Dragon Studios' Fire & Night Script

## Synopsis

In an alternate timeline where Inferno survived the radiation from the World Core, eight months later where Inferno is living happily with Moon and his daughter, Flare. But when darkness emerges and takes Flare away due to her undiscovered abilities, it is up to Inferno and Moon to travel across the continent and save their daughter while fighting unimaginable dangers.

## Script

[scene begins with Inferno being thrown onto the ground. There are bruises and injuries all over his body, as he slowly lifts his head up. He looks forward, seeing Viper fighting against Storm. Inferno slowly stands up and grunts in pain]

[Storm suddenly harnesses some leftover power from the Strength Fragment and punches Viper away. Inferno slowly turns his talon, creating a portal. Storm grabs a pot on they ground and flip it over, and she turns to look at Inferno in horror]

INFERNO: I bet you didn’t see that coming, didn’t you?

[the World Core drops into Inferno’s talon, and he gives Storm a smirk smile]

INFERNO: It’s time… [exhales slowly, and the World Core finishes charging up] to let the fire engulf.

[Inferno activates the World Core, creating a blinding flash. Scene cuts to black, and a voice can be heard]

THE ATLAS GUIDER (V.O): Realm 2007, Inferno the FlameWing died to the World Core.

[scene cuts to Moon crying while touching Inferno’s heart. Inferno smiles and reassures her that everything will be alright]

THE ATLAS GUIDER (V.O): In that realm, the Winglets were able to defeat Storm and save their world, but at a price. But in this realm, Realm 364, the World Core was never damaged.

[scene cuts to Inferno holding the World Core, which didn’t have a crack on it, unlike the World Core from the main realm. Inferno activates the World Core, creating a blinding flash]

THE ATLAS GUIDER (V.O): This is Realm 364. A realm where Inferno the FlameWing survived.

[Dragon Studios opening plays with the song “Night in White Satins” by The Moody Blues playing in the background, and the landscape switches to the Multirealm. Towards the end of the opening scene, the Dragon Studios logo is formed by the fire, and the logo turns to show a bunch of stars and disappears]

[SCREEN TITLE: REALM 364]

[SCREEN TITLE: 5019 AS]

[scene cuts to a small hut, with Eternity in the distance. A dragon suddenly walks out of the hut, toward a meadow. The dragon arrives at the meadow, revealing to be Inferno, who survived from the World Core]

[in the distance is a FlameWing dragonet, and Inferno walks toward her. As he get closer, the dragonet is revealed to be Flare, Inferno and Moon’s daughter]

INFERNO: What are you doing there, firefly?

FLARE: [sparking fireballs in her talons and turning around to show Inferno while smiling sweetly] These things look so cool.

INFERNO: Okay, you should not be doing that, it can go out of control and burn this entire meadow. [slowly hold Flare’s talons and put away the fire]

FLARE: Okay, papa.

INFERNO: Your momma is making lunch right now, you wanna guess what she’s making? [smiles]

FLARE: Fish rice with a bit of blueberries on the side?

INFERNO: [surprise] H-how do you know that?

FLARE: [sheepishly] Because I read your mind.

INFERNO: You read my mind?

FLARE: Mhm. I’ve learned how to read your mind ever since momma taught me.

INFERNO: Momma taught you, huh? It’s fine, actually, your momma read my mind a lot when we were young. Your mom likes teasing and messing with me a lot. [picks up Flare and walks back to the hut]

[back at the hut, Inferno went inside, seeing Moon using her fire to cook the fish. Inferno lowers Flare onto the ground, and she runs down to the basement while laughing]

INFERNO: Hey, hon.

MOON: Hi, Inferno. [walks over to Inferno and the two share a kiss] So what was she doing?

INFERNO: Playing with fireballs. She told me you taught her how to read minds.

MOON: Yeah, eventually, she’ll learn how to do it, so why not teach her now?

INFERNO: Huh. What do you have there? [walks over to look at fish, which is being fried from the fire Moon made. Inferno turns to look at the bowl of blueberries] These things are cleaned, yeah?

MOON: Yeah, I washed them earlier.

INFERNO: [picks up one of the blueberries and fries it in his talon. He then eats it] Where’d you get these?

MOON: Ivory sent a box to us as a way to say thank you after we helped her get her tribe back. Anyway, I checked out Flare’s blood today.

INFERNO: [leaning against a wall] And the result?

MOON: Her level of Kedaren is beyond the both of us. If we can guide her to a greater path, [smiles] she’ll be better than both of us.

INFERNO: That’ll be great. It’s something we’ve always wanted, hopefully this power of hers would protect her. [grabs another blueberry from the bowl and eats it] I’ll go talk with her real quick, gonna leave you here to do your things.

[Moon chuckles. Scene cuts to Inferno heading down to the basement, where he sees Flare. There are two fireballs hovering above her talons]

INFERNO: [kneeling down and grabbing Flare’s talons to put out the fire] Hey, hey, hey, what did I tell you? You should not be doing that, okay? Especially not inside the house, it can burn the entire place down. Daddy promised you, I’ll teach you everything about it one day, just not right now.

FLARE: But I want to do it right now.

INFERNO: No, no, not right now. You’re a year old, you’re not ready for that yet.

FLARE: You became an assassin when you were one year old, it’s not that different from me.

INFERNO: Yeah, because my tribe was…

[Flare gives Inferno a sweet look, and Inferno just kneels there and looks at her, speechless. Inferno sighs, looking at the ground and shakes his head. He looks up at Flare, who’s still making the same face, and Inferno continues looking at her]

INFERNO: Please don’t give daddy that look.

FLARE: Please…

INFERNO: [eventually giving in] Okay, fine, your dad will teach you, but on one condition. Don’t use your power unless you have to protect yourself from danger, only protect yourself, okay? Meaning no playing with fireballs.

FLARE: Okay. [smiles]

[Inferno stands up and rubs her head, turning towards the stairs and getting ready to head back upstairs. Flare suddenly calls out to him]

FLARE: I love you, dad.

INFERNO: I love you, too. [walking up the stairs and his voice begins to go quieter] If I catch you playing with your fire again, I’ll call your mom and it won’t be good.

[Flare giggles, and scene cuts to upstairs, where Moon puts three plates of fish rice onto a table. Inferno grabs the bowl of blueberry and takes one from it before putting the bowl onto the table]

MOON: So what happened down there?

INFERNO: She wanted me to teach her how to use her fire. [grabs another blueberry and eats it] These things are so damn good.

MOON: That’ll be fun for both of you.

INFERNO: I’m not a good teacher.

MOON: Yes you are. [walks over to Inferno] You taught Sky and a few others… how many dragons did you teach at your academy again?

INFERNO: Seventeen, including Sky.

MOON: Yeah, so you can definitely teach her.

INFERNO: But I don’t know how to start, plus, that was a while ago. She’s one with a power that can burn an entire forest down. [look at the stair to the basement, he smiles, thinking for a moment] Anyway, I think she loves me more than she does to you.

[Moon scoffs and smiles]

INFERNO: Things have been so shitty these past three years, Moon. The entire Storm situation, me getting stabbed by her and trapped in a cave for almost three weeks. I just hope all the dangers would just go away, and giving me time to-

MOON: [nod and smiles] Spend time with you.

INFERNO: Sometimes, I just wish I can lay down, get rid of all these things, and just go to sleep, a peaceful one.

MOON: Inferno, you’ve been saying that for the last five years.

INFERNO: I know, because of all these dangers that are coming, Shadow, the flying scorpion, Storm… I just wanted to protect you and Flare, and our future.

MOON: You’ve worked yourself too much. You should take a rest.

INFERNO: [sigh] I don’t think I can. As long as there is something that can hurt you, I won’t rest. [approach Moon and touch her snout slowly, and she smiles] I won’t let anything tear us apart.

[Inferno and Moon touch their forehead with each other and embrace. Scene cuts to the next day, where Inferno and Flare are standing away from each other in the meadow]

INFERNO: Alright, shoot a fireball towards me. Let’s see what you got.

[Flare creates a fireball in her right talon, and she throws it toward Inferno. Inferno catches the fireball in his talon and spins it using both talons, putting the fireball out]

INFERNO: That was good. Now try again, but this time, put more of your energy onto it, understand?

[Flare nods, and another fireball summons in her right talon. She looks at Inferno and raises her talon at him, firing the fireball towards him. Inferno catches the fireball, but this time, it pushes him a little bit backward. He looks at Flare and smiles]

INFERNO: That’s better. [spins the fireball in his talons until it disappears] Again. [hold his talons forward, preparing to catch the fireball]

[Flare creates another fireball in her talon, this time, she charges it up with more energy. Inferno looks at her in surprise as the fireball begins glowing brighter in her talon. Flare released the fireball from her talon, but it didn’t head toward Inferno. The fireball went far left and hit onto the ground, creating an explosion]

INFERNO: Woah, woah! [rushes over to the fire and puts it out. He turns to look at Flare] What was that? [head over to Flare and kneel down] Flare, are you okay?

FLARE: [nod, while looking at the destruction] Yeah, I’m fine. I don’t know what happened, something went out of control.

INFERNO: Don’t worry about that hole, okay? It’s just a small mistake, I’ve made a lot of mistakes when I was young. [pick Flare up] Come on, let’s head back home.

[while bringing Flare back to the hut, there is a crack in the sky. The crack opens, and a shadow comes out of it. The shadow head toward Inferno and Flare as they reaches their home]

INFERNO: [to Flare] I won’t tell your mom, okay? We’ll keep this a secret between us.

[suddenly, the shadow impacts the ground behind the two dragons, knocking them onto the ground. Inferno loses his grasp and Flare drops onto the ground. Inferno grunts and see Flare laying on the ground in the distance]

INFERNO: Flare! [runs over to Flare to check on her, and he notices a bleeding mark on her temple. Inferno shakes Flare] Flare, wake up, daddy’s here.

[Flare eventually opens her eyes and she groans. Inferno smiles happily and helps her stand up. Moon comes out of the hut and rush over to the two dragons to check them out]

MOON: Inferno, Flare, what happened?

INFERNO: [turning to look at the shadow on the ground] Something knocked us down. [slowly approaches the shadow] What is that?

[the shadow suddenly rises into the air and transforms into a large shadow creature. Inferno, Moon, and Flare all look at the shadow creature in horror. The shadow creature tries to swipe Inferno away, but he was able to dodge it]

[Inferno blasts the shadow creature with some fireballs while flying around it to avoid being hit by it. Moon carries Flare toward a large boulder and hide her behind it]

MOON: Stay here. I’m gonna go help your dad.

[after Moon hides Flare behind the boulder, she runs toward Inferno and the shadow creature. While running toward them, Moon summons a green spear in her talons. Once she gets to the shadow creature, she stabs it in the stomach, and the shadow creature screeches in pain. Inferno blasts the shadow creature away and drops onto the ground beside Moon]

INFERNO: [referring about Flare] She’s safe?

[Moon nods, and the shadow creature charges toward them again. Suddenly, tentacles emerge from the shadow creature, and one of the tentacles grab Moon and throw her away. Inferno opens a portal to catch Moon and bring her back to the battle. His eyes begin to glow orange, and he jumps toward the shadow creature and begins burning it with his fire]

[multiple tentacles try to attack Moon, but she uses her spear to cut them all, only for them to regrow]

MOON: These things don’t die.

