Why are there no Spyro/Final Fantasy fics?
Oh well...here's one!
"Finally, some peace!" A purple dragon said, falling on his side with a large sigh of relief.
"You'd think that after a year, people would stop hounding you down for being so famous," A black dragon said sarcastically, laying down next to him.
The purple one looked at her with an "un-amused face", "All I want is a little peace. I haven't been able to relax because of all of those crazy fans!"
"What did you expect, we took down the Dark Master, and you put the world back the way it was."
The purple dragon closed his eyes, "I'm doing something I haven't done in forever: taking a nap."
"Whatever floats your boat Spyro." The black dragon said , laying her head down to sleep as well.
After about two hours, Spyro suddenly jolted awake, looking around with fear. He moved over to his companion and nudged her.
"Cynder, wake up!" He half whispered and half yelled.
She opened up her eyes lazily and took her time in standing. "What is-"
"Shush! Do you hear that?" Spyro asked. A rustling sounded out what he was talking about. The two stood there crouching, ready to attack should it be hostile.
An arrow shot out from their side, striking Cynder with amazing accuracy in the base of her wings. She yelled out in pain as the crystalline arrow stuck itself in her.
"Cynder, are you alright!" Spyro asked, concern in his voice.
Before she could answer, bluish-white crystals began to cover her wings, or rather; her wings began to turn into said crystal.
A large being, comprised totally of crystal stepped out and revealed itself. It seemed to be in the form of a suit of armor, a black suit. Two piercing yellow eyes shined at the two, one arm was in the form of a shield, while the other was a free hand.
Another one stepped out, same form, same color, but with red eyes instead. Its left arm was holding a crystal bow, and it was aimed at Cynder.
Spyro growled before attacking the first crystal monster, his claws doing nothing against it. It used its free hand to pick him up and throw him against the ground. The second monster aimed its bow at Spyro before letting loose an arrow into his chest.
"NO!" Cynder cried out, she ran to the archer crystal and tried to swipe at it, but it caught her and forced her to watch as the purple crystal slowly over took Spyro's body.
"We have no inertest in you, L'Cie." A strange voice called out in her head. She was thrown against the ground as the first monster, its free hand now a spear, stabbed her, but thankfully missing any vitals. The crystal archer grabbed Spyro, who had completely become a purple crystal, and vanished along with the other attacker.
"L…Cie?" Cynder struggled to get out before fainting.
"SPYRO!" Cynder yelled as she jolted upright suddenly. On her side was a much larger light blue dragon.
"Calm down, Cynder." He said. "Are you alright?"
She shook her head. "No, where's Spyro? Those two…things that attacked us?"
"Spyro was with you?"
"Cyril, please don't tell me…" Cynder feared the worst.
"It's true." He said. "We weren't aware that he was missing. In fact, you're lucky to be alive. You just suddenly appeared here at the temple."
"Wha…how?"
"That would be me." A female voice called out.
Cynder looked over and saw tall pink dragon walking towards them on her hind legs. A pink mane almost covered her pale blue eyes, and a strange sword was attached to her back, strange because the handle didn't seem to fit for the weapon. The belt it was attached to also connected to a red pouch that was attached to her leg.
"I found you in the fields, and thought you needed help, this was the closest place I could find." She said.
Cynder could only stare at her. "Who are you?" She asked.
"I am called Lightning. Nothing more, nothing less to you." Lightning walked up closer to Cynder and seemed to examine her abdomen.
"Just as I thought, a L'Cie." Lightning said before pulling away.
Cynder looked down and gasped. On her stomach was a strange black marking, clearly visible against the red.
"What is this?" She asked.
"The marking of a Pulse L'Cie. It'll take a while to explain." Lightning took a deep breath.
"This marking is supposed to be unique from where I come from. Two worlds used to exist between each other, the enormous Pulse, and the cocooned Cocoon. Used to, because Cocoon is sort of non operational now.
