Wings of Fire: The World's Fall

= Part 1 =
=== Chapter 1: An Uninvited Guest ===
One bright summer day, I was working on my new gadget called the Techno―gauntlet. It is an extension for my robotic hand which I have had for five years now. I lost it at a huge battle between me and my enemy, Zeraka, but in the end, I lost and Zeraka cut off my hand and then disappeared. My friends Kai, Jillian, and CDM found me at the outskirts of the battlefield and helped me build my robotic hand. I pulled out my communicator and asked Jillian if he could come to my lab.
“Yeah! Wait, where is your lab again?” Jillian asked.
“Just get NightWatcher and I'll open a portal,” I said. NightWatcher is a two-year-old NightWing/Wing hybrid dragonet that I’ had since Jillian, Kai, and CDM found me at the battlefield when we were leaving and I saw a silver egg. I thought it was a BladeWing egg, but it was an empowered NightWing egg, which meant he could read minds and see the future. NightWatcher was also an animus, but his first spell was to make a bracelet that protected his soul from the animus power.
“Ok!” Jillian said, walking toward NightWatcher’s cave. NightWatcher was practicing making a soul reader like his evil ancestor, Darkstalker, but NightWatcher saw that he would not be like Darkstalker, in any timeline. “All right, I have NightWatcher!” Jillian said to her communicator. “I’m gonna get Chaos!” Chaos is a NightWing/ IceWing hybrid who is much older than NightWatcher. 
Once Jillian got both of the dragons, I opened a portal for them to come through. Chaos was giving NightWatcher the stink―eye because NightWatcher is Darkstalker, but he promised he wasn’t. NightWatcher looked like he wanted to just shrink out of the situation, but he saw me and jumped toward me, knocking me over. 
“Graaaaaaaah!” there was a faint roar outside of the sky base’s window. “Grawr!!”
“What is that roar?” NightWatcher asked.
“I think it is another baby dragon!” I said. There was a faint tapping and I went to open the window. “Wait, is that a four-winged dragon?!”
“I think it is a HiveWing!” Jillian said, shocked.
I opened the window and the HiveWing dragonet poked me with his stinger on his tail and I froze up.
“ZERA!!!!!!!” Jillian yelled as the dragonet carried me across the ocean and NightWatcher followed, trying to get me back.
=== Chapter 2: A Meet with the Hive Queen ===
I woke up in a completely new area in something called a “hive”. Was it a beehive? Was it a dragon hive? A dragon’s talons tapped my head. “Zera! Wake up!” said the dragonet. “You’re in front of Queen Polyplax!” 
Queen Polyplax? I thought. I looked up and saw NightWatcher and a dragon sitting on a throne. Oh… Queen Polyplax of the HiveWings. That’s what NightWatcher meant. I stood up and greeted the queen with, “Hello, Your Majesty,” but Polyplax just tilted her head. Oh yeah, only the dragons of Pyrrhia can understand me, not Pantala dragons. “NightWatcher, can you translate for me?” 
I asked NightWatcher.
“Sure!” NightWatcher responded. He then turned to Queen Polyplax and roared, telling her how we were kidnapped by a dragonet and taken to Polyplax Hive and how they spoke English, not Dragon.
“Oh, sorry!” I thought Gear here brought food and a dragon-like Clearsight!” Polyplax laughed hard.
“Excuse me, Your Majesty but―”
“You can just call me Polyplax.” She cut me off.
“Yes, Polyplax, who do you mean by Gear…?” I asked.
“Oh, I guess you haven’t met him!” She said. “Gear is the one who brought you here! You can get out of your costume now, Gear.” The dragonet twisted his watch and he turned into a mechanical dragon.
Oh no… I thought. That’s a MechWing… “Polyplax, step away from Gear. Now.”
“And why should I do that?” she asked.
“That’s a MechWing, and MechWings want to kill every other dragon tribe. And none others. They want to be the only tribe in the world!” I yelled.
“I was looking forward to killing Queen Polyplax, but this SCAVENGER ruined it for me.” Gear said, mad.
“WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?” Polyplax screeched. “Zera, ca―”
I blasted Gear with my Lazer, making a small hole in the hive wall and killing Gear. “Yeah, got it,” I said, cutting off Polyplax. “but we need to get all the dragons of Pantala to Pyrrhia.”
“Pyrrhia?” Polyplax echoed. “Wait, do you mean the Distant Kingdoms?”
“Yes, but the name is Pyrrhia,” I answered. “Which has seven other dragon tribes, like the SandWings, Rainwings, MudWing, and others”.
“The only things I care about are the trees and dragons that are like Clearsight,” Polyplax said.
“Why the tr― oooooh…” I realized what she was talking about. “You are NOT making other Hives on Pantala!”
