Chapter 9: Dark Elements Training
PS: This Chapter was Completed by Noble Warrior Ace and Perfected by Myself
"Hey, Cynder, wait up!" the Dark Purple Dragon called as he followed the Purple Dragoness down one of the Twilight Academy's many corridors. She perked up at the sound of her name and let go of a large bag she was dragging behind her.
"Oh, hi Spyro." Cynder replied, turning to face the dark purple dragon. "What's up?"
"I got some really good news!" he said.
"Can you help me first? I got a lot of stuff to get to my room, we can talk there."
Spyro agreed and grabbed the rope with his mouth and started running down the hall like the bag was as light as air. Upon reaching Cynder's room, he set the bag in an empty corner of the room.
"Thanks, Spyro. So what got you so excited?" Cynder asked before opening the bag and pulling out a book and an inkwell.
"I found out about my heritage!"
Cynder looked up from her book. "You know some people in your family?"
Spyro nodded. "My parents and two of my grandparents!"
"Are you going to tell me or just leave me in suspense?"
"This needs to stay between us for now; I don't know how everyone will react. I found out my parents are Drake and Hydra, and my grandparents are Exedra and Galaxia! I'm royalty!"
Cynder just stared in shock. The goofy dragon she had been friends within years is the Grandson of Two Dragon Gods? She couldn't believe it, but she knew Spyro wasn't the type to lie to her.
"Spyro, that's great! After everything you've been through, you deserve it."
"Heh, thanks Cynder. So do you need any help? I don't have anything to really do today."
"Oh, I'm fine, thanks. Today's homework isn't all that hard. Go enjoy yourself, Prince Spyro." She teased the dark purple dragon before he walked out the door. "Prince Spyro… I'll never get used to that." She thought. "To me, he'll always be the same goofy dragon I've known for years."
Spyro walked down the hallway thinking of what to do. Other than telling Cynder, the remainder of his day was mostly empty except for his classes. Lost in thought, he didn't hear someone running around the corner and was blindsided by a green blur.
Spyro looked up to see a familiar green dragon. Leaf if he remembered correctly. A mid-sized, deep green dragon with yellow underside and yellow wings, a sharp tailblade shaped like a leaf. "Yeah, that's him." Spyro remembered last summer when this dragon had berries growing on his back.
"Sorry about that. Are you okay Spyro?" he asked.
"I'm fine. What's the rush?" Spyro said as he stood back up.
"Actually, I was looking for you. I overheard some dragons talking about you being under Malefor's control even now, I thought you should know just in case they try something."
"Thanks for the warning… are you one of those dragons by any chance?"
"Of course not! I know manipulating Dragons is what Malefor does best. It's not your fault that happened. I blame him, not you."
"That means a lot Leaf, thanks."
Leaf nodded and went back the way he came while his words raced through the purple dragon's mind. After everything he had done, including saving the entire world, so many dragons would still hate him. Spyro just sighed before looking out of a nearby window and noticed the sun's height in the sky.
"Damn it, I'm late!" Spyro thought as he quickly sprinted down the hall and jumped out of the window. He quickly snapped his Dark Purple Wings open and flew through the Academy until he ran through the door to his darkness lessons, nearly taking it off of its hinges in the process.
Inside, he found an almost empty classroom. The only other dragon there was his teacher and grandfather, the Darkness Dragon God Exedra. He was massive, even by adult dragon standards. He was covered with jet black scales and a white underside leading to a deadly scythe-shaped tailblade and had several tears in his wing membranes. He used a large skull as a mask; the only visible part of his face being his blood red eyes.
"Nice of you to finally show up." His grandfather scolded. "What excuse do you have this time?"
Spyro lowered his head to the Dragon God of Darkness. "I was talking to Cynder for a while and we kind of lost track of time…"
Exedra's crimson eyes stare the dark purple dragon down for a few moments before softening. He (and everyone else in Twilight Academy) knew about Spyro's infatuation with the Purple Dragoness. While he may have always been a strict teacher, he still valued his grandson's happiness above all else.
"Make sure it doesn't happen again." He said, lacking any display of emotion. "As a Dark Purple dragon, you have the potential to overpower even the Gods, including Myself. To help you accomplish this, I've decided to focus on training you… for now anyway. Now, follow me."
