Ollie: Okay then. Here's the summary. Darkela had gotten the necklace no thanks to twilight. Darkela made herself the size of a regular human, she made all the dragons as tiny as a fairy and all the fodder as vicious as a monster and as tall as a dragon. Blaze, Spyro, and Twilight was about to grab the crystal but Darkela grabbed them first. Now what's going to happen to them? Will they survive? Why is Darkela so mad at the dragons? And who is this Fluffy? What kind of animal is she? You'll find out in this chapter. Great. Now that that's over...

(Ollie gives a yawn)

Ollie: I have been up all night...couldn't sleep. Had a dream about KT coming back and getting even with me...Hmmmmm...Nah! It will never happen!

Chapter 7: Escaping a Watery Grave


"Blaze wake up!" a voice said.

Blaze was half-asleep and half-awake. He started to hear voices in his mind come and go.

"Blaze you have to wake up!" said another voice.

Blaze groaned, but still didn't wake up, "This is hopeless." The first voice said.

"Here, I now how to wake him up." Said the second voice.

'SLAP!'

Blaze felt something hit him across the face, and with that he sat up and opened his eyes, "Owww," Blaze moaned, he looked at his right and saw Twilight.

"Why did you hit me?"

"That was the only thing I can think of that'll wake you up!" Twilight said with a smile.

Blaze looked at his surroundings and saw that he was in a net bag that hung over a small lake in the bottom. Since it was dark Blaze didn't know what was inside of the water.

"How long have we've been asleep?" Blaze asked sitting up. Everyone shrugged.

"We don't know," Twilight answered "but it's been along time. It's dark outside and we came in the castle at 1:30 and you still can see the setting sun, so we've been probably out for 4 hours."

Spyro and Blaze both widen their eyes a that news. "4 hours!" they both said.

As Spyro was about to say something, he heard a groan, "Is that your stomach growling?" Spyro asked Blaze.

Blaze shook his head, "Is that you Twilight?"

She shook her head as well, "The only thing that I know that can make that sound is Fluffy." Twilight gasped, "Oh, no, we're in Fluffy's chambers!" she cried out.

Spyro and Blaze exchanged glances with Spyro, "Okay who's this Fluffy character?" Blaze asked.

Twilight pointed down into the water. The two dragons followed her finger and saw a huge creature swimming in the water. Since it was dark they had to strain their eyes to see what it was. Once their eyes got adjusted to the lack of light they saw that it was a huge-green-female alligator!

Blaze made a face, "That's Fluffy!" Blaze asked in surprise, "She looks more like Jaws to me."

"That's Darkela's pet, alligator. Roc is also her pet, but she doesn't like him as much as she does Fluffy. Roc doesn't have that mean-hearted spirit as Fluffy." Twilight explained

Spyro looked down at Fluffy who started to swim in circles under the net bag, "Some name to place on an Alligator. By the way, how did we get here?"

"Why, by me of course," A voice out of nowhere said.

Twilight, Blaze and Spyro all turned around. A torch lit up by itself and the entire group saw that the rope that was holding the net bag from falling into the jaws of Fluffy was attached to a small veranda. On the veranda was the biggest fairy Spyro and Blaze has ever seen.

"Who are you?" Spyro hissed with smoke puffing out of his nostrils. By the way the stranger looked, he knew she wasn't good news.

"Just think of me as your worst nightmare, dragon. Twilight, why don't you tell them who I am?" she asked with such a ease.

Twilight sighed, "Blaze, Spyro, this is Queen Darkela, the queen of all the Dark fairies."

Blaze gasped, "You told me you were an Ice Fairy!" Blaze said and Twilight frowned.

Darkela smiled, "Ha! And you actually believed her? You dragons are stupid, are you?"

"What do you want, Darkela?" Spyro spat.

Darkela gave a small sinister dry titter, "That's Queen Darkela to you! And what I want, is the world," Darkela's hand began to glow purple and a model of the world appeared in the middle of her hand. "I want to rule the world with no dragons on it! It's your kind that makes all the other creatures miserable. Besides, I owe it all to Twilight for helping me." Darkela gave an evil smile.

Twilight frowned, Blaze stood up, "She might have helped you, but she has a good heart!"

"No she doesn't, her heart is as black as mine."

"She never intended to hurt any of the dragons! You're the one who forced her into doing so!" Blaze yelled.

Darkela smiled, "You dragons are so gullible! This isn't the first time I attacked a world filled with dragons; this is actually the hundredth time! The last time I attacked was in Dragoon Island, with Twilight leading the army."

