Chapter 10: Hunting Dragon Eggs
At the darkest room, Nex is looking at the crystal ball again and Zervik is with him again and the Sinister Sisters inform Zervik of their failure to kill Ky.
"So, Ky and his new friends defeated you three?" Zervik asked.
"How pathetic. You three can't even kill a fly." Nex said.
"Yes. Please forgive us, Lord Zervik. This Ky kid is as strong as we thought." Shimo said.
"Very well then. Grim Reaper failed to destroy him too." Zervik said and Tortus arrives.
"I'm sorry for leaving without orders, Lord Zervik." Tortus said.
"At least you realize that Ky can be a threat, but I still must know how much of a threat he is. You did good, Tortus, but next time, leave under my orders." Zervik said.
"Of course." Tortus said.
"I'm going to continue finding more pieces of the Dark Gem. They may be hidden in different worlds, but they will be discovered." Nex said, as he leaves the room.
"You do that, Nex. You three best rest up after your fight with the boy." Zervik said.
"Yes, my lord." Shimo said, as she, Tensia, and Homina vanish out of the room.
Meanwhile, after Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow leave the Land of Ninja are now back in the space area.
"Time to visit a new world." Ky said.
"But which world are we going to next?" Max asked.
The group search around to see what world to go to next.
"I suggest we go to this one." Blaze suggested, pointing at another world with a plain, a garden, a lake, and a mountain with a palace.
"That sounds good. Let's go." Ky said, as he points his Keyblade at the selected world, shoots the beam of light, creates another portal, and the group go for the portal to the next world.
The portal appears in what looks like a grassy plain and Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow fly out of the portal before it disappears and as they arrive, Ky and Elena have changed forms.
Ky is now a white dragon with blue horns, blue wings, blue spikes on his back, a blue belly, and is still wearing his gold and crystal key necklace.
Elena is now a pink dragon with violet horns, violet wings, violet spikes on her back, a violet belly, and is still wearing her ruby amulet.
"Hey! We're dragons!" Ky said.
"But why is it that we transformed and you four didn't?" Elena asked Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow.
"Gee, I honestly don't know." Max answered unsure, scratching his head.
"I guess the portal must have had a magical effect on you two while we were coming to this world, but nothing happened to us so we didn't transform." Tails suggested.
"But WE transformed." Ky said.
"Yeah. We can see that." Shadow said.
"Let's have a look around here. There might be Heartless and Black Xetis around here." Blaze said.
"Good idea." Ky said.

(Sunrise Spring)
The group start to move, but Ky and Elena are having trouble moving.
"What is it?" Shadow asked.
"This is harder on four legs." Ky answered.
"We're never gonna get used to this." Elena said.
"You two might as well start practicing." Blaze said.
"I know a trick to it. Here, I'll show you guys." Max said, showing Ky and Elena how to move on four legs and the two are starting to get the hang of this.
"This is much better. Thanks, Max. Now we can get moving." Ky said.
"That's great." Tails said.
The group start to move around the grassy plain, but as they keep moving, the group see what looks like a rainbow coming down to where they're walking, much to the group's confusion.
"Why is a rainbow coming down at us?" Elena asked.
"Look." Ky said, pointing at the rainbow, revealing a figure wearing a purple hooded cloak.
"Heartless?" Max suggested.
"Or maybe a Black Xeti?" Shadow asked.
"I dunno. The cloak may by purple, but I don't think we're gonna get a welcome here." Ky said, as the figure walks over to the group.
"Don't tell me you two are also in charge of rescuing the eggs." The figure said and it's a female voice. "This is just pathetic. Look, you two, as I have already told that purple dragon, if you know what's good for you two, you and your friends better crawl back to whatever hole you came through. The eggs belong to us now and you'll never be able to find them. If you do happen to find an egg, then our expertly trained armies will dispose of you and take them back." The female figure said, confusing the group.
"What eggs?" Max asked.
"And what kind of threat are you making?" Ky asked.
