Today is the day of the last Druun invasion.
Rime, with a ship full of refugees, is trying to rescue more from the coming hordes and he would fly over to The Great City of Draagun, where he would drop the refugees there to safety. Surrounding Rime's ship, strong and capable dragons are there to protect the ship and to fight off the Druun, which includes the Datu family, except Sisu as she was with Rime rescuing survivors and the injured.
At one point, Sisu tried to destroy all of the Druun with the Dragon Gem, but just like last time, when the Druun invaded The Great City of Draagun, more came, which forced her and the rest to fall back to their home city.
Rime and the dragons landed at the entrance of The Land of Dragons, since Rime's ship is out of fuel, and they rescued all of the refugees they could rescue. At the entrance, an army of dragons are there, waiting, while getting ready to strike down any Druun that dare pass them.
"Where's Tarmos?" Pengu asked. "He's suppose to be here with us."
"Wait, you didn't know?" Pranee said, surprised that Pengu wasn't informed about Tarmos, who travelled to Spine's mountains to face Chatri, and so, she told him.
"*Sigh* Then we pray for him to succeed." Pengu said. "But for now, we must take the refugees to the city."
Afterwards, Pengu and his siblings guides the humans to The Great City of Draagun and he thanks the other dragons, who volunteered on helping both Rime and the humans.
Sisu is abnormally quiet today, which made her siblings concerned as she was like that from the very beginning of the day. Her siblings walks towards her and Jagan gently taps on her shoulder.
"Hey... Are you alright?" He asked.
Sisu, surprised by Jagan's presence, quickly puts on a fake smile and said. "Oh, me? Oh, I'm alright."
"No, you're not, you've been quiet all day, what's going on?" Pranee asked.
Sisu's fake smile disappears as she couldn't help but to tell the truth to her siblings.
"It's just... It's just Tarmos, I'm worried about him, so worried of what will happen to him." She said.
Then, Jagan, Amba, and Pranee all gave Sisu a hug, while Pranee strokes her mane and said. "Don't worry, Tarmos is a strong dragon, I'm sure he will be alright."
Once at the city, the refugees were amazed that not only other refugees are here, but the clans (or what was left of them) are here at the city as all of them are marching towards a temple large enough for all of them, but is it?
"Pengu." Says a dragon, who caught their leader's attention. "Word came from the temple that the temple has no more room for the refugees. What are we going to do?"
Pengu thinks for moment, trying to find a solution to fix the problem.
"I think I know a place where the other refugees would be safe." Says a voice behind the two dragons, who turned around to see Kannika herself.
After a few moments, Kannika is seen guiding the remaining refugees towards one of the secret entrance of Tarmos's cave, that would soon be unused.
"Where are we going?" Asked one of the refugees.
"We're going to Tarmos's humble abode and he doesn't mind you guys staying here till the Druun invasion has stopped." Kannika said. "But be warned, do not steal anything from his home, or you will regret it."
Once Kannika and the refugees are inside, the refugees were amazed by how Tarmos's cave looks like from the inside as the structure of the place seems alien, yet fascinating, while the symbols and the hand painted artwork on the walls scared the refugees, mostly the children. And they would be more amazed when they saw clones of Kannika, who were busy dusting the furniture, taking off the webs, wiping the floor, and adding new coat of paint on Tarmos's hand painted memories, but they stopped when they saw the refugees."That will be all." Pengu said, who sees The Great City of Draagun now empty, due to the refugees already hiding in a safe place, with the rest of Draagun's civilians.
Now, Pengu, his siblings, his soldiers, and Rime are now waiting, if their enemies defeated the army of dragons at the entrance. Then, a snow white dragon flew towards Pengu and lands in front of him, while Pengu immediately recognizes the dragon.
"Why aren't you with the rest of the dragons, who are guarding the entrance to the land?" Pengu sternly asked.
"Pengu, I was told to come to you as the Druun and their human leader, Chatri, is here, and they have becoming stronger." The snow white dragon said in unsettling calm tone, while the news, from the entrance, made everyone feel uneasy.
Wait, Chatri? If he's still here on this Earth... What ever happened to Tarmos? Sisu thought, who is breathing heavily with worry, which grabs the attention of Rime, who knew what Sisu is thinking about right now.
"Okay, they're coming here. Soldiers, Positions!" Pengu commanded as his soldiers all formed a line formation and with their hands, they magically summon a spear made out of water.
Now, the soldiers are now aiming their spears at the (unusually) dark forested entrance to The Great City of Draagun, while the Datu family, behind the soldiers, are getting ready to fight.
They waited for a moment, till they heard footsteps, echoing from the forested entrance, and soon, the sight of Chatri and a couple of Druun behind him made everybody tense. Chatri and his formless soldiers, who turned out to be souls, stood in front of the dragons.
"I, Chatri, Leader of The Druun, is here." Chatri said as he bows down for a moment, till he continues to speak. "Can I see the Datu Family and the one, who shares Tarmos's blood?"
The siblings looks at each other after that, then Pengu commanded his soldiers to move out of the way as he and his siblings walks towards Chatri, but stops at a safe distance away from the leader of the Druun.
"We're here... What do you want?" Pengu asked.
Chatri softly chuckles. "Where's Tarmos, why isn't he here to save your asses?" He mockingly asked.