To say Spyro was in shock was an understatement. He had always had some form of punishment for being late, usually staying behind to clean the training area of debris. It took him a moment to register what Exedra had said and began following the large dragon god. Stepping outside, Spyro found himself in a different training area. A large circle of clear crystals growing out of the ground as Exedra explained what was going to happen.
"These crystals are modified to project thoughts as physical beings. When you enter the circle, I will create enemies for you to fight with ONLY your darkness element and physical attacks." He said before nudging Spyro toward the circle.
As soon as he approached the center, the crystals began to glow with black energy and several masses of darkness rose from the cobblestone floor, their shapes changing until they matched apes and orcs. He turned to see Exedra standing on his hind legs with his front paws on the two crystals nearest him, his red eyes having taken on a black ring around the irises. "BEGIN!" Exedra roared.
With the dark purple dragon distracted, he took a solid blow to his right side that sent him skidding along the floor. Another shade stood above him, axe held high before swinging it down. Spyro rolled to his left and the attack missed by inches before he fired a pulse of darkness at the shade and making it disappear immediately. He stood up again and saw there where at least a dozen more shades coming at him, various weapons made of shadows ready to pierce his scales. The sound of something running on his left caught Spyro's attention. An ape-like shade came sprinting at him, spear in hand. As he approached, Spyro wrapped his tail around the weapon and pushed the head of it into the ground, causing the shade to pole vault over the dark purple dragon who didn't hesitate to impale the construct with his tailblade and causing it to vanish as well.
Spyro noticed a lack of pain in his right side. Taking only a moment to look, he saw the wound had completely healed. Not questioning it, he looked back up to the remaining enemies. Some stood still while others came towards him slowly, preparing themselves for anything. Too bad they couldn't stand up to the darkness beam that tore them apart. The Dark Purple Dragon smirked as the black beam destroyed four of his enemies instantly before impacting on the far wall and exploding. As long as Spyro lived, he would never tire of that attack. The others took advantage of a small opening in the dark purple's defense to surround him. Spyro mentally laughed at their attempts before slamming his paws on the ground and letting a wave of darkness escape his body. The wave was a full three-sixty degree circle that quickly grew and sliced through most of the targets. The only survivors were two that had put their weapons up in defense. The moment they had dropped their guard, Spyro impaled one from behind with his claw while blasting the other with another dark beam and with that, the last of the training dummies were gone.
"I'm impressed Spyro." Exedra said as he released his grip on the crystals and they all stopped glowing as did his eyes. "I have to ask though, where did you learn how to use the dark wave? I don't remember teaching you that."
"Well I asked Cynder for a little help with the other elements and she taught me the basics."
"Basics? That was an expert-level darkness attack! Cynder must be very gifted if she could teach you that. How long did it take you to learn it?" Exedra asked.
"About a week I think. It was a long time ago."
"That will be all. I expect you to meet me here tomorrow… on time preferably."
Spyro nodded and walked back to the Academy with pride. Knowing you mastered an expert-level attack before even taking a darkness class would do that to most dragons. Exedra closed his eyes to remember when he had created the attack. He visualized what he wanted the energy to do, but he couldn't manage to perfect it for a year and his grandson had managed to do it in a week! Exedra looked up to the sky as the last of the darkness residue vanished.
"You are quite the powerhouse Spyro. I'm proud of you…" he thought before heading back into the school to teach his next class.
A few weeks later…
"Spyro, use a dark mist!" Exedra ordered from the sidelines. He was gauging Spyro's progress on mastering new techniques. It appeared that darkness was perfectly natural to him, being the grandson of the darkness god tends to do that. He would grasp the concept of a new attack in a day or two, and master it quickly after that. At the moment, he was exhaling a black mist that looked very similar to Cynder's shadowfire.
"Excellent! Now show me your shadow step!" Spyro sunk into his own shadow before quickly shooting out of the shadow made by the wall. Shadow step was a very useful teleporting skill for dodging and getting around an enemy.
"Shadow cloak!" Spyro's body turned into a mass of black smoke before Exedra shot a dark beam that harmlessly passed through the purple dragon.
