## Script

[scene begins with two dragons unlocking a cell with a young dragonet inside. She looks horrified as the dragons approach her]

[SCREEN TITLE: 5 YEARS AGO]

DRAGON #1: Come on, get her on her feet.

VIPER: [asking nervously] Where are you taking me?

DRAGON #2: You won’t need to know.

[scene cuts to a dragon’s talons being cuffed in a chain. They are being escorted to a room by two other larger dragons. Upon arrival to the room, the chained dragon was dumped into the ground, who slowly staggers on her feet]

VIPER: [run to the cell door and grab on the handle] Hello? Hello? [softly whisper to herself] Alright, Viper, don’t be scared, don’t be scared. You’re gonna be fine, you’re gonna be just fine. [breath in and out]

DOCTOR: [voice comes from behind Viper] It has been a long time since I had a dragon here.

[some machineries in the background suddenly hissed, which caught Viper’s attention]

VIPER: Who the hell are you?

DOCTOR: [putting on a mask] You’ll see. [pull a switch, releasing sleeping gas onto the room]

[Viper slowly loses her consciousness, and she collapses onto the ground as her eyes close. She wakes up moments later, strapped onto a chair with her snout chained. She tries to move her talons but finds out it was tied onto the chair. Viper lunges forward and try to scream for help, but she couldn’t]

DOCTOR: [appearing next to her] Don’t bother trying, Viper. You’ll just make yourself tired. [picks up a needle filled with dark liquid, which appears to move on itself]

[Viper notices the needle as the doctor grabs it, and she begins panicking. She flails around harder, grunting and moving around]

DOCTOR: Viper, sit still.

[Viper wouldn’t listen, as she continued flailing around, until she was darted in the neck by a paralyze dart. She stops flailing, as her head droops down. Her eyes twitch left and right as the doctor approaches her and sticks the needle in her neck. Moments later, a black starburst shape grow from Viper’s neck]

[the black starburst continues growing upward toward her head as she screams in pain. Her veins are popping out, all in a shade of black]

[scene cuts to the outside of the cell, where the doctor screaming can be heard. The doctor was thrown at the cell door, knocking the door backward. The doctor is whimpering in fear as a large shadow approaches him. Scene pans up to show a black matter dragon stopping in front of him as he whimpers in fear, blood covering his body]

DOCTOR: What the hell are you?

VIPER: [tilt her head to the side] You did it yourself.

[scene cuts to black, and a blood thirsting scream can be heard. Scene cuts to show the black matter creature transforming itself back to Viper, who is walking down the hallway, and scene pans behind her to show many dragons’ bodies on the ground, dead]

[Viper arrives at a wall, and she transforms into the dark matter creature again. She punched the wall of the building, completely destroying it and she flew out. As she fly further from the building, it is revealed that she was on an abandoned island]

[Dragon Studios opening scene play, with the landscape in the background switches to the FlameWings village. The opening scene continues, as the map surrounding it continues to fracture and burn. Toward the end of the scene, the logo fracture by bits, then eventually crumble into ashes]

[scene fades to black, and fades to show a burned forest, with some trees still standing. Scene pans closer to reveal multiple dead dragons’ bodies lying on the ground. Scene cuts again to show a dragon’s body slumping onto the ground, and another dragon walking past them. It is revealed to be Inferno, who is clutching the destroyed FlameWings Gem tightly and continue heading forward ragefully]

[SCREEN TITLE: PRESENT DAY]

[SCREEN TITLE: IOCHI FOREST]

[Inferno suddenly stops, and he looks behind him, where he sees a spirit of his mother, Ember. She seems a bit horrified at what Inferno just did]

INFERNO: Why are you here?

EMBER: I should be the one to ask that question.

INFERNO: I have something to do.

EMBER: Yes, by killing all these innocent dragons. It’s not the way to fix the gem.

INFERNO: Yeah, well, it’s the only way. These dragons were the only ones who had the ability to fix the gem, but they didn’t. [slowly approach Ember] Mother, I need you to understand I’m desperate right now.

EMBER: Killing these dragons won’t fix the gem.

INFERNO: [pause for a moment and sigh] This gem was the legacy of our tribe. I was supposed to protect it, but… [look into the distance and see a dragon in a hood, they’re holding a dagger on each talon, looking around]

EMBER: Alright, now who the hell is that?

INFERNO: Assassin. Come on, hide. [Inferno run and hide behind a log]

EMBER: I’m a spirit, nobody can see me unless I choose to let them. [float over to Inferno] Why are you having assassins chasing after you?

INFERNO: Look, I killed a lot of dragons doing shit they shouldn’t over the past few years, and there would always be that one dragon who would avenge their death.

EMBER: [point at the assassin approaching Inferno slowly, looking around] That’s one of them?

INFERNO: One of the many mores to come.

EMBER: Why are they hunting you now?

INFERNO: It’s been a public thing since a week ago. I’m surprised that you didn’t know about it yet. You seriously don’t know about it?

[Ember shake her head]

INFERNO: The entire world is on my tail now. They’re trying to get their revenge for what I did, even the head of this continent placed a bounty on me. [uncrumple a piece of paper that he took from his pouch] Ten million credits, wow, that’s a lot.

EMBER: Can’t you just get up and beat the hell out of that dragon? You’re the most powerful dragon in the world.

INFERNO: [sarcastically] Of course, how did I never think of that? Oh right, I lost all of my power. I’m screwed.

EMBER: What?

INFERNO: I lost all of my powers. I’m just a normal assassin now.

EMBER: How?

INFERNO: [surprised] You seriously don’t know? [show Ember the destroyed FlameWings Gem] Just gonna get it quick. This thing’s destroyed, I lose my powers.

[Inferno peek his head to find the assassin, only to see no one there]

INFERNO: Wait, where did he go?

[Inferno suddenly senses something behind him, and he rolls to the side as a dagger landed at the spot he was in. The dagger missed him and impaled into the log as Inferno stand up and see the assassin standing in front of him]

EMBER: You can take him on, right?

[the assassin uses his wind power to lift the dagger out of the log. He then lift the other five daggers out of his pouch, and uses his power to point the dagger right at Inferno]

EMBER: Yeah, spoke too soon.

INFERNO: Not helping.

[the assassin fires a dagger right at Inferno’s head, but he dodges it and look at the assassin horridly, who is still lifting the other five daggers]

FALCON: You know who I am?

INFERNO: I’ve literally never met you before.

FALCON: Hmm. [lift the thrown dagger back to his talon] You took my mother from me. It’s time for me to avenge her.

INFERNO: Who?

EMBER: Inferno, you’re pissing him off.

FALCON: [shout] Gale! [lower his tone] You killed her six months ago. It’s time for my revenge, and when I do kill you, I would kill the most powerful dragon.

EMBER: Inferno, what did you do?

INFERNO: I don’t know. I don’t keep tabs on dragons.

EMBER: [referring about the wall with the tally marks at Inferno’s old home] It seems like a while ago that you did.

[Falcon begins firing his daggers at Inferno, who is dodging them and picks up a log to block more. Falcon continues firing the dagger at Inferno, ordering them back as each of them misses. Inferno slowly approach Falcon which using the log to shield him, and eventually get close enough where Inferno punch him across the snout]

[Falcon turns to look at Inferno, smiling at the shocked Inferno. Falcon uses his wind power to throw Inferno away from him. Inferno staggers onto his feet and faces Falcon, who destroys the log that Inferno used and turns them into many sharp sticks. He fires them at Inferno, who ran behind a tree and hide]

FALCON: Come out, FlameWings… you know you can’t defeat me, so don’t bother trying. [Inferno still hides behind the tree] Fine. [Falcon uses his wind power to knock the tree down, revealing Inferno who is hiding behind it] There you are.

[Falcon raises his daggers and point them at Inferno again, who ran behind another tree]

EMBER: [appearing next to Inferno] You know, maybe you should stop killing dragons, then you won’t be in a situation like this.

INFERNO: Not helping, mother! [slowly peeks around the tree and a dagger flies past him, barely misses him] Oh! [Inferno peeks again, seeing no one. Talking to Ember] Where is he now?

EMBER: I don’t see him.

[Falcon attempts to stab Inferno, who rolls to the side and dodges it. Inferno looks at Falcon, then at the environment to find a way to defeat Falcon]

[Falcon rushes toward Inferno, and grabs him by the neck. He then hold him up and slam Inferno onto the ground. Blood is rushing out of Inferno’s nose and mouth as Falcon drags Inferno on the ground. Inferno kicks Falcon in the stomach, giving him time to escape from Falcon’s grasp. Inferno stands up, grab Falcon’s head and push him toward a tree where he slam his head against the tree multiple time]

[Falcon grabs Inferno’s talon, and he kicks him backward. Falcon then raise his talons up in a fighting position and spit on the ground]

INFERNO: Look, I don’t want to fight you.

FALCON: [sinisterly] I don’t care. You killed my mother. [lift into the air and land in front of Inferno while swinging the daggers]

[Inferno grabs one of Falcon’s arms to stop him, but Falcon cuts him across the arm with the dagger in the air, and Inferno winces in pain. Falcon uses his wind power to throw Inferno backward, who is clutching his bleeding arm and limping toward a large rock, where he hide behind it, panting for breath]

[Inferno then sees a small rock next to him, and scene cuts to Falcon approaching Inferno slowly. Suddenly, a small rock was thrown to the left of the boulder, distracting Falcon as Inferno appeared from the right side of the boulder and charged toward Falcon. Inferno tackles Falcon onto the ground, continuously punching Falcon until he uses his power to lift Inferno off of him. Falcon stands up and fire a dagger at Inferno, who catches it midair and throw it back, slicing Falcon across his face]

INFERNO: I told you, I don’t want to fight you.

[Falcon, now more irritated than ever, hovers into the air as he grabs pieces of the ground with him. Inferno watches horridly as Falcon throws the ground chunks at him. Inferno was able to dodge a couple of the chunks, but a giant boulder was thrown toward him, knocking him backward onto the ground]

[Falcon lands in front of Inferno, who struggles to stand up. The entire right side of Inferno’s head is bleeding, and Falcon approaches Inferno, grabs his snout and raises it to the point where Inferno can see him. In the other talon, Falcon is holding a dagger, and he raises it as he looks at Inferno, who is exhausted and mortally wounded after being hit by a boulder. Falcon hesitates to stab Inferno in the head, and he drops the dagger onto the ground. Falcon then releases Inferno’s snout, who slump onto the ground. Falcon drop onto the ground, sitting in front of Inferno as both dragons are exhausted]

FALCON: I’ve won. I’ve killed you.

INFERNO: [exhausted and coughing out blood] Why didn’t you? You had the chance to.

[Falcon just sat there, didn’t answer, as Inferno eventually sat up and looked at him. The two dragons exchange glances at each other, both breathing heavily]

INFERNO: Who sent you?

FALCON: What?

INFERNO: That armband with a dragon embedded on it. [Falcon turns his arm to reveal to Inferno the armband] Yeah, I recognize that symbol from someone before, except I don’t know who it is. Who sent you after me?

FALCON: You don’t need to know.

INFERNO: Hmm. Alright, you can keep it to yourself.

FALCON: FlameWing, tell me something. [Inferno turns to give him his attention] Why didn’t you use your power?

[Inferno raised his head at Falcon but didn’t answer, he just sat there, thinking about what happened to the gem. He reaches into his pouch and brought out the destroyed FlameWings Gem for Falcon to see]

INFERNO: Been a shitty few weeks, trying to get this thing fixed but I don’t know anyone who can fix it. And then the bounty thing happens and I have to go into hiding.

FALCON: [lean forward] Do you know why it happened? Do you? Want me to tell you?

[Inferno didn’t answer]

FALCON: You’ve ruined too many dragons’ lives since the day you hatched. [Inferno look on the ground in guilt] You think that because you have powers and become the most powerful dragon in the world will make others fear you. And you might think that, but deep down, inside those dragons, their hatred toward you rises each and every day. They won’t forgive you. You think they never attacked you because they’re scared… but they’re just waiting for the perfect moment to kill you, and now, since your powers are gone, they’re gonna come and get their revenge.

INFERNO: I’ve only killed others for a better good to the world.

FALCON: How about the NightWings massacre?

INFERNO: I did what I had to. They wiped out my entire tribe… except for Scorch and I.

FALCON: [switches to a different point] You saw what happened in Aswich Forest, your explosion killed fifteen dragons. Now at least a couple of them have relatives who would really love to hang your head on their wall. Couple dragons turn to a hundred, a hundred turns to thousands, and suddenly, you have the entire world against you.

FALCON: [stand up and start walking away] It’s time for you to realize the nightmares you made for others are meant to be yours.

[Falcon leaves the area, leaving only Inferno to sit there by himself. Inferno look down in the ground in guilt, and then slowly raise his head up again]

INFERNO: Mother, if you’re here… are you afraid of what I’ll become?

[there were no responses, Ember’s spirit didn’t appear. After a while of waiting, Inferno slowly stand up, clutching his injured arm and slowly limp away from the area]

[scene cuts to Viper running away from a group of dragons in a forest. Her right arm is covered in black matter, slowly rising to the top of her body]

VIPER: No, Viper, not now.

[her right talon suddenly raises on its own and she shoots a black goo onto a tree, where it sticks to it. The black goo expands to cover the tree, and as the group of dragons rush past it, the goo explodes and spews venom over the dragons. They all collapse on the ground, screaming in pain as the venom burn their scale]

VIPER: Okay, that was nice.

[more dragons suddenly arrive into the forest and continue going after Viper. Viper runs away faster once she notice the dragons following her]

VIPER: Shit. Shit. Shit. Come on, turn, Viper.

[the black matter on her arm starts growing faster up to her body. Suddenly, her entire underscale turns to black as she turns hard left to avoid the dragons. Viper pants as the dragons get closer to her. Eventually, her entire body turns into black matter. She leaps across a fallen log and turns around, and she grabs the dragon and slams him into the ground. She stood over the dragon, and kills him]

[scene cuts to Viper walking away from the dead body, leaving blood trails on her claws. The black matter fade, and she becomes a normal dragon again]

VIPER: Do you always have to kill dragons?

VIPER: [turn into black matter form and revert to her original form again] No.

VIPER: We’re gonna have to fix that behavior.

[Viper continues walking through the forest, when she is suddenly shot in the neck by a paralyze dart. She collapses on the ground, and the dragon who shot her appears out of a bush. Viper’s eyes track the dragon as they approach her, and she tries to change into her black matter form but couldn’t]

MYSTERIOUS DRAGON: They told me it’s gonna be hard to find you. Turns out, it’s way easier than I thought.

[Viper then fell unconscious, and her eyes closed. She then wakes up behind a cell bar, and she looks around her to see nothing but an empty cell]

VIPER: [reaching for her temple, which is bleeding] Ow. [she stands up, and tries to quickly walk over to the cell door when she suddenly trips. Her snout hit the ground hard, and she winced in pain. Viper looks behind her, seeing one of her legs being chained] Damn it.

MYSTERIOUS DRAGON: [wearing a robe] Yeah, you wouldn’t feel it, probably you’re still a bit paralyzed.

VIPER: Who are you?

MYSTERIOUS DRAGON: [walk forward, revealing to be a HiveWing] You know me?

VIPER: Yeah, I see a bitch standing in front of me. [look around] Where the hell am I?

HIVEWING: It doesn’t matter.

VIPER: What are you gonna do to me?

HIVEWING: Unlike many other dragons, I’m not gonna experiment on you. I understand the pain that you have to go through.

VIPER: Were you turned into this black matter freak that runs around killing dragons like a maniac? [the HiveWing didn’t answer] Yeah, thought so.

HIVEWING: [take the robe off of her, showing her left arm missing] What about missing an arm? Does it hurt as much as turning into a black matter creature?

VIPER: What happened?

HIVEWING: About a year and a half ago, this one FlameWing came to kill my brother. He believes he is dangerous, with a possibility of doing the same thing Queen Wasp did a while ago, and should be eliminated right away. Both him and the FlameWing fought, and the FlameWing created an explosion.

VIPER: [slowly] And?

HIVEWING: The explosion killed my brother, along with many other dragons. I happened to be around the area during the time, and that’s what caused this. [referring to her missing arm] My name is Attas. HiveWing.

VIPER: So what does all those things have to do with me?

ATTAS: I need you to kill the FlameWing. There have been reports of the FlameWing’s loss of powers, making him vulnerable.

VIPER: If he doesn’t have his powers, why can’t you just kill him yourself?

ATTAS: [sigh in exasperation] He was trained to be an assassin at one year old. Even if he doesn't have his powers, he’s still hard to kill, but you, you have something nobody ever sees before. That’s why I need you.

VIPER: And what if I do it?

ATTAS: I’ll fix you. I’ll help you get rid of this living nightmare.

[Viper looks at Attas for a moment, and then nodded after a moment to think it through]

[scene cuts to Inferno walking out of the forest, clutching his bleeding arm. Inferno looks in front of him, seeing a town. Inferno slowly limps toward the town. Cuts to the town, Inferno is limping toward a saloon as dragons look at him]

[Inferno went into the saloon, and he meets with the owner of it]

INFERNO: Do you have any water?

SALOON OWNER: [shocked to see Inferno bleeding so much] Yeah… sure.

[Inferno drops a coin on the counter and heads over to a chair, where he sits down. He then look at the entire saloon, seeing every dragons staring at him]

INFERNO: Oh, three moons.

