Lol, nothing to see here, now go READ!

The group of dragonets was winging their way toward the Sky Kingdom, leaving jade mountain far behind them.

"So what do you guys think of the rumors?" Starflight asked the group.

Sunny looked at him from where she was flying, "What rumors?"

"Apparently there is a civil war going on right now in the Sky Kingdom over the throne," Starflight answered her.

"What! Why?" Sunny asked, shocked at what he said.

"Our fiery friend over here apparently hurt Scarlet so bad that everyone was sure Scarlet was dead, so Princess Ruby took up the mantle as queen but the now living Scarlet didn't like that very much," Starflight explained.

"I'll fucking do it again," Peril said with a smile on her face, remembering Scarlet's screams.

"Either way, so apparently there was a split in the SkyWings between who is the true queen and it's causing a civil war," Starflight finished.

"Why don't Ruby and Scarlet duke it out like queens always do?" Sunny asked him.

Starflight shrugged his shoulders, "Not sure, seems pretty dumb to me,"

"Hey guys what's that up ahead?" Reed asked everyone.

There was a smoke cloud up ahead, just past the next ridge.

"Let's go, everyone!" Tsunami yelled, starting to flap her wings faster to gain speed.

They made it over the hill and saw a small-scale battle. There were around twenty Sky-Wings of various colors all slashing and maiming each other, blood pooling on the ground around them, and already a few dead dragons.

Clay dove out of the sky and landed in the middle of the battle and causing a small earthquake, making all the SkyWings stumble and fall over.

"This fight stops NOW!" Clay yells at the group of SkyWings.

"I am feeling a major sense of Déjà vu right now..." Icicle muttered.

A SkyWing soldier walked up to Clay, "You matter not to us MudWing, move out of the way or die!"

Peril touched down on the ground next to him, "Want to rephrase that?"

The SkyWings quickly backed up in fear, "Champion Peril!" one of the SkyWings shouted, "We thought you defected from the SkyKingdom?"

"I did, found something better to do," Peril said excitedly.

"And what would that be, devil? Killing more insistent dragons?" One of the SkyWings said furiously, "You already crippled Queen Scarlet, why can't you just go fall off a cliff and die!"

Clay's head shot to the dragon that said that, "Watch your mouth!"

"Or what MudWing, what are you going to do?" the SkyWing said, getting up in Clay's face.

"Im going to beat you half-" Clay was cut off when Anemone landed in between them.

"Now now Clay, this poor SkyWing doesn't need to be beaten within an inch of his life just because he doesn't know any better," Anemone said like she was scolding a child.

"Move," was all that Clay said.

"Who is this SeaWing filth?" the SkyWing poorly asked.

Anemone's smile was now gone, replaced by an angry look.

"You know what Anemone, have FUN!" Clay said, stepping back.

Anemone turned to the SkyWing, "You want to repeat that?"

"Who are you, you piece of SeaWing fil-" the SkyWing was cut off by Anemone.

"Silence" Anemone muttered.

The SkyWing shut up, not being able to speak, a scared look on his face.

"My name is Anemone... Princess Anemone," Aneone said walking up to the scared SkyWing, "Princess Anemone the ANIMUS!"

All of Queen Scarlets SkyWings started to slowly shuffle backward, they were now dealing with a flamescale and an animus. Probably the worst combination in dragon kind to fight against.

Anemone grabbed the scared SkyWing's snout and dragged him down to her level, "Here is what you are going to do, I enchant this dragon and his friends here to leave," Anemone paused before continuing, "He and his friends will never fight for Scarlet again."

All the SkyWings froze up, turned around, and flew away, not being able to say a word.

Ruby's dragons sat there shocked and worried for their safety. Were all these new dragons on their side? Who were they?

Starflight was now on the ground and as if he was reading their minds, he answered their questions, "Hello, we would like an audience with Queen Ruby?"

The SkyWing stepped back in fear for his queen, "What for?"

Starflight put on a kind face, "We are the dragonets of destiny, and we just want to talk to her about the sandwing war," Starflight explained as nice as he could. This dragon was scared, don't need to worry him even more.

The dragon nodded and re-gained his composure, "Sure, but don't think just because you have Peril and that animus on your side, that we won't try to defend our queen."

Starflight nodded to him, "Thank you, this is very kind of you."

The SkyWing just nodded and looked to the rest of the troops, "Get ready to leave, pick up those who are dead and injured.

Clay was talking to Peril in a hushed voice, "I am sorry that he said that to you,"

Peril gave him a smile, "There is nothing you can do about it, I have come to accept that Scarlet has forever painted a bad image on me,"

Clay shook his head, "It doesn't matter, they shouldn't be saying rude things like that!"

Peril just shrugged her shoulders, "All I can do now is roll with the punches and keep on trying to do better,"

Clay gave her a smile, "Let's go, the Sky Kingdom awaits... I guess"

They took off along with the SkyWings that had picked up their dead, carrying the dead's bodies back to the Kingdom.

They were already on the border of the kingdom so it was just a short flight into the kingdom.

flying over the kingdom, signs of battle all throughout the kingdom with building smoldering and smoking. The dragons flew onto the Palace courtyard. There were hundreds of SkyWings patrolling around it all the time.

The dead were laid down in the courtyard, and the dragon that lead the dragonets stopped them at the gate of the palace.

"Look, I don't care who you are, there is no way I am going to allow this many dragons in all at once, only two may enter to see Queen Ruby," The SkyWing ordered the group.