"Dark wave!" The purple dragon smashed his forepaws on the cobblestone again and a huge wave of darkness that dwarfed the original one he demonstrated engulfed the entire training area.
"Very good Spyro, you may not be a 'master' yet but you are definitely the strongest darkness user I have ever taught."
Spyro didn't know how to respond. Such praise coming from the darkness dragon god was unheard of for someone his age. Exedra dismissed him saying his lessons were complete and he was to meet Hazard the next day for Fear lessons. The dark purple dragon agreed and walked back to the Academy. He had finished much later today than he normally did. It was already dark and the moon was out.
The Next Day...
Spyro woke up in his room in the Twilight Academy as the sun rised, after days of training under Exedra he was almost tired out. He got up and saw that he was late again.
"Aww man, why?!" Spyro said as he leaped off his bed and out the door.
And he did not want dissapoint a Dragoness Goddess who created the Fear Element. He quickly dashes off while grabbing some meat, eating it quickly. He soon practically crashed into the Wall of the Twilight Academy. As Spyro gets up he looks around too see that it gets really dark as he walks on to get to his training until it's pitch black and then there was a light leading to a training area. As Spyro followed the light, he saw the training ring and outside of the large circle was a crystal. As he looked at the crystal it looked eerie. A dragoness face appeared in it and Spyro immediately knew who it was, the red eyes she had were not easy to forget.
"Hey Hazard, sorry I'm late. I overslept" Spyro said feeling a bit uneasy.
"Nevermind that, find me in the darkness, only use fear to aid you" Hazard said with a terryfing look on her face.
Spyro is soon felt even more terryfied as all the torches where blown out. He walked aimlessly in the dark as he could only use his fear element. Then something happened that made him scared the most...he found her. Spyro froze as he stared into her red eyes. She was huge just like the other Dragon Gods, she had five wings, a prehensile tail, and had a underbelly and a wing membrane. And as striking as she was she still topped with her red-violet robes, headscarf, and silver bangles. Seeing that Spyro was afraid because of the fearful atmosphere she came up with, she tested him to see if it truely affects him. So quickly and easily she grabbed his horn with her tail and did a simple, but deadly siren scream to see if he would just give up. Spyro was terrified of her, but he snapped out of the frightened state and did a Siren Scream back and amazingly it was almost was as loud as Hazard's.
"I'm impressed you showed me that you are not afraid and that's the first step in learning how to master in the art of the fear element. It's good to know not to fear the fear, but use the fear" Hazard said with a smile.
Spyro smiled weakly, because this wasn't going to be the last horryfying test. Though he is brave, but Hazard just scares the Dark Purple out of Spyro.
"Spyro may you please burn the torches for me?" Hazard asked.
Spyro blew fire on all the torches quickly.
"Good now that you may see I can teach you how to perfect your siren scream, as it becomes stronger into a Blaring siren scream then a Peircing siren scream." Hazard continued as they walked into the ring. She sent Spyro to the middle of the ring.
"Yes ma´am" Spyro said a bit nervous.
"Spyro do you know how to use the Phantom fright?" She asked.
"Well... no, I don't" Spyro answered.
"Do you have any friends who have the power of the fear element?" Hazard asked.
"Well yes it's a Purple Dragoness named Cynder" Spyro explained.
"Oh Cynder, I see. I've read her records and well she's simply a marvelous student, learn as much from her as you would from me and you may master the fear element know let's see your Siren Scream again" Hazard replied.
Spyro once more did a Siren Scream.
"You should give it a bit more like this" Hazard said.
She then did a powerful Piercing Siren Scream. It sent Spyro flying back into the wall. Spyro felt like he broke his back.
"That is not tolerable, I expect more from you. Now you should try this again first you then me" She said glaring at him.
"Yes ma´am" Spyro said in pain as he got himself together.
Then Spyro did a Blaring scream.
"Better, but still not like this" Hazard said taking a deep breath.
Spyro braced himself this time and when she did her Piercing Scream. He flew back, but was not flung toward the wall.
"Better" She said.
He trained and trained for a few more days, but Spyro still could not reach the Piercing scream. He decided to go to Cynder to take a break.