“Why not?” Polyplax asked innocently.
“There are dragons who LIVE in those trees, including NightWings!” I yelled.
“I don’t care about the NightWings, I just want to have shelter,” Polyplax said
“But the NightWings are the tribe where Clearsight has come from!” I said. “And, there are caves and things that you can take shelter in! You don’t have to destroy other dragon’s homes to make your shelter!”
“But I don’t want to see the LeafWings!” Polyplax interjected.
“You’ll get used to dragons having two wings, with the Pyrrhia dragons and the LeafWings,” I said. “And you might not be able to tell which is a RainWing or a LeafWing.”
“Fine,” the Queen said, annoyed. “but only if you find us shelter.”
“Ok,” I said, also annoyed.
“So, what do we do now?” Polyplax asked me, confused.
“We get all the dragons of the continent to be in one place, hopefully, and I'll open a portal so they could―” I cut myself off. Zera? I thought. Why did you reveal your power to someone who you JUST MET?!?! AND THEY’RE A DRAGON!!!
“What?” Polyplax asked, probably confused about the cutting―myself―off. “What do you mean, portal?”
Darn it… I thought, annoyed at what I just said. “Yep, that’s right,” I managed to say, slowly. “I revealed my portal powers to someone I didn’t know, especially when they’re a DRAGON!”
“HEY,” NightWatcher roared, but it was still squeaky. “I’m a dragon, and you were PERFECTLY CONTENT with letting ME know you had portal powers!”
“I know that,” I yelled back. “But I raised you from an egg, so I could tell you without you wanting to kill me!” I took a deep breath, and counted to 10, like Queen Sequoia. “Let's just get on with the plan,” I whispered, but loud enough for Polyplax to hear my voice. 
I then opened my Gaunt―menu (gauntlet menu) and brought out my wings, and flew off to the Poison Jungle to get the LeafWings, but I kept a close eye on Polyplax, making sure that she went to get the SilkWings.
=== Chapter 3:  The Escape Plan ===
“Aw, COME ON, Camphor!” a female dragon’s voice yelled from the LeafWing village. “When will you stop BOTHERING ME, you HIVEWING?!”
“Ugh, Sundew!” Said another dragon, whose name supposedly is Camphor. “Will you PLEASE stop calling me a HiveWing? I know that I am half HiveWing, but I am part LeafWing, too!”
Half HiveWing? I thought. I need to get to know this dragon. I flew into the jungle, and a plant gave me fruit, and I scanned the fruit before eating it, just in case it was poisonous. I continued and Camphor saw me and stopped.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Camphor screamed. He was a colorful dragon, almost looking like a painting. He had black-and-orange stripes on his underbelly, scattered blue spots, red―and―green frills on the back of his neck, a yellow snout, green―and―black stripes on his back, and four dragonfly-like wings, which had pads of blue on the shoulders. “Oh. CRICKET! We found one of your reading monkeys!” he turned around and yelled to a HiveWing reading a scroll, wait, no, it was a bunch of scrolls bound together inside of leather(I need to make those when this is over). The HiveWing slammed the book down, adjusted her glasses (dragons wear glasses?), and quickly flew down to us, a big smile on her snout!
“OH WOW! A reading monkey that is surprisingly not afraid of dragons!” Cricket said happily.
“Can you please stop calling me a READING MONKEY?!?!” I yelled at the dragons. A few of my powers from my gauntlet leaked out and made a crater around me. “I am a HUMA― oops.”
We were all looking at each other like,
😐
“Umm, sorry,” I said. “My name is Zera, and I have come to get all the LeafWings to Pyrrhia,” I said to the three.
“Why exactly should we do that…?” Sundew asked me. “Again?”
“Well, I think we should listen to him,” Camphor said to the others. “The plants have been telling me that a stranger would come soon and tell us to leave, all like, ‘Someone is coming,’ and ‘you need to leave,’ and all that. I don’t think we could come back after, because an animus enchanted a type of plant to see the future, and they say that nothing is going to be left of Pantala after that.”
“Ok, fine.” Sundew said. “We’ll go, but only because the continent will be destroyed,” she mumbled something else, but I could not make out what she said.
I checked on Polyplax and saw that she was in the flamesilk cavern with multiple dragons. Wait, is that Luna and Blue? It was. “I need you three to go to the main part of the village and lead all of the LeafWings through this portal.” I opened a portal next to me, and I went on. “I need to go help Queen Polyplax, but when I finish, I'll meet you all at Pyrrhia, ok?”   
