Spyro walked through the forest, eager to see why that ship was away from the others. As he got the near the ship, he saw smoke rising from it. As he ran over to it, he was completely fascinated by it, even though it was ruined. As he went inside, he was met by broken containers with blue liquid coming out of it.
"What is this...?" Spyro wondered as he walked over to it. As he got to the edge of it, he was pushed into it. Searing pain wracked through his body as he yelled in agony. His eyes turned blue and vein-like tendrils of the liquid appeared on his body, and his scales turned a light blue color as his wings and horns turned black. After five minutes of pure agony, the pain subsided and Spyro got up.
"What...the hell…happened?" He asked himself tiredly. He didn't expect anyone to answer him, but he was surprised.
"You fell in a pool of Phazon, your lucky that it didn't kill you." Spyro turned to see a black dragon about his age with amber eyes and red wings. Every time he breathed lines of red appeared on his body, but what surprised Spyro the mostly was his weapon. He had a large, jagged sword that had eyes on the handle and a skull on the end of the handle, with another eye dangling from a chain.
"Who are you?" Spyro asked. The black dragon smiled before answering.
"I have many names, but I am mostly called Chaos for some reason. I guess it was when I fell into phazon last year and this happened they started calling me this." He said.
"Why are you here?" Spyro asked him again
"I don't know, I just remember waking up an hour ago and I wandered over here." Chaos said as he went to leave. "On my way here I saw two dragons knocked out. They were both females and their scales were black and pink. Just giving you the heads up, I would save them but I lack the skills."
Spyro felt his blood run cold for some reason when he heard him say that. He ran outside and ran after Chaos.
"Hey, where did you find the two dragons? I know a place we can take them." Spyro called after him. Chaos turned and motioned him to follow. Spyro followed him down a path that he somehow missed when he felt an urge to ask him a few questions.
"Chaos, what exactly is Phazon." He asked.
"Phazon is a radioactive element that, if come in contact with, usually kills or mutates the thing. We're lucky that it only changed what we looked like and get us a type of superpower. If channeled properly, you can unleash blasts of it at your enemy. However, if you use to much you will die from the abuse of power." Chaos explained gravely.
"What do you mean by mutates?" Spyro asked again.
"It changes genetic makeup and mostly changes how we act and the way we look. But, as the mutation takes place, you become corrupted by it. I don't know all the details on Phazon but if you now step in liquid versions, it will recharge you."
"I see….what will people who know me think once they see me now?"
"They'll accept what you are now or you'll become an outcast like me." Chaos stated sadly. Spyro wondered how Cynder will react to this. Ornlu will probably make fun of him and the others would ask how it happened. Cynder…please accept who I am now… he thought as they walked into a clearing and Spyro gasped. On the ground Cynder and Ember laid on the ground, unconscious. Spyro ran over to Cynder and shook her in an attempt to awake her. When she didn't move, Spyro began to do CPR.
"I wonder what did these to them…." Chaos wondered as he went to check on Ember. A large hole on the right side of her chest and left leg was present and blood was slowly coming out of it. They both heard a faint click and they turned to see a orange suit of armor and a red dragon standing about 10 feet away from them.
"Who are you, and what have you done to them." The red dragon asked angrily.
"We just got here and we found them like this. Now if you don't mind we're attempting to save them. Unless you have some healing powers, help us get them safe." Chaos said as he picked up Ember.
"Wait, is that you Ornlu?" the red dragon asked as Chaos looked at him questionably.
"Who the hell is Ornlu?" Chaos asked as Spyro picked up Cynder.
"Never mind, we need to get them safe. Follow us." The red dragon said as a jade dragon emerged from the woods. The jade dragon looked completely miserable and sad.
"Larka, what happened to you?" the red dragon asked as he ran over to her.
"He's gone Flame….." she replied.
"Who's gone?"
"ORNLU YOU IDIOT! HE'S DEAD!" Larka yelled as she started crying. Flame looked completely startled and the suit of armor even looked surprised.
"Who the hell is this "Ornlu" person? It rings a bell somewhere…" Chaos whispered to Spyro.
"He's a major idiot who likes to stick his neck into everything. He saved my step-fathers life though…" Spyro replied.
"Can we speed this up a little? I know you're all sad about this Ornlu person, but if we don't hurry we're going to lose two more people." Chaos stated as he began walking off in a random direction.
"Right, we can pay our respects to him later but now we have an emergency." The armor said as it motioned them to follow it.

"What the hell are you putting on me?!"
After Samus and Flame had left, Adam was taken into a hospital room and the professor was putting medicine on his arm, which caused it to burn.
"For the hundredth time, this will make you better." The Professor repeated for the hundredth time.
"Yeah? Well my arm feels like it's been put in a lake of lava!"
"It takes time! Medicine doesn't work instantly you idiot!"
"Where I come from, it does!"
"Do you not want for your arm to be fixed?!"
"No…"
"Then shut up!" Adam began to protest as a middle aged brown dragon with a cane walked by the room.
"YOU shut up. He's a doctor; he knows what he's doing." He said as he walked in and whacked him on the other arm with his cane. Adam clutched his other arm and glared at the dragon. "Makes your other arm feel better doesn't it? The brain focuses on the most pain you are in and cancels out the other pain. You should be thanking me."
"Thank you Dr. House. By the way, how's Ignitus doing?" The Professor asked.
"Don't know, not my patient." House said as he limped out of the room. "By the way, Flames back with a walking tin can."
