Chapter 94: Dragon's Darkness
Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Agrabah and return to the space area while Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to their Gummi ship and continue their journey and they later come across the Dragon Realms and so Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create their light portal and enter it while the Gummi ship lands in the world.
(Field Theme: World of Dragons)
(Dragon Realms: Dragon Village)
The light portal appears in the grassy field and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears while Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and Ky is back to his white dragon form while Elena is back to her pink dragon form while Noel is back to her white dragon form while Sora is back to his black dragon form while Ken is back to his green dragon form while Kiyo returns to his black dragon form while Zatch returns to his yellow dragon form while T.J. returns to his brown dragon form while Zuko returns to his red dragon form while Lucas returns to his orange dragon form.
"Yes! Back to being a dragon!" Sora said.
"You must like being a dragon. Well, I hope everything is okay after dealing with Red and the Dark Gems." Ky said.
"Let's go see Spyro, and see if he needs help with something." Elena said.
The group make their way through the field but while going through the field they see what looks like a black mist appearing in front of them.
"What the…?" Zuko asked.
"What is THAT?" Donald asked.
"Outta the way!" Ky yelled as he tries to attack but the black mist disappears.
"This is weird. We come back, and all of the sudden, a dark force shows up." Bentley said.
"We'd better talk to Spyro about this." Max said.
"I think he's over at the Professor's." Kiyo said.
The group move through the field until they find the Professor's lab and enter it.
(Dragon Realms: Laboratory)
The group enter the laboratory and find Spyro and the Professor.
"Spyro, what's up?" Ky asked.
"What's up is that the realms are in danger again." Spyro said.
"Huh? Why's that?" Tails asked.
"I dunno. I thought things would be great after the whole Red incident, but apparently, this realm, and the others are in danger." Spyro said.
"There is a force of massive darkness outside, and is causing massive corruption in all the realms. This is getting worse, since the Dark Gems." The Professor said.
"You mean that black mist thing when we were finding you?" Sora asked.
"You saw the force of darkness? You should be careful when encountering it. It will drain all life and corrupt the hearts of others if not dealt with." The Professor said.
"If that's causing trouble, then we should do something about it, before this gets out of hand." Shadow said.
"I'm afraid it's not simple either, for you see, the dark force has also created Dark Crystals all over the realms, causing massive darkness and corruption where it spreads." The Professor said.
"Then what can we do?" Goofy asked.
"Hmm, if you destroy the Dark Crystals, then I'm certain you'll be able to weaken it, as you will be able to cease the corruption. The more it corrupts with the Dark Crystals, the stronger it gets." The Professor said.
"Then, destroying the Dark Crystals is our priority, and then we'll take care of that dark mist." T.J. said.
"Be careful. I'm sure those Gnorcs are also corrupted by its power, while the Black Xetis and the Heartless get stronger." The Professor said.
"Okay. Let's get started, Spyro." Ky said.
"You bet!" Spyro said.
"Hold on a moment. I also recommend you talking to the Dragon Elders about that dark force. There has to be something they know about. Good luck! Now, I'll unlock the door, so you can…" The Professor was cut off as the group rush through the door. "Again with that…" The Professor said.
(Spyro has joined you!)
The group are back outside.
"We should talk to Elder Tomas about this dark mist thing first, while also finding those Dark Crystals." Elena said.
"Yeah, I'm sure the other Elders will know about this too." Blaze said.
"Well, let's begin with this whole dark stone hunt AGAIN." Sly said.
The group make their way to find the Dark Crystals and they later go for the cave leading them to another cave and they later come across Elder Tomas.
"Ah, you're back, I see. You must be off on another quest to stop a matter of darkness from taking over the realms." Elder Tomas said.
"Yeah. We're trying to find and destroy Dark Crystals, which is being made by that dark mist thing." Ky said.
"Do you know anything about it?" Noel asked.
"Oh, yes. I do believe that black mist you encountered might have something to do with being created by a corrupted heart. I would tell you more, but you have much to do. So, about destroying these Dark Crystals, do what you have done before when destroying Dark Gems." Elder Tomas said.
