This takes place after season three of skylanders
Spyro was afraid of this day. He had to learn the Dark Arts. He would have to learn to use his dark powers so he could achieve peace.
The day started with Spyro getting woken up by a skeletal warrior that was created by Cynder. Cynder was in a joyful mood. She had gotten her mother back due to Spyro. Spyro had gotten a few headaches since he had brought Cynder's mother back to life.
He had been momentarily knocked unconscious by power drain. he realized that Cynder's mother wasn't supposed to die and had decades of remaining lifespan. He had harnessed that by using her soul.
He was coming to the dining room to eat when he foresaw a vision of him and Cynder fighting. He was angry that not only that he had only just solved his last forseen battle, but that he hated that he would be forced to battle Cynder. He pushed this aside and went to eating. The table had improved due to Spyro's tech powers. Now they had a holographic image of the skylands. He saw a dozen ships being manufactured at Strykore's castle.
He almost turned dark seeing Strykore act so evil. "So," He said breaking the silence, "Strykore is obviously trying to hit the Academy on one swift hit.". "Yeah." said Cynder, "He has been acting very suspiciously.". They continued to chat on this matter. Then all too soon, it was time for Spyro to go meet the Dark Master. He had been acting nicer around Spyro ever since Spyro had saved his life in the battle with the Doomraiders.
He saw the temple and flew toward it. The Dark Master was out in front, waiting for him. It looked like an altar with a beam coming out of it that was pure darkness. "Welcome, "The Master said, "to the Heart of Darkness.".
Spyro instantly had his heartbeat taken away. There was a small beam of light energy that traveled through a small gemstone that turned it into pure darkness. The Dark Master sighed and closed all entrances to the altar. "That crystal that you saw me pull out at the dragon meeting, well, that was the Heart of Darkness itself. I had used it because I had a premonition that I would need it to sense a dark presence." He sad slowly with a grave tone.
Spyro understood why he was so protective of it. That crystal helped balance the Core of Light's magic with it's own. He reached out to touch it. "Wait Spyro!" the Dark Master cried, "Don't!". Alas, it was too late. Spyro made contact with it and immediately he started to glow. He saw many sights and learned how to control his dark side. His sword popped out of nowhere and a copy of the heart of darkness appeared over the handle. He settled down on the ground and fainted. The Dark Master leaned over, believing him to be dead, but he saw him breathing.
He let out a sigh of relief as Spyro awoke. Spyro wanted to tell him what he saw but he heard several blasts of cannons outside. He burst outside and saw that half of Strykore's fleet of ships had arrived. He took a huge breath. He ran out onto the battlefield.
He saw several thousand gremlins onboard each ship. They fired a second shot at the Academy not too far away. The entire place burst into flames. He remembered his vision about the Academy burning. He growled and put it out. He turned out towards the ships and shot a Earth Arm at them. There were several gremlins onboard that fell off. They instantly retreated with a massive vessel coming through. Onboard, was Strykore himself. He frowned as he saw the gremlins retreating. "What is wrong with you!?" he yelled, "Attack!".
He then saw Spyro flying toward him. "So, you think your puny fire attacks are enough to trouble me? You are clearly delusional." He levitated and shot a dark magic orb at Spyro.
Spyro, not moving an inch used his darkness to redirect the ball, destroying one of Strykore's ships.
Spyro smirked "Still underestimating me? You need to work on that." he replied smugly. Strykore was now angry.
"Until we meet again young dragon! You will never be able to stop what is coming! You are finished!" he shouted. And with a blinding flash, he and his fleet disappeared.
Spyro flew back to the altar as if this was a regular thing. He met the Dark Master outside and they went back inside to study dark magic.
Spyro was a little afraid of what he said about that in order to use his dark form's powers, he had to go into his Dark Form.
He focused on seeing him in his dark form, with complete power over that form. He reached out to his mental opposite and touched it. He started to glow and his scales turned night-black.
