The X Legacy.
It was long believed their were only 7 elements, Fire, Electricity, Ice, Earth, Posion, Wind, Fear, Shadow, and Convexity. They were wrong. There are 9 Super-Elements, Plasma, Ion, Dark-Matter, Anti-Matter, Creation, Weather, Solar, Nuclear, and Lunar. The ones with these 9 Super-Elements were exiled, just for being different, so far, only 9 have been discovered, they all live in a city called City 9, a city with 9 inhabitants, Daybringer, Moonshine, Doom, Untouchable, Shadow Storm, Star Lighter, Creator, Biosphere, and Beam. All of them left their homes, forced into exile to protect the ones with less power. But the day this all changed, was the day THEY came... A purple dragon, and a black dragoness, they ended one war, now they must end another.
Chapter 1: Sighted.
Shadow Storm stood atop the tower and watched as the sun set. It slowly sank past the horizon, giving up its struggle, and surrendering to the night. As it grew dark, he scanned the jungle, the trees were dense, and a fog had descended like a ghostly hand attempting to smother the Earth as it slept. Below him, running though the streets like a blur of flesh, wind, and light combined, was Beam. He often did this, running silently through the streets, as though he was looking for something. What was he looking for? He would do this during the day as well, running like a maniac, all day, never stopping. Shadow Storm eyed the blur as it ran the roads like you or I breathe, naturally, and without thought. He rarely slept now, he was always running. Shadow Storm remembered the time they had tried to stop him with a brick wall, thanks to Creator, who had Created a brick wall just a bit too late, and Beam smashed right through it, babbling something about almost arriving at his final destination, and for us to be patient. He didn't seem to get that he was running down the same roads over and over. Shadow Storm eyed him for another minute before noticing that... Beam was slowing down! He knocked twice on the tower roof before diving off the roof halfway down, he backfliped to the stand position and speard his black wings out, there was a whistling as small white bands of wind appeared at his wing tips. He hit the ground with a silent thud that rocked his vision. He stood and waited for Biosphere. Biosphere had been in the tower, lying peacefully on his back on a pile of straw, sound asleep, but as soon as he heard the two knocks, he opened his eyes. Shadow Storm never made a mistake, something was happening. He rolled to his feet and raced down the stairs, as he ran, he thought if Shadow was timing him, he often did. Biosphere shook his head, Shadow was too cautious. He built obilisks filled with the food he had removed from the storehouse, saying it was too insecure, he gave the one key to Moonshine, on account she always prepared the food, being afraid someone would poison her, which was impossible, because everyone ate together, except Beam who always had his food, "to go". Biosphere jumped the last 3 flights before running outside, Shadow Storm didn't look at him as he said, "You could fit a whole montage in the time it took you to get here." Biosphere stared at him indigently, "It took me all of 10 seconds!" he said proudly. "It took me 5." Biosphere rolled his eyes and asked, "Whatever, what's the situation?" Shadow turned to him suddenly and rasped, "Beam's slowing down!" Biosphere's eyes widened to the size of oranges, Beam had been running at top speed for practically a full year, why slow down now? "Didn't Doom say she wanted to be there when he stopped?" Biosphere remembered, he wasn't expecting Shadow to react the way he did, Shadow Storm took a deep breath and yelled loud enough to wake everyone in City 9. "BEAM IS SLOWING DOWN!" The house opposite the tower, was a cuboid like most of the edifices in City 9, a door now opened to reveal a navy blue dragoness, it was Doom, she had destroyed an entire city with her Ion power, she was attacked by a band of robbers, they had beat her, and took everything she had on her, it had pushed Doom to her emotional breaking point and triggered her Super Ability. Doom's power was Ion, she could summon deadly beams of energy from the sky that caused immense damage to anything within a mile of her. She also had chromatopsia, which made her unable to distinguish colors. "Moonshine owes me a steak." Doom said as she walked out of her home towards Biosphere and Shadow Storm. "Left." Shadow Storm said as Beam approached them at a blazing pace, slower then he usually went, but still lightning fast. Shadow and Biosphere sidestepped left just as Beam barreled past them and stopped just in front of the tree line. "I guess I owe you a prime steak Doom." Said Moonshine who had joined them as Beam had ran at the tree line. Beam slowly turned around, his eyes fixed on the sky. Biosphere looked straight up and said, "D drop." everyone knew what this meant. Daybringer would often just drop from the sky when he was wanted or needed. He often flew above the clouds, admiring the city from his high vantage point. This had always shocked the others to have a large dragon smash into the ground beside them whenever they said his name, so they came up with the code: D drop. And they would immediately brace themselves for the seismic impact. Daybringer landed with a thud that shook the ground. As usual. Daybringer was by far the most strongest, and largest dragon in City 9, his power was Nuclear, something he used wisely. When he was young, he found a large gem that was actually a symbiotic creature. That