In the clearing, Flurry and the two dragons began charging up their powers to take down Malefor. As Spyro and Cynder's scales began to glow and Flurry's mane burst into magical flames, Malefor just watched and laughed at what he thought was three soldiers preparing for a battle they would not win.
"HERE WE GO, FINAL BATTLE!", Cynder roared.
"NO MERCY THIS TIME!", Malefor growled back.
The fighters spread their wings and took off into the moonlit sky. Malefor let loose several elemental blasts, but Spyro and Cynder blocked them with their own abilities, and Flurry dodged the ones that flew at her. After several strikes on each other and numerous near-misses, which included Spyro and Cynder getting their horns chipped and Flurry getting her mane set on fire for real, the trio gained the upper hand. One of Cynder's wind fury attacks hit a spot on Malefor's chest where some of his scales were out of place and loosened them further. Spyro noticed this and flew in fast to strike with an earth blast.
Malefor attempted to hold him off with a fireball, but Flurry shot a blast of magic to counter it. Spyro squinted his eyes to aim better and released the earth blast, landing a perfect shot. The loosened scales broke off and dropped to the ground. Malefor became even angrier and prepared to fire a super-cooled ice bullet at Cynder's stomach, but Spyro was ready and he fired a superheated fireball to evaporate it. Seeing an opportunity, Cynder spewed a burst of poison at Malefor's wings to weaken them and she landed the hits precisely.
Malefor felt the burning from the poison and he started to fall. At that point, Flurry pushed her magic to the ABSOLUTE MAX! She fired a blast that shot from both her horn and her eyes at the same time, which blinded Malefor with the intensity of looking straight into the sun. With the spots impeding his vision, Malefor realized he was now struggling to land his attacks perfectly, but he still put his blood and sweat into winning the battle. Spyro and Cynder combined their power and created a fury attack that was part light, and part darkness, aiming it straight at the exposed spot on Malefor's chest, which just happened to be over the center of his heart. Malefor saw the beam coming and released his own beam of purple energy to stop it, but Flurry Heart swooped in and joined her power with Spyro and Cynder's to make it even stronger.
The resulting beam shattered Malefor's when the two hit each other and continued on its path until it hit Malefor square in the heart. Malefor screamed in AGONY as the beam burned through his veins and his vision began to go away. In just seconds, Malefor was reduced to ash before he hit the ground. The scales that were dislodged immediately turned to dust as well until nothing was left.
"WE DID IT!", Spyro cheered.
"THANK THE ELDERS!", whooped Cynder.
"Thank goodness.", said Flurry Heart as they all flew down to the ground and landed softly.
After finding a small cave nearby, they healed themselves with spirit gems and laid down for the rest of the night.
They returned to Canterlot the next morning to tell Luna and Celestia the news. To Flurry's surprise, Twilight was there as well.
"Did you succeed?", she asked her niece.
"He is no more.", said Spyro.
"You have saved our world.", said Luna.
As Cynder took a bow, she suddenly felt a strong contraction and collapsed in pain. Spyro quickly spawned several spirit gems and gave them to her to ease the pain, but Cynder was beginning to sweat.
"It's time.", she said between groans.
"Time for what?", asked Twilight.
"We've been expecting an egg for quite some time now.", said Spyro as the spirit gems dissolved into Cynder's skin and eased the pain slightly.
"Quickly, get close to me, I can take you to the Dragon Lands in a flash.", said Twilight as she lit her horn.
