(The Dragon Realms)
Many years ago, a large red dragon named Ignitus walked through the dragon temple and entered a room which had a small pool of green mystical water in the center.
"In the Year of the Dragon, in the world beyond the realms, I, like all the others awaited the birth of the dragon of whom the prophecies foretold."
Ignitus looked at the back of the room where a purple dragon egg was sitting on a pedestal.
"But the Dark Master heard the prophecies as well. I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I thought we were ready, I thought they were safe. Oh, how I was wrong."
Suddenly, the dragon temple began to shake. In that moment, a large yellow dragon named Volteer entered the room.
"Save them! The Dark Armies have come!" Volteer yells
Upon hearing that, Ignitus took the purple egg in his claws and flew out of the dragon temple. He soon landed in a swamp which consisted of mushrooms both large and small. Ignitus placed the purple egg on a large mushroom and set in on a gentle flowing river.
"May the ancestors look after you. May they look after us all." Ignitus says
Ignitus watched as the purple egg floated down the river before disappearing into the night sky.
"Eventually, the egg came to rest at a distant swamp, where a family of dragonflies gathered 'round wondering what magnificent creature could possibly live inside."
Two dragonflies named Nina and Flash approached the egg.
"They didn't have to wonder for long."
The egg began to shake slightly and eventually it hatched.
"What emerged from the egg frightened them at first, but finally amazed and astonished them. It was a purple dragon, who they adopted and raised as one of their own."
(Present time)
Years later to the present time, a young purple dragon named Spyro was playing with his brother, Sparx who was a dragonfly. Spyro leaned against a tree with his wings covering his eyes while Sparx was hiding from him.
"...eight, nine, ten! Here I come!" Spyro says
"They named him Spyro and he grew up alongside Sparx, the young dragonfly who was born on the same day. In fact, the two were almost brothers. And a more oddly-matched, yet compatible pair of brothers the world has ever seen."
"You'll never catch me, purple boy!" Sparx says
"As for Spyro, he, like all of us, accepted the world into which he was born, believing he was one of them. A big purple one of them, true, but one of them nonetheless."
Spyro looked around and saw Sparx hiding behind a tree.
"I see you, my little glowing friend." Spyro says
"Seeing and catching are two different things, big boy." Sparx says
Sparx flies further into the forest while Spyro watched him go.
"Yeah, you'd better run." Spyro says
Soon enough, Spyro chased after Sparx, heading in the direction he went.
"What's the matter, little Spyro? Can't fly? Ahh, that's right. You walk everywhere. Mmm, that's too bad." Sparx says
"You're toast when I catch you!" Spyro says
"Aaah, must be tough to lose all the time, Sp-" Sparx says
Not paying attention to where he was going, Sparx wound up getting sucked by a Frogweed which swallowed him.
"Alright, let me outta here, you overgrown fungus. Spyro, seriously, lend me a hand over here, will ya, brother?" Sparx says
"Geez, Sparx. I don't know. Frogweeds gotta eat too." Spyro says with a grin on his face
"C'mon, Spyro, whack it! Do something. I'm your buddy. Hurry up! My wings are getting moldy." Sparx says
Spyro rams his head into the Frogweed's stomach, making it spit out Sparx. The Frogweed sinks into the ground after spitting Sparx out. Sparx slams right into Spyro's chest and falls to the ground. He was soon back up flying infront of his dragon brother.
"Ugghhh... now I smell almost as bad as you do. Oooh, and that's pretty bad. See ya later, sucker!" Sparx says
In less than a heartbeat, Sparx took off into the forest, leaving Spyro in the dust.
"So much for gratitude." Spyro sighs
"You know, this is getting a little boring." Sparx says
Suddenly, Sparx was snatched up by a large ape.