"That makes sense." Lucas said.
"Okay. We'll do that." Spyro said.
The group continue to search the cave until they later find what looks like a black crystal on the ground.
"This must be a Dark Crystal. It's just as evil as the Dark Gems. Let's destroy it." Noel said.
"Yeah." Sora said as the three deliver a diving slash with their Keyblades while Spyro delivers a diving attack with his horns and the four destroy the Dark Crystal.
"Hell yeah! One down, and who-knows-how many more left." Ken said.
"There has to be more throughout this place. Let's go." Shadow said.
"There might be other areas we went through before to destroy the Dark Gems, so we should try that too." Bentley said.
"Sounds like a plan." Murray said.
The group keep going through the dragon village to find more Dark Crystals and they later find the bridge that leads them to the swamp before and so they cross the bridge and it leads them to the next area.
(Dragon Realms: Crocovile Swamp)
The group arrive at the swamp and begin searching for more Dark Crystals to destroy and while going through the swamp they find Blink who is rising from underground.
"Oh, hi, guys. Been a while." Blink said.
"Blink, have you seen a Dark Crystal or at least this weird black mist thing?" Zatch asked.
"Actually, I have seen something like before. A black crystal is just outside the house of Elder Magnus." Blink said.
"Oh, no! Not the Elder!" Spyro said as he rushes for the hut.
"Spyro, hold on!" Tails said.
The group go for Elder Magnus' hut and they find another Dark Crystal and destroy it.
"Finally. Now, let's go talk to Magnus." Zuko said.
The group enter the hut and find Elder Magnus.
"Hello there, dears! It seems your quest is a new one, for you must find and destroy those Dark Crystals, and find out more about this dark being." Elder Magnus said.
"Yeah, why's it here, and causing trouble?" Spyro asked.
"That dark force was possibly created by anger and hatred of a dragon, who was consumed by evil, due to his darkness." Elder Magnus said.
"Hmm, that would seem like Red." Bentley said.
"It does sound like it, but we'd better find more Dark Crystals and destroy them, before any more damage is caused." Lucas said.
The group make their way through Crocovile Swamp to find more Dark Crystals until they later return to the dragon village and then they find the tube machine and they enter it and they start going through the tube until they later arrive at a different area.
(Dragon Realms: Dragonfly Falls)
The group arrive at the falls and continue their search for more Dark Crystals to destroy and while they are searching the falls for Dark Crystals the group find Hunter.
"Hunter, have you seen a Dark Crystal around?" Kiyo asked.
"What? Dark Crystal? Not that I know of, but there was this black mist thing going around, and Gnorcs were going with it." Hunter said.
"That same black mist!" Shadow said.
"No doubt it created another Dark Crystal here." Donald said.
"Let's hurry and find it." Noel said.
"Be careful, Gnorcs are bound to try and take down anyone." Hunter said.
"Don't have to tell us twice." Spyro said.
The group continue their way through the falls to find more Dark Crystals to destroy until later on they find another Dark Crystal an so Ky, Noel, Sora, and Spyro destroy it and keep exploring to find more Dark Crystals until they can't seem to find anymore around and so they decide to leave the falls and keep going until they find the tube to send them back to the village.
"Well, I don't think there are any more Dark Crystals around, but they could be more in different realms." Ky said.
"Let's use the Professor's teleport machine and see if we can find more like 'em." Spyro said.
The group go for the teleport machine and they get transported from the Dragon Kingdom to a different realm.
(Dragon Realms: Coastal Remains)
The group arrive at the beach realm and while they start to move a hologram of the Professor arrives.
"Everyone, you've done well with destroying the Dark Crystals in the Dragon Kingdom, but the black force is now in this realm as we speak." The Professor said.
"Really? Here too?" Zuko asked.
"Be careful, everyone! This dark force seems to be a force to be reckoned with, and judging from the Elders, it seems to be something born from a dragon's dark heart." The Professor said.
