other, in the name of Gnasty Gnorc! Nobody deserves to know." The leading Gnorc said. "Besides, you've got it backwards. We're doing the interrogation here. You nit."

"But I thought that he's the Gnit." Luna said, gesturing to the bandaged Gnorc.

"No, you're the Nit, and he's Gnit!" The leading Gnorc said.

"But my name's not Gnit." Luna said, seemingly confused at that.

"You think I don't know that?!" The leading Gnorc asked angrily. "His name is Gnit! And you're a Nit! And a real one at that!"

"So you're saying that he's a real Nit among you?" Luna responded, much to Gnasir's frustration.

Which lead to an exchange between Gnasir, and Luna about the names.

All while Valkyra felt that she was merely making fun of the Gnorc, seeing if she'll frustrate him into screwing up somewhere. Like probably blabbing to them what their plan is.

Or saying something else that could benefit them in some way.

"OKAY! Just so we're clear, his name is Gnit! You're the Nit! Which is short for Nitwit! Are we now Crystal clear on that?!" Gnasir asked angrily.

"Indeed. But my name's not Krystal." Luna then said, trying not to smirk.

Gnasir was too angry enough to say something that all of the dragonesses could comprehend, as he just snarled around without any words being spoken. Or at least words that were in their language instead of what other language that the Gnorcs could speak.

Even Pyra was trying not to laugh at that. As she also was calming down from her fear of the Gnorcs due to that.

"Enough of this madness! Tell us, where are those four dragons?!" Gnasir asked angrily.

"If we knew where they were, we… wouldn't tell you." Luna then said.

"Stop those lies! They're among you, we just need to know where they are!"

"What she said is true. We don't know where they are. But I know that once they know of your movement, they'd put a stop to you too." Valkyra said.

The Gnorc in question had to think about that, considering that the dragonesses could be telling the truth. If so, then the four dragons are not around, so far at least.

Which, she realized that she might've let them know something that could mean trouble for them. But she felt that they can handle whatever this Gnorc uprising could throw at them, together. Especially if they have some reinforcements.

"If that's the case, then that's great news! With them out of the picture for now, our uprising would have not as stiff of resistance as I thought there'd be." Gnasir said, smiling. "Get ready comrades! once these dragon ladies are gone, we are to raid their eggs for our employer, then gain our reward, that could help us gain our revenge on the dragon worlds in Gnasty's name!"

The Gnorcs in the room cheered at the announcement, feeling that their road to revenge is open.

Not if the dragonesses have anything to say about it, as Pyra remembered their objective with the eggs, causing her to end up glaring at them, as she tried to struggle out of her chains, this time out of anger.

Only to stop once Valkyra glared at her, telling her that she'll be free soon.

"Now, say your prayers dragons, cause once we're done, the rest of you are gonna think twice before messing with us again." Gnasir said.

"We could, but the idea of doing that… You see, these chains are giving me a little cramp on my hands, so praying is going to be a little hard for us." Luna said, annoying Gnasir again. "Besides, what is your plan?"

"After all, we could die soon. So what's the harm in gloating to us of what you want with the eggs?" Valkyra then asked. Feeling that knowing the boastful nature of the Gnorcs, they would probably give them the info that way, while believing that nothing could go wrong after they learn about it.

Which, considering that he still had some smoldering frustration from Luna's mockery, and seemingly pretending to be stupid, (Which she was, as she was smart, despite her kooky traits.) he felt that it wouldn't hurt to say that, just to shove it to the dragonesses, on how much he outmatched them. As well as to show the remnant's power.

"You wanna know that badly? So be it then. We're taking those eggs to our employer. And before you ask, no! Even I don't know who she is! She was just a shadowy figure with a voice that sounded nasty. And Evil sounding." Gnasir said, telling them that he too is blank on who this female is.

Could she be Gnasty's secret wife? They don't know. Not even the Gnorcs.

