In a dark room, located far away from the group's location right now, 2 tall dragonesses are seen talking to each other. The first one is a black dragoness, with a magenta colored underbelly, and a slim body. The second one is a pink dragoness, with a cream colored underbelly, and a purple hair, covering half of her face.

Suddenly, the door in front of them opens, revealing a small red dragon that looks similar to Spyro, or maybe they're on the same age too. He walks forward, smiling sinisterly, just as if he's expecting something good to happen. "I believe you called me, my ladies?"

"We did, Flame." The black one said to him. "And you know what that means."

"Of course! A new mission, right, lady Cynder?" He still maintains his sinister smile. "Give any missions to me, and I'll do it in no time!"

"Don't get too cocky!" The pink one shouts at him, but still, he doesn't look very surprised.

"Oh, I won't, lady Ember. It's just that, I know you 2 can't do a mission without my help, correct?" Hearing this, the 2 dragoness starts glaring at him, and he KNOWS what those eyes mean. It could only be 1 thing, which is anger. "Come on, I'm just joking, my ladies! No need to take it so seriously!" He grins widely, not showing any signs of fear.

"Ugh, fine... Back to the mission." Cynder blinks for a moment. "We want you to find and capture a purple dragon named Spyro. The last group of apes' reports said that he and his other friends are now outside the swamp, they have probably just left their home. Bring him to us. We want him to die in our hands."

"Just that? Just freaking that? This is gonna be easy."

Ember gets even more annoyed by this. "IF YOU SAY THAT IT'S EASY, THEN JUST GO, WON'T YOU?!" She shouts again. This time, everyone outside of the room can even feel her wrath.

"Sure I will." He walks away from the room slowly. 'See ya later, ladies."

...

"Better?" Cynder looks at her sister.

"Yeah... I don't really like him...'

"But he's a big help to us, so we should."

"I... Guess you're right..." She looks down. "Hey, Cynder... Have you ever felt curious of our real identity?"

"Real identity?"

"You know... Before we joined the Sorcerer's force."

"..."

"Nevermind... Sorry for asking..."

"And never come back!" Sparx shouts at the apes, who are now running away, severely injured from the fight.

"Woo hoo! You guys are the best!" The elf comes out of her hiding place behind the trees, feeling excited. She then hands over the necklace to Malefor. "I'm sorry for stealing this. I really am!"

"Good thing we got this back." The dragon then takes the necklace. "Apology accepted. It's very special to us. Our parents gave this as a memento."

The elf gasps. "Your parents gave this to you?! Why didn't you tell me last time?! Parents are the most important thing in life! I'm really REALLY sorry!" She then walks to Elora. "I'm sorry for threating you too, please forgive me!"

"Don't worry. There must be a very important reason that you want to rob us, so it's okay." She smiles warmly at her, making her feel relieved.

"By the way, you guys must be exhausted after that fight." She snaps her fingers. "Why don't you all come to my village and have a rest?" The elf then grins widely. "I'm Stealth Elf, nice to meetcha!"

"Sure, uh..." Spyro said to her. "Stealth Elf? Is that your real name?"

"Actually, no. It's my nickname. My true name is Sally Elf, but I hate it. It's too 'gurly' for me." She starts walking away from the group. "Follow me! We'll be there in no time!"

"Welcome to Dretharos village." They all arrive at the village, which is actually smallet than they expected. "My mother is the chief of this village, so we should report to her about you guys."

...

They are now in front of a small house. Stealth knocks on the wooden door before entering it. "Sally, you're back." An old female elf is seen sitting on a rocking chair, smiling at Stealth Elf.

Stealth approaches her slowly and kisses her cheek. "I told you, my name is Stealth, mom." She smiles warmly to her mother.

"Man, I hope I can still do that to mom..." Malefor thought to himself, remembering his dragonfly parents.

"And, who are these?" Stealth's mother points at the group.

"They're my new friends!" She said to her, excited. "Can I make give them some of our bread and milk?"

The chief looks down, feeling irritated. "Those damn apes..." She mumbles before looking back up to see the group. "Come in, you must be exhausted."

"Thanks, ma'am." Spyro smiles nervously.

Outside of the village, Flame is seen leading a group of apes, prepared to enter the village. "Alright, boys. You all wait here, I'LL check what's in store for us." He smiles mischievously as he enters the village, all by his own.

"Who the hell do he think HE is?!"

"We're more experienced than him, but he does THIS?!"

"When he's back, I'm gonna beat him up!"

The red dragon heard this, and starts to plan what to do inside.

"I can't just capture them like that... They're the victims here, I need to help them escape. Being evil wasn't my thing, anyway."

The door suddenly opens as a red young dragon comes inside. The group, confused by this, tilts their heads. "You all gotta get out of this village right now!"

Sparx crosses his arms. "Why should we, redhead?"

"There are apes outside! They're going to ambush this village!" He puts on his serious face to convince them.

"We don't even know who you are." Elora puts down the milk that she was drinking to the table. "Could you at least tell us your identity?"

"No can do." He approaches the chief. "The elves told me that you're the chief. Please, tell them all to run! If not, everyone's going to -" He stops his sentence after seeing Stealth Elf coming out from the kitchen. He rushes to her and holds her hand, posing like a man who is going to propose to her. "May I know your name, mademoiselle?"

"I, uh..." She stares at the dragon, confused. "Stealth... Stealth Elf... And you...?"

"The name's Flame. You need to run, mademoiselle. There are apes waiting outside your village." He said to her.

"Okay, okay. Playtime's over." Spyro walks to the chief. "We should do what he told us to do, ma'am. This village could be in big danger."

"I will only believe him if I see it for myself." The elf stands up, slowly exiting the house.

"What in the world?!" Malefor said to himself as they all look at the same view. There are many ape corpses, lying down ground, with bruises, scars, and burns on their body. "What the heck happened here?!"

"They're all..." Spyro stares at them, completely shocked. "Dead...?!"

...

"You all okay?" 2 dragons shows up from the trees, both larger than Spyro. One of them is red, while the other is light green.

"And I thought you guys were a big one..." Sparx said to the 2 purple dragons. "Goodness..."

"You're..." The red one makes a surprised look on his face. "It's you 2... Still alive...

"It's too late, though..." The light green one looks down. "It's all going to end..."

"Too late?! End?!" Spyro and Malefor runs to them.

"What do you mean?!" Malefor starts speaking. "Who are you 2?! And... What are you?!"

"What are WE?!" Spyro continues his sentence, his mind overflowing with unlimited questions.

"Both of you... Really don't know...?" The 2 dragons look at each other before looking back ay them.

"You 2 are a dragon." The light green one said to him. "We were... Supposed to protect you when you're just an egg..."

"All of them..." The red one said to the other. "We should've protected all of them..."

"There are... Others...?" Malefor shook his head, still confused. "You mean... There are others like us...?"

The light green one looks at Flame, who clearly drawn his attention. "You... You are... You too?!"

"What, what's wrong with me?!"
