Dark Cynder- Still Alive. . . and She Wants You Gone
I have written this story in response to both Portal 2, and a review by Syrix5310. Enjoy, fellow Spyro fans!
On top of the pile of rocks that once was the Well of Souls, the Sorcerer plunged his staff into the ground.
"Keff! Spyro is in for it now! I shall now gain my revenge on him and his love, Cynder. Keff! I now call forth the dark powers required to resurrect The Terror of The Skies! Faithful servant of Malefor, come forth! Hahahahahah! Keff!"
A beam of dark energy shot out from his staff and zoomed off into the sky.
Cynder was in for a very strange dream.
She was looking at herself in a mirror. Suddenly, the mirror shuddered violently, and shattered.
Cynder gasped and stepped back as a dark shadowy version of herself stepped towards her. It was the form she had taken when Malefor had tried to control her when she and Spyro had confronted him.
Cynder expected a fight, however, and to her surprise, the dark dragon standing before her did not seem ready to fight. Dark Cynder just stood there, gazing over at her good counterpart for a minute or two. Then, she sang out softly and sweetly, with a gentle peaceful expression on her face:
This was a triumph
I'm being quite serious, a huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
I'm the Terror of the Skies
I did what I could to serve Dark Master
I did what was best for Malefor
So the world could meet it's end
But there's no sense crying over all my mistakes
I'll just keep on trying till for as long as it takes
And my life will get redone
And I'll surely have fun
With the joy that I am still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though your Spyro won and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And fed every piece into warm and light
And as they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Well these points I'm making make a beautiful line
Now I'm out of your prison, it's enjoying life time!
So I'm glad I got burned!
Think of all the things I've learned
For the joy that I am still alive
So please forget me
I think I prefer if my memories died
Maybe I'll find someone else to help me
Maybe Dark Spyro. . .
That was a joke. HA-HA. Fat Chance
Anyway, living sure looks great
It looks so dynamic and new
Look at me still talking when there's living to do
When I'll look back here, it'll make me glad I'm not you
I've different food to eat
As well as feel all of life's treats
With the joy that I am still alive
And believe me I am still alive
I've been released and I am still alive
I have my freedom and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
And while you're dying I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
And with that, there was a huge flash of dark energy, and Dark Cynder turned into her evil adult form. After a triumphant, maniacal laugh, she flew up into the black sky, and broke through the dome of Cynder' subconscious mind with a smash.
Spyro awoke with a start when he the bright flash of dark energy shot through his window. He jumped up and looked out to see what looked like a dark comet blazing through the sky. Spyro quickly flew outside and hovered in the air, staring after the strange apparition. He turned to see Cynder nearby, looking after it.
"Cynder?"
Cynder turned to Spyro.
"What was that?"
Cynder sighed, and she told Spyro the whole story.
"Hahahahahah! Keff! Perfect! Just perfect! Spyro is doomed!" the Sorcerer shouted in triumph as he beheld The Terror of the Skies.
"Will you please let me get a word in edgewise!" the adult dragon said in annoyance.
"Keff! Don't worry! We'll have plenty of time after we destroy Spyro!"
"I am not interested in destroying Spyro!"
"What! Keff!" the Sorcerer said in anger, "But he destroyed your Dark Master! Keff!"
"He is no longer my Master. I have no master. I am the master of my own fate! I have free will! I am free!" she said.
Spyro and Cynder suddenly arrived on the scene.
"Gah! Keff! You two! Prepare to die!" the Sorceror said.
"Excuse me!" the large black dragon said.
"You'll never win, Sorcerer! We're going to destroy you and the darkness you've brought out of Cynder so that it won't have to plague her anymore!" Spyro said confidently.
"Ahem!" the adult said.
"Keff! Ha! You're no match for our combined power!"
"You're wrong! This is the day I finally put an end to the darkness of my a accursed past!" Cynder said.
"SILENCE! Let me speak!" the dark dragon screamed.
"Grr! Fine! Keff! Say what you need to say so I can convince you to kill these two."
Dark Cynder smiled and said, "Here is what I want-."
"This will be interesting," Spyro remarked, "Go on! what is it you want!"
The Dark Adult Cynder sighed, turned to Spyro and Cynder, and began to sing in a very bitter, let melodious tone:
Well here we are again
It's always such a pleasure.
Remember when I tried to kill you twice, Spyro
Oh we laughed and laughed
Of course we were-n't laughing
Given the circumstances I'm being shockingly nice
You want freedom from me, Cynder?
That's what I'm counting on
I used to want you dead,
Spyro
Now, I only want you gone
She was a lot like you two
Maybe not quite as heavy
Yes, little Dark Cynder is right here too!
The adult dragon formed a ball of dark energy in her hands and dropped it. It suddenly twisted and formed itself into the body of the smaller, younger Dark Cynder. Then, both dragon began singing, their voices harmonizing perfectly.
The Sorceror woke us up
So we could live forever
It's just as shame the same will never happen to you
You got your short, sad lives now
That's what we're counting on
I'll let you get right to it
Now
We only want you gone
Goodbye my only friend. . .
The adult Dark Cynder turned to the Sorcerer and sang.
Oh, did you think I meant one of them
That would be funny if it weren't so sad
She then grabbed the Sorcerer, who began yelling and screeching in horror
Well, you have been replaced!
I just need Dark Cynder now
When I destroy you maybe I'll stop feeling so evil
Dark Cynder charged the Sorcerer with dark energy until he suddenly exploded into black mist. Both young and adult Dark Cynders turned to Spyro and Cynder and sang.
Go stop some new disaster
That's what we're counting on
Now you're someone else's problem
Now we only want you gone
Now we only want you gone
Now we only want you gone
And with that, both Dark dragon disappeared with a flash.
Cynder turned to Spyro and said, "I don't think they're evil anymore, I think they just want to start a new life."
Spyro smiled and nodded, "Yes, I think you're right. Well, let's go home."
In a cave tucked away in a secret mountain peak, adult and young Dark Cynder lay in peace.
"We'll need new names," the adult said, "Your name could be 'Dusk'. My name could be 'Eclipse'. Would you like that?"
"Yes. Yes I would."
"So, I suppose I could be your mother, that is, if you'd like that," the adult said.
"I'd like that," the younger dark dragon said with a smile.
Then came the rarest sight ever. The adult dark dragon, who was now named Eclipse, actually smiled. Not an evil smile, but a smile of pure joy for a new, better life with her new "Daughter", Dusk.
The End
Surprise! both Portal songs in one chapter! "Still Alive" and "I Want you Gone!" from Portal 2. In your reviews, tell me which Portal Song you like better! I might make more "I Want you Gone" song fics in the future! Also, thank you Syrix5310 for the idea. When I heard the two songs together, my mind just screamed, "Oh man! These two songs would be perfect for Dark Cynder if she could achieve her own personality!" And the Sorcerer was that way! Well, I hope you enjoyed the song fic! I really need more reviews for this collection, so please review!