"I'm talking about the dragon eggs the Rhynocs stole and I'm warning you all that this place is not safe for small dragons, dogs, foxes, cats, and hedgehogs." The female figure said.
"We can look after ourselves." Ky said.
"Whatever. If I find you here again, I'm going to be VERY angry and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." The female figure said, as she disappears by a rainbow.
"Who was that?" Tails asked.
"I don't even know. I suppose we can try and find those eggs she said since they're stolen." Elena said.
"Good idea. Let's go." Ky said.
The group continue on through the plain, but as they keep going, Tails sees something on a rock and it looks like an egg, so he runs to it and the others follow him.
"This must be one of the dragon eggs that figure said." Tails said.
"We should take it and bring it to whoever this egg belongs to." Max suggested, as he walks to the egg, but just then, Heartless that look like rhino creatures appear.
"Hmph. More Heartless scum." Shadow said.
"We know the drill." Ky said, summoning his Keyblade.
"I agree." Elena said, taking out her staff.
(Battle Theme: A Hero's Tail)
The Heartless attack the group, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Thunder while Elena casts Blizzard while Max uses Cyclone, but the Heartless charge at the group with their horns. Tails throws bombs while Blaze attacks with her claws followed by a spin flame attack followed by a flame kick while Shadow uses Chaos Arrows, but the Heartless keep fighting back. Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by a fire breath attack while Elena uses Magic Bombs while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Tails tail swipes while Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Shadow multi punches and then flip kicks and the group defeat the Heartless and Max takes the egg.
"Who does this egg belong to anyway?" Blaze asked.
"We'd better find its owner. C'mon." Ky said and the group continue to explore the plain, but then the purple cloaked figure from before appears.
"What do you want now?" Elena asked.
"I warned you already. This place is not safe for small dragons, dogs, foxes, cats, and hedgehogs." The purple cloaked figure said.
"And WE told you this already, we can look after ourselves." Shadow replied.
"Try looking after THIS." The purple cloaked figure replied back, as she throws a powerful blast at the group, but Ky deflects it with his Keyblade back at her.
"I'd suggest you go back to witch school. You don't have a chance against us." Ky said.
"Ha! You won't be so lucky next time!" The purple cloak figure said, as she disappears.
"Already, she's getting on my nerves." Elena said.
"Let's get back to finding the owner." Max said.
The group keep moving through the plains searching for an owner of the egg they found while also looking out for Heartless or Black Xetis, but as they keep exploring, they arrive at a forest and there, they see four creatures.
One is a purple dragon with yellow horns, yellow wings, yellow spikes on his back, and a yellow belly.
The other creature is a small yellow dragonfly.
The third creature is a cheetah.
The fourth and last creature is a kangaroo.
The four creatures find another egg that's similar to the egg the group just found.
"Hey look! We found another egg!" The purple dragon said.
"Score! That's probably the last egg here." The cheetah said.
"I reckon there are other eggs in Midday Gardens." The kangaroo said and the group arrives.
"Hey! Those two are dragons too!" The purple dragon said.
"I'm Ky and these are Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow." Ky introduced himself and the group.
"Does this egg belong to you guys?" Max asked, showing them the egg.
"Yeah! That's one of the eggs we're looking for! Thanks!" The purple dragon said.
"No problem." Tails said.
"Are there other eggs all over?" Blaze asked.
"I'm sure there are. Those eggs were stolen by the Sorceress and I've been sent to find and bring them back." The purple dragon said.
"And we're helpin'." The kangaroo added.
"Is it okay if we help?" Elena asked.
"Sure. We need all the help we can get." The purple dragon said. "I'm Spyro by the way and this is my companion, Sparx." Spyro introduced himself and Sparx.
"Name's Hunter." Hunter introduced.
"My name's Shelia." Shelia introduced.
"Okay then. Let's start searching for eggs." Ky said and they move through the forest.
