They made it to the guest house, it was beautiful, a pool in the back, a huge area made for sleeping, eating, resting and more! "Woah... This is where we'll be staying?" Fane said in awe, "Yes Fane," King Palm replied. "And, you'll have friends upstairs." He added, Fane and Squirm both looked up at the ceiling and heard footsteps, "Your highness who's-YOU two!?" The dragon yelped, jumping back. It was Crystal, the Ice-Bound dragon who abandoned them and didn't give them credit for helping them destroy the dragons who killed their mother and destroyed their house. "Crystal!?" Squirm shouted out loud, "What are you two doing here?" Crystal asked, glaring at the king for answers. "Well, Squirm came to us and sought us for help because of our military troops. So, we made sure that the tribe's kingdom was burned down." Palm explained softly to them, "Yep, pretty much." Squirm muttered. "Well, never come into my room. NEVER." And with that, she slammed her door shut and continued to rest. "Sorry about that, she's just cranky because she can't see her brothers in the infirmary." Palm told them, Squirm was shocked. "What happened?" He finally asked out loud, "Well, Crystal says they were taken away by some portal and dropped into this kingdom. She says it was the Wrath of the Dragon Gods." Palm said. Fane looked at Squirm and he shrugged, "What is the Wrath of the Gods?" Fane asked him, Palm laughed. "You haven't heard of it?" He said, Squirm and Fane both shook their heads. "Well, I'll tell you then." Palm then told the two everything about it.

"A long time ago, Lightning struck Nature's tree, which made Nature so mad that he sent an army at Lightning, Shadow got stuck in the warzone, so he deployed troopers as well, Except Light and Dark didn't want the tribes to fight, so they destroyed all the tribes for their idiotic war nonsense to make them all pay."

"Yikes," Squirm shuttered. "That sounds horrible." Fane agreed, Palm chuckled and then walked off. "Let's get some sleep, it's late." Fane told Squirm, he nodded back, and they hopped into bed to go to sleep.

Roaring and crashing was heard as Fane woke up from the Nightmare, he had every night. Except the roaring and crashing was still noisy, Fane looked around and out the window to see dragons fighting. Sand Screamers burrowed up and roared loudly while biting the enemies, except the thing was, the enemies didn't look like any dragon they knew of. all of them had two heads, "Oh wait, they're all Zip-Wagger Dragons." Fane explained to himself, "GET UP YOU LOUSY ELECTRO-PULSE!!!" Crystal suddenly shouted, slapping the poor dragon in the face. "OW! Crystal get off-HOLY STARS!!!" Squirm freaked out as a Zip-Wagger busted through their house's window. Squirm tried to stab it, but it spoke. "Blimey, calm down mate!! The left head yelped, jumping back just in time. "Who are you?" Squirm threated them with the knife, "Tell us, NOW!" He shouted.

"I'm Stripes and that's me brother: Shadow." The left head told them, Crystal nodded and then asked who their tribe was. "We're a group called: Far-Squadron #98. We work for the Fear-Nappers but..." Shadow whimpered, "Since they killed our friends: Tom and Terrain we've been rebelling."

The three looked at each other and then asked for directions to the nearest Kingdom, "The nearest kingdom you say?" Shadow said, "Blimey, the one closest is 2000 kilometers away!" Stripes told them, "But we can make it." Squirm put in, smiling. "Ok, it's called the Space-Ripper tribe. They have white and black scales, huge horns and can teleport around like Mad." Shadow explained. "They'll take you in, soft beasts they are." Stripes said. "Ok, thanks. Please take care!" Crystal told them, "I guess she's feeling generous and thankful today... Wish it was like this tomorrow or the whole year." Squirm muttered. "Thanks lass, now go with your brothers and find your kingdom to rest in." Shadow told them, they all said goodbye and then wandered off towards the Space-Ripper kingdom.
