Chapter 1 prologue

It had been a little bit over three months since the fall of Malifor. The guardians sent out messengers to notify everyone in hiding that the war was over. Many dragons were ecstatic at the news and starting to return to the city of Warfang.

Though none could be happier than two special young dragons in particular.

Spyro the legendary purple dragon who bested the former tyrant in a struggle to free the world and Cynder the black dragoness formerly known as the Terror of the Skies who once stood as Malifor's right hand general.

The world had been saved and they were looking to having a normal life which they kinda didn't know how to do considering that Spyro was brought up by dragonflies and Cynder was brought up by servants of Malifor.

According to the guardians who were leading a new school for younger dragons like Spyro and Cynder, participating in a school was probably as close to normal as they could offer them. They appreciated them for that but the guardians were still looking for another to fit the position Ignitus left vacant.

It really pained them all that he had perished trying to get Spyro and Cynder through the flames. Spyro delivered that news with a heavy heart.

Months had passed and Spyro was walking with Cynder through the city of Warfang to meet up with the guardians about finding a new replacement for Ignitus's old position as the fire guardian of the dragon temple.

"Do you believe that the candidates for the guardian position will be suitable" Cynder had asked her boyfriend Spyro.

" Who knows, to me nobody can really replace Ignitus. Terrador and Volteer agree with me on that."

Ever since the war had ended, there have been dragons returning to the city, moles and cheetahs have been rebuilding the city and the recently formed dragon council had made some improvements to ensure the security and the happiness of the citizens.

To him the council had in his opinion rushed the decision to appoint a new guardian and Cyril had agreed wholeheartedly with them, that and other issues not related.

Even running from other dragonesses had started to become an every other day hassle to deal with.

"Hey Spyro old pal are you enjoying your time with the evil she dragon here?" Sparx appeared near him as they were approaching the temple. Cynder glared at him and Spyro rolled his eyes at his foster brother's remark.

"Sparx can't you let it go she is not who she used to be." Sorry bro can't seem to get over the fact that you two are spending more time with each other like this. Sparx replied. Listen Sparx you need to cut with the insults otherwise one day someone is going to return the favor."

"Geez I wonder when that will be"? Sparx muttered to himself Spyro and Cynder did not seem to hear him over the commotion. "Anyway, Spyro the guardians need to see you as soon as you can get there. A report came to them from some cheetahs who were out scouting saying that they may have seen what looked like Malifor in the woods and- …

"WHAT" spyro yelled drawing the eyes of several people "we need to get to the guardians immediately." The last thing he wanted to do was deal with was Malifor a second time.

Even after all that they've been through, they still needed to deal with Malifor's malice and his armies least the ones that still remained. Since the war they have been scattered across the globe, "won't he ever stay down" Spyro thought to himself. 'I rather enjoy the times that I do have with her rather than saving the world and doing errands for the guardians'.

Three months of peace was all that he had from the war, Malifor and the apes. 'I wish that there was some way to end this war permanently'.

He really wanted to have as much time as he wanted with cynder, but he was the purple dragon of legend so it was obvious that he had to deal the evil in the land in order to maintain peace. "How is it that Malifor is back we saw him get pulled into that purple crystal"? Cynder asked him.

Meanwhile in Amity Park,

Danny was out fighting a particular black ghost dragon in the wooded area near Casper High. His classes had gotten out a couple of hours ago when his ghost sense went off. He discovered that it was Aragon Princess Dora's evil brother. Danny had no idea how he got his amulet back but he needed to get Aragon away from the school and hopefully cause as little damage as possible.

"Geez, Aragon could you learn to control that little temper of yours"? the halfa Danny Phantom cried at the ghost dragon, the two of them had been fighting for a little bit over half an hour to take the other down. Aragon just snapped his jaws at the ghost boy in retaliation for his remark.

"Got two suggestions for you, option 1 take some anger management classes or option 2, if you can't calm down on your own, just take a chill pill".