"Aah! Aaah!" Sparx screams
"Sparx!" Spyro cries out
"I thought all of youz guys was gone." The ape leader says
"You miserable coward, let me go!" Sparx says
"Grrrr. Ha ha ha ha. Don't let him get away." The ape leader says
The two apes jump down and attack Spyro.
"Let me outta here and fight me like a... thing... whatever you are. You pathetic wretch!" Sparx says
The ape leader jumps down and throws Sparx to the ground.
"Nnnnnnnya! I've had about enough of you..." The ape leader says
"Sparx, look out!" Spyro yells
The ape leader walks over and raises his foot to stomp down on Sparx while Spyro watched in horror.
"Noooooo... aaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Spyro shouts
Suddenly, Spyro let loose a large stream of fire from his mouth which engulfed the two apes in flames, making them run away.
"Wha hoo. Was that fire, dude?" Sparx asks
The ape leader couldn't believe what he just saw and he started to back away.
"I gotta report to Cynder and the Dark Lord!" The ape leader says
With that said, the ape fled into the forest. As soon as the apes were gone, Spyro walked up to Sparx who was still in his cage.
"Spyro, let me outta here. I think my wings are singed." Sparx says
Spyro lifts up the small cage with his mouth and tosses it aside.
"You almost torched me, dude!" Sparx says
Sparx immediately paused when he realized what just happened.
"Wait..." Sparx says
(Moments later)
Spyro and Sparx returned to their home and met with their parents: Nina and Flash.
"You breathed fire! So I'm just about ready to blow the top off that place and kick that guy's booty, when Spyro let loose with some serious flame, dude... No joke. Flames. From his mouth." Sparx says
"I was just trying to help." Spyro says
"Some help. You nearly turned me into ashes, dude." Sparx says
"Mom, dad, you should've seen him. He came out breathing fire... alright? I tell you, it was crazy!" Sparx says
Flash and Nina both looked at each other, then looked back at Spyro and Sparx.
"You don't believe me? Spyro, tell 'em..." Sparx says
"It's true, dad. I swear. I just got real mad, opened my mouth, and whoosh... flame city." Spyro says
"It's not that, Spyro. I believe you both. It's just that your mother and I knew this day would come." Flash says
"What day?" Spyro asks
"The day when we would have to tell you the truth." Flash says
"So that was the night that Spyro learned he wasn't really a dragonfly at all, but an exile from an unknown, distant land."
Over the next couple of minutes, Spyro's parents told him the truth about how they had found him back when he was an egg.
"So... you mean... I'm not your real son?" Spyro asks
"You are our real son. It's just that you came from somewhere else. Far away, where wars rage on and on, and the innocent seem to pay the price." Nina says
(Moments later)
"It wasn't long after that night that Spyro decided to venture forth and find his home."
Spyro was preparing to leave and journey forth into the world when Sparx flew up to him.
"So that's it, huh? Leaving Sparx behind at the old homestead? Not a care in the world, don't look back." Sparx says
"This is your home, Sparx, but just found out that my home is out there somewhere and I've got to find it. Besides, I'm not leaving you behind. I'm just leaving you where you belong." Spyro says
"Well, I thought I belonged with you, 'coz I'm always with you. But I guess I was wrong, huh? I'm sure I'm wrong on a lot of things. You know what? You're right, I'm wrong." Sparx says
After saying that, Sparx flew off, taking his leave.
"Don't worry about him, Spyro. You know how hotheaded he can be. You'll see him when you get back." Flash says
Spyro looked down feeling a bit sad to leave his family.
"Now, now, son, keep your head up, your nose clean, and use that breath of yours wisely. All gifts come with a price." Flash says
Nina flew up and placed her hands on Spyro's head, making him look up at her.
"Don't listen to your father's preaching, Spyro. Just be yourself. It's all any of us can do." Nina says
(Moments later)
"So, as hard as it was, Spyro left the only family he'd ever known, and journeyed on... to where he did not know."
