And so, when we last let off, Larka had Spyro at her mercy, and she pushed her spear forward when it was pressed against Spyro's neck. And no, I have not forgotten about Memories, but I am having a bit of trouble finding out where I am going on it. And Ornlu's letter will be opened soon, somewhere in the next few chapters.

Disclaimer: I do not own Spyro or Metroid, just my characters.

Without warning, Larka shoved her spear forward while it was pressed against Spyro's neck.

"No!" Ignitus yelled as he shot a ball of fire from his hands, hitting Larka in the back and making her spear make a cut along the back of Spyro's neck. She made no hints of pain as she hit the ground, but instead got back up and smiled coldly.

Suddenly, both Ignitus and Hunter felt something sharp press against their backs. As they looked behind them, they saw that there was two Larka's standing behind them, and the one that they had their attention to turned back to Spyro.

"If they move, they will die." Larka told Spyro as she pointed her spear at him, "The only way to free them is by defeating me, since if you move to aid them, they will also die. I'd hurry if I were you, since we all have to twitch sometimes…" She added as she smiled coldly again.

"What's happened to you…?" Spyro asked as he looked around for a weapon of some sort, but found nothing.

"Why, something almost similar to you, Spyro. I have already learned a few things to do with this…power. Let's see what you have learned…." Larka replied as she rushed Spyro, who had little to react. Instead of going further, Larka stopped almost instantly.

Spyro tried to make a fireball….but failed instantly; instead getting severe pain that wracked his body. Spyro stood there almost stupidly before realizing that Larka was attacking him still. For some reason, his body didn't move, but made him kick Larka and make her stop and go into the ground from momentum.

She got up swiftly and smiled as she wiped a bit of blood away from her mouth. Still smiling, she dropped her spear to the ground with a small clank and held out her hands. At first, Spyro had no idea what she was doing, but then he noticed two light blue balls forming in her hands.

"Lets see how you dodge these…" Larka said coldly as she threw them at Spyro, who perfectly dodged them. He was used to attacks like that, since many of the enemies he had fought did something similar to what she did.

"Is that all?" Spyro taunted as he mocked a yawn. In response, Larka's smile grew larger as Spyro noticed that there was no explosion or anything that signaled that the balls had hit something. Instead, he was greeted by two whistling noises behind him as two things with the force of a boulder hit him square in the back and sent him down to his knees in pain.

Spyro was almost blinded with pain, since the balls had been charged with Phazon, and he had Phazon in him. When they hit him, it hit all the Phazon molecules, which were attached to his nerves. For some unknown reason, Spyro knew all of this as if he was inside his own body.

Larka charged two more Phazon balls and threw them at Spyro, who couldn't move. He was send flying into the air and landed on his back in the shape of a cross, a trickle of blood pouring out of his mouth. Spyro didn't move whatsoever, and it didn't look like he was breathing.

"So this is the great Spyro? Defeated by only a few attacks?" Larka taunted as she turned her attention to where Ignitus and Hunter were…at least they were supposed to be there.

"Boo." A voice said from behind her as a furry fist hit her in the face while fiery chains immobilized her while searing her body. Larka tried to escape, but instead found herself staring into the angry faces of Hunter and Ignitus.

"Heh…what will you gain from killing me? Spyro is pretty much dead, if he isn't already." Larka laughed as the chains tightened around her, making her laugh turn into a scream of pain.

"Larka, I know this isn't the true you. The true you wouldn't have done this, so as of now..." Hunter said as Ignitus hit her with a fireball, sending her flying and making her hit her head on a piece of rubble, knocking her unconscious. Ignitus then released the chains and followed Hunter, who was walking over to Spyro.

"He's not breathing…." Ignitus whispered after a few seconds. If anything, the blood on Spyro's face stopped trickling out.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming from the direction they were supposed to be coming from. They sounded almost mechanical, and a faint metallic sound can be heard as well. About a minute later, a figure stepped into view, but it was unlike both Ignitus and Hunter had ever seen before.

