Chapter 9: Inferuno Doragon

"Spyro, Cynder, you two can stay with me at my house if you'd like," Orihime offered, "I've got plenty of room."

"Uh...thanks..." Spyro said, a little confused.

"Whatever you do, don't let her cook for you," Ichigo whispered to Spyro.

"Why not?" Spyro asked.

"If you let her, you'll regret finding out."

Everyone left to their respective homes or where ever they are staying. Later that night, Spyro had taken Ichigo's advice not to eat Orihime's cooking. Cynder on the other hand did not.

Cynder walked into the room that she shared with Spyro. Spyro noticed that she looked a bit pale, "Whatever you do, don't let her cook for you," Cynder said before running to the window and throwing up.

Spyro that night had a dream. But not just any dream. Spyro was contacted by his zanpakuto, Doragon.

"This place again?" Spyro said as he noticed that he was back on the mountain of his dreamscape, the home of his Zanpakuto, "Doragon, are you here?"

"No, it's your cousin, Marvin," Doragon said sarcastically, appearing out of nowhere, "Of course it's me. I brought you here because I believe you're ready to take me to the next level."

"The next level?" Spyro asked.

"Bankai!" Doragon said. The Doragon split into four separate dragons, each of them resembling Doragon. The first was a red dragon with orange eyes who's wings and dorsal scales were engulfed in flames. His tail spade resembled a flame. The second was an icy blue dragon with eyes to match. His wings and dorsal scales appeared to be composed of ice crystals. His tail tip appeared to be a crystal shard. The third was an electric yellow dragon with eyes to match. His wings and dorsal scales looked to be pure electricity. He had a lightning bolt shaped tail blade. The fourth was a green dragon with brown eyes. His dorsal scales and wings appeared to be composed of stone. He had a tail mace.

"We are the four aspects of your power as a purple dragon," The red dragon said, "I am Inferuno Doragon, the blazing inferno."

"I am Hara Doragon, the frozen tundra," The blue dragon said.

"I am Raikou Doragon, the lightning charge," The yellow dragon said.

"And I am Jimen Doragon, the rock solid ground," the green dragon said.

"And we are your bankai!" The four said in unison.

Inferuno Doragon stepped forward, "I think we should start by teaching you to control me."

"And how do I do that?" Spyro asked.

"Fight me," Inferuno Doragon said, "Defeat me. Take control of me. Only then will you master me."

Inferuno Doragon took Spyro through a portal. They were transported to a mountain that was proportionally the same as the previous mountain landscape. However, the mountain that they were on wasn't just a mountain. It was an active volcano.

Then Inferuno Doragon attacked Spyro. Spyro summoned his Zanpakuto soon enough to use his tail as a shield. But the blazing heat still got to him, "Very resourceful. But you can't just rely on defenses to beat the blazing inferno."

Spyro was sweating from the heat that Inferuno Doragon was giving off. But he managed to ignore it well enough, "You should know that I'm full of surprises!" Spyro said. Spyro then lunged at Inferuno Doragon, keeping his tail in front of him to block some of the heat.

Inferuno Doragon jumped out of the way and built up energy, "HINOTE ARASHI!" Inferuno Doragon shouted. Then a tornado of fire was formed and traveled to Spyro, who was hit full force. Spyro's vision began to fade. Inferuno Doragon stood over Spyro as he lost consciousness...

Spyro is attempting to learn BANKAI? Not only that, but four different forms. One for each element (cliché). But each one has their unique attacks and abilities.

Will Spyro manage to learn how to use his bankai? Or will he continue to fail? Please R&R.
