The Legend of Spyro: A Hero Arises

Do I have anyone reading anymore, Jesus. I am so sorry for skipping out on you guys and gals, they way I have left you in the dark is just horrible. I did say I exams and all that, but tomorrow (Geography) is the last one. But that doesn't make up for the reason I never uploaded. My connection at home has been rubbish and is now fixed. I am going to be annoying somethings on YouTube, so check that out if you want. Name is Xi V11P3RZ iX on it so, yeah. Anyway, to the chapter.

Also, I don't think I need to add 'Remastered' anymore, right?

Chapter 7: Spooky, Scary and Serious, My Kind of Place

After we say we were ready, we got ready. This was our finest hour. Well until the next one, it was our first. Callum was getting his or my rifle ready. He loaded up and held it like a solider on guard, he gave me a salute and said, "Ready for your commands sir!" I just laughed and said "At ease." Jacob was just cracking his knuckles, and giving the ol' one-two to the air. He nodded at me, and I nodded back. Spyro was talking to Sparx, hell knows what about. I just heard home or something about home. I need to take them back after the events of DoTD. I on the other hand still had my pistol, one bullet or two left, didn't want to check as I wasn't going to use it. I just checked my sword as I held it in my hands. Beautiful, I inspected it really well, I was so concentrated on it, I think I saw fire come out of it...weird. I returned it to my sheath and looked at the others. "Ready, for real this time?" They looked at me and gave me a single nod. Except for Sparx who was just looking at Spyro and wasn't listening...then again, it is Sparx.

Me, Callum and Jacob got on the three guardian's backs and we were ready to set off to Cynder's Fortress, what Ignitus referred to in the game, 'Where hope goes to die'. And to this day, it still sounded dark for a game like 'The Legend of Spyro'. Anyway, I wondered how long it would take to get there. Stupid question I know, but I couldn't always rely on the game time. Even if it has stirred me right. On the way, we all seemed calm, but determined. Spyro just looked foward, eyes stuck to what lay in front of him. But Sparx was near him, he must've been talking to him or Sparx would be fed up. The three guardians chatted amongst themselves about, the future, and well about 'the worst' happening to there friend and colleague, Ignitus...hmmm, I have always liked that name and the character, Ignitus. Us three humans, well we talked about what's been happening and how we have got this sorted...I mean the teleporting from this world and time missing, I have a theory, but it needs to be put into perspective.

"Well, when I came here, I woke up in the forest." I said, but then I whisper. "Near the start of the game..."

They look at me but then remembered where they were...seriously guys? Anyway, they just nodded. Cal spoke next.

"Well, I was laying a pile of snow, comfy too...then it was cold." I chuckled and Jacob just looked at him with a 'that's all, face.

Well, I woke with a spear to my throat, grabbed the spear and stuck it in the apes throat. We looked at him with wide eyes. He said the last bit a lot louder and even the guardians looked at him. They soon got back to chatting and so did we.

"How did you guys get here?" I asked.

"Fell in Lake McCarthy." They both said, each word was bringing them closer to look at each other, they spoke again.

"What?" They both looked at me confused, "And...y...you Dan?" Callum asked fearing my answer.

"I fell in that lake..."

We knew now, we had there mouths open in astonishment of how one lake can do so much.

"I struggled to get out of the water that day. A voice kept saying something like, 'let go' and 'all questions will be answered in the future." I said with a little laugh at the end.

It was silent, only I was laughing, the other two looked at each other, then to me with wide eyes.

"Something wrong?" I asked, "Wait, you don't mean...no...you can't." I think that is what happened to them.

"I heard a voice." Said Callum, "Me too." Said Jacob.

"What did it say?" I asked. "Well, he said to me, 'You must help your friend to succeed.'" Said Callum. 'For me, he said, 'You must seek happiness in a new world, let me take you there.'" Said Jacob.

"Was you pushed in by a small shadow?"

"Yes..."

We look at each other, baffled. But this brung a smile to my face.

"Well, at least we can now pinpoint what happened." I said, "We know that we fell in the same lake due to the same thing. We also know that one day here, is one month in our home." They looked at me in with understanding.

"Yeah, but will someone else fall into it?" Callum said that. And he raised a good point. But due to it being my friends, I doubt anymore will fall in...does anyone even visit my lake? And besides, this voice is rare.

At this point, Sparx came flying over. This gained a sigh from me. I hoping not to see Sparx until we got to our destination.

"Sparx, why are you flying with us now and not Spyro." Callum asked.

"First," oh no...Sparx is making a speech! Everyone run. I whispered to Callum, "What have you done!?" He looked at me apologetically. "Spyro is boring right now, too focused." Is he serious... "And two, you guys are talking...he ain't."

"Sparx, you do realise that Spyro had just saw his mentor get captured a few hours back?" Jacob said, Sparx nodded. "So, don't you think he should be?"