night, it had drilled up his left paw, through his arm, to his forehead where it connected to his brain. It used his left arm as a breeding ground for these gems, which grow out of his arm, he destroyed his house and his family with his power, but feels no remorse for doing so. "You called?" he asked, like he always did. "Technically, no. But we did think you'd want to be here." Star Lighter said as she walked sleepily towards them, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Shadow Storm took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as soon as Star Lighter spoke. Biosphere noticed and smiled knowingly. Shadow shot him a look fierce enough to melt stone. Biosphere just smiled and made a zipping motion across his mouth, Untouchable and Creator approached a second later. "So Beam's finally stopped?" asked Untouchable, or Touch, as everyone called him, he was wearing his protective leather "suit" as always, with only his head showing. His Super Ability was Anti-Matter, anything, or any one he touched equal or having leds mass to him, was destroyed. He had destroyed his entire home and school with his power. Then they had exiled him, for being different. Beam continued to scan the sky, eyes squinting, searching, suddenly a burst of light flashed in the sky, everyone turned towards the flash. Beam hopped in excitement. "Oh boy! I got here just in time!" Floating in the sky was a purple portal with some sort of mist seeping out, two other objects flew out of the portal, 2 glowing balls, one was purple, the other black. When the orbs flew out, the portal closed and everyone felt weightless for half a second, there were random crashes as mundane objects all around City 9 broke. The two glowing orbs were on a beeline for them, the purple one fell short and crashed into the ground in front of them, while the black on smashed into the tower, and fell to the ground, no one spoke, they just watched the two glowing balls dim, reveling a purple dragon and a black dragoness. Both were unconscious, and not moving. Moonshine bent down and felt the purple one's pulse, steady. She stood up and walked over to the black dragoness, she bent down to check her pulse, but as soon as Moonshine's claws touched her neck, the black dragoness jumped up, and locked Moonshine in a choke hold. Moonshine tried to break free but failed, "If you're wondering where you are, you're in City 9. The only city that isn't governed by a bunch of old racist fools." Daybringer said as he tackled the black dragoness, he rolled forward causing Moonshine to have a moment of freedom, which she exploited by pushing off with her tail like a spring. Daybringer now had the black dragoness in an armlock, "Now, what is your name?" The black dragoness struggled for another second before replying. "Cynder." "Really? That's an strange name, it fits you." Daybringer said. "Now listen very closely Cynder, I am going to let go, and when I do, I want you to identify the purple one. Understand?" "Yes." "Ok." Daybringer let go and Cynder walked over to the purple one, "His name is Spyro, he and I have been through a lot." "Really?" asked Shadow Storm, "Like what? War?" Cynder looked at him, a bit confused. "Yes, actually." She turned to him again, "Yes, he's alive." Moonshine said. "I checked his pulse. It's steady." The purple dragon moaned, Cynder bent down next to the purple dragon named Spyro, picked him up, and looked at the others. "Is there a place where we could stay? I'm not going anywhere without him." Star Lighter yawned and said as she stepped to the side of the road. "Beam." immediately, they jumped to the side as Beam began to run. Daybringer grabbed Cynder and Spyro just as Beam ran through. "You'll want to watch out for Beam," Daybringer warned. "he runs a lot. And by a lot, I mean nonstop." Doom yawned. And said drowsily, "Is it time to go to bed now?" she yawned again. "I'm really tired." she walked back into her house. Barely staying awake long enough to get inside. Shadow Storm piped up, "If you see something that could threaten the city, warn us, Biosphere's the day watch, I'm night." Shadow jumped up and flew to the top of the tower landing on the the roof and watched the horizon. Biosphere quickly ran into the tower, muttering, "Over cautious zelp will probably time me for getting back up." Moonshine had already left leaving Creator, Touch, and Star Lighter. Creator yawned and turned down the road, "Follow me Cynder. There's a vacancy. As always." Touch and Star Lighter said goodbye and went home, narrowly avoiding Beam again. Creator walked into an empty lot and held out both hands, two streams of steal bricks flew out of his hands, the bricks automaticly formed a foundation, and began to build themselves into two identical houses, when the last brick left his hand, paint flew out and painted one house purple, and the other black. "There you go." Creator said as he walked past a shocked Cynder. "You'll see even weirder things tomorrow." he called over his shoulder as he turned down a different road. Cynder walked into the purple house to find it fully furnished. He lay Spyro gently on his bed before walking into her own house and lying down. Who were these people? They were so different! She decided to ask them about their city's past tomorrow. She slowly drifted off to sleep just as Spyro's eyes fluttered open. Spyro looked around, he felt so weak, so tired, despite the fact he had no idea where he was, he closed his eyes, his strength ebbing away as he slowly succumbed to sleep. "Cynder..." he moaned as he fell asleep.