Blaze gasped, his jaw dropped and he looked at Twilight, "So the invasion that my parents were talking about, was you?" Twilight slowly nodded and a tear fell down from her eye. Blaze couldn't believe it, all this time he was hanging out with the fairy that murdered his people!

"Twilight, how…how could you?" Blaze said softly.

"It was my duty to kill every signal living thing on that island! I didn't intend to!" Twilight said with tears flooding her eyes

"Oh, but you did kill them," Darkela butted in, "It's a shame that I have to dispose of you as well, remember this?" Darkela snapped her fingers and the magic mirror appeared.

"Lets go back a few hours, shall we?" Darkela said. Twilight turned her head to the mirror and saw her flying in with Roc and saving Spyro and Blaze's lives and saying how they have to stop Darkela and stuff.

The mirror shut off and Darkela turned to Twilight, "How could you betray me, after I raised you like a child!" Darkela hissed.

Twilight scowled at her scornfully; "You should never kill the dragons! What have the dragons done to you that made you so bitter at them?" Twilight asked. She thought this was the perfect time to ask to buy more time for a plan to escape.

Darkela frowned at Twilight, "What has the dragons done to me? You don't know what the dragons done to me. A long time ago when I was little I used to live in another fairy realm with my mom, dad and older brother in a place that doesn't exists anymore because of the dragons! One night three dragons came and started to wreck our small house. We were no match for them, so my mother told me and my older brother, Derrick to flee for our lives. I took the only thing that was portable for me to carry a portrait of my family and me."

Blaze began to think. The portrait that he saw in the hall was actually Darkela and her family!

Darkela continued the story, "As my brother and I began to fly away from the house, I turned my head around and the last thing I saw were the three dragons slaughtering my parents. After that, I cried myself to sleep each night with the hatred of dragons enabled in my soul. As the years past, my hate for dragons grew and grew! I over threw the king and queen of the Dark Fairies and made myself queen. I tried to have my brother and me join forces to bring down the line of the dragons, but he didn't except so I killed him."

"But dragons aren't all bad!" Spyro said.

"Don't say that dragons aren't all bad! They killed my parents and now they don't deserve to live!" Darkela snapped her finger and a candle appeared under the rope that held the net bag from falling and began to slowly burn it.

Suddenly, an ice crystal came and froze the candle in ice stopping it from burning the rope. Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Roc to the rescue! Roc dives down and gave Darkela critical open wound on her shoulder by his sharp talons.

Darkela snarled, but didn't flinch, "You'll pay for that, ROC!" Darkela pointed her finger at the bird and shot a purple laser type thing at him.

Roc saw the beam and quickly dodged it. Twilight was at the edge of her seat as she watched the Roc dodged every signal shot. "Come on Roc, you can do it!"

Roc dives down again and gave Darkela another open wound. Darkela glared at Roc, "That's it, no more Miss. Nice fairy!" Darkela closed her eyes and began to levitate from the ground.

She began to chant something in a low voice then it became louder and louder then instantly she opened her eyes that was just purple light; her pupils were gone. She extended her arms and out from behind her came out purple lasers that was heading in every signal direction.

Roc tried to dodge it, but the number was just too great. One stray laser came and hit home. Since it did, Roc gave out a screech and he got vaporized. All that was left was a pile of feathers.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Twilight yelled extending her arms.

Darkela just killed her only friend. Twilight curled up in a ball and began to cry. Darkela softly landed on the ground and her eyes turned to its original state.

"I never did like that bird." She said.

Darkela looked back at the bag and saw Twilight weeping, "Pathetic," she said to herself.

Blaze looked at Darkela, he turned from shocked at the death of Roc to anger to bitter at Darkela, "You!" he hissed. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Blaze yelled.

Darkela raised an eyebrow at the pathetic little dragon, "Oh, but I just did. Look around you, you're in a net hanging over my prized possession, Fluffy. Your size is worthless and I'm the only huge thing around. If you add it all up, it looks that…you've just lost. Now if you excuse me, I have things to do, stuff to destroy, you know evil fairy stuff. Oh, before I almost forget," Darkela once again snapped her fingers and the candle lit up.

"Don't forget to write!" she sneered as she walked off.

Blaze began to get really angry, "This can't be happening! I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Blaze began to go ballistic, he began to flame the net, but it was dragon proof. He began to charge, flame do anything to get out, but he got tired out first.