He used his powers of dark magic, fire breath, which was more powerful in his dark form, and his technology manipulation. He walked out to the realm and went to train on the Academy's course.
There he realized he had Cynder's ability to shadow dash through objects.
He also tapped into Cynder's latent psycic ability. He practiced on the course and broke Stealth Elf's record of 5.078 seconds with a record of 4.003 seconds.
He now knew that Strykore knew that he used all the elements. He could stop trying to hide it.
He decided to ask the Cynder about that vision he saw. He asked her to come to his house in his room.
Cynder agreed when she heard of what they were talking about. She came there and he shut the door. He brought up a holographic projection of the skylands. Just then, holographic images of the Masters popped up. Spyro was not surprised since he had known this would happen. The war strategy meeting began.
"I have a suggestion for where we should take the fight. There is a desolate place that has a temple on it. I will try to bring the Battle to the temple. I have heard it supposedly weakens dark magic." Spyro said confidently. Cynder knew better than to speak out. "I belive if we make a route that way," The Wind Master replied, "We could possibly defeat his fleet.".
The conversation went on and on. "So it is determined, I shall face Strykore there, and the battle will engage." Spyro said. With that, the meeting ended and the Masters slipped out of sight.
He decided that it was time to bring Cynder's mother to Malefor.
"Cynder," He said hesitantly, "It is time to show Malefor the life of the one he lost a thousand years ago.". Cynder was also nervous at what her father would say. He told Cynder's mother, and they went on their way.
The Cadaverous Crypts were not the best place to live. Spyro had horrid memories of when Malefor gave him up to Kaos and he had gotten turned evil. He yet forged through.
He went to the place where he saw Malefor last, but Malefor had gone. "Hmmm, I wonder where he..." but before Spyro could finish he was swept away by a huge shadowy figure. He knew Malefor was waiting for him.
He used his shadow dash to escape and hide. He heard Malefor's enraged shouts. "Where are you little dragon? Come out and fight!". Spyro jumped out and shouted back. "I am here to show you the life you lost.". Malefor shot at him before a lightning strike hit his side and shot him sideways. Malefor was not hurt too badly ,but was enraged.
"Who dares hurt me, The Dragon King?" he shouted.
"I would" said Cynder's mother, ", and I thought you should show a little more respect to the dragon who brought me back to life!". Malefor was stunned. "H-h-how are you h-h-here? Y-y-you died a thousand y-years ago.". Cynder's mother spoke back. "It was Spyro here that brought me back to life. This is what you give him, a beating? It seems that you don't want me back at all.".
Malefor was stunned, and he started glowing. His scales turned purple and orange. Spyro started to glow too. He then disapeared in a tornado and a beam of light shot back in the direction of Spyro's house. "Sp-Sp-Spyro?! Where are you?" Cynder cried out. "I don't know," Cynder's mother said, "But I think we should follow that beam.". Everyone, even Malefor agreed and shot toward the beams location. They met it's end at Spyro's house. "What is going on? What happened, and where is Spyro." Cynder cried. "Wait," Malefor said, "I'm picking some tech and life in this ground.". He concentrated and a pod came out. A dragon that looked like Spyro was in a coma. The contraption opened and the dragon's eyes opened. The beam of light shot into them and the body fell to the ground, breathing.
Soon, the body opened his eyes and smiled. "Huh," it said, "It worked.". Everyone was confused. The figure sighed. "Oh right, they don't know about my secret project. Well for starters I should clarify who I am. Hi, I'm Spyro." it said.
They immediately launched into a conversation about what had happened. They all got the matter sorted out and they returned to their respective homes, with Malefor and Cynder's mother off to the Cadaverous crypts to stop Strykore's allies from being regenerated. That left Spyro and Cynder alone. They both liked each other a lot. After all, they had both saved each other from a terrible fate. They were mentor and protégé. They walked to the dining room chattering. Spyro brought a holographic image of strykore which he gave a pizza hat after smashing a piece of pizza in his helmet.
Then, they both walked downstairs to their rooms and fell asleep.
