Chapter 1 Awakening

A year has passed since the defeat of Malefor at the hands of the young Heroes Spyro and Cynder. The Dragon world has come to a new age of peace. Or so it seems for there was another Dark Master that was forgotten in history.

Deep within the core of the Dragon world there is a hollow zone where the core rest. The core was where Spyro and Cynder had defeated the Dark Master Malefor a year ago. But there was now a disturbing silence that can be heard as a ark of energy saps from the top of the core.

Then all at once there was a huge jolt of energy as a gateway opens up and two little Dragons fall out onto the cores top. The two Dragons hit the core and let out a grunt from both of them. The Purple Dragon shakes his head trying to get his thoughts straight while the Black Dragon gets to her feet and walks on over to her companion.

"Spyro are you OK?" Cynder asks Spyro.

"Yah I think so." Spyro says to Cynder getting back up to his feet.

"What did you do?" Cynder asks Spyro as he looks around the open area inside the planet.

"I don't know. But whatever the heck that was drained all of my energy." Spyro says to Cynder.

But as he takes a step he collapses to the ground. Cynder helps Spyro back to his feet and sees that he was obviously completely drained of energy.

"Well whatever that was let's never do that again." Cynder tells Spyro backing a few inches away from him as he gets back to his feet.

"Agreed. Do you have any idea what happened?" Spyro asks Cynder.

"I don't know all I remember was a large burst of energy then poof everything went blank." Cynder tells Spyro.

Spyro looks right below and jumps backward as he sees Malefor frozen inside of the core. Cynder chuckles and after a few seconds Spyro does too.

"Well at least we don't need to worry about him any longer." Cynder tells Spyro.

"Yah right. Wait?" Spyro says remembering what Cynder told him right before he released the power bolt that somehow saved them.

"What?" Cynder asks Spyro.

"Before we ended up in that portal you said that you loved me." Spyro says to Cynder looking curiously at her.

"Well Spyro I kind of do. After all you are the one that freed me from Malefor's control. Besides if I didn't then why would have stayed with you?" Cynder says to Spyro walking over to him smiling after she said it.

"Okay." Spyro says to himself looking away from Cynder with a strange look in his eye.

Cynder looks up towards the surface and looks for anyway out. Then she comes across a strange site. She calls Spyro and he comes over and looks down the other side of the core and sees a long trail of Dark Crystals that seemed to lead towards the outer surface.

"What do you suppose made that?" Cynder asks Spyro.

"Don't know. But whatever it was that made this cannot be good. It will be for the best if we find a way out of here quick." Spyro says to Cynder.

But then suddenly both Spyro and Cynder hear a Demonic voice speak to them in their thoughts.

"You are all mine now you little Buggers." The voice says then laughs.

Spyro and Cynder both look at each other and say "That's not good." Then there is a large Dark Beam of light that zaps both Spyro and Cynder. As the beam dissipates Spyro and Cynder are gone teleported by the beam to somewhere else they don't know where.

Spyro and Cynder spiral out of control through some sort of vortex. Spyro looks around trying to see if there was something he could do. But he looks at the edge of the vortex and sees some type of creature on the other side of the vortex. Spyro then blinks and the creature was gone. Spyro then starts to gain control and tries to stabilize himself. He looks over and sees Cynder doing the same. The Dragons could now fly around the inside of the vortex but they did not like the feeling that they had about it.

"Cynder I don't like this thing. Whatever it is its transporting us somewhere I don't think we want to go." Spyro says to Cynder.

"Well you got any ideas? I don't exactly see anything in here that we can use as an anchor." Cynder informs Spyro.

"There's nothing here but us. We have to ram each other. The recoil will probably send us right out of this thing." Spyro tells Cynder.

Cynder knobs her head and flaps her wings twice then speeds like a bullet to Spyro and Spyro does the same. The two collide and they both recoil from another sending them flying out of the vortex just in time. Spyro who was unconscious slowly wakes back up and finds himself in the middle of a large dense forest. He looks behind a bush and sees Cynder getting back up to her feet. But then there was something that screamed in the air. Spyro looks up and sees the vortex disappearing and the mysterious figure disappearing with it.

What ever it was seemed to want them. But why?

Spyro walks over to Cynder who was busy plucking little pinecones from her wings. He then hears something off in the distance that sounded like something he had heard before. It sounded like the strange cowardly voices of the Baboons he fought years ago.

On a trail not too far from where Spyro and Cynder had crashed there was a small group of Baboons. There were two small Baboons and one medium sized one. They did not look like the ones Spyro had faced years back. This time they were wearing some kind of clothe on their shoulder that had a strange new symbol on it they looked like a Y that was morphed out of shape.

"Alright you two get searching we need to find out what ever that was that crashed here or we'll be in trouble." The medium sized Baboon said to his smaller counterparts.

"But boss even if it was those Dragons that the boss was talking about how can we be so certain that they will come with us?" One of the small Baboons says to the medium sized Baboon.

"Yah last time I messed with a Dragon I got horn in my butt and I am still sore from pulling that long thing out." One of the little Baboons says to the medium sized one.

"Well George you really should have been careful when I said that the Dragon was not secure when you decided to hit it with that hammer of you." A small Baboon says to the other.

"Shut up. If you could have held the rope a lot tighter then it wouldn't have gotten loose anyway." George says back.

"Ah! Can you two stop arguing for a few seconds?" The medium sized Baboon says to the two smaller Baboons.

The two small Baboons go silent and follow the medium sized Baboon further down the path. They are entirely unaware that Spyro and Cynder came out of the bushes behind them.

"Dragons captured? What' going on?"Spyro asked Cynder.

"How do you think I know?" Cynder asks Spyro and spits out a pinecone "All because I was an evil Dragon doesn't mean that I know everything that is going on around here." Cynder tells Spyro as she continues to pull pinecones from her wings.

Spyro then looks over and sees something that was somewhat strange to him. It was a destroyed Dragon Statue that was just abandoned on the side of the road like a piece of trash. Spyro goes over to investigate the statue when he sees a gruesome site that haunts him. Over the hill he sees the entire Dragon city of Warfang appeared to have been ransacked and the many buildings that once were homes to Dragons were burning and there was what appeared to be Dark crystals that were scattered all over the remaining city. Cynder comes over and sees the site. She looks over at Spyro who had a little tear forming at the end of his eye.

"So it was all for nothing. Everything that we fought for was just for our own gain. We lost." Spyro said to himself closing his eyes and looking down under his feet.

"Spyro it wasn't for nothing. You have me and from what those Baboons were saying there are some other survivors. We still have a chance to make things better." Cynder tells Spyro.

Spyro thanks Cynder and looks to the west and sees that the sun was setting.

"It will be for the best if we set up a campsite before dark." Spyro tells Cynder.

"After you." Cynder says to Spyro.

Spyro and Cynder then walk into the forest and set up a place to sleep for the night. For them the world they knew was changing and they were in an unfamiliar land. They will need the sleep for in the morning they will get to business and find out what is going on. But something was about to change that idea.
