New Friends and a Short Lived Battle
It's good to be back in business lol. Thank you all my readers for sticking around and reading my story. Well this is the next chapter most of the characters in here are my OC's so just go with it. You already should know the ones that are not mine . Lux, Steel, and Dawn. Well there is a few that I will be adding to the bunch which is.. Blade, and Tremor . (as the earth quake tremor I'm so clever ^_^) XD just don't ask ROFL. Well any way enjoy everyone :D. _ also this is a LONG chapter ….. _.
The sun was rising over the mountain. Its beautiful rays washed over the land. The city bathed in the light and glistened bright gold. Spyro and Cynder lay asleep on the floor. Kenta was sleeping peacefully. His body was slowly rising and falling with each breath. The sunlight slowly crept into the room and shone on Kenta. Kenta's eye opened to see the beautiful view. He looked down to the young couple sprawled on the floor. He smiled and looked back to the sunrise.
'This world has its wonders and its beauties. It's nothing like my world. My world was all but gray and white everyone wore white or the royal gray. The buildings were white. You would think many people were gloomy where I live, but in actuality people were happy as can be. These people are lucky to have been born into such a world.' Kenta thought. Kenta's smile changed to a frown. He remembered the gruesome scene of his people dying.
Kenta shook the memory away and looked down to his injured body.
"Hey, Kenta didn't think you'd be up so early. Are you feeling any better?" Kenta looked towards Spyro. Cynder was still curled in a ball sleeping.
"Ya, I'm feeling a lot better. Spyro, you think you can do me a favor?" Kenta asked.
"Ya, sure, what do you need?" Spyro said while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Can you help me out of this bed? I want to walk around the town for a little while." Spyro cocked his head.
"Kenta I'd like to help, but I don't think you're ready to actually walk yet. Are you sure about this? Terrador said you should heal first." Kenta closed his eyes.
"Well from what I recall he never said a thing." Kenta grinned and looked back to Spyro.
"I swear I'm going to get in a lot of trouble for doing this." Spyro sighed.
"Thank you." Kenta said. He then stood on his legs, balancing his weight. "Ok just fly above me, pick me up, and set me down on the ground." Spyro did as instructed. He flew above Kenta and grabbed his sides. "OW, hey watch the scar!"
"Sorry." Spyro said. He repositioned his paws below the scar.
"Now remember when you pick me up you're putting pressure on my scar. So make it quick." Spyro did as told he lifted him up and placed him on the ground. Kenta winced at the pain. He stumbled a little, but regained his balance.
"Well at least that's over." Kenta breathed heavily. His stubbornness really got to him. That and he didn't want to be sitting in that bed any longer. Spyro stood beside him.
"You sure you're ok?" Kenta looked back to Spyro and nodded, grinning as he limped to the door. Spyro opened the door for him. Kenta got used to the pain and walked without limping. He looked down the halls checking if anyone was walking by. He didn't want anyone to notice him just yet.
"I just want to take a look around. I suspect I'll be living here for a while so I might as well find my way around the place." Kenta reached back to the knot in the bandages and pulled it loose. Spyro looked at his form. He was surprised that most of the scars had healed in less than one day. Kenta walked out with Spyro behind him. They both wandered the temple for some time, not saying a word. Kenta would now and then look at the pictures on the walls. They were walking in complete silence for about thirty minutes.
Spyro and Kenta soon found themselves on the wall of Warfang. Kenta stood on the edge bathing in the sunlight. A gust of wind blew by and with it cherry blossoms. He looked in the direction of the blossoms as they headed into the blue sky.
"This world is beautiful." Kenta said, "Do you think it will always stay like this, Spyro?"
Spyro pondered. "I don't think it will always be like this, but I'm sure we can keep it like this if we want to." Kenta looked back to the purple dragon. He looked out to the vast jungle. Kenta looked back to the temple.
"Well I've seen enough…that, and my wounds feel a lot better." Kenta started to walk back to the temple and Spyro ran to catch up with him. He looked at Kenta's form again to notice that all the gashes were gone. The giant gash left on his lung had become but a scar.
Spyro was astonished at how fast the dragon healed.
'How the hell is that even possible? His scars were still bloody when he took of the bandages." Spyro thought to himself. People started to come out of their homes.