Glory looks over to Sunny, "I guess it's our turn to meet a queen first, right Sunny?" Glory said sarcastically.

Sunny gave her a smile and walked on in with her, walking behind the guard through the palace gate.

They walked through the palace, they were looking around at the sights before them, they hadn't been here yet when they were raiding the Sky Kingdom, they were too busy in the arena.

There were decorations everywhere, lining the walls and even on the ceiling. There were paintings of past queens, dating all the way back from the beginning of the kingdom. There were different objects that were made and lined with gold. It was obvious that the SkyWings was a very rich tribe with all the treasure just on the walls.

They made it to the door of the throne room. The guard letting them through the other guards that were guarding the door.

The guard walked ahead of the dragonets into the throne room, bowing before the red SkyWing.

Glory and Sunny also bowed before the SkyWing, taking in her appearance.

The red SkyWing was surprisingly... small. She wasn't much bigger than Glory and she didn't appear to hardly have any muscles. But that didn't stop her from looking royal. Just by the way she was standing made her look royal. Her posture practically radiated confidence in what she was doing.

Ruby looked over all the dragons in the room, "You may all rise," Her vision then turned over to the Guard that guided the dragonets into the room, "Harrier, what are you doing with these dragonets?"

Harrier stood up along with the dragonets, "My Queen, these dragonets claim to be the Dragonets of Destiny,"

Ruby frowned "there is a few issues with this," Ruby said rolling her eyes, "First off, that's a RainWing,"

Glory frowned at the way she said RainWing.

"And second off, where is the rest of the group?" Ruby asked Harrier.

"I left them outside, I felt like their group was too large so I only let two of them inside" Harrier answered.

Ruby scoffed, "At least you had enough confidence to do that," Ruby looked down to the dragonets, "Allright, so... you claim to be the Dragonets of Destiny?"

Sunny nodded, "Yes, that would be correct," Sunny cut off Glory from saying anything, knowing that Glory was still insulted from the "RainWing" quote from earlier.

Ruby sighed, "I'll have you know that we know for a fact what kind of dragonets are in the Dragonets of Destiny," Ruby paused before continuing, "And there were no RainWings in the group that raided us,"

Glory started to laugh, "That's funny, I remember tying up about twenty or so SkyWings after I beat them to a pulp!"

Ruby was confused and looked over to one of the guards on the right side of her throne room, who was now sweating bullets.

Ruby had a sneaking suspicion and looked back to the guard in Infront of her, "Is there something you want to say to me, Harrier?"

Harrier gulped in worry, "No your majesty!"

Glory hissed, "Seriously, you lied to your own queen so you didn't have to admit that you were beaten by a RainWing!"

"No such thing happened!" Harrier roared.

"SILENCE!" Ruby roared in a voice that was way louder than a dragon her size should be able to produce.

"RainWing, may I please have your name?" Ruby asked her kindly this time.

"Glory, my name is Glory," Glory answered truthfully.

Ruby nodded, "I know for a fact that every Dragon in your group is supposed to have a "Power" of some sorts, If you are truly a Dragonet of Destiny, you should have some type of power,"

Glory gave her a nod and waved one of her hands into the air, a small vine growing out of her satchel and started to wrap around her body.

Ruby looked at the sight in shock but then her vision hardened. All the guards were now quietly panicking.

"All the guards in this room, leave so I can start to think of a punishment for all of you," Ruby ordered.

All the guards deflated in defeat. "Your majesty before I leave, I wanted to say that they had Scarlets old champion in their group," Harrier said before leaving.

Ruby's vision shot back to the dragonets, "WHAT?"

Sunnie's vision hardened, "She will not be an issue,"

Ruby scoffed, "The hundreds of dead dragons that she killed say otherwise,"

"She was forced to do it by Scarlet," Sunny said, trying to defend her friend.

Ruby glared at the little SandWing, "Please then, tell me how one of the most powerful dragons in this world was forced to do anything?"

"Blackmail," Glory said simply.

Ruby gave her a confused look.

"As you probably know, Scarlet got ahold of Peril right from the egg, practically raising her." Glory explained.

Ruby gave her a nod, knowing this part of the Champions story.

"Well, from the moment that Peril was born, Scarlet made her eat a "black rock" that Peril had to have to survive," Sunny explained.

"I heard about this from listening to my mother's conversations, what does this have to do with anything?" Ruby asked.

"We are getting there," Glory said, before continuing, "What nobody else knew besides Scarlet, Peril didn't really have to have the black rocks, Scarlet was just using them to control Peril"

"This is... interesting," Ruby said shocked at the revelation.

Sunny shot up from where she was sitting, "That's not all, Peril is also a Dragonet of Destiny!"

Ruby shook her head, "That actually doesn't surprise me at all, it makes sense that Mother would want to have a Dragonet of Destiny as a toy,"

Ruby pinched the bridge of her snout, "Look, it's cool and all to meet the dragons that practically handed me the throne, but I am sure that you're not here to be sociable?"

Glory nodded her head, "Correct, we are here because we were wanting the SkyWings to stay out of the SandWing war?"

"Good thing for you I don't really want to be in the war either, too busy with this whole business with Scarlet still being alive"

Glory looked over to Sunny before continuing, "I have a plan, Well help you as long as you stay out of the SandWing war,"

Ruby leaned forwards, "I'm listening"

I am going to cut this off here, I was originally planning this chapter to be about three times as long. But I am only getting little bits of time to write on this fanfic with irl issues. Sorry, it took so long to publish this chapter. And big things are happening next chapter...
