Hello everybody and welcome to my second fanfiction. Problem is that my first fanfiction didn't go too well so. I am currently thinking about retyping it so that is why it is not listed under being completed. So for all those that thought I did not do a good enough job in it here's the second installment to The Legend of SPyro the Dark Dragon trilogy. Rise of the Dark Dragon.
Chapter 1 A New Day
For years the Dragons of Dragon Haven had lived in fear from the threat of Dragon Killer. But now with him gone and Spyro the Dragon here there was no reason to hold back any longer. For years the Good One's army had been tracking the Brotherhood's brutal war machine. But unknown to them another was hiding in the mist of war. A larger more threatening force for nearly four years the two major factions of the Brotherhood and the Good army have been at war. But the history of the conflict actually begins with the rise and fall of Vestorov Malefor's father.
Spyro wakes up from his slumber. It has been a day since he had defeated Dragon Killer and he was given a place to call his own along with Cynder who had helped Ember in her time of need when no one else would. Spyro gets to his feet and looks out the window to see something that he had not expected. He sees the entire of the Good One marching down the street instead of the Dragon citizens living their daily lives. Spyro flies down and sees something else that caught his eye.
Again he sees the mysterious Dragon that he had been seeing repeatedly in his dreams. The Dragon lets out one of his demonic laughs and everything else disappears. Spyro braces himself to be hit by the Dragon but instead it vanishes. Spyro rises back up and looks around questioningly. Then he turns around as he feels someone breathing down his neck. He turns around and finds himself face to face with his Dark self.
"You are evil inside. On the inside you and Malefor are the same you just deny it and I should know." Spyro's Dark self tells him.
"No!" Spyro yells thrusting his arm through the illusion. "I'm not playing your games! Come out and face me you coward!" Spyro yells out to the sky.
"As you wish." The voice says slowly mutating into Cynder's voice.
"Why did you do it? Why did you fight my brother?" Cynder's voice asks.
"Brother but Cynder has no brother?" Spyro asks the voice.
"Not as far as you know Spyro. A matter of fact I'm not even certain if you even care." The Dragon's voice says to Spyro.
"I used her, she used you." Spyro could hear Malefor's echoing voice say out loud.
"This makes no since!" Spyro yells.
"It would child if you knew who I am and why I'm haunting and hunting you."
Then once more Spyro hears a voice calling him and he slowly awakes from his sleep. Spyro awakes to see Sparx right in his face looking directly in his eye. Sparx backs off as Spyro rubs his eyes to wake himself up.
"Sorry about that. I thought you might have died or something like that. Anyway welcome to the realm of the living buddy." Sparx tells Spyro.
"Sparx do you mind I need to check him. There was something going on that I need to tell him." Guardian says to Sparx walking over to Spyro.
"Sorry. He's my friend." Sparx says backing off.
"I know." Guardian says moving to Spyro's wound.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" Spyro asks Guardian.
"When you were engaging Dragon Killer did you use your abilities?" Guardian asks Spyro examining the wound.
"No. But I couldn't. I couldn't breathe anything. I just couldn't." Spyro tells Guardian.
"Just as I feared the poison has neutralized your abilities such as breathing fire and things like that." Guardian tells Spyro.
"What? How long can't I use my abilities?" Spyro asks Guardian.
"Can't tell no one has ever come back from Dragon Killer's attacks but you'll have to wait until the poison runs through your system." Guardian tells Spyro.
Then there is a sound coming from downstairs. Spyro jumps to his feet and Guardian gets up too.
"What was that?" Spyro asks Guardian.
"I have no idea." Guardian tells Spyro.
Spyro runs down the stairs expecting a large enemy to be at the door. But instead he finds Cynder looking at Valavadorog who was on the floor unconscious. Spyro walks over to Valavadorog and checks his pulse and finds him to still be alive and breathing.
"What happened?" Spyro asks Cynder.
