Episode 1

A New Beginning

"Well, young dragon, where might you be?" The newly acquainted Chronicler and former Fire Guardian, Ignitus pondered as he read through the Book of Deaths. The two young dragons, Spyro and Cynder, have saved the world by stopping Malefor, The Dark Master, a purple dragon that went rogue after being exposed into the darkness. And with one last fury, Spyro repaired the world that was once being torn apart by the Destroyer. "May the Ancestors look after you both, wherever you are." Ignitus stopped reading the Book of Deaths as it floated back on the shelves. But he found one book that had a glowing page. The book floated out and opened to the bright page and Ignitus read on. "By the Ancestors!" Ignitus exclaimed.

The two dragons, Spyro and Cynder, alive and well, were flying together throughout the rebuilt fields of Avalar, which were now beautiful as ever. They stopped by the Twilight Falls, as they landed next to the falls. "Everything's all perfect now." The black dragoness, Cynder said. "It sure does. It feels like home again." The purple dragon, Spyro said. Cynder turned to the falls. "This brings back memories." She said. "Yeah, when we fought against that Golem and we met Hunter." Spyro added. He then began to blush. "What?" Cynder asked. "Cynder...back then at the core, those three words you said..." Spyro began. "Yeah?" Cynder began to feel excited. "...I...I love you too." Cynder then locked her lips with Spyro's and they gave each other a passionate kiss. They stopped after ten seconds to catch their breath. "That...was...beautiful..." Cynder said. "Yeah...well...not as beautiful as you." Spyro said. Cynder looked at him in surprise but then giggled. Then they nuzzled each other for a bit. "So, Spyro, can I see your parents?" Cynder asked. "What?" Spyro asked. "You know, your foster parents, when you were with Sparx."

"Oh, right. Sure, when?"

"Right now would be nice."

"Okay, it's not far from here I don't think. Follow me."

"Of course darling." Spyro was a bit dumbstruck over Cynder's response but he went with it as the two of them flew together over the forest.

A portal opened revealing a large starship named "Phoenix of Victory." Inside was a large number of soldiers including docking bays, training rooms and cafeterias. Inside one of the docking bays was a team of young humans and a strange cryosleep pod. One of them with a full auto shotgun, an assault rifle, two pistols, gauntlets that activate and reveal blades made out of orange energy and with black, red and orange armour with flames was named Jake Triwel. The soldier with a sniper rifle, an assault rifle, two revolvers and black and green armour was named Jordan Kross. The soldier with a burst rifle, two machine pistols, a sub-machine gun, a katana and with black and magenta armour was named Claire Rase. The soldier with blue and red armour, a rocket launcher, a multi barrelled grenade launcher, a heavy machine gun and a large mace was named Mark Smoke. The soldier with orange and blue armour, a double barrelled shotgun, an assault rifle, a revolver and a large machete was named James Frost. The soldier with blue and aqua armour, a pistol, a pulse rifle, a sub-machine gun and two combat knives was named Chloe Esmerelda. The final soldier with grey and red armour with flames, a flamethrower, a single barrelled grenade launcher, a semi auto shotgun and an energy axe was named Mitchell Grey. "Why are we even here? We're supposed to be peacekeepers, handling civilians n' stuff. Leave this whole planet thing to the Qrax–Eux." Mitchell said. "Dude, you want to leave an investigation mission to those baby killers? They would just as soon as to blow this planet to kingdom come." James said. "Yeah, yeah, I heard that man." This planet was said to be an alternate Earth. Claire walked up to Chloe. "You're awfully quiet." Claire said. "Oh, just trying to prepare myself." Chloe said back. "Hey, worst comes to worst, we'll be kicked off the team. At least us ladies will be sticking together." Jake then looked toward a red and orange crystal in a canister and then picked it up. Suddenly, one of the ships thrusters exploded, along with a left wing. The ship was then tilting toward the planet and was caught into the atmosphere. Alarms all around inside the ship were blaring loudly with every single light into red. The soldiers and workers find the escape pods to launch out of the ship. Jake's team start to run to the escape pods but Jake didn't make it due to the intense heat from an unexpected fire that blocked his path. Then it felt like something hit the ship as Jake was flown across the room, slamming on the wall and he was stabbed by the crystal. Red electricity then came out of the crystal, shocking Jake. As he screamed in pain, the ship then hit the planet floor, creating a large earthquake that would be felt from a hundred miles away. Then everything went black.

