Hello fellow writers! This story is something a little bit different. I'm going to be putting characters from the Spyro universe into a setting where I think they would be interesting. The world of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Yes. It's Spyro vs Superman! For note, this will be a team of Spyro universe characters: Spyro, Cynder, Ignitus, Volteer, Terrador, Cyril, Ember, Flame, Sparx, and Hunter to be exact; teaming up with Batman and the Insurgency against Superman and his One Earth Regime. If you want to see a story where Spyro becomes the leader of his own One Earth Regime back in his world, let me know. That would be an interesting story. Admittedly I'll probably do it anyways. But if people want it, then that's even more reason! But for now, let's get into how this whole thing started. How did Spyro and company get into the DC Universe in the first place? Well, it's a long and complicated story. Let's begin

Spyro's Log

Ignitus recommended that after Malefor was defeated, we all start keeping journals for some reason. Supposedly the reasoning was to "help document our still raging emotions from the war going into everyday life". Admittedly the logic is fair, but this still seems odd. But here goes my first entry. And what an entry to start on.

After Malefor fell, myself, Cynder, the Guardians, and a few of our friends set up a form of police force, we call ourselves the Knights. Unoriginal name I know, but our name doesn't matter, it's what we do that counts. We handle the big terrorist and domestic threats around Avalon, which is the newly rebuilt Warfang.

This was just supposed to be a normal day, we were all just supposed to be having a normal routine workday at our headquarters, the Temple. But then, everything went wrong. At that moment, we were called into action.

Spyro: (Checks a clock in the background) Well guys, it's almost the weekend. Anyone got plans?

Cynder: Thankfully, not this time.

Volteer: You know me, I'll be at the library.

Ignitus: And what of you, Spyro?

Spyro: Archery lessons. Hunter's agreed to teach Cynder and I his craft.

Hunter: I jump at any chance to pass down my art.

Sparx: In any case, I'm just glad this week went by without incident! No terrorists, no domestic calls, nothing!

(Just then a sort of alarm blares)

Spyro: You just couldn't keep your mouth shut could you!

Cyril: What is it this time?

Ember: (Checks the observation deck) It's a bunch of Malefor's cultists. They've heading downtown.

Terrador: Will they ever quit?

Flame: Not likely.

Spyro: So much for weekend archery. Looks like we'll be handling the paperwork again. Let's roll!

Cynder's Log

Yet another weekend ruined by terrorists. After Malefor was defeated, a bunch of people who supported him in the war gathered together to form a terrorist group known today as the Dark Hand. And now these nutcases made their way Heroes Square, a monument to all those who died fighting off Malefor's tyranny. Of course I'm with Spyro, Hunter, and three of the Guardians on the away team.

I really thought they could leave us in peace for one day, I guess not. Now they're trying to blow up Heroes Square or something like that.

Cultist: Today we destroy this blasphemous monument to the false heroes who killed off our Master!

Spyro: Not today!

So we set to work taking out these terrorist scum. Cyril started firing ice shards at rapid speeds, while Spyro set to taking out a terrorist sword-wielding mage. He did pull an interesting vanishing maneuver though, before Spyro managed to Fire Breath his blade away. Meanwhile Cyril has started to shoot rapid fire on the move but the terrorist he's shooting at has put up an Earth trap barrier, stopping him, for only a moment though.

Now while I land a few blows of my own, Volteer, much to my own surprise is beating the tar out of another one, before throwing him over to Terrador for a knockout. And then I catch another glimpse of Spyro taking down the sword-wielding mage. I love him, but I'm not sure he heard me say so in the core when he was, oh, pulling the world back together. But then he throws the cultist into the ground, allowing Hunter and I to swoop in and tie him down.

Spyro: Let's get these scum tied up. We've got to stop whatever their planning.

Cynder: Before they try throwing something else at us.

Hunter: (Spots something behind Spyro) A little late for that.

And that's when he shows up. A massive brawler from the Dark Hand. They call him "Armageddon", because getting hit by him would be your end.

Spyro: I've got this.

So Spyro flies right at Armageddon, but he's knocked out of the way like a fly. That was probably the stupidest thing he's ever done.

Hunter: That should have been a combined assault.

Cynder: Spyro does sometimes forget he can't do everything by himself.

And so the assault continues, but then I get a message from Ignitus back at base, something's wrong.

Ignitus: Cynder! If you read me, please respond!

Cynder: I copy Ignitus, what's going on?

Ignitus: The incident at Heroes Square is a distraction, they've come here! The Dark Hand is storming our base!

Cynder: I'll let the team know, then I'm on my way! (Hangs up) Guys, the Dark Hand is attacking the Temple!

Spyro: Go. We'll keep things handled here!

Cynder: Already on my way!

Ember's Log

Why does this sort of stuff always happen when I'm not on the away team? They always seem to know to attack the Temple when I'm working here. At least Flame's here to help. Last time he was off in Ancestors-Know-Where when somebody tried to rob the place. I mean, I handled it, but it's always nice to have Flame around.

