Skywing Flame: well guys Shadow Lordl could not be here today for the beginning author notes so I guess that I'll have to fill in for him.

Chaos Samus bursts into the room and starts firing Var Beam shots at Skywing.

Chaos Samus: I'll get my revenge on you SKYWING FLAME! *Keeps firing Var Beam shots.*

Skywing Flame: *Dodging Var Beam shots* Ah crap I thought all this was over with. *barely dodges a Var Missile that explodes and vaporizes the entire wall* Shadow lordl does not own Metroid, Zelda, or Spyro. *Starts running for his life.*

Chaos Samus: *fires a Seeker Var Missile that hits Skywing Flame as he is running. The explosion puts the sun to shame.*

Sun: T_T so bright...

The smoke clears and the brightness of the explosion fades.

Skywing Flame: _ (Passed out Anime Style.) *left arm twitches slightly as does his right leg*

(Ridley's POV)

I was feeling much better after the first day in that infirmary that these Mole's Cheetah's and Dragon's had.

Most of my healing was done through the use of those Red Crystals. Some how I was able to absorb them into my body, but some of the healing also came from the equipment that was brought in by Samus.

Never thought that my enemy would be the one to help me. I never thought that she could be so... I don't know. I was outside the Infirmary flying in the air now much to my own Space Pirates amazement.

Strange that they did not know that I could absorb the power of those crystals into my body.

As I flew through the air I suddenly realized that it was the third day after me and my Pirates were attacked by that Malefor.

"He nearly killed me and just very well could have. Why did he leave me nearly dead though... It makes no sense. Every time I wound up in a fight it was with Samus and she usually killed me without hesitation." I was speaking my thoughts out loud when a loud bell tolled.

I looked to the north wall, which looked to be in slight disrepair. As if they had been attacked before. I thought.

Flying to the north wall I noticed that the Guardian dragons were already there as well as a golden furred cheetah.

Upon landing I was going to ask what was going on but then I caught sight of some ugly looking creatures far in the distance and all of them making their way towards the city rather fast.

I also saw what seemed to be siege towers as well as a battering ram.

So this is an attack on the city. I thought as the few pieces of my armor began to glow with the rage I felt towards these creatures.

(Space Pirate General's POV)

Lord Ridley had been looking better after the first day but he was still unconscious till the third day after we were attacked.

I had my assistant with me to record the events of each day I also had the science team to repair whatever pieces of armor that we had.

Most of the armor was beyond repair while others were still in perfect working order but at the moment we were anticipating an attack and had set up heavy guard detail along each of the walls.

We did not know that the dragons, and moles had done much the same only one cheetah dared to be part of guard detail... I believe that his name was Hunter of Avalar.

Letting out what would have been a sigh for us Space Pirates I opened the Electronic log book to record a few events when suddenly we heard the peeling toll of the north bell tower.

So we're under attack. I thought just as my assistant nearly froze.

I motioned for the Space Pirate to follow me and quickly, to the north wall.

Upon reaching the north wall we saw Lord Ridley along with Guadian Dragons and other dragons as well as a few moles.

We also saw the cheetah named Hunter who was staring out across the plains to the northern wasteland.

It was Lord Ridley who spoke though as if to end the oppressive silence.

"They are approaching fast they also have siege towers and a battering ram. It seems that we are facing odds of twenty to one. Heh I like those odds."

Lord Ridley seemed a little more confident suddenly but then he gave an order to the Snipers.

"All sniper units aim sharp and aim well. Pick your targets and take them down. A single shot to the head should do them quite nicely." he said with a smirk.

I was surprised that he would actually give our sharp shooters an order to attack, usually the snipers did not get orders.

Making my way to the top of the wall I stood beside Ridley and gazed out across the landscape that was slowly turning into a black mass of those ugly creatures called Grublins.

"This is what we are up against. I guess we're going to defend this city correct?" I said in the native language of space pirates.

Lord Ridley did not respond instead he motioned for me to send a message to Samus' ship that was still in orbit.

A message order to attack? Or was that to send a distress signal to bring in some form of reinforcements? I thought but did not care as I sent a double message.

One of the messages was an assistance order for the ship to assist in the defense of the city by attacking from space.

The second one was to send out a distress signal to alert either the other Space Pirates or others of the Federation.

I knew that they would both be heard and most likely be followed through with but I could not predict the future.

A great ball of fire hit the walls near the base and that was when the attack began.

Our snipers fired off several rounds of their beam weapons taking down countless numbers of those creatures.

The dragons, as well as Lord Ridley, took to the air and began using their breath attacks on the encroaching mass.

Me and the rest of the Space Pirates jumped from the battlements to the ground on the other side of the wall.

It was then that the Wrist Blade wielding team activated their weapons and the others of this group drew forth their own weapons of combat.

I did not move yet as I saw a falcon fly off towards the west and I could tell that Hunter was sending for assistance from his people.

(Spyro's POV)

I saw the city was about to be under attack but Ignitus told Cynder and me to stay till Samus and Link were done with their trial's.

I, being the kind of dragon to ignore orders, ran through a portal to Warfang with Cynder following close behind.

We had to defend Warfang from this attack.

Upon arriving we saw that the attack had already begun.

Space Pirates were everywhere, in the air blasting grublins down with their strange gun like weapons, on the ground wielding what looked like wrist blades, and others were atop the higher areas taking down grublins one at a time with a single shot.

I also noticed that a few Space Pirates were carrying what looked like a cannon up to the top of the battlements of the north wall.

Landing on the battlements I looked around to see what I could do to be of assistance while Cynder looked around being alert to the surroundings.

A few minutes later I heard one of the Space Pirates say something, thanks to the translator device that Samus had given me and Cynder we were able to tell what they said.

"Dread Class Turret number 2719-5 in place waiting for the other three turrets to be in place."

"Dread Class Turret?" I said curiously.

"Yes. The Dread Class Turret is by far one of our strongest turrets yet if we had of had it completed back on Tallon IV then Samus would not have been able to get to our main base of operations. As it is we had to wait a long time to get it up and operational and even then we still needed a few crucial components that we could not find anywhere. Apparently those components were found on this planet." Someone said behind Cynder and me.

I turned as did Cynder and we saw that it was the one named Ridley.

"So that turret is going to help us defend Warfang?" Cynder asked.

Ridley seemed to laugh at this and said, "Of course it is just wait till you see what it can do."

I shook my head in confusion just as a Siege Tower made it to the left of the wall.

Cynder and I made our way to it but suddenly it was shot down by a massive beam of energy that had a large object burning in the center of it.

The tower exploded and fell apart instantly killing the grublins that had started to get off of the tower and onto the walls.

Apparently this Turret was stronger than the Mole's cannon that only fired smooth boulders.

Oh no... the attack on Warfang has begun. Samus and Link are not there to lend a hand. Looks like it will have to be up to Spyro, Cynder, the dragons, the moles, and the Space Pirates to defend Warfang till Samus and Link show up.

Chaos Samus lifts Skywing Flame up off the ground and just starts walking towards the north wall of Warfang.

Skywing Flame is then tossed into the mass of Grublins only to be horrifyingly disfigured by the creatures.

*Shadow Lordl wakes up* What hit me... and why is Skywing Flame nothing more than a puddle of red mush.

*Skywing Flame falls out of the sky* I'm not dead... surprisingly.
