Okay, in the last chapter, Stealth's mother ended her training, letting her go to see the dragons with Elora. After following a group of apes, they arrive at Tall Plains, and met someone they didn't expect to meet...


"You're not an ape?!" Stealth shouts in surprise. In front if them was a female kangaroo with red hair wearing a black long - sleeved sweater.

"Shh!" The 3 of them hides behind the bushes again. "Believe me, mate. You DON'T want them to hear ya."

"We got weapons, though!"

"Yous dropped them, remember?" Hearing this, they facepalm. "Don't be such a drongo next time, would ya?"

"Yeah, sorry..." The faun apologized. "I'm Elora, and this is Stealth. Nice to meet you, uh..."

"Sheila Greenfield. Call me Sheila." She smiled at them. "It's been a long time since I've seen some friendly faces here, knowing that there are so many apes."

"I can tell how annoying it is surrounded by many monkeys like them." The elf said.

"Defo. Ya don't wanna know more about those mongrels when ya already know what they like." Sheila sighed. "Very disgusting..."

"So... Mrs. Shei-"

"Just call me Sheila, would ya? We're probably on the same age, anyway."

"Yeah, Sheila. Sorry about that." Elora said. "So, do you live here or something?"

"Yep. I once lived with the Atlawas, but since the ape came, they disappeared!"

"You mean... Just, poof, and they're gone?" Stealth asked.

"Yeah. Weird if ya ask me." She stood up, the other 2 following afterwards. "Go get those weapons. I'll be waiting in that cave there, then we'll chat again." The kangaroo left them.

The 2 then took their weapons and run to the cave. "Well, we're here. What do you wanna ask?"

"Oh, just one. Why are ya here?"

"Actually, we're supposed to meet up with our friends, until those apes came." The faun explained. "We thought that they could be planning something bad, so we decided to follow them."

"Hm... Okay." Sheila walked out of the cave for a moment before getting inside again. "Now that we know each other, we should probby stay here."

"Why, though?" Just after Stealth said that, it starts to rain outside. "Oh..."

"I don't get it... The weather was clear a minute ago." Elora shook her head.

"It's cuz of the water guardian, Lacus." She frowns. "That must be one of her cries for help. The apes must be drainin' her powers to free the Sorcerer."

"Then what are we waiting for?!" The elf stood up. "We gotta help her!"

"Stealth's right. We couldn't just stay here and do nothing!"

...

"COMING THROUGH!" Then, Elora got hit by someone. "Oof!"

"Ow!" The faun scratches her head. "What in the actua- Wait, SPYRO?!"

The purple dragon shook his head. "Elora?! What're you doing here?!"

"I was about to ask the same thing!"

Stealth gasps. "Wait... If Spyro's here, then that means..."

"MADEMOISELLE!"

"Oh no..." Flame entered the cave and hugs the elf. "Um... Nice to meet you again, Flame. Now, can you please get off me?"

Sparx and Malefor were the last to walk in. "Great. Our wings are wet..." He looks forward to see Elora. "Big sis Elora?"

"Oh, hey, Malefor." She smiled. "You must've missed the swamp foods my mom made."

"Of course! I can't live without them!" The 2 of them chuckles.

"Okay, it's good to see you 2 again, but who's that over there?" Spyro asked.

"Sheila. Sheila Greenfield." She approaches him. "It's quite rare to see 2 purple dragons these days. What's your name?"

"I'm Spyro, and the other one is Malefor. The red one is Flame, and the dragonfly is Sparx."

"Well, it's nice to meet ya, Spyro." She said to him. "Lemme guess, the 3 of ya are goin' to save Cyril and Lacus, ay?"

"Hey! Don't forget about me, lady!" The dragonfly said.

"Whoops! Sorry, Sparx. Forgot about ya."

"As long as you keep remembering me, no drama."

"So... What do we do now?" The elf asked while Flame stands next to her. "Fire won't work in rain."

"Oh, I just remembered about the new skill I learned from Argus!" Malefor quickly stops and calms his mind. Then, a big cloud appears above him. "This is called the Logic Cloud. It can help us take cover from the rain. The size depends on how calm the user's mind is."

"Good idea, Malefor!" Spyro took cover below the Logic Cloud, with the others following after. "Now, where do we go?"

"There's another cave out there that leads to the a deeper part of Tall Plains." Sheila said. "And it's easier than flyin' right now."

"Wait... Spyro, Malefor, you 2 can fly?!" Elora asked in surprise.

"Since day one of training." Spyro said.

"But they still need to learn." Sparx sighes. "Their landing sucks so bad."

"Sparx? Can you not mention that flying issue right now? I'm trying to be calm here."

"Oh, yeah, sorry, Malefor."

"We should get going." The purple dragon said.


"Sheila, catch!" Bentley throws the ball to Sheila, who catches it quickly.

"Gotcha!" She turns around and throws it at Byrd. "Use your helmet!"

"There!" The ball then hits Charles in the head.

"Ow!" The monkey stands up, preparing to throw the ball and smiles. "This is what happens when you mess with the great Agent 9!"

"Charles is in it again!" The yeti said as they all hide from him. "Get ready!"

"Here I come!" He walks back to the basket filled with many balls and rapidly throws them all at them.

The 4 kids laughed and continue playing joyfully until the evening. "Man, that was fun!" Charles said.

"It was only fun once you used your imaginary title, 'Agent 9'." The penguin teased him. "I still don't know how did you even come up with that one."

"What can I say? 9 is my favorite number!"

"Come here, all of ya!" They all gathered together. "Time for foodies!"

"I've been waiting patiently for this one!" Bentley sat down on the grass. "This is why I love picnics."

"It's all thanks to Sheila." Byrd said.

"What, me? No, it's nothin'!"

"Yeah! Sheila's always the one who manages to bring us all to come together!" The monkey cheered. "She's the best!"

"Aw, thanks, mate. But, really, all I did was suggesting a picnic!"

"And...?"

"Uh... Convincing all of you to come?"

"That's why we like you!" The yeti smiled. "You were always there to tighten our friendship."

"Heck, I can't wait for us all to be besties!"

"Charles, we are already best friends." The penguin said to him. "I just hope that this lasts even when we turn in to teenagers."

"Don't say that!" Sheila said to them. "Always think positive, mate! That's how I am able to gather all of ya here!"

"The power of positivity." Bentley said. "And it's all inside of Sheila."


"Sheila!"

"A, oh, what?" The kangaroo shook her head.

"We're inside the other cave, now." Spyro said to her.

"Oh, yeah, sorry, mate. Just remembered somethin' from my past." She clapped her hands. "Now, follow my lead."
