Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, and Zap were walking up the stairs in the Ice Fortress until they got to the Ice 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 Ice Realm Dragon, who has a crown on her head.
"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 Ice Realm Dragon Leader said.
"Um, who are you? Well, I know you are but Whirlwind doesn't know so can you please tell us who you are again?" Spyro asked.
"Very well, then I will introduce myself and my daughters again. I'm Queen Glacier, Queen Of The Ice Realm Dragons. And the one next to me is my oldest daughter, Snowfall. And the one next to Snowfall is my second oldest daughter, Mink. And the one next to Mink is my youngest daughter, Crystal." Glacier 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 two 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 Glacier and you don't have to bow." Glacier 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, at least for you two with each other." Glacier said.
"Yes, it has, and it's nice to see you again, Glacier." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Have you two met her with each other before?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, we did, in the Ice Castle in the Ice Realm." Ronald and Cynder said.
"I remember that! That's the place where I fought the Savage Soarer!" Spyro said.
"Yes, that's correct, Spyro, and when Glacier tried to pit you against me." Ronald said.
"Yes, I remember that as well." Spyro said.
"Well, I have been there once before so it didn't bother me." Ronald said.
"I see." Spyro said.
"And I have met her again in the Ice Camp after I left the Dragon Temple to look for Ronald after you and I defeated the Ice Spider and after Ronald had left the Dragon Temple, which was seven days after you freed him from the corrupted Whirlwind's corruption, Spyro, but because I told Glacier that I was passing by, she didn't captured me but this is not to show to off or to boast it, I'm just stating a fact." Cynder said.
"I see." Spyro said.
"So, have you really met her before, Spyro?" Whirlwind asked.
"Yes, I did, Whirlwind, three days later after I freed Ronald from the corrupted yours corruption." Spyro said.
"Yes, he did." Glacier said.
"And did you two really meet her with each other before, Ronald and Cynder?" Whirlwind asked.
"Yes, we did since what we told Spyro is all true." 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 Sunburn, Camo, and Zap, though I met Sunburn, Camo, and Zap in the Ice Battlefield, but that's not the point of it." Glacier said.
"Yes, you did, Glacier, 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." Glacier said.
"What is Glacier talking about?" Spyro asked.
"She's talking about a tournament that she placed us in on September 2nd, 1997, in the Ice Castle." Ronald and Cynder said.
"Yes, I am. Ronald and Cynder defeated every machine operated vehicle that I've thrown at them: the Ice Minibus, the Ice Bus, the Ice Minivan, the Ice Van, and the Hovercraft, all by themselves!" Glacier said.
"Wait, Really?" Sunburn, Camo, and Zap asked.
"Yes, it's really real." Glacier 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 to crush anyone in a tournament but I don't." Glacier said.
Then the Ice Realm Dragons brought the parts of the destroyed vehicles to Queen Glacier.
"You see?" Glacier 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, just to be clear, please tell me what is Ronald's favorite fruit again?" Spyro asked.
"Sure, Spyro, and 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 Ice Stadium when I was not holding anything back but I had to sent some strong enemies that I had already captured in the Ice Battlefield to face Sunburn, Camo, and Zap because my vehicles were destroyed but they were able to overcome them and defeated me in the Ice Office too." Glacier 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." Glacier said.
"I see." Spyro said.
"Anyway, do you have any questions?" Glacier asked.
"Yes, I do." Spyro 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." Glacier said.
"Why would you do such a thing?!" Whirlwind asked.
"Well, I have my reasons but I can't tell you anything." Glacier 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." Glacier said.
"Did you chain Ronald and Cynder together?" Spyro asked.
"Sorry, but I can't answer that question." Glacier 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 Ice Orb, correct?" Glacier asked.
"Yes, we are, Glacier." Spyro said.
"That's what I thought. However, you can't get the Ice Orb unless you defeat me in a battle!" Glacier said.
"Then let's battle!" Spyro said.
"We will but I want to make it fair to you so we won't battle now." Glacier said.
"Then what do you want us to do?" Spyro asked.
"Well, do you know why Ice Realm Dragons are weak to the ground element but not to the other elements?" Glacier asked.
"No. Why?" Spyro asked.
"Well, it's because of this." Glacier said and then pressed a button, showing a visual screen and the screen showed an orange ovoid.
"What's that?" Spyro asked.
"That's the Ice Source. It's because of that that the only element that can affect us is the ground element. If you can destroy it then you would be able to fight me with all your elements. However, the Ice Source is hidden in my ground-machine-operated vehicle called the Ice Train. If you could destroy the Ice Train, then the Ice Source will be destroyed too because the Ice Source operates the Ice Train, but the Ice Train is in the Ice Mines." Glacier explained.
"Then why are you telling us that? We could easily go to the Ice Mines and find the Ice 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 Ice Mines if you go right now." Glacier said.
"Why not?" Spyro asked.
"Because the doors are closed." Glacier said.
"Then where is the key to open them?" Spyro asked.
"I'm afraid that there's no key to open them." Glacier said.
"Then how do we open the doors?" Spyro asked.
"The only way to open the doors is to defeat Icecoyote but Icecoyote is in one of my ships. However, Icecoyote won't fight you unless you complete a tournament so I will place you in a tournament. My nephew, Turtle, will tell you what you need to do." Glacier said.
"Wait, you're gonna place us in a tournament by bringing us to a ship?" Spyro asked.
"Yes, I am." Glacier asked.
"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." Glacier 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 area 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 Icemuth here!" Glacier said.
"Yes, Queen Glacier." The Ice Realm Dragons said.
Then Icemuth came and stopped next to the Ice Fortress Pinnacle.
Then Glacier and the Ice Realm Dragons grabbed Spyro, Whirlwind, Ronald, Cynder, Sunburn, Camo, Zap, and Sparx and brought them to Icemuth.
What's going to happen next?
