Twilight and the Dragon Skylanders head to a world where vikings ride dragons.

After taking care of Shiny's WereDragon problem, the Skylanders do what they always do: protect the magical world of Skylands. After coming back from the Mesosoic Era in a different dimension, Eon gets a call for help from a Scottish-voiced viking by the name of Duggard the Decisive, chief of the island of Huttsgalor. Spike, Ember, and the rest of the Dragon members of the Extreme Squad, along with Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, and other Dragon Skylanders, are ready to help. And while they do that, Shiny gets acquainted with her new powers and the beast inside her, and Cynder continues to hide her fear of any of the Skylanders knowing of her dreaded past.

If you haven't watched this show, then I strongly suggest you do before reading this.

Sequel to Skylanders 2: The Mesozoic Era. With Shiny being infected by a contaminated gift of the Tribal Werewolf.

Water vs Fire

SpongeBob Squarepants, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike were watching both the Water and Fire Fusionators brawl all out within the arena. The Magic-related Fusionators were sitting with the purple alicorn and purple drake as well as the yellow sponge.

Spike and SpongeBob started to blurt out two different names as they cheered for their respected fellow Skylanders.

(Same time)
"Go, Garble!"
"Go, Patrick!"

Spike and SpongeBob stared wide-eyed at the arena and back to each other. Spike on the sponge's left, and SpongeBob on the purple drake's right. The purple one squinted his eyes while SpongeBob did the same thing.

"Water can douse fire."
"Well, Dragons can swim in lava without getting hurt."
"Patrick's more stronger."
"Well, Garble's smarter than him."
"We should have a 1v1 battle between the two of us after this one, Lizard Face."
"Agreed, Toilet Utensil."
"(Gasps) You take that back!"
"Make me, Mr.Zits-a-lot!"
(Twilight) "This won't end well."
(Ember) "*Points with her right finger* Look!"

All the Magic-related Skylanders see Garble dodging punches left and right. When Patrick delivered a right hook, Garble turned his head to the right to dodge the punch. Next, he brought his tail with him by swinging it to the right, and knocked both of Patrick's legs, off the ground, which caused him to float a little then plummet to the ground on his back. Then, Garble planted his left foot on the starfish's belly, and hoisted his tail right at Patrick's face.

"Do you yield?" Garble asked.

"Oh! Sure! I would like to order 4 Krabby Patties with extra patties, (hold the mayo), with Ketchup, Mustard, Barbecue Sauce," Patrick said. In fact, he kept naming random food like Krabby Pizza and whatnot, that he was making Garble stare at him in confusion which then turned to anger. But, as Dragon King of Protection, even he has to abide by the rules.

"Hey! I mean, do you surrender?" He asked.

Patrick placed his right finger on his chin and thought a little. "Uh... no," he said. Then, he chomped on Garble's tail with the whole arrow-shaped part of his tail within the starfish's mouth.

Garble started to wince in pain. Next, he took his tail out with both his paws. (Not from inside Patrick's mouth because that would be gross). Then, he started to hop backwards twice and away from the starfish that played a dirty trick on him. Everyone consisting of Skylanders and Mabu saw what conspired. Then, Garble shook off the drool and started to bare his claws out. Then, he started to sprout black claws from his red claws as to deal a "damage overtime" thing towards the starfish. Which he started doing. Garble slashed his belly with his right paw as he started turning brown and into his weredragon form, Were-Garble. As the transformation was complete, Patrick started to turn into Mr.SuperAwesomeness, Patrick's super hero form.

The battle between Fire and Water has become more fierce.

Author's Note

If y'all remember the first story, like, from the last chapter, all those Skylanders will be here. But wow! It looks like Spike and SpongeBob will make the greatest rivalry alongside Garble and Patrick between Water and Fire. Magic and Water as a bonus.

The Call For Help

While Master Eon was watching the battle between dragon and sea creature, he got another dimensional call for help. This time it seemed to be coming from a Scottish voice. "Hello? Master Eon? It's me, Duggard the Decisive."

"Ah, Duggard! How are you, my old friend?" Eon asked the little short viking who appeared as a TV show within a magical mirror. Then, he saw three black dragons fighting off a blue dragon, a light green dragon, a gray one, a purple one, and a small little red dragon. And there were two vikings, one was a boy while the other was a girl. The boy was riding the blue dragon while the girl was riding the green dragon. "Oh, let me guess, dragon trouble?"

"Oh, indeed, Master Eon. In fact, the colorful dragons along with Dak and Leyla you see, are trying to fight off three Slinkwing Dragons while protecting our village, Huttsgalor," Duggard explained.

"I thought they would be Slinkwings. Don't worry, my friend. I will send out a team as soon as I can," Eon said.

"Thank you, Master Eon," Duggard said and hanged up on the interdimensional link from a different dimension. And just in time, too. For Eon saw Garble standing victorious. Garble turned back into his normal state, then roared in victory with the Jurassic Park's T-rex thunderous roar.

Author's Note

If you guys watched Jurassic World, then you can remember that the ending roar of Rexy is the same roar for Garble.

Cynder's Fear

Cynder was still in bed within the Magic room. Reason being is that she felt more comfortable with Spyro, Spike, Ember, and Twilight. But, she wasn't sleeping that good, for she was struggling as she was having a nightmare regarding her past, including an evil dragon.

"Cynnnnderrrrr," the voice of Malefor rang inside her sleep that it caused her to wake up in tears.

Luckily, Spyro was there to keep watch while Sparx was at the arena. Forsooth, the power of sleep has taken ahold of him too until Cynder's cry woke him up.

Spyro looked at Cynder as she looked straight up in front of her. Then, he watched her squint her eyes and close them as she lowered her head down and started bawling. He draped his left wing on her back as he brought her in for a comforting hug. He let her cry into his left shoulder as he placed his head on top of her's. Good thing Dragon Scales are indestructible, or Spyro would probably have a sore neck from her silver horns. As soon as she let out her final tears, she started to pull her head back.

"Thank you, Spyro," Cynder said with her voice cracked as she wiped her eyes with her left paw. She started with her left eye, of course.

"Same dream, huh?" Spyro asked.

"You know very darn well that it was no dream. Dreams are to help you sleep and help you wake up strong. This... "dream"... was, and still is, a nightmare. A nightmare that I can't escape. Especially, if that means I have to tell the others about my past. A past that they wouldn't like," Cynder explained.

"Cynder, the Skylanders are like our family now. They should be able to understand your pain. Remember that Spike mentioned that he was mind controlled by King Sombra? And after that, Twilight said that he didn't need forgiveness for something that he was forced to do. I think that should work the same way for you-,"

"But what if it doesn't? What if they learn the dark truth about my past? What if they realize that I was once a bloodthirsty, murderous monster?" She said as she looked up at Spyro.

"You... are not a murderer, Cynder. Not even a monster," Spyro said to his girlfriend.

"That's because I never told you that Malefor made me killed hundreds of innocent lives!" She shouted and caused her boyfriend to wince a little. "See?! That's the reaction that I know will happen if I told everyone about my past, especially soon-to-be Skylander, Shiny. I don't want everyone to think of me as a monster when I already know that I-," she started to tear up and continued until Spyro used his left paw to bring her head to his chest. More preferably, his heart.

"Don't finish that sentence. You are not a monster. If you want, I can continue to keep it a secret, OK?" Spyro asked.

"Thank you, Spyro," Cynder said as she started to nuzzle on his chest.

Then, they heard Master Eon's voice.

"Dragon Skylanders, Unite!"

After that, the two looked at each other and then jumped off the bed and ran out of the room and started flying in the hallways.

Smaug was sleeping in a giant cave beside the Fire Dorm on the right side of the dorm until he woke up when he heard Master Eon's call. Then, he started walking which was soon followed up with running and then twirled his body as he jumped high into the sky, then fall for a little bit until he pulled out his wings from his sides as he starts flying to where he was needed.

Garble stood in the barracks congratulating Patrick for a good battle until he heard Eon calling "all" Dragons. Garble then went to get his little brother from the arena as he saw him fighting SpongeBob... and lost to a mean left boxing hook in his adult dragon form in slow motion with the sponge in his Superhero Form, The Invincibubble. Spike knew that if he wasn't distracted by Eon's voice, then he would've had the upper hand.

But, after the battle was over, and SpongeBob and Spike shook hands, the two brothers flew to heed the call from where Eon's location was. Sparx decided to follow the two brothers as well since he's part dargon.

Ember and the other dragons of Dragonia started to fly high into the sky as well as they followed Garble, Spike, and Sparx.

The four humans/animagi Jonathan Claw, Michael Bakar, Saivon Rey, and Luke Reese, were training Shiny in the ways of the Tribal Werewolf until all five of them used their wereanimal senses to hear Master Eon calling them. The Tribal Werewolf Pirates turned into their bat-like dragon forms, and Shiny just switched back into her Pteranodon form as she received a special message for her only as the four dragons left without her. She picked up her leafy designed purse that Rarity made for her and pressed a button on her golden bostaff and made it shrink to the size of a regular, small wooden stick, and placed it inside her purse as she flew off to where Eon wanted to see her.

Shiny, however, managed to get there first due to her small size and speed. She saw Master Eon standing there, and landed in front of him, where he started to whisper into Shiny's left ear. Then, he told her to get behind him and wait until the other Dragon Class Skylanders came.

Author's Note

If you are a SpyroxCynder fanatic, then like this story for Cynder. After all, she is the main character alongside Shiny and the rest of the Dragon Skylanders.

Also, feel free to comment about Cynder.

Rescue Riders

Author's Note

Sorry for the hold up, guys! But this chapter will explain the species of the How To Train Your Dragon Universe. Most preferably, the dragons of the Rescue Riders show on Netflix.

Rescue Riders

The Rescue Riders were doing their very best to keep Huttsgalor safe from the scheming Slinkwings. A slim dragon that has the ability to camouflage, and spit green goo that is really sticky.

Winger is a Swiftwing dragon. A blue dragon that flies very fast in the air and can shoot three purple balls of electricity that are called "Power blasts." Swiftwings can only shoot three of them and have to wait and recharge. (I have no idea how long they have to recharge so don't judge me.)
He is part of a group of fierce dragons called the "Strike Class." His rider is Dak, a young male viking who's always adventurous and was raised alongside Winger. Another fact, a Swiftwing can also combine their three Power Blasts to make a Mega Blast. Winger shares the same Class with Skrills, Triple Strykes, Night Furies and Light Furies.

Summer is a Fastfin dragon. She can be able to swim underwater very fast compared to Winger. She is a light teal-ish dragon that squirts a large amount of water from her mouth. She drinks a lot of water so that she can spray a huge amount of it later on. Instead of claws, Summer has paws with sails between her fingers. Also, despite being a Fastfin, she's the only one of her kind that is afraid of eels. She is part of a group of sea dragons called the "Tidal Class." Her rider and best friend is Leyla, the twin sister of Dak who always comes up with a plan. Summer shares her class with Sqauldrons, Thunderdrums, Sea Shockers, Submarippers, Bewilderbeasts, Shellfires, Sea Gronkles, and Divewings.

Cutter is a Relentless Razorwing. A gray dragon with brown spots along with razor sharp claws and spikes as well as a sharp eyesight. Cutter's eyesight is best known as "The Best Eyesight in the Dragon World." Most Razorwings, like our good friend, Cutter, can be able to spin so fast that his spikes help him dig through the ground. Like Winger, Cutter also has to recharge his fire breath. He can even create geysers of water which he calls "Cutter-gushers." Not to mention that he also loves to make jokes and even puns. He is part of a group of dragons with amazing tracking skills called the "Tracker Class." Plus, he can shoot one or more of his tail spikes in any direction, even in the form of a forward somersault. Cutter shares his class with bloodhound-like Deadly Nadders, and a Rumblehorn.

Burple, the hungriest purple dragon of the team, is a Rockspitter dragon that has four stomachs. One for food, and the others for storing random objects, like rocks. He looks like a Gronkle, but has shorter wings. He doesn't breathe fire. Hence, the word "Rockspitter." He can even curl up and roll like a giant rolly-poly. Burple is part of a group of dragons that eat fish as well as rocks called the "Boulder Class." Just like a Gronkle, Burple is very friendly. Just ask Haggis, he's the town's prized sheep. He also shares the same class with Gronkles, Whispering Deaths, Screaming Deaths, Hotburples, Catastrophic Quakens, and Crimson Gorecutters.

Aggro, the fifth dragon member of the Rescue Riders, is a Firefury. A red dragon with ram horns and a fiery temper. She can create clouds of smoke when scratching the ground with her wings. She's also part of the "Stoker Class," a group of dragons that are fierce like the Strike Class dragons, and can breathe the most hottest fire like the Sharp Class dragons. It would also explain how she's very hot-headed. All of Aggro's species are hot-headed, in fact. Oh, don't call her little or she will glow bright red and burn everything around her in a few seconds. Make sure you have a bucket of water around... just in case. Her species aren't the only dragons of the Stoker Class, because she shares this class with Monstrous Nightmares, Terrible Terrors, Red and Green Deaths, Singetails, Typhoomerangs, and Fireworms.

Rescue Riders & Dragons

The Rescue Riders were doing their best to stop the Slinkwings from taking over their island. The viking twins were making sure that everyone was heading to safety. Cutter and Burple were taking care of the Hippie Slinkwing. Cutter started talking.

"How many times do we have to beat you guys? Maybe a hundred more will do the trick," Cutter said. "For acting like a hippie, you sure don't seem to be acting like the peace-loving type, hehe," Cutter joked.

Burple, who was flying on Cutter's left, started to talking. "Why do you Slinkwings have to ruin everything? I mean, you seem nice," he said until Cutter stopped him.

"Let me stop you there, Burp. Emphasis on "nice," Cutter emphasized.

"Well, he does seem different than the other two. Remember when he said that we were "welcome to come" at Grumblegard's place?" Burple complied.

Cutter looked to the right corner of his view as he started reminiscing that time. "Oh, yeah. *looks back at Burple* I remember that now," he said. "But what's your name anyway?"

"Snoop. And yes, I am the nice one, not to mention that I'm not the brightest one of the trio. But what can I do? They're more smarter than me, so I have to follow Lurke and Vizza's lead. I don't even have a choice in the matter," he said.

"There's always a choice, Snoop. You just need to believe it," Burple said.

"Cutter! Burple! Less chatting! More fighting!" Winger said as he was rodeo-ing on the top of Lurke's neck.

Lurke then gets the upper-claw as he swings Winger off and looks at Snoop. "Snoop, you imbecile! Fight them!" He said and soon he started chasing Winger.

Summer was fighting off against Vizza as they exchange water squirts and spits of green goo. Luckily, for Summer, being a Fastfin pays the price for Slinkwing goo to be ineffective to her scales.

"Drat! I forgot you undersea lizards have a body of scales that are basically immune to our goo," Vizza said.

"Hey! I can't help that I was a born a dragon that is immune to your goo," she smiled and bloated.

Vizza growls angrily and goes back to spitting goo at Summer even if she knows that her scales are immune to the slimy goo of a Slinkwing.

Back on the ground...

Aggro watched her friends battle the three Slinkwings. As much as she wants to help her friends who she treats as family or they treat her as family, she was helping Dak and Leyla get the residents of Huttsgalor to shelter in the form of their Great Hall.

...

Meanwhile, in the Skylanders Academy Library...

"Dragons, I have called you all in here for another dimensional mission in the time of Vikings, where you will have to travel to an island called "Huttsgalor." It's spelled "H-U-Double T-S-G-A-L-O-R," Eon explained. "And just like Tahlia, this old viking friend of mine is called "Duggard the Decisive, Chief of Huttsgalor." He's another one of my dimensional friends and I need you to help protect his island from a trio of troublesome dragons called "Slinkwings." It's a dragon that can spit green goo with the same action that glue does and can camouflage into any environment with ease.

"Don't worry, Master Eon. We got this mission "in the bag." If a viking needs help, then we'll be there to do so," Spike said as he flared his wings up.

Eon started to fiddle with his fingers as he looks to the left with his face looking straight at Spike. "Well, *looks back at Spike* you see, Spike, in this dimension, you and other Dragon Battle Class Skylanders, won't be able to talk. 'Cause according to vikings, all they can hear are roars, growls, bellows, shrieks, and screeches. So, whatever you say, they can only hear animal noises," Eon said.

"WHAT!" The Dragons shouted in complaint.

