Me: Hey, guys. Here's the third chapter to the Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night Retold. I had a strange dream last week.
Spyro: Really? What happened?
Me: I was a character in the TV show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. My cutie mark was metro game versions of Mario and Sonic.
Cynder: Interesting. What happened then?
Me: I passed out and was in a strange dream state, and when I woke up, a bunch of video game characters were in front of me, telling me to wake up. Some whistled, one said "hellooooo?" in a deep voice and one shouted "WAKE UP!" It was weird. So here's the third chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
So Spyro, Nelly and Sparx went to the swamp to find the tree in Spyro and Nelly's dreams. When the trio got there, Sparx was spooked about the place.
"Oh yes, lovely. He always sends us to the nicest places," Sparx said, sarcastically.
"Come on, Sparx, it's not that bad," Spyro said.
"Well sure, if you ignore all the evil beasts and visions of doom and eternal darkness, which sounds lovely by the way," Sparx said. "Oh, and the fact that we now get to frolic through the magical creepy forest in search of a stupid tree! What's not to love?"
'Ugh...he's talking like a brony,' Nelly thought.
"You're psyched. Let's go," Spyro said. So the trio walked around the forest, but after so much walking, Spyro realized the team was lost. Then Sparx started eating butterflies. Spyro told him to stop, but Sparx didn't listen and began burping, making Nelly laugh because when she was little, she and Jerry would do burping contests to see who gets to play the game first and she always won. Then the trio heard voices up ahead. It was a bunch of pirates, which was weird because Ignitus said the forest was uninhabited. So Spyro and Nelly were about to turn around but the both passed out.
"All those in favor of turning back?" Sparx asked, raising his hand but saw that Spyro and Nelly were out like a light.
"Aye! It came from over there," one of the pirates said. "Go see where it be."
"Oh...not now!" Sparx said, trying to hold back a burp. But to no avail, he burped and caught the attention of the pirates, so he distracted them to prevent Spyro and Nelly from getting captured. Then Sparx flew away and screamed "MOMMY!"
In Spyro and Nelly's dream, it was cold. Then the two reached to where Spyro would get his powers back.
"Chronicler? Are you there?" Spyro asked.
"We've done what you asked of us," Nelly said. "But we're afraid we're lost."
"As long as the spirits of the ancestors are with you, you are never lost," the Chronicler said. "Calm yourself, Spyro, and cool your thoughts." So Spyro went on the podium and Nelly played the "Serenade of Water", since ice is frozen water. After getting that power back, Spyro used his ice fury to defeat the training dummies. Finally the duo reached the end.
"Okay, now what? What is it you want us to do?" Spyro asked. "I think we're entitled to know what's happening."
"You already know what is happening...of the great evil that is awakening," the Chronicler said. "But there is more that you two must understand." Then another vision came into focus: it was the mountain Nelly saw in her dream from last night. The Chronicler said the mountain was called the Mountain of Malefor, an asylum to the wandering phantoms and lost spirits of those who had turned to darkness. But to the spirits themselves and the black hearted, it goes by another name: The Well of Souls.
Back in the real world, Spyro and Nelly woke up and found themselves in a different part of the forest but Sparx wasn't with them. Then Sparx flew to them full speed.
"Spyro! Nelly! I'm outta shape," Sparx said as a bunch of pirates appeared.
"What have we here? Ar, first catch of the day," one of the pirates said.
'Man, Captain Jack Sparrow was handsome, but this guy is an ugly beast version of him,' Nelly thought. So Spyro and Nelly fought the pirates until the trio couldn't see any more. Finally the team reached the tree, which left Spyro and Nelly confused, but Sparx was just thinking it was weird.
"Is that your dumb tree?" Sparx asked. "It's beautiful. Can we go now?"
"This feels like the right place but...we're not sure what we're supposed to do here," Spyro said.
"Wonderful. I'm going to wait over there...you know, give you a few minutes," Sparx said. "Maybe there was a lily pad you forgot to sing on...or a rainbow you can talk to..."
'More brony talk, what next?" Nelly thought, annoyed. 'I support bronies, but as a tomboy, I would never watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I love to sing and I love rainbows, but there's no time for that.' So Spyro and Nelly went to get a better look at the tree. But then the tree turned into a monster! So Spyro and Nelly fought the monster with both Spyro's powers and Nelly's arrows and ocarina. After the battle, Sparx teased Spyro and Nelly for killing the monster. Then Spyro thought the tree monster was the Chronicler. Then the trio heard voices and turned around. It was two birds on a pirate captain. Nelly recognized them. It was Scratch, Sniff and Skabb.
"Alas...the purple dragon and his human friend who have been wandering lost in the Ancient Grove," said Scratch. "You two have been nuisances to us."
Argh! Argh!" Skabb grunted.
