The Adventures of Royce!

Chapter 48: In The Defense of War-Fang!

Terrador: "Everyone, out now! The City of War-Fang needs all hands on deck! Invasion in progress!!" Terrador ordered as everyone left the Court Room and with Ember close by being escorted by one of the guards. Due to the reason being neither guilty or non-guilty. "I want everyone ready! There are enemies new and old!," Terrador said to the remaining group of Dragons and Dragoness', "Royce, seeing you are familiar with these threats, I want you Kristigia, Nova, your daughter and Cynthia to deal with the Monsters. While us Dragons (including Spyro and Cynder) will deal with the Grublins and Wyverns (enemies from The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of The Dragon) and Sabine," Sabine then looks towards the green Dragon, "protect Royce from surprise attacks, that's an order!" Sabine salutes Terrador as she follows Royce close by as he begins to engage several Large Monsters, then while Royce & Sabine were dealing with a couple Large Monsters, several thousand Hunters pouring down into the City of War-Fang to assist the inhabitants. Helping to keep the Large Monsters occupied, including several Elder Dragons (except Nergigante, whom only picked off the Elder Dragon before leaving).

Tiffany: "Reinforcements have arrived," Tiffany exclaimed, seeing her Hunter comrades arrive to assist the Defense of War-Fang.

Commander: "Now that us reinforcements have arrived~ fight whatever, or better yet~ whoever is the leader of this invasion. We'll keep the Large Monsters, invaders and Unknowns off your backs!"

While Royce began looking for this leader of the on Invasion of War-Fang.

Royce: "Where the H*** is this guy, thing, or whatever it is, this~ will~ end..."

Malefor: *Inside Royces' mind as he comes out* "HAAAA! HA~HA~HA~HA~HA~HA! You are a total fool, Half-breed! I never wanted to invade Humanity, I just wanted another chance at eradicating Dragon, and if necessary, Human-kind! Now with the army I possess, I see that (it's) becoming a reality! And... I know your weakness, too!"

Royce: "Yeah? And what's that?" Royce asked the Dark Master with doubt, that was before Malefor threw Royce's previous girlfriend and "wife": Song; the Snow Leopardess, Ex-bandit and previous lover. "What's your point?!" Royce looked with irritation as to the evil Dragon. "You better hurry up! Get to the point," Royce continued taunting the evil Dragon, that was until Malefor tail-slammed him so hard that he went flying against a wall and shattered every-single bone in his body.

Ember on the other hand, saw this, despite seeing her father just about to mercilessly slaughter her love-interest so she jumped in between her murderous father and Royce.

Malefor: :What is the meaning of this, Ember?!"

Ember: "He is mine!"

Malefor: "But he is your enemy!"

Ember: "I love him very much, if you kill him, then you'll have to kill me as well!"

Malefor: "Then so be it!!" Malefor says as he prepares a Convexity Blast and fires it off at Ember and Royce, then for Ember to counter-attack and fires a Convexity Beam back at her father.

Malefor: "You dare defy your father?"

Royce: "You *spits out noticeable amounts of blood and grabs right arm in pain* just don't get it, don't you?!" Royce says as the anger from within takes over. The anger in the form of Venom.

Venom: "Time to cause some carnage! Kill a Dragon! This'll be fun!!" Venom announced to both Ember and Malefor, "I will have your head on a stick, nasty Dragon." Venom's mind-set focused on Malefor which was interrupted by Ember whom was insisted on protecting Royce even if she was deemed a "Criminal". She'd cared for him even if he was her arch-nemesis (was he that charming?)

Malefor: "I'll give you one last chance to move out of the way and end his miserable life, daughter. It'll be easier on both you and I."

Ember: "How?! How will it be easier on me too? The 'dad' I once knew would put me first before himself but I guess he really died after invading the Dragon Realms!" Ember told Malefor as she noticed Malefor was preparing another Convexity Beam Attack.
