Final Battle and A New Life
"I've been waiting for you." "We know, to be honest, I was hoping you would be here. I would've been disappointed if you hadn't." This ticked off Malefor a little bit, but he didn't show it. "As far as I can tell, you have only two choices. You can surrender here and know, and live, or you can fight and die." Iseras looked at Spyro and Cynder and they answered at the same time, "We fight."
Malefor leapt at them and they scattered, Malefor charged after Spyro to get bitten in the tail by Cynder, and slashed in the side by Iseras. He turned and knocked Iseras into a wall and clamped his jaw down on Cynder. She cried out and was thrown into Spyro. They crashed into the same wall as Iseras and landed on top of him.
They untangled themselves to in time to barely dodge the fireball that Malefor shot at them. Iseras ducked under the fireball and charged at Malefor. Malefor smacked him aside and looked for Spyro and Cynder. They dropped on top of him and clawed and slashed Malefor's back. Malefor roared and threw Spyro off of him, but Cynder dropped down and used her tail blade to slice Malefor's pride and shove it up where a man doesn't want it.
"Evil gets what evil does Malefor." said Cynder as Malefor roared in pain and rage. He slammed Cynder into a device that powered up and he readied an attack on Spyro. Iseras was on the wall between them. The device began to feed Dark Gem energy into Cynder, who screamed in pain. Cynder began to darken more and her eyes began to turn white. "Well Iseras, you have a choice. Save Cynder from my grasp, or save Spyro from death." Iseras growled then remembered something. A gift he gave Spyro. Iseras sent a telepathic message to Spyro 'Block with right wing', and Iseras ran for Cynder. Malefor fired his attack, and Spyro, hearing the message, blocked with his right wing. The attack encompassed Spyro as Iseras reached Cynder and destroyed the machine, preventing Cynder from being recorrupted.
Malefor laughed evilly as he ended the attack, but stopped laughing as he saw…a gleaming metallic wing, and Spyro unharmed. Iseras grinned and said, "My birthday present for Spyro. Hydronium has very unique uses, being indestructible." Malefor roared in uncontrolled rage and charged at Iseras and Cynder, to get blown across the room from a Light Beam fired from Spyro. Malefor got up and looked at the trio surprised. Iseras and Spyro grinned and shot Light Beams at Malefor.
Cynder placed poison on her claws and tail and slashed Malefor. He roared out in pain as the poison burned his muscles. Iseras broke Malefor's wing, and Spyro stabbed deep into Malefor's gut. Spyro, Cynder and Iseras returned the favor that Malefor gave them with their torturous imprisonment.
The battle continued for a long time. Light attacks were injuring Malefor and he was receiving several injuries from Spyro, Cynder and Iseras. But they were also as severely injured. All of them were bleeding, and Iseras was smoking from a fireball that he couldn't avoid. "You cannot beat me!" Spyro and Cynder attacked again, only to be forced to retreat from Malefor's continuous attacks. Malefor attacked relentlessly until he noticed that Iseras was nowhere to be found. Malefor gasped as Iseras's tail blade thrust through his back and out his chest. Iseras said, "You made the most elementary mistake Malefor. You stopped being aware of your surroundings. I believe this is Game. Set. Match." Iseras removed his tail blade and Malefor dropped dead.
"It's over, it's finally over." panted Iseras. They were all exhausted, but had to get back. They walked out to find the sun rising, its light shining brighter today than any other day. "A new day, a new life." Cynder gasped and nearly doubled over in pain. Cynder, what's wrong?" Cynder just groaned in pain and puked. Iseras looked at Cynder with his Light Vision and frowned. "There is something different about you Cynder." Iseras walked forward and gently placed his paw on Cynder's chest. He traced down her chest, past her stomach, and stopped on her womb. Iseras gasped at what he felt. A separate life energy. "Cynder…you're gravid." Cynder looked surprised and amazed, and so did Spyro. "Congratulations. You're going to have a kid." Cynder was overjoyed, but joy soon changed to worry. "How is it? Is my child okay?" "Relax Cynder. Your child is unharmed, special thanks to those Dragon Lordess powers of yours." Cynder breathed a sigh of relief and Spyro and Cynder embraced each other.
It has been one month since the fall of Malefor to Iseras, Cynder and Spyro. Iseras was hailed as hero next to Spyro and Cynder. The three were walking in Warfang, as Iseras had never seen Dragon City before. They had told the Guardians about Cynder being gravid, and more congratulations had passed. A bulge was beginning to be seen, and Cynder was taking extra care. They were talking as they walked through the streets. "I've always loved being a dragon. It feels so natural. In fact, I might make the change permanent." "You should Iseras; you're cute when you're a dragon." "Cynder, you already have a mate. And you're embarrassing me. Oof."