"We'll find out soon, but I do have a feeling it's Red." Ky said.
"Yes. Perhaps. Anyway, while destroying more Dark Crystals, you should also find Elder Titan in Cloudy Domain to find more clues." The Professor said.
"Will do." Sora said.
The group go through the beach to find more Dark Crystals but then Black Xetis and Heartless and they attack but the group fight them off and keep going through the beach for more Dark Crystals but while still looking around they find the same black mist.
"You again!" Ky said.
"What're you plotting?!" Elena demanded but the black mist disappears again.
"Dammit! It's gone again." Ken said.
"There's no time to waste." Bentley said.
"Let's hurry and find that Dark Crystal, before any more corruption in this realm keeps happening." Lucas said.
The group keep going through the beach until they later find a Dark Crystal in the beach and they destroy it and they keep going through the beach to find more Dark Crystals until they later find a lift which starts to take them to the next area in the sky.
(Dragon Realms: Cloudy Domain)
The group arrive at the Cloudy Domain.
"Back at the Cloudy Domain. Let's go find Elder Titan, and see if he knows anything about this recent event." Spyro said.
"Or he'll just be senile, and not know jack." Ken said but Elena whacks with her staff at Ken's head.
The group find Elder Titan in his place.
"Oh, it's you again! I assume you are here to… Hello? Oh, it's no one. I assume you're here to find that black force causing distress." Elder Titan said.
"Yeah, but all we got was that it was made by a dragon's dark heart. Is that right?" Ky asked.
"Bright? No, a dark heart is not bright, but I do know that this black mist could be from an evil dragon you have fought before." Elder Titan said.
"Red!" Goofy said.
"I just knew it!" Elena said.
"Red? It might be possible. He did turn evil, and so that black force might be his creation. Hello?!" Elder Titan said looking around.
"Welp, that confirms it. Red's the culprit." Shadow said.
"After we deal with the Dark Crystals and that black mist, we'll deal with Red." Ky said.
The group go through the Cloudy Domain to find more Dark Crystals but then Gnorcs come and attack but the group fight them off and keep going and while going through the domain they find someone flying around and they see Sgt. Byrd.
"Well, greetings, chaps! Off for another adventure, I see!" Sgt. Byrd said.
"Hey, Sgt. How's your patrol?" Spyro asked.
"These Gnorcs are still causing trouble because of those blasted black crystals! I don't know how we'll be able to clean this mess." Sgt. Byrd said.
"We're dealing with those Dark Crystals right now, and we're trying to stop that black mist thing creating the Dark Crystals." Sora said.
"Then, I wish you chaps the best of luck on your quest. While I handle mine. Tally-ho!" Sgt. Byrd said as he flies off.
"Well, back to our crystal hunt." Blaze said.
"Yeah. Let's go find any more crystals." Sly said.
The group later leave Cloudy Domain and use the lift to bring them back to the beach and they continue on their search through the beach realm until they later don't seem to find any more Dark Crystals and so they make their way back to the teleport machine and use it to teleport from the beach and go for the next realm.
(Dragon Realms: Frostbite Village)
The group arrive at the snowy village area and just then the hologram of the Professor arrives.
"Everyone! I have some rather…interesting news. That black force that's causing trouble in the realms is really a manifestation created by the darkness in Red's heart!" The Professor said.
"We knew it! We knew Red had something to do with it!" Ky said.
"So, the evil in Red's heart made that black mist thing creating Dark Crystals and corruption?" Spyro asked.
"Yes! As long as that and that dark force continues to exist, the realms will be just as corrupted as Red has all those years ago." The Professor said.
"That can't happen! Since we're in this realm, we'll might as well find that next Dark Crystal and destroy it." T.J. said.
"Also, be sure to find Elder Astor, for he'll might tell you how to truly defeat that dark manifestation. The Gnorcs, Black Xetis, and Heartless will also stop at nothing to stop you from destroying the remaining Dark Crystals." The Professor said.
"We can handle them. Things in the realms will be okay again soon. I promise." Noel said.