Spyro made his way through the swamp as his journey began. Suddenly, he heard noises all around him which made him feel nervous. He then started making his way quickly through the forest. He soon stopped and looked around his surroundings. He then looked ahead and saw Sparx hovering infront of him, making him jump with a start.
"Ah! Sparx!" Spyro says
"Spyro, so, ah, me and the old man were just chatting and this whole belonging thing, you know, came up, and we decided that best friends belong together...even if one of them is purple and does have some weight issues." Sparx says
"Weight issues, huh? At least I didn't get turned into a lantern." Spyro says
"Oh please. Lantern shmantern. Let's go see what's out there." Sparx says
(Moments later)
Spyro and Sparx continued making their way through the swamp when they suddenly heard a loud roar sound through the air. The two brothers looked at each other with widened eyes and screamed.
"Ahhhhh!" Spyro and Sparx scream
"Breathe, Sparx! Go to your happy place!" Sparx says
The two soon stop and catch their breath.
"What in the world was that?" Spyro asks
"I don't know... but I'm going this way... far from it." Sparx says
With that said, Spyro and Sparx continued with their journey together.
(Moments later)
"Which brings us to the moment where Spyro's journey really began. When he and I finally met... again... for the very first time... ahhh, it's a long story."
Spyro and Sparx walked through a cave until they met Ignitus who was just as surprised as they were to see him.
"And I thought you were a big one. Goodness." Sparx says
"You're... you're alive!" Ignitus gasps
Ignitus then looks down.
"But it's too late... too late." Ignitus says
"Too late for what? Who are you? Do you know me? Where do I come from? What are you? What are we? What am I?!" Spyro asks
"You mean you don't know?" Ignitus asks
"Does it sound like he knows?" Sparx says sarcastically
"You're a dragon. When you were just an egg, it was my job to protect you... It was my job to protect all of you." Ignitus says
"There are others?" Spyro asks
"Others? There were. There were four of us. Guardians that is, and we had one job: ensure that all the eggs were hatched. It was the Year of the Dragon, after all, and our very survival depended on those eggs, but the Temple and the Grotto are now gone... overrun by..." Ignitus says
"Temple? What Temple? Can you take me? Can I see it? Where I came from, I mean?" Spyro asks
"No, no. Who knows what forces occupy the Temple now. What state it's in. You don't understand. After they came for you..." Ignitus says
"They? Who are they? And why did they come for me?" Spyro asks
"Because the prophecies spoke of a Purple Dragon, a dragon born only once every ten generations. You." Ignitus says
"You? Does that mean him?" Sparx asks
Sparx looks at Spyro, then back at Ignitus.
"Wait... this guy? Spyro some special once in a purple thing? Ha ha, I think you might have mixed that one up. Woo, that's a little... bit of a stretch. I've heard some, ah, doozies in my day, but that takes the cake." Sparx asks gesturing to Spyro
"Spyro, is it? Well, Spyro, I assure you that I'm telling the truth. The Dark Armies attacked, intent on destroying the eggs and killing the rest of us. They nearly succeeded... and then they lay siege to the other islands. We were at war. For many years, we fought over the islands. Brutal clashes with the armies of the Dark Master, who was intent on preventing the prophecies from coming true. The other three Guardians and I led our small but valiant forces into battle after battle against our ruthless, mercenary foe. Then, when we were beginning to turn the tide... Cynder came." Ignitus says
"Cynder?" Spyro asks
"Yes, Cynder. Cynder was... is... monstrous, horrific, ferocious, a black dragon that fills the skies with terror, an unstoppable force of nature..." Ignitus says
"Ah, yeah, you had me at ferocious. Listen, sounds like that thing that was chasing us, Spyro." Sparx says
"Yes, she's still searching for me, and years ago I watched as Cynder plucked the other Guardians from the fields of battle, like so many ripe grapes from a vine. Without them, our cause is lost. Only I, Ignitus, managed to escape. Not that it matters. Cynder now rules all... and I sit here wondering what might have been. What else I might have done." Ignitus says
"Wow... sounds... fun. I wanna hang out with this guy." Sparx says
"Yeah, why have you given up? I just find out that I'm this special dragon, and you tell me all is lost? That I have no home or family left? I've come way too far to give up now. I wanna see where I come from." Spyro says
"Hold up, savior boy, were you not listening to this guy? He's talking about flying dragons, and war, and horrible... this is bad stuff, alright? I don't know if we're hearing the same thing." Sparx says
"Yes, Spyro, it's not as simple as that. It's true, the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon destined to put his stamp on his age, but the prophecies didn't foretell the devastation that surrounds us now." Ignitus says
"Maybe you're right, but I'm willing to try. I want to take the first step." Spyro says
"You're actually gonna go along with this lunatic?" Sparx asks
"Very well then. We'll go. You deserve to see your beginning before it all ends." Ignitus says
With that said, Ignitus began heading for the Dragon Temple while Spyro followed him. Sparx was a bit reluctant, but nevertheless, he followed the two dragons.
