Spyro and his friends made it to Midnight Mountain and started searching the area for the black gem.

"Dude I don't see it ANYWHERE!!" Said hunter.

"Just shut up and look," Said sparx who was annoyed. Just then spyro spotted it on top of the highest and farthest mountain in the area.

"I see it!" Yelled spyro pointing at the black gem.

"Now how do we get it?" Said Blink. Spyro laughed.

"I can just fly up their how simple can it get?" Said spyro. He flapped his wings and flew towards the gem. Back on the ground Bianca was thinking to herself. "Hm its just to easy…way way to easy…oh no" she though.

"SPYRO STOP" Yelled bianca but it was to late spyro flew right for the gem but was instantly zapped and fell from the sky unconscious and was plummeting to an endless drop. Bianca used her magic to teleport spyro back to the ground where he was shaken.

"What the hell was that!?" Said spyro. Bianca shook her head.

"Don't you realize that ripto set us up? That's a force field with electric force, he made it seem to easy so you would get yourself killed luckily you were zapped backwards and I caught you, but if his plan did work you would be falling unconscious threw a bottomless drop." Said bianca. Spyro sighed.

"Ok then smarty pants what's YOU'RE plan" Said spyro. Bianca zapped the force field with magic and it disinigrated.

"Wow that was easy," Said blink

"Yeah but im to weak to fly now" Said spyro.

"I spoke to soon" Said blink. The bianca teleported the gem over the ground.

"When you know magic you can get things done" Said bainca proudly the boys all rolled their eyes in jealousy.

"Well now lets destroy this thing," Said spyro. Bianca threw the gem into the air and spyro shot flames at it and it exploded.

"YES we did it…now anymore of these dark gems?" Said blink then a dragon elder flew from the sky down towards them.

"Huh? Elder Thomas what's up?" Said Hunter.

"Its horrible! While you were gone ripto planted a dark gem in the dragon realm and the power was sucked instantly, we couldn't get to it because the force field was to strong then ripto took it back, Do you know what he could do with the power of the dragon realms?" Said Thomas.

"He could use the power to rule the rest of the realms" Said spyro. Then dark purple clouds started gathering around Midnight Mountain.

"Looks like riptos already starting to use the power." Said blink.

"You have to hurry and go to riptos lair and stop him before its to late and we all fall to darkness" Said Thomas.

"Don't worry I wont let that happen!" Said spyro

"We got your back buddy!" Said sparx the other smiled and nodded. Spyro smiled.

"Alright lets go! Bianca teleport us" Said spyro. Then Bianca teleported them to the preostoirc islands.

The five fell from the sky onto the beach then hunter jumped up.

"This isn't riptos lair! This is the beach on the island his lair is on!" Said hunter

"My head hurts," Said blink.

"I don't know I was going to get us to riptos lair but…oh no…my magic I over used it…if I over use my magic energy it will stabilize and I will be unable to use it! I would also have to wait 2 hours before my magical energy regenerates. Its one of the many flaws of being a sorceress" She said.

"I guess we're walking…" Said Hunter. The five got up and started towards riptos lair.

---------

Back at riptos lair, ripto was looking at spyro in the crystal ball headed towards his lair, he only chuckled.

"Hehe those poor fools even if they did make it here I now have the power of the dragon realms and now that the dragon is occupied with stopping me I'll send my riptocs to plant more dark gems in the area and then I will have more power and once I destroy that dragon and his friends I will make the rest of the dinosaurs on this island, and the dragons my slaves! The rest of the creature will bow down to my rule I WILL HAVE POWER, I WILL HAVE CONTROL, I WILL RULE THIS PATHETIC PLANET, AND NOTHING WILL STOP ME!" Said ripto who then laughed evilly

"But what to do with those unworthy riptocs…crush, gulp and crystal…Hmm Oh I know I'll just make them my personal servants and if they resist…I'll kill um" Said ripto laughing to himself. What he didn't know was that gulp was spying on him threw a crack in the door, gulp was going to ask ripto a question but as he was about to open the door he heard ripto laughing evilly and heard what he was going to do to him crystal and crush. Shocked he ran from the door to find crush and crystal. The two were having a great time exploring the lair, crush knew it that this was the girl for him…he decided to tell his feelings to her. They were in the kitchen area then crush tapped on her shoulder as she was looking around, crystal turned around.

"Yes crush?" She asked. Crush blushed a bit then grinned funny.

"Um well I um…I think that…um well that you're very…uh pretty" He said. Crystal smiled and chuckled.

"Thank you crush" She said. Then gulp ran in and poked crush with one of his horns.

"OW what was that for you jerk!" Said crush.

"I got to tell you guys something! Ripto planning on using the black gem power to make everyone in the world his slaves! And he's going to turn us into servants and if he refuse he'll kill us!" Said gulp

"WHAT!?" Yelled crystal

"That freak! We've worked for him for years and this is how he repays us, turning us into his servants instead of his right hand men…and lady! That's it I quit! I should of quit years ago but I was to much of a coward those days but these last few weeks have taught me something and I'm not going to let some 3 foot tall idiot push me around IM LEAVING!"

"YOU'RE CRAZY IF YOU LEAVE RIPTO WILL KILL YOU!" Said gulp.

"Hmph well if he wants to catch me he better be a good runner" Said crush

"I'm coming with you" Said crystal.

"You're crazy to! I'm staying right here…when spyro kills ripto I'll just…leave." Said Gulp

"You don't get it do you! Ripto has the power now spyro and his friends hardly stand a chance what they need is help from a couple of riptoc who know ripto very well." Said crush

"NO NO NO, im not joining spyro I HATE him I'd rather lose my legs!" Said gulp.

"That's can be arranged" sad crystal glaring at him.

"Ehhh…fine…but I am NOT pleased…and you know im only doing this so I don't get myself killed but ripto or your girlfriend." Said gulp. Crush blushed.

"WELL THEN LETS GO EVERYONE" he said loudly.

"But how are we going to get past ripto?" said crystal

"Hes to concentrated on spyro he can get away easily as long as we do it quietly" Said crush

"Wow and I though you didn't have a brain good job buddy!" Said gulp laughing

"Yeah yeah we'll see whos laughing when we get out of here" said crush. The three sneaked quietly threw the hallways and out the lair then ran into the jungle hopeing to find a way to reach spyro and his friends before it was to late