"L'Cie are those chosen by Fal'Cie – beings having the power of gods – to complete a certain task, called a Focus. When they do, they will either into a Crystal for eternity or temporarily, either to complete a new Focus, or with their brand gone and back to who the used to be.
"The marking you have is one of a Pulse L'Cie, which would mean your Focus would normally be to destroy Cocoon, but seeing as…um…my group and I did that already, you might have a different Focus. You are never told what your Focus is, and if you don't complete it, you'll turn into a Cie'th, a living dead.
"The way you figure out your Focus is by any visions you have. Did you see anything?"
Cynder thought for a moment before remembering. "I saw Spyro, looking like he was imprisoned, and this strange guy with these crystals surrounding him."
Lightning nodded. "My best guess is that you have to save this Spyro and take down whoever that guy is.
"Those things he controls, it took me a while to figure out what they were. They're called Krystals, spelled with a 'K', and are living crystals with spirits of the past in them. Most of the time, they are hostile, and your claws won't be enough." It was then that Cynder noticed that there was almost an exact copy of Lightning's strange weapon leaning against the wall. Lightning walked over to it as Cynder stood up from the bed. Lightning tossed the weapon to Cynder, who barely caught its handle.
"What is this?" She asked Lightning.
"A gunblade. You might have a bit of trouble understanding how to use it, but you can learn, and to do that you have to fight." Lightning moved in front Cynder and drew her gunblade.
(Blinded by Light – Final Fantasy XIII
Character Status: Cynder – HP 300
Note: this is be as though a tutorial is given by Lightning, as if it were an actual game)
Lightning Stood in front of Cynder, waiting fro the dragon to stand on her hind legs, in order to free up her forepaws for using the gunblade.
"The way we fight is different from how you fight. Master our style, and you will have strength you never imagined" Lightning said. *ATB System Tutorial*
Cynder dashed forward and attempted to slash with her gunblade. Lightning jumped back and attempted to counter, landing a hit on Cynder.
(HP – 267)
"Remember, you are the most important person who is fighting. If you go down, then it's game over." Lightning warned. *Game Over Conditions*
"As a L'Cie, you have power far greater than before. Try casting magic at me." *Magic casting Tutorial*
Cynder pulled back her left paw, and focused on this "power" that Lightning spoke of. She felt her paw suddenly become much hotter, before flinging it forward, sending a ball of fire right at Lightning, landing a direct hit.
"Never stop after one hit. Keep going until your opponent falls." *Command stacking tutorial*
Cynder ran forward again, this time slashing at Lightning twice, before jumping back and pointing the blade at her. It had been replaced with a barrel, and Cynder had a pretty good idea why. She pulled the trigger and fire burst from the barrel, sending a projectile towards Lightning. Lightning sidestepped the shot, before countering with her own at Cynder, who this time dodged.
"Good, now try and defeat me!" Lightning challenged
(HP restored
Cynder HP 300
Lightning HP 500)
Cynder waited for Lightning to make the first move (Keep in mind that Cyril is watching this XD) before deciding to attack herself. Cynder slashed a total of three times at Lightning, missing only once. Lightning countered the attack before both of them backed off of each other,
(C HP 231
L HP 402)
Cynder charged up another Fire spell, this time releasing three off at Lightning, each one hitting its mark.
(L HP 317)
Lightning ran forward and tried to slash at Cynder, barely missing when Cynder dodged. She retaliated by swinging her gunblade upwards and sending Lightning into the air. Cynder jumped up and slashed Lightning three times before smashing her into the ground and letting off another shot with the "gun" part of her gunblade.
(L HP 163)
When Cynder landed, Lightning suddenly ran up and attack with a spinning strike (AKA Blitz).
(C HP 131)
Cynder stood back up from the sudden knock back and threw another Fire spell at Lightning before suddenly rushing in and trying the same tactic against her, successfully as well.
(Lightning defeated
Music stops)
Lightning slid back and stood up, holding up her left paw for Cynder to stop.
"Not bad. You might have a shot at this."
Bet you thought I was talking about Spyro. XD
REVEIWS WILL BLESS ME!