"She met us in the darkness, and told us that if we want some power to destroy the rest of the dragons, we should give her the eggs. We wanted to see if she'd end up making us stronger than those Peace Keepers, or make us magical like those wizard dragons, or even give us our own pet dragons to ride on into battle, but she told us we'd get our reward on delivery." Gnasir then said.

"And you believed her?" Valkyra asked.

"We had no choice. We needed something that could help benefit us, and have us becoming strong enough to take out the dragons, as well as those four iguanas, once they come back from… wherever they are. I can picture it now, the Dragon Worlds are ours, and those 'Four Brave Dragons' come back to this world, only to see it overrun by us! And they too will lose to us, regardless of their efforts! I can almost smell that scent of victory, just thinking about it!" Gnasir said, grinning at them.

Pyra didn't want to think about it, as she had to resist struggling in her bonds again, as Valkyra told her to. She just hoped that she could find the strength to break out of those chains on her, or at least find another way to get out. Possibly using some sort of thin item that her tail touched, as a lock-

Wait a second.

"That is our plan. To take those eggs, give them to our employer, and in return, she would give us power. Whether to become stronger than you Peace Keeper types, or give us strong spells that would overwhelm the magical types, like this 'seemingly stupid' one here, or even give us some great weapons that can slay you all. Like maybe, our pet dragons to ride into battle!" Gnasir proudly said. "After that, we're going to destroy your people, in the name of Gnasty, and once those 'Four Brave Dragons come back from wherever they are, they're going to see that we've conquered the Worlds, and then, we shall overwhelm those Four Dragons despite their efforts! Then we'll create a new Empire, that boss Gnasty himself would be proud of, if he were here!"

"I suppose that I might've expected a plan like this." Valkyra said deadpan. Feeling that this could be their intention from the start, to avenge Gnasty.

The only question that remained in her mind, was who this 'employer' is.

"Well, here's what you might not expect. Your deaths. That way, we shall send you both back to your kind, as corpses, to make an example out of, so we may show the rest of you, that we're more dangerous than they let on. But the whelpling, we're letting live. Our employer may have plans for this little whelpling." Gnasir said, not looking at Pyra.

"Oh, how surprised, you're about to be, since she won't be going anywhere, but to your hidden camp as its conqueror, with us by her side." Valkyra responded, with a grin.

"And what makes you-"

*BOOM*

Gnasir felt himself getting knocked to the ground by what he feels like a battering ram, as Pyra charged into him, knocking him down with a bone crunching charge into him that left him incapacitated as Pyra was free from her chains, after lock picking her shackle with Luna's quill feather. And she was now fighting the Gnorcs that tried to interrogate them.

And she was able to knock at least three of them out in only a few strokes, by knocking the leading Gnorc down to the ground, while the Gnorc had little time to react to the charge, as she electrocuted the other Gnorc with her lightning punch from her own training in Dragon Kata, (Which she also got alongside her meditating, and therapy from Ignitus.) before donkey kicking the third one when he tried to strike back against her with his attempted tackling move.

All while showing off her skill, with her surprising strength that left the Gnorcs shocked at how strong she looked, as she proved to them that she shouldn't be trifled with, despite having been scared earlier, and despite looking as timid as a sheep. (If the sheep isn't named Toasty, that is.)

Which was the proof, that regardless, she is a Peace Keeper dragon as well. And she knows how to fight as one.

She knew that she could be overwhelmed by the Gnorcs if the rest of them were to enter the room, so she had the door barricaded with the other unconscious Gnorcs that she sent sliding into the door. Even though it could still be opened if the rest of the Gnorcs would enter it to assist the Gnorcs in the room.

Luckily for her though, Valkyra was able to break out of her chains after a moment of struggling. And she was fighting well with her bare hands, regardless of the lack of her axe that they were holding in the next room, along with Luna's staff. Now they were taking out more of the Gnorcs in the room, with none escaping from the room, not that they needed to, since the Gnorcs that was outside the room were now getting in to try to stabilize the situation for them. But Pyra's fury, along with Valkyra's strength, and fighting skill, they were unable to gain an edge.