[the owner of the saloon arrives with a bowl of water for Inferno]

SALOON OWNER: Here you go. [put the bowl of water on the table]

INFERNO: Thank you.

[Inferno picks up the bowl of water and begins drinking it. Suddenly, five dragons stand up from their seat, and they head over to Inferno as he put his bowl down]

INFERNO: [seeing the five dragons stopping in front of him] What do you want?

GANG DRAGON #1: [signaling for two dragons to go from behind Inferno] I want nothing from you… except your life.

[the two dragons behind Inferno suddenly grab his arm to prevent him from fighting back. The dragon in front of Inferno pushes the table to the side, and he looks at the helpless Inferno, grunting as he tries to escape from the two dragons’ grasps. The rest of the dragons in the saloon stood at the furthest part of the building and watches]

GANG DRAGON #1: Maybe this will teach you. [punch Inferno in the stomach] To not mess with us. [punch Inferno again]

[one of the gang dragons then grabs Inferno by the neck and pushes him against a wall, where he traps him there. Blood is trickling down Inferno’s nose and mouth. The dragon tear Inferno’s wings membranes, then pull out a knife from his pouch and hold it in front of Inferno’s neck, ready to kill him]

GANG DRAGON #2: FlameWing, it’s time for you to die.

[suddenly, from behind, a dark goo shoots forward and attaches itself onto the back of the dragon with the knife. He is suddenly pulled backward, releasing Inferno as he drop on the ground, scene pans to reveal the dragon who pulled the dragon to be Viper]

VIPER: He’s mine. Get away from him.

[all the gang dragons turn to look at Viper, and Inferno exhaustedly watches while laying on the ground. The gang dragons pull out their knives, preparing to face against Viper]

VIPER: [tilting her head to the side] Is that all you got? Pathetic. [black matter begin engulfing her body]

[the first dragon charges at Viper with a knife, but Viper grabs her talon and snaps it. The dragon screams in pain and drops on the ground. The other gang dragons begin attacking Viper, but they did no damage to her black matter form. Viper grabs a dragon and holds him in the air, where she snaps his neck and drops him on the ground. Another dragon throws a knife at Viper, but she grabs it and throws it toward the dragon, killing him. Suddenly, from behind, another gang dragon hit Viper in the head with a wooden chair, dealing no damage]

VIPER: [turning around and stare at the dragon] Cute. [shoot a venom ball at the dragon, melting her scales]

[after the fight, the entire saloon is in ruins. There are five dead dragons’ bodies on the ground. The owner of the saloon watches in horror of his destroyed place, and Viper walk over to him with a pouch of credits in her talon]

VIPER: [switching to her normal form and back to the black matter form] Sorry for the inconvenience. Here you go. [drop the pouch on the counter]

[Viper approach Inferno, who is standing up slowly while clutching his arm]

INFERNO: Thank you.

[Viper grabs Inferno by the neck, and she swings him around, where she slams him hard onto a wooden table, destroying it. Viper clutches Inferno’s neck tightly to prevent him from escaping as she still has him pinned on the ground. Inferno looks to the right of him and see a glass bottle, he quickly grabs it and hit Viper in the head with it, releasing him]

[Viper immediately shoots a black goo at Inferno, but he takes a table to block it. Inferno then drops the table and rushes toward her where he punches her across the snout. Viper didn’t react, and Inferno watches as his talon is filled with black goo. Viper then grabs Inferno again and throws him toward a shelf filled with glass bottles. Inferno lay on top of the pile of broken glasses, his entire body is bleeding, and Viper approaches him as he fell unconscious]

[scene cuts to Inferno waking up in a cell. He looks around confusedly, and then he feels his bleeding head. Inferno painfully roll onto his side, and he stand up slowly]

INFERNO: [muttering to himself] Where the hell am I? [louder] Hello?

VIPER: [sitting outside the cell, leaning against a wall] You’re awake?

INFERNO: [startled] Woah, okay, I didn’t notice you there. [look around] You’re that black gooey creature with venom, right?

VIPER: Yep, and technically, it’s not a black gooey creature, it’s more of like a, um… a type of venom thingy.

INFERNO: Kinda reminds me of Kinkajou.

VIPER: Who?

INFERNO: Nothing. [pause for a moment] So why did you save me from those dragons back there only to attack me?

VIPER: I’m working for someone who wants you dead. They promised they’ll fix me when the job is done.

INFERNO: And who is that?

ATTAS: [walk forward] Me. [notice Inferno is surprised to see her] Remember me? [Inferno didn’t answer] Of course you do, especially my brother, along with the many other dragons that you’ve killed. You remember them all.

INFERNO: Your brother was a threat, you need to understand that. Moon saw what he’ll become, [referring about Queen Wasp] and I cannot let the same thing happen again. I have to kill him to make sure the world will be safe.

ATTAS: You’ve killed my brother based on an assumption that he’ll become as dangerous as Queen Wasp.

INFERNO: I did what I had to.

ATTAS: Tell me then. What if there was a newborn, baby dragonet, living happily with its parents, but that baby dragonet will one day become something as dangerous as Darkstalker. Will you kill it?

INFERNO: [hesitates] I will do what’s better for the world.

ATTAS: [irritated] Answer the question. Yes or no.

INFERNO: [pause] Yes.

ATTAS: I thought so. You want to know what happens when a dragon has too many powers that even he himself can’t contain? [look at Inferno, who didn’t answer] It’s that they have no one else to fear but themself.

[Attas slam on the cell bar, and it vibrates]

ATTAS: You think the things that you do will not have consequences, FlameWing. Wrong. There’s blood of dragons on your talons, but you tried to hide it. Regardless of how many times you try, you can’t escape the nightmare that you create for yourself.

[Attas leaves the room, leaving only Inferno and Viper to be there. The two dragons exchange glances at each other]

VIPER: Do you think what she says about you is right?

INFERNO: [ignoring her question] Did she send you to kill me?

VIPER: Capture. To capture you. She’s deciding what to do with you right now.

INFERNO: I need to get out of here.

VIPER: Except you won’t. You’re gonna stay in this cell for eternity if it has to be that way.

INFERNO: Look, whatever dragon you are, I don’t want to fight anyone. I’m just trying to get my gem fixed so I can have my powers and get back to what I was doing before.

VIPER: Slaughtering more dragons?

INFERNO: Um… no, I’m way past that.

VIPER: Yeah, right. Tell me if this story sounds familiar to you. It should, unless someone hits your head so hard you forget about everything. Anyway, remember Iochi Forest, where you slaughtered an entire group of worksmiths because they wouldn’t fix the gem for you?

INFERNO: I was too desper-

VIPER: It’s too late to redeem yourself. You’ve caused enough suffering for others. [walks away from the cell, leaving Inferno to be alone in the room]

[scene cuts to late at midnight. Inferno is kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed. He is concentrating on something]

INFERNO: Master Singe? [open his eyes and look around the cell, trying to focus on the soul] Master? I need your help. [there was no response] Master?

[there was no response]

INFERNO: I don’t know if you’re not really here or just ignoring me on purpose. If you’re here, I need your guidance. I need you to show me a path. I’ve become a living nightmare to everyone, including myself. What I’ve done, nobody would forgive. So I’m here, asking for your advice, how to fix the nightmares I’ve created.

[nothing changes, Inferno breathes slowly. He then try to speak to Master Singe one more time]

INFERNO: I feel lost. There’s a part of me that I know you would never forgive, and I can understand why. I thought the FlameWings Gem represents our tribe’s legacy, but all it did was consume me. [pause for a moment] I don’t know what to do anymore.

[after all that, nothing around Inferno feels different. Inferno head over to a wall, where he leans against it, sighing in disappointment]

VIPER: [out of nowhere] You pray?

INFERNO: When did you get here?

VIPER: I was sitting here, watching you for the past like… thirty minutes. [hold up a pouch of cashews] The cashews are pretty good, too.

INFERNO: Hmm.

VIPER: So who was that you’re praying to?

INFERNO: My old master. He was the one who trained me to become an assassin. Plus, I was not praying, I’m just asking him for guidance.

VIPER: [holding a cashew and moving her talons around] You know, for a dragon who everybody wants to kill, you don't seem that bad.

INFERNO: I could be far worse if I had the gem.

VIPER: What’s with you and this stupid gem of yours?

INFERNO: It’s not stupid. It’s an elemental crystal that contains our tribe’s history. Its legacy, my powers, the dragons, they all built the gem.

VIPER: All that and for you to abuse your powers.

[Inferno looks at Viper in guilt. Scene cuts to later, Inferno is sleeping now. Cuts to inside his dream, revealing a happy village. Inferno is standing in the center of the village, looking around to see dragonets playing with each others and adult dragons doing their daily work]

HIVEWING DRAGONET #1: Come on, let’s play.

HIVEWING DRAGONET #2: Yeah, I’m coming.

[Inferno looks at the adult dragons, some are carrying baskets of vegetables and talking with others. Inferno suddenly becomes sadden]

HIVEWING VILLAGER #1: You saw what I brought you yesterday?

HIVEWING VILLAGER #2: It was beautiful.

[Inferno continues looking around, eventually seeing a dragonet who he seems to recognize. He walks closer to the dragonet, noticing that it’s the young Attas, who’s drawing on a scroll with some inks. Her brother is in front of her]

REAF: What is that you’re drawing?

ATTAS: A crocodile. They seem like amazing creatures.

REAF: Hmm, yes they are.

[Inferno approaches closer to the two dragonets. They are still chatting with each other and suddenly burst into laughter. The background behind Inferno suddenly flickers and switches to nighttime, showing a burning village]

[Inferno looks around, seeing another FlameWing standing in the center of the village. The FlameWing’s eyes are glowing orange]

HIVEWING VILLAGER #3: You monster!

HIVEWING VILLAGER #4: Get out of here!

[villagers can be heard weeping and crying, mourning for the dragons who died in an explosion. Inferno turns to look at the dead body of Reaf, laying on the ground with his body on fire. In the distance is Attas, who’s entire left arm is severely burned]

[Inferno looks at the dragon at the center of the village again, who also turns to face him. Suddenly, it feels like Inferno is staring into a mirror. The two dragons just stood there with no movement, when the other Inferno blast a fireball right at Inferno]

[Inferno wakes up in horror, gasping for breath. He then realizes that he is not dreaming anymore, and he rolls to the side painfully]

INFERNO: Ow…

[Inferno reaches his talon to his forehead, where he feels it]

INFERNO: [close his eyes and whisper] Master Singe? If you can hear me, master, please. I really need your help.

[there was still no answer, and Inferno gave up and went back to sleep. Scene cuts to the morning, Inferno is still sleeping as sunlight emits through a hole in the wall]

[the door of the cell suddenly unlocks, and a dragon steps through it. The dragon inspects the sleeping Inferno, then throws a bag filled with supplies at his head, waking him up. Inferno throw the bag to his side, and he sees Viper in the cell with him]

VIPER: Come on, I’m gonna get you out of here.

[scene cuts to the two dragons sneaking around the building. Viper is looking around the corner to make sure it’s safe to go, and Inferno is carrying the bag that she gave him earlier. Inferno is slowly catching up to Viper as he is limping]

INFERNO: Why are you helping me?

VIPER: Not now, I’ll tell you later. [peek through a corner] Clear. You’re good to go.

[Inferno limps through the corner, and the two dragons continue heading down the corridor to an exit. They open a door, which leads to the outside, revealing that they’ve been in the middle of a glacier the entire time. There was harsh winds blowing snow at Inferno’s face]

VIPER: Can you fly?

INFERNO: I can try to. [look at his destroyed wings membrane]

VIPER: Alright, come on, it won’t take long before Attas comes and finds us.

[the two dragons lift into the air, but Inferno immediately crashes down onto the snow. Viper flew in front of him as he stand up and try to fly again]

VIPER: You’re okay?

INFERNO: I can’t fly. [begins walking toward the direction Viper was heading to] Just lead the way, I’ll try to catch up as quickly as possible.

VIPER: Okay. [fly toward the west]

[Inferno limps as fast as possible after Viper, huge winds are knocking him on the snow as Inferno follows Viper. Inferno’s body is becoming more pale as he continue heading west, and he is losing a bit of his vision as snow continue blowing in his eyes]

INFERNO: [muttering to himself] Shit.

[the two dragons continue heading west, and Inferno eventually collapse on the snow]

VIPER: The wind should die down soon. [notice Inferno didn’t answer, and she looks back, seeing him laying on the snow] FlameWing?

[Viper immediately flies back to Inferno’s body, seeing his body slowly turning more pale. She shakes his body, trying to get him to wake up and checking the pulse on his neck, which is slowing down]

VIPER: Hey, FlameWing, wake up. Wake up! [continue shaking his body]

[Viper stands up and looks around, and then thinks of a solution. Scene cuts to Viper in her black matter form rushing through the glacier with Inferno’s body in her back. Cuts to Viper dropping Inferno’s body in the middle of the forest, she change back to her normal form, and shakes Inferno’s body again]

VIPER: Come on, FlameWing, wake up. [check his pulse again and realize his entire body is still freezing cold] Fire. I need fire.

[Viper starts a fire nearby, and she rolls Inferno’s body near it, warming him up. She then sat down and pants, and then noticed a pouch hanging around Inferno’s neck. Curious, Viper take the pouch off of Inferno’s neck and carefully open it]

VIPER: [see a necklace with a purple crystal as its pendant] What the hell?

[she looks into the pouch again, seeing the destroyed FlameWings Gem and she puts the necklace back in there. Viper turns to look at Inferno’s body, still next to the fire. She lift Inferno’s wing to inspect it, seeing that it has been torn and destroyed]

VIPER: [talking to Inferno, even though he wouldn’t respond] What did you do for all these things to happen?

EMBER: [appearing next to Viper] Before, dragons used to like him. They see him as a hero.

VIPER: [shocked] Three moons, you’re a ghost.

EMBER: I’m his dead mother. [look at Inferno] Inferno was a hero to many dragons. He would use his power to defend them. But dragons soon realize that their relatives are in danger if he sees their futures. That’s what happened to Attas’s brother.

VIPER: Except it’s not him.

EMBER: What? [hover closer to Viper]

VIPER: He wasn’t the dragon who killed her brother. It was someone else.

EMBER: How?

VIPER: [walk over to the bag that Inferno was carrying earlier. She digs into the bag and pulls out a small red crystal] This is a Memorycatcher. It allows a dragon to hop into another dragon’s memory while they’re sleeping.

EMBER: What, like a Dreamvisitor?

VIPER: Something like that, but they don’t work the same. Dreamvisitor only let you hop into other dragons’ dreams, well, only the dragons you know.

EMBER: So?

VIPER: While Inferno was asleep in the cell yesterday, I used the Memorycatcher and searched his memory, especially when he killed Attas’s brother. I found out that he did kill her brother, but it’s not him. There’s someone else using his body to make him do all these things and make dragons afraid of him.

EMBER: If that’s true, why did he admit it?

VIPER: Because it’s a hollow memory. Inferno remembers doing it but doesn't know why he did it. Take you for example, you might for some reason, steal an orange from someone and you know you did it, but you don’t have the choice to stop yourself from doing it. During that phase, the dragon loses control of themselves to someone else.

EMBER: Who’s doing this to my son?

VIPER: We need to find them. They’re ruining Inferno’s life. [look over at Inferno] Except he hasn’t woken up yet.

EMBER: That won’t be a problem. [hover over to Inferno and reach her talons inside Inferno’s body] This is gonna be weird.

VIPER: Ugh. I think I’m gonna throw up.

EMBER: [still reaching in Inferno’s body] If you’re gonna do it, do it somewhere where I can’t see it.

[suddenly, Inferno jerks upward, awake. He look around in confusion, seeing Ember and Viper]

INFERNO: What the hell happened?

[scene cuts to later, Inferno is sitting close to the fire while Viper is finishing explaining to him. Ember had disappeared]

VIPER: … and then your mother reaches into your body and you just suddenly wakes up.

INFERNO: I’m so confused about the hollow memory right now.

VIPER: It is confusing. [standing up and grabbing the bag] Come on, we’re gonna have to get on our way. I know a town nearby.

INFERNO: [slowly standing up] It better not have dragons who would want to kill me.

VIPER: Unfortunately, no. Everywhere around the continent have dragons hunting for you. [take a cloak out of the bag and throw it for Inferno] This can be your disguise.

INFERNO: There’s no way I’m wearing this.

VIPER: Would you rather die?

[scene cuts to Inferno and Viper arrives in the town. The two dragons walk down the street, Inferno is tugging on the cloak]

VIPER: Hey, stop moving around like an idiot, they’re gonna notice you.

INFERNO: I don’t know if this is a costume for a dragonet or something, but it’s way too tight.

VIPER: I found it from Attas’s room. [turn to look at Inferno while still walking] Remember, if anyone asks it, just tell them you’re Flare and I’m Dune, understand?

INFERNO: [not looking at Viper] Uh-huh. Also, since I’m powerless right now, you’re gonna be protecting me. I find it also kinda ironic that a FlameWing isn’t resistant to fire anymore.

VIPER: So here’s the deal, don’t kill anyone unless it’s absolutely necessary. That means no bursting into someone’s house and killing their dragonet just because you have a vision about it.

INFERNO: Yeah, yeah, okay, sure.

