Walter was fazed but managed to shake it off.
"That was a truly impressive battle, you seven, and it was even better than the last two times and I see that you have truly mastered the ground element, Ronald and Cynder! I have been waiting for that to happen and it did!" Walter said.
"Now that we defeated you again and saved Volt, now we can leave and go back to the Mystical City." Spyro said.
"No, you don't." Walter said.
"Why not?" Spyro asked.
"Because you didn't defeat me and just weakened me again but you're close to actually defeating me so we will have to battle again." Walter said.
"Then let's do it!" Spyro said.
"We will but not right now as I want you to meet me somewhere else." Walter said.
"Where? There's no other place we can go, so where?" Spyro asked.
"Well, have you heard about the dangerous place that the rumors talked about?" Walter asked.
"Yes, we did." Spyro said.
"Well, you're in luck because the rumors are true and the Rocky Crossing Depth has an exit that leads to that dangerous place and the exit is just up ahead. However, I'm not gonna tell you anymore because I want you to be surprised but I expect that you will meet me at the top of that dangerous place. Farewell for now." Walter said.
Then Walter turned around and left the area.
"The dangerous area seems to be up ahead." Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"We got this far so maybe we can go to the dangerous place but we need to ask our parents if we can go to it first and you and Whirlwind will have to ask our parents for permission as well as our friends' parents before you and Whirlwind can go there, Spyro." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Ronald and Cynder are right, Spyro and Whirlwind." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said.
Then Ronald's communicator rang and Ronald answered it.
"Ronald, are you there?" Thorn and Saphira asked.
"Yes, I am, and so is my girlfriend, Cynder, and the rest of my friends too." Ronald said.
"Ronald is right, Thorn and Saphira, and we're all here, safe and sound." Cynder said.
"That's great news! Ethan and Kris, everyone is fine!" Thorn and Saphira said.
"That's great news, Thorn and Saphira!" Ethan and Kris said.
"And we heard it too!" Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne, Kosh, and Emma said.
"Um, Father and Mother, I have something to tell you." Ronald said.
"What is it?" Thorn and Saphira asked.
"We met Flame and Volt down here again!" Ronald said.
"Ronald is right and we helped them find the micro tablets!" Cynder said.
"And we discovered something about the outlaw!" Spyro said.
"What is it?" Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne, Kosh, and Emma asked.
"The outlaw has already left the area before our friends got here and that means you were right!" Spyro said.
"We see." Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne, Kosh, and Emma said.
"So, why did you call us?" Spyro asked.
"Well, tell us where you are first." Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne said.
"We're in the Rocky Crossing Depth and this is the place where we helped Flame and Volt and after we helped them, we met Walter again and then we fought and defeated him to save Volt because he was planning to reborn the Shroodians to corrupt Volt and we did but Walter wants us to meet him at the dangerous place and he told us the rumors about the dangerous place that the Rocky Crossing leads to us true." Spyro said.
"We see." Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne, Kosh, and Emma said.
"Father and Mother, can I go to the dangerous place?" Ronald asked.
"Yes, you can." Thorn and Saphira said.
"Father and Mother, can I go to the dangerous place?" Cynder asked.
"Yes, you can." Ethan and Kris said.
"Father and Mother, can I go to the dangerous place?" Sunburn asked.
"Yes, you can." Bayou and Arizona said.
"Father and Mother, can I go to the dangerous place?" Camo asked.
"Yes, you can." David and Cayenne said.
"Father and Mother, can I go to the dangerous place?" Zap asked.
"Yes, you can." Kosh and Emma said.
"Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, Kosh, and Emma, can we go to the dangerous place?" Spyro and Whirlwind asked.
"Yes, you can, Spyro and Whirlwind, but make sure to inform us what this dangerous place is." Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne, Kosh, and Emma said.
"We will!" Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"Good. Well, good luck and be safe." Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, Kris, Bayou, Arizona, David, Cayenne, Kosh, and Emma said.
Then Ronald ended the call.
"Now that we have permission, we can continue on." Ronald and Cynder said.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap walked thirty two steps forward and then walked on the path and stopped walking when they saw a marigold pegasus up ahead.
"Who's that?" Spyro asked quietly.
"That's Ala." Ronald and Cynder said quietly.
"That's Ala?" Spyro asked quietly.
"Yes, that's her. We'll have to move quietly if we want to get past her." Ronald and Cynder said quietly.
"Why?" Spyro asked quietly.