"Am I the only one sane here? He's telling us we're doomed alright? That's when I go, ah, maybe we should go back to the forest with the flowers and the fun stuff." Sparx says
(The Dragon Temple)
A blue portal of light opened up and out stepped Ducar in his Keyblade Armor. The portal of light closes and Ducar's Keyblade Armor magically disappears in a flash of light. Ducar looks around his surroundings and found himself inside a temple of some sorts. He looked to his left and saw a dragon statue. Suddenly, he heard voices deeper inside the temple.
"Ignitus, what are these things?" A voice says
"I am not sure. These creatures are very mysterious." Another voice says
"Well whatever they are, they're gonna beat the crud out of us!" A third voice says
Ducar heads deeper into the Dragon Temple, following the voices. He came upon a ledge that overlooked an open area down below and what he saw amazed him. Ducar saw the large red dragon, Ignitus, Spyro, and Sparx. He also noticed strange creatures surrounding them. It turns out these were the Unversed. The creatures of negativity that Master Eraqus spoke of.
"Those must be the Unversed. The ones Master Eraqus spoke of." Ducar says
Ducar summons his Keyblade: Vanguard of Honor into his right-hand.
The Unversed surrounding Ignitus, Spyro, and Sparx were known as Flood.
The Flood were sleek, humanoid creatures with dark black skin. Their arms and legs end in points and have no distinct digits. It has a triangular head with two long, jagged, lightning bolt-shaped antennae reminiscent of the Unversed symbol. Its red eyes had an angry expression, and it moves in a jerking, twitchy motion.
"Uh, Spyro, I don't like the looks of this." Sparx says
"You and me both, Sparx." Spyro says
One of the Floods leaps toward the trio for an attack. But before it could reach them, Ducar jumps into action and cuts through it with his Keyblade, casting it into oblivion. He then lands infront of Ignitus, Spyro, and Sparx who were caught completely surprised by his entrance.
"Stay back. Leave me to deal with them." Ducar says in a calm voice
The Flood immediately turn their attention to Ducar and attack him. One Flood swipes it's claws at Ducar, but he jumps into the air and casts down the Flood with a swipe of his Keyblade. Two more Flood try to attack Ducar at the same time. Without even looking, Ducar jumps into the air and spins around, swinging his Keyblade at both of the Unversed. Ducar lands back on the ground, leaps toward a Flood, and lunges his Keyblade at it. The Unversed disintigrates from the attack.
"Wow. That guy's got some moves." Sparx says
"Yeah. Look at him go." Spyro says
Several more Unversed appear out of the shadows infront of Ducar. Ducar motions his Keyblade back, then quickly swinging his Keyblade upward, downward, then swings left and right four times, destroying each of the Unversed. He jumps toward a Flood, cleaving his Keyblade downward, spins toward another Flood swinging his Keyblade, and finally cleaves his Keyblade down on another Flood. The final Flood tries to attack Ducar from behind. Ducar holds his Keyblade behind him and zips past the Flood, striking it down with a single, fast, devastating strike.
