Chapter 2: Overthrowing Mundus

Spyro, Marquis and Winston both ran towards the spectator's box overlooking the arena. Spyro saw a bunch of people in the stands, he and Marquis and Winston made their way to the spectator box and found Mark and his wife Yulie, along with Sedro, the first dragon king and Mark's father, and Leon with Ember. "Well, this is a surprise." Spyro said walking in.

"Spyro, how have you been?" Mark asked. "Alright, and you?" Spyro asked. "Alright, where's Cynder?" Mark asked. "She's okay; we're waiting for our child that's all. Speaking of which, I was wondering where she is." Spyro said. "I'm right here." A voice said. Spyro turned around and Cynder was right behind him, she was taller and more attractive since a few years ago.

At first some disliked Cynder after the way she treated everyone when she was Malefor's top general years ago, but now they began to respect her. "There you are!" Spyro said and kissed her cheek. "Mark, how are you and Yulie doing?" Cynder asked Mark. "Okay, I saw Vergil in the library; he said the Demon Realms have been quiet lately." Mark said. "Really?" Spyro asked. "Yep, he's been investigating for a while" Mark told him.

"I wonder how everyone has been; we haven't seen each other in 6 years." Cynder said. "Well, we can worry about that later, right now the match is about to begin." Mark said. They all went to the edge as Leon began. "My people! I am pleased to welcome you to this event today, we will see who is the most strongest of fighters in this match. Now Let's Begin!" Leon shouted, the crowd cheered and the combatants ran out from the arena doors.

The combatants attacked one another in a death match, Leon and the others watched the spectacle below them. Mark had a smile on his face "I'll be right back." He said and left. "I have a feeling he's going to be in this match." Sedro said. He was right, because Mark soon reappeared in his traditional gold coat with his sword on his hip down in the arena.

The crowd began muttering to themselves seeing their king in the arena, even the combatants stopped. "Well? Let's begin the real fight." Mark said and charged at the combatants. Mark fought the combatants with ease, his sliced, beheaded, cut and slashed them, he pulled out his guns and fired them, and some of the enemies fell to the ground dead. "Come on; is there no one who can match my power?" Mark asked after killing the last combatant.

"I believe I can." A voice said. Mark turned around and saw Dante behind him, to the people they looked like cousins, their cloths, and hairstyles looked the same, but Mark had a dragon's arm on his right side. "Dante, I was wondering when you'd come." Mark said. "Vergil told me about the library and about this little match, so I decided to come and participate." Dante said. "Alright, let's see whose better, me or you." Mark said preparing his blade. "Alright then, come on!" Dante taunted, Mark charged at him.

Demitri charged at Mundus, he sliced his leg. Mundus cringed and punched Demitri into the wall. "If it wasn't for Dante, I would have killed him a few seconds ago." Mundus thought. He was still recovering from the battle against Dante a few years back, if someone tried to fight him now, he would be defeated.

Demitri slid down into the floor, he panted from the attack. "Is that all? I thought you being Malefor's son you'd put up a challenge" Mundus said. Demitri growled at Mundus "I'll show how much I am like my father!" Demitri yelled. Suddenly they could hear footsteps, a lot of them. "What's the meaning of this?!" Mundus asked. "My most loyal subjects." Demitri said. Suddenly they could hear laughing, a large chameleon/human hybrid appeared in the room, and he had bug-like wings on his back and green scaled skin. "Laugh with me! Isn't it funny?" the chameleon asked.

Suddenly they could hear crying from above them. They looked up and saw a man/bird creature with red, yellow and orange colored feathers; he had a horn on his head. He was crying as he circled the air, he screeched causing the windows in the room to shatter. He soon heard something running towards them, they soon saw a large, black wolf with yellow eyes run at them. He growled at them with a crazed look in his eyes.

Something walked out of the shadows, it was a man in a black hood, the robes where torn, he carried a large scythe, his face was hidden by the hood, only a pair of red eyes could be seen. "The Hounds of War, I thought they where dead." Mundus said. "They weren't, I found them in hell a while ago, including someone who worked with my father." Demitri said. Suddenly they heard metallic footsteps, behind Demitri was a knight in black armor, his helmet had two horns standing up, a gold cape on his back and a large sword on his shoulder.

"Ah, Diablo Angelo" Demitri said. The knight didn't say anything but walked forward. "So, you brought some lackeys with you." Mundus said. "Mundus…stand down" a dark voice said. They saw a cloud of shadow with red eyes next to Demitri. "T-The Dark God, Lucifer? I thought you where a myth!" Mundus yelled. "I'm not a myth, I am real." The Dark God said.

"Now stand down or else you will die!" Demitri said. "Never, I am the devil king! I rule this realm!" Mundus yelled. "Very well then, you've chosen your fate" Demitri said, he snapped his fingers and everyone attacked Mundus.

Dante and Mark crossed blades; Mark's glowed bright while Dante's glowed dark. Mark sliced Dante but he blocked with a slash. "Dang, your stronger than last time" Dante said. "I learned from the best." Mark said. The two charged at one another again, this time in their respective forms, Mark in his Dragon King Form and Dante in his devil form.

"He's really improving" Cynder said. "Yep" Sedro said. "Hard to believe he's the same teen who brought down Malefor" Leon said. "And hard to believe he's my son" Sedro said. "Our son Sedro" Elaine said walking up to them. "Oh, Elaine. I didn't see you there." Sedro said. "So, how's our son doing?" Elaine asked. "Pretty good, he and Dante are battling pretty well." Sedro said.

Everyone watched the fight rage on, both Dante and Mark where wounded a bit but they still wouldn't quit. The two panted from their last attack to each other, both had some scars but they healed quickly, the two charged at one another, preparing to clash once more when suddenly a beam of light shot down in front of them. The two stopped as a wave of power shot from the beam.

The two where sent flying to the wall and crashed. Dante and Mark both got out and saw someone in the light as it faded. It was a man in a white robe; he was about in his twenties with short, blond hair. He had a white, feathered wing on his right side. "Are you the dragon King I heard about?" The man asked. "Yeah, and who are you?" Mark asked. "I come bearing news…The Devil King Mundus is dead" The man said.

Dante and Mark gaped at him, the crowd began whispering to themselves, Spyro and the others where taken aback by the news also. "Mundus is dead?" Mark asked. "How? Even I couldn't kill him" Dante said. "He was killed by a black dragon called Demitri; Mundus called him the Son of Malefor." The white robed man said. "Malefor's Son?" Everyone asked unanimously. "Yep, some said he had the Hounds of war with him, and a knight called Diablo Angelo, along with the Dark God." The man said.

Everyone knew who the Hounds where, a group of five men who where once humans, they betrayed Mark's hometown along with 8 others, there where five members originally, but one of them, Raging Gryphon, was killed by Revan. "So, he was killed?" Dante asked. "Yes, and Demitri is the new Devil King" The man told them.

"I was asked by my master to find the Dragon King and warn him about this, but I also want to know how powerful you really are." The man said. "So, you want to fight?" Mark asked and began smiling. "Yes, show me if the legends about you are true." The man said and pulled out a long, white blade. "Alright, come on!" Mark called.