Especially since they couldn't even use their weaponry against them due to Valkyra, and Pyra, being fast enough to dash to them, before they could even point their nailguns at them. And that was also due to the room being pretty small too.

Which Pyra took advantage of in her state, as she continued to charge the other Gnorc gunners with her horns. While also tail whipping the other ones, to disarm them as well. Also using it to help her jump over the Gnorcs that swung their fists at her. All while looking as fast as a cheetah, to where she was a blur at least in the eyes of the Gnorcs. Probably as fast as Ember, once she goes nuts in combat, as well.

And when Luna got out of her chains, and slung her magic at them when she regained her staff with her telekinesis, it was all over for them, as she brought in her magical support.

Like giving Pyra an enhancement spell that increased her strength for a limited time.

Now the Gnorcs were taken down, and despite running, the bandaged Gnorc known as Gnit, and the leading Gnorc known as Gnasir, was now being interrogated by the three dragonesses, with Pyra being his tormenter.

And they were now scared of them, as the dragonesses were now interrogating them for their answers. "Now, where are the rest of you hiding?" Valkyra said, getting her axe back, alongside Luna, getting her staff back too. (She loved that staff after all.)

"If I say anything, they'll cut us off! And probably kill us off too!" Gnasir said, as Gnit was nearby, also shivering in fear since he was also getting interrogated. And fear was the dragonesses tool that they were using.

"How funny. We were going to cut something off too." Pyra then said softly, while angrily glaring at them with a grin. Showing them that she was in her lagoon of rage, that they knew all too well, considering how many times they saw the other dragons in that state of rage during their battles alongside Gnasty, when he was still around. Not to mention how many times Gnasty himself has been in that state too.

And the fact that they were at her mercy, along with the rest of the dragonesses, made her posture, that much more terrifying to witness, especially if it was towards them.

"Okay! Just get to the room where the purple Gems used to be, along with Gnasty's painting, and pull one of the levers that looks like a pipe for the hidden door behind the painting to open! Just don't tell them we sent you!" Gnit said, much to Gnasir's chagrin.

"Oh don't worry, they won't know a dang thing." Valkyra said, while Luna wrote down a reminder on one of the papers she summoned, with her feather quill that Pyra used as a lock pick. Which she also intends to send as a message to some of the dragons that she feels can't be too busy with their search, to some and assist. "Try to do yourselves a favor, while in Tartarus, just remember that this could've been avoided, if you guys moved on."

"Oh, gloat all you want. The rest of us will take you dragons down when you get there. I swear it!" Gnasir said defiantly, uncaring that he was about to be doomed.

"Our power, as one dragon team, begs to differ." Valkyra then said smiling. Before patting Pyra on the back, nonverbally telling her that they're all hers.

Which is an opportunity that Pyra gladly took, as she proceeded to clobber, and obliterate both Gnorcs, along with the remaining ones in pretty horrible fashion, with her fire and electric breaths, while making both grown dragonesses proud.

While the rest of the Gnorcs, if they were there, would've been terrified to witness such a scene.

Later on, the Dragonesses were now out of the room, seeing that they were in the ending section of Twilight Harbor, that was not too far from the fortress of the late Gnasty.

"It shouldn't take too much to take down the remnant of those Gnorcs. But we need at least a few more dragons with us. Preferably those that aren't too busy looking around for the young dragons. And can fight good enough." Valkyra said.

"Which would be a pretty hard find. But I'm sure that Chief Bruno's mate might be able to help us too." Luna said.

"There could also be Todor that could be of good help with his archery." Valkyra said. "Once they're together with us, we shall assault their hidden room together."

"That way, we can stop their remnant's rebellion in its tracks before it could even begin. Just one question. Who's gonna lead the charge?" Luna asked.

