The five DRAGON members of the Rescue Riders were surrounding the fire in the shape of a circle as they cast their gaze upon the fire. Winger and Summer, being the tallest of the five, were laying in the back with the Skylanders behind the two. Burple sat alone on Winger's right while Aggro sat on Summer's left with Cutter on her left. The Skylanders were worried for them. Then, all of them heard the doors to the caves opening with Dak and Leyla coming in with smiles plastered on their faces.
The dragons woke up and looks at the duo as Cutter acknowledges the two vikings on his left first. "Looks like you guys are happy. Why exactly?" He asked.
"It's time for another festival approved by Chief Duggard himself!" Dak yelled happily.
Summer raises her right eyebrow in confusion. "Another festival? But it's not close to any festival," she surmised.
"If it's another Festival of Festivals, I would sooooo like to challenge Magnus and Axel again after what they did last time by gluing us onto the ground," Aggro said. "Oh! That act of cowardice and sabotage makes me so.... so.... MAD!" She said as she starts glowing with scales and horns glowing bright red and yellow, a little bit of heat rising from her body.
"I know you want to get back at them, Aggro. Believe me, I want nothing more than to show Magnus and Axel to never cross a dragon or five. But if we did do something so heinous, we will be be no better than Magnus. Our friends and the rest of Huttsgalor will probably no longer trust us and start to fear either us or other dragons that don't cause any threat or harm to humans," Winger explained which caused Aggro to calm down a little.
"(sighs) I guess you're right," she said as her burning glow retreats back into her skin.
"Actually, that won't be a problem for this festival," Leyla said.
"Why is that, Leyla?" Burple asked.
"Why don't the five of you along with everyone else come and find out for yourselves?" Leyla told Burple.
The dragons around the campfire straightened their necks up. Winger and Burple stared at each other while Summer looks at Aggro and Cutter. Then, Burple shared glances with Cutter and Aggro while Winger and Summer shared a glance, too.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to check this new festival out," Summer told Winger while the others paid attention to the green water dragon.
"Great. Then let's put these colorful blindfolds on you," Leyla said as she picked five colors from her bag and showed them to the five.
Blue for Winger, green for Summer, yellow for Cutter, purple for Burple, and red for Aggro.
The five dragons kept their gaze on the two. "Blindfolds?" They all said.
....
The five dragons were lead out of the cave.
Dak held his left hand on Winger's left shoulder while Leyla does with her left hand on Summer's right shoulder. Aggro was behind Summer as she gently held her tail inside her mouth. Burple held onto Winger's and Cutter holds onto Burple's. The two twins stopped walking. Next, Dak brought Burple and Cutter with his hands on the top of their noses -- to make sure to follow him as he brings them beside Winger on his right with Cutter on Burple's right. Then, Leyla brought Aggro upon Summer's left by gently pulling her right curved horn. Finally, once they were all standing in place, Dak removed the blindfolds off of Winger, then Cutter, and finally Burple. Leyla removed the blindfolds off of Summer and Aggro at the same time.
The twins walked backwards to a few stands behind them as Leyla starts to speak. "Alright, everyone, you can open your eyes now," she said.
Winger, Summer, Cutter, Aggro and Burple simultaneously opened their eyes, and then opened them more wider with their mouths open in shock as they all start to gasp. All over Huttsgalor, buildings and booths were covered head-to-toe with flags of each Dragon Class. There were tons of barrels filled to the brim with all kinds of fish, including Yellow Pike; Cutter's favorite if you forgotten or didn't know until now.
There were even helmets with dragon horns and fake wings for both men, women, and children.
"Those costumes, they're designed to look like the five of us," Summer said.
The dragons then saw Finngard dressed as Aggro pretending to fire at some kids who were dressed as wolves while protecting some kids who were dressed as a herd of sheep.
"Rawrrrr! I am Aggro, and these sheep are under my protection. So go find food somewhere else. Rawrrrr!" Finngard roared at the wolves.
"Aww, now that is just too adorable to not look," Aggro said. "Not to mention that it's making me blush even when I'm already red," she added with a giggle at the end.
"But what is the festival all about?" Summer asked as the Skylanders walk behind the five.
"Hey, Chief Duggard, Summer wants to know what this festival is about," she told him.
"Well, glad you ask, my scaly friend. Today is Dragon Appreciation Day, or DAD, for short. And on Dragon Appreciation Day, we have decided to hold the Festival of Dragons where we can honor all of the good dragons out there AND more importantly, the Rescue Riders. Including you five dragons," he explained.
Winger, Summer, Cutter, Burple and Aggro widened their eyes.
"Honestly, I know I said this before, BUT, when we first met, I still wanted to keep my distance. But after meeting the four of you and then Aggro, you have done nothing but risked your lives for us, rescuing us from either Magnus's inventions, mean dragons, pirates, and even wild animals such as wolves. No offense to you four werewolves," Duggard said.
"None taken," the four wolves said.
"But back to you five, we thank you for your bravery, your friendship, and most of all, your loyalty to the village. And I may be a viking, and you may be dragons, and even if I'm not your biological father, I am proud to call you my sons and daughters," he finished.
The dragons were shocked, but then smiled as they ran up to Duggard and gave him a group hug. Cutter stood behind him and placed his head on top of his. Winger placed his head on Duggard's right shoulder while Summer laid hers on his left one. Burple walked up beside on Duggard's right and Aggro stood on his left. They closed their eyes and gave a big friendly growl.
"Ohhh. How can dragons be dangerous if their so cute and friendly. Well, the good ones at least," he said as then pulled Burple and Aggro's heads closer to his.
All the other vikings awwed at how cute they were with Duggard. The dragons then pulled back. All five dragons looked at each other like they were chatting about something. This made Dak and Leyla gleam with excitement.
Duggard took notice. "What are they saying?"
"They're saying they want to be able to talk with everyone here and be easy to understand without animal noises," Leyla answered.
The Vikings were now chatting with each other in wonder and amazement.
"Oh, finally! I've been dying to know what they sound like," Duggard said.
"And I've been waiting to do this again ever since we got here," Discord said as he pulled out his eagle claw out.
And then... SNAP!!!
After the white flash was gone, the Huttsgalorians didn't see any changes.
