Encased in a purple energy shield cased by Spyro, the team readed themselves as the undead battered at the shield, ripples spread across with each it, but that did little to tire Spyro out, it was when the dragon launched fireballs that came down like metiores those drained the purple dragon. "Spyro let go, I'll give us some breathing room you go after him." Allan said as his fist glowed green, nodding, Spyro waited for his attack and as it turned to smoke he dropped the shield and hid in the smoke before launching a beam of aether at the fire dragon, knocking him back a few feet before he rammed him into the fortress. With the two dragons battling, Allan ran at Cynder, who had lowered herself for him, once his foot stepped onto her back, she pushed herself off the ground and Allan jumped off her back, coming back down slamming his fist into the ground, sending a magic shock wave that blasted the undead away, giving them a chance to prepare for a long fight.

Allan stepped back from a vertical swing, ducking under horizontal swing coming up and blocked a strike away, spinning around, cutting a warrior's abdomoin, before turning and doing the same to another, Cynder used her tail to deflect a blow, and with a swift turn, thrusted her blade into the head of another before vanishing into the shadows, reappearing behind three and ignited them with her flame breath. Seeing Rarity getting pushed near the edge she raced over and blasted them over with her wind element, she returned the favor by blasting two with a hail storm of gems knocking them away just for Cynder to swing her tail at them. The army seemed endless as Allan spun around blocking two attack and Twilight pushed them back, he blocked two more, swinging around and sliced ones chest open, those that staggered from his counter Twilight took care of, as he would spin around her, making sure they didn't hit her, either by blocking or swinging his own attacks at them.

The two seemed to have been circled in, Allan held his sword high as Twilight had her magic at the ready, the warriors circled around them, waiting for the opportunity to strike but out of nowhere a pink stubstains splattered over the warriors, "back off bullies!" It was Pinkie Pie with her party canon and Twilight immediately summoned a shield around her and Allan as Cynder rained fireballs upon the stuck warriors, the attack was so powerful those that weren't near the inferno were push back from the shock waves that followed.

Else where, Spyro and the fire dragon were at each other's throats, claws, fangs and elements were used, the fire dragon had Spyro pinned under his paws, summoning his fire breath but the purple dragon melted into the shadows and he looked around but he left one spot open...his underside and Spyro jumped out of the shadows, ramming his head into his foes stomach lifting him high into the air, using aether, Spyro vanished in a flash and as he reappeared up above, striking him down with a stream of ice slamming him down into the ground. Shaking off the ice he jumped skyward towards Spyro igniting his own body and with incredible speed tackled the purple dragon, the heat was nothing to the hero of the dragon realm but when he sank his fangs into his shoulder caused Spyro to howl in pain turning his pain into rage and he charged up his electric breath, the cracking alerted his foe but he wasn't fast enough to move before his and Spyro's body were sparking with electricity, his foe back off, his scales sensitive from his last encounter with electricity leaving himself open but when he saw Spro coming he blasted a stream of fire.

Spyro shot back with his own fire, the heat was intense as they were in a stalemate but soon, Spyro used aether and pushed the attack his way, forcing his attacker to back off, and as he dove under the attack, he saw the battle down below and saw that Cadence was still holding the dragon eye, smiling he dove for her, and as she looked up she had no chance to react as he grabbed her from the battle field, the impact of his paw connecting with her side was enough to knock the wind out of her and with his tail caught the dragon eye, and he headed South, and his new army vanished in a puff of purple smoke, leaving the others to merely watch as he vanished in the clouds. As Spyro landed, Cynder took notice of his injuries but he merely walked by her and came up to Allan.

"So what now?"

"We need to find Cadence and the dragon eye before something happens." Allan said, "Twilight can you teleport us back to the temple?" She nodded and in a flash they were gone, seconds later they landed in the dinning hall of the Northren temple but it was long before one of the girls asked the question.

"Why didn't we go after them?" Rainbow asked.

"And what would we have done? Fight in the air and risk Cadence's life? Say she falls can you catch her, because the dragons will be in an arelee combat an I'm useless in the air. Besides he gave us information he shouldn't have he said he returned South. Now the question his Where?"

"The Atlawas are in control of Tall Plains so he won't go there, nor the swamp or the ancient grove, that's in range of the temple and most likely the guardians if they returned from their vacation." Spyro said.

"Then that leaves Concurrent Skies but from what i hear, the electric dragons have reclaimed it, using my old lair and transforming it into a Kingdom, so that leaves Munitions Forge, home to the fire dragons."

"Don't forget about the smaller islands." Twilight said gaining every ones attention. "I saw a map in one of the books in the Mountain Fortress library and studied it closely. He could be on Stone isle, the Desolated Skerry, or the Crystal Archipelago."

"Damit I hate it when others are right." Allan cursed as the others nodded in agreement, "ok first we check Munitions Forge then check the other islands, but first, Spyro, let Cynder tend to your wound, the rest of us will rest up and recover our strength then we go on the hunt." Everyone headed off towards their chambers for the night.

Off the coast of Munitions Forge South West from the main land lays a tear shaped, un-named island and on it was an abandoned strong hold used by the fire dragons in order to stop any forces from Cynder and Malefor back when he was alive and had the young dragoness under his control, but now it was the lair of the fire dragon and his army of the undead. Placing the dragon eye on a table next to a book with the amulet sketched into it and next to it was the alicorn amulet, "one down one to go." Walking out he came down to the room where Cadence was being held, her legs were spread apart, almost to the point of asking to be bred, a ring enhanced by dark magic was at the base of her horn, rendering any attempt of escape obsolete, her wings tied to her body by leather rope.

"Tell me my dear...what do you know of the alicorn amulet?" The Princesses eyes widen, how could a dragon know of the most powerful artifact, second to the elements of harmony? He walked around her, looking at her in a manner that sent shivers down her spin. "You are the Princess of love yes? Then perhaps I could...persuade you to tell me about it."

"What exactly were those things?" Rarity asked as the others sat down for breakfast, Cynder helped Spyro make his way to the table, his right shoulder had bandages wrapped in healing dust as they sat they saw most of his wound healed nicely.

"You remember seeing them in the catacombs?" They nodded. "Those were the dark elves of Dun Tynne, be thankful they couldn't use their magic or their speed or true strength."

"Why's that, I'm mean I know it be bad but just how bad?"

"Remeber when Allan punched a hole in the Crystal Empire? Or how fast he killed the crimson changelings? Then imagine an entire army of him, suited in armor, weapons that could cut normal armor like butter, then add an ancient form of black magic on top of that. Able to move in a form of fog, you can't see them but they can see you...attack from nowhere and everywhere, that's a dark elf."

The girls shivered, they were truly thankful they didn't face that but instead merely the warriors and that was hard enough but now they need to find Cadence a task that will not come easy. "What if we split up, check the islands out then the Forge?" Twilight suggested.

"To risky twi, should one of us encounter him without a dragon reinforcement then we're history or be held captive like Cadence." Applejack said.

"Agreed...I'm fast but last time I bucked a dragon it did nothing to him and if he decides to chase me there is a good chance I might get roasted, personally I'd rather not become dragon food." Rainbow added.

"So what? We fly as a large group and announce our presence that we are coming to get her?"

"No Twilight, we need the element of surprise, if we're spotted then we got the army to deal with but should we find where they are and stay out of sight then we can get both Cadence and the dragon eye, and if possible kill him, ending his magic influence on the undead."

"Should things get ugly no doubt he and I will go another around and this time I'll be sure he's dead."

"Then it's settled let's head out."
