    Webs quickly flew towards the mountain with two different eggs in his arms. One Skywing egg and a Rainwing egg. He originally stole the Rainwing egg since he couldn't find a Skywing but that was when he came across one on the way back to the mountain. He had no time to return the Rainwing egg so he kept it with him. As Webs rushed over to the nest, Kestrel was unhappy.

    "Why do you have a Rainwing egg with you?" She growled. "I'm sorry, I found a Skywing egg while I was flying here with the Rainwing egg." He panted. "Just hurry and put them with the others. The mudwing is already hatching!" Dune rushed him. Webs nodded and the two eggs in the small nest.

    "Why did you take a Rainwing egg anyway?!" Kestrel roared. Webs explained, "Queen Scarlet broke all the eggs. I was lucky enough to find that Skywing egg near the Scavenger Den. I didn't waste time returning the Rainwing egg." "Do you even know if it'll hatch tonight?" Dune asks. Webs shrugs, "At least it's better than no Skywing, right?"

    "You're lucky the Skywing is starting to hatch as well." Kestrel suddenly says. The baby Mudwing and Skywing emerged from their eggs at the same time. The three adult dragons stared at the Skywing however. The Skywings scales were completely different from a normal Skywing. Its scales were purple, blue and green. Its horns were also bent back almost into a spiral. "Kestrel, do baby Skywings usually look like that?" Webs asked in a concerned voice. "No, that's not normal at all. Don't tell me something's wrong with it..." Kestrel sighed.

    The Seawing started to hatch next. The Mudwing saw this and pounced on the Seawing egg. "What the? He's attacking the egg stop him!" Dune said in a surprised tone. Kestrel went to grab the Mudwing but the baby Skywing crawled over and bit down on Kestrel's talons. Kestrel yelped, "AGH! Get off me! Webs, grab the Mudwing!" Kestrel commanded, still trying to pry the Skywing off her talons without hurting him.

    She finally managed to get the baby Skywing off her talons after a good 3 minutes. By this time all of the eggs hatched. "What's wrong with these two?" Webs asked putting the Mudwing back down with the others. Kestrel smiled, "Nothing, these two are perfect, especially this Skywing. He's definitely going to grow up to be a master fighter." The baby Skywing struggled and grunted as he tried to scratch Kestrel's face. "You'll think he'll attack the other Dragonets?" Dune watched the Skywing struggle in Kestrel's grasp. Kestrel responded, "Maybe, maybe not. But I think I have a name for him, Spiralhorn..."

    "I guess we could name the Mudwing, Clay." Webs suggested. "That'll work." Dune agreed. The three dragons also named to others dragonets, except the Rainwing. Webs bought that up, "What will we do about the Rainwing?" Webs asked. Kestrel answered, "Just take it back to the Rainforest Kingdom tomorrow. It's no good to us anyway." "But will the rainwings even take her?" "I don't know and don't care. We have the five dragons we need and that's all that matters." Kestrel put Spiralhorn down and walked away. Dune left as well, leaving Webs with the dragonets. "Glory seems like a good name for you." Webs decided on a name for the Rainwing anyway. Spiralhorn quickly went over to Webs and bit his legs. "Yowch!!!" Webs pulled his leg back. Spiralhorn huffed and let out a miniature roar. "Jeez, Spiral. You got quite the bite there." Webs laughed.

    Spiralhorn glared at Webs and went over to lie down with Starflight, Tsunami and Sunny. Glory was sleeping peacefully while Clay was staring at Spiral. Webs sighed, "Oh boy, I wonder how you all will be like when you're older."