As Spyro and Cynder were proceeding through the swamp to find Spyro's foster parent's home, they were being blocked by a couple of Frog Weeds but they easily defeated then with their elemental powers and proceeded on. "So Spyro, how long have you known these dragonflies before you knew what you really are?" Cynder asked. "For about twelve years. After all that time, I thought I was just a giant dragonfly." Spyro answered. "Wow. That would explain why you and Sparx always stick together like BFF's." Cynder noticed the sun coming down. "Looks like it's getting dark. We might as well sleep here for the night." Cynder suggested. Spyro agreed. The ground suddenly started to shake slightly and when they looked up, they saw a large metal ship in flames coming down towards the earth. When it crashed, it caused a large earthquake and nearly every tree around Spyro and Cynder were coming down towards them. They both jumped out of the way as the trees hit the ground and the earthquake stopped. "Are you alright?" Cynder asked. "I'm okay." Spyro said. "What was that thing?"

"I don't know but we should find a place to rest before we go any further." So the two of them set up camp and went to sleep.

As Jake finally gained consciousness, he felt...different. He stood up and looked at his hands. They were changed into large claws. He then looked at himself more. His armoured parts turned demonic and changed a little, while the black suit under his armour merged into his skin and turned into scales. His head turned into a demon like appearance, along with gaining wings. His feet were reptilian, as his toes had small spikes coming out. His gauntlets had large demonic blades coming out and they suddenly shrunk into the gauntlets. He was turned into a monster! He then looked at his weapons. All of them were demonised with red and orange flame markings. He was suddenly set on fire and his body was changing back the way it was with his armour on. "What...just happened?" Jake asked himself. He then found an inferno orange armoured super car with hot rod flames with machine guns, small rear wings, a jet engine exhaust and retro style wheels. "Glad that's still in one piece." Jake said. He then walked up to the super car and when he touched it, a sudden spark of orange energy zapped the vehicle from Jake's hand leaving the super car on fire. But instead of the metal melting, it was changing. The paint job changed from inferno orange to midnight black and the red flames gave an orange glow inside and a black western dragon appeared, the wheels then changed into futuristic tuner like rims and it grew three supercharger intakes, side exhaust pipes and the rear wings grew bigger. The fire surrounding Jake's vehicle were then lead to the tires and when the flames reached them, the super car turned itself on. Jake was shocked to see what he has done to his vehicle but he then seemed to like what he did to it. He then put on his helmet with a wide Y looking visor, got in the vehicle, stepped on the accelerator and drove off into the forest in the night.

As Jake was racing through the forest in the night time, with the tires on fire leaving trails behind, little did he know he was being followed by a black and red heavily armoured super car nearly identical to Jake's. It had red tribal like flames and had the same weapons as Jake's super car.

(Insane Face by Brian Tyler starts playing)

It was catching up on Jake and unexpectedly rammed Jake's car. "Guess who's back?" someone said with a deep, demonic like voice on Jake's radio in his car. He put up a screen to see who was driving the vehicle that rammed him. The driver was wearing a helmet with a red skull paint with a crack by his left eye, which was red and had black and red armour with spikes and blades. Jake turned off the screen and focused on driving his vehicle. As the mysterious driver kept on ramming him, Jake tried to keep away from him, fast as possible. He tried drifting through tight corners but the mysterious driver kept on following him. But Jake began to realise something. When he was drifting through corners, the mysterious driver kept on hitting the trees when he was drifting. They were suddenly reaching a cliff side and Jake had an idea. When they reached the cliff side, Jake drifted really close to the edge and the mysterious driver did the same but the grip of his vehicle wasn't enough. He then drove off of the cliff side and landed on both four wheels.

(Music ends)

He got out of his vehicle and looked up to the cliff side. It was about 150 ft high. He then got back into his vehicle and drove off, either to find a way to get back up or falling back. Jake was relieved of getting away from that driver that tried to kill him. He then drove further in the forest hoping to find some of his friends.