"That's not fair!" Smolder yelled.
"Complete ludicrous!" Smaug bellows.
"This stinks!" Garble shouted.
"Curse you, Laws of Nature!" Discord screamed.
"After helping at least one world, you would think "The One Upstairs" would allow us to bend the rules a little in the next world," Jonathan said.

After hearing what the white human boy/animagus said, Discord looks at Eon and pulls his right finger out to say something.

"No, Discord, you can't bend the rules of this world like you do with Dragonia," Eon pointed out.

"How did-"

"I may have - perhaps secretly sneak into your rooms and use my magic to read your minds at night," Eon said.

All Dragons of the Dragon Class widen their eyes as their jaws drop.

"But don't worry. Let me enlighten you that I only needed to do that so that I can get to know you all better," Eon said.

"I... kinda feel like my privacy has been invaded," Jonathan said.

"Oh, like you love it when Twilight sometimes wears thigh highs to make you go "gaga" for her?" Eon stated.

As soon as they heard that, the Dragons started giggling, and snickering, and chuckling as well as laughing hysterically.

Jonathan started blushing super hard. "SHUT UP!" He quickly shouted. "Besides, she's still beautiful even without certain clothing. Also, you're one to talk, Spike. After all, isn't Ember's battle armor comprised of black thigh highs, and long satin, silk-made, black-hued princess gloves? Or the fact that your sister in law, Smolder, wears the exact same thing with her female sailor costume, hmm?" Jonathan asked with a sinister smile creeping up on the right side of his face.

Spike, Ember, and Smolder started blushing now and that got everyone else to laugh at them now.

"Enough!" Eon shouted with his arms by his sides.

The Dragons and Dragon-related creatures stopped laughing and looked at Master Eon. Eon regained his posture by taking a deep breath and placing his hands in the form of Namaste.

"Good. Now, back to the topic at hand, the reason why you're all going is to show this little one what it means to be a Dragon. And who better than the live, fire breathing Dragons standing in front of me right now. You can come out now, little one," Eon said as he looked on his left where everyone saw a sky blue hued left hand holding onto Eon's robe. She revealed her head to be none other than...

"Shiny?" Ember calmly, yet surprisingly said. "What were you doing hiding behind Master Eon?" She asked.

As soon as Ember said that, Shiny lets go of her gentle hold on Eon's robe and walks up, and stood by Eon's side.

"The only reason I was hiding behind Master Eon was because he's sending me on this mission with you," she answered.

The Dragons were a little shocked, but not too shocked when Shiny finished her sentence. "Well, I for one am not going," Cynder said.

Everyone stood still and quiet after they heard what the dark purplish Dragoness said. Spyro, who stood by her on her left, opened his mouth in shock for a little. Then, he blinks once and starts to speak to his girlfriend. "Cynder, I know what's bothering you, but you can't let it make you not go," he complies with her.

"I don't care what you say, Spyro, my past will always be a part of me! And it will probably stop me from doing other available missions. Besides, Shiny can take my place," she said.

Sparx flew from Spyro's left onto Cynder's right. "Not to be brash or anything like I usually am, but this wouldn't have anything to do with you being-" he stopped with his tiny hands on his hips as the Dragoness looked at him in a normal pace.

"Sparx... if you finish that sentence with that word," Cynder said as she starts to speak slowly," your mouth, along with your head, or maybe all of your miniscule body, will end in my stomach," she hissed with venom.

Sparx pulled back in fear of not wanting to become Dragon food, or in this case, a snack for the violet colored Dragoness. Spyro opens his mouth once again, but couldn't find the words. Then, Cynder looked away from Sparx and back at the entrance for the library and Master Eon's office, and walked past the Dragon Class Fusionators, and out the door.

While everybody was staring at the Dragoness as she walked away, Shiny silently tip-toed backwards until she felt the railing with her left hand. Then, she turns to her right, climbs up on the railing, jumps off the railing and flies above the school until she sees Cynder; walking away from the office and to the Magic Bedroom.

Back with the others, Eon looked towards his left and saw that Shiny wasn't there.

Author's Note

Just WHAT WAS that word that Sparx was about to say until Cynder interrupted him? I know already, because I'm the author, of course. The word starts with "e."

Twilight Sparkle, Cynder and Shiny to the rescue

The Dragon Fusionators' victory was short lived after Discord snapped his fingers when Lurke, Vizza , and Snoop came back with a full blown army of hundreds of Slinkwings.

"Good thing we brought the entire family," Lurke said with a sinister smile that only a mother would love. "ATTAAACK!" He yelled out as a whole lot lot of Slinkwings flew past the three and used their Slinkwing goo to pin them to the ground.

Spike, Ember, Garble and Belcher were glued together. Smaug was glued from his tail, to his wings, and finally at his neck. He pushes himself off the ground as hard as he could, but not even the great firedrake can free himself. He tried to use his fire breath, but three Slinkwings spat their goo at Smaug's mouth. The other Dragon Fusionators tried to reach Spike, Ember, Garble and Belcher, but they too were slimed AND glued to the ground. One by one, all of them were stuck to the ground - even Discord for Pete's sake.

The Rescue Riders tried to make a path for Summer to get to the dragons so that she can wash the goo off with her water squirting breath. (Like I have said before, from the page where I literally defined the Rescue Riders of their personalities and abilities on what type of dragon they are) But they too were glued onto the grounds of their home.

Lurke, Vizza, and Snoop flew back to the ground. They laughed at the predicament that the Rescue Riders and the Fusionators were in. "You see, after our recent failures of trying to get what we want, I knew it would be best to return with strength in numbers. Now, not only will we rob these pitiful vikings of their food, but the way I see it, we will conquer this entire island and claim it as our own. And there's nothing you dragons can do to stop us!" Lurke exclaimed and started to laugh as he was followed by Vizza, Snoop, and the entire flock of Slinkwings.

But then, a pink flash appeared in the air and behind the Dragons. Spike, Ember, Garble and Belcher looked behind them at the right. (They were glued together to look like a stack of barbecue ribs).

The pink flash faded, and revealed itself to be coming from the owner who is none other than the Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle. Spike and the three he was glued to widen their snouts in happiness to see that Twilight was here in the world of dragons. But she wasn't alone. On her right, Cynder was floating beside her while Shiny was floating in her weredragon form on Twilight's left.

Then, Twilight used her magic to cocoon herself into a pink chrysalis. Soon, it started cracking and finally, out from it, came Twilight in her dragon form named, "Firelight."

Firelight Sparkle was a hidden form that Twilight was born with that she never knew she had. Firelight has long wolf-like ears that can flop up and down like a resident bunny. Heck, she's just like Belcher in a way. Her tail is so thin and long, yet so powerful, she doesn't even need a special tail end point. Like, say, a mace, a triangular blade that splits into three like a trident, or be based on a mace with no spikes. Or be a tail with hundreds of spikes. (Deadly Nadder reference). But no, her tail was just an ordinary slinky tail and that's just how she likes it. At the center of her throat her cutie mark was, but the stars weren't. She kept the top part of her mane while the rest of it was a shaggy mane that stretches down her neck. Her eyes were the same color of lavender... or purple.

"The Power of Magic!" Firelight said her catchphrase that is shared with all her forms except Hulklight or Spark.

"Beauty. Love. And Respect!" Cynder shouted out.

"It's time to Shine!" Shiny yelled out.

Firelight and Cynder looked at the pteranodon-turned dragon and smiled.

"Nice catchphrase," Firelight said.

"Thanks!" Shiny replied back.

The three Dragons looked back at the army of Slinkwings. They pulled their heads back as three different colors of fire came out as tiny sparks. The three closed their mouths... Then they shot their heads forward and shoots three jets of different fires. Firelight shot a jet of pink fire. Cynder shot a jet of purple shadow fire. Days passed by from their last adventure, but Shiny shot a jet of purple fire. All their fires stuck together like a rainbow and soon some of the Slinkwings were blasted back far away from the island, including Lurke, Vizza, and Snoop.

...

Later on, Twilight, Cynder, and Shiny were helping pour water on their friends as it washed the Slinkwing goo right off. Summer took care of her friends while Cynder helped Spyro.

"So what changed your mind to come back and help us?" Spyro asked after he was freed and followed Cynder over to Smaug.

"One word: Shiny," she said. Then, the violet dragoness grabbed the bucket she was carrying earlier with her mouth and poured it onto Smaug's mouth with her paws. Smaug's mouth was free.

"I hate Slinkwing goo," he complied as Spike and Garble helped by pouring water on his back and tail.

As soon as Jonathan, Mike, Saivon and Luke were free, Jonathan's stomach started to growl in pain.

"Oh no, not again," he said as he clutched his belly with both paws.

Then, this time, however, Mike and the other two felt their bellies growl in pain and held them as well.

"Uh, Jonathan, I think the three of us know how you feel now when it comes to traveling between dimensions," Mike said.

"Yeah. Oof! That really hurts," Saivon added.

"Look! There's a boulder over there!" Luke said as he points his right finger to a boulder.

The four Werewolves ran over to the boulder with Jonathan and Saivon on the right and Mike and Luke on the left.

And then....

"Blech!!!" The four wolves hurled behind the boulder, causing many faces to wince in disgust.

The four wolves had slowly walked back over to the group on all fours. Then they stopped as their arms and legs began shaking and soon collapsed. Jonathan and Saivon were on the left and the group's right while Michael and Luke were on the right and the group's left side of their view.

Jonathan pushed himself onto the ground and was barely able to raise his right hand. "We're just going to be laying for a while," he said until he passed out and landed on his left arm on the left side of his face as the others followed suit. Then, the quartet was soon sleeping.

...

Soon, all the Dragons helped the vikings and Rescue Riders rebuild what was damaged from the fight from earlier.

After all was repaired, without the use of Discord's chaos magic, Huttsgalor looked better, just like it was before.

The said Lord of Chaos walked over to the Rescue Rider dragons. "So, my dear dragon friends from another dimension, how would you like to rate 1 outta 10 for your home -- in front of your fellow Huttsgalorians?" Discord questioned the young dragons with a bow with his eagle claw.

Winger stood in front of Discord with Summer on his left, and Burple on Summer's left. Cutter stood on Winger's right while Aggro stood in front and in between Winger and Cutter. Winger looked at Chief Duggard from behind him. Summer looked at Hannahr, the island's blacksmith, from behind as well as she stood on the chief's left side. Cutter looked behind himself at Magnus Finke with his nephew, Axel Finke, who stood on his uncle's right side, who both had their arms crossed. Aggro looked in between Winger and Cutter as she looked at Elbone, the island's best fisherman, who stood on Duggard's right and Magnus's left. And Burple looked at a pint-sized viking by the name of Finngard, who stood on Hannahr's left with his mother on his left as she held her hand. Then, after taking in all looks that were facing them, the Rescue Dragons looked at each other with big nervous smiles. Winger and Summer looked at each other, while Cutter, Aggro, and Burple shared looks with each other. Then, with all of them looking at the same dragon, they flew to their right and into the air as fast as they can, leaving five puffs of clouds that were shaped as the Rescue Dragons.

"Winger! Cutter! Burple!" Dak yelled out loud with his hands waving in the air.

"Summer! Aggro!" Leyla yelled out loud as well. But they didn't hear her.

"Come back!" Dak yelled out loud once again, only this time, Winger looked behind his left shoulder at Dak and gave a loud roar. Dak, however, widens his eyes as he learned something from Winger as he and the other dragons flew back to The Roost, the home of the Rescue Riders.

Chief Duggard started to run up to the twins. "Dak, Leyla, what did he say?" He asked as he stood behind them.

While looking at each other, Dak and Leyla started to look worried for their friends. Then, they looked at Chief Duggard.

"That's the problem, Chief. I don't know what he said." Dak looks back at the dragons flying back. "Almost like... he didn't wanna say anything," he complied.

"...and purposely roared," Leyla added as she messed with her hair on her left shoulder.

The Roost

Dak and Leyla were walking up to their home, an old lighthouse, with the Dragons walking behind them.

Side Note: if dragons is spelled with a capitol "D," then that is referring to the Dragon Battle Class Fusionators. If its spelled with a lowercase "d," then its referring to the dragons on the show.

Back to the story...

"Whoa! You actually live in a lighthouse?" Spike asked as he walks on Dak's left. Where his twin sister walked on her twin brother's right with Ember on her right.

"Yup," Dak shortly answered.

"Its not much, but we made some adjustments here and there; like our zip line, our targets for target practice, and the inside of the our nest," Leyla explained.

"Not bad," Spike said. But a certain light green furred werewolf interjected and stood in front of Spike, Ember, and the twins.

"Not bad?" Its not "not bad," its awesome! A zip line, targets for target practice, and a base of operations. What's not to love? *Looks at the zip line* In fact, do you use that zip line all the time?" Jonathan asked as he looks back at the twins.

"Yes, but, mostly Dak uses it. I'm not nearly as reckless as he is," Leyla answered.

"It's true, but I don't take offense. After all, sometimes, and I will admit, going with my gut does get us into pretty nasty situations such as getting lost in the Maze Caves," Dak started.

"And I admit that sometimes trying to think of a plan also prolongs the danger that soon arrives when we least expect it. In fact, I'd rather take precautions before doing any action," Leyla added.

Twilight Sparkle, in her alicorn form, flew in front of the twins and landed on Jonathan's right. "Amen to that, sister. But, wow! The two of you make a pretty good balance between brains and brawn. Leyla fits in with the brains; Dak fits in with the brawn. Together, you make a great team," Twilight complied.

"Thank you, Twilight," Leyla replied happily.

"Your welcome, Leyla. But may I ask what the targets are for?" Twilight asked.

"They're mostly used for Winger's power blast, Cutter's spike shot and fire blast, and Burple's rock spit," Dak explained.

"And Summer's water breath as well as Aggro's fireballs," Leyla added.

"And not only is this place our base of operations, its also our home," Dak added.

"And what's that place? Saivon Rey asked as he looked at an entrance under the lighthouse.

"Oh, that? That's just the dragon den," Dak answered.

"And since Winger, Summer, and the other three are not outside practicing or eating fish, it's safe to say, they're in there," Leyla added.

...

Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro were laying on their bellies in a circle around their fire. They were not pleased at all. Ever since they saw the power of Discord's Chaos Magic, they didn't want to speak in front of all Huttsgalorians. Soon, their unpleased faces turn to wide eyed faces as they saw Dak and Leyla opening the doors to their den as they were followed by the Skylanders.

"Guys, why did you leave me and Dak back at the village?" Leyla asked.

Aggro, who laid next to Burple on his right, started to smile sarcastically. "Really? Did you forget that a certain mixed-up magical creature broke the rules of our world?" Aggro asked them with an angry glare.

Discord started to interact. "Now, I'll have you know that it was sooo boring to just let humans hear only roars, screeches, and growls coming from you're mouths. In fact, you should be thanking me," he said as he points his lion thumb to the center of his chest.

Aggro started to stand up quickly with an even more angry face as her scales started to glow bright red, along with her ram-like horns glowing yellow. She flew right into Discord's face. "Thank you?! We have dealt with three bad dragons, Magnus and Axel Finke, and Waldondo Del Mundo twice with Svetlana the Sly, and Erik the Wretched. Three pirates, who tried to steal a Golden Dragon egg that can only be laid every 100 years! So, basically, we handled everything without having our fellow Huttsgalorians be able to hear us talk," she finished and went back to laying beside Burple.

Cutter, who laid on Burple's left, started to speak. "She does have a point. Haha! "Point"! Get it!" He said as he mentioned his spikes. Then, he laughed for a little until he went back to looking serious.

Summer, who laid across from Cutter with a campfire in between them, started to speak her turn. "It's not like we don't want to talk to our friends, like, Chief Duggard, Hannahr, Elbone, Marena--"

"And Finngard and his mom, right, Summer?" Burple pointed out despite interrupting his water-spitting friend.

"Okay, yes, Burple. Them, too. We really do want those guys and gals to hear us talk, but there are SOME that probably don't NEED to hear us talk," Summer said.

"Some? Need? Don't you mean a LOT of pirates and other humans don't DESERVE to hear us talk? I mean, there's Magnus and Axel, Waldondo, Svetlana, Erik, and probably more bad people out there who want to either hunt or steal dragons, or dragon eggs," Cutter pointed out.

Winger, began to speak. "I'm with Cutter on this one," he said. Then Winger flew over the fire and in front of the crowd.

"Really?" Summer asked surprisingly as she lifted her left eyebrow up.