Blaze slouched down and just sighed. He looked up and saw that the candle has successfully burned through the first layer of the rope, "This is hopeless. Let's face it, we've lost and she won." Spyro, who was trying to comfort Twilight with the loss of Roc, went over to him.

"Blaze, the all-time number one important rule in battling out your enemy, Never give up no mater what your size is, don't give in." Spyro said trying to comfort him and give him encouragement.

Blaze stared at Spyro, but he knew he was right, "You're right, there has to be a way!" Blaze said.

Suddenly they all heard Twilight mumbling something, "If I hadn't been so stupid, Roc would have been alive, we wouldn't be in this mess and Darkela wouldn't be reeking havoc. This is all my fault." Twilight said.

Blaze began to think and crawled over to her, "Twilight, I know you did some stupid things in the past, but you still have to believe in miracles."

Twilight looked at him, "How can you say that? I'm the one who murdered your people and you still believe in miracles?"

Blaze sighed, "I know you did a mistake in the past, and I still haven't gotten over it yet, but at least we can do is swing up an idea to help stop Darkela before any one else gets killed." Blaze said.

Twilight stopped and thought for a moment, "Say that again?"

"I said, we need to swing up an-" but Twilight didn't let him finish.

"THAT'S IT!" she shouted.

"That's it, what?" Blaze asked.

Twilight didn't answer and crawled to the edge of the net bag. She looked down and saw that land wasn't to far from where they were now.

"I have an idea, we can just swing the bag back and fourth then when the rope breaks we'll land safely on the patch of grass. Only that there's one problem," Twilight said in a thoughtful expression

"What, What?" Blaze and Spyro asked.

"We need to try to distract Fluffy. She can also walk up on land and just get rid of us right there. We need a distracter."

"Did someone say distracter?" Two voices said.

Twilight, Blaze and Spyro turned their heads and saw both Sparx and Smoky hovering beside the net bag.

"Sparx, Smoky!" Spyro and Blaze shouted.

"Are we glad to see you! How did you find us?" Blaze asked.

Sparx smiled, "We were all hiding in the bush like you said then we heard you, Twilight and Spyro scream. Me, Smoky and Roc quickly flew inside and we looked all over for you, it took us like about five hours to find you guys. We were with Roc until he some how vanished, where did he go anyway?"

Twilight frowned, "He's…gone." She softly said holding back a tear. Sparx and Smoky both gasped; they knew what she meant.

Finally, Twilight spoke up, "But now we have to stop Darkela before she kills the others that are living. We need both of you to distract Fluffy!" Twilight ordered.

Smoky smiled and puffed out his chest in pride, "Not to worry, I bet anything that's named Fluffy is no match for us! Uh…where's this Fluffy?" he asked.

Twilight pointed downwards. Smoky and Sparx both looked down and saw a huge female alligator just waiting for them to fall.

Smoky gulped, "That's F-Fluffy?"

"She looks more like Jaws!" Sparx said.

Suddenly Twilight, Spyro and Blaze felt a sinking feeling; they looked back at the rope and saw that the candle burned through the second layer of the rope.

"Hurry, try to distract them while we start to swing this baby onto land!" Twilight ordered

"See, I told you the swinging will come in handy some day!" Smoky said as he and Sparx flew towards Fluffy.

"Twilight," Blaze said, "Why don't we just blow out the fire?"

"It's not that easy, you need more then just wind to blow out this kind of candle. I should know; I majored in magic when I was in collage. You need something like Roc's ice breath, but since we don't have it, we just have to go with the flow and now swing!" Twilight instructed. Everyone began to swing back and forth on the net bag.

At the same time that Twilight and everyone was swinging the net bag back and forth, Sparx and Smoky was figuring out on what to do.

"Okay, here's what we'll do." Sparx said, "You'll lead Jaws to that coconut tree while I try to drop one of the coconuts on her head."

"Yeah, you do that while I…hey, why do I get to be the bait?" Smoky complained.

Sparx sighed, "You're the fastest flyer!"

Smoky smiled, "True."

"Okay, enough talking get out there!" Sparx said pushing him onto Fluffy's terrain.

Smoky saw as Fluffy was just looking up at the bag as it swung back and forth, "Uh…H-Hey y-you!" Smoky shouted pathetic-like.

Fluffy turned her attention to the dragonfly and began to swim in his direction. Smoky just stood still, paralyzed by fear as he saw the huge creature coming towards him. Sparx saw as Smoky wasn't moving, and the creature was getting closer.

"SMOKY, RUN!" he shouted.