He charged up an ice ball and threw it in the black ghost dragon's open maw. His eyes got showed a look of shock before reeling back. The ice shot had literally frozen him over and he fell to the ground as a result. The ice shattered leaving his entire body weakened.

Before Aragon could do anything else, Danny had taken ahold of the amulet around his neck which returned him to his medieval ghostly prince form. He could do nothing but stare in anger at Danny as he was sucked into a Fenton thermos that the boy had brought with him.

"Seriously dude, if there were multiple dragons like your sister in the ghost zone they can probably help you with those anger management issues".

He capped the thermos and decided to fly back to Fenton Works since it was a ways away from the park and even though it had been about seven months since the asteroid incident, he and his friends were now sixteen and his sister was about to start collage.

If he walked, he would be swarmed by the people of Amity Park, not to mention news crews, and Phantom fans.

Lo and behold here come a few of them now. "DANNY OH PLEASE WON'T YOU GO OUT ON A DATE WITH ME?" one of the many girls asked him. "DUDE CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR AUTOGRAPH?" said another. "CAN I GET A PICTURE OF YOU WITH MY SISTER PLEASE OR MY LITTLE BROTHER?" It just went on and on about the requests. Danny wasn't sure on how much more he could take of this.

It took a while okay maybe two months since the disasteroid incident for people to truly accept him as one person. Valerie apologized to Danny for constantly hunting him down and he forgave her easily. The other students were more respectful to him for defending them, the town, and the world.

The Guys in White on the other hand were a little bit more of a nuisance to deal with. He had to convince them a little bit more in both court and consult with federal psychiatrists much to Jazz's annoyance. She could have easily provided support. It took a couple of weeks but they won out.

Everything was settled and he went to enjoy his life, it was already summer vacation for them and he was looking forward to a little camping trip with Sam and Tucker, his duties as Mayor of Amity Park on top of schoolwork made it extremely difficult for them all to have some time together and maybe this weekend they could finally get some real time together like they used to.

"Hey Danny" his girlfriend Sam was in the Kitchen of his house and appeared happy that he had at least been able to arrive in time for their date. She was wearing black pants, black jacket and purple t-shirt underneath. They had decided to go to the movies to see a horror flick of that Sam had wanted to go see.

"Sam sorry I'm a little late, had to handle an old scaly friend of yours." Danny smirked when he said this. He shifted back to his attire he had earlier on for the night, brown neutral T shirt with appropriate baggy jeans to match. Sam just frowned.

"You mean Prince Arrogant" she asked in a dry tone. Danny laughed at her little pun. "Yep you could say that". "I'll return him to his realm later." "Probably want to use the infimap again so I won't get lost looking for it."

After the movie got out Danny flew Sam to her house where her parents were anxiously waiting for her. Despite everything that happened they still didn't trust him completely as he was constantly fight enemies and didn't want their daughter Samantha to get hurt.

Sam kept replying to Danny that they'll get over it someday. She said good night to him and turned in for the night. When he got home he decided to turn in for the night himself.

In the morning, he realized that he forgot about aragon in the thermos and was getting ready to leave for Dora's place to drop off her brother and his amulet. He told his parents that he was going into the ghost zone for a bit.

Putting on one of his old red and white shirts and baggy jeans, he got ready to head out. He knew it wasn't necessary but if he changed back at least he would have something else on.

Danny changed to his Phantom alter ego, grabbing the infimap off his desk, he flew through the floors into the ghost zone toward princess Dora's Realm.

With the amulet and the thermos in a separate bag on his back and the infimap in his hands, he was about to ask it to take him to Dora the Princess, but taking a second glance at the map he saw the words "Dragon Realms" labeling a random portal elsewhere in the ghost zone.

He thought of it as interesting so he decided that he could ask Dora about it even though she wasn't a true dragon herself. Little did he know that fate had something else in store for him later, something in that realm to deal with…