It was a white dragon…at least, that's how it appeared. His right arm was entirely mechanical, as well as his right wing and part of his left leg. On his tail, metal plates covered it entirely and left a blade on the end. There was a large metal plate over his chest, and his right eye burned with crimson glow, but his left eye was the shocking part.

It was amber.

The dragon stopped about ten feet away from them and frowned at Larka's unconscious body. As if he didn't realize Ignitus and Hunter were there, he walked over to Larka who began to stir. Raising his metal arm, a small ball of red energy began to form.

Larka's eyes opened slowly, but when she saw the dragon, she began to panic. "No! What are you doing!? I can still fight!" Larka screamed hysterically as the ball of energy grew larger. The fear in Larka's eyes grew larger along with the ball.

"You failed, Larka. Failure means death." The dragon responded without any emotion his voice. Without warning, an arrow stuck his metal arm, and while it didn't do any damage, it cut off his attack. The dragon looked directly at Hunter, who had another arrow ready. While looking at him, he whipped his tail at Larka and impaled her through the chest.

She dropped.

"No!" Hunter yelled as he fired an arrow at the dragon, hitting him in his left shoulder. The dragon growled slightly, but Hunter hit him in the collar bone with another arrow. Hunter began firing wildly at the dragon, who showed no signs of pain. After a bit, the dragon just walked away.

As soon as he was gone, Spyro suddenly gasped and sat up and rubbed his head. "What…what happened?" Spyro asked groggily as his eyes focused on a slumped Larka, who had a large hole in her chest and was barely breathing.

"Ornlu did this…." Hunter whispered in an almost defeated tone.

"How can that be when I was told he was dead?" Ignitus asked before Spyro could.

"It was him, I just know it. Who else has amber eyes?" Hunter replied to Ignitus, who had picked up Larka in his arms.

"Can someone explain to me what the hell happened!?" Spyro yelled, both confused and annoyed. None of this made sense, since Ornlu was dead. How can it be that he could be living? All he remembered was Larka attacking him, and then nothing.

Ignitus explained what happened to Spyro, whose confusion was enhanced when the dragon that he mentioned said that Larka had failed at something. Could it be that she was double-crossing them? "So, Larka is double-crossing us?" He said after Ignitus had finished.

"I don't think that is the case, Spyro." Ignitus replied, "I think that Larka was corrupted by Phazon, which was obvious, and the person who corrupted her made her attack us. And if she failed in something, she would be killed. We will have to ask her when she heals….if she heals." Ignitus added grimly as he started towards where Adam, Cynder, and Ember were.

"Spyro, I am going to go with Ignitus just in case." Hunter said as there was another large explosion coming from down the hall, in the direction they were heading before they ran into Larka. "Wait for us if you see anything…" Hunter added as he ran off after Ignitus.

Spyro waited until he had disappeared and then ran off in the direction that the explosion came from. The thing that happened to Larka sounds something like…no, it can't be. We defeated him… Spyro thought as he ran, somehow winding up in a large lab-like room.

There was an almost electric sound coming from somewhere inside, and there was defiantly something eerie about this area. As he wandered around, his chest suddenly felt like it was going to explode. Clutching his chest, he coughed up blood that seemed to be mixed with a blue liquid that seemed to rapidly change it. His vision was turning a blue color, and he had suddenly turned aggressive.

It was if he was dying, but before he did, he wanted to kill everything he could before he did. The insanity inside him was growing, and he suddenly found himself breaking everything in the room. It felt so good to him, since he knew that he was destroying things, and he wanted more.

However, he realized that he wasn't alone in this room, and he charged randomly through the room until he found an open space with a floating figure standing in front of a barrel of blue liquid, which was making an electric sound. He couldn't take in the features, since he was too caught up in destruction and he just wanted to kill it.

When he stepped towards it, it dropped to the ground and stood there with its back towards him. Without warning, the figure spun around and shot balls of blue energy rapidly at Spyro, who dodged it. He then smiled and rushed at the figure.

The fight was on…

To be continued…..