[one of the tentacles grab a large rock on the ground and throws it at Inferno, but he opens a portal between him and the rock, opening another portal above the shadow creature for the rock to drop on it]

[the shadow creature then hits Inferno away against a tree, and it grabs the Moon. Moon flails around and tries to escape from the tentacle’s grasp, but Inferno arrives and slices the tentacle in half with a blade. The shadow creature screeches in pain and hit Inferno in the snout with another tentacle, knocking him out]

[in the distance, Flare peeks over the rock to watch her parents fight against the shadow creature. She sees Inferno laying on the ground, unconscious]

FLARE: Papa…

[Inferno slowly opens his eyes and sees Moon continue fighting against the shadow creature. Moon stabs the creature and tries to pull the spear out of it, but the spear is stuck with the shadow creature. Suddenly, the shadow creature consumes the entire spear and throw Moon against a tree]

[the shadow creature rushes toward Moon and tries to grab her, but Inferno jumps between them and the shadow creature grabs him instead. It lifts Inferno into the air and snarls at him]

MOON: Inferno!

[Inferno tries to burn the shadow creature and escape from its grasp. Suddenly, a fireball is fired at the shadow creature, burning it a bit. The creature releases Inferno, and he drops onto the ground. He turns to look at where the fireball comes from, and he sees Flare approaching toward them with her talon out]

INFERNO: Flare, get away from here.

[Flare fires more fireballs at the shadow creature, damaging it. It screeches in pain and tries to attack Flare, but Inferno cuts one of its tentacles with his blade. Moon arrives and help the dragon, grabbing a dagger from her scabbard and charge towards the shadow creature]

[with one swing, Moon stabs the shadow creature in the eye, killing it. The creature collapses onto the ground, motionless, as Inferno and Flare approaches to look at it]

INFERNO: [his temple is bleeding] What is this thing?

MOON: I don’t know. It just came out of nowhere. [turns to Flare and kneel down] You’re okay, baby?

FLARE: [nod] I’m alright.

INFERNO: [stammers] W-what was that back there?

MOON: Huh?

INFERNO: When Flare attacked the thing… the fire from it doesn’t feel the same. [turn to Moon] Moon, her fire is something different.

[Moon stares at Inferno, and scene cuts to the three dragons arriving at another meadow with a few rock columns in the middle. Inferno and Flare stay back while Moon approaches toward the rock columns]

INFERNO: What is this place?

MOON: The answer. [lays her right talon against a column and closes her eyes] I need you to show me.

[winds begin to pick up, causing the grass to swing. Inferno is still carrying Flare while looking at the grass. Suddenly, a dragon wearing a hood appears behind a tree. She approaches toward the dragons, taking her hood off and revealing herself]

MOON: Sarya.

SARYA: Moon… haven’t seen you in a while. Why are you back here?

MOON: I need you to help me with something. [signals Inferno to bring Flare towards her] Our daughter, Flare, possessed both our powers, which is great, but hers are different from ours. I don’t know what caused that to happen.

SARYA: Let me check on her real quick. [signals for Flare to fly onto the column] Alright, kid, I’m gonna need you to get up here.

[Flare flies onto the column and sits there while looking at Sarya. Sarya begins to perform her magic to investigate what’s going on with Flare. Her eyes begin glowing purple as she travels further into Flare’s mind. Inferno and Moon watch worriedly as Sarya continues looking deeper]

SARYA: [her eyes stop glowing and she breathes] I found it.

INFERNO: So what did you find?

SARYA: Her powers did come from a combination of both of yours, yes, but that’s where the problem comes in. [look at Inferno and Moon] Her powers came from some hidden parts of you two.

MOON: What does that mean?

SARYA: Half of her powers come from a hidden ability in you, and the other half come from Inferno’s. Things like this never supposed to happen, but somehow, [points at Flare] she’s the first one to prove it wrong.

INFERNO: When she first used her powers, I felt it… differently.

SARYA: That’s part of the reason. There’s still something I’m gonna need you guys to know. [sighs] This dragonet that you have, she’s unique, her powers are completely different from anything else in this world, and when something is different…

INFERNO: Dragons begin hunting for it.

SARYA: [looking at the ground and nods] Unfortunately, yes. When she used her powers for the first time, I felt a wave hitting this meadow. I thought it was something random.

MOON: Maybe that’s why the shadow creature attacked us. [to Inferno] It’s coming for her powers.

SARYA: Correct. So keep her safe, okay? I sensed what she could become, she’ll be more powerful than both of you, and if a dragon with that power falls into the wrong talons, the decimation of this world will be something we’ve never seen before.

INFERNO: We will.

[scene cuts to later that night, Inferno, Moon, and Flare are back at their hut. Inferno and Flare are together in the basement, Inferno sits down next to Flare, who already sat down]

INFERNO: I know that was a lot to dump on you. [sighs while fiddling with a rock that’s colored by Flare] Things like this tend to happen a lot.

FLARE: I’m starting to wish that I was normal.

INFERNO: I had the same wish when I was around your age. [throw the rocks into a pile of toys] Not exactly the same.

FLARE: How did you get over it, papa?

INFERNO: I just do what I feel. I used to be afraid of the NightWings, after what they did to the tribe, but eventually, I overcame it. I had nightmares for many years after it, but I never succumbed to them. You and I, we are special, just don’t let something take it away from you. [tap Flare on her nose, and she giggles]

INFERNO: [hold his right talon out, forming a fireball] I want to show you something.

FLARE: I thought you said no fireballs in the house.

INFERNO: Yeah, but this is different. [the fireball bursts, revealing an orange gem. He holds it forward for Flare to see] This right here is the FlameWings Gem. It contains everything about our tribe, it’s legacy, the dragons, it’s all inside this gem.

FLARE: [the glow from the gem lights up her face] Woah.

INFERNO: I had this when I was eight. [chuckles] I remember those days where the entire world hunts me while I try to fix this piece of rock.

FLARE: What happened?

INFERNO: I’ll tell you more about it when you grow up. [hold the gem forward for Flare to grab it] Here, hold it. It won’t burn you.

[Flare grabs the FlameWings Gem, and she smiles as it lays in her talons]

INFERNO: This gem is passed on from generations to generations. [look at Flare and smiles] You’ll be its next keeper. [pause] Flare, you promise me you’ll keep this safe?

[Flare nods]

INFERNO: Thank you, honey. I also have something else that I want you to have. [takes the wristband off his risk and holds it forward for Flare] I made this a while ago, the wearer will be able to open portals to anywhere they wish.

FLARE: [excited] Anywhere?

INFERNO: Well, only to places and dragons you know. So if you ever get lost, use this, and find your way back home to us. [gives Flare the wristband and she takes it, putting it on her wrist, and it dangles around her wrist since it doesn’t fit. Flare pulls the wristband up her arm until it fits her] It suits you.

[Inferno stands up and heads upstairs, finding Moon sitting on a chair with a scroll in her talons, reading it. Inferno stands beside her, looking at the scroll]

INFERNO: What are you reading?

MOON: It’s just a scroll about another continent that the Winglets just found.

INFERNO: [looking out the window and seeing the dead body of the shadow creature] What’s new with the continent?

MOON: A few things and there, not-

INFERNO: [still looking outside the window] You want me to take the first watch tonight?

MOON: What?

INFERNO: Just so we’re on the same page, I’m talking about Flare. Sarya warned us that we have to keep our eyes on her, those shadow monsters are gonna continue to come after her. I can take the first watch.

MOON: Inferno, look, it’s not necessary. [smiles] We’ve done too much, let’s just probably get this off our minds and just have a good night.

INFERNO: Hmm. [sits down on another chair] These shadow monsters, Sarya said they come from a different realm, right?

MOON: Yeah.

INFERNO: Why would they travel to our realm for her?

[outside, another shadow creature emerges from a distance, looking at the hut and snarling. The shadow creature slowly approach towards the hut without Inferno and Moon knowing]

[scene cuts to later that night, when Inferno, Moon, and Flare are downstairs in the basement, sleeping. Moon and Flare share the bed, while Inferno sleeps on the floor with his stomach facing the ground. Cuts to outside, the shadow creature transform to a shadow and creeps into the hut]

[the shadow slowly makes its way downstairs. The shadow sees Inferno laying on the ground, sleeping. It continues to make its way toward the bed and creates a tentacle, grabbing Flare and dragging her off the bed]

[Flare screams in fear, waking up Inferno and Moon as she’s dragged upstairs by the shadow. Inferno runs after the shadow, the shadow grabs Inferno with its tentacle and throw Inferno towards a table, destroying it]

[Moon tries to attack the shadow with a kitchen knife, but the shadow grabs the knife out of her talon and throws it away. It then hits Moon away, against a wall. Inferno rushes towards the shadow, trying to burn it with his flame talons, but the shadow unleashes a blast that knocks him outside, destroying the wall of the hut. Moon arrives to stab the shadow with her spear she just summoned, but it grabs her spear and hit her across the snout with it]

[the shadow grabs Moon’s head with one of its tentacles and slams her head against the counter, knocking her out. The shadow stands over Moon as she lays on the ground, the side of her head bleeding]

FLARE: Mama. [the shadow drags her away from the hut as she screams] Guys!

[Inferno slowly stands up, clutching his injured arm in pain. He slowly limps back to the hut, seeing Moon sitting up with her head bleeding]

INFERNO: [collapses in front of her] Moon, three moons, you’re bleeding.

MOON: [breathing slowly and sitting up while clutching her head] The shadow took her. Inferno, they took her.

[scene cuts to the two dragons sitting by themselves in the destroyed and messy hut. Moon is sitting on a chair, tears running down her eyes as her bleeding mark is stitched up. Inferno is walking around the hut, trying to figure out a way to bring Flare back. Inferno lifts one of the broken planks up, and he drops it onto the ground]

MOON: [looking at Inferno] You know any ways to get her back?

INFERNO: [walking back and forth around the hut] Trying to figure how at the moment. It would’ve been better if I had my wristband, I gave it to her so she can get away when she’s in danger.

MOON: Why isn’t she using it?

[scene cuts to Flare being taken to a dark room. There is a chair at the center of the room, and the shadow place her there and straps her against the chair]

FLARE: [grunting and trying to escape] Let me go. Let me go. What are you doing to me?

[the shadow suddenly moves away from her as a dragon arrives in front of her. The dragon commands the shadow back into her talon, as Flare looks at her in fear]

ABSTRACT: Did my little pet treat you well? [summons a tiny shadow creature from her talon and holds it] Gotta say, I thought capturing you would be harder, considering your father is one of the most powerful dragons in the world.

FLARE: [continues grunting and flailing] What do you want from me?

ABSTRACT: What do I want from you, tiny dragonet? [kneel down to look at Flare] Your powers, I’ve never seen anything like it before. [pauses] I’ll let you go if you give it to me.

FLARE: Never. My parents will come and get me.

ABSTRACT: Inferno and Moon? How will they come here if they don’t have this? [hold up the portal wristband for Flare to see] That’s right, Flare, it’s only me and you now.

FLARE: They’ll come. I know they will.

ABSTRACT: Okay. Let’s test it. [summons multiple shadow creatures in many different forms from her talons, and they all rush toward the exit of the place] We’ll see if you’re right or not.

[Flare looks at Abstract in anger, and scene cuts to Inferno opening a crate. He reaches his talons inside and grabs a dagger, giving it to Moon. Inferno stands up while wearing a staff on his back]

INFERNO: Everything ready?