Cynder was walking towards Spyro as Spyro walked through the halls. Spyro stopped her by walking in front of her.
"What's up Spyro?" Cynder asked.
"..." Spyro did not speak or respond.
"Spyro are you ok?" Cynder asked a bit concerned.
Spyro shook his head once. He then used charades to try explain to Cynder. First he seemed to be acting like he was shouting without sound then he acted like he was shivering in fear. Cynder then figured out what was going out, Spyro was training with Hazard and lost his voice doing the siren scream and trying to do the other screams.
"Ok let's take you to the nurse" Cynder told Spyro.
After a quick visit to the nurse and getting a red gem, water, and a type of tea, Spyro rested in his room. And after a few minutes he got up and went out of his room to see Cynder sitting right outside checking out her claws and she looked up and smiled.
"I'm alright, but I still can't perfect the piercing scream" Spyro said seeming a bit angry.
"Your not strong enough to do that weak and simply move. You couldn't even send me back one inch" Cynder teased, but with good reason.
"What?! That's not true! I'll show right now I could be a better Dark Dragon you could ever be" Spyro said getting angry with no explained reason and then he did it. He did a piercing scream sending Cynder a few feet back.
"Woah calm down, but at least you did it" Cynder said with a smile.
"Alright now to work on my Phantom fright" Spyro said flying off.
After few more frightening training sessions,he quickly became a master of fear . He broke about 11-15 bones, but he learned how to do the Paralyzing Phantom fright, how to create several huge fear bombs at once, how to break down an enemies courage mentally, and how to be anyone's worst nightmare. Now everyone was amazed that he didn't break down and quit some even mocked him seeing that it was stupid to keep on, now he was going for Shock. But Shock's um...different. He didn't wait for Spyro to come to the training area. While Spyro headed to his class a ball rolled in front of him and it was green. He did not know what it was, but it looked familiar. Then he got it, but he was too late. A type of tear gas then spread out of it, first it was white then yellow and it turned green. Spyro coughed a bit and as he tried to escape the gas, he bumped into something big and soon he felt like he was stabbed. He was so close to escaping, but passed out. Soon he woke up in the training area.
"Wait, what happened?" Spyro said as he looked around.
He was in a training room where it had a pool of some sort of substance in the middle. As he looked closer he saw that it was poison.
"Hey Spyro ready to do some training" Shock said.
"Ok?" Spyro said confused and totally thinking that Shock was totally nuts.
"Alright then" Shock said then he stabbed Spyro in the neck with his scorpion-like tail.
"Ahhh, what was that for?!" Spyro yelled in pain.
"Stop being a wuss, it's not deadly, well not totally,just part of your training now walk in a straight line over there into the pool of poison" Shock replied.
"This guy's a psycho" Spyro said walking into the lava slightly wobbly with his sight blurry.
He walked into the poison and it stung a bit on his scales and he winced in pain.
"Alright now drink the poison" Shock said seriously.
Spyro hesitated and Shock stood there staring at him. Spyro looked at the poison then at Shock then at the poison then at Shock. He kept on until he stopped and looked at the poison. Spyro took a deep breath and drank the poison. He took a few gulps and coughed.
"Whoa now that's enough you pass the first test, your the second persson to ever pass the first test" Shock said.
"Wait what do you mean second?" Spyro asked.
"Well the first one was a partly a god, but the others weren't so lucky most of them died others were injured. Some were eaten alive by the poison and suffered painfully.
"Yeah, but you didn't" Shock said with a normal expression.
Spyro didn't have a response and Shock continued,"Well Spyro now let's see you spray the most deadly poison at this dummy here and you pass this test". Spyro looked at the dummy, but when he tried to shoot his venom he started to become delusional and even saw things that weren't there. Like he saw Cynder dead and he saw creatures that didn't even exist. He then shook his head and threw up a lot of venom that burned through the ground after eating the dummy.
"Ewwww, that doesn't look right" Shock said looking at the venom in disgust as it did look more like digestive acid than venom.
"I'm a cute little rock" Spyro said sounding like a lunatic.
Shock slapped him twice to get Spyro back to his senses.
"Let's try again. I don't care if I have to dunk you in poison to make this work, if you feel dizzy, don't fight it flow with poison as it moves in your viens" Shock said.
