And now...

Our special crossover adventure now continues...

UNKNOWN ANCIENT COUNCIL HALL

Kiala stepped forward out of the gather circle of elders to look down at her grandson and his companion. "It is good to see you, Kane. I know you have come here before but I was not here when you came." She lowered her head down to Kane's level. "Let me guess why you have come. You want to go challenge Spyro..." Kane shook his head to the surprise of Kiala, Noresa and the other council elders.

"No, grandmother, I have come to ask permission to go train Spyro and help him in his coming battles. As you know Spyro knows next to nothing about his heritage as a royal purple dragon. Please let me help him by teaching him about us, his people. He needs to learn in order to fully harness his powers." Blaze frowned.

"I may not be a purple dragon, Kane, but I am having a hard time believing you. Everyone here knows of your past repretation as a trouble maker. You tried to kill Spyro last time you met him. If not for your grandmother and Orcale interferring you would have succeed. No, I think you have had enough destructive fun, 'destroyer'." She growled, her eyes narrowing as she put extra emphasis on Kane's old nickname. Kane grimaced and hung his head in shame as he recalled the old name and his younger brother Malefor.

"Why must you remind me of my past, Elder Blaze? You know I am no longer like that

anymore." He said in low, depressed tone. Blaze sighed as her hard expression soften.

"This is probably the first time I have ever said this to you, Kane..." Blaze said as she paused and took a deep breath before continuing, her tone more gentle. "...but you are right. You have changed overtime. I no longer see the same bloody young purple dragon who nearly KILLED MY GRANDSON in that battledome." Her tone took on a sharp, angry note as she brought up Kane's past sin. Kane dropped his head in shame before taking a deep breath to pull himself together enough to raise head to look Blaze in the eye.

"Elder Blaze, I am deeply sorry for what I did. I know that what I did then was wrong and if I could undo what I did I would without hesitation. Your grandson didn't deserve what I did to him. Please, I humbly beg of you to accept my appology." Blaze's face creased in a warm smile as she nodded.

"Apology accepted, Kane but don't you think you should go tell my grandson in person. I am sure Spike would be happy to hear your appology." She said. Kane nodded.

"I agree, Elder Blaze. You have my word as a purple dragon that I will apologize to Spike." He said. Blaze nodded.

"Thank you, Kane." She said softly, tears in her eyes as she gestured to a stone statue of her grandson Spike who had disappeared years later after Malefor went mad with power and set on his destructive path to either takeover the world or destroy it. The Grand Temple of the Elemental Guardians that had sat in the heart of the long lost city of Talinar had been severely damaged by Malefor as he attacked the city in his rage.

Speaking of Talinar...

The ancient city, as Kane remembered, had been a beautiful place with glimering towers that reached into the sky. The ancient mountain city was unique due to the fact that parts of it sat on cliff faces that gently sloped down to the center of the city where ancient towering Grand Temple of the Guardians sat in all its regal glory. The temple had been built centuries before by their ancestors, the ancient dragons. It was their legacy and final gift to their children

/successors. The temple was surrounded by great moat and garden, which was tended to by the young Earth Guardian, Trina who kept the grounds tidy and beautiful. Trina was the youngest of the guardians since her predecessor, Lord Talzin, had died during a battle with the apes years earlier. She had been chosen and trained by Talzin himself before he died leaving her as the new Earth Guardian.

Kane remembered Trina very well as the girl Spike had a crush on. In fact, it had been her he had gone to visit that fateful day when his brother Malefor had attacked the city. Spike had been in the area where his brother had struck first. The area had been completely destroyed. A search led by Blaze had taken place but not a tace of Spike had been found. As a result of this fact, Blaze and the other elders along with the Guardians figured that he had perished. Kane sighed as he looked at the statue with a look of regret on his face.

'Why did you have to listen to me, little brother? I blame myself for inflencing you to train so hard and become so strong. Maybe... if I...' Kiala lower her head down to gently rub her neck against his making him look up at her.

"What happened to Malefor wasn't your fault, Kane. You didn't know he would embrace the dark side of his nature. So stop blaming yourself. He chose to become the monster he is now and he will have to accept the consequences that come with his choice."