Once Smoky's mind began to work he flew from his death zone right before Fluffy attacked. Smoky looked behind him and saw that Fluffy was still right behind him.

"WHAT DO I DO NOW?" Smoky shouted.

Sparx was trying to pick out the right coconut to do the job, "Try to get her under the tree!" he shouted back.

Smoky jerked right and flew under the coconut tree. Smoky watched as Fluffy started to inch closer and closer. Smoky's heart was pounding faster and faster and he was breathing deeper and deeper.

"Be quick about the coconut!" Smoky shouted.

Sparx finally found the perfect one, "Okay tell me when she's right under the coconut!" Sparx called out.

Smoky looked at Fluffy then at Sparx, "NOW!" He shouted.

Sparx shot a fireball at the coconut and the coconut dropped on Fluffy's head right before Smoky became Dragonfly Supreme. Smoky took a deep breath when he saw Fluffy go unconscious and Sparx flew right beside him.

"Next time, you'll be the bait!" Smoky said.

"Come on, Twilight probably needs some help." Smoky and Sparx flew up to the net bag. They saw that they had a perfect back and forth motion, just like a swing.

"Sparx… tell… us… if… the… candle… has… burned… the… final… layer... of… the… rope!" Spyro said, since he was swinging back and forth his voice was coming in and out.

Sparx went to the candle and saw the final layer being almost burned out.

"Almost, Spyro!" he called out.

Smoky went to the fire and saw it burning, "Uh, why not just smother it?" Smoky licked his fingers and touched the fire, but instead of extinguishing it, it just burned his finger.

"OWWWW!" Smoky yelled.

Sparx smiled, "This is magic fire, it can only be cut off by something really powerful." Sparx replied.

"Now you tell me." He said.

Sparx saw that there was only a couple of seconds before the rope burns off. Finally the rope broke and Spyro, Twilight and Blaze went swinging across to grass

'THUMP!'

Twilight, Blaze and Spyro hit the grass, "Owww, How sore can a dragon get?" Spyro complained.

Twilight saw that her plan really did work, "WE DID IT!" She yelled.

"Uh…we still have a problem, we still have to get out of this net bag." Blaze said.

Twilight frowned, "Well at least I didn't let you drown." Now they began to think of a way to open the bag into freedom.

While they did, Fluffy finally got out of her stage of unconsciousness. She looked to where the bag was hanging and saw that it was gone. She looked on the water and saw that it didn't fall in. Suddenly she saw the net bag on the patch of grass on her left. She gave a sinister grin and slowly swam towards them.

"What haven't we tried to get out of here?" Twilight said.

"Let see we tried flame breath from Sparx and Spyro and Blaze, charging, gnawing the net, and we've tried stretching the bag out until it breaks. The one thing that we haven't tried not trying to escape." Smoky said.

All of a sudden, out of the water came out Fluffy with a huge roar. Twilight saw that she was heading towards the bag that they were in. With her quick thinking she said, "EVERYONE GO TO THE CORNER!"

Briskly, Spyro and Blaze went as far as they can go in the bag and Fluffy bit the middle of it. She grabbed a hold of it and began to shake it until her teeth started to rip it. Once Twilight saw her chance of escape she took it and Spyro and Blaze followed. The three along with the dragonflies quickly ran for cover.

Twilight saw that Fluffy was to busy trying to get the bag open and wasn't paying any attention to them. Finally, they flew into the castle to see if the crystal was there and save the world before it's too late.

End of Chapter 7


Ollie: (yawns) I can't get back to sleep. KT really freaks me out sometimes! But she won't do anything to me! She's probably in France or something... So I shouldn't be afraid of anything that lizard with wings will do to me! I mean, what will she do? Throw smoke rings at me? She can't breathe fire! Has no horns and fly for that matter and she still has the nerve to call herself a dragon! HA! I'll believe that she'll ever fly when Pigs fly...never mind that statement...already been done...

(IN FRANCE...)


KT: COME ON ASHLEY!

Ashley: I...can't...keep up!

(KT and Ashley were both running after the mail person on the bike with our box in his carriage. We were tired and everything! Then we saw his stop at the airport and unload his packages onto a plane)

KT: Come on! Once he's gone we jump on the plane!

Ashley: Thank goodness!

(Soon he was done loading the packages on the plane and when he was gone we hopped on board in the nick of time to. Right after we got in the loading dock the plane took off and we were in the air!)

KT: UGH! Finally!

Ashley: I'm so happy! We finally made it! I can't walk any more!

KT: Don't worry we will get to the studio...soon...