Rime (and Sisu), who is angered by this, asked. "What did you do to him? He was suppose to meet you at the mountains of Spine."
Chatri softly chuckles once again and responded with. "He was a good warrior, none could last long fighting the Druun, but alas, like many others-..." Chatri then slowly grabs a sword in its hilt, which caught both of the Datu Family and Rime's attention, and as he raises the sword in its hilt, with two hands, he finishes his sentence, saying. "-They fall."
After what he said and what he shown to Rime and the Datu Family, all of them gasp as they recognize the sword's craftmanship, it's engrave alien patterns and language. It was Tarmos Rime's weapon.
Sisu slowly sits down and put her trembling paws on her mouth, due to the realization that Tarmos left this world, held by the gentle hand of death.
Rime, who is in front of Sisu, clenches his fist as a dark aura-like fire engulfs his very being, while the dragons around him are unharmed by its touch. Angered by the sight of Chatri, who is holding his descendant's sword, crystal-like spikes beginsnto grow out from Rime's back, his limbs, and one on his chest. This surprises everyone as this was their first time seeing a Rime in their full magical strength.
"Now... Come over here!!!" Rime shouted as he zooms, in super sonic speed, towards Chatri and gives him a sucker punch to the face, which made Chatri's head explodes, and instead of Chatri being killed by the fist of Rime, it was discovered that it was a clone when the rest of its body turns to ashes, while Tarmos Rime's sword, which was in the clone's hands, fell to the dirtied marble floor of the dragon city, now ignored by the life forms surrounding it.
At this violent sight, Pengu does not hesitate to command his soldiers to engage as he, his siblings, and the soldiers charge towards their enemy. As the battle ensues, Rime, enraged by the discovery of the clone, grabs his head and uses his sense to locate Chatri by pure will alone. Then, Rime snarls when he spots Chatri, who in Rime's eyes look like a dark purple mass, just like the Druun, and then, he pursues him to the forest. The very reason why Chatri ran into the forest is because he felt the impact of Rime's transformation and sensed his aura and he couldn't stand it, which means he's scared.
Sensing Rime's presence gaining on him, Chatri shouted. "P-Please, don't kill me!!!"
After what he just said, a dark blue shadow zooms appears at his side and pushes Chatri to a tree, then the dark blue shadow rapidly punch and kick Chatri from all directions, till this shadow stops as Rime is now seen in front of him.
Suddenly, Rime's right fist turns blue and he now prepares to give Chatri a finishing blow, but before he did, Chatri swiftly made a clone, to be another of Rime's kills, and he runs away when Rime's fist goes through both the clone's head and the tree.
The clone turns to ash and falls to the grass as Rime widens his eyes and scream from the top of his lungs, screaming. "Chatri!!!!"
As Chatri is being chased by a brutal ancestor of Tarmos Rime, the dragons of Draagun are finding trouble with fighting the Druun.
"I don't know if I would last longer." One of the soldiers said, stabbing a trio of Druun, which seems to push them, rather than hurting them.
"Keeping fighting!" Pengu shouted as he slices a Druun in half with a sword, which is made out of water.
"I can't!" Another soldier shouted. "If only Tarmos was here."
All of a sudden, the sound of thunder was heard as rain pours down from the now darkened sky, which made most of the Druun yell in agonizing pain as this forces them to move back. Then, Sisu gains everyone's attention, when they saw her glowing and levitating off the ground, while clinging onto the Dragon Gem. She soon levitates down to the marble floor and gave everyone a serious look, then she said something completely out of character. "Tarmos may be our only hope, but he's gone. You're just distracting yourselves by whining and waiting for something to turn the tide. No. All of us are the ones to turn the tied of this invasion, even if it costs us our lives. Now, even if you couldn't survive this fight against our enemies, remember this, that there will be generations because of you and your sacrifices."
Afterwards, all of the dragons are now staring at her in awe and with inspiration.
"Wow, makes you wanna die for her." Whispered a soldier, who earns a face of disapproval from his friend, who is right next to him.
"Don't become like one of those Sisu Fan Club members, please?" Their friend begged.
Pengu, who is really surprised at his sister's speech, slowly walks towards Sisu and asked. "Where did you learn to speak like that?"
All of sudden, her serious demeanor vanishes and gives Pengu a goofy smile, which made Pengu shocked by her sudden change of mood, and she said. "Oh, the inspiration for my cool speech is a speech told by a leader from Tarmos's stories."
"Enough about stories, now we must fight for our home and all of Kumandra-!" Says a soldier, who then looks at Sisu with a small smile, and he continues to say. "-and even if it costs us our lives, but generations shall be saved, so who's fighting to the death?!"
The response from the other soldiers was a loud... "Yeah!!!!!!"
"Then, let's us show the Druun what we do in The Great City of Draagun!"
Another cheer erupts as the soldier, who had all of the attention, now bravely charges towards their enemy and plunge their spear right into them. The other soldiers did the same as Pranee, Jagan and Amba follow them from behind, while Pengu and Sisu watches them go towards their enemies.
Pengu turns to look at his sister, Sisu, and said. "You did well, Sisu."
"Aw, thank you, Pengu." Sisu said, looking away from Pengu with a flustered, yet smiling face.
"You know, if Tarmos was here, he would be so proud of you."