Spyro then woke up as he heard a faint noise that sounded like a combination of a wolf's howl, a dragon's roar and a snake's hiss. Cynder woke up as well. "Do you hear that?" Spyro asked. "What is that?" Cynder said. It began to be a bit louder and they saw a faint light through the trees. The noise got louder and the light got brighter, like something is coming up to them!

Jake was suddenly about to ram a purple and a black object and he quickly hit the brakes but he then spun out of control. It was completely hard to see since everything was spinning around. Then everything went black and the last thing Jake heard was the sound of his vehicle crashing.

Two years ago...

Location: Los Angeles

2100 Hours

As Jake slowly woke up, he found his hands duck taped on a steering wheel. He was wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans and black and white sneakers. It was only an amount of time when he found out he was being lifted up by a magnet and about to be dropped into a crusher! A group of people in black suits watch as a grey sedan that Jake is inside fall into the crusher. As he landed, the crusher was activated and was slowly crushing the vehicle. Jake pulled really hard to pull off the duck tape and he succeeded. He then punched the sunroof of the vehicle really hard a couple of times. The glass finally broke apart and Jake climbed out of the vehicle and got out of the crusher. He landed at one side of the crusher from the people at the other and found a white muscle car and sneaked up to get inside it. But when he opened the door one of the people found him. "What the hell? He's out of the car! Grab him!" The man said. Jake got in and quickly hot wired the car, hit the accelerator and quickly drove off. Just as Jake thought he got away, a black SUV rammed the side of the car and crashed into the side of a building. Jake got out and found a door by the building. The people inside the SUV got out and began to run up to Jake. "That's him! That's the guy!" One of them yelled. Jake opened the door and closed it behind him and barricaded it with a chair. He began to run up the stairs. He was up to the fourth floor until the door broke open. He got up to the roof floor and ran through the door. Then a helicopter with a machine gun attached hovered above the roof and Jake kept running. He jumped from roof to roof, dodging the bullets from the helicopter's machine gun. He then jumped and then landed on a dumpster and hid behind it from the helicopter. He waited for it to go away and eventually, it did. He then got in a nearby red super car and drove off. He dodged as many traffic as he can until he drifted too far and crashed onto a railway. Jake slowly recovered and took the seat belt off. He then fell on the roof, meaning he was upside down. He then heard the blaring noise of a train. He looked through the back windshield and saw a train coming! He quickly kicked the left window and crawled out and then ran just as soon as the train ran over the car. He continued running until a light shone above him and a different helicopter was hovering above him. The light blinded his vision and everything went white.

Present Day...

The strange orange metal machine now looked completely destroyed as Spyro and Cynder foresaw the damage. Suddenly, it made a loud demonic growl. The scratches and cracks emitted an orange energy and grew smaller and disappeared. The dents then "mended" themselves back into shape. The black material from the wheels were on fire and no matter how much power Spyro's ice breath has, it wouldn't go out. It seemed to be some vehicle due to the wheels and the strange large pipe coming out of the back of it, even though there wasn't a propeller or whatever was in there that was visible. "What do you think this is?" Cynder asked. "I don't know. I never seen anything like this." Spyro said. One side of the vehicle opened which frightened everyone and what was in it was an ape-like being wearing entirely black, red and orange armour. It then fell out of the vehicle and it began to gain conscious, stood up like an ape and then took it's helmet off. It had dark brown hair, peach-like coloured skin and brown eyes. "Oh man...what just happened?" The being said. Spyro and Cynder hid behind the vehicle so the being won't see them. It then turned to look at it's vehicle. He found there was no damage done to it since it repaired itself. The being then reached back inside the vehicle and picked up a strange looking metal object and put it on it's back. It then reached out to grab two small objects and holstered them by it's hips and he then grabbed another metal object and lifted it by its back. Cynder then stepped on a branch and it reacted the being. It then put its helmet back on and pulled out the metal object from its back and took aim with it. "Hello? Is anybody there? Just show yourself! I mean no harm!" The being said with a male voice. Spyro and Cynder then stepped out for the being to see and it seemed surprised.