“Ok.” they all said at once and turned around to get the LeafWings. Sundew muttered something about Polyplax, but I did not know what it was
I also turned around and took off to Polyplax Hive―formerly Wasp Hive. When I got there, I headed down to the flamesilk cavern. There were HiveWings everywhere, but Polyplax told them to leave me alone. I then got to Blue and Luna’s cavern, and they were just getting done with their silk cycle for now. “Hello, Blue and Luna,” I said to them. “Soon, you will― no, I can't.” I could not bear to see the flamesilks chained up like this. “Polyplax, let them out.”
She ignored me.
“I CAN’T STAND HAVING THEM CHAINED UP LIKE THIS, LET THEM OUT!” I yelled. Some of my powers from my gauntlet leaked out―again―and made another crater around me, breaking some of the chains for the flamesilks, but not Blue or Luna’s. “Oh, moons, I did it again.” 
Blue was holding his arm up, flamesilk spiraling out of his wrists. His and Luna’s eyes were wide open, and you could see fear in them. “WHAT was THAT!?” Blue yelled.
“I’m sorry,” I said to them. “I didn't mean to do that…” Wait, what? How did I talk to the dragons of Pantala? I thought to myself. NightWatcher was staring at me as if he thought that, too. 
How can he talk to us? Blue and Luna both thought. 
“I think it was― wait, WHAT?!” We all were scared now. We all stared at each other for what felt like hours. I thought the fruit―which I later named a talkfruit―let me read minds and speak Dragon. “I’m sorry, but I think I just read your minds… Sorry…? Well, once you get let out, you will go through a portal next to the Poison Jungle to Pyrrhia, OK?” I felt a sharp pain in my head. For a second, I saw a dragon that looked like a hybrid of all the tribes. It had silver spikes on the back of its head―IceWing,― it had a barb on its tail―SandWing,―four wings―Pantalan dragons,―lots of colors―Rain- and SilkWings,―and fangs―RainWings. I winced and opened a small portal for the other Flamesilks. “Go through this portal, flamesilks, and wait with the LeafWings. I will be there shortly to tell you where to go.” The flamesilks, including Blue and Luna, went through the portal and I heard a bunch of voices, probably the LeafWings’. I then turned around and followed them through the exit to check on the LeafWings and Flamesilks.
=== Chapter 4:  The Attacks ===
“I think he just is going to leave us here to be destroyed by whatever will destroy Pantala.” I heard Sundew say from inside the crowd. I was mad, but not as mad as earlier.
I decided to lend the dragons their shelter. 
“Attention, LeafWings, and Flamesilks! I know you might feel uncomfortable with each other, but there is a place where you can stay away from each other. And, Flamesilks, if you think that I will lock you up as that Polyplax did, you’d be wrong. I will lend you your rooms." I talked for a while, and then the HiveWings and SilkWings showed up and I had to repeat it all over again. All. Over. Again. 
I told the dragons I needed to build a sky base like the Human Sky Base, so I needed a day or two. They all agreed, and I flew away to the top of Jade Mountain so I could “Build” it. I opened my Gaunt-Menu and I pressed “Build Sky Base”. I pressed “Dragon Sized”, and I waited and decided to play my favorite game, Among us. Even though it was made in 6, 100 AS, it is still very popular. 
A day or two passed, and I finished a very long game of Among Us, and the sky base was finished. I told all the dragons of Pantala that I was done and I saw a whole bunch of dragons flying towards me. It reminded me of the MechWings, so I looked at Pantala and I saw nothing. Pantala was gone. Destroyed by the MechWings, just because of one dragon’s death. I saw that weird dragon again, but the colors were brighter, and it was bigger, as if it was getting closer to me, or… maybe… it was me… No, that’s not possible, for a human to turn into a dragon, I thought, scared. Is it? My mind flashed through images of crystal that looked as if they were made from… dragons’ scales? Crystals? Whatever they were, the crystals were weird. 
I must have had a blank face for a while, because, after a while, NightWatcher and Jillian found me and asked me if I was OK. I tried to explain to them what I saw, but my mouth was not working and I made weird groaning sounds. I decided that I needed to go to bed, so I flew off, badly, to the sky base and went to bed. 
Oh, hello, Zera, a voice echoed in my head while I was asleep. You must be wondering who I am. I am Kriolos, the ORIGINAL DRAGON! OW, that hurt my voice. Wait, my brain? Either my brain or my voice hurts. Well, yeah I am the original dragon, the voice said. 
What are you doing in my head! How can you even talk to me?! Wait, are you the dragon that I keep seeing?  All these questions rambled on in my head.
It's complicated, it's complicated, and no.  The voice continued. You are the dragon you saw in your head. I was just merely sharing the future with you. If you want to ―BEE―that dragon, hehe, then you have to use the Dragon Crystal―
"STOP!!! Get out of my head now!!!" I yelled out loud and opened my eyes. There was a crystal in front of me and I couldn't stop looking at it.  I was tempted to smash it, but I resisted the urge and put it in my storage in my gauntlet, for safe-keeping. NightWatcher came into my room and must have seen that Kriolos was still in my head, so he mind-frostbreathed into Kriolos' mind projection.