[Moon nods, and scene cuts to the two dragons arriving at a city. Inferno is carrying a bag of supplies over his shoulder as he leads the way while Moon follows after him. Multiple dragons around the city begin to notice the two dragons]

DRAGON #1: Is that the Winglets?

DRAGON #2: Three moons, it’s the FlameWing.

INFERNO: [whisper to Moon] Alright, this way.

[the two dragons walk down the street]

INFERNO: Okay, so I know this dragon three years ago, and we have this sort of conflict between us, so just let me do the talking, okay? Also, his name is Forat if that’s one of your questions.

MOON: What does he do?

INFERNO: He can see where dragons are using his mind. [referring to Flare] I figure he can help us find her… hopefully.

[Inferno and Moon reach a building, where they head inside. Upon entering, Inferno and Moon sees a dragon standing in the middle of the circle with his eyes closed. Inferno slowly approaches toward him]

INFERNO: [waving his talon in front of the dragon] Hey, Forat, open your eyes, I need your help. This is urgent.

FORAT: [opens his eyes, and sighs, he is not looking forward to the conversation that’s about to happen] Inferno the FlameWing, I thought I told you to never come back.

MOON: [looking at Inferno] What?

INFERNO: Look, I’m sorry, alright?

FORAT: Apologizing won’t cut it, pal. I told you to get the hell away from me, but here we are.

MOON: Inferno, what happened between the two of you?

FORAT: Oh, he never told you? Basically what happened was… I helped him escape from a prison in Suridja, but then he turned against me.

INFERNO: Yeah, that’s because you tried to turn me in after realizing how high my bounty was.

FORAT: The point is, we don’t work for each other anymore.

MOON: [holding her talons together] Forat, our daughter was taken last night by a shadow monster. We don’t know who took her, but we could really use your help to find her right now. Please.

FORAT: Does that explain why you two have bruises all over your heads?

INFERNO: Y-yes.

FORAT: [to Moon] Tell me her name.

[scene cuts to Forat standing in the center of the circle with his eyes closed again while Inferno and Moon stand outside, looking at him. Moon leans next to Inferno and whisper]

MOON: [whispering] You’re sure he can find her?

INFERNO: Yeah, I saw him do it once.

FORAT: [eyes still closed] Hey, quit chit chatting, you gotta be quiet so I can concentrate here.

MOON: Oh, sorry.

[scene cuts to Forat walking in a dark hallway with a bit of water on the ground. He looks around, trying to figure out where he is. As he walks further, he see a dragonet being strapped onto a chair while a larger dragon interrogate her]

FORAT: I see something.

MOON: Is it her?

[Forat continues to approach the two dragons. Upon arriving closer, he sees a FlameWing and immediately realizes that it’s Flare. He turns to look at the larger dragon, who’s staring at Flare]

ABSTRACT: You’re brave, tiny dragonet, just like your father, I gotta say.

FLARE: How do you know him?

ABSTRACT: How do I know him? [chuckles] Everyone in this world knows him, they love him, they cheer for him as he fights the bad and saves the good. But they are all so blinded…

FLARE: [stammer] W-why?

ABSTRACT: I’m not surprised how he never told you this, but your father… he killed a lot of innocent dragons. You know when he was a bit older than your age, he murdered at least a hundred NightWings in one week, alone.

[Flare looks at Abstract in horror as she continues to tell her about the story]

ABSTRACT: And one of the NightWings turns out to be my mother. It hurt me for a month. [grabbing Flare’s snout and holding it so she can see her] Your father isn’t a hero, Flare, he is just another uncontrolled dragon with powers who need to be stopped.

FLARE: [tears running down her eyes] That’s not true. My dad is not like that, you’re lying.

ABSTRACT: I wish I am, but everything I just told you is the truth. That’s why, [hold out her talon, and Flare looks at it as tears continue rolling down her face] I need you to give me your powers so I can kill him.

FORAT: [murmurs to himself] No…

ABSTRACT: Your powers are stronger than his, Flare. [she begins to become impatient] Give it to me, FlameWing. Give it! [her shout startles Flare]

FLARE: No… no. If what you said was true and I give you these powers, you’ll be no different than him.

[Forat opens his eyes and drops to the floor. Inferno rush to his side and help him stand up]

INFERNO: What did you see?

[Forat just looks at Inferno in concern. Scene cuts to after Forat has explained everything to Inferno and Moon. Inferno is leaning against the wall, thinking about how he killed the NightWings while Moon sits on the chair and looking on the ground]

INFERNO: Do you-do you at least know where they are?

FORAT: Their location is too vague, I couldn’t tell where they were by the surroundings. I know that they’re in a dark room, though.

MOON: [looking at Inferno] We gotta go now, every second we’re sitting here is another second wasted. [stand up from her chair and head toward the door, Inferno follows after her] Thank you, Forat.

[scene cuts back to the two dragons flying across the continent, eventually reaching the border, where they enter the ocean. They continues flying, when Inferno turns to look at Moon, who didn’t look at him back]

[Inferno sighs and looks forward. The two dragons didn’t speak to each other the entire flight, and they arrives a new continent when nighttime comes]

[cuts to Inferno lighting the campfire, while Moon is sitting and leaning against the tree. Inferno slowly sits down next to Moon and groans]

INFERNO: Is there something wrong?

MOON: [exhales] No. Everything’s fine.

INFERNO: I’m sorry about the entire NightWings Kingdom thing. [shaking his head while looking at the ground in guilt] I know it probably hurt you.

MOON: It’s fine. I grew up distant from the kingdom, anyway, [sniffles] so I don't care about whatever happened there. They were the one who banished my mother before I hatched.

INFERNO: It can be like shit sometimes.

[Moon suddenly becomes distracted, and Inferno notices her looking away]

INFERNO: Moon?

[Moon’s eyes close, and she collapses onto the ground. Inferno immediately rush over to her body and shakes it]

INFERNO: Moon. Moon!

[Moon opens her eyes, and she sits up]

INFERNO: Hon, what was that?

[Moon didn’t answer. She slowly stands up and walks forward, holding her right talon out as if she’s feeling something. Inferno stands up behind her and approach towards her side]

MOON: Baby?

[in the living world, Moon only sees continuous land stretching across the continent, but in her point of view, Moon is standing in the dark room with Flare. She reaches out her talons to feel Flare, and a drop of tear runs down her eye]

FLARE: Mommy, I’m scared. The dragon here, she… she can make shadow monsters.

MOON: Shadow monsters?

FLARE: I’m afraid she’s coming to kill you guys.

MOON: We’re gonna be fine, your dad can protect me, remember? Flare, I’m gonna need you to tell me where you are, so we can come and save you. Can you look around and tell me?

FLARE: I don’t know, I’m in this dark room by myself.

MOON: We’ll save you, okay?

FLARE: Please hurry- [voice begins to distorts]

[Moon regains her consciousness in the living world. Inferno is still standing by her side as she turns to look at him with a drop of tear on her eye]

INFERNO: What happened?

MOON: I found her.

[scene cuts to Moon explaining Inferno what happened, and he is confused by the things that she’s saying]

MOON: She told me she’s locked in a dark room. I don’t know where that is.

INFERNO: Did she tell you about the shadow?

MOON: [nods] She told me the shadow is just one of the few creatures that her captive can make out of her talons. Someone was sending these shadow creatures after her. Come on, we’ll have to go now.

INFERNO: No, no, no, wait. Did they hurt her?

MOON: I don’t think so. I didn’t see any injuries on her.

INFERNO: Okay. It’s night time right now, we should probably get some rest after what happened. And let’s not forget that we’re in a new continent now, dragons can attack us and we wouldn’t be able to get away because I don’t have my portal band with me.

MOON: Portal band?

INFERNO: It’s easier to say it that way. But that’s not what I’m trying to say, if we head out there knowing nothing about this continent, we’ll get killed. Trust me, I’ve been to a lot of continents and almost every single one is like that.

MOON: [looking on the ground] Fine.

INFERNO: I’ll take the first watch.

[Moon lays down, thinking about Flare for a moment. She closes her eyes and goes to sleep. Inferno walks back to the tree and leans against it, sighing. He creates a small fireball in his talon before putting it out]

[scene cuts to the shadow creatures running across the continent. One of the creatures suddenly transforms into a giant hawk and lifts into the air, flying in a different direction than the other. Eventually, the entire group of shadow creatures split up and head separate ways to find Inferno and Moon]

[cuts to the dark room Flare is in. The door to the room opens, and Abstract walks in, seeing Flare. She’s currently playing with the fireball in her talon when she notices Abstract standing in front of her. Flare immediately throw the fireball at Abstract in anger, but Abstract just put the fireball out with her power]

[Flare’s anger is suddenly replaced by fear and sadness, and tears run down her eyes]

FLARE: Let me go.

ABSTRACT: Give me your powers.

[Flare didn’t answer, and Abstract approached her. Abstract kneels down until both dragons are at the same level]

ABSTRACT: You are one stubborn FlameWing. [referring about Inferno] Why are you protecting him despite everything terrible he did to other dragons? Can’t you see? I can reshape this world to be better if I can get rid of dragons like your father.

FLARE: [shaking her head] You can’t make me.

ABSTRACT: Game’s over. I’ll have to do it with my own talons then. [grabs Flare’s head with her right talon and puts her to sleep. Flare’s head droops down, and Abstract walks away]

[scene cuts to Moon laying on the ground. There’s a streak of sunlight shining on her eyes. Moon moans and slowly wakes up, seeing Inferno sitting and looking at the sunrise. Moon stands up and approach towards him]

MOON: Inferno?

INFERNO: [turning around] Hey, Moon. You slept well? [Moon sits next to him]

MOON: [nods] Yeah, it-it was nice. Did you sleep at all?

INFERNO: No. Luckily, no one attacked us. I figured you’re stressing about Flare being taken away, so I just let you sleep.

MOON: [sighs] Thanks. [leans on Inferno’s shoulder as the two dragons stare at the sun] We should do this again when we get her back.

INFERNO: What, flying across continents?

MOON: No… [chuckles] watching the sun rise.

[the two dragons continue sitting there and looking at the sun. Scene cuts to them flying across the continent again. Eventually arriving at a rainforest. There is a village in the rainforest, with dragons inhabiting it. The dragons all turn to look at Inferno and Moon as they approach closer]

RAIN: [approaching Inferno and Moon] Hello, can I help you two?

MOON: Our daughter was recently taken from us. We’re wondering if you can help us.

RAIN: Yeah. Tell me the place.

MOON: She’s, uh, she’s in a dark room. There is also a long hallway, and the dragon who took her can creates shadow creatures from her talons. Do you have any idea who it can be?

RAIN: Well, I’ve never heard of a dragon who can do that. And the description you gave me of the place is too vague, I need more details.

MOON: That’s all we have.

RAIN: Why don’t we just get you two settled, and then we can continue locating your daughter?

[Rain leads Inferno and Moon into the village. Scene cuts to Inferno and Moon sitting on some chairs in a wooden hut by themselves. Moon is forming a green dagger in her talon, switching it to many different forms, such as knife, blade, karambit]

INFERNO: Do you trust them?

MOON: What?

INFERNO: Them. Those dragons outside. Do you think they’ll help us?