Soon, all of the Unversed were defeated leaving Ignitus, Spyro, and Sparx completely amazed as to how Ducar fought with his Keyblade.
"Ok. Who did not think that was cool!? I certaintly did!" Sparx says
"That was amazing!" Spyro says
"Indeed. I have never seen such a warrior fight valiantly." Ignitus says
Ducar spins his Keyblade infront of him, then brings it to his right-side before he de-summons it in a flash of light. After dealing with the Unversed, Ducar turns around to face the two dragons and the dragonfly. Ducar stood much taller than Spyro with the purple dragon's height going as far up to Ducar's waist. As for Ignitus, Ducar stood as high up to his chest.
"Thank you for saving us from those dark creatures." Ignitus says
"You are most welcome. I am Ducar."
"Very pleased to meet you, Ducar. I am Ignitus, the Guardian of Fire."
"I'm Spyro and this is my brother, Sparx."
"What up man! Your moves were off the hook!" Sparx says
"Wait. I've never seen you in the Dragon Realms before. And if I am correct, you are an off-worlder?" Ignitus says
"In that, Ignitus, you are correct. I am a Keyblade Wielder." Ducar says
"A Keyblade Wielder?" Spyro says confused
"A powerful warrior of light and darkness. A Guardian of the Universe and it's inhabitants." Ducar says
"And what about that giant key you used, huh? You helping people unlock the doors to their giant houses or something?" Sparx jokes
"Sparx!" Spyro says giving the dragonfly a deadpan look
"A Keyblade is a powerful weapon that has many special, magical powers." Ducar says
Ducar stretches his right-hand out and in a flash of light, his Keyblade appears in his hand, surprising Spyro, Sparx, even Ignitus.
"Of course. I have heard rumors and legends of these Keyblade Wielders, but I never thought they would be true." Ignitus says
"How do you know, Ignitus?" Spyro asks
"Our ancestors spoke of mighty, powerful warriors that possess god-like powers fighting the forces of darkness always willing to protect and serve." Ignitus says
"But that's not all. There are also Keyblade Wielders of darkness that care nothing for the suffering of others and only seek to satisfy themselves with ultimate power. I'm not sure if there any around though." Ducar says
"Keyblade Wielders of light and darkness. That's amazing." Spyro says
"But why are you here?" Ignitus asks
"I was sent by my Master, Eraqus to investigate a disturbance between the balance of light and darkness. I am looking to seek the source of this disturbance and eliminate it. My friends, Terra, Aqua, my wife, Shara, and myself were told of the worlds being in danger from the forces of darkness and the Unversed. And so we ventured out into the Universe to fight and maintain peace throughout the worlds." Ducar says
"Wow. That's quite a story." Spyro says
"Indeed. Your quest sounds like a perilous one." Ignitus says
"Whoa! Whoa! Unversed? Is that what those ugly monsters were?" Sparx asks
"I must assume so." Ducar says
"Well, we will gladly accept any help you can offer, Ducar. We might as well need your help anyway. No doubt, destiny has brought you here for a purpose." Ignitus says
"If you are in dire need of assistance, I am more than happy to help. That is why I am here." Ducar says
"Thank you. Spyro, Ducar, follow me." Ignitus says
With Ducar now joining them, Spyro, and Sparx followed Ignitus into the Dragon Temple. Exploring the temple, the heroes saw a large dragon statue with glowing yellow eyes. Then, they followed Ignitus outside onto a round balcony. What Ducar and Spyro saw made them gasp in shock. The landscape they saw infront of them was covered darkness. Dark clouds blanketed the skies and dark blue lightning illuminated the skies with it's ominous light.