"Are you okay?" NightWatcher asked me. He looked like his mind was being overflowed by other dragons' thoughts, but the sky base was so high up that the dragons were not in mind-reading distance. I then realized what it was: the Dragon Crystal. I was feeling the same things that NightWatcher was feeling, and it was the Dragon Crystal. It was giving off thought-like screeching that made our brains hurt. 
I locked the Crystal away more and it stopped screeching. "Now, before you say anything―"
"Why do you have the Dragon Crystal?" NightWatcher roared. "Wait, are you working for Kriolos!??!"
"No, NightWatcher, he was talking to me, but I didn't say I would work for him!" I said to NightWatcher, who was on the floor, pacing back and forth. "What does the Crystal even do?"
NightWatcher searched his brain for a while, and finally found what he was looking for. "When smashed by a human, the Dragon Crystal changes the human into its favorite tribe of dragon," he paused for a bit, supposedly reading my mind. "What the Dragon Crystal will turn you into, Zera, is Surge, the All-bred dragon because you saved a whole Continent of dragons. I don't want you to smash it, but you will, because in every timeline I look into, you smash it― wait, TOMORROW?" he paused again, panicking. "Well, I guess we should get it over with, and you smash it now..." He mumbled something like, "I will regret this..." or something like that.
A few hours later, I got a broadcast to all of the dragons of the new Continent that the only way that I could protect them was to become one of their kind, and I smashed the Crystal above my head and I started changing. My whole body hurt so much as my back grew wings and my legs bent to shape the dragons' leg shapes. when it was over, I felt nothing. I looked down and I saw talons, then I looked back, and saw that I had 4 wings, and then I knew that I was Surge, the All-Breed.
=== Chapter 5: A New Zera ===
Zera was a whole new being now. He was no longer human, but a dragon, like me. What Zera, now known as Surge, didn't know was that I could see my past lives, and my old parents told me that if I ever saw a human, to do anything but approach it. I wanted to obey their rules, but Zera raised me, and I couldn't stay away from him. I didn't like that he was now a dragon, but I did like the colors of his scales. They were- wait you already know that, don't you...? Oh, moons, I am breaking the 4th wall...
"What's the 4th wall, NightWatcher?" Surge whispered to me. His voice had an accent that was different, like, what the humans call, a British accent. I don't know what British is, but humans call some accents British or other things. 
"Do you know how, in some games or shows, one of the main characters either looks at the screen or says something that applies to real life?" I explained to Surge.
"Yeah?" He answered.
"Well, that is breaking the 4th wall. Wait, why did you ask?"
"Umm... Don't worry about that." He said back to me. I think he read my mind. 
Surge's eyes were now a deep red, and I think they were... glowing. They were like little black holes like he was mad at something. I tried to see what he was thinking about, but he was shielding his mind in some way. in the past, I was almost able to shield my mind, but I couldn't. Surge's shield was stronger, though than a regular Skyfire’s power. It must be his magic, I thought, but when I looked down at his talons(I am at his knee-level), I saw that he had no robotic pa-I mean hand- wait, talon. Surge did not notice that I just messed up, or that he does not have a talon. It looked as if there were a red-striped hologram in the shape of his talon, like the Ethereal Extremity thing he used when he played Team Fortress 3. 
Surge talked to the dragons for a few more minutes, then he let them all go. "I need to go do something," he said to me once they all left. He flew up into the sky, and he made a big portal to... somewhere. I tried following him through, but it did not let me through. 
I decided to go get my friends, Typhoon the SeaWing and Tundra the IceWing. Tundra does notI’dlive in the Ice Kingdom, not because he was banished, not saying that he was, but because he does not like the cold. I know, it is weird, but it is true. They were waiting at the Dragon Base, so I decided to go up there. On the way up, I realized what I’d said last night to Zera. Who was Kriolos? I knew he was bad, but how bad? I must've had a blank face like Zera's when he had the visions of Surge because when I landed, Typhoon and Tundra asked me what was wrong. I said not to worry, but the thought of who Kriolos was haunted me for the rest of the day. There was another dragon there, too, a SilkWing, named Gem. His scales were beautiful, but if he were sneaking around he would stick out like a sore thumb. He was the oldest of the group, and he was starting to fall asleep like he was going into his Metamorphosis.
"Where is the Cocoon?" Gem asked, drowsily. Yup, he was going into his Metamorphosis.
"There are no Hives on this Continent, so we have to take you, maybe, to the Lost City of Night... Ok?" I said to Gem. He did not answer. Tundra frostbreathed on a bent palm leaf and it was solid, so we used that to carry Gem, who was now in his Cocoon, to the lost city of night.