Flame's Log

I can't help but think Ember is sort of a trouble magnet when I'm not around. But she's still a nice girl regardless. I mean, I'm not marrying her for nothing after all. But this is just insane. Some of the Dark Hand's highest ranking officers are here, trying to kill us again.

Cult Leader: Your ruining tonight's festivities you know!

Ember: I detest violence, but you, I'm even less fond of!

Now that's the Ember I proposed to. Hopefully someone answers Ignitus' distress call.

Ignitus: Good news, Cynder is on her way.

Huh. Ask and you shall receive, I guess. And mere moments after that, Cynder bursts through the window and starts fighting off the ringleader of these terrorists.

Assassin: I'll take her down.

Cynder: Oh good, another terrorist pet. I thought you didn't believe in their nonsense.

Assassin: Their money's green. And as a bonus, I get to kill you.

Cynder: No. No you don't.

Now I see what Spyro sees in Cynder, she took down that assassin faster than I could even comprehend.

Cynder: No bonus for you buddy. Now to take care of you.

Cult Leader: Ah good, the real challenge. Too bad the rebellious whelp who erased the Great Cleansing is unavailable.

Cynder: Oh this will be fun.

Spyro's Log

Okay, these terrorists are getting really annoying! Especially this Armageddon guy! He's tough! But good thing I've got my friends alongside me. They're always there to keep me on my feet when I'm getting a little cocky about my abilities. Though that slap from Armageddon really got me in the mood for payback. So I observe, make a plan, and then head in. Terrador knocks Armageddon in the air with his tail, allowing Cyril to smack him over to Volteer, who then hits him with lightning

Volteer: SHAZAM! (Summons lightning to knock Armageddon to the ground) Now that was invigorating

I swear, Volteer has been reading too many comic books. Now he always has to yell "Shazam" before using his element. In all honesty, I guess we all do. But with Armageddon down, I head in for the finishing blow, Comet Dashing him into a wall.

Cynder's Log

I don't know what these guys were thinking, they just keep sending person after person at me, even after I took down their hired blade.

Cult Brawler: In the name of Malefor!

Cynder: No. (Hits him with a deafening Siren Scream) That'll handle him.

Cult Leader: You Knight types are all alike, even less imposing up close.

Cynder: Good thing I'm better at ranged attacks. (Fires a gust of Wind at him, knocking him down while Ember and Flame tie him down)

Ignitus: Now, what are you planning.

Cult Leader: Oh wouldn't you like to now?

That's when the second alarm blares. The one I was dreading, the explosives alarm.

Cynder: That alarm is only sounded when explosives are involved. What's going on?

Cult Leader: I can see the headlines now. Knights fail, Dark Hand trainee kills millions!

Ignitus: That's the stolen explosives from the War Museum!

Sparx: If all of those go off, we're looking at the entire city going up in smoke.

Cynder: Lock these guys up then follow me, we've got to stop them!

Spyro's Log

These terrorists are crazy, crazy devoted admittedly. Oh if only they'd put that into something else. But it doesn't matter now. Armageddon is down, and now I've gotten word from Cynder that their plan is to use the old ammo from the old Warfang cannon to destroy the city. I can't let that happen. Not now, not ever.

Cultist: Now this city's heroes will watch as this monument of sin goes up in cleansing fire!

Spyro: Stop! Think logically man! You set those off and eight million innocents die!

It's then that I see Cynder flying in from the background

Cynder: Keep him talking Spyro.

I love her, but I can never seem to figure out when to tell.

Cultist: I may die, but my soul will be saved for Paradise while you all burn!

Hunter: No you fool! You'll die just like the rest of us! Your soul will be saved by no God!

I get that religion helps some people cope with the world, but I just can't see it in practice. I guess there's a reason Cynder and I are atheists.

Cultist: I was going to watch from a safe distance. But it appears Malefor wants me to die here. So let's say we have one last dance?

Now this is the point in the day where everything just went strange. I've seen everything, but this is something I've never seen. I was rushing to stop the terrorist recruit from dropping a match onto the ammo. Cynder, Ember, Flame, and Ignitus are rushing in from behind me, Hunter, Volteer, Terrador, and Cyril from my front.

But as I'm about to stop this from happening; Ignitus, Volteer, Terrador, Cyril, and Cynder start, well, glowing somehow, and as I grab the match in midair, the strange glows merge right in front of me, and there's an explosion, but the ammo is intact and the match is on the ground.

And when I regain my vision fully, I saw the strangest thing ever. I saw that only Ember, Flame, Hunter, the terrorists and myself were left. The others had just, vanished. Little did I know what was coming next.

Cliffhanger! Now this just covers the first few cutscenes and Chapter 1 of the video game. There will be more to come. In the meantime, what do you guys think? Does this story interest you? Looking forward to seeing Spyro and company beat up Superman? I know I am! Until next time, keep on reading!
