Note: This has been an idea that has been nagging at the back of my mind for months (seriously MONTHS) now this is a Spyro and Yu-Gi-Oh crossover so read and enjoy.

Chapter one: The name of the game.

Spyro walked through the halls of the dragon temple holding a deck of 40 cards as a tear dropped from his cheek onto the floor. Today had started like any other day but it didn't end like one, for you see Spyro had just lost the one who he cared for and loved the most... Cynder. Spyro walked into his room as memories appeared in his mind.

Flashback

Spyro and Cynder ran though the temple garden they had just learned how to stand on their hind legs instead of all fours. Spyro was in front of Cynder but Cynder was catching up fast she had just caught up when a strange light came from the training room Spyro and Cynder ran inside to investigate.

When Spyro ran into the Training room he saw a human in expensive looking clothes with white hair. Spyro stepped forward but froze as the man began to speak. "Are you the one they call Spyro?" The man asked "Y-yes and you are?" Spyro replied "I am known as Maxamilion but you can call me Pegasus" Pegasus explained "Why are you here?" Spyro asked "don't worry I am only here to share my game of duel monsters with the realms." Pegasus said before tossing a small package to Spyro. Spyro opened it cautiously in case it was a trap but all that was there was a deck of 40 cards. Spyro lifted the deck and on the bottom of the deck he saw a card with a picture of a black dragon and on the top of the card it said Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon.

"So what's the catch?" Spyro asked "all I want is for you to enter my new tournament." Pegasus explained calmly "And if I refuse?" Spyro asked "Don't worry about that. Given the right motivation I can make anyone do what I want." Pegasus said before moving some hair away from his right eye revealing a golden eye that shone in the sun but as soon as it had happened Spyro felt shock as he saw a black cloud coming from the eye. Spyro braced himself for the impact but instead the cloud went around him and hit Cynder instead. Cynder fell to the floor as what looked like another Cynder came from her body and went into a card Pegasus held up.

"What did you just do?" Spyro asked shocked "I've taken your friends soul if you want it back you must enter my tournament and beat me in a duel." Pegasus said before using the gold eye to disappear in a flash of light.

End Flashback

Spyro fell on his bed and sobbed hard "Damn you Pegasus." Spyro said sadly before getting up and making his decision "Very well Pegasus I'll enter your tenement and win Cynder's soul back." Spyro thought before picking up his deck and ran towards the portal room.