MOON: [stop using her power, and the green dagger disappears] We’ll just have to find out. [Moon’s eyes begin flickering]

INFERNO: Moon, what’s happening?

MOON: I don’t know. [her eyes go full black and she begins hovering in the air]

[suddenly, Rain arrives at the hut with two cups of tea. Upon seeing Moon hovering in the air with her eyes all black, Rain drops the cups]

RAIN: Holy shit.

[scene cuts to Moon standing across Flare, who’s crying silently as Moon approach her]

MOON: Flare?

FLARE: Mom? [runs toward Moon and embraces her while tears run down her eyes] I miss you, I’m scared. The dragon… she’s gonna kill me.

MOON: She won’t, okay, baby? She won’t hurt you, I know it. Just hang on until your dad and I come to help you.

FLARE: The dragon… she wants to kill him. She wants to kill Inferno. She wants my powers so she can use it to kill him.

MOON: What?

FLARE: She’s trying to find a way to take my powers right now. Daddy’s in danger, you have to help him. The mon-the monster, [her voice begins cutting off] they… they’re com- [disappears into dust]

[Moon wakes up and drops onto the ground. Inferno helps her stand up as Rain arrives. Moon turns to look at Inferno. Scene cuts to the outside, where Moon is explaining to Inferno what happened]

INFERNO: So, she’s trying to take our daughter’s powers to kill me?

MOON: Right…

INFERNO: Did you find out where she is? Did she give you any hints?

MOON: [shaking her head] No.

INFERNO: Shit. What about the shadow monsters, she can create them out of her tal-

[a shadow creature in the form of a rhino suddenly arrives out of nowhere and hits Inferno into one of the hut, destroying it]

MOON: Inferno!

[the shadow rhino turns to look at Moon, slowly approaching her as Moon walks backward. Out of nowhere, a poison dart was shot at the shadow rhino, which did nothing. The rhino roars and charges toward a hut, destroying it and knocking a few dragons away]

[Inferno emerges from the destroyed hut and rushes over to the rhino, where he begins burning it with his fire. Moon arrives beside him and stabs the rhino with the spear she made]

RAIN: Everybody get away.

[Inferno continues burning the rhino when he is suddenly attacked from above by a shadow hawk. It scratches Inferno in the chest with its talons, causing a bleeding mark. Inferno winces in pain as the hawk drags him across the ground until he blasts it away with his fireball]

[the rhino kicks Moon away with its legs, and Moon hits the tree hard, knocking out. Inferno slowly stood up as a shadow wolf placed its paw on his head, pinning him down. Inferno groans as he struggles to stand up. Suddenly, the wolf is stabbed in the side by a spear. Inferno looks over and see Rain holding the spear]

RAIN: You okay?

[the hawk suddenly grabs Rain from above and throws him against a hut, destroying it. Inferno rushes over to the rhino and summons a blade in his talon, stabbing it. The rhino drops onto the ground and fades away]

[the hawk swoops across Inferno’s head, barely missing up. Inferno breathes a large fire from his snout, trying to hit the hawk in the air. The wolf tackles Inferno from behind him, knocking him onto the ground. The wolf bites Inferno’s leg, causing blood to drizzle out]

[Inferno groans in pain and lights his talons on fire, grabbing the wolf’s neck and burning it to death. Inferno painfully stand up as blood drizzles from his leg, he looks forward and see the shadow hawk sitting on a tree branch, staring back at him]

[the hawk screeches and flies towards Inferno, but it is suddenly killed by an arrow. Inferno turns to look at where the arrow came from, seeing Moon holding her green bow she summoned]

MOON: Three moons, [drops her bow onto the ground and it fades away] Inferno, are you okay?

INFERNO: [limping over to Moon] The damn wolf bit me.

[Moon looks at Inferno’s leg, and she sees a bleeding bite mark, and the veins around the mark are purple. Inferno collapses onto Moon’s talons, and she slowly lowers him onto the ground. Inferno begins breathing faster than before, and the noises around him begin to muffle as he fall unconscious]

MOON: [muffle] Inferno. Inferno. [shaking Inferno’s body]

[Inferno slowly wakes up on a bed. He blinks and looks around, seeing that he’s currently inside a hut. Inferno reach for an item on the table beside him, but he accidentally knocks it down, catching Moon’s attention, who’s sitting on a chair and reading a scroll]

MOON: Inferno? How are you feeling right now?

INFERNO: [groans and wincing when he puts pressure onto his leg] Like someone is ripping me apart from the inside. [chuckle] What did they do to my leg?

MOON: They found poison in the bite mark, so they had to extract it out. Rain says your leg will heal, but it’ll be a while before it fully recovers.

[there was a sudden pause in the hut, creating an awkward silence. Inferno suddenly laughs quietly]

INFERNO: I remembered a situation like this. [looking at Moon] Jade Mountain Academy, seven years ago.

MOON: Yeah. [nods]

[the two dragons just look at each other, remembering about the beautiful memories that they’ve had with each other over the past seven years. Moon approach towards Inferno and sit down next to him, leaning against his shoulder]

MOON: Those were great times. When everything was fine, nothing out of control, a time where you and I can just be… ourselves. [pauses and remembers the terrible things they’ve went through]

INFERNO: Where’s Rain?

MOON: Somewhere outside, probably talking with someone else at the moment.

INFERNO: Okay. [slowly stands up, wincing in pain as he applies pressure on the leg. Moon tries to help him] No, no, no, I got this.

[scene cuts to the two dragons arriving outside, meeting up with Rain. Inferno slowly catches up from behind, limping toward Moon, who arrived before him. Rain looks at the bandage around Inferno’s injury]

RAIN: You think you’re gonna be okay?

INFERNO: Yeah, I’m fine.

RAIN: Good. [turning over to Moon] So, uh, we took a sample of those shadow creatures that attacked us earlier, and I believe we might’ve found where it comes from.

MOON: What?

[cuts to the Inferno, Moon, and Rain arriving at a lab in the village. On the table is the sample of the shadow creature, which is being connected onto a vine. Pulses travel from the sample onto the vine, sending information to the dragons]

MOON: What is this?

RAIN: The vine is figuring the origin of the sample. And if we can figure out the origin…

MOON: Then we’ll know who took Flare.

RAIN: Right.

[the vine eventually detaches itself from the sample. Suddenly, a magic hologram appears in front of the three dragons, revealing a profile of the dragon who took Flare]

INFERNO: Abstract?

RAIN: Mhm.

INFERNO: That’s the dragon who wanted to kill me?

RAIN: She’s trying to get your daughter’s powers. She knew how much more powerful Flare is than you.

INFERNO: [turning to look at Moon] Then we’ll have to stop her before she gets Flare’s power. [to Rain] Do you know where she is?

RAIN: Symra, we believe your daughter is being held inside a mountain right now. It’s a couple thousand miles north from here. Fastest time you two can get there is three days and a half, but it depends on what you do between the flights.

INFERNO: Then we’ll go now, make it there by night time. We’ll infiltrate the mountain, get her out of there before they notice.

RAIN: Except it won’t be as easy as you thought. Abstract knows that you two will do whatever it takes to get Flare back, so she’s putting all of her dragons on duty. There are eighty seven dragons spreading across the entire mountain from ground level to its peak, there may be more of them in the mountain we haven’t known about. Your chance of success is lower than one percent.

MOON: We’ve done things with worse odds. [to Inferno] Let’s go.

[Inferno and Moon lifts into the air, flying away from the village. Rain watches as the two dragons fly further and further away, until he can’t see them anymore]

RAIN: Good luck.

[SCREEN TITLE: 7 HOURS AGO]

[scene cuts to Abstract sitting on her throne, facing a large and long hallway. One of her dragons arrive toward her and kneel]

ABSTRACT: [referring about her shadow creature] Where are they?

ABSTRACT DRAGON #1: We’ve gotten news that they were supposedly killed while fighting against the FlameWing and NightWing. However, one of them was able to weaken the FlameWing.

ABSTRACT: Is that so? Good. Prepare them all. Watch the FlameWing, don’t let her escape. While you’re at it, [referring to Inferno and Moon] I’ll prepare a welcoming arrival for them.

[scene cuts to Flare waking up on her chair. She groans and lifts her head tiredly, drools coming out of her mouth. She blinks for a few seconds, when she suddenly hears noises coming from the door. The door opens, and Abstract walks in]

ABSTRACT: We have a surprise for you today. [lifts Flare’s head as she groans] Your parents are coming, and I’m preparing something extraordinary for them.

FLARE: [weakly] No…

ABSTRACT: [releasing Flare’s head and it droops down] Don’t worry, FlameWing, you won’t be there to see it.

[Abstract walks away, closing the door behind her, leaving Flare to be alone in the room. Scene cuts back to Inferno and Moon the next day as they continue flying. Inferno is looking in the distance, thinking about something when Moon notices him]

MOON: You okay?

INFERNO: What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m fine, why wouldn’t I be?

MOON: Inferno, you don’t have to hide anything from me, you know that? Besides, I can read your mind, so I know that there’s something wrong. You can talk to me about it.

INFERNO: [think for a moment] It’s just… I’m back to having dragons wanting to kill me.

MOON: [nods] It can be annoying sometimes.

INFERNO: But there’s nothing I have to worry about. I had many dragons wanting to kill me in the past, and every single one of them never succeeded. Abstract is just another one of those dragons.

MOON: What if she’s not?

INFERNO: Hmm. Then we’ll see if fate really wants me to live. I’ve infiltrated the Night Kingdom when I was two, this won’t stop me. If she wants to stand between me and Flare… I’ll kill her too.

[Moon looks at Inferno worriedly as he is filled with anger. Moon turns to look away. The two dragons land at another town]

MOON: Okay, one hour rest and we’ll get on our way.

INFERNO: Alright.

[Inferno and Moon walk around the town, looking at the dragons selling different items on the street. Many dragons notice them as they continue exploring the town. The two dragons head into an alley, arriving in another street]

INFERNO: [noticing a group of dragons in armor talking with each other, and he heads back inside the alley] Shit. Moon, Moon.

MOON: What is it?

INFERNO: [peeking his head out of the alley, and Moon does the same. They look at the dragons] You’ve seen dragons like this before?

MOON: They’re similar to the one I saw while I talked with Flare.

INFERNO: So they gotta be Abstract’s dragons, right?

MOON: I think so.

INFERNO: [heading back into the alley, leading Moon with him] Okay, so we must be close to Symra. Do you think there are more of them in the town?

MOON: Should we try to fly away?

INFERNO: If we lift into the air, they’ll see us and it’ll blow our stealth mission. Maybe if we can-

[Moon notices one of the armored dragons standing behind Inferno, throwing his knife at him. Moon pushes Inferno out of the way and summons a shield in front of her to block the knife. Moon suddenly notice an explosive attached to the knife, which detonate and knocks both her and Inferno onto the ground]

[Inferno gets up from the ground and helps the Moon stand up. The two dragons run to the entrance of the alley they came in from, and they immediately see more armored dragons approaching them with spears]

[Inferno’s eyes glow orange and fireballs begin forming in his talons, and he fires them at the armored dragons. Suddenly, a shadow wall rises from the ground to block Inferno’s fireballs]

MOON: [seeing more armored dragons approaching them from behind] Inferno, we gotta go. There’s more of them.