"I have never been that protective over someone." Sparx said, his arms folded.

"Except a stick." I said with a laugh. Sparx looked at me to say, 'you're dead', but I didn't care.

"That was my stick and Spyro had no idea what he was getting into when he broke it."

"What did you do Sparx?" Ask Jacob.

"I gave him the old one-two and he ran off crying." I laughed.

"What he means Jacob," I began, "is that he ran off crying to him mum, she wouldn't help. So he tried to get as many people to sign a piece of paper saying something, most likely, 'Help banish this purple fatty'..."

Again, Sparx gave me the death stare. "Don't look at me like that! Tell the truth."

"Fine, but it didn't say that!" He said, I was shocked, I was right...total guess. "It said, 'Help banish this purple fatso.' He finished, again...I was basically right. We just keep looking at each other, Sparx wouldn't go away. But we just continued talking anyway.

"Sparx?" Callum began, "How old are you and Spyro?" I should've asked that, I would've knew their age when Spyro saved the world. (Quick little thing, what ever the age I pick for that dragonfly and Spyro is my choice, haters gonna hate but I hope you respect my choice) "Me and Spyro, we are 13 years old." I just simply nodded and though, 'I though they were younger.' Sparx went back to his brother while I was thinking.

We went quiet once we began to feel like we were descending. We were approaching a platform which we landed on smoothly, the guardians wished us luck and left, just like that. Man, was this place dark and scary or what.

-Spyro's POV-

I will make Cynder pay for even taking Ignitus. Why would she do this to her own kind? Why would she work with apes? I was to stuck in my thoughts to even hear Sparx with his consistent talking...he was like this when we were younger, in the village...in school...however, I can't think of those days, I am on a mission. But Ignitus isn't the only thing on my mind. Dan and his friends. How did they all get here? I mean, i don't really care as I would've been monkey chow and most likely killed in Tall Plains, but why is helping me? And also, he knows quite a lot about me in the short period I have known him and he just...well, I think he hiding a lot more than he as realised...and it must have something to do with him memories, once I get the chance, I will ask him...but for now, I must stay focused, I must maintain readiness to fight Cynder and her armies. I just hope they're apes. Speaking of which, why would Cynder use apes? I mean, I thought they were dangerous at first but they got easier to face. I don't want to sound cocky, but they sucked. I chuckled as I thought this, and awaited a comment from Sparx. He wasn't there. I knew this because he would of made a comment no matter what. I briefly turned my head to see hope was getting in a battle he could not handle. 'I wish he would be nicer to Sparx, but Sparx needs to stop getting in fights with him' I thought. Sparx came back my way, I though I better talk to him, I have been to focused and need to cheer him up.

"What's wrong Sparx?" I asked,

"Dan beat me." He replied.

"He beat you physically or socially?"

"Socially. When I tried to get people to get you for breaking my stick!" He yelled.

"Oh, sorry about that. But it was years ago."

"But it was mine." He again yelled, like a child.

"Sparx, the day before you broke my spirit when you said 'You suck at this Spyro'. Maths is hard Sparx, plus...it was hard standing outside while everyone was inside. I was outside all the time Sparx. Worst thing, you were worse than me! So what gave you the right!?" I started to yell the last bit.

"Sorry..." Sparx said frightened.

"It's fine, I am just on edge." I said, hoping not to go further.

I then though, 'that was a bit harsh...I'll make it up later.'

My train of though disappeared as I noticed the guardians were slowly starting to descend, I followed and landed with them...landed in a dark, scary place.

-Volteer's POV- (Extremely rare to see his or any other view of a Elder or Guardian)

Those humans are really, exciting and amazing beings. I wonder how they got here. And the young purple dragon, I agree with Terrador, he is ready. But I am thankful he has back up rather than that annoying blabber mouth...people like him are just rude and chatty. Reminds me of someone, ah yes. Cyril (by the way, this may look weird, but trust me. I know who is who and their personalities)

"Anyway Terrador, I must say we need to help them at this time." Said Cyril.

"No, we mustn't help Spyro on this one." Terrador replied.

"But, it would be easier that he had help from the very people that taught him." I said.

"He has help already Volteer." He began, "He has the three humans to help him."

"Will that be enough though?" I asked hoping to make him see what I see.

"I believe so, I have faith in them." He said,

"Then may us give them our faith and our fate is now in their hands." Cyril said. I believe this was too harsh but I did have faith in Dan and his companions. And I slowly nodded. We then began talking about what to do after this war is over and if other dragons survived.

"Well, after this is all over, I think we should expand the temple for young minds. There is hopefully still many villages left and they may be trying to mate in case the worst should happen, and either way, there are already young dragons Spyro's age." Terrador said.

"I agree," Cyril began. "I think it would be for the best."

I again just nodded.

We now stopped talking as we got closer to the 'Fortress of Darkness', it was a long ride and it will be a long ride back home. I just hope they return safely, I pray to the Ancestors they make it back safe and sound.