VIPER: [notice some dragons walking down the street] Oh, shit, shit, Inferno, get in here. [pull Inferno into an alleyway]

[the two dragons peek their heads out and they see a group of three dragons holding crossbows. They all wear similar wristbands]

INFERNO: Who are they?

VIPER: Hunters. They’re probably looking for you. [point at their wristbands] You see those wristbands, they’re Bounters. I told you, everywhere you go, there will be a bunch of dragons looking for you.

INFERNO: So proud to actually be right, huh?

VIPER: Yeah. Alright, follow me.

[the two dragons head out to the street, acting like normal dragons of the town. Inferno pulls the hood over his head to cover his face, slightly looking at the Bounters]

ASHACK: [talking to an earring] What is it that you want, Edtra?

EDTRA: The FlameWing is somewhere in the town. Find him, bring him to me.

INFERNO: [to Viper] Alright, come on, let’s go quickly, get in the shop now.

VIPER: What, what’s going on out there?

INFERNO: They know I’m here. [look out through a window] I know those earrings. They stole it from Eternity. They’re probably talking with their leader right now.

[cuts to the outside, where Ashack is finishing his conversation with Edtra]

ASHACK: Understood.

[scene cuts back to the inside, Inferno walks away from the window. He then walks to the shop owner, who is fixing something]

INFERNO: Hey, hello?

SHOP OWNER: Hi, how can I help you?

INFERNO: We need somewhere to hide. Please.

[scene cuts to nighttime, Inferno and Viper are sitting in a pretty small room. Inferno has taken his cloak off. The door to the entrance of the room suddenly opens]

SHOP OWNER: Now you two tell me if you need anything, alright?

VIPER: Yeah, we will. Thank you.

[the door closes, leaving Inferno and Viper alone. Inferno lean back against the wall and sigh]

VIPER: So have things always been like this for you?

INFERNO: No. There’s a couple dragons who tried to kill me before, but there have never been this much. [pause and the two dragons look at each other] It’s been an everyday thing now, you know, just having the entire continent coming after me.

INFERNO: Why are you helping me?

VIPER: I thought I already told you.

INFERNO: I know, but why are you still helping me? After knowing that I didn’t do it.

VIPER: It just seems like the right thing to do. [pause and think for a moment] I wasn’t the perfect dragon.

INFERNO: I can tell.

VIPER: I was experimented on when I was five years old. It’s what gave me this black matter form. [transform her talon to black matter and back to normal]

INFERNO: Why?

VIPER: I never know why. I can barely remember it all. The only thing that I don’t want to remember was when I slaughtered those dragons who did it to me. Similar to you, I was dangerous, and dragons hunt for me, even to this day.

INFERNO: We both should probably get a new life.

[Viper smiles and then there’s a sudden scream outside. Inferno and Viper both exchange a glance at each other, Inferno then slowly pushes the door open, peeking his head through to make sure there’s no one in the shop]

[Inferno slowly walks toward the window, pulls the curtain and then looks outside. In the street, there are some dragons’ bodies lit on fire. A dragon is walking toward the shop with four other guards assisting them]

INFERNO: Oh, shit. [close the curtain] We’re gonna have to get out of here.

VIPER: What, why? Do you know him?

INFERNO: No time to talk, we’re gonna have to get you out of here. [Inferno and Viper walk back to the room they were in earlier, and Inferno opens the backdoor] Go somewhere where you’ll be safe.

VIPER: I’m so confused right now, what’s going on?

INFERNO: He’s Shadow’s brother. He’s looking for me after I killed his sister, alright?

VIPER: What, Inferno, you killed another dragon?

INFERNO: That was like… weeks ago, and yes, I did, but Shadow was a dangerous dragon, she threatened me and an animus SeaWing. Not counting the fact that she almost destroyed Eternity, but it’s not important right now, what’s important is getting you out of here.

VIPER: [turns to leave but turn around] Wait, what about you?

INFERNO: I’m gonna try and talk to him. It’s time I fix my mistake instead of running away from it. Viper, get out of here now.

VIPER: [picks up her bag on the ground, getting ready to leave] It’s been nice meeting you. I know you can change.

[Viper runs through the backdoor, heading away from the town without being seen. Inferno stood there, contemplating]

INFERNO: [to himself] Yeah. Hopefully. [turns around and pick up a staff]

[scene cuts to Inferno heading to the door of the shop, breathing slowly. He thought for a moment, eventually building up enough energy to open the door. Inferno walks forward slowly toward Shadow’s brother. The Bounters all point their crossbows at Inferno, but were giving a signal to lower their weapon]

INFERNO: Jinn.

JINN: So we finally met. It’s time for you to pay for my sister’s life.

INFERNO: Your sister was dangerous. She murdered almost the entire Pantalan tribes. I couldn’t bear to watch her taking countless dragons’ lives.

JINN: I don’t care what she did. [pull out a small hilt, and suddenly, a flame sword emerges from it] I’m gonna pay for her life… with your.

[Jinn begins approaching Inferno, and the two dragons clash with each other. Jinn swings his sword at Inferno, who dodges it and rolls to the other side. Inferno stood back up and watch as Jinn turns around to face him]

INFERNO: [calmly] I didn’t know how much she meant to you, Jinn. I’m sorry.

JINN: You should be! There’s guilt inside you for every dragons you’ve slain. [point his blazing sword at Inferno] And when I kill you, I will be a hero to the world.

INFERNO: You wish that was true.

[Jinn charges at Inferno with the sword again. Inferno takes his staff and blocks Jinn’s swing, Jinn then pushes his sword harder at Inferno, pushing Inferno back. Inferno then turns around and hit Jinn away from him with his tail]

INFERNO: You will never be a hero if you kill me. You’ll become just like me, except worse.

JINN: Liar! The FlameWings are dead. You’re nothing but a bounty to the rest of the world.

INFERNO: Wrong. I’m more than just a FlameWing. [hold up his staff] If fate wanted me to die here, then it would’ve let me.

[Jinn charges at Inferno with the sword again, and Inferno spins around him and grabs it out of his hand. Jinn turns around and shockingly finds out that Inferno has his sword]

INFERNO: I don’t want to kill you. So don’t make me do it. [throw the sword behind him] I can make this right. I don’t want to bring nightmares to others anymore. Jinn, please.

[Jinn angrily rushes at Inferno again, who easily maneuvers through him]

INFERNO: Let me try to fix this, please. I want to-

[suddenly, Inferno was hovering in the air, and he couldn’t move his body. He grunts and scene pans behind him to show Falcon walking toward him with his talon out. Jinn stares at Falcon and then look at Inferno]

FALCON: You want to fix things? I see nothing but lies coming out of that mouth. [throw Inferno against a wall of a house. The dragons inside the house yelp as Inferno collides against the wall] Nobody trust you anymore, FlameWing.

[Falcon lifts Inferno into the air again, not allowing him to move. Falcon then uses his power to lift the flame sword on the ground into his talon. He then holds it in front of Inferno’s face. Inferno is now grunting in fear]

FALCON: [referring about his mother] Remember how you burned her? This is what it feels like.

[Falcon holds the flaming sword and reaches for Inferno’s snout, burning it slowly. Inferno screams in pain as his scales are slowly burning off. Falcon takes the blade and burns Inferno’s neck with it, causing extreme pain. Inferno continues screaming helplessly as the Bounters and Jinn gather around to watch. Falcon continues burning Inferno’s scale, when suddenly, a black goo heads toward their direction and attaches onto the ground. Falcon looks at it in confusion and it explode, knocking him backward and releasing Inferno]

[Inferno drops onto the ground, groaning in pain as Viper rushes toward to grab him in her black matter form. Falcon raise his talon at Viper, but was then shot in the neck by a sleeping dart, and he collapse on the ground]

[scene cuts to away from the forest, as Viper is still dragging Inferno’s body with her. She comes to a stop and transform back to her normal body]

VIPER: Inferno?

INFERNO: [groaning] Viper… thank you.

VIPER: I knew it wasn’t a good idea heading out there by yourself. [hearing bush rattle and transform into her black matter form. She then sees Attas coming out of it and transform back to her normal self, sighing in relief]

INFERNO: What’s she doing here?

ATTAS: I was told what happened. It was a hollow memory.

INFERNO: [sitting up slowly] What are we gonna do now? There’s still dragons out there coming after me.

ATTAS: We’re gonna have to fix your gem. Once they know that you have your powers back, they wouldn’t dare to attack you.

INFERNO: Won’t you be afraid about what I might do again?

ATTAS: I couldn’t forgive you for what you did to my brother, but I know that you couldn’t control yourself. Everything can be tough.

VIPER: Those dragons you’ve encountered are only the first wave of many more to come. We gotta go somewhere where nobody can find you, that way, it’ll give us time to plan out how to fix that gem of yours. [take out a rope from the bag]

INFERNO: What is that for?

VIPER: You’ll see.

[scene cuts to Viper and Attas flying in the sky while holding the rope with the song “Polaroid Love” by ENHYPEN. Inferno’s talon is tied on the other end of the rope as Viper and Attas lift him in the air]

[SCREEN TITLE: AURORA KINGDOM]

[the three dragons eventually land near a kingdom, with a large castle built in the center of it. There are walls surrounding the kingdom, with guard posts on it. There is a large gate for dragons to enter, with guards watching it]

VIPER: This kingdom is most famous for its Aurora water. It’s said that it can reconnect the soul of the dead back to their body, therefore reviving them back to life.

ATTAS: Except that it’s stored inside the castle, not counting the fact that it’s only a few drops.

[the three dragons head toward it, and they were told to stop by a guard]

GUARD #1: Stop right there, we’ll have to make sure your wings are cuffed.

VIPER: And what for?

GUARD #1: To make sure no one can fly away. Plus, it’ll allow us to cut the dragon’s wings if they decide to do so. [hand Viper, Attas, and Inferno the wing cuffs]

INFERNO: Oh, um, I don’t think I’m gonna need that. [open his torn wings to show the guard that he can’t get away regardless]

[some dragons entering the kingdom are staring at Inferno’s wings and muttering about him. Viper and Attas eventually put the cuffs onto their wings]

GUARD #1: Once you enter through this gate, all your powers will be disable. This is to prevent any attacks within our kingdom.

[Inferno and Viper look at each other, and then the three dragons head into the kingdom. Once they entered, they see dragons walking around with other dragons, and some are buying resources at a market]

INFERNO: [to Viper without looking at her] Where’s the cloak?

VIPER: Why?

INFERNO: In a town full of dragons, there has gotta be a dragon who’s hunting for me here. [seeing dragons staring at him and talking to other dragons about it] Some of them are looking at me weirdly.

ATTAS: Just keep your head down.

INFERNO: Okay. Where are we going anyway?

ATTAS: We… are gonna steal a map from the castle. [see Inferno’s concerned look] But we’re gonna go and talk with someone I know first. You’re gonna like him, he makes a lot of weapons.

[Inferno and Viper follow after Attas. Inferno looks around to make sure nobody is following after them. Cuts to Attas arriving at the house of the dragon she’s meeting, and she knocks on the door. One of Attas’s friend opens the door]

REIN: After all these times, you finally decided to visit me. [welcome the dragons into his house] Kinda surprised that you even came.

ATTAS: Mhm.

REIN: [look at Inferno and Viper] So who are these two?

ATTAS: [point at Viper] This is Viper, she can turn into some kind of black matter creature. [point at Inferno] Well, uh, and this one had a hollow memory where he killed my brother. We’re trying to fix his stupid gem.

REIN: Yeah, I remember someone looking like him blowing up our village. [walk over, grab a bowl of soup and a spoon and slump down onto a chair] Why did you come here?

ATTAS: A lot of reasons, actually. We’re planning to steal a map from the castle, because I remember Queen Flora had a map of Kanundra. Also, um, we’re trying to hide from as many dragons as possible since this one right here, [point at Inferno] he’s being hunted by dragons across the continent.

REIN: [drinking his soup] Yeah, uh, I saw some Bounters in the street this morning. I don’t know if they’re still here, though.

[Rein puts down his soup and walks over to a table where he picks up a paper that he took earlier in the morning. He hand it to Inferno]

REIN: They left this all over the kingdom. Asking to know your location, wow, that’s gotta be such a great achievement to have everyone following after you.

INFERNO: If it was that great of an achievement to get your ass kick wherever you go.

REIN: [think for a moment] I like him. [walk to the table again and shuffle through his papers] Why are you guys here?

ATTAS: We’re looking for a way to get into the castle without being caught. [seeing Rein still digging through the papers] Rein, I need you to listen.

REIN: I’m listening.

ATTAS: You were an ex-member of the Royalists. If anyone I know that can get us into the castle, it’s you.

REIN: I have a tag that can probably let you into the building. But it probably doesn't even work anymore since the last time I used it was like… three years ago.

ATTAS: Yeah, well, regardless, we still have to try. So where is it?

[scene cuts to the basement of the house. Rein is digging through a box until he found the tag and hand it to Attas]

VIPER: Do you know where the queen is keeping her map?

REIN: In the library, it’s hidden from the rest. To get to it, you gotta get to a certain bookshelf and cause a Rifts between them.

INFERNO: How do we do that?

REIN: I have no idea how to do it. [dig into a box and give Inferno a mini crossbow] Since you’re being hunted, this can at least help you defend yourself.

INFERNO: [take the crossbow] Thank you.

[scene cuts to the three dragons heading back to the living room of the house]

REIN: I wish good luck for you on this journey. [smiles as the three dragons leave his house]

VIPER: Thank you, once again, for helping us.

[scene cuts to Jinn, Falcon, and the Bounters in a base together. They connect into every dragons’ puck in the continent]

BOUNTER #1: Name, Inferno. Age, eleven. Tribe…

FALCON: FlameWings.

BOUNTER #1: FlameWings. Wanted alive, bring him to us. Reward…

JINN: One million credits. No one would resist such a reward. [activates the puck, initiating the bounty] Now we wait.

FALCON: I don’t have time to wait. [walk away from the group and head to find Inferno again]

[scene cuts back to Inferno, Viper, and Attas walking down the street. Inferno glances at some dragons talking with each other, when their wrists suddenly light up, showing the bounty for Inferno. They all suddenly stop talking with each other and take a knife out of their pouch]

INFERNO: Shit. Viper, Attas? [Viper and Attas look at him as he nods at the dragons approaching them] We gotta go.

[the three dragons run down the street as the hunters chase after them. Inferno runs into an alley and climbs up a building. A dragon suddenly comes from a ladder behind him and charges at him with a knife. Inferno grabs his talon and take the knife, stabbing the dragon with it]

INFERNO: [looking down and see Viper and Attas fighting against the hunters] Guys!

[Inferno jumps down from a building and charges at a dragon that’s attacking Attas, tackling him to the side. Inferno then snap the dragon’s neck and look to see other dragons coming after him]

INFERNO: We’re gonna have to go, quick.

[the three dragons run behind a building, where Inferno takes the mini crossbow that Rein has given him. He took a look at it and then peek through a corner and shot a dragon in the chest with it. He then looks behind him and see a plank]

INFERNO: I have an idea.

VIPER: What?

[cuts to Inferno running out into the street, using the plank as a shield. A dragon shoots an arrow at him and he blocks it with the plank, peek through it and fire back at the dragon, killing him. Viper and Attas came from behind him to assist. A dragon is charging at Inferno, but was then shot in the neck by an arrow. Inferno look at where the arrow came from, seeing Rein on the roof of his house with a bow]

REIN: I got your back, come on, go.

[more hunters arrive into the battle with their crossbows, and Inferno, Viper, Attas all hide behind a house as Rein ducks from his roof. He then peek from the roof and fire an arrow at a dragon, killing them. Inferno then peek through a corner and assist Rein]

[a hunter throw a bomb onto the roof of Rein’s house, and he jump off the building as it explodes. Cuts to Attas, picking through her pouch of empty darts. She then fill it with poison and peek around the corner to shoot at the hunters]

VIPER: Wait, what can I do?

REIN: Viper. [slide her another mini crossbow like Inferno and a bag of arrows]

[eventually, the four dragons defeat all the hunters, and the street is filled with dragons’ bodies. Inferno, Viper, Attas, and Rein all head back out to the street, where they are surrounded by guards, all holding spears]

GUARD #2: Drop your weapons, now!

[the dragons put their weapons onto the ground, and behind the guards approach the queen. She seems delighted to see Rein]

QUEEN FLORA: Back to causing trouble, aren’t you, Rein?

[the guards approach the dragons and escort them to the castle. Scene cuts to the castle, where the queen are questioning the dragons]

QUEEN FLORA: Causing public trouble, disturbing the peace within our kingdom. Do you understand what you’re getting yourself into?

INFERNO: Look, those Bounters are hunting for me. I have to defend myself in some way.

QUEEN FLORA: You’re the dragon everyone in this continent has been looking for. [stand up from her throne and take her golden spear. She points it in front of Inferno’s neck] Tell them we have him here.

REIN: Wait, no. Please, Your Majesty, he’s not trying to hurt anybody. All he wanted to do was fix the gem and get back home.

QUEEN FLORA: Rein, why should I trust you? You betrayed the Royalists, remember?

INFERNO: You don’t have to trust him. [take the pouch hanging around Inferno’s neck and show Queen Flora the broken gem] I never meant for all of these to happen, it’s my fault that dragons around the continent are hunting after me. I will do whatever it takes to fix the nightmare, and if you want to stand in my way, either one of us will die.

