A pile of rubble sat smoldering a couple of clicks away from Duule. The city was still celebrating, only the neighboring fortresses knew what happened. Suddenly, a few rocks started to roll away, and a black arm, covered by gold and silver armor, reached out of a pile of large boulders. The arm snapped its claws, and the boulders broke into millions of small rocks. Michael got up, shaking off the pebbles, he looked around to see a handful of soldiers looking for more survivors. He slowly walked towards the top of the pile, where the moonlight poked through the cloud of dust and smoke. He used his light magic to send a beam to the closest fortress, it started hovering towards him.

Six months later

Spyro walked through the main path of the village, enjoying the beauty of the nature around him. His wing and ribs had healed, and he was back to normal. Spyro nodded at a villager as he passed, walking back towards the cave he was staying in. He arrived at the mouth of the cave and entered.

"Hey" Cynder said, looking up from the wood carving she was working on.

"Hi" Spyro answered, and kissed her

"What's going on in the villager?" she asked

"Not much, somebody was born last night though" Spyro told her

"Aw, boy or girl?"

"Girl, the parents are happy, they wanted a daughter" he answered

"Good for them" Cynder smiled, and returned to her work

Spyro sat down and relaxed for a moment.

"I can't help it; I just have to know what Michael is up to. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the last six months here, but I'm worried about everybody." He spoke

"I am too, but I know Michael can handle it. I think he left us here on purpose, for both of us. You have been putting too much stress on yourself after you defeated Malefor, and Michael noticed that. He will come get us when he feels you have relaxed." Cynder told him

"You think he can get us, I tried to open a portal, but it didn't work." Spyro looked at the wood carving Cynder was working on

"He got us here, he can bring us back." she replied

Spyro laid his head down on the stone floor and enjoyed the company of his mate for a while.

Michael watched as six massive, spider-looking creatures made of stone walk past him. The broodmothers were a magical species that Michael discovered on an ancient planet long ago. They had the ability to change their size at will, and were able to take a lot of hits before falling. Michael saved them from extinction and now they have spread throughout the ML. A city appeared on the horizon, sparkling lights with a massive tower in the middle. The army prepared for a siege, and kept moving. Mobile element cannons started firing on the city's shields, the impacts of each shot sending a shudder through the buildings below. By the time the soldiers reached the gate, the shields were failing. Michael blasted the door with pure magic, blowing it out of its frame, and charged into the city.

Spyro woke up when someone nudged him. He opened his eyes to see that it was Cynder.

"Wake up, sleepyhead" she said

Spyro rolled over and got up, stretching.

"What's up?" he asked, yawning

"You have been sleeping all day" she answered "I know you were up late last night, but I want to do something"

"Alright, let's go" Spyro replied

The two dragons walked out of the cave and took off. Flame and Ember joined them in the sky, and they flew off in a random direction.

Michael slashed his sword out, cutting a demon in half, roaring. He rushed to the hellgate, casting a spell to close it. The red portal slowly closed, but not before letting a few hundred demons pass through it. Michael jumped forward and brought his sword down.

The four dragons flew around in random directions for a couple of hours, inspecting ancient, abandoned ruins. They tried to guess at the history of this planet, but could not understand the writing. After the sun had set, they had returned to the village, Spyro was exhausted.

"No more parties that last all night" he said, yawning.

"Aw, that was so fun though" Ember replied, looking just as tired.

Cynder smirked "Guess it's good that I went to bed early then"

They sat around a fire and ate some leftover deer they had killed yesterday. Then they went back to their shared cave and fell asleep.

They woke up to a dragon entering the cave.

"Hey guys!" he said "A portal just opened!"

The four dragons jumped up and rushed out of the cave. They flew back to where they first came through the portals, to see a shimmering portal floating a foot off the ground. Then, Michael stepped through it, he was covered in red and black blood, the membranes in his wings were cut and torn in many places. Three parallel scratches ran down his left cheek. He looked beat up and bruised, multiple knives were stuck up to their hilts in Michael's sides. His sword hung at his side, completely slicked with blood. Michael looked around at the group that formed in the clearing.

