Clean. It was the best word to describe a Foe mothership, especially if it's the "King's" mothership. Far off from the Dragons Realms was a massive mothership decorated with a massive cannon-like weapon on its top. The Shadow was five times the size of the Stealth Squadron's Atlantis, with the exception of the lack of armory and only a gatling gun in the center. Still, with the massive cannon, it was a threat, planet wise. Inside the mothership a reptilian two-legged Foe grunt pushed a wheelchair with an ape sitting on it with tens of bandages.

"Can't believe you lived boss!" the grunt said panting heavily. Galaxicous huffed holding on to one of the arms of the wheelchair as the grunt slammed him into a door.

"You idiot! What's wrong with you!?" he asked violently pulling out a cane. The grunt backed away and ran off into the dark hallway. Galaxicous opened the door he ran into and stood up trying to look official. Inside the room was an office filled with monitors of a massive core, a small battle in the Lylat System, and an anger management educational video, witch showed an old man holding an ugly puppet.

"It's okay to feel sad sometimes…" the screen changed to a Cornerian football game when the door closed.

"I didn't see anything sir" Galaxicous said as he tried to hold a laugh from an old episode of Mr. Rogers. The seat turned around which showed the leader or "king" of the Foe. He had a maroon uniform with a sword and pistol on the side pocket areas. He had a cigar in his mouth and placed it in an ash tray. The alligator-like Foe King lightly shook his head in disappointment.

"I asked you to make sure no one…I MEAN…NO ONE…to get through to the Realms. But no, you failed…and you know why?" the King asked the ape who began to sweat and looked worried.

"Because the Stealth Squadron showed up?" he replied. The King coughed rapidly and banged on his desk rapidly as he heard the title.

"What do you just say?!" he asked violently as he took a sip of an unknown liquid in a cup. The ape shrugged and acted natural.

"Stealth Squadron?" he replied again. The alligator stood up and paced back and forth, mumbling numerous words that the author cannot even describe, since it was in another language. He squinted at the ape and looked at a screen.

"If it wasn't for those damn dolphins and their precious bond between man…my mother and father would've ruled that planet, and make me King!" the ape also raised an eyebrow.

"But you are king, and we forgot about Earth and dolphins and so on. What's hot about these guys?" The King turned around with his face red as fire pulling out his sword, very close to slit his throat.

"They are the most toughest mercenaries in the galaxy! The first Stealth Squadron ripped my army and others to bits! This generation is just as bad. They may be more mellow and laid back type of adventurers, but they kill just as bad." He said in a groggy hiss. The ape shook his head very hard, causing his tall helmet to fall off. The gator walked over to another screen and looked a blue and grey dragon android, the shape of a flying Chinese dragon. "See that Galaxicous?" he asked commander. He slowly walked over and noticed the mechanical dragon.

"Yeah, and?" he said looking snooty and unimpressed. The King smacked his head in frustration and pointed violently at the robot.

"That is our new and most feared weapon against the humans and Cornerians. Patent by Andross and stolen by me, I created a robot that will solve our Stealth Squadron problems. Behold Galaxicous…The mighty Mirage Dragon! Bwah Ha Ha!" he laughed in a terrible evil scientist way. Galaxicous slowly backed away from his commander and still looked unimpressed.

"You realize they have enough dragons that are ten times the strength than some childish android? Look at it! It's a long piece of crap!" The ape yelled in un-satisfaction. The King violently faced him and released his pistol at his head. He was shaking the sidearm hard to indicate how tense he was.

"At least Andross makes good crap. Now, I want you to get the heck out of here and recover as quickly as possible. I have a new Rock Crusher class vessel I have for you. Now GET OUT!!!" he screamed nudging the trigger to it's clicking point. Galaxicous sprinted out tripping over his wheelchair. The King fired three shots at the door breaking the glass window area's. He threw the sidearm down on the floor and flipped on a switch.

"What's up sir?" another ape creature asked, while wiping oil from his face. The king pointed at the Mirage Dragon with an evil grin.

"Launch him, immediately! Hyper route…8383…Dragon Realms" the ape wrote the information down on a sticky note and whistled at a small control room with a lizard grunt inside.

"Launch the MD-4000! 8383!" he yelled to the Foe grunt. He gave the okay sign and opened a hatch below. "Hyper-Launch set…target set…fire!" he ordered. The mechanical beast dropped from below and floated for a moment. Then it charged up and moved like a real dragon, and disappeared through the blink of an eye.

"Lets see how they handle this…"

The morning was very unique to Spyro this time. No noise, no explosions from the Professors lab, it was just silent. The best sleep he had in a long time. The ground felt like a cloud to him, it almost felt like he died in a peaceful slumber. He yawned and slowly opened his purple eyes smacking his lips. Somehow what he saw was different. It was still dark, pitch black even, with only a hint of light from a small lamp. The ground which he thought was a patch of grass was soft and fluffy. It even smelled different. Near him he heard small breathing sounds from his left. He slowly moved over and fell onto a much harder surface.