"But grandma it is my fault! Spike is dead and Malefor is a monster all because of me. I failed in my duties as the elder brother. I should have been a better role model to my brother. I should have..." He said with tears in his eyes. Kiala sighed.

"No, Kane, you are not to blame. You didn't know Malefor would choose to use his power to nearly destroy our world."

"But..." Kiala shook her head silencing him

"No, buts... What happened was unfortunatebut you have to let it go and forgive yourself. I know how much you loved your brother because I..." She said, pausing as her voice tone took on a sad note and a tear rolled down her cheek. "...loved him too and still love him now as I am sure you still do. I will always remember him fondly as that loving little royal purple dragonling who was always so curious about everything. That is the Malefor I miss, Kane." Kane nodded in agreement.

"Me too, grandma, me too." He said as his memories of the past rose up in his mind's eye...

Centuries earlier, Kane had been one of the most powerful young purple dragons there was... Well that was until his baby brother was born. When Malefor's egg had been laid with the anicent rune markings everyone realized what Malefor was...

A royal purple dragon or 'sacred one'... The title was only given to those rare purple dragons that were born with the power to harness all the elements in nature. Being a Sacred One made the young royal purple dragon very special. Many looked up to such a figure for obvious reasons...

Royal purple dragons were known to possess the power to either Perserve or Destroy the entire world. Either way a new age would be born because the Royal purple dragon. So when Malefor was born the Great Council of Guardians took young Malefor's egg under their wings to protect and eventually train him as a Master Guardian when he hatched...

The highest title any elemental dragon could have which meant that the other Guardians had all chosen Malefor to one day become their leader. Which was greeted as good omen by almost everyone except the Oracle who felt troubled as she looked at his egg. 'Will you be a force for good or darkness, young dragon? Which path will you choose?"

FLASHBACK...

2,000 YEARS AGO...

Location: City of Talinar, Outside Battledome A...

The sun shines down on a young male purple dragon that lays under a large tree with a look of boredom on his face. 'Where is he?' He thoought. "Come on brother... How much longer will it take for your match to end." He sighed and then closed his purple eyes.

An hour later...

"Hey, little brother. Wake up!" A large purple male dragon said as he gently tapped his little brother on the help with a claw on his left paw. The little purple dragon slowly opened his eyes and yawned. "Sorry about that, Malefor. My match ran a little longer then I thought it would." Malefor smiled and nodded his head understanding.

"It's okay, Kane. So, big brother... did you win your match today?" Malefor asked as he started running around his big brother. "Come on... tell me... tell me!" Kane chuckled and sat on his haunches to allow his his little brother to jump on his back and hug him around his muscular neck. The little royal purple dragon always loved to praise his brother, Kane the destroyer. Always asking him questions about his matches and his nickname.

The title 'Destroyer' was Kane's nickname when he competed in the battledome competitions. The nickname had been given to him because of his battle style which was a modern version of the ancient warrior dragons. This style gave him an edge over his competition and the fact that his clan was one of the four older races of dragons. The other three were the gold, silver and the white time dragons which helped develop the battle style over the centuries. As for the competitions themsleves... They were used by each dragon clan as a friendly way to train and compete for power. This allowed each dragon to grow stronger by competing against others. Of all the current warriors, Kane was amoung the top in his gender class.

Kane's only equal was a really smart and beautiful gold dragoness named Noresa in the female class...

A female who just happened to be his best friend...

Kane lowered his head to let his little brother get back down to the ground again. "Whoa, brother, I was going to ask you how your day went first, little brother!" Kane said. "So how did your training go today?" Malefor looked down at the ground sighed.

"I messed up!" He said in a tone that told Kane that he was disappointed in himself. Malefor looked up at his brother with a frown on his face. "Rana the Ice Guardian and

Firon the Fire Guardian were both upset when I screwed up the training exercise."

"What went wrong, little brother?" Kane asked. Malefor raised his head to look his brother in the eye.

"I... I tried to use my ice breath to put out a fire but ended making the fire bigger with my fire breath. Then..." He paused as he blushed. Kane noticed and chuckled.

"What happened...?"

"Um... I don't know. All I remember is hearing someone yell 'be careful' and then getting a slap upside the head. The slap was powerful enough to knock me on my back." He said as dreamy look appear on his face. "And as I was laying on my back I looked up into the face of a beautiful angel." He said as a silly grin appear on his face. Kane smiled.

