Warning! Extreme violence and language ahead!

Spyro's POV

Brian's plan is working perfectly. Heck, when he came back from "warning" the monsters he told us that they wanted to have a feast in his honor. Now Brian,(in his human form) Cynder, Hunter, and I were waiting for a human patrol. Brian said that he would need a disguise to get past the guards. Brian identified them as mercenaries, Outlaws that had formed an army.

Brian whistled like a bird singing to warn us that a patrol was here. Cynder growled at them before using her shadow element to escape. The humans split up to look for her, Big mistake. Hunter caught one in a snare, I comet dashed three of them knocking them out, and Cynder used her wind element to throw the rest into a nearby tree. "Nice, Now can I have a moment alone with him please?" Brian asked as he pulled one of the unconscious humans behind a tree.

Two minutes later he emerged wearing the human's uniform and gear. "You better get back to camp, and take him too." Brian pointed to the human. Hunter took off running through the trees as Cynder and I took off together carrying the human. I hope he knows what he's doing.

Brian's POV

As soon as Spyro and the others were out of sight I walked off before looping around and "Discovering" the to play dumb.

"Hey! Hey! Get up!" I yelled as I shook the men awake. At first they started panicking until I punched one of them in the head to snap him out of it. "Now, nice and simple, What happened?" I asked.

"We were ambushed, another little dragon growled at us and then disappeared. I thought that if we split up, we could capture it and add it to the others." The sergeant spoke. "And you see how that ended up." One of the others added, they didn't want to admit that a little dragon mopped the floor with them. Suckers.

The next few hours went by pretty fast, I was so focused on blending in I really didn't pay attention to what I was doing. I started to brainstorm ways that I could sabotage their operations without giving myself away. I looked at the large stone brick tower trying to decide if it would be a threat or not. Then I got an idea, off to the armory.

Twenty minutes later,

"Sound the alarm! We got scum coming in from the east!" A frantic voice sounded over the radio as the humans scrambled to meet the threat. I already knew it was the grublins. The humans fired on them with underpowered weapons and black powder cannons. Good thing that Grublins only look tough. the mercs thought that their weapons were supercharged. After the battle I went to the top of the tower and whistled. A golden eagle came down and landed on my arm. "Give this to Hunter," I instructed as I handed it a small device, "And tell him: Now is the time." The golden eagle took off. Time to get ready.

The sun was touching the horizon when I got to the prison, or as the mercs called it "The dragon keep". Two guards stood by the door, It was obvious that they were bored to death. I approached. "Hey you! Stop!" One of the guards shouted. "What's your business here boy?" the other guard asked, He just gave me an Idea.

"The training captain thought some on the job training would do me good." I lied, "On our way here something came up, he told me to go on ahead and relieve you two." The two guards looked at each other with doubt. I heard the sound of tires driving on gravel behind me but at the moment thought nothing of it. I wasn't the only one who heard the noise though, As soon as the guards saw the truck they made a quick look at me before their minds were made. "Alright boy, take over. i gotta get me some of that beer." One of the guards said as they both took off to follow the truck.

I was thankful and disappointed at the same time, Thankful that the beer truck was enough to persuade them, and disappointed that they fell for beer. I was taught that beer was nothing more than an additive drink that would do nothing but poison you. And that was pretty dang accurate. Thank God almighty that there isn't any alcoholic drinks in the dragon realms.

WARNING! THIS CONTAINS BRUTAL TORTURE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

I quietly moved down the stairs taking off my disguise and summoned my weapon. As I got closer to the bottom I heard what sounded like cattle yelling out in pain. What the Heck?

I got to the bottom of the stairs and peered around the corner. What i saw, it will haunt me forever.

There was a young female fire dragon on her side chained down to a table in the center of the room, a hood was pulled over her head as a collar made of iron choked her. Her ribcage was showing through her chest as it slowly rose up and down. She was terrified, Something inside me snapped. Theses were not humans, they were monsters, even more than the Destroyer.

