episode 4- Spark of Sparx

"Now stop!" one ape ordered, the beasts were practicing their limited amounts of magic in hopes to destroy their enemies, the dragons. They had found them selves with some magic a short time after Malefore was defeated.
"Now that's it, and a little bit of that, and now we can bring him back." At that time, the lead ape, Guavor, was preparing to summon back his brother, the ape king Gual. The apes finished the spell and standing before them was Gual himself.
"Welcome back brother," Guavor stated and bowed respectively to his older brother, "I hope that your return can bring us the oppprtunity to vanguish the dragons."
"Of course, Guavor, during my time of being dead, I have come up with a plan that once executed, will allow us to bring Spyro and Cynder down, and no one would be able to save them."

meanwhile, in the valley of Avalar,
"Hey, you two love dragons, why don't you look at this." Sparx was talking to Spyro and Cynder, whom were fussing over each other (which was a coping mechanism they came up with to hide their secret), Sparx pointed at a crystal-looking pool. Then the two dragons walked over and looked in it, but as they did that, a net shot out of the pool and trapped the heros, and Cynder then tried to use her powers to escape but found she could not. Out of no where, a large group of apes appeared around the trapped dragons with Gual in the center of a ring formation his troops made. At this time, Sparx, and his cowerdice hid behind some rocks, watching his friends get toted off by the apes.
"What ever am I going to do?" Sparx said to himself. Then he started to feel dizzy and hovered down onto the ground, falling asleep.

Spyro and Cynder woke up in a cage together, bound by chains attached to every limb of their bodies, they also tried to use any of the abilities but found that they would not work, which was the work of some collers on their necks.
"Well, well, well, I finally have you two in the palm of my hand." The two dragons turned around to the cell entrance and found Gual standing on the other side of the bars, the free side that is.
"What do you want, and even more so how have you returned here?" Spyro barked out his questions with undeniable anger.
Gual laughed an evil and twisted laugh "Well my loyal servents and clever brother have found a spell that brought me back, im sure it needed a few sacrifices, and now I have finally brought my vengeance into motion. As for you two, I need you out of the way so we can demolish your little city and become the dominant race in the world." With his evil villain speech finished, he walked away, leaving the heros with some guards.
"Gual has a brother?" It was the only thing Spyro could think of saying. Cynder shrugged her wings as best as she could with the chains to show she didn't know.

Sparx woke up with a groan and rose into the air. What is this place? Sparx looked around to find he was not in the valley, he was in a giant room (considering how small Sparx was) filled with books. Sparx then recalled what happened, Spyro and Cynder got kidnapped by Gual and his apes.
"Ah, so you've woken up Sparx, I've been waiting for you." said an unknown voice.
Sparx turned around to find the Chronicler and said "Wow, Spyro has told me a lot about you, but I didn't think we would meet."
The Chronicler chuckled and said "Yeah, i've been waiting to meet you, but its not such a great time. Im sure you remember what happened to your friends."
Sparx asked "What's going to happen to them?"
The Chronicler replied "that is uncertain, but the plans of the apes suggest bringing back the power of malefore for them selves. As for saving your friends, well they will need your help."
Sparx burst out "What! how can you expect me to save them?"
The chronicler sighed "well there is a way, but once its done, you wont be turn back. If you want to save your friends, you will have to promise me that you will be willing to do anything to save them."
Sparx thought about that for a moment, he didn't really like Cynder but he had to be able to save Spyro and since the two of them basicly came as a pair. "Alright, what do I have to do?"
"Well there is a way for you to fight back, but not as a dragonfly. I will use my magic to transform you into a dragon, then you will have to convince Flame and Ember to help you. Are you ready?"
Sparx took a deep breath and said "alright, lets do it."
And so the Chronicler unleashed a Spell to change Sparx's body. He felt his wings change and become stronger, his tail section become a thick dragon tail, he grew legs, and scales covered his new body.
"Now is the time to wake up and save the world Sparx, may the ancestors be with you."

