Description
Rise of the Imprisoned

The doors to the hatchery opened to the fire guardian as he walked into the room to check on the eggs. He went through every nest and found that all were there, including his. After a sigh of relief he turned to the now sleeping ice guardian that had the last watch. He walked up to her and nudged her awake. "Glacia, it's time to switch." The fire guardian whispered.
Glacia shot up and said "sweet ancestors, I've been asleep for that long! I'm sorry Flame, I should have been awake in case of an attack!" Glacia apologized.
"It's alright Glacia, nothing happened and it's the late hours, now go grab something to eat, you must be starving." Flame said.
With that the ice dragoness got up and walked out leaving Flame to watch the eggs. He sat in front of his and Ember's egg and said "it's just you and me little guy." After obviously getting no response from his egg he said "then again it's just me."
He looked around at all of the eggs that had been gathered, from Gravels to Staticas and even Spyro's egg, which sat in the middle of the room elevated over all others. Terrador had made sure that no one would confuse that egg with any other, even though all of the eggs already had tags next to them with the names the parents want for them. He looked at the two names he and Ember had chosen for theirs. "Well Blazelight or Flare, looks like you got some competition to deal with." He said.
"And why would you think that our children will have a competition to see who's best?" came a voice from behind him.
Flame jumped and turned to see a giant purple dragon standing behind him. "Oh, it's only you Spyro. I never meant that…"
"I know Flame, how are the eggs doing?" Spyro asked.
"Well, they are still here if that's what you mean." Flame answered.
Spyro chuckled then said "good, I don't want any of these eggs to live the way me or Cynder did."
"We promise that will not happen this time."
"I know Flame, you are an excellent guardian, but I know you will make a much better father as well."
"Flame! Spyro!" another voice shouted as a green dragon and a yellow dragonfly rushed into the room.
"Gravel, Sparx, what's wrong?" Flame asked.
"Our scouts have reported that an army of apes march towards the city!" Gravel replied.
"How big?" Spyro asked.
"The scout stopped at five-thousand." Sparx said.
"That's not good, we won't be able to hold them off!" Flame panicked.
"Relax Flame, keep a calm head on you." Spyro told his cousin.
"You're right, Gravel, gather the other two guardians, Cynder and Ember, I'm calling an emergency meeting." Flame said.
"Sure thing Flame!" Gravel said as he ran out.
Spyro and Flame went to the window and surely enough saw the rising dust cloud from the ape army in the night sky. "This isn't good, where'd they get an army big enough?" Flame asked.
"Better question is who's leading it?" Sparx asked remembering what Spyro said he did with Gaul and Ciqala along with Demetrius and Evil Cynder.
"What do you recommend we do Spyro?"
"Hm, I have an idea. Sparx, I need you to go get my mother." He said.
"Sure thing bro!" Sparx said as he flew out the window.
Spyro waited until Gravel returned with Glacia, Statica, Glacier, Ember and Cynder to announce his idea. "To avoid any danger to the eggs I recommend that me, Cynder and my mother take them somewhere no ape can get them, the white island."
"Please, the white island? You expect us to believe that the chronicler actually exists?" Gravel said.
"You should, because I've been there." Cynder said.
"And so have I!" Sparx said as he flew into the room with Icis right behind him.
"I agree with Spyro's plan, the apes can't get there and we have Ignitus watching us there." Icis said.
"I agree also." Glacia said.
"As do I." Flame announced.
Statica thought about it for a second then looked at her mate which gave her a nod. "We agree to allow you to care for our egg Spyro." She said.
"I guess I will have to agree on it as well, they can't be in any more danger in your paws than here." Gravel said.
"Alright then, we need you to alert the parents about this and apologize that we couldn't have announced this earlier. We will keep them there until a couple days after Flame and Ember's egg hatch since it was born much earlier than the others." Spyro told them.
The guardians quickly prepared three large baskets to carry the eggs in and began placing them in there. When Statica picked up her blue egg she hugged it one last time then placed it in the basket. She then turned into Glaciers arms and hugged him with tears in her eyes. "It's okay Statica, they will be back soon enough." He said as he drapped a wing over her.
"I know… I'm just scarred." She cried.
"We will take great care of them, we promise." Cynder said to her.
After wiping her tears away Statica said "I know you will Cynder, I'm scarred that the apes will prevent these eggs from ever seeing their parents." She said.
"We will not allow that to happen!" Flame said.
Spyro gently placed his egg in the center of his basket and looked at it. 'I won't let it have the same life as I did.' He thought to himself.
"Spyro, we need to leave now." Cynder said.
"Right, mom you ready to see dad again?" Spyro asked Icis.
"I've been waiting for ten years!" she replied.
After he chuckled a bit he saw Sparx fly up to him. "Hey, Spyro, can you take my egg with you?" he asked as he showed them his yellow egg.
"Of course we will, why don't you come along?"
"Well I think that going to the white island once is good enough for me, besides Violet needs me to comfort her." He answered.
"Alright then, take care brother." Spyro said as he gently placed Sparx's egg next to his.
"Spyro you need to keep these eggs safe, our future depends on it!" Glacia said to him.
"Don't worry Glacia, I will. Now my friends it is time to go before the apes arrive." He told them.
The parents got one last look at their egg before Spyro, Cynder and Icis took off for the white island.