"You know missy that your kind are pathetic, weak, and stupid." A male voice insulted her as I saw movement to my right, I dove for cover. "Your so called monsters attacked today, only to be slaughtered by humankind's might! And at least they tried, none of your fellow dragons haven't even come near us to rescue you. Face it! They've abandoned you!" I peered around the corner to find a man that looked like a blacksmith working at a fire. He used tongs to remove a molten hot piece of metal from the fire before he walked out of sight.

Suddenly I realised what he was doing! He was branding animals repeatedly, their cries of pain terrified the dragoness, what's worse is that the hood prevented her from seeing what's going on. As far as she knows, She's next to be branded. the smith went back to the fire and put the metal back in. I walked up behind him. IT. ENDS. NOW. He turned around suddenly with a knife. I grabbed the knife and stabbed him with it before kicking him into the fire. He better get used to the heat. I cussed at him as I picked up a set of keys before going to help the dragoness.

Dragoness' POV

Suddenly the room got quiet. I was scared, Day after day I was chained to this table and tortured. Never left alone, it never was quiet. Was I dead? Was I free from all that pain and suffering? Could I see my mother and father again? I suddenly heard footsteps getting closer telling me I was still enslaved and that I was going to feel immeasurable pain any moment now. I would of cried if i could. The footsteps stopped as I felt a presence over me. I tried to move but I was held down by the chains, I braced for the pain, It was probably going to be the whip, He loved to use the whip on me. All I could do is wait for it.

But it never came.

Instead I heard a voice it sounded young, male, and . . . soothing.

"Easy, easy, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to get all the dragons to safety." It spoke, who was it? Could I trust it? It reached down and started massaging my back. I let out a sigh, I felt safe, even when I felt a human hand print. If it is a human, It must of allied itself with the dragons. It stopped massaging me and started to remove the hood that was placed over my head.

Brian's POV

When I removed the hood I saw her brown eyes, bloodshot, but relieved. I started to work on unbuckling the muzzle over her face. After that I removed the chains holding her to the table. She tried to stand up but the collar proved too heavy and held her neck down, It took a few tries but I found the right key to open it. She studied me closely trying to unravel what was going on. She looked over to the blacksmith's burning corpse and lunged at me.

At least that's what I thought she did at first.

She grabbed my by the waist and started hugging me. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She pleaded gripping me tight.

"It's not over until I get all the dragons to safety. Do you know where they are?" I asked. She became overjoyed. as she ran over to a set of double doors. I kicked them down to discover a dozen jail cells, eleven with a dragon inside. "Everyone! we're being saved! It's over! It's all over!" The dragoness cheered. The other dragons were relieved, except for one male earth dragon.

"Amber! Back away from that monster! It's gonna kill you!" It shouted as it tried to scratch me through the bars forcing me to fall down on my back. Amber, as she was called tried to help me up. As i stood up I heard several of the dragons gasp. the shirt must of torn a hole in the back showing my scales. Perfect timing. "Why does he have scales?" "Who is he?" the dragons asked among themselves as I took the shirt off.

"Long story short: I was a human, lost and on my own. Somehow I wound up in the Dragon Realms, In order to survive I was transformed into a one-of-a-kind dragon. When the guardians learned of this city, I was chosen due to my human background to save you. I can at times turn back into a human like right now, But, with the way you were treated, i won't." I explained as I freed all the dragons from their cells and collars. The earth dragon kept his eyes on me as I undid the final collar.

"A little room please, time to be a dragon again." they backed off enough so I began concentrating hard. Instead of a sharp pain like I was expecting, all I felt was freedom, I know it sounds weird but that's the only way I can describe it. I blinked a couple of times and shook the dizziness off. The dragons looked at me speechless, then again you don't see a human turn into a dragon everyday. I heard a boom outside, than another, and another. Perfect.

"Don't worry, that's the sound of what happens when you mess with a dragon, A dragon with a lot of friends." I explained as I checked the wall for weaknesses. Found one. "Can all of you fly?" I asked, hopefully yes. "Yes, but we do not know how to fight." A ice dragon responded. "Don't worry, just stay behind me, or another dragon If I say so and you'll make it." I instructed as I charged up an energy orb. I swear that wall was made of cardboard when my blast obliterated it. Debris flew into a courtyard taking out some unlucky Mercs.