"So does this 'Angel' have a name?" Kane asked. Malefor coughed and sat down on his haunches.

"That is none of your business, brother. Angel... uh... my new friend Dana slapped me because I accidently singed her tail. I appologized to her and she accepted my appology. After that we went for a walk in the garden and then... well... uh... we talked and got better aquainted." Kane's left eye twitched as he struggle to keep himself from laughing out loud as his little brother stuttered like a idiot.

"So, dear brother, what happened between you and your new friend Dana? By the way what color was she?" Malefor turned his head away and sighed.

"That is none of your business. As to what color Dana is. She is a silver dragon, brother. Can you believe it? I met a silver dragon! Talk about good luck." Kane laughed.

"Well... well... well, my little brother met a silver dragoness named Dana..." Kane said before pausing and thinking about his brother's new friend. "Malefor, if you don't mind me asking but did Dana have any unusual rune-like markings on her scales?" Malefor cocked his head to the left in a 'thinking' pose before nodding.

"Yes, she had a beautiful set of rune markings that glowed different colors. She was..." Malefor stopped talking as he noticed Kane's expression become one of shock and awe.

"Brother? What is wrong?"

"Little brother, your new girlfriend Dana..." Malefor jumped to his feet and growled.

"Dana isn't my 'girl' friend. She is just a girl who happens to be my new friend." Kane watched his little brother's expression and just smiled that knowing smile. Malefor frowned because he knew that look on his brother's face very well. "Hey, she isn't my GIRLFRIEND, brother!"

"Sure she isn't," Kane said with sarcasm in his tone. "If what you are saying is true then why are you blushing so much. By the way, Dana didn't tell you much about herself did she?" Malefor grinned.

"She told me she was visiting with her family and that she wanted to come look at the Temple. So she came and you know... my little accident took place and well... heh... the rest is history." Kane rolled his eyes. "What?! What is with the...," Malefor rolled his own eyes. "...Eye rolling, Kane?"

"Oh nothing, dear brother." He said with with a grin. Malefor stumped his left paw into the ground hard making the earth shake slightly around the area. The small earthquake attacted the attention of a gold dragoness that landed soundlessly behind Kane.

"So, what is all the shaking?" She asked her face creased in a smile. "Did you say something to offend your brother?" Kane turned around so fast that he accidently locked lips with her. Malefor covered his face with his right paw embarassed. Kane's eyes went wide as he realized what he had just done. He pulled back so fast that he almost gave himself whiplash.

"Oh... uh... Noresa... heh heh. Sorry about that! I didn't mean..." Kane stuttered as Malefor started laughing at his brother. "Hey, stop laughing, little brother." Noresa chuckled making Kane blush. "Not you too!"

"Sorry, Kane, but you can be so silly at times. By the way..." She kissed him on his right

cheek. "Thanks for the kiss even if it was, as you say, an accident." She said in a sultry tone with that 'knowing' grin all females get when they know the truth. Kane knew that grin and took a step back making Malefor fall onto his back laughing. Kane glared at his laughing brother.

"Your not helping, dear brother!" He hissed out under his breath. Malefor stopped laughing.

"Sorry, but... ha ha ha... that was... ha ha ha... just so funny. The look on your face was..." At that moment the words froze in Malefor's throat as Dana landed and casually strolled over to where the three of them were. Malefor's face took on a goofy, dreamy look as Kane smiled.

"What were you saying, little brother?!" Kane asked as Noresa gasped at the sight of Dana the silver dragoness. She bowed her head.

"Well, I don't believe it... Dana... I didn't know you were in town. How are you doing? By the way it is a true honor to see you, your majesty." Malefor's goofy smile vanished as he heard Noresa's comment.

"Your majesty...!" He said with wide eyes as he turned to face Dana. "Dana are you...?"

Dana smiled.

"Yep, my father is leader of my clan. I thought you knew just by looking at my markings." She said as she pointed at her glowing runes which ran down both sides of her body starting at her shoulder and ending at her dual-bladed tail. Malefor's purple eyes blinked rapidly as he glance over at his brother who grinned. Malefor slapped his forehead.