-Dan's POV-

It didn't take long to start taking on apes. It must have been a few seconds after we landed. And we were just starting to like the area. About 5 grunts came at us with swords at the ready. I pulled mine out of my sheath and got ready as well. Spyro stood there ready to defend and get the upper hand. Callum was holding his, well my rifle in his hands, aiming it around at the 5 apes. Jacob was kissing his fists and was ready to attack. I hope he grabs a sword.

The first ape comes at Spyro, he aims right for Spyro head but due to the lack of intelligence and ability, Spyro easily dodged the attack. And used his flame element on him. The money burned to a crisp in seconds, better give this ape to Tesco. (You would need to be in Britain when Tesco were selling horse meat in beef burgers and such)

The next ape came at the prisoner of 'Munitions Forge' and jumped on Jacobs back, not only scratching Jacob's back, but his neck too.

"Arghhhh...That all you've got!" He yelled and grabbed the ape and through him across the area and off the platform.

The next ape went to Callum, why would I be last? He lunged at Callum who moved out of the way and aimed his gun, he shot once only to miss...horribly. The ape jumped on top of him only to be knocked straight back off from a punch to the face. While the ape was dazed, Callum moved towards his gun and picked it up. We all head the shot and saw what it left. A hole for my glory to shine through. On the other side was me, I ducked as the bullet come out on the other side.

The forth and final one came to me. He came running with incredible pace and jumped on top of me. I kicked it off and he just jumped back on me. "Heh, fast one aren't ya." I said, the only reply I got was a spit. Not on my face, but on my Wigan badge...How dare he?

"How dare you!?" I yelled, I got him right off me and jumped to my feet as quick as I could, he came running at me and as he jumped, I stuck my sword (warning: not for the faint hearted) right in his right eye. I then stuck it around and then took it out, and then spat in his eye hole.

My friends looked at me with a surprised look on each face.

"What?" I began. "Never heard the expression, 'An eye for an eye'?"

"That was still Brutal dude..." Callum said,

"Yeah, why did you spit in his hole...and why make it worse?"

"Well, son of a bitch spat on the Wigan badge." I said in defence.

"Oh, that make it ok." Callum said, I laughed but Spyro were not impressed.

"Your people are really brutal." Spyro said to me.

"Well, if you think I am bad...go to my world." Then I said,

"Well, that is all four." I said,

"There was five..." Spyro said, "Sparx?!"

We found Sparx around the corner, not only alive, but with the other ape. He actually managed to put it asleep.

"This ape was rude." He said. He got a laugh from me.

We walked in further to the huge, black scary fortress and came across a few puzzles in there. We came across one that we let Sparx figure out, 15 minutes or so later, he had figured it out, only to see we were already in there, fighting of at least 10 apes, 2 being commanders. Once we finished the smaller apes, these apes commanders were smart and came at us at the same time, they knocked me and Spyro to one side, and Callum and Jacob to the other. We got up and saw one heading straight for us, Spyro shot ice at his feet/paws, freezing them solid. I then came up to it and put my sword through its heart. Not making it suffer having cold feet or paws now. When we looked over to Cal and Jacob. We saw they had handled it with a shot through the heart. We smiled at each other and continued.

"Where do we go from here?" I asked.

"Well, two ways in...5 people." Callum said.

"I think we should split up." This came from Spyro. Sparx was quick to object.

"I am not letting us break apart." Began Sparx, "It's bad enough being with all you in here, imagine if we split up." That gave me an idea, it also would mess with Sparx.

"I agree," I said. Everyone looked at me with surprise. "Thank you." Said Sparx. "It is bad enough being with each other, and imagine if we did split up...we would cover more ground. So we go this way," I monition with my finger, me, Cal and Jacob. "And you two go that way."

"But, it is unfair numbers." Yelled Sparx.

"We could cut you in half." Callum said,

"Don't make two of him!" I said with a smirk.

This made Sparx go small.

"Then, splitting up?" I asked.

All I got was a nod from Spyro and some chuckles with me doing that to Sparx. Sparx was just hovering there like he was going to say something, but it never come.

We went left and Spyro went right, who knew if that was a great plan forged by Sparx, or a plan that goes terribly, terribly wrong. Well, since it was Sparx idea (wink wink), we could always blame it on him.

Ok, as I said before, I am really, really, really sorry about not doing any chapters, and if you want...leave in the reviews or better yet, PM and I will do a painful thing for you guys...and display it on YouTube. Because, you are all my friends, and I do anything for friends. I hope you enjoyed the first chap of June. I might, for you Americans, do a 4 of July chapter. Just because you wanted independence and went to war over it, doesn't mean I hate America. You made up for it by saving our sorry butts in The Great War and World War 2. Thanks for that. Anyway, I ramble. I will do something on YouTube for what I did. That is a promise.
