A Not-So-Different Beginning
Chapter7
A/N Hey guys sorry for the wait for this chapter but Halo 4 got me for a bit but hopefully I'll keep up my speed a bit now. Also thanks for Garrettfilmgem for not only editing my last chapter and all future chapters of this story but also for volunteering to make a picture of my character Kirk. Anyway here's the next chapter.
Chapter 7
Spyro woke up a bit sore from the training yesterday and stretched the best he could. When he was done he found Sparx was already awake because he had just flown in the window with a few fresh butterflies in his hands.
"Morning bro how was your sleep?" Sparx asked swallowing a butterfly. Spyro yawned "It was pretty good except my muscles are aching now" he stretched forward and his back cracked. Spyro sighed with relief as he left to get some breakfast.
He reached the caf and grabbed his normal breakfast and saw Nick and Kirk at a table alone, he didn't see Ember or Cynder anywhere so he sat with them and said "Hey guys what's up?" Kirk smiled and said "Nothing much but the sky" Spyro rolled his eyes and started eating not expecting Nick to say anything.
"So that fight yesterday was pretty awesome yesterday, I bet you were holding back a bit right?"Spyro looked over and said "Not really she was actually giving me a good workout; if we had fought any longer I think it could've gone both ways"
Nick looked over at him with a question glance and surprisingly said in a deep tone "Really?" Kirk and Spyro were a little surprised but Spyro said "Ya she really knows how to fight" Kirk nodded and said "Well that's not surprising actually, she was the best in class with me in second before you showed up"
"Ya I saw your fighting style, where did you learn that anyway?" Nick suddenly froze and was about to say something when Kirk sighed and said "My dad taught me, he made me learn melee combat first and only taught me my fire skills on rare occasions but… then our village was attacked and everyone I knew was…" he didn't finish and Spyro understood what he meant but asked "But how did you meet Nick then?"
Kirk looked up and said "I've always known about him but our family couldn't support the both of us so he lived in an orphanage, it was attacked around the same time my village was attacked. I had decided to go there when my home was destroyed but I found him half way there and he told me what happened there too, since then we travelled to Warfang and here we are"
Spyro asked "When exactly did this all happen?" Kirk thought over the time and said "About a few days before that giant purple light that brought the world back together, I'm guessing that was you?" Spyro nodded and said "I'm sorry…"
Kirk and Nick both gave him questioning looks and Spyro explained "I was frozen for three years when I could've been stopping Malefor" he bowed his head angry with himself and Kirk patted his back and said "It doesn't matter you saved us all in the end right?" Spyro felt a bit better and they all finished off their breakfast.
They walked to the dojo and this time Spyro saw that Cynder was on time today and called her over. She trotted over and Spyro said "You're on time today" she smiled and replied "Well our fight made me sore this morning so there was no chance I was falling back to sleep" Spyro chuckled and they continued to talk until Terrador started the lessons.
Spyro once again had Kirk to his left and Cynder to his right and Terrador began "Today will be a full training day and we won't have sparing today" Spyro was a little disappointed because he wasn't going to spar with Cynder but was ok with the training.
Once again he chose to go with Volteer so he could work on his fire and electricity skills so he could hang with Cynder. For most of the day Ember was on him like glue but he constantly shot her down sometimes with the help of Cynder.
This continued until lunch and they left to eat, on the way Kirk and Nick came up to Spyro and Cynder and Kirk said "I saw Ember was on you again" Spyro chuckled and nodded his head "Yup she was a bit more aggressive today" and Cynder agreed.
They ate fairly quickly this time and were the first back to the dojo, Terrador noticed and smiled to them. He allowed them to fight until everyone came back and Spyro teamed up with Cynder to vs Kirk and Nick.
They lined up not having much of a plan and they started without a bell. Spyro ran forward while Cynder blasted a cloud of Shadow towards the other guys, Nick was quick enough to get away but Kirk was hit by the fog.
Spyro dived in to where he was standing and rammed into him making him slide out of the cloud, Nick had run around the arena and tackled the unexpecting Cynder and they started to brawl. Kirk breathed fire in the cloud making it dissipate and was able to hit Spyro before he took off to escape.
Spyros tail was singed but he shrugged it off and dived towards Kirk, Kirk noticed and rolled out of the way and tried to grab him as he passed by but failed. After Nick had tackled Cynder she kept the momentum so they flipped over one too many times and Cynder ended on top with a smirked, she was about to finish him when he activated his shadow powers and phased out from under her. He appeared behind the confused Cynder and jumped on her back trying to go for the finish, she couldn't do a thing but buck around and avoid him as long as possible.
Spyro did another passed but shot several rocks at Kirk which he was able to avoid, Spyro continued to dive down and Kirk jumped up above Spyros path and slammed down as he came under him causing him to crash and slide across the floor. Kirk rode him down like a skate board, as they were sliding Spyro pushed his claws into the ground making them stop abruptly making Kirk fly off.
Cynder started to buck around trying her best to get Nick off, she didn't quite know how to use shadow invisibility so she wasn't going to escape like Nick did a few seconds ago. She kept moving her neck when he tried to put his jaw around her neck but was getting tired. Kirk had fallen face first and was dazed, Spyro noticed and nearly went for the finish but saw Cynder in trouble and suddenly thought "Do I get the easy win and finish Nick without Cynder or help Cynder and keep up the tag team?"
