Gaul fell on the ground.

"You seven did a stupendous job. But… But… But…" Gaul said.

Then Gaul got back up and Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were shocked.

"But you haven't accomplished your mission yet!" Gaul said.

Then Gau attacked Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap with his staff, sending Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap in the air and then landing in the middle of the first half of the Throne Arena.

Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap stood up.

"Augh." Whirlwind said.

"Humph. So foolhardy. You dared to challenge me?! For all the effort in the world to change Whirlwind's fate…with your puny power, you have no chance of winning from the start!" Gaul said.

"Ugh. Gaul is truly tough." Whirlwind said.

"Don't give up! There's still a way out of this!" Spyro said.

"That's still easy for you to say, but you're right. But what can we do? We're in big trouble…" Whirlwind said.

"Let me think." Spyro said.

"Humph. You've done admirably well for those as pitiful as the seven of you, but it's all over now. And this time, I will kill you all, starting with you, Zap!" Gaul said.

Then Gaul attacked Zap with his staff but Ronald intervened and shielded Zap and then Ronald fell on the ground.

"So you shielded Zap, Ronald? That's taken a heavy toll on you!" Gaul said.

Then Ronald stood back up.

"Now, this time, I will kill you all, starting with you, Camo!" Gaul said.

Then Gaul attacked Camo with his staff but Ronald intervened and shielded Camo and then Ronald fell on the ground.

Then Ronald stood back up.

"And this time, I will kill you all, starting with you, Cynder!" Gaul said.

Then Gaul attacked Cynder but intervened and shielded Cynder which sent Ronald flying and hitting the wall and then landing on the ground.

"So you shielded Cynder, Ronald? That's taken a heavy toll on you! Your death will make you regret coming here!" Gaul said.

"Oh no! Not my handsome Ronald!" Cynder said.

Then Cynder flew to Ronald.

"Ronald, are you okay?" Cynder asked.

Ronald didn't respond.

"No, he can't be dead… No, he can't be dead… No, he is dead" Cynder said, sobbing.

"Cynder, feel his heart!" Whirlwind exclaimed.

Then Cynder put her right claw on Ronald and felt that his heart was still pumping.

"His heart is still pumping… I can feel it… this means, he isn't dead. He's still alive! My boyfriend is still alive!" Cynder said, sobbing with joy.

"You see, Cynder, Ronald isn't dead! He's still alive but just unconscious." Whirlwind said.

"Thanks, Whirlwind." Cynder said.

"You're welcome, Cynder." Whirlwind said.

Then Cynder stopped sobbing with joy.

Spyro, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were still frozen in shock. Ronald got unconscious because shielding his friends and girlfriend.

"Whoa! Ronald shielded Zap, Camo, and Sunburn and then shielded Cynder. Ronald is not just loyal to his girlfriend, Cynder, he is also loyal to his friends. This is another reason why Cynder loves Ronald because of his loyalty to his friends and to her." Spyro said.

Then Spyro became unfrozen from his shock.

"Is his loyalty another reason why you love Ronald, Cynder?" Spyro asked.

"Yes, his loyalty is another reason why I love Ronald, Spyro." Cynder answered.

"Ronald is nice, kind, gentle, brave, smart, and loyal, which are all the reasons why I love him." Cynder said.

"Then you have made a perfect choice for choosing him as your boyfriend, Cynder." Spyro said.

"Thanks, Spyro." Cynder said.

"You're welcome, Cynder." Spyro said.

"So, Ronald is unconscious. That should serve him well. Now, I will be able to kill all of you, especially Ronald with him unconscious." Gaul said.

Then Cynder turned around.

"Oh no! Gaul is going to kill my friends if I don't do something. I am going to do something. Ronald is not the only one who is loyal to his friends." Cynder said.

"This time, I will kill you all, starting with you, Zap!" Gaul said.

"Can I also check on Ronald?" Sunburn asked.

"Yes, you can." Whirlwind said.