"I don't know. He just came in the door walking like some kind of deer on ice hit the wall and fell over on the ground unconscious." Cynder tells Spyro.
"Dragon Juice Valavadorog can't stay away from that stuff." Guardian tells Spyro coming down the stairs.
"What does it do?" Cynder asks.
"Well it doesn't do much but to Dragons it kind of makes us unfocused and makes stumble over our own feet. Just take him home and he should be fine in the morning." Guardian tells Spyro.
"Boy he's heavy. Hay Cynder come over here and help me." Spyro tells Cynder trying to lift up Valavadorog.
Cynder comes over and helps get Valavadorog off of the ground but she was able to do it easier than Spyro. She notices this and sees Spyro having trouble.
"Spyro are you alright?" Cynder asks Spyro.
"Yah I'll be fine. Just give me a moment to get my strength back." Spyro tells Cynder.
The two struggle to get Valavadorog out of the door. As they turn the corner Guardian comes out and sees them walking down the street carrying Valavadorog. Guardian then flaps his wings and flies up in the air he had a friend of his to meet.
Three miles from Dragon Haven sat an alone building. Guardian sores down from the sky. He lands on the ground in front of the door of the building. He enters the house and all across the walls there were shelves that were full of potions and ingredients. In the center of the building there was a large pot that had some kind of substance inside of it. Guardian goes over and looks at the substance then he hears someone coming over to him.
"Don't touch that. It's very unstable." A Green Dragoness wearing a cloak with the hood comes over and says to Guardian.
"Oh sorry Fluma I was just curious." Guardian says to Fluma backing away from the pot.
Fluma comes over and looks at the substance and sticks one of her claws in it and licks it off of her claw.
"Needs more Goblin salt." Fluma says going over to the shelfs and looking for the ingredient jar with the name on it.
She finds the container and runs back to the pot and puts the ingredient into the mixture.
"Fluma are you alright? No one has seen you for days." Guardian asks Fluma.
"Yes Gregory I'm fine just working on something." Fluma tells Guardian.
"Now Fluma I told you to call me Guardian." Guardian tells Fluma.
"Now Guardian you know that I don't like using nicknames." Fluma tells Guardian continuing to work.
"What are you doing out here anywhere?" Guardian asks Fluma.
"I'm working on something that will change the world. Now go away. I need privacy to work." Fluma tells Guardian.
"Wait but you're able to work when Maria is around?" Guardian asks Fluma.
"But at least the last time she was here she didn't set off the fireworks display upstairs." Flums says to Guardian.
"Oh yah good thing you were able to stop the fires. Well I'll get going then." Guardian says walking outside.
He stops at the door and looks back at Fluma who was working on her potion. She didn't even look back at him as he was leaving. He flies away after he closes the door heading back for Dragon Haven.
Miles away in the Dark Ones castle The Dark One stands over a map looking down at a strategic map of the Dream Realm. Two of his elite guards stood guard at the entrance to his personal chamber. Then there is a flash that comes from the Dark One's chair that was behind him. The Dark One turns his head to see the Mysterious Dagon looking at him with a grin on his mouth.
"Well seems like you have the situation under control here Dietrich. Oh wait you don't. If you did then I wouldn't be here." The Dragon says to The Dark One with his demonic voice.
"What? How did you get in here?" The Dark One asks the Dragon.
"Oh I have my ways. No one can stop the shadow of death. I kind of like that nickname. Not even you." The Dragon tells the Dark One getting closer.
"Guards! Guards get in here!" The Dark One calls to his guards.
"Oh your men are a bit tied up at the moment Dietrich." The Dragon sees as the two guards burst through the door and collapse to the ground.
Then through the passageway comes the Dragon Killer who was missing one eye from his fight with Spyro. Dragon Killer looks at the Dark One and grins.
"Wait you're dead. You can't be here." The Dark One says as he sees Dragon Killer.
"Not exactly he was dead but I have brought him back. It's the ability I was rejected for. I can convert the dead. OH wait you should remember Dietrich." The Dragon tells the Dark One.