"Glad to see your all okay" he said

"What happened?" the captain asked

"I just killed a member of the high council of the Dark Authority." he answered "I think it's time for you to return, pack your things and return here."

Spyro ran off to grab both of their armor, Cynder stayed to help Michael.

"Who did this two you?" she asked, pulling a knife out of his side.

"Demons, darkened soldiers, cursed armies" he replied, wincing as he pulled out another knife

Cynder's eyes grew wide when she saw the serrated edge of the knife Michael just pulled out.

"How many people are on the high council?" Cynder asked, eyeing Michael's torn wings

"There can only ever be ten, when one dies, they group together to find a replacement. But now during a war they won't do that. So, all I have to do to win the war is to kill nine more of them." He explained

Spyro and the others returned with their things, and Michael walked through the portal. They followed one by one until the whole group was back in Faun.

"What planet were we on?" Spyro asked

"I didin't just send you to another planet, I sent you to another dimension. I made sure you couldn't just portal back during your forced break." he told them.

Spyro nodded, more than a little angry, but let it slide.

Jake walked around the corner, and ran to them.

"Your back! Mary was starting to get worried." He said, panting

"Is she here?" Spyro asked

"No, she's watching the kids. I got called to action in the Triad army but Michael pulled me out and put me in a defensive army for the capital. I came here to get some new armor made, and I heard Michael was going to get you." Jake answered

Spyro watched as the rest of the group separated and headed in different directions. The rest of them walked home, watching the hustle and bustle of the patrons as they went about their daily lives. When they got to the square, Layla came out to meet them.

"Hey" she said

"Hi, how's the hunt doing?" Spyro asked

"I'm dating a nice prince from another territory, its going nice." She told him

"That's good" Cynder replied "I hope it works out"

Spyro and Cynder walked into their house. They settled onto the couch and enjoyed the comfort of cushions for the first time in six months. They relaxed for a few hours, then ate a meal, and decided to go to the dock and see what had happened while they were gone. They took flight from the square and soared over the city. Landing just outside the dock's main gate, Spyro and Cynder started looking around. Hundreds of docks were thumping in and out of the airspace above them, they were surrounded by the busy movements of workers, soldiers, and even a couple generals were walking around. Spyro walked into the newly rebuilt main center of the dock, watching as the receptionist looked up at him in surprise, then looked down, blushing. Cynder chuckled a little, then the two dragons walked into the main war room.

"What are you doing here?" the head general asked

"I want to get an update on the events of the last six months." Spyro answered

"We'll, the first thing that happened after you were, sent away, was an immediate attack on the Dark Authority's core factories. We decimated them and cut off the enemy from their supply of weaponry. Then Michael led an army to force the retreat of the biggest threat we could find on our borders. He pushed the army all the way to the nearest fortress, which he immediately seized and crushed. He captured a dark apprentice, and tortured him for the whereabouts of his master. They found the location to be a very secure planet, we couldn't even teleport a fortress to its surface. So, Michael opened a big portal and led another army onto the planet. Then he dropped off the grid for 3 months, and we kept pushing back against the enemy's attacks, eventually reaching the limits of their armies. They started entrenching, and were still holding them there. After a while, Michael informed us that he was about to launch an attack on the capital, and to prepare to take the planet. We did as he said, and watched the holoprojection of Michael rushing into the city, fighting off demons and dark armies, then fighting and slaying the dark master. After that, he got you guys, and we took the planet. We now have a stronghold right in the middle of enemy territory, and are planning to start tearing away at the enemy from another front." Another general told them

While he was talking, projections appeared above the table, of attacks, warmaps and other gruesome images. The projection froze on an image of Michael, holding the still smoking skull of the dark master, his mouth opened in mid-roar. Cynder reached out and tapped Spyro on his shoulder.

"I'm going to go to the market and get some errands done, and check on some things" she told him

He nuzzled her "Okay, I'll see you at home"

Cynder hid her smile as she left. Spryo returned to the conversation.

"What's next" he asked them

"We are going to concentrate a considerable number of forces in the new city. Then spread outward in every direction." The head general answered

"When?"

"Soon, but not now, Michael needs a moment to recharge his magic, and we need to give our armies a break."