"Whoa! What's with the gurgling nitwit?" Sparx asked.
"If I were you, I'd shut my mouth," Sniff said. "I ain't going to say it again!"
"Sparx, maybe you should stay out of this one," Nelly said.
"Yes, mind yourself," Scratch said. "To answer your earlier question...No! That isn't the Chronicler, whoever that is...that was Arborick and he was going to be the main attraction in our tournament...and now it's ruined."
"Gosh, we really feel bad about that," Nelly said.
"Oh really, no need for remorse...you two will do just fine," Scratch said.
"What does he mean by that?" Sparx asked, confused. Then Skabb knocked Spyro, Nelly and Sparx unconscious and took them into their ship, which was also a battle arena. While at the prison cell, Sparx was singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot". It annoyed Nelly because in the Eternal Night, Sparx was voiced by Billy West, who was both an actor and a singer, but Sparx had a terrible off-key voice. Then she saw a cut on her arm, which meant the pirates also attacked that while she was unconscious. She looked around her gym bag and found her ocarina, meaning the scavengers never took it. So she played the "Song of Healing" while Sparx was imitating a harmonica.
"Sparx, must you do that?" Spyro asked.
"Well, maybe I do must I do that! And you know, it might be just crazy enough to work," Sparx said and continued to sing. "Come on, Spyro and Nelly. Put that sorrow behind you and clap your hands with me. Let the joy come pouring down, rain on me and you. Hmph hmph hmph. Can't you feel it? Hmph. Can't you just feel the love in the room tonight? Hmph." Nelly was so annoyed she was about to turn on her music player to play her favorite Disney songs, when she spotted someone familiar outside the cell.
"Mole-Yair?!" Spyro and Nelly replied.
"Spyro? Nelly? Is that really you, old friends?" Mole-Yair asked.
"It's us. Where are we?" Nelly asked. "Can you get us out?"
"You are on Skabb's ship, and will likely be made to compete in the arena fights, like the other prisoners," Mole-Yair said. "I, too, am prisoner here, as are many of my kinsmen. But we moles are too frail to make for worthwhile entertainment, so we are made to serve grog to those scavengers."
"Mole-Yair, you have to get us out," Spyro said.
"Shhh! We'll talk later. Someone is coming," Mole-Yair whispered. So he walked away from the cell. The person Mole-Yair said was coming was Skabb, Scratch and Sniff. Scratch asked if the living quarters are to their liking, but Sparx didn't think so, having to roommates who are cocky. Sniff told Sparx to be quiet and that Spyro and Nelly's first fight was about to start. So some guards opened the cell door to let the trio head into the arena and begin their first battle. Scratch announced the fight.
"Fiends and felons! Scoundrels and swindlers!" Scratch announced. "Welcome...to the first event of the evening! Tonight, we bring you a very special battle, sure to quench your thirst for brutality!"
"Enough of this jibba jabba! Let's bring on the pain!" Sniff yelled.
"Introducing, two creatures both rare and powerful...two creatures of might and magic!" Scratch said. "Prepare yourselves...and feast your eyes...on Spyro...the DRAGON! And his buddy...Nelly the human!"
"Wow, if we weren't about to die, I'd say this is pretty neat," Sparx said.
"Oh, he's no dragon! Just a whelpling!" someone in the crowd yelled. "And that human is a wimp!"
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Spyro said.
"Ah, that's the butterflies in your stomach," Sparx said. "Trust me, I know."
"And their opponent...you've seen them before, and loved them!" Scratch said. "We offer you, none other than the twins of terror themselves, the Blundertails!" So Spyro and Nelly fought the Blundertails with arrows, ice and fire. After the battle, Sparx tried to get the crowd to do the wave. But as Scratch congratulated the duo, they both passed out! So Sparx tried to entertain the crowd with "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", but even the crowd thought he had a off-key voice.
Me: That's it for this chapter. I thought of a weird idea for the next story. Nelly tried to get over the fact that she left Spyro and Cynder alone as the Well of Souls was collapsing.
Spyro: So she wanted to find something that could get her to stop thinking about it?
Me: Yes, exactly.
Cynder: What did she do to get it out of her mind?
Me: Well, she started reading interesting CreepyPastas like Squiward's Suicide, , Jeff the Killer and . She loved all but because it left her even more worried. And the cause was the constant screaming and creepy piano banging music, making Nelly dream about the Well of Souls collapsing and hearing Spyro, Cynder and Sparx screaming. Then when Nelly was saving the residents from the burning houses in the Dragon City, she heard the screaming from Suicide Mouse and it left her so freaked out, so she was hesitant to move on with Spyro, Cynder, Sparx and Marco. But I won't reveal any more, that's creating a REALLY big spoiler alert. Don't forget to review.