"Because if she notices us then she will prevent us from exiting the crossing and going to the dangerous place." Ronald and Cynder said quietly.
"But don't we have permission?" Spyro asked quietly.
"We do but Ala will still prevent us from leaving even if we have permission from adults so we will have to move quietly so we don't get her attention." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Got it." Spyro said quietly.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap walked quietly thirty two steps forward but Ala somehow heard them and turned to them.
"Halt! Who goes there?!" Ala asked.
"What do we do now?" Spyro asked quietly.
"There's no other choice. We'll have to tell Ala who we are because we can't hide from her and no one can fool her." Ronald and Cynder said.
"It's us, Ronald and Cynder, Ala." Ronald and Cynder said, defeated.
"And us, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap." Sunburn, Camo, and Zap said, defeated.
"And I am Spyro." Spyro said.
"And I am Whirlwind." Whirlwind said.
"Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap, what are you all doing here?! You know that it's forbidden to come into the Rocky Cave and into the Rocky Crossing! We'll have to talk with your bosses about following certain instructions!" Ala said.
"But we…" Ronald and Cynder said.
"Don't give me excuses, Ronald and Cynder, give me results!" Ala said.
"But…" Spyro said.
"Silence, Spyro!" Ala said.
"Jeez, talk about a change of face." Sparx said.
"I know, right? But maybe we can convince her to let Ronald and Cynder by telling her that Ronald and Cynder told us about her and that she is a Nice Gal." Whirlwind said.
"Um, Ala, Ronald and Cynder told us about you and that you are really nice but maybe they were wrong about you." Sparx said.
"No, not like that, Sparx. Like this!" Whirlwind said.
Then Whirlwind took a deep breath and then let it out.
"Um, Ala, we heard a lot about you from Ronald and Cynder and they told us that you are a really Nice Gal because you helped Dulce and Tammy get back together, helped Ronald and Cynder find the Secret Of The Ruins, and helped Spyro during his quest, but right now, you aren't being nice, so can you please let Ronald and Cynder tell you why they're here in the first place?" Whirlwind asked.
Ala took this into consideration and sighed.
"You're right, Whirlwind, I should be treating them nicely. My actions come from the fact that I'm so worried about my friends." Ala said.
"Ronald and Cynder, sorry for interrupting you. Please explain why you're here." Ala said.
"We're only here because Walter led us here." Ronald and Cynder said.
"I thought I told you that you shouldn't trust Walter because his plans are really evil." Ala said.
"We know, Ala, and you're not the only one who said that because Bubble and Ember did that too and also because Flame and Volt did that as well and sorry for not explaining to you earlier but we trust Walter because he always sends out a warm up battle before we battled him and then he healed us up before we fought him and he sends out non-evil enemies and animals, telling us that we have to fight them, even if we don't like it, and he even made us fight each other but sended a note to our parents and to the other Saviors' members, saying that he was the was one who caused the bruises and just twelve hours ago, he told us that Flag and his team sealed up the Golem and the Sentinel so they can be released in the future to prepare us all for the fight against Malefor and he also said that Flag was aware of Malefor because he sensed that Malefor will become evil and Susie, Felix, Eliza, Micheal, Natalie, Grady, Hayley, Morado, Verde, Blanco, Negra, Marone, Rosa, Rojo, Azul, Amarillio, Naranja, Carmesi, Marina, Lavanda, Celadón, Escarlata, Violeta, Ámbar, Granata, Oro, Plata, Bronce, Cobre, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Citrine, Topaz, Kunzite, Amethyst, Axinite, Petalite, Hematite, Apatite, Chrysolite, Sean, Flake, Flack, and Ensign sensed it too and they told the Guardians this but they just told them that they were making a random predicament so Flag and his team went to Goliath, Morgan, Topsy, and Jenna and told them about Malefor becoming evil and they believed them and told them that the Guardians want to give Malefor a chance and decided that if they can't stop Malefor during their time then they could make preparations to help the Purple Dragon and his team in the future and some of those plans were sealing the Golem and the Sentinel so they can be awaken in the future." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Those fools! What were they thinking?! If it happened once, then it would have most likely happened again!" Ala said.
"It seems to me that you don't like the Guardians." Sparx said.
"No, I do, but the only thing that I don't like is the decisions they made." Ala said.
"You don't have to rub it in, Ala. I heard the fact that the Guardians had always known my parents from the first four friends I ever made, who are Bubble, Ember, Flame, and Volt, before my adventure began." Spyro said.