[the two dragons are surrounded from all sides, and they lift into the air. Inferno and Moon try to fly away, but one of the armored dragons shoots them out of the air with an arrow. The arrow slices across Inferno’s arm, and he begins falling onto the ground. Moon flies after him, grabbing him as the two dragons fall into a market. Dragons scream as the two impact the ground, slowly standing up. Inferno clutches his arm in pain as the armored dragons arrive to surround them]

[Inferno fires a fireball at the ground, creating an explosion and smokes to blind the armor dragons. Inferno grabs Moon talon and leads her into a building, and he locks the door]

MOON: There’s too many of them.

INFERNO: [groans in pain as blood trickles down the cut on his arm] Three moons. [slowly walks over to a wall where he collapses onto the ground, leaning against the wall and wincing in pain] Moon…

MOON: Inferno, what happened?

[Inferno reveals the cut to Moon, and she gasps in horror. Blood trickles out of the cut quickly, and Moon places her talons on it to try to cover it up and apply pressure. Inferno winces in pain as the armor dragons begin to knock on the door of the building]

INFERNO: Moon, you gotta get out of here.

MOON: I can’t just leave you here for them to take you.

INFERNO: If you stay, they’ll take both of us, and we won’t be able to get Flare back. Go. At least there’s a chance we can save her if you get out of here now.

MOON: No, don’t.

INFERNO: Moon…

[suddenly, a black explosive punctured through the wall of the building, bouncing against the wall Inferno is leaning on and dropping onto the ground. Hissing noises can be heard as Inferno and Moon stare at the explosive in horror. The explosive detonate, creating an explosion that destroys the entire building]

[scene cuts to the outside as the armored dragons watch. Suddenly, Abstract arrives at the site, looking at the destroyed building on fire, and she smiles]

ABSTRACT: Goodbye, FlameWing. [scoffs]

[Abstract flaps her wings and lifts into the air as every armored dragon follows after her. They fly away from the town. Town dragons begin to arrive at the destroyed building, and they clear out the fire. The dragons head into the building, seeing a red dragon using its wings to cover something from the explosion]

[as the dragons approach closer, they notice Inferno using his wings to protect Moon from the fire. Inferno opens his wings and Moon emerges, and the two dragons turn to look at the town dragons]

TOWN DRAGON #1: H-how did you… survive that?

[scene cuts to Symra. Abstract is walking down the hall toward the room where Flare is being held. Abstract opens the door, and she sees Flare still tied up against the chair. Abstract approach Flare and kneel down, giving her a smirk smile]

FLARE: What?

ABSTRACT: The party for your parents is canceled. [pause for a moment] They’re dead, Flare.

FLARE: [realizes what Abstract just said] What? [tears running down her eyes] No… it can't be. You’re lying, you’re lying!

ABSTRACT: I wish I was, FlameWing. [stands up and walks around the room] It would’ve been such a great moment where I can burn your father with your powers, but I guess it’s already been done. He’s dead, my goal is done, but that doesn’t mean I’m over with you yet.

FLARE: [tears still running down her eyes] No…

[scene cuts to Inferno and Moon in a room together at another building in the town. Moon is stitching the cut on Inferno’s arm. Inferno hold his forehead and groans in pain as Moon continues stitching his cut]

INFERNO: [winces] Ow, Moon.

MOON: Sorry, I’m almost done. Just take a deep breath.

[Inferno takes a deep breath and looks outside the building. He remembers about Flare and groans]

INFERNO: Ow…

MOON: Almost… and there.

[Inferno turns his arm and look at the stitches]

INFERNO: Thanks, honey.

MOON: [smiles] Yeah, you're welcome.

[scene cuts to the two dragons walking down the street. Inferno is limping beside Moon, squinting his eyes as he adjusts to the sunlight. They approach a dragon in the distance, who is leaning against the side of a building with a scroll in his talons]

MOON: Uh, hey, you have the map for me, yeah?

STAM: Mhm. [hand Moon the scroll he was looking at] This is the entire structure of Symra, fifteen levels, hundreds of dragons in the mountain. [point at the room he sketched out on the scroll] That’s the chamber they’re holding your daughter in.

INFERNO: How are we gonna get there?

STAM: Only entrance is at the bottom of the mountain. But there are too many dragons guarding that place. To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend infiltrating a mountain full of dragons who would want to kill you.

INFERNO: I’ve infiltrated a volcano and killed hundreds of guards when I was one. Besides, they think we’re dead, so they wouldn’t expect us. We enter without any of them noticing, free Flare, and get out lickety-split. We’ll be gone before any of them know.

STAM: “Without any of them noticing” is the problem here. The guards might not know you’re there, but Abstract’s shadows will. Whatever they see, she sees, and then the entire mountain will be on lockdown.

MOON: It won’t happen. They’ll have to see us to know we’re there.

[Moon turns to look at Inferno, and the two dragons have the exact same idea. Scene cuts to them flying across the continent, continuing their way to Symra. The two dragons eventually land in a rainforest. Cuts to a moment later, Inferno and Moon walk deeper into the rainforest, looking around]

[a bird suddenly flew from a tree, causing the leaves to rustle, startling Moon]

INFERNO: [teasingly] It’s just a bird, you don’t have to be scared.

MOON: I’m not scared. [turns to look at Inferno and smiles] You’re the one who’s afraid of bugs.

INFERNO: Okay, first off, they look weird as hell, like why do they need a bunch of limbs for, and second, they are annoying.

MOON: [chuckles] I love these stupid talks of ours.

[the two dragons heard noises coming from a distance, and they both turned toward where the noise came from. Inferno slowly approaches the noise while Moon follows him from behind. The noise grew louder as they walked closer. Inferno and Moon eventually reach the source of the noise, finding out that it’s a rabbit trapped in a long vine]

MOON: Vine?

INFERNO: [freeing the rabbit and it runs away. He picks the vine up from the ground and shows it to Moon] This isn’t Sundew’s.

MOON: Not any LeafWings or TreeWings, too.

INFERNO: [drop the vine onto the ground and continue walking forward] That’s weird. Do you think Sundew came here before?

[Inferno gets no answer, and he turns around]

INFERNO: Moon? Moon? [seeing Moon laying on the ground, unconscious. He rushes over to her and shakes her body] Moon, Moon, wake up. Moon. [continues shaking her body]

[Inferno suddenly hears rustling noises close to him. He stops shaking Moon and slowly stands up, lighting his talons on fire in the process. He holds his talons out and look around to see if there’s anyone there]

INFERNO: Whoever you are, you better show yourself right now or I’ll burn this entire rainforest to ashes. [his eyes begin glowing orange and the fire on his talons grows stronger] I’ve done this before, don’t think I won’t do this again.

[the rustling noise suddenly stops, leaving Inferno confused. His eyes slowly fade back to normal, and the fire on his talons goes out. The rustling noise begins again, but this time louder. Suddenly, there are multiple rustling noises surrounding Inferno, who looks around him in confusion]

[suddenly, a dart is fired at Inferno from one of the bushes, hitting him in the neck and knocking him out. Dragons begin emerging from the bushes and grab Inferno and Moon, dragging them somewhere else]

[scene cuts to Inferno slowly waking up, tied against the wooden pole. He blinks multiple times as he adjusts his eyes to the sunlight, and he looks at his surroundings, a village with many green and yellow dragons. Moon is next to him, who is also tied up against the pole]

[there are many green dragons surrounding the two dragons, and many more arrive at the area]

KERRA: [to Inferno and Moon as they regain their consciousness] I’ve never seen dragons like you two before. [to a dragon next to her] Where’d you get these two?

VINE: Found them wandering around the rainforest like idiots.

KERRA: You sure they weren’t just visitors?

VINE: I’m pretty sure they’re not. They’re probably just “Redug”.

MOON: A what?

KERRA: I need to examine these two dragons. [walks toward Inferno and Moon, and she begins examining both dragons] Doesn’t seem like any dragons we’ve encountered before.

[Kerra touches Moon’s horn, and she approaches Inferno. She try to grabs his talon, but he lights it on fire, causing Kerra to flinch backward]

KERRA: Whoa, okay, what is that?

INFERNO: Don’t touch me.

KERRA: [to Vine] This one seems like a fighter.

INFERNO: [sighs in exasperation and looking away] Oh, god, no, not this shit again.

VINE: [approaching Inferno and Moon] Okay, I’m gonna go through this very quickly so I don’t waste any time, who are you two?

MOON: It’s none of your problem.

VINE: Look, whoever you are, you can tell who you are and where you come from or we can do this another way. You won’t like the second option.

KERRA: Both of them seem like fighters.

MOON: [giving in] We’re the Winglets. Our daughter was recently taken away from us by some sort of shadow. We’re trying to get her back.

KERRA: Wait, what, shadow? You mean like shadow creatures?

MOON: Yes, exactly.

INFERNO: You know who Abstract is?

VINE: We know exactly who you’re talking about. [to Inferno] Why did Abstract take your daughter?

INFERNO: She believes my daughter has the power to destroy… me.

KERRA: Three moons.

MOON: What? Why?

[scene cuts to Inferno and Moon in a large hut with Vine and Kerra. There are multiple guards surrounding the hut as they haven’t trusted Inferno and Moon yet. Kerra walks over to a shelf and grabs a scroll from it, handing it to Moon]

KERRA: Three months ago, my daughter, Hime, was taken from me as well. Now, my daughter is unlike the rest of her tribe. Her powers are unpredictable, while we can control whatever happens.

MOON: What powers are you talking about here?

[the tattoo on Kerra’s arm begins lighting up in a shade of green. An orb forms in Kerra’s talon, preparing to explode, but Kerra destroys it by closing her talon before it detonates]

KERRA: What makes my daughter’s powers so dangerous is that since they are so unpredictable, there are no limits to what her powers can do. We’ve measured her scales, and the energy in her is enough to bring down an entire mountain.

VINE: [to Inferno and Moon] Your daughter isn’t the only dragon Abstract took. There are a lot more dragons with her right now, she’s hoping to take all their powers until she can have enough to kill him. [points at Inferno]

KERRA: We’ve been searching for her ever since the day she went missing. We currently have no idea of her location. If we can find out where she is, there’s a good chance we can find your daughter, too.

MOON: That’s not a problem for us, we know where they are.

KERRA: What?

MOON: I can speak to her through my mind. We have this connection through our mind that allows us to connect with each other, regardless of where they are.

INFERNO: We found out she is currently held in a chamber in a mountain named Symra. Guarded by at least a hundred dragons at the moment.

KERRA: [to Vine] Then we better get her now.

[scene cuts to Inferno, Moon, Vine, and Kerra walking around the village, discussing about a plan to Flare and Hyme from Symra]

MOON: [explaining to Vine and Kerra about everything she knows] Okay, so we have some sort of experience… in the battlefield against Abstract.

KERRA: Like what kind of experience?

INFERNO: Moon and I fought against one of her shadows back in Atlas.

VINE: [seeing Inferno’s injuries] I can tell it didn’t go well for you. [to Moon] What else? You got anything about the mountain?

MOON: Stam told us-

KERRA: You know Stam?

MOON: Yeah, well, we’ve only met him when we were in the town.

INFERNO: [to Kerra] You know him, too?

KERRA: Him, Vine, and I used to be in this small group with seven other dragons. It’s kinda like the Winglets that you guys have, except we don’t operate at the same place. We spread ourselves across the continent, putting an end to dragons doing things they shouldn’t be.