"Tin can?" Adam repeated questionably.
"Well, I guess we'll find out what Ornlu wanted." The Professor mumbled as he walked out of the room, Adam behind him. After about a minute of walking, they found Flame and "tin can" in the entrance to the lab. As they approached them, they say Flame with a sad expression on his face.
"Flame, why the long face?" the Professor asked him.
"Ornlu…he's dead. I never got to repay him for saving my father…" Flame somberly said.
"HE'S WHAT?!" The Professor yelled in sheer disbelief.
"ARE YOU THAT SLOW PROFESSOR? HE WAS KILLED BY SOME RIDLEY PERSON!" Larka, who was in the corner, yelled at him. Everyone in the area looked at her because they'd never seen her explode like this.
"Wait; did you just say Ridley, the leader of the Space Pirates?" Samus asked Larka.
"Yes, do know where he is so I can kill him for taking Ornlu away from me?" Larka responded, barely restraining from yelling at her.
"You can't kill him, he's to strong, even for me! And I've defeated him multiple times already!" Samus shot back.
"Before you both kill each other, shouldn't we worry more about getting these two help? Unless you enjoy watching people die when you can do something about it…" a black dragon asked them as Ember, who he was carrying in his arms, began to twitch slightly.
"SHUT UP!" they both yelled at him.
"He's right, we should get Cynder and Ember help now." A blue dragon, who was carrying cynder on his back, stated.
"Flame, who are these two and how do they know their names?" the Professor asked Flame as he led them into the hospital ward.
"Don't know, but I'll ask them." He whispered back.
"Hey you two, who exactly are you?" Flame asked.
"I'm known from where I come from as Chaos after falling into a pool of Phazon, and the blue dragon is none other than the Wonder boy Spyro, who also fell into a pool of Phazon." The black dragon said as Samus pointed her canon at him.
"Where did you find the Phazon and how do you know of it? And I thought Spyro was purple…" Samus said.
"I can't remember…" Chaos replied as Samus put her canon to his head.
"Don't play games with me; I'm not in the mood." She stated coldly.
"Look, I'd love to play games but I'm trying to save someone's life. Please leave a message." Chaos replied as Adam tried not to laugh. For the years he'd known Samus, she'd never been so evenly matched with temper. This is going to be very interesting… Adam thought. Unfortunately for him, Samus saw him laugh a bit and proceeded to chase him down the hall. As soon as they left, both Chaos and Spyro burst out laughing, earning a smile from Larka.
Chaos reminds me so much of Ornlu for some reason. She thought sadly. She missed him so much, even though he'd been dead for less than three hours. Larka wished that she'd told him how she felt sooner. The memory of first meeting him entered her thoughts.
FLASHBACK: 7 years ago
A young Larka and Ember ran through a deserted town on a research program with Hunter and the Professor.
"Larka, I heard there's a haunted house around here." Ember told Larka.
"Really? The professor told us there was no such thing!" Larka replied.
"I heard it was the same one Xavis lived in, and you can hear footsteps if you go in."
"Let's go find out!" The two than ran off into the middle of town. They came across a large house in the center and walked inside. After a few minutes of exploring they heard rapid footsteps approaching their location.
"What was that?" Ember asked Larka, who looked as terrified as her.
"I don't know." she replied as they both felt cold metal on their neck.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" a young voice about their age asked. They glanced over their shoulder to see a young white dragon holding two swords against their neck .He had a bandage wrapped around his right arm to his elbow and around his eyes.
"m-my name i-is Larka a-and her n-name is Ember." Larka stuttered out of pure fear. The other dragon pulled his sword away and looked confused.
"Your voices, they sound my age…" he said.
"We're 7 years old, can't you take off that bandage around your eyes and see that yourself?" Ember asked.
"It won't do any good…I'm blind." He said, "Unless you have a mad scientist, I'm like this forever. By the way my name is Ornlu."
"Your blind?!" they both repeated, dumbfounded.
"Is that a problem?" he asked them.
"No, it's that we know someone that might be able to help." Larka answered.
"Really!? Can you take me to him?" Ornlu asked brightly. They both nodded and Larka grabbed him by the hand and led him towards the Professor.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Larka, are you ok?" a voice called, snapping her out of the flashback. The opened her eyes to see the Professor looking worried at her.
"Yeah I'm fine…." She replied.
"You're thinking about him, aren't you?" the Professor asked, startling her.
"How did you…?" She began to ask as he began to chuckle slightly.
"Every time you look at him or think about him, you kind of space out."
I just wish I told him sooner…" Larka said as she started to cry again. The Professor walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"He wouldn't want you to see you acting like this. If he did, he would probably cry as well. Right now he's probably in a better place." He said softly.
"What do you mean?" she asked him.
"He was tortured Larka. When Xavis corrupted him, he was always in agony, though he never showed it. He probably wouldn't have lasted for than a few years more. Also he told me to give you this when he passed away." The Professor said as he handed her a letter. "Open it in the morning; it's after midnight believe it or not."
Larka took the letter and walked to her room and fell on her bed. As soon as she hit it, she realized how tired she was and fell asleep almost instantly.
Is it me or are these chapters getting shorter? Anyway, my snake is breaking my fingers and my dad is yelling at me. Next chap will be more serious than this one, and incase you've been wondering, I'm trying not to make the chars mary-sueish but I have no idea how to avoid it after looking it up, so if you can try and give me some pointers, it will be wonderful. Also I added a House reference incase you were wondering that as well.
Rurik, master rambler