"Shoot, c'mon Kenta we got to get back inside before anyone sees you." Kenta nodded and sprinted towards the temple with Spyro close behind. They made it back into the temple and headed back up the stairs.
"C'mon were almost… UH..!" Spyro had just made it up the stairs and saw Kenta and a dragoness tumbling backwards
"Ow, my head." The voice was feminine. Kenta blinked a few times trying to come out of the daze. He looked down to see a white dragoness lying on top of him. She rubbed her head and blinked. She looked down to find a male dragon. She quickly jumped off of him.
"Watch where you're going!" The dragoness exclaimed. She shook her head and started walking off. Kenta stood up and looked towards the white dragoness.
"Hi, Spyro." She said as she walked by. Kenta shook his head and rubbed it.
"You alright, Kenta?" Spyro asked. Kenta nodded.
"Who is she and what's her problem?"
Spyro shrugged. "Don't worry about her. Lots of things have been happening lately. Everyone is a bit irritated at this time of day. We are trying to get housing for all of the dragons, but first we have to split the whole place into teams." Spyro sighed. He shook his head.
"Well, let's not worry about that for right now. We have to get you back to the medical wing, c'mon." Spyro walked on ahead while Kenta watched the white dragoness walk down the stairs and disappear out of sight. Kenta shook his head and ran to catch up with Spyro. They sneaked back into Kenta's room.
"And where have you two been?" A baritone voice yelled from behind them. The two turned around to find Terrador towering above them.
"Spyro I thought I told you-" Kenta stood in front of Spyro. "It wasn't his fault. I snuck out and Spyro went looking for me. Now leave him alone."
Terrador sighed. "Well fine then. I guess your wounds have healed. You also had the right to look around seeing as how you will be living here. On the other hand, you made me late for a meeting. We must go down to the launch room immediately. Everyone else will be waiting for us." Terrador left without another word. Spyro, Cynder, and Kenta followed.
"Thanks Kenta. If it weren't for you I'd probably be washing dishes for the next month." Spyro said. Kenta just chuckled.
"Come along young dragons. We must hurry to the lunchroom. There we will give you your teams and rooms. The school year will be beginning soon." Kenta started to feel dizzy. He looked back to his wounds. They had reopened.
'At least the spell lasted for a little while.' Kenta thought to himself.
"So Kenta how bout telling us your story?…. Kenta?" Spyro turned to see Kenta's wounds had suddenly returned. Kenta fell over unconscious. Spyro and Cynder rushed over to him.
"Kenta! Kenta are you alright?" Spyro said. He shook Kenta trying to get him out of the daze.
"Hmm… let's put him back in his bed to rest. We need to hurry though we must head to the meeting as soon as possible." Terrador said. So Spyro, Cynder and Terrador laid Kenta in his bed.
"How did he just go from being perfectly fine to cut up and bruised?" Cynder asked.
"It doesn't matter, for right now we have to get to the meeting follow me you two." Terrador ordered. They left Kenta lying on the bed seeming lifeless. After they headed down the stairs Kenta's eyes suddenly opened. They were once again blood red as the night before. He jumped out of bed his cuts gone once more and headed out the door.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the city, an unseen battle was being held. The black fox sprinted through the woods, followed by the pursuing enemies.
He stopped on the limb of a tree as he reached a clearing in the woods. His ears twitched and he looked back suddenly. He back flipped off the limb as a sphere of energy destroyed the tree-lining.
Regaining his footing, he got into a fighting stance. The black creatures emerged from the explosion, their eyes dark red and their mouths open, hungry for blood. The pack leader screeched as the pack charged at the fox.
The first creature tried to impale the fox, but the fox quickly side stepped. He grabbed the end of the creatures scythe and smashed his palm through the center, shattering it into pieces. Meanwhile, using his right leg, he tripped the creature, using his left knee to smash its head in.
The fiend was sent flying into the air as the next wave rushed in with two more of the beasts. He did the same and caught the first ones scythe, but this time he ripped the creature's whole arm off. He then threw the scythe at the next monster impaling it to a tree.
The creature with only one scythe tried attacking again. The fox raised a hand to its face and a field of red flared from his hand. The brute screamed in pain as it expanded and soon exploded into red sparks. He stood with his hands at his sides.