MOON: He was the one who told us where Symra is.

VINE: [cutting in] I know the best way to get there. It’ll only take a day and you should get there next morning.

INFERNO: What do you mean “you”?

KERRA: I know how situations are already bad for the both of you, but I need you to help me with a favor.

MOON: What?

KERRA: Can you help me get my daughter back? I’m sorry that I’m dumping my problem on you, but… if I leave this village unprotected and unsupervised to go save my daughter, I’m risking my own village with dangers. Please.

[Moon turns to look at Inferno, who’s also looking at her. They both have the same idea in mind, and Moon turns to look at Kerra]

MOON: Alright. Fine.

KERRA: [smiles with joy] Thank you.

[scene cuts to later that night, Inferno and Moon are sitting on their own beds in a hut. Inferno is fidgeting with a cube, while Moon is leaning against the wall, thinking about something. Inferno turns over to look at her and notices]

INFERNO: Moon, you’re okay?

MOON: It’s coming back.

INFERNO: What?

MOON: [getting slight flashbacks of the World Core] The memories. Storm and the World Core. [turning to look at Inferno] I’m not feeling so well.

INFERNO: [gets up from his bed and approaches Moon, sitting down next to her] You’ll be fine. [hold Moon’s talons in his] Things like this happened to me a lot when I was young. Try to clear your mind from it, forget about everything.

[Moon sits there for a moment, and then nods. She looks at Inferno and smiles, and the two share a kiss. Suddenly, there are noises coming from the outside, and Kerra walks in, seeing Inferno and Moon sitting on the bed together. They stare back at Kerra]

MOON: What are you doing here?

KERRA: Checking on you two. We also got a couple new info about Symra. [holding the scroll forward and Moon approaches to take it] Security are lower than ever before, I don’t know-

INFERNO: Because they think we’re dead. [approaching Moon] If we go tomorrow, it’ll be our best chance to get both of them back.

[Inferno and Moon share a look with each other. Scene cuts to the next morning, where the two dragons fly across the sky, heading toward Symra. Moon is looking at the map that Stam gave her, while Inferno is looking at their surroundings to make sure nobody is following after them]

MOON: We’re close. Inferno, get ready to descend.

INFERNO: Okay.

[the two dragons continue flying, eventually reaching Symra. Inferno and Moon land in the distance of a mountain, where Moon takes her binocular to look at the bottom of the mountain]

MOON: … six, seven. Seven dragons guarding the base of the mountain right now. [tucks her binocular in the bag] That’s just enough for us to take them on.

INFERNO: Yeah, about that… [pointing at a group of four dragons landing at the bottom of the mountain] More of them just arrived. That makes eleven of them now. [hold his talon out, and Moon grabs the binocular and places it in his talon] Thank you.

[Inferno uses the binocular to look at the dragons, they’re having a conversation with each other]

INFERNO: Six of them are carrying weapons. [gives the binocular back to Moon] Come on, let’s go.

[Inferno and Moon slowly sneaks behind the rock, hiding. Inferno peeks over to look at the dragons, who are now patrolling and watching the bottom of the mountain. Inferno turns to look at Moon]

INFERNO: Okay, we’re ready? [hold up a few sleeping darts in his talons, and Moon does the same]

[scene cuts to the dragons, walking around the mountain]

ABSTRACT’S GUARD #1: Hey, have you heard about the Okari’s festival?

ABSTRACT’S GUARD #2: What is that?

[suddenly, the two guards hear rustling noises coming from a nearby bush. One of the guards signals the other to go check it out. As the guard approaches closer to the bush, he is shot in the neck in the sleeping dart]

ABSTRACT’S GUARD #1: What the- [he is shot in the neck with another sleeping dart]

[Inferno sneaks and hides behind a tree, reloading the sleeping dart into his blowgun. Inferno peeks around the tree and hits another guard with the sleeping dart. Moon rushes behind a guard and stabs him in the neck with her dart]

[Inferno and Moon continue picking off the guards one by one with their sleeping dart, until all the guards are put to sleep, laying on the ground. Inferno picks up one of the guard’s spears, and he throws it to Moon, and she catches it. Inferno grabs another spear, and the two dragons slowly enter the mountain]

[there are many torches hanging on the wall as Inferno and Moon walk deeper into the mountain. The two dragons hide behind the hall as guards walk past them. They eventually reach a stair, where they heads upstair]

MOON: Should we split up?

INFERNO: [nods] Yeah.

[cuts to outside, where Abstract returns to the mountain, seeing many of her guards laying on the ground with sleeping darts stuck in their necks. Another guard approaches her from behind]

ABSTRACT: [to the guard] Suppress the mountain.

[inside, Inferno and Moon suddenly sees dark smoke heading towards them as they prepare to split up. The dark smoke passes them, Inferno and Moon look at each other in confusion]

[they begin heading their own way. Inferno tried to light his talon on fire, but he couldn’t. He looks at his talon, shaking it and trying to light it up again, but there’s still no fire]

INFERNO: Damn it. [looks forward and continues heading down the hall]

[scene cuts to Moon, who’s walking around the mountain until she reaches a door to a dark room. She opens the door slowly, peeking her head through to make sure no one is in there. She grabs one of the torches hanging on the wall and uses it to light up the room for her to see]

[Moon notices a scroll laying flat on the table, and she approaches it. She holds the torch in front of her so she can see the scroll. Moon gasps in horror as she realizes the scroll is a plan to extract Flare’s powers and using it to kill Inferno]

MOON: Three moons. [takes the scroll, rolls it up, and puts it inside her bag. She heads out the room and walks down the hall with her spear in one talon and the torch in another]

[Moon senses unease about the place, but she shakes her head to ignore it. She continues heading down the dark hall, not knowing Abstract has been behind her the entire time. Abstract opens her talon, and a small shadow monster screeches silently as it emerges from her talon]

[scene cuts back to Inferno, who notices a door to his right. He tries to open it, but it’s locked. Inferno places his spear against the wall, and he begins knocking down the wall with his arm. Inferno eventually did, and he accidentally hits the door to hard that it collapse and he stumbles into the room]

INFERNO: What the hell?

[suddenly, a dark shadow covers up the door, and Inferno turns around, seeing it closing the exit. Inferno try to runs toward the door to escape, but the shadow closes it and Inferno just runs against a wall]

[Inferno breathes slowly, hearing his own breath due to the silence. He groans and hears noises coming behind him. Inferno turns around, looking at the direction of the noises, but all he can see is a continuous dark void. Inferno begins approaching the noises, walking as silently as possible. He try to light his talon on fire again, but it still doesn’t work]

[he eventually sees a dragon kneeling in the distance, sobering. Inferno slowly approaches the dragon from behind, but the dragon didn’t turn around to notice him. As he gets closer, he realizes the dragon kneeling on the ground is himself]

INFERNO: [muttering to himself] What?

[his other self continues to cry as Inferno walks past him and looks in front of him. There is a gravestone, and Inferno approaches closer to it to take a look, and Inferno looks at it in horror after a short moment]

[imprinted on the gravestone is Moon’s name, along with the date of her death. Inferno looks closer at the date, realizing that it’s the same date as the battle against Storm]

[Inferno suddenly hears screeching noise coming from behind him, and he turns around, seeing his other self slowly transforming into multiple shadow tentacles. The tentacles grab both of Inferno’s arms and legs, dragging him to the ground. Inferno try to fight back, but the tentacles eventually drags him onto the ground, and he screams]

[scene cuts back to Moon, who’s still walking around the mountain. Moon notices a large door ahead of her, and she rushes toward it. She opens the door, seeing Flare tied against a chair. Moon looks at her in joy and approaches to hug Flare]

MOON: Oh, baby, I miss you so much. [embrace with Flare and she hugs her back]

FLARE: I thought you were dead. [voice breaking as tears run down her eyes] She told me you and dad were dead.

MOON: We’re here now. And we’re gonna get you out of here, okay?

FLARE: Okay…

[Moon unties Flare from her chair, and she grabs Flare’s talon and begins leading her out of the room. Suddenly, Flare releases her talon from Moon’s, and she just stands there while looking at her own mother]

MOON: Flare?

FLARE: I can’t go, Inferno, he… he [voice begins to distort] He’s gone, Moon.

[Flare begins to transform into a shadow, and it leaps on Moon, tackling her onto the ground. The shadow screeches and enters Moon’s body. Moon falls unconscious, and she wakes up in a dark void, laying on a puddle of water. She groans and slowly stands up, looking around to see nothing. A humming noise is heard in the distance, and Moon suddenly hears Inferno’s voice]

MOON: [running towards Inferno’s voice] Inferno! Inferno!

[upon getting closer, Moon comes to a stop once she sees herself leaning against Inferno. She looks at Inferno, who’s entire right side is burned. Moon sees herself crying and leaning against Inferno, kissing him. Suddenly, her other self and Inferno disintegrate into dust, flying away, leaving Moon to stand there by herself]

[out of nowhere, Moon hears Inferno’s muffled voice]

INFERNO: Help. Moon, where are you?

MOON: [shouting as loud as she can] Inferno, I’m right here. Inferno.

[Moon turns around, and she sees a gravestone. She kneel down and take a look at it, gasping in horror. Imprinted on the gravestone is Inferno’s name with the date of the battle against Storm]

[suddenly, Inferno’s decaying body emerges from the ground and scares Moon. The body continues crawling after her as she runs away, but Moon is eventually dragged onto the ground by a tentacle. The tentacle pins Moon on the ground as the body crawls closer to her. Moon suddenly wakes up in a large circular room. Across from her is Inferno, who’s laying on the ground, unconscious]

ABSTRACT: I’ve seen both of your darkest fears. Both you and him have similar fear… losing the other. Quite remarkable, I have to say.

[guards begin to surround the room as Moon looks around. Behind one of the guards is Flare, who’s talons and snout is chained to prevent her from attacking them. Moon looks at her hopelessly as the guards drag her and Inferno away. Abstract gives Moon a smirk smile before she turns around and walks away with Flare]

[scene cuts to Inferno and Moon being locked in a room together. Moon knocks on the door hardly multiple times, trying to escape. She turns around and sees Inferno still laying on the ground. Moon sighs and walks next to Inferno, where she sits down]

MOON: What did they make you see?

[there was no answer, and Moon sighs again. She looks at the door, thinking about Flare. Cuts to nighttime, where Inferno and Moon are still in the same room together. Inferno has finally wakes up, and he walks around while explaining to Moon what he saw]

INFERNO: … and then the tentacles just came out of nowhere and grabbed me. Next thing I know, I just woke up in this room, like, where are we? What happened?

MOON: Those things that we saw are just an illusion made by Abstract. [looking on the ground] She knew we were here.

INFERNO: Where’s Flare?

MOON: Abstract took her somewhere. I don’t know what they’re doing to her, and I don’t even want to think about it. [sniffles]

[Inferno knocks on the door as hard as he can in anger. He turns around and look at Moon, who’s sitting on the ground. Inferno approaches her and sits next to her, where she leans against his shoulder]

[scene cuts to the next morning. Inferno and Moon are still sleeping, and Moon is laying her head on Inferno’s tail. The door to the room unlocked, and Abstract along with four of her guards enter the room]

ABSTRACT: Wake them up.