"Ow…" he murmured to himself. He hovered his wings gently over to another soft area where more of the breathing sounds came from. He snatched what it felt like a soft sheet and climbed up to see that Flame was snoring quietly, practically covered in the sheet. He slowly moved his paw over to the red dragon and shook him slightly.

"Flame, wake up!"

"Not now Nestor I'm surfing" he mumbled turning over to the other direction.

"Flame!"

"Ahhhh! Wipeout!" he screamed with his ruby eyes the size of a beach-ball. Spyro shook Flame to quiet him down which took a second from him to realize that he was awake. He breathed heavily and stared at his purple friend angrily.

"Shhhhh!"

"Dude! What the heck?!" he yelled again. Spyro closed his mouth with his paw and stared eye to eye. He pointed all around the dark room which made Flame realize the problem as well. "Is that a window?" he asked pointing his paw at a circular window. The two slowly walked over through the darkness, approaching the only other source of light. Spyro leaped up in the air but couldn't get a great view outside. He looked at Flame who sighed and walked, facing his head at the wall. Spyro walked on top of the red dragons back who stood as high up as he could. He grabbed the edge of the window and gasped in disbelief.

"Holy crap…"

"What is it Spyro?" Flame asked trying to hold him without wobbling.

"What are you guys doing?" asked a feminine voice from behind. Flame jumped from being startled and tripped with Spyro falling on top of him. A massive blinding of light appeared from a corner which revealed Cynder, Ember, and Raichu laughing at their account.

"Okay you orange rat, where are we!?" Spyro growled at the electric mouse. Raichu pulled out a decent sized gun from his hands, armed with a crystal inside. He fired at the two which released a blast of water, separating the two. The two females laughed. Spyro and Flame got up and splashed the water everywhere staring at Raichu with a snarl.

"What's the big idea?" Flame huffed. He walked passed the three and dropped his mouth when he looked outside the doorway. "uhhhhhhh…." He stared dumbstruck. Cynder followed him outside.

"I was like that too. I'll show you around" she giggled and ushered Flame around the unknown place. Ember and Raichu waited for Spyro to walk out. He stood in the middle of the room in disbelief.

"You have to see this place Spyro! It's so romantic." She said blushing. She grabbed one of his paws with her tail and dragged him out, still dumbstruck. "and your coming with me" she said in bliss. Spyro tried to reach for Raichu in help, but he backed away laughing and followed his own trail around the area.

Cynder and Flame quickly made it to the docking bay with all fighters and the Tundra, an M5A10 Abrams Landmaster tank, and an old camouflaged dune buggy. Jose, Kent and Allan were there as well, looking at down at pair of Jose's legs.

"I need some oil" Jose said making a grabbing movement with his hands. Kent walked over and picked up a can of motor oil. It was so greasy, he dropped it which spilled all over the metal flooring, covering Jose who was waiting for the can.

"Ahhhh!" he panicked rolling out from under the buggy. His head was covered with oil trying to get most of it off.

"Now you know how I feel" Kent said rubbing his head. Jose walked away and picked up another can of oil. He laid back on the roller again.

"Your lucky this isn't the clothes I'm wearin when we land again" Jose said sternly. He rolled back under the buggy and began to change the oil. Kent and Allan noticed Cynder and Flame looking around the bay. The red dragon was fascinated with the advanced Arwings and other vehicles.

"This place his incredible" Flame said looking at the Tundra, polished and ready for combat. Cynder moved closer, which made Flame get nervous quickly. He tried to not look directly into her eyes. Both dragons sat on Allan's ProwlerWing watching the trio fixing the dune buggy. Allan looked up and saw them staring at Jose's legs, who moving like crazy, trying to tighten a screw.

"Oh hey guys. Nice isn't it?" he said placing his elbow on the nose of the fighter. He noticed Flame still nervous from sitting next to Cynder. "you okay? Enjoy yourself!" he said walking back to the dune buggy fixing the engine with Kent, apparently it was in the rear. Cynder looked at Flame and raised one of her brows.

"Something wrong Flame?" she asked facing her head at his. He turned around and took a deep breathe.

"It must be oil the mechanic spilt" he replied jumping off the nose of the ProwlerWing. She nodded and walked him out of the docking bay. Unfortunately they missed Allan and Kent being clobbered with fire and black smoke, covering their faces and upper bodies with ash. Allan coughed a small black breath of smoke from his mouth.

"I take it the engine works" he said sarcastically.

"Ha ha, now who is the cleanest around here?" Kent laughed as he directly fell on the puddle of oil all over his back. "Aww man!" he complained. Allan smirked and continued fixing the engine.

On the long hallway the Flame and Cynder caught Erick on a computer. He was playing violently on a controller, playing in a very old game. On the screen, his 8-bit ship of an Aerowing fighting against another. Above his fighter was a yellow indicator of his screen name. Before the two could get a glimpse of what will happen next, he was shot down by another Aerowing with the title in orange "Zap404". On the other side of the room was Raichu gloating as he walked out of the room.

"Still can't touch me in Star Coyote" he said proudly as he walked out of the room. The two stared at Erick who was frustrated out of his mind.