"Hmph… this all you got? C'mon, fight me with everything you have!" The fox yelled. The creatures chieftain charged with everyone of his units. The chieftain had claws for hands instead of scythes. The captain's elbow was shaped in a long sickle. The creature that was earlier hit in the air fell in front of the fox. He ripped off its scythe and used it like a sword.
He charged in running full speed at the creatures. The chieftain tried to clothes-line the fox with its elbow blade, but the fox just slid under it and slashed through his other units behind him. He killed half of the units in a few strikes, leaving the other half stunned at how fast he moved.
"If I were you, I'd run away now. That is, if you know what's good for you." he said looking over his shoulder. The chieftain ordered the others to fall back in a strange unknown language.
"So, warrior, it's just you and me now. RAAHH. I will have my revenge for my fallen brethren." The chieftain seemed to disappear from view.
'Huh!… A flash step!' The fox thought. The chieftain appeared behind him.
"YOUR MINE!" He screamed as he was about to eliminate the fox. Suddenly time seemed to slow.
"I'm guessing you don't understand who your up against. The fox said as he turned around facing the creatures claws. He held out his hand in front of the chieftains face.
"You should have run away when you had the chance. Now you will die here." The chieftain seemed nervous and infuriated.
"DAMN YOU DEMON!" He screamed. A flash of light came from the foxes hand and a large red beam sprung forth. The fox stood in triumph.
"This was just the beginning. Something much worse is going to happen. The creatures are getting stronger. I'm not sure how long I will be able to maintain this form without Kenta." He looked towards the sky. "You better be ready, young dragon. These creatures are starting to learn new tactics. They are getting faster. Soon I don't think I'll be able to keep up."
Meanwhile, back at the city, Kenta quickly snuck back into his room just in time as Spyro, Cynder, and a group of others walked up the stairs. Kenta's eyes reverted back to yellow and his wounds opened up again. He sat up on his bed, pretending he was just getting up. The group of dragons walked in.
"Ah, good you're awake. Feeling better?" Spyro asked. Kenta rubbed his eyes and looked at the other dragons.
"Who are they?" Kenta asked, looking at the new faces in the room, particularly the dragoness he had run into earlier.
"This is the group we have been assigned. I hope you don't mind if they came to visit."
Kenta shook his head. "No, it's quite alright." He said. The white dragoness walked up to Kenta.
"Umm…Hi…sorry about earlier…I guess I was in kind of a rush. My name's Snow." She said apologetically. Kenta simply smiled.
"Apology accepted." He said. Snow smiled and stepped aside as a black dragon came forth. His underbelly was grayish and his wing skeleton was a blood red while his wings were lighter red. His eyes were red and full of determination. He also carried a sword and sheath.
"Sup Kenta. Name's Blade. It's a pleasure to meet you. Hope you get better. I heard you were hurt pretty bad out there." He said.
Kenta nodded. "Yes, I was, but that story will be for another time. Let's not worry about that for right now, ok?" Spyro nodded. Two other dragons walked up and introduced them selves. A white dragoness walked up. Her eyes were a beautiful sky blue. Her wings seemed odd for a dragon, but none the less they were beautiful at that. Her wings seemed to be angel wings. Her horns resembled Cynder's with their Ivory horns. The tip of her tail blade was again odd but quite dazzling. It was shaped in a halo and floated just above the tip of her tail.
"Hi my name's Dawn." she said. Her voice sounded somewhat British. The dragon standing next to her was a dark brown. His underbelly and his horns were somewhat of a sandy color. He was a little taller then most of the dragons in the room. Kenta suspected his age was toward sixteen. One year older then the rest of the dragon's in the room.
"Hi… umm my name's Tremor. Glad to finally meet you Kenta." Kenta cocked an eyebrow. Tremor seemed afraid of something, but Kenta paid it no mind, and looked to the last dragon in the very back. He frowned.
"So I see you're still alive huh? Can't believe you got out of there alive." The dark green dragon looked up at him.
"Hey Kenta… long time no see, I guess." He remained unhappy at the sight of Kenta.
"So, Drake did anyone else make it out?" Kenta asked. Drake looked to the floor and shook his head.
"Sadly no one else made it out alive. I was only lucky enough to find a shuttle." Kenta's eyes went blank.
"And what of Kallen?" He asked frightened at the thought. He looked back up to Kenta.