=== Chapter 6: The Problems ===
The next few days passed by quickly, as we were waiting for Gem to come out of his Cocoon. When he did, his wings were bigger than usual. it is probably because his wings were together, and they were folded. I wondered where Surge was, if he came back or if he was still wherever he was. The four of us flew back to the Dragon Base, and we all went our separate ways. I went to bed at the Human Base and waited for Surge to get back.
                                                                              *
I walked around, looking for the cave to get to where Kriolos said the First Crystal would be. I had to lie to NightWatcher because I did not want him to know what I truly think of dragons. I HATE dragons because they killed my parents when I was just 2 years old. I had to teach myself to speak because I could not find where the human bases were, so I was lost and on my own. Over the years, I forgot that I hated dragons because when I found NightWatcher's egg, I had totally forgotten that I hated dragons, but now that I became a dragon, I remembered everything. I am looking for the Seven Crystals because I want to use them to have power over all the dragons and kill each other. NightWatcher made me soft, but I won't let that happen again.
I found the cave, and it was right under me, well, next to me. I dropped down, and I saw the First Crystal. I did not want to grab this one, because it showed whoever grabs it who they care about most, but I had to grab it because I couldn't get it any other way. When I grabbed it, I heard a voice. NightWatcher's voice.
"Where is Surge..." I heard NightWatcher say. I wanted to go back, but I needed to get the Crystal. The Dragon Crystal was the Seventh Crystal, so I just needed to crush the First one, and then I needed to get the other Five Crystals. I held it up, but then Kriolos said something.
Don't crush it, Surge. I heard Kriolos say to me. I want you to crush it in front of NightWatcher. I want him to see his dreams of being friends with you crushed like the crystals. If you did not know, I hate dragons, too, even though I am a dragon. The other Dragon Elders banished me to this cave, just because I was showing myself to dragons. Does that sound fair to you?
"No, it doesn't," I answered. "Wait, you're a Dragon Elder? I've heard of the Dragon Elder that went evil and tried to kill all the dragons, but I did not know it was YOU!" I was impressed.
Are you impressed, or are you scared? Kriolos asked me.
"I am impressed that you aren't that mad about it. That almost happened to me, but― you know what? never mind." I cut myself off.
What were you going to say? Wait are you― no, you can't be. Kriolos was confused, for all that I could see in his mind. 
I put the Crystal in my gauntlet― Wait where is my Robotic Talon? I saw a new thing in the place of my Robotic Talon― a hard-light talon. I pressed it, and a light-like talon came out. It was perfectly mimicking my arm's colors, and when I felt it, it felt like my scales. I moved the Crystal near it, and there was a tube that seemed to suck it up that was made from the Hard-light of the "talon." It sucked the Crystal into my Gauntlet and I spread my wings and lifted off into the sky to fly back into the portal. 
I reached the light outside the cave, and I saw everything on Hylomia, the Third Continent. I saw a red dragon flying towards me with an IceWing-like dragon, a dragon that looked like it was made of stone, and a robot dragon (who looked oddly familiar), so I quickly flew through and closed the portal. I did not want anyone seeing me without me not knowing them. 
Zera, I want you to come to Hylomia because this is where the rest of the Crystals are. Also, we need to do something else with the Crystals, so I need you to come here to do everything we need to do, Kriolos explained to me. Go back to Pyrrhia, and get all your friends, and come to Hylomia, OK?
"OK, Kriolos, I'll be back soon," I replied to Kriolos. I exited the portal and then I saw NightWatcher sleeping next to the portal. I knew the portals were loud, but I also knew that NightWatcher did not wake up until the next night, so I stepped over him and went to go talk to his friends. They were playing in NightWatcher's room, and there was an adult dragon in there, helping them - an adult SilkWing. 
"Are you Surge? NightWatcher told me all about you. I am Gem, and I just came out of my Cocoon yesterday..." his voice trailed off.
"Why are you here?" I asked him when he stopped talking. 
"Did you not hear what I said?" he asked me. "Did  not just tell you that NightWatcher and his friends helped me?"
"No, from what exactly?"
"They helped me with my Metamorphosis. They brought me to the Lost City of Night so I could have it."
"Well, that doesn't matter, so I just need you to take Tundra and Typhoon to the Third Continent. I have a friend there that-"
Wait, a Third Continent?" he cut me off.
"I have a friend there that will meet you when you get there. just look for scales like mine." I opened a portal to Hylomia. I did not need to say anything, and Gem, Typhoon, and Tundra went through the portal. 
I got the rest of my human friends to go to Hylomia, and Chaos, too, so I went back to get NightWatcher again. He was wide awake, and he was thinking about if there was a third Continent, which there was.
