Disclaimer note: I take no ownership in any of the chacters from "The Legend of Spyro" series. Also the move Zangetsu is a name of an instant kill move in the "Final fantasy" series and I also do not claim ownership of it. All other chacters are created by me though.

Chapter 1 - The twilight begins

A mountain is seen surround by mist. There seems to have been some sort of lava that cooled down over the years and became black streaks. Within the mountain there is a yellow, orange like crystal which encases Spyro (a purple dragon around the age of 14), Cynder (a black dragon about the same age as Spyro), and Sparx (a golden dragonfly around the same age as Spyro). Beside the Crystal is a cheetah like figure standing on two legs. "How much longer until they wake up?" the cheetah asked himself. "The dark master has already awakened and conquered most of the world already. It is only a matter of time before his forces come here." As the Cheetah said this he heard a noise outside that sounded like scraping metal. He then looks out a window near the crystal to look down on a long bridge that was created by the cheetah in his spare time so he wouldn't have to climb through the whole mountain again to get out. The bridge seemed to be connected to a mountain far off in the distant mist. As the cheetah looked down he saw arachnid like creatures with metal bodies. "Oh no! There here already!" the cheetah cried.

The arachnid like creatures started approaching the mountain at an incredible speed and began climbing up the mountain towards the window the cheetah and the crystal were on. The cheetah quickly grabbed his bow and arrows near the crystal and began firing at the arachnid like creatures. Each shot was with perfect accuracy and power that it knocked every arachnid it hit right off the mountain. But it was not enough. The arachnids soon got up to the window and one pounced on the cheetah making him fall to the floor. The cheetah quickly punched the arachnid off of him but began to notice that a vast number of arachnids were pouring through the window and began surrounding him. He held up his bow at the ready so as to defend against an incoming attack but he realized it would do him no good since as soon as the first one strikes he would be finished. He began to go into despair because after all the years he spent protecting Spyro's crystal he finally fails. As all hope seemed lost the cheetah heard another noise outside different from the one he heard before. It sounded like footsteps.

On the long bridge through the mist a cloaked man could be seen walking straight toward the mountain. He wore a black cloak, the hood of it was covering his face, and he also seemed to wear a long red scarf. He was quite tall and seemed to be around the age of 17. As the man was walking toward the mountain the arachnids took notice of his presence and a majority of the ones surrounding the cheetah rushed down the mountain to destroy the man. As the arachnids quickly approached the man everything just seemed to slow down and then the man pulled out a sword with a golden glow in a glimpse of light from his chest. The man then rushed towards the arachnids and then slashed through them in quick succession calling out "Zangetsu!" right before all the arachnids he slashed through fell behind him. His hood was now blown off his head and his face could now be seen. He had white, spiky, pulled downward, short hair and very serious blue eyes. "If that's the best he's got I have nothing to worry about" the man said to himself. More arachnids approached him all coming from the window where Spyro's crystal was.

As the first wave of them came towards the man, the man quickly took off his cloak and threw it at the nearest arachnid blocking its vision. He then ran up near it and slashed it in two. After his cloak was off him it could be seen that he wore a white long shirt, black pants, and his left arm was all black and red with a claw like hand as if his left hand held a dark power. Arachnids came from all directions near him and tried to attack him. But the man was much faster than they were and he defeated them all with quick slashes that would seem like a whirlwind to the naked eye. After defeating the group of arachnids the man notice an even larger horde of them being led by a giant, black, demon like wasp coming from the side of the bridge which is hidden by a mist.

The cheetah finally recovered from the attack and went to the window to see what was going on. He then spotted the man and the horde that was approaching him. "Get out of there!" the cheetah screamed down at the man. The man only stood there but instead of readying his blade he sheathed it in another glimpse of light. "Are you crazy!? Get inside the mountain before you die out there" the cheetah screamed at the man. The army of the insect like creatures was getting closer and closer to the man's position. As the man finally saw the fangs of their faces, he put his left arm in front of him and said "Dark explosion!" A dark blast then came from the man's hand and blew up every insect like creature that was approaching him even the giant, black, demon like wasp which let out a screech before falling on the bridge. "Unbelievable" said the cheetah.

The man turned toward the mountain. He then jumped up to the window in a series of jumps on ledges that was close by. The cheetah looked frightened yet astonished by the man's strength. "My name is Hunter" said the cheetah. "I don't care for your name" said the man "and I am not going to tell you mine!" The man's eyes looked at Hunter's eyes with hatred which made Hunter flinch. But then the face of the man began to saddened "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lash out at you for no reason. I have just been uptight lately." "Its okay" said Hunter. "But I still can't tell you my name yet, I don't wish for someone to know that I'm still alive just yet." The man went over to where the dark energy that transformed Spyro into dark Spyro was. He then wiped his finger on the ground picking up a dark residue and then shaking his hand clean. "What are you doing" asked Hunter. "It's something personal. You shouldn't get involved in it." The man then glimpsed at the crystal Spyro was in. As he looked at it he noticed Cynder and Sparx along with Spyro and then something strange occurred within the man. "Err" he said as he put his hand to his forehead. Everything around him seemed either static or deformed to the man and then he saw quick images of a dark, short black haired, brown eyed muscular man with a serious look on his face, a blue eyed, long black haired man with a sword on his shoulder that seemed to smile at the man, a green eyed with short brown hair man who seemed to smile and thumbed up the man, and a blond haired blue eyed woman who has her back turned to him. "Who are you?" he asked her. But before the woman could turn around the man's vision ended.

"Are you okay?" asked Hunter. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just felt a little dizzy there for a second" said the man. The man reached into a pocket on his belt and threw a red medallion at Hunter. "Here, that should awaken them from their slumber" said the man. "Really!? It will!" said Hunter. The man nodded and almost seemed to smile at the same time. "Just touch the crystal while holding the medallion and it should free them" said the man "now I must be going." The man turned around and said "See ya" while waving goodbye before he vanished right before Hunter's eyes. Hunter stood in the spot he was in, dazed and confused, but he finally found a way to wake Spyro and his friends up from their slumber. "Who was that?" Hunter asked himself.