"Yes I remember." The Dark One says rubbing an amulet that hung around his neck.
"She is alive thanks to me and so are you. So that mean you owe me a favor Dietrich." The Dragon tells the Dark One.
"What do you want me to do?" The Dark One asks the Dragon.
"Simple Dietrich I want you to kill the boy. It should be a simple task for a person of your rank and stature." The Dragon tells the Dark One.
"But he is just a boy. No one deserves to die that like and what the girl with him. She will be alone without. Him I will not do this it's not right." The Dark One says to the Dragon.
"Oh you don't understand. Sometimes the worst of things happens form the best intentions. But sometimes it's for the best. The boy is a barricade in our way. If you cannot do this then I will just find another to fill your place." The Dragon tells the Dark One.
"Alright I'll do it. Just don't harm Devera please." The Dark One says to the Dragon.
"I will not harm her as long as you do what I say. Dragon Killer will remain here to keep an eye on you. If he tells me anything that I do not approve of you will be sorry." The Dragon tells the Dark
One heading to the door.
The Dragon disappears as he approaches the door. Dragon Killer flips up his hood and blends in with the Dark Ones troops who were coming in the door. The two troops look down and see the guards gaining consciousness and one of the two troops goes over to help them up. The other trooper goes over and speaks with the Dark One.
"Sir is everything alright?" The Trooper asks the Dark One.
"Yes everything is fine Trooper. It was just a meeting that's all." The Dark One tells the trooper.
"If you say so sir we'll take the guards down to the medical wing." The trooper tells the Dark One.
"Good my friend. But now I need to make an announcement." The Dark One tells the trooper.
Back in Dragon Haven Spyro and Cynder leave Valavadorog's home. The two walk down the street and see the Good One's troopers mobilizing. Cynder looks at Spyro as if he knew what was going on.
"What's going on?" Cynder asks Spyro.
"How am I supposed to know?" Spyro asks Cynder.
"Oh sorry I assumed that you had done something." Cynder tells Spyro.
"That's alright. Let's go see if the Good One know what's going on." Spyro tells Cynder.
"You lead." Cynder tells Spyro.
Spyro and Cynder then fly off heading for the Good One's palace. But as they approach the palace they see the Good One running out of the palace speeding down the road. Spyro and Cynder then fly after the Good One trying to catch up with him. The Good One slows down as he sees Spyro and Cynder coming to him.
"What's happening?" Spyro asks the Good One as he comes to the ground.
"Spyro the infected are approaching." The Good One tells Spyro.
"What's the deal? Spyro and I can cut through a crowd of those things?" Cynder asks the Good One landing next to Spyro.
"No you don't understand they are being led by the Dark One's forces. They're out to kill us." The Good One tells Spyro and Cynder.
"What do we need to do?" Spyro asks.
"My son he was last seen heading to his friend Fluma's house. Please find him and bring him home." The Good One tells Spyro and Cynder.
"Got that come on Cynder." Spyro tells Cynder and flies off with Cynder following him.
They soar over Dragon Haven and see a line of bright lights heading for the city. There must a large army heading this way because there was a large group of creatures around the lights. The lights seem to disband as they get closer to Dragon Haven. Spyro stops for a couple of seconds to look at the city as it gets surrounded by the large menacing army.
"Spyro come on we need to stay focused. We need to get Guardian." Cynder tells Spyro.
Spyro turns form the sight and continues to follow Cynder who was now leading the way. In the distance they could see a large smoke cloud that was reaching high in the air.
Now if you are wondering why I did not go any further is because the next chapter is going to be kind of frightening. I am currently working with another writer on a project of theirs and I am taking a lot of my time thinking of how far I am going to go in this installment. But I am going to explain the backstory of many of my OCs in the next chapter as well. The mysterious Dragon however I will not explain much about except that he is much older then Malefor and Ignitus. Who really is in control the Dark One or the Mysterious Dragon.