"Yeah. I mean, Magnus tried to get rid of us by accusing Burple of eating the town's prized sheep, Haggis--"

"Which I didn't because he was my friend."

"We know that, Burps. Then, he tried to get rid of Cutter because he thought he was scaring the sheep on the other side of the island because of his firebreath."

"Which, of course, me being the only one on the team who can breathe ACTUAL fire at the time is pretty understandable," Cutter points out once again.

"But it was really me trying to protect the sheep by making a wall of fire to scare away the wolves, which no one thought that wolves would go anywhere to find their prey," Aggro explained. Then she looks at Jonathan, Michael, Savion, and Luke. "No offense to you, Michael, Saivon, and Luke, of course, Jonathan," she said.

"None taken," Jonathan said.

"Then, he tried to replace us by making a Mechano-Dragon," Summer said.

"Mechano-Dragon?" Twilight asked.

"Its one of Magnus's crazy contraptions that always fail in the end," Winger explains.

Fluttershy started to speak as she walks up on Twilight's left. "That's not so bad. As in "always fail in the end" that is, right?" The Elemental Bearer of Kindness asked.

"Of course," Winger answered.

Twilight and Fluttershy started smiling. But then Summer came walking up on Winger's right side and laid down next to him.

"That was the case indeed. However...?" she pauses in suspense as she looks at Winger and he looks back at her.

Twilight and Fluttershy dropped their smiles.

Winger sighs deeply. "However, that was until we discovered that this ONE invention of his... actually seemed to work," he said.

"How so?" Smolder asked.

"The first time he built the Mechano-Dragon, he made it so that when piloted, thanks to his nephew, Axel, he managed to make that hunk of junk fly and pick stuff up with its retractable legs," Summer told them.

Cutter got up and walked over to Winger's left and laid down beside him while Burple flies over next to Cutter. Aggro flied over onto Summer's right.

"It was so heartbreaking to see that sight that it made me say, and I quote, "It kinda felt like... Huttsgalor didn't need us anymore," Aggro recited the words she used in S2-EP3: Mechano Dragon.

(Seriously, if you have NOT watched the show, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you do BEFORE READING THIS STORY. It's on Netflix if you have it or not).

"Oh! My," Fluttershy said with one of her familiar one-liners.

Twilight however retraced Summer's words back a little. "Wait. "First time"? You mean he's made more?" She asks.

"Indeed. Well, he made two versions of it. Mechano-Dragon 1.0 was red, yet it was gone forever. I mean, we had to save Axel by removing him from the unstable contraption as it flew away, never to be seen again," she explained.

Cutter butted in. "Until it came back and trashed not only our good luck lanterns, but all of the Huttsgalorians' good luck lanterns. All of us were so mad that Magnus created an invention that not only was supposed to do our jobs, but also by ruining one of Huttsgalor's traditions. Funny to me, at least when he ran away scared. I still can't believe Chief Duggard made him chief for a day. Man, the look on Magnus's face as he realized he messed up at the Spring Festival. Oh! Which reminds me, Huttsgalor has TONS of festivals. Even a festival of all the festivals," he finished.

"Then, when I was molting, which I can only molt at a hot place to shed off my old scales, Magnus made ANOTHER Mechano-Dragon. This time, it had a suit of armor made with belzium, a purple rock that can withstand super hot heat like the lava on Volcano Island."

"Wait! You were molting inside one of the most deadliest places to sightsee in the history of the world? Respect," Jonathan said as he beat against his chest/heart twice with his right paw at the end of his sentence.

"Thanks. Also, the Mechano-Dragon 2.0 had longer claws, and, surprisingly, not all parts of the invention was covered in belzium. The nuts and bolts weren't even covered in belzium. Good thing Burple saved me from getting a little too hot," Aggro explained.

"Everyone didn't want to burn, and I didn't want to burn either, but Aggro was in trouble and I was the only one who got more close to her than Winger," Burple said. "With some help by carrying two baskets of snow, as well as filling up all of my four stomachs to the brim with fluffy, yet, cold snow. My stomachs didn't agree with what I ate, but like I said earlier, yet again, "anything for Aggro."

"Wow. Talk about major brain-freeze, heehee," Michael joked with his right paw on the left side of his snout.

"You have no idea," Burple replied

"How DID you get close to her anyhow, darling?" Rarity asked.

"When Magnus's Mechano-Dragon broke apart due to the bolts being fried, we decided that one of us should go in there to rescue Aggro. Soooo, I volunteered to do it even though I didn't want to. But, Aggro was in there, so I had to do it because I was the only one to get close enough because I'm a Rockspitter. So, Leyla told me to eat three clumps of ore with a terrible taste, but it was worth it, because Belzium was highly magnetic to a certain type of ore. So, the parts from the Mechano-Dragon became a suit of armor for me. Then, I rushed in to save Aggro. As soon as I rescued her, I flew as fast as I could until I couldn't fly anymore," Burple explained.

Twilight and the girls started to gasp in shock.

"Good thing a steam of black smoke erupted and hit us, mainly me because it gave me the boost to finish molting and be able to carry Burple. Good things always happen to a dragon when they finish molting because it increased my size a little and greatly increased my strength to carry Burple out of there. It even increased my firepower," Aggro added.

Twilight and her friends sighed in relief.

"Anyhow, we also discovered that strange things had happened, such as look-a-like spikes that resembled Cutter's, an area in the woods with fire everywhere, and even our targets were missing. But when we got to the village, we discovered that Magnus has rebuilt the Mechano-Dragon yet again. And we also discovered that the new Mechano-Dragon 3.0, or the Mechano-Multi-Dragon, was behind the random spikes in town, the fire in the woods, and our missing targets," Summer explained.

"He took a certain key element of our dragon nature and put them in his machine. Which, by the way, was now covered with belzium armor with both a long neck, a long tail, and walks on all fours. But that's beside the point. For example, he stole my spike shot ability," Cutter said.

"He stole my fireballs," Aggro added.

"He also stole my water breath," Summer added as well.

"And he stole my rock-spitting ability," Burple added the last part.

"He stole our powers so that he could easily replace us," Summer said. "He even used our targets to show off its moves which were OUR moves in front of the whole village, including Chief Duggard. I was all "H2-Oh, no he didn't," she finished.

"Luckily, we wanted to prove that it wasn't better than us by holding a competition over at the ravine filled with hot geysers we call "Boiling Springs Valley." I raced Axle as he piloted it, but lost because I didn't want to fry myself; even if I'm a Firefury," Aggro pointed out.

Cutter went next.

"After Axle won and Aggro lost, Chief Duggard, after realizing that Boiling Springs Valley was dangerous, said that there should be a sign to tell others to stay away. But we all thought that it would be a good idea to just cause a blockade in the form of a rockslide. Which Magnus boasted yet again that his "metal dragon" can easily create the avalanche. But, he figured that all of our special powers cannot cause a rockslide. But on the night after showing his latest invention with our stolen powers, and when Dak told him about Winger's Power Blast, he became stumped when he realized that his prized invention didn't have that "special" skill. I mean, who can stop a dragon with the power of lightning like our buddy, Winger, am I right? But what really happened that night, was when Magnus made an antenna to attract a bolt of lightning; a living, unstable force of nature with a box to contain it," he explained. Then, Summer went next.

"We actually discovered that he went to extremely, yet dangerous measures to copy Winger's Power Blast the next day when it started going on a rampage, causing damage all over our home. After discovering that Winger's Power Blast couldn't take it down, and figuring out that combining our powers (except for Winger) was the key to destroying Magnus's crazy invention, Magnus knew he didn't want to be there with everyone staring at him and Axle, so the two ran off. Talk about feeling embarrassed, let alone feel humiliated yet again," Summer explained and jested.

Winger continued.

"Then, one day, with a special event called the "Game of Horns," Chief Duggard had to temporarily give up his crown and title to see if he could win yet again to remain chief," Winger said.

"Actually, he explained that he was lucky enough to get his first win due to his fellow competitor getting sick after tasting his cooking, hehe," Cutter chuckled. "But... even if he was lucky enough to win in a weird way, he has been taking care of Huttsgalor and his fellow Huttsgalorians like a true chief. I say that because I'm his favorite dragon, he even said that when I was found innocent when Aggro was inducted into the Rescue Riders," he said which caused Winger, Summer, Aggro, and Burple to raise their eyebrows. Cutter looked left and right. "Then again, we're all his favorite dragons because of the many times we have saved Huttsgalor, hehe," he awkwardly giggled a little.

"Well, hail to the chief. If that's not a true chief, then I don't what it is. Good thing his competitors knew he would have no trouble winning again," Jonathan said.

"That was the case, especially since two of the friendly competitors were none other than Fainting Otil and Elbone," Aggro said.

"Elbone was in the competition?" Ember asked.

"Yep. But you won't believe who else was in the competition," Aggro stated in dreaded hope.

"Was it that cute human boy, Finngard?" Fluttershy asked as she placed her hooves on her face as it puckered up like she was about to kiss a baby.

"Think "meaner"-- a LOT "meaner," Aggro pointed out.

"No way! Magnus was one of the competitors?!" Saivon asked defiantly with his arms crossed.

"You would think that after nearly destroying Huttsgalor so many times, he'd be banned from entering that contest," Shiny states.

"Yeah, but they allowed him anyway. Especially, when he entered with both Axle and his Mechano-Dragon," she pointed out yet again.

"Brawk! That's cheating! Especially with the Mechano-Dragon!" Shiny shouted.

"We thought so, too. But guess what? The rulebook said that any competitor can have the aid and support from his family members and there were no rules against having a Mechano-Dragon," she finished. "Especially since there were never Mechano-Dragons in the past," she added her final sentence.
(Don't worry, she won't stop talking later on in the chapter).

"Well, that's just crappie. Even if there was a rule that you can get aid from your family members, that shouldn't at least fit with Magnus," Michael pointed. "If I had help with my family, I would at least ask them to let me do this by myself."

Cutter went next.

"Um, no offense, Mike, but aren't your bandmates and the Extreme Squad technically your family?" He asked.

"Well, duh. But I can at least have their support if I was in any competition, such as the Game of Horns. But, I wouldn't be the chief. Believe me, I would act more like a tyrant if I had won and had that kind of power. So, it be best if I help someone else become the true king rather than some guy who relies on machines rather than living beings, like Magnus."

"Well said, Michael. Well said," Jonathan said as he placed his left paw onto the sky blue-colored werewolf's right shoulder.

"Thanks, buddy," Michael replied back.

"So, what else happened that day?" Luke asked.

Summer went on to tell him and the others. "Well, Luke, Leyla decided that in order to help Duggard was to tell him to adopt her and Dak, and the rest of us."

"Wow! Really?" Michael asked.

"Mhm. We even got together for a group hug after Leyla went on to talk about how he could win the competition with help from us. But... he just quickly said "yes"; implying that he sees us as his kin when we risk our lives to protect Huttsgalor," Summer said.

"Then we heard sniffling while we were all hugging, and thought it would be Burple," Aggro started.

"Which I said it wasn't," he stated.

"Then we discovered that it was Cutter who was crying," she finished.

"What? No, I didn't. I told you, I had something in my eye," Cutter rejected.

"Really, Cutter? Then what about the time you were worried sick for Sizzle; the baby Slobbering Smelter, the acid-drooling dragon when you wanted him gone in the first place?" She asked.

"Fine, I can be sentimental, sometimes. But to tell you the truth, I discovered he treated me as his mommy because I was colored yellow like a Yellow Tail Pike; his favorite type of food just like me, remember?"

Aggro thought about it and came with a conclusion. "Hmmm, fair point," she said.

"Then, we were helping Duggard win first at every event. Like me when I used a Power Blast at the stump of the tree to knock a lot of apples out from the top," Winger said. "But that was the second event. The first one was rock hurling."

After Winger said that, Burple started to blush.

Spyro went next.

"You know, as someone who can also spit rocks, you probably had it in the bag, Burple," he compliment.

"Thanks for the compliment, Spyro. Buuuut....," he started awkwardly.

Cynder walked up on Spyro's right.

"What's wrong, Burple?" She asked sincerely.

"Even, though, I'm a dragon, and not a chicken, I actually chickened out in the third event," he said.

"Third event"? I thought you said that rock hurling was the first one, Winger?" She asked.

Summer spoke up. "Actually, the Game of Horns started off with Archery, which Duggard said he was good at it. But, when Duggard started his turn, Magnus told Axel to move the Mechano-Dragon's head to the right so that a ray of sunshine would cause Duggard to stagger as he was about to shoot," she explained.

"(Growls Tiger-like)Those dirty, low-life, cheating scoundrels," Jonathan growled with his arms in front of him with his right fist in his left paw.

"Luckily, before Duggard was almost close to shooting his arrow, he tried to hold on, which it gave me time to fly over between Duggard and Magnus and Axle,(mostly Magnus and Axle); covering the sun with my body so that Duggard could fire his arrow properly without being sabotaged," she explained. "Luckily, he managed to hit the edge at the bottom of the center of the target. But then Magnus told Axle to pull a lever to fire an arrow from the mouth of the wannabe dragon, which hit the center of the target," she added.

"Despite there's no rule against a Mechano-Dragon, I still call it cheating, especially if Magnus wasn't so full of himself that he could've operated the machine himself," Jonathan said with his arms crossed like Saivon's.

"True. But just like you said, he would still be "cheating." I may have a magic infused robot hand-slash-paw, but even I know I'm not dumb enough to stoop down to Magnus's level to cheat when I'm in a competition," Saivon said as he still had his arms crossed.

"Since Otil, who we just called the "fainting guy", well, "fainted" before the event started and was quickly removed from competition, Elbone was the only one left to fire his arrow at his target. But, he was probably scared that he would accidentally hurt someone, so he gave a little arrow shot, which proved to be weak, then he tried asking asking for a do-over."

"Soooo, did he get a do-over? Pinkie Pie asked.

Summer shook her head to the left and right once. "You can only get one shot, but Elbone was still in the game, but didn't get a point. At least he tried, though. Duggard, however, was lucky to get a point thanks to me for helping him by blocking the sun from his eyes. Then, the second event was Tree Climbing. Duggard couldn't get a grip on his tree, Elbone was climbing so well, that after seeing that Duggard couldn't climb, Elbone got a little too cocky, and lost his grip, and fell back to the ground. He tried his best yet again, at least, but it still didn't give him a point."

"To be honest, if Elbone managed to do everything so well, and got more points than Duggard and Magnus, wouldn't he at least be a good chief, considering that he likes you the same as the other vikings?" Applejack asked.

"You know, Applejack is right, Dak. Even if Elbone somehow did manage to make more points than Duggard and Magnus, he shares the same love for our dragons just like Duggard himself, Hannahr, Marena, Finngard, Finngard's mother, even along with the other villagers. So, I guess, in a weird way, Elbone would probably be a good chief just like Duggard until the next Festival of Festivals and Game of Horns in next four years," Leyla pointed.

Everyone, except for Dak and Leyla, and their dragons, started staring at them with their eyes opened widely.

"Four years?!" They all exclaimed.

"Well, we do have so many festivals on this island, so yeah," Dak shortly pointed out which everyone accepted.

"Back to the Tree Climbing Event, Jonathan, you can probably guess how Magnus managed to win," Summer said.

"Let me guess, did Magnus stood like a tree, pull his arms out so that Axle; the one piloting the dragon, would pick him up, fly him up to the top of the tree and drop him at the top, ultimately winning another point?" He questioned the Fastfin.

Summer was dumbfounded. "Uh, yes, that's exactly what happened. How did you know that?"

"In the world of Dragonia, we tribal werewolves have the power to look into one's memories or others at the same time to see their memories, secrets, and when they're lying. Believe me when I say, "it's unwise, very unwise, to lie to a tribal werewolf." And how we can use this special, tactical power, is with one sniff from our noses," he explained. "Besides, me, Michael, Saivon and Luke, used it earlier, just when we first met when we came to save you and your entire village from those Slinkwings," he finished explaining.

Aggro spoke up. "Wait, you mean to tell us, that you smelled our memories earlier, and didn't think to tell us before we started explaining our troubles?" She asked her scales started to glow brighter and her horns glowing yellow.

"To be fair, you didn't ask," Jonathan pointed out with his right index finger. "And we thought it would be fair if you told your troubles yourself."

Aggro started to glow less brighter, indicating that she was calming down.

"I guess that's a fair point," she said.

"Ahem! Back to the Game of Horns, there was another event you probably know is where we first teamed up with Duggard," Summer said.

