The Power of Darkness

A/N this is my first fan fiction everyone so be nice but send me some constructive criticism. Be aware that this is my version of what happens to Spyro after the events of Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning.

Prologue…

The time was a year before the first elemental dragon ever came to be. The day was a normal summer day. It was near the equator in a tropic environment.

Outside the atmosphere hundreds of strange metal canisters hurtled through the void of space toward the planet. They all traveled together as one swarm as if they were being controlled by some force. Once they got close enough to the atmosphere they suddenly shifted velocity. They turned toward the planet surface and increased their speed. All of the objects began to glow a bright orange as they sped through the atmosphere. They then bunched closer together. The orange glow began to fade away as they got near the surface. The roaring sound of the heat went away and all was silent until they all crashed down into a forest with a thundering boom that could be heard from miles away. A massive plume of dust shot up into the air and coated everything for miles. There were hundreds of small craters from each vessel's impact. Despite the chaos one of the ships moved slightly. Then its side opened up like a door and a tall creature walked out.

He was tall and his skin was a black as a raven but with a slight dark purple shade to it. He was bipedal and had two arms. His legs ended in feet that had long curved claws. Two in the front and one in the back of his foot. His arms ended in hands that had five fingers each ended in a long, razor sharp claw that was more like a knife. His mouth was similar to an eagle's beak but it had rows of serrated teeth. He had wings similar to that of a dragon and eight spikes set up in two vertical rows along his back. He also had a tail that ended in another spike. His eyes were small but they were a solid color of bright red.

Soon all the other capsules opened and identical creatures walked out of them. They all gathered around a leader figure who gave them commands.

"Quickly! We must set up the ritual before dark or else Drega will be displeased," he commanded. All of the creatures followed his orders. They moved over to clearing where their impact hadn't affected the landscape and they got into a large circle. The leader took a large blue crystal and placed it in the center of the circle. He joined the arrangement and all of the creatures moved their hands towards the crystal. It began to glow brightly and soon an aura radiated from the center and began to take shape of a tornado. It got bigger quickly and rose up to beyond the height of the tallest tree. The center of it glowed bright white while the rest of it was a light blue color. It continued to rise up to the storm clouds that were forming. Once it was up there the cloud violently split up into four massive lightning strikes and traveled through the storm clouds in separate directions.

One of the beams traveled and then hit a raging forest fire. A dragon was close by and was electrocuted by the strike. The second beam hit another thunder storm and then electrocuted another dragon that was flying through it. The third hit a glacier and then electrocuted another dragon that was walking through it. The final one hit the earth itself and then electrocuted another dragon. All four of these dragons woke and soon found out that they had remarkable abilities for breathing these particular elements.

Back at the clearing the creatures moved back to their ships but once they got there they noticed something odd. One of the capsules hadn't opened. One of them ventured a little closer to investigate but then it exploded open in a dark purple blast! Out of the capsule another creature walked out but this one had an angry look on his face. The leader recognized him and then yelled,

"It's Escora! Stop him!"

Several of the creatures ran toward Escora but they were all grabbed and tossed aside. Escora's hand began to glow dark purple as he punched one of the creatures and he was sent flying backwards into a rock wall thus killing him. Escora went for the leader but he was already getting into his vessel. Escora ran after him but he was stalled by more of the creatures which he worked his way through but by the time he got to the vessel it had already taken off. The other ships activated their booster engines and they flew up into the sky to leave Escora on his own. He roared in frustration as he began to lose sight of them. He was left on this planet to fend for himself now…