"What happened here?" Spyro asks
"This is what Cynder has done. She has put all the islands under her iron rule." Ignitus says
"I wanted to see where I came from, but I didn't know it was going to be like this." Spyro says
"Yeah, no offense, but this place is a dump." Sparx says
"Cynder... Tell me more about her." Ducar says
"Cynder is a monstrous, horrific, ferocious black dragon that fills the skies with terror." Ignitus says
"A dragon full of darkness. I should've known." Ducar says
"This was once our home. But together, we can make it our home once again and reclaim what's rightfully ours." Ignitus says
"What do you mean?" Spyro asks
"I mean that my time for heroics is past, but with your help and Ducar's aid, we might be able to defeat Cynder." Ignitus says
"I-I can't, Ignitus. I just learned what I am." Spyro says
"You can, Spyro, you can. You are a purple dragon, a very special creature. You and Ducar have both given me hope again." Ignitus says
Ducar, Spyro, and Ignitus look out into the open world.
"Now, it's time to give hope to all of them." Ignitus says
"I'm not sure what help I can be, Ignitus, but I'll try..." Spyro says
Spyro gathered up his courage and put on a look of determination.
"I'll try." Spyro says feeling determined
"And you won't have to go alone." Ducar says
Spyro looks up at Ducar with a smile on his face.
"Thanks, Ducar." Spyro says
"Good. That's all I can ask. Now, both of you, come with me." Ignitus says
Ducar, Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus head back into the Dragon Temple and enter the room with the large dragon statue.
"Now then, if you are to have a chance against Cynder and her army, Spyro, you're going to need to learn a lot more. Now...it is time to unleash the true dragon within you." Ignitus says
As soon as Ignitus said that, the dragon statue began to lower down into a hole.
"Each of the Guardian is master of a single element. I, as you may have surmised,
am master of fire. Pay attention and you may be one day too. Now, let us begin." Ignitus says
Ignitus and Ducar walked over to the door which they entered the chamber and watched as Spyro took on some training.
"For your first test, I want you to use your Fire Breath against these dummies." Ignitus says
Four small dojo dummies appeared infront of Spyro and the purple dragon got into battle stance. The dojo dummies were animated and shaped like the apes that Spyro and Sparx had encountered earlier. Within moments, the dummies attacked, but Spyro quickly made short work of them with his Fire Breath, burning the dummies to a crisp.
"Very good, young dragon. Now for you next test, I want you to try and breathe a ball of fire upon these dummies." Ignitus says
Four medium dojo dummies appeared infront of Spyro and the purple dragon got into battle stance again. Two of the dummies charged at Spyro, but he shot them down with two fireballs fired from his mouth. A third dummy swings it's club down on Spyro, but he jumped over to the side and shot a fireball at it. The final dummy charged at Spyro and swinged it's club down on him, but the purple dragon jumped back and brought the dummy down with a well-placed fireball from his mouth.
"You have demonstrated the ability to control and manipulate fire, Spyro. It is clear that you have a strong kinship with the flame. But now, it is time for your final challenge. I want you to gather all fire burning inside you and unleash it upon these dummies." Ignitus says
Eight medium dojo dummies appeared around Spyro and surrounded him. Spyro began to levitate in mid-air with his entire body enveloped in flames. Just as the dummies closed in on him, Spyro unleashes a large shockwave of fire which disintegrates the dummies.
"Well done, Spyro. You may have a chance against Cynder yet." Ignitus says
Spyro walks back over to Ignitus and Ducar. Then, the two dragons look at Ducar wanting to see what he could do.
"Now, let's see how Ducar fares with his Keyblade." Ignitus says
Ducar nods in acknowledgment and he steps forward. Six medium dojo dummies appeared infront of Ducar who summoned his Keyblade in a flash of light in his right-hand. Ducar spins his Keyblade around his body, then draws it to his right-side, holding it with both hands.
