Enjoy
As Cynder was rising into the air, Spyro began charging his powers into a large purple sphere. When Cynder got to a certain height, the sphere began releasing streamers that looked like Spyro's head at her. Cynder screamed as the heads made contact over and over again.
Eventually, Cynder fell down when the heads disappeared, hitting the ground with a hard thud. She let out a small moan and refused to move. Spyro took this opportunity to help pull Johnny up.
"Did we win" he asked.
"Yeah" Spyro nodded.
They stared at Cynder for a while.
"You know Spyro, I wonder what Cynder was like before she was all evil and stuff" Johnny asked.
He got his answer quickly. A black light started coming out of Cynder's body. Before they knew what was going on, Cynder shrank. Her horns shrank back into her head, her wings healed over, and she now appeared to be the same size as Spyro.
"She is just like me" Spyro gasped.
"Wow… shocker" Sparx moaned.
Suddenly, the ground on the island began to shake violently. The guys turned their heads and received a shock: The portal was starting to fluxuate and was now beginning to suck up everything in range.
"We gotta get out of here right now guys" Sparx said, with a hint of making a quick exit.
"We can't just leave her behind" Spyro said, motioning to Cynder. "We've got to save her".
"What? Save the beast that's been trying to kill us" Sparx gawked.
"That wasn't her fault" Spyro shot back. "She was being used by the Dark Master".
While they were arguing, no one but Johnny noticed that Cynder was slowly beginning to drift closer to the portal. He looked back and forth between them and her, unsure about what to do. When she went to the air, he made up his mind. He went airborne and followed her as she hit the portal, disappearing into the beam of energy before Spyro or Sparx could stop him.
"JOHNNY" Spyro screamed.
"Spyro there's nothing you can do for him" Sparx said.
The ground was beginning to shake much harder now.
"We can't stay here, Spyro" Sparx yelled. "We have to get out of here".
With a heavy heart, Spyro flew away from the portal as fast as he could. However, before they got very far, Spyro heard a noise.
"S-S-S-Spyro" a voice whispered.
Spyro turned, hoping to see Johnny coming out of portal being chased by the Dark Master. Instead he saw nothing.
"S-S-S-Spyro" the voice whispered again.
Before Spyro knew what was going on, Convexity disappeared. Spyro jumped up. After a few seconds, he realized he was standing in the Temple.
"Are you all right, son" A warm voice said next to him.
Spyro turned and saw two familiar faces staring down at him: Ignitus and Malefor, the only family- aside from Sparx and his foster parents- that he had left.
"I'm all right, dad" Spyro said. "Just a bad nightmare".
"Spyro, with all these nightmares you're having, I worry what'll happen to you" Ignitus sighed.
"Son, there's nothing to worry about" Malefor said. "It's been almost two months and the Dark Armies have been quiet ever since we saved Cynder. There's nothing to be afraid of".
"Thanks, grandpa" Spyro smiled.
After a while, they fell back to sleep.
Meanwhile…
After three straight hours of playing a new game he'd mysteriously gotten last week, Johnny was finally starting to get tired. Ever since he had rescued Cynder from that portal, he had nothing to do but sit around and find something to do. Mostly, that something revolved around playing videogames, trying to help Spyro get his powers back, complaining about one of Volteer or Cyril's lectures, helping Cynder and Malefor get adjusted to their new life, and try to see visions with Ignitus.
He changed into his pajamas, powered down the orb Volteer had made for him, and got into bed without a second thought. However, just before he got to sleep, a bright ball of yellow light floating through the slightly open door announced Sparx's arrival. Johnny was kind of surprised by this. In the last two months, Sparx had been complaining more and more ever since Cynder and Malefor showed up. Cynder had received the worst of this treatment, seeing as she was the only one on the two who had tried to kill him. But after getting backhanded over and over again, he realized there was one person he hated more than Cynder: Johnny. Why he was coming into his room, Johnny had no clue.
"Hey Johnny, some night huh" Sparx said. "Really beautiful".
"Sparx, what do you want" Johnny asked, his eyes narrowing.
"A backhand" Sparx shrugged.
"Why" Johnny asked.
"So I can forget the fact that Cynder's leaving" Sparx shrugged again.
"Wait, back up" Johnny said. "What's Cynder doing?"
"Ok, I went out to get some fresh air because I haven't been sleeping much these days since Cynder and Malefor showed up" Sparx explained. "When low and behold… there she was sneaking out into the garden".