"Hey, NightWatcher, I've heard there is an actual third Continent, and I know there is because we are going there now," I said to NightWatcher when he was staring off into space.
"Whoa, I didn't see you there. Wait, what did you say?"
"We are going to the third Continent, Hylomia."
"I knew. You know I can see the future, right?"
"Yeah, I was just telling you just in case you didn't see it yet. Have you seen anything bad that could happen to me?"
"No, why?"
"Just asking," I replied. I was glad he didn't see me crushing the Crystals right in front of him. I put a spell on him in my mind so he would only see the good things about me, just in case he would see it soon. I and NightWatcher entered the portal, and we were in Hylomia.
=== Chapter 7: The New Continent ===
I and Surge headed through the portal to Hylomia, and I was amazed at how cool it was here. there was a giant bird-shaped airship that was flying in the sky, flying around- well gliding. It almost made me forget that Surge was going to... going to... what was he going to do again. I heard a high-pitched ringing that almost sounded like what the Dragon Crystal sounded like, and I remembered. He was about to crush some kind of crystal and gain new powers and... wait, for some reason, I cant see whatever the vision was anymore like a spell was put on me... oh. Surge put a spell on me. 
I used my mind to stop the spell and put up my mind shield. It got stronger while I was asleep, waiting for Surge to come back. I guess my body knew that Surge would want to read my mind every chance he gets.
"So, who is your friend we're going to meet here?" I asked Surge when we made it out.
"Well, Zera hatched out of his second egg a few days ago, and he found out about me, like, 2 hours after. And he contacted me from far away―wow―  and so I decided to come here so he could meet me in person. I need to go do something, so we'll meet him and then come back," Surge responded.
"ok," I said back to him. I saw a dragon that I saw in one of my visions and ran up to him and said hi. 
"You must be NightWatcher! Surge told me about you." The dragon said to me. I saw instantly hat he was taking a note of my life in his mind―wait, I should probably tell you how they can do that. CrystalWings like Zera can take note of dragons' lives so that they know if they are safe. CrystalWings can only do that if they meet the dragon in person. Surge was talking to himself, and Zera noticed and ran up to him. 
"Why are you talking to yourself?" Zera asked when he got up to Surge.
"I need to go, " Surge said back, not answering Zera. "I said that we would meet you, Zera, and then  I leave to go do what I need to."
"What do you need to do?" I asked Surge.
I... I can't tell you. It's a secret, for now." Surge said, then flew off towards the mountain, which I think is called Eternal Mountain.
"Umm, Surge is heading for Eternal Mountain, which is near Kriolos... Does he have any history of being evil, that you know of?" Zera asked me. I was alarmed that he asked me that, but I was more alarmed at the sound of the name Kriolos. I hope Surge isn't working for him, Zera thought.
"Why do you have a note of Kriolos' life in your mind, Zera?"
"Well, it is hard to explain, but... My friends and I met him. Oh, speaking of friends, your friends are in the sky base for the CrystalWings."
"Please tell me more about Kriolos. I said his name a few days ago, and  I did not know who he was... I just felt it in my head and said it."
"I... I've had a bad time with Kriolos, and I don't want to talk about it. Please." 
"Fine," I said, "but no, he has not been evil."
"Well, I have a bad feeling that he's working with Kriolos," Zera said, worried.
= Part 2 =
=== Chapter 8: The Crystals ===
"So, tell me, what do we need to do with the Crystals?" I whispered to Kriolos.
Zera noticed me "talking to myself" and ran up to me.
"Why are you talking to yourself?" Zera asked when he got up to me.
"I need to go," I said back, not answering Zera. "I said that we would meet you, Zera, and then I leave to go do what I need to."
"What do you need to do?" NightWatcher asked me.
"I... I can't tell you. It's secret, for now." I said and flew off towards Eternal Mountain.
When I got to the landing pad at the FrostWing base at the top of Eternal Mountain, I asked for a meeting with Princess Frost. She is my sister, who was... well, I should probably tell you the truth about me. I am an Elder Creator, which means that I created the Dragon Elders, and I was one of the first beings in the universe. Me, Frost, and, ugh, Zeraka, all created the universe together. And yes, my MORTAL ENEMY is my brother. I created the bad things, like Darkstalker, Zeraka creates the good things, like the Dragonets of Destiny, and Frost created the FrostWings, which aren't actual dragons, but different things called wyverns. Another reason I am getting the crystals is so I can reset the universe and make it how I like it. 
Later, I got the meeting with Frost.
"Hello," she said to me. "Who are you?"
"What," I said to her, "I am Surge." She looked at me with a confused look on her snout. "Your brother."
"OH! Hey, Zeraka!"
