Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were walking up the stairs in the Sky Fortress until they got to the Sky Fortress Pinnacle.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap walked thirty two steps forward.
Then the light turned on and revealed a big Sky Realm Dragon, who has a crown on her head, sitting on her throne.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Purple Dragon Spyro and his former nemesis, the Blue Unicorn And Dragon Hybrid Whirlwind, who was the Dark Master's former servant, and I see that you brought your other members as well." The Sky Realm Dragon Leader said.
"Um, who are you?" Spyro asked.
"I'm Queen Aerosion, Queen Of The Sky Realm Dragons. And the one next to me is my oldest daughter, Skyfull. And the one next to Skyfull is my second oldest daughter, Ibis. And the one next to Ibis is my youngest daughter, Limpid." Aerosion said.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap bowed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, your majesties." Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"I'm impressed with your manners, Spyro and Whirlwind. You certainly know how to show royalty some respect. And you don't have to call me, 'Your Majesty', or, 'Your Highness', Spyro and Whirlwind. You can call me Aerosion and you don't have to bow." Aerosion said.
Then Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap stopped bowing.
"And it's nice to see you two again, Ronald and Cynder. It's been a long time since we last met." Aerosion said.
"Yes, it has, and it's nice to see you again, Aerosion." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Have you met her before?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, we did, in the Sky Castle in the Sky Realm." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Yes, they did and I told you two that you don't need to bow and the same thing goes for the other three, though I met Sunburn, Camo, and Zap in the Sky Battlefield, but that's not the point of it." Aerosion said.
"Yes, you did, Aerosion, but we still like to show respect and Sunburn, Camo, and Zap do too." Ronald and Cynder said.
"I see. Anyway, I hope that you two can impress me again just like you did before. That was a brilliant and perfect display of teamwork that you showed me before and you had beaten everything that I've thrown at you including fighting back against me and not holding anything back when I was not holding anything back." Aerosion said.
"What is Aerosion talking about?" Spyro asked.
"She's talking about a tournament that she placed us in on September 1st, 1997, in the Sky Castle." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Yes, I am. Ronald and Cynder defeated every machine operated vehicle that I've thrown at them: the Sky Minibus, the Sky Bus, the Sky Minivan, the Sky Van, and the Helicopter, all by themselves!" Aerosion said.
"Wait, Really?" Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked.
"Yes, it's really real." Aerosion said.
"That's incredible!" Spyro and Whirlwind said.
"You're joking." Sparx said.
"No, I'm serious. If I had them then I would use them right now to crush anyone in a tournament but I don't." Aerosion said.
Then the Sky Realm Dragons brought the parts of the destroyed vehicles to Queen Aerosion.
"You see?" Aerosion asked.
"Yes, I see. But let me smell it." Spyro said.
Then Spyro sniffed the machines and the machines smelled like limes and strawberries.
"They smelled like limes and strawberries." Spyro said.
"Uh, Cynder, what is Ronald's favorite fruit?" Spyro asked.
"Ronald's favorite fruit is lime." Cynder answered.
"I see. So, that means that you two really did destroy these machines." Spyro said.
"Yes, we did." Ronald and Cynder said.
"That's why I don't allow anyone to go here unless they go through hard battles without anyone healing them beforehand because I didn't test their strength and Ronald and Cynder were the only exceptions at first because they defeated and destroyed my machine operated vehicles and also because they defeated me in the Sky Stadium when I was not holding anything back but I had to sent some strong enemies that I had already captured in the Sky Battlefield to face Sunburn, Camo, and Zap because my vehicles were destroyed but they were able to overcome them and they defeated me too in the Sky Office." Aerosion said.
"I see." Spyro said.
"But Sparx wasn't wrong there because I didn't believe that they could defeat my vehicles and when they did, I was shocked because I thought that it was impossible for it to happen so I closed my eyes for ten seconds and then reopened them, hoping that it was just my imagination, but it wasn't." Aerosion said.
"I see." Spyro said.
"Anyway, do you have any questions?" Aerosion asked.
"Yes, I do." Spyro said.
"What is it?" Aerosion asked.
"Did you really cause Ronald and Cynder to leave Baram Village by sending threats to their parents' phones?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, I did, but I was only one of the creatures who did that." Aerosion said.
"Why would you do such a thing?!" Whirlwind asked.
"Well, I have my reasons for it but I can't tell you anything yet." Aerosion said.
"I see. Well, that's a bummer." Whirlwind said.
"Well, can I ask one more question?" Spyro asked.
"Well, you can but I won't answer it." Aerosion said.
"Did you chain Ronald and Cynder together?" Spyro asked.
"Sorry, but I can't answer that question." Aerosion said.
"I see. Well, that's a bummer." Spyro said.
"Anyway, let's get to why you're all here and you're here for the Sky Orb, correct?" Aerosion asked.
"Yes, we are, Aerosion." Spyro said.
"That's what I thought. However, you can't get the Sky Orb unless you defeat me in a battle!" Aerosion said.
"Then let's battle!" Spyro said.
"We will but I want to make it fair to you so we won't battle now." Aerosion said.
"Then what do you want us to do?" Spyro asked.
"Well, do you know why Sky Realm Dragons are weak to the fire element but not to the other elements?" Aerosion asked.
"No. Why?" Spyro asked.
"Well, it's because of this." Aerosion said and then pressed a button, showing a visual screen and the screen showed a red ovoid.
"What's that?" Spyro asked.
"That's the Sky Source. It's because of that that the only element that can affect us is the fire element. If you can destroy it then you will be able to fight me with all your elements. However, the Sky Source is hidden in my fire-machine-operated vehicle called the Sky Train. If you could destroy the Sky Train, then the Sky Source will be destroyed too because the Sky Source operates the Sky Train, but the Sky Train is in the Sky Mines." Aerosion explained.
"Then why are you telling us that? We could easily go to the Sky Mines and find the Sky Train and destroy it, so why are you telling us that?" Spyro asked.
"Well, to make it fair to you but you won't be able to enter the Sky Mines if you go right now." Aerosion said.
"Why not?" Spyro asked.
"Because the doors are closed." Aerosion said.
"Then where's the key to open them?" Spyro asked.
"I'm afraid that there's no key to open them." Aerosion said.
"Then how do we open the doors?" Spyro asked.
"The only way to open the doors is to defeat Skycoyote but Skycoyote is in one of my ships. However, Skycoyote won't fight you unless you complete a tournament so I will place you in a tournament. My niece, Carnelian, will tell you what you need to do." Aerosion said.
"Wait, you're gonna place us in a tournament by bringing us to a ship?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, I am." Aerosion said.
"Then how are you going to bring us to a ship? Are you going to knock us out?" Spyro asked.
"No, I won't. Ronald won't even allow anyone to hurt his girlfriend, Cynder, so I won't do that but I would have done it if you had just come with Whirlwind, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap so I would do a different method." Aerosion said.
Then the visual screen turned off and faded away.
Then two gas machines went up and sprayed the ground with sleep gas and filled the arena with sleep gas, making Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, Zap, and Sparx lay down on the ground and fall asleep, and the sleep gas disappeared.
"Bring Skymuth here!" Aerosion said.
"Yes, Queen Aerosion." The Sky Realm Dragons said.
Then Skymuth came and stopped next to the Sky Fortress Pinnacle.
Then Aerosion and the Sky Realm Dragons grabbed Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, Zap, and Sparx and then brought them to Skymuth and entered it.
What's going to happen next?