Spyro nodded, then talked with the other generals for a while. Soon, the sun set and the generals set out to relay their orders. Spyro flew home, lost in thought about the current plan of attack, and wondering how his adopted family was doing.

"I'll have to go to Warfang soon" he said to himself

He landed outside his house and noticed all of the lights were off. 'Must have gone to bed' he thought as he opened the door. Then, the lights suddenly flashed on.

"Surprise" everybody yelled

Spyro yelped and jumped back, instinctively launching a fireball. It struck Michael square in the face, the smoke cleared, revealing his face untouched except for a very annoyed look.

"Told you we shouldn't have made it a surprise." He grumbled

"What's going on?" Spyro asked

"Well, last time we talked, Nina told me when your hatchday was, and I find its no coincidence that Michael brought us back today" Cynder told him

"It, wasn't" Michael replied

Then the aforementioned fireflies flew out from around the corner.

"Happy hatchday Spyro" Nina said

"Hey there, another year for you huh" Sparx said "We missed the last few, due to being trapped in a crystal"

Spyro smiled at his family, Mary walked up to them, her kids were around somewhere.

"Your mother would always throw a party on your father's hatchday, so Cynder thought she would take up the tradition." She told him

Spyro celebrated with his family until midnight, then the party settled and everybody left to go to the neighboring house, Michael had repurposed the house so that visitors can stay as long as they want. Spyro and Cynder went into their room for the night.

"Thanks" Spyro said

"Your very welcome" Cynder smiled "Anything for you"

"I'm gonna find out your hatchday, and I'm gonna throw a HUGE party."

"Good luck, Malefor never told me, nor did the apes."

The next morning, they woke up to the sun shining through the window. Spyro looked out onto the square to see Michael walking out of his door, he turned and looked around, confused. He sat like this a little, then Spyro got up and walked out into the square, leaving Cynder still asleep.

"What is it" He asked Michael

"I think somebody is coming from a very distant dimension" Michael answered

He reached a paw out and it started to crackle, blue lighting between his claws. Suddenly, a portal opened, this portal seemed different, it radiated with a powerful energy unlike anything Spryo had ever experienced before. A light blue dragoness walked through the portal, she had the same horn and claw style as Michael, and she also had the same kind of blades as him. Her tailblade looked like it was tempered differently from Michael's, it had darker layers mixed in a special design. Her chest and underbelly were scattered with darker blue scales, and her eyes were the same color as Michael's

"Spyro, meet my daughter Beatrice, or Trice." Michael introduced her

"Hi, nice to meet you" she said.

"Nice to meet you too" Spyro replied

Cynder walked out of the house, then looked at the new dragoness.

"Your daughter?" she asked Michael

"Yep" he answered

"You must be Cynder" Trice said

"You know my name?" Cynder replied

"Michael told me a lot about this dimension, and when I heard there was a war, I wanted to come check it out." She explained.

"You love your war" Michael said

She blushed a little, then flew off. Michael laughed as she looked around for a moment, before flying towards the dock. Suddenly a letter burst into appearance above Michael's head. He grabbed it and started reading.

"We need to go, some dark magic has been detected in Genrir, a siege is expected on Warfang within a few hours." He told them

"Then let's go!" Spyro replied

Michael woke up Flame and Ember while the couple got their armor on. Soon, the five dragons were ready to go. They flew out to the docks and met up with Trice. They went into the control room and Michael taught the four dragons how to charge to fortress, then let Cynder take control and pilot the fortress back to Genrir. With a shudder and the usual flash of light, the fortress teleported back to its position over Warfang. Trice walked out of the control room and took off to inspect the defenses. Ember took Flame to go see her mother, and Spyro left with Cynder to find his parents. Spyro landed near a major housing complex and started asking some guards where the dragonfly housing is. Eventually, a guard finally knew what he was talking about, and pointed them in the right direction. After walking through a labyrinth of alleyways and roads, they finally arrived at a large building, adorned with small decorations and doors. They knocked on the only big door, and a bright green dragonfly answered, flying through a small door nearby.

"What do you guys want?" It asked

"Were here to see Flash and Nina, my parents" Spyro answered.