Spyro decided to take the advice. And soon he didn't feel so sick anymore. He took a deep breath and sprayed at a wall and it penetrated the wall smoothly.
"Alright nicely done you achieved the first test of your strength with poison. Now to drop you into a deep well of poison" Shock said and they walked toward a circular patch of grass in the room.
Shock dug a deep hole and filled it up with his deadliest poison. He got a gem and dropped it in.
"Jump in the poisons fine. Now find me the gem. You pass if you survive" Shock said with a smile as he enjoyed these test.
Spyro dove in and it burned his scales and eyes as he swam to bottom and got the gems, his sight was becoming blurry, but he didn't give up once he swam through and reached the surface and got out of the burning poison. Spyro gasp for air trying to breath. He panted for a while.
"Great you passed as a treat you can use that red gem and more for your burns" Shock said giving him more.
Spyro felt better as he used the red gems. Spyro felt something bubbling within him. Then he sprayed a Lethal venom and it penetrated more smoothly and quickly and lasted longer.
"Nice you have done the top-level of venom, but you still haven't mastered all the basics. There is still a need to learn the levels of the scorpion strike." Shock continued.
"Alright I will do anything" Spyro said a little loopy as the venom affected much of his thinking.
For a few more sickening lessons on the poison elements, Spyro had to go to the infirmary several times. Other dragons threw up as they learned that he drank Shock's poison. Most of his scales burned up, but after a while they grew back. He soon learned how to do the Lethal Scorpion Strike. He broke 20 of his bones when Shock challenged him. At one moment he bled poison. Spyro began to get better as he could move venom throughout several distances with his claw. He didn't give up when he lost some of his sanity after, being left in a locked barrel of poison for hours. He learned to produce poison through his claws and to make a coat of poison around his body. Also he made lethal nova gas like bombs and how to give a person hallucinations. Now he was going to do his last test.
"Well Spyro between the training lessons and the challenges, you've grown. Now for your last test" Shock said with a smile.
"Finally" Spyro said weakly.
Then a weak limping paled scaled old dragon with green eyes came in. He looked horrible and it looked like he had rabies. He looked horrible and it was sickening to look at him.
"Spyro I've injected this old dragon with a deadly poison, he volunteered to help with this test, I want you to cure him you've got only 5 hours to think how or he will die" Shock said seriously.
"What?!" Spyro said frightened at the thought he had the cure a dragon who could die in a few hours. And he didn't know how.
"I trust that you will find a way to solve this. And don't bother asking any other Poison dragons or the nurse. My poison's different. Traditional remedies won't work.
"I can't. I don't how, I won't do this" Spyro said not accepting the challenge.
"Sorry Ry, looks like your going to die" Shock said apologizing for Spyro's ignorance.
"It's ok, at least I did something for a good cause" Ry replied.
Spyro with tears ran to his room as he was emotional when it comes to deaths he might have something to do with. Shock saw as he ran and shook his head. A few minutes later there was a knock on Spyro's door.
"Come in" Spyro said as he was thinking and writing on a scroll.
The door opened and Cynder came in.
"Spyro are you ok? I heard what happened. You can't give up. The old dragon still has like 4 hours to live" Cynder said.
"You don't understand I've tried eveything. I even wrote a whole page on ideas, I even tried thinking of moving the poison, but has a risk of the poison going into his heart and killing him" Spyro said angered.
"I don't think you're trying hard enough. Your thinking to hard" Cynder replied.
"Just leave me be Cynder" Spyro said.
"Fine, but I want you think about what I said" Cynder replied leaving.
After an hour of thinking Spyro got out of his room and headed back to the old dragon. He looked at the dragon thinking of many of the ways he could, but then he realized Cynder was right he thought about it too hard. Then he found out that the old dragon had one patch of living scales that weren't pale and dry. So he placed his claw there and it was smooth and clear. So he got an idea to make his mind the same. Once Spyro did he cured him and he was a fire dragon now full of life once more.
"Thank you young dragon" Ry said as he left.
"Congratulations, you cured Ry, you are now a master of poison" Shock said as he entered the room.
"Yes!"Spyro said happily and even did a little dance, but broke his leg.
