It took three days for the Mew Mews to reach the place of Phoenix's challenge, which was an active volcano.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Ichigo as she and the others watched Phoenix climb toward the top.

"I'm sure, last time I was here, this spirit called out to me just like my phoenix one," said Phoenix without looking down. The spiritual phoenix then appeared beside him.

"You do realize what will happen if you do get a second spirit, right?" asked the phoenix.

"I know, but it's the only way," said Phoenix as he reached the top.

"Good luck," said the spirit a as he vanished back into Kasai.

"Hello, are you here?" asked Phoenix as he looked at the lava. All of a sudden a giant flow of lava rose out of the volcano. As it reseeded, the head of a red and black dragon appeared followed by the rest of its body.

"What do you want human?" asked the dragon.

"I want your power to help me and my friends save the earth," said Phoenix.

"You already have a monster spirit, if I was to join him," said the dragon.

"I know the passable outcome, my body could be destroyed from the inside out," said Phoenix without a sign of being scared on his face.

"But yet you still want my power," said the dragon.

"You called out to me the last time I was here, back then I was too scared to come here, but now I'll do whatever it takes to help my friends," said Phoenix.

"I wasn't the one that called out to you, but to see if you really are worthy, the test you will have to do is one that could destroy you just by doing it; you must walk into the lava," said the dragon.

"Alright then," said Phoenix as he headed to the lava.

"Wait, there is one more thing, you must find the dragon egg that speaks to you and bring it back," said the dragon.

"Got it," said Phoenix. He then entered the lava with no fear in his eyes or on his face. When the lava first toughed him, Phoenix was surprised that it was not hurting him at all.

"Alright, now that I know this doesn't hurt, it's time to find that egg," thought Phoenix to himself as he went deeper into the lava until it was over his head. All of a sudden he begun to hear a low humming sound coming from a distance and started to swim after it.

"That humming's getting louder," thought Phoenix to himself.

"Wait, it's coming from over here," thought Phoenix as he swam up to a gold egg stuck between some lava rocks. When he touched the egg he felt a shock go through him.

"I found you," thought Phoenix with a smile. When he came out of the lava, the dragon was surprised to see what egg had chosen him.

"Well, a golden dragon has chosen you, now that's an owner," said the dragon.

"I thought so, hey, I felt it move," said Phoenix. A tiny gold dragon suddenly emerged from the egg as it used its head to crack open the top of the egg.

"Take care of this young one," said the bigger dragon.

"I will," said Phoenix. The tiny dragon then started too fused with him. Meanwhile down with the other Mew Mews.

"I hope Phoenix is ok," said Mint.

"Are you actually worried for me, Mint?" asked Phoenix from the cliff side.

"Phoenix!" said everyone at once.

"Coming down," said Phoenix as he jumped from the cliff side and grew a pair of wings.

"You have a dragon spirit now?" asked Ichigo as he landed in front of them.

"Yep, and here he is," said Phoenix as the baby dragon appeared in his arms.

"Ahh," said all of the girls including Zakuro and Mint.

"Alright, back to sleep Goldy," said Phoenix. The tiny dragon then vanished back into him after letting out a tiny roar.

"So his name's Goldy?" asked Ichigo.

"Yep, now who's ready to go home?" asked Phoenix as he opened up the portal.

"We all are, but I just wonder how long we have been gone," asked Mint.

"Don't worry, days here equals a few hours on earth," said Phoenix.

"That's cool," said Pudding. They all then walked into the portal. Meanwhile in a shadowy castle in another dimension.

"Are Shadow Tor's preparations finest yet?" asked a shadowy figure.

"He is finished sure and waiting for your orders," said Shadow Drag as he knelt down to the figure.

"Then send him to earth, I have a feeling that the Mew Mews have a new power, and I want to test it," said the figure.

"Right away Lord Shadow Mintacor," said Shadow Drag as he got up and left.

"Just you wait, soon I will make this world for all animals, and those humans will know how it feels to be extinct," thought Shadow Drag to himself.
