Ferno then stayed in the Ruby Desert for some time to recover his strength as Tom went on to fight Lypida and Malvel. These claws are sharp enough to draw blood from Arcta and make significant gashes in Ferrok's chest.

The Fire Dragon drew close to Tom, who leapt from his Henkrallian steed onto the back of the Good Beast. When the city began to collapse after Ravira's defeat, the Fire Dragon and Flame Bird flew away, reuniting with the villagers (recovering from being Hounds of Avantia) and Tom and Elenna, flying in circles over the group. The Beast began incinerating the canopy, giving Claw far less of an advantage and smoking him out, the Good Beast tailing the Evil Beast through the trees and bringing trees down to cut off escape routes, eventually forcing the Giant Monkey to drop to the jungle floor. As such, when Tom duelled Nemico and the evil version of Tom matched the true warrior of Avantia admirably, Tom resorted to summoning Ferno to assist him. Ferno's voice flitted in and out of Tom's mind through the Red Jewel and his scale as angry and confused whispers, mixing and merging with the voices of the other Beasts.As the Avantians fought the Evil Beast, Ferno watched the group from the skies, waiting to intervene and firing fire at Tom, being reflected off Tom's shield at Claw. Ferno landed and allowed the two young dragons to climb onto his back, personally taking them to the mountains deeper in Rion to train. As the Beast advanced to transform Tom into one of his minions, Ferno arrived, roaring in challenge and descending on the battleground. When Tom engaged Malvel in Errinel, Elenna used Tom's shield (which Tom had lost in battle with the King of Fear) to once-again summon the Fire Dragon, not content to let Tom fight Malvel alone as he wanted. Ferno and Elenna arrived in Errinel as a desperate Malvel drew a concealed dagger from his robe and leapt at Tom.

Enhanced Speed: Ferno swished his tail so fast that Silver couldn't react to it, flinging the wolf onto the rocky ground. Enhanced Strength: Ferno has incredible strength, able to shatter an entire dam of boulders with a single strike with his tail and fling around Beasts like Arax with his tail. When Malvel dispatched Arax to corrupt Aduro and kill Tom in battle, he based himself in the mountain caves near where Ferno made his home. The Fire Dragon glided below them, catching them again before both groups landed to battle before Quarg took off to collect Jezrin. After Arax was defeated Ferno approached Tom, gave him a gentle nudge to congratulate his achievements, and flew away.The Beast was forced to sit out the next few minutes as he recovered, but soon lunged at Kyrax, ploughing his snout into Tom's side, throwing him clear of the Metal Warrior's attack and taking over the clash, telling Tom to make the sword of Kyrax's metal (only weapons of a Beast could hurt Kyrax). Ferno was the last of the three to arrive, swooping over the ocean as Epos released a fireball on Grashkor, temporarily taking him out of the fight, blinking an eye in greeting, and tipped a wing to the Avantians to allow them to climb on. He located the Beast and attacked, managing to fasten a collar containing dark magic that bent the Beast to Malvel's will. As Ravira relied on the light of the moon for her power, Tom hoped to be able to block out the moonlight.