"The Rock Hurling Event, right? Spyro asked.

"Yes. The same event we know that Burple would do GREAT, but didn't do anything," she said which cause everyone to ponder on what she meant by that.

Cynder started to look at Burple. "What did she mean by that, Burple?" She asked.

"Earlier that day, we were practicing on how to expect the unexpected by shooting targets of red, blue, orange, green, and purple. I was the first to go when Dak unexpectedly told me to shoot the purple target by saying "Burple, Purple!", but wasn't ready; meaning I don't work well under pressure, and both Dak and Leyla demonstrated with the others and told me to try and shoot one of them at a time, but I couldn't aim right; couldn't hit any of the targets. Which was what led me to skipping the event that was right up my alley," Burple explained.

"Dude, that's why you didn't want to help? Brother, I feel the same way because I'm not good at multi-tasking all the time, which puts me under pressure," Jonathan stated.

Spike went next. "I felt that way too when I felt super nervous that I couldn't breathe fire at the opening ceremony for the Equestria Games because I had to breathe fire in front of thirty-thousand Crystal Ponies. But, I discovered that my fire only comes out when I'm determined. Seeing that huge crowd of ponies and griffins that day - made me believe that I would let everybody down. Then, I embarrassed myself by singing the Crystal Empire's Anthem."

"What was wrong with that?" Burple asked.

"Shining Armor, both Twilight's big brother, and my big adoptive brother, announced that I was supposed to sing the Cloudsdale Anthem since it was the Wonderbolts; a group of talented flyers who also served as the protectors of Equestria, who actually won the first game event. I was so confused and so shocked, that I was like, "Wait! The Cloudsdale Anthem?!" He told me that they play the anthem of who won the first event of a flying relay race. And there was a big problem: I didn't know the God-darned lyrics!" he explained with his voice risen a little.

Winger went next. "Why did you think singing would help you feel better?"

Spike looks at Twilight on his right. He started to glare at her.
"Do you wanna tell them? Or should I?"

Twilight sighed depressingly. "During the Equestria Games, Unicorn Magic was prohibited while the Games were on thanks to a Magic Disabling spell. However, it didn't apply for Alicorns, such as myself along with Celestia, Luna, or even Cadence. When Spike was having trouble starting the Games, I did something that I didn't want to, yet, somehow did for Spike's sake: I broke the rule of using magic."

Winger and others, including Dak and Leyla, became shocked after hearing what she just said.

Discord spoke up. "(Ooh) Oooohh! I didn't know there was a rule breaker inside you, Twilight. Who knew you had it in you," he gloated.

"It's not something I take pride in doing, but I couldn't just stand there seeing Spike having some trouble in front of everyone, including our friends. So, I made sure that no one was watching and covered the left side of my horn and... *sighs depressingly*... I.. lit the the giant torch that Spike was supposed to lit himself. And after thinking he had the power to "create fire"... with his mind, I had to stop his silly imagination by telling him he couldn't. He asked me how to explain how he did it in front of thousands and thousands of ponies, which I stopped him there; telling him that I did it - I lit the fire for him in front of thousands and thousands of Crystal Ponies, including our friends, and the other teams. Especially that one team filled with griffons. All I know is that I broke his spirit... and his trust."

Cutter spoke up. "Woooow, that was.... very cruel of you to do, Twilight."

"I know. I learned that the hard way. But, despite that I secretly broke the rule to not use magic to cheat, the rule was that I couldn't use my magic DURING the games. The games couldn't even start without the opening ceremonial torch being lit. Even though I broke his trust, I at least helped him get through the beginning of it with my magic."

Spike started to smile. Then, he looks back at Burple.

"So basically, Burple, many of us here had to work terribly under pressure. But who took your place in the Rock Hurling Event?" Spike asked.

"Cutter did. And actually, it's called "Rock Tossing."

"Oh, that makes a lot of sense and is much better than rock hurling."

Cutter spoke up. "Despite the fact that he lied into weaseling out of the event, I was lucky enough to use a move I got from me and Burple's friends, the Flyhoppers of Flyhopper Island. So, I grabbed a shovel, placed it under a rock, flew high into the sky and back down; adding my weight to the handle that gave a power boost to my throw; ultimately winning us a point when it went farther than Magnus and Axle's rock."

Winger went next. "Then, at the next event, Duggard had to perform a dance after Elbone and Magnus. Elbone started, and he seemed to do good with his supposedly male rock, Rocky."

"Haha! I get it! "Rocky"! Pfft, ahahah! Because he's a rock!" Jonathan laughed uncontrollably until he caught himself by clearing his throat. "Please, continue," he said as he uncrossed his arms, placed his right paw on his heart, and his left paw out to Winger.

"Elbone, while he started the game event, was wearing a fancy hat as he was carrying Rocky, and a red cape."

"Just like the Tango," Twilight said.

"So, that's what its called in your world. Well, he started off good, which everyone started to like a little, until three seconds later, Magnus and Axel scared him off so that Magnus performed some kind of machine-like dance move that seemed to get everyone to feel shocked and confused. After that, Duggard started to tap his feet on the ground as he performed a classic viking dance. But, it was making his fellow Huttsgalorians feel sick, since he had a little bit of stage fright. But that was quickly cured when me and Dak joined in, which it wasn't embarrassing since we both wanted to help and joining the dance help boosted the Chief's confidence. Then, there was that Sculpturing event, which we didn't help."

"Why didn't you help him in that event?" Garble asked.

"Because that event was Duggard's specialty. Elbone created a weird object while Magnus created a sculpture.... of his head."

"Figures he would do that. That viking is so full of himself," Smolder said with her arms crossed.

"But the winner was Duggard, especially when he created a podium with the town's prized sheep, Haggis. It was even bigger than both Elbone and Magnus's sculptures. Duggard said that being the chief is his job, while making sculptures is his passion," Winger explained.

"Everyone needs a hobby," Discord said.

Summer went next. "Then, there was the Fishing Event, and you won't believe who won that event," she proclaimed.

"Who?" Twilight asked.

"Elbone," she answered. "After all, he is amazingly good at fishing, which is why he's the town's best fisherman. But, he didn't seem too excited to finally get a point, considering that he treats his specialty like a curse and would rather do a different job to get away from fishing. I mean, while the event was going on, he just sat on the dock, looking depressed and frustrated; because he hates fish," Summer explained.

"What? Why would he hate fish? Everyone else in the village loves fish; why not him?" Shiny asked.

"Because the villagers don't mind the slimy taste or the stinky smell that comes from fish. But, Elbone, however, does seem to mind the feeling and taste of fish as well as the smell. Anyway, when he won his first point, he quickly cheered; saying that it was "anyone's game." But that all turned for the worst when he discovered that both Duggard with us, and Magnus with Axel, were tied with more points than him. Elbone said it "wasn't anyone's game", and he dropped out of the entire event," she explained.

"Wow. I actually feel bad for Elbone. He tried so hard to earn a point and when he finally does get a point, he quickly drops out, knowing that he couldn't win," Saivon said.

"Finally, it was time for the final event; The Race of Doom," Summer explained.

"Race of Doom?" Smolder asked.

"It's a one-lap race from here, through a side of a mountain with tangle vines that have a mind of their own, through Boiling Springs Valley, through a frozen river, and back to Huttsgalor," she explained.

Winger went next. "Duggard offered to go alone as he thanked us for getting him that far in the competition, until Leyla told him that Magnus was running while inside the Mechano-Multi-Dragon. So, he gladly took her offer to take one of us to ride on during the race."

"I can see myself as not a good choice to ride on since I'm covered in spikes literally from head to tail," Cutter explained. "But none of us, including Dak and Leyla, could move, even Summer for crying out loud, when we were stuck in hardened Slinkwing goo. But we discovered that it was quickly hardened thanks to a certain viking, who used liquidized belzium to make it harden faster," he said.

The Fusionators could tell who it was.

"Magnus! Of course he would do something like that," Jonathan snarled.

Aggro started to speak. "But he didn't waste any of it on Burple; because he knew that Burple was the slowest member of the Rescue Riders both in the air, and on land. No offense, Burple," she said quickly not to offend her friend.

"None taken. After all, it is true. I am slow both on land, and in the air. Duggard went alone to try and catch up to Magnus and Axel. However, thanks to Leyla, who got out of the goo because only her boots were stuck in it, gave me confidence that I can help win the race. The others gave me confidence, too, telling me that they don't think that I'm the worst dragon. So, with Leyla, we raced through the forest and managed to catch up to Duggard, who quickly understood that my speed is just like my normal speed, and helped give me confidence as well. Then, we raced past the tangle vines, tried to get through Boiling Springs Valley without getting, well, boiled, which Magnus just waited as he and Axel watched the three of us jump back and forth from the geysers," he explained which caused the four werewolves to growl like tigers as well as everyone else. "Then, when we reached the frozen river, Magnus, with help from Axel pulling another lever, caused the Mechano-Multi-Dragon to pull out its claws to stick to the ice, while the three of us were sliding uncontrollably. Even when we got to the last part of the race, which we slide all the way because of the ice, we could see Magnus a few feet away from the finish line."

"But, when we were at the finish line with every other viking, Magnus was boasting and had a list of things he wanted to get off his chest," Cutter said.

"Then, after Leyla told me to look at the boulder of belzium that almost destroyed the town if not for me, I went back on to what Leyla said and for the second time ever I got an idea. So, I told both Leyla and Duggard to get off my back so I could roll up into a ball and roll down the mountain to gain incredible speed, which I tumbled over the Mechano-Dragon, then Magnus almost won the race when he tried jumping for it, but at least he wasn't athletic. So, I purposely rolled over on top of Magnus and voila, I won the race and entire event," Burple explained in happiness.

The Mane6, the werewolves, and the Dragons started clapping.

"Great job, Burple!" Ember cheered.

"I love the part where you tumbled onto Magnus to win the race," Garble said as he chuckled.

"Serves him right for being a coward and a cheater, as well as a liar," Smaug said.

"If there was another Game of Horns, and Magnus and Axel were using the Mechano-Dragon again, believe me when I say, that those two cowards will fear the name of "Skylanders," Rainbow Dash promised.

Winger, liking her confidence, started to reply in happiness. "I like your enthusiasm, and thanks," he accepted.

Then, everyone heard three knocks coming from behind the Fusionators.

"Dak! Leyla! You in there? Are Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro alright?" The chief of Huttsgalor asked from outside the Dragon Den.

Then, they heard a Scottish woman with a little ruff voice. "They haven't come down with anything from their encounter with the Slinkwings, have they?" Hannahr asked.

Finally, they heard one more voice that sounded cool with a friendly vibe coming it. "If so, I can go fishing for some fish until they feel better. Maybe some Yellow Tail Pike for Cutter?" Elbone asked.

As soon as he said that, Cutter stood right up, smiling at the near mention of Yellow Tail Pike. He was about to say the species of fish until he was getting looked at by the depressed faces of his fellow dragons. Then, he sat back down with a depressed face of his own.

The next chapter will be a follow-up to this one.

More Skylanders for Hire Part 1

Master Eon and Hugo were inside the library with Spyro and Cynder of the Skylander universe. They were waiting to see the new heroes from other realms that Eon has brought ever since he sent Spike and the others to the world of Vikings riding dragons. They continued to wait until they heard a familiar voice. Then, a green mist appeared and quickly disappeared, revealing none other than...

"Elf!" Spyro said as he flew from Eon's right and in front of the captain of the Life element, and hugged her, who she retaliated by hugging one of her best friends. Spyro pulls back yet with his paws still on her shoulders. "It's so good to see you again," he said until he eyed down at what he was looking at for what she was wearing. "Wow, Stealth! I like the new digs," he said as walked around her from right to left and stopped in front of her as looked at her new appearance like a sitting dog.

"Thanks, Spyro. During my vacation eversince Eon sent the Fusionators to the world of dinosaurs who commandeered trains and other types of travelling machines, I decided I was so long for an overdue of appearance. One, I still kept my shirt with my ninja mask, but it was time to change my wristbands into fingerless princess gloves," she said as she pushed her arms.
"Then, I decided to be one with my element by getting rid of my pants and switched for hand-me-down shorts, and ninja thigh high boots," she said as she waved her hands down to her shorts and boots. "Aaannd," she pauses until she removed her ninja headband with her right head,"... I also decided to have a new hairdo," she said as she pointed her left hand at her hair. It had her hair straight up in three locks as they were bent backwards like a wild girl as she still kept her braided ponytail.

"Wow, but it looks like you still kept your ponytail," he said.

"I gotta admit, some old habits aren't worth replacing. Oh, I even mastered the arts of shapeshifting. Now, I can turn into a green tiger with blue stripes. I still keep my Dragon Fang Daggers, and I can still teleport. And now, I can also shoot arrows with my new Dragon Fire Bow and Arrows," she explained.

Master Eon starts to speak.

"It is good to see you that made it back safely, Stealth Elf," he said. Then he, Hugo, Spyro and Elf heard some noises in another room. After taking a few seconds of hearing the noises, Eon told the others that he would see what was happening. He went to see many types of weird beings.

One of them was a man with an owl head, wearing a red jacket and khakis. The second one, was a man in a blue hoodie with a hockey mask strapped upon his face. There was also a red man with an x over his right eye. There was a cybernetic man with glasses as he worn a biker jacket as he had spiky orange hair. There was also a humanoid pig with black pants that had pink stripes, a white T-shirt with the head of a pink tiger, and a motorcyclist helmet. Followed up with a man with a green T-Shirt with the design of a stack of pancakes. There was one dude who looked exactly like Finn the Human, except he had brown skin. Then, there was a humanoid monkey with a red jacket. There was also a squirrel with metal stitched onto one half of his head. There was a purple elephant with human hands and feet. There was also a man with a grey bandana over his eyes. There was even a human with an eagle head.

"Is there a problem, young lads?" Eon asked.

The owl headed man with the red jacket stood in front of Eon.

"You bet there is! I mean, what the fork, man?!" The owl man shouted until he stared wide-eyed of what just came out of his mouth. "Fork"? Fork! FORK! What the Devil, man? What happened to my words? I was trying to say," he stopped as he composed himself in the form of fist pumping his right hand close to his chest while closing his eyes. "Why can't I say the "f" word?" he asked as he opens his eyes yet again.

"In this world, despite the laws of the fourth wall, you can't cuss. But you can fuss," he answered.

"Fuss?" The man with hockey mask asked.

"Some words you know will be replaced with words in a fun way despite the fact you're actually saying it," he explained. "But may I ask, what's your name?" Eon asked.

"Evan Fong. But, since we're all in dimension with floating rocks and magical creatures, my name... is Vanossgaming. "Vanoss" for short," he explained.

"I'm H2O Delirious. But you can just call me "Delirious."

"I'm David, but can call me "Nogla"... "DaitheDeNogla."

"I am Tyler as well as Wildcat. "I Am Wildcat" is my full name, but "Wildcat" works."

"Luke Patterson, but everyone calls me "Cartoonz."

"I'm BasicallyIDoWork, but "Basically" is fine. My real name is Marcel, but, I'm fine either way."

"I'm Lui Calibre. But I'm fine with just being called "Lui."

"Yo, I'm Gorillaphent, but "Rilla" is cool, too."

"Moo. Moo Snuckel. But my real name is "Brock."

"Brian's my real name. "Terroriser" is my cooler name."

Golden Dragons and Dragon Classes

The Rescue Riders, along with the Dragons, Twilight and her friends, all go down to the village of Huttsgalor to go get supplies to help with rebuilding the town. The Rescue Riders insisted that they all walk slowly, much to Rainbow's demise.
On their way down, Shiny ran in front and walked beside Dak and Leyla on their right.

"Escuse me, Dak and Leyla, but what else did you do here? Aggro mentioned something about a Golden Dragon. What IS a Golden Dragon, anyway?" Shiny asked.

"Well, if I remember correctly, Waldondo Del Mundo gave us a map that also holds a riddle to find out where Gemma was. That's the name of the Golden Dragon, by the way," she said.

"First, we had to deal with Erik the Wretched, seems bad to the bone at first, but when he tried to broker a deal with us, he actually sounded like a gentleman. Winger and Summer were our bodyguards, but we told Cutter, Burple, and Aggro to stay in the air, hovering over us in case when things go hairy, which it did after we told Erik that we wouldn't help him and his crew steal the egg. He ordered his crew to fire two nets onto both Winger and Summer. Good thing the two managed to find a way out. But then, Erik took his crew into a cave with gold painted at the entrance. Unknown to him that it was a path filled with booby traps," he explained.