[one of the guards head over to Inferno and Moon and hit them in the snout with the handle of the spear, waking them up. Moon groans in pain as she slowly sits up, staring at Abstract angrily]

ABSTRACT: Good morning, FlameWing and NightWing. You two must’ve missed your daughter a lot, so I planned something very special for all three of you. You’ll get to see her again.

MOON: [in a sinister tone] What did you do to her?

ABSTRACT: Nothing at the moment. She’s a very stubborn dragonet, wondering who she learned that from. [pauses] But… the more she resists… well, she’ll learn.

INFERNO: [rushing toward Abstract in anger, but the guards stop him with their spears] You hurt her?

ABSTRACT: It wouldn’t have been necessary if she had just given me her powers. I guess stubbornness runs in your blood. [to the guards] Get them ready in ten minutes. They’re really excited for what’s happening today.

[Abstract leaves the room, but the four guards stay. They continue watching Inferno and Moon, who’s looking back at them]

[scene cuts to the guards leading Inferno and Moon across the mountain, until they reach another room. The guards unchain the chains on Inferno’s and Moon’s talons and snout. The guards leave the two dragons in the room, locking the door. Across the room is a gate, and Inferno approaches it and look outside, seeing an arena, cheering loudly]

INFERNO: Three moons.

MOON: What is it?

INFERNO: It’s an arena. They’re going to make us fight something.

[Inferno walks over to a wall and sits down, leaning against the wall and sighs. Moon walks over to the gate and looks outside, seeing more dragons begin to arrive at the spectating area]

ABSTRACT: [announcing to the spectators] Welcome, everyone. Wow, look at you all, I know you’re excited for what’s coming up.

[the door to the preparation room opens, and four guards walk in. They approaches Inferno and Moon, picking them up aggressively and pushing them towards the gate]

ABSTRACT: Yesterday, we received some unexpected guests here, trying to put my plan at jeopardy. But let’s not waste anymore time, please remember to honor those who died… very, very gruesomely for our entertainment.

MOON: [to Inferno as the two dragons are standing near the gate with the guards behind them] Dragons died here before?

ABSTRACT: For a very long time, I’ve been seeking unique dragons, dragons we’ve never seen before… to fight in this arena. And without further ado, let’s bring in the combatants.

[the gate opens, and the guards nudge Inferno and Moon into the arena. After the two dragons step foot into the arena, the guards head back to the gate and close it, preventing them from escaping]

ABSTRACT: From a faraway continent, the two members of the Winglets, let’s see what you think about them. Dragons… I give you… Inferno the FlameWing and Moon the NightWing.

MOON: [to Inferno] Has it always been like this to you?

INFERNO: Yeah, I guess.

ABSTRACT: Alright, here it is. The moment you’ve all been waiting for. Get ready for them. [louder] And now, for the FlameWing and NightWing’s opponents, here they come. Glor, Mantis, Baine, Vil, and Praeg.

[Inferno and Moon turn to look at the gate across the arena, seeing it open. Five dragons emerge from the door, three males and two females, all looking at Inferno and Moon. The dragons begin to surround Inferno and Moon, forcing them to the center of the arena]

[Moon looks at the spectator box where Abstract is watching from, and she sees Flare standing next to her with her snout and talons chained. Moon nudges Inferno’s side and he turns to look at where she’s looking. Moon reads Flare’s mind, finding out that she’s worrying for her parents]

MOON: [muttering softly] We’re gonna be fine, honey.

ABSTRACT: Combatants! Claws up, tails ready… fight.

[the five dragons begin to slowly approach Inferno and Moon as they continue to circle around them. Inferno and Moon turn away from each other, looking out for each other’s back]

[as the dragons get closer, Inferno charges at Praeg and attacks him. Moon rushes toward Mantis and hits her onto the ground with her tail. Inferno knocks Praeg onto the ground, attempting to hit him across the snout but Baine tackles Inferno away. Inferno and Baine stands up, facing each other before Inferno charges toward him and hits him multiple times in the snout]

[Moon grabs Glor and slams her head against the wall of the arena, but Glor spins around and punches Moon across the snout. Mantis arrives and tackles Moon against the wall. Glor tries to punch Moon in the snout, but she dodges and Glor hits the wall instead. Moon then rolls to the side and kicks Mantis away from her]

[across the arena, Inferno grabs Vil’s head and slams it against the wall. Praeg tries to attack Inferno from the back, but Inferno spins around and punches Praeg hard across the snout, causing blood to drop onto the ground. Vil suddenly arrives from the side and punches Inferno, then he grabs Inferno by the neck and slams him onto the ground. Vil punches Inferno in the snout again, causing blood to trickle out his nose. Inferno kicks Vil away and slowly stands up, wiping away the blood on his snout]

[Moon punches Glor across the snout and turns to look at Inferno across the arena, seeing him fighting against Baine and Praeg]

MOON: Inferno!

[Inferno punches both Baine and Praeg away, turning to look at Moon. Suddenly, Moon is stabbed in the leg with a dagger. She groans in pain and turns to look at the dagger, seeing Mantis holding it]

INFERNO: Moon!

[Moon tries to hit Mantis away from her, but Glor comes from her side, grabbing Moon’s neck and slamming her onto the ground. Glor then punches Moon hard across the snout multiple times, causing blood to slowly trickle out her nose and snout. Moon slowly turns her head to look at Inferno across the distance, seeing Inferno being outnumbered by Baine, Vil, and Praeg. Inferno tries to punch Vil in front of him, but he misses and Praeg knocks him onto the ground from the back. Praeg pins him down while brutally punching Inferno across the snout multiple times. After beating Inferno, the three dragons roll Inferno to his side as he lays there painfully. Inferno groans in pain and try to get up while spitting blood from his snout, but Vil kicks him onto the ground]

[Moon looks at Inferno while being pinned on the ground by Mantis and Glor, tears running from her eyes as she watches Inferno being beat up. Suddenly, Mantis grabs Moon’s neck and hold her up, pinning her against the wall]

MANTIS: You really thought it would be that easy, NightWing?

[Moon only gives off a groan in response as she continues looking at Inferno being punched across the arena. Mantis notices what Moon is looking at]

MANTIS: It’s a shame, Moon, but this is what you two deserved. [looking at Inferno being kicked onto the ground] This is what he deserved. I know itt hurts to see the dragons you loved in pain, while you can do nothing about it.

MOON: [weakly] Stop… please.

[Mantis throws Moon onto the ground, and Moon slowly tries to stand up. Glor arrives next to her and grabs her neck, pinning her onto the ground. She lifts Moon’s head so she can see Inferno laying on the ground in the distance with blood trickling off his snout and bruises all over his body. Vil and Baine grab Inferno by his horns and drag him over to Moon. They lifts Inferno’s head so he can sees Moon, and the two dragons look at each other in pain]

INFERNO: [groaning weakly as blood trickles off his snout] I’m sorry, Moon.

GLOR: It’s painful, isn’t it? But do you want to know what’s worse, NightWing? [pause for a moment, waiting for Moon to answer but she didn’t] It’s to watch the dragon you love loses. [to Baine and Vil] Show her.

[Baine kicks Inferno across the snout, and Inferno lays on the ground in pain. Moon tries to flail and escape from Glor’s grasp but she can't. Glor then pins Moon onto the ground and stops her from flailing. Moon turns her head to look at Inferno worriedly, seeing him being lifted onto his feet by Baine and Vil, while Praeg continuously beats him up. Praeg eventually knocks out Inferno, dropping him onto the ground]

[the crowd continues cheering and roaring as Inferno and Moon continue to be tortured]

SPECTATOR #1: Kill him.

SPECTATOR #2: Slit his throat!

SPECTATOR #3: I want the FlameWing dead.

[Inferno is kneeling on the ground, coughing out blood. Vil approaches in front of him and grabs Inferno’s snout, lifting his head up so he can see him. Inferno groans weakly and dazedly, blood trickles down his snout onto the ground]

VIL: You are more stubborn than I thought.

[Inferno’s only response is a weak wince. Vil lifts Inferno’s snout higher into the air, and he uppercuts him right in the jaw. Blood spew from Inferno’s mouth as he drops onto the ground]

MOON: Stop, please! No…

[up in the spectator box, the guards are trying to contain Flare as she’s flailing around to try and fly down onto the arena to help her parents. Abstract just stands there in the box, looking down onto the arena below with a smirk smile in her face. Moon sees Abstract smiling, and she turns to look at Inferno being beat up again]

[Baine grabs Inferno’s neck and pins him against the wall. Inferno grabs Baine’s wrist and try to escape, but he can't. Inferno weakly groans before Baine grabs his head and slams it against the wall]

MOON: [to Abstract] Stop! Stop, please! Let him go!

[Baine punches Inferno across the snout, and Inferno drops onto the ground, unconscious as blood drizzles out of his mouth. Moon watches Inferno laying on the ground in the distance, before she is dragged back to the gate. Moon watches Vil, Praeg, and Baine continue to torture Inferno as the gate closes]

[scene cuts to the guards bringing Moon back to the room she was in earlier. After they dropped her off, the guards locked the door and left the area. Moon slumps onto the ground in pain, looking at the stab wound on her leg]

MOON: Three moons.

[Moon slowly limps across the room and grabs one of the clothes in the bucket, tying it around her wound. Moon winces in pain as she makes contact with the injury, eventually able to ties it]

MOON: Shit…

[scene cuts to the outside of the room, where the guards are dragging the unconscious and injured Inferno back to the room. Upon opening the door to the room, the guards just throw Inferno onto the ground and closes the door]

MOON: [limping quickly over to Inferno] Inferno! [trying to feel him] Inferno, are you okay? What did they do to you? [shaking his body slowly]

[there was no response, and Moon sighs. She suddenly sees multiple wounds on Inferno’s body, and she begins dragging him across the room. Moon slowly pulls Inferno’s body until he’s in the center of the room, and she rushes over to the bucket of clothes and grabs everything. She rushes back to Inferno and place the clothes onto his wounds]

[Moon continues to cover Inferno’s wounds, until there are no more clothes. Moon went up and laid next to Inferno, waiting for him to wake up]

MOON: I’m sorry I couldn’t help you back there.

[Moon touches her head with his, embracing for a moment after everything they’ve gone through. Scene cuts to the nighttime, where Inferno slowly opens his eyes. He groans and slowly sits up, and Moon hears him while standing near the door. Moon quickly approaches Inferno and kneel down]

MOON: Inferno?

INFERNO: Moon? [he embraces Moon, and the two dragons hug each other for a moment as tears run down Moon’s eyes]

MOON: I’m sorry… Inferno.

INFERNO: It’s fine. It’s fine.

MOON: Are you feeling alright?

INFERNO: My head hurts. Everything just hurts. I feel nauseous. Everything I see right now is spinning a bit, and I’m craving some honey drops right now. But other than that… I feel pretty good.

MOON: Honey drops?

INFERNO: [groaning] Yeah, yeah… that would be amazing right now.

MOON: I’ll get you some honey drops soon, but we have to get out of here right now. Flare is still somewhere in this mountain… and the other dragon Kerra told us about.

INFERNO: Moon, hold on…

MOON: What?

[Inferno pauses for a moment before running over to the corner of the room, throwing up. Moon looks at the vomit in disgust and turns away]

MOON: Oh, that’s gonna be bad.

[scene cuts to the outside of the room moments later, when two guards walk past the door. Moon suddenly lets off a scream, and the guards heard it. They open the door, seeing only Moon. They rush toward the center of the room, looking around]

ABSTRACT’S GUARD #3: Where’s the FlameWing?