Meanwhile, in a room that looks like a throne room, the female blue reptile from before is sitting on a throne while the purple cloaked female figure is in the room as well, kneeling in front of her and the turtle creature from before is at the blue reptile's side.
"Listen carefully, you stupid girl! Why haven't you disposed of that infernal dragon?!" The female blue reptile demanded.
"I tried to scare him off, Your Highness, but he's just not afraid of anything. There are two more dragons I explained, but they're probably still looking for eggs." The purple cloaked figure answered.
"Honestly! Why have I been training you all these years?! USE SOME MAGIC!" The female blue reptile ordered.
"Forget this. I'll just send a Black Xeti to destroy them. I don't want either of you to trouble yourselves. I'll destroy those punks and the eggs back in no time." The turtle creature said.
"These eggs can't be this much trouble." The female purple cloaked figure said.
Meanwhile, the group continue on through the forest until they reach the end and they stumble upon a different area.
"This is it. Midday Gardens." Shelia said.
"Let's start looking for eggs." Spyro said.
"Okay. Let's go." Ky said, as he enters Midday Gardens and the others follow him.
(Midday Gardens)
The group arrive at Midday Gardens and they begin searching for eggs, but as they start searching, Heartless appear and attack, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Spyro breathes fire, defeating the Heartless and they continue on, but as they continue, Max notices something.
"What's going on over there?" Max asked and everyone turns to see what Max is looking at.
"Let's go see." Ky said.
The group go to what Max sees and as they arrive, they see a penguin wearing a soldier helmet and a jetpack with rocket launchers on his back in a cage and standing next to the cage is a brown bear wearing a suit, a monocle, and carrying a bag.
"Why is a penguin in a cage?" Tails asked.
"Because this naughty bird was setting off rockets in the poor Sorceress' lair and I'm being paid a fortune of keeping him locked up." The bear answered.
"Let him go, Moneybags!" Spyro demanded.
"Ah, my good friend, Spyro. I wish I could release him, but there is a small fee." Moneybags said.
"How much?" Max asked.
"700 gems." Moneybags answered.
"Fine." Spyro said giving Moneybags 700 gems.
"Heh, heh. What a sucker...oh, I mean, it's a far, far better thing you do today, Spyro than you have ever done and well...so forth, ect., you get the idea." Moneybags said.
"You're an idiot." Elena said, as Moneybags releases the penguin from the cage and he flies to the group.
"Thank you for releasing me. I am Sgt. Byrd and I'm awaiting orders now." Sgt. Byrd said.
"Uh, we're not really your commanding officers." Tails said.
"Thank goodness you're alright, Sgt Byrd." Shelia said.
"Hey, what're those things?" Ky asked.
"These are the state of the art rocket launchers." Sgt. Byrd answered.
"And you didn't bother using them to escape because...?" Shadow asked.
"Because I have limited ammunition and I want to conserve them...for THIS!" Sgt. Byrd said, as he turns to Moneybags and shoots rockets at Moneybags, sending him away.
"Nice." Spyro said.
"Say, where did you three come from? I thought dragons only did for a thousand years or something." Sgt. Byrd said.
"What do you mean?" Ky asked.
"Oh, that's right. I forgot to mention that dragons used to rule this world a thousand years ago, but then all of the sudden they left." Shelia said.
"Dragons used to live in this world?" Blaze asked.
"Yes and when the dragons left this world, all the magic left with them." Shelia explained.
"There was magic here?" Elena asked.
"Yeah. While the dragons lived here, the magic was all around this world, but now it's all dried up ever since the dragons left." Shelia said.
"That's terrible." Max said.
"Indeed." Sgt Byrd said.
"Well, the rumors of our extinction is slightly exaggerated. The dragons and I are living in the other side of the world." Spyro said.
"I'm guessing that's where the eggs were stolen from?" Ky asked.
"Yep." Spyro answered.
"Well, if you need assistance, I'll be more than happy to help you." Sgt Byrd said.
"Thanks." Tails said.