"WHAT?" I said to her, "I am not Zeraka. I am Zera."
"Oh, sorry, Surge. It's been so long, I forgot what you looked like." It had been long, a century. "I was just thinking about heading over to Pyrrhia to see you. I... well, I kinda want the world to change, like everyone be evil now. I am getting tired of the goodness Zeraka gave."
"Me, too," I said to her, "I am looking for the Crystals to reset the world."
"I am just looking for the Seventh Crystal and the First Crystal. Do you know where they might be?"
"Yes, in fact, I do." I pulled the First Crystal out of my Techno-Talon. "Here is the First Crystal, but...the Seventh Crystal is crushed. That is why I am a dragon."
"Can't you have just used your powers to turn yourself back into a dragon?"
"Yes, but I had just saved the Pantala dragons, and I did not want them to wonder who the random dragon there was, so I used the Dragon Crystal," I explained to Frost.
"Here, take the other five Crystals," Frost said as she handed me the Crystals. I put them in my Techno-Talon. "Go to Kriolos, and get him to... kill you. I know it sounds crazy, but the only way to recover the Crystals is by killing the being who crushed them. Kriolos can revive you, but you have to die to make the Eighth Crystal. You have to crush them all together and that will make the Eighth Crystal."
"Ok," I said, scared. I rarely get scared, but the thought of me dying on purpose almost paralyzed me with fear. I said goodbye to Frost, spread my wings, and flew off to Kriolos' cave.
=== Chapter 9: The Finale ===
"Um, I can't feel Surge's life anymore," I said to NightWatcher when we were in my room in the CrystalWing base.
"Wh-What do you mean, you can't feel Surge's life anymore?" NightWatcher asked me.
"I took note of his life, but I can’t find him anymore- wait, I feel him again." The note came back, but it wasn't as strong. I thought about how that could've happened, but then I realized. Kriolos. He is the only dragon that has revival powers. Surge was evil. "Do you hear my life notes?" I asked NightWatcher. 
He had a scared expression on his snout. "I can't believe Surge is evil... I mean, he's been so nice to me all these years, I never would have known." 
I got a splitting headache that felt like pins were getting shoved into my head, and then I heard a voice. Surge's voice. "Come on out, you cowards!" I heard wingbeats outside the sky base and I went outside, NightWatcher following.
"No, NightWatcher, go get your friends. the Camphor guy came too. get him. I think he will be strongest." I said to NightWatcher.  I heard a portal opening outside and then I saw Surge fly through it, and he had a crystal-like thing in his talons. NightWatcher quickly came back out, and we entered. 
When we got out, I saw miles and miles of stone and a metal wall that went around all the stone. It was a huge building, and I could tell what it was instant. Just by memory from playing games in my room, I knew it was the SCP foundation. I was excited, but also scared. I was happy to be able to see what SCP-999 looked like, but I also did not want to see SCP-173 or SCP-096 because I did not want to be [REDACTED]. the only thing funny about SCP-173 is this: 
Skedaddle, 
Skedacted, 
Your neck is now [REDACTED]
"First, we need to get SCP-6003, 6004, and 6009," I said to the group. "Surge most likely will get SCP-6000, SCP-6001, and SCP-6010."
"Um, can you explain what is going on here?" Camphor asked me.
"NightWatcher, tell them what is going on, and ill meet you back here in a bit."
"Ok." 
Later, I came out of Site-██ with SCP-6003, SCP-6004, and SCP-6009 and met Surge outside(I managed to get SCP-6003, SCP-6004, and SCP-6009 out because I reflected light off of me to make the workers there think that I was a new SCP that was about to be put in. I was classified as "safe" because I did not try to fight the workers).
"Well, well, well, 6 SCPs managed to get out of Site-██ with help, didn't they. How did you know where they were?" Surge said to me when he saw me.
"ZERA!"I heard NightWatcher yell from far away. Plants shot up from the ground and wrapped around Surge, making him drop the big Crystal he was holding. SCP-6000, SCP-6001, and SCP-6010 all jumped after me, but Camphor quickly made cases for them and transported them back into Site-██ instantly.  I flew down and grabbed the crystal before it hit the ground. SCP-6003, SCP-6004, and SCP-6009 all jumped after Surge, but he put up a bubble shield around himself, cutting the vines. the wolves bounced off of the bubble and landed next to me.
Surge create another portal to space, and it sucked us all in. I then saw a spaceship, and little astronauts inside, and I knew it was a universe where Among Us was real. Surge turned all of us into crewmates, and he made the ship bigger.
"Try to find who is the impostor, and I'll let you out," Surge said from outside the ship. I was the impostor, but I did not want to kill anybody. "and don't try saying that you're the impostor, whoever you are."
