Upon arriving in the Peace Keepers homeworld, Spyro and Twilight immediately freed the first dragon. A bright beige warrior dragon with a mohawk wielding a battle axe named Titan.

"Welcome to Peace Keepers," he said. "Look how our treasure has been stolen and turned against us! Please... recover our treasure, you two."

"Collect treasure, got it!" Spyro nodded as Titan disappeared.

Well, they eventually collected all of the gems and managed to defeat one of the stupidest egg thieves around. This thief was standing in an area that was close to one of the crystallized dragons. Spyro flamed him and got the egg he stole before freeing the dragon. The dragon was a dark green weathered soldier named Gunnar.

"Well done! Keep up the good work and I know you and your friend will fulfill your destinies!" he beamed.

"Destiny?" Spyro asked in confusion. "I just want to kick some..."

"Just get rid of those enemies and collect the treasure! And don't forget to free the other dragons and collect the dragon eggs, as well."

And with that, Gunnar flew off as he vanished. After freeing him, they eventually freed the last dragon. He was a rotund reddish orange-colored dragon that resembled a sumo wrestler. His name was Magnus.

"Hey there, you two!" he said enthusiastically. "Looks like both Sparx the Dragonfly and your fairy friend, Ellie, are doing a good job of protecting and guiding you! Spyro, make sure to keep Sparx strong by feeding him lots of butterflies!"

He then showed off his strong stomach before flying off, which disgusted Twilight.

"Does he always do that?" she asked Ellie.

"Unfortunately, yes," Ellie replied.

"Ugh! Let's just find a portal and free the dragons from there."

"Don't forget about collecting the gems. In order to move on, Gosnold over there wants us to collect at least 1,200 of them. And we have 900 so far."

"Well, we're not leaving this place until we get everything done! One of my friends could be in one of these realms."

"Fair enough. Let's go!"

They then went into the portal leading to Dry Canyon. Once they arrived, they defeated a few enemies and collected their treasure. They also retrieved a dragon egg from the egg thief. After doing that, they freed the first dragon. He was a yellow dragon with the appearance of a Spanish knight named Conan.

Realizing he was face the other direction, Conan turned around.

"Thank you for releasing me, you two," he said.

Conan then flew away as Spyro and Twilight continued collecting more gems. Once they collected a few gems near the exit, they went back to free a dragon. This dragon was a large-built yellow dragon with a dark orange underbelly. One of his horns was broken and he had black wings with orange membranes. He also had brown scales on his arms, hands, and back, and a rattlesnake-like tail with a small band. He was wearing a necklace with a bell and two bracelets on his wrist. He was also holding a rope in his left claw. The dragon's name was Boris.

"Dry Canyon rewards good gliders," he said. "You ARE good gliders, aren't you?"

"I was... born to glide!" Spyro said enthusiastically.

"Watch your mouth, Spyro, or you'll end up falling in the abyss," Twilight warned.

"Hmph!" Boris scoffed.

Boris wasn't kidding, though. There were some nasty-looking glides in Dry Canyon. One glide was actually performed just by luck. It was a good thing that Twilight had Ellie to help her make it, despite being a superpowered human. Even so, Ellie was struggling to get Twilight up on to the ledge, due to her being heavier than Spyro.

"Wow! You're heavy!" Ellie panted.

"You want a fist in the mouth?" she threatened.

"Uh-uh."

"Then watch it with the weight jokes!"

Aside from that little fiasco, both Twilight and Spyro freed another dragon. A very heavy-built yellow dragon with dark-colored spots and small wings. He wore a leather and fur-studded chest harness with a stone buckle. He was carrying a stone club as his weapon with a frying pan and two-pronged fork at his harness. The dragon's name was Maximos.

"Incredible glide, you two!" he congratulated. "I thought I'd be stuck here forever with those ugly vultures standing on my head. Those birds might look tough, but they're pretty tasty! Flame broiled, with a pinch of salt..."

Twilight and Ellie both stuck their tongues out in disgust. How a dragon manages to eat like this was beyond them. Plus, it was pretty disgusting to think about.

"That's gross!" Twilight cringed.

"You're telling me," Ellie added.

Despite that, they managed to go to the path containing the final dragon and collect more gems from enemies along the way. The even freed the last dragon in Dry Canyon. He was a light gray-brown elderly bottom-heavy dragon wearing aviator gear. The dragon's name was Ivor.

"Is that you Spyro?" Ivor asked. "Are you the young dragon I've been hearing so much about? And is that your new friend with you? I've got to say, she's really been helping you out big time. As for you, ever since you were a wee puff of smoke we've known-eh..."

"You've known..." Spyro asked in confusion.

"Ah. I forget. But your friend really needs to stick around. Trust me, she's going to be important in an upcoming battle that you can't interfere with. And one of her friends will be doing the same thing a lot later. So, make sure that nothing bad happens to her, all right?"

And with that, Ivor vanished and all of the dragons in Dry Canyon were rescued. That was a total of 23 dragons rescued so far. The group then managed to get the rest of the gems in the area for a total of 400 gems in Dry Canyon. That was it. Dry Canyon was done. The group then headed back to the portal and warped back to the Peacekeepers homeworld.

Despite the fact that they managed to rescue a few dragons and collect some gems and dragon eggs, Twilight still had no idea where her friends were. Where in these realms were they? Well, she was about to find out real soon.

Author's Note

Sorry for this chapter taking so long. A number of factors prevented it from being released earlier. The main reasons are that I was sick and I had a bit of writer's block. But it's out, now. And I thank all of you for being patient.

Also, the moment where Twilight threatens Ellie is a reference to the first live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie from 1990.