"Let's keep looking for eggs." Blaze said.
The group start searching Midday Gardens for eggs and Sgt. Byrd spots an egg on a hill, so he uses his jetpack to fly up and takes the egg while Tails spots another egg in a cave and he takes the egg and the group continue to search Midday Gardens until Ky finds another egg in the lake and so he swims in it and takes the egg.
"There are probably more eggs left to find here." Spyro said and he finds an egg. "Hey! Another one!" Spyro said, as he runs to the egg, but Shadow feels uneasy.
"Don't touch it!" Shadow called, but as Spyro was about to touch the egg, a giant Black Xeti that looks like a two-headed dinosaur emerges from the ground.
"Whoa! What is that thing?!" Hunter asked.
"That's a Black Xeti!" Elena answered, taking out her staff.
"Let's get rid of it and rescue that egg." Ky said, taking his Keyblade.
"Right." Spyro said.
(Boss Theme: Shrouding Dark Cloud)
The Black Xeti known as Spikisaurus attacks the group by slamming its tail at them and summoning spikes from the ground, attempting to attack the group, but Ky casts Fire while Elena casts Thunder while Spyro breathes fire. Spikisaurus bites at the three with one of its heads, but Max bashes its head with his shield while Tails shoots two shots from his blaster while Blaze uses Fire Drill. Spikisaurus curls itself into a ball and spikes grow around its body and rolls at the group, but they dodge and it keeps rolling, but Shadow spin dashes while Ky rams at it with his horns, knocking it back and now it's dazed.
"Now's our chance! Strike!" Ky said.
Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Elena whacks with her staff while Max uses Shield Missile while Tails tail swipes while Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Shadow multi punches followed by a spin kick while Spyro attacks with his horns. Spikisaurus recovers itself and shoots spikes at the group, but Ky blocks them with his Keyblade while Spyro breathes fire, but Spikisaurus slams its tail again and more spikes pop from the ground. The group run from the spikes and Elena casts Blizzard and then whacks with her staff, but Spikisaurus grows spikes on its body to protect itself, making Elena back off, but Tails throws bombs while Shadow uses Chaos Spears, but Spikisaurus curls itself into a ball again.
"Here we go again..." Max said.
"I got this." Spyro said.
Spikisaurus starts rolling at the group, but Spyro charges with his horns to knock the Black Xeti back, but Spikisaurus shoots spikes at the group, but Blaze shoots fireballs while Max uses Cyclone while Elena shoots multi magic bolts. Spikisaurus tail whips at Blaze, Max, and Elena, but Shadow home attacks at Spikisaurus and delivers a powerful kick, allowing Spyro to breathe fire while Ky attacks with his Keyblade, knocking it down, but it uses the other head to bite at the group. Elena whacks the head with her staff while Blaze delivers a flame swipe and Ky casts Thunder, but Spikisaurus gets up and unleashes more spikes at the group, who dodge and Tails shoots four shots from his blaster while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by breathing fire and Spyro breathes fire as well, trying to knock Spikisaurus again, but it gets back up.
"Why won't it just stay down?" Hunter asked.
"Back off, Black Xeti creep!" Ky said and Spikisaurus attacks with its spikes again.
Just then, electricity appears out of nowhere and attacks Spikisaurus and Spikisaurus is about to shoot spikes at whoever shot electricity, but then, a lightning bolt appears from the sky and it strikes Spikisaurus, destroying the Black Xeti.
"Who just did that?" Spyro asked.
"I dunno." Ky said, as he sees a yellow creature that looks like a mouse with straight ears, brown stripes on its back, red cheeks, and a tail that has a shape of a lightning bolt. "What is that?" Ky asked, walking over to the mouse creature.
"Pika." The mouse creature said.
"Hi, there, little guy. What're you doing out here?" Ky asked.
"Pika." The mouse creature said.
"Uh, thanks for the help there." Ky said.
"Pika." The mouse creature said, nodding its head.
"What is that?" Elena asked and Tails activates his device.