QUEEN FLORA: [point at Inferno, Viper, and Attas] Take these three to the chamber. [point at Rein] I’ll keep this one with me.

[the guards escort Inferno, Viper, and Attas to the chamber while Rein stays back in the throne room. Scene cuts to Inferno, Viper, and Attas all place into their own cell]

ATTAS: Kind of a dumb thing to say to a queen.

[Inferno is holding the broken gem and looking at it sadly. Viper seems concerned for him and look at him, feeling sympathetic]

VIPER: [to Inferno] We’re gonna get your gem fix, I promise.

[Inferno didn’t answer, still looking at the gem. He then looks up and sees a guard walk past their cell. He then reaches into his pouch and pulls out the necklace]

VIPER: Who gave that to you?

INFERNO: A very special dragon. This reminds me of her for the past few weeks.

[scene cuts to Rein following after Queen Flora as she leads him into a room. Rein then activates a beacon behind his back so Queen Flora can’t see it, and the beacon begin to pinpoint their location]

[scene cuts back to Inferno, Viper, and Attas still in a cell]

ATTAS: How are we gonna get out of here?

[the three dragons suddenly hear a dragon grunting from a distance. And then squint their eyes to see a hooded dragon attacking the guards. Eventually, the dragon took down all the guard and came toward the cells]

PHOENIX: [take his hood down] Hey, everyone.

VIPER: Who are you?

PHOENIX: [break the cell bar, releasing Inferno first] Rein called me here. He pinpoints your location. We’re gonna have to save him.

[scene cuts to the dragons sneaking around in the castle. Two dragons are guarding the door, and Inferno sneaks toward them and knocks both of them out. The four dragons continue heading toward the location of Rein]

PHOENIX: [see Rein in the distance walking with Queen Flora into a room] I see him. Come on.

[the dragons follow after Rein, eventually leading them into a circular room. Inferno sneaks behind Queen Flora as she is about to interrogate Rein. Inferno point a knife right onto her neck]

INFERNO: Let him go, now.

REIN: Inferno? [notice Viper, Attas, and Phoenix in the room] What the hell are all of you doing here? [look at Queen Flora who is raising her talons in the air]

INFERNO: [drive Queen Flora backward until she falls onto a chair] Tie her up.

QUEEN FLORA: [chuckle] You know this is a mistake, right, FlameWing? Pretty soon, my guards will come in here and kill you all.

INFERNO: Yeah, and I don’t pretty much care.

[Queen Flora is tied up with a rope. Inferno lower his knife and interrogate Queen Flora]

INFERNO: Now, what I need you to do is tell me where you keep the map to Kanundra, so we can get it and get out of here.

QUEEN FLORA: It’s in the library. Shelf twelve, section nineteen, scroll seven. The scroll is a decoy, and if you tug on it, the shelf should split apart like a rift, opening a pathway for you to get the map.

VIPER: [to Attas] You think she’s telling the truth?

ATTAS: Unlikely.

INFERNO: [to Phoenix and Rein] You two stay here and watch her. [to Queen Flora] Where’s the library?

QUEEN FLORA: [sigh] A floor above us.

INFERNO: Good. [signal Viper to come with him] Make sure she doesn’t escape.

REIN: Yeah.

[scene cuts to Inferno and Viper sneaking around the castle. Inferno peek through a corner and see a group of guards with spear hanging around and chatting with each other. They are all watching the path that Inferno need to take]

INFERNO: [stop peeking] There’s five of them. [to Viper] Do you think you can at least take down two of them?

VIPER: [sheepishly] I’ve never fought any dragons in my normal self before… [say quickly] but don’t worry, I can try.

INFERNO: We only have one chance at this. There are no tries. [peek through the corner again] They’re pretty distracted right now. If I somehow were able to sneak behind them, I would probably be able to take down two of them.

[Inferno runs through the room and hides behind a column, where he peek through it. He then signal at Viper]

VIPER: [whispering] What?

INFERNO: [whispering] Get your ass over here.

[Viper run through the room, but she accidentally create some noise while running, but was able to hide behind another column before the guards see her]

GUARD #3: What was that?

GUARD #4: I don’t know, let me go and check.

[a guard heads toward to look behind a column, and Viper grabs him as he sees her. The rest of the guards notice and all rush toward where Viper is. From behind, Inferno snaps a guard’s neck and attacks the other three. A guard try to stab Inferno with a spear but Inferno was able to grab the spear out of his talon and stab him on the foot]

INFERNO: Sorry.

[another guard tried to hit Inferno in the snout, but Inferno ducks and kicks the guard in the chest, knocking him backward against the other guard. Viper then punch the guard across the snout, knocking him out]

VIPER: Ha. I got one.

INFERNO: Yeah, pretty good for your first time beating up a bunch of dragons.

VIPER: What do you mean? You’ve done things like this before?

INFERNO: [realized what he just said and sigh] Many times, when I was three. I slaughtered hundreds of dragons in the Night Kingdom. And many more as time went on. [pause for a moment and switch topic] Come on, let’s go.

[Inferno and Viper head down the hallway, where they find a door to the library. Inferno opens the door and peek his head inside, seeing a dark library]

INFERNO: Seems fun. [push the door open and Viper enters] Alright, shelf twelve, section nineteen, and scroll seven.

[the two dragons eventually found the shelf they were looking for, and Inferno dug through until he found section nineteen. He then counted the scroll until he found the seventh one, and he tugged on it hesitantly. The shelf suddenly split in half and open a pathway to a dark room]

VIPER: If what the queen told us was right, the map should be somewhere in here.

[Inferno and Viper walk into the dark room, where everything around them suddenly becomes quiet. Inferno look at Viper as she suddenly evaporate into smoke, but from Viper’s perspective, Inferno turned into smoke]

INFERNO: Viper. Viper. [touch the smoke] What the?

VIPER: Inferno? Inferno. Where did you go?

[the two dragons couldn’t hear each other, as the other from their perspective had turned into smoke. Inferno then turns and sees something glowing in front of him. He approaches it suddenly and see the map, covered in gold]

[Inferno looks at it in amazement, his face lightened from the gold reflecting off his face. He suddenly feel someone coming from behind him and immediately turns around, seeing a ghostly dragon approaching him]

INFERNO: What are you?

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: I am the Guardian of the World. I kept every sacred map within the Rifts. I would assume that you had found one of them. [float toward Inferno and look at the map] Ahh, the map to Kanundra.

INFERNO: You know about it?

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: I know every map of the world. I am basically the eyes that watch over the world of yours.

INFERNO: Am I allowed to take this? [point at the map]

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: You may, but you must understand the consequence. When you entered, another dragon was with you as well. I decided to split you two into two different perspectives. Now, you must make a choice. Take the map right now and leave safely, and your other dragon will be transported to the Genesis. Or, you can reject the offer and give the choice to her. If she takes the map, you will take her consequence.

[scene cuts to Viper’s perspective]

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: … you must wait until he makes his decision. If he chooses to take the map, you will be transported to the Genesis. If he doesn’t, you will be given the choice.

[scene cuts back to Inferno]

INFERNO: What is the Genesis?

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: The end of a soul. It’s when a dragon is erased from the world. Mortals would refer to it as death.

INFERNO: [look at the Guardian of the World] So one of us won’t make it out of here alive.

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: Indeed.

[Inferno looks at the map, tempted to take it. The glow on it still reflects off of Inferno’s face. Inferno breathes slowly and looks at the Guardian of the World, waiting for his decision. Inferno hesitates, and eventually speak to the guardian]

INFERNO: She shouldn’t die trying to help me with my problem. [pause] Give the offer to her. We’ll see what happens.

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: As you wish.

[scene cuts to Viper’s perspective. Her eyes is close as she think she’s about to die]

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: Viper. Inferno has chosen to give you the decision. It is now your turn to choose. [the map suddenly appears on the pedestal, illuminating a golden glow onto Viper’s face]

VIPER: [breath out in relief but is concerned for Inferno] What happens if I reject it, too?

[cuts to Inferno’s perspective]

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: Then both of you will be transported to the Genesis. Both of you will be erased from this world.

INFERNO: Is there a way that I can communicate with her?

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: I can send your message for her.

INFERNO: [take the necklace out of the pouch] Give this to her and tell her to-

[scene cuts back to Viper’s perspective]

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: … he told you to take the map and leave this place. [hold the necklace toward her] He wants you to take this and bring it back to Eternity. He believes that you shouldn’t die from his problem.

VIPER: [hesitates] Uh-

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: He tells you to take it, he’s gonna be fine.

[Viper continues looking at the glowing map, thinking about whether she should take it or not. Suddenly, the ground rumbles and the barrier between their two perspectives drops. Inferno and Viper can now see each other]

INFERNO: Did you take it?

[Viper shakes her head]

INFERNO: [to the Guardian of the World] So what now?

GUARDIAN OF THE WORLD: She hasn’t made her decision yet, and you are given another chance to take the map. Since deciding is so hard for you two, whoever takes the map now will be transported to the Genesis, so you both can have the freedom to make a decision without relying on the other.

[Inferno looks at the map and Viper looks at him in concerned]

VIPER: We won’t be able to get out of here if we don’t take the map. [Inferno turns to look at her] But if we do, one of us will die.

INFERNO: Then it’s gotta be me.

VIPER: What?

INFERNO: For the past few weeks, I’ve gone on a rampage trying to fix the gem. I’ve killed a lot of dragons, I made mistakes, and I don’t want to do it again, not to you. Viper, you made me realize that other dragons have lives, too. I’m not gonna let you die from my problem. You know what I become.

VIPER: Yeah, well, then I don’t want you to do that, okay? You have dragons waiting for you to come back, and I have no one left, so just let me take the map and you can get out of here.

INFERNO: You know you’re a big pain in the ass, right?

VIPER: I’m trying to save your life here.

[Inferno turns to take a look at the glowing map, the Guardian of the World is standing next to it, looking back at the two dragons. Inferno turn back, look at Viper and sigh]

INFERNO: Alright, fine, you can go. [move out of the way for Viper to go to the map]

[Viper smiles and walks past Inferno as he smiles back, but Inferno immediately pulls her backward into the ground]

INFERNO: I’m sorry. [Inferno runs toward the map, but Viper was able to grab his tail and trip him onto the ground]

[Viper runs past Inferno as he looks, but Inferno was able to get to her and knock her to the side. Inferno pins Viper onto the ground as Viper struggles to get up. Her right talon suddenly becomes black, and then turns into black matter. She hits Inferno away and stands back up, running to the map as Inferno chases after her. Viper dives after the map as Inferno was about to reach her, and she touches the map, creating a blinding flashes]

INFERNO: Viper!

[cuts to the outside of the Rifts, the shelf close and Inferno is kneeling on the ground with a glowing map in front of him]

INFERNO: Viper? [turns to the left and sees Viper kneeling on the ground, frozen in stone] Viper. No, no, shit! [pound on the ground]

[scene cuts to Attas, Rein, and Phoenix still in the room with Queen Flora still being tied up]

ATTAS: What’s taking them so long?

QUEEN FLORA: The Rifts is a very unknown place. Things work very differently in there, and sometimes, it could even last forever.

[the dragons suddenly hear footsteps approaching them, revealing Inferno. He walks into the room, and the dragons is relief to see him]

PHOENIX: Oh, you’re back. I thought something happened to you guys.

REIN: Wait, Inferno, where’s Viper?

[Inferno didn’t answer, and the room fell silent. Queen Flora then speak and break the silent]

QUEEN FLORA: She’s dead, isn’t she? [Inferno look at her] The guardian gave both of you a choice to take the map in exchange for the other’s soul.

PHOENIX: Well, what are we gonna do? We can’t just leave this place without her.

REIN: We gotta find a way. Even if there’s a small chance, we still have to save her. If there’s some sort of way where we can get her soul back from the guardian… ugh.

INFERNO: [whisper to himself] This is all my fault.

QUEEN FLORA: There’s nothing you can do. The Rifts had her soul now.

REIN: [to Inferno who seems hopeless] But we can’t just give up. [walk pass Attas who’s thinking about something]

ATTAS: [whisper to herself] Soul. Soul… [to everyone else] I found a way. When we first came into this kingdom, she told us about the Aurora water. Something that can reconnect the soul to the body.

INFERNO: Yeah, that’s it.

ATTAS: [walks over to Queen Flora to interrogate her] Tell us where it is.

QUEEN FLORA: You can go and continue dreaming, HiveWing.

[Queen Flora gave Attas a smirk smile, and Attas stood there looking at her. She then turns around and look at Inferno, and they both smile at each other with the same idea in their minds]

[cuts to the wall of the castle breaking into pieces after Phoenix destroys it, revealing Queen Flora ties onto a chair with Inferno cuffing her wings with wing cuffs. Inferno then push her onto the edge of the castle, leaving her hanging over the edge]

QUEEN FLORA: [terrified while looking down onto the ground] You dragons are insane… a-all of you will be executed for this.

INFERNO: And we don’t pretty much care. Where is it?

QUEEN FLORA: It’s in the laboratory a floor above us. There’s a bottle on a shelf, it’s almost empty. The liquid should be somewhat golden.

REIN: Do you think she’s telling the truth?

INFERNO: We’ll just have to find out. [pull Queen Flora back in] Watch her while I’m away. [Inferno starts running out of the room with a scabbard containing a dagger around his chest]

ATTAS: Will do.

[scene cuts to Inferno running across a wide hallway, looking left and right to make sure no guards spot him. He sneaks around until he reaches the only stair, with ten guards watching it, all holding a crossbow]

INFERNO: Three moons. [hear guards coming from behind him]

[the guards walk past where Inferno is originally at, and once they walk pass, Inferno opens a door of a room he was hiding in]

INFERNO: Twelve of them now. [run back toward the wide hallways, and look around until he sees a balcony]

[Ember suddenly appears next to Inferno without him noticing her]

EMBER: Please don’t tell me you’re about to do it.

INFERNO: [startled] Oh, it’s just you. [sigh] What are you doing here?

EMBER: So you’re really gonna do it?

INFERNO: I have no other choice.

EMBER: There’s a high risk you wouldn’t be able to hold onto and fall to your death, do you realize that?

INFERNO: Yes, I do, mother. [look at the balcony, as the sunlight emits onto his face] It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her soul for the map, and I can’t accept that.

EMBER: Hmm. Just, uh, don’t die, alright?

INFERNO: Hopefully. [Inferno approaches the balcony, and he looks up to the right of him and sees a window of the laboratory in a tower] There it is.

[the two dragons suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind of them, and two guards appear from a corner and see Inferno]

INFERNO: Okay, this is gonna be bad. [jump up and mantle onto the roof of the castle, and begin running toward the tower]

[the guards chase after Inferno, flying after him on the roof with a spear in their talons. Inferno eventually reaches the edge of the roof where he leaps over onto the tower, hanging over it. The two guards went after him and one of the guards attempted to stab Inferno in the back with the spear, but he was able to dodge it. Inferno then grab the spear of the guard as he attempt to stab him again, and Inferno was able to use the spear and stab the guard in the chest, and the guard plummet onto the ground]

INFERNO: That’s one.

[the second guard slash Inferno across the snout with the spear, creating a deep cut in Inferno snout. Inferno grabs the guard spear as the guard pulls onto it, eventually leading to both of them losing their grips on the spear and it drops onto the ground. The guard pull Inferno backward onto a bridge of the castle, and they both drop on it]

[Inferno stands up painfully, looking at the guard who is standing in front of him. The guard reach to a communicator on his ear, and then touches it]

GUARD #5: [to the other guards through the communicator] I have eyes on the FlameWing. West bridge.

INFERNO: You don’t want to do this.

GUARD #5: [disconnect from the other guards] Oh, I do. [pull a dagger from his pouch]

INFERNO: Fine. [pull a dagger from his shabbard] We’ll do it your way.

[the guard charges at Inferno with the dagger, slashing him as he dodges them. Inferno kicks the guard over the bridge as the guard regains his balance and flies toward him again. Inferno tries to run toward the door of the tower, but the guard tackles him on the ground. The guard takes his dagger and tries to stab Inferno in the head but misses him by an inch. Inferno looks at the dagger next to his head in fear and throws the guard away from him]

INFERNO: [stand back up] Can you just calm down for a moment?

[the guard charges at Inferno again with the dagger, jumping up in the air and trying to stab Inferno from above. Inferno grabs the guard talon to try to hold back the dagger, which is right in front of his face as the guard tries to push harder. Inferno, now irritated, twist the guard’s wrist and kick him away]

INFERNO: Fine, you wanna kill me so badly? [walk toward with his arms out as the guard stands up] Come and kill me.

[Inferno gets closer to the guard, who swings his dagger at Inferno but he misses. Inferno then punches the guard hard across the snout, causing him to drop the dagger and blood drip onto the bridge from his snout. Inferno approaches the guard again, grabs him in the neck and slam him onto the ground. Inferno stands there, watching the guard laying on the ground with blood on his face. Suddenly, Attas appears in front of him, watching in horror at the guard and Inferno]

ATTAS: What did you do?

INFERNO: [look at the guard and then back at Attas] I… I lost myself.

ATTAS: I thought you could change. Viper thought you could change.

[Inferno stood there, and more guards with spears started running toward them from behind Viper]

INFERNO: We have to move. Come on.

[Viper and Inferno ran toward the door of the tower, and they went inside. Inferno then lock the door, leaving the two dragons to be trapped inside]

ATTAS: Oh, three moons, we’re so dead.

