Did I put a disclaimer in this? Well here it isahem I don't own Spyro(Horribly long boring speech about how Spyro and all the characters except Matt, Babylon, Marcus, Florence, Sophia, and Echo, belong to whatever company own their friggin TM's) Okay, here's your story!
The Dark Army flanked them, smashing into the sides of the Rynoc army causing mass casualties. Ripto ordered all the Rynocs to form up a defensive position around the hill. The Dark Army had already broken through the left side and it was already pretty grim.
"Sigh, I have to do everything myself," Ripto thought. He brought his staff up and smashed into one of the dark creatures that were coming at him. "What a waste of dark matter," Ripto spat out. He waved his staff and summoned an immense ball of fire. It smashed into the ranks of the Dark Army, making them split in two.
"We'll split the army half and half, you get that side, we'll get that side," Hunter yelled over the chaos of the battle. Sword clashed with sword, guns fired wildly hitting their targets with deadly accuracy causing life and limb to be lost. Hunter, Bianca, and Elora took one side of the army while Ripto and Marcus's group took the other.
"Hey Marcus, if this be the end, tell Babylon over there she needs more baths!" Matt laughed as he shot wildly at the enemies with a plasma rifle. Marcus battled wildly to where Babylon was fighting. One swipe of her tail dealt dozens of enemies death at once while her razor sharp claws killed the more persistent ones.
"Matt says you smell and that your hygiene is bad," Marcus grinned at his long-time friend. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Ha, ha, ha, you guys are so immature, thinking of things like that," She said flicking one dark creatures off of her. "By the way what are these things?"
"They are composed of pure dark matter; it's such a waste of energy though because they disappear with any major contact," Ripto said while ordering one of his Rynocs to take a dozen or so to help on the other side. The battle was evening out, each side now having the same number of warriors. Hunter ran past a rynoc with a sword sticking out of it, bleeding profusely from the wound in its chest. He gagged at the site, then notching an arrow; he shot it with amazing accuracy as he was rewarded with the scream of a dark creature. Such a grim reward.
"Something is coming out of the cave," a panic stricken rynoc yelled. Large bat-like shadows began screeching out of the cave. They were about the size of Babylon but having gigantic fangs and a bat-like figure. They grabbed rynocs up and soared into the sky, dropping them to their deaths. The battle was now going out of control. Without any defense to these creatures the rynocs scattered all over the place. Ripto eventually got them grouped back up the hill. All available archers were now firing wildly up at the dark forms.
"Well looks like this is it," Elora stated without emotion. "I guess we'll have to count on Flame to get finish the job, wherever he is," The rynoc forces were now down only to what a fraction of what they were. It was looking very grim. A shadow bat made a u-turn in midair and started back at the troops.
"I'm not going out without a fight," Hunter yelled and jumped on to the oncoming shadow bat. It veered left screeching with anger at the action. Hunter got a firm grip on what ever it was and fired an arrow straight into its head. It made a horribly sound and began plummeting down to the ground. With a sickening thud it hit the earth. Bianca gasped in horror at what had just happened. She sprinted over to the crater, killing what ever hindered her path with spells. She slid down the hole, running to where Hunter lay.
"Hunter! Talk to me, Hunter!" She yelled. She got no response. She burst into tears, laying her head on his chest. Strangled sobs of sorrow was all that could be heard over the entire battle field. It seemed as if the whole planet had just stopped. Bianca's tears rolled down her face, dripping onto Hunter's lifeless form. Bianca heard a faint distant noise over her cry. She stopped and pressed her ears to his chest. Thump, thump………thump, thump. She couldn't believe her ears, and for a moment she didn't. "Hunter?" she managed to say. Hunter heard his name; he began to fade back in to consciousness. He saw Bianca on his chest cryingand put a paw around her.
"Bianca…don't cry, don't cry…," he said staring into her eyes. She didn't believe her eyes now either. She embraced him, hugging him lovingly, pulling him into her.