The group make their way through the snowy village and continue their Dark Crystal hunt but then Gnorcs get in their way and attack but the group defeat them and keep going to find more Dark Crystals to destroy and later on they find another Dark Crystal and so they destroy the Dark Crystal and keep going to find more Dark Crystals but then they go for the next area.
(Dragon Realms: Ice Citadel)
The group arrive at the Ice Citadel and begin their search for more Dark Crystals but Gnorcs, Black Xetis, and Heartless attack at the group who fight them off and keep searching for more Dark Crystals to destroy until later on they find another Dark Crystal and so they destroy it and keep searching for more Dark Crystals and later on they find a tower and enter it and they find Elder Astor.
"So, you've returned once again to stop Red's plan again?" Elder Astor asked.
"So, Red IS responsible for making his dark manifestation?" Spyro asked.
"Well, at first he didn't realize that the darkness in his heart and his hatred for you would actually create a dark force, but knowing about this, he sent it out to different realms to make them all into his liking." Elder Astor said.
"Damn that asshole!" Ken said.
"Yes, now as you know, destroying the Dark Crystals weakens his dark manifestation, but it won't be easy to defeat as you think. You must counter its darkness with your light, and pay attention to its signs of attacks. None of Spyro's ADD! Now, hurry. The realms won't last long as long it remains free." Elder Astor said.
"Well, we'd better hurry and see if there are any more Dark Crystals left to destroy." Zuko said.
"Yeah! Then, we've gotta deal with that dark mist!" Donald said.
The group make their way through Ice Citadel and keep going to find more Dark Crystals but then they find the same black mist.
"You saved us the trouble of finding you! Now, we'll get you good!" Sora said.
"You're not getting away!" Ky yelled as he attacks at the black mist who disappears.
"Seriously, where is it going now?" Spyro asked.
"Wherever it's going, we'd better go after it." Tails said.
The group make their way back to the snowy village and while they search for the black mist the hologram of the Professor appears.
"Everyone! I have grave news! Red's dark manifestation has reached the Dragon Village and is intending to unleash a powerful dark force to drain all of life! If it continues, it will go for the other realms next, and will become stronger!" The Professor said.
"No way we're letting that happen! We're on our way back to the village!" Spyro said.
"Yeah! It's gonna wish it never messed with us!" Ky said.
"Let's use the teleport machine, and get back, quick!" Bentley said.
The group use the teleport machine and they teleport from the snowy village and return for the Dragon Kingdom.
The group later return to the dragon village and they find the black mist in the sky and so the group confront the black mist.
"Nowhere to go now!" Max yelled.
"We're gonna destroy you!" Murray yelled.
The black mist begins to transform itself into something and later on the black mist now becomes what looks like a giant black dragon with crimson wings, crimson eyes, and a Black Xeti symbol on its body and it roars at the group.
"A Black Xeti! Guess that makes sense!" Shadow said.
"We have to destroy it quickly before it spreads its corruption on the realms!" Zatch said.
"Got that right! Let's do this!" Spyro said.

"That did it. We stops the dark manifestation!" Tails said.
"Well done, everyone! You have saved the realms from Red's hatred!" The Professor said.
"It was the least we can do." Ky said.
"Yeah. I bet Red'll be sorry for trying to take over the world." Spyro said.
"Oh, yes. I'm sure he will be." The Professor said.
"At least the realms will be safe now for a while." Noel said.
"Yeah, but something will try to take over this world again." Sly said.
"Don't worry. I'll handle anything that comes here and tries to ruin the realms. Thanks a bunch for your help, guys." Spyro said.
"It was nothing." Donald said.
"Yep. Well, with this place safe once more, I think it'll be time to be moving on again." Sora said.
"I hope we'll meet again sometime, Spyro." Ky said.
"Back at ya, guys!" Spyro said and Sparx makes noise.
"Yeah, I'll see you again too, Sparx." Ky said.
"Well, we'd better get going again. We got more people to see and help." Elena said.
"See you guys later!" Ky said as the group start to leave the dragon village.