We all went our separate ways, but I went and killed Camphor in admin. "Sorry, " I said before venting.
The rest of the game went on a normal, people dying, bodies found, people ejected, and so,  I was ejected. Surge let us out, and we went back to our universe. I was still holding the crystal, but then Surge said something that we would never forget, "WHY WON'T YOU ALL JUST DIE?!?!?!"
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
"Heh, well, I should probably tell you the truth about me," Surge said to us. "I am an Elder Creator, which means that I created the Dragon Elders, and I was one of the first beings in the universe. Me, Frost, and, ugh, Zeraka, all created the universe together. And yes, my MORTAL ENEMY is my brother. I created the bad things, like Darkstalker, Zeraka created the good things, like the Dragonets of Destiny, and Frost created the FrostWings, which aren't actual dragons, but different things called wyverns."
"Why did you tell them?" said a FrostWing that looked familiar flew up to us, and I remembered. 
"Frost? You, someone who helped take down Kriolos, is Surge's SISTER?" I asked Frost.
"At the time, I forgot all about Surge, I promise!" Frost said to me. "But, if you want to still be friends, you could join us in taking over the world," she chuckled.
"Uh-uh. No way," NightWatcher said and flew in front of me. "there is no way Zera is going to join yo―"
"Sure," I said to them. "I'll help you."
"W-what?" NightWatcher asked and turned around facing me... "Why are you joining them?" 
"If it means still being friends with Frost, then I'll take it," I said to NightWatcher. Me, Surge, and Frost all flew through the portal to Surge's base. NightWatcher tried to follow, but it closed just before he got in.
                                                                              *
"Why, Zera?" I asked Zera right as the portal closed, "Why did you have to leave?"
Camphor, Gem, Tundra, and Typhoon Flew up to me.
"It's OK, NightWatcher," Camphor said. "Let's go home." 
                                                                              *
"That was a good choice you made back there, Zera," I said to Zera. "Now, can I have the Crystal back? I need it so I can reset the world, but you had it, so I couldn't have crushed it."
"Oh, sorry," Zera said, handing me the Eighth Crystal. "What is it?"
"You know about the Seven Crystals, right?"
"Yeah," Zera responded, "Kriolos was looking for them before we put him back to sleep in his cave. That was a day before my Metamorphosis.
"Well, this is the Eighth Crystal, which is a form of all the Crystals crushed in the same spot," I explained to Zera.
"Oh, cool!"
"Well, we should probably crush it now and reset the world, right?" Frost interjected.
"Kriolos said to crush it in front of NightWatcher, but I think that is far behind us," I said to Frost and Zera.
Something whooshed by my snout and stole my gauntlet. "HEY!" I yelled at it. I looked for it, but it had already disappeared. 
                                                                              *
"Heh, you should have been looking out, dragon," I said, flying off with the dragons... What is this? A technology glove? Whatever it was, I wanted to put it on my talon. Once I put it on, I felt a rush of power. I then saw a few random dragons that started flying towards me.
"Who are you, and why do you have Surge's gauntlet?" the small black one asked.
Surge, who is Surge? Oh. My brother. "I am Zeraka and I just stole it from Surge." They had relieved faces. "Why are you all like that?" I asked them.
"Thank you for getting the gauntlet for me," the NightWing said, pulling the gauntlet off of my talon. "It's the only thing I have left of him. Maybe we can send him into another dimension."
"You can’t do that to Surge. He will use his powers to get out. Wait, no he won’t. he said to me and Frost that if he gets a gauntlet like that, he would transfer all of his power to it, so now he is completely powerless!" I said. 
Later, the dragons introduced themselves and we found Surge's base and attacked it. "What is happening?!" I heard from inside.
"Well, Surge, We found a way to..." I heard cracking from the inside and saw a glow and I knew that Surge crushed the Eighth Crystal. "Oh no..."
Surge came out with what looked like armor on, except the "armor" was the same color as his scales.
"We will not let you reset the world!" NightWatcher yelled, putting on the Gauntlet. he pressed something on the gauntlet and a huge portal opened up behind Surge.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Surge yelled as he was being sucked into the portal. I was happy that he finally got what he deserved. "No," he said again, but calmer. "I am not going back to that place again." and just like that, he was sucked into the portal to the other dimension, never to be seen again. As for Frost and Zera, they went back to the good guys, and I erased all bad dragons from the universe.
== Epilogue ==
===== NightWatcher =====
It felt like... shattering. Two months after Surge fell into the portal, and everything returned to normal, There was a weird feeling, like my soul being shattered into millions of pieces. Now, every time i wake up, for a split second i see something that looked like a pure white hallway, but there were different parts of the world - more like other versions of the same place - in each door. I have a feeling things are not as calm as it see--