'You are 'so' dead, brother' Malefor thought as he said, "I didn't know but obviously my brother did." Kane rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he started to walk away with Noresa. "Hey, where do you think you are going? I didn't get a chance to ask you about your day in the battledome." Kane chuckled as Noresa rolled her eyes.

"I fought well. In fact I fought so well that all my opponents didn't stand a chance." Malefor smiled and ran around his brother cheering making Dana and Noresa both chuckle. Kane sighed catching Malefor's attention. "Is something wrong brother?"

"No, little brother, I just think that grandma is disappointed in me. I think she wants me to focus on being a more positive role model for you instead of trying to increase my powers." He said as his face creased in a frown. "Maybe she is right and I need to retire and take better care of you." Malefor cocked his head to the left in a 'cute' questioning way.

"But... you are a good role model for me... aren't you? I mean you have helped me learn how to harness a few of my powers much sooner then I otherwise would have been able to do so. Even Magnus says so..." Kane leaned his head down touch his little brother's forehead with his own.

"Really? The Chronicler actually said that? Wow! I feel honored having one of such high stature think of me in such a way."

"As you should, young Kane." Malefor smiled as a large shadow appeared overhead. Kane, Noresa and Dana all glanced up at the armored form of the white dragon, Magnus the Chronicler. Magnus landed and as he did his armor shifted back to his normal robes. "Your brother is correct, Kane. You have been training him very well. The Guardians think so just as much as I do." Magnus said as his expression took on a solemn look. "Your mother and father would have been very proud of you, Kane." Kane sighed as he closed his eyes as tears began to fall from them...

Present...

Kane's tear filled eyes opened as he looked at Spike's statue. "I am so sorry, Spike." He whispered as Noresa walked up to him to stand next to him. "I am so sorry I failed..."

"You know something, Kane... your grandmother is right." She said softly making Kane turn his tear-filled eyes to her. "Malefor made his choice years ago. It wasn't your fault. You have to let the past go and move on with your life." Kane started to turn his head away only to be stopped by Noresa's left paw. He looked her in the eye as she pulled him into a hug. "It's okay, Kane. I know why you are sad. You were thinking about your mother and father... Weren't you?" Kane nodded as he pulled out of the hug and looked her in the eye.

"Yes, Noresa, I was. They were killed by Renara. She attacked my parents for their soul gems so she could recharge her powers by stealing theirs. I am sure you know her well...?" He hissed, anger in his tone. Noresa growled as she nodded.

"Yes, Kane, I know her very well. She was a traitor from my clan that went power mad. She wanted to gain the utimate power my clan possessed but it was forbidden because it had the potential to corrupt the one who sought it out. She was told... no, warned many times that what she sought was dangerous. She was warned that the path she was treading would lead her to her own destruction but she refused to listen. She wanted to become the most power gold dragon so she devised a plan. She planned to use her power and skill to forge a special

weapon of great power and darkness. The Scepter of Chaos...!" She said with a snarl. "No one knew about the what that cursed Scepter could do. Only Renara knew... She had used dark magic to infuse the scepter with the ability to greatly increase the power of its wielder. She planned to use it in combination with her power to overthrow the leader of my clan. Thankfully, my father found out about her plan before she had a chance to initiate it. And I am sure you know what happened to her. Am I right?" Kane nodded.

"She was banished from your clan after having her powers greatly diminished and her dark scepter destroyed."

"Yes, she was and then she disappeared and was not seen again for years until she showed up and attacked your parents who had just returned home from the Temple." She said sadly. "You were there to see the attack. Weren't you?" Kane nodded.

"Yes, I was..." He said as his body tensed in anger. "I saw everything! I saw how she killed them and all I could do was... just... SIT... THERE! I couldn't do nothing to save them because I was too weak then. I was just a child who had been born 12 years earlier. Malefor's egg had only been recently laid and taken to the temple." Kane sobbed and began to wept. "Because of Renara, Malefor never got the chance to see our mother and father in the flesh. That... that... twisted psycho bitch stole them from us. All the memories and years of family life that could-of-been never were allow to occur. All because of her...!"