"Well, I have to tell you something first. Flag wasn't truly your ancestor at first." Ala said.
"How? But the Guardians said that he was and Hellum and Jallon said that too so does that mean that they were wrong?" Spyro asked.
"No, they weren't. In fact, let me show you something." Ala said.
Then Ala showed a broken eggshell that was shaped like a flag.
"You remember this, don't you?" Ala asked.
"Yes, I do, that's a piece of my egg that broke off when I hatched, but why do you have it?" Spyro asked.
"Because Susie, aka Whirlwind's past counterpart and the original Cynder's past counterpart, told me to get a piece of your egg after you hatched but I asked the Guardians, your parents, and Flash and Nina to get one before I did such a thing." Ala said.
"Well, I see, but why did Susie tell you do it?" Spyro asked.
"Because so I can show you the full truth about your predecessor and ancestor, Flag, Spyro, and I'm going to show it to you now." Ala answered.
Then Ala turned the piece around and there was a gray footprint on Spyro's flag-shaped piece.
"Why is there somebody else's footprint on my eggshell piece?" Spyro asked.
"That's not just somebody else's footprint, that's Flag's footprint, Spyro!" Ronald and Cynder said.
"Why did Flag leave his footprint on my egg?" Spyro asked.
"Because that's what gray dragons do to show that they have made their choice and just like Thorn, Saphira, Ethan, and Kris said, Flag chose you to be his successor and this footprint passed down the energy from Flag to your own egg and that's why Flag is your ancestor, Spyro." Ala said.
"Are you saying that Flag chose me to be his descendant and successor?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, I am, and he did." Ala said.
"But why?" Spyro asked.
"You need to ask the Guardians that question." Ala said.
"Okay, I will." Spyro said.
"Now, why did you come here?" Ala asked.
"We want to see the dangerous place, so can we please see it?" Ronald and Cynder asked.
"Nope." Ala said.
"But we have permission from our own parents to see the dangerous place, so can we please see it?" Ronald and Cynder asked.
"Nope." Ala said.
"Pretty please?" Ronald and Cynder asked.
"Nope." Ala said.
"Pretty pretty please?" Ronald and Cynder asked.
"Nope." Ala said.
Then Ronald and Cynder did the puppy dog eyes.
"What are Ronald and Cynder doing?" Spyro asked.
"They're doing the puppy dog eyes." Zap answered.
"I can't resist those eyes. Maybe it will be okay to let them all see the dangerous place." Ala said to herself.
"Alright, Ronald and Cynder, you two and your friends can go to the dangerous place but I just didn't think that you would be ready for that because you're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet." Ala said.
Then Ronald and Cynder stopped doing the puppy dog eyes.
"Actually, we are, thanks to Spyro." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Oh, you are, then why didn't you say so earlier?" Ala asked.
"Um…" Ronald and Cynder said.
"Please don't answer that. I have heard about it but I didn't believe it because you two were in a forbidden love." Ala said.
"Well, the thing is…" Spyro said.
Then Spyro explained everything to Ala.
"I see. So, that is what happened. Well, I can allow my friends to go here but I'm not sure about you and Whirlwind, considering the dangerous place and the dangerous time of the day, Spyro." Ala said.
"Why not?" Spyro asked.
"To start things off, I didn't want my friends to see this dangerous place because I didn't want them to go to it and today is the Day Of The Celestial Suns which means that you must prepare for the worst because the Day Of Eternal Lightness draws nigh." Ala said.
"That doesn't sound good." Sparx said.
"It isn't and that's why nobody is allowed to go past this exit and enter the cave and the crossing and I work for the Renaissance Force Bureau which is why I'm allowed here." Ala said.
"Then why are Bubble, Ember, Flame, and Volt here?" Spyro asked.
"Because I hired them and the reason why I hired them is because they wanted to find out if the rumors were true about a monster here and I found them here in the same place where you and Whirlwind are right now, including Ronald and his girlfriend, Cynder, and their friends, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap, with you and Whirlwind, so I basically hired them after they told me the reason why they're there in the first place and we all did find this monster, who is just a male dragon, but he is an outlaw." Ala said.
"I see." Spyro said.
"If you would like, I could take you to see this dangerous place but can you please tell me what happened earlier?" Ala asked.
"I will." Spyro said.
"Then follow me." Ala said.
Then Ala turned around.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, Zap, and Ala walked and exited the Rocky Crossing Depth.
