Alex and Cassie land in Fantasia and start walking to Drachenfels. Then, they hear someone calling for help. They follow the sound and find a unicorn with her horn stuck in a tree. They help the unicorn—whose name is Shimmer—and decide to take her with them on their journey to Drachenfels.

Chapter 5: The Not-So-Prideful Rock
Zazu tells Ruby and Nikko that Prince Chaka was kidnapped by Shenzi. The Assembly finds out the connection between Yinlong and Krane, and Krane himself appears to demand the surrender of the royal families. Since they refuse, Krane traps Yinlong's soul inside a small jar and vanishes with it.

Chapter 6: Jars of Dragons
Shenzi tells her captive, Kristen Blackwood, her story. She used to be a young and independent hyena dreaming of a life outside the Graveyard, and Krane took her on as an apprentice and wanted her to kill Simba and Nala when they were cubs for his evil plans. She never intended to be a villain. Krane appears and tells his story to Alex's mom, who he believes is Alex, and he reveals the identity of 5 other souls he trapped inside jars over the years. He explains how the world's treatment and expectations of him made him bitter and cruel.

Chapter 7: The Twilight Staff
Ruby, Nikko, Shimmer, and the girls travel back to Drachenfels and find out the mountain range surrounding the kingdom has magically disappeared. Drago, Jake and Snow have come to the castle to discuss what the heck to do with Krane. Cassie remembers the Twilight Staff that was mentioned in one of Nikko's books, which is made out of the items of the 5 most hated villains in Fantasia and will make whoever is holding it invincible, and convinces everyone it's the only chance and they have to try it. Nikko suggests they start with Smaug the wicked wyvern, who has the Arkenstone.

Chapter 8: The Desolation of Smaug
Nikko, Drago, Shimmer, Jake, Snow, Ruby, and the girls go to the Lonely Mountain and Alex volunteers to go inside to retrieve the Arkenstone. Alex enters the mountain and reaches Smaug's treasure hoard, a large ocean of golden coins and jewels. She begins searching for the Arkenstone, causing a landslide that reveals Smaug, who is sleeping. Alex is amazed to find that Smaug is huge, bigger than she thought, and uses her magic Moonstone Amulet to become invisible to Smaug when he wakes up from his sleep and he realizes someone is in the chamber with him. Smaug emerges from the sea of treasures and begins searching for Alex, beckoning her to come out so he can see her. When Smaug gets too close for comfort, Alex is overcome with fear and runs, alerting Smaug, who chases her after her through the chamber. Alex evades the dragon and hides behind a large pillar, still under the cloak of the Moonstone Amulet. Smaug continues his search for Alex, claiming he is aware of the Moonstone Amulet in her possession, telling her he senses that Alex has something "with a jewel, but far more precious," which forces Alex to show herself to Smaug. He is amused by Alex's knowledge of who he is, and begins conversing with Alex in order to deduce her origins. Alex lies and says she traveled alone to witness Smaug for herself, but Smaug reveals he knows that Alex has come here with Nikko, Cassie, Drago, Ruby, Jake, Snow, and Shimmer. Smaug then discerns Alex's true intentions to steal the Arkenstone from him, and claims he is tempted to let Alex take it to watch it consume Celebrant so he could become King of Drachenfels. At this point, Smaug immediately tries to eat Alex, but Alex uses the Moonstone Amulet to evade him, causing Smaug to fly into a rage and unleash a torrent of flames around the treasure chamber in an attempt to roast Alex alive before she can escape. Alex manages to escape the mountain before Smaug can get to her.
