Hi guys, here is my new story, I am really pleased with it so far, as I have wrote like 4 chapters of it already. So I hope you enjoy. Ill shut up now, hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1: What? You Again?!
The frosty air scraped across the blue tinted snow, and lifted it into the air, like dust. The snow looked like a blanket of powder, shimmering and glistening across the home world, Winter Tundra. The sliver moon crept its way high over the huge mountains of Avalar and shown bright on the freshly made snow. The cold air silently swept its way through the mountain range, and though the gigantic castle that lay between the rocks. The blue and purple ice, which was embedded onto the rocks, and blanketed the river, glowed like the rest of the wonderland before it. It seemed liked the rocks where make of ice. As the sky was a black ocean, hovering behind a sliver moon and tiny pieces of glitter in the night sky. It was so peaceful, so calm, and so magical. It seemed like the night would last forever in the peaceful atmosphere and air of the cold night.
A faun was silently walking though the magical land, she wore a green vest and had her brown hair loosely tied up. Her blue eyes matched the colour of the snow on the cold ground, but her hair and fur had no place in the blue mist of Winter Tundra. She walked on two legs and gracefully walked though the archway leading to the castle that stood high in the mountain range. As she passed though the arch way, a huge portal titled 'dragon realms' was straight in front of her, along with a court yard covered in snow. As well as huge steps leading to the entrance of the castle. She had been to the dragon realms many times before. After all it was were her friends lived. She slowly walked around the portal to find a light orange cheetah and a dark orange mole, which also stood on two legs, arguing over something as pure usual. She cleared her throat before joining in their debate.
"PROFESSOR! HUNTER! WHAT on earth are you TWO fighting about NOW?!" the faun raised her voice in an irritating tone. As she was the elected leader of Avalar she had to be informed with most affairs, especially when it involved her main advisers.
Both of the creatures turned around with frustrated looks on their faces. The mole, who was a lot smaller than both the faun and the cheetah, was wearing a white lab coat and glasses, he reached for his pencil which was placed on his left ear, whist he got his notepad from his pocket. He looked frustrated and tired, which was expected considering his old age, but the faun had only seen him this angry when their home was taken over. The mole sharply pointed to the cheetah next to him before complaining again. "Hunter wants to type in the coordinates again. This time, he says, he's is not going to mess it up." As he was mimicking him.
"Hey! You can't blame me for the day I was born. Blame my parents." Hunter said with a goofy but offended face. He was taller than the faun but only slightly, and had an arrow holder on his back. His dark green eyes were with rage a the professor, Elora and everyone else that lived in Avalar blamed him for one mistake. "I'm right Elora. Aren't I?" he turned back to the faun who was shaking her head with discussed.
"When will you two ever get over that? Spyro sorted that out and we all know what happens if Ripto steps foot in Avalar again" Hunter looked blankly at the Professor who was nodding his head, and the faun who had a sense of pride on her face.
Hunter scratched his head trying to remember what it was. "What happens again?" he finally had the courage to say. Both of them gave him a deadly stare. He was the one who brought him to Avalar and he had already forgotten what happens to the person who had enslaved them all.
"HE GETS ARRESTED HUNTER!" they screamed at him in unison. He had never been bright person, but they thought he would have at least remembered that.
The professor at this point was holding his pencil so hard that it snapped, as well as his patience. "SEE Elora. He's not fit to be on the council with a memory like a dead hard drive! He always messes things up, like in the dragon realms; he managed to get his head stuck in a hole." The little mole shouted. But this drove Hunters patience even more. He hated it when the Professor referred everything to science, which he found hard to understand.
"Stop undermining me with everything I say!" Hunter shouted back.
"Well I won't, if you had a brain."
"Maybe your brain is too big to fit in your head, that why it is bigger than the rest of your body, which isn't normal for a mole"
"Well, I didn't realise that cheetahs could stand up straight..."