"Don't you ever do that again, you stupid idiot!" She yelled at him, still hugging him. Hunter's eyes looked around; while Bianca had been distracted the dark creatures had surrounded them. Hunter didn't tell Bianca that all their bows were drawn; all he did was embrace her back.
"I love you," Hunter said nuzzling against her. The dark creatures were now notching arrows, not firing, as if waiting for an order.
"I love you too," Bianca said closing her eyes. Fire…
A fiery explosion hit all around the crater, destroying whatever thing stood there. A sea of flying dragons came roaring out of the twilighted sky, raining down onto the earth like a downfall of water droplets. They smashed into the forces, making a gap in-between the sea of black. Ignitus landed nimblely at the top of the crater, smiling down at the young couple.
"Come on you two love birds, Flame needs are help in the cave," Ignitus said pulling the two up and out of the crater. With that they dashed toward the entrance of the cave, sprinting between the split forces of the dark army. Arrows, beams, and splinters flew at them as they dashed madly through the war. Marcus, Matt, Babylon, Echo. Hunter, Bianca, Ignitus, Elora. All as one entered the cave.
The Dark Master frowned; he sensed the battle turning against him. He slammed Flame up against another wall, half in anger and half in pure amusement.
"You really are weak," the Dark Master said laughing coldly. Flame lay on the ground bleeding from a gash in his head
"Flame, Flame, Flame…the dragon living in Spyro's shadow, did you really have the idea you could just barge in here and foil my plans?" the Dark Master chuckled. "I mean look at you, your not as strong as Spyro, not as big, nor do you show any signs of using magic, what did you think was going to happen?" Flame shot up angrily and punched him in his snout. A smile appeared on the Dark Master's face as he regained his composer. "Oh, you'll pay for that you insolent little brat," He picked him up by his neck and flung him into another wall.
"So this was how it would end, getting smashed into walls by your worst enemy," Flame thought. "At least... at least he'll get his ass handed to him by all my other friends when they come crashing through the cave," Flame closed his eyes, so many things he wanted to do. He wanted to have a family, have two kids maybe three. Live with all his friends and get as old and senile as Ignitus. He smiled at the last thought, he had had a good life, and now it must end, but he would give it one final push. He stood up, clutching his bleeding head. A smile appeared on his face. The Dark Master looked at him puzzled; it had obviously caught him off guard.
"You know Flame, I think you should hear something," the Dark Master said, the smile dissolving from his face. "I was once no different from any other dragon, having no special thing about me, I was normal," "I had a family and even a mate-to-be, but this all changed one night," "I was taking a long flight, going off to think things through because it was my courtship tomorrow, when I stumbled upon this very cave," "I entered it and explored around when I found this meteor," "It was stunningly beautiful, it immediately took all my breath away," "I gazed about until an idea popped in my head, the crystals would be a perfect gift for my mate," "So I selected one of them, grabbing it and pulling it off," "Little did I know I had just set off the largest ticking time bomb ever!" "Another thing happened when I grabbed it, I began to feel something I never felt before, power…," "I became consumed in it and here we are today Flame," Flame looked down at the floor, the story, could it really be true? He looked up at the Dark Master confused. "Hahaha…are you feeling sorry for me!? After I kill three of your friends you are feeling pity?!" the Dark Master laughed evilly. Flame frowned; he looked at the Dark Master blankly, not showing any emotions.
"I feel sorry for the dragon you once were, you killed my friends therefore I hate you but I still pity the person you once were," Flame stated. "You may be a heartless bastard but you weren't always," The Dark Master shook his head.
"It doesn't matter Flame what you think, because it's the beginning of the end for you and every last being on this planet," he laughed manically. There was a large crash noise as Flame's friends came crashing through a cave wall. They stood on the opposite side of him, ready to fight. The Dark Master was now worried. He had not planned to face so many at once, even though he had great power he knew that a colony of ants could kill a lizard in shear size of numbers. Flame's smile returned as he got down on all fours.
"You're right for once, it is the beginning of the end…FOR YOU!!!" he screamed and charge forward toward the Dark Master, his eyes glowing with knew found power as he charged fearlessly toward the towering black dragon who was the only thing that stood between him, and life…