Iseras tripped and nearly fell flat on his face, giving Spyro and Cynder a good laugh. Iseras shook his head and looked back to see a missile launcher lying on the ground. "What is this doing here?" Spyro and Cynder also investigated. "What is it?" asked Spyro. "A missile launcher. Carranite technology." A large boom was heard above them and they looked up to see a transport coming down. Iseras's eyes widened as he recognized the transport. "What is that?" "A Kunari troop transport!" Iseras took the missile launcher, created a rock to lean it on, aimed it, and fired. A plume of smoke came out of the back end of the tube and a missile streaked out to the transport.
Two explosions hammered the transport as the rockets hit? He only fired one and the other rocket came from the opposite direction. The transport flared into incandescence, and a flaming wreck crashed down into the courtyard. They ran over and saw several people gathered around another transport. It was long, grey, and narrow, with four stabilizer fins, closed, on each side. The name Shadow Spirit was engraved in gold on it's side. It took up the length of the courtyard, and a door on the back of the ship was open. Iseras, Spyro and Cynder walked over to them and Iseras was surprised and overjoyed to see his wife, Tendara, and his son, Tyler. Several dragons, including the Guardians were talking with them.
"Do you know where I might find Iseras?" "Right here." Tendara looked around, but couldn't see Iseras. "Down here." Tendara looked down to see a light blue dragon standing in front her. "Hello, Tendara." "How do you know my name? I've never seen you before." Iseras gave a thought message to her. 'You are the only one who can hear my thoughts. You know the barriers around me.'. Tendara teared up and hugged Iseras tightly. "I thought I lost you!" "Can't…breathe!" Tendara loosened her grip, and Iseras asked, "Why?" "You've been missing for seventy years! Tyler took over when you disappeared. Speaking of which, Tyler!" Tyler came over and asked, "Yes mom?" in a very sarcastic voice, getting hit over the head with a tail. "Don't talk to your mother like that! I raised you better." Tyler looked down to see Iseras glaring at him.
"Dad?" "Long time no see." Tyler embraced his father and asked, "Why are you so short?" Iseras replied, "So that I can see my twin brother eye-to-eye." Tendara and Tyler looked quizzically at Iseras, who smiled and said, "Spyro, could you and Cynder come over here?" Spyro and Cynder walked over and Iseras introduced them. "Tendara, Tyler, this is Spyro, my twin brother. And this is Cynder, his mate and my half-sister." A flash of light and Iseras turned to see a green dragoness with four red horns, green wings with yellow wing membranes and a yellow star-shaped tail blade. She was the same size as Iseras. "Wow, Tendara. You look fabulous." "Thank you. But don't call me Tendara. I wanted to be with you. I would like my name to be…Tarith." Iseras smiled and nuzzled her. "Tarith it is."
"Alright, I want Battle Cannons on these walls ASAP! Tower defenses placed outside the walls! Four per wall! I want AA on these buildings now!" Tarith ordered. "What do anonymous alcoholics have to do with anything?" asked Spyro. Tarith stammered, "We-uh-it- never mind." "She means Anti-Air. Hey Tarith, since when did Carranites and Tallarans work together?" "Since Tyler discovered that both sides were being played. The Kunari have retreated to here. They landed the remnants of their army." Iseras was going to ask more, but a loud rumbling distracted him. Five massive cannons were being lowered onto the wall. The Fire Cannon had been removed and the larger cannons were placed.
Six days after the Terranites arrival, Tarith and Iseras were together, unofficially bonding the Carranites and Tallarans. Iseras had summoned his Carranite and Tallaran Battle Armor, and Tarith had done the same. "Today, we symbolize the unification of our two orders into one; the Terranites!" yelled Iseras and Tarith together. The Terranites cheered, and Iseras and Tarith united their armors. A flash of light and darkness, and the two sets disappeared and became one set. Iseras's armor was mostly gold, but had black and silver as well. A silver crescent moon appeared on his helmet where his scar would normally be. Two silver stripes moved across his face from the edge of his eyes to his neck. More silver traced other of Iseras's scars. A dark blue Gem appeared in Iseras's chest armor. Tarith's armor was mostly black, but also had gold and silver. The silver also traced her scars, and a yellow Gem was seen in her armor.
The following day, they got married…again. They were going to go enjoy the party when alarms rang out and the Battle Cannons could be heard firing. "Well brother, welcome to the Kunari War." and they all rushed to defend the North Wall.