The dummies made the first move and they all charged toward Ducar. While the dummies charged at him, Ducar just stood where he was with his Keyblade held infront of him with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his body began to emit a bright red aura and flames started to engulf both his body and his Keyblade. Just as the dummies reached him, Ducar opened his eyes which briefly had fire burning inside them. He crosses his arms, then thrusts them out, causing a burst of fire to explode from his body, destroying all the dummies around him.
Eight more dojo dummies appear infront of Ducar and they attack him. Now, it was Ducar's turn to attack. Ducar strikes four dummies with four spinning slashes, slicing through each of them with his flaming Keyblade. The other four dummies charge at Ducar, intending to strike him all at once. Ducar jumped into the air, making the dummies miss. While in the air, Ducar swinged his Keyblade with a right swing, launching four fireballs at the dummies. The fireballs hit with direct impact, blowing the dummies into oblivion.
Again, eight more dojo dummies appear infront of Ducar and they charge at him. Ducar struck first by throwing his flaming Keyblade at four of the dummies. His Keyblade slices through two dummies with a clean hit, then flies back around like a boomerang and takes out two more dummies before Ducar catches it in his hand. Ducar rushes forward at the other four dummies with his body cloaked in flames and strikes with a left-diagonal slash while a revolving ring of fire surrounded him.
A final group of eight dojo dummies appeared infront of Ducar and they all charged at him at once. Ducar stood his ground and held his Keyblade infront of him as he prepared to unleash a powerful attack. A fireball appeared on the tip of Ducar's Keyblade and it started to grow in size, becoming larger and larger. The fireball was soon larger than Ducar himself and it dwarfed him in size. It even was larger than Ignitus who was quite surprised. Even Spyro and Sparx were astonished by how big the fireball was. As soon as he was fully charged, Ducar leaps into the air and hurls the large fireball down toward the dummies. Upon impact, the fireball detonates in a blinding explosion, disintegrating the dummies in a fiery blaze. Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus shielded themselves from the explosion. The whole chamber was covered in a thick blanket of smoke.
When the smoke fades away, there in the center of the chamber was Ducar who was down on one knee with his Keyblade held behind his back. He rose up to his feet and looked ahead of him. He saw Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus staring at him with widened eyes and looks of astonishment clear on their faces. They had no idea that Ducar was this powerful with his Keyblade. Sparx soon broke the silence and spoke first.
"Ok, that settle it. Ducar is a-ma-zing! Simply amazing!" Sparx says
"Ducar, that was incredible. I had no idea you could use fire like that. How could you even do all that?" Spyro says
"When it comes to being a Keyblade Wielder, many things are possible. What you just saw was a demonstration of my ability to harness some of the Keyblade's mystical powers." Ducar says
"Are there any other cool stuff you can do with that fancy, shmancy Keyblade of yours?" Sparx asks
"You may yet see, Sparx. You may yet see." Ducar says with a grin
(Moments later)
Ducar, Spyro, Sparx and Ignitus enter a room with a large green pool of water.
"So what's with the pool, big guy?" Sparx asks
"If you must know, certain dragons have the ability to see vision, the thoughts, memories, and dreams of others and to see what is happening in places far, far away. I am one such dragon and in this pool the visions come forth." Ignitus says
Ignitus turns to look at Ducar.
"Perhaps we should look into the pool to learn more about you, Ducar. To know what you're dreams are, and the memories you carry with you." Ignitus says
"Of course. I'd be more than happy to share my thoughts with you." Ducar says
With that said, Spyro, Sparx and Ignitus looked into the pool. In the pool, Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus saw Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Shara, Ducar, and Devon sitting on the ledge. Ventus had a wooden sword sitting on his lap while Devon had a wooden Keyblade sitting on his lap with his name etched into the guard. Terra also had a wooden Keyblade and like Devon, his Keyblade also had his name etched into the guard.