Jake couldn't believe what he was seeing. Dragons. "I must be going crazy. Alright, IS THIS SOME SORT OF JOKE OR SOMETHING?!" Jake yelled at several directions. "This is no joke." The purple dragon said with a male voice. Jake was surprised to hear it can talk. "What? Have you never seen a dragon before?" The black dragon asked with a female voice. "HELL NO!" Jake yelled. "Calm down. If you mean no harm to us, then we mean no harm to you." The purple dragon said. Eventually, Jake lowered his auto shotgun and calmed down. "Okay, so what is your name?" The black dragon asked. "I'm Jake. Jake Triwel. What are your names?" Jake asked. "I'm Spyro. This is my friend Cynder." The young purple dragon introduced. "Okay, so where are we heading?"

"We're off to meet with my foster parents and brother Sparx."

"Okay, but how long was I out, since I...y'know." Jake turned to his car. "Not really that long honestly." Cynder said. As everyone was about to leave, they didn't realise that they were watched by a red dragon and a pink dragoness with a gold amulet with a small red heart shaped crystal. "It's really them!" The red dragon whispered. "But what is that thing that they were talking to?" The pink dragoness asked. "Don't know, but we should follow them, see where they're going."

The next day...

Spyro and Cynder finally found the little mushroom home that Sparx and his parents live while Jake followed them in his car. Jake got out and stayed with his vehicle while Spyro and the others landed and walked up to the mushroom. "Sparx? Are you there?" Spyro called out. The little yellow dragonfly came out of nowhere. "Spyro! Buddy! Your alive!" He said. "Sparx! It's good to see you too." Spyro said back. Flash and Nina came out of the mushroom house as well. "Spyro?" Nina asked. "Mom! Dad! Your alright!"

"My, have you grown." Nina and Flash notice Cynder. "Who are your friends?" Flash asked. "Mom, dad, this is Cynder." Spyro introduced. "It is an honour to meet you." Cynder said to Spyro's dragonfly parents. Suddenly, a loud screeching sound, then that loud roar mixed with a snakes hiss and a wolf's howl, erupted everywhere. Everyone turned what it was, but it was actually Jake in his vehicle. Every time it makes that noise, large blue and orange flames come out of the huge pipe from the back. "Who's he?" Sparx asked as he pointed to Jake. "We just met him last night. He said his name's Jake Triwel." Cynder said. "What're you doing?" Spyro asked Jake. "I'm testing the engine. I'm making sure nothing got ruined after I...y'know, crashed it." Jake said. "Engine?" Sparx asked. "That thing that's making all that noise and those flames come out of that big exhaust?"

"Oh I get it. What does this thing do anyway? Can it fly?"

"You'll have to excuse him. He complains a lot." Spyro said. "Yeah, I noticed." He revved the engine again, this time it was louder, along with that high pitched scream. "IS IT ALWAYS THIS LOUD!?" Cynder asked. "DON'T WORRY! YOU'LL GET USED TO IT!" Jake said as he then stopped the engine. "Hey, uh, Sparx is it? I have a friend that's about the same size as you with me." Jake said as he got out of his vehicle. "Really?" Sparx asked. "Yeah!"

"Where is he?"

"Down here." A slightly distorted and childish voice said. Everyone looks down between Jake's legs and see a small red and orange hologram of a child hiding behind Jake's left leg. "It's alright Alpha, they're friends. Hopefully." Jake said to the little hologram. Alpha then appeared up to Jake's shoulder and turned it's head to Jake. "They're all looking at me." Alpha said. "That's because they want to say hi to you. This is...uh...um...what were your names again?" Jake asked. "I'm Spyro. This is my friend Cynder, my brother Sparx, his parents Nina and Flash." Spyro introduced. "What is he?" Cynder asked Jake about Alpha. "He's a computer program, an A.I." Jake said. "What does the A stand for?" Spyro asked. "Artificial."

"And the I?"

"Intelligence."

