Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were walking on the path in the Rocky Fields.
Then Whirlwind smelled something terrible.
"We need to stop walking." Whirlwind said.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap stopped walking.
"Why do we need to stop walking?" Spyro asked.
"Because I smell something terrible. (Sniff) It smells like smoke." Whirlwind said.
"There's smoke here?! But the sign didn't say anything about smoke!" Sparx said.
Then a Smoke Ball landed on the ground and exploded into smoke cloud, making it hard for Spyro, Whirlwind, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap to see and also making hard for Spyro, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap to breathe but Whirlwind was unaffected while Ronald and Cynder could still see and breathed just fine.
"Whirlwind, how (cough) how (cough) How can (cough) you see through (cough) all this smoke?" Spyro asked.
"I can't." Whirlwind said.
"Then how can (cough) you breathe through (cough) this smoke?" Spyro asked.
"Because I have the poison element and smoke is also from the poison element so I am able to breathe just fine and the same thing goes for Ronald and Cynder." Whirlwind said.
"Then how can Ronald and Cynder see through this smoke?" Spyro asked.
"That's because Ronald has the magma element and Cynder has the aqua element and those elements dilute poison so they are able to see through the smoke." Whirlwind said.
"I see. But (cough) can (cough) we (cough) get rid of this smoke (cough) so me and the other three can (cough) breathe normally?" Spyro asked.
"Yeah. We can't (cough) go on (cough) like this." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
"Hmm. What can I do?" Whirlwind asked herself.
Then the spirit of a light green dragon appeared.
"Who are you?" Whirlwind asked.
"I'm the spirit of the Poison Guardian Of The Dragon Temple. My name is Toxina." Toxina said.
"Well, Toxina, what can I do to help Spyro, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap?" Whirlwind asked.
"The Poison Barrier." Toxina answered.
"The Poison Barrier?" Whirlwind asked.
"Yes, the Poison Barrier, it's the ability that dragons have after you gained those unnatural elements after your corruption but only if you were the color green while you corrupted. The Poison Barrier will protect your friends from smoke and all six from piercing rocks, piercing irons, and giant fruit." Toxina said.
"I see. Thank you, Toxina." Whirlwind said.
"You're welcome, Whirlwind." Toxina said.
Then Toxina disappeared.
"Well, Whirlwind, can (cough) we do (cough) anything (cough) to get rid of this smoke (cough) so me and the other three can (cough) breathe just fine?" Spyro asked.
"I don't know. But I can do something like this. Poison Barrier!" Whirlwind said.
Then a barrier surrounded Spyro, Whirlwind, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap and then Spyro, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were able to breathe just fine again.
"Ah. That's better." Spyro said.
"It certainly is." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
"Whirlwind, I didn't know you could do that." Spyro said.
"Me either but in the smoke, I saw the spirit of the deceased Poison Guardian named Toxina and she told them that I have the ability to use the Poison Barrier so I decided to give it a try after she left and it worked. Though, I still can't see through the smoke." Whirlwind said.
"Is that why you stopped us?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, I did, I may be hard but I still care for my friends and if the Smoke Balls hit you, then it would have terrible effect on you as you would be sick and wouldn't be able to breathe so we need to ask Ronald to use his magma element on you and to ask Cynder to use her aqua element element on you because their elements dilute poison." Whirlwind said.
"I get it. So, Ronald and Cynder have the cures for curing poison if someone gets poisoned." Spyro said.
"Wow, these new elements are really beneficial to us." Ronald and Cynder said.
"You never had the power to dilute poison at all before?" Spyro asked.
"No, we didn't, and we had to create potions to dilute poison. And sometimes, we had to use a poison in our potion to cure a Bee's poisoning and it somehow worked." Ronald and Cynder said
"So, poison can dilute poison too?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, it can, but we were surprised when it worked. But then again, the Ice Realm Dragons can only be defeated by the ice elements and then the Night Realm Dragons can only be defeated by the electric element which meant that you had to Fight Ice With Ice and to Fight Electric With Electric, Spyro." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Yeah, I get it. But did you ever create magma or aqua?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, we did, but we had to be careful with them as we didn't have our new elements at that time." Ronald and Cynder said.
Then the smoke cloud disappeared.
Then piercing rocks and piercing irons went flying but Ronald shielded Cynder and he got hurt.
"Don't worry, Spyro, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap, this barrier will protect from those piercing rocks and piercing irons and I can extend it to protect Ronald and Cynder but only if they want me to." Whirlwind said.
"Uh, Ronald, do you want to be protected by Whirlwind's Poison Barrier?" Spyro asked.
"I do but I'm supposed to protect Cynder because she's my girlfriend so I won't!" Ronald said.
"I hate to break it to you, Ronald, but those rocks and irons got you bleeding and I can fix them but it would be worthless if you end up shielding me again." Cynder said.
"But I don't want to be seen like I'm bad boyfriend when I'm not!" Ronald said.
"Ronald, I know that you're a good boyfriend and you still are but the thing is that I'm really worried about you because I'm afraid that you would have died due to these rocks and irons being really sharp and I don't want to lose my boyfriend for real." Cynder said.
"Wait, you are really worried about me?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, I am, and the moment that Father and Mother yelled and scolded me for you shielding me and that you could have died, I became worried and ever since we became boyfriend and girlfriend, I became even more worried which is why I prevented you from going to Whirlwind's Lair because I was overprotective of you." Cynder said.
"Oh, it's because you cared about me and were worried about me but why didn't you go to the Donvexity to save me before we became boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ronald asked.
"I wanted to but Spyro said no and that he will go because he didn't want Sunburn, Camo, and Zap to worry about me more than they already have and he told me that if we both go there then we both won't make it back and he told me not to worry and that he will save you and he did." Cynder said.
"Now, I fully understand. I was confused but I understood the Whirlwind's Lair part and the fact that you didn't want to lose me but now I fully understand it as you cared about me before we became boyfriend and girlfriend but you were told not to go to the Donvexity to save me because Spyro didn't want you to risk your life and didn't want Sunburn, Camo, and Zap to worry about you more than they already have and after we became boyfriend and girlfriend, you became even more worried about me especially when I got captured by the corrupted Whirlwind which resulted in your overprotectiveness." Ronald said.
"That's correct, Ronald." Cynder said.
"I asked the wrong question…" Spyro said.
"It's okay, Spyro. Everyone makes mistakes. We just have to learn from it." Zap said.
"Is Cynder going to be protected by the Poison Barrier?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, she is. Well, if she wants to." Whirlwind said.
"I do want to be protected by the Poison Barrier!" Cynder said.
"Well, if Cynder is fine with it then I will do it too!" Ronald said.
"Extend!" Whirlwind said.
Then the Poison Barrier extended and now protected Ronald and Cynder.
"Now, let's see if I can cure you." Cynder said.
Then Cynder took the rock shards and iron shards out of Ronald's wounds and then cleaned the wounds with grass and water and the wounds stopped bleeding and then Cynder licked the wounds and then Ronald's bruises healed up and disappeared.
"Wow, I feel so much better! Thank you so much, Cynder!" Ronald said.
"You're welcome, Ronald. That's what sweethearts are for." Cynder said.
"Anyway, Ronald, these rocks are far more dangerous than the rocks at Veron Mountain, Teron Mountain, and Heron Mountain because these rocks are too sharp and I know that you love to protect Cynder but you don't have to shield her with your body to protect her as you can shield her by shooting out balls at the piercing rocks so you don't die here and it was by luck that you survived those rockslides in those mountains." Zap said.
Then fifteen piercing rocks went flying towards Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap.
"Can you please show it to me what you are talking about, Zap?" Ronald asked.
"Certainly." Zap said.
"And we will too!" Sunburn and Camo said.
Then Sunburn shot out five Fire Balls and Camo shot out five Grass Balls and Zap shot out five Water Balls and destroyed the fifteen piercing rocks.
"I see. So, I could have done that. Thanks, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap." Ronald said.
"You're welcome, Ronald." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.