INFERNO: [leaning against a wall and sigh, pause, and then speak] Where’s uh, Rein and Phoenix?

ATTAS: Still watching the queen. Hopefully they’re fine, though.

INFERNO: I’m sorry… about what happened back there. I know that none of you trust me, but-

[Inferno suddenly stopped speaking, and he just stood there without a single movement. Attas notice something is wrong and walk a bit closer to Inferno]

ATTAS: FlameWing? Hello?

INFERNO: Hold on, quiet down. [doesn’t make any noise for a moment] Do you hear that?

ATTAS: [nod] Yeah, someone is groaning.

[Inferno walks up the stairs of the tower, followed by Attas. The two dragons eventually reached a room with a dragon inside, coughing and then turning around to face them]

IOM: Hello. What are you two doing here?

INFERNO: [confused] Who are you?

IOM: Iom? The scientist? The most prominent dragon of the kingdom? Oh, are you the test subjects the queen promised me, because I have some uh… [walk over to a jar of purple liquid and picks it up] test to run with my new-

INFERNO: No, we’re not test subjects.

ATTAS: Uh, Iom the scientist, I’m just gonna cut you right there for a moment.

IOM: Red dragon.

INFERNO: Yeah?

IOM: If you don’t mind me asking, why are your wings like that?

INFERNO: [look at his destroyed wings] Uh, some dumbasses destroyed it.

IOM: Why?

INFERNO: Basically, I used to own this gem that contains my power and anything to do with FlameWings. It was destroyed recently and I lost my power so dragons across the world are hunting for me.

IOM: Oh… okay. So what are you two here for?

ATTAS: Well, our friend’s soul was taken by the Rifts and we’re trying to find the Aurora water thingy to bring her back.

INFERNO: Problem is there’s a bunch of guards around the castle and we couldn’t find a way to get to the laboratory.

IOM: The Aurora water?

INFERNO: Yeah, do you know anything about it?

IOM: I do, yes. Actually, I made it.

INFERNO: What?

IOM: Mhm. Here’s a fun fact, it took me over five years to eventually create it.

ATTAS: Wow, that must've been a very long time.

IOM: Here’s another fun fact, I’ve been stuck in this tower for the past ten years.

INFERNO: What, ten years? In this small cramped room alone?

IOM: Yeah, Her Majesty dumped me in this tower after using me to help her create the Aurora water.

INFERNO: And now she has it in the laboratory?

IOM: Yes.

ATTAS: Can you help us get to the laboratory?

IOM: For what?

INFERNO: The Aurora water.

IOM: Oh, we don’t have to. Because… [slowly walk over to a shelf and open it, revealing twenty jars full of Aurora water] being stuck in this tower has bored me many times.

[Iom took one of the jar and hand it to Inferno]

IOM: Take this and bring your friend back.

INFERNO: Thank you.

IOM: I wish you the best of luck.

[Inferno and Attas was about to leave the tower, but Inferno stops and look back at Iom, who’s getting back to working on his potions]

INFERNO: We can get you out of here… that is, if only you wanted to.

[Iom turns to look at Inferno and smiles. Scene cuts to Inferno, Attas, and Iom sneaking around the castle again, finding their way towards the library where they finds Viper’s body, still being frozen in stone]

IOM: [walks forward with the Aurora water in his talons, and crouches down to drop the liquid onto Viper’s head] Alright, here goes nothing.

[the dragons waited there for a moment, looking at Viper, who’s still frozen. Inferno then notice some small movements from her body, the stone slowly cracking]

IOM: Oh, three moons.

[Viper eventually was set free and she looks at the three dragons in surprise]

IOM: Hello.

[scene cuts back to Rein and Phoenix with Queen Flora still tied to the chair. They hear footsteps approaching them and hold their weapons toward the door, which opens to reveal Inferno, Viper, Attas, and Iom, who’s carrying a bag full of useful scrolls from the library]

INFERNO: [referring about Queen Flora] Rein, you can throw her off the building.

QUEEN FLORA: What?!

REIN: [excited] Wait, really?

VIPER: He’s kidding. [to Inferno] You were not serious, right?

INFERNO: Come on, we gotta get outta here quick.

PHOENIX: What about the queen?

INFERNO: Just leave her here. Let’s go, the guards know we’re here.

[scene cuts to the dragons sneaking around the castle, trying to find the exit. Inferno peek through a corner and see a patrol of six guards running across the hall]

INFERNO: They’re probably looking for the queen right now.

ATTAS: The entire castle should be on high security currently. [to Iom] Hey, scientist, you work here, do you know any other exits?

IOM: I know an underground system that leads to a cave outside of the kingdom.

ATTAS: Yeah, that’ll work.

[scene cuts to the group of dragons breaking down a locked door, revealing a circular staircase to the underground system]

PHOENIX: I don’t like what’s up ahead.

INFERNO: Yeah, it’s that or being captured by the guards. Trust me, I’ve been in a lot of those situations and they always end up being the worst experience.

IOM: [walk in front of Inferno and down the staircase] Enough talking, let’s just go.

[the group of dragons reached the bottom of the staircase, revealing a long, dark tunnel]

INFERNO: Anyone here can breathe fire?

[all the dragons looked at each other, waiting for someone to respond, but there’s only silence]

INFERNO: Phoenix, can you breathe fire?

PHOENIX: Uh, why me?

INFERNO: Well, uh, your name is Phoenix, you should be able to, right?

PHOENIX: I actually can’t.

INFERNO: This is gonna be a lot worse than it already is.

[the dragons walk down the tunnel while staying close to the wall, all in a single file. Eventually, Inferno see some lights ahead]

INFERNO: There’s the exit.

IOM: Guards should be watching the exit around this time.

VIPER: How many of them are there?

IOM: Usually around twelve, maybe more, maybe less, nothing is guaranteed.

ATTAS: Are we far enough from the kingdom to use our powers yet?

VIPER: Let’s test it out. [transform into her black matter form and back to her normal self] Yep.

[scene cuts to the outside, some guards are walking around and talking with each other when black goo were shot from the cave and attached themselves onto the guards body. The guards all look at the black goo in confusion when it suddenly explode, knocking them all out]

[the dragons walk out of the cave, all adjusting to the lights and look at the unconscious guards]

INFERNO: That was nice.

REIN: Well, there goes my stay. [sigh]

VIPER: Yeah, sorry about that, we’ll find you a new place to stay.

ATTAS: Let’s get farther from the kingdom first, then we can discuss that later.

IOM: I know somewhere we can go… and maybe get your gem back, too.

[cuts to the queen still in the room, tied to a chair when a group of guards arrived. The guards untied Queen Flora, and she stood up and look around the room for a moment]

QUEEN FLORA: [referring about the group of dragons] Where are they?

GUARD #6: Some of the guards have contact with them but none were able to capture them.

GUARD #7: The FlameWing was able to kill one of our troops, however.

GUARD #6: What about the citizens, how should we warn them about these fugitives?

QUEEN FLORA: Nothing. The public should not know about this.

GUARD #6: [nod] Yes.

QUEEN FLORA: Prepare the others. We will make them pay for what they’ve done.

GUARD #7: Understood, Your Majesty.

[scene cuts to the dragons arriving at the border of a large city. Everyone except for Iom look around in amazement]

[SCREEN TITLE: ENLIGHTENED CITY]

IOM: You know, before I worked for Queen Flora, I was a soldier who fought in the Battle of Goranis.

INFERNO: The Battle of Goranis?

VIPER: One of the most famous battles in Versegar.

IOM: Indeed. And I remembered everything in that battle. I was out in the field kicking asses along with my other fellow soldiers and uh… [remember all his fellow soldiers died in the battle] They’re all dead, you know, so does it really matter anyway?

REIN: Oh, I’m sorry about that.

IOM: Don’t be. [switches topic] So, FlameWing, what is the FlameWings Gem?

INFERNO: [distracted from the city view] Huh? Sorry, I was distracted. Can you repeat that?

IOM: What was the FlameWings Gem, and why was it so important to you?

INFERNO: It was something very special to me. It holds the legacy of my tribe, who were all slaughtered when I was two, except for my friend, Scorch. She’s probably somewhere out there in the world, having the time of her life right now.

[Inferno look at Phoenix, who signal to him that he’s getting a bit off-track]

INFERNO: Back to the FlameWings Gem, uh, the entire tribe’s powers are stored in the gem, including mine. When it was destroyed, I lost my powers, so I’m just a normal FlameWing assassin being hunted by the entire world.

[Attas continue walking forward while Iom walks backward, looking at Inferno as he’s interested about the gem]

ATTAS: Okay, that’s great and all but [to Iom] when are we gonna get there?

IOM: We’re close.

ATTAS: Okay, where are we going?

IOM: There’s a giant stadium at the center of the city, home to some of the strongest and smartest dragons in the world. [to Inferno] If anyone can help you get your gem back, it’s them.

INFERNO: Yeah, right, at least half of them would probably want to kill me.

IOM: What did you do to piss off that many dragons, anyway?

INFERNO: Uh… I’ll tell you later.

PHOENIX: If we wanna go in there, without you being seen, of course, we’re gonna need some disguises.

VIPER: [holding multiple cloaks, enough for all of them] Well, lucky for you, I already figured it’s gonna be a problem when we’re here.

[scene cuts to the dragons arriving at the entrance of the stadium, Inferno looks around to make sure no one notice he’s there]

VIPER: What are you doing?

INFERNO: Just making sure some dumbasses didn’t notice me.

[the dragons eventually finds themselves a place to sit down, and Inferno pull his cloak to cover more of his face]

INFERNO: So what now?

IOM: We’ll wait.

REIN: Wait? For who?

IOM: The All-Knowing Sovereign.

REIN: Who?

[there was suddenly a loud boom, and all the dragons turned their heads toward the noise coming from the sky. A large staircase hovered into the air, making way for Sovereign as Inferno squinted his eyes to look closer]

[Sovereign walks down the stairs, and dragons in the audience begin cheering for him. Sovereign looks around the crowd as they continue cheering]

SOVEREIGN: Your king is here.

[dragons cheer louder as Inferno and his group look around in confusion except for Iom]

INFERNO: That’s… the dragon?

IOM: Yes, the greatest there is.

[Sovereign raises his talon toward the entrance of the stadium, and a golden staff fly toward and into his talon]

SOVEREIGN: Ahh, here you are, my golden staff.

INFERNO: This dragon doesn’t seem worth my time.

IOM: Come on, just wait for a while and then we can ask him to help you fix your gem.

INFERNO: Can he really do that?

IOM: He claims that he can do anything, so I don’t know for sure.

INFERNO: Okay, yeah, this is a waste of time. [stand up and begin to leave]

IOM: Hey, don’t leave.

SOVEREIGN: [notice Inferno leaving the stadium] Dragon in the blue cloak, where do you think you’re going?

VIPER: Oh, shit.

INFERNO: [turn around to face Sovereign] Uh…

SOVEREIGN: Did you try to leave during my presentation?

INFERNO: Well, yeah, I just don’t find it interesting.

[dragons in the audience all gasped after they heard what Inferno just said]

SOVEREIGN: [a bit offended] Okay. Fine, you can leave.

INFERNO: That’s just it?

SOVEREIGN: Yes. You can leave.

[Inferno turns and walks toward the exit when he is suddenly teleported into the front of the stage. Inferno look at the audience in confusion]

VIPER: What the hell?

[Inferno turn back to look at Sovereign but only to see him right in front of him]

INFERNO: Woah, when did you get there?

SOVEREIGN: I am Sovereign, I can do anything.

INFERNO: [to himself] So Iom was right.

[Inferno was suddenly teleported into the center of the stage, and he look at Sovereign]

SOVEREIGN: [in a low tone] Show me who you are.

INFERNO: [couldn’t hear Sovereign from afar] What?

SOVEREIGN: [in a loud tone] Show me who you are!

INFERNO: Okay, okay, I will. [slowly take the cloak off, revealing himself to everyone in the stadium]

[the audience all gasped and began talking to each other about Inferno. Sovereign look at Inferno in surprise]

SOVEREIGN: You’re the FlameWing everyone's been talking about.

INFERNO: You know me?

SOVEREIGN: Bounty for you has been rising every day. The entire world is looking for you.

INFERNO: Oh, three moons.

SOVEREIGN: Guards! Take the FlameWing away.

[guards in gold armor begin marching down onto the stage from their station. Inferno looks around when silver chains grow from the ground and attach themselves onto his wrists]

[up in the audience, Viper is watching as the guards slowly approach Inferno with their spears from all sides]

VIPER: We should help him.

REIN: Yeah, we definitely should.

[Rein pull out a knife from his pouch and fly down onto the stage as Viper transform into her black matter form]

[the two dragons land on the stage and begin attacking the guards. Viper unleash a black matter strand that sticks onto a guard and she flings them onto the crowd]

INFERNO: [try to punch a guard in the snout but hit him in the helmet, enough to knock him out] Ow. [shaking his talon in pain]

REIN: [put a guard in a headlock and knock him unconscious] FlameWing, watch out!

[a small fireball was shot at Inferno, but he was able to dodge it and look at Sovereign, who have more in his talons]

SOVEREIGN: This will be where you die, FlameWing.

INFERNO: Only if you catch me first.

[Inferno runs toward another guard while dodging the fireballs fired by Sovereign. Inferno roll under the guard’s spear and hit him in the back, then snapping his arm]

[Attas and Phoenix join the fight, along with Iom who slowly makes his way down onto the stage. Sovereign, now more irritated, raises his talons into the air and golden guards begin summoning from the ground]

ATTAS: What the hell are these things?

INFERNO: Let’s find out. [catch a dagger that Rein throw for him, and stab one of the golden guards, who body disintegrated into dust]

VIPER: [shoot a black venom ball at a group of golden guards charging towards her, bursting and disintegrating all of them] There’s more of them.

INFERNO: [to Iom] Scientist, this place sucks.

PHOENIX: We have to take down Sovereign so he can’t summon more of these things.

INFERNO: Yeah, on it.

[Inferno charges toward Sovereign as he fires more fireballs. As Sovereign shoots another fireball at him, Inferno was able to grab it and throw it back at Sovereign, causing an explosion and knocking Sovereign backward]

[Inferno approaches Sovereign, who’s on the ground, trying to stand up after the explosion. Inferno grabs Sovereign and turn him around]

[Sovereign’s necklace suddenly glows in a purple hue and blasts Inferno backward. Inferno stands up slowly and see Sovereign calling his golden staff into his talon]

SOVEREIGN: We could’ve done this easily, FlameWing. You know, for a powerless dragon like you, it’s surprising how you were even able to make it here.

[Sovereign then switches his staff into a spear, and he throws it at Inferno, who dodges it. Sovereign then recalls the spear and it fly back into his talon when Inferno suddenly catches it]

SOVEREIGN: [look at Inferno with the spear in his talon] Impossible.

INFERNO: [charging up the spear when his eyes glow white] Oh, it is very possible.

[Inferno throws the spear right at Sovereign, impaling him. Sovereign looks at the hole in his body in horror as Inferno calls the spear back into his talon]

[Sovereign collapse onto the ground, and all the golden guards suddenly disintegrated]

INFERNO: Don’t call me powerless.

PHOENIX: [notice Sovereign on the ground and Inferno with the golden spear in his talon] What did you do?

[Viper transform into her normal form]

INFERNO: I did what I had to. Come on, we gotta get out of here.

[all the dragons lift into the air and fly toward the exit, Rein and Viper carrying Inferno using the rope. Inferno with the golden spear still in his talon. Scene cuts to the dragons flying away from Enlightened City]

[cuts to Falcon, Jinn, and multiple Bounters arriving in Aurora Kingdom. Falcon is holding many daggers in his talons, walking toward the castle]

FALCON: [to Jinn and the Bounters] Search the kingdom.

JINN: Alright. What about you?

FALCON: The queen and I will have a little chat.

[Jinn nods and walks away with the Bounters, searching for Inferno. Scene cuts to Falcon arriving at the castle, and he is stopped by a guard]

GUARD #8: Hey, you’re not allowed to be here.

FALCON: [tilt his head to the side] Really?

[Falcon ordered one of his daggers using his wind power to shoot at the guard’s neck, killing him. The guard collapse on the ground as Falcon walks into the castle]

[inside the castle, Falcon fires his daggers at two other guards that was guarding the door]

[Falcon opens the door, revealing a patrol of twelve dragons. Upon seeing Falcon, the guards immediately charge at him. Falcon orders his daggers to fire at the guards, penetrating them one by one. As the last guard was left standing, Falcon uses his wind power to lift the guard and slam him against the wall. He then pull the guard into his talon, and interrogates him]

FALCON: Where’s your queen?

GUARD #9: I don’t know where she is. Please, I swear! [shakes in fear as blood trickling down his temple]

FALCON: Okay. Fine. [places the guard down onto the ground as he continue trembling in fear]

[Falcon walks away, leaving the guard to stand there in a room filled with dead guards. Suddenly, a dagger came out of nowhere and penetrates through his neck, and he collapses on the ground, dead]

[scene cuts to upstair, where Queen Flora orders her guards to protect her as she runs away and hide inside a small room]

[Falcon arrives to the hallway, seeing a bunch of guards in their positions, ready to fight him]

FALCON: You’re making a big mistake, do you know that?

GUARD #10: [trembling in fear] Crawl back into whatever cave you came out of, you monster.

