Always in the Dark Masters presence Gual and his fellow apes have been on edge on edge was the understatement of the day when he and his men walked into the chamber that held the large crystal that was at the bottom of mount Malefor as he and his two guards immediately felt fear as that feeling of "your being watched" washed over them.

"This had better be good news because being stuck in a crystal by your enemies shortens ones temper drastically."

'I thought he always had a short temper,' thought Gual to himself as he carefully prepared his response to his Master.

"WELL!" The Dark Master roared.

"W-W-We took 4 more provinces in the human world an-

"Good how many new slaves did we aquire?"

Gual nuged one of the smaller apes forward 'the good thing about being the king is you do not have to give bad news' Gual thought

"Yes?" said the Dark Master

"w-w-Well sir we have taken over ten thousand slaves in these four provinces."

He was silent a moment then said "Out of the ten so called States that you have taken you have only gotten NINTIEY THOUSAND SLAVES WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE NEARLY NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND." In the Dark Master's rage he sent out a purple beam of pure energy out of one of the ends of the crystal and into the small ape an unnatural non-worldly scream was heard by all and then a flash of light the ape was gone and in its place was a smoking crater and a pair of legs marking where the ape once stood the attack must have been unbearably loud and everyone knew it but strangely it was just unnaturally silent the Dark Master broke the silence "Honestly if I knew you apes were just as incompetent as you looked I would have never sent you, things were so much better when I had Cynder under my command she could follow orders and make sure you did as well"

Gual dared to step forward with a demeanor that stated don't make idle threats you know you need us. When every other living thing in the room was shaking its brains out "Sir there is something that makes up for this"

"WELL!"

"Sir we have captured Spyro and Cynder."

"…You must be joking there is no possible way that…you are serious." The king only nodded "Where are they? WHERE!" the Dark Master's crystal was beginning to pulsate with pent up energy it would almost fade to nonexistence and then get so bright to the degree that it was almost blinding to the apes around it many of them turned away but the Ape King who was the closest did not.

"Why my Master They are right here" the ape king stepped aside to reveal two unconscious figures one purple one black bound with thick ropes and chained to the stone cart with metal muzzles on there jaws effectively rendering harmless if they awoke "Gual what have I told you about their capabilities" the Dark Master said almost disappointed

Really my lord do you think I am incompetent though we are having trouble adapting the heumans technology we still have got some of it down to a science" Gual hit a button on a square metal remote and out of the stone cart rose a ring of Dark Crystals.

"Perfect" the Dark Master, purred then he paused deep in thought "Where will you put them Gaul." Malefor, mused

"I had a maximum security prison constructed out of a burned out heuman city just for this in fact there is only one cell in the place."

"That will do leave me for now." The crystal dimmed and the presence seemed to vanish into thin air.

"Sir, you did not tell him that it is close to several other prisons as well as the Waygate network."

"Speaking of witch is it functional yet." the King turned his hard glare on the smaller ape

"Y-Y-Yes sir."

The walk continued for many days and Lt. Shawn Ohera thought, "will this ever end". Strangely it did end because something came into view what Shawn could tell about it though that it was big it looked like the size of the empire state building then he noticed something else that there were two of them right next to each other. What it looked like a big man made water fall though there was nothing man made about it. At the top there was a round green circle with a brightly glowing green emerald with 2 metal what appeared to be bronze supports coming down from the circular piece and attaching to the structure in a moon shape and between the moon shape and the two pillars that connected to it. Down the middle a thin sheet of water ran down the structure looked elegant even from a distance of 5 miles.

"Hey Lt. do you think they believe in elegance in execution," joked the ever fatful GySgt. O'Brian

"Ha ha ha Johnny shut up if you want to live and I suggest we start calling each other by our first names because we don't know when we will get back to our people so…lets just leave it at that" Retorted, Shawn

"Oh so what your thinking that will get what 3 promotions each when we get back" Replied, Johnny

"Something likes that." Said, Shawn smirking at the idea

"Will what's up man you have not said a word since our capture." said Johnny

Will never answered because he was on the ground out like a light and shortly they were all unconscious again.

It went from grim to hellish the Guardians tried to send a runner though the tunnel to Avalar only to come out an hour later beaten and bloody with a request for Warfang's immediate surrender. For the past Two days their had also been earth golems surrounding the city and they were finally full circle they had no way out. The Earth guardian decided in the end to take it because it was likely to be the last chance they would get to live to fight another day. Every time they had sent out a mission no one had returned. It was obvious from lack of evidence that the rescue groups could find that they weren't slain only captured which was new for the dark army for before Spyro and Cynder attacked they did not take prisoners. Even now facing capture as the army slowly approached the city now flying a white flag in place of the Warfangian one the creatures on the battlements stood proud.

"Well I guess that this is it for the noble Glacial Blood."

"Cyril Volteer it has been an honor for me to serve with you."

Volteer remained unusually silent on this somber day the day Warfang fell.

The Grublin commander as soon as he saw the white flag called the Advance.

Apes and gublins a like advanced they came from all directions their numbers increased with each passing day. Out of the tunnel a full batallion of apes and wyvrens marched out within one day they had completely occupyed the city takin all military forces Prisioner and the remaining citizens were quickly put under Marshal Law.

The last city of the dragon realms had fallen.

Well I am back everyone and amazingly I have found the inspiration to write again so even though it was long over due I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I now have a problem I could up this story to M and give you a detailed account of the torture I am going to force on Spyro and Cynder of I can not you decide in your reviews.