"Next, we had to find a way to get to Gemma ourselves, after me and Summer had to discuss what was truly golden. She believed that a path with flowers would lead us to the next clue while I suggested that we took the one that was silent. After all, silence is golden, which at least Aggro would tell me sometimes," Cutter explained.

"Well, I did say before that I have said that... a lot," Aggro added.

"But Summer said that my observation wasn't "logical" enough for her, so, Leyla suggested that we split up, after she made a copy of the map and the riddle, of course. Summer went inside the start of her flower path and took Leyla and Burple with her, while I took Winger, Dak, and Aggro in my path of peace and quiet. But, while we were going down my path, we ran into an army of bugs, which you can't believe, just like the rest of us, that our Winger, was afraid of bugs," he said with a chuckle afterwards with Aggro, surprisingly following with him in his laughs.

"Hey! I said they freak me out," Winger said with a little defiance in his tone as he defended himself.

"Wait, the tough leader of the Rescue Riders, is afraid of a tiny insect?" Summer said as she started laughing with Leyla, Burple, and the Skylanders.

"Not you guys, too," he said with disappointment. "Besides, there was more than one," Winger pointed out.

Next, they all decided to wait as they got the supplies and started helping all over Huttsgalor. Spike ordered Discord to remove his magic as they helped all around Huttsgalor. Afterwards, they went back to The Roost. They all sat around a campfire, and continued telling their story.

"Turns out, just like certain types of bugs, they love light, which we had a big light in the form of Aggro. I told her to "light up the night" so that the three of us could pass them. Then, we helped Aggro as we lit another lantern and threw it to where she stood, right after she dimmed her glowing body down all the way, of course. Finally, we reached a dead end and discovered that Summer, Leyla and Burple caught up to us. Turns out we discovered that both of our paths were correct and found a secret room. But it was empty, and then we met Svetlana the Sly as she used a giant magnet made out of belzium to trap us since we worn belzium buckles."

"You know, in retrospect, there should be a time and place for the seven of you to wear buckles made entirely out of highly magnetic metal," Jonathan said.

"Yeah, but then, Svetlana was slightly upset when she didn't see anything in the room just like ourselves. But before she came back, we had to hide the map. Good thing we had a Boulder Class dragon with four stomachs, otherwise, she would have gotten one step closer to finding Gemma and her egg," Leyla said.

"Uh, quick question," Saivon started with his right paw held up. "-why would those two pirates want a dragon egg anyway?"

"Actually, there were three pirates, because surprise, surprise, Waldondo tricked us into helping him by leading him closer to Gemma," Cutter said.

"Wow. Let me guess, "every pirate for him or herself"? Saivon asked.

"Yeah. That's exactly what Waldondo said. How did you-- Wait; did you smell that in our memories, too?" Cutter asked.

"No. It's just that the Tribal Werewolf Pirates... are actual pirates," Saivon said.

"You're pirates, too?! I thought it was just a band name for you four," Leyla said.

"Well, it is our band name. But we ain't like THOSE pirates. We're the types whose crimes of piracy are by means of stealing gold and food from the rich to give to the poor," Saivon explained.

"Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I want to be a pirate, too -- help steal from the rich to give to those who desperately need it for survival," Dak said.

"But we already do that, Dak. Except for stealing that is. Wait, you four don't steal dragon eggs, do you?" She asked.

"What?! Are you crazy?! We never steal dragon eggs to get rich, or worse, eat them. In our world, tribal werewolves are "Dragon's Best Friend." We even consider them as our brothers and sisters," Jonathan explained.

"We would rather die than betray a dragon. After all, the four of us were born in the Year of the Dragon, which gives us our Dragon DNA," Mike explained, too.

"Awww, you werewolves aren't monsters. You're just noble and loyal teddy bears... with claws and fangs, of course," Leyla said.

"Why, thank you. You're not so bad yourself. But, please, continue your story," Jonathan told them politely.

"But first, to answer your question, Saivon, the three pirates wanted to steal the golden egg so that they could get rich," Leyla explained.

"Wow, they are truly monsters," Saivon replied.

Soon Cutter went back to telling the story.

"After Svetlana and her pirate crew left, we escaped thanks to Leyla sending them after Erik and Burple freeing us from the magnet by using his neat rock-spitting technique to hit all our belzium buckles."

"Like I said before, I practiced," Burple said shortly after.

"But then, we discovered that Waldo wanted to steal the egg himself and used the magnet to pull the clumps of belzium off the ceiling and trapped us. Then, after minutes of trying to use our spine shots, power blasts, water blasts, fire blasts, and rock-spitting, I discovered we needed to blast the window. Then, shortly after that, even when Burple shot a rock at the count of "two", we counted to "three" once again, and blasted our way out and flew into the sky to catch up to the pirates," he finished.

Winger went next. "Then, as we flew into the sky in hopes of reaching the pirates and stealing back our map, even though it was really Svetlana's map that Waldo stole in the first place, Leyla thought that since Cutter was on edge as he helped us figure out the all clues, that he should be the one to lead us to the Golden Dragon," he explained.

"Wow! What an honor that was, Cutter. Surely, you must've accepted it," Spike said.

"Actually, I didn't want to accept it since I was the prankster of the group, not exactly into leading."

"Winger tried to encourage him, but it didn't work. But, after I told him that he could basically boss us around, he thought I was pranking him until he recessed the role shortly after and decided to lead us on the mission to save Gemma," Burple explained.

"After my plan to get them to attack each other worked as we stole back the map, we continued our hunt for the Golden Dragon. Despite what I just said, it was more of a search for Gemma and protect her egg. But in order to do that, we needed to find a beast we least expected to help lead us to the next riddle on the map,"Cutter said.

"And believe me, the sheep were not friendly when I discovered that their hugs were starting to hurt," Burple said.

"Then, while we trying to escape, the map was loose in the wind until it was on a cliff between me and a sheep that was on the cliff eating grass. We had a showdown as we both raced to get the map. Luckily, before the sheep could eat it, I slid in front of it as I got the map, and jumped onto Winger," Dak explained.

"After we fled from the baa-ad sheep," Cutter started to joke. "- we came across a beast that was truly unexpected: a pack of golden wolves."

The Tribal Werewolf Pirates started to stare wide-eyed at Cutter with everyone else until they all went back to looking at Cutter normally.

"Wait, golden wolves? Actual golden wolves," Twilight asked.

"Well... no. In truth, their fur color was a mixture between light brown and yellow. So, yeah. They were golden wolves," he answered.

"We tried to figure out which beast would expect us the least, which of course, I believed it wouldn't be wolves to help us," Burple said.

"Burps was right about the wolves we faced in the past. But, after him and everyone else flew into the sky before me, I stopped my wings and looked behind me as I started to wonder," Cutter said.

"Wonder about what?" Fluttershy asked the Relentless Razorwing.

"I wondered if the beast we expected the least to help us find the golden dragon... was the pack of golden wolves," he said.

"I told Cutter to fly away but he insisted that he stayed on the ground with the pack of ravenous wolves," Dak said.

"But then Cutter asked what the riddle was. Which, of course, I recited the riddle saying that we needed to find a beast that we "expected the least" to help," Leyla quoted

"So, there I was standing, staring at the wolves as one came running to me. But, I think it's best if you all can see what happened next. Discord?" He asked the Lord of Chaos.

"I thought you'd never ask," Discord said as he snapped his lion finger and thumb, and soon, a yellow outlined portal appeared showing Cutter and the wolf running at him.

They saw Cutter staring at the wolf for a little, and then he turned his head to the right with his eyes closed, and his teeth bared as he started to whine in fear. Everyone started to gasp at what they thought was going to happen as the wolf came closer. Hearing the sound of the running paws drew more closer caused Cutter to whine in fear again. But, then the wolf running towards Cutter stopped.

"Huh?!" The Fusionators said.

Then, the menacingly grinning wolf opened its mouth....

....and licked the left side of Cutter's face.

The Fusionators were shocked. Even Jonathan, Michael, Saivon and Luke were surprised.

After feeling a wet substance touch his face, Cutter said: "Huh?", and then looks at the wolf standing in front of him as he barked friendly as the others had their tongues out as one had his rump raised while he wagged his tail.

Smiling that his wondering question was answered, he looks back at and the others. He then tells Burple that the sheep may not have hugged him, but tells him that he thinks that the wolf just kissed him. "That sheep may not have hugged you, Burps. But I think this wolf just kissed me," Past Cutter said.

Everyone else saw the past Rescue Riders enjoying the company of friendly wolves.

"Whad'ya know? "Man's best friend"," Jonathan said. Next, the Skylanders saw the wolves telling the Riders to follow them and finally lead them to the location of the Golden Dragon. Then, they saw the Rider's pastselves solving a puzzle with pictures of dragons and strange symbols.

"Umm, excuse me, Leyla, what kinds of dragons are those? And what are those symbols?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, we'll get to those soon. Cutter?" Leyla said.

Cutter went back to telling the story. He told them that after solving the puzzles, they finally got to meet Gemma the Golden Dragon. Cutter had ask the Lord of Chaos to show them a picture of Gemma... and then the Lord of Chaos wondered what kind of breath attack she used.

Twilight had to ask about that.

"Umm, is that... glitter?" She asked.

Aggro started to take it from there. "Yep. I had the same reaction to her "golden blast"," she said.

"Golden blast?" She asked.

"Gemma was kinda in denial when she later on knew that she couldn't protect her egg from the three pirates," she explained.

Fume started to react to the statement about the three pirates. "Wait, "three pirates"? I thought you said that you tricked them into fighting each other earlier before you went back to searching for Gemma?" He questioned the young Razorwing.

"I did. But Waldondo must have made a deal with them to work together to share the egg. Which, of course, was true when we went up to Gemma's lookout at the top of her cave, and saw Waldondo, Svetlana, and Erik's pirate ships circling the whole island. They had us trapped so that they can take her egg with force or try to make a deal with us to hand over the egg and no harm would come to neither of us. But, after discovering that we were surrounded and that we needed a plan, everyone looked to me for a plan."

"Didn't you come up with one, though?" Saivon asked.

"No. I mean, why should I? My plan to get them to fight each other backfired as the pirates started working together. But, thanks to my friends encouraging me about how I got us to Gemma by figuring out all the clues, I then came up with a plan yet again to stop them from taking Gemma's egg. And it involved using Gemma's golden glitter attack on three rocks, leaving the real egg inside Gemma's nest the WHOLE time. I mean, we split into two teams while me and Burple were Team 3 with the last rock as the others were smashed by either landing on a floating rock or by landing on a hard helmet with one hard spike. We tried our best evading... but we lost our egg, too. Luckily, we all acted like the "real egg" was gone in the depths of the sea as Summer tries to save it," he explained.

"Even though it was a rock painted gold, I still had to put on a show by staying four seconds underwater," she explained.

"But we also discovered that our friend, Marena, was desguised as Svetlana's first mate. She knew that Waldondo was lying, as well as knowing that we Rescue Riders would never put a defenseless egg in harm's way," Dak explained.

"Then, we all go back to Gemma's cave just in time to see her egg hatch," Winger said.

"Must've been worth the wait, especially since, the egg was laid for a hundred years," Jonathan said.

"Oh, it was. See for yourself," Leyla said as she points her left hand to the magic, floating mirror.

The Fusionators look and saw Gemma's egg starting to crack, as it finally hatched and revealed a very cute baby as it gave cute growl.

"Awww," the Fusionators said.

Then, they see baby chewing on it's eggshell.

"Ewww!" the Fusionators exclaimed.

"Believe me, it was so gross, even when I said those exact words when we first experienced it," Aggro explained.

"After asking her why her baby was eating its eggshell, Gemma said that that's how all baby Golden Dragons get their, and I quote her attack, "golden blast", which they both blew it on us," Leyla explained.

"Luckily, our baths washed it off when we got back to Huttsgalor," Dak explained.

"Okay, so what about those Dragon Classes you were talking about earlier?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, right. There are eight Classes: Strike, Sharp, Boulder, Fear, Stoker, Mystery, Tidal, and Tracker," Leyla said.

"Technically, that was a long time ago back when dragons were feared. In fact, since no one fears them anymore, Fear has turned into Tracker. But, it's best to define them with our dragon buddies," Dak said. "Hit it, Winger!" He exclaimed.

"I'm a Swiftwing; one of the fastest flying dragons ever. But because my species are part of the Strike Class, we are also fast on the ground, but not like, super fast. We have high intelligence; able to understand any situation if it means to earn trust. But like our ground speed, we're not that smart, just enough to show signs of empathy. We're also known for our amazing, vice-like jaw strength. I can literally bite through the thick roots of a Wonderroot Tree. But what makes my species amazing, is our breath attack, known as "power blasts." These purple balls are made of pure energy, or just to be more explainable in quick terms, it's a ball of lightning. But a Swiftwing can charge up a bigger power blast called a "mega blast." Those powerful blasts of ours can destroy anything that is tough to break, such as, rocks glued together by Slinkwing Goo," Winger explained.

"Now let's talk about Tidal Class dragons, like Summer, for example," Leyla said.

"I, am a Fastfin; a species of dragons that don't fear eels. Well, with the exception of me, I have eel phobia. But, when my friends had the Dreaded Dragon Flu, and Leyla was about to be a snack for eels, my Fastfin instincts, as well as seeing my best friend in danger, kicked in as I fought off every eel so Leyla can escape, as well as getting the cure for the Dreaded Dragon Flu, which were strands of a special kind of seaweed that eels love to eat. But anyway, back to the whole species thing, Fastfins like me breathe jet streams of water, which can be used to get rid of Slinkwing goo unless its quickly hardened, cool off Aggro when she needs to chill, and even push enemies away. Tidal Class dragons mostly get around by swimming rather flying. We also have water-based abilities, such as breathing hot water that can melt flesh off of a human, or, breathe a huge amount of ice. Unlike most dragons, our fire chamber, is actually a water chamber. Also, a Fastfin's scales and fin membranes are immune to Slinkwing goo (unless hardened). We can even stay underwater for as long as we can until we need air," Summer explained.

"Now it's time for my class, the Sharp Class," Cutter said.

"Hold on, Relentless Razorwings have the best eyesight, right?" Spike asked.

"Uh, yeah," Cutter replied without question.

"So, based on my assumption, Tracker Class dragons can smell like a bloodhound, or, in your case, can see like an eagle. Needless to say, doesn't that mean you're a Tracker Class?" He asked.

Cutter thinks about it by looking upward to the right in the sky, then looks back at Spike as he gasp in awe. "That's right! I am part of the Tracker Class. But anyway, since you obviously explained the Tracker Class, it's time for the Sharp Class to be known. Sharp Class dragons aren't just known for their sharp spines or spikes, they're also known for their vanity. But, Tracker Class Dragons can sniff or spot anything with both their eyes and noses. Depending on which body part is mostly acquainted with a species of the Tracker Class," Cutter explained.

"Since I'm a Rockspitter, that makes me part of the Boulder Class. In truth, I wish I was part of the Strike Class. I mean, me and Winger are alike in so many ways," Boulder started.

Cutter started to speak. "Aren't those the same exact words you used right after you shot two rocks, one, hitting the Gronkle button while the second one matched it with the symbol of Strike Class dragons? Because last time I checked, your choice in matching dragons nearly got us squashed and flatten us to look like dragon and human-sized pancakes," Cutter reminded him.

"Oh!" Burple replied.

"But we all make mistakes," Winger started.

"My fear of eels almost made it so that if I didn't help Leyla get the seaweed, one of my friends could lose the power of flight."

"Wait a minute, the Dreaded Dragon Flu is known to cause wings not to work anymore?!" Burple asked. "I was mostly worried about getting through the flu, but now I'm worried about losing the power of flight! I can't run fast like the others and you didn't tell us the fact that we could've lost the power of flight!" Burple yelled.

"If I had to make a quick assumption based on what Marena told us, if we had hope, then it will be 50-50 that you're cured as nature took its course, or never be able to fly ever again," Summer sheepishly explained.

"Well, then again, I made a mistake when I used Slinkwing goo to trap Magnus in a metal egg he made for desguise."

"Why would you do that, Cutter?" Fluttershy asked.

"Because he used it to trick us into thinking his desguise was an actual egg so that he could sneak into The Roost and steal Leyla's personal belonging that is the only thing she has left of her mother -- her Dragon Diary," Cutter explained.