"It says here this creature is a Pikachu. It's an electric mouse Pokemon. Because it's an electric type, it can unleashes electricity from its cheeks. It's normally shy around others and will attack if pestered." Tails explained.
"It doesn't look annoyed. It just looks cute." Elena said.
"Looks can be deceiving." Shadow said.
"Well, thanks for your help, Pikachu. You watch out for anymore Black Xetis or Heartless, okay?" Ky said.
"C'mon. Let's make sure if there are anymore eggs around here." Spyro said.
The group start to move, but Pikachu starts following them.
"Uh, don't attack us please. We didn't even hurt you." Ky said and Pikachu walks over to Ky.
"Pikachu." Pikcahu said.
"I think it wants to come with you, Ky." Tails said.
"I don't think that... Wait, how do you know it wants to come with me?" Ky asked.
"Well, it looks like it wants to come with you." Tails said.
"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu said, nodding its head.
"What do you guys think?" Ky asked.
"Well, it did help us get rid of that Black Xeti." Elena said.
"And from the looks of it, I think it likes you." Shelia said.
"Okay. You can come along." Ky said.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered.
"But I'm not gonna call you Pikachu all the time. I think you need a name." Ky said and he starts to think. "How 'bout...Storm?" Ky suggested.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered, liking the name.
"I think he likes that name." Blaze said.
"Okay then, Storm. Welcome to the team. Ya wanna help us find some eggs?" Ky asked.
"Pika! Pika!" Storm said, nodding its head.
"Great. C'mon." Ky said.
The group start to move again, but then, a rainbow is coming down.
"Oh, no..." Elena said and it's the same female purple cloaked figure.
"What do you want now?" Spyro asked.
"Okay. You dragons may have destroyed that Black Xeti Bowser Jr. sent, but you haven't the slightest idea what other dangers lie ahead of you. I suggest you stop what you're doing and high tail it back home while you still can. I'm telling you this for your own good." The female purple cloaked figure said.
"Who are you?" Shadow asked.
"And why tell us to leave 'for our own good' if you're working for the Sorceress?" Spyro asked.
"My name is Bianca and why I'm telling you this doesn't concern you. Just go." Bianca said, as she disappears by another rainbow.
"What's the point in telling us to leave if she won't tell us?" Max asked.
"Who cares. We need to keep searching for eggs." Ky said.
The group continue searching Midday Gardens for anymore eggs until Ky and Storm find another egg in the middle of flowers and so the two go through the flowers and take the egg while Elena and Spyro see an egg on a ledge, so Spyro glides across and Elena tries to do the same thing and they take the egg. The group continue to search, but Heartless appear to attack, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Elena casts Thunder while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Tails shoots three shots while Blaze flame kicks while Shadow uses Chaos Arrows while Storm unleashes electricity while Spyro breathes fire and they defeat the Heartless and continue to search for eggs, but they don't see anymore.
"I think there's no more eggs around here." Ky said.
"Perhaps there are more eggs hidden in Evening Lake." Sgt. Byrd suggested.
"Let's try there." Spyro said.
"I know the way. Follow me." Sgt. Byrd said as he takes off and the group follow him.
The group follow Sgt. Byrd out of Midday Gardens and they stumble upon a different area that has water and there is a boat and so they get on the boat and start sailing through the water and after a few minutes of sailing, they arrive at a different area.
"Evening Lake is just up ahead." Shelia said.
"Indeed. Let's go." Sgt. Byrd said.
(Evening Lake)
The group arrive at Evening Lake, but as they start searching, they see the turtle creature.
"What the? Who are you?" Ky asked.
"So you're the pest that have been taking the eggs back and causing trouble for us." The turtle creature said. "Those eggs belong to the Sorceress and she doesn't like idiots like you to take things from her." The turtle creature added.
"Those eggs belong to the dragons." Spyro said.
"Not anymore. You're all too stupid to figure out why the Sorceress needs these eggs." The turtle creature said.