The six elders all looked at each other as they finally realized the source of Kane's inner pain. Kiala stepped forward and looked down at her grandson. "So... that is why you started training to be a warrior in the battledomes?" She asked. He nodded. "Oh, Kane, I so sorry. I never knew." Blaze stepped forward to stand next to Kiala.

"Me neither..." She said, her tone soft and gentle which surprised Kane for he had never heard her sound so caring. "I am sorry, Kane, for everything. I didn't know why you fought in the domes back then. I misjudged you. You were trying to find a way to overcome your pain. You wanted to become strong enough to protect your brother from a similiar fate." Kane sighed.

"Unfortunately, I failed, Elder Blaze. Malefor became a monster because I failed to see the warning signs... I... I... lost him." Blaze gently touched his face with her right paw making him look up into her glowing eyes.

"Kane... if you want to go and try to save your brother then you can go." She said. Kane's eyes opened wide in surprise.

"You mean I..." Blaze nodded as she glanced over at Kiala who smiled.

"Yes, grandson, you have our permission to go assist Spyro and his friends." She said as she looked over at Noresa. "As are you, Noresa. Of course, that is your decision. Will you go with Kane?" Noresa nodded.

"Yes, I will..."

The screen fades out to white...

The voice of Crona is heard: "A New Age Dawns..."

The images of everyone appear one at a time before they vanish as Spyro's shadow flashes as it is filled in with Spyro, who is wearing his battle armor as well. He runs towards the screen summoning the Destiny Blade. He spins around and slashes across the screen in a golden flash of magical celestial energy. The logo:

SPYRO: DRAGON of DESTINY:

-SEASON TWO-

\ I.N.V.A.S.I.O.N /

Appears and fades out in a blur as the images of Spyro and his friends rapidly re-appear on the screen one by one again as the camera does closeups of the serious expressions on their faces. Natalie lands on the left while Prince Lucas lands on the right side. Primrose and Fang stand in the background as Ryua and Reeco appear next to Flame and Cailean. Kieran and Aurora's appearance on screen finishes the lineup as the screen flash again and the title:

~~Second Wave~~

Appears and then disappears as quickly as it appeared...

"Spyro... Spyro... Dragon of Destiny..." (Echoes)

I.N.V.A.S.I.O.N....

~~Second Wave~~

Image of a glowing portal appears as a camera enters the portal and reappears over the Dragon Realms which transitions to Avalar and then the Forgotten Realms. The camera flys along then comes to stop on Spyro and his friends standing on a cliff as the ground begins to collapse beneath their feet. They jump off the cliff as it falls away and the camera starts with an upward look at the faces of Spyro and his friends as they are in freefall. Then camera flips to the right to show a portal jumper flying toward them. Spyro and the other dragons flap their wings flipping around to land on the roof of the portal jumper. Tobin and Amanda open the roof of the jumper bring them inside as the sky turns dark red above them.

Brand new song "DAWN OF A NEW AGE" begins playing...

"Even with the fall of darkness...,

There is light,

Don't give up,

We must be strong,

Carry on...,

As the ages turn...

Welcome to...

The Dawn of a New Age..., (Echoes with drum beats are heard)

The future begins right here and now...

Are you ready...

Images of Spyro and his friends battling the Dark Master and Galen flash across the screen. Vanguard Command Alpha is seen launching as a portal opens and it flies into it.

"All thru the years...

We have stood our ground...

Against the darkness...

Now the time come...

The Chaos War has begun...

Are you ready now...

To enter a whole new age...

Welcome to...

The Dawn of New Age...

Spyro...

A still image of Kieran and Omega standing face-to-face. The camera pans across the images of the past fly by showing the happier times. The images fade into mist as Spyro steps forward toward the screen. His friends stand by his side as they stand glancing off at the dark shadow of the Doom Dragon who reaches out to crush them with his large paw. They jump away and unleash elemental attacks on him. The Doom Dragon roars in rage and fires a blinding dark fire ball that makes the screen flash and fade out.

"Even when it seems like its over...

Even when it seems like we can't win...

We don't give up...

No, we keep fighting on...

Image of Spyro and Omega flying toward each other and as they collide a bright flash of energy shoots out from their collision. The image changes to Crona throwing ice at Malefor as he tries to kill the Chronicler. Image of Zeta grinning as she raises her battle staff to strike down Ember who lies at her feet only be stopped by Hunter who is in his transformed form of Ret'nuh. All the images vanish as the hand of Rashelle is seen sorting thru the temporal beams in the Temporal Core Realm.