"Yeah I'm going take you to the infirmary" Shock said placing Spyro on his wing then taking him to the nurse.
After a few days of therapy and healing Spyro returned to his training though he still felt a bit weak and exhausted. Now it was time for the simple Wind element. He walked into his Wind class and saw Oberon waiting for him. She beared four wings instead of two, covered in feathers, not scales. She wore many gold bangles around her legs and neck and makes jingling sounds whenever she walks. She also had violet scales like the purple dragon of legend with yellow underbelly and wings. Once Spyro was at the class he quickly began with some Cyclones, Twisters, and broke the sound barrier easily in flight. He was still exhausted, but he aced the Wind element. Soon he did a race with Oberon and won.
"Wow young dragon your a natural at this" Oberon said with a smile.
"Well I've been through alot throughout these days" Spyro replied.
"Well you have mastered all of the elements yet you still have a lot to learn, so the Gods will require you to check in each class and practice. It's simply so you don't get lazy" Oberon explained.
"Splendid*yawn*" Spyro said tiredly.
Two Months later...
After two months of training Spyro have gotten stronger and his body shows it well. He seemed more bulkier than ever. He has much more power now than a Demi-Dragon God. Cynder's noticed too. Spyro now trains on some of his own time figuring out his combat skills as he mixes his elements into combos againts 10 elite dummies. Cynder was there just watching him. Spyro burst into speed circuling around and around creating twisters and cyclones. They drew the dummies into one area. He then spread poison all over them and they melted. Another set came and he did a shadow claw and they exploded into smoke. A third set came and all he did was stare. He made the dummies so scared using the fear element that they decided to kill each other or themselves than fight Spyro.
"Wow, you were great and look great" Cynder said coming closer to Spyro with a seductive stare.
"Um...Cynder, stay back. I'm warning you" Spyro said feeling awkward. Cynder kept coming closer.
"I said stay back!" Spyro said running away.
"I just want to give your reward" Cynder said chasing him.
"Sorry Cyn, I need my space...to breath. And you'll make me go soft" Spyro said as he ran.
"I just want you to feel great. We both will" Cynder explained.
"No, Cynder. I just need some time" Spyro replied.
"But I love you" Cynder continued.
"I love you too, but...we need to slow down...I'm getting really tired*pant* I can't keep running*pant*" Spyro said tiredly.
"Love has no end, it doesn't get tired nor those it slow down. It keeps strong forever" Cynder replied.
"Cynder, stop chasing me" Spyro said.
"Why should I when you looks so good. You were handsome then, but now you just look sexy and hot" Cynder continued.
Spyro soon went into a dark corner and used his shadow element to conceal himself. Cynder wasn't fooled though. She caught him and kissed him and kissed him more. He melted as Cynder gave him his reward of kisses.
Sometime after Spyro was walking through some halls.
Under the Cloak of Darkness, Exedra watched Spyro as he saw how he was progressing and his power was becoming stronger. He removes the cloak.
"Well he's becoming stronger, we should keep a closer eye on him" Exedra thought.
Exedra decides to talk to Galaxia about the matters of dealing with Malefor. He goes off to meet her. He find her in the halls of the academy.
"Galaxia we need to talk, I have figured the idea of getting rid of Malefor. The other gods and us will be fighting Malefor ultimately killing him. I will lock Spyro in his room while this is in play. We wouldn't want him to intefere or Malefor to do anything that may cause more problems" Exedra told her.
"I understand, I'll inform Oberon and the others" Galaxia replied.
Galaxia went to the rest of the Twilight Gods. Once all is informed Exedra quickly goes to find Spyro. He finds him talking with Cynder.
"Spyro, I would like to speak to you in your room. Cynder may you excuse us" Exedra told them.
"Alright, later Spyro" Cynder said then left.
As Exedra walked with Spyro to Spyro's room, Spyro began to ask,"So what's wrong?".Exedra stared at him then answered, "Well young Spyro, we have to discuss a few things". Soon they were nearing the door.
"What type of things?" Spyro asked confused.
"I will discuss it soon as we enter the room" Exedra answered trying to make sure Spyro got in.