Sparx woke up in the meadow and gave himself a look. His scales were golden and his wings were plain yellow, other that that, he looked like Spyro. Sparx took flight and headed for the temple in Warfang that the guardians were at. As he arrived, he got looks from many of the local dragons, who never saw a golden dragon before. Sparx walked into the temple on unsteady legs (since he never had legs before) and to the guardians.
"Well, you are a unique dragon, what's your name?" Ignitus asked.
"Its me, Sparx, the Chronicler turned me into a dragon because we have a problem." Sparx went on to tell them of how Spyro and Cynder got captured by the apes, and how he was tasked with saving them.
"Well that's an interesting story, but how can we trust you?" Cyril demanded.
"Well how about that you, Ignitus, met us in the swamps where we used to live, or how about you risked your life to get Spyro and Cynder across the belt of fire. Sparx said.
"How did you know that?" Ignitus gasped, "only a few people know about that time."
"Because, im Sparx, and Spyro told me a short time after they returned. Do you believe me now?" Sparx said.
"If you are telling the truth, then that means we need to send help immieditly." Terrador said in his usual manner, "However, I don't think you are capable of fighting and you most certainly cant go in alone."
"What about Ember and Flame, can they help?" Sparx asked.
"Well sure they can, that is if they agree to." Ignitus said, "Volteer, why don't you go find them?"
"I'll get right on it, Ignitus." Volteer flew out of the temple to search for the two fire dragons.
"Alright then, Sparx we need to see what kinds of abilities you now have, follow me to the training room.
The two walked into the room but Sparx stumbled.
"You need help Sparx?" Ignitus asked.
"I'll be fine, im just not used to having legs, that's all."
"Okay, then lets begin by seeing if you can breath fire, just feel the heat in your chest and releash it." Ignitus prompted
"You know I was there when you tought Spyro, so I know what to do." Sparx then unleashed a spurt of golden flames into the air.
"Wow, golden fire, you are diffinatly unique, lets see you burn the dummies." Ignitus said.
Sparx did just that and so he trained for a few hours, learning different techniques and mastering his new body.
After a while, Volteer arrived with Flame and Ember, and told him that they wanted to help.
Later, the trio prepared to rescue Spyro and Cynder before they left, Ignitus said a few words "Please be careful, and come back alive. May the ancestors be with you three as you rescue them, good luck."

Sparx, Flame, and Ember were flying at full speed to the ape's stronghold. Just then they spotted a couple of apes on patrol.
"Allow us to take care of this." Flame said.
Just then he and Ember dived down from the sky and set the guards on fire before they could sound any alarms.
"Wow, I never thought that you two were experienced fighters." Sparx said.
"Well, when you have to guard your home from evil creeps, you pick up a thing or two about fighting." Flame said proudly.
"So how are we going to get in?" Ember asked the two boys. "Its not like we can walk in the front door."
"That's easy, we'll blast down a wall." Sparx gestured to a wall to their left with a paw.

meanwhile,

Spyro and Cynder were talking about what the apes were going to do with them.
"What do you think Gual plans to do to take revenge on us?" Cynder asked.
"Well knowing how this went down before, its got to do with Malefore. I just hope Sparx is okay."
Just then, the wall to their right blasted open with a huge explosion of fire, destroying the bars and knocking out the guards.
"Did someone say my name?" Sparx walked in with Ember and Flame in tow.
"Sparx! Its so glad to see you but how did you become a dragon?" Spyro said.
"I never thought I would be glad to see you, but I am." Cynder said too.
"Well, i'll get to that later but first we need to get you free. Sparx said as he and the others unlocked the shackles with their claws.
"Come on, we need to stop Gual before he does something we all regret. Spyro said as he ran out of the remains of the cell with the others behind him.
The five dragons ran into a chamber where Gual and his troops were casting a spell. They were even more surprised as they saw a ghost-like form which looked like Malefore.
"Gual, stop right now!" Spyro shouted, realizing that he was about to bring back his nemesis.
"Shoot! How dare you interrupt the spell, you stupied dragon, now I cant take his power." Gual cursed, and at that time, the ghost figure of Malefore took shape and became the real thing.
"Byahahahaha!" Malefore laughed, "Thank you Spyro, I knew you would end up helping me after all."
Spyro was tooken back by the statement, but before he could say anything to the evil dragon, Malefore flew away, leaving an angry Gual with the dragons.
"Arrg! You fools, now you will all pay!" Gual yelled and ordered his troops to attack.
Flame and Ember blasted a ring of fire around the ape king and the trio of Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx, which kept the other apes from getting to surround the dragons.
"Now we can settle this once and for all." Spyro said, and unleashed a torrent of icicles at the ape king but he used his swords to block it. Cynder attempted to use her fear powers but to no avail.
"He knows all of our moves, how can we stop him?" Cynder asked.
"Allow me." Sparx bravely said and stepped in between Gual and his friends.
"Hhah, what do you think you can do that I cant stop?" Gual laughed.
Sparx blew out a massive blast of golden fire which caught the ape king off guards and sent him into the flames.
"So you can hurt me, so what." Gual grumbled and charged at Sparx, cutting a wing in the process. Sparx winced as the swords cut him but breathed out more flames, which did the trick and forced Gual back.
"You're good, i'll give you that." the ape gasped.
"I'm a quick learner." Sparx replied and unleashed another assault of flames and then charged full on as Gual prepared to dodge. The combo did the trick and knocked Gual out. As the fire died down they noticed all of the other apes unconsionous, thanks to Flame and Ember.
"Come on, lets get out of here, before someone wakes up." Spyro said.