"However, there's another way to destroy them." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
"How?" Cynder asked.
"Watch." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
Then eighty piercing rocks went flying towards Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap and then they hit the Poison Barrier and got destroyed.
"Wait, so we don't have to do anything?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, we don't, Cynder. Not as long as we have this barrier surrounding us." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
"That was the last of the piercing rocks. I know it because it ended." Whirlwind said.
"But there are still piercing irons that we have to worry about!" Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
Then fifteen piercing irons went flying towards Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap.

"That was the last of the piercing irons. I know it because it ended." Whirlwind said.
"Then let's continue on." Spyro said.
Then Whirlwind stopped using her Poison Barrier.
"I need a break." Whirlwind said.
Then twenty seconds later.
"Okay. I'm ready." Whirlwind said.
"Then let's go!" Spyro said.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap continued walking on the path until they got to the First Floor.
"It looks like the other traps exploded when they finished shooting out all of their amo. I'm not sure why Xavier said to leave them be. But we better reload up these two traps. Luckily, these traps cannot be disabled by any other element, only the light and dark elements." The Big Griffon said.
"Look, we have to stop them from reloading the traps!" Ronald and Cynder said.
"Then let's do it!" Spyro said.
Then the Big Griffon turned around.
"What's this? So, you seven think you can stop Tabitha, Shelly, and Xavier?" The Big Griffon asked.
"Yes, we can!" Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.

Stay tuned to find out!
Note: The spirit of the deceased Poison Guardian appears here.
Other Note: The magma and aqua elements are revealed to have the ability to dilute poison.
Another Note: Ronald and Cynder are revealed to have created potions in the past to dilute poison as well as creating magma and aqua to dilute poison.
Another Note: Ronald protected Cynder again but the sharp rocks and sharp irons cut him, making bloody wounds on his body, but Cynder manages to cure him. This is a reference to Shining New Beginning where Ronald's past is revealed and when Ronald got bloody wounds when playing in Veron Forest, Teron Forest, and Heron Forest respectively when he was five years before even meeting Cynder.