"We'll find out." Ky said and Storm Pikachus in agreement.
"Please. You're gonna die soon." The turtle creature said.
"Just get out of here before we beat you." Shadow said.
"Hmph. I'm not scared of any of you." The turtle creature said.
"We'll see." Spyro said, as he breathes fire, but the turtle creature dodges.
"Fools. Have fun with your egg hunt. It won't last long anyway." The turtle creature said, as he leaves.
"I have no idea who that was, but I hope he stays out of our way." Elena said.
"I have a feeling that won't be possible." Ky said.
"We should start looking for eggs here." Max said.
The group start searching for eggs in Evening Lake, but Max falls into the water and Ky has an idea and so he dives into the water and swims in it to find anymore eggs and it turns out there are four eggs in the water, so he and Max take the four eggs and return to the surface. They start searching again until Tails finds an egg on a tower, so he flies up to the tower and takes the egg and they continue until Ky decides to find more eggs in the water, so he, Elena, and Spyro go into the water and they find more eggs and they keep searching until they swim to a different area and there, they see Moneybags again and at his side is another cage and it's holding a giant white furred yeti.
"Now what do you have, Moneybags?" Spyro asked.
"Hehehehe. The Sorceress has her prize on her hands here. It even took two-dozen Rhynocs to capture this dimwitted furball. You'd better believe he won't come out cheap." Moneybags said.
"How much now?" Ky asked.
"1,000 gems." Moneybags answered.
"Ugh. You are such a greedy loser, Scumbag." Spyro said, giving Moneybags 1,000 gems.
"Where are you getting this much money, Spyro? On second thought, it doesn't matter. It's mine now." Moneybags said, releasing the yeti.
"Ah, finally the rejuvenating breath of freedom. I owe you all my greatest thanks." The yeti said.
"You're welcome." Ky said.
"Yes and after all, it was I who let you out." Moneybags said.
"Why you no good, lousy, dimwitted, blackhearted, scum!" The yeti yelled.
"Now, hold on!" Moneybags said, but the yeti starts whacking Moneybags with his crystal club.
"One more, perhaps?" The yeti asked.
"At least." Spyro answered and the yeti delivers one more whack.
"What an idiot." Elena said.
"Please allow me to assist you in your quest." The yeti said.
"Sure." Spyro said.
"Excellent. I am Bentley and I will do whatever I can to be of wonderful assistance." Bentley said.
"Can you help us look for eggs?" Ky asked.
"Of course." Bentley answered.
Ky, Elena, Spyro, and Bentley continue to search for more eggs and so far, the eggs are found underwater, so they return to the surface to search for more eggs, but they see Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Shelia, Sgt. Byrd, and Hunter coming out of the towers.
"How goes your search for the eggs?" Hunter asked.
"Great." Elena answered.
"We also saved Bentley from Scumbag." Spyro said.
"We should keep searching for more eggs here." Ky said.
"Hey, look." Hunter said, looking at an egg and runs over to it.
"Hunter, wait!" Max said called, following him while Tails does the same thing, but when Hunter touches the egg, the ground starts to open and Hunter, Max, and Tails fall through.
"Max! Tails!" Ky yelled.
"Hunter!" Spyro yelled.
"No. This is not good." Blaze said.
Max, Tails, and Hunter are now in a cage and they see the turtle creature.
"You idiots are so predictable! That was too easy!" The turtle creature said.
"You tricked us!" Tails yelled.
"Of course I have. Too bad I don't have that Key brat, but he'll still die either way." The turtle creature said, as he leaves.
"Sorry about that." Hunter said.
"It's not your fault. I hope Ky can break us out of here." Tails said.
"I hope so." Max said.
And that's a chapter end. Sorry for leaving a cliffhanger like that. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and this story so far. The next one will be worked on. Anyway, next time, Ky and his friends continue to look for dragon eggs and will confront and stop the Sorceress. I'll see you all in the next chapter. See you all next time.