Jonathan pounds his right fist into his left paw. "Thievery! That lousy, stealing, thief of a wasted genius!" Jonathan says calmly, yet, with a trace of anger still residing in his tone. Then, he took a quick breath. "You know what? As a fellow prankster, we jokers know there's a time and place to prank. But when it involves someone's personal belonging, just like how you stated Leyla's diary, Cutter, that's when pranksters know when to draw the line when it comes to something someone you care holds dear. But unlike what you just said, Cutter, that wasn't a mistake," Jonathan said.

"What do you mean "wasn't a mistake"? We're trying to prove that not all dragons are mean," Aggro retorted.

"Be as it may, Cutter at least did something right. Because last I checked, you said that when you all arrived in Huttsgalor (with the exception of you, Aggro), Magnus treated you all as terrible beasts, mindless brutes,... and bloodthirsty monsters. When you all grew bigger with Aggro as a well coordinated team, he still treated you all the same, even when his nephew, Axel, moved here. You all think Cutter messed up by sealing Magnus inside his own desguise. But what I hear, despite what the six of you might think or say, Cutter, like I said before, actually did something right when the rest of you were all snug as bugs in rugs. Be glad that he originally woke up for a midnight snack. He trapped Magnus in the fake egg and left it outside so that when the sun comes out, he would've told you the truth about the egg and what happened with Leyla's Dragon Diary. You could've taken the trapped Magnus to Chief Duggard, remove the Slinkwing goo, and hold him responsible for theft as the chief could've forced Magnus to give your precious diary back, Leyla. Ok, it might've been a little mistake to leave him out there where a mama dragon thought it was real, but would you rather wake up on the wrong side with one of Magnus's boots kicking the inside of the fake egg, causing untold ruckus for the rest of the night?"

Leyla, Dak, and the other Rescue Riders looked at each other; nodding and murmuring about how he was right about the noise Magnus would have kept causing.

"But, even if Cutter was doing a good job solving clues of how to find Gemma and her unborn child, why didn't you trust him before, huh? I trust both Mike, Saivon, and Luke with my life! They're not just my best friends, they're my brothers. Sure we don't have the same last names or even relate to each other by blood, but we are brothers, nonetheless. Just like Cutter, he is not just one of your best friends, he's your brother as well."

Cutter looks down, knowing the leader of the Tribal Werewolf Pirates was right, but chose to not say anything as he wanted to hear more from him.

"Just 'cause he's a dragon, or from a different class of dragons, that still doesn't mean you shouldn't love him as a brother ei--"

"Okay, I'll go get some fish for tomorrow so we can have a hearty breakfast. See ya in the morning! Goodnight!" Cutter said as he flew out of the... "dragon's den."

"Looks like we'll have to catch up on the other classes later since it's getting late. And because it's getting late, tonight's a full moon, and we werewolves LOVE to howl. So, we'll see you in the morning. Goodnight!" Jonathan said as he and his fellow werewolves ran outside of the den.

"They're gonna follow Cutter, aren't they?" Leyla asked as she stared at the opened door.

"Eeyep," Summer replied as she stood on Leyla's left and stared at the door as well.

Pranksters to Prankster

Cutter was flying into the outskirts of Huttsgalor to catch some fish. Usually, he would be happy to go looking for fish, especially his favorite, yellow tail pike. But, just like when he was crying because of the special moment during the Game of Horns, only this time, a tear came out of his left eye. But it was only because Jonathan was right; they never trust him like a brother - not even love him like one.

After one sniff, he starts to descend to a sea stack with high speeds until he slowed down a bit, pulled his body upward, and land on his rump as he started sniffling more as water started to build up in his eyes. Then, after two tear drops, one from his right, and the other from his left, he heard flapping, turned his head to the left and saw four dragons, one lavender, one brown, one blue as the sky, and the final one with light blue scales land on the same sea stack. In his vision, from left to right, from Saivon, to Jonathan, Mike, and Luke, they all changed back to their werewolf forms.

Next, he looks down his right cheek as one tear was falling down. Then, he sniffs one more time and swipes the tear into the air as he starts to regain his posture. "Oh, hey guys! Wazzup? I'm not crying or anything, I, uh, have allergies. Yeah, that's it! Allergies! Just allergies. We all have them. It's not that I was crying or anything. Just trying to make sure no one else gets sick is all," he said and then smiled and opened his eyes at the same time widely as he could.

The werewolves gave him a right eyebrow up from each of their faces.

"Really? Cos you seemed fine back there in the den," Savion surmised.

"Saivon's right; you didn't show any sign of allergies back there," Luke applied to Saivon's comment.

"Hey Mike, does it look like Cutter was actually hiding tears? Like he was actually crying?" Jonathan asked.

"Precisely, my good friend. But then again, even scary-looking creatures sometimes cry," Michael added.

"Really?" Cutter asked.

"Of course. But I didn't mean to hurt your feelings back there. Most of the time, I usually confuse others into thinking I'm being all sarcastic; hurt someone's feelings or by upsetting someone without even meaning to do so. It's just how I speak. But, I don't let it bother me. So, back to what I was saying, I'm sorry for earlier," Jonathan replied.

"No! It's not your fault!" Cutter quickly replied to the green werewolf's reply. "Actually... you spoke the truth. Even though they're my best friends, I do feel like they don't see me as a brother, even if we're different dragon species and different classes. But just once, I would love to be called "brother." Then again, me and Burps are good buddies, I think he'll call me "brother" at one point. But the others? Not so much. But thanks for standing up for me, Jonathan," Cutter said.

"Please, we're buddies now, prankster to prankster. You and the four of us, we're practically brothers! So call me by my werewolf form's name, "Rex," Jonathan stated.

"Me as "Skurge," Michael said as he went next right after "Rex."

"You can call me "Razor," Saivon said as he came after "Skurge."

"And I, "Lukaryonyx." Or "Luka", for short," Luke said as he came last after "Razor."

"Wow!" Cutter calmly said in excitement. "Respect!" Cutter calmly said in excitement once more. "Alright! Whose ready to go fishing?" Cutter questioned the four as he stood on all fours and raised his tail.

"Yeah!" All four of them responded with each respective right arm of theirs.

"Let's get as many fish as we can. Woohoo!" He yelled as he launched backwards high into the air and back down as he twirled himself to the left. The werewolves sprouted their dragon wings, turned around, and just like Cutter, they launched backwards high into the sky. Rex came down, followed up with Skurge, Razor, and Luka as they each followed Cutter's exact movement as they started to fish.

Live a life full of laughs

Leyla came down from the ladder in the Dragon's Cave with Dak following behind.

"(Yaaaaawn) Morning, everybody!" Leyla announced.

Everyone groaned, but not in a bad way.

Shiny was sleeping under Twilight's right wing as both of them were under Spike's right wing with his left wing on Ember. Winger, Summer, Burple and Aggro were sleeping around the fire. Discord was sleeping like a snake -- his body coiled up like one that is. Spyro and Cynder were sleeping together like all boyfriends and girlfriends should. Spyro was sleeping on his back with his wings draped around Cynder, as she slept with her right face cheek on his chest.

(Just to let you, the reader, know, Spike and other Dragons of the G4 MLP Universe can change their size. Especially look like their younger selves).

"(Yaaaawn) Morning, Leyla. Morning, Dak. Morning, Twilight. Morning, Spike. Morning, Ember," Shiny said to the five.

"Morning, Shiny," Twilight, Spike, and Ember said back to the lightly teal pteranodon.

"Morning, everybody," she said to everyone else.

"Morning, Shiny," they all replied back. Then, they all got up.

Burple started smelling something fishy. "Hey! (Sniffs twice) I smell fish!" He calmly said with excitement.

Soon, everyone started to walk toward the doorway.

"Smells like Cutter and the wolfpack got fresh fish. (Sniffs twice) Smells like a LOT of fish," Summer surmised.

"Let's go find out," Dak said.

As soon as the doors were open, everyone saw a huge pile of fish as well as a huge pile of apples, coconuts, and pumpkins.

"Wow! Looks like we're going to have a nice, big, breakfast-- Whoa!" Burple yelled as he stepped on something and slipping and sliding.

"Burple!" Dak, Leyla, Winger, Summer, and Aggro yelled till they too started slipping and sliding with others in tow.

After slipping and sliding, they all crashed into each other and landed on their backs, bellies, and their sides, covered in white spots from head to toe.

"Well, so much fer having a nice breakfast," Applejack said with a blunt look as she layed on her belly. Then, her hat slid over on her eyes.

"Wait a minute," Discord, who layed on Applejack's left on his belly as well, said as he looked at the white spot on the front of the top part of her hat. With his lion finger, he wiped the spot off of her hat and licked it with his snake-like tongue. After two lip smacks, he discovered something. "Bananas? My Banana Slip prank? But that's one of my genius pranks! Who would even use my own prank against me, the Lord of Chaos?" Discord wondered.

Then, he along with everyone else heard snickering, and looked to their right or left and saw who were creating those noises.

It was Cutter, Rex, Skurge, Razor, and Luka. And they were pouring tears out of their eyes. But it didn't look like sad tears...

Soon, the five opened their mouths and started... laughing. They were laughing so hard, almost like...

"Wait; you guys did this?" Leyla asked.

"Yes, hahaha! Yeah, w-we- we did!" Luka quickly responded as he went back to laughing on his back.

"Haha! You should see the look on your fa-ace, ahah! Priceless!" Skurge said as he pointed his left paw at them and went back to laughing so hard as he clutched his sides while standing on Luka's right.

"You all look like sheep when they (wheezing): see the butcher! Oh, my God! Haha! And by the Gods, we actually managed to prank the Lord of Chaos! Ah-ah-ah, HA HAHAHAHAHAHA! OH, HOHO!" Razor laughed loudly as the ones who "fell" for it gave them stern or surprised looks of annoyance. Then continued to laugh as he placed his paws on his knees.

"Hahahaha! HAHAHAAAA! You're right, man! We actually did! Ah-ah! (Giggling): The thought of Discord falling into.. into.. into one of his own pra-a-a-anks! Ah, hahaha! HAHAHA!" He laughed as he too placed his paws on his knees just like Saivon. "But in truth; it wasn't us who planned this, but it's still, hahaha, funny! AH, HA, HA, HAAAAA!" Rex said while laughing uncontrollably as he stood between Saivon and Cutter.

"Hahahahaha! Oh my- ha - Oh my gosh that was such a good prank! Thanks for telling me one of Discord's pranks! Hahaha! It was such a good prank, that it deserved to be shared with the rest of Huttsgalor, haha ahahah!" Cutter said as he went to laughing once more.

"It was Cutter's idea? Should have known," Dak said.

"Wait a second, did you say, "rest of Huttsgalor?" Leyla asked.

"Mmhmm! In fact, I think everyone is in for a slippery surprise in 3... 2...1," he said and then raised his left paw at his ear.

Soon after that, he, the Tribal Werewolf Pirates, Rescue Riders, and the others soon heard more screams of townspeople slipping on banana peels and falling to the ground. They heard all of their Huttsgalor friends screaming in surprise, especially...

"DUGGAAAAARD! I'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU!" Magnus shouted.

"Even Magnus and Axel felt for it, haha!" Cutter said in a happy mood.

"Cutter!" The Rescue Riders shouted.

"What? What's wrong with a good laugh once in a while?" Cutter said.

Leyla was about to say something until she heard something else, as well as everyone else. They heard the residents of Huttsgalor, such as Chief Duggard, Hannahr, Elbone and Marena... laughing?

"Hahahaha! Classic Cutter! This may very well be one of his best pranks yet, haha!" Duggard said as he continued to laugh.

"Couldn't... Couldn't agree more chief, haha!" Hannahr said as she continued to laugh as well.

"Haha! That was so funny! Ain't that right, Rocky?" Elbone asked his rock. Rocky stayed silent. Elbone laughed, even Duggard and Hannahr as well as the other residents laughed too.

The Rescue Riders and others were wearing shocked expressions, except for Cutter, Jonathan, Mike, Saivon and Luke. They just popped their rings wings out and high-five-ed each other's right wing.

"Cutter! That's our thing!" Winger said.

Cutter's expression changed from happy to sad knowing he will have to tell the truth.

"I know it's our thing, Wing, but,"- he said until Duggard called out.

"Cutter, I would like to have a word with you," Duggard's voice rang out. It seemed a little hostile, though.

"Oh no, he seems really mad at you, Cutter," Leyla said in worry.

Cutter and the four wolves flew at the top of a fish pile and each got a fish, starting from Cutter to Luka, as they ate their fish breakfast and went down to the town.

Statues in Honor

After eating breakfast, the Rescue Riders and the fusionators went to town in hopes of defending Cutter and the Tribal Werewolf Pirates before being shamed by the Huttsgalorians. When they landed, they saw the Huttsgalorians surrounding the middle of the town. Dak hopped off of Winger's right as Leyla did the same with Summer. Then, they pushed through the crowd and made it to the center where they were behind Chief Duggard.

"Chief, wait!" Dak yelled.
"Don't hurt them!" Leyla pleaded.

"Hurt them?" Duggard said as he looked behind his right shoulder. "No. I'm making sculptures of them," he said as he points his right finger in front of him.

Cutter and the Tribal Werewolf Pirates were standing together, admiring their statues. Cutter's statue has him sanding on all fours as he had his mouth open in the form of a smile. His wings were flared up, and his tail was curved to point towards the sky.

Jonathan's statues has him standing on Cutter's right as he held his left paw on his hip, and his right paw held in front of his chest as he was giving a thumbs up. His smile was a friendly, toothy grin as his fangs shown.

Michael's statue has him holding a square object in his left paw which looked like a Rubik's cube, but without the many mini squares on it. He gave a perky smile on the right side of his snout as he pointed the palm of his right hand towards the cube. His statue stood on Cutter's left.

Saivon's, on Jonathan's right, has himself posed with his left bionic glove giving the "I love you" sign in sign language.

Luke's statue was standing on Mike's left side. His statue has his left knuckles on his chin while he smiled and performed the Thinker Pose.

The Rescue Riders and the Fusionators were shocked. Mostly the Rescue Riders.

"Duggard... made a statue... for Cutter and the Tribal Werewolf Pirates... all for a prank?" Aggro questioned.

"Aggro wants to, well, all of us want to know why you're making statues for Cutter and the others," Leyla said.

"Well, it's because we haven't laughed in so long since trouble always comes to Huttsgalor," he said.

"I can tell you why we're always having trouble," said a familiar voice.

The crowd pushed away from each and the voice revealed itself to Magnus Finke and his nephew, Axel.

"Let me guess, Magnus, you're talking about the Rescue Riders?" Duggard asked.

"Well, of course. I mean, think about it, their mere presence of residing in Huttsgalor brought the likes of pirates like Waldondo Del Mundo, and bad dragons like Melodia the Songwing, who should be known as "the siren of the dragon world." And I won't forget that Dak almost got our island sunk into the sea by going to Hazard Island (despite you and Leyla's warnings to not go there), and angered their soon-to-be Foreverhorn friend, Grumbelgard. They even brought baby Chillblaster dragons who almost ruined Odinyule thanks to their torrents of ice and snow. And now they brought more flappy lizards, talking horses, and bipedal mutts. Who knows what more harm they'll bring to our poor, humble home," Magnus said dramatically.

"Then again, your machines, like your woodcutting machine, your sock machine, and mostly your Mechano-Dragons, DEFINITELY your Mechano-Dragons, bring the most harm close to town. All of those machines you built just to get rid of or upstage the Rescue Riders literally brings harm not just to the buildings and decorations, but to us as well. In fact, out of the damage Huttsgalor suffers from both human and dragon alike, YOU are the most problematic when it comes to YOUR machines, and your hatred for dragons. Why do you even hate dragons? They never did anything to you, except destroy your crazy, rogue inventions to save lives," Duggard said.

"How about trying to earn an honest living? Everytime I bring a machine such as my wood-chopping machine, my wool-shearing machine, my digging machine, and even my sock-knitting machine, you and your dreaded dragons take away every chance I have to make a single coin."

"Wait a minute, you have a digging machine?" Leyla asks.

Magnus gets really close to Leyla.

"Of course, you didn't know I had one. You and your brother were focused on your Dragon with deadly spikes digging a new hole, you never saw me bringing in a drilling that also would dig a hole for the town. And I admit, later on I did make a fake egg, a desguise you actually fell for, but if I had managed to steal your diary, and found extreme weaknesses to each of your dragon, I would finally be able to earn an honest living. Then, I probably would've returned your precious diary, only on a day when you, your brother, and your dragons, were leaving Huttsgalor, never to return. And since Axel, my poor nephew, is living with me, I can't afford any new pieces of metal to create machines in certain roles to help Huttsgalor, which in return would help me earn bits to afford for food," Magnus explained.