"I'm not sure exactly what happened to her. She might have made it out, but I don't really know." Drake said. A single tear rolled down Kenta's face.
"Well, it's good to see you again, Drake." He smiled.
"It's good to see you too, bro." Drake smiled. Spyro, still confused by the conversation, decided to break the awkward moment.
"Ahem! Well, now that we all got to know each other, let's all head down to the lunch room. I'm starving." He said rubbing his stomach.
"Pft… Spyro you're always hungry. Can't you think of anything else besides food?" Cynder said irritated at his habits. Spyro simply smiled nervously and scratched the back of his head. The others laughed at the young couple.
"Oh, and Kenta, there was another member in our group, but he said he wanted to stay and eat. His name's Steel." Kenta nodded.
"Well c'mon guys let's go." Blade said and walked towards the door. Kenta jumped off the bed wincing at the sudden pain as he landed. However, he quickly got used to it, and walked with the others. When they reached the cafeteria the rest of the dragons were having their fun talking and laughing. No one even noticed Kenta walked into the room.
Kenta ducked as a random paper airplane flew over his head. He chuckled and got in line for some food. After he got his food he sat down with his new found friends. Suddenly there was a loud crash. Kenta turned to see Tremor and a blue dragon.
"YOU IDIOT!" The dark blue dragon screamed at Tremor. The Blue dragon was covered in food, and Tremor was backing up with an apologetic look on his face.
"I am so sorry. Your tray was falling and I tried to catch it, it was just a reflex."
The blue dragon shot him a glare. "What kind of moron would try to catch it with the end of their tail?"
"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking…I-"
The blue dragon cut him off. "You and me, right now, let's go." He yelled as he got up and crouched down in a fighting stance.
Tremor backed off a bit. "Please, can we not do this? You're going to get hurt?"
"WHAT!" The blue dragon screamed.
"I'm better than you, you're gonna get hurt." Tremor tried to explain. Spyro cocked an eyebrow. The way he said that, it wasn't cockiness or arrogance. It was more like he was genuinely concerned for his attacker.
Spyro turned to Cynder "Think we should help out?" he asked.
Cynder shook her head. "If it gets too violent sure, but otherwise lets just let them work it out."
The blue dragon lowered his head and backed up, ready to charge. As his attacker burst forward, Tremor gave an inward sigh and shot out his earth breath, sending the blue dragon somersaulting back into one of the tables.
Spyros eyes widened. Tremor's earth breath just seemed so effortless and yet it had a huge amount of energy. "Wow, I'd hate to see what he does when he actually charges an attack." Spyro said. Kenta watched from the sidelines his face was blank. He didn't like watching fights like this. He was about to use a power when Spyro jumped in.
"Stop this right now!" He told him. The blue dragon gave him a look of disbelief.
"You're actually protecting this idiot!" He said. Cynder stepped forward and joined Spyro. "Do you even know what the definition of an idiot is?"
The blue dragon remained silent and Cynder continued answering her own question. "It's someone who tries the same thing over and over again expecting a different result." She said with a glare.
A few of the bystanders chuckled at this, and the blue dragon finally realized what she was getting at.
He looked between Spyro and Cynder a few times. "Tch…whatever."
He turned and walked out of the cafeteria.
"What a jerk." Spyro commented to no one in particular.
"Thanks for the help." Tremor said as he approached the two.
"I don't really think you needed it." Cynder commented. But he just shook his head. "No, he would have gotten hurt a lot more if he kept fighting, and he wasn't listening to me."
Spyro blinked, not believing what he was hearing. "That guy just attacked you for no reason…and you're worried about him?"
"Yes, I am, but he didn't attack without a reason." He tried to explain. "I don't think things through very well sometimes, and stuff like this happens to me all the time." He said
"uh…right…well. Glad I could help." Spyro said, still a bit confused.
Tremor smiled and nodded to the both of them. "Well, I think I better lay low for a while…you know, before I screw something else up. I guess I'll see you later."
Without another word, Tremor turned around and walked off.
"Well that was…odd." Cynder commented.
"Since when are things ever normal around here?" Spyro retorted.
Cynder shrugged. "Point taken." Cynder and Spyro sat down at Kenta's table. A dragon looking similar to Cynder sat down with them.