FALCON: Fine. [order his daggers to hover beside him] This will be your last moment.

[cuts to Queen Flora hiding inside the room, leaning against the door and trying to stay as quiet as possible. She hears guards outside the room, groaning as they’re being slowly slaughtered by Falcon]

[suddenly, everything becomes quiet outside. Out of nowhere, a dagger was shot through the door and stabbed Queen Flora in the arm. She let out a scream and the door is pull open by Falcon using his wind power]

[Falcon crouch beside Queen Flora, who was wincing from the dagger on her arm]

FALCON: Where’s the FlameWing?

QUEEN FLORA: [wincing in pain] I don’t know…

FALCON: [louder] Where is he?

QUEEN FLORA: I don’t know where he went. He came into the castle with a group of dragons and threatened me. They took the map and left, I don’t know where they went after that.

FALCON: [order a dagger to hover in front of Queen Flora’s neck] You know I can kill at any given moment, right?

QUEEN FLORA: Please…

FALCON: Last chance.

QUEEN FLORA: [remember what Inferno asked her] Kanundra. They’re heading to Kanundra.

FALCON: [order the dagger to hover away from Queen Flora] Where is that?

QUEEN FLORA: At the center of the continent. It’s a hidden place where anything can be granted to a dragon at a price.

FALCON: He’s trying to fix the gem. [order the dagger on Queen Flora’s arm back]

[scene cuts to Falcon flying away from the castle, and Jinn and the Bounters spotted him]

JINN: Now where the hell are you going?

[cuts to Inferno and the group of dragons taking a break after a long flight. Iom and Rein are reading the scrolls that Iom stole from the library earlier. Phoenix and Attas are sitting on the ground, relaxing while Inferno and Viper are having a talk with each other]

INFERNO: [holding the golden spear] You know, before I lost my power, I was able to create some sort of spear out of just fire.

VIPER: What else can you do?

INFERNO: I was also able to open portals.

VIPER: [amaze] What, really?

INFERNO: Yeah, but only to places that I know… or to dragons that I know. [changing the golden spear into a staff and back into a spear]

VIPER: So before all these things happened, what were you like, except just killing dragons?

INFERNO: I was trained to become an assassin at the age of one. Then a tribe called NightWings invaded and killed everyone, except for another FlameWing named Scorch and I.

VIPER: Oh, that must’ve been pretty devastating.

INFERNO: It was. [sadden] I went on a rampage a while after that happened and killed hundreds of NightWings.

INFERNO: Then I was hunted by them, but I was ultimately able to resolve that problem. And many more things happened after that, like this one time when many dragons and I had to defend a continent from a queen from another continent that’s trying to control everyone.

VIPER: That seems like fun.

INFERNO: What about you? What were you like before you had your power?

VIPER: [remembers what happened and starts feeling sad] I grew up not knowing who my parents were. I spent my first five years in a place with many other dragonets who never get to know their parents. There was this one day, when I woke up in a whole different place. I didn’t know where I was taken to, and for the next week or so, I was tortured in some of the most brutal forms a dragon can imagine. Then I was injected with some sort of black liquid that affects my genes and turns me into a venom creature.

VIPER: Sometimes, maybe having powers isn’t as good as it seems. [smiles and Inferno smiles back]

INFERNO: I remember the day when I touched the gem. It was like a connection that can’t be separated. It gave me the sort of power called Infinite Magic, that’s why I was able to open portals and do crazy shit.

VIPER: [surprise] Wait, you’re an Infinite?

INFERNO: You know about it?

VIPER: Yeah. Basically any dragons that got their powers from encountering with-

INFERNO: A natural chaos, therefore charging their body with phenomenal amounts of energy. Except it wasn’t chaos when I got mine from the gem.

VIPER: Does your body feel like it’s boiling inside every time?

INFERNO: Uh, no, not really.

REIN: [calling out to Inferno and Viper] Guys, we may have a little problem.

[Inferno and Viper head over to Rein, who’s holding a scroll with Iom looking at it]

INFERNO: What is it?

REIN: Well, Kanundra is a very well-hidden place. To get to it, you need some sort of magical key.

ATTAS: [arriving to the group] Do you know where it is?

REIN: Yeah, I do.

ATTAS: Then it’s gonna be easy. Just get to the key, maybe punch a few dragons here and there.

REIN: That’s not the problem. The place where the key is located is Guera, a city in the center of the continent, and an attraction spot to most Bounters. It’s highly likely that Falcon and other dragons are currently there or heading there.

PHOENIX: So what can we do?

REIN: Our only options are to either have Inferno in disguises, like maybe paints, cloaks, or to have him just wait somewhere and we’ll retrieve the key for him.

INFERNO: I’ll take the disguises.

[scene cuts to nighttime, the group of dragons have settled down in a different area to rest for the night. Inferno is sitting on a tree, looking at the three moons in the sky while the rest of the group are asleep]

[Inferno sighs while reading a scroll about Guera and Kanundra. He’s currently biting onto a stick with fire burning on the other side, using it as a light source]

INFERNO: [talking to himself] Guera… sacrificing what a dragon needs for what they want? What?

INFERNO: What beyond Kanundra is a place for sacrifices. Kanundra is a special mountain created when the continents collide.

[Ember suddenly appears next to Inferno, looking at the scroll Inferno is holding]

EMBER: What are you reading?

INFERNO: Oh, hey, mother. [hold up the scroll] Just reading some stuff about Kanundra and this one city, trying to learn more stuff about those places to ensure that this mission doesn’t fail.

EMBER: Mission?

INFERNO: Yeah, I was able to find a group of dragons that can help me fix my gem. You probably haven’t met some of them yet, they’re sleeping down there. [point at the dragons that are sleeping next to a campfire that has been put out]

EMBER: That’s surprising.

INFERNO: Mhm.

EMBER: [float next to Inferno and sit with him] Do you have the gem?

INFERNO: Yes.

EMBER: Can I see it?

INFERNO: [pulling the pouch off his neck and taking the FlameWings Gem] Nothing has changed ever since it was broken. The orange glow on it has faded over time, though.

EMBER: [inspecting the gem] That’s not a good sign.

INFERNO: Of course it’s not.

EMBER: [split the gem into multiple parts and look at each piece one by one] The entanglement of this gem is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Everything is a mess in the gem.

EMBER: [talking to Inferno while inspecting the gem pieces] What did you do to it?

INFERNO: It wasn’t me.

EMBER: Then who did it?

INFERNO: Some dumbass.

EMBER: Oh, I found something. [hover a specific piece of the gem for Inferno to see]

INFERNO: What is that?

EMBER: Your powers. [point at the piece] See how it’s completely colorless?

INFERNO: Huh. What else is in the gem?

EMBER: Let me see. [hover the powers piece back to the rest] Oh, here’s legacy. Still bright orange as long as our legacy lives. Ah, well.

[Ember hovers the piece back to the rest and pull another from the pile that is colorless with only a bit of orange left]

INFERNO: Now what is that?

EMBER: Dragons. That explains the gray area since almost the entire tribe are dead. [point at the orange part] This would definitely be you and Scorch.

EMBER: Speaking of Scorch, have you ever got in touch with her lately? [give Inferno the gem back]

INFERNO: [sheepishly] No… mostly because I was busy. Jade Mountain was a whole new era, then I had to fight against threats from other continents with a bunch of other dragons. Also, there was this one time when Jinn’s sister came and threatened Turtle.

EMBER: Who is that?

INFERNO: Which “who” are you talking about? Jinn, his sister, or Turtle?

EMBER: All three.

INFERNO: Jinn’s sister was Shadow, and she’s basically a dragon whose goal was to eliminate all of the strongest and most powerful dragons in the world.

EMBER: Did she try to kill you?

INFERNO: Of course. It was a pain in the ass, though.

INFERNO: Anyway, next, I only knew about Jinn after Shadow was killed. I believe he’s currently teamed up with Falcon to try and kill me.

[Ember is nodding and being interested in the explanation]

INFERNO: Turtle, he’s an animus SeaWing. Shadow was hunting him for a while, even though animus magic was eradicated.

EMBER: Ahh…

INFERNO: [thinking for a moment] Uh, what else happened?

EMBER: Alright, let’s just stop talking about those things.

INFERNO: Yeah, I should probably stop.

EMBER: So how was the past few days of continuous hiding and running from dragons?

INFERNO: Thinking about it, it’s not as bad as it seems. Really put the thrill into life, you know? We only have one life, so maybe enjoy it to the fullest.

EMBER: Yeah.

EMBER: You know, way before you hatched, I had this group of dragons, I think somewhere around ten to twelve of them. We were captured and put into a place full of many other dragons. The dragons who captured us were experimenting on us to figure out if any of us are easier to attract Infinite Magic and turn us into weapons.

INFERNO: So what did you do?

EMBER: We formed a group, to try and fight our way out of there. We lost many dragons along the way, but it didn’t stop us, because after everything we’ve been through and the dragons we lost, there would be no reason for us to stop.

INFERNO: Mhm.

EMBER: [looking at the dragons still sleeping on the ground] Those dragons you have that are helping you, they’re special. Protect them at all costs.

INFERNO: I would never let anyone hurt them.

EMBER: [body starts fading until dust] Well, I think it’s my time to head back.

INFERNO: To the Afterworld?

EMBER: Mhm. This was a special moment. I’ll definitely come back as soon as possible. [body completely fade]

[Inferno sits by himself on the tree, with the FlameWings Gem in his talon. He puts the gem back into the pouch and wears it around his neck. Inferno looks at the three moons again, feeling more hopeful than before]

[Inferno curl his tail around the tree branch, and hang himself over the branch]

INFERNO: [thinking about something, and then reaching back into the pouch and pulling out the destroyed gem] Alright, last try.

[Inferno closes his eyes and concentrate while holding onto the gem tightly]

INFERNO: Master Singe? Can you hear me?

[there were no responses, and Inferno sighs. Inferno then decides to try one more time]

INFERNO: Master Singe?

[Inferno were suddenly transported into a mysterious realm. He looks around, seeing a giant forest in the distance and a staircase in front of him. Inferno walks up the wooden stair, making creaking noises as he steps on them]

[Inferno walks up the staircase, getting closer to the mountain peak. Strong winds are blowing at his head as he eventually reached the top]

INFERNO: [see a dragon standing below an arch] Master?

MASTER SINGE: [turn around and see Inferno] Hello, Inferno. So how have you been?

INFERNO: Things are still the same… except worse.

MASTER SINGE: I can tell. [turn right to look at the void, displaying everything Inferno has been through] I’ve been watching you a lot lately.

INFERNO: [turn to look at the void] Oh, three moons.

MASTER SINGE: [still looking at the void and cringing from watching Inferno being burned by a flame sword] Yeah, that’s not good.

INFERNO: So why didn’t you answer when I tried to reach you before?

MASTER SINGE: I want you to be able to figure it out yourself. I’m dead, and I can’t always be there to defend you.

INFERNO: Then why now?

MASTER SINGE: Because you did. You’ve learned to defend dragons you love. There is more to this world than taking others’ lives.

INFERNO: Falcon, he’s too far gone, I can’t stop him. And if I try to… we all know what will happen. Without the gem, I can’t-

MASTER SINGE: The gem? You are more than just your powers. I survived over half of my life without any powers.

INFERNO: I wish I were like you. I need your guidance.

MASTER SINGE: No, you don’t. You are more than me, and every FlameWings. You just have to try and find the potential.

[Master Singe turns and leave, fading as he walk further away from Inferno]

[Inferno wakes up in the tree again, and he loses his balance and falls off the tree]

INFERNO: Ow. [checking his talon to make sure the gem is still there] Thank the moons. [sigh in relief]

[Inferno looks over at the group of dragons who are still sleeping. He walks over to them and sit there, watching as he put the gem back into the pouch]

EMBER (V.O): Those dragons you have that are helping you, they’re special. Protect them at all costs.

[Inferno lay down and went to sleep. Cuts to later, when Inferno is having a nightmare of him killing dragons]

VILLAGER #1: Kill the FlameWing.

VILLAGER #2: He’s a monster!

VILLAGER #3: Please, someone help us.

[Inferno groans and then wakes up. Breathing for air and holding his head]

INFERNO: [feeling slightly dizzy] Oh, crap. [look over as the rest of the dragons are still sleeping]

[Inferno then notices that Phoenix is missing. He looks around for a moment and begins searching for him. As Inferno walks away from the rest of the dragons, he held his talon out and the golden spear fly into it]

[cuts to Inferno in a forest, looking for Phoenix]

INFERNO: Phoenix? Where are you?

INFERNO: [muttering to himself] Where the hell can this dragon be?

[there are birds making noises as Inferno walks deeper into the forest. Inferno activates the golden spear and it begin glowing]

INFERNO: Phoenix?

[Inferno eventually spotted Phoenix sitting by himself next to a small lake. Inferno approaches Phoenix while holding the spear]

INFERNO: Hey, what are you doing up this late at night?

PHOENIX: Oh, I just had a bad dream and came here to have some peace in my mind.

INFERNO: Bad dream, huh? Yeah, I get those all the time. [sit next to Phoenix] So what was it?

PHOENIX: What?

INFERNO: What did you dream of?

PHOENIX: I saw a continent being split in half as dragons flee from it. And then I saw the entire world corrupting into darkness.

INFERNO: It’s that bad?

PHOENIX: Yeah.

INFERNO: I can imagine it being that way.

[there were suddenly rustling noises coming from a bush. Inferno and Phoenix turns to look at where the noise came from]

INFERNO: Did you hear that?

PHOENIX: Mhm, yeah.

INFERNO: [hold the spear toward the bush] Get back to the others. Make sure they’re safe.

PHOENIX: On it. [runs back to the rest of the dragons]

[Inferno charges up the golden spear and slowly approaches the bush. There are more rustling noises as he get closer, and eventually something pounce on him]

[Inferno immediately switches the spear into the staff and hits the creature onto the ground. He pin the creature down with the staff and check it out]

[the creature is revealed to be a bigger form of a salamander with wings. The creature snarls at Inferno and breathe a bolt of lighting at him, who dodges it easily]

INFERNO: What the hell are you?

[Inferno notices the creature begins to flail around slower than before, so he lifts the staff and sets the creature free. The creature immediately fly away from Inferno, looking back at him]

INFERNO: [breathing slowly and approaching the salamander] You don’t have to be scared.

[the salamander stood there as Inferno got close enough to pet it. As Inferno’s talon contact with the salamander’s skin, the salamander coos]

INFERNO: [letting his talon off] So you can breathe lightning?

[the salamander tilted its head to the side. Inferno stands back up]

INFERNO: Right, you can't understand me. Uh, well… I have to get back to the others before they begin to panic.

[the salamander squeaks and strikes into the sky, creating multiple strands of blue lighting. Cuts to the salamander still striking across the sky, eventually reaching a speed so fast it was transported to a different realm]

[cuts back Inferno, who is holding the golden spear still being lit up. Inferno turns and walk back to where the rest of the group is]

INFERNO: [to himself] I should get back to the others.

[scene cuts to the morning, when everyone is awake. Inferno is putting on the disguise while the rest prepares their belongings]

IOM: [to Inferno] You slept well last night?

INFERNO: Yeah, it was nice.

[Iom smiles and heads to the others. Phoenix then came beside Inferno and lean over to whisper to him]

PHOENIX: So what was it?

INFERNO: What?

PHOENIX: The thing last night. When the bush rustled and you told me to head back to the others.

INFERNO: Oh, right, it’s a salamander, bigger than usual, and it can fly like us.

PHOENIX: Really? That sounds weird.

INFERNO: Yeah, and after talking with it for awhil-

PHOENIX: [excited] You talked with it?

INFERNO: It doesn't understand me, so don’t get too excited.

PHOENIX: Oh.

INFERNO: Anyway, after I talked with it, it shot itself into the sky and created a burst of lightning.

PHOENIX: Mhm, I saw it back at camp.

INFERNO: Oh, great.

PHOENIX: Did you tell the others about it?

INFERNO: No, not yet. Should I, though?

ATTAS: [holding the map to Kanundra and calling out to Inferno and Phoenix] Hey, are you two coming or not?

INFERNO: We’re coming.

REIN: [to Attas] Wonder what those two are talking about. You think they’re hiding anything from us?

ATTAS: Maybe.

[Inferno and Phoenix walks toward the rest of the group, who are still waiting for them]

ATTAS: What were you two talking about?

INFERNO: [sigh and nod] Last night, Phoenix and I both had a nightmare. So we went to a nearby lake, where we heard rustling noises coming from a nearby bush-

PHOENIX: And then he told me to head back to you guys.

INFERNO: Yes. Anyway, I was able to pin down the thing in the bush and it turns out to be this one salamander that can shoot lightning.

IOM: [excited] Wait, really?

INFERNO: What? Do you know something about it?

IOM: Yeah, I was studying about it a while back. They’re called World Shatterers.

VIPER: Why?

IOM: They’re not from this world. They’re from another realm no one ever heard of. Their body can create an extreme amount of energy that can be used to travel at the speed of lightning.

VIPER: And then what happened?

IOM: Once they reach maximum speed, they can create a rift between our realm and theirs… it’s basically a crack in the sky.

REIN: So what you’re telling us is that somewhere out there beyond our knowledge are some other realms that’s home to electric salamanders?