Johnny quickly got up and slipped a pair of socks and hiking boots on.
"Come on, Sparx. We have to find here" Johnny said. "It's dangerous for her to be outside the Temple at night".
"It's dangerous for any of us to be outside at night" Sparx nodded. "Besides, Ignitus said we have to wait for Spyro's powers to return… 'cause he's weak".
"Quit complaining and come on, Sparx" Johnny said, opening the door and heading into the hallway.
"Why do I know this guy" Sparx moaned as he went out as well.
After going down a small hallway, they entered a larger hallway. Unfortunately, everyone was snoring loudly.
"Quiet… we mustn't wake them" Johnny whispered.
"What" Sparx shouted. "I can't hear you over all this snoring!"
Johnny and Sparx repeated what they had done when they first met Ignitus: making themselves look unnoticeable as they slipped out. Eventually, they made their way to the outside of the Temple entrance. After traversing several ledges, they finally caught up with Cynder. She didn't look happy at the sight of the human.
"Cynder, what are you doing out here" Johnny asked. "You know it's dangerous to be out at night".
"You shouldn't have followed me Johnny" Cynder said. "Please, don't make this harder than it already is".
"You lost me" Sparx said.
"I'm leaving you guys, I don't belong here" Cynder explained. "After all I've done… all I've put you through… I can't stay here".
"Cynder, nobody blames you for what happened" Johnny said.
"No, but I blame myself" Cynder said. "And every day that goes by, I'm reminded of it".
"Oh, don't tell me this is about that incident last week" Sparx moaned.
Flashback…
"Come on here it is" Cynder was calling out to them.
She was leading them towards a hidden training chamber in the Temple. Spyro, Johnny, and Sparx were close behind.
"Great, we get to spend the day inside the creepy dragon room" Sparx said rather sarcastically. "I need new friends".
"I don't know, Cynder" Spyro said. "I'm not even sure how this works"
"Relax, it'll be fun" Cynder laughed as a practice dummy appeared in the middle of the arena. "All you have to do is stand outside the circle. Then whatever you think of will appear inside the circle. Try it."
Spyro tried for a whole hour trying to send his flames out, but nothing happened.
"Nothing" Sparx laughed. "See, I told you he couldn't so it".
At that moment, Spyro sent out a small fireball, knocking the dummy down.
"I did it" Spyro said excitedly.
"See, it was only a matter of time" Cynder said.
Johnny had perched himself on a ledge above the door. He applauded ever so slightly.
"Give me something more challenging" Spyro challenged her.
"Yeah, Cynder, what are you thinking" Sparx laughed.
"All right tough guy, try this one" Cynder said, concentrating on the center of the ring.
However, instead of another dummy, a large ape wearing heavy-set armor and two large swords appeared.
"Cynder" it growled.
Johnny reacted instinctively. Before the threat could fully draw its swords, Johnny floored it with a seated senton and sent an energy spike through the chest, causing the illusion to disappear.
"How… how did you do that" Cynder asked shakily.
"I'll tell you later" Johnny said. "Let's just get out of here before something else happens".
Present…
"What about Spyro" Johnny asked. "You're just going to leave without telling him goodbye?"
"Johnny, you and Spyro's place is here, your destiny is here" Cynder said. "But mine is out there for me to find. Good-bye, Johnny".
Johnny didn't give her the chance. As soon as she took off down the trail, he grabbed her tail, pulling her back toward the Temple.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa" Johnny said. "At least wait until tomorrow".
Cynder looked up at him and sighed. She had learned quickly that as long as he was still breathing, he would never let her hear the end of it if she left.
"All right" she resigned.
"Hooray" Sparx groaned. "Now can we finally get some sleep around here? I've only been sorta half-sleeping these days".
This turned out to be a dumb thing to say, for at that moment, Cynder fell unconscious.
"Hey… I wanna sleep too, but I didn't mean NOW" Sparx said. "Let's at least get inside you guys. It's dark out… and I don't like it".
However, Cynder refused to get up. Worried, Johnny went over to her.
"Hello" Johnny said. "Anyone home? Yoo-hoo!"
Meanwhile…
Spyro was sitting up for fifteen minutes now. He thought he heard footsteps not too long ago. He thought it was Cynder or Johnny taking a breather, so he thought he'd stay up until they got back.
Suddenly, a strong wave of exhaustion came over him. He couldn't stay up and collapsed between Ignitus and Malefor.
Well this is certainly going to be interesting