"Sup Spyro, Cynder. How's it going?" The dragon said.
"Oh hey Steel. Nothing much unless you saw the episode over there." Spyro rolled his eyes in annoyance. Steel simply laughed.
Steel looked over to Kenta. "So you're the one I've heard about. I heard you were in the hospital? Umm… what's your name again?"
Kenta looked over to Steel. "Name's Kenta. Pleasure to meet you Steel." Steel nodded in respect. Cynder noticed Kenta hadn't even touched his food.
"Kenta? Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten anything for a while." Kenta just simply poked his food with his claw.
"I don't feel hungry at the moment." He looked out the giant windows of the lunch room. The sun was slowly setting. It barely touched the mountain peak. "I do feel a little tired though. Does anyone know where our rooms are?" Kenta asked.
"Ya, about that. Most of us got separate rooms but we were not expecting another dragon to be here. We never made arrangements for your housing yet. You'll have to share a room with Snow for now if that's alright with you?" Spyro explained. Kenta simply nodded and started walking towards the door. He emptied out his tray and set it with the rest of them.
Steel looked puzzled. "Is he ok? I've never seen a dragon not want to eat after being in the hospital for a few days." Everyone at the table shrugged.
"He's a strange one that's all I can tell." Blade said as he walked up to the group. "He'll come around sooner or later. Let's just give him time to get things figured out." Everyone nodded and continued eating their food.
Kenta slowly roamed through the temple. He thought back to the night of the attacks on his world.
Everyone was running from the strange black creatures. They slaughtered all of his people. The flash backs started to become reality around him.
He suddenly found himself back on his world running through the city.
Kenta breathed heavily. "C'mon Kallen! We have to leave now!"
"Brother, wait, we have to go back for the files!" Kenta stopped and looked back to Kallen.
"What files? Why do we need to go back for them?" Kallen looked into her brothers eyes. They were full of fear and confusion.
"Listen brother there is many things you don't know yet. The files include the memories of every living being in the universe. I need to get them they are the answers you'll need to fight off the creatures you might encounter. Brother you're job as the chronicler is one that many people fear." Kenta was stunned at all the secret information.
"But…but why did they choose me for the job?" Kenta asked.
"They gave you the job because you were the smartest one of us to ever be born. You learned stuff faster then any of us could. Your job is to chronicle the files and keep the Coralian spirit alive." Kallen let go of his hand.
"You must go I have to get the files." Kenta looked at her in disbelieve.
"No, I'm not just going to leave you here on this dying planet. It's too dangerous." Kallen smiled.
"Kenta you must go, don't worry. I'll find my way back to you." Kenta watched as his only sister ran off. The vision faded. Kenta reopened his eyes to find that it was almost night. He hurried down the stairs to find all the dragons moving into their new housing.
"Hey Kenta!" Kenta looked over the crowd of dragons to see Spyro waving his paw. Kenta walked over to see him and the rest of the group all moving in.
"So Kenta, where'd you wander off to?" Cynder asked.
"Sorry," he apologized, "I just needed time to think is all."
"Well, goodnight and all." Spyro said. Spyro walked into his room fallowed by Cynder. Kenta looked around and spotted Snow as she carried a bag into his and her room.
Kenta walked over. "Hi Snow, need any help?" Kenta asked politely.
"Oh, Hey Kenta. No it's ok I got it." She said. "Go right on in." He walked into the room. It was a fairly large room big enough for two, but he only saw one bed.
"Ya umm… there's only one bed so… if you don't want to sleep on the floor then your welcome to sleep on the bed with me. I warn you though don't get any funny ideas." She said with a scowl.
"I wouldn't think about it." Kenta thought. When everyone was finally done moving into their homes, the temple was filled with peaceful quiet sleeping except for the few that snored. Kenta was under the covers facing the wall while Snow was on the other side soundly asleep. Kenta quietly got up and walked to the window. Strangely enough all the windows had balconies. He walked onto the balcony and looked at the sight of the city.
"Welcome home Kenta." He whispered to himself.
Snow opened her eyes to see him on the balcony. She was concerned about the dragon, but instead of asking him what was on his mind. She simply went back to sleep.
Meanwhile the Fox stood on the mountain top on the outskirts of town. Ever so watching over the city in the silent's of the night.