Valkyra nonverbally responded by pointing at Pyra, whom was with them outside too. Which had both Luna, and Pyra surprised when she noticed who she was pointing at.

"Me?! But Valkie, what if I'm not ready for it yet?" Pyra asked nervously. While using her nickname for Valkyra, considering their friendship. "After all, I just got braver than last time."

"You can, Pyra. You can. You're also a special dragon among us, regardless of your timid traits. Especially with your multiple breaths ability." Valkyra calmly said to her. "And this is your chance to prove it to the rest of the Peace Keepers, that you are such a dragon among them. And I shall be with you, through it all." She then said.

"As will I, Pyra." Luna then said, after getting over her shock at Valkyra's choice. She did trust her with her opinions towards Pyra after all. She just hopes that she could be careful with that judgement call. "After all, this could be your chance to prove yourself to the Peace Keepers, as well as to the Four Brave Dragons themselves."

"B-But t-this should be your moment. Your moment of heroism that deserves to be told in the books, that the young Peace Keeper whelps would read. They'd hear much about you, and be inspired by you." Pyra said as they started to walk through the Twilight Harbor to the return home Vortex.

"What makes you say that?" Luna asked.

"Well… what if this deed we do, would someday be told in the books? What if the other dragons would ask, 'How about we hear about Valkyra, and her victory over the evil Gnorc remnant?' And I'd say, 'Yes, it's one of my favorite stories to tell.' they'd probably hear much about you, and Luna, fighting the Gnorcs together." Pyra said, imagining reading to them about her journey with Titan's mate, and top female dragon warrior. As well as Cosmos's mate, and another great wizard dragoness. Much to both dragonesses amusement.

"And I'd be their reader. I could imagine even my kids asking me, 'Valkyra, and Luna were great warrior dragonesses, weren't they, Mother?' 'Yes my little ones. One of the most famous of warrior, and wizardess dragonesses that I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot.' That's how I'd respond." Pyra then said, making Valkyra smile.

"But you left out one of the major characters. 'Pyra the Courageous.' I'm sure they'd want to hear about Pyra too. Cause I admit, I feel that we might not get this far without you. That's why you deserve the recognition too." Valkyra then said to her as they got to the return home Vortex.

Which had her blushing at that. "But Miss Valkie, you shouldn't joke around. I was serious that time."

"So was I, Pyra." Valkyra responded gently. "And I understand that you're being modest in doing so. But I feel that you deserve those stories to be told about you, as well. If not more. Which is why, you must shed away your shyness, just this once, and show the other Peace Keepers that you're braver than you were, prior to all this. Can you do this for me? Can you let this story be yours for once, if only to impress your peers, and the Four young dragon heroes?" Valkyra asked.

Pyra hesitated for a few moments, feeling touched at the support from Valkyra, and seeing that she could be correct. Maybe she truly deserves this credit. And she deserves this chance to prove herself to the rest of the dragons that she's better than they all think she is, by doing this. After all, she'd probably have plenty of friends from even her former resenting Peace Keeper dragons.

And gaining friendship with the Four Brave Dragons, certainly didn't hurt either.

So she ended up nodding in response, feeling that she can fight the Gnorcs too. And earn her place with the other warriors of the Peace Keepers, regardless of her timid nature, and her adoption by a Dream Weaver. Which is something that she admits, she dreamed of too.

Which had Valkyra smiling back at her for the response she gave. She already felt proud of her for her showing of bravery even before her acceptance of what she must do. And she feels, that she's gonna make her proud later on, once their battle begins.

Meanwhile… with the other dragons

A somber Lateef, and a sad Lume was looking around in the Beast Makers World alongside Terrador as they looked around for the Quartet. They had a feeling that the Quartet couldn't be here, but there was so far, no other place to look but this World.