Elora at this point was ready to rip her hair out, she was fed up with all the arguments that had been going on in Avalar, and she was supposed to be leading the place, not allowing the people to take chunks at each other whenever they feel fit. It was wrong and stupid and she just needed a break for five minutes. "SHUT UP THE PAIR OF YOU! It's bad enough I have got Zephyr and Breeze Harbour trying to start a war again. So I don't need the pair of you shouting and criticizing everything about another." She then took in a deep breath to fully compose herself. All the stress wasn't good for her so she calmly breathed in and out. All that the mole and the cheetah could hear was the chilly wind whistling, as the faun calmed down. She was a kind and caring soul, but they both knew not to get on her bad side especially if she was stressed. "Ok look it's been a long day and me standing out in the freezing cold isn't helping at all. I'm sorry."
Hunter and the Professor felt guilty. None of this was anyone's fault. And Elora had seemed to get more stressed as the years went on. They knew that they had to kinder to each other, and they would gladly do it now if it meant getting out of the cold bitter air. "Oh ok. Sorry Elora, for arguing. Professor sorry for being an idiot all the time." Hunter said wells bowing his head in shame.
The Professor hated to admit when he was wrong, but his friends had always been more important than pride. "I'm sorry hunter for blaming you; it wasn't entirely your fault."
Elora smiled at the two and gave them a congratulating nod. Hunter then put back on his good goofy smile and merrily sang. "Well water under the bridge. I'm going to see Bianca. So I guess I'll see you two soon." Hunter was just about to walk though the portal to the Dragon Realms, when he was sent flying back towards the stairs to the castle. Something or someone had flown through the portal and pushed Hunter back towards the steps. Elora and the Professor crowed over Hunter to see if he was alright. As soon as he reassured them he was alright. Elora turned around and tapped the Professor shoulder. He did the same, and they both ignoring the cheetah that was still on the floor. When he stood up he had the same expressions as his friends, the look of horror.
Right in the middle of the now formed circle, which contained the Super Portal, The Professor, Hunter and Elora, stood Ripto. The dinosaur like creature, about the size, if not a few centimetres taller than the Professor, just stood in the middle. His dark purple cape matched the stone of the castle, and he held a golden sceptre, with a red ruby gleaming on the top of it. His eyes were forest green yet they seem to rage with fire. He stared at the residents of Avalar, and huffed.
"What!" he said in an angry tone, which was his normal tone of voice. They just stared at him with shock. He was told that if he ever, ever took one step in Avalar, he would be on trail in a heartbeat. Yet there he was standing and smirking at them.
Elora step forward and harshly said. "Get Out! You know you're not welcome here." she gave him the longest and most direct stare she had ever given before. She hated him, everything about him.
"Well it's is lovely to see you all too. But at the moment being thrown in jail is the least of my worries." He turned and faced the golden portal. None of them had any idea what he was doing, or why he was even here. It didn't seem like it was an accident, nor did he freak out when he landed in Avalar. The orange toad like creature just stared evil at the portal, like he was waiting. But for what none of them knew.
"Ripto Go! Before we call Spyro!" Hunter threaten, knowing that Ripto wouldn't dream of coming here if he knew the purple dragon was involved.
"Sorry flea-bag, but that is just what I'm waiting for." Ripto said, not even turning around to face is enemies. Yet they could all tell that he had a smile on his face.
The Professor had a worried look on his face and said in the calmest voice he could muster. "What do you mean?"
"Ripto what are you doing?" the Faun quickly questioned.
Then Ripto started to laugh. It was an evil chuckle of a laugh. He turned around with pure evil in his eyes. "Why do you think I came here though the portal which is labelled 'Dragon Realms'? He's coming alright, but the question is will he be alive as soon as his feet lands on the ground." He enjoyed putting fear into the people of Avalar. In fact he enjoyed scaring the bleeding hearts out of anyone and everyone who annoyed him. Avalar now being one of his hated enemies, if Spyro wasn't put into the equation. But never the less it was the one part of the world he wanted blown out of existence if he had his way.
All of a sudden, a purple Dragon came flying through the portal. The Dragon flew straight over Ripto's head as he ducked to avoid being hit, which made the purple Dragon to fly straight towards Hunter. In which made the cheetah fall on his back, again, and he was quite surprised he hadn't broken it yet. The Dragon quickly got up and apologized to his friend and turned to face the dinosaur, he had followed though the portal. "Ripto" the dragon said in a stern voice.