"So many fates yet to be... So many destinies that will shape the the door that will lead us too a new age." Rashelle pauses as she senses someone. She rapidly turns and ducks under the sword swipe of... the image freezes as six large shadows observe and leave.

"So we carry on...

"It has begun..." He said, his voice sad. Spyro glanced over at him.

"Fighting the darkness...

Until the dawn...

"What has begun, Nestor?" Nestor looked over at the young celestial guardian.

"And there is no turning back....

"The Chaos War..." Spyro's face creased into a look of anger but then relaxed into one of sadness as he realized the truth of Nestor's words.

"For the past is gone...

"What do we do?" Tobin asked as he glanced over at Spyro. Spyro sighed.

"We evacuate the Dragon Realms..." Everyone looked at Spyro in shock but Spyro's expression stayed firmly serious. "If we don't then we all will perish. We have to survive if there is to be any chance for us to find the reason why this is happening..."

"So the war has begun

And we must be strong...

To save those we love

We must fight on...

Image of Hunter as he shakes his head as he watches the other clans members of Willowbrook run as the sky began to rip apart as powerful dark fiery beams of magical energy rain down from the angry red sky leveling homes, businesses... destroying the hopes and dreams of rebuilding their lives. Tears fall from Hunter's eyes and roll down his cheeks as he balls his paws into fists. He shook his head and screamed, "No... not again! This can't happen again. Not here!" The fiery beams change from black to red and then changes direction heading for... them.

Spyro's eyes open wide. "Oh no!"

"As our fates become one...

And our destinies are revealed...

Let us stand together...

As one...

For the future is in our hands and we must be strong..."

Image of Sirius frowning as he watches Spyro, Flame, Ember and Cailean and their friends facing the darkness.

"Fate... Destiny.... Chaos... Hope... and Unity...

All fates are linked...

All Destinies are intertwined...

Even if Chaos falls and the darkness threatens to encompass us all...

Hope and Unity will prevail...

For true power is revealed only when the time comes and when heroes all rise to meet their true destinies united as one...

Even if the end remains yet unknown..."

Images of Amanda screaming as a portal jumper explodes as one of the portal network doorways shatters sending out waves of magical energy that slice the jumper apart. "If these dark portals keep opening like this all over the realms then portal travel will come to an end."

Flame: "Get back...! The portal network is crashing...!"

Image of Ember screaming, "Father... no!" as she holds his head in her arms as tears rolled down her cheek. "Hold on. Please hold on!"

Image of the Vanguardian Tower of Lore collapsing as it explodes sending debris flying. As it happens Reeco watches with his father Dake in horror. Drake turns away from the explosion and closes his eyes as tears roll down his cheek. "What have I done...?" He whispers. Reeco glances over at him.

"What do you mean?" He asked and as he does the sky rips open and as soon as this happens the Shadow Realm begins to come apart...

The screen darkens as Galen appears on screen walking through the wreckage of a chamber. He pauses as he hear a sound of running footsteps and turns to see Spyro, Flame and Ember with their friends. "GALEN," Spyro growls, "THIS MADNESS ENDS NOW!"

Galen laughs and with a sweep of his paw throws Spyro and his friends backwards into a wall. "No, Hero, this isn't the end for me but just the beginning... However, for you and your friends, Spyro, the end has come..." Spyro growls as he summons the Destiny Blade to his right paw and runs toward Galen slashing the air in a slow motion as the camera changes angles to show Galen's reflection on the blade...

However... the blade doesn't reflect only his reflection. Spyro's eyes go wide as Galen vanishes as a black feathered phoenix appears and catches the blade with his left talon paw and yanks it out of Spyro's paws. The phoenix tosses the blade away and then reaches out in a swift blur of speed and grabs Spyro by the throat. The dark phoenix brings Spyro close to his face as his glowing eyes narrow and his beak creases into a smug grin as he says, his voice filled with a hissing laughter of triumph, "Greetings, Destiny...!"

The screen flashes white...

"Spyro: Dragon of Destiny...

The battle has just begun..."