"What!?" he said which revealed his face completely red and covered in sweat. They both shrugged and whistled to the main room. The metal revealed the Lounge Room, which as always featured the massive window, showing the galaxy in all its glory. Flame gasped in astonishment and followed the jet-black dragoness to the middle.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" she said softly as she gazed her emerald eyes out. Flame, still silent walked over and sat as close as he could get, and joined watching the stars and the planets surrounding their home.

Spyro and Ember joined J.J. and Daniel, looking over the Dragon Realm planet and collecting data for General Ruther.

"So for a reward, your going to help save our home?" Ember asked trying to understand whatever Daniel lectured about. He nodded his head and faced the two dragons.

"Yep. Your looking at the best mercenaries in the galaxy. Sorry we transported you up here without your permission" he said sincerely rubbing his back. Ember nodded and face Spyro, then back at the veteran.

"Thanks but, Spyro can handle all that" she said proudly. Spyro turned his head quickly confused. Daniel pressed a few holographic buttons and revealed the Foe armada and other options like weapons, grunts, ships, excreta.

"We're still helping. This is a crises for your home. Destroying these dark, energy crystals will promote a shield that is protecting your planet or Realms from becoming space junk." He opened a window which featured a massive mothership, many times bigger with a gigantic cannon on the top. "this is the mothership Ruther sent me that is heading straight towards your home. A few shots, and your planet will have a flaming dent all over." He showed a demonstration of the attack which frightened Ember, even Spyro looked worried.

"Your friend Cynder volunteered to help us wipe out those Foe crackers. We'll be lookin for this Gnasty Gnorc guy who has been one of a few guys down there making trouble" J.J. said acting cool and pulling out his ice sword. "Plus, we bought some tight elemental swords" he showed it to Daniel, then the two dragons. Before they could examine the sword Roburto bleeped out of his circuits.

"Warning! Warning! Enemy-vessel-approaching-at-moderate-speeds" Daniel got off the chair and grabbed a microphone.

"Allan! Jose! Get outside! Something's approaching and it isn't friendly!" he yelled over an intercom. Ember began to panic and couldn't move which way.

"Spyro…" she said worried ducking near him. He place one of his small arms around her head and faced a sweat dropping Daniel.

"What's going on? What's happening!?" he asked feeling a massive tremor. Flame ran through the door and looked around noticing the Stealth team manning positions. Another tremor rocked the mothership even more. As alarm as loud as an A-bomb went off with a red light flickering.

Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! Stealth Fighters prepare for launch. The mothership rocked very hard, sending the three dragons under a desk.

"Damage-to-left-hull-confirmed" Roburto said in his monotone.

"Daniel we're outside! Get the hell out of here! NOW!" Allan ordered on his frequency. Spyro looked over the place and couldn't see Cynder. He turned to Flame who was preparing for another impact.

"Flame, where's Cynder!?"

"She's with Allan and Raichu in his fighter" All three grew silent and hoped for the best. Daniel flew off his chair and faced Roburto with a stroke of fear down his middle-aged spine.

"Roburto, get us away from here. If Allan and Jose are shot down… get Ruther to prepare a defense fleet!" He ordered the man-like android. He bleeped and began pushing the control-panel's buttons.

"Affirmative. Emergency maneuver…warp 4" The Atlantis faced the opposite direction and charged out of harms way.

- - - - - - - - - -

Allan and Jose charged on their visible adversary. The mechanical beast charged at them head on firing a beam of blue energy. They both broke away and fired their blasters at the drone. All shots at the body was left unharmed.

"Man, I don't get this thing. I hate this!" Jose complained firing at the Mirage Dragons tail. The rear swiped him and sent him flying pass Allan. "Ahhhhh!!" he screamed. Allan charged after the mechanical dragon and fired a Nova bomb at the center. No damage was done. Again the beast fired another blue ray of energy at him, striking a small portion of his rear.

"Man that's a big mouth!" A thought popped into his mind when the dragon fired another and more stronger ray of energy. Allan barrel-rolled and aimed his sights on the mouth which for a few seconds was exposed. Raichu and Cynder who haven't been saying much were knocked out from the last time they took damage. "peace at last" he said and fired heavily at the mouth. The Mirage Dragon shook its head violently and began smoking black smoke from it's head. Allan followed the dragon and shot at its backside, exposing a spine which was filled with a large battery.

"HRRRNNN!!" the Mirage Dragon yelled and fired a stream of energy at Allan's ProwlerWing, taking moderate damage in the wings, Allan fought back and fired heavily at the mouth again with a Nova bomb. The explosion through open it's mouth and self-destructed sending large pieces of metal everywhere. The spine and battery laid still and fell downward in flames.

"Well that was such a thrill" Allan said sarcastically. A massive explosion appeared from below which Jose's StealthWing appeared with a dent in it's nose.

"Nice shooting! You made it look easy!" Jose said in astonishment. He looked down and watched the final explosion of the Mirage Dragon, a weak but clever enemy. Allan turned around and saw Cynder and Raichu rubbing heads in pain.

"Had a nice nap you two?" he asked with a smirk. Raichu rolled his eyes and pointed at the view of the Atlantis returning.
