Hello everyone! Welcome to my first fanfiction The Dark General! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

Edit: Sorry to everyone who has read so far. I forgot to specify that this story takes place at the end of The Eternal Night. My apologies!

"Had I known that all it would take would be your miserable amity for Cynder.." Gaul said.

"Psst, what's amity?" Sparx inquired.

"How tragic really" Gaul started, "that she should be the one to destroy you." While Cynder tackled Spyro to the ground.

"You don't need to do this Cynder!" Spyro exclaimed as Cynder began circling him.

"Just like old times, huh Spyro?" Cynder snarled. Cynder then reduced her voice to a whisper "Same as last time. Line me up with Gaul's staff."

Cynder leapt at Gaul trying to knock his staff away, but Gaul saw it coming and caught her in his free hand. "This isn't over!" Gaul yelled as he hurled Cynder across the cavern and Spyro Gasped.

One of Gaul's lackeys advanced towards Spyro before Gaul stopped him. "Don't touch him! The whelpling is mine!" Gaul jumped off of the stage he and his cronies were on and drew both his swords, roaring.

Spyro got into his battle stance as Gaul began his attack. They were evenly matched down to the scratch. Every time it looked like Spyro was gaining the upper hand, Gaul would knock him back. The two foes were starting to grow tired. "Your time is over… dragon!"

Gaul jumped and slammed both swords into the ground where Spyro had been just mere moments ago causing the ground beneath them to give way.

"AHHHH" Gaul sounded as he fell into the cave beneath. His staff hit the ground and shattered. Just then the peak of the eclipse happened. The purple beam of convexity in the center of the cavern multiplied in strength causing a strong wind to whip around the cave. Gaul got up looking for his purple foe. Unbeknownst to him, the dragon he was looking for got caught in the convexity and was being corrupted by the strange purple light. Spyro jumped out of the beam, scales as black as the night sky and eyes white as snow. Spyro's dark form completely out matched Gaul.

"What are you waiting for, dragon? Finish me!" Gaul gasped.

After a few seconds, Gaul started laughing. "Hahahahaha… Coward!" Gaul continued his fit as he got up. "HAHAHAHA" Gaul again got on the offensive, but Spyro shot a purple beam of light at him.

Convexity

Gaul tried to stand his ground, but found he couldn't. Dark Spyro paused his attack, closed his eyes and began to float up into the air. Dark Spyro's eyes shot open, and waves of convexity shot out of his body. Gaul only made it to the second wave. The first turned him to stone and the second destroyed the statue into a million pieces.

"What's happening down there?" Cynder wondered out loud.

"Spyro? You okay, buddy?" Sparx yelled into the darkness below.

Just then the dark dragon shot up out of the darkness below.

"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Sparx screamed, scared by his corrupted brother.

Spyro stopped inside the beam of convexity, strengthening his dark power, as he looked upon Sparx and Cynder, wondering how he was going to deal with them.

"Oh no!" Cynder exclaimed. "Spyro STOP!"

Dark Spyro leered at them, scaring Sparx and worrying Cynder further.

"Whoa! Calm down man, it's me!" Sparx said fighting off another scream.

Spyro was currently fighting for control of his body. "I… I can't." Spyro said in a half distorted voice.

Cynder tackled Spyro out of the beam and rolled with him across the ground. Spyro's body had turned back to its normal shade of purple. "Spyro! Are you alright?" Cynder asked trying to shake Spyro awake.

"I… I think so." Spyro said waking up. "But something is wro.." Spyro's body became shrouded in a black mist.

"SPYRO!" Cynder exclaimed, afraid of what was about to happen.

Spyro's body absorbed the mist and began fading into black. Spyro gave a shout of pain. "CYNDER… PLEASE… HELP ME…"

"I don't know what to do!" Cynder said helplessly.

"ARGH" More shouts of pain came from Spyro. "Then run! I can't keep control much longer, and I feel Malefor approachiaaaaaAHHH!"

"No! I'm not leaving you Spyro!" Cynder said, her voice growing more worried by the second.

The shouts of pain stopped. Spyro's body was again black as the night sky.

"Spyro! Please! Say something!"

Nothing

"Spyro? SPYRO!" Cynder said, her concern beyond anything.

"You should've run when you had the chance," came a distorted voice from Spyro's body. "But no matter. My Master has arrived."

The beam of convexity looked as if it exploded, then all of a sudden it decreased to its original size. Cynder gave a sigh of relief, but then saw something that scared her to no end.

Malefor

"N-n-no…NO! How are you back?" Cynder said, now very afraid.

"Thanks to a friend of yours." Malefor said gesturing towards Spyro, who jumped to Malefor and bowed before him.

"My Master" Dark Spyro said, a mixture of awe and satisfaction in his voice.

"Rise my friend" Malefor beckoned. "How do you feel?"

"Strange, but not strange." Spyro began. "Strange, but better than before. I feel… powerful."

"Good my friend. Now may I ask, what are you willing to for me?" Malefor asked, testing his "friend".

"Whatever you ask of me, my Master." Spyro stated, becoming more eager for a battle.

"Good. Kill the mosquito and this traitor of a dragoness here." Malefor commanded, testing Spyro's loyalty.

"With Pleasure!"