It's too bad that their feeling was getting stronger, and more correct, as they were unable to find the Quartet. Not only that, but they heard the news that the Quartet wasn't in the Magic Crafter's World either. Which left the Dream Weavers, and the Gnorc World, as the last places to look, before going back to Dragon Shores to see where they could be.

And if they aren't there either, then it'd mean that indeed, as Cosmos has said, they are in a different World. But what that other World is, and what name it has, they didn't know.

All they knew, is that they needed to find the Quartet. And where they could be.

If only they knew how correct Cosmos was.

"*Sniff* EMBER! Come out, Ember!" Lume called out, trying not to cry, alongside Lateef.

But only the bubbles popping in the ooze pits, as well as the wind, was the only response that she got. Not to say that there were signs that they might've been trying to swim, only to sink, and drown, as the Beast Makers dove underwater to find them. There was even some that dove into the ooze pits in hopes that they didn't fall in. Luckily for them, the ooze pits had only the small creatures inside that isn't the Quartet.

But not even the water seems to have them inside, as they were getting closer to searching all of their swamp, and still, no sign of the Quartet was seen to them in the Beast Makers.

Which was much to Lume's, and Lateef's sad dismay as they were around the tree, up to the Tree Tops Portal, where they were met by Ignitus, and Volteer.

"Ignitus. Any news on their whereabouts in Tree Tops?" Lateef asked.

Ignitus shook his head in response. "None whatsoever. I'm afraid they aren't even in the Tree Tops. Which isn't a surprise, considering their mood towards the Realm." Ignitus somberly said.

Whatever hopes that the Quartet, particularly Ember, would be found in the Tree Tops, died at the news, as Lume did her best not to cry out in sadness at her missing daughter.

"That isn't good news. Where's Pyra though?" Lateef asked, noticing that Pyra isn't with Ignitus.

"She's in the Peace Keepers, to look there for them. And to mourn her birth parents. But I'm not too worried, since I'm certain that Titan's mate, as well as Cosmos's, is watching over her. I have confidence that they would do well in guarding her. I just have hopes that she'll be alright there." Ignitus said.

"Why is that?" He asked.

"I have heard some rumors that a remnant of the Gnorc minions, that are still loyal to Gnasty Gnorc, is stealing some eggs. For what purpose, I don't know. But hopefully those rumors aren't true. And there is no Gnorc that is still among us, that is still loyal to Gnasty. Since we would've known by now." Ignitus responded. "But it isn't important to find out if they're true. We still need to see where the young dragons are. And hopefully, if they are indeed in a different World, and that they are still alright, and safe." Ignitus said, determined.

As was Lateef, and Lume, as they would never give up in searching for their daughter, if her life could be at stake. So with determination in their gazes, they continued their search, in hopes that the search party may have their clues at the very least, in at least a few minutes.

Only time, has an answer for them, and will tell, if they'll find the Four Brave Dragons, and the World of Avalar.

And done.

Here's another filler chapter for this fic, that mainly focuses on Pyra, and her fight against the Gnorcs, alongside my other dragoness oc's, being Valkyra, and Pyra. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.

And I originally was going to have this chapter done with Scorch as well, and have the Quartet's journey through Scorch ending this chapter, but I decided to go with this filler chapter to keep the pace even, and to add a bit more story to this sub plot, as well as give a bit more character to Pyra, and her growth into another hero alongside the Quartet, and Titan, and Cosmos's mates.

That, and I decided to go with the pairing of Scorch, with Shady Oasis in this fic too, like they were going to be, according to the prototype of the Spyro 2 game that I watched on Youtube too. Go check that video out if you readers haven't already. And shout out to Hwd405 for the videos.

Finally, one more thing.

I hope that you enjoyed the chapter,

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

do not forget to read and review,

hope you all stay safe,

and once again, I do not own Spyro the Dragon. Spyro the dragon is created by Insomniac Games, and is currently owned by Activision, and Toys for Bob. Please support the official releases.