[suddenly, Inferno emerges from the corner of the room, and he snaps both of the guards’ necks. The guards collapse onto the ground, and Inferno picks up their spears and throws one of it for Moon. The two dragons walk out the door, looking both ways to make sure no one sees them]

INFERNO: Come on, this way.

[the two dragons sneak around the mountain, hiding behind corners as guards pass by. Inferno and Moon eventually walk past a room, and they turn back and look inside. At the center of the dark room is an orange glowing orb, pulsing and humming softly. The two dragons walk inside the room and approach the orb]

INFERNO: What is this?

MOON: [looking at the writing on the board] She did it. [turning around to look at Inferno] Abstract got her powers. We’re gonna have to get Flare out of here before she do anything else with her.

[Inferno holds his talon close to the orb, and the closer his talon is, the more it attracts the energy from the orb. The orb begins to pulse toward Inferno, suddenly burning his talon a little]

INFERNO: Ow…

MOON: I’m gonna try to look for Flare.

[Inferno slowly closes the door of the room, and Moon closes her eyes. She begins searching through her mind to find Flare]

INFERNO: I’ll tell you if anyone is coming.

[scene cuts to Moon waking up in the same room in her dream, except Inferno isn’t there. She approaches the closed down and opens it, looking down the hallway. The entire mountain is eerily quiet, and Moon can hear her own breathing. She begins walking down the hall, looking through corners to make sure there’s nothing there]

[scene cuts to four guards approaching the room Inferno and Moon were locked in earlier. They see the two other guards laying on the ground, dead. One of the guards kneel down to check their pulses, and he reaches up to his ear and tap on an earpiece]

ABSTRACT’S GUARD #4: [touching the earpiece] Abstract, the FlameWing and NightWing are loose. They are somewhere in the mountain right now.

[Inferno is walking around the room and looking at Moon, when he suddenly hears footsteps coming down the hall. Inferno picks up the spear and points it at the door, awaiting for any guards to come in. Moon begins groaning behind him as he continues to guard the door]

[scene cuts back to Moon arriving at the room that Flare is in. She opens the door slowly and walks inside, when suddenly, dark smoke surrounds the room. Upon entering the room, all the color surrounding her fades, and Moon’s scales slowly turn gray. Moon breathes slowly, and her breath echoes throughout the entire room. She looks forward and see Flare sitting on the chair, tied up with tentacles attached to her]

MOON: Flare, Flare, it’s mommy. I’m here to save you.

FLARE: [groaning weakly] Mom? Y-you have to get out of here quick. Abstract took my power, she’s coming for dad. You two gotta get out of here before she finds you.

ABSTRACT: [voice echoing around the room] Moon… you’re one quite remarkable dragon. [voice shifts to behind Moon] I know how much your daughter meant to you, but… once I’m done with her power and the FlameWing, you won’t have to see me ever again. This is not personal, Moon… I’m doing this for everyone else.

MOON: No…

[in the living world, Abstract is hovering in the air with her eyes closed. Once she opens her eyes, she sees where Inferno and Moon are in the mountain. A shadow creature emerges from Abstract’s talon and begins running toward the room Inferno and Moon are hiding in]

[Moon wakes up and drops onto the ground. Inferno quickly rush toward her quietly]

INFERNO: Moon, are you okay?

MOON: Yeah.

INFERNO: [referring about Flare] Did you find her?

MOON: I did. Abstract is coming, she knows where we are.

INFERNO: Shit. Uh… I have an idea.

[scene cuts to Moon running around the mountain in her mind. She continues looking around the mountain, searching for a certain thing. Moon eventually runs to the room where Flare is held, and she begins to look around it]

FLARE: [weakly] Mama, what are you doing here?

MOON: We may have figured out a way to get us all out of here. Come on, come on. [rush over to a drawer and opens it, seeing Inferno’s portal wristband and she sighs in relief]

FLARE: What did you find?

MOON: Your dad’s wristband. If we can somehow get it, we can get out of this mountain. The problem is, your dad and I are kinda trapped in a room right now and we need your help to get it.

[scene cuts to the living world, where Flare is still sitting in the chair. She’s alone in the room, but she can hear Moon’s voice next to her. Cuts back to the Moon’s mind, where she is guiding Flare towards the wristband]

[Flare tries to shuffle herself over to the drawer. Moon tries to help Flare, but she can’t, due to her not being physically there. Flare continues shuffling across the room, when Moon suddenly fade away]

FLARE: Mom?

[scene cuts to Moon waking up, seeing Inferno punching one of the guards in the snout. Inferno’s chest is bleeding as another guard comes from the back of him and hits him against the wall. Moon immediately rush over to the dragon and stabs him with the spear she picks up]

[Moon turns over to see Inferno leaning against the wall, holding his bleeding chest as he breathes quickly]

MOON: What happened?

INFERNO: You tell her? Did you found Kerra’s daughter?

MOON: Couldn’t locate her at all.

[Moon suddenly hears many footsteps approaching. Inferno slowly limps away from the door and stands next to Moon. The two dragons look as the door opens, revealing Abstract and many of her guards, all pointing their spears at them]

ABSTRACT: I gotta say… somehow escaping your room and ending up here mildly impressed me. But, [charging up her right arm with the fire power from Flare] having to continuously chase both of you down would be a pain.

ABSTRACT: So, let’s just end it here once and for all, no more games, it’s time for both of you to be gone.

[Abstract blasts a powerful fireball at Inferno and Moon, but a portal suddenly opens and covers them. Flare emerges from the portal, along with a green dragonet, and Abstract looks at them in surprise]

ABSTRACT: You.

[Abstract uses her power to blast at Flare, but she opens another portal in front of her. Flare turns around to look at Inferno and Moon, and she opens a portal for them to escape. After the two dragons went across the portal, Flare follows them and close it, leaving Abstract and her guards to be the only dragons there]

ABSTRACT: No, no, no. No! [turning to be guards angrily] Find them right now! Search the entire continent!

[the guards immediately rush out of the room and begin lifting away from the mountain. Scene cuts to a portal opening in the middle of a forest. The area is currently snowing, as Inferno, Moon, and Flare drop from the portal. They all land on the snow, slowly standing up and looking at their surroundings]

MOON: Three moons. Flare. [giving Flare a long hug] We’ve missed you.

FLARE: Don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m worried about you two, [inspecting Inferno and Moon’s injuries] both of you look beaten up.

INFERNO: Yeah, because we did. [hug Flare] Sorry we’ve taken so long.

FLARE: It’s alright. [introducing the green dragon] This is Hime. She told me she was also taken by Abstract as well.

MOON: You’re Hime?

HIME: Yeah.

MOON: We had contact with your mother a couple days ago, she missed you a lot.

FLARE: [looking around the forest, seeing nothing except snow continuously falling down] What are we gonna do now?

INFERNO: First, we need to find out where we are. [to Flare] Can I have the wristband back?

FLARE: Yeah.

[Flare hands Infernonthe wristband, and he puts it on and tightens it around his wrist. Inferno slowly turns his talon, opening a portal back to their home. Moon and Flare begin walking toward the portal]

INFERNO: Wait, guys, hold on. [to Moon] Abstract still has her powers, she’ll try to hunt us down again. Even if we head home, she’ll find us.

FLARE: Then what are we gonna do?

MOON: [thinking for a moment] We’ll fight her. She won’t leave us alone until she gets what she want. It’s time we bring the fight to her.

INFERNO: That’s the problem. Abstract have Flare’s powers, which is stronger than both of us. Fighting her would be suicide… and the condition we’re in… Moon, I just don’t think fighting her is a good idea. She has an army and we’re only three dragons.

MOON: Three moons. Uh…

[suddenly, there was a loud horn, and Inferno, Moon, Flare, and Hime all turned toward the direction of the noise. There’s a dragon approaching them while holding the horn in her talon, and many more dragons begin to emerge from their hiding spot and approach towards the four dragons. Surrounded, Inferno lights his talons on fire]

MOON: Wait, Inferno, don’t try to threaten them.

INFERNO: What if they work for Abstract?

SIERRA: [approach and stand in front of the four dragons] Who are you four?

MOON: We’re being hunted by a dragon. We got lost while trying to escape.

SIERRA: [points her horn at Inferno] You. I know you.

INFERNO: You know me? What? How?

SIERRA: About a year ago. You saved our tribe from extinction.

INFERNO: I did?

SIERRA: You seriously don’t remember? [reach into a pouch hanging around her neck and pull out a glass bottle filled with a little bit of yellow liquid left] Ringing any bells?

INFERNO: You still have it?

SIERRA: Yeah. Our tribe were starving and slowly dying one by one, but then, [smiles at Inferno] you offered us a solution. A chance. We could never thank you enough.

FLARE: What is that?

MOON: It’s something your father made before you hatched. [to Sierra] You know anywhere we can be safe?

SIERRA: Follow me.

[Sierra turns and walks away, followed by the rest of her dragons. Flare and Hime begin following after them while Inferno and Moon stand next to each other]

MOON: [teasingly] Good thing you didn’t throw any fireballs at them.

[scene cuts to the four dragons arriving at the snow village. Sierra’s dragons begin to split up and head back to their station, leaving Sierra to be the only dragon with Inferno, Moon, Flare, and Hime. Inferno looks around the village]

INFERNO: I remember this place.

[the villagers notice Inferno and begins murmuring to each other while pointing at him]

VILLAGER #1: It’s the FlameWing.

VILLAGER #2: He saved us.

INFERNO: We don’t have much time. Abstract and her army is coming.

SIERRA: Abstract?

HIME: Do you know her?

SIERRA: [sighs and nods] Yes.

[scene cuts to Sierra introducing Inferno, Moon, Flare, and Hime to a building. Inside the building is a wall, inscribed with text and a drawing of Abstract emerging from a rift]

FLARE: What is this?

SIERRA: Thousands of years ago, a dragon of darkness… and chaos was hatched. Her goal was to eliminate dangers she sees, and her ambition outgrew her. She begins to slaughter dragons she believed to be a danger across realms, dimensions, worlds. [turning to Inferno] She believed your powers are dangerous. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she had slaughtered you in another realm. [introducing the four dragons to another painting] Our village was able to drive her and her army of shadows back to where they came from. The more dragons she killed, the more powerful she’ll become, and if she takes this little dragonet’s power… [pointing at Flare] she’ll be unstoppable.

MOON: Then we’ll have to protect her at all costs.

SIERRA: [to Inferno] We’ve tracked how many variants of you were killed by her, and the result… quite unbelievable.

INFERNO: How many did she kill?

SIERRA: Two hundred and sixty four, a small fraction of every other dragon she’s killed.

HIME: Three moons.

INFERNO: Why didn’t she kill me back there at the mountain?

SIERRA: Abstract love to have her victim experiencing the worst pain possible before she kills them. She believes it’s… fun, but she doesn’t like to do it herself, so she recruits other dragons to do the job for her.

MOON: How did you guys stop her?

[scene cuts to another building. Sierra goes into the building and grabs a pair of spears, bringing them out and hand it to Inferno and Moon]

SIERRA: Opal. It’s an element that is said to consume darkness. We knew what Abstract can do, so this was our best solution to stop her.

[Moon is holding the spear and looking at it while Inferno is spinning it in his talons]