"Ohhh. What does the A stand for again?" Sparx asked. Jake face palmed. "I don't get paid enough for this. Anyway, these A.I help us out in battle and give us enhancements to some of our equipment. Like these gauntlets here." Jake said as he raised one of his arms to show everybody one of his gauntlets. He then clenched a fist and when he did, an orange energy blade formed from it, which gave everyone but Jake and Alpha a fright. "Hey Alpha, upgrade gauntlets to Whipblade." Jake said to Alpha. "Okay." Alpha said as Jake's gauntlets flashed for a second. Jake then looks at a pile of rocks. Jake then looked like he threw something and the energy blade then launched away to the rocks, leaving a chain of energy connecting the blade and Jake's gauntlet. The blade hit the rocks and Jake whipped the chain of energy to the blade, causing a pulse of energy sending the rocks up in the air in zero gravity. Jake's gauntlet then deactivated and he pulled out his auto shotgun and successfully hit each rock and the zero gravity wears off, sending the rocks back to the ground. Everyone but Alpha was surprised. "WOW! That was amazing!" Spyro said. "All thanks to Alpha." Jake said. "How did you get so good at battle?" Cynder asked. "Well, it's a long story. We're part of the United Galaxies Command or UGC for short. They're the best soldiers from where we come from. We basically live at a same planet like yours, where we are now, but ours is different compared to yours. You see, dragons were myths from our world, so that's why I was so surprised to see you guys. Right now, we are in war with an alien army known as the Qrax-Eux. They are bloodthirsty creatures that want to dominate every single planet they see. Little of their kind are on our side to help us. Some of us soldiers are known to some townsfolk as "Daemonum tormentis". It just a Latin translation for "demons with guns". We are called that because we have demonic abilities. Although I didn't have demonic powers until now. If you're wondering, when we crashed here, I found myself as some sort of demon for a brief minute. I then changed back like this and that's pretty much it." Jake explained. "So do you know how to change into that demon you explained?" Spyro asked. "I dunno. I guess I just need to focus all of my energy to turn into it."

"Give it a try." Cynder said. "Okay, here goes." Jake then closed his eyes tight and clenched his fists. Suddenly, he was covered in fire and his body began to change. Under his armour, demon tattoos glowed brightly and before you know it, he changed shape. He then turned into the demon he was before and then opened his eyes. "Ugh, I feel like I been turned inside out." Jake said as he was in his demon form. He then realised he was in his demonic form and he was surprised along with everyone else. He then clenched his fists and the blades from his gauntlets grown back and were set on fire. He then swiftly cut a tree behind him with his right blade and it was split into half, leaving scorch marks from the edges. He then began to change back into his human form. "I could get used to this." Jake said. Then there was the sound of an ape howling somewhere. The group ran to where it was coming from and all they found was a small battalion of apes up on an edge. Jake then looked back to his vehicle and then back to the apes. He then started running back to the vehicle. "Hold them off as long as you can! I got an idea!" Jake yelled. The apes then charged at the group and Spyro breathed out a large mass of purple fire which was nothing like Cynder and Sparx have ever seen before. "Whoa, when can you do that?" Sparx asked. "I...I don't know." Spyro said. It only took out a small amount of apes. Meanwhile, Jake got in his vehicle and started it. He hit the accelerator and jumped over the hill, alerting everyone and then rammed through some of the ape and the fire was used to prevent any apes to get close to Jake in his vehicle. He then pressed two buttons on the steering wheel and they fired the two Vulcan Cannons at some of the apes while driving up to them. An ape then jumped on the hood of the vehicle and started punching the windshield, cracking it but thanks to the demonic energy Jake gave it, it then repaired itself every time the ape punches it. Jake then hit the brakes and it sent the ape flying away from his vehicle, which directly stopped next to the group and Jake got out with his weapons and helmet on. "So, what did I miss so far?" Jake asked jokingly. He then shot an incoming ape holding a large blade with his auto shotgun and then slashed another ape behind him with one of his energy blades. They continued fighting until the leader held up its paw and the ape soldiers backed away. The leader walked up to the group with a devilish look. "So, you're the one that came from that metal ship from the skies." The leader said to Jake. "No matter, we are really here to find you two." The leader pointed to Spyro and Cynder. "What do you want from us?" Spyro asked the leader. "Revenge. We're here to finish what our master started: killing you."

