     Just as the yellow dragonfly inquired about Shantae’s well-being, they were approached by several other characters—characters he had never seen before. Sparx quietly hovered before them unsure of what to say. He felt like the stranger, but it didn’t seem as though Shantae knew them either. A familiar soldier entered the Save Point then. As he removed his helmet and broke the ice with his greeting, Sparx smiled brightly.

     [color=fff200][b]“Warrior, you made it!”[/b][/color] he happily exclaimed. He didn’t know his name, but he was happy to see that there was another who had survived the ordeals in the underground. The dragonfly felt less intimidated by all the strangers and hovered a little higher in the air to get their attention. [color=fff200][b]“All right; you guys are here to help? Bzz! Come upstairs with me. I have a room where we can safely talk.”[/b][/color]

     The insect melded into a glowing yellow line that left a trail up to the second floor. In the room with the Snorlax, a tall being wearing a black cloak walked over to sit at the table with a cup of hot tea. The being sat with its back facing the group and its hood drawn up.

     Following behind the dragonfly was one red and yellow plant-like creature. One had a flower poking out of its vegetable-shaped head and the other a leaf. They raced up the stairs behind Sparx and followed him to the bedroom, opening it for the armless dragonfly. Sparx whirled around and nodded to the Pikmin bellhops. [color=fff200][b]“Hey thanks!”[/b][/color]

     The Pikmin saluted him and traveled back downstairs. The hotel room, like majority of the inn, was covered in the same squishy pillow-like flooring. There were two twin beds, a round table with two chairs, and a TV stand with a flatscreen television on it. The dragonfly flew in an excitable circle and offered the group, [color=fff200][b]“Come on in and have a seat bzz! There’s a lot to talk about. Get comfortable but try not to fall asleep!”[/b][/color]

     Once the group was settled and comfy, Sparx began the tale.

     [color=fff200][b]“For those who don’t know me, I am Sparx the Dragonfly. In my world, every young dragon has a dragon fly. We protect them, otherwise, without us, they could get seriously hurt or worse, killed bzz! Somewhere in the Dragon Realm, Spyro is locked away inside a cage and he’s very weak! I can see him in my head, but I am unable to find him from this dimension. But any who, that big green meanie some of you saw was Gnasty Gnorc. He is from the Dragon Realm and is one of our enemies. Did you beat him?”[/b][/color]

     Sparx waited for an answer before he continued, [color=fff200][b]“I am not sure if Gnasty was only after me. The Egg Thief seemed like he wanted to steal the winning items too.”[/b][/color]

     He looked to James and bowed. [color=fff200][b]“Thank you again for saving me. I don’t know what they would have done with me and that Moneybags nrrgh! He just makes me mad! I can’t believe he tried to sell me off. But again, I’m getting carried away. Before all of this happened, I was with Spyro in Dragon Shores—there are many smaller realms inhabiting the Dragon Realms by the way. We were catching some sun when we were attacked by a group of Big Gnorcs. They underestimated us—as always—and we kicked their butts but that was when someone unusual appeared. I don’t think I had ever seen the person in the Dragon Realms. He was wearing a black cloak with a hood and he had Ripto, Crush, and Gulp with him!”[/b][/color]

     Sparx shook back and forth in the air. [color=fff200][b]“Let’s just say they’re bad dragons—well, Ripto is a dinosaur. But he wishes he was a dragon. Normally his magic isn’t so strong but this time, things were different. He nearly killed me with one spell! Spyro saved me and ran away from Ripto and the mysterious guy. We tried to fly through the dimension portal but the cloaked guy followed us through. He cast a spell that bound Spyro, and I was lost between dimensions. I guess that’s how I wound up here. I was alone and I didn’t know what was going on. I ran into Moneybags because he was the only one that I knew from my universe. Never would I have guessed he would sell me to the bad guys. I knew that bear was greedy but not that greedy bzz!”[/b][/color]