Moving Image of the Spyro: Dragon of Destiny logo reflects the faces of Spyro and all his friends and then cracks as the flaming red letters Invasion crash into it from above followed by the Second Wave logo fading in beneath it. The logo flashes as the sinister laughter of many enemies is heard. The images of Spyro and his friends from season one shift to their early season two appearances before shifting one last time to their current Season Two appearances. Spyro now wears a battle vest with metal arm and leg guantlets. Ember is wearing a white robe of sorts. Flame has traded in his old black jacket for a black short sleeve one with silver stripes running down the sides. Both Spyro and Flame are wearing their new jackets unbuckled showing off their more muscular gold scaled chests. The metal buckets on the jackets hang off to the side flowing with the motions and dancing actions of the wind around them. The swords of Destiny and Chaos are gripped in their left paws. Bandit is packing a grapling gun and few other new toys in addition to his upgraded guns. Hunter and Bianca are both wearing greyish white battle vests. Bianca has a new metal wand in a white pouch on the left side of her waist. She has a blue backpacket on that contains her spell books. Hunter has let his headfur grow out somewhat. He is sporting a slight mane of spotted fur down his back which he has tied into a ponytail. Hunter's wristbows are now much smaller and have a built-in viewfinder and maginfier sight. Blink is still wearing his hat and goggles although the goggles now have a few gadgets built into them now. His outfit is now a white shirt with a dark green battle vest. Prince Lucas the Gryphon stands with his wings spread out wide. His beaked face is now lined with black battle markings and tribal white stripes. Two short double edged battle blades are strapped to his sides in sheaths. He has a metal white light gem tailring to match his old wrist gauntlets and his new leg gauntlets. The image flashes briefly as Natalie and Crona appear amoung Spyro and his friends. Natalie is wearing her battle gear. while Crona's legs are sheathed in armor. Her Chronicler wardrobe blows in the wind as the camera pans across all of them. The image flashes as Primrose and Fang now appear. As the camera zooms upwards to show everyone raising their paws to the sky as Spyro yells:

"Together... we stand united!

Divided we fall!"

The screen flashes and fades to black....

(Episode 17)

The Dark Master Returns..., Part 5 of 6:

Battleground: Part 1

Meanwhile...

Flame roared as he charged torward Malefor and as he did his body was surrounded with a fiery aura of elemental fire. Malefor smiled as he raised his right paw in the air and as he did the earth rose up into a spike that everyone else saw but Flame. Ember's eyes went wide as she glanced over at Spyro. Spyro nodded as he charged forward, time waves rippling around his body as he slammed into his charging brother to push him away from the deadly spike he was charging toward. Malefor's smile faded as his eyes narrowed in fury. 'How dare you interfere!' He roared into Spyro's mind as he reached out with his mind to throw both brothers into the nearest rock face. However, at that moment, a portal opened as Cailean and Crona arrived with re-enforcements. Flame smiled while Spyro just nodded his head as they both walked over to Cailean and Crona.

"It is good to see you two." Flame said. Cailean and Crona both nodded before looking at Spyro. The purple dragon wasn't happy but he understood why they had come.

"I may not be happy to see you guys." Spyro said, his tone one of mild irritation before his expression changed to a small smile. "But thanks. Thanks for coming to our aid." Crona smiled and nodded.

"Don't mention it." She said as she glared up at Malefor who just glanced down at them with a look of mild amusement on his face. 'Why is he so amused?' She thought before she saw in her mind a vision of what Malefor was planning. 'Uh oh!' Just as the warning lights went off in her mind Malefor began to laugh.

The laughter made Cailean cock his head, puzzled at the elder purple dragon's reaction as he stepped up to stand next to Spyro, his eyes narrowing. 'I wonder what he finds so funny...?' He thought before Crona sent him the vision she had seen in her head. His eyes went wide as he acted quickly. He grab Spyro and pull him to the ground at the same time that Crona did the same with Flame just as Malefor's massive glowing tail blade appeared, in a blur, right where their heads had just been. Spyro looked at Cailean and nodded his thanks but Cailean just gestured over at Gideon. "Thank him and her..." He said glancing at Crona. "...for sending me the vision." Spyro glanced over at Gideon and Crona.