"You were part of Malefor's Dark Army, weren't you?" Cynder asked. The leader smiled. "Your a fast learner, Cynder." He said. Jake slowly began to pull out a pad and the leader quickly noticed what he was doing. "What is that?" He asked Jake. "A little calling card." He said. He slid the pad in the centre of the small army and a red light kept on flashing, along with a sound of beeping. Back at the ship, the cryo sleep pod began to beep as well and suddenly launched out of the wrecked ship and toward the small army of apes. The apes ran out of the way and the cryo sleep pod and got ready to attack whatever was in it. There was loud pounding noises coming from the pod and the hatch then launched off of the pod. A grey cheetah-dragon like creature with black and red alien armour, four fingers, red predator like eyes then stepped out of the pod, growling like a beast. Its head looked like the golem's that Spyro and Cynder fought before but its jaw was split. It looked like it had sleeveless armour but instead it had these compressors on his arms. A small crimson red hologram imaging a creature exactly the same as the actual thing appeared next to him. "It seems we missed a lot. Still feeling better from last time, Xar-Reth?" The red hologram asked. "I'm fine." Xar-Reth said. "I thought so. Sick 'em."

"With pleasure." The compressors on Xar-Reth's arms lit red, were pushed into his arms and his arms grew bigger, which means the compressors were used to increase his muscular strength. Xar-Reth grabbed a large alien warhammer and ran up to the horde of apes. He used the warhammer to whack the apes away from him and every time he hit an ape with the hammer, a red pulse of energy appears and it sends the apes flying. Spyro, Jake and the others ran to hide behind an edge as Xar-Reth kept on sending apes into the air. The crimson red AI appeared in front of the group. "Hello, comrades." It said. "Hey, Zeta. You sure he's okay to fight? He was hurt pretty bad last time." Jake said. "As compared to whom, Jake, you don't look so good as well." Alpha appeared next to Jake and Zeta noticed him. "Hello little brother." Zeta said. "Hey big bro. Are you sure you really sure pairing with Xar-Reth was a good idea? He's a little...violent." Alpha said. "I was paired with Xar-Reth for a reason, as well as you and our other siblings." Zeta moved closer to Alpha, bent down and placed his hand on Alpha's shoulder. "Some day, little brother, you learn soon enough. Excuse me, I'll be right back." Zeta then moved back to Xar-Reth in a blur. "Well, that's Zeta for you." Jake said. "Yeah, but I have to admit, that guy kinda gives me the creeps." Sparx said. "Come on, lets go help 'em out." Jake ran up the edge to get back into the fight along with the others. As the Ape Leader began to get up he lifted his head to see Jake aiming his shotgun to his head. Suddenly, another ape tackled him but Jake quickly killed him with one of his energy blades. The ape leader got up and pulled out two swords that nearly look like Gaul's. He then ran up to Cynder but she quickly dodged the ape's attack. Jake then ran toward the ape and drop kicked him in the head. Meanwhile, two Ape Commanders were getting up and turned to see Xar-Reth cracking his knuckles and neck. The two ran up to him but he quickly grabbed the two ape's heads and slowly lifted them from the ground, visualising his strength and then smashed the two apes really hard on their heads. Xar-Reth released the two defeated Ape Commanders and turned to see the fight between the others and the Ape Leader. Jake kicked the back of the ape's head and then to the face with the same foot and then spun and kicked him with the other foot really hard, making him hit the ground. Cynder then did her Scorpion Strike which sent the Ape Leader into the air and Spyro did an aerial Comet Dash to the ape. Xar-Reth then whacked him with the warhammer, which sent him in the air and landed right at the edge of a cliff. A small log was carried next to him and the ape grabbed it, thinking it might be one of his minions. But when he was pulled up, it was Xar-Reth who pulled him up. He then gave a devilish smile, released the log the ape was holding and watched the ape fall into the river below. Spyro and the others looked over the edge to see if they can find the ape in the river but no luck. "So, you mind giving me the long story about what that was all about?" Jake asked the dragons.