On the side lines Terrador had been watching and noticed the very quick stop from Spyro, he thought Spyro was going to make the win but saw how he stopped for his partner. He knew this was a question of winning or morality and in the heat of battle they can sometimes be forgotten and was intruiged by what he would do next.
Spyro put on a stern face as he made his choice and ran towards Nick and Cynder. Cynder was tired and was about to be put into submission when suddenly Spyro flew by and swept the weight off her back, she wasn't expecting him to rescue her and sighed with relief then noticed Kirk was still in the fight.
Spyro had caught Nick off guard so badly Spyro had him into submission without even trying; Nick shook his head trying to get his eyes to focus again when Spyro let go and friendly nodded to him. Spyro did the same and turned to find Cynder barely standing and Kirk back on his feet about to attack.
Suddenly Kirk did something unexpected and changed colour, he turned white then changed to yellow in a few seconds and ran unexpectedly fast towards Cynder who had no chance of dodging. Spyro ran as fast as he could using comet dash to gain even more speed and when Kirk was mere inches from Cynder Spyro slammed into his side and took him down and they started to brawl.
Spyro accidentally ended up on the bottom and Kirk smirked with his incredible luck, he was about to put his jaws around his neck but Spyro held his mouth back with his paws. Kirk still had the upper hand and slowly made his way to his neck until suddenly he felt teeth against his neck and looked to the left and saw two black legs. Kirk stopped and lifted his head to see Cynder and Spyro said going limp from exhaustion "Oh by the ancestor's thanks"
Cynder smiled and helped him up and Kirk said through breathes "Damn… I was… so close" Nick walked over and smiled saying he had a fun time and looked over as Terrador walked over. "Well it seems you four have a high degree of fighting knowledge but you all have a few things to learn, like Cynder you need to use you smaller stature and speed to your advantage while Nick needs to try and use less brute force. As for Spyro you are over estimating your enemies too much but you know when to help your friends and lastly Kirk…"
Everyone looked at Kirk weirdly except Nick who just smirked, "… How did you become yellow and faster?" Kirk sighed and rolled his eyes "I can change colour and because of it I can use the element that corresponds to that element and its other effects like faster with electricity"
Terrador hadn't heard of any dragon like this and said "Ummm that's… unique, I never heard of a dragon being able to do that how many can you use?" Kirk didn't say anything but flipped through all his four colours which were fire, ice, earth and electricity again then he went back to his normal red.
"Interesting I'll talk to the other guardians about this but for you four you may leave, I can see you're too tired to continue today so go have fun" Terrador said before walking away.
Just then all the other kids came in and Spyro said "Let's get out of here before Ember notices" Everyone agreed and at the mention of the name Cynder was even more eager to leave then the others.
They exited through another door and flew to the city, when they landed Spyro asked "So what can we do that's fun around here?" Kirk thought it over and said "Well I think we should talk a bit first, we actually don't know much about each other to be totally honest and that means you need to participate too Nick" He rolled his eyes and they started walking in a random direction and talked.
"So Kirk you got an eye on anybody?" Spyro asked out of the blue and Kirk said a little surprised "So you just start off with that, seriously" Spyro shrugged and said "Hey you said ask questions now answer"
Kirk huffed in frustration and said "Well kinda" Nick even had a surprised face and Spyro smiled "Are you willing to tell us?" Kirk shook his head "One question at a time, my turn" he smirked at his scheme "Do you have someone you've got your eye on?" Cynder paid a bit more attention suddenly and waited for Spyros answer.
Spyro blushed and would've totally told them who it was but Cynder was standing right there and said "Ya me too" Cynder half expected him to say the name but he stayed quiet. She was a bit disappointed but at least knew that he had a crush and she was determined to find out whom.
Kirk nodded and said "Nice, Cynder how about you or is that something weren't meant to know?" he said jokingly. "Well Maybe but I'm not quite sure" she said lying. Kirk shrugged and looked towards his brother but he only shook his head. Kirk rolled his eyes and continued to walk.
They kept walking not even noticing where they were going and the day suddenly was almost over. Cynder looked up and said scaring everyone a bit "Oh man I got to get home, see you guys later" she ran off and left the guys by themselves.
When Cynder was clearly away Kirk said "Alright truth time Spyro, she's the one you like right?" Spyro went wide eyed and said "Umm what gave you that idea?" he said not actually denying it. Kirk smirked "Man you're terrible at hiding it, I mean in the fight you gave up the easy win to save her" Spyro was going to deny it but sighed in defeat "Ya I do"
Kirk smiled while shaking his head and said "It's alright I can see why, she's good looking at pretty nice. Your secret is safe with us more so with Nick" he joked. Spyro thanked him and they all flew home.
Spyro said goodbye to them and went to his room to find Sparx drawing something. "What you drawing?" Spyro asked him. "Nothing just some dumb stuff… hey I saw your fight, good idea saving Cynder" he said smugly. Spyro turned around "You saw that?" Sparx nodded and said "Don't worry like Kirk said your secret fantasies are safe with me" he smirked again.
Spyros jaw dropped "You were spying on me all day?" Sparx laughed "Yup man you dodged a huge bullet when Kirk asked if you liked someone" he laughed. Spyro sighed and rolled his eyes and went to bed.
Sorry for the long wait guys but Halo 4 had in its grip on me for awhile but here it is for you. Admiralkirk