"Thank you... both of you." Gideon's stoic face creased in a warm smile while Crona nodded as she helped Flame to his feet.

"Your welcome, Spyro." He said before ducking Malefor's next attack with a blur of speed. Carla and Ember charged forward followed by Crona. Ember spun herself into a ball that flew into Malefor's face knocking his head backward allowing Carla to spin around in corkscrew and slash his throat with her tailblade drawing a small rivet of blood. Crona attempted to follow up Carla's attack with her own but got swatted away by a telekinetic burst of mental energy from Malefor. She slammed into the ground creating a small impact crateor. Ember landed and ran over to check on her friend.

"Crona, are you okay." She asked. Crona groaned as she slowly got to her feet and shook off the pain as she glared up at Malefor, her eyes glowing white as her anger caused her own telekinetic powers to activate. Ember stepped back from her slightly. "Crona?" Crona glanced over at her friend and nodded.

'I'll be okay,' She said in Ember's mind as she threw back her head and roared and as she did the ground beneath her feet cracked and sunk down from the tremendous power her mental powers exerted on it. "However, Malefor won't be when I get done with him!" She glanced over at Carla who charged again in a streak of shadow energy. Carla closed her eyes as she focused on a special power she had gained from her mother. Her tail blade took on a pulsing glow as the blade sharpened. She roared as she spun herself into a ball as her body enlarged to half of Malefor's size. As her spinning form slammed into Malefor's chest the soul gem in his chest cracked making him roar in pain. Carla grinned as she vanished into a shadowy mist only to reappear right in front of Malefor and jab her glowing tailblade right into his chest below the soul gem! The impact was not only strong enough to draw blood but also knock the elder dragon backwards off his feet and send him flying through the air to land on his back. Carla glanced over at Crona who smiled and charged in a blur of speed toward Malefor, who was slowly healing his injury as he got up. "My turn!'She roared as she jumped up into the air and....

Froze as her body suddenly pulsed with golden energy. 'What's happening to me!' Crona thought as an intense wave of pain rippled through her body. Her face creased in horror as she realized what was happening. 'No... not now! I thought I had flushed the celestial energy Spyro gave me from my body. How can it still be there.' Malefor smiled as he watched Crona twitch in pain.

"What's wrong, young one? You look like your in great pain. Allow me to help make it much worst!" He said as he opened his mouth and unleashed a blazing blue ball of fire that slammed into Crona engulfing her in a ball of radiant energy. As this happened she screamed...

Her scream made everyone on the battle field freeze in shock as they all watched their friend suffer. However, only one dragon was able to react and that was Ethan...

"Oh no...!" Ethan whispered as his face creased in horror.

"CRONA! NOoooo!"

TO BE CONCLUDED....

New Ending Song...'TEARS OF MY HEART' starts playing...

Image of Spyro and Ember appear in a split screen as they both stare up into the night sky. Flame is holding Ryua in his arms as she weeps...

Can you feel my sadness...

Can you see my tears falling down...

How long must we fight...

I can't stop crying now...

Tears of My Heart...

Image of Spyro, Flame and Ember all sitting in a field of flowers as the sky behind fades from night into morning as the sun rises. They lay back on the ground and watch as the clouds overhead float by and change into the faces of those who are no longer with them. The camera pans over their faces. They each have tears in their eyes. Spyro sats up and as he does a tear falls from his right eye and the camera follows the tear to the ground in slow motion.

We carry on...

For those who are gone...

We never forget...

Their joyful smiles...

Or their kind hearts....

Image of Hunter and Bianca in each others arms kissing on balcony as sun sets behind them. Elora practicing her fighting moves. Emerald, Inferno, Hydro and Moss all sit around a campfire together. Cailean, Aurora and Kieran enter a portal and end up on hill where Spyro, Flame and Ember stand. They turn to glance at the new arrives as a gentle breeze blows around them.

When the dawn comes...

And the night fades to light...

We will stand...

For together our tears...

Shall lighten our heavy hearts...

Tears of My Heart...

Final still images of Spyro standing strong with Ember, Flame, Cailean, and everyone else as they stand ready for the battles to come...

So together we will fight...

And carry on...

In memory...

Of those who are gone...

So cry with me...

These Tears of My Heart (Echoes as it is repeat again)