"Ven, Devon, you see all those dents and nicks you got?" Ducar asks
"Each one of those is proof you're learning." Shara says
"You're both trying to hard to move your body. You need to learn to let your body move you." Terra says
Terra stands to his feet with his wooden Keyblade and holds it up.
"In your hand, take this blade. And so long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, it's wielder you shall one day be made." Terra says
"What's that about? Who went and made you master?" Aqua says
"Being a Keyblade Master is all I dreamed about." Terra says
"Well, you're not the only one." Aqua says
"I know. You, Ven, Shara, Ducar, Devon, and me all share the same dream." Terra says
After looking into the pool, Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus look toward Ducar.
"Those people in the vision. They're your friends?" Spyro asks
"Yeah. That was Terra, Ventus, Aqua, my wife, Shara, and my son, Devon." Ducar says
"So it is true. You are a Keyblade Master." Ignitus says
"Not quite. During the Mark of Master Exam, I failed to maintain the darkness within my heart." Ducar says
Ducar places his right-hand on his heart.
"Now, I am looking for a means to overcome that darkness so that I may show I have what it takes to be a Keyblade Master." Ducar says
"I see. And I believe you will succeed. In your heart, Ducar, although there is darkness, there is also light. I look at you and I see an honorable warrior." Ignitus says
Ducar looks up at Ignitus with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Ignitus. That means a lot." Ducar says
"Yeah, yeah. That's great in all. But can we get this over with?" Sparx says
"Now, one of the Guardians, Volteer is being held on Dante's Freezer. Spyro, Ducar, while I look for details on the others, I want you both to venture there and find out what you can. Remember, just look around. If you encounter Cynder, run. Even with Ducar being as powerful as he is, you are not ready to face her yet." Ignitus says
"Okay, so when people are trying to kill me, I run. Got it." Sparx says
"But Ignitus, how do we get there?" Spyro asks
"I'm glad you asked." Ignitus says with a smile
"Why are you smiling? I don't like where this is going." Sparx says
(Moments later)
Ducar, Spyro, Sparx and Ignitus headed back outside the temple onto the balcony.
"Let me get this straight. You're saying that I... can fly?" Spyro asks
"Maybe you've been hanging in those caves a little too long, old man. Spyro can't fly. We all know that." Sparx says
"Yeah, a bit of fresh air might do you good. I've never flown in my life." Spyro says
"It's you that will be getting some fresh air, Spyro. Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath and empty your mind." Ignitus says
Spyro does as instructed and closed his eyes.
"Good. Feel the power of the ancestors coursing through your body. In times of crisis, they will come to you and teach you, unlocking powers you never knew you had." Ignitus says
"Oh this I gotta see." Sparx says
"Just forget everything you ever thought you knew. Forget yourself. Only through forgetting, will you remember what your ancient blood already knows: you can fly." Ignitus says
With his eyes still closed, Spyro began flapping his wings and slowly began to hover above the ground. When he opened his eyes, Spyro found himself hovering above the ground and was surprised.
"Alright. Now that Spyro knows how to fly, it's time we get things started." Ducar says
Ducar presses on his left-pauldron with his right-hand and a bright light envelopes his body, illuminating the entire area. Spyro, Sparx and Ignitus shield themselves from the blinding light. When the light dims down, Ducar was in his Keyblade Armor. Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus all looked amazed at Ducar.
"Wow. Nice armor, man." Sparx says
Ducar looks down toward Spyro in his Keyblade Armor.
"Spyro, are you ready?" Ducar asks
"I'm ready." Spyro says
Ducar nods in agreement. Ducar takes his Keyblade and throws it into the air. His Keyblade changes into his Keyblade Glider and it flies down to him. Ducar jumps onto his Keyblade Glider while Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus look at him in amazement.
"Nice ride." Sparx says
"Let's go!" Ducar says
With that said, Ducar takes off into the sky with Spyro and Sparx following close behind as they begin their journey together.