"Spyro" Ripto returned back in the same voice as his enemy. Ripto clutched his sceptre, every time he saw the purple demon, he felt all the hatred that he had ever felt roll into one. Just his annoying voice or even the mention of his name would make his blood boil.
"You're not supposed to be here!" Spyro also stared at him with the same hatred as Ripto felt for him.
Ripto laughed "Neither are you! Do you really think they needed the Dragon, in their home world, where only death and destruction lie in his wake?!"
"No, but I wasn't the one who caused that."
Ripto pointed his sceptre at Spyro before saying in a irritated tone "Oh do SHUT up!" with in less than a second, a bolt of red light beamed out of the sceptre and hit Spyro, knocking him over. His body started to twitch, as he lay helpless on the ground. His body was stiff and he couldn't move a single muscle in his body.
"SPYRO!" Hunter ran up to him only to also be blasted with a ball of red light, which also stopped him from moving. The Professor and Elora froze. They knew that if any one of them were to move they would also be blasted by the light, their only hope was to stand still and not say a word unless necessary. But that didn't seem to matter as yet another all of light hit the Mole and made him fall to the ground.
"That was un called for!" Elora shouted, in pure shock with what Ripto had just done.
Ripto lowered his sceptre and sigh. "Keep your fur on goat, they're not dead. Their just having a little sleep wells I sort something out."
"Like what?"Elora asked in a darkened tone.
"Does it really concern you?" he challenged her.
"YES it does!" with that Elora managed to grab his sceptre and run out of the court yard with it. She had no idea what she was doing, all she knew she had to by some time, for Spyro to wake up. It was freezing and the cold had turned the once fluffy snow, into hard crystal. This meant one slip and you were a goner. She didn't know where to go until she looked at the steps leading to Canyon Speedway. Without even thinking she ran for it. All the way down the steps and into the cave, where the water had now frozen over. The cave had turned into a bluely grey colour, as the snow had stuck to the roof and froze. In fact the whole cave was frozen; it appeared from the recent snow storm, because of the storm it had made the top of the water fall block with snow, making it impossible to get out. So there was no way out. She dare not enter Canyon Speed either, not since she almost fell into the lava. She took a deep breath and just faced the crystal water holding on to the sceptre that she had stolen.
"I'm afraid that doesn't belong to you." A voice came from behind her. Elora slowly turned around and pointed the sceptre at Ripto. She was anger and scared, she didn't know what she was doing, and all she could do was threaten him to "move back." Ripto slowly put his hands up. "Do you really want to be doing that?" he said as he moved forward.
"I mean it! Stay back!" she shouted.
Ripto continued to move forward as he was taking to her. "No you don't. You don't have it in you." He smirked as she lowered her face. But still continued to hold the sceptre up at him. She wasn't afraid of him, she never really was. She just wanted him out of her home world, and to keep the citizens safe. He continued to speak. "Anyway that thing only works if I am the one using so sorry." He mocked her.
She gritted her teeth. "You're lying"
"No I'm not. Well if you don't believe me fire." He said whiles just standing less than five meters in front of her. "DO IT!" he screamed at her, making her shiver ever so slightly.
She knew it was wrong to swoop down to his level, but she hated being mocked and challenged. So she kept her position, and with all her emotions telling her to stop, she did it anyway. She tried to comrade the sceptre to fire, but it wouldn't work. She tried again still nothing. She looked down, taking her eyes off of Ripto, and trying her hardest to get it to fire, but she got the same result. When she looked up, Ripto was stood right in front of her. This made her jump forcing her to move back. "See I told you it only works for me" he then snatched it back off of her. Now she was scared. He looked her dead in the eye, and said nothing. The silence was enough to torture someone, let alone kill.
"Now that we have destabilised that, maybe you should start looking for another job." He laughed. He loved terrorizing people, especially if it was Crush. He just needed her out of the way, in the same way as he had dealt with the others, but before he could fire. The cave started to shake, and the ice from the top of the cave started to crack, and fall off the roof. Both Elora and Ripto crouched down, and covered their heads in case any shards of ice were to fall on them. Then without warning the snow that was blocking the exit, in the upper part of the cave broke and started to flood the cave. It covered everything including the all of the exit, trapping both the Dinosaur and Faun in the cave. With no way in or no way out.