IOM: Yes. I’ve been studying about it for a while and I came to a conclusion that… if we can somehow figure out a way to do something like that, then we can also travel to different realms.

ATTAS: Well, this is a great discovery and all, but can we get back to the main thing?

IOM: Oh, yeah, sorry.

[all the dragons lift into the air except for Inferno, Viper, and Phoenix]

PHOENIX: You think what he said is true?

INFERNO: Maybe. I’ve encountered crazier things like this one ShardWing who can summon crystals from her talons.

PHOENIX: [surprised] What?

[Inferno turns over and see Viper holding the rope, telling him it’s time to go]

INFERNO: I’ll tell you about it later. [getting his wrists tied with the rope and Viper pulls him into the air]

[Phoenix also lifts into the sky after Inferno, and the three dragons catch up to the rest. Scene cuts to moment later in their flight]

ATTAS: [looking at the map] Distance to Kanundra is approximately five hundred miles, if we fly nonstop, we should get there in about two and a half hours.

PHOENIX: [flying next to Inferno, who still has his wrists tied onto the rope] You want to tell me about her? [referring about the ShardWing]

INFERNO: Okay, uh, we met her a while ago, when she came to Eternity to ask for help. This was before Shadow, by the way, and she came to ask us for help and we agreed.

PHOENIX: Mhm.

INFERNO: And I think that’s it.

PHOENIX: That wasn’t a lot.

INFERNO: We didn’t talk with each other much. [to Viper] Hey, if the rope somehow unties and I begin free falling onto the ground, you’ll save me, right?

VIPER: Yeah, don’t worry about it.

[scene cuts to the dragons arriving at a mountain near Guera. Inferno look behind Guera, where there’s a mountain with an orange orb glowing above]

INFERNO: That’s the place?

ATTAS: Yup. Okay, let’s go.

[SCREEN TITLE: GUERA]

[the dragons arrive at the entrance to the city. Inferno is wearing a cloak to cover himself and looking around to make sure no one notice him]

[up in the air is a bunch of dragons flying around, some are transporting boxes and crates to different locations of the city]

[Inferno is still holding the golden spear, when he suddenly transform the spear into a smaller stick that he can fit under his disguise]

INFERNO: [to Viper] Do I look suspicious? You think anyone is gonna notice me?

VIPER: No, you look fine. Just don’t act suspicious.

INFERNO: Okay.

[the dragons walk down the street and finding the location where they store the key]

[the entire street is filled with different dragons from across the continent. Inferno pull the cloak up to cover more of his face]

VIPER: What are you doing?

INFERNO: I should’ve stayed outside the city. [looking behind to make sure no one follows him] There’s too many dragons.

VIPER: Just act normal, they won’t notice you.

ATTAS: We should split up. It’s probably the better idea considering how big this city is.

INFERNO: Alright.

[the dragons split into three groups, Rein with Attas, Phoenix with Iom, and Inferno with Viper. Inferno and Viper travel to the northern part of the city]

[Inferno and Viper continue walking when Inferno turn his head and notices some Bounters interrogating citizens. Inferno nudges Viper on the side to get her attention]

VIPER: [looking at Inferno] What?

INFERNO: Seems like Falcon and Jinn are somewhere in this city, too.

[Inferno and Viper walk in the opposite direction of the Bounters. They eventually see a poster hanging at a wall of a building]

INFERNO: What the hell?

[the poster is a bounty for all of the dragons except for Iom, with Inferno’s bounty of five million credits]

INFERNO: Seems like you might need a disguise, too.

VIPER: Alright, now this is really bad. Come on, let’s just find where the key is and get out of here as quickly as possible. [take the bounty poster off the wall]

[Inferno and Viper continue walking until they reach a staircase that leads to a different street. They were about to walk up the stair when they see two Bounters walking down from it]

[the two dragons ran away from the stair and hide somewhere]

VIPER: You think the others know about this yet?

INFERNO: Not sure, let’s find them quick.

[Viper lift into the air to look around the city and locate where the other dragons are. She sees Phoenix and Iom across the city and fly back down to Inferno]

INFERNO: You found them?

VIPER: Yeah, they’re across the city. I’ll lead us there. [lift back into the air and fly toward Phoenix and Iom as Inferno follow after from the ground]

[scene cuts to Attas and Rein walking around the market of the city. They look around for any possible locations of the key. Suddenly, they see a group of Bounters heading toward their direction]

ATTAS: Shit… Rein, we have to get out of here.

[the two dragons ran away from the Bounters, eventually reaching an alley with a dead end. The two dragons breath quickly after avoiding the Bounters]

ATTAS: We should be safe here.

[the two dragons wait for a moment, and they head toward the entrance of the alley, where they find Falcon, Jinn, and two other Bounters walking past their location]

REIN: We have to warn the others.

ATTAS: Yeah, no shit. Let’s go.

[Attas and Rein peek their heads out of the alley, Rein looking at the left and Attas looking at the right to make sure none of the Bounters are nearby]

ATTAS: We’re clear.

[Attas and Rein ran in the opposite direction of where Falcon and his dragons just went]

[scene cuts to Phoenix and Iom still looking around for the location of the key. Out of nowhere, they were pulled into an alley, and Phoenix take a mini-crossbow and point it at the dragons who just took them]

INFERNO: Woah, woah, hey, same team here.

PHOENIX: Why are you guys here? I thought you were checking the northern district of the city.

VIPER: Yeah, we were… until we found this. [show Phoenix and Iom the bounty poster that Viper took earlier] It looks like Inferno isn’t the only one they’re hunting for now.

IOM: So what can we do?

INFERNO: [ignoring the question] Have you guys got in touch with Attas and Rein yet?

PHOENIX: No…

INFERNO: [worried and looking at Viper] Then we need to find them now. [to Phoenix and Iom] We saw some Bounters walking around the city earlier, Attas and Rein are not safe.

[Inferno and Viper was about to run and begin searching for Attas and Rein when Phoenix interrupts them]

PHOENIX: No, no, no, wait. [to Inferno] How about you find the key while we find the other two?

INFERNO: What?

PHOENIX: Look, the only dragon who Falcon actually wants to kill is you. If you can get the key and get your power back, you can save yourself from him.

INFERNO: But what about you guys?

IOM: We can handle it ourselves. Don’t worry about us.

VIPER: [put her talon up and transform it into black matter] We can protect ourselves. Go.

INFERNO: Alright. Don’t die.

[Inferno run out of the alley and goes left while the rest of the dragons go right]

[scene cuts to Inferno walking around the city with his disguise still on. He pulls it up to cover most of his face except for his eyes]

INFERNO: [to himself] Where the hell can this key be?

[suddenly, Inferno just stop in the middle of the street and some dragons bump into him]

INFERNO: Oh, sorry.

[Inferno continues standing in the middle of the street, and his ears suddenly twitch. Inferno then hear a low humming noises coming from the opposite direction]

[curious, Inferno went toward where the humming noise came from. Scene cuts to him arriving at a stair that lead to the bottom of a building. Inferno look around the street to make sure no one follows after him before he heads down the stair]

[Inferno slowly walks down the stairs, taking the golden stick out of his disguise and transforming it back into a spear. Inferno eventually reach the bottom of the stair, and he looks around the room until he find a dragon sitting, looking away from him]

ECHO: [controlling a dragon with hollow memory through his mind] You think you can save her? [suddenly shove his talon forward as if he stabs someone]

INFERNO: [to himself] What?

ECHO: [pulling his talon back, mimicking the same movement similar to when someone pulls a knife out of their target] Don’t worry, little dragon, your suffering is over.

[Inferno slowly walks in front of Echo, and he sees that his eyes are close]

INFERNO: [terrified] Hollow memory?

[Inferno suddenly closes his eyes and gets flashbacks of himself killing other dragons in his hollow memory. He then remembers everything he had gone through and reopen his eyes in rage]

[Inferno grabs Echo by the neck and push him against a wall, where he pin him there]

INFERNO: [ragefully] Do you know how many lives you’ve ruined?

ECHO: [being choked by Inferno] You must be the FlameWing.

INFERNO: Do you know what you’ve put me through? You think this is fun? Tell me!

ECHO: I… can’t-

[Inferno throws Echo across the room, knocking down most of his stuff. Echo lay on the ground in pain as Inferno comes over and pin him on the ground]

INFERNO: You think it’s fun to kill other dragons and put someone else’s life on the line?

ECHO: Y-yes.

INFERNO: [pressing the edge of the spear against Echo’s throat and charging it up] I can kill you right now if I want to.

ECHO: But you won’t… I know you won’t.

INFERNO: You don’t know me.

ECHO: You won’t kill me. Because if you do, it would only prove that you’re no different regardless of being controlled or not.

INFERNO: [holding back his tears as he remembered everything that happened] You’ve ruined many dragons’ lives, including mine. Now, dragons are coming after me because of you.

ECHO: I’m sorry… FlameWing.

INFERNO: Being sorry won’t fix anything. [take the spear away from Echo’s throat] I’m tempted to kill you, but it wouldn’t make anything better. [throw the golden spear onto the ground]

[Echo look to his side in guilt as Inferno walks around the room, looking at Echo’s things]

INFERNO: You live here?

ECHO: [coughing] Yes, after I lost everything.

[Inferno walk to a table, where he sees a picture of Echo’s wife and dragonet]

ECHO: [referring about his wife] That’s Rela, and my dragonet. I’ve lost both of them in Pasona, when an  Infinite dragon came and killed them both.

INFERNO: Pasona?

ECHO: [sadden and tears run down his eyes] I lost everything I loved that day, and I don’t know what else to do… except this.

INFERNO: So you started doing this-

ECHO: As a revenge for Infinite dragons. I want to tear them all apart from the inside. They think that just because they have powers means they can do whatever they want.

INFERNO: I’ve lost dragons before, too. [walk over to Echo, who is now sitting and leaning against a wall] I’m sorry about that.

ECHO: FlameWing. [look at Inferno] This is an unbalanced world. There will always be something for the weak ones to fear.

[Echo stands up and heads to the other side of the room. Inferno follows after as he held out his talon to command the golden spear to hover into talon]

ECHO: There’s one thing that I want you to have. I know you can’t forgive me after everything, and you don’t have to, but…

[Echo opens one of the door and inside was a white orb sitting on top of a pedestal]

[the orb gives off a humming noise and Inferno looks at it in amazement. He walks forward and the humming noise becomes louder]

INFERNO: What is this?

ECHO: [pick up the orb and hand it to Inferno] The key to Kanundra. I know that it wouldn’t make up everything, but hopefully it’ll let you-

INFERNO: [interrupt] Thank you.

[scene cuts to the dragons heading back to the original room. Inferno is holding the golden spear in one talon and the orb in the other talon]

INFERNO: Alright. I’m sorry about the mess I made in your room, by the way.

ECHO: Don’t worry about it.

INFERNO: [head up the stairs] And don’t do it ever again. I’m serious.

ECHO: I won’t. It was a good talk… except when you were attacking me.

[scene cuts to Inferno reaching the top of the stair and he looks around. He pull this disguise to cover his face and run toward Kanundra]

[Inferno continues running when he suddenly encounters a group of Bounters. Inferno hid in an alley before they were able to see him, and he walks to the other side of the alley, ending up in a different road]

INFERNO: Shit.

[scene cuts to Inferno reaching the exit of the city, and he begins running toward the mountain. Cuts to Viper, Phoenix, and Iom searching for Attas and Rein]

VIPER: Where the hell can they be?

[Phoenix is flying in the air, searching for Attas and Rein from above. He continue looking around until he finds Attas and Rein]

PHOENIX: [to Viper and Iom] I see them.

[SCREEN TITLE: KANUNDRA]

[scene cuts back to Inferno reaching the bottom of the mountain. He takes the disguise off and switches his golden spear back into a stick. He then hold the stick using his mouth and climb the mountain with the orb on his left talon]

[Inferno continue climbing the mountain, until he stops to get a bit rest]

INFERNO: [to himself] Okay, okay, this is high. Don’t look down. [continue climbing]

[cuts to the top of the mountain, where winds are blowing loudly. Inferno’s snout peeks over the edge of the mountain and he slowly breath for air as he reached the peak]

[Inferno looks around while carrying the orb his in talon, and a shadowy figure appears in front of him]

SHADOW FIGURE: Welcome.

INFERNO: Who are you?

SHADOW FIGURE: I am the host of this mountain. It is my curse to be trapped here and assist dragons like you who came.

INFERNO: Why?

SHADOW FIGURE: Ages ago, I, too, came here to do the exact thing you’re doing. I arrived without the key, however, and the mountain trapped me here as punishment for wasting its time.

INFERNO: So what is this place exactly?

SHADOW FIGURE: Kanundra is a special place in this world where it has seen… many sacrifices. Generations to generations, Kanundra has seen it all.

INFERNO: I’m here to restore the FlameWings Gem. [hold out the gem for the shadow figure to see]

[the shadow figure floats toward Inferno and looks down at the destroyed FlameWings Gem. The figure then hover the many pieces of the gem towards it and inspect the gem]

[the figure hovers the FlameWings Gem back at Inferno]

INFERNO: What sacrifice do the mountain need from me?

[the shadow figure didn’t answer. Instead, it moved out of the way and point to a hole embedded in a wall]

[Inferno look at the orb he’s holding and head toward the wall, where he place the orb into the hole, and it fit perfectly]

[the orb then generates enough energy and it shoots a beam into the sky, creating a blast that can be seen from Guera]

[cuts to Guera, Falcon and his dragons see the blast and realize that Inferno is there]

FALCON: He’s restoring the gem. [to Jinn and the Bounters] Come on.

[Falcon and his dragons lift into the air and fly toward the mountain]

[scene cuts back to Inferno and the shadowy figure, standing at the pinnacle. The blast stopped and the arches of the mountain glows white]

INFERNO: So what now?

SHADOW FIGURE: In order for you to get what you want, the mountain asks for an exchange.

INFERNO: [look at the shadow figure] What exchange?

SHADOW FIGURE: For you to be able to get what you want, the mountain wants what you need.

INFERNO: What I need?

[the shadow figure slowly points at Inferno’s wings, and Inferno looks at it, realizing what’s going to happen]

INFERNO: My wings?

SHADOW FIGURE: Indeed.

[suddenly, a device rises from the mountain. Inferno look at the device, which is made with two sharp edges for dragons to cut their wings]

SHADOW FIGURE: The choices are now yours.

[Inferno looks at the shadow figure and back at the device. He takes the stick off his mouth and transform it back into the golden spear]

INFERNO: [determinedly] Let’s do it.

[Inferno walks up to the device and places both of his wings at the sharp edges. He hesitates for a moment and breath slowly]

[Inferno pushes himself forward and his wings into the sharp edges. His wings slowly tear apart as he winces in pain]

[cuts to Falcon flying toward the mountain, when a black matter strand was shot from the ground and stick onto his leg, stopping him from flying further]

[down below on the ground, Viper is in her black matter form and pulling onto the strand. Jinn and the Bounters were about to attack Viper when they were suddenly attacked by Attas, Phoenix, Rein, and Iom]

[Falcon, struggling to fly any further, uses his power to shoot a dagger at Inferno. The dagger slices through Inferno’s neck, creating a bloody cut. Inferno screams in pain and put his talon at the cut to stop the bleeding as he continue pushing forward to tear his wings apart]

[down below, Viper continues holding onto Falcon’s leg and throw him onto the ground, but Falcon was able to redirect himself]

FALCON: You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.

VIPER: Oh, yes, I do. You’re not going to kill him.

[Viper, Attas, Phoenix, Rein, and Iom prepare to fight against Falcon and his dragons. The two sides charges at each other, and a fight ensues]

[cuts back to Inferno’s wings almost torn apart. He continue pushing forward and scream in pain, and his wings eventually tears apart]

[Inferno jerk forward and collapse onto the ground, breathing for air. He slowly turns around and sees both of his wings on the ground. The shadow figure approaches the wings, and it hovers the wings into the air. The figure then turns the wings into golden dust, and the dust forms together to recreate the FlameWings Gem]

[the shadow figure holds the FlameWings Gem, and Inferno slowly stands up and heads toward to grab it, but he collapses onto the ground in exhaustion and pain. Inferno try to crawl toward the gem, and he slowly stands up, touching the gem with his finger before falling unconscious onto the ground]

[Inferno lay there with his eyes close, when his talons suddenly twitch and fire begin sparking from it]

[cuts to down below, where the group are being overpowered by Falcon and his dragons. Falcon continue shooting at Viper’s black matter form, forcing her onto the ground]

[suddenly, up in the mountain, an orange beam was shot into the sky, creating a blast. All the dragons from below turns to look at the blast in amazement and surprise]

[Inferno drops down from the sky, landing on his feet, and his eyes are glowing orange as both of his talons are set on fire]

ATTAS: He did it.

[Inferno walks toward Falcon, but some Bounters charge toward him to try to stop him. Inferno blasts a fireball at a Bounter, knocking them backward onto the ground. More Bounters continue rushing toward Inferno as he overpowered them all]

[Falcon ran toward Inferno with the daggers by his side. Falcon shoots it at Inferno, who disintegrated them all with his fire. Inferno then grabs Falcon by the neck just as he takes out more daggers and throws him backward, shooting a fireball at him to blast him further away. More Bounters stood between Inferno and his friends, and Inferno was able to blasts them all away with his powers]

INFERNO: [reaching to his friends and helping them up] You’re all bleeding. [his eyes stop glowing and returns to normal]

VIPER: [switching back to her normal form] Yeah? You’re missing two wings.