Spyro entered and as soon as he went in, Exedra locked the door, created a quickly shadow gate, a fairly simple gate only to keep Spyro in. Spyro was too late to realize this and banged on the door trying to get out.
"What is the meaning of this?! I said I wouldn't run away again!" Spyro said a bit angry about being locked in his room once more.
"It's only to insure the ruthless Malefor demise without interference by someone else. We can't let you be there, or we might not be able to carry out the destruction of Malefor and his evil once and for all" Exedra explained before leaving .
Spyro banged on the door for sometime until giving one last shot.
"I can help! Let me out! Someone...Spyro continued.
He layed in his bed wondering what to do thinking about any possible escape.
Meanwhile Exedra and the other Twilight Gods and Goddesses teleport to Malefor's Chamber where they easily take down charging apes using little to no energy at all. Soon they reach Malefor's throne room. There he was standing with a huge smile in his face.
"Ah welcome, make yourselves at home" Malefor said jokingly.
Back with Spyro...
Spyro was pondering a while before he figured out someone who could help, the only person he could of rely on at the moment, Cynder. He began calling out Cynder's name," Cynder, Cynder. Oh where, Oh where has my little Cynder gone?" Spyro said hoping she would hear so he kept on and on.
Meanwhile with Cynder...
As Cynder left Spyro with Exedra she headed to the courtyard and relax, maybe read and study. Soon she got a bit tired and decided to get some food in the cafeteria before heading to her room to rest. She walked toward the cafeteria and grabbed a quick piece of well done meat. Once she was done she headed to her room, while she walked through the halls she heard some one call her name.
Back with Twilight gods...
Malefor stood there smiling, he knew what they were going to try. He knew that the gods before him were only shadow and fear illusions and that they were behind him.
"Ah Galaxia why go above me when you are totally beneath me?" He said without taking a second to look up.
Back with Spyro...
Spyro called and called Cynder until he heard a reponse," Spyro are you in there?" Cynder asked as she approached the gate.
"Yes now get me out of here, please. The Twilight Gods and Goddesses don't know what Malefor's capable of" Spyro replied.
"What are you talking about? Ah never mind forget it, you'll explain more as I get you out" Cynder responded.
She then picked both locks of the gate and door with her claws and Spyro was free.
"Alright, here we go again" Cynder replied following him.
After a quick flight to Malefor's Chamber at full speed, they managed to arrive when they were needed most. The Gods and Goddesses were advancing doing all they could to destroy Malefor. As they charged using many tactics to take down Malefor, Malefor sometimes copied them doing the moves better than they could. And that was impossible, unless he some how acquired essence from a dragon god. And that was way impossible. Malefor then started to glow as Spyro landed. Malefor was charging ahead knocking down the Gods and Goddesses. Spyro tried to jump into the fight to help, but Cynder held him back.
"We can't go in there, he'll tear us apart. He seems way more powerful you know. We have to live to fight another day" Cynder said.
Spyro thought deeply about it and agreed. Spyro breath a dark mist and Cynder blew some smoke and they saw the dragon Gods and Goddesses escape out of the smoke and they followed. Galaxia saw them when they followed and told the other Gods and Goddesses. Exedra glared and the others looked dissapointed at Spyro and Cynder. Once the arrived back at the academy, Spyro and Cynder got a harsh talking to in the office.
"What were you thinking?! Following us! You could of gotten yourself killed!" Exedra said angered.
"We just wanted to help" Spyro replied.
"You know how much power Malefor has, I don't know how, but Spyro you are still linked to him. The closer you are to him and the more power you gain, he gains" Exedra explained angered.
"Exedra we don't have time for this, do this later" Galaxia said.
Exedra glared at Spyro. Then Galaxia said," Spyro and Cynder you are dismissed".
"Spyro and Cynder left quietly out of the office.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with Spyro" Exedra said.
"Exedra, we're not here only to discuss Spyro, what about Malefor?" Hazard said.
"We'll have to kill him somehow, we need to get rid of his power...the only way to do that is..." Exedra replied.
"To extract the darkness linked to him from Spyro that might kill him painfully or kill Spyro quickly and painlessly" Galaxia said seriously.
Everyone was quiet now and they had no idea Spyro was hearing everything.