Leyla and the other Rescue Riders looked at each other; knowing they didn't think about how Magnus needs bits to afford for food.

"And to answer your question, Duggard, that is why I hate dragons, *points his right finger at the dragons* especially these five miscreants. In fact, one time I was stuck in a cave with those two dragon lovers and their Swiftwing and their Fastfin, and since they couldn't push the boulder, they asked me to help so that Leyla could get the other three," he said.

Then, Hannahr spoke up.

"Wait; you two didn't say anything about asking Magnus for help. And since the horn for the Game of Horns isn't out unless it's actually the Game of Horns, how did we all hear Leyla's voice be amplified when we were under Melodia's spell?"

"I'll tell you how. It's because they asked me for help to help free you all by having a machine that can amplify anyone's voice. And they wouldn't have asked me for help if a certain dragon-loving girl had sing in public. Leyla, however, is afraid to sing in public. Which prolonged the rescue that these so called "Rescue Riders" were supposed to do, considering our chief gave them that title. But it is kinda selfish of Leyla, though. Especially since this dragon lover first cared about freeing the dragons more than freeing the people of Huttsgalor, a town who always believed that they would hurry up and come to the rescue when they need them the most. The only way to get Leyla to finally face her fears was when her water dragon as well as her rock-spitting dragon, her fire dragon, and finally her own twin brother were under Melodia's spell. That is the most selfish thing Leyla has ever done. If she had faced her fears earlier, then it wouldn't have took so long to save you all. And since it is known that most dragons can be a little greedy, it would seem that after being rescued and raised by a mother dragon, the greed of a dragon has rubbed off on them, cause they would always hog the glory," he finished.

"Dak? Leyla? Is what Magnus said true? You asked for his help when we were all under Melodia's spell?" Duggard asked.

"What?! No!" Dak said.
"Well...," Leyla said.

"Dak and Leyla, you made me very upset," he said as he walked past the two and their dragons and the Skylanders.

Everyone in Huttsgalor, including Hannahr and Elbone, were murmuring with each other in agreement to what said and what just happened.

Magnus smiled.

Apologizing to Duggard and Hannahr

Dak and Leyla were walking through the town of Huttsgalore, no one seemed to be in need of a rescue; not even Elbone needed to be rescued, unlike the other times.

Dak and Leyla were heading down to Hannahr's workshop. Luckily, she was there forging metal into various objects like she always do. They were hoping she didn't act like the others.

"Hey Hannahr," Dak said.

"Oh. Hello Dak. Hello Leyla. What can I do for ya?" She asked like she normally would... in her cheerful blacksmith mood.

"You're not mad at us?" Dak asked.
"Nor do do you hate us?" Leyla asked.

After she did, Hannahr stopped forging and turned to her right and at the twins. "Hate you? Why in Valhalla would I ever hate the likes of you? I love you two and your dragons. You're always putting your life on the line for the sake of others, even if it's Magnus or Axel Finke. Although, I do feel a wee bit upset knowing that Magnus helped you when you tried to free all of Huttsgalore from Melodia, Leyla. But I'm more angry knowing that Magnus snuck into your house and tried to steal your dragon diary. Didn't you once say that book was the only thing left you have of your mother?"

"Yes. It means so much to me. Luckily, Cutter was there when he was having a midnight snack and found Magnus taking my book," Leyla said.

"You know, now that I think about it, maybe Cutter had the right idea to trap Magnus in his egg desguise at the time," Dak said.

"Maybe"? I think he DID have the right idea. Though, it seems that you couldn't believe Cutter did that that one time. I know he can be a joker, or a prankster, but hey, at least he stopped Magnus. Still can't believe he would stoop so low as to steal something that was precious to you. I understand Cutter would also turn the situation into a joke, although you told me before that's how you lot met Mama Ironclaw, he did the right thing nonetheless. Maybe Chief Duggard had made the best decision to make a sculptured statue in honor of him," Hannahr said.

"Of course, it was the best decision I ever made."

"Chief Duggard!" Leyla said happily as she and Dak ran up and hugged him. Leyla hugged him on his left shoulder while her brother hugged him on his right shoulder. "Wait, I thought you--"

"What? Hate you? Never! But just like Hannahr, you could've at least mentioned that Magnus helped you with a machine to overcome your fears to stop Melodia by singing with your much more angelic voice," he said.

"How did--"

"I've been following you ever since you walked into town today. I was hoping to ask for your forgiveness for how I acted yesterday after what Magnus said. But, as Chief of Huttsgalor, I thought it would be nice if our town's blacksmith were to apologize first."

"Oh, I completely forgot about that. I was just so caught up talking about Cutter, I forgotten to do so," she said.

"Well we forgive you two," Leyla said.

"Thanks, lass. But what drove me to forgive you as to asking you to forgive me, was when I remembered that Magnus did some things, like, almost getting rid of you, nearly destroying our town time and time again. And-- Actually that covers just about it. Heck, I would love to ask the other members of my clan. So, where are young Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro?"

"They're back at The Roost. After eating breakfast, they decided to stay inside as to not cause trouble anymore. Their words, not mine," Dak explained.

"The Skylanders wanted to stay with them to try and cheer them up. They really feel bad for them," Leyla added.

"Well, as chief of Huttsgalor, I say we should remind them of the achievements they earned from saving Huttsgalor and its people," he declared.

"I second that, Chief," Hannahr said.

"I agree, too!" Elbone shouted.

"Elbone?" Dak and Leyla questioned.

Elbone, however, wasn't the only one there. For there was Finngard and Ms.Borgenson(his mom), and others.

"Without you, we can never really understand what the dragons are saying, or what we're doing to them is wrong, but you two, along with Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple, and Aggro, we always know we'll be safe," he said.

"Like that time when Aggro came to save me from being scorched by one of the many geysers from Boiling Springs Valley," Finngard said.

"Or the times when you and the dragons come to save me every other week," Elbone added.

"Then, it's settled. Today, we will celebrate a new kind of festival once every month in honor of the dragons. Now, let's get preparations in order," Chief Duggard said to all other vikings.

After going to Magnus Finke's house and apologizing to him, Dak and Leyla head back to town to preparations ready with Magnus and Axel in tow.

Axel stood on his uncle's left.

"Uncle, why are we agreeing to help the Rescue Riders?" Axel asked while whispering so only his uncle could hear.

"Because, Nephew, if their dragons, along with their new mystical buddies, mess this festival up, then the both of us shall have the last laugh as we were right about dragons not coexisting with humans," he eluded his nephew.

"So, how are we gonna ruin this festival?" Axel asked.

"Like I said, we'll let their dragons and mystical friends ruin the party themselves, rather than finding us as the culprits," he replied.

"So, if they themselves ruin their own party that all of Huttsgalor has worked to make a festival in honor of them, Chief Duggard will have no choice but to banish them, right?"

"Exactly," Magnus said with an evil grin.

Masterminded Meetings

Magnus and Axel heard and saw a black and purple portal appearing right in front of them. They gotten spooked when a giant purple dragon with yellow horns came walking through and standing in front of the two shivering vikings. He starts to growl and then composed himself by coughing into his right paw. With his paw now in on the center of his chest...

"Hello. My name is Malefor; the Dark Master," he introduced himself. "It's a pleasure to finally meet the two of you, Magnus and Axel Finke," Malefor said politely.

"A talking dragon!? Wait. How are you even talking? No human has ever heard a dragon talk before; especially those flapping do-gooders," he said as he crossed his arms and looked away from the Dark Master. Then, looking back at the dragon, "How do you even know me and my nephew's names?" Magnus asked.

"You must mean Discord; Lord of Chaos and former Element of Disharmony. I hold power like his and even my future emperor Kaos with a "K". And speaking of names, I can use my Dragon Magic to look into look into your mind for the most important memories, like it was some sort of... "game."

Magnus and Axel started to cringe in fear.

"And one of the most important memories of yours that I find intriguing are of these so-called... "Rescue Riders."

"Why do you find them intriguing?" Magnus asked.

"I was meaning the dragons only, but you have history with them -- and not very GOOD history. And I'm particularly fascinated in these different species of dragons and would like to know more about them," he said.

"Oh, you better believe we have history. When those Rescue Runts first appeared, the people were terrified until their human friends defended them; told all of Huttsgalor that most dragons, including their's, were friendly. I tried to warn them about the dangers of having dragons in our town. But nooo, they choose to not listen to a grumpy entrepreneur and welcome them with open arms. And when I try to earn a coin or two, they use their draconic abilities to help the town for free, rendering me coin-less," he told his history with the Rescue Riders.

"I already told you that I can use my magic to look through you and your nephew's memories. But what I want to know is, how much do you hate them, Magnus?"

"With every fiber of my being," he answered.

"Then let's make a deal. If you and your nephew become loyal to Kaos, then I will convince him to let you rule this world under his leadership. As a bonus, we'll help you get rid of your... "dragon" problem and make you rich and powerful beyond your wildest dreams," he offered.

Magnus starts to smile evilly. "Deal."

"Then, as a bonus, I promise all who live here will be spared and be able to go back to their natural way of life with no presence of the Rescue Riders, whatsoever," he promised. "But there's also the fact that you need an army to deal with those petty Skylanders."

30 minutes ago...

"Based on Magnus's record of making machines, we'll need Decepticons to make the villagers think they're actually robots he has made himself, including Master Eon's do-gooders," Malefor suggested. "Any volunteers?" He asked.

"I would love to go to this world and lead my Decepticons to battle," Steeljaw volunteered himself.

"Pfft," Thunderhoof scoffed, "the last time you led us, Bumblebee and his team wiped the floor and then you went ballistic and nearly had us all trapped in debris," Thunderhoof pointed out.

"Why I oughta-" he calmly says with rage building up.

"You'll what? I lead secret criminal operations before being put to sleep in those on those stasis pods on the Alchemor. You, however, never led a team until you had found us. You can't beat no bot when your alone," he finished.

Raging with fury, Steeljaw leapt into the air to pounce on Thunderhoof like he did before. But, rather than getting the jump on him, Steeljaw was forcefully headbutted by Thunderhoof's antlers. Steeljaw landed on his back a few feet. He rears his head.

"Last time, I wasn't aware. Now, I AM AWARE. MY defense beats YOUR offense. Meaning, I should lead the Decepticons," he said.

"Very well. Choose your bots; we're heading out now while I get acquainted with our supposed new allies," Malefor instructed as he went through a portal.

Steeljaw growled but remained still.

(Present Time...)

"So these machines are actually living, intelligent creatures from the stars?" Magnus asked as he looks upon the Decepticons.

"Hehehe," Malefor chuckled. "Indeed," Malefor answered.

Festival of Dragons

The five DRAGON members of the Rescue Riders were surrounding the fire in the shape of a circle as they cast their gaze upon the fire. Winger and Summer, being the tallest of the five, were laying in the back with the Skylanders behind the two. Burple sat alone on Winger's right while Aggro sat on Summer's left with Cutter on her left. The Skylanders were worried for them. Then, all of them heard the doors to the caves opening with Dak and Leyla coming in with smiles plastered on their faces.

The dragons woke up and looks at the duo as Cutter acknowledges the two vikings on his left first. "Looks like you guys are happy. Why exactly?" He asked.

"It's time for another festival approved by Chief Duggard himself!" Dak yelled happily.

Summer raises her right eyebrow in confusion. "Another festival? But it's not close to any festival," she surmised.

"If it's another Festival of Festivals, I would sooooo like to challenge Magnus and Axel again after what they did last time by gluing us onto the ground," Aggro said. "Oh! That act of cowardice and sabotage makes me so.... so.... MAD!" She said as she starts glowing with scales and horns glowing bright red and yellow, a little bit of heat rising from her body.

"I know you want to get back at them, Aggro. Believe me, I want nothing more than to show Magnus and Axel to never cross a dragon or five. But if we did do something so heinous, we will be be no better than Magnus. Our friends and the rest of Huttsgalor will probably no longer trust us and start to fear either us or other dragons that don't cause any threat or harm to humans," Winger explained which caused Aggro to calm down a little.

"(sighs) I guess you're right," she said as her burning glow retreats back into her skin.

"Actually, that won't be a problem for this festival," Leyla said.

"Why is that, Leyla?" Burple asked.

"Why don't the five of you along with everyone else come and find out for yourselves?" Leyla told Burple.

The dragons around the campfire straightened their necks up. Winger and Burple stared at each other while Summer looks at Aggro and Cutter. Then, Burple shared glances with Cutter and Aggro while Winger and Summer shared a glance, too.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to check this new festival out," Summer told Winger while the others paid attention to the green water dragon.

"Great. Then let's put these colorful blindfolds on you," Leyla said as she picked five colors from her bag and showed them to the five.

Blue for Winger, green for Summer, yellow for Cutter, purple for Burple, and red for Aggro.

The five dragons kept their gaze on the two. "Blindfolds?" They all said.

....

The five dragons were lead out of the cave.

Dak held his left hand on Winger's left shoulder while Leyla does with her left hand on Summer's right shoulder. Aggro was behind Summer as she gently held her tail inside her mouth. Burple held onto Winger's and Cutter holds onto Burple's. The two twins stopped walking. Next, Dak brought Burple and Cutter with his hands on the top of their noses -- to make sure to follow him as he brings them beside Winger on his right with Cutter on Burple's right. Then, Leyla brought Aggro upon Summer's left by gently pulling her right curved horn. Finally, once they were all standing in place, Dak removed the blindfolds off of Winger, then Cutter, and finally Burple. Leyla removed the blindfolds off of Summer and Aggro at the same time.

The twins walked backwards to a few stands behind them as Leyla starts to speak. "Alright, everyone, you can open your eyes now," she said.

Winger, Summer, Cutter, Aggro and Burple simultaneously opened their eyes, and then opened them more wider with their mouths open in shock as they all start to gasp. All over Huttsgalor, buildings and booths were covered head-to-toe with flags of each Dragon Class. There were tons of barrels filled to the brim with all kinds of fish, including Yellow Pike; Cutter's favorite if you forgotten or didn't know until now.
There were even helmets with dragon horns and fake wings for both men, women, and children.

"Those costumes, they're designed to look like the five of us," Summer said.

The dragons then saw Finngard dressed as Aggro pretending to fire at some kids who were dressed as wolves while protecting some kids who were dressed as a herd of sheep.

"Rawrrrr! I am Aggro, and these sheep are under my protection. So go find food somewhere else. Rawrrrr!" Finngard roared at the wolves.

"Aww, now that is just too adorable to not look," Aggro said. "Not to mention that it's making me blush even when I'm already red," she added with a giggle at the end.

"But what is the festival all about?" Summer asked as the Skylanders walk behind the five.

"Hey, Chief Duggard, Summer wants to know what this festival is about," she told him.

"Well, glad you ask, my scaly friend. Today is Dragon Appreciation Day, or DAD, for short. And on Dragon Appreciation Day, we have decided to hold the Festival of Dragons where we can honor all of the good dragons out there AND more importantly, the Rescue Riders. Including you five dragons," he explained.

Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro widened their eyes.

"Honestly, I know I said this before, BUT, when we first met, I still wanted to keep my distance. But after meeting the four of you and then Aggro, you have done nothing but risked your lives for us, rescuing us from either Magnus's inventions, mean dragons, pirates, and even wild animals such as wolves. No offense to you four werewolves," Duggard said.

"None taken," the four wolves said.

"But back to you five, we thank you for your bravery, your friendship, and most of all, your loyalty to the village. And I may be a viking, and you may be dragons, and even if I'm not your biological father, I am proud to call you my sons and daughters," he finished.

The dragons were shocked, but then smiled as they ran up to Duggard and gave him a group hug. Cutter stood behind him and placed his head on top of his. Winger placed his head on Duggard's right shoulder while Summer laid hers on his left one. Burple walked up beside on Duggard's right and Aggro stood on his left. They closed their eyes and gave a big friendly growl.

"Ohhh. How can dragons be dangerous if their so cute and friendly. Well, the good ones at least," he said as then pulled Burple and Aggro's heads closer to his.

All the other vikings awwed at how cute they were with Duggard. The dragons then pulled back. All five dragons looked at each other like they were chatting about something. This made Dak and Leyla gleam with excitement.