INFERNO: Ahh, at least I got my powers back. Do you like it?

VIPER: Just don’t do anything bad with it.

IOM: Guys?

[the group turns to look at Falcon in the distance, hovering in the air with six daggers by his side]

REIN: [to Inferno] Blast him with a fireball.

INFERNO: I just did, and he’s still standing.

ATTAS: [yell out to Falcon] You won’t win. Just get out of here and we’ll spare you.

FALCON: [tilt his head to the side] Really?

[from behind Falcon, thousands of Bounters from across the continent arrive. Attas look at the army of dragons arriving]

ATTAS: Where the hell does he get so many of them?

REIN: [to Attas] Thanks a lot.

FALCON: This is what I’ve been waiting for a long time. When all of you would be together, so I can kill each and every one of you.

[cuts over to the group of dragons. Inferno raises his talon into the air and the golden spear landed in his talon]

INFERNO: [throw the golden spear to Phoenix] Take care of this for me.

PHOENIX: Yeah, sure. [look at the golden spear]

[the Bounters charges at the dragons, followed by Falcon from behind]

INFERNO: [to Viper] Alright, quick question, I’m allowed to kill them, right?

VIPER: Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Don’t hesitate. [transform into her black matter form]

INFERNO: Good. Glad you can agree on it. [a fireball form from Inferno’s talon]

[the dragons walk forward and then charge toward the Bounters. Phoenix charges up the golden spear with energy. Inferno then jump high into the air with the fireball growing larger, and he slam down onto the ground, creating a blast that knock back the Bounters]

[Viper shoots two strands of black matter at two Bounters, and she throws them into the air. She then shoot a black goo between the Bounters, exploding and knocking them away]

[Attas grabs one of the Bounters and throw her into the air, and Phoenix blast the Bounter away using the energy from the golden spear]

[scene cuts to Iom fighting against a Bounter when he was hit away by another. The Bounter approaches Iom, but Inferno slam down onto the ground, creating a blast that knock the Bounters backward]

INFERNO: [eyes stop glowing and walk toward Iom, where he helps him stand up] Hey, you’re okay?

IOM: Yeah, I’m fine.

[Inferno jumps into the air and heads back to the fight. He landed next to Attas and blasted away the Bounters that were surrounding her. Inferno grabs one of the Bounters and throw him into the air and shoots a fireball at him]

[out of nowhere, Inferno and Attas were blown away by a huge wind. They look in front of them and see Falcon hovering down]

[Inferno charges forward with his talons on fire. He shoots a fireball at Falcon, who uses his wind power to redirect the fireball and shoot it back at Inferno]

[Inferno dodges it as the fireball fly past him, but Viper came from behind and grab the fireball with her black matter strands and swings it toward a group of Bounters, exploding and killing them]

[suddenly, Viper is hovering in the air and thrown toward a mountain. She slammed against the mountain hard, creating a crack. Viper shake her head dazedly and head back into the fight]

[Inferno rushes toward Falcon and try to slash Falcon across the snout with his flaming talons, but Falcon was able to use his wind power to stop Inferno’s talons from hitting him]

INFERNO: You should’ve never let me live.

FALCON: I’ll kill you again.

[Falcon then hits Inferno backward and uses his power to lift a giant boulder from the ground. He throw it straight at Inferno, but the boulder was destroyed into pieces when Phoenix blast it with the golden spear]

FALCON: [irritated] Don’t get in my way.

[Phoenix runs toward Falcon with the spear in his talon, and he tries to stab Falcon with it. Falcon then lifts Phoenix into the air and throw him away, but he was caught by Viper]

VIPER: I got you.

[scene cuts to the Bounters slowly overpowering the group of dragons. Rein is fighting against a Bounter when he is hit in the snout by Jinn. Jinn approaches Rein and pin him onto the ground]

[cuts to Viper fighting against Falcon again. Inferno came from behind Falcon to assist Viper, but Falcon was able to throw her away and send multiple boulders to pin her on the ground. Inferno creates a beam of fire out of his talon, trying to shoot Falcon, who grabs Inferno’s talon and redirects it toward Iom. The blast burned Iom’s chest and he was knocked backward]

[Inferno then creates a blade out of fire and tries to hit Falcon from the side with it, who uses his wind power to stop it. Inferno’s eyes glow orange as he continues pushing the blade harder, but he was thrown away. Attas arrives and tries to hit Falcon with a sword, and he dodges her attack by rolling to the side. Falcon grabs her by the neck with his power, and slams her onto the ground, where he uses his power to pin her there. Falcon then kneel in front of Attas]

FALCON: I was like you once. I had someone very special to me, but she was taken away.

[Attas grunts as she try to break free from the power]

FALCON: I understand your pain, HiveWing. Both of us lost someone to the FlameWing.

[Inferno try to hit Falcon from behind, but Falcon was able to use his power and pin Inferno down]

FALCON: [referring about Attas’s brother] Do you remember him? When he was taken away from you? Did you remember what you felt that day?

[tears slowly ran down Attas’s eyes as she remembered about Reaf. She looks at Inferno as he struggle to escape]

FALCON: [lift Attas’s head up so she can see him] It’s unfortunate. They believed that everyone should fear them because they’re more powerful. It’s time for me to put an end to them.

INFERNO: Attas…

[suddenly, all the dragons hear crackling sounds from the sky. Falcon looks up into the sky and sees a rift slowly open, and it cracks into a portal. A World Shatterer flew across the rift and into the main realm]

PHOENIX: [looking at the salamander flying in the sky with streaks of lightning behind it] Holy shit.

[the World Shatterer begin charging up its body with large amount of energy, and it let off a huge electric strike at Falcon]

[the strike creates an explosion that knocks Falcon, Jinn, and any dragons nearby backward. Inferno, Rein, and Attas are freed, and they head back to the rest of the group]

PHOENIX: Hey, you guys okay?

IOM: [walk toward the group while clutching the burnt spot on his chest] Yeah, never been better.

INFERNO: Sorry about that. Where’s Viper?

[in the distance, Viper is still buried by the giant boulders, and Inferno rushes over to destroy the boulders and free her]

VIPER: What the hell happened?

[Viper looks into the sky and see a World Shatterer flying around and zapping the Bounters below with lightnings]

INFERNO: Yeah, that happened.

VIPER: Come on, there’s still more of them.

INFERNO: [looking at the Bounters and breathing a bit tiredly] Okay. Let’s go.

[cuts back to the battle again. A Bounter was able to pull the World Shatterer onto the ground, and was about to kill it when Inferno hit the Bounter away with his flaming talon]

INFERNO: You’re alright, buddy?

VIPER: [arriving next to Inferno] So that’s the salamander?

[Inferno turns around and sees Falcon walking toward him. Viper then also turns around and stares at Falcon, who continue approaching them]

INFERNO: [to Viper] Go help the others. I can take on him myself.

VIPER: [looking at Inferno] Are you sure?

INFERNO: Yeah. Now go.

[Viper rushes toward to help with the other dragons, leaving Inferno to confront Falcon by himself. The two dragons slowly walk toward each other, eventually running and collide midair]

[Inferno grab Falcon and was about to breath a huge amount of fire at him, but Falcon was able to hit Inferno’s snout, causing him to breath the fire in the air]

[the two dragons wrestle each other in the air, exchanging attacks at each other. Falcon drags Inferno toward the city, and the two dragons eventually reach the border of the city]

[the two dragons fall into the city market, and Inferno falls out of Falcon’s grasp. Inferno stands up to look at Falcon in front of him. There are many dragons watching as the two dragons fight each other again]

[Inferno grabs Falcon by the neck and slams him against a wall of a building. He was about to blast Falcon in the face with a fireball, but Falcon kicks Inferno away and uses his power to throw Inferno into one of the shop]

[suddenly, a fireball was shot from the broken shop and hit Falcon in the chest, creating an explosion that burnt him and knocking him backward]

[Inferno emerges from the destroyed shop and walk toward Falcon, who uses his power to lift Inferno into the air and throw him away from the city. Scene cuts to Inferno flying across the air, eventually landing in a forest, destroying multiple trees in the way. He slowly gets up as Falcon land in front of him]

[Falcon uses his power to lift multiple pieces of the ground and throw them at Inferno, who uses his flaming talons to destroy them]

[Falcon continues throwing more pieces of the ground at Inferno, who just destroy them one by one and approach Falcon slowly. Seeing that Inferno is closer, Falcon lifts a giant piece of the ground and throw it at Inferno, who creates a fireball just in time to block it]

[the impact of the fireball with the ground creates an explosion that knocks back both dragons. Inferno was thrown onto the ground and Falcon was thrown backward where he impact against a tree]

[both dragons are terribly injured. Inferno slowly gets up, his temple and arm bleeding. Falcon dazedly stand up and look at Inferno in the distance]

INFERNO: Falcon, don’t do this.

FALCON: I don’t care.

[Falcon uses his power to lift some pieces of sharp wood from the destroyed trees and point them at Inferno. He then fire them all at Inferno, who just use his power to burn them all midair]

[Inferno shoots another fireball at Falcon, who moves it away with his wind power. The fireball was redirected and hit onto a tree, slowly burning it and spreading onto other trees. Falcon fly toward Inferno to try and hit him, but Inferno grabs him by the neck and swings him around, throwing him onto the ground]

[Inferno looks at Falcon on the ground, slowly standing up as the right side of his snout is bleeding]

INFERNO: Falcon, stop. I know you don’t want to do this.

FALCON: I won’t stop until I kill you.

[Falcon breaks off a tree caught on fire and throws it right at Inferno, who just breaks it in half with ease. Inferno slowly approaches Falcon as he continues using his power to fire more rocks and trees at Inferno. As he get close enough to Falcon, Inferno grabs him and throw him backward onto the ground]

INFERNO: Falcon, stop it. I know you hate me a lot and I don’t blame you.

[irritated, Falcon charges at Inferno and uses his wind power to throw Inferno hard at a flaming tree, destroying it. Inferno immediately head back to fight against Falcon]

[the entire forest is now caught on fire as the two dragons continue fighting. Inferno shoots a fireball at Falcon, who stops it with his power and hovers the fireball between his talons. The fireball begins charging up with a huge amount of energy as Inferno look at it in horror]

INFERNO: Shit…

[as Falcon returns to the fireball to Inferno, the fireball reaches its maximum energy and creates a huge explosion that shocks the entire forest, destroying all the trees within it]

[in the distance, Viper and the group just finished defeating the Bounters. She hears an explosion and look toward the direction of the forest, seeing it falling apart]

[cuts back to Inferno slowly getting up, coughing from the smoke. Ashes are raining down from the air as he looks around to try and locate Falcon. Inferno walks forward, seeing Falcon being crushed by a fallen tree, half of his face is burned. He struggles to get it off him and coughs out blood. As Inferno approaches him, Falcon become more rageful and lift a small rock to throw it at Inferno, who just catches it]

INFERNO: Falcon… I’m sorry for what I did to your mother. I know she must’ve been very important to you.

FALCON: [sniffling and wincing] She was everything I had left, and then it was all taken away.

[Inferno look at Falcon in guilt and kneel down and talk with Falcon]

FALCON: [remembers when he was still a dragonet] She would tell me fairy tales, and taught me everything I needed to be better.

[Falcon winces in pain as Inferno went to break the tree]

FALCON: Why are you helping me? After everything I did to you?

INFERNO: Something must be done. Just because you’ve been hunting me for the last month or so doesn’t mean I’ll leave you here to die.

[Inferno breaks the tree and free Falcon. He then sees a sharp piece of wood that penetrates through Falcon’s body. Inferno look up at Falcon worriedly]

FALCON: [groan in pain] Oh…

[Inferno grabs Falcon’s talon and helps him stand up slowly. The two dragons walk out of the destroyed forest, with Inferno helping Falcon as he clutches his wound. Suddenly, Falcon collapses on the ground and Inferno crouch down to help him]

FALCON: No, don’t, FlameWing, just let me stay here.

[Inferno look at Falcon, who’s looking at his wound and breathing slowly. He then turns his head and stare into the sunset]

FALCON: It’s beautiful. [continue staring into the sunset as a drop of tear run down his snout]

[Falcon is losing a lot of blood as Inferno was about to cover the wound for him]

FALCON: [move Inferno’s talon away] Just don’t. I want this to be my last moment, and then… I’ll be able to see her again.

[Falcon’s talons slowly dropped onto the ground, and he lay there. Inferno looks down at Falcon’s now lifeless corpse, feeling guilty. Viper arrives at the two dragons, transforming back to her normal form, and she looks down at Inferno crouching next to Falcon’s dead body]

[Inferno looks up at Viper, and he nods to reassure her it’s gonna be alright. The sun continues creeping down onto the horizon as the two dragons look at it]

[scene slowly switches to a new town. Cuts to the inside of a house, where Inferno, Viper, Rein, and Attas entered. Rein looks around confusedly]

REIN: What’s this?

ATTAS: Well, we weren’t joking when we said that we’ll get you a new place to stay.

REIN: Really?

[Rein looks around the house and touches the interior of his new home. He walked past Inferno and Viper to explore the house even more]

ATTAS: [to Inferno] So where’s the scientist?

INFERNO: Beats me. All I know is that he took the World Shatterer with him to study it a little bit more.

REIN: [shouting from the basement] Holy shit!

ATTAS: What about the bounties? Are we all cleared?

INFERNO: Yeah, yeah. I think they cleared all our names when Falcon died, we should be fine.

ATTAS: Yeah, hopefully.

[cuts to the outside of the house. Inferno and Viper are walking down the street, having a conversation with each other]

INFERNO: I wanna thank you again, for everything you did to help me get the gem back. [hold out the fixed and orange FlameWings Gem]

VIPER: No problem. It was a great adventure together, with you and… [turn around to see through a window of Rein and Attas having a conversation with each other in the house] with them.

VIPER: I’ve learned a lot of new things.

[Inferno smiles. The two dragons continue walking down the street, eventually stopping and talk again]

VIPER: Now that you got your powers back, what are you gonna do? Don’t tell me that you’ll go on a massacre spree and just kill random dragons.

INFERNO: [chuckle] I won’t.

VIPER: Anyway, will you be okay with the hollow memory thing?

INFERNO: Oh, I was able to find the dragon who did it and made him stop.

VIPER: [confused and surprised at the same time] Well, that’s something.

[there was an awkward pause and then Viper speak up]

VIPER: Remember how you told me that you can open portals?

INFERNO: [twist his talon and a portal suddenly open to the peak of a mountain] Like this?

[dragons around the area looks over at Inferno and Viper, muttering with each other]

VIPER: Yeah… like that. I have an idea.

INFERNO: Is it a stupid one?

[Viper smiles and scene cuts to the two dragons falling through hundreds of portals, teleporting through many places. The two dragons eventually landed onto a meadow, and Viper immediately ran to a spot and throw up onto the ground]

INFERNO: Ugh. That’s bad. [look away]

[Viper continue throwing up, eventually stopping]

VIPER: Alright, let’s never do that again.

INFERNO: [feeling a bit nauseous] Mhm.

VIPER: What are you gonna do now? Going back to Eternity since you got what you want?

INFERNO: I’m thinking something else different. Maybe helping out the little guys.

VIPER: Alright. [hold out her talon toward Inferno] I’m waiting…

[Inferno smiles and shakes her talon. Viper then lifts into the sky as Inferno watches her flying away. Inferno reaches into his pouch and pull out the FlameWings Gem and the necklace]

INFERNO: [wearing the necklace and talking to the FlameWings Gem] Just me and you left, buddy. So what do you say, ready to kick some asses?

[Inferno absorbs the FlameWings Gem into his body and begins running forward. Suddenly, two new wings form from Inferno’s back as he continue running forward, and a portal opens, leading him to a battle between a village and some marauders]

[scene cuts to all black, and the first credit rolls with the song “Flames” by David Guetta & Sia playing in the background. Towards the end of the credit, the title can be seen, and then it is burned to ash]

[in the post credit scene, a giant hut is located in the middle of a tribe. Scene cuts to the inside, where Inferno is having a conversation with the queen]

TREEWINGS QUEEN: FlameWing, what exactly are you here for?

INFERNO: I want to be able to help other dragons… to look out for those who can’t protect themselves.

TREEWINGS QUEEN: You’re telling me that you’re here to offer to help us?

INFERNO: Basically, yeah.

TREEWINGS QUEEN: So you swore that you will protect our tribe from any dangers in the future?

INFERNO: I will.

[scene cuts to black and the next credits roll]

[in the second post credit scene, Falcon arrived in the Afterworld, and he looks around in confusion]

[he steps down the stairs and look forward, where he sees a dragon standing, looking away from him]

FALCON: [looking forward and approaching slowly] Hello?

GALE: [turning around and see Falcon] Hello, darling.

FALCON: [surprised and happy] Mother?

GALE: [hug Falcon] I’m so glad to see you after all this time.

FALCON: I missed you a lot, mother.

[Gale and Falcon stop hugging each other. Falcon looks around the place in amazement. There are different flying islands with dragons living in it. Out of nowhere, a shooting star was shot across the void]

FALCON: What? Where are we?

GALE: Falcon, [show Falcon the entire void with flying islands everywhere] welcome to the Afterworld.

[scene cuts to black and the title fade in and out after a moment]

[THE END]