Duggard took notice. "What are they saying?"

"They're saying they want to be able to talk with everyone here and be easy to understand without animal noises," Leyla answered.

The Vikings were now chatting with each other in wonder and amazement.

"Oh, finally! I've been dying to know what they sound like," Duggard said.

"And I've been waiting to do this again ever since we got here," Discord said as he pulled out his eagle claw out.

And then... SNAP!!!

After the white flash was gone, the Huttsgalorians didn't see any changes.

The Right to Speak and the Battle Ahead

After the bright, white light flashed, everything was silent and all eyes on the dragons. They opened their mouths to speak, but only for Magnus to interrupt them.

"I think this is bogus! The world was better when no one can speak dragon. But why should they speak? What if they have said things opposite to what Dak and Leyla told us? This would make those two dragon lovers total liars," he said as it caused the dragons to start growling.

"We aren't liars!" Dak replied.
"We care for this town!" Leyla added.

"Oh, really? All the times those flying rapscallions roared and we asked what they say, you changed it up so that you can keep them here," Magnus said which caused Aggro to heat up in anger and Cutter to dig his claws from his front paws into the dirt.

"In fact, maybe you and these Skylanders should just take flight and never come back," Magnus said.

Aggro couldn't take it anymore and burned even brighter. "That's it!" She muttered and was about to run over to Magnus until Summer pulled her wing out in front of Aggro. She shakes her head at her burning friend.

"Grrrrr, I swear Magnus, you better put a cork in what you call a mouth," Jonathan threatened the viking. As way of defending his Rescue Rider buddies.

"And do what? Kill me? Prove you're a monster that shouldn't be trusted?" Magnus retaliated.

"You know, calling me a monster in that tone is pissing me off even more," Jonathan replied. "But, even if you piss me off, I'm still one of the good monsters. So that means, go ahead and talk your butt off. I'm heading back for a morning nap," Jonathan said as he turned to his right and walked towards the entrance to the den.

"That's right, run along. Run along like a good Mama's boy. But then again, she must've been weak to spawn a tougher puppy," Magnus said.

This got the crowd to gasp.

Jonathan stopped when he said that.

"Oh, no," Spike said.

"Whichever man talks about my mom like that... IS A DEAD MAN!" Jonathan snarled and lunged at Magnus, who then cowered in fear.

Spike grabbed Jonathan's left arm while Garble grabbed his right.

"Let me at him! LET ME AT HIM!" - Jonathan
"Dude, calm down!" - Garble
"He's not worth it!" - Spike
"Come on, man, you're better than this - you're better than him!" - Saivon

Twilight got in front of him and pressed her forehooves on his chest.

"Let it go, Rexy Poo! Please?!" - Twilight Sparkle

After hearing her voice, he stopped and calms down.

"You're lucky Twilight's here. Otherwise, your head with what you call a mouth will be planted on a pike," Jonathan snarled as he stepped back.

After what they heard, Aggro gotten more brighter as her friends shared the same feeling as their heads turned red with their ears smoking.

"Now?" Aggro asked.

"Now," Summer replied.

"Finally," Aggro whispered before she started to walk behind Magnus.

However, her feet didn't go unnoticed as Magnus heard her.

He turns around. "Oh please! I suggest you go back to your friends and let the adults speak," he said as turned around.

After what she heard, Magnus called her "little" when he said that. She glows brighter and hotter because she hates being called little.

She was about to speak, but she along with everyone else heard a blasting sound in the form of a purple fireball, as it flies through the air...

...and hits straight into the chest of the mighty Smaug.

"Grandpa!" Garble and Spike shouted as Smaug landed on his back.

The two brothers raced over to him, Garble on Smaug's right while Spike was on his left. Smaug woke up a little. "Don't worry. I'm alright. But if you excuse me, I'm just gonna take a nap," he said before he dozed off.

The two look back as hundreds more were fired in their direction as each Skylander and dragon were blown away from the lighthouse and near Smaug's feet.

The villagers we're scared after what they just witnessed.

"Where did those fireballs come from?" Smolder asked.

Spyro landed with Cynder on his right, over to their fallen comrades, unscathed.

"Wait a minute, how come you two weren't blasted by those fireballs?" Discord asked as he was nothing more than a gray puddle.

Spyro and Cynder looked behind them and saw a circular purple portal with purple lightning emanating from it.

" Because I didn't want them to," a dark voice boomed.

Spyro and Cynder perked up.

"That voice. It can't be," Spyro said.

Cynder stood silent as she knew that voice all too well from her past.

A shadow formed inside the portal as it grew bigger. Next, it pulled out it's left three-toed, purple paw of it. Then, the Shadow stepped out of the portal and revealed itself to be....

"We meet again, young dragons," the big adult purple dragon said.

It was Malefor.

Not the Skylander one...

...theirs.

To be continued...

Author's Note

Hey guys, I'm back. But with the fact that I barely get any love from most who read this or ANY of my stories, I've started working on Wattpad as "RexTExtremeWerewolf2."

I don't know if I will make anymore stories on Fimfiction, because I have so many stories locked away and haven't really worked on them a lot.

But I am rewriting it all on Wattpad. I can't help if I go super detailed on my stories; that's just who I am. Another thing, I'll probably bring my stories that haven't worked on into Wattpad.

But that doesn't mean I'm quitting Fimfiction, because that would mean all my hard work would be gone, including the Incredible Sci-Hulk of Canterlot High and The Incredible Spark. Even my Skylanders are making it to the new site, where I can easily put images and videos within the story. I'm also currently working on a few major stories that are getting lots of love, such as Loona and Octavia, Curse of the Werepuppy, Skylanders in Azeroth, and more. I want to thank all of you respected my handiwork, and I might actually bring some my Fimfiction stories to light.

But if I'm to make stories on Fimfiction once more, I must ask that you WAIT to like or dislike cos I may post one chapter but still work on more.

For those who are in love with my Skylander Battles hosted by both Wiz and Boomstick, more will come and might even transfer to Wattpad.

Shiny's training: The Arts Of The Sentinel and the Ways of the Tribal Werewolf

Shiny was in the battle arena training to see if she has what it takes to be a Skylander; a Fusionator nonetheless. She was carrying a golden bo staff in her right hand as she was being trained in The Arts Of The Sentinel by Luke Reese, the fourth member of the Tribal Werewolf Pirates.

Before we continue the story, let me inform you on what a Sentinel is.

A Sentinel is a Skylander that uses a bo staff, a spear, a javelin, or even a trident to poke enemies in front of them or whack enemies from all around. Sentinels can poke, swing, charge, or even hypnotize enemies.

But for Shiny, she will be a Skylander of the Sentinel, Primal Warrior, Shapeshifter, and Healer Battle Classes. But while in her Weredragon form, Were-Shiny, will be a Dragon, Brawler, and a Primal Warrior as well.

Primal Warriors are Skylanders who use their prehistoric nature to battle enemies. Take Rexy from Jurassic Park for example, she's a Primal Warrior who eats enemies to regain health. And if they're not related to a Dragon, some Skylanders can use their gadgets or wings to fly.

Dragons are Skylanders that are, well, Dragons, who can use any sort of breath based on their element. Of course, Dragons are known to breathe fire, but they can also shoot lightning, water, ice, or even the Earth itself. And you guys already know they can fly. No big surprise there.

Shapeshifters are Skylanders who have the power to turn into any other creature or an object for disguise.

Brawlers are known for boxing, karate, kung-fu, or basically using claws to scratch enemies. They can punch, kick, or even headbutt.

Healers can use food, magic, or even some gadgets to heal allies.

Now back to the story.

Shiny and Luke were practicing a lot for he has a bo staff, too. But not only that, they shapeshifted into their Werewolf and Weredragon forms, Lukaryonyx and Were-Shiny.

They exchanged punches, kicks, scratches, you name it. Even some tail whips. And Shiny came out on top by tripping the back of Luke's werewolf legs.

Then, they were sitting on a bench. For they were eating vanilla flavored ice cream to celebrate Shiny's win.

Author's Note

Sorry if the first chapter of the story was short due to the biology of the Battle Classes.

Cynder & Shiny

Cynder was walking through town at the Skylands Market for accessories and furniture. It was about to be Christmas time, too. She was carrying a red purse with silver buttons with the strap on the back of her neck, and the bag itself hovering in front of her chest. During their time in the world of Skylands, each Hero was given a lot of coins, gold, jewels, and cards that say, "1,000,000 credits." And those exact credits can restart at the number they were given. Like, say, you spend 1,000 credits, instantly goes back to 1 million overtime.

She was shopping through various shops.
She recently stopped by the Skylands Meat Shop, where you, the reader, can probably tell that the Meat Shop housed all sorts of protein. Cynder was eating a chicken drumstick. Due to her draconic body, and her Venom Elemental Breath, as well as her saliva, she can be able to eat the gristles off of them. She can even crack bones and eat the marrow inside them like a tasmanian devil. She was about to eat her final drumstick until she smelled the scent of an ancient reptile. She looks behind her and sees no one, until she sees the back of the head of a light blue Pteranodon.

"I can see the back of your pointy head, Shiny. But you don't have anything to fear. So can you please come out of the bush?" Cynder said gently.

Shiny took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She reveals her entire head, and sees Cynder giving her a gentle smile. She walks over to the violet dragoness. "Um, excuse me, Cynder, but is it okay if I help you with your shopping?" She asked politely.

Due to her lady-like persona, Cynder could tell that she really wanted to help. But, she could also tell that's not the only reason. "Sure. But, despite how you were hiding behind a bush, and the fact that you are politely asking to help me with shopping, I can tell that's not the only reason. So, tell me the truth -- why were you following me? Because I was pretty much starting to get furniture for the Undead Dorm for my fellow Undead Skylanders,... by myself?" Cynder asked.

"Because I know you're not really here just to shop for furniture. You're just here to keep a secret from everyone and that you were about to eat Sparx," Shiny pointed out with her right finger.

Cynder backed her head up a little and looked left and right.

"Please, Cynder, just tell me what's been bothering you," she asked sincerely.

Cynder sighed in defeat. "If you want to know, I'll tell you. Come here," she said as she told Shiny to lend her right ear to her. Cynder started to whisper.

Unkown to them, Ember was flying above them. Then, she flew back to the Academy.

...

"Are you sure?" Master Eon asked.

"Yes. And maybe once Shiny comes through to Cynder, then they will be ready to join in our mission," Ember points out.

"Yes. But, we can't wait for much longer. Huttsgalor will soon be torn to shreds. Dragons, you must go now and protect the Island of Huttsgalor," Eon said with a wave of his left hand to create a blue portal. "Skylanders! Go!" He yelled out as he points to the portal with the same hand.

Spike, Ember, Spyro, Garble, Jonathan, Discord, and the other dragon members of the Extreme Squad went first.

"This LITERALLY sucks," Jonathan said as he, followed by Michael, Saivon, and Luke, ran through the portal.

...

The Rescue Rider dragons were pinned to the ground as Lurke, Vizza, and Snoop were about to strike the final blow on Huttsgalor's greatest defense.

But then, a blue portal appeared and out from it a giant band of dragons came flying to the island with determination placed on their faces. The Rescue Rider Dragons, along with Dak and Leyla, and all the viking residents smiled as helped mysteriously arrived. All except for one.

"Ooohhh, great. More dragons," Magnus Fink said sarcastically.

Magnus was Huttsgalor's very own inventor who makes brilliant inventions --but most of them are not all brilliant when they cause harm to the village. True fact: He despises the Rescue Riders with every inch of his being.

"As if we didn't have enough to worry about as it is," he finished.

As the dragons landed, they all gave menacing glares while baring their fangs.

Lurke, Vizza, and Snoop looked at them with wide eyes. Then, they turned tail and left the village and went back to their side of the island.

The dragons saw a tiny viking with a big beard, and a blue shirt, along with a viking helmet, walking towards them with a big, happy smile.

"Ah, so I'm guessing you're the Skylanders that my old friend Eon sent to help with our Slinkwing problem, right?" he asked.

"Indeed we are. And you must be Chief Duggard," Spike replied back.

Duggard arched his back, slumped his arms to his chest, and opens his mouth in shock. Dak and Leyla gasped along with every other viking, including Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro.

"What? Was it something I said?" Spike asked.

Duggard shook his head a little to get out of his current shock. "Well, of course it's something you said. You can talk!" He pointed out with his arms pointing at Spike with both his index fingers.

Spike widens his eyes as he remembers the logic of this world. "Oh, yeah! I completely forgotten about that! Master Eon told us that the dragons of your world can't talk. But hey, we can help tell you what the dragons are saying if you want," Spike suggested.

Then, Duggard looked to see a thin dragon with different body parts walking up on Spike's left.

"Actually Spike, let me handle this. While we are here in your world, you won't have to hear roars after a snap of my fingers," Discord said as he raised his eagle talon.

Spike glares at Discord. "Discooord. I don't think you should use your chaos magic to bend the rules of this world," he said. "Eon told you no, too," he reminded him.

"Oh, please, Spike! Do you really think that while we live in this world, you would tell these "Huttsgalorians" what these five dragons are saying for the remainder of our time here?" Discord asked as he kept hisclaws up.

Spike raised his left finger claw over to his right to point out the rules of this world with an opened mouth. But, then he realised that he was right. "You know what? You're right, Discord. It would be kind of tiring. Sooo, go for it," Spike replied back as he allowed Discord to carry on with his plan.

Discord closed his eyes, perked his mouth up to the right side, and snapped his eagle claws.

Author's Note

P.S., New season coming to Netflix on February 7th, 2020.

P.P.S., Sorry that you reached the end of the chapter. But fret not! I will be working on some more later on in the year. Feel free to look back on my other Skylander stories while waiting. Oh, I almost forgot. I'm sorry you didn't get to find out what Shiny's catchphrase was in the last story. But it will soon be shown later on in the story. Same with Twilight Sparkle.

New Skylanders for Hire Part 2

After Vanoss and his friends were fully hired, more creatures or beings of supernatural power have been coming.

Two were Matt Anderson, aka Nemesis; the Bio Organic Weapon, and the Flying Dutchman, along with Sandy Cheeks, Pearl, Karen, and Larry the Lobster.

There was even more, such as Thel'Vadamee, or The Arbiter. Tepeu, Toci, and Teotl. Sam Manson, Tucker Foley, and Danny Phantom. Timmy Turner, Jimmy Nuetron, Sheen Estavez, and Carl Wheezer.

More kept coming and coming, like, Mordecai and Rigby, Steven Magnet, and a whole bunch of new Skylanders that were recruited to join Master Eon for the fate of all their worlds.

All were given weapons and supernatural powers to stop the evil forces of doom and Kaos.

Malefor's Plan

After apologizing to Magnus and Axel, Dak and Leyla start preparing for the festival. They were all setting it up without any help from the Skylanders as to surprise them. Even Magnus and Axel help... surprisingly. Then, they walk off to the left to talk in private.

"So... any ideas, Uncle?" Axel asked, rubbing his hands together.

"I could make a much more better Mechano-Dragon, but those Rescue Runts would always get praised while I get shunned yet again as another one of my brilliant inventions gets crushed or blasted, resulting another failure for Magnus Finke," he said.

"And Axel Finke, too, right?" Axel questions his uncle.

"Obviously, I was talking about me alone, but... sure. Why not? After all, both of us still have to get rid of those flying pests and horrific abomination-like friends of theirs. (Slowly) Now, time to come up with a plan. Think, Axel, think," Magnus said while pointing his right finger into the sky.
They stood there, waiting for a plan to come fortuitously into their brains.

Unknown to them -- they were being watched by a dark presence.

Back in the darkest parts of Skylands...

Malefor, the evil purple dragon from Avalar, watches through a magical purple constructed window.

"So... after that long wait of not telling me your plan and waiting for it to come off your tongue, THIS, is your plan?" Kaos questioned the Dark Master as he, too, watches the magical window that shows the two vikings.

"Indeed, Lord Kaos, indeed. There is still a chance that one half of my plan will leave them distrustful for one another," Malefor said.

"One half? What's the other half?" Kaos asked.

"Since those three failed their mission to kidnap and turn hundreds of prehistoric dinosaurs into more loyal soldiers for your army of darkness, I have concluded that there will be some battles we will lose... and some where we win," he told Kaos.

"And how exactly are we going to, oh... I don't know... "win?" Kaos asked.

"By turning them against each other, of course. But first, we'll help these two get rid of their... "dragon problem."
